"I can't believe this!" Jeremie said in despair. "Now there's nothing to stop XANA from totally destroying Franz Hopper!"
Indeed, as Yumi waited for him to appear, William emerged, and waited along with her. As Franz Hopper began to ascend from the Digital Sea, two Tarantulas materialised next to them. Immediately, the Tarantulas began firing at him. He floated down the path, trying desperately to get away from them. Meanwhile, Yumi threw her fan at him and wiped off a chunk of his life points. As she did so, he dropped Aelita onto the ground. She rose to her feet unsteadily, and looked at William, who was running towards them.
"Daddy, no, I won't let this happen to you. Energy field!" She fired at William, but he blocked the attack with his sword, and immediately he swung his sword at her, devirtualising her instantly. As she emerged in the scanner room, she began crying, realising that she would never see her father again. William reached Franz Hopper, and with brute force he smashed the sword into him.
"Franz Hopper only has 8% of his life points left", Jeremie said. "If he gets hit just one more time, it'll all be over!"
"Yumi!" Ulrich pleaded. "You've got to stop obeying XANA!"
But Yumi was firmly in XANA's grasp. With one final throw of her fans, she sniped Franz Hopper, and he disappeared in a bright flash."
"I… I… can't believe it!" Jeremie started to cry.
"Daddy…" Aelita had gone up to the computer lab by this point. "He's…" She began to cry even harder."
"We've lost everything! With Franz Hopper gone, we're the only threats to XANA's existence" Jeremie uttered. "And Yumi's still in his clutches!"
"Hold on!" Odd interjected. "They appear to be running towards the way tower. But why?"
"Huh?" Jeremie was snapped back into conscious thoughts. "I…er… I don't quite know what's going on here?"
Suddenly, two of the scanners became activated.
"This is really weird…"Jeremie started typing away on his computer once again.
"But Jeremie, don't you have video cameras of the scanner room?" Ulrich pointed out.
"Of course! I guess with Franz Hopper dead I'm not thinking too straight." He activated the scanner room's CCTV, and sure enough, Yumi and William had emerged in the scanners, but not in their human forms. After XANA had used the Scyphozoa to steal data from the Skidbladnir, he had managed to master the process of teleportation. Consequently, Yumi and William had their Lyoko forms and weapons intact. Yumi looked directly into the camera, and smirked.
