Code: Fusion

Chapter 8

Conestoga Hills

The entire city was deserted, or rather it looked deserted. All of its people were hiding in their homes and any other shelter they could find. One teenaged girl with dark skin and dark brown hair looked into the sky.

"So, maybe there are aliens after all." she said.

She ran out into the streets, ignoring her parent's yells or attempts to get her back.

Computer Shack

Mark Hollander and Chuck Mugel were at the mega console that belonged to the Master Programmer and were using it to help other people to stop an evil virus and return the world to normal. Mark's cell phone rang and he turned it on.

"Hello?" asked Mark,

"Mark, it's me." said a voice he knew too well.

"Samantha." said Mark.

"I am going to assume this strange disaster has something to do with you." said Samantha,

"It is not like that. It is complicated." said Mark.

"When is it not?" asked Samantha.

The Museum

Odd and Ulrich arrived at the museum on their vehicles just after the villains left.

"This is where Jeremy said there was a group of bad guys and Xana was with them." said Ulrich,

"Looks pretty deserted to me. I hope Jeremy wasn't pulling our legs, I'm really hungry." said Odd.

"I'm not surprised. Your stomach is a black hole." said Ulrich.

They walked into the museum and held their weapons tightly as if Xana himself would jump out and attack. The museum was dark and it was quiet. So quiet you could hear a fly buzzing around near the figures.

"Looks like they left before we got here." said Odd,

"But what where they doing here? I hope they haven't decided to team up." said Ulrich.

Kadic Junior High

"They have officially teamed up. Lord Fear and the rat's energy levels went off the scale. It's as if they got a mega upgrade." said Chuck on the computer with Mark, talking to the others.

"How could they have increased their strength?" asked Miroku.

Nearby Aelita was in a meditative position. She opened her eyes and looked at them.

"Xana." said Aelita, quietly enough for everyone to hear.

"You're saying it was Xana who increased their strength?" asked Yumi,

"It would make perfect sense. If Xana was there then he would have offered a deal or an alliance. If the others wanted something in return, like having their powers increased than it would be nothing Xana couldn't do." said Aelita.

"But why only Fear and the rat? Kilobyte was there and if his powers were increased than Ace and Sparx wouldn't have stood a chance against him, even with their upgraded powers." said Mark,

"I know Kilobyte. He uses people's feelings, emotions against them. That's why he didn't need to have his strength increased by Xana." said Ace, who was at the door.

"Ace, I know that you want to save Illusion, but right now isn't the best time. We have got a ton of psychos running around the city and they could probably planning something to get rid of us." said Sparx,

"She's right, Ace. If they have teamed up with Xana, than it will be a lot of trouble, especially if they decide to attack their mortal enemies all at once with their new powers." said Mark.

"An energy reading has been detected. It looks like . . . I don't know." said Chuck,

"I do, and it's not good." said Aelita.

"What is it?" asked Sam,

"It's a tower used by Xana to take control of something, but I don't know what." said Aelita.

"I'll tell Ulrich and Odd to get over there. I doubt Xana is using it to take control of something when Lyoko is in the real world." said Jeremy, walking in.

The floating islands

Odd and Ulrich landed near a tower that glowed red. There were no monsters in sight for the moment.

"So, what do you think Xana is doing this time?" asked Odd,

"Trying to take over the world, what else?" asked Ulrich, sarcastically.

They entered the tower and Ulrich traveled to the upper platform. Suddenly the tower deactivated itself and the screens inside disappeared making the inside very dark.

"What is going on?" asked Odd,

"Looks like a trap." said Ulrich.

The platforms vanished and they fell into a black void. They opened their eyes to see a giant room with many platforms like the ones inside the towers and the walls were data streams of ones and zeros. They heard a soft harsh laughter in the room. On one of the platforms, looking down at them was Xana.

"Well, it looks like I have some visitors." said Xana,

"What are you up to this time?" asked Ulrich.

"Nothing more than the usual. I thought you knew me by now." said Xana.

Ulrich unsheathed his sword and jumped at the platform Xana was on. Xana unsheathed his sword and vanished into the platform like a ghost. Ulrich landed on the platform and looked around to see where Xana was hiding. Xana jumped out of the ground and landed a kick in Ulrich's ribs.

He was knocked off the platform by the force of Xana's kick and hit another platform. Odd fired arrows, but Xana blocked them like he wasn't even trying. Ulrich got up, staggering. He jumped back onto Xana's platform and swung his sword.

Xana stepped back and swung his sword, blocking Ulrich's attacks. Odd jumped onto the platform and lunged at Xana, but before he could attack Xana transformed into a black cloud and he jumped on Ulrich instead. The two fell off the platform as Xana changed into his human form and smirked.

"He's just toying with us." said Ulrich,

"Well, I say playtime is over. Let's hit him with everything we got." said Odd.

Ulrich jumped onto the platform while Odd fired his arrows. Xana fired a red laser that forced Odd to jump back and block Ulrich's sword as he swung. He smiled at the Lyoko warriors.

"What is so funny?" asked Ulrich,

"That so enough, your friends will fall into my trap." said Xana.

The floating islands

Delita watched as the other warriors neared, followed by Inuyasha and the others. One of each monster stood behind her, roachster, block, crab, hornet, megatank, tarantula, mantis, and creeper. Her swords glowed white and shot white lasers at the monsters. She smirked.

This was going to get interesting.

"Go and distract them." she ordered and the monsters headed for them.

The tower

They arrived at the tower and looked around. It was no longer glowing red and Odd and Ulrich vanished. They heard a noise and saw monsters coming at them.

"A bunch of mindless monsters shouldn't be a problem." said Inuyasha.

The monsters stopped as they neared.

"Only three things wrong with that, dog man. One; we are not ordinary monsters. Two; we are not mindless and three; problem is our middle name." said the crab.

They gasped.

"It talked." said Danny,

"He's not the only one." said the roachster.

They all charged their lasers and unleashed a barrage of lasers at them. The mantis laughed and flew at them.

"I'll suck them up with my wind tunnel." said Miroku.

Suddenly hornets with red eyes and yellow and green stripes flew at him. When he opened his wind tunnel the hornets flew in, but the instant they did he collapsed. Sango noticed a resemblance between those hornets and Naraku's poisonous bugs.

"Miroku, don' use the wind tunnel. Those bugs look like Naraku's." said Sango,

"But they have Xana's logo on them, unless he stole one and merged it with his hornets then there would be no way he could create poison that could affect Miroku's wind tunnel." said Aelita, blocking the shot of the block.

The flying mantis laughed.

"You guessed right, Pinkie!" said the mantis.

Danny flew at the mantis, but was shot down. He got up and saw the tarantula.

"Going my way?" whispered the tarantula loud enough for him to hear.

The tarantula didn't let Danny reply for it started blasting him again. Danny flew into the air and dodged the lasers and fired back. The tarantula jumped and avoided Danny's attacks.

Inuyasha and Kagome looked and saw the hornet, the roachster, and the megatank heading for them. Suddenly a tornado appeared and Koga stood on where it was.

"Who invited you?" asked Inuyasha,

"Just here to make sure you keep Kagome out of trouble, mutt." said Koga.

"Terminate!" shouted the megatank.

It opened its shell and fired at them. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the way while Koga jumped to kick the Xana logo on the megatank. Suddenly the roachster fired a laser which hit his leg and hit the ground. His leg was burned, but not too bad.

"Nice shot, you little cockroach." said Koga,

"You will be obliterated!" shouted the roachster.

Kagome saw the creeper crawling at her and prepared one of her arrows.

"Is that a bow? I didn't know they still used it. It would only suit somebody as pathetic as you." said the creeper.

She fired her arrow, but the creeper blasted it with a laser from its mouth. Koga jumped to kick the roachster but it retreated behind a rock. Koga pursued, but as he neared the other side a shower of lasers came at him. The roachster came out leading an army of monsters.

"I can't believe you fell for it. 'Obliterate'? I thought at least one of you would see through our charade." said the roachster,

"Clearly this one is dumb as the dog." said the megatank,

"What did you say?" asked Inuyasha and Koga, in a dangerous tone.

The block and the crab fired at Jeremy, Aelita, and Yumi with a barrage of lasers, but their attacks were getting blocked.

"I see no Odd or Ulrich. Don't tell me you lost them." said the block,

"It is painfully obvious." said the crab and the Lyoko warriors could hear an electronic noise that sounded like a chuckle from them.

"Keep dreaming." said Yumi,

"Virtual beings don't dream, they fry!" said the mantis.

It flew in and fired at Yumi, she blocked the lasers with her fans, but the block fired an ice beam that froze her legs. Ace and Sparx were near, but a red laser fired at them and nearly blasted them. They looked and saw the upgraded forms of Lord Fear and Dirty Rat. Fear cackled while Rat showed off his no form and snarled at them with his razor sharp teeth.

"How do you like the no rat?" asked Dirty Rat,

"Do the words 'ugly' and 'stinky' mean anything to you?" asked Sparx.

Lord Fear fired a laser at them from Staff Head, while Rat flew at them. Sparx pulled out her sword and blocked the rat's claws. She jumped back and fired purple lightning at the rat. The rat flew into the air, avoiding Sparx's attack and flew down at her. He landed behind her and swung his arms.

One of his claws slashed through her jacket and a small data stream oozed out of her like blood and then vanished. The rat smiled. Ace fired blue lightning, but Fear easily blocked Ace's attacks with a red barrier created by Staff Head.

"They are no match for my lord." said Staff Head,

"Indeed, my loyal staff. Lightning is defeated." said Fear.

"Not yet, Skull Head." said Ace.

Koga dodged the lasers from the roachsters as the megatank and the creeper advanced on Kagome and Inuyasha.

"You fell right for our trap and didn't even think. 'Terminate'? I can't believe you fell for a trap that was so obvious. It doesn't matter, anyway. I'll take care of you myself, dog meat!" said the megatank,

"Let's see you try it!" said Inuyasha.

He raised his sword and jumped.

"Wind Scar!" he shouted and the blast headed for the megatank.

The creeper slithered out of the way and under the floating mountains, attached to the rock like a spider. The megatank closed its shell as the wave neared and the blast sent it flying. It hit the edge of the mountain and created an earthquake that shook the ground beneath them. The creeper crawled back onto the bridge behind Kagome and hissed quietly.

Shippo, who was hiding behind a rock, noticed the creeper slowly slithering towards Kagome. As the creeper prepared to attack it was hit in the back by fire. Its back was on fire and it saw Shippo throwing small fire balls at it.

"Why you little runt!" shouted the creeper.

Kagome saw the creeper preparing to attack Shippo fired an arrow at the creeper. The arrow hit the creeper's back and it screamed in pain. It looked and saw Kagome ready to fire another arrow.

"There is just no room for teamwork for when your life is on the line." said the mantis.

It flew in with hornet behind it and fired a barrage of lasers at Kagome. Inuyasha saw the mantis firing at her and ran towards her.

"Kagome!" shouted Inuyasha.

He pushed her out of the way as the mantis flew over.

"No competition from them." said the mantis,

'Or the rest." said the hornet.

Delita watched the battle from a safe distance. She sensed a presence and turned to see Sesshomaru standing on the other side of the mountain.

"Well, if it isn't the great Lord Sesshomaru. I have heard of you before. Naraku told me and my brother about you and your 'dear' brother." said Delita,

"Your brother would not happen to be Xana?" asked Sesshomaru, calmly.

"You guessed right. I have all the powers he has, except control of Lyoko. He has been awake longer than I have and has evolved more." said Delita,

"And he sends you to do his dirty work." said Sesshomaru.

"Not the way you're thinking, but in a way, yeah. A lot of people would love to get their hands on his power. Are you after his power as well?" asked Delita,

"No, I don't need it. However your brother does have some information I want." said Sesshomaru.

"The location of Naraku?" asked Delita,

"How did you know?" asked Sesshomaru, still calm.

"My brother and I can read minds, no matter how strong the person is, but I regret to inform that Xana and I don't know where he is. We don't really trust or like for him for that matter." said Delita,

"I know he and your brother formed an alliance." said Sesshomaru.

"That doesn't mean my brother has to like him. He read Inuyasha and Koga's minds when they were exposed to his virus and knows how treacherous Naraku is. Quite frankly we could care less if he dies." said Delita,

"I have one last question; what is Naraku getting out of the deal?" asked Sesshomaru.

"What? Not going to try to kill me? Naraku said that not many have come face to face with the great Lord Sesshomaru have lived to tell about it." said Delita,

"I only kill those who get in my way." said Sesshomaru.

"If you really want to know he wants Xana to increase his power the way Xana did Lord Fear and the rat. It will help him get rid of what's left of his human part." said Delita,

"That is all I want to know. I hope your brother stay out of my way of he knows what is good for him." said Sesshomaru, turning away.

Delita only smiled.

"He's smarter than you think. Don't underestimate him." said Delita.

She turned back and watched the battle.
