1. Episode 1: XANA's Resurrection

Code Lyoko: Season 5 - XANA's Resurrection

The group of 4 kids stood in Jeremie's room, wondering what they were going to do with the new lives they now had together. XANA had finally been defeated only 2 days ago, and they shut down the super computer yesterday. With thier little virtual world, thier very best friend, Lyoko, now gone for good, what were wondering what they going to do. Yumi sat on Jeremie's bed, watching Odd as he did a handstand against the wall. He smiled that same smile of his like he always did. Aelita watched Jeremie as he typed on the computer. Odd and Yumi had no idea why they were still interested in searching the net. The multi-agent program Jeremie created, with the help of a mister Franz Hopper, otherwise known as Waldo Scheiffer, destroyed XANA, and all of his little Replikas. Ulrich was no where in the room. Odd decided to be the first to ask the question you all and Yumi and himself must have been asking themselves.

"Hey, Einstien?"

Jeremie simply turned the chair around to face his friend. Normally, he would only stare at the computer screen and say, "what, Odd?" But today was different, Jeremie now had all the time he could spare for his friends and now faced them to listen rather than simply hear them out. "What is it, Odd?"

"If XANA's dead, and the super computer shut off, why are you still searching the net?"

Aelita decided to answer the question. "Well, Odd. You see, we are searching the net for someone. My father. I still have a hope that he somehow survived what happened to him. I mean, you can't really die in Lyoko, we figured that out when William destroyed Lyoko. He should've been virtualized forever, but he came back. Maybe, my father survived and escaped to the network. I want to find him."

"But your father's gone, Aelita." Yumi told her. "I hate to say it..." Yumi got up and put her hand on Aelita's shoulder. "Your dad is gone."

Aelita shook her head calmly. "No he's not. We recieved a message from him yesterday via e-mail."

Odd and Yumi jumped at this, a shocked expression on both faces. Odd got up and walked to the Einstiens.

"How come you never told us! You know what kind of important news that is?" Odd told them.

"You two need to focus more on your school work and no more of this virtual world stuff. Those days are over." Jeremie told Odd. "Aelita and myself practically know as much as a College instructor who took college 10 years in a row just to be a great college teacher. However, you two need to get back to your lives. Originally, we were going to save it as a surprise, but since you asked, we told you the truth."

"Besides, Odd. Does my father really concern you?" Aelita asked him. "I mean, we all are going to split up and go our seperate ways once we graduate High School. Yumi is going to graduate in two years, and us three."

"But I thought all 5 of us had something special! We've spent so long together, I thought we would all move in one big mansion together, and you know, stay friends forever! We saved the world, I atleast think we should enjoy it together." Odd complained.

Yumi smiled. "Odd, come on. We can still be friends, even when we graduate, but your idea of living isn't like ours. We plan to get married, have kids with our lover, and sit back, and relax in a nice house all to our family."

"I thought we were family!"

"Odd." Aelita calmly said. "We still have two years, all together. There is plenty of time to spend with us. Don't worry, when you find someone you trully love, you'll forget all about us when you meet her after we go our ways."

"No I won't!" Odd told all 3 of them. "I gave up my only 'love' to rescue Lyoko when William first got possessed. I stood her down for not telling me something really important and she said that we would never speak again. I gave up 'love' for you all, my best friends... my only friends. I don't want to lose that just because we are going to graduate."

"But Odd..." Yumi told him. "I plan to move back to Japan, and Jeremie and Aelita plan to go America."

"What about Ulrich!"

"Um..." Yumi scratched the back of her head. "I don't really know..."

"What! Come on! You two still aren't dating yet! I mean really, what is holding you two back now! I mean, XANA is gone, and I can recall several times Ulrich tried to tell you his true feelings and Jeremie always interrupted. This is stupid." Odd finished and picked up his bag and made for the door.

Aelita stepped forward. "Odd, where are you going?"

"To find Ulrich. Maybe he shares my vision of what we all are!" Odd answered and slammed the door. Jeremie and the others winced and shared worried looks to one another.

Yumi sat back down and looked at the picture Odd had drawn for Jeremie's birthday present. It was a picture of the 5 of them. She picked it up and looked on the bottom. It had words written by Odd saying "Best friends forever". She couldn't help but feel guilty for how they made Odd feel. It's like they thought Odd would probably just leave them alone because of what just happened. Yumi sighed and put the picture back on the desk.

"Maybe we should do what Odd wants, you know? We all have sacrificed so much for one another, how could we just leave that with the super computer?"

"Well, Yumi…" Jeremie started. "Like you said, we all don't share the same vision or idea for that matter, of living. Odd wants to stick to us simply because we saved the world. We can't live like kids forever."

"Well, maybe an exception can be made in our case. Hmm? I mean, we did go through so much to get Aelita out of the super computer, we all tried to free Franz Hopper, and plus we all killed XANA, together. All Odd wants is to stay with that, let's not take that from him. If anything, I don't care where I live, as long as… well, he is by my side, I won't care if I share a place with you and Aelita." Yumi explained.

Aelita simply looked at Jeremie. "You know, I wouldn't mind that either come to think of it. I think I may be really happy living like that, with the best friends in the world."

Jeremie just looked at her, bewildered. "Come on you two, we are not animals, only animals live in packs like that. We are human beings, a man and a woman get together, eventually get a house, make their own children which they raise themselves. I'm not going to accept it now, or ever." Jeremie finished that and turned right back to his computer.

Yumi and Aelita understood. He was entitled to his own opinion after all, but maybe two more years in school could change his view on that idea. Aelita looked at Yumi, a look that said 'can we talk'. Yumi nodded and stepped outside with Aelita.

"So…" Yumi started. "What do you want to do?'

"I want to stay with Jeremie more than ever… but I also want Odd and my other friends to be happy. I really would not mind living like that, a big mansion, me and Jeremie would be making enough money to pay the bills, and everyone else can get the other stuff. By the way, Odd's right you know…"

"About what?" Yumi asked.

"What's holding you two back now?"

Yumi stared into space for a second, and answered. "Ulrich is. He has never worked up the courage to ask me out yet, and if I did that, he would probably feel invaded, since he is the guy."

"Or he might feel very relieved and say yes."

Yumi couldn't help but think of that option as well, but she knew Ulrich, his pride would get the better of him, even when he really wouldn't want that and feel utterly disgusted by what just happened. Ussually, the guy is the one to ask the girl, not the other way around. Yumi just looked down and sighed.

Ulrich stepped out of his room, clean clothes on and all. After a nice hot shower, was the time to go get some dinner. Yep, he wondered what they were having that night. Maybe Odd would- no, Odd will know what their having. Ulrich set off in the direction of Jeremie's room when Odd came running down the hallway.

"Ah." Ulrich said, enlightened by Odd's appearance. "Where are you running off to, dinner isn't in 10 minutes."

Odd panted and stood up. "Ulrich, I want to ask you something. Would you be okay if you, me, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremie all lived together after college?"

Ulrich stood there, wondering what came over his friend. "What, of course not."

Odd's world suddenly broke apart. No one thought the way he did.

"I mean, everyone has their own life, college or school they want to go to, different careers which involve being in a certain place for that. I'm sure the others think the same way."

"You sure are right about that, Ulrich. They do…" Odd answered disappointed with a slight sense of anger in his voice. "I'm going to go to dinner. See you later." Odd stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked down to the lunch room. Ulrich sighed as he watched Odd walk away. He had never seen Odd so broken down before. He walked to Jeremie's room and found Aelita and Yumi discussing something outside the door.

"Hey you two." Ulrich stated. "What are you two talking about?"

Yumi started madly blushing. She looked at Aelita, who nodded with a grin on her face. Yumi looked down as if she was afraid to do something. She walked to Ulrich and looked him in the eyes. Ulrich's cheeks turned crimson.

"Ulrich…" Yumi stuttered. "Um… would you mind telling me what you were going to say before… um… you know… what I said." Yumi closed her eyes, expecting a no. Ulrich took advantage of this opportunity, nothing could stop him now, even William after what all had happened with him.

"Before you said what?" Ulrich teased. He looked away, blushing, but giving a smile that Yumi couldn't see.

"Um!" Yumi said, straightening herself up and looking to the left wall. "Be, be, before I said, um… let's just stay friends…" Yumi winced. This was her first time ever doing something her heart dearly wanted. Something for love.

"Oh…" Ulrich said. "Well, I wanted to ask you something." Ulrich looked at her now. Yumi couldn't help but look with her eyes, and look away. Ulrich could tell she was scared and nervous. This is why he had to ask her. He knew that this is what she wanted to hear, but she was scared all the same of how he would react if she asked him.

"What would that be… Ulrich?" Yumi said.

"Will… will you go on a, uh…" Ulrich suddenly couldn't find the word. He had it, but his brain just froze. Ulrich started trembling. What's going on? Why can't I just say this last word, I'm right there! Come on Brain, help me! Some one, please help! Odd, if you were here, you could help me finish this!

Yumi turned her head to Ulrich slowly. She could tell by the look on his face that he was now inside his own mind, the nervousness froze time to him. She decided she would wait on it. He needs his time to do this too, just like she did. She stood there, and waited, ever so patiently to finish that sentence. All he needed was to say that one word or four words.

Ulrich was trembling beyond belief now. Then, all of a sudden, a boy came down the hall behind Yumi. He was just walking. He had on a black jacket, with a bit of an extension sticking out underneath it like a jacket he saw off of Yugioh GX. He had on dark green, cargo pants, sneakers, red and black, and a black hat with a pitch black shirt on. The jacket was unzipped and he had blonde hair, and emerald eyes. His eyes looked cold, colder than anything he had seen before. He walked past them, not paying any attention to what was going on and just continued down the hall. Ulrich cleared his throat, and finally found the word he had been searching for. "A date, with me!" Ulrich pushed the words out of his throat. He looked to see Yumi smiling and she held both of his hands and her mouth moved. Everything else went silent but her voice. He heard her say, "yes". Ulrich's eyes widened just like his mouth. Aelita smiled at this development.

"That's so beautiful. I gotta tell Jeremie." Aelita opened the door and walked in the room, leaving the two lovebirds alone.

In a room of complete darkness, a boy sat on his bed, crunched up. His eyes were dilated and he looked like he hadn't been getting any sleep lately. His black hair was messy and his room looked messy aswell. His name as William. He could hear the screams of the Lyoko warriors as sliced at them with his sword. He closed his eyes to drown out their voices. What was he seeing? Was this, what happened while he was a slave of XANA? He closed his ears, and tried the hardest he could to drown out the voices and sights of Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi. He shook his head madly.

"No." He said aloud to himself. "It's not my fault! Please, help me! I don't, I don't want to do it! I'm, I'm a Lyoko warrior, not one of XANA's. No!" He saw himself swing the Zweihenger at Yumi, who had apparently dodged the sword. She waved her fan in front of his face, taunting him. "You can never beat us XANA, you hear?" He heard Yumi say that. Then, he kicked her. He saw the look in her eyes the entire time. Hate, pity, disgust, mistreatment, love, caring, softness, and determination. Did she not like him anymore? He bet she didn't. He squeezed his eyes shut, and tightened up the ball he was in. Tears came to his eyes as he could see himself chasing down Aelita in what seemed to be a mountain like area. He cried. "Please, forgive me! It's not my fault!" He saw Aelita fall on the mountain floor and look at him with fear. He formed smoke in his own hand and fired it at her. He could hear her say something very distorted, but kind and urgent. "No!" He saw himself throw her against a rock and then he picked her back up and brought her to him. He heard himself say something. It didn't sound like him at all. He couldn't make out the words, but he saw Aelita's eyes. He opened his own. He still was seeing the vision in his head. Her eyes, her brilliant eyes. He could tell, she, out of everyone, she who he tortured the most, understood him. Her eyes held such feelings, understanding, forgiveness, happiness, trusting, pity, sorrow for the person she was looking at, helplessness, innocent, hope, depending on the person she was looking at. She knew how he felt, she wanted to help him more than fight him. William felt disgusted at himself for ever hurting her. He had to make it up, somehow.

Odd stood in the factory, looking at the super computer. All his friends had not seen the way he saw. The way he thought, he believed it was right. After all they had been through, they didn't want to stick together throughout life. He winced at the thought as he pressed the elevator door. The elevator went down and down until it stopped and opened, revealing a circular room. Odd stepped inside and the floor in front of him opened, and a tall super computer came out from the floor, mist flowing off it's surfaces and down on the floor. Odd stepped to it and a small door opened up, revealing a lever. It made it's way out towards him, waiting for him to push the lever down. Odd just stared at it. Then, he looked back over everything. He figured he was being a cry baby, but after all they had gone through, he knew that after school, they would all go their separate ways and forget about one another. Ulrich had Yumi, and Jeremie had Aelita. He had nobody. He reached for the lever, and grabbed it. He winced and squeezed his eyes shut as he pulled down the lever and the super computer turned on! It flashed and pulsated so strongly, it blew Odd's hair into a mess. Odd took his hand away slowly and the door closed, hiding the lever. Odd stepped in the elevator and it went up into the computer lab. It opened and Odd saw the computer, and the projection of Lyoko was in the center of the room. Odd went to the computer and looked in Jeremie's book to find the delayed virtualization. After about 5 minutes, he found it and typed in the commands. He set the time for 1 minute and 45 seconds. He stepped in the elavator and headed into the scanner room. Finally, he stepped in his scanner, and it closed. The doors shut and Odd felt himself fly upward. He hovered over the floor and soon, a massive wind swept him away and he found himself in the air of a blue, dome like area. He fell on the floor, on all 4 limbs and stood on the rotating floor which held the eye of XANA. The corridor stopped spinning and a door opened up. Odd, by habit, ran into the corridor. He found himself running down a hallway and soon, at an intersection heading left or right. He ran left, a direction in this room, the first room in sector 5 he and the others ever laid eyes on, a room where the scyphozoa had first been encountered. He ran and ran, running from his problems on earth. It got darker and darker and soon, pitch black. Next thing he knew, ran straight into a wall and fell on his butt. He rubbed it and looked at it.

"Ow!" He stood up and tried to get a visual of what he was seeing. Soon, his cat-like vision took place of his regular sight, giving him the ability to see in this darkness. He looked around and saw a corridor. "Huh?" He walked to it and stepped inside.

At dinner, Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremie all sat at their usual table. Ulrich then noticed something. "Hey, where's Odd?"

The others soon noticed this and looked around. "Yeah." Aelita stated. "Where is he, it's not like him to miss dinner."

"Maybe he's still mad." Jeremie concluded. "He really needs to grow up. Anyway, Yumi, why are you still here, aren't your parents going to get mad if you don't get home?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I already called. I told them I would eat here and come home around 9."

Jeremie just nodded and gave her a good-for-you kinda look. Then, they all saw someone come to the table they hadn't expected to come. It was William Dunbar. He stood at the table with his lunch tray in his hands.

"Hey guys… is it okay if I sit here?" William asked.

Yumi looked away. "No William. I don't think now is a good time. Give us some time to get over what happened, okay, but don't stray away."

"You all act like what happened is my fault. It was totally out of my control, I was a prisoner of XANA, helpless and forced to do his bidding. If you guys are going to be like that, then I'm just going to go sit and stay some where else."

"Fine." Ulrich said, relieved that his used to be competition was now going to leave them alone. "You should go."

William squinted at Ulrich and then at Yumi. "Fine." He then turned around and walked away. Aelita looked at him.

"Hey, William!" Aelita said. William couldn't help but stop, remembering her eyes, her beautiful, uxorious, deep forgiving, understanding eyes. He wanted to take the chance to look at them, just one more time before he made his departure to another table.

Aelita stood up. "Can I sit with you then?"

William's face brightened up and relaxed. "Sure, I don't see why not." Aelita picked up her tray and followed William to the lone table his clone used to sit at. Jeremie shook his head, not understanding why she had done that.

Aelita and William arrived at the table, and they sat down. William proceeded with eating and Aelita did the same. William then wanted to start a conversation.

"So…" He said. Aelita looked at him. "Did I do good?" Aelita just looked down. She remembered how he was like on Lyoko before the XANA took advantage of his wandering and amazed mind and possessed him.

Aelita smiled. "Yeah, you did do good William."

"Hmm…" William just took another bite. "Not good enough I suppose…"

Aelita stopped eating and stared at him. He had a look of guilt on his face, he didn't even try to finish the food he put in his mouth. Aelita couldn't help but feel sorry for him, but does he remember everything that happened on Lyoko while he was under XANA's control? The others didn't understand, and she thought they didn't want to. William was helpless at that time, all the actions he committed were through XANA, not on his own accord or even in his control. The brink moments the real William came to on those days were really hard for him, and XANA ceased total control of him the second time he came to in the Ice Sector. He couldn't stop himself from doing the things he did on Lyoko. Aelita completely understand the situation he was in, but no longer. But now, if he recovers those memories, they will stay and haunt him every day of his life. What he did is something that no sane human would ever do in their life. Only very evil beings were capable of doing things like that, but no human could ever be that evil, which is why XANA is so scary. He is no human, he is a program, a multi-agent system, a super virus capable of going to feats no one could ever hope to comprehend or understand. XANA was psychotic, merciless, it was just pure evil. She wondered what would be going on if Jeremie had never made that multi-agent program to kill XANA. She wished that William could've gone on that last mission with them, and work side by side to avenge himself for his uncontrollable actions. William was in the same position, or maybe a more worse position than her father was in. He was a prisoner of XANA, and forced to be slave, a dependable, strong slave he used to hurt his new found friends. Aelita wanted to comfort William, she could see the pain in his eyes, the pain of those memories he is now recovering. He shouldn't even remember them, but his mind is slowly recovering them, and if won't remember them now, he may have nightmares of them and actually relive them! She couldn't let him go through with that, but there was nothing she could do. But William was nothing but a person to her, someone she hardly knew. But, then again, she fought with him everyday for about 3 months now. She needed to spend more time with him, to help him go through the trials of his own mind and memories that will start to haunt him for a very long time. Aelita put her hand on William's back, which startled him and he looked around just to see Aelita smiling weakly at him. He tried to return the smile, but all he saw was her being hurt by him in his mind.

Odd continued further into the corridor, and soon, the darkness got so thick, he couldn't see through it anymore. He sighed and sat down. "Man, maybe this place can hide me from my stupid life forever, maybe I might skip Judgement day in here." Odd just sat there and then shook his head. "Nah, God will get me here too. I'll just sit here and hope that none of the others will find me." Odd sat there and closed his eyes… and then he woke up!

Odd looked around to find himself still in the darkness. Did I fall asleep? If so, I wonder how long… Odd got up, his back ached a bit. He must have slept there for hours, had the others realized he was gone yet? How long has it exactly been. He felt his butt, it felt flat, very flat. "Wow, judging from that, I must have been asleep for atleast 8 hours…" Odd started walking to get his butt all back to it's original form, a floor flat butt felt annoying. After about a few minutes of walking, Odd grabbed his butt and it felt round again. He sighed a sigh of relief. How could any girl like a guy with a flat butt… He shook his head and smiled at that comment. "I sure wish there were some babes here, but I wonder… why haven't we searched this part of Sector 5 yet? I thought we knew everything there was to know about Sector 5." Then, all of a sudden, he heard footsteps, soft foot steps coming his direction. Odd looked around curiously. Then, a pink-red light appeared far away. Odd looked to it. He could see a feminine figure walking his way. He could tell it was girl due to the way she walked, her hips swaying side to side, her hour-glass figure and short hair like… Aelita's! He recognized the way she walked too, she walked much like Aelita and the silhouette came closer. Soon, the red light reflected off of Odd's face and she got close enough for the silhouette to become a person, a girl.

"Ae- Aelita! What are you doing all the way back here, how did you find me? How is there light emitting from your body?" Odd asked her.

The girl stood there, smiling. Odd looked around, if Aelita found him, shouldn't Yumi and Ulrich be here as well? Something was wrong. Then, she relaxed her face and smiled calmly at him. "Odd. I'm glad I found you." She said.

"Well, I don't know why, it seems the rest of you have plans of your own, well, so do I. I am going to live in Lyoko, no questions asked. Just like how you all are going to go your ways, so am I. Jeremie! Program some generator to make monsters will ya! I need something to do here!"

"You want something to do, Odd?" She looked around and grinned. "How about kiss… me." She tilted her head. Odd was stunned by that statement.

"What, aren't you with Einstein?"

The girl moved in, revealing more of her self. Odd recognized that she was wearing her old lyoko outfit, but her navel was exposed, aswell her shoulders and the lower outer side of her legs. Her eyes were sapphire, not like Aelita's. "I don't know no Einstein unless you mean that genius, Jeremie. She put herself against Odd's chest and touched her cheek against Odd's. He blushed, but was more surprised than romanced. He stood still while she put her arms around him. She then put her hands and lightly grabbed both of Odd's biceps and pushed her self slowly away, but not too far so that she was right in front of him. Odd still stood there. She tilted her head slowly. She smiled softly. Her eyes looked amused.

"Um, Aelita, what are you-" the girl cut off Odd's question by putting her finger on his lips.

"Shh… now… please… I need you to kiss me." The girl said.

Odd just stood there, something wasn't right.

The group of 4 sat in Jeremie's room. They were worried about Odd. After dinner, they spent hours searching for their missing friend, but they never found him. Jeremie's clock read 2:13 A.M. Jeremie sat his computer, but he wasn't typing. He was wondering what made Odd disappear. Ulrich had stated that he may have run off somewhere. Jeremie just wanted to know where his friend was, and why he would just leave without saying anything.

"I bet his disappearance is my fault." Jeremie said aloud.

"No, Jeremie." Aelita enforced. "It's not your fault, and we will find him."

"But we looked everywhere." Ulrich stated. "The cafeteria, the gymnasium, the park, the forest, the hermitage, our dorm, even Yumi's backyard!"

"The only place we haven't checked is the Factory. Don't forget, Lyoko meant a lot to him, and us as well. Maybe he is there sulking." Yumi explained. They all nodded and ran outside the room to find William at the door.

"What do you want?" Yumi asked him.

William just looked at her, he didn't have that look of love in his eyes toward her anymore. "I heard Odd went missing, and I heard you were going to the factory, I want to help."

"Sorry, William." Jeremie said, pushing his glasses up. "We are done with Lyoko and everything else, you should just continue on with your life." Jeremie walked ahead of him, but William grabbed his arm firmly, which surprised Jeremie.

"I am coming, and you aren't going to stop me. The past just can't disappear with the flip of a switch. I consider Odd my friend you know, I remember when we squashed those big red monsters together in the factory, so don't tell me if I can't help."

Ulrich was the first to act, who had apparently pushed William over. William landed on the ground and looked up at Ulrich. "Hey, keep your hands off of Jeremie, you hear? Now, if you don't mind, we are going."

"Good, then so am I. Let's go." William told the entire group.

Jeremie just looked around at the group. "Fine, but don't touch anyone else."

"Fine then, Einstein, what are we waiting for, let's find Odd." William stated. Everyone ran to the secret entrance in the woods and got their gear together and set off for the factory. When they reached the ladder, the pulled the closing open and stepped onto the bridge. They all slid down the ropes and into the elevator. Jeremie and the others watched as the elevator door opened to reveal the computer lab operational!

"What!" Jeremie exclaimed as he and the others ran to the computer. Jeremie sat in his chair and pulled the speaker to his ear and mouth. He looked on the monitors to find Odd in Sector 5.

"I can't believe, Odd managed to virtualize himself, but how? Odd doesn't know squat on how to operate a computer, let alone send an e-mail right." Jeremie exclaimed once more.

William looked toward something. "Maybe he used that book right there to do." He pointed at it. Jeremie picked it up.

"Boy, why can't Odd use a book to do something good for once. When that boy puts his head to thinking, he can sure do something. Odd. Odd! Odd, can you hear me!.. He isn't responding." Jeremie looked to the others. "I am surprised Odd managed to virtualize himself, let alone get Lyoko operational. He didn't break anything, it's almost as if he was directed how to do it."

"Uh, the book." William said again.

Jeremie got a dull look toward him. "The book doesn't tell you how to turn on Lyoko. What's more, there's someone else with him."

Everyone else shot their look to the computer screen.

"Is, is it my father?" Aelita asked Jeremie.

"Well, it can't be XANA, that's for sure, or any of his monsters. It's not Franz Hopper either, otherwise, the Super Computer would say so. This is something else not encountered in the super computer's data, like how the new monsters were." Jeremie explained.

Ulrich just looked at the screen. "Well, for one thing, what ever is there, it isn't hurting him. Plus, the super computer indicates it's one of XANA's goonies."

Jeremie typed away at the keyboard. "Get ready, I'm sending you, Aelita, and Yumi in. William, you wait for a moment. Since XANA is dead, it's going to be impossible for something to take control of you and mess this up. If you just sit right there, if we need you to go in, then we will call you in."

William nodded and just watched the screen like he did a day ago. Then they heard Yumi.

"Jeremie, we're all set."

"All right," Jeremie told them. "Transfer Aelita, Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Yumi. Scanner Aelita, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Yumi. Virtualization!" Jeremie hit the key and inside the dome area, Aelita, Yumi, and Ulrich were integrated and landed on the floor.

"Take the corridor and go straight. Then make a left turn in the first room you see."

"Right." Ulrich said. "We'll have Odd out in no time."

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Jeremie sat on the chair. "Strange, it turns out I have no data on that area of Sector 5. This gets weirder and weirder. When you get there, try not to destroy what ever is with Odd."

INSIDE LYOKO

"Gotcha." Yumi said. They continued down the corridor and soon turned left. "Jeremie, it's starting to get dark, we can't see anything."

OUTSIDE LYOKO

"Hmm…" Jeremie said. "That could explain why I can't see anything on my screen around Odd. Huh, What the!"

INSIDE LYOKO

Aelita looked up. "What's wrong Jeremie."

"I, I don't know. Some blue number appeared below Odd's Life Points count, I don't know what it is… I've never seen that there before!"

"What could it mean, Jeremie?" Ulrich asked while trying to navigate the darkness.

"I don't know, but it's going down. I don't like the looks of this, but you have to get to Odd now! I don't know what could happen to him if this new number hits Zero! What the! Guys, be careful, you got some creepers on your tail!"

Ulrich stopped. "Creepers, but only XANA can send those, he's dead! Plus, how can we fight something we can't see?"

Aelita charged up an energy field, which gave off enough light for them to see 2 meters in front of them. "You don't mind doing some close combat, do you?"

Ulrich raised his swords. "Of course not, princess. Here we go!" They ran forward and soon, a barrage of lasers were flying their directions! Ulrich proceeded to protect Aelita and blocked with his swords. Yumi concentrated on the direction of the laser fire to find their source. She smiled, and whipped out her fans. She threw a fan and it flew threw the air and into the darkness. Soon, a yell could be heard followed by an explosion. The fan flew back. Yumi caught it in her hand.

"That's one down." Yumi stated.

"It seems there are 5 more. Yumi, you think you could get them with the limited visibility you have? Odd's blue number is down to 65%."

"Yeah." Yumi responded to Jeremie. She ran forward and did 3 cart wheels in a backflip motion to dodge the lasers coming at her. She then did a spinning back flip high in the air and straightened her body out, while throwing her fans. The fans proceeded and cut 3 more Creepers. They exploded. 2 lasers came at her, 1 flew past while another one hit her in the right arm. She winced at it and then caught her fans. Ulrich ran past her into the darkness and then 2 explosions were heard.

"That's it for those creepers. Nice work you two."

Ulrich came running back and whipped around Yumi. He put his sword up. Aelita caught up to them to give them more light. "Thanks Jeremie, no sweat."

"Quickly now, Odd's blue number is down to 40%!"

The gang ran and soon, they saw a glowing red and blue light. In the light were 2 silhouettes. They looked like they were kissing.

"Uh, Jeremie. You were right, there is someone else here with Odd." Ulrich stated. They looked closer and what they saw was a girl strikingly similar to Aelita kissing Odd, who was apparently held to the wall with Red Veins around his hands and feet. He was completely helpless. But what shocked them the most, was that they could see blue lines similar to Odd's nerves glow inside of him, and bright dots were moving through them, up to his mouth where the girl connected hers. The bright dots were proceeding out of his blue nerve line and into her red line. She was glowing red and he was glowing blue. Odd seemed to be getting weaker.

"Odd!" Ulrich yelled. "Jeremie, there's this, girl here. She's taking something out of Odd, he looks like he's dieing!"

"And that's not all, the super computer is getting traces of XANA on the net! You guys have to stop her, she's bringing XANA back to life!"

Ulrich and Yumi nodded. Aelita launched her energy field at the duplicate of herself and the energy field hit her hard. She screamed as she was pulsed away from Odd. Ulrich and Yumi got in front of Odd, guarding him. The girl got up and looked at them with worried and scared eyes.

"Jeremie, I don't think this girl can fight." Ulrich explained.

"Odd…" Yumi stated as she cut the red, glowing veins holding him to the wall. "Are you okay?"

Odd just looked at them. "Why did you guys come here, plus how did you find me…" Odd stumbled onto his knees. Ulrich looked at the girl.

"What did you do to him!" Ulrich yelled. He kept his swords in front of him. The girl got more frightened and backed up.

"Ulrich, the girl is indeed one of XANA's creations. I don't have much data on her, but she has 500 life points, more than I've seen in any monster. If she has that many, she must be crucial to XANA. If she can't fight you, kill her now while you still have the chance. She holds the key to bringing XANA back to life."

"No can do, Jeremie." Aelita said. "I can see 8 creepers coming our way."

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Jeremie looked at his screen. The super scan then detected a replica. Jeremie's eyes widened. XANA was never dead… only made powerless, until now. "Guys, XANA just made a Replika, he found another Super computer! What ever that girl did, she gave him more power, and now XANA is… back. Kill her, now!"

INSIDE LYOKO

Ulrich looked frontward. The Girl was still backing up as 8 creepers slithered past her. They charged up their lasers and fired. Ulrich blocked 4of the lasers, but the other 4 hit him. Ulrich was busted backwards on his butt and held his stomach.

"Ulrich, you lost 80 life points. One more hit, and it's game over."

"Gotcha, Jeremie." Ulrich stood up. He rearmed himself and saw the glowing girl head a different direction."

"Ulrich, be aware, if she catches you, you will be completely at her mercy. Don't let her kiss you."

"I was never planning it, Jeremie." Ulrich stated and sprinted to the creepers. He blocked several laser shots and sliced two of them apart. He then deflected two lasers at the creepers, getting rid of them. The other 4 were getting ready to take him down, but Yumi's fans destroyed them. Ulrich saw Yumi running toward him.

"Thought you might need help." Yumi told him.

"You thought right. Now, let's get her."

Yumi nodded. Aelita hoisted Odd and supported him by letting him lean on her. They walked to Ulrich and Yumi. She formed an energy field so they could see. Then the girl stopped all of a sudden. The gang cornered her at what seemed like an edge. She looked down, and then back at them with the most scared face they had seen. After a better look, they found a XANA eye on her forehead and chest. Ulrich held his sword to her, and she flinched back a bit.

"Listen, I am going to make this as painless as possible as long as you cooperate." Ulrich told her.

She just stepped back a bit and her foot touched nothing. She stumbled, but regained herself and she just put her hands up to signalize she meant no harm. Ulrich stepped forward. He raised his sword. The girl gasped. Ulrich swung it at her, but she turned around and jumped off the edge. Ulrich and everyone else just looked down to find a dark red Manta come up from below and fire at Ulrich's head. He fell back and was devirtualized. Yumi looked at the manta to find the girl riding on it. She smiled mischievously as the manta took the glowing girl away to see 3 more mantas headed their direction.

"Jeremie, we're going to need our vehicles, fast if we are going to catch her!" Yumi stated.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

"Don't worry. I'll pull them up." Jeremie typed at the keyboard as William leaned closer. "It seems like Sector 5 is bigger than we thought. What your in is a dome like room, which your vehicles can be stabilized in. Here you go. Go after her, and there are three mantas headed your direction.

INSIDE LYOKO

The vehicles materialized in front of them, the Over Wing, and the Over Bike.

"Aelita, put Odd on the Overbike and you pilot. I think he's out cold and I can't materialize him for some odd reason. What ever you do, don't leave him alone, the girl is still out there. It doesn't look like she trying to escape, but waiting for something."

"She's waiting for the two of us to get devirtualized so she can continue what she was doing with Odd." Yumi informed.

Aelita boosted ahead past the 3 mantas. Yumi did the same. The mantas turned around and started firing at them. (Common sense would tell you that the mantas would follow and fire, so why didn't they just confront them instead of boost ahead!)

Yumi looked back at the mantas as they fired. "Aelita, you continue on, I'll take care of the mantas." Yumi told her. Aelita nodded and went on to glowing light flying up ahead. Yumi however, turned around and took out her fans.

"Alright, you over grown flying fish, time to meet the chef." Yumi yelled as she threw both of her fans and 2 mantas dodged the first one, but the 3rd wasn't so lucky, and the fan flew straight into the center of the XANA eye and it blew up. The other two screeched and nodded at one another. One flew past her and stopped only to start laying flying mines. Yumi's eyes grew wide as she saw them and tried to maneuver through the dark mine field. The other manta, continued firing. Several lasers flew past her and one finally managed to hit her, making her lose control and flying straight into a mine! Yumi's vehicle blew up and she devirtualized as she hit another mine whilst falling.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Jeremie shook his head.

Yumi popped out of the scanner doors and fell on the floor as she asked herself how she could've been so stupid. Jeremie position the mike a little.

"Aelita, you're on you own. The two mantas are headed your direction. Can you see the girl yet?"

INSIDE LYOKO

"Yes, I can, Jeremie." Aelita answered as she and the unconscious Odd caught up to her.

The girl looked at her and patted the manta. Unlike William, she had not actual control of the Red Manta she was on. The Manta swiftly turned around and started flying backwards. The girl then licked it's eye and it then started firing at Aelita. Aelita wondered how the girl didn't fly off the manta. She then proceeded in dodging the lasers and charged up an energy field.

"Energy Field." she said as she pitched it at the Manta. The Manta dodged it and fired once again. Aelita dodged it. Then, two more laser blasts flew past her head in the other directions. Aelita turned around to find the other two blue mantas were on her tail, and they were firing at her. Aelita swung to the left and the girl patted the Red Manta and it followed, with the other two blue mantas not far behind. All three were firing at her. Aelita dodged the lasers, but couldn't keep it up. The Red Manta started flying faster and the two blue ones shot the Overbike. It exploded! Aelita screamed as she and Odd fell to their doom. If they fell down there, they would be virtualized forever. The Red Manta however, shot Aelita, and with one hit, she lost all 100 of her life points and devirtualized. Then it swept down and caught Odd. The girl sat on his groan and put her hands on chest. She lightly pushed down and he woke up. He felt weak. She then proceeded in kissing him. Odd's blue light started glowing again and his blue number went down.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Jeremie sighed. "William, get ready to go in. You ready to redeem yourself."

William smiled. "Of course I am! Let's go rescue Odd!" William excitedly ran to the elevator. Yumi let him pass through. William headed into the scanner room where he found Aelita. He passed her.

"Good luck out there." Aelita told him. William gave her a thumbs up as the scanner doors closed.

Jeremie hesitated as he looked at the others. He let out his breath and pressed a key. "Transfer William. Scanner William. Virtualization!" Jeremie pressed the key.

William then appeared in the dome area in the sky. He then landed on the ground, with is original outfit on him. William admired himself and examined his Sweihenger. "Awesome, I'm a Lyoko warrior again!"

"William, now you listen to me, don't do anything stupid like you did last time you were here again. Now, head down the corridor and make your first left. Be fast, it may be dark, but I'll guide you on the little terrain data I have of the dark area."

William nodded and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Left!"

William took the turn and headed into the dark corridor. Soon, it got dark enough to where he couldn't see, but he kept running.

"Take a right in three, two, one!"

William took the turn.

"Make a left!"

"Gotcha." William told him. He took the turn.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi watched in amazement as William quickly made his way through the dark corridor.

Jeremie held the mike. "Take a left!.. Stop!"

INSIDE LYOKO

William stopped, panting. "Okay, so… where are the monsters?"

"Hang on. I'm going to let you use Odd's Overboard. You can skate right?"

"Of course I can skate. So, where is it?" William looked around in the pitch black darkness. He then heard some kind of digital sound.

"Okay, it's in front of you, but be careful."

William cautiously put his foot out and felt around for the hovering board. His foot soon landed on it. He carefully walked onto it and balanced himself on it. "Okay, Jer… I'm on. So, how does this thing work?"

"Just lean forward and imagine the board moving. If you want to boost it up, just kinda push your feet down."

William leant forward and the Overboard flew fast. William was caught by surprise, but he didn't fall off. He smiled and soon saw a red and blue light very far away.

"Hey, Jeremie. I see some blue light up ahead, should I go toward that?"

"Yes, William. That's Odd and some new girl. Rescue him, his number is almost up!"

"Okay, okay, calm down. I'll have him out in a gif." William boosted the over board. In the limited light coming from Odd and the mysterious girl, he could see 2 mantas. "I'm guessing their bad guys." William held up his sword. Okay, nothing stupid this time, you have to save Odd, you're the only hope. William told himself. "Geronimo!" William yelled as he boosted to the mantas.

The mantas both looked at him and they started flying in his direction. They fired lasers at him. William blocked the lasers with his sword, which apparently absorbed the lasers. As each laser hit it, it became more pink and heavier. William noticed this.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

"Hey, Jeremie?" William asked over the monitor. "My sword is changing into a reddish like color and getting heavier, what should I do about that?"

Jeremie leaned forward and aligned his glasses. "I don't know, try swinging it at the mantas, it may discharge the energy your sword is getting."

INSIDE LYOKO

William looked at his sword. He slightly swung it behind his back and firmly swung it in the direction of his enemies. A disc like blade of energy swung out the sword and sliced through both of the mantas' wings. They fell and shortly blew up. William looked at his sword. "Amazing! I am the bomb!"

"You can admire your work later, Odd only has 6 blue points left."

William sped to the Red Manta. "Hey!"

The girl stopped kissing Odd and looked at William. "Huh, what!"

"Say good night!" William told her as he held his sword up and cut the Red Manta's belly. The Red Manta flew up and started following him. "Huh!" William was surprised the manta hadn't died. He boosted up ahead and the girl resumed kissing Odd. The Red Manta shot at him. William blocked the shot and his sword glew a bright red and got very heavy. William held it with both hands and swung it at the Manta and the girl. The girl jumped over the red disc of energy and the Manta flew under it, but the disc hit Odd and devirtualized him with one hit.

OUTSIDE LYOKO

Everyone cheered and Ulrich and Yumi headed to the scanner room. Jeremie fixed his mike to his mouth. "William, go back. I don't want you alone with her. Go back to corridor you came from.

INSIDE LYOKO

"Sure." William responded. But all of a sudden, he was shot in the back and devirtualized. The Red Manta flew past his devirtualizating body as the girl looked at him. The Red Manta just floated there as she looked at where William once was.

"Hmph." She patted the Red Manta and it turned around and flew away.

"Hello… hello. Odd, Odd can you hear me? It's me, Jeremie."

Odd woke up to the sound of the voice. "Huh!" Odd sat up in the infirmary. "Where, where am I?" Odd looked around.

"The infirmary." Yumi answered. "We were worried about you."

"You, you were!" Odd looked Jeremie's direction.

"Yeah, William saved you from that girl." Jeremie informed him. Odd looked to right to find William, who smiled and waved at him.

"Cool." Odd said.

"Listen…" Ulrich began. "We all don't necessarily feel how you feel about living… but maybe as time goes on, we'll consider your idea."

Jeremie looked at Odd. "We're sorry for how we sounded towards you."

"Yeah." Yumi started. "After some thinking, Aelita and I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea, but if you can wait for Ulrich and Jeremie to get the idea, you don't think you could stay here on earth with us?" Yumi asked.

Odd looked around. "Sure, but under one condition."

"And what would that be?" Jeremie asked.

"You have to do my homework for the next 2 months." Odd said, crossing his arms.

"Sure." Jeremie told him, rubbing his head. "Oh, and William."

"Huh?" William said.

"You wouldn't mind staying in the group, now that XANA is back, we are going to need your help. That is why we recruited you in the first place."

William smiled and held out his hand. "You betcha."

Jeremie took the hand and shook it.

"You're an official Lyoko Warrior now William!" Odd exclaimed. Then they got up and left the room.
