Kate's POV
Her dream
'Ulrich stop' I giggled as he tickled me.
'Say please' he said.
'No' I said still giggling.
'Fine then' he said moving down to my sides tickling me.
My laughter increased through the meadow we were sitting in. My hair was down and a white flower was pinned in the side. I was in an ankle length milky white dress and a white flower anklet was on my left ankle. I was also barefoot.
'Ok, ok, please' I said finally.
He stopped tickling me and pulled me onto his lap bringing my face close to his.
'See, that wasn't so hard' he said looking into my eyes.
He was so close to me that the slightest movement would cause our lips to touch. He lips only managed to brush mine before a screaming sound woke me from my reverie.
END DREAM
'AHHHH' Aelita screamed.
My eyes shot opened and I jumped out of my bed and ran over to her, checking her for any physical injuries.
'Geez Aelita, you nearly gave me a heart attack' I said holding my hand over my chest.
'I'm sorry I just had a nightmare' she said trying to catch her breath.
Suddenly Sissi burst into our room and stared at us with her hands on her hips. Her hair was disheveled and she looked more ridiculous than usual.
'WHO IS THAT SCREAMING' she shouted.
'Well at the moment, that person would be you' I said giving her a fake smile.
'Shut up Kate, you know what I mean' she said glaring at me.
'Do you know what time it is?' she asked glaring at us.
'Half past skin' I said sarcastically as I looked at my watch-less wrist.
'Five o'clock in the morning' Aelita said looking at her clock.
'Yes that is right, and this is the third night in a row you've woken me up. I have had it' she said slamming the door.
'YEAH, WELL, WE'VE HAD IT SEEING YOUR FACE BUT UNFORTUNATELY, YOU SHOW UP EVERYDAY' I shouted back at her.
'SHUT UP KATE' she shouted before she slammer her own door.
'Don't mind her Aelita, try to go back to sleep' I said to her as I went back over to my bed.
'I'll try' she said before lying down.
I lied down on my bed and tried to continue to have that wonderful dream.
AT THE SHOWERS
Aelita and I made our way into the shower section and I entered one. Soon after I heard Aelita screamed and I almost slipped down.
'What in the world' I said as I wrapped my towel around me and followed the screams.
I walked out and saw Sissi and a few other girls taunting Aelita.
'Hey, that's enough' I said as I walked towards them.
'Oh look its Ms. Preppy coming to save the day' Sissi mocked.
'Yes, I came to save these innocent girls from seeing your hideous face' I shot back.
Her eyes widened and she glared at me before walking away.
'Are you ok Aelita? Why did you scream?' I asked her.
'I thought I saw a wolf' she said.
'A wolf? But, there is no wolf in there. We were the only two people in there' I said.
'I know what I saw Kate, don't you believe me?' she asked.
'Of course I do? But, you can't stay out here you have to shower' I said.
She nodded and slowly made her way into the showers. I looked inside to make sure there wasn't actually a wolf in there, but I didn't a trace of one.
BREAKTIME
Aelita was explaining her dream to the rest of the group and they all looked a little skeptical, but who could blame them, it's hard to believe that a wolf was in the girls showers.
'It's a shame you didn't dream about me Aelita, you know me, I'm a real dream come true' Odd said.
'Yeah, in your head' I snorted.
'You know what Kate, you're starting to get sassy young lady' Odd said wagging his finger at me.
'I'm not sassy, I'm witty' I said smirking.
'Kate's right Odd, you're more like a nightmare' Ulrich said laughing.
As soon as his gaze landed on me I blushed like crazy. That dream was still having effects on me.
'These visions of yours are becoming a real problem' Yumi said.
'It all started at the Hermitage, I think you should go back there' Jeremy said.
'What, back to that old house, I'm not sure if you remember but last time, we were attacked by a cupboard, a lamp and a gang of forks' Odd said.
'I don't like that place it scares me' Aelita said standing up.
'We don't have any choice Aelita, if we don't something, your hallucinations could get worse' Yumi said holding her shoulders.
'Don't worry, this time we'll go with you' Jeremy said holding her hand and rubbing it.
AT THE HERMITAGE
Gosh, Odd wasn't lying when he said this place was creepy, I don't even want to go inside.
'My legs are shaking, what's happening to me?' Aelita said.
'You're scared it's nothing to worry about, it happens to Jeremy all the time' Odd said walking up the steps.
'Come on we'll see who's scared' Jeremy said following him.
Everyone else began walking but I stayed rooted in my spot. I've never been good dealing with anything like haunted houses and ghosts.
'Come on Sunshine, what are you waiting for?' Ulrich asked.
'Uhh, I'll just wait here for you guys' I said looking at the house.
'Suit yourself, we'll be out soon' Yumi said.
They all walked inside and became very aware of my surrounding. Every sound was making me jump and when I heard an animal make a sound, I sprinted into the Hermitage. The gang looked at me like I've lost it.
'What's wrong Kate?' Jeremy asked.
'I changed my mind, I'll go with you guys' I said standing in the middle of them.
I felt a bit comforted as I walked in the center of them, but I was still feeling scared.
'Hey, stay down boy' Odd said talking to a book.
'Odd stop it, you're scaring Kate even more than she already is' Ulrich said.
'See everything is just fine' Jeremy said.
Aelita began to walk slowly up the stairs and we followed her. She ended up going into a wrecked room. It looked like a little's girl's room.
'AHHH'Aelita screamed as she covered her eyes and back up into a cupboard.
'Aelita, hey come on, your just hallucinating. It's not real' I said as I grabbed her shoulders.
'Aelita are you ok?' Yumi asked as she stepped closer to her.
'Yes, I mean, I think so' she said.
'Did you have another vision?' Jeremy asked.
She nodded and with her eyes closed, she began walking towards the other side of the room.
'Yes, but it was different this time' she said with her back to us.
'Its as if something or someone was leading me to- something in a tree like this one' Aelita said as she pulled a drawing from the wall.
There was a hole in the wall and something was in there.
'Mister Puck' Aelita said as she pulled an elf doll from the hole.
Mister who?
MATH CLASS
'So to make a long story short, Aelita's never seen this toy gnome but she's been dreaming about it for days and she knows that it's called Mister Puck' Jeremy said.
'It's not a gnome it's an elf' Ulrich said.
'Well whatever it is this whole story is just paranormal' Odd said.
Sissi came out of nowhere and grabbed Mister Puck and began swinging it in front of Aelita. That girl really knows how to upset my mood.
'Well Aelita, you still play with dolls' she said cackling like the witch she is.
'Sissi, give that back right now' Jeremy said walking towards her.
She held it up in the air and Jeremy was jumping for it.
'Go fetch' she said throwing it.
Nicholas caught it and begun laughing as he swung it.
'Hey, a bit of advice, give me that toy right now' Ulrich threatened.
'What toy' he said as he passed it to Herb.
'Herb, I dare you to take off your glasses, come on' Odd said throwing a punch.
Herb threw it in my direction and I caught it. Sissi came and began pulling it out of my hands. We were both tugging it before I got fed and I pushed her back making her fall to the floor. A small key fell to the floor and Sissi went to grab it but Ulrich covered it with his foot.
'Nuh uh' Ulrich said smirking at her.
'What is all this noise about?' Mrs. Meyer asked stepping into the class.
'Ok you can have it, but only because it's you' Sissi said walking off.
Ulrich picked it up and passed it Jeremy. I sat down in my seat next to Odd.
Mrs. Meyer began explaining about triangles and I took notes. I looked over at Odd and found him about to fall asleep.
'Odd, class just started' I said nudging him.
'Kate, her classes are worse than death' He said dramatically.
We both laughed quietly and suddenly, Jeremy jumped up out is his seat.
'Hey, a locker, it's the key to a train station locker' He exclaimed happily.
'Jeremy, I'm listening' Mrs. Meyer said.
'Uhh a complex number is called transcended only if the rational calculation polynomial route is called polynomial zero' Jeremy said.
'That's not the answer to the question Einstein' I whispered to him.
'Yes that is a paradox but, it is not the answer to our problem so, zero' she said.
Sissi, Herb and Nicholas began laughing at Jeremy's expense.
'Dorks' I said loud enough for them to hear me, and they did.
AT THE TRAIN STATION
'This is it, would you like to do the honors' Jeremy said handing the key to Aelita.
She opened the locker and a briefcase was inside, with the letters FH on it.
'FH, what does that stand for?' Ulrich asked.
'Fuzzy hands, fifty cent hotdogs, hot flies' Odd said.
'It doesn't start with an H' I said.
'Just testing to see it you were on your toes' Odd said resting his hand on my shoulder.
'Oh look, music' Odd said as Jeremy opened the briefcase.
'Certainly not' he said taking out his laptop.
Jeremy took one of the cd's and entered it into his laptop.
'Franz Hopper's diary' he said.
'Who is Franz Hopper?' I asked.
'He is the man who owns the Hermitage' Yumi said.
'Maybe we can find more info about him' Ulrich said.
'For sure, but not right away, everything is encrypted. I have to decode it first' Jeremy said.
'And how much time do you need, one maybe two hours' Ulrich said.
'More like one or two years' Jeremy said.
'Your kidding, right' I asked.
'I wish I was' Jeremy said.
THE NEXT MORNING
KATE AND AELITA'S DORM
'Kate, can I borrow some of your flower perfume' Aelita asked.
'Sure, it's right on my night stand' I said painting my fingernails.
'I'll be right back' Aelita said as she walked out of her room.
I was almost done painting my nails, when suddenly, a black ghost like thing, came out of my lamp and entered my mouth. I screamed and withered in pain. It felt like it was pricking into my head trying to get in and the pain was unbearable. I felt it leave my body and retread back into the lamp. My body was still convulsing as I tried to stand.
'Kate, are you alright, I heard you scream' Aelita said as she came back into the room.
'A ghost, a ghost' I said trembling.
'A what, Kate' Aelita said touching me.
My body was still sensitive so I jerked back when she touched me.
'Come on Kate, let's go to the infirmary' Aelita said as she wrapped my arm around her neck and began leading me to the nurse's office.
''N-n-no, the g-ghost' I stuttered in fear.
I was terrified of anything with ghosts and the fact that one entered my body is making me feel like I'm going into cardiac arrest. I saw Odd and Ulrich running towards me and their eyes widened at the sight of me.
'Kate, what's wrong' Ulrich said putting my other arm around his neck.
'A ghost attacked her' Aelita exclaimed.
'One attacked Odd and I this morning' Ulrich said.
'I think that its XANA, maybe he was trying to take control of our bodies' Odd said.
'Her heartbeat is getting faster, we have to get her to the nurse' Ulrich said.
I felt him sweep me up into his arms and he ran to the infirmary.
'Ulrich, the ghost' I said.
'You're going to be fine Kate' Ulrich said.
He opened the door and I saw Yolanda look at us in surprise.
'What happened' she asked coming over to me.
'Uhhh, she saw something that terrified her' Ulrich said.
'Lay her on the bed, I have to get her heartbeat back down' She said.
I was still convulsing and my vision soon turned dark.
Ulrich's POV
'Odd, you and Aelita tell Jeremy what happened, I'll stay here with Kate' I said.
They nodded and made their way to Jeremy's room. I looked at Kate, she was really terrified. Her body was still convulsing and she was trembling.
'Ulrich, you need to get to class. Katherine will be fine and you can come see her later' Yolanda said.
I reluctantly nodded and give her a fleeting look before I made my way to gym class.
GYM CLASS
'Running is the noblest event in athletics except maybe for the long jump, short put, javelin, high jump' Jim said.
I couldn't even be bothered to listen to him. I was too worried about Kate.
'Some of you negotiate running as cowardness and running away, nothing can be further from the truth. He who runs well will go far' Jim said.
'How is Kate?' Odd asked.
'I don't know, Yolanda said to come back after class to visit her' I said.
'Jeremy, let's see how powerful your strides are' Jim said.
'On your mark, get set, go' Jim said as Jeremy began running.
He hadn't taken more than 5 steps before he dropped to the ground.
'Ouch, I twisted my ankle' he said holding his ankle.
'Yeah of course you did, you don't get strong muscles sitting in front of a computer. Herb, take him to the infirmary' Jim said.
'Jim, would you mind if Aelita came with me instead' Jeremy asked.
'Ok, whatever go on then take him far away from me' Jim said.
Aelita began to help Jeremy to the nurse's office and Odd and I focused our attention back on Jim.
Kate's POV
'Ok Katherine, take these pills I'll be right back' Yolanda said before she walked out the room.
I had blacked out from the shock and when I woke up, Yolanda was wiping my head with a moist towel. She wants to keep me in here overnight to make sure I'm ok. But on the bright side, I get to miss classes for a day. I sighed and turned my head towards the window and my eyes widened at what I saw. Jeremy was running towards the forest with an unconscious Aelita strung over his shoulder. I scrambled to grab my phone off of the counter and I called Ulrich.
'Hello' he answered.
'Ulrich, I just saw Jeremy, run into the forest with Aelita on his shoulder, she looks unconscious' I frantically said.
'Kate, what are you doing you're supposed to be resting' he said.
'That's not the point, I think something is wrong' I said.
'Ok, Odd and I will check it out and I'll call Yumi' He said.
'I'll come with you' I said.
'No, stay there' he said before hanging up.
There is no way I'm staying here when Aelita could be in danger. I quickly hopped out of the bed and grabbed my shoes before I ran out the door towards the forest. I saw Odd and Ulrich about to go down in the sewer when Ulrich saw me.
'Kate, didn't I tell you to stay in the infirmary' Ulrich said.
'You did, but I chose to ignore you' I said climbing down.
Ulrich grabbed my arm and hindered me from going any further.
'Look, if it was me he kidnapped, I know Aelita would try to stop him even if she had a broken leg' I said.
'But-' he started.
'But nothing, we're wasting time' I said climbing down.
Ulrich's phone began ringing and he answered it.
'Ok, we're on it' he said before hanging up.
'Yumi checked the super scan, XANA has launched an attack' he said.
'He possessed Jeremy' I said.
'It looks like it, come on' Ulrich said.
We all made our way to factory. Upon arriving at the bridge, we swung down the ropes to see a XANA-fied Jeremy holding Aelita.
'So ,you going down to' Odd said.
He dropped Aelita and electricity formed in his hands. I felt fear creep up on me, just thinking about Jeremy being possessed made my heart rate increase. Come on Kate, he's still Jeremy…just a physically enhanced version.
'Boy, its pretty weird to be fighting against Jeremy, I mean I don't want to hurt him but-' Odd said before he attacked.
Jeremy pushed him to the side and he collided with a metal pillar.
'Odd' I shouted.
Ulrich tried to kick Jeremy but he punched him in the gut making him keel over. Ulrich tried to punch him but Jeremy grabbed his fist and electrocuted him. I saw a long piece on metal on the floor and I picked it up and swung it at Jeremy. He knocked it out of my hands and then grabbed my arms electrocuting me.
'AHHH' I screamed.
He flung me to the ground and I lied their convulsing.
I looked up and saw Aelita climbing up the rope but Jeremy popped it and caught Aelita as she fell. Suddenly Yumi came swinging on the rope and she hit Jeremy on the back of the head with a wrench. He fell to the ground and released Aelita.
'Quick, we've got to get to Lyoko' she said getting into the elevator.
'Kate, are you ok' Ulrich said helping me off the floor.
'I'll live' I said as we both walked into the elevator.
'I have the coordinates to the activated tower' Yumi said.
'You guys go ahead, I'll take care of him' Odd said.
'Yumi, Ulrich, you two go first' Aelita said.
They both went down to the scanner room and Aelita started up the process.
'Transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich' she said.
'Scanner Yumi, scanner Ulrich' she said.
'Virtualization' she said.
After a while, Yumi and Ulrich appeared on the Lyoko radar.
'We're here Aelita, nice job' Ulrich praised.
'Ok Kate, our turn, I'm starting up the virtualization countdown' she said.
We both made our way into the scanners and soon they closed and we were virtualized to Lyoko. I saw that we were in the ice sector, I've never seen this one before.
'The ice sector huh, nice' I said looking around.
'Look there' Aelita pointed to the activated tower.
We all broke off into a sprint.
'He who runs well goes far' Aelita said.
'Is Odd the one who teaches you nosense like that?' Yumi asked.
'No, as a matter of fact, its Jim' Aelita said.
'Keep your eyes open, we don't have Jeremy to warn us about monsters' Ulrich said as we neared the tower.
Suddenly, the ground started to crack. Do earthquakes even happen on Lyoko?
'Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that' Ulrich said.
Bloks began to crawl up out of the cracks. The four of them surrounded us and I unwrapped my ribbon as Yumi and Ulrich took out their weapons. They spun their heads around before charging up their lasers and firing. I dodge and used my ribbon to deflect the blasts.
'You little legos just know how to ruin things don't you' I said whipping at the Blok.
I saw Ulrich's leg get frozen by one of the Bloks and we wad struggling to get free. I whipped my ribbon at it and it broke.
'Thanks Kate' he said.
'No problem' I said whipping at another Blok.
'Yumi, protect Aelita, Kate and I will handle the Bloks' Ulrich said.
'Got it' Yumi said flipping over to where Aelita was standing.
'Kate, help me with this' Ulrich said as he took of sprinting.
'Help you with what?' I asked.
'Triplicate' he said as he split into three.
He stabbed one of them with his clones and jumped off.
'Fusion' he said as his clones came back together.
'You still haven't answered my question' I said whipping at two Bloks.
'Kate, can you give me a hand' Yumi asked deflecting a string of lasers.
'Sure, as soon as I can get rid of this dumb Blok' I said.
The Blok freezed my leg and I was stuck.
'You're kidding me' I said whipping at the ice.
I materialized my clubs and sent them flying in different directions. Two at the Blok Yumi is fighting, two at the Blok Ulrich is fighting and the last one straight into the eye of the Blok that was preparing to fire at me. As soon as my club hit it, it exploded.
'Yeah' I said in happiness.
'Ouch Kate, you were supposed to hit the Blok not me' Ulrich said holding his shoulder.
'Sorry, I can't control the exact spot they hit' I apologized.
'I'm going to knock your Blok off you dumb blockhead' Ulrich said to the Blok.
'Sounds like you miss Odd, you're jokes are worse than his' Yumi said.
Yumi sent her fan into the air but it missed the Blok so she used her telekinesis to send it flying back and hitting it in its eye.
'Now that's what I call a-huh' Yumi said before she began materializing.
'Yumi' I said as she disappeared.
The last Blok was fighting hard with Ulrich.
'Aelita come on, let's make it to the tower' I said.
But the dumb Blok just won't let us go. It freezed Aelita's leg and used its laser to knock my ribbon out my hand. It was useless to use my rope because I'm too far away and there is no way I'm using my ball.
'Ulrich' I called.
'Hang on' he said fighting with the other Blok.
The Blok fired up its laser and shot at Aelita but I stretched my body in front of her's to take the blast.
'Ahhh' I said holding my chest.
Ulrich killed the Blok he was dealing with and when it exploded his katana skidded over to me. I quickly grabbed it and flung it straight into the Bloks' eye and it exploded.
'Nice one Sunshine, who knew you could even hold a sword' Ulrich said as he grabbed his katana and freed Aelita and I.
'Haha very funny' I said as I grabbed my ribbon and wrapped it around my wrist.
Suddenly , the scyphozoa came and wrapped Aelita in its tentacles. Nope, not today. I am not in the mood for this today.
'You know what, you have got to be XANA's most creepiest monster' I said as I slashed the scyphozoa's tentacles with my ribbon.
It screeched and dropped Aelita. I continued to slash at its tentacles until it completely retreaded.
'Thanks Kate' Aelita said.
'No sweat, head for the tower' I said.
She ran into the tower and soon, it turned green.
'Once again, we've out smarted XANA' I said.
'We always out smart him' Ulrich said laughing.
'Hello, guys' Jeremy said.
'Jeremy, you're back to normal' I exclaimed.
'Yeah, I'll bring you guys in' he said.
'Materialization Kate' he said.
'Materialization Ulrich' he said.
I stepped out of the scanner and Ulrich, Aelita and I went up to the lab.
'Did you figure out why XANA was able to possess you and not us?' I asked.
'I have a theory, we've all been to Lyoko so maybe we can't be affected by XANA's possession' Yumi said.
'Maybe, but how do we fix it' Jeremy asked.
'Hmmm, I just might have the answer' Odd said
TIMELAPSE
SCANNER ROOM
Yumi, Aelita and I watched in amusement as Jeremy stepped out of the scanner looking disheveled.
'Well?' Odd said.
'That's the last time I ever set foot on Lyoko' Jeremy said marching of towards the elevator.
'Why, just because of a few Megatanks' Ulrich said.
'It's really just not my thing, I'll never be able to hack it. You know, I think I'd rather be possessed by XANA than to go back there. I'll just keep on the lookout for ghosts that's all' Jeremy said leaning against the elevator.
'Well, what did he look like on Lyoko?' Aelita asked.
'He looked-how can I saw this tactfully?' Odd said.
'Ridiculous' Ulrich said simply.
'That's the word' Odd said as we all started laughing.
Well all of us except Jeremy.
AELITA AND KATE'S DORM ROOM
'It doesn't bother you that I'm sleeping with Mister Puck right' Aelita said.
'No, not at all, I sleep with my ribbon sometimes' I said climbing into bed.
We both chuckled and I turned off my lamp.
'Goodnight Kate' Aelita said.
'Goodnight Aelita, I hope you have good dreams from now on' I said.
She smiled at me before turning off her lamp and lying down. I lied down on my bed and I realized that Ulrich still hadn't told what I was supposed to help him with while we were on Lyoko.
