A/N Ok, Real show ended at E95. But am I the only one to see the cliffhanger? Gah, how can they not have a S5? I figure hey, I see the cliffhanger ending, how can they not have it? Well, they might not so I will write it!
The group was having a meeting in the Control Room. "But how did Xana know where he was and why did he lead William there?" Aelita is worried about her father and Odd.
"I don't think he knew where they were. He had an idea but didn't know where exactly. He led William in their general direction and used William to pin point out where they were."
"Which means if we find Franz and Odd then Xana finds them and will try to destroy them." Putting the group between a rock and a hard place. Ulrich wants to get rid of the clone but if they got the real Odd hurt or worse… "But we need to get Odd and Franz to Earth."
"Without Xana getting them." Aelita looks at the monitor. "Maybe if I try to contact him?"
"But he talked to me, I think it was him." William wasn't sure. "The voice didn't sound like an old guy."
"You don't know what Franz sounds like how would you know? And you said you heard it in your head."
"I know but the voice it sounded high pitched like a woman's. Don't ask me how it could sound like that because I don't know. Maybe because I had Kiwi merged with me? A dog's hearing is better then our own and stuff."
"Well it has to be Franz Hopper. No one else knows about Lyoko or could go to the internet like we do."
"Unless it's Antea." Everyone turns to Jeremie.
"She, the government got her."
"And did what to her? Aelita you know all that we found ends at when the government got her and tried to use her to get Franz to turn over the Super Computer." Aelita stares at Jeremie.
"If they had a Super Computer they wouldn't need this one." They get into an argument.
The group sits and listens for a few minutes then interrupt the two. "This isn't helping us!" Yumi's yell shuts the two up.
"It doesn't matter who it is they have Odd. We have to find the craft and Odd again. Maybe find a way to get Odd onto the last Nav Skid."
"But if we do that Xana will find them Jeremie. I don't like having the clone around but if we lead Xana to Odd we might not be as lucky as we were last time." Ulrich looks at the time on his phone. "It's almost time for curfew."
"You guys go I'll work a little longer."
"Jeremie you've spent almost all your time here. Are you even doing your homework?"
"That isn't important. I can make up for it with my test scores." Jeremie starts to work on the control panel ignoring the others. They get on the elevator and the doors close.
"Aelita you have to help him." Aelita stares at Ulrich.
"If he wished you never existed then tried to take out Yumi would you want to work with him?"
"I, we're just really good friends." Ulrich and Yumi blush.
"What ever." Aelita and the others leave the Factory.
Jeremie ignores the time and works well past midnight. He had to find Odd to save the relationship with the woman he loved. Even if Odd was a rival for her heart he had to find him.
The next couple days Jeremie was doing worse in school. His parents were called and they call him. "Jeremie we're worried what's going on?"
"Nothing. I've just been busy."
"With what? Your school work is very important to us. You used to do so well but your grades have dropped. Tell us please?"
"It's nothing to worry about. I've just been busy." Jeremie was on his way to the Factory. "Don't worry."
"But we will honey it's our job." His mother tries to get Jeremie to talk but he just keeps telling her not to worry.
Xana decides to attack. He activates a Tower and sends a Ghost to Earth.
"Stay here stupid thing." Ulrich cuffs the clone to Odd's bed. "I'll be back in a couple hours ok?"
"Back couple in a hours ok." Ulrich sighs then leaves the room.
Sissi, being suspicious had been listening. It almost sounded like Ulrich thought Odd wasn't Odd but something else. Once he leaves she picks the lock. When she steps into the room a Ghost comes out of the light and possesses her. "Hello clone." She smiles evilly as Xana's symbol appears in her eyes.
"Hi Sissi. Normal acting others front."
"Don't worry I know you're a clone. You're going to help me." Sissi sparks with energy and destroys the cuffs holding the clone to the bed. "Come with me."
"With me come ok yes." The clone follows Sissi out of the room.
Jeremie hears the Super Scan beeping and pulls his laptop out. "Ice Sector. What is Xana doing?" He gets his cell phone out and calls Ulrich. "Xana's attacking."
"Man I just got the clone out of my hair." Ulrich was ready to spar with Yumi. "Yumi's here, I'll call Aelita."
"Thanks." They hang up and make their calls.
Sissi leads Odd to the middle of the campus. "Now clone you're going to do as I say."
"Sissi says?"
"Yes. Sissi says hit me." The clone does. People around are stunned. Sissi whispers again. "Sissi says tackle me and beat me."
"Tackle and beat me says Sissi." The clone tackles her and starts to beat on her. Sissi screams.
"Help! He's gone crazy!" Xana has to keep from laughing as people rush over to pull the clone off of her. "When my father hears about this you'll be expelled!" Students notice Sissi's voice was different but ignore it as they deal with the clone they thought was Odd Della Robbia.
"Crazy gone help?" The clone is dragged away from Sissi by several students. "Father hears expelled when this?" The clone sparks a little.
"Whoa!" A student is hit with a spark.
"Odd!" Ulrich sees the clone and runs over to him. "What happened?"
"He attacked Sissi!"
"What? He wouldn't do that." Unless he was possessed by Xana again. "Odd you're in trouble."
"Trouble? She told me to tackle her." Odd starts to act smart which was very odd for it. "I did as she said." It sparks again.
"What the heck is he doing?" Students back away from Odd.
"Heck his the what?" The clone was stupid again.
"What is going on here!?" Jim sees the group of students.
"Odd attacked Sissi."
"That doesn't sound like him."
"We saw it!"
"He hit me for no reason." Ulrich knows now that Sissi was possessed.
"Odd is this true?"
"She asked for it." Which was true but Jim takes it another way.
"Whatever she said or did to you does not give you the right to hit her or any other student. Odd is grabbed by Jim and dragged away.
"This is bad." Ulrich runs away. Sissi watches him run into the woods.
"Sissi are you ok?" Herve and Nicholas run up to her. Herve is out of breath. "What happened?"
"Fools he could have killed me! Aren't you supposed to be my friends? Where were you?"
"Enjoying a wonderful afternoon experience."
"Fishing again? Get William and Yumi I need them to know what that idiot did to me!"
"Where would they be?"
"At the Factory on the river you fish at. Where you saw Odd and Aelita run off to." Herve and Nicholas run off. "Keh keh keh." Sissi runs off into the woods after Ulrich.
Aelita makes it too the Factory and runs in. Herve and Nicholas see her but wait for Yumi and William.
Ulrich runs through the woods and makes it too the sewer entrance. As he lifts the lid Sissi leaps from behind and tackles him. "No, Xana!"
"Yes!" Sissi pulls her hand back and it sparks. "Goodbye Ulrich."
"No!" Ulrich goes to block the punch. Sissi punches his right arm shattering the bone. "Aaaa!" Sissi pulls her hand back and tries to crush his skull again but Ulrich uses his left arm to block again and the bone is shattered.
"Good enough." Sissi gets off of Ulrich. With shattered arms he couldn't climb down or up a ladder. He couldn't make it to the Factory and that was all Xana needed. Sissi goes into the sewers.
Yumi and William climb out of the sewers and see Herve and Nicholas. "Uh, what are you doing here?" Yumi backs away thinking they were possessed.
"Sissi told us to tell you Odd attacked her."
"What? But he wouldn't do that." Yumi gets worried even more now. The last time the clone attacked it nearly killed her.
"He did everyone saw it. Jim took him to Mr. Delmas."
"That's not good." William is anxious. "We um, have to go in there." William points at the Factory.
"Wow I thought you liked Ulrich." Yumi blushes.
"They're just really good friends." William smiles. "If you two don't mind we'd like to be alone."
"William don't, shut up." Yumi stares at him angry at how he made it sound. "Let's go." She runs past the two and goes into the Factory.
"Must be going." William runs after Yumi.
"Wow Sissi is going to want to know about this." Herve and Nicholas run back to the school to look for Sissi.
Jeremie has already sent Aelita who went straight to the Scanner Room. Yumi and William stop at the Control Room. "Who made it already?"
"Aelita. Was Ulrich with you?"
"No but I think Xana possessed the clone again."
"Not good. What did it do?"
"Attacked Sissi."
"Not Ulrich?" Yumi shrugs her shoulders. "Let me call him." Jeremie makes the call but Ulrich can't reach for his phone to answer. "I guess he's not coming hurry you two." Yumi and William get on the elevator.
"I'm sorry Yumi. I just acted like that to make sure they didn't think about following us."
"Whatever." They step off the elevator and get in the Scanners.
"Transfer Yumi, Transfer William, Scanner Yumi, Scanner William, and virtualization." They land in the Ice Sector near Aelita.
"Where to Jeremie." William gets on the Overbike as Yumi gets on the Overwing. Aelita was already on the Overboard.
"You're close. Go north it should be there."
"There's nothing there Jeremie." Yumi moves up and still sees no activated Tower.
"But, the Super Scan shows it is there." Jeremie checks the coordinates again. "The Super Scan says it is there."
"We don't see it." Aelita closes her eyes then opens them wondering if Xana was playing a trick. She tries to do what she had before when things were invisible. "Nothing. Jeremie you're messing up."
"No I'm not!" Jeremie doesn't know what is going on.
Sissi collapses as the black mist leaves her.
On Lyoko the ground shakes as pulsations appear. The activated Tower appears as does its guards. Six Tarantulas and the Razor Head.
"Whoa." William is shocked. "How did Xana do that?"
"I don't know." Aelita is scared. That kind of power could be more then they could handle. Not only that but now they were dealing with an army of Xana's monsters without Ulrich.
"Be careful. I, Aelita this might be it." Jeremie knows his friends were outclassed. William was still pretty new and Ulrich was their best fighter. Xana was calculated.
"We'll do this." Yumi creates her fans. "Hai!" She throws her fans at a Tarantula but another one shoots them knocking them off course.
"Surrender now and give Xana the dog or be destroyed." Razor Head gets in a fighting stance.
"Never!" William gets his Zanbatou out. "We'll destroy you and him!" William charges his sword then swings it. The energy blade comes out but the Razor Head dodges it. It continues and hits a Tarantula cutting it in half and destroying it.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws but misses a Tarantula.
"Then so be it, destroy them!" The Tarantulas open fire as the Razor Head charges William.
The Lyoko Warriors battle the Razor Head and Tarantulas but are losing. "Yumi you just lost another twenty points!"
"I know Jeremie!" Yumi can barely do more then block lasers with her fans. "We need help!"
"I tried calling Ulrich again but he won't answer his phone." Jeremie gets more and more worried. His friends were losing.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws the energy orb but misses. A laser hits the Overboard and it devirtualizes. As she falls she moves her hand over her watch and her wings appear. She zooms across the Sector flying low. "Energy Field!" She throws two energy orbs and destroys two Tarantulas as she flies by them.
"Goodbye." Razor Head destroys William.
"No!" Jeremie sees his profile flash on the screen. "Not good."
"Send me back Jeremie."
"I can't until the cool down period is over."
"Man I should have dodged that last attack." William sits down and waits.
Aelita is dodging lasers as the Razor Head chases after Yumi. There was no fighting just running away. There was nothing they could do Xana was going to win and it would be the end for them.
Jeremie is about to give up all hope and send himself when he sees something appear on the map. "Not another monster." Jeremie starts to bring up the auto transfer program.
"Jeremie there's something coming this way!" Aelita sees it. It was a cone shaped craft. Yumi recognizes it.
"Franz Hopper!" Jeremie stops.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Yumi sees something is launched from the craft. It flies through the air before crashing into the Sector. It bounces across the Sector. The Razor Head leaps over it as it bounces near it. The object crashes into a Tarantula destroying it. "That was helpful but we need more." Yumi sees the Razor Head recover. She throws her fans at it but it dodges them and gets ready to attack her.
"Back off ugly!" Something, someone leaps out of the object. "Laser Arrow!" It misses the Razor Head but the person fires more.
"Odd!" Aelita is stunned. It looked like Odd but was taller, bigger muscles. The tail was longer, the ears were farther down on his head where his normal ears would be. He attacks the Razor Head up close and actually holds his own.
"Watch out!" Yumi's warning is in time and Aelita dodges lasers being fired from a Tarantula.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb and destroys a Tarantula. Yumi throws her fans and destroys the last Tarantula. Aelita could run into the activated Tower but stops and watches Odd fight the Razor Head.
"Come on that the best you got?" Odd dodges an attack and kicks the Razor Head hard in the chest. He spins on his right foot and does a roundhouse kick. The Razor Head blocks it. "Better." Odd punches the Razor Head in the stomach then goes to upper cut it but stops. The Razor Head seems confused Odd could have hit it hard but stopped. "Gotcha!" Odd fires a Laser Arrow catching the Razor Head off guard and destroying it. "Odd one Ugly zero." He does a little boxing action.
"Odd!" Aelita runs over to him and hugs him.
"Hey Princess." Odd hugs her back hard. "Great to see you, and you too of course Yumi." Odd pulls away from Aelita and does a little bow. "What do you think of the upgrades?"
"But, how?" Yumi is excited but nervous. This was too easy.
"I don't know. Ask whoever it was on the Nautilus."
"The what?"
"The ship. They told me it was the Nautilus."
"Who are they, my father?"
"I think so. I heard two voices, maybe three, not sure. I was out of it until I think a couple days ago."
"Wait Odd what happened?" Jeremie sees his card and sees Odd now has 120 life points.
"I don't know. I remember falling into the Digital Sea then I woke up on a submarine hooked up to a bunch of machines. There were voices in my head but I never saw any one. There was a window and I was told they were showing me a Replica you missed."
"What? There are more?"
"They said Xana disconnected them from the internet after making them just in case. Smarter then you thought huh Einstein?"
"I never thought of it."
"Neither did they until the Replicas appeared. They showed me them and upgraded me to help us fight Xana."
"But who are they?" Odd shrugs his shoulders. "I, I'm so sorry." Aelita hugs him again.
"Don't worry Princess Xana almost had me. Einstein you really need to work on keeping Xana out of the Super Computer's main programs. One of the voices said they would help you with that soon."
"Wait, he, you mean Xana did something to your programs?" Aelita looks up at Odd.
"Well yeah Princess did you think Einstein would have just let me fall into the Digital Sea? Kind of hard explaining my disappearing." Aelita looks away feeling terrible for the way she acted towards Jeremie.
"We didn't have to we made a clone." Yumi looks Odd over. He was taller, bigger, stronger on Lyoko would he have changed on Earth? "But I'm sure Ulrich will be glad to get rid of it."
"Speaking of Ulrich I still can't get in contact with him. He may be hurt." Jeremie debates whether to do a return or not.
"Herve and Nicholas said the clone attacked Sissi. Odd will be in trouble if we don't do a return."
"Ok, one second." Jeremie brings up the program. "Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up reversing time.
The group is at the Control Room after finding Odd was still on Lyoko. Jeremie brings him back and he joins the others. "Wow." Aelita and the others are stunned. Odd was taller, bigger, stronger on Earth. Whatever Franz Hopper had done had affected him in a major way. "You're um, wow." Odd's smile makes Aelita and Yumi blush. He seemed to have a power about him that made both very interested in him.
"So guys what do you think? Not so svelte now am I?" Odd flexes his arms. "But I am hungry wonder how much I can pack in now."
"Odd um, you, people will wonder." Aelita can't help but stare.
"I know I told them that they said don't worry. I had a growth spurt." Odd smiles. "Pretty cool huh?"
"But how?" Aelita tries to look away but can't keep herself from staring.
"I don't know. But they said they could do it to all of us."
"Do what, upgrade us?" Odd nods. "I don't know if I'd want that."
"Scared Yumi?" She stares at Ulrich but William answers for her.
"So what if she is? I'd be to. The last time I was upgraded I was possessed by Xana. We'd be putting our lives in the hands of people we don't know. And it took them a long time to do you Odd could one of us be gone that long?"
"I couldn't let a clone be around my family."
"And I'm needed to deactivate Towers."
"I don't want to do it." Yumi, Aelita, and William refuse.
"Well I'll do it. Have you deal with a clone." Ulrich wonders what he would look like after being upgraded.
"Cool. No idea when it could happen though they just said they'd send Jeremie some stuff when they could. Xana's after them so they have to be careful." Odd goes over to the elevator. "I'm ready for dinner."
"Let me deactivate the Tower so your clone won't steal your dinner." Jeremie is in a good mood. Odd confirmed that Xana messed with his programs and Odd was back. Now he could focus on destroying Xana and maybe work things out with Aelita.
A/N Still waiting on my Muse so here is the next episode of CL. Will it really be that easy? Or is there something else going on… Or was I just wondering what to do with Odd? After all for me fighting Xana is kind of secondary. The side stories are what I am interested in. The love triangles, Antea, Franz, so forth. Of course I could be saying that to throw you off the trail of the real story! Mwahahahahahahahahaha!
