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!
Jeremie and Aelita are in the Control Room working. "It worked with the Skid I think we try it without the Skid." Jeremie enters some code. "If William volunteers again it would be best since we have his data from the last Translation and it will give him experience on Earth."
"We'll ask them when they come." Aelita yawns. "Jeremie it's already past midnight. We should go to bed."
"Um, ok. Just a couple more things." Aelita goes to Jeremie and hugs him from behind.
"Like this?" She snuggles against him hugging him tightly.
"No I need to enter," Aelita pulls away from him. "I'm sorry." Jeremie closes the screen. "I didn't mean," Aelita gets on the elevator. "Wait!" Jeremie tries to chase after her but the elevator door closes before he can get on. "No, Aelita I'm sorry." Jeremie gets his cell phone out and calls her but she doesn't answer.
The next morning Aelita's phone rings waking her up. "Hello?"
"Am I waking you up Pink Haired Star?" It was Chris.
"Um, yeah." Aelita yawns and looks at the time. "It's Saturday."
"Oh, yeah. I wasn't sure what the time difference was and thought you might be up already." Chris laughs. "Sorry. But we have an opportunity for you."
"Huh?" Aelita yawns again. "A what?"
"An opportunity for you Aelita."
"Um, ok, what?"
"We want to make a CD. We have it set up and we will have at least nine minutes left. I suggested to our manager that we let you add one or two of your amazing songs at the end as bonus tracks. You'll be given one percent of what the CD Sales make and have your name and song tracks promoted on our ATunes website."
"Um, what do I have to do?"
"Well we have the recording studio set up in Paris. We'll be there in a few days after we finish a couple concerts here in Canada."
"Um, how long does it take? If I have school and stuff I won't be able to do it Chris." Aelita starts to shake. Here she had a chance to actually make it on a CD. But it wasn't school she was worried about.
"We can do it on a weekend or after school or get Mr. Delmas to let you out for a day. I will personally make it possible."
"Um, I, my parents," Chris interrupts her.
"Won't have to worry. You won't be going anywhere out of Country or even the city. And the money made can be put into a trust fund or other bank account. This is a huge chance Aelita and I had to fight with our manager for hours to convince him to let you have the last nine minutes." Chris's tone changes. "If you turn this down I don't know if I can keep fighting for you."
"I, I'll do it." Aelita bites on her lower lip. "Thank you Chris. I, I hope I won't let you down."
"I know you won't Pink Haired Star. I'll let you get more sleep ok?" Aelita hears him laugh.
"Um, ok, thank you again Chris I don't know how to repay you."
"You have no idea how great your talent is. And if that talent helps sell an extra million records the pay off will be more then enough."
"Um, ok, uh, bye." Aelita is stunned as Chris hangs up. "I can't believe it. I'll be on a CD. People will hear my music. If Xana doesn't attack."
Yumi and William are in his room doing homework. "Yumi what war was the 1812 Overture written for?"
"Uh, War of 1812?"
"Nope, try again. Hint, the guy who wrote it was Russian."
"Oh uh, Napoleonic Wars." William smiles.
"Good job. Now ask me one."
"Why did you really want to be a Lyoko Warrior?" William is shocked.
"I, to fight Xana."
"Really?" Yumi stares at him. "You've been reckless. The last time we were on Lyoko you nearly got yourself killed doing something that was stupid."
"He was going after you." William bites his tongue. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that. Xana was going after you. Xana is controlling him anything he does is what Xana wants him to do."
"So you thought you'd tackle him over the edge of the path and almost die in the Digital Sea? If Odd hadn't been fast enough to shoot you we would have lost you again William."
"I, I wasn't thinking about that. I just wanted to keep him from you." William reaches over and holds Yumi's hand. "I know how hard it is for you. You don't want to fight him, Ulrich."
"I can fight him." Yumi pulls her hand away from William. "It isn't Ulrich like you said. It's Xana."
"Yes Yumi, Xana. But he's using your um, really good friend."
"You still haven't answered my question. Why did you want to be a Lyoko Warrior?" Yumi stares at William.
"Well, I, to be part of what you were. So I could be closer to you. So we could share something." William sighs. "It was a stupid reason. You guys fight to keep Earth safe and I just wanted to be closer to you. I didn't understand how dangerous it was. I didn't care how dangerous it was. I messed up things for you and the others because I was being selfish."
"That, William." Yumi grabs her history book. "I have to go."
"I'm sorry." William watches Yumi leave. "Now she'll have no one to talk to, idiot." He closes his history book.
Jeremie skips breakfast and goes to the Control Room. "I could have waited to do this." He enters more lines of code. "She wanted to hug me and have me hug her back and I messed up again." Jeremie wipes his brow. "At least I know I messed up this time." He keeps working.
Aelita listens to Jeremie's voicemails. "He says he's sorry but I bet he's back at the Factory." She puts her phone away when two hands cover her eyes.
"Guess who."
"Odd?" The hands go away and Aelita turns around. "What's up?"
"I was wondering something."
"What?"
"Well I know I'm supposed to be going after Sissi, distract her, but I don't think I can give it my all."
"Um, why." Aelita feels herself start to be charmed as Odd smiles.
"Because there is someone distracting me." Odd puts a hand on Aelita's shoulder. "So I figured I had to break up with that person before I went after Sissi." Odd pulls his hand away.
"I am really confused."
"I'm sorry Princess but I have to break up with you." Odd hugs Aelita quickly then let's go. "I'm sure you'll be able to find someone else. Someone with glasses and is absolutely in love with you even if he is a bit of a klutz when it comes to a relationship." Odd kisses Aelita on the cheek. "Are you going to be ok?"
"Um, sure?" Odd laughs.
"Thanks for working with me Princess." Odd walks away.
"A klutz when it comes to relationships." Aelita gets her phone back out and calls Jeremie.
Aelita and Jeremie are in the Control Room. "It's ready. We just need a volunteer." Jeremie saves the program.
"Let's call them."
Odd hangs up. "Ok, Ulrich," He turns to the clone. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"We're playing a game. The rules are you have to sit and stay here as long as possible. If I come back and you're still sitting here you win. Ok?"
"I like this game." The clone stays sitting. "When do we start?"
"Now." Odd runs out of the room.
Yumi hangs up. "I'll do it this time. If I'm not on Lyoko I won't have to be around him, or Ulrich." Yumi heads for the Factory from her house.
William answers his phone. "Hey Jeremie. Is Xana attacking?"
"No we're going to do another Translation except this time without the Skid. Will you do it?"
"Of course. I'll be there as soon as I can." They hang up and William takes off for the Factory.
Yumi makes it to the Factory before William. When she goes down to the Control Room she goes over to Aelita and Jeremie. "Hey, um, I volunteer to do the Translation."
"What? Yumi, William said he would."
"Well I'm saying I will. Last time he went to Earth Ulrich chased after him. If I go and Ulrich again goes to Earth I'm a better fighter. I won't have to destroy the Factory making a return needed."
"Well, that's a good point Yumi." Jeremie looks at the screen. "If you really want to risk it Yumi. This will be very dangerous. We've never tried this before and anything could go wrong."
"William's taken all the chances lately. I'll take a chance this time." Yumi goes to the ladder and starts to climb down as the elevator moves up.
When the elevator comes down Odd steps off of it. "Hey, I'm the first one here." He smiles at Aelita. "I hope you're ok Princess." Odd pats his heart. "I'm still taking it hard."
"What?" Jeremie is confused.
"Odd did something stupid." Aelita smiles at Odd. "But I'm sure he'll get over it." She puts a hand on Jeremie's shoulder. "And Yumi beat you here. She's already in the Scanner Room waiting."
"Oh, well, I better go keep her company." Odd gets on the elevator and takes it down to the Scanner Room.
When William arrives he goes straight to the Scanner Room. "Hey Yumi, Odd." William goes to a Scanner. "This should be interesting."
"Even more interesting since I'm going." Yumi steps in a Scanner.
"What? But, I said, you don't have to do this."
"Ulrich went after you when you went. You destroyed the entire Factory. I'll be a little more subtle if he comes to Earth."
"Ok Yumi," William steps in a Scanner. "But I hope he doesn't go after you Yumi."
"I miss him." Odd steps in the last Scanner. "Want to see what happens when we fight fairly on Lyoko."
"You may find out." Jeremie starts the process. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer William, Transfer Odd, Scanner Yumi, Scanner William, Scanner Odd, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Ice Sector near the Way Tower. "Yumi, go into the Way Tower."
"Got it." Yumi runs in.
"Here goes nothing." Jeremie loads the program and starts it.
"Jeremie something is going on." Yumi sees numbers appear around her. Then six red tentacles come out and wrap around her. "I don't feel good. It's burning should it be burning?"
"I don't know we never did this before."
"Aaaa!" Yumi screams in pain as more tentacles attack her.
"Yumi!" William hears her screaming and tries to go in but can't. "Jeremie what are you doing to her?!"
"Without the protection of the Skid something seems…" Jeremie sees a blip on the screen and the screaming stops. "Yumi?"
"Jeremie, where am I?" Yumi looks around and sees tall buildings. Their lights were bright as it was dark out. She sees a street sign. "Jeremie where did you send me!?" She can't read it. It isn't in any language she knew.
"Um, on the bridge?"
"I'm no where near the bridge." Yumi sees a couple people walk out of a building. "I need to hide." She runs into an alley and hides behind a dumpster. "Jeremie its night here."
"What? But, you should be on the bridge."
"I'm not! And I don't know the language so I know I'm way off from the bridge. What do we do?"
"I don't know." Jeremie looks at the program. "Um, you might be in China." Yumi doesn't respond. "Yumi?"
"China? How did I end up in China?"
"I put a two instead of a three in the destination which changes the longitude of the coordinates. I'm pretty sure you're in the north parts of China. I don't know what to tell you." Jeremie tries to bring Yumi back but it doesn't work. "And I can't bring you back."
"You messed up Einstein." Odd looks around. "Einstein, I know some Chinese. Maybe if you brought me back I could help translate for her so she could get some help." Jeremie continues looking over the program.
"Help? If I'm reading this right she'll have to be put in a Scanner and sent to Lyoko to fix this. Unless you can help her find an airplane and fly here I don't think you can help."
"What!?" Yumi was in China. She needed to get back to France. "Jeremie you really, really, messed up. I can't get to France from here. What if I was sent back like when destroyed by one of Xana's monsters?"
"How? Xana doesn't have any monsters there."
"If I stood in front of a car or something and got hit? I don't know I'm not the genius who sent me to China!"
"Um, that might actually work. But I wouldn't risk it. I'll try to again to bring you back." Jeremie gets to work on the control panel.
"Um, Einstein, we have company." Odd sees two Mantas flying through the air. "And our buddy is with them."
"He's not our buddy." William gets his Zanbatou out. "Ulrich is our friend. This is Xana."
"I'm sending the vehicles." Jeremie does. "And Aelita will be there shortly." Jeremie waits for Aelita to get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Aelita, Scanner Aelita, and virtualization." She lands near the others. "Yumi can you still hear me?"
"Yes. What are you doing?"
"Not sure. I can't think of a way to bring you back. It is risky to have you hit by a car or something. If it doesn't work you'll be hurt and the person's car will be damaged. The only way is for you to come here and be scanned."
"And how long will that take? I can't really walk all the way there can I? Didn't you say the Translation doesn't last forever. We could just wait for that to end couldn't we?"
"Um, I didn't want that limit. I fixed it so you could take as long as you wanted to get the parts or um, save Antea."
"Great. I guess I should start hitchhiking now."
"Um, no. The outfit you're wearing will raise questions and you have weapons on you."
"Just my fans."
"Still. I'll try and fix it." Jeremie gets to work.
On Lyoko Ulrich lands in front of the others. "Hello losers. Is Yumi having fun in, China was it?"
"Why do you care?" Odd steps forward.
"I don't but I figured I'd talk to you before I destroyed you." Ulrich gets his swords out. "I'll start with the falsely upgraded one."
"I was upgraded by the good guys." Odd gets in a fighting pose. "You were taken by Xana."
"We know you're not Ulrich." William points his Zanbatou at Ulrich. "I know what it means to be his puppet."
"You know nothing William. But I know." Ulrich smiles wickedly. "This power is more then what you could ever imagine. He had me for six days. He built me to be stronger, faster, and more clever." Ulrich does a triplicate. "I'll destroy all three of you at once."
"You'll need a bigger army than that Ulrich." Aelita waves her hand over her watch and her wings appear.
"I could bring forth an army that would not only destroy you but allow Xana to take over the world."
"Fat chance." Odd aims at Ulrich. "Laser Arrow!" Ulrich blocks it easily. "Come on."
"Very well." Ulrich and his clones lunge at the three Lyoko Warriors.
"Ha!" William swings his Zanbatou at a clone. It brings up its swords and blocks the blade but is knocked away.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb at a clone who blocks it with a sword. "Be careful we don't have back up." Aelita takes off into the air throwing energy orbs at the clone.
Ulrich swings at Odd who dodges. Odd kicks at Ulrich. "Come on you used to be better then this Ulrich." Odd fires a Laser Arrow and Ulrich blocks it. "But that was when you were fighting and not taking orders from Xana."
"I can beat you and the others any time I like." Ulrich moves a little faster but Odd is still able to dodge his attacks.
"Me maybe but all three of us?" Odd jumps away. "Four when Yumi is here and five with Jeremie? I doubt that."
"It is three on three now and we will win." Ulrich lunges at Odd.
"Shield!" Ulrich is knocked away.
"Ha!" William swings his Zanbatou and an energy blade comes out. The clone blocks it and is knocked backwards. William lunges at it with his Zanbatou out front. He spears the clone destroying it. "Odd want help?"
"Help the Princess first. I can handle this second rate Ulrich." Odd dodges a swing.
"I am not second rate!" Ulrich swings again. "My clones however are not I." Ulrich backs away. "But I don't need them!" He does a Super Sprint.
"Shield!" Odd gets it up just in time to block Ulrich's attack.
Yumi is scared. She was stuck in China if Jeremie couldn't bring her back. "Maybe I can go back. I have my powers. I can use my telekinesis to steal someone's keys and drive back, in about three days."
"Can you drive a car?"
"Not really."
"Then it wouldn't do you much good. Especially when you needed to fill up the gas tank and have no money."
"And stealing a car wouldn't be the right thing to do." Yumi stays hiding as Jeremie tries to fix the program.
Aelita and William tackle the last clone. "Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb at the clone. It blocks it and leaps into the air. It throws a sword at Aelita. She dodges it.
"Ha!" William swings his Zanbatou and the energy blade comes out. The clone ducks under it
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws the energy orb at the clone. It leaps backwards onto its hands and is about to do a springboard when William leaps forward and spear it with his Zanbatou.
"So Second Rate what do you think?" Odd leaps away from Ulrich. "Three on three and we win."
"I'm playing with you." Ulrich gets in a fighting stance. "But I am done." He snaps his fingers and three Tarantulas virtualize behind him.
"Note to self, shut up when winning." Odd backs away.
"You are never winning. You are always losing." Ulrich backs away as the Tarantulas attack the Lyoko Warriors.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb at a Tarantula and misses.
"Jeremie how many life points do I have left?" William is blocking lasers with his Zanbatou.
"40, be careful."
"If I get hit by a laser I'll be devirtualized so I might as well use one last attack." William strafes around the Tarantula charging his Zanbatou.
"Laser Arrow!" Odd fires at a Tarantula and hits it on the chest but misses the Eye. "Shield!" He blocks lasers. "Einstein any closer to bringing Yumi back!?" Odd lowers his shield and fires another Laser Arrow at the Tarantula.
"Not yet."
"Ha!" William swings his Zanbatou at a Tarantula. It dodges and he misses the Eye but hits a leg.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb at the Tarantula and being injured is unable to dodge it.
"William watch out!" Odd's warning is too late and Ulrich destroys him. "Good job Second Rate you had to attack him from behind."
"He destroyed one so I destroyed one." Ulrich puts his swords away. "You have two more to go."
"We'll deal with them just like we always do." Odd attacks a Tarantula.
William is up in the Control Room with Jeremie. "Yumi? Is there any way you could um, get on a plane without anyone noticing?"
"How?"
"Um, sneak on where they put the luggage?"
"And hope the plane comes to France? William I need a better way. I can't walk or drive or fly. This isn't Lyoko."
"Yeah, if it were Lyoko you could just use the Overbike." William has a light bulb moment. "Jeremie why don't you just Translate the Overbike?"
"Well that's, I don't know if that would work." Jeremie goes over the program. "I don't think it would work."
"Well, we can't leave Yumi in China alone. Send me or something."
"William I don't want you here. It's bad enough I'm here I don't need you or any one else here."
"I still want to be there for you."
"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to be Translated. If I can't bring Yumi back we might need to make a clone of her."
"And the Ulrich clone?"
"Um, he could go home, like we did with you."
On Lyoko Odd leaps over a Tarantula and lands on its back. "Laser Arrow!" He hits it in the Eye destroying it.
"Super Sprint!" Odd turns and sees Ulrich coming for him.
"Shield!" Odd blocks the attack. "Not so easy when you don't get them from behind is it Second Rate?"
"I'll still destroy you scrawny."
"I'm svelte!" Odd fires Laser Arrows at Ulrich who blocks them with his swords.
Aelita dodges laser after laser from the Tarantula. "Energy Field!" She uses it to block a laser then throws it. She misses.
Jeremie is working on the Translation program. "I can't just send the Overbike to Yumi. I'll need someone to go with it." William volunteers right away.
"I'll do it."
"Well we'll have to wait for Odd and Aelita to fight Ulrich and the Tarantula off. We can't let Xana interrupt the Translation program."
"Then send me."
"I can't, not yet you have to wait." Jeremie works on a way to send the Overbike to Yumi.
On Lyoko Odd lunges at Ulrich and tackles him. "Second Rate we will stop you and Xana. One day you'll be first rate again."
"You will lose to Xana. You will lose to me!" Ulrich knocks Odd off. He rolls back onto his shoulders and uses his hands to launch himself to his feet. "And it will start now." He gets his swords out.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an energy orb. But this time not at the Tarantula but Ulrich.
"Aaaa!" Ulrich explodes into a black mist and goes back to Sector 5.
"Thanks Princess." Odd gets up and sees the last Tarantula aiming at Aelita. "Watch out!" She looks and sees the Tarantula. She dodges the lasers.
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws an orb at the Tarantula but misses.
"Laser Arrow!" Odd fires at the Tarantula and hits in on the leg.
"Ow!" Aelita is hit in the stomach and falls from the sky as her wings disappear.
"Princess!" Odd runs over and catches her. "You have to be more careful." He sets her down and smiles.
"Um, thanks." A laser passes by them. Odd takes aim as Aelita uses her energy orbs to block lasers.
"Laser Arrow!" He hits it on the Eye destroying it.
"Good job you two." Jeremie brings them back to Earth.
Jeremie and Aelita work on the Translation program. After about nearly an hour they have it ready for William and the Overbike. "Go down to the Scanner Room." William takes the ladder down to the Scanner Room and steps into the middle Scanner. "Transfer William, Scanner William, and virtualization." William lands on Lyoko as the Overbike appears. He drives it into the Way Tower.
"I'm ready Jeremie." Jeremie starts the program.
"Is it working?" Yumi is nervous. If it didn't work she would have a long walk, or drive, anything home. If it worked she'd be on the Overbike for hours, alone, with William.
"Aaaa!" William screams as the red tentacles attach to him.
"It's working. I'll have to find a way to make it not hurt." Jeremie takes the headset off so he wouldn't have to hear William's screams.
Yumi hears the sound of energy crackling. When she gets out of her hiding place she sees an energy orb sparking over the street. There is a loud bang as William and the Overbike appears. "William!"
"Yumi!" William drives the Overbike to her. "Your taxi awaits." William pats the back of the Overbike.
"Um, thanks." Yumi gets on the back and wraps her arms around William's waist. "Did it hurt?"
"Yes, a lot." Dante sighs. "But it was worth it." William revs the engine and turns towards Europe. "Flight controls should do the trick." William activates them and takes off into the air with Yumi.
Nearly twelve hours later William and Yumi set down on the bridge. "Finally." William and Yumi get off of the Overbike and go into the Factory.
"Awww," Yumi and William find Jeremie and Aelita on the floor sleeping next to each other.
"We shouldn't wake them."
"Yeah, I'll send us let those two sleep." Yumi goes over to the control panel and start the auto transfer program. They go down to the Scanner Room and step in the Scanners.
When they land on Lyoko Yumi and William pull their weapons out. "Send me back William."
"If you'll send me back Yumi." William charges his Zanbatou.
"Hai!"
"Ha!"
When they step off the elevator and onto the Factory floor it was well past dark. "My parents are going to kill me."
"Well maybe we could think of something?"
"Oh yeah tell them I was out this late with a boy."
"No tell them um, you were consoling me?"
"About what?" Yumi rolls her eyes.
"Um, someone died in my family? And you went with me to the funeral? It was last minute and um, didn't tell them?"
"I'll be grounded for weeks anyways so we might as well try it." Yumi and William go to her house first.
Mrs. Ishiyama sees Yumi coming up to the house with a boy. "Yumi!"
"Mom, um, I'm sorry." Yumi has her arm around William's shoulders. "It's ok William she's in a better place now."
"What are you doing out this late? With a boy!"
"Um, mom, I'm sorry." Yumi pulls away from William. "William, um, thanks for inviting me to the uh, funeral but um, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble."
"I, I'm sorry." William wipes away a tear. "Mrs. Ishiyama I'm sorry. I, my grandmother died and I, I wanted someone to be with me."
"I'm sorry. Um, Yumi, why didn't you call us?"
"I'm sorry mom I turned my cell off at the funeral then lost it and since it was off I couldn't call it and find it."
"His cell phone? His parents?"
"Um, I," Yumi decides to tell the truth. "I was sent to China by a Quantum Computer and William was sent after me with a vehicle Jeremie invented for a virtual world so we could come back to France."
"If you don't take things seriously Yumi how can you think your father and I can treat you as an adult? You're fifteen years old now you need to start acting older?" Mrs. Ishiyama crosses her arms.
"It's my fault, I, I was really close to my grandmother. I needed a friend and Yumi was the only one who was nice enough to come with me. Please don't be too mad with her."
"I'm sorry about your loss but she was out really late. She should have called us or something."
"I'm sorry, please, don't punish her for being a good friend." William wipes away another tear.
"Well, Yumi it's late you need to take a bath and go to bed." Mrs. Ishiyama puts a hand on her shoulder and leads her into the house as William walks away.
When William gets away he pulls his shirt up and pulls the hair clip off of his nipple. "Ow that stings." He looks at the hair clip. "I should give this back to Yumi, eventually." He pockets the hair clip and walks back to Kadic Academy.
A/N In case you didn't figure it out the hair clip is what made him cry. Neat trick no?
