DISCLAIMER- I do not own code Lyoko.
I think that Moonscape does. Sorry that this chapter took soo long. as you may have noticed, Scott acts a lot like Ichigo from Bleach. Not intended. That's just the way he came to my head. And everybody is in their second outfits when they are on Lyoko. Thanks to alex-della-robbia for the comment and the add to favorite stories. Enjoy the third installment!
Time for annihilation to progress!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life at Kadic for Scott was a bit different. He didn't have to worry about missing the bus, it was harder to be tardy, and it was impossible to get a good meal with Odd stealing his food when he didn't look. The only good news about that was that Odd only ate the things that he liked. It had been a week since he had joined the Lyoko warriors, and there had been no attacks since. He was sharing a room with the clone of William and found him rather annoying. Elise had quickly become his best friend. Even though everybody else but the two knew what they both were thinking. Scott and Elise were both almost as smart as Jeremie was, and more athletic than Ulrich. In P.E. class, they both out ran him in a race and still had the energy to do the pole vault.
"Hurry up Stern," Jim shouted. "Your losing your touch if the new people can out run you." After P.E. Scott got invited to the principal's office along with Elise.
"They both ran faster than anybody I've ever seen at this school," Jim told Mr. Delmas. "If they were on the track team, we'd win this years cross country for sure.."
Mr. Delmas thought for a moment, then said, "If they want to join the team, then that's up to them." He looked at them both.
"I really don't want to be on a team to be honest sir," Scott replied.
"Me either," Elise agreed.
They left the office while Jim stood there with his mouth gaping wide open. At the end of the school day, they went to the park and skipped stones across the pond.
Back at the school, Jeremie was running his computer, looking for signs of Franz Hopper. He didn't seem to notice Aelita walk in and look over his shoulder. She kissed him on the cheek just like she had seen in people who were dating some movies. He blushed and turned around.
"Surprise," she said. "In America today's a holiday called sweetest day." She grinned at the thought of how things were between them. Last night he had asked her out on a date, they were going to see a movie tonight, since it was Friday.
"Wow," Jeremie said. "I wonder how they came up with an idea like that?" He went back to doing his search with Aelita on his shoulder helping him. It seemed that since Scott had came to Kadic, everybody's relationships had gotten better for some strange reason. Even Odd had a girlfriend that he liked more than his last hundred or so. (my own joke if he really hasn't had that many) Ulrich and Yumi weren't admitting their feelings still, but they were acting more like they were dating than in the previous times at Kadic. But not everybody was in a happy mood.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xana, in the human form Scott had first met him in, was in sector five, pacing because he didn't know how Scott had over powered him so easily.
"Got any ideas slaves?" Xana directed this question towards William and a blond girl sitting on the ground next to William.
"I suggest activating more than one tower this time around," William said. He was leaning against his sword in a casual pose.
"Any other ideas?" Xana inquired to the girl.
She rolled onto her back and said, "Launch an attack and target only him this time since he's such a bother to you. I don't really care since I'm here against my will." She was dressed in a skin tight red belly shirt, a black mini skirt that came to halfway between her knees and her hips, sky blue go go boots, red gloves that came to her elbows, and a mask that was black and showed only her left eye.
"Good job Lina. I think that I will use the both of your ideas." He went to his section of sector five that Jeremie never knew about. He activated his screen and began to activate two towers in every sector to launch his powerful attack against Scott.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeremie's computer went off signaling an activated tower. He brought up the window and saw that there were ten towers activated at the same time.
"What's Xana doing?" Aelita had never seen this many towers activated before.
"I don't know," Jeremie replied. "But we need to get to the factory. You call Yumi and Ulrich. I'll call Scott and Odd." As they ran to the factory they both made their calls.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scott's phone rang, interrupting Scott and Elise's conversation about movies. He groaned and saw that it was Jeremie.
"Who is it Scott?" Elise inquired. She hadn't seen his cell phone before.
"Jeremie," Scott said. "I'll be right back." He went behind a tree and answered it. "What's up?"
"Xana attack," Jeremie said. "He's got ten towers going so what ever he's doing, it's going to be big." He hung up. 'What a mood killer' Scott thought to himself. He came out from be hind the tree and walked back to Elise.
"I've got to go," he said. "Jeremie needs-." He was grabbed on the back of his neck and thrown against a tree. Coughing, he seen it was a polymorphic specter dressed like an F.B.I. Agent. "RUN ELISE!" he screamed as he was hit in the gut by the specter. He kicked it in the face, with the same amount of strength he had used to launch the last one into the air. It didn't even flinch from the blow. 'So that's why he needed all the extra power,' he thought before it threw him into the pond.
Elise stood on the spot, watching in horror as Scott struggled to swim to shore. "He might have sprained his ankle when he kicked that man. As the specter moved to grab Scott when he was close to shore, she picked up a large heavy branch that was sitting nearby, and charged at him. She swung and knocked him off balance, catching him off guard. When it steadied it self, if grabbed her by the throat and began to slowly choke her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the others were on Lyoko, fighting to get at one of the activated towers on the ice sector.
"We need to hurry up guys," Jeremie said. "Scott's not here and he's not answering his phone. Xana might be with him."
"We heard you loud and clear Jeremie," Odd said. He shot a few laser arrows and scraped bunch of the monsters on the Xana mark on them before passing on and doing the same to many others, destroying them all. "Let's go princess. Your tower awaits."
"Very funny Odd," Aelita said sarcastically as she ran into the tower.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elise felt the specter's grip on her weaken a little as she saw Scott reach the shore. He looked around for Elise when he was, and saw that she hadn't run away and was getting choked. He ran as fast as he could, then jump kicked the fake man in the side of the head, making him drop Elise. The specter turned to look at Scott, who was on the ground, clutching his ankle that was in pain from being sprained.
"You've got guts for such a smart human," Xana said. It was the same voice he had when he killed Scott's mom. Hearing the voice, he became enraged all over again. Forgetting the pain in his leg, he stood up and began to punch as hard as he could. He knew that at least one tower was deactivated because the specter was flinching as he hit him. Not letting up a bit, Scott kicked him in the groin to see if Xana was stupid enough to give his specter a super weakness. It didn't.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We've got these two towers Jer," Ulrich said. "Where's the nearest transport tower?"
"Northeast of you guys," Jeremie replied. " Be careful though. It's in the forest sector. Ulrich, you've got fifteen hit points left. Odd, thirty. Yumi, ten. Aelita, you're still full."
"Thanks Jeremie," Aelita replied. They quickly found the tower and ran in to enter the forest sector. "Just keep trying to reach Scott."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elise crawled slowly over to Scott's ringing phone and answered it.
"Hello," she said in a slightly raspy voice.
"Hello Elise?" Jeremie said. "I need to talk to Scott right now."
"He can't talk at the moment. He's fighting some man that attacked us. He's losing at this point." She felt tears begin to form as she realized that she and Scott might die.
"He is? Help him the best you can. That is not a man that he's fighting. Try to knock it into the water. It might weaken it a little." She set down the phone and did a running jump kick like Scott had done. It wasn't as effective as his was, but since Scott had hit it at the same time, the thing got knocked into the water. It went under for a moment, then resurfaced, as if nothing had ever happened to it. She ran back to the phone with Scott's arm slung over her shoulder, picked up the phone, and ran towards the school. "Didn't help. Now what?"
"Hand the phone to Scott so that I can tell him what he can do." She obediently gave him the phone. "Head to the factory. If things don't go quite as planned, we can just launch a return to the past. It will fix anything as long as nobody dies. It won't bring back the dead."
"Okay Jer." Scott began to speed up. "We'll do that. What do we do when we get him to the factory though?"
"One of the others will be devirtualized by that time. They really need you on Lyoko. They've got three towers down. Seven to go."
"Alright. We'll be there in a se-" Xana threw a rock and broke Scott's phone. "Shit. Go to the abandoned factory. That's where we will get help."
"Why there?" Elise asked. "Isn't that place a safety hazard?"
"It's been fixed. Now go before ugly catches up." She helped him limp along as best she could. Xana was slowly catching up. The factory was pretty close by luckily. They were crossing the bridge when Xana caught up to them. He grabbed Scott by the back of his neck and threw him away from the factory.
"Scott!" Elise screamed. Xana grabbed her and threw her at the factory.
"Go into the factory and scream for the others until they come!" Scott shouted. He ran at Xana and knocked him over with a tackle. Elise obeyed him and went into the factory screaming.
"Jeremie! Aelita! Ulrich! Somebody help!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On Lyoko, Odd just got devirtualized by on of Xana's mega tanks. He fell out of the scanner and heard Jeremie telling him to go help Scott. "He's outside of the factory. Hurry!" Odd stood up and got in the elevator. When he reached the top, he heard Elise screaming for Aelita.
"No need to fear," Odd said. "Odd is here." He ran over to her and grabbed her by the shoulder. "Where is he?"
"Outside," she replied. Odd quickly ran to the entrance, and was nearly hit by an unconscious Scott as Xana threw him into the factory.
"Take him to the elevator and press the red button. Jeremie will tell you what to do with him." He turned around and began his fight with Xana. Elise picked up Scott and dragged him over to the factory elevator.
"Man you weigh a ton, Scott." She pushed the elevator button. The doors closed and the elevator went down. When the doors opened again, she saw Jeremie sitting at a large computer.
"Odd said that you would know what to do with him." She dropped him at the elevator door.
"Take him to the floor below us," Jeremie replied. "Then stick him in one of the tubes and put yourself into another one. We need all the help that we can get." Elise obeyed, even as lost as she was. When she was in a tube, it closed on her and began to move around a bit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Lyoko, Scott materialized and landed on a crab.
"Holy shit," he said. "This must be Lyoko." He stomped really hard on the crab's eye, causing it to crack. He jumped off because he knew that it would explode. When it did, he saw that there were no more enemies around. Just his friends.
"Welcome to Lyoko," Aelita said. She was wearing a very strange outfit. So was everybody else. "I know. Our outfits look ridiculous. But you should have seen or old ones. They were even worse." He looked down at his. It was just like a samurai's out fit. But he didn't see any weapons anywhere on his body.
"Where is the next tower, and how many are left?" Scott inquired.
"Five to go," Ulrich answered. "Let's get to the next one. Where is it Einstein?"
"North of your position," Jeremie replied.
"Let's go," Aelita said. They all began to follow her as they went for the tower.
"I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is the mountain sector," Scott said as they got close to the tower.
"Yep. We should reach the tower any second now. There it is." The tower was on the side of a mountain. There were seven monsters, four mega tanks and three crabs.
"Shouldn't be to hard," Ulrich said. He ran down the hill and screamed "Triplicate!" He struck one of the crabs legs, knocking it down. One of his clones did the same. His last clone was destroyed by the last crab before he could do anything. The mega tanks all turned on their side's.
"Get out of there," Scott shouted. He had seen a similar move performed on TV. The tanks would launch there attack, with a better chance of actually hitting him dead on. But he was too late. The tanks had already attacked devurtualizing Ulrich and his clone. He was about to run down to attack the tanks, when an overboard passed over his head with Elise riding on it. She was wearing a short blue skirt that was halfway between her knees and her hips, a green skintight belly shirt, red go go boots, and black gloves that went all the way to her elbows. She jumped down by a mega tank and punched the ground, causing a stone spike to come up and destroy all of the monsters. She turned to face Scott and smiled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich ran outside the factory to help Odd since they were the only ones that were devirtualized on Lyoko. When he got up there, he saw that the specter was choking Odd against a pole. He ran up and kicked the thing in the lower back to distract it from Odd. It turned around, dropping Odd, allowing him to breath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How come she gets a super power and I don't even get a weapon?" Scott shouted at Jeremie over the computer.
"I don't know," Jeremie replied. "The computer designed your body based on your personality and preferences. All you have that we know of is your super strength. Oh crap" There's something wrong. All the towers but one just deactivated themselves."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"I don't think that it is. There has gotta be some reason why Xana deactivated his own towers. It's in sector five. I'll get you there. Go to the end of the sector. Ill send you your ride." He typed in Scipio to send in the sphere to send the group to sector five.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Xana," William said. He was in sector five with Xana and Lina. "The humans are on their way to this sector."
"Good." Xana smiled. "Then my plan has worked perfectly to eliminate them for ever. Begin the preparations to bring out the new monster."
