A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-139 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…
Yumi and the others are on Lyoko with William. He had several things to tell them face to face. "William, are you sure?" He nods.
"That city, it, it is where all of the monsters you've ever destroyed go. But they don't just go there they are mutated, some form together to make new monsters. I saw it and studied it while trying to ignore the pain. It's amazing how many monsters are there. That place, if you were to go in, I think it might be larger then Lyoko itself. It sits in the Digital Sea and everywhere I went I could always find it."
"But, that's insane. That place, I can't find any sign of it from here." Sanne is sitting at the control panel. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I, I had nothing to do but watch it. I never thought I'd be brought back." William had tried to cry but on Lyoko he couldn't. "I may still be stuck on Lyoko but I am thankful to you guys."
"We're thankful to have you back." Yumi hugs William. "I'm sorry we didn't do it earlier but we couldn't."
"I understand Yumi." William sighs. "You brought me out from that pain. You risked your lives for someone who is dead."
"I'm dead." Samantha takes his hand in hers. "So was S.S. for awhile but we never forgot you." She hugs him. "I'm so glad to have you back." Samantha had spent a lot of time alone at the Control Room. Sanne let her go alone knowing that William needed someone to talk to and Samantha didn't want to be locked up alone in the Hermitage all the time.
"Thanks." William hugs her back then let's go. "If you guys wanted to try it I'm sure you could find something there. The monsters seemed to be wild, they fought with each other a lot, but recently they seemed to have found a leader."
"A leader?" He nods. "As in what?" Yumi thinks about why this would have changed.
"I don't know. They stopped fighting and they started becoming organized."
"Could it be Sissi and Ulrich?" It was the only thing Yumi could come up with. "What could she be doing? We know she broke free from Xana but who knows what she is planning now."
"I think she wants to take Xana's place but how would she have contact with the city? And she, she was as surprised as we were." Samantha continues holding William's hand. They were dating when he died and after spending hours together they were starting to rekindle things. The only problems were William was stuck on Lyoko and Samantha was positive Yumi had feelings for William and vice versa. She didn't want to confront Yumi about it and cause a fight but she didn't want to lose William to her either.
"She could have been acting." Odd is sitting on the platform. "I think we need to go there and check things out. Maybe, if Sissi is working with the monsters she could help us defeat Xana once and for all."
"And leave us with Sissi? Is that any better?" Odd shrugs his shoulders.
"I, I think it might be. Xana is so powerful the only thing keeping him from wiping us off the map is that he needs returns to make himself stronger." Aelita was sure Sissi wasn't evil. Sissi had done things without getting something in return.
"He's done a damn good job of killing us though. He's killed me, Jim, and S.S. in less then two months. If we weren't lucky and Sissi didn't have a way to get S.S. back we'd still be dead." Samantha wasn't sure who would be worse but right now Xana was the enemy.
"I think we need to stop discussing this and do something." S.S. didn't like the talk about all the deaths. "I, if we go there and find allies we need to help them. If they attack us though, um, will we come back?"
"I don't know." Sanne had no idea. She couldn't find this place on the map since it was in the Digital Sea. "I think it might be too dangerous. Only send a small group, with Sissi and Ulrich." Risk those two instead of my baby and her friends.
A small group would be more vulnerable wouldn't they?" Jim leans over Sanne's shoulder. "I'll go with them but it's to dangerous for the kids."
"Jim no, I'll go. I'm already dead no one would notice if I disappeared." Samantha hated being locked up in the Hermitage, it was getting to her. Her only release had been William but he was on Lyoko. Talking to him was fun but she had to be locked away in the Control Room. She didn't really care anymore if she died again in this war against Xana. Although her friends would probably bring her back if that happened. "Also I'm small, hard to hit. I can dodge a lot better then you."
"Well, we can call those two and plan a trip. You have the hover abilities worked out yet?" Sanne had ran tests with the group and some, mostly Odd, were having problems.
"We can do it now. We're already on Lyoko so we just need them to come. Also the others will be here incase Xana activates a Tower." Samantha was ready to go now. She wasn't in the Hermitage or at the Control Room. She felt free when on Lyoko and wanted to stay.
"Well, if they can. I'm not sending three Lyoko Warriors there." Sanne wouldn't risk it. She gets her phone out and calls Ulrich. "Ulrich, we're planning a mission."
"What kind?" Ulrich had used his powers to do all of Sissi's and his homework and was now watching a movie with Sissi. He wouldn't want to be there normally but it beat doing the other things Sissi would have him do. She was relaxing her strict control over him. Her plan was to try and show Ulrich how nice it would be to be with her and make him fall in love with her. It wasn't working.
"One to the Digital Atlantis."
"Oh, um, I guess we could go. When?"
"Now. They're waiting for you."
"We'll be there." Ulrich and Sanne hang up. Ulrich sighs and sacrifices his sanity to Sissi. "Honey, the Lyoko Warriors are going to the Digital Atlantis and want us to go. If we go it will help improve our alliance with them."
"We'll go alright. I'm curious about what Xana has hiding there." Sissi uses her powers to pause the movie and then they turn into black mists and go to the Factory. They come out and see Sanne and Jim in the Control Room. "So everyone else is going?"
"No, this is only an exploration trip. You, Ulrich, and Samantha are going. Don't fight if you don't have to. I don't know if you can come back if you lose your life points or whatever you and Ulrich have."
"I see, and the others?"
"Incase Xana attacks they can deactivate a Tower."
"Ok, we're going." Ulrich and Sissi break into black mists and enter the Super Computer to go to Lyoko.
"Hello Ulrich, Sissi." Yumi welcomes Ulrich and kind of welcomes Sissi. "Don't lose Samantha."
"We won't lose anything. Samantha, come here." Samantha walks over to Sissi. Sissi puts a hand on Samantha's head then sends a bolt of energy into her.
"Whoa. This feels weird." Samantha is charged with power like Odd and S.S. were. "I guess we're taking the submarine." As Samantha says this a submarine appears. "Um, I'll pilot." Samantha and the other two get in and soon Samantha lowers it slowly to the Digital Sea.
"Be careful ok? Remember we don't know if you can come back from there." Sanne gives this last warning as Samantha and the other two go into the Digital Sea.
"Whoa, there it is." Samantha drives over to where the city was. "Whoa, no, stop!" The submarine dropped when it left the Digital Sea and went into the open air of the Digital Atlantis. She hits the hovers and stops the fall.
"I see monsters." Ulrich looks around and sees regular monsters and mutated monsters. A Dragon with Krabe legs, a Block with Tarantula arms, and many other mutated monsters.
"This is crazy, look at this, it's huge." Samantha drives over to a platform and lands it.
"Oh no, an activated Tower, I'll send the Transporter!" Sanne's fingers fly over the keyboard and collects the Lyoko Warriors still on Lyoko and takes them to the Forest Sector. "Jim, go down and I'll send you to."
"Ok Sanne." Jim goes over to the elevator and takes it down to the Scanner Room. He gets in the middle Scanner and is soon on Lyoko with the others.
"Go north and be careful." Sanne worries about what was going on in the Digital Sea not knowing what the attack was that Xana had launched.
On Earth the military is working on the newest war machine. A flying mini copter with weapons on it. They could send it into combat without risking human lives. But as they work on the gyroscopic base that seemed to malfunction after several hours of flight time a black mist comes and moves inside the machine. "What is going on here?" A engineer hears a whirring noise and soon sees the mini copter flying! "We didn't activate it, shut it off!"
"Sir the power pack is right here." A mechanic shows the power pack sitting on a table.
"Then how is it flying?" The mini copter fires a missile and creates a hole for it to fly through. "Code Echo Echo Alpha, we have a loose pigeon I repeat we have a loose pigeon." The alarms sound but the mini copter flies away for its new target.
"What are they doing?" The three in the Digital Atlantis have they're weapons out but the monsters don't attack. A mutated Mega Tank comes up to them and opens up. What was inside surprises the three. "Kiko!"
"Yes, and you are the traitors and a Lyoko Warrior." Kiko steps away from the mutated Mega Tank and it closes. The extra legs sticking out are useless as they were too small to lift the Mega Tank but it can still roll.
"Traitors? We broke free like you did."
"I did not break free I was thrown away!" Energy sparks around Kiko. "What are you doing here?!"
"We, we're exploring. We didn't know this place existed until a few days ago." Samantha backs away behind Ulrich and Sissi.
"What is it you're looking for?"
"We don't know that's why we're exploring." Sissi walks over to Kiko. "What is this place?"
"This is where all of the monsters you and your friends have destroyed go. This is filled with monsters that have been destroyed over the many years your group has been fighting Xana."
"And what are you? William told us the monsters use to fight but now they don't. Was it because of you?" Samantha stays behind the other two. She may have been willing to go but she didn't want to die.
"Yes. I was cast aside for that uncivilized Lynnette. I will crush her and Xana with my army."
"Why haven't you? You've been done here for several weeks." Sissi looks around. "Are you scared?"
"No! I need to find a way to raise this city to the surface. For that I need the Core of Lyoko." Kiko looks up. "I know where it is and I know Xana is attached to it. If I get there I can use the core to raise this city and take control of Lyoko, destroy Xana, and kill that damn gorilla!"
"How are you planning on getting to the Core?" Sissi has no idea what Kiko is talking about. When she was controlled by Xana she knew new things but none of it was about a Core.
"I haven't found a way, yet. But I notice you have a way here and back." Kiko gets her spear out. "I think I'll kill you and take it up to the surface." Kiko now reveals four nearly invisible insect like wings. She takes off into the air then sends a bolt of energy at Ulrich. He blocks it with his swords. Lasers starts to fire from monsters as Kiko commands her army to attack.
"Samantha stay back, get to the ship! Sissi and I can get back on our own!" Ulrich blocks lasers and reflects some of them back at the monsters. Sissi attacks Kiko as Samantha creates daggers and throws them at monsters. She wasn't a coward and could take a few hits before she had to retreat.
"I will get back to the surface and I will use the core and free Kingdom onto Lyoko!" Kiko and Sissi fight. Sissi uses her powers more and more to fight a Kiko who had found a way to absorb the energy from deleted monsters to make her self stronger.
"You idiot we could work together! Enemy of my enemy is my friend!" Sissi blocks the spear with the head of her axe and pushes it to the side. She lunges and shoves the point coming out of the top of the axe into Kiko's stomach. "Back off we have more of these! We can get you out!" Kiko pushes away from Sissi and the wound heals.
"Like you would you dirty humans!" Kiko swings the spear at Sissi but misses.
"You hate Xana, I hate Xana, why not use our hatred together!" Sissi uses an energy bolt to hit Kiko in the leg as Ulrich continues to fight monsters.
"Triplicate!" He splits apart. "One of you defend Samantha!" A clone runs over to her.
"Thanks Ulrich." Samantha had been hit by a laser and was trying to make it back to the submarine but couldn't. Now that she can she runs and gets in the front bubble and starts the submarine up. "Guys we know what's here let's leave!" The bubble closes and she waits for the others but they continue fighting. Sissi had given a mental order to Ulrich to keep fighting so she could try and negotiate something with Kiko.
On Lyoko the group sees the Tower but also see four Assassins and two Dragons. "We're down Samantha, and, Ulrich." Yumi still counts Ulrich into the Lyoko Warriors. They had fought for so many years she couldn't not count him as one. "Maybe we could wait. If they come back up they could come and help us."
"Mom, what's the attack?" Aelita wonders if that was a good idea. If there wasn't an apparent attack then they could wait. Unless the attack was in the Digital Sea or the Digital Atlantis then they had to deactivate the Tower.
"Nothing so far, I've gone through the channels and nothing is being reported." Sanne leans back in the chair not worried. What she doesn't know is the military was keeping a tight lid on the theft of the latest in warfare technology. Sanne waits when she hears the elevator running. "What the? Xana must have sent something. But, the alarm never went off." Sanne brings up the security cameras and doesn't see anything. The elevator stops running and now she hears a weird whirring noise. She turns around and as the doors open she sees the mini copter. "It, it must have flown over the cameras so it wasn't seen by the security camera." Sanne backs away from the mini copter. "What the hell is it doing?" She hears clicking noises then a red dot appears on her shirt. "Oh, that's what…" A missile fires out and Sanne ducks. The missile flies over her and hits the wall behind her creating a crater in the wall. "Whoa, pack a punch for such a little thing."
"It's not the size that matters it is how you use it and I plan on using it to kill you!" The mini copter's message is clear as it fires another missile. Sanne rolls out of the way but the explosion hits her a little.
"I, Lyoko, I'll be safe there." Sanne tries to get to the control panel but the mini copter fires bullets in front of her then destroys the control panel with more.
"You will die!" The mini copter shoots more bullets as Sanne runs away and hits her in the leg three times.
"Aaaa!" She falls to the floor. She looks around, the elevator was to far away but the ladder, if she could make it there, Xana wouldn't dare fire a missile if it could damage the Super Computer. She crawls over as the mini copter reloads its guns and grabs a rung. She starts to go down when the mini copter fires its last missile. This shakes Sanne who with a bad leg falls down past the Scanner room all the way to the Super Computer Room. When she lands her good leg snaps breaking in several places. "Aaaa!" She screams in pain but for now was safe. The mini copter was to large to fly through the ladder hole and wasn't able to fly at an angle to shoot Sanne from where it was.
"Mom!" Aelita yells again. They had heard a scream and loud noises then nothing. "Xana must have attacked her, we have to get to the Tower!" Aelita runs out from behind a tree. The others run after her.
In the Digital Atlantis Ulrich and one clone have fallen back to the submarine. "Sissi come on we have to retreat!"
"Kiko the more we fight the more monsters we destroy! You can use those to fight and kill Xana!" Sissi wanted to end the fight as soon as possible. She was using too much energy and could feel the corruption creeping into her brain.
"I would never trust humans!" Kiko knocks Sissi backwards with an energy shield. "Give me a ride up now!"
"Fine!" Ulrich flies down and tackles Kiko. "You can have my spot! If, if you can do what you say you can then I'll give you my spot!" Ulrich wasn't using as much power so wasn't as effected as Sissi was. He knew he could fly out on his own if he waited a few minutes for the corruption already growing to go away.
"Stop!" The monsters stop firing. "If you will give me the spot, yes, I can do what I say I can." Kiko pushes Ulrich off.
"Ulrich I command you to stop this!" Sissi wasn't going to leave Ulrich behind. The shock collar appears around Ulrich's neck but he fights it.
"Sissi, we could win. I'll get out later!" Ulrich collapses to the ground as the shock collar gets brighter. "Sissi stop you're hurting me!" The shock collar disappears.
"Fine, Kiko, you're in his bubble." Sissi floats over to the submarine as Kiko uses her Dragon wings to fly over to the far bubble. "Ulrich you better come back!" The bubble closes over Sissi and Samantha flies the submarine away from the Digital Atlantis. Ulrich sits on the ground and watches it leave. A Kankrelat walks over to him and nudges him.
"What? Did I destroy you or something?" This was a city filled with monsters he had destroyed over the years. The Kankrelat nudges him again as a Block walks over to him. "Uh, this is a bit creepy." The Block was a mutated monster with three Tarantula arms sticking out. "What?!" The Kankrelat nudges him again. He puts a hand on it. "This is really creepy." He moves his hand down the Kankrelat never been this close to a monster before. The Kankrelat seems to like what Ulrich is doing so he keeps petting it.
On Earth Sanne is bleeding from the gun shots and the broken leg. She sees a part of her bone sticking out. The mini copter hadn't come for her yet and might not need to. The fall, the bleeding, she could die lying on the floor of the Super Computer Room.
On Lyoko the Lyoko Warriors are getting beaten badly. Aelita used her Creativity twice to destroy the Dragons but the Assassins were too much for the group. Odd and S.S. with the newer powers from Sissi are doing well but Yumi and Jim were hurt. The Assassins were powered up by Xana and the lasers and claws did a lot more damage then before. "Aaaa!" Yumi is slashed across the chest by an Assassin. She feels like she was bleeding but there was no blood on Lyoko. How would she go back to Earth?
"Yumi!" Jim tackles the Assassin and they wrestle but the powered Assassin fights Jim off then fires lasers at him. "Thunder Clap!" He claps his hands together and the energy wave knocks the Assassin away.
"Speed Arrow!" Odd with his Sissi improved powers dodges claws and lasers and gets close enough to hit the Eye. He does a back handspring to get away as the Assassin explodes. This leaves three Assassins but Yumi is hit again by a laser and is sent back to Earth.
"What's that noise?" Yumi hears something that sounds like crying. She looks around, no one was in the room. She walks over to the elevator and as she passes the ladder she hears a sob. "Sanne?" Yumi goes over and looks up, then down, and sees Sanne. "Sanne!" Yumi climbs down the ladder and gets to Sanne. "What happened?"
"I, I'm sorry." Sanne continues to cry as Yumi hears a whirring noise. She looks around and sees the mini copter take off from behind the Super Computer. It fires at Yumi hitting her several times. Yumi falls backwards screaming in pain. There are now two women in the Super Computer Room bleeding, close to death.
Samantha brings the submarine out of the Digital Sea. "Ok where do you want us to land?" She expects a response from Sanne but doesn't get one. "Ok, I'll land it over here." Samantha is in the Ice Sector and lands the submarine on a ice platform. The bubbles open and Sissi jumps out.
"Attack, your friends are under attack." Sissi runs over to Samantha, grabs her arm then they both turn into black mists and fly to the Forest Sector.
"They ran, fine, I'll get to the Core and launch my attack!" Kiko turns around and starts to walk to the edge when something forms in front of her.
"Ah, the rejected one." Lynnette was sent by Xana to destroy Kiko, again. I don't know where you came from but I will send you back there."
"Wrong barbarian I have become a lot stronger then before!" Kiko reveals her Dragon wings and takes off into the sky. She didn't want to fight Lynnette she wanted to get to the Core and begin her invasion of Lyoko.
"No!" Lynnette uses her powers and flies after Kiko.
Jim is fighting with an Assassin and is destroyed. This leaves Odd and S.S. to protect Aelita. As Jim comes out of the Scanner he hears a whirring noise. He looks around and doesn't see anything. He goes over to the elevator and hears the noise get louder. He goes to the ladder and it gets even louder. He looks down and sees the women on the floor bleeding. "Sanne, Yumi, what happened!" He slides down the ladder and lands in a puddle of blood. "No, Sanne, what…" Jim is stopped when a bullet tears through his shoulder. "Aaaa!" He drops to the floor and is hit with more bullets. He now joins the two women adding more blood to the pool already formed.
"Odd, stay back!" Odd had been struck with two lasers, one more would do it. S.S. blocks lasers with her power pole and defends Odd. "Stay behind me, fire at them."
"Ok, thanks S.S." Odd points an arm out and fires Exploding Arrows at the Assassins. The three Assassins, powered by Xana, are too much for the two. They needed help and were about to get it when two warriors appear.
"You losers were beaten by this?" Sissi drops Samantha then gets her axe out. "Move aside, even with the power given to you by me you can't handle a few monsters?" Sissi blocks lasers as she pushes Odd and S.S. out of the way.
"They're stronger then normal, be careful Sissi." Odd never thought he'd say something like that. He was hurt, the lasers burned badly, worse then ever. Sissi needed to destroy three Assassins and she needed to do it now.
"Strong? This is strong!" Sissi destroys two Assassins with her power when she runs into a problem. The corruption got to her brain and starts to affect her. "Get the last one! I can't use my powers anymore!" Sissi drops to her knees and tries to keep the corruption back. "Ulrich, we need you."
Ulrich sitting in the Digital Atlantis hears Sissi's call for help. "I, I could probably make it. Yumi, Aelita, they need me." He creates an energy shield around him and flies up through the Digital Sea. He gets out quickly and already feels the corruption creeping in. He drops the energy shield to cut back on power usage but runs into a problem. He is in the Ice Sector and doesn't know where the others were. His powers weren't as powerful as Sissi's and he couldn't detect where the others were. "Sissi!" He yells and sends a mental message.
"Forest, follow this, please." The corruption wasn't stopping. Sissi had stopped using her powers but it wasn't enough. She sends out another mental message and Ulrich knows where she is.
"Extend!" S.S. flies up into the air high above the Assassin. "Retract!" The power pole retracts and S.S. falls towards the Assassin. She blocks lasers as she falls and when she gets close slams her power pole into the Assassin's Eye. It explodes leaving the Tower open for Aelita.
"Tower deactivated." The Towers fall around her. "Mom? Yumi? Jim?" No response. "S.S. I'm sending you back, tell me if we need a return or not." S.S. materializes back to Earth. She leaves the Scanner and goes over to the elevator. She goes up to the Control Room and finds the control panel destroyed.
"Aelita, Aelita!" She yells hoping Aelita could hear her.
"S.S.?" Aelita thinks she hears something but can't pick it up completely. "Something must have happened, return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up but was it in time?
"Mom?" Aelita had called her mother after the return.
"Hi dear are you ok?" Sanne was fine. The return had been in time.
"Yes mom, you?"
"Don't worry about me Aelita. As long as you're on the phone how about you have dinner over here tonight?"
"If, if I can."
"Jim can take you ok?"
"Alright mom. Love you, bye."
"Love you to dear, bye." They hang up.
Yumi is standing in front of a mirror in her underwear. "The return fixed everything again. I still need a bath." She undresses and takes one.
Jim is in the exercise room lifting weights. "I have to get stronger. I have to protect Sanne and the others."
Kiko however is in the Ice Sector over the Digital Sea. "I, I am still here. I wasn't taken back there." She smiles. "I can bring my city up and take over Lyoko!" She laughs evilly as she plans her attack on Lyoko.
