Welcome to part 2 of the Dr. Animo arc and the last part of the Ben 10 arc all together. Fight scenes are something I feel proud of, but do not hesitate to say something that needs to be fixed. Well, I do not own anything.
Ulrich blocked the gauntlet with his katana then ducked just as the other fist came at him. He swung his leg out under Technus and got Technus to fall down on his back. He swung his katanas down and grunted when Technus grabbed both katanas. He kicked Ulrich away and got the teen to let go of the katanas. "You sure are foolish to face someone who can control technology." Technus said as he got up and tossed the katanas behind him.
"I could say the same for you." Ulrich said as four clones of him appeared behind him.
"Your clones can't be me! I'm Nicholai Technus!" Technus yelled charging the electricity in his gauntlets. "I will show you what it means to mess with me!"
"You're right about my clones, but I wouldn't count myself out yet. Super Sprint!" The four clones and Ulrich ran at Technus each stopping at a spot making a pentagon formation around the adult.
Technus narrowed his gaze at the formation before firing the electricity at all five of them. The five dodged the electricity surprising Technus, and the real Ulrich swung his fist hitting the man right on the chest. Technus took a few steps back from the blow then was kicked from behind by two clones making the man fly forward. Technus stopped his feet then grabbed the two clones' fists being thrown at him before sending a shock through them. He released them and heard a noise as he kept his gaze on Ulrich. "That actually hurt kid, but it would take more than a few punches and kicks to make me go down."
Ulrich shrugged, "I was hoping this would have been easy, but it was a good thing that this strategy was a distraction." His two clones came by his side each holding a katana. He took the katanas from his clones and smiled as the katanas appeared on his clones. "Too bad my other clones were destroyed by you."
"You really believe that you will win. Ha, this will only make the fight better for me." Technus had metal parts cover his arms and his chest with a clear green circle in the center on his chest. "You are underpowered when facing me."
"I'll be the one to judge."
Technus fired the bolts of electricity at Ulrich and his clones, and Ulrich blocked the two shots of electricity with his swords and made the katanas absorb the electricity. He shot the energy right back at Technus who put his arms in front of him to block the sudden attack. The two waves hit the gauntlets and destroyed them while Technus flew back into a stone pillar which got the evil technologist to groan in pain. "Ok, I definitely wasn't expecting that." Technus muttered in pain.
"An upgrade I got from Aelita." Ulrich told the villain as the villain got up on his feet.
"Then I better go all out!" Technus made metal parts fly around everywhere in the parking garage which got Ulrich and his clones to go on guard. As the parts moved around the building specific parts started to connect together around Technus. "Face the wrath of one of my true forms!" The parts all connected together creating an eight foot robot with Technus sitting in the chest area holding his hands out on panels allowing him to control the robot freely.
Ulrich stared at the giant robot in surprise. "Ok, this might be a bit harder than I thought." He muttered as the robot shot forward at him at a high speed. "Run!" The three used Super Sprint and ran off going in different directions.
"You won't escape me this time!" Technus smacked his hands down on the panels which fired giant lasers at the two clones.
The two clones turn around and deflect the lasers back at the robot and widen their eyes when the lasers do no damage to it. Technus took the open shot and fired at the clones again and destroyed the clones leaving him and the original Ulrich to battle each other. Ulrich ran out of the building and turned around as the robot crashed through the building and landed a few feet in front of him. The pair heard people scream and run away in fright of the giant robot. "Where are Danny and Aelita?"
Earlier…
Danny and Aelita flew up the elevator and were catching up a net shot out and caught Aelita. "Aelita!" Danny grabbed the net and pulled them over to the side which was on a random floor in the parking garage.
Aelita tried to faze through the net and said, "Danny, I can't faze through it."
"Of course you can't. I designed it to nullify someone's mutant power while inside the net." A familiar voice said surprising the pair.
"Skulker." Danny growled at the mutant hunter.
"Hello whelp, it's going to be nice to capture you and your girlfriend. Your pelts will look nice up on my wall when I finally kill you two." Skulker told them with glee.
"Wait, girlfriend?" Danny and Aelita blinked in confusion. "My girlfriend is back at home." Danny said getting Skulker to look at both of them in confusion.
"Really? You two hang out so much that I thought you guys were dating." Skulker told them. "Where's your boyfriend then?"
"Stuck somewhere in the digital realm." Aelita answered not knowing how to take the situation.
Skulker blinked a couple times and muttered, "That's just messed up."
"You could blame Hydra for that." Aelita said as she slipped a chip out of her pocket.
Skulker narrowed his eyebrows a bit then shrugged, "Whatever then, I won't make that assumption again. That was just embarrassing for me."
"You're telling me." Danny muttered not liking the random conversation they just had.
Skulker glared at Danny and made a blades pop out of his wrists. He popped them back in and smirked as Danny looked at him in surprise. "Let's see how much you've improved since last time Whelp."
"Oh, trust me. I'm going to kick your tin can back to grade school." Danny told him making his hands and eyes glow green.
"Then show me!" Skulker exclaimed before throwing a dagger at the teen.
Danny blocked the dagger then ducked as Skulker's fist swung over his head. Danny grabbed Skulker's arm then kneed Skulker in the gut, but the knee met with the armor which made Danny wince. 'Should have thought that part through.' He thought before Skulker kicked Danny away getting Danny to withdraw the ectoplasmic sword. Danny skidded to a stop then made his hand glow. "Let's see how you deal with this!"
Skulker pulled a sword out the back of his armor and deflected the two blasts shot at him. He ran at Phantom with a cruel smirk on his face. He jumped up and swung his sword at Danny who dodged the attack as Skulker landed. Skulker swung back around and met Danny's ectoplasmic sword. Danny Skulker pushed each other back and slid back from each other for a few feet.
"You know your way around with a sword. That makes me even more excited." Skulker grinned evilly as he stabbed the sword into the ground.
Danny floats up above the ground as the sword in his hand disappears into a ball of energy. "I rather not know what goes on in your mind." Danny muttered tossing the ball of energy on the floor having it stop in front of Skulker.
"What's this supposed to be?" Skulker asked as he made the scanner appear in front of his left eye.
"Boom." The orb explodes in front of Skulker getting the hunter to cover his eyes while the room filled with smoke.
Skulker removes his arm and looks around carefully. "That was pretty smart to cover the room with smoke. I should have installed a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the smoke." He muttered before putting a visor over his eyes. "Good thing I have these." He looked around the room carefully and stopped when two heat signatures came up in front of him. "Now I got you."
"Are you sure about that?"
"What?" Skulker turned around and got smashed in the face by pink orb. Skulker flew back and crashed into the wall. Skulker grunts as he pushes himself out of the wall. "Ok, that was unexpected."
"It should be since I did just hack your armor." Aelita said as the smoke cleared revealing her holding an energy field in each hand.
"Uh oh…" Skulker trailed off knowing what was coming next. Danny came out of the wall behind Skulker and phased it off the man leaving the man barely three feet tall in brown boot, brown gloves, white t-shirt, and khakis. The teens blink in surprise at the man's size who just blinked at the sudden change of view. "What the…?" He looked down at his body and muttered, "I just got out smarted by a couple of teens."
Aelita put the man in an energy field and picked the field up with both of her hands. "What should we do with this?" She asked Danny curiously.
Danny fills the armor with his energy and shrugs, "I don't know, but I'm going to destroy the armor then head up to Ulrich."
Skulker stood in the bubble looking back and forth at Danny and Aelita and sighed, "Is there any way I can convince you guys to let me go?"
"Nope." Both teens answered.
"Now would be a good time for my back up." Ulrich mutters as he deflects the electricity back at Technus.
"Did someone call for some backup?" Someone asked getting Technus and Ulrich to look up to see Spiderman swinging right at Technus. Spiderman smashed both of his feet right at the head of the robot getting the machine to crack under the force of pressure. Spiderman jumped back and heard the electricity run through the machine as he landed next to Ulrich. "So what's the big problem here?"
"Well, he can hack any type of machine and broke someone free from a police van." Ulrich explained simply.
Spiderman nodded, "Ok, do you have an idea on how to beat this guy?"
"Unfortunately, I don't."
"Then we'll just have to wing it. I hope you know what you're doing."
"I could say the same." Spiderman shoots a web up and swings up away from the electricity that Technus shot at him.
Ulrich deflects the electricity back at Technus then shoots a beam of energy from his sword. The two heroes watch as the beam sliced through the left arm allowing it to fall to the ground. Technus made electricity run through the separate limb and chuckled as the two parts started to reconnect. "Oh great…"
"I just got a plan. Do whatever you just did to the rest of the robotic limbs. If he can control technology, then his power should be limited on how much he can control!" Spiderman tells the teen.
Ulrich smirks, "Coming right up!" He fires another beam at the other arm making it fall down to the ground which distracted Technus allowing the other limb to fall back to the ground.
"Why did you do that? I was reconnecting my other arm you stupid teenager!" Technus yells as both arms started to spark with electricity.
Spiderman shoots his webs at the two robotic arms making them be held down by the tough fluid. Spiderman's eyes widen as the metal parts break through the webbing and slip back into place as the metal arms. "Ok, I definitely was not expecting that."
"We need to take him down before he gets close to the town." Ulrich reminded the hero. "Got any better ideas than slicing off the limbs?"
"I got one idea, but we need to get him over at the shipyard." Spiderman explained.
"That shouldn't be too hard." Ulrich made the Overbike materialize next to him and smirked, "How good are you at taunting people?"
"Oh, that comes with the job." Spiderman rubbed his hands as Ulrich sat down on the Overbike. "Hey ugly, is that supposed to be a Halloween costume? I've seen better looking robots than that!"
"Well, this is the best I could do on the spot." Technus explained lamely getting the two to stare at the man in surprise.
"He was insulting you." Ulrich said. "I bet you couldn't catch us on the broad side of a good day."
"Don't test me boys. I've got somewhere to be, and I do not have time to tolerate heroes." Technus told them as the robot finished being repaired. "I'm Nicholai Technus, and you two couldn't beat me if you were even near water." Technus laughs evilly at his statement while the other two glanced at each other then back of Technus.
"You want to try it then?" Spiderman asked curiously.
Technus looks down at the pair and crosses his arms glaring at them. "Do you think I'm really that stupid?"
"How about we find out?" Spiderman asks before swing ing off down the street with Technus following him.
"Well, that worked pretty well." Ulrich muttered before chasing after them on his Overbike.
Yumi and William jump out of the hole in the hole in the ground and high-five each other before looking down at the mess of slime and mosquito guts inside the hole. "Well, that takes care of those nasty pests." William said as he de-materialized his sword.
"Well, once Odd gets back we can send Dr. Animo to jail and help the other with the man who has powers similar to Aelita's powers." Yumi tells William. The pair walk away from the messy filled hole and stop when they realize Odd was not with them.
"Did we leave Odd down in the secret base?" The Lyoko warriors turn around and look at the hole then at each other. "Do you think he would be mad at us for leaving him down there?"
Yumi raises an eyebrow at the question and asks, "How would you feel if you were left down there instead?"
"Good point." William mutters in distaste.
"Wahoo!" Odd screams as he flies out of the hole with Dr. Animo inside the laser net hanging on the Overboard. "How's it going guys?"
Yumi and William look at Odd with confused faces noticing he has no mosquito guts or juice on him. "Odd, how did you avoid getting dirty from the mess of mosquito guts and juice?"
"I'm just that good." Odd answers them with a smirk.
"He found a different route to avoid the mess you two made of my mutated army." Dr. Animo told them while gritting his teeth in anger. "When I break out of this, I will get you teens and show you who the best out of us at their job really is." He gripped the laser net.
"Oh shut up." Odd mutters kicking the man in the head knocking him out. "I'll head over to the Helicarrier and have them take care of him. You guys go find out where the others are at."
William and Yumi nod their head and watch Odd leave the parking garage. The two look up and notice some metal parts lying around the building. "Where's this hacker at now?" William asks curiously.
Yumi pushes the button on her com link and asks, "Ulrich, where are you and the others at with this hacker?"
"I'm currently heading to the shipyard with another hero." Ulrich answers as he drives down the road.
"Where are Danny and Aelita?" William asks looking around the area in confusion.
"We got ambushed by someone who was also hunting down Technus, but we're fine." Danny tells them. "You guys go join Ulrich down at the shipyard. Aelita has someone that needs to be picked up by Shield."
"Will do." William says before running off with Yumi towards the shipyard. The pair stops and looks around curiously. "Uh, does anyone know where the shipyard is?"
"Just follow the dents in the street from Technus." Ulrich tells them as he drives into the shipyard.
The duo looks down at the street and nods their heads when they see the trail. "We're on our way." Yumi replies before driving her Overwing down the street with William following her in his super smoke form.
Ulrich jumps off the Overbike and back flips onto the concrete. He smirks as the Overbike crashes straight into Technus making the man fall forward and crash into some metal storage crates. "Yes!" He fist pumps then super speeds up on top of another metal storage crate.
"Nice shot!" Spiderman says as he lands next to Ulrich. "By the way I never introduced myself. I'm Spiderman."
"I'm Ulrich, but I don't exactly have a superhero name at the moment." Ulrich tells Spiderman.
"We'll work on that when this is over with." The two heroes turn their attention back to Technus as the robotic suit got back up on its feet.
"Alright no more mister nice guy!" Technus yells pressing a button on his control system. "Now, let's see how you can face me now!" Technus laughs as rocket launchers came out of the back, arms, and legs of his robotic suit.
"I am so glad we got him to come here instead of staying in the city!" Spiderman yells in fright as the rockets fired out at them.
The two heroes jump away from their spot as the rockets came towards them. The rockets split apart and went straight after the two heroes without them knowing about it. The moment the two turn around and notice the rockets they blew up getting the two to fly back and smack straight into the storage crates. "I knew you guys couldn't beat me if you tried." Technus boasts before turning around and walking away with a smirk on his face. "Ah, it's good being evil."
Ulrich groans and gets up noticing that he was back in his normal attire. "Well, I have to wait for my chip to recharge now." He mutters in distaste.
Spiderman rubbed his head in pain and mutters, "Uh, I wish I dodged those rockets quick enough to avoid this pain." His eyes widen in realization. "Wait, did Ulrich survive the blast? I better go figure out." He gets up and groans in pain as he looks around carefully. "Hey Ulrich, you alive out there?"
"I'm fine." Ulrich says walking up to Spiderman in his normal clothes. "Unfortunately, the blast of the rockets took out the rest of my power and energy to fight Technus."
"Oh, well that's just great. Technus is getting away, and we're both almost completely out of commission. When you were hoping for backup, did you have anyone else fighting with you?"
"Yeah, I have about five others with me, and two of them were going to help me fight Technus, but someone intercepted them which forced me to fight alone." Ulrich explains.
Spiderman nods in agreement. "Makes sense, but what about the other three?"
"They went to take down the guy who was freed from the police van, and they got him too. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll be here in time to stop Technus from leaving."
"Then we better hope for a miracle, because there is no way I can take on a man who can hack into any type of machine without making too much collateral damage." Spiderman explains. "I'm not even that stupid."
Ulrich taps his chin a couple times and asks, "Wait, we're in a shipyard. Does this place have some kind of magnet that could help us?"
Spiderman smirks under his mask. "I really like where this is going. What's your plan?" Ulrich smirks back at Spiderman and explains the plan he came up with a few seconds ago in his mind.
Technus rides his robotic suit down through the shipyard humming happily. He stops when he hears a noise behind him. "Hm?" He turns the machine around and looks around carefully. "Hm…there's no way they could have survived the blast."
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." Spiderman announces as he lands on a metal crate a few yards away from Technus. "I'm still alive and kicking, and I know that you need to be taken down before anyone else gets hurt."
"Do you really believe that I, Nicholai Technus, will be defeated by some wannabe hero?" Technus asks as he cracks his knuckles in the cockpit. "The other boy was more of a challenge, but every hero will fall just like you will now!"
"Yeah, whoever said he was dead?"
"Wait what?" Technus raises an eyebrow then heard a machine start up behind him. He turns around to see Ulrich sitting in a machine then looks up to see a giant flat metal surface. "Oh no, this will probably leave a mark."
"You bet it will." Ulrich says as the magnet activates and pulls Technus' suit up. Ulrich smirks as Technus tells in fright as the suit crashed right into the magnet making the suit blow up to pieces.
Spiderman winces and mutters, "Well, blowing up the suit wasn't part of the plan, but at least we took care of it. I hope that man survived though. I wouldn't want to have blood on my hands, even if he is a villain."
Ulrich gets out of the machine and walks over below where the explosion happened. He looks down at Technus who was coughing smoke out of his lungs from the explosion. "It's over Technus. You lost." Ulrich says before Technus passed out.
Spiderman lands next to Ulrich and asks, "Is he alright?"
"Don't know, but he's alive." Ulrich replies.
"Ulrich!" The two turn their attention to the voice and saw Yumi and William coming their way.
"Friends of yours?" Spiderman asks putting his hands on his hips.
"Yep, good thing too, my com link blew up so I couldn't contact anyone." Ulrich explains to Spiderman.
Half an hour later Shield agents showed up at the scene loading Technus up onto the ship. "Well, that takes care of that threat." Spiderman says before walking away. "Hey Ulrich, if you are ever up teaming up again let me know. This was a nice little team-up we had."
Ulrich smirks, "I might take you up on that offer."
Spiderman chuckles before shooting his web and singing off waving 'goodbye' to him and his friends. 'We'll see man. I might not know how your power works, but you are a good partner.' Spiderman thinks as he swings through New York City towards his next destination.
Aelita and Danny stood outside Skulker's cell while Skulker just glared back at them. "Is there any reason you are just standing there staring at me?" Skulker asks them.
"Why do you hunt mutants?" Danny asks.
Skulker smirks, "I hunt because the powers each of you contain. So many possibilities of different powers inside so many humans, I wanted a great challenge, and almost every mutant I killed has barely done anything that was worthy of my time until I met you two."
"You hunt us down like it is some kind of game?!" Aelita yells out in anger. "We're real human beings, and you enjoy destroying our kind!"
"That's the point. Just like you enjoy using machines, I enjoy a hunt against the most powerful mutants. Only one other mutant has beaten me and would have killed me if someone hasn't interfered." Skulker says angrily knowing the embarrassment he endured. "Magneto, the fool was so powerful I could barely land a hit on him, but it made sense since he could control metal. I planned on fighting him again when I finish the plastic suit, but there are too many variables I need to finish before fighting him again."
Aelita and Danny look at each other then back at Skulker. "Why am I not surprised?" Danny mutters while shaking his head at the idea of the two fighting.
Skulker chuckles, "Yes, Magneto was powerful, but I heard a couple teens talking about how you guys defeated him. I was happy when I heard you two mentioned. I wanted to hunt you guys down again, but my employer wanted me to take Technus down and out permanently before he could do anything. Imagine my surprise when I found you two instead."
"Well, you better get used to being stuck in a cell, because no one will get you out of this." Danny tells the hunter before walking away with Aelita.
"That's what you think Phantom, but the hunt has only just begun." Skulker mutters with an evil grin on his face.
Aelita keeps walking with Danny and stops as they left the holding are. "Argh!" She yells in frustration as she grips her hair with both of her hands.
"Aelita?" Danny turns around to look at her in worry.
"Why…Why does he hunt us like it is some kind of sport? We're human beings born with special abilities, but how can someone become so coldhearted at this situation?" She asks hoping she could get an answer.
Danny walks up to her and pulls her into a hug which she reciprocated. "I don't know Aelita, but if he starts hunting more of our kind like this again, we need to stop him to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else ever again." He tells her in complete honesty.
"Do we tell Xavier about this?" She asks quietly.
"No, this is something that needs to stay between us. If the others were ever to find out about the hunter, then we would have a crisis on our hands." Danny squeezes her a bit to assure her of his statement. "I can promise you that."
"Thank you Danny." Aelita mutters into Danny's chest.
Logan turns the television off and sighs, "Well, they avoided from fighting out in the open this time." He turns his head at Charles who just stared at the television. "Charles…"
"I'm starting to fear Danny and Aelita are going down a path Logan, and there is no way I can stop them from taking it." Charles admitted fearing what could happen to the two teens.
Logan gets up from his seat and puts his hands in his pockets. "You don't have to, but I will probably push their training a bit further to prepare them for the future. Those two are growing faster than the others, and it is shocking, but all of them need to grow up Charles. It seems those two are the most ready to take on the next level."
Charles looks outside in worry and asks, "Logan, was it right to have Danny and Aelita to have separate training time from the rest of the students?"
"Yes." Logan answers immediately getting Xavier to sigh in defeat.
"Ok, you have my permission to enhance their training." Charles tells his friend.
Logan nods his head and leaves the room to find Kurt, Dawn, Evan, and Scott standing in the lobby. "I suggest you guys should move on with your normal lives." Logan tells them.
The four teens watch Logan as he leaves the area before looking at each other. "Ok, I don't know about you guys, but this seriously just got real." Evan says crossing his arms. "What do we even say to Danny and Aelita when they get back?"
"I don't know, but what I do know is that we cannot treat them any different from what we use to. They are our friends, and we probably would have helped them if we knew about it." Scott answers with authority in his voice.
"Easy for you to say, I heard da entire conversation, and I'm surprised zat dey are not talking about Rachel. She went vid zem on zat trip." Kurt tells them looking at them with confusion written on his face.
Scott puts his hand on his chin and hums in thought. "You're right Kurt, but according to the professor she wasn't at the site of the fight meaning Danny and Aelita left her behind where she would be safe."
Dawn nods her head in agreement. "Yes, I can sense you are correct by Professor Xavier's aura. If Danny and Aelita did fight at the site, then we should not treat them any different than we use to." She tells them.
"Then it's settled. We only talk to them about it if they want to talk about it." Scott tells them which got them to nod in agreement.
"I have to say that you guys did great for your first fight, but I wasn't able to see you two fighting above ground." Tony says as Aelita and Danny walk into his living room before taking a sip from his drink.
The two teens notice Tony was sitting on the couch and glance at each other then back at Tony. "We would love to stay and talk Tony, but we need to head back to the Institute." Danny says pointing back at the door they came through. "We only came by to pick Rachel up."
Tony blinks then sighs, "Right, I forgot about that. Rachel is in the bathroom, but she should be out soon. Anyway, what happened that only made the samurai kid come out in the open while fighting some robot?"
"We were intercepted by someone else who was after the hacker, and he wasn't friendly." Danny answers which got the billionaire to sigh at that.
"I see." Tony mutters as he puts his drink down on the table top. He leans forward on his couch and asks, "Who did you fight?"
"Someone who loves to hunt for people that can give him a challenge before killing the person he is hunting." Aelita answers trying to stop herself from letting her anger out. "We defeated him and got him sent to jail in one of the special cells created by Shield."
Tony nods his head and opens his mouth to speak when the group hears a door open up. The three turn their heads to see Rachel coming out of the bathroom. Rachel notices Danny and Aelita and smiles at them happy to see them alive. "Hey guys, I see you guys took care of the threat." She says as she walks up to them.
Danny and Aelita nod their heads in agreement. "Yep, but we need to head back to the Institute."
"Why? We have a couple more hours until our curfew, and there is nothing for us to do there at the moment." Rachel tries to reason.
Aelita shakes her head. "That might be true, but Professor Xavier wants all of us back at the Institute to talk with everyone… or just with us." She adds with a mutter.
Rachel sighs in defeat. "Fine, you win." The three teens leave the building saying their goodbyes to Tony.
Tony stands next to the window looking down as the truck pulls out onto the road and leaves the area. "Jarvis, I need you to bring up all the secret recordings of the fights that happened at that parking garage." Tony tells his artificial intelligence.
"Coming right up sir." Jarvis replies.
'Let's see what really happened to you guys back at the fight.' Tony thinks as he moved to his work space in the living room while Jarvis brought up the video feed from his secret cameras that followed the teens to the parking garage.
Jazz enters her cousin's apartment and kicks her shoes off before walking through the entry way into the living room. She sits down on the couch and groans in frustration. "What happened at the interview?" Jan asks as she walks out of the kitchen.
"It got cancelled when a giant robot showed up and everyone left the building." Jazz answers angrily. "That was the only time I could get an interview, and the giant robot just had to ruin it for me!" Jazz groans and leans forward covering her face with both of her hands. "Why does this kind of stuff happen to me?"
"Well, at least you can still enjoy the sites before heading back in a couple days." Jan tries to cheer her cousin up.
"That's true, but I wanted to be away from my parents since…" Jazz trails off not wanting to talk about her brother. She leans back on the couch and pulls her arms around both of her legs. "I want my brother back."
Jan turns around and sighs, 'It isn't my authority to tell you Jazz. He has to do it himself.'
1 week later
Danny stands outside the airport and watches his sister and cousin hug goodbye. He keeps his eyes on his sister and mutters, "See you later Jazz." He watches Jazz walk off into the airport leaving Jan outside by herself. He walks up next to Jan as they watch Jazz go through the security.
"Why didn't you tell her?" Jan asks without looking at her cousin.
"If she finds out about me being alive then my parents will find me along with Sam and Tucker." He answers as they watch Jazz leave their view.
"I get you don't want them involved Danny, but one way or another they might get involved with something they would know nothing about." Jan reminds her cousin.
"Then I'll take the consequences when it comes, but right now Jazz and the others are still too emotional about me leaving or dying in Jazz's case."
Jan sighs in defeat and turns around walking to the door to leave the airport. "We better get going. I rather not be stuck in traffic."
"I could make us go intangible and invisible through the whole traffic if you want." Danny suggests smirking at the idea.
Jan stops and looks back at Danny with a smirk. "Oh, now that is definitely something I would love to try, but it isn't the right time for that."
Danny shrugs and walks after her saying, "It was only a suggestion, but Professor Xavier would not be happy if I did that."
"Wouldn't stop you from doing it though." Jan remarks which got Danny to chuckle.
"Let's go home Jan. We should just have some fun before I have to go back to school next week."
Jan punches Danny's arm playfully and smiles, "What should we do when we get back to my apartment?"
Danny shrugs, "We'll see when we get there."
Aelita moves the files around on her holo-screens and stops when a file named 'Franz Hopper' came up. She opens the file immediately and reads the file carefully when a specific piece of information came up. "My father was a mutant." She mutters in surprise. "He sacrificed himself because he knew that he would survive. My dad is alive." She flips the page and stops as a specific letter came up.
Dear Aelita,
I hope you are able to find this. I know you will be upset when you see me sacrifice myself to destroy X.A.N.A. You will probably wonder why I wrote this letter to you in an encrypted letter in the supercomputer. I am not proud of what I did, but it had to be done. If you find this letter, then it means that you found out how to hack better or your mutant power has surfaced. If it was the first part, then you wouldn't be able to read the second part of the letter no matter how hard you or Jeremy would try. I will keep in mind that your mutant power could end up being anything since our powers develop in a random way. I only hope you gained some genius type of mutant gene.
There is so much I want to tell you, but my data needs to be closer together for me to send stuff out like this. I will tell you that your mother is alive and is being tricked by some government agents into believing that we are dead. You need to find and save her before finding a way to gather my data back together. If you have already started then I will not stop you, but you need to find your mother and free her before something terrible will happen to her. There is a mutant I met back in my younger years. His name is Charles Xavier. If you do have mutant powers, then I suggest you go to him. He's the only one who can help you gain control of your powers. You can trust me with that.
I know you have your friends who help you with Lyoko, but sometimes we need to make the right choice when it comes to what our world is becoming. Aelita, I miss you and your mother, but you need to find her and save her. I will see you two one of these days. Hopefully all my data will gather up in one place allowing me to send another letter to you.
I love you,
Dad
Aelita removes all of her holo-screens and sits down on her bed holding the holo-letter in her hand. She covers her mouth with her right hand as tears escape her eyes. 'I love you too papa.' She thought sadly.
Skulker looks out the window of the plane he is being transported in and sighs at the situation. He looks back at the front and does not move when the plane shakes suddenly. He hears the men up at the front talking but ignores them. He hears the men yelling about something and looks behind him to see a black haired vampire with a red and white cape around his figure. "Hello Plasmius, did you come to save me or take me off the team permanently?" He asks.
Plasmius smirks, "Now Skulker, you have way more use than just a simple arrest, but we don't accept failure."
"Hey!" One of the men yells at Plasmius.
Plasmius sighs and fires a pink ray from his hand before turning his attention back to Skulker. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't terminate you right now?"
"Phantom and the girl were at the facility."
Plasmius blinks a couple times then smirks, "Well then, it seems that you're still in after all, but you have a job to finish."
"Technus is being sent to a different prison from me, but once I get a new suit I will finish things from there." Skulker explains as Plasmius destroyed the shackles keeping Skulker bolted down on the seat.
"Good." Plasmius fazes them through the plane leaving the unconscious man and the pilot alone on the plane.
The pilot sees the two faze through the plane and sighs in defeat. "I should have listened to my father and went into business instead." The pilot mutters in distaste.
Ben Tennyson looks out the window of the Rustbucket and sighs in defeat. Gwen looks back at her cousin then at her grandpa. "He's still upset we left the Institute." Gwen tells her grandpa Max.
Max sighs, "I know Gwen, but he has to deal with it since you guys have school coming up. We can't stay any longer for Ben to watch them train using their mutant powers."
"Wish we could though." Ben mutters sadly. "They are the first group of people I found so cool that didn't push me away for getting in their space." He smacks his head on the table sighing again.
"Well, at least Danny and Aelita took down Dr. Animo. That had to be cool right?" Gwen asks curiously.
"We didn't see Dr. Animo, but the fight between Spiderman and the samurai against that man in a robot suit was still cool." Ben says agreeing with his cousin.
"Look at the bright side Ben. You can always come to visit the place since Grandpa is going to be working there as a mentor." Gwen reminds him which got his mood to brighten.
Ben removes his head from the table and starts to smile. "Oh yeah, that is awesome. I guess it isn't so bad after all. Maybe Danny and Aelita will become superheroes, and I can join their side as a fellow hero." Ben says starting to let his imagination get ahead of him, but the other two Tennysons look at each other and smile at his enthusiasm.
"Knew he couldn't stay grumpy forever." Gwen remarks.
"You're right about that Gwen, but the ride is still long back to Bellwood. We don't know what could happen before then." Max reminds his granddaughter.
Odd stands on the top of the Helicarrier looking out at the view. "Nice spot to get a view of the city." Odd turns his head around to see Hawkeye standing behind him.
Odd chuckles, "Yeah, I figured that the people didn't want me to bother them or get in their way so I came up here."
Hawkeye walks up next to Odd and crosses his arms. "I heard you caught Dr. Animo with a laser net made from your special arrows."
Odd looks back out at the view and nods his head. "Yep, he didn't see it coming, but I missed out on the action against the giant robot. Man, I wanted to join in the fight the moment I heard about it."
"You still did the right thing when you brought the man to the Helicarrier to be imprisoned instead of ignoring him. That should matter more than a fight for you to enjoy."
"Thanks, but I still wanted to see how my special laser arrows would handle against a giant robotic suit."
Hawkeye chuckles, "I can't argue with you there, but the team training is still up for you and your team to go through."
"If it was up to me, then I would say 'yes' in a heartbeat, but the others have to agree to the idea before I can say anything." Odd closes his eyes and sighs, "Yumi doesn't want to be a part of it, but the others are thinking about protecting people at least."
"That's a start, but you better hope your whole team agrees then, and you might want to ask Phantom as well. I think he would make a nice finishing touch to the team."
"I'll keep it in mind." Odd replies back. He hears Hawkeye walk away and asks, "Hey Hawkeye, if the whole team refuses to become heroes, would you still train some of us?"
Hawkeye stops and smirks, "I'll think about it." He continues walking away muttering, "You're something else Odd Della Robbia or should I say Purple Feline."
"Purple Feline..." Odd smirks at the name. "Sounds way better than Catman. I think Purple Feline works just fine."
I'm going to end it right there with Odd getting his superhero name which is Purple Feline. Yeah, it isn't the best name, but I'm going to go with it since it rolls off the tongue. The others will get their superhero names too at some point in the story, and I will be taking suggestions for the Lyoko Warriors. Please leave a comment about a superhero name idea for Ulrich, William, and Yumi; I will appreciate it.
Next chapter will be a time skip of three months and the start of the first episode of season of X-men Evolution. Meaning there will be a drop of characters joining automatically in the story. I will allow you guys to leave suggestion on who you would like to be a mutant and what their power will be. It does not mean I will add them as a mutant since it is just a suggestion at the moment.
Someone did mention the lack of Danny/Rogue the past few chapters, and I did not find a way to add her into this chapter. The next chapter though will have some big surprises that none of you will see coming though.
I will also make mention that the next chapter will probably take longer than this chapter since I did most of this over spring break. I'm just happy I got this done really quickly. Well, I guess all I have left to say is R&R.
