Shepherd residence. 2346 hrs (11:46 p.m.) Yelling could be heard from the inside of brandon and ashley's house ashley and brandon were fighting. "Why didn't you stop them, they could have been killed" Ashley yelled. "They needed to realize how powerful they actually were, and I wanted Grimm to know that he can be beaten" Brandon yelled. "So you have your kids and the kids of your friends put thier life on the line just to humiliate Grimm" Ashley yelled . "Grimm needs to leave us alone he has no right to constantly mess with me XANA or anyone" Brandon yelled. "Grimm isn't the point our kids safety is, you could have stopped them, but you let them risk thier life just to see if Grimm was able to be hurt" Ashley yelled. "I couldn't think of anything else, I'm not alexia I can't think of several plans at once" Brandon yelled. "Alexia wouldn't be stupid enough to let you risk your kids life either" Ashley yelled. "How would you know, I knew her a lot better than you did, She would have found a way to save the kids if they didn't manage to beat Grimm" Brandon yelled. "I doubt she would let you do that brandon she wouldn't it wouldn't be like her" Ashley said her voice lowering to sad and very hollow tone. "If alexia were still here Grimm would be dead" Brandon yelled. If she was so great why didn't you hook up with her" Ashley yelled her voice still sad and hollowed. "I wish I did" Brandon yelled.
There was silence ashley gazed at brandon shocked at what he had just said to her. "Ashley I...I'm" Brandon tried to speak, but he was confused he shocked himself that he said that to ashley. "Ashley I didn't mean to... "Just leave me alone" Ashley said walking past him and heading outside tears flooding her eyes. Brandon picked up his phone and called odd. "Hello" Odd yawned. "Odd I need a favor" Brandon said his voice shattered just like his mind and heart. "What's up" Odd asked. "I need you to come get jennifer and zoah and take them to your house for the night" Brandon said. "Why?" Odd asked. "Ashley and I... please just please just do this for me okay" Brandon said tears flooding his eyes. "Alright" Odd said hanging up. Brandon walked to the closet and grabbed his jacket and waited for his kids to get down stairs. When odd arrived jennifer and zoah looked at thier father and began to worry of what was going to happen. As odd drove off brandon waited a few minutes before he left. Brandon walked around and headed straight for the east side of town. Brandon walked up a hill and found ashley sitting on the ground staring at the sky her eyes still full of tears. Brandon didn't know what to say so he just walked up to her. Brandon sat down next to ashley and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Ashley I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking I shouldn't have said what I did" Brandon said his voice shattered. Ashley looked at brandon and placed her hand on his and closed her eyes.
On lyoko: "Just as I planned it, everything as gone according to plan" Grimm said chuckling evily. "In his weakened mental state he will be so easy to destroy both physically and emotionally" Grimm said dissappearing. Back at the hill: Brandon and ashley were still sitting next to each other nither one of them spoke. Brandon had tears running down his face. Ashley didn't blame brandon for what he said, but she still felt bad that he said it. Ashley began to cry as she leaned on brandon's shoulder. A cold wind began to sweep by them. Ashley began to shake she was frezzing. "Here" Brandon said removing his jacket and handing it to ashley. Brandon drapped it on her shoulders he wasn't affected by the cold. Brandon smiled as he and ashley sat there the wind passed, but the storm came. "Well isn't this touching" An all to familiar voice said from behind them. When they turned Grimm was standing there grinning at them. "what do you want?" Brandon yelled getting up. "I want you dead I thought you would know that by now" Grimm said smiling. "Ashley get out of here" Brandon said. "Brandon I... "Go" Brandon said. "Be careful" Ashley said as she got up and ran. "Now its just you and me" Grimm said. "Just the way it should be... brother" Brandon said. "So you've figured it out" Grimm said. "Yeah its time to finish you for good" Brandon yelled as he charged at Grimm his older brother.
Ashley continued to run, but she stopped and looked back she could still see brandon and Grimm fighting. She was scared, but she wasn't going to let brandon fight alone. Ashley ran back to brandon to help him. "There" Grimm yelled as he struck brandon in the side of his neck. Brandon fell to the ground choking. "Grimm" A voice from behind him called. When Grimm turned ashley jumped him. "Pheonix kick" She yelled as she kicked him in the side of the neck knocking him to the ground. "Ashley I told to run" Brandon said getting up. "What and let you have all the fun, I don't think so" Ashley said. Brandon smiled at her as he waited for Grimm to get up. "So you want to die together" Grimm said as he rose to his feet. "Bring it" Brandon said assuming the same stance Grimm was in. "Brandon when we win you're going to have to tell me why he knows you're style" Ashley said. "Alright" Brandon agreed. Grimm began his attack brandon sidestepped him and ashley attacked him from the side. The battle continued for an hour until Grimm ran. "Brandon and ashley were out of breath, but they never felt better. "Brandon you have to tell me how he knows you're style" Ashley said. "Call the others to the factory I want them to know as well" Brandon said. In 30 minutes everyone was at the factory and brandon was about to let every know who Grimm really was. "Why did you call us here this early?" Karen asked. "Its something all of you should know even the kids" Brandon said. "Its about Grimm" He continued. "What about him?" Aelita asked. "He's my older brother" Brandon said looking at all of them.
"WHAT?" Odd yelled. "That creep is your brother?" Yumi asked. "Yeah" Brandon said. "Well what now?" Jeremy asked. "We can't do anything until he attacks again" Brandon told him. "Well its time for the kids to get to school, so lets go" Karen said. They left and went to where they were supposed to be, but Grimm wasn't on lyoko he was at kadic. Grimm walked into sissi's office and told her that her cousin was at an old factory a few blocks from the school. "Why would he be there?" Sissi asked. "He has been hiding a secret there with his friends kaishein, stones, della-robbia, stern, ishiyama, and belpois for many years" Grimm said. "I always wondered why they acted so strange while we were in school, but never figured out why" Sissi said. William walked in and told sissi that brandon called him and wanted him to relay a message to sissi. "He said to watch out for a guy called Grimm" William said. "So he's already figured it out" Grimm said. "Who are you?" William asked staring at Grimm. "William run" Sissi yelled as she saw Grimm pull a knife from his pocket. Grimm jumped at william knocking him down then he turned to sissi and kidnapped her. "Tell brandon if he wants to see his cousin again to meet me on lyoko" Grimm said to william as he jumped out the window.
William called brandon and told him what happened. "He's gone to far" Brandon said hanging up the phone. Wiliam went to brandon's house to find out what was going on. When william arrived at brandon's house he saw that the door was left open, whehn he walked inside he looked around. Nothing had been stolen or anything, no one was there. William heard something from upstairs and he went to see what it was. When william entered brandon and ashley's bedroom he saw brandon rummaging through his closet. "Dammit where is it" Brandon yelled. "Hey what in the hell is going on here?" William asked brandon as he continued to look through his closet. "Got it" Brandon said stepping out of his closet. "What is that?" William shouted. Brandon was holding a gun that was 2 feet in length and weighed 45 pounds. Brandon grabbed a box of ammo off the shelf and loaded his gun. "What are you doing?" William yelled. "Where is he?" Brandon asked not looking at william. "He said he would wait on lyoko" William replied. Brandon picked up a radio and pushed to another frequency and said "Its time". "Got it" A voice from the radio said. Brandon got up and headed out side. "Hold on what is going on here?" William yelled. "Follow me if want to know" Brandon said getting in his car. William got in the car with brandon and he drove to the factory. They got out and headeed for the scanners. "XANA now" Brandon said. The scanners were opened and sissi was materealized in front of him. "Well now your back" A voice from behind them said.
