Xana and Riya, The Hunt for Mizu
Chapter 6
As the scanner whirred into life Kelly took a deep breath knowing what her mission was and being extremely prepared went over the plan she had quickly formed whilst on her way to the factory, while Kelly entered Lyoko Grace signalled Xana and informed him about what happened .
"right I'm on my way" Xana said leaving the tower and moving along the Ice sector heading towards where Kelly would appear
Andy wanted to head into Lyoko and go and talk to Kelly but Grace stopped him saying that right now Kelly need some time; but the look on everyone's face was saying the same thing, that Kelly had just changed the plan and they could now be one person down before the battle even starts.
Kelly appeared into Lyoko; the tears gone but she still felt sad and would have cried had Lyoko been programmed that way, she felt her body begin changing, the power level began generating energy inside her and slowly allowed her to access her third form, she could feel the change better this time, the change let her experience what she would become before she would change and begin attacking everything.
Xana ran quicker noticing the small pink dot that began to grow in size, Xana quickly recognized the ability because it was one he had only just been able to access it himself, the ability was a data form as Xana had called it, Xana knew to stop it he'd have to use it himself.
Kelly's form took shape though it was not as well formed as other ones, it was a humanoid mass formless other than two burning red eyes, the shaped turned towards Xana and shot out an arm which stretched and came closer than Xana liked, what had blocked the attack was a white shield made of data and behind that shield was not just Xana but Mizu.
"ah brother good to see you, shame about this though" Mizu said keeping a sly smile that made Xana think that he may have caused this
"I'm sure you know more about this than I do" Xana said focusing two black data spheres around his hands
"true, but I did try to reveal her potential earlier but she just refused, and now look she can control it and is lashing out at her own friend" Mizu said strengthening the shield as Kelly took several more shots at both Xana and Mizu.
Kelly dived forward and spun using the energy to turn into a drill that pierced the shield and made both Xana and Mizu leap a long distance away keeping close together in case she came around.
"the only way to stop this is either seal her powers or to beat her into unconsciousness" Mizu said keeping a watch on Kelly's movement
"I'm guessing you'd favour the latter" Xana said
"how could you think that, her power is brilliant and there's very little chance of us actually being able to out do her in this situation" Mizu quickly commented, keeping Xana unsure of his actual intentions
Mizu clicked his fingers and three diamond shapes appeared, "all you have to do is keep her distracted while I inwardly invert her powers, this way she'll be unable to actually use the energy she has to form that creature
Xana nodded; the first time in a while he'd agreed with Mizu, both moved quickly Xana charged Kelly and managed to tackle her knocking the creature over; then pinning it down and keeping her from using energy blasts, Mizu quickly began forming a seal as the crystals went into Kelly's form and began draining her power
Kelly knew what was happening; quickly blasting Xana off her and then spinning around and smacking Mizu into the ground, standing up and forcing the diamonds from herself; which quickly returned to circling Mizu
Kelly began her assault again smashing two separate fists into Xana and Mizu neither of who could get up; both of them were drained, it took a lot of data to use the forms and even more to attempt what Mizu was doing
As the third smash came down and Xana could feel himself begin to be destroyed Kelly suddenly disappeared into the ice underneath her which had become water and made her lose balance
Water encased both Mizu and Xana and restored a small portion of energy to both despite the owner of the power saying he didn't want to heal the enemy; Andy had entered Lyoko a few minutes earlier and been using the water to hide himself from view, he'd intended to surprise Kelly and assist Xana and then hopefully allow him and Xana to double team Mizu.
The trio stood watching a pinkish glow begin to get bigger as Kelly emerged from the water launching herself into the air then holding herself in the air with only a small amount of power which impressed both Mizu and Xana; neither could do half of what Kelly was doing in such a quick time.
Back in the factory everyone was watching the battle; Riya wanted to go and help knowing that her powers were close to Xana, Mizu and Andy's but Grace refused to let any more members into the battle. Andy moved to hold Kelly in place trying to keep her attention by assaulting her with weak but continuous attacks.
Mizu and Xana pooled their powers focusing on Kelly and started the difficult process of reversing Kelly's powers; Andy kept talking to her to buy them time but he knew that it would only take a minute for Kelly to notice what was happening.
As the power seeped away, a voice began to shout loudly, Andy was the only one to recognise it as Kelly's everyone else heard a roar of anger and pain, "stop it" Kelly shouted turning towards Xana and Mizu.
Kelly dived towards the pair as Andy moved bringing up ice in front of Kelly to slow her down which had little effect as Kelly's form was hot enough to melt through and slam into the pair just beyond the wall. Andy smiled as his plan had worked the wall was just a distraction and a warning sign for Xana and Mizu to move which allowed them to keep draining the energy which was dropping quickly.
"stop it…stop him" Kelly said; which made Andy hesitate for a few seconds as Kelly seemed to be trying to warn them against something which Andy guessed quickly was Mizu but what it was made a much better question. Andy tried to get closer to Kelly and see if she said any more things but it appeared that her speech was erratic.
As Mizu and Xana began to drain the very last parts of Kelly's power; Andy found it easier to hold Kelly back as she became weaker though also more focused on Mizu; constantly heading in his direction and trying to hit him at any chance. Andy kept holding back Kelly just out of reach of Mizu and Xana who managed to finally cancel out Kelly's power.
Kelly fell forward and was caught by Mizu who quickly teleported to a far distance and held Kelly up by her neck, "well done the pair of you" Mizu said adding a laugh as a small ball of pink energy began to appear from Kelly and slowly went to Mizu's other hand.
"you have no idea of how long I've waited for this power, playing poor Kelly and forcing her to produce all of that at once was extremely difficult, from the first time she used her power I took an interest pushing it to the limit." Mizu looked at Kelly then back towards Xana and Andy both of whom were trying to work out a way to attack Mizu without harming Kelly but it would be difficult as Mizu wasn't going to let them get near.
"you see, a lot of things lately have been falling in to place all beginning your end, and with this final part I can finally move onwards and out of this ridiculous place. The group of you have been so easy to manipulate and because of that you are no longer necessary" Mizu said finishing his sentence by throwing Kelly at Andy who fell backwards as he caught her.
Mizu disappeared and placed Kelly's energy into the same machine that had drained the group's power before when they rescued William and Jeremy, as the energy flowed into the machine Mizu stepped into a pod and prepared for the transfer to begin.
Grace brought Andy and Kelly out of Lyoko and told Xana to head for a tower as she believed that things were about to go badly for the team; Lyoko rattled and rocked cracking as the seams began to separate and caused even the factory to shake. A look went around the team from the older team to the younger one.
The world outside began to shift and caused everyone to panic as Lyoko and the real world began to merge, Kadic exploded as a large blue ball grew out of it and sector five replaced what had been the main dorms. Long pillars grew out of it, areas of Lyoko became parts of the real world causing the ground to crack and towers to appear.
Within the factory the groups began to take the shape of their Lyoko forms which slightly excited the new group but then it worried them as they saw the face of the old team who were all shocked and one was extremely scared.
As one of the final towers began to appear a person stepped out of it and quickly broke into a run, he knew what was happening as he had wanted to try this plan ages ago, but had never been able to though he had given the information of the plan to various people so that in case it was ever successful they would know what to do.
But Xana was in the centre of it and could see the main place where he had to go to separate Lyoko from earth but first he had to go to the factory and gather the rest of the team as this was the final trick up Xana's sleeve and know Mizu had brought it into the world.
The problem was that the plan wasn't as brilliant as it seemed while it did give the person more power over Lyoko or the hybrid that was now being created, it meant that everything became unstable and would start to collapse, without constant source of power it would fall apart quickly.
The teams rushed outside as their Lyoko forms finished applying themselves; Andy was carrying Kelly who was still drained from the fight, and as every looked on they could see what was happening long before Xana appeared to tell them.
Grace created the vehicles of the team with some help from Xana and even found the vehicles for the old team in the system. Each team broke away knowing what Mizu's plan was and split up to take on each are.
Grace and Yumi headed towards the Mountain sector.
Ulrich and John headed for the Forest sector.
Andy went to place Kelly along with Jeremy and William then head to the Ice sector.
Emily went to cover the Desert sector.
Xana and Riya headed for the fifth sector to try and stop Mizu and send Lyoko back.
While finally Odd went off following a pink trail that he swore he could hear a familiar voice coming from.
So finally done with chapter six and now down to the final 3 chapters to go and not it's all going to be a massive battle between Mizu and the teams. So next chapter is "Countdown pt1"
