How to Save a Life- Part 2

Rose studied the two that were in front of her. The boy was wearing a black and red version of his Lyoko form and the girl's blue sash and tattoos were now red. They looked like William and Lana, but the girl knew for a fact that they were both in the hospital, so it couldn't be really them. But then again, she had a feeling that these weren't two of Xana's polymorphic clones either. So what were they?

Musa lay motionless before them on a hospital bed. IV's stuck out everywhere on her arms. Heart monitors continued to keep a steady beep of her heart. Her skin was pale and the neon blue streaks in her hair weren't helping her complexion right now. She looked so small and fragile surrounded by all those machines.

"Machines!" Rose thought.

"William, he collapsed, I guess like Musa did…"Odd had said.

Rose gasped. As she figured it out. They were Lana and William!

"She's in a coma induced state…"Dr. Myers had said.

"I think I figured it out," the A.I. thought, "Xana is using the hospital machines as some sort of medium to bring the control the two's minds and bring them to Lyoko."

"So I guess these are clones, right," Ulrich said unsheathing his swords as Yumi took out her fans.

"No, wait," Rose said holding out her hands, "They're not clones."

"What do mean not clones?" Yumi asked confused.

"That's really Lana and William; their minds, or at least I think. Xana is controlling them either way" Rose explained.

"So what we do? Make them lose their life points?" Ulrich asked tensing up. William was getting into a fighting position.

"No," the green hair girl said shaking her head. "If we do that there'll be a good chance that they'll wind up brain dead since their on Lyoko but their bodies aren't in the scanner. It'll be like we'll be deleting them."

"Then what do we do?" Yumi asked right before Lana took one step before disappearing and then reappearing right in front of Rose, punching her.

The plant A.I. slid across the floor from the impact of the punch. She stood up slowly reaching for her pouch. "We'll stall," she said before throwing green metal looking leaves at Xana's new minions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aelita finally arrived at the factory, out of breath. She walked into the computer room to find it empty. "Jeremy?" she called out.

"Aelita!" she heard a muffle voice yell. The pink hair girl followed the voice to the next room where she found the noise coming from. A pipe was stopping the door from opening and when she removes it Jeremy came crashing out the door.

"Jeremy! Are you okay?" the girl asked kneeling next to the boy, handing him his glasses that had fallen off.

"Yeah" he nodded taking his glasses.

"How did you get in there?" Aelita asked still sounding worried.

"There's no time Aelita. We need to get you to Lyoko so you can deactivate the tower" the computer whiz said standing up.

"Right," Aelita nodded getting up as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aelita dropped down right next to Rose.

"Aelita! You're here!" Yumi said doing a back flip to doge Lana's Lightning Strike.

"What's going on?" Jeremy yelled, "Rose when did you get here?"

"Um, right after I locked you in that room," the girl said nonchalantly as she used her flower petals to teleport herself out of the way of William's swinging sword.

"YOU WHAT?!?" Jeremy yelled. "Wait is that William?"

"Yeah and Lana," Ulrich said, "It seems like Xana is controlling them and we can't just take away their life points or they're goners."

"WHAT? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" Jeremy asked, more like scream.

"You should have left him in the room," Rose muttered to Aelita as they both muted the boy.

"Have you figured out a way to stop them?" Aelita asked.

The flower A.I. nodded. "Yes, but you'll have to trust me."

"I already do," Aelita smiled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Odd leaned against the wall staring at the two laying before him. They had moved William into Musa's room, the doctor saying something about comparing the two. Odd was slightly disgusted. They were talking about Musa and William as if they were some kind of objects that were put on display. What really irked him was that they sent in interns who kept poking and prodding the two. If Jim and Mr. Delmas hadn't come to check up on the William and Musa Odd would have punched the lights out of one of the guys who kept touching Musa.

"How long does it take to deactivate a tower?" he thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you want me to do?" Aelita asked Rose as they hid behind a corner while Yumi and Ulrich held back William and Lana.

"Okay, I think to get their minds back into their bodies we'll first have to deactivate the tower, and then activate it again connecting it to the hospital."

"So Lana really is-" Aelita began

"She'll tell you herself when she wants you to know, but just keep it to yourself." Rose asked.

"Okay, go on."

"After we connect the tower to the machines in the hospital room where they're at, we'll devirtualize them inside the tower and hopefully they'll be sent back to their bodies," Rose explained.

"What's the percentage that this will work?" Aelita asked.

Rose looked away from the pink hair girl towards William and Lana. "It's a risk. A very dangerous risk. Their could be a chance that Xana has the tower activated so that once it's deactivated William and Lana will be devirtualize. We have to make sure they're in the tower and we have to make sure we synchronize deactivating and activating the tower."

"So we get them in the tower, deactivate it, activate it, and hope it works, right?" Aelita asked.

"Yep," the green hair girl nodded.

"But how are we supposed to get them in the tower? Wont Xana figure out what we're doing?" the pink hair girl asked.

"You forgot, Aelita. Xana isn't the only one who can control monsters. Stay here" Rose grinned before jumping out into the open. Ulrich and Yumi were still preoccupying William and Lana, but Rose could tell that the samurai and the geisha were down to their last life points.

Rose managed to sneak behind William and when she did she pressed the palm of her hand against his back. He looked back at her, Xana's symbol filling his eyes before he was surrounded in a big green sphere. He struggled, trying to break free of the sphere, but then he stopped moving, hovering inside on his back.

"That's one," Rose muttered weakly.

She moved out of the way just in time to miss Lana's Lightning Strike attack, but Yumi and Ulrich weren't so lucky and got sent back to Earth. Rose looked around the area for Lana but she didn't see her anywhere.

"Jeremy, do you see where Lana is?" she asked, taking Jeremy off mute.

"She's right behind you! And don't ever put me on mu-" Rose mutes him before ducking, missing Lana's punch. The plant A.I. swept the feet from under the wolf girl before placing her palm on the girl's chest. Another green sphere formed around her. Lana raised her hand, pressing it against the inside of the shield. It shattered instantly.

"Damn!" Rose cursed taking a step back. It had taken a lot out of her to create William's Guardian and then a second one. She doubted she could create a third one. Lana raised her staff directing it towards Rose. Rose took another step back but managed to trip and fall. She looked up to see Lana about to give her the final blow when the wolf A.I. froze. The red parts in her outfit turned from red to a light pink.

Lana pressed her palm against her self and then she was surrounded by a light pink guardian. She didn't struggle, but simply lay back as she began to float inside.

"That….was weird," Rose said picking herself up. She turned to Aelita who was still hiding. "Come on we have to take these two to the tower."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Odd, why don't you go back to school," Jim suggested. Odd had been at the hospital for most of the day, never leaving Musa's and William's room not even for food.

"No," the boy said stubbornly from his seat in between the two patients' bed.

"Now Mr. Della Robbia," Mr. Delmas said sternly, "If I have to I'll call your parents!"

Odd scoffed crossing his arms. "Have fun getting in contact with either of them. My dad hasn't been heard from in like 6 years and my mom is probably knocked out drunk in some guy's apartment that she met at a club. And you're really going to have a great time calling one of my step dads. Unless money is involved they won't have anything to do with me."

Mr. Delmas got all red in the face as he stumped out of the room. Jim watched him go before he walked over towards Odd and placed a comforting hand on the boy's shoulder. "You know, I don't think she would be happy to see you starving yourself Della Robbia. Come with me to the cafeteria. I promise she's not going anywhere, besides, it's on me."

Odd sighed, taking another look at Musa before standing up. "Okay," he sighed. "That's a good boy," Jim smiled reassuringly as he placed his arm around Odd's shoulder leading him out of the room. Neither of them noticed the smoke coming out of Musa's ear and the smile that slowly began to form on her lips.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you ready, Aelita?" Rose asked. The two girls were in the activated tower. They were each facing an end with Lana and William, unconscious in between them.

"Yes," the pink hair girl said taking a deep breath. Simultaneously they raised their hands up and screens appeared in front of them.

"Okay, 1….2….3…." Rose said.

Aelita….

Code…..Lyoko…..

Before the data that made up the tower had time to fall, Rose quickly put in her information to activate the tower again, going completely by instincts.

Cascada…..

Code….Earth….

From the outside the tower turned from red to a light green. Like expected, Xana did have the tower set that once it was deactivated Lana and William would be materialize back on Earth. The two floated in the air turning into digital dust as they rose until they completely disappeared.

"Did it work?" Aelita asked.

"We'll have to find out," Rose said quietly, hoping it did work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Odd was in the hospital's cafeteria with Jim picking at the food in front of him. It wasn't that the food was bad; it was just that he didn't have an appetite at the moment, but who would when two of their friends were in a coma?

His phone began vibrating in his pocket and he took it out.

"Hello? Jeremy? They did? Okay, I'll check!" Odd said getting excited he jumped from the table ready to run back to the room but Jim held him down.

"Eat first, then you can go." Jim ordered.

"But Jim-"

"EAT!!!"

Odd had always been known to be a speed eater, but this was ridicules. He ate his food plus Jim's in 10 seconds.

"Hey!" Jim yelled when he noticed his food was gone but Odd was already out the cafeteria and running back to the room.

"Please have let it work! Please have let it work!" he thought to himself as he opened the door.

"Odd," William moaned from beneath his air mask as he opened his eyes to see the purple loving boy.

"You're awake!" Odd said smiling. He turned to Musa but nothing had changed. She was still lying motionless. The boy's phone rang. It was Jeremy.

"Did it work?" the computer whiz asked.

"William's awake," Odd said slowly, "but Musa…." He trailed off.

"Oh. I'm sorry Odd. We're on our way to the hospital right now. See ya there."

Odd hung up his phone and took his seat next to Musa's bed, taking her hand. William watched silently as tears silently fell from Odd's eyes and from his own. The blonde tried to wipe them away but they kept coming. "Musa, you have to wake up," he sobbed, "Aelita deactivated the tower so you're suppose to be awake. Please Wake up!" he cried taking her hand in both of his and pressing it against her cheek. "Please."

"E-e-e-egen," a strained voice said. Both boys looked up to see Musa awake. She still looked a little daze but she was looking at Odd.

Odd smiled trying to wipe his tears away. "Yep, it's me, Egen," he grinned.

The girl smile before yawning and then she was asleep again, but Odd didn't worry. He knew she was okay now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy stood in front of an occupied scanner.

"I can't believe she's going to show us who she is!" Aelita grinned happily.

"Who do you think she is?" Jeremy asked.

"I don't know, but I think I have an idea of who Lana is," Ulrich smirked.

"Yeah, me too," Yumi nodded.

"Me three," Aelita nodded.

"Who?" Jeremy asked.

"You mean you haven't noticed?" Ulrich asked.

"It was kind of obvious, now that I think about it" Aelita said.

"Tell me!" Jeremy pleaded, but just as the others were about to answer him. The scanners opened revealing the true identity of Rose.

"Hey," Cascada waved leaning against the inside of the scanner weakly, "I'm Rose and you're not going to remember seeing me," she grinned pointing her finger at them before four sparks of electricity came from it, stunning them, and erasing any clues about the true identities of Rose and Lana.

Man, I'm so tired! It's late and I'm suppose to be asleep. Anyway, like I promise here the new update.
