Double Take
POV Patricia's
I finished reading Peter's journal a couple of days ago, there were still a lot of pages left in the journal, so I decided to write an entry.
Dear Diary,
Sorry that I have to call you a diary now, I know originally you were owned by my brother. But things are really hard without him. I'm upset almost all the time, and I can't even seem to be happy. What's worse is that, I never watched season 4 of Code Lyoko. I don't know what to expect from Xana, or my friends. For all I know, Naomi could have been a Lyoko Warrior in the show, Peter and I watched as kids, but we forgot. The other day Jim was holding his Paco king of disco dance in the gym, and I was too upset to even enjoy it. I'm heading over to Jeremy's room hopefully there will be some good news.
~Trish
I closed my brother's journal, and left to go to Jeremy's room.
In Jeremy's room
Odd and Ulrich were sitting on Jeremy's bed, Ulrich was reading a book. Naomi and Yumi, leaned on Jeremy's desk. Jeremy was by his computer, and Aelita was with him, her hand leaning on Jeremy's chair. I walked over to them on the other side, to watch the progress on the computer.
"So then, the guy gets up and starts to scream "oh no! My canoe just sprang a leak'!" Odd exclaimed, laughing.
"Come on it's hysterical, the guy think he's going to spring a leak. Oh forget it, you guys have no sense of humor." Odd stated while Jeremy's computer started to run some kind of program.
"Actually we do." Naomi pointed out.
"But that's the problem." Ulrich chimed in.
"Don't worry Odd, a sense of humor comes with growing up." Yumi said.
"Come on, I'm the funniest guy in school. In fact, if I wasn't me, I would be president of my own fan club." Odd stated while Jeremy continued typing, as I watched him as Aelita laughed at Odd's statement.
"Now that's what I call funny." Aelita laughed.
"Yeah, but the problem is I didn't mean it to be." Odd said.
"Do you mind making a little bit less noise? Some of us are trying to work, I've already spent a lot of sleepless nights, re-creating the rest of Lyoko, and improving the digital equipment for all of you. And now, I've got to figure out what to do about William, Jade, and Peter. If you haven't forgotten, while you're doing your bad stand-up act –" Jeremy started but Ulrich interrupted.
"It wasn't me, it was him." Ulrich pointed to Odd.
"That William, Jade, and Peter are stuck on Lyoko under the control of XANA. And if we don't do anything, people are going to start noticing their absence." Jeremy said turning back to the computer, his computer started beeping and he pressed a key in an effort to get the computer to enter silent mode or something.
"So keep it down." Jeremy ordered. Holding his finger while he took his headset, and placed it on his head. He turned on his voice synthesizer and called Mr. Delmas.
"Delmas Academy, John Pierre Kadic, er…. I mean Kadic Academy, John Pierre Delmas speaking." Mr. Delmas said correcting himself.
"This is James Dunbar, William's father. I'm calling to say that my son, and his girlfriend Jade Chardin won't be in school this week. They got a very high fever, and they will be staying at home. Jade is being taken care of by a nurse I hired for her, she's a little more sick than William." Jeremy explained through the voice synthesizer.
"Oh rats, I hope it's not game over for them. Uh that is to say, nothing too serious?" Mr. Delmas asked.
"Just a very bad flu." Jeremy replied.
"Oh that's a relief. Please tell your son and Miss Chardin that we wish them a speedy recovery, Mr. Dunbar. Thanks for calling." Mr. Delmas replied hanging.
"Now for Peter." I frowned slightly.
"Right." Jeremy nodded. He waited for a few more seconds, before calling Mr. Delmas again.
"Yes, hello?" Mr. Delmas asked.
"Hello Mr. Delmas, its Peter. I hope I'm not disturbing you. I was hoping to give you a status update on the custody case." Jeremy said using Peter's voice.
"Ah yes, Mr. Morales no you're not disturbing me. Thrat, sorry I mean how is the custody decision going?" Mr. Delmas asked, as I could hear the same game from before through the head phones.
"Slow I'm afraid. I still won't be returning to school. My parents are in a stand of sorts, so it's going to take a little longer than expected." Jeremy explained.
"I understand Mr. Morales. I wish you the best of luck with your parents decision for yours and your sister's custody. Thank you for calling, and have a good day." Mr. Delmas said before hanging up.
"Phew, I honestly don't know what we'd do without my voice synthesizer." Jeremy sighed in relief.
"Well, now that we handled Delmas, maybe we can go to more important stuff." Odd said.
"Yeah, like what?" Jeremy asked.
"Meatballs and spaghetti." Odd replied happily while Jeremy rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Odd, I know you're a walking stomach, but I haven't got time to go to lunch. I have to get to the factory to test out the latest codes for your new equipment."
"Can you program me some bell-bottom pants with orange stripes on the side?" Odd asked.
"Will ya? I need a little thinking time." Jeremy replied irritably.
"What you need is to hear a good joke. You don't laugh enough, lighten up." Odd said.
At lunch
I ate most of my lunch, but I didn't finish it. I wasn't in the mood, Naomi noticed it.
"Are you going to be okay?" Naomi asked.
"I'll be fine." I replied.
Odd pushed his tray, and he didn't finish his banana, which is completely unlike him to not finish a meal.
"Huh? You don't want your banana?" Aelita asked.
"It's for Einstein. The "walking stomach" has to look out for a local genius." Odd replied.
"Uh – oh, Delmas and Incredible Hulk at eleven o clock." Ulrich noticed, as Uncle Jim and Mr. Delmas walked into the cafeteria.
"I'd like to think Jim, as more of a G.I. Joe, than the Incredible Hulk." Naomi commented. Mr. Delmas was walking to us, Uncle Jim not that far behind. Mr. Delmas came to us.
"Hello Patricia, I was wondering have you had any news of William Dunbar, and Jade Chardin by any chance? Jim said that you and Mr. Dunbar, were close at one point." Mr. Delmas recounted.
"I heard that William was sick in bed with a very high fever, same for Jade." I said.
"Let me handle this John Pierre. Now Patricia, be honest with us. I know perfectly well that William and Jade aren't more sick than I am." Jim said, a he almost sneezed on me.
"Bless you Jim." Aelita politely said.
Jim rubbed his hand over his nose. "Thank you." He put his hand down.
"If you want to know what I think, I think William and Jade are somewhere. And something tells me that somehow you know where that somewhere is. And that sometimes, it's better to be honest with someone, so uno, someone should tell William and Jade we know they are around, and doso, they outta get back before tonight, if not Mr. Delmas, our beloved principal will call some police. That outta do it." Uncle Jim chided, smiling, with his hands in his pockets. "Oh and Patricia, please tell Peter I wish him the best of luck with your parents."
After lunch
We were at the bench, when Ulrich had called Jeremy, to tell him the news and Jeremy wasn't happy.
"No way! That means I'm going to have to slave away all afternoon, trying to finish a program to get William, Jade, and Peter out of XANA's clutches. And who knows if it'll even work." Jeremy worried. The phone was loud enough, for all of us to hear. "At least they bought Peter's and Patricia's parents fake custody case. But even so, I'm going to have work faster now."
"Uh – huh, that's impossible. We've got track this afternoon. You can't keep cutting Phys. Ed all the time, one more time and you're going to be in a lot of trouble." Ulrich reminded.
"Okay, I'll get back to you."
"What are you going to do?" Ulrich asked.
"Improvise, as usual." Jeremy answered as he hung up.
"I'm just glad I managed to get my schedule changed, so I'm with you guys." Naomi smiled. "At least I don't have gym class right now."
We walked over to the vending machines. Ulrich continued to read his book, while Odd pushed a coin in the coin slot. He pressed the number seven, but the vending machine started to make a noise. He clicked number seven a few times, but his cup wasn't coming down. He punched the vending machine, which looked like it hurt.
"Oh, I don't believe it." Odd groaned before getting back up, he walked over to us with his hands in his pocket.
"I don't believe it." Odd said in shock as Jeremy was walking toward us, drinking something. He was in his gym clothes, which was a matching gray sweater and pants.
"He sure got ready fast." Yumi commented.
"That's for sure." I nodded in agreement.
Jeremy threw the cup behind him and kicked it right into the trash can.
"Ten points." Jeremy boasted as we looked at him, surprised. He walked toward us.
"Hey everybody." Jeremy greeted.
"You already finished everything you had to do?" Aelita asked.
Jeremy held up two fingers in the air, per hand, like he was trying, and failing, to look cool.
"Piece of cake sweety pie, huh what you think? Hands down, you're looking at the man." Jeremy replied.
"Huh?" Ulrich asked.
Jeremy lowered his glasses at me, like he was romantically interested in me or something. Not a good sign...
"How's it going kid? You must have gotten all dolled up for me today. You wouldn't believe the vibes I'm feeling right now." Jeremy said with his hand on his head, he leaned his arm on the bin next to me. Aelita crossed her arms, and I was ready to smack him.
"Will you go back to being the Jeremy we know before I slap you?" I asked.
Jeremy leaned in closer.
"It's just that, whenever I see you I don't feel like myself." We all looked at each other, when Odd said:
"XANA."
Odd tried attacking XANAfied Jeremy, when he threw him against the vending machine. He slid down, causing his cup and drink from earlier, to come out.
"Hey cool." Odd commented, getting up as we got into defensive positions around him. Yumi's phone started ringing, she answered it.
"Jeremy but then…" Yumi looked back up at the Jeremy in front of us.
"Well, what do you think of me guys?" Jeremy asked Yumi over video chat on her smartphone
"Hold on you mind explaining this?" Yumi asked.
We went to look at Yumi, to see Jeremy sitting his chair at the lab.
"You haven't figured I made a double of myself? A digital copy, by activating a tower on Lyoko." Jeremy explained. "This way, I can work on the program for finding William, Jade, and Peter, and be in gym class at the same time."
"You might have warned us about it Einstein." Odd said rubbing his neck.
"Sorry guys, but I was in a big hurry." Jeremy defended.
"Anyway, you outta know that your double has got to be the biggest flirt I have ever met, I was close to smacking him on the face." I mentioned as Yumi showed Jeremy his clone.
"Sorry Patricia, but that's strange. Must be some kind of an emerging quality that appeared unexpectedly. Anyway guys, I may not have hit a home run with it, but a double is still pretty good."
At gym class
"Abulabbus?" Uncle Jim called out.
"Here." Sorya replied.
"Belpois?" Uncle Jim called out.
"Present." Jeremy's clone replied, holding out his hands.
"No, this has got to be a dream. Jeremy Belpois in person has finally decided to honor us with his presence in the flesh? Although there's not a whole lot. After holding the world's record for absences, from every single sport, we're all going to watch Mr. "Skin and Bones," make up for lost time by throwing his lack of weight around." Uncle Jim laughed. Clone Jeremy was given a red ball, as he stretched his arms.
"Let me get out of the line of fire, before I give you the signal." Uncle Jim moved out of the way.
"Go on." Uncle Jim insisted as Jeremy threw the shot put. He put his hands in his pockets.
POV Naomi's
Yumi and I were in science, Mrs. Hertz continued her lecture as I yawned slightly, making fully sure Mrs. Hertz didn't see that she was boring me to tears.
"Newton and his law of gravity, the apple that fell-" The next thing I knew, I saw a shot put flying in from an open window, and smashing the small telescope Mrs. Hertz was talking about.
"She's not going to be too happy." I whispered to Yumi, who nodded.
POV Patricia's
"Whoa, holy Toleto Belpois." Uncle Jim said surprised. Jeremy's clone blew his hand, as if it was hot.
"I mean, incredible Belpois. How could you throw that thing so far with arms as scrawny as the wings of a chicken huh?" Uncle Jim asked.
"Uh well you see Jim, he's been working out a lot." Odd laughed while Jeremy's clone shook his head.
"Jim! You're worse than those barbarians who burned down the Alexandrian Library!" Mrs. Hertz exclaimed angrily from the window while Jim held out his hand.
"Thank you Suzanne. Jeremy, you're going to participate in the interest school competition, against the top student gymnasts. Those dodos at Central Prep, won't know what hit them!" Uncle Jim exclaimed enthusiastically. We went to sit down, as we watched Uncle Jim work Jeremy's clone. Ulrich's phone started ringing, he answered it.
"Okay champ, let's see you throw the javelin." Uncle Jim said as Jeremy took the javelin. Jeremy's clone started spinning the javelin like a helicopter blade.
"Jeremy? This better be important." Ulrich said.
Jeremy's clone caught the javelin, and gripped it with his hand.
"I get the idea, how can you get the process to stop?" Ulrich asked.
I couldn't hear what Jeremy was saying, the phone wasn't loud enough. I noticed something changed in Jeremy's clone, and he seemed to be pointing the javelin at us.
"Jeremy, hurry up." Ulrich urged.
XANA's symbol started to appear in Jeremy's clone's eyes. He started to build up electricity around him, Uncle Jim didn't notice since his eyes were closed. It thankfully stopped, and Jeremy's clone turned back and threw the spear into the yard house.
"Hey what do you think you're doing?!" A man exclaimed.
"Yahoo, yeah!" Uncle Jim exclaimed, before shaking Jeremy's clone's shoulders.
"I'm going to be your personal manager, Belpois. Wait until they get a load of this, you and me: we're going to go far. Trust me, we're going to take the thrill of victory. We're going to breeze through the championships, the nationals, the planetary, the interplantaries, and the intergalactic." Uncle Jim laughed slightly.
"I think Uncle Jim is losing it." I sighed.
"To the factory?" Ulrich asked.
We nodded as we tried to casually slip away, but were caught by Uncle Jim.
"Stern, Della Robbia. Pick a lane, and let's see how you do with 400 meters against Belpois." Uncle Jim said as the boys raised their eyebrows. They made their way to the lanes, and got in a start position.
"You ready champ?" Uncle Jim asked.
Jeremy's clone smiled.
"On your marks, get ready, set, bang!" Uncle Jim exclaimed as the boys took off. Jeremy's clone immediately ran faster than Ulrich and Odd. Uncle Jim took us to catch up to them, Odd pushed Jeremy's clone off of him, for some reason Jeremy's clone almost punched Odd.
"Della Robbia, you'd better be careful not to rough up my champion. You okay kid?" Uncle Jim asked. Jeremy's clone did a hand stand, and got back up.
"I'm okay Jim." Jeremy's clone replied.
Uncle Jim crossed his arms. "Okay, better safe than sorry is what I always say. Any volunteers to go with Belpois, to the infirmary?"
Aelita and I raised our hands, Ulrich and Odd did too. We walked away from our class, when Ulrich placed his hand on Odd's shoulder.
"I'm off to the factory with Aelita, and Patricia. Isolate Jeremy two, and watch it." Ulrich said.
"Yeah right, easy for you to say." Odd sighed, walking away with Jeremy's clone. Ulrich dialed his phone.
In the scanner room
We had quickly arrived in the scanner room.
"Hurry up, I've hardly got enough energy to protect the tower." Jeremy informed. Naomi and I walked into the scanners first.
"Naomi and I are ready Jeremy." I announced.
"Okay, I'll start the procedure. Transfer: Patricia. Transfer: Naomi. Scanner: Patricia. Scanner: Naomi. Virtualization!" Jeremy exclaimed as I was transferred onto Lyoko's desert sector. I noticed mine and Naomi's avatars had changed. My usual outfit had changed from what I was used to seeing to some kind of light purple spandex jumpsuit with a part of the top portion looking like a slightly darker shade of purple top armor with the letter C circled. I also had purple knee pads and shin guards and light purple fingerless gloves with a large purple gem where my hand is. I felt something on my back and when I grabbed it, it was a brown bow and there was even a black quiver, which seemed to have at least 10 arrows with purple fletchings. Naomi's outfit on the other hand looked less jumpsuit and more fashionable if anything. She was wearing a red sleeveless turtleneck with two blue vertical stripes running down the outfit, her choker still where it was before, but it was slightly simplified compared to before. She also wore long detached sleeves that kinda looked like gloves at first with a gold metallic band at the end while the sleeves themselves were black. She was also wearing black shorts with a long half-skirt that was light-blue and completely see-through with a red trim with long knee-high red boots with a gold trim. She pulled out a small tube, which at first I thought could probably be a lightsaber, considering that it was on her belt, before it extended into a bo staff.
"Cool bow and arrow." Naomi complimented.
"Thanks, cool bo staff." I complimented noticing how long the silver bo staff looked
"Hey Jeremy, what are my gloves for?" I asked.
"Your gloves are holding some type of power, it seems to sonic." Jeremy replied as Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita touched down.
Ulrich's outfit was a little different from his previous look. He outfit had changed to a completely light yellow color, with brown vertical stripes running down both sides of his body with a dark brown horizontal stripe on his left leg while his sleeves and boots were dark brown, matching the color scheme of his outfit, and had black shoulder pads. On his back contained a small holster with two bladeless kitana blades. He also had a headband with the Lyoko symbol on it. I almost didn't notice this at first, but he also had a splotch of brown at the front of his outfit that appeared to be almost y-shaped.
"Twin blades, perfect for getting a close shave." Ulrich said taking out his blades.
Yumi's outfit consisted of a pink and purple stylized look, with a light pink stripe near her chest, making a reference toward her Japanese heritage, and shoulder pads with cherry blossom flowers decorated on them with some kind of grey pill-like things on her forehead. Aelita's outfit consisted of top armor with pink and white stripes, along with see-through cap sleeves. The bottom part of it consisted of a blue and pink stripes around her the middle of her chest, the colors also matched her light blue see-through skirt. I also noticed she had kept her pink earring, and gained some pink markings on her face.
"I love your skirt Aelita. Your outfits are really cool Patricia, Naomi." Yumi complimented.
"Thanks, I like the bow and arrow a lot." I smiled.
"And thanks Yumi, those shoulder pads aren't bad either." Aelita complimented.
"Hey, you girls can discuss fashion later. The activated tower is by north by north west." Jeremy said as he materialized our vehicles. Ulrich got hopped onto his Overbike, Yumi hopped onto her Overwing, as Aelita hopped on with Yumi. Naomi hopped onto Peter's Overwing, and I hopped onto my Overbike. We started driving our vehicles.
"I can see it." Naomi confirmed.
We could see William floating in the air, along with a single tarantula. XANAfied Peter and Jade were also with him, they got into defensive positions.
"Let's take care of them." XANAfied Peter ordered in a dark distorted voice, as William hovered down and held his sword on his shoulder. The three started walking toward us. William dragged his sword on the ground, as Peter summoned his dark fire balls, and Jade summoned her fans. Ulrich and I jumped off of our Overbikes, hoping to send them on their way.
"Supersmoke!" The three exclaimed in unison, as they vanished into the ground, they appeared when William used his sword, and Peter used his dark fire ball. Ulrich's Overbike flew over William's sword, and Peter threw his dark fire ball at my Overbike. Ulrich's Overbike bounced and hit the tarantula causing it to fall while mine was de-materialized. Peter started throwing his fire balls at Aelita and Yumi, Jade tried throwing her fans at Naomi, and all three of them tried dodging them, but the attacks landed on the Overwings, causing them to fall. Aelita bracelet suddenly started to glow and pink wings appeared. Naomi's hands started to change to the color blue, and she started to create ice, which held her in mid-air.
"Whoa, I didn't realize I had new magic." Naomi said floating in the air, with her ice magic. Naomi continued to dodge Peter's and Jade's attacks, as Aelita flew down, she pulled Yumi back up.
"Aelita, you're an angel." Yumi smiled.
Ulrich continued to battle William, as I continued to use my bow and arrow. I pulled back on the bow, and released another arrow with my sonic powers. This caused Peter and Jade, to jump out of the way. I continued firing my arrows one by one, with a sonic boom. Each arrow missed, but it caused Peter and Jade a great deal of pain. Naomi flew over to me, as Jade and Peter surrounded us. Peter summoned a fire ball, and Naomi used her new ice powers, which froze the fire ball in midair.
"Supersmoke!" XANAfied Peter exclaimed in his dark distorted voice, as he vanished in the ground and reappeared behind Naomi.
He used his dark blast, and devirtualized Naomi before she had a chance to react. I used my sonic gloves, to create sound blasts which caused pain for XANAfied Peter and Jade. I then made sonic tunnels in my hand, and flew in the air to where Aelita was. William, Jade, and Peter re-appeared using their supersmoke. The tarantula's continued to fire at Aelita and me.
"Go on." XANAfiedPeter called out.
Aelita and I continued to dodge the lasers, but the next thing we heard were two Tarantula's, who were pushed off of the edge. We were hit by them, and started to fall. The diamonds in my gloves started to go in and out, but they stopped and started to fully glow again. I was able to fly using the sonic tunnels, and Aelita flew, as she continued flapping her wings in the air. We flew up in time, to see Yumi's fan slashing the tarantula, which was very close to her, and the tarantula was destroyed. Yumi caught her fan. Aelita and I flew up, as Peter and Jade tried attacking us in mid-air. We continued to dodge their attacks, and we flew down before flying close to the ground as we flew toward William, Peter, and Jade.
"Energy field!" Aelita exclaimed, summoning her energy fields, I charged my hands and threw two sonic blasts at the XANAfied Peter and Jade. William blocked the energy field, but XANAfied Peter and Jade once again, kneeled down in pain. Aelita and I flew up in the air once more, and flew down into the crater. The tarantula's continued that was guarding the tower, continued to fire at us. Aelita and I dodged the lasers, and flew under the plateau. We could see the tarantula's looking down, trying to find us. I readied my arrow, as I started to pull back my bow.
"Energy field!" Aelita exclaimed as she threw her bow, and I released my arrow. Aelita's energy field made a direct hit, as did my arrow, the tarantula's fell down, and exploded. Aelita and I flew back up to the plateau.
"Well done!" Yumi complimented.
Aelita and I flew to the tower, and touched down on the ground. We slowly entered the tower. Aelita and I stepped onto the first platform, it lite up. We started to fly onto the second one. We touched down on the second platform, and walked to the edge of it. Two panels popped up, we placed our hands on the panels.
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
Patricia
Code
Carter
"Tower deactivated." Aelita said as the files went down.
"Return to the past, now!" Jeremy exclaimed as the white bubble engulfed us.
In the lab
Odd and Ulrich were leaning on the holosphere display, Yumi was leaning on it with her arms crossed, Aelita sat in a crisscross position, Naomi and I were leaning on the holosphere display as well.
Jeremy took off of his glasses, Aelita rubbed her head, and stopped.
"So there's no way of bringing them back, right?" Aelita asked, as I looked down and sighed. Jeremy had put his glasses back on and said:
"Not for the time being."
"Have you got a plan b?" Yumi asked as Jeremy got up from his chair.
"Well, we haven't got any other choice. We'll have to make a copy of William and Jade to replace them, here at the academy. We'll have to give Delmas updates, by impersonating Peter so he doesn't grow suspicious." Jeremy replied.
"Isn't making a copy of William and Jade, well risky?" Naomi asked.
"I agree with Naomi." Ulrich nodded.
"Yep, but it's the only way to calm down Jim and Delmas." Jeremy replied.
"Okay, but don't ever ask me to take the copies to the infirmary. Okay?" Odd asked.
Later
We were on the steps by the arches, patiently waiting for William's and Jade's clones.
"Hopefully William's and Jade's copy, haven't developed emerging qualities like someone else I know." Odd said.
William and Jade came out of the science building, holding their hands like a couple in love.
"At least they look happy together." Yumi said.
"And from this distance, they look normal too." Aelita added.
"But up close?" Ulrich asked.
Mr. Delmas approached them.
"Well Dunbar my boy, and Miss Chardin, I'm glad to see that your fevers have broken and you're feeling well." Mr. Delmas said, placing his hands on their shoulders.
"Broken?" Jade asked.
"Did we break anything else?" William asked.
We looked at them, surprised.
"Ah." Mr. Delmas chuckled lightly.
"Don't forget to take your medicine." Mr. Delmas reminded them, walking away. Jade looked confused as anything, William just shrugged.
"Well, we're not out of the woods yet." Odd said.
"That's for sure Odd." I agreed.
Something tells me it's only going to get harder from here, I thought.
And done! I hope everyone liked this chapter! Don't forget to review!
