"Krieger what are we going to do?" Sanne and Krieger were lying on a patch of snow in the woods. "Sora knows and I don't know how. Xana must have done something to her."
"Remember Xana sent her to Lyoko. Why would he want her to know about him and Lyoko? About us? To hurt us?"
"I, wait, she's been to Lyoko before like you said but why? I mean, what point is there to send her to Lyoko so she remembers? He sent her to Lyoko." Sanne sits up in the snow and looks over at Krieger. "That's how she knows, how she remembers. I'll have to set up the return to include her like I include our parents." Sanne shakes her head. "How could I have been so stupid? This is how Ms. Delmas joined out parents." Sanne clenches her hand into a fist.
"I didn't think about it either Sanne. So she's known for almost a month. Even if we blank her memory now she will still remember what she learned before." This was a problem.
"I could do a few returns but that would make Xana too strong. If she doesn't tell anyone we're safe. If, if she tries to blackmail us…" Sanne doesn't finish her sentence as Krieger sits up and kisses her.
"It's ok Sanne. Sora, she's a nice person. I don't know why she attacked you though. Maybe Xana did do something to her." Krieger remembers the Sora he dated. Could breaking up with Sora really mess her up that badly? "Is there anyway to check that Sanne?"
"Yes, yes there is. If we tell Sora we're letting her in then I can get her in a Scanner. I'll run a scan of her and look for anything off. Then I can scan her again and maybe blank her memory of Lyoko."
"How?" Sanne shrugs her shoulders. "If you delete her memory it would be bad." Krieger didn't want Sora to be hurt. He still liked her, as a friend, and if it was Xana's fault he really didn't want her to be hurt. "Run some tests first then we can let Sora in, kind of."
"Ok." Sanne shivers. "I'm getting cold how about we go to the gym?" Krieger nods and stands up. He gives Sanne a hand up. "I can't believe it is November already. Soon Christmas will be here."
"Yeah. Do I have to get you a Christmas gift or just a card?" Sanne stares at him. "I mean, you know, you already have everything and then some. What can I get you that you don't already have?"
"How about a Christmas date?" Sanne kisses Krieger lightly on the lips. "And I'll get you something else."
"Ok, sounds like a plan." Krieger hugs Sanne then kisses her on the lips a little harder than she had kissed him.
"I'm already warming up." Sanne blushes bright red. Sanne and Krieger had been kissing more but Sanne still blushed uncontrollably when things started to get romantic. "Let's go to the gym."
"Ok Sanne." They hold hands as they go to the gym.
The next day Sanne is at the Factory in the Control Room. "Ok Dante step in the Scanner." Dante had been brought to Earth to help Sanne and to taste chocolate. Sanne had been trying to help Dante do everything possible on Earth and tasting different things, like chocolate, was part of that. "Close your eyes, let's see." Sanne scans Dante then looks at the information on the screen. "Ok, and since I already know how to make people who go to Lyoko be affected by the return to the past I just need to…" Sanne's fingers fly over the keyboard. "That would work. Now I just need to reverse what I did." Sanne changes things back so Dante wouldn't be affected. "Ok Dante, come back up." Dante takes the elevator up.
"Did it work Sanne?" She nods. "Good. Do you have anymore chocolate?" Sanne smiles and pulls out a candy bar. "Yummy." Dante was developing quite the sweet tooth.
"Be careful Dante or you will get pimples." Sanne laughs at the joke but Dante shakes his head.
"Scanners fix that."
"What?" Sanne thinks about it. It would explain why all of the pictures of her parents when they were teens never showed a pimple. "Wow, and I bet it fixes your teeth so you can eat all the candy you want." Dante nods his head as he takes another bite out of the chocolate candy bar. "I guess we can scan Sora whenever. I'm going to call Krieger." Sanne gets her phone out and calls Krieger. "Krieger, I've done the tests, bring Sora here now."
"Ok Sanne. Let me find her and bring her there."
"Ok, see you soon."
"Yep." They hang up. Krieger puts his math book away then leaves his room to go to Sora's room.
"Yes?" Sora was working on homework when there was a knock at her door. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Krieger." Sora gets up and opens the door for Krieger. "Um, we need to talk Sora."
"Ok, come on in." Sora lets Krieger into the room then closes the door behind them. This should be good.
"Um, we know you know about what we do." Krieger spills it all out figuring that would be the best way.
"What was that?"
"We know that you know. About Xana and Lyoko and stuff. We want to bring you into the group."
"Really!?" Sora smiles. "I, sure Krieger. What do we do?" Sora had been spying but still wasn't sure about everything.
"Come with me." Krieger leaves Sora's room and Sora follows him into the woods. "We're taking a sewer passage to a Factory. Normally I'd take my skateboard but since you're on foot we're walking."
"Is this sanitary?" Sora looks around the sewers as they walk. "This isn't a trick is it? Not going to throw me in the sewers are you?" Krieger shakes his head. "Why the sewers then?"
"It's the only safe way to get to the Factory. Sanne will explain everything once we get to the Factory."
"Sanne? She's there?" Krieger nods. "Why?"
"She was working on something with Dante." Krieger is getting tired of all the questions but knows Sora will soon be a non-threat. "They were probably working on a Lyoko program for you since I've been bugging her to let you in." Krieger lies trying to keep Sora from wondering why she was being let in suddenly. "I guess she knew you would say yes."
"What is it exactly that you do?"
"You wouldn't believe me."
"I'm following you through the sewers because I know about Xana and Lyoko. What they are I'm not sure but I know about them. Please tell me Krieger trust me I will believe you."
"Ok." Krieger begins to explain Xana, Lyoko, his parents, and now. "And now we are fighting him."
"Wait, Franz Hopper, who was that again?"
"Sanne's grandfather, he made the Super Computer, Lyoko, and Xana." Krieger had opened a whole new floodgate of questions.
"Wait I thought Jim was her grandfather."
"Well, technically he is, I guess. Franz killed his wife to make the Super Computer then sent Aelita, his daughter and Sanne's mother, to Lyoko. Her memory was taken so our parents didn't know about Franz Hopper until right before Xana got the Keys to Lyoko and escaped. It also turned out that Sanne's grandmother was somehow infected by Xana and became Xana. She killed Franz Hopper who was hiding on Lyoko. Later she was saved and ended up marrying Jim." Krieger sighs. "I know it's really complicated and hard to explain."
"And your parents fought this Xana thing for years?" Krieger nods. "Wow, they must have been really brave."
"They were, and are."
"Why don't you tell them?"
"Because they fought Xana once they don't need to fight him again. It's our fault he escaped and we will be the ones to stop him."
"So, like, what does Xana look like?"
"Right now he has Ms. Delmas as a host." Sora stops walking and looks at Krieger. "He possesses people, makes them his host. Xana is a virus so he infects others. He was using Dante as a host but then he got transferred into Ms. Delmas after he failed to make Sanne his host."
"Dante?"
"His son, kind of, and Ms. Delmas's son, really." Krieger now has to explain who and what Dante was.
"So that was the boy Sanne was hanging out with at the pool?" Krieger nods. "So he's like half human?"
"I think more like eighty percent human. His dad was Xana's host at the time and Ms. Delmas did give birth to him. But part of him is, was, something like that of Xana. It's really complicated I know." As they continue to talk Krieger is starting to have doubts about the plan. They could make Sora a new member. She could help them fight Xana and be able to protect her from whatever Xana had done to her. Sora couldn't be the one attacking Sanne all the time it had to be something Xana did to her. Krieger knew Sora and she wasn't like that. "Any other questions?" Krieger should have kept his mouth shut because Sora did have more questions to ask. Many more questions to ask Krieger.
At the Factory in the Control Room Dante and Sanne are waiting for Sora and Krieger. "I don't believe I've ever seen her, have I?" Sanne nods her head. "When have I seen her?"
"She was sent to Lyoko remember?"
"That's the girl?" Sanne nods her head again. "I see. Well, are you sure you can make her forget about Lyoko without destroying her mind?" Sanne nods her head again. "Are you positive?"
"Only fools are positive." Sanne could do this she knew it but she wasn't about to say she was one hundred percent positive on that. Anything could go wrong when dealing with the Super Computer.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." Sanne shakes her head. "I mean yes I'm sure I can do this without hurting Sora."
Krieger and Sora get to the Factory. "Follow me Sora. We have to jump down." Krieger jumps and swings down to the Factory floor. Sora follows behind him to the elevator. "Get on." Krieger was still debating about what to do. Sora could help them fight Xana. If she was in the group they could keep an eye on her and keep her safe from Xana. "Get ready to be amazed." The elevator doors open after it gets to the Control Room. "Hi Sanne, Dante. I brought her." Krieger walks out of the elevator and Sora follows him.
"Hi Krieger." Sanne looks over at Sora. "Hello Sora. Take the elevator down to the next room then get in the middle Scanner."
"The big tube that sends you to Lyoko?" Sanne nods. "Cool." Sanne gets back on the elevator and takes it down to the Scanner Room. When she steps off the elevator she sees the three Scanners. "Wow."
"Sanne, wait." Krieger puts a hand on Sanne's. "Maybe we could make her a new member." Sanne stares at him. "Listen to me, give me five minutes." Sanne growls at him. "No, don't be mad. Just listen to me."
"Fine, five minutes." Krieger tries to explain to Sanne the benefits of keeping Sora's memory and letting her into the group. "You're not doing her any good. She attacked me and it wasn't Xana!"
"We, we don't know that Sanne. I know Sora better than you. Xana has done something to her. If we let her in the group she will know of the threat and be protected. Sanne I say we call the others and vote on it."
"Hello?" Sora was standing in the middle Scanner waiting for the doors to close. "What's going on?"
"Step out of the Scanner!" Krieger had grabbed the headset from Sanne and yelled into it.
"Give that back to me!" Sanne grabs the headset from Krieger. "Sora get back into the Scanner!"
"No! Come back up and don't listen to Sanne!" Krieger and Sanne wrestle for the headset. Krieger pins Sanne when the elevator doors open and Sora steps out of it. "We're voting on it." Sanne looks over and sees Sora.
"Sora, we didn't bring you here to let you into the group but to delete your memory! Krieger was in on it!"
"What!?"
"No, Sora, I changed my mind." Krieger has to struggle to keep Sanne pinned to the floor. "I'm going to call the others and we'll vote on whether or not to let you in. If they vote no then you can go but…" Krieger is cut off by Dante grabbing him and pulling him off of Sanne.
"You're hurting her!" Dante is surprisingly stronger than Krieger. "Call the others but know my vote and Sanne's vote is no." Dante lets Krieger go. "Sanne are you ok?" Dante helps Sanne up.
"I can take care of myself Dante." Sanne shrugs Dante's hand off. "I know Skitz will say no. Leaving Ark and Mira left to vote yes. But wait, that will make it a tie, she's not in." Sanne glares at Sora.
"Delete my memories? Like I'd let you do that to me now!" Sora walks over to the elevator ready to leave.
"Don't leave Sora." Krieger stops her. "Ark and Mira will vote for you. I, I can convince Skitz." Krieger gets his phone out and calls Ark. "Ark, get to the Factory, now. We're voting on Sora."
"What? Sora? Wait, I thought we were going to delete her memory." Ark is heard by Mira.
"What's going on?" Ark puts his hand up motioning to Mira to wait. "Ark what was that about Sora?" He waves his hand again trying to get her to be quiet. "Ark just…" He puts his hand over her mouth as he listens Krieger.
"We'll be there." Ark and Krieger hang up. "Mira, Sora, well Krieger wants to vote on her."
"What? But we can't let her in. She attacked Sanne! What is he thinking?" Mira shakes her head. "We can't let her in Ark. She attacked your friend, my friend, we can't let her in."
"Just listen to what Krieger told me and I'm sure you will change your mind Mira." Ark and Mira leave Ark's dorm room and run to the Factory. Ark explains to Mira what Krieger told him along the way.
"Hello?" Skitz was working on her homework with Barack. "Krieger what is it? If it's you know what then, um, give me a minute."
"Skitz, we're voting on brining Sora into the group." Skitz nearly drops her Jcell when Krieger tells her this.
"What!? Are you nuts?" There was no way Skitz would let Sora into the group. Sora had attacked her best friend.
"No, listen to me." Krieger explains to Skitz what he had explained to Ark. "Ok? Come to the Factory."
"Fine, I hate you." Skitz hangs up on Krieger. "Barack I'm sorry but…" Barack puts a hand on her mouth.
"You have to leave me, again. Of course you can't tell me why you have to leave me. Go Skitz." Barack closes his Italian book and stands up. "I'll work on my homework in my room if whatever you're doing doesn't take too long." Barack leaves Skitz's room in a mood.
"I'm sorry Barack." Skitz leaves her room heading to the Factory. She has no idea what to say or do. She hated Sora for attacking Sanne but Krieger made several good points.
"Don't let her delete my memory." Sora, Krieger, Dante, and Sanne were all arguing with each other.
"We'll do whatever the hell we want! You attacked me!" Sanne wants to push Sora but knows Krieger would probably stop her. "You attacked me more than once! You admitted it!"
"I, you said you weren't going to mess with me and Krieger then the next thing I know he's dumping me for you!"
"That wasn't Sanne's fault that was mine." Krieger tries to calm the two down but it doesn't work.
"Shut up!" Both girls yell at Krieger. "I loved Krieger and you broke us up!" Sora points at Sanne.
"He only went out with you because he couldn't have me! I was too stupid to see what I had! But then I figured that out and I, shut up Sora!" Sanne knew it sounded bad what had happened.
"Sora please if you fight like this they won't say yes." Krieger tries to get between Sanne and Sora but when he does he accidentally pushes Sanne. Dante pushes Krieger away from Sanne.
"Don't hit Sanne just because you want her in our group!" Now Krieger and Dante were yelling at each other.
"I didn't hit her you hit me!" Krieger pushes Dante.
"Don't hit me!" Dante pushes Krieger. "Stay away from Sanne!" Dante gets in front of Sanne to protect her.
"Shut up Dante!" Krieger gets in front of Sora. "I won't let you two Frankenstein's mess with Sora!"
"She attacked me!"
"Because Xana did something to her! I know he did. I know Sora and she wouldn't just attack you because she was jealous! If we take her to Lyoko, if she fights with us, she will be safe!"
"Well Sora? Did you attack Sanne because of jealousy?" Dante crosses his arms and stares at Sora.
"I, no, I don't think so." Crap, I did but I can't let them know. "I don't know why I did. I would just see Sanne and get mad. I'd lose control and attack her. I'm sorry Sanne I don't think I meant to."
"See? Xana did something to her and you want to delete her memory! We'll vote on this and if the majority agrees to it she's in!"
"Sanne and I are the best at using the Super Computer. We can just delete your memory of this argument."
"Shut up Dante." Krieger clenches his right hand into a fist. "You only side with her because you have a crush on her!"
"Why aren't you on my side? Sora attacks me and you say you love me yet here you are sticking up for Sora. If you want to break up with me so you can go out with her again just say so!"
"I don't want to do that Sanne but I don't want you to delete Sora's memory. We need help fighting Xana. Sora already knows about him. I say we use this to our advantage and let her in."
"Didn't you always say you never wanted her in so she wouldn't get hurt!? What changed Krieger?"
"She was hurt! Xana's possessed her and he obviously did something to her!" Krieger takes a step towards Sanne but Dante blocks him. "Dante get out of my way!" Krieger tries to get past Dante but Dante pushes him. Krieger responds by punching Dante in the face.
"Son of a bitch!" Dante squeezes his hand and a spark of energy comes out. "Don't hit me!" Dante swings at Krieger but he dodges it. Dante continues his swing and nearly hits Sora.
"Dante stop it!" Sanne saw another spark of energy form around Dante. "Calm down you are losing control."
"He hit me!" Dante was losing control as a few more sparks of energy form around him.
"Dante stop, please." Sanne hugs him. "I don't need you to protect me. Krieger wouldn't hurt me, physically." Sanne glares at Krieger making sure to add the physically at the end.
"Fine, I'm sorry Sanne." Dante calms down. "You hit me. That's not a good way to get me to change my vote."
"I don't want or need your vote. It's Sanne's vote I want." Krieger goes to Sanne now that Dante wouldn't attack him. "Sora can help us. We, she's been possessed by Xana and hurt by Xana. If she is in the group she won't be in as much danger. At least she will know what is going on."
"She attacked me more then once. I don't think I can trust her Krieger. She should have her memory deleted."
"Sanne I'm sorry for attacking you!" Not. "But I, I'm not going to let you delete my memory."
"It's not up to you." Dante looks at Sora. "If Sanne and the others vote no then your memory will be deleted so you can't tell anyone else about this, about us." Dante's head snaps as he turns towards the control panel.
"It's the alarm." Sanne brings up a screen and the security camera shows Ark and Mira getting to the Factory. They get on the elevator and take it down to the Control Room where the others wait for them.
"Hey, hi Sora." Ark waves to her. "How's it going?"
"I, um, hi. Well, I think." Sora looks at Sanne. "I, well, she wants to delete my memory but I'm not going to let you guys do that to me."
"Ark, Mira, what do you vote?" Krieger crosses his fingers hoping they will say yes to let Sora in.
"Well, it would be nice to have another member. Fighting Xana when he tries to keep us away from Lyoko so he can get Sanne will be a lot harder if Sora was in the group. I say sure, let her in." Ark votes yes making it two to two.
"I, well, yes. Sanne we need the help. It took what, eight people to beat Xana last time? And two of them were adults."
"Nine, counting William."
"Well, yeah. I vote yes." It is now three to two. The last vote, Skitz Della Robbia's vote would decide it.
A few minutes later Skitz gets to the Factory and goes down to the Control Room. She gets off the elevator and sees Mira, Ark, and Krieger standing around Sora while Dante and Sanne stand next to the computer chair. "Um, we're voting on Sora right?" Sanne nods. "I, well, she would help us out I guess." Skitz looks at Sora then at Sanne. "But she attacked my best friend." Skitz walks over to Sanne. "I vote no. We're not letting her in."
"Fine but you're not deleting my memories!" Sora goes to the elevator to leave when Skitz stops her.
"We're doing whatever it takes to keep you from telling anyone." Skitz and Sora fight with each other.
"Stop it!" Dante grabs Sora from behind in a bear hug. "We're only deleting the parts of Lyoko and Xana that you remember. Be a good girl and go down to the Scanner Room."
"Let me go!" Sora struggles but Dante is too strong.
"Let her go!" Krieger wasn't going to let Sora be treated like a lab mouse. "Dante let her go!" Dante does but turns towards Krieger.
"Or what? You'll fight me? You'd rather the person who has attacked and hurt Sanne several times be a threat to us than make the problem go away?" Dante advances towards Krieger.
"No I'd rather we not mess with Sora's brain! Back off Dante before I hurt you!" Dante responds to Krieger's threat by pushing him. "Do that again Dante and you will need a Scanner." Dante pushes Krieger again so Krieger swings at Dante. Dante blocks the punch and goes to punch Krieger in the stomach when Krieger blocks it. The two fight as the others yell at them to stop.
"Stop it! Both of you!" Sanne doesn't want the two to fight. It is upsetting her but the two continue to fight each other. Dante knees Krieger in the stomach. Krieger elbows Dante in the face breaking his nose. Dante responds with a head butt as a spark of energy forms.
"You're bleeding Dante stop this!" Skitz reaches for Dante but is shocked by the energy coming out of Dante.
"Dante stop you're losing control!" Sanne goes to calm him down but is knocked backwards when Krieger tackles Dante.
"I told you to leave me alone or you'd need to use a Scanner!" Krieger punches Dante hard in the face. "You stupid…" Dante sparks with energy shocking Krieger knocking him off of Dante.
"Dante stop it!" Sanne crawls over to Dante not having gotten up from being knocked down. She hugs Dante then whispers into his ear. "Calm down, breath, relax. You're ok, I'm ok." The energy goes away and Sanne releases Dante. She has his blood on her shirt. "Krieger what was that?"
"He attacked me! You saw him. I wasn't about to let Dante hit me and let him get away with that." Krieger stands up and sees he has blood on his shirt. Knowing none of it was his he smiles. "Dante, you're stronger then me but I'm a better fighter. Next time take heed to my warning and back off." Krieger turns his head when he hears the elevator running. In the chaos of the fight Sora had gotten to the elevator and escaped. "Good she got away."
"Krieger, Dante, stay here and don't fight." Sanne goes over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator comes down and Sanne gets on it. "I'll get Sora and get her back here."
"You mean you're going to lie." Krieger reaches for his cell phone to call Sora when Skitz grabs it out of his hand. "Give that back to me!"
"No way." Skitz breaks the Jcell. "Go get her Sanne." The elevator doors close and Sanne goes after Sora.
"You're buying me a new one."
"Make me Krieger. I can't believe I wanted Sanne to go out with you. You don't deserve her." Skitz's words make Krieger mad but he doesn't do anything. Sanne was mad at him for what he did and didn't want to do anything else to make her mad. "Come on Sanne." They wait for Sanne to get Sora.
"Sora!" Sanne runs after her. "Wait!" Sora is running away from Sanne and doesn't see the black mist come out of a light post. "Sora watch out!" But the black mist wasn't after Sora it moves to a passing car and attacks it. The car stops then starts to change. The wheels grow to form arms and legs. The front of the car changes and the headlights move together. Sanne and Sora can hear screaming as the driver forces the door open and jumps out.
"Aaaa!" Sora screams as the car monster completes its transformations and the headlights look down at her. "Sanne what do I do!?"
"Run!" Sanne and Sora run away from the car monster.
"Crap." The Super Scan beeps in the Control Room alerting the group of an activated Tower.
"Skitz since you broke my Jcell you have to call Sanne." Skitz gets her Jcell out and calls Sanne.
"Sanne there's an attack."
"I know!" Sanne and Sora were still running away from the car monster. "Get to Lyoko and deactivate the Tower!" Sanne jumps out of the way of an oil glob being spit out by the car monster.
"Ok we're going." Skitz and Sanne hang up. "Sanne's being attacked we have to go without her."
"Dante send us." Ark goes over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator comes down and Ark with the others gets on it. They take it down to the Scanner Room.
"Ok get ready." Dante is sitting at the computer chair ready to send the others to Lyoko. "Transfer Ark, Transfer Mira, Transfer," Dante pauses. "No we need him, Transfer Krieger. Scanner Ark, Scanner Mira, Scanner Krieger, virtualization." They land on Lyoko as do the vehicles. Dante sets up the auto transfer program then takes the ladder down to the Scanner Room. Dante and Skitz get in the Scanners and soon land on Lyoko in the Mountain Sector. "I'll ride on the Overboard with Skitz." Dante and Skitz were mad at the others, especially Krieger, for voting yes on Sora. "We need to go north to find the Tower." The others get on their vehicles and take off north on the narrow paths of the Mountain Sector for the activated Tower.
"Sora run away!"
"No way Sanne I'm not leaving you alone to fight this thing!" Sora dodges an oil glob. "We should go into a building or something!"
"If we go into a building it will still come after us! We can't let anyone else get hurt by it!" Sanne sees a sewer cover. She wants to try and get it off but it would take to long and the monster would catch her and Sora. "Sora if we split up it can only chase after one of us!"
"Fine Sanne but don't say I didn't warn you!" Sora runs down another road as Sanne runs down another. The car monster turns and chases after Sanne. "That idiot is going to get killed." Good, let her. Sora shakes her head. "If I help her maybe I won't get my memory deleted. I have to help her." Sora turns around and runs after Sanne and the car monster.
Back on Lyoko the Lyoko Warriors are looking for the activated Tower. "The pulses merge right around here." They look around but don't see any Towers. "Dante use your powers to feel for it."
"I already thought of that Krieger." Dante snaps at Krieger. "I don't know where the Tower is."
"Maybe Xana made it invisible." Ark creates his spear and throws it but doesn't hit anything. "And um, not solid."
"Dante," Skitz whispers to him. "You used to be Xana. Wouldn't he know where all of the Towers are?"
"Yes but I'm not Xana anymore."
"Don't you have his memories?"
"I have some of them. Well, technically I have all of them but it is like trying to find a single line in a thousand page book and you don't even know what chapter the sentence is in."
"Well we know the, chapter, would be Towers. There is a Tower around here so look for a memory of the Towers." Dante closes his eyes and searches his memory for something that would help. Images flash in his mind of Towers. Towers hidden in Ice, under platforms, the one in Sector 5 and more. He concentrates and finally an image flashes into his mind.
"Skitz fly down over the edge." Skitz listens to Dante's orders and flies over the edge. They fly around and finally see a hidden tunnel. "It's in there." Skitz and Dante fly into the tunnel.
"Where did they go?" Ark flies over the edge on his disc and sees his sister and Dante flying into a tunnel. "Guys get down here!" Ark flies down to the tunnel and the others follow him.
"Whoa." The tunnel continues with many twists and turns. Skitz hears a buzzing noise and after making it around a corner she sees three Hornets. "Dante be careful." Skitz dodges lasers and soon makes it past the Hornets. They chase after her firing lasers and acid at her and Dante.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam but the Hornets dodge it. He goes to energy orbs firing them out of his wand. It slows the Hornets down enough that Ark sees them.
"Whoa!" Ark is now in danger of Dante's energy orbs. He uses his spear to block them but in a tight turn the spear hits the walls and clotheslines Ark. "Aaaa!" Ark flies off his disc and starts to roll down the tunnel.
"There's an opening." Skitz flies out of the tunnel and finds herself over the Digital Sea. She sees three more tunnel openings. "Dante which one!" Skitz dodges lasers wondering what to do.
"The left one!" Dante is still firing energy orbs at the Hornets when he sees Ark roll out of the tunnel and fall towards the Digital Sea.
"Help!" Ark is free falling towards the Digital Sea.
"Ark!" Mira flies out of the tunnel on the Overwing and sees him. She dives towards him but isn't going to make it.
"I got him!" Krieger flies by on the Overbike. "Ark give me your tail!" Ark unwraps his tail from around his waist and stretches it out towards Krieger. Krieger reaches for Ark's tail but misses it. "Hold it still Ark!" Krieger tries to grab it again but misses. "Hold it still!"
"I'm trying!" Ark looks down and sees the Digital Sea rushing up towards him. "Catch me!" Ark closes his eyes mere meters from the Digital Sea. He expects to feel pain or something but then realizes he isn't falling. He opens his eyes and sees the Digital Sea. He smiles as he sees his reflection in the Digital Sea. "You can pull me up now Krieger."
"Can't you do it on your own?" Krieger was having trouble controlling the Overbike with one hand while hanging onto Ark's tail. "Come on monkey boy Skitz and Dante are still being chased by those Hornets."
"Coming." Ark struggles but is able to grab his tail then climb up it. He gets on the back of the Overbike. "Thanks buddy."
"Your parents would kill me if we lost you in the Digital Sea." Krieger and Ark go into the right tunnel. Unfortunately Dante and Skitz went into the left tunnel as Mira went into the middle tunnel.
On Earth Sanne is running towards the skate park hoping to lose the car monster. It fires an oil glob and it hits her on the back. "Aaaa!" Sanne falls forward. She tries to get up but the car monster fires another glob of oil. This one hits her legs. Sanne struggles to get up but slips and falls.
"Die or join me Sanne." A tire arm reaches down towards Sanne. It tries to picks her up but someone saves Sanne, Sora!
"Stay away from her!" Sora pulls Sanne up. "Sanne get out of here." Sora is now covered in oil. "This stuff better come out." Sora pushes Sanne trying to get her to run when the car monster strikes Sora.
"Stay out of this!" The car monster pins Sora down on the road. "You are not a part of this!" The car monster pushes on Sora's stomach knocking the wind out of her. "Don't interfere or I will hurt you." The car monster lets Sora goes and chases after Sanne who was running for the skate park.
On Lyoko Krieger and Ark fly out of the Tunnel into another open area over the Digital Sea. "Where did they go?"
"I don't know Krieger I was busy praying to Buddha or Shiva or whoever would listen to save me."
"Crap." Mira comes out of another tunnel area and sees the two boys. "Where are Skitz and Dante?"
"We don't know." Krieger and Ark look around. "There was another tunnel back there wasn't there?"
"Yes, I think so." Mira, Ark, and Krieger head down a tunnel going back to try and find Skitz and Dante.
Back on Earth Sora was trying to catch her breath while chasing after Sanne and the car monster. She stops and breathes deeply. "Maybe it would be better if I didn't join them." Sora was having doubts about joining the group after the car monster knocked the wind out of her. "No, I have to join them. I can't get Krieger back if my memory is blanked, deleted, whatever it is that Sanne and her friend Dante were going to do to me." Sora runs after Sanne and the car monster.
Back on Lyoko Skitz and Dante are flying down the tunnel with one Hornet left shooting lasers at them. "Are we there yet Dante?"
"Almost." Dante fires more energy orbs at the Hornet but it dodges them. "Where did the others go?"
"I don't know but the Tower better be unguarded." They fly down the tunnel dodging the lasers.
Back on Earth Sanne has made it to the skate park but there were a lot of people there. She couldn't let anyone else get hurt. "There has to be a sewer entrance around here." She sees one and runs for it. She gets to the cover and as she's pulling it off the car monster catches up to her. She is hit with an oil glob. "No, have to get away!" She struggles and gets the cover off. She goes to climb down the ladder but slips on the oil and falls to the sewers below. "Aaaa!" She chokes on oil as the car monster spills gallons of oil down on to her.
"No, crap." Sora catches up to the car monster and Sanne. "Stay away from her!" Sora throws a rock at the car monster. It turns around and sees Sora. "Leave her alone!"
"Foolish girl stay away! You are not my target!"
"You've possessed me before! I heard them say you did. I don't want my memory to be blanked."
"I see. You want to be in the group? You want to put yourself in danger, for what?" The car monster walks towards her. "What do you get out of this? Except pain and terror?"
"I, none of your business!" Sora backs away from the car monster. "Just, leave, leave Sanne alone!"
"Sora…" Sanne can hear Sora yelling. "Get away." Sanne rolls over trying to get up but slips on oil.
"I'll kill you girl. If you had just run away you would be fine but you dare interfere with my business!" The car monster advances on Sora. "For that the punishment is death!"
"Only if you can catch me." Sora runs away from the car monster. The car monster chases after her.
Back on Lyoko Skitz and Dante see the end of the tunnel. "Got it!" Dante finally destroys the last Hornet.
"Then why do I hear buzzing?" Skitz and Dante fly out of the tunnel into a chamber. "There's the Tower!" Skitz points to the activated Tower as Dante sees why Skitz still hears buzzing.
"Hornets!" There were a dozen Hornets flying near the top of the chamber. "Alakazam!" An energy beam comes out and destroys two Hornets. "Be careful Skitz!" Dante nearly falls off the Overboard when Skitz dodges lasers. Skitz does a flip and Dante has to hang onto Skitz to keep from falling off of the Overboard. "Just get me to the Tower!"
"I'm trying!" Skitz is concentrating on dodging lasers. "Dante take my clubs and block those damn lasers!" Dante reaches around and pulls Skitz's clubs out. "Extend them so you can block more!"
"Uh, extend." The clubs extend and Dante blocks the lasers.
"Slow down you two!" Mira was falling behind the other two as the Overbike was faster than the Overwing.
"We have to help Skitz and Dante!" Krieger didn't want to help them he wanted to make sure Sanne was safe. He knew Dante only went with Sanne because he had a crush on Sanne. Skitz was probably voting no for a legitimate reason but she didn't understand what Krieger though. Whether Xana had something to do with Sora's actions or not wasn't a guess to Krieger. He knew Sora and knew she would never have attacked Sanne. Heck Sora told the older students to leave Sanne alone when they picked on her after they broke up. It had to be Xana's influence on Sora that made her attack Sanne. "Hurry up Mira or I'll leave you behind!"
"I can't go any faster!"
"Then I'm leaving you behind!" Krieger revs the engine of the Overbike trying to go as fast as possible.
On Earth Sora was trapped in an alleyway by the car monster. "I told you to leave me alone but you had to interfere! Now you will pay for your actions!" The car monster goes to crush Sora when someone yells.
"Sora over here!" Sanne's head pops up from a sewer entrance. "Get over here!" Sora runs over to the sewer entrance and climbs in.
"Thanks Sanne." Sora climbs down the ladder as the car monster looks over the sewer entrance.
"Damn you! I will make you pay!"
"Bite me Xana! I'm not about to let you hurt my friends girlfriend!" Sora makes a rude hand gesture to the car monster.
"Really? Very well." There is a grinding noise then something drops out of the car. It bounces off the sewer floor…
"Drop!" Sanne tackles Sora as the block bounces into the sewer water and reacts violently with it. "He dropped the Hydrocell into the water. We're lucky it didn't explode." Sanne looks into the water and sees it is boiling as it reacts violently with the Hydrocell. "We better get out of here."
"Right." Sora and Sanne get up then run away as the water starts to boil more creating large bubbles of Hydrocell water that would burn the human flesh if it were to come in contact.
On Lyoko Skitz is being kept from the activated Tower by the Hornets. "Where the hell are they?!" Skitz had been hit twice but keeps flying the Overboard knowing she had to get Dante to the activated Tower.
"Ta da da! The Calvary is here!" Ark throws his spear at a Hornet and destroys it. "Krieger I'm getting off here." Ark jumps off the back of the Overboard and flies through the air. He catches his spear and twists in mid air. He throws his spear at another Hornet destroying it. "Woo hoo!" Ark flips and lands on the bottom of the chamber.
"Eat shield!" Krieger throws his shield and destroys two Hornets before catching it. He uses it to block lasers as he chases after the Hornets swinging his sword at them. "Get back here!"
"Wait for me!" The Overwing comes out of tunnel with no rider apparently. Two Hornets see the Overwing but don't see a rider so aren't worried about it until they are destroyed. Mira takes her stealth off as she chases another Hornet. "Skitz there are only four left get Dante to the Tower!"
"I'm still working on that!" Skitz was having an easier time but two Hornets weren't leaving her alone.
"Skitz you did a good job." Skitz turns to ask what Dante meant when she sees him jump off the back of the Overboard.
"Dante!" She turns to go and get him but the Hornets hit her with lasers and send her back to Earth.
"That idiot!" Krieger flies after Dante as the Hornets fire lasers at Dante. Dante doesn't attempt to dodge them just focuses on his landing.
"Ouch!" Dante is hit and he loses his concentration. He goes through the Tower wall at mid level and continues to fall. "No I can't fail!" Dante reaches out and grabs the platform. "Pull yourself up. You can't fail Sanne!" Dante struggles to pull himself up. "That was close."
On Earth things were getting worse. The Hydrocell had the entire sewer water boiling. "Aaaa!" Sora is hit with a bursting boiling bubble and her skin is burned. Sanne reaches towards her to see if she was ok but Sora pushes her against the wall. "Stay behind me Sanne!" Yes, protect her, make her trust you. "I won't let you get hurt. I won't let you blame me for that."
"I wouldn't do that Sora." Sanne was amazed by what Sora was doing. She was acting like the Sora that Krieger knew.
"The Tower is deactivated." The screens fall around Dante. "Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes out reversing time.
"Don't hit me!" Dante holds his nose after Krieger punched him. "Wait, the return, Sanne are you ok?" Dante turns to Sanne and she nods then does something surprising to all in the room. Sanne walks over to Krieger.
"I, I vote to let Sora into the group."
"What? Sanne she attacked you!" Skitz can't believe Sanne would let Sora, Krieger's ex girlfriend, into the group.
"Xana did something to her. If I scan her I can fix it." Sanne couldn't believe what Sora did. Sora protected her, saved her, multiple times. "Krieger, escort Sora down to the Scanner Room so I can scan her."
"Ok, thanks Sanne." Krieger kisses Sanne then leads Sora over to the elevator. The elevator takes them down to the Scanner Room and Krieger leads Sora over to the middle Scanner. "This is it Sora."
"I know. Thanks." Sora hugs Krieger then walks into the middle Scanner. The doors close then open. "That's it?"
"I, I guess. Sanne what did you do?"
"Scanning Sora will heal anything wrong with her. It should also help build up a resistance to Xana's possessions. Come back up."
"Ok." The two in the Scanner Room go to the elevator and take it up to the Control Room. "Well, what now?"
"Now we wait for the next Xana attack I guess."
"You can wait for that but I feel like going back to Lyoko." Dante goes to the ladder and takes it down to the Scanner Room. He gets in the middle Scanner and Sanne sends him back to Lyoko.
"Why did he go to Lyoko?" Sora didn't understand what just happened.
"He lives there." Sanne gets out of the computer chair and sees the stare from Skitz. "Um, you guys go, I want to talk to Skitz alone. Then um, Krieger, Sora, want to go to the gym?"
"Sure Sanne!" Sora smiles at Sanne. I better behave for awhile to make sure they don't delete my memories.
"See you then Sanne." Krieger hugs and kisses Sanne then gets on the elevator followed by the others. They take the elevator up to the Factory floor then leave the Factory going in separate directions.
"Why did you want to talk to me alone Sanne?" Skitz crosses her arms and stares at Sanne.
"I, well, please listen to me. I know you don't like Sora and well, I don't really like her but she protected me. Krieger thinks she was affected by Xana and if she was then she wasn't at fault for attacking me. I don't know if that's true but after scanning her she should be ok."
"You could have deleted her memories Sanne. Make her think we were letting her into the group but delete her memory."
"I can still do that. If she turns on us I'll delete her memory and make it so she doesn't even remember what her name is."
"How do you think you'd get her in the Scanner after she turned on us or took Krieger from you?"
"I added a little something when I scanned her. If I enter a code into a Way Tower I can delete her memory." Sanne sighs. "I want to trust her but our parents trusted Ms. Delmas and look what happened with her."
"Exactly. If this back fires on us I'll blame you Sanne. I don't want to have to fight a new Knight of Xana because you changed your mind." Skitz goes over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator comes down and the elevator doors open. "You're my best friend Sanne and I love you like a sister, well, better then a sister since I can't stand my siblings. But I'll still kick your ass if Sora turns on us." Skitz gets on the elevator and leaves the Control Room.
"Yeah, I love you too Skitz but you can't kick my ass." Sanne shakes her head. "Don't say that Sanne." Sanne was getting a headache. "Dante are you there?" He doesn't come up. "He's mad at me to. Good job Sanne." Sanne goes over to the elevator and waits for it to come down.
