Authors note
well I've gone over this episode and I'm unable to see how this one is going to turn out.
(=======================================================================)
It was Thursday afternoon and despite knowing for several weeks in advance the warriors were just as happy when they were first told, due to a teacher strike and the fact that Jim was the only member of staff not involved in the strike, the school was going to have a three day weekend, and what was the best was Yumi's family were going away for the duration, the warriors were standing in the main building lessons having finished,
"Three day weekend that's fantastic" said Ulrich as he raised his fist in celebration, "with a little luck I may just have the house to myself" said Yumi, the warriors smiled as Jeremie said "knowing your parents it's not going to be easy", the warriors then walked out of the building with Odd saying "I'm betting on Yumi", Dallas crossed his arms and said "he's right Yumi can be very persuasive".
(=======================================================================)
Later that Night Yumi walked into the kitchen having just gotten off the phone with Ulrich, she looked at her parents as her brother Hiroki was asleep upstairs,
"I didn't tell you but I've gotta of homework this weekend, of course I'll look after the place" said Yumi then she placed her hands on her fathers shoulders, "and if you've got nothing against it I'd like to have a little gathering" she added, her parents looked at each other, "Gathering to do homework together, or to wreck the living room" said Takeho, Yumi panicked slightly, "well go on answer your father" said Akiko as she crossed her arms, "well I thought I'd invite my friends over for a quiet evening at home" said Yumi, Takeho wasn't overly convinced "you mean those four clowns" he said, Yumi was outraged at the comment and said "but daddy you hardly even know them", luckily for her Akiko was more lenient, "they seem nice enough, except that one with the crossbow, me and your father have had trouble with people like him before you know Yumi" she said, Takeho nodded in agreement, "I wish you'd trust me a little more" said Yumi, her parents knew they'd lost the battle this time, "okay they can come" said her father as he stood up, "that is so great, you won't regret it you'll see" said Yumi, as she kissed her father on the cheek, before doing the same to her mother, "you are the greatest" said Yumi as she walked out of the room, "have a nice weekend" she added, whilst back in the kitchen, Takeho put his bowl in the sink "I have that feeling again" he said, his wife laughed and replied sarcastically "oh your premonition", Takeho looked back at her and said "I can't shake it, for all I know it could be as mild as the one with the crossbow, smashing the glass table or something as extreme as that other one with the brown hair being the death of me", his wife laughed "oh come on it's just you not being ready to what your daughter grow up" she said, Takeho hummed as if he was disagreeing with her.
(=======================================================================)
The next day many of the border students were leaving with their packed bags as they were heading home for the weekend, whilst Yumi walked towards the other warriors who were hanging around the vending machines,
"Hey I've got great news guys this weekend we've got the house to ourselves" said Yumi, Odd and Ulrich cheered, whilst Jeremie was excited but didn't show it because of Lyoko trouble, and Dallas was against the wall half asleep again, "You did it then" said Ulrich, Yumi nodded and said "we better get organized", Ulrich smiled and said "No problem" then they looked at Dallas, Odd quickly inserted a quarter into the vending machine and selected Coffee, "he's been like that for a few days" said Odd as he handed Dallas the cup, Dallas quickly downed it waking himself up, then Yumi turned her attention towards Jeremie, "anything wrong Jeremie" she asked, Jeremie didn't look away from his blank stare, "I'm tryna localise Lyoko, it shouldn't take this much time" replied Jeremie, "don't worry Jeremie if there's a problem Aelita can always contact you" said Yumi trying to cheer him up, but it didn't work very well "yeah we can always hope" he replied dismally.
(=======================================================================)
After cheering their friend up the warriors walked Yumi to the front gate,
"Okay so we have the plan, but how do we stop Sissi from coming, would break my heart if she didn't show up, she'd bring some terrible music" said Ulrich, Dallas nodded his head at that remark, "god she bring twiddle dumb and dumber, and the moron himself and his music would be mine, but stolen" said Dallas, the group chuckled, "just leave the music to me, wait and see what I've got in store for you, we're gonna have a real DJ guys, you'll see no dumb music for us, we're gonna rock" said Odd, the group looked at each other in agreement in a rare instance they put their faith in Odd, "okay great we'll go shopping later" said Yumi, Jeremie nodded and said "okay in the mean time I'm gonna try and contact Aelita and tell her to be careful tonight you never know".
(=======================================================================)
The school was deserted, the classes were empty, the cafeteria was empty, even Delmas's office was empty, and the only place that wasn't empty was the corridor that led to the warriors rooms, standing at one end was Odd and Jeremie, whilst at the other was Ulrich, two sheets of paper were on the floor, whilst a shoe in another area, Odd was on the phone to Yumi saying,
"and now it's time for Ulrich to get ready and enter the starting block, The tensions are high ladies and gentleman as he zeros in on his objective the time keeper is about to signal the departure" said Odd, then Jeremie raised his hand and said "bang" as he made a shooting motion with his hand, Ulrich started to run down the corridor, "and he's off and running, what grace, what agility and what great speed he's got, Ulrich centred in on the shoe, "and here we go he's ready for the sliding phase" said Odd as Ulrich stopped moving his legs and began to slide across the floor, he was crouched with his arms trailing behind him, "what perfect Knew coordination" said Odd, then Ulrich approached the two white sheets of paper, "ready stop" said Odd, but Ulrich passed them disappointing Odd, "oh, he beat me" said a disappointed Odd, "really he beat you, Ulrich went further than you" said Yumi, Ulrich stood up straight, "well then how far did I make out" he said as Jeremie walked towards him with another sheet of paper and placed it at his feet, "a new dorm record" said Jeremie then they turned around as they heard Jim say "what's all this racket about", Odd quickly held his phone to his ear, "Gotta hang up, secret code big fat clown" said Odd, "gotcha okay talk to you guys later" said Yumi as Odd hung up and placed his phone in his pocket, "come on Jim, we're just a little board there's nothing to do here" said Ulrich, Jim rubbed his chin "you really don't get it, every long weekend you kids stay in school you never go anywhere, and for once if you guys took a vacation I'd have some peace and quiet" said Jim, Odd smiled and said "That just goes to show you how much we love this place", Jim was unconvinced "oh yeah I bet that's because at home your parents are sick of you" he said then realised it was a bit harsh, "I'm sorry" he added then he walked away, "your turn Odd" said Ulrich, Odd quickly looked at his watch " we better hurry huh" said Odd, then he ran to the other end of the corridor Jeremie raised his arm again and said "bang", Odd started running towards the shoe upon reaching it he tried sliding on just his left foot but lost balance almost instantly and tumbled to the ground, "you okay Odd" asked Jeremie, Odd quickly adjusted himself "hey didn't I beat the record" he asked, then Ulrich noticed a photo on the floor, he picked it up, the picture showed an African-French girl with black hair and two read streaks either side of her head, "Is this your surprise disc jockey huh" said Ulrich, Odd quickly noticed the photo had fallen out of his pocket, "you… you mean you don't recognize her, she goes to school here" said Odd almost as if he was in a hurry, "her names Samantha, see you later I've got some work to do" added Odd as he walked away, "you're not going to introduce us to her" said Ulrich, Odd looked back at him suspiciously, "hang on where's Dallas" asked Ulrich, Jeremie smiled and answered "he said he had something to practice".
(=======================================================================)
Yumi sat around her house waiting for her parents to leave, they should have left 30 minutes ago, but it was the same old story of her mother looking for a dress, that her father didn't even know she owned, suddenly she heard her parents shout,
"By Yumi well be home on Monday" Yumi stood at her bedroom window and watched as the car drove off down the street, she quickly yelled with joy, a weekend with her friends and most importantly her boyfriend, she knew how Ulrich felt and despite the recent blow out, the two had come back stronger, Yumi looked in the mirror, and despite the fact she was alone for the next few hours, she looked around before removing her jumper and trousers, she stood there looking at herself in the mirror, she had by no means the worst body out there, constant silat training and the fact she was growing allowed her body to take on both an attractive and physically fit shape, she smiled and hoped Ulrich would like it, she knew he was too young to do anything, she wasn't desperate, but she was planning to ask him on there one year anniversary, "what am I worrying about" she said as she walked over to her bed, "I mean I've got no competition for anyone, Sissi is no where near as attractive" added Yumi as she turned on her radio and lying down on her bed.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas stood atop of the dorm building; Jim hadn't noticed him take the storage window atop of the building, he put on some leather fingerless gloves, he dropped to his knee and tightened his boots, then tightened his wrist blades, he took in a deep breath, before running towards the end of the roof, he ran off the roof but as he took his feet of the building he turned and grabbed the window frame on the next story below, and despite this still being the second floor, he quickly pushed away with his feet doing a back flip before landing on his feet, and almost instantly he turned and ran quickly jumping onto a bench and ran across the arm rest either side before jumping onto the vending machine building, grabbing the roof with his fingers he then used his feet to propel himself onto the roof before he kept moving until he jumped down, in the air he crossed his arms so as his hands touched the other shoulder, his legs still out he twisted his body as he was in the air, before landing on the ground with a roll, he kept running before moving towards the main building class rooms, he looked towards he'd left a window open, still running he jumped raising his legs and spreading his arms and jumping through the window, he landed on the table adjacent to the window before running across the tables, approaching the wall he quickly raised his foot out and instead of kicking off of it he placed his other foot on the wall and briefly ran across it before landing on another table and running across before jumping out the window through the window again with a front flip and landing in a crouched position with his hands either side of his legs, he stood up looking back at his path, he smiled wiping the sweat from his head before pushing his fringe forward, he looked at his watch, he had just made it the CCTV cameras switched back on,
"Gotta work on that a bit more" said Dallas, then he took the easier route back up into the dorm rooms, he then noticed something outside the science building, he widened his eyes and everything darkened, several trails appeared on the ground some gold, some red, the figure in the distance was blue, no trouble, Dallas smiled and everything turned back to normal as he climbed the stairs.
(=======================================================================)
Having Joined Jeremie inside their room Dallas took of his upper body clothing to allow some air to his body, whilst Jeremie sat at his computer trying to connect to Lyoko,
"I don't believe it, that's the fifth time I've launched the localisation program" said Jeremie, Dallas looked towards him, "I bet not even XANA knew that tampering with the supercomputer directly would fuck it up" said Dallas, Jeremie shook his head, "the network must really be blocked I can't get in contact with Lyoko" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled and opened the floor board and grabbing a multi tool, "what are you doing" asked Jeremie, Dallas smiled and went underneath the desk, "lets see if I can't un block the connection" said Dallas.
(=======================================================================)
Odd walked up towards the science building, Samantha was standing there looking through the fence that over saw the pitch, she was wearing a charcoal shirt that stopped just bellow her navel and a short skirt that resembled a kilt, and underneath that black trousers
"Hello" said Odd, she turned around and said "hi" as if she wasn't as excited as Odd was seeing her, Odd placed his hand to his mouth and cleared his throat before leaning in and kissing her, and whilst he had his eyes closed, she had hers wide open, "did you have any trouble getting in" said Odd, "no trouble the gates were really easy to climb" she said almost as if she didn't want to talk, "when can you show me what you're gonna do" asked Odd, suddenly Samantha seemed more interested, "when I'm finished I wanna add a little more stuff, but I haven't found anything I like yet" she replied, Odd smiled and said "you should try vinyl records, there's a lot of cool stuff on vinyl, if you want I can lend you some", but she seemed to lash out at him saying "can we stop talking about music, we got better things to do dontcha think, are you ready for a big thrill session", Odd blushed and was confused at what she meant "yeah I guess" he replied, Samantha then took Odd by the hand and led him away.
(=======================================================================)
Back in there room, Jeremie was observing the screen, whilst Dallas was under the table working on the connection box, that he and Jeremie built after discovering Lyoko, it was designed to connect to the super computer and allowed for detecting the activated towers and to contact Aelita, but when they once tried to remotely operate the scanners as a test, they caused a nation wide black out, Jeremie was annoyed at the constant trouble, then he typed something
"I think this time we got it" said Jeremie, then he turned on his mike, "Aelita do you read me, Aelita" he said, Dallas quickly plugged in two wires than slammed the small hatch shut "right that should do it" he said, then to Jeremie's joy, Aelita's window opened, "hello Jeremie how are you" she said, Jeremie sighed with relief as Dallas moved out from underneath the desk, "sorry Aelita been having such a tough time" Said Jeremie as he sank into his chair, "why" she asked, Jeremie rolled his eyes and said "Because we've been having a difficult time trying to contact Lyoko", Dallas grabbed his jumper "well considering XANA's last attack messed with the system I'm not surprised" said Aelita then the two heard a knocking on the door, "it's open" said Dallas as he pulled his jumper over his head, Ulrich entered the room saying "hey Jeremie you feel like playing some chess, Jeremie nodded and said, "be there in a second".
(=======================================================================)
Odd and Samantha exited the Toilets with Odd pulling up his fly's on his trousers and Samantha pulling her shirt down over her head,
"Now that we've done that" said Samantha, Odd looked at her mesmerized slightly, "where do they keep the laptops" she added, Odd snapped out of his trance, "oh over here" said Odd as he led her down the corridor to the computer storage room, whilst many would expect it to hold old computers from the late 90's covered in cob webs, it was actually modern, it had several laptops and several modern and updated computers, Odd opened the Laptop tray and pulled out one, "Wow, what kind of powers this one got" asked Samantha as Odd placed it out on the desk, "oh I don't know 6 GB" he said, Samantha then closed it "hey cut it out put that down you hear, what are you doing" asked Odd as Samantha started to take the laptop, "If I'm gonna make music, I'm gonna need a powerful computer but I'm broke so I have no choice but to rip this one off" said Samantha, Odd realised what was going on, "your schools insured so everybody's happy right" added Samantha, Odd decided to man up, "wrong insurance or not stealing is a crime, and I won't let you" said Odd, Samantha reached into her back pocket, but then he placed his hand over her mouth "shh" he said, Samantha shoved the laptop to his chest and ducked behind the desk, Jim walked into the room to see only Odd holding a laptop, "I would never have believed it of you Odd, and trust me I don't want to" said Jim as he believed Odd was stealing the laptop "I wasn't going to steal it Jim I swear" said Odd, Jim stepped into the room, "what were you going to do with it then" asked Jim, Odd was speechless he didn't want to say he was helping someone take it from off campus, "you've got some explaining to do" said Jim as he escorted Odd out of the room, he locked the door behind him, and locking Samantha in the room, "follow me" said Jim.
(=======================================================================)
"Check mate" said Jeremie as he took Ulrich's king using his own, "can I try beating you at Karate" asked Ulrich as it was his 5th defeat in a row, then he looked away to see Jim escorting Odd, "what you looking at" said Dallas as he looked up from the other side of the bench, then he noticed Odd, "what's he done this time" asked Dallas as he leaned forward grabbing his crossbow, "I dunno but it looks like Trouble" said Ulrich, they quickly followed Jim and Odd into the main building, Jim had tried to enter the main office but the door was locked so he settled on the secretary's office, "well Odd this time you're in one hell of a jam" said Jim, Odd remained speechless, the others walked up to the door, "caught in the act of stealing school property isn't like not doing your homework" said Jim, the others were shocked at the accusation that had befallen Odd, "listen Jim" said Jeremie as he opened the door and he and the others walked in "what the" said Jim, "this is crazy, whenever Odd needs a computer I lend him mine, I've done it lots of times, go on tell him Odd" said Jeremie standing up for his friend, "yeah well this time I needed a really powerful laptop and that one was just perfect" said Odd cobbling together a bad excuse, Dallas shook his head knowing that he was lying, "and why didn't you ask permission to borrow it, it appears to me that would be a lot more simple" said Jim, Odd couldn't bring himself to look Jim in the eye and said "well I was afraid that you would say no", Jim slammed his fist into the desk "what do you think I am an idiot, I want the damn truth now" said Jim as he stood up, Odd said nothing, "you stole it didn't you, this time it's the school disciplinary counsel, and you might just get expelled" said Jim knowing that this was quite lenient for the serious offence Odd was being accused off, "no wait you can't do that to me Jim" said Odd, then his phone started ringing, he didn't answer it, "the use of cell phones is prohibited in this building" said Jim, Dallas quickly expanded his eyes in an attempt to trace the signal, Odd pulled it out and answered it, but Jim quickly took it saying "confiscated".
(=======================================================================)
On Lyoko Aelita was walking in the mountain sector, when suddenly she felt Vibrations she knelt down to feel them, she quickly climbed to higher ground, luckily for her she could now see the activated tower,
"Jeremie I've spotted an activated tower, Jeremie XANA has launched an attack" said Aelita, but there was no response then she screamed "JEREMIE ANSWER ME" but again there was no response, whilst back at the school several dome lights that had recently been installed in the school grounds began to flash, suddenly they began to leak a black sludge into the grass below it, suddenly smoke began to arise, whilst in the science building Samantha was trying to open the door and get out of the building.
(=======================================================================)
On the pitch the warriors were surprising calm, even though Odd had been accursed of stealing
"come on tell us what happened, come on Odd" said Jeremie, Odd started to walk away "I've got nothing else to say, I'll see you later I've got something else to do, alone" he said, then he stopped as all four of them noticed the dirt around each of the buildings melt, "You see what I see" said Odd, the other nodded, "XANA" said Odd, then the buildings began to slowly sink "hey they're getting really deep, soon they'll be all swallowed up" said Jeremie, Ulrich pulled out his phone and phoned Yumi, "XANA has launched an attack" said Ulrich, "okay I'll see you at the factory" said Yumi as she hung up, she quickly scrambled to her feet and grabbed her clothes putting them on, whilst in the computer storage room, Samantha was sitting down having given up trying to open the door, she was angry not only was she likely to be busted for breaking into the school but for trying to steal a laptop, back outside Jeremie, Dallas and Ulrich started to move towards the factory but they stopped as Odd said "hold it, I can't go with you now, Samantha's locked in the science buildings computer room", the others realised what Odd had been doing "okay lets go back to the beginning to make sure you haven't lost us" said Jeremie, Odd took a deep breath "she's the one who stole the computer, I tried to stop her, but she's already got a lotta problems at her school, so I couldn't tell Jim" said Odd, the others looked at each other, "no matter what happened we have to get her out of there" said Ulrich, Jeremie nodded and said "I'll run over and meet Yumi at the lab", then he shot off "step number one we pay a visit to the gym" said Ulrich, Dallas looked at the buildings "better hurry those things have maybe got an hour tops" he said, Ulrich nodded in agreement, "lets hope we're the only ones in school" he added.
(=======================================================================)
What they had forgotten was Jim despite being a member of staff lived on school grounds in the dorm building, he was in his room which wasn't much bigger than the students rooms, he was listening to Eye of the tiger very loudly on his speakers whilst lifting some very heavy weights, he was sweating buckets as his veins on his arms looked like they were going to burst, meanwhile Jeremie entered the Gym tunnel entrance and quickly ran down the stairs before he grabbed his scoter and made his way to the factory, whilst back in the Gym Dallas, Ulrich and Odd opened a cupboard
"must be in here" said Ulrich as they gazed upon some rope, "bingo" said Ulrich as Dallas grabbed the rope and placed it around his shoulder, they quickly exited the building and rushed over towards the main building, "Where do we go now" asked Odd, Ulrich looked up "the top floor" he said as Dallas turned to his side and curled into a fetal position and jumped through a window as the door was already obscured, he quickly stood up as the other jumped in avoiding the broken glass, "run" said Dallas as the mud began to seep into the room , he quickly shut the door behind them, "that won't hold long" said Odd, Dallas turned around and said, "lets not hang around then", then they noticed the science building's 2nd floor had been engulfed by the ground, this floor included the computer storage room, the warriors found a window with a clear view of the science building at the top of the main building, "Now what it's a least a 20 metre drop from here" said Odd, Ulrich looked at him and said "make sure the rope is attached securely".
(=======================================================================)
"Connection" said Jeremie as he pressed enter and began to connect to Lyoko via the main system, "Jeremie, you're there at last, XANA's activated a tower" said Aelita almost immediately as her window opened up, "that's what we thought, we've already seen the effect" said Jeremie, then Yumi arrived in the elevator, "Jeremie I saw the school and how screwed it is" said Yumi, Jeremie nodded "I'm working on getting the coordinates for the tower now" he replied.
(=======================================================================)
Back at the school Ulrich one piece of rope to a broom stick having removed the broom off the end, he then threw it out of the window towards the science building, he missed the window and it fell into the mud below which had become less solid and was more like a liquid now,
"Shit" said Odd, as they looked down as the rope was dragged with it taking a section of the window with it, "now what" asked Ulrich, then the two noticed Dallas tie it to a radiator "what are you doing" asked Odd, Dallas smiled and tie the other end around himself, "if you'll excuse me" he said as he ran and jumped through the window with such force that he almost flew through the air without eagle sense he quickly curled into a fetal position again as he smashed through a window in the science building, "you're good" shouted Dallas, he then pulled the rope until it was now straight and tightened, before he tied it to another radiator, Ulrich climbed onto the rope and said "okay here we go", he then started to move along the rope into the next building, Odd quickly followed along, "quick the stairs" said Odd, the others nodded and quickly rushed towards them.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi had taken the elevator to the scanner room and was standing in front of one of the scanners,
"Yumi you're off to the mountain sector, but be careful the landing may be rough" said Jeremie, then Yumi stepped forward and turned around "Transfer Yumi" said Jeremie as he selected her ID card, "Scanner Yumi" added Jeremie as she began to spin and rise, "virtualization" finished Jeremie, as Yumi felt the blast of air, Yumi's blue squared outline appeared in the sky as normal, except this time she landed in the sky, she began to fall towards one of the platforms except this one was one of the levitating sections that would fall and rise, Aelita turned back to see her just grab hold of the edge of the platform.
(=======================================================================)
"heeeey, let me out of here" said Samantha as she screamed for help, "LET ME OUTTA HERE" she screamed again, the noise echoed throughout the building as the warriors ran down the stairs, "lets hope they don't get there two late" said Odd as they ran down another flight of stairs, Samantha had really started to panic "I gotta get out, I gotta get out" she repeated to herself as she had began to retract into a panicked state, "Samantha" said Odd as they arrived at the computer storage room, "don't worry Sam, we're gonna get you out" said Odd then he grabbed the door handle, he remember it was still locked, "Dallas pick the lock" said Odd, "no time" said Dallas as he kicked in the door, "are you okay" said Odd, Samantha stood there looking at the warriors, Dallas's eyes shot open, Samantha started to run towards Odd to hug him, "get away from her" said Dallas as he raised his crossbow towards Samantha, "Dallas what're dong" asked Odd as he backed away, despite the threat he knew Dallas was deadly serious "she's a thief Odd, I saw her once before, before I came here I spotted her going through my possessions in the woods" said Dallas as he grabbed Samantha by the arm whilst holding the crossbow towards her, "Dallas can you be sure it's the same person" asked Ulrich, Dallas then rolled up Samantha's trouser leg, and showed a scar "I wondered where that had come from" said Odd, Dallas then pushed her in front of him as they walked towards the stair case, "she got caught in one of my traps I traced the blood but not very far" said Dallas, Odd looked at Samantha and said "is this true", Samantha was the first on the stair case, "no Odd why would you believe this lunatic" she replied, Odd was slightly conflicted about who to believe, "that lunatic happens to be one of my best frie… he's like family to me" said Odd, Dallas smiled before signalling her to go forward with his crossbow, Samantha climbed the stairs but stopped at the next floor, "you're not gonna shoot me" said Samantha, Dallas looked back at Ulrich and Odd, before turning back and saying "three" Samantha laughed and said "like I said, you won't shoot", Dallas smiled and replied "in two seconds you're gonna get quite a shock" Samantha carried on climbing the stair case, before they carried on climbing until the top floor, "we're gonna need to wait until the building is level with another one otherwise we're gonna get swallowed up" said Ulrich, the others nodded in agreement before Dallas pushed Samantha against the wall and said "sit down", he walked over to Odd, "listen I don't want to have to do this, but she's a thief and using you" he said, Odd looked back at her then realised something "so that's why" he said, Ulrich looked back at Samantha and said "that's why what" as he walked over and repeated the question, Samantha pulled out her phone, "on here are pictures of me and Odd fu…" started Samantha, but Dallas already knowing what she was going to say grabbed her phone and snapped it in half, "hey that's my phone" she said Dallas looked back at her and said "it was your phone", before he threw it out the window, "there no bargains" he said.
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko, Aelita had backtracked to the platform Yumi was on and helped her up onto the platform saying,
"Yumi give me your hand" Yumi quickly placed one of her hands in Aelita's and then the latter helped her up onto the platform "thank you Aelita we got here just in time" said Yumi, Aelita smiled and turned around pointing towards the tower and saying, "Better hurry, XANA's monsters aren't here yet, but they're bound to come" said Aelita, then the two started moving across the rotating platforms "the tower isn't too far from here" said Aelita as she jumped onto the next platform, "well this promises to be an entertaining stroll" said Yumi, whilst back In Jim's room he was still working out and listening to 'eye of the tiger',
"I've loved this song ever since I first heard it in 81" said Jim as he moved up from his press ups, he then heard something fail to hold as if it was about to break, "what's going on" he said as he looked at the window to see the ground had reached his window, suddenly it smashed, he quickly grabbed his jacket and as the mud began to flow into the room he reached for the door only to remember he'd locked it, he reached for the key only to knock it into the mud, Jim Panicked as he was now unable to find the key, he quickly jumped into his closet as the mud had not yet reached it and closed the door, back on Lyoko Aelita and Yumi jumped onto a non moving platform,
"We're almost there" said Aelita as the tower was now clearly in sight, then they suddenly heard Jeremie say "Watch out, three Hornets heading your way" said Jeremie, The three Hornets zeroed in on Aelita and Yumi, they moved from behind the tower, Yumi stepped in front of Aelita and expanded her fan saying, "stay behind me Aelita", The Hornets fired a barrage of three lasers, two missed whilst the third was blocked by Yumi's fan, they quickly made a wide circle around, Yumi threw her fan after them, "they've disappeared from my screen" said Jeremie as he began typing to see if it was anymore trouble with the scanner, "where did they go" asked Yumi, Aelita turned around and looked "I dunno" she said "in this territory they have the advantage" added Aelita, suddenly the heard Jeremie shout "YUMI THE HORNETS ARE COMING STRAIGHT AT YOU", Yumi turned around to see the Hornets had circled around and launched a larger barrage of lasers towards Yumi, she blocked the first few, but the last struck her in the shoulder, she fell to her knees but as the Hornets fired more lasers, she continued to block them, "Jeremie I'm caught in a cross fire I can't hold out much longer" said Yumi, Jeremie was starting to panic himself, "hold on the others are on there way" said Jeremie, then under his breath he said "I hope so anyway".
(=======================================================================)
Several Minutes later the Hornets had continued the barrage of attacks Yumi was still managing to block each of the shots, but one quickly moved and fired at her from the sides, the shot struck her and caused her to de-virtualize,
"Yumi noooooooo" said Jeremie as Aelita was now defenceless, the other Hornets moved in and prepared to fire on Aelita, "try using your creativity we need a little time" said Jeremie, Aelita quickly began to sing as around her four parts of a dome began to rise and form around her, the Hornets fired desperately in an attempt to hit her, but the stone blocked them, whilst back in the Lab, the warriors and Samantha in tow exited the elevator,
"huh you're finally here, Yumi's been de-virtualized Aelita's alone on… um who is that" said Jeremie as he noticed Dallas carrying Samantha over his shoulder, "it's a long story" he said as he put her down, Samantha had her hands tied together and her mouth taped, "God I'm starting to hate her more than Sissi, Maybe more than Adam" said Dallas, "just head for the scanners" said Jeremie, the other nodded and entered the elevator, the crate descended and stopped at the scanner floor, they all stepped out, "Destination the mountains" said Jeremie as Ulrich and Odd stepped into a scanner, Dallas was about to when he noticed Yumi, "you go I'll take care of the prisoner" said Dallas, Yumi looked up at him as he placed her arm over his shoulder, "prisoner" she asked, Dallas both smiled and sighed before replying, "its best you don't ask", they quickly entered the elevator, whilst Jeremie said "Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Odd", he then typed and selected there ID cards, "Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Odd" he added as they began to spin and rise inside the scanners "virtualization" said Jeremie as Ulrich and Odd felt the blast of air sending them to Lyoko, The Blue squared outlines of the two appeared before gaining detail and dropping to the ground, "we made it Einstein" said Odd, "Okay the path in front of you will lead you too Aelita" replied Jeremie, whilst further down the path the Hornets had broken through the dome and Aelita was now visible to them, "GET AWAY" shouted Ulrich as Odd fired an arrow towards the Hornet causing it to move away from Aelita "sorry we're late" Said Odd, Ulrich then drew his sword and charged at the Hornets, "this'll convince you to forgive us" said Odd as he helped Aelita up and covered her retreat, "laser arrow" said Odd as he fired another one towards the Hornets, "you missed Odd" said Jeremie, Meanwhile Ulrich was dodging and blocking numerous attacks, he blocked two shots, then jumped and dodged the third, The Hornets then focused their attention towards Aelita and Odd, they opened a wide barrage of lasers on the two, "so you wanna play huh" said Odd as he knelt down and fired a laser arrow he missed again as the Hornets did another wide circle around, "hey what's with me today" said Odd as he looked at his arm, the Hornets quickly circled back around and opened fire again, Ulrich quickly charged at them, but even though he missed he had distracted the Hornet long enough for Odd to say "laser arrow" and fire one destroying the creature, he smiled and said "it's about time", Ulrich looked at the other two Hornets who had circled around again, he started running at them shouting "TRIPLICATE", Ulrich split into three, one of the Hornets stopped and started shooting at the three Ulrichs, it took down the one to the right of the real one, then the Hornet was quickly joined by the other one, the two fired on the Ulrichs, it destroyed the second clone, "it's just us now" said Ulrich as he jumped and pointed his Katana towards one of the Hornet, the Hornet fired a laser, and at the exact moment it fired at Ulrich, the latter sliced the creature in half, destroying the both of them, back in the lab the others panicked Aelita's only defence was Odd.

Back at the school the mud had began to flow into the room on an accelerated rate, the Mud hadn't began to seep into the closet yet, but Jim was finding it more and more difficult to breath, each yell was more and more fainter than the other,
"Help where are they" he said as he began to pass out due to the lack of oxygen, Back on Lyoko the final Hornet moved up onto the platform
"Odd watch out" said Aelita as she pointed behind him towards the creature, "get to the tower Aelita let Odd handle it" said Jeremie, Aelita quickly ran before jumping and doing a flip in the air before bouncing off a moving platform and landing on the platform that carried the tower, she quickly ran inside before walking towards the centre of the platform allowing it to light up as she reached the centre, she arched her head back and began to levitate towards the top of the tower, whilst outside Odd jumped towards the Hornet firing towards the creature as it did the same, the both were De-virtualized as Aelita reached the top platform, she landed on it causing it to light up, she stepped forward and placed her hand on the blue screen the word AELITA typed out then the words CODE LYOKO, at the school the mud stopped flowing into Jim's room and the buildings topped sinking whilst inside the towers the numerous Blue screens descended into the black void below, starting the return to the past "return to the past now" said Jeremie as he pressed enter and the white flash engulfed everything resetting the day…

Samantha stood outside the science building waiting for Odd, when he started to walk towards her she smiled, when she noticed the other warriors walking towards
"What's going on" she said, Ulrich and Yumi had to hold back Dallas who was clearly angry, "I know you were gonna use me to get the laptop Sam" said Odd, Samantha was a taken back she had been found out "what I would never…" she started before Odd shouted "SAVE ME THE BULLSHIT" before he signalled for the others to walk away, Samantha just watched as Odd her only chance at a laptop was walking away, "don't feel bad Odd" said Dallas, Odd smiled and said "it's not that, I just don't like being used", Ulrich and Jeremie patted him on the shoulder, "cheer up, we'll have a great time later" said Yumi, Dallas smiled and nudged Jeremie, "That reminds me, me and Dallas will have a surprise later" he said, the others we're confused as to what it could be.

Later that Night the group were at Yumi's house, they were eating traditional Japanese food with Odd constantly downing a load of water every time he had eaten Wassabi, the others couldn't help but laugh themselves stupid every time this happened, and were amazed how Dallas was eating it without any difficulty,
"sly bastard some people would think you were a Hāfu" said Yumi as she laid on Ulrich, Dallas laughed, then Odd spoke up, "it's a shame not all of us could be here" he said, then Jeremie nodded at Dallas, the two then stood up "what're you doing" asked Yumi, the two said nothing however, Jeremie set up his laptop whilst Dallas opened his bag and pulled out what looked like a projector, but had been extensively modified "what's that" asked Ulrich, Dallas then plugged the device into Jeremie's laptop "switch on" said Dallas, Jeremie then typed quickly and said "Aelita are you there" said Jeremie, then the projector switched on suddenly a 3d model just at Jeremie's height began to form, it gain it's detail revealing it to be Aelita, she looked around, "hi" she said, the others were amazed, "Aelita how can you see us" asked Yumi, Dallas pointed at the second lense below a small red light of the projector, "It's a camera so now albeit in a rudimentary state, Aelita can spend time with us in the real world" he said, the group smiled as this was the first time they had all been together and not looking at each other on the screen.

Authors note
Thanks for reading Christmas does slow down writing I'll say that much, but after some deliberation (with myself) I have decided on a few things, one I'll be doing a second spin off for a few chapters between the two seasons, the second thing is I'm holding a competition to see who can work out is the XANA Agent, the winner will have an opportunity to be written in my series in some capacity in a major role, if the winner so chooses, you have the next two chapters to work it out, good luck.
