Code Fusion


Chapter 10

Kadic Junior High

The Lyoko gang and the others were inside the school using the scans to locate Shippo, hoping he was still alive. Kagome was quiet, Inuyasha stayed with her, Sango also stayed with Kagome to help her out. Miroku looked at them and wished he could help them out. Right now he feels like he lost a brother.

Danny was flying around the city, keeping an eye open for any strange activity that could be the work of Vlad Plasmius or Xana. Mark and Chuck were communicating with Jeremy and Tucker from Conestoga Hills and where using whatever resource they could to locate Shippo. Ace and Sparx were out back training harder than they had before. Xana and their other enemies had gained an advantage.

Xana had upgraded Lord Fear and Dirty Rat to a level above Ace and Sparx and were determined to wipe them out. Xana then merged his monsters with the Marabounta, a special program made to destroy his monsters but now they merged with his monsters making them difficult to destroy. Until Jeremy created a virus inside Yumi's fans that destroyed the Marabounta. The tables turned on Xana, but at the last minute he created black hole that sucked the tower and Shippo into another place that was partially merged with Lyoko.

They are now working to locate Shippo, Xana, Naraku, and the other villains as soon as possible.


Location Unknown

Xana glared at the new monster generals. They regenerated into their original state after the Marabounta was destroyed and returned to Xana.

"I gave you all a life, individual minds, free will, and all I ask is that you defeat the Lyoko warriors and anyone in your way. Boy has that not happened!" said Xana, glaring at them.

The mantis hovered over to him.

"Okay, so we screwed up, but I had everything under control, or I would have if these lugnuts weren't following me around and mess up my timing!" shouted the creature.

The other monsters softly growled at the mantis. Delita stepped out from the shadows and blasted the mantis with a red laser. It hit the ground and groaned.

"An interesting tale, now it's time for new upgrade." said Xana.

He nodded to Delita and she fired a white laser at all of them. They looked at Xana and Delita and headed out of the room.


The City

The monsters appeared on the streets and moved fast, but a few minutes later the block stopped. The mantis saw the block stop and flew at it.

"Hey, what's up?" asked the mantis,

"Nothing." said the block.

The mantis didn't buy it.

"Nothing my tail. What are you hiding from me?" asked the mantis in a dangerous voice.

The block looked up and fired at building behind the mantis. The mantis looked to see a wall falling down on him. It screamed as the wall collapsed on it. The block chuckled.

"Sucker." said the block.

It looked around for any debris, but did not notice the mantis softly hover up behind it.

"Hey, block head!" shouted the mantis.

The block looked to see the mantis fire a barrage of laser at him. It scuttled away over the bridge.

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

It looked over at the monsters as they moved down the street.

"Looks like no competition from them." said the mantis,

"Or you." said a voice.

It looked to see the block jump on top of it and crashed into a building.


Location Unknown

Shippo opened his eyes to find himself in a nearly complete pitch black room. The only light was a soft pale moon light, shining down on him. The rest of the room was engulfed in shadow. He could nothing, besides a faint sound that sounded like breathing.

He looked around, but all he could see was darkness. He had the look of fear in his eyes.

"W . . . Where am I?" he asked no one in particular.

"With a friend or a foe. That choice is your." said a faint whisper.

He looked around to find the source of the voice. He looked in the darkness and saw a pair of bright red eyes staring at him.

"Who are you?" asked Shippo,

"The one who saved you from dying." said the voice that sounded like a woman and like a demon at the same time.

"I wasn't dying. I don't know who you are, but I'm not afraid." said Shippo.

He could hear the woman soflty chuckle. There was something in her voice that made him feel safe, but he shook it. He had no idea where he was. The woman stood up from her throne and walked towards the child.

He saw her step into the light. Long black hair reached her waist, dressed in a black robe with sleeves that nearly reached down her hands, her skin was greenish blue, and she had a bracelet with a red gem in it. She smiled at Shippo.

"You have nothing to fear, Shippo." said the woman,

"How do you know my name?" asked Shippo.

"I know a great deal about you. You lost your father to a pair of demons called the Thunder Brothers; you joined a half demon known as Inuyasha, along with his friends to destroy a very powerful demon called Naraku. Your world like mine was affected by Lyoko and you have made new friends who seek the one who controls Lyoko. Xana." said the woman,

"How do you know all this?" asked Shippo.

The woman chuckled softly.

"I have my ways." she said,

"Well, what do you want?" asked Shippo.

"Your help." said the woman,

"What do you mean?" asked Shippo.

"You are now all alone. Kagome, the one who protected you and was like a mother to abandoned you when you fell into Xana's black hole." said the woman,

"That's not true!" snapped Shippo.

"Then why are you here? If she was truly a mother to you than she would have protected you. And Inuyasha always bullied you for trying to help out." said the woman,

"Kagome tried to save me when that black hole pulled me in." said Shippo.

"Are you sure?" asked the woman,

"I am . . ." said Shippo.

"Are you sure?" asked the woman again, cutting him off from finishing his sentence.

He glared at the woman as she smiled down at him.

"If you want to go back I will not stop you. Let's just hope you can find your way home." said the woman.

A door opened and Shippo bolted out of the room as the woman sat back on her throne and smiled. Shippo ran through the halls and out of the mansion, only to see a dark purple sky with floating glaciers that held the towers on them. Around the mansion were plants and trees that were dead and decaying. He ran for a tower on the ground, but three tarantulas guarded it.

As soon as they saw him they raised their arms and fired a barrage of lasers. He ran for cover as the lasers nearly hit him. He kept running. In the mansion the woman watched him from a large window, smiling.


Location Unknown

Xana sat in his room as he thought. His new monsters' personality would be a problem, but with the right motivating they would be unstoppable. His computer beeped and Xana opened his eyes. The screen showed the child known as Shippo outside a dark mansion being chased by three tarantulas.

"Locate Tarantula group." said Xana.

The computer beeped and started scanning. Ever since Lyoko's fusion with other worlds Xana's monsters and towers had been scattered and Xana needed to know the location of any missing groups of monsters.

"Location: Sixth Dimension." said the computer.

Xana was now interested.

"Lord Fear and Kilobyte know more about that world, since they came from it. No doubt they know where the child is in the Sixth Dimension. Contact Tarantula group in Sixth Dimension. Order them to cease fire." said Xana,

"Cannot comply. Risk of transmission being intercepted by enemies." said the computer.

Xana glared, but knew that the computer was right.

"Is communication with Fear and Kilobyte secure?" asked Xana,

"Affirmative." said the computer.

"Open a channel to them. A secure channel." said Xana.

The computer complied and opened a link.


Lord Fear and Kilobyte's hideout

Lord Fear used his new powers on his henchmen to test it out. Anvil charged at him and tried to punch him with anvil attached to his arm, but Fear raised Staff Head and created a green shield that knocked Anvil down.

"Why Anvil no punch Fear?" asked Anvil,

"Don't feel hurt, Anvil. We all have had better days." said Lord Fear, cackling.

Googler and Pigface leapt at him, but Staff Head glowed and the air around them now became a green misty tentacle that wrapped around them tightly. Lord Fear and Staff Head laughed at the minions as they struggled.

"This is too easy. Not even Ace Lightning can stop me. I am unstoppable!" said Lord Fear.

Rick was at his computer as Lady Illusion still guarded him. His computer beeped.

"We have a communication channel opening." said Rick,

"From who?" asked Kilobyte, who was cloaked in shadows.

"Xana." said Rick.

Xana's symbol appeared on the screen for a second and then changed into his image. It was mostly dark when you saw him on the screen, but you could see his figure with help of his pale skin and luminous green eyes.

"What is it, Xana?" asked Lord Fear,

"On our last encounter with our enemies the little fox demon was sucked into the black hole I created and is now in the Sixth Dimension. A group of Tarantulas are chasing him now." said Xana.

"That little brat is none of our concern." said Staff Head,

"I want to know the location of where he is in the Sixth Dimension. I would like to retrieve the monsters in that world." said Xana.

"I know of only the Tarantulas you speak of. Before I returned to the mortal realm your monsters defeated both the Elite warriors of good and evil. Nothing could defeat them." said Kilobyte,

"The little fox might still be useful." said a cold voice.

Out of the shadows stepped Naraku.

"Why do you always sneak up on us?" asked Dirty Rat.

Naraku ignored him and stepped forward to Xana's image.

"The fox child is lost, alone, abandoned. He might be useful to us in our deal." said Naraku,

"That is your concern. My army of monsters were scattered when Lyoko fused and I would like to retrieve as many as possible. Fear, what is the location of the fox?" asked Xana.

A map appeared and Fear gasped.

"If I am reading this right that little kid is at the lair of Morganna." said Fear,

"I am not interested in the name, only the location." said Xana.

"Why would you only be interested in the monsters? We could use the boy against our enemies." said Naraku,

"True, but I know that he cannot fight. If he was useful I would change my mind, but there is the matter of the enemy. They are looking for the boy as we speak and us." said Xana.

"Let them find us, I say. With the new powers we have we'll crush them." said Dirty Rat,

"The rat and Naraku both bring up a good point. I know the boy's friends will look for him without stopping." said Lord Fear.

"Emotions would play a key part." said Kilobyte, smiling.

"Even so, I cannot engage them until the time is right. However since you have brought up some points, there are a few matters that acquire my attention. Go ahead and attack them if you wish. I will join you in the battle soon enough." said Xana.

His image vanished.


Xana's hideout

Xana closed the link with Kilobyte and Fear and opened a new channel.

"Monster generals." said Xana.

Their images appeared on the screen as Xana called them.

"Head for Kadic Junior High and distract the enemy while I move to attend something important." said Xana,

"And that would be . . ." said creeper.

"Nothing that concerns you, I assure. I have many plans so I don't have time to discuss it. Move!" said Xana.

The monsters nodded and headed for the school.


Kadic Junior High

Jeremy and Aelita were at the computer lab using the computers to search for Shippo so they could find him before the virals do. Kagome was with her friends, but she was very worried about the young fox's disappearance. Jeremy and Aelita volunteered to help find Shippo. Suddenly the wall was blasted to pieces and the computers were smashed.

The others ran in to the see the mantis fly in.

"Honey, I'm home!" shouted the mantis.

He flew around firing lasers and cackling. Inuyasha unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the mantis.

"Hey, fish freak!" shouted Inuyasha,

"I wouldn't use the word 'fish'." said the mantis.

The mantis started changing. His flippers pointed like they were wings and rockets blasted to life from his back. It moved with greater speed and blasted through the wall again. The crab watched the mantis fly out of the school.

"That's the signal. Party time." said the crab.

His front legs and back came together. His two front legs were brought in front of him while the other two were brought together behind. The pincers that were his legs changed into giant wheels. One on the front and one on the back.

The crab went to full throttle and he drove at the school like a motorcycle. Jeremy saw the crab and couldn't believe his eyes. Ulrich used his super speed and ran at the crab. The crab brought his wheels to a hard stop and changed back to normal as the force of his stop sent him into the air.

He landed behind Ulrich and fired a barrage of laser. Ulrich turned and avoided most of the laser, but he was hit in the leg. The tarantula came into the school grounds and saw the crab and the mantis in their upgraded forms. He saw Danny and the others come out.

"I'm not about let the crab and mantis have all the fun." said the tarantula.

He stood on his back legs as claws came out of the feet, his front lasers became hands and two red swords appeared. Odd fired his arrows, but the tarantula blocked them with his swords and charged at them. Miroku prepared to use the wind tunnel, but noticed the bugs created by fusion of Xana's hornets and Naraku's insects had appeared. The megatank appeared and opened its shell.

It would have appeared normal, if it wasn't for red tentacles coming out of the shell and attacking. Jeremy and Aelita were on the defensive as the tarantula charged at them and swung its swords. Aelita jumped with great speed and landed behind the tarantula. She and Jeremy tried to attack, but the tarantula raised its foot and kicked Jeremy while blocking Aelita's sword with its own.

The mantis flew around and fired lasers at Inuyasha, who tried to hit it, but the mantis flew away before he could even swing.

"Hold still you lousy fish!" snapped Inuyasha,

"Watch what your calling lousy, you dirty mutt." said the mantis.

The mantis flew up into the sky and back down and fired a shower of lasers at everyone. Danny pushed Tucker and Sam out of the way, but as he faced the mantis Valerie jumped and prepared her new ghost weapon. A sword like a lightsaber but made for absorbing a ghost's powers leaving him weak and easy to capture. The tarantula noticed Odd and Yumi running out of the school and jumped at them.

Yumi threw her fans, but the tarantula swung his swords and batted them away. Yumi quickly placed her hands at her head and glowed white. The fans flew back at the tarantula as Aelita, Jeremy, Odd attacked. The tarantula blocked Odd's arrows and jumped as Jeremy fired a laser from his staff and swung its left foot to trip Aelita.

She jumped and swung her sword at the tarantula's head, but the monster raised its left foot and fired a red laser that struck her in the chest. The sensation of pain burned through her body as she was sent into the air and hit the ground.

"You are tired, little Lyoko sprite. Do not get up and I will spare your life." said the tarantula.

Suddenly Yumi's fans sliced through its arms. It screamed as the arms hit the ground. It looked and saw Yumi smiling as her fans returned to her hand. The creature growled.

"You think it is that easy?" asked the tarantula.

The sliced of arms turned into a purple gooey substance and attached themselves back to the tarantula's arms. Its hands gripped its swords as it turned to Yumi.

"Your strongest warrior is not here to protect you, no tower to deactivate so you can make evil go away, no hitting the symbol to blow up the monster, no warrior to save you at the last minute." said the tarantula.

Yumi glared and prepared to throw her fans again, Odd raised his arm, Jeremy held his staff in defense position, and Aelita gripped her sword. The tarantula chuckled and its eyes were full of amusement. It jumped into the air as Yumi and Odd fired their weapons and raised its sword. Jeremy created a barrier to stop the monster, but the tarantula swung its sword with such force it shattered the barrier like glass.

Aelita sang a note and giant boulder appeared above the creature as it neared. It looked to see the boulder fall down on it and swung its swords with great speed. When the boulder was inches from its head it sliced in two and landed on either side of the boulder. It chuckled and approached her.

Sango, Miroku, and Kagome fought of the hornets that were created from Naraku and Xana's insects as they fired lasers and spit acid. The creeper crawled into the school grounds to see the fight. It chuckled and transformed. Bat like wings emerged from its back and its tail was pointy and its hands were clawed.

It flew into the air and opened its mouth. A screeching sound much like a bat came out and was heard throughout the school. Glass shattered at the sound and everyone, excluding the monsters covered their ears as they heard he screech. A tornado was seen and Koga appeared and saw the fight.

"Looks like that mutt has got Kagome in trouble, again." said Koga,

"You are all in trouble." said a voice.

He turned to see the roachster emerging from the forest.

"Yeah, right. One kick and you're done for so scurry away before you get in trouble." said Koga.

The roachster's weapon glowed red as Koga stood ready, but instead of a laser being fired it was a sticky fluid that moved so fast it glued Koga's legs to the ground before he knew what happened.

"You didn't think it would that easy?" asked the roachster,

"So you glued my foot to the ground, big deal. I will be out of this stuff in a second." said Koga.

"Oh really?" asked another voice.

The block emerged and fired an ice beam. It froze Koga before he could even move.

"Too easy." said the block.


The Sixth Dimension

Morganna watched as Shippo hid from the tarantulas. This little fox was useful to her and knew it was only a matter of time. Suddenly she heard something. She looked to see a black cloud slowly come through the wall like a ghost.

It flew into the middle of the room and pulsed. It change and in it stood shadow in human form, but it was still pulsing. The darkness of cloud began to form and pale skin soon appeared where the darkness was. Bright sharp green eyes looked her with dark triangular marks under them.

The figure was a teenaged mortal with a black T shirt and black baggy pants, he wore dark fingerless gloves on his hands, and a long black katana was sheathed around his waist. His hair was jet black with red streaks and it was spiked. Morganna knew this creature. The one who controlled Lyoko known as Xana.

She smiled as she looked at the virus.

"So, the great Xana is here." said Morganna,

"Cut the talk, Morganna. Yes, I know your name. Fear was happy to give me information. I am only here to collect my monsters." said Xana.

"And the fox child?" asked Morganna,

"I don't need him." said Xana.

"True, but I can help you and so can the fox." said Morganna,

"How?" asked Xana.

"About we make a deal?" asked Morganna,

"If I do, what's in it for me?" asked Xana.

"I have knowledge of the location of every monster that belongs to you." said Morganna.

Xana thought this over for a minute.

"Very well." said Xana,

"We could still use the boy." said Morganna.

"Do what you wish with the boy, I have some monsters to retrieve." said Xana.

His form transformed back into the black cloud and slowly slithered through the wall. Morganna smiled and walked out of the room.


Outside the mansion

Shippo hid behind a tree as the tarantulas neared. One happened to see him and he tried to blind it with his fox fire. However it had no effect on the monster as it raised its arms at him. Suddenly it returned to sitting position as the Xana logo glowed red.

He heard a soft chuckled and saw Morganna and a transparent cloud behind her with Xana's logo. Morganna smiled at the young fox.

"Where was your surrogate mother when those monsters where chasing you? She never came to protect you." said Morganna,

"That's because you had him send them after me!" shouted Shippo, pointing at cloud.

The cloud made no sound, but its eye glared at Shippo with red light. Shippo heard a snicker behind him. He turned to see Naraku.

"You! Get away!" shouted Shippo,

"Hush, little kitsune. I am not here to harm and neither are they." said Naraku, pointing at Morganna and Xana.

"Why would I trust you?" asked Shippo,

"That is the question isn't it?" asked Xana, in black cloud form.

"Your surrogate mother abandoned you in the tower and left you be hunted down by rogue monsters. We saved you from them." said Naraku,

"So you can trick me. I will never work for somebody like you." said Shippo.

Xana chuckled.

"So, you think it is black and white here, don't you? The path of right and wrong, but I have some news for you, kid. The path is sometimes obscured by shades of grey. Good and evil are opposite, yes, but there is such a thing as grey areas, neutral." said Xana,

"What are you talking about?" asked Shippo.

"There is way for you to understand, more clearly." said Morganna,

"How?" asked Shippo.

"You have a lot of potential, but you will never understand you're potential if you hide behind Kagome and Inuyasha for the rest of your life. You will have to grow up." said Naraku.

Shippo boldly glared at Naraku, Morganna, and Xana. If it annoyed them then they didn't show it.

"Perhaps I should show you what we are talking about." said Morganna.

She raised her hand and in the distance and red light glowed. Suddenly Shippo felt something calling out to him. Voices echoed in his head and called him to the light. He felt being drawn to it like a magnet.

"Go to it." said Morganna.

He stepped forward and ran into the bushes towards the light. Morganna smiled while Xana transformed into his human form. He walked over to the monsters and created a black and red vortex that sucked them in. He turned to Morganna and Naraku.

"So making a new soldier for your army, Morganna? No wonder Fear was afraid of you." said Xana,

"He was afraid I would control him like I took control of countless others." said Morganna.

"What will happen when he finds the light?" asked Naraku,

"The same thing that has happened to others." said Morganna.


Kadic Junior High

Xana's monsters kept attacking relentlessly as Inuyasha, the Lyoko gang, fought hard and Danny avoided the attacks of Valerie Grey's sword. Vlad Plasmius stood on the roof watching the battle. He smiled as Danny kept moving to avoid her sword and laser gun meant for capturing ghosts. Suddenly the creeper's sonic blast was redirected by Yumi's power and near Valerie.

The blast sent her into the wall and knocked her out.

"Thanks, Yumi." said Danny.

He flew at the creeper, preparing to blast. Vlad flew into the air and attacked him from behind. Danny hit the ground and saw Vlad in the air.

"Watch your back, Danny. You never know whose going appear." said Vlad,

"About a taste of the weapons you gave to Valerie?" asked Danny.

He flew at Vlad and swung Valerie's sword. Vlad split up in four and flew around Danny. They fired at him from all directions, but Danny used Valerie's sword to block them. He smiled and flew into the air, avoiding the four Vlads.

They prepared to pursue Danny, but a blast destroyed two of them. The other two looked to see Sam holding a ghost laser and a belt that repelled any ghost that touched her.

"Surprise." said Sam.

The two Vlads merged back together and fired at her. Danny took advantage of the distraction and landed a punch in Vlad's face. Vlad quickly grabbed him and flung him into the ground and repeated the process until Sam fired at him again. He let go of Danny and avoided the laser.

Danny quickly fired and blasted him in the chest, sending him a few yards away. Ulrich used his speed to avoid the lasers being fired by the crab that was in motorcycle from as it sped towards him. Aelita, Jeremy, and Yumi the attacks of the wielding tarantula, Inuyasha faced the mantis and the creeper, Koga escaped his icy bonds and avoided the attacks of the roachster and the block, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome faced the hornets, Danny took on Vlad Plasmius. Suddenly a flash of lightning struck all the monsters as Ace and Sparx flew into the grounds.

"Retreat!" shouted the tarantula.

The monsters all vanished. Ace and Sparx walked over to the others.

"Sorry we're late. We ran into some trouble. Some of Fear's minions attacked us and had us pinned down." said Ace,

"Better late than never." said Yumi.

"I don't think Ace and Sparx are the reasons those monsters retreated. They had us all pinned down and no attempt to finish us off." said Jeremy,

"You believe this attack was a diversion?" asked Aelita.

"It's possible, but I don't know why. Xana had us all right he wanted us. He could have finished us." said Jeremy,

"That's the reason we were late. Mark and Chuck contacted us and told us that they located the little fox kid." said Ace.

"Where is he?" asked Miroku,

"In our world, the Sixth Dimension." said Sparx.

"How did he get there?" asked Inuyasha,

"We don't know, but we do know that he ended up at Morganna's lair." said Ace.

"Who's Morganna?" asked Kagome,

"Someone we wouldn't care to forget. She and the Lightning knights go way back. It was back when Fear arose to power and gained to control of the evil side." said Ace.


Flashback

Ace narrating

Back in the old days the Sixth Dimension was like the mortal realm, but the people there were slightly different. Some had a third eye on their forehead, others had a tail or wings on their back, but that didn't mean they did not have ordinary jobs. Some were scientist that sought great secrets that were left in the ancient time. The Lightning Knights as you know are people who enforce order in the Sixth Dimension.

The most recent artifact was the Amulet of Zoar. A powerful artifact created by an evil dictator who wished to use to control the Sixth Dimension and many other worlds. All of the worlds united and destroyed the dictator and hit the amulet away from any other evil. When the amulet was discovered all the best Lightning Knights were there to guard it because anybody would have loved to get their hands on it.

That day one Lightning Knight who was greedy planned to steal the amulet for himself. He visited the dark corners of the Sixth Dimension and made a deal with some of the most powerful evil forces. In return for helping him get the Amulet of Zoar he would use it to increase their power.

"So it is agreed. Your powers will be increased, but the amulet will be mine. I have infinite knowledge of the Lightning Knight's security and I can get you inside." said a tall teen with dark blue hair and reddish brown eyes.

He was dressed in the lightning knight's uniform.

"As you wish, Fealdor. We will do it your way, but no mistakes or we will show what happens to those who double cross us." said a woman cloaked in shadows.

"I will hold my end of the bargain." said Fealdor.

That knight when they attacked Fealdor deactivated the security barrier and allowed the evils to take the Lightning Knights by surprise. I and a group of rookies came up with a plan. Just as the evils entered we attacked from behind with everything we had. We took them by surprise, but some of us were killed. They were good friends.

Fealdor snuck into the chamber where the Amulet of Zoar was locked up. He followed him and we fought. Both of our attacks struck the amulet and set of an energy blast. I was hit by positive energy and Fealdor was struck by negative energy.

The energy mutated us both. I was given super human strength and Fealdor was mutated into a skeleton. He abandoned the name 'Fealdor' and took on the name of the dictator that created the Amulet of Zoar. Lord Fear.

He fled as the Lightning Knights recovered and fought back. Fear's plan failed and Morganna along with the other evils intended to punish him. However that day was the day he was crippled and the amulet gave him Staff Head. A staff that could destroy Lightning Knights and evil creature from the Sixth Dimension.

He fought back and some of the evils went over to his side for a piece of his power. His power and mine were connected to amulet, along with anyone else who harnessed its power. Morganna was forced to retreat into the dark corners of the Sixth Dimension. Still Fear was afraid of her and stayed away from her fortress.


The present

"So, then that's how Fear and you came into being." said Miroku,

"I wish that your little fox didn't end up near Morganna. The reason why Fear is afraid of her is because Morganna created a hoard of shadow creatures that can infect any living creature and force it to become an evil creature like Morganna and Fear." said Ace.

"How do we know Shippo is near Morganna's mansion?" asked Kagome,

"We don't. Mark and Chuck said he was leaving Morganna's and was not infected, but Xana and Naraku were spotted there." said Ace.

"What?" asked Koga,

"Why would Xana and Naraku go there?" asked Inuyasha.

"Xana's monsters were there. They disappeared when Xana arrived, we think Xana sent them here." said Ace,

"He's collecting his monsters to rebuild his army." said Jeremy.

"But what does that have to do with Naraku?" asked Koga,

"I really don't know." said Ace.


Near Morganna's mansion

Shippo neared the source of the red light. The strange presence was calling for him; he could not shake the feeling off and felt he was being drawn to it like a magnet. He soon found the source of the red light. A red glowing orb floating above the ground.

Shippo stepped towards and bent over. He was scared and interested at the same time as leaned forward at the orb. It told him to touch it. Shippo's hand reached out to it like it was possessed. Shippo tried to fight it off but it was too strong.

His hand touched the orb and soon enough the orb started to move. Shippo's hand was glued to it as moved into his body. As soon as it entered him he looked at himself and noticed nothing, but felt different inside. He suddenly glowed red as his eyes became glassy and his face emotionless.

He was now floating in the air.

"What is happening to me?" asked Shippo to no one.

"You are merging with me as it was predicted. I have waited a long time for this. Do not be afraid, for as long as I am here we shall walk together and you will have nothing to fear again." said a female voice that sounded like it came from everywhere around him and nowhere at the same time.

"What do you mean you have waited a long time for this?" asked Shippo,

"I come from a race of higher being composed of energy. However we are forced to devolve since our energy is dying. We need physical bodies to survive and the ones who merge with us are predicted by centre of our energy. You were meant to merge with me so that I can help my people." said the voice.

"But why me?" asked Shippo,

"You are a kitsune which is rare because the kitsunes of the Sixth Dimension are extinct." said the voice.

"Extinct? We are in the Sixth Dimension?" asked Shippo,

"Yes, and now Shippo it is time for us to become one." said the voice.

His vision was completely obscure but a red orb was seen in his mind. He knew that the creature was lying; he felt something evil from it and was determined to make sure it did not take full control. He fought with everything he had.

"Why do you fight me? We are meant to become one." said the voice,

"I know you are lying." said Shippo.

He heard the voice laugh inside his mind.

'Very impressive little one, but I am inside your mind and now your body is my body." said the voice.

The voice now sounded demonic. He tried to fight, but the evil was too strong and now was reconstructing his body. He soon lost the ability to see completly and could not hear. He could only feel his changing. It was painful and knew the evil was making painful to mock.

"Kagome, help . . .. " said Shippo.


Next chapter coming soon.
