Lord Maximus: I don't own Code Lyoko.

The Loss


Chapter 3

Xana fired shadow blasts at Odd and Sissy, they dodged and fired back. Xana jumped into the air and fell into Sissy's shadow. He melted and then a shadowed form of Sissy came out of the black puddle. He attacked with the Bo staff, Sissy tried to block, but Xana hit her hard.

For some reason she felt pain after every hit. Odd pushed her out of the way as Xana swung his staff at her again.

"How come every attack hurt?" asked Sissy,

"A special program I designed. You are in my tower so I make the rules." said Xana.

"I don't care, you are going to pay for all the pain that you caused, Xana." said Odd,

"You tried to destroy me. I was defending myself." said Xana.

Odd fired laser arrow at him. He blocked them with the Bo staff and attacked. Sissy jumped up as he attacked Odd and hit him in the head. He seperated from Sissy's shadow and jumped back.

Sissy attacked, moving like a tornado Xana evaded her. Odd fired arrows at him, but he disappeared and the arrows hit Sissy.

"Sissy, are you okay?" asked Odd,

"I'll live." said Sissy.

"Not as long as I'm here." said Xana, reappearing.

Xana fired more shadow blasts at them, they barely dodged them. Most of them were mere inches from thier faces. Odd ran at Xana and tried to punch him, but Xana blocked every attack and kicked Odd. He staggered and then regained balance.

Xana and Odd were trading punches, Odd was doing his best, but Xana was winning. Sissy ran and attacked Xana from behind, a force field appeared around him as Sissy attacked. The barrier blocked it, but it left Odd enough time. He fired a laser arrow and hit Xana in the chest.

It sent him flying across the room. He hit the wall and fell onto the ground.

"Yes!" shouted Odd.

But Xana got up like it was nothing.

"Is that the best you got? Too bad Ulrich is not still alive. It would have been fun." said Xana.

The mention of Ulrich's name angered Odd and Sissy greatly. Yelling in anger they charged at Xana. He jumped above them and fired shadow blast while in the air. They jumped out of the way, but Xana was not finished.

He formed a giant black ball of darkness and threw it at Odd and Sissy. The blast hit, Odd evaded, but Sissy was blasted into the wall.

"Sissy!" shouted Odd.

Xana punched him as he was distracted. He was sent into the wall near Sissy. He chuckled at them and disappeared.

"Where did he go?" asked Odd,

"He went after Aelita!" said Sissy.
