Lord Maximus: I don't own Code Lyoko or Reboot.

Relita, Sheena, Alex, Max, Elsa, Ana, and Chaos are mine. Nightshade is shared by me and Flesheater777.

The Core


Last time

"Jeremy, come in." said Relita,

"What is it, Relita?" asked Jeremy's voice.

"We have trouble. Call the others." said Relita,

"Alright." said Jeremy.

Soon the Lyoko gang was in Jeremy's dorm as Relita appeared on Jeremy's computer.

"So what is the problem, Relita? Has Xana finally shown himself or are there monsters attacking again?" asked Odd,

"Not Xana or the monsters. It's Delita." said Relita.

"Delita, this can't be good. After Xana, she is the most powerful virus in Lyoko." said Yumi,

"I sensed her for a second. I think she and Xana have made their move." said Relita.

"You know your job. Cause a distraction while my monsters recover what I need to initiate my plan." said Xana,

"I will not fail." said Dark Aelita, bowing.

Spare me your jokes and tell us where your brother is." said Bob.

"Or you'll do what?" asked Delita,

"Do you really want to know?" asked Matrix.

"You would lose your only chance to get your revenge for the destruction of your dear sister, Dot." said Delita,

"Don't ever say her name, virus!" snapped Matrix.

Delita smiled as she knew she struck a nerve. This is getting good. She decided to take to the next level.

"Oh, is little Enzo Matrix getting mad? Go ahead, shoot me. After all, all you know is how to use a gun on a virus. Maybe after you're gone I will go torture your dear sweet AndrAIa.

I'll torture until she wishes that she is deleted, then I'll grant her wish." said Delita, smiling.

"Excuse me, but do any of you know what this place is?" asked the dark haired boy,

"Sorry, but I have no idea." said the blonde haired boy.

"Neither do I." said the girls,

"Perhaps I can tell where you are." said an electronic voice.

'Who are you?" asked the brown haired girl,

"I am Chaos." said the voice.

"This is going to sound strange, but who are we?" asked the dark haired boy,

"You are my creations. You were created out of kids who hide a great secret. In a way they are your parents." said Chaos.

"We are clones?" asked the blonde haired boy,

"Indeed. You have your father's intelligence." said Chaos.

"Why have you created us?" asked the dark haired boy,

"Do destroy your parents. They have gotten in mine and my partners way of creating a new world order." said Chaos.

"Who are you?" asked Ulrich,

"We are clones of you created by Chaos." said the dark haired boy.

"Yes and it created us from your DNA." said the brown haired girl,

"But you don't look like us." said Odd.

"I am Logan and I and my sister Kimono were created from the DNA of Ulrich and Yumi." said the dark haired boy,

"I am Andrew and I was created from the DNA of Jeremy and Aelita." said the blonde haired boy.

"I am Taylor and I was created from the DNA of Odd and Sam." said the dark haired girl,

"So are we your parents or something?" asked Odd.

"In a way, yes." said Andrew.

"Welcome back, Sissy. You know your purpose." said Xana,

"Yes master." said Sissy.


Chapter 5

Lyoko

Shadow Region

Nightshade and Elsa ran towards the entrance of the Shadow Temple, as they ran they fought numerous monsters that appeared out of nowhere. They sensed a presence in there and were going to find out who was there. They appeared at the entrance, as they walked in a force field that was used to protect the temple vanished. When it vanished they sensed who it was.


Lyoko

Mountain Region

Lyoko sprite's fortress

Relita gasped as she opened her eyes and lost balance. Mouse noticed this and grabbed before she fell.

"Something wrong, honey?" asked Mouse,

"I sense him." said Relita, in a shocked voice.

"Who?" asked Mouse,

"Xana." said Relita.

AndrAIa and Ray walked and heard what Relita had just said. They ran to her as she stood.

"You sense Xana?" asked AndrAIa,

"Yes. He is at the Shadow Region. Inside the Shadow Temple." said Relita.

"We better and get him before he escapes. No doubt with the barrier gone he will be detected by Jeremy and Bob." said Max, walking in.

"It's strange. Xana is not even trying to hide. He must be making his move." said Relita,

"Then we'll make our move." said Ray.

"I'll contact Jeremy." said Max,

"We'll be on our way to the Shadow Region." said AndrAIa.


Kadic Junior High

It was now Sunday and the clones created by Chaos were now enrolled at the school. As they unpacked Jeremy's laptop started beeping. He looked at it and gasped.

"What is it, Jeremy?" asked Ulrich,

"Xana's come out of hiding. He is in the Shadow Region and so are Nightshade and Elsa." said Jeremy.

"He's finally shown himself after a week. He has some nerve." said Yumi,

"We better hurry and get him." said Odd.

"You mind telling who is this Xana?" asked Logan,

"You don't know Xana?" asked Aelita.

"The only reason we were created for was kill you. Chaos never mentioned Xana." said Kimono,

"We'll explain on the way." said Jeremy.

They ran out of the dorm and met Jim.

"What's going on?" asked Jim,

"Xana's been spotted." said Jeremy.

"Okay. I'll lead you to the park so no kids get suspicious. Your gang is getting bigger every day." said Jim,

"Thanks Jim." said Jeremy.

"No problem, and call me Jimbo." said Jim.

They smiled and Jim led them to the manhole without any trouble.

"Hurry and get back here for dinner or else they will give you tofu. Tonight is the only night you can have pizza." said Jim,

"Let's go!" shouted Odd.

"We're going, Odd. You can have your pizza when we get back." said Yumi, holding a laugh.

"Was I really created from his DNA?" asked Taylor,

"I wish I knew." said Ulrich.

They entered the manhole and headed for the factory.


The Factory

"We'll stay here and keep an eye on the situation. Chaos could try something while you are in Lyoko fighting Xana." said Logan,

"Agreed." said Jeremy.

Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi entered the scans and the doors closed.

"Transfer Ulrich."

"Transfer Odd."

"Transfer Yumi."

"Scanner Ulrich."

"Scanner Odd."

"Scanner Yumi."

"Virtualization."

The scans opened, Jeremy and Aelita entered them, and the doors closed as the scans hummed to life again.

"Transfer Jeremy."

"Transfer Aelita."

"Scanner Jeremy."

"Scanner Aelita."

"Virtualization."


Lyoko

Shadow Region

Shadow Temple

They appeared outside the temple as Nightshade and Elsa appeared at the entrance. Bob and Matrix appeared on their zip boards and soon AndrAIa and the others appeared.

"Hey Elsa, is that Nightshade with you?" asked Yumi, noticing Nightshade without his shroud.

"Yes, it is me." said Nightshade, smiling.

Even though his eyes were glowing red orbs, there was no evil in them.

"So this is where Xana is hiding?" asked Odd,

"Yes." said a voice.

Out of shadows appeared Xana, smiling as his bright green eyes were the only light in the dark tunnel.

"It's payback time for what you did to my sister, virus!" shouted Matrix,

"We'll see about that." said Xana.

Suddenly eight spider legs came out of Xana's back, his body parts stretched, his hands were now claws, and tentacles came out of his back with the spider legs. His eyes turned into two pairs of glowing red eyes.

"When could Xana do that?" asked Odd,

"Don't know." said Ulrich.

"It's not the real Xana." said Relita,

"What?" asked Matrix.

"It's just a monster made to look like him. Xana was here, but when the barrier dropped he must have escaped and created a copy to fool my senses. However Xana can see and hear us through that monster so in a way we are fighting him." said Relita,

"Do you always have to spoil my surprise, sister?" asked Xana.

"You never had a good sense of humor, brother. Where are you?" asked Relita,

"You'll find out soon enough, just defeat my monster and you'll be given a hint." said Xana.

He whipped his tentacles at them. They all dodged and the ones with long range weapons fired. They had no effect on Xana's monster; his spider legs moved and ran at them with great speed. Ulrich and Jeremy attacked with their weapons, but the monster blocked them with his claws and grabbed them with his tentacles.

Yumi threw her fan and it sliced through the tentacles holding Ulrich and Jeremy. Aelita ran and tried to slice one of the spider legs with her sword, but the monster grabbed her with a tentacle and tossed her to the others.

"You'll have to better than that to beat my monster." said Xana through the monster,

"We are just getting started." said Ulrich.


Location Unknown

Chaos succeeded in hacking into Jeremy's computer and copied a few files. Now it was ready to deal with those traitors personally. Out of one of the six scans near Chaos's computer stepped out a tall man. He wore grey clothes which were partially obscured by the long black trench coat he wore.

His eyes dark grey and he was bald. There were many tattoos on his head.

"I am here and now I will deal with my enemies once for all." said the man.


Lyoko

Shadow Region

Shadow Temple

The Lyoko gang and the others were not doing well against the monster that looked like Xana. They were being knocked into the ground. Xana smirked through the monster, this was too easy.

"Jeremy, it's time to use those upgrades." said Ulrich,

"On it." said Jeremy.

His staff turned into a laptop and then after a few minutes the gang turned in their upgraded Lyoko forms.

"This should be interesting." said the monster,

"Just wait and see, Xana." said Odd.

Ulrich and Jeremy fired energy waves the monster, it dodged, but three of its legs were destroyed. Odd fired his arrows as the monster; it stood back up and whipped its tentacles at him. Yumi threw her fans and used them to create tornado around the monster. Ulrich and Jeremy fired their energy waves again, and this time it hit the monster.

As the waves hit it, it turned into a dark ghostly substance and vanished as the energy waves destroyed it. They looked at the debris. Matrix turned to Relita.

"This at was a total waste of time! If you didn't have to sense the wrong Xana we could have found him and deleted him! You were a lot more help when you were asleep in your brother's base!" shouted Matrix,

"Matrix! Just because Xana tricked us doesn't mean you can take it out on Relita, or the fact that she, Aelita, and the other Lyoko sprites are Xana's siblings!" said AndrAIa.

Matrix grumbled and walked away. AndrAIa looked at Relita apologetically. Relita nodded.

"No offence, AndrAIa, but what do you see in him?" asked Aelita,

"Love can make you do crazy things. Don't worry about him; just let him be alone for a while. If you try to talk you him when he is in bad mood, run and hide." said AndrAIa.

"I guess we are back to square one." said Nightshade,

"But what was Xana doing here in the first place?" asked Elsa.

"That's what we need to know." said Nightshade.


The control room

The clones watched as the gang walked into the Shadow Temple. Suddenly the elevator opened up and a tall man walked in.

"I knew I would find you here." said the man in a chilling voice.

"Who are you?" asked Kimono,

"I am your creator." said the man.

"You're. . ." said Logan,

"Yes, I am Chaos." said the man interrupting.

"How? You are nothing but a computer." said Taylor,

"Thanks to the programmer, Jeremy, I was able to create a human form for myself. The materialization program." said Chaos.

"What do you want?" asked Andrew,

"Just to get rid of you, traitors." said Chaos.

His hands glowed and electricity shot and stunned the clones. They fell to the ground as the electricity shot through their bodies. Chaos smiled.

"Have these clones ever had one of those days when you just feel happy to be alive?" thought Chaos.

He knew what to do with them.


The Island Region

Monsters emerged from the sea as they planned to take over every corner of Lyoko. In front of the monsters was a teenaged girl, she had deep blue hair that reached her shoulders, and blue eyes. She wore a blue dress that went all the way down to her feet and covered them. Her face had light blue make up and she had blue gloves.

She smiled as the monsters came out of the water. They were blue sharks with legs and arms. She opened as she heard the sharks whimper in fear. She turned and saw what they were afraid of.

Xana and his sister Delita walked out of the tropical forest of the island and onto the beach.

"It has been a while, Tsunami." said Xana,

"I knew you would show yourself sooner or later, Xana." said Tsunami.

"Is that any way to greet an old friend? You should thank me for not infecting you when I had the chance." said Xana,

"I would, but I still don't trust. You are a virus and your kind has not kept thier word without a price." said Tsunami.

"I am a virus of my word. If you help me then I will keep my end of the deal." said Xana,

"What do you mean?" asked Tsunami.

"Distract the humans and sprites in Lyoko while I gather the pieces of the orb of Xanadu." said Xana,

"What could it possibly still be of use to you?" asked Tsunami.

"Xanadu has been destroyed, but the power that orb has gained from the battles in Lyoko remain intact. It holds the lives of those whowere given Lyoko powers and were destroyed." saidXana,

"I see where this is going. Alright it's a deal." said Tsunami.

"Good. Shall we discuss this somewhere else?" asked Xana,

"Let's." said Tsunami, smiling.


Location Unknown

Logan opened his eyes find himself in a junkyard. His hands and feet were tied. He looked and saw the others bound as well. It was nearly nightfall and it was getting cold.

He saw a giant robot guarding the entrance; its red glowing eyes watched him and the others carefully. It moved aside as Chaos walked through the entrance. He smiled as the clones tried to sit as best as they could.

"So, you have finally awoken." said Chaos,

"What are you going to do to us?" asked Kimono.

"I am not going to do anything. My pet is." said Chaos.

In flew a giant monster. It looked like a bear with a reptilian tail. It had a raptor's head, its fur was spiky and looked as sharp as a porcupine, and its eyes were glowing red.

"It's feeding time, my pet." said Chaos.

The monster walked towards the clones, slowly. Its tail moved like it had a life of its own, the creature's eyes started hungrily as it moved closer. Suddenly an energy fired and destroyed the monster before it could any closer. The Lyoko gang in their upgraded Lyoko forms apeared and stood in front of the clones.

"Not today, Chaos." said Yumi,

"You have all signed your death warrants." said Chaos.

He disappeared. The Lyoko gang turned and untied the clones.

"It's good thing he only took you to the junkyard behind the factory. He must have thought we would never have defeated Xana's monster." said Jeremy,

"We better hurry and get back to school, I don't want to eat tofu." said Odd.

"Was I really created out of his DNA?" asked Taylor,

"I was jut wondering the same thing." said Yumi.
