Chapter 9 Who is the Second Entity?

A.N. – So, this chapter focuses around the second entity. Unfortunately, the second entity will not be revealed until the final chapter as everything will be revealed about the world they are in. Let's begin!


Short Summary – After discovering that the Xana they are dealing with is more dangerous than the one back home, the Lyoko Warriors try to step up their efforts to get out. But as they go deeper, they discover more secrets of what lies beneath.


Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show.


The Lyoko Warriors awake, almost surprised that they survived the night. It seems Xana wanted the book and video destroyed. Their goal today was to explore the second checkpoint in the mineshaft. They all deported to the second checkpoint. They all went to the walls to see where the water source could be.

"I think this wall is closer to the water" Odd says to the rest.

Ulrich takes out his double sabers and gets rid of the stone in his way. But as he makes an opening, he sees a pair of legs walking past. "Quiet, we got company." He says quietly.

"Any ideas on how we deal with them?" Yumi asks.

"Well we either go in or try to find a safer way around. But considering the situation, that may not be an option" Aelita responds.

"Aelita's right. Time is short and we still don't know what the second entity is. If this is something worse than Xana, then we need to find a way to use the redstone to punch a signal through to the supercomputer" Jeremy agrees with her.

"Then I'll go first, and you guys follow," Ulrich tells them. He punches through the wall to get a hole with enough for them to fit through. The monsters all turn to him. "Hey guys, let's rumble." The monsters all turn towards him. Ulrich starts slashing, defeating him. Aelita, Odd, and Yumi all move in eventually. "Odd, with me! Yumi, Aelita, cover us from behind!"

Odd moves to the front with Ulrich, and the two start clearing out the cave of the monster infestation. The girls start to deal with any remaining ones trying to attack from behind. Odd looks to his left and sees fire and smoke.

"Aelita! I need a torch!" Odd tells her.

"Coming right up! Cover me Yumi!" Aelita responds.

"Got it!" She responds as Aelita makes a torch. She throws it to Odd.

Odd moves into the opening and clears all monsters in his way. He plants a torch and creates enough light to stop the machine. "There. All clear."

"Another one of those spawners, like the one Xana or X sent us that one time" Aelita says.

"Think Xana put this here?" Ulrich asks.

"Considering that the water and monsters were here before us, I think this was already here."

Suddenly, Jeremy got an alert on his screen. He panicked thinking he was found out. "Guys, I got an alert on my screen! I don't know if Xana has found me, but be prepared for anything."

"Relax, Einstein. What's the worst that can happen?" Odd replies as he suddenly moves slowly through a certain part of the cave and then falls down when he returns to normal speed.

"Jeremy did you see that?" Aelita asks.

"No, but Odd's digital envelope almost got severely damaged, almost altered" Jeremy responds.

"Think this is the work of the second entity?" Yumi asks.

"Possibly. But we don't know who or what that second entity is, so we don't know what it's capable of" Aelita responds.

Ulrich moved his hand and found he had the same problem as Odd. He quickly pulled his hand out. "It's not just Odd who's affected. This whole area is affected" Ulrich says.

"Well we can't just stay here trapped like in a prison" Yumi says as she tries to dash through but get slowed down and falls down like Odd after moving past it.

Ulrich tries using his super sprint but, get slowed down and runs into a wall after exiting. Aelita tries to fly over it, but she is also slowed down. Since she was in the air, she was able to land on her feet.

"All of your digital envelopes have been affected like Odd, but the area you moved through has planted some corrupted data in it. It looks like I can remove it though" Jeremy informs them.

Suddenly, Odd's body began to emit a glow that blinded the warriors. When their sight regained, they were all shocked by what Odd has turned into. "What are you looking at? You look like you've seen a ghost?"

"Odd…you've turned into…Xana" Aelita told him.

"WHAT?!" Odd exclaimed as he looked at his hands. He looked at his torso and saw the eye of Xana. He also no longer had his cat form. "This has to be some sort of sick joke, right?"

"Jeremy, do you see this?" Aelita asks.

"It has to do with the corruption of his digital envelope. I can change him back, but it will take some time" Jeremy responds.

"What if Odd is Xana?" Ulrich asks.

"As in?" Yumi asks him.

"What if Xana is stepping down and Odd just takes the role of the villain?"

"That wouldn't make sense. There has to be another reason behind him turning into Xana" Aelita answers.

"Maybe the second entity?" Odd asks.

"What are you implying?" Yumi questions.

"We don't know who or what is it, but if it's not allied with Xana, is there a chance it's against Xana."

"So?" Ulrich adds.

"So, Xana turns us into him, so he refocuses on it killing us so he can find time to destroy it instead of it destroying him" Aelita answers for Odd.

"So wait, are we all at risk of this happening to us? We all passed through the corrupted area" Ulrich asks with worry.

"Not so. I'm almost done with Odd. Once I'm done with him, I'll work on you the rest of you" Jeremy answers.

"Well, Xana just gave us a reason to go back home" Aelita answers.

"Back to the mountain? Are you sure?" Yumi asks.

"Just some reconnaissance. Get a better idea of what we're dealing with. Plus, I want to check out the beach."

"For what princess?" Odd asks.

"I got a few ideas and I need to run some tests."


It was the dead of night as the Lyoko Warriors traveled back to their old home. They traveled as fast and as quietly as they could to not alert Xana or any creatures of the night. When they saw the light, they looked from the hilltop and saw what they're home has become.

"Well, Xana turned our old base into a fortress" Ulrich committed on the new look.

All windows were blocked out by obsidian and now it had a more shadowy feel to it. The hillside dig out they made before Xana attacked them was all completely filled in. Whatever Xana and X were planning was definitely in motion to try to stop it.

"Think Xana is preparing for another attack?" Aelita asks.

"Or preparing for a war" Odd adds.

The Lyoko Warriors were all oblivious to real reason behind why Xana wanted their base.


The Lyoko Warriors were at the beach and Aelita liked this spot.

"Alright, time to run some tests" Aelita says.

"Aelita, exactly what are you planning here?" Jeremy asks.

"A simulation of what happens during our escape."


A.N. – Aelita has a plan, but this plan will bring complications down on them as it will draw Xana to them. Next time, the Lyoko Warriors have their first real confrontation with Xana, but there will be a better one down the road. Will Aelita's plan come to success or will Xana spoil everything for her? Only one way to find out. Sorry for the short chapter. The bigger ones have a more of a central story plot point. The next one will be about this length but will have a semi-major plot point. PM me with story ideas if you have any! Don't forget to review with questions or comments! I will respond! Stay safe and healthy out there! As always, till next time! See ya! -lyokowarrior97
