Lord Maximus: This has nothing to do with my other crossovers, but I will be using Xana's form from them. It is much easier than thinking of a new one.


Chapter 3

Kadic Junior High

"What's the matter, Jeremy? You have been skipping gym class more than usual." said Yumi,

"I have been studying the anti virus and I have noticed that Xana has been very active recently. We need to hurry and find the anti virus before he gets too powerful." said Jeremy.

"But you mustn't strain yourself, Jeremy." said Aelita,

"Haven't you the last few attacks? Xana is just toying with us." said Jeremy.

He got up and walked away with his laptop. Ulrich looked at his retreating back and then at the others.

"He does have a point. Xana has been launching attacks that are forcing us to back in time. He is pressuring us to make him stronger. While he evolves we get exhausted." said Ulrich,

"But we have stopped him before." said Odd.

"I am just wondering. Remember when Xana created a blizzard? What if he gets control of the weather? He would be unstoppable." said Ulrich,

'Don't forget, Ulrich, that Xana needs me alive for him to steal my memories." said Aelita.

"It's not just out here. Remember Xana increased the damage his monsters could do to us." said Ulrich,

"Ulrich, I know that you wish we were through with Xana, and that you wish whenever had to save the world. But you know in a strange way if wasn't for Xana we would never have met Aelita. Even if he didn't mean for us he is the reason we are all together and that is the reason we stop him." said Yumi.

"I guess, but still Xana is still making us go back in time so he can evolve." said Ulrich,

"I need to see Jeremy." said Aelita.

She got up and headed for Jeremy's room. Deep with in Carthage, at a large platform Xana observed them as they had their conversation. Aelita and Jeremy were getting close to finding the anti virus, but it didn't matter. When he activated the tower Jeremy used to give Odd the same powers he gave his victims when he possessed he was very surprised.

Perhaps he was near a level where he could activate more than one tower.

However that would mean he would be weakened and could not summon a large number of monsters. Despite that error his power was growing. Xana smiled as he believed it was time to take the battle to the next level. He started up the virtualizing sequence and virtualized himself in his character form on Lyoko.

He landed in the Desert Region and sat down. If he could not activate towers and summon monsters at once, then he could do one thing at a time. Soon enough monsters were being deployed all over Lyoko. Crabs traveled in large numbers as they spread out, megatanks rolled around, hornets and mantis flew in the air, creepers and roachters crawled around for room, and blocks turned their heads as they observed Lyoko.

Xana stood up and smiled. He entered the password SCIPIO and the transport orb took him to Carthage. He traveled to the platform and accessed the interface to his data. This time he was going to create a barrier to hide the monsters.

No doubt Jeremy would not think to check Lyoko for monsters unless there was an activated tower. Monsters kept on appearing and Xana was soon ready. Like he did when he materialized three Crabs he infected the scans. This time he did not materialize just three crabs.

He materialized a tarantula, a creeper, and block. The creeper slithered into the control room and used its hands to start typing the commands that Xana had ordered it to. Soon enough a tower in the mountain region glowed green. A black cloud like Xana's emerged from the computer and entered the creeper.

There was no need for Xana himself to activate a tower, not when he could use Jeremy's laptop to do it for him. The yellow aura glowed around the creeper. Xana ordered the creeper to activate two more towers and black smoke entered the tarantula and the block. Xana smiled.

Four towers would cause a lot of damage. This time the gang would not know what hit them.

Jeremy typed on his computer when the scan detected a tower.

"Xana!" said Jeremy,

"What?" asked a female voice.

He turned to see Aelita at the door.

"Xana has woken up." said Jeremy.

However the computer detected three more towers.

"Four towers activated?" asked Jeremy,

"But that can't be. Xana doesn't have the power to activate more than one tower." said Aelita.

However the three towers did not show signs of being infected by Xana.

"Call the others." said Jeremy.

Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi arrived and Jeremy started explaining.

"Xana has activated one tower, but three more towers show no sign of his infection. It's like someone else remotely activated them." said Jeremy,

"Like the way you did when Xana possessed Dorothy?" asked Odd?

"I didn't activate a tower." said Jeremy,

"No, but I think Xana might be the one activating the towers, and I don't think he is doing it himself." said Ulrich.

The school was suddenly shaken by a large blast. The gang looked out the window to see a block holding people in the air with waves of electricity.

"How is it doing that?" asked Odd,

"Xana's specters. He somehow materialized his monsters and infected them." said Jeremy.

"But that's impossible. They already have Xana's codes on them." said Aelita,

"Wait, there's a creeper down there. Of course! Xana had it activate three towers from the lab!" said Jeremy.

"Then that means Xana could activate multiple towers at once!" said Yumi.

A tarantula blasted into the hallway and saw them. Its eyes glowed red as it aimed. Electricity fired and socked them all. It walked over to Aelita and used its arm.

It flung her onto its back and headed for the factory. The others got up and realized Aelita was missing.

"That monster took Aelita!" said Jeremy,

"Calm down, Jeremy. We need to hurry. I'll see what I can do about those monsters while the rest of you get to Lyoko and deactivate the tower." said Ulrich.

"You might need some back up." said Jeremy.

He typed in the computer and a ghost entered Ulrich.

"Remember those powers are only temporary and Xana might take control." said Jeremy,

"I'll do what I can." said Ulrich.

He ran outside and fired a fireball the struck the block in the Xana logo.

Deep in Carthage Xana watched as Ulrich destroyed the block. It didn't matter anyway. The creeper had placed Aelita in the scanners and has started up the virtualization sequence.

Aelita appeared in the Forest Region. She placed on the edge of the Region with three crabs guarding her. Xana now ordered the creeper to destroy the scanners so the Lyoko gang could not enter Lyoko. Aelita only watched as the crabs watched her.

Jeremy, Odd, and Yumi slid down the ropes and landed on the ground only to meet the tarantula. It aimed and fired at them. They ran for cover, but the tarantula jumped and landed at the entrance above them. It aimed and blasted the elevator.

"We have to take the other way around." said Jeremy,

"You and Yumi go, I'll keep the tarantula busy." said Odd.

He ran out as the tarantula prepared to come after them. It aimed and fired at Odd, but Odd jumped and avoided them. Yumi and Jeremy took the door to the stairs and ran down to the computer. Aelita saw the Scyphozoa slowly come forward.

Jeremy sat at the computer as Yumi took the ladder and went down. She saw the creeper destroy one scanner and turn to the next one. She jumped and landed on top of it. She held a sharp piece of metal and stepped the monster in the logo.

It collapsed onto the ground and lay perfectly still.

"Jeremy, the creeper destroyed one of the scanners." said Yumi,

"I wish that was the only bad news. Aelita is trapped at the edge of the Forest Region with the Scyphozoa and Odd has his hands full with the tarantula." said Jeremy.

"Then virtualize me." said Yumi.

She stepped into a scanner and it closed.

"Transfer Yumi."

"Scanner Yumi."

"Virtualization."

She vanished into a flash of light and entered Lyoko. She appeared in front of the monsters and pulled out her fans. The crabs opened fired at her, but she blocked them and threw one fan that hit the logo. The crab exploded and she caught the fan as it flew into the air.

She threw the other fan that sliced through the tentacles of the Scyphozoa. It dropped Aelita and screeched. The crabs fired a barrage of lasers, but Yumi threw her fans and destroyed them. Odd kept running as the tarantula kept firing.

Suddenly a fireball blasted the tarantula. Odd looked to see Ulrich smiling.

"What took you so long?" asked Odd,

"It looked like you were having fun. I didn't want to spoil it." said Ulrich.

Jeremy looked at the cameras showing the lobby and saw Ulrich.

"Ulrich, looks like your powers are going down." said Jeremy.

They ran to the stairs and headed for the lab. A tower that glowed green in the polar region now glowed red. As Ulrich and Odd ran Ulrich suddenly collapsed.

"Ulrich, what's wrong?" asked Odd,

"It's Xana. He has taken control of the tower I used to give Ulrich his powers." said Jeremy.

Suddenly they noticed a familiar symbol now appeared on Ulrich's forehead and started to pulse.

"It's like when Xana used the tower I used o gave your powers, but this time he is taking control of Ulrich." said Jeremy,

"Tell Yumi to hurry." said Odd.

Ulrich clutched his head as he screamed in pain. His eyes were turning in Xana logos and then back to normal as if he was trying to fight Xana. Yumi and Aelita ran through the forest region as crabs followed them.

"I have programmed the overwing and the overbike. You should get to the Polar Region." said Jeremy,

"Why?" asked Yumi.

"Remember when Xana used the tower that gave Odd his powers? This time he is using the tower I used to give Ulrich his powers to take control of him." said Jeremy,

"Okay, we'll hurry." said Yumi,

"How bad is the situation, Jeremy?" asked Aelita.

"It's getting worse. Xana is using the program I used to activate towers so he can activate them without doing it himself." said Jeremy,

"What do you mean?" asked Yumi.

"When he was able to shape shift into us he used a tower, now he has created a specter to shape shift into his monsters." said Jeremy.

He looked at the news as it reported monsters attacking everywhere. He looked back to see Odd thrown back into the wall. Ulrich now stood up.

His eyes were now Xana logos and he smiled at them. He raised his hand and electricity sent Jeremy into the wall. Odd jumped and kicked Ulrich into the wall, but Ulrich turned and grabbed Odd. Electricity went through Odd's body as he screamed.

Yumi and Aelita entered the tower and headed the Polar Region. They flew out of a tower and into the Polar Region towards the tower. In Carthage at the interface Xana watched as they flew towards the tower that he took over to take control of Ulrich. It didn't matter if they reached the tower in time.

Xana had monsters and zombies heading for them. He reactivated the tower he used to take control of Odd's dog and infect the school. Not even the Lyoko gang can stop that. Odd and Jeremy were getting tossed around as Ulrich who was under Xana's control blocked their attacks without even breaking a sweat. He chuckled which was a combination of his voice and a demon's voice.

Yumi and Aelita neared the tower, except that a group of monsters waited for them. On an ice cliff a tarantula watched them and aimed its lasers them. When they were in range it opened fire and blasted the vehicles. Yumi and Aelita screamed as they landed on the ground.

The tarantula emerged from the shadows followed by ten roachsters.

"Jeremy, we could use some back up." said Yumi.

There was no answer. He and Odd were getting thrashed by the possessed Ulrich.

"We need to help Yumi and Aelita." said Odd,

"I got an idea. When I say go, head for the scanners." said Jeremy.

Ulrich raised his hand to shoot electricity at them, but as he raised it Jeremy threw a metal bar that hit him in the head hard. Ulrich collapsed onto the ground.

"Go!" shouted Jeremy.

Odd ran for the ladder and climbed down to the scanner room fast. Jeremy started the timer and Odd stepped into the scanner. Just as Jeremy finished typing Ulrich got up like that metal bar never did hurt him at all. Jeremy turned to face as Odd entered Lyoko.

Yumi blocked the lasers of the monsters as Aelita held her other fan and threw. It destroyed three roachsters before returning to Aelita so she could block the lasers. The monsters were to split them apart. Suddenly a barrage of golden arrows was fired and blasted the tarantula and four roachsters.

Yumi and Aelita looked to see Odd jumped and blast the remaining roachsters.

"We better hurry. Ulrich is beating up Jeremy and he can't handle much more." said Odd.

Odd and Aelita jumped onto the overboard while Yumi got onto the overwing. Back in the lab Jeremy looked in horror as monsters and zombies entered the lobby. He took control of the elevator and sent it down to the sub levels to hold them off. Xana watched in amusement as they kept fighting.

Yumi flew around as three hornets fired at her. She threw one of her fans that destroyed one of them. Odd and Aelita landed near the tower only to see a megatank there. It spotted them and opened fire. Just as it fired Odd fired a laser arrow that destroyed it.

Aelita entered the tower and traveled to the upper platform and placed her hand onto the screen.

AELITA

CODE LYOKO

The tower shut down and the Xana logos in Ulrich's eyes vanished. He groaned and sat on the ground.

"Ulrich!" said Jeremy.

He shook Ulrich until he woke up.

"What happened?" asked Ulrich,

"I'll explain later, get to the scanners." said Jeremy.

As Ulrich climbed down to the scanner he remembered what happened. As he stepped into the scanner he closed his fist.

"I am coming, Xana." he growled.

The door closed.

"Transfer Ulrich."

"Scanner Ulrich."

"Virtualization."

He appeared in the Polar Region and the overbike appeared next to him. He flew to the tower and met the others.

"Hey, Ulrich, are you Xana free?" asked Odd,

"Very funny, but we have to hurry. Jeremy says that Xana has taken control of his laptop and is using to activate towers in Lyoko for him." said Ulrich.

"What do we do?" asked Yumi,

"We deactivate the tower Xana used to materialize his monsters so we can stop the monsters. They are heading for the factory, and the other problem is that Xana has deployed monsters all over Lyoko." said Ulrich.

"Xana is not playing around this time." said Yumi.

They jumped onto their vehicles and headed for a tower and used the data stream and headed for the Desert Region. Xana watched them from Carthage as they headed for the tower. This was the perfect chance to complete his plan and his quest for the answer in Aelita's memories. Jeremy quickly sealed all routes to the computer room as the monsters and zombies prepared to break in.

Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and Aelita flew out of the tower and saw the activated tower in the distance. However no one said it was unguarded. There were about fifty monsters there. They all noticed the Lyoko gang and prepared to attack.

The Lyoko gang prepared to move as hornets and mantis flew at them and fired. Ulrich flew in front of them and blocked the lasers with his sword. He flew at the monsters and jumped onto a mantis. He stabbed it in the logo and jumped onto the next mantis as the hornets fired and the mantis exploded.

Yumi and Odd fired at the hornets as they tried to hit Ulrich. Soon the hornets and mantis were destroyed. Ulrich jumped onto the overbike as the last mantis exploded. However the hornets were not completely destroyed.

A creeper emerged from behind a rock and blasted the overboard. Odd fell onto the ground and quickly jumped as the monsters fired at him. Jeremy watched the battle and looked to see specters slowly emerging from the walls.

"Laser arrow!" shouted Odd.

He blasted the creeper as it fired at him. Ulrich flew in on the overbike and sped towards the monsters. Two crabs opened fire at him, but Ulrich evaded them and flew right over the crabs. As he flew over he stabbed them both.

They both exploded and Ulrich flew around as the monsters fired. Yumi threw her fans as hornets pursued Aelita and her. The fans sliced through them. Odd saw the monsters splitting up and heading for them.

A tarantula aimed and blasted the overbike. Ulrich hit the ground and blocked the lasers.

"Triplicate!" shouted Ulrich.

He split into three Ulrichs and ran at the monsters. The blocks aimed and fired ice rays. One hit a clone and the other stabbed it. Ulrich and his clone ran towards a megatank as it charged.

They ran around the megatank, confusing it. It fired at a clone as the real Ulrich threw his sword into the symbol. It exploded. Ulrich and his clone smiled as they ran to help the others.

Yumi flew in on the overwing with Aelita and several creepers fired at them. One hit Yumi and she fell off the overwing.

"Yumi, you just lost forty life points." said Jeremy,

"I'm still here aren't I?" asked Yumi.

She threw her fans and destroyed one creeper, but the others soon fired. Odd jumped between them.

"Shield!" shouted Odd.

A purple shield appeared around Odd's arm and blocked the laser. Odd and Yumi fired their weapons and finished off the creepers. Aelita watched the battle from the overwing and soon saw a tarantula and two blocks heading for them. Suddenly a hornet appeared and blasted the overwing.

Aelita hit the ground and a wall appeared between her and the others. She heard a screech and saw the Scyphozoa slowly hovering to her. Odd saw Aelita vanish behind a wall and ran towards it. Yumi used her powers to lift a rock and tossed it at the blocks.

The tarantula opened fire at them. Ulrich blocked the lasers as Yumi jumped over the monster and tried to hit it with her fans. The tarantula blasted the fan and hit her in the chest.

"Yumi, you only have thirty life points left." said Jeremy.

He watched in horror as specters neared towards him. They took on the form of crabs and prepared to blast him. Odd climbed over the wall and fired at the Scyphozoa as it neared. It backed off and Aelita ran around the wall and headed for the tower.

The tarantula and a few crabs fired at Odd and took out his life points. Ulrich and Yumi attacked and destroyed the last of the monsters. Aelita entered the tower and traveled to the upper platform. She placed her hand on the screen.

AELITA

CODE LYOKO

"Tower deactivated." said Aelita,

The monsters vanished into a black cloud and Jeremy sighed in relief. He turned back to the computer.

"We need to erase my program from Xana's databanks." said Jeremy,

"But Jeremy, we barely have any life points left. This is what Xana wants. He is just wearing us out so when we get to Sector 5 he can finish us off and take Aelita's memory." said Ulrich.

"There is one thing that we need to do though. Xana has the anti virus encoded into his virtual form. I need to scan him so we can cure Aelita." said Jeremy,

"Okay, we'll go, but first we need to get to the edge of the region." said Yumi.

They ran to the edge as Jeremy typed in the password.

SCIPIO

The transport orb appeared and took them to Sector 5. Xana overheard the conversation and smiled. He was looking forward to the challenge. A showdown over the fate of Lyoko and the real world.

He loaded his virtual card and ordered his forces in the real world to stand down. He didn't want Jeremy to miss the defeat of his friends and finally Aelita loosing her memories. The transport orb landed in the room and Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita appeared. The platform spun as the walls prepared to open.

"Jeremy, the walls are about to open." said Yumi,

"Good luck, guys. This might be our toughest battle and the final one." said Jeremy.

Odd stood next to him as the holomap showed Carthage. The walls opened and they ran out of the room. The doors opened and the countdown began. They ran through the halls and entered the room.

A pair of creepers fired at them, but they blocked the lasers and destroyed the creepers.

"I have located the switch. It is right above you." said Jeremy.

They looked to see the switch on the ceiling. Ulrich jumped onto the platforms on the walls and kept jumping till he was near. Suddenly lasers fired at him. He barely managed to avoid them.

More creepers came into the room. Yumi threw her fans at them which destroyed two, but more came. Ulrich jumped as the timer neared zero and pushed the switch. The timer stopped and Jeremy and Odd sighed in relief.

"All we have to do now is delete the program Xana is using to activate the towers." said Aelita,

"You know what to do, Aelita." said Yumi.

"Yes, she does." said a voice,

"Xana." said Aelita.

Xana stepped out of a shadowed corner with his sword in his hand and the Scyphozoa behind him.

"Yumi has only thirty life points left, so she will be easy. Leaving me to deal with the strongest warrior of them all. Just the challenge I was hoping for. I cannot harm Aelita because of my original programming, but that is the Scyphozoa is for.

At long last, soon all obstacles will be removed." thought Xana.

He let out a small and quiet chuckle that echoed throughout the room. Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita glared at him with fierce hatred.

"I have a long time for this moment." said Xana,

"To be deleted?" asked Ulrich.

"So sure you are going to win. Even here in my own sector. The battle hasn't even started and you are so sure you are going to win." said Xana,

"I will and finally we'll be done with you, Xana." said Ulrich.

Xana only smirked as Ulrich pointed his sword at him. Ulrich didn't like the smirk he had not bit. It was clear that Xana had one last trick up his sleeve.

Yumi held her fans as she prepared to throw them. Xana didn't want her or Aelita to interfere with this battle. His left hand held his sword while he raised his right hand. In his hand glowed a red fire.

The Scyphozoa screeched. Just as Yumi prepared to throw her fans the fireball in Xana's hand shot out like a snake and pierced her shoulder. She screamed as it burned into her skin.

"Yumi!" shouted Ulrich and Aelita.

She felt herself return to the real world as she vanished into flash of data streams. When she stepped out of the scans, her shoulder had a deep scorched burn and part of her shirt was burned off. The long sleeve was burned away. She clutched her shoulder in pain as she breathed hard.

Odd climbed down and caught her as she fell.

"Come on, Yumi. The last thing Ulrich needs to worry about is you dying on him without him around." said Odd.

He put her arm over his shoulder and helped her up the ladder.

"Jeremy, get the first aid kit. Now!" shouted Odd.

Jeremy saw Yumi's injury and gasped. He jumped out of his chair and grabbed the kit. He brought it over to Yumi and wrapped wound in bandages. Back in Sector 5 AKA Carthage Ulrich glared at Xana with fierce hatred.

Xana only smirked.

"What's the matter? Afraid to face me on your own, or are you afraid that your dear friend Yumi will not survive that little scorch?" asked Xana, mockingly.

"What do you mean?" asked Aelita,

"Thanks to Jeremy's program I made Lyoko as real as human world. Any damage sustained here will follow into the real world. Since Yumi was deeply burned by my attack then it is a possibility that she came out of the scanner with a very painful surprise." said Xana.

"Why you . . ." said Ulrich,

"You are now on your own, Ulrich. No friends, no allies, and no dear Yumi to cheer you on." said Xana.

Ulrich ran at Xana at full speed with his sword, but as he swung it went right through Xana like he was a ghost. Xana chuckled as Ulrich turned around.

"Have you forgotten when I possessed people? I amplified my powers through them. Of course now you are fighting the real me which makes it even harder." said Xana.

Ulrich only glared at him.

"He's just toying with me so the Scyphozoa can steal Aelita's memories before Jeremy can scan him." thought Ulrich.

"Hey, Jeremy, why can't you scan Xana now so we can get the anti virus?" asked Odd,

"Xana has created a barrier to stop me. Aelita needs to get to the interface and disarm it, and even if she disarms Ulrich would have to keep Xana busy for a few minutes, which might not be enough time." said Jeremy.

"He'll do it." said Yumi, who was leaning against the wall.

Xana only smiled as Ulrich held his sword tightly. The Scyphozoa only hovered at the shadowed corner, waiting for the chance to attack its target. Ulrich charged and swung his sword, Xana expected him to him with his sword again, but this time Ulrich jumped and launched his foot at Xana's head. It made contact and Xana was sent a few paces back.

He glared at Ulrich.

"You expected me to use my sword to strike you thinking you could avoid it with your ghost powers, but you didn't count on me using my foot. Here's a little advice, never let a soccer played use his feet in combat." said Ulrich.

Xana only smiled and chuckled.

"So you caught me by surprise once and you're already gloating. When will you learn?" asked Xana.

Ulrich ran at Xana at full speed.

"Triangulate!" shouted Ulrich.

He split into three clones and created a triangle that Ulrich circled with great speed. Xana raised his sword and an energy wave destroyed one clone while the other two attacked with great speed. Xana barely had enough time to block them. One sliced through him, but that only cost him twenty life points.

Xana quickly destroyed the clone and jumped behind the real samurai. Ulrich looked to Xana deliver a kick to his ribs.

"Ulrich, you have lost twenty life points." said Jeremy.

Xana smiled as Ulrich backed away. Aelita watched the battle. The Scyphozoa had its sights on her and she needed a plan before it was too late. Xana was only toying with Ulrich before he finished him off. Ulrich avoided Xana's sword as he backed away.

Aelita quickly ran for the elevator. The Scyphozoa screeched and followed her. Xana smiled as the creature pursued her.

"Looks like Aelita has decided to fight a little before the end." said Xana,

"That's what you think, Xana." said Ulrich.

Xana only laughed as Ulrich glared.

"Will you humans ever cease to amaze me?" asked Xana.

Ulrich was now mad. Xana has played with him for the last time. Aelita jmped onto the elevator as it passed and headed for the final platform. The Scyphozoa followed her, but little did it know is that Yumi gave Aelita one of her fans before she was devirtualized and she still had it. She jumped onto the platform.

The Scyphozoa screeched as it entered and prepared to wrap its tentacles around her. Suddenly she vanished.

"It was an illusion!" shouted Jeremy.

The Scyphozoa screeched in rage.

"Looking for me?" asked a voice.

It turned to see a fan slice its tentacles. The fan flew into the hands of the real Aelita. The Scyphozoa screeched and headed for her. She threw the fan again and sliced through the Xana logo.

The Scyphozoa screeched as it exploded.

"Aelita, you rock!" shouted Odd on the intercom.

Yumi and Jeremy cheered.

Aelita walked up to the interface and began to get to work. Xana blasted Ulrich with a red laser from his sword and smiled.

"This is all you have got? I expected much more." said Xana, disgusted.

Aelita continued to work, but she noticed the mantis were beginning to hatch. She quickly worked on the interface as the mantis soon hatched.

"Aelita, the mantis have hatched!" shouted Jeremy,

"I just need a few more seconds." said Aelita.

"If you don't move then you will be gone in a few seconds." said Odd,

"It's okay, Odd. Remember, Xana needs me alive to steal my memories. He will not risk destroying me." said Aelita.

The mantis flew in and fired lasers around her, but she knew that they were missing on purpose. Xana lowered Ulrich down to ten life points and he still had plenty of life points. Aelita soon disarmed the barrier.

"All right, I am now scanning Xana. Get out of there, Aelita." said Jeremy,

"I just need to do one more thing." said Aelita.

The overwing appeared in front of her and she started to type again.

"Aelita, what are you doing?" asked Odd,

"A little surprise for Xana." said Aelita.

Just as Xana prepared the final strike Ulrich's sword glowed blue. Xana closed his eyes as it was too bright.

"I have given Ulrich's an upgrade. A powerful energy wave that can cause 1000 life points of damage." said Aelita,

"Aelita you are the greatest!" shouted Jeremy.

Ulrich smiled as Xana realized what it meant. However Xana would not go down without a fight. Xana fired at Ulrich, but Ulrich raised his sword and a blue energy wave fired, negating Xana's attack and hit Xana with the full force. Xana's virtual body was ripped to digits as his eyes had a look of shock in them.

"Yeah!" shouted the others.

The Time Return Program started up and everyone went back to the past. They inside Jeremy's dorm.

"Ulrich, you and Aelita are the greatest! You guys beat Xana!" shouted Odd,

"This calls for a celebration." said Yumi.

"Is that somewhere where there is food?" asked Odd.

They all laughed as they thought of an ordinary life now. They had done it. They had finally defeated Xana.

Deep in the depths of the World Morganna watched as the Lyoko gang defeated Xana.

"So, they have done it. No matter, for they are about to a face someone they have never encountered before." she said.

She cackled and her laughter echoed throughout the World. Tsukasa felt something cold pierce his soul. Morganna was up to something. He could feel it.
