Me: Hey guys I'm back with the next Chapter! :D Sorry I took a while but I had a lot going on in my personal life where I couldn't even focus on uploading for a while, but I'm back for now! I would like to thank RockinPurpleSarah for reviewing the last Chapter. You rock! :D Now on with the story! :D

Chapter 7: Project X.A.N.A.

Days after what happened at the lake, I was back in the Tampa factory figuring out what's going on. Two seats with every factory? A Tower in Sector 5? What is going on here?! I held my head as I typed some more then heard the elevator go off.

"So this is where you've been huh?" Stephen asked as he walked in and walked over to the other seat and started working.

"Yeah something has been keeping me awake." I told him.

"Me too." Stephen said. "It doesn't make sense though about X.A.N.A. The Original Lyoko Warriors destroyed him 10 years ago, or so the legend goes. How could he have returned?"

"According to the two seats in every factory, house or whatever, I think somebody brought back X.A.N.A." I told him.

"That's what I'm thinking but how though? Your dad sacrificed himself to keep X.A.N.A. from coming back and everyone else turned off the Super Computers to keep him away." Stephen said typing and looking around Lyoko.

"That's just it though. Somebody must have turned on the Super Computers and made a program and bring back X.A.N.A." I said.

"Question is though, who and why?" Stephen asked as he typed more. "Project X.A.N.A.?"

"Project X.A.N.A.?" I asked typing.

"I'm trying to hack into it but it's going to take a while." Stephen told me. "You better head home and head back to bed."

"You sure?" I asked him.

"Hey, I was an IT, I think I can figure this out." He smiled at me as I went over and kissed his cheek.

"Love you." I smiled as I went to the elevator and went down it and went home.

Normal POV

"This is a nice place." Christa smiled as her and Jon were in a restaurant in Vegas.

"Nothing special." Jon shrugged.

"Are you kidding me?! It's amazing!" She smiled at him. "Looks so nice."

"Thanks Christa." Jon smiled as they got their orders taken. "Afterwards we can hit the slots."

"Sounds like a plan." Christa smiled. "No X.A.N.A. attacks for days."

"Not since the other day where I joined." Jon smiled as they waited on their food.

"So how's it like being a Lyoko warrior?" Christa asked smiling at him.

"Eh, like fighting in a ring, only with powers." Jon shrugged.

"At least you have powers, I only got fans to help me out." Christa chuckled.

"Maybe you need to figure out your powers more because I think you do have more than just your fans." Jon said.

"Maybe you're right." Christa said as they got their drinks then taking a sip. "Maybe next time on Lyoko I'll try to figure out more of my powers."

"Come on come on." Stephen said trying to hack into Project X.A.N.A. "This is gonna take all night…and we have tours to go on…" He said tiredly trying to hack in it again. "Come on…" He said trying again and got into it this time. "Perfect!" He smiled as he typed more looking into the Program. "Hmmmmm he was reborn recently but not as strong as before." He thought typing then something came up.

"Not now!" He yelled as a tower was activated and his watch went off. "Perfect timing!" He growled as he called up Joslin and Fergal.

"Hello? Chelsea? Stephen? We're on our way!" Joslin said.

"Thank god." He sighed. "Anything happening on your end?" He asked.

"Doesn't look like it." Fergal said.

"Good." Stephen said. "I'll see you here and I'll transfer Jon and Christa from Vegas." He said hanging up.

"This looks so good!" Christa smiled as they got their food.

"Dig in my dear." Jon smiled as he almost took a bite of his burger but his Black Apple watch started going off. "Oh no…"

"Is there-" Christa was about to ask but her watch was going off as well. "Activated tower."

"Let's go." Jon said as they got up but stopped as a group of guys in suits got up and started attacking and shocking everybody.

"Oh no…" Christa said as her phone rang and she answered it. "Stephen, we have a problem."

"So X.A.N.A. launched the attack on your end huh?" Stephen asked.

"Looks like it." Christa said.

"Christa, you go, I'll stay here!" Jon said.

"But Jon!"

"Christa somebody has to stay behind and keep these X.A.N.A. cronies at bay! I'll be fine I promise, now go!" He yelled as Christa went to hug and kiss him.

"I love you." She said softly.

"I love you too." Jon said. "Now go!" He said as she nodded and ran towards the exit but one of the guys was blocking her way and walked towards her.

"What do you think you're doing buddy?!" Jon tackled the guy down and held him down. "Christa run!" He yelled as she ran out of the restaurant.

"Stephen, I'm heading towards the factory!" Christa yelled as she got in her car and drove off fast.

"Good, I'm sending you the directions to the Vegas factory on your watch so you know where it's at." Stephen said typing in something then sending it to Christa's watch.

"I got it, thanks Stephen." Christa smiled hanging up

"Stephen. We're here." Joslin's voice was heard as he sent the map to Christa.

"Good, I'll start up the process." Stephen said as they got down to the scanners and started up the program. "Transfer Joslin! Transfer Fergal!" He said typing. "Scanner Joslin! Scanner Fergal!" He said more as he pushed a button. "Virtualization." He said as he sent them to Lyoko.

Soon as Joslin and Fergal got virtualized, they jumped down and looked around.

"Stephen where are we?" Joslin asked.

"Mountain Sector." Stephen said sending the Overwing to them and Joslin got on. "Tower is north west of you. Fergal, you might want to get on since there's not a lot of space for you to use Super Smoke."

"Got it." Fergal said getting on the Overwing and holding on to Joslin and riding off.

"So, you think you can lay a hand on my girl huh?" Jon growled keeping the guy down but then he smirked and shocked Jon, sending him flying and screaming and crashed into a table and knocked it over.

"Damn…" He groaned as he saw the guys walk towards him. "Bring it on." He smirked.

"We should almost be at the tower." Joslin said as they saw shots fired towards them.

"Careful guys, there's wasps heading your way!" Stephen said.

"Thanks for the warning." Fergal said half sarcastically as smoke appeared and turned into his sword and he used it as a shield while Joslin drove the Overwing near the tower. "Better find land soon."

"I'm trying." Joslin said as they finally found land and the tower was on the other side of it. "I got this." She said as two balls of energy was in her hands. "Energy Field!" She yelled as she threw them at the wasps and got them.

"Nice one Jos!" Fergal smiled as the third one flew towards them but he killed it with his sword.

"You too." Joslin smiled as she got back on the Overboard.

"Super Smoke!" Fergal yelled as he turned into smoke and followed them.

"Not too far now." Stephen smiled typing.

"Stephen, I'm at the factory." Joslin's voice was heard.

"Great! Where's Jon?"

"He stayed behind to handle the guys X.A.N.A. is controlling." Christa said.

"That works, head toward the scanners, I'll transfer you into Lyoko." Stephen said as he typed. "Fergal, Joslin. I'm sending Christa your way."

"Sounds good to us." Joslin smiled as they flew towards the tower but the Overboard got shot and she fell down.

"Joslin!" Fergal getting up.

"I'm ok." Joslin said looking at the tower. "Looks like the Welcoming Committee is here, and I'm not talking about my sister." She said as there were five blocks blocking the tower.

"That doesn't look good." Stephen said.

"Yeah no shit Stephen." Joslin said.

"Come and get me bastards." Jon growled as he got behind the table then threw it at them and started running, eventually getting in the kitchen and closing the door. After he caught his breath, he grabbed his phone and called Stephen.

"Stephen, I think I got X.A.N.A.'s cronies under control." Jon said.

"Think you can go to the factory?" Stephen asked.

"By the way things look, I don't think I can." Jon said. "Think they can handle without me?"

"I think so." Stephen said. "Keep me updated if you can."

"Will do." Jon said hanging up and looking out the window of the door.

"Joslin, stay behind me." Fergal said as they watched the blocks. "If you get devirtualized, nobody can deactivate the tower."

"Got it." Joslin said as she stayed behind Fergal.

"When I say attack, attack the block I stun." Fergal said as Joslin nodded her head as he made a ball of smoke appear in his hands and threw it at one of them stunning them. "Attack!"

"Energy Field!" Joslin yelled throwing one at the stunned Block making it disappear. However the other four started firing at them with Fergal using his sword to shield them.

"Ok this is harder than we thought." Fergal said.

Over at the restaurant, Jon grabbed a sharp knife and held on to it as the guys banged at the door.

"Don't know how much longer I can keep them busy." Jon said holding the knife as they tried knocking down the door some more. "Get that tower deactivated soon guys…"

"We're never gonna get through." Joslin said as they kept shooting at them.

"We will, promise." Fergal said as a Block appeared behind them and started charging up it's attack.

"Behind you!" Stephen yelled as they turned around and braced themselves but before the block could fire, something hit it and destroyed it.

"Huh?" Joslin asked looking in that direction.

"Looks like you two are in a jam huh?" Christa asked smiling on the Overboard.

"Boy we're glad to see you." Joslin smiled in relief.

"But we have four of them left to deal with." Fergal said still shielding them.

"Let me try something." Christa said as she looked at a rock standing up by two of the blocks and she focused on it as it all of a sudden, got lifted then it got thrown towards the two, destroying those two. "Whoa…"

Joslin blinked a few times before speaking up. "Christa, did you do that?"

"Yeah, I did." She smiled "I have a power other than a weapon."

"If you two don't mind, we have two more blocks to destroy and Joslin has to get to the tower." Stephen said.

"He's right, Jon is in danger." Christa said sounding scared and worried.

"Danger?" Joslin asked.

"Long story." Christa said looking forward. "Ok I'll distract them and try to get one. Fergal you get the other one."

"Got it." Fergal said as Christa flew off and around the blocks.

"Hey guys, looking for someone?" Christa asked as the blocks started shooting at her but she threw one of her fans at one destroying it but missing the other. "Fergal now!" She yelled.

"Super Smoke!" He yelled turning into smoke and quickly going towards the other block then getting up and pushing his sword down on one of the Eyes of X.A.N.A. and destroying it. "It's clear Josllin!"

"I'm coming!" She yelled running towards the tower then entering it.

"Here they come." Jon said as the guys banged on the door more until it eventually got broken down and they stared at Jon, lightning bolts coming out of them. "Come at me bitches!" He yelled as he ran towards them.

Stepping in the middle, Joslin flew up to the higher platform and stepped on it and waited a second until the screen came up and she touched it with it saying her name, followed by Code: Lyoko.

"Tower Deactivated." She said.

Meanwhile Jon was about to stab at the guy about to touch him but he froze when they suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" One of the guys asked rubbing his head.

"I have a headache." Another guy groaned.

"Why is that guy about to stab us?" A third guy asked.

"I would explain but…" Jon smirked.

"Return to the past now!" Stephen said pressing a button sending them back in time.

Chelsea's POV

"Ok was there a X.A.N.A. attack?" I asked Stephen as he and I were back at the factory after I went to bed.

"Didn't your watch go off?" Stephen asked typing.

"I must have been sleeping pretty well." I told him scratching the back of his head.

"Well I managed to hack into Project X.A.N.A." Stephen said as he started typing. "A few things I noticed is that one, return to the past won't make it stronger so we'll be good this time."

"That's good." I smiled. "I was worried about that."

"Two, he appears weaker than it was last time but I don't know if that's temporary or not." Stephen said typing. "Three, there's a way to destroy it before he gets stronger."

"There is?!" I asked as I smiled.

"Yeah." Stephen said. "I'll need Joslin to get some data from Sector 5 but it can be done."

"We can end this quickly!" I smiled as he frowned. "What's the matter?"

"It may be easier said than done." Stephen said frowning then turning toward the screen.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I put my hand on his shoulder and he looked down.

"X.A.N.A. is being controlled this time."

Me: UH OH! What a twist! Who could be controlling X.A.N.A. this time?! Looks like Christa discovered a new Power in Lyoko and Jon was...ok against X.A.N.A.'s cronies. Lol. Read and Review Everybody! :D
