So here we are…chapter 8, um uh I wasn't expecting to get this far and uh…well in any event here you go. Sorry this took so long I've had horrible writers block and I really have trouble making filler chapters, so again I'm sorry for the delay.

The Only easy day was yesterday part 2

Imagine (if you can) this is like one of those old TV shows were it highlights key parts of the show

(Previously on code lyoko)

"Mike if you truly want to go through with this you need to promise one thing before you go, you need to promise never to revel this secret we are the only one's who know about this"

"Yes Jeremie I accept your terms"

"Transfer mike" he attempted to load a new character card, but an error symbol came up, the card immediately jumped back to when he was first virtualized onto lyoko by xana, and It got worse xana had hacked the virtualization program and was auto loading mike in, not only that but he would most likely trying to take mike over again. There was nothing he could do xana had completely locked out

"Xana? Right. Well you've entered my mind for the last time we end this here and now"

"STRIKE CLAW" I slash again going for his chest and again my blade misses it mark, going strait through with no effect.

until one strike sent her flying, she fell to the ground in a crumpled heap, she didn't move. Now there was nothing to stop him from finishing me off. He raised his blade all I

could do was get mine in his way. He swung down…

lyoko desert sector

a terror inducing roar rolled across land, odd be the curious one as always stuck his head up out of cover, he eyes widened, he saw mike up and moving no just moving but attacking, his blade bounced off the shells of the tanks surrounding him, his eyes although faint, he could see them glowing. He wondered, what the hell was going on his mind.

(mike p.o.v)

"MIKE!" my eyes shot open to a glowing disk that was lodged on my blade, I looked over to my right and could see my ally standing again but this time she seemed different, she jumped up into the air and the remaining scraps of cloth dislodged it's self reveling a more battle ready look. Dressed in a full forest green ninja g.i that only showed her eyes, she landed about 10 feet behind the specter. At the same time the specters two shadow blades swung down and impacted my blade with such force that it pushed me into the ground, but amazingly enough I could feel my strength returning to me. I began to push back, the specter poured on the power but it couldn't hold me down, with a heavy diagonal slash he was pushed away. It regained its balance only to look down to find a deep glowing cut.

"Xana. For a specter you seem quite real, now I'll give you one last chance, leave my mind and never come back." The specter merely floated there, not moving or anything. It was starting to piss me off, so much so I could feel power entering into me.

"Last chance Xana, leave or die." The specter emitted what could be described as a deathly scream and launched its self right towards me, shadow blades extended and ready to cut me down.

"wrong move dumb ass" I launch myself right at it, blade extended and positioned in front. A defining pinging noise could be heard as we flew past each and stopped a few yards away. Both of us just stayed there waiting. I fell first, an agonizing pain cut through my body. Before I landed she was there holding me up off the ground, I attempted a smile but it was really difficult. I could see blood dripping from my side. The specter how ever was much worse off. The cut I had made earlier was opened even deeper, it screeched another blood boiling note before collapsing away into black smoke.

"and stay out" I managed to get out before completely blacking out.

(lyoko normal P.O.V)

"Laser Arrow" a hail of shots rained down onto the group of krabs, two immediately exploded while the others fired back. The attack had begun as soon as they herd mike had dropped again. Ulrich swung round the outcropping a full speed heading for the line of monsters. Jumping off at the last second the bike slammed into one of the legs making the krab lose its balance and fall into another next to it.

"Impact" his duel blades shredding through the symbols, around him other monsters exploded under the intense barrage. As he turned to find another target a massive shockwave flew passed knocking him down, recovering just in time to roll out of the way of a megatank that flew just inches from his head. At the epicenter of the blast a new monster rose from the smoke. Short, black as night, and a long tail, and a deadly scream that stopped everyone including xana's monsters stop in their tracks. Before the others could recover the monsters charged the new creature. Ulrich could swear he could see the monster grinning before running at speeds that would put his own super-sprint to shame. The new creature literately ran circles around everyone only stopping for but a seconds near Aelita to block a stray laser bolt.

'at least he's on our side' Ulrich thought to himself. The remainder of xana's monsters included four krabs and a single megatank stood poised to attack, oddly enough xana was allowing them to make the first move. A low rumble just behind him sent chills up his spine and when he turned he was face to snout with the creature that had protected the others, it tilted its head so its eye face him and he recognized something, the eye was a dark forest green just like…

"mike?" the monster answered back with a growl and extending his right arm showing the robotic appendage and before he could say anything else mike took off running into the formation of monsters, he was about to follow when a hand rested on his shoulder. He turned to find Aelita standing behind him shaking her head.

"let him go, he needs it." Ulrich could only look on as mike ripped through the krabs and knocked the tank around like it was a ball, at one point playing volleyball with himself before sending it flying into the digital sea. As mike slowly returned he transformed back into human form, walked a few more steps before completely collapsing to the ground with a defining thud.

"shoot, jeremie bring us back in quick." Aelita said almost too quickly. Soon everyone included a still unconscious mike were back in the real world, during the ride back up to the main lab he had mumbled something about extreme exhaustion, which gave odd an idea. Fast forward an hour and mike was in the infirmary under the cover that the gang had found him out in the forest. The gang stood around the outside the nurses office waiting for an update. When no word came for a while mostly everyone retuned to the café to grab dinner. The only on to stay back was Aelita, she had volunteered to keep an eye on him once she was let in, that would be if she was at all. For the longest of time she waited it felt like hours but every time she looked at her phone only ten minutes had passed. She was about to go when the click of the door rang through her ears. Behind her Dorothy had her head outside the door looking back at her

"Mike's stable now if you want to come in, also he was asking to see you" Aelita looked back at her

"He wanted to see me?" she said pointing to herself, Dorothy nodded and disappeared back into the room. She followed not knowing what was going to happen, 'why does mike want to see me' she thought back to lyoko ;maybe he wants to know what happened before xana released him" as she walked in she found mike sitting up on the bed with a book in hand. He was concentrating so hard on the book at first he didn't notice her. As she walked to his side he placed a bookmark in and set the book down, he turn to Dorothy and nodded, she nodded in return and left the room. Once the door closed mike turned to her.

"Aelita just tell me exactly what happened on lyoko, and don't cut anything out I just want to know." he looked down, his face turning sad.

"I just want to know, who I almost lost this time." she almost didn't know how to responded to that dark remark.

"Mike… Xana tried taking over you again but you fought it and won." he turned towards her again

" I do remember fighting xana in my mind at least I think it was him" he looked beyond her, out the window "An old friend helped out, I just wish she was actually here."

'An old friend' she thought but before she could continue mike started again

"what about after xana's hold on me broke there's a big black hole from the second I won to me waking up here. She considered not telling him about his transformation for now.

"you fainted and materialized back onto earth, and from there odd and ulrich brought you here under the cover that we had found you deep in the forest exhausted to the point that you had fainted " mike smiled. "huh figures, no wonder the nurse let me sleep it off." he looked back towards the door for a second. " I mean its not the first time that's happened to me" he laughed a bit. "I tend to push myself as hard as I can to get anything done." at that point the door opened again and Dorothy returned

"ok mike if your feeling up to it you can head out, if anything go get some food then some sleep, if you feel any pain or dizziness just come back. Ok?" he smiled at her

"No problem besides I need to call up the gang anyway." I say as I walk towards the door, Aelita in tow she smiled back. "say hi to Cherie for me would ya?" I look over my shoulder and give her a thumbs up "no problem". as we walk out towards the dorms, Aelita swings off towards the cafeteria, and moments later she returns with no one in tow.

"sorry I just wanted to tell everyone that you were up, were going to meet them in jeremie's dorm later so we can tell you exactly what lyoko is." mike simply nodded and they continued there way up to the dorms. Just a few doors down from the stairs mike stopped and produced a key from a small pocket on his shirt. The door swung open quickly revealing his 'home' the bed was against the window and the desk where the bed would have been. The room it's self was to small for a second person but there was plenty of space to put stuff. On the desk was a simple light green laptop which mike had immediately opened up along with a web cam and a few speakers. As soon as it had loaded up a window opened up showing a group of faces. Mike motioned to her to come over, she shut the door and followed him over to the desk were the group was smiling.

"Hey Mike, you late dude" one of them said. " oh shut up kyle is only been five minutes, another said.

"guys guys relax" mike paused. "sorry I'm late I was out most of the day working out I kinda knocked myself out, you know how I am. By the way this is one of one of my new friends." he motioned again and Aelita walked into the camera's field. "guys this is Aelita, she my guide to help me around the school for the week." all at once the group went into a frenzy of hellos and questions until mike stepped in again.

"whoa, guys relax she doesn't even know you guys yet let me start with the intros ok." they all agreed.

"ok on the far left is my long time friend kyle," on the screen the boy with short black hair gave a quick salute. " I've known him for about the last six years or so. He's the guy that you'd go to if you need to know anything cartoon or animated related. Next to him is his girlfriend Sara but she likes being called Suki, like kyle she knows a lot about animation also she is a bit of a physic." on the screen she waved.

"Hi Aelita, I love your hair it fit you well." Aelita smiled and thanked her. Mike started again.

"Lets see, kyle is matt around? Kyle shook his head in response "sorry mike he's working on that starwars game project thing again."

"oh well, well anyway matt is our computer wiz and he's working a video game his father left him to finish a few years ago. Alright next we have Chreie, another close friend who I met in school, and finally next to her is Paula, she's basically the closes thing to a sister I have right now." on the screen both girls waved. "I'm afraid that we'll have to cut this meeting short due to the fact that we need to go meet with some other people about this project we've got so I'll talk to all over you…say tomorrow same time?"

"sure mike no problem" kyle responded "and we'll make sure matt is with us this time so you can see how his project its going." mike nodded " ok I'll see you guys tomorrow now get back to work you've still got school." the group laughed as the link shut down. Powering down the laptop he turned to Aelita who in turn smiled back and left the room. After locking up his room the two headed down towards jeremie's dorm. As mike grabbed the handle, he hesitated. "Mike are you sure your ready" he turned back to her

"I think I'm as ready as I can be." he said, the door opened and inside sat the rest of the group. He could hear jeremie talking but he stopped as the door swung open.

"Welcome back Mike now come in and sit down because your about to hear everything we know."

Well that took forever and I'm sorry to those who are following my story. But at least I am still writing, so mike is about to learn everything about lyoko what will his reaction be and how will it effect him

Please read and review I won't update again until I get another 4 reviews
