Ark, Skitz, and Mira are in Skitz's dorm room. Skitz and Ark were having practice and Skitz was getting annoyed by Mira. "Mira, I don't hang around when it's your time why do you bother us when it's my time?"
"I'm such a piece a piece of meat." Ark laughs but the two girls don't.
"What? Ark said I could listen to you guys. You sound good, I liked the last song."
"I don't care I don't want you in my room."
"Fine." Mira stands up and walks over to Sanne's bed. "Now I'm on Sanne's side of the room." Mira sticks her tongue out at Skitz.
"Mira, maybe you could leave. I like having an audience but I guess Skitz doesn't." Ark is trying to keep the two girls in his life from fighting but it doesn't work.
"Why the hell does she worry about these band practices? You guys are good as it is and since we have a little something that pretty much stops you from getting gigs anywhere you don't need to practice so much."
"A little thing? Xana is definitely not a little thing."
"Don't get mad at me I'm not the one who released him." Mira puts her hands up when Skitz throws a drumstick at her.
"Out!" Mira gets off of Sanne's bed and leaves the room. She stops when she is outside the door for Ark but he doesn't go. He agrees that Mira went a little too far with the last comment. Mira closes the door then walks down the hallway. "I can't believe you like her."
"Hey she's fun, smart, and when you're not around she doesn't act like that." Ark tries to defend Mira but Skitz was put into a foul mood.
"Oh so it's my fault? I try to keep you from getting sent home because all you do is help the public school retard instead of doing your own work. I have to do all the work with trying to make new songs and get you away from her and yet you defend her. Leave." Skitz points to the door.
"But sis I…" Skitz raises her other arm with the other drumstick as a threat. "Ok, sorry." Ark grabs his keyboard and leaves the room.
"I can't believe he'd defend her after what she said." Skitz gets up and gets the drum stick she threw at Mira. She puts her practice pad and drumsticks away before calling Barack. "Hey, band practice was cut short want to go do something?"
"Sure, I heard the Arcade got the newest version of Castle Siege."
"Ok, sure, sounds like fun." Skitz and Barack hang up. "Going to a virtual world, should have asked if he wanted to do something else. Hacking up knights should be a good release for this." Skitz leaves her dorm room.
A minute later Sanne goes to her dorm room to get gym clothes when she finds the room empty. "Hmmm, I thought they were doing band practice." She shrugs her shoulders and finds her bag with her gym clothes in it. When she reaches for the bag she sees something and pulls her hand away. "Ew, a spider." She flicks it with a finger and grabs her gym clothes.
When Sanne gets to the gym she sees Krieger already on a wrestling mat stretching. "Wow that looks like it hurts." Krieger is able to stretch far enough to touch his forehead to the mat with his leg stretched out.
"No more then it hurts you to sit down in front of the control panel of the Super Computer." Sanne had spent almost the entire week at the Factory when she wasn't at school. Krieger stands up. "If you don't work out regularly your muscles will start to hurt and go away." Sanne rubs her arms.
"Is that what this is?" Krieger nods. "Ok Master, Sensei, teach me." Krieger does a palm thrust at Sanne's head. She sees it coming and leans backwards. Krieger misses and becomes unbalanced. He stumbles into Sanne and they fall onto the mat.
"Good reflexes." Krieger gets up then helps Sanne up. "But not good enough." While Sanne's hand is still in his he moves and flips her over his shoulder. He tries to let go of her hand but she doesn't let go. Instead Sanne pulls on Krieger's arm and pulls him to the mat next to her.
"Say that again." Sanne may not be as good as Krieger but she had been learning and was getting better.
"Wait." Krieger reaches over to her and Sanne gets the wrong idea and punches Krieger. "Ow, no, you got a spider on your arm." Krieger rubs his chest where Sanne punched him. "You haven't lost a step spending all that time in front of the monitor." Krieger reaches over and grabs the spider by a leg and pulls it off. He walks over to the gym door and lets the spider go.
"Did you really need to do that?"
"Do what?"
"Let the spider go? I usually just squish them or flick them away."
"Hey spiders eat mosquitoes and other insects no reason to kill them." But how wrong Krieger was would soon be found out.
The spider Krieger released into the outdoors walks across the ground. When it walks under a light post a black mist comes out and attacks the spider. The spider grows and grows until it is a meter long from fang to silk maker. The black mist moves across the Kadic Academy campus and attacks another spider and then another. The spiders follow the black mist at it creates more and more giant spiders.
"Ok, nice try, now try to block this." Krieger and Sanne continue sparring when a window shatters. Krieger and Sanne look over and see several gigantic spiders crawling through the broken gym window. "How much you want to bet this is Xana?"
"Let me check." Sanne runs across the room and grabs her bag. Before she opens it she can hear the beeping.
"Check? Sanne there are monster spiders invading the gym I think we know if Xana is attacking or not." Krieger runs over to Sanne as more spiders come in.
"Forest Sector." Sanne reaches in her bag and gets her Jcell out. "I also had to get my phone to call the others."
"Oh, ok, but we need to make a break for it." The giant spiders blocked off the main entrance to the gym but Krieger knew another way out. "Follow me." Krieger runs into the exercise room and Sanne follows. He closes the doors and locks them.
"This isn't exactly a way to escape is it?"
"Yes it is." Krieger goes over to a window and pushes a weight bench closer to it. He stands on the weight bench and is barely able to reach the lever to open window. "Come on Sanne." Sanne goes over and gets on the weight bench next to Krieger. The exercise door cracks when a spider slams against it. "Hurry." Krieger cups his hands together to make a place for Sanne to stand on. He lifts her up to the window but as she starts to go through she gets stuck.
"I'm caught on something!" Her waistband of the gym pants she wore had been caught on the turn lever used to open the window. She struggles but can't get loose. The exercise room door cracks and splinters as the spiders slam against it to get their prey.
"Sorry Sanne." Krieger reaches up and pushes Sanne hard not knowing how she was stuck. When she falls forward her pants are pulled off before she hits the ground. Soon after Krieger launches himself through the window, flips forward and lands on his feet. "Ok now we have to…" He sees Sanne. "Um, I," He turns away as he blushes.
"It's not like you don't see more when I'm in a bathing suit." Sanne stands up slowly after the landing. She had the wind knocked out of her but she had to get to the Factory. "Sewer entrance in the woods is probably the safest bet." Sanne reaches down to her side. "Damn it my phone was in the pocket." She looks up at her pants, they were too high up for her or Krieger to reach alone and she doubts if Krieger would give her another lift. His face was bright red and this made Sanne think about how she looked making her blush to. Standing around in white panties and a gym shirt wasn't a good thing. "Once I'm on Lyoko it won't matter what I'm wearing." Sanne starts to run for the woods when a spider leaps out of the window and lands in front of her. She kicks at it but it is too agile and dodges the kick.
"Leave her alone!" Krieger runs over and jumps on top of the spider. The weight is too much for the spider and its legs collapse. "Sanne get to the Factory I'll deal with these guys.
"But, if, it is too dangerous."
"This is a wolf spider, the venom isn't dangerous to humans so even if it does bite me I'll handle it."
"They aren't dangerous when they're small what if it bites you and it puts in a freaking gallon of poison in you?"
"Just run for the Factory, if I can get away I will. But you need to go and call the others using the Super Computer." Krieger gets off the spider and finds it can't stand back up as the legs were broken from trying to hold up to much weight. "Now!" Several more spiders crawl out of the window that Sanne and Krieger had escaped through. Sanne turns and runs hoping Krieger will be ok. He was a friend, as were the others, who might be in just as bad a situation.
"Ark, Ark, please open the door." Mira is outside the dorm room of Ark and Krieger. She knew Ark was mad at her for what she said and she wanted to apologize but he refused to open his door. "Ark please, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it I don't know why I did I just, I'm sorry." She puts a hand on the doorknob and turns it.
"Stay out!" Ark saw Mira was opening the door. "What you said was wrong, I know you and my sister don't get along but you can't be going around saying things like that to her or me or the others. We know we messed up when we let Xana out!" Mira continues to open the door ignoring Ark's orders not to.
"I know that's why I want to apologize to you face to face." Mira closes the door behind her. "And your sister when it's safe for me to get near her." Ark has his back turned on Mira. What she said, about releasing Xana, he was angry at her to.
"What makes you think it's safe to get near me?" Ark turns around.
"Aaaa!" Mira sees that Ark had a strange wound on his arm. The wound seemed to allow something to go into Ark's body. The front of his shirt was ripped open and she sees a strange looking mark on his chest. "Ark, what, what happened to you?" Mira backs away into the door. The mark on his chest pulses and gets larger.
"Answer me, what makes you think it's safe to get near me?" Ark lunges at Mira attacking her with his fists. She tries to fight him off when she sees the mark on his chest pulse again and reveal itself as the Eye of Xana.
"Stop it!" She pushes Ark off of her. "You're possessed by Xana, fight it, fight him!" Ark grabs a book and throws it at Mira. She puts her arms up and blocks the book. She then reaches for the door handle and finds the door is locked. "No, no, Ark, stop it!" Ark attacks her with such force they break through the door into the hallway.
Sanne gets to the Factory and calls Skitz. "Yes, giant spiders, get here now, I can't get a hold of Mira or Ark."
"Ok, I'm coming." Skitz and Sanne hang up. Skitz turns to Barack. "Um, sorry, I have to go. I'll give you my half now."
"Don't worry about it." Barack and Skitz are at a fast food place. "Can I come with you?" Skitz shakes her head. "What is it?"
"I can't tell you, sorry." Skitz gets up and leaves the fast food place.
"Mysterious, good looking, I really should ask her out on a real date." Barack watches Skitz leave and sees her run once she gets out.
Sanne calls Mira and Ark again and Mira finally answers. "Where have you been? I called you three times already."
"Xana, he, he got Ark."
"What?" Sanne interprets "Xana got Ark" as in killed. "No, but, no."
"I don't know how but he possessed Ark." Sanne breaths a sigh of relief.
"Just get to the Factory."
"But what about Ark? He had this really nasty wound on his arm then he attacked me!" Mira had used a woman's best move against a guy on Ark to get away but knew he would be after her again when he recovered.
"A wound? Like a bite mark?"
"I, I guess, it could be."
"I have to let you go, bye." Sanne hangs up on Mira and calls Krieger when she remembers he didn't have his phone on him. "No, if he, if a spider bites him he'll be possessed." Sanne debates whether to go and get Krieger or wait for Skitz and Mira. She decides not to leave the Factory since she was still missing her pants and was only in her gym shirt and panties. It would be to embarrassing if someone saw her that wasn't one of the group.
"Ow, man that hurt." Krieger pulls his arm away from a spider after being bit. "It burns, gah, man, what the." Krieger sees something move up his arm under his skin. "Aaaa!" He falls to the ground and feels something explode inside of him. "Sanne, get Sanne to Lyoko, Schipizoa." Krieger stands up and walks into the woods. The spiders scatter looking for the remaining Lyoko Warriors.
Sanne hears the alarm go off and looks through the camera. Skitz and Mira have made it to the Factory and appear to be fighting. "Can't those two let it rest for even one moment?" They get in the elevator and take it down to the Control Room. "Guys we have to hurry I think Ark and Krieger have already been possessed."
"Whoa, you're hair is naturally pink?" Sanne gives a weird look at Mira then looks down. A pink outline can be seen through her underwear. "Shut up, I lost my pants getting away from the spiders."
"What spiders?" Neither Skitz nor Mira saw any spiders.
"The ones that bit Ark and by now got Krieger." Before Sanne sets up the auto transfer the alarm goes off. Sanne looks through the security cameras and sees Krieger. "He made it, wait, I'll send you guys then I'll send myself." The elevator goes up then back down to the Control Room. Sanne sits down in her computer chair to keep Ulrich from seeing anything more then what he already had.
"Krieger!" Skitz goes over to him. His arm is bleeding and a bright green ooze drips from the wound. "That looks bad Krieger."
"It is, we, we need to get Sanne to Lyoko so she can deactivate the Tower." Krieger struggles to remain standing as the poison courses through his veins.
"Ok, guys, go down to the Scanners and I'll send you." Skitz and Mira help Krieger back into the elevator. It moves down to the Scanner Room and the two girls try to help Krieger into the middle Scanner. As they get to the middle Scanner Krieger gets a new strength and pushes them away.
"Krieger what are you doing?"
"Sanne will go to Lyoko alone!" Krieger lunges and attacks Skitz.
"Stop it, get off of her!" Mira tries to help get Krieger off of Skitz but Krieger is to strong. Sanne sees what is going on through the security cameras. She puts the headset on.
"Mira, just, get in the Scanner I can't go there alone!" Mira listens to Sanne and gets in a Scanner. Sanne sends Mira to Lyoko. She then sends the Overbike and Overboard then prepares the auto transfer for her and Skitz. She takes the ladder down and does a running kick at Krieger. He falls backwards into the middle Scanner. "Oh crap not what I wanted." The doors close on two Scanners. "I was too late." She had taken to long to get in the Scanners. She leans down next to Skitz. "Are you ok?" Skitz has some bruises forming and a black eye but appeared to be ok.
"Ouch." Skitz stands up and rubs her forehead. "How, where is he?" Skitz looks around. "And get yourself some pants." Sanne pushes Skitz lightly.
"He's on Lyoko, I think. I was going to get you to Lyoko but he went in the Scanner instead. I have no idea what happened to him."
"Ok, well, ouch." Skitz stands up and rubs her shoulder. "Man that hurts."
"I'll go back up and start the transfer again. I, I don't know what to do with you since Krieger took your place."
"I can send you. Just get in a Scanner and I'll transfer you." Sanne nods and gets in the Scanner on the right as Skitz takes the elevator up. Soon the doors close and Sanne lands on Lyoko to a disturbing sight.
"Help me!" Mira was fighting with a possessed deformed Krieger. The Super Computer had become confused when Krieger was transferred to Lyoko. He had his Knight like armor but it was in the colors of Skitz's outfit. He had no weapons, either his or Skitz's, but didn't need them. His possession by Xana through the spider bite wasn't like a true possession like the old days but his fighting skill was more then enough to handle both Mira and Sanne at the same time in hand to hand combat. But Sanne on Lyoko wasn't about close combat.
"I'm sorry Krieger." Sanne fires an energy beam and hits Krieger but he isn't destroyed. He turns towards Sanne but doesn't attack her. "Chicken to fight me?"
"No, can't destroy you, must remain on Lyoko for Schipizoa." Krieger turns back to Mira only to be attacked by Mira who took the chance to get her Kodachis out. She strikes Krieger and is able to deal enough damage to send Krieger back.
"That might not have been the best thing." Sanne looks up. "Skitz, Krieger is back on Earth so be careful!"
"I have more then Krieger to worry about." Skitz had heard the alarm go off and looks through the security cameras to see her brother climbing down the rope upside down like a spider down a thread of spider silk. "Please, hurry, I can't fight both of them." Skitz takes the headset off and starts to run to the elevator when Krieger jumps from the ladder. Skitz instinctively kicks out at Krieger and gets him in the face. She runs over to the elevator and pushes the button to close the doors. She feels the elevator shake when Krieger throws himself at the doors. Skitz thinks she is safe when she hears something land on top of the elevator. She sees the grate get ripped off and Ark sticks his head in. "Ark, I'm your sister, you can't do this." Ark smiles and a green ooze drips out of his mouth. When it hits the floor it burns through. "Ark, please, stop this." Skitz hits the button for the elevator to move up. Ark jumps down into the elevator.
"Sanne is on Lyoko our mission is over." Ark starts to make strange noises and his head pulls back as something crawls out of his stomach and through his mouth. Dozens of spiders about six centimeters long crawl out as the elevator stops and the door opens. Skitz runs out of the elevator as the spiders start to crawl after her.
On Lyoko Mira was having fun on the Overboard as Sanne controlled the Overbike. "Sanne, Ark told me the Overbike can fly why don't you just fly instead of following the paths?"
"I don't know how to make it fly that's why. What were you and Skitz fighting about when you got here?"
"Um, you know, the usual." Mira tried to apologize to Skitz for what she said but Skitz was having none of it. "So, why really were you missing your pants? Did you finally admit to Krieger…" Sanne fires an energy beam at Mira to shut her up. "I was kidding I believe you about the whole getting caught on something as you climbed out a window." Sanne stares as Mira laughs. "If you don't do a return we should probably go to the dorm room and get you some pants so you don't have to go back like that."
"I was already thinking about that and we'll probably have to do a return. Those spiders, if they got Krieger and Ark they might get someone else and hurt them." Sanne revs the engine of the Overbike and goes as fast as she can as Mira tries to keep up on the Overboard.
Skitz is running through the sewers with dozens of spiders following after her. On her skateboard she is able to move a lot faster then the spiders but when she gets to the end of the passage and climbs out of the sewer she finds an old threat waiting for her.
"They left the host to early. I on the other hand knew to wait." Krieger was still possessed by the spiders and around him were some giant spiders. Krieger takes a step towards Skitz. His skin was deathly white, his eyes were pure black, and a vein pops out of his head and shows his blood is running black. He takes another step towards Skitz. "Get her, make her one of us." Several of the large spiders jump at Skitz who tries to fight them off but there are too many. One bites her on the leg and soon she is possessed by the spiders. They head back to the Factory ready to follow Xana's orders.
Back on Lyoko Mira and Sanne see the activated Tower and the monsters guarding it. "Sanne all we need to do is get you in the Tower. If I distract them maybe you can drive by them and get in."
"I don't think Xana will make it that easy." Sanne and Mira drive towards the Tower when Mira devirtualizes! "Damn they must have gotten to the control panel." Sanne was alone on Lyoko like Xana wanted.
On Earth in the Factory Mira is cornered in the Scanner Room by Skitz and Krieger. "Guys, you don't want to do this, you're my friend."
"Friend, no, enemy. Xana's enemy, Xana gave us power, gave us orders to keep this power we must stop you." The two attack Mira hitting her, biting her, making sure she wouldn't be able to get back to the control panel to send herself to Lyoko.
On Lyoko Sanne fires energy beams and Scattershots but the monsters dodge and fire lasers of their own. When the Overbike is hit Sanne falls to the ground and almost falls over the edge. She climbs up and finds herself surrounded by Tarantulas and Assassins. They split up and the Schipizoa flies towards Sanne. "Stop right there or I'll kill myself." Sanne steps backwards to the edge. "I'd rather die then be your host Xana."
"Try it." Sanne turns around and sees Dante floating behind her. She tries to fire an energy beam at him but he strikes her before she can. Dante grabs Sanne by the arms. "Mine, I do not need the Schipzoa to posses you." Xana leans down to kiss Sanne to transfer himself into Sanne. Sanne struggles against him and keeps him from kissing her. "Very well." Xana throws Sanne in front of the Schipizoa. "Take her, posses her, make her mine." The Schipizoa wraps its arms around Sanne and tries to begin the process when Sanne breaks the hold! She fires a massive beam of energy hitting the Schipizoa. It retreats as Sanne fires more massive beams of energy at the monsters. She turns around and sees Xana floating over Digital Sea.
"Xana, you will never have this." Pink wings come out of her back and she takes off into the air. "I will get Dante from you and you will lose!" Sanne sends a bolt of energy at Xana.
"That's the power I want!" Xana flies up to Sanne and attacks her. Sanne and Xana fight in the air. "My Angel, you will be mine!" Xana tries to shove a fist into the chest of Sanne but her power blocks the punch.
"I will never be yours." Sanne sends a large arc of energy out at Xana and blasts him. He falls to the ground below.
"I will have that power, you will be mine, later." Xana breaks apart and escapes to Sector 5. Sanne flies towards the Tower destroying the remaining monsters before entering the Tower.
"Stop it…" Mira is bleeding badly as she starts to black out. Krieger and Skitz keep attacking her as the spiders control them.
"Tower deactivated." The screens fall around Sanne. "I have to do a return." She launches a return and the white bubble comes out reversing time.
Sanne and Krieger are back in the gym about ten minutes into training. "Krieger, I, I'm sorry. We have to stop." Sanne had taken a break from the Super Computer to train but believes it was a mistake now.
"Wait Sanne, I swear, I, I didn't look." Krieger had but only before he didn't know she had lost her pants. He had seen something but felt so bad for it he wanted to forget it.
"It's not about that Krieger. It, it was close. I don't even remember how I got out of Xana's grasp." When Sanne's powers had come out her mind went blank. None of her friends had seen her transform just like last time. "If, I have to keep working on the Super Computer I have to find a way to stop Xana."
"Ok Sanne, be careful." Sanne grabs her bag and leaves the gym leaving Krieger behind. "Alone again, why am I always on the outside, looking in?" Krieger goes over to the exercise room and starts on the exercise bike to try and race away from his feelings.
A/N Ok, a lot of violence, a funny/embarrassing moment for our heroine, and a Lyoko Warrior showing off powers they don't even know they have. Once again though when Sanne changes when all is lost she does not remember and her friends were not there to see it. When will Sanne and the others find out about the powers Xana wants? Keep reading to find out. Although, next episode I have a huge twist coming, referenced at the end of this episode.
