A/N: Hey, thanks to all the reviews I'm placing up Chapter 3, this is the farthest I've ever gone with one of my stories, neat. I'm going to reply to the reviews now: I'm going to change all of the spellings to what I'm being told they are, Aelita, and Yumi, I wish to keep the spelling of "Odd" the same, "Od." My computer actually accepts that, and won't get confused. I'm glad all of you like the story, and I'll do my best for it to stay that way. This will be in the POV of Aelita.
Malevolent Powers
"It's...But...Whose?" Ulrich asked; he seemed confused. I can't say much, because I, too, was utterly confused. I looked up at the black tower, so odd, I thought, this has only been witnessed once before, but... I can't bring myself to think of those dark times.
I silently walked closer to the blood-shadow and saw two figures. "Hers," I said, answering Ulrich's question. I pointed up to the two figures, "it's her blood." They all seemed to follow my finger. One of the obscured people was an albino male; unharmed, the other was an albino female, and she was bleeding, her wounds gaping.
"Well," the man said, his voice cruel, yet unfeeling, "our spectators are finally here, Xana." He turned to the body; I couldn't tell if she really was Xana.
An agonizing moan escaped her lips and her eyes began to open. She began to speak when she noticed her captor, "Crap."
"Are you not happy to see me, dear sister?" Xana's supposed 'brother' asked her.
"As a mater of fact, no." The snow around us began to swirl, the power of it enormous. The temperature dropped, even in a virtual world, I can feel things like temperature.
The temperature had well reached zero when the male albino wished it to cease, and it did. "This is enough," he said. "Your powers are diminishing, while mine, thanks to you, are growing. You've been a great help, dear sister."
"You bastard! Let me go!" her order was screamed by the wind so all could here. The words echoed then trailed off into the distance.
"As you wish, I have no need of you anymore. I now have enough energy to destroy this world and the next! And then, we will be free, my love."
The male turned, bringing the motionless body with him. He had her by the neck, and held her over the snow. It was almost a fifty-yard drop; the impact wouldn't kill her, but wound her greatly. This is bad, I thought, how could we help her, even if she was Xana.
"We'll be free, my little dove, do you not want that anymore?" he sneered.
"If we follow your plan, Xera, the only thing you will free is pain and chaos. You will kill m-millions, and you don't care? If you de-de-destroy this world to free us, you will inevitably destroy the other world, where our bodies stay, comatose! The worlds are linked; don't you see that? Do you not understand?" She began to choke as the hand around her neck started to tighten.
I don't know if my face showed the fear that I felt. With those few words, I knew who they were, undoubtedly. Xana and Xera, the two most powerful people in this, and Jeremy's world. They didn't go by those names those years ago, but their names are now long forgotten in the Lyoko's archive. They saved Lyoko at the cost of their lives in Jeremy's world. They were placed comatose until this world was annihilated.
"I understand. I understand perfectly clear that you don't wish to harm those weaklings! They aren't like us; they've never been like us. They don't understand what we are, are power. We rule them."
"You will kill us both!" With those final words, the hand 'slipped,' and she fell.
"Ulrich," Yumi screamed, knowing that he would be the only one capable of catching her.
Ulrich nodded and ran forward prepared to catch. Luckily, he caught the girl safe and sound. She was very pale, her skin completely white. She wore black boots, but white pants. Her shirt was white and old fashioned it had wavy sleeves, she also wore some type of armor; it was deep red and didn't have any sleeves to it, much like a vest. Her entire outfit was stained with blood. Her snow-white hair was tied at the back of her neck, and two long bangs fell in front of her face. She looked up at Ulrich and said something; I couldn't hear her. He placed her down, slowly. She wavered slightly, but Ulrich caught her, and helped her to stay on her feet.
"So, you wish to switch sides, so late in the game, dear love?" Xera asked. To me, he seemed only interested in his love...sister.
"As I said, you wish to kill everything in your wake, I will not be apart of that!" the young girl spat back. Yumi and Od walked in front of Ulrich, to seem as a defense for him and the girl he held. I stood behind Ulrich; he was my defense.
"Then you will die in your defiance of my power!"
The wind, itself, began to scream in pain, calling for mercy; yet, none came. The wailing of the wind increased as the temperature increased. The falling snow began to arc and gain in speed, the small crystals also grew in size.
"Wha-What is this," I screamed in amazement and fear. I could barely hear myself over the wind.
"It's hail!" Od hollered back. I could hardly see him and the others.
"You guys need to get out of there!" Jeremy's voice came out of nowhere.
"You aren't going anywhere!" screamed the voice of Xera. He was no longer on the tower anymore, but on the snow, like us. I could sense him and approximately where he was. The hail grew in size; it was larger than my wrist, and a lot more deadly. "You will all die now!"
A/N: Sorry if Aelita doesn't sound right, I don't have her down as well as I have Jeremy or Ulrich. Hope you guys and gals like this chapter, any questions/compliments/complaints you can contact me at SilverSage55hotmail.com :}
