Factory
Bosh and Aelita work while Jeremie goes out for food. "Aelita I have found Earth very different from what I had been told by my Creator."
"Do you like it?" He nods. "Would you like too see more?"
"Yes. When you and Jeremie took me out and showed me things I liked it. But maybe next time you could leave Jeremie here." He reaches for her hand but she pulls away.
"No. Bosh I know you think you have feelings for me but they were created. Jeremie feels emotions for me because he cares for me. I feel them back because I care for him. None of those emotions were created by a scientist."
"You say that but I don't believe it. I have been reading the psychology of the human mind and found that those emotions are chemical reactions. If you add a chemical or take one away it changes what you feel."
"It is more than that! Love is some thing special. Love makes you feel special."
"Because of a chemical in your brain."
"Because of the heart. Bosh you may learn from the internet much as I have but I have Earth experience. I have experience with Jeremie. I know you may not understand yet but you will. You are what Yumi and other girls consider cute. And you like I are very smart. When we get you more Earth knowledge and experience you may join us at the school."
"I don't know if I want that."
"You will! We need a lie for you. They claim I am from Canada. We may say you are my cousin."
"Some society's frown on cousin relationships. Parts of Europe though it is not."
"It doesn't matter you will not have one with me. Jeremie, I love Jeremie." The elevator starts running. "And he is back."
Yumi's Room
Yumi rubs her hand. "We've been working on these for hours. Have we found any thing useful? He scrapped Xana and worked on the AI programs. He didn't think Xana would be useful. So none of this helps us with him."
"But the AI stuff could be interesting. For Jeremie and stuff. For me this all goes way over my head. I can put a computer together and stuff but this is all major programming."
"And the rest is pointless. He talks about how his dreams created his ideas. Or some times a strange man would give him money for new parts."
"Sounds strange. I mean manga strange. Are you sure any of this is real Yumi? I mean all of this is crazy. Heck more then half of this is in a manga."
"Xana's real. Lyoko is real. The danger is real. Are you giving up?"
"Never! Are you kidding me? I've thought for days on end how cool it would have been being a Lyoko Warrior. Save the AI, beat Xana, and win the girl."
"In the manga he doesn't beat Xana or win the girl. He only traps Xana after Xana killed the girl and he decided that beating Xana didn't matter just keep him from attacking Earth."
"Yeah well, we'll end this differently. We won't trap Xana or the AI's on Lyoko forever. We'll really win." He touches her hand. "Save all three AI and make it so Xana can't ever come back."
"So we hope. But with Aelita being infected we can't even turn the Super Computer off."
"Turning it off isn't winning." She glares at him. "But we could turn it off while we work on a way of deleting him or what ever. Unless Jeremie needs the Super Computer for that kind of work. It would be nice if I knew more computer stuff so I could help more."
"Fighting and translating these notes for Jeremie aren't enough for you? He figures out the computer stuff while we do the fighting and save the day."
"But I could contribute more. Sure I do more then Ulrich with the notes and stuff but still. This is so cool and I wanna be a hero. If I just sit back and do nothing but fight every now and then is ok for some but I want more. Translating notes helps a lot right?"
"Some times. I mean we found out some cool stuff. Hirohito did all kinds of stuff. Dude was decades ahead of the time. Heck computers would be around for how much longer? And they were entire rooms."
"Exactly! But the Super Computer is really big. I mean it isn't some lap top. But yeah way ahead of the time. Yumi imagine if he was around today?"
"He'd put Bill Gates out of business. Except he sold several patents to Bill Gates. So maybe he didn't care about being a billionaire just make enough for what he needed. Except didn't Odd say his parents have money?"
"I think so Yumi. Inherited from his creator. Makes you look at him differently doesn't it?"
"How do you mean? That I'd be interested in his money?"
"No, well, kind of. He's an AI and like if any thing happened to his parent's he'd inherit a good chunk of their cash."
"Split among his uh, six, five, seven, sisters? Probably wouldn't be that much. And what if an AI isn't human enough for..." Both blush.
"Then Aelita wouldn't freak as much when ever some one mentions health class." They blush even more.
"We have no idea. Maybe we can find out some where in here. It might make Aelita and Jeremie feel better in the future." They go back to translating notes sorting them out between computer jargon they didn't understand and personal backround information.
The Next Day
A man watches Jeremie and Aelita. He talks in to a phone. "He got her off of Lyoko. He figured out how too get Bosh off as well. He is the key."
"We can't interfere too much. If we damage the computer or the time travel components then we can't go back in time ourselves. And if we make too much impact then we won't know we should go back in time and if we don't do that then we can't save our future."
"Grandfather clause has us by the you know what. If we interfere too much we won't know we should go back and do what we did and so we won't."
"And if we don't do enough our future will fall under Xana still."
"We helped them save Bosh. He died in our original time line. Already saving him has changed several things."
"We both were sent back. Before only you were."
"But Xana still won. It just took a couple more years."
"If we do too much we'll never go back in time and interfere. It took us several tries before we could push Hirohito in just the right way after we messed up and nearly lost time travel."
Kadic Academy
After class Jeremie and Aelita head straight for the Factory. They don't notice the cameras that had been set up in the sewers.
At the Factory they don't notice more cameras set up on the bridge and inside of the Factory.
Control Room
Jeremie finds Bosh sleeping. "Maybe we should work on getting him to Kadic. Living down here isn't healthy for him."
"He may not adjust well. He did not want life on Earth. He did not read on it until we brought him here. And he still has those created emotions for me. He talks about chemicals in the brain that create the emotions between us."
"Technically that is true but the chemicals are just a part of it. You and I may be affected by them but that is because we feel those emotions for each other in the first place. I do not feel any thing for Yumi."
"And I do not feel what I feel for you with Ulrich."
"So the chemicals might affect you but they affect you with me because you feel the emotions. At least that's what I think."
"It is what I feel." They hold hands and don't notice the small robot crawling on the wall with a camera for an eye.
That Night
Jeremie lays down in bed thinking about the wonderful day he had with Aelita. They found two new layers of information on Aelita, Bosh, and Odd. Odd and Bosh matched up but Aelita had several differences. Was it because she was female or was it the virus? Tomorrow they would... His lap top beeps. "Xana."
Control Room
Bosh wakes up as a black mist swirls around him. "No Xana leave me alone." It attacks him and lifts him in the air. "No, stop it!" The energy sparks shocking him. The black mist drops him and disappears.
Sewers
Jeremie is on his scooter as William, Ulrich, and Odd are on skateboards. "Yumi said she and Aelita would be there as soon as they could. They weren't being attacked."
"Which means Bosh is the only one left."
"Yes Ulrich I figured that one out on my own. But what would he do? Could he force Bosh to Lyoko and use that Scyph monster on him? That would be incredibly bad."
"So hurry up! I'm ready for a fight." William pushes again going a little faster.
Control Room
Bosh recovers from the attack and goes to the control panel. "They're coming. I must wait. I can't do any thing alone. Ice Sector so it may be hidden. I must wait for the others." He sits in the computer chair and feels several burns rub up against it. "Scanning should heal me. But we don't know the extent of the powers used."
Factory
Jeremie climbs out of the sewer and sees Aelita and Yumi running across the bridge. "Hey!" Aelita turns around and sees him.
"Jeremie!" She runs back across the bridge so she can hug him. "You are ok?"
"We're all fine so Bosh must be the target."
"He must be ok. He doesn't like being attacked here on Earth. He claims he would be safer on Lyoko." Aelita and the others follow Yumi across the bridge and in to the Factory.
Lyoko
Jeremie had sent the others and the vehicles, including the new one. "So William how does if feel?"
"Like nothing I've done before." The new vehicle was shaped like a bow. It was faster then the Shield and Star but slower then the Axe and Blade. With two footholds the Bow was extremely light and agile. "So how far are we?"
"Pretty far. He set the barrier up at a farther distance than normal."
"Just keep going." Ulrich on the Star flies highest.
Jeremie watches the screen. "Monsters, lots of them. Xana is going all out. I don't know what he is planning but it must be important for him."
"Mega Tanks and Wolves." William pulls his sword and shield out. "I'm ready."
"And the Scyph behind them. Aelita, Bosh, stay back. Odd protect them Yumi, William, and I will take charge." He pulls his swords out.
"Three Mega Tanks and two Wolves is one heck of a welcoming committee. We may need Aelita's and Odd's help."
"The Scyph wants them we can't risk it getting close."
"We'll try and go around. Jeremie warn us if other monsters try and cut us off." Odd takes lead for the other group and tries flying away from the numerous monsters.
William dives low on the Bow. The Wolves fire at him as the Mega Tanks open. "Come on Yumi use your fans!" The Mega Tanks start charging blasts.
"Don't just dive in like that! Crap, Triplicate." Ulrich's clones split from him and land on the Sector below.
The Mega Tanks fire at William but he is able too dodge them. "Yes! I can turn on a Euro with this thing. Woot!" He dodges several lasers fired from the Wolves and gets close enough he reflects them back at the Wolves. A Wolf is hit and roars in pain.
"Idiot!" Yumi throws her fans at the injured Wolf and cuts a front leg off. "You can't just fly in like that!"
"They can't touch me." William keeps his shield up and flies past the uninjured Wolf.
It turns and fires at him. One of Ulrich's clones runs up and cuts the back legs while the other clone and Ulrich distract the Mega Tanks.
Elsewhere...
Odd leads Aelita and Bosh near a giant ice wall. "Tunnels not good. Xana likes sending Hornets. Jeremie any sign of them?"
"No Odd but be careful the Scyph disappeared. Maybe it can teleport?"
"Who knows. I'm just wondering if all of these tunnels go the same place. Aelita, Bosh, stay behind me and be ready." Odd goes through the largest tunnel.
Back With the Others
"Maybe. I don't see it any more." Ulrich dodges a Mega Tank blast. "Jeremie what does the map show?"
"Nothing. It just disappeared."
"Great. We still have a healthy Wolf and three Mega Tanks."
"I got this! Just watch!" William jumps off of the Bow leading with his shield. The uninjured Wolf continues firing.
William pus the shield under him and slides across the ice. He blocks a laser with his sword then swings as he gets close. He slashes the Wolf from chest through the stomach and out the back. It stumbles and roars then explodes. "Come on Ulrich, Yumi and I are doing all the work."
"I'm using strategy not stupidity. My clones are distracting the Mega Tanks. As long as Bosh or Aelita make it to the activated Tower none of this matters."
"Excuses." William gets back on the Bow and flies up in the air. "Three Mega Tanks and three of us." The injured Wolf with only one laser left fires at William. He dodges it easily. "I'll take care of it since you won't Ulrich."
"I can do it!" Ulrich dives for the injured Wolf on the Star. He is so distracted that he doesn't see the Mega Tank open and aim for him.
"Ulrich watch out!" Yumi's warning is too late and he is hit being devirtualized.
"I guess the older and more mature members will take care of this." William flies between two Mega Tanks. They both open but don't charge. "I guess they're smarter than that."
"Hai!" Yumi throws her fans and hits the two Mega Tanks on the Eye destroying them. The third and final Mega Tank opens and aims for her.
"I call this one." William throws his sword and it spears the Mega Tank in the Eye destroying it. "Ha I kicked butt. What do you think of that?" He gets his sword.
"What ever we better go after the others in case Xana attacks them."
Tunnels
Odd takes another tight turn and sees an opening ahead. "I think we're almost there." Just as he flies out of the tunnel he is attacked by two Vipers. "Aaaa!" He fires a Laser Arrow just as he devirtualizes. It hits one Viper on the Eye and destroys it.
"I can do this." Aelita creates her energy blades and stops just before exiting the cave. A laser flies past her. "Bosh jump off as soon as I go through. I'll distract the Viper." She moves through the exit of the tunnel and Bosh falls off the back of the Shield.
Aelita blocks lasers with her energy blades. "Jeremie I don't know if we need a return."
"Then we'll need too run the materialization program for him. Let's hope we worked all the kinks out."
"Aaaa!" Bosh is grabbed from behind by the Scyph! "Help I," He goes silent as the Scyph glows.
"No, no! Xana is stealing Bosh's data. Aelita save him!"
"We're almost there!" William and Yumi weren't sure what tunnel Odd and the others had taken and had split up.
"We think." William has his sword and shield out and ready.
Aelita tries flying down but the Viper drops off the top and lands on the Shield with her. It knocks her off and she falls helplessly to the ground below.
William sees the exit and keeps his shield raised. He comes out the other side and sees the Viper still on the Shield. "Bosh!" Just below him Bosh was dropped by the Scyph. "No!"
"Bosh, respond. The Scyph stole some thing from him. William is Bosh moving?"
"Yes actually. He seems fine. He's running for the activated Tower."
"Where's the Scyph?"
"It flew back in to a tunnel."
"It doesn't matter now. Bosh are you ok?" He doesn't respond. "I don't know if Bosh is under his own control any more. If he is under Xana's control we could be in a lot of trouble."
"Tower deactivated. Jeremie do we need a return?"
"Bosh? Are you ok?"
"Jeremie, do we need a return? Can you hear me?"
"Yes can't you hear me?"
"Jeremie? I think some thing must be wrong. I don't know why but I can't hear you. Please don't try bringing me back."
"I'm sorry Bosh but I must try." Jeremie starts the program. "Come on, make it, make it!"
Scanner Room
Odd and Ulrich see the middle Scanner doors close. When they open Bosh falls out. "He made it Jeremie."
"Jeremie I said not too bring me back." Bosh slowly stands up. "I am lightheaded and weak. What did it steal from me?"
"I'm not sure yet. We'll scan you and see what is missing if any thing. As soon as I bring the others back." Jeremie does quickly.
Several Minutes Later
"It is past curfew for all of us Jeremie."
"You guys can go home. I must find what Xana stole from Bosh."
"You can tomorrow after school. If Jim does a check and catches you past curfew again you will get a weeks worth of detention."
"You're right. But Bosh you shouldn't stay here."
"Where should I stay then?"
"At Kadic. In my room. I'll share some of the blankets and pillows." Jeremie yawns. "We better get going the others are right. We could get in a lot of trouble if we're all caught."
"You guys," Yumi yawns. "Get detention. We get grounded and that is a lot worse. Come on Aelita."
"Yes Yumi." Aelita turns and hugs Jeremie then follows Yumi on to the elevator.
The Next Morning
Jeremie and the others help Bosh figure out the showers at Kadic. "The water is quite warm. It feels refreshing."
"Yeah well hurry it up. We have classes soon. You can sneak out and grab some food from a fast food place after classes start."
"Thank you Odd. And thank you Ulrich for the new clothes. I will make sure I am not caught leaving."
"Ok well dry off and get dressed. We have breakfast and classes."
Lunch
Aelita sits down next to Jeremie. "How was Bosh?"
"He enjoyed a warm shower and fresh clothes."
"Warm showers are very nice! Until my fingers get all wrinkly. Do you know where he is now?" Jeremie shrugs his shoulders.
City of Paris
Bosh is being followed. He doesn't realize it and goes about exploring the city. "He's safe for now. Has any thing changed?"
"Report came in Xana completed his avatar. We aren't sure how it happened or why."
"An avatar? He is looking for a more solid form? Any news on what it looked like?"
"No, not yet."
A/N Bosh was captured by the Scyph and... They aren't sure what was taken yet. And who are these two mysterious men? Insane? Actually from the future? And for what purpose? And William kicked butt on Lyoko! Although Ulrich was destroyed because he was distracted by William's recklessness. And William wants too be more involved? How? And why? So he can claim more of the glory? Does he think it will get Yumi's attention? Or is there another motive... We must wait and see!
