Chapter 9- The Final Battle
Flash back
XANA let Franz Hopper go free. The gang found him in sector five. Jeremy transported them to the forest sector. Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich came through the scanners. Laura and Aelita led Franz to a nearby tower. They entered the tower. Franz went to the middle floor. Jeremy brought Aelita and Laura back. The two girls waited down in the scanner room. Jeremy worked on the program that will bring Franz Hopper.
"Here we go." Jeremy said. The boys went down to the scanner room. The middle scanner open, and Franz Hopper walked out. He saw the gang.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"On Earth. We brought you back." Odd said. No one notice that Laura left the scanner room.
"You mean I can live on Earth again?" Franz asked.
"Yep. I fixed so you are no longer be chase by the government. I also made you a new id. You now go by Franz Stone." Jeremy said as he handed all the papers to Franz.
"Thanks. Where did the other girl go? The one with blonde hair. I think I know." Franz said.
"I will go find her." Odd said as he headed for the elevator.
Laura ran until she was deep in the woods. She climbed a tree. She sat on the branches that were close to the middle. She started to cry.
"Why did I do this? Aelita found her father. I should be happy for her, but it made miss my parents. What do I do? I know that is the real Franz Hopper because XANA didn't want him XANA wants me. This too hard for me." Laura thought as she stay hidden in the tree. She closed her eyes.
Odd searched the park, but no Laura. He ran to her room, but she wasn't there. Then he ran to the woods. The dew made the ground. Laura's footsteps were fresh in the dirt. Odd followed them until he came to the tree Laura was in. He started to climb it. He found Laura.
"Laura, are you ok?" Odd asked as he reached for Laura. Laura jumped out of the daze she was in.
"How did you find me?"
"The ground was soft from the morning dew, that you left you footsteps. What wrong?"
"When we found Franz today, Aelita was happy. I was glad for her, but it made me miss my parents more. Here is a person that I know, that was my family's best friend, and all I can be is unhappy. What do I do?"
"First, come and met Franz. Then talk to him. He was asking about you. He thinks he remembers you." Odd said. Then cell went off. It was Ulrich.
"Hi, Odd. Did you find Laura?"
"Yeah."
"Where are you two?"
"In the woods."
"Stay there. We are not too far away. Keep Laura there."
"Ok I will."
"I will give you a call when we are near."
"Ok."
"Remember to keep Laura with you. Franz wants to talk to her. I got to go. Bye."
"Bye." Odd said as he hanged up. He looked at Laura.
"What did Ulrich want?"
"He said that Franz wants to talk to you."
"Oh."
"Let's get out of this tree and sit on the bench." Odd said.
"Ok." Odd jumped out of the tree. Laura started to jump. Odd caught her.
"Smile. Don't worry about anything." Odd said. Laura looked up to him.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Laura. You are my angel." Odd said before he kissed her. Odd's cell went off. It was Ulrich again.
"Hello, Ulrich?" Laura said as she grabbed Odd's cell out of Odd's hand.
"Where is Odd?"
"He is standing next to me. Why?"
"I was going tell him to keep Laura next to him. Who are you?"
"You silly. It is me, Laura."
"Laura, where are you?" Laura saw Ulrich.
"Behind you." Ulrich turned around. He hanged up his cell. Laura hanged up Odd's cell. The rest of the gang and Franz came running up to Odd and Laura. When Franz got close to Laura, he stopped. Laura looked like her mother.
"Is that Laura Stone?" Franz asked.
"The one and only." Aelita said as she hugged Laura. Franz was shocked. He came up to Laura and pulled her to him. He started to cry. Laura looked around at the gang. Franz looked down at Laura.
"I knew Aelita was in Lyoko with me, but seeing you is like dream coming true. When your parents die, you were a lost little girl. I was glad you were coming to live with us, but when the government chased us, I knew that they will take you away. I love your parents. They were family to us. When your father first started working with me, he brought your mother and you. You were the sweetest thing to him. Your father and I were friends in high school and college, but he got a job in Japan. He left right after college, but we kept in contact with each other. When he got married, I was there. We were there for each other. When I found out that he was coming to town, I asked for his help working on Lyoko. You and Aelita use to play a lot together. Once we transported you two Lyoko. When you came back, you got sick. You were in the hospital for a week. When you were well enough, your parents and you were heading over to the factory, but something happen. Your parents were killed in a car crash, and you were the only one left. Aelita and I got to the hospital, you were scare. That is when you were younger, but look at you now; you look like your parents so much. I thought I will never see you again, but thanks to all of you, you have freed me from Lyoko. Thanks."
"No problem. When we first woke up XANA, we knew it was our fault. When we met Aelita, we knew we had to safe her. When we found your dairy, we knew that you were in Lyoko somewhere. I did decode all of you dairy, and that is how we found out about Laura. Laura just started school here." Jeremy explained.
"Thanks to all of you, we can shut down XANA." Franz said.
"No we can't. When my father and you sent us to Lyoko, we met XANA. He left a mark on us. When Jeremy freed Aelita from XANA, her link to him was broken, but not mine." Laura said.
"So you all still have to fight XANA to free Laura?" Franz asked.
"Yeah." Odd said. There was a dark cloud coming from the factory.
"Look at that." Laura said. She pointed at the cloud.
"It doesn't look like a thundercloud." Jeremy said.
"Because it is not. XANA is free." Laura stated.
"Looks like he brought the battle to us." Odd said.
"Franz, my father left a program with me and it might be the way to get rid of XANA once and for all. Maybe you can decode it?" Laura asked.
"I can try. Let's go back to the factory." Franz said. The gang started to run. Laura stopped in front of Sissy. She was turned in to stone.
"Well, XANA is turning everyone to stone." Yumi said.
"This is going to be the final battle with him. He isn't going to win. We will stop him." Laura said. The gang continue running to the factory. They got into the supercomputer room. Laura handed Franz the cd. Franz started typing. The program came up saying it needs the password. Jeremy and Franz tried different word, but none worked. Laura remembered what her father always called her.
"I know the password." Laura said. Jeremy and Franz let Laura type it in.
"My Angel." She typed in and it worked.
"Will this program work?" Jeremy asked.
"Only one way to find out. Let's get down to the scanner room." Laura said. Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Odd followed her. Laura went into a scanner.
"Run the program, Jeremy." She said.
"Are you sure?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes I'm sure." Laura said. Jeremy started to type. The program took over.
"What is going on?" Franz asked.
End of Flashback
Everyone now is in the scanner room. The scanner Laura was in, opened and Laura stepped out. She was in her Lyoko form. Everyone were shock to she her like this.
"I know that program works." Laura said finally.
"You mean the program is changing us into our Lyoko form." Jeremy said.
"It looks like it does. Look at Laura, she is in her Lyoko form." Yumi said.
"Would our stuff work out of Lyoko?" Odd asked.
"Only one way is to try." Laura said.
"Let's get you all in your Lyoko form now." Jeremy said. Franz and Jeremy went back to the supercomputer room. Yumi, Odd, and Ulrich went into the scanners. When they stepped out of the scanners, they were in their Lyoko forms. Aelita went in the scanner that Yumi was just in, and she transformed into her Lyoko form. She stepped out of the scanner. By now Jeremy and Franz was back down in the scanner room. They looked at the gang.
"WOW!" Yumi said.
"Laura, please be careful. I don't want to lose you." Odd said.
"You won't. I promise. Let's go and kick XANA's butt." Laura said as she went to the elevator. The rest followed. When they were at the top floor.
"I don't want you two get hurt. Jeremy, you and Franz can stay here?" Laura asked.
"Yeah. We will wait here. Please come back soon." Franz said to the group.
"Don't worry. We will be back. We will. Promise." Laura said. The gang climbed the stairs to the bridge. When they got there, XANA was waiting for them. He was in human form.
"Well, well, it looks like you are here to take me down, but you all will lose." He said.
"Yeah right XANA. You will get your butt kicked like always." Laura said.
"I know you." XANA said.
"You should. You killed my parents. You stole my friend's memories. You are going pay for that." Laura yelled.
"You are the one I wanted. I wanted you to stay in Lyoko with me, but Franz and your dad brought you back too soon, so I linked you to me. I used my power to control the other car. I didn't mean to kill your parents, but I wanted you back here. When I found out that you weren't here anymore, I changed. When Franz entered Lyoko with Aelita, I thought she was you, but I was wrong, so I took her memories. When your friends started up Lyoko again, I woke up. I was still looking for you. I figure that I take Aelita's memories, I can get out of Lyoko, but your friends broke the link between her and I. Franz gave Aelita all of his memories, so she could live. I tried to escape, but Franz pulled me back in. Before your friends could shut down Lyoko, I attacked. When I found out that you came back, I wanted you even more. You are a very special person. You have the power to see the future. You are bright girl, and I want you to be mine. Your parents didn't understand you. Now I see you again, nothing matters more to me than you." XANA explained.
"You had to kill my parents, so you can get to me?" Laura asked.
"Yeah." XANA replied. He began to walk up to Laura. Odd and the gang jumped between Laura and him.
"Stay back XANA. You are not getting her." Odd said. He shot one of his arrows at XANA. XANA still came closer. Yumi throw her fan at him, but he ducked. Ulrich ran up to him, and he tried to cut XANA, but XANA grabbed the sword with his hand. He broke it in half. XANA shocked Odd, Yumi, Aelita, and Ulrich. Yumi got up and ran to XANA. She tried to kick him, but he grabbed her leg, and thrown her. She landed hard on the ground. Ulrich ran up to her. He saw her ankle was broken. She was in pain.
"Are you ok?" Ulrich asked. Yumi looked at him.
"My ankle is broken." She said. XANA zapped Ulrich. Ulrich fell next to Yumi. He was out cold.
"XANA, you are going to pay for that." Ulrich said. Yumi tried to not pass out. Odd got ready to shoot another arrow. XANA used a shield and it missed him. It hit Aelita. She fell to the ground holding her leg.
"Sorry Aelita." Odd yelled.
"Don't worry about it. You should go save Laura." Aelita yelled back. Odd ran up to Laura. XANA saw him coming, and he thrown a big blast of energy at Odd. Ulrich woke up to see XANA attacking Odd.
"ODD LOOK OUT!" Laura yelled, but it was too late. Odd fell on the ground past out.
"You are going to pay for that." Laura said. She started gain power from Lyoko and her friends. She transform into an angel. She had wings. Odd woke up. He saw Laura in this form.
"That is new." He said.
"I never saw that before." Ulrich said.
"Aelita, have you seen this before?" Yumi said weakly.
"No." Aelita replied. XANA got close to Laura. Laura grabbed a feather, and it turned in to an arrow. She grabbed her bow. She shot XANA. He fell back.
"Just because you have new power, it won't save you." XANA said. In his hand was a sword that had black light around it. He started to run to Laura. Laura grabbed another feather, and it turned into a sword with white light around it. Laura blocked every attack XANA throw at her. XANA was getting tired. Laura noticed this.
"This ends now." Laura said as she grabbed another arrow. It turned into another arrow. She got ready to shoot. At the end of the arrow, there was a big, white, energy ball ready for shooting its target.
"Say goodbye XANA." Laura said as she shot it. XANA was hit in the chest. He started to disappear. He ran up to Laura and grabbed her. He use the last of his power to hit Laura. There was a bright light. The gang can feel them going in to the past. When they woke up, they found themselves in the supercomputer room. They were in their Earth form.
"What happen?" Yumi asked.
"XANA was destroyed. Thanks to Laura, but we lost her." Jeremy said as he looked at the ground.
"Where did she go?" Odd said. He started to cry.
"She killed herself to save you all and the world." Jeremy said. Aelita started to cry. Yumi and Ulrich had tears running down their faces. Then Franz walked up.
"I got some good news." He said. The gang looked at him.
"What is it?" Jeremy said.
"I found Laura. She is in Lyoko." Franz said. The gang was shocked.
