Hey everyone I'm back, ah . . . sorry for not updating sooner, I've had to deal with some problem around the family and having writers block doesn't help either but like I said I'm back. For how long you ask. Well actually I don't know, well anyway here is by far the longest chapter I've ever wrote. Enjoy!!
The Untold Story Chapter 5:
Clash: Prehistoric Nightmare
(Flash back)
"There. That's the last of the modifications to the super-scan we should be able to detect active towers in sector 5 now" just as Jeremie finished the scan pick up an active tower almost immediately
"quick lets get to the factory" the others followed not knowing what xana had up his sleeve this time
(end flash back)
Arriving at the factory the Aelita, Jeremie and Yumi were worried, so far nothing had stopped them from getting here and yet nothing was on the news or anything, no activity around the school as well, something was definitely wrong. Descending down the elevator to the computer room was just like normal but what they found there was not.
(Yumi's P.O.V)
As the door opens we find ourselves almost face to face with one of Xana's polymorphic specters, the moment it saw us it dissipated into a thick black smoke before entering into the computer. Jeremie quickly ran to the computer while the rest of us waited by the elevator. After a quick look over Jeremie called the rest of us over, huddled around the monitors we watched as he scanned the area looking for the exact spot of the active tower. For a time the scan picked up nothing and even as the elevator descended again we knew it was the others. As the door opened odd and ulrich dashed in with confused looks on their faces.
"Why aren't you guys on lyoko yet?, or has xana called of his attack." Jeremie look to the others and shook his head.
"I don't know what xana's up to but when we got here there was a polymorphic specter and the controls but it disappeared as soon as we entered." At that moment the scan picked up the activated tower, currently it was at the far end of the ice sector.
"hmm looks like xana's gotten soft only William and a hand full of monsters are there, get going I'll send you in." we simple nodded and ran for the elevator. Down in the scanner room, odd, ulrich and I entered in the scanners, closing behind us a bright light filled the small tubes
"Transfer Odd ,Transfer Ulrich , Transfer Yumi " Jeremie spoke the commands that his fingers followed easily. "virtualization" a blast of air flew through the tube and in an instant we were gone.
(Normal P.O.V)
Landing in lyoko's polar sector was no different than any other time, off in the distance in front of the tower stood William once a Lyoko warrior turned rogue thanks to xana's corruption, he was now leading the forces against his once former friends. But today was different, today he had a new pet xana had so graciously brought from the real world, he looked down at the sleeping form of an what looked to be an ancient and deadly predator, Xana knew he needed to throw the Lyoko warriors off there game so he would resurrect this beast and use his power to eliminate them. This was but a test to see if he would work.
"Arise warrior" his voice dark and filled with evil. On the ground the beast cracked an eye and a low growl escaped his mouth, as he rose a ray of light reflected off his arm and a small portion of his head just above the right eye. He stood like a human on two legs but the rest of him didn't look that way. His body was covered with a black scaled suit of sorts, around his head he wore a second head that overlapped the first, the mouth was lined with razor sharp teeth, and his right eye was encased in metal as was the right side of the head. On his right arm he wore a long blade that ended just after his wrist.
"what is the order, lead." He said his voice not as deep as williams, he looked around as if this was his first time in the environment.
"you are to protect this tower there will be a group that will try and kill you. . .show no mercy. The beast nodded.
"It shall be done" his blacked eye's dart around as if thinking. In the distance he could see a group of digital beings entering into the area, his eyes narrowed as he sunk into a lowered stance. He charged head long strait into the group. As he approached the beings looked surprised so much so they dove to the sides as he had come through, he turned as straitened up into a standing potions. The group looked at him like he'd just broke the world recorder for scaring the carp out of people. He looked at them for a moment before raising his blade high into the air before yelling.
"STRIKE CLAW" as he slammed down the blade toward the ground another set of blades blocked their descent stopping the attack cold in its path. He looked into the warrior's eyes, a fighting sprit lay just under but a small spark showed it was still there, he put more power into his strike forcing him down towards the ground, but before his move could hit a blast of energy hit him sending him flying only to have him back flip and skid to a stop with nothing but a low growl to be herd.
(Aelita p.o.v)
"Thanks Aelita, I owe you one" I nod towards ulrich as if saying 'anytime' but my attention was drawn back to the problem at hand, Xana seems to have gained a new ally, 'that attack the 'strike claw' it looked as if he wasn't using a lot of power' but before I could think about it any longer he charged again almost literally flying right past us, 'he fast, faster than any of us'
"Jeremie any idea how we can take care of this guy" I keep my eye on him making sure he didn't catch us off guard again. Jeremie's voice cut through the silence
"Are you sure there's only one monster there?" his question came with confusion.
"Yes Jeremie I only see one, I'm sure of it". What ever it is was now sitting on the ground directly in the way of the tower's path way.
"That's real strange I have three different signals coming from him, what could that mean?" odd raised his arm and pointed at the enemy, a clicking noise of sorts could be herd as he moved his hand along his wrist
"Well who cares, he's just sitting there, I'm gonna take him out. LASER ARROW"
three arrows launched away from his glove heading for a dead on hit. The monster merely raised his blade into the path of the arrows, as they impacted with a loud 'clanging' sound, the arrows just sunk into the metal.
"ah what just happened" odd looked back to the others for an answer but he got another from behind him
"I think these are yours, so… catch" the warrior had risen from the ground and had his arm pointed out. The blade opened at the end and three projectiles launched at nearly impossible speeds, if it wasn't for odd's cat like reflexes the first two rounds would have hit but the third caught him just above the shoulder, reflexively he threw his hand up at his neck as he devitalized away.
"Now that, that little annoyance is out of the way… where were we?" he slowly walked toward the others with his blade stretched out behind him.
(unknown P.O.V)
About ten yards away from these 'digital beings' I stopped and lowered into a fighting stance that seemed familiar to me but I couldn't remember from where I learned it, The remaining three enemies were directly in front of me just asking to be deleted, that sharpshooter that I took out earlier must have frightened them so much that they don't want to attack, 'hehe it's time we end this . . . '
I start walking toward them again quickly building up speed. With my blade out parallel to my body I yell
"STRIKE CLAW LEVEL 2" I feel my self pick up even more speed but to me everything was moving in slow motion, My blade extends out to almost double it's normal size, as is literally fly by the beings my blade makes contact and as I spin out to examine my handy work. I see them watch in horror as the samurai that had stopped my attack earlier fell to the ground in two pieces, But my, mission wasn't over yet, I run back at them again this time jumping and spinning like a bullet flying from the barrel of a gun screaming at the top of my lungs
"STRIKE CLAW LEVEL 3" my blade extends again but this time with a twist. Hard to see in the spinning furry, two short blades had extended from the wrist at forty-five degree angles recreating an almost perfect match to my master's mark. I thrust my blade forward, my target frozen by fear had her internal origins rearranged before disappearing into small digital particles, after blasting through her I slide to a stop but not fast enough to stop myself from crashing into an ice formation, but before I could recover another blast of energy similar to the blast early sent me deeper into ice. I could feel my body shaking. 'dam, this ice is cold, I HATE the cold" I spin round to exit my hole I had made to find it wasn't there?
"WHAT THE HELL?" on the outside I could see a figure move her arms and fly up into the sky.
'THAT LITTLE, THAT'S IT NOW IM ANGRY, I reeled my arm-blade back and slammed onto the ice cracking it
'hehe it won't be long now"
(Normal P.O.V)
As Aelita flue through the digital sky, she made a beeline for the tower. In her way stood two tarantulas and William. Charging up energy in both her hand she dove on Xana's forces like a WWII fighter-bomber
"Energy Field" the attack flew down at lighting speed, the first hit a tarantula, causing it to reel up on its hind legs and explode, while the other just harmlessly bounced off the sector and away from the battle. The remaining monster raised its two lazer cannons and spit out deadly ruby red projectiles all aimed for Aelita. Halting here dive just as she was about to hit the ground, she climbed again over another ice formation out of sight for the time being.
Back at the ice cave the dark creature reeled back again and slammed the ice with his blade. It cracked even more 'one more time should do it' but he didn't have to. An explosion rocked the cave, through the far wall a blast of pink energy rocketed passed just barley missing him creating another hole out the other side. 'Well… that was convenient, time to finish my mission' jumping out through the far wall he ran at full speed back toward the tower
"Jeremie is there anything more you can tell us about this monster?" after all being devitalized in a matter of seconds from each other, everyone had made it up to the super computer and now huddled around watching the battle unfolded.
"So far I haven't gotten to much information, but I did hack into the signals and I'm tracing them as we speak but for some reason the link is going to sector five before getting back to the source. Just as he finished the computer beeped at him, looking over quickly he noticed something
"Aelita, watch out looks like Xana's pet got loose.
From her hidden possession atop one of the icy rocks she could see a trail of snow being thrown up behind a fast moving figure.
'it must be him, well he got out of his cage rather quickly' deploying her wings once again she dove from her hide-away back down toward the tower, another attack charged and ready.
"Energy Field" she shouted as the ball flew away on an intercept course with xana's pet. At the last second, from aelita's point, he raised his blade to block the attack. The energy played over his arm and vanished, flying closer she could see a smirk on his face, pointing the blade back at her he calmly said.
'Dark Matter' a black energy mass leaped out engulfing the flying elf, collapsing her wings and forcing her to the ground where the mass solidified into a rock.
'I can't move this is now good' Aelita thought to her self as William and the dino like monster approached her
"Good job raptor you have done well" William said, raptor merely nodded in response, he turned toward Aelita so he was looking her in the face. In the split second he looked into her eyes she saw his eyes change. Gone were the black masses that covered his eyes, in there place where a pair of softer forest-green eyes. The Symbol that once shown on his chest also changed, from xana's darkness to a full while moon with a picture of a dinosaur on it.
"Now Raptor finish her" He looked over at him and frowned. Raptor just stood there looking at her.
"Raptor, I said FINSH HER, FINISH HER NOW" in response to his out break raptor swung his blade around to decapitate her. Aelita closed her eyes waiting for the end, but instead she felt the full force impact on the rock. Opening her eyes she saw william backing up in complete surprise, charging in after him, raptor swung his blade around only to be blocked by the huge blade he used as his weapon. She watched as the two exchanged blows, amazed at the fact neither had been devirtulized and raptor seem to be gaining the advantage. He swung with his arm blade again but this time william dodge it throwing raptor off balance, before he could recover he was blasted back by a powerful roundhouse kick slamming him into the rock mass where she was trapped. Raptors eyes were closed apparently knocked out and Aelita got her first good look at his blade like weapon, But unlike what the others had said the blade was not a blade at all, it was only his arm, a fully robotic arm (think of Sonny from I-Robot that's how I envisioned it). William approached smirking and without regret sunk his blade through raptor body. Nothing but a small grunt exited from his body as the blade was removed, he slumped forward falling with only the sickening sound of a body falling dead to accompany him.
Looking from raptor to william and back Aelita could only imagine who he was, when she had first seen the polymorphic clone and then raptor she could only guess Xana had brought someone from earth to fight them. Looking at raptor again she couldn't believe what she was seeing, Raptor was glowing a soft pink almost like Yumi when she was using her telekinesis.
Up in the computer lab the others just like Aelita were amazed, Raptors character card was glowing as was the strength of one of the signals that was transmitting out of him.
"What's going on" Yumi said before the light from the computer intensified blinding everyone
Raptor awakes to find himself in what looked to be like a giant family room, standing up he looks around the room only to find someone sitting in a chair, a girl to more precise, with long brunette hair reaching halfway down her back, the chair spun around giving a better look at her, along with her deep blue eyes she wore an oversize sweatshirt and a pair of jeans, she smiled at him and got up and walking over to him, she was a full head shorter so he settled down on a knee to he could look her eye to eye.
"So am I dead" he said. The girl giggled a little before placing her hand on top of his non metallic one.
"Far from it my brother" she smiled again before continuing "you're being reborn" his eyes opened as wide as they could in realization.
"So I did die, but why, why am I getting a second chance when you didn't" his eyes begin to fill with tears that she skillfully wiped away with her sleeve.
"Because you have a bigger purposes to fulfill", she paused considering her next words.
"There are still many people that need you help out there and I don't think they'll take it as well as you did, when someone close to you died" a small tear formed in her eye that slid down her face and landed on his hand, a warm aura engulfed raptor as she backed away
"Remember me raptor and it will give you the strength to pull through, I know you can do it" raptor blacked out again with her smile as the last thing he saw. Deep inside a small spark lit up, growing into a raging inferno, he could felt the power growing now only to release it.
Raptor's eyes flew open and the aura that surrounded him expanded out in a massive shockwave, rising from the ground something seemed different he looked down at his arms, instead of have all ten digits he only had three larger claws, a mental image of the girl he saw popped into his head fueling his power, he no longer cared around what he looked like, his only mission now was to help the elf he had imprisoned before.
(Aelita's P.O.V)
The immense energy wave that raptor had forced out launched both William and the other tarantula away, lucky for me this rock held together keeping me from suffering the same fate, in front of me stood raptor, but he definitely changed, the second head had closed on top of his normal head, while his arm had flexed and his hand had changed into claws. But by far the biggest change was the addiction of an at least three foot long tail. He looked over at me twisting his head at a weird angle before marching over; he smiled as best he could as he stabbed the blade into the rock releasing me from the prison he had put me in.
(Normal P.O.V)
Back in the lab the light had faded out and Jeremie could get back at the keyboard long enough to see that the tower had be deactivated on its own
"Aelita can you her me over" over his head set he could here laughing, definitely Aelita, no doubt about it
Just as quickly as it started it stopped and her voice could be hear through the head set
"Yes Jeremie I can hear you loud and clear" a faint growl could also be heard but he ignored it for the time.
"Ok get ready I'm starting up the devirtulization". As he started pounding out commands on the computer Aelita voice rang out again
"Jeremie what about raptor, shouldn't we materialize him as well." This coming from Aelita was strange.
"why would we bring a monster back…" but that's as far as her voice over powered his own
"He's not a monster!! He's as human as any of us, Think about it Jeremie. A polymorphic specter, raptor, are you so blind not to see he's human." Jeremie hadn't even thought of that and now he felt guilty
"I'm sorry Aelita I jumped to a conclusion that seemed logical to me and I wasn't thinking, I'll get to work on raptors materialization codes." It took a few minutes to find the code and merge it with raptors profile, but it was done.
"And here we go, Are you to ready" he asked getting a yes and low growl most likely from raptor. Down in the scanner room the other's watched as the first scanner opened up reveling Aelita. As she was helped out of it by odd she looked over at the other scanner. A small hum indicated that the scanner was coming online. The doors opened and the room filled with steam blinding everyone. As the steam cleared everyone went slack jawed in astonishment of what they saw lying there was someone no one would have expected.
So who is the mysterious raptor and what kind of chaos will he stir up find out in the next chapter of the untold story
Since this was a slight bit longer of a chapter I'm hoping for at least two reviews before I update again so bye bye for now
