Chapter 4 Fighting to Save Aelita
A.N. – This chapter is dedicated to Reaper 797 for the plot of this episode. This idea was submitted back around The Rise of Anti-Xana and I thought that this monster replaces my original idea perfectly. So none of these ideas are mine, just the way it is written. So let's introduce the Seeker!
Josh Xana – Maybe in the network graveyard chapter. Remember, she's not allowed to work on the supercomputer. So unless Jeremy really needs her, she must stay away from it.
Short Summary – When Jeremy discovers a strange signal in the Mountain Sector, he sends the warriors to investigate. When they arrive they find a capsule attached to a mountain. Aelita opens it and all are immediately attacked by the Seeker. It tries to capture her to bring her back to the network graveyard, but is hurt and flies away, leaving the warriors stumped.
Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show. The Seeker is owned by Reaper 797.
In the Lab
Jeremy is working in the lab trying to decode the rest of the data from their trip to Sector 5. He may now be able to send them into the network graveyard, but what Anti-Xana and Xana's plans may be is unknown. Little does he know, Xana and Anti-Xana are planning something right now.
Network Graveyard
"Time for my monster to make itself known" Anti-Xana said as he put the inactive Seeker in a capsule. "When this capsule opens you'll do my bidding." He launches the capsule to the Mountain Sector. The capsule attaches itself to a nearby mountain and the Seeker waits its awaking.
In the Lab
The superscan goes off and giving not an activated tower alert, but a strange signal alert.
"What is this?" Jeremy says as he tries to scan the signal but gets an error message. "What do you mean signal unknown!? Okay time to do this manually." He phones up Aelita. "Aelita, get the others and head for the factory. Message William. We might need him."
Later
Aelita and the others, including Laura, arrive at the factory. "Okay get down to the scanners. You're headed to the mountains." They all headed down the elevator and entered the scanners. They are all virtualized and land near the signal. "The signal source is straight ahead. Be on the lookout for nasty surprises."
Mountain Sector
The warriors search around for the source of the mysterious signal and are finding nothing. Odd searches around a mountain and sees something mysterious. "Hey, I found something!" Odd said and the rest of the warriors headed over to him.
"What is it?" Ulrich said.
"Looks like a capsule" Aelita said.
"Like what they store stuff in?"
"That's a time capsule. But any capsule could work for one."
"Well let's open it" Ulrich said as he tried to open the capsule. "Ow!" he said as the capsule shocked him.
"Let me try" Aelita said as she easily unlocks it. "Don't tell me this is another thing from Tyron or my father."
As she opens it they hear this strange sound that gives them, including Aelita, a headache.
"Ah, what is that horrible sound?" Yumi said before they were all thrown against the wall.
"What's happening?" Aelita said.
"I don't know princess, but it's not good" Odd said.
"Can anyone move?" Ulrich said.
"No, I think were all stuck" Yumi said.
"Yeah, but by what?" William said.
The Seeker steps out of the capsule.
"I think we just found out" Aelita says as the Seeker approaches them.
The Seeker has technological implants all over its body and has a special cybernetic eyepiece that has the combined symbols symbol. The rest of the body and is covered by a skin tight suit. It also has three fingered, thin black hands. The Seeker is also flexible so it can stretch its hands behind it allowing it fly easily.
The Seeker continues to use its telekinesis to hold the Lyoko Warriors against the wall and scans all of them. It scans William first, but is not a match due to gender. It scans Yumi next; it's a match on gender, but not hair color and is scanned as a negative. It scans Ulrich and again is thrown away due to gender. Next is Odd who is disregarded due to gender. Finally, it scanned Aelita. The gender and hair color is a perfect match. The scan concludes as target acquired. Anti-Xana speaks to it.
"Capture her and return to me at once."
The Seeker pulls Aelita away from the wall and pulls her towards him and tries to capture her.
"Aelita! We have to save her!" Yumi said.
"You mind telling us how!?" Ulrich said still unable to move.
As Aelita moved closer to the Seeker she noticed the capsule was damaged and the Seeker was standing next to it. Aelita used her powers to increase the sparks that capsule was giving off. She succeeded and hi the Seeker allowing it to drop her and screech. It also released the other warriors as well. They all rallied by Aelita ready to destroy it. The capsule was still damaged and continued to harm the Seeker. He took flight and levitated several rocks around him. He knows that he cannot fight them all at this moment. So he lets out another screech and flies away with the rocks still surrounding it.
"What the hell was that?" Ulrich said.
"I don't know, but it has Yumi's telekinetic abilities" Aelita said. She walked over to the capsule. "Jeremy, can you scan the capsule that this new monster was in?"
"Maybe hold on a second" Jeremy said as he tried to scan the capsule. He was able to scan it successfully and received all the data. "Okay, I got the data. I'll bring you back now." Jeremy successfully rematerialized all of them and they all headed to the lab to see what this new monster was.
In the Lab
The warriors headed up to lab to check on the data.
"So what did you find?" Aelita said.
"According to the data, it seems this monster could be more organic, then mechanical" Jeremy said.
"Which means he was made" Yumi said.
"Exactly, and I'm willing to bet he came from the network graveyard. Right Jeremy?" Laura asked.
"Exactly, but I want to know who made him first and why now" Jeremy said.
"I guess we don't have to answer the question of why me. I'm the guardian and they need me" Aelita said.
"I guess our new objective to protect Aelita at all costs. We can't let them touch her. She is their only way to escape."
"What do we call this new menace?" Odd said.
"I thought you gave the monsters their ridiculous names" Ulrich said.
"Okay, since he seeked out Aelita, let's call it the Seeker."
"Okay then, we must protect Aelita from this new monster, the Seeker" Jeremy said. And with that the Lyoko warriors retreated back to the safe house.
Network Graveyard
"You're new monster was a complete failure! I thought you said this thing was tough!" Xana said.
"It is! I just need to make some modifications to make it stronger and eventually Aelita will be here with us. Just you wait" Anti-Xana said.
Unknown Location
"These two better start getting along soon or they will make this mission much more complicated. The modifications better work. If not, I will make them suffer until Aelita is with them" the mysterious man said.
