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 11
A figure ran through the Desert Region. He had no memory of his past. All he remembered was being trapped in a void of darkness then it was suddenly ripped apart by a flash of light. He then found himself in Carthage and quickly escaped.
He felt he was being watched and he was right. Deep in the depths of Carthage Morganna watched the figure run through the Desert Region. It was him. But how could he be alive?
She was sure he destroyed by the Lyoko Guardians. Even if he was still alive he posed no threat to her. He lost his powers it would seem. She was now in control and will dispose of him.
Kadic Junior High
The Lyoko gang and the players sat at the table as Jeremy told them something he discovered.
Last night a virtual being was detected in the Desert Region of Lyoko. It could be Morganna's new lackey." said Jeremy,
"We mustn't rush to conclusion. We don't know who or what this person is." said Subaru.
"But it must be. No one else knows about Lyoko and this person seemed to have the same powers as Aelita but they seem stronger." said Jeremy,
"A virtual being like Aelita. You wouldn't be talking about Xana?" asked Sora with humor in his voice.
"No, he's dead." said Jeremy,
"There is no reason we can't do a little recon." said Yumi.
"I say we go there. We can handle anything Morganna throws at us." said Odd,
"I say we check this out." said Ulrich.
Sissy watched them from the distance. She was sick and tired of trying and failing to find out their little secret. These new people suddenly show up and they are suddenly friends. It was time to find out their secret and she would get a friend to help.
She walked over to William who ate his food.
"William, I have a favor to ask." said Sissy,
"What is it?" asked William.
"You and I both know that Yumi's group has a secret and I need your help to find out what." said Sissy,
"Why would I do that? If you want to be friends with them and be part of their group then respect their secret." said William.
"Oh please. No matter how close you get to Yumi she'll never tell you what her secret is and you know it. The only way to get her is to find out." said Sissy.
William thought about this for a moment.
"I'll think about it." said William.
The Lyoko gang and the players arrived at the factory and told Bear, Krim, and Ginkan what was happening.
"So another virtual being in Lyoko?" asked Bear,
"It could be another humanoid created by Morganna to trick us. Remember when she created Spire?" asked Ginkan.
"True, but this being may also be an original inhabitant on Lyoko and might know about Franz Hopper." said Krim,
"We'll do a little recon to check it out, see who it is, and get out before Morganna can activate." said Jeremy.
Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd entered the scans.
"Transfer Ulrich."
"Transfer Yumi."
"Transfer Odd."
"Scanner Ulrich."
"Scanner Yumi."
"Scanner Odd."
"Virtualization."
They vanished into Lyoko. Somewhere else a person was watching.
"Looks like they know about our friend. Should I stop them?" asked the man,
"No, leave them to me. I will deal with them myself." said Morganna's voice.
They landed in Lyoko and Jeremy programmed the vehicles. They flew in the direction Jeremy said where they will find the stranger. A humanoid figure was seen in the distance, before Morganna's phases appeared.
"Looks like Morganna doesn't want us to get to him." said Ulrich,
"Then we better move." said Yumi.
They dodged the monsters attack and quickly flew past them and headed for the stranger. They soon saw the figure running and gasped. It was Aelita's doll, Mister Puck. He kept running as they flew close.
"How can Aelita's doll be here?" asked Odd,
"Not unless it's Aelita's guardian, Xanadu." said Jeremy.
"Xana." said Ulrich.
The humanoid continued to run as the Lyoko warriors kept running and Morganna's creatures followed. He stopped and raised his hand. Suddenly a wall appeared in front of them and the elf continued running. Ulrich and the others flew above the wall and saw the digital entity form a bridge that led to a platform with a tower.
"He is heading for a transfer tower." said Jeremy,
"How could that little guy be Xana? Ulrich and Aelita destroyed him." said Yumi.
"I ran a scan no him. He has no viral codes that match Xana. Whoever he is, he is not Xana." said Jeremy,
"Then who?" asked Ulrich.
The person made to the tower and looked to see them land. He gasped in fear and stepped back.
"Wait. We are not here to hurt you." said Yumi,
"Liar. Nearly everybody in this world seeks to destroy me. I don't know but I need to remember." said the humanoid.
"What do you mean 'remember'?" asked Ulrich,
"I remember nothing. Except being trapped in a void of darkness. That is all. I don't know my name, I don't know who made me, I don't know anything about my past." said the person in fear and confusion.
The phases arrived and prepared to strike the person as he stepped back with fear written all over his face. Odd and Yumi fired their weapons and stopped the phases attack. The humanoid entered the tower.
"There must be something here that can help me." he whispered,
"I know one thing." said a voice.
The person turned and looked in fear, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Who said that?" asked the person,
"My name is Jeremy and I am offering a way to save you from those monsters." said Jeremy.
"What makes think I can trust you?" asked the person,
"Step into the middle of the platform." said Jeremy.
The digital human hesitated but did as he was told.
"Code: Earth." said Jeremy.
The Lyoko warriors materialized as the digital being floated into the air. He felt himself being pulled away from the plain of existence he was on. He vanished. At the scanners one of them opened and a puff of smoke came out.
The Lyoko gang and the players looked to see an unconscious boy the Lyoko gang's age in the scanner. His hair was like Aelita's except it was purplish black. He wore the same clothes Xana did. A black T shirt with black baggy pants, and black fingerless gloves.
He opened his eyes to see them staring at him. They were bright green.
"Where am I?" asked the person,
"You are in the real world. Earth." said Jeremy.
"That sounds familiar." said the boy as he stood up.
"Do you remember anything?" asked Bear.
The boy's eyes widened as he saw Aelita.
"So you are still alive. He said you were dead." said the boy,
"Who?" asked Aelita.
"That man, that old man with glasses." said the boy,
"Franz Hopper?" asked Aelita.
"You know Franz Hopper?" asked Mimiru,
"That man, I forget his name. All I remember is a void of darkness with a red eye staring at me for a long time. Then there was light.
It was so bright I was blinded. I awoke to find myself being chased by monsters." said the boy,
"Morganna must want you out of the way." said Jeremy.
"I don't even know what is going on and suddenly somebody wants me gone?" asked the boy,
"Anything else you remember?" asked Krim.
Tsukasa walked forward and out a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't pressure yourself to remember." said Tsukasa,
"I remember a name. Xanadu was one name and the other was Xavier." said the boy.
"I see. Tsukasa, could you take our friend up to the surface so he gets use to it around here?" asked Bear.
Tsukasa nodded and led the boy to the elevator.
"What did you do that for?" asked Mimiru,
"It is clear who it is. Somehow it is Aelita's guardian reborn. I first assumed her guardian turned into Xana but since you say Xana is dead and there is no trace of him on that boy then it is clear that Xanadu had nothing to do with Xana." said Bear.
"If that is true then where did Xana come from in the first place?" asked Yumi,
"That is what we must find out." said Bear.
