Code: Darkness
Chapter 4
The real world was now dark place. Monsters roamed throughout the landscape. Large chunks of the planet were floating in the sky. Where the factory once stood was a dark castle.
People hid underground to survive. Only below the surface was anybody safe from these monsters. Inside Horror watched as the Lyoko gang ran towards his castle. He knew why they were coming. It is because he captured their friend.
But who said it would be easy? He controlled all of the Element's monsters. For some reason he could not control the viral monsters and that angered him. He watched as the Lyoko gang neared the castle.
Outside the castle
Wolves, dragons, sharks with legs, and ice monsters appeared out of the shadows and attacked. Jeremy and Ulrich fired energy waves at them, Odd fired his laser arrows, and Aelita jumped and swung her sword.
A wolf jumped at her, she saw it coming and swung her sword. It sliced right through the wolf. Jeremy plunged his staff into the ground and it glowed. The ground started to crack.
It exploded underneath the monsters. The blast sent them flying in all directions. The dragons flew and sent fireballs at them. Jeremy created a force field, while Ulrich and Odd fired at them.
A shark leapt at them, but Aelita appeared right in front of it and stabbed it with her sword. The energy waves blasted several dragons. The clones turned into their Lyoko forms and jumped in. The sliced through the monsters.
Taylor threw her hammer which hit a dragon on the head. Logan charged at the wolves and swung his spear. Kimono sliced through an ice monster with her claws. Andrew through his sword which went right through a shark.
But the more monsters they killed, the more monsters came.
"We can't keep this up forever!" shouted Ulrich,
"You don't have to. Get up to the castle and get Yumi out of there." said Logan.
"What about you guys?" asked Aelita,
"We'll hold down the fort." said Kimono.
"You won't last." said Jeremy,
"Watch us." said Taylor.
The Lyoko sighed. Jeremy's staff glowed and they were lifted into the sky. They landed at the top of the castle. More monsters flew at them, but they did not last long against the Lyoko gang.
They jumped off the roof and landed on a balcony. They walked into a large room, but it was not empty. Yumi was there; her hands were held by chains.
"Yumi!" shouted Ulrich.
Suddenly Horror appeared in front of him.
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?" asked Horror,
"We were hoping." said Odd.
Horror raised his staff and fired black lasers at them. They dodged and Ulrich charged at him. Just as he swung his sword Horror vanished. There was no time to look because Ulrich felt a punch into his stomach.
The blow sent him back. He still stood, but staggered. Horror appeared in front of him and raised his staff. Aelita ran at him and swung her sword. Horror blocked and vanished.
Aelita was flipped onto the ground. Jeremy jumped in front of her as Horror fired a black beam at her. He created a force field and blocked it. Horror jumped at him and swung his staff.
It cut right through the force field. Odd used his cat reflexes and jumped at Horror. Before he could attack Horror vanished. Odd looked around, but somebody grabbed his tail and tossed him into the wall.
Horror appeared and attacked. Ulrich blocked his strikes and fought back. While they were fighting Yumi watched, but something was bugging her. Her back seemed in so much pain she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly.
Odd jumped and landed in front of her and released her.
"You okay, Yumi?" asked Odd.
Yumi nodded, but she was lying.
"Go and help the others, Odd." said Yumi,
"Okay. Stay here." said Odd.
He jumped and fired an arrow at Horror's back. It sent him into the ground. Suddenly a red aura glowed around him. His staff sent bolts of dark lightening at them.
They dodged, but they noticed something familiar about the aura. Suddenly Aelita realized why.
"He absorbed power from the core of Lyoko!" shouted Aelita,
"Than that means . . ." said Ulrich.
"It is much easier to beat him." said Jeremy.
They split up as Horror sent dark lightening at them. The pain on Yumi's back was getting worse. She felt like her body was going break in two. Ulrich saw her in pain and ran to her side.
"What's wrong, Yumi?" asked Ulrich,
"It hurts. My back hurts." said Yumi.
"Let me see your back." said Ulrich.
Yumi obeyed. She took enough of her kimono for Ulrich to see her back. On it was the symbol of Xana. Suddenly Yumi screamed and it got the other's attention.
A black cloud came out of the symbol on Yumi's back and exploded in a flash of red light. As the light vanished they saw a figure standing there. His skin was pale white and he had dark triangular marks under his eyes. He wore a black T shirt with black baggy pants, and black and red shoes.
He wore black fingerless gloves, and his hair was jet black with red streaks all through it and it was spiked. His eyes were sharp bright green. He smiled at the room's occupants
"Xana." said Ulrich.
