the show!

5:50 PM The Park
The team was shocked. Was this guy serious? Jeremy wasn't Jeremy?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa... Can you repeat that?" Ulreck said.
"I said, he not Jeremy, he's Xana!"
"Look, buddy, I don't know who you are, but I am NOT Xana!" Yelled Jeremy.
"Just what makes you think he IS Xana?" Inquired Yumi.
"Now, Gary, what make you think I would impersonate THAT computer geek?"
Everyone turned around at the sound of his voice. Xana was leaning against a tree near them and look mildly amused.
"That isn't Xana! It a hologram!" exclaimed Gary. "Here, I'll prove it."
"NO! Wait!"
Gary went right up to Xana, swung his fist at him, and went straight through his gut without a scratch done to Xana.
"See? I told you!"
"Ah, but what if I am Jeremy? You would think that I would have attack sooner, right?"
"Not exactly." It was Jeremy who said this. "You could have just as easily killed Ulreck, Yumi, and Odd in the virtual reality you had them in."
"True, true."
"And you could have killed us just by turning off Lyoko."
"Good point. But, I still have much to do with Lyoko. I still need to be finished!"
This took the team by surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"I may have my powers, true, but I am linked to Lyoko. Killing off that power would, slightly weaken me. You see, Lyoko provides me with my monsters. It also allows me to turn into electricity and flow with ease through the phone lines, power lines, radio signals, satellite signals, and any other form of electrify there is. With a touch of my finger I can corrupt anything to serve me. So you see, there is no need to shut down Lyoko yet."
"And how do you plan to finalize yourself?"
"If I told you, I would take the fun out of it."
Then Xana disappeared.
"Whoa! Where did he go?"
"Hey, Gary, right? Do you still think our Jeremy is Xana?"
"Ya know, I am not sure anymore."
"Well, come on, let's see if we can't use the super computer to find about his plans."
"Yeah, that is a good idea, Ulreck, let's go. Hey, Gary, if you want you can come along."
"Yeah sure, come on, we'll take my car."
As the team headed off, something peculiar happened. What almost appeared to be an invisible hand, Gary was suddenly lifted from the ground and thrown into a tree knocking him out cold. The team looked for the cause and found Jeremy in a most unusual stance. He was standing with one are out in front of him and a stern look on his face.
When he spoke, it was in a tone most unlike Jeremy. "He knew too much. He had to be silenced."
The truth hit home instantly. Gary was telling the truth. Jeremy WAS Xana!
"You fiend!" Screamed Alieta. This was the first time that Alieta had EVER screamed in anger. Heck, it WAS the first time they had even SEEN her angry.
"What have you done with Jeremy?!?" Snarled Ulreck.
The rest of the team was too dumbstruck and infuriated to even speak.
"Ah, do not worry, Ulreck. He is still in Lyoko."
Then the fake Jeremy began to change before their eyes. His hair began to turn black and spike upward, and his face began to change. On his hand, the symbol of Xana appeared, and his glasses began to turn into sunglasses. His clothing turned black and a trench coat began to appear around him. After the transformation, Xana dusted himself off and stared hungrily at the team.
"Why did you do it?"
"Hmm. A good question. Oh yeah, I just wanted to mess with you."
That was a mistake to say. Because at that moment, Yumi snapped.
"Hiiiiiya!" Yumi kicked Xana straight in the face causing him to flip backward and fall on his back. "Waaaoof!"
But she was far from finished. She walked over and grabbed his throat. Then she pulled his face up, and punched it again. Then she spoke what was on her mind.
"It really doesn't take a lot to get me mad. But to get me to the point that I want to kill take a little time. For almost a year we have put up with your shit, and each time we have defeated you. You are nothing to us. NOTHING. Trust me when I say this, we would have pulled the plug LOOOONG ago with out a second thought. The only reason we didn't is because we became friend with Alieta and wanted to help her get out of that hell hole."
Gary, who was just now regaining consciousness, saw Yumi leaning over Xana. His only thought was what the hell just now happened?
"You can think, Xana, how pissed and saddened we were when we found that you gave Alieta a virus. That if you went down, you'd take her with you. Well Xana, no matter how you try, you will always fail. You are the biggest, most insecure, pathetic, FREAK of nature, kid that I have EVER seen in my life!"
With that, she threw him back down and kicked him in the ribs. As she walked back to the team, she was greeted with rather stunned looks. The crumpled heap that was Xana was still moaning.
As Xana struggled to get up, he acted in a way that could not be explained.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."
Xana was laughing! Even though he had a black eye, at least one broken rib, and a nose that was bleeding profusely, he was laughing!
The team looked at him with curiosity as he continued.
"Ha, h-ha, ha, h-ha... G-good m-move, Yumi... B-but I still h-have Ace to p-p- play..."
This confused the team even more. Even Gary wasn't sure what he was about to do.
"You like f-fireworks, don't you?"
He reached into his coat and pulled out what appeared to be PDA. He pressed a button on it and it beeped in confirmation. Looking at it, he grinned and then tossed to Yumi. "Catch."
She caught it and looked at it. It was some sort of timer that was counting down. It currently read: 5Hr: 58Min: 12Sec
"What is this?"
"A countdown to the greatest fireworks display ever. A nuclear blast."
The words horrified the team and Gary.
"At this moment, all nuclear reactors have been set to overload and will explode at that moment. The result will be the most catastrophic meltdown in history. And guess what? There is only one way to prevent it."
"I am afraid to guess, submit to you?"
"Naw, I gave up with that. Lyoko is the key."
"Oh man..."
"We have to return NOW!"
And with that, the team began to run back to the factory. Gary, unsure what to think, ran after them. After all, he might be able to help them.
As they ran, Xana called after them. "HA, HA, HA, HA! WAIT TILL YOU GET THERE! I HAVE A FINAL SURPRISE WAITING! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!" ............................................................................................................
Author's Note: Well, a countdown to disaster has begun. Will the team stop it in time? Stay tuned!
By the way, have you read the works by, uh, I think he's called 'Red the Dragon' (If he's reading this, did I get it right?)? I personally like he works.
See ya!
