The Champion of Lyoko
It's been a while since I last updated…anything. But oh well. It's not like anyone is waiting. But, I do promise to include a couple of good fight scenes.
Rurouni Sano
I do NOT own Code: Lyoko
But it would be kick-ass if I did.
On Lyoko, Forest Region
Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd fell from the sky and landed in various ways. Ulrich came down running, Yumi dropped down, and Odd crouched. When they saw what surrounded them, they were paralyzed with shock.
"Well, it seems that you guys were able to join the party," A voice said from behind them. Kenue appeared from behind a tree, taking out a 'new' creature. "So don't just stand there! Move it!" At this, Kenue ran and took out another of the same.
"What are these things?" Ulrich asked, as he blocked its' sword. They looked human, but they were all black and had no distinctive features. Also, they carried a sword like Ulrich's, but they were black as well.
"They're a lot like you, let me just tell you that," Kenue said, taking out another. "But, they come with a surprise." Then, he went back into the fray.
Man, this guy is good Ulrich thought as he fended off the swordsman. After beating it off, he saw that the others were doing well by themselves, so he took off after Kenue.
"Ulrich!" Jeremy shouted. "Where are you going? There are too many creatures around, and I just sent in Aelita! You have to stay with the others."
"We can take care of her ourselves, Jeremy," Yumi said, taking out a block.
"You go on, Ulrich, we can handle it," Odd said.
Ulrich nodded, then charged after Kenue.
After escaping from many near-death situations (Jeremy had long given up on trying to scold him), Ulrich caught up with Kenue. However, he was not alone.
"So, Kenue, we meet again," a tall, brown-haired woman said, wielding a long katana.
"Siyri, it hadn't been long enough," Kenue responded. "So, why are you here this time?"
"Same old, same old. Just X.A.N.A. trying to take over the world," Siyri said. "Why don't you just give it up? You know that our master will win in the end. There is not way those twerps, even with your help, will ever defeat us." She stopped, and then looked at Ulrich. "It seems that one of them has found us."
Suddenly, she jumped at him. Ulrich lifted his sword up in time, but it got knocked out of his hands. Siyri lifted her blade to defeat him, but Kenue jumped in front of Ulrich and warded the blow off. She then blew a kiss at Kenue and disappeared.
Ulrich just stood shocked at what had just happened. However, Kenue just turned around and punched the teenager.
"You fool! You could've gotten yourself killed!" he shouted.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Ulrich managed to sputter out.
"It's what you humans call a 'virus'. If she takes away your life points with her weapon, it will not devirtualize you, it will kill you." Kenue then turned around and began walking off. "Since she's gone, those other monsters should've disappeared. You go back to the others."
Just then, Ulrich found himself back in the science classroom, listening to the teacher's lecture. Sighing, he picked up his pencil and took notes for the second time that day.
Later that night, in Jeremy's room
"So, who was she?" Ulrich asked, as Kenues face appeared on the screen.
"Who?" Jeremy asked, and then saw Kenue. "You go away!"
"She is one of the five generals of X.A.N.A.," Kenue responded. "She was Siyri, and she's in charge of the Forest Sector. Each sector has a general, and each general has her own group of monsters."
"They're all girls?" Odd asked.
"Why are you so surprised, Odd?" Yumi asked, and turned to him. "Girls can be just as strong as men can."
"But have male generals would be more beneficial, wouldn't it?" he continued.
"I do not even know why all of them are girls," Kenue said as Jeremy furiously clicked the x button in the corner. "You won't give up, will you?"
"Not until you go away!" Jeremy said as he kept hitting the button.
"Why don't you just turn off your computer?" Odd asked.
"I'm still working on a way to defeat X.A.N.A."
"Well, if you really want me gone," Kenue said. "Then I'll go. But then, you won't know what to do about the five generals. Go to bed, and I'll let you know in the morning."
"Why?" Aelita asked her natural curiosity piqued.
"It is late, for one, and you humans need rest; Especially you Jeremy," Kenue replied. "And two, you'll need clear heads when I explain this to you. It might get a bit confusing." Kenue then disappeared. And so did all of Jeremy's work.
"What the?" Jeremy said, and tried to reboot the computer. "He's taken control of it!"
"Not surprising. He seems to be similar to X.A.N.A. in some ways," Ulrich said.
"Maybe he is really trying to help us," Yumi said. "I agree, we should get to bed. We need our rest in case he attacks again. Night guys, I'm going home." Yumi then left the room, followed by Aelita.
"I guess he is right," Ulrich said, and then got up.
"You trust him, don't you?" Jeremy asked.
Ulrich hesitated, and then replied, "He saved my life. How can I not trust him?" He walked to the door and turned again. "Come on, Odd. We can't let Jim catch us again." The two other teenagers then left the room, leaving Jeremy all alone and frustrated.
Jeremy slammed his fist on the table, and removed his glasses. "Guess I should get some sleep." He then changed and got into bed. After a few hours of staring at the ceiling, he finally fell asleep.
The Next morning (Saturday)
The groups of friends were all gathered in Jeremy's room listening to Kenue as he explained the five generals.
"As I told you last night, there are five of them, one for each sector. And, again as I said before, they each have a special group of monsters. Siyri's group is a lot like you, Ulrich. They cannot, however, 'triplicate'. The other four are Jeska in the desert, she has spearmen; Gulia in the ice region, she has monks, which is one way to put it; Lura in the mountain, she has spiders; and the most powerful of them all is Fala. She doesn't have a group of monsters; she has a bit of them all, plus she protects X.A.N.A."
"They must be powerful… How were they created?" Aelita asked.
"What I want to know is why we've never seen them before," Jeremy interjected.
"Easy. I kept them and their creatures at bay. If they are distracted, they cannot direct their forces. So, with my help, you are all still alive," Kenue responded. "And as to how they were created. Like every other monster. But, they each have a part of X.A.N.A. in her."
"And you think we can trust you?" Jeremy asked.
"All right, Jeremy. You are the only one who seems to have a problem with me. So, I'll let you on a little secret. The rest of you, leave," Kenue said, a little angrily.
The other four left the room, and closed the door behind them.
"Someone has anger issues…" Odd said.
"Well, they both kinda do," Yumi said.
"Whether he likes it or not," Ulrich said. "Those two have a lot in common."
All of the others nodded in agreement. A few minutes later, the door opened.
"You guys can come in now, if you want. But Kenue is gone. I'm going to work on a way to destroy X.A.N.A., I think. I suggest you all work on your homework," Jeremy said, and started typing on the computer.
Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd all looked at each other and left, but Aelita stayed behind.
"Are you ok, Jeremy?" she asked, and approached him.
"I'm fine. You go enjoy your day off, ok?" Jeremy then turned and smiled at her. "Seriously, I'm fine. Thanks for caring, Aelita."
"No, problem Jeremy," she said, then kissed him on the cheek and left.
Interesting plot development, no? Well, not as good as I was hoping, but it's still good, right?
