After the transformer explosion, we find Jeremy on his computer in the dorms talking to Aelita and trying to localize the activated tower. Ulrich ran into Yumi on the grounds but they couldn't find Odd anywhere.

'Do you think Odd went back to the dorms? I'm sure thats where Jeremy went' Yumi asked Ulrich as they made their way back to the dorms.

'Probably, he doesn't seem to be answering his phone, doesn't he know that there was most likely a XANA attack?' said Ulrich.

'He should, I wonder whats wrong with him.' Yumi said.

At that moment, Ulrich's phone rang.

'Hello' He said.

'Who is it?' asked Yumi out of curiosity

'It's Jeremy, he says that there was a XANA attack and that he cant get ahold of Odd.' Said a worried Ulrich.

'Hmm, maybe Odd already went to the factory.' Yumi suggested.

'I hope so.' Ulrich stated gloomily.

With that, they both took off toward the factory. Ulrich tried to reach Odd several times on the way with no success. Once at the factory, Ulrich and Yumi searched for Odd in the main computer room and the scanner room with no luck.

'He must be at the dorms, doesn't he know that there was a XANA attack? what is wrong with him?.' said a panicking, worried Yumi.

'Calm down, I'm sure he'll be fine, Odd gets himself into things like this very often.' A calm, and controlled Ulrich said.

'Okay guys, ready?' Asked an out of breath Jeremy over the loud speaker.

'Yeah, we are, hit it Jeremy.' They both said.

'Okay then, into the scanners you go.' Jeremy said and Ulrich and Yumi stepped in. 'Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Yumi. Virtualization!'

'Okay, we're here. You see any monsters?' Yumi asked.

'Nope, none yet. It's strange, XANA usually has the welcoming commitee right there waiting.' Jeremy answered.

'Maybe luck is on our side today, that is, if you dont count the exploding transformer and losing Odd.' Ulrich said with a smirk.

'Okay, we have Aelita, have you localized the tower?' Yumi said.

'Yes, I have. It's 60 degrees Northwest of you.' Jeremy answered and the trio took off in that direction. At once, the tower was in sight, but still no monsters, which was starting to worry them because that was never a good sign. Despite this, they continued to follow through as usual. Within a few moments, the super computer indicated that there was a call and it was from Odd, and Jeremy took the call.

'Hello.' said a slightly annoyed Jeremy because of Odd's lateness. 'So, when were you planning to get in contact with us?'

'Sorry einstein, there was a little incident, I...I got lost.' Odd stated, obviously lying.

'Lost? on the school grounds, is that even pos...listen, there was a XANA attack, get to the factory now, and when the tower is deactivated, you can tell us what happened to you.'

'Alright then, fine. I'm on my way.' said Odd, thereby ending the conversation.

Odd ran into the forest outside of the grounds that always led the gang to the sewers He grapped his skateboard and threw it on the ground to get it rolling. As he went to jump on it, he overjumped and landed face first on the ground.

'My mind is too unfocused to even jump on my skateboard, what's wrong with me?' He asked himself quietly as he successfully landed on his skateboard. The only sound that could be heard in the sewers was Odd's skateboard rolling comfortably among the ground as he thought frantically to himself. At last, he arrived at his destination and he scurried up the ladder and ran into the factory as fast as he could. As he waited for the elevator, he called Jeremy.

'Hello, Jeremy, I'm here, I'm gonna head to the scanner room.' Odd stated sullenly.

'Alright Odd, hurry up, I'll have everything ready for you when you get there.' Jeremy said. At that moment, the elevator arrived and Odd stepped on and proceeded to press the button to take him to the scanner room.

'Okay, Jeremy, I'm here, Bye.' Odd said, hanging up the phone and stepping into the scanner.

'Okay then, ready?' Jeremy asked. 'Scanner, Odd, Virtualization!'

Instantly, Odd was transported to the virtual world that was Lyoko. He fell on the ground, stood up and brushed himself off at which point he continued to be enveloped in thought. It was the shot in the arm from the hornet that awoke him from his trance.

'Laser arrow!' Odd said, clearly annoyed at the hornet that awoke him from his trance. The arrow hit the hornet clearly in it's 'XANA eye' soft spot, thereby destroying it instantaneously.

'So, XANA finally sent monsters.' Yumi said, sending her fans in the direction of the 3 remaining hornets, hitting 2 successfully.

'Yumi, you and Ulrich can take Aelita to the tower, I can handle the last hornet.' stated a somewhat dazed Odd.

'Right.' Yumi and Ulrich said, and they took off toward the factory in tow of Aelita.

'Laser arrow!' said Odd, the arrow nearly missing the hornet. The hornet shot at Odd, hitting him square in the torso and knocking him back.

'Odd, be careful, 20 lifepoints left.' Jeremy said.

Meanwhile, Ulrich, Aelita, and Yumi had succesfully made it to the tower.

'You have it from here Aelita?' Ulrich asked.

'Yep, see you guys later' Aelita said happily. In the tower, she floated to the second level, and proceeded to enter Lyoko into the digiscreen instantly deactivating the tower.

'Alright, return to the past NOW!' Jeremy yelled.
