Chapter 11: Overcoming the Darkness Part 1
Wow, only 3 reviews for the last chapter? Shame. I expected more. Anyway, this is the first part of the last chapter of An Odd Darkness. Yeah, I know. I'm upset that this story is gonna end, too. Especially since it's so popular. Anyway, time to start.
Disclaimer: This show is not mine, I don't own Code Lyoko.
"Jeremy, what are we going to do about Odd?" Aelita asked, "We can't leave him on Lyoko all by himself."
"I know," Jeremy said, "But Odd said he's not coming back to Earth until he figures out a way to beat Xana's power. Even if I materialize him back on Earth, he'll just go back to Lyoko. Just face it, we can't stop him from doing this."
"We need to help him," Yumi said, "We can't let him do this alone."
"No," Jeremy said, "We can't."
"What do you mean we can't?" Ulrich asked.
"Because he needs to know how to do this on his own," Jeremy said, "Besides, remember the last time you guys confronted him?"
Flashback
"What I mean is," Odd's voice turned demonic and his eyes turned red with the Xana symbol in them. His hair turned black with the purple spot turned to even a darker purple and his outfit changed into black and dark purple. He was surrounded by a black aura, "Is that they can't help me with this."
End flashback
"Odd was under the control of Xana's power," Ulrich said.
"Yes," Jeremy said.
"But still, we can't leave him alone like that," Aelita said.
"Aelita, I know you're worried about him," Jeremy said, "But you have to trust me. This is the only way we can help him for now."
"Okay," Aelita reluctantly nodded.
"Besides, we know Odd," Ulrich said, "If anyone can figure this out, it's him."
"I know," Aelita said, "I'm just worried about him."
"Yeah, I know," Yumi said, "I'm worried about him, too. But the only way we can help him now is to let him figure this out on his own."
"Okay," Aelita said, "You're right. I might not like it, but this is the only way we can help him right now."
"Thanks for understanding, Aelita," Yumi smiled.
"But there is something else I'm worried about," Ulrich said.
"What is it?" Yumi said.
"What if Xana decides to launch an attack?" Ulrich asked, "If he attacks here, one of us is going to have stay here. And if Xana attacks on Lyoko, the target could be Odd."
"You're right," Jeremy said, "But so far Xana didn't make a move here or on Lyoko. We have nothing worry about for right now."
"I hope you're right, Einstein." Ulrich said.
Just then, the computer started beeping.
"Unfortunely, Xana just loves proving me wrong," Jeremy said, "We have an activated tower in the Ice sector."
"But that's where Odd is." Aelita said.
"Don't worry," Jeremy said, "Nothing's happening on Lyoko so far. But still, we can't be too sure."
"I'll stay here," Ulrich said, "You guys go ahead to the factory. If something happens here I'll let you know."
"Thanks, Ulrich," Jeremy said, "Let's go to the factory now."
Everyone nodded and ran to the factory. After they made it to the factory, Jeremy transferred them to the Ice Sector.
"The activated tower is not far," Jeremy said, "Better hurry, though. Ulrich said that nothing's happened yet, but it's better safe than sorry."
The Overwing appeared and Yumi and Aelita hopped on and started to head towards the tower.
"Guys, there are a lot of monsters at the tower," Jeremy said, "Four Blocks, four Hornets, and four Tarantulas."
"Uh oh," Yumi said, "That's not good."
"Not only that," Jeremy said, "Odd's over there right now."
"Oh no," Aelita said, "We got to help him."
Odd was dodging laser assaults from the monsters. He fired an arrow and destroyed a Tarantula, but got hit by a Hornet.
"This isn't good," Odd said, before he dodged another assault.
Aelita and Yumi had just arrived to see the fight.
"There he is," Yumi said.
"Let's go help," Aelita said.
Odd was about to get hit by a Tarantula, but an Energy Field stopped it in its tracks.
"Odd," A voice called and he turned to see Aelita and Yumi hovering above him.
"About time," Odd said, before getting hit by another Tarantula.
"Odd!" Aelita cried.
"50 life points left, Odd." Jeremy said.
"Thanks for the reminder," Odd said sarcastically.
"What are you doing here, Odd?" Yumi said as she blocked a laser with her fan.
"Well, you know," Odd said as he dodged a Laser attack, "I saw the activated tower and decided to check it out."
"But you know it's dangerous to fight in your condition," Yumi said as she hit a hornet with her fan.
"Well, it was never my intention to get caught." Odd said as he destroyed a block.
The battle was at a standstill so far, until Xana decides to send two Megatanks as back up.
"This isn't good," Odd said as Yumi got devirtualized by the megatanks.
"What are we going to do now, Odd?" Aelita asked.
"I wish I knew," Odd said.
"It should be obvious, should it?" A voice said, before Odd's world goes black and Dark Odd appeared behind him, "Why don't you just use my power."
Odd moved away from him and faced him, "I won't use your power," He said.
"You are a fool," Dark Odd said, "Have you forgotten what will happen when Xana wins?"
"He takes over the world, of course," Odd said.
"Oh, he'll do more than that, Odd," Dark Odd said.
"What do you mean by that?" Odd asked..
"Allow me to show you," Dark Odd snapped his fingers, and in a dark purple flash, Odd saw that everything was on fire, monsters were running around, causing chaos, and the sky was blood red.
"Wha...What is this?" Odd said.
"This is what will happens if Xana wins," Dark Odd said, "And all because you were so weak."
Odd saw a little girl running away from a bunch a monster, "Stop it!" He said.
The girl tripped and fell as the monsters started to close in on her.
"I've seen enough!" Odd shouted.
The monsters started firing at the girl.
"STOP!" Odd screamed.
In Lyoko, Odd let out a crazy, angry scream, scaring Aelita.
"Odd?" Aelita asked.
Odd wails angrily as black energy begins to flare from his body.
"Oh no!" Aelita said.
"Not good," Jeremy said, "Not good!"
"What's wrong?" Yumi said as she walked in the lab.
"It's happening again!" Jeremy said and Yumi said.
Odd lets out a crazed wail as he turns into his dark form.
"This can't be," Yumi said and Jeremy shook his head.
Odd let out crazed shrieks as the black energy forms a black dragon that roared at the monsters.
