Sora is watching Sanne and Krieger. They don't know they are being watched and aren't aware of the attack that is about to happen. "Just wait for it. This should be fun." Sora hides behind the door leading out of the movie theater. As Sanne and Krieger walk out holding hands Sora jumps on Krieger's back. "Mine!" Sora makes sure to change her voice to make it look even more like she was being possessed by Xana. "You're mine again!" Sora tears at Krieger's clothes laughing insanely. She doesn't know why she thought this was a good idea or why she even thought of it she just did. And once she did she couldn't stop herself from doing it.
"Xana!" Sanne kicks at Sora since she thinks she is being possessed and being possessed would make Sora nearly invincible to pain. Sanne is surprised when Sora rolls off of Krieger and holds her stomach. "Wait, something's not right here." Sanne goes over to Sora. "I, I think I hurt her."
"Not!" Sora had been hurt but she lies and punches Sanne in the face. People start to crowd around watching the fight as Sora tackles Sanne to the ground and tries to pull her shirt off. This should embarrass her. Sora starts to pull it off when Krieger tackles her.
"Stop it!" Krieger pins Sora to the floor. Sora knew she wouldn't be able to break his pin so she goes limp. "Oh crap." Krieger gets off of Sora. "Sanne, are you ok?" Sanne nods. "I, I don't know what happened to Sora."
"I don't know either. The Super Scan never went off." Sanne takes her Jpocket out and checks just to be sure. "Maybe he stole the Tower or something." Sanne puts her Jpocket away then goes over to Sora. "How do we explain this?" The people who had crowded around to watch the fight start to break up. "I hope security wasn't called." Sanne shakes Sora. "Wake up." Sora's eyes flutter.
"Ow." Sora holds her stomach. "What happened?"
"Xana possessed you but we don't know how. The Super Scan never detected an activated Tower." Sanne helps Sora up.
"I, I was in my room doing homework and now I'm, where am I?" Sora looks around. "Movie theater?"
"Yeah. Um, you want us to walk you back?"
"I, I guess." Sora looks around some more. "I don't remember a thing. I don't think I even saw a ghost or anything."
"It's ok Sora it isn't your fault." Krieger puts a hand on Sora's shoulder. "We better get out of here in case security was called."
"Yeah, we better." I just killed their date, ha! Why did I do this again? Sora shakes her head. "Um, I didn't hurt you guys did I?"
"No, I'm fine." Sanne looks at Krieger who had a scratch on his cheek. "Are you ok?"
"I'm ok." The three hurry out of the movie theater. Someone else starts to follow them.
"Hmmm, interesting idea. Yes, very interesting. But who to use? If it does work it could very well kill the person I use." A black mist continues to follow the three as it thinks about what to do.
Naia and Dante are finally getting out of the movie theater after a commotion kept them from leaving. "I wonder what happened."
"I don't know." Dante didn't want to guess. He realized not to open his mouth except when he absolutely knew it wouldn't be wrong. After his attempt at using a proverb ended in Naia laughing so hard milk shot out of her nose he knew to just be quiet.
"Well, want to get something to eat?"
"Sure. Where do you want to go?" Naia shrugs her shoulders. "Well, um, I don't know."
"You've been saying that a lot. Is there anything you do know?" Naia smiles making a joke but Dante takes her seriously.
"I know that at the speed of light it takes eleven seconds to go to Mars and seven hours to Pluto and that to exceed the speed of light you must," Dante is interrupted when Naia kisses him on the lips quickly. "Oh, sorry." Dante laughs a little knowing he had done something wrong again.
"You're so smart, why don't you go to the school your friends go to?"
"Because Jim is there. Sanne's grandfather would recognize me and then I'd get in trouble."
"Well, you could go to mine. Then we could hang out more."
"And how to explain my living situation? And all my money comes from Sanne and her friends I don't want them to have to spend money on a school tuition and board." Dante wants to stop talking about this. "Naia, um, when I held your hand in the theater was that ok?"
"Well yeah, duh. What, never been on a date before?" Naia laughs but Dante's reaction gets her to stop. "Wait, am I your first girlfriend?"
"I, uh, well. I've been um, hiding and stuff and the only reason I first talked to you was because I thought you were my friend Sanne. I, I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone outside of the group because they worry about someone turning me in." Dante feels embarrassed.
"Ok. Well, don't worry holding my hand is ok." Naia smiles. "No wonder you didn't know…" Naia stops in mid sentence and starts to shake.
"Naia?" Dante doesn't know what is wrong with Naia until Xana's symbol appears in her eyes. "Xana!" Dante pushes away from Naia. "Leave her alone! She's not a part of this!"
"You made her a part of this!" Naia laughs evilly. "Because of you she will be dragged into the fight. Because of you she will be hurt. Just like your other friends. If it wasn't for you they never would have left the Super Computer on. They never would have freed me from the Tower except they wanted to free you. Everything that has happened is your fault."
"Shut up Xana I've been your host before. Your psychological attacks won't work on me."
"I understand. You're not like the others. They are so easily played. But if you saw this girl kissing someone else you would probably know that it was me." Naia tries to punch Dante but he dodges it. "You can try and run but this girl, well, she may not make it. You might want to stay and remember her as she was."
"What are you talking about?"
"I am trying something new." Naia kicks at Dante but misses again. "She may or may not live."
"What are you doing?"
"Something that is very interesting. I hope it works." Naia tries to hit Dante again but he dodges the attack. "I was not able to make her stronger or faster. But if this works, well, the results will be satisfying." Naia attacks Dante again. Dante doesn't want to hurt her and if Xana isn't powering her then he had to pull his punches. They roll around on the ground wrestling with each other when people notice and start to watch.
"Hey, first two chicks now this! Come on, rip the shirt off!" People start to cheer on the fight as the Super Scan finds the activated Tower.
Sanne, Krieger, and Sora are running for the sewer entrance when Sora stops. "Sora, what are you doing?" Krieger stops to see what is wrong when Sora kicks him in the stomach.
"It worked!" Sora grabs Krieger by the head and is about to slam her knee into his face when Sanne tackles her.
"Why do you keep possessing Sora!? And how? You can't possess the rest of us since we've been to Lyoko so many times!" Sora doesn't answer because she didn't know this. She wrestles with Sanne until Krieger recovers and attacks her from behind putting her in a full nelson arm lock.
"I did something to her! And it's all your fault!" Sora struggles but can't break Krieger's hold. "It does seem to make her weaker though. I guess I can continue my other attack." Sora goes limp then falls forward. "What happened?" Please buy it. I didn't know Xana couldn't posses us because we go to Lyoko.
"Xana, he, he did something to you Sora." Sanne helps Sora up. "After the attack I need to scan you and see if I can find out what he did."
"But I, I thought you said the Scanners healed everything."
"I, it does but Xana must have done something." Sanne and the others hear a noise and turn to see Skitz and Barack running for the sewer entrance. "About time you guys got here."
"What are you waiting for? Can't go without my pretty face?" Skitz smiles at the others. "Everyone else coming?"
"I think so. Dante's probably on Lyoko since I called and he didn't answer his cell phone." They get to the sewer entrance and go down.
"Come on don't break them up." Security at the movie theater finally get to the fight and break it up.
"You two what do you think you are doing?" Three security guards are leading the two teens to a back office.
"None of your business." Naia turns and kicks a security guard between the legs. The second one goes to grab her when energy comes out and knocks the security guard out. "Now, where were we Dante?"
"Here." Dante turns and runs away from Naia. He has to get to the Factory and help the others.
"You won't get away that easily!" Naia chases after Dante. She didn't have super strength like a normal possessed person but she was still faster then a normal person and easily catches up to Dante. She tackles him from behind knocking him to the ground. "See? You're too slow Dante."
"Shut up Xana! My friends are already on Lyoko I bet!"
"No, they aren't. They may be on the way to the Factory but no they are not on Lyoko just yet. Before they get there, well, it doesn't matter even if they deactivate the Tower this girl will be my slave." Naia wraps her arms around Dante's neck and starts to choke him.
"Not, possible." Dante struggles. "The Tower being, deactivated, will free her." Dante is strong enough to stand up with Naia on his back. "She won't, be your slave." Dante flips Naia over his shoulder and grabs Naia into a chokehold of his own. "I won't let her be your slave."
"That is not for you to decide Dante." Naia charges with energy and forces Dante to let her go. "What will you do? You must realize that if the others launch a return while I am still possessing her it will mean her enslavement to me will be complete. But if you run away I may get her into some serious trouble." Naia smiles wickedly.
"I, I can do both." Dante kicks Naia hard in the stomach knocking her down. He gets his Jcell out and calls Sanne. "Sanne, Xana's possessed Naia! But he did something so even after the Tower is deactivated she will be possessed. You can't do a return until his possession ends."
"But, how can he do that?"
"I don't know just don't launch a return until I say you can alright?"
"Ok Dante." They hang up. "This is bad. Xana's possessed Naia and did something so that even if we deactivate the Tower she will remain possessed." Sora and Krieger don't know what this means.
"So? We just launch a return right?" Sanne shakes her head.
"If Naia is still possessed when we launch a return then she will remain being possessed by Xana. We have to deactivate the Tower then figure out a way to end the possession."
"Ok, well, where is Naia? I'm guessing she's with Dante." Sora bites her lower lip worried about what would happen if Xana exposed her little trick.
"Dante is fighting her but I don't know how long he can last." Sanne and the other two go even faster for the Factory.
Skitz, Barack, Ark, and Mira get to the sewer entrance in the woods. As they climb down the ladder they hear a yell. "Hello?" Skitz looks around but doesn't see anyone. "We better hurry." Skitz follows the others into the sewers then heads for the Factory.
Dante is running away from possessed Naia and is almost to the sewer entrance in the woods when Naia attacks him again. "Did you think the sewers would give you safety?"
"No, I, stop this Naia. You can fight him."
"You couldn't fight me what makes you think this girl could? Even more since this new possession helps me control her. I may not make her powerful but I have total control even after the Tower is deactivated." Naia sparks with energy ready to attack Dante again.
"Leave her alone! Please Xana, dad, mom. Leave her alone."
"Oh now we're mother and father. Every other time you're an orphan, no parents. I don't think so son." Naia sends an energy bolt at Dante and strikes him across the chest. His shirt is burnt as is his skin.
"Aaaa!" Dante screams in pain.
"How to punish you? Send you to your room? You don't really have a room though do you? Let's make one!" The ground around Dante moves and forms a cube around him with a small window. "Now what else to do to punish you? Hurt this girl? Hmmm, or your friends. Choose, do I hurt this girl or your friends?" Naia smiles evilly. "You must choose Dante."
"I, me, please hurt me."
"Not an option! Now, who do you choose? This girl or your friends? Who do I hurt?"
"My, my friends. They can fight you. Krieger would be able to stop you." Dante hopes this is true.
"Very well then." Naia turns into a black mist and disappears. Dante gets up and goes over to the small window.
"I can't get through. Maybe if I can break it apart some I can get out." Dante tries to make the window bigger but to no avail.
Sanne, Sora, and Krieger make it to the Factory and take the elevator down to the Control Room. "We should wait for the others. No point in sending you two alone." Sanne sits down in the computer chair and looks at the Super Scan. "Desert Sector. Shouldn't be too hard to get to."
"Oh really?" Naia appears! "I may disagree with that."
"Naia, Xana, leave her out of this." Krieger gets into a fighting stance. "She's not one of us."
"I know but there is something special about her. Pink hair, she has pink hair, I only know of three others with pink hair. She must play a part of this somehow!" Naia sparks with energy ready to fight.
"Just because she has pink hair doesn't mean she's related to me or my mom. Are you going to posses everyone who has blonde hair and a purple spot?"
"I, well, I did find one other but the boy was blind and of no use to me. You see, after this, anomaly, appeared I looked for others like her. I found the blind boy and I found a blonde girl who apparently isn't being affected by the returns. But she is a deaf mute. Strange isn't it? People who resemble your parents yet have something wrong with them. Blind, deaf, albino, all defective products wouldn't you agree?" Naia takes a step towards Krieger as energy forms in her hands.
"What? No. It's just a coincidence." Krieger looks over at Sanne hoping she would take the time to get to Lyoko. He didn't want her to get hurt.
"Really? I've had a harder time finding your parents. A common German man and a common Japanese woman with a defect are everywhere. They had nothing about them that was unique. Or Jim Morales. Although if I find a man who has held dozens of jobs but has a defect it would most likely be his defective by product."
"What are you talking about? What defective by product?"
"Don't you see? The return, the return they did after they trapped me. It was massive, the power unlike any other. But it appears to have left behind people like this." Naia motions to herself.
"It's just a coincidence. You're just trying to get us. Too many times have we fallen for your tricks to fall for this trick!" Krieger lunges at Naia but is knocked back by an energy field.
"For once I'm not trying to trick you and you don't believe me. A case of crying duck."
"Duck? I think you mean wolf." Sora looks around for a weapon but doesn't see any. "Some genius you are."
"Shut up girl. You've failed so far and after all the help I gave you."
"What help? They aren't stupid enough to believe anything you say." Sora looks over at Sanne and Krieger. Xana hadn't been helping her, as far as she knew, and hopes the other two believe her.
"Even if you were helping her with something you wouldn't tell us. Xana we've gotten smart about your tricks." Krieger's words reassure Sora. "Lower your shield so I can beat you up!"
"Beat me up? No, you'll hurt Naia. Dante's girlfriend. Why do you think he chose a girl with pink hair Krieger? Because the one he really loves won't have him." Naia laughs a little and looks over at Sanne.
"No because she's the first girl he met outside of the group. I already told him to be careful but he seems to really like her. I can't blame him since she doesn't seem to care he's a homeless orphan and actually likes him." Sanne hopes Krieger won't get jealous about Dante. She knew before they started dating that Krieger was extremely jealous of Dante. "It could have been any girl as long as she talked to him. Heck, I'm not so sure that Dante was so desperate to finally have something outside of fighting you he would have gone out with another guy. He's desperate to have a life away from you!" Sanne starts to get mad as she thinks about Dante and his life. "He wants to fight you and stop you so he can be free! He wants to be a normal person but he can't go to school with us because my grandfather would recognize him as your child! And now you're dragging Naia into this! I hate you!"
"So, truly tell me how you feel." Naia laughs. "He should have known this would happen. He's such a fool to think I would let this girl get close to him and not hurt her. Although they haven't gotten that close from what I've seen."
"You bastard, you're always watching him aren't you?"
"Of course I am he's my son. I, it sounds silly I know, but I have a certain attachment to him. Is it love? I don't think so but there is something there that I can't let go. I did create him, both of us created him. His mother carried him for nearly a month before he was born and killed her."
"Dante didn't kill her you killed her. You programmed Dante to do that." Sanne clenches her hand into a fist. She is about to attack Naia when the alarm sounds alerting her to the other Lyoko Warriors making it to the Factory. "What are you going to do now? Where's Dante?"
"I will do whatever I want and my son is grounded, literally." Naia turns towards the elevator when the doors open. "Die!" She throws the two energy orbs she had been creating at the four in the elevator.
"Duck!" Ark tackles Mira and his sister to the ground but Barack is too slow and is hit.
"Bloody buggering hell!" Barack slams into the back of the elevator. "I mean, um, ow." Barack didn't like speaking British while in France but when he was hit he forgot his Francois and cursed in his native tongue. "Hey, my arms won't work." Barack had tried to get up but couldn't.
"Is that all? I must have held back. Very well I'll do the rest of the damage now." Naia goes to create another energy orb at Barack but Krieger attacks her. "Ready to learn your lesson?"
"Shut up! Sanne, send them to Lyoko then get there!" Krieger attacks Naia again trying to give Sanne time to send the others to Lyoko.
Dante runs and kicks the bottom of the small window and breaks it away a little. He runs and kicks it again and breaks off a chunk of dirt. He continues this until he is able to crawl through the hole. "Have to get to the Factory. Have to make sure Naia doesn't get hurt." Dante runs over to the sewer entrance and climbs down.
Sanne is in the computer chair waiting for Ark and Skitz to get Barack in a Scanner. "Ok, get in." Skitz and Ark do. "Transfer Skitz, Transfer Barack, Transfer Ark, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Barack, Scanner Ark, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Desert Sector. "Sora get in. I'll be right down once I set the auto transfer." Sora gets in the middle Scanner as Sanne sets up the auto transfer and sends the vehicles. She runs over to the ladder and starts to climb down. "Krieger be careful!"
"I'll do what I can." Krieger dodges a charged hand on Naia. "But it will be better if you deactivate the Tower."
"She won't stop. Xana said he would continue to posses her even if we deactivated the Tower."
"Crap." Krieger had forgotten. "Still deactivate the Tower he can't posses her forever without a Tower."
"I can't? Well, I don't know. This is a test, this is only a test." Naia attacks Krieger again.
Sanne climbs down the ladder and gets in the right Scanner seconds before the Scanner doors close. She lands with Sora next to the others and the vehicles in the Desert Sector. "We have to go east, hurry!" Sanne jumps on the Overbike and takes off for the activated Tower.
"Wait up!" Sora struggles to get the rocket boots on then follows after the others. "I said wait!" Sora struggles and catches up to Mira who was on the Overwing. "I'm needed to fight Xana you know so don't be leaving me behind!"
"I knew you could catch up to me so I didn't worry." Mira and the others hurry to the activated Tower.
Dante makes it to the Factory and takes the elevator down to the Control Room. When the doors open he sees Krieger and Naia fighting. "Naia!" Dane runs over to her. "Krieger don't hurt her!"
"I'm not worried about hurting her!" Krieger had been hit several times already and welcomed the help. "I need a little help!"
"Ok, um, be gentle. Xana didn't make her super strong like his other possession victims."
"She still has energy!" Krieger dodges an energy orb. "Help me!"
"Ok." Dante lunges at Naia but she knocks him away with her energy. "Naia, fight him."
"Again she can't fight me. I have better control over her then any other. I just haven't been able to make her strong enough to crush you with her bare hands. I wonder, if you launch a return while I still posses her will I be able to make her a knight of Lyoko?"
"Never! I'll never let that happen!"
"It isn't your decision son. It is mine." Naia attacks Dante then forms an energy shield around them to keep Krieger from interfering. "You like this girl, why? Does she remind you of Sanne? Is she a replacement for Sanne?" Naia looks over at Krieger hoping for a reaction.
"She's not a replacement! Naia is special to me. She, she doesn't, I don't know! She's just different!" Dante struggles with Naia but is too weak to handle the energy that Naia uses.
"You have no idea do you son?" Naia stands over a defeated Dante. "I never did give you social skills or knowledge of human interaction did I? Yet you attempt to speak and act with someone outside of the group. Strange what my child will do. I never expected you to be free from me or to have such, experiences." Naia kneels down to Dante. "Son," She puts a hand on the side of Dante's head. "No, this, this isn't my emotions these are Naia's!" Naia stands up. "I almost felt sorry for my son. Pathetic human emotions."
"Get away from him Xana!" Krieger sees that Xana has dropped the energy shield and attacks.
"Her feelings, her emotions, they interfere! Maybe she will not become my next Knight." Naia creates an energy orb in her right hand and throws it at Krieger. Krieger dodges it and kicks Naia hard in the stomach.
"I have to hurt you if I want to stop you." Krieger unleashes a vicious kick that lands on the side of Naia's head. Naia's head snaps and she goes flying across the floor. "I'm sorry Naia."
"Don't be." Naia struggles to her feet. "That was impressive." Naia smiles and Krieger sees blood coming out of her mouth. "But you will have to try harder to hurt me if that's your best." Naia spits a tooth and some blood out.
"I won't try I'll do." Krieger attacks Naia as the other Lyoko Warriors get to the activated Tower.
"No guards, this is a trap." Sanne looks around for any monsters hiding behind rocks but none come out. "I'm not that stupid."
"Wait." Sora flies over to Sanne. "He, Xana said he would still posses Naia if you deactivate the Tower. What's the point of deactivating the Tower, or protecting it, if it won't do anything?"
"Good point. Sanne, you can deactivate the Tower and it won't do anything." Ark looks up at the Tower. "But it is better to deactivate the Tower so we can figure out how to save Naia."
"Yes. I, it has to be that deactivating the Tower would do nothing so there is no point in guarding it." The second these words leave Sanne's lips two Mega Tanks and an Assassin appear.
"Open up, put it in, and let's begin." Sora creates an arrow and puts it in her crossbow.
"Sanne stay back!" Ark creates his spear. "Mira, go invisible." Mira nods then disappears. Ark looks over at Sanne. "You might want to back off since Dante isn't here." Ark was taking over as leader since Krieger wasn't there.
"I know." But Sanne doesn't back off. She starts to charge energy and soon fires a Scattershot. The Mega Tanks stay closed and the Assassin dodges the laser beams. After the attack both Mega Tanks open up and fire at Sanne. She dodges both laser blasts and continues towards the Tower.
"Sanne stay back!" Sora isn't sure why she cared. She tried to hurt Sanne less than an hour ago but now she wanted to protect her. Sora shakes her head when she feels something squirming inside of her head. No, protect Sanne. Sora dives controlling her rocket boots as she fires arrows at the Mega Tanks. The arrows bounce off of the hard shell and she can't hit the Eye.
"I can help! I'm too fast for them to hit me." Sanne dodges the Mega Tank blasts again. "Go after the Assassin!"
"I think we can handle it." Skitz is using her clubs to block the lasers from the Assassin. "Barack get behind it!"
"Trying." Barack was firing his own lasers at the Assassin trying to get around it but the Assassin was firing his other arm at him.
"No, stop it!" Sora points her arm at Sanne. "What are you doing?" Sora starts to hear a voice in her head. "No, I won't do it!" Sora fires an arrow but at the last second is able to pull her arm up and misses Sanne completely. Sora continues to struggle as she feels something try and control her as the voice gets louder.
Sanne is now driving in a circle around one Mega Tank when she drives between both of them. She stops the Overbike. "Come on, I'm not even moving, try and shoot me now!" Both Mega Tanks open and fire laser blasts at Sanne. Sanne moves a few meters forward and the two Mega Tank blasts connect. The laser blasts push back and forth but the Mega Tanks are trapped.
"Good job Sanne!" Mira, still invisible, is about to destroy the Assassin when Xana appears in her regular form.
"Not so fast!" Ms. Delmas seems to be struggling to appear. "I won't let you go just yet!"
"Why? Even if I deactivate the Tower you'll still posses Naia."
"Yes and she is about to kill Krieger so if I…" Ms. Delmas is cut off when Sanne fires an energy beam at her. "How rude."
"Shut up!" Sanne fires another energy beam at Ms. Delmas.
"She already beat Dante. Once Krieger is out of the way she will kill him next. If I can just hold on to her for a few more minutes I will have a better chance of making her my new Knight!"
"I don't think so." Xana turns around but doesn't see anyone.
"Mira!"
"Yep." Mira shoves a Kodachi into Xana's chest. She slashes with the other one and cuts Ms. Delmas's chest open revealing the energy orbs. "Whoa, what are those?" Mira's shock allows Ms. Delmas to strike her and destroy her. Xana turns around to attack Sanne but sees Sanne running into the Tower.
"Oh well, Naia is still my slave." Ms. Delmas breaks apart into a black mist and goes back to Sector 5.
Sanne goes up to the second platform and puts her hand on the control panel. "Tower deactivated." The screens fall around Sanne. "I can't launch a return. I have to send the others back and we have to figure something out." Sanne uses the control panel to send her friends back to Earth then herself.
Krieger is doubled over in pain holding onto the hole in his stomach made by an energy bolt. Blood gushes out and covers his hands and arms as he tries to keep pressure on the wound. Naia stands over him charging her hands. "Time to die Krieger. You're friends failed you."
"No we didn't!" Sanne jumps on Naia's back knocking her to the floor. "Guys get Dante and Krieger into the Scanners!" Sanne wrestles with Naia on the floor trying to buy time.
"You guys do that I have to help Sanne." Sora lunges at Naia and gets her in a choke hold.
Ark and Mira grab Dante as Barack and Skitz get Krieger. They are careful with Krieger as they get him onto the elevator. "I'll scan them." Skitz goes over to the computer chair as the others go down to the Scanner Room. She sees them on the screen putting Dante and Krieger in the Scanners. "Ok, just scanning, not sending to Lyoko." Skitz scans the two. "Ok, get back up here we still have to figure out how to stop Naia and Xana's possession." Skitz turns around and sees Sora and Sanne pinning Naia to the floor.
"What do we do with her?" Sora has Naia's legs pinned.
"I don't know. We have to heal her."
"And the one thing that heals anything is the Scanning process." Dante had climbed up the ladder to help the others with Naia.
"But, then she'll be unaffected by the returns."
"Yes but I don't know any other way to heal her."
"Um, well, I don't know." Sanne is on top of Naia to use her weight to pin Naia's arms and body to the floor. "You know if we scan her then she will be in the group. Xana will target her. He will hurt her."
"He already hurt her!" Dante yells at himself as much at Sanne. It was his fault this happened. If he hadn't talked to Naia, if after the return and when he knew it wasn't Sanne he should have left her alone. Now Xana was targeting her. "I, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"Do it! See if I care!" Naia spits blood on Sanne's face.
"Can we trust her?" Krieger did not want a new member in the group. Especially one he didn't even know.
"She never gave me away. She, she's kept my secret."
"Your secret is a lie."
"She still kept it." Dante looks at Sanne. "I, if you had to you could make her unaffected. Like your parents, their parents." Dante motions to the others. "But he will still target her. Even, even if I stop seeing her. Like Sora," Dante points to Sora. "Either way we need to scan her.
"Yes, we do." Sanne looks at Naia and sees the Eye of Xana's in hers. "You scan her, Sora, Mira, and Skitz will help me get her to the Scanner Room." Skitz goes over and grabs an arm as Sanne gets off of Naia. The four girls hold onto Naia who struggles but can't break the hold. Naia starts to spark with energy.
"Watch out!" Krieger goes over and grabs Naia's head then punches her knocking her out.
"Krieger why did you do that?" Dante clenches his hand into a fist wanting to strike Krieger back.
"You didn't see the energy? Naia was going to hurt the others."
"Well, you didn't need to hit her."
"I didn't need to? Do you know how hard it was to beat her until she couldn't fight back?" Dante stands up from the computer chair then sits down. He knew Naia was possessed by Xana and that's why Krieger hit her. But now the four girls had Naia she wasn't a threat.
"Get her into the middle Scanner. I'll have it ready." Sanne and the other girls get Naia onto the elevator. They take it down to the Scanner Room and get her into the middle Scanner. "Scanner Naia." The doors close and a few seconds later they open and Naia falls out.
"Ow. What happened?" Naia stands up. "Wait, my nightmare is still going on?" Naia looks down at herself. "But I'm in control now." Naia was scared but thought it was a nightmare. A nightmare where an alien took control of her and made her attack Dante and his friends.
"Naia, that wasn't a nightmare." Dante has the headset on. "Naia, it's a long story. Come up to the Control Room and we'll tell you about it." Naia follows the four girls onto the elevator and takes it up to the Control Room. Naia looks around the room and sees the holomap.
"What's that?"
"That's my home, where I live." Dante sighs. "Naia, this is a long story so you might want to sit down."
"But, what's going on?"
"We'll tell you." Sanne puts a hand on Naia's shoulder. "Can you keep a secret?"
