Pray for Me
XANA causes a lightning strike at six in the morning. Students ran left and right as sparks started to fly. Aelita woke up and saw the lightning bolts striking the ground. She catches the "eye of XANA" among the lighting. She runs down the hallway and hides. Aelita flashes back to when XANA first came back and the lightning strike. "XANA came back after my father sacrificed himself. It will not get away with this shit!" Aelita picks up a bat and prepares to fight anything that comes her way until she is dragged into a room. "Get off of me!" Aelita screams. "Hey, it's us," Yumi said. "Where did you all go?" "We all went everywhere, but after I found Ulrich and Dawn hiding, we found the others. We are trying to get William but no luck." "I got a message from him," Brock said. "He is downstairs with some students." "Good; what is the plan?" Aelita asks. "Besides stopping XANA, nothing," Jeremy said. "Hold on. What about the MAS 2.0?" Allison asks. "It's done, but there is no way we are going to make it to the factory with the ninjas and the krabs, not to mention XANA and Super Sayian Tyron." "I spoke to William, and we figured out that XANA is having trouble finding us," Brock said. "That makes sense. It took a while for XANA to attack us at the Sanctuary," Ash said. "It could also be our Soldier Watches that we have," Dawn said as she wiped the dust off her orange watch. "Each one has a piece of the Crystal in it, but William is not so lucky," Allison said. "I agree; XANA will catch up to him," Odd said. "I have an idea," Ulrich said. William stands guard in the laundry room. He looks around as he hears the drip, drip around him. William looks at the students and sees Sissi praying, Ash J and Rocky gathering anything they could find as weapons, Moxie trying to calm down the younger students, and a black moving cloth. "Who's there?!" William shouts. "It's me, Cressila," Cressila said. "Right, Brock's girlfriend," Hiroki said. Cressila blushes. "No. We're friends." "Sure, like how my sister and her boyfriend were friends." "Okay, how did you get here?" Willam asks. "There are two other schools here." William nods and hears a sound. "Who's that?!" He yells. "Us," Jeremy said. Ash J runs and hugs his sister. "I was scared," Ash J said. "I was too, but we are all safe," Allison said. Ulrich gives William a small piece of crystal. "Take this extra battery," Ulrich said. "Thanks," William said. "What is the plan?" Rocky asks. "To get rid of the Lowell Lunatic," Sissi said. "He is causing this." "It is bigger than that," Jeremy said. Everyone looks at him. "What are you doing?" Odd asks. "Getting reinforcements. An evil artificial intelligence possesses Lowell Tyron." "The ghostly black thing on the news," Rocky said. "Hold on," Ash J said. "I knew it. I heard the name, XANA." "I heard it too," Sissi said. "Yes, XANA is dangerous, and we found a code that can kill it. However, XANA knows when it is in danger." "How did you get this code?" Moxie asks. "Who cares," Cressila said. "If you need us, I'm here." "Me too," Moxie said. "Is the select you all have been keeping?" Sissi asks. "Yes," Ulrich said. "Can I take a rain check?" There was a boom and a crash. "Nevermind, I'm in," Sissi said. "Us, too," Ash J and Rocky said. "Good. Right now, we need to get back to school; here is the plan," Jeremy said.
Sissi and Rocky stand guard outside the church as Ash J and Moxie are ready to use their Pokemon. William looks around and sees a krab on the street. He signals to the group, and they head out. "The goal is to get back to school and head for the factory," Jeremy said. "I'll lead the way," William said. "Eye, eye, captain," Odd said. The krab moves closer to the Sanctuary, and Ash J and Moxie attack. "Umbreon, Shadow Ball," Ash J commands. "Meganium, Razor Leaf," Moxie commands. The attacks hit the target and destroys the krab. "Look out," Rocky shouts as a ninja comes forward and attacks Sissi. "Let me go," she screams. Venusaur, Stun Spore," Rocky commands. TheNinjaa uses their Bō staff to fan the Stun Spore away. "Looney, Night Slash follow by Double Edge," Cressila commands. Her Galarian Linoone, Looney, attacks the ninja by breaking its staff and tackling it, and it disappears. "Wait, it wasn't real." "It is a specter," Ash J said. "Allison explained what they are. However, not all of the ninjas may be a specter." Sissi gulps.
"I'm glad I am not a part of the group." The Warriors race back to campus as fog appears. "The weather report said sunny all day," Yumi said. "Yeah, and the pollen was low," Ash said. "Why are you asking about the pollen? Cough." Aelita asks. "I have an itchy *cough* throat." "The fog is *cough* thick," Brock said. "This is like when XANA made fog that caused suffocation. Cough," Ulrich said. "I think *cough* so," Jeremy said. "I thought, *cough* XANA doesn't make the same attack twice. Cough," Allison said. "We need to get back to the dorms *cough* quick," Odd said. They made it back to the dorms. "The air is much better," Dawn said. "I see the fog is all over campus; we have to go through the park," Jeremy said. "Not so fast," Ash said. "That is the worst idea ever. XANA and Tyron will look for us there. We should go through school." "That is risky," Yumi said. "I think Ash is right. We have to take the fastest route. However, how are we going to get through?" Aelita asks. "With these," Allison holds some N95 masks. "You know, I thought they were all burned to the ground," Odd moans. "Hey, it was a rough year," Dawn said. "Hey, we have a situation," William said. "Okay, mask up and let's go," Jeremy said. The Warriors grab bikes from the gym and head for the factory.
Daphne speaks to Fred about her sister, Anthea. "You're sure it's her?" Fred asks. "Yes. We need answers, and we are getting them today," Daphne said. She opens the door and sees her youngest daughter's friends' parents! "Daphne, my Queen, what do you need?" Walter asks. "What do I need? I want answers," Daphne demands. "What is this about?" Akiko asks. "The Green Phoenix," Fred said. "We have no idea what you are talking about," Micheal said. "Stop lying. I know that your memory was not erased as others thought. You all worked on the project with my brother-in-law and knew Walter was the middle man," Daphne said. "What does this have to do with this meeting?" Takeho asks. "I am so confused?" Margaret asks. "It's nothing. I think our Queen is stressed," Robert said. "If you haven't noticed, there is a natural disaster occurring outside, and it is because of a man named Lowell Tyron," Johanna said. "How is he still around?" Walter asks. "Now, we are getting somewhere," Clint replies. "Look, we left that life behind years ago. What does that have to do with this meeting, Daphne?" Micheal asks. "Lowell Tyron is involved with my sister's disappearance and the disaster that has occurred," Daphne said. "Also, how will it look to your children that you lied to them?" Delia asks. "And you, Walter? You are hard on your son and his choice of friends" "He needs to make better friends," Walter shoots back. "You don't know them. But you lead the money, and the greed gets the better of you, so you don't want your son to be friends with the children of the people you have betrayed!" Walter tries to lounge at Delia, but his wife stops him. "Stop! She is right," Jessica said. "She is not blaming you for this but pointing out the truth." "I don't think Lowell Tyron makes the connection between our children and us, but he tried to bribe our niece with her mother," Fred said. "What happened?" Akiko asks. "The principal explained that I am my niece's guardian, and he tried to put a tracker on her, but it failed," Daphne said. "Who told you?" Robert asks. "My son. He and his best friend were there." "You all were a part of a criminal organization!" Margret shouts. "It was years ago. Look, we all need to relax because we don't know where Anthea is." There was a knock on the door. Delia looks through the peephole on the door. "Two men with Hitmonchamps," Delia said. "Those are Lowell Tyron's bodyguards," Daphne said. 'Everyone, come," Fred said. They all went through a door. The Hitmonchamps punched their way into the room, and it was empty. "They're gone," one bodyguard said. "We need them. We need to punish those Lyoko Warriors," XANA said.
The Lyoko Warriors arrive at the factory. They take off their masks, and Odd gasps. "I thought the fog was going to seep in," he said. "Me too. It was getting thicker," Ash said. "However, we made it," Jeremy said. William speaks to Jeremy. "What is the next phase of the plan?" "To return to the Volcano Replika and use the MAS 2.0." "Okay," Allison said. "But, there is a catch." "Which is?" Yumi asks. "Code: DOWN. It is way too prominently shut down XANA," Jeremy said. "Why haven't we used it before?" Brock asks. "Because it will wipe everything and only leave a shell of a Supercomputer," William said. "Hold on for a moment," Aelita said. "We don't intend to use it unless we have to. Remember, XANA has possessed Tyron, Code: DOWN might kill him." Jeremy nods. "Okay. I have another idea." "It is a way to rid the world of the krab infestation?" Ulrich asks. "Yeah. Think about all the time you went to the Replikas and sought out the Supercomputers." "Wait, you can make us appear in or Lyoko forms here?" Dawn asks. "I can. Aelita and I have been working on it for some time." "It was simple; some of you would be transported from special teleporters from Sector Five," Aelita said. "Is it ready?" Yumi asks. "It is," Jeremy said. The Lyoko Warriors agree. Once in Sector Five, they meet with twenty Creepers and destroy twenty Creepers. "Since XANA is too busy causing chaos on Earth, the monsters on Lyoko are weaker," Yumi said. "However, the krabs on Earth are stronger," Allison said. "Also, the monsters on the Volcano Replika are strong as well," Ash said. The Lyoko Warriors are at the new transporters. "Who is going back to Earth?" Brock asks. "Yumi, Ulrich, Allison, and Ash. The rest of you are needed on the Volcano Replika," Jeremy said. "Okay. I came up with a strategy for those monsters," Odd said. The four Warriors take their place on the transporters as the others head for the Skid. Once the transfer is complete, they all look around. "We're at school but in our Lyoko Avatars," Yumi said. "Also, the fog is gone," Ulrich said. "And here comes the welcome party," Ash said. "Okay, you have all the time in the world but remember, XANA and Tyron are out for blood," Jeremy said. "Well, I am thirsty," Allison teases. The four are off and come face to face with two krabs. Ash J sees his twin sister in her Lyoko form. "It looks like they did what they had to do." "And we need to keep up our end," Cressila said. Once on the Volcano Replika, Aelita sees a way tower, and William finds an activated building. "Is that tower for Tyron?" William asks. "It is. It is guarded," Jeremy said. "We can handle it," Brock said as he took out his bow and arrows. "Let's go," Aelita said. XANA sense the Lyoko Warriors got the upper hand. "Tyron, deal with the brats here on Earth; I am sending in more monsters on Lyoko. Professor Tyron sends six robots to the Sanctuary while he creates Erupt, a giant lava monster.
XANA's tentacles connect to all of the power lines and speak. "You are all worthless," it said as he shocked the ropes and sent waves all across Paris.
