Xana's story
Chapter 4
John and Xana were still running they had no chance of hitting the creatures that were attacking them since they could keep above the two and keep firing while John and Xana had no ranged weapons they hoped that Kelly would arrive and help but Grace told them she had be sent back to earth
Andy was watching Riya she had arrived at a cross roads in the ice Andy had been using his powers to keep himself hidden he found he could swim in the water and had turned his body into water to hide himself
"they'll be here soon" Riya said waving a hand into the air and making three creatures that looked like stingrays appear they dropped into the water quite close to Andy who could see a strange mark on the back of the creatures it looked like an infinity symbol with a line going from right to left sort of like two closed eyes
Andy concentrated and made an ice spear and smashed it into the creatures each time aiming for the symbol as each one exploded it caught Riya's attention she quickly readied her arrow and aimed for the water wondering if it was a trick or if someone was doing it she then remembered that when she had been fighting Andy last time he could use the ground as a weapon so he could probably use the water as well
Riya fired hoping to hit her mark she knew she would since she aimed for the last creature that was still alive and Andy would just be there and would get hit, and just like she thought when Riya fired the arrow it hit something that was in the water and seconds later Andy appeared quickly jumping out of the water and returned to his normal self
Back with John ad Xana they had out run the creatures and were now at a cross road but they kept going in the same direction instead of stopping looking back Xana saw someone appearing just they ran off he wondered if it was Kelly or Andy had finally appeared but it appeared that the person did not see them and had stopped just before coming into the centre of the crossroad
When they arrived at the tower they had no idea what to do there were two towers to deactivate but they weren't sure if one was real and one was fake "guys both of those towers are active just do it normally Xana go in deactivate one and then the other" Grace said
Xana nodded to John as he ran in and went to deactivate the tower John just sat down waiting to see if there were any monsters but none had made their appearance
"hey Grace any word from Andy" John asked wondering where he was
"none it's strange if he had beaten Riya he would be here and if he lost well Riya would be here" Grace said slightly worried about Andy as well
"I'll go look for him" Kelly said getting to her feet and heading for the lift
"be careful if he lost Riya could be heading this way"
Kelly nodded quickly she wasn't worried Andy was a good fighter on Lyoko and he was probably good outside of Lyoko but Kelly was wrong Andy wasn't a great fighter he had been lucky especially fighting Riya
Andy moved the water hoping to knock Riya over and then destroy her but she continued to dodge or slice the water as he kept attacking Riya took a chance and tried for the offensive and knocked Andy backwards and began to follow up by slashing a sword down at him but as it got close the sword passed right through Andy and disappeared
Riya turned looking in one direction "no I've got to stop them" she said once again using her sword to open a hole but this time she kept Andy from following her by grabbing him and crushing his neck causing him to be sent back to earth which surprised Grace when she saw Andy's marker on the screen appear then disappear just as quickly
Grace called Kelly on her phone telling her to get back to the factory Andy had appeared in Lyoko and had just come out of the scanners Kelly hadn't gone to far and had only been in the sewers for a few minutes and was quickly back inside the factory and into the scanner room helping Andy to the computer room
Back in Lyoko, Xana was about to head into the second tower when Riya appeared out of nowhere and sent him flying "I can't let you deactivate that tower" Riya screamed
Both John and Xana could see something in Riya's eyes it was desperation and fear as if she knew that the tower was connected to her that it being deactivating meant she would be destroyed forever she even appeared to be crying but they couldn't tell if she was or not
Riya quickly charged at Xana trying to making sure Xana could never deactivate the tower but John quickly blocked Riya Xana quickly moved not wanting to end up destroyed and ran toward the tower Riya looked away from John even though they were locked in battle she was focused on the tower Riya concentrated some of her power and threw John backward
Riya moved quickly getting in front of Xana holding her sword in front of her Xana stood still looking back toward John who was lying on the ground "don't do it Xana please" Riya pleaded
"why shouldn't I" Xana asked hoping to stall until John could help
"I don't want to go back there and I wont let any one send me back" Riya said
Xana watched Riya's face as tears began to fall from her eyes Xana couldn't believe it and was almost crying as well
"Xana duck" John shouted as he came flying towards him and Riya, Xana ducked and watched John slam his sword into Riya and smash her into the ground "Xana get to the tower" John shouted
Xana ran quickly into the tower and deactivated it outside the tower Riya watched as the glow of the tower changed from purple to blue Riya dropped to her knees and put her head into her hands as she disappeared
Xana stepped out of the tower still wondering what had happened with Riya and what she had meant she seemed so scared and frightened Xana had stopped slightly before entering the code and deactivating the tower
"hah I'm the winner again" John said stepping out of the elevator referring to the fact that he hadn't been destroyed in Lyoko which just got angry looks from the rest of team
"what happened in Lyoko" Grace asked Xana
"I'm not sure Riya seemed really frantic though she was actually crying" Xana said
"well what ever happened something appeared when you deactivated the tower" Grace said bringing a small panel up on the screen of the computer
All of the team gathered around looking at the screen along with Xana who was looking at it from inside Lyoko
"what is it" John asked
"well it appears to be a way back in time" Grace said but she wasn't sure
"wow are you sure" Kelly said leaning and putting her hand onto the keyboard and pushing a button by accident causing the program to start up
A large white light washed over the team a weird feeling went over everyone as they were sent back to the beginning of the day Grace woke up early like last time and was amazed seeing it was the same day and went to the factory like last time and set the program up promising to Xana that she'd come back later to check on the program and him
Kelly met up with John and Andy earlier than last time Andy asked John to go ahead and get them a table for breakfast at first John didn't understand but he soon did and went ahead to get a table and a better breakfast
"Kelly I just want to say about what I said… last time" Andy said trying to think of the right way to put it
"what about it" Kelly asked
"well I was just wondering what you thought about it" Andy said getting slightly nervous
"well let me answer you the same way I did before" Kelly said pulling Andy slightly closer then giving him a quick kiss on the lips causing both Andy and Kelly to blush
"what are you doing later" Kelly asked as both of them walked to the cafeteria holding hands
Once again the team was in the cafeteria they knew that something was missing the team tried to figure it out and then suddenly remembered what had happened in the morning
"I'm the most popular girl in school so you have to listen to me" someone shouted
It was then that the team turned and saw Julie this time instead of Grace just getting up and going to confront Julie all of the team did it made Julie back off straight away and go off to a small group of people that the team guessed must have been her friends the girl who Julie was picking on told them her name it was Jenny she thanked them then went off to join her friends
The team saw it as a good way for it to turn out after the first time it happened as the day went on a lot of things were different the team managed to sit together Andy and Kelly sat together and were really happy while John sat on the table sat on the table next to them Grace was sitting to the right of Kelly
But in another place that wasn't on Earth or Lyoko Riya was faced with something that scared even her
"you failed again" a voice said
"I tried to stop them and destroy Xana but they stopped me I'm not strong enough"
"your more powerful than them but you just don't fight well enough"
A large energy blast hits Riya from behind making her scream getting back on her feet Riya's eyes began glowing a mix of red and purple "Xana you will be destroyed"
Well that's it for the chapter so several new things came up in this chapter Andy and Kelly are now going out and who is this person Riya was talking to and what was Riya talking about while fighting Xana
Also strange fact for this chapter, part of this chapter was done on a train as I went from London to Manchester as I came back from my trip to London
