Hacker Baron
Chapter 4: Vaccination
Aelita, Ursula, and Yami materialized in the Desert Region. They landed amid a group of XANA's monsters. Surprisingly, none of them attacked. "They're your 'escort' to Virustocron's towers," explained Jeremie. The monsters were Roachsters, Crabs, Hornets, and Tarantulas. Yami and Ulrich were having a bit of trouble with their powers. They had the same powers as before, but their new forms made it a bit harder to use them. As soon as everyone was ready the group headed towards the towers.
Meanwhile in the real world, Draco, Chip, and Odd had carried Morph's container back to the school. Virustocron had brought several electrical devices to life and was having them chase the humans. Then Virustocron noticed the gang. "You have returned. I was guessing I would have to hunt you down." "Why did you switch Ulrich and Yumi?" yelled Odd. "I wanted to exercise my new powers and your friends were the perfect pair so I decided to switch them around to see their confusion. It was very entertaining. Of course the Skipizoa's power was limited, so I drained the energy from 6-3-0 to boost its power up." Then Morph managed to grow a mouth and started yelling some very ugly things at Virustocron in his alien language. "What did he say?" asked Odd. "Let's just say that Morph said something that shouldn't be said in front of children," said Chip. Virustocron was a bit shocked at Morph's colorful use of words. He got over it and said, "Some of those things might be true, but I won't matter after I destroy you." Draco opened Morph's container and dumped the Coconut Cake & Coffee Pudding in. Morph sat quietly for a few seconds but then began to bubble furiously. "He's gonna blow!" yelled Draco. They dropped the container and dived for cover. Then Morph rocketed out of the container and into the air. Morph was now overcharged and knew the best way to remove the excess energy and deal with Virustocron at the same time. "Transformation!" yelled Morph and transformed into EnigMorph. Now Virustocron was worried, he had no information of EnigMorph whatsoever. "What's that?" asked Odd. "Remember what I told you about Morph's super-mode?" said Chip and pointed towards Morph. "Oh," said Odd. Virustocron seemed concerned for a second but the look faded. "Even if you are in your most powerful form, there is no way you can defeat me." Morph sent a plasma blast at Virustocron to prove his disagreement. "I recognize your challenge and accept it," said Virustocron. Then the Hacker Baron had his electronic lackeys attack Morph by piling on top of him. Morph easily tore these apart. Then he leaped onto Virustocron's head and started attacking him.
In Lyoko, the group and XANA's monsters found Virustocron's towers. They had a black aura around them and were connected by a stream of black data. The monsters that Virustocron captured were between the towers. In the center of the mess was the Skipizoa. Other monsters included Creepers, Flying Mantises, MegaTanks, and Blocks. Virustocron's monsters and XANA's monsters started fighting immediately. "Spare the Skipizoa!" yelled Ursula. The Skipizoa seemed to be more possessed by Virustocron than the other monsters. Just as a Hornet was about to paralyze it, it blasted it with a laser from its tentacles. "That will be a problem," said Yami. Not many other monsters where left. They had been eliminating each other with precise synchrony. "Jeremie," said Aelita. "How do we defeat the Skipizoa?" "You'll have to deactivated the towers at the same time to do that," said Jeremie. "Aelita can't be in two towers at once," said Ursula. "That's why we're activating a third tower. When you deactivate that tower, the other towers will deactivate with it." "What will you use the tower for?" asked Yami. "We're uploading the power to Chip. He's the best one against Virustocron." "But he can't fight him. Virustocron controls his viruses." "That's why we making this phone call," said Jeremie.
In the real world, everyone was running for cover. They didn't know which was a worse threat: Virustocron or EnigMorph. They were both firing energy blasts that charred anything they hit. The police were busy getting everyone to shelter. Not one of them dared interrupt the battle. Odd's cell phone rang and he answered it. "Hello? Oh Jeremie am I glad to hear you. What's that? A message for Morph. He's kinda busy right now. Let Draco tell him." Odd handed the phone to Draco and listened to Jeremie's instructions. Draco then sent the instructions to Morph via telepathy. Morph heard and understood the instructions. He grabbed Virustocron on both sides of his head and gave him a blast of electricity through his brain. Virustocron screen faltered for a few seconds then he came back online. Then for some reason he started playing dance music which caused all the machines under his control to dance wildly until he hammered on his head to make himself stop. "What did you do to me?" demanded Virustocron. "Just a little magnetism that quartered your power," said Morph. "I'll destroy you for that!" yelled the Hacker Baron. "Actually I going to take a break for a while," said Morph. "Chip will take over from here." "6-2-9 cannot fight me," said Virustocron. "I'll just force him to hold still." "That was before I zapped you," said Morph. "Now you can barely stop a six-month old computer. One more thing, Chip will be getting a boost." They looked down at Chip. Chip was holding the cell phone and bracing himself. A Ghost came out of the cell phone and entered Chip's body. Electrical sparks surrounded his body. Then he said with a more electronic voice, "Fully uploaded and operational." Then he made a leap that he couldn't have done that morning and landed on top of the school. Virustocron headed toward Chip, but no without zapping Morph of his energy. Morph turned back into PlasMorph and fell down to the ground and splatted near Draco and Odd. "Morph, say something!" said Odd. Morph gurgled out a word in experiment-language, "Togla." "What's that mean?" asked Odd. Draco translated, "Something." Draco grinned. "We learn quickly."
In Lyoko, the group was halfway to the tower that Jeremie and XANA had activated. It had an aura of red and green. Suddenly the Skipizoa flew down like a bolt from the blue and grabbed Aelita. Then it started giving her a lethal-looking shock. "Guys! Virustocron's having the Skipizoa destroy Aelita's memory! You have to stop it!" Yami tried to hit it with his fans but it was to high up. A Crab walked next to him and bent down. Yami jumped onto the Crab and it lifted him high enough. Then Yami threw his fans and severed the Skipizoa's tentacles on Aelita. Aelita dropped to the ground but she was caught but six Roachsters. After that the rest of XANA's monsters grabbed the Skipizoa to prevent it from attacking again. Aelita, Ursula, and Yami ran towards the tower.
In the real world, Chip was kicking Virustocron's butt, (figuratively speaking since Virustocron didn't actually have a butt.) The Ghost upgraded his powers by sevenfold and he was using it all on the Hacker Baron. He did amazing acrobatic skills and hammered Virustocron with bolt after bolt of electricity. It was all Virustocron could do to stay up in the air. Aelita had entered the tower and levitated herself up to the platform. Virustocron gave Chip a blast from his viral cannon but Chip shook it off. Aelita logged onto the tower. Chip gave Virustocron a massive blast of viral-electricity that zapped him to the core. Aelita entered, "Code Lyoko." All the data screens went to the bottom of the tower. "Tower Deactivated." All three towers changed back to normal. In the real world, Chip felt his power boost leave his body. He didn't mind that badly because he knew that Virustocron had lost his power as well. Virustocron raised himself up and said, "This isn't over, 6-2-9! I will return and I'll delete you and your friends! For I am Virustocron, the Hacker Baron, the Duke of Deletion, the Count of Cybernetics, the Earl of Erasing, the Master of… Ow!" A soda can hit Virustocron on the head. "Will shut up and leave?" said Odd. "You've got enough titles to fill a name book." Virustocron growled and turned into black electricity. Then he flew into a computer and disappeared. Chip turned around and asked, "By the way, who threw the soda can?" Odd and Morph both pointed at Draco. "What? He had it coming to him. Beside he was really annoying."
In Lyoko, Aelita had left the tower. All of the monsters that were under Virustocron's control were back under XANA's. The Skipizoa floated over to Ursula and Yami and picked them up gently. It positioned them in its tentacles. It made the transfer and released them. Ursula was now back to Ulrich and Yami was now back to Yumi. Then Jeremie's voice was heard, "I'm activating the Reality Rewriting program." He typed the keys on the keyboard. "Rewrite Reality, Now!" The blue dome of light engulfed the factory and the city.
