Sanne lies on her bed staring at the ceiling. She had been there for two days planning. She wants a Xana free world. After that she didn't know but she wanted a world free from Xana. "If I kill him I can live out my life here, maybe. But there are worlds without him. If there are an infinite amount of worlds out there then there are some worlds without Xana." Sanne sighs. "I'll make it one more world without Xana." She sits up and gets off the bed. "But I have to do it alone. Maybe connect with my powers from my world or something. I have to find the power."
Sanne goes for a walk in the woods to clear her head.
Xana watches and is worried. He knew the dangerous Sanne was back and he had to strike. He activates a Tower.
Sanne is unaware as she left her Jpocket and Jcell behind. She keeps walking through the woods.
A mosquito is flying when a black mist attacks it. The Mosquito grows until it is the size of a medium dog.
Sanne hears a loud buzzing noise and turns to see the possessed Mosquito. "Xana!" Sanne turns and runs away.
Dante calls Sanne, no answer. He calls Skitz. "Xana's attacking and I can't get a hold of Sanne."
"I'll try." They hang up and Skitz calls but Sanne doesn't answer. "Please be ok Sanne." Skitz takes off for the Factory.
Dante calls the others and they hurry to the Factory.
Sanne runs through the woods with the possessed Mosquito chasing after her. She sees the Hermitage and runs for it. "Samantha please open the door!" Sanne gets to it and tries to open the door to find it locked. "Open the door!" She pounds on the door as the Mosquito gets closer.
The Lyoko Warriors make it to the Factory easily. This worries Skitz even more as Dante sends her to Lyoko.
Sanne runs to the entrance to the sewers at the Hermitage and runs in. She slams the door behind her keeping the possessed Mosquito from following her.
Dante and the others are on Lyoko in the Desert Sector. "We aren't that far away." He controls the Overwing.
"I can see it already." Krieger, controlling the Overbike, takes the lead. "This should be easy."
Sanne runs through the sewers hoping Xana wouldn't posses anything else. She had to get to the Factory.
The black mist leaves the mosquito and goes into the sewers. As it flies through it finds a rat and possesses it. The rat grows to the size of a German Shepard.
The Lyoko Warriors get to the Tower easily but meet Xana's guards. Two Tarantulas and a Mega Tank. "Xana's going all out for this." Skitz is even more nervous as she gets out her spear.
"Well we'll make him learn that it doesn't matter what he sends we're still better than he is." Ark crouches down ready to strike.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Krieger pulls out his Zanbatou.
"That means don't do anything that comes into that pea brain of yours!" Skitz yells at her brother.
"Got you Sis." Ark takes off for the Mega Tank.
"Be careful!" Sis dives on the Overboard at a Tarantula.
"Dante stay back." Krieger charges forward at a Tarantula.
Sanne makes it to the end of the sewer passage but is stopped. "Um, nice dog?" She backs away from the possessed rat. "Ugly dog, but nice dog? Um, want a treat?" The rat crouches down ready to attack. "Aaaa!" Sanne turns to run away when the rat leaps on her back.
Sanne struggles with the rat. It bites her and scratches her. "Help!" She struggles with it more.
Ark runs around the Mega Tank. "It got smarter." Ark's usual plan wasn't working. He stops behind a Tarantula but the Mega Tank doesn't shoot at him. "New plan." He runs at the Mega Tank.
"Aaaa!" Sanne rolls over and throws the rat off of her back. It lands in the sewer water and struggles to swim. "Ow, ow." Sanne is bleeding but ignores it as she goes to the ladder.
On Lyoko the Warriors are struggling. "Xana did something to his monsters. They're a hell of a low smarter." Krieger blocks lasers
"But not invincible." Ark runs straight at the Mega Tank. It opens and charges a blast. "Now Skitz!"
"Got it!" Skitz throws her spear at the Mega Tank. The Mega Tank fires. The spear lands in the Sector and blocks the blast as Ark runs around it and strikes the Mega Tank. He runs back to the spear as the Mega Tank explodes and grabs it.
"Catch!" He throws it up to his sister just in time. A Tarantula focuses on her and she blocks the lasers.
Sanne gets to the Control Room and starts up the auto Transfer. She takes the elevator down to the Scanner Room and steps into the middle Scanner. "Frak it now is the time to end this." The doors close.
Sanne lands in Sector 5. "Xana!" She looks around. "Come on Xana I want to fight you! One on one!" She starts down a hallway.
The other Lyoko Warriors are turning the tide. Ark runs around a Tarantula as Skitz flies around on the Overboard in the opposite direction. They confuse it and get closer.
Sanne sees the switch and hits it. "Come on Xana I'm serious!" She closes her eyes and starts to focus on her energy. It was getting much stronger than before. "Another world must have merged or more." She feels her energy spark around her. "Come on Xana!" She walks farther looking for Xana.
Ark strikes the Tarantula's arm. It roars and backs away. Skitz dives down and strikes it on the Eye with her spear destroying it.
Krieger dives under the last Tarantula and cuts an arm off. He swings around and cuts a back leg off. The Tarantula falls over and Krieger swings his Zanbatou aiming for the neck. "Dante, deactivate the Tower." Dante goes into the activated Tower.
Sanne sees a black mist form into Xana. "About time coward." Sanne steps forward as her wings form behind her.
"I will destroy you." Xana sparks with energy.
"Try it. No Towers or monsters or other Lyoko Warriors. Just you and I one on one to the death." Sanne sparks with more energy. Her eyes start to glow with a pink energy.
"I will take your body as my own and kill the others." Sanne laughs. "What have I said that is humorous?"
"Kill them. There are an infinite amount of them, and you. It would be like picking up five grains of sand from a beach." Sanne focuses her energy into her right hand and forms an energy orb.
Dante deactivates the Tower and goes back to the control panel. "An auto transfer was done. Sanne is on Lyoko." He tries to send her back but something blocks it. "I need to go back to Earth." He sends himself back to Earth and goes to the Control Room.
Sanne and Xana circle each other when Dante's voice booms. "Sanne what are you doing?!"
"Shut up Dante! I know what I'm doing!" Sanne throws the energy orb at Xana. Xana uses his energy to block.
"But Sanne you're at risk we'll be able," Sanne cuts him off.
"Shut up! Xana if they interfere I'll help you send them back." Sanne focuses on her energy again into her right hand.
"Sanne you can't do this." Dante brings up the transporter. "Krieger, Ark, Skitz, something's wrong you need to get to Sector 5. The edge of the Sector is to the east." The Lyoko Warriors take off.
Sanne and Xana take off into the air. Sanne's wings spark with energy making her faster. "I will destroy you!" Sanne dives at Xana.
"You will do nothing! I am Xana, master of Lyoko and you are naught but an annoyance to I!" Xana's energy grows around him forming a shield.
"Have to hide huh? Well I don't!" Sanne punches against the energy shield trying to break through it.
"I'm not hiding I'm just preparing my victory!" Xana explodes with energy knocking Sanne backwards.
She feels some of the energy enter her. "You're trying to corrupt me, frak." Some of her feathers turn black. "But it made me stronger!" Sanne fires an energy beam at Xana who dodges it.
The Lyoko Warriors make it to the edge and take the transporter to Sector 5. "She already got the switch just hurry!" Dante watches on the map.
Sanne punches Xana hard in the chest trying to get an orb. Xana backs away and energy sparks over his wound. "I am not that stupid."
"But you are that weak!" Sanne dives at Xana again and grapples with him.
Dante leads the Lyoko Warriors through the Sector. "Go left at the next turn and run as fast as you can you're almost there!" Dante panics as he sees Sanne lose health points.
"Frak." Sanne backs off. "That actually hurt."
"Of course." Xana laughs evilly as his energy spreads around him.
"I'll hurt you more." Sanne's energy spreads around her. The two energies warp the room.
"Um, Dante," The Lyoko Warriors stare at a wall. "This is a dead end."
"No it isn't, the door was just there!" Dante checks the map again. "It was there I swear it was."
"Well it's not there now what do we do?" Skitz is scared for Sanne and desperate to get to her.
"I don't know."
Sanne dodges Xana's next attack and punches him in the back. She feels an orb and grabs it ripping it out of him. "Mine!" More feathers turn black as the orb sparks dark energy in her hand.
"No, give that back!" Xana tries to grab it from Sanne but she backs away quickly. "That is mine!"
"It's mine!" Sanne shoves the energy orb into her chest.
Dante sees her health points return and go above one hundred. "Sanne what did you do? That's impossible!"
"Anything is possible!" Sanne laughs with a dark tone. "I will destroy Xana now and forever!" Sanne dives at Xana tackling him.
"No!" Xana struggles with Sanne and throws her off. "I will take you!" Xana sparks with energy.
"Yeah right." Sanne sparks with energy. "Die!" More feathers turn black as she attacks Xana.
The Lyoko Warriors run through Sector 5 trying to find a way in. "Dante is there any thing on the map?"
"No, not yet."
Sanne slashes Xana across the face blinding him. As he backs off she charges her fist and punches him in the chest grabbing another orb. She rips it out of his chest. "No, give it back it's mine!"
"This orb is mine." Sanne flies away. "No, don't use it." She feels the dark energy ebb in her hand. "But I want it!" She squeezes it and feels the energy enter through her hand. "No!" She looks around. "I need the Digital Sea to destroy this." She flies around the room looking for an exit.
"Sanne, can you hear me still?"
"Yes! I have an orb but can't destroy it without the Digital Sea!"
"I'll send you the transporter." Dante brings it up. "Get ready Sanne."
"I'm ready." Sanne sees the transporter appear.
"I won't let you get away!" Xana has recovered from Sanne's last attack and goes to attack her but she dives into the transporter.
The transporter appears near the edge of the Ice Sector. Sanne flies out of it and sees the Digital Sea. She throws the orb as hard as she can and it lands in the Digital Sea. It sparks as a black mass forms across the Digital Sea. "One more orb to go." Sanne's wings turn completely black. "And it will be mine!" She hears energy sparking and turns around to see Xana.
"It will be after I have taken you as my host!" Xana attacks Sanne and both nearly land in the Digital Sea.
"You will die!" Sanne charges energy through her chest and starts to glow. Her feathers explode surrounding her.
"What kind of trick is this!?" Xana goes to break through the feathers but his hand is nearly shredded by them.
"This is not a trick." Sanne sends the feathers at Xana. Xana is ripped apart by the feathers.
"No, I can not die!" He tried to turn into a black mist but can't. The feathers rip through his chest and his last orb flies out.
"I want it." Sanne starts to fly down then stops. "No, it ends here!" She struggles against the corruption. The evil wanted that orb but she knew she could become even worse than Xana if she used it.
"No!" Xana's energy explodes knocking the feathers back. "I will live." He attacks Sanne in a last ditch effort to posses her.
"No, you will not take me Xana I would rather die than have you win!" Sanne dives towards the Digital Sea.
"Sanne!" Dante sees her on the map. "Don't do it!"
"I have to!" Sanne sees her reflection in the Digital Sea. Her hair was pure black. Her eyes were black. The evil was inside of her and she would destroy it once and for all. "Goodbye everyone." She takes the plunge.
Sanne finds herself in nothingness. "Hello?" Her voice echoes. "Is this death? Afterlife?" She sees glowing orbs far off in the distance. "No, I've been here before. I know this place."
Then you know what you must do Sanne.
"Who are you? What are you? And what do I have to do?"
Choose Sanne. You have destroyed Xana twice. But you have failed in the end. One time the evil lived on to posses another and the second time you were forced to kill yourself.
"I did it though. I killed him! What else am I supposed to do?" She hears a deep booming laugh.
Live. Destroy the evil and continue. You are special Sanne and are needed to go and destroy Xana.
"But, but, I, what if I don't want to?"
Then go to a Xana free world. It is your choice. Go to a world where Xana was never created. But beware of unforeseen consequences.
"It is my choice? I can go any where I want?"
Yes.
"I, I don't know." Sanne sees the orbs off in the distance. She could go to a world free from Xana. She could live a peaceful life. Go to school, date, fall in love, get married, children, and a normal life. She wouldn't have to worry about being killed or her friends dying. She could do a lot. "What do I do?"
Anything you want. Make the choice.
"What if I can't choose?"
Then you will remain here until you do.
"I, I don't know." She could live with out danger. She could live a normal life. "I've decided."
Very good. I will send you then I must be off. Mr. Freeman is needed elsewhere. A white orb flies at Sanne slamming into her.
"Whoa." Sanne looks around. "Kadic Academy?" It looked like the campus but was different. She reaches into her pockets for her Jpocket but can't find it. When she pulls her cell phone out she is even more confused. "This isn't a Jcell."
"Aelita!" Sanne looks around.
"My mom's here?"
"Aelita, what's up?" Sanne feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns around and sees Odd.
"Wow you look a lot younger. Wait." Sanne goes pale.
"Younger? I did shave." Odd rubs his face.
"Um, Odd, what's my name?"
"Aelita Stones, why?"
"I um, no reason." Sanne looks around more. This was Kadic Academy. It was Kadic Academy years before she was born.
"Are you ok? Maybe we should go to the Infirmary."
"No Odd I'm fine. Um, just, I need to find Jeremie."
"He's probably at the Factory." Sanne nods.
"Of course, fighting Xana."
A/N Ah, saved it for the end. Did she choose a Xana free world or one with Xana, made you wait it out to find out. So, what is going on? Is this Sanne's fate? Was she destined to fight Xana forever? We will find out…
