"This new stuff will get rid of my unsightly zits for sure," Herb says to Milly. All the 8th grade students are in the infirmary for their annual physical.
"You should've seen them."
"You'll get back together again."
Ulrich glances at a boy next to him, who is reading a paper. "Hey Julien, you mind telling me what you're studying?" The boy's been like that for a while, and it was honestly weird.
"The eye chart," He turns the paper around to reveal it's a make-shift eye chart. "I'm nearsighted, but I don't wanna have to wear glasses. That'd be too lame."
"Oh, you're right," Ulrich narrows his eyes in amusement. "Being blind as a bat sure is a lot more cool." He smiles, putting his hands behind his back. He glances to the other side to Odd. "Holding up the wall, huh, Odd?"
"No, push-ups," Odd does push-up against the wall. "Why? Can't you tell?"
"No," Ulrich replies back.
"I'm sick of hearing Yolanda telling me I'm scrawny," Odd complains. Every year, it was the same thing.
"But you are scrawny," Ulrich tells him.
"I am NOT scrawny, I'm svelte. At least my favorite girl thinks so," Odd winks at Amy, who smiles at him.
"Of course I do. Size doesn't matter to me, Odd."
"Just be glad that you've got a girl who likes you no matter what," Ulrich shakes his head, looking around to make sure no one heard him. They hadn't announced yet that they were a couple because they wanted to ease into it. Their date was tonight, so they would take things one at a time.
Amy and Odd wink to each other. They were planning on showing their affection later on.
"Ulrich," He glances at Sissi. "Wanna look over my health record with me?"
"Uh," He stammers as she sits down with a smile.
"Look at my weight curve," She opens it up. "Just right. And my growth curve, just right."
Ulrich glances away, hoping that his turn would come up soon. "Perfection is really wonderful, isn't it?"
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Amy rolls her eyes at them.
"You and me both, Ames," Odd tells her. She grins when he's not looking. Ever since that night, he's been calling her that in a more affectionate way. She loved all the nicknames he gave her, and it was even better to hear them now that they were an item.
"You don't understand, Aelita," Jeremy is talking to Aelita in concern. "You don't have a health record. You've never even been vaccinated! What if the nurse finds out that you're not really human?"
"You mean you don't find me very human?" She asks and he looks away.
"Well sure I do, but...that's not what I meant."
"Jeremy, relax," Aelita assures him, "Don't get so carried away." She highly doubted that the nurse would do an investigation on her just because she doesn't have a health record.
"Alright," Yolanda steps out of the infirmary. "Jeremy Belpois," Jeremy's eyes widen at his name. "Odd Della Robbia, and Julian Xao."
"Go on, Rambo," Ulrich calls out to Odd as the blonde walks in. "Blow 'em away." Both he and Sissi laugh, Amy rolling her eyes.
"Good luck, Odd," She waves to him and he waves back. Yolanda closes the door when all three boys walk in. Yolanda uses her stethoscope to check Odd. She turns him around.
"You've got the heart of an athlete, Odd, but you look a little skinny to me." Odd raises an annoyed brow at that. "Are you sure you're eating enough?"
"By enough, do you mean more than an elephant?" Jeremy asks, smiling.
"I eat a lot," Odd explains to Jeremy's question.
"Ah. In that case, it must be your metabolism that keeps you so scrawny." Odd glares up at her, but she doesn't notice it as she turns to the other two boys. "Okay, your turn, Julian."
"I am NOT scrawny," Odd mutters as he walks away. "I'm svelte!"
Julian walks up to the nurse, standing up straight. "Alright," She turns him to the eye chart, which is slightly different from the one he had. "Read the top line, please."
"Uh..." He could barely read them as his vision is blurry. " Z!" He says quickly.
"Jeremy," Yolanda turns to the blonde. "What do you see on line one, please?"
"H, B, P, V and L," He recites, Odd glancing at him.
"Really Julian," Yolanda places her hand on the embarrassed boy's shoulder. "Not only are you near-sighted, you've got a bad memory too."
Odd and Jeremy chuckle. "Jeremy." They stop laughing when she says his name. "Your turn."
He steps onto the weight scale. "Ma'am, is it bad if we forgot to bring our health record and if we haven't had all our vaccinations?"
"Well, yes it is," She takes note of his weight, "But don't worry, you're completely up-to-date."
He wasn't exactly asking about himself.
Julian opens the door and the other two step out. "Elizabeth Delmas, Aelita Stones, and Amelia Smith, please."
Aelita winks at Jeremy to reassure him that nothing will happen. Jeremy leans in towards Amy. "Hey Amy, can you make sure nothing goes wrong?"
"Jeremy, it's me," Amy gestures to herself. "Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine."
"See you soon," Odd smiles softly at her and she smiles back, trying not to blush as the three walk inside.
"Not to worry, Einstein," Odd could tell Jeremy was worried too. "She thought you were human, didn't she?" He chuckles, punching Jeremy slightly.
"Hilarious," He deadpans to his friend.
Meanwhile, XANA has already activated a tower in the forest sector. The two hear the beeping from Jeremy's bag and they run up to it. Jeremy opens it and gets out his laptop. Ulrich runs up to them and Jeremy looks up. "An activated tower." He closes his laptop.
"In the middle of a medical check-up?" Ulrich asks in disbelief. XANA didn't do this last year when they had their physicals. "XANA has no respect for anything."
"Ulrich, stay here and wait for the girls," Jeremy tells him. "Bring them to the factory as soon as they get out. Odd and I, we'll head over there now."
They run off through the doors. Luckily, the three boys have already had their physicals.
Yumi is in gym class as they're running track. "Hey, quit dawdling. This is a hundred meter sprint, not a chorus line!" Jim yells at them.
"Okay Jeremy," Yumi is talking to the genius. "I'll be there as soon as I can." She hangs up, bending to her knees.
"Next." Yumi gives a determined look as Jim looks at them. "Go!" As soon as he starts the watch, Yumi takes off at a speed faster than her opponents. She speeds right past Jim. "Yeah!" She has a time of 14.35 seconds. "There you go. Someone at least is putting their back into it! Wow, Yumi, you just broke the school record."
He glances around, but the Japanese girl is already gone. "But...hey. Yumi!"
Elizabeth steps onto the scale, disappointed. "What?! Ah, your scale must be broken. That's five pounds over."
"The scale is perfectly accurate, Elizabeth," Yolanda tells her.
"It's Sissi! This is outrageous. I'm gonna tell my father."
"I'd run over to his office, if I were you. It might help you lose a few pounds!"
Amy laughs as Sissi gets dressed. "I can't wait to tell the others."
"Your turn, Aelita."
"I'm really sorry, ma'am," Aelita walks up to her. "But I forgot to bring my health record."
"Oh, it's no big deal. I'll just put your results on a separate piece of paper that you can staple into your file later on," She smiles gently, Amy winking at her roommate.
"I should've left my health record at home too!" Sissi says bitterly as she puts on her shirt. Anything was better than knowing she was...was...
Overweight!
The lamp starts sparking with electricity. A specter comes out from it, Yolanda shouting.
"But why?" Aelita asks her as they're not paying attention.
"Well, can't you guess? My ultra perfect weight curve has just been wrecked by these five extra pounds!" Sissi retorts as she puts her skirt over her pants.
"Well, you can't tell by looking at you," Aelita comments and Amy leans in.
"That's because it's somewhere else, maybe?"
Sissi growls her teeth at her. "Oh yeah? I bet you're 25 pounds over!"
"Doubt it, but thanks for boosting my self-esteem," Amy winks at her. Sissi grunts at the fact that Amy didn't seem bothered by her comments at all. The specter enters the nurse and she looks at the girls, with the XANA symbol in her eyes.
Sissi screams, getting the attention of people outside. Ulrich steps in to see a shaking Sissi. "There!" Sissi points to the window. "There, the nurse, she-she-Aelita, Amy."
"Okay, I get the picture," Ulrich jumps out the window, landing on the grass. Sissi is still shaken up by the recent events.
Ulrich runs through the forest to track down the girls. "Yolanda has been possessed by XANA!" He reports to Jeremy, his headphone in his ear.
"She'll probably try to get to the factory so she can transfer them to Lyoko," He looks to the elevator as Odd and Yumi appear. "And then deliver them to the Scyphozoa."
"Them?" Odd asks in confusion.
"I'll try and stop her," Ulrich hangs up.
"Odd...Yolanda has Amy too."
"What?!" Odd asks, upset that he wasn't there to stop it. "But why?"
"I wish I knew. I don't get it. There's something there about why Amy's suddenly a target, but what..."
"Whatever it is, XANA's gonna wish that he didn't mess with my Ames," Odd clenches a fist.
Ulrich climbs down the ladder.
"Without Aelita, we can't deactivate the tower. And without Amy, we're down a person."
"Uh, how about we block the elevator? That might buy us a little time," Odd suggests, hoping that Amy was okay.
"Okay," Jeremy gets to work on it. He makes the elevator go all the way down to the lower level. "But it's only gonna give us five or six minutes, no more."
"So what do you suggest?" Yumi wonders.
"Well, we could do battle with Yolanda," He gives a little smile. "On equal terms."
"Say what?" Yumi didn't really know what he meant by that.
"I've been studying XANA's specters for a while now," Jeremy explains to the two. "I think I could manage to pixelize you."
"Oh, you mean you're going to turn us into people like the ones possessed by XANA?" Yumi asks slowly.
"Instead of being XANAified, we're gonna be Jeremified!" Odd glances at her. "Do you get it, guys?"
"Couldn't that be a bit risky?" Yumi asks in concern. It was their first time activating a tower, and who knows what it could do to them, or potentially anyone else.
"I could say, no, but I'd be lying," Jeremy answers skeptically. Yumi and Odd glance at each other. What other choice did they have? Their friends were in danger.
Ulrich skates down the railing in the sewers.
XANA Yolanda has arrived at the factory, an unconscious Amy on the ground next to her. Aelita is over her shoulder as she presses the button, but it doesn't work. She blinks at it as she tries again, but nothing happens. She clenches her fist as she's wasting time.
She glances at the factory area and picks up Amy over her other shoulder. As she's walking over, Ulrich comes in and sees her taking the other way.
"Jeremy, Yolanda is heading for the corridor," He reports into his phone.
"Hold her off as long as you can," Jeremy orders and Ulrich stands up.
"How much time you need?"
"Ideally, about three months, but I'll see what I can do to speed things up," Jeremy replies back.
"So how do you plan on pixelizing us, Frankenstein?" Odd asks teasingly.
"First step, activate a tower," Jeremy types away.
"You know how to do that?" Yumi questions in surprise.
"Well, theoretically, uh, yes." He just hoped that he could actually do it.
Ulrich jumps off the first floor, grabbing the rope and landing safely. He heads for the possessed nurse.
"It doesn't work," Jeremy frowns to himself.
"Yes it does, look," Yumi says and when he does, a tower in the mountain sector turns green.
"I, uh, I activated a tower!" He murmurs in awe. "Now, thanks to this activated tower, I'm gonna send a digital impulse, which will travel at hyper speed through all the networks and gather huge amounts of energy! I'll guide it by remote control towards the exit I choose. Like the cables on my screen, and the impulse will come out as a specter!"
"Ah," Odd speaks up in confusion. "English translation, please?"
"Well, I'm gonna send a specter, and you'll become invincible," Jeremy dumbs it down.
"I'll do it!" Odd volunteers in determination.
"Are you sure?" Yumi asks him.
"I've got a little score to settle with Yolanda Paradin. Looks like It's up to Ames' knight in shining armor to save her again."
Jeremy and Yumi smile in amusement.
XANA Yolanda walks through the hall.
"Excuse me, ma'am," Ulrich speaks up, hands on his hips. "But you forgot to give me my check-up."
XANA Yolanda turns around to him. "And I remembered to bring my health record and everything," He winks playfully. The possessed nurse drops the girls, staring at Ulrich through the symbols. She holds her fists into the air as she makes a yellow energy ball.
Ulrich backs away slowly, staring at the energy ball. XANA Yolanda then throws it, knocking him to the ground. She smiles at the interference being dealt with. When she looks behind her, she sees that the two girls are gone.
"Okay, guess my reflexes are pretty good," Ulrich stands up, rubbing his head. XANA Yolanda growls as she turns around. "How about testing my eyesight now?"
She grits her teeth in annoyance.
Amy and Aelita try to get the door open to the boiler room, to no success.
"Come on, come on."
XANA Yolanda throws another ball of energy as Ulrich is running.
They jiggle at the doorknob, only to see smoke. Aelita pulls out her phone and calls Jeremy. "Jeremy?"
"Aelita, are you okay? Is Amy with you?"
"Yes, and she's right here, but we can't get through the corridor."
"We're coming," Jeremy turns to his left. "Get ready, Odd. This is gonna be big time."
"If this ends badly, Jeremy, you promise to look after Kiki, Kiwi, and Amy?" Odd asks curiously.
"If this ends badly, there'll be nobody left to look after Kiki, Kiwi, and Amy!"
XANA Yolanda makes another energy ball with her right hand, throwing it at Ulrich again. It hits him and he's sent flying to the ground. Once she sees that he's not getting up any time soon, she turns around to find her captives.
Jeremy taps enter and a specter enters Odd. Yumi and Jeremy can only watch as Odd has an orange aura around him. The genius looks at his levels as it goes up to 100 percent. Odd lowers his arms, eyes closed. He opens them.
"Odd? How do you feel?" Yumi asks in concern.
"Fully charged," His voice sounds a bit different due to the process.
Amy pounds on the door as Aelita tries again to get it open. They stop suddenly, turning around to see XANA Yolanda approaching.
"Please hurry up. Jeremy, I...she's here!"
Amy stands in front of Aelita and she drops her phone. XANA Yolanda stomps on it and they both cringe as she reaches out to them.
Suddenly, she gets tackled by Odd, who had arrived just in time through the door. He looks back to see Aelita waving, walking through the door. "Ha. So, Miss Nurse, do you think I look scrawny now?"
XANA Yolanda glares at him, making her hand into a fist. A ball of energy appears and a shield from her knocks Odd out of the way. He backflips and lands in front of Amy.
"Odd! What happened to you?" She asks in surprise.
"A little Jeremification, my little Ames. I'll explain later. Get to the lab."
"And leave you behind? No way!"
"Okay," He nods at her. "But stay behind me."
She stands behind him. "This way, nasty nurse! Catch us if you can. Hang on, Ames." He grabs her hand and runs through a door, Amy surprised at his speed. Whatever Jeremy did, it was being very effective. She narrows her eyes at them.
"Aelita, do you read me? Aelita?" Jeremy tries to call out, but he doesn't know her phone is now broken.
"I'm here," She climbs down to him, both him and Yumi sighing in relief.
"Aelita, are you okay?"
"I'm alright," She walks up to him. "Amy is too, she's with Odd trying to buy some time with Yolanda."
"What about Ulrich?" Yumi wonders and the boy crawls down the ladder.
"Here I am. Am I dreaming or has Odd turned into a superhero?"
"Jeremy's managed to Jeremify him," Yumi explains.
"Oh yeah? That's weird," Ulrich comments, walking up to them.
"Yeah, but I don't know how long he can last against Yolanda. So we have to deactivate the tower that's controlling her."
The couple end up in the sewers as Yolanda fires another ball of energy. Odd takes Amy into his arms as he jumps up into the air and throws a ball of his own, knocking her into the water. Odd smiles as he lands safely with Amy, who smiles at him, impressed.
"Better and better."
"My super charged hero," Amy leans in and kisses him on the cheek. Odd laughs bashfully, rubbing his neck.
Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita enter the scanners. "Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Yumi. Virtualization."
The trio land in the forest sector in unison. "The Overbike and the Overwing are on the way."
The two vehicles virtualize in front of their owners. "The activated tower is above the forest in front of you."
"Let's go!" Yumi jumps onto the Overwing, Aelita jumping behind her. Ulrich jumps onto his bike.
"Any news from Odd and his private nurse? Last time I checked, the atmosphere was electric," Ulrich has a teasing smile on his face.
"He should be hanging in there. For now, that is. But you guys better be careful. XANA's sent out some monsters to stop you from reaching the tower."
"Wow, isn't that a surprise?" He should've known this was too easy. They take off down the path.
Odd lands with his arm wrapped around Amy's waist. They look down at the water. He puts his hands on his hips as Yolanda hasn't turned up. "Think we got rid of her?" Odd asks Amy, who shrugs. When they start to leave, the nurse jumps out of the water, punching Odd and knocking him down.
"I'd say no," Amy comments nervously as she looks over his cheek. She rushes towards them, but Odd grabs Amy and jumps over the projectile. He makes another ball of energy, but it suddenly disappears from his hands. He looks at them nervously. Now that he thinks about it, he's running a little low on power.
"Uh oh."
She knocks them backwards and when they get up, Amy calls the lab. "Jeremy, Odd's starting to lose power. Something tells me that's not supposed to happen."
"Uh," Jeremy looks at Odd's power slowly depleting.
"I thought so. You're using that 'I hate to say it, but Odd bombed his exam' voice." She hangs up, glancing back as XANA Yolanda steps closer. They run off, but she throws a ball of energy straight at them. Odd pushes Amy to the ground and they both land behind a wall.
"Odd, Amy? Guys, can you hear me?" Jeremy calls out. "Guys! Guys! Amy, Odd, can you hear me?"
He gets no answer because XANA Yolanda makes their phones lift into the air. She then breaks them into pieces. The signal gets lost from their phones.
A Krab appears, standing in the trio's way as they come to a stop. Ulrich turns his back on them.
"Yumi, can you hear me?"
"Yes, Jeremy," Yumi stops near Ulrich.
"It's about Odd. We got a big problem."
Another Krab appears behind them. "Yeah? Well, it's not too easy at this end, either," Yumi turns around to the other monster, which fires at the same time as the first one. The two separate in opposite directions so that they each have one Krab. Ulrich pulls out his sword, swerving around to avoid the red projectiles. He drives underneath the Krab and slices through it, cutting it in half and destroying it. A Kankerlot appears right behind him and hits him in the arm. He turns around and drives straight for the monster. He slices through it and stops as it explodes. He then drives in the other direction.
Yumi swerves to the right and pulls out her fan. She throws it, hitting the Krab. She flies above it as it explodes.
The tower that Jeremy activated slowly turns red. Jeremy sees Odd's power going out faster. "Listen, XANA has taken control of the tower I activated for Odd, and there's nothing I can do to stop him."
"Whenever you and Odd start messing around, it means trouble for us," Ulrich calls out.
"But how is that gonna affect Odd? Will XANA take control of him too?" Yumi asks in concern.
Jeremy looks into it, and it's not good. "Well it looks as if he'd rather just pump all of his energy."
"You mean...until he...?" Yumi couldn't even finish her sentence.
"Yeah," Jeremy closes his eyes gravely. What's worse is that he can't even tell Amy...
"Where's the other tower?" Yumi wonders. Odd was first priority now. They couldn't just leave him like this...and Amy wouldn't be able to handle losing him. She's already losing a parent through their divorce.
"In the mountain sector. There's a way tower to the west."
"Got it. I'll go with Aelita. Saving Odd is top priority now," Yumi heads west off the path.
"Stay here and clean up." Ulrich sees a Krab guarding the activated tower from XANA. He skids to a stop. He starts up the bike again and spins, heading towards the Krab. He dodges left from the lasers and pulls out his sword again. He jumps up from his bike, stabbing the monster right in the eye symbol. He backflips and lands on his bike just in time to see the Krab explode.
Aelita and Yumi continue on to the tower.
A trio of Kankerlots appear and Ulrich glances back at them. He spins around as they fire, jumping up and letting his Overbike take care of them.
Odd looks up to see XANA Yolanda planning to attack him again. Amy pulls him out of the way and he lands right on top of her. They blush at how close they are before seeing XANA Yolanda jumping into the air and firing another energy ball. Odd quickly gets off and runs with Amy in tow.
"Yumi," Jeremy speaks up, "Aelita, hurry up. Odd doesn't have much time left." Odd's at 75 percent out of power. Yumi and Aelita fly into the way tower and go downwards. They pass through the walls of code before flying out the entrance and into the mountain sector. "Okay ladies, the tower's dead ahead of you. Can you see it?"
"Uh, no. To tell you the truth, we can't see anything."
All they can see is fog and nothing else. Not even a platform. "XANA has already pulled this one on us," Aelita replies and they hear buzzing.
"Hey, watch out."
A stray laser from the clouds fires and they jump off as it hits the Overwing. "You're right at the edge of the cliff. You have to hang on real tight."
They wait for him to give the signal as they continue to fall. "Now!"
Yumi hangs on and so does Aelita. They can't see it, but they can at least feel it. Yumi glances at Aelita. "Listen to me, okay? I'll guide you. The path leading to the tower is dead ahead of you, Yumi." The two stand up. "Keep walking straight ahead until I say stop."
They walk slowly for precaution, Yumi waving her hands around. "Stop!"
Yumi slips at the end of the platform, but Aelita helps her up. "Next time, Jeremy, give me a little more warning, okay?"
"Sorry! I can't judge distances too well on my screen. Now, turn right."
They run to the right.
Odd runs, holding onto Amy's hand. She looks back to see XANA Yolanda on their trail. She fires another ball, hitting Amy and knocking her down. She slides to a stop in front of Odd, who stops at his tracks immediately.
"Ames!" He bends down to her as XANA Yolanda approaches. Odd grabs Amy and slides over to the wall, whimpering as he hugs the brunette tightly to protect her. She turns around...and suddenly starts going in the other direction. They stare at her in confusion.
"What's XANA got in store for us next?" Yumi asks in disbelief at the fog and invisible ground.
"You're gonna have to go around a rock. The best solution as I see it is to go around to the left."
They come to a stop, Yumi reaching her hand out. She feels something hard and recoils back a bit before touching the invisible rock again. They start moving to the left.
"Jeremy? Are we there yet?" Yumi asks impatiently. She was getting tired of invisible stuff lately.
"After the rock, it's straight ahead to the tower," He informs them. "You're almost there. Oh no!"
"What?"
"You've got company. Hornets."
"Where?" They look around, but they can't see them due to the fog.
"Duck!" He shouts at them. "Watch it!"
They duck out of the way in opposite directions. She can hear them now, but she still can't spot them.
"Okay, run straight ahead to the tower!" They get to their friend and start running again.
Odd starts shaking, hugging Amy as he starts to feel weaker. "Odd?" Amy asks in concern. She had no idea why this was happening, or what would occur if he loses anymore power...She hugs him close and he rests his head on her lap, closing his eyes. "No, don't close your eyes. Sleep later."
The Hornets fire again and they narrowly miss them. They come to a stop, looking up. "Where are they, Jeremy?"
"I don't see them. I do now. They're diving down straight at you!"
Yumi looks up and yelps, running forward as a flurry of lasers is fired at their feet. "Aelita, run to the tower."
Yumi pulls out her fans, blocking the lasers away from Aelita. She backs up as she continues blocking them, only to get hit in the stomach. She rolls away from a laser, doing it again.
"Hurry up!" Jeremy urges Aelita. "You're in front of the tower!"
Aelita comes to a stop, glancing behind her to look at Yumi. She enters inside and Yumi smiles up in relief. Aelita walks slowly to the center just as Odd's power gives out.
Odd's arm falls and Amy hears the thump, turning her head to him slowly. "Odd...?" She gets no answer. "Odd?!" She shakes him and hears his heart is barely beating. "Odd...no..." She starts crying and the tears fall down onto Odd's shirt.
Yumi rolls away from more lasers and falls off, gripping onto the edge.
Aelita does a flip and lands at the top.
Yumi continues dodging lasers.
Aelita presses her hand to the interface.
Code
Lyoko
The mountain sector goes back to normal as the fog disappears and the land comes back. Yumi's just actually above another platform and she lets go. She sees the two Hornets.
"Spotted."
She throws her fan, destroying both of them in one go. "Jeremy, any news from Odd or Amy?"
"No." He's tried their cell phones, but they're still inactive.
"Aelita's coming out of the tower. We're going back to Ulrich right away."
"Okay, I'll program the Overboard for you. Ulrich, do you read me? Aelita and Yumi are on their way to you."
Ulrich looks behind him as a Krab approaches. "Good, the three of us could use a few ladies around here."
Two of his clones are there as they're facing one Krab, one Blok, and three Kankerlots. The Blok fires and Ulrich's first clone jumps into the air to dodge it. He lunges forward and stabs the Blok in the eye, destroying it.
XANA Yolanda busts the door open and walks down the stairs.
"The girls are coming, we better clean up," Ulrich says as he swings his sword around to dodge the lasers. The second clone runs up and lands on the leg of the Krab. He jumps up and lands on top, stabbing the symbol and jumping off. He lands in front of his creator.
The Kankerlots fire and the last Ulrich dodges them. Ulrich runs up and gets rid of two. The last one sees all three and looks around in confusion, trying to determine which one is which. It doesn't have time to find out as one of the Ulrichs kicks it into the air. Ulrich then slices it when it soars towards him.
"Fusion."
He turns into one Ulrich.
XANA Yolanda climbs into the lab and holds out her hand towards Jeremy. She fires a ball of energy and Jeremy jumps out of his chair.
Yumi swerves around on the Overboard, jumping off and landing in front of Ulrich with Aelita. "It's about time. I was getting a little lonely out here by myself."
Yumi glances around and sees no more monsters unlike before. Ulrich shrugs with a small smile. "What about the monsters?"
"What monsters?" Ulrich asks innocently. Yumi rolls her eyes playfully.
Jeremy looks up nervously at the powerful XANA Yolanda. She steps forward.
"It was pretty rude of you to leave us there in the middle of our conversation, nurse Yolanda." She turns around to see Odd and Amy standing there, smirking.
"Oh, guys! Am I glad to see you!"
"Yeah, I'm glad to see us too," Odd replies smugly. Amy rolls her eyes, smiling.
"Yep. We're both a-okay," She gives Jeremy a thumbs up.
XANA Yolanda jumps into the air, firing a ball at both of them.
"It's getting pretty hairy over at the factory," Ulrich reminds Aelita and she runs into the tower. Like before, she goes up to the top.
Jeremy Odd, and Amy hug each other as XANA Yolanda prepares to fire the final blow.
Aelita lands at the top again and walks up. She presses her hand into the interface.
Aelita
The three cringe, closing their eyes.
Code
Lyoko
"Tower deactivated."
Yolanda goes back to normal, holding her head. She then falls unconscious on the floor. "I really think XANA needs to work on his bedside manner, don't you?" Odd turns to the two, who chuckle.
"Don't scare me like that ever again, Odd," Amy frowns at him a bit.
"Don't you worry, Ames, I never will," He hugs her and she smiles, hugging him back gently.
"Yolanda turned into this weird super scary demon and jumped out of the window!" Sissi is explaining her story to Jim and her father. "That's what happened."
"Reminds me of when I worked at a psychiatric hospital," Jim replies.
"You worked in a psychiatric hospital?" Mr. Delmas asks curiously.
"I'd rather not talk about it," Jim closes his eyes.
"But it's the truth, I tell you!" Sissi insists, hands on her hips.
"Listen Sissi, dear, stop this nonsense and tell me what really happened!"
The door opens behind them. "Why don't you ask Yolanda?" Ulrich asks, him and Jeremy helping out the nurse.
They stare at her, Sissi with her arms crossed.
"Ms. Paradin wasn't feeling very well, so she went out for some air," Aelita lies to the principal. Yolanda has gotten some rest.
"Out the window?" Mr. Delmas asks slowly.
"Uh...yes, of course. Why not?"
"S-She didn't want to leave the students concerned," Amy smiles widely.
"Is that really what happened, Yolanda?" Mr. Delmas asks for her side of the story.
"Well, uh, yes, I-I mean...I don't really remember," She closes her eyes, but she assumes that's what must've happened. "It's as though I blacked out. But I don't see why Aelita or Amelia for that matter would want to lie."
The two girls smile at the principal.
"Nice one, girls. You were perfect," Jeremy congratulates as they walk out of there scot-free. Odd and Amy are holding hands.
"You know, anybody that lies that well could only be...human. Right, Jeremy?" Odd winks at Ulrich, who laughs back with a wink.
"Hold it!" Sissi shouts, running after them. "I am NOT crazy. There are some super weirdo things that happened in that infirmary! There's even something weirdo going on right now!" She points to Odd and Amy holding hands. Some kids gather around, whispering around.
"Are Odd and Amy a thing?"
"Wow, it finally happened!"
"They're so cute together."
"Relax, Sissi," Jeremy tells her. "We understand how it would make you crazy to be five pounds overweight."
The crowd around them starts laughing at her.
"Ah! I am NOT five pounds overweight," She denies, Odd smiling widely.
"No, no, come on. Don't worry. You know, nobody's perfect."
"Speak for yourself, scrawny!" She runs off, not wanting everyone else to talk about it.
"I AM SVELTE!" Odd shouts after her. Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy laugh at him.
"Amy, Odd?" Milly walks up to them, microphone in hand. Tamiya is filming them. "Could you answer some questions about the Kadic News? Everyone's been talking about the new power couple!"
"Ah, sure?" Amy asks slowly, wondering how that got around so fast.
"Great!" She pulls out a pen. "Who confessed first?"
Odd raises a hand. "How long have you liked Amy?"
"Uhh," Odd scratches his nose, trying to think. "I knew she was beautiful from the start, but she was playing hard to get, so I made the first move."
Amy rolls her eyes playfully.
"And Amy," Milly speaks up when she's done writing. "How long have you liked Odd? Was it love at first sight for you?"
"I didn't really start having feelings for him until a party at Yumi's house. He listens to me and comforts me in my time of need," She smiles softly and Odd kisses her cheek. Tamiya snaps a photo.
"What a scoop! This is gonna go on the front page!" She smiles at them.
"How would you describe your relationship?" Milly asks them, their friends looking on.
"Do you think they made the right decision announcing it now?" Yumi wonders, seeing how happy they are.
"Of course. But you know what that means, boys?" Aelita smirks at them and they sweat a little. That's when they realized...
They lost the bet.
Amy and Odd are laughing together as they approach Amy's room. She smiles at how their night went. They went to see a horror movie, and she might've...screamed a bit. But Odd was also there to comfort her through the whole thing. To her, it was so nice to know what having a sense of normal life is like...
Even if it's short-lived.
"Well, this is me," Amy stops in front of her door, Odd smiling as he holds her jacket.
"Here, Ames," He puts it on her.
"Thank you," She smiles at him. He raises his hands to her cheeks, staring into her eyes. Her lips look soft and inviting. He couldn't hold it in any longer. He connects their lips into a passionate kiss.
Butterflies flew in their stomachs as they pull each other close. An explosion of happiness explodes in Amy's chest as she smiles. Odd moves his hands to her waist as their kiss becomes more passionate. She wraps her arms around him and soon, they pull away for air.
Both of them are smiling stupidly at what just happened.
"Heh," Amy laughs giddily. She felt like an actual schoolgirl...which, technically, she is.
"I, uh, had a great time with you," Odd confesses bashfully.
"I did too," Amy places her hand on the doorknob.
"I'll pick you up early tomorrow so we can go to breakfast together," He offers and her heart lit up at the thought.
"...Okay!" She answers excitedly. He didn't want to, but he lets go of her hand slowly. They watch to each other as Odd walks through the double doors. She sighs happily, opening the door. She's immediately met with an excited Aelita.
"You're back!" Aelita hugs her and Amy chuckles in embarrassment. Given that it's almost 11 at night, Aelita must've stayed up to wait for her. "Yumi and I can't wait to hear all about it!" She holds up her mobile and Amy rubs her neck.
"Gosh, even Yumi stayed up...?" Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Kiki sleeping in her drawer.
"Of course! Do you know how long we've been waiting for this?" Yumi replies back and Amy sighs at her, putting down her jacket. She sits down on her bed and Aelita sits next to her, waiting patiently with a huge smile on her face. To Amy, it honestly creeped her out a little bit.
"Well...we went to go see a horror film that was playing. He said...that I looked beautiful," Amy blushes at the thought. "I thanked him and we walked to the theater together, enjoying the sights. We laughed...we can talk about anything for hours, Aelita. We like dogs, we like types of art, and we like the same music," Amy smiles fondly. "And he was a total gentlemen, he held the doors open for me and he paid for everything, even though I insisted on it. He doesn't care that I'm rich, he likes me for me. And...I really like being with him," Amy squeezes her eyes shut in glee, glad that she's not dreaming.
"That's so great," Aelita smiles, feeling happy just seeing Amy like this.
"Yeah, we really like you two together," Yumi chimes in. Amy grins, going off to take a shower. "And we won the bet too."
Aelita chuckles as now the boys have to wear chicken hats to class tomorrow morning...
