Odd opens the door to his locker in the locker room. "Odd, hurry up," Ulrich leans against the door. Odd has a picture of Kiwi on the back door, as well as a picture of himself and Amy.
"Okay, I'm coming," He states, putting on his sneakers.
"You're not wearing socks to get a better feel for the track?" Jeremy asks curiously.
"No, I forgot to put 'em on. Man am I gonna have blisters," He lifts up a foot.
"The way you sweat, you'll probably have to chuck your sneakers," Ulrich comments in amusement. Kiwi suddenly walks into the room holding socks in Odd's mouth.
"Hm? Nice one, Kiwi! Did you see that? Kiwi opened the door to our room and then he managed to find me all the way on the other side of the campus!" Odd exclaims, Jeremy cringing a bit.
"He followed the smell of your feet easy," Ulrich shrugs towards this.
"Ha ha, very funny! Your jokes stink worse than my feet!"
"On your marks, get set, go!" Jim starts the stopwatch, students running off. The boys walk into the field, Sissi turning around to them.
"Yoohoo, Ulrich!" She waves to him. "Hey, how do I look?" She flips her hair behind her.
"I'm not sure you really wanna know," He remarks as they walk past her. She raises a brow, annoyed. The three reach Yumi and William 2 as most of them are stretching. "Hey Yumi!" He gives her a thumbs up and she smiles.
"Go!"
They all take off except William 2. Yumi picks up speed and takes the lead. Jim looks at his stopwatch as Yumi finishes first, cheering. "Very good time," The gym teacher congratulates them, then seeing William 2 just standing there. "Dunbar! When I say go, it means go! Two letter words aren't that hard, are they? Either his ears need washing or he's totally out of it."
Sissi eyes him closely. "You look completely lost, William. How come?"
"...I'm not lost, we're at the track, right?" He asks after a few seconds. She raises a brow in confusion.
"Uh oh, trouble at 12 o'clock!" Odd comments as they look on.
"You're off your rocker. You wanna go talk to the nurse at the infirmary!"
"It's nothing serious," Yumi places a hand on William 2's shoulder. "He's a little out of sync because he's, uh, he's in love!" She hugs him.
"Wait a second, are you trying to say that you and William are-?!"
"They say that love is like uh...getting drunk! William doesn't drink of course, he's just-"
"Just a complete half-wit, right?!" Sissi points to her head. Jim blows the whistle.
"10th graders, that's it for today! 9th graders, get on your mark, move it!" Jim spins the whistle around.
"I think something weird is going on!" Sissi narrows her eyes suspiciously. Amy finally arrives from the locker room, looking a little down.
"Ames?" Odd stares at her. "What's wrong?"
"Not now; I'll explain at lunchtime."
"That was a close call with Sissi today," Yumi points out at lunch.
"I don't think she bought the love story between you and William," Aelita tells her.
"Can't we upgrade the quality of William's clone?" Ulrich raises a brow at Jeremy, and by the look of the genius' face, it doesn't seem likely.
"Sorry, like I said, his stupidity is an unforeseen emerging factor beyond our control. To fix it, I'd have to reprogram everything! We're just gonna have to keep improvising," Jeremy explains to them.
"If we can! Sissi's getting very suspicious. Think of what'll happen if she tells her father about William!" Yumi speaks up.
"Well in that case, the only solution I can see is to keep pretending you're in love."
"What?!" Yumi exclaims in shock.
"Yeah!" Aelita agrees with her, Ulrich choking on his food. "Perfect! If you're always hanging out together, then no one can get near him!"
"You've got a very vital mission, you've gotta keep our secret!" Odd tells her, to her dismay. She doesn't like it, but she doesn't have much of a choice. When Sissi gets suspicious, she gets snoopy, and then she makes trouble with what she knows.
"Anyway, I did improve the security program for the tower that runs William's clone," Jeremy pushes up his glasses. "Aelita, how would you like to go to Lyoko to install it after class? And just in case something happens, Amy has to go too for back-up."
"Mm," She plays with her salad.
"No problem," Aelita smiles a little. "Who's going with us?"
"Do all of us have to go?" Ulrich looks to Jeremy.
"Just one of you will be enough to keep an eye on things with the girls," Jeremy states, Odd raising a finger.
"I volunteer! And I also happen to have a fantastic idea!"
"Uh oh..." Ulrich murmurs, noticing the smile from Odd's face.
"Why don't we take Kiwi to Lyoko this time?"
"Your brainless dog? But what for?" Jeremy asks him.
"Uh, first of all, my dog is not brainless. Secondly, our natural talents are multiplied on Lyoko. Imagine Kiwi and his sense of smell. He could sniff out monsters from miles away, and he might even be able to sniff out William on the network!" Odd defends, Jeremy smiling in amusement.
"No way, Odd! Besides, Kiwi's such a coward, he'd take off the second he saw a Kankerlot!"
"Oh yeah? As fast as you did the time you went to Lyoko?" Odd smirks, earning laughter and an annoyed Jeremy.
"Amy, what's on your mind?" Aelita turns to her sister. "You've been pretty quiet all morning."
"It's not Mr. Smith again, is it?" Yumi rolls her eyes.
"No, not him...Guys, Kiki's been weird. She lost her appetite for about 2 weeks, she's been agitated, she's been lazy..." Amy frowns in worry. "She's also been more affectionate lately too..."
"And she's been a bit on the bigger side, if you know what I mean," Ulrich crosses his arms, earning a glare from Amy.
"Have you been to the vet?" Odd stares at her.
"She refuses to go, so I didn't take her," Amy sighs a little. "Believe me, I tried everything, but it was like she could sense that we were going. She'd bark like crazy, and I couldn't have Jim find her!"
"Should we check on her?" Yumi turns to the others.
"It might be that she's sick," Aelita stands up, the others following after her.
Amy peeks into the door, seeing nothing. She steps in, the five stepping into the room. She bends down to the drawer.
"Kiki? You feeling okay? Our friends wanna check up on you."
She slowly opens it, her mouth dropping open at the sight. She couldn't believe what she's seeing. The girl clears her throat, scratching the side of her head nervously.
"Umm...guys, I think you need to see this."
They gather around, gasping to see three puppies at Kiki's waist!
"So...the whole time..." Jeremy speaks slowly.
"We were becoming grandparents!" Odd hugs Amy, who's still in shock.
"They're adorable!" Aelita smiles, picking up a grey one that almost looks like Kiwi. Just by quick glance, the two dog owners can tell that it's two girls and one boy.
"How are we gonna hide three puppies when two dogs were already enough?" Amy looks up at Odd.
"We just have to puppy-proof our rooms so that they don't get out! But we need to give them names too!"
Kiwi and Kiki bark in agreement, wagging their tails.
"We'll name them Lichi, Pepper, and...Ames, you pick a name. Name this one," He picks up the female grey one with a black spot mark over its left eye.
"Umm...BonBon, I guess. After my favorite chocolate," She rubs her chin.
"They may be cute, but they also peed all over your drawer," Ulrich looks at them with his hands in his pockets. Amy lifts up the blanket slightly and gags.
"She gave birth all over it...ugh!" She covers her mouth and drops it into the trash in disgust. Amy gags into her palm as she stands up and walks away. "I need to unsee that..."
"We can keep 'em in my room until...this is clean," Odd sticks out a tongue at the drawer.
The four run across the bridge, Jeremy grabbing the rope. Aelita and Amy jump just as the dog family bark from Odd's bag.
"Shh, quiet!"
He slides down last. "What happened in here?" Jeremy wonders as there's skid marks all over the floor.
"Looks like some bikers used our factory for training."
"Anyway, they don't seem to be here anymore..." Aelita points out.
"I wonder what could've happened, though..." Amy looks around the room.
Sissi looks down the hall in the dorms. "Coast is clear." She runs to her left and opens the door to see William 2 inside. He opens up his eyes. "Hey William, we've gotta talk! This thing with you and Yumi is baloney, right? Everyone knows she's mad about Ulrich, who's mad about me!"
"Who, Ulrich Stern?" He sits up, confusing her. "He's a nice guy, I like him a lot."
"You think that Ulrich Stern is a nice guy?" She rubs her chin. "Then you are not well at all. There are some weirdo things that have been going on that I think my father oughta know about."
"Hey Sissi, what are you doing in my boyfriend's room?" Yumi demands as she's just arrived.
"Don't think you can snow me, Yumi!" Sissi accuses her. "What has your gang done to William?!"
"Nothing at all. You're imagining things," She bends down to hug his arm. "And now if you don't mind, we're gonna take a little walk down Lovers Lane."
"Great guy, Ulrich!" William 2 smiles as she leads him away. Sissi looks at them, knowing that she's not crazy.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready to go," Aelita reports from the scanner room.
"Odd, are you ready?"
"Hang on, don't rush me, huh?" Odd exclaims, looking at his bag.
"What's that in your bag?" Amy raises a brow suspiciously, hands on her hips.
"Um, nothing, sweetheart!" He pecks her lips and guides her into the scanner. "I love you!"
"Odd, wait-!" She exclaims as the doors close in front of her.
"Okay, ready to go, Einstein."
"Odd, is that you making that racket?" Jeremy wonders as he can hear rustling.
"Uh, yeah. My tummy's rumbling!" Odd has all five dogs underneath his shirt, which is getting a bit difficult to contain. "Would you believe it, Einstein? I'm still hungry!"
"Don't worry, this won't take very long."
"Once you're all on Lyoko, you're gonna be a big star!" Odd whispers to the five dogs.
"Transfer Aelita. Transfer Amy. Transfer Odd. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Amy. Scanner Odd. Virtualization!"
Odd cringes, unsure if this was the best idea...
They land in the desert sector, though only the girls appear first. Odd lands a few seconds later with no dogs nearby. "The tower you want is just behind you."
Odd gets onto his feet, looking towards the sky. "Expecting someone?" Aelita teases him.
"Get ready for a big surprise, princess and Ames!" He points to the sky, but nothing happens.
"What exactly are we waiting for?" Amy whispers to Aelita, who stares at him.
"Well, what is it?"
"Hm?" He's confused as no dogs arrive, rubbing the back of his neck. "Nothing, I was just kidding." He starts to walk off, the two just shrugging it off.
"Head for the tower, Aelita."
"I'm on my way," She runs into the tower.
"We'll stand guard here, kay?" Odd points to the ground even though she's already inside. She runs up to the interface and starts interacting with it.
"I'm starting the installation process, Jeremy."
Odd starts hitting his ear with his hand, Amy staring at him. "I hope I didn't mess up!"
"What are you talking about?" She looks at her boyfriend in confusion.
Yumi and William 2 are running across campus. "Where are we going?"
"Never mind, just keep running!" She exclaims, Sissi peeking at them behind a pillar. She chases after them, determined to find out what they're up to.
Odd sits on a rock, looking a little disturbed. Something seems to be bothering him. "Jeremy, I hear some kind of noise."
"Hang on. You're right. Two Tarantulas just appeared. For now, they're at the other end of the sector. I'm sending you the Overboard and the OverRunner just in case."
Amy blinks at her boyfriend. "You could hear that all the way from here? Wow!"
He jumps onto his board as she backflips into the air, landing in her racecar. Odd wobbles a bit for some reason, the fairy staring up at him. She's more baffled than ever; since when does Odd do that? He's usually in control of his vehicle.
"Knock it off, Odd! The Tarantulas are far away, but still!"
"I-I can't seem to keep my balance! What's wrong with me?" He flies out of control and then falls off his vehicle. Amy gasps and revs up the car. He lands safely behind the girl.
"Odd, what is going on with you?" She turns to look at him.
"I-I don't know!" He looks at himself.
Aelita steps out of the tower. "Okay Jeremy, the program's operational. Where'd Odd and Amy go?" She looks around for the couple.
"He's busy clowning around somewhere." Odd stands up and immediately falls, unable to get up.
"Odd!" Amy shouts in alarm, getting out of the OverRunner and bending down to him.
"Now that you're done, I'll bring you all in. Materialization."
The scanners open and the girls jump out, Odd lifting up his shirt. "What's going on around here?"
"I was hoping you could tell me!" Amy exclaims in front of him. "What was that back on Lyoko?"
He falls out of the scanner and on top of Amy. She blushes and narrows her eyes. "What are you hiding?"
"Having trouble standing up?" Aelita wonders as he gets off the brunette.
"There's no way I could've been...oh no!"
"Is something wrong?" Jeremy asks curiously.
"No biggie, Jeremy," Aelita steps up to the boy, the girls helping him up. "Odd just missed his snack time, and it doesn't seem to agree with him!"
"Is that why you fainted on Lyoko? Because you were being dramatic?" Amy smacks him on the arm lightly. "You scared the heck out of me, you know that? God," She walks towards the elevator in disbelief.
Yumi and William 2 run down the steps, Sissi looking over the edge. "What a pest that Sissi is!" She mutters under her breath.
Jeremy opens up the manhole cover to get a phone call. He stands up and answers his phone. "Yes Yumi?"
"I'm with William, and I can't get rid of Sissi! And I've got to go home right now!" The Japanese girl tells him.
"Just bring him back to school and we'll take over," Jeremy explains to his friend.
"Okay. Come on, Romeo, we're going home," She hangs up with the genius.
"Is Romeo a nice guy too? I don't think I know him."
"Let's go, I'll explain on the way," She chuckles a bit as they walk away. But in reality, she really wasn't.
The four walk up to Jim, who's pacing around. "Is something the matter, Jim?" Jeremy asks in slight concern.
"Uh, yeah. Something serious! I spent the last hour looking for my watch. It must have fallen off after Phys Ed!"
Odd sniffs around, confusing them. "Della Robbia? Have you gone mad?"
He sniffs behind a tree, crawling on all fours. Amy blinks slowly at the sight, Aelita raising a brow towards Jeremy. Odd holds up the watch in his hand.
"Uhh, is this it, Jim?"
Jeremy opens the door to Odd and Ulrich's room. The brunet boy is reading a magazine from his bed. "Everything go alright?"
"Yeah, no sweat," Jeremy replies as they walk in. Odd sniffs his bed.
"Except that Odd's acting really weird," Aelita looks over her shoulder to Ulrich.
"You mean you only just noticed?" Ulrich replies sarcastically. Odd jumps off his bed, throwing Kiwi's dog bowl onto the floor and licking it, disgusting them.
"Odd, I know you'll eat anything when you're hungry, but that's ridiculous!" Ulrich comments to them.
"Wait...where are BonBon, Lichi, and Pepper?" Amy peeks into Odd's drawer. "They were supposed to be right here!"
"Ugh, come on, Odd. Get real! What's wrong with you?" Jeremy snatches away the bowl.
"Huh? Oh no, this is getting worse and worse! I don't believe this." He starts to unzip his pants.
"Oh my god, you're not!" Amy immediately covers her eyes, looking away. Aelita shouts in alarm, covering her eyes as well.
"Argh, Odd, stop!" Ulrich calls out.
"Cut that out!" Jeremy hides his face behind his laptop.
"It's, well, I-I got this thing in my backside, I think...I-I think...I think I'm growing a tail..."
They all cringe at his statement. "I don't need to see it, nope," Amy covers an eye, looking away. "We'll take your word for it, just zip up your pants! Just keep. Your pants. On!"
Yumi and William 2 run back into the school when her phone rings. "Yumi, you've gotta hang out with William's clone a little longer. We've got...a slight problem," She glances to Odd, who's sniffing and licking Amy's cheek. "Here's Jeremy."
"Odd, gross, stop," Amy tries to push him away.
"Talk to Yumi," Aelita holds out her phone to the blond genius.
"Yumi, according to my diagnosis, Odd absorbed the whole Kiwi family during virtualization!"
"Is it serious, doctor?" She asks in concern.
"Pretty much. Right now, his human metabolism is still dominant. But if we don't do something fast, it'll be too late!"
Amy tends to Odd on all fours. She'll have time to be angry later with him, but right now, his mental state takes priority.
"Think we can use the scanners to separate them again?" Aelita looks up at him.
"I think we can. We have to send him—uh, them, back to Lyoko."
"Better count me out, I've still got that leech on my tail," Yumi glares towards Sissi. Doesn't she have better things to do than to follow them all day?
"No, I know what to do. As soon as I get to the factory, I'll call you back."
"Yeah, okay," She hangs up, Odd sniffing Amy.
"Even as a dog, he still loves you. That's cute," Aelita smiles a bit. "Or rather, five dogs in one body."
"Come on, we've wasted enough time. Let's go," Jeremy stands up, running towards the door.
"What? But can't we eat before we go?" Odd calls out.
"Wanna eat dog food all your life?" Ulrich chuckles lightly, earning a bark from Odd. Amy covers her mouth in shock at the sound.
"We can eat later, let's go."
"No! I want food!" He protests, barking again and she rolls her eyes. A smirk appears on her lips as she gets an idea. She holds up a chocolate bar, waving it in front of him.
"Does the good boy want a treat?"
He nods rapidly, sticking his tongue out while kneeling. "Come on, boy. Follow me. That's a good boy," Amy backs away, coaxing him with the chocolate bar. "God, this is weird. Let's hope that we can get this done sooner than later."
They skate down the sewers, Odd running on all fours. Judging by his performance with the Overboard, he wouldn't be able to balance himself on a skateboard.
"Don't look back, there's a stray dog following us," Ulrich teases as Amy is still in front of Odd with the candy bar in hand.
"If you don't wanna get bitten in the leg, Ulrich, shut up!" Odd calls out.
"You threatened to do the same thing when you were Kiwi, after all," Amy looks up at the boy.
"Yeah, but I didn't absorb two dogs and three puppies in my body!"
She rolls her eyes, but there's a problem when they reach the bridge. "Rats! Just what we needed right now."
In front of the entrance is a trio of bikers. Odd glares at them as Ulrich stands next to him.
"You know those guys?"
"Uninvited visitors who used the factory for a practice track," Jeremy gets onto their feet. The five walk up to the bikers.
"What are you kids doing here? Beat it right now!"
"Let me handle 'em," Jeremy whispers to the others. "Hello gentlemen, we just wanted to go in, that's all."
"We didn't see your names on the door, so get going," One of them crosses his arms.
"Don't waste your energy, they've got motor oil for brains. I'll take care of this," Ulrich pushes past Jeremy, Aelita looking on in fear. Amy stands in front of her protectively.
"Is that a kung-fu flip, you shrimp? Buzz off. But we'll take your friend. We need an alibi if cops show up," He grips Amy's arm, causing her to gasp in alarm. Odd growls at this and jumps onto the man, tackling him onto the ground.
"He's mean, you better be careful. He'll bite you," Jeremy warns them.
"Hey Rocky, what's wrong with them?"
Odd jumps past them and they run away screaming. They run through the entrance and slide down the ropes, reaching the elevator.
"What do we do about those guys?" Ulrich asks once they're inside. Jeremy pushes the button.
"We'll worry about them later. Right now, we gotta take care of Odd."
"Thank you for saving me, Odd," Amy murmurs gratefully, rubbing her wrist.
"Of course! I couldn't let my favorite girl become biker bait!"
She giggles, kissing his cheek. The bikers watch the elevator descend down, gritting their teeth.
"We're all set, Jeremy," Aelita reports once they're in the scanner room.
"Odd, I'm gonna virtualize you as you are onto Lyoko. Then I'll restore each of your two DNA sequences which should then return to their original molecular state."
"What was that?" Odd asks in confusion.
"You, dog man, go to Lyoko. He unscrambles you and dogs' DNA. You and dogs come back separated in the scanner," Ulrich explains to him.
"You're very clever," Aelita gives him a thumbs up.
"Oh, speaking about the DNA scrambling..." Amy steps forward and slaps Odd across the face.
"Ouch!"
"Don't you ever lie to me and try to sneak my dog onto Lyoko again, Odd Della Robbia!" She warns him, pointing an angry finger. Odd actually whimpers like a dog, looking at her pleadingly for forgiveness. She just steps away from him as he gives her puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry, Ames, you know I love you and your little dog!"
She sighs a bit as she looks away. "Well...you did save my life, so I guess I can forgive you quickly," Amy crosses her arms with a small pout. "But promise me you won't do it again."
"I won't, I promise!" He smiles at his girlfriend.
"Virtualization," Odd lands in the mountain sector in front of a way tower, barking.
"It's like I've got the hiccups. This—ruff—gonna take long, Einstein?"
"Uh, I can't tell you in dog years. It's pretty complicated, so don't stress me, okay? And don't go anywhere. If you get devirtualized before I'm finished, it'll be a dog's life for you forever!"
"Thanks, I feel a lot better now." He lets out another bark.
"Are you sure that we can't help?" Ulrich asks as the others are back in the lab.
"Shh, he's gotta concentrate," Aelita whispers...and then an activated tower appears.
"Oh no, an activated tower in the ice sector."
"At least we didn't miss dinner for nothing. Cool!" Ulrich runs off.
"So much for concentration..." Amy murmurs as she runs after the two.
"Odd, XANA just activated a tower in the ice sector. Ulrich and Aelita are handling it. You stay put, and just to be sure, Amy's gonna be with you for help. Understand?"
"Yeah, I get it. Sit, heel, roll over...at least my lovely Ames will be with me to help me cope..." He places a hand on his cheek.
"Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Aelita. Transfer Amy. Virtualization."
The duo appear not too far away from the activated tower...but there are three Tarantulas, one of them having William on top. The two land and see him.
"For XANA!" William declares and the monsters walk forward.
"Nice. The locals came to welcome us. How about a little Overbike action?"
"You got it."
His bike appears and the two jump on. "Be careful." As soon as Aelita is on, he takes off.
"Hey!"
"Relax, I won't run any red lights or anything!"
"Einstein, do you see what I hear?" Odd speaks up.
"Ouch!" Three dots are approaching Odd and Amy. "Three Bloks just showed up. Better hide!"
"Why would they be after you?" Amy can't help but wonder. She wraps her arms around Odd's back and arms, flying him up into the air.
"I'll call Yumi for back-up," Jeremy reports to them.
She's still stuck with William 2 as her phone rings. "Well, it's about time you called! My day's been just thrilling!"
"Major trouble on Lyoko. Better get over here!"
"Mm..." She looks up at Sissi's feet behind a sign. "I get the feeling you forgot about Sissi!"
"No problem. Give me a minute, then double time it over here!" He activates something and Sissi's phone rings.
"That you, Dad?"
"Elizabeth," Jeremy is using the voice synthesizer. "Why aren't you home yet? You should be in your room doing your homework! Do you understand? Now then, hurry on home!"
"But...but...be right there," She hangs up and reluctantly leaves. Yumi raises a surprised brow to see her walking away. She stands up and pumps her fists.
"She's finally out of my hair! Well, you know the way back!" She waves to William 2 and runs off. "Ciao!"
He doesn't respond and just hums.
Ulrich rides up to William, who is riding the Tarantula. He smirks at the duo. "Attack!"
The two Tarantulas stand up, firing at Aelita and Ulrich. He swerves out of the way from the lasers, pulling out his sword. William kneels on top of the Tarantula he's sitting on. Ulrich revs up the Overbike, speeding up...but Aelita gets hit, landing roughly on the ground.
"Aelita!" Ulrich looks over his shoulder.
Aelita slowly looks up at William, who focuses his attention on her instead. Ulrich dodges lasers with his sword, swinging his arm back and forth. He stands on his bike and jumps into the air, throwing his weapon at a Tarantula's head. He destroys it and lands back on his bike, skidding to a stop. He looks around for Aelita and William, only to duck his head from the second Tarantula.
The three Bloks walk towards Odd and Amy, who are hiding behind a rock. He suddenly lets out a bark.
"Oops," He says to Amy's open-mouthed look of disbelief. He covers his own mouth, the Bloks approaching to their spot. He peeks over the rock. "Laser Arrow!" He fires at them and misses. "Oh Kiwi, guys, come on, my front paws aren't just for running and ouch!"
"Go!" Amy pushes him for him to run, flying into the air. She creates a shield around Odd to protect him just in case.
Yumi steps into the elevator, only to find that it doesn't work. She pulls out her phone and calls Jeremy. "Jeremy, why isn't the elevator working?"
"I shut it off because of those three goons. Are they gone?"
"What three goons?" She steps out of the elevator. "There's nobody up here!"
"I'll explain later. No sign of XANA trouble in town?"
"No," She replies as she hadn't seen anything on her way over.
"Good. I'll switch on the elevator right now. See you in a sec!"
She hangs up, only to hear revving. Yumi turns around and sees the three bikers...who have been possessed by XANA. They start up their bikes as Yumi grits her teeth at them. The three ride up towards her.
Ulrich swerves left and right to avoid the lasers. He jumps, the Overbike hitting the Tarantula. He jumps into the air and stabs it in the neck, destroying it. He lands safely as the monster disappears.
"Jeremy, I think I just hit a pedestrian!"
"No time for jokes, Aelita's in a big jam!"
He looks to Aelita being chased by William and the Tarantula. "Attack!" He declares to the monster.
Amy flies away from the Bloks, who fire at them. Odd turns his arm around. "Laser Arrow!" One of them hits Amy's wings, devirtualizing them, but an arrow hits several rocks to destroy a Blok. The shield drops and Odd gets hit in the stomach. Amy lands roughly on the ground.
"Odd, if you get hit just one more time, you're gonna be in the doghouse for good!"
Odd helps Amy onto her feet and they run off in the other direction. "I'd like to see you down here!" Odd calls out while running on all fours.
"Hang in there. The program's almost finished!"
"And where's the back-up, huh?" Amy wonders in annoyance as they land behind a rock.
"Yeah, where is Yumi?"
Yumi runs away from the bikers as fast as she can, seeing a beam up ahead with rope dangling from it. She jumps up and grabs it, climbing onto the second floor. She peeks over the edge as the bikers run by. She starts to crawl, but her phone rings. She cringes as a biker looks up.
"Up there!"
They drive in the opposite direction.
"Thanks Jeremy!" She mutters as she runs off.
The two Bloks approach the rock, Odd sitting next to Amy again. The Blok finally arrives to them, Odd barking as he kneels protectively in front of the fairy. He growls and lands on the Blok, Amy blinking in shock. He fires some arrows and the Blok spins around.
"Quit spinning, will ya?!"
He jumps and lands on the other Blok, jumping again and landing in front of them. They fire for Odd again and Amy backflips onto the path, running after the Bloks.
Aelita is still running from William, coming to a stop. She turns around and clenches her fists.
"No!" Ulrich cries out as he's driving over there with his Overbike. Aelita creates two pink orbs in her hands.
"Energy field!" She fires at it, which is of course blocked. Ulrich looks up as William turns around to see him. He jumps, the Overbike crashing into the Tarantula. It explodes right in front of Aelita as Ulrich lands on the ground.
"Ulrich!" Aelita points behind him and he turns around, only to get devirtualized by William.
"No!"
William smirks at Aelita evilly.
Ulrich lands on the ground of the scanner room. "Ulrich, Yumi's not answering. Something's not right," Jeremy explains in worry.
"Okay, I'm on it."
Yumi is still running from the bikers, ending up in the machine room. She jumps over a conveyor belt, a biker sliding to a stop near her. She crawls underneath the conveyor belt, looking to her left to see the other two approaching. The Japanese girl picks up some rope and holds it up in front of them. The two crash onto the floor, the leader firing electricity at a machine from above.
Yumi moves out of the way, jumping off his shoulders and landing at the stairs. She takes off, but he fires at her back, knocking her down.
"Odd, Amy, we've got it. I've reconstructed your separate DNA sequences. Now I just have to load it into the scanner's memory. It's done. Three seconds and you're back to normal. All you have to do is devirtualize yourself."
Odd looks at the two Bloks approaching as he sighs in relief. "Whew! It's about time. My paws are really killing me. And these guys won't let sleeping dogs lie!" He slowly gets onto his feet. "Don't miss me, guys. I can't wait to be my old self again."
But then...
"Oh no! Odd, get out of there!"
"Huh?" He looks up in confusion.
"But why?" Amy wonders and Odd stops the lasers with his shield.
"Shield!" He destroys the Bloks with their own lasers. "Hey, any more surprises on the way?" He scratches his ear with his foot.
"Sorry, I didn't delete the old DNA data from the memory. If I did, it would've bugged. Relax, we'll be back online in two wags of a dog's tail!"
"Ugh, don't ever say that again," Amy groans at this.
"I should hope so, Einstein! How are the others doing?"
"Things could be better. No news of Yumi and Aelita's alone fighting William and his pals."
"What?!" Amy's eyes widen in concern for her little sister.
"Everything's falling apart and you want us to hang out here scratching fleas?" He takes off in the direction of a way tower.
"Odd, I'm not done yet! It's too dangerous! Do you hear me, Odd?" Jeremy sighs as they don't listen. "You're about as obedient as Kiwi!"
"Hey, my sister is in trouble!" Amy protests to him. "I need all the help I can get!"
Yumi pants as she reaches the filing room, leaning against the door in exhaustion.
The bikers are running in her direction as she steps inside. She opens up the door and closes it behind her. She pulls a large cabinet over to the door, blocking them from coming in. She walks off as the leader tries to ram through the door. Yumi pants a little while hiding, the leader blasting through the door.
Ulrich arrives on the main floor, sliding into the room. He runs off to go find Yumi.
Odd and Amy appear in the ice sector, sliding to a stop. "Alright, where are William and Aelita?" Amy murmurs as she looks around. Odd uses his enhanced hearing. Aelita opens up her hand for an energy field and Odd follows the noise.
"Huh? You can hear her?" Amy calls out as she runs after him.
"I sure can, my lady!"
"Good dog boyfriend," She pets the top of his head and he barks.
Yumi runs off as the three bikers fire at her. She dives out of the way, hiding behind a beam.
William swings at Aelita, who ends up at the edge. She looks at the Digital Sea below, looking up at William. He fires an energy field, but he absorbs it with the sword and then it turns pink. She looks at him in shock as he deflects it back to her. He knocks her towards the Digital Sea.
"Aelita!" Jeremy cries out.
The three bikers lift up some cabinets to throw at Yumi, who ducks her head.
William walks towards the edge, but Aelita flies over him. He chases after her as she flies towards the tower. Since he can't catch up, he has another way.
"Super smoke!" He turns into smoke and lands in front of her just as she's about to enter the tower. A bark is heard and he turns to see Odd tackling William onto the ground. Odd growls at him just like a dog.
"Odd, no! The DNA data is not even finished yet! Odd!" Jeremy protests to him.
"Jeremy..." Amy closes her eyes. "We can't just sit by and let Aelita get hurt. That's the thing about us: we don't quit! So just hurry up and finish the program. And besides, he's not alone," The fairy steps up to Odd's side, gripping her spear.
"...Okay," He nods, getting to work as fast as he can.
William lifts his hand, bringing his sword back into his hand. Odd leaps towards William. "Odd!"
Aelita runs into the tower, William glaring at her. "No...!"
A whistle is heard and he turns around to get devirtualized by Amy's spear. "That's for pushing my sister!"
Odd arrives in the scanner room, walking up to the one next to him. "Kiwi?" He sees the whole family there in the scanner. "Oh, it is Odd's little diggity dog! Who's a good boy? Yeah!"
Kiwi and his family run up to him, licking his cheeks. "Ohh, I'm sorry, little guys," He pets Lichi, Pepper, and Bonbon on the head. "And you too, Kiki. I'm never doing that again!"
They bark up at him, the puppies tackling him onto the ground, surrounding his face. He laughs, hugging them all.
Yumi comes out of hiding, only to be lifted up in the air by the three bikers.
Aelita lands on the top pad, slowly stepping up to the interface. She presses her hand to sign in.
Yumi groans in pain, the leader gritting his teeth.
"Tower deactivated."
The bikers are turned back to normal, falling unconscious. Ulrich rushes over to Yumi. "Yumi, no!" He kneels to her, pulling her up. "Yumi, you okay?"
"A bit shaken, but not stirred..." She murmurs to him and he calls Jeremy.
"Jeremy, all's well with Yumi. Odd and the Kiwi family good too? That's great!"
"No time to celebrate, I'm afraid. Gotta move those bikers out before they wake up."
They put the bikers back on the bridge, where they wake up from consciousness to hear barking. "What's wrong with those dogs? Do they have rabies or what?" A biker notices the dog family foaming at the mouth.
"I dunno, but it's not worth taking any chances. Let's roll!"
The bikers take off, everyone smiling in amusement to see them leave. The two dog owners bend down to the family, petting all of them on the heads.
Next morning rolls around as Yumi walks up to her friends, waving. "Hi everyone! Sleep well?"
"No, I didn't sleep a wink! Odd was so glad to see Kiwi they played all night long! Not to mention he had the puppies with him!" Ulrich complains, hands on his hips.
"With Kiwi's talent and my idea of having him foam at the mouth with toothpaste, you've gotta admit that we're a great team! With the two of us, Ames, Kiki, and their babies, XANA won't stand a chance!"
"I wouldn't try that again," Jeremy warns him. "I still can't believe that they had puppies. Betcha they'll be as brainless as their dad."
Odd glares at him.
"By the way, Odd, do you always carry toothpaste with you?" Aelita asks him curiously.
"Yeah, you never know when you're gonna run into a pretty girl!"
Amy huffs, crossing her arms. "I-I mean, ever since Ames became my girlfriend, I used to. But now it's just a habit!"
"Idiot," Ulrich shakes his head at him. "His feet smell awful enough. Just imagine him with bad breath as well!"
The others laugh as Odd pouts at his friends and girlfriend. Sissi storms up to the group. "Yumi! I know it's because of you that William's all messed up, and I'm gonna prove it!"
"Ugh. Forgot about her," Amy mutters under her breath.
"Don't bother, I know."
"Aha!" Sissi pumps her fist.
"I just broke up with him this morning. Don't be surprised if he stays messed up for a long time, he took it pretty hard," She shrugs as they walk off.
"You kidding me?!" Sissi blushes in embarrassment over the whole thing, gritting her teeth.
"You know, I think there's still a little bit of Kiwi in me!" Odd comments to them.
"What, you still got a tail?"
"Oh, do not unzip your pants again," Amy steps back a bit, holding a hand in front of her face.
"No! His sense of smell. We're having beef stew and brussel sprouts for lunch today. I can smell it from here!"
They laugh as they're approaching the cafeteria right now!
Angel: Before anyone asks, Kiwi is not neutered according to the wiki, so he still has his reproductive organs xD
