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.
Summary: Xana has finally been destroyed, but is it the end? No, it has only begun. Another virtual being has taken over Lyoko and wants to take over the world. Another group of warriors from another virtual world comes to help, but will it be enough.
Chapter 8
The next day, Mr. Delmas sat in his office working as usual, until he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." said Mr. Delmas.
In walked a rugged looking man with short grey hair.
"You must be the new janitor." said Mr. Delmas,
"Indeed I am. I would like to know where my office is. My name is Spire." said the man.
"Well, Mr. Spire everything is in order. Our physics teacher, Jim will escort you to your office." said Mr. Delmas.
Spire nodded and stood up. Jim followed him out of the room and led him down the school grounds.
"Here is your work station. I want to see the halls completely clean. Understand?" asked Jim.
Spire nodded and entered his room. Jim closed the door and Spire turned to a power outlet. It sparked with electricity and a purple fog emerged from it. Spire bowed for a second and faced the mist.
"Is all according to plan?" asked the fog in a female voice.
"Indeed, Morganna. I will deal with them soon enough. One of them can be linked to Aura's emotions. I will watch them and find out which one is perfect." said Spire.
The mist vanished and Spire smiled. He pulled a computer out of his bag and typed. Out of the computer came cloaked figures and that growled without any evidence of them being human.
"Let the games begin." said Spire.
In the cafe the Lyoko gang and the hack players sat eating lunch. Bear had called Helba and asked her to look at Franz Hopper's files in hopes of opening them. In the meantime the rest were looking out just incase Morganna decided to attack. She seemed overdrew for an attack since it was week since her last attack.
However the warriors were taking advantage of this break. Outside the cafe Spire in his janitor uniform watched them before getting back to work. Soon enough it would be time to strike.
"So, Jeremy how goes the attempts to find out what my visions are about?" asked Aelita,
"I assumed at first it was Xana by using the virus he gave you to trick you, but since we defeated him and Morganna showed up I am beginning to think I was wrong." said Jeremy.
"The problems you guys are having reminded me when Tsukasa was trapped in The World." said Mimiru.
Tsukasa and Subaru nodded at them. Sora was busy having an insult with Sissy.
"You little punk! I will have you know that my daddy is the principal!" shouted Sissy,
"So are going to run to daddy whenever you feel like it? Suit yourself, but not even you are immune to punishment and I wonder how a nice guy like him would ever have a stuck up, obnoxious brat." said Sora.
Sissy fumed and you could see smoke coming out of her ears.
"You better watch it. You wouldn't want me for an enemy." said Sissy,
"I have seen scarier looking monsters in my closet." said Soar.
Sissy growled and stomped off. Her two cronies, Nicholas and Herb followed her. Sora smirked at her retreating back. Herb glared at Sora before he followed Nicholas and Sissy.
Soar only chuckled and sat down with the rest. Odd gave him thumbs up.
"Nice work, Sora. You're a pro when it comes to knocking down Sissy." said Odd,
"Makes you look like last year's clown." said Ulrich.
They all laughed and Odd stuck his tongue at Ulrich. William came by and Ulrich gave him a small glare.
"Hey, Yumi. Want to come help me study?" asked William,
"Sorry, William, I have to help out my new friends." said Yumi.
William looked at them.
"You must be the new people." said William,
"This is Tsukasa, Subaru, and Sora." said Yumi.
"Funny names." said William,
"They are from Japan like Yumi. I don't see anybody saying her name is funny." said Ulrich.
William only glared for a second. He walked away.
"You didn't have to sound like that." said Yumi,
"I only said that nobody is saying your name is funny." said Ulrich.
He got up and put his trash in the garbage. Spire smirked as he saw Ulrich walk out of the cafe. This boy might be the one. He would strike tonight.
"You know, Yumi? Sometimes you take things with Ulrich and William too seriously." said Odd,
"Why would you say that? Ulrich is the one with the temper." said Yumi.
"Only because he is sticking up for us." said Subaru.
Yumi got up and walked away. Morganna got her report from Spire and read it over. She was interested in the emotion Ulrich displayed. Jealousy.
Jealousy can blind someone; manipulate them, until they were no longer useful. Ulrich might be the one to awaken Dark Aura so she can drain the real Aura of her powers and finally take her revenge. She sent word to Spire to prepare for tonight.
In the Desert Region a black snake with red eyes emerged from a dark cave as if it was waiting.
"Patience my dark creature. Your prey will soon come." echoed Morganna's voice.
That night Spire appeared in the dorm wearing a dark brown robe.
"We are the great virtual beings. The soldiers of our mistress, Morganna. Our forces are growing and soon the entire world will tremble before us." whispered Spire.
Several cloaked figures followed him through the halls as he neared Ulrich and Odd's dorm. Spire raised his hand and the door opened. The cloaked figures entered and softly picked up the sleeping form of Ulrich. The snuck out of the dorms and entered the boiler room.
The opened the door and walked to the factory in the sewer. Spire opened the man hole a climbed up so his men could follow. They quietly entered the factory so they would not awake Bear, Krim, and Ginkan. Spire entered the elevator as his men followed.
He pushed the button and pushed the access code for the lab. They went down o the lab and Spire entered the computer room. The cloaked figures went down to the scanner room and placed Ulrich in the scanner.
"Good work, Spire." said Morganna,
"I am now beginning phase 2, Morganna. Virtualization." said Spire.
The scanner closed and Ulrich entered Lyoko. He awoke to find himself in Lyoko and a giant snake slithered out from its cave. Ulrich prepared to defend himself, but found his sword was missing. The snake lunged and bit him on the shoulder.
Ulrich screamed as the snake's teeth sunk in. The snake released him and crawled back into the darkness.
"What is happening to me?" asked Ulrich,
"Nothing yet." said Morganna's voice.
Ulrich stood up as he heard the voice and looked for the source of the voice.
"Morganna." said Ulrich.
He heard the AI chuckle as it echoed throughout Lyoko.
"The one and only. Now you need me as much as I need you." said Morganna,
"What do you mean?" asked Ulrich.
"Remember when Tsukasa said she was linked to Aura's emotions. I will link you to a copy." said Morganna,
"Why? I won't create a monster for you." said Ulrich.
"That is what the snake was for. If you remember the previous controller of Lyoko, Xana, stole the DNA of your friend, Yumi and it kept her trapped in Lyoko. Your DNA has been removed and therefore leaving you trapped." said Morganna.
Ulrich gasped as he heard what Morganna said.
"So you stole my DNA? Big deal. Xana did the same thing with Yumi and we stole her DNA back." said Ulrich,
"Not so fast, Ulrich. It sill be too late. Linking you to Dark Aura will keep you trapped in Lyoko. All it will take is one day." said Morganna.
Ulrich gasped and sat on the ground. He was trapped in Lyoko and Morganna is about to make sure he can't leave. Spire sat at the computer smiling. Until he heard a noise.
He turned to see Bear and Krim looking at him.
"So, Morganna got herself a spy? I can't say I'm not surprised." said Krim,
"You will be when Morganna finally destroys you." said Spire.
"Is that so? We will just wait and find out." said Bear.
They both jumped at Spire, but the cloaked monsters stopped them and tossed them back. They tried to attack, but Krim held a piece of metal and knocked them out. He turned to Spire who had vanished. He pulled out his cell phone.
"Jeremy, we got a problem. Morganna has a spy that has trapped Ulrich in Lyoko. Looks like his DNA was stolen." said Krim.
He turned to Bear who was at the elevator.
"They're on their way." said Krim,
"We better hurry. You heard what Morganna said to Ulrich." said Bear.
The elevator closed. Krim sat on the computer and was glad that Jeremy showed him the virtualization process. Bear entered the scanner and Krim started the sequence.
"Transfer Bear."
"Scanner Bear."
"Virtualization."
He appeared in the Desert Region and headed to where Ulrich was trapped. Morganna sensed the transfer and knew somehow they find out her plan. She was not about to let them stop her so easily. She had only started hacking into Ulrich's character.
Spire appeared in Lyoko, stopping Bear. He looked nothing like a human. He was concealed in black and red armor from head to toe and his armored face plate showed two pairs of red eyes.
"I commend for your effort, old man, but you are no condition to stop Morganna." said Spire,
"You're never too old for anything." said Bear.
Spire brought out a long sword as Bear attacked. They attacked, blocked, and parried. They seemed equal as they kept fighting. Morganna looked through a security camera and saw the others coming.
"You guys better hurry. Morganna is hacking into Ulrich's mind." said Krim,
"We can't let that happen. I remember what happened when Morganna did it to me." said Tsukasa.
Yumi, Odd, and Mimiru entered the scans and Jeremy started up the process. They entered Lyoko and Jeremy brought up the vehicles.
"You better hurry. Morganna is planting a virus in Ulrich. It will take two minutes for it to infect him. In order to stop it we need Morganna's data. No doubt it will be in Sector 5 like Xana's data." said Jeremy.
He entered the password.
SCIPIO
They entered the transport orb and headed for Carthage. Spire evaded Bear's attack and jumped.
"Time to end this. Open fire!" shouted Spire.
In the distance a red light was seen. A fireball fired at great speed. It struck him in the chest.
"Bear you lost twenty life points." said Jeremy.
Bear got back up and jumped as another fireball fired at him. The Lyoko gang entered Carthage and the timer started. Morganna started creating creatures to attack them. The armored creatures charged them with their swords.
"Go and find the anti virus!" shouted Mimiru.
She charged and attacked the creatures. Yumi and Odd ran through the maze and found the switch on a floating platform. Yumi and Odd jumped from platform until they reached the final platform.
"This is too easy." said Yumi,
"Hey, Morganna might not be as smart as Xana." said Odd.
Suddenly three more platforms with the switch appeared.
"One of them is real." said Jeremy,
"Great. How long before Ulrich is infected?" asked Yumi.
"Thirty seconds." said Jeremy.
Odd and Yumi fired their weapons at all the switches and the timer ended. Aelita ran up to the platform and accessed the data.
"No!" shouted Morganna.
Humans with bat like wings on their backs appeared and flew at Aelita. Odd and Yumi fired their weapons and destroyed.
"Jeremy, I am sending the data." said Aelita.
Jeremy accessed the data and uploaded the anti virus to Ulrich before Morganna finished.
"Get out of there!" shouted Jeremy.
The data streams from one of the holes in the sphere vanished and they flew through the hole. They flew through it as Morganna's monsters pursued them.
"Materialization Bear."
"Materialization Yumi."
"Materialization Odd."
"Materialization Mimiru."
Jeremy brought them in one by one and Aelita entered the tower.
"Code: Earth." said Jeremy.
Aelita was now materialized and now he brought in Ulrich. Ulrich came out, unconscious. Yumi grabbed him and looked at him. He looked cute with his hair all messy.
He opened his eyes and stood up.
"What took you guys so long?" asked Ulrich, in a joking manner.
"Give us a break. We had to wake Odd." said Jeremy.
They all laughed.
