I'd never admit it to Jeremie and the others, but a small part of me cheered when the core of Lyoko was destroyed. Sure, it meant that we had no way to stop XANA now and that William was dead. But it also meant that the Scypozoa, that damned tentacled monster of XANA's, could never bother me again.
I've hated that thing ever since I laid eyes on it and it wrapped its tentacles around me. When its got its hold on you, its like you're paralyzed - you're aware of everything that's going on around you but you can't do anything about it. At first I could feel it drawing out my memories, scanning through everything I knew although we didn't know at first what it was looking for. It made my whole body tingle, even though technically we couldn't physically feel anything we touched on Lyoko.
After XANA gained the Keys to Lyoko from my memory, I thought I would never see the Scypozoa again. I hoped that the tentacled creep would just disappear; it had gotten what it came after me for, after all. But no. It showed up again and caught me, but instead of stealing my memories again it downloaded something into my brain - one of XANA's viruses. I don't remember anything about the times XANA possessed me via the Scypozoa; all I remember is it grabbing me, feeling like I was about to pass out, then waking up where the way tower used to be as the sector was deleting.
I hate the Scypozoa. Its made me turn against my friends not once, but three times. Because of it I'm as much to blame for the destruction of Lyoko as William is. I hope I never see it again. And, if we do encounter it after Jeremie virtualizes us onto the Internet, I hope I'm the one to finally destroy it.
