Well, I'm taking up my three days of not being able to post to be able to make up these chapters. So I hope you enjoy them!
There was a loud crash as the police car drove directly through the doors to the factory. The possessed police officer jammed on the brake, the car flipped over, and slammed into the wall with a crash. He blasted off the door, got out, and slammed open the kids door, locked or not.
He grabbed them and flung them out one by one. Ulrich hit his head against the wall, and looked to his right, to see a long pipe on the ground near him.
X.A.N.A. went over to the elevator, and opened it, then with a beckon of his hand, electricity shot from his hand, and pulled the four towards him. Ulrich ran straight at him, leaping into the air, and slamming the pipe into his chest. He drew plenty of blood, but nothing happened, X.A.N.A. looked at him in fury, and with another flick of his hand, it spun at the wall. And he pulled Ulrich into the elevator with the others.
The elevator stopped and the four were thrown once again on to the floor. Jeremy picked himself up and yelled at him:
"Where's Aelita!"
"I don't know."
They stared at the detective, his voice merged with X.A.N.A. himself.
"You think I did this? You think I want Lyoko to be destroyed? Until further notice, I'm physically bonded there!" he hissed. "I don't know how it happened! It just happened, when I was created, something went wrong!"
X.A.N.A. paced around the room, talking to himself. "He almost completely materialized himself here with two towers! I can just push in my full essence with that! 40 Towers, he probably needs 3!" X.A.N.A. let out an unbearable roar. Then X.A.N.A. returned to reality, looking at the kids again.
"I need you to deactivate those towers!"
Jeremy's mouth dropped. "You want us, to deactivate the towers that keep you here?" "What use is ruling this world if it's completely destroyed!" "We still need Aelita." Yumi added across the room. "What? Why?"
"She's the one who deactivates the towers." X.A.N.A. raised an eyebrow. "Ofcourse, two digital beings. Don't you think they would both have passwords. The goody-goody one gets the nice password, but the bad one gets the sinister one. And if they're both entered at the same time, Lyoko is shut down permanently."
The companions just looked at him again. "I can do it!" he roared. "Work with you, no siree, not gonna happen." Jeremy argued, and the others looked at him. "We worked together to destroy that Mara-whatta-whatever you called it, I let you deactivate the tower home-free. You owe me." He narrowed his eyes. Then he looked at the others who were solemnly shaking their heads in agreement..
"Fine."
X.A.N.A. smirked.
"So what do we need to do, and what's going on?"
X.A.N.A. peered over the chair behind Jeremy, who was typing away at the Supercomputer.
"So, I think, when Hopper created me, I think he created something else."
Jeremy gulped, as he commenced the activated tower scan.
"I think he created something like another me, but except it was only a piece of me, as of a piece of Aelita is hidden on Lyoko. Except it does nothing crucial to me, because as far as you're concerned, I'll be deleted anyway." Jeremy laughs nervously at this point.
"Anyway, this piece, that was hidden away deep within an unreachable point of Sector 5, as you call it, began to slowly merge with its surroundings. Growing to my likeness since it was my sector, where I chose to live. And just recently, it has become powerful enough to attempt materializing itself. And with simply two towers , it materialized itself almost completely.
"Since it absorbed my quarters, infused with my energies to be able to support my inhabitation there. It absorbed materials containing a fraction of my power for years." He sighed, here.
"It is many times more powerful than I am.."
"If it were able to activate all 40 Towers, and gain the same knowledge of The Key I know do, the virtual, and physical world is doomed." Jeremy stopped typing, looking back at him in horrified awe. X.A.N.A.'s expression never changed. "I do not know what it is called, or what it calls itself, but if you were to deactivate those towers. You would suck him, and me, both in."
And unusual on X.A.N.A.'s part, feeling uncomfortable in the grim silence he added.
"I believe that it might now where Aelita's missing piece is. I tosses it away months ago, in your time, and lost it." They scowled at him. "But, I did know that was in the depths of Sdector 5 that even I dare not tread, for now I know why.."
Jeremy swallowed, continueing to type, and gasped.
"X.A.N.A. wasn't lying, there are now 9 towers and counting activated. You expect us to be able to deactivate that many?"
"I don't expect, I know you will, if you don't eant us all to die!" X.A.N.A. raised his voice, the ferocity returning that they were accustomed to. And once again, they all instantly agreed. "Well, you four, hurry off to the scanners!" he said four reflexively, but realized there were infact, four.
Jeremy typed in on the keyboard some more, and brought up the virtualization screen.
"Okay, virtualization, Odd."
"Virtualization, Ulrich."
"Virtualization, Yumi."
He paused for a moment, typing in on the computer again.
"Virtualization, X.A.N.A.!"
Seconds later, one scanner opened up, and the dead policeman's body slumped out.
The three virtualized in the Ice Barrier Zone. And dropped to the ground. "Hey, where's X.A.N.A.?" Odd asked. And as if to answer their question, it seemed like a flash of red lightning struck the ground, and a figure that looked exactly like the one that kidnapped Aelita. Except it black-static, and it had the eyes of X.A.N.A. where his face should've been, and on the back of both of his hands.
They looked at him for a moment, then snapped out of it as he pointed to an activated tower on a high ledge with a path winding around it. They exchanged glances, and went forward. They didn't know what could happen. Was X.A.N.A. really on their side?
As they continued up the walk, sveral wasps buzzed around. But they were different.
"Those monsters are not mine!"
This wasp was a light blue, like the colors of X.A.N.A.'s original monster had been completely inverted, and, on its forehead, was the same insignia the double wore. "You little fraud!" There was a mighty howl of rage from X.A.N.A., and in horror, they watched him clench his fist, the Wasps began flying in a frenzy, until they eventually exploded.
The friends watched, in dumbstruck terror. "Go on, I won't kill you that way for a long time!" he said gruffly. And hurried on up the slope.
Ofcourse, a MegaTank was waiting for them. Except this one was a pure white. X.A.N.A. roared again, the MegaTank was alerted, it opened up, revealing the neon-blue insides. And where X.A.N.A.'s insignia should've been, was the other, stranger one. X.A.N.A sent a torrent of red lightning at it, sending it into the air, and its icy-blue blast blew up through the air.
"Super Sprint!" X.A.N.A stepped back to let Ulrich through. "Guys, I'm sending you your vehicles!" Jeremy's voice was heard. The Overboard, Overbike, and Overwing appeared, and they jumped on eagerly. "I don't need virtual vehicles!" and his hands slowly formed into razor-sharp blades of black-static.
"When I got these!"
He charged forward, but quickly veered to the side as a blast flew past. Then, more Wasps were flying over the ledge, sending blasts at him. He threw his arm, literally, forward, and it broke through the insignia, he pulled it back and it exploded.
"Hahahaha! I'm living again!"
He raised his arms, and two Blocks materialized at either side. "Check out these kitties!" He mentally commanded, and the Blocks' heads spun around, and froze several Invert-Wasps and they fell to the ground below.
He waved his hands once again, and a wave of wasps swept down, firing upon the Invert-Monsters. alongside the three others. If only for a time, X.A.N.A. and the Code Lyoko kids could work together as one.
Yumi slid across the ice, on her knees, and let her fan fly as she devirtualized. The fan flew true, and landed its mark on the insignia inside the Invert-MegaTank. It exploded, and the remaining three looked at eachother." Well, X.A.N.A., go gig 'em!" Odd smiled weakly, and X.A.N.A. nodded weakly. Then he turned, and ran through the side of the tower. The rings of the insignia lighting up as he stepped across them.
When he reached the middle, he floated up into the air until he reached the second platform. This one lighted up all at once. He walked to the middle, where a screen popped up, and he placed his black-static hand on the scan. In a moment, he lifted up his hands, and the screen displayed "XANA". He smirked in satisfaction, then the screen shifted, and the word "CODE:" appeared on the screen.
He typed in a few letters on the cybernetic keyboard, and he looked up again, the screen now saying:
"CODE: APOCALYPSE"
The sides of the virtual space began to shatter, and turn red. X.A.N.A. pixellized, flying through the side of the tower, and reforming before the companions. Then he turned back to the tower, that was shuddering, and out of its top burst a blood-red light. Then the tower appeared to lean over slightly with a groan.
"That, kids, is what happens when you try to deactivate a tower with my password.That's why usually I just activate, if I deactivate, it makes that tower temporarily out of comission until Lyoko's network can repair it." They gulped.
"Too bad I can't do that to you humans every day.."
Well, that's it for this chapter. Which I personally liked, you saw it once, but you'll see it again! X.A.N.A. is actually working with the team! And how I said I was working on this during the three days, I didn't get it posted up until now.
