A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-127 PLUS THE OVA FIRST SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! Actually, I probably don't need this anymore since Xana is Xana…
A/N Ok, starting the series back up. I'll be putting the Code Xana Episodes up still but remember they happen after 119 and not 119X. Everything after 119X does not happen in the Code Xana world! This is just me not being able to stop writing about our favorite Lyoko Warriors!
Aelita and Jeremie are in the library working on a history project. "Wow, committing genocide over land that wasn't yours, religion sure messes with people's heads." Aelita had never covered this before and it wasn't in any memories she had. "Scary, I guess it's a good thing this doesn't happen any more."
"What do you think they are doing right now?" S.S., from America, had kept up on news from home. "They've already killed over 600,000 Arabs and have actually talked about expanding the war to Iran and Syria."
"But that is the USA against Iraq."
"Yes but the dumbass in office actually told us with a straight face on camera that God told him to invade. If that's not a religious war I don't know what it. The troops may not be yelling for the Lord as they charge into battle but the leaders safe and sound in their mansions sure are."
"S.S. can we get back to this?" The project was going to be 33 of the history grade and he wanted, needed, a good grade. The teacher had allowed the students to break up into groups of two. Jeremie and Aelita, Odd and S.S. Yumi would have worked with Ulrich but he was the slave of Sissi. She was now working with Mike.
As the group works on the homework it give someone a very good idea. A black mist comes out of the light socket of a lamp at a library near by. It moves across the room and finds a certain book. The book opens up and the pages turn quickly. Xana now has an idea to send the world into a panic and maybe, just maybe, get rid of his enemies.
As the week passes the groups of students work on their projects, some slower then others. "Sissi if you helped me this would probably be done by now and you could spend your time doing your hair then!"
"If you would stop being so stubborn and use your powers it would be done then we could do something else." Sissi smiles at Ulrich. Ulrich goes back to the book he was using for sources. He did not want to do that something else or use his powers. He only used them when he was ordered to and the something else… From doing Sissi's nails to doing Sissi Ulrich did not like it.
Another group was having trouble with the partnership and work load also. "Mike if you could just set the board up and start putting the pictures up that would be great." Mike doesn't hear her as he has his headphones on and is playing with his pens like they were drum sticks. "Mike," Yumi pulls a headphone off. "Do some work or I will tell the teacher that I did all the work."
"You wouldn't do that babe. I'll do work, just, what?" Mike lost his thought when Yumi stared at him.
"Don't call me babe."
"Sorry Ba- Yumi." Mike and Yumi already had a fight the day before. Mike, and everyone else at Kadic Academy, knew that Yumi and Ulrich weren't seeing each other anymore. When Yumi asked Mike to be her partner on the project Mike took it the wrong way. Yumi had settled any thoughts of Mike's when she about smacked his nose off after a kiss.
"Start putting the pictures up on the board under the correct date. Maybe then you could add a little something to the project. How many people do you think will have music in the back round? You play drums so maybe add a little music that sounds like military marching music?"
"I play heavy metal you know that Yumi. But I guess I could. This is going to hurt my C average."
"It better not hurt my B average." Yumi whispers this under her breath.
Someone else however was not worried about the project. He had taken the ideas of one religion and was about to use them to cause chaos across the planet. Xana's first action is to turn Jeremie's laptop off with a Ghost before using the activated Tower to bring forth…
"What is going on?" At the Vatican the land starts to shake. Soon the shaking becomes stronger and the ground breaks apart. A dark red light comes from the hole and as the hole gets bigger the light gets brighter. "È questo un l'atto del dio o di Lucifer?"
"Lucifer? That is one of the names I go by." A deep low rumble comes from the hole and a large red glowing monster comes out. "Bow down to me humans and I will show you mercy." The monster gets bigger and bigger until he towers over the city of Rome. He has two horns coming from his head, a deep evil voice, and the aura of evil leaves no doubt in anyone's mind who it is.
"Satan has come to Earth! This is Armageddon!" Several religious leaders around the world are screaming this to the followers. But many of the more religious don't need to be told what is going on. Rioting has broken out in the southern United States, it has broken out in the Middle East, and chaos has broken out anywhere there were religious nut jobs.
"No, it can't be. This has to be Xana." Sanne was at home watching TV with Samantha when the show was interrupted.
"Lucifer, the Morning Star, the Dark One, Satan, whatever you may call him, has risen from Hell! The Vatican, what's left of it, has declared Armageddon!"
"Bull, there's no such thing as the Devil." Sanne calls Jeremie. "Jeremie is there an activated Tower?"
"What? No, I would have called you if there was."
"Check the Super Scan just to be sure." Jeremie goes to his bag next to the library table and gets his lap top out. He finds it is turned off. He turns it on, waits for it to load, then starts the Super Scan. "Well?"
"Just wait." The Super Scan runs but it doesn't seem to be finding an activated Tower. "Look I'm on the last Sector maybe there is one but it would be in the 5th Sector." Jeremie had been to busy with school work to get much done with being able to scan Sector 5 for activated Towers. Jeremie is about to hang up on Sanne when the Super Scan finds the Tower. "Oh, um, you're right."
"I thought so. Call the others I'm headed for the Factory with Samantha." Sanne hangs up on Jeremie and gets off the couch. Samantha makes a groaning noise. "Come on Samantha you're always complaining about being locked up in the Hermitage all day."
"Because everyone thinks I'm dead because of Xana." Samantha gets out of the chair and follows Sanne to the sewer entrance.
Around the world panic and chaos fills the streets. People riot and destroy property and each other. Fires burn in cities and animals run wild after being released. In some areas the panic is kept under control due to lack of population or high intelligence but even this is not enough to keep the ones who truly believe it is Armageddon from spreading out and destroying more.
The Lyoko Warriors get to the Factory and go down to the Control Room. When they get there the TV program is on! "What? I didn't leave it on." Jeremie goes over to the control panel. "Sanne, did you leave it on?" She shakes her head. Jeremie and the others watch the screen.
"Two, two demons appear to have been summoned." The camera zooms in on two "demons". They would not be recognized by anyone but their closest friends or enemies.
"Ulrich, no, what did they do to you?" Ulrich was larger then before with a glowing ring of energy around his neck. His body has been changed into a demonic like form but Yumi can tell exactly who it is. Yumi reaches out to the screen when it changes. "What?"
"You have to get to Lyoko." Sanne sits down in the computer chair and loads the Transfer Program. "Hurry!" Yumi and the others run to the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Samantha, Transfer Jim, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Samantha, Scanner Jim, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Mountain Sector. "Transfer Jeremie, Transfer Odd, Transfer Sandra, Scanner Jeremie, Scanner Odd, Scanner Sandra, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko. "Ready Aelita?" Sanne sees Aelita step into the middle Scanner. "Transfer Aelita, Scanner Aelita, Virtualization." Aelita lands on Lyoko as the vehicles virtualize. "Head east, the barrier is pretty big but with the vehicles it shouldn't take to long." They head east as things on Earth get even worse.
"No!" Demon Ulrich struggles as the shock collar hits him with another jolt of energy.
"Yes Ulrich, kill them, kill the pathetic humans!" Demon Sissi gives Ulrich the command again but he refuses them. This causes the shock collar to glow brighter and hit him with more energy. "Very well, I'll be the one to start this." Demon Sissi sticks her hand out and blasts a group of praying priests killing them. "See Ulrich its fun!" Demon Sissi laughs as she blasts another group of humans.
Back on Earth the Lyoko Warriors were making good time when two monsters appear. "Dragons, S.S. jump onto the Overbike so Odd and I can take care of them."
"I hate being a close combat specialist." Odd flies the Overboard over to the Overbike where Yumi and Aelita are. S.S. jumps off the Overboard and lands behind Aelita. "So Aelita is that a new perfume you're wearing?" S.S. laughs as she leans in close to Aelita to hang on. "Yumi you really need to learn how to drive!" Yumi's handling of the Overbike nearly gets S.S. thrown off the back.
"We have to get Aelita to the Tower." Yumi is leaving the others behind as she goes faster and faster.
"Jim, if you give me some room I can use my lasers to help Odd and Samantha." Jim towers over Jeremie on the Overwing as Jeremie controls it. Jim leans back a little and Jeremie turns the Overwing around. "I'll get one at least." Jeremie fires lasers as Odd fires his arrows and Samantha throws daggers.
"Never, I won't kill anyone!" Demon Ulrich is brought to his knees as another jolt of energy is sent through his body. "Stop this!"
"Why Ulrich its fun, go ahead, pull!" Demon Sissi uses her powers to send a human into the air then fires an energy bolt at the human and misses. "I need more practice." Demon Sissi uses her powers to send another person into the air and fires an energy bolt hitting them. "There we go, see, isn't that fun?"
"No, you bitch, stop this!" Demon Ulrich attacks Demon Sissi. "Stop this!" He uses an energy attack.
"Didn't that feel good? Use your powers, it feels incredible doesn't it? Use them again, feel the power course through your body." Demon Sissi taunts Demon Ulrich who does use another energy attack. "Yes, why can't you be like this in bed?" Demon Ulrich launches an even more powerful energy attack finally causing pain to Demon Sissi.
Back on Lyoko Jeremie is celebrating after hitting a Dragon on the wing causing the Dragon to fall into the Digital Sea below. "Jeremie be careful there is still one more left." Odd is using Speed Arrows since the Dragon is to fast for Exploding Arrows and the Laser Arrows aren't guided enough to catch the Dragon on the Eye.
"I am just let me have my moment." Jeremie still did not consider himself a warrior. He was still, in his mind, just there because it was too dangerous for Sanne to go to Lyoko. "Whoa!" Jeremie pulls the Overwing up as a laser flies underneath. "Ok I'm being careful again."
"Guys go after Yumi and the others we can handle this." Odd controlling the Overboard dodges lasers and fires arrows.
"Ok." Jeremie and Jim take off after Yumi and the others not caring they were the slowest vehicle going after the fastest vehicle.
"There it is." The others see the activated Tower. "No monsters, yet." S.S. gets her power pole out. "Aelita be ready to fly in there if you know what I mean."
"Well, no, I don't know…" Something virtualizes in front of the Tower, Demon Sissi.
"Hello children." Demon Sissi is bigger, stronger, more powerful then ever before. "Time to die." Demon Sissi forms a black and purplish energy orb in her hands.
"No way Sissi." Yumi gets her fans out. "What did you do to Ulrich?!"
"You still care about him?" Demon Sissi laughs. "So sad and pathetic."
"Pathetic? You had to trick him to get him! He hates you, I know he does, he still love me!" Yumi stops the Overbike and gets off. "I don't care what he does it is all because of you!"
"No, if I remember, he did it to save a certain pink haired girl." Demon Sissi throws the energy orb at the Overbike where Aelita was still sitting.
"Extend!" S.S. grabs Aelita and uses the power pole to escape the attack.
"But it does not matter as Ulrich has finally caved in to the power." Demon Sissi raises a hand palm up and form another energy orb. This time however it shows what was happening on Earth. It shows Demon Ulrich using his energy, his power, to hurt and even kill other humans. "The power has finally proven to much. Once he used it on his own he realized how great it feels! He is as addicted to it as I am now."
"No, you, you ordered him to do that!" Yumi throws a fan but Demon Sissi knocks it away easily.
"Oh I did but he refused my orders. He actually attacked me and when he did he used his energy. Once he used it he couldn't stop even after King Xana sent me here." Demon Sissi laughs some more.
"I'll kill you!" Yumi runs at Demon Sissi but hits an energy shield. "Coward!"
"No, merely following orders." Demon Sissi sticks her hand out and blasts the ground in front of where Aelita was. "Don't try it." Aelita was planning on using her powers but Demon Sissi would not allow it. Aelita was still getting use to being back and wasn't use to having the claws that came out of her wrist or her ability to become invisible. She couldn't even remember the word she used to activate it. "Maybe I should bring Ulrich here so he could kill you himself."
"Shut up!" Yumi punches the energy shield protecting Demon Sissi. "Fight me!"
"Fight? I would destroy you in less then a minute but my orders are to protect the Tower while the weak minded humans destroy the planet."
"Why, why does he want this to happen?" Aelita is getting concerned about what to do.
"Simple enough. The more people that die the guiltier you will feel. Maybe, just maybe, you will stop being so selfish and finally let King Xana rule the world."
"We would never let that evil take over! He will never control Earth!" Aelita gets a spark of energy around her. She may not remember how to use the powers Jeremie gave her but she remembered the powers she inherited from her mother. "You will lose Sissi. You chose the wrong side of this war." Energy forms around Aelita.
"No, I chose nothing. You see, I have my own power now." Demon Sissi steps away from the Tower. "Go ahead, I wouldn't want Xana to destroy my future Empire."
"What kind of trick is this?" Jeremie and Jim have caught up to the others. "Aelita what are you doing?" Jeremie sees the energy around Aelita.
"No trick I simply wish to keep my planet intact. If that fool Xana destroys it anymore then what he already has then I will not have much of an Empire left to rule." Demon Sissi walks away from the Tower.
"Aelita be careful this could be a trick." Jeremie with Jim flies down to Aelita and S.S.
"I know but you heard her. She, she didn't call him King Xana. Maybe she is breaking free of his control." Aelita did not believe Sissi could be as evil as she seemed. Aelita hoped that what happened when she was controlled by Xana had only been a mistake by Sissi. Maybe Sissi was going to use the power to fight Xana but couldn't. "Thank you Sissi." Aelita runs into the Tower as Ulrich virtualizes onto Lyoko.
"What, no, how did I get here?" Demon Ulrich sees Sissi then the others behind her. "You, Xana said you broke an order. He sent me here to stop them."
"But you follow my orders. Sit." Demon Ulrich does. "So, how did that energy feel?"
"In, incredible." Suddenly both Ulrich and Sissi shrink down and morph to their regular forms. The Tower was deactivated.
"Use them on Yumi." The shock collar appears around Ulrich's neck. "Don't have to kill her just hurt her." The collar goes away.
"Ulrich, no, why? We, she showed us what was going on Earth. You killed those people."
"Yes, I did, and it felt good. That energy, to feel it move through my body, it made me feel better then I ever could have thought possible." The symbol of Xana form in his eyes as he charges his hands with energy.
"Even better then when you were with me?"
"Yes." Ulrich stops charging his hands. "No, that's not…"
"Shut up!" Sissi gives Ulrich an order. "You hate Yumi, you love me, and you make love to me! She never let you do that but I do because I love you to!" Sissi walks over to Ulrich ready to strike him for not saying what she wanted when Aelita launches a return.
"That was different." The Lyoko Warriors are back in the library. "Good job guys." Odd didn't know what had happened between his friends and the enemy.
"I, I," Yumi stands up. "Mike you have to work on this project now! I am going home!"
"What? Babe, what's wrong?"
"None of your business." Yumi leaves the library about to cry. Ulrich said using the energy felt better then being with her. She didn't care that he was going to say no, that wasn't true. She had loved him, they had held each other on the roof of the Factory looking at the stars. They had held hands, kissed, a little more, yet Ulrich was with Sissi, all the way. Yumi's heart is crushed by this. She wanted to save Ulrich from Sissi. If she was a little more grown up, had a little more experience, she would have realized then that Ulrich still loved her. He didn't really make love to Sissi he followed orders. But for a teenage girl this was too much. She goes home not caring if she ran into anyone on the way. When she gets home she goes up to her room and gets her diary out and rips out all of the pages that had anything to do with Ulrich.
A/N Ok, this is NOT ALIEN INVASION. That one had Xana attacking, this one had Xana relying on idiots/religious people to be idiots/religious. I got the idea from a cartoon. Shows a guy reading a bumper sticker. The sticker says after the rapture happens you can have this car and the guy says I don't want your car it has that stupid sticker on it. Then the next panel shows a minister or whatever going on about destroy the Earth, use it up, before Jesus comes. Then the next panel is the guy wondering how they know when Jesus gets here he won't say "We're not going anywhere until you clean up this mess" Also, I am not calling religion stupid I am calling people stupid. Pat Robertson on the 700 Club repeatedly prays and tells his watchers to pray to God to kill people. No different then a Muslim saying "Allah wants you to blow up that school bus" or Bush saying "God told me to Invade Iraq."
