Aelita was packing some shirts into a small bag, when he came to her door. William was standing here just looking at her. She didn't even look at him at first, and then said, "Look, William, I don't want to talk about Xana, so just leave. Chris is coming to get me in an hour, and then I leave, so just go."

"You're not going anywhere, Aelita," William said her name, in the Xana possessed voice, the voice Aelita feared so much and had nightmares about at times.

Aelita's eyes widened, and she saw the Xana symbol flash in his eyes.

"No," She tried to say it calmly, but there was fear in her voice, "No, we killed you. My father died to get rid of you."

"You can never get rid of Xana, when will you understand that, Aelita." William started to walk towards her. "No," Aelita shook her head, "No you can't get me this time!" She ran. William swiped to grab her, but she ducked under him and ran to the door. William grabbed the hood of the pull over she had on and she fell, knocking her head on the floor.

William picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder, and then opened the window of her room, and jumped out. He ran in the sewers with her still knocked out, over his shoulders, the eye of Xana flashing in his eyes.

He got to the factory, and jumped off the platform to the ground, he didn't even notice when Aelita's phone fell out of her pocket, hitting the floor hard, leaving a crack on the screen.

He took her to the super computer room, and typed in the code for the self-virtualization, for him and Aelita. He also typed in a second code, one that was never typed in before.

When he and Aelita were virtualized on Lyoko, in the forest sector, William used his black smoke to pick up Aelita and to carry her somewhere deep in to the heart of this sector.

Outside, something strange was happening. A huge circle was coming up from the super computer. Much like the return to the past, it did the same thing, went around the world, only difference was, this one wasn't white like the normal return to the past, it was black. Black like Xana's smoke. Which wasn't a good sign.

A week pasted, it was time for Kadic Academy to start up again. Kids coming back to the school, and reunite with friends they haven't seen in a week.

"Hey, Einstein!" Jeremy turned around to see Odd running up behind him.

"Hey, Della Robbia didn't miss me to much I hope," Jeremy grinned.

Odd laughed, "Someone got conceited over the break."

"Yup, turning into a smarter version of you," Jeremy laughed.

Odd shook his head, "Who are you and what have you done with the real Jeremy Belpois."

Jeremy just laughed, "Hey, I'm just in a good mood."

"Oh, yeah, you finally get to see your girlfriend today," Odd grinned, "What time is she coming back?"

Jeremy grinned, "She should have been back before us. I'll go check."

"Calm down, Einstein," Ulrich said, as he was walking up to his friends.

"Yeah, at least go unpack first," Odd said.

Jeremy groaned, "Fine, damn."

Odd and Ulrich were laughing as Jeremy stomped away to his dorm room.

Faster than lightening Jeremy packed away his clothes. Lastly he took out his drawing; the one Odd drew for him, on his birthday, in the 8th grade. He smiled as he remembered the moment when they all came in his room to wish him happy birthday. He placed the drawing on his desk, by his computers. He then left to go to Aelita's room.

"Aelita are you back?" He asked as he opened the door, and then froze in his tracks.

Her room was…. Empty. Not totally empty, like her bed was still there. But all of her stuff was gone. She was only gone for a week; she didn't need to take all over her things. Her computer, books, CD's and when Jeremy opened the closet, all her clothes were gone.

The weird thing was that the only there that was hers was Mr. Puck. And he was in the middle of the room, on the floor.

"What the hell is going on?" Jeremy thought out loud. He saw Sissi walking to her room, which was right across from Aelita's, so he went to talk to her. Her being the principles daughter, she should know what's going on.

"Sissi," Jeremy called to her as he came out of Aelita's room, "How come Aelita's room is empty? Did your father switch her room or something?"

Sissi looked confused, "Who's Aelita?"

Jeremy's eyes widened, "Aelita, Aelita Stones! The girl you hate, who you insult all the time!" He pointed to her room, "Who lives right there!"

Sissi gave Jeremy a weird look, "No one lives there. You know that room's empty."

"What?" Jeremy was completely confused.

Sissi rolled her eyes, "I thought you knew everything, I guess you and your friends always playing video games much be making you guys go insane." She then went into her room, and shut the door.

"Video games?" Jeremy thought to himself.

He went back to Aelita's room, and picked up Mr. Puck, "Looks like it's just me and you buddy." He started to leave her room, when something flashed; it was like a flash of something coming out from the outlets, maybe like something was coming out. Jeremy didn't make too much of it at first till he exited the room and realized what it meant, "No," he thought out loud, "It can't be," he shook his head and went to his room.

Jeremy went back to his room, with Mr. Puck. He didn't go out with his friends when they called to say they were going to the movies. He stayed in his room, calling Aelita's phone a thousand times. Only to get her voice mail each time. He went to get some dinner at one point but as soon as he saw the food he couldn't eat, he was thinking too much of Aelita. Yumi, Ulrich and Odd came just as Jeremy was about to leave.

"Jeremy you should of come see the movie, best one yet," Odd said as he sat next to Jeremy.

"It wasn't that scary," Yumi said.

Ulrich laughed, "Yeah, okay, is that why you screamed louder than the girl on screen being eaten alive!"

"I told you I saw a rat!" Yumi exclaimed

"Yeah, a rat that looks just like your shoe," Odd laughed.

Yumi gave him the death glare, "Listen, Odd, at least I didn't-"

"Aelita's not back yet, and she isn't answering my calls," Jeremy interrupted them, "I went to her room and everything was gone, except Mr. Puck. I asked Sissi about it and she had no idea who Aelita is. I'm getting worried. Like really worried."

They all stared at him, and said nothing for a while.

Yumi looked at him, "Jeremy, don't jump to conclusions, okay."

"Yeah," Ulrich agreed, "You know how Sissi likes to mess with us, and it's not a big difference she just chose to be more stupid."

"Plus, Delmas must of just switch Aelita's room, cause her old one's too small. And she's probably running late, that's why she isn't back yet," Odd added.

Jeremy sighed.

Yumi reached across the table and took his hand, "Look, I know you care about Aelita more than anything in the world. But you can't overreact okay?"

Jeremy looked in Yumi's eyes, "When I was leaving her room, I saw something flash, right out of one of the outlets. I've only seen something like that once in my life. And you guys know where."

"Einstein, I think you need a nice long nap," Odd said.

Jeremy glared at him, "Odd don't start. I know what I saw."

Jeremy stood up, "I'm going to the factory," he left.

The others followed him and caught up to him right as he was about to go into the sewers.

"Jeremy!" Ulrich yelled, "Are you insane?!"

"We destroyed Xana!" Odd exclaimed.

"You guys don't get it," Jeremy tried to explain, "I know what I saw. Aelita could be in a Xana trap. Please just let me check," he begged.

Odd and Ulrich were about to argue again when Yumi cut them off, "Let him go," her arms were crossed and she was looking a Jeremy, "He needs to see it for himself."

Jeremy smiled slightly at her, "Thanks for understanding, Yumi. But I know what I'll find."

He climbed down to the sewers, and began to walk, since his scooter wasn't there.

Ulrich looked at Yumi, "Why did you let him go? What happened to that girl who said we needed to let go and forget about Lyoko?"

"Obviously, she and Einstein lot their minds." Odd muttered.

Yumi gave Odd a look, "No, pee brain," she rolled her eyes, "You know how Jeremy is; he's stubborn as a mule. Just let him see for himself." Ulrich and Odd smiled.

"Okay," Ulrich nodded, "Tomorrow we'll see why's he's acting up."

Yumi nodded, "I'll see you guys tomorrow then," she smiled at Ulrich, "Bye, Ulrich."

Ulrich blushed, "Bye, Yumi."

She walked away with Ulrich gazing after her.

"Oh, Stern," Odd called him back to reality.

"Huh?"

Odd laughed and shook his head, "When are you going to ask her out?"

Ulrich grinned, "When you find a girlfriend who actual stays with you for more than a week."

Odd laughed, "Hey, miracles could happen."

"Idiot," Ulrich muttered and walked to his dorm with Odd following him laughing.

When Jeremy reached the factory the wind was blowing his hair back. He smiled as some memories rushed back to him, from the first day he came here, from when he shut off the super computer.

Something inside him died a little, as him walked closer to the factory. It was as if he was finally seeing an old friend, whom he hasn't seen in years.

Why did he want to come back here? He did see Xana's destruction.

I just needed a trip back in time, he thought to himself, just to calm down.

He slid down the rope slowly and quietly and when his feet hit the floor, his right foot stepped on something.

It was a cell phone, a pink cell phone.

Weird, he thought, I gave Aelita one just like this.

He picked it up and on the screen was a scratch.

When he turned it on, the first thing he saw was the screen saver, a picture of him and Aelita. And then there were all the missed calls from him.

"Oh no," he said out loud.

Jeremy ran to the elevator, which he had to wait for it to come up.

If the gang and I were the last ones here, then the elevator should have stayed up here, he thought as the elevator came up.

He went all the way down to where the super-calculator is.

It should have still been shut down, and under the floor, but it wasn't. It was up and on.

"Aelita!" Jeremy screamed, as he ran to the elevator again. He went straight up to the super computer. His earpiece was still there on the key board where he had left it.

He sat in the chair, "Aelita, Aelita? Are you there?"

He started typing in codes in to the computer and finally a screen popped up, with Aelita's face in it. She looked as if she was sleeping.

"AELITA!" He screamed in to his ear piece.

"Huh?" She woke up and looked around, "Wha- huh? Where am I?"

"You're on Lyoko, and would you mind telling me why?" Jeremy asked.

"What? I'm on Lyoko?"

"Yes! And I'm in the factory. Hold on, let me re-materialize you on earth so I could yell at you here."

Jeremy typed in the code for re-materialization, but somehow it wouldn't go through, Aelita's Lyoko card, on the screen, didn't show her life points going down. Jeremy's eyes widened.

"J-Jeremy?" Aelita asked, "Is there a problem?"

Jeremy's eyes widen at the screen, "N-no. I just typed it in wrong, that's it. I haven't done this in a while you know."

He typed in the code again, and it still wouldn't go through.

"Oh no," he said.

"Jeremy?" Aelita asked.

Jeremy had tears in his eyes, "Aelita, it… it won't go through." Tears were pouring down from his face, "Aelita, I can't materialize you."

Aelita gasped, as if the whole world has just been thrown at her face with no warning.

"What do you mean?" she asked nervously.

"I mean, something's not right! I'm positive I typed in the correct code, it-it just won't let me materialize you!"

"But why not?"

"I don't know!" Jeremy yelled. He was crying even harder now.

"What's going to happen?" Aelita asked.

"I don't know," Jeremy repeated, this time more quietly, "But I know one thing, there's no way I'm letting you stay on Lyoko." I worked too hard to get you out. All that work isn't going down the drain, he thought to himself.

Aelita smiled slightly.

"Okay, first I gotta know, what sector are you in?" Jeremy asked. He was trying not to sound harsh, but her reaction, he could tell he sounded like an ass.

"Look, Aelita" Jeremy said calmly, "I know you're scared, but we'll figure this out, and sorry if I'm sounding like an ass, I'm just really frustrated that this happened and I didn't come sooner."

"No, Jeremy it's not that," Aelita tried to explain, "But, Jeremy, I don't know what sector I'm in."

"What?" Jeremy asked, "How don't you know? It's easy, look around. Is it full of mountains or trees?"

"No, it has none of that," Aelita said nervously, "Jeremy, I think Xana made a new sector."

"WHAT?" Jeremy shouted. "Okay, sorry for yelling, but do you mean? Like he made a replika? Because I'm positive we destroyed them all."

"Just like you're positive we destroyed Xana?" Aelita countered.

Jeremy glared, "Ok, you win. What does this new sector look like?"

Aelita looked around her, "It's creepy. There's Lava everywhere."

"Lava? " Jeremy asked, "Don't you mean the digital sea?"

"No," Aelita said, "In fact, there is no digital sea. Just lava."

"Can you send me a visual?" He asked.

Aelita sent him a video of exactly what she was seeing.

It would have been a dark creepy place, if there was no lava, which was bright red and yellow. The ground was black, were some circles filled with lava. Where there are cutoffs of the ground there was just lava. And there were Volcanoes in the distance. There was absolutely no digital sea.

"Where the hell are you?" Jeremy asked.

"I don't know," Aelita said scared, "You think Xana was able to create a whole new sector?"

"I doubt it. That would require a whole lot of energy and I'm sure he doesn't have lot of that. What worries me is that if there's any new monster here." Jeremy's eyes widened, "Aelita go hide. Please, find a tower."

"Okay," Aelita said, "There's one right here," she said as she entered.

"Okay, now how did you get here anyway?" Jeremy asked.

"Aelita sighed, "I don't remember, all I know is that I was in my room, packing then, nothing."

Jeremy scratched his head, "Think it was a specter?"

"Maybe," Aelita said, "Look I don't think it's so important of how I got there, to how I'm getting out."

"Okay, I agree with that," Jeremy said.

"What do we do?" Aelita asked.

"We try to make a bunch of programs to get you out," Jeremy said, "And I don't care if it takes all night, I'm staying here and I'll get you out."

I'm tired of losing you, he thought to himself.
