Chapter 14: Final Battle Part 2
"We're the only ones here." Dartz said. Three teenagers about Dartz's age appeared from the shadows. There were two boys and a girl.
"I see you got Franz Hopper's message." The first boy said. "Pretty small group to be battling Xana."
"You're one to talk." Aelita said. "There are a lot more of us."
"Hopper just wanted the two of us to meet you." Dartz finished. "We're the original warriors. I'm Dartz. Dartz Dragonblade."
"I'm Aelita Hopper, Franz Hopper's daughter."
"I'm Andrew Burditch." The boy said. "This is my brother, Klaus, and my girlfriend, Emma Torrid."
"Nice to meet the legendary Lyoko Warriors after all this time." Klaus said while shaking Dartz's hand.
"Same here." Dartz replied.
"Now, down to business." Andrew started. "As you know by now, Anax has gotten out of the supercomputer in Japan." Dartz nodded. "He's gone on a global destruction spree and we need your help to take him down. We managed to-"
"Hold on a sec." Dartz said. "We're not alone anymore."
"You can come out now, guys." Aelita said. The other Lyoko warriors came out from behind the many pieces of machinery scattered around the factory.
"Sorry, we just don't like being left out." William said. Dartz shook his head.
"You guys really shouldn't be here." He said.
"It doesn't matter now." Aelita said. "They might as well help now that they know."
"How did Anax get out?" Jeremy asked suddenly.
"Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong." Emma said venomously. Jeremy stepped back.
"Sorry."
"Anax got out when Klaus and I were on a recon mission." Andrew said. "He used some kind of jellyfish thing to hack into the supercomputer and got out."
"The scyphozoa." Lisa said.
"The what?"
"The jellyfish you saw is called the scyphozoa." Dartz explained. "We've had a few encounters with it ourselves."
"Okay… Anyway, so will you help us?" Klaus asked. Dartz nodded.
"Sure." He and Aelita said.
"I'm in too." Sharon said.
"Us too." Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Sam, Duke, and Garrett said.
"No." Andrew said. "Dartz and Aelita are the only ones who have the experience to defeat Anax."
"We're gonna need at least six of the others. Sharon, Duke, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and Sam control the other six elements. We'll need all eight elements if we're gonna beat Anax." Aelita said.
"Come on, Andrew." Klaus said. "The more the better."
"Alright." Andrew said. "But only the other element bearers."
"Why can't we come?!" William asked. "We're just as powerful as them!"
"Calm down, William." Jeremy said. "We're needed here. We'll work on the upgrades Dartz and I have been working on."
"Just be careful, guys." Riou said. "It's up to you to take Anax and Robotnic down."
"You guys be careful, too." Ulrich said. "Xana might come after you while we're gone."
I know the chapter's short, but there's still two or three to go. As usual, one review per chapter.
