Disclaimer-I do not own Code Lyoko. I think that moonscape does.
Yay. Chapter 8. Sorry it took so long. Traffic was brutal getting at this computer. This is getting exciting. Now that Scott and Elise have expressed thier feelings, they will be together alot. Will Yumi and Ulrich finally follow example? I don't know yet myself, but Xana sure as hell isn't up to any good. Well my writers note sucks but the story is good.
Let the annihilation progress
--
As Scott went through the rest of his day, he felt like the time was passing by so quickly. And everybody noticed that he was in a good enough mood to be smiling and not even know it. During lunch, Elise was running a little bit late, so he waited at the doorway with a coke.
"Hey Scott," Sissi said walking up behind him. "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Make it fast Sissi," Scott replied. "I'm not going to be waiting for long."
"Well I was wondering," Scott took a drink of his coke, "if you would be willing to go on a date with me to the movies?" Scott coughed and sprayed his drink all over the sidewalk in front of him. He bent over coughing more, unable to answer. "You ok?" She rubbed on his back.
"I'm sorry Sissi," Scott said after he stopped coughing. "I'm already taken."
"Since when?" It was wierd to Scott, but she sounded like she was ready to cry. She had been dead serious about going out.
"Since before school started today," Scott said to her. "I asked her out this morning." Sissi started to cry. He tried to put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, but she shook it off and ran away. "Could this day get any stranger for me?" Elise walked up finally.
"Hey," she said. "You ok? You got a wierd look on your face." She grabbed Scott's coke and took a drink.
"You're not going to believe this," Scott said, "but Sissi just tried to ask me out." Elise spit coke all over Scott and started to cough. Scott closed his eyes since they were full of pop. "That was my reaction too. Except I spit on the ground."
"Oh my. I'll get you a water to rinse your eyes." She walked over to the usual table and saw everybody else was there, except for Will, who was still being a little outcast and was sitting at the next table over. He was the only one that had a water. "Can I borrow that real fast?"
"Yeah," he replied. "Why?"
She picked up the bottle and replied, "I spit coke all over Scott and got it in his eyes." He fell backwards in his chair, laughing as he hit the floor. When she got the water bottle out to Scott, she saw that he wasn't there. She looked around, but still didn't see him. Then she remembered that there was a water fountain around the corner of the building. "Duh," she told herself. She went around and saw Scott washing his eyes out, and a new person she didn't know was standing next to him.
"I know that she didn't mean to do it," Scott told the kid. "I mean, I did the same thing not even a minute before. It's just, I was so thrown off about what Sissi had done, that my reaction time was basically gone." He stood straight and looked at the guy who had helped him over to the fountain. He was the same height as Scott, with brown hair that was in dreadlocks that reached his eyebrows, fairly tanned skin, a orange Bob Marley shirt, a camo backpack, blue jean shorts, and sandels that were a bright shade of blue.
"I'll admit it was funny when I saw it," the guy said. "But the sad thing was that the girl you called Sissi started to cry. She really was expecting a yes from you."
"And if she had persisted, I would have kicked her ass," Elise said walking up. "Hi. I'm Elise."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Jaden Stoners." He smiled and closed his eyes.
"Jaden, do you happen to have a towel or something?" Scott was drenched all over his face and neck.
"Yeah." He reached into his bag, and pulled out a small white towel and put it into Scott's hand. "Bye the way dude, later today, you may want to bring along a tazor to your hangout spot." He walked away.
"What was that about?" Elise asked.
"I don't know but he forgot his towel."
--
After school, in the rec room
--
"Jeremie said to meet at the factory," Will told Elise. "Said it was pretty important."
"Then let's go," Scott said. "Let me just run and grab something from my room. I'll catch up." He left, and Elise and Will left to get to the factory.
"Wonder what he's going to get," Will said to Elise. "Do you know?"
"Nope," came the reply. "I have no idea what it could be. Do you know what Jeremie wants to tell us?"
"Not a freakin' clue," he said bluntly. "But he was pretty excited." Neither one of them noticed that Sissi was following behind them, running quietly from tree to tree. When they reached the sewer entrance, and went down, Sissi smiled.
"Wait until Scott learns," she said, "that his girlfriend is cheating on him with one of his best friends. This will make him dump her for sure." She smiled at the thought of this. She had fallen for Scott, and was going to do anything to have him be hers.
--
"There it is," Scott said as he grabbed his homemade tazor. "Wait until the genius sees how well that this thing is made. I don't even think that he could do this good of a job." He smiled and walked out his door. As soon as he got out of the school grounds, and into the trees, he noticed that he was being followed. He pulled out his phone, and sent a text to Elise saying he had a tail, and would be late. He went into town to try to lose whoever it was in the store or something.
--
"Rrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnngggggggggg A Ding Ding Dong," a voice sang out of Elise's phone as they made it to the halfway point to the factory. Will was on a scooter, and Elise was on a skateboard.
"Better answer that," Will called out. "Might be an emergency." She pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw what Scott sent.
"Scott's going to be late," she said, putting away her phone. "Somebody is following him."
--
'How the hell are we going to lose this dude?' Lee asked. Scott shrugged and slipped into the bathroom at the grocery store. He jumped into a stall in the middle, locked the door, and lifted up his feet as he sat on the seat. When he heard the door open, letting his stalker in, he listened to the sound of the person walking. He knew that they were wearing sandels, because of how they were hitting the floor. He saw the feet go into the stall next to him. The sandels were bright blue. He had to stop himself from hitting himself in the head. Those were Jaden's sandels.
--
"Where is Scott?" Jeremie asked. "I figured he would be as excited as me when He heard what I got."
"He had somebody following him," Elise replied. "So he may not come."
"Oh well," Odd said. "You snooze, you lose."
"So is that why you always lose?" Yumi asked. Odd turned his nose into the air.
"Anyways," Aelita continued. "Jeremie and I finally found out where one of the guardians are located."
"No way," Yumi said. "Which one?"
"Mountain guardian," Jeremie replied. "My scan of Lina helped me to point out the similarities and differences in the sectors and their guardians. Since she was the desert, we already have her signature, and could find her at any time."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" They all went to the elevator except Will.
--
After Jaden went into the next stall, Lee slid out from the stall on the side that the window was closer to and the side Jaden wasn't on. He then stood up on the seat and jumped quietly into that empty stall. He stayed on the seat for a few more seconds before climbing over the next stall since it was occupied. Lee and Scott both prayed that the guy wouldn't look up from his magazine. As he softly stepped onto the next toilet. He was at the window.
'Be careful Lee,' Scott said in his mind. 'The only reason I'm letting you do this is cause you're more stealthy.'
'I know.' He slowly opened the window. 'Shit. There is a screen.'
'So push it out idiot.' Lee slowly pried off one corner of the screen, then pushed the rest outside to fall on the grass. He then jumped out and started running to the factory as soon as he touched the ground.
Jaden looked out the window after Lee, and smiled.
"Just as I saw in my vision." He left the bathroom to follow after him.
--
"Where do we go Jer?" Elise asked when everybody was in the mountain sector but Will. He was still in the lab, since they still didn't trust him all the way.
"Head north," Jeremie replied. "There should be a cave hidden behind a big boulder." They ran in the direction that Jeremie had said.
--
Scott took out his cell and dialed Will's cell.
"Hello?" Will answered.
"It's me," Scott replied. "I'm on my way now. I think I lost him."
"Do you know who it was?"
"Yeah. Somebody that I met today at school. But never mind that. Did the others find it yet?"
"No. But they are almost at the location that Jeremie found."
"Good. Be there in ten." He hung up. "Almost there guys." Not too far behind him was Jaden, running without his sandels on to make less noise.
--
"I see it," Odd yelled. They approched the very large boulder and stopped right in front of it. "Now how do we move it?"
"Let me try," Aelita said. She stepped forward and started to sing. The boulder didn't budge. "Well it was worth a shot."
"What if it has a password?" Odd asked. Everybody stared at him.
"Odd," Ulrich said, "I doubt it is a simple as saying something like 'open sesame.'" The boulder rolled off to the side. Ulrich and everybody else just stared. "I didn't think that would work."
"WHO DARES DISTURB ME?!" roared a voice from the inside. It was a very deep voice.
"We're enemies of Xana and allies of Lina," Yumi answered. "We are looking for the guardian of this mountain sector to offer him an alliance for a fight against Xana."
"FOOLS. WHY WOULD I ALLY MY SELF WITH WEAK HUMANS?"
"Because we do not believe that you are even strong enough to defeat Xana on your own," Elise yelled back at him. Everybody looked at her like she had just asked the devil to kill them. "What? We needed to provoke him so that we can give him reason to join us." The ground started to rumble. "Oh shit."
"Guys," Jeremie said. "There is an activated tower in the forest sector."
"Not now Xana," Yumi said.
The mountain sector guardian came walking out. He was a foot taller than any of them, and was exteremely muscular. He wore an orange jumpsuit jacket with blue jump suit pants and had brown hair that was in dreadlocks that reached his eyebrows. His eyes were a bright shade of blue.
"I have a proposal for you," Yumi said. "You prove to us that you can beat Xana by helping us deactivate this tower, and we will take back what was said.
"You're on," He said. "My name is program 080214, Intelligent Adaptive Network Editor. Or Iane for short." (Side note, it's pronounced like Ian)
"Great," Odd yelled enthusiastically. "Let's go."
--
Scott was in front of the factory, when he noticed that Jaden was behind him. He turned around, only to have Jaden push him out of the way of a moving car.
"What the hell?" Scott sat up and saw another man in black spector driving the car. "Not again."
"This could be a problem," Jaden said. He stood up and took a small silver device out from his book bag. It looked like a pack of cigarettes. The spector walked out of the car and slowly approached them. "Remember that warning I gave you earlier?"
"Yeah," Scott replied getting up. "Why?" He took it out of his pocket.
"I need to use it as an energy source for my device," Jaden replied. He grabbed it from Scott's hand, and put it into the bottom of his silver object.
--
"We're here genius," Ulrich said as they came out of the transport tower. "Now which way do we-"
"This way," Iane said, rushing to the right.
"He's correct guy's," Jeremie said in a suprized tone of voice. They all ran after him, not going quite as fast. After a few seconds, the tower came into view. And standing right in front of it was Xana himself.
--
"Scott?" Jaden asked. "How long would you be able to hold off this computer program?"
"For maybe two minutes," Scott replied. "How did you know it was a program?"
"Never mind that. I need you to hold him off for about five minutes. This device can neutralize him, but it takes a while to charge up power."
"I'll do my best." Scott ran at the spector, filling himself with his anger towards Xana once more.
--
"Long time no see 080214," Xana said. He was standing in front of the tower with three mega tanks, seven hornets, nine blocks, and the dragon. "I'm glad to see that you felt safe enough to leave your little rat hole."
"Go delete yourself virus," Iane replied. "Scum like you should have never have been programed into Lyoko." He clapped his hands together and created a spear from the air.
"You poor misguided AI," Xana said. "You really think that you can take me?" Xana faded out of focus.
"What the hell?" Elise said. "Where did he go?"
"Here," Xana whispered in her ear. She turned to hit him, but he had already vanished again. He appeared in front of Yumi, behind Odd, next to Ulrich, on top of Iane, then stopped moving in front of Aelita. "I believe that you are the biggest threat since you can deactivate my towers." He punched her in the face, devurtualizing her instantly.
--
Aelita fell from the scanner unconcious.
--
Scott was thrown into a light post. He stood up slowly, drained of almost all of his strength. This one was somehow stronger than all the others.
"How much longer do I have to do this Stoners?" Scott panted.
"Thirty seconds," Jaden yelled back to him. "Then you can take a long nap."
--
Xana had devurtualized both Aelita and Ulrich with a single punch to the face. And neither one was awake. Odd had used his shield from instinct, and had only lost half of his life points and got knocked back a hundred feet when Xana went for him and Yumi had done the same with her fans. Elise had dodged and jumped backwards on time, avoiding getting hit. Iane threw his spear at Xana, only to miss, but the spear collided with a mega tank on accedent. Now Iane and Xana were fighting with each other, using only their fists. They were matching each other, blow for blow almost. Xana was moving faster that Iane, and that was causing Iane to lose life points. Xana was holding back for the fun of it.
"We got to help him," Odd said. He tried to aim an arrow at Xana, but couldn't get a clear enough shot. Yumi had her fans destroyed when Xana had hit her, so she had nothing to throw.
"What can we do?" Elise asked them all. "We can't do anything without screwing up the fight."
--
"Charged!" Jaden yelled. Scott ducked down and watched as a beam of orange light connected with the spector's chest.
--
Xana knocked Iane over and was about to deliver the destroying blow, when all of the sudden he bent down clutching his head.
--
The spector vanished. Sissi's jaw dropped when she saw this. She had been standing behind a tree watching for Elise when all of this commotion happened.
"Ok Jaden," Scott said. "You better start explaining now about this or else."
"Or else what my friend?" Jaden asked. "Or you'll crawl onto my feet? You don't even have the strength to do that."
"Don't mock me." Scott coughed into his hand and saw that there was a little bit of blood there. "I just want for you to explain yourself."
--
"Somebody on the other end destroyed my creation," Xana said, standing straight back up. "I guess that Jeremie will just have to have a little visit paid to him." He waved both of his hands once.
--
"What's going on guys?" Jeremie yelled into the mike. Behind him, another spector materialized. It hit Will in the back of the head knocking him out. It grabbed Jeremie by the back of the neck and threw him into the elevator. "Oh fuck. I think that broke a rib." He stood up and pressed the door closing button as the spector came. As soon as the door closed, it began to slam on the doors.
--
"As you already know, my name is Jaden Stoners. I moved here from America not too long ago from Ludington Michigan in the U.S. My dad was a computer design editor. He has been gone a long time now. My mom mostly was an inventor of sorts. She made this little gizmo and told me that if I ever had to use it, I would have to tell her. For years, I have had little visions of events happening to other people. Only a few times was the vision about me. You have been in a few of my visions. And as far as I can tell, only five of those visions have come true."
"Prove that," Scott said. "What is one that already came true?"
"In my first ever vision of you, you were standing in a computer room, screaming at the corpse of your mother, who had just been killed, by a red headed teenager. That was about ten years ago." Scott stood up.
"I may not believe you," Scott said. "But you have proven that you have the ability to bring down the enemy."
"HELP!!" It was Jeremie's voice inside the factory. Jaden ran in and saw that he was running from another spector. He jumped down and landed on the spector's head, knocking it over.
"Strike one," Jaden said. He ran over to Jeremie and slung his arm around his shoulder. "Need to get you back to that big computer."
"How-" Jeremie started.
"I'll explain later," Scott said as he swung into the elevator from a chain. "Jaden, hold it off until we can turn it off." He hit the button to go down. Jaden backed up, then turned to face the spector.
--
"What do we do?" Odd whispered. Xana hadn't moved since he put his arms back down. Iane was still laying down, not able to move much from his beating.
"I don't know," "Elise replied. "He is faster than any of use with that teleportation move. And he has alot more physical strength too. We need Scott right now."
--
"Now start up that program genious," Scott said, as he set Jeremie down in the seat. He slid down the ladder to the scanner room to save some time.
"Transfer Scott. Scanner Scott. Virtualization." Jeremie hit the enter key. A second later, he heard the elevator go up. "Son of a bitch." The spector would be on it's way soon.
--
The spector threw Jaden away from the elevator. He landed on a few nails, and felt one peirce his stomach. Pain seared up his side. He knew that is was probably rusty. The elevator reached the top of the shaft. He stood up, knowing that this was his only chance to help out again. The spector had it's back turned. He charged at it, ignoring the pain of the nail. It turned and threw him into the elevator. He kicked the down button and laughed as the spector realized it's mistake, and the elevator went down.
--
"Why the fuck couldn't he get me to the damn sector i need?" Scott said after he landed in the ice sector. He looked around and saw a tower nearby.
"Take the nearest tower and you will be in the forest sector," Jeremie said.
"Thanks." Scott ran as fast as he could to the tower.
--
The elevator doors opened up again and Jaden fell out. The doors closed and Jeremie shut it down.
"That won't stop him for long," Jaden said. "You got to distract him long enough for the others to stop it all." He sat up against the door holding his stomach. It was bleeding pretty heavly. He lifted his hand away from it and counted three nails in his stomach. "Fuck."
"I'll do what I can," Jeremie said. "You stay here and rest. You will get better after I turn back the clocks. Just don't die." He got up and ran out the other door.
"One thing you didn't know bud is that I have seen a vision on how to work this shit." Jaden stood up and walked slowly over to the computer. He started hitting buttons.
--
"There they are," Scott said. He had taken a random guess at what direction to go in since Jeremie didn't tell him. He saw everybody was laying on the ground beaten badly. And he saw Xana standing there laughing.
"Welcome boy," Xana taunted. "I believe that I never really got the chance to introduce my self the last time we saw each other. I am the murderer of your mother." He smiled and laughed.
Scott ran over to Elise. She was unconcious, as were all the others. Then he noticed Iane. To Scott, he looked oddly familiar.
"Why don't we get on with what we came to do?" Xana took a step forward. Scott lost all he had left holding him sane. His pupils vanished. And his muscles tensed up. They charged at each other and exchanged equal blows with each other. The only difference was that Scott was throwing all he had in a blind rage, and Xana was once again just messing around. After a minute of this, Xana punched Scott in the face, knocking him over. "Last time, you all caught me off guard. But this time I was ready." He put his foot on Scott's throat. Any last words before I throw you into the digital sea?"
"Yeah," Jaden yelled. "Bonzai!" He plowed straight into Xana's back, flinging him thirty feet away. Will was standing there, with his blade held like a baseball bat. He swung and nailed Xana with the broad side and sent him straight up hundreds of feet into the air.
"Homerun," Will said. Jaden went over to Iane andturned him over to see who he was. When he did, his face showed great confusion. Will ran over to see what was wrong. "That must be Iane, guardian of the mountain sector."
"That's my dad," Jaden whispered.
"What?"
Xana landed on the ground in front of his monsters. After standing up, he raised his hand to tell them to attack. The dragon flew up into the air and prepared to blow flames. Jaden stood up and took Will's sword from him.
"Die freak." Jaden's face was filled with a strange rage. He threw the blade, and it hit the dragon in it's mouth. He saw that Xana's mark was on the uvula before it blew up. After that, he fell over.
"Jaden, Scott," Will said. "Wake up. I can't handle the rest on my own."
--
"Oh god," Jeremie said. "I go to get rid of the spector, and the fucker puts himself onto Lyoko. And he takes Will with him. I can't believe them." He began typing furiously. "At least Xana deactivated his own tower." He pulled up the stats on everybody left. "What the hell? Jadens stats match with Scott's. He was only there for a minute and a half." Both Scott and Jaden's player cards started to glow.
--
Will had taken out all the blocks but was losing to the rest. The hornets were the biggest problem. He was no good at long range. The only thing keeping him from being devirtualized, was his super smoke ability.
Lee opened his eyes and sat up slowly. He was sore. He looked around and saw Will fighting. But he saw Jaden kneeling on the ground. He had on a solid orange jump suit. On his back was a small backpack. On his forehead was a set of light blue sports goggles. On his hips, were two cyinders the size of his thumb on each side.
"I think it's time to help out," Lee said. Jaden's eyes opened and started glowing as he stood up.
"I agree," Jaden said. They put their hands out for a hand shake. Once their hands connected, a blinding light flowed around them.
Will tripped when he saw the light. "What the f-." A mega tank hit him and devurtualized him.
--
Will fell out of his tube. "What the hell was that?" he said.
--
"What is happening?" Xana watched as the light moved and destroyed all the monsters that it touched. It was coming towards him. "You want to fight? Then come get some." He ran at it as soon as his last monster was destroyed. "DIE!" He threw a punch, only to have it blocked by a hand. Jaden walked out of the light.
"Begone false program," Jaden said in a deep voice. It sounded very similar to Lee's voice. He threw Xana away from them. Far enough away, that they could no longer see him.
"We are very alike in several ways my friend," came a gentle voice from behind him. He turned around and saw Scott, except that his eyes were as red as his hair. "I am Peace. What are you called?"
"I am un-named," came the reply. "But for now, call me Leo."
-----------------------------------------------------
Now that took me forever to get this done.
