well this is gonna be fun, theirs either a gaping plot hole or the characters seems like arseholes.
(=======================================================================)
The woods were vast, the leaves which had died sometime before blocked most of the light in and out of them, suddenly there was a wolf howl and a figure of around 5 foot 9 ran, he had elf ears and wore light purple fur boots with a hat, his torso was white, with a black line running down the centre, it diverged towards the centre of the line shifting towards the left side of his body, before shifting back and continuing straight down, he had what appeared to be two large purple tails flowing from his belt, over his shoulders he had a similarly coloured cape, the wolves began chasing him, they were gaining speed on him, he stopped as he noticed another wolf standing atop of a rock looking down on him, it growled at him, the boy started to back away before he noticed the pack of wolves behind him, he quickly turned and started running in another direction, but they soon started to chase after him, he tripped on a tree before rolling over, he quickly ran towards a large tree and climbing into it hoping to through off the wolves, but unfortunately for him, they already had his scent and had begun to encircle the tree, the leader of the pack caught the boy off guard as it shoved its head into the hole and opened its mouth ready to snap at him, Aelita awoke screaming she looked up to see the lights through the window as it shined down on her, she quickly shot forward rubbing her head, she pulled back her covers, her sleep wear consisted of a giant shirt with long sleeves that had an A on the front and white socks.

In their room Jeremie had set up his printer, whilst Dallas got out of bed, Jeremie was slightly jealous of Dallas's muscular frame it wasn't easier now that Dallas wasn't wearing a vest in bed anymore,
"Alright lets see now" said Jeremie as he printed off what appeared to be a house deed, he grabbed it examining it "wow unbelievable" said Jeremie, Dallas looked towards him and asked "what's up", then the door opened to show Odd and Ulrich standing there, Ulrich had forgotten to shave over the past few days and his chin had a bit of stubble on it, Odd's sideburns needed trimming, "come on you two, lets get a move on otherwise there won't be any hot water left" said Ulrich, Jeremie however was much more preoccupied, "do you remember the hermitage" said Jeremie, Ulrich smiled remember what happened between him and Yumi, "you mean the house where Aelita had those visions" he said, Jeremie nodded and returned to face his computer "right, well I wanted to check it out a little closer, and found out something amazing" replied Jeremie, Odd smiled and said "what would be amazing is if there are still some eggs left when we get down to breakfast", Jeremie sighed as he began typing again, "Odd you're a real walking stomach, you know that" said Jeremie, "and you're a walking brain, see we compliment each other" replied Odd, Dallas and Ulrich laughed as Jeremie turned in his chair, he finally stood up as the they walked out of the room, "I did some research to find out who that old house belonged too, and I came across a restricted Access sight, it took me most of the night to hack into it, but it was worth it, I found a deed signed by a Mr Franz Hopper, seems that he's the owner" said Jeremie, Dallas thought for a moment "name sound familiar" asked Ulrich, Dallas shook his head, "and you think he has something to do with Lyoko" said Ulrich, "Ulrich theirs a secret underground passage to the sewers from his yard remember, so the guy must have had something to do with the super computer" said Odd, Jeremie nodded, "exactly so I did a search on Franz hopper and guess what, he was a science teacher right here at Kadic Academy, is that weird or what" he explained, the others were shocked by this revelation as they walked into the showers, Dallas quickly said "you know Ulrich that beard on your chin suits you".
(=======================================================================)
Yumi Woke up, she stretched her arms, unlike everyone at Kadic she didn't have to wait for a load of other girls to finish she just had to wait for Hiroki to finish, she stood up something felt different she couldn't quite place it but her back was killing her, at the same time she noticed she looked thinner as she looked in the mirror, she thought nothing off it as she walked down stairs,
"Morning" she said to her mother who was sitting at the table drinking Tea, "good morning Yumi, My you look Tired did you get enough sleep" she asked Yumi nodded and said "yeah I went to bed early last night" she then yawned and her mother said "clearly not" sarcastically, "Yumi, I think you need to go shopping again" said her mother, Yumi smiled and asked "why" as she poured herself a cup of water, "I think you might have had a growth spurt recently" replied her mother, Yumi was confused before she noticed where her mother was looking, "MUM" she said as she downed her cup of water, then she heard Hiroko yell "Bathrooms free" Yumi put down the cup saying "finally".
(=======================================================================)
Back at Kadic, Aelita made her way to the Girls bathroom, there was a massive line spanning to the other end of the corridor, with one girl standing on the opposite side of the hall, Aelita walked past them and took her place at the back of the line, the bathroom door opened and Sissi and Sissi alone exited,
"About time" said one of the girls in the line, "finally" said another "every morning it's the same thing" said Millie, Tamyia nodded in agreement and said "Yeah things might start moving along now that Sissi's done", but as she said this Sissi drew near, "shut up kiddies" she said, Millie and Tamyia watched as she walked off both sticking there tongue out at her, Sissi stopped when she noticed Aelita, "poor thing you'll be here for another two hours" said Sissi, she then placed her arm around Aelita "why not go up stairs there're some showers free up upstairs, and not a girl in sight" said Sissi, Aelita smiled and started to walk towards the stairs, she climbed them not bothering to wonder why Sissi had shown her the generosity, she found the showers on the floor above, she opened the door and walked in, suddenly there was some yelling and Aelita was pushed out by Ulrich, Odd, and Dallas who were all half dressed or less, Odd had just a towel on, Ulrich had most of his clothes on, and Dallas had his jeans on, "the Girls showers are down stairs Aelita" said Odd as he held up his towel, then they heard Jim storming towards them, "Aelita Stones, Hey what do you think you're doing here" Said Jim, "please go easy on her Jim she's new here" said Ulrich, Jim knew this fact but it was still a serious offence "right new or not, a young lady has no business in the boys showers" said Jim, then Dallas noticed Sissi, Herb, Adam and Nicholas standing around the corner, then he noticed something that shocked him, Aelita was scared slightly, "but I thought that…" she said trying to explain herself, "I don't want to hear your excuses, Pull that again and you go straight to the principals office" said Jim before he stormed off down the hall, then Sissi and her group moved from around the corner "Well Miss Einstein it's just like I said, not a girl in these showers" said Sissi, then she noticed that Dallas and Ulrich both had looks of anger on there faces, Odd was more comforting the embarrassed Aelita, "Sissi, we're sick of your bad jokes so chill" said Ulrich he then looked at Aelita, "can't you give her a break for once you knew she'd believe you" he added, Sissi smiled proud of her achievement, "what can I say Ulrich sweetie, she's gonna have to adapt isn't she, It's a jungle out there" replied Sissi, Odd started laughing as he said, "You can say that again, I'm looking at a big baboon right now", then the warriors started laughing, "shut up you" said Sissi as she and her group started walking away, "Who was that other girl" asked Odd, Dallas quickly walked back into the showers putting on his boots and grabbing his jumper, "you two grab my stuff I'm gonna take care of something" said Dallas in a blunt mood, "Why what're you up to" asked Ulrich, Dallas smiled and said "I'm just gonna give Adam and that new girl a small nose job" before he walked off, Odd then walked back into the showers, "does that guy not wear socks" he said, Aelita watched on as Dallas walked after Sissi's group, she was upset at being tricked, it was something she'd have to get used to, she knew that research had nothing compared to experience.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas walked down the hallways, when against Adam he hated being unarmed but he didn't have time to get his weapons, he pushed open the doors before yelling,
"ADAM" he looked back with the girl standing next to him, Adam smiled before looking at Sissi saying "go on ahead we'll sort this shit out", Sissi smiled and walked off with Nicholas and Herb, Adam smiled as he started walking towards Dallas, "well what is it" he asked sarcastically, "whose this bitch" asked Dallas as he threw a punch towards Adam, but he missed and Adam grabbed Dallas by the arms and held him as the girl walked towards him, "my, my just like you said, he does have a temper problem" said the girl as she sarcastically clapped, "I believe you've already met Evelyn" said Adam, Dallas nodded saying "I believe I've had the misfortunate", Evelyn was wearing a red shirt with a power symbol on it above a strange design, underneath the shirt was a brown fleece jacket, her trousers were regular jeans, "So let me guess she's new here another agent" said Dallas, Adam nodded and said "smart for once, she's my older sister" Dallas looked back at him before looking at her, "I feel bad for you Adam, I can see the resemblance" said Dallas, Evelyn was angered by this comment and moved towards him, Dallas had baited her as using his free legs he quickly lifted them to Evelyn's head and using all his weight moved to his left and flipped himself, along with Adam and Evelyn over, Dallas quickly slid around until his feet where level with their faces, as they both moved up ready to attack him, Dallas quickly back flipped off the ground connecting both of his feet into their heads causing them to flip over, Dallas landed on his feet, "just as useless as you then" said Dallas as he limped away as he'd caught his knee in the fall.
(=======================================================================)
After their first few lessons the warriors met up with Yumi in the courtyard, they'd gone to the vending machines, Dallas was looking around making sure they weren't being overheard,
"But you think, this owner of the Hermitage and this science teacher are the same person" asked Yumi, she was the only one who wasn't entirely convinced, "Well two guys named Franz Hopper within the space of two miles would be a coincidence" said Ulrich as he placed his hand around her shoulder, she smiled at this gesture and began to feel his chin beard that he'd decided to keep, "Well there's only one way to find out, after history class we have a study period in the library, what do you say we do a bit of research in the Kadic Archives" said Jeremie, Dallas and Odd smiled and nodded their heads, "good idea" said Odd, Dallas clicked his fingers via his thumb, "I'll come too" said Aelita, Jeremie then looked grim as he looked towards her as the bell rang, "I don't think that's a good idea" Said Jeremie, Aelita was shocked to say the least, "You've already gotten into trouble in the showers today, if Jim catches you sneaking around in the archives, you'll be suspended for sure" said Jeremie as he, Dallas, Odd and Ulrich moved towards the Class rooms, Yumi moved over to Aelita "Are you alright Aelita" said Yumi as she placed her hand on Aelita's shoulder, "I can't get used to living here, I had another nightmare last night, the same one" said Aelita, Yumi smiled saying "you haven't even been here for a week yet, you'll see you be fine, unlike me I've got a killer headache", Aelita smiled as she was slightly reassured before following after the others towards her class, "I'll see you at lunch" said Yumi as she waved before walking towards the science building.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich, Odd, Dallas and Jeremie moved towards the Kadic Archive, since it contained information regarding Details about students and staff past and present, it was locked behind a door and the cabinets inside were also locked, so Dallas had to be quick, they all crouched as they approached the room, they noticed a teacher was standing in a teachers lounge photocopying and filling away some documents, Dallas moved first before signalling for the others to move,
"you two stay on watch me and Jeremie will find the documents" said Dallas as he moved towards the door, "how long will it take" asked Jeremie, Dallas quickly said "how does a minute and a half sound" he said as he unscrewed the second screw, "a minute two long" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled as he removed the forth screw, he quickly turned the mechanism and unlocked the door, he replaced the screws and entered the room after Jeremie, the later moved towards a filling cabinet, "E, F, G, H for Hopper" said Jeremie as he found the Cabinet draw, Dallas quickly extended his blade and began to unlock the cabinets, whilst outside the teacher who was in the teacher lounge moved towards the room, "oh shit" said Ulrich as he and Odd moved towards them, "should you two be in class" said the teacher, Ulrich and Odd smiled, "well we're looking for a teacher" said Ulrich, the mood of the teacher changed, from angry at hooligans to happy at bright students, "Oh really which one" she asked happy to help, at the same time Ulrich said "Mr Fumet" and Odd said "Mr Charten", the teacher was confused as the two smiled, back in the room Jeremie was looking through the papers to find Hopper, "Hopper, Hopper, Hopper" he said, whilst Dallas was Looking through another file, "What kind of a middle name is Mildred" said Dallas, Jeremie looked up and asked "Sissi's middle name is Mildred", Dallas looked down and said "no Herbs", Jeremie raised his eyebrows trying not to laugh, he quickly found the file he was looking for, it was covered in dust, he then grabbed the piece of paper he'd printed earlier and compared the signatures "bingo" he said, he quickly returned the folder as Dallas shut the cabinets and quickly locked them, luckily for the two of them the door only required a key for the outside, "come to think of it, if this time of day if you can't find your teachers it means they're probably in class" said the teacher, Jeremie and Dallas moved away from the room, with Jeremie saying, "It's okay guys, I found mrs Hertz" he and Dallas quickly walked past with Odd and Ulrich following quickly, the teacher was confused.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita was in the cafeteria, she was looking at the food, and without the others she felt lost, she suddenly felt a shove with a kid behind her saying,
"hey what're you waiting for", Aelita looked back to see a line of people, she placed her tray down and moved along the line, she looked at the plates of food but nothing looked advertising, "come on, move it" said another person, she moved along smiling uncomfortable, the lunch lady who was a large woman wearing a hair net with a grey shirt and a bright orange apron stood behind the counter, she was well liked by the students and she in turned liked them back "well sweaty, franks and beans or steak and potatoes" she asked, Aelita looked at the options but was being rushed by the people behind her as they said "come on hurry up, we're starving over here", the lunch lady shook her head in disappointment as she knew Aelita was scared she looked back Aelita was gone, she gave a stern look as the students who had just hassled Aelita moved forward.
(=======================================================================)
The others moved from outside the main building, Dallas looked back to make sure they weren't being watched by the teacher,
"That was a close one" said Odd, they stopped walking "well" asked Ulrich, Jeremie smiled and said "no doubt about it, they're the same person, I've compared the teachers signature to the one I found on the note, They're the same", Dallas nodded "he taught here for a while, during the 80's actually, what's strange is he taught till 89 then moved away, the property deed said he owned the house from 95 onwards" said Dallas, the others were confused at the mans strange actions, but thought nothing much of it, "what if we have a look around the Hermitage to find out more about this teacher" said Ulrich, Jeremie smiled and said "Good idea, Dallas you game", the aforementioned nodded and they started walking towards the woods, "but aren't we supposed to meet Aelita in the cafeteria now" asked Odd, the others looked back and Dallas said "she'll be with Yumi, so we arrive a bit late we'll explain then", Odd was convinced and they moved off.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the cafeteria Aelita looked at her empty tray, she felt so lost, she only had a bottle of water, then she noticed Yumi walking out of the toilets,
"Yumi" she said before she started to walk towards her, then Yumi turned around and rushed back into the toilets, Aelita was confused but upset, she noticed William looking confused as to why, Aelita exited the building, she noticed Sissi standing with Nicholas and Herb behind her "so, going back to the, Great, White, North" said Sissi, Aelita started to cry and said "why not at least I feel at home there", Aelita started to walk off but as she exploded in tears she started running towards the woods, with Sissi laughing as she ran away, watching from around the corner Adam and Evelyn watched and smiled.
(=======================================================================)
At the Hermitage, Ulrich and Odd looked around down stairs, whilst inspected the shelves Ulrich looked at the steam room and smiled,
"what're you smiling at" asked Odd, Ulrich turned back and said "not important", the latter moved towards the shelves "anything of value" he asked, Odd shook his head "no nothing, there are no pictures of the man, nothing" said Odd, whilst upstairs Dallas looked around in the main bed room, the bed looked like it had been rushed out of, the windows were smashed and the closet had been cleared out, as had the draws, Dallas noticed a rabbit as it sat on a chair he raised his crossbow and fired a bolt into it before walking towards the animal and grabbed it before saying "thank you" he then placed it into his bag and walked towards the stairs, down stairs Jeremie was looking at the extensive library that Franz Hopper had obviously held, unlike the rest of the house it was nearly in intact, some wood damage to the shelves and some dust had covered it, but one book stood out from the classical works, the physic textbooks and the history books, "what's this doing here" said Jeremie as he pulled it out of the shelves, Dallas, Ulrich and Odd walked in, "what's going on" asked Odd, Ulrich looked at the book, "the Tunic wars? What's that" he asked, Jeremie looked towards him and said "Punic not Tunic, the war between the Romans and the Carthaginians, we studied it last yeah, don't you remember anything", Ulrich shrugged his shoulders, "no" he said, Odd smiled and said "you really are lame in history", Ulrich shook his head, Jeremie opened the book and said "you see all these notes, I'm sure Hopper wrote them".
(=======================================================================)
At the factory Aelita was still crying as she created a program that delayed materliazation it set up a timer and started to count down as she walked towards the elevator, she stepped in and went down to the scanner room, she walked towards the scanner that had been built for her and rubbed it, knowing that despite it was a gift from Jeremie and Dallas she knew it wasn't meant to be, she stepped inside as the doors closed and she was virtualized.
(=======================================================================)
Back at the school, Mrs Hertz was reading off names and telling some of the still rowdy students in her class to quiet down,
"Quiet" she said sternly "Jeremie do you know why Aelita isn't here" she asked, then at that moment each of the warriors realised that they'd forget about Aelita, "oh Fuck" said Dallas Mrs Hertz looked at him and said "Out", Dallas stood up and walked outside, "Aelita's not here" said Jeremie as he looked towards Aelita's empty chair, "sorry ma'am I don't" said Jeremie, Mrs Hertz was just as confused, "well I do ma'am she went back to Canada" said Sissi, the others leaned forward as Jeremie said "CANADA" he was shocked, Sissi turned back with a smug look saying "yeah that's what she told me, she said she was going back to the great white north", Mrs Hertz put Sissi in her place, "Elizabeth, if you continue to disrupt the class, I'll be forced to your fathers office" said mrs Hertz, Sissi whispered under her breath, "its Sissi, not Elizabeth, you bitch", the warriors looked at each other, Jeremie quickly placed his hand to his head and said "ma'am um I don't feel well, can I please uh go to the infirmary", as he stood up "Of course Jeremie" said Mrs Hertz then Odd and Ulrich stood up saying "Can we take him", Mrs Hertz had a look of disagreement on her face and said "Oh all right then, but don't take long", once outside the class room the warriors started to speed walk down the corridor, "Jeremie where are we heading" asked Odd as Jeremie started to run, "to the factory" he said, Odd looked towards the others and said "do you think Aelita's there", Jeremie stopped and looked back at them "she told Sissi she was going back to Canada, I think she mean I'm going back to the place I came, which means Lyoko" said Jeremie, the warriors quickly ran down the hall, whilst On Lyoko Aelita was walking through the forest sector, she was moving towards her former home tower, when she suddenly noticed a block moving out from behind a tree, she gasped at the sight of it.
(=======================================================================)
Having rushed to the factory as fast as they could Jeremie sat down at the computer console, he quickly started typing as the others watched from the elevator,
"Okay I've found her, she virtualized herself all on her own" said Jeremie, Odd was confused "that's pretty weird why would she do that" he asked, Ulrich looked towards him, "maybe she got home sick" he responded, Jeremie looked back towards them saying "does Yumi know", Ulrich smiled saying "I left her a message", Jeremie nodded "get to the scanner room hurry" he said, Dallas quickly pressed the button as the elevator descended, "Come on you old rust bucket" said Dallas, back in the lab Jeremie pressed a button and turned on the mike, "Aelita can you hear me" said Jeremie, whilst in the forest sector Aelita had been at stand off with the Block, "Answer me" he said, the block started to move towards Aelita, she gasped as she turned around and started to run away, whilst in the lab the elevator opened to show Yumi with a towel and covering her mouth, "Yumi" said Jeremie hoping it wasn't Adam, "I got uh… got the message at the swimming pool" she said, she looked at Jeremie "what's going on" she asked, Jeremie didn't look towards her as he was focused on the screen, "hurry to the scanner room, the others are already there, I'll explain later" he said, then Yumi hit the button and descended to the scanner room, "Jeremie help" said Aelita as the block started to catch up with her, "Aelita don't worry the others are on the way", he quickly started typing and selected the warriors ID cards, "transfer Odd, transfer Ulrich, transfer Dallas, Transfer Yumi" said Jeremie, then their ID cards began to lighten up "Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Dallas, Scanner Yumi" said Jeremie as in the scanners the four began to spin and rise "virtualization" said Jeremie, the warriors blue squared outlines appeared before gaining detail and dropping to the ground, Ulrich's appearance had updated his new beard was visible "do you see her" asked Jeremie, the warriors quickly examined the area, "not yet" replied Ulrich, Jeremie quickly looked towards the Radar, "she's due north" said Jeremie, the warriors quickly started running down the nearest path towards Aelita who was cornered by two blocks, "Jeremie I'm surrounded" she said as she noticed the other block walking towards her, "Hurry up, Aelita's fallen into a trap" said Jeremie, Aelita looked around before noticing another path, but there was a gap between the two platforms, she ran towards the edge and jumped, a hail of Lasers from the blocks narrowly missed her as she grabbed onto a vine from the side of the platform she'd grabbed onto, back down the path, The warriors were getting closer but at the same time they were no where near Aelita, "go ahead Ulrich, with your speed you'll get there first" said Odd, Ulrich smiled and replied "okay, right" they suddenly stopped when Yumi said "too late" they turned around when Yumi pointed and said "Krab", the aforementioned creature moved towards them, "There's another behind you" said Jeremie as another appeared behind them, meanwhile Aelita climbed up onto the platform, the Blocks continued to fire on her, "Aelita's bought some time" said Jeremie, the warriors were back against each other, Ulrich drew his Katanna and said "Your move Odd", Odd lowered his hand and said "I love this", he quickly dropped to all fours, the Krab in front of him fired a laser, he quickly jumped out of the way and began to climb a tree, "lets go" said Dallas as he drew his Tomahawk and jumped towards the Krab, the Creature fired towards him missing, "Dallas you'll never hit that it" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled as he slid underneath the creature "that's not the plan" he said, the Krab fired towards Odd causing him to jump from his position, Yumi quickly back flipped underneath the Krab, but on the second she fell over, "YUMI" shouted Ulrich as he super sprinted towards the other Krab taking out it's front legs causing the creature to collapse, Ulrich quickly picked up Yumi, who threw her fan towards the downed Krab destroying it, "Yumi are you okay" Asked Ulrich, "yeah I just feel a bit weak" replied Yumi, meanwhile Odd had moved around the tree, the Krab was continuing to fire at him, but each shot missed, he Jumped off the tree moving towards the Krab shouting "LASER ARROW", he then unleashed a barrage of laser arrows striking and destroying the 2nd Krab, "nice going guys, but the Blocks are catching up to Aelita" said Jeremie, Odd smiled and said "what're you waiting for call us a taxi", Dallas placed his hand towards Odd, "Jeremie don't program The over-board" he said, Ulrich realised what he meant, "Odd take the Over-wing, Yumi ride as his second" said Ulrich, Jeremie shrugged his shoulders and began to program the necessary vehicles, whilst at the end of the sector Aelita stood on the very edge this time there was no where to run, "hurry Jeremie" she said, back at the others, the Over-Bike, Over-wing and Dallas's baton formed, "lets move" said Dallas as he dived forward and pulled the baton apart, he shot forward followed by Ulrich, Odd quickly stepped onto the overboard, he turned and helped Yumi up, "Thanks Odd" she said, Odd then grabbed the handles and they moved on after the others, "the others are coming to get you" said Jeremie, but Aelita was now standing on the edge, she looked back at the digital sea below, the point of no return, The Blocks suddenly started to back away, Aelita took a few steps forward, suddenly she felt an ominous presence, she turned around and scream, "AELITA" said Jeremie.
(=======================================================================)
A few Minutes later the warriors arrived, the area was empty the Blocks and more importantly Aelita were gone. Odd quickly flew the over-wing towards the tower vines that went into the white void, just in case Aelita was crawling along them, Ulrich quickly sped around the area, Dallas moved along the edge of the plato just in case she had managed to escape, they quickly returned at Aelita's last known whereabouts
"Where could she have gone" asked Odd as he parked the Over-wing, "she must really be mad at us" he added, Dallas quickly pulled up and leant backwards pulling down his hood, "this is no time for joking Odd, I've lost Aelita from my screen" said Jeremie, it was clear from the tone of his voice he was gravely concerned, "I can't see a trace of her, not even a fresh footprint" Said Dallas, Yumi immediately thought of the worst, "you mean she's" said Yumi, Jeremie quickly broke out of his small trance "no, I doubt it, she just disappeared from the screens" said Jeremie as he began typing trying to locate her, "Like I said, I'd have found a foot print on the edge, but there are newer ones further inland" said Dallas, then they heard Jeremie say "wait what's going on", he looked at the screen numerous screens full of text appeared he quickly got to work cracking the codes, "got it, I got a signal" said Jeremie, then another window opened showing a sphere "a weak one, but a signal, hey that's strange" said Jeremie, the warriors looked at each other before they looked up, "Aelita's not in this sector anymore" said Jeremie, Ulrich sighed and asked "where's the way tower", but he didn't get the answer he wanted "she's not in any sector actually, "wait can you explain that better" Asked Ulrich, Jeremie shook his head and said "no not really, she's in a sector that doesn't exist", the warriors were confused "do you think she could be in an early program a glitch of sorts" asked Dallas, the others were confused, "what do you mean" Asked Yumi, Dallas looked towards her and said "well in some video games, there are areas that were originally programmed, but at some point they were scrapped so they were made inaccessible except via a glitch", the others looked at him funny "what's going on, Jeremie's the code monkey" said Odd, Jeremie was none to please with the name, "I may have reversed engineered a few games" said Dallas, Jeremie looked at the screen "no its not that the coding hasn't been blocked it's a 5th sector" said Jeremie, the others were surprised, "A 5th sector have you gone bananas or what" asked Odd, Dallas shook his head and said "Jeremie me and you went other every nut and bolt of Lyoko how can there be a 5th sector", Jeremie was just as confused, "I know, if I could just fix this thing, then I'd…" started Jeremie then another window opened, "Welcome to Carthage" said Jeremie as he red the text atop of the window.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita awoke, she was lying down inside a massive dome, the floor was white, whilst the dome itself had numerous single line slits running from one side to another never crossing over into another, the floor itself was a giant XANA logo, a single white section arose from onside of the dome and moved to the other between two of the slits, suddenly the floor began to rotate, Aelita looked around as this happened then suddenly the white line stopped in front of her, it appeared to show a corridor she started to walk towards it, whilst back in the forest sector the warriors were standing on the edge looking towards the white void,
"is this going to talk long Jeremie" asked Yumi, "I hope not" he answered then suddenly they heard the buzzing that meant only one thing Hornets, "now things are really starting to buzz" said Odd as he and Yumi climbed onto the Over-wing, Dallas quickly jumped onto the Over-Rider and Ulrich onto the Over-bike, "lets go" said Dallas as he shot up moving towards the Hornets followed by Odd and Yumi, Ulrich quickly flicked a switch and the wheel on the Over-Bike rose slightly and it began to fly up with them, Odd quickly fired an arrow destroying one of the Hornets, but suddenly another three began to purse the Over-Wing, Yumi quickly threw one of her fans and took out the three in one throw, Ulrich quickly returned to ground level dodging the Hornets shots, he then jumped shouting "SUPERSPRINT" he began to flip forward at an impressive speed with his Katanna drawn he moved like a throwing star, he quickly sliced through the Hornet, before he landed back on his bike and hitting the brakes, "Jeremie what're we doing" he asked, Jeremie was looking at the Carthage window, "I've got a little problem" said Jeremie, Odd shrugged his shoulders "as long as it's not a biggie" he said sarcastically, "I need a password, something to do with Carthage I think" replied Jeremie, Ulrich shrugged his shoulders as he started moving again "This is no time for a history lesson" he said, Jeremie quickly remembered the book he took from the Hermitage, "A history lesson, that's exactly what I need" he said as he stood up and walked over to his bag saying "too easy", Dallas quickly turned to avoid a shot from a Hornet, "History aint gonna help Einstein, its here and now that's the problem" he said, Ulrich quickly rode up along side a Hornet and drew his Katanna and slashed through it causing it to blow up, but the victory was short lived as another Hornet fired at him clipping the Over-Bike it devirtualized, Ulrich suddenly began to fall to the ground, But Dallas flew towards him, He quickly returned the Over-rider to the baton mode and grabbed Ulrich, and before the two hit the ground he extended the Baton again and the Over-Rider re-Virtualized, and the two shot forward again, "thanks" said Ulrich, "laser arrow" said Odd as he destroyed the Hornet that had taken out the Over-Bike, but another Hornet moved up behind him, "oh shit" said Odd as he quickly dodged another shot, Jeremie tried a password "Hannibal" he said as he typed the word, it was incorrect, he typed Hamilcar next, it was also incorrect "Jeremie, any day now" said Ulrich as two hornets gave chase to him and Dallas, "hang on" said The later as he started to dodge between the trees, "Hannibal's sister" said Jeremie as he typed Salammeo, it too was incorrect, Meanwhile Aelita walked towards a blue wall at the end of the small path that she had followed, the floor looked like it was comprised of two massive light blue blocks next to each other, whilst the wall was many different shades of blue in a repeating pattern next to each other, each shade was 1 cm across before the next shade, the wall suddenly opened up to reveal another corridor this one diverting right, Aelita started to follow it, she looked around treading carefully then suddenly she saw a massive creature it stood at 6 foot tall trumping Aelita's height, it had a massive metal tail, whilst the torso section was brown and thin, its head had a mouth with a laser cannon inside of it, instead of walking around on four legs this only had two and would slither around, Aelita screamed and began to run further down the corridor with the strange creature in pursuit, back in the computer Jeremie was typing franticly "the Nemesis of Carthage" said Jeremie as he typed Rome, it was incorrect he smacked his hands on the keyboard saying "No dice" he said as he looked down at the book, "when you're ready Einstein" said Odd as he dodged the Over-Wing from numerous Hornet lasers, "Hey I'm doing my best" replied Jeremie, Yumi looked up as Dallas and Ulrich quickly moved away from the trees and towards the path, "Jeremie we're not gonna last much longer" said Yumi, Dallas quickly moved the Over-Rider towards the ground and began to scrape it, Ulrich raised his leg in fear of scraping it on the ground "sorry" said Dallas as he noticed, "hang on I'm certain I'm close" said Jeremie, Dallas and Ulrich then saw another swarm of Hornets ahead of them, Dallas quickly turned around and shot forward back towards the others, "oh no I don't believe this" said Yumi as she noticed, Dallas stopped and returned the Over-Rider back to the Baton, "I'm going around in circles here" said Jeremie as he skimmed through the pages of the book, "welcome to Carthage" he said to himself, then he quickly thought and said "Hang on, if you wanna go into Carthage, you have to defeat Carthage, who defeated the Carthaginians", he then looked through the book, back on Lyoko the warriors drew their weapons, "Scipio" said Jeremie as he typed it in, he hit enter saying "come on", it was correct he smiled "I can't believe it" said Jeremie, back on Lyoko the Hornets moved away from the warriors, "hey where are they going" asked Dallas as he lowered his crossbow, "The hornets are calling it quits" answered Yumi, then they noticed a Silver sphere with a purple XANA logo on it fly towards them "what's that ball doing there" asked Ulrich, then ball flashed and then it was half a sphere it moved around the warriors before flashing again and it was a complete sphere "I think the code word Scipio made it appear" said Jeremie, The sphere then moved across the sector into the white void.
(=======================================================================)
Whilst the four sectors were located next to each other, they were each at a 90 degree axis with what was believed to be nothing at the centre, but at the centre of each of the sectors was a massive blue going on white Sphere, at each 90 degree axis there was a massive data stream of blue screens going to each sector, the surface of the Sphere wasn't smooth it consisted of numerous Blocks, and between two data streams a section was arched up with a platform and a small opening, each of the data streams terminated at a larger Sphere that was made up of the digital sea, the Interior the sphere took on no recognizable appearance it was all blocks that would raise from the ground and the walls, it was all square the only round section of the entire area was the Dome, the Silver sphere appeared before opening up, the warriors looked around as it disappeared, Odd fell to his knees, whilst Yumi walked away for a second and began coughing,
"how did you do that Jeremie" asked Ulrich, Dallas looked around before walking towards the walls and placing his hands on it, "just say I got a little help from Franz Hopper" said Jeremie, Dallas looked back towards the others as Jeremie said "welcome to sector 5 everyone", Yumi stood up having stopped coughing, "what does it look like" she asked, Jeremie looked at the holo-map, it had shifted from the four sectors to a 3d representation of Sector 5, "a Sphere" said Jeremie then a new window opened and showed a timer counting down, "uh oh" said Jeremie, Dallas looked up and said "ah fuck, Jeremie", Jeremie leaned towards the screen "it's probably bad news" he said, further into sector 5 Aelita was being pursued by the creature she backed into a larger room, there were more of the same monster, Aelita looked around, there was a massive drop it appeared to be a bottomless put so Aelita dared not jump down, numerous Blocks stuck out of the wall almost like steps except they were spread apart, suddenly a wall opened up and a massive squid type creature appeared, its cranium was transparent whilst inside was what appeared to be a strange looking brain, below the cranium was a massive Purple metal looking spine, around the neck section were four claws, with XANA's eye located on the front of what appeared to be another black head, extending from the mid section were numerous small tentacles, the creature floated down some stairs towards Aelita, "Jeremie" she said in total fear, "Jeremie" she said again as the creature stopped in front of her and raised two tentacles, "I think Aelita's being attacked and times almost up" said Jeremie, the warriors quickly looked around for an exit "can you guide us" said Yumi, then they noticed the white section, "take the foot bridge behind you, hurry up this is no time for sight seeing" said Jeremie, the warriors quickly moved towards it, Dallas grabbed his baton ready to dive forward, but as he looked at the blue light it had turned red, "what" he said as he sheathed it, further along the squid wrapped its tentacles off Aelita pulling her off the ground before placing the ends a cm away from the sides of her head, "SUPERSPRINT" said Ulrich as he began to charge down the corridor, the ends of the tentacles began to lighten up as Aelita fell into a trance, new windows opened on the screen showing Aelita with her brain and a number quickly counting down, "Hey what's going on" said Jeremie, Ulrich quickly entered the room he noticed the squid, "uh Jeremie, there's this thing in here" said Ulrich in bewilderment, the others caught up to him "destroy it, that thing is taking away Aelita's memory" said Jeremie, Yumi quickly drew her fans, then Dallas noticed Adam and Evelyn, "you get Aelita" said Dallas as he drew his tomahawk and charged towards the two, they smiled as he jumped towards them they moved either side, but instead of hitting the ground Dallas dropped his weapon and landed on his back, before placing his hands above his head on the ground and propelling himself onto his feet, Adam Dived towards him but Dallas turned with a jumping kick, he kicked Adam in the mouth sending him to the ground, Evelyn quickly pinned him to the wall, Dallas quickly watched as Ulrich super sprinted with his sword into one of the brown creatures, and as Yumi threw her fans into the squids midsection causing it to drop Aelita, Ulrich quickly caught her, Odd started to fire Laser arrows at the brown creatures, the brown creatures started firing lasers towards them, Dallas quickly head butted Evelyn getting her off him, then the warriors noticed that the room began to compress in on itself, Dallas grabbed his Tomahawk and shouted "RUN" the warriors started to run down the corridor, Adam reached for Dallas, but the latter did another spin kick knocking the former into one of the Moving sections causing him to get crushed, Dallas quickly ran after the others as Jeremie said "get out of there", Evelyn started to pursue him, The warriors quickly cleared the corridor, "All right I'm calling the sphere" said Jeremie, but Yumi was adamant "no wait for Dallas" she said, then they noticed Dallas running down the corridor with Evelyn in pursuit, he jumped and turned in mid air swinging his crossbow into his hand he fired a bolt striking Evelyn in the eye, she fell to the ground as she was crushed and Devirtualized by walls, Dallas landed outside the corridor but skidded off the platform and off the edge, he reached out for the side, but he had already fallen too far, he extended his blade and smacked it into the wall, "DALLAS" screamed Yumi in desperate cry for her friend, but he climbed up the wall, Yumi and Ulrich looked down as he climbed up back onto the platform, "Are you okay" said Ulrich as he and Yumi knelt down to, Dallas started laughing, the two looked at each other as he said "I fuckin love this place" then he fell unconscious, Ulrich shook his head as he grabbed Dallas by the arms and pulled him towards the centre of the dome, "Now what Jeremie" asked Ulrich, Jeremie loaded the window again and typed "I'm re entering the code" said Jeremie, then the silver sphere engulfed them again and they were transported back to the Forest sector, "and there you go" said Jeremie as the sphere opened and Aelita ran into the tower, "I'll bring you in" said Jeremie, then he started to devirtuallize the others as he loaded the code earth program, the scanners opened and the warriors stepped out exhausted but Yumi looked Pale, "you okay" said Ulrich, Yumi nodded as Odd pulled Dallas out of the scanner, they looked at each other before deciding to punch him in the face, Dallas quickly shot forward, "what happened" he asked as the others laughed.
(=======================================================================)
Some hours had passed and after clearing everything up with the teachers and getting into some detention for swearing and skipping class, Yumi had returned home whilst the others were in Jeremie's and Dallas's room,
"You should have seen it Jeremie, There were all these creepy things" said Odd, Dallas looked towards him leaning forward off his bed after having put his jacket and wings behind his pillow, "Creepers, seems appropriate" he said, Odd smiled "and in the middle, this kind of huge Jellyfish holding Aelita" he added, Aelita shook her head at the funny feeling "can you imagine that thing was stealing my Memory" she said at the uncomfortable thought, "yeah one things for sure, XANA wants to get something out of you, but what, that's what we need to find out" said Jeremie, Ulrich smiled and spoke up "I can't wait to go back to the fifth sector there's so much to explore there" he said, Jeremie shook his head and Dallas sat up and faced him, "not so fast, I have to study it first" said Jeremie, Dallas nodded "right now it's best if me and Jeremie look into the place, Jeremie will work the Computer side, I'll explore" said Dallas, Odd looked towards him and asked "why do you get to go", Dallas closed his eyes and looked down saying "Because I'm more expendable Odd, if anything happens to me it doesn't really matter", Odd was at a loss for words to respond "yeah for now it's Uncharted Territory, which means it could be totally dangerous" said Jeremie, the last words hurt Aelita, "you're not angry at me for going back to Lyoko by myself" she asked, The others smiled "I don't know what got into me I just needed to…" she added but Jeremie was quick to make her feel better, "you don't have to explain Aelita, we understand what happened, we're not angry at all" said Jeremie, Aelita broke a smiled "I promise to spend more time with you" said Jeremie, Aelita blushed but only Dallas noticed it, "yeah and if you want I'll teach you plenty of ways to teach Sissi to go fu…" started Odd but then they were interrupted as the door opened to show Sissi standing there, "Odd, do you know what your filthy mutt did in the show" said Sissi, then she noticed Aelita sitting on Jeremie's bed, "what a pretty picture" she said, Dallas smiled and said "I don't see one right now" as he shifted his eyes over to Sissi, she off course ignored the comment "so you've finally found mrs Einstein" she said mocking them, "yeah whilst you were taking your third shower of the day" said Ulrich, "and you still stink" said Dallas, again Sissi ignored the comment, "Well Ulrich dear, a beautiful flower like me needs to be watered often" said Sissi flicking her back, "Yes you never know, you might just sprout a brain" said Aelita, Sissi was taken back, Usually it was either Odd or Dallas who would throw quips at her, the warriors laughed at her as she stood dazed in the doorway, "Morons" was all Sissi could say as she walked away, "I think you can give Odd lessons Aelita" said Ulrich.
