Krieger is coming back from a date with Sora. "Man she probably messed my neck up again. I hate how the teachers look at me." Krieger rubs his neck as he opens the door to his dorm room and sees Ark on his bed looking at a nudie magazine. "Ark what are you doing with one of those?"
"I'm a man I'm allowed to have them." Ark turns his head and whistles at a model.
"You're a kid not a man. What about Mira?" Krieger sits down on his bed as Ark goes turns a couple pages. Krieger sees a magazine sticking out from Ark's mattress and rolls his eyes.
"She doesn't want to go that far and I'm damn scared to go that far, now. But if I can figure out the logistics of it from these…" Ark unfolds Miss October. "Man check out these." Ark shows Krieger.
"How did you get it?" Krieger is uncomfortable with what was going on.
"Gave magazine rack guy money and when he went to get change I switched magazines and let him have the change. I've done it so many times I think the guy doesn't care. He gets an extra twenty seven Euros and I get the next issue of, whoa, man I hope Mira gets like this when she's older?"
"Ark put them away. What if one of the girls had walked in instead of me?"
"Well if it was Mira maybe… Don't make me talk now." Ark goes through the magazine until he finishes it. "So how did things go with Sora? Left lots of marks on your neck again I see." Ark laughs as Krieger puts his hands to his neck.
"You're just jealous since you've probably never seen a naked woman in real life." Krieger sticks his tongue out at Ark.
"Oh so you already got to see Sora?" Krieger looks away blushing. "Alright Krieger you go man! High five!"
"I'm not touching your hands until you wash them."
"Man I wasn't doing that I just got this issue and couldn't wait to go through it." Ark puts the magazine under his mattress and Krieger sees about a dozen magazines.
"Now I know what you spend your money on." Krieger gets a bag of clothes. He still took his showers at night. A clean body meant a clean bed. "I'm taking a shower and if I come back to you doing anything I am telling the girls about your stash of porn." For once Ark blushes.
"You know what? I have to go find Mira and tell her how good looking she is." Ark and Krieger leave the room going in separate directions. As the door closes a black mist comes out and moves under Ark's bed. Soon the magazine he had been looking at comes out and three different models form from the pages.
"Ark Della Robbia, Krieger Buke Stern, Mira Dallas Roarke, Sanne Belpois, Skitz Della Robbia, they are your targets. Kill them." Xana's message is heard by the three possessed magazine models. The leader, Miss October, breaks through the door of the dorm room.
"Whoa!" A 7th grade student getting back from the library and getting ready for bed sees three beautiful naked women leaving a dorm room. "Uh, wow." The three women walk by ignoring him. "Whose room is that?" The student goes over and sees it is Ark Della Robbia's and Krieger Stern's room. "What were they doing?" He looks in since the door was broken and sees no one is inside. "How do I get three women to chase after me?" He watches them walk down the hall unable to take his eyes off of them. One stops at the door to the boys shower room.
"Krieger is in this room." The model on the right opens the door and walks in. Krieger is washing his hair and doesn't hear the door open. He washes the shampoo out and goes to grab the soap when he sees a beautiful naked woman that looks familiar but he doesn't seem to have enough blood going to his brain to remember where he saw her.
"Uh, um, you…" He stammers as the woman walks over to him. "I, you can't be in here." Krieger says this more trying to tell himself this couldn't be happening then telling this beautiful woman that she wasn't allowed in the boys' shower room.
"Hello Krieger I've been looking for you." The woman's voice is as sweet and sultry as the woman's body. "Xana wants you to die, pity, you really are cute." She swings at Krieger but he dodges it on instinct and her fist slams into the shower wall making a hole. As the woman struggles to get her fist out Krieger runs from the showers and into the changing room. He tries to get clothes on but the door is literally ripped off the door. Krieger looks around and grabs a towel. He wraps it around his waist as he runs out of the boys' shower room.
Sanne is getting back to her room after brushing her teeth when she hears a beeping noise. "Attack! I have to call the others." Sanne gets her phone off of the charger and calls Krieger, his phone rings but he can't answer it.
"So you got away from Melina. I knew it was a good idea to wait for you here." The other model is waiting for Krieger in his room. "That must be Sanne calling for you to tell you there is an attack." The model laughs. "Run, let's see how well you can run with just a towel." Krieger backs away as the model starts to walk towards him. Krieger backs into the wall then runs.
"Ok Sanne we'll be there." Ark hangs up and turns to Mira. "Xana's attacking beautiful so we must be going."
"Ok, um, don't tell them ok?" Mira puts her shirt back on and blushes. Her and Ark had been taking things slowly but Ark said he wanted to give her a massage to help her sleep but she had to take her shirt off so her could really work on her muscles. She knew he was just trying to get her shirt off but decided it would be ok, it would still be moving the relationship but not going to fast. Ark opens the door and immediately runs into a naked woman who hugs him and kisses him.
"Ark dear you said to meet you in your room but you weren't there." She smiles and kisses him again. "I just couldn't wait."
"I, I, uh, um, I…" Ark is dumbfounded by what is going on. He pulls away from the woman and is pushed by Mira.
"You, you, I hate you!" Mira slams the door shut and locks it.
"She doesn't love you as much as you think she does. If she did she would have let you explain." The model grabs Ark by the throat. "Recognize me?"
"Miss October?" She smiles.
"Yes, glad you recognized my face, most men don't look at it." She leans down and kisses Ark again. "To bad I have been ordered to kill you." She squeezes her hand around Ark's neck and starts to choke him. She lifts him into the air as energy sparks around her. Ark's face turns red as he struggles. He kicks against Mira's door hoping she would open it. When he kicks hard enough to put his foot through Mira opens the door and sees Ark being choked by the woman.
"Xana, Ark, I'm so sor…" The model grabs Mira by the throat.
"To late little girl. Hmpf, no wonder he was looking at me you're almost as flat as my back." The model laughs as she starts to choke Mira and lifts her into the air.
"I hear you, I'll be there." Skitz hangs her phone up. "Barack I'm sorry I, well, it is getting late. Thanks for helping me." She kisses Barack. "My father would be so mad if he knew I needed help with my Italian."
"Ok Skitz, good night, dream of me." Barack kisses Skitz good night and she leaves his room with her book bag and Italian homework. Skitz runs out of the dorm room and as she gets to the stairs she hears deep evil laughing.
"Xana." She takes the stairs to the girls' dorm floor where the laughter is coming from and sees a naked woman choking her brother and Mira. "Hey! Leave them alone Jugs!" The model drops both Ark and Mira, they don't move.
"Jugs? Jealous are we?" The woman walks towards Skitz.
"Heh, looks like those are fake with the way you jiggle." Skitz laughs. She wanted to draw the woman away from her brother. This also brought the model away from Mira but Skitz wasn't really worried about her.
"I killed those two already now I get to kill you."
"Yeah right like my brother would go down that easily to some bimbo with more plastic in her then a Barbie." Skitz waits for the woman to get close before she starts down the stairs. The model chases after her leaving Ark and Mira behind.
Krieger gets to the Factory after the model stopped chasing him and goes down to the Control Room. "Oh, Sanne, hi." He blushes and makes sure the towel stays up.
"What are you doing?" Sanne blushes and looks away. Krieger's hair was still wet, his upper body was showing and she could see his well defined muscles.
"I, I was taking a shower when, uh, Xana attacked." Krieger didn't want to mention the naked woman to Sanne. "I tried to grab clothes but he didn't stop chasing me until I got to the sewer entrance in the park."
"Oh, well, um, just keep it up." Krieger sits down on the floor carefully as they wait for the others to make it. As they wait Krieger notices Sanne keeps looking over at him then turns away when he catches her.
"Sanne, what is it?"
"Um, uh, aren't you cold? I could send you to Lyoko now. I'm sure the Desert Sector will be a lot better then sitting there in a towel." Sanne has to keep herself from looking at Krieger. There were thoughts running through her mind that she hated. He's just a friend, stop looking at his body, that strong almost chiseled… No! She shakes her head as she hears the elevator run. Krieger was taking it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Krieger, Scanner Krieger, Virtualization." He lands in the Desert Sector. "So how does that feel? Better?"
"A lot thanks." Krieger sits down. He was getting cold. It was early December and a towel was not enough to keep him warm.
Back at Kadic Academy Skitz runs to the sewer entrance in the woods and finds two more naked women. "What is up with this?" Skitz turns around and sees the other woman chasing after her. "Damn they better deactivate that Tower." Skitz runs off into the woods and now all three women chase after her.
In the dorm building Ark and Mira start to come back. Ark sits up and shakes his head. His neck hurt and his lungs hurt but other then that he seemed fine. He sees Mira on the floor. "Mira!" He shakes her and her eyes open.
"Ark, Xana, ouch." Ark had shaken her a little too hard.
"Mira, we have to get to the Factory." Ark stands up then helps Mira up.
"I, it was Xana, I'm sorry." Mira had yelled at Ark but should have known it wasn't Ark cheating on her but Xana.
"Shut up." Ark runs to the staircase mad at Mira. She had yelled at him and turned on him so quickly. He remembered when his sister said Sanne said Mira was working for Xana and Ark had trusted Mira. He didn't turn on her when it seemed she was working for the great evil that was evil yet she turned on him in an instant. Maybe her feelings for him weren't as strong as his were for her. She runs after him thinking he was just in a hurry to get to the Factory so they could go to Lyoko.
"So Krieger how are things between you and Sora?" Sanne was bored waiting for the others.
"Good, just had a date tonight. We saw French Pie 3, it was ok but a little crude." Krieger is sitting on the ground of the Desert Sector. Going to Lyoko would probably heal the marks Sora left on his neck. "What were you doing?"
"Um, working on a program." I'm such an idiot! No, stop that he's just a friend, what the hell is wrong with you?" Sanne shakes her head. "After I worked out in the gym."
"Oh, well, maybe tomorrow we could do some training." They continue to talk as Skitz is captured by the three models.
"Let me go bimbos!" Skitz struggles but the models are strong because of Xana and one pins her arms behind her back.
"Skitz Della Robbia, I killed your brother and his little girlfriend now I get to kill you." A second model grabs Skitz by the throat. "Hmmm, no, that was no fun." She lets go of Skitz's neck. "It is cold out, if it weren't for Xana's powers we would be frozen. Join us Skitz and freeze to death." The models use the powers given to them by Xana and burn Skitz's clothes off.
"Look at her, shivering already!" Miss October kicks Skitz. "Come on Skitz, run, keep the blood flowing. Maybe if you run back to the school a boy will help you." Miss October and the other two models laugh. "I said run!" Miss October kicks Skitz again who starts to get up and run trying to ignore the cold. "Wait, give her a head start then we can hunt her down." The three models wait one minute then chase after a cold naked Skitz.
"Hey, Ark and Mira made it." Sanne heard the alarm go off and checked the cameras. She then hears the elevator running and soon the two steps off the elevator.
"Where are Skitz, and Krieger?" Ark looks around the room.
"Krieger's on Lyoko and Skitz is somewhere. Let me call her again." Sanne calls Skitz but gets no answer. Her phone was destroyed when her clothes were burned. "I'm guessing whatever Xana sent is attacking Skitz.
"Oh, we, we better hurry." Ark worries about his sister. Miss October was strong enough to lift him with one hand who knew what she would do to his sister. He didn't know about the other models or he would have worried even more.
"Ok, auto transfer is ready." Sanne starts it and the three take the elevator down to the Scanner Room and get in the Scanners before the doors close. Soon they land on Lyoko next to Krieger and the vehicles.
"Where's the Tower Sanne?" Krieger was already on the Overbike and waits for Sanne to get on the back.
"Go north. The barrier was pretty big so we need to go as fast as possible." Krieger revs the engine and takes off. The others get on the other vehicles and take off after the two.
Skitz is running through the woods slowing down as she gets colder and colder. She trips on a root and falls over. "No, have to keep running." She stands up and stumbles, she had broken two toes but was so cold she didn't feel it. "Have to get away." She starts to feel lost, defeated, close to crying as hope leaves her as fast as her body heat does. She hears footsteps and turns to see the tallest of the models walking over to her. "Hey there Jugs."
"Still able to joke are we?" The model walks over to Skitz. "You're so cold I won't even have to kill you. I'll just wait for you to freeze to death." The model spits on Skitz then throws her to the ground. "Crawl, beg me for mercy, beg for me to save your pathetic life."
"Eat me Jugs." Skitz stands up. "I may be cold but at least I'm real."
"Eat you? I could but you'd have to clean up first." Skitz swings at the model and the model grabs her arm. "This will do." She bites down on Skitz's arm and Skitz's scream alerts the other models where she was.
On Lyoko the group is making good time over the flat ground of the Desert Sector when Xana sends a speed bump. "Kankrelats and Hornets? We better be careful he could have powered them up." Krieger slows down so the others could catch up.
"Krieger, Sanne's the important one we'll take care of the weak monsters." Ark turns to Mira. "You might have to get off the Overboard."
"I love this thing but if it gets hit by a laser I'd lose it." Mira jumps off and gets her Kodachi's out as she does a flip. "Ark I've never seen these before."
"They're weak but the Hornets have poison. Be careful with the Kankrelats they suck but in a group they can be an annoyance." Ark flies up into the air on his Disc. "I'll take high you go low." Ark and Mira attack the Kankrelats and Hornets while Krieger and Sanne take off for the Tower.
"Sanne hang on." Krieger sees a rock that makes him think of a ramp. Surprisingly to Krieger Sanne takes her hands off his shoulders and wraps them around his waist. He revs the engine and hits the rock formation and goes flying into the air.
"Wow!" Sanne looks around as they are in the air. "Landing!" The Overbike bounces when it lands and Sanne has to squeeze tightly to hang on. "That was fun let's not do that again." Sanne laughs.
"Ok but I saw what I wanted to." Krieger had been looking up and saw the Tower. He revs the engine again and goes as fast as he can for it.
Mira and Ark are doing well. Mira blocks lasers with her Kodachi's while Ark figures out how to get the spear to come out. "This is so much easier. I wish I had known how to make this work a long time ago." Ark blocks a laser then swings the spear like a bat hitting a Hornet. The Hornet fires lasers and poison randomly and covers a Kankrelat with poison destroying it.
"Got you now bug." Mira strikes a Kankrelat with a Kodachi destroying it. "Whoa to close." She dodges a laser from a Kankrelat. "Bye bye." She destroys it as Ark destroys the last Hornet. He flies down and strikes the last Kankrelat destroying it.
"Come on Mira get to the Overboard and hurry." Ark takes off as Mira runs over to the Overboard.
"Aaaa!" Skitz is passed around by the models like a basketball.
"This is so much fun I'm really glad I thought of it." Miss October throws Skitz to a model who catches her by the ankle.
"Yes, so much fun. Look at her, I use to be as small as her." The model tosses Skitz back to Miss October. "Until Dr. Zydeco got a hold of me." The models laugh as Miss October throws Skitz to the other model.
Back on Lyoko Krieger and Sanne see two Tarantulas guarding the Tower. "We can do this Sanne." Krieger get his sword and shield out. "How about you stay on the Overbike and I attack them. When they come after me you go for the Tower?"
"I can help." Sanne wasn't like her mother, she could fight.
"I know but if you get hit we can't deactivate the Tower." Krieger gets off the Overbike. "Ok, do a Scattershot if you want but be careful."
"Ok, Scattershot!" Sanne charges and fires five beams. The Tarantulas dodge the attack and fire lasers of their own. Krieger charges using his shield to block when a laser beam fires over his shoulder.
"Sanne get back!" Krieger dodges a laser and rolls right to get behind a rock.
"I can help!" Sanne fires a single laser beam at the Tarantulas. They fire at her and she uses the Overbike as a shield.
"I know you can but you need to stay back since we need you!" Krieger runs from behind the rock and throws his shield at the Tarantulas. It hits one in the side but doesn't hit the Eye. Sanne fires an energy beam and hits it in the Eye destroying it as Ark and Mira show up.
"Ba da da da ba da da da! The Calvary has arrived!" Ark dives on the disc and uses the spear to hit the Tarantula in the Eye destroying it. "Go Sanne!" Sanne runs for the Tower and gets in. The Tower is deactivated and the group goes back to Earth.
"I can't get a hold of your sister." Sanne had called, Ark had called, no one could get a hold of her. "I, do we need to do a return?"
"I don't know." Ark was scared for his sister. "If, if we don't and she gets hurt… I don't know."
In the woods Skitz was curled up in a ball shivering. The models had turned into paper and blown away in the wind but she was still cold, naked, and her body was slowly shutting down. "Pl, ple, please…" Her lips were blue, her breath could be seen.
"I, if we do one and she was just unable to get to her phone we'll make Xana stronger for nothing." Mira and Ark were arguing.
"And if she's close to death then what? If those women got her she, she wouldn't, she wouldn't last a minute!"
"One of them let us go and didn't even get Krieger!"
"Yeah so both of them focused on Skitz!"
"Fine, do one, we'll see who looks ridiculous." Mira turns her back on Ark.
"Return to the past now!" Sanne launches a return reversing time.
"Wow, they did it." Skitz was in the Gazebo, fully clothed and with a coat on, with Barack.
"Who did what?"
"Oh, um, there was a show on yesterday that ended in a cliff hanger. It's been bugging me who did it and I think I know. Now I just have to wait for the next episode to find out if I'm right." Skitz gets her cell phone out when it vibrates. "Oh, um, Sanne's calling, I'll be right back." Skitz walks away from the Gazebo and answers her phone. "Sanne, thank you."
"You're ok?"
"I am now. That was close."
"Really? Well, ok. Glad to hear you're ok." They hang up as things heat up between Mira and Ark.
"I don't care Mira. You turned on me in a freaking second. I trust you, I've always trusted you. I stopped my sister from beating you into the infirmary when Xana told us you were working for him. I didn't believe him for a second yet you turned on me like that!" Ark snaps his fingers.
"I'm sorry Ark you don't understand. I, I really like you and don't want to lose you. When, when I saw that girl kissing you I, I lost it." Mira was on the verge of tears. Ark had been yelling at her for nearly ten minutes and wouldn't listen.
"I tell you there is an attack and as we leave Miss October is there and kisses me and you don't put two and two together?"
"Who?" Ark stops. "Miss October, you're acting like she's some porn magazine… Ark! What are you doing with something like that!?" The yelling had been turned around.
"I don't have to explain myself. You're not ready for more, I'm not much better. We take it slow but until we do more I, well, I'm a man."
"You're a boy." Ark laughs.
"Krieger said the same thing."
"You and Krieger look at the magazine together? That's a little wrong." Mira laughs.
"No, I, I just got the October issue and Krieger saw me looking at it and I showed him some of the models."
"Models? Try skanks." Mira kisses Ark. "If you don't get rid of them I'll make sure everyone knows you and Krieger look at them together."
"You wouldn't dare do that to Krieger. Me I understand but Krieger didn't do anything wrong."
"Get rid of them."
"Come on I spent like thirty Euros on each one."
"I don't care, get rid of them." Mira kisses him as he groans.
"Fine, I'll get rid of them." Ark kisses Mira and leaves her room. He goes to his room and lifts his mattress. "I'm sorry ladies but the big girl doesn't like you." Ark looks around and figures out how to get them out. He grabs his book bag, fills it up with a dozen magazines, and carries them to the school dumpster not knowing he was being watched.
After he places them on top of an empty box a girl walks up to the dumpster. "Hmmm, I wonder what he was throwing out this late." Sora's dorm window overlooks the area the dumpster was in and she saw Ark and was curious. "Oh looky here, jack pot." She grabs the magazines. "Hmmm, I think I might keep these." Sora stuffs them under her shirt and goes back to her dorm room to hide them under her mattress.
