Chapter 3 The New Threat

A.N. – Welcome back. This chapter focuses on the arrival of Anti-Xana. The Lyoko Warriors will encounter him for the first time as the first attack will be launched on Lyoko. Can they find out and stop this new threat? Find out!

Josh Xana – The warriors after this chapter won't know that Tyron created this virus. In a future chapter Tyron will reveal himself to the Lyoko Warriors.

Short Summary: Aelita concerned with the uneasy feeling convinces Jeremy and the others to turn the supercomputer back on for a little bit to find out if Xana really is back. Within a minute of it being back on a tower activates. The signal is not coming from Xana though. The Warriors head to Lyoko to disable the tower and stop this new threat from planning whatever he is planning.

Disclaimer- I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show.

The Next Morning at breakfast

Aelita has never slept as poorly as she did last night. Feeling that something is not right she heads to breakfast and tries to make sense of why she feels this way.

"Another year, another step closer to graduation" Ulrich states.

"Yeah, I am surprised at the improvement you and Odd have made" Jeremy says surprised.

"Well if we all want to graduate at the same time we have to crack down. Also with the disappearance of Tyron and Xana we don't have our secret lives anymore so we have a lot of free time."

"Yeah, we will all walk together, except for Yumi. She is not going to get held back just so we can walk as a group."

"Neither is William."

"Two group members down at the end of the year. That will be rough."

"Say Ulrich are going to Yumi's graduation ceremony?" Odd asks.

"Yeah, but just to make sure William doesn't try to steal her. He is still trying those moves of his" Ulrich says with a little of anger.

"Are you sure it's not for Yumi?"

"One more question about it or I will deck you, got it!"

"Okay, chill! I was just curious. What is the status of you two anyway?"

"Unsure. One day I want to tell her and the next I don't feel like it. I guess just complicated."

"You have to tell her at some point Ulrich. One more year for you to do it. If you don't she will find someone else as soon as she walks out that door because you were too scared to say anything" Jeremy states.

Through this whole conversation they all notice Aelita is silent with a concerned look on her face with her eyes closed. "Aelita, are you feeling alright?" Jeremy asks.

"No, not really. I didn't sleep well last night and I feel really uneasy today for some reason" Aelita says.

"Nervous about the next year" Ulrich asks.

"No, I think it's something more deeper." Just then Aelita thought of something. "Jeremy, after lunch could we go back to the factory and turn back on the supercomputer?"

"Why Aelita? I know Xana is not fully gone but that is no reason to reactivate him again" Jeremy says.

"Because I feel that maybe Xana is back. Maybe Tyron restarted his supercomputer."

"Impossible. The virus reached the core of Tyron's supercomputer so if he did restart it, it would instantly be destroyed. Our lives of being Lyoko Warriors is over."

"What if Tyron rebuilt it? What if he has a brand new supercomputer with a brand new Cortex and Xana is waiting for a chance to strike? We can't take that risk, not again."

"Okay, we will check for only a minute then we shut it down if nothing shows up. Don't want to welcome Xana back with open arms. Guys, inform Yumi we are meeting in the park after lunch."

"What about William? Are we bringing him along?"

"No, I don't want him to act up in case we shut down Xana again. We only bring him if necessary."

Passage in the Park entrance

All of the group, minus William, all met at the sewer entrance in the park.

"Are you sure of this? I though we were done with Xana for good?" Yumi stated.

"Maybe we still are. Let's go and check it out, just to convince Aelita" Jeremy says. And with that the group all went to the factory.

At the factory

The group descended down to the supercalculator room. As the elevator opened the looked upon the giant computer.

"Here we go" Jeremy said. Jeremy pulled the lever and the supercomputer started back up.

In the Lab

"I'm launching the superscan. We will find out if Xana is back within a heartbeat" Jeremy said activating the superscan.

The superscan launched and found no evidence of Xana. "No sign of Xana. Maybe you just are nervous Aelita" Jeremy said. Suddenly an alarm can on. "What's this!?" A tower became active in just a moment. "An activated tower in the desert sector. 45 degrees north northeast. But the signal is not coming from Xana!"

"You think Xana changed his signal?" Ulrich asked.

"No it's not possible to do so. I'd like to know where this signal is coming from? I'll try to trace it. Get to Lyoko and disable the tower fast!"

The group headed down to the scanner room. "I'll virtualize the guys first." Odd and Ulrich stepped in and the process began. "Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Odd." Both of their ID cards showed up on the screen. "Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Odd." Their bodies scanned and they were ready. "Virtualization." Odd and Ulrich disappeared and landed in the desert sector.

"Okay ladies, its your turn." Yumi and Aelita stepped into the scanners and the process began again. ( It's the same process. Just read what's above but replace Ulrich and Odd with Yumi and Aelita.)

Lyoko Desert Sector

"The tower is straight ahead of you. I'll bring up your vehicles."

The vehicles appeared and the warriors are off to the tower. "I'll try to find out what is emitting this signal." Jeremy launched a scan to try to find the source of this new signal. The warriors arrived at the tower.

"Jeremy are you sure it's not Xana?" Ulrich said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Jeremy said.

"Jeremy the tower is still activated as red as if Xana had activated it" Aelita stated.

"Impossible! There is no way Xana created a new signal. Something is definitely not right."

"You can say that again. We got big problems over here!" Yumi said. Just all of a sudden three tarantulas appeared to guard the tower but thy looked different.

"Those are not normal tarantulas! The eye is upside down!" Yumi stated.

"That is a problem. Looks like Xana is not the threat this time. Question is , who is?" Ulrich said.

"Let's figure out this mystery later. Right now, focus on our main objective, deactivate the tower."

The Lyoko warriors began their assault. The tarantulas started to shoot at them immediately.

"Each one of us take one! Aelita hang back!" Ulrich instructed.

Yumi went straight at her monster dodging the laser coming from its arms and when she was in range she launched her fan, hit the target eye, and the monster exploded.

Odd lured his tarantula away from the tower and sped up on his overboard turned around and fired several laser arrows at it. The tarantula exploded.

Ulrich went straight at his monster as fast as possible, jumped off his overbike, and threw his saber at the target eye of the tarantula, and it exploded.

"The way is clear! I'm heading in!" Aelita stated.

Aelita entered the tower and ascended to the top level. She placed her hand on the screen and entered the Code: Lyoko. And with that the tower was deactivated.

"Tower, deactivated." Aelita said as the data screens descended around her.

Back in the Lab

"I managed to track the signal. It comes from some unknown place in Switzerland" Jeremy stated.

"What do we do?" Yumi said.

"We fight. If the source comes from Switzerland we can't deactivate the source of this new threat. But I found this source code." Jeremy showed the group the source code.

"Anti-Xana" Aelita said.

"Who or what is Anti-Xana?" Ulrich said.

"My guess, our new friend who activated the tower" Jeremy said.

"So what do we do?" Yumi said.

"I would say fight it as normal, but if it can gain control of the monsters then this threat is more powerful than Xana. We have to get more power."

"You don't mean…"

"Yes, we have to make a deal with Xana to get rid of this new threat. We are back in action."

At Tyron's Lab

"I saw you activated a tower. Did you find Xana?" Tyron asked.

"No. Some kids deactivated the tower before I could find anything" Anti-Xana said.

"Kids, do you mean a samurai, ninja, a purple cat, and pink fairy?"

"Yes, that is them."

"So the Lyoko Warriors are back huh? Get rid of them as well."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, these kids caused problems last time. I will not tolerate another failure again because of their interference."

"Do you want me kill them or just stop them all together?"

"Just stop them from interfering. Do your main job, locate and eradicate Xana. We will deal with the warriors later."

"Yes master."

Tyron didn't know he was working for another world conquering threat, but he had a fire burning in his soul. He wanted to get rid of the Lyoko Warriors this time for good, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it. Even if he orders Anti-Xana to kill them.

A.N.- Tyron is hell bent this time on stopping the Lyoko Warriors. For those of you who haven't watched Evolution I won't spoil it but in the end Tyron ordered his supercomputer to be shut down with Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, and William in the core of the Cortex. If they didn't rematerialize they would have been lost in the Digital Sea. Also the Lyoko Warriors are going to cut a deal with their mortal enemy Xana! Will he accept or will he try to stop Anti-Xana on his own. Find out next chapter! See ya! –lyokowarrior97
