With a plan in place, it was time for execution. The gang was virtualized onto Lyoko with the exception of Katrina who was currently attending classes. She told Jeremie to only contact her if it was an emergency. So far, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Jeremie was able to virtualize them right into Sector Five eliminating the need for the transporter. They made their way through the corridor into the big room that held the key. Once they entered, the timer appeared on Jeremie's screen counting down the time they had left to get to the key. To their surprise, there were no creepers waiting for them. Everything seemed quiet, too quiet in fact. Jeremie warned them to keep their guard up since he wasn't sure what was going on either. There was a possible chance that Xana was up to something. Odd, being the free spirit he was went straight for the key without any caution. Ulrich and Yumi agreed that he would be the first one to be devirtualized. Odd made it a quarter way across the moving platforms when he was shot it. Luckily for him, it barely missed him. Yumi found the culprit throwing one of her fans at it. She missed as well however; she used her telekinesis to guide the fan back to the creeper destroying it.

"Nice one Yumi" Ulrich praised. Odd finally made it across slamming his hand onto the key deactivating the countdown. A passageway opened up allowing the warriors access to the rest of Sector Five. They hopped onto the elevator which took them to the room where the sub was docked. Jeremie teleported each one of them into the sub. Aelita detached the sub from the hub and embarked on a trip to one of the replicas. A few minutes after diving into the digital sea, the sea started turning red signaling the presence of kongres. Aelita dispatched everyone to take care of them. After all of the kongres are gone, everyone was reattached to the main sub. They eventually arrived at the entrance to one of the replicas. Aelita inserted the key granting the access. The sub emerged from the digital sea docking the sub at the tower Jeremie activated for them. Ulrich and Yumi were transported to Earth in the factory that the replica was connected to. Odd and Aelita stayed inside the sub. Things seemed to be calm on Ulrich and Yumi's end with no monster's in sight. After scoping the area, the two headed inside figuring the coast was clear.

"So how did Katrina do in her tournament?" Yumi asked.

"She didn't win, but she was a finalist" Ulrich replied.

"That's good, I'm surprised she competed so soon" Yumi commented.

"Yeah, my parents were skeptical about the idea, but she was committed" Ulrich noted.

"So in other words she's stubborn?" Yumi questioned.

"Pretty much" He responded.

"I think that's how you and your sister are alike. You're both stubborn" Yumi teased with a smirk.

"Hey! I'm not stubborn!" Ulrich remarked. Before the two started arguing, a group of kankrelats were energized in the factory.

"Jeremie, we got company" Yumi announced.

"Odd and Aelita got company too. Xana must've realized what we're up to" Jeremie stated in response.

"Should we call Katrina just in case?" Yumi asked turning her head to Ulrich.

"She's in class and she told Jeremie not to contact her during class unless it was an absolute emergency" Ulrich told her.

"You guys should be fine. No one lost any life points yet, so I don't see the need to disturb her right now" Jeremie stated. Ulrich and Yumi took out the kankrelats that were in front of them continuing on into the factory. So far it looks like a normal factory. Jeremie managed to find a map of the factory guiding Yumi and Ulrich to the location of the supercomputer. It wasn't as easy as it sounded. One of the doors was locked. Therefore, Jeremie had to hack into the system from his end to unlock it. While they were waiting on Jeremie, more monsters appeared. They were outnumbered, but it was manageable for the two of them. Ulrich took out his share while Yumi took out hers. Yumi got hit by one in the process, but only took ten points of damage, which was nothing. More showed up much to their dismay. Jeremie was able to unlock the door. Ulrich and Yumi passed through the door. Ulrich slammed his fist onto the button on his side shutting the door separating the two from the monsters for now.

"I hope Odd and Aelita are doing better than us" Yumi commented.

"Guys we have a problem. William showed up on the replica" Jeremie announced.

"I guess not" Ulrich responded to Yumi's comment. "One of us is probably going to have to go back there" He then stated.

"Not yet, you two get to the supercomputer as fast as you can" Jeremie instructed. Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. They continued on to the room where the supercomputer was located. Odd and Aelita were barely holding up now that William was on the replica. Odd needed to protect Aelita just like the old days because she was the only one that knew how to pilot the sub. Watching from the screen, Jeremie debated on whether he should call Katrina or just accept defeat. From the looks of it, Ulrich and Yumi had more footage to go before they reached the supercomputer. Maybe one of them was going to have to be transported back to the replica to help Odd and Aelita. However, if they did that, then one of them would be in the factory alone. Right now they were in a lose-lose situation. The only option he had now was to pull Ulrich and Yumi from the factory and take care of William. At least, that's what he thought was his only option. He remembered his wild card. He dialed her number hoping she would pick up quickly. Much to his relief, she does.

"Hello?"

"We need you" Was all Jeremie said.
