Lord Maximus: I don't own Code Lyoko.
Lost
Chapter 2
It had been two months since Xana had killed Ulrich and Yumi. Since that day everything had changed. Odd never did joke, Jeremy was busy on finding a way to locate Xana's hiding place in Lyoko, and Sissy had been trying to get away from Herb, who was bugging her to forget about Ulrich and stop hanging out with them. Aelita who also helping Jeremy locating Xana roamed through Lyoko trying to even find a single clue that could lead them to Xana.
Xana had been launching series of attacks after he killed Yumi and Ulrich. He even sent his monsters after Aelita before he activated a tower. Sissy, who had now joined the gang helped Odd protect her and get her to the activated towers. They fought hard to stay alive, and to keep others alive.
They wondered how long it would be until it was finally over. One single question floated through thier heads; how many more people would suffer until Xana had been stopped. He had caused them so much grief, Aelita sometimes wished that they would just shut him down and end this madness. She blamed herself for picking the wrong tower and allowing Xana to finish off Ulrich and Yumi.
Jeremy tried to tell her that it was Xana's fault for creating a copy of the tower. She tried to believe him, but then she would feel Xana's presence in the tower after she talked to Jeremy.
"You actually believe him, do you me dear Aelita? You picked the wrong tower so you are just as guilty as me." said Xana's voice.
Aelita wanted to deny it, but deep down she knew that Xana was right. All she wanted was to stop Xana once and for all, even at the cost of her own life.
"Leave my friends alone, Xana. This is between you and me." said Aelita,
"If that is how you feel that come . . . Come and get me. You know where I am. You knew it all along. You just did not want your remaining friends to die at my hands, just like Ulrich and Yumi."
"No. I will not lose them to you. I have lost two dear friends, if I lose anymore friends, then I will hunt you down until I have destroyed you." said Aelita.
"Then come to my dwelling and put me out of my misery. You know you want to. Why are do you stall? So Jeremy can find me and send Odd and that new girl Sissy, only to be suffering at my hands? I thought you would not allow me to destroy anymore of your friends."
She knew that Xana was toying with her. But he was getting to her, he knew by watching her look at the ground. He knew that she would not keep her secret away from her dear Jeremy. He was going to enjoy watching her break.
"I want me to come after you." said Aelita,
"You have wanted to stop me, whatever it took. And look what it cost you. Maybe if you didn't send that S.O.S. onto the net then they would still be alive."
"I will make sure you are stopped and no one will die at your hands, Xana." said Aelita,
"Then forget your friends and come to me. I am waiting. Let us end this battle, once and for all."
Xana's presence disappeared from the tower.
"Aelita?" asked a voice.
It was Jeremy.
"Hello Jeremy. What is it?" asked Aelita,
"You know what it is." said Jeremy.
"What do you mean?" asked Aelita,
"I heard you talking to Xana." said Jeremy.
"Is it true, Aelita? Do you really know where Xana is hiding?" asked Odd's voice,
"Yes, I do." said Aelita.
"Then why did you not tell us?" asked Jeremy,
"I have lost two friends to Xana. I was the one who brought them into this. I felt it was my duty, alone to stop Xana. I did not want the rest of you to die at his hands." said Aelita.
"Ulrich and Yumi knew the risk when they agreed to help fight Xana. We would do anything to help you, Aelita. Do you trust us?" asked Jeremy.
Aelita looked at the ground and closed her eyes for a few minutes. She opened them and smiled.
"I trust you more than anyone." said Aelita,
"Then will you tell us where Xana is?" asked Jeremy.
"Yes, I will." said Aelita.
They prepared for the trip they were about to take. They would until it was Saturday and then head to Lyoko, and Xana. Sissy and Odd entered the scans and Jeremy prepared the transfer.
"Transfer Odd."
"Transfer Sissy."
Their bodies were lifted into the air.
"Scanner Odd."
"Scanner Sissy."
"Virtualization."
Thier bodies disappeared in a flash of white light. Heading to Lyoko and the confrontation with Xana.
Next Chapter coming soon.
