It was late at night.
Everyone was asleep at Kadic although that wouldn't last for long.
An alarm went off waking Jeremie up.
"An activated tower?"
He looks at his computer and sees that a tower was activated.
"Its in the forest sector."
Jeremie goes to leave his room before he saw the tower was suddenly deactivated.
"That's unusual."
The next morning...
The Lyoko Warriors we're all at the vending machines.
"So a tower goes off in the middle of the night and then just deactivated?"
Ulrich questioned.
"Exactly, I'm not entirely sure why though."
"Could be XANA."
Yumi says.
"Who knew XANA liked wake up calls."
Odd said getting a drink.
"Probably be best to check Lyoko just in case."
Aelita added.
An alarm went off on Jeremie's Laptop.
"Good Timing XANA has activated a tower, quickly to the factory."
One Virtualization Sequence later...
The Four of Them were in their vehicles heading to the tower.
"I'm not seeing a welcoming committee."
Odd questioned
"Jeremie where are the monsters?"
Yumi asked.
Jeremie looked ahead on the map.
"They're waiting at the tower."
He noticed something else.
"That's strange there's something else there though."
The four reach the Tower and see someone in a black cloak wielding a scythe cutting off the legs of Krabs before striking them down.
"Jeremie there's someone destroying the monsters."
Ulrich says while he and the others stop their vehicles.
"Who is it though?"
The cloaked person walked into the tower and 2 minutes later he walks out and the tower was deactivated.
"He deactivated the tower?"
Aelita questioned.
The man looked up at them his face still covered.
"Aelita?"
He looks at her which made her take a step back.
The other immediately got in front of her.
The man shakes his head.
'Her memory really is missing.'
He thought
Odd shot a laser arrow at the man who takes a step to the left dodging it.
"Back off!"
Odd shouted
"You attacked first I want you to realize that."
The man held his hand out and his scythe appeared.
The three got ready to fight.
The man took one step and then appeared in front of odd.
Odd didnt have time to react and one strike to the chest and Odd was devirtualized.
"Aelita go now!."
Ulrich shouted as he triplicated himself to surround the man.
Aelita nodded and turned the overwing around and began to head to way tower.
"Aelita keep going straight then make a right."
Jeremie instructed.
The man spinned his scythe around and threw it.
The main Ulrich quickly dodged before attempting to strike down the man.
Yumi threw both her fans at The man.
He catches them and uses them to block Ulrich's sword.
The spinning scythe moved behind Yumi and stabs her in the back devirtualizing her.
"Yumi!"
Ulrich shouted jumping back.
The fans vanished from the man's hands and the scythe reappears.
"I am not your enemy."
"Kinda hard to believe you at this point."
Ulrich ran fast and tried to stab the man who vanished and appeared to the left of Ulrich.
"I suppose it is."
The man struck Ulrich down.
"For all that it's worth I'm sorry."
He looks at the overbike and jumps on it and drives toward Aelita.
Meanwhile...
Aelita saw the tower.
"Jeremie im almost at the tower."
"Be careful Aelita a few monsters are there."
Two Krabs and 3 Bloks.
Aelita tried to maneuver around them but the Bloks fired rings destroying the overwing.
She fell but tried to run to the tower.
Unfortunately a Krab was in front of her and the bloks on her left and right.
"Jeremie there's no way through."
"Hold on I'll try to devirtualize you from here."
Jeremie was typing quickly on the computer.
The scyphozoa slowly approached Aelita and grabs her trying to collect her memory.
"Cmon there's got to be something I can do."
Jeremie was desperate trying to figure out what to do.
He saw the man was heading straight towards Aelita.
"Look I dont know who you are but please save Aeilita."
Jeremie said to the man who jumps off the overbike and it crashed into a blok destroying the block.
"Lucky for You."
He threw His scythe which spined around destroying the krabs and the last blok.
He catches The scythe before facing the scyphozoa.
"I was planning on saving her."
He slices off the tentacles and catches Aelita.
"Hey wake up."
He puts her down and she woke up and looked at him.
"You saved me why?"
"I told your friend I wasn't your enemy, that strange haired one attacked first."
"Who are you?"
"I am connected to this world, a simple code that only recently acquired a form."
"So You're like me?"
"No you had a solid form."
"But you have one now."
"This is not the Same."
He placed his hand on her head.
"I am X."
"Huh?"
"Code Earth."
Aelita vanished and appeared back in the scanner.
The 5 were in Jeremie's room processing the events of the day.
"So this X is connected to Lyoko."
Said Yumi.
"Which explains how he kicked all our butts."
Odd responded.
"And how he was able to enable Code:Earth."
Jeremie said sitting at his computer.
"But he saved me."
Aelita said leaning back.
"Just who is X?."
