As Odd was coming to, he could hear the voices of his captors. "This was too easy, I was hoping he'd put up a bit more resistance to the Chloroform…when did Devian say he was coming again?" one voice asked. "Give him time mon ami, Devian will get here…when he gets here." Another one responded, Odd opened his eyes slightly to see two shadowed figures in front of him, one of them looked at him and said, "Hey, he's waking up!"
Odd looked now saw his captors in full light, all except their faces which were covered by masks. "Did the little baby enjoy his nap?" one of them asked him in a taunting voice, Odd didn't answer. The masked person started gently slapping him in the face saying, "What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" Odd then stepped on the guys' foot. The masked man yelped in his reaction, he then looked at Odd, "Why you little—!?" the masked man hissed, he then pulled out a switch blade and started looming towards Odd. But the other guy put him in a Half-Nelson, "Warlock…don't hurt him, Devian might still need him, relâcher, relax mon ami."
Warlock stopped struggling and put away the switch blade; he then grabbed Odd by the shirt collar and said, "You're one very lucky prick."
BACK AT THE FACTORY…
Roderick arrived back at the factory, Audra looked troubled about something. "What's going on Audra?" Roderick asked, Audra looked at him, "its Odd Roderick…he's gone missing."
"I knew something didn't feel right!" Roderick thought, he quickly went down to the scanners…Ulrick and Yumi were down there. "Hey Roderick, we have to talk about your friend Audra." Ulrick commented, "Guys, Audra is not our enemy…this has LEGION's handy-work written all over it!" Roderick commented.
"Yeah, well I still don't trust her." Ulrick argued, Roderick clenched his fists, "Audra defected from LEGION…just like me, if you have a problem with her…you have a problem with me!" Roderick argued back.
"That's it…I've had it up to here with you!" Ulrick shouted, bringing his hand up to his collar bone…then he went into a karate stance. "You wanna' go?! Alright then…APPENA PORTARLO!" (Translation: JUST BRING IT!) and went into more of a Kung Fu stance.
But before either of them could strike Yumi put herself between them, "Yumi…get out of the way!" Ulrick argued. She gave both of them a sharp look, "Both of you just settle down…beating the life out of each other isn't going to help find Odd!"
Roderick nodded, "She's right Ulrick, first thing is to tell Jeremy…next is to scan the system, find out if there's anything wrong with the system…if not, then going back to Lyoko will be the next."
BACK AT THE SCHOOL…
Jeremy had just been dropped off by the limo why he was confronted by Roderick and the others, "Hey guys…what's going on?" Jeremy asked. "Jeremy…something has happened." Roderick answered, he then started filling Jeremy in on what had happened in Lyoko and about Odd's disappearance.
"And you're sure this is LEGION's handiwork?" Jeremy asked. Roderick nodded, "Ulrick thinks Audra stabbed us in the back, but I know her enough that she'd never do that…but I also think there may be a glitch in the system, best check it out first."
LEHNOX MANSION…
Michel was analyzing Jeremy's results for treating the worm virus, he then activate a hidden TV. Now this was unbeknownst to Jeremy, Michel had put a hidden camera in that room. "Ingenious…but predictable," Michel thought to himself, "I put flags in the program to help him along, but he's going more out of hacker instinct…it's almost like he's ignoring the flags and going his own path, an admiral trait…but for what I'm going to offer him, he better be used to taking orders." A smile curled up on Michel's face, suddenly the phone rang. Michel picked it up, "Ahoy-hoy." He answered, "Really…interesting…does he have any idea where he is? Hmmm…Okay, tell Tao to keep his patients from waning…see you soon, Ta-ta." and with that he hung up. He then put on his black trench coat and called for his limo to pick him up; Camryn stopped him at the door. "Should I give you an umbrella sir? The Weather Forecast said there maybe a 70% chance of rain." He asked.
"I'll bear it Camryn…you just look after Sabrina while I'm gone okay." Michel responded.
BACK AT THE FACTORY…
Jeremy checked the system at least five times, nothing seemed to be wrong. "What are you up to LEGION…what exactly are you trying to gain in this?" Jeremy asked himself. Aelita suddenly came on screen and said, "I may have found something…a program I can't recognize."
"I'll send it to Roderick, maybe he'll know what it is." Jeremy suggested.
RODERICK'S ROOM…
Roderick received the program, he then called Jeremy, "Got the program…and I do what it is…it's a tapping system." Roderick told Jeremy.
"A tapping system? What does it do?" Jeremy asked.
"Well, being as smart as you are I'm pretty sure you know that police or government agencies can tap phone-lines……well LEGION can tap into data streams to keep an eye on any information that might interest their destructive pallets, and sometimes if they find a piece of information they really have interests in they'll extract it from it's main course…which I'm positive is to what happened to Odd." Roderick informed.
"So where do you think Odd is?" Jeremy asked.
"He's probably at LEGION H.Q…I'm 10000% positive that's where he is." Roderick suggested.
"And since you're an Ex-LEGION member you should know where that is, right?" Jeremy asked.
"Uh…not exactly." Roderick answered. "LEGION has bases the world over, and any one of them can become H.Q as Devian wishes…sometimes those bases can change location, but they'll never be in the same place twice. Plus I'm sure LEGION severed the connection of the tapping system after they got Odd so there's no point to putting a tracer on it and finding where it leads to, but there's one thing I think Devian might've overlooked."
"And that would be?" Jeremy asked.
"To use all that technology they have they'd need a pretty big building to keep it all in, such as an abandoned steel mill or a large warehouse…not to mention they'd need there own personal generators to keep the electric companies from becoming suspicious. I'm going to ask you to look and see if there are any old abandoned buildings around, I'm going to call Audra and have her look into the sales of generators…perhaps with luck, we'll be able to locate LEGION H.Q." Roderick pointed out.
MICHEL'S LIMO…
Michel hooked up his web cam to his laptop and tuned into LEGION's frequency, an image of Cyril at the main computer console came on. "Devian…I was expecting you to call." Cyril commented.
"How is our 'guest'?" Michel asked.
"He's being rather difficult, Valaad is ready to extract information from him through any means necessary…and Warlock's becoming rather impatient, please hurry sir." Cyril told him.
"Je serai là-bas bientôt Phantomae, juste les garder de blesser notre 'invité' jusque-là." (Translation: "I will be over there soon Phantomae, just keep them from hurting our 'guest' until then.") Michel said to him. "Fera Devian." Replied Cyril. With that Michel unplugged his web cam and shut down his laptop. He watched the scenery pass as the limo drove him to LEGION H.Q.
