Sanne is in her room working on a program when the Super Scan starts to beep. "I'm so close I can feel it. If I can just create a Ghost it would really help with our fights on Earth." She goes to call Skitz when the Tower deactivates. "Weird." A few seconds later her phone rings and she sees it is her dad's number. "Hi dad what's up?"
"Listen here young lady Jim just called and told me that you and Krieger have been training in martial arts!"
"What? Dad, I…"
"No excuses young lady I told you it is too dangerous. I've talked to your mother and we're discussing whether or not to pull you out of Kadic Academy."
"Dad you can't! You said I could when you were here!"
"I can change my mind and I can send you home and I just might do it to prove it! I told you no martial arts! What if you got kicked in the head and it damaged your brain?!"
"Dad, Krieger's never hurt me."
"I'm sure and if he hasn't he will. I only have a few simple rules and you broke one of the biggest ones!"
"Dad I, I'm not a little girl! You, dad you even said I could, that it was ok when you were out here!"
"Oh you're a woman are you? We'll see how big you are when you're back here. I never should have agreed to send you there. Kadic Academy is nothing compared to the tutors I hired."
"Dad I like it here I'm with my friends!"
"I'm sure Krieger is just that! I know how Yumi and Ulrich use to be. They'd be training then the next moment on the mat…"
"Dad I don't like Krieger like that!"
"Don't yell at me Sanne! You are in trouble and if I don't pull you out I'll make sure to cut off your allowance until vacation!"
"Go ahead I spent so little of what you sent me that I don't need anymore of your money!"
"Oh so you're going to be paying for Kadic Academy are you? Or for new clothes? Hair cuts? Sanne pack your bags I don't care what your mother says you're coming home as soon as I get the Jjet out there!" Jeremie hangs up on Sanne.
"Dad, no, you don't understand…" Sanne hears the dial tone. "Jim, why would he call my dad and tell him about the training? Mom and dad said it was ok last time they were out here." Sanne worries about what to do. She could do a return and tell Jim not to tell her dad but there was two problems with that. One Jim would wonder how Sanne knew he was going to call and tell Jeremie and two it would make Xana stronger. "What am I going to do? They need me here. Maybe, my dad, something has to be wrong. I'm allowed to train they gave me permission." Sanne thinks about it for awhile when Skitz comes into the room crying. "Skitz what's wrong? Did you and Barack have a fight?"
"No, my, my Mom called." Skitz tries to tell Sanne through the sobs. "Odd, he, he was sky diving and, the parachute, it didn't open." Skitz continues to cry as Sanne gets up and hugs her.
"I, I'm so sorry." Sanne's problem pales in comparison to this. "I, does Ark know?"
"Mom, mom said, she called him." Skitz continues to cry. Sanne holds onto Skitz who cries when her phone rings. Sanne sees it is Krieger.
"Krieger, did, did Ark tell you?"
"Tell me what psycho? I can't believe you'd call me and say that then hang up on me!"
"Krieger I…" Krieger cuts her off.
"You said we were just friends but then you call me saying how you can't believe I'm going out with Sora and how you feel betrayed and how I should have understood your feelings when you told me you had none for me! You psycho what is wrong with you? You know don't try to explain it to me after all I'm 'Just Krieger' right?" Krieger hangs up on Sanne.
"But, I, I never called him." Sanne hangs her phone up and one word comes to her head. "Xana."
"What?" Skitz looks at Sanne with red eyes and tears.
"Xana, he, that Tower. Skitz call your mom and ask how Odd's doing."
"What? But, she just said he, he didn't make it." Skitz starts to cry again.
"Ok I'll call." Sanne uses her phone to call Sandra. "Hi, Sandra, is Odd there?"
"No he's at work, Sanne if, what's that noise?"
"Never mind, thanks." Sanne and Sandra hang up. "Skitz, you're dad's fine. He's at work. Xana called you just like he called Krieger and he called me." Sanne smiles at Skitz. "Don't you get it? His little plan failed already." Sanne wasn't being taken out of Kadic Academy, Odd wasn't dead, but Krieger was probably still mad at her. "Skitz lie down while I go talk to Krieger ok?"
"Oh, ok, are you sure? It sounded just like my mom."
"I'm sure, I'll be right back ok?" Skitz nods then Sanne leaves.
Sanne goes to the gym where she knew Krieger would be. When she gets there she sees Krieger and Sora are sitting on a mat talking. Sanne walks over to them and they hear a noise. When they turn to see who it was and see Sanne the air gets thick with feelings. "What are you doing here?" Sora stands up. "Who do you think you are? Billion dollar Princess?"
"No, I, Krieger that wasn't me who called you." Sanne ignores Sora. "It was you know who, he did you know what and well, he called you, and me, and Skitz."
"What?" Sora and Krieger say this at the same time for different reasons.
"You know who called us but I figured it out because I never called you, I never said anything." Sanne hopes Krieger believes her. For Krieger this might be worse then Sanne actually calling mad about Sora. If she was mad about him being with Sora it meant she did like him as more then friends but she said it was Xana.
"I, I understand." Krieger stands up. "Sora, Ark has a stupid voice changing program. He, little twerp." Krieger laughs a little hoping Sora bought his excuse.
"But, why would he do that? Isn't he your friend?"
"I kind of made him mad. I said something about his band that's not going anywhere and he didn't like that."
"Oh, um, sorry I yelled at you Sanne."
"No problem Sora. So what did Ark say?" Sanne goes along with the story wondering what call Ark, and Mira, got.
"Stuff, mean stuff." Krieger goes to Sora and kisses her on the cheek. "Sora I have to go and find Ark and beat him up. Then I'll probably apologize for saying things about his band."
"Keyword probably right?" Krieger nods and Sora kisses him on the lips. "Don't let him hit you in that handsome face."
"He couldn't hit me if I had both hands tied behind my back."
"Mmmm, I might like to see you like that." Sora sticks her tongue out then goes towards the locker rooms. "Call me when you're done ok Krieger?"
"I will Sora." Krieger and Sanne leave the gym.
"Might want to wipe that lipstick off." Sanne chuckles as Krieger rubs the sleeve of his shirt across his mouth and finds nothing. "Didn't even notice she wasn't wearing make up did you?"
"I, uh, we were training, I wasn't paying attention to that." Krieger blushes and Sanne laughs.
"Yes I'm sure you were concentrating on training. Where did she get that get up anyways? Surprised they don't flop out when you flip her over your shoulder." Krieger looks away and Sanne rolls her eyes. "And people wonder why I don't want to do stuff like that." Sanne gets her phone out and calls Ark. "Ark, Xana called, what did he tell you?"
"What? I didn't get a call from Xana. Sanne are you on Jazz or something?"
"No, Xana, he activated a Tower and called me, Krieger, and your sister. He called as my dad saying he was pulling me out of school, called Krieger as me and yelled at him, and called Skitz as your mom. You didn't get a call?"
"Oh, ouch, um, I got to go." Ark hangs up and calls Mira but she won't answer. "I should have known it wasn't her, I, I shouldn't have yelled at her." Ark's call had been Mira saying that she was breaking up with Ark for some William guy. He called her back, much like Krieger had, and yelled at her and said some things he certainly didn't mean now.
Mira is walking through the woods mad at Ark wondering what was going on. She didn't even know a William yet he yelled at her for breaking up with him for William. "Stupid git, like I'd talk to him after that." She turns her phone off. This would be the worst thing she did that day. "What do I do now? Ark was the only one who wanted me in the group. If we break up will they still want me to go to Lyoko? I doubt it. They'll probably do whatever to blank my memories." Mira kicks a rock then follows it to kick it again. This distracts her from the noise of the ground moving behind her forming into a monster. She kicks the rock and follows it some more wondering what was going to happen when the monster attacks. "Aaaa!" She is hit hard and the wind is knocked out of her. She tries to get up but the monster attacks her again.
"Activated Tower." Skitz sits up from her bed as Sanne's Jtop beeps. "Sanne, have to call her and the others." Skitz gets her phone out and calls Sanne. "Sanne, activated Tower."
"Ok, I'm with Krieger so just call Ark and Mira." Sanne and Skitz hang up. "Activated Tower. I think Xana wanted to hurt us before launching his real attack. Good thing we figured it out first."
"Yeah, good thing." Krieger was thinking about breaking up with Sora. If the real Sanne hadn't stopped him he would have. He was trying to like Sora, she was a great person, she liked him. They were able to talk and hang out and train. Then there was the 'fun' they had. Sora was almost fifteen years old and was ready for much more then Krieger was. He was able to slow things down but had to admit he liked what they did. If only she had pink hair, was shorter, and was Sanne Belpois. Sanne calls Ark.
"Ok, could you guys call Mira? She won't answer a call from me right now."
"Ok Ark." They hang up and Sanne calls Mira but gets her voice mail. Sanne sends a text message of SOS XANA but gets no response. "I think Mira's the target."
"Oh, well, if we deactivate the Tower everything will be fine." The two hurry to the Factory.
"No, stop, please." Mira was trying to fight the monster but the monster was the Earth itself. If she tried to kick it the soil would wrap around her leg, pick her up, and throw her into a tree. "Aaaa!" Mira hears a bone snap as the monster slams an Earth fist into her upper leg. "I give up."
"Really? How weak are you girl? All I had to do was break you up from Ark Della Robbia and you are ready to die?" The monster laughs then attacks Mira. Soil fills her mouth and nose and soon Mira stands up. "How surprised they will be." Mira turns into soil then moves into the ground to move faster then a normal human to the Factory.
Sanne and Krieger get to the Factory and find an injured Mira at the end of the bridge. "Ouch, she's breathing but she doesn't look good." Krieger picks her up easily and puts her over her shoulder. "This should be fun." Krieger carefully jumps then slides down balancing Mira on his shoulder. He gets to the floor and runs over to the elevator where Sanne, not weighed down by Mira, was waiting. They take the elevator down to the Control Room.
"I'll send you two first while we wait for Ark and Skitz."
"Ok." Krieger carries Mira over to the elevator and takes it down to the Scanners. "Transfer Krieger, Transfer Mira, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Mira, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Desert Sector but Mira doesn't move.
"Uh, Sanne, she's, something's not right."
"I, there's an error." There was a red exclamation point on the screen. "Mira, answer me. I can't bring her back. Xana, this might have been his plan. If I can't bring her back or if she is hit and loses her life points she might not come back."
"So we have to treat her like Dante?"
"Except she doesn't seem to be moving. When the others get here have Ark put her on his disc and keep her away from the other monsters." Sanne waits and finally the alarm goes off. Ark and Skitz met in the sewer passage and got to the Factory together. "Krieger they're here I'll send them and the vehicles soon."
"Ok I'll be waiting." Krieger waits and soon all three land on Lyoko. "Ark, she's ok, I think. She was breathing when I put her in the Scanner." Krieger tries to calm Ark down but Ark was hysterical.
"Mira, Mira! Come on Mira, please, Mira!" Ark shakes her but she doesn't respond.
"Ark she was breathing before she's just, knocked out." Krieger pushes Ark away before he starts shaking Mira like he was an English Nanny and Mira was a crying baby. "Put her on your disc and control it while you take the Overwing."
"But, she better be ok." Ark does as Krieger says.
"Where do we go Sanne?"
"Due north. The Tower is pretty far so Xana might send monsters before we get there." The group takes off for the Tower as Xana watches.
"Heh heh, I already did." Xana's plan was brilliant, so he thinks. "Go, it will be too late. Finally my Angel will be mine." Xana watches and decides to make it harder for the group. One member down and now…
"Hornets!" Ark controls the disc and puts it behind him. "Sanne I think a Scattershot is needed."
"I know." Sanne concentrates and waits for the Hornets to get closer. When they do she fires a Scattershot and destroys two Hornets leaving one left.
"I got it." Skitz gets her clubs out to block the lasers as she flies at the Hornet. When she gets close it stops firing lasers and fires acid! "Aaaa!" S.S. is hit in the face and loses control of the Overboard. She crash lands onto the Desert Sector as the acid continues to burn her face. "Aaaa!" She rolls around on the ground.
"Skitz!" Ark loses his concentration and almost loses his disc with Mira on it. "No, have to stay calm." He gains his concentration and unwraps his tail as he flies at the Hornet that was hitting Skitz with lasers. He wraps his tail around the Hornet. "Ow, stop it, ow!" The Hornet fires lasers hitting his tail. Ark brings his tail up to him and looks the Hornet in the Eye. "Don't mess with my sister." He shoves two claws into the Eye destroying the Hornet. "Skitz, are you ok?"
"I don't want to know how I'm going to look on Earth." Skitz stands up and puts a hand on her face. "My face, my beautiful face."
"Beautiful? What fairy tale world do you live in?" Ark's joke gets a stare from Skitz. "But you will need a ride since the Overboard was destroyed."
"Annoying little twerp."
"Little? I'm taller and bigger then you." Ark waits for his sister to get on as they continue the sibling squabbling.
"Guy's, Tower, deactivate." Sanne gets the two to stop. "We shouldn't be that far now that he's attacked." They take off for the Tower. Mira's eyes open and she sees what is going on.
"Now Xana?" She sends a psychic message to Xana. No, not yet, wait until they are near the Tower. Mira's eyes close as she waits for the right moment to attack.
A few minutes later the group sees the activated Tower. "We're almost there." And there aren't any monsters. "Damn it." Krieger didn't say it out loud only thought it yet two Tarantulas appear in front of the Tower.
"Only two Tarantulas we can handle them and still protect Mira." Sanne starts to charge a Scattershot waiting for Krieger to drive the Overbike closer. When she fires eight beams come out and destroy a Tarantula but the other one dodges the remaining beams.
"To easy." Ark laughs boldly.
"You're right." Mira rises to her feet. "This will be fun." Mira attacks Ark! She gets her Kodachi's out and leaps at him.
"Mira stop what are you doing!" Ark closes his eyes and turns away from her. He sticks a hand out and a long metal spear flies out. Mira uses a Kodachi to block it then strikes Ark destroying him.
"No, Xana must have done something to her." Krieger runs over to Mira with his sword and shield out.
"I did do something to the girl. It had been so long since I was in her I'm almost not use to it."
"Oh I'm so going to like this." Skitz extends her clubs. "Xana, thanks for making my dreams come true." Skitz attacks Mira and beats on her with her clubs.
"I thought you might like this but I will like this better." Xana blasts Skitz with an energy bolt sending her back to Earth. "Krieger once I destroy you Sanne will be mine. Stand aside and I may let you live."
"Never." Krieger is ready to fight no matter what to protect Sanne.
"Krieger be careful." Sanne was trying to get around the Tarantula but it wasn't giving her time to fire an energy beam or a Scattershot.
"He can be as careful as he wants to be I will be the dangerous one." Mira attacks Krieger and he throws her off with his shield.
"Mira can't you fight it?" Krieger is answered by an energy bolt. Krieger uses his shield to block it and it is deflected and destroys the Tarantula.
"Thanks Krieger." Sanne runs for the Tower when she hears an explosion. Xana was done toying with Krieger and destroyed him with a massive energy orb.
"Angel not so fast." Mira uses his powers to stop Sanne from entering the Tower by moving in front of her in the blink of an eye. "Ah, ready to be kissed again?"
"I went through a tube of toothpaste last time." Sanne starts to charge an energy blast but Xana puts a hand over her mouth stopping her.
"Tsk tsk Sanne I won't fall for that again. Why do you refuse the kiss? Dante will be freed and you will have the power to do whatever you want to Sora and Krieger." Mira takes his hand off of Sanne's mouth.
"Why would I do anything to them? Krieger is just a friend I'm happy he has Sora."
"Oh and she does make him happy. Reminds me of Odd Della Robbia and Sandra Smith when they were together. But those were the old days." Mira grabs Sanne by her arms then leans down and kisses her. This lasts for several seconds when nothing happens. "No, I messed up, I can't transfer myself through this host!" Xana let's go of Sanne.
"Ew, sorry Mira but I don't like you that way." Sanne fires an energy beam hitting Mira in the face then runs for the Tower getting in it before Mira recovers.
"Damn, I guess next time will be my next chance." Mira collapses as the Tower is deactivated and Mira is freed from Xana's control. Soon she arrives on Earth as does Sanne. When they step out of the Scanners they find a horrible sight.
"Skitz, keep breathing." The damage done to Skitz had transferred to Earth. The acid had literally melted her face which made it hard to breath since her nose and mouth were covered with melted skin. Ark had used a pocket knife to cut a hole for her mouth but this made her bleed. "Sanne's here she can scan you and you'll be ok." Ark looks up at Sanne who nods. Sanne goes to the elevator and takes it up. She goes to the control panel and sees through the security camera that Skitz as put in the middle Scanner. Sanne scans her and a few seconds later Skitz steps out healed.
"Ouch, that hurt. Anyone have a mirror?" Mira gets a pocket mirror out and hands it to Skitz. Skitz looks in it. "Still my beautiful face that everyone loves." She smiles looking at her reflection.
"Everyone?" Mira takes her mirror back.
"Ok, everyone that counts." Skitz gets the last shot in as Ark gets between the two girls.
"Mira are you ok? How did Xana posses you?"
"I, I'm not sure. Something attacked me…" Mira pushes Ark away. "What the hell is your problem?"
"What?" Ark realizes Mira doesn't know the calls were fake. Except his since he was tricked by Xana. "No Mira, Xana, he did the calls."
"Really?" Ark nods. "Oh, sorry." Mira hugs Ark.
"It wasn't your fault it was Xana." Ark doesn't correct Mira. It was to confusing as it was and he didn't want Mira to get mad at him for not trusting her.
"Well while this love fest goes on I'm going to go look for Barack." Skitz goes over to the elevator.
"And Sora is waiting for me to call her back." Skitz nudges Krieger in the side with an elbow. "What was that for?" Skitz doesn't reply. "Strange." No, Odd.
"What was that?" Ark looks around swearing he heard his dad's voice.
"I don't know." They take the elevator up to the Control Room to get Sanne then leave the Factory going their separate ways.
