Episode 77 – Contact
(=======================================================================)
The warriors minus Dallas were sitting in his and Jeremie's room, Jeremie was sitting at his computer as usual, Aelita was next to him sitting atop of his desk with her hands between her legs swinging them gently, Yumi and Ulrich were sitting on Jeremie's bed with her cuddling up to him, Odd was laying down half asleep and William was standing up against the wardrobe,
"you'd think he'd hang around with us now that he's back" said William, Aelita looked towards him "For him it's not been anytime at all" she said, William shrugged his shoulders "I'm just happy he's safe" said Yumi, Ulrich nodded in agreement, "I wonder where he's gone though" he asked slight concerned, Jeremie smiled and said "No idea but whatever he's doing it must be important to him"
(=======================================================================)
As usual Jeremie was right, the dead of the night that had engulfed the city and the nearby mountain was suddenly and quickly interrupted by the roar of a V8 Engine, Dallas smiled as he pulled up the red button and the air scoop suddenly shook and roared along with the engine, the wheels moved at an incredible pace as he came up to a turn, he slammed the brakes and pulled up the handbrake turning the wheel, without even losing an ounce of speed the interceptor drifted around the corner, and without any effort the car straightened out and rocketed down the road, Dallas changed gears as he came up on the next turn before repeating the same manoeuvre as he turned again, then as he sped up he noticed a Ferrari being driven at a similar pace, the driver of the other car was an older gentlemen, wearing a cowboy hat,
"well looks like I got myself a wanna be" he said to himself as he placed his foot down, but the interceptor was still keeping up speed, Dallas looked at the rear lights as he turned to overtake but the driver had an ego "you're gonna be looking at my rear lights the whole way down boy" said the driver but Dallas wasn't giving up as he placed his foot down again as they came up to the turn the driver turned and the Ferrari was barely at an angle, but then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw the interceptor was almost going sideways behind him "This guy got a death wish" asked the driver to himself, but Dallas wasn't done as he began to speed up again as they levelled out and were now driving a straight section, "sharp turn" he said as the driver began to slow down but Dallas didn't as he flawed it again "What the hell that wreck less idiots gonna go straight into the fucking guard rail" said the driver as Dallas turned the wheel slightly and he sunk his wheels into the drain and then at an unnatural speed the interceptor blasted around the corner with almost no resistance, "WHAT IN THE SHIT" said the driver as he slammed on his breaks and in the panic scraped the side of his car on the guard rail before smacking into the wall and deploying the air bag, "was that some fucking ghost" said the driver as he collapsed out the car looking out at the mountain range as the roar of the V8 engine echoed through the area.

A few days had passed and everything was slowly getting back to normal, Jeremie had been in the computer room practically every night for those few days, Dallas decided to join him for protection, whilst Jeremie sat at the computer screen typing away, Dallas was stitching up the damaged sleeve on his jacket, something he'd not found the time to do,
"Come on, come on" said Jeremie as he launched a program, text typed out on the window but then the window with the exclamation mark appeared, "damn this piece of shit, I'm so lame" said Jeremie, Dallas stood up and walked over to him, "What's this now 6 times" he asked looking at his friend, "I lost count 4 times ago" said Jeremie morbidly, then the door opened with Aelita, Yumi and Ulrich entering "Hi Einstein" said Ulrich as he waved, Yumi watched as Dallas sewed up his sleeve, "Hey, you want some help with that" she asked, Dallas chuckled and replied "You don't need to be a mother yet" as he looked up and then realised whilst he had finished sowing up his sleeve, he'd also managed to sow his hand as well, "oh" he said as the others turned their attention to the computer, "Any progress" asked Aelita, Jeremie shook his head, "I've been spinning my wheels for days trying to find the antivirus, but it's one step forward two steps back" replied Jeremie as he collapsed into his chair, "And don't get me started on Franz Hoppers diary" he added as he began to slide out of the chair, "It's only a matter of time" said Yumi, Jeremie looked at her optimistically, "even with the latest data from sector 5, I've barely moved ahead one micron" replied Jeremie, Aelita stepped forward and placed her hand on his shoulder "It'll be fine" she responded, Jeremie shook his head and said "Maybe I'm just not good enough", the others looked at him, "okay I know someone who needs to air out his neurons, and here's how to do it, Odd is screening his short film" said Ulrich, Jeremie cheered up as he asked "Anyone seen any of it", Yumi shook her head "He wouldn't let us" she responded, Jeremie smiled knowing how much Odd loved the arts "Do we know who's in it at least" he asked direly.
(=======================================================================)
The star of Odd's film was the only person in school desperate enough to be the lead star of a student film, and that one person Sissi Delmas, this was of course a ploy by Odd so he could guarantee it being played at the Kadic film club, Sissi herself felt like she was being interviewed for a red carpet premier, as Millie and Tamiya stood recording her for the Kadic newspaper,
"I don't think it's unfair to think that this first role will reveal to the entire world my true star personality" said Sissi, the two younger girls were holding back laughter at Sissi's vanity, "can you sum up the story for us in a couple of minutes for the Kadic news" asked Millie as she held her microphone forward, "uh… well it, it's a love story and at the same time it's a thriller, with suspense and a good dose of phycology, and it's funny, a real comedy" said Sissi off the top of her head, "so you have no idea" said Millie seeing through Sissi's comments which caused her to panic, "Uhh, I gotta go, someone's calling me" said Sissi as she ran off leaving the two girls and anyone around laughing.
(=======================================================================)
Everyone moved into the main hall, the teacher an older gentlemen who aside from Father Mulcahy was the oldest staff member, his hair was grey and natural fell backwards but stood outwards, he was clean shaven and dressed in a grey turtleneck and white coat more fitting a scientist, although it was full of pens and he wore a directors lens around his neck,
"Old Chardin fancies himself Kubrick" said Dallas as the warriors found their seats in the back row, Sissi feeling that she was the star of the film sat in the front row with, Nicholas, Adam and Evelyn, the latter two felt like it was a waste of time, Nicholas however didn't share the opinion, Chardin moved towards the podium, "Odd the fact you directed is that why you were using the pen to draw a funny moustache on your face every day" asked Ulrich, this caused Dallas to burst out with laughter in his chair as he hunched over "not that bloody Dali moustache again" he said as he almost fell to the floor, Chardin took the centre of the stage, "Welcome to the Kadic academy's cinema club short film night" he said, his accent was one of the thickest French accents imaginable, no one could really understand what he was saying half the time, and most of them were just waiting for the films, "Nervous Odd" asked William as he looked at his shaking friend, "No, no I'm cool" he said, the others chuckled "I never would have guessed" said William as he turned towards the front of the room, in the front row Sissi was clearly nervous, "Relax you're gonna be great" said Nicholas, Sissi smiled at the compliment, "Thanks, but move your hand or lose it at the elbow" she said to Nicholas who in pure fear did so, "The short film, is, was and always will be an important art form, which can say as much as a full length feature, our first film is by Odd Della-robbia and is entitled, rather poetically, Natural grandeur" said Chardin, Odd getting nervous tried to get up and walk out but Aelita grabbed him and pulled him back down, "No one has seen it yet" added Chardin as a screen lowered from overhead behind him, and Delmas who stood at the back operated the projector, and the film began to rolk
(=======================================================================)
from the opening credits it said a lot, Sissi huffed as she was depicted in the title card as being a strange creature one to be feared, as she stood blacked out only faintly visible with piercing white eyes,
"Comic sans really Odd" said Yumi as she looked at her nervous friend, "Help, Help, she's awake oh no" said Odd in the film as he ran down the dorm hallways before running into the films depiction of Jim, Jim was portrayed by a fellow student whom the credits identified as Roman Le Goff, Roman was dressed exactly like Jim and did his best imitation of Jim's voice "What's, all, The, Big, Racket, About" he said in a slow and dull tone, causing the audience to laugh even Jim then it dawned on him that they were laughing at him not with him, and he stopped slightly upset and folded his arms "We have to get out of here, she's, she's, she's coming" said Odd as he looked directly at the camera, "She's coming I tell you, she's as big as her ego" added Odd which earned him the biggest laugh so far, "That's, impossible, you, know, how, big, that, would, make, her" said Roman which continued to earn laughs, Sissi raised an eyebrow confused, "I, think, you, lost, your, senses" added Roman, and then it hits Sissi as she realised that the film was lambasting her, "All, right, Lets, go, to, the, infirmary" said roman as he took Odd away from the hallways and in a cheesy edit the two were outside, Odd and Roman then suddenly had their jaws dropped as the film changed to a low angled slowed down shot, of Sissi walking, before cutting to a high angle shot of Odd and Roman, "It's too late she's found us" said Odd in a fake yell as he and roman backed away, Sissi was starting to lose her temper and patience at her depiction, the worst was yet to come as she spoke "Oh… Rats… I… just… broke… a… nail", the footage had been slowed down and the voice was making everyone in the hall laugh even Delmas was unable to stop chuckling, Sissi looked at Nicholas who said "I didn't know you could be so funny", at this line Sissi had enough and stood up storming off, Odd and Roman started to scream with varying results but then the film stopped.
(=======================================================================)
Sissi had violently and angrily shut off the projector, she felt as if she'd been made a mockery off and was visibly angry, she growled as she stormed off towards Odd,
"Odd you're nothing but… You're nothing but a…" started Sissi but she was too angry to find the words she wanted, but unbeknownst to them the black ooze moved towards Sissi, suddenly she froze up and had a small attack, everyone looked at her in fear and shock, Dallas turned and looked towards Adam and Evelyn who were also shocked by what had happened, Sissi started to speak again but instead she was speaking gibberish and no one could understand her, Sissi moved towards Jeremie as she tried speaking again but one again it was just gibberish "Sissi sweetheart" said Delmas as he placed his hands on her shoulders, she didn't respond, Jim walked over with Kidd, "We'll take care of this Mr Delmas" said Jim as he started to lead Sissi away, "I think you've lost your senses" said Jim as he looked at Sissi, "Come on we'll take care of you" said Kidd, but Delmas stopped them, "All right children I want each of you to quietly go back to your rooms, Jim, Kidd take the kids to their rooms, I'll take Sissi to the infirmary" said Delmas as he took his daughter away, Yumi looked towards Jeremie "XANA?" she asked, Jeremie nodded believing it was another attack.
(=======================================================================)
The warriors had moved back to Jeremie's and Dallas's room, they were ready to fight, Jeremie typed on his computer as he watched the scan, before it failed to locate any activated tower,
"Nope no activated Towers, XANA has nothing to do with it" said Jeremie, this left Dallas confused but the others were relieved, then William entered the room "the nurse said Sissi received an electric charge, she's in shock but there's nothing to worry about" he said as he walked in, "awe poor Sissi, I have to admit her acting was really electrifying" said Odd, causing everyone to look at him with a face of disgust, except Dallas who smacked him around the back of the head, "right false alarm, we can all sleep easy now" said Jeremie, Ulrich stretched his arms and said "best savour it whilst I can, and tomorrow is Sunday and on Sunday", Yumi quickly finished his sentence as she rubbed her belly "We can sleep in" she said, Aelita smiled and as they walked out she said "what do you mean Ulrich" but no one knew what to say to her.
(=======================================================================)
Everyone had fallen asleep, even Jeremie who was usually up all night trying to get some work done, although Dallas couldn't sleep as he laid on his back with his hands behind his head, he was staring at the ceiling confused as to what had happened, suddenly the door opened, Dallas grabbed his crossbow off the floor and was ready to pull the trigger when Sissi walked in and started to look at Jeremie as he slept, Jeremie was still fast asleep, Dallas quickly whistled and Jeremie's eyes opened, he suddenly flinched as Sissi looked down at him,
"Sissi" said Jeremie as she looked down at him, she again attempted to speak but it was once again gibberish, the two watched as Sissi moved towards the desk frantically looking for a piece of paper, Dallas stood up moving slowly towards Sissi grabbing his knife from within his boot, but Jeremie raised his hand to signal for him to stop, Sissi finally found a piece of paper and frantically began to ride down a load of seemingly random letters and numbers, the numbers reached no higher than 26, "Sissi what has gotten into you" asked Jeremie, then suddenly Dallas heard a noise from the hall way and hid his knife, the door suddenly opened to reveal Jim who asked "What's all this racket about" the Jim noticed Sissi as she stood almost delusional by the desk, "Sissi you should be in the infirmary, your fathers gonna have my head again", Said Jim as he grabbed Sissi and moved her from the desk, Dallas quickly focused his eyes and everything turned dark, Jim turned blue, Jeremie went gold and Sissi who was usually red was now gold as well, Dallas unfocused and everything turned back to normal, Jim led Sissi out of the room as Dallas and Jeremie moved towards the desk, "anything" asked Jeremie, Dallas looked towards the door "something aint right, even on a good day she's blue" said Dallas, Jeremie looked at the combination of numbers and letters and began to think.
(=======================================================================)
The next Morning despite having the ability to sleep in due to no school, Ulrich heard his phone ringing bright and early, Ulrich reluctantly reached for his phone, and pulled it under the covers to his ear,
"Jeremie its Sunday" said Ulrich in a grumpy tone, "Okay we're coming" he said as the situation was briefly explained to him, then he threw his pillow at Odd saying "Wake up lazy bones".
(=======================================================================)
The warriors were in two states of mind, they were both interested at what Jeremie had uncovered, and annoyed that this was their Sunday morning,
"A message in code written by Sissi" asked Ulrich, as Jeremie carried on typing, "Uh huh, I ran the super computer all night to translate it" said Jeremie as he carried on with his attempt, "Sissi appeared Gold when I used Eagle Sight, I don't think she's in control" said Dallas as he sat down next to Jeremie with his back next to the terminal, "are you sure" asked Odd, Jeremie then loaded the window with the random sequence, the computer had finished translating the sequence, a voice read out a nearly in coherent sentence, but a few words were understandable, "I want to… make contact… help you" said the computer in a voice that seemed similar to Jeremie but he was struggling to place it, "I want to help you" said Yumi making out what she could, "It has to be a trap by XANA" said Ulrich as he looked at the others, "Most likely" said Odd, but Aelita spoke up "I don't think so, otherwise Sissi would have gone after me, she would have tried to get me out to Lyoko" she said as she gave Jeremie eyes that made him wanna believe her, "She's got a point, if you ask me, someone or something wants to contact us through Sissi, but it's not XANA" said Jeremie as he moved away from the computer, "well who in god's name is it" asked Odd, Jeremie stood up from his chair, "Only one way to find out" said Jeremie, Yumi smiled and said "I'll go and bring her here" Dallas stood up and walked over, "Oh no, in your condition that's a horrible idea, Odd, William you two with me" he said as he moved towards the elevator, "Are you sure" asked William as Odd began to push him forward, "come on scaredy cat" he said as the elevator shut behind them, "I'll take a look at Lyoko, just in case" said Ulrich, he then looked at Yumi "I'll come as well I don't want to be sitting around" she said, Ulrich smiled and nodded "I'll go as well" said Aelita, Jeremie looked concerned as he stepped towards her "With the Scyphozoa and everything it's too risky" said Jeremie, Aelita smiled and flicked her hair "Jeremie you don't need to worry about me" she said with a smile, Yumi and Ulrich looked awkward as they noticed what was happening.
(=======================================================================)
"Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Aelita, Transfer Yumi" said Jeremie as the three stood in their scanners and the doors closed around them, "Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Aelita, Scanner Yumi" said Jeremie as they began to spin and rise "Virtualization" said Jeremie as their blue squared outlines appeared and gained texture before dropping to the ground near their vehicles that also spawned, "great timing, nice work Jeremie" said Ulrich as he stepped towards his bike, "Thank you, okay guys make it fast this is just a reconnaissance mission" replied Jeremie as he pulled up the radar and map, "We know, relax we won't go crazy" said Ulrich as he suddenly gunned the engine and the Over-Bike shot forward with Aelita on the back, Yumi looked at the two, "Be careful Ulrich" said Yumi as she laughed, whilst back at the school, William, Odd and Dallas were about to exit the forest when they noticed Delmas, Jim and Kidd standing as Sissi was loaded into an ambulance, Odd pulled out his phone, "Jeremie, bad news Sissi's being taken to the hospital" he said, Jeremie threw his head back and said "You have to bring her back here", Odd hung up as William stroked his chin "What do we do now", Dallas smiled and said "I think I have a plan".
(=======================================================================)
Jeremie looked at the screen, he hated it being so quiet
"everything okay with you guys" asked Jeremie, Ulrich shook his head, "To tell you the truth, I have no idea" said Ulrich, Yumi flew closer to him and Aelita "Has the super scan picked up an activated tower" she asked, Jeremie quickly launched the program again but there was nothing "no still nothing why" he asked, Aelita was surprised "hang on I'll send you a visual" said Aelita, a window opened on the screen showing Aelita's point of view, a tower was insight but unlike every tower the aura was white, "What the fuck is this white tower supposed to mean" asked a shocked Jeremie, "I was about to ask you the same thing" responded Jeremie as he pulled up and stopped, Yumi slowed down and followed suit, "Do you think this tower has something to do with Sissi, or the being that's trying to contact us" asked Yumi, Jeremie was shocked at what he was looking at, "I… I don't know" he said in response, "Come on I'd like to see this close up" said Aelita, Ulrich nodded and he shot forward again, Yumi followed after them, but then Jeremie started to get a fix on the radar, "Shit" he said as he leant forward, "Guys behind you" he added, the three looked back to see two mega tanks moving in their direction, the two monsters were moving at an incredible speed, one that the warriors had never witnessed, Ulrich quickly floored the acceleration on the Over-Bike, "Faster" said Aelita as the Tanks caught up and were right behind the warriors, Ulrich looked at the engine as it was at top speed "I've got it floored" he said as began to panic, Yumi moved in to try and move Aelita, but the Over-Wing didn't have enough speed to keep up, Aelita looked around and then noticed a small turn, "Turn to the left" she said, Ulrich looked at where she was pointing, "There's not enough ground for use to slow down" responded Ulrich, Aelita quickly focused and began to sing, more land began to form, the Over-Bike and its passengers got nearer and using the small lead they had Ulrich slammed on the breaks and quickly turned gunning the engine to shoot forward, the side was scraped by the Mega Tank but they managed to avoid it, Yumi flew to give any help, but the Tanks carried on almost as if they couldn't see Ulrich and Aelita, "Are you okay" asked Yumi, but Ulrich as more focused on the monsters, "Great going you guys, but it's weird the monsters didn't follow you, something's not right" said Jeremie, suddenly the tanks stopped in front of the white tower and opened fire on it shooting their devastating blasts towards it, the tower shook upon impact, "Jeremie, it wasn't us they were after" said Aelita as it became clear to the three, "they're trying to destroy the white tower" added Ulrich, Yumi was confused "But why would they do that" she asked, Jeremie thought for a second "Dallas did throw the monsters into array when he returned, best hold them off until we know" replied Jeremie, Ulrich nodded as he looked at the girls, "Feel like a little game of bowling" he said, Yumi rolled her eyes as Aelita asked "a what", Yumi smiled and replied "Don't worry terrible joke", Ulrich quickly turned and the two vehicles moved towards the tower, Ulrich pulled up as he drew his Katanna, the two tanks were firing at the tower as rapidly as they could, Cracks would form in the tower before sealing up again, Yumi pulled up and drew her fans.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas, Odd and William walked into the hospital and looked around; the staff didn't pay them any attention due to it being visiting hours,
"okay, we need the room manifest" said Odd as he looked around the different wings, "Why not charm the receptionist with your good looks" said William with a chuckle, Dallas rolled his eyes "I've got a better idea" he said as he focused his eyes and noticed a gold trail on the ground, "this way" he added, they walked down the corridor as Dallas followed the trail before he signalled for them to stop "What is it" asked Odd as he, William and Dallas poked their heads around the corner, "what the hell, Security?" asked William, the three moved their heads back around, Dallas noticed a spare trolley, "Odd get on" he said, Odd looked at him before he laid down, Dallas placed the blanket over him, "wait here" said Dallas as he moved towards one of the supply closets, inside the hospital room, Delmas sat next to Sissi who had been hooked up to a heart rate monitor, a doctor was watching the screen, the Doctor was a young Japanese woman who was starting out in her medical career, "Well what's wrong with her" asked a concerned Delmas, the Doctor turned back to face him, "I haven't the slightest Idea, I'll keep her under observation for a couple of hours then we'll see" said the Doctor, Delmas sighed and looked down, "Well okay, let me know at the first sign of a change in her condition" said Delmas as he stood up and walked out, "okay" responded the Doctor, Delmas walked out of the room past the security, Dallas looked around the corner before he and William came around pushing Odd on the trolley, they were wearing face masks and white hospital coats, "We need to…" started Dallas trying to do a French accent but it was falling flat, "I'm sorry we have orders…" started one of the security guards "Listen this young boy is horribly sick and we need to get him hooked up immediately and this is the only available room" said Dallas, the guard rolled his eyes and opened the door sternly saying "make it quick", Dallas and William rolled the trolley in, "that worked" whispered William, whilst in the factory Jeremie suddenly heard the scan go off, "Huh" he said as it located an activated tower, he quickly called William, "Yeah" said William as he made it look like it was a natural call, "XANA has activated a tower, he's on the offensive" said Jeremie, William looked at Dallas suddenly the Doctor moved towards Sissi and began to smoother her, "Shit" said Dallas as he moved from the Trolley and grabbed the doctor trying to pull her away, Odd moved from underneath and as Dallas tried to Pull the nurse off, Odd pulled Sissi free, William helped Dallas with the nurse but she turned and knocked both to the ground and was ready to attack William but before she could stomp on his head, Odd held the defibrillator paddles to her back and shocked her, the nurses stomach section where she'd been shocked destabilized and she collapsed to the ground.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas kicked the doctor away pulling her coat off her, he tossed it to Odd, as he helped William up,
"are you okay" asked Odd, William go on his feet and breathed "Yeah I'll be good" he replied as he gave the thumbs up, "come on lets go" said Odd as he moved towards the window, but Dallas stopped him, "We can't with a XANA attack that way is off the cards" he said as he pointed at the coat, "You're not serious are you" asked Odd, outside the two security guards stood there doing their job, when the door opened, William walked out first looking nervous as the Guards paid some attention to him, Odd followed next to the trolley blocking their view of Sissi followed by Dallas, as they tried to remain calm, "How's the patient doc" asked one of the guards, "She's doing just fine" Said Dallas, the guard was puzzled "I thought it was a he?" he asked, Dallas's eyes shot open as he said "One little thing" the guards looked into the room, Dallas quickly pulled pushed Odd onto the trolley and then pushed and forced William onto it as he pushed, the guards yelled and started to chase as Dallas pushed the three away "STOP HIM" shouted one of the guards as he raised his gun but luckily for the three warriors it was visiting hour, Dallas turned a corner and rushed towards the elevator quickly squeezing in and pressing the bottom floor button, "What're you doing" asked William as he stood up, "Teleport us to the ground floor" said Dallas, William took a breath and looked at him, "I can't move more than two people at once" he said, Odd began to panic and extended his blade, Dallas looked up, "take Odd and Sissi" he said as he stood on the Trolley, "What're you…" started Odd, Dallas looked down and said "Just do it", the two security guards had rushed down and hit the button raising their hand guns towards the door, they opened "FREEZE" shouted the guard but the elevator was empty, the first guard slowly walked forward in confusion, whilst on the ground floor, William and Odd moved Sissi out the front in a wheel chair, Dallas had quickly moved up into the elevator shaft and listened for the guards to speak, "No sign of them put the building on lockdown or Winter will be pissed" said one of the guards, Dallas was confused and muttered "Winter" to himself then he watched as the opposite elevator began to descend, he quickly jumped and grabbed the cables cutting up his hands as he slid down to the crate before dropping onto the roof, it stopped and Dallas opened the roof and hopped inside "sorry to drop in, medical emergency" said Dallas as he walked out leaving two nurses stunned, he quickly began flicking his sore hands as they healed up.
(=======================================================================)
Jeremie was typing as quick as he could to try and locate the tower, then the phone window opened and he answered it
"Jeremie we've got Sissi" said William as he and Odd wheel chaired her down the street, they'd managed to slip out during the lockdown "great bring her here" replied Jeremie, but they looked back making sure they couldn't see the doctor, "It won't be that easy, there's a doctor possessed by XANA who doesn't like that idea, and a couple of security guards who are none too happy by Dallas's actions" said William, Jeremie rolled his eyes and replied "ouch" before he returned his attention to the screen, "Ulrich, Yumi, I've got some bad news" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko Aelita had taken over the driving of the Over-Bike, Ulrich was now sitting on the back with his Katanna in hand, Yumi was flying behind them, with one of her fans in hand, "Hang on Jeremie" she replied, Aelita slowly turned towards the two tanks and then moved between them as Ulrich began to lean towards the side, the two tanks turned and fired towards Ulrich and Aelita, Yumi pulled up as the two tank blasts crossed and carried on missing the tower, Aelita quickly pulled up letting Ulrich jump off before he quickly ran up the tower, one of the tanks turned to fire at him, But Yumi threw her fan to distract it, the tank fired at the fan just missing it but this sealed the creatures fate as Ulrich jumped off the tower and flipped onto the tank and stabbed down to stab down into the creature, Ulrich jumped off as Yumi flew in low allowing him to jump onto the Over-Wing, the tank exploded before disappearing entirely, "What were you saying Jeremie" asked Ulrich as he looked at the other tank, "There's an activated tower in the ice sector" replied Jeremie, Ulrich and Yumi watched as Aelita drove out of view, "What do we do, protect this tower or deactivate the other one" asked Yumi, the remaining tank turned and fired towards the Over-Wing, they quickly dodged as Aelita moved with the Over-Bike towards them, "Jeremie what do we do" asked Ulrich as he was getting anxious, "Uh protect the white tower" said Jeremie making a judgement call, Yumi moved towards the ground and Ulrich dismounted, "You know I could go deactivate the tower with Yumi" said Aelita, Jeremie was shocked, "no way, it's too dangerous wait for backup" replied Jeremie, the Tank fired again and forced Yumi to jump from the Over-Wing as it was destroyed, "I'll take care of this one, you two go to the tower" said Ulrich as he stood with his Katanna in both hands, Aelita smiled as Yumi moved into the driver seat of the Over-Bike "Look" said Aelita as she suddenly noticed another two Mega Tanks and Evelyn appear, "This should have been taken care of" said Evelyn angrily as she looked at the tower, "Aelita, Yumi go" said Ulrich, Yumi looked worried but didn't give the monsters a chance to strike as she drove off towards the way tower.
(=======================================================================)
Outside the factory, Odd, William and Dallas were wheeling Sissi as fast as they could, then suddenly they heard ambulance sirens and they turned onto the bridge,
"shit, Odd hurry" said William as they managed to get into the factory, the ambulance sped up with the doctor furious as she sat behind the wheel, "ODD" shouted Dallas, Odd quickly grabbed Sissi from the wheelchair and dived the two out of the way, the ambulance sped forward and just missed the two, the doctor turned the wheel to try and stop but due to the speed the ambulance flipped before barrel rolling and smashing onto the factory floor, throwing the wheels and a door , the three warriors looked down at the crashed vehicle, "I hope she was wearing a seat belt" said Odd as he started to lead Sissi towards the ramp, Dallas drew his Glock and pulled back the chamber, "Just in case" said Dallas as he grabbed the rope and slowly went down towards the ambulance as William followed him, "She dead" asked William, Dallas knelt down and looked inside, the doctor wasn't moving, Dallas took note of a strange tattoo on her arm, "I doubt it, XANA doesn't let these injury's kill the person" he responded as he moved towards the elevator, "best not wait around" said William as he pressed the button.
(=======================================================================)
On Lyoko, Ulrich was running using super sprint to make sure the Mega tanks couldn't easily target him, Evelyn moved towards the tower and drew her Rapier ready to stab the tower and begin some damage, Ulrich quickly stopped in front of one of the Tanks, it fired at him, but Ulrich stepped aside and the beam carried on towards another Tank, it quickly closed to stop itself being destroyed but the power of its counterparts beam carried on and it was pushed off the edge of the Plato before it plummeted into the digital sea,
"Cool" said Ulrich, Evelyn turned and looked as he started running again, "Useless pieces of shit" she said as she carried on swiping into the tower, on the factory floor the warriors quickly scrambled into the elevator as the door began to close, suddenly the doctors arm smashed through the door, "Shit" said William, Dallas almost as if by impulse grabbed her arm and turned before pulling her arm down as hard as he could smashing her elbow and cracking the bone as she withdrew it letting out a digitised yell of pain, "was that necessary" asked William looking almost disgusted, Dallas took a deep breath and didn't answer, whilst back on Lyoko, Ulrich was running towards another tank, it fired at him with the beam striking and seemingly devirtulizing him, but instead he'd triplicated and now he and a double were running up some adjacent trees, "Ulrich" asked Jeremie as he saw the clones life sign disappear, "relax Jeremie I'm on it" responded Ulrich as he did his best not to break his concentration, the tank turned and fired at him destroying the last clone whilst the real Ulrich managed to stab his blade into the creatures interior, but it closed and trapped his blade, "that has gotta hurt" said Ulrich as he tried desperately to remove his Katanna, but finding it unwilling to budge he jumped up and moved as the creature exploded, "Damn it" he said as he realised that his Katanna was destroyed.

Back in the factory, Odd was tending to Sissi but as the door opened the four felt a sudden crash as the doctor jumped down onto the crate,
"Go" said Dallas as Odd and Sissi moved out, "I'm staying" said William as he slammed the button causing the door to shut, "ah finally" said Jeremie as he saw Sissi and Odd, he stood up out of his chair, Sissi walked towards the chair almost in a trance like state, "Sissi, I…" started Jeremie but he was caught off guard as Sissi sat down and began typing, "Sissi now what's the matter" asked Odd, he was about to stop her but Jeremie raised his arm and said "No wait", Sissi loaded a window and began to type at a rate that managed to put Jeremie to shame, Whilst On Lyoko Yumi and Aelita were getting close towards the activated tower, suddenly the map and radar opened and Jeremie said "Aelita, Yumi lookout" whilst on Lyoko Adam fired his musket and hit Yumi, she tilted at the hit and the Over-Bike collapsed as they skidded on the ground "Almost too easy" he said as he limped slightly towards the two, "Odd quick head to the scanner" said Jeremie, Odd quickly moved towards the Hatch.

The Doctor opened the elevator roof hatch, ready to attack Dallas and William but she found it empty, suddenly in a flash of smoke Dallas and William dropped down with a yell, the doctor turned and punched Dallas knocking him backwards but William got the drop on her and grabbed her around the waist and threw her aside before raising his arms and punching her in a boxer stance, the elevator reached the top of the shaft,
"Come on" said Dallas as William jumped down onto the factory floor, the Doctor turned back and faced Dallas before charging him and pushing him onto the floor, but Dallas raised his arms to block any face blows, suddenly she reached and grabbed Dallas's knife and stabbed through his arm, the blade punctured through and scratched his face, Dallas grunted in pain as he grabbed the doctor and pushed her down onto the ground before jumping up and looking at his arm, the doctor turned but William kicked her away "go I'll take care of her" said William as he retook his stance "I'm good" said Dallas as he removed the knife and putting it back in his boot, he grinned through his pain as his face wound sealed itself leaving only a trickle of blood as its only remnant "what the fuck" asked William, Dallas looked at him then remembered that William had not seen his healing, "Oh yeah about that…" started Dallas but the Nurse rugby tackled him off the ground and smashed him into a girder, William looked as Dallas flopped to the ground dead from the massive impact, "DALLAS" shouted William, the doctor turned back and growled at him.

On Lyoko Adam had Yumi pinned down as he fired his musket at her whilst laughing,
"This is almost too easy" said Adam as he reloaded his musket, Yumi suddenly jumped up and threw her fans but he drew his sword to deflect the fan, three Krabs had moved to intercept Aelita and were now boxing her in, back in the forest sector the last remaining tank fired at the tower as Evelyn and Ulrich were now in a scuffle, Evelyn was taking a defensive stance as she used quick and precise blocks with her rapier, Ulrich however was reduced to using his wrist blade a weapon he had very little training with and was swinging more brutally to try and strike her, Ulrich noticed the blast from the tank and knocking Evelyn back he jumped and used his wrist blade and blocked the beam, but he was running low on energy, and the blade wasn't enough to stop the blast to any extent, and as such he was getting slowly pushed back by the laser, "Jeremie I can't hold out much longer" said Ulrich as he struggled to push forward, suddenly with a single gunshot Evelyn had struck him down, Ulrich devirtulized as the blast carried forward and struck into the tower, Evelyn smiled and said "Its over Hopper", suddenly the aura of the tower faded and returned to blue, in the computer room Sissi suddenly froze up and collapsed forward, "Sissi" said Jeremie as he grabbed her and gently on the floor, back on the factory floor, the doctor jumped at William pinning him down, she screamed in his face as she held him down, "Virtualisation" said Jeremie as in the ice sector Odd appeared and dropped to the ground landing on the Over-Board, "Help Aelita" said Jeremie, Odd smiled as he shot off towards the others, The Krabs forced Aelita backwards, as the Scyphozoa began to worm its way forward towards her, Aelita began to back away but the Krab behind her fired at her feet to disincentive her running away, but before the creature could wrap its tendrils around her it was suddenly struck on upon by a rapid fire, Aelita looked up to see Odd firing at the squid, "Odd" said Yumi as she watched Odd fired numerous arrows into one of the Krabs, Yumi turned and quickly used her fans and swung at Adam's sword but he blocked and knocked her arms up, before he punched Yumi in the stomach as he muttered "Getting an early blow in" but before Yumi could attack again he stabbed down and devirtulized her.

Aelita had seized the opportunity and was running away from the Krabs, the creatures were firing at Odd and were managing to strike him
"Odd careful, you've lost 80 life points, one more hit and you're finished" said Jeremie, Odd nodded as he diverted and moved to stop Adam from attack Aelita, The remaining Krabs however were not going to let their prey escape, as Adam drew his sword to strike and knock down Aelita he was suddenly knocked over himself as Odd smacked into him with the Over-Board, "Get on" said Odd as he helped Aelita onto the vehicle, on the factory floor William managed to kick the doctor off of him and he got up and began to run away, but the doctor ran after him as fast as she could, which thanks to XANA's enhancements she out ran him, but before she could do any damage, Dallas suddenly jumped towards her with eagle sense flaring from his body, she turned as he landed on the ground and as she turned to attack Dallas he extended his blades and using the hook on his right arm he clipped the inside of her left leg and pulled her outwards, the doctor flipped out and crashed onto the floor, Dallas quickly kneelt down and restrained her arms, "look like you've seen a ghost" said Dallas as he looked up at William, then he looked at the Tattoo again, "what's wrong" asked William, whilst back on Lyoko Odd dropped Aelita off in front of tower before he shot off to stop the advancing monsters, but before he could attack he himself was devirtulized and was flung from the Over-Board which carried on and crashed into Adam and he met the same fate, Aelita passed into the tower and ascended towards the top of the tower, as she landed and the platform lit up she placed her hand on the screen the words Code Lyoko typed out and the screens descended into the black void, "Tower deactivated" said Aelita, on the factory floor, the possession of the Doctor ended and she initially fell limp before she looked up again, Dallas stood up getting off of her, the doctor looked up at Dallas and she seemed to get angry "You… I've…" she started but Dallas kicked the doctor in the head, "Was that necessary" asked William, Dallas rolled his eyes and said "she seemed pissed".

Jeremie had activated the return to the past and time had to go back a little further than a day so Sissi was never controlled by the mysterious presence, but sadly for her, she still had to endure the humiliation of Odd's short film, the warriors found it more funny on the second viewing, Jeremie had spent all night in the factory with the information he'd managed to acquire from Sissi, he ran up to his room and as he opened the door, Sissi was storming out
"Huh, everything okay Sissi" asked a confused Jeremie, but Sissi remained silent as she stormed off, "Did I miss something" asked Jeremie, but the others just broke up in laughter, "come on tell me" asked Jeremie, Ulrich stopped laughing as he said "Odd just offered Sissi the lead role in his next film", then Jeremie joined in with the laughter as he moved towards the computer, "what about you Jeremie how's it going" asked Yumi, Jeremie smiled as he said "I'm doing great, the computer deciphered all of the code she wrote whilst spell bound" as he held up the CD, he sat down and put the disk into the drive, "Do you think this'll help in anyway" asked Aelita, Odd shook his head "Why couldn't the being just give us the antivirus" he said dismally, "its got tones of interesting stuff" said Jeremie as he opened the program, William folded his arms "do we know who this entity is" he asked, Jeremie smiled and hit play, Dallas leant forward over Jeremie, then the group got a shock as they heard "My name is… Franz Hopper… I'm trying to… contact you… I would like to… help you".

Authors note:
Okay so this one took a while, this one encountered issues from the word go, and I mean from the word go, everything over the prior 76 chapters made most of this chapter unusable in its original state, there was so much I had to change, because I had to factor in Yumi being 8 and half months pregnant, William is a warrior, and the newer characters, that and for the life of me I have no idea what Chardin was saying half the time during the original episode, but thanks for reading guys, next chapter is another original gotta fill this season up, and boy oh fucking boy am I happy, it can be looked at as filler but damn am I gonna enjoy it, also I'm gonna have to take my time with this one so it won't be up for a while, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
