The Core
Chapter 7
Location Unknown
Chaos fumed over his defeat. He wanted the clones and the Lyoko gang dead. He had scanned the recent Lyoko data and discovered that Xana had hidden and monsters had come out of the depths of Lyoko to take over. He figured Xana had a plan to destroy his enemies.
Again.
The strange thing was that Chaos could not figure out Xana's plan. This was impossible for a computer like him. A supercomputer outsmarted by a pathetic computer virus. How embarrassing.
He was angry, no furious with Lyoko gang, with Xana, and the clones. Another group that knew about Lyoko, Xana, and himself. If they joined it would mean that Chaos's chance of destroying them would be harder. He knew that emotions were a human's true weakness.
He would get rid of Ulrich first. Yumi would be depressed. She would either go for revenge or kill herself. Odd was Ulrich's best friend, he would try to stop him and avenge his friends.
It was easy to make them angry. Anger is what made humans easier to defeat. Jeremy and Aelita would be easy to deal with. The clones would be no different.
It was time to recreate his simulation. This would be very different from before. First thing he was going to do was play with Yumi's emotions, by torturing her dear Ulrich. He returned to his computer and manufactured a group of robots.
He decided to abduct Jeremy as well. Aelita loves. It would be so much fun to force to watch her dear Jeremy die. After the Lyoko gang and the clones are dealt with he will find out what that bloody computer virus, Xana is up to. This was going to be fun.
Instead of let the robots do it themselves he took control of their bodies himself.
Kadic Junior High
The gang sat at their table eating lunch. Jeremy had his laptop just incase Xana or the Elements tried something. The clones were busy getting their lunch still. They seemed like Aelita was when she first came to the real world.
"Any idea what kind of deal Xana made with the Elements? Maybe Lyoko's Underworld is what Dark Ulrich met. We could never get to Lyoko's Underworld because it would be too risky. That would be a perfect hiding place for Xana." said Ulrich,
"You could be right, Ulrich. But Xana might want us to think that." said Jeremy.
"Sometimes, even though I hate to admit, I wish we were still fighting Xana in the old days. We were just fighting Xana's monsters to help Aelita get to an activated tower." said Ulrich,
"I understand your frustration, Ulrich. Ever since Megabyte arrived in Lyoko, things were never the same." said Yumi.
She remembered when Xana had changed Sissy and her goons into monsters. She tried to kill Yumi, but she managed to survive. Xana created a dark version of Ulrich inside him and used it take over his body. Yumi cured him, but the virus took physical form.
Suddenly robots blasted the walls through the walls. They looked like the robots Drake used to abduct them from the factory. They through metal balls onto the floor that released sleeping gas. The students, except for the Lyoko gang and the clones were knocked out by the gas.
The Lyoko gang and the clones bolted out the doors and ran. The robots turned to them and ran in hot pursuit. They ran as fast as they could to escape their pursuers. Robots appeared in front of them and they were surrounded.
"It's a good thing I always carry this." said Jeremy, pulling out a black box.
He pushed the red button and the gang was covered by a white blinding light. They stood in their Lyoko forms, ready to take them on. Chaos was looking forward to this fight. They ran and fought the robots. It seemed evident that the Lyoko gang was stronger because of their powers.
Ulrich ran through the army and swung his sword. The robots were lucky enough to get a glance before Ulrich's sword sliced through their bodies. Odd jumped into the air firing laser arrows in all directions. Jeremy created a barrier that blocked the robots punches,
Aelita and Yumi ran close and sliced through them. Chaos could not concentrate on his objective when his focus was being split. He needed a plan to stop them before his army was wiped out. An idea slowly formed because he was focused on fighting the Lyoko gang.
Suddenly one of the robots pulled out sleeping gas. It tossed it into the air and sleeping gas was released into the air. It covered the entire the entire school. The gang was getting distracted as the gas was inhaled by them.
Their vision was getting blurry, and they felt like their heads were spinning. Chaos would have smiled if he could. He moved in for the capture. His robots grabbed Ulrich and Jeremy.
They were too weak to feel anything. Yumi, Aelita, and Odd fell to the ground and fell asleep from the gas. The clones could do nothing as they were already knocked out. They took Ulrich and Jeremy to a car and reverted them back to their human forms.
The car drove away very fast.
Somewhere in Lyoko
Xana watched as Chaos's robots captured Ulrich and Jeremy. That computer program was still alive, even after Xanadu destroyed his tower. He wondered what Chaos was planning. He knew it was only a matter of time.
Location Unknown
Ulrich awoke to find himself held up by chains. His wrists had shackles and he was hanging above the ground in a room nearly completely engulfed by shadow. He struggled but the chains refused to release him. He looked and saw Jeremy also held by chains.
They were in the middle of the room that was below a window that showed pale moonlight, which told him it was night. He saw the full moon in the dark sky. He looked down and saw a small puddle of blood.
He heard a cackle that filled the room. It was soft and evil. A door opened and in walked Chaos. He smiled at Ulrich.
"Chaos." said Ulrich,
"You don't sound pleased to see me, Ulrich." said Chaos, smiling at him.
"Who would?" asked Ulrich, sarcastically.
Chaos frowned a little. Humans were always bitter to the end.
"So what are you up to this time?" asked Ulrich,
"Just having a little fun." said Chaos.
He brought a taser and pointed at Ulrich. Jeremy awoke and saw Chaos.
"Chaos!" shouted Jeremy,
"In the flesh." said Chaos.
He pushed the button and electrocuted Ulrich. He struggled not to yell in pain. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.
"So you decided to be stubborn." said Chaos.
Jeremy looked as Ulrich was struggling to fight. He wished he could help his friend, but he was not in the position to help. Chaos turned of the taser, Ulrich breathed a sigh of relief. He boldly glared at Chaos. Chaos moved closer to them.
They tried to hide their fear of what he was going to do to them.
"Scream." said Chaos.
He turned the taser back on and electrocuted them both. The metal shackles conducted electricity and shocked their entire bodies. Their closed their eyes and gritted their teeth.
"Scream!" said Chaos, again.
He increased the voltage and Ulrich and Jeremy kept struggling. He smiled as they tried not to scream. Humans were so amusing when they were struggling under torture. He should have brought popcorn with him.
He increased the voltage to maximum. Nothing Ulrich and Jeremy could to stop the scream that escaped their throats. They screamed in agony, their screams echoed through the entire warehouse. Chaos turned off the taser and smiled at them.
"I hope you have enjoyed this little warm up. I have much more in store for you." said Chaos.
Ulrich looked at Jeremy; the genius looked like he was in pain all over his body. He vowed he would destroy Chaos, like when he vowed to destroy him if he harmed Yumi and Aelita when Drake abducted them and sent them into Chaos's world. A robot walked in and released them. Just as they stood the robot grabbed them by their throats and dragged them out of the room.
They were brought into the same room that held Chaos's computer. There were two chairs that looked the ones in a dentist's office.
"Let me guess, your sending us into your simulation." said Ulrich,
"Indeed. But this one will be different." said Chaos, stepping out of the shadows.
"If you do, our friends will be able to find your computer." said Jeremy,
"I am counting on it. Like you two, you two girlfriends will come to your rescue. But this time things will be very different." said Chaos.
"How will it be different?" asked Ulrich,
"Take a good look at the chairs." said Chaos.
They looked at the chairs and noticed the equipment was different from before. Instead of the helmets that were used to send Yumi and Aelita into Chaos's world there two small lasers on each chair.
"How are they different? Beside those lasers on the chairs?" asked Ulrich,
"I was only using old equipment because there was only scenario programmed. This time I have created multiple scenarios." said Chaos.
"You mean . . ." said Jeremy,
"I have now taken our game to the next level. Who knows what could happen. For all you could know you could open Pandora's box in there." said Chaos.
"If Chaos gets rid of us, how will the others stop him and Xana?" asked Jeremy quietly, but Chaos heard it.
"When I find out what that virus is up to I might also get rid of him myself." said Chaos.
He gestured and the robots knocked the two out. They strapped them to the chairs and placed the lasers over the heads.
"Wait. We move them to a location to where the others can find them." said Chaos.
The chairs vanished as doors opened underneath them and were on an elevator. They vanished into the darkness. Chaos smiled and walked over to the computer, or himself.
Location Unknown
The lasers that were above Ulrich and Jeremy's heads glowed and fired a purple beam at them. The events that happened to toady were slowly erased from their minds. Wherever they were they were close to the factory.
Chaos's lair
He smiled. It was now only a matter of time. He walked into one of the scans and it closed.
Kadic Junior High
Yumi awoke to find herself in the infirmary. She looked around and saw the other students in beds. Odd and Aelita were next to her, but there was no sign of Ulrich or Jeremy. She looked and saw Jim walk in looking distraught.
He might know where Ulrich and Jeremy are.
"Jim, do you know where Ulrich and Jeremy?" asked Yumi,
"I'm sorry. We can't find them. I checked the security cameras. Those robots took them when you knocked by the gas.
I erased any evidence of you in your you know what." said Jim.
Yumi realized that those robots belonged to Chaos. What would he want with them? Surely not for simple revenge, if he wanted that he could have captured them all. Without Ulrich and Jeremy, it was going to be hard to stop Chaos and find Xana.
She had a very bad feeling.
Lyoko
Ulrich and Jeremy ran to the tower Xana had activated. This time he had a set a fire in the school and Odd, Aelita, and Yumi were caught in it. He finally activated a tower and shown himself. The tower was being guarded by three Megatanks and Xana himself.
Jeremy created a barrier to block the monsters energy waves, as Ulrich ran close to attacking the tanks. Jeremy fired a staff laser and destroyed one Megatank, Ulrich managed to destroy another. Just the last Megatank charged Xana leapt at Ulrich, stopping him from getting any closer.
"Any last words?" asked Xana,
"How about sweet dreams?" asked Ulrich.
They charged each other and fought with their swords. Jeremy destroyed the last Megatank and entered the tower. He rose to upper platform and placed his hand on the computer.
JEREMY
CODE LYOKO
The tower shut down but something was wrong.
Warning, warning. Time Return Program has been infected by a virus. Repeat: Time Return Program has been infected by a virus." said a computer's voice.
The white covered everything, but Ulrich and Jeremy were not going into the past, they were going to . . .
The Factory
Yumi, Odd, and Aelita were now in the factory, working on a way to track down Chaos. He was not in Lyoko, and they had no idea where his hideout was.
"Aelita, you're as smart as Jeremy. Can you find a way to hack into Chaos's systems?" asked Yumi,
"It's tricky, but I think I can do it." said Aelita.
"We better hurry. With Chaos and Xana hiding somewhere there's no telling what they are planning." said Odd.
Aelita started typing at a fast rate. They needed to hurry.
Location Unknown
Ulrich opened his eyes to find himself in a large lab. It had numerous machines and many work tables, but there was something that caught his eyes. It was a large supercomputer that resembled the computer that held Lyoko. It was much larger and near it were many scanners.
He looked and saw Jeremy on the ground next to him. He shook him until he awoke.
"Ulrich? What. .. What happened?" asked Jeremy,
"Something happened while we were fighting Xana." said Ulrich.
"That's right, Ulrich." said a voice.
They turned and saw a man wearing a business suit and a woman in dark grey clothes. The man had blonde hair with a purple spot in the middle, and the woman had dark hair that reached her shoulders with blue high lights. They both looked familiar, but why? Then they realized who they were.
"Odd? Sam?" they asked at once,
"Correct." said the blonde haired man.
"Okay where is the real Odd? He would never wear a business suit. It doesn't look good on him." said Ulrich.
Sam giggled, and Jeremy hid his smile. Odd chuckled.
"Looks like time traveling can have surprises." said Odd,
"Wait, what do you mean 'surprises'?" asked Jeremy.
"You are in the future. That battle you had with Xana was twenty one years ago." said Sam,
"Wait that would mean it is the year 2026." said Jeremy, with wide eyes.
"It is. You two disappeared twenty one years ago today." said Sam,
"But how?" asked Ulrich.
"Aelita ran a scan after you two disappeared. She found that Xana had infected the time return program with a virus before he activated that tower. After you deactivated it, Xana was put back to sleep like he usually was, but you two were hurled into a time portal.
A lot has happened while you two where gone." said Odd.
"What about Aelita and Yumi?" asked Jeremy,
"We can tell in time. How about a tour of the future? You two are the only people to travel in time and see the future. We are in the same city were we used to go to Kadic." said Sam.
"Okay." said Ulrich.
They walked out and saw the city. It looked like Gotham City. They were many tall sky scrapers. The cars looked new and more advanced than anything Ulrich and Jeremy ever saw in thier lives.
Which is hard because Ulrich's dad owned a national company and Jeremy was considered Albert Einstein reincarnated. It was amazing.
"This is great." said Ulrich,
"You haven't seen anything yet." said Sam, smiling.
"This is great, but why haven't you told us about Aelita, Yumi, and the clones that were created by Chaos." said Jeremy,
"Perhaps it should be in another place." said Odd.
They got in a car and drove to a mansion. They entered large room with furniture and a large plasma TV.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you had a fridge the size of that TV, Odd." said Ulrich,
"Trust me, Ulrich. You don't know how big the fridge that he bought is." said Sam.
"But eating is good for me." said Odd,
"If your stomach was a black hole." said Jeremy.
They laughed and sat down.
"I suppose we should start from the beginning." said Odd.
Sam looked distraught; this told Ulrich and Jeremy that it was not a happy story.
"It all started when you two disappeared. Aelita found out what Xana had done and was constantly trying to find a way to get you guys back, but as time passed it got harder. Xana and Chaos launched attacks nearly every day. People nearly died from these attacks.
Yumi was depressed and now wanted revenge. She went into Lyoko to find Xana and force him to find a way to find you two. But Xana was not alone; he, his sister, Delita, and Chaos were waiting. They fought, but Yumi was able to make it out alive.
For three years we fought those viruses, Xana's siblings gave up their stronghold and sought shelter in their mother's mansion in the hidden region. Ana protected them with a fire wall. Soon Xana launched his ultimate attack; he was trying to take control of every computer and turning it into a portal so his monsters could enter the real world. Yumi and I fought hard, but Xana and his forces were too strong.
After we were devirtualized Xana and the virals took control of Earth, briefly. Aelita stayed in Lyoko and triggered a shut down. She, Xana, the monsters, and all the sprites that lived in Lyoko were destroyed. After Xana was stopped we finally found Chaos's computer and destroyed it before he could stop us.
However it cost us the lives of the clones. Before Chaos was destroyed he triggered a bomb at the entrance to his fortress. They sacrificed their lives to save us. They bomb caused the entrance to collapse on us.
We got out, they didn't. Even though they were clones they seemed like family. After that we called the authorities and the members of Drake's organization were arrested, and the equipment they had was confiscated. All the information about Lyoko was classified, but for our sake they allowed us to keep the supercomputer that held Lyoko.
With their last act of cruelty, Xana, Chaos, Drake, Megabyte, and Delita had left us scarred for life. Yumi was depressed, she lost two friends and her loved one, she died in her sleep." said Odd.
Ulrich and Jeremy were shocked. They were happy that the world was safe, but it cost them dearly. Even in death it seemed Xana and the virals had the last laugh.
"We have the records of the last battle in Lyoko. We could show if you want." said Odd.
They nodded and they entered the lab. Odd typed on the supercomputer and the screen showed the image.
Flashback
Lyoko
"Looks like it is all over, my friends. Know this that you have all fought bravely. You are true warriors. But what can you do?
Bob and his friends have tried to stop me and failed, and it cost them, dearly." said Xana, laughing.
"You will not win, Xana!" shouted Aelita,
"We'll see about that, Aelita." said Chaos.
Odd, Yumi, and Aelita ran at them with their weapons. A force field appeared around them, the field sent them back into the ground. A tower now glowed red in the distance. An army of monsters appeared around it.
All around the world computers now showed Xana's symbol and monsters crawled out of the computers. They fired at everything in sight. Xana, Chaos, and Delita laughed as the gang stood. They glared at the viruses as they laughed.
"What are you going to do? Where is your great warrior, Ulrich to fight us? Where is your genius, Jeremy to find a way to stop us?" asked Xana, mockingly.
Yumi and Aelita were now angry. They changed into their upgraded Lyoko forms and destroyed the force field that surrounded the viruses. Aelita tried to strike Xana, but he changed into a black cloud and shocked her. Suddenly he was hit by a tornado that was sent by Yumi.
Delita jumped and tried to stab her, but Odd jumped and kicked her. Chaos fired lightning bolts that hit Odd in the back. The monsters fired a barrage of lasers at them, Yumi was hit, and the tornado around Xana disappeared. He landed on his feet and fired a crimson beam at Yumi.
She lost her life points and disappeared. Odd tried to stop get to the tower, but Chaos and Delita fired and devirtualized him. Aelita ran through a portal and disappeared. She entered a black room with a computer in it.
Xana appeared behind her as she got to the computer.
"You are not thinking of doing that? Are you, dear sister?" asked Xana,
"The mission was to stop you, brother. I will do it at any risk." said Aelita.
"This is my purpose. It cannot be stopped." said Xana.
He ran at her with his sword to get her away, but the Lyoko sprites appeared around her and created a fire wall. Ana stood with Aelita and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Do it, Aelita. We will hold him off." said Ana,
"I hoped when we defeated him I could live in the real world with Jeremy and my friends." said Aelita, a tear fell down her face.
"It was never easy." said Ana.
She placed her hand the computer.
AELITA
CODE LYOKO
Lyoko was now engulfed by a white light and vanished. It was going to be destroyed forever. Xana, Delita, Aelita, and the sprites vanished. Chaos escaped to his computer and was put into a sleeping state.
End file
The computer turned off. Ulrich and Jeremy stood there with their mouths open and eyes wide. A tear fell down Jeremy's face. Aelita was gone because of him.
The Factory
Aelita typed fast, working hard to hack into Chaos's systems. She found out where Ulrich and Jeremy where, but they were close, too close for it to be Chaos's hideout. She called Odd and Yumi and headed to where Chaos was holding Ulrich and Jeremy. They found a dark warehouse not too far from the factory, but it wasn't Drake's warehouse.
It was empty, except for the two chairs that had purple lights, glowing in the dark. When they got a good look nothing could stop the screams from escaping Yumi and Aelita's throats. The two boys that were strapped to chairs were Ulrich Stern and Jeremy Belpois. The purple light were laser beams concentrated on their foreheads.
Location Unknown
Chaos smiled as he saw the reactions on Yumi and Aelita's faces. Too bad he was not there in person to see the looks on their faces. It would have been glorious. It was time to play.
"If you were worried about your dear friends, then don't be. They are all right, and they miss. ..." said Chaos.
". . . you very much." said the boys, opening their eyes.
They looked white, blank, and emotionless.
"Chaos." said Odd, glaring at the boys.
"Always so informal, are we. Must come with being a secret hero." said the boys, chuckling.
"You sent them into a simulation just like you did Aelita and I." said Yumi,
"I was getting bored and decided to have some fun. Just like before, if you disconnect them from the chairs, I'll kill them." said Chaos through the boys.
"If it didn't work before then how can you be so sure it will work this time?" asked Odd,
"This time I am not using the simulation as a distraction. There are multiple scenarios in the simulation I have created. Ulrich and Jeremy are in for the ride of their lives. And here is an example of what will happen if you try to hack into me again." said the boys.
The Lab
There was a strange noise. Ulrich looked and saw the same black cloud that Xana used to take control of something. It flew Jeremy and Ulrich, grabbed them, even though it was a cloud the hold felt like it was an actual human hand, it rammed then into the walls.
The warehouse
Yumi and Aelita covered their mouths as Ulrich and Jeremy started bleeding.
"Chaos! Stop! We will do as you say." said Odd,
"Good kids." said Chaos.
The bleeding stopped and Yumi and Aelita moved to their sides. They wiped the blood from their faces; Yumi grabbed Ulrich's hand and held tightly.
"Oh and by the way, if Yumi and Aelita touch them again, they will watch die, slowly and painfully." said Chaos.
The girls backed away from the chairs. Yumi wished she could reach Chaos's throat. If he was in reaching distance Yumi would tear him apart, piece by painful piece. If he killed one of her friends then she would make sure he would regret that he ever met her.
Next chapter coming soon.
