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 17

Carthage

Odd and Sora ran through the maze as they fought Morganna's creatures. The search for the portal that led to the community centre was not easy, since Morganna decided to keep them away at all cost. However Odd and Sora were not complaining.

"Whoo-hoo!" shouted Sora as he jumped.

He sliced through the monsters and laughed as they vanished.

"Hey, tough guy, how do like this?" asked Odd.

He jumped above the creatures and fired arrows at their heads while in the air. They collapsed and exploded as Odd landed. He smirked at Sora. However, Sora only smirked.

"And people say I'm an arrogant show off." said Sora,

"That's what happens when you tangle with Odd." said Odd.

They heard Jeremy sigh at the computer. It was not a good idea pairing those two on a mission. They kept running to meet the others, but saw something.

"Any sign of Aura?" asked Tsukasa, on the intercom.

"No, but you might be on the look for a new supreme evil." said Odd,

" Chad retired?" asked Ulrich.

"More like 'tired'. As in flattened onto the floor." said Sora.

They saw Chad's body. It was flattened onto the floor of Carthage and Chad had a look of horror on his face.

"Looks like Morganna got sick of Chad and decided to get rid of him." said Mimiru,

" Chad stayed around for the welcoming committee and must have gotten flat." said Odd.

"That means there is someone far more powerful than Chad out there." said Bear,

"The only question is where are they?" asked Krim.

"You guys better get out of there. Morganna might have another army ready." said Jeremy.

"We are so close to the portal that it doesn't even matter." said Sora.

He ran ahead and Odd followed him. Jeremy sighed again.

"Any idea who would flattened Chad?" asked Yumi,

"Must be very powerful." said Ulrich.

"It seems Morganna is getting irate with her lackeys failing so she decided to get a new lackey." said Bear,

"How does she know that Chad's replacement won't fail like the others?" asked Mimiru.

"We found the portal." said Odd on the computer.

"Wait for everyone else." said Jeremy.

It wasn't long before they were all there and entered the portal.

"So, we just need to find the man. He is probably hiding in that secret room." said Yumi.

Subaru followed on her wheel chair.

"You said the man was scared to death when you mentioned Xana and Morganna. He might know something about them that we don't." said Subaru,

"Or about of Morganna's goons." said Mimiru.

"I wonder why he was so scared. Morganna's goons are after us. We are the enemy." said Tsukasa.

They walked to the reception desk, but Jana was nowhere in sight. They looked around and shrugged. They entered the library and looked around.

"Is this where you met that man?" asked Bear,

"Yeah, the secret entrance was at the back." said Yumi.

"No sign of him here. He must be in that room." said Krim.

They saw the door with the lock and Yumi kicked it open.

"Hello?" asked Yumi.

They gasped as they the room torn apart. The desk was shattered, all the documents were burned, and any electronics were fried, and several pieces of the wall were torn apart.

"Looks like Morganna's thugs have been here." said Silver Knight,

"There's a camera right there." said Odd.

He pointed at the remains of a half destroyed camera.

"Maybe Jeremy can fix it." said Ulrich,

"I wonder if there anymore people who know about this." said Aelita.

In a dark room at a computer a dark haired girl about eighteen stood and watched the gang on the camera. She smiled at them. Just as they decided to call Jeremy she pulled out her phone and vanished.


The factory

Jeremy and Xavier stood at the computer, waiting for the others to call back. Suddenly a dark haired woman appeared behind Jeremy.

"What?" asked Jeremy.

She placed her hand over his mouth and he fell of the chair. She turned to face Xavier, but he vanished. She shrugged and pulled out Jeremy's phone. It started ringing and she answered.

"Hello?" she asked.

But it was not her voice it was Jeremy's voice that answered the phone.

"Jeremy, the man at the library has vanished. His room has been destroyed and all documents were burned. It looks like Morganna's goons got to her." said Aelita,

"That's impossible. Morganna has not activated any towers and we defeated her and Chad yesterday. If Morganna's new lackey was at the community centre than it must have been a few hours after we defeated Chad." said Jana in Jeremy's voice.

"Then who could have done this?" asked Aelita,

"I don't know, but think I'll check it out." said Jana.


Outside the factory

A shadowed figure walked out if the factory carrying an envelope. He opened it to see Franz Hopper and the scientists. His eyes glared at Franz Hopper with fierce hatred. He closed the envelope and walked away.

An old man looked out the window of his house. He had everything he wanted. A loving family, a nice home to live for the rest of his life and enough money to feed his family. He has waited a long time.

He looked back onto the old days when he and his friends tried to create a new world, instead created a monster. He heard a beep and headed to the master bedroom.

"Daddy, what is that on the computer?" asked his daughter.

His body froze when he saw it. It stared at him. The computer shut off then exploded. His daughter screamed and hid behind him as a figure appeared on the balcony.

She did not know him, but her father did. He slowly walked over and opened the door. The being smirked and entered the room. The man trembled as the figure walked past him.

"What, no 'hello'? No 'how are you'? I believe the word you are looking for 'Aaaaah'!" said the being, mockingly,

"What do you want? I never told the government anything after the stunt you pulled." said the man.

"Daddy, who is he?" asked the man's daughter,

"Just an old friend dropping by to say hello. Don't worry, no damage will come. I have just decided to make sure that the secret will remain hidden." said the being.

The man pulled out a gun and fired at the being. Just as it flew the being dodged and jumped at him with great speed. The girl was scared out of her mind and then heard a screech. The being flew the man out onto the balcony and then something caught him.

There was a red glow and then the man fell to the ground.

"Daddy!" shouted the girl,

"Your little daddy will be fine. He just has no idea of who I am or what happened. Just the way I like it." said the being.

He vanished and the girl screamed.


The factory

Jeremy awoke only remembering seeing a woman appear.

"Jeremy?" asked a voice.

He looked to see Xavier sitting above him.

"What happened?" asked Jeremy,

"Morganna's new lackey." said Xavier.

"What?" asked Jeremy,

"She appeared and knocked you out. I don't what happened next. I ran to the elevator and tried to call the others, but it seemed Morganna was jamming my signal. A tower was activated for a few seconds before Morganna's new lackey vanished." said Xavier.

"I better warn the others." said Jeremy.

He walked to the computer and started dialing.


The community centre

Aelita's phone rang as they headed back to the portal.

"Hello?" asked Aelita,

"Aelita, are the others okay?" asked Jeremy's voice.

"Yes they are fine. Why?" asked Aelita,

"I think Chad's replacement just paid me a visit." said Jeremy.

"But that's impossible, I just talked to you a few seconds ago." said Aelita,

"That wasn't me. I was knocked out." said Jeremy.

Aelita's eyes widened. The others looked at her.

"I think I might have just told the enemy where we are." said Aelita,

"What?" asked Tsukasa.

"Jeremy said the Morganna's new lackey knocked him out." said Aelita,

"Then that means . . ." said Bear.

"You know what that means." said a voice.

They turned to see Jana wearing purple pants and a purple jacket over her black T shirt.

"So, you're the new supreme evil." said Mimiru,

"Surprised?" asked Jana.

"Not at all." said Mimiru,

"Then about I make things a little scary?" asked Jana.

Odd grabbed an object and threw it at Jana. But just as it was near Jana raised her hand and it stopped in the air. Jana smirked at them. She pulled out a blue sphere and they all vanished into a flash of light.

They found themselves back in Carthage and an army of monsters surrounded them.

"Guys!" shouted Jeremy from the intercom.

"Jeremy, give me all the data you stole from Morganna's databanks or else they will be deleted." said Jana.

She wore a silver and red jump suit and clawed hand and her head was concealed by a mask plate with yellow visors. In her hand was a silver orb.

"That's a lie." said Jeremy,

"You think?" asked Jana.

A tower in the Desert Region started to glow purple. Jeremy gasped as the scanners went off line. Jana smirked underneath her mask.

"Any more comments?" asked Jana,

"You think we would be dumb enough to leave the data where Morganna's goons could find it?" asked Odd.

"I guess then you will be deleted." said Jana,

"If we are gone then Jeremy can shut off Lyoko and then Morganna will be gone." said Yumi.

"Eddy would have fallen for that maybe even Chad, but I have news for you. I am not your typical brainless lackey. Now tell me about the attacks on the scientist who were friends of Franz Hopper." said Jana,

"I thought you did that." said Bear.

"If Morganna wanted something from them then she would have gone after them a long time ago." said Jana,

"Then who did attack them and why?" asked Yumi.

"All that I know is that their memories of certain events were erased." said Jana,

"Enough talking, Jana. Take back the disk. Use the locator to see if they know anything about the attacks." boomed Morganna's voice.

She raised her hand the orb flew around them and started glowing around Yumi. Jana raised her hand and Yumi floated into the air.

"What are you doing to her?" asked Ulrich,

"Just about to see what the scientist knew." said Jana.

"No!" shouted Morganna.

Jeremy started typing fast as the purple tower was now glowing green.

"Jana, destroy them!" shouted Morganna.

Jana raised her hands and the creatures prepared to attack.

"Materialization!" shouted Jeremy.

They all vanished as the creatures attacked. Jana growled as Morganna screamed in anger.

"So now we have Jana to worry about." said Jeremy,

"You think she's worse than Chad?" asked Aelita.

"Worse than Spire, Eddy, and Chad combined." said Krim,

"He's right. We barely escaped." said Ulrich.

"What was Jana talking about when she said that the people who were attacked had memories of certain events erased?" asked Mimiru,

"They all where friends of Franz Hopper." said Yumi.

"Then that means somebody else is behind this." said Bear,

"Who else knows about Lyoko?" asked Subaru.

Xavier stayed quite the whole time. He was deep in thought as Morganna would be planning her next move.
