Xana's Story
Chapter 5
It had been a few months since Riya's last attack and the team were worried about what she could be planning though most of the teams thoughts were that they could relax for a while
A new day began and Xana was walking around Lyoko thinking about what Riya had said during the battle Xana wondered if Riya had been telling the truth that when they deactivated the tower she went somewhere that she was afraid of Xana wondered if there would be a way to reason with her to make her join their team but he wasn't sure that he could
In the real world Andy and John had already made it to the cafeteria they were really hungry it seemed they had been worn out from the trip to Lyoko Grace and Kelly were still in their room this was because Kelly wouldn't get up so Grace was trying everything to get her to move
After about ten minutes and some yelling from Grace Kelly finally got up and both of them headed for the cafeteria seeing John and Andy were already there they joined them at the table
"hey guess what" Grace said with some excitement
"what"
"I'm even closer to materializing Xana"
"wow so you mean that Xana could be here soon on earth"
"yes if Riya stays low profile for a while he'll be ready to leave Lyoko and we can stop her for good"
"have you told him" Andy asked
"no not yet should we do it now class isn't for at least ten minutes"
The entire team left the cafeteria and headed for Grace's room Julie had been watching them she wondered what they were up to she had heard them talking about someone called Riya and Xana but she didn't know what they meant
When the team arrived the quickly sat down waiting for Grace to access Lyoko when she finally did Xana appeared but he didn't look cheerful
"hello guys what are you doing doesn't class start soon" Xana said trying to remember what Grace told him
"yes but we wanted to tell you that we are really close to materializing you on earth" Grace said
"then it's good bye Riya hello normal life" John said
Xana without skipping a beat immediately replied "no even if I'm materialized I want to keep Lyoko on"
"why" the entire team asked
"I believe that I can get Riya to be on our side and we can materialize her too" Xana said
"Riya keeps trying to kill you why do you think you could bring her over to our side" Kelly said
"it may be a while ago but during that last battle I saw something inside Riya that I hadn't seen before she was scared I believe she's doing this because she has too, not because she wants to" Xana said making a large amount of sense
A bell rang and the team knew they had to get to class now or they'd be in trouble Grace quickly disabled the Lyoko connection so that no one could stumble onto it and headed to class with the rest of the team
Inside Lyoko Riya was about to begin but first she would need some help she had to find someone who was already strong and could get to the team she stood in Lyoko then opened a portal and arrived in the real world and in the girls toilets when a girl came in pushing Riya out of the way and barely noticing her Riya knew that this person would be exactly what she wanted she just smiled as she turned into smoke and went inside the persons body
As Riya took control she only said one word which was "perfect"
In class everyone had arrived Grace was still uncomfortable with Julie sitting behind her even though the reason for Julie not liking her had never happened but strangely Julie seemed distant instead of her snobbish self she was quiet
A girl arrived late to class she appeared to be quite tired as if she had been running "sorry I'm late" the girl said taking a seat near Grace, Grace noticed Julie look up and stare directly at the girl
As the class began Grace heard two small bleeps indicating that a tower had been activated in Lyoko Grace only had to glance at the others and they knew as well but before she could say anything she heard a familiar voice
"I wouldn't go anywhere" the voice said
Grace recognised it immediately it was Riya she couldn't think where she could be speaking from but she sounded close at first she turned slightly look at Julie thinking it was her but Julie was still keeping quiet even when Grace looked at her
Then Grace realised where the voice was coming from she turned again this time facing the girl who arrived late "you'll miss the party if you do" Riya said looking at the girl Grace noticed she wasn't talking but she was looking towards her Grace was about to dismiss it until the girl's eyes changed from normal pupils to the symbol of Riya
"I'm speaking to you telepathically if you even dare think about going to Lyoko I'll kill someone in this room"
Grace was quite shocked and scared she saw the Riya flicker revealing her true form for a few seconds then turn back to normal no one seemed to notice but her the rest of the team was focusing on Grace waiting for her to go then they would follow but she wasn't moving
"Grace lets go" John whispered
Grace slowly pulled a piece of paper from her book and wrote on it slowly making sure Riya didn't notice and kept her mind off of what she was writing just in case Riya read her mind
Grace lent back and passed the note to John he took it and read it on the front it said do not think
Inside it, it read Riya is here she's sitting next to me she has taken over the body of the girl but be careful she can hear your thoughts pass this on too the others and get out of here and head to the factory
It took a few minutes for the letter to pass round to Kelly and Andy who nodded at John they knew it was from Grace each one slipped out John and Kelly asked to go to the bathroom while Andy asked to go to the infirmary
"clever, clever" Riya said smiling and laughing quietly
"did you know Xana wants to free you bring you to the real world but I think he's wrong especially now" Grace said
Riya laughed slightly again but then felt a sharp pain in her head she almost collapsed and fell off her chair the teacher quickly rushed to Riya (but he didn't know she was Riya)
"are you ok" the teacher asked
The girl groaned slightly what ever had happened was bad "I'll take her to the infirmary" Grace quickly said
"ok and check if Andy is there he's not come back yet"
Grace helped Riya up and carried her to the infirmary along the way Riya began to speak
"Grace were you telling the truth" Riya asked
"about what"
"what Xana said"
"yes we were all shocked"
"why would he want that I've done nothing but tried to destroy him"
"we don't know what Xana is thinking but he must have a reason" Grace said
The girls body slumped slightly as a strange purple mist disappeared as it came from the girls mouth Grace took her to the infirmary and quickly headed to the factory hoping to make it there before Riya reappeared in Lyoko
At the factory Andy, John and Kelly had already appeared in Lyoko with some help from Xana and had began running through the forest sector heading towards the tower "guys stop" Grace said down the head set
"why" Xana asked
"I think Riya might be coming to join our team if you see her hold back" Grace said
"ok but if she attacks we'll be forced to fight her" John asked
When the team arrived at the tower they saw Riya standing there her back was facing them she was looking up to the top of the tower though a strange thing was the colour of her body was entirely grey she turned to face the team and smiled
"it's good to meet you all" Riya said the entire team knew this was not the same Riya but a completely different version of her the team took a step forward but quickly jumped back as a large bolt of lightning hit Riya dead on the team watched as the colours began to change from grey to dark purple and a shining yellow she looked like an angel mixed with a demon a purple and yellow aura was surrounding her
"Riya" Xana asked
"yes but not your Riya" Riya said her eyes were now black she looked soulless and terrifying
So what will happen know Riya has gone off the deep end especially when she threatened to kill someone and now she is extremely dangerous
So get ready for the next chapter: Kelly's War
