Naia is bored. Becoming evil had not made things more fun. "What to do with Sanne?"
"Involve Krieger this time." Ark rubs Naia's shoulders. "I'd love to play some mind games with those two. Always thought they were smarter than I. I have a great idea though." Ark smiles evilly.
"What do you have in mind Ark?"
"I know of a time when…" Ark tells Naia about a time long ago with Sanne and Krieger.
Sanne is going out of her mind. After Ark "ran away" the adults had grilled her and the others. It was tough not to tell them the truth. If they got involved they might be able to stop Naia faster but what would happen to her? To Dante? And the adults fought Xana once before they didn't need to have their lives interrupted by fighting Naia. And now she is trying to do homework and figure out a way to save Naia. "The area of a round triangle is the square root of negative nine. What are the lengths of the curved sides if they are all the same length? I hate this stuff!" Sanne grasps her head with her hands trying to stay calm. "I need to be helping Dante save Naia not wasting my time with this. If I had any frakking friends I could have them do it." Sanne feels a rush of emotions. Ever since Ark had left them everyone had turned on her and Dante. It was their program that caused Naia to go evil and took Ark.
Mars is coming back from the library when she hears Sanne swearing and talking about a Naia and about Ark. Mars backs away from the door not wanting to interrupt Sanne. But when she hears Sanne say she had no friends Mars feels like she has to do something. She opens the door. "Sanneareyouok?"
"Leave me alone Mars." Sanne did not want to deal with a Mars attack.
"SanneareyouokIjustheardyousayyouhavenofriendsbutyouhavelotsoffriendswhatswrong?" Once Sanne figures out what Mars said she replies.
"They're mad at me. They blame me for Ark running away."
"AndthegirlsnameisNaia?WasshelikeyourfriendandthenArkmetherandbrokeupwithMiraforher?" Again Sanne has to figure out what Mars says before replying.
"How long were you listening to me?"
"NotlongIwasjustabouttoenterwhenIheardyouandwasgoingtogoawaybutthenIheardyouandlikefeltlikeIneededtodosomething." Sanne sighs.
"Mars why do you talk so fast?"
"Italkfast?Ineverreallynoticedit."
"Never mind. I, well, could you go away?"
"IguessbutifyouneedsomeonetotalktoI'llbehereforyouroomie." Mars leaves the dorm room.
"I just need to get away for awhile. A vacation or something. Go back home for a week even." Sanne rests her head on her forearms on the desk.
Krieger and Skitz are going back to the dorm building after a date. "Are you sure you're ok Skitz? He was, is, your brother."
"He deserves a swift kick to the groin. I'd be the one to give it." Skitz clenches her hands into fists.
"He turned on us but he didn't think this would happen. I'm sure he just wanted to annoy Sanne like he did."
"It doesn't excuse what he did."
"I know but he thought he was joining Naia not Xana or whatever it is we're fighting now."
"That's real great isn't it? We beat Xana. We did something that our parents couldn't do. But no we weren't done we had to fight Naia. And now we have to fight something that isn't Xana or Naia."
"It sucks I know." Krieger grabs one of Skitz's hands and squeezes it.
"And its Sanne's fault. If she weren't such a, a, I don't know! We should have told our parents when they were here!"
"We can't do that. As bad as it is we can't ruin our parent's lives with this. We were the dumb asses first. We all were not just Sanne. She turned it on but we all agreed to leave it on."
"Defending her?"
"Keeping us in our place. We can't see ourselves as better because we made the same mistake. And we relied on Sanne to fix things. Who is dumber?"
"Damn it Krieger do you have to put it out like that?"
"Yes. I have to make sure I don't forget how stupid I was. I should have forced you guys to keep the damn thing off. If I had then Xana never would have been released."
"And Sanne never would have cheated on you. If that didn't happen then you wouldn't have broken up with her and we wouldn't have started dating. I wouldn't have been able to touch these," Skitz puts a hand under Krieger's shirt and feels the muscles. "Grrr."
"Not again Skitz we're already late for curfew."
"Ok I guess I'll just have to wait for tomorrow." Skitz kisses Krieger hard on the lips biting the lower one before pulling away.
"Yeah, tomorrow." Krieger goes to the dorm building as Skitz continues towards the Hermitage.
Krieger goes to his dorm room after taking a long shower and finds it empty. It was weird not having Ark and his things there and Krieger wonders who would be his new roommate and when they would get to Kadic Academy. He lies down in his bed and falls asleep.
Sanne finishes her homework then goes to her bed wondering where Mars was. She lies down and falls asleep.
"Now." Ark activates a Tower and begins his attack.
Sanne finds herself near her family cottage in Russia. It was a dream she hadn't had before. It was winter and snow was lightly falling. Krieger was there and they were making a snowman. This was a nice dream and makes her feel good. But soon she loses herself in the dream and it is as if Little Sanne was the only Sanne.
Krieger finds himself near the Belpois cottage in Russia. It was a dream he hadn't had before. It was winter and snow was lightly falling. Sanne was there and they were making a snowman. This was a nice dream and makes him feel good. But soon he loses himself in the dream and it is as if Little Krieger was the only Krieger.
Ark and Naia watch the dream. "What are you doing Ark? This isn't playing on their minds."
"Just wait Naia you will see." Ark continues his attack.
The snow starts to come down harder and the wind starts to blow. Little Sanne and Little Krieger start to get worried. "We should go back to the cottage." Little Sanne starts to have strange feelings towards Little Krieger.
"Ok Sanne." Little Krieger has strange emotions of hatred and anger at Little Sanne. He doesn't know why he has these feelings.
They wander through the snow as it comes down harder. Soon they get lost and being little kids get scared. Naia likes this. "Very good Ark. Xana loved to give Sanne nightmares just to torture her."
"Oh this is much more than a nightmare. Keep watching Naia and prepare to be amazed." Ark starts to laugh evilly.
As the snow comes down even harder Little Sanne and Little Krieger get more lost. Unfortunately they were about to be found. "What's that?" Little Sanne gets close to Little Krieger and hugs him as a black figure moves through the snow. "Aaaa!" Little Sanne screams as a wolf comes out from the shadows.
"Sanne be quiet!" Little Krieger Gets between Little Sanne and the wolf to protect her.
"Krieger!" Little Sanne screams in terror as the wolf lunges for them. It bites Little Krieger on the forearm.
"Aaaa!" Little Krieger screams in pain. "Get away!"
"No Krieger!" Little Sanne wasn't going to leave Little Krieger behind. She kicks at the wolf but this only annoys it.
"Aaaa!" Krieger jerks awake in his bed. "Wow, that, wow." Krieger is sweating heavily and breathing hard. "No way," He feels an intense pain in his right arm and when he looks at it he sees bites marks. "Then it was real? But, Naia!" Krieger gets his phone and calls Sanne but she doesn't answer. He calls Mira who wakes up. "Mira, check on Sanne!"
"What? Why?"
"I think Naia might be attacking."
"Ok." Mira and Krieger hang up. Mira sneaks out of her room and goes down to Sanne's. Before she even opens the door she can hear screaming. She opens the door and sees Sanne thrashing on the bed as bite marks and scratches appear on her body. She calls Dante. "Dante, Naia is attacking!"
"No she isn't." Dante looks at the monitor. "The Super Scan isn't, what's that noise?"
"Sanne's screaming because she's being attacked! She's dreaming or something but won't wake up and all these like bite marks are on her body! Do something Dante before she like gets hurt more!" Mira was panicking listening to Sanne's screams. "Hurry Dante!"
"I don't know what to do." A black mist appears behind him.
"I know what to do." Dante turns around to see Naia. "Surrender Dante. I still love you and want you. Surrender to me and I will let Sanne live."
"I would never join you! How are you attacking?!"
"I am not attacking Ark is. He is a genius with his attacks." Naia smiles evilly as she turns into a black mist and disappears back to Sector 5.
"Ark is attacking? Then the activated Tower probably has a different frequency and the Super Scan isn't detecting it." Dante rushes over to the control panel and changes the Super Scan and soon it finds the activated Tower. "Rain Forest Sector, but I'll need help." Dante calls the others.
The Lyoko Warriors hurry to the Factory. Mira tries to shake off Sanne's screaming and thrashing but can't.
Little Sanne is in the snow curled up into a ball covered in blood. The wolf circles her. "Go away. Go away!" Little Sanne cries. Little Krieger had just disappeared leaving her alone with the wolf.
The Lyoko Warriors get to the Factory and hurry down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Mira, Transfer Barack, Transfer Skitz, Scanner Mira, Scanner Barack, Scanner Skitz, and virtualization. Transfer Krieger, Scanner Krieger, and virtualization." Dante sends them then the vehicles before joining them. "We have to go north from here." Dante gets on the Overwing and heads north.
"Wait!" Mira had been use to riding on Ark's disc but now needed a vehicle. "What about me?"
"Get on Skitz!" Krieger revs the engine of the Overbike and Skitz jumps on the back. Barack gets on the Overboard.
"Mira over here." Mira runs over and gets on the Overboard behind Barack. They take off after Dante.
"Now what Ark? You won't kill her yet will you?" Naia was loving this. She got to watch and be surprised by an attack.
"I'll leave her be, for now. I'm going to go play with our old friends." Ark turns into a black mist and goes to the activated Tower.
As the Lyoko Warriors get close to the activated Tower an eerily feeling falls on them. When they get closer and see the Tower they understand why. The activated Tower has a dark purple aura that spreads farther out from the activated Tower then a normal activated Tower. "Ark activated the Tower?" Skitz is stunned and a little scared. She had never thought of Ark as anything but a goofball, her goofball. But now she was seeing a much darker side of him and it scared her.
"Yes I did!" Ark appears in his new form. His fur was now a dark purple and he has longer claws. The tail was skinnier and shorter but his spear was larger and the pointed broader. "Krieger you woke up. I should try harder next time I guess." Ark points his spear at Krieger.
"Why did you target me?"
"Well, Sanne of course because of Naia's hatred for her and my hatred for her but you? You're frakking my sister."
"He is not Ark!" Skitz gets her clubs out. "And even if I did it wouldn't be any of your business!"
"Yes it would be! I am your brother and he was my friend. Yet he goes and fraks you without even asking me if he could date you! It would have been nice to have at least been asked."
"We don't need to do anything like that Ark! You wanted independence from me!" Skitz flies close to Ark. "I hate you! I can't believe you turned on us!"
"Frak you Skitz! Wait Krieger's doing that." Ark swings his spear at Skitz but she backs away and he misses.
"He is not!" Skitz dodges another swing of the spear then goes in for an attack of her own. Ark blocks it easily.
"How long until that happens then? I can't believe my own sister is such a little slut. Although you seem to be tasting the rainbow. A half black and now a half yellow. What is next a half red?"
"If you can find someone who is half Indian then maybe. Why do you care it is none of your business!" Skitz tries again but Ark blocks her attack.
"I have to look after you after all you are family. Join us Skitz and share in our power." Ark knocks one of Skitz's clubs away.
"Never!" Skitz tries to attack again but Ark is bored with fighting with her and skewers her on his spear sending her back to Earth.
"Who is next? I want to play."
"Shut up Ark!" Krieger gets his sword and shield out. "Man I can't believe you turned on us!"
"I didn't I was the one who was turned on! Sanne turned on all of us! I just wanted a chance to get my revenge!"
"Revenge this!" Krieger attacks Ark. He blocks a thrust from Ark with his spear and slashes at him with his sword cutting him on the arm.
Dante watches the fight slowly moving towards the activated Tower. He hopes Ark stays distracted enough not to notice him.
"Come on Krieger aren't you the best fighter we have?" Ark has Krieger retreating. "I can't believe you've lasted this long if this is the best you have." Ark swings his spear in a wide arc hitting Krieger's shield hard. Krieger is knocked backwards. "Krieger you are a horrible warrior."
"You have to cheat just to fight me! Without your powers you'd be nothing!" Krieger ducks under a swing of the spear and uses his shield to slam into Ark. He turns around and swings his sword as hard as he can to slash Ark across the chest.
"Try again Krieger." Ark's chest sparks with energy and heals the cut Krieger made. "I'm bored with you." Ark sparks with more energy and attacks Krieger. Krieger does not go down as easily as Skitz does and is able to fight back.
Dante runs for the activated Tower sensing Ark was going all out to crush Krieger. He makes it to the activated Tower and goes up to the second platform. "The Tower is deactivated." The screens fall around him.
At the dorm building Sanne wakes up from her dream covered in bite marks and scratches. She cries in pain unable to get up.
After Dante sends everyone back to Earth they hurry to Kadic Academy to check on Sanne. Krieger opens the door and finds Sanne crying, alone. Not wondering where Mars is Krieger goes over to Sanne. "Sanne are you ok?" Skitz and Mira follow him in while Barack keeps watch in the hallway.
"I, I," Sanne can't answer through her sobs.
"Its going to be ok we'll take you to the Factory and get you scanned." Krieger and Mira help Sanne off the bed.
As they hurry to the school's sewer entrance they are unfortunately caught. "What's going on here?" Jim was coming back from the principals' office after catching two teens out of bed after curfew.
"Sanne was hurt." Jim sees Sanne's wounds and panics.
"What happened? How did this happen? Where were you kids!?" Jim panics more as he picks Sanne up and runs for the Infirmary. Krieger gets his Jcell out and calls Dante.
"Jim saw us we can't get her to the Factory."
"I see, a return is needed then." They hang up. "Return to the past now." The white bubble comes up reversing time.
Ark and Naia wait for evening once again. As soon as Krieger and Sanne fall asleep Ark launches his attack.
Sanne and Krieger find themselves in the woods again. This time they don't lose themselves and know they are dreaming. "We need to get back to the cottage." Sanne looks around wondering where the wolf was.
"And then what Sanne? Ark might send the wolf there." Krieger has the feelings and thoughts of what he would back then mixing with his current thoughts and feelings. "We need to get a weapon or something."
"All we have around here are branches and stuff. If we get to the cottage we can hide inside."
"Where is the cottage from here?" Already the snow was coming down harder and making visibility lesser.
"Um, I think that way." Sanne starts towards where she thinks the cottage is and Krieger follows her.
The Lyoko Warriors are oblivious. They do not think that Ark would attack again so soon. Thankfully Dante works on the Super Scan to detect Ark activated Tower and soon he finds it. "Already? Ark why are you doing this?" Dante gets his Jcell out and calls the others.
Barack goes to Krieger's room and finds him twitching on the bed. Barack attempts to wake him up but Krieger won't wake up.
Mira goes to Sanne's room and finds her twitching on the bed. Mira attempts to wake her up but Sanne won't wake up.
Dante is called by Mira and Barack and worries. If Sanne and Krieger did not wake up then Ark could hurt them a lot more or even kill them. Dante wasn't sure what would happen if one or both died in their dream.
Sanne and Krieger run through the woods getting lost. As they get lost the feelings and thoughts of what they had back then start to take over. "I'm scared." Sanne starts to cling to Krieger as she becomes more like the eight year old version that was in her dream.
"Its ok Sanne we'll find the cottage." Krieger was also merging more into the Krieger that was in his dream. They trudge through the snow as it gets deeper.
The Lyoko Warriors make it to the Factory and hurry to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Mira, Transfer Barack, Transfer Skitz, Scanner Mira, Scanner Barack, Scanner Skitz, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko. Dante sends the vehicles then himself. "Same way." He jumps on the Overwing and takes off for the activated Tower worrying more and more about Sanne and Krieger.
Sanne and Krieger are getting more lost and scared when Ark steps up the attack. This time two wolves appear ready to tear the two apart. "What do we do!?" Sanne clings tightly to Krieger.
"I won't let them hurt you." Krieger hugs Sanne ready to use his body as a shield. The wolves growl and nip at the two backing them towards a tree.
The Lyoko Warriors see the activated Tower and wait for Ark to appear. Instead Ark sends his creation, the Mountain Lion monster along with Naia's creation the Frog monster. "Dante stay back we can't afford to lose you." Barack points his laser gun at the Frog monster and fires. The Frog monster leaps out of the way.
"I can't just stay back and do nothing." Dante gets his wand out. "Alakazam!" He fires at the Mountain Lion monster and misses when it dodges it.
"Extend," Skitz lengthens her clubs ready to attack.
"Stealth," Mira disappears hoping to get close to the monsters to take them out with her Kodachi.
Sanne and Krieger are backed into a tree. "Krieger," Sanne starts to cry completely becoming Little Sanne.
"I won't let them hurt you." Krieger puts his body between Sanne and the wolves. A wolf bites him on the arm but Krieger doesn't move. The other wolf bites him on the back of his thigh but Krieger doesn't move. He wasn't going to let Sanne get hurt.
On Lyoko the Warriors were doing poorly. Ark and Naia watch. "Hmmm without Krieger they can barely fight off two of our monsters." Naia wraps her arms around Ark from behind and rests her chin on his shoulder. "You had been unable to defeat him easily."
"I know. I was playing with him at first but he really is a great warrior. We could do a lot with him on our side."
"Maybe but he is strong willed. I doubt he would join us unless something major happened."
"I know," Ark smiles evilly as the wheels turn in his head.
Barack battles with the Frog monster after being attacked by it and knocked off of the back of the vehicle. He swings his BFK at the Frog monster but it leaps away. It fires a laser at Barack who blocks it with his BFK.
Skitz and Mira tackle the Mountain Lion monster. It is agile and fast giving the two close combat fighters a hard time. Mira was using her stealth but the monster seemed to have a sixth sense of where she was.
Dante aims at one monster then the other but with the close combat fighting he'd be just as likely to hit an ally as he was to hit the monster.
Krieger is bleeding profusely. Both in his dream and in real life. Sanne was untouched but as Krieger gets weak one wolf bites the back of his coat and drags him away from Sanne. "No, Krieger, Aaaa!" Sanne screams in pain as the other wolf attacks her.
Dante decides he has to take a chance and attacks. "Alakazam!" He fires an energy beam at the Mountain Lion monster and hits it on the back leg. It is crippled which allows Mira and Skitz to attack and destroy it.
"Help!" Barack pushes the Frog monster off after it tackled him again. It fires a laser in close range and hits him.
"Leave him alone!" Skitz throws a club at the Frog monster. It bounces off after missing the Eye. It turns and leaps at Skitz but the stealthed Mira is in the way and it runs into her Kodachi. Mira cuts it badly on the stomach but doesn't hit the Eye. The Frog monster goes to leap away when Dante hits it on the Eye with an energy orb destroying it.
"Hurry Dante before they send anymore!" Dante sits up slowly hurting from the laser.
Dante runs into the activated Tower and soon the screens fall around him. "The Tower is deactivated." Dante sends the others back to Earth.
Sanne and Krieger wake up from their dream at the same time. Sanne is in a lot of pain but she has some force driving her to see Krieger.
Krieger is in a lot of pain but he has some force driving him to see Sanne.
Sanne stumbles down the hall leaving a trail of blood behind her when her wounds break open.
Krieger stumbles down the hall leaving a trail of blood behind him when his wounds break open.
Sanne gets to the staircase and goes up the stairs.
Krieger gets to the staircase and sees Sanne coming up the stairs. He goes down the stairs and when they are close they hug. "I'm so sorry Sanne. I said I wouldn't let you get hurt."
"You did your best." Sanne looks into his eyes about to cry. "You protected me." Sanne thought Krieger hated her but he protected her. He was going to give his life to protect her.
"I tried." Krieger hugs Sanne hard.
"Ow." Krieger lets go.
"I'm sorry."
"No Krieger I'm sorry." Sanne kisses him on the lips. He kisses her back. They continue to kiss until they hear a door open. By the time the other Lyoko Warriors are to the staircase Sanne and Krieger are limping down the stairs.
"Hey you two want to go to the Factory and get scanned?" Skitz goes over to Krieger to help him as Mira goes to help Sanne.
"Sure, sounds like a great idea." Krieger laughs a little.
"The school entrance is closer."
"No way Sanne Jim caught us last time remember? We have to take the sewer entrance in the woods." Barack gets between Sanne and Krieger to help both as Skitz gets on the other side of Krieger and Mira on the other side of Sanne.
The group limps out to the woods and helps the two injured warriors down the ladder. They don't see or feel the eyes watching them. "Perfect Ark how did you know that would happen?" Naia is impressed.
"I knew if I mixed some emotions between the two with a little Wild Rabbit it would do that." Ark smiles evilly.
"Wild Rabbit? I never saw that when did you get it?"
"Earlier. I wanted it to be a surprise. Hard drug to find but as you saw it affected them."
"Yes Ark, yes it did." Naia and Ark watch the injured warriors helped to the Factory to be scanned.
