Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko
Review and please do not flame.
Today at Kadic, in the cafeteria, the students are eating their dinner as Jim is making an announcement, or rather, giving them a lecture.
"..And so, I shall remind you all, that your curfew is 10 o'clock on weekdays and 11 o'clock on weekends. If I catch any of you sneaking out of your rooms or trying to sneak back in, you'll have to deal with me and the principal, understand?" Jim said to the students.
Over at the Lyoko warriors tables, the younger Lyoko warriors, minus Zenon, are sitting at their table.
"Man, what's that all about? Why's Jim reminding us of our curfews all of a sudden?" asked Ulrich.
"Didn't you hear? There's been a string of crazy parties going on in the city lately. Everybody's dying to go to one." said Odd.
"I've never been to a party before. What're they like?" asked Aelita.
"Well, these parties that everyone wants to go to are the stupid kind." said Jeremy.
"Come on, Einstein. What's not to like about them?" asked Odd.
"Yeah. Everybody goes to dance and have a good time." said Ulrich.
"Why would I want to dance at a party when I can do that in my room." said Jeremy. "And besides, all they ever do at those parties is drink and other illegal stuff."
"Not everyone drinks at a party, Einstein." said Odd.
"Have you ever been invited to a party, Odd?" asked Aelita.
"Er...Well...No." said Odd.
"Hey, has anyone seen Zenon?" asked Ulrich.
"Oh, she's in her room. She said she was feeling pretty tired so she's taking a nap." said Aelita.
"She looks like she hasn't been getting enough sleep lately. I hope she's alright." said Jeremy.
"I gave her a picture of me to put at her bedside so I'll be the last thing she sees before she goes to sleep." said Odd with a smile.
"Maybe that's why she can't sleep at night. Because your picture's giving her nightmares and keeping her up." said Ulrich with a smirk, causing Aelita and Jeremy to laugh.

Early the next morning, it is about 7:30 a.m., Zenon is walking through the hallway of the dormitory building.
Zenon is wearing a blue and green tank top, a black skirt, and her hair up in a ponytail. She is walking barefoot, carrying a pair of heels in her hand, a tired look on her face. She lets out a groan as she is walking towards her room.
"Ugh...Too much to drink last night...I need sleep." Zenon groaned as she approached her door.
When Zenon reaches her door, she takes out her key, places it into the lock and unlocks the door.
Zenon walks towards her bed, dropping the pair of heels that were in her hand on to the floor. Zenon plops onto her bed and lays down.
"Alright, I'll just take a little nap and I'll get ready for class." said Zenon as she placed her head on the pillow.
Zenon slowly closes her eyes and slowly starts to drift off to sleep.
A few seconds later, there's a knock at her door.
"...You've got to be kidding me..." said Zenon with a groan.
"Zenon! Let's go! It's time for breakfast!" said Odd from the other side of the door.
Zenon lets out another groan as she slowly sits up on her bed.
"Oh, uh..Go on without me. I'm not hungry. I'll meet up with you guys in class." said Zenon.
"Are you sure? Are you okay? Do you want me to come in?" asked Odd.
"No no! I'm fine! You can have my portion if you want!" said Zenon.
"Alright! I'll see you later then!" said Odd before he ran off to the cafeteria.
Zenon lets out a sigh of relief.
"That takes care of him...Now, I'll just...Take a little nap before class..." said Zenon before she laid down again, drifting off to sleep.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that morning, on the field, the younger Lyoko warriors, minus Zenon, and their classmates are sitting in the bleachers as Jim is taking attendance for P.E. class.
"Hey, you guys know where Zenon is? She wasn't in science this morning." said Aelita.
"No. I haven't seen her at all today. Do you know where she is, Odd?" asked Jeremy.
"I knocked on her door before breakfast, but she told me she was going to meet up with us in class." said Odd.
"I wonder if she's okay." said Ulrich.
"Pichon...Xao..." said Jim as he took attendance. "...Kar..."
Jim looks around for Zenon, but doesn't see her in the bleachers.
"Hm? Kar? Where's Zenon Kar?" asked Jim.
Just then, Zenon is running up to Jim, dressed in her clothes for P.E.
"S-Sorry I'm late, Jim. I came as fast as I could." said Zenon as she tried to catch her breath.
"Zenon! That's strike 1! Where were you?" asked Jim.
"I overslept..." said Zenon.
"That's strike 2, Kar. Now take your seat before I give you another strike." said Jim.
Zenon just lets out a silent groan as she goes over and sits with her friends.
"Zenon, where were you? You missed science." said Ulrich.
"I overslept..When Odd knocked on my door I was in the middle of sleeping and went back to sleep after he left...I didn't hear my alarm go off. By the time I woke up it was time for P.E. So I ran over here as fast as I could.." said Zenon before letting out a yawn.
"Are you sure you should be here right now? You look like you could use more sleep." said Aelita.
"Yeah. Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" asked Odd.
"Uh..Not really...I've been up late for the past couple of nights." said Zenon.
"What were you doing?" asked Jeremy.
"Uh..I was..studying..." said Zenon, a bit nervously.
"But, we don't have any tests coming up.." said Jeremy.
"Well...You know...The teachers like to surprise us with random quizes, so I...I want to be ready..." said Zenon, looking to the side a bit.
Zenon lets out another yawn.
"What are we even doing today?" asked Zenon.
"Jim's going to make us race..." said Ulrich.
"Alright, everyone. I'm going to have you all race each other and see how fast each of you can run. It'll be three at a time...Let's see who'll go first..." started Jim. "Claire...Magali...and..."
"Oh, wonderful...I just hope he doesn't..." started Zenon.
"...And Zenon." said Jim, picking his three people.
"...Pick me..." said Zenon as she finished her sentence with a groan. "Jim, I don't want to go..."
"Too bad! You were late, so I'm making you go first! So, move it!" ordered Jim.
Zenon lets out a tired groan as she gets up and walks onto the track.
The three girls line up on the track, getting ready to race.
"On your mark...Get set...Go!" said Jim before blowing his whistle, signalling the three students to start running.
The three then start to run.
Claire and Magali are running way ahead of Zenon, who is running rather slowly, a very tired look on her face.
"Zenon doesn't look good. Maybe it wasn't a good idea for Jim to make her run." said Aelita.
"I hope she'll be okay." said Jeremy.
A few seconds later, the students all see Zenon collapsing onto the track face first.
"Zenon!" shrieked Odd as he quickly jumped out of the bleachers and ran over to his girlfriend's side.
Odd kneels down next to Zenon. Zenon's eyes are closed. Zenon's softly snoring, appearing to be falling asleep.
"Zenon, are you okay?" asked Odd as she shook Zenon's shoulders.
"Huh...Odd? What's happening? Did I win?" asked Zenon as she was half asleep.
Just then, Jim walks over to the two.
"No, you didn't win. But you did win your third strike!" said Jim, glaring at the girl. "Now, wake up and make your way to the principal's office!"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that day, in the cafeteria, the 6 Lyoko warriors are sitting at their table.
Zenon has her head in her hand, her eyes closed. She's softly snoring, Zenon asleep.
"...Zenon...Zenon! Wake up, Zenon!" said Yumi as she woke her friend up.
"Huh? Oh...Sorry. What's going on?" asked Zenon, opening one eye.
"We were asking you what the principal said." said Jeremy.
"Oh...I was drifting in and out...I think he said something about detention or something..." said Zenon before letting out a yawn.
"I'm worried, Zenon. You look like you haven't been getting any sleep for the past few days." said Aelita.
"Yeah. Not sleeping enough isn't good for your health." said Ulrich.
"I'll be fine, guys..." said Zenon as she let out a yawn.
"You look too tired to eat...So, I'll gladly take your portion if you want..." said Odd as he reached over for Zenon's tray of food.
Before Odd could even stick his fork into Zenon's food, Zenon grabs her fork and places the pointed edges on Odd's hand.
"Touch my food and I'll break your hand faster than I'll break up with you.." said Zenon with a glare.
Odd quickly pulls his hand back into his side, fear on his face.
"I forgot...You're really grouchy when you're tired..." said Odd with a slight whimper.
On the other side of the cafeteria, at Sissi's table, Herb and Nicholas are sitting together as Sissi approaches the table and sits with them.
"So, what are you guys going to do tonight?" asked Sissi.
"Me and Herb are going to go on a fantastic and breathtaking experience in the moonlight tonight." said Nicholas.
"It's a stupid fishing trip in the river, idiot..." said Herb with a sigh.
"Want to come along, Sissi?" asked Nicholas.
"No, because we're going to a party tonight." said Sissi with a smile.
"A party? Really? Where?" asked Herb.
"Downtown in the city, of course." said Sissi.
"What time?" asked Herb.
"The party starts at midnight." said Sissi.
"Midnight?" asked Nicholas.
"Yeah, isn't our curfew tonight at 11?" asked Herb.
"We're going to sneak out, stupid!" said Sissi.
"But, won't we get in trouble if Jim catches us?" asked Nicholas.
"Relax. Jim'll do inspection at 11 and be asleep by 11:15. That'll give us more than enough time to sneak out and go to the party." said Sissi.
"But..." started Herb before Sissi interrupted.
"Chill out, Herb. I know what I'm doing. You two just come to my room at 11:15 and we'll get going. And don't forget to wear your party clothes." said Sissi before she got up and walked away.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that evening, after her detention, Zenon is walking outside of the room.
Zenon finds Odd standing outside waiting for her.
"Hey, how was detention?" asked Odd.
"Well, Jim fell asleep as soon as I walked in so I managed to get a nap." said Zenon with a smirk.
"So are you feeling more rested?" asked Odd.
"Yep." said Zenon.
"That's great!" said Odd with a smile.
"So, Zenon, there's this movie that just came out...And I was thinking you and I could go see it tonight." said Odd with a hopeful smile.
"Oh...Sorry, Odd. I...I have somethinig to do tonight..." said Zenon.
"Really? What?" asked Odd with a small frown.
"I...Uhm...Have to do something with my aunt tonight." said Zenon.
"Oh..Okay..." said Odd with a sad look on his face.
"Don't worry, Odd. I'll see the movie with you tomorrow night. I promise." said Zenon with a small smile.
"Okay then." said Odd with a small smile.
"I've gotta get going now. I'll see you later." said Zenon as she kissed her boyfriend before running off.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that night, Sissi is in her room, getting ready for the party.
Sissi is wearing a pink, one shoulder blouse that reaches her navel and blue jeans and a pair of platform heels and her hair is styled in waves.
"This is going to be the best night ever." said Sissi with a smile as she applied mascara to her eyelashes.
Sissi looks over to her clock. The clock reads 11:25.
"Those dorks are 10 minutes late. Where are they?" wondered Sissi.
Just then, there is a knock at her door.
Sissi walks over to her door and opens it to find Nicholas and Herb standing there.
"About time." said Sissi.
Sissi looks at their outfits.
Nicholas is wearing a yellow collared shirt tucked into his gray slacks. Herb is wearing a white collared shirt with a green bow tie, brown slacks and black suspenders.
"What are you losers wearing?" asked Sissi as she inspected her two minions' outfits.
"You told us to wear our party clothes." said Herb.
Sissi then lets out a sigh.
"I should've known better..." said Sissi as she shook her head in disappointment.
"Well no time for you guys to change, so it'll have to do. Let's go." said Sissi as she pushed the two boys out of the room and dragged them off to the party.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, in Jeremy's room, Aelita is standing next to Jeremy as he's working on his computer, while Ulrich and Odd are sitting on Jeremy's bed. Odd with a mopey look on his face.
"Come on, Odd. Cheer up. It's not like Zenon doesn't wanna hang out with you. She told you she had something to do." said Ulrich.
"But every friday night me and Zenon do somethinig together!" said Odd with a disappointed groan.
"Don't worry, Odd. Maybe Zenon's aunt just wants to spend some time with her since they haven't done anything together in a while." said Aelita.
"Yeah. Maybe she and her aunt are going to a party tonight." said Ulrich with a smirk.
"Oh, no. Zenon doesn't party. She wouldn't be caught dead at one." said Jeremy.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that night, downtown, at the party, music is blasting, people are dancing and having a good time.
Sissi and her group are sitting in a corner.
"Uh..Are you having a good time Sissi?" asked Herb.
"No! It's been 2 hours and none of the guys have asked me to dance or even asked me for my number." said Sissi with a disappointed groan.
"I managed to get a girl's number." said Nicholas with a smile as he took out a piece of paper.
Sissi grabs the paper from Nicholas and looks at it.
"Idiot. It's just the number 6." said Sissi.
"And besides, the girl who gave it to you was drunk out of her mind." said Herb.
Sissi lets out a groan.
"Stupid party..." mumbled Sissi.
Just then, Sissi hears a group of people laughing loudly.
Sissi's eyes slightly widen as she recognizes the voice of one of the laughs she had heard.
"Huh? No way..." said Sissi as she looked around the room.
"Sissi? Is something wrong?" asked Herb.
Sissi looks around the room until she spots a familiar person.
"You've got to be kidding." said Sissi as she quickly got up and walked away towards a group of people.
Herb and Nicholas quickly follow behind Sissi.
Sissi approaches a group of people and spots Zenon sitting amongst them.
"Zenon?" Sissi called out to the girl.
Zenon quickly turns her head and her eyes widen as she spots Sissi.
"Sissi! Wh-What are you doing here?" asked Zenon in shock.
"What are you doing here, Alien girl?" asked Sissi.
Before Zenon could answer, one of the people from the group, a tall, muscular male, intervenes.
"Hey, can I help you? I don't need you causing trouble with one of my friends, you hear? Don't give me a reason to throw you and your little flunkies out of my party." said the male as he glared at Sissi.
"James, relax. I know this girl." said Zenon, trying to calm the guy down.
"Really, Zenon?" asked James, turning towards the girl.
"Yeah! My name's Sissi. We all go to the same school together." said Sissi with a smile.
"You're friends with Zenon?" asked James.
"Yeah! Of course. We're best friends! Right, Zenon?" asked Sissi.
"Uh...I...I guess?" said Zenon with a confused look.
"See! Me and Zenon are totally cool!" said Sissi.
"Well. Alright. Any friend of Zenon's is a friend of mine." said James with a smile, warming up to Sissi. "Here. Come sit with us, guys."
Sissi and her gang sits among the group. Sissi sits next to Zenon.
"Wow. This is such a cool party." Sissi said with a smile.
"But, Sissi, I thought you said it was stu-." started Nicholas before Sissi elbowed him in the stomach.
"So, how do you guys know Zenon?" asked Sissi.
"Well, I met her at a party last week and we started talking and I kept inviting her out to some of the parties my friends have been throwing lately." said James.
"Wow. Seems like good ol' Zenon here's a real party girl." said Sissi with a smirk as she looked over to Zenon.
"So, Zenon. Does Jeremy and the others know where you are right now?" Sissi asked.
"No. I rather them not know where I am." said Zenon.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, back at Kadic. In the dormitory building, Jeremy is walking down the hallway, walking back towards his room from the bathroom.
As he's walking, he bumps into Jim.
"Belpois! What are you doing up at this hour?" asked Jim.
"Uh..Using the bathroom, Jim. Boys like me have to pee..." said Jeremy. "What are you doing up at this hour?"
"Oh, I just came back in from a date with the wife. Ah..Such a wonderful night, just the two of us." said Jim with a dreamy smile, earning an eyeroll from Jeremy.
"Yeah...I'm sure you two must've had a blast." said Jeremy.
Just then, something clicks into Jeremy's brain.
"Wait...You were with my aunt tonight? Just the two of you?" asked Jeremy.
"Yeah." said Jim.
"Zenon wasn't with you guys?" asked Jeremy.
"No, why?" asked Jim.
"Oh, uh...Nothing. I forgot Zenon..uh..Had a date with Odd tonight. I don't know why I thought she was with our aunt. My bad, Jim." lied Jeremy.
"Oh. Okay, then. Get back to your room now." said Jim as he walked off.
"Huh...I wonder where Zenon was tonight." said Jeremy as he walked back in the direction of his room.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Back at the party, in Zenon's group, Sissi is telling the group a story.
"...And so, that's how my boyfriend, Ulrich, saved me from a burning building while we were vacationing in the Swiss Alps.." said Sissi, obviously making up that story.
Zenon just rolls her eyes as she heard Sissi's story.
"Wow, Sissi. He sure sounds like he loves you." said a girl from the group.
"Of course he does. He loves me and me alone." said Sissi with a smile.
Zenon rolls her eyes at Sissi once more.
James goes over to the group of Kadic students and hands them each a red cup.
"Here, guys. I got you all something to drink." said James.
"Thanks!" said Herb with a smile as he took a sip of the drink.
Herb sips his drink before spitting it out.
"Ugh..What is this?" asked Herb, disgust in his voice as he wondered what he had just drank.
"It's beer." said James.
"What? Beer? But, aren't we underage?" asked Herb.
"Relax, dude. We never get caught, so don't worry about it." said James.
"Yeah, Herb. Just relax." said Sissi before she took a sip out of her cup.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
About an hour later, at the party, the music is still blasting, almost half of the people are sitting down, either tired or drunk.
With Zenon's group, nearly everyone is leaning back in their seats.
"Ugh...I don't feel so good." groaned Nicholas.
"Yeah...Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for me to drink 3 cups of beer..." said Sissi.
"Ugh..I feel dizzy..." groaned Herb.
"Guys, it's 4 in the morning. Maybe we should get back to Kadic now..." said Zenon.
"Yeah, you're right.." said Sissi as she slowly started to get up from her seat. Sissi starts to get up, but almost instantly falls back into her seat.
"You guys don't look so good...Maybe I should-." started James before there was a loud banging sound.
Everyone looks over to the entrance and sees 5 police officers busting through the door, their guns pointed out and everything.
"Alright, everyone! Party's over!" yelled one of the officers.
James walks over to the officers.
"Excuse me, officers, but what seems to be the problem?" asked James.
"We got a phone call from someone under the name of Xana that there was some funny business going on here." said one of the officers.
"Well, sir, I can promise you that nothing wrong is going on here." said James.
The police officers smells something and moves closer to James.
"Young man, do I smell alcohol on your breath?" asked the police officer
"Uh..." said James nervously as he put a hand over his mouth.
"That is alcohol! That's it, all of you are under arrest!" yelled the officer.
All of the party goers begin to frantically run, trying to escape the police.
Some are being chased while others are caught and arrested.
"Oh, man. We've gotta get out of here." said Zenon, quickly getting up.
"Ugh...I don't feel so good." moaned Sissi.
"Sissi, you have to pull yourself together." said Zenon, grabbing a hold of Sissi's hand, pulling her up from her seat.
Zenon turns to the side and spots a police officer running in their direction.
"Oh, crap. Guys, we've gotta get out of here. One of the cops is coming this way." said Zenon.
The four Kadic students start to run away from the officer that was chasing them.
The four manage to make it outside into the streets, but the officer is still hot on their trail, following behind them.
Nicholas and Herb are running far ahead of Sissi and Zenon.
"Zenon, I...I don't think I can make it..I don't feel so well..." said Sissi as she started to slow down, beginning to fall behind.
"Sissi, don't worry. Just a few more sprints and we'll lose the cop." said Zenon, trying to motivate the girl to move faster.
After a few minutes of running, Sissi suddenly collapses onto the ground.
Zenon stops and goes over to help Sissi.
"Sissi, you've got to get up." said Zenon, trying to help Sissi up.
"No, Zenon. You go on without me..." said Sissi with a groan.
Zenon looks behind her and sees the cop is getting closer and closer.
Zenon turns and spots an alley way.
"Sissi, this way!" said Zenon as she helped Sissi up.
As soon as she gets Sissi back on her feet, Zenon and Sissi run down into the alley way, the police officer chasing after them.
The two then run as fast as they can down the alley way.
The two then approach a fence.
"Oh, no. We're never gonna make it over the fence..." groaned Sissi. "We're going to jail..."
Zenon looks behind her and sees the cop getting closer to them. Zenon looks to her side and spots a metal door.
"No, Sissi. I'm going to jail..." said Zenon.
Zenon quickly goes over to the door and tries to open it, but it's locked.
"Damn it..." mumbled Zenon.
Zenon places her hand on the door handle, her hand starting to glow green.
Zenon manages to use her powers to unlock the door and open it.
Zenon grabs Sissi and pushes her through the door.
"Zenon, what are you doing?" asked Sissi.
"Relax. Close the door and don't come out until the coast is clear. As soon as the coast is clear, head back to Kadic." instructed Zenon.
"But, what about you?" asked Sissi.
"I'll be fine. Just go back to Kadic and don't say a word of this to anyone." said Zenon before she closed the door, using her powers to lock the door.
Zenon turns around to find the police officer that was chasing after her right behind her.
"Oh! Uh..Hey, officer...How can I help you?" asked Zenon with a sheepish smile.
"You're in a lot of trouble, young lady.." said the officer as he took out a pair of handcuffs.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The next morning, at Kadic, in the cafeteria, the younger Lyoko warriors, minus Zenon, are sitting at their table for breakfast.
"It's so weird...Zenon wasn't in her room this morning." said Odd.
"Yeah. Me and Odd went to go get her for breakfast, but she wasn't there." said Ulrich.
"I tried calling her, but she never answered." said Aelita.
"It's just so weird. She said that she was doing something with our aunt last night, but Jim said he was on a date with her alone. Zenon wasn't with them." said Jeremy. "I'm just wondering where Zenon really was last night and where she is right now."
"I just hope she's alright." said Odd.
A few moments later, Sissi walks past the Lyoko warriors' table with a mixture of a sad and shocked expression on her face.
"Whoa. What's wrong with Sissi? She doesn't look so good..." said Aelita.
"Hey, Sissi." Ulrich called out to the girl.
Sissi turns and walks over to where the others were sitting.
"Oh. Yes, Ulrich? You need something?" Sissi asked in a tone that was different from her usual tone; a more soft and sad voice.
"Something wrong, Sissi?" asked Jeremy.
"Oh...Everything's...Everything's fine..I'm just not...Feeling too well..." said Sissi with a soft sigh.
"Maybe you should go to the infirmary." said Aelita.
"No, it's...It's not that...Just a lot on my mind..." said Sissi before she walked away.
"I wonder what's wrong with Sissi. She doesn't seem like her usual, obnoxious self." said Ulrich.
A few seconds later, Odd's phone starts to ring. Odd presses a button on his phone to answer it.
"Hello?" answered Odd.
'You have a collect call. Would you like to accept the charges?' an automated voice said on the other end of the phone.
"Uh...Sure." said Odd, confused.
A few seconds later, there is a small click.
'Hello?' said Zenon from the other end.
"Zenon? Where are you?" asked Odd.
'Uh...Well...I don't know how to tell you this, but...' started Zenon. 'I'm in jail...'
"What?!" yelled out Odd in surprise. "What are you doing there?!"
'It's a long story...' said Zenon.
"Do you want me to have Jeremy call your aunt?" asked Odd.
'No! Don't call my aunt. If she finds out, Jim'll find out. And if Jim finds out, he'll go to the principal and I'm as good as expelled.' said Zenon.
"We have to get you out somehow, Zenon." said Odd.
'Good luck with that. My bail's $100.' said Zenon.
"Don't worry. Me and the others'll take care of it!" said Odd.
'Thanks, Odd...That means so much to me...I have to go. My time's up.' said Zenon before she hung up.
"Where's Zenon?" asked Aelita.
"She's in jail." said Odd.
"What?! What's she doing there?" asked Jeremy.
"She wouldn't tell me. But we have to go bail her out." said Odd.
"How much is her bail?" asked Ulrich.
"$100." said Odd.
"Where are we gonna get that kind of money on such short notice?" asked Ulrich.
"I don't know, but we have to help Zenon. Who knows what terrible stuff they're going to do to my precious girlfriend in jail." said Odd in a worried tone.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, on Lyoko, in the Ice Sector, a tower suddenly begins to glow red.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Moments later, in the city, the 5 remaining Lyoko warriors are walking towards the police station where Zenon is being held.
"Thanks again for getting us the money, Yumi." said Ulrich.
"Yeah. Only thing is the next time I get my allowance, it won't be for another year..." said Yumi with a slight groan. "Just what was Zenon doing that got her arrested?"
"We don't know. She wouldn't tell me." said Odd.
"Hopefully she'll explain herself after we bail her out of jail." said Jeremy.
A few moments later, the group approaches the police station. The group walks in and approaches the counter where a clerk is sitting.
"Yes? May I help you?" asked the clerk.
"Uh, we're here to bail out Zenon Kar..." said Jeremy.
"Her bail is set at $100." said the clerk.
Jeremy hands the clerk the money. The clerk counts the money, making sure all $100 is there.
"Alright. Just give me a few minutes and she'll be out." said the clerk as he started to type on his computer.
Behind the counter, in out of the outlets, a black smoke starts to creep out of the outlet.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, in a jail cell, Zenon is sitting there with a few of the people she was at the party with.
"Man, this sucks...I've never been arrested before." said James with a groan.
"It could be worse. I've been arrested by the FBI..." said Zenon.
"Really?" asked James in shock and amazement.
"Er...Sort of..." said Zenon.
"I just wonder who was that Xana person that called the cops..." said James.
"I think I may know who..." mumbled Zenon with a small groan.
Just then, a police officer approaches the cell and opens it.
"Zenon Kar, you're free to go." said the officer.
"Really?" asked Zenon, getting up from her seat.
"Good luck, Zenon. Hopefully I'll see you on the other side soon?" asked James.
"Probably not. After last night, I'm done partying.." said Zenon.
"Oh..." said James with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Don't worry, we can still be friends..." said Zenon with a smile before she walked away with the officer.
As the officer is leading her down the hall, another officer approaches them.
"Hm? Something wrong?" asked the officer that was with Zenon.
Zenon looks into the other officer's eyes and notice the eye of Xana in his pupils.
"Oh, crap..." mumbled Zenon.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, in the waiting area, the 5 Lyoko warriors are waiting for Zenon to come out.
"I wonder what's taking so long." said Aelita.
A few moments later, the group hears a loud banging noise.
"What's going on?" wondered Ulrich.
Just then, the 5 see Zenon flying through the doors, appearing to have been thrown. Zenon slides on her back across the floor and hits the wall.
The 5 then run over to her.
"Zenon, are you okay?" asked Yumi.
"Guys...Xana's possessed some of the officers...We've got to get out of here..." said Zenon as she began to get up.
A few seconds later, the group sees a bunch of Xana-fied cops running into the room, firing bullets from their guns.
The Lyoko warriors quickly head out of the station and make their way towards the factory.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Moments later, in the factory, the 6 exit the elevator. Jeremy walks over to the computer and sits in front of it.
Jeremy presses a few keys on the keyboard and a window pops up, showing an activated tower on Lyoko.
"Alright, guys. Xana's activated a tower in the Ice Sector. Head down to the scanners and I'll virtualize you guys." said Jeremy.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Later, on the Ice Sector, the 5 Lyoko warriors are riding on their respective vehicles, Aelita riding with Yumi, towards the activated tower.
"The tower shouldn't be too far from you guys. Just keep heading 20 degrees north." said Jeremy.
"Zenon, you still haven't told us. What were you doing last night that ended up with you getting arrested?" asked Ulrich.
"Yeah! I wanna know why you lied to me! Your own boyfriend!" said Odd with a huff.
Zenon lets out a groan.
"Fine. I snuck out of Kadic to go to a party. That's what I've been doing for the past few nights. I've been sneaking out to a couple of parties in the city and I sneak back in as the sun's rising. That's why I've been so tired lately." said Zenon.
"But, Zenon, that's dangerous. Something worse than getting arrested could've happened to you." said Aelita.
"I know. Sissi was at the party, too. It was 4 a.m. and Sissi had a little too much to drink..." explained Zenon. "Out of nowhere the cops busted in and broke up the party. As soon as they smelled alcohol, they started to arrest people, and everyone went running. Sissi and I managed to get out of the party, but the cop was still chasing us. We ended up running down an alley. We came to a dead-end, but I pushed Sissi through a door and helped her escape. And that's when the cop arrested me."
"Maybe that's why Sissi was acting weird this morning." said Ulrich.
"Sounds like you've had a pretty interesting night." said Yumi with a smirk.
"This is the second time Xana's gotten me arrested..." said Zenon with a groan.
The 5 continue to make their way towards the tower.
Before they knew it, a laser is fired in their direction and hits Zenon in her back, knocking her off of her vehicle, causing her to fall to the ground.
Zenon lets out a groan as she looks behind her. She spots 3 Krabs heading coming towards her and her friends.
"Careful, guys. 3 Krabs heading your way." informed Jeremy.
"Great. I guess Xana's not too pleased that I'm out of jail.." said Zenon as she got up.
"You guys go on ahead. Zenon and I'll take care of these guys." said Odd.
The other three Lyoko warriors continue on ahead towards the tower as Odd and Zenon stayed behind to take care of the monsters.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile in the lab, Jeremy is monitoring the activities on Lyoko.
A few moments later, Jeremy hears the elevator opening up.
"Huh? Who could that be?" wondered Jeremy, confused as he saw the elevator opening.
When the elevator opens up, a Xana-fied police officer walks out of the elevator.
"Oh crap..." said Jeremy as his eyes widened at the sight of the officer.
"Uh..Guys. One of the officers that Xana's possessed is in the lab. You guys gotta hurry up and deactivate the tower!" said Jeremy.
Before he knew it, a shot is fired in Jeremy's direction, fortunately missing him.
Jeremy quickly jumps out of his seat and runs away as the officer begins to fire more shots at the boy.
x-x-x-x-x
Back on Lyoko, Odd and Zenon are fighting against the 3 Krabs.
"Jeremy, sounds like he's in trouble." said Odd as he fired laser arrows at the Krabs. One of Odd's laser arrows hits the Krab, destroying it.
"Hopefully the others'll deactivate the tower in time." said Zenon.
One of the Krabs fires its laser as Zenon. Zenon blocks the laser with one of her fans and throws the other at the Krab. The fan hits the Krab, destroying it, and flies back towards Zenon.
Before the fan could come back to Zenon, the remaining Krab fires a laser at it, deflecting the weapon away.
"No fair.." groaned Zenon.
Before she knew it, Zenon is hit by a laser fired by the monster. Zenon then devirtualizes.
Before the Krab could fire a laser at Odd, the monster is soon destroyed by the boy's laser arrows.
"That's for devirtualizing my lying, partying jail-bird girlfriend." said Odd with a smirk.
x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, back in the lab, Jeremy continues to run away from the Xana-fied officer that was firing its gun at him.
Jeremy manages to dodge the bullets that were being fired at him.
"Oh, how long does it take to deactivate a tower.." groaned Jeremy as he ran for his life.
Jeremy then soon trips over one of the wires in the lab, falling to the ground.
Jeremy lets out a groan as he turns to find the officer standing over him, its gun pointed straight at Jeremy.
Jeremy cowers in fear, knowing the officer is about to shoot him.
The officer pulls the trigger of the gun. Jeremy closes his eyes tight, knowing what's about to happen.
After a few seconds, Jeremy doesn't feel anything.
Jeremy slowly opens his eyes to find a bullet floating in the air, mere centimeters from his face.
"What's going on?" wondered Jeremy, confused.
Jeremy turns to find Zenon standing across the room, her glowing hand pointing out in front of her.
"Alright, Xana. You can send me to jail, but don't think I'll be fine with you shooting my cousin." said Zenon.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile on Lyoko, Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita are making their way towards the activated tower.
"I see the tower." said Aelita, spotting the tower in the distance.
"It's weird how we didn't see any more monsters or even-." started Ulrich before a blast of energy was fired at him, hitting the boy, devirtualizing him.
The two girls look behind them to find William running towards them.
"Great. Just what we needed" groaned Yumi.
William swings his sword and fires another blast of energy towards the two female Lyoko warriors, hitting the Overwing.
The vehicle is destroyed by the blast and the two fall to the ground.
"Aelita, I'll take care of William. The tower is just up ahead." said Yumi as she got up.
Aelita nods her head as she quickly got up and started off for the tower.
"Alright, pretty boy. It's just you and me now." said Yumi as she took out her two fans.
William runs towards Yumi, holding his sword, ready to swing at the girl.
Yumi throws her two fans at William. The fans fly towards William.
William swings his sword and deflects the two fans.
As he approaches Yumi, William kicks Yumi in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
Yumi groans as she sees William standing over her.
William evily smirks at the girl as he lifts his sword, ready to hit her.
Before William could hit Yumi, William is soon shot by several laser arrows, devirtualizing him.
Yumi sits up to find Odd arriving on his Overboard.
"No need to thank me. Just consider it an early Christmas present." said Odd jokingly with a smile.
Meanwhile, Aelita is approaching the activated tower.
Aelita enters the tower and steps onto the platform and walks to the center. When she reaches the center, she begins to float up to the platform above. When she lands onto the above platform, she walks to the center as a screen appears in front of her. Aelita places her hand on the screen and it reads:
Aelita...Code: Lyoko...
"Tower deactivated.." said Aelita. The tower then goes from glowing red to white.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Back in the lab, the officer points its gun at Zenon.
Before the officer could fire, the eye of Xana disappears from the officer's pupils. The officer then faints and falls to the ground.
"Phew...That was close..." said Zenon as she let out a sigh.
Jeremy walks over to the computer and presses a few keys, setting up a return in time.
"Return to the past...Now." said Jeremy as he pressed a button, activating the return in time.
Soon, the area is engulfed in a bright light as time is reversed.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Earlier that day, in the courtyard, the 6 Lyoko warriors are sitting together.
"So, Zenon. Did you decide to go partying last night?" asked Yumi with a smirk.
"Nope. Stayed here and finally got a good night's sleep." said Zenon with a smirk of her own.
"That's good." said Aelita.
"I'm still upset with you, Zenon." said Odd with a huff.
Zenon lets out a groan.
"Odd, I already apologized for lying to you for the thousandth time. What are you still upset about?" asked Zenon.
"I'm upset that you've gone to so many parties, but you never once offered to take me to one!" said Odd.
"Well...Uh...There's a good reason for that...Uh..." started Zenon, nervous, unsure of what to tell Odd.
"Here's a good reason. You're not cool enough." said Ulrich with a smirk.
"What? I am cool! I'm the coolest person around!" said Odd. "How am I not cool?"
"Well first off you tell lame jokes, you have the weirdest taste in shows and movies, and, to top it off, you're scrawny. If any guy tried to pick a fight with you, he'd snap you in half like a toothpick." said Ulrich with a smirk.
"Don't worry, Odd. I'm sure Zenon'll take you to her next party." said Yumi.
"Oh no. I'm done partying. I'm not in the mood to get arrested again. Getting arrested by the cops is just as bad as getting arrested by the FBI."
"So glad you learned your lesson." said Jeremy with a smirk.
In the distance, the Lyoko warriors see Sissi, who is in her party clothes, walking with her father.
"I am disappointed in you, Elisabeth. Sneaking out after curfew to go to a party. Underage drinking. And what's worse is you got arrested! You won't be leaving your room for quite a will now, young lady." said Delmas as he scolded his daughter.
"Now if only Sissi can learn hers." said Aelita.
Oh, my god...That was a long chapter. I hope this chapter made up for my 2 month absence. Next chapter should be coming a lot sooner! Anyway, please review and stay tuned for the next chapter!
