Disclaimer: I don't own Code: Lyoko or .Hack/SIGN.
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.
Since I found out Tsukasa was a brunette ignore the blonde hair in the last chapter.
Chapter 7
Aelita walked through the forest. It was partially obscure by the grey mist that cast a blanket over the entire area. It was so quiet she could hear the faint sounds of insects buzzing around. She could feel something drawing her towards this forest.
It tugged at her very soul. Whatever she was felling she must know what. These visions left an infinite amount of questions in her mind that she desperately wants answers to. These visions haunted her even more now that Morganna took control of Lyoko.
She felt like she was being watched from the mist. Perhaps it was an animal watching her. She would not mind, however if it was a pack of wolves than she could worry. No, it wasn't any type of animal watching her.
She felt it coming close to her. A dark figure cast a shadow in the mist as it moved closer. Aelita could feel the being closer. She felt something familiar, yet so alien to her in the mist.
She now knew who it was and boldly glared.
"Xana." said Aelita in calm, emotionless, not too high tone, but loud enough for the being to hear.
Xana came out of the mist, his bright green eyes observed her with a hint of amusement in them. His white pale skin seemed to glow in the sun light as he stepped out of the mist.
"Hello to you too, Aelita . I believe we have some catching up to do." said Xana.
He chuckled and moved towards her. Aelita only stayed still and glared.
"What's this? No running to your knights in shining armor? No call your heroic genius for help?" asked Xana, mockingly,
"You don't scare me anymore." said Aelita.
Xana only laughed.
"You are always scared of me. You always were and always will. I am the one presence that tugs your soul, the one who leaves a thousand questions in your mind, the shadow that lurks when your friends are nowhere to be found." said Xana.
Aelita only stepped back and glared at him. He smirked as Aelita heard a soft growl behind her. She turned to see a pack of wolves with golden yellow eyes filled with hunger appeared from out of the fog. Aelita gasped and stepped back, only to bump into Xana.
"Still think you can succeed without your friends?" asked Xana.
The wolves barked and jumped at her.
Aelita screamed as she opened her eyes to find she was in her room. Sissy opened the door looking annoyed.
"What did I tell you about shutting your mouth when you dream? I need my sleep!" shouted Sissy.
She slammed the door and Aelita put her hands on her head.
"What is happening to me? Xana is dead but he still haunts me in my dreams." thought Aelita.
She sighed and looked down. What did these dreams mean? What was Xana talking about? It was all so confusing.
She was not the only one trying to find answers. Deep within the walls of Carthage Morganna was frustrated. She did not discover what she wanted in Aelita's memory. Something blocked her out and forced her to shut down the tower.
It was now time to stop playing around. A tower in the Mountain Region glowed purple. At the nuclear plant up north a purple fog emerged and entered the toxic fumes inside the plant. The fog was now greenish purple as it flew out of the plant and headed for the school.
Jeremy slept in his bead, peacefully. Or at least he did until his computer started up and detected an infected tower. He groaned and sat up. He bolted up when he saw the scan detect the activated tower and ran to the others dorm.
As he ran he dialed his cell phone.
At the factory Bear, Krim, and Ginkan slept until Krim's cell phone rang. He awoke and answered the phone.
"Hello?" asked Krim,
"Krim, its Jeremy. I have detected an activated tower. Morganna is at it again." said Jeremy.
"Okay, I'll wake the others and wait for you." said Krim.
Jeremy switched off his phone and entered Ulrich and Odd's dorm.
"Ulrich! Odd!" shouted Jeremy.
They awoke and saw Jeremy.
"What is it?" asked Ulrich,
"Morganna has launched an attack." said Jeremy.
They got up and quickly got dressed. They ran out of dorm as Ulrich called Yumi and Jeremy called Tsukasa, Aelita, Mimiru, Sora, and Subaru. They saw a giant cloud that covered the area. When they took a small sniff of it they covered their mouths and coughed.
"Morganna is trying to suffocate us." said Jeremy.
They opened the man hole and they jumped down. Morganna was not about to let them escape. The gas came down the entrance and pursued them. Tsukasa and Subaru already arrived because they managed to get out of their dorms before the others.
They saw Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremy getting chased by a strange cloud.
"Close the elevator!" shouted Ulrich.
They pushed the button as Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremy jumped in.
"That could is toxic. We have to deactivate the tower." said Jeremy.
He got out and the others entered the scanner room. He virtualized them one by one and they appeared in the Mountain Region. It wasn't long before they had company. Giant apes with hammers appeared and swung at them.
Sora sliced through one of their weapons and Odd fired arrows. It sent the ape back only a few paces. Tsukasa raised his staff and created a barrier around them as the ape launched a barrage of punches at them. Yume used her powers and lifted the ape of the ground.
She brought it over the digital void and released it. The ape roared as it fell into the mist. Mimiru swung her sword and sliced one of the ape's arms. The creature roared in pain, but attacked.
Bear and Ginkan jumped and swung thier blades killing the creature. Ulrich and Subaru led Aelita around the battle and soon made it to the tower. But a giant black snake with red eyes wrapped itself around the tower and hissed at them. It whipped its tail at them.
Ulrich pushed Subaru and Aelita out of the way and jumped as the tail it. The fog now entered the computer room and Jeremy started coughing. Time was running out.
"Triplicate!" shouted Ulrich.
He split into three and attacked. The snake launched itself at them and opened its mouth. Its fangs were sharp and full of venom. It bit one Ulrich and he vanished. The other two however jumped and stabbed it in the eyes.
The snake screeched as they kicked and it fell into the digital void. Aelita entered the tower and traveled to the upper platform. Jeremy collapsed onto the ground as the fog prepared to finish him off. Aelita placed her hand on the screen.
AELITA
CODE LYOKO
The time return program started and they returned to the past. Aelita did not decide to go to sleep so soon. She was scared she would have more visions. She knocked on Jeremy's door and he opened it.
"Hey, Aelita. What's the matter?" asked Jeremy,
"Can I come in?" asked Aelita.
Jeremy blushed and let her in.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Jeremy,
"I had another vision." said Aelita.
Jeremy placed his hand on her shoulder.
"You want to talk about it?" asked Jeremy.
Aelita nodded and started explain.
"It all started when I was in that forest where the hermitage is. It was covered by a fog and I could not find my way out. Then Xana stepped out of the mist and smiled. I tried to stand up to him, but all it did was amusing him.
He started laughing suddenly and then I turned to see why. A pack of wolves appeared from behind me and attacked me. Then I woke up." said Aelita.
She shook from the memory of it.
"Its okay, Aelita. Remember Xana is gone." said Jeremy,
"Even if he is dead he haunts me in my dreams." said Aelita.
Tears softly came out. Jeremy hugged her as they stood.
"Try to get some sleep." said Jeremy.
She nodded and left the room. Inside Carthage Morganna had already started her new plan. Out of the scans appeared a rugged looking man. He stepped out and entered the elevator.
