It was in the morning as the group was sitting down in the cafeteria with the Kadic News as Yumi walked in.

"Hey guys. What's this? There's actually news in the Kadic News?" Yumi asked.

Ibiuki ran in.

"Can you believe it? A member of the Subdigitals is visiting… today! And It's their drummer, Chris!" Ibuki said. "He's coming to Kadic today! Apparently he's here to visit his uncle."

"Well, you would be excited about this, being the Ultimate Musician. But the real questions is, who is his uncle?" Mahiru asked.

"There are a lot of options here at Kadic." Ulrich said.

"It could be anyone." Odd said. "But definitely not Jim."

Odd bumped into him at that exact moment.

"Way to go, Della Robbia, you managed to be clumsy yet again." Jim said.

"Hey Jim, youre pretty plugged in alot of the time. You wouldnt happen to have a nephew who plays drummer in the subdidgitals, right?" Ibuki asked.

"Please, Ibuki. He's more into stuff like the Oldies." Odd said.

"Now hang on. I also like Rock music and I love the Subdigitals. I have a nephew in their band." Jim said before realizing what he just said.

"Ha! I knew it! You're Chris's Uncle!" Odd said.

"Uh, did I just say that?" Jim asked.

"You sure did, Jim." Hope said.

"Fine. I'm Chris's Uncle." Jim said in defeat.

"Well, I know one guy who was proven wrong today." Hope said. "Oh, and also…"

He chopped Ulrich on the neck, making him faint.

"That'll keep him from spreading the juicy stuff." Hope said.

"Uh, you realize Odd's the loudmouth right and he just left." Sonia said.

"Whoops…" Hope said.

Minutes later, Jim was running away from crazed fan girls.

"Get away! I don't know any Chris! I never even met the guy! Noo!" Jim shouted.

After that, they were in the gym with a guy with white hair on stage, which was Chris.

"You sure adapted to Hope's mistake and the other stuff quick." Franky said.

"I hid in the Janitor's closet till they ran by. Oh and when you see him, tell him he bought himself a week's detention." Jim said.

"My dear chris, I must say what an honor it is to have you here at Kadic academy." Delmas said as Chris walked up with girls screaming at him.

"Thank you all for coming. I love this enthusiasm. As most of you already know, I came to visit my uncle. But there's another reason. My band is doing a school tour to discover new talent and one of the ways of doing this is auditioning some of you and one of your lucky students will get to be the opening act for our next show!" Chris said.

"Huh. Scratch the weeks detention, he actually did me a favor." Jim said as Hope gave a thumbs up.

"Thanks to the authorization of your principal, we will be holding auditions this afternoon in your gymnasium." Chris said as the students screamed louder.

Later…

"So jim put me off the hook. And I'm really sorry, i was aiming for Odd, not you Ulrich." Hope said.

"Still isn't an excuse man." Ulrich said as Odd ran by them and into his own room.

"Come on. Where is it? Where is it?" Odd said frantically searching. "I know I put it away."

"Wait, you made a mix for this too?" Lucy asked.

"Of course I did! This is my chance for fame. I just need to find my demo." Odd said.

"Maybe Kiwi has it?" Hope asked.

"He's right. You did put it away. In Kiwi's drawer." Yumi said pulling it out.

"Yes! Perfect! That's my little diggidy dog!" Odd said before running out.

Meanwhile in the forest…

"Come on. I have to find it." Flux said going on his computer.

"Sir, you haven't slept in days. What are you even looking for?" Ian asked.

"My fathers research notes." Flux said.

"But where would they even be, the Hermitage?" Ian asked.

"No. I searched it already. They weren't there." Flux said.

"What would your old man have that's so worth your time?"

"That's for me to know and you not to. Just go back to work." Flux said. "Damn. Out of microchips. I need to get to some more so I can process some more data. I'll just swipe them off the school." Flux said walking out of the room.

"He's running himself ragged with this. If he doesn't take a break, he's gonna collapse." Ian said.

"Im perfectly good, Ian. Stop being so...clue..less…" Flux drowsily as he fell to the ground asleep.

"Haaa. I'm putting you to bed." Ian said carrying him off.

Back at the school…

"So youre good with not auditioning to Chris, Ibuki?" Yumi asked.

"Im already famous. And my Heavy tracks wont exactly fit with that type of music." Ibuki said.

"You seem to be all about Heavy Metal improvisation. Any particular reason why?" Ulrich asked.

"Just like it." Ibuki said.

"Good. Cause according to this, he only wants a DJ, not a rocker." Yumi said.

Hope was walking the halls before he saw Aelita sneak off.

"Hey. Wait, you have a mix? Awesome." Hope said.

"I was hoping to play it for chris, but Jeremie won't let me go on my own. So I'm sneaking off." Aelita said.

"Okay. But keep an eye out for XANA's tricks." Hope said.

"You and Jeremie." Aelita said groaning as she walked by him.

"I was only giving her a warning…" Hope said.

In the audition hall…

"Ow, my ears!" Franky said as Sissi played a loud track.

"Rotom, what's going on?" Sissi said with teeth clenched.

"Sorry, but like I said, I know nothing about music." Rotom said.

"Alright, thats enough. Next!" Chris said as they shut it off.

"Limo hit a flat, Sissi?" Odd said as they walked by her and Odd took the stage. "Hi, my names Odd Della Robbia and this is a little something a little experimental. As in pretty different. I'm sure you'll love it."

3 minutes later…

"And there you go." Odd said as most of them had stunned looks.

"What was THAT?!" Hope blurted out shocked.

"Oh you like it huh? Well I got lots of other tracks, you wanna hear them?" Odd asked.

"Stop him, please." Vector said. "He is a menace to the music community."

"Uh thank you, Odd. Next, please." Chris said before slumping down as Jim walked in.

"So how's the search going, Chris my boy?" Jim asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it, Uncle Jim." Chris said.

"Hard business, huh?" Franky asked.

"Yeah, it is." Chris said walking outside with them following.

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find it." Hope said.

"Its not that simple. Its this huge promotional operation. If I don't find some new talent, the record companies are gonna come down on me like a ton of bricks. They already made us change our name." Chris said.

'Don't worry, Chris my boy. I'm sure you'll find a kid with lots of talent." Jim said.

Suddenly they heard a good track come up.

"Is that…?" Hope asked wondering if it was Aelita's mix.

"Hey. That track. Its perfect. Its what I've been looking for." Chris said.

As they walked in, Aelita wasnt there, but purple smoke coursed out of the dj set.

"Oh no. I'm too late." Chris said as he ran out of the gym.

The smoke became a liquid state as it formed into something…

Hope was doing a jod when his comm beeped.

"Yeah?" Hope asked.

"Its Jeremie. I just picked up another activated tower." Jeremie said.

"I'll warn Jexi." Hope said before his comm shorted out. "Ow! What the?" he said before seeing a spectre in the shape of Chris. "Oh great…"

Hope dashed off as the specter ignored him, noticing his true target as Aelita came up.

"There you are chris, Ive been looking for...aaaah!" Aelita screamed as the specter knocked her out as he took her and walked off toward the Factory.

"By the time I warn the others, she'll already be to Lyoko. No other way." Hope said activating a voice control on his wrist. "Prep Protocol: Smoked but Tender."

A fire ignited in the ship as back there, Hope ran to the group.

"Whats up?" Ulrich asked.

"Short version, a specter has Aelita and is heading to the factory. Got a measure to get some back up." Hope said.

"Alright. Yumi, youre coming to the factory with me. Odd, Ulrich, try and see if you can still find the specter on campus." Jeremie said.

"We're on it." they said.

The specter had soon arrived at the factory and placed her into the scanner before it vanished. It was just then that Jeremie and Yumi arrived.

"No, we're too late!" Jeremie said. "Yumi, time to head down to the scanners."

"Yohoho. Room for one more?" Brook asked as he waited in the elevator.

Brook and Yumi went into the scanners as it sent them both in with Brook's outfit themed after a giraffe.

"I gotta say, sort of liked the swallow better." Brook said.

"Sorry Brook. I was trying to figure out the best way to configure all the data." Jeremie said. "But where is the other person Hope wanted?"

"Afraid she was going a bit too wild…" Brook said.

On Hope's ship, Akane was sleeping peacefully.

"So she's going down for a bit of a nap." Brook added.

"Dont worry. Next time I bet." Yumi said. "Heads up, theres William."

Willam already had Aelita cornered with two crabs.

"Energy field!" she shouted shooting one out as willam blocked it, clouding her up with smoke before Yumi intervien with her fans, catching them.

"You might be on XANA's side now, but you're still a newbie on Lyoko." Yumi said.

"Attack!" William shouted.

The crabs opened fire a s Yumi dodged and brook deflected with his cane sword. After a bit, Willam noticed Aelita getting away.

"Follow her." William said as the two crabs diverted their attention to Aelita and took after her as fast as their legs could carry leaving William to deal with the two.

"Up for a double date, Willam?" Yumi said getting her fans ready.

"Though, as you are now, i doubt her attention should be focused on dating someone with an anger problem and so uncouth at that." Brook said as William charged and attacked Yumi.

Yumi tossed her fans and easily made willam block, having Yumis chance to leap on to his back and push him from behind into brooks line of fire.

"Gavotte bon en Avant!" Brook said thrusting at Willam, who barely had enough time to block its full power.

Meanwhile, Jeremie was ambushed by the Spetere as Odd, Ulrich, Hope, Jim, Chris and Franky arrived to see the action.

"What is that, a stunt double?" Chris asked.

"A polymorphic specter." Ulrich said.

"Well hes not getting my auto…" Chris began before the specter tossed him aside before turning its attention to the others.

Ulrichj signaled Franky to get to the scanner room.

"Jim, Im gonna get more help, keep that thing busy!" Franky said getting back into the elevator.

"You got it. Gonna show this guy a thing or two." Jim said doing fisticuffs.

"Ive got you, Franky." Hope said cracking his hands and readying frankys data.

"Let me." Jeremie said getting up.

"You recover fast." Hope said.

"I'll get Franky in first, Jims too distracted to notice. Transfer, Franky. Scanner, Franky. Virtualization!" Jeremie said.

As aelita was being chased by the crabs, Franky materialized above them all.

"SUPER entrance in the nick of time!" Franky said still in a rhino themed costume. "And nice to keep the super look!"

He slammed down onto one of the crabs and readied his cannon.

"Say good night, crabby. Weapons Left!" he said blasting it and destroying it almost instantly.

"Thanks franky. It's really been awhile since you were here." Odd said.

"Its good ta be here!" Franky said as Ulrich and Odd landed next.

"But Im sure these crab cakes have missed us the most!" Odd said firing two arrows into it and jumping of. He then alley ooped Ulrich onto the other one, landing and drawing his sword.

"Impact!" he shouted slaying the crab with a single slash. "You can have the last one. Super Sprint!"

Ulrich activated his dash skill and ran ahead.

"RIght behind ya, buddy." Franky said. "I actually made some mods of my own to the system without Jeremie looking. New vehicle programs."

"Huh?" Jeremie asked.

"Just program that motorbike with the Black Rhino motif." Franky said as Jeremie did so pulling up a large black motorcycle with a horn on front. "Yeah! The Overcycle!"

"I dont belive it, how did you manage this?" Jeremie asked.

"I figured Id do something in my time off Lyoko." Franky said revving after Ulrich.

Back with Yumi and Brook, Willam had backed Yumi into a corner, and with one swing, devirtualized her. Ulrich and Franky arrived at that moment.

"If you're trying to get a date with Yumi, Im not so sure that' the right way." Ulrich said drawing his swords.

"Yeah, why dont you give him some pointers, since youre her admirer too." Brook said as he screamed as he dodged William's attacks.

"I got your back, bone buddy!" Franky said opening a compartment on his shoulders. "Block this! Franky...Rocket Launcher!"

A triad of RPGs launched to william. He simply cut through each one with a cocky smirk on his face.

"Okay, you blocked it." Franky said as Ulrich charged in and began battling with William sword to swords.

Back out in reality, hope actually fared good against the specter, but Chris and Jim had trouble depicting the specter as if morphed between Chris and Jim.

"Hah! You might have the edge over those guys, but I'm in a whole nother league." Hope said.

Specter then morphed and shifted into an exact copy of Hope as it got into a fighting stance.

"Okay, thats just cheat..oh!" Hope siad being talcked to the ground.

"Quick chris, get him!" Jim said.

"Theyre both the same, which one do i hit?" Chris asked.

"Ow! The one whos obviously winning!" Hope said.

"Got it!" Chris said swinging a pipe as it hit Hope.

"Not me." Hope said "But at least you had some confidence in me." he added before passing out.

"Uh oh." Jim said as the specter smirked.

Back on Lyoko, Aelita had soon reached the tower and entered it and deactivated it.

The specter soon vanished as soon as this happened.

"Whoa. All right Belpois, you got some things to explain." Jim said.

"I would like to Jim, but I'm honestly tired of constantly explaining it to you." Jeremie said programming the RTTP.

"Wait, at least tell me who Aelita is." Chris said.

"Return to the Past now." Jeremie said issuing the time restart.

Time then restarted around the time of the auditions.

"Okay. I think I got what I needed to fix on my demo. Just needed more scratches and beat boxes." Odd said. "You'll see, I'm gonna do amazing this time."

"Nah." Hope said. "Chris already got the one he wanted."

"Huh?" Odd said.

"You slipped him Aelita's demo, didn't you?" Ibuki asked.

"Found it, took it, gave it, he loved it." Hope said. "I think hes on his way to see her right now. Sorry Odd, but it looks like…" Hope put on dark shades. "...you couldnt face the music."

Guitar riffs played as a loud shout was heard.

"Oh, damn! I havent heard that meme in a long time!" Ibuki said.

"Aw well, always next time. But, you wanna hear my remix anyway?" Odd asked.

"No!" everyone said.
