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 1-103
Sanne is having a hard time being back in the world that she knew. Naia's attempt at speeding up time had been reversed a little by the return but there was still a lot of homework and tests to make up. It took a lot of explaining, lying, and BSing but the group had figured out a way to get a chance to do the homework and tests they missed.
Except Ark who somehow had it all done. This made some of the group suspicious of him but Mira, Skitz, and Krieger were sure it was Naia's way of trying to trick them. If Ark was her knight or playmate then why would she have possessed him? It was obviously someone else and Naia was trying to draw attention away from them.
"I know this frakking stuff but I have to do it all at once!" Sanne finishes math homework. "I have a headache from working on this crap." She rubs her temples and tries to think of a better place. All that came to mind was the Other World. Where she was loved by everyone. Where Xana wasn't able to kill anyone because he was too weak. Where Sora and Naia were not dead or possessed. "Why can't I be back there?" Sanne has to fight back her tears. This world was hell compared to the other world. "Damn you Naia!"
Naia is watching and hears this. "Hmmm it seems to be working. Now to annoy her some more!" Naia plans her next attack but has to wait for the right moment. A moment the Tower wouldn't be detected.
Two hours later Sanne is in her room. Mars was, somewhere, and that's all that mattered to her. Sanne pulls a diary out from under her bed and starts to write in it. Ever since Skitz had read the diary she kept on her Jpocket she went with pen and paper. Sanne is so enthralled in her writing that she doesn't notice the black mist coming out and turning her Jpocket, Jtop, and Jcell off.
Dante is in the Control Room making a microwave pizza when the Super Scan beeps. "Naia, what are you doing now?" A black mist comes out and forms into Naia. "All that to come here?"
"Well Dante that's how much you mean to me." Naia smiles knowing she could distract Dante while her real attack continues.
"If you really loved me that much you'd stop doing what you are doing. You'd help us find a way to save you Naia." Dante has to fight back the flood of emotions. He still loved Naia but not as much as Sanne. But with Naia in front of him it was hard to feel that.
"I can't Dante. Sanne deserves what she is getting! She stole you from me! She got Sora killed! Skitz was sent home because of that tramp!"
"Your new playmate doesn't seem very grateful does she?" Dante tries to trick Naia into revealing who had turned.
"Oh they are but Skitz is not they! Do you think me so stupid Dante? I am far smarter than that!" Naia sparks with energy.
"No I don't Naia but I had to try."
"Or you could leave that tramp and join me." Naia backs Dante into a wall. She reaches out and puts a hand on his cheek. "I still love you. Please Dante join me again. I miss you so much."
"You, you're not Xana but you're not Naia. I still love Naia but you're not her. Naia would let us, help us, fix her so she could be back on Earth."
"Very well." Naia smiles evilly as the room shakes. "Just so you know this is not why I activated the Tower." Naia turns into a black mist and disappears back into the Super Computer. The Control Room shakes again as Dante gets his Jcell out.
Sanne never hears her phone ring. Naia had turned it off. She never hears the Super Scan detect the activated Tower as Naia had turned them off. But she does feel the room shake. "What the frak?" The room shakes again as does the whole building. Suddenly the room seems to drop ten meters. It isn't until Sanne stands up and looks out the window that she realizes the room, as did the whole dorm building, dropped ten meters! She looks and sees the other buildings dropping into the ground before the ground breaks apart and sinks even more. "Naia!" A black mist appears behind her and when Sanne turns around…
"Boo!" Naia tackles Sanne to the floor. "Hello tramp."
"What are you doing!?" Sanne struggles but Naia sparks with energy keeping her pinned.
"Sinking France into the ocean. Of course you'll deactivate the Tower and launch a return and have to do your homework over again. Funny how I want that to happen isn't it?"
"You're just trying to drive me crazy!"
"Yes. And I wonder do you really want to go back?"
"I, what do you know about it Naia?" Sanne is genuinely curious about it. What did Naia know about that other world?
"I know what Xana knew. He saw a couple glimpses of it but that's all. He wondered what was there. Was there another Xana? Could he merge with that Xana and use the combined energy orbs to control both worlds? Of course that would be stupid wouldn't it? Who wants to control the world when you can have fun and play? My playmate loves playing with you."
"You don't have one you're just messing with us." The building shakes as it and the ground sinks deeper.
"Oh really? How do you think all those bad things happen just to you? They use their powers on you and in return I gave them the powers. All they have to do is make your life a living hell." The building shakes again. "You better hurry Tramp or you won't be able to get out. I don't want you to die of course because then I wouldn't be able to annoy you any more."
"Then let me up!" Naia turns into a black mist and disappears into a light socket. Sanne gets up and runs out of the dorm room forgetting her Jcell.
Ark is panicking. Naia had not told him she planned to attack. Or play as she called it and thinks this is natures work. "Mira hang on to me!" Mira grabs on to Ark for support.
"This has to be Naia!" Mira was going out of her mind with panic. They had gone into a depression but then the ground around them sank.
"I don't think so!" Ark tries to get Mira towards the school but the shaking gets so bad they fall over.
"Aaaa!" Mira curls up into Ark for protection. She doesn't see the black mist appear besides Ark's ear.
"Sorry partner. You were with Mira and I couldn't get a hold of you before I started to play. I'll make it easy for you and Mira." The black mist forms into Naia. "Hello Ark, playmate."
"What? Don't think you can trick us Naia!" Ark fakes outrage. "I know Mira isn't the one who turned on us!"
"Then why am I here? Why am I going to be so nice as to get her and the one she loves to Lyoko?" Naia waves her hand and turns both into black mists sending them to Lyoko.
"Ark, I'm not the one who turned I swear!"
"I don't believe Naia for a second." Ark hugs Mira. "I love you and would know if you turned on us."
"Thank you Ark." Mira hugs him back. "Its weird to hug on Lyoko cause like you can't feel it."
"I know. Even weirder to kiss." Ark kisses Mira lightly on the lips feeling better now that she was out of danger.
Krieger and Skitz are panicking. They were at the mall when the mall started to sink into the ground. On the TVs there were reports of the ocean rising up on the coasts. France was being swallowed by the sea. They run towards the sewer entrance knowing it was Naia but when they get close they see water coming out of the sewer. "We have to take the streets."
"Do you know how to get there by the streets?" Skitz was so used to the sewers she wasn't sure she could go by street.
"I know! Just stick with me!" Krieger grabs her hand and leads her through the streets. Cars crash, people panic, glass shatters an rains down on the streets. The nation of France goes haywire as it slowly sinks into the ocean.
Barack is panicking as is everyone else. He was in the library doing homework when the attack started and when he tried to get out a bookcase fell and covered him with books. He tries to dig his way out but another bookcase falls and the bookcase and its books pin him down even more.
Sanne is running through the woods for the sewer entrance there. But even before she gets there she finds her feet getting wet. "Where is this water coming from?" She keeps running through it when she finds the source. "Damn it I can't take the sewers." Sanne turns and knows she'll have to take the streets to the Factory.
Dante calls Sanne again but she doesn't answer her phone. "Naia you can't kill anyone! If you do it will make you worse than Xana!" Naia doesn't respond. She had to be very careful with this attack. She didn't want to kill anyone of course just force Sanne to do a return. Naia puts up an energy wall to keep the ocean from flooding the land as it sinks even more.
Sanne runs out of the school and runs for the Factory.
Krieger and Skitz make it to the Factory and have to walk through nearly a meter of water as the river and sewer water floods the surrounding area. They swing down to the Factory floor and nearly have to swim to get to the elevator. "Are you sure we should take the elevator? What if the water goes down to the Super Computer Room?" Skitz is worried and Krieger stops.
"Good point. The other way is over there." Krieger and Skitz pretty much swim over to the other route to go down to the Control Room.
Ark and Mira are talking with Dante about what happened. "But I know Mira didn't turn on us. Naia is just trying to trick us."
"I agree. Mira has no reason to turn on us." Dante is concerned though. Naia may have still been helping her new playmate when getting Ark to Lyoko. But after all the things she did to Ark could he be the new knight? Just more mind games from Naia. "I'll wait for the others to get here. You are close to the activated Tower which is good for us."
"I guess." Mira looks around waiting for monsters. It had been awhile since they'd been to the Ice Sector.
Skitz and Krieger get to the boiler room and Krieger forces the door to open. "Whoa!" The boiler room had been sealed off and when he opens it the water floods into it carrying he and Skitz into it. They lose control and slam into the far wall. The water continues to rush in filling the boiler room.
Sanne sees the Factory and the water. "Crap the elevator won't be useable." Sanne sloshes through the water to the Factory edge. Instead of swinging down she just does a cannon ball into the water now that it was almost as deep as she was tall. She swims across the Factory floor to use the other route. She feels a strange pull towards the second route like a river flowing.
Krieger is able to grab the handle of the door of the boiler room and tries to pull it open but the water pressure makes it hard. "Skitz help me!" Skitz swims over to him and with her added weight the door pulls open. This causes another rush of water and the two are sucked out of the room.
"Aaaa!" Sanne does not expect the flow to increase and when it does she is surprised. She bounces off of a wall and gets disoriented.
"Woo!" Skitz grabs on to Krieger and they ride out the rush of water. Now that they were in control they were having fun.
"Help!" Sanne bounces off of the first boiler room door and into the boiler room. She hits a pipe then a wall before being sucked out of the room through the second door. Sanne is almost knocked out when her head hits the floor as she tumbles in the water head over heels.
Dante in the Control Room hears yelling. He takes the headset off as the noise gets closer. "What's going on?" He thinks he recognizes the voice but doesn't know why they would be coming from where they are. Unless they took the other route but why would they do that? Dante brings up the security camera and sees the water flooding the Factory. "Oh."
"Here it is!" Krieger reaches out and grabs the ladder. Skitz grabs him by the shirt then the ladder. They climb up and when out of danger kiss each other. "That was fun."
"Let's never do that again." Skitz kisses Krieger again.
"Hello." Dante is stunned when he sees the two kiss. The two are stunned when they see Dante.
"Um, uh, hi Dante." Krieger looks away.
"If you two are done I think you need to go down to the Scanner Room."
"Dante don't tell anyone ok? We, we don't want the others to know about us yet."
"It doesn't concern me what you to do. I'm sure Barack and Sanne would be concerned with it."
"Sanne?" Krieger clenches his hands into fists. "Why the hell would she care huh Dante?"
"Because she still loves you and is hurt that you don't love her any more." Dante's truthfulness stuns Krieger but worries Skitz.
"Well she frakked up and did stuff with you so she obviously didn't love him enough."
"She did she just had more love then she could handle." Dante sighs. He didn't want to be saying this but wasn't going to lie. "Now if you two could go down to the Scanner Room I'll send you. Ark and Mira are waiting for you."
"Oh." Krieger and Skitz climb down and go over to the ladder taking it down to the Scanner Room.
"Transfer Skitz, Transfer Krieger, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Krieger, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Ice Sector near the other two. "Here are the vehicles." Dante sends them.
"Thanks Dante." Krieger gets on the Overbike ignoring the stares from Ark and Mira. It isn't until Ark clears his throat that Krieger looks over at him. "What Ark you want this?"
"What have you and my sister been doing?" Ark and Mira heard everything through the headset.
"Oh uh, nothing."
"You're a horrible liar. After all these years do you really think you could lie to me?" Ark crosses his arms and stares at Krieger.
"Hey leave him alone." Skitz goes over to Krieger. "We are dating, kind of. Since we were both betrayed by the ones we thought loved us we decided we should be together. We won't hurt each other like we've been hurt."
"Krieger how long have you been frakking my sister?" Ark creates his spear. "And don't lie."
"Ark leave him alone!" Skitz gets her clubs out.
"I let Barack do that but my best friend? Not only that but don't even tell me you're dating?" Ark walks towards Krieger and Skitz. "So again how long have you been frakking my sister?"
"None of your business." Krieger gets his sword and shield out. "Ark unless Mira helps you it will be two on one and I am a much better fighter than you." Ark stops and thinks about it. He could destroy both easily with his powers. But they didn't know he had these powers and couldn't expose them.
"You're right. I'll wait until we're on Earth to kick your ass." Ark goes back over to Mira mumbling.
"Don't tell Sanne or Barack." Skitz runs over to her brother. "Please Ark? You hate Sanne as much as I do so please don't tell her."
"And Barack?"
"Well, you don't like him do you?"
"I didn't when he was with you but now that you two are done frakking each other he's not so bad."
"Please don't tell him!"
"Fine. As long as you don't interfere in the ass beating I'm going to give Krieger when this attack is over."
"I'd love to see you try." Skitz had seen Krieger with no shirt on and knows what muscles he has.
Sanne is dazed, confused, soaking wet, but the flow seemed to stop. She swims over to the ladder and grabs it. She catches her breath before climbing out of the water and into the Control Room. "That sucked."
"Sanne are you ok?" Dante runs over to her and climbs up the ledge to check on her.
"I'm fine. I might look like a drowned rat but I'm fine." Sanne wrings her shirt out but it doesn't really dry it out much.
"You need to get down to the Scanner Room Sanne." Dante kisses a bruise on her cheek then another on her forehead. "Ok?"
"Yeah, sure." Sanne hugs Dante. "That was not fun."
"Krieger and Skitz thought it was."
"They went through that?"
"Yeah, just went to Lyoko a couple minutes ago. We're all waiting for you." Dante kisses her lightly on the lips since the bottom one was starting to swell up. "So hurry ok? Heal your bruises and dry your clothes."
"Ok Dante." Sanne and Dante climb down. Sanne goes to the ladder as Dante goes over to the computer chair. Sanne gets in the middle Scanner and waits for Dante to send her.
"Transfer Sanne, Scanner Sanne, and virtualization." Sanne lands on Lyoko next to the others. "I'm going to call Barack and see if he is close or not." Dante gets his Jcell out and calls Barack but Barack doesn't answer.
"Let me guess Naia's attacking." Barack can't reach his phone as he is still being pinned down by the books and bookcases. "About time they got around to calling and telling me." Barack complains some more.
"I guess not." Dante sets up the auto transfer program then hurries down to the Scanner Room getting in the left Scanner with seconds to go. When he lands on Lyoko he hurries over to the Overwing. "We go east."
"Ok." Sanne with the rocket boots on takes off for the activated Tower. The others follow her.
Naia decides to end the attack. It was getting too dangerous and someone might be killed if she kept it up. She actually raises the land a little then lowers her energy shield a little. Now she will have some fun on Lyoko. In the Forest Sector she revealed her Snake monsters and now she decides to reveal another new monster.
As the group gets close to the activated Tower a blue blur knocks Mira off of the disc. Ark is hit but he stays on. "What the frak was that?" Ark looks and sees what tackled Mira. A new monster that looked like a blue poison dart frog with Naia's symbol on its back in bright pink. The monster has two bright red splotches under its eyes making them look like they glowed.
"Get it off of me!" Mira pushes but the Frog monster holds her down. The Frog monster opens its mouth and fires an energy beam destroying Mira.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam at the Frog monster but it leaps away. Its leap reminds the group of Krieger's Super Leap as it is little more than a blur. "Keep on it Sanne and I need to get to the activated Tower."
"I'll play with him." Krieger charges at the Frog monster with his sword and shield ready. The Frog monster fires a laser at him but misses. When Krieger gets close it leaps away. "Not so fast. Super Leap!" Krieger leaps off of the Overbike and slashes at the Frog monster. He cuts its front right leg but doesn't do much damage. The Frog monster lands then fires lasers at Krieger. He uses his shield to block them.
"Here's some help." Ark dives at the Frog monster on his disc. The Frog monster leaps away. Ark throws his spear at the Frog monster but misses.
"Super Leap!" Krieger leaps not at the Frog monster but at Ark's spear. He grabs it and throws it up at the Frog monster. The Frog monster twists in the air and the spear misses but the Frog monster leaves itself open for an attack. "Super Leap!" Krieger leaps and strikes the Frog monster cutting it across the Eye and destroys it.
"Good job Krieger." Ark pulls his spear out of the ground where it landed. "But you need a ride."
"Thanks." Krieger gets on the disc with Ark. "And to answer your question I haven't done anything like that with Skitz."
"Really?"
"Yes, I swear."
"Still going to kick your ass."
"You and what army?" Things ease between the two as they head after the others who were close to the activated Tower.
"Well no more Frogs." Sanne starts focusing on her energy as they get close. Two Mega Tanks are in front of the activated Tower. "She just wants a return so we have to do our homework over again."
"Great." Skitz was tired of doing the homework again and again. "This is getting annoying."
"Why she is doing it." Sanne fires an energy beam at a Mega Tank but only hits the hard outer shell. Dante fires energy orbs at the other one but only hits the hard outer shell.
"Skitz get close and beat on one while I attack the other. Sanne will be able to get in then."
"Already planning on that." Skitz jumps off of the Overboard and lands on top of the Mega Tank. Dante fires at the other Mega Tank as Sanne goes into the activated Tower.
"Got ya!" Naia tackles Sanne out of the activated Tower. "Tramp!" Naia punches Sanne hard.
"Scattershot!" Sanne unleashes her energy knocking Naia off of her. "Nice try." Sanne runs into the activated Tower again. Naia gets up and runs after her only to be blasted with another energy beam. Sanne gets her rocket boots off then goes up to the second platform. Naia recovers from the last blast and continues her chase. Sanne places her hand on the control panel and soon the screens fall around her. "The Tower is…" Sanne is stopped by Naia.
"Not so fast! You may have stopped my attack but I'm not done playing with you yet!" Naia uses her powers to block Sanne's attack then tackles her. "I hate you! You stole my man from me! He still loves me I know it!"
"He does Naia!" Sanne struggles with Naia. "Why he wants to save you so badly."
"Shut up!" Naia sparks with energy. "What would you know about what he wants!? You've warped him so badly with your temptations!"
"Because he told me! Help us help you and we'll save you and bring you back! I swear Naia!"
"And if he chooses me over you?!"
"I'll live with that!" Sanne sparks with energy. "Now get off of me so I can launch a return!"
"Fine." Naia turns into a black mist and disappears from the Tower going back to Sector 5. Sanne gets up and goes over to the control panel.
"Return to the past now." The white bubble comes up and reverses time.
Ark is sitting in his room waiting for Krieger. He was still upset over Krieger and his sister. When the door opens Ark unleashes a single punch hitting Krieger in the face. "There now we're even."
"Son of a bitch." Krieger holds his nose. "Sucker punch me will you?" Krieger lunges for Ark and knocks him to the floor.
"You deserved it!"
"Frak you!" Krieger punches Ark in the face. "Now we're even." Krieger stands up then helps Ark up.
"We'll see about that." Ark leaves the dorm room and gets his Jcell out. He calls Barack. "Hey Barack guess who Skitz is dating?"
"What?" Barack was glad to be alive after the attack
"Guess who my sister is dating. It's someone we know very well."
"I don't know, Krieger?"
"Yes! Good job." Ark hangs up on Barack then calls Sanne. "Hey Sanne guess who I just found out has been dating my sister?"
"Do I care?" Sanne was busy with homework.
"I think you will. We know the guy really well."
"Barack?"
"Guess again."
"The only guy left is Krieger." Ark doesn't say anything. "Oh my Gods those two?"
"Yep." Ark hangs up on Sanne. "Now we're even." Ark sparks with energy as he laughs evilly.
