Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko or Break Away by the Subdigitals. Blah, blah, blah. I only own Musa, Cascada, and this story's plot. Blah, blah, blah.

The Show Must Go On

"Are you almost done?" Musa asked impatiently.

"Hold on," Cascada replied going through files on the tower's screen. "Xana's trying to make it hard for me to activate all the remaining towers. We can't do this without all of them."

"Yeah," Musa nodded rocking on the heels of her feet.

Cascada grinned sadly. "Mother is yelling at me. She saying what we're about to do is stupid and reckless."

Musa shrugged. "I think the old man is doing the same. I don't know, I kind of learned to tune him out awhile ago," she sighed before biting her lip. "Do you think Odd, William nii-san, Aelita-chan, and the others will be mad at us for doing this without telling them?"

"There wasn't anytime to tell them," Cascada said hesitatingly.

"There were plenty of times we could have told them," the wolf A.I. whispered. "We knew about this from the beginning. That in order to save Lyoko and stop Xana we might have to…"

"Just say it, Musa," Cascada said closing out from the file. "We're basically committing suicide. And though you and I both hate to admit it…this is what we were created for. Whether Hopper stayed with the government working on the original experiment or whether we managed to destroy the government's program we would be stuck with the same fate as this."

"I thought you thought fate and all that other stuff was basically a load of bull," Musa retorted.

"Well this isn't exactly fate. It's science! The numbers add up!" Cascada sighed. "You knew this would happen when the towers influenced Aelita to put in the Moon and Sun codes."

"Yeah but I was hopping that doing that would have been a last resort just in case we ever needed to access the full power of the towers," the wolf A.I. mumbled sadly.

"Well, here we are. Our last resort," the plant A.I. sighed.

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

Emma bit her lip worriedly. The Subdigitals had gone through their songs much faster then she thought they would and she had run out of ideas to stall for time. It also didn't help that security was called because of some minor…mishaps that she had caused.

"I guess it's all up to them now," she thought as the band finished another of their songs.

Chris looked to the side stage at Ken hoping but for good news on the kids, but the older Della Robbia nodded his head sadly. The drummer sighed before looking at Nico, who was playing guitar, to go on with their last song.

"Okay, guys. You've been a great audience. We have one more song before you guys go home," Nico said. "I'm pretty sure you all know this one," he said before the crowd erupted into cheers. "Yeah, I knew you would but for those who don't, this is Break Away."

Nico turned around nodding at Ben, who nodded back, and then Chris who looked one more time at backstage before nodding. Nico turned around before they all began playing there most well known song.

They, told me that I was
No good at all, such a waster.
And, suddenly I was left
Out of the cool.
Stuck with the fools.

Not, that much I can do
I'm out of the crew.
I hear the lights go out.
What should I do?
So stuck to this chain
And yet I know.

Gotta breakaway!
This is not my style.
I gotta get away.
Here and now today.

The Lyoko gang stood between the Kolossus and the tower, the force able to stop the large creature from running everything. "Jeremy," Aelita said, "We'll need-"

"Already on it," the computer whiz said cutting her off as the over wing and hover board appeared before them.

"Ulrich," Odd said, "you and Yumi attack the head. Aelita, William, and I will attack its sword."

"Okay," everyone nodded. Ulrich hopped on the over wing with Yumi and William did the same with Odd on the overboard. Aelita waved a hand over her star bracelet calling out her wings.

"Hope you like roller coasters!" Odd grinned back at William before taking off, doing several loops in order to avoid being stepped on by the monster.

Out in Half
I'm already there.
In my head I know if
I take more steps
It brings me to the door.
Open up I'm falling!
One of those days
When the lights go out
And yet I smile.

"There," Cascada grinned satisfied. "All towers are activated under our control. All we have to do is enter the final code and then it's all over."

"Over for you maybe," a voice growled as the two girls spun around to come face to face with a distorted, smoked like version of Leon in a long black cloak, Xana's symbol on the back of it, the boy's head, hands, and eyes. "But as for me, the fun is only just starting."

"I beg to differ," Cascada replied tonelessly as her lotus blades appeared in her hands; Musa's guitar appeared in hers.

"I won't let you do this," Xana snarled.

"Too bad, Xanny," Musa chuckled, "you don't have a choice."

"Why you little-"

"You must be really desperate, Xana, if you came here yourself," Cascada chuckled. "What? Don't trust your monsters with getting rid of us?"

"That's enough!" the boy yelled as red electricity appeared around his clenched fists.

"Oh my, sis! I think we got him angry," the plant A.I. said in mock shock.

"Guess we have to put him in time out," the wolf A.I. said spinning her staff before pointing it at the evil A.I. "Read to play, big bro?"

Gotta Get Away!
Life's like that
And I gotta get away!
Get away!
Here and now today.
Gotta break away!
Breakaway, breakaway!
Gotta get away!
Here and now today.

Yumi groaned as the Kolossus swung its large hand at her. She couldn't maneuver out of the way quick enough and the over wing disappeared under Ulrich and hers feet. The samurai stuck one of his swords into the large lava creature but the geisha's hand slipped from his reach and he watched as she was sent back to Earth.

The brunette grunted as he used his swords to move his way up the monster. Meanwhile, Aelita flew around the creature's head, her attacks having little to no effect on the creature.

"Why aren't my attacks working?" she asked landing back on the ground.

"I think only physical attacks weaken it," Jeremy answered.

"But how am I-" the pink hair girl was cut off as the monster caught her off guard, stepping on her.

"Ouch," William winced as Odd steered the board towards the monsters sword like hand.

"Take over," Odd ordered as he aimed at the Xana target. "Laser Arrow!" The monster temporarily froze.

"Hurry up guys!" Jeremy said, "You only temporarily stopped it!"

"Understood," Ulrich said as he made his way up to the creatures face. He raised his sword about to strike when a laser hit him, causing him to loose his balance and fall off the giant's shoulder.

"Ulrich!" Odd called out as he watched his friend fall before turning into digital pixels.

"Pay attention!" William said as he pointed towards three mantas that were heading their way.

"Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?" Jeremy asked.

"I'll get these guys," Odd said pointing to the flying monsters. "I'll set you down on the big guy before he unthaws."

"Okay," William nodded as the younger boy flew him to the Kolossus's shoulder. Odd turned around to face the oncoming mantas.

"Now which one of you wants your wings clipped?" he asked.

Here I am
As I said
I can feel you
Think "Such a waster."

It's okay I don't care
Didn't really want to stick with the fools.
Skating down Park Avenue
I realize my time is now and here.
Being sensible Ready to go

Being sensible,
Is just not sensible!

Musa dropped down, kick sweeping Xana's feet from under him, but the evil A.I. was ready and merely back flipped out of the way. Cascada threw one of her lotus blades at him but before it could even hit him, he stopped it in mid air before sending it back to her. The plant A.I. just barely bent backwards from having her head cut off. Unfortunately, she bent back so far she fell back off the side of the tower's small platform.

"Is this really all you two have?" Xana asked. "I was expecting more of a challenge."

"Really?" Musa asked, "I thought we were only just starting! Guitar Riff!"

Xana prepared for the wolf A.I. to appear somewhere else but was puzzled when she hadn't moved from the spot where she just was.

"Seems you are out of practiced," he mocked.

"Maybe you are," Cascada whispered behind him before he felt a palm pressed against his back. Musa stood before him and pressed a palm against his chest, her glowing neon blue eyes staring into his.

"Game over," she said before a clear sphere surrounded the evil A.I.

Gotta breakaway!
This is not my style
And I gotta get away!
Here and now today.

"Ride 'em cowboy!" Odd yelled as his claws dug into the back of one of the mantas, his hover board destroyed long ago. With one hand still clinging onto the back of his temporary ride he aimed the other at the other remaining manta that was trying to get rid of William. "Laser Arrow!"

The manta imploded as the arrow hit its target. "Good job, Odd" Jeremy congratulated.

William clenched his teeth. He really didn't know what he had gotten himself into when he agreed to this. He dug his hands into the crevices of the monster trying to keep him from falling, but it wasn't an easy task when the giant took such large jarring steps. He summoned his sword, preparing to place it in the monster's Xana shaped eye when he lost his balance.

"William!" Odd called out trying to get the manta to steer towards that direction but it was being extremely stubborn at the moment. Fortunately, the older boy managed to catch himself. Unfortunately, his sword slipped from his grasp, tumbling into the digital sea.

"Odd!" William called, "You'll need to get rid of it!"

"How?" the cat boy asked. "It's not like this manta is a magic carpet that will take me where I want to go." Dunbar scrunched his brow. There had to be something…the boy gasped. Any powers that he had when he was possessed he should be able to have now right?

"Odd, I'm going to try something," he said before raising his hand, closing his eyes in concentration. Smoke, slightly lighter then black, seeped out from his hand, winding its way towards the manta and the cat boy before it formed reign like attachments for the flying monster.

"Thanks!" Odd grinned as he directed the manta with the reigns towards the Kolossus. The giant monster seemed to realize what he was doing and swung it large arms at the boy, not caring whether or not it destroyed one of its own.

Della Robbia was aiming when he felt the manta disappear from under him before he began to fall. "Last chance," he thought firing his arrow before he hit the ground, returning back to Earth.

At first, William thought the boy had missed, that was until the Kolossus froze before falling forward. The teen held on as the monster feel before he turned into digital pixels.

Gotta breakaway!
Life's like that
And I gotta get away.
Get away!
We'll win it all the way!

Musa turned her guitar back into a staff extending it out towards her side. "Are you ready?" she asked Cascada.

The plant A.I.'s eyes never left the cold chilling ones before her. She reached out, holding onto the other end of the staff, her hand briefly brushing against her sister's. "Yes," she nodded.

They both rose whichever hand wasn't holding onto the staff, palm facing the sphere shaped prison that their once comrade was placed in. "You can't do this! You'll kill yourselves! And for what? These pathetic humans?" he sneered.

The two ignored him as all three began to float towards the top of the tower, an aura of white light surrounding them.

A screen appeared below them, seemingly entering the codes in its self.

Musa…

Cascada…

Code…

Gotta Get Away!
It's not my style
And I gotta get away.
Here and now today!

"What's this?" Jeremy asked as files began to pop on his screen like crazy. He couldn't really read them all because as soon as one popped up another one did two.

"What is it?" Aelita asked looking over his shoulder.

"I don't know," the boy said trying to read the programming. "Total system…sweep…virus protection…reboot…total erase…digital code exchange…Oh no!"

"What is it?" Yumi asked.

"No, no, no, no, no!" the computer whiz repeated to himself urgently typing at his computer.

"Aelita?" Ulrich asked looking towards the pinkette for some sort of answer. The girl squinted over the computer whiz's shoulders before her eyes widened her hand flying up to her mouth as she gasped.

"Princess?" Odd asked

"What's the matter?" William asked.

"T-they're, they're…" the girl trailed off as tears ran down her face.

"T-to, to put it simply," Jeremy sighed facing them, looking anywhere but at Odd and William. He bit his lip taking off his glasses as he wiped a few stray tears away. "To put it simply, they're performing a suicidal attack against Xana in order to get rid of him and bring Hopper and…Aelita's mother back."

"They can't just die!" Odd yelled.

"Isn't there something you can do?" William asked.

"Don't you think I would if I could?" the computer whiz asked. "I'm sorry guys, but…they're gone."

Gotta breakaway!
Life's like that
And I gotta get away.
Get away!

We'll win it all the way!

Code…Twilight…

Light erupted from the tower, sending all of Lyoko into a wave of white light, erasing all that Xana had tainted. Tremendous booms were heard from the digital sea as all of Xana's replicas exploded. As the wave diminished all that was left was a purified sector. Just one. It was a combination of all the sectors, new and old, each perfectly blending together with the blazing digital sun in the northern sky and the pale moon in the southern. Equal balance. A perfect twilight. Well, almost…

"I think, this place is missing something," dark eyes mused to themselves as they lay upon two sleeping figures nearby in the grass, right on the border of night and day.

Two pairs of sleepy eyes opened before resting on the person before resting on the person before them.

"Onii-san," Musa whispered in shock.

"Leon," Cascada murmured as they stared at the dark hair boy they had thought was forever lost…


Man, I feel so sleep deprived right now it's not even funny. Anyway, just to balance this story out, next chapter will definently be the last. Anywho, yeah, hopefully I'll get the last part out by this weekend but my procrastination has been catching up with me and to put it simply...I'm pretty much screwed.

Anyway, it was snowing all day yesterday and today. I was hoping for a snow day but since I go to a public school they were like all of the schools are closed except for public schools. Makes me wish that I had went to a private school. Wait, no, I like my school, I just hate walking through eight inches of snow. But it was worth it. I got to sit on the train with this guy I really like, so I'm all good.

So for those of you who don't know, Break Away is the song that they play during the credicts of Code Lyoko. They played it a few times throughout the course of the show but it really wasn't until this year that there were actually words to it so yeah. If the lyrics don't go exactly with the song it's because of one of two reasons: 1.) the only lyrics I could find were in French so of course there will be some word differance and 2.) though I tried to listen to the song while writing it I'm completely tired so yeah, have pity on me.

Anyway, nothing more to say so if you want your name to appear in the big thank you list for the last Code Moon chapter...PLEASE REVIEW!
