I was glad to be back. It was strange but it was my world, kind of. Zen was a member now and wanted to train so we were. "This is so cool." She creates a blue orb and throws it at the ground. A blue circle appears. She creates a red orb and throws it at a chunk of ice. A red circle appears. She jumps into the blue circle and flies out of the red circle.
"Yes it is but we need to figure out if it is any good. Can you destroy a monster with that?"
"Sure, maybe." Zen looks around. "If she sent one we could find out."
"She is probably watching us." Sanne is nervous. They had been there for close to an hour and nothing happened.
"We could go before she attacks." Dante was also nervous. They were just asking for a Naia attack.
"Fine I'll go into a Tower and send everyone back." Sanne goes into the Way Tower and uses the control panel to send everyone back to Earth then sends herself.
Sanne and the others go back to Kadic Academy as Naia plans her attack. She was looking through the Vatican. Maybe a holy item could be used to transport her to another world. She was getting desperate. "What is this?" She sees three urns. She goes to them and sees three words.
ACIDO GHIACCIO FUOCO
"I hate Italian". Naia sparks with energy and opens the urns. There is a different colored ash in each one. Red, blue, and green. "I can feel it, feel them. They captured demons? Very interesting." Naia activates a Tower.
Sanne almost throws her Jpocket out the nearest window in frustration. "Frakking Naia. Waits for us to come here before she attacks."
"I'm ready!" Zen leaps off of the exercise bike.
"Calm down Zen." Krieger gets off of the exercise bike. "We better hurry before the attack gets to us."
"Whatever it is." Sanne and the other two take off while calling the others.
Dante hears the Super Scan beep. "Naia, why are you attacking?" He gets his Jcell out and tries to call Sanne but her phone is busy. "She must be calling the others." He puts his phone away.
"What do you think the attack will be?" Skitz looks over his shoulder.
"I don't know. I just hope the others make it here before the attack is completed." Dante crosses his fingers.
A blue mist appears and forms into a demon. It is tall and thin. Around it the moisture in the air freezes creating an aura of ice. The sewer water freezes.
A red mist appears and forms into a demon. It has a shifting form like fire. It doesn't walk but floats across the ground leaving a trail of burnt Earth behind it.
A green mist appears and a large bloated demon forms. From its mouth and many sores on its body oozes acid. As it drips onto the concrete of the bridge it slowly melts through it.
Barack and Mira see a red light near the sewer entrance. When they get closer they see the demon. "What the frak is that?" Barack gets between Mira and whatever it was at the entrance. It moves towards them. "Run."
"Barack you can't fight it." They see a tree burst into flames as it gets near them. "We have to run."
"You go first." Barack pushes Mira and she starts to run. He waits a couple seconds then runs after her. He wanted to be behind her so he would be the first one to be attacked.
Sanne, Krieger, and Zen are in the sewers when they feel a chill. As they go around a corner they see ice in the sewers. "Sanne, Zen, get behind me." Krieger tries to protect the two but Zen gets around him.
"I'm not hiding behind you." Zen is ready for a fight. There is a loud cracking noise and they see a crack appear in the ice. A blue mist comes out and forms into the demon. "Cool."
"Frozen."
"Same dif." Zen gets in a fighting stance.
"A brave one. There were many brave ones in my time. They fought me and my brethren. Many died."
"Whatever. Let's see if you got some moves."
"Zen stop we don't know what he can do." Krieger and Sanne want to keep going but Zen wanted to fight.
"You two run you won't need me I bet." Zen does some boxer footwork. "Ding ding."
"I am not to fight you. I am to take the pink haired one."
"Well you have to fight me first." Zen runs and leaps off the edge of the sewer walkway. She kicks the demon in the chest then falls to the ice below. She slips and falls on her back.
"They had holy weapons from the hand of angels. You are nothing." He blows air at Zen and her feet are frozen to the ice.
"Bastard." Zen struggles to break her feet free.
"I was." He turns to Krieger and Sanne. "You are to come with me."
"Why? What are you going to do to me?" Sanne is scared but wants to help Krieger and Zen.
"I am going to freeze you. A type of, what did she say, Cairo genetic?" Sanne laughs.
"Cryogenic freezing. She must be trying to send me to another world. If that's all she wants I'll come."
"Sanne don't." Krieger grabs her arm but she pulls it free.
"I hate the other worlds but I'm not going to let you or Zen get killed. She doesn't want me to die. She needs me to go to another world." Sanne steps forward and a black mist appears.
"Hello tramp." Naia smiles. "You agree to join my experiment?"
"Yes just leave my friends alone."
"I will not touch them."
"Sanne don't do this. You might die."
"I need her. I won't let her die." Naia touches Sanne and both turn into black mists and disappear.
"Well, you heard her."
"She will not touch you. She never said anything about me." The ice demon attacks Krieger freezing him to the wall. He turns into a blue mist and follows Naia and Sanne.
Barack and Mira run through the streets. The fire demon didn't chase after them. "Naia didn't want it to hurt others."
"She might not want to hurt us." Mira had thoughts, ideas, and memories in her head that weren't hers. Well they were but not. They were from this world's Mira. One of the merged worlds's Mira's. She had been captured by Naia and tortured. She didn't break. She talked to Naia and had gotten to know her. This gave her hope that there was still Naia Cawasaki in there. A girl who loved Dante. A girl who wasn't evil or corrupted. But when the merging happened the Mira disappeared and she took her place. She worried what would happen the next time a world merged.
"Could have fooled me." Barack and Mira keep running.
Krieger shivers as he struggles. He feels his strength leave as the ice saps him of his heat.
Zen is numb, more then numb. She was getting frostbite sitting on the ice.
Sanne is in a freezer with Naia and the ice demon. "Let's get this over with Naia." Sanne shivers.
"Don't resist." Naia turns into a black mist and attacks Sanne. She struggles, it was a natural reaction. But the ice demon breathes on her and as her body temperature drops she stops resisting. Ice forms around her. She feels the world slip away. Ice forms over her eyes blinding her.
Sanne and Naia are surrounded by darkness. "That was easy." Naia sees several light orbs in the distance.
"How do we go? Can we choose?"
"You're the world traveler. Which world do you want to go to? Maybe if you concentrate you can choose."
"I want my world."
"Go to another. I want to go to another."
"Um, which one?"
"Any, you choose." Sanne thinks and concentrates on a world she knew would make Naia happy.
Zen breaks one foot free then the other. They are nearly black. "Frak that hurts." She can't stand up.
"Zen get off the ice." Krieger had noticed it but doubts Zen had. The ice was melting. Both what held him to the wall and the sewers.
"Kind of hard to do right now."
"Then wait a minute I'll be free soon." Krieger struggles feeling ice water soak his clothes as the ice melts.
Barack and Mira make it to the Factory and see another demon, the acid demon. "Ok that's ugly." Barack feels warmth from behind and sees the fire demon form in the air.
"We're surrounded." Barack starts to sweat. Not from the heat but from the situation. "The fire monster probably can't get us if we're in the water."
"But what about the other one?" Mira sees something ooze out of its sores. It drops to the bridge and she sees it burn through.
"I don't know." Barack moves towards the river edge. "Get ready to jump." Barack grabs her hand.
"Whoa." Sanne appears in a world. But she wasn't in control.
"Wait, this, I'm in control." The body moves. The head moves and the eyes look at the hands. The skin was dark. "You went to my world. I gave you a choice and you went to my world."
"Yes Naia. I wanted to make you happy."
"Why?"
"Because. Please Naia I don't see you as an enemy. Just surrender so we can save you."
"No. There is nothing to save me from." Naia walks through the house until she finds a door with her name on it. She enters it. "My room if I was normal." She sees pictures of her at the beach. "I've never been to the beach and been able to swim." She is wearing a two piece bikini in the pictures. "I've always had to wear long sleeved shirts and jeans."
"I'm sorry."
"Can you see my memories?"
"I, yes I'm starting to." Memories come to Naia and me. She went to a normal school as a normal person. A couple crushes, some friends, life. Her parents never had to move. She could do anything a normal person could. She never had to go to the hospital with severe sun burns. She never had to deal with skin cancer at the age of twelve.
"Can I stay here forever? As long as you're frozen I might be able to stay here." Naia goes to a mirror on her dresser and looks in it. She smiles, the reflection smiles back. "I look, wow."
"Amazing." I was just as excited as Naia. She looked great. And as more memories come I see more of her life. Some things were different but this was still Naia. Maybe I could use one to free her without having to merge with her.
Krieger is finally free from the ice and helps Zen off of the ice. "Can you crawl?" Zen nods.
"Yeah, sure. Frak my feet." Zen starts to crawl down the sewer passage.
Barack and Mira leap into the river. The fire demon doesn't chase after them. The acid demon goes to the edge of the bridge. "Frak what is it doing?" The acid demon makes several loud moans then acid spews out of its mouth. The acid spills into the river. The water starts to boil as the fire demon gets close. They would either be boiled alive or melt with the acid if they didn't get out.
Naia is excited about this world. She was normal and had a normal life. She didn't know what to do first and was running around the backyard in a bathing suit just to feel the rays of the sun on her skin. Sanne remains quiet hoping this experience will make Naia want to change.
Barack and Mira climb out of the river and the fire demon moves to attack them. Barack waits for it to get close before pulling his shirt off and throwing it at the demon. Even soaking wet when it gets close it bursts into flames. "That didn't work." Barack gets between Mira and the fire demon. "Please leave us alone we don't want to fight you!"
"That is none of my problem." The fire demon gets closer.
"Leave them alone!" The fire demon turns and sees Krieger and Zen.
"More of you."
"Mine." The acid monster spews acid out of its mouth. The bridge starts to melt. "You must cross me to get to the Factory."
"Barack, take flamer there I'll handle pus boy." Krieger looks at Zen. "You and Mira have to get across."
"We'll try." Zen was still crawling. Her feet had been too badly frozen.
Naia hears a car pull up into the driveway of the house. She runs from the back of the house to the front. "Mom!"
"Naia what are you doing?" Samantha gets out of the car and sees her daughter running around in a bikini.
"Enjoying the sun! Isn't it amazing?"
"Um, yes. Naia it is only about ten Celsius out you're get sick."
"No I won't! I love this house! This is so great!"
"What are you on? Damn it Naia I know Sophie was busted with some Zoner I didn't think you'd do that."
"I'm not on anything I'm just so happy to be normal!" Naia runs over and hugs Samantha. "When's dad coming home?"
"Naia, you, what's wrong with you!?" Samantha's tone scares Naia and Sanne. Naia backs away.
"Nothing, why?"
"Just tell me! What did you take and who did you get it from!" Samantha grabs Naia. "Zoner? Happy? Exotica? What did you take?"
"Nothing! I'm just so happy to be here at this house and out in the sun. When's dad getting home?" Samantha smacks Naia.
"What are you on!? How could you bring up that, he," Naia sees a tear form in Samantha's eye. It is then when memories flood her. William had been killed less then a month ago in a car accident.
"I'm so sorry Naia." Sanne is stunned. In Naia's world, the one where she had albinism her father was alive. In this world she was normal but she had lost her father. "I'm sorry."
"No, no." Naia starts to cry.
"I'm sorry honey I didn't mean to hit you." Samantha hugs Naia. "Just tell me what you took. I won't be mad. I, I want to forget it happened to." Samantha rocks Naia back and forth in her arms.
Zen and Mira make it across the bridge as Barack and Krieger distract the demons. They go down to the Control Room. "Where are the others?"
"Krieger and Barack are fighting the attack. Mira looks down at Zen. "She's hurt bad."
"Sanne?"
"Didn't see her."
"Go down I'll send you. I already sent Skitz and the vehicles." Mira and Zen get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. They get in the Scanners. "Transfer Mira, Transfer Zen, Scanner Mira, Scanner Zen, and virtualization." Zen and Mira land on Lyoko near Skitz. Soon Dante lands.
"Where do we go?" Skitz is on the Overboard ready to go.
"East." Dante gets on the Overbike as Mira and Zen get on the Overwing. He revs the engine and takes off.
Krieger and Barack turn and run. The demons don't chase after them.
Naia is lead into the house by Samantha. "I, I swear I'm not anything. I, I don't know what to say."
"Naia please don't lie to me."
"I'm not. I swear mom."
"I, then what was it?"
"I took a nap. When I woke up I felt really good. I had to go out and dance and stuff I don't know why it just was this thing I had to do."
"Naia you're a horrible liar." Sanne agrees but doesn't say anything.
"Then you know I'm not lying about the drugs. You know I wouldn't do that stuff. Even after what happened."
"Then what was it honey? I'm worried."
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"I will if it's the truth. I always know when you lie."
"Well, um," Naia thinks about it.
"Don't Naia she'll think you've lost it." Sanne decides it for her.
"I'm an all powerful being from another world. Not another planet but like another timeline or whatever. My partner tore a hole in the space time continuum and since then another person has been able to travel…" Naia continues the story just to do the opposite of what Sanne said.
Dante and the others see the activated Tower but no monsters. "She's doing it again."
"Maybe. This time there may be a trap."
"Um, you're supposed to go in there aren't you?" Zen wants to fight but if there was no one to fight she wanted to get it over with.
"Except Naia didn't send any monsters. It's a trap like last time." Mira gets her Kodachi out.
"Or it's a trick. How long did I stay out of the Tower? Sanne could be in danger this time." Dante gets his wand out.
"If we lose you she's really frakked." Mira goes to the activated Tower and gets off of the Overwing. "I won't let you in."
"I'll go in first." Skitz hovers near the activated Tower on the Overboard. "If I don't come back out you'll know it was a trap." Skitz leaps off of the Overboard and goes in.
"And now I'm here in a body that is normal. That's why I was outside dancing under the sun. I could never do that in my world with my albinism. Well I could now because of my powers but I would have to activate a Tower to do so and they would think I was attacking."
"Wait, who would think you were attacking?"
"The Lyoko Warriors. You used to be one and so was dad. Your memories were wiped by Odd and his friends."
"Odd? Why, I haven't talked or seen him…" Samantha trails off. "How did you know about Odd?"
"Odd, Sandra, Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi. Then there was you and William Dunbar. But once they locked Xana away they launched a return that wiped your memory."
"But, that's crazy. Naia that's insane."
"Yes it is but all true."
"It can't be."
"Then how do I know about them? Or dad's original last name?"
"I, I don't know." Samantha puts a hand over her heart. "I can't believe you aren't lying but I can tell when you do."
"Then you know I'm not."
"It's coming."
"No, it can't!"
"What can't?" Samantha is confused as Naia starts to panic.
"No, I'm going back to my world. I love you mom. No matter what world I'm in I love you."
"I, I'll always love you." Naia blinks and she is back in Sector 5.
Sanne finds herself in her room. "A return was launched. I, I'm sorry Naia. If I knew how to let you go to that world without me I'd do anything I could." Sanne curls into a ball and hugs her legs. "Maybe that's the solution. She wants that, a normal life. Maybe we can give her that world." Sanne starts to come up with ideas as Naia goes to Earth.
Naia is at the top of the Eiffel Tower. She uses her powers to make herself invisible. But tourists hear the sound of a girl crying, weeping.
A/N Confusing no? World's merging, and going from regular style to first person and back again. Why? Because I could. Just mixing it up. But really I didn't like it, don't think I'll mix it up again. But maybe I will, IDK yet. I already wrote the other episodes but I always go back over them, change this, tweak that, so forth.
