Xana's Story
Chapter 6: Kelly's War
"get ready" John said making sure the team wasn't going to be surprised Andy nodded they both knew that they would strike first while Kelly and Xana headed for the tower even if it meant sending Riya back
"now" John shouted before Riya knew what happened John and Andy were running at Riya while Kelly and Xana had split off at the sides and had gone all the way around and were heading in the direction of the tower Riya tried to attack them but Andy made a large wall appear blocking Riya
"you make it through both of us then you can go after Xana" Andy said he was sure that both him and John couldn't be beaten
"challenge accepted" Riya said moving so quick Andy wasn't prepared as he got kicked from behind and was sent flying John jumped up stopping Andy from going to far
Andy stood back up and began concentrated on the floor as Riya landed preparing to attack Riya sank slightly and suddenly realised what Andy was doing he hand turned the ground into quicksand and was causing Riya to sink John felt the ground shake as several walls surrounded where the three of them were standing, Andy sank into one leaving John to face Riya who was now pulling her self out of the ground
John quickly pulled his sword out in front of him ready to fight Riya, Riya was even more furious than before and began running at John who continuously blocked, John noticed that the more he blocked the quicker his reactions Riya noticed this too and stepped up her attacks
John tried to hit Riya but with her two swords to his one she could easily block then attack "Andy any help would be good right now" John shouted hoping Andy could hear him, John saw Andy appear from a wall behind Riya he was still in the wall only his upper body was sticking out John charged at Riya causing her to move backward
Andy grabbed Riya keeping her from moving allowing John to strike Riya with his sword, John thought he'd done some serious damage but Riya just laughed the mark left by the sword disappeared Riya concentrated her energy and used it to blast Andy forcing him to let go
Riya charged at John almost knocking him through the wall Andy wasn't sure whether he should release the wall and help or keep it up and stop Riya from being able to escape though he remembered that Riya could open a hole and transport but she hadn't even tried to do that
Than Andy realised that Riya knew Kelly wouldn't make it and Xana wouldn't reach the tower Andy had been distracted for only a short few seconds and hadn't seen Riya destroy John all he saw when he looked at Riya was her bow and arrow pointed right at him then he was back in the scanner
In Lyoko Kelly and Xana were still a long way from the tower there hadn't been any monsters and Kelly was worried about that, Grace's voice was soon heard warning the two of them that five monsters were heading in their direction very quickly
Kelly stepped in front of Xana creating quills along her arms ready for anything
"Xana you may be able to help this time" Grace said
"how"
"well with some of the free time I've had I was able to create this" "hold out your hands"
Xana held out his hands and a long pole began to form on the end there was a long curved sharp blade "it's a scythe" Xana said
"it doesn't have any powers yet but you'll be able to fight any monsters that attack"
Xana spun the scythe round quickly showing some real skill even though he'd only just began using the weapon though both Kelly and Grace thought he was just showing off
A few seconds later the monsters that Grace had told them about had appeared and were still running quite fast they looked like raptors Kelly began making quills and launched them soon after, Xana ran forward and jumped in between them striking at them with his scythe it didn't do much until Xana's scythe plunged into the back of one of the raptors and made it explode
"there not so tough" Xana said not paying attention to another raptor behind him that smashed into the back of him "okay now I'm mad"
Xana got back up and jumped onto the back of the raptor that had smashed into him and began riding it like a horse and made it crash into other raptors, two of the raptors flew of the sides of Lyoko and went crashing into the digital sea while Kelly and Xana went one on one with the other raptors
Xana pulled the raptor to the ground and held it there while he struck it with his scythe Kelly blocked the raptor and kept it at bay she was slightly surprised when the raptor fired a laser from it's eyes but Kelly just dodged and smashed her arm into the back of the raptor
"good job" Grace said as Kelly and Xana started heading for the tower again
"Kelly bad news the guys have failed to stop Riya and she's heading your way" Grace said worrying about what would happen
No sooner had Grace finished warning Kelly than a hole in Lyoko appeared and with it Riya appeared Kelly stepped in front of Xana
"I'll attack you run" Kelly whispered quickly to Xana
Kelly ran forward diving at Riya and tackling her while Xana moved quickly and headed for the tower Kelly and Riya got back up and began to face off Riya charged in while Kelly just covered herself in quills to protect herself, it worked quite well since Riya couldn't do any damage Kelly grabbed Riya and with a burst of super hero like strength lifted her off the ground and threw her upwards
Kelly jumped after her and delivered continuous quills into Riya when Kelly felt the sudden energy wearing off she flipped around Riya so that she was above Riya and slammed her fist into Riya's stomach
Riya crashed into the floor with Kelly only a few centimetres away Grace had been watching an was really surprised she hadn't known Kelly for too long but she had never seemed like a person who would go suddenly develop a taste for violence
Grace then noticed a panel that had appeared on the screen it was connected to Kelly's status card (the thing that tells you the life points I couldn't think of the right name) it had three bars one of them was filled to the top above it said level 1 Grace wondered if it had something to do with Kelly's new attitude but she couldn't wonder right now she had to concentrate on the screen since she had to watch both Kelly and Xana
"what was that" both Kelly and Riya thought as Riya got back up
"all that power at once and how I used it that wasn't like me at all" Kelly thought
"so that's how you want to play then, fine" Riya shouted as she placed a large amount of her energy into her swords and charged at Kelly, Kelly managed to block a few times but she noticed that the quills she was using to defend herself were breaking no matter how many more she made they continued to break
Riya finally broke through and sent Kelly back to earth and then turned her attention to Xana Riya opened a hole and was about to leap through it when she got attacked and was sent flying Riya heard wings flapping and knew immediately who had attacked her
"hello Riya I'm sorry we had to meet like this again" Grace said finally landing and her wings receding
"you again last time you were close to defeating me but this time I'll destroy you" Riya said
Grace was a lot quicker than Riya due to the fact she still had two small wings and was using them to propel her self across the ground this only gave her a small advantage Riya was still a better fighter and would get the upper hand easily
Grace launched her self up flying as high up as she could then crashed into the ground trying to impale Riya Grace knew that if she lost Xana would not stand a chance
Grace began to attack quickly she knew that Riya could not be destroyed there were only two choices hold Riya up until Xana could deactivate the tower or knock her over the edge of Lyoko and into the digital sea Grace wasn't sure what would happen but she was sure that anything that would fall in would not come back out
Grace had to choose but only one would allow them to possibly get Riya to join them the other would make their enemy go away for ever Grace chose what she would do she had to get rid of Riya to save Xana and the world
Grace moved quickly striking at Riya and kept pushing her towards the edge as she go closer Grace flew straight at Riya and pushed her over the edge Grace thought that she had done it that she had finally defeated Riya but she soon realised that Riya had managed to jam one of her swords into the ground Riya was hanging on to her sword keeping her self from falling in
Riya opened a hole just below her and dropped into it Grace didn't know where Riya was going to attack from so she flew up into the air hoping that it would give her the advantage she needed
But it didn't, a hole opened just behind Grace she only had a few seconds as Riya appeared and smashed her into the ground Riya stood up and used both of her swords to destroy Grace
Riya walked over to the hole that she had opened when Grace attacked her and stepped through heading for where Xana was just before he reached the tower
When Riya arrived she looked around trying to figure out where Xana was he hadn't gotten into the tower but Riya could tell he was nearby Riya was about to go searching for him when she was attacked from behind
As Riya got up and turned around she saw Xana he was holding a scythe that was buried into the ground which had happened after he hit Riya
"this is it" Xana said quietly as Riya drew her two swords and dug her feet slightly into the ground
The fight begins as Xana and Riya fight will Xana be able to free Riya from the darkness or will he be destroyed
