Things were bad for the group and were getting worse. Skitz wouldn't talk to Sanne and Barack wouldn't talk to her. He was mad that Skitz's promise of not running off so much was broken so soon after getting back together. Skitz was mad at Sanne for letting Sora in and mad at everyone else for letting her in. This left Skitz with one person to talk to. "Dante I can't see why she'd let Sora in!"
"Neither can I. Sanne's decision making has been poor." Dante was on Lyoko talking to Skitz through the screen. "Do you know who Franz Hopper is?" Skitz nods, of course she knew. "Sanne has been helping him."
"What?"
"He is still alive somewhere and has been working with Sanne." Dante hadn't told anyone because Sanne asked him to but he felt he had to. Sanne was making one bad decision after another.
"But, he, he killed Sanne's grandmother and sent Aelita to Lyoko."
"I know." Dante and Skitz continue to discuss Franz Hopper and Sanne and what to do about both.
Sanne is in a bad mood. She had another nightmare the night before but Skitz wouldn't talk or listen anymore. "Krieger doesn't want to hear about it. Maybe Franz will care." Sanne was going to the Factory later to work with him on a program to detect possessed people. If it worked she'd be able to use her Jpocket to discover a possessed person. This way if Xana steals a Tower or uses the one in Sector 5 she'd be able to at least detect the attack if it is a possession. Xana did those attacks a lot with her parents and Sanne figured to make it a little safer for her and the others. "Nearly noon I need to get up." Sanne was tired from waking up in the middle of the night.
Sora and Krieger are in the gym. "Are you sure? I, I don't like want to be a hazard." Sora was training with Krieger and discussing Lyoko. "I don't even know what I will look like on Lyoko."
"Your subconscious will choose for you. I am a knight, Ark's a giant purple monkey, Skitz is like a futuristic knight, Mira's a scumbag ninja, Dante's a wizard and Sanne," Krieger stops. He and Sanne were getting along but he felt something was there. Sanne told him it was nothing but Krieger sensed something was wrong. "Well Sanne looks like an elf supermodel."
"Wow. A couple questions, why is Ark a giant purple monkey and Sanne an elf supermodel?"
"Ark didn't want to look like a giant purple cat." Krieger grabs Sora and flips her onto the mat then pins her. "And Sanne says she doesn't know why she landed on Lyoko like she did."
"I hope I don't look too freaky." Krieger gets off of Sora then helps her up. "What powers do you have?"
"I have a power called Super Leap. I don't use it much because well, I forget." Krieger laughs. "When I'm in the heat of battle with an Assassin or Dragon all I can think about if fighting and protecting Sanne."
"That's scary. Does it hurt a lot?"
"Not really. The lasers do burn but when you're fighting you can ignore it. It's all about getting either Sanne or Dante to the activated Tower and protecting Sanne from the Schipizoa."
"The what? Uh, which monster is that again?"
"Giant flying jelly fish. Xana uses it to try and posses Sanne so he can make her his new host." Krieger and Sora go over to the bleachers and sit down.
"It's all so dangerous."
"It is Sora but Xana attacked you before. I wanted to make it so you would at least know about it." Krieger thinks of the time Xana made him choose between Sora and Sanne. Krieger didn't know Sora had already been possessed by Xana and Sora didn't remember.
"Thanks. I'm sorry you and your friends are fighting."
"It's just Skitz really."
"What about Dante?"
"You said friends, I, well, don't like him." Krieger shakes his head knowing he shouldn't be jealous or wary of Dante. Sanne loved him not Dante but he knew Dante had a crush on Sanne.
"He does seem a little weird." Sora thinks about Dante. "Why is Sanne always brining him chocolate?" They had taken Sora back to the Factory and explained to her about the Scanner and the Super Computer. Dante had come to Earth and Sanne gave him chocolate candy bars.
"He has a sweet tooth." Krieger clenches his fist. He didn't like chocolate but if Sanne brought him some he wouldn't turn it down. "Maybe she's awake now. Sleeping in until noon on a Saturday." Krieger laughs and gets his phone out of his gym bag and calls Sanne. "Hello sleepy head."
"Be quiet." Sanne rubs her eyes trying to get the sleep out of them. "What are you doing?"
"I'm with Sora at the gym since you were sleeping."
"You called? I never heard the phone ring."
"Skitz answered it and said you were sleeping and some other things." Skitz tore into Krieger still mad at him.
"If you give me a few minutes I'll go to the gym. A good exercise bike race would be fun." Sanne yawns. "Ok?"
"Sure, see you soon Sanne, love you."
"Love you too Krieger." They hang up.
"Aw you two are so sweet. If I took a bite out of you I'd get diabetes." Sora mock bites Krieger. "Bleh, sweaty."
"I'm glad you're fixed. I knew it had to be something Xana did to you." Krieger smiles at Sora. She hadn't attacked Sanne or even said anything mean about Sanne since she had been scanned.
"I'm glad you changed your mind and didn't let them delete my memory." Krieger looks away. "I'm not mad at you I know you were going along with it but you did change your mind."
A few minutes later Sanne gets to the gym already wearing her gym clothes. "Who's ready for a race?"
"I am." Krieger goes over to Sanne and kisses her. "I would say good morning but its already past noon."
"I didn't get much sleep last night." Sanne hadn't told Krieger about the nightmares. Normally Skitz would listen to her but Skitz was mad at her for letting Sora into the group. "Hi Sora."
"Hello Sanne. Ready to lose?"
"I'm a lot better then I was the last time we raced." The three go into the exercise room ready to race on the exercise bikes.
Back at the Factory Skitz and Dante are still talking. "I can't believe her! Franz is the man who caused all of this!"
"I know Skitz and I tried to talk her out of it but she won't listen to me. Maybe you can talk to her and convince her."
"I'm not talking to her."
"This is more important then being mad at her. We need to make her see how dangerous working with Franz Hopper is."
"She let Sora in! Sora attacked her and Sanne lets her in! I can't believe she is so stupid. It's Krieger's fault. If he just sent her into the Scanner we'd be done with Sora. But no he has to do a vote and let her in."
"I didn't want her in either. I don't want anyone else stuck in this fight against Xana. It's dangerous for you and the others enough as it is not to have some, some, rookie going to Lyoko."
"Why I voted against Mira."
"She's helped though. And Mira never attacked Sanne." Dante turns his head when he feels something. "Skitz there's an activated Tower!" Xana was attacking and soon the Super Scan finds the activated Tower.
"Crap I'll call the others." Skitz thinks about this. "No, let Sanne call them." Skitz was mad at the others.
"Sanne probably already knows and will be calling you soon."
"Maybe Dante. Maybe not." Skitz leans back in the chair waiting for the others to come assuming that Sanne had her Jpocket on her and knew there was an activated Tower.
"Come on Sanne!" Krieger had already made the twenty kilometers and was cheering on Sanne. "She is barely ahead of you push yourself!" Sanne was going as hard as she could but just didn't have enough.
"I win!" Krieger clears his throat. "Ok I got second place." Sora smiles. "Once again you're third."
"At least I wasn't the first person to lose." Sanne laughs as do the others. "Krieger, set the weight bench up ok?"
"Ok Sanne." Krieger goes over to the weight bench as Sanne and Sora watch him. Sanne is about to say something to Sora when she sees something weird. The window in the exercise room let one see a tree on the Kadic Academy campus. Normally it would be green or brown depending on the season but now it was black with white leaves. "Sora do you see that?" Sanne points to the window.
"Whoa, weird."
"What's weird?" Krieger looks out the window and sees the tree. "That is weird. Could it be Xana?"
"My Jpocket didn't go off." Sanne looks for her gym bag then realizes in her tired daze she had just changed into her gym clothes. "Crap, um, you two call the others and I'll go to my room to make sure this is a Xana attack." Sanne runs out of the exercise room as Sora and Krieger go to their gym bags to get their phones.
As Sanne ran for the dorm building she sees another strange thing. The grass around the building was no longer green but white! The building itself was in various shades of black, grey, and white. "This has to be a Xana attack." Sanne gets into the dorm building and finds the inside was also black and white. As she runs for her room she notices she was being drained of color. She gets into her room and hears her Jtop beeping. She sits down and opens it. She sees her reflection. "My hair, no." Her hair was now white. "Deactivate the Tower and I'll be fixed." She sees the Super Scan. "Desert Sector, good." She gets up and runs out of her room.
"What?" Ark and Mira were at the pool. "Damn it. Fine we'll be there." Ark hangs up. "Mira we have to go you know what is going on." Ark sighs. They had just gotten to the pool and now had to run back.
"That sucks." Mira climbs out of the pool. "Have to change."
"Why? It's just a swimsuit."
"Yeah but I don't want to go running around in this. It's still cold out."
"The weather is so messed up isn't it?" Global Warming had destroyed normal weather patterns. Winter could come in December and disappear in January then come back in February. It was warmer then normal, nearly sixty on November seventeenth. "Ok go change." Ark runs into the boys' locker room as Mira runs into the girls' locker room to change.
"About time you guys called." Skitz had been wondering where everyone was. "What took you so long?"
"What?" Ark had been told by Krieger to call Skitz since she probably would answer her phone if it was him. "Where are you?"
"At the Factory. Are you guys coming? The Super Scan has been active for nearly ten minutes."
"Why didn't you tell anyone!?"
"Because Sanne has her Jpocket."
"What if she was the target and couldn't get to her phone?"
"Oh." Skitz hangs her phone up. "Dante they're finally coming. I think Sanne might be the target."
"I'll send myself to Earth then back now so I can have my fighting profile." The screen closes and soon Dante is on Earth. He goes up the ladder and over to the control panel since Skitz wasn't good enough with the Super Computer to send Dante under his fighting profile. Dante hurries down and gets in the middle Scanner and soon the doors close sending him to Lyoko.
Sanne is running for the sewer entrance in the woods when she sees the trees and grass around her turn black and white. "What is he doing? Is he just doing something that people will see?" Sanne was still black and white after leaving the dorm building. "Maybe we won't have to do a return if this is it. Let the scientists figure it out." She climbs into the sewers and gets on her skateboard.
"Whoa." Krieger and Sora get to the end of the sewer passage and climb out to see the bridge, Factory, and water were drained of color.
"Look at the water." Sora leans her head over the side of the bridge and looks down. "That is creepy."
"Sora!" Krieger sees Sora's color drain out of her body.
"What?" Sora turns and looks at Krieger. "Krieger!" She sees the color drain from him. "What is Xana doing?"
"I don't know. I don't feel any different." Krieger and Sora cross the bridge and go to the elevator.
"Krieger and Sora are here." Skitz heard the alarm go off and looked at the screen. "I'm going to have to deal with them." Skitz leans towards the screen. "What is wrong with them?" Skitz is talking into the headset even though Dante wasn't in a screen. The elevator comes down then the elevator doors open. Krieger and Sora step off seeing Skitz.
"Hello Skitz." Sora waves to her but Skitz ignores her. "Are you still mad that I was voted into the group?"
"Yes!" Skitz gets out of the computer chair. "You attacked Sanne, my best friend!" Skitz advances on Sora but Krieger steps in the way. "Out of my way you, freak." Krieger and Sora were black and white.
"Hold on Skitz that was because Xana had done something to her. After being scanned she's healed." Krieger motions to himself. "And Xana did this to me and Sora." Skitz frowns.
"I buy that as much as I buy you choosing Sora over Sanne because you knew Xana wouldn't kill Sanne."
"What?" Sora has no memories of that moment due to being possessed and the return to the past.
"Shut up Sora." Skitz goes back to the computer chair and sits down in it. "Dante are you there?" Dante appears in a screen.
"Of course I'm here Skitz where else would I be?" Dante sees the other two. "Hello Krieger and Sora."
"Hi Dante. Nice outfit." Sora sees Dante's wizard outfit. "Reminds me of Mickey Mouse from Fantasia."
"I've never heard of this mouse. Why would a mouse be wearing clothes?" Sora laughs at first but then realizes Dante is being serious.
"But, Mickey, he's famous."
"My knowledge of the outside world comes mostly from Xana. Obviously he did not consider this mouse to be important."
"Wow." Sora laughs a little. "Dante the next time you come to Earth I'll show you some things I bet Xana didn't think of letting you know."
"No." Dante didn't like Sora either and was getting mad at Krieger. Krieger had hit Sanne. Really it wasn't even a push just Krieger accidentally running into Sanne when trying to get between her and Sora but Dante saw it as hitting Sanne. "Wait for the others."
"I want to go to Lyoko. I don't even know what weapon I have or powers. If I go now I can try and figure it out."
"Fine, go to the Scanners and I'll send you." Sora goes over to the elevator and takes it down to the Scanner Room nervous. She was finally going to Lyoko! She had a few ideas of what to expect but wouldn't know everything until she actually landed on Lyoko for the first time. That she would remember that is. She steps in the middle Scanner and soon the doors close.
"What's going on?" Sora starts to freak out. "Why is it taking so long?" She puts her hands against the Scanner doors panicking. Soon Sora sees a white flash then finds herself in a weird place. "Whoa." She looks around. "Like I'm in a desert. Is the Road Runner here? Beep beep." Sora laughs feeling better. She didn't realize she'd be freaking out like she did.
"Hello Sora, welcome to Lyoko." Dante comes out of the Tower he was staying in. "So what do you think?"
"Amazing." Sora looks down at herself and sees something on her left arm. "I have a crossbow but no arrows." Sora looks at herself some more. She sees a green outfit that reminds her of stories about Robin Hood. "Still don't have any arrows." Sora reaches towards the crossbow with her right hand when an arrow appears. "Now that is cool." She puts the arrow into the crossbow and fires it. "Look at that arrow fly!" The arrow flew so far Sora and Dante couldn't see it. "I bet I could hit you from a kilometer away."
"You won't be shooting me. Xana will send monsters soon. Skitz can you send the vehicles?"
"Yes, I think so." Skitz tries to send the vehicles and is able to send them one at a time. "What's this?" She sees another file. "Don't use? Why not?" Skitz sees what look like boots. "Hey these are Jim's rocket skates. Why can't we use them?" Skitz loads the rocket boots then thinks about it. "Sora I'm sending you something." Skitz virtualizes the rocket boots onto Lyoko. "Try them on."
"Thanks Skitz I knew you were cool." Sora goes over to the rocket boots and puts them on. "How do I make them work?" Sora jumps a couple times but nothing happens. "I don't get it why am I wearing these if they don't do anything?" Sora stomps on the ground but nothing happens.
"Maybe that's why Sanne says not to use them."
"What?" Sora jumps up and down some more. "Whoa!" One of the rocket boots activates and Sora flips over as the rocket boot moves uncontrollably. "Help!" Sora is dragged across the ground as the rocket skate moves out of control. "Dante help me stop this thing!" Sora flails and kicks the ground with the other rocket boot activating it. "Aaaa!" Sora flies up into the air then slams into the ground. She bounces off a rock then slams into the ground again. She continues to bounce off of rocks and the ground until finally she loses all of her life points and goes back to Earth. "Ow, that hurts." Sora stumbles out of the middle Scanner. "Krieger I didn't think it would hurt this much." Sora sits down on the floor as Krieger climbs down the ladder. She sees he is black and white then looks down at herself. She too was still black and white.
"It's ok Sora the Scanners will heal you. The others just got here." The alarm had alerted the others in the Control Room to the arrival of Ark and Mira. "We're still waiting for Sanne though."
"Can I go back?"
"Soon. There is a time limit on how long before you can go back. Just stay there and be okay. What happened to you?"
"The boot thingies went crazy on me. My back hurts. So does my chest, and legs, and arms."
"That will happen." Krieger smiles at Sora. "Just wait until you get hit by a laser and you'll realize that hurts. But when you're in the heat of battle you can ignore it. And with these things," Krieger puts a hand on the middle Scanner. "All injuries can be healed instantly."
"Good." Sora winces and holds her ribs. "Man that hurt." Sora laughs weakly. "I don't want to be hit by a laser."
"Don't worry Sora it will happen and you'll find it is like getting a shot. The anticipation of pain is far worse then the pain itself. So what did you look like?" Sora explains her outfit and her weapon.
"Really? Just don't rob the rich and give to the poor anytime soon." Sora stares at Krieger who laughs. "It was your subconscious that made it for you. You must see yourself as a champion of good fighting evil."
"Yeah, I guess." Sora smiles. "And you're a knight. I guess you see yourself as a champion of good too."
"I guess." Krieger looks up when he hears a noise. "I think Sanne made it." Soon Krieger hears a few yells. "What's going on?" Krieger goes over to the ladder and takes it up to see Sanne standing next to the control panel. "Sanne what happened to you?" She turns to him and sees he is black and white.
"I don't know. The whole dorm building is like this." Sanne motions to herself. "I hope deactivating the Tower will fix this."
"It better Sanne. Sora is like this too and all three of us can't go around like this."
"Then we'll do a return." Sanne goes over to the control panel. "You guys go down to the Scanner Room so I can send you. Wait, what's this?" Sanne looks at the screen. "What happened to Sora?"
"She went then got sent back when the rocket boots went crazy."
"Who sent the rocket boots?" Skitz raises her hand. "I even wrote not to use them. Why did you send them?"
"The vehicles are getting crowded and we'd need room."
"Wait," Sora climbs up the ladder. "When I go back send them again. They caught me off guard that first time." Sora holds her side and winces. "I can get used to them though."
"We can try it but you'll have to wait. Everyone else go down to the Scanner Room and get ready to go to Lyoko." The others get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Ok Sora watch and see." Sanne's fingers fly over the keyboard. "Transfer Krieger, Transfer Mira, Transfer Ark, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Mira, Scanner Ark, virtualization." The three land on Lyoko. "Skitz, Sora's countdown is almost over so if you wait a few minutes I can send us all at the same time."
"No, send me now or don't send me." Skitz growls. "Not being sent with that, that, grrr." Skitz gets in a Scanner.
"Transfer Skitz, Scanner Skitz, virtualization." Skitz lands on Lyoko next to the others and soon the vehicles appear. "Sora and I will be there in exactly two minutes. Just have to wait for the countdown." Sanne takes the headset off. "Are you ok Sora?" Sanne had noticed Sora was in pain.
"I'm ok. I was pretty beat up by the boots." Sora laughs then winces when the laughing causes her ribs to hurt more. "How do you guys handle this day in and day out?" Sora winces in pain again.
"It isn't day in and day out. Usually two, maybe three attacks a week. And the Scanners heal us or a return is done." Sanne looks at the countdown. "Bring the elevator up then get ready." Sora goes over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator comes up. "And go." Sanne starts the auto transfer then runs over to the elevator. Sanne and Sora take the elevator down to the Scanner Room then run over to the different Scanners. The Scanner doors close and they land on Lyoko next to the others and the vehicles.
"Wow, cool outfit." Krieger sees Sora and comments on her outfit. "You're right like Robin Hood."
"Hey there Sir Lancelot. And there's the wizard Merlin. And, whoa." Sora sees Sanne. "What the heck is wrong with your subconscious?"
"Nothing I don't know why I ended up like this on Lyoko!" Sanne looks at Sora's outfit. "If you're not planning on stealing from the rich any time soon how about we go and deactivate a Tower?"
"Fine." Sora looks around and sees the rocket boots. She goes over to them and puts them on. "Ok, last time they activated when I clicked the heels on the ground." She taps the heels and the rockets appear. "Whoa, hold on." Sora rises into the air. "Ok, lean forward." Sora does and flies forward. "Stop!" Sora leans back and flies backwards. "No stop!" She leans forward and flies forward. "Where do we go Sanne!?" Sora was trying to control the rocket boots but failing.
"North." Sanne and Krieger get on the Overbike as Ark gets on his disc, Skitz on the Overboard, and Dante with Mira on the Overwing.
"Which way is north on here?" Sora was still flying around randomly since she didn't know how to stop.
"This way." Sanne and the others take off and soon Sora turns herself to follow after them.
On Earth more and more color was being sucked out and now even the white and grays were disappearing. "This can't be happening." Jim sees the dorm building turn completely black then it disappears! "We have to evacuate the school." The dorm building had already been evacuated but other buildings were black and white. "Why won't she answer her phone?" Jim had tried to call Sanne several times but there was still no answer.
Back on Lyoko Sora had passed Mira and Dante. "Ha I'm faster then you!" Sora laughs as she was getting better control of the rocket boots. "That flying board looks cool though."
"It's called the Overboard!" Skitz glares at Sora. "And it's mine." Skitz was faster than Sora and stays ahead of her.
"I didn't say I wanted to ride it just that it was cool." Sora flies back to the Overwing. "What's her problem?"
"She's selfish." Mira looks at Skitz. "And possessive."
"She doesn't like people who attack Sanne." William looks at Sora. "And I share the same feelings."
"Sorry I don't, I already, forget it." Sora flies away from the two. He'd be cute if he wasn't so mean. "Are we there yet?"
"No. You'll know when we get there." Sanne looks around. "Xana's waiting for us at the Tower."
"Hopefully Sora will be able to help. We should have taken her to Lyoko before to train." Krieger looks back at Sora.
"And give Xana a reason to attack?" Sanne tightens her hold on Krieger's waist. "She'll do fine if she doesn't panic." They get closer to the Tower as things on Earth get worse.
Jim had called Samantha and told her about what was going on. "I felt Xana's presence. This, but how?"
"I don't know Samantha. I can't get a hold of Sanne either. Do you think she turned the Super Computer on?"
"Even if she did how would Xana have escaped the Tower?"
"I don't know but I'm worried. I have to help evacuate the school so you have to go to the Factory."
"Ok Jim. Be safe."
"You too Samantha." They hang up and do what they needed to do.
Back on Lyoko the group sees the activated Tower. "That's a Tower? We must have passed three of them on the way here."
"That's an activated Tower. See the black aura around it?" Sora nods. "That means Xana's attacking and I or Dante need to get inside of it and deactivate it." Sanne looks around for the monsters. "Too easy there has to be a monster somewhere." Sanne's words seem to be heard by Xana as two Mega Tanks and a Dragon appear. "I should learn to shut up."
"Don't worry we have everyone this should be easy." Krieger gets his sword and shield out. "Sora the big round things are Mega Tanks. One hit from them and you're going back to Earth. The other monster is a Dragon. They're fast and they're lasers hurt but they're big targets. Aim for the Eye, that symbol, and they'll blow up."
"Ok." Sora had gotten the hang of the rocket boots. "Let's see what he makes of me." Sora reaches her right hand towards her left hand and an arrow appears. "Cool." She aims it at a Mega Tank and fires. The arrow bounces off and flies away. "I didn't do anything."
"You have to wait for them to open up." Ark creates his spear. "Go after the Dragon we'll take care of the Mega Tanks."
"Whatever you say." Sora starts firing arrows at the Dragon but it dodges all of them. "How do you make them stay still?"
"By not being so pathetic." Skitz gets this shot in as she gets her clubs out. "Sanne and Dante are the only other distance fighters but we need one of them to deactivate the Tower."
"I'll fight." Dante gets his wand out. "Krieger keep Sanne safe."
"Of course." Krieger didn't need to be told to protect Sanne. "Sanne, fire a Scattershot at the Dragon then get ready to take control of the Overbike." Krieger has a plan ready.
"Ok." Sanne closes her eyes and charges energy in her mouth. "Scattershot!" Sanne fires an energy beam at the Dragon and it breaks apart into seven other beams. Sora fires an arrow at the Dragon at the same time and the Dragon can't escape all of the laser beams and the arrow.
"Yes!" Sora's arrow hit the Dragon destroying it. "I did it!"
"Sora watch out!" Sora looks and sees a Mega Tank blast coming towards her. Krieger's warning was just in time as Sora is able to dodge the Mega Tank blast. "Pay attention Sora."
"I was, kind of. Sorry." Sora creates another arrow. "How did they fire a laser if they're closed?"
"They open when ready to fire." Ark flies next to Sora with his spear raised. "They'll open soon."
"I'm ready." Sora has her crossbow pointed at the Mega Tanks.
"Ok Sanne grabs the controls." Krieger jumps off the Overbike and Sanne takes control of it. Krieger runs at the Mega Tanks wanting at least one of them to open. "Come on cowards!" The Mega Tanks answer Krieger's taunt by opening and charging blasts.
"Now!" Ark throws his spear at a Mega Tank as Sora fires an arrow. Skitz dives on the Overboard ready to strike when both Mega Tanks fire. Krieger puts up his shield to block the blasts.
"Got it!" Sora raises her arms in triumph but the Mega Tank isn't destroyed.
"You missed the Eye!" Skitz dives at the Mega Tank Sora fired at and swings her clubs. "I got it." The Mega Tank is destroyed as Ark's spear hits the other Mega Tank destroying it and saving Krieger.
"Go Sanne." Sanne runs for the Tower when the ground in front of her explodes. "Sanne!" Krieger runs over to her. "Are you ok?"
"She'll be fine! Even better when I am inside of her!" Ms. Delmas appears! "Hand her over to me before Sanne gets here!"
"But, she's already here." Krieger gets in a fighting stance.
"No, the true Sanne. She is on her way to the Factory." Ms. Delmas charges energy in her right hand. "Give my host to me now!"
"Never!" Skitz flies at Ms. Delmas but Ms. Delmas sends a bolt of energy out and destroys the Overboard.
"Why do you want her anyways?" Sora was floating back and forth since she wasn't able to stop completely with the rocket boots. "You have an adult body and Sanne's a little kid."
"You do not understand you little shit. I remember you, yes, Sora I remember you. You started a food fight in 7th grade. You vandalized school property later that year. In your 8th year you…" Ms. Delmas is interrupted when Sora fires an arrow at her. The arrow is destroyed by Ms. Delmas's energy. "Just as disruptive as you always were. How could you get in the group? I've had to stop you twice from hurting my future host!" Ms. Delmas throws the energy orb at Sora who dodges it.
"You did something to me!" Maybe, not. Good excuse though. "They healed me though with a Scanner!"
"Lie! If I were to hurt someone it would be one of them! You were nothing but a pawn in my war!" Ms. Delmas laughs. "But even if my future host makes it I'll still have the world painted black. No more colors anymore I want it all to turn black!" Ms. Delmas laughs again.
"Shut up!" Sora fires more arrows at Ms. Delmas but the energy destroys the arrows.
"If you don't want Samantha finding out about you then let Sanne go!" Mira has her Kodachis out.
"Never!" Ms. Delmas flies at the Overwing and Mira not seeing Dante behind her.
"Alakazam!" Dante points his wand from behind and hits Ms. Delmas. "Sanne get to the Tower!" Sanne revs the engine on the Overbike and charges for the activated Tower.
"No!" Ms. Delmas turns and goes to attack Sanne when Sora crashes into her. "Get off of me!"
"No!" Sora puts her right hand over her left hand and creates an arrow. Instead of putting the arrow in the crossbow she shoves the arrow into Ms. Delmas's back. "Leave Sanne alone!"
"So you can attack her?" Ms. Delmas grabs Sora by the neck then leans in to whisper into Sora's ear. "I did nothing to you. You attacked Sanne on your own. I could tell the others."
"They'd never believe you."
"Skitz and Dante would." Ms. Delmas sends energy into Sora destroying her and sending her back to Earth.
"Too late Ms. Delmas." Krieger had watched the fight between Sora and Ms. Delmas. "Sanne made it."
"Damn it you little shits are starting to make me mad!" Ms. Delmas uses her powers to destroy the Lyoko Warriors.
"Ow." Krieger steps out of the Scanner with a burn across his chest. "Sora are you ok?" She nods but her face gives her away. "Sora don't worry the pain will go away with a return." Sora winces. She had been hurt internally by Ms. Delmas. But soon a white bubble comes up reversing time.
"Whoa, cool." Sora finds herself in the gym with Krieger. "Hey it doesn't hurt anymore."
"I told you a return would heal you. Maybe Sanne will be awake now." Krieger goes to his gym bag and gets his phone out. "Sanne you're awake it's a miracle!" Krieger laughs.
"I know." Sanne yawns. "Want me to come to the gym?"
"Sure if you're up for it."
"I'll be there in a few minutes. Love you Krieger."
"Love you too Sanne." They hang up. "So Sora how was your first time on Lyoko?"
"Weird. Really weird."
"Anything like you thought it would be?"
"Nope. That place was amazing. And Ms. Delmas, she, I don't know how to explain it."
"We have to save her." Sora gives a strange look at Krieger. "She didn't choose to be possessed by Xana. We'll save her and defeat Xana one way or another." They wait for Sanne and then go into the exercise room to have another race.
