the new team was gathered in a perspective line , staring down a huge metal orb . james tried not to sound panicked " megatank " , ken and the others scattered and began attacking . the school could see it all , their friends were fighting this thing . they were too fearful to lend a hand , james who wasn't much of a fighter was hiding the best he could while still getting a veiw of the action . ken chimed " how are we gonna fight this thing , its not like we have weapons . everyone however continued their attempts at defeating the creature . silvia and angel were both winded but still managed their little quip " ok little sis you ready to rock " . angel awnsered " lets kick it up some and rock his socks " . they launched a duel kick with little effect , asura added " that was kinda pointless " . a voice from behind him spoke " but sometimes pointlessness is the point " , everyone looked shocked to see the headmaster there " get outta here you have no idea what your dealing with " . mill smirked " just get to a safe area and watch , i was quite the fighter back in my day " . the young ones did as told and hid with james , who had a good veiw of the battle yet was safe from stray shots . james spoke softly " whats mr. firestraka gonna do .. this is a mega fuckin tank and we couldn't scratch it " . mill put on his game face and removed his formal jacket " ok you hunk of junk let see if i still got it " , the older man launched a swift attack breaking its metal shell and piercing its weak point . in one strike mill had done what five people could not , he drew his hand back and smirked still putting his jacket back on " geez either the team is weak , or that asshat x.a.n.a is slipping " . james walked up to him shocked " you know about xana " , the older man nodded " yes i do .. you might want to get to the factory or the whole school will know about xana " .
- the day ended up repeating itself in the end .. minus the xana attack -
james decided to see mr. firestraka alone " so it was you that got this group together , and showed us how to find out about the past team .. why " . mill let his hair down it was longer than assumed at first " because you 5 have the bloodline skills of the original team , even ashura " . james pondered why asura was considered differently and got a blunt awnser " his father was a lyoko warrior for two battles , one he almost got us all killed , and in the second he gave his life to save samantha .. ashuras mother .. but it was in vain " . james looked afraid " does ashura know " , mill nodded " he was told by his adopted family long ago .. tis why he asked them to change his last name back to what it should be " . james nodded " but why arent they on the records " , mill let out a tear " because their information was erased , the memories were far too painful for jeremy i guess .. to know that 2 close friends gave their lives .. that they had a 2 year old child when it went down " . james sat down " yea that would be hurtful .. my parents are always too busy these days " , mill nodded " i know that , and with my recent return they were sure to have noticed that xana must have returned also " . james sighed " your song had underlying themes about a certain monster " . mill's eyes darted around " damn it all your smarter than i give you credit for " , james gave an agreeing nod " indeed could you tell me what you know then " .
mill agreed " sure you need all the help you can get , what im wondering is how your deactivating towers without aelita " . james awnsered bluntly " so my mom was the lyoko princess .. we recovered the keys asap and use a program we made from them to deactivate the towers .. we rarely have to fight xana " . mill sighed " damn back then fighting his monsters was the most fun part of saving the world " . james awnsered with an angry stare " you call staring down a gaint steel bowling ball fun " . mill smiled " indeed i do now xana is going to be sending a lot more monsters to earth since you figured that out , so talk to mr stern in the dojo about training to fight you know who .. trust me your all gonna need it " .
james nodded " what about you , are you going to assist us again " . mill gave him a short nod " only if you need it , im not a young man anymore " . james left soon after and headed to his dorm , the headmaster was preparing to head to his quarters when he heard a knock on the door , a secret knock of sorts . and knowing the gathering that was about to occur he tied his hair back " its open " . a large group of people walked in looking at mill , jeremy was the first to speak " ok what the hell is going on , we thought you were dead " . mill sat down and made a motion for everyone to sit as well " is it really that obvious who i am " . jeremy nodded " um duh .. i mean the w-fire is right in your damn name .. i may be aging but im not senile " . mill let out a sigh and walked into another room " i shall return " , and he did but in a different outfit . he now had his medium length hair set free , with a black longlseeve and blue denim pants , heavy black boots completed the outfit . " heres the situation were dealing with , hes back " , the group already knew that so it wasn't that shocking . sissi was almost in tears " i thought you were .. and now .. im so confused " . angel snapped at him " she almost died of grief " , mill was almost in tears " yes i know that , truth be told i did die " . everyone looked shocked , he continued " jeremy and aelita's little one is smarter than i am .. he flips one switch the wrong way and alters the freakin time stream , so that yea you remember me kickin the bucket but it never happened '' . they all had a serious look for a second then he finished his explanation " i mean its not like i could walk into the home of my family and say look yall i died but im still here .. you woulda thought i was haunting your asses '' . sissi snapped " like finding it out this way is any better i was so alone " , angel knew that wasn't an insult she hadnt been much help as she loved him too . mill straightened his hair , his face with a burn mark on it , sissi realised it was there " if what your saying is true why are you burnt still " . mill awnsered " your memory must be slipping , that burn occurred during the fight less than a year before my death .. he only altered the timeline so that xana never launched his final assult " . everyone nodded , odd ever the jokester finnaly managed to say something like odd for the first time in a long time " man i remember that day well .. cause it was the day they bake pies at the highschool " . everyone managed a cheap laugh , mill smiled " man odd welcome back .. how long you been emotionaly dead " . odd sighed " since william and sam " , jeremy cringed " please stop before i get all mopey .. they were good people you know .. and i miss them enough without it being brought up every 10 seconds " . mill sighed " jeremy we havent talked about it in 13 and 1/2 years , its time to let it go ok " . jeremy snapped angrily " just like your over silvia .. " , mills eyes widened " oh yea so true .. but atleast i somewhat got over it and moved on " . jeremy sighed " true , im sorry im just really tense .. max here fired my sorry ass " , max muttered " cause you refused to repair me .. now look at me i cant even walk right " . mill sighed " max is too young to have those kinds of issues jeremy .. i dont own any of the stock anymore so i have no say in this " . max nodded " damn right you dont " , mill checked his nails " but then again who says i dont have enough money for a hostile takeover " . everyone looked at him for a second , it was odd who quiped " last i heard you left all your money with sissi and angel " . mill laughed " like id really keep a bank balance ending in an odd number .. 45 trillion heh " . odds eyes bugged out with dollar signs in them " wowies " , mill nodded " i kept one trillion in my will to the name of mill w firestraka .. who just happened to have all the correct id's and matching sig " . sissi stood up and was about to choke him " why would you make us believe you died .. its not like you havent cheated death like 9 thousand times already " .
mill nodded " one difference from all those times .. you saw my body there .. being carried off by an ambulance , every last one of you remembers me being put into the ground .. how am i gonna cheat death when im 6 feet under " . they all agreed , now instead of being choked he was being hugged . mill stroked her hair gently " its all right now im here " , she broke down tears flowing from her eyes . it was too good to be true , her eyes shot open and she sat up from bed .. seeing her teenage lover next to her . she thought quietly " was it all a dream , a simple nightmare .. or perhaps a vision of my future " .
( that may very well be my greatest twist ever .. remember back to they spent the night together .. well growing up till hs and the kids adventures thusfar was her dream that night .. or was it a dream .. i know your hating me so loud right now )
