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!
A week passed since the last attack and Jeremie wants to take their chance. "We have to destroy a Super Computer. We don't know how many have been built and unlike last time we don't have a multi agent program to destroy them all."
"And it didn't destroy them all last time. Xana had some disconnected making it impossible to destroy them. And since we didn't destroy our Super Computer we have this mess." Yumi rubs her temples as the headache pounds behind her eyes. "So we really have to destroy some." She sighs.
"Yes well Aelita and I think the one in Australia is the best choice. Xana guarded it the most after Ulrich was taken so I think it is reasonable to believe it is the one controlling Ulrich."
"If he's being controlled." Aelita looks at the screen. "We'll pilot the Skid through two hubs to get to the Super Computer."
"No we'll use a new program." Aelita turns towards Jeremie.
"No we'll use the Skid."
"We'll use the new program." Jeremie gets out of the computer chair. "And you will go to the Super Computer to destroy it."
"We won't use that death trap of a program!" William raises his hands.
"Wait, what new program?" Aelita and Jeremie try to answer at the same time but it is just a jumbled mess.
"Ok, one at a time, Einstein?" Odd ignores Aelita's stare.
"I made a new program that makes the Skid obsolete. It turns you in to little energy orbs that can fly and swim. You'll be faster then the Skid and a lot smaller than the Nav Skids. You'll swim through the internet."
"And one laser will kill you because you have no shields like the Skidbladnir. And unlike the Skid we're supposed to know where to go."
"No Aelita I said that I would program the coordinates and you would be integrated with them."
"And you've never tested it. We don't need our first mission to destroy a Super Computer compromised by an untested program."
"I ran seven tests and every time it worked." Jeremie glares at Aelita.
"In a demo! You've never tried it on any of us!" Aelita glares at Jeremie.
"Whoa, calm down Princess." Odd gets between her and Jeremie. "I say we stick with the Skid. We know it works and it's safer."
"Well, this new program sounds interesting. Jeremie what if the monsters don't see us? Or do but don't attack? Xana is looking for the Skid not some orbs floating around right?"
"Exactly William!" It was two and two. All eyes are on Yumi.
"Yumi, please, don't risk us getting all killed. It's an untested program in real life." Aelita nearly begs Yumi.
"If Jeremie says it works then it works. And we won't have to fight we can sneak out of Lyoko and to this other Super Computer." William stands near Jeremie and holds his hand out towards Yumi.
"No way William, Jeremie. I trust the Skid we're using the Skid." Jeremie grumbles. William starts too open his mouth then stops.
"Fine. And when Xana attacks it and the mission fails don't come to me telling me I was right." Jeremie sighs. "Just get in the Scanner.
"Wow Einstein what has you in such a bad mood?" Jeremie stares at Odd. "Ok I think I know." Odd and the others go to the Scanner.
Jeremie sends the Lyoko Warriors to Lyoko. "Stand on the platforms." The Lyoko Warriors do and soon appear in the Skidbladnir.
Aelita takes control and soon dives in to the Digital Sea. The entrance opens as the Skidbladnir flies through. "No monsters, yet." Aelita looks around.
"Princess, get us to the Super Computer. We can worry about the monsters when they appear." Odd and the others are nervous. They had not had good luck when it came to destroying Super Computers. Since turning the Super Computer back on they had not destroyed any others except their own.
Aelita pilots the Skidbladnir through a hub and comes out the other side. The area immediately turns red. "Monsters are coming." Aelita readies the Nav Skids.
"Sharks and Kongers are coming from behind us." Yumi grabs the controls for her Nav Skid.
"Let's rock and roll." William grabs his controls. Aelita releases the Nav Skids as torpedoes and lasers fly past them.
"You know I don't think I've ever fought these things with my upgrades." William dodges a torpedo and fires one back. "I can't remember them moving so slowly."
"They're moving fast enough to dodge your torpedoes." Aelita flies the Skidbladnir away from the fighting.
Odd chases after a Shark. "Stay still fish face!" Odd fires a torpedo at the Shark and misses. "Get back here!"
"Odd watch out you idiot!" Yumi fires a torpedo at a Konger that was chasing after Odd.
"Thanks Yumi."
"How many are there? I can't get a reading on any thing." Jeremie brings up his program. "What a waste."
"Two Kongers, two Sharks."
"You realize that with my program they wouldn't even be able to hit you. That's if they even saw you." Jeremie mumbles some thing else under his breath.
"You have no idea what would have happened if the program even worked!" Aelita sees some thing coming towards them. "Jeremie there's some thing on the internet and I don't like it!"
"I can't see any thing describe it."
"It's massive." A large bellowing noise fills Aelita's ears. "And it's beautiful." Aelita sees something much like a blue whale. A dark blue whale with a large F on the top of its back instead of a blow hole. "It's amazing!"
"They're running away!" Odd laughs. "Franz made a monster of a monster." The whale monster bellows again a low pitched song.
"Daddy!" Aelita presses her hand against the glass of the Skidbladnir.
"Aelita be careful. It might be a Franz creation but we don't know if he can keep control of his monsters like Xana."
"I doubt this gentle giant will hurt us." Odd flies near it. "Who's a big sweety." The whale bellows again. "Yes you are. You're such a big sweety!"
"Odd you're scaring us." Yumi flies near him. "Aelita, Jeremie, what do we do?"
"It's leading us some where. Um, we should join back up." Aelita hovers the Skidbladnir and the Nav Skids fly up hooking on to the Skidbladnir.
Aelita and the others follow the monster. No other Xana monsters attempt to attack them as they get to a Replika. "He led you to a different Super Computer. I think the location is near Moscow."
"Ulrich told us my mother was taken to an old communist base. Maybe this Super Computer is near there?"
"Or the Russians built one with knowledge she had." Jeremie sends Aelita the codes to unlock the entrance to the Replika. "This could be amazing."
"Yes it could. I want to go to Earth." Aelita drives the Skidbladnir through the entrance and in to the Replika.
Aelita pilots the Skidbladnir to a Tower and docks. "Jeremie, send me." Aelita looks up at the sky of Lyoko. Was this sky in a Super Computer built by her mother? Were they here to save her mother? "Franz wanted me to find her."
"I'll send you and William." Jeremie brings up the Translation program. "This should work." Jeremie says a short prayer then uses the program.
Aelita and William appear in a dark tunnel. "Jeremie, can you hear us?"
"Yes, where are you?"
"In a dark tunnel. I can't see any thing." Aelita focuses and creates an energy orb. "There's a little light."
"I can't get any plans or blueprints. I don't know what to tell you."
"I have to find her." Aelita walks slowly with the energy orb out front for light.
Odd and Yumi appear on the Sector. "No signs of Ulrich or any of Xana's monsters yet."
"Maybe Xana won't be able to act. If Franz's monster stays at the entrance he could block Xana."
"Uh, Jeremie isn't this an Xana Replika?"
"But he can't be every where at once. Well, he could being a multi agent but he can only focus on so many places. Like the Replika we use. If Xana had focused on it we probably wouldn't have it."
"You're saying Xana is working on some thing bigger than a Replika." Odd shakes his head. "This is bad no matter what he does."
"We wouldn't have to do this or worry about it if Aelita hadn't," Odd cuts Jeremie off.
"Don't you dare be blaming her for this!"
"I didn't mean it like that Odd! I know she didn't mean to do it but it still happened and now we have to deal with it!"
"Yes we do because we wouldn't help her! If we had helped her then maybe we wouldn't be doing any of this! But we ignored her pleas to help her find Franz and this is what happened!"
"I can hear both of you!" Odd and Jeremie keep their mouths shut.
Aelita and William make their way through the tunnels. "There's a light." Aelita climbs over some metal.
"And I'm guessing there will be some thing protecting the Super Computer. Some thing more then robots." William grabs the handle of his Zanbatou.
"Uh, the Russian MIB. We can't kill them."
"I'll do defense. Your energy orb attack should only knock them out." Aelita and William climb over more debris before getting close to the light.
On the Replika Odd and Yumi lay on the Sector. "If Franz's big blue whale keeps Xana away then we have nothing to do." Yumi looks over at Odd. "Got any cards?" Odd shakes his head. "Have any thing to do?" Odd shakes his head. "Can you do any thing then shake your head?" Odd laughs a little. "Ok can you do more then shake your head a laugh a little?" Odd makes a funny face. "No wonder girls can't stay," Yumi stops. "I know what you're doing and stop it."
"I'm just bored out of my skull." Odd's goofy smile makes Yumi smile.
Aelita hear the two talking. "Here we are risking our necks and they're bored." William has his Zanbatou out as they get near a door.
"Jeremie there's a door and an electronic key pad. Can you get the code for us?" Aelita places her hand on the key pad. "I can't read any of these numbers."
"It's in Russian probably. Give me a visual." Aelita does. "This could be difficult. It isn't Xana's but the Russians. But we know there is a Replika and that means a Super Computer."
"It was probably built by my mother. They must have grabbed her to build one. They probably knew Franz would never help them." Aelita looks at the door. "William can you break through?"
"I don't know but I can try. Stand back Aelita." William charges his Zanbatou. "Ha!" He swings and strikes the door hard. The energy slams in to the door and cracks it. "Maybe one of your attacks can break the rest of the way through."
"Energy Field!" Aelita throws the energy orb at the door and the metal breaks more.
"Let me try it again." William charges his Zanbatou and swings it as hard as possible. He slashes through the door and the energy blasts through the rest.
"Open sesame." Aelita and William walk in.
Walking down a long hallway there are a couple flickering lights and nothing else. "Maybe it's abandoned." William is getting the creeps up and down his spine. "Or some thing went wrong."
"Maybe Xana did attack. He might have gone for my mother!" Aelita runs down the hall.
"Aelita wait!" William runs after her.
Odd is staring up in the sky. "Einstein, why can we hear them?"
"Huh?"
"Before we couldn't hear the ones on Earth. You could but not us. Why can we hear them now?"
"I don't know. It is a different Replika and different style program. Aelita, William, can you see any thing yet?"
"No. Just more hallways and doorways." William looks through the glass window on a door. "There's some one in here!" He grabs the handle and swings the door open.
"What? Who is in there?"
"Oh, I'm really glad we can't smell any thing." Aelita makes a face.
"Aelita give me a visual."
"No, you don't want to see this." Aelita and William close the door. "And I know Xana was here." Laser burns on the body and across the wall showed signs of a battle.
"Then why did Franz send you there? If Xana attacked…" Jeremie stops but Aelita knows what he was going to say.
"Mom!" Aelita starts kicking open doors. "Mom, I have to find her!"
On the Replika a black mist appears. "Hello Odd, Yumi."
"Ulrich!" Both leap to their feet.
"I guess I won't be bored any more." Odd aims at Ulrich.
"Maybe, maybe not." Ulrich pulls his swords out. "It was difficult getting past that behemoth but I am here. Why I am isn't clear since this wasn't one of Xana's Replikas." Ulrich gets in to a fighting stance.
"So this is one made by the Russians?" Ulrich looks up.
"Yes Jeremie."
"And you attacked them."
"Xana did. I was, busy, doing some thing else." Yumi gets her fans out.
"I hate you." She focuses on the swords in Ulrich's hands. "I hate you Ulrich!"
"Well I don't hate you Yumi." Ulrich smirks. "I love watching you. If only I could get in the gym when Odd sneaks you in there for your showers and," Ulrich feels a tug on his swords but he is able to keep a hold of them. "Nice try Yumi."
"I can't believe you! You really aren't being controlled Xana! He does stuff with out you and you do things with out him!" Yumi throws her fans at Ulrich but he dodges them. "I hate you!"
"Laser Arrow!" Odd fires at Ulrich who blocks them with his swords.
"You two have no idea what Xana is planning. Half the time I don't even know what he's planning."
"Like killing Aelita's mom?"
"Oh that I know why."
Aelita hears this. "Why! Why does he want my mom dead?!" Aelita kicks a door and finds more nothing.
"Because and no we won't tell you why." Ulrich blocks another laser arrow. "And how am I hearing you?"
"We don't know. This is the first time we've gone from Replika to Replika." Jeremie brings up the Overbike. "Odd, Yumi, in three seconds attack him."
"And what do you think will happen in three seconds?"
"Wait, one, two, three, or one, two, then three?"
"Now!" Jeremie loads the Overbike on to the Replika and it lands on top of Ulrich.
"Hai!"
"Laser Arrow!" Ulrich being distracted by the Overbike is unable to block or dodge and is hit by two fans and two laser arrows.
"Nice trick but not enough to destroy me." Ulrich grabs the Overbike and throws it at Odd.
"Shield!" Odd knocks it away.
"Now I think it is time to show you power!" Ulrich explodes with energy. His clothes turn dark. His skin pale, his eyes are pure black. An aura of pure evil surrounds him.
"Yumi if we didn't have to protect the Skid I would say run away." Odd backs away slowly.
"This isn't Ulrich, its Xana." Yumi steps forward. "He has to be lying. He's trying to trick us!" Yumi pulls four fans out. "Come on Odd we can take Xana."
"Alright Yumi let's take him out!" Odd aims at Ulrich. "Laser Arrow!"
On Earth Aelita finds a locked door. "William can you help me?"
"Of course Aelita." William swings his Zanbatou and slashes through the door. "Whoa."
"What is this?" Aelita and William walk in to a room. "Xana destroyed every thing in here." There were computer parts on the floor. Screens were shattered.
"And some ones. There's blood over here."
"But, this, there's another room." Aelita looks around and sees a hole in the floor. She goes over and looks down. "There's a door here." She puts her hand through the hole and swings the door open. "And a ladder." Aelita starts down and William follows after her.
On Lyoko Yumi and Odd are on either side of Ulrich. "Xana we know you're in control of Ulrich!"
"I can do any thing I want!" Energy sparks around Ulrich. An energy bolt strikes the Sector damaging it. "But I am tired of you! I am tired of offering you every thing you could ever want! Xana is tired of me begging him not to kill you! Now you will find out what I can truly do!"
"This is very, very bad." Odd feels energy pushing him away from Ulrich. "Jeremie we might want help."
"Aelita, William, they need help. Have you found it yet?"
"No, send William. I have to find the Super Computer." Aelita keeps climbing down the ladder.
"Ok, William, you're coming back. After the rest period you'll be fighting Xana." Ulrich snaps at Jeremie.
"Not Xana! I am Ulrich Stern!" Ulrich's blades morph as they become longer. Energy sparks around them. "And now you die!" Ulrich leaps at Odd.
"Shield!" Ulrich slices through the shield easily. "Yumi help!"
"Hai!" Yumi throws four fans at Ulrich. They spin through the air but are knocked away by his energy. "Jeremie we may want to end this mission before Ulrich destroys us and the Skid!"
"Laser Arrow!" Odd's arrows are destroyed. "Einstein I think she has a good idea we can't touch him!"
"Wait, William's time is almost up he'll be able to fight soon!"
"How Jeremie? I'll destroy him just as easily." Ulrich laughs evilly. "Just like I'll destroy you!" Ulrich slashes at Odd destroying him with a single blow. He doesn't go back to Earth and instead goes to the Skidbladnir.
"Aelita we have to pull out!" Jeremie sees the data on the screen. "We didn't know what would happen going from Replika to Replika!"
"Not when I'm so close! I can hear it!" Aelita kicks a door but it won't move. "It's on the other side of this door I know it! I have to destroy it!" She creates an energy orb. "Energy Field!" It hits the door and creates a small hole. "I can see it!"
"Ulrich is going to destroy the Skid!"
"Send me Jeremie I'm ready!" Jeremie acts fast and sends William from the Skidbladnir to the Replika.
"Ulrich, please, don't do this." William gets his Zanbatou out.
"William I know what you've been doing. I know how hard you've tried to get Yumi. But she will never leave me for you. Don't you see that? How pathetic are you that even after I joined Xana for this power she still won't have you?" Ulrich points his sword at William. "And now I'll send you back as early as you came here." An energy bolt fires out from his sword and hits William in the chest destroying him. But instead of going back to Earth he is back in the Skidbladnir.
"Ok this is new." Jeremie checks the information coming in.
"He's not pathetic you are." Yumi backs away slowly. "He didn't want to help Xana, you do."
"I don't have to though. But what reason do I have not to? So I can be weak and stupid again? I can have any thing or be any thing now. I will make my father proud!" Ulrich starts walking towards Yumi. His energy destroys the Sector around him.
"Who cares what he thinks? Shouldn't you care what I think? What your friends think? Ulrich please don't do this."
"Shut up!"
Aelita breaks through the rest of the door and sees the Super Computer. "Jeremie maybe we can find out what happened or where she is with this."
"Aelita we don't have time. Just destroy it before Ulrich destroys the Skid!" Jeremie bites his lower lip. "Hurry, please."
"I, I have to know. Franz sent us here for a reason." Aelita goes to the control panel and starts working on it.
"Aelita please we don't have time!" Jeremie brings up her profile. "I'll give you three minutes then you're going back in to the Skid."
"Thank you." Aelita works as fast as she can.
On Lyoko Ulrich has Yumi backed to the edge of the Sector. "Yumi it is hopeless to fight us. We can and will kill you. Xana killed the Russians easily. Do you think you can fight us?"
"Yes, I know I, we can. Come back to use Ulrich. We won't hate you if you help us." Yumi gets two fans out. "I won't fight you if you come back to us." She tosses them behind her and over the edge.
"You can't fight me! I will destroy you and then the Skidbladnir and it will be over! Xana will complete his plans and he will control the world!" Ulrich gets closer to Yumi. "Join me so you can live."
"I'd rather die then join Xana." Yumi leaps backwards off the edge.
"Yumi!" Ulrich doesn't try to save her. "Stupid girl." His energy disappears. "No I have to help her." He runs to the edge and looks over it.
"Hai!" Yumi throws a fan and hits Ulrich in the face. She had used her psychic powers to control the fans she threw over and stuck them in to the side of the Sector. When she jumped over she landed on them. She leaps back on to the Sector and grabs Ulrich. "Good bye traitor!" Yumi knees Ulrich in the stomach then pulls back to throw him over the edge.
Aelita is getting nervous. Her three minutes were almost over and she was still fighting with security programs. "Aelita,"
"I know my time is up." Aelita sighs. "And we are so close too."
"No, you have more time. Yumi tricked him. Find out what you can then destroy it." Jeremie leans back in the chair. "I hope you find her."
"I do too." Aelita's fingers fly over the keyboard.
Two hours later the Skid is docked back on the Replika the Lyoko Warriors controlled. "And welcome back."
"Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop." Odd laughs at his joke. "Keep your hands inside the car at all times." Odd laughs again.
Jeremie brings the Warriors back. Aelita goes to him and hugs him. "I'm sorry for arguing earlier."
"Um, I'm sorry too." Jeremie hugs her back.
"Aw, you two are so cute." Odd laughs a little. "But I'm probably late for work. I didn't expect to be on Lyoko for that long."
"Sorry Odd."
"Don't be Princess. I'm sure all that information you got from the Russians will help us find your mother." Odd leaves the room.
"Well, what ever." William walks out of the room. Yumi watches him feeling bad but doesn't go after him.
