-: DISCLAIMER: I don't own Code: Lyoko, okay: -
"You what!" Jeremy yelled, causing the other patrons of Kadic's library to glare at him.
"I'm sorry Jeremy, but there's nothing I can do," Defended Odd. "My parents want to spend some time with me, and they're hell-bent on achieving that."
"Come to think of it Odd, I've never met your parents." Said Yumi, leaning on a bookshelf with a concerned expression on her face.
"No real surprise, they live up north of (cold French town)." Explained Odd.
"What if Xana attacks?" Asked Jeremy.
"Einstein, even if I were here when Xana attacked, we can't deactivate the tower alone!" Snapped Odd.
Jeremy and Yumi blinked in surprise, seeing Odd angry with a human was a rare occurrence, the most they had ever seen him express was annoyance. To his friends Odd was incapable of hate and loathing.
Odd massaged his forehead in annoyance and stalked out of the library, pushing past Sissy as she entered the room.
"What's up with him?" She asked Yumi.
"I don't know," Admitted the Japanese girl, "I think he just needs-" She was cut of by Jeremy's laptop's erratic beeping.
"XANA has activated a tower!" Said Jeremy, reading the displays on the screen.
Yumi whipped out her cell phone, ignoring the probing look Sissy was giving them. She paused a few seconds before speaking. "I can't get a dial tone!"
"Xana is really pulling out the stops for this one." Commented Jeremy folding
"What are you loonies talking about?" Demanded Sissy, right when a swarm of Hornet monsters from Lyoko smashed through the windows.
"No time, run!" Said Jeremy scooping up his laptop and heading to the door, followed by Yumi who was threw her cellphone with enough force to break one of the
Sissy glanced at them, and then at the menacing Hornets, then back at the 'heroes of Lyoko' again. "Hey! Wait for me!" She chose the lesser of two evils, and ran after them.
Odd leapt to the side, dodging a blow from the Krabbe, and ducked to avoid the blast from its twin. "You're going to have to better than that Xana!" He declared when one of them collapsed to the ground.
As if by magic three more stalked out of the woods next to him.
"Damn." Odd said.
"What is she doing here?" Asked Ulrich in the chamber that held the supercalculator.
"No time, get down to the scanners!" Said Jeremy as Sissy wandered around the room in wonderment.
"Wow." She said, not noticing that Ulrich and Yumi went into the elevator that she had come down in.
"Jeremy, how can we stop Xana?" Asked Ulrich.
"I was working on a character card that when used could deactivate the tower. The problem was we all had form already, what to do…" Said the youth sitting at the console's rotating chair.
"Sissy, would you please go down with Ulrich and Yumi?"
The Program chased the Yin through the air, it vaguely recognized that the energy trails behind it were a troop of Krabbes, it's brethren of Lyoko.
The Yin was tired, and the Krabbes were overtaking it, it was time.
The Program excitedly swooped to the Yin, taking the form of a foul red mist. And the mist swooped into the Yin's lungs.
The final piece was on the game board
"Energy Whip!" Yelled Sissy in Lyoko, a teal line swooped out of her metallic gauntlets and ran across the form of the Tarantula that defended the Tower.
"Impact!" Yelled Ulrich, destroying the Tarantula with his sword, when the blade implanted itself in the symbol on the top of the monster's head.
"Okay Sissy, go into the Tower." Said Jeremy, over the connection between Lyoko and the Earth.
"Got it." Responded Sissy. The girl ran up into the Tower's wall and passed straight through to the other side.
A bright blue light reflected faintly off her white armor, her eyes drifted around in wonder, much like how it had when she entered Lyoko.
She walked into the center of the platform, the symbolized eye's lines lighted up behind her as she walked. A faint teal glow surrounded her, and lifted her up into the air.
Sissy's feet landed on another platform, and the glow faded.
"Jeremy, I'm here, what should I do now?" She asked, raising her hand and forming a holographic panel.
"Just let me do the work," Jeremy said, when the panel melded with Sissy's arm, transferring data from the computer into the Tower.
After a few moments the tower's aura shifted from red to a calm cyan.
"Return to the past now." Said Jeremy.
Back on Earth a white glow erupted from the heart of the factory, resetting everything in it's path to the way it was before Xana attacked.
Except one place.
The place where the Yin was slumped against a tree, one arm resting on it's purple clad knee, the other holding his forehead below where his gelled yellow hair grew.
Odd opened his eyelids, revealing two glowing red retinas and instead of pupils, he had the symbolized eye of Lyoko branded into the center of his eyes.
"Hello, progenitor." He said to the Air
Xana, if he had a mouth at the moment, would have smirked.
"Hello, Verdant." Xana said in what could loosely be called a voice. "Or perhaps you'd like to be called Yin, or maybe Odd?"
Verdant just smirked. "What is your bidding Progenitor?"
Xana paused for a moment. "You are to bring the traitor to me, bring me Aelita."
"It shall be done." Verdant eyes flashed red, as he accepted Xana's command.
And so the darkness consumes everything. Beware children of Eden, oh untainted sinners. For this is your final hour.
bobbyneko: Thanks for the review, anyway to answer your question, and explain what's just happened for the slower of you, Odd is the Yin, and is under Xana's control.
AmericanKitty: Thanks! Anyways, could ou point out these mistakes? I need to rewrite this story so I need to know what I did wrong.
