Octopus's Garden
Over the past few weeks, our heroes have been through many adventures during their quest to defeat XANA. From forgotten birthdays to bad luck to not, so joy rides on fighter jets to taming the William Clone, the Lyoko Warriors have been through a lot. After the latest XANA attack featuring a worm, our heroes regroup. "So, this is the revenge of the worm?" Ash asks. "Yeah, but it brought a friend," Dawn says. "With green slime," Odd says. "You guys sound like a Goosebumps book series," Yumi says while she laughs. Allison smiles as she listens to The Weeknd's latest album, Dawn FM. "What are you listening to?" Ulrich asks. "Listen," Allison gives Ulrich one of her Air Pods. "Don't Break My Heart! I don't know if I can take it anymore!" They both sing out loud. "I see. I need earplugs again," Dawn says while laughing. "At least they can sing. Unlike Nicholas," Jeremy says. "Don't get me started," Brock says. "Anyway, with the lastest replica destroyed and dealing with the return of the worm, I think we deserve a break, right Jeremy?" Aelita suggests. "Sure, like what?" Jeremy asks. "You know, we haven't fed the octopus in weeks," Ash says. "Right. I know that Ms. Hertz gave it different food," Brock says. "What are you guys talking about?" Yumi asks. "The science class's octopus," Dawn says. "What are you talking about?" Odd asks. "Hold up," Allison says. "We are going to correct this situation." "We are?" Ulrich asks. Fast forward to the Science Building, and the Lyoko Warriors observe the octopus. "So, this whole time for years, there has been an octopus in the Science Building," Aelita asks. "Yep. It dances," Ash says. "Right?" Jeremy says sardonically. Sure enough, it dances. "Let me feed it, Odd says. "Be careful," Brock says. "Yeah, yeah." Odd lifts the lid, and the octopus grabs his face. "Holy shit!" Odd yells as he rips it off himself, and it grabs Yumi. "Get off!" Yumi shouts as Aelita and Ulrich try to rip it off. "It's on our arms," Aelita shouts. "Do something, Jeremy," Ulrich shouts. Jeremy rips it open. "It's shooting fucking ink!" He shouts. "Over here," Allison shouts. Jeremy places the animal in the tank. "We should have warned you. It tends to be very affectionate." Yumi looks at her. "If you call that fucking affectionate." "Quick! Wipe the ink. Is coming. Moments later, Ms. Hertz comes in and sees Brock feeding the octopus. "I haven't you all feeding Mary in weeks." "We have been busy," Brock says. "I see. Stern! Della Robbia! Take notes! You both can write a report on the octopus for extra credit. Heaven knows you both need it." "Sure," Ulrich and Odd say. "She is a smart one. She can be used as a weapon with the right type of training."
Later in the day, Allison and Dawn are having a girl talk. "I mean, the panties work, but I still wear a pad for my reasons," Dawn says. "Me too. I wear only the panties on my spotting days because those days are light," Allison says. Moments later, Ulrich and Odd stop by."What are you two lovely ladies talking about?" Odd asks. "Girl stuff," Allison says."Right. We are not falling for that," Ulrich says. "We are. We are discussing different period products," Dawn says. "How about we talk about the octopus," Odd says. "You like the octopus?" Allison asks. "Yeah, I mean, we are not listening to the sniping comment Ms. Hertz made, but it is cool that we have one so close to school," Ulrich says. Meanwhile, Jeremy and Aelita are working on a test program to bring back William. "XANA has made it hard to break its hold on William," Jeremy says. "Hard, not impossible," Aelita says. "Right." Jeremy laughs. Jeremy and Aelita are working until Jeremy gets an idea for a while. He takes off his glasses and places them on Aelita. "Jeremy, these look better on you," Aelita says. "No. You look cute with them," Jeremy says. "I think you need them back. You are not seeing straight." Jeremy gets closer. "I am seeing perfectly." Aelita blushes as Jeremy gently kisses her. Aelita kisses back, and she finds herself in Jeremy's lap. Now, for everyone's favorite cockblocker, XANA activates a tower. Also, Yumi, Brock, and Ash arrive to see the show. "Whoa, I didn't know you had this side of you," Ash teases. Aelita and Jeremy stop in their tracks with fac rs red as tomatoes. "Are you going to address the activated tower?" Brock teases. Aelita quickly gets off Jeremy, and the pair fixes themselves. "So, as I was saying, there is an activated tower in the Desert Sector. Call the others, please," Jeremy says as he refuses to eye his friends. "I can't find my phone," Aelita says. "I'll call," Ash teases. "Aelita, we have a lot to talk about!" Yumi teases. Back at the courtyard, Dawn poses a question. "Remember what Ms. Hertz said about the octopus could be a weapon. Maybe XANA would do that?" "No!" Odd and Ulrich shout. "Whoa," Allison says. "Look, Dawn, don't jinx it," Ulrich says. Odd answers his phone. "What is going on?" "XANA has activated a tower in the Desert Sector," Ash says. "No sweat. So far, nothing is happening here." Dawn taps his shoulder. "Odd," Dawn says. Odd looks up. "Holy Fuck!" "What?" Yumi asks. "A giant octopus is attacking the school," Ulrich says. "So, do we need to do an RTTP? I mean, we won't forget, but we saw something that a pair may want to do over," Ash says. "Ash Ketchum, I love you and all, but what part of a giant fucking octopus is attacking our school, don't you understand?" Allison asks. "How big?" Brock asks. The octopus crashes into the Science Building, and the four sees Sissi and Moxie dangling. "Help!" They shout. "We have to go," Odd hangs up. "You four, hurry to the scanners," Jeremy commands.
Ash J and Nicholas look up and see Sissi and Moxie dangling in the courtyard. "We need to do something," Nicholas says. "I might have an idea," Ulrich says. "Dawn, do you want to help?" "Yeah," Dawn says. While they get work, Odd and Allison work together to tame the octopus. "Any ideas?" Allison asks. "One, calamari," Odd teases. Odd grabs a pipe and comes face to face with the octopus. "Let's see if you can do your worse with seven arms!" Odd jumps from the tree and cuts one arm from the octopus. "Got one," Odd proudly says. "Odd, that is great, but you do know that octopuses can grow their arms back," Allison points out. "They can. Maybe I should do the extra credit project," Odd says. The arm grows back and knocks Allison and Odd down. "Allison!" Ash J shouts. "She's going to be okay. We need to focus on this trampoline," Dawn says. "How can you be sure." "Trust me. She toughens her pain tolerance." "Okay, jump!" Ulrich shouts. "Are you fucking crazy?" Sissi shouts. Moxie jumps instead. Sissi still refuses until the building starts to shake. "I'm coming!" Sissi jumps down then hugs Ulrich. "Thank you, Ulrich dear!" Sissi shouts. "You can stop screaming! Also, get the fuck off of me. I am not your Ulrich dear," Ulrich states. Allison and Odd recover. "Are you both okay?" Nicholas asks. "Yeah, but it's mad!" Odd says as they look up to the octopus shooting ink everywhere. On Lyoko, XANA has sent hornets with their brown slime. "At this rate, Kadic will become ruins with all of these bugs in our way," Brock states. "Aelita, are you almost there?" Yumi asks. "Almost. William is in my way," Aelita shouts. Ash flies in using his drone and knocks William down. "Run," Ash calls. Aelita runs, but she falls. "Help!" "What happened to her?" Jeremy asks. He looks at his screen. "Quicksand! That leads to the Digital Sea." Ash tries to rescue her, but William grabs his leg. "Get off," Ash shouts. "I only take commands from XANA!" William says with a smirk. Brock hops on his air bike and rushes to save Aelita. William tries to hit Brock, but Ash wrestles with him. "You can tell your bitch XANA that I only take commands from my mother and girlfriend. And that it will lose!" William growls as Brock rescues Aelita. "Thanks!" Aelita says. "No problem. Let's get you to the tower," Brock says. Some hornets chase after them, but Yumi is in hot pursuit on the Overwing. "Take that!" Yumi shouts. William pushes Ash off and tries to strike him with his weapon, but Ash uses his gun to smack William's weapon away. At the same time, Brock and Aelita reach the tower to find: "A sandstorm!" Brock shouts. "Jeremy, there is a sandstorm surrounding the tower. I can't access it," Aelita shouts.
Odd and Dawn wipe the ink off their faces. "This is not my day," Odd says. "Right, you caused the octopus to escape the first time,' Ulrich says. Allison's phone rings to Out of Time by the Weeknd. "Jeremy, what is the status?" "Well, there is a sandstorm. Your boyfriend is losing to William. We are not looking too good. Hopefully, things are great on your end," Jeremy says. "Well, what is that?" Allison asks. "Animal control!" Nicholas states. "Stop! We are not killing this octopus. It is endangered!" Ms. Hertz states. "Well, the students come first," the animal control manager states. "Animal Control wants to shoot the octopus," Allison tells Jeremy. "Surface Pressure much? Okay, try to delay that, and we can try to hustle on our end," Jeremy says. "Guys, Animal Control wants to kill the octopus." "Can they come to Lyoko? I can't deal with these hornets anymore!" Yumi shouts. Aelita looks closer at the sandstorm. "Aelita, it looks like the sand is moving at a numerical sequence," Brock says. "What do you mean?" Aelita asks. "Allison does it a lot when she does coding. Sometimes she uses or creates numerical sequences when she designs programs," Ash says as he fights William. "She codes? Since when?" Yumi asks. "Focus. I agree with Brock. If we can figure out the sequence, I can time it right and enter the tower," Aelita says. Back in the courtyard, the group takes cover when the octopus crashes into the building and creates a dust storm. "We need to protect the octopus," Allison says. "I say ket that shit die!" Sissi shouts. "No. It is endangered! We can't!" Ulrich shouts. "But," Sissi says. "Look, is there a way to soothe the savage beast?" Moxie asks. "Yeah," Dawn says. "Allison, do you have The Beetles on your phone?" "On Spotify," Allison says. "What are you talking about?" Ash J says. "Ms. Hertz told us that it likes the song Octopus's Garden. Maybe if we play it on the loudspeaker, it can calm down," Dawn says. "You think a Xanified octopus will listen to it?" Ulrich asks. "It is worth a shout," Odd says. "Great. But what is Xanified?" Nicholas asks. On Lyoko, Aelita studies the sequence while William corners Ash. "Say your prayers," William shouts. "I got it!" Aelita shouts. "What!" William shouts as Ash takes this chance to stab him. "Ouch!" William says. "Bye!" Ash finishes the job. "It is 1,2,3,5,8,13,21, then repeat," Aelita says. "Great, so?" Yumi asks. "If I start running at the 5-second count, I can reach the tower with time to spare." "Good luck!" Brock says. "No need to worry," Aelita says. Jeremy gives a nervous chuckle. Back at school, Allison hooks her phone to the speaker at the soccer field. "I hope this works," Allison says. "Me too," Ulrich says. "Quick, turn it on," Odd shouts as he and Dawn run towards the field with the octopus following. "You cut four of its arms?" Ulrich asks. "We had to make it follow us," Dawn says. Allison turns on the speaker, and the octopus stops and starts to dance. "It works?" Ash J asks. "It sure does," Moxie says. Animal Control stops what they are doing to witness this sight. The octopus dances so much that its arms crash into the stage and knocks Allison down. "Ahh!" She screams, but Ulrich saves her. "Thanks," Allison says. "You're welcome. Between your boyfriend and your brother, they would let me have it," Ulrich teases. On Lyoko, Aelita runs into the tower at the 21-second count and deactivates it. "Return to the Past, now," Jeremy says.
At the science lab, Odd and Ulrich are admiring the octopus. "You know, without the Godzilla vibe, it is cool," Odd says. "Yeah, plus I can't wait to see the look on Ms. Hertz's face," Ulrich says. "Excuse me," Ms. Hertz says. "Hello, Ms. Hertz," Allison says. "Hello. I haven't seen you or Dawn feed the octopus in a while." "Yeah, we were busy," Dawn says. "Stern! Della Robbia! Take notes! You two could write an extra credit report on this octopus." Odd and Ulrich look at each other and smile. "Here!" They both say. "What!" Ms. Hertz looked like she saw a ghost. "I wrote about the diet and personality," Ulrich says. "And I wrote about the physical traits and their ability to form bonds," Odd says. "Okay. These look great. Okay," is speechless. "See you tomorrow," Dawn and Allison say. "That was fun. What is next?" Odd asks. "Yumi texted me and told her to meet them at the factory for a treat." In the lab, Jeremy looks at his watch. "I don't think they are coming." "Well, we have already completed the data faster, plus we sharpened the program to find replicas faster," Aelita says. "Okay." Moments later, Aelita takes off Jeremy's glasses and places them on her face. "You're right. They do look better on me," Aelita teases. "Right. But my tongue down your throat is better," Jeremy says. He kisses Aelita, and she climbs on top of him. Now for today's cockblocker: the new and improved replica finder. Allison, Ulrich, Dawn, and Odd saw the show, with Yumi, Ash, and Brock in the background. "Was this the show?" Odd asks. Aelita and Jeremy stop kissing and see their friends. "I see; Jeremy has it in him," Dawn teases. "And you talk about Ash and me," Allison adds in. Jeremy and Aelita froze. "So, about that replica? Since these guys in the back went to Lyoko the last time, we four will go with Aelita to the replica. Or you two can finish, and we can get back to this later," Ulrich teases. Aelita jumps off Jeremy, and they fix themselves. "Is this what you saw?" Allison asks. "Aelita was in his lap,' Ash says. "Okay, yeah, you four, to the scanners!" Jeremy says, all flustered. Aelita decides to take the ladder.
What a day! A giant octopus who loves to dance. Using math in real-life pays off. Jeremy and Aelita were getting their freak on. "Hey, that is to be included in your summary," Jeremy says. "Yeah, plus it was kissing!" Aelita says. Okay then! What happens next only time will tell. A few days later, a blonde girl walks into Kadic and is surrounded by boys. "Hey, can we take your bags?" "Sure!" The girl said. "What is your name?" " Brynja Heringsdötir!" Sissi explained.
