Sanne is tossing and turning in bed. She was having a dream that started after her and her friends nearly lost to Xana. She heard a whisper at first but then it got louder. Tonight however the voice comes with a body. The voice forms into an older man. He is humble, nice to her. His beard reminds her of Jim when he doesn't shave for awhile. His glasses remind her of her father. She has no idea who he is but he seems to know who she is. "Sanne dear, go to the Factory. If you want to defeat Xana then you need me. You need to find the information that will free me and give you a chance to defeat that monster!" Sanne sits up in bed. She is breathing hard and feels her sweat roll down her face. The dream had been intense but would she go to the Factory alone? She looks over at Skitz who was sleeping.
"I can do it alone. He said he could help us defeat Xana." Sanne changes into the clothes she was wearing earlier not wanting to dirty clean clothes and quietly leaves the dorm room. She sneaks out of the dorm building and gets to the sewer entrance in the woods.
Sanne gets to the Factory easily and goes down to the Control Room. She gets in the computer chair and brings up a screen. "Ok, I'm crazy. It was a dream." But it felt so real. "Dante, are you there?" Another screen comes up.
"Of course Sanne I'm always here, how was class?" Dante assumes Sanne came over after classes since there was no time on Lyoko.
"Haven't gone yet. I was wondering if there was anyone else on Lyoko besides you and Xana." Dante shakes his head. "What if they were hidden? Or um, not visible, like I don't know." Sanne feels stupid now. It was just a dream.
"I wouldn't know if they were here if they were hidden but who else would be on Lyoko?" Sanne shrugs. "What time is it?" Sanne looks at her Jcell.
"Nearly four in the morning." Sanne shakes her head feeling foolish. She had classes in the morning and here she was at the Factory because of a dream. "Oh crap!" The Super Scan came up as Xana launched an attack. Sanne calls Skitz but she doesn't answer. "She's still sleeping, please answer!" She calls Krieger who doesn't answer either. All of her friends were sleeping and didn't hear their phones ringing. "Dante I'll be right back I have to get the others." Sanne goes over to the elevator but is stopped by Xana.
"I got you now!" Ms. Delmas grabs Sanne by the front of her shirt. "What ever were you doing here so late?" Ms. Delmas lifts Sanne into the air. "Struggle all you want I got you!"
"You tricked me!" Sanne twists and turns and drops out of her shirt. She runs over to the control panel when Dante yells at her.
"Get to the Scanner Room I'll send you!" Sanne runs over to the ladder and slides down to the Scanner Room. She runs into the middle Scanner when she sees Ms. Delmas float through the ceiling.
"You're not fast enough!" Ms. Delmas flies over at Sanne when the Scanner doors close. "On Lyoko I'll get you!" Ms. Delmas breaks apart into black mist and follows Sanne to Lyoko.
"Stay away from me!" Sanne fires an energy beam at Ms. Delmas before running for a Tower. She gets to it and runs into Dante. "Oh, sorry Dante." Dante had sent Sanne right outside of the Way Tower he was in.
"Its ok, are you alright?" Sanne nods. "You really like pink don't you?" Dante smiles then laughs. He had seen Sanne after she got out of Ms. Delmas's grasp when she slipped out of her shirt and saw the color of her bra.
"What?" Sanne was confused.
"Never mind." Dante goes to the front of the Tower and sticks his head out to see Ms. Delmas standing mere centimeters away. "Whoa!" He pulls his head back before Ms. Delmas can grab him and pull him out of the Tower. "Ok how do we do this? If you go back to Earth she'll go after you."
"You go to Earth and get the others. I can't get to the activated Tower alone." Dante nods then floats to the top platform and uses the control panel there to send himself to Earth. Sanne sits down on the bottom platform.
"How could I have been so stupid?" Sanne can't believe she was stupid enough to follow a voice from a dream. She lies down on her back and stares up into the Tower. "Please hurry Dante." Sanne closes her eyes when she hears a whisper.
"Sanne, I am sorry." Sanne sits up and looks around. "I should have expected Xana to be watching." The voice surrounds her. "Do not worry Xana's child will get your friends. Afterwards you can look for this data." Suddenly numbers come off the Tower wall and run in front of Sanne.
"Whoa, that's a lot of code." Sanne sees the ones and zeroes move in front of her and wonders what it could be for. "Um, who are you?"
"You asked that before and I already answered this question. I am the one who can help you defeat the monster that is Xana." The voice never gave Sanne a straight answer. "I am sorry I did not foresee Xana attacking. I should have known it would happen."
"I didn't think about it either. Um, do you know how Dante and the others are doing?"
"No, I can not spend energy right now." The numbers disappear. "Thank you for coming Sanne. Thank you for trusting me."
"Uh, no problem." Sanne sits and talks to the whisper as Dante gets the other Lyoko Warriors.
"Hello?" Dante knocks on the door to Krieger's and Ark's room. When no one responds he opens the door. "Get up, there's an attack." He shakes Krieger then Ark. "Xana is attacking."
"Uh, where's Sanne?" Krieger yawns.
"She's trapped on Lyoko. I was able to escape. Hurry and get dressed while I get the others." Dante leaves the dorm room and goes to the next floor to get Mira and Skitz as soon as possible.
"Hello?" Dante knocks on Sanne's and Skitz's door. He opens it and sees Skitz is sleeping on top of her sheets and immediately blushes. Skitz slept in her underwear still. "Skitz get up there's a Xana attack." Dante covers his eyes and shakes Skitz until she wakes up.
"Huh, what?" Skitz looks over and sees Dante. "Hey!" She covers herself with a blanket. "What are you doing?"
"Xana's attacking and Sanne is trapped on Lyoko." Dante has to hide his smile. So far he saw Sanne with her shirt off and now he sees Skitz in her underwear. He was technically in his twenties but he had the mind of a teenage boy. "Hurry before Xana tries to get Sanne out of the Tower." Dante leaves the dorm room wondering what he would see in Mira's room.
"How did Xana get Sanne without waking me up?" Skitz gets dressed as she wonders how Sanne was taken.
"Hello?" Dante knocks on Mira's door. He knows she has a room mate and has to be quiet. He opens the door and is disappointed that both girls are covered by blankets. "I've had a good morning so far can't be that lucky." Dante walks quietly to Mira's bed and shakes her.
"Huh? What?" Mira turns over and sees Dante. "What are you doing here?" Mira looks over and sees her room mate was still sleeping. "What time is it and why are you here?"
"Xana is attacking and Sanne is trapped on Lyoko so I had to come and wake everyone up. Hurry." Dante leaves the room making sure not to wake Mira's room mate up then runs back to the Factory.
"Ok, I'll do that, but first we need to stop this attack." Sanne looks out of the Tower and sees Ms. Delmas is still waiting for her. "Do you know how to make him leave the Tower?"
"Yes but it will be very dangerous for me. If he realizes I am still alive he may find the code and destroy me."
"Oh, well, don't do that. We need you to stop Xana right?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll have to rely on my friends." Sanne waits and wonders what was going on. Was Xana attacking her friends? Had they already been killed again? Were they mad that all this had happened and refusing to come and save her? Sanne was going crazy waiting for her friends before she realizes this is what it felt like to be her mother. Stuck in a Tower with no idea what was happening to your friends on Earth. "Please save me Krieger, Dante, Ark, Skitz, Mira." Sanne had been scared that they blamed her for what happened last time. She was afraid that her friends would hate her because she was the one who wanted to find the Super Computer. She was the one who turned it on. She was the one who convinced them to leave it on. Now they had fought for months, three of them had died. Would they leave her to Xana as punishment? Sanne loved her friends but she was just a teenage girl. She didn't have enough real life experience or knowledge to be secure yet. Her parents had fought Xana for years and at first they fought like they did. But as Xana got stronger their parents got closer. But they never had to deal with this. William had died but he wasn't in the group when that happened. At that time they were so close it probably wouldn't have affected the group but with the new group? Sanne starts to rock back and forth wondering if her friends were abandoning her to the enemy as punishment.
"Crap." Krieger pushes against the sewer cover but it won't move. "Xana's blocking it we have to go to the next one." Krieger climbs down the ladder and the group heads for the next one. Xana was hoping that Sanne would get tired of waiting and try for the Tower on her own.
"Come on Sanne they aren't coming. You can do it. I'll even give you a head start." Xana didn't dare go into the Tower. It was the only way he could be defeated. "You can trust me Sanne. I'll let you take twenty steps before I chase after you." Ms. Delmas laughs.
"Here we go." Krieger moves the sewer cover and climbs out followed by the others. "The Factory is that way." He and the others run for the Factory. "Dante you're sending us and the vehicles right?"
"Yes Krieger." The group gets to the Factory and swing down the ropes to the Factory floor. "Sanne is at the Way Tower so we'll have a bit of distance to travel to get to the activated Tower." Dante and the others get on the elevator and take it down to the Control Room where Dante gets off. The others continue down to the Scanner Room as Dante gets ready to send them. "Ok, get in." He sees three do. "Transfer Krieger, Transfer Skitz, Transfer Ark, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Ark, virtualization." They land on Lyoko outside of the Tower.
"Hey Xana!" Krieger gets his sword and shield out as Mira and the vehicles appear followed by Dante in his mage profile. "Sanne are you ok!?" Krieger yells this so Sanne can hear her.
"See? I told you they would come to save you Sanne. Wait a few seconds before leaving the Tower." The whisper had kept Sanne company while she waited for her friends to get to Lyoko. Sanne stands up and sticks her head out of the Way Tower and sees Ms. Delmas fighting with her friends.
"Scattershot!" Sanne fires energy beams at Ms. Delmas then runs for the Overbike. "Leave her alone we have to deactivate the Tower!" Sanne revs the engine as Dante gets on the back and wraps his arms around her waist to hang on. Sanne takes off for the Tower as the other Lyoko Warriors scramble to get away from Ms. Delmas and get on the vehicles.
"Guys just go and I'll keep her busy!" Krieger was fighting Ms. Delmas and was surprised at how well he was doing. Xana seemed to be weaker since last time. "That's right Dante said Xana was hurt after what he did." Krieger dodges a blow and strikes with his sword as the other Lyoko Warriors get on the vehicles and take off after Sanne to help her deactivate the Tower.
On Earth Xana's attack was performing. "No, stop the launch, something's wrong with the coordinates." An operator at NASA's launch field is trying to figure out what is wrong. It was just a routine launch to the moon base to drop off food for the animal preserve but everything was going wrong. "Crap, stop it!" He hits the emergency shut off button but nothing happens. The shuttle launches and instead of heading for space flies across the ocean for France.
"She's chasing us!" Mira turned and saw Ms. Delmas chasing after the group. "She's going to get me!"
"You think?" Ark turns and sees Mira was falling behind. "She must have beaten Krieger." Ark flies back to Mira. "Get on with me the Overwing is to slow." Ark reaches out for Mira and grabs her hand pulling her onto his disc. "I hope Krieger is ok." Ark and Mira catch up to the others.
Krieger was ok but mad. Ms. Delmas had grown tired of fighting him and took off after the others. "Super Leap!" Krieger flies through the air using Super Leap after Super Leap to gain speed.
"Must go faster. Must go faster, go go go go go!" Even on the disc Ark and Mira were falling behind.
"Mira fight her we can't let Sanne or Dante get sent back to Earth we need them." Mira nods and jumps off the disc flipping in mid air getting her Kodachis out and landing on Ms. Delmas. They crash down onto the ground and tumble being separated.
"Too late I'll get her!" Ms. Delmas stands up and starts to lift into the air to go after the group when Mira jumps on her back and stabs her with the Kodachis. "Aaaa!" Ms. Delmas struggles and knocks Mira off. "Foolish girl I may have been weakened but I am too strong for you!" Ms. Delmas charges with energy ready to strike back at Mira but was to slow.
"Stealth." Mira becomes invisible.
"Go ahead and hide Mira but I can still strike you!" Energy expands around Ms. Delmas and Mira backs away from it. "Perfect." Ms. Delmas takes off for the other Lyoko Warriors. Mira throws a Kodachi at her and it hits her in the back. "Foolish girl I was leaving you alone." Ms. Delmas pulls the Kodachi out of her back and throws it at where Mira was. She is hit and sent back to Earth but Krieger catches up to Ms. Delmas in time to attack.
"Super Leap!" He leaps into the air then throws his shield at Ms. Delmas. She brings up an energy field and blocks it. Krieger falls towards the ground and swings his sword when he gets close to Ms. Delmas. "Fight me coward!" Krieger swings at Ms. Delmas again.
"I am not fighting you I am capturing my new host body!" Ms. Delmas knocks Krieger away then takes off after the other Lyoko Warriors.
"Get back here!" Krieger runs after her then uses Super Leaps to chase after Ms. Delmas and the others.
"I see the Tower!" Sanne already has the Overbike going as fast as possible but leans forward hoping to go faster.
"Sanne it's hard to hang on to you with you leaning over like that." Dante was afraid of falling off the Overbike and Krieger seeing what was going on the Overbike. "Sit down this won't go any faster!" He pulls on Sanne's waist and she sits back down on the Overbike. "If Ms. Delmas gets past Mira I'll fight and you get in the Tower. She's after you, he's after you, and we can't lose you." Dante didn't tell Sanne or the others about what Xana, Ms. Delmas, had said to him right before she killed three of the new Lyoko Warriors.
"I think I'll just drive right into it." But soon Sanne would see a speed bump. Two large round speed bumps. "Crap, Mega Tanks." One fires and Sanne dodges it. The next one fires and she dodges that blast.
"Sanne just keep going we'll take care of the Mega Tanks!" Skitz gets her clubs out. "Extend." He clubs get longer as she dodges a Mega Tank blast. "Ark take the one on the left."
"Ok. Be careful Skitz." Ark dodges a Mega Tank blast. "Whoa that was close." He nearly dodged into another Mega Tank blast. "Ah, there it is." Ark creates his spear from his wrist. "I missed you." Ark dodges another Mega Tank blast and gets ready to attack.
"Get back here coward!" Krieger was falling behind Ms. Delmas when he sees the activated Tower. "Super Leap!" Krieger looks around for a way to go faster when he sees several rocks up ahead. "It better work, Super Leap!" He leaps towards the rocks, rebounds off of one and uses his momentum to do another Super Leap to land on top of Ms. Delmas. "Die Xana!" He shoves his sword into the chest of Ms. Delmas and sees glowing. He rips his word through Ms. Delmas and sees the three power orbs in her chest. "What are these?" Krieger is too stunned to do anything else until Ms. Delmas's chest heals and she blasts him with energy and sends him back to Earth.
"That was dangerous." Ms. Delmas stands up. "I need my new host so I won't be so weak." Ms. Delmas flies to the activated Tower.
"Crap, Sanne get to the Tower!" Dante sees Ms. Delmas and jumps off the back of the Overbike. "Uh, crap, need my wand." Dante wasn't use to fighting yet. "What was the word, Abra Kadabra!" Nothing. "No, Alakazam!" A beam of energy comes out and hits Ms. Delmas.
"Good but not good enough!" Ms. Delmas flies at Dante and knocks him down. "Die!" She strikes Dante sending him to Earth. "No, no!" Ms. Delmas sees Sanne is only a few meters from the activated Tower but smiles when the Overbike is destroyed by a Mega Tank blast. "Mine." Ms. Delmas runs over to Sanne who was dodging Mega Tank blasts.
"Sanne!" Ark throws his spear at Ms. Delmas and hits her. The spear pierces her and goes through into the ground.
"That almost hurt." Ms. Delmas rips the spear out of her body and throws it back at Ark. Ark pulls back on his disc and blocks the spear but is hit by a Mega Tank blast sending him back to Earth.
"Now that I am free to make you mine I will have you!" Ms. Delmas laughs as she advances on Sanne.
"Forget someone?" Sanne points to the right and Ms. Delmas looks only to be hit from the left by Skitz on the Overboard. Sanne runs into the Tower. She floats up to the second platform and puts her hand on the screen. "Tower deactivated." The screens fall around her. "No need to do a return this time." Sanne sends Skitz then herself back to Earth.
"I can send myself don't worry." Dante hugs Sanne. "I'm glad you're all ok." He smiles at the others. He was scared that Xana would get Sanne once he saw all but Skitz was on Lyoko with Sanne.
"Ok, we'll see you later today. Almost time to get up for school anyways." Sanne yawns. She and the others walk over to the sewer entrance as Dante swings down on the ropes to go to the elevator. Krieger looks up and thinks he sees a shooting star until he notices something.
"Sanne, what is that?" He point at the object as it gets larger and larger. "I don't think this is good."
"Dante!" Sanne runs back to the Factory entrance yelling for Dante. "Dante, launch a return!" He doesn't hear her since he was already in the elevator going down to the Control Room. Sanne gets her phone out and calls Dante. "Dante, Xana's attack, we stopped him but it's still going on, launch a return!"
"Ok Sanne." Dante's fingers fly over the keyboard and soon the white bubble comes up reversing time thus stopping a captured NASA rocket from crashing into the Factory.
Sanne is tossing and turning in bed before waking up. "Not this time." She looks at her clock and sees it is a little before five in the morning. "I can trust the whisper but I can't go to the Factory yet. After school." She lies down not noticing someone else was awake.
"What whisper?" Skitz says this to herself so Sanne doesn't hear her. "What is she talking about?" Skitz thinks about this until the alarm goes off telling her to get ready for school.
