Chapter 13
"This can't be right!" Aelita yelled, luckily the cafeteria was empty since the other students had to go to class but they didn't know that the zombines already got to them. But when Joel and Ellie showed up to tell them that XANA is turning some people into zombines.
Spidey placed a hand on her shoulder in an effort to calm her down. "It's alright Aelita, we'll go..." Aelita pushed her boyfriend's hand off her shoulder and stared daggers at Spidey, tears in her eyes. "You don't understand Spidey, my father, my crush, and friends sacrificed their lifes for me and now it was all for nothing." Then in a fit of rage, Aelita ran out of the cafeteria.
"Aelita!" Spidey tried to call out to her before she got out of earshot. "You guys call Sissy and have her meet you at the factory." Spidey instructed everyone. "Aelita and I will join you as soon as we can." With that being said, Spidey took off in an effort to find with Reneamon and Blade Wolf follow him.
Dawn and the others ran for the factory as the zombines started to run after them, the start of the end is now.
At the factory
In the supercomputer room, Herb and everyone else made a surprising discovery. "About three sectors along with sector five had been deleted. Only one is there still is the forest sector." Herb stated after investigating the supercomputer. "What are you saying Herb?" Nicholas asked the brain. "XANA's deleting itself."
After taking this new information in, everyone made their way down to the lab and Herb sat down in the computer chair and typed a program into the keyboard. "I just activated the superscan, in a few minutes we should find out if there is an activated tower."
Just as Herb finished his sentence, the elevator doors opened and Sissy walked out with a smile, but she was not alone. William walked along side his girlfriend with a confident smirk.
"What are you doing here?" Dawn asked sourly, still a little bitter for what happened last time William was in the computer lab.
"I thought you could use my help." William responded calmly.
"We don't need any fucking help, especially from you." Ellie crossed her arms and glared at him.
"Be nice Ellie." Sissy scolded her fellow warrior. "He's clearly sorry for the way he acted in the past and all he wants is a chance to prove himself."
Before Dawn or Ellie could respond, the supercomputer flashed and beeped, indicating a tower has been activated. Herb quickly began to localize the exact location of the tower.
"Stop this useless bickering; you are all on the same team." Herb told them. "Now the activated tower is in the forest sector."
"Should we go to Lyoko?" Guilmon asked.
Herb thought about it for a minute before coming to a conclusion. "Yeah, you, Joel, and Ellie go to take care of the monsters guarding the tower." Herb said before turning around to look at William. "William, you standby incase of an emergency."
William just rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall. "Whatever..."
Sissy, Joel, and Ellie all headed for the elevator and pushed down the button to take them to the scanner room. As the elevator door opened, the three of entered the empty scanners then waited for Herb to work his magic.
"Here we go." Herb cracked his knuckles and began the virtualization process.
"Transfer Sissy! Transfer Joel! Transfer Ellie!"
"Scanner Sissy! Scanner Joel! Scanner Ellie!"
"Virtualization!"
Next thing they knew, Sissy, Joel, and Ellie were floating above the forest sector and the teens along with the adult landed on one knee as they fell. Herb quickly materialized the Overwing and Overboard, which resulted in them boarding the vehicles and taking off towards the activated tower, which was already in site.
At Kadic
"Aelita?!" Spidey, Reneamon, and Blade Wolf busted open the door to their dorm room only to find no sign of his second girlfriend. He sucked his teeth and turned back around to continue his search, only to be face to face with Taelia.
"Hey Spidey, do you like my new outfit?" Taelia asked, pointing to her purple tank top with a glittered pink butterfly in the middle and her bedazzled jean shorts.
Spidey rolled his eyes and simply walked past her, a little frustrated. "Sorry, I'm a little too bust to chat." He didn't go with his gang before Taelia grabbed his wrist.
"Not before you tell me what you see in that pink haired floozie or that dark blue haired trash." Taelia.
Spidey frozen for a second, before shaken a bit as he turn his head towards her glaring like the Batman. "WHAT the fuck! you call Dawn trash! Well for one thing, they're not two spoiled little brats like you, Taelia BITCH!" Spidey said with a angry face before pulling out of her weak grip and running off.
Taelia put a hand on her side and growled angrily. "No matter what it takes, you will be mine Spidey Parker!"
"Hey look, Taelia has no shirt on!" One of the studnets laughed along with the others as Taelia notice her tank top was gone! Spidey musting done a Sly Cooper steal on her without her know it. Blushing in embarrassment, Taelia looked at the direction where Spidey and his two members took off. Not knowing a horde of zombines coming and started bitting everyone included her.
"If she's not in the dorms, where else could be?" Spidey asked himself as he, Reneamon, and Blade Wolf ran out of the dorm building. Knowing he stole the tank top from Taelia, he would give it to Aelita for her birthday or something like that, but the purple has to go and change it into jet black. Put it up in his backpack, he has everyone stuff packed inside, including Aelita's. "Unless..." Spidey and the gang stopped for a moment, partially to catch his breath but mostly to think clearer. "How could you forget about the Hermitage! Spidey yout idiot!" Spidey yelled at himself before digiolving Reneamon into Kyubimon and mounted her on her back. "Hit it!" Kyubimon nodded and she and Blade Wolf runs towards the woods.
Lyoko
Ellie has a big goofy grin across her face has she recklessly piloted the vehicle, as she took pleasure in the rush of narrowly avoided obstacles.
"I really like this…"
"Stay focused Ellie, remember we have a job to do!" Sissy growled as she's quickly getting frustrated with her friends lackadaisical behavior.
"You don't have to worry, I'm as focused a- " Ellie was interrupted by a laser, which just narrowly missed him.
They looked down and saw Xana's monsters ready for them, two Krabs and one Kankrelat to be exact who are guarding the activated tower.
"Alright! Time for target practice!" Ellie yelled as she shot a couple bullets from her gun at one of the Krabs, each bullet just missing the eye of Xana.
As Ellie fought one of the Krabs, Sissy is currently being teamed up by the other Krab and the Kankrelat. With her halbred drawn, Sissy is able it protect her life points from being hit. Unfortunately, the Overwing isn't as safe. The vehicle eventually got hot enough to be destroyed, forcing Sissy to abandon ship. Once she landed, she quickly twirled her halbred and got into her battle stance. Joel has his shotgun out and was quickly defeating the Krab.
"Shield!" Ellie yelled to protect himself against a couple of the Krab's bullets. Ellie then turned the Overboard around and prepared a dive towards the monster. "Kaboom!" Ellie yelled as she and the monster exchanged attacks. Ellie got hit in the leg, causing her to loss 10 LP but she managed to stay on the board. Fortunately, Ellie's bullet from her gun managed to hit the Krab right in the middle of the eye of Xana. "Yes!" Ellie cheered as she turned around to help Joel.
"Yah!" Joel let lose a shotgun bullet with a fierce battle cry. The pellets flew past the second Krab but managed to cut through it on the way back around. Then Sissy made quick work of the Kankrelat with a single slash from the halbred.
"That's right! She's the best!" Ellie cheered as he did a little celebratory dance on top of the Overboard.
Joel rolled his eyes, still slightly keeping his guard up in case more monsters showed up.
"Don't get too confident Ellie, I have a feeling Xana won't give up that easily." Herb said, keeping an eye on the radar.
Ellie is now piloting her vehicle while doing a headstand. "Relax Einstein, whatever XANA sends our way we'll knock down!"
"Watch out!" Herb warned, when suddenly two Tarantulas appeared from behind the tower.
Not giving Ellie time to get up from her headstand, the monsters fired 3 shots at the defenseless Ellie, quickly devirtualizing her.
"Ellie!" Joel yelled and quickly drew his shorty then tried his best to shot the fast and powerful lasers of the Tarantulas.
The 2 on 1 and 1 assault soon became too much for Joel along with Sissy and they eventually suffered the same fate as Ellie.
"No way!" Herb said to himself loudly.
"Something wrong?" William asked, walking over to the computer to see if anything interesting happened.
"Ellie, Joel, and Sissy are all devirtualized and I still can't get a hold of Aelita!"
"Should I go to Lyoko?" William asked, ready to rush to the scanner room
Herb thought about it for a minute but eventually shook his head. "Not yet, wait here for Aelita and Spidey, who should be here soon."
Herb then entered Spidey's number and decided to see what taking him so long.
Forest
Spidey, Blade Wolf, and Kyubimon are currently running in the forest, the Hermitage now in view. Just as Spidey was about to open the door, his phone rang and when he checked the Caller ID he quickly picked it up as he dismounted Kyubimon.
"Herb, what's up?"- S
"It's a disaster over here, Sissy, Joel, and Ellie got devirtualized and the tower's still activated. We need you and Aelita here immediately!"- H
"Alright calm down, I just arrived at the Hermitage so just wait a couple more minutes."- S
Spidey hung up and entered the ancient house, he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated as he looked around at all of the knocked over and destroyed furniture.
"Aelita!" Spidey called, hoping to get some sort of response back. He walked up the stairs and opened the door to a familiar Aelita's destroyed old bedroom. As he walked in, he saw a familiar pink haired girl curled up in a ball on the bed, letting out loud and painful sobs.
Spidey sits next to her and placed an arm around her. "It's gonna be alright Aelita." Spidey said softly, trying to comfort her.
Aelita rested her head on his chest as she cried and eventually she calmed down. She's now sniffling as Spidey held her, feeling safe in his arm.
"I'm never going back to Lyoko…" Aelita said, breaking a short moment of silence.
"You don't mean that Aelita." Spidey responded, rubbing her back softly. "You're the only one that can deactivate the towers on Lyoko."
Aelita suddenly jumped up, looking in his eyes. "I can't go back, I already lost my dad and my friends during this war with XANA, I can't lose anyone else." Aelita teared up a little again. "Especially you."
Spidey sighed, remembering about leaving this dimension, but he quickly blocked those thoughts out and held her hand. "You can't go on living like that." Spidey told her. "You have to face your fear before it consumes you."
"Don't you understand, I can't do that!" Aelita yelled at him suddenly before going back into her sad previously state. "I'm not strong enough…"
"You're a lot stronger then you think." Spidey told her. "The only thing holding that's you back is yourself."
"What do you mean?" Aelita asked, no longer sad or angry but interested in what he has to say.
"You're a powerful warrior on Lyoko but the only thing stopping you from being the best is your fear." Spidey said. "You're afraid that you'll let us down, that you'll fail on Lyoko. It's ok to have fear, everyone has it, it's how you conqueror it that determines a real warrior."
Aelita looked down at the ground, digesting what her boyfriend just told her.
"I won't force you to go to the factory with me but you have to make a choice." Spidey let go of her hand and stood up, towering in front of her in this situation. "You either come with me and we go deactivate the tower together or you stay here and let not just your friends down but the entire world."
"You're right Spidey I'm scared, I'm scared I'll lose you and the others to XANA." Aelita gulped audibly, but she even surprised herself when she arose from her seat. "But as long as your with me, I will never back down!"
Spidey smiled and motioned towards the door. "Come on, the others are expecting us."
Aelita nodded and smiled back as the couple ran out of the house, remounted on Kyubimon and head towards the factory.
Noticing the zombines coming at them, Spidey told Aelita the plan to leave this planet, she was shock but Spidey told her he can get everyone off of this planet, knowing the virus spread around the world.
Factory
Herb's eyes are glued to the computer screen, staring at the 2 red dots that represented XANA's monsters.
Sissy and Ellie are sulking by the holomap, mentally kicking themselves over their most recent failure along with Joel. While William is waiting impatiently by the elevator.
A few seconds later, the elevator door opened up revealing Spidey, Kyubimon, Aelita, and Blade Wolf inside. "Sorry we're late." Spidey said with a smile.
"At last!" Herb turned his chair around to face the group. "Head to the scanner room, you five are headed to the forest sector."
"Five?" Aelita asked the brain.
"Yeah, I'm gonna help you out." William stated, which surprised the couple.
Aelita looked up at Spidey, who didn't look upset at all. "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go." Spidey told him, which surprised everyone in the lab.
William nodded and accompained Spidey, Kyubimon, Blade Wolf, and Aelita in the elevator, pressing the down button as he entered.
The three teens and Digimon and cyborg wolf soon arrived in the scanner room and they each entered an individual scanner.
Transfer Spidey! Transfer Kyubimon! Transfer Blade Wolf! Transfer William! Transfer Aelita!
Scaner Spidey! Scanner Kyubimon! Scanner Blade Wolf! Scanner William! Scanner Aelita!
Virtualization!
The three warriors and wolf and fox Digimon materialized above the Forest Sector and fell to the ground, landing on one knee, except for Kyubimon and Blade Wolf. Spidey remounted Kyubimon with Aelita right behind him.
"Sorry William, but I have no more vehicles left for you execpt for overbike or Acree bike." Herb told him through the head piece.
William, who has the same attire from when he was under XANA's control except with no eye of XANA in the middle of his bodysuit, smirked. "That's fine, I have my own way of travel anyway." Suddenly, William's virtual body transformed to smoke and accelerated down the path leading to the activated tower, leaving Spidey and Aelita in a state of awe before they followed him.
At the site of the activated tower, the Tarantulas quickly noticed the super smoke and fired their powerful lasers at the smoke with no effect. One of the Tarantulas noticed Kyubimon running towards the activated tower and began firing at her along with Blade Wolf.
Blade Wolf's visors slammed over his eyes. "Combat mode activated." Blade Wolf said and jumped over Kyubimon as Spidey drew his Murasama Blade and began deflecting lasers, buying Aelita enough time to activate her wings and abandon Kyubimon in order for her to make it to the tower alone.
William then appeared in his solid form on top of one of the Tarantulas with one foot on its head and the other on its arm, he then summoned his Zweihander and stabbed the eye of XANA with his brute force. William finally jumped off the monster before it exploded, smiling at his work.
Spidey and Kyubimon dodged and blocked lasers with his sword before sheathing it and activated the Ultimatrix, selecting a form and found it as he slammed the dial. He then did a backflip off of Kyubimon transforming into Humongosaur in mid air without the bright green light, as he flipped in air as Aelita looked back to see Spidey transforming into Humongosaur and landed prefectly on both feet. Humongosaur swing his tail and rammed into Tarantula, destroying it as it went flying down to the digital sea and caused a blue light shot up.
Humongosaur looked back at William and noticed that he made quick work out of the other Tarantula, causing him to smile. He soon heard a rumbling, which caused him to turn around and slap the Ultimatrix dial, four prongs pop out and changing into Ultimate Humongosaur.
A Megatank began rolling down the path they came from and appeared right in front of U. Humongosaur, it opened it's shell and quickly fired one of it's massive lasers at him. This forced U. Humongosaur to cross his arms and block the blast. Spidey is already having trouble blocking, the power behind the laser is pushing U. Humongosaur back, even while he's trying his best to stand in place.
Acting quickly, William activated his super smoke and accelerated to the side of the Megatank along with Kyubimon and Blade Wolf and gave it a powerful shoulder block when William returned to his solid form, the force caused the monster to fall off the edge and into the digital sea.
William then walked up to U. Humongosaur, who is on one knee after he became exhausted after blocking the Megatank's laser.
He soon stood up and nodded at William. "Thanks."
William smiled and nodded back.
Aelita finally arrived at the activated tower and entered the tall structure, knowing this may be the last time they coming to Lyoko. She walked to the middle of the first platform and looked up, causing her to levitate to the second platform. She then walked to the middle of that platform, causing an interface to appear. Aelita placed her hand on the middle of the interface and entered the code LYOKO. "Tower deactivated!" Aelita said to herself as screens fell behind her.
Meanwhile zombines found their way to the factory. Herb saw them, they were cure of the virus, but didn't happened.
After the devirtualization and Spidey got out of his alien form, the gang saw the screens full of zombines as they try to make their into the supercomputer room.
"What are we going to do?!" Nicholas yelled.
"I think it's time to leave this dimension. Spidey?" Aelita asked as Spidey nodded and got out his Solar Cell Morpher of the Solaris Knight and beings out the Travelion card as Spidey puts the ticket into the clipper and punch it a hole on it and the Travelion card shining bright in a golden light. Suddenly the elevator doors open up as a white light consumes inside as it changes to inside of a train station, there was a loud train whistle as the Solar Streak Express shows up as it pulls into the station and Spidey and the others get into the station. Aelita, Herb, William, Sissy, Nicholas, and Riley got ahold of their Lyoko forms, the train stops with a hiss as it puffed out smoke from the bottom. Jenji appeared from Spidey's pack. "All board!" He yells as Spidey got into the cockpit of the train as Pikachu and Beautifly got in there along with Dawn, Piplup, and Aelita as the others got into the passenger cars.
The supercomputer shuts down as XANA kills himself. The horde of zombines got into the supercomputer room from the top, the elevator doors closed.
"Let's roll." Spidey sits in the chair with Jenji shoving coal into the furnace, he pulled a lever, causing to the train to spin it's wheels and chugs forward as the train's whistle goes off.
The zombines try to get in, the train leaves the station as it thunders down the tracks, about two miles later it reach the ocean, the Solar Streak suddenly lifted into the air as it flys from the tracks as they disappeared and the Solar Streak flew into the air as it open up a portal and went there.
The Solar Streak flys through the darkness of the dimension tunnel. Spidey sighs knowing they ain't coming back to their dimension which was the Code Lyoko Universe, they set to find a new home in the next universe.
