Chapter 4 Future Saved?
A.N. – This is the end of the Xana attack, hut not the end of the story. There will be one more bonus chapter after this showing the actual future after this chapter concludes. Sorry about the delay. My weekend was messed up again and my week was awkward as well. Finally found time to write this.
Short Summary – The twins head to Lyoko with the secret ally to the warriors, William, in one last effort to stop Xana. Can the twins stop Xana and save the future, or will Xana make the past happen once more?
Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko or the story idea. I am just a fan of the show and the story idea was submitted by James Marshall.
Continued From Last Chapter…
"I don't think it matters now. Aelita can't return to Lyoko for 12 hours. I think we should just accept that we couldn't change our future" Jeremy says, without an ounce of hope in his voice.
"Jeremy, you have to send us there," Erin starts. "Erina is the last hope for this world. We decided not to say anything, just in case Aelita could succeed, but my sister adopted the ability to deactivate towers like Aelita."
"How is that possible?"
"During the time we were being trained to fight and defend, you two decided to make a plan B just in case plan A failed again. Me and Aelita were sent to Lyoko, and she transferred her ability to deactivate towers to me. I just need to get to the tower" Erina reveals.
"Okay, hold on here. Something is happening around the tower on Lyoko. Apparently, Xana might know of Erina's ability."
"Why do you say that?" Erin asks.
"He cloned Ulrich and made five clones of him."
"Maybe he is strengthening the defenses of the tower since you cut his forces down to size" Erina says.
"I don't know why. Xana shouldn't know what you can do" Erin responds.
"Smells like a trap doesn't it."
"But for what?"
"Bait. Jeremy, call William. We need back-up."
"I was trying to avoid that, but I'm on it" Jeremy responds as he dials up William.
After about ten minutes, William arrived at the factory in the scanner room.
"Jeremy, mind telling me why there are two people here who look a lot like Aelita and you?" William asks.
"We'll give you the full rundown later. Right now, your future and everyone else's is at risk!" Erina says.
"Okay, send us Jeremy."
William. Erina, and Erin stepped into the scanners and Jeremy started up the procedure. "Transfer William. Transfer Erina. Transfer Erin." Jeremy saw William's Id and the twin's ID's pop up. "They did upload their ID's. Scanner William. Scanner Erina. Scanner Erin." All three of them were scanned and ready to go. "Virtualization." All three of them were virtualized into the forest sector.
All three of them landed safely on the ground. Erina was almost identical to Aelita as she had the whole-body suit with wings. The only difference was that her body suit wasn't pink. Her brother on the other hand was a ninja like warrior with spiked gauntlets, a dark blue headband, a blue body suit, has slashing claws on his bands as well throwing stars.
"Feels good to be back on Lyoko. Feels like forever since I've been here" William says, stretching.
"For us, we wish we wouldn't have to step foot in this place" Erin says, with a hint of sadness.
"Who fell into the digital sea?" William asks, knowing everyone was this way when he fell victim to Xana.
"No one, it's what happened to the world after the Lyoko Warriors failed" Erina says.
"Listen, quick rundown, Aelita is currently pregnant with the current versions of us, and if we fail here, the world will be conquered by Xana, and we'll all suffer."
"Speaking of which, the tower is straight ahead of you" Jeremy informs them.
"We can see it" Erina says, seeing a slight red halo in the distance.
Jeremy receives an alert on the computer from the cameras. "Hurry it up, because it looks like Xana is coming for us." He sees the monsters on the move, getting closer to the elevator. He quickly shut it down. "Hopefully that buys us enough time."
The three run down the path and see the Ulrich clones guarding it. They all draw their sabers and take a fighting stance.
"Can your sister fight?" William asks.
"She can, but it's not recommended" Erin responds.
"Okay then, two on five. Shouldn't be a problem" William says, summoning his sword. "Okay, super smoke!" He super smokes behind and the Ulrich clone and slashes it before it can react. An Ulrich clone charges him, and William defends. "Give up Xana. Ulrich rarely beats me!"
Erin throws one of the stars and the clone is defeated. "Looks like you needed help" Erin comments.
William sees a clone behind him. "Duck!" William throws his sword and Erin ducks in time for the third clone to be destroyed.
The fourth quickly rushes William. "Watch out!" Erin throws another star, and it hits the Ulrich clone, but not before it lands a strike on William. William lands on his back. His shoulder sparking.
"William, be careful. That was a fifty-life point hit!" Jeremy informs him.
"Super dangerous, got it." The final clone appears behind Erin. "Behind you!"
Erin is knocked down and the Ulrich clone puts the blade at his neck. It is suddenly engulfed in a red energy and the destroyed form his sister. She is up in the air. "Looks like the two of you needed help" Erina says from the sky.
"Ha ha, go deactivate the tower" Erin tells her.
The elevator's locking program is disabled, and the monsters enter the elevator and start descending.
Erina slowly enters the tower which has no defense. Unknowingly to Xana, he didn't know that Erina can deactivate the towers. Xana has thought he won but was soon to be proven wrong. She levitates to the top.
The elevator reaches the laboratory level, where all the warriors are.
Erina reaches the top and presses her hand to the interface.
Erina
Code
The door opens to reveal the monsters.
"I hope Erina was telling the truth," Jeremy says.
"Or Xana will kill us" Aelita finishes.
Lyoko
The monster disappears before they can try to destroy the warriors.
The screens start descending in the tower. "Tower deactivated" Erina says as the halo turns blue.
"I'm bringing you all in. Rematerialize William. Rematerialize Erin. Rematerialize Erina."
All three of them reappear in the scanners, looking physically drained of energy.
"Well, Xana now knows that two of us can deactivate towers" Aelita concludes.
"But that just makes us and the two unborn versions of us a target. Xana will soon start targeting the two of them if he knows that you can transfer your ability to her, and maybe even still keep it" Erina says.
"Well since it was never confirmed what happened to all of us, what happened to us in the never to happen future?" Yumi asks.
"As for Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi, you never returned from your last trip to the surface. We suspected that you were captured or killed. As for our parents, that last thing we saw was their death at the hands of Xana. He wanted us dead, but we escaped and when we woke up, we were in this timeline. I think after Jeremy died, he set I back a little farther, or he meant to do that in order for us to have time to prepare for what was to come" Erin explains.
"Probably to gain our trust" Yumi says.
"Possibly, but seeing as you guys trusted us fast, shows we could have shown two days prior to the attack" Erina responds.
"Well Jeremy, I think a return to the past is needed. No way the city is going to forget the creatures they saw today" Odd tells him.
"Way ahead of you Odd." Jeremy presses a button. "Return to the past now."
The twins happily run the café they set up at Kadic and even had the warriors stop by and try it out.
"I want you to remember that this isn't a hang-out spot for non-students" Erina tells them.
"Cut us some slack. We just wanted to check out the place" Ulrich tells them.
"We need to get rid of Xana" Jeremy whispers to Aelita.
"Yes, but first, let's get the twins into this world" Aelita responds.
"I agree, but after that, we need to destroy him, so our children are not at risk."
"Jeremy, I appreciate you showing concern, but don't stop all together. Try to find a way to destroy Xana and maybe our future children can help. Erina has all my codes. She can be a major asset."
"Yeah, maybe."
Jeremy knows that Aelita and Erina both have the same codes that can be used to stop Xana whenever, wherever. They now have more time to find a way to stop Xana for good.
"Do you think our future still exists?" Erin asks his sister.
"Depends on if that paradox theory is real or not. If yes, then it still exists without us and if not then we erased it and are creating a new one" Erina responds.
"Won't that cause an issue with two of us in this world?"
"Who says anyone's gonna know they are us?"
"When they're born, maybe not, but as time goes on, the similarities will start to show, and people might put two and two together."
"Then we just change our appearance. We're a part of this world now, in more ways than one. We live our lives, and our duplicates live theirs. They're going to experience a different reality then the one we grew up in. They'll still know about Lyoko and everything when they're old enough, but they don't have to live in constant fear under the rule of a powerful AI tyrant."
"Well, what do we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Once we pay off our debt, we're free from the contract."
"We stay and help."
"Help who? Once Xana is dead, the world will be saved."
"Not the world, Jeremy and Aelita. It might be weird, but the twins will live almost similar lives to us. Maybe we can help them."
Life carried on as normal for the Lyoko Warriors and the twins. As the date neared, the twins mentioned that they would be born earlier then expected. Aelita was given a due date of May 19th. But when the beginning of May came, the hospital called her and ordered her in immediately. On the morning of May 2nd is when Aelita gave birth to Erina and Erin. The twins pulled out a picture from their future and saw that they looked exactly similar to them in the other timeline. Shortly after the birth, Jeremy found a way to eliminate Xana. He had Erina implant a program in Xana's virtual structure which would not allow him to return through any means necessary. On that same day, Jeremy relaunched a upgraded version of his original multi-agent program and eliminated Xana. The twins and the warriors now know they can live their lives peacefully.
A.N. – One more chapter remains, and it is kind of a glance into the future chapter. What will happen, only I and the submitter know. You'll just have to wait, hopefully not as long as this one. I'm very sorry. PM me with story ideas if you have any! Don't forget to review with questions or comments! I will respond! Stay safe and healthy out there! As always, till next time! See ya! -lyokowarrior97
