Chapter 4
THE GUARDIANS REUNITE
As Yumi and Black Rose Dragon rushed to the other guardians Samaya and the others on Earth was having a hard time fighting the monsters that Xanafar had sent to expose them. Samaya, Nakita and Sissi had transformed into their guardians of course but they didn't know exactly how they were going to stop Xanafar from exposing them. Just then Alina heard the familiar voice of Cayne, Ulrich's twin brother like Jin was Yumi's twin, but then she heard Aira's sister Arina the only one that she knew to be able to wipe the memories of humans. She was the only one that Alina knew that had mastered that level of training. Not even Yumi who was older in training knew that spell. So now that they weren't in danger of being exposed she Sephia and Natsumi unleashed their true powers.
After the battle was through on Earth and Arina was wiping the memories of those who saw the fight Alina, who was Samaya once more asked how in the worlds had Cayne and Karina got there so fast.
"Simple." said Acheron. "I overheard Yumi telling Jin that XANA was acting up again and I called Karina and she said that she had noticed some strange things going on in the town so her and Cayne went and called Ulrich just to find that he was in Lyoko. So we came here and we found you three fighting XANA again."
"Dang you're really good when it comes to that. Huh?" said Nakita.
"Well Yumi did train us." said Karina as she walked up to them and stared at Samaya's arm. "You okay with your arm?"
"Oh yeah. I'll get one of the others to heal it." she said brushing the blood away.
"Okay should we head back to the others?" asked Cayne wondering where they were since they weren't with the others helping them which was the main reason he and Karina had helped them. "By the way-"
"The factory." said Sissi shortly.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones trying to improve." said Karina impressed
"Sephia hears thoughts and because of that so do I." said Sissi "Now we need to set everything back the way it was before this happened."
"I'll call Jerik and fill him in." said Samaya pulling her phone out, but just then Sissi yanked it out of her hand and hid it in her pocket. Samaya was just about to ask what the heck she was doing when the principal walked over to them.
"Mr. Stern, Ms. Sukino everything is in order and taken care of. I see that you have already gotten to know some friends and everything. That's good. By the way have you seen your brother?" asked Delmas
"No sir but we'll let him know that you're looking for him." said Cayne
"Thank you." he said and left.
"Alright Alina go ahead and call him." said Sissi handing Alina's phone back to her.
"Okay." she dialed Jeremy's phone knowing that Jerik would answer as she Natsumi and Sephia had felt the power surge during the battle.
'Hey what's happening over there?'
"Everything's good Jerik thanks to Cayne and Karina." said Alina
'Good. Wait how did they find out?' asked Jerik
"I can't explain. You'll have to let them. We're on our way back unless you need us here longer."
'No come on back. Aelita and the others have just reached the tower and she's deactivating the tower now.'said Jerik.
"Alright were on our way. You'll have to do a return to the past to get rid of the damage."
'Alright will do. Just get back here.'
"Alright we'll be right there."
Yumi flew on her dragon after Jeremy told her where the others were and when she saw an army of Krabs and tarantulas. She knew that it would be bad if they destroyed the tower because she knew that Aelita was in the tower. "Man XANA can't you ever stop? Black Rose!"
'Right.'
"Black Rose Gale!" shouted Koda.
"Hey Sis 'bout time you got back!" hollered Taisho
"Oh shut up Tai." said Koran.
"Where's Alucurd?" asked Karone
"In the tower." said Zentos
"Okay. By the way XANA's gotten more powerful." said Karone to Aira, Link and Kyo.
"How so?" asked Link disgusted. He absolutely hated the fact that the very guardian that he had helped all those years ago trapped him in his element.
"He's managed to virtualize the Dragon Serpents." said Karone
"I thought that was a myth." said Alucurd as she walked up to them
"Obviously not." said Kyo
"Jerik?" said Alucurd
"Got it. Get ready guys I'm going back in time."
"Right." said all the guardians.
(yesterday)
"So you mean that XANA has managed to gather enough strength to actually summon the Dragon Serpents?" asked Acheron. As they walked from the Hermitage house where they had all met after Cayne, Jin, and Karina had joined them.
"Yeah not only that but I think he's creating the replicas again." said Karone, who was telling them everything that she had heard before they left Lyoko.
"Not again." complained Kyo.
"Yeah we had enough trouble with them last time." Koran
"I know but I'm sure that's what I heard." Karone stated to her friends.
"Well I know that I haven't been on them." said Sissi.
"No one except for Ulrich Odd Yumi and myself has." said Aelita.
"And William but that was during the time he didn't know anything." said Yumi and William nodded to her hating the fact that he nearly killed Yumi. Despite the fact that her and Ulrich are together and him and Samaya are together didn't mean that he loved her any less.
"So what do we do?" asked Arina and Aira together. It always creped Karone out whenever they acted more like one than two separate twins like Taisho and her was.
"I know what." said a voice that could belong to only one person. The one that hated Yumi and her friends more than Xanafar. Drake Blade.
"Blade." said Jin coldly stepping in front of Ami with the other boys doing the same with their girlfriends. "What do you want?"
"What else Ishiyama? The same as before you left."
"Hey Drake looks like they've gotten new members of their group and these two we don't know." said Clay walking out from the forest.
"Your right Clay. Well this is a bonus." said Drake.
"You really sure you want to fight me and the rest of us considering we completely out number you even without the girls help?" said Jin
"Well I think we'll clarify that." said Drake snapping his fingers and calling out all his cronies. Jin had to admit he was impressed as to how many people could be bought just to 'rough' up a few kids but luckily for them this time they had Sissi on their side which meant that because of her Drake and Clay couldn't really do anything. For at that moment Jim walked over and saw what was going on and decided to intervene.
"Well it's been a while there Mr. Ishiyama I hope that you're planning on staying longer."
"I sure am Jim." Jin said smiling he knew thanks to Yumi telling him about what had happened during his absence from the fight that Jim knew about Lyoko and everyone there. Except for Ulrich's brother and Ami's sister.
"That's good as for you two and your friends there. Anyone that does not go to school here must leave now before I call the cops for you trespassing on school property during school hours." said Jim causing everyone to jump and scatter. "And as for you two Drake and Clay from what I overheard you saying to Jin and company here you'll be lucky if you don't get expelled." to Jin and the others hearing Jim put the two down was awesome. Then Jim turned and said that they should be getting back to the school after this the principal will be out for blood. "This way you can say you were in the dorms."
"Okay thanks for the heads up Jim." said Sissi.
"Sure. Move it you two." he called and the three left.
"Alright guys you heard Jim lets head to the room." said William.
"Actually I don't think that all of us will be able to fit in William's room." said Yumi
"What do we do then?" asked Aelita. "You heard Jim."
"I did. What we need to do is split up. Seven goes to William's room and seven goes to one of the others." said Yumi.
"Alright Lets go." said Odd and he started walking back to the school, but then he turned around and asked who went were.
"I thought you would ask that. Actually we need to fill everyone else that we freed in and everything else." said Yumi. "So what we really need to do is send someone that knows everything. The only problem with that is it would be difficult to do that way in two rooms so… Jin you go with William, Odd you go with Nakita, Aelita go with Zhane, Cayne go with Ulrich, Karina go with Ami and Jeremy you go with Samaya. Sissi and I will go and make sure that Delmas knows we're in the dorms."
"Alright. So what about mom and you-know what, Sis?" asked Jin.
"I'll take care of it. How about we meet at the house in about three hours. Jin you come back before then so we can set things up."
"Okay." said Jin and everyone went their own ways. But then Yumi stopped and asked Sissi if she could come to her house after they talked to her father.
"Sure but why?"
"Jin and I want to have sleep over at the house with all the Guardians there so that if XANA attacks we can handle it there."
"Not bad Karone." said Sissi
"Thank you Sephia." said Yumi and they dissolved into giggles.
As they walked to the school Yumi asked Sissi why other than the fact that she was a guardian did Sissi start hanging with them. Sissi said that when she started to remember things that Sephia knew she told Herb and Nicholas that she wanted to talk to Yumi and the others but Herb didn't like that and well he left her high and dry after he saw her with Zhane and everything. Yumi could kind of see Herb's point but she could also see Sissi's. "What about Nicholas?"
"He don't really care either way. Herb left Kadic three months ago and well Nick doesn't want to leave his girlfriend anyway. But he don't care that I'm hanging out with you guys more. Actually to be honest he don't even understand it."
"Well that's a bonus." said Yumi as they reached the office and asked Ms. Weber if the principal was in.
"He is and he wants to see you Sissi." said Ms. Weber. "Yumi you sit out here and wait for Sissi."
"Actually Ms. Weber Yumi needs to see him too." said Sissi.
"Alright go on." she said and Yumi silently applauded Sephia. The girl knew that it was her work that caused Ms. Weber to bend to their will so quickly. Yumi also knew that Sephia didn't like doing that to anyone but when she didn't have a choice well she did what she had to.
"Daddy? You wanted to see me?"
"Yes Yumi come on in I need to see you as well."
"Of course Mr. Delmas." said Yumi and she walked in.
"Please shut the door behind you." he said and then he turned to Yumi first. "As I understand it you want to take twelve students and have a party at your house with them staying there? Is that correct?"
"Yes sir." said Yumi
"And your aware if I said yes that you'll be responsible for everyone?"
"Yes sir."
"Very well. If your parents say yes then it's all settled."
"Thank you sir."
"Now Sissi as for you. You want to go to their party?"
"Yes Daddy."
"And if I let you go you promise not to do anything stupid?"
"Yes."
"Alright. But promise me one more thing don't do anything with your boyfriend."
"Dad I'm not like that. And neither is Zhane."
"That's good." he said "Now you two go on."
"Thank you sir." said Yumi and they walked out. They held their breaths until they knew that they were well out of earshot and started squalling.
"You know Sephia I never understand you." said Karone as they walked back to Yumi's house to 'talk' to her parents.
"Why?" asked Sephia.
"Well before Xanafar sealed us up you never used your mode bending on anyone. Now you just enabled us to have a party with approval through your dad."
"Yeah well. You want me to do your mom?" asked Sephia
"No I don't think that's going to be necessary since Jin is already here and almost has her and Father convinced."
"He's done with William already?"
"William already knew almost everything. Jin just had to explain the things that had went on while William was AWOL." said Karone and she and Sephia walked through the door.
"Oh."
"I don't know Jin no supervision?"Yumi heard her mother say.
"Mother Yumi and I are nearly eighteen and you know Yumi is engaged to Ulrich. Besides we'll have William, Samaya, Nakita, Karina, and Ami as well. And they're almost eighteen as well."
"Alright. It's fine with me. Hiroki?"
"Yes. But you have to tell your sister. And make sure the principal knows."
"Alright." said Taisho but unknown to their parents he knew that Karone was standing out there with Sephia. And that Delmas knew already.
Motioning to Sephia, her and Karone silently ran back outside and then waited till Jin walked to the door. "Well speak of the Devil. Mother and Father were just asking where you were Sis. Hey Sissi."
"Hey Jin. Can I come in?" asked Sissi
"Well seeing as your with my sister I assume so." said Jin standing back.
"Cute." said Sissi walking in after Yumi. Yumi walked up to her parents hugged them both and introduce them to Sissi.
"Hey Sis got good news." said Jin
"Me too. Let's go upstairs." said Yumi after she got done.
"Kay."
"So what did your father say Sissi?" asked Jin
"We are good." said Sissi "They'll be here later this evening."
"Great I assume you know that things are good here?" asked Jin
"Yeah we heard." said Yumi
"Good you know how I hate to repeat myself anyway."
"So what's this really about, Jin?" asked Sissi
"Well even though the others know almost everything about Xanafar, they don't know it all. Yumi knows more about it than anything. So she's going to finish telling the history to the others tonight." said Jin
"Oh. How come you still remember everything about what had happened even after Xanafar sealed us and we don't Karone?"
"Because thanks to Black Rose I didn't really get sealed away." said Karone
"But I saw you." said Taisho shocked. It was true he had saw his sister get sealed right beside Koran.
"No what you saw was a clone." said Karone. "I Duplicated and fled on Black Rose. I knew that there was no way I would have been able to take Xanafar out on my own. I had to find the new guardians and had them free you guys."
"Oh well that makes sense." said Sephia.
"Okay right now we have to set up for the 'slumber party'." said Karone and her and Sephia went to Yumi's room.
"Hey Yumi?"
"Yeah Sissi?"
"I was wondering why were you so accepting to me in your group even before I told you about Sephia?" asked Sissi as they were making Yumi's room big enough to hold seven girls and more.
Yumi stopped and thought back to when Sissi walked up to her Ulrich and Zhane when Yumi had freed Sephia. Her and Ulrich had been surprised in who it was the Sephia was the guardian of but had since come to accept it. "I don't know I guess it was where you was always trying to help out before you even knew about us." said Yumi "After you stopped going after Ulrich."
"Oh. I thought it was because I liked Zhane."
"I think that was the reason Aelita liked you." said Yumi laughing.
"Yeah me too." said Sissi laughing as well. Then she looked at Yumi. "Do you think we have a chance now that Aelita and the others knows?"
"Yeah I think so."
"Let's hope so."
'I agree Sephia let's hope.' thought Yumi as she got everything ready for the other five girls that were coming later that night.
