Code: Darkness


Chapter 6

Horror lunged at the Lyoko gang with his staff. Odd fired his laser arrows at him, but he vanished as it flew at him. Odd was kicked in the back and sent into the ground, landing on his face. Horror appeared above him and raised his foot.

Odd rolled over as his foot hit the ground. Ulrich fired an energy wave at Horror, but he jumped into the air and vanished. Ulrich looked around to find Horror, but a large boulder flew and hit him in the back. He hit the ground in a large thud and was not moving.

"Ulrich!" shouted Yumi.

Horror appeared in front of her and hit her with his staff. She hit the ground as Horror stood over her. Jeremy fired a blast at him, but Horror blocked it with his staff and fired a black beam at the ceiling above Jeremy. It collapsed on him.

When the dust cleared Jeremy was on the ground unconscious. Odd fired laser arrows, but Horror fired a black beam that erased the arrows from existence. Horror fired again and it hit Odd in the chest. He fell back and hit the wall.

Aelita ran at Horror, but he vanished and reappeared behind her. He hit her in the head. She fell on the ground. He turned and looked around the room.

"Xana, I know your here! Come out and show yourself." shouted Horror,

"You didn't say please." boomed Xana's voice throughout the room.

Horror was now getting mad.

"I hope your watching, Xana. I will do the one thing you could never do. Get rid of the Lyoko heroes." said Horror.

He turned to the unconscious Yumi and raised his staff. An energy wave suddenly fired and hit Horror in the chest. He was sent into the wall and looked up. It was Ulrich.

He was staggering as he walked over to Yumi, he gritted his teeth, and blood was pouring down his face.

"So, you're still alive. I thought you were dead, Ulrich." said Horror.

Somewhere in the room they could both hear Xana laughing softly. Ulrich knew why he was laughing. He heard Horror tell Xana, wherever he was. That he would get rid of the Lyoko gang. It seemed Xana knew that this was going to happen.

Maybe he was actually learning. Horror did his best imitation of a glare and showed it all over the room, hoping Xana saw it and would shut up. Ulrich felt like laughing at him too, just to annoy him, but he already annoyed with Xana. He raised his swords and fired an energy wave at Horror.

He blocked it with his staff and fired back, or tried to fire back. A pair of fans flew through the air and knocked his staff out of his hand. He turned and saw Yumi jumping into the air and landed in front of Ulrich. Odd, Jeremy, and Aelita stood in front of them as Yumi grabbed Ulrich as he collapsed.

Horror fired a black beam at the ceiling. The room was now collapsing. The Lyoko gang moved as the ceiling fell on them. They jumped over the debris and ran for exit.

Horror appeared in front of them and kicked Yumi back. The ground beneath cracked and opened a dark pit. Yumi grabbed the edge and held on for her life. Horror approached her and raised his staff.

"I may lose, but at least I will kill one of you." said Horror.

Suddenly a black cloud flew out of the shadows and landed in front of Yumi. It took shape and Xana stood in its place. He smiled and swung his sword. The sword knocked Horror's staff out of his hand.

"Now the power you took from the core will be mine." said Xana.

Horror tried to punch him, but Xana dodged it and grabbed his arm. He tossed Horror over the pit. Horror grabbed the edge and could only watch as Xana walked over to the edge. Yumi got up and threw her fans at Horror as he tried to summon his staff with his power.

They destroyed the staff as it flew through the air. Xana smiled at her.

"Thanks for making this easy for me." said Xana.

He grabbed Horror and red energy flew out of Horror's body and into his body. Suddenly an energy wave fired and hit Xana. He was blasted into the air and saw who fired it. It was Ulrich.

"Ulrich . . ." said Xana, glaring.

Horror screamed as the energy wave blasted him too. Xana floated in mid air and flew towards a small portal that opened up on the other side of the room. He smiled at them, and then vanished.

"How do we get put of here?" asked Yumi, holding Ulrich.

"We can't get out the way we came in. It will take too long." said Odd,

"Then we follow Xana." said Aelita.

They ran and entered the portal. Suddenly they were in Lyoko and in front of them was an activated tower. It was unguarded. Aelita entered it and flew to the upper platform. She placed her hand on the screen.

"Looks like I was wrong. Xana did find a way to survive. I should have scanned Yumi just in case Xana tricked us." said Jeremy,

"You shouldn't blame yourself, Jeremy. Xana tricked us all." said Aelita.

"But still, I was sure that Xana was destroyed when Chaos's lair collapsed." said Jeremy,

"At least we stopped Xana from getting what he wanted." said Yumi.

"I'm only sorry he put you through so much pain." said Ulrich,

"There was nothing you could have done." said Yumi.

"Any idea where he's hiding?" asked Odd,

"Probably in Lyoko." said Jeremy.

"Then again, it is better to have Xana out of my body than in." said Yumi,

"I guess we wait until he launches another attack." said Ulrich.

"We'll be ready when he shows himself again." said Jeremy.

They all smiled and walked to class.
