A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-134 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!
Samantha and Odd are in Jeremie's room lying next to each other on the cot. Odd had stopped crying a couple days ago but needed Samantha for support. She had gotten him to eat more and was helping him with homework that Jeremie had brought to him. But now they just lay next to each other holding onto the other. "Odd it's getting late."
"I, I know. I'm sorry."
"Don't be Odd we're friends I'd do anything to help you." Samantha kisses him. "But I do have to go."
"I know, thank you." Odd hugs her tightly for a few seconds then let's her go. "Tomorrow, maybe, you could help me with the math homework I have left."
"Ok Odd buddy I'll see you tomorrow." Samantha smiles at him then leaves making sure to close the door behind her.
The next day Samantha comes over and finds Odd isn't in the dorm room! She starts to panic and calls him but hears his phone ring. "No, Xana, he, not Odd." She panics more when the door opens and sees Odd with nothing but a bath towel around his waist. "Odd!" Samantha covers her eyes.
"Oh, hey, um, I really needed a shower and I, I forgot to bring clean clothes." Odd goes to a trunk and digs some out making sure his towel stayed up. "Sorry Samantha."
"Not like I haven't seen it before but that was you know, before, when we were going out." Samantha waits for Odd to leave before taking her hand down. "Hmmm, he's older then before, I wonder, naw better not." Samantha sits down on the cot and laughs nervously. She was panicking, hyperventilating, when she thought Odd had been taken by Xana. "I should have known it wasn't an attack Jeremie would have called." She puts a hand on her chest over her heart. "Calm down Samantha it wasn't an attack." She sits and thinks about what feelings were coming up inside. "No, we're friends now, he just lost S.S. Maybe with time, it would help him I guess. Not that he could ever get over her." Samantha knew how Odd felt about S.S. He genuinely loved her unlike anyone else he ever had before. "Homework, we can start on that. Good thing I was a couple years ahead of him or I probably wouldn't be able to help him." She gets a math book out and starts going over the problems as she waits for Odd to get back.
Across the city at the local zoo there is a problem. "How could one Chimpanzee and one Gorilla escape? Someone stole them!" A zoo worker was yelling at a police officer. "A Gorilla hide can go for over 3,000 Euros not to mention the hands and feet!"
"Sir calm down we'll be on the look out for anything that might be related to this." The officer doubts they would find anything. It was strange for an animal to be stolen from a zoo by poachers due to security but it was probably harder to find ones in the wild.
"You better! Those are prized exhibits. Kiko and Lynnette were part of the research into Primate intelligence. Years of data could be made obsolete if we don't get them back." Little did the officer or the zoo worker know they were not stolen by poachers for their hides or hands but for something far worse.
"Ha, there we go, fixed it." Jeremie, Aelita, and Sanne had been working on fixing the damage Sissi did when she used the Super Computer to activate a Tower. They fixed the vehicles first since that was the easiest but fixing the Mini Scan that was set on the Tower in Sector 5 was harder and took longer. "Launching Mini Scan." Immediately it tells the three in the Control Room there was an activated Tower. "An attack, I'll call Jim you call the others." Jeremie calls Jim while Sanne calls Samantha and Aelita calls Yumi.
"Odd I have to go, Xana is attacking." Samantha had just gotten off the phone with Sanne. "Um, you could go."
"No, I, no, sorry." Samantha hugs Odd.
"Don't be. We understand Odd. We all love you and want you to get better."
"I'll, I'll be better when, when S.S. is back." Odd never gave up hope. There had to be a way, any way, to bring S.S. back.
"We'll get her back Odd." Samantha smiles then leaves for the Factory.
The missing primates, the Gorilla Lynnette and the missing Chimpanzee Kiko are lost and scared. They are in a world that was unlike anything they knew. The habitats that they were in were separated and they had never met and now they see each other in a world where they can't smell each other out. In a world where feeling seemed gone but sight and sound remained. There are trees around them but these are not normal trees. Suddenly a weird looking person appears. "Hello, I am looking for new Knights. I know you don't understand me, yet, but you shall. And when my enemies come you will fight them. The one who does best shall live and the other will be killed." Xana sticks both hands out and sends energy into both Primates. They scream and howl in pain then stop as the transformation is complete. They are now walk on two legs, have weapons and armor, and are intelligent. But unlike a human they do not appear to have the same strength of will to resist a Xana order.
"Master Xana, I serve thee." Lynette bows to Xana.
"As do I Master Xana." Kiko bows to Xana.
"Good, stronger then a human before the transformation and now as Knights you will have more power then ever before! You will be free if you win the right to be my Knight." Xana continues to corrupt the primates and gives them knowledge of his enemies, their new enemies.
Back on Earth the rest of the gang gets to the Factory. "So we all made it? What about Odd?" Yumi bites a nail in worry.
"No, he was fine when I left him."
"You were with him."
"Of course Yumi he needs a lot of help with homework and someone to talk to and stuff. Although we didn't much homework done since this," Samantha motions to the control panel. "Got in the way."
"Well, we need to deactivate the Tower. I'm ready if you guys are." Yumi goes over to the elevator and the rest join them.
"Transfer Jim, Transfer Jeremie, Transfer Yumi, Scanner Jim, Scanner Jeremie, Scanner Yumi, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko near the edge of the Forest Sector. "Transfer Aelita, Transfer Samantha, Scanner Aelita, Scanner Samantha, Virtualization." They land and soon the Transporter comes and whisks them off to Sector 5.
Back on Earth Xana has sent his new Chimpanzee Knight on its first mission. Xana knew Odd would be all alone, weak, easy prey. Of course killing him would be too easy. He has crushed Odd already but Odd was coming back very slowly. To keep him from a full recovery Xana would stoop to a new low. "Hello, um, I'm lost. I'm here to see my cousins, Odd and Aelita?"
"Oh, your family must have been told about Odd." The girl a fake S.S. stops points to the dorm building. "He's been staying in someone else's room, hmmm, I can show you."
"Oh thank you we've all so worried about him. My school is on break this week so my parents and I came to see him and Aelita."
"Right this way." The girl leads Odd's other cousin to Jeremie's dorm room. The girl walks away as the "cousin" knocks on the door.
"Samantha? That was fast." The door opens and Odd sees a ghost, so he thinks. "Sandra, no, how?"
"Odd, you let me die." The voice is S.S.'s, the face is hers, but the words were anything but. "You were supposed to protect me but I died. You, you didn't bring me back, how could you let me die?"
"S.S. I tried to bring you back! Xana, he destroyed, he destroyed your DNA. S.S. please I'm sorry I tried to bring you back but I couldn't." Odd gets up and walks over to S.S. "I love you S.S. I always will."
"Then why is there lipstick on your lips?" Odd's eyes get wide as he wipes his mouth with his sleeve and sees lipstick on his sleeve.
"I, Samantha, she wanted me to feel better." Odd realizes how this sounds but is too late.
"How much better?"
"No, she, I was able to talk to her after you died. We're friends S.S., you're friends with her." Odd is crying as he tries to hug S.S. but falls through her.
"You can't touch me Odd. I'd never let some leech like you touch me."
"No, S.S., please, I love you I tried to bring you back I swear!" Odd curls up into a ball and starts to cry as the "ghost" of S.S. walks away.
"Woo!" Aelita is on the Overboard alone. Yumi and Samantha are on the Overbike and Jim shares the Overwing with Jeremie. "I love this." Sanne had found a way to send the vehicles into the inner part of Sector 5. They had hit the switch and were on the way to the activated Tower.
"Aelita stay back there's something there." Yumi activates the flight controls on the Overbike and flies up in front of Aelita.
"What is that?" Samantha leans forward past Yumi to get a better look. It is large, not as big as Jim, has gladiator like armor and a mace. The skin looks like it is covered with a fine black fur and the face looks strange.
"I don't know, it almost looks human. He's never made a monster that looked human."
"I am not a lowly created monster." The creature speaks! "Master Xana has freed me from the cage you humans put me in. I am above you now, I will make your whole race suffer for what it has done to me and my fellow Gorilla brothers and sisters."
"Whoa, a Gorilla?" Jim sizes the Gorilla up. "Jeremie I'm getting down." Jim leaps over Jeremie and lands down on the ground below. "You're a Gorilla huh? Then how can you talk?"
"Master Xana has raised me above that of a normal Gorilla. He sent a measly Chimpanzee to your friend Odd."
"No, you bastard, leave Odd alone!" Samantha charges this new Gorilla Knight with her daggers. The Gorilla swings the Mace at Samantha and she dodges it. She tries to stab him with a dagger but his armor stops it.
"I am not doing anything to that human scum!" The Gorilla swings its mace again striking Samantha and knocking her down.
"Samantha you lost fifty hit points." Sanne had called Odd but got no response. "Samantha do as much damage as you can before coming back."
"I'm trying!" Samantha throws a dagger when two fans fly in and hit the Gorilla across the face and back of the head. She leaps at the Gorilla and stabs him in the shoulder with a dagger.
"Aaaa! I can't let Master Xana down I don't want to be destroyed!" The Gorilla throws Samantha into the air then swings the mace like a bat and destroys Samantha sending her back to Earth.
"Samantha get to Kadic Academy now! Don't worry about anyone seeing you since you should be running to fast for anyone to see your face!" Samantha didn't need to be told by Sanne what to do. She was already on the elevator ready to go as fast as she could to Kadic Academy.
Back at Kadic Academy Kiko decided she'd do something more. She wanted to prove to Master Xana that she deserved her freedom. She is still in the form of S.S. when she finds Odd still curled up in a ball crying. "Odd, if you want to prove you love me, if you want to be with me again, kill yourself. I miss you Odd and would love you forever if you killed yourself and came back to me." She leans down and kisses Odd.
"S.S., I, I love you."
"Then prove it Odd." Kiko flies backwards through the wall leading to the outside. "Master Xana can I please fight your enemies?"
"Not now Knight of Lyoko. Next attack you will fight them and your counterpart will have her chance on Earth. Very good what you did, if he does kill himself anything short of Lynnette killing two warriors will make you the winner."
"I know Master Xana."
"The kiss was a good touch."
"He is cute for a human. If he was a bit stronger and had hair I might not let him die." Kiko laughs evilly then morphs into her new Chimpanzee form. She is thinner then Lynnette and not as strong but is faster and her spear gives her more range then Lynnette.
Back on Lyoko Lynnette has destroyed Samantha, Yumi, and Jeremie leaving Jim and Aelita. "I have done quite well. I am sure my competitor could do nothing as great as stopping you from deactivating the Tower."
"You haven't stopped us yet." Yumi had been able to use her psychic powers with Jeremie's help to get the mace away. "Let's see how strong you really are." Jim and Lynnette lunge at each other and see just who is stronger.
Back on Earth Samantha gets to Kadic Academy and hears yelling. "Yolanda, someone get the nurse, we need Yolanda!" Someone comes running out of the boy's shower room with blood on a towel that was around their waist. Their hair was still wet from the shower.
"What happened?" Samantha stops them.
"Odd, Odd Della Robbia, he just walked in and slit his wrists!"
"No, Odd!" Samantha runs into the boy's shower room and then runs into a stall to find Odd on the floor in a pool of blood that was gushing from his wrists. "No, Odd, no!" Samantha fights back tears as she gets her phone out and calls Sanne. "Launch a return!"
"We can't the Tower wasn't deactivated. What happened to Odd?"
"Xana, he, he did something to Odd, his wrist were slit." Samantha looks around for towels to try and stop the bleeding.
"Ok, we'll launch one as soon as the Tower is deactivated. Just keep him alive until then. No, get his hair, put it in your pocket. If it's in your pocket it won't be affected by the return. Get it now while he's still alive!"
"I have to stop the bleeding!" Sanne hangs her phone up and goes over to a towel rack and grabs two. She goes back and puts one on each wrist. As she leans over him using her weight to keep pressure on the wounds Odd's eyes open. "Odd, what were you thinking?"
"S.S., she, she told me to join her. Please, I want to go back to S.S."
"Odd she's gone and she's never coming back! I won't let you die!" She reaches with her right hand and rips hair out of his head and puts it in her pocket not caring about getting blood on her clothes. "If you die I'll bring you back!" Odd's mouth opens and he laughs a little.
"Samantha, the minutes I'll be with S.S. will be worth it."
"No, you can't die Odd I love you! We love you, you're our friend!" Samantha cries and her tears fall onto Odd's chest.
"S.S., I love you." Odd sighs and his eyes close.
"No, Odd, no!" Samantha leans down close to his mouth and feels his breath on her lips. "You won't die. We'll save you." Samantha cries as she continues to apply pressure to Odd's wounds.
Back on Lyoko Jim and Lynnette struggle in a hand to hand battle. Jim found he was a little bit stronger then Lynnette but she was a bit more agile then he was. "You won't win, Master Xana has made me perfect." Lynnette jumps in the air and kicks Jim in the face.
"I will win because I am fighting for something important." Jim punches Lynnette knocking her backwards into the wall. "I will win because I am fighting for Aelita, for Sanne, for all of them." Jim claps his hands together. "Thunder Clap!" The energy ring comes out but Lynnette jumps against the wall to launch herself into Jim.
"I fight for freedom!" Lynnette punches Jim again and again and he is devirtualized back to Earth. "Aelita, you die."
"No you lose." Aelita had used her Creativity to create a clone then used her Shimmer ability to move away from the clone. When she gets to the Tower she becomes visible again and enters the Tower.
"No! I'll tear you out of that Tower!" Lynnette runs at the Tower but bounces off. "No! Fight me!" Lynnette punches the Tower as it is deactivated.
"Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up and reverses time.
"What, no, I have to get there." Samantha was in the woods on her way to Kadic Academy. She runs as fast as she can to the school and runs to Jeremie's dorm room. She throws the door open and finds Odd isn't there. "No, Odd, I can't let you do this!" She runs down the hall to the boy's shower room and throws the door open.
"Samantha what are you doing!" Odd was undressing getting ready to take a shower. He still had his boxers on thankfully for both.
"Odd, you don't remember?"
"Remember what? You left for the Factory then I fell asleep." Samantha goes over and hugs him. He was safe and for some reason he didn't remember.
Back on Lyoko Xana is with his two Knights. "Master Xana he would have died if the Tower had not been deactivated!" Kiko was pleading her case as was Lynnette.
"I fought the entire group and it wasn't until Aelita Hopper tricked me that the Tower was deactivated. I'd like to see her do better."
"And she'll have her chance next time. As you failed I kept Odd from remembering what you did. It wouldn't be fair if I judged you for what happened after the attack was over." Xana floats away from the two and decides what to do next time to test his new Knights.
A/N so, anyone know what song I got the name from? No? Nirvana's Rape Me, dropped the R, and made it Ape Me. It was a stupid thing but I use a lot of song titles and lyrics so used them again.
