With ethereal eyes the virtual being known as Xana read the data that hovered before it. Had it had a face it would have momentarily displayed its surprise.
'We seem to have found it.' Was what could pass as a thought went through its artificial mind, 'It has been too long.'
Xana growled to itself, those abominations had deactivated another tower. 'This game is getting old.' It thought to itself as the Scipizoa floated into the smoky chamber, that girl, Yumi, had sliced many of its tentacles off.
The cloud of data enveloped the Scipizoa, absorbing the tentacled monster back into itself. 'Prepare yourself children, for this is your final hour.' Whispered a voice throughout the strange architectural designs that made the fifth sector of Carthage.
"And then, BAM! The Megatanks blew each other apart!" Declared an adolescent boy, his gelled blonde hair standing up in the wind, raising his fist for good measure.
"We know, Odd. It only happened an hour ago." Replied another, his short spiked brown hair moving in the breeze, as they walked to class.
Odd pressed his fist against his waist. "You're just jealous that you don't that the skills that I have, Ulrich." He commented in his typically cheerful voice.
"Yeah, that's it." Responded Ulrich sarcastically, shivering beneath his green long-sleeved shirt. "Aren't you cold?"
"Nope!" Responded Odd happily. "Cold just doesn't affect me, must be my amazing abilities!" He added, to which Ulrich just rolled his eyes as they walked up the steps into the science building.
"Hey, guys." Said a voice from behind them, "Good job with those monsters today." Another boy, at most a year younger than them caught up with them, his straw-colored hair pushed back by the wind.
"Thanks Einstein, it means so much to hear that from you. "
"So how's Aelita, Jeremy"
"Fine, she's in the infirmary recovering from Xana's latest attack." Answered Jeremy, wiping his glasses on his sleeve. "So Odd, studied lately?"
"What do you think?" Responded Odd, "No! I'm not going to ruin my perfect streak, besides were not taking a test today, we're just starting on a new unit."
"Odd, you already broke it, remember?" Jeremy pointed out.
"Oh yeah. But I'm still not going too!" Said Odd, as they walked into the classroom and took their seats.
"Mrs. Hertz is late." Whispered Ulrich five minutes after the bell rang.
"Maybe Xana possessed her." Odd whispered back.
"Very funny, Odd." Snapped Ulrich, a little bit unnerved by Xana's plot to kill them by taking over their English teacher and the various electrical objects throughout the school.
Both Odd and Ulrich visibly jumped when the door slammed open to give access to a human skeleton.
"Settle down class." Commanded Mrs. Hertz from behind the skeleton.
"You jumped!" Accused Odd.
"So did you." Pointed out Ulrich.
"Mr. Stern! I would appreciate it if you didn't talk in my class." Snapped the teacher irritably as she placed the skeleton back on its display.
"Sorry, Mrs. Hertz." Deadpanned Ulrich.
"Well, anyway. Class we're starting the section on human anatomy, so pull out your books and turn to page 178."
The rustle of paper filled through the room, but back on Lyoko, something major was happening
A Tarantula, one of Xana's newest monsters, crept along the ice region cautiously, expecting for the so-called 'Heroes of Lyoko' to arrive. It picked up the pace once it realized that they weren't coming at the moment, and that it had a limited amount of time.
It scuttled along the ice-bridge to one of the waypoint tower, stopping when it noticed the swarm of Hornets guarding it.
One of the Hornets broke from the lazy patrolling of the tower to investigate this new arrival. It hovered around the Tarantula several times, before coming to decision on what do.
It fired, and in return, a barrage of lasers from the Tarantula had destroyed it. However the others were alerted to it's presence and began spraying acid at the intruder.
The Tarantula leapt from ice fragment to ice fragment, avoiding the lasers and acidic spray.
Blam! Blam!
Two Hornets were destroyed, however the others picked up the slack now firing to the place the other would move to before it could even jump. Soon the Tarantula was trapped, but as the saying goes, a trapped rat can still bite.
The Tarantula raised its front legs, carefully aiming at the swarm, and dodging fire at the same time. It moved its left leg from a pool of acid where it stood.
Blam! Blam! Blam!
Three more Hornets fell, leaving behind six more, more than enough to defeat one Tarantula.
Or so they thought.
The larger monster continued firing at the hornets, but they had picked up its fighting style, like it had for them. Several shots were fired by both sides, several shots from both sides missed.
The Tarantula fired more and more desperately, it knew it was going to be deleted if this continued, and if that happened it could not complete its mission. Then it saw an opening.
Behind the Hornets there was a wall of ice, standing almost perfectly vertical. The Tarantula now moved more, combining dodging and firing on the landscape into one motion.
Tssk!
The crystalline wall fell; the blasts from the monsters had severely weakened its base. The Hornets stared up at the collapsing ice, almost in disbelief of this change in events, while the Tarantula seemed to smirk arrogantly at them. The ice shattered, bits of data fell into the digital sea after the hornets were destroyed.
The Tarantula resumed following its path, past the regenerating ice wall, past the canyon walls that hid the tower from view, and past the exterior of the tower.
Icy blue light filled the seemingly endless room, the Tarantula however paid this no attention as it strode into the center of the podium, activating Xana's eye with every step. Light surrounded it as it was lifted up to second podium, strangely reminiscent of how Aelita would when she deactivated one of the towers.
The Tarantula landed, and walked into the center, and a holographic panel appeared in front of it. It glared at the panel, the symbol burned onto its head glowed a bright red at the offending display.

EARTH
The monster was levitated up; the data around it swirled in a hypnotic rhythm, surrounding it from outside view as it faded out of Lyoko.
On Earth one of the scanners opened, and then, it stayed open. Nothing was inside the tube, after a few moments it sealed up.
The Tarantula had served its purpose. Now,finally, the game shall end.
