Angel: Um...for me to do an epilogue when they're aged up is kind of impossible...since, oh I don't know, there's a fifth live-action season that continues the story XD Speaking of Evolution, I will not be doing it because I never really liked the live-action season. They changed so many things, especially since they took away THE BEST DOG EVER. How dare they remove Kiwi T^T Plus...
Laura is probably the worst character ever in this show, and that is saying a lot.
Anyway, that season just turns me off, and I feel like I'd be insulting not just myself, but other haters out there XD
Odd and Ulrich are sleeping soundly in their rooms when something beeps from underneath Odd's bed. Kiwi sits up at the noise and Ulrich groans to himself as Odd sits up. That noise has been occurring for a while now.
"Can't a guy sleep in peace around here?" Ulrich grumbles as Odd sleepily walks up to their closet.
"Sorry, it's Jean-Pierre." He opens up the closet to reveal a tamagutchi that's beeping. A virtual duck is walking around as Odd picks it up.
"What a ridiculous name for a tamagutchi," Ulrich voices his opinion as Odd tends to it. "Jean-Pierre."
"Don't you pay attention to him, my lil coochie-coo," Odd sits on his bed with a smile. "He's pretty cool, huh?"
"Mm," Ulrich simply says as Odd leans against his pillow, going back to sleep.
Jeremy is sleeping in his bed when his computer turns on, some locked files appearing...
The next morning, Nicolas and Herb are in the bathroom, having just gotten up. Odd reaches out for Jean-Pierre on the floor...only...
"He's disappeared!" Odd looks at the ground where there's no tamagutchi to be seen. "He's disappeared!"
"Mind telling me who's disappeared, Odd?" Ulrich asks from the window as he's getting ready to shower.
"Jean-Pierre's disappeared!" Odd looks up at him and Ulrich has a suspicious look on his face...
"Maybe he went out looking for someone who'll give him a better name," Ulrich retorts to him.
"You stole my Jean-Pierre, Ulrich!" Odd gives him a dirty look. "And I want him back!"
There's a small pause from Ulrich before he actually turns around. "Hey, are you out of your mind? I don't want your dumb plastic Jean-Pierre!"
"But then if...it wasn't you, then he had to have been kidnapped!" Odd has a worried expression.
"I sure hope your piggy bank is full so you can pay the ransom," Ulrich smiles teasingly.
"Stop it, come on! Don't you understand? He'll die of hunger if we don't find him! What are we gonna do, huh?" Odd starts to panic at all the possibilities.
"Hmm. Hey, I know. How bout some breakfast?" Ulrich was hoping that he'd just forget about it and move on.
Jean-Pierre is writing something when there's a knock at his door. "Yes?"
Two men in black tie suits open the door to his office. "Jean Pierre Delmas?"
"Uh, yes," He answers slowly, wondering why they're here. Last time he checked, he didn't do anything illegal...not anything to guarantee a visit from suit-clad men.
"It seems Jean Pierre, you're interested in non-enriched uranium..." One of them starts off.
"What did you say?" He asks in confusion. He doesn't even know what that is, not that he has a reason to use it.
"Jean-Pierre's not any old tamagutchi virtual pet," Odd is explaining to Jeremy. "He's only a few months old, he's very fragile! Ames gave him to me as a present." Ulrich and Jeremy just stare at him for a few seconds. "Would you abandon a helpless baby, Jeremy?"
"If he was just plastic, I sure would," Jeremy replies with a small smile.
"We've gotta go look for him right away!" Odd slams his hand onto his tray, causing his bowl to fly into the air for a few seconds.
"I think it'd be a lot better to wait," Ulrich advises, Odd raising an eyebrow.
"I don't get it! Wait for what?"
"For Amy to buy you another one." Ulrich and Jeremy both laugh at the slim chances of that happening.
"Oh, I get the picture now," He narrows his eyes at them. "I thought the good friends were there when you needed them, but I guess I was mistaken!" He shouts the last part as he stands up, the two boys just looking at him. He sulks as he walks out of the cafeteria, Sissi standing at the stairs.
"What do you know? You left your little tamasushi at home?" She smiles at him, noticing his mood.
"Do you like soggy frozen waffles in cereal that's genetically modified?"
"Why do you wanna know that?" She raises an eyebrow in confusion. Amy just happens to arrive as her sketchbook is underneath her arm.
"Cause it messes up your stomach when it goes down your throat!" He shouts at her, to Amy's confusion as he walks past.
"Oh wow, he must've gotten up on the long side of the bed today," Sissi stares after him.
"Not a long side, Sissi, it's the wrong side," Herb corrects sheepishly.
"Zip it up right now, Herb!" She tells him sharply.
"Odd," Amy runs after him and he continues walking. She comes to a stop and he stands in front of her, twiddling his feet. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Yes, something happened! Jean-Pierre has been kidnapped!"
"The principal?" Amy raises an eyebrow in confusion. Odd wouldn't be this worked up over the principal unless XANA had something to do with it.
"No, Jean-Pierre the tamagutchi!" He elaborates with a frown. "I'm sorry, Ames. I know how much you must've spent to get him for me..."
"Aw, Odd," She gives him a hug, to his surprise. "I'm not angry. I'm just glad you told me the truth. Besides, it wasn't particularly my money. My mom got all of my dad's assets, remember? Don't feel bad. I'm sure that we'll find him."
"Really?" He looks up at her hopefully.
"Really really," She smiles at him softly.
"Now wait a minute, what is it you want?" Principal Delmas demands from the agents. "I haven't done anything!"
"You got an affinity for bombers, especially the long-range kind," The bald African-American agent brings the principal to his face. "And the particular affection for anthrax and other degenerate stuff like that."
"I assure you, I'm a respectable school principal!" Principal Delmas insists into the agent's sunglasses.
"Alright," He seems to trust the principal as he's not capable of getting his hands on that stuff without looking suspicious. "We believe you," He drops him onto his chair.
"What's the meaning of this?! And who are you?" Principal Delmas glares up at them. He deserved to know the identities of people who barge into his office and accuse him of a crime.
"We belong to an ultra high security division of the Secret Service. The president himself has no idea that we exist," The first agent says.
"Even we have no idea who we really are," The second one explains.
"But then you-"
"Sit still."
"At 10 pm last night, the computer of a large weapons manufacturer was hacked. And documents dealing with highly sensitive and classified offense data was accessed," The first agent starts off.
"It so happens that the hacker unwittingly left a trail leading directly back to him," The second agent continues. "And the trail led us straight back to this phone line here in your school," He holds up a paper that has a phone number on it. "Whose phone is it?"
Principal Delmas leads them to a room in the dorms.
Jeremy's room.
"This room is occupied by Jeremy Belpois," He says as they examine the room.
"There's something I just don't get," The second agent looks at the computer that's off. "It's impossible to hack into the system with that. He'd need a much more powerful mainframe configuration."
"Something that's not available over the counter," The first agent deduces.
"The question is...how did he get his hands on it? Who are his contacts? Which terrorist cell is he working for?"
"Right," They turn to the principal. "We'll keep this Jeremy Belpois under tight surveillance. Microphones, cameras, we're gonna watch him. He doesn't know it, but we're gonna use him to break this group."
"But our Jeremy Belpois a terrorist?" Principal Delmas scratches the back of his head in utter disbelief. Never in his years as a principal has this ever come up. "I can't believe it...in any event, let me assure you, gentlemen, of my personal and total cooperation."
"You know, I might be able to help," They turn around to see Jim peeking into the room. "I never told you this, sir, but I was a Secret Service agent for a couple of years there."
"You were?" Principal Delmas asks incredibly.
"Yes, that's absolutely right, but I'd rather not talk about it."
"Enough," The second agent interrupts.
"Now listen. If you really wanna help, then set up the equipment with us. That way, we might take you off the suspect list."
Students are in the courtyard as everyone except Yumi is gathered around a tree. "So, when do you recall seeing Jean-Pierre for the last time?" Jeremy asks the upset Odd.
"For the hundredth time, he went to sleep right next to the bed!" Odd says in a strained voice.
"Okay then, Kiwi would've started to growl if anyone had come into the room," Jeremy points out.
"Yes, but not if he recognized who it was," Aelita replies just as Yumi arrives.
"Hi, what's up, guys?" She greets politely, Amy bending down to Odd and patting his back.
"Jean-Pierre has disappeared," Aelita tells her, to her surprise.
"You mean the principal?"
"No, the tamagutchi," Aelita, Jeremy, Ulrich, and Amy correct in unison. Jeremy bends down to Odd, placing a hand on his arm.
"Odd, let's go and see if we can find any clues in your room," He suggests, but Odd keeps that upset face.
"Oh, come on, Odd," Amy takes a hold of his hand. "Worst case scenario, I'll have to buy another one."
"I don't want you to," He gives her a 'don't do it' look. "I'll find him!" Besides, he didn't want a copy of her present, he wanted the original...it might've annoyed everyone else, but that little toy meant a lot to him because it was from his sweet little Ames.
Jim knocks on the door that leads to the boiler room. "Password?"
"Birdbrain," Jim says and the door opens to reveal the second agent.
"That's it. Come on in."
Jim walks down the stairs and salutes. "Jim Morales reporting. Audio, video, all mics and cameras discreetly hidden!"
They've set up some computers that are linked to the cameras that Jim planted.
"Very good. Let's get this show on the road."
Camera 2 is behind a light in the dorm hallway, camera 1 is near a door, and camera 3 is underneath a desk.
"It's a good thing you weren't a camera man for a TV station," The first agent comments.
Jim crosses his arms. "But I did work as a TV cameraman."
"There, camera 3a!" Principal Delmas looks at the third computer. Odd, Amy, and Jeremy are searching Odd and Ulrich's room.
"What are they doing in Della Robbia's room at this time of day? And with a girl inside? Why aren't they in the lunch room?" Jim asks curiously.
Kiwi pops out of one of the drawers. "What?!" Principal Delmas exclaims angrily. "Jim, would you mind telling me what a dog is doing in my establishment?" He glares up at Jim.
"I, uh...I don't know, sir. It's the first time I've ever seen him."
"Quiet, you two," The Caucasian agent tells them, turning the dial from their audio receiver. They can hear Kiwi barking. "Where did you put the microphone?"
"Under the bed," Jim states as he's standing there still in shock at Kiwi.
"Well done. Right next to a noisy dog!"
The boys and Amy then leave the room.
"They're, uh, they're all leaving the room now," Principal Delmas looks to the Caucasian agent.
"Camera 2c, dormitory hallway." Camera 2c is behind a fire extinguisher.
"Uh, I thought it was a real clever idea to conceal the camera behind that extinguisher," Jim stammers when the agent gives him a look. "Uh, insignia. I mean, uh, inquisitor."
"I'm getting more and more worried," Odd says as he walks right past the camera. "This is serious."
"Yeah, we know. If we don't find Jean-Pierre in the next 8 hours, it's the end of the world," Jeremy replies sarcastically.
"Did you hear that?" Principal Delmas asks in shock. "He just said Jean-Pierre, why that's my name as well."
"Oh yes, we heard it," The African American agent looks down at him. "Is there anything you'd care to tell us...Jean-Pierre?"
"But this is completely absurd, I have nothing to do with this, I tell you!" Principal Delmas insists to him.
"Okay, drop it," The Caucasian agent speaks up. "Time to turn things up a notch. Jim, I want you to put a tracer on the suspect. That way, he'll never be out of our reach."
Jim salutes to him, humming in agreement.
Jeremy climbs up the bench in the boys' bathroom, looking around. Amy and Aelita peek in. "Still nothing?"
"What are you doing in here?!"
They turn around to see Jim. "Out! On the double!"
Everyone leaves one by one. Jim punches Jeremy slightly in the back when he passes by. "Hey!" He turns around to the teacher. "Is anything the matter, Jim?"
"Oh, those darn mosquitoes!" In actuality, he put the tracker on Jeremy's backpack.
"That was weird," Amy comments as Jeremy steps out. The boy just shrugs at her. The two agents track the boy as classes end and everyone steps out of the building.
"Just think, I'm going to lunch at the same time Jean-Pierre is dying a slow and painful death because he has nothing to eat," Odd says mournfully.
"Life is so tough, and since he's just a piece of plastic with no feelings, he's blaming you for his misery," Ulrich comments as Jeremy's computer beeps. He bends down and opens up his backpack.
"Hang on."
They turn around as he pulls out his laptop, putting it on his knee. "XANA's on the attack."
"Oh, that's great!" Odd complains, "I'm never gonna find Jean-Pierre! Doesn't XANA ever take a little lunch break?"
"No," Jeremy stands up, "And so we're not gonna take any either. Let's go, come on!"
Jim is staring at them not too far away as he watches them run off, away from the direction of the lunch room.
"Chicken Hawk calling henhouse. The bird has flown the coop, I repeat, flown the coop."
"What kind of gibberish is that?!" The Caucasian agent asks into his communicator headphone. "Would you mind speaking normally?!"
"Uh, Belpois and his pals are on the move," Jim corrects himself.
"Okay, stay on their tails," The agents start to leave.
Yumi climbs down the ladder to the sewers, followed by Jeremy and Aelita. Jim peeks through the bushes as Ulrich crawls inside the ole.
"Oh wow, they're going into the sewers," Jim reports, but gets no answer. "Hey. Do you read me?"
"Loud and clear," They reveal themselves behind the trees, surprising the gym teacher.
Jeremy gets into the computer, virtualizing his friends. "Virtualization."
Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi virtualize in the ice sector, landing safely. Odd and Amy arrive a few seconds later.
"Here are your vehicles." The four rides appear and they quickly get on. The OverRunner and the Overboard fly over to their owners, allowing them to land. "The activated tower is situated south southwest."
Odd flies past Yumi and Ulrich. "Last one there's a rotten egg!"
Amy chuckles, revving up her racecar and taking off. Yumi and Ulrich follow after her.
The agents and Jim crawl down the ladder, closing the lid. Odd is in the lead until Ulrich rushes past him. He grips his Overboard, flying past them. The girls look to each other in amusement.
The agents land safely, with Jim falling off the rope. "That way," The Caucasian agent looks towards the elevator in the distance.
"That's crazy," Aelita points in the distance. "The tower...it's not activated."
"Are you sure that's the right tower, Jeremy?" Amy looks up.
"Of course I'm sure. That's the one."
"Then what's the explanation, Einstein?" Odd places his hands on his hips.
"Seems like XANA has found a way to mess up the super scan," He rubs his chin.
"But why would he lure us to Lyoko?" Yumi questions curiously.
"No idea, and I don't like it," Jeremy says as they all come to a stop in front of the tower. "I'm bringing you back in right now."
But before he could, the elevator door opens. "Step away from that keyboard," The African American agent demands, Jeremy turning around in shock.
"Huh?! What?"
"You're under arrest!"
"But what have I done?" Jeremy asks in confusion. He hadn't done anything to warrant these agents' suspicion...
"That's for you to tell us, kid!" The African American agent glances at him. "What happened to your pals, where are they?"
"And Jean-Pierre?" The Caucasian agent demands, but Jeremy stays silent. No matter what happened to him, he'd never tell.
"Right. Take him in. I'll stay here with Morales and see what evidence we can find."
The Caucasian agent takes away Jeremy to the elevator. Jim stares at the boy, wondering if he made the right decision.
"Don' just stand there, find me those other kids, fast!" He turns to the keyboard.
Odd and Amy fly around the tower, doing some tricks. The others just watch, Yumi giggling a bit as Amy circles the tower with her wings.
"Jeremy, what are you waiting for?" Aelita asks curiously.
The agent presses a key, causing Odd's Overboard and Amy's wings to devirtualize. "Whoa!" They fall in front of Yumi.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ulrich approaches them. The Overboard reappears and Odd bumps into it.
"Ow!"
The others laugh and Amy's wings reappear, sending her catapulting into the air. She lets out a scream before she stops flying, landing on the ground again.
"Something's very wrong," Yumi looks up. Jeremy hasn't responded for a while, and now there's glitches. "Jeremy?"
Amy and Odd get up, Ulrich standing in front of them. "Fire at me, guys."
They glance to each other before Amy's hands glow blue. "Well, you did make fun of my tamagutci, but that's not much of a reason to zap you, Ulrich."
"This is no time for jokes."
"Okay, anything for a good cause. Ready?" He looks up at Amy, who nods.
"Shattering ice," Tiny ice shards fire from her hands as Odd fires his laser arrow at Ulrich. Both attacks devirtualize him.
He holds his head as the scanner opens. "Oh no!"
Jim is standing in front of him. "Hey Stern, I want you to explain to me what all this UFO equipment is doing here."
"Sorry about this, Jim," Ulrich takes a stance, "But I have no choice!" He knocks the man out with a kick, running off to go find Jeremy. He climbs up the ladder and opens up the panel, surprised to see an agent there. Luckily, he doesn't see the boy, who climbs back down.
Jeremy is actually with the other agent and the principal, being interrogated. "I swear to you, I've never hacked any information in my life," He tells them, and it's true. He'd never use his computer skills to hack into anything—illegally. His cell phone rings, but the agent answers it.
"Jeremy, where are you? There's a weirdo in the lab," Ulrich says while riding the elevator to the main entrance.
"Ulrich, this is all XANA's doing, you hear me?!" Jeremy shouts out to the phone, "Bring everyone back home!"
Then the agent hangs up, confusing Ulrich. "Very interesting," The agent stares down at Jeremy. "Who is this XANA? The guy who recruited Jean-Pierre?"
"Please listen," Jeremy looks up at him pleadingly. "Just trust me this one time, and let me go back to the factory. I've gotta help my friends."
His laptop beeps and the agent ignores him, opening it up. "No!" Jeremy cries out, but the scan shows an activated tower anyway. A way tower in the mountain sector activates.
"What is this? A video game?" No one notices a specter traveling into the air, entering the agent. Jeremy and the principal stand there in shock as the agent tries to resist, but succumbs to XANA.
"Are you alright?" Principal Delmas asks in concern, the agent's lenses showing the XANA symbol. He stands up and Jeremy runs off. The man is about to attack him when the principal steps in. "No!" He takes the shock instead, falling onto the ground. The XANAified agent steps forward to look for Jeremy.
Back in the lab, Ulrich is in the ceiling, peeking in. A specter enters the second agent and Ulrich can only watch in shock. XANA takes complete control of the man, with the XANA symbol appearing over his lenses.
Jim appears, having woken up from what Ulrich did to him. "Morales reporting. I find the upper end of the Stern boy down in the underground room...but then he managed to escape. You wanna see for yourself?"
Both men leave the lab, Ulrich climbing down into the room.
Odd examines his Overboard, touching it to be sure. "Seems to be real this time." He sits on it, grabbing Amy's hand and pulling her up next to him. Aelita paces around as Yumi sits on a glacier. She stands up slowly.
The agent approaches a scanner and unplugs it. "Hey, I don't wanna pry," Jim speaks up, "But uh, I'd like to know what you're doing."
He unplugs another scanner, standing up.
"I want an answer, you hear?!" Jim touches his shoulder, the possessed man grabbing his wrist. "Now you listen to me! Let go of my arm! If you don't, I promise you sparks are gonna fly!"
He then shocks Jim with electricity from his hand, knocking him into the wall. He unplugs the last scanner.
"Yumi, Aelita, Odd, Amy, do you read me?" Ulrich asks, the two standing up.
"Ulrich...what's the matter? Where's Jeremy?" Aelita questions in worry.
"No idea. All I know is that there's this weirdo in the lab who's possessed by XANA. There has got to be an activated tower somewhere."
"In which sector?" Yumi asks, but he has no idea of finding that out.
"How should I know? Did you forget how awful at computers I am?"
"Use the super scan," Amy crosses her arms. "Duh."
"Okay, then how?"
"Listen to me, Ulrich," Aelita looks up towards the sky. "I'm going to guide you."
Jeremy peeks around the corner of the boiler room. The Caucasian agent senses his presence and fires at a pipe, making smoke appear. While he's distracted, Jeremy pushes past him and runs past the unconscious principal. The possessed agent prepares another attack, but the boy closes the door before he could be affected.
Ulrich finally locates the activated tower. "The tower is in the mountain sector. 25 degrees west, and 72 degrees south," Ulrich reports as sparking could be heard. "Better hurry up," He looks towards the electricity below him. "Because...wait a second."
Suddenly, a glacier in the ice sector glitches, getting their attention. "Uh, Ulrich, did you just hit delete or something?" Odd asks in confusion.
"No, but something very uncool is going on down below," He says as the electricity gets stronger around him.
"Ulrich, hit the enter key," Aelita tells him and he does so. This brings up footage of the supercomputer room...where the battery is being glitched by the other possessed agent.
"Bad news. There's a guy possessed by XANA, and he's trying to destroy the supercomputer," He then sees the status of the scanners. "And the scanners are offline."
"He must've unplugged them!" Amy narrows her eyes as she's driving in front.
"XANA's plan is diabolical," Aelita shakes her head. "If the supercomputer's destroyed, Lyoko will disappear forever and all of us along with it!"
"You have to get the scanners back online and bring us in fast!" Yumi calls out quickly.
"Sounds good, but I'm no Jeremy," He says in a 'duh' tone, "I can't put anything online. The best we can do is for you to deactivate the tower while I deal with that creepo downstairs." He takes off the headset and gets onto his feet.
"Roger, be careful. Time for us to change sectors," Odd turns to the girls.
Jeremy runs into the forest, still being chased by the white agent.
The four emerge into the mountain sector. "We better watch our life points," Aelita explains to the three, "If we lose them all with the scanners offline, it'll be game over for good!"
As they go down the path, the rocks start to glitch.
The black agent continues to attack the battery, the path glitching to the point where Aelita and Amy fall off. Amy slips out of her vehicle.
"Aelita!"
"Ames!"
The two swoop down and Yumi holds out her hand. She catches Aelita just before she could hit the Digital Sea. Odd spins around and flies underneath Amy, who's flailing her arms. She lands on the back of his Overboard and she sighs in relief, both the Overbike and OverRunner falling into the Digital Sea.
"Woo hoo!" Odd pumps a fist, Amy getting onto her feet and holding onto Odd's shoulders.
"Thanks, Odd."
"No problem, my lady! That's what I call extreme!" They can see the tower in the distance.
Ulrich runs up from behind and hits the agent with a crowbar. His whole body shakes and Ulrich suddenly remembers that people possessed by XANA can sometimes not feel attacks like that. The agent turns around and knocks Ulrich into the elevator. He slams the button as the possessed man was about to attack again. The agent stares at the doors.
Jeremy runs in the sewers, panting heavily as the white agent is still on his trail. He slowly walks down the path, his hand glowing purple.
The four reach the tower, which is guarded by three Megatanks. They fly above the monsters when the Overwing glitches, causing them to lower towards the ground. The same thing happens with Odd and Amy. Her wings start to flicker from behind and all modes of transportation disappear completely. Aelita and Yumi land on the ground, Odd and Amy falling just in front of the platform. He hugs Amy's waist and grips the rock with his claws, sliding to a stop.
"Get on," He gently puts Amy on his back and she hugs his neck. He climbs up the rock on all fours, the girl holding on as tight as she could. They circle around until they reach the girls, Odd flipping to the ground. Amy jumps off his back, dusting herself off. "That disappearing act isn't very cool!"
"It's the supercomputer," Amy frowns in worry. "I hope Ulrich and Jeremy are okay."
The Megatanks only just notice their presence, rolling over to them and opening up in half. They take off into a run, charging towards the three monsters. One of them opens up and fires the circular laser. Odd and Amy come to a stop, the boy firing his laser arrows. Amy holds out her hand, rocks circling around her hand.
"Rock Tomb."
Three rock slabs appear in the air...but they glitch out, completely disappearing. "Well, that didn't work." Amy pulls out her spear and throws it at the laser. When the weapons don't work against the powerful projectile, Odd pushes Amy out of the way just in time. Yumi throws her fans into the air, but they're knocked away by the laser. Yumi leaps out of the way, both of her fans landing in front of her. The Megatanks prepare another attack, towards Aelita. She holds out her hand, the pink orb appearing. She throws two of them at the laser, breaking it entirely.
Jeremy grabs the rope and jumps into the room. Just as he lands, the elevator is opened with Ulrich inside.
A Megatank rolls towards Yumi, who was still down from earlier. "Yumi!" Aelita calls out, holding out her hands. She uses her Creativity to make a ramp in front of Yumi. The Megatank jumps off it, landing in the Digital Sea.
Aelita falls to her knees in exhaustion. Amy and Odd are still dodging the laser.
The white agent looks around the room from above, leaping off the platform. He lands in front of the boys. Their mouths are open in shock as he's preparing another attack.
Odd fires another arrow as Amy's spear comes flying back to her. The Megatank closes itself, causing the laser arrow to ricochet.
"Aww! Hey, ever hear of fair play?!" He complains at this, crossing her arms.
"XANA never plays fair," Amy shakes her head. The Megatank rolls towards them and they run away from it.
"Okay, okay, I take it back!" Odd calls out, Aelita glancing at them. The second Megatank rolls to a stop in front of her, preparing to fire. The two run in the direction of the preparing Megatank, causing the two Megatanks to bump into each other. They leap into the air as the laser narrowly misses Aelita.
Something shakes in the factory and Jeremy looks at the ground to see it cracking. Something jumps out of it, revealing the black agent. He lands in the ceiling. The boys back away slowly, the white agent holding out a hand towards them. They look at the two nervously, hoping that their friends were deactivting the tower right about now.
Yumi takes off into a run as both Megatanks prepare to fire at Aelita. "Watch out!" She tells the geisha, both of them waiting for the attack. They fire at the same time, the girls narrowly ducking out of the way. They stand next to each other as the Megatanks fire again. Yumi and Aelita quickly jump away, Aelita running past a laser. She stops in front of another, preparing two energy fields in her hands. She brings them together and when the laser fires, she manages to catch the projectile between the energy fields. However, it's powerful as she starts to get pushed back.
Yumi flips past a laser, flipping behind a rock to avoid another.
Aelita slides back further towards the edge of the platform.
Jeremy and Ulrich step back, seeing the XANA symbol in their sunglasses. The elevator starts to operate as they prepare a team attack. Jim jumps from behind, putting his arms around their necks.
"Now who's the boss, huh?"
They grab his arms and electrocute the man off them.
Odd and Amy run down a path, a Megatank running after them. They reach the edge and jump. Odd grabs Amy's hand, his claws going into the rock as the Megatank falls behind them. However, it opens up and fires a laser...right at the platform they're hanging onto. Odd lets go of the rock, both of them screaming as they're nearing the Digital Sea.
"Odd! Amy!" Yumi presses her hands to her forehead, telekinetically stopping them before they could hit the water.
She focuses her power and lifts them up into the air, eventually getting them back on ground. When they're safe, they fall down in exhaustion.
"Thanks, Yumi," Odd says gratefully when the two stand up.
Turning around, they see the last Megatank preparing to fire at them. Aelita appears from behind it.
"The tower!" Yumi cries out. "Hurry!"
She hesitates for a second, but runs off. The Megatank fires, Odd landing on top of it and firing twice. He jumps off and runs.
The white agent holds out his hands, the boys jumping away from an electric bolt. Aelita gets closer and closer to the tower.
Ulrich grabs a piece of glass and uses it to deflect the next attack. It hits the possessed agent, but the other one steps forward. The glass breaks into pieces.
"Oh, seven years bad luck." None of those years would compare to this, however!
The Megatank rolls onto its side and opens up, firing horizontally this time. Aelita runs into the tower before it could hit her, stopping in the center of the platform.
Yumi jumps up and throws her fans. Amy backflips, throwing her spear. Both weapons hit the eye, causing it to be destroyed.
"Yeah!" Odd cheers at them.
Aelita floats into the air.
The two agents approach the boys.
Aelita spins before she reaches the top.
The black agent fires an electric bolt from his mouth.
Aelita presses her hand to the interface.
Jeremy looks up in fear at the possessed men.
"Let's hope it works," Aelita murmurs to herself, watching in anticipation.
Jeremy awaits his doom.
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
The agents slowly lose their powers and kneel a bit from what they've just experienced.
Jeremy sits at the supercomputer, Jim standing next to him. He scratches his head in confusion. "Honestly, I haven't got the slightest idea what this junk is used for. What did you say it was for?" Ulrich walks up to him from behind.
"We didn't say anything at all."
"Well, the supercomputer has taken a hit. It's pretty badly damaged. I hope it'll work again..." Jeremy explains to them.
"Hope what'll work again?" Jim asks him, and Jeremy ignores the question in favor of activating it.
"Return to the past now," He presses enter. "Return to the past now!"
Everything gets engulfed in white and they're taken back to when Jean-Pierre got snatched again. Odd feels the floor and looks down in dismay.
"Oh no, not again!"
"Lost Jean-Pierre again, Odd?" Ulrich questions from his desk. He's already in his regular clothing, but he doesn't notice the camera next to him.
"Yeah, but this time, I'm gonna find out who stole it!"
Ulrich turns around, noticing the camera in shock. He never thought that Odd would take precaution like that. Heck, that's something Jeremy would do.
"Listen up, everybody!" Odd walks up to Jeremy, Yumi, Amy, and Aelita, Ulrich in tow. "Now we're gonna see who Jean-Pierre's kidnapper was!"
They all watch the footage together to see Ulrich snatching the tamagutchi not too long before Odd woke up. "It was...it was you, Ulrich?!" He gives his friend a glare. But it doesn't stop there, because he opens the door to Jeremy and Aelita.
"You're all a bunch of traitors! The only ones I can really trust are Yumi and my Ames from now on!"
"Uhh, Odd, it was my idea," Yumi closes her eyes in guilt.
"No...you too? But what do you all have against my Jean-Pierre?" Odd stares at them in disbelief, turning to Amy. "At least I know you didn't have any part in it."
"What was so wrong with him?" Amy turns her attention to their friends with a pout. "I spent two weeks' allowance to buy that for Odd..." Not to mention she spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to give him. Aelita would know; she's seen the strewn papers around Amy's bed.
"We did it for his own good, and ours, because you were starting to get hooked on him. It's not bad to give him a gift, Amy, but next time, get him some clothes or something," Ulrich speaks up, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Relax, Odd, Jean-Pierre is just fine. Believe me, he couldn't be in better hands," Yumi assures him. Amy would buy another one, but after learning this information, they'd just snatch it away again. Maybe she will take that advice after all.
Hiroki is walking home with Jean-Pierre when the tamagutchi dies. He narrows his eyes and tosses it onto the street. Jean-Pierre gets run over and smashed to pieces as his death...
