Part 7: Rebirth

It was late at Night in Jeremie's room. Aelita had woken up by a startling noise that seemed to be coming from outside. She took off the covers of the bed and got up. She looked beside her and noticed that Jeremie was not sleeping in the other bed adjacent to her. She looked out side of the window straight down for anything that could cause a noise such as that. She saw Night downstairs sitting in front of Jeremie as Jeremie typed on his laptop about a few feet in front of Night. She quickly snagged the robe on the side of her bed (F.Y.I. the robe was given by Night to Jeremie and from Jeremie to Aelita). She walked downstairs holding her robe so it would not fall off as she walked down the stairs. She stepped in front of the door to the dormitories. She quietly opened the door and slowly walked out. "She walked over right behind Jeremie who was still typing on the computer. "Up late I see Jeremie". Jeremie looked up at Aelita's smiling face as it beamed a smile back at his sleepy face. "Oh hello Aelita how did you sleep" asked Jeremie. "Fine Jeremie, thank you for asking. But Jeremie I came down here to find out what was making that strange noise that was coming through the window". "Oh that's just Night meditating. He always makes that noise when he's meditating". Aelita looked up at Night who simply sat there with his eyes open in a complete daze. Aelita stood back up and took a seat next to Jeremie. Night got up and said "Im going to bed now I've meditated enough for tonight, good night you two, don't stay up to late". Night opened the door and entered. Aelita leaned over putting her head on Jeremie's shoulder as they sat under the full moon.

Next day at school. Everyone was outside of class waiting for the bell to ring. Nights watch began to shot out sparks from left to right. "Hey Night what's with you watch" asked Jeremie. "I have no clue it's been doing that ever since I came back from Lyoko". "Hey Ulrich can I keep it in your locker for the rest of the day it might cause a problem if I keep with its random outbursts". "Sure Night no problem". Night ran down the hall as fast as he could try to beat the school clock to the bell. He reached Ulrich's locker where he quickly picked his locker and threw his watch into. Night closed the door ran back to class. The day continued with still no XANA attacks with his recent shutdown. Except for the time at lunch when Odd made that comment about sissy's new skirt she just bought which he was brutally slapped for. Everyone was leaving school for there rooms until. Night stopped walking and said "Oh wait I forgot my watch ill be right back in a sec". Night ran through the front doors down the hall. Night zoomed past Jim who was cleaning the floors as the janitor was absent that day. Jim fell down from the recent rush from Night; he raised his hand into the air saying "HEY! Watch where you're going". Night arrived at Ulrich's locker which he practically ripped open. On upon opening the locker he was powerfully thrown pack against the wall cracking the wall. Night raised his body up and stood in front of the locker looking at his watch. The watch began to levitate inside of the locker. Then a XANA symbol appeared on the center of the watch. It sprouted little insect legs and began to scurry down the hall. Night ran after it trying to catch it or destroy it. He pounced onto the floor trying to step on the watch but it was far to fast for him to catch. XANA made his way to the computer lab. He used Nights laser to slice through the door. Night came right fork behind bursting through the door. He quickly spotted the watch sitting on top of a nearby computer. Before he could react he was trusted through the wall and ended up outside under a pile of ruble. XANA began to glow. He sprouted tentacles that began to disassemble each computer at a rapid rate. Night got up but when he looked back he saw that Xana had forged all of the computers into a robot that stood about 5 feet tall. Night ran towards the robot to try to break it but it quickly grabbed him and threw him to the other side of the room. He then bolted out of the half destroyed room. He ran towards the woods and disappeared with out a trace. Night got up from the ruble of the destroyed wall that he was thrown into. He looked around and thought to himself that if the faculty found him at the site of this massive wreckage then there going to have a fit and they will ask questions of how I could have done this and I couldn't tell them about XANA so Night just ran into the woods to try to escape so he could get to Jeremie to tell him of the recent events. Night took out his cell phone and dialed Jeremie.

Jeremie was in his room typing on his computer trying to finish his homework with Aelita sitting next to him. Jeremie's phone began to ring. Jeremie reached for the phone but Aelita grabbed and answered it before he could even touch it. She said "Hello" in and average voice. "Aelita put Jeremie on its urgent" said Night as he panted running through the woods. She gave the phone to Jeremie and said "Jeremie it's for you, its Night". Jeremie picked up the phone and said "Oh hey Night what's going on". Jeremie leaned back and got comfortable. Then he burst forward in fear once Night told him that XANA had been brought back and what he had just done to the school. "Ok Night lets meet at the factory as soon as possible". "Ok, Night out". In no time everyone was at the factory waiting for night to show up. "Where is he it's not like him to show up so late" said Odd. "He said he had to do something first before he came her". The elevator came down with Night in the center panting for air. "Ok im here guys". Night walked over to them. He stopped and sat down on the floor facing them. "As you all very well now know is that XANA has been reactivated and he's now wondering around the school". "So what are we suppose to do, huh" said Yumi. "I don't really know Yumi he's far to strong for me to take down in the real world and with my watch's technology it's practically impossible for him to be stopped". Suddenly Odd's cell phone rang and he quickly turned away. "Hello" said Odd. A scream came out of the phone. It was Jessica. "Odd please help me im trapped in my room with some crazy robot outside of my door trying to break inside". She gave another scream into the phone as the sound of the robot banging the door ran through the room. Odd hung up and said "Jessica's in trouble XANA is trying to get to her right now. We have to save her". Everyone ran out and took the tunnel to the school yard.

When they arrived at the school it had been over taken by police that blocked everyone from entering the building. "Now how are we supposed to get in" said Odd. Night walked over to a police officer. "Hey you stop right there". Night waved his hand over the police officers face and said "We are allowed to go inside". The police officer responded "Yes... you... can". Ok guys lets go'. They rushed into the building watching out for anything that XANA might pull off. They came up to the floor in which Jessica had been staying on. They came to a halt once they saw XANA trying to break open the door. Ulrich, Odd and Night charge at XANA pinning him against the wall. Odd looked back and shouted "Get Jessica out now". Yumi ran to the door opening it. She entered the room and saw Jessica on the floor cowering. She came over and lifted her up. "Jessica are you alright". "Yes". They both got up and ran out the door down the stairs. XANA looked down the hall gazing at Aelita. Hey pushed Night, Ulrich and Odd away and began to run down the hall. He said in a mechanical voice "Aelita". Night got up and looked down at the floor. He saw a cord on the floor which was connected to XANA. He quickly stepped on the cord which stopped XANA by a hair from getting his hand on Aelita throwing him back towards Night. Night jumped up and kicked XANA down into the floor sending him all the way down into the first floor. Odd and Ulrich got up and asked hey where's XANA. Night pointed down at XANA who laid completely motion less on the floor. XANA slowly got up with Ulrich and Odd watching him. He jumped out of the dormitories and headed for the faculty parking. He sprouted tentacles again and began to disassemble all of the faculty's cars absorbing all of the car parts inside. Once he was finished he became a robot that stood over 30 feet tall. XANA shouted as much as he could "F...ACT...OR.Y". He began to march forward destroying all obstacles in his way. Cars and broken sidewalk flew left and right as he continued to march. Night began to run behind XANA's path of destruction. "He turned his head screaming "what are you waiting for we have to get XANA".

They arrived at the Factory where XANA stood in front of staring at so sinisterly. "Why isn't he doing anything" said Yumi as they looked at XANA simply standing without a single motion. "I got it" said Night. Night snatched Jeremie's laptop strait form his hand and ran over to a fire hydrant. Using his powers he focused them onto a nearby fire hydrant. The lid of the fire hydrant flew of into the air and a large powerful rush of water came spewing out form the side. Night held Jeremie's laptop over the side of the water. The water flew upward at XANA. As soon as the water hit XANA he began to short out with sparks and pieces of the objects he absorbed into him flying out. "Odd hold this for me". Odd came running over with Jessica behind him. He grabbed the laptop and continued to direct water at XANA. Night charged at XANA at full speed. He leaped upward and grabbed onto XANA's back and began to climb up faster than lightning to the top of XANA. He crawled over the side and tired to grab his watch from the center of XANA but before he could tentacles sprouted from XANA. Night jumped back dodging the tentacles. They came after him trying to kill him. The came form all sides but still night used his power to dodge them left and right. XANA quickly spotted Odd and Jessica who still stood directing water at him. He threw a punch directly at them until Night used his powers to rip XANA's arm off. The arm came flying down hitting the water flooding out the road. Night stood there on XANA's shoulder looking down. Until a tentacle struck his arm which threw him off of XANA. He flew threw the air for a few seconds before he came to a screeching halt by the ground. XANA wasted no time; he quickly opened the roof throwing onto the street. He began to dig into the factory looking for something. He pulled out three scanners and XANA's old computer where he was kept. He placed them near his body and absorbed them. The scanners went into his chest and the computer onto his head. He looked back and saw Aelita who stood next to Jeremie who just picked up his laptop. Jeremie looked up and saw XANA. He quickly grabbed Aelita and ran opposite him down the road. XANA turned and walked down after them. The paramedics came soon after XANA went off after Jeremie and Aelita. The rushed out a few seconds after arriving, they surrounded Night with a few paramedics. Night had his right arm holding his left arm which was broken in four places. They took out a whole punch of tools getting close to Night but before they could Night awoke and pushed them away. He got up taking his right arm and cracking it. It fixed his arm back to normal. He turned back and said "Where's XANA"...
