In the Main science room, a highly advanced piece of scientific equipment sat plugged into a screen via a series of multi coloured cables, a power box rested on a small trolley below the screen, it suddenly sparked and the screen illuminated, the sign of XANA appeared, black slime emerged from the power box and moved along the cables towards the piece of scientific equipment, the equipment appeared to be a glass sphere, being held between two pieces of metal, with a bowl at the base, and four metal poles holding it up, the bowl filled up with a blue substance, which was then illuminated by a light from above.
=================================================================================================
A few hours later, Mrs Hertz's science group had gathered around the piece of equipment which was sitting on her desk, Dallas was sitting alone at his desk without his jacket and rather strangely his wings, Jeremie looked back at him wondering what was wrong, he quickly turned back and looked at what he considered a fascinating piece of modern technology
"here we have the Nano sphere, that the Nano Tech Service company was kind enough to lend us" said Mrs Hertz as she pushed it forwards so it was now in the centre of the table, "who can tell us what Nano technology is" asked Mrs Hertz, almost immediately Herb was raising his hand eager to answer, he squealed as he held his arm high ready to answer, whilst Jeremie more calmly held his finger up, whilst resting his arm on the desk, Odd and Ulrich looked his way "Jeremie go on" said Mrs Hertz then everyone else looked at him "It's microscopic sized technology, there are Nano Motors, Nano Circuit boards and Nano Gears" said Jeremie, Sissi and her group turned from looking at him, Herb was the most spiteful as he was so desperate to answer, "Exactly in the medical field for example, scientists are developing Nano doctors, tiny Doctor's that will be able to travel through our body and combat disease, scientific research however still has a long way to go" said Mrs Hertz, the warriors quickly looked at Dallas, then back at the Nano Sphere "are these robots capable of fight pimples and things like that" Asked Sissi, the class erupted into laughter "yes they can but the priority is for more serious illnesses" said Mrs Hertz, who herself was trying not to laugh "and Nano technology can't do a thing about stupidity, poor Sissi what a shame" said Odd, before he carried on laughing "alright now quiet down" said Mrs Hertz, then she looked back at the device "so this Nano sphere is used to make microscopic devices" she started as she lifted the lid off leaving the bowl section "strange it hasn't been cleaned properly, theirs Gel inside" she added, as she was baffled by the substance "looks like the greasy stuff Odd puts on his hair everyday" said Ulrich, Odd looked at him shaking his head with a half-smile, "well since you think you're so clever Ulrich, why don't you take a sample for us to examine" said Mrs Hertz, she handed Ulrich a glass slide, he then scooped some up onto the slide "the Gel is used in cultures where Nano devices can develop" said Mrs Hertz, "looks an awful lot like jam" said Ulrich, he then held it to his nose to sniff the substance, Odd then gave his good old friend a tap on the back causing his nose to go straight into the substance "sorry but I just couldn't Resist" said Odd, as the class roared with laughter "I'll get you for that Odd" said Ulrich, Mrs Hertz replaced the lid of the Nano sphere exclaiming "this is a science class children not a comedy club".
=================================================================================================
Lunch time had arrived and the group had meet at a tree by a bench, Jeremie again looked at Dallas, who was sitting down on the bench, he hadn't spoken a single word, Jeremie looked back at the others he was sure they had noticed
"this Nano technology is incredible, now there's a field I'd like to work on in the future" said Jeremie avoid the subject, Yumi looked at her hand "I have enough trouble with regular sized technology much less microscopic" said Yumi, Ulrich started to open a chocolate candy bar, Odd noticed this almost immediately, Ulrich's eyes shifted towards Odd "hey that looks good, can I have some" said Odd, he'd played himself into Ulrich's trap "here" said Ulrich smacking it into Odd's forehead "I warned you" said Ulrich, as he Yumi and Jeremie started to laugh, Dallas turned his head and looked towards them his face didn't change, he looked back at the nothingness which had previously preoccupied him "yeah but taking advantage of my sweet tooth wasn't fair" said Odd, as he pulled the chocolate bar from his face and started wiping it off his forehead "I said I'd…" said Ulrich, before he suddenly felt a tremendous amount of pain, falling his knees a vain appeared on the side of his head, "Ulrich what is it" asked Yumi, Ulrich grabbed the sides of his head, "it's my head ahh" he said as he finally collapsed due to the pain, Jim looked their way, Dallas quickly jumped out of his seat and walked towards Ulrich, "Ulrich" said Yumi, Odd started to nudge him "hey Ulrich" he said, Jim quickly walked over "what's going on here" he asked, as he knelt down to Ulrich "Ulrich passed out" said Yumi, Jim picked up Ulrich "I'll take him to the infirmary" he said as he started to walk towards the main building "he was fine this morning" said Jeremie as he scratched his chin "I know it's really weird" said Odd, whilst Sissi noticed Jim carrying Ulrich away towards the infirmary, she quickly turned her eyes towards the baffled warriors, before looking towards Ulrich with a grin.
=================================================================================================
No less than a few minutes later the nurse was feeling for Ulrich's pulse, having found it she looked at her watch as she worked out his heart rate
"alright" she said as she let go off his arm "get some rest now Ulrich" she added before turning towards the door, upon grabbing the handle and opening it she found none other than Sissi standing on the side, she was reaching for the door handle, "what are you doing here" she exclaimed Sissi smiled and put her hands behind her back "I wanted to find out how Ulrich was" she said, the nurse was less than convinced "much better he's asleep" said the nurse as she pulled the door shut behind her "just a second can I see him" said Sissi, as she tried to look over the nurses shoulder "I don't know, I um…" started the nurse, Sissi then smiled less convincingly "you see I'm his best friend" she said, the nurse gave in "all right not for too long" she said as she stepped aside letting Sissi into the room, before stepping out of the room closing the door behind her, Sissi knew she had her ideal chance and walked over towards Ulrich, she started to stroke his face, before moving onto his hair "you're so handsome when you sleep" said Sissi as she moved her hand from his hair towards… suddenly Ulrich's eyes opened and Sissi moved her hand towards her chin, Ulrich slowly learned forward "where am I anyway" he asked, "in the infirmary, you passed out" said Sissi, Ulrich looked at her "the infirmary?" he asked puzzled "what infirmary" he asked, Sissi was scarred by the way Ulrich was acting, the latter stood up and walked towards a mirror and a sink, he had only one question "who am I what's my name" he asked, Sissi was confused at his current state "Ulrich" said Sissi as she opened her arms, he looked towards her and said "Ul-rick" as he tried to work out how to say it, Sissi stepped towards him "You must have hit your head when you fell down" said Sissi, Ulrich was confused and looked at her "and who are you" he asked as he tried to piece everything together "me I'm Sissi… …Sissi your sweetheart" she answered, suddenly Ulrich didn't know where he was his surroundings changed, he was in his room with Sissi at the door with a letter like she had been before Ulrich had caught her, then he was on a bus with Sissi sitting next to him, then the next thing he knew he was standing by the tree, in a memory that seemed so long ago "so when are you going to stop being so shy and finally tell me how you feel about me huh" said Sissi, Ulrich found himself again in the infirmary "your wrong I'm not shy" he said, then he was back in the memory "not at all, I'm just allergic to anyone whose stuck up" he added, before lowering his hand from his head, he had stopped moving from place to place and was back in the infirmary once more "my sweetheart?" he thought as he looked at Sissi, then the door opened and the nurse entered causing Sissi to look towards "our patient is awake I see" she said, then Sissi moved out of the way "Ulrich how are you" she asked, the aforementioned was confused by this statement "much better much, much better I'll take him to his room" said Sissi as she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of his room "are you sure you're alright" asked the nurse as she watched them leave the corridor, Sissi and Ulrich quickly passed Jim as he carried Sandra towards the nurse's office
"what is this an epidemic" he asked, as he passed them, "come on hurry" said Sissi as she continued to pull Ulrich.
=================================================================================================
Nicholas, Herb and Adam stood underneath one of the trees in the courtyard, Adam had a cigarette in his hand, whilst Herb a can of cola, and Nicholas his hands behind his back, they watched confused as Sissi walked towards them with Ulrich in tow, the latter looked down as he was pulled by his wrist
"well what do you know" said an observing Millie, Sissi then stopped and looked at the other warriors, she placed her finger to her mouth then she pointed towards them "see those four kids over their" she said, Ulrich then turned his attention towards them "they're your worst enemies" she added, Ulrich almost as if by instinct decided to question this "but why" he asked, whilst Odd looked over and noticed Ulrich "hey it's Ulrich" said Odd, before he walked over towards him "what's going on why is he with Sissi" asked Yumi, then she and Jeremie followed after Odd, whilst Dallas looked at them before duly following, "you feeling better good buddy" asked Odd as he placed his hand on Ulrich shoulder, "who are you, huh" said Ulrich, Odd removed his hand "leave me alone creep" he added Odd, Yumi and Jeremie were shocked by this display of sudden anger "come on Ulrich it's me, Odd" he said in an attempt to get to his friend, "that's enough, can't you see he doesn't want to know you so stay away from us, understand" said Sissi, as she grabbed Ulrich's arm again and pulled him away, Dallas curled his fist as if to lash out, Jeremie looked at him and knew what he was planning, but who he was likely to lash out he didn't know, "what's the matter with him" asked Odd, Jeremie looked forward again, whilst at the tree Sissi had stopped "Ulrich these are your good friends Nicholas, Herb and Adam" she said, Nicholas and Herb looked at each other confused, whilst Adam shook his head as if to say I don't give a shit "he forgets things, you'd better remind him" said Sissi, Nicholas and Herb were now scarred nodded, Ulrich however couldn't help but avert his gaze from Herb's drink "I'm very thirsty" said Ulrich, Herb then reluctantly handed him the can, Ulrich quickly started to down the drink, Herb was shocked by this display, "you know what would be good for you, a walk in the park" said Sissi, as she walked over and grabbed Ulrich's arm and pulled him along, "here thanks" said Ulrich as he handed Herb his drink back, or what was left of it at least "has he gone off the deep end or something" said Adam as Herb shook the near empty can of drink, whilst watching from afar the warriors were baffled by Ulrich's behaviour "he didn't even recognize us it's crazy" said Jeremie, he was confused and placed his finger on his chin "it could be amnesia" he added, Yumi looked from Ulrich towards Jeremie "go and see what the nurse says" said Yumi, Odd then looked at her "okay, Sissi and Ulrich can you believe it" said Odd, then they walked off in their respective directions.
=================================================================================================
Yumi stood behind a tree at the edge of the forest and watched as her boyfriend sat on a bench next to Sissi, the latter had a box of cookies
"here" she said as she shook the box and handed Ulrich a cookie, "you need the energy" said Sissi, Ulrich looked at the cookie, before taking a small bit "Ulrich how do you feel knowing you're with the prettiest girl in school" said Sissi as she started to put her arm Ulrich, "to be honest nothing" said Ulrich, Sissi retracted her arm and said "what did you say", Ulrich didn't turn his head, but his eyes shifted towards Sissi and he stood up "what I mean is you're really not my type" said Ulrich, Sissi crossed her arms, whilst behind the tree Yumi smiled and said "at least you know that Ulrich", suddenly Ulrich noticed Yumi standing behind the tree "hey what are you doing spying on me" he said, as he lept over the "no Ulrich I was just" said Yumi, Ulrich however didn't want to hear it "You're a liar" said Ulrich as he continued to move closer to Yumi "Ulrich cut it out, we're…" started Yumi, but she didn't know what to say "we're what" asked Ulrich, Yumi took a deep breath "together" she said, hoping this would get through to him "that's not what she says" said Ulrich pointing towards Sissi, "you don't care what she says, listen to yourself Ulrich" said Yumi, Ulrich curled his fist, Yumi was now both scarred and worried as she turned around and walked away, she wiped underneath her eye as she felt as if she was going to cry, Ulrich uncurled his fist when suddenly he felt a strong headache overcome him and he found himself in bed with Yumi as he had been when her parents were arguing, he returned back to the present, only to go back even further, to the point that he and Yumi got together, before snapping back again "Ulrich" asked Sissi, as she placed her hand on his arm "are you alright" she added, Ulrich then found himself at another point he was with Yumi in the woods at the time when their relationship was first tested, "well I have till midnight, to give her an answer" said Ulrich, Yumi was happy "we have till then to sort this out then" said Yumi, Ulrich was confused "we?" he asked "yes we, both of us are going to sort this out" she replied, then Ulrich found himself back again, and Sissi pulling him towards the bench "come sit down you need to rest" said Sissi as she tried handing him the cookie "I'm sorry but what I need is to be alone" said Ulrich as he pulled his arm free and started to walk away.
=================================================================================================
Inside the main building the infirmary was packed full of people who were in the same condition as Ulrich having fainted and unable to remember a thing, among the victims was Jim
"the answer is no" said the nurse as she walked towards some of the beds "can't you see I have no time, I don't know what's happening but it's an epidemic" said the nurse as she walked over towards Jim and felt his temperature, "we can stay and help if you want" said Jeremie, the nurse turned around "no, if this is an epidemic it's best as few people come into contact as possible" said the nurse then Jeremie, Odd and Dallas moved out of the room as the nurse shut the door "Maybe Yumi had more luck" said Odd as they stopped at the entrance to the building "any ideas Dallas" asked Jeremie, Dallas didn't say a thing, he stared blankly out the door, when Yumi came running up towards them, "no doubt about it Ulrich's got amnesia, I thought he was goanna slug me just now" said Yumi, "it's a real epidemic according to the nurse" said Odd, Jeremie thought for a moment "you don't just catch amnesia it's not contagious, something's really weird" said Jeremie, Odd looked at him "we'd better ask a Doctor about it" he said, Jeremie thought personally he didn't think it was such a good idea, then it hit him as soon as Odd said "too bad Nano doctors don't exist yet", Jeremie looked at him "Nano Doctor, now I understand" said Jeremie, before he rushed off the others ran after him.
=================================================================================================
Dallas Quickly kicked opened the locked door, the warriors noticed Mrs Hertz slumped over the desk; Dallas quickly placed his hand on her neck, Jeremie looked at the knocked over science equipment, Mrs Hertz had started to move the gel from the bowl but was hit by the effects, and quickly locked the door to stop it spreading
"Mrs Hertz" said Yumi as she was about to place her hand on the teacher, Dallas grunt and signalled for her not to, Jeremie quickly took a fresh glass slide and scooped up a small amount of the gel, before taking it over towards the microscope, whilst Hertz came to "where am I" she asked, Dallas pulled her back into her chair, "you'll be alright" said Yumi, whilst Jeremie inspected the image on the screen "it's the gelation from this morning" said Odd, as he noticed some strange anomaly's on the screen, Jeremie zoomed in to show a microscopic bug, that had the unmistakeable logo of XANA on It, the warriors were left open mouth, "what are those ugly creatures" asked Odd, Jeremie looked at the others "just what I was afraid off, their Nano virus and XANA must have created them to attack memory cells" he replied, Yumi knew what had overcome Ulrich and looked back towards Jeremie "that means that it is contagious" she said, "Like all virus, you can catch it from food, contact, sneezing soon the whole school will be infected, including us" said Jeremie, Odd couldn't believe what he was hearing "a world without memory" he said, "under XANA's control" added Yumi, before shuddering at the thought, "let's go to the factory fast, Aelita must be in danger on Lyoko" said Jeremie, then they started to walk out of the room, "and Ulrich, we're goanna need him" said Odd, as Dallas and Jeremie left the room, Yumi stopped and turned around just as she exited the room "no Odd it's Ulrich who needs our help, he can only get well if we deactivate the tower" said Yumi, who was nearly in tears but didn't show it, "Yumi's right besides if he can't remember anything he can't be off much use to us" added Jeremie, Odd quickly nodded his head before looking back at Mrs Hertz, "but don't you think we should get him anyway" he asked, as they carried on walking "maybe but we don't have time" said Jeremie, then for the first time in a while Dallas spoke up "I'll go" his voice quiet and barely understandable, he walked down the hall ahead of the others "how long has he been like that again" asked Yumi, Jeremie looked at her "I don't know" he replied.
=================================================================================================
On the other side of campus Ulrich was walking through the empty dorm building corridor, several bags and pieces of paper littered the floor, it was close to abandoned, the former occupants had either succumb to the amnesia or had fled hoping to get away, Ulrich looked around before stopping a blonde kid who was shorter than he was wearing brown pants and a red hoodie, Ulrich blocked the kid with his right arm
"excuse me is my room around here" asked Ulrich, the kid was confused and scared "has everyone gone crazy around here, third door on the right" he said before running off with his sack over his bag, Ulrich looked as he ran off, before he moved off towards his room, quickly finding it he opened the door, the first thing he noticed was Kiwi, he kneeled down as the mutt recognized him "I don't know who you are but it seems we're friends" he said as he stroked the dog, he stood up again before looking around the room, he looked at the desk, seeing several photos of him and the other warriors, quickly picking them up he sat down on his bed and examined them, whilst down the hall Dallas walked along looking for Ulrich, he heard some rummaging coming from his room, he turned and kicked down the door, to see Herb and Adam rummaging through everything, Dallas noticed as Adam had his jacket and wings on, he quickly raised his crossbow, Herb fell backwards as he was now scarred for his life, "whoa calm down man, you can have what you want" said Adam, as he looked at the bolt "that's my jacket" said Dallas as he pulled both the wings and jacket off at once, again his voice was barely understandable "you can have more than a jack…" started Adam, but Dallas dropped the crossbow and punched him in the stomach before completing his usual attire, Herb looked at Adam, before helping him up and out of the room, Dallas then grabbed his crossbow and walked towards Ulrich's room, and opening the door "what do you want" asked Ulrich, Dallas walked over towards him and grabbed him before pulling him out of the room "calm down" said Ulrich, as he forced himself out of Dallas grasp, as they reached the stairs Ulrich stopped unsure of what was going on "where are we going" asked Ulrich, Dallas didn't respond as he carried on down the stairs, "are you going to answer me or what" said Ulrich as he followed, Dallas stopped and turned around to look at him "I'm getting bored shirtless of your yabber" said Dallas as he pointed at Ulrich, who was confused by his manner of speech, whilst outside the others were quickly running towards the sewer entrance, they passed Millie and Tamiya who had succumb to the disease
"Not a minute to lose" said Yumi as they ran on.
=================================================================================================
Dallas led Ulrich out of the dorm building, the latter holding his head due to more and more pain building up inside, Dallas looked around the area, Ulrich stepped forward lowering his hand and looking at the people who remained
"what's going on around here" he asked, Dallas looked back at him "don't even bother, I can't work out what you're saying" said Ulrich, Dallas looked forward before he muttered "ratbag", then Delmas walked passed, he moaned as he stumbled and fell to the ground, suddenly Ulrich fell against one of the pillars and suddenly had a flash back he found himself with Yumi during the teddy bear attack, and several times after that after they had started dating "I'm really glad that you came, thanks Ulrich you know how to cheer someone up" said Yumi, then he came to being carried over Dallas's shoulder.
=================================================================================================
Odd, Yumi and Jeremie arrived at the sewer entrance and opened it before descending; they then found their mode of transport and began to move towards the factory, upon arriving at the ladder that lead to the factory they quickly ran towards the entrance, before sliding down the ropes and into the elevator where Yumi pressed the button allowing the grate to close and the elevator descend, before stopping at the computer room where Jeremie quickly exited and walked over towards the chair, the elevator descended again
"Aelita" said Jeremie, as he loaded the screen allowing Aelita's window to open "I haven't seen anything to worry about, in either the dessert or the forest sectors" said Aelita, Jeremie quickly typed "Okay head over to the mountain sector, I'll send Yumi and Odd to the ice sector, the activated tower has got to be somewhere" said Jeremie, whilst in the forest having let Ulrich off his shoulder Dallas led Ulrich towards the sewer entrance, whilst in the elevator the doors opened to the scanner room "okay ready for the north pole" said Jeremie as the door opened allowing Yumi and Odd to walk towards a scanner, Ulrich looked around the forest as Dallas opened the sewer hatch "…through the tunnel in the park…" said a voice in Ulrich's head, Dallas then started to descend down the ladder, he noticed Ulrich looking around, Ulrich turned around as he heard Dallas whistle and say almost understandable "You" before clicking his finger and pointing at the hatch, Ulrich looked at him so Dallas clicked his fingers again and one more time before Ulrich followed him down into the sewer, whilst in the scanner room Odd and Yumi stepped into a scanner whilst Jeremie said
"10 seconds to transfer time", Odd turned around and the scanner shut "Transfer Odd, Transfer Yumi" said Jeremie as she did the same, he then selected their ID cards "Scanner Odd, Scanner Yumi" he said as they found themselves spin and begin to rise "Virtualization" said Jeremie as Odd and Yumi felt the blast of air sending them to Lyoko, their blue squared outlines appeared before gaining texture before dropping to the ground, Odd stood up and looked around as he noticed what appeared to be an arena with several waterfalls around the inside, "okay take the access on your right" said Jeremie, then Yumi and Odd started running through the archway that lead out of the arena, with Odd exclaiming "yes boss", whilst back in the computer room Jeremie leaned towards the screen "Aelita anything new" said Jeremie, Aelita shook her head "No I haven't been all over yet but still no vibrations" she said, Jeremie looked down "be careful Yumi and Odd are pretty far away" he said as he tried to not to panic.
=================================================================================================
In the sewer Dallas and Ulrich had to walk as Ulrich couldn't remember how to ride his skateboard, Ulrich was still getting flashbacks; he remembered when he was nearly stung to death by bees before he was pulled out of the sewers, Dallas turned back and looked at him, before Ulrich stood up and carried on walking, Ulrich knew he had to trust Dallas even if he didn't remember who he was
"what's with the wings" asked Ulrich, Dallas looked back at him, "it's symbol of who I am" he replied before stopping at the ladder, Dallas pointed at it and Ulrich stepped forward ascending it, Dallas quickly followed
=================================================================================================
on Lyoko Odd and Yumi were running through a tunnel Odd managed to gain some speed and was ahead of Yumi, he exited the tunnel and noticed a Krab standing at the side
"watch out" said Odd, as he jumped forward, unfortunately Yumi didn't receive the message and was struck by a shot from the Krab, causing her to slide across the ground "Yumi you've just lost 20 life points" said Jeremie, Odd had quickly gotten into cover, Yumi quickly stood up and ran into cover "Jeremie we've got a welcoming committee" said Odd, Jeremie looked at the holomap, "just one Krab but it means the activated tower can't be far, I'll warn Aelita" said Jeremie, the Krab advanced on Yumi's hiding position "he's coming towards you Yumi" said Jeremie, Yumi quickly drew her weapon "don't worry he just wants to play hide and seek, playful little beast" said Yumi as she looked up at the ice block she was standing behind.
=================================================================================================
On the factory floor Dallas led Ulrich towards the elevator; however Ulrich was too busy looking at the abandoned factory to pay attention, he then looked at the elevator, he quickly remembered a time when he and the others swung down the rope and into the elevator, he stepped inside and Dallas pressed the button, Ulrich watched in amazement as the door lowered, he quickly remembered Jeremie doing the same as Dallas just did, the elevator stopped and opened, Jeremie turned in his chair
"wow" said Ulrich as he and Dallas stepped forward out of the elevator, "Ulrich" said Jeremie as Ulrich stepped towards him "what am I doing here, what kind'a place is this" asked Ulrich, Jeremie faced the screen "I can't tell you now we've got an emergency" he said, Ulrich stepped towards him "I can't remember anything, but I know I have something important to do here tell me what it is" said Ulrich, Jeremie turned his head and looked at him "well um, sure why not, once you're on Lyoko you'll have to do something amnesia or not" said Jeremie, Ulrich was confused and asked "what's Lyoko", Jeremie turned his head back towards Ulrich "it's a… look see that hatch behind you, you gotta go down one level you'll see a few scanners step into one and follow His's lead and you'll get all the answers you want" replied Jeremie, Ulrich then turned and walked towards the hatch, Dallas followed but stopped as soon as Jeremie said "I know why your like this, I'm sorry" he said, Dallas turned and looked at him, he closed his eyes before turning back and descending down the ladder.
=================================================================================================
Yumi crouched behind the ice rock, the Krab was getting closer to her position, Yumi leaned around the rock, and the Krab noticed her and aimed, Yumi hid back behind the rock, leaving the Krab without a target, it then moved around the rock before firing, Yumi wasn't their it was confused and moved around to inspect the area
"over here" said Yumi, the Krab then looked around side to side, and then it looked up, it noticed Yumi was now standing atop of the rock, Yumi jumped and threw her fan strike the Krab and destroying it "target hit" said Jeremie as the creature exploded, Odd quickly ran over the danger having passed "nice going Yumi" he said, then they looked up as Jeremie said "two things guys, one Aelita is on the other side of the glacier", Odd and Yumi looked at each other "and two" asked Odd, "two, Ulrich and Dallas are on the way" said Jeremie, Odd looked at Yumi now confused "Ulrich, I'll wait for him here" said Odd, then Yumi ran in Aelita's direction "better hurry" she said as she ran away, whilst in the scanner room Ulrich and Dallas stepped into a scanner each "Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Dallas" said Jeremie, then the scanners closed then Jeremie selected their ID cards "Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Dallas" said Jeremie as the Aforementioned felt themselves rise and spin before the blast of air sending them to Lyoko, their blue squared outlines appeared quickly gained texture before dropping to the ground, Dallas landed on his feet, but Ulrich was unaware of the drop landed on backside, he quickly jumped up "ouch" he said, before looking around then above all noticing himself "go after Yumi she needs back up" said Odd, Dallas nodded then ran off after the girls "welcome to the virtual world Ulrich" said Odd, Ulrich turned around upon hearing him, "what is this place, what are we here for" asked Ulrich, Odd smiled and said "to fight of course" Ulrich was confused "to fight" he asked then looked at himself again "I don't know how to fight" he added, Odd knew his friend was dormant inside Ulrich "of course you do, you just forgot, I'll refresh your memory" said Odd, then he jumped and flipped in the air and landed in front of Ulrich, he quickly turned around knocking Ulrich down in the process "Okay come on" said Odd as he jumped onto the next platform and running off back in the direction of the arena.
=================================================================================================
Across the sector Yumi was running along a thin ice path with Dallas close behind her Aelita was standing waiting for them
"hello Aelita" said Yumi upon stopping at her, then Dallas caught up with them "I've found the activated tower, we're almost there" said Aelita, then they started running across the path towards the tower.
=================================================================================================
In the Arena Ulrich was swinging his katanna trying to strike Odd, who was dodging all of his swings, either by ducking or jumping
"your just dodging my blows, don't you have any weapons" said Ulrich who then stopped swinging the sword "I have a few arrows, but I'd rather save them for now" said Odd, as he looked at his hands, then he jumped dodging another of Ulrich's swings "and I don't want to hurt you with them either" said Odd, then he ducked as Ulrich swung again "yeah no kidding" said Ulrich the he jumped and flipped over Ulrich before swinging his sword again, Odd jumped avoiding the blow.
=================================================================================================
The others had followed the path which had now ascended from the icy water and was now a bridge that led straight towards the tower and just the tower
"we're almost there" said Aelita, as they got closer and closer towards the tower "yeah seems almost too easy, I have a funny feeling about this" said Yumi, then as soon as she said this three Krabs appeared from thin air their arrival similar to the ones of the arrival of the Lyoko warriors, "I'm sick of always being right" said Yumi, then two more Krabs appeared behind them boxing them in, "hang in their I'll try and send you reinforcements" said Jeremie as he looked at the screen "first let's get rid of two of them" said Aelita, before she dropped to her knees and started to sing, suddenly an ice wall appeared between the warriors and the Krabs "hurry it won't last long" said Aelita, Yumi then threw one of her fans towards one of the Krabs, it bounced of its Armor, angered by this the Krab fired at them.
=================================================================================================
Odd continued to dodge the blows that Ulrich continued to launch at him, each more predictable than the next, Ulrich stopped momentarily
"you should save your strength, your goanna need it" said Odd, Ulrich swung his sword again causing Odd to jump to the side "why are there other levels" asked Ulrich as he walked towards Odd sword in hand "I like it here, it's a video game but for real" he added, Jeremie couldn't believe what he was hearing "yeah but now it's time to stop" said Jeremie, Ulrich then stopped attacking Odd "the other's need you" said Jeremie, Ulrich then looked around "huh who said that" he asked, Odd then started running towards the exit of the arena, "Jeremie come on" said Odd as he ran off, Ulrich turned and watched him "hey wait, we haven't finished the game" he exclaimed, then he started running after Odd who had exited the arena.
=================================================================================================
One of the Krabs was struggling to decided which target to shoot at being that there were three to choice from, it looked around
"Got a real Dropkick here" said Dallas, then he drew his tomahawk before twirling it around his hand, Yumi then drew her own weapon and jumped at one of the Krabs, it noticed and shot at her "again, Yumi be careful, you've only got a few life points left" said Jeremie, Yumi quickly jumped up and destroyed the Krab above her, by slicing through it "nice going Yumi" said Jeremie, Dallas then quickly ran towards another Krab and jumped throwing his tomahawk at the Krab striking it dead centre, landing on top he quickly pulled it out and jumped backwards of the creature, "One to go" said Yumi, suddenly there was a cracking sound Aelita turned round "Hurry, the walls not going to last" she said, then the last Krab aimed at Aelita ready to fire, but Dallas quickly jumped at Aelita covering her with his body, the first shot destroyed his crossbow, this gave Yumi enough time to throw her fan at the Krab distracting it for the moment, whilst down the path Odd was running towards the main action, when suddenly Ulrich tackled him to the ground
"there I win the game" said Ulrich as he held Odd by the neck ready to strike him with his katana, "yeah but you beat an ally" said Odd, Ulrich stopped "what" he asked then Odd pointed forward towards the main action "now that you know who your friends are it's time to meet your enemy's" he said, then Ulrich looked up to see the Krabs "enemies what enemies" he asked, Odd quickly moved out from underneath him "their Krabs monsters created by XANA" said Odd, then he realised something "I can't explain now, the other need our help and right now" said Odd, Ulrich stood up and sheathed his sword before he and Odd ran towards the others, the Krabs then destroyed the ice wall, Dallas turned around before running towards the others, one of the Krabs noticed Dallas and fired at him, but he slid to his knees towards the Odd and Ulrich, "to get rid of them you have to hit the thing on their shell that looks like an eye" said Odd, Ulrich looked at him then at Dallas as they stopped moving "and what do I call you" he asked, Dallas turned and looked at him pulling down his hood "does it matter" he asked, as he inspected the hidden gun attachment "okay when I shout fool you attack" said Ulrich, Dallas looked back at him, Ulrich then jumped at one of the Krabs landing on top of it, he was about to strike it but was thrown from the top then he shouted "FOOL" Dallas then jumped up extended his left arm before firing the hidden gun destroying the Krab, the second Krab then moved forward towards Aelita and charged it's shot, Odd quickly jumped into the air exclaiming "laser arrow" firing the numerous arrows into the Krab, unfortunately Odd was slightly off target and failed to destroy it, Yumi looked back at the ensuring chaos, but was struck down by the third Krab and DE virtualized, Ulrich then blocked a few shots from the Krab "what happened to her" he asked as he continued to block shots "nothing serious, we've gotta protect Aelita" said Odd, Ulrich then turned his attention towards Aelita as the Krab backed her towards the edge of the platform "I'll take care of it" said Ulrich as he spun his sword around in his hand, whilst in the lab Yumi had ascended from the ladder and had walked over to Jeremie "it's good to see Ulrich with his memory back again" she said, Jeremie turned and looked at her "your wrong, he's still got amnesia" replied Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko Ulrich charged at the Krab with his katana, he quickly swung taking the back legs of the creature causing it to fall backwards, it fired it's shot too late causing it to topple over and nearly crush Ulrich, but he used his sword and struck the creature in the XANA logo, destroying it "thanks for clearing the passage" said Aelita as she ran towards the tower, Dallas and Odd quickly destroyed the remaining Krab, "huh, she's leaving" said Ulrich as he watched Aelita run towards the tower, "uh not exactly total recall" said Jeremie, as Aelita passed through the tower wall, she walked towards the centre platform and began to levitate towards the top platform, where the blue screen appeared and she placed her hand on it, the word Aelita was typed in, "is that it no other players" asked Ulrich, Odd smiled and said "no that's it we can go home now, the games over", Ulrich was confused "huh but how" he asked, Odd winked and said "Magic watch" then the words CODE LYOKO were typed in, the blue screens that surrounded the tower walls began to descend into the black void below, "Return to the past now" said Jeremie as he hit the enter key…
=================================================================================================
Jeremie wanted to confront Dallas and decided he needed backup so asked Ulrich to come along, they followed the path in the woods
"why do we need to do this now" asked Ulrich as he and Jeremie found an open area in the forest "Dallas are you here" shouted Jeremie, Ulrich looked around the bushes, then he found Dallas sitting on a log, his jacket and wings on the stock of his crossbow which was propped against the log, "Dallas we need to talk" said Jeremie as he stepped towards Dallas, "Dallas what happened" asked Ulrich, Dallas turned around his eyes showed how he had recently been crying "I thought it was bad enough he took her from me" said Dallas his voice returned to normal, but he turned away again, "I don't understand" said Ulrich, then Jeremie handed him the letter Dallas had been given, Ulrich opened it and read it
Dear Mr Marshal
It is with deep regret that during the Autopsy of A. Mathers we found that she was two months pregnant with your child
We would like to express our deepest sympathies for your loss
Ulrich stopped reading he was close to vomiting after reading this, "XANA took my Shelia, and as it fucking turns out he took my fucking Sprog" said Dallas as he cried even further, Ulrich walked over and hugged him, "Dallas calm down it'll be alright" he said, Dallas pulled away "listen I know I'm not your farther…" started Ulrich, Dallas turned and stood up "well don't pretend to be and give me that Crap, I have no-one, my life is just absolute loss" he said, before he broke down again, Ulrich crouched down "listen you don't have family, but that's what friends are for, we're you family now" he said, Jeremie stepped forward, "Dallas don't think you have to face this alone" he said, Dallas looked up at him, before wiping his eyes "come on, let's get you a drink" said Ulrich as he placed his arm around him.
