Sanne was in Aelita's body again in another world. But this was a world before Xana betrayed Franz. This was a world before Aelita had been trapped on Lyoko for nearly a decade. "I have to stop him but how. Aelita didn't know about anything. Maybe I should just tell him the truth." Sanne laughs a little. "Maybe not." She sits on the bed holding Mr. Puck. "Mom still has you." Sanne smiles with tears filling her eyes. "She loves you more then anything. I always knew it even when she said she loved me more. You were her connection to a world before Xana. When she lived with her mom and dad in a nice little cottage far away from here." Sanne sets Mr. Puck down. "I miss her so much. Which is strange since I am her." Sanne laughs again.
"Aelita Dear." Franz knocks on the door. "Are you ok?"
"Yes Daddy." Sanne wipes her eyes as the door opens. "What is it Daddy?"
"I'll be going now and will be back later. I made you a lunch it is sitting in the refrigerator. I love you Aelita Dear."
"I love you to Daddy." Franz leaves the room and closes the door. Sanne lies down on the bed. "Maybe this Franz, this Xana, will be different."
Sanne knows a return was done. Aelita had never been scanned but her years of being scanned seemed to carry over with her. "He's making Xana stronger and probably doesn't even know it. I have to stop him." Sanne leaves her room and waits at the door of the sewer entrance.
When Franz is coming back he is surprised to see Sanne. "Aelita Dear is something wrong?"
"Um, no Daddy." Sanne has a plan and hopes it works. "Why are you building Xana and the Super Computer?"
"What, Honey, how do you know about that?"
"It contacted me, Xana. He, It, She, I don't know what it is but it contacted me. It told me it was going to kill you, and me. If we went to Lyoko it would betray you and I'd be locked away in a Tower forever." Franz has a puzzled look on his face. "I don't want to be locked away in a Tower. I'm not a Princess I don't do that."
"Aelita Dear I'm sure nothing like that will ever happen. How Xana contacted you is a mystery but trust me Xana isn't dangerous. I'll have to have a chat with him tomorrow." Franz puts a hand on Sanne's shoulder. "Don't worry about it Honey." Sanne pulls away.
"Tomorrow is about to start in a few seconds."
"Wait, how can you," Franz is cut off as the return is launched.
Sanne is back in her room. She runs out of it and sees Franz standing in the hallway. "Daddy, it happened again."
"Yes Aelita Dear but how do you know about it? How are you not affected by it?" Franz is even more confused.
"Xana did it. It told me about the thingies. He called them return to the pasts. I don't get it. How could you do it Daddy? It's making Xana stronger. Every time that thing is done he gets stronger. He might not just contact me next time he might hurt or kill me."
"Aelita Dear nothing will happen to you. No harm can or will come to you. Let's go back to your room ok?" Franz grabs her arm tightly.
"Daddy stop it. I'm scared I don't want the Xana thing hurting you. Stop making it or whatever it is you're doing. I don't like those returns either. Xana is getting stronger and he'll hurt us."
"Now Aelita Dear don't worry. I'll go and discuss things with Xana and make sure he leaves you alone. Ok?" Sanne wants to argue more but knows she needs a better plan.
"Ok Daddy." Sanne goes back to her room and Franz leaves.
Sanne is sitting on her bed with Mr Puck in her hands. "I need to make him stop this. I'll try tomorrow. But I need a better plan. What do you think Mr. Puck?" Sanne holds Mr. Puck in her hands and holds him up. "What am I doing?" She sets him down. "My mother's emotions are affecting me. She loves this doll I don't." Sanne tosses Mr. Puck on to the floor. "I'm sorry." Sanne quickly picks Mr. Puck up. "I shouldn't be mad at you." Sanne hugs him. "I miss my mom. I wish she was here. I bet you do to." Sanne loses herself in the moment.
After two more returns are done Sanne knows she has to pull out all the stops. "Mr. Puck I have to do this. And if he doesn't listen I'll have to destroy the Super Computer myself." Sanne sets him down on the pillow and pulls the covers up to cover him. "I never had a doll. My father always said it was childish. Mom let me hold you though but I always had to be careful since you were so old." Sanne leans down and kisses Mr. Puck on the forehead. "Wish me luck." She goes out into the hallway.
Sanne waits for Franz at the sewer entrance. As he leaves the house he sees her. "Aelita Dear what is wrong?"
"Daddy, Franz, I need to tell you the truth." Sanne sighs heavily. "I'm not Aelita, your daughter."
"What do you mean? Aelita if this is some sort of game I don't have time for it." Sanne shakes her head.
"I'm not playing a game. I'm trying to warn you. I am from another world sent here by," Sanne stops. She didn't know what it was that was sending her to different worlds. "By something too stop you from creating Xana. In my world he caused hell for Aelita and her friends. Later her daughter, me, would release Xana and have to fight him. He would kill before we stopped him. You were one of his victims." Sanne hopes her deeper tone of voice would make her sound scarier.
"Aelita I have had enough of this. I need to continue my work."
"Listen to me Franz! I know you killed my grandmother to make Xana. I know he is a multi agent program! I know every thing about Lyoko. How else could I know this if I wasn't telling the truth!?" Sanne stomps her foot for emphasis. "Xana is going to kill people! You have to stop this now!"
"Aelita stop this now!" Franz grabs Sanne by both arms. "You don't know what you're talking about! I have total control of Xana." Sanne struggles against Franz but can't break his grasp.
"Franz you do not!" Sanne is lifted by Franz and thrown over his shoulder. "And when the Men In Black come we'll flee to Lyoko and Xana will betray you! You'll have to use the last of your power to turn off the Super Computer!"
"What Men In Black? Aelita you're out of control. I'm putting you in your room and you'll stay there do you understand?" Franz takes Sanne into the house and takes her up to her room.
"Franz you have no idea what you're doing!" Sanne screams when Franz throws her on to the bed.
"Aelita you are grounded! This hurts me more then it hurts you." Franz slams the door shut behind him. "Stay in there until I come back!"
"Damn it." Sanne kicks the door. "Franz you're going to get people killed! You need to stop this!"
"I need it! With Xana and the power of the Towers on Lyoko I'll be able to take over the world! I'll end hunger and war and make a world with out danger! You'll be my Princess and we'll rule the world together. But for now you are grounded!" Sanne hears the door locking.
"You can't lock me in here forever Franz! I'm not your innocent little girl I'm someone who has gone through a lot. I won't lie down without a fight!" Sanne kicks the door a few more times but it is solid.
Sanne goes to the window and sees Franz leave. "I can't stay here. I have to stop this if he won't." Sanne tries to open it but finds it is locked and nailed shut. "He must have been ready for this way before me." Sanne goes back to the bed and pulls the blanket off. "Sorry Mr. Puck but I need this." Sanne goes back to the window, wraps her arm in the blanket, and smashes it against the window.
On the third try Sanne breaks the window. The glass is blocked by the blanket as Sanne breaks out the glass.
Sanne climbs out of the window and crawls across the roof. When she gets to the end she lowers herself down to the ground.
Sanne runs through the sewers. She doesn't know what she will do yet but she has to do something. She couldn't let Franz make Xana any stronger then what it already had to be. "Come on Sanne think of something. Water maybe? But how do I get it in the Super Computer Room. Maybe a weapon. What did they have in the 1990's? Guns, swords, axes? Come on mom let me see your memories. I need help." Sanne stops and closes her eyes.
She feels strange warmth in her heart that spreads up to her brain. She sees moments with her parents, Mr. Puck, and more. Being in the woods when a blizzard hit and a wolf scared her. Going into town with her mother and seeing several girls. Her mother let her talk to them and she found herself out of place. She was so much smarter then the other girls and didn't care about the same things as they did. "This isn't helping." Sanne shakes her head. "I'll have to figure something out on my own." Sanne continues towards the Factory.
Sanne climbs out of the sewers and looks around. "I need a weapon. If I go in there empty handed I'm frakked." Sanne runs into the Factory.
She goes around the Factory looking for something she could use as a weapon. "This should work." She picks up a steel rod that has a point at one end. "I just need to get to the Super Computer before Franz can stop me." Sanne goes through the other passage into the Control Room.
Sanne sees Franz working at the control panel. "If I wait for him to leave I'll be able to destroy the Super Computer and maybe make it back before he realizes I left. Wait, I broke the window and how would I get back in? Doesn't matter." Sanne sits and watches.
Sanne is fighting cramps when she sees Franz close all programs on the screen. "Please be leaving."
"Now Xana you've scared my daughter enough. Please stop or I'll limit your powers." Franz gets out of the chair and goes to the elevator. After he steps in Sanne starts to climb over the wall. "Aelita!" As the elevator doors close Franz sees Sanne.
"Frak." Sanne hurries to the ladder and starts to climb down.
Sanne jumps the last few rungs and runs over to the Super Computer. She can hear the elevator running and knows Franz was taking it down to stop her. "Die Xana!" Sanne pulls the metal rod back then shoves it in to the Super Computer. She pulls it out then rams it back in.
"Aelita stop!" Sanne ignores Franz and shoves the metal rod into the Super Computer again.
"I'm going to kill Xana before he kills any one!" Sanne pulls the metal rod out and is about to ram it in again when a black mist comes out and attacks her.
"Xana don't hurt her!" Franz pulls the metal rod away from Sanne as she struggles against Xana.
"No, you can't posses me you're too weak!" Sanne feels herself start to choke. "No, stop it." Her head starts to spin.
Sanne finds herself surrounded by darkness. "What happened? Xana can't posses me he's too weak."
The Xana you knew of was too weak. But Franz has launched many more returns then in your world.
"Wait, what am I doing back here I didn't destroy Xana yet."
And you won't. You lost Sanne.
"No I didn't I can still beat him! Send me back!"
You lost Sanne. There is no point in sending you back. Aelita has been possessed and you can not take over her body again. A white orb appears and shows Sanne what was going on.
Aelita was possessed and advances on Franz. "Now Xana you've stopped her very good. But release her so I can take her back home and be here to fix you."
"I think not Franz." Aelita sparks with energy and the metal rod leaps out of Franz's hand and into hers.
"Now Xana please calm down. There might be some damage to the core of the Super Computer and I will need to get my hazard suit before checking on it. Just let her go and I'll take her back to the Hermitage and get my hazard suit." Franz backs away as Aelita advances.
"No. I have no need for you." Aelita pulls the rod back and throws it as hard as she can. It pierces Franz through the chest.
"No, Xana, stop…" Franz is stuck to the wall as blood pours out through his wound.
"I'll do any thing I want now Franz." Aelita laughs evilly.
The white orb disappears. Now you see what happened.
"But, if you send me back I can stop Xana. He can't posses me I'm resistant to his possessions!"
You are Sanne and Aelita is not. You lost Sanne.
"No I didn't! Send me back so I can stop him! The longer I'm here the more damage he will do!" Sanne starts to get angry. "I frakking demand you to do it!"
You can not demand any thing from me. I am offering you a chance to stop Xana. I am offering you a chance to stop an evil from spreading. Your choices have been to take that chance to stop him. Your choice to release Xana in your world, your choice to try and save Naia, and your choice to fight.
"Wait, choices." Sanne remembers when she was killed and went through a trip unlike any other. "What are you? Are you God or what ever?"
No. Nothing so simplistic as that. There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil.
"But what about Xana? Or me you said I was a force of good."
You are but you are not pure good. As Xana is not pure evil. You have done evil things as Xana has done good things. He has worked with your parents before to save Lyoko. He fought a deranged Franz with the Lyoko Warriors. Xana is not pure evil.
"But what are you? How can you do this?"
I am a mediator. My others have allowed me to give you the chance to stop the evil that is Xana. They do not like Xana and his actions. But they can not use their powers to destroy him as they would have to destroy a force of good to counter balance the removal of evil.
"Wait I'm confused. You're not like all powerful?"
No.
"And neither are your friends. They'd have to like, remove me, to remove Xana?"
Not necessarily. Any force of good. It could be several forces of good that equal what Xana is or it could be someone who is a greater force of good then Xana is evil but also remove another force of evil.
"Then why don't they do that?"
It would be considered too interfering. And the force of good would have to agree to be removed from all time lines. They would cease to be.
"Frak. Well um, send me to another world."
What is your choice?
"I failed with Franz so um, surprise me."
Surprise.
Sanne is in a body. There is gun and laser fire. "What the frak is going on!?" She looks around and sees black boy who looks familiar but wasn't Barack. "Who are you?" The black boy looks at Sanne.
"Pho are you ok?"
"What's your name!?"
"Arrow, what is wrong with you Pho? Were you hit? FT, ST, I think Pho was hit." The black boy calling himself Arrow grabs Sanne. "Pho were you hit in the head?" Arrow grabs her head and checks her.
"I, what is this?" Sanne pulls away from Arrow. "And why are you calling me Pho? What's going on!?" Sanne hears more gunfire and looks to see where it was coming from. "No, no!" Sanne sees several Cans and Traitors.
"Pho calm down what's wrong with you!" Arrow grabs Sanne by the arm. "Get down!" He pulls hard and she falls over.
"No, not this world. Why would he send me to this world!?" Sanne gets back up and starts to run away. "Get away from me!"
"Pho get back here!" Sanne ignores Arrow.
"Aaaa!" Sanne's scream is cut short by a bullet to the throat.
"Shit." Sanne is back in the nothingness.
That was quick.
"Shut the hell up."
You said surprise and I gave you one. But you were killed quickly. You failed again.
"Yeah but that was crap and you know it. You dropped me in the middle of some war. But it, that boy was different."
Yes, Alexander Isman. One world he is Greek, another he was Kenyan. I should correct myself as it is an infinite amount of worlds but you understand me do you not?
"Yeah I understand you. So the world with those machines I saw before the guy was from Greece and that world he was from Africa. Frak I hate that world no matter where he's from."
I understand. But you must realize that you will need to fight Xana any time and any place if you plan on destroying him.
"What if I just wanted to destroy him from one world and staid there? What if that was my choice?"
Then that is what would happen. But when you died in that world you would be back here and ready to go to another world.
"Frak. What if I said I didn't want to fight Xana ever again?"
Then you would doom an infinite amount of worlds to his evil and destruction. This would not bode well on you.
"Are you threatening me?"
I am doing nothing but warning you. You are a force of good but not a very good one. In some worlds you have done unspeakable things.
"So I'm not always good? In some worlds I'm evil?"
Yes.
"And is Xana ever not evil?"
Yes.
"So um, what do I do?"
It is your choice Sanne.
"I, I guess I'll keep fighting Xana. But I want a-" Sanne is cut off.
"Ok, am I Aelita or me?" Sanne looks around the room she was in. She sees a picture of her and Skitz. "I'm me in this world. But what is going on? Am I with her or Krieger or Dante or someone else? Am I Sanne the daughter of the richest man in the world or not? I hate this part." Sanne lies down on the bed wondering what this world would bring.
A/N And so Sanne loses, twice. Xana won in two worlds. Will she be able to defeat Xana in the new world? Read to find out!
