Hey faithful fans. Sorry it was taking so long for these last few chapters I've been writing as frequently as I possibly could. The last two chapters were originally one. I just didn't have the computer to put it on the site and I just got myself a laptop. I really hope you guys liked those ones and this one. I wanted to make this one a chapter that would explain some about Scott, Lee, and Peace. I hope you learn everything about them that you wanted to know.
Let the annialation progress!

"How long do we have before boom?" Odd asked Will.
"It was around an hour and a half ago that I got that call, so around 22 and half hours," Will answered. He was in the bottom center of the skid. "Hey Jay. How do you know how to do this crap?"
"I have had visions about this," Jaden replied. He was in the drivers pod. "I never forget my visions." They were seconds away from the new sector. "Prepare to disembark." They were teleported off.
"So now what?" Sissi sounded like she was getting bored.
"Now we go push a button in the tower," Jaden said. "It's at the base of that volcano." He pointed straight forward.
They walked forward, all weapons drawn. The warning about lizards had them on high guard. Every time they turned a spike, they expected a monster. But none came. It was fairly empty where they were at. The volcano made noises every few seconds, but that seemed to be all.
"Is there anything here?" Odd complained. "I want to shoot something. See how tough these lizards are."
"Odd," Will said. "Be glad that I need you to help or I would kick your ass myself. I have gotten sick of the shit that you and the others are putting me through. Scott is the only one who has stopped. And Jaden never gave me any shit. So shut the fuck up and walk."
"What are you guys talking about?" Sissi asked.
"I would like to know myself," Jaden said.
Odd sighed. "Will was once under the influence of Xana. Full out under his control. He fought the virus that Xana used, and came back to us. But none of us really trust him that much yet. But he has been giving a lot of effort. That's why I came."
"That explains a lot," came a familiar voice. They stopped running and looked at where the voice came from. "You guys must have missed me."
"No way," Odd said. "Scott?"
"Got that right Odd-ball," Scott said with a smile. "But what the hell is she here for?" He pointed at Sissi.
"I came to help," Sissi said. "I've known about this place since before you vanished. I came because I care." She walked forward and hugged him. "They said you were dead."
"Sorry Sissi," Scott said as he pushed her away. "I'm grateful that you came, but I still don't feel that way about you. But I do know somebody who does." He pointed at a spike a few feet away. "Lee. Come on out." Lee walked out from behind the spike. He looked just like Scott, except his eyes were brown, and his hair was a deeper shade of red.
"Nice to finally meet you face to face, Sissi Delmas," Lee said.
"What the hell?" Jaden said.
"How?" Odd said.
"I am so totally lost," Sissi said.
"I think I can answer your questions," Peace came out from behind another spike. "My name is Peace and I know everything about our body." He bowed formally. Unlike both Scott and Lee, his hair was pure white, and his eyes were as red as Scott's hair.
"Ok?" Will said. "Why do you look like him?"
"There is a good reason behind this. Have a seat." He leaned against the nearest spike.
"Might as well guys," Odd said as he sat next to Will. Sissi sat next to Scott, and Odd sat next to Jaden. "Now I guess we're ready."
"Ok. As I said, my name is Peace. Like Lee, I am another mind inside of Scott. But unlike Lee, I developed as a reaction to a virus program a year or so ago. At almost the same time that Lyoko was turned back on. Scott was extremely violent towards others at this time, because of the virus that controls his father. The two have a link mentally, and allows them to share small amounts of data with each other. The virus was small enough to be transmitted. During his rebellious stage, his body began to develop immunities to the virus, creating me. The anti-virus to the virus that even controls Xana. But being inside of Scott stops me from deleting it. So I do what I can when I'm needed to protect Scott. I only step in if it is all but impossible to survive. It has been five times that I have stepped in. I know all of Scott's powers and everything that he can possibly do."
After a moment, Odd said "Is that all?" He was confused as all hell.
"You didn't explain why you are all out of Scott's head," Jaden pointed out.
"That's the thing," said Lee. "We aren't." There was silence throughout the sector.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Will asked.
"It's just as he said you guys," Scott said. "Welcome to my head." He held up his hands as if in welcome to a house.
Jaden fell over laughing. Odd's mouth fell open. Will had a 'what the fuck' look on his face. Sissi closed her eyes and rubbed her temples like she had a migraine.
"I'm being serious you guys. This sector represents my subconscious. By the way that Peace explained it, the volcano represents my unstable emotions, the ground spikes are my memories, and the creatures represent things I fear and/or hate. Their bites show you all they have in their minds. It's really creepy."
"How the hell is that even possible?" Jaden asked. "From what I understand, you fell into the digital sea. That means you shouldn't even be in Lyoko. You're in all senses dead."
"I don't know," Scott said. "The last thing I remember is falling and then getting hit by a blue sphere. The next thing that I know, I wake up on an inner ledge of the volcano next to those two. They got no idea either."
"Ok......" Jaden said. "So how the hell do we see your memories from these spikes?"
"Like this," Lee said as he threw him into the air so he would land on the top of a nearby spike.
"What are you doing?!" Will yelled. Jaden landed on the spike, but didn't cry out in any pain. After a second his body was pushed up and off the spike on its own.
"Holy shit," Jaden said. "That was so strange."
"What did you see?" Odd asked.
"I saw a five minute make out session between Scott and Elise. Strange thing was it was from Scott's perspective. I saw it from his eyes."
"Well that makes sense Jay," Scott said. "That was the way that I saw it so that's the way I would remember it." He gave Lee a slap up the back of his head. "You knew which memory that was. That reminds me, how is Elise?"
Everybody looked at one another. Will stepped forward to answer.
"She's a mess," he said. "She won't leave her room, barely eats, and won't talk to anybody except the girls most off the time. She's bad dude. I swear that if we don't get you back, she's going to end up dying from being so depressed."
"Fuck. We got to figure out how to get me off here."
"That's part of why we're here Scottie," Odd said. "I think your daddy-o gave Will the instructions to save you."
"Yeah," Jaden said. "I think that it was. It was the same voice as the ninja that my dad said was your dad."
"Wait.......What?" Scott was confused.
"How did he give you instructions?" Lee asked.
"He called me on my phone," Will answered. "Don't ask me how, 'cause I got no idea."
"If he called you that will mean that he fought the virus to some extent. And that he activated a tower to tap into the phone lines. If he could do that then it could cure him of it easier."
"Is it the same virus that I got infected with?" Will asked.
"I believe so."
"How was I able to get rid of it?"
"Hold on a second. Let me do a body scan." Peace stepped up to Will and put his hand on his forehead. A small blue light went into Will's head. "You didn't get rid of it. You have the will power of a human so you can suppress it. But I can get rid of it for you if you so desire."
"Are you serious? Hell yeah." Will was slightly ecstatic. Peace put both of his index fingers on Will's temples. After another second, there was a bang, and everybody was flung in different directions. Scott landed with Jaden at the top of the volcano's ridge. Will landed by Peace at the north most point of the sector. Sissi and Lee landed in front of the skid. Odd flew to the western most point of the island alone. Uria had thrown a dragon bomb into the middle of them. Nobody saw him come.

Elise was sitting in the corner of her room with Yumi on her bed. As usual, Yumi didn't have much of an idea on what to say. She had tried twice to say something, but Elise had just ignored her. There was silence in the room that couldn't be filled with talk. It was all gloom emanating from Elise.
"I guess I can't really offer any comfort to you," Yumi said. "But if there is anything I can do, call. You got my number." She got up to leave when she heard a strange noise from the corner. It was like a grinding noise that a couple of rusty gears would make if they rubbed together trying to turn. Yumi turned to look at Elise and saw that she was lying on the floor facedown. Yumi went over to her and rolled her over. Elise had her eyes rolled into the back of her head. There was some pinkish saliva coming out of the corner of her mouth. Her legs trembled and her hands were cringed.
"Oh my god," Yumi said. "What do I do?"
"He lives on inside of Lyoko," came a voice from Elise's mouth. "Inside him is the cure for all that burdens the beings of Lyoko. He can stop all the pain. He is the one unique being among even us halves. United, we will end the plague known as Twilight." She fainted.
Yumi dialed 911.
--
Scott got up. He and Jaden had been out cold for an hour.
"What the fuck was that?" Jaden asked. He was holding his forehead cause of the headache that the explosion had caused.
"I got no idea," Scott answered. "But I suspect that we are low on hit points. We need to hit that button soon. I get the feeling that I won't get a third chance to live again. Where is the damn tower?"
"On the other side of the volcano at the base. I think the button is on the top of the inside." He stood up and staggered to the nearest spike. He tripped and hit his head on the base of it.
"You ok man?" Scott said as he walked over. He leaned down and saw Jaden's eyes were rolled into the back of his head. "Jay, wake up. Snap out of it." He tapped Jaden on the cheek.
"Holy shit man," Jaden said. "That isn't one of your memories." His eyes went back to regular color. "You need to see." Jaden grabbed Scott's head and slammed it into the spike further up. Images flashed into Scott's head that he didn't know.

Jeremie was typing on his computer when he saw the tower activate. His computer made its annoying noise. "Why is this happening now?" The scanner showed him six towers. "Fucking bull shit! This crap all over again?" He looked at where the towers were. One in every sector, plus one additional one he never seen before. "Where the hell? That's impossible." He grabbed his phone and dialed Aelita.
--
Odd was running to the volcano. The reason why he was running was because he was being chased by lizards. He wasn't getting very far but he was trying to get jut far enough away to turn around and shoot. He was bit once when he first landed, and he didn't want to see that again. Every couple of spikes, another lizard would join in the chase and make Odd curse his luck.
"If only I had that teleport power Jeremie once gave me," he said. "Then I wouldn't be screwed up the ass right now." While he said this, a large shadow passed over his head. He looked up and saw a large black creature flying towards the volcano. "Oh... shit!"
--
"Do you see that over there?" Lee asked pointing west.
"Yeah I do," Sissi replied. "What is it?"
"If I recall right, it looks like a giant man almost." He stared at it as they walked. It was like nothing like he had ever seen or heard of.
--
"You have got to be kidding me," Will said.
"What is it friend?" Peace asked.
"Xana is not fucking around today." He pointed at the creature to the west. "He sent the Kolossus here!" He started to run. The Kolossus was the hardest creature to destroy. And by far the largest. "Come on! We got to get to the tower before him!"
--
"I get the feeling that we need to move faster," Scott said. He pointed at the Kolossus.
"I agree," Jaden said. They were a quarter of the way down the south side of the volcano. They spotted the tower at the southern end and had made their way down earlier. "That thing is huge."
--
"We got to get you guys to Lyoko," Jeremie said. He had gotten Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita to the factory bridge. "There are towers in every sector plus one in a new sector active. I don't know why, but I can't reach the others, and Elise is at the hospital."
"If that's the case, then on of us have to stay to fight what ever the hell Xana is going to throw at us," Ulrich said. He ran towards the elevator with the others. "Maybe once we get a better look, I can stay behind to fight." He went to hit the elevator button, but was grabbed by the back of his shirt.
"Nice to see you again," Xana said, "pest." He threw Ulrich up and out the factory doorway.
"No way," Aelita said, she slowly walked backwards to the doorway.
"Hey there sis. Nice to see you." He took a step towards her. "I haven't physically seen you in about ten years." He took another step. "This time I will kill you though. I just missed you the last time." He lifted his hands. "This time, you will be shocked to death."
Yumi jumped on his arm and caused the black electricity to hit the ground. It sent a large zap into everybody around Xana except Yumi, causing them all to fall and start to twitch. Yumi quickly let go and went to kick Xana's legs out from under him. Her legs went through him.
"You know what, Yumi?" Xana teased. "I've decided you're the first I'm going incinerate." He pointed his right palm at her. "Good bye you stupid bi-" He got hit by yellow lightning. The force behind it was so strong; he was thrown into the wall, sticking to the broken metal. Everybody that was conscious turned towards the elevator. Inside it was a female that they hadn't seen in quite some time.
"Hey there virus," Lina said as she walked out of the elevator. "You may want to leave those kids alone. They need to do something for us on Lyoko."
"Us?" Yumi asked. She looked behind Lina and saw two other people walk out. One was Iane. The other was the last guardian that none of them had ever met. He stood at six feet, four inches. Had a black bandanna on his head, black eyeliner, greasy looking dark blue hair, bloodshot hazel eyes, cut up leather pants, a loose purple vest with no shirt under it, and he looked to be of African descent.
"Nice to see you again mate," said the new AI. He spoke with an accent typical to a pirate.
"Well well well," Xana said, getting down from the wall. "You got so desperate to beat me that you called on the help of Slant. System Link Application Network Transmitter. This is a surprise. How are things in the ice hell you live in?"
"Same as they were when you tried to infect me with this virus that has you," Slant replied. "You and I were best mates before you were lost. Time to help you mate." All three AI's charged Xana as the teens crawled into the elevator and went down.
--
"Shit shit shit shit," Odd said. He was running as fast as he could. But the Kolossus was a large distance ahead. "If I don't get there, Scott's screwed. I wish I had my overboard."
"Wish granted Odd," Jeremie said.
"What?" Odd said as he stopped. His overboard appeared next to him. "When did you get on the controls?"
"A lot of towers activated. We came to the factory and Xana was there. Three of the guardians came to fight him. We need to deactivate the tower in sector five. But why are you guys in the new place?"
"Too long a story to tell now. Just get who ever is closest to the tower here in. Get everybody else to fight. Other wise we are all fucked." He cocked his arrow launcher.
--
"I don't think we're going to make it," Sissi said.
"You're right," Lee replied. "But I think I know a way to help whoever is closer to the creature." He stopped running to the tower and clapped both of his hands together.
--
"Did you see that?" Scott said.
"Yeah I did," Jaden replied. "Whatever the hell that is, it just tripped on a rock. That came from the ground."
"Jaden?" Jeremie asked.
"Jeremie?"
"Who is that with you? I can't read their player card."
"Um." Jaden looked at Scott. "You wouldn't believe me if I said anything."
"Just say who."
"It's Scott. His father was right. We need to hit the button in the tower." Jeremie had no reply to that.
"We need you to tell us how many hit points we have left," Scott said. "There was a big explosion. That's why nobody is close by."
"Right." They heard him typing. "As far as I can tell, everybody is at half. Wait. I got three other signatures than I know about."
"I can tell you who," Scott replied. "They are me, me, and Sissi."
"What?"
"Sissi came here to help Scott," Jaden answered. "And Scott's other personalities got their own bodies. It's really weird." There was a crash over the intercom. "Jeremie?"
"Jeremie isn't here boy," came Xana's voice. "I'll be here for a short time."
--
"Xana," Jeremie said. "Please don't do this." He was on the floor on the opposite side of the room as the elevator. Xana had thrown him there, breaking his arm in the process.
"Don't do what?" Xana replied. "I'm only helping." He let out an evil laugh. He typed on the keyboard a command that Jeremie only knew about because it had been in Franz Hoppers diary.
"Stop virus," came the pirate voice from earlier. Slant jumped on to him from the vent shaft. "Did you think that you had beaten us all when you left?" He began to hit Xana with the butt of a broken looking gun.
"Get the fuck off of me." Xana shoved Slant so hard, he flew into the ceiling and dented it. Slant took a rapier out from his waistband and began swiping it at Xana. "Too slow pal." He stepped out of the way of every swing.
"Sorry I'm late," Jake said as he walked through the door of the main factory. "Had to take care of something important." He grabbed Slant by the top of his hair and lifted him up.
"It's about time you stupid fuck," Xana said. "I had to fight them all. Now prepare the scanners for my upload."
"As you wish sir," Jake answered. He punched Slant hard enough to knock him out.
