Chapter 51

XANA sat in the middle of a large red room somewhere in his domain. Sitting on a large red block that sat out on the floor he gazed into the holo screen that showed the warriors battle with the new being known as Nephilim. Like Cody XANA had run his scan of Nephilim and was impressed with the coding inside of him.

'So they finally made their move.' XANA thought with a smirk. 'After all of these years they've finally resurfaced. Or at least the one man responsible for all of this has made his move.'

He shut off the holo screen and closed his eyes. 'The one man who could have created something like this, Dr. Lyon. He's near.'

He stood up and walked towards the middle of the room.

'Nephilim will no doubt wonder why there are new warriors on Lyoko and the source of the Red Eye Virus attack.' XANA smirked and sent out a summoning.

He waited a moment and Lilith appeared behind him.

"You called for me?" Lilith asked.

"Lilith, I have an important mission for you. Follow the one who calls himself ... Nephilim." XANA said as he brought up an image of Nephilim.

"Nephilim?" Lilith asked.

"Yes, he's our newest creation. Only he wasn't made directly by me." XANA replied.

"An AI that was made with your coding but not made by you." Lilith walked ahead and looked closely at the image.

"Inform Aelita and her allies of the location of the hidden lab." XANA said.

Lilith turned with a puzzled look. "You mean the lab that . . ."

XANA chuckled. "There's only one way they'll know how to track him down."

"What's taking those guys so long?" Noah stuck his head out of the hole that led to the secondary entrance.

Suddenly a novelty horn started blaring.

"Huh? Revelry?" Noah turned just before a car slammed through the wall near him. He screamed as it shot towards him...and stopped mere inches from his face. He stared at it. "I take back what I said; I don't miss these guys at all-"

SMASH!

Carlos smashed through the wind shield and rolled across the hood, landing on his feet next to the hole. He had a pistol in his hand, looking around and paused as he saw Noah. "Oh, hey Noah."

"You're paying for that Carlos!" Kurt shook his fist at Carlos from the driver's seat. "Don't you know how to use a door?"

"Never occurred to me," Carlos shrugged. "I was in the moment and the moment said 'dramatic car exit'."

"Oh get down here you morons!" Noah said. "You both remember everything, right?"

"Right!" The two men nodded.

"So come on!" Noah climbed down, followed by the two ex-agents. "You almost ran me over you know!"

"I was in the moment and the moment said 'Dramatic Car Entrance.'" Kurt shrugged as they reached the ladder to the lab and climbed down.

Carlos whistled. "Wow...this looks like crap compared to that first lab."

"Well we've got everybody here, some of our favourite," Kurt nodded to Gwen. "And some of our least favourite contestants." He glared at Duncan. "And Aelita Stones! Or...should it be Aelita Schaeffer?"

"Either one will do." Aelita stood up.

"So how the heck did this happen? One second we were in a lab watching you guys fight off the Generals of that maniac XANA, the next second we cough it up as a dream and wake up in my house." Carlos stated.

"Return to the Past," Trent patted the computer. "We went back in time."

The two producers stared.

"Time Travel?" Kurt asked.

"Bear in mind you were chased by monsters that came from nowhere, watched us fight more of them inside a computer, and saw a giant monster made of lava try and kill us all." Gwen said.

"So...no blue police box?" Carlos asked.

"The Doctor's British, right?" Kurt nodded.

"No but we have a nuclear powered super computer if you'd like it." Gwen smirked.

"Ok...what is going on that you had to suddenly bring us back into the fold?" Kurt asked.

"A new AI named Nephilim." Aelita spoke up. "One that someone created from a copy of XANA. One we think has a connection with Project Carthage, and we need your help to track down."

"Ah, and we just happen to be on the case to find your family," Kurt nodded. "The FBI has a hunch there's a connection between Carthage and the Red eye Virus."

"Especially since that same eye symbol was used by your dad for his work," Carlos added.

"We believe the professors he worked with at Kadic Academy were in on Carthage also," Aelita explained. "They were top scientists in their field." She showed them an image of Schaeffer and his colleagues.

"Hm...Clever girl." Kurt nodded.

"Why didn't anybody else think of that?" Carlos asked.

"They don't know my father like I do." Aelita cracked a smile.

"Well I'm gonna take a quick snap shot and look these old geezers up." Carlos used his camera.

"Bear in mind, there's a chance none of them were involved." Aelita said. "But if that fails, there is another place to look. In fact it's right about next door to Carlos' cabin." She handed them the key to her old house in the mountains.

"You're giving us your house key?" Carlos asked as he accepted the key.

"You'll be able to do better with it than me, perhaps there is a clue that I missed." Aelita said.

"I'll need permission from the French government to go up those mountains again." Kurt stated.

"Screw that, I'm allowed to go visit my property any time, I don't need to tell them about any stops I make along the way." Carlos said. "And telling them about it is a very bad idea if I recall."

"If we find out who created Nephilim we can nail those war mongers." Kurt added with a nod.

"We can be there and back by noon tomorrow." Carlos said. "And we'll call if we find anything...by the way...has Chris been in my Klondike bar pile?"

"He says no but I get this..." Noah made hand gestures. "Eerie feeling whenever he smiles." He made a weird smile to emphasize his words.

"He is dead like a banana when I get back there." Carlos growled.

"Don't mention the banana," DJ sighed.

"Why, what about the banana?" Carlos asked.

"Dude, let's just say we've learned never to underestimate the banana," Duncan said.

Carlos and Kurt exchanged a look. Kurt made a 'coo-coo' motion. "And I thought you, Izzy and Lesley were the maniacs."

"But shouldn't you scan us so that we remember any Returns to the past?" Carlos asked. "Especially in the midst of all this XANA and Nephilim nonsense."

"Yes...but if you recall, there's a thing called 'plausible deniability'. Aelita stated.

"Oh yeah..." Both ex-agents nodded.

"Good point," Kurt added.

"And we can give you memories again the same way we did before." Aelita explained. "Take these though." She handed them a pair of headsets. "These cameras will record every word an action and send it to the super computer so I can keep the program up to date on your memories."

"Clever," Kurt nodded.

"If I thought of it years ago my Gym Teacher would have been around to help us save the day more." Aelita smiled.

"Well Comrade Carrot Top, time to get going." Carlos grinned. "Got a world to save, a villain to stop...and a Klondike Bar touching mop head to bust."

"...you really are the nut." Kurt sighed. "Good luck kids." He followed Carlos up the ladder. "We're all counting on you!"

The kids waved good bye, and the car roared out of the factory's main floor, blaring the 'revelry' novelty horn. Carlos shouted at the end of the horn. "CHARGE!"

"...We've either improved our chances or doomed ourselves." Noah sighed.

"I know." Cody nodded.

"...does Kurt have to burst down every wall with his car?" Trent asked.

"And play that novelty horn right before he does it?" Gwen added.

"Heh, adds to the mood." Noah shrugged.

"What mood?"

"Two men getting Alzheimer's in their mid twenties."

"Last time, on Total Drama Reality. It was back into the digital plain for the contestants in an awesome game of capture the Flags. The results were hilarious and in the end Team Me lost again and with Justin's departure all the show's pretty boys are now gone." Chris announced. "Who will win today's challenge? Find out on this exciting episode of Total. Drama. REALITY!"

The next morning the Lyoko Warriors slept without any attacks happening this time. It was nice considering they now not only had to fight off XANA and his army but now the AI known as Nephilim. Chris' bullhorn blared, jerking everyone out of a nice sleep. Through the groans, whining, shouting, and complaining everyone got out of their beds, got their clothes on and they walked into the main lobby of the studio to see what Chris had in store for them this time.

"What's up?" Chris asked, smiling.

"You're starting to sound like Geoff." Heather scoffed while rolling her eyes.

Chris glared at her for that comment but then shrugged it off.

"All right, today I woke up to find a major emergency. Thanks to Kurt and Carlos(FINALLY, someone gets it right!) my interns decided to not order the pastries from my caterer!" Chris said, sounding very annoyed.

"And what's this got to do with us?" Bridgette asked.

"Well, since I can't punish my idiot interns thanks to Lesley, they won't order now, and I'm in need of pastries I decided that's what today's challenge would be." Chris said.

"Call your caterer?" LeShawna asked.

"I think he means he wants us to make pastries for him." Trent said.

"Right on the spot, Elvis! This way it saves money and I don't busted again by 'embezzling' funds. Each team today will be making me an array of delicious sweets and present them later today. The team with the sweets that don't make the judges, that's me, Lesley, and Roberto gag wins!" Chris said.

Confessional: DJ

"This'll be easy. My momma taught me everything on how to make everything sweet, with a pinch of her spice and love."

Xxx

Confessional: Gwen

"I don't like to talk about it but I'm good at baking. With my mom out working most of the time I had to look after my brother and anyone who has a younger brother should know better than anyone about how much unhealthy crap twelve year old boys like to eat."

Xxx

Confessional: Bridgette

"As a vegetarian I like to come up with all sorts of good tasting vegan pastries that are good for you. This challenge is mine!"

"So how do we work if there's only one kitchen?" Courtney asked.

"Already got it covered. We bought the kitchen tent from the film lot used in the second season and also you get to use Chef's private kitchen." Chris said. "Team Amazon gets the kitchen here, Team Me gets the kitchen tent, and Team Victory gets Chef's private kitchen."

"Don't touch any of my stuff!" Chef yelled.

"Oh, and please try and make a little presentation while you're at it. It'll get you some bonus points. And... GO!" Chris yelled.

Xxx

Team Amazon

The team had grouped together in the studio kitchen.

"Okay, so who knows how to bake?" Heather asked.

Gwen, Courtney, and Sierra raised their hands.

"I can try!" Sierra shouted with her arm up.

"The last time you tried to bake a cake you blew up the Total Drama plane. No way!" Eva said.

"I can bake!" Courtney said proudly.

"Fine, Gwen and Courtney are baking." Heather pointed Gwen and Courtney. "While the rest of us clean this place up to make it sure looks nice."

Xxx

Team Victory

"I can bake. I know all sorts of treats that would work." DJ said.

"But I can make healthy treats." Bridgette said.

"No offence, Bridge, but not everyone goes for the veggie treats." Geoff pointed out.

"You liked them." Bridgette replied.

Xxx

Confessional: Geoff

"I've got to be completely honest with you guys I didn't like the veggie treats Bridge made. I tasted them and I almost gagged. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I hid them in a nearby plant and left some crumbs to make her think I ate them and liked them. My girl is so hot and nice that I don't want to get her mad and upset with me and I really didn't want have to take sides on this one." He then looks around and whispers so the camera. "Please don't tell her I said that. I don't like tricking her."

Team C (once again, thank you Carlos)

"...does anybody know how to bake?" Duncan looked at his only two team mates left.

"...I could find a recipe to follow off the net," Noah shrugged. "As long as it has instructions it should be easy."

"OOH! OOH!" Izzy hopped up and down, waving her hands.

"...Oh god please don't tell me..." Duncan sighed. "You think you know how to bake, don't you?"

"I do know how to bake!" Izzy corrected him. "I once baked homemade mystery meat cakes back on my uncle's ranch in Texas! I didn't even know what the meat was and they scarfed it all down! Even my cousin Tommy ate it and he doesn't even like coming out of that weird cellar he's always in."

Praying that the scenario Izzy described was only similar to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Duncan said. "Ok...stand back everybody, I'm going in, Rambo Style!" He then dove for the pantry with a battle cry. "AHHH!-!-!-!-!-!-!"

"...Does he even know what Rambo style is?" Noah asked.

Suddenly a bag of flour landed on his head. When he was left covered in flower from the waist up, he sighed and wiped some flower off his shirt. "Well Izzy, I guess on the bright side we either win or poison Chris."

"Or we enjoy my delicious homemade Fruit Cake!" Izzy snickered.

"Now when you say home made...?" Noah started.

Xxx

Confessional: Noah

"I mentioned before that I signed a will to have my stuff donated to the university so none of my brothers and sisters got their hands on it. So just in case I don't make it, I might as well go with these last few words...get a job you lazy slackers!"

End Confessional

Xxx

"Okay, we've got about three hours to bake something, we've got enough supplies to feed China, we have no idea what we're doing, it's a Friday, we're standing inside with no windows and we're wearing sun glasses." Izzy declared, standing on a counter with sun glasses on.

Noah sighed, tilting his own sun glasses up a bit. "Hit it."

Xxx

Team Victory (Why do they still call themselves that?...well they're not doing as bad as Team C)

"Dude! My momma's spice will work perfectly!" DJ said.

"My all vegan style can knock you head over heels, not to mention its healthy!" Bridgette replied.

'Sure does knock you head over heels,' Geoff thought, ashamed of himself for the thought.

"What about you guys? Can you guys bake?" DJ asked LeShawna, Trent and Geoff.

"Boy the most cooking I've ever done is a barbeque." LeShawna said. "But Harold knew a few things about bakin', picked it up after TDI."

"Did he make anything good?" Geoff asked.

"He made some of the best cup cakes I ever dang had!" LeShawna smiled.

"Awesome...oh wait, Lindsay!" Bridgette spun. "Do you know anything about baking?"

Lindsay looked up from the Chinese finger trap her hands were caught in. "I'd help but I can't get my hands out."

The team members exchanged a look. Bridgette sighed, walked over, and gently forced Lindsay's two trapped fingers together and pulled them free of the loosened trap. "Now, do you know how to bake?"

"I tried to bake these good cookies at my grandma's house once." Lindsay nodded.

Now hold that pose and let's look into Team V's minds...

Xxx

A fire truck's siren wailed as it pulled up to a house with smoke coming out of the windows.

"Come on people we have a code L!" The lead fire man yelled as he hopped out.

"What's that?" A younger, new fireman asked as he climbed out.

The first man's face darkened. "Code...Lindsay."

DUN DUN DUNNNN!

Xxx

"They never let me near the oven after that," Lindsay continued.

Xxx

Confessional: Trent

"I would trust her, but the last time she fed me anything was from a fish that nearly asphyxiated me." Trent shrugged. "Sorry Lindsay."

Xxx

Confessional: Geoff

"I saw what happened to Trent after that! I'm no baking expert myself but I'm not going near anything that comes out of an oven Lindsay used!" Geoff chuckled. "...please don't tell her I said that!"

Xxx

"I think I got the hang of how to use an oven though!" Lindsay smiled. "The more you turn the little knob, the hotter it gets!"

Now let's pause again for another day dream...

Xxx

A fire truck's siren wailed as it pulled up to the Total Drama Studio, which was in flames. Several firemen leaped out, shouting in French.

That day, the firemen of Paris were contacted by an anonymous source in Ontario, suggesting they add a new emergency code to their book.

Code...Lindsay!

Xxx

"...I vote we go with LeShawna's cup cake idea!" DJ swallowed. "Can you call Harold?"

"Is that allowed?" Bridgette asked.

"Hey Chris are we allowed to call for help if we have trouble baking?" Geoff asked.

"What do I care? If you all suck then go ahead, I want delectable treats!" Chris whined from the lawn chair he sat on...which was knocked over by Lesley almost too casually. "OW!"

"Oopsie!" Lesley said in a sing-song voice.

"Okay, call Harold and let's get baking!" Trent nodded.

Xxx

Team Amazon

Now most people believed if Gwen and Courtney were left in a room together they would tear the place apart since because of what happened on World Tour. However except for a hand full of people no one knew that they were part of a secret group out to stop evil AIs from taking over the world. Since that time in the Forest Courtney and Gwen had managed to put aside most of the hate for the cause of saving the entire human race.

So they had at least made an effort to try and work together through the challenges to avoid getting eliminated since they needed to stay on as long as possible until they could stop XANA and Nephilim for good.

"Okay, so what recipes do you know?" Courtney asked.

"I know a recipe my grandmother used for making chocolate chip cookies along with my favourite flavour of pie," Gwen said. "Blue berries."

Somehow Courtney was not surprised by this.

"What about you?" Gwen asked. "Any ideas?"

"I've made plenty of cakes before," Courtney replied. "Vanilla, chocolate, a mix sometimes. Or those cakes that were just a bunch of cup cakes attached to one another."

"Okay we have a host with a mop for a head, an insane lawyer who is a Carlos version of you-no offense, and a hairy security guard…what would they go for?" Gwen asked.

"It's so obvious!" Sierra spoke up.

The two looked at Sierra. "Huh?"

"Look at the three of them," Sierra tugged them to the door so they could see the three lounging judges. "First, Chris. I happen to know his favourite flavour from the giant Chris shrine my mom turned our house into-"

"Didn't you tell her to get rid of that?" Courtney asked.

"Yeah, but if she went through with it we wouldn't have had a house." Sierra shrugged. "I know for a fact that Chris likes apple pies, meat pies, banana cream pies, and twinkies. Next, look at Lesley." She then pointed at her.

"We don't know a lot about her, she only signed on a week ago." Gwen said.

"Just look at her and you'll be able to tell what she likes most." Sierra said.

Lesley had changed into a denim skirt and a dark blue tank top today, allowing more of her Carlos Heart tattoo to be seen. But it also showed several other tattoos, all of them ranging from white that was just barely visible on her skin to cherry red.

"She likes vanilla cake with some of that cherry flavoured jam filling inside it!" Sierra said. "And she always makes sure that when she makes one of those cherry flavoured mix drinks she never puts in more or less than enough of those crystals to give the water flavour and colour, making sure there aren't any crystals left over. So she likes soft icing, really soft icing, she likes it when things practically melt in her mouth."

The two cooks exchanged a slightly disturbed glance from how Sierra concluded this.

"Ok…what about Roberto?" Gwen asked.

"He was the easiest! After stalking all of the employees here as much as possible I noticed that Roberto does the opposite of what Carlos does when it comes to food." Sierra said. "Carlos uses sugar with his coffee, Roberto uses milk only. Carlos drinks Pepsi, Roberto drinks Coke. Carlos likes chocolate, so Roberto must like-"

"Vanilla?" Courtney cut in.

"No! Mint!" Sierra finished.

"…How did you conclude that?" Gwen asked.

"Oh it's so obvious I won't insult you two by telling you." Sierra said with a smile. "Roberto likes mint, and cold or sweet things. Lesley likes soft, warm and moist foods. And Chris likes any pie you give him. I suggest that you guys make an apple pie with vanilla icing placed on top of it with a cherry for Chris. A circular vanilla cake with cherry jam inside it for Lesley-and remember not to make the icing all dry. And we make Roberto a mint ice cream sundae with fudge, a banana and cherry on top with sprinkles!"

The entire team stared in awe at Sierra.

"I've seen so many weird things…I won't even ask."

"For once the fan girl comes in handy."

Three Raptors and landed in front a tower along with four Hornets and took position around it as it began to glow orange.

With everyone making up their minds on who to bake and what to bake they went to work. LeShawna held a cell phone to her ear with her shoulder as she spoke to Harold on how to make the cupcakes. Izzy ran through the Team C kitchen juggling various items and ingredients while Courtney and Gwen worked on the sweets Sierra suggested.

About an hour later the food was brought out a nice table that those who did not bake had set up. There was a white clean table cloth across the table with a pretty flower arrangement in the center set in a vase. Chris approached the table and looked at all sweets.

"Nice set up with the table guys. Now let's see if the pastries are any better." Chris said. "Let's start with Team Amazon."

For Team Amazon Courtney held out an apple pie with vanilla icing placed on top of it with a cherry for Chris just like Sierra suggested. For Lesley Gwen held out a vanilla cake with cherry jam inside it for Lesley and for Roberto Heather placed mint ice cream sundae with fudge, a banana and cherry on top with sprinkles. All sweets were exactly like Sierra suggested. Luckily Gwen and Courtney worked well enough together that they were able to make the kind of sweets that Sierra suggested and Chris had stacked up on all sorts of baking goods.

LeShawna brought out a tray of chocolate cupcakes with a bit of chocolate icing and sprinkles. As for Team C, they had a fruit cake for each judge.

"Ooh, we have variety going on in Team Amazon," Lesley licked her lips as she looked at the vanilla cake.

"Plenty of sweets to save for later then!" Chris rubbed his hands together. "Okay, let's get to tasting!"

"Chris, we got you an apple pie topped with vanilla and a cherry." Sierra set the pie in front of him. "Lesley, soft vanilla cake with cherry jam filling. And Roberto, mint ice cream sundae with fudge, a banana and a cherry on top!"

"Ooh!" The three judges stared at their treats and dug in.

Chris cut a piece of pie for himself after popping the cherry in his mouth. He ate the piece of pie, savouring it. "Mm...apple...vanilla..." He fell over.

Lesley was enjoying her cake, giggling as she tasted the cake. "Oh my god that's so good!"

Roberto's sundae was already gone and he was curled up on his seat, foaming at the mouth and chewing on his nails, eyes blood shot from the massive sugar rush he was on now.

"Wow...I didn't think we were that good." Gwen whispered.

"I know," Courtney nodded.

"Aw man I am so saving that for later!" Chris handed the pie to an intern. "Okay! Definitely a ten out of ten for Team Amazon! Now for Team Victory!"

"We made cup cakes Harold gave us the recipe for!" Geoff said. "Try them!"

Each judge hesitantly took a cup cake and took a bite out of it. They paused...and scarfed down the cupcakes. Licking chocolate off her fingers, Lesley swallowed. "Mmm! Good!"

"Yeah! Who'd have thought nerdo would pull through!" Chris asked...and froze. "Do you feel that?"

"I don't know, do you feel funny?" Roberto asked, turning...green.

"You guys okay?" Bridgette asked.

"Depends, am I the only one feeling...like I'm gonna...OHH GOD!" Lesley ran out, followed by Roberto and Chris to the washroom.

Bridgette sighed. "We are so gonna lose. We should have used my vegan cookies!"

"My treats would have worked perfectly! I've got momma's touch!" DJ said.

"Or you could have let me try making my grandma's chocolate chip cookies!" Lindsay suggested.

Mind View!

Xxx

Armies of fire trucks surrounded Paris, the entire city in flames.

Now we might be exaggerating, but it just gets funnier every single time we bring it up!

Oh and...Code Lindsay!

Xxx

Chris, shaking sat down. "A for-" He gagged. "Taste. F for indigestion dude!"

"But I tried those cup cakes myself when Harold made them one occasion, they were great!" Trent said.

Xxx

Half an hour ago...

"Okay, remember this, we must not mix these two ingredients up. So for the sake of some people I've marked them as A and X." Trent said. "The A is the good one, the X is the bad one. Remember this, okay?"

"Okay!" The team nodded.

"Okay, let's go!" They scattered.

Lindsay hummed happily as she walked past the table...and knocked the two boxes over. The labels fell off. "Oops!" She placed the labels back on...the wrong boxes.

Code Lindsay, nuf said.

Xxx

"Okay, let's try and forget that by tasting Team...Me's food." Chris sighed. "Who baked?"

"Izzy! Chef Extraordinaire!" Izzy grinned. "And her lovely assistant Noah!"

Noah nodded. "Qui!"

"Okay...get the ambulance ready," Chris sighed as he looked at the fruit cake.

"Behold, the sacred fruit cake of the MacConn clan!" Izzy grinned. "Passed down the family line for generations!...well okay just two generations, my grandpa was a baker."

"Well...here goes nothing," Chris sighed. "If it kills me Carlos won't be able to get back at me for burning his Klondike bars."

Xxx

Carlos paused and clutched his chest, gasping as he fell to his knees.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked.

"A sudden flow of anger and rage went through me...something tragic has happened." Carlos said grimly. "We must hurry and finish our mission!"

Xxx

"If I die, tell Carlos that his old lucky sun glasses are in my drawers at home." Lesley swallowed.

"If I die, tell that guy I'm gonna wail on him from the grave!" Roberto frowned. "And his carrot top buddy too!"

The three judges then tried the cake, tempting fate...

And their eyes snapped open.

"So...good." Lesley collapsed.

"Too...good." Roberto collapsed.

"...momma?" Chris joined them on the floor.

"MacConn fruit cake!" Izzy said with a Scottish accent. "Knocks the socks of yah laddie!"

"I think...we have a winner." Chris said. "Team...Me...So delicious...wins! Team Amazon in second place...Team Victory...change your name to team Wannabes and vote off the next loser."

"SCORE!" The three members of Team C exchanged a high five.

Xxx

Team Victory was gathered in the loser ceremony room as Chris came into the room with a tray of polished clean Chris trophies.

"Well, here are the trophies. Let's hurry and get this over with so I can enjoy the sweets." Chris said as he held out the tray.

"First trophy goes to ... LeShawna!"

Chris tossed the first one at LeShawna who caught it.

"Bridgette."

Bridgette smiled and caught hers.

"Geoff."

"WHOO-HOO!" Geoff said as he caught his.

There was now only one trophy left.

"Trent and Lindsay, the both of you screwed up and lost the challenge for everyone."

"Just get it over with!" LeShawna said.

Chris was about to give the last trophy to whoever was left when Lesley busted in.

"Chris, we've got to move!" She shouted.

"Can't you see I'm in the middle of the drama?" Chris groaned.

"You want drama? Okay, there are military tanks coming to life and coming towards the city!" Lesley shouted.

"WHAT?" The cast and crew shouted.

"Get everybody down to the emergency cellar!" Lesley ordered.

"Aw man this sucks so hard!" Chris whined.

"DO IT NOW MOP HEAD!" Lesley shouted.

"Okay okay! Sheesh, I swear if Carlos wasn't with Melissa I'd say you're pregnant or something!" Chris began to gather the crew, who dropped their equipment and rushed for the cellar.

While they weren't looking LeShawna, Trent, DJ, Geoff, and Bridgette slipped out.

Xxx

Aelita was looking at the news report of three new tanks coming to life and heading towards the factory. The doors opened the Lyoko Warriors walked in.

"You made it." Aelita smiled.

"We heard about the tanks from Lesley. Who's at it this time?" Gwen asked.

"Nephilim. There's an active tower in the Mountain Sector." Aelita answered.

"It's save the world time again!" Cody said.

Xxx

Everyone was soon enough in the Mountain Sector after a few minutes and they were on their way to the tower.

"Here are the vehicles."

Everyone got on their usual vehicles and took off.

"So Cody, what are we up against?" Bridgette asked as she flew through the air on her surf board.

"It looks like there are three Raptors and four Hornets guarding the tower 35 degrees south of you guys."

Looking ahead there was an orange glowing tower with three Raptors ahead.

"Anyone willing to guess this is a trap?"

"What made it so obvious?" Asked a familiar voice.

Nephilim stepped out from behind the tower and walked towards them.

"Take care of the tower and the monsters, guys. I'll take him." Duncan got off the OverBike.

"You against me? Apparently you haven't learned your lesson." Nephilim said.

He looked at the Hornets and smirked.

"If I am going to be outnumbered I might as well make it as hard as possible."

He held out his lance and an acid green mist and wrapped around the four Hornets. The monsters began to shake and grow as well as crack open. A pair of leathery razor sharp wings sprouted from the side, large ears sprouted from the head, red eyes, and their new bodies were covered in dark brown fur. The Eye of XANA was seen on its forehead.

The new Bats flew into the air towards the warriors.

"I got this!" Trent said as he fired a stream of fire at them.

The Bats dodged and sliced into the OverSled with their sharp wings and knocking Trent out of the air. They then fired their lasers and shot Trent until his life points hit zero. The Raptors joined in on the assault and fired at them. In the meantime Duncan changed into the Berserker and charged at Nephilim. Courtney stayed behind just in case Duncan needed help.

"Look out!" Bridgette shouted.

Izzy jumped at one of the Bats with her claws glowing bright, ready to slash them apart. However it dodged her by a hair.

"We'll take care of the bats. Get Aelita through those Raptors and to the tower." Gwen said as she went down to help Izzy along with Heather while Bridgette, Noah, and Aelita headed for the tower.

They landed next to Izzy as the Bats made another run at them. Gwen glowed yellow and the rocks around began to rise in the air. Several boulders were sent flying straight at the Bats and a sharp one managed to hit one in the Eye, destroying it. Heather fired her shuriken and managed to clip one Bat leaving two more.

In the meantime Noah turned his hands into guns as he and Aelita fired at the Raptors guarding the tower. They returned fire as Bridgette flew at full speed on her surf board. She slammed her board into the center Raptor and sent it over the edge and into the Digital Sea. Taking advantage of their distraction Aelita and Noah shot at the last two Raptors and deleted them easily.

Nephilim turned and saw the guards to his tower had been destroyed. He growled as he blocked Duncan's attack and slashed at Duncan, knocking him down. He aimed his lance at Aelita and fired a white beam at her. However just before it hit her the beam hit an invisible wall, protecting Aelita from the blow allowing Aelita to enter the tower.

Everyone stopped fighting to see a something land on top of the tower and look down at them. The figure was the same height as Carlos and wore a black cape with black armor and his face was covered by a white demon mask with the Eye of XANA on the forehead.

"Who are you?" Nephilim demanded pointing his lance at the figure.

"My name is no concern of yours, virus. All that you need to know is that I am here to delete you."

"We'll see about that!" Nephilim shouted and fired another blast but it didn't even hurt the figure.

Its armor absorbed the blast easily. The figure jumped off the tower and landed in front of Nephilim, pulling out two long daggers and struck Nephilim in the chest. Nephilim kneeled down and vanished into a black mist. The figure sheathed its daggers and turned to face the others.

"...was that a good thing that just happened?" Noah asked.

"Depends," Aelita stepped forward cautiously. "Who are you?"

"I am Seraphim, and I have no business with you...Aelita Schaeffer." The man, Seraphim stated.

"How do you know who I am?" Aelita asked, backing up a step.

"Your identity has always been in my memory banks." Seraphim replied.

"Did XANA send you? Are you another General?" Gwen demanded.

"No," Seraphim shook his head.

"Then what's with the XANA eye?" Duncan pointed.

"This symbol did not originate from XANA, he inherited it as his sign, it is not rightfully his to use." Seraphim straightened the cloak he wore. "Now, you have a tower to deactivate. Nephilim will return soon, my attack only weakened him. Had I more time and power I would have finished him."

Seraphim stepped off to the side and seemed to vanish. It looked like his entire body was folding in on itself until a small black dot was left floating in the air. Then it just popped out of existence, and Seraphim was gone.

"That was strange." Bridgette said.

"I know. We'll talk about it after the tower is shut down." Aelita ran into the tower and it was shut down in a few seconds and the Return to the Past program was activated.

Once again the food was brought out a nice table that those who did not bake had set up. There was a white clean table cloth across the table with a pretty flower arrangement in the center set in a vase. Chris approached the table and looked at all sweets.

"Nice set up with the table guys. Now let's see if the pastries are any better." Chris said. "Let's start with Team Amazon."

"Ooh, we have variety going on in Team Amazon," Lesley licked her lips as she looked at the vanilla cake.

"Plenty of sweets to save for later then!" Chris rubbed his hands together. "Okay, let's get to tasting!"

"Chris, we got you an apple pie topped with vanilla and a cherry." Sierra set the pie in front of him. "Lesley, soft vanilla cake with cherry jam filling. And Roberto, mint ice cream sundae with fudge, a banana and a cherry on top!"

"Ooh!" The three judges stared at their treats and dug in.

Chris cut a piece of pie for himself after popping the cherry in his mouth. He ate the piece of pie, savouring it. "Mm...apple...vanilla..." He fell over.

Lesley was enjoying her cake, giggling as she tasted the cake. "Oh my god that's so good!"

Roberto's sundae was already gone and he was curled up on his seat, foaming at the mouth and chewing on his nails, eyes blood shot from the massive sugar rush he was on now.

"That never gets old." Gwen commented.

"Aw man I am so saving that for later!" Chris handed the pie to an intern. "Okay! Definitely a ten out of ten for Team Amazon! Now for Team Victory!"

"We made cup cakes Harold gave us the recipe for!" Geoff said. "Try them!"

Each judge hesitantly took a cup cake and took a bite out of it. They paused...and scarfed down the cupcakes. Licking chocolate off her fingers, Lesley swallowed. "Mmm! Good!"

"Yeah! Who'd have thought nerdo would pull through!" Chris asked as he swallowed. "Delicious! I never thought I'd find something better!"

"What?" Heather, Courtney, and Sierra said.

"I know. So good." Lesley sighed.

"A for Taste and A for sweet digestion." Chris said.

Team Victory managed to avoid losing this time thanks to the Return to the Past and figuring what happened the first time.

"Okay, let's try and forget that by tasting Team...Me's food." Chris sighed. "Who baked?"

"Izzy! Chef Extraordinaire!" Izzy grinned. "And her lovely assistant Noah!"

Noah nodded. "Qui!"

"Okay...get the ambulance ready," Chris sighed as he looked at the fruit cake.

"Behold, the sacred fruit cake of the MacConn clan!" Izzy grinned. "Passed down the family line for generations!...well okay just two generations, my grandpa was a baker."

"Well...here goes nothing," Chris sighed. "If it kills me Carlos won't be able to get back at me for burning his Klondike bars."

"If I die, tell Carlos that his old lucky sun glasses are in my drawers at home." Lesley swallowed.

"If I die, tell that guy I'm gonna wail on him from the grave!" Roberto frowned. "And his carrot top buddy too!"

The three judges then tried the cake, tempting fate...

And their eyes snapped open.

"So...good." Lesley collapsed.

"Too...good." Roberto collapsed.

"...momma?" Chris joined them on the floor.

"MacConn fruit cake!" Izzy said with a Scottish accent. "Knocks the socks of yah laddie!"

"I think...we have a winner." Chris said. "Team...Me...So delicious...wins! Team Victory comes in second place with the sweet delicious cupcakes. Team Amazon, you made some delicious sweets that I will treasure for later but now you will be deciding who goes home tonight."

Team Amazon was gathered in the loser ceremony room as Chris came into the room with a tray of polished clean Chris trophies.

"Well, here are the trophies. Let's hurry and get this over with so I can enjoy the sweets." Chris said as he held out the tray.

"First trophy goes to ... Gwen!"

Chris tossed the first one at Gwen who caught it.

"Heather."

Heather smiled and caught hers.

"Cody."

"Beth."

There was now only one trophy left.

"Sierra, you gave good advice and if it wasn't for Harold's very sweet cupcakes and Izzy's awesomely delicious fruit cake you would have won. Eva, you don't how to bake. So who goes home tonight?" Chris said.

"Just get it over with!" Eva said.

"And the final trophy goes to . . . EVA!" Chris tossed her the final trophy.

Sierra stood up with tear filled eyes.

"Why? WHY?" She screamed and clung to an uncomfortable looking Cody while she was crying.

Chris whistled and two interns grabbed Sierra's arms and carried her out of the room and past everyone else without saying good bye.

Cody waited until he was sure she was gone and sighed in relief-off camera of course. Then he stepped back into view. "Aw well, she'll have another chance next season!"

"That's it for another episode of Total, Drama, Reality!" Chris said, emphasizing each word.

"Will you quit acting like William Shatner-" Lesley paused. "…do you smell something burning?"

"Hi guys! I made some extras!" Lindsay came out of a smoking kitchen.

"…Lindsay? Why is the kitchen filled with smoke?" Lesley asked.

"Well let's just say, now I know that after the cookies come out, you have to turn the dial to make the oven stop getting hot." Lindsay held up a tray of perfect looking cookies. "On the bright side, my cookies are done!"

Xxx

Several fire trucks pulled up outside the studio where the disgruntled cast and crew of Total Drama were sitting in the front lot, eating cookies.

"What in the name of god caused this one?" A fireman asked as several more rushed inside.

"Let's just say you might want to add this to your book," Lesley sighed. "Call this one…Code Lindsay."
