Krieger is walking from the gym back to the dorm building. He had just gotten done with working out, alone, since Sanne was busy with the Super Computer. He gets to his dorm room and changes. "Ark must be busy with Mira." He leaves the room and goes back outside. "And Skitz is probably somewhere with Barack." Krieger sighs. "This sucks, I'm always alone when Xana isn't attacking." Krieger walks towards the woods and after a few meters sits down with his back to a tree. "Well, I guess its better to be alone then to be with the others when Xana attacks." He closes his eyes and thinks about a life without Xana. Maybe, maybe Sanne would go out with him, maybe not. Maybe she would still see him as "just Krieger" and nothing else. Ark would probably still be with Mira or some other girl while Skitz would probably be with Barack. Maybe without Xana he would have found something else to do with his time. He hears foot steps and opens his eyes to see a girl from a higher grade walking towards him. He had talked to her before but always tried to get away when she started flirting with him. "Hi Sora."
"Hi Krieger." Sora continues walking over to him then stops. She is wearing a long skirt that goes down to a little past her knees. She wears a tight t shirt that shows her belly button and has three rings in both ears. She is hard to miss with bright red hair and emerald green eyes. Her shoes crunch over leaves and sticks as she turns around and looks around. "Is it ok if I sit down next to you?" Krieger motions to the ground next to him. She sits down. "So what's going on with Krieger today?"
"Nothing. Just got done with working out and figured I'd take a walk." Krieger looks over at Sora.
"Sitting under a tree seems a funny way to walk." She looks back at him and smiles.
"I, well, I decided not to take a walk. What about you? What are you doing out here?"
"I was looking for you." Sora smiles at Krieger. "I won some tickets to a Jet Boy Blue concert and was looking for someone to go with."
"Well, I, uh…" Krieger rubs the back of his neck nervously.
"I have enough so Sanne can come to. I didn't think she'd let her boyfriend go off with another girl to a concert."
"She's not my girlfriend she's just a friend." This surprises and doesn't surprise Sora. She, like most of Kadic Academy figured they were dating but she felt something when she talked to Krieger. She wasn't sure what it was then but knows now.
"Well, then maybe you could come with me as a date. My sister is going with her boyfriend…" Sora waits for an answer.
"Well, I, we're not allowed to leave the campus on weekdays and, um, this is kind of sudden."
"The concerts on Saturday and how is this sudden? We've talked before, we've flirted with each other, and I felt something there. Why I'm asking you now." Sora smiles at Krieger. "It will give you something to do besides working out and going for walks."
"I, well, I guess..." No, what about Sanne? She doesn't like me! If Sora does then maybe I should go out with her. It's just a concert. But what if Sanne gets mad? Why would she you're just friends. But Skitz said she did like me as more. Last time you tried to kiss her she nearly took your head off and she stopped talking to you. Krieger continues to debate what to do when Sora leans forward and kisses him lightly on the lips. Whoa. "Ok, Jet Boy Blue concert, awesome.
"I'm so glad you said yes. If you want I could stay here and keep you company." Sora's smile means more to Krieger now after the kiss. It wasn't much, barely a brushing of lips but it decided for Krieger what he was going to do.
"I, sure, ok. I'd like you to stay here and if you want maybe on Friday we could go do something, like, see a movie."
"Ok. Wow, you really have some muscles." Sora squeezes Krieger's right arm. "Maybe next time I could work out with you?"
"Alright, I'd like that."
"I'd like to spend more time with you to. You're almost always with your friends but today during lunch you were all alone. Did something happen between you and your friends?" Sora had seen Krieger alone then and now and took her chance. She was excited it went her way. She had a bit of a crush on Krieger but assumed he was with Sanne. When they did talk and she'd send some messages out Krieger would send some back but then find an excuse to leave. But today he seemed so alone she decided to ask him out.
"No, Mira and Ark were working on something and Skitz was showing Barack something and Sanne was working on the…" Krieger stops before he says the last two words. "On the top secret project she won't even let her friends know about." Krieger smiles at Sora who continues to smile at him.
"I like that."
"What?" Krieger wasn't sure what Sora meant.
"When you smile. You look better when you're smiling." Sora and Krieger continue to talk for awhile as Xana plans his next attack. He was thinking of just attacking physically but watching Krieger with a student he didn't recognize gives him a new idea.
"Sanne?" Krieger calls Sanne. "Um, could you come to my room? I really need to talk to you."
"I'm busy can't you do it over the phone?"
"No, I, I can't. Just please come over here."
"Alright give me a minute to save things then get out of here." Sanne closes some programs she was looking at trying to create a new one from them. She gets on the elevator, takes it up, and leaves the Factory.
A few minutes later Sanne knocks on the door to Krieger's and Ark's dorm room and the door opens. "Xa…" Xana grabs Sanne and pulls her into the room.
"I have a surprise for you." Xana floats in the air with an arm wrapped around Sanne's waist and the other over her mouth to keep her from yelling. He floats through the wall with her like a ghost and carries her out towards the woods. Sanne struggles but Xana is to strong. When they get to the woods Xana shows Sanne what was going on. Krieger and Sora are holding hands, talking, and the conversation tells Sanne what Xana wants her to know. "If you joined me you would have the power to get back at him. Too get revenge for going with another girl when he is yours." Xana takes his hand off of Sanne's mouth.
"Why would that upset me? Maybe he'll stop wasting his time waiting for me to come around." The way Sanne says the last part confuses Xana.
"But, you two, I, did I miss something?" Xana, like most of Kadic Academy, had connected Krieger and Sanne as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Obviously." Sanne bites Xana on the arm and he drops her several meters to the ground below. The noise gets Krieger's attention and he hears a beeping noise.
"Super Scan, Sanne's coming this way." He feels guilty for what he had been doing with Sora even if it was only holding hands and talking. Stop it, Sanne doesn't like you, if she sees you two she'll probably say good job to Sora you got him out of my hair. "Sora, um," Krieger gets his phone out as if to see what the time was. "I have to go, I guess, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"You sure will." Sora kisses Krieger on the lips lightly then gets up. Krieger gets up and walks towards where he hears the beeping noise.
"Sanne?" He says this quietly not wanting Sora to hear him. He turns his head and sees she is walking back to Kadic Academy. "Sanne?" He says it a little louder this time as he gets closer to the beeping noise. "Sanne!" He sees her lying on the ground unconscious.
"And I, the one and only Lord of Lyoko, Xana." Krieger looks up and sees Xana. "Now tell me what is it that I missed?" Krieger is confused and doesn't answer Xana's question. Instead he goes over to Sanne to check on her.
"Sanne, wake up, come on Sanne." He sees she is still breathing. "Xana what did you do to her?"
"I wanted her to see you cheating on her but she does not seem to care." Xana is still confused as to what was going on. With Dante's memories and his limited watching he could have sworn these two teens were together.
"I can't cheat on her we're not dating." Krieger looks back at Xana. "What did you do to her? Why won't she wake up?"
"I merely dropped her after she bit me. I may have been a few meters higher when I did though." Xana laughs at Krieger's pained look. "What is this? I do not understand how you can care so much for someone, how much she cares for you, if you are not like your parents."
"We aren't our parents!" Krieger looks around and sees a stick. He picks it up and throws it at Xana. "We're friends so of course we care for each other. But that's something you wouldn't understand."
"Friends, yes, I would not understand something that makes no sense to begin with." Xana charges his hands. "If you are a good friend of Sanne you would gladly take the pain for her." Xana fires a bolt of energy at Sanne and Krieger jumps in front of it taking the hit. "Yes, but what about this one?" Xana fires another bolt of energy at Sanne and Krieger can not get in front of it this time. When the bolt of energy hits Sanne the pain wakes her up.
"Ouch, what the heck was that?" She reaches to her stomach and pulls back when the touch causes more pain. She has a burn across her stomach through her shirt. She looks around and sees Xana and Krieger. "Krieger, distract him, I need to get to the Factory."
"Ok, be careful Sanne." Sorry, no, I'm not. Xana said she didn't care, she doesn't like me like that. Sora likes me Sanne doesn't be happy with Sora. But I don't like her like I like Sanne, yet. I might if I give her a chance. "Xana you have to pick on a little girl? How weak is that?"
"Weak? Is this weak?" Xana blasts the ground around Krieger and lifts the chunk of ground into the air.
"Meh, it's a start." Krieger has to keep Xana's attention while Sanne gets away. "But I bet the old Xana could have done better. Although back then you were in a girl's body. How sad is that?"
"Shut up Krieger!" The ground under Krieger explodes and he falls to the ground. Krieger flips backwards and lands on his feet.
"Having trouble fighting someone who isn't as weak as Sanne?"
"Die!" Xana waves a hand and blasts the ground in front of Krieger knocking him backwards. He sticks his hands out and does another flip to land on his feet.
"I won't go that easily." Krieger and Xana continue to fight as Sanne gets to the Factory and uses the Super Computer to call the others.
Mira and Ark are able to get to the Factory easily but Skitz has to end her first date with Barack to get to the Factory. "I'm so sorry Barack, um, I've had a good time, the movie was good."
"Where are you going?"
"I can't tell you, I'm sorry. Um, maybe you can send my food back so you don't have to pay for it." Skitz gets out of her chair.
"Wait, just tell me where you're going, please?" Barack gets out of his chair and takes Skitz's hand in his. "What could be so big a deal that you can't wait?"
"I'm sorry you wouldn't understand."
"Maybe I would if you told me." Barack looks in Skitz's eyes. "But If you must go at least leave me a little something."
"What? Um, I guess I could." Skitz reaches into her pocket to pay for the meal she wasn't going to be eating when Barack grabs her arm.
"No, I was thinking more like this." Barack kisses her on the lips. Barack smiles at Skitz as she blushes. "Thanks for leaving me with a good memory."
"Well, maybe tomorrow, I don't know, I'm sorry." Skitz leaves the restaurant.
"What could be so important she couldn't stay? Oh well, I'll get a box and take some of this food back. Although I'll have to be able to sneak onto campus with it. Stupid rules." Since it was Thursday the students weren't allowed to be off campus but the students found ways to get around it.
"Xana I'm sorry but I must leave your company." Krieger makes a remark before running for the sewer entrance in the woods.
"No, you won't get away that easily." Xana was charging his hands making an energy orb. The energy orb gets bigger and bigger and he adds more energy to it. Krieger continues to run hoping he'd be fast enough when Xana throws the energy orb at Krieger. Krieger can feel the heat coming off the energy orb before it hits him. Krieger drops to the ground and the energy orb flies overhead before hitting the ground and exploding. Krieger is hit with the explosion.
"Aaaa!" His skin burns as energy whips around him burning him wherever the energy touches. Xana floats down to an injured Krieger.
"Heh heh heh, Krieger, not so big now are we." Xana grabs Krieger by the arm and burns him some more. "I think Sanne would like to see her friend now." Xana and Krieger break into a black mist and move to a light post and go to the Factory as soon as possible.
"Hey Skitz what's with the get up?" Skitz was wearing a different outfit then usual.
"I was on a date when you called me."
"Oh, sorry. Don't feel to bad Krieger was on a date to."
"What? You and Krieger finally went on a date?" Skitz is stunned as she stands next to Sanne. "And you wore that dirty old thing?"
"No, he was with some other girl, I know who she is I just can't think of her name. And this was clean until Xana dropped me in the woods."
"Wait, but, Krieger, he wouldn't." Skitz tries to make sense of what she just heard when a black mist comes out of the Super Computer and turns into Xana and Krieger. Xana throws Krieger in front of the two girls.
"Now that he has been beaten who is next?" Xana steps over Krieger and walks towards Skitz. "No warriors on Lyoko will make it that much easier to take Sanne as my true host."
"I don't think so." Krieger gets up and jumps on Xana's back. "You messed up digital dujac, whatever happens when you turn into a black mist healed me." Krieger tries to jerk Xana's head to break his neck but Xana's head just keeps turning until it is completely backwards.
"Dujac? You would call me a dujac?" Xana's body sparks and morphs so it is facing the same way as his head.
"Yeah well I didn't think you'd know what it meant." Krieger kicks at Xana knocking him backwards into Skitz who lifts her knee trying to hit him from behind. Xana instead uses his energy to knock Skitz away. A beeping sound alerts everyone in the room that Ark and Mira have arrived.
"Go directly to the Scanner Room I'll send you!" Sanne used the Super Computer to call the two again. They take the elevator down and Sanne sends them.
"No bother I can still take these two out of the equation." Xana blasts Skitz with a massive bolt of energy knocking her backwards into the wall behind her. He turns around to hit Krieger and sees Krieger getting into the elevator. "You will leave your friend here to die? How sad your friendship only goes as far as Sanne." Xana laughs and turns back around to kill Skitz and finds she isn't there! He looks around and sees Sanne dropping Skitz down the ladder to the Scanner Room below. Sanne was strong enough from working out and training with Krieger to drag the dead weight of the injured Skitz to the hole and drop her down. Something she wouldn't have been able to do at the beginning of the war with Xana. "No, come to me my little butterfly." Sanne starts down the ladder as Krieger takes the elevator down after his distraction.
"Sanne!" When the elevator doors open Krieger sees Sanne in the arms of Xana trying to escape. He runs over but runs into an energy field.
"I can't exchange myself into you on Earth. I can't possess you and make you my new host while on Earth but I can do this." Xana kisses Sanne, forces his tongue into her mouth, and Sanne goes limp. When Xana breaks the kiss he drops Sanne to the floor. "I can't wait to do that on Lyoko."
"You bastard leave her alone!"
"Wish you were me?" Xana laughs and drops his shield. "Get her into the Scanners so I can possess her on Lyoko." Xana breaks apart into a black mist and goes back into the Super Computer. Krieger has to get Skitz in the right Scanner and Sanne in the middle Scanner. He steps in the last Scanner and waits. Sanne had added a minute knowing it would take longer to get Skitz into a Scanner then the normal countdown allowed. When the doors finally close Krieger and the others land on Lyoko.
"About time you guys got here what was going on?" Ark is on his disc while Mira is on the Overboard.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Skitz yells at Mira.
"I rode this thing last time since you weren't able to get to Lyoko. If you think I'm going to give it up guess again." Mira does a flip on the Overboard.
"Get down from there or I'll make you get down!" Skitz gets her clubs out.
"Get on the Overwing ok Skitz? Next time you can ride the Overboard." Sanne's words calm Skitz down and Skitz follows Sanne's orders. Sanne gets on the Overbike behind Krieger.
"Where to Sanne?" Krieger wants to ask Sanne what she heard, what she saw, what she thought and felt but knows he would only be asking for trouble, so he thinks.
"North, not too far. But we have to watch out for Xana and the Schipizoa." Sanne wipes an arm across her mouth. She wanted to bite Xana's tongue off but was frozen by his powers and couldn't. "Can I borrow your mouthwash when we get back?"
"Sure, I'll even buy a new tube of toothpaste since you'll probably go through whatever you have left." Krieger relaxes a little, Sanne wasn't yelling at him as he revs the engines of the Overbike and takes off for the activated Tower.
As the group heads for the activated Tower Xana watches. "She will be mine. If I get the power I will be able to transfer myself into her while on Earth where she and her friends have no powers." Xana follows the group waiting for Sanne to get off the Overbike to attack and try to kiss her on Lyoko and make her his new host.
"The Schipizoa, Sanne be careful Xana is probably close." Krieger looks around for Xana but doesn't see him.
"I'm more worried about the Assassins and the Schipizoa." Sanne looks back at Mira who is on the Overboard. "Mira use your swords to cut the tentacles of the Schipizoa."
"Gotcha." Mira gets her Kodachis out. "Just keep the Assassins off of me."
"That we can do." Ark on his disc lays flat on it to make it harder for the three Assassins to hit him. "Sis take the one on the right."
"Don't tell me how to protect that selfish little, little, dujac." Skitz had no idea what the word meant but Krieger had called Xana that. But Mira knew what it meant and was really offended.
"Don't call me that! I am nothing like a dujac! You stupid bitch where did you even hear that word!" Mira flies over to Skitz. "Where did you hear that!" She pushes Skitz.
"Stop it you two we need to take care of these Assassins and the Schipizoa." Krieger and Sanne dodge lasers on the Overbike while Ark tries to get close to the Assassins.
"Do you know what that word means? No, so of course you tell me to stop it!"
"I do know what it means and you can yell at Skitz later." Krieger gets his sword and shield out. "Sanne since those two are too stupid to deal with this you need to control the Overbike while I help Ark."
"Ok." Sanne takes her hands off of Krieger's shoulders so he can jump off. When Krieger jumps off Sanne moves up and takes control of the Overbike.
"Hey, over here, yeah, fire at me." Krieger uses his shield to block lasers while waving his sword to get the attention of the Assassins.
"Thanks Krieger." Ark dives at the Assassins and uses his tail wrapping it around the leg of an Assassin. He drags the Assassin away and flies up into the air with it. The Assassin fires lasers at him but the disc protects Ark.
"Krieger duck!" Krieger does holding his shield over his head when Sanne fires a Scattershot hitting an Assassin in the Eye destroying it.
"Sanne!" Sanne turns around on the Overbike and sees the Schipizoa. It reaches out for her and she dodges the tentacles. Krieger gets up and runs at the Schipizoa when he is hit by a laser. The last Assassin fires more lasers at Krieger who uses his shield and sword to block lasers.
"Get away from her!" Skitz flies on the Overwing at the Schipizoa when a bolt of energy hits her. Xana flies down from above and sends another bolt of energy at Sanne and hits the Overbike destroying it.
"Leave her alone!" Krieger backs away from the Assassin while using his shield to block lasers but knows he won't be able to stop Xana or the Schipizoa.
"I will do whatever I want on Lyoko. This is my world, I am the Lord of Lyoko, I shall destroy what I want." There is an explosion and Xana turns to it.
"Now what are you going to do?" Mira had destroyed the last Assassin.
"Kiss Sanne and make her my new host or Possess her through the Schipizoa and still make her my host." Xana blasts Mira with an energy bolt then hits Krieger with one.
"You'll never have me!" Sanne fires energy beam after energy beam at Xana and the Schipizoa but misses.
"I'll have you now!" Xana sends a ring of energy out and it wraps around Sanne's mouth. "Take her, posses her, make her mine." The Schipizoa wraps tentacles around Sanne and starts to send something into her when…
"No!" Ark has come back from dropping the Assassin off over the edge. He reaches out for Sanne when a spear comes out of his wrist. It flies out and hits the Schipizoa on the Eye. "How do I make that come out?" Ark wonders for a second longer when Xana hits him with an energy bolt.
"No matter I will have you." Xana turns to Sanne and sees she is free. "What, how?!" The Schipizoa shakes, the tentacles whip around hitting Sanne and knocking her towards the Tower. "What is wrong with my creation?" The Schipizoa's top starts to glow red then explodes. "They finally hit the Eye. I thought it was small enough to keep the Schipizoa safe." Xana looks around and sees Sanne is gone. "Damn that boy, I'll make him pay, one day he will beg for death for this!" Xana sends a bolt of energy at the Tower as it is deactivated. It does nothing but let's Xana get some frustration out. Sanne sends herself back to Earth.
"That was close." She steps out of the Scanner and sees Skitz and Mira fighting.
"You think I'd believe that? That you'd call me a dujac and not even know what it meant?" Mira pushes Skitz.
"I heard Krieger call Xana that so I figured it had to be bad. Since you're a selfish little, dare I say, dujac I figured I'd call you that!" Mira swings at Skitz who dodges it and trips Mira.
"Skitz stop saying that word." Krieger grabs Skitz by the arms. "If you don't know what it means you shouldn't use it."
"You used it."
"Because I know what it means and I know how bad it is to call someone that. Why I called Xana that."
"How could it be that bad? It's just a word."
"Lots of words are just words but would you call Barack the N word?"
"No, let me go." Krieger does. "Fine, I'm sorry I called Mira a dujac."
"Like you mean it." Mira walks away from Skitz and gets in the elevator. "Ark are you coming?"
"Yes." Ark walks over to the elevator. "One question, what does dujac mean?" Mira starts to explain as the doors close. Krieger decides to take the ladder up since Ark and Mira took the elevator.
"Wait right there Krieger." Krieger stops and turns to Skitz. "What do you think you're doing?"
"What do you mean? I'm going back to Kadic Academy."
"Sanne said you went on a date with some girl."
"It wasn't a date we just started talking. We do have a date tomorrow though."
"What? How, why would you? What about Sanne?"
"What about me?" Skitz turns to Sanne.
"Well, you know, you like Krieger and…" The stare from Sanne stops Skitz from continuing.
"I do, as a friend. I'm happy he found a girl to do stuff with."
"But your diary, it said, you know."
"Before I deleted it because you read it? No, you read the first few pages you didn't read the rest. If you had you would know, shut up and leave Krieger alone." Sanne turns to Krieger. "How long have you been seeing her?" Krieger looks at his Jcell.
"About an hour if you start by the first time we kissed." Krieger looks at Sanne for a reaction and she gives none. "Well, I'm sure Mira and Ark left by now we can take the elevator." Krieger walks over to the elevator doors and pushes the button for the elevator.
"But, Sanne, Krieger, this doesn't make sense." Skitz can't believe that not only would Krieger go on a date with someone not Sanne but that Sanne would have no problem with it. The elevator doors open and the three get on the elevator. "This can't be the real world none of it makes sense." The doors close and the three leave the Factory for Kadic Academy.
A/N Ooo, Krieger got a girlfriend, and it's not Sanne! Bet none of you saw that coming. Will this last? Will Sora, or Barack, become members in the future? And what does dujac mean? That one I can answer. Dujac doesn't mean anything outside my group of friends. We went to school with someone and well, he rubbed us the wrong way and so his last name became the same as any other bad word. "Wow, what dujac thought that up?" or "You're such a dujac."
