Xi virtualized above the ground and landed on his feet. Ulrich's character landed next to him, and Xi reached for his swords, which were gone. His entire outfit was gone. He was wearing what he did before he was scanned. Xana however was in Ulrich's costume, still playing his role.
" I had all your powers stripped before you were connected to the system. You have all your human abilities in lyoko now, no superpowers, no weapons, no hope. And now we wait." Xana said with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
" Wait for what?" Xi asked, standing ready for anything.
" That." Xi turned around and was wrapped by the tentacles of the scyphozoa. He was lifted into the air as his eyes turned red and his memory began to drain. Xana stood watching with a smile. In a few minutes his plan would be underway. Xi struggled to free himself before his memory began to be drained.
" Anytime time now." Then to his surprise the scyphozoa dropped Xi on the ground who turned to look at xana with a smile. " What is wrong?" Xana shouted before the scyphozoa exploded. Xana knew something left Xi, he felt the upload, but it wasn't his information. Then he heard a voice.
" Hello xana," said the voice very politely. Xana did a three sixty scan of his area looking for the source of the voice.
" Who said that," xana asked, standing ready.
" You know who it is. Think about it, hear my voice." Xana focused and realized who it was.
" Where are you old man, come out Francis."
" I'm not hiding. I'm in you."
" What?" Xana asked, not thinking that possible.
" Oh yes. I've been waiting for this day for far to long. I was in Xi. Awhile back I imprinted myself onto Xi. You just uploaded me into your central server, giving me complete control of you and whatever you control." Xi looked behind him as a tower changed from red to white. He had been to told what white meant, Franz Hopper. " Which includes lyoko. You fell right into my trap. Well played Xi."
" You old fool, I split my data. I still have control," he answered, before punching himself in the face. " How did you.." he punched himself again.
" Game over xana." At that moment every tower in lyoko lit white and Franz Hopper took complete control. " If any part of your data is in lyoko, it is attached to every part of you. I have lyoko, thus I have you." Xana didn't say anything, he couldn't. Xi watched as xana body began to mold again. When it finished, standing there was a man. He was wearing dark glasses and had a beard and mustache that circled his mouth. He was short and not fat but plump. He stood with great posture with a astute look about every aspect of him. Standing ten feet away from Xi was Franz Hopper.
" Thank you Xi."
Xi stood up finally and walked over to him. " Did that just actually work?" Franz nodded with a smile. " Can you come back now?" He asked looking at him. Franz nodded with a smile.
" I have enough of my information to materialize myself. See you in a few." Xi was about to ask what he meant before he materialized. Opening his eyes he stepped out of the scanner. The clone was on the ground, out cold. Franz had shut them down. Yumi looked at Xi as he stepped out.
" Is it you?" she asked, thinking it could be xana. Xi nodded and turned around as another scanner turned on. A minute later Franz Hopper stepped out. At first he was tired. The light was bright to him, his muscles were weak. Franz took a deep breathe, breathing for the first time in forty years.
" Put him in the scanner, we're ending this now," Franz said pointing at the clone. Xi threw the clone into the scanner, then the one from upstairs. Next Franz stepped back in and told Xi to try to wake Jeremie. It took a moment but Xi shook Jeremie awake and he began to separate xana's information and put it into a file. They put Ulrich in the scanner and uploaded into him what xana took away. He remembered everything xana did as him. Xana's memories were added and Ulrich couldn't stop looking at Yumi for obvious reasons.
It was the moment of truth. Jeremie was sitting in the chair with Franz Hopper sitting directly behind him. Yumi was being held up by Ulrich, with Odd and Aelita next the armrests. Jeremie had selected a file from the computer. The file was titled, ' xana,' and he held his finger over the delete button. They all had dreamed of this moment several times.
" Who wants to press the button?" Jeremie asked everyone.
" All yours Einstein," Odd answered.
" I think Xi should," said Franz. Xi was in the corner, lining up the victims from the fight. His sister, Emilie, Aelita, Odd jr, and Angela. Why did she come back, Xi kept asking himself. He didn't take her body out from the elevator, it was too mangled to move properly.
" Xi care to do the honors?" Franz asked as everybody turned to Xi. To their shock he shook his head.
" This was really your fight not mine. I think it's fair the ones who started this, finish it." The group nodded and Aelita who couldn't take it anymore pressed the button. Xana was gone. Xi smiled and looked down at the bodies. The last two people were the Emilies. They were both still there. He had felt for a pulse and felt none. Then Xi realized something. If the forty year old Emilie was still here, that meant only one thing. Emilie was alive! Xi felt for her pulse again. Instead he got a cough of blood that hit him in the face.
Emilie opened her eyes and began to cry and scream in agony. " It hurts! I can't breathe, help me!" The others looked over quickly and saw that Emilie was still alive.
" Run a return now!" Xi shouted at Jeremie who didn't waste any time. " Hurry! Emilie your going to be alright, just hang on for a second longer."
" Return to the past now."
