Sanne's head hurt. It had hurt since she came to the new world. Every thing she took didn't get rid of it. "Modern medicine my ass." She pops two more pills and hopes they work.
Sanne goes to the Factory for the second time since she leapt in to the world. The first time had been during an attack and she only had time too fight.
Sanne takes the elevator down to the Control Room and sits down in the computer chair. "Um, Dante can you hear me?" A screen comes up.
"Hello Sanne how was your day?" Sanne rubs her temples, the headache still there. "Sanne?"
"Ok, I guess. Um, what do you think about coming to Earth?" Dante has a shocked look on his face.
"How? Sanne we still need to figure out the vehicles, Transporter, and other programs before we worry about me coming too Earth."
"With you here you will be safer. Just give me a few minutes." Sanne closes a screen then opens another. "Frak." She stares at the screen. "I just need a minute to figure it out." She takes the headset off. "Why can't I remember?" She rubs her temples trying to fight the headache off.
After nearly an hour Sanne lies down on the floor. The headache won't go away and only gets worse. "Modern medicine, bleh, I want my magic." Sanne's head pounds just behind the eyes.
A screen appears and Dante looks through. He sees Sanne lying on the floor. "Sanne are you hurt?"
"My head is killing me! This damn headache won't go away."
"Maybe the Scanners can help you. They can heal physical forms of damage and if the damage is in your brain it would heal you."
"Dante, it might work." Sanne goes over to the elevator and takes it down to the Scanner Room. She gets in the middle Scanner and soon the doors close.
When the doors open Sanne rubs her temples. "It's less painful." She groans in pain. "But it's not gone. Some thing really frakked up happened to my head." She goes back to the elevator and takes it up to the Control Room.
Sanne tries to work on the programs but the headache was too much. That and for some reason she couldn't remember the codes and key strokes. "I need to do this, for Dante." Sanne keeps trying to work.
Sanne leaves the Factory lost in thoughts and lack of memories. She couldn't remember the program to bring Dante back. She couldn't remember the program to make the vehicles work. She couldn't remember the programs to delete or control Xana. "What happened? Why can't I remember any thing?" She walks slowly through the sewers trying to figure out what happened.
Sanne lies in her bed when Skitz comes in. "Sorry Sanne, need my makeup fast." Skitz opens a chest and pulls out a small container.
"What, why?"
"That idiot left a hickie on my neck!" Skitz rubs some makeup on her neck. "Doesn't Krieger know not to leave marks? If Jim saw it I'd be in so much trouble." Sanne's interest perks up at the name.
"Krieger?"
"I know, seriously what an idiot." Not what Sanne meant. She has memories… Barely there. She tries to force the memories of her world out.
Wasn't I dating Krieger? "I'm forgetting every thing." She struggles to remember her world. "No, wait, that was a different world. What about my world?" Sanne hears Skitz clear her throat. She didn't know she was talking out loud. "Um, weird dream."
"You need to get a life."
"A life?"
"Besides Xana and his son. I know it means the world to you to fight Xana but you need a life. Maybe get a hobby that isn't related to Lyoko? Or a cute boy there are lots of them here." Skitz dabs a little more makeup on her neck.
"Not Xana's son, Dante."
"What ever it's the same thing."
"No it isn't." Skitz's eyes open wide.
"You like him!" Skitz gasps. "OMG I can't believe you! Sanne what the frak is wrong with you?! He's a half virus freak thing!"
"Not like that Skitz." Sanne shakes her head. "He's human. His parents were human just possessed or controlled by Xana."
"So? I don't trust him farther then I can throw him."
"He wants to help us. He wants us to defeat Xana and is willing to die too do it. He will kill himself. He would die a painful horrible death, if it meant destroying Xana. He is nothing like Xana."
"You got it bad. Sanne really even my brother would be better then that virus freak." Sanne leaps off the bed and pushes Skitz.
"I'm about to add a mark to your face!" Sanne pushes Skitz again. She gets in to a fighting stance then stops. "I forgot my training."
"Back off Sanne! I know how to fight unlike you." Skitz gets in to a fighting stance. "I'm sorry if I pissed you off but that's what he is." Skitz relaxes her stance. "Besides what would your parents say about that virus?"
"Dante isn't a virus! Skitz, you, you don't spend time with him like I do. He's human and should be treated as such."
"You're right I'm busy with real humans who aren't loyal to the thing trying to kill us!"
"He's loyal too me!" Sanne leaps at Skitz who blocks her attack.
"I can't believe you Sanne." Skitz laughs. "I'm sure the others are going to love this. Sanne and Dante sitting on a Krabe, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
"Shut up bitch." Sanne spits at her. "I can't believe you're Skitz. Every other…" Sanne's head spins and she falls backwards. "If I could remember them."
"What the frak has gotten in to you? Sanne you're starting too creep me out. You're acting like, some thing, I don't know."
"Just stop talking about Dante like that. He's willing to die for us I won't let you talk bad about him." Sanne and Skitz try to stare the other one down.
"There is some thing really wrong with you. You like that virus freak." Skitz jabs Sanne in the chest.
"There is some thing really wrong with you. You hate some one so much that has done nothing but help us." Sanne jabs Skitz back.
"For now." Sanne pulls her hand back ready to punch Skitz but Skitz attacks first. She tackles and pins Sanne too the floor. "You're acting very suspiciously for some one who doesn't love that virus freak."
"Get off of me. It's late and we need to go to bed." Sanne pushes Skitz off of her. "And I'll tell Jim about you and Krieger sneaking off campus if you piss me off again."
"You wouldn't dare Sanne. If you want our help to stop Xana and help his kid you better not piss us off." Both girls go to bed turning their backs on each other.
The next morning Sanne sits down for breakfast. The other three sit down and stare at her. "What?"
"Sanne what the frak are you thinking?" Ark gets closer and whispers. "He's Xana's kid."
"Not, right, now." Sanne pushes away from the table and walks away.
Sanne skips class and goes to the Factory. "Dante?" A screen comes up and Dante appears. "How are you?"
"I am well. I have been unable to find the program for the vehicles. If we could split up the load it may go faster."
"Of course Dante. I'll start on the first disc drive in the second part of…" Sanne and Dante get to work.
At lunch the others head for the Factory.
At the Factory, Sanne and Dante have made progress. "Ok, I have the Overwing ready. Are you out of the Tower?"
"Yes Sanne."
"Ok um, here goes." Sanne enters the code. "Any thing?"
"Yes!" The Overwing appears in front of Dante. "You're a genius Sanne."
"I guess." Sanne had to try hard to dig memories out of her brain. She got one or two vague memories that help in the location of the program files and little else. "Well, take it for a spin."
"I may want to go in straight lines but spinning too test the agility of it is also a good idea." Sanne sighs. She was dealing with a Dante oblivious to the real world. She would have to teach him.
"Wait," Didn't I help him in my world? Why can't I remember!
The other Lyoko Warriors make it too the Factory as a black mist appears. "Oh man that's probably Xana." The black mist form in front of Ark.
"Close." It formed in to Dante. "She was so clueless." Energy sparks around his throat. "Oh Dante I'll save you. I love you I won't let my nasty friends say mean things about you." He laughs. "Pathetic."
"I knew it!" Skitz leaps at him but is knocked away.
On Lyoko Dante can feel pulsations. "Sanne, he's attacking."
"I'll call the others. Um, the Super Scan hasn't found it," The Super Scan beeps. "Found it. It's in the same Sector. Xana is up to some thing."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me I have an idea." And that was it. Sanne tried to bring up memories but it was hard to do. Sanne gets her Jcell out and calls the others but none answer.
"Sanne?"
"Xana has them. I, we, we have to do it alone."
"Sanne I can't fight and you are new."
"I can do it. I'll go down, send me too you we'll both ride the Overwing." Sanne activates the auto transfer and hurries down to the Scanner Room.
On Earth the Xana Dante paces back and forth on the bridge. "What to do with you though? I already humiliated her and broke her. I want to do some thing different."
"You might have been able to beat up Sanne but she's weak." Krieger gets in a fighting stance. "We're strong and know how to fight."
"Do you think that will matter? I have the power." Xana Dante sparks with energy. "I will make a deal. You three fight each other, who ever lives will become my knight. The rest will be dead and discarded."
"Like we would ever do that Xana!" Ark leaps at Xana Dante but is shocked and drops to the ground.
"If you want to live. Your sister is still hurting from her failed attack. Why did you think you would do any better?" Xana Dante kicks Ark hard.
Sanne holds on to Dante as he flies towards the activated Tower. "Dante don't do that!" She has to grip tighter as he does a tight turn around a tree.
"Should I crash in to a tree?"
"No just, drive slower or turn earlier I almost fell off last time!" Sanne is nervous but having fun. She was on Lyoko with her friend Dante. She was going to fight a weak Xana. Last time was difficult since the others were there and she couldn't show off. But with just Dante she could since the others wouldn't talk to him.
The three Lyoko Warriors on Earth back away as Xana Dante sparks with more energy. "Dante, we never should have trusted you."
"You didn't. You never trusted me. I helped you and tried my best for you and what did you give me in return? Nothing. Not your trust or friendship. So I went to my father and joined him. He still trusted me, needed me."
"Don't try too make us feel sorry for you half virus freak." Skitz takes a step towards him. "With out your powers you have nothing."
"I had nothing. Now I have power. You have each other, families, friends, and more." Xana Dante points his hand at Skitz. "Back off before I hurt you again. It will hurt your chances of winning the fight for knighthood."
"I don't want to be your knight. None of us do."
"Then you will all die." Xana Dante laughs evilly.
On Lyoko Sanne and Dante see the activated Tower. "No guards if we hurry we might not have to fight." As soon as she says this three Kankrelats and a Block appear. "I need too keep my mouth shut. How many times has that happened?" Sanne can't remember how many times scaring her even more.
"I will stay back on the Overwing and allow you time too distract them."
"Good idea." Sanne closes her eyes and focuses. She can feel the energy deep inside of her. "I can handle them." She leaps off of the Overwing and lands on the Sector below.
Sanne dodges lasers. The Block fires a freeze ray and she slides under it. "I have to do this, I can do this." She screams and an energy beam fires out at the Block hitting it on the Eye destroying it.
"Great job Sanne you hit it with your first shot!"
"I'll do even better." She leaps in to the air and fires another energy beam at a Kankrelat mid air hitting it on the Eye and destroying it.
"Amazing!"
"Amazing." Xana Dante waves his hand and energy blasts the bridge behind the Lyoko Warriors. "You know it is hopeless and still want too fight."
"Of course we do. It is human nature not that you would know any thing about being human." Ark cringes as his injuries hurt.
On Lyoko Sanne is down to one Kankrelat. "Sanne watch out!" Sanne turns and sees a Krabe.
"No big." Sanne dodges two lasers from the Krabe and gets underneath it. The stomach starts too glow but Sanne gets out from under it and is behind it. She jumps on to its back and punches the Eye as hard as she can. The Krabe shakes then explodes. Before Sanne lands on the Sector she fires an energy beam and destroys the last Kankrelat. "Go Dante!" He dives on the Overwing then leaps off and goes in to the activated Tower.
Xana Dante sparks with energy. "Fools." He turns in to a black mist and disappears.
The Lyoko Warriors are stunned. "Why did he disappear?" Ark and Krieger shrug their shoulders.
"The Tower is deactivated." The screens fall around Dante.
"Dante, launch a return we don't know what Xana did to the others."
"Yes Sanne." Soon the white bubble comes up reversing time.
Sanne is in the Factory when the other three show up ready to avenge her death. "What the frak?" Sanne turns around and sees the others.
"Are you ok? I was so worried when you wouldn't answer your phones. But Dante and I took care of the activated Tower by ourselves."
"Wait, Dante? He attacked us!"
"No he didn't he was with me. Dante?" A screen pops up and Dante appears.
"Yes Sanne?"
"Did you attack the others?"
"Of course not I was on Lyoko with you why?"
"But, then," Krieger sighs. "Xana tried to trick us, again." Ark rolls his eyes.
"Of course. If we just left the virus in the Tower we wouldn't have too worry about it."
"You guys don't have to do it. You can run away and be cowards." Sanne stares at the three. "Dante risks his life for us. He risks his life for Earth and asks for nothing in return. Who is the better human?"
"What ever." The other three get on the elevator and leave the Factory.
"Sanne, do you really think I'm human?" Dante can't hide the sadness in his voice.
"I know you are Dante. You're a better human then some I thought were good people. Now let's see if we can't get the other vehicles working." Sanne and Dante get to work.
After curfew Sanne sneaks back in to Kadic Academy. "I lost track of time. Please don't be on patrol grandpa." Sanne gets inside of the dorm building.
When she gets too her room she sees Ark sitting in front of the door. "Ark do you know how much trouble you would be in if Jim caught you on the girl's floor after hours? How many hours of detention do you think he'd give you?"
"I don't care. Sanne what is wrong with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You treat Dante like he's one of us."
"He is one of us. If you want to fight about it go ahead but it just proves too me he's a better human then the rest of you." Sanne tries to get past Ark but he grabs her by the arms.
"How can you say that? You know what his father is."
"Human? His father was William, his mother Ms. Delmas."
"You know there was more then that." Ark and Sanne stare daggers at each other. "You know Xana was more then just a watcher."
"And Dante turns on him! Dante could have joined him but didn't. He wants Xana dead as much as I do!"
"Sanne think about it. Think about the why."
"Why what? Why do we want Xana dead? Are you kidding me?"
"No, why can't you see what's in front of you?"
"I see some one who hates another person because of what his father did! Even though that same person fights against his father when he didn't have to. He could have turned his back on humanity but he didn't."
"Is that it?" Ark leans closer to Sanne. "You don't see what I see when I see you?" His arm reaches towards her.
"Whoa Ark, back off." Sanne backs away instead. "I, I can't be thinking about stuff like that now. I have to stop Xana. I, I have to make things work. We got the vehicles too work, you'll have the Overboard."
"That's not what I want."
"Well you can't have what you want as long as you act like you do. Do you really think hatred for some one as nice and kind hearted as Dante looks good? Do you think hatred for some one who is willing too die for all of us looks nice?"
"But, Sanne, you, we, we said once we came here we'd you know, try to date and stuff since we're away from our parents."
"And now that I've seen the real you maybe I changed my mind." Sanne pushes past Ark and goes in to her room slamming the door shut behind her.
A/N And so Sanne is in a new world that is kind of like the one she… can't remember. Losing her memories is hurting her not just because it's harder to do things with the Super Computer but also because she is forgetting her world. She is forgetting the things she has done. Will it get worse or be fixed? We will find out!
