Sanne is in her room looking for what ever it was that smelled bad. "Zen it's coming from your side of the room."
"I don't smell anything."
"How can't you smell that?" Sanne makes a face. "It's horrible. I swear it was you but it can't be you."
"It could be. I haven't showered for a few days."
"What?!"
"I don't like showering. All those stupid soaps and shampoos and crap. It all makes you smell like a wimp."
"Oh Gods Zen take a frakking shower! Now!" Sanne points at the door. "Don't make me make you."
"Oh fine." Zen gets off the bed and goes to the door.
"Wait Zen you need to get some clean clothes first. Geesh what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with everyone else? Smelling like fruit or flowers or a mountain breeze. What the frak is a mountain breeze and what does it smell like?" Zen grabs some clean clothes and leaves the room.
"What the frak is wrong with her? That is just so frakking disgusting." Sanne gets on her bed not believing anyone in the modern world would go days without a shower.
Dante is in the Control Room lying on his cot. After experiencing utter defeat to Naia and Ark his confidence was broken. His hope was shattered. He knew Sanne's plan for defeating the two and he didn't like it. It was risky, too risky. He had to find another solution or he might lose Naia and Sanne.
Naia and Ark are in Sector 5 wondering what to do. They had tried to take Dante but had failed. "What shall we do Naia? Kill him?"
"If we do and not the others they will call the parents. We could not handle the full force of our former friends and their parents."
"Then what shall we do Naia?"
"Play with them. Annoy them. Hurt them." Naia smiles evilly as she comes up with her plan.
The next morning Sanne is dragging Zen to the shower room. "You need to shower every day Zen its nasty if you don't."
"It is not. I've never been sick unlike all you clean freaks."
"And what is up with the no shoes? I saw you at lunch yesterday with no shoes on."
"I don't like shoes they suck. My feet like to be free."
"Well it's unsanitary. What are you five or eleven?"
"Gods you're as bad as my mother." Zen is dragged into the shower room by Sanne.
After showering and breakfast Sanne is sitting in class when she hears a beeping noise. "Not now," She gets her Jpocket out and sees the Super Scan found an activated Tower. She taps her foot against Krieger's and shows the Jpocket. He nods then raises his hand.
"Yes?"
"I feel sick can I go to the infirmary?"
"If you're sick, but I will check and you better go to the infirmary." Sanne raises her hand.
"Um, I'll make sure he gets there."
"You better be right back, wait not," The teacher points at Barack. "You make sure he gets there."
"Ok." Barack and Krieger leave the class room. Sanne taps her foot on the floor wondering how to get out.
"Well frak it I need to get out." Sanne ducks her head under the desk and shoves her pen down her throat and sure enough…
"Ew!" Several students pull away from Sanne's desk as she throws up. Sanne sits up trying not to smile.
"Sir I'm uh, sick may I go to the Infirmary?"
"Yes! Go now!"
"Um, can Mira come with me in case I like, pass out. I'm really dizzy and feel light headed."
"Yes but I will make sure you went to the Infirmary!" Sanne and Mira leave the classroom.
As Barack and Krieger are running through the woods the to sewer entrance Barack brings up something he had been worrying about for awhile. "Krieger what do you think Mira would do if I asked her out?"
"What? Wait Mira?"
"Well, yeah. Since you know what happened we've been hanging out a lot and I've been trying to ask her out but something always interrupts us. It's like Ark and Naia are watching me waiting for me to ask her out then strike before I can." Barack laughs a little.
"I wouldn't laugh that could be what it is. Ark is probably watching her and you know why. I don't think you should ask her out. Ark might snap and do more then attack you."
"Yeah but, you know, I like her and stuff."
"Your stuff might get you killed."
"They're trying to kill us anyways."
"Good point. Well, ask her out if you feel like it." Krieger and Barack continue to run.
Dante is sleeping on his cot after working nearly seventeen hours straight. He had to find a way to stop Naia and Ark besides Sanne's solution. If he didn't both women that he loved could be gone forever.
As Krieger and Barack get to the sewer entrance and as Krieger pulls the lid off a weird black circle appears under him and he falls through the hole. "Aaaa!" Krieger lands on the roof of a building several kilometers away. "What the heck was that?" He looks around seeing the city.
"Have fun getting down and explaining how you got here." Krieger turns around and sees Ark.
"Ark!" Krieger gets into a fighting stance.
"Oh do back down Krieger you can't win." Ark turns into a black mist and disappears from the roof.
"Well this sucks." Krieger sits down and gets his Jcell out calling Sanne. "Hey, Ark and Naia created like a wormhole or something and dropped me on a building. I don't know how to get down so like I won't be able to help."
"Ok be careful they might try something else."
"I'll do what I can which isn't much."
"Ok, love you."
"Love you to." They hang up.
Sanne and Mira get to the sewer entrance in the woods and go down the ladder. "Barack's blades are gone he must have made it." Sanne gets on her skateboard as Mira gets on hers.
"Unless he's ended up like Krieger." The two girls take off down the sewer passage for the Factory.
As Barack gets close to the end of the sewer passage a portal appears in front of him. Before he can stop on his roller blades he goes through it. "Ow!" The portal opened right in front of Mira and Sanne. Barack crashes into Mira knocking her to the ground.
"Ow." Mira grabs at her ankle. "What the frak happened?" She sees Barack. "How did you get here?!"
"A wormhole portal thing opened up in front of me and before I could stop I went through and ran into you." Barack stands up but Mira doesn't. "Are you ok Mira?" She shakes her head.
"My ankle, I think I twisted it or something."
"We'll have to help you." Barack takes his roller blades off and helps Mira off the ground. Sanne gets on the other side and the two supports Mira as they go down the sewer passage.
Krieger sits on the edge of the buildings roof and stares out over the city. "Really is a nice view. Should thank them when I get the chance." Krieger looks down nearly thirty five stories. "I wonder how long it would take to get down by jumping." Krieger spits and watches it as long as he can. "Ouch that would hurt." He continues keeping himself amused as he waits for the attack to be over.
Mira, Barack, and Sanne are getting close to the end of the sewer passage when a portal opens on the floor and Barack falls into it. He reaches out and grabs Mira by the arm and unable to use her injured ankle for support she falls with Barack. Sanne is able to pull away from Mira before she to is taken into the portal. "No!" She sees the portal close before she can do anything. "Oh Gods I hope they are ok." Sanne continues towards the Factory.
Barack and Mira fall into a dark enclosed space. "Ow!" Mira grabs at her ankle after landing on it.
"Frak I'm sorry Mira."
"Don't be sorry. Ark is doing this." As if on cue a black mist appears and forms into Ark.
"Ah yes Barack the man I wanted to see." He gets close and whispers into Barack's ear. "I know you've been trying to make a move on my woman. But I've stopped that every time. Now I think I'll give you the chance but the catch is you will soon die." Ark pulls away from Barack and talks louder. "You are in an old ship crusher. Amazing how big they made this one. But it was easier to put those old oil tankers in here and crush them down then to dismantle them piece by piece. Now this old machine will crush one, or two, more things." Ark turns into a black mist and disappears as the ship crusher is started.
"No, no!" Barack yells over the sound of the ship crusher.
"Oh Gods what do we do!?" Mira starts to panic. "Oh Gods what do we do Barack!?"
"Don't do that." Barack goes over and hugs Mira. "Don't panic. "We're getting out of here somehow."
"How? We're going to be crushed we're going to die!"
"We are not. Just stay here I'm going to try and find a way out." Barack gets up and runs as far as he can into the darkness looking for a way out.
Sanne makes it to the Factory and takes the elevator down to the Control Room to find Dante sleeping like a baby. "Dante!" She shakes him and wakes him up. "They're attacking!"
"Huh? Oh an attack. Are the others in the Scanner Room already?"
"No they got them. I don't know where Barack and Mira are and Krieger is on a building some where in the city."
"Got them? And how did Krieger get on a building?"
"They made these like wormholes to get them."
"Wormholes? That's advanced technology where would they get something like that?" Sanne's eyes get wide as she thinks of something.
"My dad. Well, the aliens, the ones that attacked and we made a deal with Naia and Ark to stop? He told me he figured out how they traveled here. They didn't have faster then light travel since that is impossible. He didn't explain it very well to me but I guess in the end he meant wormholes."
"So they stole your father's technology?"
"No the aliens technology that my father got." Sanne sighs. "We have to hurry before the two get us with the portals."
"Ok Sanne I'll send us with an auto transfer." Dante starts the program then hurries over to the elevator and takes it down with Sanne. They get off and hurry to the Scanners getting in them just in time.
Barack runs back to Mira inside of the ship crusher. "Mira I don't know how to get out of here."
"Oh Gods we're going to die. I don't want to die Barack." Mira starts to shake as she curls into a ball.
"I don't want to die either." Barack hugs her. "Mira there's something I want to ask you."
"What?" Mira starts to cry as her death gets ever closer.
"Um well we've been um hanging out a lot and I uh was wondering if you might want to hang out more. You know like as um you know."
"Are you trying to ask me out?"
"Uh well yeah. We've been spending lots of time together and I just thought," Mira smacks Barack.
"You bastard! You wait until we're going to die to ask me out?! Frak you even with what Ark has done I still like him, still love him. He was messed up over losing his sister and it wasn't like he was joining Xana! I can't believe you think I would go out with you especially after you wait until we're going to die to do it! You frakking bastard!"
"I didn't until now! I tried asking you before but always got interrupted! I'm sorry I'm finally not interrupted while we're here but I wasn't waiting for something like this! You don't think I still don't like or love Skitz? I do but she won't have anything to do with me! And Ark won't have anything to do with you! He's with Naia and he's evil!"
"He isn't evil just corrupted! If Sanne hadn't tried to destroy the last orb he wouldn't be like this!"
"I'm sorry Mira please! I didn't mean, I know it wasn't his choice." Barack pulls away from Mira as the walls of the ship crusher get closer and closer.
Dante and Sanne in the Mountain Sector fly through looking out for monsters. Sanne is using the rocket boots as Dante uses the Overbike. "We should be near the activated Tower."
"Hard to tell where the pulsations are coming from since you only see a small part of them." Dante looks down at the floating platforms. "It should be a little east of us." He looks up just in time to see a portal open. He pulls up on the Overbike but isn't fast enough.
"Dante!" Sanne sees another portal open and Ark comes flying out of it with spear ready. He tries to impale Sanne on it but she dodges it. "Hello Ark. Nice trick." Sanne focuses on her energy.
"Shut up Sanne." Ark attacks her again. She dodges his attack then fires an energy beam at him. He backs away from her.
Dante comes out of the portal in the Rain Forest Sector. He clotheslines himself on a vine and falls to the walkway below. As he stands up he sees the Overbike crash into a branch and explode. "I need to find the Way Tower." A portal opens up behind him.
"Hello Dante." Dante turns around and sees Naia. "You're alone here with me while my partner takes care of that tramp."
"Leave Sanne alone!" Dante whips out his wand and points it at Naia. "Why do you do this Naia?"
"Why not?"
"That's not an answer! Where's the woman I loved? Where's the woman who saw the Dandelions I gave her as flowers and love?"
"Shut up! You left her for dead and went with that whore!" Naia sparks with energy. "You never cared about me!"
"I did to, I still do! I, I don't love you I love Naia!" Dante fires an energy orb at Naia but she creates an energy shield and blocks it.
"I am Naia! I am Naia without the restraints of humanity!"
"I never loved that Naia I don't love this one!" Dante fires a couple more energy orbs at Naia but her energy shield holds up. "I loved the Naia who loved me and would never hurt me." Dante lowers his wand.
"Have I hurt you? Have I even attempted to attack you? No I merely appeared and you attacked me."
"Because you're not Naia. You're evil something she never was."
"I am Naia. A girl who was nearly killed by Xana. A girl who was forgotten by the man I loved."
"I never forgot you Naia, that Naia." Dante drops his wand. "Send me back to Earth. I don't want my memories of the real Naia tainted by this corrupted version of her."
"I won't give you the satisfaction. What I will give you is a chance to save Barack and Mira."
"Save them?"
"We put them in a ship crusher. Soon they will be dead unless you deactivate the Tower. Of course first you need to find the Way Tower." Naia turns into a black mist and disappears back to Sector 5.
"I won't let you kill them!" Dante picks his wand back up then runs through the Rain Forest Sector looking for the Way Tower.
Sanne dodges Ark's attack. She fires an energy beam at him and misses. The two continue to battle. Sanne focuses on her energy but instead of using her wings she relies on the rocket boots and sends the energy to her eyes so she can see Ark's movements. Otherwise she would have lost.
"Come on Sanne do try better then merely dodging my attacks. Barack and Mira are going to die pretty soon."
"I won't let you kill them!"
Mira is lying on the floor of the ship crusher crying and shaking. Barack just quietly waits for his death.
Dante runs around a corner and sees the Way Tower. He runs to it and takes it to the Mountain Sector.
Barack and Mira see the walls coming closer and closer. "Mira I'm so sorry. I tried to ask you earlier but I never got it out. Now it's too late." Barack wipes tears from his eyes.
Sanne moves some of her energy to her arms and hands and grabs Ark's spear. "You lose Ark." She fires an energy beam straight into his face blinding him. She rips his spear out of his arms then throws it on the ground. She flies away going for the activated Tower. A black mist appears in front of the Tower. "Naia get out of my way!" Naia sparks with energy.
"No."
"If you don't Mira and Barack will die! What have they ever done to you!?" Sanne fires an energy beam at Naia but misses.
"And it will be your fault if they do you tramp." Naia sparks with more energy and attacks Sanne.
Barack covers his ears when there is a loud grinding noise. When it stops he looks and sees the walls of the ship crusher have stopped. "Mira, Mira!" He shakes her leg and points to the wall nearest them.
"But, but, it stopped?" She wipes her nose on her sleeve.
"I, the walls weren't meant to come all the way. I mean, a ship is huge. Think about it why waste the money and material to make the, arms? I don't know what to call them but think about it. The crusher would only have to go so far so like why make the arms long enough for the crusher walls to touch?" Barack starts to cry in relief as Mira hugs him also crying.
"I'm sorry I slapped you. I'm sorry."
"No I'm the one who is sorry."
Sanne fights with Naia when Ark attacks her from behind. "Didn't forget about me did you?" Ark gets her in a choke hold.
"Let me go you're not choking me we don't even breathe on Lyoko." Sanne struggles but can't break Ark's hold.
"Like it matters tramp?" Naia floats close to Sanne before grabbing her chin forcing her to look her in the eyes. "Barack and Mira are probably dead by now. Once we send you back to Earth we will kill Krieger. Just a little nudge off the roof and a suicide note should do."
"I'm sorry!" Dante throws Ark's spear and it goes through Ark, Sanne, and Naia. He runs for the activated Tower.
"No!" Naia goes to pull the spear out of her stomach when Sanne grabs it sparking with energy.
"Glad I learned how to control my energy." Sanne struggles to keep the energy where it was knowing that if she didn't she'd be sent back to Earth.
"Shut up Sanne." Ark sparks with energy and attacks Sanne.
Dante runs into the activated Tower and goes up to the second platform. He presses his hand on the control panel and soon the screens fall around him. "The Tower is deactivated. I just hope I was in time." Dante launches a return to the past and the white bubble comes up.
Dante, Krieger, and Sanne rush to Barack's room. He isn't there. They hurry down to the girls' dormitory floor and hurry to Mira's room to find… "Hey!" Mira leaps off of the bed nearly hurting Barack.
"Oh um, so you two are uh, ok?" Sanne looks away a little embarrassed. "I mean um, well, we stopped the attack."
"Yeah, thanks." Barack sits up on his bed. "Um, don't worry though. Shouldn't have anyways. I mean I didn't think about it until it happened."
"What?"
"We were in a ship crusher. I, we thought we were going to die but the arms weren't long enough." Barack laughs nervously.
"Well still a good thing you stopped it." Krieger puts a hand on Sanne's shoulder. "Had a great view of the city but you're the only thing I want to see." Sanne turns around smiling.
"Sweet talker. You're so sweet you give me diabetes."
"You two are so sappy you're like um, what makes sap?" Everyone laughs at Dante's comment.
Naia and Ark are sitting in Sector 5. "So what do you think Ark? It might be harder to convert one of them to us now."
"It will be. But do we need one now?"
"I'd like another partner. I bet Barack would be a great partner. Distance and close combat."
"Well I'd still rather have Krieger or Dante. Dante's power and Krieger's skill. Of course that skill will be nothing once we complete the Mimic."
"Yes," Naia looks over at an energy orb floating in the air. It had watched the battle earlier and the ones before learning about its opponents.
A/N Well then, my Muse inspired me again! Gave me some great ideas for a new Series. Still CX world but something so completely different... I can't wait but will be so long before I even get to when it happens! Happens I think maybe after 130, and only have 126 written, plus have like three more CXOW to write before I get back to CX127, I have too much to write but here!
