Everyone who was going to Lyoko for this final time stood by the scanners. Kit and Jeremy sat at the computer, ready to send them there. Jeremy looked down a little, he could vary well be sending his friends to their deaths... not something he cared to do. There was not a choice in the matter, sadly to say. They had to go, they had to do it....... and....... if they might have to die for this........ Jeremy bit his lip hard, letting Kit transfer everyone.

"Ok, Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd get in first,"Kit said, the three got into the scanners. "Down Load Yumi, down load Ulrich, down load Odd, transfer!"

"over here!"Aelita called to them as the three got to Lyoko. It wasn't long before the other two were there as well.

"Aelita, are you ready for this?"Kira asked, looking down. She stood next to odd, wanting to almost cry at what they had gotten themselves into.

"I'll be fine,"She smiled,"we have to do this..."

"Aelita, take this,"David handed her one of his daggers,"it's not much.. but it's better then nothing."

"Thank you... let's get to the tower....."aelita said. The group was in no hurry to get there. They knew the chances of everyone coming back alive were slim to none. Though, each of the males was ready and willing to die for one of the females, and the same could be said for the females.

"Zana........ this is all his fault......... He deserves worse then death!"David said, fists clenched.

"David, we all feel the same way........"Ulrich said, keeping Yumi close.

"Guys....... we're at the tower....."Aelita said, walking in. The rest of the group soon followed.

"Think they miss us at school?"Odd asked.

"Who cares if they did?"David replied. "If we die here it won't matter."

Yumi laughed a little,"you know my parents were a little confused that I told them how much I loved them this morning....... I....... I told them I always would love them..." she started to cry a little, stopping herself almost right away.

"I know what you mean, I called my folks..... They thought something was wrong, though I only told them that I cared a lot for them...."Odd said.

"Yea, same with me......"Ulrich said.

Kira looked down, she wished she had talked to her parents...... As did David and Aelita. It didn't matter now, they would end what was started so long ago now....

"Is everyone ready?"Kira asked, going to the computer part of the tower.

"Ready as I'll ever be,"Yumi said.

"I've been waiting to kill this SOB for a long time...."was david's response.

"I'm ready, I know we're going to win as well."Odd said, smiling. In truth he doubted that fact, he wouldn't let the others know that...

"Let's just get going,"Ulrich said.

"all right,let's-"she started.

"Not so fast,"Matthew said, walking into the tower.

"Matthew?! What do you want?!"Kira cried. Odd went up by her, ready to protect her at all coasts.

"Matthew? He's long gone by now.... if you ever want him back, leave now,"Matthew said.

"Zana! Give him back!"Kira screamed.

"Kira, Kira, Kira.... Still so naïve...."Zana, in Matthew's Lyoko form, jumped up next to her.

"Lazier arrow!" Odd yelled, throwing it at Zana. "Stay away from her!"

Zana laughed,"calm down, the fight hasn't started yet..."he said, pushing Kira off that part of the tower.

"Kira!"Odd yelling jumping after her.

"Hold it, I got her,"Ulrich said, grabbing onto her.

"Thank you Ulrich..."Kira said. She ran over to Odd.

"No, the fight starts when we get to the place of battle. You want to fight me? Fine, so be it."Zana typed in something. "We play on my terms."

The group soon found themselves in a pitch black room.... Aelita, Kira, and David remembered it, far to well. "This, this is where the final fight is......"David said, pulling Aelita closer to himself.

"Guys?! Hello?! Anyone?! What's going on!?"Kit screamed at the computer. Kit and Jeremy had lost contact with the others.

"Zana... you think that will stop me?"Jeremy asked, pushing Kit aside. "Then you don't know me to well." He started to type, trying to fix whatever was making them lose contact with the others.

"Jeremy, can you do it?"Kit asked.

"I'm going to try!"he said,"but, till I do... we'll have to watch their life points." The five players life points were still being shown on the screen. Kit walked behind Jeremy and watched, ready to help in any way possible.

"Where's Odd, Jeremy and Ulrich?"Sissy asked in class. She frowned a little. She didn't like this, it was no between classes,"and Yumi's not here, nor is those other kids they've been hanging around with......."she said.

"Want to find them?"asked a young man, walking over to her."My name's Matthew and I know where you can find them."

"Really?"Sissy asked.

Matthew smiled,"Really, just come with me. I know how you hate Yumi, you can get her out of the way then Ulrich will be all yours."

"Let's go!"Sissy said, following Matthew as he started to walk away.

"It's..... it's so cold........"Kira said, shivering.

"I... I know..."Yumi said,next to her.

"Look! Over there!"David yelled, pointing to a big group of monsters coming over to them. "We'll have to take them out! Everyone, don't get hit!"

They all nodded and ran over to take out the monsters. Aelita stayed next to David, who stopped the attacks from hitting her with his weapon. Aelita used the dagger she had gotten to kill as many monsters as she could, while still staying next to David.

"Odd!"Kira cried, he was hit... By a tank no less.

"I'm fine!"Odd called, killing the tank. He jumped back over to her,"take it easy, I won't die."

"all right...."She said, looking down.

"Yumi!"Ulrich said, pushing her out of the way of a crab's attack.

"No! Ulrich!"She cried.

He got up,"I don't get it...... I'm feeling a lot weaker......."he said.

"That's because this is now your physical form, what ever happens to you here really happens to you." David said.

Yumi stood in front of Ulrich,"I won't let you hurt him!"She yelled, taking out whatever got close.

"Will they ever stop coming?!"Kira asked.

"I don't know, but we have to keep fighting!"David yelled.

"Jeremy, got anything yet?"kit asked.

"Nothing....... wait! Someone's in the scanners!"He yelled.

"What? Who?!"Kit asked.

"I'm not sure..."Jeremy said. Two scanners started up and transferred two people onto Lyoko.

"What do I do know?"Sissy asked. Her character looked like a cheerleader, her pompoms held spikes within them.

"Just come with me,"Matthew said, going into a tower.

"The monsters... they stopped coming....."David pointed out. "Why, why would they just stop coming?"

"Look over there!"Ulrich yelled. In front of them stood Matthew and Sissy.

"Sissy?"odd asked.

"Yes, that's me! I know all about your little secret now! And Yumi, I'm going to kill you on this game and make Ulrich all mine!"Sissy yelled, running at Yumi.

"sissy! If someone dies here, they die in the real world!" Yumi cried, doing her best to to dodge what Sissy was doing.

"I know! And I will kill you!"She yelled.

Matthew laughed,"yes Sissy... kill her, win back Ulrich!"

"Zana!"Ulrich yelled, running at him. Soon, a cage of utter darkness came around him. "What's going on?!"

"can't let anything happen to you know.... I mean, then my little Sissy wouldn't kill Yumi." Zana said, with a smile.

"Zana, I stopped you once, and I can do it again!"Aelita said, starting to walk to him.

"No, you had be take a nap. Nothing more little Aelita. Though, I must say that I've become vary hateful towards you, and now you die." Zana said , calmly. He ran over to her.

"No!"David yelled, pushing Aelita out of the way and getting hit by Zana's attack. He winced, feeling great pain.

"Fine, I'll kill you first,"Zana said, shoving his sword through David's chest.

"DAVID!!!!!!"Aelita screamed. She watched as his body started to fade away. "NO!! Don't go!!!!!!! Don't leave me!!!!!!!"

"David.... no..."Kit said, looking down.

"Sissy's there? This isn't good.... and... we've had our first death........ I pray there are no more,"Jeremy said. He was still working as hard as he could to get the audio back up with them. Now, he only feared the worst.

"Jeremy, we have to get back able to talk with them,"Kit said.

"I know we do, I know."

"Sissy! Stop it!"Yumi yelled, getting hit with a pompom. She winced in pain. "If you want to kill me, I can't let you do that!"She yelled, throwing her fan and attacking back. Ulrich could only watch, he tried to brake out of the cage. He found it to no use what so ever. He knew he was stuck, but didn't want to admit it.

"Zana,"Kira said, pulling her bow out. "I can not forgive you for killing David, nor can I for taking Matthew away from me!"she yelled, firing it at him.

Zana let it hit him, with a smile. "Oh yes, keep up at it. Maybe you'll do something one of these times." Kira gasped, starting to think of whatever it would take to kill Zana off. Even if that meant killing Matthew along with him.

"Kira, stay back!"Odd yelled, running over to Zana. He was fighting with all he could. "Aelita, run over by Kira!"

"but... all right..."She said, running over to Kira.

Yumi looked down, as Sissy started to disappear. She couldn't believe she had just killed her. It was true that She didn't like Sissy, but she never wanted to kill her..... "Ulrich.."She said, looking down. The cage that Ulrich was in suddenly started to shrink, faster and faster. It was crushing him. "No! Ulrich!"Yumi cried, running to the cage. She tried whatever she could, but nothing seemed to work for her. She felt tears run down her face,"no........" Ulrich screamed as it got worse. "Zana! Leave him alone!"

"why would I do that?"He asked, while fighting odd.

"NO!!!!!!!!"Yumi screamed as Ulrich started to disappear. She fell to her knees... Ulrich, was dead.............. She glared at Zana, she /would not/ let him get away with what he did to Ulrich...

"Sissy........ Ulrich................"Jeremy said, looking down. The death toll was know three. The score: Zana 3, Us 0.

"I can't believe this!!!!!!!!! how can they win!!!!!!!"Kit cried, falling to the floor in tears. Jeremy felt the computer and sat next to her.

"It's all right, they'll win........"He told her, or die trying....

Yumi charged at Zana, and attacked him with Odd. Yumi then screamed as she was stabbed with the sword. "Yumi!"Odd cried, watching her fall to the ground.

She smiled weakly, starting to disappear,"I'll be with Ulrich........."

"Yumi..........."Aelita said.

"Aelita, you need to concentrate!"Kira told her.

"I know... I know..."

"No! Yumi too!"Jeremy cried. Almost everyone was dead. "Kit........ are you ready to shut him down?"

She looked at him,"I...... we're going to have to, won't we? They can't win........."

"We have to let them try first.......... less their death's be in vein...."

Zana laughed,"then there were three."

"No, it ends here Zana!"Kira yelled, drawing another arrow.

"It didn't work last time, why would it now?

"Their death's needn't be in vain! Yumi.... Ulrich..... David..........."she said, looking down,getting ready to fire.

"Like I'll let you hit me with it."Zana said.

Odd held onto Zana, making sure he couldn't move. Aelita ran over, helping as well. Kira smiled a little, crying. "It ends now!" she fired the arrow. It went through Zana, killing him..... The arrow had all of the dead's power within it... Kira looked at Odd, dyeing from getting hit with the blast as well. Aelita was barley alive... Kira smiled, it was over now.......... everything was over..........

"They won........."Kit said, looking down. "But at a horrible coast."

"No, wait...."Jeremy said, smiling. A bright light came over them...

"Well, happy school's starting?"Jeremy asked, smiling.

"What? How? I.. I though we.. didn't we die?"Yumi asked.

Jeremy smiled,"notice what date it is?"

"The day you all first went to Lyoko. Lyoko's gone now, never to come back."Aelita said. She ran over and hugged Jeremy.

"Matthew..."Kira said.

"Kira, I'm sorry........ I know I've hurt you so much......."he said.

"No, it's not your fault, we can live our lives now..... no more Zana, no more Lyoko, no more monsters......."Kira said, smiling.

"Yes,that's right......"Odd said, walking by Kira.

"Let's live our lives now!"Kit said.

"Yea!"they all agreed.

"Fools, all of them. They can't just kill me.......... I'm still here, only now I don't need lyoko to do my work.......... I can do it here........."Sissy laughed. She had on a necklace with the Zana symbol on it. She smiled, walking to her room. The real game had just started....

Well, that ends the truth about Lyoko. Be on the look out of the second part of this. It'll be called, Starting over with bigger problems.
