Chapter 4

Yumi and Aelita ran inside the base, they were ruining through hallways with guards in sight." This is too easy, I'm sure Xana has traps here" said Yumi. Suddenly lasers fired at them, they turned to see five roachters, one block, and one crab, firing at them, Yumi threw her fan destroy the crab and the block on it's way back, they continued to run until trap door opened and Yumi fell through it. "Yumi" shouted Aelita trying to catch but the door closed before she caught her. The roachters kept firing and Aelita had to run, she didn't get far though, she tripped and fell. The roachters caught up to her, before she could grab her sword a laser blasted away from her, then the roachters fired a blue laser knocking Aelita out.

Odd was busy firing his laser arrows at the girl, but she kept on dodging, suddenly black smoky tendrils came out of her back at attacked Odd. He jumped out of the way" Wow, who are you anyway?" asked Odd." They call me Elsa" said the girl. Before Odd could move again Elsa's tendril wrapped around him, brought him to her, then she fired blue laser from her hands at him knocking him out.

Yumi fell into a empty room, she got up and looked around it was mostly dark, then suddenly two arms wrapped around her chest pulling her into the shadow" I have been waiting for you Yumi" said a familiar voice." Ulrich is that you?" said Yumi. The arms released her; she turned around and saw two red glowing eyes, and Xana's logo was burning on his forehead." Long times no see Yumi" said Ulrich smirking at her." Ulrich don't, it's me Yumi, don't let Xana control you" said Yumi. Ulrich unsheathed his sword stabbed her left side, she fell on her knees clutching her left side, then Ulrich raised his hand and blue laser she fell onto ground unconscious.

Aelita woke up, she felt dizzy for moment then her vision returned. She discovered she was tied to chair; she struggled to loosen the ropes" Don't bother Aelita; you'll be free in few minutes as long as you stay quiet" said voice she knew too well." Xana" she said as Xana started to circle her." Yes sister" said Xana as he sat down on a chair." Why do you say we are brother and sister?" said Aelita" You are a computer virus I'm not." "I was not always a computer virus, remember Aelita?" said Xana" I was once a virtual being like you, except I was bound to the supercomputer, and did not have a true form" said Xana" I could only my virtual forms, from the Lyoko database, and only appeared as black cloud of smoke. When I was infected I gained new abilities only Lyokoians ever dreamed of, but the creators were afraid of my new powers and tried to destroy me. I was created to help humans and how do they repay me, they betray me, they trap me and try to destroy me, why do you bother helping humans when all they will do in the end is betray you?" Xana finished." Because Xana these humans treat like I am real and not some experiment, and they helped me learn about the real world. Can't you see they are not like the scientists Xana? Leave them alone" said Aelita. Xana stood up from his chair saying" I see that you have become like the humans sister, no matter if I am in good mood I might spare the hacker Jeremy". He untied her, and a few roachters came into the room and stood beside her." Take her away" said Xana and roachters escorted her out.

Yumi woke up and looked around it was another dark room with virtual furniture and saw Odd laying on the couch" Odd wake up" she said. Odd got up moaning" Ugh where am I?" he said. "In another part of Xana's fortress" Yumi answered. Then Aelita looking confused entered room and the door closed" What happened to you Aelita" asked Yumi, she told them the story Xana told her." It still doesn't make any sense" said Odd." Where were you anyway?" asked Aelita" I got attacked by this girl called Elsa" said Odd." And I got knocked out by Ulrich" said Yumi looking down. Odd noticed a pair of yellow eyes watching them, the same eyes as Elsa's." Hey come on out Elsa I can see your eyes" said Odd. Elsa stepped out of the shadows with a menacing smile. "What do you want" said Yumi glaring at her." It's not what I want; it's what Xana wants" said Elsa." Who do you serve him?" said Aelita" I am indebted to him because he saved my life, the creators wanted to delete me because there was glitch in my system, Xana maybe a computer virus but he tricked the creators into thinking he deleted me, and hid me here before they discovered he was infected." said Elsa. "Ulrich would like to see you Yumi" she said wrapping a black tendril around her. Odd and Aelita were blocked by door coming from the ceiling. A red aura appeared around Yumi as she struggled, when it was gone she was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, with black high heels, white gloves, and her hair was tied in ponytail" I leave you two alone" said Elsa and disappeared. Yumi looked around in the new room. Ulrich then appeared wearing his normal clothes except they were different color, his jacket was black, his shirt was red, and his pants were black." Ulrich you help us stop Xana" she said" Don't let Xana control you." She had to free him" Ulrich remember all the good you, me and the others had, we fight Xana" she said. She noticed a conflict in his eyes; she walked up to him and grabbed both sides both sides of his face" Remember who you are Ulrich" said Yumi. Ulrich was struggling with himself on the inside, he collapsed on his knees, Yumi held him, then his retuned to normal." Yu...mi" he said weakly" Shh it's okay Ulrich" whispered Yumi. He was struggling to stay awake but failed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xana sat in his chair." It's time" he said, he started up his plan, the program he stole from Jeremy was the materialization program, monsters appeared out of the scanners heading towards the city.

Jeremy saw what was in the scanner room through a camera and gasped. Xana had brought an army of monsters onto Earth, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
