Part 5: Final Showdown

Jeremie returned back to class giving the teacher the note that Night had given him before he left the school. "Hey Jer, where's Night". "I don't really know he just began to run out of the school. But that's no important Odd there's a huge problem". The bell rung and class was over. Ulrich, Odd and Jeremie met right away after class to discuss the issues going on inside of Lyoko. "WHAT! That's crazy XANA activating a whole bunch of towers like that. This could get serious we better go get Yumi" said Ulrich. Jeremie said "First let's get done with school right now and see if XANA attacks and what if XANA isn't planning anything then the teachers would get suspicious that we left school". "Right so as soon as schools over with then we'll go to the factory". So the day continued on as the usual with Jeremie checking for anything that could have been a XANA attack. At lunch Jeremie contacted Aelita hoping for good news. "Hello Aelita". "Hello Jeremie". "Has anything interesting happened in Lyoko". "No Jeremie I haven't seen any of XANA's monsters and there are more towers being activated as we speak". Then Night's call came in. "Jeremie there are activated towers but the strange thing is that there not transmitting anything into your world". "That's really strange Night". "XANA could just be waiting for something so we better keep our eyes open" said Night. "Both of you keep a lookout in Lyoko well get over to the factory to check after school". "Jeremie out".

The last school bell rang and the gang proceeded over to the factory. "Hey Sissy who's that" said Herb. Sissy turned her head and saw Ulrich running with Yumi. Sissy became furious and began to pout with jealousy. "Come on guys were following them" ordered Sissy. "But" before Herb could finish his sentence he was yanked by the collar by Sissy. Jeremie and the others with the infamous Sissy and her group tailing them form behind reached the factory. They entered the factory on the look out for any of XANA's traps that could be lurking around. They made there way to the elevator where the entered the control room. Jeremie entered his chair and began to connect to Lyoko. "Aelita are you there". "Yes Jeremie". "Any activity yet Aelita" asked Jeremie. "Strangely no activity yet". Jeremie hummed with a puzzled face. Then a call came in from Night "Jeremie we got a situation". "What's going on Night"? "Major things Jeremie. Look at this link I found". Jeremie opened another window on the screen. It was a T.V. broadcast. "We have a major problem here. There are these gigantic armies of robots that look like cannonballs, Crabs and more have yet to be seen. No one has yet to know where these creatures originated from but we are looking into this and" she was cut off when a crab blasted the camera man. "But how could XANA send his monsters out here without sending them through a scanner". Nights screen came back up and said "Your guess is as good as mine Jeremie but all I know is that this is only the beginning".

Ulrich, Yumi and Odd came down the elevator into the control room. "So what's going on Jeremie" asked Odd. "Nothing good Odd, XANA has activated a whole bunch of towers and more by the minute and a large army of XANA's monsters are destroying the city. You guys need to get into Lyoko and fast'. They all ran into the elevator heading downward into the scanner room to be virtualized. "You're heading into the forest region". They all stepped into the scanners and waited for virtualization. Scanner Yumi, scanner Odd, scanner Ulrich, virtualization.

In side of Lyoko. "So now where do we go from here Einstein" asked Odd? "Head north that's were you'll find Aelita". The began to run north keeping on the lookout for any of XANA's monsters. After a few minutes of walking they stopped. The looked forward at Night holding Aelita by the hand running forward away from a megatank. Night tossed Aelita into the air and throwing a cyber dagger at the tank destroying it. Night caught Aelita and placed her down safely on the ground. "Hey guys what's up". "Nothing good it's like a battlefield out there". So let's end this XANA attack and now before some innocent people get hurt on the outside world". So they began to run to the activated tower were Aelita would activate code LYOKO. When they arrived at the tower Aelita spent no time in trying to deactivate the tower. But before she could even enter the tower Night tackled her to the ground. "What the heck are you doing Night"? Night pointed at the tree behind them and saw that a laser had just blow a large chunk of the tree strait off. He got up and looked around. A maniacal laugh began to fill the forest with and eerie feeling of fear. Odd and Ulrich both began to keep on there toes watching for anything suspicious. "Jeremie is can you see if anything else is here with us" asked Ulrich. "There is nothing on the map" answered Jeremie". As strange figure began to hover down from the tree tops. His face covered by the shadows stopping us from realizing who he really was. He reached the ground and stepped out form the shadows. "No it couldn't be" said Odd as Aelita gasped in fear. His face was an exact copy of Nights face. "Night stood there looking at his copy. "Who are you" asked Ulrich. "He is XANA" answered Night. "XANA can do that". XANA stepped forward and said "Yes and much more". Night turned back and said "All of you get as far away as possible from here". "But what about the activated tower" asked Aelita? "Just do it trust me". Aelita turned back and ran with Yumi, Ulrich and Odd right behind her. They ran and ran until they came upon another tower.

They entered and rested for a minute. Aelita opened up a terminal to try and get in touch with Jeremie. "Jeremie are you there". "Yes Aelita im here". "Jeremie, XANA has materialized himself inside of Lyoko as Night". "Where is Night right now". "Fighting XANA". "By himself" said Jeremie. "Yes'. Another window popped up on Jeremie's screen. It was Night. "Jeremie you have to get everyone out of Lyoko now". "But what about Aelita" said Jeremie? "Check in your bag there's a disk in there with an anti virus program I was testing. It should work". Night's window disappeared and the connection to Night was gone. Jeremie picked up his back pack and searched for a CD that Night had placed inside. "Yes here it is". Jeremie uploaded the program into the computer quickly as he could run a test simulation. He began the process crossing his fingers. Jeremie's mouth gasped wide open with shock. "It works it works". He quickly contacted Aelita. "Aelita I have the anti virus, your coming to earth to stay". "That's great Jeremie". Before Aelita could even get a chance to get ready to make the trip. The tower began to tip over and rip from the ground. "Oh no" said Aelita. She fell back down and was caught by Odd. He put her down. She said we have to get out of this area now it's breaking up. "How do we do that Aelita" asked Yumi. "She stepped at the edge of the ledge. Looking downward. "We'll have to warp to another region. All you have to do is fall into the stream and you'll all end up in another deactivated tower". She fell with the rest of her friend following her.

They ended up at a deactivated tower in the desert region. They exited the tower looking around for anything unusual. Then they looked up at the sky. They sky had turned pitch black with cracks of codes striped from Lyoko. "They sky its just like the future that I saw" said Aelita. "This doesn't look good guys you have to get out of Lyoko and quickly". Ulrich, Yumi and Odd entered the tower. Jeremie hit the switch and Yumi, Ulrich and Odd were instantly devirutaulized. "You're next Aelita". She stepped onto the platform ready to be virtualized. Suddenly an error flashed on screen. "Aelita we have a problem. The tower has been damage for some reason". Said Jeremie as he scanned the tower. "You'll have to get to the next nearest tower to be devirutaulized. She leaped out form the tower running to the nearest tower she could find. She had the tower in her view of sight. All of a sudden Night came flying out of the ground into the air then smacking into the ground. He tried to get up but the damage he took was too much and he was far to weak to. He looked at Aelita and said "Run Aelita, Now"! She began to run to the tower as fast as her virtual body could go. XANA came flying out of the hole and landing right in front of Aelita. She turned around and tried to run away but was futile as XANA was far to quick. He grabbed her neck and raised Aelita above the ground. She tried to grab XANA but was unable to. Jeremie saw how XANA was about to kill Aelita and she would completely disappear forever and began to sweat with fear. Night looked at Aelita helpless and dying by XANA. He began to grow scared and petrified. He remembered all the hardships he faced in his time and the thought of his brother dying at the hand of XANA just as Aelita was about to. A thought came through his head at lightning speed. He thought of Aelita and the thought of losing her. He remembered the words of his brother before he died in his arms "Never give up and believe". Then something snapped inside of Night. Aelita opened her left eye barley able to see but she could feel. She felt pulsations approaching from all around her. The pulsations kept growing but she couldn't tell where they were going. The all headed into one direction. Then she realized where they were heading to. Inside of Night. Jeremie looked up at the screen and saw Nights card as the life points grew back all the way to normal and kept growing even further, Everyone came in running to the computer and said "So how Aelita Jeremie". Jeremie simply pointed at Nights card as it became stronger and stronger each second. Night was surrounded by pulsations. He began to glow bright blue. He stood up slowly not looking at XANA. Then he turned around to XANA with a face that showed such strength and determination. Let go of her XANA now. "I don't think so Night". His grip grew tighter. Night said "That was your final warning". Night had warped in lest than a second to behind XANA without him even realizing it. "Now, you die". He punched XANA to the floor and focusing all his energy into a beam of light. "Now die, XANA". He pointed his hands at XANA and he was instantly obliterated into ashes. Aelita hurry into the tower, I don't know how much longer Lyoko can stay stable.

Aelita reached the tower in mere seconds with Lyoko splitting apart. "Aelita hang on this is going to be a bumpy ride" said Jeremie as he began to type in the code. A bright flash appeared around Aelita as she levitated above a platform. "Code Earth".

Mean while outside. its finally done Aelita is safe and XANA will soon be completely gone so he can never hurt another soul again. XANA jumped form behind Night and with all of his energy he blasted the tower into the sky. He looked at Night as he began to devirutaulized into nothing. Night had no where else to go and get out. He looked around and saw the ground corrupting into nothing but bare data. He looked up and began to scream "No"! Then Lyoko shut down and permanently. They all rushed downstairs to see I the two had made it back ok. When they arrived they saw no scanners had been activated or open. Suddenly a door opened. Jeremie crossed his fingers hoping that Aelita had been devirutaulized properly. When the doors opened Aelita laid of the floor. She looked up at Jeremie who had been waiting so long for here to arrive in his world. "Wait we almost forgot about Night." Said Yumi. They checked every scanner for Night but there was no sign of him anywhere. "Do you think he made it out in time Jeremie" asked Aelita. "I don't know Aelita, I don't know". They all began to walk to the elevator thinking that Night the person that had help them defeat XANA and helped virtualize Aelita correctly had really died saving Aelita. Before they could hit the button to head up a scanner door opened. "Do you guys really think im going out that easily"? They all looked back and saw Night limping all cut up and bruised form the fight with XANA. Ulrich and Yumi rushed over to get him before he fell down. He was in such bad shape that he needed intensive care immediately. He looked up at Aelita smiling so cheerfully. And then fell peacefully unconscious.
