Endgame

Note: I know I screwed up with the Chapter names last chapter. Please do not sue me for that. Also, I have begun 10th grade at my high school. I will continue to write, but expect to wait a while.

I don't own Code Lyoko.

Chapter 13: New Power

Sissy, Herb, and Nicholas shielded their eyes as the light continued to shine. Just then, the light then dimmed as the three could start to see what was coming from it. The form of three people slowly started to appear from the light. "What?" Herb said as the three recognized them. Odd, Ulrich and Yumi had appeared from the light, but looking different. Odd had his original haircut, but his clothes were an opened purple vest and a pair of pants. He also had on white stripped gloves and boots that were also purple. On his back, however, was a handheld musket rifle. Ulrich was wearing golden samurai armor that had a symbol of a Noah mask on its back, along with brown knee guards and shoes. On his head was a gold samurai helmet with a green stripe running along the top. On his side were two katana blades. Yumi was donning black shorts that went down to her thighs and a black top with long sleeves. Her hair was tied back in a bun as always and she wore black shoes. She was wielding two Tampas in each hand, but they were made of sharpened steel.

"I see we have gotten even more powerful." Sissy said. "You don't know the half of it." Odd said, his hands crossed in front of his chest. "Well, well, well. We're cocky aren't we," Nicholas said as he lifted his axe," lets just see how strong you really are." "Do you wish to take that path?" Yumi asked, the points of her Tampas resting on her elbows. It's that path that will lead to your destruction." Sissy replied, her extra spider legs extending from her back and holding her up over the ground. "I hope your aware," Ulrich said, drawing his one of his swords as Odd held his riffle," that the scanner room is gone. So, if one of us goes here, we're gone for good. "Don't worry," Herb replied," your power level may have gotten better, but we are the ones who will bring about your demise." "We can give you one more chance," Yumi began," surrender or perish." Sissy then yelled," I have had enough of you!"

With that, the two groups charged each other. Nicholas did a shoulder charge right at Odd, yet Odd managed to jump over it. Nicholas then began a furry of axe swings, yet Odd's agility allowed him to dodge the swings. He then aimed his rifle as Nicholas said, "You tried that last time." "Let's just say I got better ammo." Odd said as he fired the rifle. Small metal blasts headed straight at Nicholas as they were fired from the muzzle. Upon impact, Nicholas was surprised that they penetrated him as he felt them hit his skin. He then yelled, "Axe Shockwave!" as he slammed his axe against the ground and a large Shockwave started to knock over things. Odd jumped over it and landed, but not before Nicholas swung his axe at him. Odd ducked under it as he pointed the barrel of the rifle directly at Nicholas' chest .He then echoed, "Eruption blaster!" A huge crack echoed from the gun as Nicholas was sent hurling into a rock, his chest smoking from the previous fire.

Ulrich was doing battle with Herb. Ulrich pointed the tip of his sword at him as Herb lifted up his knifes. He then launched them at Ulrich with incredible speed as always, but Ulrich managed to block them. Herb continued to throw more of them, yet Ulrich's reflexes continually blocked them with the blade. Ulrich then went in for sword swipes as Herb continued to move with his own speed. Just then, he had a feeling of something-sharp move across the side of his face. Upon realizing he had been cut, he jumped back from Ulrich and said, "It's a good thing I can't bleed or feel pain!" "You're becoming more and more insane, just like XANA." Ulrich replied. Herb, with a look of anger, yelled, "Psychic Shot!" as a large rock was telepathically thrown at Ulrich. Ulrich cut the rock, his blade moving through it with ease as it was cut in two. Ulrich then drew his second sword and yelled, "Triple Striker!" Two clones, each with one blade each, appeared in front of him and charged Herb. One slashed him in a downward motion, while the other did it in an upward motion. The, Ulrich charged and did a slash motion with both swords in front of him. Herb was then knocked to the ground as Ulrich placed his blade to Herb's neck.

Sissy began an engagement with Yumi by swinging her claws at her. Yumi used her Tampas to block the swings. Sissy then screamed "Acid Torrent!" as streams of acid shot from her wrists. Yumi quickly rolled from the sprays of acid. Sissy then used her extra legs to hit Yumi. Yumi then dodged the blows as they continued to keep coming. She then jumped from her and yelled," Steel Spinners!" She then threw her Tampas as they spun in a quick movement towards Sissy. They cut through the extra legs with ease, causing Sissy to drop to the ground. As she stood up, the blades came back and hit her sides, knocking her to the ground and then returning to Yumi's hands.

"Sissy!" Herb cried as her watched her fall. He quickly knocked aside the blade that was pressed against his neck and quickly ran in front of Sissy. He then looked at Yumi and yelled, "Psychic wave!" A blast then shot from his body, knocking Yumi into the air, yet she recovered and dropped to the ground with ease. "Are you all right, my dear?" Herb asked as he lifted her off the ground. "I feel like hell." She replied. He put her arm around his solder as the same plate reappeared in front of them. He carried her on it as he yelled, "Psychic Shot!" as he telepathically lifted Nicholas from the ground and placed him on the plate. "You may have won this round," Herb said as the plate lifted from the ground," but we shall return!" With that, the plate went off and disappeared from sight.

Upon seeing them leave, the three turned to Aelita as Ulrich asked," Are you all right?" "Yes, I'm fine," Aelita replied with a look of disbelieve," that was incredible." "Yeah, this new powers sure come in handy." Odd said as he holstered his rifle to his back. Just then, OSRO appeared from the doorway of the building and walked over to them. "I thank you for protecting me." He said to the ground upon reaching them. "It was the only way to ensure XANA got the message." Yumi answered. "So, you were planning on not deleting them." OSRO replied. "Correct," Ulrich said, "we do have rivalries against them, but we must find another way to bring them home." "You are quite merciful." OSRO said. "We do our best." Odd replied. "OSRO," Aelita began, "we need to stop XANA. Do you now where to find him?" "Well, I can say he had a base in the polar region," he said," but be careful. I don't know what he is planning." "We will be," Ulrich replied," goodbye. With that, the four went off in their journey to stop XANA.

Meanwhile...

"XANA will be furious with us." Nicholas said. "Don't worry," Sissy replied," we will stop them." "Yes," Herb said, "there is one way to stop them." "Of course. And let's just say, friend will become foe." Sissy said.

What did she mean by that? Will XANA's true motives be reviled? Find out in Chapter 14!
