Episode 83 Sissi and the Secret

It was the first actual day that the gang had had off from doing anything on Lyoko in a long time. "So Jeremie, have you given any thought to adding on more people to our gang?" Odd asked as he sat down at the lunch table with a tray loaded with food.

"Well yeah, I was considering reinstating Sissi. I mean she had time to tell our secret last time but she didn't."

"Well maybe I should talk to her, last time she seemed to listen to me, so maybe I can get her to keep her mouth shut."

"Good idea Odd." William stated as he sat down with his tray. "Dang, how the heck are you gonna eat all that?"

"Over the last couple years I have found that Odd is more like a bottomless pit when it comes to food." Jeremie stated holding back a laugh.

Odd turned around and spotted a new girl. "Whose that?"

William looked over. "Oh that is the new girl Hikari... Something, I don't remember her last name."

Ulrich walked up behind William. "It is Shellon, how could you not remember that?"

"What about her, can we ask her to join?"

"Well... Can we trust her?"

"Think about it, she is a new kid, she might be willing to join and keep it a secret if she is looking to make a whole gang of new friends."

"Very good point Odd, but let's deal with Sissi, she is the only one besides Jim who is doing everything they can to find out our secret." Yumi stated as she sat down.

"All right, got any suggestions as to when I should talk to her?"

"You should probably wait until later today, you know, after classes."

"All right, but I will talk to her and ask her to meet me today after school but I will do so at the end of lunch." He finished his lunch and smiled. "I could try now but Nicolas and Herve are over there."

"Go figure. They are stuck to her like glue." Yumi then looked around. "Where is Aelita?"

"She wasn't feeling to well today so I told her not to worry and to get some rest."

"What if XANA launches an attack?" Odd asked.

"I'll figure something out. Maybe a temporary replicate of her on Lyoko."

"You can do that?" Ulrich asked, surprised he could do that.

"Yeah, as long as there is a trace of Digital DNA of someone in Lyoko then I should be able to make an exact replica. See if we couldn't get William back then I was gonna try and do the reverse for him. Create a real world replica."

"Gee, glad to know you had so much faith in the recovery of me." He couldn't help but laugh at that.

Later on when they were all leaving Odd ran up to Sissi. "Umm Sissi?"

"What is it Odd?" She asked in a sort of grumpy tone. "If you are going to ask me something you better hurry before I change my mind."

"Well actually I was hoping to talk to you after school away from Nicolas and Herve."

"Is it important?"

"Yes, very important."

"All right, I will see you after school, meet me in the computer room."

He smiled and rubbed his head. "Thanks, I will see you then. I better hurry, I got to go take a test." He started to walk away.

"And Odd..."

"Yeah?"

"Good luck with that test. I mean it." She smiled and kind made her hand look like a gun as she did the motion of shooting it. "You could use the luck."

He blushed a little. "Well thanks for that. I will deffinitely remember that." He started to run towards his classroom to take the test. When he got there he sat down and started to work on it. 'Does she like me or something, that was really weird, and what was with the gun thing?' When he finished he decided not to dwell on it. He thought it was impossible for Sissi to like anyone other than Ulrich anyway. At the end of the school day he hurried to the computer room so he could be prepared for whatever she was about to do to him, he thought it might be a trap but he was trying to plan ahead.

Sissi walked up to the computer room and looked back at Nicolas and Herve. "I thought I told you two to go away."

"But Sissi..."

"No, I mean it, go!" She pointed as she stomped.

They both walked away with their heads down. Odd looked out of the computer room and saw that she was standing there.

"Oh hi Odd." She smiled as she stepped into the computer room and shut the door. "Now, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"You have been after the secret about my buddies and I."

"Yeah, you guys are always up to something and I want to know what it is."

"Well you will have to promise to keep it a secret from everyone outside of the group."

"And who does this group include?"

"Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi, William, Aelita, and myself."

"Fine, I can keep a secret, now what are you guys always doing?"

"Come with me, I will show you, do you have some roller blades or a bike?"

"Why?"

"It would make the trip a lot quicker."

"I have a bike."

"All right, let's go." He ran outside and walked over to the bike rack. "Which is your's?"

"Oh crap, I forgot mine at home."

He sighed as he walked over to his own bike. "This one has pegs, come on, you ride on back." He got on the bike and put his helmet on.

She stood on the back and put her hands on his shoulders. "Just don't do any pop-a-wheelies."

"No problem." He started riding to the factory. When they arrived he smiled. "Come on, I hope you're not afraid of heights."

"Why?"

"The place we are going is down near the basement and we are on the upper level and there are no stairs, just chains we swing on."

"Let's just get this over with."

"Just let me make sure that they are all here." He took out his phone. "Hey Jeremie, where are you and is everyone else with you?"

"Yeah, we are all in the scanner room."

"Wait even Aelita?"

"Yeah, she ate some soup and felt a lot better. Now hurry up and get down here."

"Ok, I'm on my way." He hung up. "All right, let's go Sissi." He jumped onto one of the chains and swung down towards the elevator.

She grabbed on and swung down too. "Sure thing, lead the way."

He walked over to the elevator and went in and smiled at her. When she was in he hit the button and they were starting on the way to the Scanner Room. When the doors opened he smiled. "Here we are."

"Good, and you made sure she would keep the secret right Odd?"

"Yeah, I told him I could keep a secret. Now what is the big deal with you guys?"

"Odd, I will explain it to her." Jeremie stated as he walked towards her. He explained everything from A to X, X being XANA.

"Whoa, how the heck did you guys keep this a secret for so long?"

"It took a lot of hard work."

"And that means that all these times I tried to find out I was putting Aelita in danger as well as the world."

"Well yeah, I guess that is how someone could look at it." He smiled.

"So, now that I know how are we going to make sure that I remember when you take a return trip to the past."

"Well we have been thinking about that. Sissi, if you can promise to keep this top secret then we are willing to make you officially part of the group." Odd stated for Jeremie.

"You mean, if I promise to keep it a secret I will get to go into Lyoko with you guys and fight along side all of you except Jeremie?"

"Yep." Odd stated as he was kind of hoping she agreed.

"Well I have three words for you guys."

"Oh man..."

"Sign me up." She smiled.

Jeremie smiled. "Thank you for agreeing to keep it a secret, plus, you have a great deal of influence, you could easily come to the factory with us and no one would think the wiser to check it out."

"Well I guess that is a good reason for me to join. But do I have to get fit?"

"Well I would suggest picking up the speed as we have to some times run away from XANA's attacks in the real world."

"Well all right, I will start tomorrow, when do I get to be virtualized?"

"Well... how about right now, I will send Aelita, Odd, and William first, then I will virtualize you. The others will be there to tell me how it turned out and also just in case XANA decides to attack."

"Right, so we just step into these scanners?"

"Yeah that is pretty much it, I have to put in some codes and you will be sent to Lyoko."

"All right, and I just have to wait until after you virtualize Aelita, William, and Odd." She nodded.

"Yep, now then, you three get in the scanners." Jeremie stated as he climbed up to the computer room. "All right, starting up the process. Enter the scanners now." He smiled as they walked in. "Transfer Odd, Transfer William, Transfer Aelita. Scanner Odd, Scanner William, Scanner Aelita. Scanning... Virtualization."

"Ok, we're here, you can send Sissi."

"Right, Sissi, step into the middle Scanner."

"Right." She stepped into the newly opened Scanner.

"Transfer Sissi... Scanner Sissi... Scanning... Virtualization!!" As he hit the button a Block showed up on Lyoko and was aiming for the newly virtualizing Sissi.

Odd and the others were too busy looking up at her to see the Block show up.

She started to show up feet first as it went up to her tail and slowly reached the rest of her and she was in the same get up as Odd but her out fit was pink. As she started to fall down towards the ground the Block fired and she was sent flying towards the edge of the sector.

Odd turned around. "Laser arrow!!" He shot it five times, going a little overboard but he didn't like that idea.

"Odd, she is going towards the Digital Sea, hurry and shoot her to devirtualize her." All of a sudden he got a message that popped up on his screen. "What is this?"

She started to do a back flip as she then held out her hand to try and grab the edge. She had managed to slow down her speed a little while going through the air.

"I don't get it." All of a sudden the message came through loud and clear. "Claws activated."

On her hands she had claws at her finger tips and as the computer said that her claws lengthened slightly and got sharper. She was able to pick up on this and dug into the side of the sector. She then pulled herself up. "Wow, that was close, let's see, according to my memory of what you told me Jeremie if I fall into that Digital Sea then there is no coming back for me, right?"

Jeremie had to adjust his jaw as it was just hanging there open. "Ummm... Yeah, good memory, how did you do that just now?"

"I don't remember, I got scared and held out my hand and I was focused on using a dagger, I guess my powers activated and lengthened my cat claws." She then looked at herself. "Why do I look like the pink version of Odd?"

"I have no clue. We don't even know how Odd got like that." He looked at his computer. "And by the way, XANA just launched an attack, let me do a quick scan of Sissi's skills, see what she can do." He smiled and pressed a few buttons. "That is odd, you have a laser gun on your right hip." He then looked at her hands. "And those claws can act as weapons at a close range. They also work sort of like a grappling device, you were able to grab onto something from close range. Oh and you have an energy shield like Odd, but you can't keep it up forever, just until it takes too many hits from attacks." He looked at the digital scanner. "All right, the Tower is in that sector luckily. Hurry up though, it is a little ways in front of you. Now Sissi, you have three choices. You can ride with William, you can ride with Odd, or you can be carried by Aelita."

"Ride on what?"

"Their vehicles." He brought them up.

"I think I'll ride with Odd." She got on the back of his hover board after he got on.

They all took off straight for the tower. "Now keep an eye out for any monsters, including the Scyphozoa."

When they got to the tower they stopped. "That's odd, no monsters in sight." Aelita stated as she landed on her feet. "Well I'm off." She took off through the tower and managed to deactivate it. "All right, let's go."

"Right, I am rematerializing you guys now." He smiled as he brought them all back.

Sissi came up and was smiling. "That was so much fun. Maybe next time I can get a few shots in at my enemies but other then that it was awesome."

"I'm glad you think so. Welcome to the Lyoko Gang."
