Authors note
Well ladies, gentleman and other wise inclined because not stating that these days will get the shit kicked out of me, (for the record I am a supporter of the LBGT community being apart of it), but even though this is the second to last of the season, I still feel it's been a stretch to get here, and I'd like to thank everyone who has been reading and who has supported me to this stage of the series.
Also the guess the XANA's agent competition closes when the next chapter is published the winner will be announced in due course, there's a big hint in this chapter so good luck.

After all this time, the late nights, the numerous attacks, several deaths of Dallas, and many other things, Jeremie had nearly done it sitting at his computer in his pyjamas, he looked at the screen and said
"Okay it's gotta work this time" said Jeremie then he moved back and added "time for plan alpha", he then moved the mouse and pressed the left button and a window opened and for the first time in so long it wasn't the Red circle with the exclamation mark inside of it, a green circle with a plus inside appeared instead, then learning from the previous experience Jeremie dialled Yumi's number, "Yumi, Yumi its me, I've just launched Plan alpha, its worked" said Jeremie, whilst Yumi was in her laundry room standing without her trousers on, "okay tomorrow I'll talk to my parents" she replied, Jeremie smiled "that's great I'll tell Odd and Ulrich, Dallas is getting everything else ready" said Jeremie, Yumi smiled "okay see you tomorrow" she said as she hung up, since Aelita was finally coming to earth, she would finally have the closest thing to a sister she was gonna get, but she knew this also entailed having to explain a lot to Aelita, whilst back in his room Jeremie moved away from his computer and into his bed, he quickly lied down and pulled the cover over himself as it was a rather cold night, he looked towards the green matrix that was his computer screen, it was only a matter of hours until it was over and she would be with them on earth.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas moved through the forest having hunted some animals he had sold the fur and meat and using the money had acquired materials Aelita would need, including money and some possessions to look as if she had been living on earth and not in a virtual world, he looked at the moon as it illuminated the sky above him, he quickly moved back onto school grounds, then he noticed despite it being late at night Jim was still patrolling, Dallas's face curled with anger, then he thought about something,
"good time to try it" he said to himself and pulled out what appeared to be a feather but was a burnt grey coloured and was connected to a metal tip, he grabbed Adam's lighter and lit the feather end, Dallas then threw it towards the Cafeteria, then suddenly the object exploded into a small fire of small crackles, Jim instantly noticed this and ran towards it "What on earth" he said as he noticed the crackling, unbeknownst to him Dallas was running over the building, as he reached the end Dallas jumped off and did a front flip before landing feet firmly on the ground and rushing in doors before Jim would notice him.
(=======================================================================)
The Night quickly turned to day and Yumi got up and quickly got dressed knowing she needed to really persuade her parents, whilst down stairs her parents were sitting down at the breakfast table, her farther was eating a bowl of noodles, he took one mouthful, then he quickly engulfed the rest of them, Yumi walked in
"Uh mum and dad can I talk to you for a second" she said, but unlike the last time, they had more trust in her, considering the glass table hadn't been smashed "It's about my pen pal, you haven't changed your mind about her living her for a whole" added Yumi as she moved to her fathers shoulder "no, but tell us a little bit about her Yumi, we don't even know her name" said Takeho "Aelita" answered Yumi, her mother folded her arms and asked "Aelita, what?", Yumi quickly thought for a second "Aelita… Lyoko" she said "is she Japanese" asked her father, Yumi nodded and said "well uh… yes she is, but only by descent I'm afraid", her parents were becoming more convinced "what do her parents do dear" asked Akiko, Yumi quickly thought for a second "they work with computers" answered Yumi, Takeho wasn't entirely convinced but Akiko was and she gave him a subtle look, he sighed and stood up, "well alright then, she's welcome to stay with us" said Takeho, Yumi was over the moon "that's fantastic I adore you" said Yumi as she kissed her father on the cheek, "you won't regret it she's really so nice" said Yumi as she ran out of the room grabbing her bag and leaving for school "bye now see you tonight" she said.
(=======================================================================)
At the school Odd and Ulrich were standing in Delmas office as he read over several enrolment forms,
"Very well, what is your cousins name Odd" asked Delmas, "Aelita" repeated Delmas, he thought it was a funny name "and where does she come from" he asked, "she's from Holland" said Odd, Delmas thought for a second, being from Holland meant she would have no trouble with language "Well her papers are in order, and your parents have recommended her highly, so I see no reason why she can't attend school here, let me know when she arrives" said Delmas, as he began to write the necessary forms to authorize Aelita attending the school, Odd and Ulrich walked out of the room, "Yes" said Ulrich as he high fived Odd, then the two walked away all cheerful, but it soon died as they ran into Jim, "okay what are you two up to huh" said Jim, Odd cracked an awkward smile, "you know this building is off limits to students especially at 8 in the morning" said Jim as he placed his hands on his side "we had an appointment Jim, with the principal about Odd's cousin attending school" said Ulrich, Jim laughed and said "what a lame excuse, what do you think I am an idiot", Ulrich and Odd looked at each other and said "well…" started Odd, Jim wasn't going to let him finish however "quiet" he said before crouching down "I bet you don't also think I'm also onto you're pranks with Jeremie, Yumi and Dallas, you disappear in the park like some sort of magic, you plot in you're rooms" said Jim, Odd simply replied "it's not a crime" Jim knew Odd had him this time, "Maybe not, now listen up, one of these days I'm gonna find out what the 5 of you are hiding, now to the cafeteria hurry up" said Jim as he pointed towards the exit, Ulrich and Odd quickly walked out of the building.
(=======================================================================)
"you know what I think, we gotta be careful about him he keeps playing detective he's gonna find our secret passage" said Ulrich as he and Odd walked towards the cafeteria, "hey" they heard a voice call out, they stopped as Yumi ran towards them "hey guys" said Yumi, "great news my parents said Okay" added Yumi, Ulrich and Odd smiled, "great news so did the principal" said Ulrich then he looked back at Odd, "Odd that was a pretty good letter you faked from your parents" added Ulrich, Odd looked down slightly "can't say I'm proud of what I did, but it was for a good cause, then they heard a phone ring, it was Ulrichs as he answered it "Dallas what's up" he asked, "Einstein wants us in our room, he wants us all here when we tell her" said Dallas, Ulrich smiled knowing Jeremie would pull something like that "okay be right there" he responded before hanging up, "Jeremie wants us" said Ulrich, the others nodded before they rushed off to the dorm building, watching them was Sissi's group, "what're they up to" said Sissi, Herb shrugged his shoulders "I wouldn't know" he said, whilst Adam took a puff of his cigarette, Herb quickly waved the smoke from his face, "the amount you smoke I'm surprised you don't have a form of cancer" said Herb as he coughed "hasn't anyone told you second hand smoke can kill you" added Herb, Adam looked at him and replied "yeah but their all dead".
(=======================================================================)
Quickly locking the door, Yumi tossed the Key back to Dallas as he pocketed it; Jeremie loaded the connection to Lyoko as fast as he could, and at the same time upon the advice of the others he quickly typed checking the code to make certain that it was working before they ended up losing someone again, the warriors stood around Jeremie and leant in and observed the screen, Jeremie stopped typing and the window began to close, Jeremie briefly panicked thinking that it wasn't going to work, then suddenly he saw the green circle with the plus symbol,
"That's it we've got it this time" said Jeremie, the others smiled and Dallas placed his hand on Jeremie's shoulder "good job Einstein" he said, "it works, it works" said Jeremie as he began to go squeaky voiced from the excitement, he quickly coughed and said "I can't believe it" the other quickly moved in for a group hug, after a year and a half it was finally happening.
(=======================================================================)
Back outside in the courtyard Jim was becoming increasingly suspicious of the groups, and was looking around for them, his eyes shifting back and forth, he couldn't see them he walked towards Sissi and her group,
"Hey Sissi, have you seen Ulrich and his gang this morning" asked Jim as he crouched down to her, "well yeah" replied Sissi as a grin grew on her face, "where in the cafeteria" asked Jim, Sissi's grin grew visibly bigger "no I saw them going to their rooms Jim" replied Sissi, Adam was starting to develop the grin "yeah thanks for the tip" said Jim as he stood up and started to walk away when Sissi said "yeah it is pretty strange to be in there rooms now, and with someone who isn't even a border", Jim stopped and walked back towards them, "you mean Yumi Ishiyama is with them" said Jim as it all started to click to together Sissi nodded, Jim quickly pushed through them making his way towards the dorm building, "you're meaner than I thought" said Nicholas, Sissi's grin grew again turning to what could be considered shit eating.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita quickly appeared on her screen as the other's moved away from each other as not to spoil the surprise;
"Okay tell me what the good news is" asked Aelita, Jeremie placed his hands together "Aelita I don't know how to tell you this" said Jeremie, he took a deep breath "but believe it or not, we're waiting for you here" he finished, Aelita was shocked she was overwhelmed with joy "really" she asked with a tiniest hint of disbelief which was soon dashed as the others said in unison "really", Aelita placed her hand to he face in shock and joy, "the materliazation is gonna work" she asked, Jeremie nodded and said "yep, it's all in here" as he held up a disc "and I can tell you it was really complicated, de-compiling the matrix was difficult enough without" he continued before he was cut off by Odd saying "time out Einstein", Jeremie looked back at him and shook his head, he then noticed Ulrich yawn and Dallas pretend to sleep and realised he was dragging on, "Long story short it works" he said summing it up, Aelita was overjoyed, "Jeremie that's so great" she said as she squealed slightly and everyone looked at Yumi knowing that it wasn't Dallas this time who'd taught her something, "I can't believe it's true" added Aelita, Odd leaned towards the screen "better get used to it fast, because it's time for the big jump, then it's bye, bye XANA" said Odd, Jeremie then killed the mood as he said "hold on" everyone looked at him as he placed the CD in a case "it's not that simple, first I've gotta set up the program in the super calculator, then Aelita will have to get to the passage tower in Lyokos forest sector" said Jeremie, then he looked at Dallas "This also means the elevator will be outta commission, you'll have to run the cable to the super computer to give it the needed power kick" he said, Dallas nodded "good once in the tower she'll be de virtualized then she'll appear for the first time inside one of the scanners" said Jeremie himself starting to squeal, Dallas looked at the others and knew why Jeremie had chosen that sector, "in that case I'm off to the forest right now" said Aelita, Jeremie smiled unable to get over the fact that it was finally happening "okay and in the mean time we'll go to class, and afterwards the factory" said Jeremie, Aelita smiled and gave a single finger salute saying "I'll see you later my friends", Jeremie replied "it'll be six for dinner tonight", then he looked at Dallas as Aelita's window shut off, inside the way tower in which Aelita had been situated she walked towards the edge and dived into the black void, she then felt the falling sensation turn into one of flying as she approached the platform, she landed on the platform and walked towards the tower wall.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the school Jim walked into the dorm building he was out for blood, the warriors quickly moved out of Jeremie's and Dallas's room, Jim quickly moved into the corridor as the warriors had already started running they quickly skidded to a halt knocking into each other
"What's wrong, up to no good" asked Jim, the warriors all looked at Jim, they were either waiting for Jim to carry on or for Dallas to quip something, "we were just studying together" said Odd breaking a silence that felt like ages, Jim wasn't having it though he leaned towards them and pulled his left eye open and said "my foot" Dallas quickly and subtly leaned towards Ulrich and said "I'm surprised he's a gym teacher", Jim and the others looked at him, whilst the warriors were amused, Jim was less than as he said "I've had enough of your lies you hear, we're going to stay right here until you guys tell me the truth", the warriors remained silent when suddenly they heard "Jim what is going on here", they all looked behind Jim as the aforementioned turned around to see Delmas walking towards them "ah sir, I don't know what's going on, but these little devils are up to no good and I intend to find out what it is" said Jim proud of the fact that he was finally cracking down on the warriors, however Delmas didn't exactly see his point of view "yes Jim another one of your absurd stories about secret plots and passages" said Delmas, Jims eyes shot open as his eyebrows raised themselves "what do you mean absurd" he said, Delmas was obviously sick to death of Jim's behaviour "You heard what I said, ABSURD Jim" said Delmas, Jim was at a loss for words he looked done trying to spit something out when Delmas said "now listen, your paranoid behaviour and your one track mind concerning this children is getting on my nerves", Delmas started to poke Jim "you are a physical education teacher, not a detective" finished Delmas as he walked away, Jim looked and watched as he exited the corridor, his face began to curl with anger as he struggled to keep a calm demeanour, Odd looked at the others as Jim almost growled at them, "what are you waiting for" said Jim with his teeth grinding against each other, he quickly turned around and shouted pointing towards the door "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU'VE GOT CLASS NOW, SO GET GOING".
(=======================================================================)
An hour into a double science lesson, which felt like it was taking forever as each of the warriors was burning off the excitement of having Aelita on earth, Odd was cunningly hiding a magazine in a science book, Jeremie was paying attention to what Mrs Hertz was saying, Ulrich was half asleep whilst Dallas was skimming through his book trying to find one part empty space to write,
"Animals live in all land, air and sea regions thanks to their varied respiratory organs" blabbered Mrs Hertz Odd turned to Jeremie and said "won't be long now", whilst in Yumi's class she was taking Italian and she didn't understand what her teacher was saying as she doodled a small and highly detailed picture of Aelita onto a piece of paper, on Lyoko Aelita rushed towards the tower Jeremie had selected she quickly stopped and hid inside a hollowed out tree trunk and watched as three Blocks guarded the tower, she looked up, and said
"Jeremie I'm gonna need help", back in his class Jeremie felt his eye vibrate he received the message, "when animals breath they take in carbon dioxide" said Mrs Hertz, Odd looked towards Jeremie as he looked dead eyed towards the front of the class, "what's wrong" asked Odd, Jeremie snapped out of his trance "Aelita she's in danger" replied Jeremie as he looked at Odd, then he turned his attention to Dallas "need a distraction" he said, Dallas smiled and nudged Ulrich waking the latter up, "what are we talking knuckles" he asked, Jeremie nodded his head, Dallas smirked and obliged, he leaned towards Adam's general direction he grabbed his rubber from his desk and when Hertz wasn't looking threw it at the back of his head, Adam turned around and looked towards Dallas as he whistled casually, Adam rubbed the back of his head, Dallas looked towards him baiting him further "what the fuck do you think you're doing" said Adam restraining himself from shouting everyone looked towards him as he stood up knocking his chair over, Adam limped slightly, Dallas shrugged it off as he'd caught his foot on the chair, "who me" asked Dallas playing Adam to be the one starting the incident, "of course you, you stupid aussie…" said Adam as he walked towards Dallas but before he could finish his sentence he threw a punch at Dallas which the latter quickly caught with his left hand and Pulled Adam towards the table, the blow of the desk winded Adam as he exhaled loudly "ALLRIGHT BOTH OF YOU OUT" shouted a furious Hertz, Adam tried moving up ready to attempt another strike at Dallas, Jeremie grabbed Dallas's arm whilst Odd and Ulrich grabbed Adam "we'll escort them out" said Ulrich as he and Odd struggled to contain Adam, they walked out of the room with Jeremie shutting the door, Adam quickly broke free of Odd and Ulrich, "you fucker" said Adam as he charged at Dallas, the latter quickly jumped and spun around with his left leg out kicking Adam in the jaw and knocking him over, "Call Yumi" said Dallas as he grabbed Adam's unconscious body "what're you doing" asked Odd, Dallas smiled and dropped Adam's body into a trash bin head first, Dallas smiled as he wiped his hands on his trousers, the four quickly ran down the corridor, Ulrich pulled out his phone and quickly hit the first number on speed dial, In her class Yumi was doodling in her note book when she felt heard her phone vibrate, "yes Ulrich" she said quietly as she answered the call, "Yumi come to the park it's urgent" replied Ulrich as he and the others quickly exited the science building, "okay, be right there" replied Yumi then she hung up, before turning forward and raising her hand, "yes Yumi" said her teacher "sir can I go to the bathroom women troubles" said Yumi, her teacher quickly nodded understanding that this was a serious problem, she quickly packed up her things and rushed out of the door, whilst the others quickly entered the woods, Jim unbeknownst to them had been watching and waiting for them, he grinned as he was getting closer and closer.
(=======================================================================)
The warriors were running towards the man-hole in the woods, Yumi was moving from another direction but quickly grouped up with them, Jim was still following them from a distance, none of the warriors noticed him, due to Jim's prior military experience he knew the art of camouflage,
"Mind telling me what's going on" asked Yumi, Jeremie quickly looked back at her "XANA's at it again" said Jeremie, then Odd quickly spoke up and said "He knows the end is near, and he's not going down without a fight", Jim quickly moved into a vantage point he could see the warriors clearly, but there legs were covered and he couldn't see the hatch, Dallas handed Ulrich his crossbow and clicked his fingers "take point" he said quickly as he knelt down and extended his blade, sliding it underneath the man-hole cover and lifting it up, Jim was unable to see what was going on as Yumi followed by Jeremie descended the ladder, Odd quickly followed, then Ulrich walked over handing Dallas his crossbow, then suddenly the two heard a rustling, "XANA's agent" asked Ulrich, Dallas shook his head, "too obvious and reckless, I'll meet you at the factory" said Dallas, then Ulrich climbed down the ladder, Dallas quickly replaced the hatch before slinging his crossbow and running into the woods, Jim quickly jumped into the open, "Marshal stop" he yelled but Dallas deliberately ignored his words as he made his way through the trees, Jim looked up unable to carry on pursuing him, he quickly gained his breath and looked back towards the school, before nodding and walking back that way.
(=======================================================================)
The other warriors arrived at the factory and quickly entered the elevator and descended into the computer room, time seemed to slow to a halt due to the urgency, the door finally opened and Jeremie rushed towards the screen not bothering to wait for the chair
"Aelita can you hear me" said Jeremie, Aelita's window quickly opened on the screen "you took such a long time, I'm at the passage tower, but three Blocks are stopping me from reaching it" said Aelita as she looked towards the creatures as they stood turning and looking at every possible direction she could be coming from, Jeremie franticly typed, "okay I've got you localised, don't worry help is on the way" said Jeremie, the others quickly moved towards the elevator, "better hurry up" said Aelita becoming more worried each passing minute, "go to the centre of the tower and I'll launch the program" said Jeremie reassuring her, in the scanner room each of the warriors stood in front of a scanner, "I'm Transferring you to the forest region, just south of where Aelita is" said Jeremie over the intercom, the warriors stepped into their respective scanners and turned around, "here we go" said Jeremie, then the scanners shut as he selected their ID cards "I'm counting on you" said Jeremie to himself, "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Odd" said Jeremie as he typed in the necessary details, inside the scanners the warriors felt themselves spin and rise "Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Odd" said Jeremie as he hit enter bringing up the last part of the process, suddenly each of the warriors felt the blast of air and their bodies being broken down and reassemble in the sky of Lyoko, they quickly dropped to the ground, after quickly observing the area they ran towards Aelita's direction, "man I cannot wait for this to be over" said Odd as they approached the tree where Aelita was hiding, "okay Jeremie we're here" said Ulrich, Jeremie smiled the first task was done, "get ready guys I'm starting up the materliazation program" said Jeremie as he placed a disc into the computer, Unfortunately it wasn't the materialization program, he'd picked up the wrong disc which contained one of Odds poorly made music videos, "oh no what have I done" said Jeremie in horror as he smacked his head into the keyboard, "problem Jeremie" said Yumi as she looked up "I inserted the wrong disc, its one of Odds dumb videos, instead of the program" replied Jeremie, then he ejected the disc and smashed it, "I've got to go back to the dorm" said Jeremie, The others looked at each other "okay but hurry" said Yumi, Jeremie quickly moved away from the computer and rushed towards the elevator, whilst back in the tree stump Ulrich said "you made a video, I don't even want to know".
(=======================================================================)
Twenty minutes passed, when suddenly the doors to the computer room opened, Dallas stepped out removing his crossbow and placing it against the wall,
"Sorry I'm late Jeremie I…" started Dallas before he noticed Jeremie was absent from his post, he quickly sat down at the computer and put on the ear piece, "I'm gonna assume you're on Lyoko" said Dallas, The warriors looked up "no shit Sherlock" replied Ulrich, Dallas quickly looked at the map, "Are you qualified to run the super computer" asked Odd nervous of his friends capabilities, Dallas chuckled before saying "no" in a sheepish voice, "Okay that's enough fooling around, we've got some cleaning up to do" said Yumi as she looked towards the Blocks, "Ma'am yes Ma'am" said Odd and Ulrich in unison standing to attention, despite their serious tones it was obvious they were joking, Yumi ran down another path onto another that ran opposite to the path that led to the tower, Odd and Ulrich ran directly towards Blocks.
(=======================================================================)
Jim had returned to the school having lost Dallas in the woods and was teaching the gym class, the class which was in the 10 grade were playing soccer
"Okay let's get started" said Jim, he reached for his whistle, he suddenly noticed Jeremie moving towards the dorm rooms, "this time I've got em" said Jim as he stepped back and kicked the ball towards the class playing and said "play ball", then under the confusion he moved towards the dorm rooms.
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko the warriors closed in on their respective Targets, Dallas observed their Id cards; The Blocks fired a laser each, the warriors jumped to avoid the shots, Odd fired a arrow towards a block whilst Yumi threw her fan, both of them destroyed a Block, Ulrich quickly ran in and before the last Block knew what happened it was destroyed,
"Great job guys" said Dallas, Odd looked up and said "yeah the pros got it covered", Dallas chuckled and said "you know Odd when Aelita gets hear I'm gonna show her a broken nose and I'll use you to show her", the other laughed at the small argument that ensured, "Aelita the passage is clear you can go" said Yumi as she signalled for Aelita to move out of hiding and run towards the tower, "wow just think this could be the last tower" said Odd as he and the others looked up at it as Aelita passed through the wall, "okay guys I'm gonna set up the cable" said Dallas.
(=======================================================================)
Back at the school Jeremie quickly moved down the corridor towards his room, he pulled out his key and unlocked the door to his room, he felt his phone vibrate he pulled it out, it was a message from Dallas it red take service duct cable in place Jeremie nodded as he put it back in his pocket and grabbed the correct disc he quickly walked out of the room and locked the door happy that it was all finally happening, but that happiness soon dwindled as he ran into Jim,
"Playing hooky huh" said Jim as he looked down at Jeremie, "no, I uh left something in my room" said Jeremie as he backed away as he was physically feeble compared to Jim "I gotta go back to class now Jim" said Jeremie, but Jim wasn't having it "Not until you tell me what you've been plotting since before the beginning of the year, and this time the principal isn't going to come to your rescue" said Jim as he leaned towards Jeremie, the latter despite being out sized wasn't going to give in so easily, he quickly moved to one side of Jim, the latter blocked him, Jeremie moved to the other side of him, again Jim blocked him, Jeremie then motioned to Jim's left again, but as Jim sidestepped to the left Jeremie quickly moved right and went past him "oh you miserable little shit" said Jim as he gave chase, somehow Jeremie was managing to outrun Jim, Jeremie quickly reached the end of the hall he quickly stopped to avoid hitting the wall, he then followed the corridor towards the stairs, "get back here" yelled Jim as he turned the corner after Jeremie "wait till I get my hands on you" he added, as he was getting closer, but Jeremie quickly began to descend the stairs "Jeremie stop that's an order" said Jim, but his words fell on deaf ears as Jeremie got closer to the bottom of the stairs, but as he reached the last flight of stairs, Jeremie lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs, Jim noticed Jeremie lying on the floor, his previous mood and determination were instantly lost as he saw Jeremie, he quickly rushed down the stairs, "oh no" he said as reached the bottom of the stairs, Jeremie looked up and tried moving away but as soon as he put pressure on his foot he felt some severe pain and instantly collapsed again "ahhh… my leg" said Jeremie, as several other students noticed him pain, "what are you crazy Jim" said a female observer, "hey this is your fault" said another, Jim stood both worried about his punishment, but he felt mostly regret other blowing it out of all proportion and the guilt of Jeremie's injury.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the tower on Lyoko, the warriors were becoming increasingly frustrated by the silence and the lack of replies from the computer room
"Jeremie, Jeremie can you hear me" said Aelita, as she stood facing her three friends, "we're in the tower, Anyone" added Aelita, then they heard a voice "Jeremie" said Aelita, then there was a slight rustling "no its me, I've heard nothing from Jeremie" said Dallas as he adjusted himself in the seat, "its been a bit long just to pick up a Disc" said Ulrich, Yumi looked towards him and said "I sure hope nothing happened to him", Odd smiled and signalled for the them to calm down "I'm sure he's fine, stop being so gloom and doom, I'm sure everything's cool" he said, whilst back in the computer room Dallas heard a beeping and a beeping he didn't want to hear.
(=======================================================================)
In the infirmary Dorothy was looking at Jeremie's leg unsure as to what the injury could be,
"Does it still hurt" she asked, Jeremie tried lying and said "no its okay now, I can… I can walk fine now Dorothy" but she saw through this lie almost instantly "if theirs one thing you'd better not do yet its walk, we don't know how severe the injury is yet" she replied crushing his hopes of getting back to the factory, their conversation was interrupted as they heard Delmas outside,
"Jim, this time you've gone too far, don't say I didn't warn you, this time your paranoia has caused an accident" said Delmas, Jim knew it was his fault and where as most people would have tried to get out of it, Jim stood there and took whatever was coming his direction like a man, "I'm sorry sir" he said, Delmas shook his head, "so am I Jim, I'm going to have to let you go" he said as he walked away, Jim was crushed and the only thing he could hear was the last words of Delmas playing on repeat inside his head.
(=======================================================================)
"HOLY SHIT MEGA TANK" screamed Dallas down the headset, the warriors only heard at the last second as the Mega tank fired a beam towards the tower causing it to shake, Yumi, Ulrich and Odd quickly ran out to confront the creature, whilst back in the infirmary, Jeremie looked towards the window he began planning his escape,
"can I go now, I need to the bathroom" he asked but Dorothy turned back to him and said "not until we know had serious the injury is, I'll go get a bed pan" she said, she quickly left the room, and as soon as she did Jim walked in, it was obvious he'd been crying over his mistake, he quickly sat down next to Jeremie,
"Jeremie listen I" he started but he was struggling to get the words out due to guilt, "I wanna say I'm sorry, I'm so sure you guys were up to something, I guess I got carried away a little" said Jim getting what he wanted to say out, this gave Jeremie an idea, Jim walked towards the window, "I deserve to get fired, I went a little crazy because I thought you and your friends had a lot of secrets you'd been hiding" he added becoming increasingly upset, he walked back to Jeremie "anyway… I'm gonna… I'm gonna miss you guys" he added as he placed his hand on Jeremie's shoulder before walking away, he was only stopped as Jeremie said "hold on a second Jim, its not as crazy as you think", Jim turned his head towards Jeremie in confusion "your right, my friends and I we do have a secret" said Jeremie, Jim turned back towards him he was hesitant wondering if Jeremie was saying it to cheer him up, "that means I was right" he said, Jeremie nodded and replied "if you help me I'll tell Delmas everything you'll be off the hook, and he's bound to give you your job back right", Jim knew this couldn't be a bluff and said "great shake on it" as he held his hand out, some minutes later Dorothy came back with the bed pan to find Jeremie missing and an open window, Jim was carrying Jeremie through the woods towards the man-hole "over there behind the oak tree" said Jeremie, Jim followed the directions then Jeremie yelled "STOP" Jim quickly halted before looking around confused "in front of you" said Jeremie, then Jim noticed the man-hole and slowly walked towards it "yeah I was right, I was right" said Jim as he felt all the more better about himself, he quickly lent over and as a testament to his former military skills he moved the hatch with Jeremie still on his shoulders, "I was right, I was right" he repeated as he looked down, before grabbing the ladder and began carrying Jeremie down.
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko the mega tank opened up and fired its beam, Ulrich jumped to the side dodging the attack whilst Odd jumped up and fired one of his arrows
"GOOOOOOOOOOO" he yelled as the arrow got closer to the mega tank, but before it could strike it, the creature sealed itself again causing the arrow to bounce off Odd landed again looking towards the creature that had just outsmarted him, he quickly started running towards the Mega Tank and jumped turning upside down as he raised his arm and said "take that" as he fired another shot, but again he was outsmarted as the mega tank closed again deflecting the shot, "fuck, hold it off you guys" said Dallas as he quickly typed looking at the map.

Jim had managed to carry Jeremie down the rope and was now carrying him through what used to be the construction room,
"And this super powerful virtual life form called XANA wants to destroy us only Aelita can deactivate the towers" said Jeremie, then Jim opened up the rarely used hatch that led to the service tunnel, "our job is to protect her as much as we can" added Jeremie as Jim lowered the two of them down, "and she's on this place called loko" asked Jim trying to make sure he had the facts "No its Lyoko" said Jeremie correcting him, Jim nodded as he now understood, "the only way to destroy XANA is to unplug him, but first we have to materialize Aelita and that's what we're gonna do today" added Jeremie as Jim entered the computer room for the first time since they had discovered it, but to him it was his first memory of it, "here we are" said Jeremie, Dallas turned in the chair "Jeremie, we gotta small…" started Dallas before he noticed Jim, "fuck that we gotta a bigger one here, what's he doing here" said Dallas as he extended his blades and held them up in a southpaw stance, Jeremie signalled for him to lower them, Dallas nodded and retracted the blades, "Dallas he's one of us now" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled and then quickly used eagle sight to see Jim was blue not red as he usually was, "okay, sorry bout that Jim" said Dallas as he smiled, Jim then noticed the computer console as Dallas walked over to Jeremie "where does it hurt" he asked, Jeremie, the latter pointed to his ankle "this might hurt" he said Jeremie looked at him "what do you mean" he asked, but he soon got his answer as Dallas smacked down onto his leg and clicked his leg causing Jeremie to scream "you can walk on it now" said Dallas, Jeremie stood up and walked towards the super computer, "would you look at that" he said in amazement, "who have believed it" said Jim, Dallas smiled and laughed slightly before saying "this aint the half of it".

Back on Lyoko the Mega Tank fired its beam again, Odd quickly rolled out of the way as Yumi and Ulrich jumped out of the way of the blast, the beam hit the tower causing it to shake again, Jeremie quickly put the head set on
"Aelita is everything okay" asked Jeremie, Aelita was relieved to hear his voice "Jeremie at last what happened to you" asked Aelita, "it's a long story but I've got the program" replied Jeremie then he looked back at Dallas and Jim "well lets cross our fingers and hope it works okay" said Jeremie, then just as he was about to put the disc in there was a loud snap, "What was that" asked Jim, then they heard a thump "the cable" said Dallas, Jeremie looked back at him "what" he asked, Dallas rushed over towards the door, "what's going on" asked Jim, Dallas extended his blade and forced it between the doors before forcing them open "to get enough power, we need to use an outside source otherwise we'd blow the supercomputer apart" said Dallas then he looked down to see it was quite a drop "Jim you wanna see something else that's amazing" asked Dallas, Jim thought for a second "yeah" he replied, Dallas smiled then he spread his arms out and eagle sense began to manifest and pour of his body like steam and he jumped down the elevator shaft Jim quickly ran over towards it to watch as Dallas descended at a rapid pace before landing on the elevator, "guys we need time the cables snapped" said Jeremie, back on Lyoko Yumi looked at the others and said
"Follow me Odd" then she and the aforementioned ran towards the Mega tank, the creature quickly opened and fired another beam striking Yumi straight down the middle causing her to devirtuallize instantly "Yumi" said Odd as he ran towards the mega tank before jumping into the air and landing on the insides of the creature and pointed his arm at the centre saying "take that" but unlike other times where he jumped off in time, the Mega tank fired and stuck Odd sending him flying and devitalizing him, but at the same time the creature was destroyed.

Back in the elevator shaft Dallas grabbed the cable grabbing it in his mouth and started climbing the ladder,
"Of all the fucking times for it to snap" said Dallas as he placed his hand in another rung and carried on ascending, back in the computer room Jeremie watched as another Mega tank appeared and moved towards the tower, Ulrich quickly ran towards it shouting
"NO ONE MESSES WITH FAMILY" then as he reached the mega tank he shouted "TRIANGULATE" and split in three and then began to run around the creature at such a speed it looked like he was standing in a triangle position "go on Ulrich get him, show this XANA thing whose boss" said Jim, whilst in the computer room Yumi and Odd moved up through the hatch "Jeremie, Ulrich is" started Odd then the two of them noticed Jim standing next to him, "Jim" said Yumi with a surprised tone, "yeah Jim, don't worry he's one of the gang now" replied Jeremie the two were shocked, whilst back on Lyoko the Mega tank fired its beam and destroyed one of the Ulrich clones, the other two broke formation and started running but the Mega tank fired and destroyed the other clone, the real Ulrich ran away but quickly ran up a tree before back leaping off and launching towards the tank and impaling it into the centre of the Mega Tank, the creature exploded, Ulrich was about to sheath his Katanna when Jeremie said "Ulrich watch out behind you", Ulrich looked back to see another Mega Tank had moved in and charged its shot to destroy the tower, it fired causing the tower to shake, "Jeremie the towers not gonna hold much longer" said Aelita, Jeremie quickly at the screen "Ulrich you've gotta hold on and stop the Mega Tank" he said, the creature fired another beam but Ulrich intercepted with his Katanna but it was only slowing the beam down as it began to push him back, in the elevator shaft Dallas reached the tear point, he looked at the tear "ah fuck" he said, then shouting at the top of his lungs he said "JEREMIE GET THE PROGRAM READY I'M GONNA HAVE TO HOLD THE CABLE TOGETHER" Jeremie turned his head towards the elevator shaft, he quickly started typing, "get ready Aelita, get into position" said Jeremie, whilst in the shaft Dallas climbed higher before grabbing the hanging end of the cable he then let go of the ladder causing him to swing into the centre of the shaft he pulled the cable up, but unfortunately he found it jammed and wedged he couldn't pull it up any further, "fuck it" he said as he extended his left arm blade so the cable touched it then his right arm blade so it did the same "this is gonna hurt" he added, back in the tower Aelita stepped into the centre of the tower, then she began to levitate as she had done so many times before, "ready to take the big jump" said Jeremie, whilst outside the tower Ulrich struggled to keep the beam at bay, he was being pushed back further and further, "ready" said Aelita, Jeremie took a deep breath and said "here we go" then he pressed enter, "code earth", inside the shaft a surge of electricity was being drawn from the main power station that was near the city and was surging down the cable it quickly passed through Dallas who screamed with pain, all the while remaining conscious, whilst inside the tower, Aelita spread her arms out as the numerous blue screens began to move and en circle her as numerous small beams of light began to appear around her before she disappeared in a flash, Outside the tower the beam broke Ulrich's sword and passed through and devirtualized him whilst inside the shaft Dallas felt another surge of energy this triggering eagle sight to trigger momentarily, then the cable burnt out from the power it was never designed to receive, Dallas quickly flew up into the computer room, Jim quickly grabbed him and everyone quickly rushed through into the scanner room.
(=======================================================================)
After a year and four months of fighting XANA, of numerous deaths and tests on their friendships and relationships it was finally happening the warriors watched as the scanner closed for the receiving process, Yumi held Ulrich still weak from his struggle in her arms, Dallas had recovered but still smelt of burnt barbecue, they all watch in anticipation as the scanner opened and smoke poured out before clearing each of them looked as lying in a fetal position was a pink haired girl wearing a maroon skirt, a yellow shirt and a dark pink jacket, Aelita had finally arrived on earth,
"She's hear at last" said Jeremie, then Aelita in her first movements opened her eyes and looked up at Jeremie as he knelt down and extended his hand as he said "welcome to earth".
