Thunderstorm
The scene shows a classroom, with Sundra, Will, Rita, and her lackeys in it. A few of the students are rowdy. A teacher walks in. She is a slender woman, with medium-length pink hair and wearing a dark pink jacket and matching pants, and a pair of pinkish heels.
"Settle down, everyone," she says. Immediately, the students take their seats. "Remember to put your homework on my desk. Now, let's review yesterday's lesson. Mr. Knight, do you mind telling us what this is?" She draws a right trapezoid on the chalkboard.
"Um, a right trapezoid, Mrs. Schaeffer," Will replies.
"Correct Mr. Knight," Mrs. Schaeffer says," now, Ms. Gomez, tell us how many degrees are in the interior of a right trapezoid."
"Um, 3000 degrees, ma'am," Rita says. The class laughs at her answer.
"No, Ms. Gomez, its 360 degrees, but good effort nonetheless," Mrs. Schaeffer tells Rita.
The scene jumps 40 minutes later, and the bell rings for the next period.
"Remember to read pages 180 to 189 and do the review questions for next class," Mrs. Schaeffer tells her students before they leave. Will and Sundra walk to the arches to meet the other three.
"Hey guys, how was your class?" Ilene asks Will and Sundra.
"It wasn't bad, but still completely impossible to remember all those equations," Sundra tells Ilene.
"Speaking of equations, can anyone help me with this homework?" Dani asks.
"Jeez, waiting to the last minute to finish homework?" Ilene asks.
"Hey, algebra isn't easy for everyone, Mrs. Einstein. Especially when you have the strictest math teacher ever," Dani tells her.
"Relax, we have a few minutes, I'll help you," Ilene says to Dani, taking her away.
"Alright, I should be getting to chemistry," Kenny says," see ya later." He walks away to the science building.
"We should be going, too. We have to get to English before the teacher arrives," Will says. He and Sundra walk to their English class.
Meanwhile, at a television station, the antennas begin to be enveloped in purple electricity. A spectre jumps out of them and into a cloud. The cloud itself turns dark and begins to spark purple electricity. The cloud begins to shoot purple lightning bolts as it goes into the city.
At the end of the school day, and at about 6 o' clock, dinner began. The five headed to the cafeteria as the sun dipped into the horizon.
"So Ilene, have you figured out a solution to defeat XANA?" Will asks.
"No, I've said before, it could take a while before I can destroy it," Ilene replies.
"Maybe we should shut it down, who knows how powerful XANA could get." Sundra says. Dani says something, but muffed by the spaghetti Bolognese in her mouth. The others look at her funny.
"I said, it's only been a month since we turn the supercomputer on, so relax Sundra," Dani says with her food out of her mouth.
BOOM! BOOM!
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked outside. A few purple lightning bolts struck the ground. The power in the shops and buildings went out.
"What just happened?" Kenny asks.
"Sounded like thunder and lighting," Dani says.
"On a cloudless night, I'd doubt that," Ilene says.
"Could it be XANA?" Will asks.
"Not sure, I'll go to my room and check my computer for any activated towers," Ilene says. She returns her tray and runs to her room.
BOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
More flashes of lightning struck the ground, but closer to the school. The power of the school went out, leaving the only source of light, the moon outside peering into the cafeteria. A few of the sixth and seventh grade boarders began to cry, scared of the lightning bolts that struck near the cafeteria.
Meanwhile, Ilene runs to her dorm room, to get to her computer. The superscan picked up an activated tower. At that moment the power goes out, turning off her computer. She tries to call the group, but the power knocked out the cell towers.
"Damn, looks like I'll have to go back," Ilene says to herself, running back to the cafeteria.
Back at the cafeteria, Coach Maurell walks into the cafeteria. Coach Maurell is a white man in his forties, he is rotund, wearing a red sweat-jacket with a "K" embroidered on it, grey sweatpants, red sneakers, and a whistle around his neck.
"Listen up! I want all of you to stay in the cafeteria. If you attempt to leave here, you will get detention, got it!" Coach Maurell tells the students in the cafeteria.
"Great, that means if there is an activated tower, we can't get out," Kenny says.
"Wait, I have an idea, I'll get Coach out of here, and Dani, I want you to get Ilene, Kenny, Sundra, go to the factory," Will tells him. Another lightning bolt strikes near the cafeteria, and the younger students crying harder. Will then goes up to Coach Maurell. "Um, Coach maybe we should get some of the younger ones out of the cafeteria, they seem really upset, and I think it would be best if they return to their dorms, so they aren't as freaked out."
"Actually Knight, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. That reminds me of when I was a kindergarten teacher, seeing the smiles on young kids faces, as they learned, brightened anyone's day, but I'd rather not talk about it. Okay, anyone whose been balling for the last fifteen minutes, come up to me and Knight, so we can escort you to your rooms," Coach Maurell says. The younger students lined up near Coach Maurell and Will. They began to go the dorms. After the coast was clear, the three began to exit the cafeteria. But Rita saw them trying to leave.
"And where you three be going?" Rita asks them.
"We need to get Ilene, she's been in the bathroom for the last few minutes, and we need to warn her," Sundra makes up.
"Really, then only one of you should go," Rita says, but by the time she finishes her sentence, they're gone.
"They're gone Rita," Henry says.
"I know that nerd-linger," Rita says to her lackey. More lightning flashes, but as leaving the grounds and into the park, they see the lightning flashing from all directions.
At the park entrance into the sewers, Dani finds Ilene and then Sundra and Kenny. They ride the sewers on their skateboards, except for Ilene, who has a scooter. Within a few minutes, the four reached the part of the sewers that runs underneath the Virbank Industrial District and where the sewer dumps out to the Bay of Virbank. They climb out of the sewers and run to the factory. After reaching the freight elevator, they quickly realized the power to the factory was out as well. The four decided on going the other way. Sundra, Ilene, Kenny, and Dani made it to the lab room.
"Why's the supercomputer still running while everything else is out?" Sundra asks.
"The supercomputer runs on uranium batteries, so it really shouldn't run out of power any time soon. Now, get to the scanner room," Ilene states. Sundra, Kenny, and Dani go to the hatch to the scanner room. Ilene sits in the chair and boots up the supercomputer.
"We're ready, Mrs. Einstein," Dani says.
"Alright, transfer Sundra. Transfer Kenny. Transfer Dani. Scanner Sundra. Scanner Kenny. Scanner Dani. Virtualization," Ilene states. The three are materialized in the mountain sector. "Alright guys, the activated tower is south west of your position."
"Thanks for the tip," Sundra says. The three begin to run southwest.
Back on Earth, Will and Coach Maurell finish escorting the little kids back to their room. Will walks past Sundra and Dani's room and hears Kiwi barking. He enters the room and sees Kiwi. He glances outside and sees the lightning problem is worse, most, if not, all the city's power is out and the park is burning.
Will sits on a bed with Kiwi in his lap. She finishes barking.
"Wow, it's gotten even worse. I should call Ilene," Will says to himself. He tries to call her, but finds out the cell towers are out. "No reception. Great, looks like I'll have to go to the factory to warn her." He runs off to the factory, taking the streets, rather than the entrance to the park.
Back on Lyoko, Dani, Kenny, and Sundra reach a piece of land that is ring shaped, close to the activated tower. Kenny halts them.
"This seem to easy," Kenny says, but he is quickly taken out by a laser. He is then materialized on Earth and goes up to the computer lab.
"Of course, a sneaky Megatank," Dani says. Another laser is fired and hits Sundra.
"That's 40 life points lost, Sundra," Ilene says.
"And a Krab, too," Sundra states.
"You get the Krab, the Megatank is mine," Dani says, preparing to fire her laser arrows.
"Come here Mr. Krab," Sundra states as she runs toward the tower. The Krab pursues her, shooting lasers at her.
Back in the lab, Ilene and Kenni are staring at the supercomputer. Will then runs into the lab, winded.
"Ilene, you need to, huff, launch, huff, a return to the past. Huff, the park is on fire, and I'm not sure if anyone, huff, injured, so better safe than sorry," Will says, falling to the floor.
"Got it," Ilene states, while programing a time reversion.
"By the way, do you know what XANA is planning?" Will asks.
Ilene says, "I'm not 100% sure, but maybe it's to use the lightning bolts to absorb or knock-out electrical items, causing communications to go out..."
"...causing riots and chaos, and for XANA to step in to enslave humanity," Kenny finishes.
"Right, which means we need to get that tower deactivated ASAP," Ilene says.
On Lyoko, Sundra charges up her energy fields and begins to fire at the Krab.
"Energy field!" Sundra shouts. It hits the Krab, enveloping it in a blue energy, and destroying it. Dani is meanwhile, dodging the Megatank's laser.
"Come, on is that all you got?" Dani asks to taunt the Megatank. After dodging another laser, she shoots and arrow, but the Megatank closes it shell. It opens back up, and as it's charging its laser, Dani shoots it in the eye of XANA, destroying it.
"Alright, ladies, that's enough, time to deactivate the tower," Ilene states.
"Sundra, get this one, plus you're closer," Dani states. Sundra rolls her eyes and runs to the tower. She enters the tower and begins to levitate to the second platform. She lands on the second platform and enters "Code LYOKO" on the interface.
"Return to the past, now!" Ilene shouts. A bright white dome begins to cover the factory, then the school, and finally the city. The time reversion send them back to 6 o' clock, to the beginning of dinnertime for the boarders.
"Mmm, the spaghetti bolognese is even better the second time around," Dani states with her enjoying dinner again.
"Honestly, we can't just shove this attack under the rug, like we do with most attacks, this could of potentially been the closest XANA had to enslave humanity," Kenny states aloud.
"I know, but still, we can't go to the police, and if we did, we would be in custody of the government," Ilene says.
"Guys cheer up, now is the time to eat, plus we haven't had dessert yet," Dani says to cheer everyone up.
"For once, I agree with your stomach," Will says. Dani glares at him as the other laugh.
