Chapter 10

A Fine Mess

X had just finished helping the Lyoko Warriors with another mission to Sector 5 and was in his tower going over the data when he was contacted by Jeremie.

He hesitates at first but then opens communications.

"X we have a bit of a situation here."

Jeremie explained how the rematerialization program was bugged and resulted in Odd and Yumi switching bodies.

X thought for a second.

"I'll try to fix the bug from here but i'm not sure how much i can help."

X closed communications and began looking through his data to find a way to fix the program.

Jeremie and Aelita stayed at the factory to work on the program.

Meanwhile Odd and Yumi had an interesting day as the other person.

When it was night though something else happened.

Both Yumi and Odd saw parts of their bodies glitch sorta similar to the glitching X has been going through.

Back at the Factory…

Aelita was asleep while Jeremie found the bug in the program.

X found a way to fix said bug and contacted Jeremie.

"So how do we fix this bug?"

"None of the data we currently have will fix the program, at least not completely."

"What do you mean?"

"The data we have will guarantee no one will turn out like Odd and Yumi but it wont fix them."

"Then how do we fix them?"

"Data from Sector 5 should allow us to fix them."

Jeremie nods.

"Ok I'll get the others."

A bit of time passes

Odd and Yumi told them how their bodies were glitching.

"We need to head to the factory now."

Jeremie said and they were on there way to the factory

"What do you think the problem is Jeremie?"

Aelita asked before Jeremie in the sewer.

"Odd and Yumi have been rematerialized in bodies that aren't their own and so they become unstable."

"And?"

Ulrich questioned.

"If we don't take care of this immediately their atoms might split."

"What do you mean our atoms might split?"

Odd asked.

"Complete disintegration."

"Great"

Yumi said sarcastically.

At the Factory…

Jeremie went to the computer lab and virtualized them to the Ice Sector.

They looked around and saw a waytower.

Odd was struggling to walk in Yumi's virtual form.

X walked out of the tower and they saw him.

"So you show yourself now?"

Ulrich questioned.

"Lives are at risk. I don't like the idea of letting people die."

X summoned his scythe and blocked a laser that was about to his Odd.

"We need to move now."

He spins his scythe around and blocks more lasers from kankrelats.

"Whatever happens Odd and Yumi cant be devirtualized if they go it'll be bye bye for good"

Odd and Yumi struggled to fight in the wrong bodies.

X focused on blocking lasers that were aimed at Yumi and Odd.

Ulrich ran over and stabbed one of the 5.

X threw the scythe and destroyed another one before quickly summoning his weapon back to block more lasers.

Yumi tried to use Odd's laser arrows but just almost hit Odd instead.

Another kankrelat tried to shoot Yumi but Ulrich intercepted it and destroyed it.

X jumped between the last ones and with one spin all of them were destroyed.

"We need to get to Sector 5 now."

"Jeremie we could use some vehicles."

Aelita said, taking cover with Odd and Yumi.

"On it"

Jeremie programmed them.

Yumi went on the Overboard,Odd on the Overwing, Ulrich and Aelita on the Overbike.

X tapped the ground twice with his scythe and the Overspeeder appeared.

The group made their way to the edge of the sector.

"Are you sure we have to go to Sector 5?"

Yumi asked X

"Me and Jeremie worked for through the codes and the only way to fix this is to collect data on Sector 5"

"X is right remember if you dont get back into your own bodies soon its disintegration."

Jeremie said preparing the transport to Sector 5.

The 5 got off their Vehicles and went to the edge.

But just as they did a megatank was virtualized behind them.

It was about to fire but before it could Ulrich ran to it in attempt to stab it.

X grabbed Ulrich's soldier and throws him to the group as the transport showed up.

The Mega tank fired directly at X

He responded by thrusting his scythe directly at the blast.

This caused the Megatank blast to split in two making the blasts at his sides but not near the Lyoko warriors.

The transport showed up to take them to Sector 5.

X pushed further and eventually struck the Mega tank.

The explosion hit X a bit causing his hood to fall revealing his black hair to the group before the transport took them.

X put his hood up.

'I have my own way to get to sector 5'

He looks down.

'It will cost me some data but they could use my help.'

He taps the ground a few times and vanished.

In sector 5

The group ran down the corridor when the wall opened.

"The countdown has started so hurry up and watch out for the scyphozoa"

Jeremie warned.

As they ran into the strange room

(I have no idea how to explain it)

Creepers started to crawl after them from the walls and ceiling of the weird room.

When the 4 entered the main room there was nothing but an empty pit.

The key was on a wall on the other side of the room.

The creepers started to enter the room.

One was right behind the four.

They turned around and shot at them.

Ulrich deflected the laser back at the creeper causing it to explode pushing all of them off the ledge.

But instead of falling they were floating.

"XANA's modified the gravity in this room."

Jeremie said.

Odd moved over and kicked off the ledge to get some further distance.

Ulrich was closer to the key and attempted to reach the Key.

"Almost there."

But just before he could reach it a creeper crawled up to it and shot Ulrich several times devirtualizing him.

Another creeper crawled on to the ledge and aimed at Yumi.

"Shield"

She summoned Odd's shield to block the lasers.

Odd started to move close to the creeper that shot Ulrich.

The creeper started to aim at Odd.

But before it could shoot at him.

A spinning blade sliced it before being stuck to the wall.

The blade is revealed to be X's Scythe.

X fell down and landed on the handle before hitting the key.

The doorway opened and X jumped down to it.

"Quickly we dont have much time."

He pulled Odd over to the to the platform.

Another creeper goes over and shoots at Aelita and Yumi.

Yumi grabs her and jumps back while shooting laser arrows at the two creepers.

X jumped and threw his scythe dirrectly at the creepers.

The creepers shot it away.

X moved over and kicked Aelita and Yumi over to the platform.

Unfortunatly X didnt see that Yumi and Odd started to glitch again and the Scyphozoa appeared and was floating towards Aelita.

X grabbed his Scythe and aimed at the Scyphozoa.

But before he could throw it, a creeper shot at him.

'Ugg i was careless'

He flew back and let go of his Scythe.

Yumi and Odd stopped glitching and attacked the Scyphozoa stopping it from grabbing Aelita.

Aelita looked at X

"Is he ok?"

Aelita reached out for him.

X quickly snapped out of his daze and grabs his Scythe and threw it at the creepers.

He was faster this time and destroyed them.

X moves and kicks Yumi and Aelita onto the platform and moves slowly over to it himself.

The four ran to the elevator room and reached the Interface.

Aelita immeditetly got to work.

"Hurry these two dont have much time."

X said keeping his guard up.

Yumi and Odd glitched again.

"Aelita hurry!"

Jeremie said worried.

"Theyre in the final stage of disintegration!"

The Mantas started to hatch

"Thats it! You can take over now!"

"Ok ive got it, ill transfer back to the rematerialization program."

Jeremie quickly got to work.

The 3 Mantas hatched and shot at the group.

X spinned his Scythe around to deflect the lasers.

Yumi and Odd were devirtualized by Jeremie

"I hope this works."

Ulrich went to the scanner room to check and sure enough it worked.

X summoned the Overspeeder and jumped on.

"Cmon Aelita."

She jumped on as well and he drove to outrun the Mantas.

"Jeremie quickly open the tunnel i dont have enough data to intiate Code Earth on my own."

"Its open go now."

X went through it and landed near a tower.

Aelita faced X

"Answer one question for me."

Aelita said to him.

"Why do you help us so much?"

X looked away from her.

"Its how i was programmed"

X drove away.

Aelita went into the tower and Jeremie brought her in.

'Why do i feel like hes lying?"

She thought to herself

AN:Ok so this chapter was delayed for a few reasons, 1 this episode was much harder and i really didnt want to put filler in this one so this chapter might be a little shorter, 2 the coronavirus has had me very busy with my family. So depending on how much im interested into the next episode will depend on how soon the next chapter is
