Jearmie read his email a day late at one o'clock in the morning. He had no idea how he missed it yesterday. He had been working nonstop ever since Xana had reappeared he had finally located the last replica where Xana was hiding and his program to send the kids back was nearly complete he would have it ready in a five days he estimated. He began to read his email which said

Dear Jearmie 2031

Aelita and I have finished recreating Lyoko. We're still fixing minor things but Lyoko is pretty much finished.

Sincerely,

Jearmie Belpois 2006

He was glad to hear lyoko was finally finished. Naomi has now been gone for three weeks and it was taking it's toll on every one. He knew the kids where more than ready to bring Naomi back. Jearmie felt that they had prepared them well for what they'd face in the past. The only one he was worried about was Carly. Melody and Jake had trained much more than she had and that wasn't necessarily her fault. She had only been to lyoko to train during that one weekend William drove up. During which she set foot on lyoko four times. Once Xana started attacking again William wanted Carly no where near lyoko so he decided not to bring her back until he absolutely had to for Naomi.

There had been twelve Xana attacks since the super computer has been turned back on and no return to the past have been needed. Jearmie thought this was extremely weird Xana's attacks now seemed to be more tame than they had been in the past and he seemed to have more monsters guarding his towers then he used to. Jearmie knew what ever he was planing couldn't be good. Because there where more monsters to fight Melody and Jake became very skilled at combat on lyoko but where some times reckless they didn't always think things through.

During their training Melody had discovered that she had the exact same abilities as Aelita on lyoko. She could even deactivate towers and had done so twice already. On lyoko her costume was blue and pink and her long pink hair was pulled up in to a bun at the top of her head. Jake had the same powers as Odd and his costume was purple as well.

Carly carried a mace with her and found that she had all of Williams powers when she was on lyoko. She had had difficulty controlling super smoke and Jearmie didn't think she would master it before they left. Her costume resembled Williams first costume with it's white color and black accents but her costume looked girlier and had some different elements to it. And her hair was pulled back in a pony tail. During the her training Jearmie saw that everything came naturally to Carly she was good at combat and made smart and calculated decisions on lyoko she just needed to master super smoke and didn't have much experience which could hurt her in the past. Aside from every thing else Jearmie felt confident that they would be fine and could all take care of each other.

Aelita had called Franz the day Hazel was attacked to see if he had experienced any thing strange but he hadn't and she had been keeping a close eye on him trying to keep him safe. for some reason Xana was leaving him alone and Aelita was thankful for that. She felt her dad had suffered enough at the hands of Xana. But Jearmie and Aelita had recently run in to a problem some where along the way and have talked for a long time until they finally decided to bring Franz Hopper in to this. They have both been so hesitant to bring Franz back in to all of this but they felt they had no choice and they decided to go see Franz today after the kids get out of school. Good thing it's Friday Jearmie thought.

After the kids got home Jearmie and Aelita told them tat they were going to be eating at grandpa Franz house. They pulled up in front of the hermitage at three thirty. Franz had fixed it up after he left lyoko nineteen years ago. Franz had found a way to contact the lyoko warriors and tell them that he was still alive. At the time the super computer had been turned off for six years and all of the lyoko warriors minus William who was left in the dark about this voted to turn it back on. William later found out when a return to the past was launched. During the time the warriors were bringing Franz back the super computer had been turned on for three weeks and Xana never once launched an attack and no monster were ever sited on lyoko. The lyoko warriors thought that they had successfully brought back Franz Hopper and Xana truly had been done away with. Of course that was until Xana attacked once again.

Hazel and Robbert were the first ones out of the car. Hazel rang the door bell and when Franz answered they gave him a huge hug once they released him Melody hugged him as well. Followed by Aelita I'm making your favorite meal today daddy she said and headed to the kitchen. Her kids watched tv while Jearmie and Franz talked computers. Franz may have been old now but he was still computer knowledgeable with science and computers. Jearmie and Aelita had decided to tell Franz about the super computer after dinner.

Franz knew that they wanted to talk to him but had no idea what it was about. He was getting old and even walked with a cane now things weren't s easy as they used to be. He saw his family every Friday or Sunday Aelita often stopped by more as well as his grand kids and even Jearmie to talk about computers and to get advice sometimes. Franz felt very loved by his family and he loved them just as much as they loved him. He had missed six years of his daughters life thanks to Xana and he would make sure to be here for her and his family for the rest of his life. Aelita made her famous home cooked ravioli. They had a great dinner.

Guess what kids Franz said to his grand kids. What? Hazel said. Do you know what I ordered last week? What did you order? Melody asked. The new Xbox he said with a smile. Grandpa Robbert said I didn't know you played video games. Oh I don't but I have grand kids that do he smiled at them again. Now you all can play every time you come over he said. Why don't you go check it out it's in a box under the tv stand. Thanks grandpa they said in unison and left the room. Once the kids were gone and it was just him Aelita and Jearmie he said well. I'm all ears.

Look daddy theres something we have to tell you Aelita said. What is it dear? Franz asked concerned. Xana has returned she said and we've had to turn the super computer back on. What?! Franz said but you all destroyed Xana some time ago. He some how survived in a replica Jearmie said it's the last one and I've finally found it. What are you waiting for Franz said destroy it. I would love to Jearmie said but when I was sending Ulrich and Yumi's daughter Naomi to lyoko Xana some how interfered and sent her to the past. You sent a child to lyoko!? Franz asked. He had to daddy Aelita said Xana targeted our families we had to send every one even Robbert, Hazel, and Melody. My grandkids went to lyoko?!

Have you at least located the girl? Yes she's twenty five years in the past. Jearmie said. What a place to be Franz said concerned. I hope she's doing ok. I've set a system up to where I can email my past self Jearmie said and she seems to be doing ok. I've come up with program to bring Naomi back and it should be ready in five days. But I need you to look at this Jearmie said as he pulled out his computer and showed the screen to Franz. Xana launched whatever he did to Naomi from the replica and we don't know what will happen if we destroy the replica before we bring Naomi back. Franz looked over the code carefully. You can't if you destroy the replica before you bring back the girl shell be stuck in the past forever.

What exactly is your plan Franz asked lastly. Where sending three people back to get Naomi Jearmie said. Who are you sending? Melody, Jake and Carly. we've been training them. Who is Carly? Carly is Williams daughter Aelita said. The one who Xana used to control Franz asked? Has he overcome his fear? I don't know Jearmie said honestly. Have you located the last replica? Yes and I'm working on repairing the skid and creating another so we can destroy it as soon as possible. which I guess will be after Naomi returns.

They then give Franz selective details and don't tell him about any Xana attacks because they don't want to stress him out. When they leave Franz tell Jearmie and Aelita to keep him posted. I don't like being left in the dark he says. Will do daddy Aelita says and gives her father a hug before leaving. And be careful he says after Aelita lets go you don't know what Xana's planing this time. We will be she says. and walks to the car. Jearmie finally sends an email to his past self Saturday afternoon.

A/N: Thank you for reading. Please leave a review and tell me what you thought. And I wanted to know if you all would like me to wite a prequel story about how the warriors brought Franz Hopper back? I know I was vague with the description of how he was rescued and I feel like I could write a great story about it. Pm me or say something about it in a review if enough of you want one I'll write it. Thanks again my wonderful readers.
