Chapter 10 Xana Attacks!
A.N. – So, this the first encounter that the Lyoko Warriors have a fight against Xana. There will be a better one down the road, but for now this is the only encounter. Let's begin!
Short Summary – The Lyoko Warriors decide to build a small base on the beach at Aelita's request. She believes that being here could provide a vital part of the research needed to escape. However, Xana has different plans for them.
Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show.
As the morning approached the Lyoko Warriors returned to their new base to gather materials to build a small base by the beach. The group doesn't know why Aelita needs this, but she believes it will help them in the long run. With no way to attempt an escape yet, research was the only thing they could do now.
Along the way, they marked a path that led from the beach directly back to their home base. This would allow them to travel easily between the two and also have a more direct route in case they needed it.
Once they were at home, they gather materials from the mineshaft as well as any other resources they had available at the time. They used stone to make a path from their base to the beach base.
It had been a day since the Lyoko Warriors saw the new base that Xana and X have established. Xana knew that they didn't know the real reason behind why the base was being used for, but he still considered them knowing a threat. He then made it his personal mission to confront them.
"Where were the Lyoko Warriors headed when they passed by us the other day?" Xana asked X.
"The direction they were headed in leads down to the beach" X responded.
"Since you can sneak easier than me, investigate what is going on down there. Make sure that they are not accelerating the time he will be dormant."
X headed to the front door. "I will be back shortly."
"I hate them back home, but if they are allied with him to kill me, then we all will have a bigger problem than our feud."
Xana feared what was the second entity…and he knew what power it contained.
As the day progressed, all but Aelita were working on the small base. They decided to go a simple route and use wood and stone. While they were all working, Aelita continued to stare out at the seemingly endless ocean.
"The ocean provides an uninterrupted pass through. With this we could use this to try to propel us forward. When passed by a certain point, a signal will reach the supercomputer, and then we reach an access point which will be our rematerialization point" Aelita said to herself figuring out plans of how to make a long enough stretch to escape.
From around the corner, X hid in the shadows and observed all of them. He noticed they were building a small little shack to be used as some sort of base.
"Nothing too special. A small little hideout. Could be nothing or something. Who knows what their plotting on the inside. I hope they're not trying to awaken the second entity. I gave them that book in confidence that they would see the danger they are in" X whispered to himself quietly. He then noticed Aelita all by herself. "What's she up too?" He snuck up to her. Unfortunately, X heard something that made him think of the wrong thing.
"If we generate enough of a power source around this area, then we could provide enough power needed for our plan to work" Aelita continued to speak.
"So, they are planning on reawakening him. Her friends are pretty preoccupied at the moment. I'll make my move."
X snuck quietly behind Aelita and grabbed her and covered her mouth so her friends wouldn't hear her scream. She tried to break out but was unsuccessful. "Stop resisting, it is useless. You don't know me, but I want to help you so we can help each other. Abandon this idea now! You're putting us, as well as yourself, in great danger! You don't know what kind of force you're messing with and the unhinged power that comes with it. If you continue, we will all die! Consider this your one and only warning."
As soon as X released her, she quickly turned around to see no one there. Aelita began to wonder if she imagined all of it. But if she did, it was pretty realistic as she could still feel the hand that held her and the one that covered her mouth.
After about a few hours, the evening arrived and the Lyoko Warriors finished their beach base.
"Well, it took us a while, but we did it" Ulrich commented on it.
"So princess, what's the point of having us build this thing?" Odd asks Aelita.
"Come inside and I'll show you" Aelita told them as they all entered.
X returned to Xana to report his findings. "I don't know if they're trying to resurrect the second entity, but they have a small base set up on the beach. I also heard Aelita talking about a power source that could supply them with enough power to do whatever is they are planning."
"As we all know, a strong supply of power is needed to resurrect the second entity. Even if they are not trying to bring him back, we can't let them construct it." Xana head to the door. "I'm going to head out and deal with this problem personally." Xana then walked out and headed in the direction of where the Lyoko Warriors base was set up.
Aelita grabbed a stick and started to draw plans in the sand. "So, the point of us having this is to have a sort of transport between our main base and our soon-to-be escape point. I observed the ocean and the coast and found a way that this can be used. The ocean extends for a great deal of time. Enough for us to gain the speed needed to power our way out. There is still the power question. We have redstone, but that will only be used on the rail cart system. But I started to think of how to draw energy from a sort of unnatural source."
"Unnatural source? Did you find the second entity?" Ulrich asks.
"No, but if we get the right equipment, we can do this thing. But, when the time comes for our escape, you need to listen to me. No questioning, and no doubting. It's the only way we can achieve our goals. And we need to move on this thing soon."
"Why?" Yumi questions.
"X came to me. He told me that when this happens, the second entity will come. Which means if it's gonna awaken, the longer we spend, the more time it has to gain power." Suddenly, Aelita smelled something suspicious. "Anyone else smell that?"
Suddenly, smoke started to fill the room. And then flames started to enter the place. "It's on fire!" Yumi screamed.
"Then I think it's time we quit this place! Come on!" Ulrich says as they all rush out the door and encounter Xana.
"Hello warriors! Your end is now!" Xana exclaimed.
Xana had a fire weapon in his hand and a hoard of monsters behind him. The warriors took off in a run and Xana and the monsters followed. As Xana followed, he lit parts of the path on fire.
The Lyoko Warriors eventually returned to their base, and they all went inside. "We're trapped! Xana's gonna burn us alive!" Odd said, realizing their house was made out of wood.
"It's now or never! We gotta confront Xana!" Aelita orders them.
They all exited, and they all went to wait for Xana. When Xana arrived, they all rushed them. Ulrich was first as he went in. Xana lit a fire in front of him. Ulrich jumps over it and slashes him. Xana slides back a little from the force of impact. Yumi goes in and she uses her gymnast abilities to get over the monsters that stood between her and Xana. She jumped up high in the air and threw her fan striking Xana. He slides back a little further. Odd rushes in, destroying monsters as he has his eyes locked on Xana. Odd fires a quick arrow and Xana slides back to a wall. When he looks up, he sees Aelita flying towards him. She fires a quick orb, that defeats him.
"This isn't the end! When next we meet, I'll be in perfect condition" Xana says as he fades away and all the monsters disappear.
"He was tough" Ulrich says, stashing his sabers.
"If this was him at his weakest, I'd hate to see him at full power" Odd adds.
"Well now what?" Yumi asks.
"We start planning our escape. The situation has just turned dire," Aelita says. "I may have a plan, but we need to test it, so our first step is to head back into the mines."
Xana respawned back into his base and then he approached X. "Seems we have a problem. The Lyoko Warriors seem to have an ally here helping them."
"Is it the second entity?" X asks.
"No but be sure that this individual will be locked up here to prevent them from helping them any further."
"That's good to hear."
"Good, because I have a new home for you." Xana knocks him out. "Assisting the warriors was a bad idea. I won't kill you, but I'll make sure you suffer as I deal with the warriors." Xana drags him away to make sure X doesn't interfere with his plans anymore.
A.N. – Plot twist! Now X will personally have a grudge against Xana, which will allow him to be loyal to the warriors. But next time, the Lyoko Warriors try to find the rest of the materials needed to prepare a test run of their escape attempt. But also, Xana begins a preparation for the end.
