Merry Christmas everybody! Now that Macas has been introduced to Lyoko, I can get on with the original plot line! hurray!

Did anybody notice the correlation? Chapter 25 of the 25th of December? Ooo, now I can act like i planned it!

(Ulrich P.O.V.)

By the time everyone is devirtualized (Odd ended up getting his life points taken by Yumi) it's time for dinner. We head out of the factory and into the sewers, it's Odd's turn to run. We leave out of the manhole and start walking through the park.

"What would you way is the funniest attack XANA has ever done?"

"I don't think any of them are funny." Jeremie replies disapprovingly

"I don't know, that Teddy Godzilla one was pretty hilarious." Odd says laughing.

"Maybe to you, you weren't about to get squished by a teddy bear."

Macas starts laughing. "He actually took control of a teddy bear? How lame…"

"Well, it's not so lame when it's two stories high." I reply.

"Ah, now that would be a threat. Which one would you say was the most deadly?" The group is silent for a second.

"I think it was the one where XANA possessed Jeremie. Without him, it was hard to go to Lyoko." Aelita says.

"I think it was where XANA made a polymorphic clone to break up the group." Yumi said.

"How could that break up you guys?"

"It transformed into different members of our group and kissed other people." Odd replied, rounding a bend in the trail.

"Ah, I see it didn't go too well when the Ulrich clone kissed someone."

"Nope." I reply and stop in front of the cafeteria. "Oh, here we are. I'll see you tomorrow, okay Yumi?"

"Okay, see you later." Yumi waves and walks off towards the front gates.

"Do you think they ate all the food already?" Odd asks, looking concerned.

"Odd, you haven't eaten yet. There's no way it's all gone." Jeremie says and we walk in to have a good dinner.

(Macas P.O.V.)

"Hey Macas, I made some progress on your trial case." Jeremie says.

"Really? What have you got?" I say eagerly, hoping he has uncovered something that I didn't.

"I guess now that you know about… well you know, I can tell you. XANA infected the video camera, laying his own movie over the original. It was actually XANA who possessed William and attacked Yumi."

"Why would he want to frame me?"

"I don't know. Maybe he wanted you out of here before you could join our team. Maybe he just doesn't like you. Maybe there's some deeper meaning, I don't know."

"Are you going to present it at my trial?" I ask.

"Yup. I'll let them show the messed up one, then I will show how I pulled out the overlap and play the original. That should release you just fine. But it will get William expelled for something he didn't do…"

"That wouldn't be fair. Could you possible re-make the video again? Change it so a stranger beat up Yumi?" Ulrich asks.

"No. Well, maybe. What XANA did was really complicated, he matched every movement perfectly. If I had a couple of months, unlimited time, and unlimited energy, I could do that. I may be smart, but I just don't have the calculating power that XANA has." Jeremie says. "I have to wait until my computer has finished extracting the extra video, then we can decide on what to do."

"How long will that take? Till breakfast?" Odd says.

"I don't think so. XANA really complicated this, it might not even be ready before Friday."

"Well, if it's not we can say our early good-byes to Macas." Ulrich says.

"Well, I'm going to bed. I'm tired. I guess I'll see you guys at breakfast okay?" Jeremie says, getting up to leave.

"Yah, okay. See you tomorrow Jeremie." I say, and wave as he walks out the door.

(Normal P.O.V.)

After dinner, Jeremie decided not to go to bed just yet. He walked over to William's room and knocked on the door.

"Hey Jeremie, what's up?"

"Bad stuff. Have you heard about Macas Keloly's trial?"

"Yah, it's all over school. Why do you ask?"

"Because you are a part of it."

"What? I'm haven't even talked to the kid."

"Yah, I know. Look, Macas was caught beating up Yumi by a security camera."

"What? I didn't know that. If he ever touches her again, I'm gonna-."

"Hold on, hold on. Something weird happened with the camera. I got a hold of the tape, and I looked at it. I dissected it, and instead of Macas beating up Yumi, it showed you."

"What the hell? I haven't ever beat up Yumi. I would never dare to." Jeremie didn't see a certain symbol flash in William's eyes when he said that. If he had, he probably would have run to his room and check Lyoko for a tower.

"I know. But that is what the tape showed. I'm going to have to present it at the court so Macas won't be expelled. If I do though, most likely you will be expelled." Unfortunately for Jeremie, William was 'randomly' selected to be one of the jurors in the trial.

"I don't know what to do. Will you let me think about it?"

"Sure, of course." Jeremie walks back to his room thinking about everything that was going on. William unfortunately was plotting in his room. Being possessed by XANA, he had no control over what he was doing. His movements were controlled by XANA, his thoughts were controlled by XANA.

Jeremie has discovered the modification. If he succeeds, this body will be banished from this school, and I will have to start all over again. I must stop Jeremie at all costs.

With that, William snuck out of his room and made his way to Jeremie's. By the time he got there, Jeremie was already fast asleep. William walked inside and locked the door. It was then that Jeremie woke up to find William standing above him.

"William? What are you doing here?" Jeremie asks, still half asleep, his brain trying to understand why William was standing above him. With one sharp kick to the head, Jeremie was unconscious and William was free to dispose of him. Jeremie was bleeding from a small, thin cut on the side of his head, and from the mouth.

I can't get rid of him. I need him to transfer Aelita to Lyoko eventually so I can steal the rest of her memory. I will take him to a secure place.

And with that, William picked up Jeremie's unconscious body and carried him outside.

Anybody have any guesses on where he's taking Jeremie? R&R with a guess! This story is coming to a close, but a sequal will be coming. I welcome any Ideas you guys have for the sequal, or for any other story for that matter!
