"Oops," groaned Odd, " I hope Jeremie doesn't mind that I spilled candy on the keyboard again. Hey, wait a minute, where is Jeremie?" he thought to himself. "Oh, wait, he's probably in the party room." Odd walked back into the party room. Jeremie wasn't there.

"Hey, has anyone seen Jeremie?" Odd asked.

"I thought he was with you," Yumi yelled over the sound of the music.

"Nuh-uh!" remarked Odd.

"We'd better look for him," wailed Ulrich.

They walked into the computer room. Jeremie wasn't at the computer. They looked in corners, at the ceiling, and even in the portals to Lyoko. Jeremie wasn't in any of those places.

"Maybe he's in Lyoko," suggested Yumi. "Maybe XANA isn't really deleted, and he put Jeremie under his control!"

"Oh, no!" cried Odd. "We have to save him!"

They looked at the computer screen. There was a map of the 5th sector in Lyoko. On the map, there were two tiny arrows. Yumi clicked on one of the arrows. It was Aelita. She clicked on the other arrow. It was XANA!

"Oh no," whispered Ulrich.

"We have to save her!" cried Yumi.

The program for going to Lyoko was already on voice activation, so they went into the portals.

"Transfer! Odd!" Odd stated.

"Transfer! Yumi!" Yumi told the program.

"Transfer! Ulrich!" Ulrich cried.

"Scanner! Odd!" Odd thought aloud.

"Scanner! Yumi!" Yumi reminisced.

"Scanner! Ulrich!" Ulrich patiently explained.

"Virtualization!" they concluded together.

They landed in the forest sector. Then they remembered that Jeremie wasn't at the computer to type in the code to go to the 5th sector.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeremie was angry. Very angry. XANA had Aelita. XANA had gotten his way.

"Well," Jeremie thought, "I'm going to save Aelita. No matter what it takes."

Jeremie tried to teleport back to the 5th sector. "Teleport!" he yelled, and to his surprise, he teleported right back into the 5th sector! XANA and Aelita were sitting right in front of him, their backs turned. Aelita didn't have the shield around her anymore.

"I was just thinking, Aelita," XANA proclaimed, "How come I have super powers and you don't?"

"Well," sighed Aelita, "Actually, I do. I can walk through walls."

"Oh yeah," XANA remembered aloud, "I forgot."

"Hold it right there!" Jeremie yelled.

XANA jumped up and turned to face Jeremie, taking out his gun. He looked surprised. "I thought you were gone," he stated.

"Not anymore, XANA," Jeremie cried. "And Aelita's coming with me!" Jeremie ran toward Aelita. XANA put a force field around Aelita again.

Jeremie ran into it. "Oof!" he growled.

"I thought you would come to your senses," remarked XANA. "But if you must fight me, I am ready to defend myself and Aelita as long as I need to!"

"That's a lie, XANA!" Jeremie shouted. "You're not defending Aelita! You're holding her prisoner!"

"No, he isn't!" cried Aelita. "You don't understand!"

"No, Aelita," explained Jeremie. "You're the one who doesn't understand. I'm trying to save you. I want to protect you from XANA." Jeremie turned and faced XANA. He took out his bowstaff and charged at him.

There was another fight. XANA took out his bowstaff and they fought. They kept blocking each other's moves. Then all of the sudden Jeremie's bowstaff hit XANA!

XANA's force field around Aelita disappeared for an instant. In that instant, Jeremie grabbed Aelita and yelled, "Teleport!"

"No!" cried XANA.

"No! XA-" cried Aelita. And then they were gone.
