A noise of a vehicle could be heard as a boy yelled in joy.
"Yahoo!" He flew on his OverBoard as he tried to get pass his two friends. Two boys; one on an OverBike, the other on an OverScooter.
"Hey Odd catch up to us if you can!" The boy exclaims with a laugh. Just then, a girl zoomed up to the boys in her OverDrive. A vehicle shaped like a bed and a go cart combined.
"We'll see about that Peter," The girl taunted. "Don't leave this girl out of your fun."
"You are so on, Cassidy! We'll see who wins, right, Ulrich?" Peter questioned.
"Yeah, we'll see." Ulrich smirked as he thrust his OverBike to go faster.
"You really did a great job, Jeremy. Xana better behave himself now that we got these things," Odd declared.
"Whoa! Ha-ha!" Odd exclaimed with a laugh as he continued on riding his overboard.
In the lab
"Be careful all the same." Jeremy warned.
Back on Lyoko
"Don't worry, Einstein. I know how to ride. No way am I going to let Ulrich, Peter, and Cassidy beat me," Odd claimed.
"We'll see about that," Peter taunted.
"Hey, it's just the thrill of the sport, that's what makes it fun!" Cassidy protested.
"Wahoo!" Odd exclaimed as he got next to Ulrich. Peter was a head of the two friends as Cassidy were behind Ulrich and Odd.
"Oh, no, you don't," Ulrich exclaimed as he thrust his bike to go faster. Cassidy pressed a silver button to make her OverDrive go faster. Peter pressed a red button on his OverScooter as fire came out on the two engines In the back. This made the scooter to faster. The four riders got into a rock platform. Ulrich was first as Odd was next to him. Cassidy was behind them as Peter was now last. Odd glided over to one side of the platform as he then glided onto the other side of the platform. Odd made his OverBoard go faster as he was now in front of Ulrich, Cassidy, and Peter.
"Ha ha!" Odd exclaimed with his hands out. Ulrich smirked as Peter mumbled a curse under his breath. Cassidy scoffed.
In the lab
"Odd, I didn't have time to perfect the program that calculates trajectory," Jeremy warned.
Back on Lyoko
"Odd be careful!" Cassidy exclaimed with worry. The four riders got out of the platform as Odd made his overboard go faster on a slope of a giant rock. Odd got his OverBoard over the rock as he then saw a bigger rock. Odd drive into it as he jumped and landed on the ground with both of his hands, as if he were a cat. Ulrich, Cassidy, and Peter jumped over the same platform perfectly. Ulrich cackled as Peter sighed in annoyance.
"Odd!" Yumi exclaimed as she and Aelita drove toward him on her OverWing. Patricia and Jade followed them as Patricia was on her periwinkle OverBike and Jade was on her green OverWing. Aelita hoped off Yumi's OverWing as she put her shoulder over him and asked with concern.
"Are you okay?"
Odd dusted himself off "Oh yeah. There's still some work to do on the OverBoard, Jeremy."
In the lab
"Maybe it's the rider who needs the work," Jeremy protested.
Back on Lyoko
"You really had me worried, Odd Della Robbia!" Patricia said.
"What happened, Odd? You miss a step?" Ulrich laughed tauntingly.
"We tried to warn you," Peter sighed.
"You should have at least listened Odd," Cassidy agreed.
"Very funny I'd like to see you on an OverBoard Ulrich." Odd told him.
"I guess surfing's not my thing," Ulrich made a wave sign with his hand.
"I think Ulrich would be very imbalanced, Odd," Cassidy interjected.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt your fascinating conversation, but it looks like Xana has spotted you," Jeremy informed the group.
In the lab
Jeremy looked at the monitor.
"There's something your way," He then looked at the monitor again and started typing at the keyboard in confusion. "That's really weird. I—I can't tell what it is."
Back on Lyoko
"Hey what's that?" Yumi pointed over to two giant spider-gorilla-like creatures. Patricia groaned a little in pain.
"Patricia?" Peter looked over to his younger sister in worry.
"My head! It-it hurts!" Patricia clutched her head.
"Patricia calm down please." Cassidy and Jade pleaded. Patricia gasped as she then was mysteriously devirtualized.
"Patricia was just devirtualized, Jeremy," Aelita informed.
"From what I can tell, something happened to her, but, physically, she is okay. By the way, those monsters seem to have more life points than the others," Jeremy informed them.
The monsters clunked to the others as they all gasped.
In the scanner room
What happened...? Patricia thought as she tried to make her way toward the elevator.
Back on Lyoko
"Jeremy how about reprogramming out vehicles?" Yumi asked in worry.
"I'm on it already, but it's going to take time." Jeremy told them.
Aelita and Peter raced away to the way tower.
"On my signal." Ulrich said.
"I'll go first." Yumi chimed in.
"I'm gonna keep it busy." Odd, Cassidy, and Jade chimed in unison.
"Now!" Ulrich exclaimed as he took out his sword.
One of the spider like creatures started shooting at Ulrich as he blocked the comic lasers with his sword. The other tarantula starred to fire at Cassidy and jade but Jade used her green shield to block the attacks. Yumi did a cart wheel as she jumped over the tarantula Ulrich was fending himself off of.
"Whatever these monsters are I've never seen them before, Xana must have just created them." Aelita told Peter who nodded. Yumi did a backflip as she took out her fan. She threw it at the Tarantula as it fired at the fan.
Cassidy changed her tube into a halo ring. She threw the halo ring at the tarantula that was still firing at Jade who was still fending it off with her shield. The ring missed the Tarantula's head by a few inches.
"Oh, heavens above! To think I had it," Cassidy said in disbelief.
In the lab
"Aelita, Peter there is a deactivated tower not far away from you two. Direction north by north west. Get out of there. Come and me meet me but hurry up." Jeremy informed them as he looked at Patricia with concern.
"Patricia is here in the lab, Peter, but she's worn out."
Back on Lyoko
"Hey, you overgrown spider, looking for me?" Odd taunted.
"Cassidy, my shield isn't going to hold—" Jade tried to warn her but the monster blasted the shield as Jade got devirtualized.
"Oh no!" Cassidy gasped. The other tarantula readied the laser as odd jumped out of the way and onto a rock. Odd climbed up the rock as the tarantula started firing at him. Cassidy turned her tube into a gold Halo ring again as she tried to throw it at the tarantula. The tarantula fired its lasers at Cassidy's hand as the Halo-like ring dropped and turned back into a tube. "AY!"
"Great." Cassidy mumbled. The tarantula continued to fire at Odd who was on a giant rock. The tarantula fired at the rock as Odd jumped off but the tarantula fired at Odd in the chest and he dropped to the ground.
In the lab
Odd's chest was blinking red, and the computer was making noise.
"Odd you just lost twenty life points. It's got a powerful laser." Jeremy informed.
"Tell me about it." Jade commented as she rubbed her stomach in pain. She sat down next to Patricia who was resting from the devirtualization.
Back on Lyoko
"What does it take to destroy these things?" Odd questioned.
"A lot of power," Cassidy ducked as she managed to get her gun. "And brains."
Aelita and Peter continued on running toward the tower. Ulrich faced the tarantula as it started to fire him. Ulrich blocked the laser as he looked at Aelita and Peter.
"Eh?"
The tarantula took advantage of this as it shot Ulrich and devirtualized him. Cassidy changed her tube into a bazooka and fired it the tarantula. The rocket made impact with the tarantula as it exploded.
In the lab
"Vehicles are ready." Jeremy informed them.
"Well, it's about time." Odd commented.
"Come on I'm doing my best!" Jeremy defended.
Back on Lyoko
Yumi did a cart wheel to her OverWing as Cassidy ran and hopped onto Jade's green OverWing.
"Let me go first," Odd told them who was already on his OverBoard.
Cassidy and Yumi nodded. "Go on we'll be watching you." Yumi told him. Odd flew around on his OverBoard. He dodged the lasers and spun around.
"Laser arrows!" He shouted. Aelita and Peter continued running to the tower. Odd went over the gorilla-spider-like monster as they went in the tower. "This thing is really unbeatable."
"Need a hand?" Yumi and Cassidy asked. The tarantula charged up its lasers as it fired at all three of them. It devirtualized their vehicles as Yumi, and Cassidy fell. Yumi tried to attack the Tarantula, but it shot at her and she devirtualized.
"Come on, guys. No one lasts..." Cassidy said racing toward the Tarantula as it fired its lasers at the group. The lasers hit her as she was devirtualized.
In the scanner room
"…para siempre."
Back on Lyoko
Odd drive toward the tarantula and shouted laser arrows but the tarantula shot him off his OverBoard, causing him to be devirtualized. The tarantula put his lasers down and growled in victory.
In the lab
"If Xana is going to program more monsters, it means our troubles, guys, have only just begun," Jeremy figured.
"Anyway Einstein, one thing is sure. You're going to have to program our vehicles faster. Otherwise, we don't stand against those Tarantulas," Odd grabbed his wrist and wiggled the other hand.
"Your aunt—what?" Yumi questioned.
"Tarantulas, the new monsters. I like to give my enemies a name," he told her.
"What worries me the most is that our friend Xana has obviously found a way to increase his power," Jeremy said.
"Great," Jade groaned.
"Tell me about it," Cassidy commented.
"What's also weird is that the Xana we knew of in our world was less powerful than this one here. Somehow he managed to create two tarantulas in this world, while in our world he only managed to create one." Patricia noted.
"This world?" Peter questioned with a puzzled look. "Our world?"
"Do you think he's still evolving?" Ulrich questioned.
"Maybe so, in any case for now on we have to be ready for anything and everything," Jeremy answered.
"Jeremy, let's say we've known you for as long time back in our world and but that when we were friends in our world, it still doesn't even make any sense to me when you say that," Cassidy quirked a brow.
Aelita got up. Her hair changed color to a much lighter pink, and she had taken on a new outfit. Here outfit consists of a light and dark pink jacket with little fluffy balls attached to it with a string. It was thanks to a premeditated shopping trip that she had the new clothes. Cassidy didn't join, being a tomboy, but the other girls meditated it.
"Maybe I better get back to Lyoko. If Xana activates a tower, I'd better be there." Aelita told them as she neared the keyboard.
"Uh, should we tell her?" Jeremy asked.
Aelita looked behind her.
"Of course we should tell her. Why keep good news like that a secret?" Yumi replied.
"Heck yes, we should definitely tell!" Cassidy exclaimed cheerfully. She was jumping up and down like a ditz.
"Keep what a secret? Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Aelita asked.
"Over the past few weeks, I've spent all of my time developing the vehicles and anti-virus and anti-non-virus to free you and Peter from Xana. I also perfected a whole new program for detecting towers." Jeremy replied.
"A super scanner, much more accurate than the old one," Odd smiled slyly.
"Much faster too," Jade noted.
"With instant detection, like Jade said much faster. Meaning you don't have to stay on Lyoko all of the time." Jeremy smiled.
"So I'm gonna live." Aelita trailed off with a smile.
"Here, with us," Ulrich and Peter chorused.
"We've already enrolled you into the school as a boarder," Patricia said.
Yumi walked up to Aelita and touched her chin. "Everything's all set; up we wanted to surprise you. Cassidy had a hard time keeping it a secret, but we managed to talk to her into it," Yumi smiled as she put her arm around Aelita's.
"Yeah, it was tough to hold it in, but worth it as I'm good with secrets," Cassidy smiled too as she joined Yumi.
"But—I—this is so wonderful, I can't believe it."
In the girl's hallway
"And this is your new room. You'll be rooming with Miss Cassidy Hertz and Miss Kaitlyn Belpois. It's not very big, but there's room for three. I'm sure you'll like it here Miss um…" Jim trailed off.
"Stones. Aelita Stones. like the rock group. I'm Odd's cousin from Canada." Aelita told him.
"Ah. So Aelita, breakfast starts at 7:00AM and dinner is at 7:00PM. It's against the rules to be in your room between 8:00AM and 4:30PM. You can ask your friends Della Robbia, Stern, Belpois, Belpois, Hertz, Chardin, my nephew Peter, and my niece Patricia to fill you in on the rest of the rules." Jim said as he turned to them who had smiles on their face. "That is if they can all remember them."
Jim walked out of the room. Jeremy, Ulrich, Odd, and Peter smiled.
Outside by the arches
"I don't want to hear another word about the school newspaper. This excursion is for eighth and ninth graders only. Is that clear?" Mrs. Hertz told Milly and Tamiya.
"Oh…" Tamiya groaned as she closed the camera.
"Oh, rats," Milly said holding a microphone above her head with headphones on, walking away.
Kiwi was rustling about in Odd's bag. "Kiwi! Stop wiggling around. Five more minutes, and you can run around all you want to."
"Isn't having a pet at school against the rules?" Kaitlyn questioned. "Don't mind me I won't say anything, I love dogs. I just don't want you to be caught."
"Thanks, Kaitlyn, and yeah dogs are not allowed in school," Odd replied.
"Hey! Is everything okay, Aelita and Cassidy? Are you settled in, Aelita?" Jeremy worried.
"Einstein, relax. Anything in my room goes wrong and no one is around but me, I can help soothe her down. I've seen…medical shows about that," Cassidy lied when Odd gave her a look that said, "Too far." "And Kaitlyn can help me, too."
Kaitlyn ruffled Cassidy's hair. "Darned straight."
"Yes I am, and I love our room and I do love the concept of having a roommate. Hey what's this field trip everybody's talking about?" Aelita asked.
"We're going to make a biodiversity scrap book. Ms. Hertz wants us to take pictures to draw plants, and flowers. That kind of thing, you and I have been paired up to work together," Jeremy replied with a smile.
"That reminds me, I'm gonna be with you two, too. Mrs. Hertz said it was okay," Kaitlyn said.
"Ah that's fine," Jeremy said.
"Mom is the best," Cassidy smiled.
"Has anyone seen Ulrich?" Odd asked.
"And what about Peter?" Cassidy asked.
"They are under the arches. I think Ulrich is waiting for Yumi, and Peter is waiting for Jade," Aelita replied.
Under the arches
Peter was waiting for Jade like Aelita said, but he still had a puzzled look on his face. Whatever Jade has in mind to help me get my memory back, I just hope it works. Peter thought.
With Ulrich
"Okay Yumi, I know we've been going out for a while now." Ulrich muttered under his breath. "That doesn't sound right." He paced the area as he thought aloud. "Yumi there's something serious you and I have to talk about. No she'll freak out if I say that, I can't go about ruining our relationship," Ulrich said as he paced again. "Yumi, you and I have to—" He turned around seeing Yumi standing in front of him. "Yumi, I have something to tell you."
"Yes what is it?" Yumi asked raising an eyebrow.
With Peter
Peter could see Jade running up to him, as she had a red object in her hands.
"What's that?" Peter asked pointing to the red object.
"It's your journal; hopefully it'll trigger some memories. Don't worry I didn't look in it, I promise," Jade replied as she gave the journal to Peter.
Patricia came up to Peter. "Hey Goob…"
"What's up?" Peter asked.
"Hey, Patricia, Mrs. Hertz said it was okay. We can work together on the field trip," William said.
"That's great, William. Have you met my older brother, Peter?" Patricia asked.
William looked at Peter. "Huh, you're Peter Morales. Patricia mentioned you a lot. Are you ready to go, Patricia?"
"Give me a sec." Patricia replied. "May I, big brother?" She asked putting on her best puppy dog eyes she has yet.
For some reason deep down inside his heart, Peter felt something. "Fine. Go on, just be careful sis." Peter replied.
"Thanks!" Patricia exclaimed giving Peter a hug then going with William.
"Hey what are you two doing? Everyone's leaving. We have to get back by six." Odd said.
"Who is that guy?" Peter asked.
"Oh who him? That's William, he's a new guy. He got kicked out of his last school, he's totally cool." Odd replied as he walked by him.
Peter looked unsure.
On the streets in town
"Did you know that trees grow new branches for one year to the next according to an expenotial ratio of 1.6?" Jeremy asked Aelita.
"1.618 to be exact. It's the golden ratio. Say do you think nature is based on nonlinear equation systems?" Aelita asked with a smile.
"Can you believe those two? Who do they think they are anyway? Mr. and Mrs. Einstein?" Sissi questioned.
"Uh, who?" Nicholas asked.
Sissi backed away from the pack and started heading to the shops.
"Hey Sissi where are you going? The woods are this way." Hervé told her.
"Yes, but the stores are that way." Sissi pointed.
"But we're supposed to draw plants." Hervé noted with a shy smile.
"There's a florist in the shopping center." Sissi replied.
"Um…" Nicholas trailed off.
"Oh." Hervé said.
In the woods
"There aren't any monsters in these woods. That only happens in fairy tales or horror pictures." Jeremy chuckled as he continued to speak. "The kind that Odd likes."
"You don't like horror films?" Aelita asked.
"Oh I love them." Kaitlyn replied. "Just not the SAW series. I watched one of the films and I nearly…" She got a look from Jeremie. It was telling her not to curse. "…screamed in fright."
"I find them inaccurate scientifically speaking. Anyway I don't have time to go to the movies; I got my work cut out with me thanks to a lot of… homework we've been getting." Jeremy winked as he touched his backpack. "Huh? Oh, no! I don't believe it; I left my laptop in my room. What if we get more homework?" Jeremy winked again but tried to remain serious in front of Kaitlyn.
"Go back and get it. Kaitlyn and I will just keep working by ourselves. Anyway, with the drawings we've already done, I'm sure we'll get the highest grade," Aelita reassured.
"Yeah, be right back," Jeremy said as he raced to get his laptop.
"Bye," Aelita and Kaitlyn said as she felt around her pocket.
"Oi vey." Kaitlyn groaned.
"What's wrong?" Aelita asked.
"I left my cell phone in the room, I have to go and get it. I'm sorry Aelita." Kaitlyn apologized.
"Don't worry, like I said to Jeremy its fine." Aelita reassured.
"Thanks, be right back promise." Kaitlyn said as she put her backpack on and ran to her room.
"Bye." Aelita said.
With Peter, Cassidy, and Jade
Peter zoomed the camera in on his sister and William.
"Peter, I know you care about your sister, but she can handle herself. Stop worrying about her. We should really work on this project and worry about getting a good grade," Cassidy told him. "I cannot allow Mom to yell at me."
"You know that Mrs. Hertz isn't your mom, though, Cassidy. Besides, we also need to find a way to get your memory back, Peter. Has the journal been helping at all?" Jade asked.
"No it hasn't. It has a lot of feelings in there about my other world I don't even have feelings for anymore because I can't remember them. This totally sucks!" Peter said shaking his head.
With Yumi and Ulrich
"So you think we should tell them?" Ulrich asked as he drew a picture of a flower.
"I guess, I mean we've been going out for a while now. We haven't told anyone, and Peter did help us get together, but he doesn't remember doing so." Yumi replied.
"When should we do it?" Ulrich asked.
"Whenever we feel that we are ready." Yumi replied.
With Patricia and William
"I wouldn't call myself a rebel; I'm just a little rebellious." William said.
"But you did get kicked out of your last school for putting some papers on the walls or something," Patricia told him.
"I object, Your Honor, extenuating circumstances. They were love letters." William noted.
Patricia looked to him pointing her pencil at him. "You mean love makes you that crazy?"
William looked back at her. "Makes me totally insane."
Wow, Patricia thought with a blush appearing on her face. Patricia and William got back to doing their work.
With Aelita
Aelita started to hear noises in the woods; she saw nothing.
"Monsters only exist in fairy tales… Monsters only exist in fairy tales," Aelita reassured herself. She then heard a wolf howl as this scared her and she started to run. Aelita continued on running and ran but passed through some bushes. Aelita gripped her head in pain as flashes started to occur, she dropped her notebook. A yellow eye flashed through her mind, as she then saw a wolf. The wolf's eyes scared her, as Aelita looked at the wolf and ran away in fear.
Meanwhile on Lyoko…
In the Ice Sector, two tarantulas were guarding a tower that just turned red.
With Jeremy
Jeremy was in his room as he was just about to touch his laptop. He noticed the super-scan went off. "Just what I was afraid of, Xana's attacking."
With Cassidy, Jade, and Peter
"You know we did okay, but I still think we could have done better if you'd help a little," Cassidy told Peter.
"I want to make sure my sister is safe from this guy, Cassidy," Peter defended.
"Yeah, but we got so few drawings done we might get a failing grade," Jade said.
"I'm just worried about my sister, sweetie." Peter told her.
Cassidy's phone started to ring. "Jeremy?"
With Jeremy
"I'm in school, Xana's attacking. I'll head for the factory, but you guys have to pick Aelita up on the way." Jeremy said.
With Cassidy, Jade, and Peter
"Gotcha Einstein, we'll go and get her." Cassidy said.
"Kaitlyn and I left her on the red trail. Kaitlyn needed her phone for something important," Jeremy informed.
"Are the others with you?" Jeremy asked.
"No, could you ask them to come though?" Cassidy asked kindly.
"Sure thing." Jeremy said.
With Patricia and William
"Actually, I don't do anything half way. It's all or nothing with me, I just can't bring myself to be sensible. But hey, being sensible is just not sensible." William quoted.
"You took that line from the Subsonics." Patricia noted.
"You listen to them?" William asked.
"Of course, they're amazing." Patricia replied as her phone started to ring. "Yeah?"
"Well it's about time we got back to work huh? Patricia? Patricia?" William asked.
With Aelita
Aelita panted as she put her hand on a tree next to her, she then saw a house. She came to the house, and looked at the nameplate.
"The Hermitage." Aelita said.
Another pain went through Aelita's head as she gripped her hands on her head. Aelita had an image going through her head of another version of The Hermitage, only it was much nicer looking. Aelita walked up the stairs, as she saw broken glass.
"Is… is anybody home?" Aelita shouted.
A camera moved as it looked at Aelita going up the stairs.
With the others
"Are you sure this is the place?" Odd asked Cassidy.
"That's what Einstein said," Cassidy replied as Kiwi sniffed a notebook.
"Hey look at that," Jade said noticing Kiwi.
"Let's follow him." Odd said.
"Sounds like a good idea." Peter figured.
"Kiwi might be a little dumb, but he does have a good nose," Odd said to Ulrich.
"He isn't that dumb," Cassidy defended. "I love him as I am a dog lover. Sure I love cats and horses, too, but I love dogs, as well."
Peter heard a noise behind him as he was about to make a kick, then saw Patricia, Ulrich, and Yumi.
"Hey bro, edgy aren't we?" Patricia asked.
"What a warm welcome, nice," Yumi said.
"Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, we can't find Aelita!" Odd informed them.
With Aelita
Aelita opened the door as papers flew around her. She walked into the abandon house, as she took her and rubbed it across an old dusty table. A black ghost like figure followed her. Aelita went into the living room as she sat on a couch. She got up and looked around, her head spinning as she heard piano keys playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She gripped the fire place's edge, for balance. A flash occurred as Aelita indeed saw a man in a lab coat, playing the song. The man ended the song, as another flash occurred and sweat crept onto Aelita's forehead. Aelita saw another vision as the man turned his face, showing he was wearing his glasses. The glasses started to glow and the memory ended. Aelita turned around and screamed when she saw one of Xana's specters.
With Jeremy in the lab
"Don't tell me you haven't found her yet! What have you guys been doing? She may be in big danger." Jeremy told them.
"Chill, Jeremy, okay? We're doing everything we can." Odd said.
Back with the others
"Who knows? Maybe Aelita just went back to school. Kiwi led us to an old house in the woods. We're going to take a look inside," Odd informed in.
With Jeremy in the lab
"We'll call you back if we have any news," Odd said as the call ended.
"Hmm…" Jeremy pondered.
Back with the others
Patricia was staring at another house not too far from the Hermitage.
"Um guys?" She asked nearly cracking her voice.
"What's wrong Patricia?" Peter asked worried.
Patricia's teeth started to shake. "Um...- there's another house. R-right th-there!" She stammered as she pointed over to the house.
Everyone turned to where Patricia pointed her finger.
"That's not possible." Jade gasped.
"But, what the heck?" Cassidy asked in shock as she nearly collapsed on her knees.
"Look let's go look for Aelita, we'll inform Jeremy about the other mysterious house later." Ulrich said.
"Right." Patricia said then gasped.
"Patricia?" Yumi asked.
Flashback
Patricia could hear a little girl giggle as she ran into the house. The fence on the house had a name. The name was The Carter Residence. Before the little giggling girl went into the house, she turned around. Her brown eyes started to glow, and Patricia recognized the girl. It was…
End of flashback
"Oh my god! That's just…" Patricia shuddered.
"What just happened?" Peter asked.
"I just… had a flashback." Patricia replied.
Everyone looked at one another.
"We really need to go find Aelita." Yumi urged. "Sorry, Patricia."
Everyone walked up the stairs to the steps of the Hermitage, as the camera with the Xana sign followed their move. The door was already opened as Ulrich asked
"Aelita?"
"Aelita, where are you?" Jade asked.
Just then the door slammed closed as glass broke and made Cassidy jump out of fear. Jade had to hold her shoulders to cool her down. Odd removed his bag, as he tried to open the door.
"It's locked."
"Great." Cassidy groaned.
"No signal." Ulrich said checking his cell phone.
"I got no bars too." Patricia said checking her phone.
Cassidy looked at the tiny screen on hers. "Good grief! I don't have anything!"
Just then a desk was being moved by itself as it was about to run into the group. Almost like a careening car.
"Look out." Yumi warned.
Yumi pushed Ulrich out of the way as Cassidy managed to catch him. Patricia pulled Peter aside, as Yumi moved out of the way. The desk was crushed into pieces.
"That way." Ulrich pointed then looked to Cassidy. "Thanks for the save."
"Welcome," Cassidy replied.
The group ran into a room as they sat on a desk.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ulrich asked.
"Xana!" Yumi, Cassidy, and Peter replied.
"Yeah, and that means Aelita must be here somewhere," Odd said.
A box of knives flew through the air.
"I really hate that Multi-Agent System. Yo lo mataría si pudiera." Cassidy said as the group dodged them. Plates and other items were flying. Ulrich gasped, "Hey Odd, Patricia, watch out."
Odd and Patricia ducked under the lamp. It crashed in a haze of smoke.
"Too close." Patricia sighed.
The group ran downstairs.
"Looks like, Xana is trying to lead us somewhere." Yumi said.
"Or maybe to someone," Jade said.
"Aelita!" The group exclaimed.
Ulrich helped Aelita up with Yumi's help. "Don't worry, Princess. We're here," He reassured.
"Ulrich, it's a trap. Xana—he's going to—" Aelita tried to tell him as she was cut off.
Odd managed to hold the door with his foot.
"Get Aelita out!" Odd urged.
Aelita, Cassidy, and Peter managed to get out. However, as Yumi was about to crawl under, Odd collapsed on the three people side and Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, and Jade were locked in.
The thermostat started to go up.
Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, and Jade tried to pull open the door.
"You'll be cooked alive if we don't get you out of there!" Odd said with worry.
Aelita, Odd, Cassidy, and Peter tried to pull/push door open from the outside too but it was no good.
"Odd, run to the factory with Aelita, Cassidy, and Peter. Deactivate the tower! It's our only hope." Ulrich told him.
"Come on." Odd said as he took Aelita's hand and ran. Cassidy and Peter followed. They got to the back door and Odd tried to open it but it was locked.
"I knew it, now we'll have to go above ground." Odd said.
"Maybe not," Cassidy said as they heard a noise.
"Wait." Odd said as he pushed Aelita out of the way, and Patricia pulled Cassidy out of the way. Odd used both of his hands as he vaulted over the shelving unit.
With Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, and Jade
Yumi and the others heard the crash as Yumi gasped.
Back with Odd, Aelita, Cassidy, and Peter
"Finally found you guys." Kaitlyn sighed in relief.
"Kiwi, and Kaitlyn?! What are you doing here?" Odd asked.
Kiwi jumped into Odd's arms as Kaitlyn explained "Jeremy said he couldn't find you guys or Aelita. So I walked a little on the red trail, and soon heard little Kiwi barking. Then I followed him here. I want a full explanation now!" Kaitlyn said.
"This might not be the best time, Kaitlyn," Odd countered.
Aelita looked at the door as her she closed her eyes, and she went into a flashback.
Flashback
Aelita and the man that was playing the piano opened the door. Then the scene went to a stair case. Aelita soon saw the sewers.
End of flashback
"Odd, Cassidy, Peter, Kaitlyn. There's a passage over there, I think it leads to the sewers!" Aelita said.
"This is no time for jokes, Aelita," Odd and Kaitlyn said.
"I'm not joking, Odd and Kaitlyn. I'm sure," Aelita told them.
"But why would there be one?" Peter asked.
"No clue." Cassidy lied.
"Huh?" Odd and Kaitlyn wondered.
Odd opened the door, and sure enough, there was a passage. "Wow! Incredible! How did you know about this?" Odd asked.
"What's the point of going into the sewers anyhow?" Kaitlyn asked. "It's not as if we can clean it."
"We could let her in on it," Cassidy suggested.
"You think Jeremy will be okay with that?" Peter asked.
"Well, she is family." Cassidy replied. "And blood—though I'm frightened of other people's blood—is thicker than water."
"In on what?" Kaitlyn asked.
The group all smiled and gave a small nod.
Back with Ulrich, Yumi, Patricia, and Jade
The thermostat was increasing with the heat. Jade went back to the bench, as Ulrich, Patricia, and Yumi were sitting on it.
"Patricia…" Jade trailed off.
"I know, I probably should have told you and Peter about William beforehand," Patricia said.
"I think that would have been best," Jade said truthfully.
"You know, guys, depending on what may happen, Ulrich and I have something to tell you," Yumi said.
"What is it?" Patricia asked.
"Well…" Ulrich trailed off with a slight nervous chuckle, Jade raised her eyebrow. Patricia crossed her arms.
Back with Aelita, Odd, Cassidy, Peter, and Kaitlyn
The small group was in the elevator as they went down to the laboratory.
"Ready for this, Kaitlyn?" Cassidy asked.
"Girl, I'm always ready for anything." Kaitlyn replied.
The elevator door opened, as they all saw a concerned Jeremy tapping his finger on his chair.
"Wow…" Kaitlyn gasped.
"Aelita? I was really worried. Kaitlyn, what are you doing here?" Jeremy asked.
"I want to help, cuz! That's what I am here for!"
"No time to lose, Einstein. Otherwise Ulrich, Yumi, Patricia, and Jade will end up like Dim Sum," Odd told him.
"Okay head for the scanners I'll start the process. Kaitlyn, are you sure about this?" Jeremy asked.
"Positive, cuz." Kaitlyn replied.
Cassidy smiled as Jeremy started to type. They eventually got to the scanner room.
"Okay, now this is just awesome." Kaitlyn said.
Aelita, Odd, and Peter went into the scanners.
"Transfer: Aelita. Transfer: Odd. Transfer: Peter. Scanner: Aelita, Scanner: Odd. Scanner: Peter. Virtualization!" Jeremy exclaimed.
"Ready Kaitlyn?" Cassidy asked.
"Ready." Kaitlyn replied.
Cassidy nodded, and Kaitlyn went into the scanners.
"Transfer: Cassidy. Transfer: Kaitlyn. Scanner: Cassidy. Scanner: Kaitlyn. Virtualization!" Jeremy exclaimed.
A brief light enveloped both of the girl's scanners as they were transferred to the ice sector.
The OverWing, OverBoard, OverScooter, the OverDrive, and OverBike were materialized.
"Aelita, the OverWing is for you. I've also materialized Ulrich's OverBike for you, Kaitlyn." Jeremy informed her.
"Thanks, Elvis," Kaitlyn said.
Cassidy started snickering. "I really wonder what went through Jeremy's parents' minds as they picked out his middle name."
"Our taxies are waiting for us, let's go." Odd said as he hoped onto his Overboard.
Everyone went onto their vehicles as they followed the path way to the tower. Kaitlyn looked at herself. She was wearing silver armor with silver pants. She had one sword in a sheath on her back.
"Tower dead ahead," Odd informed.
"Careful, you've got four Tarantulas guarding it." Jeremy warned.
"We'll never be able to fight through four of those horrors!" Odd said.
"Maybe Peter and I could lure away two of them," Aelita smiled mischievously.
"Oh…" Odd and Cassidy said.
"Aelita, what are you planning on doing?" Jeremy asked.
"She's going to still the show with Peter," Odd replied.
"Clever, Aelita." Kaitlyn said.
With Ulrich, Yumi, Jade, and Patricia
Sweat pooled underneath the occupants in the room. Ulrich already had his shirt off, and it was getting worse for the girls.
"Go ahead, I won't look." Ulrich promised. Yumi took off her black shirt, now revealing wearing a short pink bra. Jade and Patricia were sitting on the ground, as Jade removed her shirt wearing a light green one underneath. Patricia was wearing a periwinkle t-shirt. Ulrich and Yumi had their backs against one another and they blushed.
"I really wish…you could have told us sooner. It could have triggered a memory in Peter." Jade said.
"The old Peter," Patricia frowned and sighed.
Back on Lyoko
Aelita and Peter rode their vehicles toward the four tarantula's whom were about to fire.
"Well, my little monster friends, did ya miss us?" Aelita winked.
Aelita then rode away as Peter said, "Hey look at us guys, we're the targets! Not them!" (Quote from Doctor: Who. BBC owns this not us. Original quote "Hey look at me, I'm a target.")
Two out of the four Tarantulas followed Aelita and Peter. They stood up and fired as Aelita and Peter dodged their lasers. The lasers manage to hit their vehicles as they tumbled to the ground. Aelita and Peter ran away from the Tarantulas as they were now at the edge. Odd and Cassidy appeared at the scene.
"You-who, surprise!" Odd said.
"Take this, you danged sons of a virus!" Cassidy growled gravelly. Odd shot several of his laser arrows as Cassidy changed her gun into a bazooka. She pulled the trigger as Odd's laser arrows went through the air and hit the Tarantula. The rocket from the bazooka made contact and both of the Tarantulas exploded from Odd and Cassidy's hit.
"They're not all that invisible," Odd said.
"Yeah." Cassidy smiled. Unlike the Kolossus in season 4 where there are two targets instead of one. "Oh, and happy birthday, your gift is death, you Tarantulas."
Odd started laughing. "Angel-Girl, calm down. I think I rubbed off on ya."
Kaitlyn appeared next them as she figured out her sword.
"Darn it, just missed them."
"Don't worry, we just have two more," Peter said.
"Uh, oh. Jeremy, I'm out of ammo," Odd feared.
"Okay, I'll reload you, but be patient," Jeremy said.
"We're going to have to keep the monsters busy. Wait for our signal to run," Odd said.
"Gotcha." Aelita nodded.
"Understood." Peter said.
Odd, Cassidy, and Kaitlyn rode off.
Back with Ulrich, Yumi, Patricia, and Jade
"Guys… I need to tell you something…" Patricia panted.
"What is it?" Jade asked panting a little herself as she tried to hold out.
"I want to go out with William…" Patricia trailed off as she continued to pant.
"That's not our decision to make…" Ulrich panted then fell on the floor.
"You'll have to talk to Peter…" Yumi panted as she tried to hold out.
Patricia and Jade passed out as Yumi continued to hold on.
Back on Lyoko
A little bit later, Cassidy was under a Tarantula as it hit her, making her disappear in a cloud of pixilated dust.
"Cassidy!" Kaitlyn exclaimed taking out her sword.
"She'll be okay, just worn out in the scanner room." Odd said.
Odd and Kaitlyn continued to dodge the lasers as they rode around the tower. The lasers hit the tower.
"Done, you're fully reloaded." Jeremy informed.
"Great Jeremy, we're breaking off." Odd said.
Kaitlyn followed Odd as they made the tarantula's follow them. Aelita and Peter peeked to make sure it was all clear. Odd and Kaitlyn drove to the edge of the ice as they turned around.
"Aelita, Peter now." Odd signaled as he fired his laser arrows. Aelita and Peter got up from their spot as the tarantula's fired at Odd and Kaitlyn.
I've got to have some type of power, at least powerful enough to take these things down. If only I had lightning power, now that would be pretty cool. Kaitlyn thought as electricity started to build up in her hands.
"Wow… what luck." Kaitlyn said as she started zapping at the tarantula. Odd and Kaitlyn continued to fire at the tarantula's as Aelita and Peter ran to the tower. The Tarantula's hit their vehicles as they fell. Odd shot his laser arrows at the Tarantula as Kaitlyn shot electricity at her tarantula.
"Yes!" Odd exclaimed.
"They made it." Kaitlyn sighed in relief as Aelita and Peter went into the tower. The Tarantulas turned around and saw them entering the tower.
"Yeah!" Odd and Kaitlyn high-fived each other.
Back on Lyoko
Aelita and Peter began to rise to the platform in the tower.
Back with Yumi
Yumi held her stomach as she was still trying to hold out against the heat.
Back on Lyoko
Aelita pressed her hand on the screen as it read
Aelita
Code:
Back with Yumi
Yumi had just passed out.
Back with Aelita and Peter
Aelita entered the code and said, "Tower deactivated."
Peter then placed his hand subconsciously.
"You need to remember," a disembodied voice, somewhat female, fluttered inside his mind.
"Peter?" Aelita asked.
On the interface it read
Peter
It blinked three times. Then the word Code appeared.
Peter typed in:
Memory
A few seconds later, the words Memory Fragment 2 Gained scrolled across the screen and the files then started to go down. Aelita had a puzzled look on her face.
"Return to the past, now," Jeremy said.
The light for the return to the past passed over Earth.
"Congratulations, Ms. Delmas. You found an Amazonian Yucca here in our woods?" Mrs. Hertz asked.
"Uh, yeah, and it wasn't easy either," Sissi replied.
"Is that so? Well, I think it's going to be much easier grading your work. Zero," Mrs. Hertz drew a circle in her notebook as Cassidy, Jade, and Peter passed Sissi's group.
"So did you manage to get any drawing done this time?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah. But we had to make sure Peter was in a different area from Patricia and William. Going back in time definitely didn't help his overprotectiveness," Cassidy sighed.
Patricia and William waved good bye as Peter scowled.
"I went to check out that house the Hermitage, nothing to report. Abandon but normal, plus that other house will have to be checked out soon," Jeremy said.
"It's so weird, all of those visions I had there," Aelita said.
"Plus not to mention that underground passage you knew about," Odd said.
Aelita closed her eyes.
Flashback
It was the current version of the Hermitage.
End of flashback
"It was as if I had already seen that house, but in a dream," Aelita said.
"A new mystery to solve for us," Yumi said.
"That's for sure," Jade said.
"Guys we have an announcement," Ulrich said.
"What is it?" Cassidy and Kaitlyn asked. Peter looked to Cassidy, who looked tense, and rubbed her shoulders to calm her down.
"Ulrich and I have been in a relationship for more than a month now." Yumi said.
That went over like a ton of bricks. "WHAT?!"
"Yeah, we weren't ready to tell you before but now we are. So I guess that's our secret," Ulrich chuckled with a slight blush. Despite from what the group had been told, Jeremy took something out from his backpack.
"By the way Aelita, this is for you." He handed it to her. "It's to keep us one step ahead of Xana."
"For me?" Aelita asked as she unwrapped the present. It revealed to be a cell phone. She gave it a scrutinizing look, unsure about it.
"This way we can stay in touch," Jeremy chuckled. "I thought that pink would suit you."
"Wow, it looks cool. It matches your hair," Odd commented.
"Plus pink is one of my favorite colors," Cassidy said.
"Yeah, it's a neat phone," Jade said.
"That's for sure," Peter said.
Aelita hugged Jeremy and said, "Thank you Jeremy." She then decided to put the phone to use.
"There you go; you're like a regular school kid now," Odd said as the group laughed.
I think I'll keep the owner of The Carter house a secret for now… Patricia thought.
Done ! Sorry for the long wait for season 2 guys, thank you for being patient. Hope you liked it and don't forget to stay tuned for the next update.
