lostmoonchild: Part two of chapter nine is here! I don't own Code: Lyoko or any of the songs unless I say otherwise so don't sue me! Other people are mine, including the assholes. Just a quick warning, this part might suck so don't blame me. I'm not used to writing battle scenes.
CHAPER NINE PART 2
last time:
Before they could say anything, they heard a sound that didn't sound human or like any animal they had ever heard of. This sound was something completely evil and suddenly they knew that the battle for survival had begun. Shouting their battle cries, the six teenagers took off running towards XANA, fear not even showing in their eyes.
Today, only one side would walk away alive and the other would be completely destroyed.
This time:
If XANA felt any fear now, he didn't show it as they charged at him. The way he figured it, there was no reason to be afraid of a bunch of insolent little brats that were barely any threat to him. At least, they weren't until they battled against him and got stronger each time just as he had. Except they seemed to be tripling in strength while he doubled in strength. Now, they were threats that had to be taken care of before everybody he had destroyed somehow managed to pull escapes like they did and manage to come back to torment him.
He frowned as they surrounded him, each of them staying a safe distance away from him. "Do you honestly think you can defeat me?" XANA asked with a cold voice.
"No." Morgan said simply. "Not without almost getting killed in the process."
XANA frowned and said, "Don't make me kill you slowly."
"Sorry, Shi, you already did. You killed all of us." Yumi said coolly.
XANA's eyes narrowed and he started shouting at them before charging. They ran as fast as they could trying to keep from getting stabbed by XANA's claws but Jeremy ended up getting his back clawed. He made a fist and punched XANA has hard as he could earning a pleased yell from the two Japanese girls as XANA stepped backwards, shocked. "THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! YOU DO NOT FIGHT!" XANA shouted struggling to keep his nose from bleeding.
Jeremy looked shocked but stood in front of Aelita, standing as tall as he possibly could as if trying to make it clear that he wouldn't give Aelita up without a fight. "I do fight against you, XANA. I fought against you just to free Aelita and if it weren't for my friends, she wouldn't be free from you now." Jeremy said calmly. "You took her away from me once, I'm not letting her go away again. Not with you."
"The dancer and merchant, lovers forever, torn apart by Fate's cruel hands destined to be forever together again." Yumi said calmly. "You should know that, XANA. You were the one who tore them apart years ago. But they were reborn and Fate has allowed them to be reunited once again."
"ENOUGH!" XANA shouted charging at Yumi.
Yumi dodged and kicked at XANA, completely forgetting the weapon she had in her hands. "Aelita, hide somewhere." Jeremy said calmly still looking at XANA.
"I'm not running." Aelita said calmly. "I can't explain it, Jeremy, but I feel a need to stay with you."
"That's true love right there!" Morgan shouted with a grin.
Odd stood in front of Morgan as Ulrich stood in front of Yumi. XANA looked furious as he stared at the teenagers, before starting to laugh coldly. "You honestly think that your pathetic means of defending the girls from me will work? I'll still take them away and just to be nice, I'll let you watch them die before you die." XANA said coldly.
They stepped back, the girls clinging to their boyfriends. The guys each put an arm out preventing XANA from attacking. Suddenly, XANA charged at them and a dark light escaped Jeremy's body. He looked shocked as XANA stepped back after the strange light damn near hit him. "Yami!" Morgan exclaimed happily looking shocked. "That means that Aelita-chan is..."
When XANA attempted to get at them again, a bright light escaped Aelita's body. "Hikari." Yumi whispered holding onto Ulrich's arm.
XANA frowned and said, "You'll wish you hadn't done that!"
He charged at them and a cry of pain escaped Ulrich's lips as he felt XANA's claws go through his stomach. "ULRICH!" Yumi screamed a dark aura escaping her body and wrapping around everybody.
XANA flew backwards as Yumi's aura flared and yelled in fury at the Japanese girl. They started shaking as XANA stood back up and frowned at them. "Don't think you're so clever, girl. That was a cheap shot." XANA hissed.
"Don't you dare touch any of them." Yumi whispered coldly.
"You lot are like me, you realize that." XANA said calmly staring at them. "Each of you, cursed with a gift. Forced to walk this earth, bound to someone else for survival."
"HERE'S A KICK TO GO WITH THAT WHINE!" Morgan shouted charging at XANA and kicking him as hard as she could, screaming at him in Japanese.
XANA grabbed Morgan by the throat and started choking her until Odd fired some arrows at XANA. "Put her down!" Odd shouted with a cold glare.
"As you wish." XANA said throwing the Japanese girl to the ground and kicking her, causing her to cry out.
"NOT AGAIN!" Morgan screamed a ball of fire forming around her body and burning the grass. "I WON'T BE LIKE THIS AGAIN!"
XANA jumped back to avoid being burned and looked shocked as Odd quickly got to Morgan's side and pulled her back, away from XANA without getting burned. Ulrich looked at his hands and saw blood from his injury dripping from his wounds. "Yumi, how can we get rid of XANA?" Ulrich asked.
"To be perfectly honest, no idea. Everybody's who's ever fought against Shi has ended up dead." Yumi answered quietly.
XANA charged at Jeremy and Aelita, managing to claw them both before jumping back. "Mmm." XANA said licking their blood off of his claws. "I should keep you all alive if your blood tastes this good."
"FUCKING BASTARD!" Morgan screamed pulling away from Odd and screaming when XANA scratched her face.
Odd grabbed Morgan and pulled her back towards their friends. "What are we going to do?" Aelita asked watching as blood poured between Morgan's fingers from the wound on her face.
"What do you think?" Morgan asked struggling to get away so she could charge at XANA again.
"Think for five seconds, Ami." Yumi said calmly. "he's going to kill you and then she's going to be without a mother."
"Fuck." Morgan muttered with a sigh, watching as XANA smiled coldly at them. "And I"m about ready to just blow him to bits..."
"AMI THAT'S IT!" Yumi shouted an idea forming in her head. "Guys, retreat!"
They took off running barely aware that XANA was following behind them, giving them a glare that if looks could kill, would have killed them. "Jeremy and Aelita, that way!" Morgan shouted understanding the plan. "Ulrich, go ahead. Yumi, you know where to go! Odd, follow me!"
They split up and waited as XANA ran right into their trap. From a distance, they could hear police sirens and Yumi bit her lip as they made themselves known. "You murdered innocent people." Jeremy said calmly.
XANA smiled coldly and said, "You have no idea on how many and how right you are."
They charged at XANA and a yell escaped Odd's lips as he felt a burning and some of his ribs crack. "ODD!" Morgan screamed when Odd fell to the ground.
Aelita cried out in pain as she felt XANA start clawing at her and jumped back as Jeremy punched at XANA. Ulrich kicked XANA and Yumi kicked XANA in the groin, stepping back as he groaned in pain. "How'd Odd?" Yumi shouted back at her cousin.
"He's unconcious!" Morgan shouted back glaring at XANA.
The air heated up around them and intinctively, they knew what had to be done. "Beware of fire and ice... of light and dark... night and day.." Yumi whispered as different colored energies surrounded them. "Torn apart by Fate but brought back again."
XANA backed away and started shouting at them to stay back. Morgan stayed by Odd's side but that didn't stop her from glaring. "There's a rule, XANA, that you should remember. What goes around, comes around." Aelita said calmly holding onto Jeremy's hand.
"You tore every one of us apart from our loves, but we're reunited again." Ulrich stated grabbing Yumi's hand and holding tightly.
"We will defeat you, even if that means we die as well." Jeremy said keeping his eyes on XANA.
"All the sorrow and pain, you shall pay for." A soft voice whispered.
They closed their eyes as the lights around them brightened. XANA screamed as the light consumed him, tearing away at his flesh. He could feel his eyes being gourged out from their sockets, his tongue being ripped from his mouth. His bones broke and he fell to the ground trying to attack them but he couldn't move because of how powerful they were... No, XANA realized, they weren't that powerful... They were furious. Furious that he had taken away from them their right to live happily.
A final scream could be heard from XANA as the light completely surrounded him. When the light vanished, XANA was nowhere to be found. The four teenagers fell to the ground and five people laughing could be heard, one silenced due to being knocked unconcious. "We did it.. We finally did it.." Aelita whispered when Jeremy held her close.
"Not quite." A cruel voice hissed.
They looked around and saw a man with evil eyes staring at them. "Oh double fuck." Yumi and Morgan said at the same time.
"You didn't think you were going to get rid of the THAT easily, did you? None of you are capable of murder... You all know that."
"Ami, don't listen." Yumi whispered as Morgan began shaking with anger. "Ignore him."
The man smirked and said in a mocking voice, "Oh yes, Ami, ignore the bad man. Try to hide your anger from the bad man just like you manage to hide your anger towards your parents from everybody in the whole world. You want to hurt somebody, don't you? Show somebody how much you hurt right now."
"DAMARE!" Morgan screamed closing her eyes tightly. "YOU DON'T EXIST! YOU DON'T EXIST ANYWHERE BESIDES IN NIGHTMARES! YOU ARE EVERYBODY'S NIGHTMARE! YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE A GIVEN RIGHT TO BE FEARED! TO CAUSE PAIN TO EVERYBODY!"
Everybody stared at the Japanese girl, shock showing in their eyes from her outburst. "Good. Be afraid."
"I am not afraid!" Morgan said calmly. "I'm not even angry... You should be afraid though... You should be very, very afraid."
The man stepped back clearly shocked. "What do you mean! I am everlasting! I cannot die!" The man shouted.
Morgan frowned and said, "By the moon's blood, I summon thee. I summon thee, my protector..."
Yumi's eyes lit up in recognization and she said with her cousin, "Protect thee and thy own from the Forbidden One's wrath, send him back to where he belongs..."
"The power flows through our veins, the power shall set us free again. Send him back, my protector! Send him away and back to the fiery depths of Hell from which he has come!" They shouted a shadow appearing and grabbing the now screaming man. "The power of my own lives forever, repeating the unending cycle for the rest of eternity!"
They smiled wearily at eachother and struggled to stand again. When they were all standing, Ulrich helped get Odd up and they headed back towards the dorms completely exhausted. "Never thought I'd say this.. but he was scared shitless." Yumi said with a grin. "Guess getting threatened by Jason helped. Right?"
Morgan smiled sleepily and said, "Right now, Ishiyama, all I want is to sleep."
"Sounds good. We'll all sleep in Kaze's dorm." Jeremy said with a grin.
"Belpois, that has got to be one of the best ideas I've heard all fucking day." Morgan answered as they walked into her dorm and shut the door behind them, locking it just to be sure they weren't interrupted.
They each chose their own place to sleep and within minutes, were all sound asleep, completely exhausted from the day's events.
lostmoonchild: It sucked, I admit it. I'm better at writing lemons but unfortunately for all you lemon lovers out there --and fortunately for any lemon haters out there-- there won't be any lemons in this story. I would have let my brother write the battle scene but he doesn't know a thing about Code: Lyoko except for all the characters... but anywho. Read and review, flames are accepted as always. Constructive critism counts as well.
