Boy I bet you are all happy. I am updating finally. Anyway it isn't like I am getting writers block or anything, just that I am getting a little tired of writing. With school and everything else that I have to do I itch, so to speak, more for other things than writing. Don't worry though, I will never stop, at least not until it is finished...

The Towers Continued

The Traveler

X.A.N.A. had begun becoming accustomed to the new functions of Lyoko. Before I had made any changes X.A.N.A. had been like a god, but now that I had made those changes and had turned the virtual Lyoko into the Lyoko Holy Grounds X.A.N.A. had become a god. He did not yet fully know his new abilities, and for that I was thankful.

He did, however, know that he could bend space and time within the Holy Grounds. He had done so and if I were to continue transporting the children there was a very high probability that they would either die or something similar. I had begun preparing myself to undo what X.A.N.A. had done. To do so I would have to transform myself into something that I had become recently. It was a creature that was similar to a god, yet was different in many ways.

I was morphing; my body was changing into the more powerful form that I needed to be to defy the absolute rules of a universe, and the will of a creature that had been given god-like status. As I morphed my wings reappeared stretching out to their full span. I had four wings, two bird-like and two bat-like. They were supposed to represent good and evil.

As I continued morphing my body took on a water-like quality which was how my species morphed. My bones shifted places and began adjusting themselves in places. As they did so my legs reversed direction and my wings adjusted themselves closer together. A greenish fur began growing all along my body and a tail sprouted behind me. My neck grew six centimeters longer and the tops of my ears stretched up and backwards taking on an elfish appearance. My mouth and face elongated and my teeth grew longer and sharper.

I was becoming what I had come to call an Absolute God Arisiticen. It was the most powerful form of my race. It had the appearance of a werewolf but it looked very different. My wings grew together forming two wings that looked like a combination of bat and bird wings, and my tail suddenly split into three and grew much longer. As I neared the final stages of the transformation my previous cloths were absorbed into my skin and my fur took on a golden green appearance.

Well, X.A.N.A. lets see how powerful you have become. I said in a form of telepathy that used both mental sounds and images. It doesn't matter really, I am more powerful, and your end is near.

I raised both hands in front of me; slowly I brought them together and began drawing energy to them. A small ball appeared in between them, the ball was emanating a golden green glow. As I continued drawing energy to it ten more balls appeared around it they were the colors of the elements, all ten of them. The element balls began to vibrate as they became accelerated and they suddenly took on a metal appearance just as the ones that I had used before did. Slowly I brought the elements into the other ball which had grown much larger and taken on the metallic appearance.

Just try to manipulate this. I said as I released the energy.

A sharp wind was generated as the energy spread out in a beam and dark holes appeared everywhere around me. I directed the energy at the places where the others had disappeared and it suddenly hit something. I could see ripples in space around the beams as they pushed against the invisible substance. Suddenly my energy spread out against it engulfing what ever was there and it began eating away at it. I pushed a little harder and the thing disappeared.

Somewhere in the distance I heard a scream of pain. The scream's echo vibrated throughout the Holy Lands. I knew that I had wounded what could be considered to be immortal. But I also knew that X.A.N.A. would find a way to heal before long. He would be back to stop me again.

I released the form that I was on and changed back to my original self. I turned back to the children, all of whom were shaking frightened. I gently told them that they could stop hiding now and they got up and turned around. I saw that some of them had actually been crying. I then remembered, rather foolishly, that even though they took on adult appearances in this realm they were still only children.

In the next chapter you will get to find out what is going on with Lyoko. I have given a decent description but I still hope you all enjoy it.
