Chapter 7-Here we go again
Flashback-
XANA made a new monster, and he took Jim over. Jim shocked the gang and took Laura to the factory. With XANA's help (again), Jim transported Laura to sector five. Laura woke up to see she was surrounded by creepers. She shot on its head. She ran to the next room. Meanwhile, Yumi, Odd, and Aelita were being transported to Lyoko. Jeremy typed the code in for the transporter to take them to sector. Laura saw her nightmare come true. It looked like a human with no face, and it had whips for arms. Jeremy told Laura to hit the key on the wall to stop the timer. Laura climbed and hit it with only one second to spare. Odd, Yumi, and Aelita showed up. Odd gave Laura a hug when he got to her. The monster started to attack them. Yumi pushed Aelita out of the way. Odd grabbed Laura and climbed higher. Odd putted Laura on the ground. Laura got her bow and arrow ready. She shot at the monster, and she hit it one arm off. She noticed that it was going to hit Odd. She ran and pushes out of the way. She was on the floor holding her side. She was in pain.
"No. LAURA!" Jeremy yelled. The gang ran up to her. Odd grabbed her, and they left to the transporter. Jeremy typed the code in, and the gang was transported to the forest sector. Jeremy had the overwing and the overboard ready. Yumi and Aelita jumped on the overwing.
"Jeremy, can you bring Laura back?" Asked Odd.
"Here I go." Jeremy said as he typed on the keys. He ran down to the scanners. He saw Laura lying on the floor. He grabbed Laura, and he putted her on his back. He ran up to the computer.
"Did it work?"
"Yes Odd. She is with me now. She is out cold, but she is here."
"Good. I will go help Yumi and Aelita." Odd said as he jumped on the overboard. He got there just when Aelita went in to the tower. Aelita typed the code in.
"Aelita."
"Code"
"Lyoko"
"Tower deactivated Jeremy." She said.
"Ok, I am bring you back now." Jeremy replied. In no time, Odd, Yumi, and Aelita were running up to the computer room. They saw Laura lying against the wall. Odd walked up to Laura. He saw she was sweaty. He felt her forehead.
"Jeremy, Laura is burning up." Odd said. Jeremy ran up to Odd and Laura. He felt Laura's forehead, and she was running a fever.
"Let's get her back to school." Jeremy said as he helped Odd putted Laura on Odd's back. Yumi's cell went off. It was Ulrich.
"Hi Ulrich. Where are you?" She asked.
"At school, I led Jim there. How is everything?"
"There is a new monster. It looks like a human with no face. Its arms are long whips, Laura shot one of its arms off, but it went after Odd. Laura pushed Odd out of the way. Jeremy got us out of the sector five just in time. Jeremy brought Laura back after Aelita and I went to the tower. Laura is burning up."
"What is wrong with her?"
"We don't know, but we will meet you in the park."
"Ok. I will be waiting." He said as he hanged up his cell. The gang took Laura to Ms. Perraudin's office. Mr.Delmas took Laura the hospital. Laura had an infection in her ankle. The gang and Mr.Delmas waited for two hours. Then the doctor said thee was an infection that was causing Laura to be sick. He told the gang that it is ok to see her. They entered the room Laura was in. Odd rushed up to the bed.
"Please, wake up, Laura." He begged. She opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" She asked. By now the gang and Mr. Delmas was standing next to her bed.
"At the hospital. You passed out." Yumi said.
"Well, I need to get to school. You don't need go to class today." Mr.Delmas said.
"Mr.Delmas, thank you." Laura said. Mr. Delmas walked out of the room.
"You know something. Today is Saturday. That means no school tomorrow." Yumi said.
"You are right. That means sleeping in." Ulrich said. Everyone laughed. Laura's laugh was quickly replaced with a yawn. Everyone saw that.
"We better let you get some rest." Aelita said.
"Would you be back tomorrow?" Laura asked.
"Of course, we will. Give us a call if you need anything." Jeremy replied. The gang left the room. Odd and Laura was the only two left.
"I am not leaving you here by yourself." Odd said.
"Thanks."
"Laura, I made a promise, and I will keep it."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"I am going to stay up."
"Odd, I love you."
"I love you too, Laura." He said as he saw she yawned. Laura closed her eyes and seconds she was asleep. Odd held her hand. He noticed that she was smiling. Odd got ready for a long night. They gang was in Jeremy's room, talking about XANA and Odd. Jeremy told the gang about his find in Franz Hopper's diary. He found out that Franz had a partner named Allan Stone. Everyone went to bed. Laura woke up to see Odd resting his head next to hers. She sat up and looked around the room. Odd woke up.
"Good morning."
"Good morning to you too. How did you sleep?"
"Good. Here comes the doctor." Laura said as the doctor looked at her chart.
"Well Ms. Stone, your chart looks good. The infection is gone. You can go home later today." He said. He left the room. Odd and Laura smiled.
"That is what wanted to hear."
"I know, Odd. I don't like hospitals. I was in the room when I lost my parents."
"Let's tell the others."
"Tell us what?" Yumi, Ulrich, Aelita, and Jeremy said together.
Odd and Laura looked at each other with that should-you-or-I-should-tell. Laura gave him I-will-tell-them look.
"I am getting out of here later today." She exclaimed.
"That is great." Yumi said happily.
"That means we can throw a little party." Odd said.
"What were you talking about last night, Ulrich?" Yumi whispered in his ear.
"He back." Ulrich said.
"Who's back?" Laura asked.
"Nothing." Ulrich replied.
"Can I ask something, Laura?" Jeremy asked.
"Go for it." She replied.
"When I was going through Franz Hopper's diary, I found a page about his partner, Allan Stone. Do you know him?"
"Yes, he was my father. He died from a car crash. He worked a lot with Franz. I remember because when ever I was over there. I played with a girl that likes a lot like Aelita. When my parents die, I was supposed to live with them. That what it said in my parents' will, but Franz and his daughter disappeared, so I went to a foster home. " Laura said sadly.
"Laura, is there anything else you want to say?" Yumi asked.
"Franz's daughter's name was Aelita. Aelita and I were always transported to a place once in while. We met a person. He never gave us his name, but he gave me a mark on back of my neck, and he putted one on Aelita too. When our parents finally transported us back, I was rushed to the hospital. I stayed there for about a week. On our way home, our car was hit by another car. No one was in the other car. My parents were rushed to the hospital, but when we got there, they die." Laura said as she looked out of the window.
"Could all those nightmares could link you to XANA?" Ulrich asked.
"I don't know." Laura said.
"Do you still have the mark?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah."
"Can we see it?" Odd asked. Laura moved her hair. The gang was shocked. It was XANA's mark.
"XANA is link to you, Laura." Odd said finally.
"Sorry for not telling you sooner." Laura said.
"It is ok." Odd said as he touched Laura's arm. She turned to him. She started to cry. Odd putted his arms around Laura. He pulled her to him. She cried into his shoulder.
"We now know more about Allan Stone, Franz Hopper, Lyoko, and XANA." Aelita said as she putted her hand on Laura's shoulder.
"It is ok." Odd said.
"I shouldn't ask about it." Jeremy said.
"I am glad you did. It was hurting me that I couldn't tell you all sooner." Laura said as she started to wipe the tears away.
"You not upset." Yumi asked.
"No. I am relief now knowing that is off my chest." Laura said. Mr.Delmas showed up. Everyone turned to look at him.
"Laura, are you ready?" He asked.
"Let me get dress." Laura said. Everyone left the room while a nurse helped Laura change. Laura got her crutches and met the gang out in the hallway. The doctor showed up. He handed Mr. Delmas all the papers.
"Mr. Delmas, can I walk back to school?" Laura asked.
"If it is ok with the doctor, it is ok with me." He replied.
"What do you say, doctor?" Odd asked.
"It will do her some good if she excised it once in a while. I don't see why not. Just be careful." The doctor said as he went to front desk.
"I will see you back at school." Mr.Delmas said. He left the gang. The gang walked out of the hospital. They went to the woods.
"XANA has been quite." Ulrich said.
"Yeah. Too quite." Aelita said.
"I am doing as scan on Lyoko." Jeremy said as he pulled his laptop out. Laura sat on the bench. Odd joined her.
"No activate towers." Jeremy said.
"I don't like this feeling." Laura said. They heard a scream. They turned around to see Sissy running to them.
"What's the matter, Sissy?" Ulrich asked.
"It is Herve. He is acting strange. Here he comes." Sissy said as she stood by Yumi.
"Odd, get Laura out of here." Yumi said. Herve came with his gang.
"Well, well, we meet again." He said as his gang surrounded the Lyoko gang.
"What do you want, Herve?" Ulrich asked. The Lyoko gang got ready to fight.
"Laura, of course. Now she is injured, she can't get away."
"You are not getting her." Odd yelled at Herve.
"That won't be a problem." He said laughing. Laura screamed. Odd turned to see William holding Laura.
"Let her go." Odd yelled at William.
"No. Thanks Herve for giving me to her." William said as he started to walked away.
"She is mine. Let me have her." Herve yelled.
"We were in this together before you backstabbed me."
"Well you started to lie to us."
"Well, we both knew that you will try to take her."
"How about you? You would do the same thing."
"Yes, I would, but she should be mine." William said. Herve punched William in the face. William let go Laura. Odd rushed up to her. He helped Laura up.
"Laura, get on my back." Odd said. Laura did what he told her to do. Once she was on his back, Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy fought their way out. Odd ran with Laura on his back. Sissy had Laura's crutches in her hands. She followed them back to school. Odd putted Laura down on the bench.
"What do we do?" Sissy asked.
"Sissy, get your father, and we will call the cops." Jeremy said. Yumi dialed the police station. She told them there were to boys fighting in the woods, and they just tried to kidnap her friend. Sissy came back with her father. The gang told him about everything from the kidnapping.
"Thanks for telling me. Why didn't you tell early, and where are the notes?" He asked.
"Whoever wrote the notes said if Laura told you, she would die." Odd said.
"Well the police will take it from here, so all of this was because of William and Herve?" Mr.Delmas asked.
"Yes, sir." Laura replied.
"Why?"
"They are both in love with her." Ulrich said.
"Well, don't worry about it. They won't be bothering you all anymore. They will be out of this school. They won't be going here anymore. I am going to call their parents now." Mr. Delmas left.
"Laura will be safe now." Ulrich said.
" She will be safe from William and Herve, but not XANA." Odd said.
"Let's not worry about it now. I am hungry. Let's go get some dinner." Laura said. The gang walked in to the lunch room. They got their food and sat down at their table. They ate until they heard noises outside. They got up and headed outside to she what all the noise was about. They saw William and Herve fighting with the police. The police were winning.
"That's what they get for kidnapping Laura." Odd said as he putted on arm around Laura's waist. The gang watched. Little did know that they were still be watch by the last stranger.
"William and Herve got what was coming to them. Now it is my turned. Laura will be mine." He laughed.
End of Flashback
Two weeks had past. Laura's ankle had healed enough for her to do some excises. There were no new XANA's attacks. The gang was getting worry.
"No XANA for two weeks. Something is wrong." Laura said as she walked around the gym Aelita. She wasn't allowed to run yet.
"I know. It is making me worry. Laura, can I see the mark on back your neck?"
"I don't mind. Here." Laura removed her hair.
"Laura, can I show you something?"
"Go a head."
"I will do after class."
"Ok." Laura said. Odd ran up to her.
"What you are doing?" He asked as she jogged next to them.
"Just talking."
"Ok. I love you."
"I love you, too." Laura replied. Odd gave her a fast kiss.
"Odd, you know kissing until after class."
"I know, but I had to." He said as he started to run off.
"You know is in love with you."
"I know." Laura said. Then Odd came behind them. He picked up Laura and swing her around. He putted her down and ran.
"Odd, GET BACK HERE NOW!" Laura yelled. Ulrich jogged up to the girls.
"What did he do?" He asked.
"First he kissed me, and then he picked me up, and swing me around."
"Is that all?"
"Yeah for now." Laura said. Odd sneaked right behind Ulrich, and he mess up Ulrich's hair.
"Odd, your dead." Ulrich said as he chased Odd.
"Boys." Thought Laura and Aelita.
"Time to change." Aelita said as she looked at her watch. The girls went into the girls' locker room.
"So what did you want to show me?"
"This." Aelita said as she removed her shirt. It was the mark of XANA. Laura turned pale.
"You mean."
"Yep. I was the little girl you use to hang with. Our father transported us to Lyoko when we were younger where we met XANA, but he isn't the XANA you and I knew. With my memories, he got stronger. When I saw you, I knew who you were, but I didn't say anything until I knew for sure. When dad found out that your parents die, he was getting ready for you to come, but the government chased us. Dad told me to follow him to the factory. Dad and I were transported to Lyoko. I lost my memories. XANA took them. A few years later, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremy activated Lyoko. That is how we met, and this whole thing began." Laura just looked shock. She shook her head a few times. Then she smiled.
"Thanks Aelita for telling me. I thought you two were gone forever. Now I know." Laura said as she hugged Aelita.
"Should I tell the others?"
"We will tell them together."
"Ok. Thanks goodness that this is our last class for the day."
"Yeah. Let's hurry. The gang is waiting." Laura said. Aelita and Laura got dress and headed out to the bench.
"It looks like we are the first ones."
"Let's sit down."
"Ok." The girls sat on the bench. Odd thought it will a joke if he could scare Laura. He sneaked right behind her. He putted his hand on her shoulder, and he was just about to pick her up, she flipped him over her shoulder. He landed on the ground hard. The girls began to laugh.
"Serves you right to sneak up on me." Laura said as she tried to control her laughing. She reached her hand out, and Odd grabbed it. The rest of the gang showed up. Laura and Aelita were still laughing.
"What is so funny?" Yumi asked.
"Odd went to scare Laura, and she flipped him over her shoulder." Aelita stated as she control.
"You flipped Odd?" Ulrich asked.
"Yep. Now he should learned his lesson." Laura said as she finally stopped laughing.
"Ouch. I didn't know that you would do something like that." Odd wined. Laura moved over, so Odd could sit down. Laura putted her head on his should.
"Where did you learn that?" Jeremy asked.
"I took martial arts when I was younger. I am a black belt." Laura said. She looked up at Odd. Odd looked at something.
"What is the matter?" Laura asked.
"Something is over there. Wait here and I will check it out." He said as he got up. He left.
"I am going with him." Ulrich said as he started to follow Odd. The rest of the gang followed. They saw Odd laying on the ground. Laura ran up to him. She kneeled next to him.
"Odd, wake up." Laura said as she began to cry. Odd didn't open his eyes. Jeremy went to feel a palse.
"Someone go get Mr.Delmas." Jeremy yelled. Aelita ran to Mr.Delmas.
"What the matter with him?" Laura asked.
"I don't know." Jeremy replied. Mr.Delmas and Aelita ran up.
"What happen?" Mr.Delmas asked.
"Odd saw something, and he went to check it out. We followed him just a few minutes later, and we found him like this." Laura explained.
"I call the hospital." Mr.Delmas said as he reached for his cell. Odd was transported to the hospital. The gang followed with Mr.Delmas in the school's van. Laura went with Odd. The gang got to the hospital, and they waited. Laura was sitting in the corner with her head in her knees. Aelita walked up next to her. She sat next to Laura. Aelita putted her arm around Laura's shoulder. Laura looked up at her with tears in her eyes. Aelita pulled Laura closer to her.
"I hate waiting." Ulrich said.
"I know. Poor Laura. She is really upset." Yumi said as she looked at Laura. Laura looked up at Aelita.
"Should we tell them now?" Laura asked.
"Yeah."
"Tell us what?" Jeremy asked as he looked up from his computer.
"The mark that is on Laura's neck, I have one too. Sorry for not telling you all sooner, but I just thought it was a birthmark, but when Laura showed hers, I knew it wasn't a birthmark. I was that little girl Laura talked about." Aelita explained.
"I freed you from XANA, so how you can still be linked to him?" Jeremy asked.
"She is not linked to him anymore, but I am. When you found her memories, her link to XANA was broken, but not mine." Laura stated.
"So XANA is after you now?" Yumi asked.
"Yep. When he gave me the mark, he linked me to him. All the nightmares, dreams, and meeting you all were from him. I guess I was running from him, and he didn't like it, so he gave me bad luck. My parents, my friends, and my life were just away for him to get me back here. That's the reason he attacked before you could shut down Lyoko."
"How do you know all about this?" Yumi asked.
"In my dreams." Laura replied. The doctor walked out.
"How is he?" Mr.Delmas asked.
"He must hit head on something because all of his tests say he is normal." The Doctor said.
"Can we see him?" Laura asked.
"Sure. Talk to him. He might wake up. Follow me." The doctor said. The gang and Mr. Delmas followed him to the room Odd was in. Laura ran up to his bed.
"Odd, it is me, Laura. Please wake up." Laura started to cry.
"Odd, we are all here for you." Aelita said.
"I am staying here with Odd. He did it for me." Laura stated.
"Laura, we have to go now, but we will be here tomorrow." Jeremy said. Laura said nothing.
"Please take care of yourself." Aelita said as she left the room. Laura sat by Odd's bed. She held his hand.
"Odd, I am sorry for flipping you." She said. Odd didn't wake up. Laura got ready for a long night.
The gang was in Jeremy's room talking.
"Poor, Laura. She is so worry about Odd. I hope he will wake up." Yumi said.
"I wish that Odd will come in this right now with Laura." Aelita said. All the sudden the real Odd walked up.
"Hi, guys. What is up?" Odd said.
"How did do get out of the hospital?" Jeremy asked.
"I was in no hospital. I was taking a test for Mrs. Hertz. Why?"
"Laura and I met you outside at the bench. You saw something and went to look at it. Ulrich went to find you, and we found you on the ground. You were transported to the hospital." Aelita explained.
"XANA is at it again." Ulrich said.
"I am checking the scan now. There are two activate towers. One in the polar and forest sectors." Jeremy said.
"That means Laura is in trouble." Odd said. The gang ran to the hospital.
Laura noticed that that wasn't Odd at all. It was XANA's trick. The fake Odd grabbed Laura and headed to the factory. The real Odd saw the fake Odd carrying Laura. Laura looked shocked. Two Odds.
"Let her go XANA." The real Odd yelled. The fake Odd just stood there. Laura saw her chance, and she hit the fake Odd in the ribs. He dropped her. She got up and started to run to the gang. The fake Odd started to chase Laura. Ulrich ran up and kicked the fake Odd in the head. Laura ran up into the real Odd's arms. He hugged her. They ran to the factory. The fake Odd followed them. They arrive at the factory. When they were in the elevator, Laura spoke.
"I am going fight with the fake Odd." Laura said.
"Not without us." Ulrich said.
"First, we should deactivate the towers. Laura, Yumi, and Aelita, you go to Lyoko. Odd and Ulrich will fight the fake Odd." Jeremy said as he walked to the supercomputer.
"Ok, that sounds like a plan. Let's go." Ulrich said. Odd and Ulrich went fight the fake Odd. Jeremy transported the girls to the polar sector first. Jeremy had the overboard and the overwing ready for the girls.
"The tower is just Northwest from you." Jeremy said.
"Ok." Yumi said as she and Aelita jumped on the overwing. Laura jumped on the overboard. Aelita entered the tower. She typed the code in.
"Aelita"
"Code"
"Lyoko"
"Tower deactivated, Jeremy. We are heading to the next one." Aelita said as she left the tower. She jumped on the overwing again.
"Don't have to. XANA just deactivated for us. Where is Laura?" Jeremy asked.
"She was just behind us. Can you see her on your screen?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah. She is in the forest sector. I don't know how she got there. The overboard is there with her, but she is surround by monsters."
"We are on our way." Yumi said.
"I see her. She is fighting." Aelita said.
"I am going to bring you all back." Jeremy said as he typed the code in. Ulrich and Odd was waiting down in the scanner room. Yumi first came out. Then Aelita came out of the scanner. Odd waited for Laura to come. Laura came of the scanner. She started to fall. Odd caught her.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. I am just weak from fighting." She replied.
"I am doing a return to the past." Jeremy said. He typed the code in. A white light surround the gang. They found themselves at gym class again. Odd did everything again. Aelita and Laura walked out of the girls' locker room and went to the bench. Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremy walked up.
"Odd is taking a test." Ulrich said.
"I know. I am going for a walk by myself. If Odd shows up, tell him I went for a walk, and I will be back before dinner." Laura said as she left the bench. She headed for the park.
"Laura is acting strange." Yumi said.
"She is having a hard time. She is trying to take everything." Aelita said. Odd showed up.
"Where is Laura?" He asked.
"She went for a walk. She said not to worry because she will be back before dinner." Yumi said.
"I overheard Nicolas talking to this boy. They were talking about Laura. I must go find her. Which way did she go?" Odd asked.
"She went to the park." Ulrich said. Odd started to run.
"She might be in trouble, and I am the only one to keep her save." Odd thought as he ran faster.
Laura was sitting on the lowest branch of a tree. She had her eyes close. She let one of her legs hanged past the branch. She was thinking about everything.
"I miss my parents. XANA is going to pay for killing them. He wants me. He doesn't want my memory, he wants me for something else. I am the only one can stop him now. At least I met some friends. They will protect me. I love Odd with everything in the world, and if I ever lost him, I won't know what to do. He is my life. Maybe all those dreams were from my parent? Maybe they were trying let me see in the future? I don't know." Laura thought. She didn't notice that Odd was right below her. He climbed the branch next to her.
"What are you doing?" He asked. He made Laura jump. She almost fell out of the tree, but Odd caught her.
"Odd, you brat."
"Thank you. What are you doing up here?"
"I was thinking."
"About what?"
"My parents, XANA, and you."
"Tell me."
"Aelita has the mark of XANA too. She remembers everything."
"Anything else?"
"Yeah, about the dreams. I starting to believe that my parents are trying to let me to see the future. I am scare Odd. I don't want to loose you or the gang."
"Don't worry, you won't loose us, and about the dreams, don't worry. Everything has its own way to turn out. You will see."
"Thanks Odd. What about XANA?"
"If he hurts one little hair on your head, he will be dealing with me." Odd said this and Laura smiled.
"Thanks Odd. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Let's get back before the others worry." Odd said as he jumped out of the tree. Laura slipped and almost fell out of the tree when Odd caught her.
"Thanks." Laura said before Odd kissed her. Behind a tree, the stranger was watching.
"They are alone. Here is my chance." He said. He putted his mask on.
"Who's that?" Laura asked.
"I don't know, but he is coming this way."
"Who are you?" Laura yelled at the stranger.
"Give me Laura, and no one will get hurt." The stranger said as he pulled a gun out of his jacket.
"Odd, please be care. He has a gun." Laura whispered in Odd's ear.
"I am not going to tell you again. Let me have Laura, and no one will get hurt." He said again walking closer to Laura and Odd.
"NEVER!" Odd yelled. The stranger fired the gun. Odd felt something entered his shoulder. He fell on the ground. Laura kneeled next to him. She started to cry.
"You will pay for that."
"He got what was coming to him. Let's go." The stranger said as he grabbed Laura's arm. His mask fell off. He dragged her to the Hemitage. When they got to Hemitage, the stranger took Laura to the master bedroom. He throw a towel at her.
"Here is a towel, there is everything in the bathroom. In the closet are some dressed. Get dress. I will be back in three hours. There is a suit case in the closet, so pack. We are leaving this area." The stranger said. Laura headed for the bathroom.
Meanwhile, the gang was looking for Odd and Laura. They found Odd on the ground. H e was bleeding from the shoulder. He saw the gang running up to him.
"Odd, are you ok?" Aelita asked.
"Yeah. A stranger came and shot me. He took Laura. He lost his mask. I didn't get a really good look, but he look like…. (A/n: Sorry about cutting it off there.)
Laura got out of the shower. She looked at the dresses. She saw a dark, purple dress. She got dress and went to the bathroom to washed the blood off her uniform. She notice that her cell was in her pocket. She went to get it. She flipped it over to find the battery was still there. She started to dial Odd's cell.
Odd heard his cell go off. Jeremy was wrapping Odd arm. The bullet just cut the skin. Odd answer his cell.
"Hello?"
"Odd, is that you?"
"Laura?"
"I am so glad that you are ok."
"The bullet missed my arm. It only left a scratch. Where are you?"
"At the Hemitage, but I won't be there for long. In two hours, the guy told me that we will be leaving."
"We are coming."
"Good. I don't want to leave."
"Don't worry. We will have the police."
"Good. He is coming. I will talk to you later." Laura said before she hanged up. She hided her cell in her pocket again.
"Well, we are staying here for the night." The stranger said.
"Well, you are, but I am not."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know who you are. Nicolas."
"How did you find out?"
"You lost your mask when you grabbed me." Laura said. Nicolas was shocked.
"So what! Odd is dead now and there is not anyone to safe you."
"Oh yes there is."
"I would like to see."
"Look behind you, Nick." Odd said. Nicolas turned around to see the gang, Mr.Delmas and police standing there.
"How did you find us?" Nicolas asked. Laura pulled out her cell.
"Cell phones are one of the greatest things made." Laura said as she waved he cell. Nicolas pulled out his gun and pointed at Laura. Laura kicked out of his hands. The police arrested Nicolas, and they took him away. Odd went up to Laura. He hugged her for a long time. Odd finally let go of Laura.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, now you all are here." Laura replied.
"Laura, what do you want to do? Do you want to transfer schools?" Mr.Delmas asked.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I don't. I am happy at Kadic." Laura said.
"Ok. See when you get back to school." Mr.Delmas said as he left the room. The gang walked up to Laura. They hugged her. She smiled at all of them. They walked out of the Hemitage. Odd had his arm wrapped around Laura's waist. They looked at the stars. They headed back to school, but they didn't that the final battle with XANA was coming up. XANA was getting ready for the last attack. Laura could feel XANA growing in power.
"XANA is going to attack soon, and we are not ready." Laura whispered in Odd's ear.
"What are you talking about, Laura?" He said.
"I can feel XANA growing in power."
"Hey, Laura! What is the problem?" Yumi asked.
"XANA is getting ready to attack. He is gaining power. I can feel it." Laura said.
"What do we need to get ready?" Jeremy asked.
"I think I know how we can be XANA, but we need to be in our Lyoko forms." Laura said to Jeremy.
"How do we do that?" He asked.
