Chapter 6: Ending the Fight

With Ulrich and Fianna

"Yumi! Aelita!" Fianna cried in excitement. She ran over and untied the ropes entangling them. Ulrich pulled off their blind–folds.

"Thanks goodness you two are here!" Aelita smiled.

"Let's sneak out of here," Ulrich sighed.

Fianna looked at him pityingly. "How? Unless you haven't noticed, X.A.N.A. would realize that his hostages are gone. We will have to fight our way out."

"Well, what can we arm ourselves with?" Yumi asked.

"I don't know, but we can lure X.A.N.A. to Lyoko and fight him there," Fianna suggested.

Ulrich frowned. "How will we do that without Jeremie at the computer?"

"Ulrich!!! You would think you were here, hostage. Jeremie came with us, remember? We can go up, yell at X.A.N.A., slip into Lyoko and fight there. Got it everyone?" Fianna instructed.

With Jeremie and Odd

Odd parried another blow from X.A.N.A. and leaped back. Jeremie rushed forward, hoping to buy the others some time. He parried, but struggled as X.A.N.A. applied pressure. "You aren't really that strong, are you, Ulrich?" X.A.N.A. smiled evilly.

"Oh, that's only because that's not me," said Ulrich's voice from the shadows. He stepped out, flanked by Yumi, Fianna, and Aelita. X.A.N.A. scowled and suddenly grinned.

"Well, if it isn't the Lyoko beings," he hissed. "I will possess you four! I will!" He lunged at them. Fianna leapt and knocked everyone down. Yumi ran to Jeremie and explained. The other three were dodging X.A.N.A.'s attacks. Jeremie swiftly told Odd the plan. Odd then tapped Fianna who ran to the elevator and slid down to the scanners. Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Odd followed.

They were virtualized and instantly started to sprint off. The five were in the mountains. Aelita swiftly used a rock to block X.A.N.A.'s lasers and caused an avalanche to bury him. They ran to the desert where Ulrich caused sandstorms to blow X.A.N.A. off course and unable to see them. The four proceeded to the glacial region where Yumi made him slip and fall. He was slowing down. "We are wearing him down," Yumi smiled. "Perfect." Finally they reached the forest. Trees and stones fell on him, finally trapping him.

"Let's leave. Finally he is gone," Aelita grinned in triumph.

"Alright. Just a minute, okay?" Fianna agreed. She slipped thorough X.A.N.A.'s defenses and sifted through his mind. 'He's ... sad? Why in the world would X.A.N.A. be sad?' She slid out and into Aelita's mind. 'She...hates us? What the?' She forced herself back into her own mind and found herself sweating.

"What's wrong?" Odd looked down at her, concerned.

"No. We can't shut down Lyoko," Fianna ordered icily.

"Are you crazy?!? Finally we get a chance to leave, and you won't let us!" Aelita yelled.

"No. That is not X.A.N.A." Fianna said. She grabbed X.A.N.A.'s hand and pulled him up. She pointed at Aelita. "She is."

"Are you crazy? It's X.A.N.A., the one we have been battling all the time!" Ulrich yelled.

"Are you sure?" Fianna inquired.

"Yes!!!" Yumi screamed.

"You aren't sure. You don't know if it's an imposter. You can't read minds. I can, and that is not Aelita," she declared, pointing at Aelita.

"Good, Fianna, very good. But not good enough," Aelita hissed. She transformed into a cloud of black smoke. "Now, we will battle to the end." The sky turned a cloudy black. She shot a bolt of black lightning at Odd, who collapsed and materialized. Ulrich was enraged and flew at her, who just let Ulrich pass through her. X–Aelita hit him with lightning as well. He materialized. X–Aelita charged at the real Aelita, cowering behind Yumi and Fianna. She ducked but couldn't manage to dodge the lightning bolt.

"Fianna, what banishes a shadow?" whispered Aelita as she disappeared.

Muhahaha! I know this is a lame ending spot. Next chapter coming soon, if you review.
