Sanne was shaken by her trip to the other world, real world, whatever world it was. She had told Dante about it and he was concerned. "If that Xana somehow transferred himself to this world with his energy orbs and mixed with our Xana his power would be too much."
"I know but I can't control it. I don't know how to go back from this world to that one or the other way around. If I did I would have…" Sanne is about to say come back to this world as soon as possible but she didn't know if that was true. This world was so much harder. This Xana was strong from the returns. This world had dead warriors. This world had most of the group mad at her. Would she really choose to stay in this world if she had a choice?
"Sanne its ok." Dante kisses her lightly on the lips. The world she had been in sounded great compared to this world. "I'm sorry my other self is so cold to you." Sanne had told Dante about her problems with that Dante but not about her and the other Skitz. "Did you try chocolate?"
"I did and you seem to have warmed up a little but I, when I'm not there the other Sanne doesn't seem to treat you well."
"I see. Well, we'll keep you here as long as possible." Dante hugs her. "I love you Sanne."
"I love you too Dante." Sanne hugs Dante back. This world was better.
Xana is deciding to attack. His last attack nearly killed Sanne. "If I get rid of her I won't need to worry about her powers." Xana decides to do a double strike. But he would wait.
The next day Sanne is walking through the woods after school. She decided to try and make things better between herself and the others. She told Krieger to meet her near the Hermitage so they could talk. She was nervous but she had to try and at least be able to speak to Krieger. He was her best friend and not having him there was hurting her and she knew it was hurting him. The way he acted wasn't Krieger. She stops and sits under a tree and waits for Krieger.
A few kilometers away a military base is about to get a surprise. "Eh, a drill?" Three soldiers were eating when an alarm sounded.
"Another drill, we can bring these with us." The three soldiers walk towards their positions when the sound of gun fire alerts them that this was more than a drill. Across the base at the garage two Urban Defense Fighters break through the large garage door. Two mechanics who were working on them fire hand guns at them but the bullets bounce off.
NASA is working with a new defense satellite. It would be used to destroy any meteors that came close to the planet that could be a threat. After a car sized meteor struck Cleveland Ohio and killed over a thousand people last year NASA had been working with the military to make this satellite. "Ok, and charge." They are doing a test run when something strange happens.
"Sir, the charge is complete but now it won't respond!"
"It should have taken at least ten minutes to charge." The Director looks and tries to fix the satellite.
Krieger is walking through the woods unsure of what to do. He didn't want to talk to Sanne but she nearly begged him to. Was she changing her mind? If she was he didn't care he didn't want to be with her anymore. But he had to admit he missed her. She was his friend. Unlike Ark he could talk to her about things that were… Things he wasn't comfortable talking to Ark about. And he was getting lonely. Ark and Mira fought a little but they were still dating. Barack didn't want to hang out with him or go to the gym or anything. And Krieger just couldn't bring himself to date anyone at Kadic Academy. He remembers when the returns were done over and over again. He took that opportunity to ask girls out to see who would say yes or no but after talking with Sora's roommate, Maria, he lost all interest in that. He walks around a corner and sees Sanne sitting under a tree. "Sanne." He doesn't wave or say hello, just her name. She stands up and walks over to him.
"Krieger, I, I'm sorry." She hugs him then let's go. "I know it's my fault we broke up but I don't want to lose our friendship over this. Over my stupidity. It's my fault, my stupidity, but our friendship shouldn't be hurt because of that."
"It is hurt Sanne. I can't trust you. You know I used to be able to go to you with anything. But now, no." Krieger tries to sound cold. He didn't want to forgive Sanne for what she had done. "You can apologize all you want but it doesn't change the fact you cheated on me. You would tell me you loved me then run to the Factory and tell Dante that you loved him."
"Because it was true. I did love you and I loved him. I, I still love you but I know you don't love me anymore because of what I did."
"I, well, I," I don't know. "Sanne I loved you for a long time. I wanted to go out with you, date you. I thought things were fine, what did I do wrong?"
"Nothing! Krieger you did nothing wrong. You loved me and treated me with respect and loved me. It is all on me. I just couldn't love one person. Krieger I was going to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"What I was doing with Dante. I swear I was. I, I didn't know what to do but I did know that."
"Well what did you think would happen if you told me? That I would forgive you and keep dating you?"
"Yes. I thought if I was honest with you that you would. But Xana didn't give me the chance."
"Wait, you were going to break up with Dante, tell me about what you did with him, and stick with me?"
"I think so. I, I'm sorry." Sanne starts to cry.
Several thousand meters above the two a satellite floats. It points at the two and readies to fire.
At the NASA headquarters the Director sees the Satellite is about to fire at Earth. "No, there!" He sends a message and the aiming system on the satellite changes.
"Sanne I'm sorry." Krieger hugs Sanne. "I'm sorry I treated you like this. I, our friendship is important. Ark's a great friend but I can't talk to him like I do, did, with you." Krieger is going to say more when a laser comes down and blasts the woods near them.
"Aaaa!" They both scream. "What was that?!"
"I don't know!" Krieger looks around for monsters. It had to be Xana's monsters but the lasers on the monsters didn't make the ground shake like that.
The satellite sparks with energy and the laser moves again taking aim at the two on Earth.
"No, we won't let you do that!" The Director thinks hackers have taken control of the satellite and was planning to attack another country. He sends another message to the satellite and messes with the aim again.
"Aaaa!" The laser comes down from the sky and blasts the ground only a few meters from Krieger and Sanne. "Call the others it has to be Xana!"
"Sector 5 I know it!" Sanne and Krieger get their Jcells out and call their friends hoping that Xana would keep missing.
Dante is on the cot Sanne had gotten him drinking a soda when his phone rings. "Hello?"
"Xana's attacking!"
"What? But the Super Scan hasn't found an activated Tower."
"He's probably using the one in Sector 5! Are you at the Factory!?"
"Yes, where are you?"
"With Krieger in the woods!" Sanne nearly drops her phone when a laser slams into the ground nearby.
"Hurry, I, I'll wait." Dante and Sanne hang up. "Damn you Xana you won't kill her!" Dante sets up the Sector 5 key and is ready to enter the code SCIPIO as soon as his friends get there and are sent to Lyoko.
Sanne and Krieger run for the sewer entrance at the Hermitage since it was closest. A laser comes down and barely misses them. It is so close Krieger can feel the heat from the laser.
Ark and Mira get to the sewer entrance in the woods and feel the ground shake. "Whatever Xana is doing must be powerful." They climb down and head for the Factory as fast as they can.
Barack uses the school entrance since he was close to it.
Sanne and Krieger make it to the Hermitage entrance when they see Samantha standing on the porch. "Get away!" Sanne yells as loud as she can.
"What is going on?" Samantha crosses her arms and waits for an answer. Her answer came in the shape of a laser slamming into the ground only a few meters away from Krieger and Sanne. Samantha has flashbacks of when she was Xana and tried to use a laser to kill Yumi. "Xana!" Samantha runs after the two as another laser comes down and destroys the Hermitage.
Ark and Mira, on their skateboards, get to the end of the sewer passage first. They climb up and are immediately shot at. "What the frak?!" Ark ducks back down into the sewers. "Guns, we, we can't handle bullets." More gunfire makes Ark climb the rest of the way down.
At the bridge were two possessed Urban Defense Fighters. No one was getting into the Factory. Unless Xana wanted them there.
Dante is waiting for the others when his phone rings. "Ark, what is it?"
"There are two big machines with guns sitting on the bridge. We can't handle guns. Sorry but you're on your own."
"But, I can't." Dante had tried before, when Xana wasn't affected by the returns. He couldn't make it on his own. "I, well, you have time. I looked at the Super Scan and I think something is wrong with it. I don't know if its Xana or an affect from the virus we used."
"Then find a way to take out two huge frakking machines with guns." Ark hangs up on Dante.
Sanne, Krieger, and Samantha get to the end of the sewer passage and see Ark and Mira. "What's going on? Did Xana destroy the bridge?" Sanne and the other two only knew of the satellite.
"No he has two big toys up there. Toys with guns."
"Wait, but, then he is doing more then the satellite." Samantha goes to the ladder and climbs up. She sees the Urban Defense Fighters waiting. She climbs back down. "Why is he repeating?"
"What?"
"He did this when I, when I was his host. The satellite and the Dreadnoughts. What have you kids been doing?"
"Grandma I tried telling you. We've been fighting Xana since the beginning of the year. Recently we tried to kill him by infecting him with a virus but he fought it off. Since then his attacks have been ones he did before."
"He was damaged then." Samantha concentrates. "The beginning of the year? Yet no returns. Why didn't you tell me or your parents?"
"You fought Xana before and we didn't want to burden you with fighting him again." Sanne is scared of Samantha's look. It wasn't rage, it wasn't anger. Samantha seemed calm.
"I see. Who else is in this group?"
"Barack and Dante. Skitz was but now she's, well, you know."
"So this is the stress she was talking about." Sanne nods. "Your parents never resorted to drugs no matter how bad things got. Who is Dante? Or is he the one who was dating Skitz?"
"No Dante is uh, was, Xana's son."
"What!?!"
"No Grandma listen." Sanne explains how things were with Xana's son, Dante. "He isn't evil. He, he wants Xana dead to make up for what he did when Xana programmed him."
"And you are dating him. A half virus son of the enemy? You broke up with Krieger for someone you know you can't stay with."
"What, why not?"
"He's the enemy."
"No he isn't!"
"It's a trick. Xana is waiting. One day he will tell his son to attack."
"No he won't! Dante loves me!" Samantha smacks Sanne.
"Shut up little girl." Now the Samantha that the others knew, the one who would be angry when finding out about Xana comes out. "You are all going home. Even you Mira. You're too young to fight Xana."
"We're older then our parents when they fought Xana!" Sanne ignores the pain from the smack. "We've gone this long we don't need your help!"
"Little girl you are probably having sex, aren't you, with a half virus boy? Like you could handle anything if your judgment is that bad."
"I love Dante and he loves me! He won't turn on me or anyone else!" Sanne gets in Samantha's face. "And judgment? You married the man who made Xana!"
"I didn't know he was, was, that has nothing to do with this! You know this Dante boy is Xana's son!" Samantha goes to smack Sanne again when Krieger grabs her arm.
"We have more important things to worry about now." Samantha pulls her arm away from Krieger.
"You're right. We have to find a way around these things and a way to keep the laser from killing us."
At NASA headquarters the Director is confused. The satellite stopped firing at Earth. "Maybe the hackers got bored? Who knows with these kinds of people." The Director and other NASA employees work on fixing the satellite.
Soon Barack gets to the end of the sewer passage and sees the others. "What's going on?"
"Xana has made it impossible to get to the Factory." Sanne wasn't ready to surrender though. "He wants me on Lyoko, he still needs my power." Samantha goes to make a comment but Krieger cuts her off.
"I don't know Sanne he seemed pretty determined to kill you with that laser." Sanne shakes her head.
"He missed. He could hit a Euro from outer space yet missed us. He was just scaring us."
"Just scaring you. He could kill me."
"Unless he doesn't care." Everyone turns to Barack. "If he kills you he doesn't have to worry about your powers." Now Samantha gets a word in.
"What powers?"
"Uh, I have, powers on Lyoko. Xana wants them and to get them he has to make me his host." Sanne flinches when Samantha raises a hand. But instead of smacking Sanne Samantha puts it on Sanne's shoulder.
"If he wants you as a host then he will make you one. You can't go to Lyoko." Samantha wasn't going to lose her granddaughter to Xana.
"He's tried for months and failed so far." Came close a few too many times but never did it.
"We don't have to worry about that unless we can get around those dreadnoughts." Krieger looks at the ladder. "Sanne, go up and see what they do." Sanne goes to the ladder and climbs up it. She sticks her head out of the sewer and the dreadnoughts shoot at her. She drops back so fast she loses her grip and falls. Krieger catches her then sets her on the ground.
"I guess that answers that question." But Xana wasn't done yet! Soon the ground shakes and an explosion is heard above them.
"Now what is he doing?" The ground shakes again. Samantha gets worried but isn't sure what to do.
"He might be trying to get at us. Using the laser to blast through to the sewers." Barack flinches when the ground shakes again.
"Then we better get out of here." Sanne takes off down the sewer and the others follow. Sanne gets her Jcell out and calls Dante. "Dante we can't make it to the Factory. Xana is using a laser and two dreadnoughts to keep us out. I'm sorry but you're alone we can't help you."
"But I can't go alone."
"I know but I don't know what to do."
"Did you try to get here? He can't kill you."
"I don't think he cares anymore. Dante you have to try on your own. That's all we have."
"I, I guess. Sanne, be careful, I love you."
"I love you to." They hang up as Dante thinks about what to do.
Xana is firing more lasers trying to bore through the Earth into the sewers. His dreadnoughts remain at the bridge.
Dante is trying to figure out what to do. He works on fixing the Super Scan to buy time hoping his friends would make it. But soon he fixes the Super Scan and it finds the activated Tower. Dante thinks some more when he gets an idea. He wasn't sure if it would work and that if it did what to do after but he couldn't go alone. He goes down to the Scanner Room and goes to the middle of it. He goes to the left Scanner. "No idea if this will work but if it does I won't be alone." Dante scratches his arm hard drawing blood. He gets a few drops in the Scanner. He goes to the middle Scanner and drops more before going to the right Scanner and getting more blood in. He climbs up the ladder and goes to the computer chair. "Which profiles to use?" Dante looks through them and chooses. "Transfer Krieger, Transfer Ark, Transfer Barack, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Ark, Scanner Barack, and virtualization." Dante crosses his fingers, a habit he learned from Sanne, and hopes his plan worked.
"Hello?" Three Dante's in different outfits are on Lyoko in the new Desert Sector. "We're waiting." They speak as one.
"Then it worked, good." Dante sends the vehicles then sets up the auto transfer for himself. He lands on Lyoko under his profile and looks at his other selfs. The outfits were mostly the same just darker. Barack's desert camouflage was darker. The purple of Ark's profile was now so dark it was hard to tell that it was purple. Krieger's profile was the least affected but Dante could see almost a dark glow coming off of the knight armor that was Krieger's profile.
Sanne and the others are running through the sewers. The ground over them shakes violently but so far Xana hasn't blasted through.
The four Dante's on Lyoko near the activated Tower. On the way they had been talking about something that only seemed to concern two of the Dante's. "She was with Krieger. Krieger doesn't like her what were they doing together?" The two talk at the same time. The other two, the original and a clone, are not concerned.
"Maybe she decided she needed to keep training and working out." They talk at the same time. "Or they are still friends and friends do things together. I'm glad they are friends again."
"Friends?" The two Dante's with concerns are suspicious. "Or more? She cheated on Krieger with us now she may be doing the same except the other way around. She always seemed to be unsure about being with us. She wants Krieger back and he may have taken her back." They talk at the same time.
"No way!" Original Dante and clone yell at the other two. "And even if they are together we won't say or do anything. We want Sanne to be happy and if she is happier with Krieger than us then so be it."
"You know we aren't that selfless. We love her and she'd turn on us like that without even telling us?"
"You idiots aren't my clones the profiles must have imprinted themselves on to you. Sanne's happiness is all that matters. She did so much for us that the least we can do is make her happy." The Dante's stop arguing when they get close to the activated Tower and three Mega Tanks and an Assassin appear.
"Aaaa!" Cars crash as the laser comes down and slams into the street. The Lyoko Warriors underneath can't hear the sounds of twisting metal and panicked screams but can feel the ground shake.
"We need to split up make him choose a target." Krieger leaps across the water and lands on the other side.
"Krieger's right, see ya." Barack turns around and runs the other way. Soon the others break up and go their separate ways.
The Dante's are doing poorly against the monsters. Dante himself was not used to a sword or a spear so neither were his clones. "Watch out!" The Original Dante fires an energy orb and destroys the Assassin.
"We only need one of us to get into the Tower and deactivate it." The Barack Dante is fairing better with the laser gun.
"I'll go for it!" Ark Dante and Krieger Dante say this at the same time. Ark Dante throws his spear at a Mega Tank and it closes up so the spear bounces off harmlessly. Krieger Dante jumps and lands on it beating it with his sword. A second Mega Tank opens and fires at Ark Dante. He dodges the blast and gets close to the Tower when the third Mega Tank fires and hits the disc. Ark Dante flies through the air and lands hard on the ground.
"Alakazam!" Original Dante fires an energy beam at the same Mega Tank but it closes up and the laser beam hits harmlessly. Original Dante fires energy orbs at it to keep it closed.
The Barack Dante dives at the last Mega Tank. It fires at him and hits him sending him back to Earth.
Ark Dante is running for the activated Tower when the last Mega Tank fires at him. He jumps out of the way. Ark Dante continues towards the activated Tower desperate to get there.
"Watch out!" Krieger Dante sees that Ark Dante is going to be hit. "Super Leap!" He jumps off of the Mega Tank he was on and takes the hit for Ark Dante being sent back to Earth.
"Got it!" Ark Dante runs into the activated Tower as a Mega Tank blast barely misses him. He goes up to the second platform, places his hand on the control panel, and soon the screens fall around him. "The Tower is deactivated." Using the control panel Ark Dante launches a return.
Dante, and Dante, and Dante, and Dante are in the Control Room with Sanne. "What do we do?" They all speak at the same time.
"I don't know. Um, what, who is the real Dante?" One raises his hand. "Ok um you three go over there." The other three stand together. "We can't exactly um, do anything to you can we?"
"Like kill us?" The three speak together.
"No! I mean um, I don't know." Sanne turns to Original Dante. "Can we merge them with you or something?"
"We could. Xana merged your, our, friends before but we would have to modify it a little. It might take time."
"Well um, I could go and bring you all food or something."
"We're not hungry." All four Dante's speak together. "But we are not all needed here." Two walk over to Sanne. "We would like to go out and do something before we are merged."
"Um, ok, sure." Sanne and two Dante's get on the elevator and leave. This makes Original Dante confused.
"What are they doing? I should know we're…" Now he knows. He calls Sanne. "Sanne don't listen to them! Ark and Krieger's profile affected them! Whatever they say it isn't coming from me!"
"What? Um, ok." Sanne isn't sure what Original Dante is yelling about. She steps off of the elevator with the two Dante's.
Original Dante and a clone Dante take turns working on creating a way to merge themselves together.
Sanne and the two Dante's go to a nearby park after walking for a long time. "Um, Dante said you two would say something to me that wasn't um, him." Sanne is nervous. To have one Dante out was risky let alone two. In the park the chance for Samantha or Jim to see them was low but still there.
"Yes, what were you doing with Krieger?"
"Nothing. Well, not nothing. We talked and stuff."
"Stuff?" The two cross their arms and stare at her.
"Not like that. I was just tired of fighting with him. Krieger and I are friends and I didn't want that friendship to go away. We talked and while we may not be best friends we are friends again."
"I see. I guess we were wrong about you." The two Dante's smile. "We can go back now." They head back to the Factory.
Original Dante enters a final code and a green exclamation point comes up. "There we go. Now we just need the other two to come back."
"Really?" A clone Dante looks at the program. "Make sure to delete this or else Xana may use it."
"Exactly what I was thinking." Original Dante gets his Jcell out and calls Sanne. "Sanne it's ready."
"We're almost back." Sanne and the two Dante's were near the bridge. "Be nice to have only one of you again." Sanne laughs a little then they hang up.
The three clone Dante's are standing in the Scanners. "Ok, I'll start the process then when it is complete there should be one clone left. Then Original Dante will step into one and I'll merge you together." Sanne is sitting at the control panel ready to use Dante's program.
"We're ready." Soon the Scanner doors close and when they open only one clone is left in the middle Scanner. Original Dante steps into the left Scanner and soon the doors close. When they open Dante steps out of the left Scanner.
"I'm here Sanne, it worked." Dante has the memories of the two clones that went with Sanne. "Friends again, that's good. She'll be happier now." He takes the ladder up to the Control Room. "Thank you Sanne."
"You did all the work." Sanne gets out of the computer chair and goes over to Dante. "That was brilliant of you." She hugs and kisses him. "I bet Xana never expected it."
"It just came to me. I needed more then one person and that made me think of a time Xana used the blood of Ulrich and Yumi to make clones. I decided that it would work, tried it, and it did." Dante hugs Sanne back. "So you and Krieger are friends again?"
"Yes. I'm sorry but I couldn't not be friends with him."
"Sorry? Krieger and you are friends. I know that and I like that you two are friends again. It makes you happy." Dante kisses Sanne lightly on the lips. "I love you Sanne."
"I love you to Dante."
