There is going to be only one more chapter left but there will be a sequel but not for a while I'm trying to work on the stories that I've already got going especially with school starting on the 8th.
Disclaimer: I own Sasha and my plot that's it
Sasha landed on her feet her shoes making a light 'thump' sound against the floor that echoed throughout the room. Moments later Odd landed cat like to her right.
"Ulrich coming?" Sasha asked. Straightening up Odd nodded "I think s.." Odd was interrupted buy Ulrich crashing into the floor.
"Ok, I really don't want to have to do that again," he commented pushing himself off the floor. Sasha giggled, "you just need a bit more practice."
"Hey we made it," Odd was the first to notice that they were in the core room. "Xana is on his last strings," Sasha said happily as she looked around the room. Then she spotted it, a horizontal cylinder being supported by blue light alone.
Sasha walked as if she was in a trace over to it. Her footsteps echoed eerily as she walked. Odd and Ulrich just watched her from where they stood.
Sasha stopped in front of it resting her hand in the glowing blue cylinder. Now moving form their spot Odd and Ulrich walked over to Sasha stopping just being her so that they could see the cylinder.
It was glowing in blue and had an inscription on it. Below the inscription was two had prints and between the hand prints a giant key hole.
"Blue and purple will unite to unlock the cores secrets but only when they become one will it open," Sasha said in a barely addable whisper.
"You think this is it? My little angel this is just the beginning of the end." Xana's dark voice filled the chamber.
The room was filled with a smoke. "You already tried this remember?" Sasha stated wearily.
Raising her key with both hands she slammed it into the ground. A wave of light erupted from it ripping across the blue floor casting the darkness away.
"This doesn't look like very good odds," Ulrich commented. The room had been filled with what looked like 20 dinos all poised for attack.
"Well, let's get this over with," Sasha sighed as she transformed her key into her blade. "Bet I can get more than you guys," Odd said as he placed his hand on his wrist.
"You're on," Sasha said as she ran toward the nearest Dino. At the first hint of movement the dinos leapt into action. Sasha jumped into the air and just avoided one dino's snapping jaws.
Performing a front flip in the air Sasha jammed her blade into the dino's weak point. It grunted and burst into pieces just as Sasha landed perfectly on the floor. "One down, lots more to go," she mumbled to herself.
"Watch out behind you!" Ulrich called out to Sasha. Sasha wheeled around and slashed the dino across the face before it could finish charging and shoot.
Like the one before it, this one exploded into pieces revealing another one poised to attack.
Sasha was about to attack it when she was hit from behind. Crashing to the floor on her stomach Sasha was forced to let go of her blade for what seemed like the 30th time that day. It skidded across the floor out of her reach.
Rolling onto her back Sasha observed about 5 dinos surrounding her. All of them were charging for an attack.
"Laser arrow!" Two dinos wobbled and fell over leaving the others to launch their attack. Odd landed next to Sasha, "hold on" he said calmly as he helped her up.
The three remaining dinos fired. Two of the dinos missed but one hit its mark. Sasha winced in pain as the laser came in contact with her lower back the force of the impact wrenching her out of Odd's grasp and making her fall down on her stomach again and skid across the floor.
Luckily it was toward her blade. Picking it up Sasha heaved herself wearily to her feet. Running at the dino on the left she smashed her blade into it's Xana mark. It exploded along with the two next to it.
Sasha looked over to see both Odd and Ulrich where the dinos once stood. "I think I'm winning," she smirked as she launched herself into the air.
Turning her backs to her two comrades the only thing that made her sure that the two were still there was the occasional 'laser arrow!' Or 'impact!'
Spotting her next clump of victims she headed toward a group of snapping dinos. Letting her blade fall a bit lower than her feet she dragged it through the air and across three dino's Xana marks. However before the third dino explode it grabbed her tail and pulled her to the ground.
Landing with a yelp Sasha looked up from her position on her back to see five more charging dino's. Sasha's eyes widened and she jumped out of the way as fast as she could.
When Sasha made her dive for protection she slid under a dino. Thinking quick she jabbed her blade into its stomach as hard as she could. She was amazed to see it explode.
'That shouldn't have happened' she thought. Then it dawned on her as she jumped out of the way of a dinos attack. 'The others must have aimed for me and hit it instead.' Sasha reasoned.
Running toward the nearest dino she jumped onto its back. It roared with anger at it's lack of ability to reach her. It started to thrash wildly in attempt to thrown the girl from it's back. But Sasha dug her claws into its thick hide and held fast.
In one swift movement she lifted her blade and smashed it into its Xana mark. It wobbled as Sasha attempted to jump off of it making her dismout a little off. Then a she was about to land on the floor she was caught by the explosion.
It threw her head first into a wall. After the impact she landed in a heap on the floor unconscious.
"Where did Sasha go?" Ulrich called as he slammed his katana into a dino's face face. Landing on the ground he noticed that only two dino's were gone. He was glad for he imagined that all of them were running low on life points.
"Not sure, I'll take this one and you take that one," Odd instructed as he jumped out of the way of a dino's laser blast. Ulrich called out to his friend, "ok."
Turning to his dino he stared into its dark eyes. The dino responded to the silent challenge by opening it's mouth showing all it's razor sharp teeth and starting to charge up.
"Super sprint," Ulrich muttered to himself. In a split second he was racing toward it with abnormal speed. It stared at Ulrich surprised at his sudden burst of speed.
That split second was all Ulrich needed to slam his sword into it's forehead right between it's eyes. "Impact," Ulrich called as he wrenched out his katana. Ulrich landed perfectly in front of the dino in time to see it explode.
"Sasha!" Odd cried. Ulrich whipped around to see Odd running toward an apparently unconscious Sasha.
"What happened?" Ulrich asked panting because of all the dinos he had to fight off.
Odd came to a stop at Sasha's side. Yep, she was knocked unconscious though they weren't entirely sure how she got that way. Her key was a lying few inches away from her limp outstretched fingers.
"She's just knocked out she'll be fine if we can just wake her up." Ulrich commented as he came up behind Odd.
Odd knelt down and picked up the girl and pulled her into his lap. "Come on you have to wake up we can't to this without you," Odd begged quietly. Nothing happened.
Ulrich sighed, "how are we going to wake her up we need her to unlock it and I'm not certain but I don't think the hand print scanner thing will accept hers if she's unconscious," Ulrich commented as he picked up her key. "Wow this thing is light," he said mostly to himself.
When Ulrich didn't receive a response he looked back over to his friend. Odd was still sitting there holding Sasha as if he was afraid that she would disappear before his eyes, then again, anything was possible in Lyoko.
Ulrich watched Odd brush a few strands of hair away from her face. "Come on wake up," he begged almost silently. "Please Sasha, we need you, I need you," Odd begged just as quietly as before.
As if he had spoken some kind of magic words a light engulfed Sasha. Ulrich and Odd just stared as the shimmering light died down. At first it didn't seem as if it had left any affect. Then her eyelids fluttered open.
Before she could say or do anything Odd pulled her up into an embrace. "You're ok," he said happily.
Sasha lightly pulled away from his grasp, "yah I'm fine, but if you haven't forgotten we have some unfinished business." Sasha stated.
Getting to her feet she looked around for something. Ulrich realizing what she must be looking for held out her key. "Oh thanks," she said as if she was distracted.
She then walked over to the cylinder Ulrich and odd not far behind. "Shouldn't we say something that sounds important right now?" Odd wondered out loud. Ulrich and Sasha looked over at him.
"Yah how about this, good bye and good riddance Xana!" With that Sasha placed her hand on one of the prints and slipped the key into the hole. Nothing happened.
"Odd place your hand down," Sasha commented felling kinda annoyed that he didn't do it on his own. "Oh right," Odd said.
Odd placed his hand down and a bright light erupted from around the hand prints and filled the room. The cylinder split down the middle with a crack and even more light pored out from it.
As if darkness had been hiding just outside the walls it seemed to seep up through the floor in a wispy ghost like form. All three warriors watched as the darkness was absorbed into the cylinder. It seemed to keep coming several minutes passed and the smoke like substance was still appearing from all round them and being absorbed into the cylinder.
Then all at once it stopped coming and the cylinder sealed back up with a bang. With this bang came a flash of light as brief and as bright as a flash of lightning.
As the burst of light came and left the three warriors were pushed back by an invisible force.
One by one the teens opened their eyes. "Ouch," Odd muttered as he sat up rubbing his head.
"I agree whole heartedly," Sasha stated as she too pushed herself into a sitting position. Ulrich didn't say anything he just groaned.
"I better get my key," Sasha pushed herself up to her feet and she walked over to the cylinder. With each step she took little ripples of light came to be, in fact her whole body seemed to glow a little now that Xana was gone.
Her hands gripped around the handle of the key. With a tug she lifted it out of its hole.
As if she activated a switch of some kind each of them started to devertualize.
Only one more chapter left… scary thought. Yay for slight Odd Sasha fluff! And more fluff to come in the next chapter so that's something to look forward to.
Anyway hope you liked it and leave a review on your way out because they make me ever so happy.
