Code: Fusion


Chapter 5

Kadic Junior High

The entire school was deserted, except for the group of warriors there. Jeremy and Tucker hacked into the main television dish to use satellites to track Xana. The others were telling the others about themselves.

"We need do find all the jewel shards before Naraku does and destroy him so he doesn't use the shards for himself." said Kagome,

"Sounds like a real bad guy you are fighting there." said Odd.

"You have no idea." said Inuyasha,

"Anyway who are you guys dealing with?" asked Yumi.

The question was directed at Danny and Sam.

"Danny got his powers from an invention his parents created to view an unseen world. Danny was inside the machine and turned on. When he did that he got his ghost powers and unleashed other ghosts that come through the portal." said Sam,

"You suggested it!" said Danny.

"So Vlad got his powers before you and wants your mother and will stop at nothing?" asked Jeremy,

"Yeah." said Danny.

"He and Sissy might be related." Odd whispered to Ulrich.

Ulrich lightly elbowed Odd in the arm.

"What about you two?" asked Yumi, pointing at Ace and Sparx.

"We are not from this world. We are from an alternate universe, like Lyoko, called the Sixth Dimension. We came here trying to recapture Lord Fear and his gang before they could take over. It seemed we had defeated Fear, but then another evil called Kilobyte took control and gave me human emotions.

It was a new experience for me and Kilobyte took advantage. He tried to imprison every human in Sixth Dimension, but Lord Fear and I made an alliance and we fought Kilobyte. Lady Illusion knocked me out and disguised herself as me because she knew Fear would betray me." said Ace,

Ace walked away into the building. Odd looked at him and turned to Sparx. He was confused. Ace looked heart broken for a second

"What is with him?" asked Odd,

"Lady Illusion betrayed Lord Fear to save Ace because she loved him, Ace loved her also but he didn't know until Illusion sacrificed herself when Lord Fear betrayed them after they destroyed Kilobyte." said Sparx,

"Wasn't she back with Kilobyte? She did attack us last night." said Kagome.

"She is under Kilobyte's control until he has no use for her anymore." said Sparx,

"Hasn't Ace tried to free her?" asked Sam.

"Kilobyte knows he still has human emotions and will use them to his advantage. We need to wait for right time to free Illusion." said Sparx,

"How is Kilobyte back?" asked Aelita.

Ace walked back and looked emotionless.

"He wasn't destroyed, just sent into the Sixth Dimension. We don't have the power to destroy him, yet." said Sparx,

"So he's back, but what is he after if he can't send all the humans into your world?" asked Sam.

"Knowing Kilobyte he found about Xana and is after him like the other villains." said Ace,

"He wants Xana's power too. Don't they realize that Xana will stop at nothing to regain his power?" asked Jeremy.

"None of the other villains will stop at nothing to get Xana's power." said Ace,

"He's right, Jeremy. You saw how determined they were to get Xana." said Aelita.

"The question is how we stop them?" asked Ulrich,

"The best plan right now is to find Xana. He can control Lyoko so he can return back to normal." said Kagome.

"Sure, we have thought of that, but finding Xana is not as easy as it sounds. Xana's smart." said Jeremy,

"How do we find him?" asked Sam.

"Chuck, a friend of mine, called and said that a power like Xana's could not move without being spotted." said Ace,

"Even if we find Xana we can not kill him. It could mean destroying the only chance to return things to normal." said Aelita.

"Agreed, for now we find Xana." said Miroku,

"We have one problem, though, if Xana could be detected by your friend, why hasn't he been spotted?" asked Odd.

"I wish I know. I'm not sure even Chuck knows the answer to that question." said Ace,

"What do we do about the other villains?" asked Aelita.

"We stop them. If they get their hands on Xana's power than we are doomed and if Xana recovers we're still doomed. Either Xana or one of the villains take control of Lyoko they will use it expand their influence with rest of the world. The way Xana controlled Lyoko could be the same as here.

They could control the weather, create an unstoppable army of monsters, and control everything on the planet." said Ulrich,

"This is why you need Xana to stay alive. Force him to return Lyoko to the way it was." said Inuyasha.

"This is Xana you are talking about." said Odd,

"Guys!" called a voice.

They looked and saw Tucker running towards them.

"What is it, Tucker?" asked Danny,

"An energy signature matching Xana's has been spotted in the city limits." said Tucker.

"It must be Xana." said Jeremy,

"What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and stop him!" said Odd.

"Not before we are ready." said Jeremy.

His staff glowed and the Lyoko gang's vehicles appeared.

"Alright! You rock, Jeremy!" said Odd.

They took of and headed for the city limits. However someone else heard their conversation. Kilobyte and Fear were in the sky watching them.

"So, Xana has not fled, yet. This will be his last battle." said Kilobyte,

"Not if they get him before us." said Lord Fear.

They flew after them.


City Limits

They landed at the city limits and saw Xana. He turned and smiled at them as they landed.

"Still looking for me, I see. When will you ever learn?" asked Xana,

"What are you up to?" asked Yumi.

Xana only a fake innocent face in her direction.

"Can't I go anywhere without you accusing me of planning something evil? I am so hurt. Sometimes I just want to get some fresh air." said Xana,

"Sorry, but you're a virus. Viruses are evil." said Odd.

"Still with the jokes. I wonder if you will ever mature, but I should know by now that will happen." said Xana,

"Drop the charade, Xana." said Ulrich.

"I am just trying to be friendly here. Your serious attitude never ceases to amuse me." said Xana.

Inuyasha was getting annoyed and unsheathed his sword and pointed in Xana's direction.

"Alright, how about I just beat you and this will be all over?" asked Inuyasha.

Xana only raised his hand to stop the half demon from attacking.

"No need to get violent just yet, but then you don't understand non violence." said Xana.

He turned into a black cloud and molded into a larger form with multiple tentacles, his bright green eyes turned into two pairs of blood red eyes, his hands were clawed, and spider legs sprouted from his back.

"That is not Xana. He tricked us with clone." said Aelita,

"Doesn't matter he is still going down." said Inuyasha.

He sent tentacles at them all. Since Danny was ghost they went right through him, the others, however, had to move fast to avoid the monsters attacks. Odd fired his laser arrows at the monster, but holes appeared where the arrows headed and went right through the holes. The holes vanished and the creature sent tentacles at Odd.

Aelita created a wall that blocked the attack and Odd moved before the monsters smashed it down. Miroku opened his wind tunnel and sucked the creature in, but as it was sucked in, four blue Xana symbols flew out. One hit Inuyasha and Danny, while the others flew into the mountains. The symbols entered their bodies, but no one saw the symbols as the creature vanished into Miroku's wind tunnel.


Above them

Lord Fear and Kilobyte watched as they destroyed Xana's monsters.

"So, Xana has tricked them." said Staff Head,

"How predictable. These foolish mortals always believe what their eyes see." said Lord Fear.

"Those symbols were his. He is no doubt planning something." said Kilobyte,

"We shall watch them closely." said Lord Fear.


Floating islands above the city

Sesshomaru walked through the mountains as he searched for Naraku. He was not being accompanied by Jaken or Rin this time but he knew they would not be in danger. He was busy solving the matter of Lyoko, Xana, and finding Naraku. He heard something and saw a blue Xana symbol.

He unsheathed his sword and stared calmly at the symbol. It flew at him at frightening speed. He jumped and dodged it, but it kept flying at him. He stared at the symbol and raised his sword as it neared.

He swung at it and it was cut in two, but as it faded a small piece of it entered his body. He looked down at where the piece vanished and noticed it did not affect him. He wasn't surprised; a small floating eye is no match for him. He sheathed his sword and continued walking.


Somewhere else in the mountains

A tornado flew by at a fast rate. It stopped and vanished. Where it was, stood Koga. He walked through the mountains as he was also looking for Naraku.

"I hope that mutt looks after Kagome, with that bastard, Naraku, and those other freaks out there you never know what could happen." he thought.

He saw a blue Xana symbol fly at him. Like he thought, you never know what could happen. He jumped at the symbol and tried to kick it, but it entered his leg as it neared. He looked at his leg and felt nothing.

Whatever that thing was meant to do it didn't. He shrugged and continued walking through the mountains.


City limits

Jeremy pointed his staff at Danny and Inuyasha and it shined a blue light.

"Looks like whatever Xana's monster was meant to do it didn't. That's not normal. Xana usually doesn't usually make that kind of mistakes." said Jeremy,

"You said he was weak. Maybe he didn't have the power to do it." said Danny.

"Or he tricked us." said Inuyasha,

"Either way, we have to keep an eye out. Xana may be planning something." said Jeremy.

"We'll beat him. We always do." said Odd.

It was now night and Inuyasha was sitting on a tree branch. He heard something and jumped down. The others were asleep and didn't hear it. Something moved in the bushed.

In a flash of lightning the figure showed itself. It was Xana.

"Xana!" said Inuyasha.

Xana ran into the forest with Inuyasha pursuing him. Xana jumped from tree branch to tree branch as Inuyasha followed him.

"Stop running and face me, coward!" shouted Inuyasha.

Xana landed on a tree branch and turned to Inuyasha as he neared.

"Iron weaver soul stealer!" he shouted.

His claws went straight for Xana, but as lightning flashed he vanished. Inuyasha claws sliced thought the tree. He looked around to see Xana.

"All too slow, Inuyasha. You are so stupid it is not even funny." said Xana.

He looked up and saw Xana standing on a branch above him. He unsheathed his sword and jumped at Xana. Just as he swung Xana jumped and avoided the sword. They jumped through the forest as Inuyasha tried to hit Xana.

They landed on a branch and Inuyasha was panting. Xana only smirked. It started raining; Inuyasha noticed the rain didn't even touch Xana. He was wet while Xana was dry.

"What, already out of breath? Must be all the battles, making you weak." said Xana.

Inuyasha raised his sword, cheatingly. Xana only raised his hand and stopped him.

"No need to fight yet. You are going to need your strength. I am only here just to get your attention and now that I have . . ." said Xana,

"What are you up to now?" asked Inuyasha.

"Just a simple plan to bring the mountains and crash them into the city." said Xana,

"We'll see about that." said Inuyasha.

He swung his sword, but Xana jumped off the branch and landed on the ground. Inuyasha followed him and raised his sword, but Xana vanished.

"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome's voice.

She and Shippo found him before the others.

"What are you doing?" asked Kagome,

"I found Xana, but he got away again." said Inuyasha.

"You sure it was him? My staff would have glowed if Xana was near." said Jeremy,

"It was him. He is going to bring the floating mountains down onto the city." said Inuyasha.

"Well if he is going to do that then we better hurry. We need to find Xana before he does that." said Ulrich,

"We split up and search from here." said Yumi.

They agreed and left in different directions.


Somewhere on the floating mountains

Naraku watched them through Kanna's mirror. He was confused which was rare.

"Inuyasha claims he saw Xana, but he was not there. It looks like Inuyasha may have lost it or there is more than meets the eye." said Naraku,

"How can he fight what is not there?" asked Kagura.

"Unless it was an illusion or something that creature Xana created did succeed in its purpose after all." said Naraku.


City Street

Danny and Sam walked on the streets.

"Do you think Xana is near?" asked Sam,

"If he is than he is on trouble. He can't attack ghosts." said Danny.

He saw something and turned into a ghost and flew ahead. It started raining harder than before and the lightning was more intense. He was in a field and saw Xana smiling at him.

"Well, well, the ghost boy has decided to visit me." said Xana,

"Cut the jokes. Your plan isn't going to work." said Danny.

"And who is going to stop me? You?" asked Xana,

"I thought you would never ask." said Danny.

He flew at Xana at prepared to attack. He fired green lasers, but Xana moved so fast they missed. Danny flew at him and tried to punch him, but Xana, for some reason, blocked his attacks and elbowed Danny in the stomach. Danny stepped back and attacked again, but Xana jumped into the air and kicked him in the face.

Danny looked at Xana, shocked.

"How can you touch me? Are you possessed by Vlad or another ghost?" asked Danny,

"If they tried to posses me than they would be ready for a painful surprise. No ghost as ever possessed a virus before and try that on me and you might regret it." said Xana.

He turned and ran into the forest. Sam walked out and saw Danny injured.

"Danny, are you okay?" asked Sam,

"Xana is escaping! Stop him!" said Danny.

Sam looked around as Xana ran right by her. Danny flew at her and glared.

"Why didn't you stop him?" asked Danny,

"What are you talking about?" asked Sam.

"Xana ran right past you. Why did you let him get away?" asked Danny,

"I would have seen him. Don't blame me if you didn't catch Xana." said Sam.

She turned and walked away. Danny looked around the field and followed her.


Floating mountains

Sesshomaru noticed it was raining and lightning flashed in the sky, but he didn't care. A small storm couldn't scare, let alone hurt him. He heard something and looked around. He saw a small flash of white.

The figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Naraku, wearing his white baboon pelt. The skull covered his face and his eyes were hidden. Sesshomaru unsheathed his sword and swung it.

Naraku moved out of the way and incredible speed. He snickered as Sesshomaru turned towards him. Sesshomaru icy glare would have sent shivers down anyone spine, but it seemed Naraku was not scared at all.

"You seem to be overconfident, Naraku." said Sesshomaru,

"I cannot be killed by anyone, not even you." said Naraku.


Somewhere else

Naraku watched as Sesshomaru slashed through air. He was confused. Sesshomaru said his name, but he was right here.

"Sesshomaru thinks he is fighting you, Naraku." said Kagura,

"It seems that symbol might have created illusions, but the injuries the young ghost boy received were real. Xana might be invisible and disguised himself as me." said Naraku.

"I don't understand. How can he be fighting you when you are right here?" asked Kagura,

"There is one person who I can think is pulling the strings. Xana." said Naraku.


Near Danny and Sam

Vlad was in his ghost form and watched Danny and Sam. The man was confused. Danny said he saw and fought Xana, but he saw nobody. Danny claimed he saw Xana run right by Sam, but there was nobody there.

The ghost boy was injured, but Xana could not harm a ghost. He doesn't have ghost powers. What was Xana doing?


With Inuyasha and his friends

Inuyasha and the others were near the city limits as they searched for Xana. Inuyasha felt he was near. Kagome was not sure Inuyasha was right. He claimed he saw and fought Xana, but he was nowhere to be found.

Shippo was on her shoulder and had an uneasy look on his face, Miroku and Sango were indifferent. Inuyasha walked ahead and saw something.

"I think I see him." said Inuyasha,

"Where?" asked Miroku.

"Right up, ahead." said Inuyasha,

"There's no one there." said Kagome.

"I see him and that is good enough for me." said Inuyasha.

He ran ahead into the abandoned warehouse and looked around. The inside looked nothing more than a room with piles of junk and shattered mirrors. In one of the mirrors a dark figure moved at fast rate. He looked around and unsheathed his sword.

On one of the catwalks above he was the figure running, he jumped onto the catwalk, but the figure was gone.

"Here we are, again. Don't you get tired of the same routine?" asked a voice.

This was no voice. It was Xana's voice.

"Come out and show yourself Xana." said Inuyasha.

He looked and saw Xana standing on top of a pile of crates.

"No need to get angry, Inuyasha. I am right here." said Xana,

"Good, so now I can kill you!" said Inuyasha.

He swung his sword into the ground.

"Wind Scar!" he shouted.

The energy blast went right towards Xana, but he jumped at the last minute and avoided it. Inuyasha looked around for Xana. A light that was on shattered and Xana appeared beside him. He smiled.

"Pity that your friends aren't here to see you." said Xana,

"Why can't the others see you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I believe you know my ability to transform into a black cloud." said Xana,

"Quit playing around. Whatever you are planning, Xana, it is over." said Inuyasha.

"You are so gullible it is not even funny. No wonder you don't travel alone, without them you would be dead." said Xana.

Inuyasha swung his sword, but Xana avoided his attacks and launched an upper kick. It sent Inuyasha back, but he came back and swung his sword again. Xana's hands glowed with purple electricity and sent it through Inuyasha's body. Inuyasha's hair pointed in all directions as the electricity went through his hair.

"Iron weaver soul stealer!" shouted Inuyasha.

He tried to slice through Xana, but Xana dodged them and kicked him in the face. Xana smirked as Inuyasha staggered.

"Damn!" muttered Inuyasha.


Floating mountains

Koga heard something and knew that it was trouble.

"I hope Kagome is nowhere near where that sound came from." he muttered.

He heard a soft low chuckle and turned around, looking for the source of that noise.

"Come out and show yourself!" he shouted,

"Still seeking revenge for the death of your tribe, Koga?" asked a voice.

Out of the shadows stepped Naraku. Thousands of tentacles sprouted from his body and he smiled at Koga.

"Naraku!" shouted Koga,

"The one and only." said Naraku.

"Good, I have been looking for you." said Koga.

He jumped and prepared to kick the monster, but Naraku's tentacles hit him and rammed him into the mountain. Naraku laughed as Koga staggered. He got up and glared at Naraku and prepared to attack again. Koga kept attacking but he couldn't touch Naraku and was getting swiped after every attack.

Naraku laughed and vanished.

Koga looked around, but there was no sign of Naraku. There was something not right. He turned into a tornado and headed down to the city. Sesshomaru looked and saw a dark cloud in the distance.

He followed it down into the city and it entered a certain warehouse. Inside Inuyasha jumped back Xana sent more electricity at him. He looked and saw Koga and Sesshomaru.

"So you guys have fighting hard, too." said Inuyasha,

"Coming from a mutt." said Koga.

"What is going on?" asked Inuyasha,

"I just fought with Naraku but he escaped again." said Koga.

"That is impossible. I fought Naraku." said Sesshomaru,

"I just fought Xana, and he seemed stronger." said Inuyasha.

"Or you are not as strong as you believe." said Sesshomaru,

"Shut up!" snapped Inuyasha.

"As much I would like to see you two kill each other I like to know what is going on." said Koga,

"You mean Xana?" asked a voice.

They turned and saw Danny and Sam.

"What happened to you?" asked Inuyasha,

"I fought Xana, but he was able to hurt me." said Danny.

"I thought being a ghost left you unable to injured from anything other than other ghosts." said Inuyasha,

"I think Xana might have found a way to get ghost powers." said Danny.

"Or you are just going insane." said a voice.

Danny saw Xana behind Inuyasha and jumped. Inuyasha ducked and saw Danny fight air.

"What are you doing?" asked Inuyasha,

"Can't you see Xana?" asked Danny.

They shook their heads. Koga saw Naraku coming out behind Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru saw Naraku behind Koga. They jumped and fought. Sam watched as they fought nothing.

"What are you doing? There's no one there." said Koga,

"I was just about to say the same thing." said Sesshomaru.

Jeremy and the others appeared and saw them fighting nothing.

"Guys, there is no one there!" shouted Kagome,

"What are you talking about?" asked Inuyasha.

"You guys are injured, but your foes aren't injured. You can't even touch them." said Aelita,

"Do actually believe her? Could you have gotten those injuries from something that wasn't there?" asked one Xana.

"You can't even touch us." said a Naraku.

They thought back to the previous fights they had today. True they got injured, but not a single scratch was on their foes.

"They are right. None of them are real!" said Inuyasha,

"We are real enough to finish you!" said the illusions of Xana and Naraku.

"Jeremy's staff glowed blue and shot the Xana symbols out of their bodies. The illusions vanished. They all sighed.

"What happened?" asked Inuyasha,

"Xana's monster released viruses that entered your bodies. It made see, hear, and feel your enemies. You could not defeat them as long as you believed they were there." said Aelita.

"Xana wanted me, Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and Aelita to get the virus, but when Miroku used the wind tunnel Xana's virus was spread else where." said Jeremy,

"That is why Xana was able to touch me." said Danny.

"And why we couldn't see him or anyone else you fought." said Ulrich,

"We told you, Xana will stop at nothing to recover." said Yumi.

Sesshomaru got up and walked away. Odd glared.

"Is he always like that?" asked Odd,

"Always." said Inuyasha.

"The problem is that gave Xana more time to recover." Yumi,

"We'll find him." said Ulrich.

"I like to show him what happens to anyone who tricks me like that." said Koga,

"What about Naraku?" asked Aelita.

"He'll follow us to Xana and take his power when he gets the chance." said Inuyasha.


Somewhere else

Naraku watched them from Kanna's mirror.

"So that was Xana's tactic. In a selfish way I am glad he failed, so now they can led me to him." said Naraku, smiling.
