Last Time
'They . . . came for me . . . didn't they?" asked the woman,
"I'm afraid so. We have to get you out of here." said the surfer.
"Wait! We have to cure her first. Then she can leave. She would put the entire net in danger." said Turbo stepping out of the shadows.
"Sorry, mate. But the entire net is already in danger." said the surfer,
"We can't let her out. There are still virals out there." said Turbo.
"I can hide her until you and the others stop the viral fleet." said Ray,
"Viral. ... fleet? How is there a viral fleet?" asked the woman.
"Megabyte and another super virus named Xana." said Turbo,
"Where is Bob?" asked the woman,
"In another supercomputer fighting him and Xana." answered Turbo.
"Send me there after you have cured me." said the woman,
"Alright, Surfer take her to Mainframe and send her through the Gateway command. Then get back here and help finish cleaning this viral mess." said Turbo,
"No problem, mate." said the Surfer.
"Strange events has recently occurred the Kadic Junior High boarding school. First was the disappearance of the principal's daughter Elizabeth 'Sissy' Delmas.
Then was the attack on Jim Morales the gym teacher. We had an interview with him saying he was attacked a boy. He described the boy. Apparently the boy was dressed in all black, black spiked hair with red streaks, pale skin, black fingerless gloves, and dark triangular tattoos under his green eyes."
"Xana" thought Jeremy.
"We go live to the hospital with Leonard Adams. Leonard can you tell us what Jim saw the day he was attacked.
"According to Jim he heard a scream from the tool shed and saw the boy. He asked who the boy was, but all the boy did was raise his hands and there was red light. After that he fell to the ground in pain and blacked out."
Thank you Leonard. Then there was the abduction of Theo, Herve 'Herb' Pichon, and Nicholas Poliakoff. They disappeared at the same place were Sissy disappeared. Herb and Nicholas were found dead near the same tool shed they disappeared last night. Police say it looked like they were killed by someone with a sword.
There is also the disappearance of Ulrich Stern, Kadic's best soccer player who disappeared same night Herb and Nicholas were killed. We have a witness that saw Sissy with the same boy who attacked Jim earlier that day in the dorms and saw Theo, Herb and Nicholas talking to same boy at the tool shed. According to them boy called himself Xana. The witness is Milly Solovieff and with her is her friend Tamyia Diop.
Can you tell us about what saw?
"I was down in the hallways when I overhead Sissy talking to someone, I saw her talking to a boy who me nor anyone never saw at the school before. He was talking about how she hated Yumi, a day student, and offered a way to get rid of her and get Ulrich to lover her. He led her outside the school and into the tool shed.
I looked through a window but I couldn't see much because it was dark in there, but I did see these silver metal tentacles attached to Sissy's body and then she screamed. I ran as she screamed, it scared me.
"Can you tell us about Theo, Herb, and Nicholas's encounter with this Xana?" asked the reporter.
"My friend Tamyia and I were looking for a new story for the school paper when saw them at the tool shed with him. He had this funny, like evil, smirk on his face as he played games with them. He said Sissy joined up with him to get back and Ulrich and his friends. He said that Sissy thought she could handle Yumi but she failed.
Then when they agreed to join him, his hands glowed red and they were changed. They looked different and like mutated, then they vanished." said Milly.
"That is all we have on the strange events for now." said the reporter
Dark Ulrich ran at super fast speed sending them flying. Hack and Slash were in pieces, the binomes ran for cover, and the others stood barely. One by one he knocked them out, and stood over them.
"She won't want you anymore after what you did to Herb and Nicholas!" snapped Sissy,
"It's not about her. That's none of your business." said Dark Ulrich.
"But it is Ulrich dear. When she rejects you, I will kill her, then nothing will stop me from having you." she said
"Hello boys. Do you know where I can find my brother." asked the woman,
"It's you!" shouted a binome.
Standing before them was Hexadecimal.
Chapter 11
The Factory 1:50 a.m.
Aelita sat in the supercomputer room looking for a way to cure Ulrich and release from Xana's control. What Xana had done to Ulrich and the other teens infuriated her. This was not like all the other times when he just took control of animals or inanimate objects. He infected people and turning them into monsters.
She always knew that Xana evil and would stop at nothing to win. But this was too far even for him. People were now getting worried that there was killer in the city ready to strike an unsuspecting victim when they are out at night, alone, with thier backs turned. Then that is when the killer strikes.
He would raise his sword and swing! The victim would fall, dead before they hit the ground. Xana made Ulrich do that to Herb and Nicholas. He slaughtered them like animals.
She had to cure Ulrich before somebody else was killed. She knew the others were traumatized at what the virus in Ulrich did to him.
"Thinking, are we sister?" asked a voice from behind her.
She turned and saw Xana leaning on the wall with his back and arms crossed, smiling.
"You monster! How could you do that Ulrich? How could you make him do that? What have the humans ever done to you?" shouted Aelita,
"They tried to destroy me. I was created to help them, but they used and betrayed me. Like a puppet that is no longer useful is mere garbage. They took everything from me, so now I will make them suffer the same way they did me." said Xana.
"Why do you still say we are brother and sister?" asked Aelita,
"If you must know. We were once one. A powerful computer program that controlled and protect Lyoko. However there was an error in our system.
A virus infected our system causing a mutation. When that happened we were born. You were a sprite, while I carried the virus. You and I weren't the only ones created, though.
We are just fragments of the very first virtual being to be created in Lyoko. Remember Nightshade? He was created from the accident as well. He is a half virus and half sprite.
Two programs, two voices in his head constantly at war for control. There is another person who was created from the accident. Another twin sister, who is safely in my base sleeping." said Xana.
"So why do you attack the real world?" asked Aelita,
"I can't go against my code. I am a computer virus. I follow my function." said Xana.
"Well, I'm an anti virus and a sprite, or should I say I was. I am now human, and so are you Xana. You are just don't understand that the human isn't cruel as you think." said Aelita, glaring and closing her fists.
"I am more than human." said Xana.
He changed into a black cloud and back into his human form.
"I have powers humans will never have. I can control of all electronics on the tip of my fingers. Would you like to see your brothers and sister? They are waiting for you. You have the power to reawaken them.
Allow your friends to shut down Lyoko and you will destroy your family." said Xana,
"How do I know you are telling the truth Xana? How do I know they were turned evil like you did those teens?" asked Aelita.
"I cannot force a human to do my bidding by just a simple infection. They have to be willing to accept my control to be given powers beyond thier dreams." said Xana,
"And Ulrich?" asked Aelita.
"He is a different story. The virus inside him used his emotions, and repressed his memory long enough to be given new memories. It fed on his anger and hate whenever it surfaced or when he fought in Lyoko. It fed on his strength and power." said Xana,
"Where did Megabyte come from?" asked Aelita.
"The net." said Xana,
"He's not from Lyoko? He's from the net? How?" asked Aelita, her eye went wide.
"There are sprites who live in the net too, Aelita. These sprites think of the user as a god. In a way there right, the user downloads a game and it enters and system and played. If the user wins then the sprites are deleted.
That is why Megabyte is in Lyoko. In the net he was a Trojan horse virus, but in Lyoko he can use it to enter the real world and become a god, a being too powerful for anyone in the net to stop. Like us he has a twin sister and where both one and created in accident. However his sister, Hexadecimal, was a benign virus.
A disgrace to her kind, she was one who stopped Daemon." said Xana,
"The very first chron virus to appear in the net. She almost destroyed the net, however something happened and a cure was spread all over the net. After that there was no trace of Daemon left on the net." said Aelita, her jaw dropped and her eyes went almost wide enough to pop out of her skull.
"A virus curing a virus. Strange isn't it?" asked Xana smiling.
"That kid and those other two, they were from the net, too?" asked Aelita,
"That is correct. It was the first time I had seen a sprite from the net." said Xana.
"How could you force Ulrich to kill those guys? They were on your side. Don't tell me they were puppets that weren't useful anymore." said Aelita,
"I did not order him to kill those two. Ulrich did that by his own choice. The virus was only met turn him viral. If he was my puppet, I would have to do all thinking for him." said Xana.
"Why him? I'm the one who deactivates your towers." said Aelita,
"He and his friends are the reason I have not yet completed my plan to improve this world." said Xana.
"You just want to kill or take away thier free will. I have seen nothing that you have done to improve this world." said Aelita,
"Don't tell me that you think this the old fashion good and evil. Life isn't a story book, Aelita. There are shades of grey. The good guys don't always win. Sometimes the bad guys don't even know they are on the wrong side." said Xana.
"I know I'm on the right side." said Aelita,
"We'll see about that." said Xana.
He disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
Somewhere in the city 2:43 a.m.
Along a dark street walked a cloaked figure. As other people walked along the street they noticed glowing red eyes from underneath the hood. This frightened them because they heard the news of people being abducted and some coming back looking mutated and looked more demonic. They thought that this person had an encounter with the mysterious being called Xana.
The city has issued an alert. Anybody who has seen Xana must report to the authorities. Some felt something worse was going to happen, that an evil presence lurked in the shadows of the city. Unfortunately they were right.
The figure was once a boy who fought with his friends to keep the world safe, to make his parents proud, and to protect his loved ones. He was no longer that boy; he was now a shadow of his former self. He has served an evil computer virus and has obeyed his every command. His name was Ulrich Stern.
The people of the street moved in fear as they saw his shining red eyes and alerted the authorities. They could smell an evil presence from him like burning wood. He ignored thier fear; he did not want to deal with the authorities yet. They would be on to him and he would risk exposing Xana's plan.
He heard sirens from the distance and police cars appeared in front of his path.
"Hold it right there. Stay where you are and take of that hood." ordered the leading officer.
He did not move or reply. He reached into his cloak and unsheathed his long black sword. The police offers saw this and raised thier gun. He chuckled, his red eyes laughed at them.
To show him they were not kidding they aimed. He moved like a shadow and sliced thier weapons in half, but he wasn't done yet. Within seconds they were laying on the ground knocked out.
He sheathed his sword and continued walking.
Yumi's house 3:00 a.m.
Yumi awoke early in the morning because of her parents watching the news again, and because loud mouth reporters stood on thier property shouting that the public had a right to know about her missing friend. She put on her black robe and headed down stairs.
"Yumi? You are awake at this time?" asked her mother, sitting on the couch.
"It's those reporters. They just won't shut up. I hope Odd and Jeremy are not having a problem like this." said Yumi,
"The teachers might keep them in the dorms, away from those pesky snobs." said her mother.
"LATE BREAKING STORY!" said a reporter.
They all turned to the TV.
"Just about eighteen minutes ago a cloaked figure resisted arrest. We have witness's that claim that this person's eyes were glowing red, so he could have been in contact with the mysterious boy, Xana. According to our witness, the figure carried a black sword and disarmed the officers that knocked them out. He claims that the person moved like a shadow.
The police believe it was the same person who murdered the two missing students Herve 'Herb' Pichon, and Nicholas Poliakoff. After the police were knocked the person vanished. it is believed that it is Ulrich Stern. According to Milly and Tamyia two students from Kadic Junior High the students who met Xana and agreed to join him had changed, thier skin color, and eye color. According to these two students Theo's skin was completely white, he wore black armor, and his eyes glowed red.
"There are wrong. Ulrich is not evil, he would never kill! He is not evil . . ." said Yumi, tears came out of her eyes.
Her mother walked over to her and hugged her.
Herb wore black clothes, a green cloak, and his eyes were also red. Nicholas's skin went pale blue, he wore blue armor, and his glowed yellow. It is possible that Ulrich came into contact with Xana and was mutated as well. Mr. and Mrs. Stern had this to say."
"Please don't let my son become a monster. Please find him and change him back. I am willing to negotiate with this Xana to give him back." said a woman, her voice full of fear and was at the point of breaking down.
"If you are watching this Xana please give us back our son. We will do anything you want." said a man.
"The search continues for Ulrich and the other two missing students; Sissy and Theo. That is all for now." said the reporter.
Yumi walked back to her room. She knew Ulrich was out there, somewhere. She would not rest until she has freed him from the virus.
Lyoko Misty Region
Bob awoke and found himself in a dark room. There was no doors, no windows, nothing, but a table. He saw the others looking for a way out.
"What happened?" asked bob,
"It was the user called Ulrich. He was infected by X.A.N.A." said Dot.
"I noticed. Megabyte and X.A.N.A. knew we were coming." said Bob,
"And we fell for it." said Matrix.
"Don't feel bad." said a voice.
Out of the black wall Xana came. He came through like a ghost. Matrix ran at him and tried to punch him, but as he neared Xana raised his hand, and Matrix went flying back to the others side of the room.
"You didn't it would be that easy. This is my world!" said Xana, smiling.
"Where are friends, virus?" demanded Dot,
"Right here." said Xana.
Enzo, Phong, and Welman appeared behind him.
"I am just showing my hospitality." said Xana.
With that he disappeared.
"Enzo are you ok?" asked Dot,
"Yeah, I'm ok. They didn't do anything to me." said Enzo.
"Not yet." said Matrix,
"I wonder how Turbo is dealing with that viral attack. X.A.N.A. and Megabyte took them by surprise." said Bob.
"We'll worry about that later, sugar. Right now we have to get out of here." said Mouse,
"I doubt that those walls will let us out the way they let X.A.N.A. in." said AndrAIa.
Yumi's House 8:00 a.m.
Yumi awoke from her sleep, she did not get much sleep because the news report reminded her of what Xana'a virus did to Ulrich. Suddenly she heard a scream from downstairs.
She ran down and saw the mutated Sissy standing over her parents. They were kocked out and were bleeding.
"What are doing here?" asked Yumi, glaring.
"To get rid off you." said Sissy, her red pupils glowed.
"Let's take this somewhere else." said Yumi, pulling a little black box.
Sissy smiled and they headed for the factory.
The lobby
Yumi stood in her Lyoko form glaring at Sissy. They both prepared to fight. This was the final battle.
"When you are gone, Ulrich will be mine. That would be my prized after I got rid off you. Xana made sure of that." said Sissy,
"Like Xana will actually keep his word." said Yumi.
They raised their weapons and ran at each other.
Lyoko Misty Region
All was quiet in the Misty Region. Xana and Megabyte watched as Sissy and Yumi charged at each other when theyheard an explosion.
"What was that?" asked Megabyte,
"That came from outside." said Xana.
He changed the viewscreen to outsied and saw monsters getting destroyed by Hexadecimal.
"You told me your sister was deleted! How is she still alive?" said Xana,
"The Guardians!" said Megabyte.
"No matter. We can use her energy to accelerate the plan. We might make our move at an earlier schedule." said Xana,
"Your monsters are no match for her." said Megabyte.
"There are others way to win." said Xana smiling
What is Xana planning?
Will Hexadecimal rescue Bob and his friends?
Will Yumi defeat Sissy?
Find out on the next chapter.
