"What in the world was that?!?!" Exclaimed Ulreck. The explosion had been sudden. It also had been instant; a flash of light, a deafening boom, and a surge of heat. All of the lights in the mall were flickering and the fire alarm could be heard. Everyone in the mall had ducked for cover, it seemed.

"I have no idea..." Alieta said. Then she added, "Hey! Look at that!" She pointed toward the origin of the explosion. A flickering red and orange glow could be seen.

"Should we check it out?" Inquired Odd.

Yumi answered this immediately. "Yeah, let's go."

The other nodded in unison, and began to jog toward the red/orange glow. But when they got there, they knew who was the mastermind behind this.

"Xana..." Alieta whispered.

The scene was surreal. A very large portion of the south entrance was blacked by the blast. Fire was burning in a circle around the blackened place, as well as within it. The stores nearby were engulfed in flames, and bodies littered the area around it. You could easily see that many were unconscious, if not dead, and many more were injured. But the most troubling thing was a man standing in the middle of the whole blast area. He was tall, and had silver hair. He also was holding a long sword. At the moment, he was facing away from the team, toward the doors.

"Whoa."

As they looked at the surreal scene, the team was uncertain of what to make of it. Ulreck noticed a nearby person who was looking at a book then at the figure standing in the circle. "It... can't be..." He kept muttering.

Ulreck dashed over to the person. He noticed that he was looking at game guide for the game 'Kingdom Hearts'. "What can't be?" Ulreck asked.

"That person..." he said, "Is from a game..." he held out the book and let Ulreck see. Sure enough, he was indeed from that game. The only thing that was missing was a black wing from his right shoulder. Then he noticed it. From his right shoulder, was indeed a single, black wing. Ulreck took another look at the page. The name of him, Ulreck noted was 'Sephiroth'.

............................................................................................................

In a tower on Lyoko, Xana was watching everything play out.

"Ha, ha, ha! Very good, my creation... They have arrived..."

............................................................................................................

Ulreck took the book and showed the others.

"Xana created a video game character? But, why??"

Yumi was silent. Odd was confused and Alieta offered an idea. "We need to get to Lyoko NOW!"

"So, you must be the team that Xana is having trouble defeating. How pathetic."

The team looked toward the source. Sephiroth was now looking at them, his green eyes locked dead on.

"I am afraid I cannot allow you to do that. Xana is now the least of your worries."

............................................................................................................

In the tower in Lyoko, Xana was shocked. "Pathetic...? What in the hell is he doing???"

But it only got worse.

"Least of our worries? What do you mean?" It was Yumi who said this.

"That weakling Xana created me, but he created me too well. I will deal with him later."

Xana didn't need to hear anymore. In a flash, Xana left Lyoko and was headed toward the mall.

............................................................................................................

"What do you mean you'll deal with him later?"

"I mean I will kill him. But now, I will do what he could not. I will kill you."

Sephiroth raised his hand and shot an ice ball from it, creating a ice wall behind them. Then he placed a hand on his sword and prepared to strike. Just then, a blast from behind announced someone coming through the ice wall. It was Xana.

"HEY! What in the hell do you think you are doing?!?!"

Sephiroth looked at Xana. "What I want to do. You know longer control me."

Xana fixed him with a stare that clearly showed his outrage. "HA! The hell I don't! You still have my symbol on your wrist! I tell YOU what to do!"

Sephiroth was ready for that. He held up his hand, and it indeed did have the symbol on it, but not for long. The symbol faded away and a number '1' appeared in its place. He then smiled.

Xana staggered backwards. "NO! I-I-It can't be!"

"But it is. So long. Areo."

A whirlwind encased Xana as levitated him. Sephiroth place both hands on his sword and sliced it across his navel. Xana let out a scream of pain, the whirlwind disappeared, and he fell to the ground.

"I'll deal with you later." Then, he disappeared into the air, leaving black feathers fall to the ground. The ice wall and fire stopped, although the place was still destroyed. The team stood there, stunned, with a wounded Xana on the ground.

They were all thinking the same thing. 'This is gonna be hard to overcome...'
