Two days after being sent back in time the group is crowded in the Control Room. Sanne goes to the elevator being led by Krieger. "If this doesn't work Sanne I don't know what will happen to you." Dante is nervous. They had just done enough work to give the Super Computer enough power to send one person to Lyoko.
"If it doesn't work we'll save her. We need her." Naia is getting aggravated. She wanted to be done with this time but she was stuck just as much as the others. "So don't worry about it."
"I will." Dante sees Sanne get in the Middle Scanner. "Transfer Sanne, Scanner Sanne, and virtualization." She lands on Lyoko in the Rain Forest Sector outside of the Way Tower. She rushes in and goes up to the second platform.
"I made it." Sanne smiles. On Earth she was almost useless. But on Lyoko she could see and do work. "What do you want to do first Dante?"
"We need the return program so we need to fix that first."
"Wait." Ark sparks with energy. "If we could activate a Tower we could do more work. Fix that first."
"We don't know what it is that allows you to do that Ark. Why don't you go out and get more food?" The group had been relying on Ark and Naia using what little power they had left to kill animals and cook them.
"Don't tell me what to do Dante!" Ark sparks with energy and it forms around his hands. Naia reaches out and puts a hand on Ark's shoulder.
"Calm down. We need them, for now." Naia and Ark break apart and turn into black mists leaving the Control Room.
"You realize if we fix everything they'll probably kill us." Mira bites her lower lip in concern. "Can't we trick them and leave them behind?"
"No." Dante turns to her. "We can't leave them behind. It, if they lived with their powers they'd still have to live through millions of years. By the time we get to our time they may have changed the time line so much none of us might exist anymore. Hell they might take themselves out of existence. I don't know if we might kill ourselves because we killed a dinosaur that would have stepped on something that ate a mouse that became something else."
"If we did we'd like disappear wouldn't we? Then we never would have come back in time to do that and they'd live and…" Barack grabs his head. "I just gave myself a headache."
"Hey," Sanne's face appears on the screen. "Don't worry about it. I think, I'm pretty sure, that our time line is safe. Whatever we do here will create another time line that will be different from ours."
"How can you be sure?"
"I, I have an idea." Sanne thinks of the other world. A world where the difference was she had been in a plane accident. That changed everything. "So don't worry about it. If we left them behind I don't know what would happen but we can't do it. This is a group effort." Sanne disappears as she and Dante get to work on the return program.
Ark and Naia appear in Sector 5 near a silver orb. "Is it damaged?" Naia leans down near it scanning it.
"I checked it yesterday and it responded. Our mimic is still intact. It is still learning and watching even now."
"Good. I'd hate to have wasted months on our pet." Naia and Ark turn into black mists and go out into the jungles of the past.
Barack and Mira get bored. "Um, can we go outside?" Dante thinks about it then nods.
"Just don't go to far away. The Factory is the safest place but even the dinosaurs have been getting in with Naia's protection."
"We'll be careful." Barack and Mira take the elevator up to the Factory floor and go outside. It was almost night now and as the sun set the two noticed something in the sky.
"Barack what is that?" Mira points at something near the moon. Barack looks and can't tell.
"I uh, another moon?"
"But it can't be. We only have one." Mira wishes she had binoculars or something to get a better look.
"Well maybe however million years ago we are there were two." Barack can't believe no one else noticed this. Of course no one else had gone out at night until now. "I wonder what happened to it."
"Maybe it was so small it um like lost its pull and was flung out into outer space." Mira squint her eyes trying to see it better.
"How big do you think it is?"
"I don't know. I think its closer then the moon so maybe a few kilometers across?" Barack shrugs his shoulders. "Well it is pretty. All red and stuff and it doesn't like have any craters on it."
"I know. Like it had never been touched." Barack grasps Mira's hand in his. "Touched, something we haven't done in awhile." Barack kisses Mira lightly on the lips romantically.
"We've been so busy with the, trip, I never thought about it." Mira blushes. "We are alone now though." Mira kisses Barack a little harder. "I love you Barack." She hugs him.
"I love you too Mira." Barack hugs her back feeling her warmth under the two moons.
"Bleh." Ark makes a face. "I could interrupt them couldn't I Naia?" She shakes her head. "Why not?"
"We barely have enough energy as it is. We can't be wasting it on petty things like that Ark."
"Fine." Ark crosses his arms and growls as he continues watching Barack and Mira.
The next day Sanne is on Earth eating with Krieger. "What do you think this was?" She holds up a piece of meat.
"No idea but I'd call it delicious." Krieger takes a bite. "How long do you think it will take to fix this?"
"No idea Krieger. It could take weeks or months. I, I don't want to say it but it could take years." Krieger's face gets pale. "But it probably won't. We'll fix the Super Computer more today and stuff."
"You better." Krieger looks and sees Naia.
"Spying on us?"
"Well I got quite the show from Barack and Mira last night I was hoping maybe for another performance." Naia smiles wickedly and looks at Sanne. "Still helpless huh Tramp?"
"I could work faster if I wasn't blind Naia."
"I bet you could. But you know what? I'm immortal aren't I? I could theoretically live for the millions of years it would take to get back to our time but that sounds very boring."
"Nothing to do right?" Ark appears with some water. "No nightclubs or underground techno raves or sentient species to play with." Ark laughs evilly. "But you're here to play with."
"Not now Ark. We can't be wasting our energy on them." Naia and Ark turn into black mists.
"What if they decide to just wait?" Krieger feels his stomach flip flop wishing he hadn't eaten so much.
"They can't."
"Why not?"
"They're too weak. They can barely keep themselves on Earth. I doubt they could handle the strain for millions of years."
"I hope so." Krieger lies down as his stomach feels strange.
Three days later Sanne is on Lyoko celebrating a minor victory. "We did it Dante!" Her face appears on the screen.
"What is it that you did?" Naia looks over Dante's shoulder.
"We fixed the return program! I'm sure that will be the key to getting home." Sanne smiles at Dante and even at Naia. "But I still don't know how you got us this far back in time."
"Time warp. I knew the return program couldn't do it. So we devised a plan to create a time warp to send you and the others back in time. But Ark failed to do his part and it affected more than just you."
"Maybe if we did a return and you used another time warp," Naia cuts Sanne off before she can get the rest of her plan out.
"Not possible without us being able to activate a Tower. Even then we would need more power for the Super Computer. Just because we have the program fixed doesn't mean we have the power to launch a return to the past Sanne. We need to make the Super Computer stronger."
"Yeah and I have no frakking idea how to do that. We're frakked in that department unless you find some plutonium or uranium. Of course that's impossible to find."
"Why can't we?"
"Both metals are short lived. I don't think any even exists yet. It might though I don't know. I might be smart with some things but I have no idea about plutonium or uranium. I mean don't they need to be made in a lab?" Naia and Dante have no clue and just stare blankly. "Like I said we're frakked."
"There has to be another energy source!"
"I don't know of one. I mean it would take a lot of energy to heal the damage you did."
"Ark did."
"Ark did. Solar energy would take hundreds of years and we don't have the panels or materials to make it. The river probably won't exist until after the ice age so hydro power is out."
"What about thermo nuclear?"
"How would you get the power from the sun to here and convert it Naia?" She shrugs her shoulders.
"We have to find a way to do this." Dante thinks with the other two as Ark flies around outside.
"There has to be something we can do! I'm tired of sitting around doing nothing!" He sees animals, trees, and finally the prehistoric ocean. "As beautiful as it is it doesn't help me. But seafood does sound like a good change." He uses his powers to fish for the day. Of course what he catches is a little bigger and stranger then just regular fish.
That night Ark is flying back with his catch when he notices something in the sky. It was a bright dot that was getting bigger and bigger. "What could that be?" He drops his catch and flies off into the sky. When he gets close to the atmosphere he stops and sends power to his eyes. He uses the power to give himself super vision. He soon wishes he hadn't. "Frak." He turns into a black mist forgetting his catch and hurries to the Factory to warn the others.
Sanne is sleeping on the floor with Krieger while Barack and Mira cuddle. Dante is on his cot watching the two couple trying to fight back the feelings of depression. He had that once. Someone to be with. Now one was with Krieger and the other was corrupted. He curls up a little and hugs his knees fighting back tears when suddenly Ark appears.
"Wake the frak up we're so frakking frakked we don't even know how frakked we are!" Everyone wakes up and Naia appears on Earth.
"What?"
"Asteroid!" Ark holds his hands out. "A huge frakking asteroid! Headed right for us!"
"No, it can't be. You guys sent us back like 65 million years ago? We're going to die!" Sanne grabs Krieger in her arms. "We're going to die 65 million years before we were born!"
"You might we won't." Naia smiles evilly trying to hide her fear. If the others died she and Ark would have to wait a long time.
"Do you think you'll live? If the Asteroid hits it will obliterate everything. The Super Computer will be destroyed. Will you live then?" Dante closes his eyes trying to think of what he knew. "The asteroid wiped out over 90 of all life on Earth. It was equal to every nuclear weapon ever made and then some. You're going to die with the rest of us."
"Nuclear!" Sanne's shout makes everyone jump.
"What?!" Naia sparks with a little energy as she starts to worry.
"Nuclear. The impact will create energy! With that we could maybe somehow convert it to the Super Computer, launch a return, and create a time warp too send ourselves back home!"
"Do you believe that to be possible? How could we convert it? We don't have the time or energy!" Ark sparks with energy as he too starts to worry.
"It is! If you could activate a Tower."
"We can't we don't have the power."
"But, maybe, I don't know." Sanne's heart and hopes are crushed. "We're going to die." Sanne starts to cry.
"Maybe not. If…" Naia looks at Ark. "If I had all the power I could activate a Tower. If I did then I would have the power to convert the energy to the Super Computer, launch a return, and create the time warp."
"I, I won't give up my power we're partners, equals."
"Then die Ark."
"Look we don't have time to argue." Dante takes control of the situation. "And even then it might not work. I think we need to get everyone on Lyoko and use the activated Tower to protect the Super Computer. It might be a long time to live on Lyoko but its better then dying."
"We don't have the power to send everyone to Lyoko do we? Only the Tramp has been able to go."
"Well maybe now we can. I don't know but we have fixed the Super Computer some more and maybe now we can send more. I'm not giving up." Dante punches his left palm with his right hand.
"I, Naia we're partners you can't take my powers."
"Yes I can if it means saving my neck! Just give them to me for now and I'll give them back Ark. We don't have time to argue!"
"I won't just," A loud noise stops Ark. He turns into a black mist and goes outside. He looks up to see that the asteroid had just slammed into the second moon and now was pushing it into Earth. Science and history never knew that the asteroid wasn't what hit the planet but the second moon. "Frak I can't let us all die." He turns into a black mist and goes back to the Control Room to find only Dante and Naia. "Where are the others?"
"I'm sending them to Lyoko now." Dante hits a key sending Barack, Krieger, and Mira to Lyoko. "Get in Sanne." She steps in. "Transfer Sanne, Scanner Sanne, and," An error comes up. "No!"
"Move!" Naia knocks Dante away and sparks with energy. She sends it to the Super Computer and Sanne lands on Lyoko. "Go now Dante. I'll send you my love." A tear forms at Naia's eye before she sparks with energy destroying it. "Now!" Dante hurries down the ladder and soon lands on Lyoko with the others. "Now it is your turn Ark. Give me your energy!"
"Yes Naia." Ark and Naia kiss, transferring his energy into Naia. Ark collapses to the floor. "I, what, where am I? What happened?"
"You are about to die Ark." Naia smiles evilly. Her plan was working like a charm.
"What, wait, Naia? Where are the others? The last thing I remember was Sanne destroying the orb then, nothing."
"It doesn't matter Ark. You are going to die now." Naia grabs Ark by the neck. "Now that I got my power back from you without a fight I am complete! Once I get us back home I will attack and destroy the rest!"
"No Naia please, don't do it!" Naia turns herself and Ark into black mists and takes him to the Factory roof.
"Watch Ark." He looks up and sees the second moon falling into Earth's atmosphere.
On Lyoko the others wait. Soon pulsations appear. "She did it." Sanne holds Krieger's hand in hers. "But what about Ark? If he doesn't have his powers he needs to come to Lyoko."
"I don't know. Maybe she didn't take all of it or sent him to Sector 5 to keep him away from us." Mira worries about Ark and is surprised. After he turned on them she thought she hated him but now she was worried.
"We'll find out soon I hope." Dante is about to break down. If this failed… They would die. If he had told Sanne to leave him alone and leave him trapped in the Tower this never would have happened. If he hadn't met Naia she never would have become corrupted. If he had only never been born by Xana…
"Now!" Naia laughs evilly as she sparks with energy. The second moon had just entered the atmosphere and was on its path to the Yucatan Peninsula in what would become Mexico.
"No, Naia please save me!" Ark grabs at her pant leg but it sparks and he is forced to let go.
"Goodbye Ark!" Naia sparks with more energy as she activates two more Towers. The second moon makes contact with Earth and the shockwave, the earthquake, the flash of the explosion, is so powerful even in the land that would become France, thousands of miles away it is seen, felt, and heard. As the energy disperses across the planet Naia forms a sort of energy funnel leading down to the battery core of the Super Computer. Energy sparks around the control panel in the Control Room as the return program is brought up. "Return to the future now!" A blue dome of light comes out of the Factory then stops. "I need more energy!" She converts more to the Super Computer and the blue dome of energy grows. When it reaches her she sees time is stopped inside of the dome. She sees trees, animals, rock being hurled and destroyed by the shockwave. She looks down and sees what is left of Ark. He was already dead and was being disintegrated by the blast. She concentrates and converts more energy to the Super Computer causing the blue dome of energy to grow.
"Please God, Allah, Hurn, Krishna, Goddess, Buddha, anyone," Dante is on his knees praying. "Don't let my friends die. Don't let my friends die!" He starts to shake as he tries to force anything he could to the Gods to protect his friends.
"Hahahaha!" Naia laughs insanely as the blue dome of energy expands. "And now the time warp!" A tear cuts across the sky inside of the blue dome of energy and it starts to grow. She can feel a pull and resists it as she keeps up the conversion of energy to the Super Computer. The tear grows and it starts to weaken Naia. "No I need all the energy I can get! I can't die here!" The blue dome of energy starts to shrink as the tear gets bigger.
"Aaaa!" Sanne sits up in bed. "What the frak?"
"Babe?" She turns and sees Skitz. "Are you ok?"
"No, no!" Sanne starts to cry uncontrollably.
"Babe what's wrong?" Skitz gets out of bed and goes to comfort Sanne but Sanne pushes her away.
"They're dead, they're all dead!" Sanne collapses back onto her bed sobbing. "It didn't work! They're all dead!" Sanne punches her pillow then grabs it and throws it at the window. "And it's my fault!" Sanne grabs the alarm clock and throws it. "My fault!" She punches the wall.
"Babe it was just a dream calm down." Skitz ducks a book as Sanne gets out of the bed and runs out of the room. "Sanne don't!" Skitz chases after her.
Sanne runs out of the dorm building and into the woods. She runs and runs and doesn't stop until she gets to the Hermitage. She tries to go inside but the door is locked and Skitz catches up with her. "Sanne calm down no one is dead."
"Yes they are! I, I'm only here because I died! They're all dead but I came here! I don't deserve this! I don't deserve any of this!" Sanne leans against the door then slides down to the porch. "I don't deserve to live." She cries again this time letting Skitz comfort her.
"It's ok Babe it was just a bad dream." Skitz hugs her and rocks her in her arms trying to comfort Sanne.
A/N Why the early update? Shitty day. Truck breaks down after being "fixed" for 328 dollars and now it is about 50miles away at a shop near where it was towed to for 105 dollars off of the turnpike. My sis lends me her truck, says its for sale, but refuses to sell it to me because she's a bitch. My grandmother has a stroke and is in the hospital. I found out an AMP energy drink I like is being discontinued at the store I work at so can't drink it anymore. And shit just piling up on me in general. So make myself happy and see your reviews. Also, this leads to new series, duh.
