Well, we haven't heard from Janna in a long time, have we? Let's see what she's doing!

Disclaimer: Do I look like the kind of person who owns a TV show?

"How is it even possible for XANA to be your dad?" Jeremie asked her.

Janna shrugged. "Don't ask me. You should talk to him, but I don't think he wants to talk to you about that."

Suddenly, Janna's body stiffened. She started to say weird things in either Swahili, or some other language they didn't know about.

Almost as suddenly, Jeremie's laptop beeped. "There's an activated tower! We've got to get to the factory." And with that, they ran away.

Janna stopped acting like she was possessed just in time to notice the group was missing.

Don't let them stop me. A deep, ominous voice reverberated inside her head.

Janna nodded, then ran to the factory.

Factory

"Scanner Ulrich… scanner Yumi… scanner Aelita…" Jeremie said "Transfer Ulrich… transfer Yumi… transfer Aelita… virtualization." Jeremie pressed a button, and the kids were on Lyoko.

Jeremie virtualized Odd just before Janna got out of the elevator. She walked over to Jeremie and looked at the computer.

"Whatcha doing?" she asked.

Jeremie jumped, saw it was only Janna, then calmed down a bit.

"What are you doing here?!" Jeremie asked her.

Janna smiled. "I thought I'd help you defeat XANA!"

Jeremie looked unsure, but this was XANA's daughter they were talking about. Maybe she could help them.

"Head down to the scanner room and I'll virtualize you.

Janna turned, and the XANA sign appeared in her eyes for the briefest moment.

When the elevator stopped, she stepped inside a scanner and waited.

"Scanner Janna…" Jeremie said. "Transfer Janna… virtualization."

A blast of wind hit Janna's face, and she was virtualized.

Lyoko

The group was in the Mountain Sector, waiting for directions to the activated tower.

"Okay guys, Janna's going to be helping you." Jeremie informed them.

As if on cue, Janna appeared right above their heads.

She was wearing a multicolor t-shirt and shorts outfit, the colors changing every few seconds. Her hair was in a ponytail now, and it had grown about ten feet. It also changed colors, making it look like a drooping rainbow.

"Hey Janna, where's your weapon?" Yumi asked.

Janna didn't say anything. She grabbed her oversized ponytail, aimed it at the group, and cracked it like a whip. They flew backwards, hitting a digital rock.

"What are you doing Janna?!" Jeremie yelled at her. Suddenly, a visual popped up on the screen. Janna stared at Jeremie, the XANA sign flashing in her eyes.

"XANA!" Jeremie shouted. "Guys, can you hear me? Janna is under XANA's control! You need to get to the activated tower now!"

"Ugh..." Ulrich groaned. "That was powerful. How many Life Points do we have left?"

"You each have 30 left." Jeremie said grimly.

"30?!" they yelled at him.

"It must be because she's XANA's daughter." Jeremie said, checking something on the computer. "He must have given her super strength or something. All I can recommend is getting to the tower as soon as you can."

"Hey, where'd she go?" Odd asked.

Everyone looked around, worried. There wasn't any sign that Janna was there, nor was there a sign that she had left.

"Maybe she went to guard the tower?" Aelita suggested.

And then she got kicked in the face, causing her to get devirtualized.

No one had time to yell her name, mostly because they all got kicked in the face seconds later.

Factory

"Uh, what just happened?" Odd asked his friends as the elevator stopped.

The door opened, showing Jeremie waiting for them.

"It seems our new friend Janna has the ability to camouflage herself, allowing her to attack without you or enemies knowing it." he said in a serious voice.

The elevator dinged, going down to the scanner room.

Everyone turned to stare as the elevator made its way down, stopped, then made its way back up. It stopped on their floor, revealing Janna's happy face.

"Hey guys!" she smiled at them, waving excitedly.

They glared at her.

She stopped smiling and waving. She tilted her head in confusion. "What's wrong?" she asked them.

"Maybe you could tell us." Yumi said.

Janna cringed involuntarily. "D-Did I do something wrong?" she asked.

"Oh no, unless you call kicking us in the face while you were invisible something wrong." Odd said.

Janna stared at the floor, rocking on her heels. "I think I know what's going on." she said to the floor.

Everyone raised an eyebrow, curious.

Janna took a breath, then began. "Before Dad materialized me, he told me that I would feel different in the real world. He said I should just accept the feelings, just like someone accepts a little change in their life. I didn't know he'd try to control me, though. If I knew, I'd probably have tried to stop him." As she talked, her voice fell. She was barely audible by the time she finished.

"So XANA was controlling you the entire time?" Aelita asked.

Janna gave a small nod.

"Do you know how we can stop it?"

Janna shook her head.

"Maybe that's what the activated tower is for." Ulrich said. "If we deactivate it, we'll stop XANA from messing with Janna again."

There were murmurs of agreement, but Janna wasn't listening.

"Whether that will work or not, she can't come to the factory for awhile." Jeremie pointed out. "If she gets possessed again, she could destroy the supercomputer."

Janna nodded slowly, agreeing with whatever he said.

"Are you even listening?" Jeremie asked her.

Janna was silently staring at the floor, murmuring something. The elevator dinged, and she stepped inside. The door closed just as she looked up, showing she had been crying.

Well that was a weird turn of events. But with XANA, you have to expect this crud. I think he'd give up every kid he ever has to destroy the world, don'tcha think?
