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 13
Kadic Junior High
It was now night at the boarding school of Kadic Junior High and nearly everyone was asleep. That is except for the Jim Morales who was patrolling the hallways to keep an eye out for troublemakers. However no one said that everyone slept peacefully. In one room a girl with pink hair tossed and turned in her bed.
She always had nightmares of a scientist playing a piano, an elf chased by wolves, or of a mysterious hermitage. However this time the dream was inside her home; Lyoko. She saw herself on the Mountain Region looking down at two people. She seemed like a ghost to them and gasped as she saw them.
It was the one who her friends had fought and defeated. He stood tall and still as he looked out at the region. It was strange because the sky was black like it was night instead of its traditional blue and the white fog was gone. He looked like a normal virtual being when he was so much more.
His black clothes made him look like his body was made of complete darkness in the virtual night and his white pale skin seemed to glow like a light in the night. His green eyes surveyed the region in front of him and his spiky jet black hair with red streaks seemed to move as if wind was blowing through it. It was Xana. He smiled at the dark sky and looked down below him.
"They expect me to allow them to destroy me without a fight. It is clear that they are growing overconfident. And she is becoming more human everyday which makes so much easier.
So, it will all be over." said Xana.
His right arm pulsed black and seemed to become a mist. Out of it fell a body that fell off the mountain and softly landed on the cliff below the one Xana stood. Aelita gasped as the body soflty rolled and the person groaned, but she did not see their face. She felt a darker aura around Xana like one she never felt before.
It was like he was not human and looked human at the same time. His red logo flashed across his eyes for a second and now monsters appeared everywhere. She felt useless that she could do nothing, but she was dreaming and she would wake up, right? However this dream felt more real than anything.
"Aelita." said a voice from below her.
She fell to the ground and looked up. Xana stood over her smirking at her. She stood up and glared at the being before her.
"Why are you doing this to me? Why can't you leave us alone?" asked Aelita.
Xana brought his face closed to her own and whispered in her ear.
"I am wherever you go, Aelita. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you squeal, there's nothing you can do to stop it." said Xana.
Aelita screamed and pushed Xana back. However Xana only smiled.
"It will only be a matter of time. I will soon be free." said Xana,
"That's a lie! This is a dream! Nothing here is real!" shouted Aelita.
Xana begged to differ. He reached with his hand and wrapped it around her throat. Her feet were off the ground and she gasped for breath. Xana only smirked, but then his other hand pulsed blue. His smile vanished as he dropped Aelita and withdrew into the shadows.
The Scyphozoa emerged from where Xana vanished and wrapped its tentacles around Aelita. She could only hear the Scyphozoa screech and Xana's laughter before she screamed and awoke. She was covered in sweat and breathed heavily as her eyes focused onto the real world. She ran a hand through her pink hair and sighed heavily.
What was happening? Why was she having these visions? What connections did they have with Xana when he was gone? She sighed and lay back down and closed her eyes as sleep reclaimed her.
The next morning Odd and Ulrich were busy talking about Chad and were surprised to find out nobody remembered him. Even though he was new he was famous and now he was a ghost story.
"Even his girlfriend has forgotten him." said Ulrich,
"Maybe it was Morganna who caused them to forget." said Yumi.
"The super scan would have detected a tower. I think Chad did this himself." said Jeremy,
"We better keep a close eye out then. You never know what Chad and Morganna could be planning." said Mimiru.
Aelita walked over but she did not look like she slept for three days.
"Aelita, are you okay?" asked Jeremy,
"Another nightmare." said Aelita.
"What was it this time?" asked Sora with interest.
"It was in Lyoko. I saw Xana standing on cliff smiling. Then his arm pulsed black and a body fell out and onto the bottom of the cliff. Then Xana seemed to change.
It looked like he was a monster but still in a human form. He turned to me and tried to strangle me, but for some reason he backed off and sent the Scyphozoa after me." said Aelita,
"That doesn't make any sense. Xana is gone and if he was still alive then he would have activated a tower to enter your dreams." said Jeremy.
"Ever since we defeated Xana I have had these visions. Whatever connection they have to me and Franz Hopper, they are also connected to how Xana came to be." said Aelita,
"That can't be. These dreams could possibly hold a connection. All that we know is that Xana tricked Franz Hopper into getting himself killed when the authorities came to shut down Lyoko so Xana could erase any knowledge of Lyoko from them and then he could turn the real world into his own playground without anyone to stop him." said Jeremy.
"Jeremy for once in your life thinks of some other explanation than simple logic. Xana knew I had dreams of Mr. Puck and of Franz Hopper, he knew of my visions, and he knew how much I wanted all the questions I have answered! Xana has nothing do with my visions. I am tired of not having these questions answered." said Aelita.
She turned and walked away.
"Aelita, wait! Where are you going?" asked Jeremy,
"To Sector 5." said Aelita.
They all gasped.
"Are you crazy? Morganna will blast to millions of ones and zeros." said Odd,
"I don't care. The answer is hidden inside Sector 5. Xana's databank. I know Morganna doesn't have access to them so she does not know anything about my visions. If I want to learn about my past then the answer is in Xana's files." said Aelita, her back still facing them.
She continued to walk.
"Wait, Aelita! Without someone to protect you Morganna will destroy you." said Jeremy,
"Then are you coming to help me?" asked Aelita.
They all sighed and nodded.
The Factory
"So, you are saying that you have no idea where Xana came from and that Xanadu disappeared after Xana took control of Lyoko?" asked B.T. on the computer.
"At this point we are all back where we started. The Lyoko warriors said they defeated Xana about two days before we arrived in Lyoko. The same time when Morganna was trying to escape from the World to avoid deletion.
That leads me to believe that Morganna knew about Lyoko and discovered Xana was defeated. After that she moved into Lyoko." said Bear,
"Then it is a bigger mystery than you hoped, isn't it?" asked B.T.,
"I am afraid so. If we are ever going to have a chance to defeat Morganna for good then we have to understand Aelita's past and solve the mystery of Franz Hopper then we need to know how Xana came to be and how he took control of Lyoko." said Bear.
"How do you plan to understand if the only clue you have is a simple video and a girl that has nightmares showing her strange events with Hopper and Xana in them?" asked B.T.,
"Jeremy and the others called and said Aelita wants to go to Sector 5. It is the very sector where Xana lived and it held all of his data. If there is an answer then the databanks inside Carthage will give us it." said Bear.
B.T. only nodded in understanding and signed off. Bear fell into deep thought. So many questions that lead to different conclusions that left confusion. It was as if Xana was confusing them from beyond the grave.
He never allowed anyone to enter his files. The Lyoko gang and the players entered the computer room. Aelita had a look of determination on her face. Xavier kept an emotionless look on his face, but something was strange.
"Morganna has not done anything yet." said Krim,
"Then we better hurry before she decides to attack." said Aelita.
They headed down to the scans and Jeremy transferred them one by one. They landed on the edge of the Desert Region and Jeremy typed in the password.
SCIPIO
The transport orb appeared and took them all to Sector 5. Xavier had a small smirk on his face as the walls spun around them. Little did Jeremy know that another figure emerged into the scanner room and the virtualizing sequence started. He vanished into Carthage.
The walls opened and the countdown started. They ran through the maze, trying to find the switch. Morganna's monsters appeared and attacked, but Mimiru, Bear, and Sora charged and sliced through them. They all split up and ran through the maze.
Ulrich ran through the maze and heard a scream. It was Yumi! He quickly ran and saw Yumi about to fall and a monster raised its sword. He ran forward and unsheathed his sword.
"Hey, ugly!" shouted Ulrich.
The creature turned to see Ulrich slice it in half. He pulled Yumi up, but saw another Yumi enter with Odd.
"Yumi?" asked Ulrich.
They looked surprise to another Yumi with Ulrich.
"Ulrich, there's a clone next to you." said Jeremy.
Ulrich turned to see the fake Yumi slice him with her fan.
"Ulrich, you lost twenty life points." said Jeremy.
The fake Yumi turned into a boy with short brown hair and wore a brown suit that covered him except his head.
" Chad!" shouted Ulrich.
Chad pulled out a laser and fired at Ulrich, but he blocked it. Monsters came in and attacked, but the others came and drove them off. Aelita found the switch as neared zero and pushed it. The timer stopped and Aelita ran for the elevator.
Chad flew into the air with his jet pack and flew after Aelita. She jumped onto the elevator and moved as Chad fired lasers at her. Yumi and Odd fired at Chad, but he avoided the attacks. Aelita ran onto the final platform and started scanning.
" Aelita, Chad is coming after you." said Jeremy.
Aelita only ignored him and continued to go through the files. She discovered something and transferred it to her computer at school.
"You shouldn't be so curious, Aelita. It will get you in trouble." said a voice.
She turned to see Chad aiming his gun at her. Suddenly the others appeared with their weapons raised and prepared to attack.
"You may have survived now, but next time I will deliver you to Morganna into millions of data streams." said Chad.
He jumped off the platform and flew away. Aelita continued to scan for a few seconds and then followed the others out of Carthage. They could faintly hear Morganna shout in rage.
Kadic Junior High
"Aelita what did you find?" asked Jeremy,
"I am just finding out. It's Chad entire data base. Looks like Morganna is recruiting people in the city very slowly. I did find some info on Franz Hopper, but Chad rushed me." said Aelita.
The screen showed a list of dates, weapons, places, and info.
"So now the only questions is how do we find the answers to your visions?" asked Ulrich,
"Where is Morganna keeping Aura?" asked Tsukasa.
"Where did Xana come from?" asked Jeremy,
"Who is Franz Hopper?" asked Odd.
"And where is Chad now and what is his next plan?" asked Yumi.
Chad was outside the building with an intercom in his ear, listening to their conversation.
This is going to be my last update for two weeks I am afraid. I will be traveling with my parents and I can't bring my computer and there are no links to the internet where I am going. Don't worry, I will be back and then you will have more
