Triple Trouble
"Jade I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Are you…working for Xana?" I asked.
Jade stared at me, surprised by my question. "Well…it's possible… But even if I were, I wouldn't be able to tell you."
"What do you mean by 'it's possible?'" I asked.
Jade sighed. "Peter… I've been blacking out a lot recently. I would lose the time of day, be late for classes. I've asked Patricia to not tell you, I didn't want to concern you. But no, I can honestly say from my knowledge I'm not working for Xana. I'm running late for class… Got to go." She walked out of the room. I stood there, in disbelief.
If Jade is working for Xana…she may not remember that she is… I need to talk to everyone, I thought.
Later in Jeremy's room
Jeremy and I gathered everyone, but Jade, in Jeremy's room.
"What's this all about Jeremy?" Aelita asked.
"And where's Jade?" Patricia asked.
"Well… we've decided to let you guys know this. For now, and until we can confirm or not confirm, Jade can no longer go onto Lyoko." Jeremy replied.
"How come?" Ulrich asked.
I looked at Aelita, she nodded.
"Jeremy and Peter have recently found out that Jade was possessed at the same time Michael Riley was just a few days ago. If that's the case, Xana's power is growing exponentially. Faster than any of us could have anticipated." Aelita explained.
"In English?" Odd asked.
"It looks like Xana is now able to control us, or at least one of us. But for now, it looks like Jade is a potential threat to the group." Jeremy replied.
"So, we just kick Jade out? Just like that?" Naomi asked.
"We have to… at least until we feel secure enough to allow Jade back in." Jeremy replied.
"Okay, I'll let Yumi know when I see her," Ulrich said.
"I'll keep an eye on her. It'll be easy since she's my roommate. We'll follow daily progress on her, and when the time comes, if we truly need her. We'll bring her on Lyoko missions." Aelita added.
"Right…" I trailed off.
A few weeks later
On Lyoko
We were already in the mountain sector. Aelita, Naomi, Patricia, and I were heading for the tower. Naomi and Patricia were defending us from the Blok's lasers. We heard a noise, we haven't heard for a while. It was the Scyphozoa.
"Watch out, if the Scyphozoa pulls Aelita into the way tower. It's all over. We can say goodbye, to the mountain sector and then… bye bye, Lyoko too."
"We won't let that happen," Naomi said determinedly. Naomi summoned a pink fireball, throwing it at one of the five Bloks. It exploded. Ulrich drove his Overbike down and balanced himself on it, and jumped off of it. It drove right past us and exploded. Bloks continued to fire at us, but now Ulrich, Patricia, and Naomi were defending us with their weapons. Ulrich winked at Aelita, as Naomi did the same to me. She looked over to Ulrich for permission, who nodded. Ulrich and Naomi triplicated, forming three separate versions of themselves. Ulrich and Naomi used their super speed, two of each of their clones were hit, but the real Ulrich and Naomi continued running. They flew into the air and kicked, Ulrich taking his saber stabbed it in the Blok's eye, Naomi taking her dagger, did the same.
"Impact!" Ulrich exclaimed. Two of the Bloks exploded. Only two remained flew over us and exclaimed
"Laser Arrow!" Even though he hit the Blok, he didn't get a bulls eye. I could tell Odd, looked upset as Yumi flew past him on her Overwing. Ulrich and Naomi super sprinted their way back to Aelita and I. Patricia was helping them, defending us. The three of them got hit by the lasers. Yumi hopped off of her Overwing, she threw her fan. Her fan hit the Blok, causing it to explode. Aelita and I continued to back up from the fight, but the last remaining Blok continued to fire at us. She used her creativity to block the lasers, by creating a boulder of rock. Yumi and Patricia used their telekinesis to take a hold of the stone and threw it at the Blok. Causing the Blok, to fall into the digital sea. Aelita and I jumped over the tentacles of the Scyphozoa. We continued to dodge them.
"Super Sprint!" Ulrich exclaimed. Ulrich and Naomi super sprinted their way to us, Ulrich sliced the saber and Patricia used her dagger throwing it a few of the tentacles, slicing them off.
"There you go, you two," Ulrich said. Odd flew over to us on his Overboard.
"Hey, what am I here? A groupie?" Odd asked.
In the scanners room
"That makes twelve for me. Anyone top that?" Ulrich asked.
"I got 10. Yumi?" Aelita asked.
"Oh, not many, fifteen. How about you Naomi?" Yumi asked.
"I got eleven, but it's only thanks to my copying diamond. You Peter?" Naomi asked.
"I think I got 10 as well," I replied.
Odd was punching in the code for the elevator to open.
"Odd, how many of Xana's monsters did you wipe out this week?" Yumi asked.
"Two," Odd replied glumly.
"That's all? What's going on? What's your problem?" Yumi asked.
"You know darn well. You've all got super powers. Telekinesis, Super Sprint, Triplicate, a copy Diamond, Fire and Lightning powers. You can all make stuff appear. Me, I've got zilch. The only power I've ever had was future flash, and it got wiped out when Jeremy was updating the supercomputer. And he never reprogramed it, because and I quote "useless." Odd explained. We walked into the elevator, and I pressed the button to go up. Odd put his hands in his pockets.
"So, just knock it off with your high scores and your low scores okay?"
At the vending machines
Ever since we told Jade she was no longer part of the group, she's been rather distant… I thought.
Jeremy, Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, Naomi, and I saw Odd walking to us. He passed us, walking to the vending machines.
"He's still sulking I guess," Yumi shrugged.
Odd put in a coin in the vending machine, but he forgot the cup, and his hot chocolate started to pour down. Odd groaned in annoyance.
"Oh, I don't believe it. Is the whole world trying to bring me down or what?" Odd put his head on his arm. Jeremy walked over to him, he placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, look I'm on your side. I've put a little something together, that's bound to cheer you up Odd." Jeremy mentioned.
"I hope it's nothing to eat because you're an awful cook," Odd said.
"No, it's a special power just for you and nobody else. Teleportation." Jeremy said.
Odd held out his arms as if he was going to hug Jeremy.
"You're the best Einstein. If I were a girl, I'd propose to you immediately."
On Lyoko
Aelita and I waited for Odd. Odd was virtualized and landed. He wiped the dust off of him.
"I'm standing by, Jeremy," Odd informed with his hands on his hips.
"This new power will allow you to travel instantly over short distances."
"Cool. How, does it work?" Odd asked.
"First, you have to visualize the place you want to go to. Okay?"
Odd looked around, he pointed over to the tall mountain in front of us.
"Like, that big mountain for instance?" Odd asked.
"Sure, why not? Next, you activate the program by saying the word: teleportation." Jeremy explained.
"Okay, teleportation," Odd called. Odd vanished along with a green light. The green light, along with Odd, appeared on the mountain.
"Wow! Fantastic!" Odd exclaimed.
Aelita and I looked over to where Odd teleported, something wasn't right.
"No, not fantastic at all," Aelita shook her head.
"I think we've got a problem, Einstein," I said.
"Uh – oh. Looks, like something's bugged up."
"Eh, okay. I'll try again." Odd said.
Aelita and I waved our hands, trying to get his attention.
"No, wait!" Aelita exclaimed.
"Odd, hold on just a minute!" I exclaimed.
"Teleportation," Odd said causing him to vanish along with the green light. He reappeared next to us, as well as the light.
"Yoo-hoo," Odd waved as we looked at him. "Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Yes," I answered.
"But honestly, one of you would have been enough. Look, up there." Aelita pointed showing another Odd on the mountain.
"Huh?" Both Odd's asked.
"And there." Aelita pointed from where Odd was virtualized.
"Huh? Wha?" The three Odd's asked.
"Jeremy, I take back my marriage proposal!" Odd exclaimed.
"Nobody panic. It's only a minor bug, I'll rematerialize you." Jeremy rematerialized one of the clones first.
In the lab
We were in the lab, the original Odd put his hands on his hips.
"Look on the bright side. Now, you've two more great buddies." Original Odd said.
"That's right." The Odd clones agreed in unison.
"Get real, that's three times as many bad jokes," Ulrich said.
"One Odd we can handle, three Odd's I just don't know," Patricia said.
"That's for sure," Naomi agreed.
"And too many Della Robbia's at school," Yumi said.
"Why don't the two Odd's lay low here? To stop from getting anyone suspicious? And the other Odd can go to school, as usual, and everything will be cool." Aelita suggested.
"Good idea, I'll stay here and try to find out what went wrong. Okay? Peter, I can use your help too here." Jeremy replied.
"Sounds fine to me," I nodded.
"No way Jose, it's lunch time, and we're starved. It's meatballs and gravy time." The original Odd said. We all raised our eyebrows in worry. The original Odd held his finger up.
"What if we hid in my room and went to the lunch room one at a time?"
"Great idea, nice one Odd." The Odd clones answered in unison.
"Thanks a lot, guys. I thought of it, so me first okay?" Original Odd asked.
"No, me I'm too hungry to wait." The first Odd clone replied.
"Forget it, me first. I'm starved." The second Odd clone said.
"Stop. Leave, this to me okay? Innie, meanie, mini, moe catch a Della Robbia by the toe, okay, you go." Ulrich pointed to the original Odd.
"Cool!" The original Odd exclaimed.
"By the way, since I'm staying here. You can have my lunch clone Odd." I said.
"Thanks." The first Odd clone smiled.
"And, I'll be staying too. So Odd number 2, you can have my portion." Naomi added.
"And, that leave's Jeremy's portion to me. Cool, it's even." The original Odd smiled.
"Just, try not to hog the food okay?" Patricia asked.
"I won't, I promise." The original Odd replied.
"Make up some excuses for us with Uncle Jim," I said.
"We will," Patricia said as the others left.
Naomi and I sat down, while Jeremy typed away at the computer.
"How have you been doing, with this whole Jade thing?" Naomi asked.
"Not too well, it's conflicting, to say the least. To be honest, that's why I was so upset when we thought she disappeared a few weeks ago," I replied.
"Well, I'm sure she's not working with Xana on her own free will. I'm sure Jeremy would have found out in some way." Naomi tried to reassure me.
"Not necessarily. The scanners are able to detect any abnormal frequencies during the transfers. Since Jade, use to go to on Lyoko missions a lot there should have been some type of warning. I've been running a program to try and find any hint of Xanafictation, but nothing." Jeremy explained, turning around in his chair.
"It just doesn't make since Einstein. Jade's not a traitor, yet I feel like I've forgotten something important about her." I said.
"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked.
"When we first met, she told me how Chardin was her father. But, I feel like I'm forgetting something. I just don't know what." I replied. Jeremy put his hands on his chin.
"Well, maybe it has to do something with where she's from. You did tell us, she's from this Earth right?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes, I did. I don't know, I'll figure it out eventually…" I trailed off.
"I'm sure you will," Jeremy nodded trying to reassure me. He turned around typing, trying to figure out what went wrong with teleportation program. Naomi put her head on my shoulder, I smiled.
"Oh no!" Jeremy exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Come over here you guys, and look at this," Jeremy replied. We got up and walked over to the computer. It seemed there was something definitely wrong with Odd's new power. Naomi and I looked at one another, concerned for the Odd's safety. Jeremy called the original Odd's number.
"This had better be important Jeremy."
"I've found out how to solve your teleportation bug problem. The three of you, each have to get into a scanner together, in order to fuse you back to one during the virtualization." Jeremy explained.
"Okay, I get it. For once, it sounds really easy."
"I wish there was, but there's a little problem. Your three entities are unstable. At a certain point, all three of you could disappear into thin air. Understand?" Jeremy asked.
"That's horrible. What, do we have to do?"
"Get back here to the computer lab right now, you and the terrible twins. If any of you is missing, the fusion is impossible." Jeremy replied.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll go find them."
Odd ended the call. Suddenly, the super scan started to pick up an activated tower. It confirmed that there was one.
"Oh great. That's all we need." Jeremy sighed. Jeremy called Yumi from the computer.
"Head over to the factory, Xana's activated a tower. Don't tell Jade, though." Jeremy said.
"Okay Jeremy, I'm on it," Yumi said.
Ulrich's ID popped up on the computer, Jeremy answered.
"Yes, Ulrich?" Jeremy asked.
"Odd's been frozen, I'm with the girls, but we have to try to get him," Ulrich informed.
"Petrified? Where? That means a change of plans." Jeremy started typing as he called the original Odd.
"Odd, we've got trouble. Xana's activated a tower." Jeremy informed.
"What? That's all we need and what's more, the other me isn't in my room."
"Well, you better find him and then go and get number 3 who's petrified on campus. Or else, you'll never be able to become reunited and become one in the same." Jeremy said.
"Great idea. But how should I know, where he went?"
"Figure it out, what would you do if you had a free day, and you were you?" Jeremy asked.
"Me? Well, I would either go to the movies, or Presto Burger."
"There you go, now you know where to look," Jeremy said when Aelita's voice was heard on the monitor.
"Jeremy, we're here."
"We'll head to down to the scanners," I told him.
"Okay, I'll start the virtualization," Jeremy said typing. Naomi and I climbed down the ladder shoot. Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita were virtualized onto Lyoko.
"I hope Jade is safe," Patricia seemed worried as we stepped off of the ladder.
"Well if she's working for Xana, I'm sure she is," I stated as the scanners reopened. Patricia walked in the left scanner, I walked in the middle, and Naomi walked in the right one. The scanners closed.
"Transfer: Patricia. Transfer: Peter. Transfer: Naomi. Scanner: Patricia, Scanner: Peter, Scanner: Naomi. Virtualization!" Jeremy exclaimed. The bright light enveloped me in the scanner. The gust of wind commenced and I was virtualized onto Lyoko's mountain sector. We landed safely. We could see easily the activated tower, which wasn't too far.
"I see it, the activated tower is over there." Aelita pointed. We started running toward the long direct path. We began running, but a Megatank rolled its way in front of the tower, blocking it. Yumi and Patricia were running ahead of us. The Megatank opened and fired its laser, causing both of them to be devirtualized. Aelita and I hid behind one big rock, while Ulrich and Naomi hid behind another big rock. The Megatank continued to fire its laser in different directions, trying to devirtualize another one of us again.
"This is crazy, we can't move. We're stuck." Ulrich said.
"I know what you mean. We're literally stuck between a rock and hard place." Naomi added shaking her head.
"Not for long," Aelita said summoning her energy fields, she connected them together causing a pink field of energy in between her two energy fields. She jumped in the middle, holding the laser with her energy fields.
"You two, go on!" Aelita exclaimed. Naomi and Ulrich nodded, Ulrich used his super sprint and Naomi did the same.
"Super Sprint!" Naomi and Ulrich exclaimed.
I jumped next to Aelita using my fireballs, I connected them like Aelita did with her energy fields. Thanks to the extra help, Aelita and I were able to hold back the laser. Ulrich and Naomi super sprinted down the laser's path but stopped.
"Aelita, Peter. Watch out behind you." Ulrich warned. We looked to see another megatank behind us. I jumped out of the way, and Aelita stopped using her energy fields. Now we had double the lasers, blocking our path to the tower. I was once again by the big rock.
"This is just ridiculous, we're never going to get there," I sighed shaking my head.
Thankfully, the megatank guarding the tower accidentally shot the megatank behind us, causing it to explode. Ulrich and Naomi continued to use their super sprint, dodging the lasers. They once again stopped, and hid behind a big rock. There was still some ways to go for them.
"Super Sprint!" Ulrich and Naomi exclaimed, using their super sprint again. They hid behind a rock and continued down the path. Naomi followed Ulrich, as they raced along the side of the path way. They rushed back up and ran up close to the Megatank. Naomi took out her dagger and Ulrich took his sword. Naomi threw her knife and at the same time Ulrich jumped on the megatank and stabbed it. The two flew back from the explosion, Ulrich's sword and Naomi's dagger, slid across the ground.
"Go ahead you two, the coast is clear," Naomi informed.
Aelita and I came forward, but we saw another megatank coming from behind them.
"Ulrich, Naomi. Watch out." Aelita warned.
Ulrich and Naomi were about to get their weapons, but they were destroyed by the Megatank's laser. Ulrich and Naomi sighed in annoyance.
"Just my luck, I didn't have time to copy Patricia's Shuriken today," Naomi said. The megatank started rolling, Ulrich and Naomi started running from it.
"Energy field!" Aelita exclaimed summoning her energy field. I gathered my fireball, we threw our attacks at the megatank, but it didn't stop it or slow it down.
"Super spri- ow!" Ulrich exclaimed out before he and Naomi were rolled over and devirtualized.
"It's between the three of you now, Aelita, Peter,"
"Yes I know, and he's pretty tough," Aelita said while behind the rock. The megatank, got caught between the rocks. We managed to make another turn and summoned our attacks. We threw them at the Megatank, but still had no effect on it. The megatank started firing its laser again, Aelita and I summoned our attacks, but unfortunately, it still had no effect. Thankfully, it seemed one Odd flew on his Overboard and flew past us.
"Step aside you two, and let an expert do the job!" Odd called out. Odd turned back making his way toward the megatank. He fired a single laser arrow and managed to make a hit, the megatank exploded.
"Yeah! Get ready, you two!" Odd exclaimed flying towards the tower. Two Bloks appeared and started firing its laser at Odd. He jumped off of the Overboard and shot one of his laser arrows at the Blok on the left, it exploded. He then landed on the other Blok, which tried to look for him. He bent down and waved in front of the Blok.
"Bye-bye," Odd wave his head, then he fired his laser arrows at the monster, causing it to explode. Odd jumped off of it in time, landing safely.
"My prince's tower and my lady's tower, straight ahead." Odd joked, gesturing the tower as we ran past him.
Hysterical, Odd I thought. Aelita and I moved into the tower, we lite up the first platform. We started to fly up to the second platform.
"Hurry you two." Jeremy urged.
Aelita and I stepped on the second platform. We placed our hands on our respective panels.

"Tower deactivated," Aelita said, the files going down.
A big white bubble soon appeared, signaling the return to the past.
Back in the lunch room
We were in the lunchroom, eating our meals. Jade wasn't with us, she was eating alone a few tables ahead of us.
"I finally understood, what went wrong with the teleportation process. If you want, I can reboot the program, with no bugs this time." Jeremy offered, Odd stopped eating.
"No thanks," Odd said.
"Are you sure?" Aelita asked.
"It could help you," I added.
"Yup I sure am, and I don't need any new powers. You saw that last battle of mine huh? I am a top gun, a real fighting machine. I mean, a guy like me doesn't need special powers." Odd said in a relaxing manner.
"Yeah you're strong, very funny, and handsome. But most of all, you're modest." Yumi said.
"Right, you hit the nail right on the head. In fact, you might say I'm one of a kind." Odd smiled.
Later
It was just about time to go to bed when someone knocked on my door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It's Jeremy. May I come in?" Jeremy asked.
"Of course," I replied, opening the door for him. Jeremy came in with his laptop again.
"Mind if I take a seat? I just want to show you something." Jeremy said.
"Help yourself," I stated with a smile as Jeremy took my chair and sat. He opened his laptop and turned it around.
"What's this?" I asked. It seemed to be some sort of graph, but I couldn't tell what it meant.
"Well, you see these points here and here?" Jeremy pointed to the red dots on the screen.
"Yeah?"
"These are points I made, to determine a person's normal brain wave during the transfers. Everyone's is okay, now see this green one?" Jeremy pointed to a green dot, which seemed rather high compared to the other dots.
"I assume that's Jade's dot?"
"Yes, it is. Her pattern was typical in the beginning, but at some point, it began to flux. I marked down, the approximate point of time when that happened. Do you recognize the date?"
"Isn't that the day I had minor brain surgery?" I asked.
"Yes, it is… Peter, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I believe Jade was trying to cause harm to you then." Jeremy replied.
"I can't believe it…" I trailed off.
"I know, but the way she is I only know one thing. Peter… based on my calculations… Jade is working for Xana…" Jeremy trailed off.
I sighed in frustration.
Jade… Why…? I thought.
And done! The final two chapters will come soon. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to review!
