In outer space, a meteorite is heading right towards the Earth...

Jeremy is in the lab, typing away as everyone expect one is in the Skid. "Okay then. I'm uploading the program over to you. Now the Skid's sonar should be able to differentiate bio signals from the rest of the computer code in the Digital Sea."

"Okay Jeremy, program received and activated," Aelita reports from her spot.

"And you think that with this, we'll be able to find out where XANA is keeping the spiritual essence of William prisoner?" Odd asks curiously from his Skid.

"Let's hope so. It's the best chance we have to bring him back into the real world."

"Ah, the return of our tall, handsome hero. I'm sure Ulrich's gonna be thrilled to have his old rival back!" Odd jokes to the Skid opposite of him.

"Odd, sometimes you're really a bit too much," Ulrich deadpans at this.

"Only sometimes? Oh no, I guess I must be slipping! Ames, why didn't you warn me?" He puts a hand to his head dramatically.

"Maybe because it's something I got used to. I dunno, guess I have a tolerance for you being a bit too much nowadays," She shrugs a little. Her hair is in her pink color.

"Speaking of Yumi, I wouldn't mind being in her shoes today," Jeremy smiles lightly, hands behind his neck.

"Are you kidding? Helping run the outdoor science lab with 6th graders isn't exactly her idea of fun!" Ulrich retorts back.

"Oh, come on, I bet she's loving it!"


She's actually not as a glare is on her face. "We marked the exceptional event of the comet VG724 as passage near Earth. We are going to build a giant mock-up of the solar system to planets' path and better understand its periodic extrasolar orbit. Beside me is a scale model of our sun as you can see. What you're going to do now is create 8 planets which orbit around it, so we'll break off into different teams, with each team responsible for one planet and its orbit. 6th graders will make their planets to scale whereas 10th graders will have the responsibility..."

"Uh, Yumi, I'd really like to be on your team," Johnny looks up at the Japanese girl.

"Sorry Johnny, that's not up to me," She waves a finger. "It's up to Ms. Hertz."

"Are there any questions?" Ms. Hertz questions once she's done explaining. Johnny waves his hands.

"Could I be on Yumi's team, huh ma'am?!" He yells, everyone breaking into a laugh. Yumi looks around at them and frowns.

"Alright Johnny, but don't let me catch you clowning around with Hiroki!" The science teacher agrees.

"This is really gonna be a lot of fun, huh?" Johnny smiles happily and she gives a small grunt.


Jeremy is watching a news report regarding the comet. "The mass and velocity of the comet known as VG724 are so great that striking the Earth would provoke an explosion equivalent to a thousand times the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Subsequence earthquakes and tsunamis would destroy the world's major cities. Atmospheric debris would blot out the sun in a long night-lasting two centuries. Consequently, this would spell mass extinction for flora and fauna, and the entire human race. Now of course, there's no risk of this happening since the comet will pass no closer than, um, well, two million kilometers from our planet. We also have been informed by highly confidential sources that the government operates a secret military satellite armed with laser cannons sufficiently powerful to be able to alter the course of any interstellar threats such as this."

"The detection spectrum is honing in," Aelita reports to everyone, "The sonar is picking up a faint trace of digital DNA in the area. It might be William, or even maybe..."

"Your father?" Ulrich asks solemnly. "What are we waiting for, let's go check it out!"

"I hope it is him," Odd murmurs as he looks downwards towards Amy's pod. He wants her to have a normal family life, even if it did seem impossible at times. Out of all of them, she had it the most rough since none of them have divorced parents...or a false parent at that.

"Okay," Aelita pulls the levers and the Skid moves forward.


Jim is moving a wheelbarrow filled with supplies. "For you, and you," Ms. Hertz is handing out worksheets to the groups.

"Oh! Too cool, guess what?" Johnny looks up happily. "We get to do planet Earth!"

"Yeah great, this is my lucky day," Yumi deadpans at this.

"Earth and the moon," Hiroki turns to his friend.

"Yippee, and to think Jeremy wanted to take my place," Yumi mutters, but this was for 6th and 10th graders only, which Jeremy is neither...

"Now, don't forget the sun here should be the center of your calculated orbits, right? And 6th graders, make sure you know your planetary scale in relation to the sun. May I remind all of you this exercise will be graded. Now get to work!" Ms. Hertz instructs everyone, Jim joining her side.

"Just a second, Suzanne. I have an important safety announcement to make," He puts the bullhorn to his mouth. "Now, about the poles, I'd like to call your attention to an important technical aspect. They have two ends! One is pointy and sharp, that's the one you put into the ground. We try to do it the other way, you might hurt yourself pushing on the pointy end."

Some of them giggle, a 6th grader taking his pole and running to the group. "Come on, you'd have to be an idiot not to figure that out."

"Eh?" He looks at his bandaged hand, hiding it behind his back with an embarrassed chuckle. Ms. Hertz raises a brow at him skeptically.


There's an activated tower in the desert sector, which Jeremy gets an alert for to his chargin. "Oh! Why now? Why can't we just go on an exploratory mission in peace for once...? Swell, XANA. What do you have in store for us this time?"

A satellite is heading towards Earth, pointing at the comet itself...A beam hits the comet, sending it in Earth's path!

"Sorry, Aelita, but you're needed back on Lyoko on the double," Jeremy reports to the group. "Activated tower."

"Of course it is. I should've known that XANA wouldn't let us explore in peace," Amy shakes her head at the news.

"Got it, Jeremy. I'm turning around," Aelita turns on the propellers and swerves the ship in a 180 turn, going in the opposite direction.


The 10th graders are separating their groups with string, Yumi taking steps while holding a notebook. "Okay, I'm done," Hiroki spins something on his finger. "What do you think of my planet Earth?" It doesn't even look close to Earth.

"Look, Yumi, the moon is yours for the asking!" Johnny chuckles as he's balancing a make-shift moon on the top of his head that has a smiley face on it.

"Yeah, right," She scoffs, looking away. "Hiroki, doesn't the Earth have another name?"

"The blue planet. Yeah, I know. I was using a little imagination like if there was a Mars attack," He spins around whatever he has on his finger.

"And you, Johnny, do you really think anything can grow on the moon?" She asks next.

"Well, no, but I figured it would be more poetic with plants!"

"Both of you start over and fix it!" She shouts so loud that the models are knocked away from the boys.

"Forget it," Hiroki turns away, patting Johnny's shoulder. "Imagination and poetry are wasted on her."

"Please, send me a miracle to get me out of this," She whispers to herself and as soon as she states this, her phone rings. She picks it up without even looking at the name. "Hello? Yes, Jeremy? An activated tower? Wow, thank you, XANA!"

"Huh?" Jeremy wonders in confusion why she would say that. "What are you talking about?"

"Ah, nothing," She smiles to herself, glad to be away from her annoying little brother. "I'm on my way right now!"

She hangs up and walks right past the boys, running towards the park.


"Some breaking news," The news report is still going on from Jeremy's screen. He had a bad feeling this attack had to do with the comet. "It appears the comet VG724 has broken apart..."

"What is going on around here?" Jeremy murmurs to himself.

"Following a shot from a satellite...uh...uh..." The reporter doesn't really know what to say as this event is hard to describe. "Uh...for reasons yet unknown. Correction! Uh, international observatories have now confirmed that all is well with the comet and it will simply crash on uh...uh, nowhere! As you know, it will pass very far from Earth. And any way, we can always obliterate it with military satellites. Which of course don't exist! This is just a little April Fool joke from our producer! So that's it, farewell, I mean more news later." She chuckles nervously, waving.

"Uno, it's not April," Jeremy narrows his eyes suspiciously. "Dos, something is going haywire. Let's see, orbital observation program. Comet VG724," He quickly does some research.

The Skid is traveling back to Lyoko when Jeremy speaks up. "Aelita, I just figured out XANA's attack. XANA used a satellite to change the course of a comet. It's gonna create a meteor shower that will pour down on Earth!"

"What?! Are you sure?"

"Well actually, according to my calculations, most of the meteor should burn up completely in the atmosphere. On the other hand, there's a huge chunk coming behind it that will crash directly into...oh no! Into the factory! And not just that, but Amy's home as well!"

"Whoa, what?!" Amy asks in alarm, eyes wide. "He's targeting my mom and Jackson too?! No...!"

"Jeremy, you have to get out of the computer lab right now," Aelita urges him.

"I can't do that. If the computer lab gets destroyed, you guys will be stuck in the Digital Sea at XANA's mercy!" He taps his finger against the arm of the chair. "No, we've got to deactivate the tower." It's the only way to stop it.

"Jeremy, please promise me that you'll call my mother and Jackson. Someone has to warn them!" Amy urges her friend in worry.

"Of course I will. What about your fa—Mr. Smith?"

"I...I don't know if you'll be able to contact him. His phone bill expired because he couldn't pay it. I haven't heard from him in months," She looks away sadly.

"Relax, Jeremy and Ames. We'll do it in no time!" Odd's face appears on Amy's screen. "I promise!"

She smiles at him weakly for the assurance.

"Yeah, but that's not gonna stop the meteorite from falling!" Ulrich adds in.

"That's true, and that's why I'm staying here at the control center, to launch a return to the past before we're hit by it," Jeremy closes his eyes in determination. "And someone has to make sure that Amy's family is safe, they have no idea what's going on."

"Okay, full speed ahead," Aelita speeds up the engines and the Skid moves faster.

"You've got a hub barring north west of your position, under the databank shell."

"Got it!" She pulls a lever forward and dives underneath, seeing that they're in the right direction. "Hub dead ahead."

They can see it up ahead as Jeremy is on the phone with Amy's mother. "Um, hello, Ms. Smith? This is Jeremy, we met when you visited Kadic to see Amy?"

"Oh, yes! Jackson's spoken about you. You're that bright young man...but I go by Ms. Johnson now."

"Oh...I'm sorry," He blushes in embarrassment. Of course she'd change her name back.

"It's alright. Why are you calling? Is this regarding Amelia?" The woman's carrying groceries with one arm, walking up to the limo.

"No, she's perfectly fine, ma'am. She's on Lyoko, actually. Um...this is about you. XANA has launched an attack, and...well, a comet has changed course, and it's going to cause a meteor shower. One of the targets is...is your house."

"You're talking about the VG724 comet that they said we didn't have to worry about...aren't you?" She asks knowingly as she comes to a stop.

"Yes, ma'am...you have to get somewhere else. Amy will be fine as long as they deactivate the tower. And I know you're immune to the returns to the past, but...I never really got to ask how is that possible."

"Franz told me about Lyoko long after Amelia was born. He brought me to the lab without Amelia so that I would never forget the danger of XANA. I'm not sure about Jackson, but...I do know that it was because of a supercomputer. Maybe he found one while he was working with this organization...they were looking into Franz, but they stopped when...well. You'll find out soon enough. I have to go prepare shelter. Tell Amelia to stay safe."

"I will?" Jeremy replies slowly, wondering what she was trying to say. And with that, Ms. Johnson hangs up.


Yumi's finally reached the secret entrance when her phone rings and she puts it to her ear. "Jeremy? Yeah, I'm almost there. What?!"

"Yeah, a meteorite, and considering its mass, it'll obliterate not only the factory, but also the entire area, including the academy and Amy's house. The others are on their way back, they'll meet up with you on Lyoko. Yumi, are you there?"

She looks back towards the school. Her brother and Johnny are still there...and they didn't even know she left. If something happens to him while she's on Lyoko, it'll be on her. Annoying as he is, he's still family.

"Hiroki..." She murmurs in worry. "Sorry, Jeremy. I'll be right there, but I uh...I've got something important to do first."

"Yumi, this is not the time. We need you immediately. Yumi?"

She hangs up with him and runs in the opposite direction. "Yumi! I don't believe this, she just hung up on me!"

"Jeremy...the school is in danger, and so is her brother. People have to evacuate," Amy points out softly. "Someone has to help them or people could get hurt."

"That's right..." He murmurs to himself. He forgot that Hiroki is a 6th grader.

The sea suddenly turns red and Amy groans at this. "Oh no...that means something's about to happen, isn't it...?"

The Skid suddenly gets trapped in place, jerking them a bit. "I hate it when I'm right."

Aelita looks around in confusion as the ship starts shaking. "Holy cow, what is that?" Odd whispers to himself. Aelita gasps in realization.

"A firewall. That's got to be a trap from XANA. I'll get us out of it," She pulls up her screen, but it's all bugged up. She presses a button to push through, but the wall pushes them back into place. "It's not working!" She sighs at this. "Jeremy, we've got a problem..."

"I see it, Aelita. I'm already on it," He works as quick as he can to help them.


Yumi reaches the track and approaches the two boys. "Hey, where'd you go? Look, I painted over it with blue. Now look at this awful color," Hiroki holds up a purple and orange model.

"Hiroki," She places a hand on his shoulder. "I want you to go home right now, okay? Take Johnny with you, and I'll...I'll meet you there later."

"What?! But what about Ms. Hertz's class?" He points to the teacher not too far away.

"Hiroki, you heard me!" She tells him firmly.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? You got in a fight with Ulrich again, huh?"

She growls at him and heads for the teachers. "By the way, Suzanne, how's it going with Pedro?" Jim asks her curiously.

"Oh, really Jim, not around the students!" She says in embarrassment. "Oh!"

"Ms. Hertz, we have to evacuate the academy!" Yumi tells the two.

"What are you talking about, Yumi?" The science teacher asks curiously.

"I know this may sound crazy, but a meteorite is going to hit right here where we're standing!" Yumi points to the ground.

"Hold on now, Ishiyama!" Jim starts off as Ms. Hertz raises a brow skeptically. "I told you eating that raw fish was no good for you."

"No, I swear it's true!" Yumi insists to them. "I just found out from the, uh, friend who works at the National Observatory!"

The meteorites are falling towards their locations, the classes looking up. "Hey look, do you see that?" Christophe wonders as the three look in their direction. "Check it out!"

The meteor shower is beginning as Jim looks in awe. "Wow! Great fireworks!"

"Jim...we have to evacuate the academy," Ms. Hertz says in a serious tone. He looks to her in confusion.


The Skid attempts to move past the firewall, to no avail. "The firewall's energy is set up along a fairly basic algorithm. All we have to do is crack it, and we'll be able to slip through a breach security."

"Good idea," Jeremy compliments her. "Hey, I think I finally understand what XANA's really up to."

"Bravo, Einstein!" He rolls his eyes at Odd's voice. "You finally realized that he wants to destroy the supercomputer to keep us from coming in and pulling the virtual carpet out from under him?"

"And it only took us more than a year to figure that out," Amy rolls her eyes.

"Well, obviously," Jeremy taps a key. "But this time he picked the most perfect moment."

"Of course! By destroying the supercomputer, XANA will not only destroy Lyoko, but more importantly, our only way back into the real world," Aelita deduces, but something still wasn't right. "But why would he want to trap us here?"

"To get a hold of you and Amy, Aelita. You're the ones XANA has wanted to capture since we recreated Lyoko. It's called killing two birds with one stone, or in this case, three!"


"Come now, Suzanne, this is ridiculous!" Mr. Delmas states once he's been told of the news. "Are you absolutely sure it couldn't have been from something else? Fireworks, for example?"

Ms. Hertz firmly shakes her head. "That's what I keep telling her, but I think she overdid it with the mint tea."

"I know what I saw, Jean-Pierre!" Ms. Hertz pushes up her glasses. "It was a meteor shower. We have to get the students to safety now!"

"Hmm," He looks towards all the students. If he dismissed a teacher's concern, someone could get hurt... "Fine. As a precaution, I'm willing to go ahead and evacuate the academy, but I don't want any panic!"

Jim smiles widely, Yumi giving a thumbs up.


The meteor shower continues as the Skid presses against the firewall. "Got it! I found a weak link in the algorithm. It's as plain as day! The system overcompensates pressure, but it takes three milliseconds to reverse its polarity!"

"Of course, by synchronizing the initial pressure, you can neutralize the sinusoidal distortion, Aelita!" Jeremy smiles happily.

"Translation?" Odd asks, because he didn't know what any of that meant.

"Rubberband system. Hang on!" She presses some buttons and reverses the Skid as far back as she can. "Standby for stopping the turbopop. Ready? And now!" She slams a button, and then the Skid bursts out of the firewall, the entire thing shaking. They close their eyes, bracing themselves.

"Nice one, Aelita! Now hurry and get over to the hub. We need you back in Lyoko ASAP!"

"You guys did it!" Amy cheers, clapping a little. Aelita snaps out of it.

"Roger," The sea turns blue as they head for Lyoko. "Everyone okay?"

"My breakfast wants to come back up to say hello, but otherwise, all is well!" Odd holds his stomach.

"They're never gonna get there in time!" Jeremy rubs his chin in thought. "Unless I...yeah!" He snaps his fingers, "If only I can manage to regain control of that satellite, even for a minute, I just might get the meteorite to change its course again! Let's see...Defense Department...top-secret data...password. Piece of cake."

Johnny is adjusting the moon while Hiroki is trying to paint over the Earth model, to no avail... "Okay, fire drill, everybody!" Jim announces to everyone with the bullhorn. "I want all of you to make your way calmly to the main gate."

They walk away complaining, but are nonetheless unaware of what's going on.

"Hub in sight," Aelita reports to everyone. "30 seconds to dive."

"Bingo!" Jeremy exclaims once a screen pops up. "Well...now I'm just gonna need a transmission relay to link up to the satellite."

The two boys walk past Yumi, who is silently relieved that they're safe. They may annoy her, but she didn't want to put them in real danger. Her phone rings and she answers it.

"Jeremy? Yes, I'm still at school. I'm really sorry, but I had to-"

"Don't worry, Yumi," He says in understanding. "Plan B time. In fact, I'm glad you haven't left school yet."

"Your laptop? Okay, I'll go to your room and get it. Then what? Uh, okay," She hangs up and runs to the dorms, which Johnny happens to notice.

"Hey, where's your sister going?"

"Only one way to find out..." The two boys look at the group, following after Yumi instead.

The Skid lands at the hub. "Do you read me, Aelita? I'm entering the coordinates for Lyoko."

The ship moves to its vertical position. "Stand by for broadband acceleration in 3...2...1, zero!" They disappear through the portal.

Meteors are still falling. "Take cover!" Jim falls onto the ground due to the shake. The students look in confusion and he stands up, chuckling nervously. He looks at his bullhorn, only to see that the stick has broken off, leaving the rest on the grass.

"Slow down, calm down right now!" Jim orders the class.

Yumi runs into Jeremy's room and gets the laptop. "Jeremy, we're good. I just picked up your laptop."

"Head to the roof of the science building and hook it to the antenna," He tells her. She runs down the hall.

"I'm on it!"

"And hurry up!"

She heads down the stairs, unaware that the two boys have opened the doors behind her. They sprint down the steps after the girl.

The Skid arrives back in Lyoko in the desert sector. "Okay Jeremy, we're back on Lyoko. Where's the activated tower?"

"Desert sector. Quandrum 57:42."

"Roger," She nods a bit, moving the ship to the tower. "There it is."

Yumi runs up the stairs of the science building, the boys running after her. She tugs at the locked door to the roof. She tries to kick it open, but it doesn't budge. "Oh no...!" She kicks the door, elbows it, and even hits it with her elbow.

"Security door versus Yumi's ankle," Hiroki speaks up, getting her attention. "I'll bet on the door."

"What do you two think you're doing here?!" She demands to them, her hair a bit messy from all the struggle.

The Skid comes to a stop next to the tower. "Here we go. Teleport," Aelita taps the buttons and they land underneath the ship. Ulrich looks up ahead to see the entrance, which is of course guarded by Kanklerlots.

"The tower is only 50 meters away. How much time do we have, Jeremy?" Ulrich asks as the other three see the monsters.

"Enough. If you can get rid of your welcoming committee."

"Oh, we will," Amy creates flames on her hands. The Kankerlot suddenly turns around and runs, confusing her.

"He ran away. So why waste a laser arrow on a coward? Go on, buddy, he's all yours," Odd replies to Ulrich. They take off into a run, then come to a stop.

"I think we know why he ran off now..." Amy sighs a little as Tarantulas appear. Ulrich pulls out his swords. And then William arrives, his sword forming into his hand out of smoke. He slowly shakes his head at them, slamming the platform with his weapon.

"All of a sudden, that tower seems a lot further away!" Odd comments at the army. This wouldn't be easy: Tarantulas are probably the most strongest monsters from XANA...


"Maybe you should just tell us what you think you're doing," Hiroki and Johnny walk up the stairs.

"I haven't got time for you brats, go back outside!" She yells, trying again to get the door open. The two look smug.

"We know how to open it."

"Shut up, Hiroki!" She retorts, expecting a joke. "I'm sick of hearing your lies!"

"But it's true, we can open any door," Hiroki insists, Johnny nodding to Yumi.

"Well, if you think you're so good, then be my guest!" She rolls her eyes, stepping away from the door.

"Okay, but first you gotta tell us what you're up to," Hiroki points up to her. She groans in annoyance at the two boys. She really needed to get that door open, which is why she's giving them the benefit of the doubt. But she can't obviously tell them about Lyoko.

"Oh, what have I got to lose? A meteorite is going to crash on the school, and if I don't connect this computer to the roof antenna now, then Jeremy won't be able to access the satellite that might change its course! Understand?!"

"A meteorite?" Hiroki asks skeptically. "Not bad...now tell us what's really going on."

A meteor flies right past the science building, sending all three onto the ground. "Okay, okay, let's go, Johnny," Hiroki definitely believes her now as he picks the lock.

"Incredible!" Yumi is slightly impressed and Hiroki smiles as he opens the door.


The four hiding behind a wall of rocks, the Tarantulas firing at them. Ulrich runs up to them. "Super sprint!" He speeds up and leaps into the air, only to get hit. Odd and Amy both cringe as he lands nearby.

"Ouch. Good luck coming back from that one," She peeks between a small hole to see William smirking with his arms crossed. She grits her teeth at his look, Odd stepping forward to fire at the Tarantulas.

"Laser arrow!" He fires, but misses as Ulrich gets back onto his feet.

"It's hot!"

"Yeah well, this is the desert," Odd tells him.

"It doesn't look good. We'll never get through," Aelita looks at the two.

"Not unless we have a plan," Amy stands up, nodding towards Odd.

"You should never say never!" He points out with a smile.


Yumi finally gets onto the roof, on the phone with Jeremy. "Okay, Jeremy, I'm on the roof. Now what do I do?"

"Listen, try to find the antenna cable."

She looks up and sees it dangling into the air. She jumps up and grabs onto it. "Got it."

"Great. Now cut as cleanly as you can and stick it into the blue plug that's in the back of my laptop. Push as hard as you can. We can't strip the wire, there's not enough time. It should work," He instructs her, but there's just one problem.

"Great! What am I gonna do without a knife?"

Johnny walks up to her and pulls out a swiss army knife. She stares at him in shock.


The Tarantulas continue their attack towards the rocks. Aelita fires an energy field, destroying one. "Nice one, princess!" Odd congratulates, failing to see a Kankerlot behind him.

"Guys, watch out!" Amy pushes them out of the way, getting hit in the stomach.

"Hey!" Odd points his arm towards it, but Ulrich destroys the monster with his sword. "A coward and a cheater? Hey!"

"It's gotta change tactics," Ulrich explains to him.

"Yeah, but I had that," Odd helps Amy stand up. "You okay, Ames?"

"I'll live," She breathes in relief, William running up towards them.

"Okay Jeremy, it's in!" Yumi reports to him.

"Great job," He closes his eyes, hovering his fingers over the keyboard. "Now let the duel begin..."

Yumi watches from his laptop, a spark occurring from the antenna. They look towards the cables to another building as the satellite dish connects to a satellite in space. A screen pops up, but all of the text is red.

"How did that rat XANA get onto me? How's it going over there, Ulrich?"

"Not so good," Ulrich states as they're running away from the tower. The Tarantulas circle around, William chasing after the four. They eventually get cornered at a platform that leads to the Digital Sea. "Stay behind us, Aelita! If you get devirtualized, we'll never be able to deactivate the tower!"

The monsters fire, Ulrich dodging them by flinging his swords back and forth. Two orange shields appear on Amy's hands, which she uses to deflect the lasers away from them.

"How can anyone be such a bad shot?" Odd backflips over them, getting hit himself and landing on the floor.

"Odd!" The girls exclaim, bending down to him.

"Are you okay?" Amy asks softly, Aelita looking up at the Tarantula. It changes targets and fires at Ulrich instead. The fairy helps up Odd slowly, Ulrich stepping in front of the three.

"The Tarantulas haven't fired at me even once," Aelita couldn't help but notice.

"That's because...you've got a couple of great bodyguards," Odd tells her, but she feels as if there's something else behind it all...

"No, I don't think that's it," Amy states, shaking her head as she looks at the monsters.

The comet is in sight in the sky, which Jeremy notices. "Too late..."

Yumi cringes as she can see it as well. She gasps at the boys. "Get going you two, hurry up!"

Hiroki turns around to his sister. "What about you?"

"I can't let go of the cable! Beat it!" She shouts to the two.

Ms. Johnson and Jackson see the meteors heading towards the house, both of their mouths opening in shock.

"I'll never make it. XANA is a flawless program, and I'm only human..." Jeremy says without a inch of hope in his voice.

"This time, it's all over!" Ulrich exclaims as they back up.

"No, it can't end this way!" Amy shouts in horror.

"No Ulrich," Aelita shakes her head, swiping her hand over her bracelet. She takes flight and Amy smiles, following after her.

"What are you doing?" Ulrich asks as they land in front of the boys.

"We're forcing XANA to make a choice," She glares at William.

"It's either us...or Earth, William," Amy spits at the possessed boy.

He steps up to the two. "Hurry Odd," Aelita turns around. "Devirtualize me."

"Huh?! What, are you crazy?" He exclaims in shock.

"Do what I say. Amy, you stay here and deactivate the tower."

"But why? What are you gonna do off Lyoko?" Amy wonders, but gets no answer as William gets closer. Odd looks to her and Ulrich, unsure what devirtualizing Aelita was going to do in terms of the meteor shower.

"Odd...Aelita's right. It's our only hope."

He braces himself and hits Aelita, and she devirtualizes in front of William. He comes to a stop right in front of the fairy, jumping towards the Digital Sea. "What was that all about?"

"No idea."

Aelita appears in the scanner room, still feeling the effects of the laser arrow. She walks back to the elevator.

Hiroki and Johnny look up in fear, Yumi hugging them close.

Aelita arrives in the lab. "To win, sometimes you have to know how to lose," She states to Jeremy.

"You think XANA understands that?" Jeremy wonders as she places a hand on his shoulder. She doesn't answer, rubbing her chin. All of this falls on hope...

The sun rises, the comet heading right in their direction. Yumi sheds a tear, but the satellite underneath XANA's control fires a laser at the comet. This simply turns into another meteor shower, which fall into the lake at the factory. Little shards fall from the sky at the school and at Ms. Johnson's home.

"Hey...wow, we're saved!"

Yumi takes a hold of her phone. "Great shot, Jeremy. Real bullseye!"

"It wasn't me. That was XANA. Looks like he gave up on his plan."

The tower is still activated as the monsters disappear into thin air. "Well...here goes nothing," Amy murmurs as she stares at the tower. Before she could rethink about what she's doing, she's running towards the tower.

"It's lot less worry when we have two people who can deactivate towers," Ulrich comments to Odd, who nods in agreement. The two follow after her and once she reaches the tower, she steps inside.

Amy walks up to the middle and stops. She flies towards the top, doing a flip before she lands on the upper platform. The interface appears and she slowly presses her hand to it.

Amelia

Code

The tower deactivates, to everyone's relief. "It worked again!" Aelita smiles towards the screen.

Amy steps out of the tower, earning a big hug from Odd. She laughs at the contact, Ulrich smiling in amusement.

"I can't believe I did it again," She looks at her hand, smiling proudly. She's definitely evolved ever since she met her friends...

The meteor shower ends, the three in relief. "Well Yumi, don't the brats get a thank you?" Hiroki asks as she stands behind them. She places her hands on their shoulders, bending down to them.

"Thank you, brats," She kisses Hiroki on the cheek.

"Yuck!" He rubs it off in disgust. She gives Johnny a kiss on the cheek too. He grins widely with two thumbs up.

"You guys really helped me a lot this time."

"Yeah, I'm not gonna let you forget that either," Hiroki smiles in amusement.

"Oh, give me a little break, huh?" She asks and he raises a brow. She claps her hands, signaling to Jeremy to launch a return in time.

"Return to the past now."

Everything is reset, and Yumi meets her friends back in Jeremy's room. "So, how was your day?" Jeremy asks her.

"You won't believe it. We got the highest grade! And so, I promised Johnny I would keep his moon as a present. I owe him at least that, even if he doesn't remember anything," Yumi throws up the moon in the air, catching it.

"See? Your brother's not that bad after all," Aelita points out.

"Yeah, he can be pretty handy when he wants to," Yumi looks away for a second in thought. "That's why I'm worried."

"Yeah, how come?" Ulrich wonders curiously. Yumi closes the door behind her.

"Because now, I know it's useless keeping the door locked to my room."

Amy giggles at this.
