Chapter 4

Mister Puck

We open in a forest.

An elf was running before it stops to catch its breath.

The elf looked up to see a wolf slowly approaching it.

The wolf growls and attempts to jump on the elf.

Before it could pounce on the elf a blade separated the two, then a sudden flash of light appeared.

Kadic at Night…

Aelita woke up with a scream.

"Why do these dreams keep happening?"

Aelita put her hand on her forehead.

Later that Day…

The group decided to go explore the Hermitage.

Aelita went up to the second floor.

She went into a room as the others followed.

Aelita held her head as more visions appeared to her.

The elf was now running from a pack of wolves.

It tripped but quickly got up and hid inside a tree.

One of the Wolves saw the Elf and began to approach the Elf before a shadowly pressence engulfed the wolf.

The Elf quickly dug through some leaves and found a chest with an X on front of it, when the Elf opened the chest a flash of green light was in it.

Yumi spoke up

"Aelita are you ok?"

Aelita shook out of the visions.

"'Yes, i mean i think so."

Jeremie approached her.

"Did you have another vision?"

Aelita walked past them.

"Yes but it was different this time."

She walks to a painting.

"Its as if someone or something was leading me to."

She took the painting down.

"There was something in a tree like that one."

She saw a hole in the wall with a doll in it.

"Huh?"

Aelita pulled the doll out.

"Mister Puck."

They returned to Kadic shortly and we're talking about Aelita's visions and examining the doll.

Aelita noticed something under the doll's foot.

"Hm?"

She looks closely and saw on one foot was a J and S while on the other was an A and S.

"Is this some kind of code?"

Aelita questioned before Sissi grabbed the doll which turned into a game of keep away with her and her two goons.

Herb and Nicholas.

Aelita and Sissi soon were pulling on the doll trying to get it away from the other.

Aelita was victorious and got the doll.

But when she did a key flew out of it.

Ulrich quickly got put his foot on the key to keep sissi away from it as the teacher came in causing everyone to go to their seats.

He gave the key to Jeremie before taking his seat.

Jeremie examined the key and saw two things.

The key was to open a train station locker and there was an X marking on it that looked like the same X that appeared on his computer when X contacted him.

The Group head towards the train station and goes the lockers.

Aelita opened the locker.

There was briefcase with an F H on it.

"F H? What does that stand for?"

Ulrich questioned.

Odd started saying a bunch of weird suggestions.

Aelita moved the case and opened it to see a bunch of discs.

"Oh wow music."

"Certanly not"

Jeremie said getting out his laptop.

He puts on of the discs in.

"Franz Hopper's diary"

"Great, maybe we will be able to find out more about the Hermitage's mysterious owner."

Yumi said hopefully.

"For sure, but not right away everythig is incripted, i have to decode it first.

When they got back Jeremie got to work to decode the diary after loading the diaries into his computer.

Back on Lyoko…

X was moving codes around inside a tower.

"XANA is getting stronger the anti virus must be found quickly."

He pressed a button on the interface to perform the test.

X watched the error message appeared.

"More data is required."

X felt a tower being activated.

"This isnt good."

Morning at Kadic…

XANA had attempted and failed to possess Odd and Ulrich

They went to Jeremie who woke up and checked the super scan.

"There's no activated tower, XANA's attack failed."

"Or did X deactivate it again?"

Ulrich questioned.

"Im not sure but it seems we're in the clear."

Odd and Ulrich left the room.

Jeremie went back to his computer unaware of the XANA ghost behind him.

A bit later…

A XANA possessed Jeremie had taken Aelita.

Yumi saw this and called Ulrich and Odd to tell them she checked Jeremie's room and saw the discs were destroyed.

Aelita regained consciousness as Jeremie was crossing the bridge.

"Jeremie no."

He was about to shock Aelita when a strange shadow like figure pulled Aelita away and push Jeremie back as Ulrich and Odd appeared.

"What the heck?"

Odd looked confused at the shadow.

"Get to Lyoko now."

The Shadow said in a familiar voice.

"X?"

Aelita questioned.

"This form will only last a few more minutes i will delay him as much as i can."

Odd and Ulrich quickly ran passed Jeremie and the Shadow.

"Cmon Aelita."

Ulrich said as they moved to the lab.

They quickly virtualized themselves and we're in the ice sector.

Meanwhile in the Desert Sector.

X was in a tower that was Grey instead of Blue.

His eyes were closed.

He suddenly gasped and opened them as the tower returned to normal and held his head and his body glitched.

"I hope that bought them enough time."

Back on Earth Yumi had arrived as the Shadow vanished.

"Sorry about this Jeremie."

She hit him with a metal pipe.

In Lyoko…

Ulrich and Odd were fighting off Bloks while Aelita made her way to the tower.

But while they were distracted the Scyphozoa appeared and approached Aelita.

Aelita was preparred for this and used her power to freeze it and runs to the tower.

Unfortunatley before she could get there a Blok was in front of the tower and froze her leg in place.

Back at the Lab…

Jeremie had recovered and shocked Yumi before throwing her into a wall

He went to the computer and materialized Odd.

Ulrich saw this and used his triplicate to take out the rest of the Bloks.

Jeremie worked to try to materilize Ulrich but before he could Odd pulled Jeremie back.

"It's not nice to devirtualize your best friends."

Jeremie grabbed odd by his collar and throws him into a wall.

The Scyphozoa broke out and began to head towards Aelita.

Ulrich threw his sword slicing the tentacles.

Aelita freed herself from the ice and ran into the tower.

Jeremie was slowy approaching Odd with a high amount of electricity in his hands.

Aelita deactivated the tower.

Jeremie passed out and was freed from XANA.

A bit later…

Jeremie was told about what he did while he was possessed.

"At least the files of the diary are still saved."

Jeremie smiled.

"Yeah but you can be possessed."

Aelita looked worried.

"I better be more cautious around XANA's ghosts."

Meanwhile on Lyoko…

X was looking through the files of Franz Hopper's Diary.

"This will be helpful."
