Angel: I went to go see Sonic the Hedgehog movie on Friday (first trailer design was god-awful, thank god they improved it), and I'm not gonna spoil for those who haven't seen it or want to, but it was honestly a good, fun movie. Some kids were even dressed as Sonic! I felt Sonic's loneliness hit me through the screen, I felt so bad for him.

Odd is firing at monsters in the mountain sector, but he seems to be off his game as he misses. "Oh no, missed again!" He fires at Three Bloks, flying over them. They follow after Aelita next, who was trying to reach the tower and failing. They continue to fire relentlessly as she comes to a stop.

"Watch out! If the Scyphozoa pulls Aelita into the way tower, it's all over! We can say goodbye to the mountain sector! And then...bye bye Lyoko too!"

"And us," Amy inputs as she drives underneath her boyfriend.

"We got the picture, Einstein," Odd tells him, Ulrich driving up to Amy. They glance to the platform underneath them, revving up and jumping over. They land near the tower in front of the Bloks. Ulrich jumps off, leaving his Overbike driving away. Amy swerves around, coming to a stop behind him. Aelita stops as the bike zips past her, the Bloks firing. Amy backflips out of her racecar, helping Ulrich deflect the lasers away from their friend. He turns around and winks, running up to the monsters.

"Amy!"

"Got it!" She leads Aelita towards the tower.

"Triplicate!" He and his duplicates run up to the Bloks. Both are immediately destroyed and Ulrich leaps into the air, stabbing one in the eye. "Impact!"

Odd flies to the tower on his Overboard. "Laser Arrow!" He fires at a Blok, but the arrow only grazes it, much to his disappointment. Yumi flies past him as Amy's hands turn into rock.

"Rock Tomb!" She punches the ground, and it cracks towards the monster on her left. It creates a hole, sending the Blok into the Digital Sea. Ulrich rushes over to help out, getting hit in the leg. Yumi lands near him, glancing over her shoulder.

"Amy, you deal with jellyfish over there, we'll take it from here!" She throws her fan, destroying one of the Bloks. Amy flips towards the Scyphozoa while Aelita creates a rock for Yumi to use. She flings it at an approaching Blok, sending him to the Digital Sea.

The fairy flies into the air to avoid the jellyfish's tentacles, spinning her hands together. "Rock Spear!" She fires tiny little spears, hitting the head dead on.

"There you go, princess," Ulrich turns to Aelita, who smiles as her sister lands nearby.

"Hey, what am I here, a groupie?" Odd calls out above their heads.


"That makes 12 for me, anyone top that?" Ulrich asks while Odd puts in the code.

"13," Amy smiles a little. "Scyphozoa counts!"

"I got 10. Yumi?"

"Oh, not many, only 15. Odd, how many of XANA's monsters did you wipe out this week?"

"2," Odd mutters under his breath.

"That's all? What's going on? What's your problem?" Yumi notices that Odd is sulking.

"You know darn well! You all got superpowers: telekinesis, super sprint, powers in each sector, flight, you can all make stuff appear or do things or increase speed. Me, I've got zilch. The only power I ever had was Future Flash, and it got wiped out when Jeremy was updating the supercomputer. And he never reprogrammed it because it was, I quote, useless! So just knock it off with your high scores and low scores, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Odd," Amy frowns, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't want to upset you like you are now."

"I'm not upset! I'm more concerned if anything," She takes a hold of his hand. "You can always come to me if something's bothering you."

"Thanks..."


In the courtyard, Odd and Amy walk up to their friends at the vending machine. He walks right past them without a word.

"He's still sulking again," Yumi says to the others, Amy giving him a coin.

"Yeah...I don't know what to do," Amy turns to them, baffled. "He's stuck on how the rest of us are doing better than he is..."

Odd puts in a coin, but his drink spills right out before the cup, upsetting him further. "Oh, I don't believe it! Is the whole world trying to bring me down or what?"

"Hey..." Jeremy places a hand on his back. "Look, I'm on your side. I put a little something together that's bound to cheer you up, Odd."

"I hope it's nothing to eat because you're an awful cook."

Amy laughs a little, holding her stomach. "No. It's a special power just for you and nobody else: teleportation."

"You're the best, Einstein! If I were a girl, I'd propose to you immediately!"

"I'd prefer it if you didn't," Jeremy deadpans at him, Amy rolling her eyes in amusement.


To test it out, he heads to the mountain sector with Aelita and Amy in Lyoko, virtualizing in front of them. "I'm standing by, Jeremy."

"This new power will allow you to travel instantly over short distances," Jeremy explains to the blond.

"Cool! How does it work?"

"First, you have to visualize the place you wanna go to, okay?"

Odd looks around for a good spot before noticing something up ahead. "Like that big mountain, for instance?"

"Sure, why not? Next, you activate the program by saying the word teleportation."

"Okay..." He takes a few seconds, hoping that this would go well. He's tired at having little stats and only having a weapon and shield. He wasn't mad at his girlfriend, he thought her powers were cool, but he wants something of his own like the others.

"Teleportation."

A green light appears around him, transporting the cat-boy onto the small mountain. "Wow!" He exclaims in awe. "Fantastic!"

Aelita glances to her right, glancing between him and the spot. "No, not fantastic at all!"

"Why, what-" Amy looks in her direction and gasps sharply.

"Uh oh...looks like something's bugged up," Jeremy sees it too, but Odd doesn't seem to realize the problem.

"Okay, I'll try again."

"No, wait!" The girls warn him, but it's too late.

"Teleportation." He appears between the girls, concerning them. "Yoo hoo! Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Yeah, but honestly, one of you would've been enough. Look up there!" Aelita points towards the mountain, where he sees another Odd staring at him.

"Huh? What?"

"And..." Amy steps away to reveal another Odd right where he landed from virtualization.

"Jeremy, I take back my marriage proposal and give it to Ames instead!"

"Huh?!"

"Nobody panic!" Jeremy says with wide eyes. "It's only a minor bug."

"You call this minor?" Amy asks in disbelief as he's typing away.

"I'll rematerialize you!"

One of the scanners open and Odd stumbles out, moaning like a zombie. "Odd!" Jeremy catches him, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Odd opens one eye, kneeling and pointing up at them. "Fooled ya that time, didn't I?!" He giggles at their faces.

"Unbelievable, what a total meathead," Ulrich grumbles at him. "You're lucky Amy has a lot of patience!"

Then the same thing happens again as another Odd steps out, to their shock. Jeremy blinks at him as he does the same prank. "We know, fooled us that time."

"How'd you know what I was gonna say?" He looks up in confusion. The last Odd steps out, but instead of saying something, they just stand there in disbelief.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" The third Odd asks and then he sees his duplicates. "Huh?!"


"Look on the bright side, now you've got two more great buddies, and Ames has two more boyfriends!" The first Odd tells them in the lab.

"That's right!" The other two chime in unison.

"Get real, that's three times as many bad jokes," Ulrich deadpans at them.

"And two too many Odd Della Robbias at school," Yumi glances up towards Amy, who's just rubbing a temple at what the first Odd said. The last thing she expected today was to have two duplicates of Odd...

"Why don't the two Odds lay low here to stop anyone from getting suspicious and the other Odd can go to school as usual and everything will be cool?" Aelita suggests with a small smile.

"Good idea. I'll stay here and try to find out what went wrong, okay?" Jeremy asks them, Odd 1 narrowing his eyes.

"No way, Jose, it's lunchtime and we're starved. It's meatballs and gravy time!"

They all raise their brows at the three. The trio sure do act like Odd, alright... "What if we hid in my room and went to the lunchroom one at a time?"

"Great idea!" The other two nod in agreement. "Nice one, Odd!"

"Thanks a lot, guys. I thought of it, so me first, okay? Besides, I wanna spend time with my little Ames!"

"No me, I'm too hungry to wait! And you can't just hog Ames to yourself!"

"Forget it! Me first, I'm starved and I wanna go with her too!"

"Oh my god," Amy pinches her nose at this, blushing in embarrassment. Since when did this turn into a free-for-all just to be near her?

"Stop," Ulrich orders them, holding up his hands. "Leave this to me, okay? Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a Della Robbia by the toe, you go," He points to Odd 1, who cheers happily. He runs up to Amy, puckering up his lips, but she pushes him away gently.

"Ah ah! No kissing until you're back to normal! It'd just feel weird for me," She backs away a bit.


"Yo Jimbo, how's it going?" Odd 2 greets as he's heading back to his—or rather, their—room.

"Fine, thank you, Della Robbia," He smiles a bit over his shoulder. "But watch your tone. Don't get too familiar, the name's Jim."

Then Odd 3 walks past him, having just entered the hall. "Yo Jimbo, how's it going?"

"Fine, thank you, Della Robbia. But watch your tone, don't..." He realizes that the same conversation had just happened and he turns around to find the dorm hall empty. He scratches the top of his head, wondering what just happened...


Jim arrives in the cafeteria, seeing Odd 1 right in front of him. "Hey Jimbo! How's it going?"

"Uh, I'm, uh...great. Actually, I think I might even go lie down for a little while," He backs away, a little freaked out by seeing Odd almost everywhere.

"I think your doubles might've scared him," Amy smirks a little as she watches him leave with a giggle. He was so disturbed that he didn't even get his food...

He and Amy stand in front of Rosa, who places down the normal amount for the boy and girl. "Rosa, you look beautiful today!"

Both she and the brunette both smile in amusement. "Have you ever thought of becoming like...like a model or something? Because you-"

"Save it, will ya, Odd? I'll give you an extra helping, just spare me the baloney. And for you, Amelia, I'll give you a free dessert."

"Thanks Rosa," The girl smiles as she places down some cake. Odd 1 is finished with his meal within minutes, his friends staring at him, either shocked or disgusted. He licks the gravy off of his lips, seeing their looks.

"What? I can't keep my two best friends waiting, now can I?"

"But you can shovel a whole two helpings," Amy shakes her head at him.

"Wait here for your next pudding pop~!" He sings at her, kissing her cheek and walking off. She blushes as the others give her teasing looks. She clears her throat.

"What? He's my boyfriend. Not gonna apologize for what we say or do to each other," The girl crosses her arms stubbornly. "Even though I told them none of that..."

"Then why does it feel weird for you to do romantic things with him today?" Aelita asks curiously.

"It's not that I hate it, it's just that I don't know which one is which. They may all act the same, but one Odd is all I need," She takes a bite out of her meatball. "Though it is fun to see how it can freak people out like with Jim!" She giggles a bit.

Odd 1 jumps down the steps, holding a banana.

The other Odds are playing with Kiwi and Kiki, the dogs barking happily. Odd 1 arrives in the room. "Next, Bon Appetit!"

Rosa continues giving out food as Odd 2 steps in front of her. "Rosa, you look beautiful today!"

"Don't push it, Odd," She deadpans at him, "You already got a huge plate of meatballs. I'll give you some more potatoes, but that's it. Move on!"

Despite the smaller portion, Odd 2 eats anyway, licking his plate clean. He brings Amy's hand up to his lips, kissing it and winking at her, walking off. She sighs slowly at this and he goes back to the room.

"It's your turn."

Odd 3 arrives and uses the same technique. "Rosa-"

"Alright, not another word! That's it! The other kids ate as much as you and the lunchroom would've gone under a long time ago!" She points for him to leave without any food, much to his dismay.


Amy sits across the three Odds, petting Kiki. "Hey, gym class starts in five minutes. Get going," Ulrich informs the trio.

"Who's the lucky winner?"

"Count me out. It's not good exercising on a full stomach," Odd 1 denies, "I don't wanna be sick."

"You took so many helpings, that we had to go hungry!"

"That's right, you selfish hog! And you've had the most time with Ames, we want some too!"

"What, me, selfish?! After I wolfed down my lunch as fast as I could," Odd 1 takes his phone. "If that's how you feel, I'm out of here!" He storms out with Ulrich and Amy stands up.

"Ames, skip class and go on a date with me!"

"No me! I'm more charismatic!"

"I already ate, she'd get fat with you!"

"Guys!" She interrupts sharply, looking over her shoulder. "Odds, whatever! I have class too, so it wouldn't make a difference!" She opens up the door to get out of there as quick as she could. "I wish there was two other mes so that I don't have to feel so...ugh," She blushes, facepalming.

"Aww," The two Odds sag their shoulders in dismay.

"Yeah, well, I'm going to the movies. Now that I have clones, I can skip class and get away with it." Odd 2 stands up, dropping his magazine.

"No you don't, not so fast, pal!" Odd 3 gets onto his feet, glaring at him. "I haven't eaten anything, so I'm going for takeout and you're going to class!"

"Are you kidding me?!" He opens up the drawer, taking the money.

"Hey, that's my money," Odd 3 protests at him.

"No way, it's mine!"

Odd 3 takes it anyway. "Go on, go then and I hope you choke on your burger!"

Odd 2 takes what was left, frowning. "Maybe I can get Ames a rose..."


Odd 3 is about to take off when he's spotted by Jim. "Della Robbia? I must've seen you everywhere today...except in gym class! So listen up, young man. Get to the gym now and work up a sweat or you're gonna have something else to sweat about!"

He whines as he heads for class, without anything to eat...well, at least he's the one who gets to be in class with Amy!

Odd 1 heads for the park, looking up at a tree. He takes a seat and lays down, though he wishes that Amy was here with him instead of being in class.

Odd 3's stomach grumbles as he narrows his eyes in annoyance. There was no way he'd be able to get through class without something... "Contrary to what some of you smart alecks might believe, throwing a discus has nothing to do with throwing out a CD that you're tired of listening to. No, it is an Olympic discipline that requires strength, skill, muscular coordination, and above all, a discus."

Amy scoots upwards, sitting in front of Odd 3 as she sneaks him a chocolate bar. "It's all I've got, but it should keep your energy up for the time being," She whispers to the duplicate, who smiles and takes it eagerly.

"Ames, you're the best! If I could, I'd kiss you right here and now!"

"Watch yourself, good buddy," Ulrich points to Amy's red ears. "Or you'll make her look like a tomato!"

Aelita giggles and the girl looks over her shoulder, glaring at all three of them.

"Shut up!"


Jeremy is typing away at the computer when he notices something wrong. "Oh no!"

Odd 2 walks up to a news stand. "Hello, what do you have in cheap movie guide magazines?"

"Well, the cheapest one is a buck and a half," He lowers his sumo magazine to look at him, glancing upwards. "I got one left."

"Nothing for 75 cents?" Odd 2 looks at the coins in his hand.

"Uh uh."

He walks away dejectedly, glancing over his shoulder. The man wouldn't leave his post, would he? He plucks the magazine and reads it. "Wheelchair Zombie 4, beginning at 2:30? Great!"

"What do you think you're doing?" The man demands, "This isn't a public library." Odd 2 runs off with a smirk. "Hey! Come back!"


Odd 1's phone rings while he's still in the park and he picks up, eyes closed. "This had better be important, Jeremy."

"I found out how to solve this teleportation bug problem," He says into the microphone. "The three of you each have to get into a scanner together, in order to fuse you back into one during the virtualization."

"Okay, I get it. For once, it sounds really easy," Odd smiles in relief. He wasn't sure how much longer he could handle his duplicates trying to fight for Amy's attention.

"I wish it was, but...there's a little problem. Your three entities are unstable. At a certain point, all three of you could disappear into thin air, understand?"

"That's horrible, what do we have to do? I can't leave my little Ames all alone in the world!" Odd bites his fingernails nervously.

"Get back here to the computer lab right now, you and the terrible twins. If any of you is missing, the fusion is impossible," Jeremy explains to him, silently rolling his eyes. He was happy for his friends as a couple, but sometimes Odd could be overly dramatic.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll go find them."


"A circuit in series differs from a circuit in parallel," Yumi is in science class with Ms. Hertz. "In that any single bulb that is missing from the circuit will cut the flow of electricity. Watch this demonstration," She takes a light bulb, but a XANA specter comes out of it. This shocks the science teacher as it exits out the window and lands right behind Jim.

"Let's put this into practice. After all, actions speak louder than words. So here's the demonstration for you."

Jeremy does a scan, and an activated tower pops up on screen. "Oh great," He deadpans at the sight. "That's all we need."

He calls Yumi immediately to warn her. Her phone rings and she answers it, glancing away. "Okay Jeremy, I'm on it."


"So, bend your knees like this," While Jim's speaking, grey smoke appears behind him. "Into a position which keeps your shifting weight in balance. Your arm holding the discus outstretched like this," He stretches his arm behind his back, Herb standing up.

"B-Behind you, Jim! There's something weird right behind you, look!"

"Listen up Herb, I was not born yesterday. What are you trying to pull?" He asks in annoyance.

"He's not lying, look!" Amy stands up, pointing at his legs which start to turn into stone. He's unable to move as he's turned into a statue. Herb just laughs at him.

"That is what I call having a hard day." He's suddenly a statue, concerning the class.

"This is XANA's doing," Ulrich narrows his eyes. "Let's get to the factory."

"And quick!" Amy takes the lead as the three run behind her. The brunette slides to a stop, Odd 3 pulling her backwards a bit so she doesn't get touched. They run in the other direction, seeing other students being turned into stone, including the whole gym class. They dash towards the science building, but Odd 3 trips and lands on his face. He looks back at the smoke, getting turned into a statue as well.

"Odd!" Ulrich exclaims as the other three had made it inside.

"Oh no!" Amy covers her mouth in shock.

"We have to get him out of here," Aelita stares at the duplicate.

"Okay. You wouldn't happen to have a pair of wings on you?" Ulrich glances to the sisters.

"Sorry, but that only applies to Lyoko," Amy looks back outside. "We can't even step outside long enough to get him without being petrified!"

"What we've gotta do is deactivate the tower," Yumi speaks up behind them. "If we stay here, we'll all end up as statues! The north entrance is still a no smoke zone."

Amy looks outside one last time before following after her friends. If she got turned into a statue, she wouldn't be able to help Odd and deactivate the tower. She didn't want to leave him all alone, but hopefully he'll be okay.

"I'll tell Jeremy about Odd," Ulrich puts his phone up to his ear.

"Yes Ulrich? Petrified? Where? That means a change of plans!" He types furiously to contact Odd, or at least, one of them.

Odd 1 appears in his room, Kiwi wagging his tail at the sight of him. His phone rings and he answers it. "Jeremy? What? That's all we need. And what's more, the other me isn't in my room."

"Well, you'd better find him and then go and get number 3 who's petrified on campus, or else you'll never be able to reunited and become one of the same!"

"Great idea, but how should I know where he went?" Odd asks curiously, Kiwi wanting to be petted.

"Figure it out: what would you do in your day if you were you?"

"Me? Well, Amy sometimes makes plans, and I always ask her what she wants to do," He replies while rubbing Kiwi's stomach.

"You do whatever she wants?" Jeremy raises a brow.

"Half the time. Today's her day, after all."

"There you go! Now you know what to do," He hangs up and Odd calls up Amy, who stops running for a second, looking at her phone.

"Man, whatever it is, it's not a good time," She holds it up to her ear, glancing over her shoulder. "Yes?"

"Ames, hypothetically, if I wasn't in my situation right now, what would you have us do for our date?"

"You're asking me this now while I'm trying not to get turned into a statue?!" She screeches in disbelief, eyes widening and running off again from more smoke.

"No! So that I can find the other me!"

"Oh...well, either to the movies or to Presto Burger, since that's our place. Find him soon, okay?"

"Umm...can you go with me? He'll listen to you when we get there," He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. She slides to a stop and looks around for any smoke-filled routes to the city.

"I'll meet you at that news stand, the one we usually go to for movie magazines," She hangs up, looking up towards her friends. "Guys, go on without me. Odd needs my help locating his twin."

"Are you sure?" Aelita asks skeptically as she looks over her shoulder.

"No...but I don't think I have a choice," She glances away towards the smoke behind her.

"Good luck, Amy!" Yumi calls out as the brunette takes a different path. Soon, they reach the elevator and press the button.

"Jeremy, we're here. Amy went to go help the Odds, but they'll be back soon."

"I hope so. Okay, I'll start up the virtualization."

The three scanners open, the trio stepping inside. "Transfer Aelita. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Ulrich. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Ulrich."


"Movie or Presto Burger? Movie or Presto Burger? Movie or Presto Burger?" Odd 1 murmurs to himself, seeing a waving Amy near the news stand. "Ames, you're here!"

"I got Jackson to drive me. Apparently the smoke doesn't affect cars," She shrugs towards him as he runs up to her, engulfing her into a tight hug. She smiles and returns it, glad that it's her real boyfriend and not a clone.

"Not you again!" The man points to the boy in accusation. "Get over here, I wanna give you a piece of my mind!"

"Huh?" Amy turns to him in confusion.

"What's that? You mean I've been here already?" Odd 1 questions curiously.

"Yeah, and if you're planning to read another movie magazine for free, you better think again!"

Odd 1 points to the one from before. "You mean like this magazine here?"

"Yeah! You better cough up the money, because you're not gonna scam me again!"

He reads it anyway. "Surfer Zombie 4 at 2:30 at the Majestic!"

"Hey, where you going?" He watches the couple run off. "GET BACK HERE!"


"Virtualization!"

The three appear in the mountain sector, landing safely. "I see it. The activated tower is over there," Aelita points to the tower, which is down a looooong path from where they're standing. They run off as quick as they can, seeing a hole in front of them...while a Megatank appears. It devirtualizes Yumi in one hit.

She lays down in the scanner, hitting her fist against the metal for the cheap shot.

Odd 2 is walking down the sidewalk, humming to himself when a hand stops him from moving. "Can't I have two minutes on-" He turns around and sees Amy standing there with Odd 1. "A-Ames! I was just gonna go find a flower shop!"

"No. We need your help," She shakes her head. "When you and the other Odds are merged back together, then you can buy me all the flowers you want. But we have to work together, so no fighting over me anymore, please."

"But..." His lip quivers, "You're really pretty and sweet, and I wanted to experience it."

"This is so complicated to explain to a clone," She murmurs, pinching her nose.

The smoke surrounds the cafeteria, having affected more faculty and students, including the principal and Rosa herself.

The three run through the entrance of the school, seeing the smoke approaching them. "Well, they say smoke is dangerous for your health!" Odd 2 comments at the sight, since he hadn't seen it at all while he was out.

"Better not hang around. Where's Odd number 3?" The two look towards Amy, who points to where she saw him last.

"Other side of the science building, that's where Ulrich, sis, and I saw him get petrified. But it's already smoke-filled, so we can't access this way."

"Okay, I guess the best way to go is up," Odd 2 points up to the roof.


Meanwhile, back on Lyoko, Ulrich and Aelita are still hiding from the Megatank, as he's blocking the only way to the activated tower. They see the lasers firing between them.

"This is crazy, we can't move. We're stuck!" Ulrich mutters to her.

"Hang on," Aelita creates two energy fields between her hands, creating a shield. The Megatank prepares to activate the laser again, but she stands in front of it and uses her two projectiles to block the laser. "Come on, Ulrich!"

He nods in understanding and sprints forward. "Super sprint!" He runs all the way up to a rock, glancing over his shoulder and coming to a stop. "Aelita, watch out behind you!"

She turns around and notices another Megatank laser approaching towards her. She drops the energy fields and leans back so that the lasers pass right by her. Ulrich narrowly misses the second one, and one of the Megatanks destroy the other with their lasers.


The smoke is spreading out of the school as the two Odds and Amy reach the roof. They stop short as they recognize the statue below them. "He's right down there! Now we've gotta bring him back."

"Well if Tarzan can do it, so can we, right?" Odd 1 points to a hose right behind them.

"Just what I was thinking!"

"At least they're not fighting over me anymore," Amy murmurs to herself in relief.

Ulrich runs past the lasers as the monster in front of him attacks again. He hides behind another rock, peeking past it. He had no idea how he was gonna get past that Megatank...

One of the Odds jumps towards Odd 3 using the hose, eventually reaching the statue. He lowers himself upside down, securing him. "We're good, pull us up!"

Amy and Odd 2 pull them both up.

Ulrich rushes up to another rock, narrowly dodging another laser. He comes to a stop and speeds up. "Super sprint!" He focuses on the monster in front of him, running on the side of the path. The Megatank looks around in confusion as he jumps back onto the path. The monster immediately fires at the sight of him, jumping up and stabbing the target with his sword. The explosion knocks Ulrich back a bit, though not enough to devirtualize him. His sword slides to a stop nearby.

Amy and Odd 2 pull the statue up.

Ulrich rushes up to another rock, narrowly dodging another laser. He comes to a stop and speeds up. "Super sprint!" He focuses on the monster in front of him, running on the side of the path. The Megatank looks around in confusion as he jumps back onto the path. The monster immediately fires at the sight of him, jumping up and stabbing the target with his sword. The explosion knocks Ulrich back a bit, not enough to devirtualize him. His sword slides to a stop nearby.

Odd 2 and Amy pull up Odd 1, both of them slightly exhausted. "Thanks a lot."

"The pleasure's all mine. Well, what do we do now?"

"Hmm," They all look at the smoke, noticing how it hasn't touched the forest. "We have to get back to the smoke-free section down there. I've got an idea."

"I think I just read your mind!" Odd 2 smirks in realization. They both look at the brunette.

"Ames, do you trust me? Well, us?"

"...Why do I feel like I'm gonna regret this?" Amy asks nervously, sweating a bit.

"Go ahead, the coast is clear," Ulrich tells Aelita, who starts to run, and then stops, pointing behind him.

"Ulrich! Watch out!"

Another Megatank arrives and before Ulrich can grab his sword, it's destroyed by the circular laser. "Oh!"

"One...two...three!"

Odd 2 yells out a Tarzan scream as he jumps all the way across to the trees. He manages to land in one, creating a makeshift zipline from the roof into the woods. "Okay, your turn!" He's left dangling from a tree as Odd 1 and Odd 3 go next, yelling in the same way.

"Hey, it works!"

"Sure it did, what did you expect?"

"Better than Tarzan!"

"Your turn, Ames!" Odd 1 looks up at her and she glances at the ground nervously, holding her belt over the zipline. "You can do it, my little lady!"

She takes a deep breath and jumps off, screaming as she slides, eventually coming to a stop at the statue of Odd 3. "Oh, that was actually kind of fun!" She smiles, looking up towards the roof.

"Told ya to trust us!"

"Now help get us down!"

She releases the belt, landing safely near the tree.

The Megatank rolls up to Ulrich, who runs away from it and further away from the tower. "Energy field!" Aelita fires her power, but it only rolls away once touched by the monster.

The two Odds are carrying Odd 3 as best as they can, though the smoke is now chasing after them.

"Oh no," Amy looks over her shoulder. "Hurry!"

"We're trying!"

Ulrich is about to go faster. "Super spri-" He gets flattened and devirtualized instead.

"It wasn't enough that they shoot at us, now they're trying to run us over," He grumbles once he's out of the scanner. "That's really not fair."

The smoke gets closer and closer as they've reached the secret entrance.

"Hurry up!" Odd 3 is pushed inside and Odd 1 closes it just in time before the smoke could touch them, but now the whole park is covered in it.

"Oops, sorry! There are times when it pays to have a head as hard as a rock."

"Come on, let's get you guys back together," Amy giggles, taking the lead.

"It's between the two of you now, Aelita," Jeremy says in worry.

"Yes, I know. And he's pretty tough," She jumps away as the Megatank tries to get in between the two rocks, but he's too big, thankfully. She throws an energy field, and it does nothing to him.

The four reach the bridge, seeing the smoke again.

"XANA really wants to prevent us today, huh?" Amy rubs a temple, running down the bridge as the two Odds follow her.

"To think I do everything I can to get out of gym!" Odd 1 pants in exhaustion as Odd 3 is really heavy. Yumi and Ulrich arrive. "About time! Any longer, and I'd have gone to the missing persons bureau!"

They all run away, Yumi and Ulrich holding onto the statue instead.

"We're okay, Jeremy. The Della Robbia family has been reunited," Yumi reports, both her and Ulrich tired from the workout.

"Perfect. Amy, you go in first, Aelita needs some help."

"On it!" Amy jumps into a scanner and it closes around her. "Transfer Amy. Scanner Amy. Virtualization."

She lands behind Aelita, running up to her sister.

The three Odds go in next, Ulrich and Yumi placing the statue into the last one.

"Transfer Odd. Transfer Odd. Transfer Odd. Scanner Odd. Scanner Odd. Scanner Odd. Virtualization."

And so, all of them are combined into one single Odd, who lands safely and looks around for any duplicates.

"Well Odd?"

"I suddenly feel a little lonely, but that's cool. You're the best, Einstein."

"Of course I am. Did you have any doubts?"

The Megatank continues to graze between the two rocks, eventually rolling backwards and firing the laser again. Amy takes Aelita by the back of her shirt and flies upwards. Aelita fires another energy field.

"Energy field!"

It hits the armor.

"Step aside, Aelita, let an expert do the job!" Odd calls out, flying in on his Overboard. He turns around and aims his hand. He fires once and destroys the hard-to-beat monster. "Yeah! Get ready, girls!"

The smoke comes in from the bridge, heading towards the elevator. It sneaks its way in and heads for the lab.

Up ahead, two Bloks come out of hiding from behind the tower, who fire on sigh. Odd jumps off his board and destroys one. He lands on top of the other, who looks around before he reveals himself. He waves his hand and hits the target dead on, landing as the Blok exploes behind him. He looks up and sees Amy flying Aelita over.

"My lady's tower is straight ahead," He gestures to it like a gentlemen as Amy drops her sister in front of the tower. She runs inside as Amy looks over her shoulder, smirking.

"Not so useless now, are you, pudding pop?"

He simply winks at her.

Aelita stops in the center and flies up to the top. The smoke reaches Jeremy, alarming him. He stands up on the chair. "Hurry Aelita!"

She lands on the top pad and walks up to the interface, pressing her palm against it.

The smoke disappears and he smiles in relief. "Everything okay, Jeremy?" Ulrich asks from the scanner room.

"No sweat," He sits back down. "I just have to launch the return to the past."

He presses enter and the time reversion is set, so that everyone who was turned into statues go back to normal.


"I finally understood what went wrong with the teleportation process," Jeremy explains, watching Odd eat the last of his meatballs. "If you want, I could reboot the program, with no bugs this time!"

"No thanks," Odd denies to him.

"You sure?"

"Yeah," He shrugs with a big smile. "I sure am. You saw that last battle of mine, huh? I am a top gun, a real fighting machine. I mean, a guy like me doesn't need special powers."

"Yeah, you're strong, very funny, and handsome, but most of all, you're modest," Yumi replies sarcastically.

"Right! You hit the nail right on the head. In fact, you might say that...I'm one of a kind."

They all start laughing together over what happened. "Ames, can I have that kiss now?"

"Yes," She rolls her eyes in amusement, pecking his lips. Honestly, it was weird to be fought over by clones of her boyfriend. Thankfully he also realized that he's special in his own way.
