Episode 62: A Wolf in Sheep's clothing
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich and Yumi shot forward through the dessert sector on the Over-Bike,
"Okay guys it should be up ahead" said Jeremie as he and the others looked on the radar, Ulrich had volunteered for the small recon mission, but he hadn't been able to stop Yumi tagging along, Ulrich came to a stop and the two dismounted, "okay you should see it" said Jeremie, Yumi looked around seeing the displaced sand and rocks, "what happened here" she said as she drew her fans and walked towards it, "Jeremie is there anything else you can tell us" asked Ulrich as he looked around, Jeremie shook his head and "there was a massive energy build up here", Aelita spoke up saying "didn't you say there was also a speed up in the programing", Odd was confussed as to the technical speak, "what, speak English" he said, Aelita looked back and said, "as the energy build up occurred the super computer sped up as if some space disappeared", Odd acted like he understood, whilst back on Lyoko Ulrich moved towards the centre of the circle, "is this an equivalent of a crop circle" said Ulrich, Yumi rolled her eyes as she moved away from him, "hang on guys" said Jeremie, Aelita and Odd looked at the screen, "there's another power build-up" said Jeremie, Aelita quickly grabbed his arm and said "pull them out", Jeremie nodded and said "Okay guys I'm pulling you in", Ulrich looked at Yumi "Jeremie pull Yumi in, I'm gonna stay here and watch what happens" said Ulrich, Yumi turned and looked at him, "Ulrich no" she said as she was devirtulized, Yumi appeared inside the scanner, "damn it Jeremie" she said, she was out of breath and feeling queasy, "We've lost one person, we don't need another lost" she added as she stumbled towards the elevator, Ulrich looked around, but nothing was happening, "Ulrich the power is building up, do you see anything" asked Jeremie, but Ulrich was seeing nothing out of the ordinary, suddenly the power build up ended, "what the hell" said Jeremie as he typed trying to trace the build-up, "anything" asked Odd, Jeremie shook his head sinking back into his chair, "I wish Dallas was here, it'd be easier if he could run a hardware check" said Jeremie, he was still feeling guilty but wasn't showing it, "Aelita take over I need some air" said Jeremie as he stepped out of the chair, "Jeremie" she asked but he stepped away without answering, she quickly sat down and placed in the ear piece, "okay I'm bringing you in Ulrich" said Aelita.
(=======================================================================)
The city was bustling at night, the traffic was moving quickly whilst many people carried on with what they were doing, in a dark alley way that many people would pass but would take no notice to, there was a spark, followed by a massive ball of lightning, it dispersed, the concrete floor looked charred and had been damaged, at the centre of the damage, was Dallas, he stood up from a crouched position, steam was emanating from his naked body, he took what appeared to be a deep breath, he was silent as he stepped out of the damaged section, he was walking towards the alley exit but suddenly there was shouting, two people had stepped out from a building, one of them was Colombian, he was wearing a sleeveless shirt to show off an above average build, his hair was slicked back and his beard was pencil up until his Goatee, the other man was Chinese he had short hair and a clean shave, he was wearing a black shirt with long sleeves and Black Cargo trousers,
"What're you doing, you Jincho" he asked loudly, Dallas turned back and looked towards them, he eyed the two up, his build outmatched them, "Zhè shì yīgè tā mā de jiānguǒ, tā zài zhège chéngshì de yībùfèn chìshēn luǒtǐ" said the Chinese man, the Colombian sniffed the air, "Voy a disfrutar esto" he said as he charged towards Dallas, he threw a punch, Dallas didn't move as he was smacked around the face, the Colombian looked up before jumping and kneeing him, Dallas grabbed him and threw him towards a pile of trash bags with a near in human force, the Chinese man pulled a Chinese letter engraved 'the forging of Damascus steel' knife from behind his belt, he charged at Dallas swiping it side to side, he slashed across Dallas's chest but he grabbed the man's arm, he twisted it causing him to drop his the knife, he then grabbed him and threw him through the open door, before stepping towards the man, "your clothes" said Dallas in a cold tone.
(=======================================================================)
The next day came around only a few hours later, William was in the gym, he had some gloves on and was throwing as many punches as he could in a minute against the punching bag, he wasn't lacking at all, he stopped as he heard a beeping, the minute was up, she stooped and pulled off his gloves as he moved towards the bench, he grabbed his phone and looked at messages he'd sent Dallas, each of them read sent,
"Come on" he said, no one had anything from him in almost a week, and no one seemed concerned, "where is that guy" asked William as he grabbed a towel and began to wipe his head, he grabbed his bag and moved towards the showers, he was having trouble concentrating, Dallas would always help him with getting over Yumi, but he was finding it difficult to move on without the help, he grabbed his towel before walking into a cubicle.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich and Yumi were laying on a blanket and Pillow in the woods, the pillow was so Yumi was comfortable, Saturday afternoon was a good time for a break, and the two decided to get some alone time together,
"whats wrong" asked Ulrich as he noticed her rubbing her belly, "what would you want" she asked, Ulrich was confussed "I mean gender" she clarified, Ulrich felt stupid for not knowing what she meant, "I dunno really, what about you" he asked, Yumi smiled as she moved her head to his chest, "a boy personally, there is no way I could raise a girl" she said laughing, Ulrich laughed and said "we're much worse to deal with", Yumi smiled at him as she tickled him, "do you want to find out as soon as possible" she asked, Ulrich was stumped with the question "I'm not exactly sure, myself I'd prefer a surprise, but I'm gonna agree with what you want" said Ulrich, he was expecting flack, but was surprised as she rolled on top of him and began to tickle his little stubble on his chin, "for once this time, I think I'll let you make the decision" she said before kissing him.
(=======================================================================)
The others were sitting in Jeremie's room; Aelita had told Odd about Jeremie becoming slightly mentally unhinged about Dallas,
"Jeremie I think you should take a break" said Odd as he placed his hand on Jeremie's shoulder, "Odd do you not understand what I'm doing here" said Jeremie, it was clear that he was under stress, Aelita turned off his screen, "Jeremie you need to take a break" she said as she sat down on his lap, Jeremie want to look away from her but he found himself unable to, Odd rolled his eyes as he stepped towards the door, "Jeremie you're taking this too hard" said Aelita as she placed her arms around him, he began to cry about everything, Aelita just simply ran her hand through his hair, "I shouldn't have let him go" said Jeremie as he began crying, "we're all hurt by his death" said Aelita, Jeremie looked up at her, "but you can't keep it to yourself" she said, Jeremie crackled a small smile but was still blaming himself, Aelita just hugged him again.
(=======================================================================)
Across town Dallas exited the Ally as cops had closed the area off after numerous people had noticed the smoke from the sphere; Dallas was wearing Black Cargo pants and a black long sleeve shirt along with black leather steampunk boots, he moved the tape and looked around making sure no cops could see him, he looked around, his movements looked almost mechanical, he looked around before noticing a gun store, he coldly walked across the street towards the store, he didn't look as he crossed cars swerved to avoid him, he entered the building, the clerk of the shop was sitting behind the counter as Dallas walked towards him, the clerk looked old in his 50's a larger man with grey hair around the side of his head and prospector type moustache, his eyes were covered by thin spectacles,
"Can I Help you son" asked the clerk, his voice was gentle and caring Dallas looked at the weapons, "Olympia shot gun" he said, the clerk raised his eyebrows as he turned around and stepped off his chair and grabbed the shot gun off the rack behind him and handed it Dallas as he inspected it, he aimed down the sights and flipped the front forward and inspected it, "good choice" asked the Clerk, Dallas looked at the weapon rack, "Walther P99" said Dallas as he placed the Olympia on the table, "a fan of Bond" said the Clerk as he handed it to Dallas, he repeated the same basic actions as he did with the Olympia, "Uzi Pistol" added Dallas, the Clerk was confussed but grabbed it off the rack anyway, "well son which will it be" he asked, Dallas looked up and said "All", The clerk nodded slightly saying "I might close early today", Dallas looked at him, "I'm going to need to have to fill out…" he started but Dallas grabbed him and rendered him unconscious, Dallas then moved towards the door and locked it.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich and Yumi returned to the school, it was still light out being barely 3 in the afternoon, Sissi and her group were watching them from the distance, although it was obvious that only Sissi gave a damn,
"can you believe those two" she said it was obvious she was angry, "woman you're obsessed" said Adam as he lit up a smoke, "well Ulrich is rightfully mine" said Sissi, Herb was clearly hurt he liked Sissi but she like Ulrich, "why would he want you" said Evelyn, Sissi turned back and looked at her, "because I'm sexy as all hell, and more his type" she said closing her eyes and turning away, "you're flat chested, and use so much make up to the point your eyebrows are sponsored by Nike" said Evelyn, this caused Nicholas to chuckle, and Adam to laugh uncontrollably, Sissi was frustrated by that comment, Adam then noticed his watch and said "we've something to take care off", Evelyn looked at him before following him, "Whats XANA planning" asked Evelyn as they were far enough from the others, Adam grinned and said "let's just say Dallas's return won't be what they've expected", but unbeknownst to them William was on the other side of the Pillar and was overhearing everything, "XANA?" he asked to himself confussed, whilst on the other side of town, Dallas emerged from the gun store wearing a long dark grey coat, he then began walking towards Kadic.
(=======================================================================)
Thanks to Aelita's intervention Jeremie moved out of his room and was with the others in Ulrich and Odd's room, Ulrich was on his bed with Yumi laying across his lap, Jeremie was sitting at Odds desk, whilst Odd was on his bed laying down with Aelita sitting at the end,
"See isn't this better" said Odd, Jeremie was more calmer, "yeah I suppose" he said as he looked at Odd's numerous drawings, each of them were something that Odd knew, including XANA's monsters, if anyone ever saw them no one asked any questions, he smiled at Odd's detailed drawings, "did you draw all of these Odd" asked Jeremie as he brushed through them, "Yeah considering we've been at it for nearly 2 years, I thought why not benefit from it" said Odd, Ulrich laughed "he puts more effort into them than he does fighting them" he said causing the others to chuckle, "yeah real funny" said Odd as he threw a pillow at him, Jeremie shook his head slowly as he continued to look through the pictures, he noticed one of them was of a lesser enemy, "Odd whats this one" he asked as he held it up, "god I have a bed memory of that thing" said Ulrich as he recognised the robot that twice attack him, an X-600 as Adam called it, "I think I've done pretty well considering that I never got a clear look at it" said Odd, Jeremie put it down next to a drawing of the him and the others, "I think it's downright creepy" he said getting a cold shoulder from the look of its near Human skull complexion that managed to be both near accurate and menacing at the same time, "what was it like facing that thing Ulrich" asked Aelita, Ulrich looked towards her as Yumi began to stoke his chin again, "it was horrible, like facing a Skeleton made of metal" said Ulrich before shuddering at the mere thought.
(=======================================================================)
William was confussed as to what he'd heard, he kept thinking it over, Adam and Evelyn knew what'd happened to Dallas yet hadn't said anything, he knew that Dallas's and Adam's feud was a long one but it wasn't something to hide a disappearance over,
"It doesn't make any sense" said William to himself as he turned a corner in the courtyard, suddenly he was caught off guard as he was pinned to a wall by Dallas, "Dallas, you're back" said William, but Dallas seemed to ignore what he said and asked "Belpois, Stern, Ishiyama, Aelita, Della-Robia, where are they", he began to tighten his grip of William's shoulders, he thought it weird that Dallas was asking considering he usually knew where they were, but he thought back towards what he'd heard, "I saw them heading into the words" he said, Dallas let go off his shoulder and turned his head looking towards the area, Dallas then turned away and walked towards it, William looked at him noting the strange cold complexion that he had, he turned the corner and darted back towards the dorm building, he barged past a few students, he stumbled and fell but quickly returned to his feet, he dashed inside and ran up the stairs as fast as he could, he knocked on Jeremie's door, there was no answer, he then rushed towards Ulrich and Odd's he knocked, "whose there" asked Odd on the other side, but William had no time to waste as he barged in, "William" said Yumi sitting up, "ever heard of being welcomed in" asked Ulrich, William was heavily panting, "Dallas is back" he managed to say coughing heavily, everyone looked at him shocked and confussed.
(=======================================================================)
"William slow down" said Yumi as Odd handed him a bottle of water, "Jeremie you said" started Aelita, Jeremie cut her off, "I know what I said he can't be here" he said, William looked at them, "okay I don't know whats supposedly happened between you guys and him, but he's outside looking for you and he looks severely fucked off" said William downing more water, "that can't be Jeremie, you said if he fell…" started Ulrich but he was cut off by a more angry Jeremie, "I KNOW WHAT I FUCKING SAID IT'S IMPOSSIBLE" he shouted, William was confussed, suddenly there was a knocking on the door, Odd opened the door, "Dallas" said Odd, Jeremie looked at him, but Dallas said nothing, he stepped forward, William moved aside as everyone looked at him, "How did… you should have… what" asked Yumi, but Jeremie was nearly in tears thinking that he was gonna be angry at him, suddenly Dallas reached into his coat and pulled out the P99, he pulled the chamber back, William quickly grabbed the gun from his hand, he then watched as Dallas swung at him, William ducked as everyone watched in confusion, Dallas reached into his coat and drew the Olympia, it had been modified to fit in a holster, the barrels had been sawn off and the stock had also been removed, "NO" shouted William as he pulled the trigger of the P99 he unloaded 6 shots into Dallas, "William no" said Aelita at the last second, they looked at the him, he'd been knocked out of the room into the hallway and had fallen down, 5 smoking halls emanated from his chest, "William you idiot" said Ulrich, William looked at the hand gun before looking at Ulrich, "okay he may have been pissed but he was going to shoot you" said William, but then they looked at Dallas as they heard screaming from other students, suddenly his finger twitched, William raised the weapon again, but Ulrich grabbed his arm and lowered it "no" he said, suddenly Dallas sat up, the sixth bullet had stuck him in left eye, "Dallas are you okay" asked Yumi, Dallas didn't answer as he reached and pulled the bullet from his eye, the result was a mess, but his eye wasn't healing, he pulled out the Chinese engraved knife, "is this normal" asked William as he was miss informed, but they all got a shock as Dallas began to cut around his eye and removed the flesh and the eye socket, Aelita screamed.
(=======================================================================)
Behind Dallas's eye was not the skull but a cybernetic eye, reminiscent of the X-600 but it was clearly more advance,
"Run" said William as he raised the gun and began firing at the creature again, the others ran out of the room, Odd was behind them with his armour raised from his skin, William found the gun clicking he then threw it down and ran after them, Dallas stood up he drew the Uzi and fired it at William but he ducked and slid out of the door avoiding every bullet as it punctured the wall, he quickly caught up to the others, "okay so Dallas is a fucking psychopathic robot" said William confussed, "well this sort of shit is normal" said Odd, then they realised that standing around was probably not the best idea, "Ulrich you best get us out of here" said Jeremie, Ulrich looked around, "okay but I can only take two at a time" he said, William looked at him and said "what do you mean" suddenly Aelita and Yumi disappeared, he looked around confussed, then Odd and Jeremie disappeared, suddenly the creature emerged from the building, William began to step away as it drew the Olympia, suddenly William found his location had changed, he was in the forest, he looked around not seeing the school anywhere, "what" he said unable to find any words, "get down here if you wanna live" said Ulrich as he descended into the sewers, William looked around and followed him down into the tunnel, he quickly dropped and looked around, "okay we all safe" asked Ulrich as he threw up into the water, "yeah we're all here" said Jeremie, Aelita looked at the hatch, "he won't follow us down here for long" said Aelita, the others were confussed, but Aelita dropped to her knees and she began to sing, the man hole hatch began to cover with ground that was indistinguishable from the rest of the forest, a tree also grew over it looking like it had been there for years, "you people are crazy" said William, then the others began running down the tunnel, "come on, if it finds you it will kill you" shouted Yumi, William shook his head and quickly ran after them.
(=======================================================================)
The creature moved around the school, it's stiff and machine like movements scared anyone who saw it, they often ran off screamed as they saw the robotic Eye,
"Well looks like you have some work to do" said Adam as he stepped towards it clapping, Evelyn rolled her eyes "so this is the X-800 doesn't seem any better than the old model" she said laughing at its failure, "X-800 prototype, designed for hunting and killing, less vulnerable than a spectre" it said, Evelyn couldn't help but laugh, "they're probably heading to the factory" said Adam, the machine turned around and began moving towards the woods, "XANA thinks that hunk of junk will work" asked Evelyn as they moved towards a fuse box, "it should, XANA has decided to field test the new model" said Adam as they entered the fuse box, Evelyn was still sceptical "it failed to kill them" she said, but the last thing she heard as Adam passed into the fuse was "who said it was meant to kill".
(=======================================================================)
The warriors and William exited the hatch onto the bridge, William looked around making sure the X-800 wasn't around, the others emerged after him,
"Why are we here" said William, Yumi looked at Jeremie, "we should tell him" she said, William was confussed "tell me what" he asked, but he was ignored "not now" said Jeremie, as he and Aelita began running across the bridge, Odd followed him, Ulrich looked at William and grabbed his arm, "I'm not particularly fond off you, but if you don't come with us, that machine will most likely hunt you down and kill you" said Ulrich, William looked away from the factory, "I've not any choice" he said, Yumi smiled as Ulrich began to run along the bridge, "we can protect you" said Yumi, then William began running with Yumi behind him, he followed her down the ramp and to the elevator, "Are you sure it's wise bringing him" asked Jeremie, all it took to convince him was Ulrich nodding, Jeremie shook his head with disbelief and pressed the button, "so we're gonna be safe here right" asked William, but no one answered him, then the elevator opened and William was a taken back by the computer room, "this is what we've been doing" said Yumi, William stepped forward in amazement, the others followed as Jeremie sat in the chair, "launching the scan now" said Jeremie, but Odd spoke up, "what if that thing can track us" he said, Jeremie looked at him, "we better hurry up then as soon as the tower is located" he replied, but Ulrich caught on, "we don't know how long we have and you're too vulnerable, even if you can control electronics we don't know if you can stop that thing" he said, Jeremie looked down, "what do you suggest" he asked as he moved the chair away from the screen, "me and Ulrich stay here, Aelita needs to deactivate the tower, Yumi would be hazard to keep around right now" said Odd, Yumi looked at him "no offence" he added, Jeremie shook his head "we need as many people defending Aelita as possible, we can't spare anyone" said Jeremie putting his foot down, "what about William" suggested Yumi, the room went silent, "what" asked William, Jeremie wasn't keen on the idea, "we take a vote" said Jeremie, the other warriors nodded, "those against" said Jeremie, no one raised their hands but Ulrich spoke up in defence, "I'm not against him joining, but after what happened with Dallas, do we want to risk anyone else" he said, the others looked at him beginning to doubt themselves, "I'm willing to take that risk" said William, he rolled up his sleeve to show a white bandage around his wrist, "I didn't quite tell you the truth Yumi" he said, the others knew what the bandages were, "when I got expelled I took it rather roughly, so I'm willing to risk my life to help if needs be" he said, the others were silent, "okay but under protest" said Jeremie.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich looked in the toolbox whilst Aelita and William descended into the scanner room via the ladder; Ulrich pulled out a wrench and tested its weight in his hand,
"Ulrich" said Yumi as she moved to him, Ulrich turned around and looked at her, "stay safe" she added as she hugged him, "come back for both of us" she said, Ulrich began to feel the pressure but didn't say anything, Yumi followed the others down the hatch, William looked at the scanners running his hand down it "does it hurt" he asked looking at Aelita, "nope, whilst on Lyoko you've got one goal, Protect me and get me to the activated tower, that's the one with a red aura" she said as she moved towards a scanner, William took a deep breath, "I wouldn't, trust me that doesn't help" said Yumi as she stepped into her own scanner, William stepped into one, "get ready" said Jeremie, he selected an empty card "Scanner William, Scanner Aelita, Scanner Yumi" said Jeremie, the scanners closed, William was nervous and was breathing heavily, "Transfer William, Transfer Aelita, Transfer Yumi" added Jeremie as they began to spin and rise, "Virtualization" said Jeremie, they felt the blast of air, their blue squared outlines appeared and gain detail, whilst Aelita and Yumi landed on their feet William landed on his backside, he was dressed in a white, grey and silver spandex, the white covered his torso and the outside of his arms, whilst the inside was grey, his legs were grey with silver sections on the outsides, a black line ran down his torso deviating to the left side on his upper half before returning to the centre and upwards again, his feet were covered by a silver metallic boots, and a red sash around his waist, he stood up looking around the desert sector, "Wow" he said as he looked at the environment, "William welcome to Lyoko" said Jeremie, William was amazed at what'd happened, "Jeremie you know black is my Colour" he said as he looked at his Attire, "the avatars are chosen by our own minds" said Yumi, William looked at Yumi and Aelita, he was shocked by the latter's ears, "alright guys spawning your some vehicles" said Jeremie, he quickly looked at Ulrich and Odd, "better get going" he said, Ulrich nodded as he handed Odd a wrench, "this is gonna go badly" he said.
(=======================================================================)
The Over-Bike and the Over-Wing spawned, William looked at the two vehicles and their unusual design,
"Which is mine" he asked, Yumi rolled her eyes and stepped onto the Over-Wing, Aelita stepped on behind her, William was shocked as he mounted the Over-Bike, "Watch out for monsters" said Yumi as she shot forward, "Monsters" asked William as he began to roll forward, "also be careful of Adam and Evelyn" said Aelita as she yelled back at him, "what" he asked as he began to speed up, whilst back on the factory floor Ulrich and Odd moved towards the Elevator,
"what're you doing" asked Odd as Ulrich began to climb on the frame, "well I think it's best that we slow tha down" he replied as he found the cable box and descended the elevator to the bottom of the shaft, he then released the Cables and they fell to the bottom of the shaft, "that should slow em down" said Ulrich as he moved off the frame again.
(=======================================================================)
William was getting a handle of the Over-Bike, he was slowing down to a crawl at times, but others he was speeding up, this just made the girls laugh at him,
"Hey I'm knew to this" he said, then they heard the roaring of two engines, "Whats that" asked William, Jeremie looked at the radar, "get moving guys the towers due east, but Adam and Evelyn are coming up fast" said Jeremie, Yumi quickly Sped up as did William as quickly as he could whilst still able to control the vehicle, "Scanner Odd THEY'VE GOT THE NEW BOY" shouted Adam as he rocketed past William causing him to wobble, "Jesus fuck" said William, Yumi looked back and began to speed up again, Evelyn followed suit and passed William causing him to wobble again, but he regained control and sped up, Adam reached out to grab Aelita, but Yumi quickly moved away, but this was Adam's Plan as Evelyn was on the other side of her and she grabbed Aelita causing her to scream "YUMI" she yelled as Evelyn rendered unconscious, "WE GOT HER DOUBLE BACK" Shouted Evelyn, she placed Aelita across the front of her bike on her back, she turned around and Adam followed her as they went back across the sector, "Guys you need to get her" said Jeremie as he began to panic, William turned around the Over-Bike and began to follow them, but unfortunately the Over-Bike was too slow, "Jeremie we may need the Over-Rider" said Yumi, Jeremie quickly began typing but it wasn't working, "what… It's not spawning" said Jeremie, and then he looked as it was already in use, "what the hell" he said to himself.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich and Odd paced the factory floor, they were hoping that the machine wouldn't show up, but they knew it would,
"Scared" asked Odd, Ulrich nodded and said "I've got my blood to protect", Odd moved towards him, "we'll get through this we always do" he said, Ulrich was still nervous though, "yeah but is it worth it, We've lost Dallas and we're endangering William now" he said, Odd didn't know how to respond, "we'll beat that fucking robot then you and Yumi can have a life with your child, have faith" said Odd, Ulrich smiled but they knew this was the calm before the storm.
(=======================================================================)
"We've won" said Adam as he moved up alongside Evelyn, she smiled as she looked forward, whilst up ahead the Over-Rider came to a holt, it was out of view of Adam and Evelyn, a leather booted figure placed his Leg on the ground and looked forward at the approaching vehicles, suddenly the Over-Rider shot forward and directly towards them, "whats that" said Adam as he noticed it coming towards them, whilst behind them William and Yumi were catching up on the Over-Bike, "Jeremie" said Yumi, but Jeremie was just as confussed, Adam quickly realised what it was as he swerved away from Evelyn as he was almost hit dead on by the Over-Rider, he flipped and collapsed onto the ground, he looked up as the Over-Rider turned around and gave Pursuit towards Evelyn, "it can't be" said Adam, Evelyn looked back as the Vehicle was gaining ground on her, she began to panic as she tried speeding up, but it failed as the figure pulled up alongside her and grabbed Aelita and pulled away, Evelyn caught up in the shock failed to notice a rock formation, she tried turning but it was in vain as she crashed into it and was thrown from the bike, suddenly the Over-Rider came to a stop, the figure stepped off, it was dressed in Black trousers, up one leg was a grey and Silver brace supporting the knee, Black Leather boots and on the torso was a leather Jacket with one sleeve removed with a shoulder pad on that arm, it was studded onto the jacket, around the right leg was a holstered Sawn-Off shotgun with a crowbar in front of it, across the jacket was a belt that went around the waste and over the left shoulder, attached to it were numerous tools, a knife and Binoculars, underneath the Jacket was a torn black shirt, and on his hands damaged gloves, hanging from the cut sleeve was a red cloth, he walked away from the Vehicle and slowly towards Evelyn as she laid on the ground, he drew the Sawn-off as he stopped in front of her, she looked up and confirmed what she'd seen, "Dallas" she said as he pulled the trigger devirtulizing her, the Over-Bike came to a halt and Yumi ran towards Aelita to check she was okay, "Dallas" said William as he noticed him, but Dallas didn't reply as he looked toward him and holstered the weapon.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich and Odd heard a loud noise as the X-800 made his way down the rope; it looked around,
"NOW" shouted Ulrich as he swiped the wrench across the robots skin as he moved from behind cover, it only succeeded in tearing the skin off, it looked towards Ulrich as the jaw of the Endoskeleton was revealed, it swung its arm and Ulrich was thrown due to the power, "ODD" shouted Ulrich as he hit a girder, Odd then quickly threw a bucket of gasoline at the Robot, it drew the Olympia and pulled the trigger, Odd managed to survive the shot as he raised his armour and it succeeded in destroying his shirt, but the heat of the Barrel sparked the Gasoline and the X-800 was engulfed in flames across the soaked sections, it threw off the coat, but part of the clothing and skin underneath was covered and was already in flames, it swung itself frantically trying to extinguish itself, eventually the flames died down, it's ender skeleton wasn't damaged but the skin in the right side of its body had been burnt off leaving a horrifying image, it looked towards Odd as he helped up Ulrich, "That's is freaky" said Odd as they moved away, the robot followed the, "any more ideas" asked Odd, Ulrich looked up at him, "yeah just one" he said, as they moved towards the far side of the factory, the X-800 followed moving at a fast pace.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi looked over at Dallas as he moved back towards the Over-Rider, William stepped of the Over-Bike and ran towards him,
"Dallas" he asked, but Dallas didn't reply, Aelita began to come to, suddenly they noticed a rock fall from the nearside cliff, suddenly another figure slid down the rocks, he was dressed in grey robes, with a metal plating over it's right shoulder, and metal vambraces on both arms, he wore a belt with 10 knifes on both sides of the torso, his boots were also grey and on the left shoulder was a bit of fur, the hood was down showing a scarf around his neck and revealing the wearer as Dallas, "Dallas" asked Yumi confussed, the robed Dallas walked towards her and looked at her, he asked "how do you know that name", his voice had no trace of Dallas's Australian accent, "Do you not recognise me" she asked slightly hurt, the leather clad Dallas spoke up, "they've both said it, even the one I Devirtulized" the leather clad one had the accent but it was more pronounced than usual, "I'm sorry, neither of us know who you are" said the robed Dallas, Aelita moved off the Over-Rider, "then why did you save me" she asked, the Leather Clad Dallas looked at her, "we set out with one goal, destroy XANA" he said, William was confussed as to what was happening, "Jeremie are you seeing this" he asked, Jeremie was looking at the screen shaking his head, "I don't know whats going on" he replied, Aelita stepped towards the Leather clad Dallas and extended her hand, "thank you" she said as she placed her hand on his face, but she couldn't get a reading, "Jeremie he's only half of Dallas" she said before panicking, she then moved to the other one and repeated the action, "What do you mean" asked Jeremie, Aelita almost cried, "he must have been split into two" said Aelita, William was weary off the two, he reached behind his back, a ZweiHander spawned in his hand he drew it and pointed it towards the two, "we've already been attack by one Dallas today, who's to say these two won't attack us" said William, the two Dallas's looked at each other, the Robed one raised his hands whilst the Leather Clad Dallas stayed still, "Then why save me" asked Aelita, the two Dallas's looked at her, "she makes a good point" said Yumi, William was still sceptical, "okay whats the plan" he asked as he sheathed his weapon, Jeremie spoke up, "I say we team up with them" he said, the two Dallas looked at each other and Nodded, "do you know about the tower" asked Yumi.

Ulrich and Odd ran towards the V8 interceptor as they found themselves at the dead end of the factory,
"You better hurry up" said Odd as he watched the X-800 moved towards them, Ulrich moved underneath the car, "hopefully he added it again" said Ulrich as he found the detonator, he moved out again, "we need to get him here" said Ulrich, the machine grabbed the Uzi and began firing at them, Ulrich grabbed Odd and dropped the to the ground, the Bullets pierced the fuel Barrels behind them, the gasoline began to pour out onto the floor, the X-800 moved towards them swinging its arm out, but it punctured the fuel drums, it tried moving but found it's arm stuck, Odd and Ulrich moved away, "Get down" said Ulrich as he again pushed Odd over, the Car exploded again rocking the factory, the X-800 was engulfed in flames during the explosion, the car was blown apart, "Dallas would be pissed about that" said Odd as he looked at the burning Shell of the car, "too right" added Ulrich, the two collapsed against a girder exhausted, they felt the heat of the burning wreckage.
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko the warriors and the two Dallas's looked at the factory from atop of a small hill, numerous Krabs were guarding the Tower, and below them a few of the armour Warriors,
"Haven't seen those guys in a while" said Yumi, the two Dallas's each had something in their hands, the leather clad had his binoculars, whilst the robed one had a periscope, the leather clad one looked up at him before grabbing the periscope and handing him the Binoculars, "that's a bit rude" said William as he rolled onto his back, "he's always like this" said the robed one, the Leather clad Dallas collapsed the Periscope and handed it to his counterpart, "well there's the tower, we got a job to do" he said as he stood up to leave, "what're you doing" asked William as he grabbed the Robed Dallas by the leg, "there's the tower, me and me have to take care of a different problem" he said, Yumi looked at them, "oh no, we had a deal" she said, Aelita stood up saying, "if they're just being stubborn we can handle this ourselves", but Jeremie intervened, "William, go with the robed Dallas, the other one will stay with us , "Sounds like a bargain" said the leather clad, "we got a deal" he said, William moved back towards the Over-Bike and the two shot off towards the opposite end of the sector, "whats the plan" asked Dallas as he watched them off, "we go head on" said Yumi, he looked at her confussed.
(=======================================================================)
The silver warriors watched the Horizon as the Over-Bike darted away, one of the warriors raised its arm to stop its comrades from moving after it, then it noticed a dust storm moving towards them, but it was the Over-Rider coming at them, Dallas quickly turned as he got closer, he drew the Sawn-off and pulled both triggers, the Silver warrior was blown backwards and exploded with a gaping hole in its chest, Dallas smiled as he shot forward again, he flipped the front forward and placed it over his arm, and unloaded the spent shells, the Krabs turned and fired at him but managed to miss,
"the Bastards suicidal" said Jeremie unable to comprehend the recklessness of what he was doing, suddenly one of the Krabs Exploded as Yumi's fan pierced the chassis causing it to explode, they turned their attention towards Yumi but this gave Dallas another opportunity to drive by, he quickly fired both shells into another silver warrior destroying it, he quickly jumped at the remaining one beating it down with his crowbar, Jeremie just shook his head, the Krabs turned to fire but more of them were destroyed by Yumi's fans, "Go Aelita" said Yumi, Aelita jumped off and ran into the tower as Dallas pried the Silver warriors helmet off causing it to explode, "now we wait" he said.
(=======================================================================)
Odd and Ulrich stepped up from the Girder having regained their strength,
"I wonder whats taking them so long" said Odd as he looked at the dying flames, but then they noticed something moving, the X-800 endoskeleton was stripped off all flesh and organic materials, Unlike its predecessor it was more armoured than the exposed areas, it's feet were more human like, it was red hot as it moved towards them, "will nothing stop this thing" said Ulrich as they backed away, meanwhile Aelita began to levitate to the top floor of the tower, she placed her hand on the screen the word Aelita typed out followed by Code Lyoko, "tower deactivated" she said, suddenly the eyes of the X-800 dimmed and the machine fell apart leaving a scrap heap behind, "good job Aelita get ready for a return to the past" said Jeremie, he quickly typed and said "return to the past now"…
(=======================================================================)
Earlier that day the warriors were in Jeremie's room, Yumi grabbed Ulrich and wouldn't let go off him,
"Thank god you're safe" she said almost crying, "I'm fine" he said, Odd shook his head at them, suddenly they heard a knocking on the door, "I wonder who that is" said Aelita sarcastically, Ulrich opened it to show William, "okay what the hell was that" he asked, Jeremie had almost forgotten about him, "William you haven't told anyone" he asked, William chuckled and said "like anyone would believe me", the warriors sighed, "that my friend was called a return to the past" said Odd, Jeremie looked at him, "well we now have a decision to make" said Ulrich, William was confussed "what do you mean" he asked, the others all looked at him, "William, will you join us" asked Aelita, William smiled and said "I doubt I have much of a choice", the others smiled and they all grabbed him in a group hug, suddenly they heard a massive yell "DUNBAR" it was Jim roaring, "oh shit" said William, on his way up to the others he'd accidently knocked over Jim, "I know you're in here" said Jim as he burst open, but to his and the others surprise he was gone, "oh sorry I thought I heard Dunbar in here" said Jim, then they noticed William standing behind Jim, they were all surprised, but as Jim turned around closing the door, William vanished in a small cloud of black smog that dispersed leaving no trace of his existence, he then reappeared in the same effect in the room, "so you can teleport now" said Odd jealous of him, "yeah, I was wondering why I could do that" he said, Ulrich shook his head and patted him on the back saying "we've got a lot to teach you", causing them to laugh but then Jeremie realised, "what do we do about the two Dallas's" he asked.
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko the two Dallas's looked at each other as they stood on the edge of the sector,
"Are you sure you have the code" asked the leather clad one, the other one rolled his eyes as a screen opened, he quickly typed Carthage, the orb appeared and the two were engulfed, the two were transported to sector 5, the sphere opened and the two looked around at the dome, "if I'm right we need to stay in here and wait for the correct passage to open" said the robed Dallas, he sat down cross legged as if he was meditating, "get of your arse" said his counterpart, suddenly the dome opened, but unlike when the others would enter sector 5 this time it opened on a factory like structure, the two walked out, the assembly line that XANA had stolen from the factory was being used to build the X-800 machines, "so this is where he made it" said the robed Dallas, he quickly began typing, as his counterpart looked around, he looked at a deactivated one and tapped it on the head, "its dead, just scrap" he said as he moved away, "that should do it" said the robed Dallas as a timer began, the other one moved towards him, "what've you done" he asked, "I'm going to blow this place sky high" the other replied, unbeknownst to the both of them one of the Machines became active, "me and that William would have done it sooner but the return to the past was activated" said the robed one, suddenly his counterpart was grabbed and thrown back into the dome, "NO" shouted the remaining Dallas as he drew his sword to defend himself, he looked at the timer, 30 seconds remained he moved towards the Dome but the passage sealed itself, "fuck" he shouted but then he noticed that three of the X-800s had become active and were moving towards a portal, "no" said Dallas as he jumped down and followed them into the portal, all four of them were engulfed as the timer hit Zero and the factory exploded, the remaining machines and the equipment was destroyed as it exploded, the other Dallas banged against the wall "can you hear me" he said as the explosion engulfed the room.
