Code Mystery
Chapter 3: The Rape Victim
One day, Jeremie was getting ready for the day when, suddenly, his phone started ringing.
"Hello?" answered Jeremie.
"Hey, Jeremie...It's me," said a man's voice.
"Dad? What's wrong?"
"I've got some bad news," his father said as he reveals shocking news. He gasped as his father hung up and he started crying. Ulrich walks in and sees tears running down his friend's face.
"Jeremie?" said Ulrich as he apporaches the crying boy and kneels to his eye level. Jeremie explains to him about the situation. He reveals to Ulrich that his father's brother, Robbie, was a serial child molester that loved to rape little boys and that he, himself, was his favorite victim. Ulrich was shocked by this as Jeremie started crying again, this time even harder, as he hoped to never have to tell his friends about it. Ulrich sees this and pulls the young braniac into a hug, letting him cry on his shoulder (A/N: He's still on one knee as Jeremie is still sitting in his chair).
"Shhhhh," said Ulrich, trying to get Jeremie to relax, "It's okay, I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you." Later on, the others walk in and see Jeremie crying.
"What's wrong, Einstein," Odd asked. Jeremie tries to speak but Ulrich stops him as he signals the others to come in. He explains the situation for Jeremie, the group is shocked that Jeremie never told them this before, but are symphetic due to it obviously being hard to reveal such a tragic event to your friends.
"Mr. Belpois, Ms. Stones, Mr. Della Robbia, Ms. Gauthrie, Mr. Stern, Ms. Ishiyama, and Mr. Dunbar," reported the intercom, "Come to the office, please!" With that, the Lyoko Warriors walked straight to Mr. Delmas' office with Ulrich still holding the younger boy in his arms. As soon as they walked in, they are notified by Mr. Delmas that they must leave the school in order to keep Jeremie safe. Agreeing to do so, they pack they're stuff and run out of the school. They decide to stay at Digital until the police locate Ronnie.
Later at Digital...
"Thanks for letting us stay here, Chase," said Aelita.
"No problem," Chase replied, "Anything to keep Jeremie safe from that child molester." Everyone's rooms were set Odd bunked in with William, Yumi with Aelita, and Ulrich, since he was the tallest and strongest, decided to bunk in with Jeremie to keep him safe. Although the while, William became overwhelmed by the smell of Odd's feet. Laura stayed in a room all to herself. Meanwhile, Robbie, was driving around the city looking for Jeremie, disguised as a salesman and waited outside the school to kidnap and rape his nephew.
Meanwhile, on Lyoko, a purple guardian showed up in the Mountain Sector along with an activated tower, but unlike the other towers, it glowed white, it was a Franz Hopper tower.
When morning came, Chase got a psychic message from Franz Hopper.
"Chase," says Franz, "Can you hear me?"
"Dr. Hopper," asked Chase, "Is that you?"
"Yes, Chase, listen you must send my daughter and her friends to the Mountain Sector, X.A.N.A. is planning an attack."
"I can't go to the factory," said Chase, as he explains the situation to Franz.
"What you have told me is very serious, but you must find another way."
"Okay, Dr. H, I'll think of something."
"Also, Chase, your friend is alive." Chase gasped when he heard this. With that, Franz ended the transmission, and Chase went to get the others. But unfortunately, X.A.N.A. had taken control of Franz's tower and sends a specter to Earth.
In the mean time, the Lyoko Warriors, except Jeremie and Ulrich, woke up and Chase informs them of Franz's message.
"We can't go out there, knowing that Jeremie's uncle is around," said Aelita.
"You realize that this might be just a trap to get Jeremie in the open so his uncle can get him," chimed Laura.
"But, what else can we do?" asked Odd.
"Well, I can't tell all of you what to do," said William, "But, I'm going."
"Well," Yumi started, "You're not going without me!"
"Or me," said Odd, Aelita, and Laura in unison.
"Okay, we better leave Jeremie out of this one," said Chase.
"Ulrich, too," Yumi chimed in, "There's no way he's going to leave Jeremie unprotected."
"Jeremie has always tried his best to keep me safe in the past," said Aelita, "So, now it's my turn to keep him safe."
With that, Chase led the Lyoko Warriors to the factory down a secret passage way. Meanwhile, Ulrich and Jeremie woke up and Ulrich read a text on his phone from Yumi, explaining the situation. Jeremie tried to get up, but Ulrich stopped him, reminding him of his uncle wandering the streets looking for him.
"I just wish I could protect Aelita," said Jeremie, Ulrich, then, pulled Jeremie into his lap.
"Jeremie, you're the youngest of this group," said Ulrich, "So, it's our job to protect you. And besides, Aelita feels the same way about you, just like I always did."
Jeremie smiles at the comment and the two boys hug again, with Ulrich rubbing his back.
Meanwhile, at the factory, the others begin a scan on town to find that X.A.N.A. had possessed Jeremie's rapist uncle and he is on his way to the Digital to get Jeremie. William goes to warn Ulrich and Jeremie while the others go to Lyoko.
"Alright, guys. Get ready, I'll start the procedure," said Laura, "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Odd, Transfer Aelita! Scanner Yumi, Scanner Odd, Scanner Aelita! Virturalization!"
Odd and the girls, then, landed in the Mountain Sector and Chase lands right behind them and they encountered by Franz Hopper himself.
"Dad?" asked Aelita.
"Yes, Aelita," said Franz, "It's me. I'm alive." Aelita was overjoyed and hugs her father.
"So, where's Perry," asked Odd.
"This way, follow me." The Lyoko Warriors and Chase followed Franz to the purple guardian and revealed Chase inside of it.
"Perry!" Chase exclaimed, running towards the Guardian, "What has X.A.N.A. done to you?!"
"Don't worry," Chase," said Franz, "He's alive, but he's out cold."
"X.A.N.A. will pay for this!"
"Guys, William, Ulrich, and Jeremie are with me," said Laura, "I'm sending them in now!"
With that, William, Ulrich, and Jeremie landed right next to Franz.
"Thank goodness you are safe, dear child," Franz told Jeremie.
"Thanks," said Jeremie.
"So, how do we free him," asked William. Jeremie had an idea, he suggested that they all do a power convergence to free him. With that, they combined their powers.
"Power of Water," cried William.
"Power of Nature," cried Yumi.
"Power of the Shining Sun," cried Ulrich.
"Power of Music," cried Odd.
"Power of Technology," cried Aelita.
"Power of the Dragon's Flame," cried Jeremie, as Chase grabbed his hand.
"Power of Electricity," cried Chase, as they all glowed their respective colors - William glowed aquamarine, Yumi forest green, Ulrich yellow, Odd purple, Aelita green, Jeremie red, and Chase blue, and with all of their powers combined they destroyed the Guardian and Perry was freed, but comatose.
"Let's take him to an inactive tower," said Aelita. She, Jeremie, and Chase carried Perry to a way tower and he regained his life points, while Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, and William raced towards the tower.
"As soon as they reached the tower, William was shot and devirtualized and not a moment too soon as Robbie made his way towards the factory and tried to attack Laura. William fought him back used his powers to conjure up a rain storm, but instead water formed around Ronnie forming a type of cage, showing that he could also use Morphix, like Aisha.
"Cool," said William as he turned the morphix into a solid. Meanwhile on Lyoko, the others were dealing with Hornets. Yumi threw her fans at the Hornets, but they missed, so she used her telekinetic powers to slice of their wings, making them crawl on the ground so Ulrich and Odd could attack. When they were done with the Hornets, the three warriors played rock-paper-sissors to see who gets in the tower. Ulrich loses as he chose paper, while Yumi and Odd chose sissors. So, Ulrich enters the tower and levitates to the second platform. He places his hand on the screen.

He types in the last part
LYOKO
The tower deactivates and Perry wakes up regaining his life points. He looks around surprised to see so many friendly faces and one that he can recognize.
"Chase," asked Perry as he got up and approached his shorter friend, "Is that you?"
"Yeah, Perry," said Chase, "It's me." The two smile at each other and hug, while in the meantime, Laura does a return to the past.
Perry is materialized out of Lyoko and is surprised to see that his body hasn't aged although he is supposed to be about the age of a young adult by now. They others are surprised to see that he is Odd's height.
Later on, at Kadic, Chase and Perry, now dressed in a brand new set of clothes, confronted Robbie Belpois. Perry now wore a tracksuit identical to Chase's but it was periwinkle and silver, and he had a white trenchcoat over his. Anyway, they scared Robbie off with their powers and straight into the policemens grasps (Jeremie called 911), with Robbie back behind bars and far away from France it was safe for the Lyoko Warriors to return to school.
"Hey, Aelita," said Jeremie, "Thanks for helping keep me safe."
"You are the youngest," said Aelita, "And it's just a repayment for you always trying to protect me, Proxy-Pie." Jeremie blushed at the sound of that name and the two hugged, they let go shortly after and Aelita went with Yumi and Laura, while Jeremie went with Odd, Ulrich, and William.
