Sanne is a wreck. After breaking up with Dante she still had to work with him on the Super Computer. She tried to be nice by Dante was mad at her and she understood why. She apologized several times but so far he would only reply with a grunt or a gruff we still need to work. What was really strange was Skitz's reaction to Krieger breaking up with her. Sanne assumed Skitz would be angry and blame her but Skitz hadn't said a word about it. Krieger said she threw a fit at first but told Sanne that Skitz had to know it wouldn't last.
On the weekend Sanne goes to the Factory and works on a solution for fixing Naia. "Dante I have an idea for fixing Naia."
"What?"
"Well if we merged her with someone who wasn't evil it should neutralize the corruption. If she wasn't evil anymore then we would just have to figure out how to separate the two."
"Ark?"
"Well, with the Naia not evil her power could be used to fight him. With her and the rest of us he should be beaten pretty quickly. Lock him in a Tower or something until Naia is fixed then work on him."
"And?"
"And what?"
"Who volunteers to merge with Naia?"
"Well we need someone close to her. Not like friendship wise but like, close. Blood related would be best but we can't do that."
"So?"
"Well she is a copy of my mother so that means my mother would be the next best person to use."
"Well?"
"We can't. If she calls the others they'd come and I don't want to ruin their lives and the way they would treat you," Dante cuts Sanne off.
"Wouldn't be any worse then the way you treated me."
"Damn it Dante I said I was sorry! I still love you but what do you expect me to do? I, we would never work out. When we were older could we marry? No my parents would try to kill you if they ever saw you! And once Naia is free she'll be on Earth pregnant and when its born you'll have to marry her. And do you really think I don't know that you still love her?"
"Well I,"
"Of course you still love her. And she loves you Dante. I'm sure once we free her from the corruption she'll forgive you."
"I, yes she would."
"Then stop acting like this! I'm sorry I broke up with you but I only stopped being your girlfriend not your friend. I still love you Dante and it hurts that I can't be with you but I love Krieger and I know I have a future with him. I know he loves me and no one else. He doesn't have another woman pregnant with his child waiting for him to save her."
"That doesn't mean I don't love you more, loved you first."
"I know you loved me first Dante and as confused as I was back then before I even started dating Krieger I felt something for you. But it can't be Dante." Sanne gets out of the computer chair and puts a hand on the monitor. "It would never work out Dante I'm sorry." She closes her eyes and sighs. "I love you Dante but," She is cut off by the Super Scan.
"Pulsations!" Dante closes the screen and runs out of the Way Tower. "Sanne the activated Tower is in,"
"The Rain Forest Sector. I'll call the others." Sanne gets her Jcell out and calls the others.
Skitz sees Sanne is calling but doesn't answer. The only reason Sanne would call her is if it was a Naia attack. "Krieger, Naia's attacking."
"What? How do you know?"
"Sanne called me. You know the only reason she would call is if Naia was attacking." Before Krieger can respond his Jcell rings. It takes him a couple rings to find his pants and his Jcell.
"Hello?"
"Naia is attacking."
"Oh great just as I'm about to uh, finish this homework."
"Sorry, maybe we won't need a return."
"Maybe, bye Sanne."
"I love you Krieger."
"I uh, yeah." Krieger hangs up on Sanne. "Um, we need to like get dressed and get over there."
"Why? Krieger she broke up with Dante I think she is going to like go for you again." Skitz hugs Krieger and kisses him. "I don't want to lose you. After that bastard traitor…" Skitz finishes her sentence with a growl.
"I'm sure Barack didn't see it like that. He only wanted to fight Xana so there would be a chance of seeing you again. If Xana, or Naia had won then he'd never see you again." Krieger kisses Skitz.
"Don't defend him." Skitz grabs her bra and shirt and puts them on. "Find your clothes so we can go. Prove I'm better then her. Kick Naia and my dumbass brother's butt again."
"Ok Skitz," Krieger gets dressed and leaves with Skitz not feeling the least bit guilty about lying to Sanne about breaking up with Skitz.
Barack gets the call. "Ok Sanne and don't call Mira she's here."
"Ok Barack, hurry but be careful we don't know what the attack is yet." Sanne and Barack hang up.
"Mira, Naia's attacking."
"Ok," Mira closes her history book. "Thanks for helping me Barack. Ark used to help me so much and now," Mira starts to tear up.
"Don't worry Mira we'll save him." Barack hugs Mira. "And maybe something will happen between Skitz and Krieger and she'll forgive me."
"You don't need to be forgiven Barack. Fighting Xana was everything and if she doesn't understand that then um, well, you could find someone else."
"And then they'd be attacked like everyone else who dates a Lyoko Warrior. Just like you and I were."
"I know but Naia and Ark aren't Xana. I still have no idea what Sanne meant when she said they were corrupt and evil but they weren't like evil evil just corrupted evil or something."
"It made my head spin to." Barack smiles. "We should go. Pray we don't do a return or we'll be stuck doing this all over again."
"Yeah pray," Mira and Barack leave Mira's room for the sewer entrance in the woods.
A French submarine in the English Channel doing military practice with the English navy starts to act weird. Suddenly it moves away from the practice zone and down a river. Distress signals are sent and the crew inside try to stop the submarine but it was as if it were possessed.
Sanne waits in the Control Room for the others. "Dante don't try to go alone, wait for the others."
"I am."
"Then why are you moving on the map?"
"The activated Tower is a long way away from the Way Tower. I figure I go close now but wait for you and the others."
"Ok, good thinking." Sanne leans back in the computer chair waiting for the others.
Krieger and Skitz are almost at the end of the sewer passage when they hear a rumble. "Was that thunder?" Krieger shakes his head.
"No Skitz they would have reported a planned storm on the radio or something." Krieger and Skitz hear another rumble.
"Then what is it?"
"I don't," Krieger is interrupted when the sewer water raises suddenly and nearly knocks him off of his feet. "I have an idea!" Krieger looks around for a ladder and sees one. The water is up to his waist before he can get to it. Skitz is nearly knocked over when the water rushes from an opening newly made by the submarine.
Another torpedo fires from the submarine shooting the wall between the sewers and the river creating a larger hole for the river water to rush into.
"Give me your hand!" Krieger reaches down for Skitz when a wall of water pours through the sewer and rips her off of the ladder.
"Aaaa!" Skitz tumbles down the sewer trying to stay above the water so she can breathe.
"Frak. The others might be down there." Krieger gets his Jcell out. "Waterproof, good." He calls Barack. "Get out of the sewers!"
"No frakking duh." Barack hangs up on Krieger. Soaked to the bone but ok after he and Mira got out of the sewer they continue towards the Factory on foot.
Sanne feels an explosion and turns the security cameras on. She can't see anything outside of the Factory so she doesn't see that the bridge had just been destroyed by missiles. Sanne and Dante were cut off from the others which is just what Ark and Naia wanted.
Krieger is panicking. He had no idea what would happen to Skitz but knows there was nothing he could but help deactivate the Tower. He runs to the Factory but before he gets there he sees the missiles fired from the submarine hit the bridge and destroy it. "Frak what do we do now?" He gets his Jcell out and calls Sanne. "Sanne, Naia destroyed the bridge."
"What? Where are you?"
"On the other side. Without the bridge the other side seems a lot farther away then it used to be."
"Frak."
"That's what I said."
"Um, well, no one else is here. Dante and I can't go alone we'd lose."
"I don't know what to tell you then Sanne."
"Um, try to find another way in."
"I'll try, love you."
"Love you to Krieger." They hang up. Krieger looks for a way into the Factory as Barack and Mira come up the street.
The sewer water starts to calm down and soon Skitz finds herself miles away from where she used to be. She was bruised and beaten up but she got lucky and hadn't broken anything. "Ow, that hurt." Skitz laughs a little trying to find a way out. Before she can two black mists enter the sewer and form into Naia and Ark. "What do you two want?"
"You of course." Naia smiles. "You would make a great partner Skitz. Join us please? Here," Naia waves her hand and dries Skitz's clothes. "Better?"
"My hair is still wet." Ark snaps his fingers and energy comes out drying Skitz's hair.
"Is that better sister?"
"Yes, thanks." Skitz glares at her brother. "Why do you want me? Like I could help you."
"You could sister. I miss you and hate being enemies. And really with these powers I feel incredible! I just want you to feel as great."
"That sounds nothing like the Ark I know."
"What can I say power has changed me."
"Shut up Ark. I have to get to the Factory."
"Don't bother we destroyed the bridge." Naia floats closer to Skitz. "Join us or be punished."
"What could you do to me that wouldn't be fixed by a return?"
"Something that won't get a return done." Naia smiles evilly. "So join us or be punished."
"I'd never join you. They all think I'm weak because I did drugs and I won't show that I'm so weak I'd join you!" Skitz punches Naia but does no damage. "Leave me alone!"
"Very well. Ark, we must be off." Naia and Ark turn into black mists leaving Skitz behind.
Sanne is panicking trying to figure out what to do. "Dante do you have any ideas?"
"No. Just send the vehicles and we'll go on our own. With your powers we might be able to make it."
"If we don't make it then we could launch a return and hope the others get here fast enough to get across the bridge."
"Yes but if, well, we'll need to do a return no matter what right? Why not just launch a return now then the others can make it."
"Ok Dante." Sanne brings up the return program. "Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up reversing time.
"Whoa." Krieger finds himself back in his dorm room with Skitz. "Hey, are you ok?"
"Of course I am." Skitz smiles. "The return healed me and I think I might have enough energy for…" Before Skitz finishes her phone rings. She looks at it and sees it is Sanne. "Naia is attacking already?"
"Wait for her to call me." Krieger's phone ring a few seconds later and he answers it. "Sanne?"
"Hurry to the Factory. I launched a return since we would need one no matter what happened. But if you don't get here before the bridge is destroyed we'll need another return."
"Ok." Krieger hangs up on Sanne before she can say anything else. "Come on Skitz we have to hurry."
"Fine." They leave the dorm room and head for the Factory.
Barack and Mira head for the Factory through the school entrance not being worried about being caught.
Ark and Naia do not posses a submarine. Instead they start a new attack. An attack that would get rid of Skitz forever.
Sanne worries about her friends until the alarm sounds. "Krieger and Skitz made it."
"Good." Dante was as close as he dared to get to the activated Tower without the others.
The elevator runs and goes straight to the Scanner Room. "Are you guys ready to go?"
"What Sector?" Krieger steps in a Scanner as does Skitz.
"Rain Forest Sector. Well Transfer Krieger, Transfer Skitz, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Skitz, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko near Dante. Sanne sends the vehicles as she waits for the others.
Barack and Mira make it to the Factory and run across the bridge. They take the elevator down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Barack, Transfer Mira, Scanner Barack, Scanner Mira, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko near the others. "I'm coming." Sanne sets up the auto transfer and sends herself to Lyoko.
"The Tower is close to us." Dante gets on the Overwing with Mira. Barack gets on the Overboard alone as Skitz goes over to the Overbike with Krieger. Sanne puts the rocket boots on. "We go east." Dante takes off for the activated Tower and the others follow.
Ark and Naia find what they were looking for an now wait for the Lyoko Warriors to get to the activated Tower.
The Lyoko Warriors see the activated Tower before any monsters show up. As they got close two Snake monsters come down from the trees and vines. "Watch out!" Barack fires a laser at one as it got close to Mira and Dante.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam at the same Snake monster but misses. "Alakazam!" He fires again but misses again.
"Scattershot!" Sanne fires eight beams but all miss as the Snake monsters go back into the trees and vines.
"Whoa!" Krieger dodges a blur. "Frog monster is here to!" Krieger gets his sword and shield out. He raises his shield just in time as the Frog monster lunges at him and tackles him off of the Overbike.
"Stealth," Mira disappears then jumps off of the Overwing.
"Extend," Skitz extends her clubs and dives at the Frog monster. "Leave him alone!" When she gets close Barack fires lasers and hits the Frog monster but misses the Eye. Skitz leans on the Overboard and swings a club. She slams it into the back of the Frog monster but also misses the Eye. The Frog monster leaps away.
"Super Leap!" Krieger jumps after it.
The Snake monsters come out of the trees again and fire lasers at the Lyoko Warriors. Mira leaps from branch to branch and is about to attack a Snake monster when Ark's spear flies from out of no where and spears her through the stomach. "Sorry Mira but go back to Earth."
"You bastard! I'll fuc…" Mira devirtualizes back to Earth.
"Ark!" Skitz flies away from the monsters and goes after her brother. "Barack get off!" Barack jumps off of the Overboard as Skitz continues after her brother.
Sanne closes her eyes and focuses on her inner powers. She opens her eyes and can see that things had slowed down. Sanne had been trying to practice how to use her energy better. Today she wanted to see if she could move the energy to her eyes and it had worked. She uses the rocket boots to fly down after the Frog monster that Krieger had been chasing.
The Frog monster leaps away from Krieger again and he uses another Super Leap to keep after it. He gets closer and closer with every leap when Sanne dives in front of the Frog monster. The Frog monster tries to change its direction in mid jump but slips on a branch, hits a vine, then crashes into another branch. "Super Leap!" Krieger takes his chance and spears the Frog monster with his sword destroying it. "Good job Sanne." He turns around and sees her flying after a Snake monster that was firing lasers at Dante. "Where's the other one?" Krieger looks for the other Snake monster.
"You bastard get back here!" Skitz chases after her brother who was getting farther and farther away.
"Now," Naia drops from the trees and tackles Skitz off of the Overboard. The fall to the path below.
"Get off of me!"
"No Skitz. I'm sorry but it's over for you." Naia sparks with energy and destroys Skitz.
"Very good Naia but what to do now?"
Wait for her to go away." Naia and Ark turn into black mists and leave Lyoko to watch Skitz.
The remaining Lyoko Warriors battle the Snake monster. "Alakazam!" Dante fires at the Snake monster. It moves back into the trees and vines. "Sanne go for the Tower! If it tries to attack you we'll get it."
"Ok," Sanne dives for the activated Tower on her rocket boots. The Snake monster comes out and fires lasers at her.
"Super Leap!" Krieger lunges for the Snake monster.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires at the Snake monster. Krieger gets in the way of the energy beam and is hit.
"Aaaa!" Krieger falls on the path below. "Dante you idiot!" Krieger gets back up angry at Dante.
"Sorry!"
"I'm sure." Krieger turns and looks for the Snake monster as it is about to get Sanne.
"Leave her alone!" Barack fires lasers at the Snake monster and hits it. He misses the Eye the first two times but the third time he gets it and destroys it. "Go Sanne before they send any more."
"I know." Sanne gets into the activated Tower. She takes off the rocket boots then flies up to the second platform. "The Tower is deactivated." The screens fall around her. Sanne sends the others back.
"I wonder where Skitz went." Krieger and the others take the elevator up to the Factory floor. Since the bridge was intact there was no reason for a return.
Skitz gets back to the Hermitage and opens her closet door. When she does a black cloud of smoke hits her in the face. She coughs and stumbles. She reaches out for something to grab and knocks a show box over. She continues to cough when she accidentally knocks a lamp over. When it shatters Samantha hears it and goes to Skitz's room.
"Skitz!" She runs over and can smell the smoke and what it was. "Jazz!" Samantha grabs Skitz by the hair and pulls her off of the floor. "Doing Jazz in my house?!" Samantha drags Skitz over to her bed and throws her down on it. "What the hell do you think you are doing!?" Samantha looks back at the closet and sees the overturned shoe box and a bag of pills. "Exotica? Exotica!" Samantha picks the bag of pills up and throws them at Skitz. "You're going home!"
"No, it's not mine." Skitz coughs hard. "I didn't do it I swear! I don't do drugs any more!"
"Shut up liar! You're a stupid druggie frakking…" Samantha lets loose a string of curse words as she grabs things of Skitz's and throws them on the bed next to Skitz. "Get your shit packed and get ready to go home!"
"But I didn't do it!" Skitz gets off of the bed but Samantha pushes her back. "Ark and Naia did this!"
"Shut the hell up! This is not your brother's fault! You're parents were always too lax with you and him and now he's ran away and you're doing drugs! Jim!" Samantha yells at the top of her lungs and he hears her from the kitchen. He comes up stairs and sees Skitz's room is a mess.
"What is going on Honey?"
"Skitz was doing drugs, again!"
"I was not! Ark and Naia are setting me up!"
"Shut up! You are going home! Jim call Odd and Sandra, now!" Jim jumps and goes to get a phone.
Skitz is waiting for a chance to get her phone to call Sanne. Skitz knew she wasn't doing drugs and was being set up. Ark and Naia were mad she wouldn't join them and were trying to get rid of her. All she had to do was call Sanne and get a return launched and everything would be fine.
"Samantha I have to go to the bathroom."
"Wait!" Samantha pats Skitz down. "No drugs, I'm surprised."
"You shouldn't be." Skitz goes to the bathroom and gets her Jcell out. She has a little trouble dialing Sanne's number as the Jazz was affecting her. "Sanne?"
"Skitz," Sanne is surprised. Skitz wouldn't talk to her normally. "What's wrong?"
"Samantha caught me with Jazz and Exotica. I need you to launch a return." Skitz coughs.
"No."
"But I, it wasn't mine."
"I'm sure Skitz."
"No Ark and Naia are setting me up." As messed up as Skitz was she doesn't sound serious and Sanne thinks she is lying.
"I'm sure. Skitz we won't launch returns just so you can keep doing drugs. Is there anything else you want?"
"I wasn't doing drugs! Ark and Naia are setting me up! I told them I wouldn't join them and they said they were getting rid of me. Please Sanne launch a return! I don't want to go home!"
"Skitz you're high right now aren't you?"
"A little but that's because," Sanne hangs up on her. "No, Sanne!" Skitz yells and the bathroom door opens.
"What are you doing? You think Sanne could talk me out of sending you home?" Samantha grabs the Jcell from Skitz. "You're parents are on the way here. You're going home once your stuff is packed."
"But I didn't do it! It's not mine!" Skitz starts to cry.
"Don't think that will work on me." Samantha grabs Skitz by the hair and drags her back to her room.
Sanne calls Krieger and tells him what happened. "So it looks like she is going back home."
"Damn it. We need her."
"I know Krieger but, I don't know. Did you know she was doing drugs again? I won't be mad if you did."
"No I didn't. If I had I would have called her parents myself. Maybe she started them um, after I broke up with her." Krieger hadn't but he had told Sanne he had. "Which means it's my fault."
"It isn't your fault Krieger. Skitz is weak. Well, she did lose her brother and then you breaking up with her, I'm not making excuses it is her fault but lots of stuff happened to her."
"I know. Um, are we seeing her off like last time?"
"I don't think so. She kept saying it was Ark and Naia. But the way she sounded she was probably trying not to laugh as she said it. She even admitted she was high when she called me trying to say it was Ark and Naia."
"Well, um, want me to come see you?"
"Well you could bring some food. Pizza for us and something chocolate for Dante ok?"
"Sure Sanne, love you."
"I love you to." They hang up.
Two weeks later and no attacks made the Lyoko Warriors nervous. What was keeping Naia and Ark from attacking? Sanne and Dante are arguing about Sanne's idea. "I'm telling you it is a bad idea Sanne."
"It's the only way. We can't use a blood relative or my mother."
"There has to be another way to fix her and stop Ark!"
"Then find one Dante! My idea will work and if we merge her," Dante cuts Sanne off.
"We're not merging her with you!"
"Why!? Think about it my energy is pure. When you were controlled by Xana my energy forced his evil out. We merge Naia and I together and my pure energy will get rid of the corruption and make the new person good. With my power and Naia's power combined we could stop Ark then work on a way to fix him and the knew me, Naia, whatever without worries of attacks."
"You can work on it I'll work on another solution."
"That's not a bad idea Dante. If you find another way that isn't so risky we can both work on it." Sanne hugs Dante. "I knew I kept you as a friend for a reason. Did you think I wanted to merge myself with Naia?"
"Well the way you were going on about it yes."
"Well I don't. But if it would save her and Ark I'd do it. Who knows there might not be a way to separate Naia and I after but at least she wouldn't be attacking us any more."
"That would be good but I'm sure Krieger wouldn't want to lose you."
"And you wouldn't want to lose Naia. Who knows if Naia and I get stuck together maybe we could work something out." Sanne smiles and laughs a little. "The two men I love most loving the two women they love most."
"If that happened I," Dante and Sanne are knocked down as two black mists come out and form into Ark and Naia.
"Hello friends." Ark smiles evilly
"Hello Lover." Naia smiles evilly.
"Attacking this directly?" Sanne backs away reaching for her phone.
"No I am going after the Super Computer while Ark keeps you occupied." Naia turns into a black mist and disappears.
"Ark fight it. You don't want to be evil." Dante moves between Ark and Sanne. "Stop this."
"No. Don't worry though I'm not here to hurt you. Once Naia is back we have something to tell you." Ark and the two wait and a minute later Naia comes back up from the Super Computer Room.
"Do you want to tell them or should I partner?"
"I will since it does involve my sister." Ark waves his hand and an orb appears. It shows a picture of Skitz curled up in a ball in a plain white room. "There she is in rehab. A rehab she doesn't deserve."
"She was still doing drugs." Sanne looks at Skitz and feels horrible for her. Skitz was a mess.
"No she wasn't. We offered her a chance to join us and she turned us down so we simply stole some drugs from a dealer and set up a trap for her. The second she opened her closet door it was tripped and well now you see where she is." Ark wipes the orb away.
"We'll launch returns to get her back."
"We thought you would say that so I just affected the Super Computer so you can't do that." Naia starts to laugh evilly. "You can't go back farther then about two minutes ago! Skitz will be left in that maximum security hell hole for months until her parents are convinced she's clean! But she won't be clean because the only way she's able to get away from the hell she is in is to get drugs from the other inmates who smuggle it in. Oh the things she has done for drugs. She has gone from such a strong woman who turned down a chance to have absolute power to a broken girl who will do anything or anyone for a hit of Zeus." Naia and Ark turn into black mists and disappear from the Control Room.
"No they must be lying." Sanne shakes her head. "They're lying they couldn't have set her up."
"What if they did?" Dante is stunned. If the two were telling the truth then he and Sanne had done something horrible. They hadn't trusted Skitz, a friend, and now she was in a rehab a broken person.
"Don't, don't tell the others." Sanne starts to cry. Skitz had been her best friend for over a decade and now she hadn't trusted Skitz when Skitz said she was being set up and there was no way to fix what they had done. Naia and Ark had not just gotten Skitz out of the group they had destroyed Sanne.
"Sanne don't cry." Dante hugs Sanne but Sanne keeps crying, and crying, and crying.
A/N Ah yes Skitz is sent home again. But unlike last time where she was just kept at home she has been sent to a hardcore rehab. But the rehab has had the opposite effect. Being thrown in there by her parents after her friends, or former friends, didn't believe her broke her and now her escape is drug use. And Sanne finding out about this has been broken herself. Naia and Ark appear to be far worse, or better, then Xana ever was with psychological attacks. Able to wait weeks to reveal their big plan…
