Author's Note: All right then. Tie for a few answers to your questions/reviews.

The 'little surprise' Xana refers to will be revealed soon. If you haven't already noted, every TV in the world shows the teams progress and that means, yep, you guessed it, everyone is watching their fate live. As far a Jeremy's appearance in Lyoko, he is the only one who looks the same. The only difference, he has a utility belt with about 20 daggers that regenerate after awhile.

With that said, on with the show!

2:30 PM Control Room

"...Should we give in to his demands? It appears that 98% say no, and 2% say yes..."

Click

"...85% no, 15% yes..."

Click

"Hmmp. All are stubborn! The just will not give. Time to teach them a lesson!"

Xana was indeed pissed, and now the team was going to pay the price for the worlds stubbornness.

"Attention world. No. You say no. You DO remember that the five trapped in MY world are the only one who can kill me, right? Now you have PISSED ME OFF! AS A RESULT OF YOU INCOMPETENCE THEY DIE NOW!!!!!!

"I hope you can live with the fact that you helped assist me in their deaths. Good day."

As he began to type on the control computer, he wondered if he would really do this. Well, that was stupid. Time to send the polar region to hell.

2:30 PM Lyoko Polar Region

Behind their hills, the team was curious, why hadn't the swarm that chased them attacked yet? Odd spoke first:

"Uh, well, where'd they go?"

"I have no idea, Odd."

It was true. The enemies had disappeared. But all was not for Jeremy collapsed in what seemed like a seizure.

"JEREMY!"

"...rrgh... Alieta... g-get away!... Xana..."

Then he fainted.

"JEREMY!! Oh man! Alieta, Odd, Yumi, we have got to get him to a tower immediately!"

"Yeah!"

"Good idea."

"Okay, but what did he mean by Xana?"

Alieta's question was soon answered. For at that moment, Jeremy regained consciousness. Then, in one swift motion, he jumped up, pulled out a dagger and stabbed Alieta in the shoulder. Before the team could comprehend what just happened, he ran off toward a tower.

"AAGH!"

"Alieta! Odd, Ulreck! Go after him! But don't harm him!"

As soon as the command was issued, the rest of the world looked in awe and horror. Did they see right? The little green arrow marked 'Jeremy' turned red and said 'Enemy' right beneath it. But why...?

"Alieta, are you alright?"

"Yeah, but why did Jeremy attack me?"

"I think I know. Xana is controlling him."

"That is not good! Let go get him!"

As they ran toward Jeremy, Odd, and Ulreck, Odd and Ulreck stopped. Jeremy was standing in front of a tower and seemed to be waiting for them.

"Ulreck, his face... look..."

"I know, I know, I'm seeing it, but I don't believe it!"

It seemed Jeremy WASN"T Jeremy at all. His eyes were now blood red and the mark of Xana was on his forehead.

"HA, HA, HA! Like my new puppet?"

"Xana! What did you do to Jeremy??"

"Oh, just a little program I made in my spare time... I would've used it sooner but stuff came up. Like it, Jeremy has seen the light, haven't you Jeremy?"

"Yes master. I have."

"You fiend! Release him!"

"No. No. And now it is time to get rid of you once and for all. In fact, Jeremy, care to do the honors?"

"Yes master. I would love to. This will be fun."

"Very good Jeremy! By the by, did I mention this conversation was broadcast to the entire world? You see, everyone everywhere is watching you struggle. Care to say bye to the world? It's your only chance! Bye now!"

"Oh man! Alieta! What can Xana do in that tower?"

"Um, anything. So Xana is controlling Jeremy?"

"Yeah, and now Jeremy is in the tower."

Indeed he was. Because at that moment, the tower turned red, then began to turn black.

"I take it that is not good."

"Huh, that's odd..."

"No, I'm odd."

"Shut up, Odd and look down."

"Sure Yumi... Whoa."

On the ground beneath them, little pieces of ice were moving toward the now black tower.

"Xana, you didn't! Guys, we have to go NOW! Xana has created a black hole!"
