As the Lyoko Warrior's are trying to find Aelita's father, a new student enrolls into Kadic. An unknown warrior who's talent with sword fighting and mysterious powers could make him one of the Lyoko Warrior's. He could be the help they need to save William, or he could hurt them with his strange powers. Could his dark and complicated past make him able to help or will it condemn the Lyoko Warriors? Will he become one of the heroes, or will he become the their worst enemy?
While the warriors are in Sector Five, Yumi is guarding Aelita while she's trying to find her dad on the network. The past few days haven't been very successful and they were starting to feel like it was hopeless at this point. meanwhile, Odd and Ulrich were waiting inside so they could talk. They've been waiting for a few minutes and they were starting to get impatient. They didn't expect to wait this long considering that Mantas would usually hatch at this point.
"I wonder how long they're gonna take?" Odd asked while he paced around the room. Ulrich looked outside, wondering why there's no monster activity yet. it didn't make much sense why it was so quiet but they had to take it as a sign that their luck was starting to change a little.
"I don't know," said Ulrich. "But I'd rather fight some monsters instead of waiting here." Ulrich crossed his arms and laid his back against the wall.
"You okay?" Odd asked. "You've been sulking all day."
"I just got a call from my dad," said Ulrich, sounding upset. "He said that he's getting me a tutor the next time I go home. He's just getting on my nerves."
"If you want Ulrich, you can study with me," said Jeremy from the lab. Ulrich didn't answer back, he just looked around Sector Five.
After a few minutes, Ulrich noticed that Odd was getting a little frustrated too.
"You okay good buddy?" Ulrich asked.
"Jim found out about the shaving cream in his shoes prank," said Odd. "He told me that if I don't show the new student around the school, I'll be spending the rest of the week in detention."
"I told you not to," said Ulrich. "Ever since you put iching powder in his shirt, he's just waiting to expel you."
"I know," said Odd. "But it's just too much fun!" They both started to laugh.
Odd and Ulrich noticed Aelita and Yumi walking inside without any success as Jeremy brought them back. Odd quickly ran out of the factory, hoping to make good time so Jim doesn't get mad.
Odd walked inside the principal's office and saw Mr. Delmas talking to some kid. The kid looked like a 10th grader; he had long black hair that went all the way to the middle of his spine. His shoulders were a little broader than Ulrich's. His skin looked incredibly pale, like a ghost. The kid was wearing black cargo jeans,a white long sleeve shirt and black boots. Around his neck was a cross necklace with a thick black string around his neck.
Mr. Delmas looked at Odd and smiled.
"Ahh Mr. Della Robbia," said Mr. Delmas. "Mr. Morales was kind enough to tell me that you'll be showing the new student around. His name is Michael Elrick and he's gonna be bunking in yours and Mr. Stern's room until we can get him his own."
"But we don't have any room in our room," said Odd, sounding more concerned about how Ulrich would take this.
"I'm sorry Mr. Della Robbia," said Mr. Delmas. "It'll just be for one night until we get him his own room."
"Okay," said Odd. "But I bet Ulrich will be mad."
Odd walked out of the principal's office with Michael and started walking around the schoolyard. Odd was very adamant on telling him all about the school. He tried to stay cheery, but anyone would tell that he wasn't having any fun. He couldn't stop thinking about what Ulrich would say. They walked around for what seemed like a few hours before they finally got to the woods. They went into the woods only to reach the tool shed. They sat on the grass by the tool shed as Michael saw that Odd was getting tired. But Michael didn't talk, he just looked around the woods. In fact, he was quiet the entire time, he only nodded to show Odd that he was paying attention.
Odd looked at Michael and noticed him starring out at the woods. But quickly looked at his bag as he heard Kiwi getting restless. He took Kiwi along because he wanted to take him out for a walk since he was showing Michael around. Odd opened his bag as Kiwi sprung and stretched his tiny little legs. Odd put his leash on Kiwi and started to walk him around for a little while.
Kiwi was sniffing around the trees as Odd noticed that Michael was just staring at him. Odd realized that the color of his eyes were ruby red. His face had some of William's features, except that his nose is a little longer than William's. His jaw line is a tad bit narrow compared to William's.
"What?" Odd asked, getting creeped out that Michael wasn't talking at all.
Michael just looked back into the woods as Kiwi finished peeing. Odd opened his bag back up as Kiwi jumped inside and relaxed inside the bag. Odd stood up and looked Michael in the eyes. They didn't say anything, they just had a small stare off. Odd was getting weirded out as Michael was just looking a little angry.
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of them, purple lightning was surging from the man's hand. Xana's symbol suddenly appeared in the man's eyes as he charged towards them at an amazing speed. Odd and Michael jumped out of the way but the man went right after Odd. Before Odd could get up, the man grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground.
"Get off Xana," said Odd. The man just laughed as he sent lightning surging through Odd's body.
Odd was screaming in pain, but he suddenly fell onto the ground. He saw the man fall to the ground as Michael was starring at the body. Odd noticed that Michael's fists were clenched and felt shocked at what he was looking at. Michael looked back at Odd and helped him up. Odd brushed himself off as he noticed that Michael wasn't fazed by what just happened.
"Thanks," said Odd. He looked at the body and felt clueless. "But how did you do that?" Michael didn't answer back, he stared off into the woods.
A strange rustling echoed through the woods as a woman came into view. She was holding a bat and Xana's symbol was in her eyes too.
Suddenly, Odds phone rang; Jeremy was calling him.
"Odd!" said Jeremy through the phone. "Xana's launched an attack."
"I see that Einstein!" said Odd. "Xana's possessed a few people and they don't want my autograph."
"I've sent the other's into Lyoko," said Jeremy. "Try and get here ASAP."
Odd hung up his phone as he noticed three more people coming out of the woods. Odd recognized one of the guys as the gardener as he was carrying his rake. But Odd felt scared as they closed in on them.
"Looks like we're on our own," said Odd.
Michael didn't say a word, but just watched as the Xanafied people started coming in closer. With a calm look on his face and no words to say, Michael was waiting for them to make the first move. Odd watched as the people came closer, fierce looks on all their faces while they crept towards them. He knew that he couldnt go to Lyoko, he was all alone in this fight. But he watched as Michael just stood there, with his eyes closed.
"Get out of here," said Michael. Odd looked at Michael in shock, shocked by the fact that Michael just spoke.
"Are you crazy?" Odd asked. "They're after me, not you." Michael looked at Odd with a serious look on his face.
"Go on and get somewhere safe," said Michael. Odd refused to go, he stood there and felt both confused and mad at Michael.
"But they're after me," said Odd again. "You'll just get killed."
Michael looked away at the Xanafied people as they just stood there. They didnt budge, like they were waiting for something. They just stared at the two like hawks waiting for their prey to move.
But that quickly ended when the gardener rushed at them with lightning fast speed. He charged right at Odd and swung his rake with great force. Odd closed his eyes and screamed as he felt the end coming near. Suddenly, a loud crack filled the air with an eerie noise as the sound of something hitting the ground filled Odd's heart with fear.
He opened his eyes and quickly noticed the broken rake on the ground. He looked up and saw something that freaked him out. Michael had his arm up, as if to block something. A calm quiet expression was still on his face as Odd noticed the gardener looking at Michael. The gardnener stood up and backed away, as if something was bugging him. Odd looked at the other half of the broken rack handle that was still in his hand. He looked at Michael's arm and didnt even see a scratch.
Another one of the Xanafied people charged at Michael and threw a powerful punch into his chest; launching Michael off his feet. He slammed into a tree with great might, creating a large crater that caused the tree to fall backwards. Michael merely hovered for a split second before he crashed back-first into the broken tree trunk. The sound of wood splintering and branches breaking echoed around Odd. When it was all over; Odd was left scared.
But then he noticed Michael's legs as he pulled himself out of the wreckage and dusted himself. Odd felt confused as to why Michael acted like nothing even happened. He just dusted himself off and walked over to Odd.
"Are you okay?" Odd asked in shock. Michael didnt answer back, he just stared at the Xanafied people.
Suddenly, the Xanafied people started to groan and fall down one by one. Odd sighed in relief as he realized that it was all over, Aelita managed to deactivate the tower. But that relief quickly ended as he looked back at Michael, who was acting so quiet. He noticed Michael holding the cross of his necklace and looked like he was praying to it. Odd wanted to say something, but he just couldnt get it out.
"I guess I'm just lucky today," Michael whispered to himself.
Before Odd could say something, he saw a big white ball coming towards them. Knowing what that meant, he finally relaxed as it came closer. It covered them as Odd woke up running to the principles office. Still curious about that whole thing that happened, he felt kinda funny about going to meet Michael again. After what he just saw, he was afraid of seeing him. He's never seen someone take on someone who was Xanafied like that before, someone who wasnt even afraid to take a hit like that and brush it off like it was nothing. But he had to do it again or he'll get put in detention, so he just sucked it up and knocked on the principles door.
He walked inside and quickly looked at Michael. He didnt even say anything, he just stared at him.
"Ahh Mr. Della Robbia," said Mr. Delmas. "Mr. Morales was kind enough to tell me that you'll be showing the new student around. His name is Michael Elrick and he's gonna be bunking in yours and Mr. Stern's room until we can get him his own." Odd looked up at Mr. Delmas and just nodded his head.
"Okay," said Odd. Michael got up and went with Odd.
Odd showed Michael around the whole school and woods again as he noticed that it was getting dark out. He escorted Michael up to his and Ulrich's room as he noticed that Ulrich was already inside. There was even a spare mattress near the desk with a lone pillow and green blanket. Ulrich looked at Odd but quickly looked at Michael.
"Who're you?" Ulrich asked. Michael didn't answer back, he just looked at the spare mattress. He walked over and sat on the mattress. "Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
"He's the new student I told you about Ulrich," said Odd. "He's just gonna be sleeping here for the night. Mr. Delmas's getting him a room prepared so he's just here for tonight." Ulrich looked back at Michael and then back at Odd.
"Okay," said Ulrich. Ulrich laid down on his bed and covered himself with his blanket.
Odd looked at Michael and noticed that he was already asleep. With all the confusion, he just passed out from from exhaustion. Figuring that he shouldnt worry about it right now, he just passed out for the night.
