The Core


Chapter 6

Ulrich's pov

We had a lot of trouble on our hands lately. Chaos had returned and created clones of us out of our DNA. Logan and Kimono were created out of mine and Yumi's DNA, Taylor was created out of Odd and Sam's DNA, and Andrew was created out of Aelita and Jeremy's DNA. They were meant to kill us, but they rebelled at the last minute. They seemed lost and confused.

We helped them get enrolled at our school. They seemed just like us; well they were created from our DNA. Relita called and said the she finally found Xana. We came to the Shadow Region and met Nightshade and Elsa.

Xana came out of the Shadow Temple as the barrier around it disappeared. Matrix tried to delete him, but it wasn't the real Xana. It was just a monster made to look like him. We had to use our upgraded Lyoko forms to fight the monster.

We searched the Shadow Temple for any clues on Xana's whereabouts, but we found nothing. As if things weren't bad enough, Chaos created a human form for himself and captured the clones while searched the Shadow Temple. We rescued them at the last minute, but now we have got some serious problems. Monsters that have been hiding in Lyoko for a long time have now emerged.

After Xana disappeared they came out and are trying to take over every corner of Lyoko. They were creatures that were hiding in fear of Xana. Now that he has disappeared the monsters have come out. We have a lot of trouble.

The only clue that we have is that Xana has gone to where nobody can hurt him, but it doesn't us much.


Lyoko

Mountain Region

Lyoko sprite's fortress

Relita sat with her eyes closed and sat perfectly still. Xana had tricked them in the Shadow Region with a monster disguised as him, but they shared a mental link so Xana could watch through the monster's eyes, the link was now severed because the monster was destroyed. Unless Xana made another monster that looked like him, she could find him. Suddenly she heard a loud noise and looked up.

It was the Saucy Maure, led by the Crimson Binome, Captain Capacitor. He walked out of the ship.

"Pardon me, my fair lady. But there is a great unrest in the net. The rumor is that Dot was deleted by the virus known as Xana." said the captain,

"I'm afraid the rumors are true. Xana nearly deleted Bob, but Dot pushed him out of the way and took the shot." said Relita.

"That blasted virus! Where is her? Point us in the direction and we'll delete that bloody virus." said the captain

"We don't know where he is. One of his cronies said that he went to where nobody could hurt him." said Relita.

"We'll find him." said the captain.


Shadow Region

Deep in the Shadow Region monsters came surfaced, ready to take over Lyoko.

"We are the most powerful monsters in all of Lyoko. Soon this world will be ours once again." said the black dragon,

"Be careful. Do not underestimate the enemy." said a voice.

The dragon looked down at a tall teenaged girl. She had black hair, and dark eyes. She wore a black sleeveless shirt that hugged her body and black pants. She was slim and had white silky skin. She had black sandals on her feet, and wore black arm length gloves.

"As you wish, my lady." said the dragon.

The dragon gasped and its mouth went wide in horror. The girl turned and saw him. It was Xana, his black clothes made it hard to see, but his bright green eyes and white pale skin was easily spotted. He was a bit different this time; he wore a black zip up hoodie over his black T-shirt.

"So, you have decided to come out of hiding too, Shadow." said Xana,

"I wasn't going to hide forever, Xana." said Shadow.

She looked at him, emotionlessly, while Xana smirked. She would love to wipe it off his face.

"I see that you are now coming out of hiding." said Shadow,

"Just preparing my new plan. I did have a little talk to your sister, Tsunami." said Xana.

Shadow's eyes went wide and then she glared at Xana.

"If you hurt her I'll . . ." said Shadow,

"I did nothing, but offered a proposal." interrupted Xana.

He continued to smirk; Shadow was really getting irritated at him.

"Have you come to offer me the same thing?" asked Shadow,

"You don't even what I have in mind." said Xana.

"I have good idea." said Shadow,

"After all I have done for you and you siblings, you still don't trust me." said Xana, in a fake whining tone.

"Viruses are not something you can trust." said Shadow,

"If you are interested than here is my offer. Help your sister keep the humans of my back and I will reward you with anything you want." said Xana.

This got Shadow's attention.

"I'm listening." said Shadow,

"I have a plan, but it will require your help." said Xana.

"That's the first time I have ever heard you ask for someone else's help." said Shadow,

"If you are not interested than you are against me, and you know what I do to those who are against me." said Xana.

Shadow smiled and nodded.

"Alright, it's a deal." said Shadow.

She walked forward and shook Xana's hand.

"Now let's see if anyone else is interested." said Xana,

"XANA!" shouted a voice.

They turned and saw Matrix and Bob. They both a looks if hate on thier faces.

"So you finally found me." said Xana, smiling.

"No more running, virus. We end this now." said Matrix.

He fired his gun at Xana; he dodged and flew into the air. Bob and Matrix fired at him; he blocked the shots and fired lasers at them. They dodged and flew at him; Matrix through a barrage of punches, Xana blocked them and kicked away his zip board. Matrix fell to the ground on his feet.

Xana landed on top of him and kicked him to the ground. Bob flew in and fired at Xana, a force field appeared around him, and the shots were blocked by it.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but it won't be easy to beat me." said Xana,

"What do you mean?" asked Bob.

"After every battle my power grows stronger." said Xana,

"I don't care how powerful you are, you're going down, virus!" shouted Matrix.

"Keep thinking like that and you will be deleted. Besides you are trying to avenge someone who is still alive." said Xana.

He disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Matrix and Bob looked confused at what he said.


Flashback

"Do what is right. I have done great damage. It is time. End it, please." said Xanadu.

His face no longer showed hatred. He now looked almost human. Ulrich brought his swords in an X and fired at Xanadu. His body vanished in a flash of light.

Yumi and the others walked towards Ulrich stood looking at where Xanadu stood.

"It is finally over." said Ulrich,

"Yes, Ulrich. It is." said a voice.

Xana appeared and fired a crimson beam at them. The beam missed the Lyoko gang but it headed for Bob. It would have hit him, if Dot had not pushed him out of the way. She fell as the crimson beam hit her body.

"Dot!" shouted Bob,

"Sis!" shouted Matrix.

Her body was fading. Bob turned and glared at Xana. Glitch started glowing.

"This is for Dot!" said Bob.

He fired lasers at Xana, who blocked them with his sword. Soon the Lyoko gang and Matrix were firing at him. He blocked them and turned them into a black cloud. Bob walked over to Dot as she started fading.

"Dot, why did you do that?" asked Bob,

"Because I..." she said.

Before she finished she vanished.

"NOOO!" shouted Bob.

End flashback


Dot was deleted in Bob's arms after she was hit by Xana's blast. How could she still be alive?


Mountain Region

Lyoko sprite's fortress

Relita opened her eyes and gasped.

"I know what Xana is planning." she said,

"What is it, honey?" asked Mouse.

"He plans to reassemble the orb of Xanadu. The same orb that Megabyte used to merge with Xanadu." said Relita,

"To revive Xanadu?" asked Mouse.

"No, the fighters who were given Lyoko powers and where destroyed. It contains their life force after they are killed." said Relita,

"The mutated teens." said Mouse.

"And more. He is looking for the Elements." said Relita.


Polar region

Giant creatures that resembled polar bears emerged from the caves of the Polar Region. They were led by a tall boy with white hair and pale blue skin. His eyes were white and so were his pupils. He wore white clothes, and white gloves.

The monsters suddenly stepped back in fear as a black cloud appeared. It took on human form and soon it became Xana. The boy brought out a sword made of ice and pointed at Xana.

"So you're not gone as the monsters said." said the boy,

"Are they ever right about anything?" asked Xana, in a sarcastic tone.

They both chuckled and the boy sheathed his sword.

"What do you want?" asked the boy,

"Is that any way to treat an old friend, Cold." asked Xana.

"Spare me you little talk, Xana. We have never been friends so don't pretend that we are now." said Cold,

"Somebody is in a foul mood." said Xana, smiling.

"Save it and get to the point." said Cold,

"You sisters, Shadow and Tsunami have agreed to keep the humans of my back for a while. At least until I have what I want." said Xana,

"And you want to ask me for my assistance?" asked Cold.

"How nice of you to anticipate me." said Xana.

Cold gritted his teeth and glared. He wanted to wipe that smirk off Xana's face, but he could risk getting infected.

"I'm not anticipating you. If you want my assistance then just ask and get it over with." said Cold,

"Okay, will you help me along with your sister?" asked Xana.

"If it means dealing with those humans than I'm in." said Cold.

Xana smiled and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Cold looked at where he stood and then smiled.


Mountain Region

Lyoko sprite's fortress

"Xana and Delita are gathering the Elements of Lyoko. They have the power of Earth, Water, Darkness, and Ice." said Relita,

"Why haven't we seen them before?" asked Jeremy, from his computer in the real world.

"They come from the digital void. You can fall in the digital void, but only few survive the trip. Those who do survive travel to Lyoko's Underworld. That is where the Elements live.

After Xana and Delita vanished they ordered the monsters to take over before Xana could resurface. If they controlled Lyoko they could have destroyed Xana." said Relita,

"Xana has already met three of them. There is one more to go. If we find them, we find Xana." said AndrAIa.

"Then we are coming." said Jeremy.


The Factory

Jeremy and the others entered the scanner room and prepared to enter Lyoko. Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd entered the scanners/

"Transfer Ulrich."

"Transfer Odd."

"Transfer Yumi."

Their bodies were lifted into the air.

"Scanner Ulrich."

"Scanner Odd."

"Scanner Yumi."

"Virtualization."

The scans opened and Jeremy and Aelita entered.

"Transfer Jeremy."

"Transfer Aelita."

"Scanner Jeremy."

"Scanner Aelita."

"Virtualization."


Lyoko

Desert Region

They appeared in the Desert Region and saw giant creatures made of rocks. They were the size of gorillas. In front of them was a girl wearing a white tank top, and blue jeans. She had blonde hair, bright yellow eyes, and her skin was a pale shade of yellow. Suddenly a black cloud, when it was gone Xana and Delita appeared.

"It's been a while, Abigail." said Delita,

"You two are back faster than the monsters hoped." said Abigail.

"You can never keep a good virus down." said Xana,

"What are you up to this time?" asked Abigail.

"That's for us to know and for you to find out, if you decide to help us. Tsunami, Shadow, and Cold have decided to help." Said Delita,

"What kind of fool do think I am, Delita? They would never join viruses." said Abigail.

"Not unless it meant getting rid of humans." said Xana.

This caught Abigail's interest.

"What do you mean?" asked Abigail,

"Keep them from bothering my and my sister and you and your siblings will be rewarded." said Xana,

"It's a deal." said Abigail. smiling.

Xana saw the Lyoko gang hiding and smiled.

"You can come out, there's no need to hide when I know your there." said Xana.

They came out and pulled their weapons.

"Attack!" shouted Abigail.

The monsters roared and ran at them. Aelita sang a note and the ground cracked underneath them. They fell into the digital void. Xana glared at Abigail.

"You just can't get good help." said Xana,

"What else is new?" asked Delita sarcastically.

They disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Bob and Matrix appeared on their zip boards and landed.

"Where's Xana?" demanded Matrix,

"You just missed him." said Odd.

Matrix punched the ground and yelled.


Location Unknown

Xana and Delita walked into a dark room. In the room were Shadow, Tsunami and Cold. Abigail walked in and greeted her siblings.

"Xana we have a gift for you." said Shadow.

She pulled a small piece of red glass. Xana smiled and took it.

"Good job, Shadow. Let's see what old friend shall appear." said Xana.

He took the glass shard and combined it with the broken orb. In a flash of light Herb in his mutated form appeared.

"I am . . . Alive?" asked Herb,

"Welcome back to the living, Herb. I trust you know your job." said Xana.

"Yes sir." said Herb.
