Code Lyoko: Generation X Chapter 12

Showdown

{Last time we left our warriors}

The others help them to their feet and decided to follow him, as for Jeremie and Tek, they were still examining the crystal which seemed like any normal crystal until it starts to pulsate and screech loudly and even Odd, Yumi, William, Ulrich and Aelita, who were nowhere near Jeremie in the same sector heard it just as loudly. Somehow, they were telepathically linked to Shadow for a moment.

Shadow: Lyoko Warriors, come to me! You have something that is mine... {Looks at Elyon} ...as do I have something that is yours.

{Screen splits showing the five Lyoko Warriors' amazed and cautious faces.}

Yumi: {shudders}...That voice.

Jeremie: {groans} what's he up to?

Ulrich: {sqeezes his eyes shut} No!

Odd: {Too shocked for words} ...

William: {visibly shakes} that can't be possible...He was obliterated, so how does he have a body or is still alive? Supersmoke.

{The Lyoko Warriors leave their respective locations to the presumed location of the Dark Warrior, Shadow. Only to see Elyon and Strafe at his side}

William: {Eyes glowing with rage} ...

Aelita: E...?

Yumi: {Readies her war fans} ...

Ulrich: {Draws his swords} ...

Odd: {Takes aim} ...

{On a far rooftop, Jak watches them. He wanted to see who the winner would be and who was his true ally, either way and regardless of the victor he had no intention of siding with Strafe and would destroy him.}

Jak: {holds his getsuga at his shoulder as he looks at his adversaries} So...the final fights have started, I see. Strafe choosing the losing side, as usual. This should be amusing. {He paces around as he spins his sword around wildly, holding the cloth at its hilt with a chuckle}

{Now...}

Odd: I'm not in the talking mood, so let's make this fast.

He attacks Shadow first, closely followed by the others as Aelita is determined to get her daughter back.

Yumi: {looks at Ulrich and Aelita} Wow, who ticked him off?

Aelita: {shrugs} I don't know but we should get Elyon away from him.

Ulrich: {nods} I'm on it, Aelita. Super-sprint!

{He super sprints over to grab Elyon, only to be parried by Strafe, who got in his way then hit by an attack he didn't even see coming by Shadow}

Strafe: {smirks} I can't let you take my new buddy from me now, can I, Stern?

Aelita: You made the mistake of messing with my family, Dark Warrior.

Yumi: {looks angry} I agree, Aelita.

{The women smile and nod at each other as the males look confused and Jak's eyes are wide in curiosity}

Jak: Now here's an interesting development. {Gets his getsuga ready} I'd have to spring into action sooner than I thought. That Yumi Ishiyama woman can be surprising though. Time for action. {smiles as he kneels in wait, only for Hornets to zoom past his head and he growls} XANA, always a nuisance and thorn in my side that I hate so very much.

Meanwhile, with the Gen X Warriors, they felt sad that they'd not only re-released the Dark One in the first place but lost one of their own, Elyon but even from another sector, they could feel Aelita's and Yumi's powers spike up as the head to another way tower. They got to the tower, only to find the Scyphozoa standing in their way as Krabes came up behind them to prevent their escape, if they should try.

Max: {Backs away} what the hell is that thing?

Koichi: The Scyphozoa.

Jacob: Dad told me about this squid head, it's his least favorite of XANA's monsters. But it appeared when the Dark Warriors first appeared and seemed pretty useless at the time.

Andrew: {Glares at Jacob as they back away and the monster comes closer} great job, Jacob. You just insulted the thing.

The Lyoko Warriors somehow make it past all the monsters and into the tower, but the Scyphozoa followed them and attempted to grab one of them.

Max: {dodges the monster's tentacles} Woah, did your dad ever say what'll happen if it catches someone, Jacob?

Jacob: No, sorry. I can tell you that it isn't good for you though.

They exit the City sector's Way Tower and goes to their parents' aid but the Scyphozoa doesn't follow. They take to the rooftops after destroying the monsters that did follow them only to come upon the rooftop where Jak was but he either doesn't seem to notice them yet or he isn't interested in them as they hid and almost caught his attention.

Jak: {growls and looks behind him} I wonder what that feeling was? Felt like my little rivals, the 'other' lyoko warriors for a second there. I won't allow anyone to interfere before the end of this fight, not even XANA.

Koichi: Great, as if we don't have one double crossing dark warrior to deal with, it's their loner.

Jak: {narrows his eyes without looking at them} Do not call me that, kid.

Max: Wait, what was the point of hiding if he knew we were here in the first place? {He rushes out to attack as the others face palm and Jak dodges and still ignores him}

Jak: Do you mind not doing that, pest? {dodges Max's attack and disarms him before putting his sword to his throat} There's already a fight going on...I said STOP! {He slashes at Max with a threatening growl, pushing him back then notices Elyon missing} Where's the girl with the rock goliath?

Koichi: {Looks at Max and shakes his head} Stop, Max. I don't think he's our enemy here.

Jak: {Looks back at the battle and notices Elyon} You must've fallen for Strafe's trick, why the Dark One's back. You have my help then.

Max: Waaait, what? You're siding with us against Strafe? Isn't he your ally?

Jak: {Gives Max an evil glare and helps him to his feet} He's no ally of mine just because we're both Dark Warriors. Now let's make our presence known.

{The Lyoko Warriors and Jak make it just in time to see Yumi's and Aelita's Super Mode forms. Aelita's super mode doesn't look too different from her original form as she had six angelic pink energy wings as she summons a giant Energy Field without growing weaker. Yumi looked like a more traditional Ninja except for the one giant fan she weilded}

Elyon: {Looks at her friends and pouts at Jak} Guys, help. Why are you with him?

Jak: To save you, useless.

Strafe: {snarls} Jak...

Jak: {glares at Strafe} ...fool.

Strafe: Insults must be your favorite words, huh?

Jak: {gets ready to fight} No, you're just not worth my compliments.

{Everyone starts fighting, Jak VS Strafe, Lyoko Warriors (Elyon included) VS Shadow who takes them all on easily before Aelita knocks him back with two giant Energy Fields in a row. He survives though and counter-attacks, easily knocking Yumi and Aelita out of their Super Mode forms. Elyon then looks very angry as she attacks Shadow and summons Kyros again as he slashes at the Dark One.}

Elyon: Leave my family alone!

{She enters a sort of awakened state as shadows of her Super and Hyper Modes appear around her and she speaks in multiple voices before attacking with a stronger version of her magic blasts which pushes Shadow back a bit before he shakes with rage and devirtualizes them with a dark shockwave. They return to the real world but it seems that Jak was actually devirtualized with them to the real world, looking the same as he did in Lyoko, surprising everyone}

Max: How'd you get here?

Jak: {looks at his hands} that's just what I'd like to find out.

Jacob: {looks at his watch} we could do something about it but we need to get to class right now. We'll worry about this later.

Jake: {looks at Jak} think you can stay unseen by the school for now?

Jak: {nods} ...

A/N - The Lyoko Warriors leave for Kadic as Jak keeps his eye on them without gaining the attention of Kadic as he shapeshifts into a human, while back on Lyoko, Jeremie unlocks the power of the gemstone the teens found, only for Shadow to steal it but what does he plan to use it for?
