After Sanne and Skitz had been exposed to the others apparently they told the adults and now Sanne and Skitz were at the Hermitage both blushing brightly. "What exactly have you two been doing? What happened that you would do this?" Samantha stares at one then the other.
"It's not that big a deal Grandma. I mean um, you know, we just, uh," Sanne looks away making sure to keep Samantha from looking in her eyes. "Skitz had just um did something and I was happy for her and um, uh, what's the big deal?"
"Yeah Honey what's the big deal?" Jim shuts up when Samantha stares daggers at him.
"You two are too young to be having sex even if it is you two and what you are doing is wrong, immoral."
"What's wrong and immoral about it?" Skitz looks at Samantha then looks away. "And who said we have sex?"
"How long have you two been doing this?"
"None of your business." Skitz grabs Sanne's hand in hers. "You don't have Krieger or Ark in here and who knows what they do with random girls. You're a, what's the word, something."
"Bigot?" Jim flinches when Samantha stares at him again. "Sorry Samantha but um, really what is wrong? I'd rather this then you know, with a boy. No pregnancy scare or stuff."
"Jim it's immoral! A man and a woman is how it's supposed to be not this. And Skitz it doesn't matter what Ark and Krieger are doing since they don't live in the same room as the person they're with and, and," Samantha steams as she tries to think of another reason.
"See you're just a bigot like Jim said. We love each other right Sanne?" Skitz stares, Samantha stares, waiting for an answer.
Sanne is torn inside. This world's Sanne did love Skitz but she didn't, not really, not like this world's Sanne did. But if she ever did somehow go back to the world she knew she didn't want to mess things up for this world's Sanne. She nods her head slowly.
"I doubt that."
"She's just scared of you." Skitz stands up letting Sanne's hand go and gets in Samantha's face. "She's scared of you and what you will do. She loves me and isn't afraid of me think that says something about you?"
"Sit down Skitz!" Samantha pushes Skitz. Skitz goes to push Samantha back as a black mist moves across the floor. When Skitz pushes Samantha the black mist trips Samantha and she falls hard on the floor.
"Samantha!" Jim rushes over to her. "Samantha, are you ok?"
"Out! Get out!" Samantha starts to get up screaming at Skitz and Sanne. The two run out of the Hermitage barely escaping a flying lamp after Samantha throws it at the two.
"Frak, what are we going to do?" Sanne looks back at the Hermitage able to hear Samantha screaming.
"We could launch a return or something."
"The others would still remember and we'd make Xana stronger." Sanne hears more screaming and wonders if Jim would be ok.
"Well we could um, deny it, something, you know? To Samantha anyways after killing those idiots."
"The only way I would launch a return is if Xana attacked."
"As she wishes…" Xana laughs evilly and uses the Tower he activated to trip Samantha to start another attack.
Samantha growls and clenches her hands into fists. She doesn't see or notice the black mist coming up from behind and attacking her.
Sanne and Skitz talk about what to do. "Well, we could just embarrass ourselves to death." Sanne looks at Skitz for approval of her plan.
"How?"
"Well neither of us have had a boyfriend and um we never kissed one so um maybe, you know, we were practicing?" Skitz laughs.
"My brother would believe it but what about Krieger? Why didn't we just ask him?"
"Well it's embarrassing." Skitz thinks about it. As the two walk and think more they hear a noise. Sanne turns around and sees Samantha. "Grandma please leave us alone!"
"Never!" Samantha sparks with energy and attacks the two girls. Skitz throws herself in front of Sanne.
"Get out of here Sanne!" Skitz punches Samantha in the face.
"Run! Make it more fun!" Xana's symbol appears in Samantha's eyes. Sanne turns and runs as she gets her Jcell out. She looks back and sees Samantha punching Skitz hard.
"Leave her alone, please! Fight Xana!"
"Run Sanne, ru-." A right hook knocks Skitz out. Sanne runs even faster hitting the speed dial on her Jcell.
"What?" Krieger is with Maria at a theater.
"Xana's attacking!"
"Frak, I'll be there." Krieger hangs up. "Um, Maria I have to go." Krieger starts to get up when Maria grabs his arm.
"No, don't leave me again."
"I'm sorry Maria but I have to go. Its important or I wouldn't be leaving you here." Krieger leans down and kisses Maria on the forehead.
"I want to come if its important to you it's important to me." Maria stands up. "I don't care if you don't want me to I worry when you run off."
"I'm sorry Maria but they won't like that."
"Who are they? Tell me please." Maria takes Krieger's hand in hers. "Please babe I don't want you to hide things from me any more." She kisses him lightly on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you to babe but, well, ok." A return will blank her memory just like the last time she came to the Factory. "Follow me and prepare to be amazed." The two run out of the theater.
"Huh?" Ark is in an intimate moment with his current girlfriend. "Frak, can't this wait?"
"No Ark your sister, she, she is hurt really bad."
"I'll be there, damn it." Ark hangs up. "Hey babe uh, um,"
"You don't know my name do you?"
"Uh sure I do honey it's uh, give me a minute." The girl smacks Ark and points towards the door. "I guess I can go now." Ark leaves the girls dorm room and hurries for the sewer entrance in the woods.
Dante comes to Earth to call the others when his phone rings. "I'm assuming you know about the attack."
"Yes! Get everything ready we need to get to Lyoko as fast as possible. Send them as they get there and the vehicles ready!"
"Yes Sanne." Dante hangs up on Sanne.
"Frak. Been trying to be nicer to him I guess I shouldn't have yelled." Sanne continues to run.
Samantha stands over a broken bloody Skitz. Xana's symbol appears in her eyes. "Keh, that was simple, fun." Samantha licks blood off of her hand.
Krieger makes it to the Factory first with Maria and takes the elevator down to the Control Room. "Hey Dante."
"Get to the Scanner Room. I'll send you now." Dante completely ignores Maria knowing a return would be needed anyways.
"Why?" Krieger looks over at Maria for her reaction, a blank stare. "Maria that's Dante and this is…"
"We're in a hurry, go!" Dante turns his back to Krieger and Maria while bringing up the Transfer program as Krieger takes the elevator the rest of the way down. "Sit over there and don't bother me."
"But what is all of this?"
"Sit over there and leave me alone Maria." She listens and leaves Dante alone as he prepares the Transfer Program.
"I'm ready."
"Transfer Krieger, Scanner Krieger, and virtualization." Krieger lands in the Desert Sector.
"So I just wait for the others?"
"Yes."
Ark makes his way down the sewers when he sees a pink haired person up ahead. "Sanne why are you going so slow?" The person turns around and shows the blood staining their shirt. "Whoa, wait, Samantha!"
"That's right." Samantha leaps at Ark knocking him off of his skateboard. She beats on him same as she did to his sister.
Sanne goes through the sewers when she sees Samantha beating Ark. "Leave her, him alone!" It had taken Sanne a little bit of time to get used to Ark being an ally and was almost ready to attack him before she remembered in this world Ark was a friend and not the enemy.
"You want me to leave him alone?" Samantha picks Ark up by his hair and throws him in the sewer. He floats a little before sinking into the waters.
"No!" Sanne jumps into the water and grabs Ark. She struggles to pull him out of the water. She reaches out for the edge and has her hand stomped on by Samantha. "Aaaa!"
"You'll have to do better than that Sanne."
"You can't kill Ark!" Sanne struggles to keep Ark's head above water.
"Yes I can. Of course I could help you but you would have to become my host. What do you say Sanne?"
"Frak you! I won't join you!" Sanne swims to the other side. Samantha leaps across and lands in front of Sanne and Ark.
"Do you want Ark to live? Or do you want him to die?"
"Frak you! I'll save him!" Sanne swims away from Samantha again trying to fight to keep Ark alive.
"How will you little girl?"
"If I get tired and drown you won't be able to get my power!" Sanne swims down the sewer for the end of the passage.
Dante waits for Sanne and Ark. He sends the vehicles and waits with the Transfer programs ready.
Sanne sees the end of the passage and the large metal gate she had been looking for. She reaches it and wraps her free arm around it resting. "I see you think that I will let you rest just because I can't reach you with my foot?" Samantha touches the metal gate and shocks it.
"Aaaa!" Sanne loses her grip on Ark and he sinks into the water. "No, Ark!" Sanne grabs his shirt and pulls. His shirt goes over his head and he sinks even farther. "No, no!" Sanne dives into the water grabbing at Ark's hair. She pulls him back up above the water. "Please Xana don't kill him!"
"Then join me."
"Never!"
"Then watch him die." Samantha laughs evilly. Sanne reaches for the edge and Samantha stomps on her hand again.
"Aaaa!"
Dante gets impatient and calls Sanne's Jcell, she doesn't answer. He calls Ark's Jcell and he doesn't answer. "Xana may have gotten them already."
Samantha laughs evilly as Sanne starts to tire. "Allow me to wake you up." Samantha sparks with energy and shocks Sanne. This shock helps Sanne out as it wakes Ark up.
"Huh?" Ark's head and mouth throb with pain. He can feel the gaps where teeth used to be.
"Ark, swim I'm tired of carrying you around." Sanne lets Ark go and he swims on his own.
"Oh well try this." Samantha reaches down to grab Sanne but Sanne grabs her hand and pulls her into the water. Sanne struggles and climbs out of the sewer water as does Ark.
"Run!" They run for the ladder and start to climb up when Samantha leaps out of the water. She sparks with energy drying herself off.
"Not so fast!" Samantha grabs the ladder and shocks it knocking Sanne and Ark off. "Where were we Ark?"
"Leave him alone!" Sanne ignores her pain and lunges onto Samantha's back. Samantha shakes wildly trying to knock Sanne off of her.
Ark crawls away then gets his Jcell out. "Waterproof, good." He calls Dante. "Dude, return, launch a return." Ark hears Sanne scream when Samantha slams her against the wall.
"The attack is still going."
"We aren't going to make it man if you don't." Ark coughs on his own blood. "Hurry."
"Very well." Dante hangs up on Ark. "Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up reversing time.
Sanne and Skitz find themselves going towards the Hermitage. "Did they do it?" Sanne shrugs her shoulders.
"I was fighting Xana. Maybe Dante made it."
"Well, if we haven't talked to Samantha yet then we can lie."
"What do we say though Skitz?" Skitz whispers her plan in Sanne's ear. "Are you sure that will work?"
"I'm sure. We just," Sanne's phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Get to the Factory. Ark told me to launch a return so I did before the attack had been stopped."
"So we have a second chance? Alright we'll be there." Sanne and Dante hang up. "We have to go to the Factory. They launched a return before they stopped the attack."
"Ok." The two run to the Hermitage and take the sewer entrance there to the Factory.
"Uh huh, be right there." Krieger hangs up then calls Maria. "I'm sorry something happened and I can't make it."
"But I, fine." Maria hangs up on Krieger in annoyance.
"I'm sorry." Krieger sighs then heads for the Factory.
Ark is with the girl again when his phone rings. "Yeah, my sister? I'll be right there." Ark hangs up. "Um babe my sister was hurt I need to go."
"But Ark we just got here, I was hoping for some fun." She smiles seductively at Ark.
"Yeah um, I guess it doesn't matter I don't remember your name does it?" She smacks Ark then points at the door.
"Out!"
"No problem." Ark runs out of the room and heads for the Factory.
Xana sends a ghost out but this time doesn't posses Samantha. He decides he would do something else to surprise the Lyoko Warriors.
The girl Ark had been with sees the black mist and before she can scream is attacked. A few seconds later her eyes open and Xana's symbol appears in them. "Keh keh keh." She turns into a black mist and disappears from her room.
Sanne and Skitz are headed for the Factory and make it to the end. As they climb out Sanne sees the girl. "Skitz stay down." Sanne watches the girl wondering what she was doing. The girl stands as if she were waiting for someone. "I think Xana possessed someone else."
"We should wait for the others." Skitz and Sanne go down into the sewers waiting for the others.
Ark sees the two girls. "You two together again imagine that." Ark rolls his eyes.
"Its not, well," Sanne looks at Skitz. She nods. "Look this is embarrassing but neither of us have had a boyfriend. So we were um, wondering what it would be um, like to kiss someone and uh well," Skitz takes over.
"We you know kissed each other. We aren't like dykes or anything. And I should kick you where you deserve it for thinking it was like that." Ark looks away. "That's what I thought." Skitz looks at Sanne and smiles, Ark bought it. "We're waiting for Krieger."
"Why?"
"Xana sent some possessed person to the bridge. If we gang tackle her we should be able to get through."
"She cute?"
"She looks like Cindy, from our grade."
"Cindy! That's her name." The two girls stare at Ark. "Um, I was with her earlier and couldn't remember her name."
"You're horrible." Ark shrugs his shoulders.
"What about Mira?"
"Who? Oh, she's like four girls ago, maybe five, not sure who you're talking about." Sanne shakes her head wondering what was different about this Ark. He was more like his father then in the world that she knew.
As they wait Dante gets annoyed. "They should have been here by now." Dante calls Sanne.
Sanne's ringing phone alerts the possessed girl that at least one person is waiting in the sewers. Before Sanne can answer it the sewer cover is ripped off and the possessed girl leaps down.
"Cindy, hey um, yeah I do know your name." Ark gets between Cindy and the girls. "Can we talk about it?"
"Die Ark!" Cindy attacks Ark.
Krieger comes around the corner and sees Ark being attacked by a possessed girl. "Ark!" Krieger leaps off of his skateboard and tackles the possessed girl. She is knocked off of Ark and they roll on the floor fighting each other.
"We better get to the Factory." Skitz gets on the ladder and climbs up. Ark follows her but Sanne doesn't.
"We better help him!" Sanne does a flying kick hitting Cindy hard in the back knocking her into the sewer water. "Come on Krieger!" Sanne grabs his hand and helps him up. They hurry up the ladder as Cindy recovers.
Dante hears the elevator run as it goes directly to the Scanner Room. "What is going on and what took you so long?"
"Just send us before she gets down here!" Sanne, Skitz, and Krieger get in the Scanners.
"Transfer Sanne, Transfer Skitz, Transfer Krieger, Scanner Sanne, Scanner Skitz, Scanner Krieger, and virtualization." They land in the Forest Sector. "Transfer Ark, Scanner Ark, and virtualization." Ark lands next to the others as the vehicles appear. "I'll be right there." Dante sets up the auto transfer but before he can get to the ladder Cindy shifts through the ceiling and attacks him.
"Dante?" Sanne waits but no response. "Dante are you there!?" She hears a screaming noise. "Frak Xana is attacking him."
"I'll go back." Krieger waits to be hit.
"No we need to deactivate the Tower."
"Which is where?" Sanne shrugs her shoulders then looks at the pulsations on the ground.
"Um, I think west, maybe south west." Sanne goes over to the Overboard and gets on. "Coming Skitz?"
"Yep." Skitz runs over and gets on behind Sanne. Sanne had learned how to control the Overboard better and takes off for the activated Tower.
"Wait for us!" Ark jumps on the Overwing as Krieger gets on the Overbike. They take off after the two girls.
Dante rolls on the floor wrestling with Cindy. "Xana you won't win!"
"I don't need to win this fight I just need to get Sanne as my host!" Cindy punches Dante hard.
"You won't get her." Dante spits blood in Cindy's face. "She'll kick your ass again like always."
"Not this time. I'll make a deal with her. This girl's life or hers." Cindy punches Dante again knocking him out.
Sanne looks around for the activated Tower as they fly. "Skitz fly lower I want to see if the pulsations change." Sanne was amazed by how the Forest Sector looked. She had gotten to the changes after the virus. She had gotten used to the extra trees and the vines. Now it was more open.
"This low enough?" Skitz dodges rocks, trees, and other objects.
"Yeah, we need to go south now." Skitz turns at the next corner and the boys follow.
Cindy collapses to the floor of the Control Room as the Ghost leaves her. It goes into the control panel of the Super Computer.
"Aaaa!" The Overboard, Overwing, and Overbike disappear under the Lyoko Warriors.
"What was that?" Krieger gets back up. "Dante are you there?"
"It wasn't Dante." Sanne can sense the evil. "Xana's coming." Sanne closes her eyes and focuses on her inner powers. "A little farther south of here he's waiting for us at the activated Tower." Sanne runs focusing on her inner powers. She wants to be ready. If she could attack and rip the energy orbs out of Xana she would kill him and make this world perfect. Well, almost perfect. If she was in this world for good she wanted to be with the person she loved not the one this world's Sanne loved. No, her, this world's Sanne was… Gone? She was going to make this world hers and this world would be Xana free.
Xana sees Sanne first, focuses on her. Sanne was the only one on Lyoko that could deactivate the Tower. If he got her as his host he could kill Dante before anything else could be done. And he would get Sanne as his host this time. "Hello Sanne how are you today?"
"Shut up Xana and get ready to die."
"What was that?"
"I said get ready to die." Sanne sparks with energy. "I'll make this world perfect by killing you once and for all!" Sanne's wings explode from her back and she takes off into the air.
"Be careful Sanne. You wouldn't want Cindy to die would you?" The black mist appears and forms into a portal showing Cindy on the floor. "I will crush her heart if you do not submit to me."
"Go ahead Xana. One little girl lost will be nothing compared to stopping you."Sanne dives at Xana sparking with more energy.
"I see." Xana sparks with energy and prepares to fight. He transfers the power of the activated Tower into himself. "Prepare to lose Sanne."
"Prepare to die Xana!" Sanne sends a bolt of energy at Xana who blocks it with an energy shield.
Dante wakes up and sees Cindy passed out on the floor. "He must have left her. Did we deactivate the Tower?" Dante goes over to the control panel and looks at the screen. "What are you doing Sanne?" Dante gets the headphones on. "Sanne what are you doing? Get in the Tower!"
"I'm killing Xana! Activate a Tower and give me the power!" Sanne dodges an attack from Xana then slashes at him with an energy sword.
"Sanne you can't do it he'll take you as his host!"
"No he won't! I'm going to rip the energy orbs out of him and destroy them myself!" Sanne slashes Xana across the chest exposing the energy orbs. She goes to reach for one with her other hand but Xana backs away fast.
"I think not Sanne." Xana sends a massive energy bolt at Sanne. She raises the energy sword and splits the energy bolt. It goes on behind her and one hits Ark, the other Krieger sending them to Earth.
"Try again Xana." Skitz cheers Sanne on.
"I will." Xana sparks with energy and creates an energy orb. He adds more and more energy to it.
"Don't think I'll give you the chance." Sanne flies at Xana with her energy sword ready. Xana throws the energy orb at her but Sanne dodges it. It slams into the ground exploding with massive force.
"Aaaa!" Skitz is knocked off of the edge of the pathway and falls towards the Digital Sea.
"Skitz!" Sanne fires an energy beam at Skitz destroying her. But this distraction is just what Xana wanted. He attacks Sanne from behind destroying her wings then wrapping his arms around her body in a bear hug.
"Sanne, my host." Xana bites Sanne on the neck.
"Aaaa!" Sanne struggles but can feel Xana entering her.
"Sanne, no, we can't lose her." Dante tries to bring Sanne back but the program bugs up. "We need to destroy her somehow before he gets her as his host." Dante brings up a program he had been hoping for Sanne to use on him. Once Xana was defeated he wanted to be deleted and the Super Computer destroyed. But now his deletion program would stop Xana from taking Sanne. "No, wait for it." Dante has the program ready but stops with the last button. "Take her Xana so I can kill you."
No… Sanne can feel herself weaken. Xana was slowly entering her destroying her purity and taking over. She feels the evil, the power, the corruption. Soon Xana would have her and she would…
"Sanne!" Her eyes snap open and Mira is standing over her. "Sanne can you hear me? Dante I think it worked."
"Huh, what?" Sanne sits up. "I can't see, what's going on?" She was in the Scanner Room. "What's going on?" Mira looks down at her.
"Dante activated a Tower and sent you a Ghost. We tried a return and the Scanners but you wouldn't wake up. Dante got the idea to use a Ghost to try and wake you up."
"But, Xana, he was about to take me." Sanne waves a hand in front of her face. "And why can't I see?"
"Xana? Xana's been dead thanks to you Sanne." Mira hugs Sanne. "I can't wait to tell the others."
"Where are they?" Sanne blinks. "And why can't I see!?"
"Well it was my night to watch you for when your body did uh, its thing. Don't worry Krieger and Barack never did that." Mira ignores Sanne's other question.
"But, what time, day, is it and why can't I see?!"
"Probably around two and it's the day after. We did a couple returns trying to wake you up and to keep people from getting suspicious."
"But then, that, I'm back home." Sanne closes her eyes tight then opens them. "And why can't I see?"
"Um, well, Naia did something." Mira wanted to avoid it but knew she wouldn't be able to for long. "Um, I'll help you to the elevator." Mira helps Sanne up and over to the elevator. They take it up to the Control Room.
"Sanne are you ok?" Dante gets up and goes over to her.
"Why can't I see?" Sanne blinks a bunch of times hoping one time she'd be able to see. "What's wrong with my eyes?"
"Naia destroyed them."
"Destroyed them? My eyes?"
"Well, kind of. When you, when we found you they were gone. We used the Scanners to heal you but she did something inside of you that the Scanners didn't or couldn't heal."
"I can't, I can't be blind." Sanne starts to cry. "I can't be blind." She sits down and cries harder.
"I was hoping the Scanners would heal it but if you can't see I don't know what to do Sanne."
"I can't be blind. I can't be blind here." Sanne hugs her knees and cries more.
A/N Ah yes, Sanne is blind! What did Naia do to cause this? What could she have done to Sanne to keep Sanne blind even after the Scanners healed her and brought her eyes back? I know…
