I hope you enjoy!
(Yumi and Hikori were walking home from the school due to the shutdown.)
Hikori: "So, how's it going with your boyfriend?"
Yumi: "Hikori."
Hikori: "Fine, forget I asked."
(As they continued home, a police car zoomed by, blaring their sirens.)
Hikori: "Huh. I wonder what's going on."
Yumi: "They're heading towards the school."
Hikori: "What?"
(Yumi tries to call Jeremy on her cell phone but can't get a signal.)
Yumi: "Strange, there's no signal."
Hikori: "Really?"
Yumi: "Yeah. First the shutdown, now this."
Hikori: "Wow, this is turning into a weird day."
(Yumi quickly ran towards the factory.)
Hikori: "Hey! Where are you going?"
Yumi: "Just go home. I just need to get something I left behind at school."
(Aelita and Odd emerged from the sewer entrance onto the factory bridge with Yumi arriving shortly after.)
Yumi: "What's James up to now?"
Aelita: "Heeeeee revived X.A.N.A."
Yumi: "What!"
Odd: "We need to hurry before he kills anyone."
Yumi: "Right, I saw police cars heading toward the school."
Odd: "Then things are starting to get out of control. Well then, we better hurry."
(Back at Kadic, the replicated William was trying to hit Urma with his Zwihandler. Ulrich was about to kick him in the head but X.A.N.A. mimicked the super-smoke by turning back into a smaller version of his original form with the mask still the same size, and speeded away to gain distance between the two warriors and reformed back into the possessed Lyoko William.)
Urma: "Man, is he tough."
Jeremy: "It seems that the mask is the only thing that keeps him alive."
Ulrich: "So we need to get him to his real form and destroy the mask."
Jeremy: "Exactly."
(Just then, a police car came rolling into the courtyard and two cops came out.)
Officer #1: "Sir, I demand that you drop the sword and put your hands in the air!"
(X.A.N.A. turned and mimicked a vertical energy swing with his Zwihandeler by created more of the mixture and lunched it from his blade in the shape of the energy swing. As the officers jumped out of the way, the attack sliced the car in half. They tried to call for back-up but received no response because their signals were jammed. Urma used this distraction to kick X.A.N.A. in the neck, causing that body part to stretch and soon snap off. The head reformed into a blob with the mask and the remainder reformed into its original form and began to disintegrate. X.A.N.A. multiplied his blob's size for a bigger body.)
Ulrich: "This is going to be a long day."
(Back at the factory, Odd, Aelita, and Yumi have spawned in the ice sector of Lyoko.)
Aelita: "If I read the coordinates right, the tower should be in that cave along with the Schiphizoa."
Yumi: "Can we beat it?"
Odd: "We're both long-ranged and Urma says that it only has two tentacles to block; so if we all attack it at once, it won't be able to keep up."
Yumi: "That's… pretty smart."
Aelita: "Well there's no time to waste. Let's move."
(The three entered into the ice cavern to meet the Schiphizoa floating patiently in front of the tower. The flying squid tore a stalactite with one of its tentacles and threw it like a spear at the warriors, causing them to take cover as the stalactite shattered. The terrain tried to rejuvenate itself but the static electricity, produced by the destruction, prevented the action.)
Yumi: "This is going to a pain."
(The squid placed its large tentacles on the ice and shattered the floor into drifting glaciers.)
Aelita: "We need to split up and charge. Yumi, take the left, Odd, the middle, and I'll take the right."
Odd: "Alright."
(The trio charged at the enemy, leaping from glacier to glacier, as the Schiphizoa lifted two chunks of ice and threw them at Odd. Yumi threw her two fans at the squid and Aelita took out her wings. The fans were blocked and bounced back; leaving an opening for Aelita to fire an energy field which was also blocked. By then Odd uses his agility to jump across the flying projectiles and countered with several laser arrows. The attack was blocked and countered a smash onto the water, creating a wave the made Odd fall into the nonlethal waters below. Just as the fans returned to Yumi, the squid grabbed the glacier she landed on and crushed her onto a wall devirtualizing Yumi. Aelita then flew directly at the Schiphizoa and dive kicked it in the eye, knocking it back. Odd emerged from the water onto a glacier.)
Aelita: "Odd, finish it."
(Odd fired a laser arrow onto its eye, devirtualizing the monster. Aelita quickly entered the tower and deactivated it.) (Back at Kadic, X.A.N.A.'s body began bending and morphing uncontrollably.)
Urma: "The tower has been deactivated. Now we just wait for a return to the past."
(X.A.N.A.'s body continued to bend for a while until it stopped and the body was at normal conditions.)
Jeremy: "Did it just … restabilized?"
(X.A.N.A. then received a call.)
James: "Congratulations, X.A.N.A. you barely passed. Now when the Lyoko warriors return to the past, I'll recreate your body again in a more stable form and we can give you some assignments."
(X.A.N.A. began to make a fist only to have it solidify and crumble.)
James: "Now, now let's not get irrational. You'll have your revenge someday, but that is not today."
(A white beam engulfed the planet as the warriors find them at breakfast with William just joining them.)
William: "So… did we win?"
(The others all lowered their heads and William understood.)
Yumi: "Look, we tried and it wasn't enough."
William: "Yeah… I know."
Jeremy: "Your both wrong. We never stood a chance to begin with."
Aelita: "Jeremy,-"
Jeremy: "James never meant for us to pass his 'test'. He just was playing with of heads to see how we would react and… just… scramble our morale. This is all one big mind game that he's playing and we are just in his palm right now. We have no edge, no way of actually getting rid of him. And because of that… he brought back an old foe as another pawn of his to use… to mess with our heads."
(Aelita placed her hand on Jeremy's shoulder.)
Aelita: "But you completed the Skid, right?"
Jeremy: "Yeah. So what?"
Aelita: "Then we can all fight back together. This isn't over."
(Meanwhile, at James' lair, X.A.N.A.'s body has been reformed with a new capsule protecting the mother cell while leaving an opening to release more of itself without letting anything come in.)
James: "Now I know you still have that bloodlust for the warriors, but I need you to follow my orders if we want any success from our tasks. If you do not then well… we have a problem. And that is something we don't want. I that clear?"
X.A.N.A.: "…Affirmative."
James: "Splendid! Kat will give you your first assignment if that's all right with you."
Kat: "Affirmative. Follow me."
(X.A.N.A. tails behind Kat as they leave the room.)
James: "All according to plan."
Finally, I hope you all have a great Fourth of July for all the Americans. As for all the other countries, have a great day!
