"And as one hundred million angels sing I heard a voice in their midst, and I looked and behold a pale horse, and the name it said on him is death, and hell followed with him." Sanne wakes up in a cold sweat.
"Not again." She shakes her head. "I'm almost ready though. Just one or two more calculations and this fight will be over." Sanne lies back down in her bed.
The next morning Sanne skips classes and goes to the Factory. Sitting in the computer chair she has to deal with a slight distraction. "Get a room you two." Dante and Skitz were…
"This is our room." Skitz takes her tongue out of Dante's mouth and sticks it out at Sanne.
"I'm trying to work here."
"I offered to help Sanne." Sanne sighs.
"You said you'd delete it. Why do you think I changed the password?"
"This is too dangerous Sanne. Especially after taking Xana's orb. The evil could be too much for you." Dante gets off the cot and goes over to Sanne. "You could be killed or worse."
"And I'm willing to take the risk. We're this frakking close to stopping her and ending this war."
"I know but you could also be this close to giving Naia ultimate power and killing everyone." Dante puts a hand on Sanne's shoulder but she shrugs it off.
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"What, why, what?"
"If this works we'll be able to focus on separating the evil from us and then Naia and I. She'll be back, what then?" Sanne looks over at Skitz.
"Oh come on we're just having fun right Dante? Stuck together all day every day we just well, wanted some fun." Skitz smiles at Dante. "And I have to admit fun he is. Of course you know that."
"The merging has affected both of you." Sanne worries. Another merge could make them act even more different. She never would have thought Dante would do something like this with Skitz. But again the merging had affected him.
"It affected you too Sanne. You had no problem taking that orb. You wouldn't have done that before."
"I would have done it anyways." So I think. "Dante we will do this and we will end this." Sanne continues working. Dante and Skitz take a break.
Dante was wondering if the merging had affected him. Of course it did he never… But would he? Skitz was right there, good looking, they were together all the time. They got to know each other. Even without the merge would they have started doing stuff?
Naia is getting nervous. What if Sanne's program worked? If the program did was there a way she could use it to her benefit? Sanne had power, an orb, with it she'd be even more powerful. "Let's see what happens." Naia continues watching Sanne.
The next day Sanne skips classes again and does a trial run. "It works." She watches it run again. "It really works." She does another trial run. "I did it."
Dante and Skitz are coming back from a movie and are surprised to see Sanne. "What are you doing? Don't you have classes?"
"It works." Sanne points to the screen. Skitz doesn't understand what all the data means but Dante does.
"Sanne it works in a trial run but we don't know if it will work in real life." Dante is more nervous than ever.
"It will. I, we'll wait until tonight. This will take um, preparation." Sanne is even more nervous then Dante. She was putting her life on the line. The program worked but how would it end? Would it be a mix, would she be in control, or would Naia? Her pure energy should make the new person good no matter what but she still worries. She didn't want to lose herself. She didn't want to lose what she had. Her parents, Krieger, everything. But this merging could make her more Naia then Sanne or something completely new.
Sanne goes back to Kadic Academy. She goes to her room and lies down in bed. She gets her Jpocket out. "Um, this is my last entry, maybe." She laughs nervously. "I am ready to use the merging program I've been working on for months now. If it works I don't know if I'll be me, Naia, or something different. If I don't um, take control, I want you all to know I love you. Krieger, Skitz, Dante, even you Ark." Sanne laughs a little. "All of you. You're my friends, more then friends. Like family aren't we? Well, maybe not Krieger." Sanne smiles as she thinks of all the great times she's had with her friends. "Jim, show this to my parents if I'm not able to. I love you mom and dad, I'm sorry I let Xana out. But we did it, we beat him. I didn't have to rely on you, ruin your lives. Grandma…" Sanne continues her last video diary entry.
After classes Sanne and the others meet in the Control Room. "This is it. We will finally end this war."
"Sanne are you sure? We can wait a couple days."
"What for?"
"Because." Krieger holds her hand in his. "I, I don't want to lose you."
"You think I want to do this? If there was any other way I'd take it but frak there is no other way short of killing her." Sanne squeezes Krieger's hand in hers. "I'm scared as hell."
"I'm telling you Sanne we, you don't have to do this." Dante looks at the screen. "We can find another way."
"You've tried for months, longer. After the trip we made from 65million years ago we had even more time. There is no other way."
"Sanne please don't do this." Jim is near tears. "What do I say to your parents if you don't come back?"
"I left a message on my Jpocket." She pulls it out. "If anything goes wrong just play it." Sanne looks at the monitor. "The only thing I can't control is Naia. If she decides not to show up then we'll be doing this for nothing."
Naia is watching and has a plan. "Come to the spider." She laughs evilly as Sanne and the others get ready.
Dante sits at the control panel and sends the others to Lyoko. "Sanne, please, give me another month, another week."
"Just get ready to run the program." Sanne focuses on her energy. She feels the orb in her chest. She sparks with energy and soon her wings appear.
"Sanne, your wings." Krieger sees several black feathers.
"I know, I'm not worried about it."
"Activated Tower." Dante looks at the Super Scan. "Forest Sector."
"It doesn't matter." The Lyoko Warriors were in the Ice Sector.
"Oh really?" Naia appears. "The power from the Tower will allow me to crush you."
"I don't think so Naia." Sanne gets in a fighting stance. With her wings spread Krieger and the others are in awe.
"She, she looks like, wow." Krieger's jaw drops at the sight.
"Bring it Tramp. I will destroy you and take that orb." Naia flies at Sanne sparking with energy.
"I will save you Naia." Sanne takes off and flies at Naia sparking with energy.
Dante watches the screen. "I can't do it." His finger is over the enter key on the keyboard. "Sanne I can't do it."
"Yes you can!" Sanne dodges a punch from Naia and punches back. Naia backs off a little then fires an energy bolt at Sanne.
The others watch not sure what to do when three Tarantulas and a Mega Tank show up. "Let's get to work." Krieger gets his sword and shield out.
"This should be fun." Odd aims and fires laser arrows.
"I call the Mega Tank." Ark takes off on his disk and creates his spear.
"Dante do it!" Sanne slashes Naia across the chest.
"I won't do it Sanne it's too dangerous."
"Do it!" Sanne dodges an attack from Naia.
"Laser Arrow!" Odd fires and hits a Tarantula across the Eye destroying it. "Too easy." Odd was having fun.
"Watch this." Zen throws a red orb and it lands near the Mega Tank. She throws a blue orb at the ground near her. She jumps in it and appears out of the red portal. The Mega Tank opens and Zen throws another orb at it hitting it. The Mega Tank spins wildly then explodes.
"This is too easy." Jim looks around for more monsters.
"He's right." Naia backs away from Sanne then snaps her fingers. The ground shakes. "Come forth and destroy Degameath!"
"Frak, Dante do it!" Sanne attacks Naia as Degameath appears.
"I won't!" Dante takes the headset off and backs away from the Control Panel. "I won't risk both of you."
"Damn it!" Sanne dodges a strike from Naia. "One of you go back and start the program!" Sanne isn't fast enough this time and is hit across the chest. Knowing Naia was going for the orb she flies away.
"I won't do it." Jim prepares for Degameath. He was strong enough to block it from stomping on him. If he could only distract it that would be enough.
"I can't do it." Krieger was battling a Tarantula.
"Well frak what the frak are we supposed to do!?" Sanne recovers and attacks Naia again.
Dante sits in the Control Room. He picks Sanne's Jpocket up. "Her last message is on here." He finds it and plays it.
On Lyoko the first monsters were destroyed but now Blocks and Krabes were joining Degameath. "Damn it we can't fight them off forever." Ark is blocking lasers with his spear.
Sanne dodges an attack from Naia and uppercuts her. "Naia if Dante doesn't activate the program soon I'll kill you."
"You and what army?" Naia slices Sanne across the face. "I'm the one with the army!" Naia tries to slice Sanne in the eyes but misses.
"I don't need an army!" Sanne sparks with energy and moves so fast Naia is unable to block Sanne's attacks.
Dante listens to the end of the message. "She's ready to risk everything for us. I can't let her down." Dante goes back to the control panel and puts the headset on. "Sanne are you ready?"
"Yes!" Sanne backs away from Naia.
"It doesn't matter! My army will crush you all!" More monsters appear.
"Sanne, Naia, I love you." Dante starts the program.
"Aaaa!" The Lyoko Warriors scream in pain.
"Aaaa!" Naia screams in pain.
"What's going on? Guys, what's wrong?" Sanne hears the most beautiful singing she's ever heard. It was like "And as one hundred million angels sing. I'm hearing the angels singing but why aren't they?" Sanne sees her friends on the ground trying to cover their ears. The monsters are shaking, look like they're having seizures. Degameath roars out in pain and falls to the Sector below.
"Make it stop!" Naia gets Sanne's attention, barely. The singing was just so beautiful Sanne didn't want to stop but she remembered the next part of her dream.
"I heard a voice in their midst, and I looked and behold a pale horse." Sanne looks at Naia, someone who used to have Albinism. "But the next part, Ark isn't evil and we destroyed Xana."And the name it said on him is death, and hell followed with him." Sanne looks around and sees nothing.
"Sanne!" She looks over and sees Krieger pointing. She looks and sees a black mist trying to leave Naia.
"No, it can't be." Sanne shakes her head. "Why aren't we merging!?" The trial runs had worked, this had to work. "Wait, frak." Sanne runs at Naia as the black mist was almost free. Sanne reaches out and touches Naia.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Sanne's long scream broke through the singing. Her friends, the monsters, even Dante listening through the headset all collapsed. "No, no, what have I done?!" Sanne, Naia, float in the air. The black mist had gone into them. The evil was rising fast.
I have done it! It took me months but I have done it!
"Xana, no!" Saia sparks with energy. "You have finally taken me as a host!" Saia tries to tear a hole in her chest but she heals too fast.
I will unleash a hell on to the Earth and the Universe that will spread forever.
"No you won't Xana." Saia struggles to walk towards the nearest Tower. "Dante, delete me!" He doesn't respond as he was still passed out.
I have won. I am death incarnate.
"No you are going to be deleted!" Saia is near the Tower but Xana is taking control of her.
"Sanne…" Dante wakes up and struggles to get the headset back on. "Sanne what is going on?"
"Delete me!" Saia screams as her wings explode from her back. Every feather is black. "Xana was alive in Naia! He is going to take me as a host!"
"I, I can't delete you."
"Do it!"
"I can't! The program, there is something wrong."
"No!" Saia falls to her knees. She hadn't expected Xana. He was something she hadn't thought of and the program to delete her wouldn't work. "Lock me in the Tower." Saia crawls towards it. "Lock me away so I can't kill anyone!"
"I, yes Sanne." Dante feels tears fill his eyes as he goes through a folder looking for the program Jeremie used on him more then a decade ago.
Saia struggles but knows she won't make it. Xana's symbols are in her eyes. The one thing keeping her from complete takeover is the need to save the people she loved. She is only a few meters away but they feel like kilometers.
"What happened?" Krieger is the first on Lyoko to come to. He sits up and sees Saia crawling towards the Tower. "Sanne!" She doesn't respond. "Oh gods what happened to you?" He sees her hair is almost completely black. Her angelic wings belong to that of a demon now. Dark energy sparks around her.
"Krieger, get her into the Tower!" Dante has the program ready.
"Got it." Krieger runs over to Saia. "I'm here Sanne, come on." Krieger doesn't know that putting her in the Tower would doom her. He thought it was to save her. It was to save him and the rest of Earth. "Come on Sanne!" Krieger struggles as energy tries to push him away. He fights against it and is able to push Saia into the Tower. "I did it. Will she be ok?"
"Krieger, it isn't to save her." Dante starts the program.
"What do you mean?"
"Xana was hiding in Naia. He was taking over her. She, she has to be locked down or Xana will kill us. He will destroy Earth. He will take over the Universe and exterminate all life in it."
"But, no!" Krieger tries to get Saia out of the Tower but he can't enter it. "Let me in! I have to save her!"
"I'm sorry Krieger but it's locked down and only I know the password." Dante closes the program and puts it in a hidden file. Sanne's wish was to stop Xana, save Naia. She had stopped Xana but Naia, and her, were lost. Dante brings everyone back to Earth.
Dante goes down to the Super Computer Room. There was one last thing he had to do to end this. "Stop!" Dante turns and sees Krieger climbing down the ladder.
"I have to do this."
"I won't let you!" Krieger leaps off the ladder at Dante. Dante is fast enough to jump out of the way and Krieger lands hard on the floor.
"I'm sorry Krieger." Dante goes over to the lever. If he turned the Super Computer off then they will have won. They will have lost Sora, Naia, and Sanne but they will have won. He puts his hand on the lever.
"I'll kill you." Krieger struggles to get up but had broken his collar bone, dislocated a shoulder, and fractured his left femur in the fall.
"I'm sorry. I, I love Sanne, and Naia. I don't want to do this." Dante lowers the lever.
Sanne wakes up in the sewers. "No, what, what happened?" I don't know. She shakes her head. "Who's there?" Me, Naia. "But, no. He didn't launch a return. I would still be locked in the Tower." I don't think he launched a return. "Then what did he do?" I don't know. "Frak, this is bad." Sanne looks around. "Well we can't tell much from down here." Sanne runs to the nearest exit.
She climbs out and finds herself in the city. She runs over to a building and goes inside. What are you looking for? "A calendar or something." Sanne looks and finds one. "We're like a month ahead of where we were." So? "If, if they turned the Super Computer off I might not be like my mother or Dante." As in what? "They just like, went into a coma or whatever. I think we might be in another world." Oh, which one? The one you've been to? "Maybe. Let me call Skitz." Sanne gets her Jcell out and calls her.
"Hey babe where are you?"
"Um, at a store. I was just, uh, never mind."
"Oh you don't have to buy me anything it was my fault ok babe? I'm sorry I yelled at you."
"Um, yeah, ok." Sanne hangs up on Skitz. "This is it." Frak. How do we go back to our world? "We don't." Why not? "Xana, he, he took me as his host. We can't go back. We'd destroy that world." Then what do we do? "I, I won't mess things up for this Sanne. This is her world." So? "I'll just act like I'm her. Gah, going to be weird." Sanne sighs. "But it's my fault this happened. If I hadn't gone to the Factory none of this would have happened." And Dante would still be trapped on Lyoko. "And Sora would still be alive." Sanne leaves the store and walks the streets wondering just how she was going to adjust to her new life.
A/N And so Code Xana ends, and Code Xana Other World takes over. Right now Naia is in Sanne's head but will that last? You'll find out the next time this updates!
