Sanne is with Krieger trying to get the truth out of him. "Krieger, Skitz said you didn't break up with her until after she was sent home. I don't want to believe her but we know what happened the last time I didn't trust her."
"Why would it matter?" Krieger was getting annoyed. After what Sanne had done to him with Dante was she really going to get mad at him for something like this? "I'm not with her any more."
"Because it means you were making love with me and her at the same time. That's wrong Krieger."
"First I never made love" Krieger does little quotes with his hands. "With Skitz. Sure we frakked and she was damn good at it but we never made love. Second you want to tell me what's wrong after what you did with Dante?"
"I, that was different. I never made love with him while I was with you and I loved him. You didn't love Skitz you just said so."
"Well guess what Sanne? I was worried that it would be a month or two before you came crawling to me saying you were sorry but you loved Dante and couldn't be with me. So yes I didn't break up with Skitz and I was frakking her while I was with you. Happy now?!"
"Yes." This surprises Krieger. "I, I'm not mad at you. I know you love me and um I did hurt you. And I understand you being worried about that. Please don't though I love you too much to do that."
"Wow." Krieger is too stunned to say anything else.
"I'm sorry." Sanne hugs Krieger. "I'm sorry I make you worry about that. Please don't."
"Wow," Krieger hugs Sanne back still stunned. He assumed this would be it. If he told Sanne what he had done she would break up with him. Instead she was apologizing for making him worry.
Ark and Naia are wondering what to do. They tried to frame Skitz for Sanne's murder but Skitz refused and when Naia tried to do it something inside of Sanne protected her. And the Lyoko Warriors had defeated their monsters. "We need something new. Something more powerful then any of our other monsters. What shall we make?" Naia smiles evilly at Ark.
"I know of a time that Xana made a, clone, of one of our parents. It was strong and if we could make something like that. But not like a polymorphic clone needing a Tower."
"Very good Ark." Naia and Ark plan their new monster and a way to test it out on the Warriors.
Barack is on the phone with Mira. "Yeah sure. I need some help on my homework anyways. I'll be over in a few minutes."
"See you." They hand up. Barack starts to sweat. He was single, Mira was single. Ever since the ones they had been with left them they had been hanging out more. Doing homework, talking, and friend stuff. But as the days passed Barack started having feeling for Mira and wondered if she had them back for him.
After lunch Ark and Naia are ready. Naia activates a Tower as Ark works on the new monster.
Sanne hears her Jpocket beep and checks it. "Krieger, Naia and Ark are attacking." She checks where the activated Tower was. "Ice Sector. We better hurry before the attack gets to us."
"Ok," Krieger and Sanne hurry to the sewer entrance in the woods as they call the others.
Barack is trying to work up the nerve to ask Mira out when his phone rings. "Hello?"
"Barack, Naia and Ark are attacking."
"Ok Sanne, Mira is here so don't bother to call her."
"Mira's there?"
"We're doing homework. Um, we'll be there."
"Ok, see you." The two hang up.
"Mira, Ark and Naia are attacking." Barack worries about Mira's reaction to hearing Ark's name but hurries to the sewer entrance in the woods with her.
Ark and Naia watch the Lyoko Warriors run towards the Factory. "Like drawing flies to honey it's so easy. Don't even have to attack on Earth just activate a Tower and they come."
"Like trained dogs." Ark and Naia laugh evilly.
Dante gets back from a fast food place when he hears the Super Scan beeping. "Crap." He puts the bags of food down and calls Sanne. "Sanne, Ark and Naia are attacking."
"I know we're on our way. Where were you?"
"Out eating, sorry."
"Don't be you need to eat. We'll be there soon bye Dante."
"Bye Sanne." Sanne hangs up. Dante holds the phone to his ear. "I still love you." Dante hangs his phone up and puts it away.
The four meet up in the sewers and continue to the Factory. With no idea what the attack was they are careful as they climb out of the sewers. Ark decides to make an appearance. "Hello friends."
"Former friends." Krieger gets between Ark and the others.
"That's not very nice. Here I come to see you and you have to be mean to me." Ark smiles evilly. "Anyways enjoy yourselves. I do hope you deactivate the Tower before her attack is complete." Ark turns into a black mist and disappears. The four run across the bridge into the Factory.
Dante hears the elevator running. It goes straight to the Scanner Room. "Dante send us."
"Transfer Sanne, Transfer Krieger, Transfer Mira, Scanner Sanne, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Mira, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Ice Sector. "Barack I'll send you with me using the auto transfer." Dante sends the vehicles then sets it up and takes the ladder down. He and Barack get in the Scanner and soon land next to the others.
"Where do we go?" Sanne already has the rocket boots on and is ready to go. Hoping they would deactivate the Tower before Naia's attack was complete. Of course she had none…
"North west." Dante gets on the Overwing as does Mira.
"Hey Mira you want the Overboard?" Barack walks over to the Overwing letting Mira have the Overboard.
"Sure! Thanks buddy." Mira jumps off of the Overwing and runs over to the Overboard.
The group takes off for the activated Tower as Ark sets up and completes his new monster.
The Lyoko Warriors get to the activated Tower with no problems. This makes them suspicious. They look around for a surprise attack but Ark makes it no surprise when he appears. "Hello friends."
"Ark, where's your partner?"
"She is still busy. We have you a new playmate for you." Ark holds a hand out and a silver blob is in it. "Enjoy him." The silver blob drops to the ground and crawls towards Krieger.
"Crap no Eye." Krieger gets his shield and sword out.
"It doesn't need an Eye. Watch him. He's a beautiful monster really. Probably our best one yet." When the silver blob gets close to Krieger it morphs and changes into Krieger! It's darker and the sword and shield were larger but it looked like Krieger. "See? Such a good copy cat."
"We'll see." Krieger is confident he could take the monster. He had trained for years in martial arts and with a wooden sword. His sword was nothing different on Lyoko. "What do you have?" Krieger gets in a fighting stance.
"What do you have?" The Mimic copies Krieger's movement.
"I asked you first."
"I asked you first." This confuses Krieger.
"No you didn't."
"No you didn't."
"Ark does this thing know how to speak or will it only repeat whatever I say?" Ark shrugs his shoulders.
"Ark does this thing know how to speak or will it only repeat whatever I say?" Krieger smiles thinking he knew a way to beat the Mimic easily.
"Monkey see monkey do." Krieger punches himself in the stomach but the Mimic doesn't. "Ok not exactly like that." The Mimic attacks Krieger with his sword. Krieger blocks it with his shield and jabs with his.
"Go after Ark and I'll go for the Tower." Sanne was focusing on her energy and ready to make a move.
"Stop! You will not attack me. I will not attack you. You will fight our new pet one at a time. If you do not beat him you fail."
"That sounds fair." Barack wants a shot at fighting the Mimic.
"You won't get it!" Krieger blocks a swing from the Mimic and attacks. He slashes with his sword but the Mimic uses his shield to block it. "Super Leap!" Krieger tries to get the speed advantage but the Mimic is just as fast. Krieger slams his shield into the Mimic's shield then swings his sword over his head. The Mimic blocks the sword with his then slides his sword down the length of Krieger's blade and gets it over Krieger's shield stabbing him through the chest. "Frak," Krieger devirtualizaes back to Earth.
"I'm next." Barack fires a laser at the Mimic. It blocks the laser with the shield then morphs into Barack. "Hey I look pretty cool like that." The Mimic was wearing Ice Camo much like Barack was but his laser gun was larger and the BFK was longer. "Let's see how long you last." Barack fires lasers at the Mimic and it fires back. Its lasers were larger but Barack was able to dodge them.
The two run around shooting at each other. Mimic jumps behind an ice block. Barack fires at it while moving towards another ice block. The Mimic jumps out on the left and fires a laser beam. Barack ducks and fires back. "You couldn't hit the barn side of a broad!" Barack fires at the Mimic.
"You couldn't hit the barn side of the broad!" The Mimic fires at Barack and hits him on the arm.
"Frak that hurt." For once the Mimic says something original.
"Did it? I wouldn't know." The Mimic fires at Barack again but misses this time. "Frak I missed."
"Of course you did you suck at mimicking me!" Barack fires more lasers at the Mimic but keeps missing.
The two fire laser after laser at each other. At first it seemed an even match but Barack was getting tired running around and dodging lasers. "Stand still and take a hit!" Barack fires and misses.
"I'll stand still but I don't see what difference that will make." Mimic stops but when Barack fires at him he pulls his BFK out and blocks the laser. "I stood still and you still couldn't hit me." Mimic fires at Barack and gets him in the chest. "One more hit should do it."
"You won't get it!" Barack dodges a laser and charges the Mimic. He pulls the BFK out and goes to stab the Mimic when it moves, spins, and throws his BFK at Barack getting him in the stomach.
"You moved…" Barack is devirtualized back to Earth.
"Two down three to go. Who will step up?" Ark is enjoying the show and can't wait for the next fight.
"I will." Mira gets her Kodachi out. The Mimic morphs and changes into a darker version of Mira. Her Kodachi are slightly smaller but the Mimic was smaller, lighter, faster.
"Stealth." The Mimic disappears.
"Frak, Stealth." Mira disappears.
"This is no fun, take it off!" The Mimic reappears. "Mira take it off or I'll destroy you and you won't have a chance to lose to our new monster." Mira drops her stealth. "Good," Ark continues to watch the fight.
"First time as a woman, feel different?" Mira and Mimic circle each other waiting for a chance to strike.
"No. I am what you'd like to be aren't I? Skinnier, smaller."
"Shut up she looks damn good!" Barack had the headset on and yells at the Mimic.
"Thanks Barack." Mira lunges at Mimic but the Mimic dodges her. "Get back here wimp! Won't stand and fight me!"
"I could." Mimic dodges Mira's next attack. "He doesn't love you any more. He and Naia are together now."
"Shut up!" Mira was not going to be distracted. She was going to destroy the Mimic. "You're supposed to be faster but you can't even attack me!" Mira swings one Kodachi but the Mimic blocks.
"I can," The Mimic slashes with its other Kodachi and barely misses Mira's stomach. "I thought your stomach was bigger then that. I guess I was wrong." It swings again.
"I'm not fat!" Mira slashes at the Mimic again. "I won't fall for such stupid insults!" Mira does a round house kick making Mimic back off. "Even Ark could come up with better ones."
"I am not Ark I am simply his creation." Mimic attacks Mira again this time cutting her across the face with a Kodachi.
"Frak that hurt!" Mira stabs at Mimic but misses.
"Of course it did." The Mimic slashes Mira again in the face. "How about we cut off some here?" Mimic slashes Mira again in the face.
"Leave my face alone!" Mira lunges with both Kodachi. Mimic is able to parry one Kodachi but the other cuts her across the chest. "Stealth." Mira disappears. Before Mimic can react Mira cuts her twice.
"Cheat!" Ark sends energy bolts at the area Mira was at and destroys her. "Who is next?"
"I am." Sanne steps forward knowing she had an advantage. Even if the Mimic had her Scattershot and Bubble it didn't have her inner powers. "So you think you can handle this?"
"Sanne you are nothing to me." Mimic morphs and changes into a darker Sanne. "Are you ready to lose?"
"Scattershot!"
"Bubble!" The Bubble takes three hits then is destroyed. Mimic dodges two more energy beams and fires one of her own.
"Bubble." The Bubble takes the hit as Sanne focuses on her energy. "You lose!" Her wings explode from my back and she takes off into the air.
"I think not." Mimic closes her eyes and soon a pair of black angelic wings explodes from her back. She takes off into the air after Sanne. Mimic fires energy beams at Sanne who dodges them in the air.
"Impressive I didn't think you could do that." Sanne does a flip in the air and fires an energy beam at Mimic. Mimic dodges the energy beam and fires one back at Sanne.
"I copy everything you are."
"Then copy this!" Sanne fires an energy beam at the Mimic. It fires one back at Sanne and the energy beams collide. Sanne sends more energy and the Mimic sends more energy. Sanne closes her eyes and focuses on her energy and sends more and more energy at the Mimic. The Mimic tries to send more energy but Sanne shows that her inner powers were far stronger then what the Mimic had. Instead of losing the battle the Mimic breaks the connection and dodges the energy coming from Sanne.
"I refuse to lose!" The Mimic flies straight at Sanne.
"Bubble!" The Mimic bounces off.
"Yes, wonderful!" Ark is ecstatic getting to watch a great battle. "Get her our pet make her hurt!"
"Now is my chance." Dante slowly moves towards the activated Tower while Ark watches the battle.
Sanne does a back flip and the Mimic flies past her. Sanne fires an energy beam after the Mimic but it dodges it.
The two battle in the air firing energy beams at each other. Sometimes using Bubbles to block the energy beams or just dodging them. Dante gets closer and closer to the Tower.
"Aaaa!" Sanne is hit on the wing with an energy beam and falls to the ground below.
"Prepare to go back to Earth Sanne." The Mimic fires another energy beam at Sanne but she rolls out of the way.
"I haven't lost yet." Sanne is about to take off into the air again when her wings explode. She had used too much energy and hadn't enough left. The pink feathers surround her protecting her as the Mimic fires energy beams at Sanne.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires an energy beam before jumping into the activated Tower. The energy beam hits the Mimic's wing but this only distracts the Mimic. Sanne stays in the cloud of feathers knowing it was the safest place while she tried to focus on her energy again.
Dante goes up to the second platform and put his hand on the control panel. Soon the screens fall around him. "The Tower is deactivated."
"No!" Ark had been too distracted by the battle to even notice Dante until it was too late. "Well, our new pet was successful. It won every battle. Very good," Ark turns into a black mist, flies towards the Mimic, and takes it with him to Sector 5.
Dante uses the control panel to send Sanne back to Earth then himself.
The Lyoko Warriors meet in the Control Room. "That was tough. I can't believe I lost to it."
"Don't worry Krieger we all did." Mira touches her face where she had been cut. She had been scanned healing her wounds but she still had the memory of them. "It whooped on us."
"It even had my powers." Sanne wasn't sure if it was from the activated Tower or if it was a perfect Doppelganger. "We better hope they only have one of those things because if they make one for each of us," Dante finishes her sentence.
"We will lose." Dante was glad he didn't have to fight the Mimic. He doubts he would have lasted long and would have let his friends down. "We must be careful. If they send that thing to Earth it could copy us and get us, well you, in trouble at school. They could try another attempt like they did with Skitz."
"If we're lucky that's all they will do." Barack rubs where he had been hit wondering if he was still feeling the burns or if it was just his imagination. "There are a lot of other things it could do to get us in trouble."
"Don't worry about it. Worrying will only hurt us. Dante and I need to work on our fix for Naia."
"What is your fix?" Mira and the others wait for a response.
"Well we have two ideas. Dante is working on one while I work on the other." Sanne doesn't want to go into detail.
"What are they?" Krieger wanted details.
"Well, my idea is to merge Naia with someone. We need someone close to her which would be her parents. But we can't get them and she is a copy of my mother so my mother would be the next choice but we can't get her either."
"And that leaves Sanne." Dante clenches his hand into a fist. "But I will find another way to fix Naia so we don't have to worry about this."
"Wait, merge, what would that do?" Krieger and the others are confused.
"I am good, my energy is pure. If I merged with Naia my pure energy will clean her corruption. With my powers and hers we would be able to stop Ark. Giving us time to find a way to clean him and to fix us, Naia and I. No attacks will mean unlimited time. No attacks interrupting us. And with Naia's powers with mine we should be able to find a solution that much faster."
"And if you can't be separated?" Krieger has to fight the urge to hug Sanne and keep her safe.
"Um, I don't know. It shouldn't be impossible and if it all goes to hell call our parents. Tell them we defeated Xana and just needed some help tying up the loose ends." Sanne smiles. "How mad could they get at us?"
"Well I hope Dante finds another solution." Krieger goes over to the elevator and gets on. Barack and Mira follow leaving Sanne and Dante to work.
That night Sanne goes back to Kadic Academy and goes to bed. She sleeps
deeply then a reoccurring dream comes to her. A booming voice comes from nowhere. "And as one hundred million angels sing I heard a voice in their midst, and I looked and behold a pale horse, and the name it said on him is death, and hell followed with him." Sanne wakes up. "What the hell does that mean?" She rubs her eyes then looks at the clock. "Three hours of sleep, I need more." She lies back down and tries to fall asleep.
