Monday 7:46 a.m. Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, and Aelita were waiting for Yumi, Ashley, and Brandon to show up. "Are you sure they told us to meet them here?" Odd asked. "Brandon said by the entrance gate" Jeremy told him. "Then where are they?" Odd said complaing about being dragged out there making him miss breakfest. "I could've ate breakfest if it weren't for you two draging me out here" Odd complained. "Aw did the baby miss breakfest" A voice from behind Odd said. When he turned around Brandon was standing there behind him smiling he was wearing a green shirt, green pants, a black wrist band on his right wrist and he was wearing white nikes. "Ashley and Yumi not here?" He asked the others. "We thought they would be with you" Aelita said. "No, I'm a border here" Brandon told her. "Then why did you not come back here with us?" Ulrich asked him. "I had to make sure all my stuff was packed" Brandon told him. "Besides I Needed to speak to Ashley about an important matter; ah they're here" Brandon said looking at the gate as yumi and Ashley came through. "Hey" Yumi said. Brandon turned and asked Aelita how it felt to be on earth. "Its great" She told him. "Good" Brandon said. "Hey Ulrich" A voice called from behind him. "Oh please tell me its not who I think it is" Ulrich groaned. Sissi came up smiling pleasantly and said good morning to everyone including Yumi. "You're in a good mood today" Odd said to her. "I am" She told him. "I'm gone" Brandon said trying to leave. "Hi Brandon" Sissi said to him. Brandon stopped "fuck" He mumbled to himself annoyed that sissi had noticed him. "Hello Elizabeth" He said to her. "Please call me Sissi" She said. "Fine" Brandon said groaning. "You know each other?" Aelita asked. "Worse" Brandon said. "He's my cousin" Sissi said. "WHAT!" Odd yelled as his jaw dropped. "Brandon where have you been these past five years?" Sissi asked. "Lets see I first spent 6 months in Tokyo studing traditional karate, then I was in Seoul, South Korea for a year studied taekwon do there but I never mastered it, for 18 months I was in Bejing, China I learned jujitsu, ninjitsu and pai gua there, and then I spent the last two years in America" Brandon told her. "You've been gone five years and thats all you did?" Sissi asked him. "Well no thats just the easy stuff" Brandon told her.While they were all talking the bell had rang none of them noticed. Jim walked up to them, but before he could say anything Brandon pointed at him and yelled "GODZILLA".
"Oh my bad its just some big fat ugly guy" Brandon said. Everyone started to laugh. Jim yelled at them to get to class. Ashley and Brandon went to wait for the principal to take them to thier first class. They were taken to Mr. Fumet's geography class. As the principal introduced the two new students Brandon's cell started to ring. "Forgot to turn it off" He said as he turned it off he saw the number that was calling. "Dammit" He said as he put it back in his pocket. Before Ashley and Brandon took thier seats Brandon turned and asked the principal "Uncle Delmas who's the fat ugly guy with the red sweat jacket out in the front?" referring to Jim. "Brandon comments like that will get you in trouble" Mr. Delmas said. "Yeah i guess so, but still who is he I thought it was Godzilla for a minute definately big enough" Brandon said as some of the students laughed when they realized he was talking about Jim. The principal left the class room after Brandon and Ashley took thier seats. Yumi was sitting at the desk to the left of Ashley William was sitting with her. Brandon sat next to Ashley. The class ended after about 90 minutes. Brandon left to go talk to Aelita; Ashley went to talk with Yumi about what lyoko has been like. Brandon walked up to Aelita outside and asked her how XANA was turned back on. As Aelita began to tell him the next bell started to ring and they both walked to thier next class. They both had Mrs. Hertz for technology. Aelita and Jeremy sat next to each other, Ulrich and Odd were sitting together again. Sissi was sitting with Brandon. Herv and Nicholas were sitting behind Sissi and Brandon watching Brandon as if he were about to try something. Mrs. Hertz was talking about the personality capabilities of robots and the computer parts that allow them to function with near human qualities. When she finished she told the class to write a page about what they think of the possibilty of robots acting exactly like humans. Twenty minutes later Aelita finished along with Jeremy, Herv and Brandon. When the class ended everybody headed down to lunch. Brandon was explaining to Jeremy about the flaw in his method of activating towers to combat XANA's ghosts. Yumi was still talking to Ashley and Aelita. Odd was telling Ulrich about his new girlfriend.
The rest of the day went by smoothly as the last bell rang Yumi and Ashley said goodbye to the others as they headed home. Jeremy and Aelita went to work on the solution to Aelita's "virus". Odd went to talk to his girlfriend Ulrich went back to the dorms with Brandon. "So how long have you guys known Aelita and XANA?" Brandon asked him. "Almost two years" Ulrich replied. "Thats it?" Brandon said. They didn't say anything else for the rest of the walk back to the dorms.
Brandon entered his room and Ulrich continued to his. About five minutes after he laid down on his bed he heard music from the hall. He got up to go see why it was so loud. When he opened the door to Brandons room he almost went deaf because of the booming music. When Brandon noticed him he turned down the music and asked him what he was doing. "Why is the music so loud?" Ulrich asked half shouting. "Because I like it like that" Brandon told him. "Well keep it down will ya?" Ulrich asked him. "I'll think about it" Brandon said. As Ulrich shut the door and started walking back to his room Odd came running up the hall. Ulrich XANA's at it again Odd shouted to him. Before they started to go back down the hall they heard Brandon shouting from his room. "HOLY HELL." They both ran into Brandon's room. Brandon was attacked by one of XANA's ghosts. "Come on you freak" Brandon yelled as he charged at the ghosts which picked him up and threw him through the wall. Brandon got up holding his left arm which was heavily bleeding. "That was nothing is that your best" Brandon said.
Ulrich and Odd tried to get Brandon away from the ghost and to the factory, but Brandon stayed and told them to go on while he held it off. As Odd and Ulrich left for the factory Brandon jumped out of his window. He got up and ran over to Ulrich and Odd and said "Screw it lets run". When they entered the sewers they grabbed thier boards Brandon ran. They climbed the ladder at the other end and went to the elevator. As they entered the computer room Jeremy told them that he already sent Yumi, Aelita and Ashley to lyoko. Brandon walked over to the wall and removed a fake piece from it and pulled out a small box.
He said "This should get rid of that ghost". He opened the box it was full of magnets. He handed the box to Jeremy and told him to hit the ghosts with these if it came near him. After that he went to Lyoko's ice sector with Odd and Ulrich. When they got there Brandon was almost hit by a blocks laser. "You wanna play like that" Brandon said pulling out his assault rifle "I can play the same way" He said as he started to fire at the enemies. "Heads up XANA's aerial laser preparing to fire" Jeremy warned them. "Everyone scatter and don't stop moving until after it fires" Yumi yelled. They all ran in different directions the laser fired and hit Ulrich's arm and he disappeared after he got hit. "I knew that laser was familiar" Ashley said. "What are you talking about?" Brandon asked, still taking cover in the ice cavern he ran into. "Do you remember the laser alexia programed to attack XANA during our fights?" Ashley said. "Yeah I remember, but XANA killed her before it was finished" Brandon said to Ashley. "XANA must have finished it" Ashley yelled to him. "That bastard" Brandon said. "So how do you propose to destroy the thing" He asked. "First we have to find out where he's shooting it from" Ashley told him. "Its got to be sector five" Aelita said.
"Say what?" Brandon said to her. "There's a fifth sector in lyoko its were XANA lives his memory and everything" Jeremy told him. "Then lets go" Brandon said. "How do we get there?" Ashley asked. "I'm calling the transporter now" Jeremy told them. As the transporter took them to sector five Jeremy got a little visiter on his screen. "Hello Jeremy so nice to talk to you finally" A distorted voice from the computer said. "XANA" Jeremy said trying to get up but the ghost from the school grabbed him and forced him back into the seat. "Don't try to run unless you want to end up dead" XANA told him. "What do you want?" Jeremy said. "I want you to give me everything you have on file that you collected from sector five" XANA said. "Why should I?" Jeremy asked.
"Look at you're screen" XANA said Jeremy noticed that there were fourteen creepers surrounding Aelita and the others on Lyoko. "Now either you give me the files or they go down, and Aelita will be defenseless" XANA said. Jeremy grabbed one of the magnets Brandon gave him and tossed it on the ghost the ghost made a mechanical sounding screech and began to fade Jeremy grabbed the other magnets and tossed them all on the ghost the ghost had completely faded. Jeremy returned to his computer and told everyone about the creepers that were hiding from them. "Negative Jeremy I can't see anything hostile" Brandon said. "Be careful they're there somewhere" Jeremy told them. As they proceded to the outer end of the sector Odd fired three arrows, but only hit the wall. "Odd did you see them?" Jeremy asked him. "There's nothing here he's just wasting ghosts" Brandon said to Jeremy. Brandon grabbed Odd and said "When you do that you give away our position so don't shoot unless you know something is there". They got to the computer and Aelita started to look for the laser program. She found it, but it wasn't the only thing that was there. "Jeremy there's something here you need to see" Aelita told him. "What?" Jeremy asked. Before Aelita could tell him Yumi, Ashley and Brandon were hit by the ASL laser. Jeremy told Odd and Aelita to get out and back to the ice sector and deactivate the tower. When they returned to the ice barrier the ASL fired again Odd avoided a very narrow miss. When Aelita got to the tower and entered the lyoko code she said tower deactivated as she did XANA's voice faded from the computer as he said "That thing is back". Jeremy launched the return trip and Aelita and Jeremy were still worried about what had happened.
"Alright I'm going to analyze the data for the ASL that Aelita retrieved and find a way to neutralize it" Jeremy told them. Everyone headed back to they're rooms. Odd asked what ASL meant. "AIR-TO-SURFACE LASER" Brandon said. "It was programed by someone alot smartter than Jeremy so I doubt he'll figure it out any time soon". "Hey Aelita what did you find on the computer that was so interesting?" Odd asked her. "It was the MARABOUTA program" She said in a frightened voice.
