Chapter 48 Nobody in particular
Yumi moaned as she woke up on Sean's chest making her smile and kissed where his heart was.
"Morning." Sean said holding her close making her smile at him. Suddenly Sean's phone went off making them sigh. "Yeah?" Sean said and sighed in annoyance. "Fine we'll be right there." Sean said ending the call.
"Jeramy?" Yumi asked making him nod.
"Come on we can do this after school." Sean said making her grumble but smiled as he kissed her neck.
Later at the lunch room
"I finally found a way to transfer you directly to sector 5 without using the sphere." Jeramy said.
"Bout time." Ulrich said making Sean elbow him.
"But I need one of you to test it just to be sure." Jeramy said.
"Heres how we decide." Odd said holding straws.
"Whatever." Sean said as they all picked one and Sean got the shortest. "Fuck." Sean said making them all laugh. Sean reached into his shirt and pulled off his dog tags. "Here incase I don't make it back." Sean said throwing them to Odd.
"What thanks but these belong with her since you both are so close." Odd said making Yumi smile as she held them.
Later tonight
The lyoko Gang minus Sean arrived in sector five the usual way.
"Ok Jeramy we're here send him in." Yumi said.
"I hope this works." Talia said.
"Have faith now." Emily said.
"Ok Sean ready?" Jeramy asked.
"Just get it over with man." Sean said as he was sent.
The others waited and he didn't show up.
"Uh well?" Ulrich asked.
"Where is he did he take the Local instead of express?" Odd asked.
"He should have appeared right next to you." Jeramy said.
"Maybe he was sent to the wrong place." Aelita said.
"Ok I'll do a search but I cant see how." Jeramy said in concern. "Oh no impossible." Jeramy said in alarm.
"What? Whats the matter?" Yumi asked worried.
"He doesn't even show up on the screens anymore." Jeramy said.
"You want us to look around and see if we can find him?" Aelita asked.
"And have XANA pull a dirty one on us no thanks I'll do a search from here I'm bringing you back." Jeramy said.
Minutes later
"Nothing in the mountain sector nothing in the arena nothing in the core of lyoko and not a trace in sector 5 either." Jeramy said.
"What are you saying?" Yumi asked fearing the answer.
"Sean has...Disappeared. I don't know what to do." Jeramy said. They soon head outside the factory. "I don't get this I just don't know what could have went wrong. I'll still search from my room he's got to be there somewhere." Jeramy said.
"Go on you can try." Yumi said before snapping. "But the truth is you messed up big time and Sean might be lost forever!" Yumi yelled shocking him before she ran off.
Yumi just ran into the room at the mansion and just crashed on the bed crying her eyes before she heard a jingle sound and reached into her pockets and pulled out Sean's dog tags. She just looked them before crying more as she curled into a ball and fell asleep holding his dog tags close to her heart.
Next morning
Jeramy was in his room still looking when he found something and gasped.
"There you are." Jeramy said calling Yumi. Yumi was still crying her eyes out when she woke when she heard her phone and answered it.
"Yes Jeramy?" Yumi asked.
"I found him he is in sector five." Jeramy said making her eyes widen and smiled as the bolted up.
"Well then bring him back." Yumi said.
"Its not that simple he's there but for some reason he's not responded I'm getting the others head to the factory so we can figure this out." Jeramy said. Yumi literally just bolted out the house with a happy smile on her face.
Mintes later
"Sean can hear me? Sean?" Jeramy tried calling to him but he didn't answer.
"What gives is he sulking or something?" Odd said.
"No something weird is going on. I'm sending you guys to sector five to find him." Jeramy said.
The lyoko warriors soon made it to sector five.
"Ok he should be north of your position and good news is the countdown seems to be disabled for the time being." Jeramy said.
"Lets go." Ulrich said as they rushed off to find Sean.
"Sean if you can hear me the others are heading right for you." Jeramy said.
"Jeramy we don't see him." Priscilla said.
"He should be right in front of you." Jeramy said. "Wait hang on." Jeramy said typing on his computer. "Hmm thats strange." Jeramy said.
"What?" Yumi asked.
"Well he's moving now but he still wont respond." Jeramy said.
"Hey there he is." Ulrich said pointing up and saw him walked above them and for some odd reason he was in his old Commando gear with a Bandana over his head and another over his mouth. (Picture the same bandana Marcus has in gears of war)
"Sean!" Yumi called out but he didn't stop.
"Hey what gives is he mad at us or something?" Ulrich asked.
"I don't think thats it. Try to get his attention." Jeramy said.
"Ok but he better not hate me for this." Odd said shooting an arrow at his leg and hit him making him grunt and growl in anger.
"ODD!" Yumi yelled annoyed.
"What? What else was I supposed to..." Was as far as Odd got before Sean jumped down in front of them and they gasped when they saw XANA's symbol in his eyes.
"Uh oh." Ulrich said.
"Jeramy XANA has taken control of him." Aelita said in alarm.
"So thats why he wouldn't respond. Listen you have to take him down it might be the only way to free him from XANA's control." Jeramy said.
"Are you kidding me with all those powers?" Sam asked in disbelief before Sean started yelling in pain as he held his head and the XANA symbol started fading before it stayed.
"I think Sean is trying to fight him as best he can." Jeramy said typing on the computer. "Try to hold him back as long as you can I think I have an idea." Jeramy said.
"No promises here." Emily said as she and Ulrich charged at him trying to hit him with their blades but Sean caught them both by the neck and snapped them just as fast.
"We're screwed." Priscilla said.
"Oh thats not fair." Emily said annoyed as she and Ulrich exited the scanners.
Sean charged at Odd and Sam and sliced Odd's throat and then kicked Sam away before shooting her in the face.
"You got to be kidding me how are we supposed to take him down like this?" Talia asked firing her weapons at him and he kept dodging.
"I don't know but try whatever you can." Jeramy said before he lost visual of sector five. "Oh great now I cant see or help them now." Jeramy said in alarm as he tried to get everything back up.
Sean smashed Talia into a wall and then grabbed Priscilla's sword and stabbed her with it then shot Aelita in the face.
"SEAN STOP!" Yumi yelled hugging him from behind making him growl and shoved her into a wall and had a knife at her neck. "Please don't let XANA control you. You made me a promise you'd never hurt me or leave me and the others don't let him win." Yumi said in tears making him growl about to cut her throat when he stopped and looked her deep in the eyes and suddenly he widen his eyes and with struggling movements brought the knife to his own throat and with a vicious defiant roar he slit it losing all his life points.
Sean suddenly fell out of the scanner as did Yumi when Jeramy brought her back and he coughed a little.
"Oh what the fuck happened?" Sean asked as Yumi pulled his head to her chest.
"Shhh its ok." Yumi said calming him down as he stabilized his breathing.
Later
"So what exactly happened I don't remember a thing other then Yumi screaming my name." Sean said rubbing his head as they all were in the living room.
"I don't know I made sure everything was perfect but somehow XANA messed it up and took control of you." Jeramy said.
"Or maybe you messed up on something." Odd said.
"He's got a point you have messed up a few times." Sean said.
"Name three." Jeramy said.
"The Antivirus that wouldn't let Aelita into the towers the blobs that attacked us all and XANA had to help us and materializing the hair that nearly screwed up her code to the towers." Sean said making Jeramy sulk while the others laughed.
"Fine I get it. I'll go back and try to fix it so this doesn't happen again." Jeramy said.
"By the way why were you in you old Commando armor?" Yumi asked.
"I have no idea." Sean said.
"Well I think it was a better look then your regular armor." Odd said.
"Is that why you shot me in the leg?" Sean asked making him pale slightly while the others laughed. "I prefer my regular armor anyway." Sean said resting in the recliner.
