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.
Hey everybody. I'm back and since you guys have waited for some new updates then that is what you will get.
Chapter 17
Lyoko
Forest Region
Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita waited for the others to arrive. Today was another attempt to get some data from Sector 5 and where Morganna was recruiting her human followers. Everybody was ready, especially Aelita. She was not really interested in locating the human followers of another evil AI, but to find out what was the connection between her, Franz Hopper, and Xana.
Soon enough Yumi, Tsukasa, and Mimiru arrived. The rest stayed in the real world just incase Morganna tried to activate a tower.
"Everybody ready?" asked Jeremy,
"Let's get this show on the road." said Odd.
"Entering password." said Jeremy.
SCIPIO
The transport orb soon appeared and took them to Sector 5. Chad appeared from behind a tree. He put his hand on the inter com in his ear.
"They are heading for Sector 5." said Chad,
"Has the trap been placed?" asked the voice of Morganna.
"Everything is ready. Just in case it doesn't work I have a back up plan." said Chad,
"It better work unless you want to share Eddy's fate or something worse." said Morganna.
Chad mentally shuddered. The warriors soon appeared in Sector 5. The walls spun around them, but got slower as every second passed.
"Jeremy, the walls are about to open." said Yumi,
"Be ready guys." said Jeremy.
The walls opened and they ran into the depths of Carthage. The doors opened and it didn't take long to spot the switch. It was on the other side guarded for 5 creatures with swords. Chad appeared from behind them.
"Bad idea coming here. Now I can deliver Aelita to Morganna and get rid of you." said Chad,
"That's what you think." said Ulrich.
They raised their weapons. Just as the creatures and Chad prepared to attack Yumi and Tsukasa used their powers. Yumi's power held them in the air and Tsukasa's power was able to freeze them in time.
"That was easy." said Yumi.
Mimiru pushed the switch and the counter stopped.
"Great work guys. Now get Aelita to the interface and let's see what Morganna is thinking." said Jeremy.
Just as the door opened and large stream of fire flew at them. They ducked, but Mimiru used her sword to created a shield the blocked it.
"So much for too easy." said Mimiru, looking at Yumi.
They ran to the elevator, but as soon as they were gone the energy around Chad vanished. He landed on his feet.
"Well, are they gone?" asked Morganna,
"The trap didn't work. We underestimated their abilities." said Chad.
"There was no 'we', Chad. You came up with the plan and it seems I overestimated your abilities. I just ask that you simply bring Aelita to me and it seems it's too hard for you." said Morganna,
"There is always plan 'B'." said Chad.
"It better work, because I am out of patience." said Morganna.
The warriors got onto the elevator and headed for the final platform, but as they neared a portal opened. They ended up in a room that had a locked up door. Ulrich kicked opened the door and found themselves in a community centre.
"This is where Morganna is getting her thugs?" asked Yumi,
"Doesn't seem like the place where you can randomly pick people to do your dirty work." said Ulrich.
At the front desk was a girl about eighteen dressed in gothic style with long black hair and dark eyes. Her skin was lightly tanned, she had earrings on her ears, and she looked at them with an emotionless look. The desk label said her name was Jana.
"Excuse me, but do you know a kid named Chad Nexus. Brown hair, brown eyes and . . . "asked Mimiru,
"Don't know any kid named Chad." Jana rudely interrupted.
Mimiru glared at her angrily. She hated rude people and wasn't afraid to show it. Just as she was about to yell Tsukasa put a hand on her wrist and shook her head. Mimiru calmed down, but still glared at Jana. She marched out of the room and the others followed her.
Jana watched as they left.
"We better get back into Lyoko." said Ulrich,
"But how?" asked Yumi.
"The same way we came here. Through that portal in the back." said Mimiru,
"We should also keep an eye on this place and don't forget that Chad and Morganna could still be active." said Tsukasa.
"I'll stay since I am day student. I'll just tell my parents I will study late." said Yumi.
They all nodded and Yumi left as they entered the portal. As they entered Carthage they saw the monsters still in the air.
"Hey wasn't Chad with them?" asked Mimiru,
"Looks like you were right Tsukasa. Chad is still on the loose." said Aelita.
"That means he could be at the Community Centre." said Ulrich.
Just as turned to head back Morganna's monsters appeared.

Back at the Community Centre Yumi looked around and saw Chad talking to the librarian. He looked to be in his fifties.
"I told you, I don't what you are talking about." said the man,
"You wish I didn't know. Now where is the information?" asked Chad.
"Hey, Chad, didn't your mother tell you to respect your elders?" asked Yumi.
He turned to see and then ran off. Yumi ran out into the streets where it was dark in night. She saw a shadow in a nearby alley and followed it. She reached into her pocked and pulled out a flash light.
"Where are you? I know you are here somewhere." Yumi muttered.
It was obvious that Chad had escaped again. Yumi growled in frustration. Next time Chad will get away. She then wondered who the old man was. She headed back to library and found he was gone.
However she noticed a strange door and tried to open it. It seemed the door was locked.
"Time for the direct approach." she said.
She kicked open the door and walked in. The room seemed very old and very dusty. On the wall she saw pictures of herself, her friends, the players, Morganna's thugs, and Xana's symbol. Eddy and his pet dog had a large red X on them, meaning they were gone, but Xana's logo wasn't covered with a red X.
"Guess he didn't like Eddy and his dog." muttered Yumi.
She saw some papers and saw a picture. But this picture had Franz Hopper. Others had him too. He sat in front of Kadic Junior High with a group of teachers and in the other picture he was a woman that looked a lot like Aelita and she looked pregnant.
She heard a noise and saw the old man hiding in the corner, hoping not to be seen.
"You can come on out. I know there." said Yumi.
The man stepped out and glared at her.
"What do you think you're doing here?" asked the man,
"Looking for some answers to few questions I have and looks you might have them." said Yumi.
"What do you mean?" asked the man,
"The pictures of us, the players, Morganna's thugs, Franz Hopper, and Xana's logo beg to differ. And you know that Eddy and his dog have been deleted." said Yumi.
"You don't understand. Keep playing in that world and you will help him win." said the man,
"Who are you talking about? We faced Morganna and defeated Xana." said Yumi.
"Defeated Xana? That is a joke. You think a simple energy blast can defeat someone like Xana? It was all a mistake to let Franz Hopper experiment with that technology and look where it got him." said the man,
"What do you mean that defeating Xana is a joke? If you know about Morganna and us then you should know that we defeated Xana when he launched his last attack." said Yumi.
"And you should know why Xana wanted Aelita's memory." said the man,
"Then you know why Aelita has had nightmares." said Yumi.
"It is never to be spoken. If I tell you then Morganna will know and hunt us down 'till we tell her. She is looking for a way to get past the encryptions Xana placed on his files. If she knows then Lyoko and Aelita are doomed.
Franz Hopper's very will has turned to madness!" said the man,
"Stop talking in riddles and tell me what you know!" shouted Yumi.
The man bolted out the door before Yumi could catch and Yumi chased after him. She found he was gone. She growled and headed back to the portal.
As she ran she saw the man trying to open the door. She moved quick and grabbed him by the shoulders. His face was covered in fear as he saw her,
"Leave me alone! Morganna knows I am here. She will not rest until she has captured me." said the man,
"Then tell me everything you know about Lyoko and Franz Hopper and my friends will protect you." said Yumi.
"All right, but you must keep your promise." said the man.
Just as they headed back Chad appeared and lunged at them. Yumi jumped in front of Chad and blocked his attack. Chad growled as the man cowardly fled to the door and entered the portal. Chad turned and ran out of the Community Centre.
Yumi followed the man into Carthage. He looked the same as he did in the real world and he pointed ahead of her. She saw her friends fighting the forces of Morganna. She ran towards them helped out.
Ulrich raised his sword and blocked one of the monsters attack and parried. Yumi threw her fans that sliced through two of them.
"All forces of Lyoko, I summon you!" shouted the man.
Suddenly creepers that did not have Xana's logo on them appeared and fired at Morganna's monsters.
"What?" shrieked Morganna's voice throughout Carthage.
Suddenly a laser hit the man in the back. He turned to see Chad holding his laser.
"Time to get rid of you once and for all, old man." said Chad,
"Respect your elders." said the man.
He threw his stick that hid Chad's legs and knocked off balance. The creepers were nearly done with Morganna's monsters and the gang watched in shock and awe. Morganna shrieked in rage and from the shadows emerged Skeith. Just as Skeith prepared to attack the man swung his stick with his powers that where like Yumi's and hit Skeith in the head with great force.
Skeith was knocked off balance but regained it soon enough. They gang ran for the elevator and headed for the final platform as Skeith turned and faced. They reached the final platform and Morganna's gargoyles appeared and attacked.
"Jeremy, program the vehicles. Now!" said Ulrich,
"On the way." said Jeremy.
The vehicles appeared and the gang jumped on them. Aelita began accessing the data. Chad flew out of the floating rob with his jet pack and took careful aim at Aelita. Mimiru who was on the hoverboard saw him and flew right at him.
Chad turned to see Mimiru swing her sword but managed to dodge. He fired his laser at her but Mimiru managed to block his lasers with her large sword. Aelita opened a file and a virtual disk appeared.
"What have you found, Aelita?" asked Jeremy,
"A virtual disk." said Aelita.
"I think it is time you guys get out of there." said Bear,
"All right. Take over, Jeremy." said Aelita.
" Chad, don't let them leave with the disk!" shouted Morganna's voice.
Chad flew and grabbed it. He laughed as floated in the virtual space and the gargoyles surrounded him.
"Ready for pick up." said Chad to the intercom on his ear.
A force field appeared around him as Yumi threw her fans.
"I got an idea." said Tsukasa.
He raised his staff and closed his eyes. It now glowed red and fired a crimson beam that destroyed the force field and the gargoyles. Yumi used her powers and the disk flew into her hands.
"No!" shouted Chad.
The data streams for one of the sectors vanished and the warriors flew through it.

Kaidc Junior High
"So this man knows about Lyoko?" asked Jeremy,
"He seemed to know about Franz Hopper and he had pictures of us. He also knows about Morganna." said Yumi.
Xanadu/Xavier listened carefully to her as she talked about the man. His face was emotionless but deep down he was both shocked and angry. He had to deal with the man quick.
"We left him in Carthage, but I think he escaped through the portal." said Yumi,
"Any idea what the disk is for, Jeremy?" asked Ulrich.
"It contains info Morganna's future plans.She must be planning something big if she was desperate to stop us." said Jeremy.
"We better get some sleep. I doubt Morganna will let me have some beauty sleepso I better get somenow." said Odd.
The gang agreed. It was a long day.

Community Centre
The man entered the libary and opened the secret door. He walked to the desk and looked at the pictures. Maybe that girl and her friends can help.Suddenly he felt someone in the room.
He looked around and saw no one though. Something wasin the room and chilled him to the bone.
"Who's there?" asked the man,
"Just an old friends." said a cold voice.
He recognized that voice as the figure came out of the shadows.
"So, Dr. Black, you are still in the city after all these years. I can't say I am not happy to see you again. This just makes things awhole lot easier." said the figure.
It walked over to the pictures and locked its eyes on them. He was looked onto Franz Hopper and his wife, then to the teachers.
"Doctor, are any of your old colleages still in the city? How come they never bothered to visit me? That is no way to treat family." said the figure.
He turned and glared at the terrified man. His fear made the person smile.
"Relax, I am just going to erase your memories of me and every little thing Franz Hopper did that made your life miserable." said the figure.
A flash of red light covered the room and a scream echoed into the night.

Location Unknown
"So, you failed to stop them taking it?"said a woman's voice.
Chad looked nervously at the chair that was turned to him. They were in a dark room with complete blackness. The only light was above him and the chair.
"They tricked me. I never meant it to happen.Please don't punish me." begged Chad.
This seemed to amuse the woman and the chair turned. The woman wore a black dress down to her legs and a blue jacket. It was Jana from the front desk of the Community Centre.
"Now would I punish you?"asked Jana,
"They took the disk." said Chad, shrugging.
Jana only smirked which scared him.
She walked over until she was a few feet away.
"About you just have some time to think of what you have done?" asked Jana,
"Sure." said Chad.
"Then think of how useless you are!" snappedJana.
She pointed her figure at Chad and a blue aura appeared around her.
"No!" shouted Chad.
He vanished into a flash of blue light. Jana walked back to her chair and smiled.
