Sanne was talking with her grandfather. Krieger and her were fighting and Skitz was busy trying to keep her relationship with Barack from falling apart so she couldn't talk to her. "Sanne dear I'm sure things will be ok." Jim hugs her shoulder. "Back when I was young I dated several people when I was in school. It's a natural thing to date more then one person while growing up. You're far too young to be worrying about things like this Sanne. Odd Della Robbia dated dozens of people before he found the right one." Jim tries to cheer Sanne up. "You know what? How about a story? Get your mind off of this."
"I don't want to hear about Xana."
"No this has nothing to do with those stories. This is a true story. When I was teaching here even before your parents went to Kadic Academy we had a science teacher who was in a car accident. He had his teeth knocked out. Now instead of getting dentures you know what he did?"
"Grandpa I heard this story. The guy gets metal teeth and hears radio stations on them and goes insane." Sanne rolls her eyes. "Everyone has heard that Urban myth. That's not a real story."
"It is a true story! And how would that drive him insane? I like listening to the radio. I'm telling you it was the metal. Iron and stuff shouldn't be put in your body at high amounts. Of course when he was sent to the mental ward it allowed Mrs. Hertz to work at the school." Jim tells Sanne a few more stories before letting her go to her dorm room.
"Skitz?" Sanne hears crying when she gets to the door. When she opens the door she sees Skitz is on her bed crying. "Skitz what's wrong? What happened?" Sanne sits down next to Skitz.
"He broke up with me!" Through the sobs Skitz tells Sanne what had happened. "Then, then he broke up with me." Skitz continues to cry. "It's all Xana's fault! I tried but couldn't keep it together."
"Um, it's ok Skitz. Uh, when people grow up they date lots of people. Your dad dated dozens of girls before he met your mom. I mean, he uh, you know. I'm sure it will work out for the best."
"Shut up! You and Krieger are just fine and here I am…" Skitz stops when she feels Sanne's hand on her neck squeezing it. "Ow!" Skitz knocks Sanne's hand away. "What was that for?"
"Me and Krieger aren't just fine!"
"What? But, you two," Skitz looks up at Sanne and sees the look on her face. "What happened?"
"I, he, you know what."
"Oh, the Sora thing." Skitz sits up in her bed. "I'm so sorry." Skitz hugs Sanne as Sanne hugs Skitz. "Men, they're the cause of all our problems. Why don't we just get rid of them?" The two laugh feeling a little better.
"Yeah, why do we need men?" Sanne laughs a little more. "All they do is make us miserable."
"Those bastards." Skitz hugs Sanne harder. "We don't need them do we? We do well enough on our own."
"Well, we need Krieger to fight Xana." Skitz and Sanne laugh. "It was a big mistake wasn't it? I never should have let Krieger break up with Sora. I never should have um, you know." Skitz shakes her head.
"No. It wasn't a mistake Sanne. You two really like each other but Xana messed things up just like he messed things up between me and Barack." Skitz sighs. "You two will work things out."
"I don't know anymore. I, I thought I liked him, loved him, but I, if I can't trust him." Sanne doesn't know how to put it into words. "Skitz, um, remember when you read my diary?"
"I only read part of it."
"I said that, that if you had kept reading you'd um, have read something else." Sanne pulls away from Skitz and looks at her.
"That makes sense. If I had read more I would have read something else. What's your point?"
"Well I, um, Skitz." Sanne gets red in the face.
"What Sanne?" Skitz is confused. Sanne looks at Skitz and clears her throat. "What is it?"
"I, um, well I…" Sanne is interrupted by the Super Scan. "Crap, Xana is attacking." Sanne gets off the bed and goes over to her Jtop. "Desert Sector. Call your brother I'll, no, you call Krieger I'll call your brother." Sanne gets her phone. "Ark, Xana is attacking. Is Mira there?"
"Yes she is. We'll be there."
"Ok." Sanne and Ark hang up. "Did Krieger answer?" Skitz nods. "Ok let's go." The two girls leave their dorm room and head for the Factory. "Wait, um, let's wash our faces first." Sanne didn't want the boys to know that she was crying. "Unless you want your brother to know you were crying like a little school girl with a skinned knee."
"I'm sure he'd let me forget about it in a year or two." Skitz and Sanne stop at the girls' shower room and use the sinks to wash their faces. "What was it you were going to say Sanne?"
"Forget it." Sanne and Skitz run out of the girls' shower room.
Across the city there is a breakout at the mental institution. "Not another one!" They had lost Elisabeth Delmas only a few weeksbefore and now another much older patient was breaking lose. "Get the tranquilizer gun! We need to stop him before he gets past the gate."
"Out of the way!" The patient knocks a guard out of the way.
"This can't be happening. He's in his sixties!" A guard goes to use a shock prod on the patient but the patient uses his metal teeth to bite through it. "No, stop, aaaa!" The patient attacks the guard.
"Hurry." Sanne and Skitz get to the sewer entrance in the woods. "Sanne you have to get to the Factory."
"I know." Sanne knew Skitz was trying to get her to tell Skitz what she was going to say before the Super Scan went off. "I hope the others are ok." Sanne didn't know what the attack was. While she didn't know Krieger was about to find out what it was.
"Who are you?" Krieger was headed for the sewer entrance in the woods when someone called out for help. Krieger found the person but the person wasn't making any sense. "Sir what's wrong?" Krieger kneels down next to the person when the man looks at him and Krieger sees Xana's symbol.
"His problem was being insane! He was too weak to resist me!" Xana doesn't want the new Lyoko Warriors to know he was able to posses people at will yet. "Now his problem is that he has to follow my orders!" The man Xana possessed starts to laugh as he attacks Krieger.
"Holy hell!" Krieger sees something he wasn't expecting, metal teeth. The possessed man tries to bite Krieger. "Hai!" Krieger kicks the man in the face. "I don't mind playing Xana it means Sanne and the others will be ok." Krieger was mad at Sanne for not trusting him but he still cared for her. "Besides Xana you're weak. You had to posses a man who was insane." Xana's lie had worked. "Come on Xana you can do better then that!" Krieger knees the possessed man in the gut then goes for a punch to the back of the head when the possessed man moves faster then normal and grabs Krieger's arm. The possessed man bites down on Krieger's hand and his metal teeth bites through it. "Aaaa!"
"Not so weak now am I?" The possessed man spits out half of Krieger's hand. "That looks bad, let me heal it." The possessed man sparks with energy and it shoots out at Krieger's hand.
"Aaaa!" Xana burns Krieger's hand causing the bleeding to stop but causing more pain.
"Now I could let you go or I could hurt you some more Krieger. How about I make it so you can't go to the Factory?" The possessed man attacks Krieger again and after wrestling on the ground the possessed man bites Krieger's other hand clean off at the wrist.
"Aaaa!" Krieger grabs at his hand after the possessed man spits it out but can't grab it since his other hand had already been bit in half. The possessed man sparks with energy and burns the stump that was Krieger's hand.
"Try lifting the cover now!" The possessed man laughs. "Or try climbing a ladder with no fingers." The possessed man disappears into the woods as Krieger cries in pain on the ground.
Ark and Mira are near the Factory after getting the call at the pool. "What the heck is that?" Mira sees something on top of the bridge.
"I'm guessing that's the attack." Ark looks around for a weapon. "Stay back Mira." Ark can't find a weapon but the possessed man sees Ark and Mira. "Crap, Mira, wait for it to attack me then run for the Factory."
"Ark please don't do anything stupid." Mira is worried about what the attack would do to Ark.
"I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you and the others can get to the Factory." Ark gets in a fighting stance when he sees the monster jump off the top of the bridge. "Get ready Mira."
"Hello Ark." The possessed man chuckles as he walks over to Ark and Mira. When he gets close Ark and Mira can see the blood on his clothes. "Who is my next victim?"
"What did you do? Who did you attack!?" Ark yells at the possessed man trying to give Mira a chance to run to the Factory.
"Krieger. He won't be joining you on Lyoko." The possessed man smiles and shows off his metal teeth covered in blood and pieces of flesh sticking out.
"That's messed up." Ark backs away a little. "Like that urban myth story." The possessed man laughs.
"Urban myth? Do I look like an urban myth? I am urban fact!" The possessed man attacks Ark and Mira runs for the Factory. "And you are going to lose this time! Sanne will be mine!" Ark and the possessed man continue to fight as Mira makes it to the Factory.
Sanne and Skitz make it to the end of the sewer passage. Sanne climbs out of the sewers and is splashed with something. "Ew, what is this." Sanne looks down at her shirt and realizes it is blood. She looks around but doesn't see anything. "Skitz be careful." Sanne keeps looking around but doesn't see anything. "I don't know what is going on but we have to be careful.
"Ew." When Skitz climbed out she put her hand in a puddle of blood. "I don't know who this belonged to but this isn't good." Skitz climbs all of the way out of the sewer only to be hit from behind.
"Skitz!" Sanne sees the possessed man with blood all over his clothes and face. "You stay away from her!" Sanne gets into a fighting stance. "You won't fight me will you? Xana wants me on Lyoko."
"Very good Sanne but you are too late." The possessed man smiles and Sanne sees his metal teeth.
"Metal mouth! But, you're, that was an urban legend. Just a story." Sanne backs away as the possessed man walks towards her.
"I am urban fact! That's what I told Ark anyways." The possessed man laughs. "Poor Ark. He had so much blood in him it did take awhile." The possessed man opens his mouth and blood pours out.
"No, you bastard!" Sanne attacks the possessed man. She knows it won't bite her since Xana needed her on Lyoko.
"Get to Lyoko and deactivate the Tower or else Krieger and your other friends will die!" The possessed man uses his Xana powers to knock Sanne off of him. "Hell I'll even let this one go. No bite, no shock. This man may be insane but it is still hard to control him." Xana lies to Sanne to make sure she wouldn't discover his ability to posses anyone he wanted. "Just go to Lyoko so I can posses you and make you my host!" The possessed man laughs.
"Leave her alone!" Sanne runs into the Factory. When she jumps to swing down on the rope she sees Ark and Mira.
"Come on Ark we're almost there." Mira was dragging an unconscious Ark over to the elevator leaving a trail of blood behind her.
"Mira I'll help." Sanne grabs an arm and helps Mira drag Ark over to the elevator. They take the elevator down to the Control Room. "Go down to the Scanner Room while I bring Dante to Earth so I can send him under his mage profile." The elevator doors close and the elevator goes down to the Scanner Room. When the elevator doors open Mira sees Dante stepping out of the middle Scanner. "Help Mira with Ark ok Dante?" Dante nods and helps Mira drag Ark over to the right Scanner and get him inside of it.
"We're ready Sanne." Dante and Mira step into different Scanners and wait for Sanne to send them to Lyoko.
"Transfer Dante, Transfer Mira, Transfer Ark, Scanner Dante, Scanner Mira, Scanner Dante, virtualization." They land on Lyoko as the vehicles appear. Sanne sets up the auto transfer and soon sends herself to Lyoko next to the others. "The Tower is north of here."
"Wow, thanks Sanne." Ark checks himself out to make sure he was ok. "Where's Skitz and Krieger?"
"I made a deal with Xana. I'd go to Lyoko and he wouldn't hurt Skitz." Sanne doesn't reply about Krieger as she runs over to the Overbike. "Hurry! Who knows what he will do next!" Sanne takes off for the Tower as Ark gets on his disc as Mira gets on the Overboard and Dante on the Overwing.
Back on Earth the possessed man has taken Skitz up to the roof of the Factory. "Great view isn't it Skitz?" They can see the main part of the city. The tall buildings, the floating platforms used to transport people from building to building without going onto the streets. Blimps and floating bill boards advertising all kinds of products. "Enjoy it while you can. Once I have Sanne as my host I will kill you. I'll probably just crush your heart instead of ripping you in two like I did last time." The possessed man laughs as Skitz cowers in fear.
Back on Lyoko the Lyoko Warriors have already seen the Tower but now the big problem came. Three Assassins and a Dragon along with the Schipizoa. "If I could become invisible this would be easier." Sanne tries to think of a way to get to the Tower Sanne looks over at Mira. "Go invisible. We'll distract the monsters then try and destroy as many as you can ok?"
"Ok, stealth." Mira becomes invisible.
"Mira, get off the Overboard. Let Dante get on it." Sanne isn't sure if Mira got off the Overboard until Dante gets on it. "Ok, we'll fly around while you get closer." Sanne activates the flight controls on the Overbike. She then closes her eyes and starts to charge energy in her mouth. She takes off into the sky and as she gets closer to the activated Tower the Assassins and Dragon start shooting at her. "Scattershot!" She fires an energy beam and it splits apart into fourteen beams. The Assassins and the Dragon dodge the beams but it did distract them.
"Got my spear." Ark uses his spear to block lasers as he waits for Mira to attack the monsters.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam at the Dragon hoping to hit it but misses. "Alakazam!" He fires another energy beam then waves his wand so the energy beam sweeps across the sky.
"Scattershot!" Sanne fires an energy beam that breaks apart into eight beams overall. The Dragon tries dodging all of the energy beams being fired at it but can't and Dante destroys it.
"Gotcha!" Mira attacks the Assassins and is able to destroy one before the other two starts shooting in her general direction.
"Mira!" Ark throws his spear at an Assassin but misses when it dodges the spear. "Stay back until you get a chance!" Ark dives on his disc unwrapping his tail from around his waist. He dodges lasers and when he gets close wraps his tail around the leg of an Assassin. He drags it away from the activated Tower leaving the last Assassin and the Schipizoa.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam at the last Assassin but makes a mistake of hitting Mira.
"Aaaa!" Mira is sent back to Earth.
"Sorry!" The last Assassin turns and fires at Dante. "Sanne help! You distract and I'll head for the Tower!" Sanne nods and starts to charge energy in her mouth. "Whoa." Dante dodges lasers as he dives towards the activated Tower when a massive beam of energy flies by him and distracts the last Assassin. "Thanks Sanne!" Dante dives into the activated Tower. He runs into the middle of the platform and moves up to the second platform.
"Aaaa! No stop! Let me go!" Sanne had been distracted by the last Assassin when the Schipizoa attacked her from behind. Sanne goes limp as the Schipizoa starts to transfer Xana into her.
"The Tower has been deactivated." The screens fall around Dante. "The others were hurt I need to launch a return." Dante uses the control panel to launch a return to the past.
"Oh, um, hi Sanne." Skitz sits up in her bed as Sanne runs into the room. "Are you ok?"
"I was checking on you." Sanne sits down on the bed next to Skitz then hugs her. "I'm sorry about Barack."
"He doesn't deserve me if he can't understand that I have to run off in the middle of a date because you called." Skitz laughs and hugs Sanne back. "What about you and Krieger?"
"I don't know. I, I want to talk to him but after what I did I don't think he'll listen to me. That and I, I'm confused about something." Sanne pulls away from Skitz. "I, I'm not sure how I feel anymore."
"Sanne, Krieger still loves you. He might be mad you didn't trust him but if you talk to him he'll understand. And if he doesn't you can beat it into him." Skitz laughs as does Sanne.
"Yeah, ok." Sanne looks away from Skitz. "I, um, I'm still confused but I know I like Krieger." She closes her eyes wondering about other thoughts and feelings going through her mind and heart.
"You are so cute Sanne."
"What?"
"You're so cute when you do that. No wonder Krieger loves you." Skitz smiles and laughs. "If you do that in front Krieger he'll beg you to forgive him even though he did nothing wrong."
"Yeah, hopefully. I feel so stupid though. I should have listened to him and believed him when he said there was nothing between him and Sora, anymore." Sanne gets off the bed then leaves the room.
At the gym Krieger is talking with Sora. "I don't know what's going on. Sanne's mad at me for something I didn't do." Sora pats him on the back. "I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't listen."
"It's ok Krieger." Sora hugs him. "I'm sure things will fall as they're supposed to." Sora sees the gym door open and sees it is Sanne. "Like if breaking up with me was a mistake then we can get back together." Sora keeps hugging Krieger and watches Sanne's reaction. Sora smiles when she sees Sanne turn around and run out of the gym. "But if you're supposed to be with Sanne then that will happen too. Just let things work out on they're own." Sora let's Krieger go.
"I guess. Thanks Sora for letting me talk to you about this. You're a good friend." Sora smiles.
"I'm a great friend. Right now I want to be a training partner. How about it?" Krieger nods and they go into the exercise room.
A/N Sora makes an appearance at the very end and messes things up more! Poor Skitz. Will she get back together with Barack? Will things ease between Sanne and Krieger or will Sora tear them apart? And what will Xana do next? Read to find out!
