Chapter 13: Is he gone?

--

Back at school…

--

I was developing a special missile in my room, Jeremy was working on the skid, Aelita was helping him, Ulrich was playing Fiva, Yumi was writing in her diary, and Odd was playing Code: Lyoko. Odd then turned off the game.

"Come on James, they're serving spaghetti and meatballs today!" Odd asked.

"The only thing you think about is food, huh Odd?" I asked.

Everyone, including Odd laughed.

--

"Hey, Aelita and I found a strange energy source coming from the net." Jeremy said.

"Are you sure it isn't anything of Einstein Jr.'s over here." Odd said.

Odd had given me the nickname of Einstein Jr because I was as smart as Jeremy.

"No Odd, that was the only tower I created." I told him.

"Ok, we'll go check it out then." Yumi said.

"I'll have to pass this time, I have to work on something." I said.

"Ok, you can wait with me in the computer lab." Jeremy said and they were on their way.

Digital sea

--

" The thing should be in front of you." Jeremy said.

"It's coming into view." Aelita said.

They saw something that they thought that they wouldn't ever find.

"IT'S XANA!" Aelita said.

"How do you know?" Jeremy asked.

"It's a giant XANA symbol." Odd said.

"Oh. That energy source must be where XANA went when he escaped…Uh oh." Jeremy said but couldn't finish.

"There's 1,000,000 piranha's coming out of it!!!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"WHAT! HOW ARE WE SPOCED TO FIGHT ALL OF THOSE???" Ulrich exclaimed.

The skipazoa then came out of the symbol and started attacking the skid. It latched on.

"We're losing power!" Aelita exclaimed.

I had finished my special missile and uploaded it to Lyoko by this time. The skipazoa had then gone back into the XANA symbol.

"We've lost all power! But we can still communicate." Aelita said.

"I guess this is our last battle." Odd said.

A news channel appeared on the supercomputer screen.

"All nuclear missiles in the world have suddenly launched and with all these missiles, it will be the end of everything!" A reporter panicked.

"Send me to Lyoko." I said.

"Ok James." Jeremy replied.

I then went down and stepped into the scanner.

"Scanner James, Transfer James, Virtualization." Jeremy said.

In my dry-dock

--

I walked up to my new missile that I had created downstairs.

"Listen to me carefully. I have developed a missile that will destroy XANA for good, get rid of all his monsters on Lyoko and the digital sea, and auto-pilot and give the skid energy to get back to dry-dock. Press the black circle on the keyboard and it will lock on to XANA. After, the keyboard will flip and a big black button will be there. Push it to release the missile, but Lyoko, even if you were to activate all the towers, doesn't have enough energy to activate the missile." I said.

Aelita pushed the black circle button and XANA was locked on.

"So how are you going to activate it?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm going to download my life force into it." I said.

"WHAT! THAT WILL KILL YOU!" Aelita exclaimed.

"I know, but it is the only way to save you guys, the world, and rid the world of XANA." I said walking over to a black circle.

"I won't let you do that!" Jeremy said reaching the keyboard to devirtualize me. I locked his screen.

"It's the only way. You know how stubborn I am, once I make up my mind I don't go back on it." I said.

"No, there has to be another way!" Odd yelled.

"No there is not. My life is nothing compared to your guys' and the worlds. You guys have been great friends." I said.

"Don't talk like that." Aelita exclaimed.

"Bye Aelita." I said stepping into the black circle.

"DOWNLOAD!" I yelled.

My life force had then been downloaded into the missile. As I said before, the keyboard flipped now and only a big black button appeared in front of her.

"Goodbye James." Aelita said crying and pushed the button.

The missile sped past them. Everyone watched as the missile went inside XANA. It exploded making XANA a black hole. It only sucked XANA's 1,000,000 piranhas. A black hole also appeared in each of the sectors, sucking all of XANA's monsters into it. Aelita and the others were directed back to dry-dock. Everyone knew that XANA was truly gone.

"Return to the past now." Jeremy replied.

They all ended up back at the computer lab, with the exception of James. Everyone was crying. My video that I had created just in case that situation would happen showed up on the screen.

"If you are watching this, that means I am dead and XANA is too. Don't worry about me, you guys should be celebrating, William should be down in the scanner room unxanafied, Lyoko can be used to play games because it's safe, Franz hopper should be there below too since XANA is gone, XANA isn't a threat anymore, and Aelita is out of the supercomputer. Now you guys can get on with your lives. Again, don't worry about me, I wasn't supposed to be part of your group anyways. Signing off once and for all, James." I had said and the video closed.

"William and my father are down there!?!" Aelita exclaimed. Everyone went downstairs.

"Aelita?" Franz said.

"DAD!" Aelita said hugging him.

"William's here too like James said." Yumi said.

"How did you get us out of XANA?" Franz asked.

"James sacrificed himself." Aelita said looking sad.

"Who's James?" Franz asked.

"The mastermind who got rid of XANA. I'm Jeremy. I freed Aelita from the supercomputer and worked on Aelita's so called anti-virus. I also created the skid. James created everything else." Jeremy replied.

"Thanks Jeremy for taking care of Aelita, you must love her. Where's James. I want to thank him." Franz said. Everyone got even sadder.

Everyone told Franz and William what had happened from the VERY beginning to James sacrificing himself. When they had finished, Jeremy saw a weird file on the computer.

"What's this? BatteryRecov.jcf?" Jeremy asked.
