A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-132 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!
"Sissi, come." The portal in Sissi's room opens. "Now!" She gets up on her bed.
"Xana I was sleeping!" She is sucked into the portal. "What is it?"
"That tone of voice, it will not do. I was going to punish you anyways but now I have a better idea." Xana approaches Sissi.
"What are you doing? Punish me? For what?" Sissi gets her axe out.
"Put that away or I'll make sure you truly pay." Xana opens his hand palm up and shows Sissi's mother.
"Don't you hurt her!" Sissi puts her axe away.
"Good girl, now, for your punishment." Xana moves faster then the eye can see and appears behind Sissi. "Join me." Black energy comes out of Xana and wraps around Sissi.
"No, stop it, no!" Sissi and Xana merge into one being.
"Yes, now that I have my vessel I shall escape Lyoko and take over the world!" Xana keeps the portal open but changes the other end to over the bridge. "They will come and I will kill them." The new Xana, Sissi, Xissan stands on the bridge while waiting for the Lyoko Warriors to come.
Jeremie wakes up as his laptop beeps. "Oh man it's barely four in the morning." Jeremie yawns and gets his glasses on. Not now, please be a mistake." But Jeremie knew it was no mistake. "I can't tell Odd, hell I probably can't call Samantha." These two were hit the hardest by the loss of S.S. Jeremie hurt, the others did to but they were able to continue. Samantha did little more then lay in bed as did Odd. Yolanda couldn't find out what was wrong with Odd but his friends knew what was wrong. Odd had lost the will to live. He lost Ulrich, then almost lost Samantha, then had lost S.S. He talked about the deal he made with Xana, the world he was in for the hours that had been the best of his life before his friends deactivated the Tower. The others worried about Odd but since he slept in Jeremie's room Jeremie was able to keep an eye on him. Jeremie looks down at Odd. His skin was deathly pale, he barely ate anything, barely moved. The Super Scan's beeping did not wake Odd up. Jeremie leans down near Odd's mouth to make sure he was breathing, he was. Jeremie gets his phone out and calls Sanne. "Activated Tower, Forest Sector."
"Ok, I'll tell Jim, what about Samantha?"
"I, if she's awake, if she isn't let her sleep." Sanne and Jeremie hang up. Sanne turns over in the bed and shakes Jim.
"Jim, wake up, there's an attack." Jim's eyes snap open.
"Attack, get cover, make sure…" When he sees Sanne he relaxes. "Oh, sorry." Jim had been brought back to the time he worked with INTERPOL on a secret… He couldn't talk about it.
"Wake up, get pants on." Sanne smiles as she sees Jim's teddy bear underwear. The others had told him of the attack from the giant teddy bear but these boxers were still his favorite.
"It's four in the morning. Should I get Samantha?" Sanne shakes her head no. "Ok, good thing we didn't do anything special last night or we would have only gotten an hour of sleep."
"Don't talk about that Jim it's not gentleman like." As Sanne chastises Jim the two get clothes that were acceptable to be outside in since it was a cold autumn morning. They leave a note on Samantha's door just incase then leave for the Factory through the sewer entrance at the Hermitage.
"Ok Jeremie I'm on my way." Yumi hangs up and gets dressed. She gets a coat since it was cold out.
"Uh, Jeremie, what are you doing?" Jeremie had just gone to Aelita's room instead of calling her.
"Aelita, Xana's attacking." Jeremie was scared to death of losing Aelita and had to make sure she wasn't the target. He had lost her once and nearly dropped out of school, out of the fight, before he decided to get revenge. He couldn't lose her again if he did he would probably be worse off then Odd was.
"Um, let me get changed." Aelita closes the door and a couple minutes later come out dressed with a coat. "You let Odd stay?" Jeremie nods. "Good, he couldn't handle this." Odd couldn't handle anything. Losing S.S. was the crushing blow. With the loss of S.S. they lost two members, maybe three if Samantha continued the way she was. Aelita and Jeremie hurry to the Factory.
Jim and Sanne get to the Factory first and see a tall demonic looking thing standing on the bridge. It was dark out so they had a hard time seeing details but it was there. "He made a new monster? We have to be careful. If one of us dies Xana will probably do what he did to S.S. to us." They couldn't risk another member being erased.
"Stay here Sanne we have to wait for the others." Sanne and Jim wait for the others and soon Jeremie and Aelita make it.
"What are you doing mom?" Aelita sees her mother and Jim are sitting on the cement of the sewers.
"Xana sent a monster, a new monster, to Earth. We have to be careful." They wait for the only young warrior left in the group Yumi.
Back at Kadic Academy Ulrich wakes up from a strange dream. Sissi was trying to get a hold of him but seemed blocked by something. As he wakes up he gets a tingling sensation and thinks it is Sissi contacting him but it goes away. He decides he better check on her so he doesn't get shocked. He decides not to change since Sissi had a habit of ripping his clothes off He goes to her room in just his boxers and sleeveless shirt. He knocks on the door, then opens it, to find Sissi wasn't there. "Damn, Xana must have called for us but I was so tired I never heard her call. If she just left me alone or didn't always have me on…" He stops when he hears a noise. He looks around and sees a flashlight shine from the stairs. "I have to get to Lyoko." Ulrich sighs and uses his powers to fall through the floor like a ghost and run to the Factory much faster then any normal human.
"What's with the sewer convention I thought there was an attack."
"There is, Xana sent a new monster to Earth and its right outside the Factory entrance." Yumi climbs up the ladder and sees the monster.
"It, it almost looks like Sissi, kind of." Yumi squints trying to get a better look at the monster when a strange wind appears. She looks around and then sees a blur. The blur stops and it is Ulrich! "Ulrich, what are you doing?" He is wearing the clothes he wears when he goes to bed. Yumi listens to what is going on.
"Xana, what have you done to Sissi?"
"She is my vessel now. I have made it to Earth and I will rule!" The monster charges its hands. "We have company, kill them." Ulrich doesn't follow the order. "I said kill them!" The monsters voice changes from Sissi's to a weird mix of Sissi's and Xana's.
"Ha, you messed up Xana. I take my orders from Sissi not you." Ulrich morphs into Xanafied Lyoko Ulrich. "I hate you, I hate Sissi, now I have a chance to fight you!"
"No! You will listen to me!" The Xana/Sissi mix throws an energy orb at Ulrich but he uses his powers to dodge it.
"Yes, these powers, they feel incredible. I get to use them for good." Energy sparks around Ulrich. "Yes, more energy, I will stop you!" Ulrich gets his swords out. "Yumi, you and the others need to get to the Factory I don't know how long I will be able to stall Xana!" Yumi looks down in the sewer.
"We have to go now!" Yumi and the others climb out and run for the Factory as Ulrich and Xissan fight. The group gets to the ropes and swing down. Yumi stops first and looks back at Ulrich who was dodging Xissan's energy attacks and trying to fight back with his swords. "Good luck Ulrich." Yumi jumps and swings down to the others below. They run to the elevator and take it down to the Control Room. Sanne gets off and runs to the control panel.
"Hurry, I don't know how long Ulrich will last." The others take the elevator down and get off at the Scanner Room. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Jim, Transfer Jeremie, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Jim, Scanner Jeremie, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko and soon Aelita joins them as the vehicles appear. Aelita takes the Overboard as Yumi gets on the Overbike leaving the Overwing to the two guys. "Head west, stay on the trail I don't want a test dive of what I've been working on to be fishing one of you out of the Digital Sea."
"What?" Yumi hears Digital Sea and can only think of one person, William. He was still down there somewhere. Yumi almost drives off the edge as she thinks about William but she keeps the Overbike in control. The group heads for the Tower as Ulrich does his best to stop Xana on Earth.
"I hate you! I won't let this opportunity get away from me." Ulrich had cut Xissan lightly on the left arm with a sword but had done little else. Xissan was just too strong even for him. He felt incredible as he used the powers. Better then any drug high, better then a starving man who just got to eat the finest steak in the world, better then anything. It courses through his body giving him strength, courage, and the endurance he needed. But Xissan was stronger and wouldn't give up until Ulrich was out of his way.
Back on Lyoko the Tower was in sight but so were the monsters guarding it. Two Mega Tanks and two Assassins. "Sending out the big guns, wonder where Sissi is." Yumi knows the answer to Jim's question.
"Xana, he, he used Sissi as a vessel to get to Earth. I'm not sure what that means but I think it means he merged with Sissi." Yumi revs the engine trying to think of a way to get rid of as many monsters as possible at once.
"Yumi wait up, what are you doing?" Aelita sees Yumi charging the monsters. "We can't lose you we're already down on members as it is!" Yumi ignores Aelita as she gets her fans out. The two Mega Tanks open and start to charge.
"Hai!" Yumi throws her fans as she jumps and does a back flip off the Overbike. The fans fly true and strike the two Mega Tanks across the Eye before they can fire. As Yumi lands she uses her psychic powers to control the Overbike and uses it as a weapon against an Assassin. The Assassin is knocked backwards into the Digital Sea and is destroyed. Yumi dodges lasers from the last remaining Assassin and catches her fans. She uses her fans to block the lasers as the others catch up to her.
"Well, good job Yumi I couldn't have done it better myself." Jim motions to Jeremie to fly down to Yumi. "But that was incredibly stupid."
"I don't care just get Aelita to the Tower. Ulrich, he's up there fighting for us, we can't let him down." Yumi blocks the lasers as Jim and Jeremie pull back on the Overwing.
"Jim, if you reach over and control the Overwing I can fires lasers of my own." Jim does reach over so Jeremie can fire lasers at the Assassin. The Assassin dodges the lasers as best it can but the pathways of the Forest Sector were narrow and did not give it much room. Aelita decides to help and her beautiful singing is heard by the others. As the Assassin rolls to the right the land disappears and it falls into the Digital Sea.
"I can deactivate the Tower now." Aelita flies to the Tower and enters it.
"Well, that was easy." Yumi walks over to Jim and Jeremie.
"Yeah, without Sissi and Ulrich we just break through like it was nothing." Jeremie watches the Tower and notices it isn't deactivating. "Aelita what's wrong?!" He yells so she can hear him.
"The code, it's wrong." Aelita entered it twice and nothing both times. "I don't know what I did wrong."
"You didn't do anything wrong honey Xana did it. With his merge with Sissi the password changed."
"No, Ulrich, please Sanne send me back to Earth!" Yumi yells but Sanne ignores her. There would be no use for Yumi to go to Earth. Xana was to powerful and if Ulrich couldn't stop Xana then no one could.
"Ready to give up now Ulrich?" Xissan has destroyed both of Ulrich's swords and would soon kill him if Ulrich didn't surrender.
"No, I know how to beat you. Sissi, please, fight this. You don't want to be a pawn of Xana I know it!" Ulrich yells this but does it pierce through to Sissi?
"My boy you should not rely on that piece of meat to save you." Xana charges his hands with energy. Soon Ulrich would be little more then a stain on the bridge.
"She's not a piece of meat! You manipulated her into joining you! Just like she manipulated me. We're no different, we both wanted something. She wanted her mother to love her and I wanted Aelita to be reborn." Ulrich's words are heard by Xissan but the energy orb gets larger and larger. "Sissi, if you're in there still, I don't hate you. These powers, I, they're corrupting me to. You aren't responsible for what you've done you had to follow Xana's orders!" Xissan raises his hands in the air ready to kill Ulrich when all of the energy moves back into the body of Xissan.
Back on Lyoko Aelita is getting frustrated. They tried a dozen codes already and nothing. Ulrich would probably die fighting Xana and it would be her fault because she couldn't deactivate the Tower. "Delmas?" Nothing. "We've tried everything!" She puts a hand on the touch screen and nothing happens. "No, Ulrich, you sacrificed yourself for me I won't give up!" Aelita tries more codes hoping to save Ulrich.
On the bridge however Xissan was having problems. The energy had moved back into his body and now was being used against him! "Aaaa!" He struggles as the energy burns inside his chest. "You bitch I'll kill you for this! I am your master!" Xissan punches a hole into his own chest to try and get the energy out.
"Sissi, keep it up, I know you can. Please Sissi I, I'll forgive you for what you've done to me you just have to stop Xana." Ulrich pleads hoping Sissi would be able to stop Xana since he couldn't.
"Why the hell would it be Elizabeth? She hates that name."
"Aelita watch your mouth. Just try it." Aelita enters it and nothing happens.
"Told you it wouldn't work."
"Try it with an S!" Jim yells so Aelita can hear him. He collected enough of her tests to know she used an S while everyone else used a Z. Aelita tries this new code.
"It worked! Tower deactivated!" The screens fall around her and on Earth Xana and Sissi split apart.
"Sissi, thank God, are you ok?" Her eyes open and the Eye of Xana is in hers. "Sissi, no, get out of Sissi."
"He is not in me, I stole his energy." Sissi floats to her feet. "Ulrich, I think it is time to implement our plan."
"But, he's, you can't have that much power."
"I can Ulrich if you follow me. Did you mean it?"
"Mean what?"
"That you would forgive me?"
"Y, ye, yes, I forgive you Sissi. I don't hate you, you allowed me to stop Xana, you said you didn't want to kill the others but you had to follow Xana's orders. Just like I had to follow his orders when he possessed me and killed Jim." Ulrich hugs Sissi by his own will. "Sissi, we need to go back." He lets her go.
"Follow me then." Sissi uses her new stronger powers to run back to Kadic Academy with Ulrich running after her.
Sanne brings the others back to Earth when a large black cloud fills the Scanner Room. "Is there a fire?" Jim has the kids get down below the level of the black smoke. As he watches it he sees it split apart and go into the three separate Scanners then disappear.
"With out Sissi as his vessel he couldn't stay on Earth." Sanne informs the group of what had happened. "Yumi, Ulrich is just fine." Sanne doesn't mention the hug she saw through the cameras. "We all need to go back, maybe get another hour or so of sleep."
"Yeah, I'd appreciate that." Jim yawns as he and the kids get on the elevator. They take it up to the Control Room to get Sanne then they take the sewers to either Kadic Academy or the Hermitage.
