Krieger and Sanne are training in the gym. "Glad to see you were able to make time for me." Krieger grabs Sanne's arm and flips her over.
"You're the one who is always busy with Sora." Sanne puts her legs up and wraps her ankles around his neck and pulls him to the mat. "You're out of shape."
"You're getting better." Krieger rolls back on his shoulders and uses his hands to propel himself to his feet. "Need a hand?"
"I got it." Sanne tries to copy Krieger and lands on her butt. "Ow." Krieger sticks his hand out and helps her up.
"Yep you sure have it." Krieger smiles and laughs.
"I'm sure you get it from Sora all the time." Sanne's comment catches Krieger off guard and she kicks him in the gut. "I got you now Krieger!" She spins around and pulls him to the mat pinning him. "I'm the greatest in the world!" She stands up and raises her arms like she just won a championship.
"You have gotten better Sanne. Been training while I've been busy?" Sanne nods. "Good." Krieger tackles Sanne and pins her to the mat. "I guess I'm the best now." He gets off of her and helps her up.
"For now." Sanne looks at him, studies him, and catches thoughts going through her head she didn't like. "How about we take a break? It hasn't been this warm for awhile." Sanne smiles as she walks towards the door of the gym not waiting for Krieger's answer. He follows her and they take a walk in the woods. "So Krieger, how are things between you and Sora?"
"Um, good, I guess." Krieger looks around the woods. It had been awhile since he had gone in them since it had been so cold.
"Just good? I heard Ark walked in on you two doing things that would probably get you detention if not suspended." Sanne laughs as Krieger blushes and looks away. "So it was true?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Sanne laughs again.
"Come on, I'm so jealous of her." Sanne realizes how this sounds. "I mean, she, she's older and you know, um, built bigger. You know what I mean." Sanne laughs trying to make a joke of it. "So are you planning what to call your kids?" Sanne laughs for real when Krieger looks like he just swallowed a box of nails. "I'm kidding Krieger, unless you really were." Sanne continues to laugh as Krieger's face turns bright red. "That's so…" Sanne stops when something hits her from behind. She falls flat on her face as the thing attacks Krieger. "No, Xana, I…" The thing jumps and attacks her again. She had left her Jpocket and phone back at the school. She tries to fight it but it knocks her out.
"Whoa, what the heck?" Skitz and Barack were on her bed watching a movie when the Super Scan goes off. Barack doesn't know what it is.
"Oh, um, that's Sanne's computer." Skitz goes over to it. "Oh, her scan is done. Um, I better call her." Skitz calls Sanne and doesn't get a response. "Um, I'll be right back." Skitz knows Sanne went to the gym to train with Krieger and runs to the gym. "Where is she?" Skitz calls Sanne's phone again and hears it ringing. "Maybe she's in the locker room." Skitz goes back there and finds no one. "Krieger, answer, damn it!" She doesn't hear his phone but he doesn't answer either. "We need Sanne with out her we can't deactivate the Tower, unless…" Unless we tell Samantha. She shakes her head. There was no way they could call Samantha. She would freak out again and it wouldn't be worth the return to keep her from telling the other Original Lyoko Warriors.
"What?" Ark and Mira were having a fight. Ark was still mad at Mira for turning on him so quickly when his sister called.
"Xana's attacking and I can't get a hold of Sanne!" This ends the argument between Ark and Mira immediately. "We have to look for her."
"Um, I'll check the gym."
"Already went there. Krieger is missing to."
"Well, I don't know. Xana could have taken them anywhere." Ark thinks about it. "Well, her phone has a GPS unit on it right? We could track it, I think."
"Great idea, except I don't know how."
"I do, I think. Dad did it to you and me enough times I think I could do it. We need a computer though."
"Um, Sanne's would work."
"Ok, we'll meet there."
"Wait, Barack is there."
"What?! What were you two doing alone in your room?!"
"What were you and Mira doing alone in her room?" Skitz tries to turn it around on her brother but he was not in the mood for it.
"We were fighting! Look, get her computer and take it to my room then." Ark hangs up on his sister. "Mira there is an attack, follow me."
"Don't take that tone with me Ark." Mira stares at him but he ignores her and leaves for his room. Skitz goes back to her dorm room and gets the computer.
"Um, Barack, this might take awhile. I'm sorry."
"I get the message." Barack stretches and gets off of Skitz's bed. "I'll see you later?"
"Maybe, depends on how long this takes." They kiss then go in separate directions. Skitz gets to Ark's room and sees Ark and Mira sitting on different beds. "You really were fighting."
"Your brother is being stupid."
"You're the one who turned on me because of Xana. Who is the stupid one?"
"Ark stop it and do whatever it is you have to do." Skitz hands the Jtop to Ark and he goes to work. He had spied on his dad who used a website to find Skitz once or twice when she ran off without permission.
In the sewers Krieger and Sanne are tied up back to back. "What do you think he's planning?"
"I don't know. I can't deactivate the Tower and he can't posses me if I'm not on Lyoko." Sanne's nose itches and she is squirming trying to scratch it with her shoulder since her hands were tied to Krieger's.
"Exactly. Unless, unless he holds us hostage for the password." Krieger struggles not physically but emotionally. If this was it, if Xana was about to win, he didn't want to die without telling Sanne how he felt about her. It looked bad. Xana had made it so Sanne couldn't go to Lyoko so he could do anything he wanted now. He could be killing the others right now or be holding him and Sanne for the password. If he did get the password then Xana would probably do returns to make himself stronger.
"Krieger, um, I'm sorry." Sanne to is scared. She thinks this might be it for her and her friends. "I let him go, I released him. This is my fault. And, I…" She stops. "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry. I said we should have turned the damn thing off but I didn't. If I really wanted to I could have turned it off and kept you from turning it back on."
"I would have done something to turn it back on. When I saw Dante, I, I was reminded of my mom. I know you were jealous of him but I didn't have feelings for him like that. I just couldn't stop thinking about my mom and dad. I wanted to save him so badly I, I ignored you."
"What?" Krieger isn't sure where Sanne is going with this.
"I, I like you Krieger, you're my friend, you saved my life, you protect me. I ignored you but you still protected me. Even when you were jealous of Dante you protected him so I wouldn't be hurt. I, I shouldn't have been so mean to you." Sanne leans her head back so it touches Krieger's. "I'm sorry for that."
"I, I, please don't be saying this." Krieger is torn inside. He liked Sanne, he liked Sora, but Sanne was his dream, Sora was… There. "Why now? We're, we're not done, we can get out of this." Krieger can't let Sanne die, he can't lose to Xana.
"I can't deactivate the Tower from here can I? I'm sorry Krieger I kept telling myself we had to save Dante and beat Xana. I yelled at you because you liked me when I should have told you how I felt."
"Sanne its ok, we won't lose."
"I want to say this Krieger. I, I don't expect you to drop Sora, she's a good person. I just want you to know I'm an idiot and I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
"Sora is a good person but I, I could never tell her I loved her because it would be a lie. Sanne, I…" Before Krieger says the three words he had wanted to for so long Sanne starts to laugh. "Sanne?"
"I played you so easily." Sanne breaks the ropes tying her hands to Krieger then morphs into Dante! "You sap, she's already on Lyoko scared out of her mind. She's hiding in a Tower right now hoping you'll come and save her." Dante laughs some more as Krieger gets mad. "She's calling out for you. She wants her knight in shining armor to come and save her. To bad you won't be able to."
"Shut up!" Krieger attacks Xana. "Shut up!" He punches Xana but does little damage.
"It hurts doesn't it? Sanne finally says the words you want her to say and it's me!" He laughs evilly and Krieger continues to attack him. "Fool I have grown in power because of you kids. You are not able to hurt me." Xana blasts Krieger with an energy beam. "Cower before me and beg for mercy Krieger Stern."
"Blow me."
"I'm sorry I'm not Sora."
"She's never done that." Krieger spits at Xana. "You're good, I'll admit it. I never suspected this. Was it Sanne I was training with?"
"Oh that was her. But now she hides in a Tower crying out your name for help." Xana laughs. "Oh when none of her friends show up will she attempt to go to the Tower on her own? She can see it from the Tower she is hiding in but she waits for help. But once she realizes none is coming will she go on her own? If she does my Schipizoa will get her and she will be mine!" Xana punches Krieger in the stomach knocking the wind out of him. "Oh wait, I think your friends may have found us."
Back at Kadic Academy Ark had finally figured out how to locate Krieger. He had started off looking for Sanne's phone when Skitz told him it was in the gym. He then started looking for Krieger and found him. "I think he's in the sewers unless Xana has him stuffed in a box." Ark points out on the map where Krieger was. The point was near a warehouse next to a sewer entrance. "Come on we have to get them." The three run out of Ark's room for the sewer entrance in the woods and go to where they think Xana is holding Krieger and Sanne.
On Lyoko Sanne sticks her head out of the Tower she was hiding in. She sees the activated Tower in the distance. "I, I could probably make it." She walks out of the Tower. "No, it's a trap. I can't risk it." She goes back into the Tower. "Hurry Krieger, you're my knight in shining armor."
The kids are on skateboards going down the sewers. "I think it's a right up here." They turn right and see Krieger and Sanne passed out on the sewer floor. Ark gets off his skateboard and goes over to Krieger. "We either wake them up or carry them." He nudges Krieger with his foot but Krieger doesn't move. Skitz goes over to Sanne and kneels down. She shakes her.
"Sanne, wake up." Sanne mumbles something as her eyes open. "Sanne are you ok?"
"I think so." She rubs her head. "Krieger, is he ok?"
"He's out but he's breathing." Ark lifts Krieger up over his shoulder. "Ok he's heavy. Why can't he be fat? Fat weighs less then muscle." Ark is slow carrying Krieger so Sanne goes up and grabs his legs to try and take some weight off of Ark's shoulders. The gang walks down the sewer getting to the Factory after about twelve minutes.
"Ok how do we get him up?" Skitz looks up at the sewer entrance. She climbs up and takes the cover off and looks around. "Ark can you get him up here?"
"Maybe, Sanne, Mira, catch him if he falls." Ark positions Krieger on his shoulder and goes up the ladder slowly. He dumps Krieger off after getting out of the sewer. "Skitz, you drag him for now on." Ark climbs the rest of the way out and lies down on the ground. Ark was in good shape but he had to carry the heavier Krieger through the sewers and up a ladder.
"I can try to carry him." Sanne climbs out of the sewers followed by Mira. "I've been working out for a reason." Sanne looks down at Krieger and smiles. She bends down and picks him up. "Whoa, wait." She stumbles a little as she tries to get use to carrying him. "Ok, let's hurry." The group runs into the Factory, go down, and get to the Factory. They take it down to the Control Room. "Desert Sector, hurry down, I'll send you to Lyoko then send myself." The group nods and takes the elevator down to the Scanner Room. Krieger is put in the middle Scanner as Ark and Skitz get in the Scanners on the side. The doors close and they are sent to Lyoko. Mira gets in the middle Scanner and lands on Lyoko. Now Sanne goes to Lyoko but not through the Scanners. She turns into a black mist and goes to Lyoko.
"Krieger!" Ark kneels next to Krieger who hadn't come back after being sent to Lyoko. "Sanne something's wrong."
"I know." Sanne comes out of the Tower and sees herself.
"Xana!" The other Sanne gets in a fighting stance. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm Sanne." Tower Sanne gets in a fighting stance. "What did you do to Krieger?"
"I didn't do anything to him!" Other Sanne walks towards Tower Sanne. "Guys we have to get to the activated Tower."
"I know we do." Tower Sanne walks towards Krieger. "He better be ok."
"He better be Xana or I'll hurt you!" Other Sanne fires an energy beam at Tower Sanne.
"Bubble!" The bubble comes up and blocks the energy beam. Tower Sanne fires a Scattershot at Other Sanne who jumps out of the way.
"What do we do?" Mira looks between the two Sanne's confused.
"Test them." Skitz gets her clubs out. "Sanne, what's your best class?"
"Math!" Both yell.
"Um, well, I don't know what else to ask, um…" Skitz thinks and thinks then remembers something that happened when they were kids. "Sanne when your parents visited mine which arm did you break while trying out the new hover board?"
"Uh, my right arm." Tower Sanne reaches for her right arm as does other Sanne. "Don't copy me!"
"You're copying me, that is why you paused before you answered!" Other Sanne fires an energy beam at Tower Sanne who dodges it.
"Guys it's me, I've been hiding in that Tower waiting for you guys to get here."
"How did you get here?" Other Sanne yells at Tower Sanne.
"I don't know. Something attacked me and Krieger in the woods." Tower Sanne remembers waking up in the Tower.
"And why were you in the woods? We went training when something attacked us." Other Sanne runs at Tower Sanne and attacks her. They wrestle on the ground and soon the others don't know which Sanne is which.
"You know what?" Ark walks towards the fighting Sanne's. "I know how to end this." He concentrates and the spear comes out from his arm. "Xana will be to strong to beat but Sanne will go back to Earth." Ark runs, jumps, then shoves the spear through both Sanne's. One goes back to Earth as the other starts to laugh.
"Very good but too late!" Other Sanne turns into Xana! "I have the password. The reason Krieger won't wake up is because I did a little damage while I was diving in his brain. I don't need you anymore I will make myself more powerful!" Xana blasts Krieger then Ark then Skitz then Mira.
"No!" Ark falls out of the Scanner. "Sanne, are you ok?"
"Good job Ark." Sanne has a small scar on her stomach. "But we have to wait to go back."
"Why? We got you."
"Krieger still hasn't wakened up." Skitz points this little detail out to her brother.
"Oh, ok, then we can wait." Ark remembered what happened the last time he went back to soon. And so they do.
"I have to go upstairs and change the password." Sanne goes up the ladder and changes the password and notices a return was about to be launch. Her fingers fly over the keyboard and stops it seconds before it was ready. "Ha, suck on that Xana." Sanne waits for the countdown to end for her friends. She had been sent long before by Xana but there was no point in going alone. Once the countdown ends she sets up the Transfer Program.
"Don't put Krieger in a Scanner he won't be able to fight." She had seen Ark dragging Krieger into the middle Scanner. "Transfer Ark, Transfer Skitz, Transfer Mira, Scanner Ark, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Mira, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko and soon Sanne lands as the vehicles appear.
"Well the Tower is right there so let's go." Ark gets his disc out as Sanne gets on the Overbike. Skitz runs over to the Overboard laughing as Mira complains about the Overwing.
"Be careful Sanne he's probably still around here waiting for you. If he attacks you as well, you, come here." Skitz goes over to Sanne and whispers something to Sanne. "Ok?"
"Ok, let's go!" Sanne revs the engine of the Overbike and takes off for the Tower as the others follow.
Xana sees them coming to the Tower and sends a welcoming committee. "Assassins, Sanne stay back." Skitz gets her clubs out as Mira gets her Kodachi's out. Ark flies higher into the air and gets his spear out.
"I don't know how I lived without you." He looks down at the three Assassins. "Alley Oop!" He flips upside down on the disc and falls towards the Assassins. One looks up and sees him and starts to fire at him. He blocks lasers glad his distraction had worked. His disc being psychically controlled by him comes in and slams into an Assassin. It is knocked into another Assassin knocking both of them off of their feet as Ark comes down and shoves his spear into the Eye of the last Assassin. He uses his tail like a spring to bounce away from the Assassin like Tigger before it explodes.
"Good job Ark!" Mira dives on the Overwing and jumps off landing on the back of an Assassin and shoving a Kodachi into the Eye. She jumps away but is hit by lasers from the last Assassin.
"Bad job Mira." Skitz comes in on the Overboard. "Extend." The clubs lengthen to three meters, as long as they could get. She puts them under her arms like lances and catches the Assassin under its arms. She lifts it into the air then drops it. As the Assassin falls she jumps off the Overboard and hits it in the Eye. She kicks away from it and lands on the Overboard as the Assassin falls to the ground and explodes. "I'm great, go Sanne."
"Ok."
"Ok." Two Sanne's again!
"Xana give it up. We know one is real and one is you. Sanne, what is two plus two?"
"Four!" One Sanne answers.
"No, negative three." Skitz's plan had worked. Skitz attacks the Sanne that answered four as the other Sanne runs to the Tower. Ark and Mira join in on attacking the Sanne that answered four giving the real Sanne time to get into the Tower.
"No!" Fake Sanne creates an energy shield knocking the three away. "Tricky, you learned."
"Of course we did." Skitz sticks her tongue out at Fake Sanne as it turns into Xana. "Tower deactivated means you lose again."
"I lose? Maybe so, but Krieger, well, he won't be so well I imagine." Xana breaks apart into a black mist as Sanne sends the Lyoko Warriors back to Earth to check on Krieger.
"Krieger?" Ark goes over to Krieger who is sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. "Are you ok?"
"No." Krieger stands up and goes over to the elevator. He pushes the button and the elevator doors open. He gets on and the others follow him.
"Krieger are you sure you're ok?" Krieger ignores Sanne. "Krieger?" He continues to ignore her and as the elevator goes up and opens the door as they get to the Factory floor. "Krieger what happened?" He walks away ignoring her and the others. He was to busy yelling at himself on the inside. He liked Sora, he really did, she was nice, smart, funny, and fun. But he wasn't able to say he loved her, he knew he loved Sanne but she didn't like him back that way. He hates that he can't say he loves Sora even though she had said it to him twice. He felt guilty because they did things and he knows Sora is doing it because she wants to be with him but for Krieger it was just a way to stop thinking about Sanne.
