Chapter 5: Saving a Life

"Mannie get the hell out of there and get some sense in your head! You belong on Earth with us! We'll find a way to make this work. You were born on Earth so you belong here with us!" Odd yelled into the microphone.

"Odd, don't you understand, there's no way you can change my mind. I've made it up. I'll save the world and you all can move on with your lives. No worrying about Lyoko or anything." Mannie walked closer to William who was holding his sword out pointing it toward her stomach. Odd shook his head.

"Jeremy try to override her disabling of the virtualization process. I have to get in there and save her, I'm not letting her die like this!" He ran towards the ladder to get to the virtualization room, jumped down and ran to the Virtualizers. Jeremy was speedily typing away at his computer.

In Lyoko, Mannie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 'This is what's right for everyone, isn't it? Odd will be able to move on with no problem…the world will be saved, and never have to worry about a XANA attack for everyone. This is definitely what's best. No questions asked.' She walked forward more and felt the point of William's sword poke her flat stomach. 'Never to be married…have kids, go to college, have a family…' Williams gaze from her shifted as he saw a figure running towards them, and he gasped.

Yumi, Ulrich, Aelita, and Avril all ran into the Supercomputer Room.

"Jeremy, what the heck is going on?" Avril asked him, and he frowned in response.

"Mannie turned back on Lyoko, because apparently we all forgot her existence when it was off, she went in, disabled the virtualizing process, and now she's trying to turn off Lyoko from the inside. I'm trying to override the disabling so Odd can go in and help her…Oh my God, Odd hurry! Mickey's in Lyoko!"

"What? How did she get in there…awww what the hell! Mannie, damn it!" Odd banged his hand on the virtualizer in frustration and fell to his knees. 'I'm not gonna be able to save her…am I? Is this really the end…? Odd closed his eyes tight and his the virtualizers a couple more times. He stood up and nodded to himself, climbed up the ladder and ran to the supercomputer.

"Mannie don't do this, please! I love you!" Odd blurted out. Some smiled, some gasped, but everyone already knew. Mannie opened her eyes in surprise, turned around expecting to see him, but was met by a different familiar face running her direction. She gasped in surprise.

"Odd…" She whispered as three ninja stars collided with her body. One directly at her heart, one at the other side of her chest, and the last into her stomach, which was enough force to send her body into Williams' sword. She gasped in pain, squinting her eyes, trying to pull herself off, but William shoved the sword through to the other side of the body. Jeremy saw her life-points depleting fiercely and started typing as fast as he could. He saw the words 'virtualization override' in green on his main screen.

"Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, GO." He said quickly. The three ran and jumped down, and went through the virtualization process as fast as they could.

"Jeremy where are they? We're in the arctic area." Yumi said.

"Fuck, they're on the other side of the map, sending in vehicles now." Ulrich's and Odd's vehicles appeared next to them, and Odd was already racing off.

'Mannie I'm coming.' He zoomed to her as fast as he could. Meanwhile, Aelita and Avril virtualized themselves and were soon on their way as well. He saw three figures standing in the distance and his board got a sudden burst of energy. He sent three darts to the figure standing on the outside, a.k.a Mickey. He saw William pick Mannie up and run with her. Ulrich and Yumi weren't far behind him so he zoomed past Mickey who ran after him at a very high speed and she threw her darts at him, but thankfully they missed. Odd caught up to William and shot some arrows at him, which hit his feet and made him fall over.

"Mannie!" Odd jumped off his overboard and ran at William. He picked up Mannie who had a big hole through her stomach. He winced and jumped back on his hoverboard. He looked over and saw Aelita flying next to him. She nodded as they flew to the nearest tower.

"You two should just give up. You won't win. Mannie is ours now. Her soul is already gone. It doesn't matter what you do now." Mikaela gave an evil smile as she pushed Ulrich's sword back.

"What do you mean? You can't lose your soul on Lyoko unless you actually die on Earth." Yumi looked at her and threw one of her fans. Mikaela caught it in her hands and broke it, making it disappear, then laughed.

"You all don't seem to understand XANA's power. He's been playing with all of you this whole time. Mannie put the block on the virtualizers, because she knew if you came in with her, you would die too. The process of turning off Lyoko has already started. You all are doomed, and the only person who could help you, Mannie, is dead." Mikaela shook her head, laughing once more and used her hand knives to strike both Yumi and Ulrich swiftly. They both looked at each other and fought to their death with the red headed beauty.

"Odd it's useless of you to try and bring her back. She's dead." William spoke to him in monotone, following him not far behind.

"She's not. I can feel it, she's still here." Odd turned his hoverboard around to look at William.

"Just give her to me so we can finish what she started. She wanted Lyoko to be turned off, well it's going to happen whether you comply or not. If you let me have her, I will let you and your friends go, you all can live." It was a tempting offer to Odd, but he would not waiver. His mind was made up.

"No…we're all a team, a family. If she dies, we all die too." He looked at Aelita and she nodded.

"Odd no! Don't!" Jeremy yelled from behind the computer, frustrated he was stuck there and couldn't do anything… Suddenly a light went off in his head, as he got an idea.

Suddenly a red light flashed over the whole world of Lyoko and everyone looked up.

"Jeremy, what's going on?" Yumi asked him.

"You'll see." He sat back in his chair and smiled.

" No…way…" Mikaela looked up and shook her head. "How did he…? Impossible…" She turned around and sped towards where Odd, Mannie, William, and Aelita all were.

"Oh hell no you don't!" Avril jumped down from the sky and started running after Mickey.

William, Odd, and Aelita all looked up at the sky at the same time wondering what was going on. Odd's hoverboard floated down to the ground. He looked around questioningly, and saw a man about forty years old standing next to him. He grabbed Mannie from Odd's hands and started walking with her to the tower.

"No! Xavier get back here! You're ruining everything!" William ran up to him and raised his sword over the man's head. Xavier swiftly turned around, looked William in the eye, stuck his hand out, and sent William flying back, then he continued on.

"Jeremy, who is that?" Odd asked, staring the man down as he took Mannie from him.

"Xavier Narako. Mannie's Dad." He whispered.
