Please read my episodes, 53-119 plus the OVA of Code Lyoko to know what is going on. Oh and Code Xana the Movie and Episode 1-75
Sanne is beating her head against the keyboard. She had been working with Dante on helping get Franz but they were going nowhere. "Dante if you want to come back to Earth you can."
"Are you sure?" Dante was speaking through a screen on the monitor. He was using the Way Tower in the Forest Sector.
"Yes Dante. I'm sure you can go and get something to eat with Naia." Sanne smiles at Dante's reaction. Sanne was glad Dante found someone. She was flattered that he had a crush on her but felt better that his emotions and feelings were with someone else now.
"Ok." The screen closes as Dante sends himself to Earth.
Later that afternoon Sanne is walking back to the school frustrated and aggravated. She had wasted nearly three hours with no progress. They needed Franz to beat Xana but it was impossible to find him and bring him to Earth. She looked and looked for his information but it was like finding a planet with water in a Universe. She could find bits and pieces but it was never Franz. She has her hands in her pockets playing with the Jpocket. She flips it around in her hand and accidentally hits the power button turning it off.
Soon Sanne is in her room taking a nap. She had spent her Friday night working on the Super Computer. Krieger seemed annoyed lately that she spent all her time working on the Super Computer but it was necessary. She had to find Franz Hopper so they could beat Xana. So they could free Sora. They got lucky that Sora acted normal around them and others. If Sora had changed on Earth at the school it would be hard to cover up from Jim. Her eyes close and she falls asleep and seconds later her Jtop beeps as the Super Scan finds an activated Tower.
Jim is trying to keep some students in line to serve their detentions when something comes from out of the woods. He turns and nearly has a heart attack as he recognizes what he sees. "I must be dreaming." In front of him floating across the campus of Kadic Academy is the Schipizoa. "Kids uh, your detention is served go to your dorm rooms now!" Jim hurries over to a bench where he had a bag. He goes through it and pulls his Jcell out. "Samantha the Schipizoa, it's on Earth!" Samantha laughs. "I'm serious!"
"Jim you're seeing things there is no way that the Schipizoa could possibly on Earth. Go take a nap and…"
"It's real! Get to the Factory now!" Jim hangs up on his wife. "Wait, where is it going? Samantha is at home and I'm here. The kids!" Jim dials Sanne's number but she is so asleep she doesn't wake up. "Sanne answer! Ok, try Krieger." Jim calls Krieger and Krieger answers. "Krieger I, it's hard to explain but get to the dorm building and protect Sanne!"
"What? Jim what's going on?"
"I can't tell you just do what I said and call the others." Jim hangs up on Krieger and starts to run for the sewer entrance in the woods.
Krieger goes to Sanne's room and hears the Super Scan beeping before he even opens the door. Krieger slams the door open waking Sanne up. "Huh, what's going on?" Sanne yawns then hears the beeping noise. "Oh frak," Sanne puts a hand over her mouth. "I mean the Super Scan!" Sanne's body moves faster then her mind and she ends up falling onto the floor instead of going to her Jtop.
"Sanne, Jim called and told me to protect you I think whatever Xana is doing Jim saw it." Krieger helps Sanne up. "Which means we have to hurry!" He grabs Sanne's hand and pulls her out of the room in a hurry to get to the sewer entrance in the woods. Right where Jim was. Almost.
"It's been to long. It was right here I know it!" Jim keeps looking for the sewer entrance.
After calling the others Krieger and Sanne make it into the woods and see Jim. "He can't find it. We got a break but we need to use the school's entrance." Krieger and Sanne turn around and run back towards the school.
Ark and Mira see Jim at the sewer entrance. "Crap. We have to use the school entrance." They turn and run away.
Sanne and Krieger are almost at the building with the school entrance when they hear screaming. "Sanne keep going I'll go distract whatever it is Xana sent." Krieger starts to run when Sanne grabs his arm.
"Krieger don't do anything stupid." Sanne kisses him for good luck then lets him go. He runs towards the sounds of screaming and sees what the attack was.
"The Schipizoa!" Krieger back away when it turns around and sees him. "Sanne is in the sewers so it can't get her." Krieger looks for a weapon but can't find one. "Nice Schipizoa I'm not the one you want." The Schipizoa swings a tentacle and knocks Krieger away.
"Krieger!" Ark and Mira see him and run over. "We need you man on Lyoko." They help him up. "Where's Sanne?"
"In the sewers already." Krieger realizes he shouldn't have said this as the Schipizoa changes directions. No, leave her alone!" Krieger runs after the Schipizoa but is knocked away again. He tries to get back up but screams in pain. The Schipizoa hit him hard enough to break a rib. "Stop it guys. You can't let the Schipizoa get Sanne." Krieger lies down on the ground holding his chest glad the broken rib hadn't punctured a lung.
Sanne climbs out of the sewers and sees Sora. "Crap." Sanne starts to back away.
"Sanne wait." Sora sparks with energy. "You can't go. Xana has a trap set for you. If you go you'll be alone with him in Sector 5." Sora stumbles as she tries to walk towards Sanne. "I'll protect you from the Schipizoa." Sora shakes as more energy comes out. "Into the city. It can't find you there." Sora closes her eyes and the energy goes away. "Xana might kill me for this but we can't let it get you."
"Sora I don't want you to die."
"I said might." Sora grabs Sanne by the hand and starts to run.
Skitz and Barack get to the Factory from the pool. They run in and slide down the rope and run over to the elevator. They take it down to the Control Room.
Soon Dante and Naia get to the Factory and join Skitz and Barack in the Control Room. "What's taking the others so long? They should be here soon." Dante sits down at the control panel. "Hmmm, Forest Sector." Dante and the others wait.
Ark and Mira climb out of the sewers and don't see the Schipizoa. "Maybe she already made it in." They go into the Factory and take the elevator down to the Control Room. "Sanne?"
"She's not here yet."
"That's not good, she left before we did."
"But, what's the attack?"
"The Schipizoa is on Earth. It hurt Krieger and is after Sanne. Call her and see where she is. Maybe she's hiding in the sewers where the Schipizoa can't get her." Dante gets his phone out.
"Sanne, where are you?"
"I'm with Sora." Dante's reaction was expected. "No, she's on our side. She's fighting Xana's orders. She said that Xana had a trap for me that would get me alone in Sector 5."
"Ok, we're going. Don't try to fight it Sanne you can't kill it." Dante and Sanne hang up. "We have to get to Lyoko. Sanne is being protected by Sora." The others nearly choke on this. "Sora is fighting Xana's possession. Now get to the Scanner Room so I can send you!" The others run onto the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Barack, Transfer Ark, Transfer Skitz, Scanner Barack, Scanner Ark, Scanner Skitz, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Forest Sector. "Transfer Skitz, Transfer Naia, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Naia, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko as the vehicles appear. Soon Dante lands near them and runs over to the Overbike needing the speed to get to the activated Tower. "We head west from here." Dante revs the engine and takes off.
Sora and Sanne are running through an alley when Sora stops. Sanne tries to keep running but Sora won't let go of her hand. "Sora what, is there a place to hide?" Sanne turns towards Sora and sees Xana's symbol in her eyes. "No, Sora keep fighting it!" Sanne tries to pull away but Sora won't let go.
"I was never fighting it. I was serious when I said if I resisted him he would kill me. I can't resist him anymore or warn you. I'm sorry but it will be over soon." Sora grabs Sanne in a bear hug. They break apart into black mists and soon appear in the woods.
"Sora stop this!" Sanne struggles but can't break Sora's hold. Soon the Schipizoa appears. "No!" Sanne's scream alerts someone near by.
"Sanne?" Jim runs through the woods and soon finds Sanne, Sora, and the Schipizoa. "Kids get out of here!"
"Shut up Jim!" Sora sparks with energy then pushes Sanne towards the Schipizoa.
"No! Sora what are you doing!?"
"What my master tells me to do." Sora fires an energy bolt at Jim but he dodges it. "Run away old man or you may be the first to die once my master is in his true host." Sora looks over at Sanne who was trembling with fear as the Schipizoa gets close to her. "Or stay and watch the moment Xana won."
"Never, Sanne get away!" Jim runs towards Sanne trying to protect her. Sora charges with energy and creates an energy shield between Sanne and Jim. Jim punches it and is shocked. He punches it again and his fist starts to break through as he is shocked. He lets out a primal scream and slams into the energy shield breaking through it. He is hurt badly but keeps going to protect Sanne.
"Too late." Sora laughs as the Schipizoa wraps its arms around Sanne and lifts her into the air. "This shouldn't take long."
"It won't happen." Sora turns and sees Samantha.
"And what are you going to do old woman?"
"I, I can't believe its true but I always followed better safe than sorry." Samantha pulls a handgun out of her pocket and shoots at the Schipizoa. The bullet pierces the bubble and something strange happens to the Schipizoa. The energy that was Xana stops flowing into Sanne and reverses. Samantha fires again aiming for the green mark that held Xana's symbol. She misses but pierces the bubble again. The Schipizoa drops Sanne.
"No you can't retreat! Xana's orders are to take Sanne!" Sora turns to Samantha as energy forms around her. "Die old woman!" A massive bolt of energy flies out and hits Samantha. She goes flying backwards losing the gun.
"No, have to stop this." Jim runs over to Sanne and picks her up. "It's going to be ok baby." He runs away with Sanne slung over his shoulder. The Schipizoa sparks with energy around the bullet holes and heals itself then chases after Jim.
On Lyoko the Lyoko Warriors see the activated Tower and no guards. "This is too easy." Ark looks around but doesn't see any monsters. "Dante stay back." Ark flies down on his disc towards the Tower.
"Maybe he still has his trap set." Dante didn't know how Xana planned to get Sanne to Sector 5. "Ark, run in, if nothing happens come out and I'll go in." Ark hops off of his disc and runs in.
"Echo!" He hears no echo as the digital sound waves don't behave like normal sound waves. He runs back out. "It seems ok to me." Dante runs in and is surprised that nothing happens. He goes up to the second platform and puts his hand on the control panel still waiting for a trap.
Jim is running when he trips and loses Sanne. The Schipizoa floats over him and grabs Sanne. "No, leave her alone!" Jim starts to get up when an arrow pierces him from behind. He looks down and sees it sticking out of his stomach.
"It's over Jim. Sanne is now Xana's host." Sora smiles evilly as blood pours out of Jim's wound. He drops to his knees as more blood comes out.
"The Tower is deactivated." Dante watches the screens fall around him. "That was too easy. I better send the others back so we can tell Sanne the attack is over." Dante starts to send the others back then remembered that Krieger had told him that Jim had seen the attack. "Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes out reversing time.
Sanne runs to the gym and hugs Krieger hard. "Krieger, this is so bad." Sanne tells Krieger about what Sora had told her. "Sora can't warn us anymore about Xana or fight him. Xana will kill her."
"It was nice to have it while it lasted. You have to make sure you keep your Jpocket on you and that it is running at all time." Krieger kisses her. "I can't lose you Sanne."
"I know. I, I was so scared. I told myself to run but I couldn't my legs wouldn't respond." Sanne starts to cry. "I, I felt my mind change. Xana was entering me and I was helpless to stop it. I started seeing, seeing me hurting you. Hurting the others. I was going to torture you to punish you for fighting me, Xana. I, I didn't even do it and I feel horrible. Sora actually attacks us, hurts us, and can't stop it. We have to save her, and Franz, and Ms. Delmas. We have to save them but I can't do it. Maybe we should call our parents."
"Sanne you can't give up." Krieger hugs her hard. "You can do it. If we call our parents we know what will happen."
"I know." Sanne wipes her eyes trying to stop crying. "If, if we haven't stopped him by the end of the school year we have to tell our parents."
"Ok Sanne. If that's what you want." Krieger kisses her on the forehead. "It won't take us that long."
"You don't know. I, we all thought it would be a couple weeks before we got Dante to Earth and beat Xana. But now he is stronger and we can't beat him."
"Yes we can Sanne."
"Maybe."
"We can, say it Sanne."
"I, yes, we can beat Xana."
"There you go." Krieger kisses Sanne softly on the lips.
"Thanks Krieger. I feel better now." Sanne kisses him back. "I was so scared. What if, what if Xana does get me?"
"Then we'll call our parents. Losing you to Xana is worse then Xana killing someone."
"If you can call them. If he gets me he might kill you guys before you can call our parents."
"Don't worry about Sanne. We have homework to do don't we?"
"Yes." Krieger goes into the boys' locker room and changes then goes with Sanne to her room to do homework.
A/N If you're wondering why Xana didn't send monsters it's because he couldn't. Sending the Schipizoa took a lot out of him and he was partially transferred into Sanne so didn't have complete control like he normally did. Also, next episode… September 27th! One day earlier then normal!
