Sanne is at the Factory working with Dante. "I moved the parameters so the blocking should be gone. Let's try this program again." Sanne wipes sweat from her brow. "Ok Dante, step in to the middle of the platform."
"I am already in the middle Sanne." Dante looks around nervously. "You don't have to do this Sanne. I am content with being here."
"I'm not content with you being stuck on Lyoko." Sanne sighs as she knows his reason for being worried. "Don't listen to them. They don't know you like I do." Even with her memories slipping away she could cling on to the important ones. "You are coming to Earth."
Ark nearly chokes. "What? She's bringing it too Earth. We have to stop her." He starts to climb down from the other passage.
"Don't. We can't do any thing can we? We stop her today she does it tomorrow." Krieger shakes his head. "All this is over that half virus freak."
"We won't let her, I won't let her." Skitz leaps over the side. "Stop it right now!" Sanne misses a key stroke.
"What are you doing here? No, Dante, I have to cancel," A red exclamation point comes up. "No, damn it Skitz why did you interrupt me? This was dangerous as it was! Dante get out of the Tower!" There is no response.
"Sanne we aren't going to let you bring that thing to Earth." Skitz walks towards Sanne. "That thing," Sanne cuts her off.
"That thing is Dante!" Sanne feels a rush of energy explode from her chest. "And if I lose him I'll kill you." A tiny spark of energy pops near her right eye. "I can do it."
"What the frak? You're getting that pissed off over that virus?" Sanne punches Skitz hard in the face. She falls backwards holding her nose.
"I am going to save him and you are going to help. I was trying to bring him to Earth when you interrupted me. Now there are so many errors I don't know if I can save him."
"Fine, bitch." Skitz puts a hand under her nose and feels the blood. "Frak me helping you do it."
"Or me." Ark climbs down the ladder. "Come on guys leave her to the virus freak." Skitz and Ark walk over to the elevator.
"You guys go, I'm going to watch."
"You're going to help her?" Skitz stares ignoring the blood running out her nose.
"No I'm going to watch. I'll let you guys know what happens." Krieger sits down on the floor as the twins step on the elevator.
"Frak you, all of you." Energy sparks through Sanne's hair. "Wow I have a lot of energy in this world." She holds her hand up and watches the energy spark around it. "Go away Krieger, go with them."
"Nope." The elevator doors close and the twins leave the Factory. "What can I do to help?" He gets up. "Errors and stuff I can't do any thing to help. But if there is any reason to go to Lyoko I'm there."
"You'll help me and Dante?" Sanne is surprised.
"Might as well. We need all the help we can get to fight Xana. I don't like him but we need the help."
"Thank you Krieger." Sanne goes back to the control panel. With her energy rushing through her veins her fingers move faster then ever. "Get in a Scanner, the middle one preferably."
"On it." Krieger takes the ladder down to the Scanner Room and gets in the middle Scanner. "I'm ready Sanne."
"Transfer Krieger, Scanner Krieger, and virtualization." Krieger lands on Lyoko outside of the Tower Dante was in. "Krieger can you hear me?"
"Yeah um, what now Sanne?" Krieger looks at the Tower.
"Try to enter the Tower." Krieger places hand against it and can't push through. "Well?"
"Nope. What's next?"
"Try um, use your sword to break in." Krieger is confused.
"What sword? I'm not Ark." Sanne shakes her head. A new world and new powers for her friends.
"Use your axe to try and break in."
Krieger swings a few times but his axe bounces off. "Sanne I can't get in."
"Ok then the Tower was damaged not Dante. That means we have a better chance to save him."
"Any thing else I can do?"
"Not right now, thank you Krieger for helping him, me, us."
"So there is a us with Dante?" Sanne growls a little in frustration.
"Not like that. He's my, our friend."
"He is your friend. I don't know what I think of him."
"We'll talk about it later. I have to fix the Tower." Sanne gets to work.
Xana notices a problem on Lyoko. A black mist flies towards the damaged Tower and flies around. "Um, Sanne I think Xana knows some thing is going on." Krieger pulls his axe back out.
"Hold him off if you can. If you couldn't enter the Tower then Xana shouldn't be able to do it either." I hope. "If any Mega Tanks show up that could be dangerous. They can damage the Tower."
"I'll stop them Sanne." Krieger watches the black mist. "But hurry I don't know how many I could stop."
Sanne works through program code and lines of data. "I'm not seeing any errors. Dante if you have any ideas it would be nice too hear them." No response. "He probably can't even hear me."
Dante is looking around a blank white space. "Hello?" His voice echoes. "Sanne, can you hear me? Is this how it is going between Lyoko and Earth? Should it be taking so long?" He floats around the empty space.
Krieger hears a noise and turns to see a Mega Tank. "You were right Sanne, Mega Tank."
"Keep them off I have to figure out what happened. I need too find the errors." Sanne keeps scanning through thousands of lines of code and information.
Krieger circles around the Mega Tank keeping himself between it and the damaged Tower. "Make your move I dare you."
"Stop taunting it and destroy it already." Sanne finds a glitch. "Just keep it busy I found some thing." Sanne scans the glitch and studies it. "A major some thing if this reads right."
"I'll try to destroy it but I am alone." The Mega Tank opens and charges a blast. "Super Sprint!" He rushes the Mega Tank and before it can fire he slashes it with his axe across the Eye and destroys it. "That was actually pretty easy."
"You get the easy part." Sanne is unable to fix the glitch quickly. "I need help and only Dante can."
"What about your grandma? Couldn't she help?"
"Then we'd have to launch a return to wipe her memories. I don't need to make Xana stronger because of a stupid glitch." Sanne sighs. "Dante you would be a lot of help right now."
Dante is floating through nothing. Just white space every where around him. "Sanne, should it be taking this long? Do you all go through this?" He waits for a response. Verbal or physical. "I'm getting worried Sanne please." He continues floating.
Krieger hears a noise and runs around the damaged Tower to see a Mega Tank and a Krabe. "This will be a little harder." He blocks a laser with the flat of his axe. "Sanne maybe you could call the others?"
"And tell them what? They hate Dante and Skitz will be mad that you're helping him." Sanne scans the glitch again. "And I'm kind of busy could you keep it quiet?" She studies the date again looking for any thing that could help.
"I'm just looking for some help!" Krieger dodges a laser. "If the Mega Tank fires and I go to block it the Krabe will be able to destroy me."
"I know, I, I'll call them and tell them Xana's attacking they have to come for that." Sanne gets her Jcell out.
Skitz ignores her phone but Ark answers his. "What is it?"
"Xana's attacking. Krieger's on Lyoko fighting a Mega Tank and a Krabe. If you could find a way to make room for coming to the Factory that would be great." Sanne hangs up on him before he can respond.
"Super Sprint!" Krieger runs at the Krabe and cuts a leg off. Being lopsided it struggles to turn and fire a laser at him. The Mega Tank spins aiming at him but he keeps moving.
Ark and Skitz skate through the sewers. "He's probably attacking because of what Sanne did." Ark's malice is thick in his words.
"He's attacking because she released him. So I'd say yes he's attacking because of what Sanne did bro." Skitz and Ark go faster through the sewers.
Another Mega Tank rolls up to the damaged Tower as Krieger tries to destroy the first one. "Sanne I need help! There are too many of them!"
"I can't come to Lyoko I have to fix this." Sanne starts too sweat. "When they get here I'll send them."
Dante hears a voice. "Sanne?" He tries to float towards the sound of the voice. "Please help me. You have to help me I'm getting worried, scared."
Sanne hears the elevator running. "The Twins are here I'll send them as soon as they're in the Scanners." The elevator goes straight to the Scanner Room.
"We're ready." They run in to the left and right Scanner.
"Transfer Ark, Transfer Skitz, Scanner Ark, Scanner Skitz, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko near the damaged Tower. "Keep the Mega Tanks from damaging the Tower even more!"
"Why should we? I'm here to help Krieger." Skitz pulls out a dagger. "What about you Ark?"
"I might have some fun destroying them." He pulls out a broadsword. "So let's have fun." He lunges at a Mega Tank.
"What about the activated Tower?" Skitz runs to Krieger's side.
"There is none. I only said Xana was attacking I didn't say he activated a Tower." Sanne goes back to working on the glitch.
Krieger and Skitz are on either side of a Mega Tank. It spins with them trying to aim at one and then the other. Ark leaps out of the way of a Mega Tank blast. It slams in to a tree damaging it. "I think we should stop playing around." He charges the Mega Tank but it closes.
Skitz holds her dagger up. "Come on and open." She stands still.
"Skitz be careful!"
"Don't worry Krieger I can handle it." The Mega Tank aims at her and opens up. "Hai!" Skitz throws her dagger and hits the Mega Tank on the Eye destroying it. "I told you so."
"Oh man, more." Ark backs away from the Mega Tank he was dealing with when two more appear with a group of Hornets. "Sanne we need help."
"Well I can't!" Sanne breaks down the glitch trying to find the error that caused it. "This is your fault Skitz. Damn it he should be here by now."
"How in the hell is this my fault?" She dodges a laser fired from a Hornet. "I have to fight so we'll talk later." Skitz blocks a laser with her dagger.
"If there is a later Skitz." Sanne dissects the glitch more looking for a way too fix it. If she didn't she didn't know how mad she would be at Skitz. If she lost Dante…
"Super Sprint!" Krieger runs and jumps towards a tree. He runs up the tree and leaps off at the Hornets. He swings his axe and destroys two in one swing.
Dante hears laser fire and voices but can't get to them. "Some thing went wrong. I'm not going to Earth." He continues floating through the blank space. "What went wrong?"
A Mega Tank aims at the damaged Tower. "I don't think so!" Krieger throws his axe and hits the Mega Tank. He doesn't hit the Eye but it distracts the Mega Tank. "And now I don't have a weapon, damn." He backs away.
"Hai!" Skitz throws a dagger at the Mega Tank and hits the Eye destroying it. "Are you ok Krieger?"
"Yeah." Krieger runs over and grabs his axe. "Still have a couple of Hornets and a Mega Tank to deal with.
Sanne looks through the glitch when she sees a red zero. "There it is. One little zero and it throws the whole thing off." She deletes it and replaces it with a one. "I'll have you guys out of there as soon as Dante is out of the Scanner." She takes the headset off and hurries to the ladder.
Dante stumbles out of the middle Scanner. "What happened?" He looks up and sees Sanne coming down the ladder. "Sanne?"
"Dante!" Sanne leaps down the last four rungs and runs to him. She hugs him hard. "You're here." She squeezes him harder. "You're actually here."
"I, I am." Dante slowly moves his arms too hug Sanne. "Um, I guess this means I'm um, able to do stuff?" Dante takes in a deep breath of air. He smells Sanne's perfume and smiles.
"The mall and the restaurant, movies, and any thing else. You have to try eating. And then maybe get you too the pool."
"A pool? A place where swimming is done." Sanne nods.
"Well yeah. Oh wait you don't know how to swim." Memories come to Sanne from her original world. She smiles thinking of them. "I'll teach you ok? And then we can go to the skate park, and maybe a race, or an amusement park. There is so much to do on Earth I can't wait to show you."
"I'll do any thing you ask of me Sanne." Sanne looks up in to Dante's eyes and smiles.
"Well come with me to the Control Room so we can bring the others back and then we'll go out ok?"
"Um, ok." Dante and Sanne climb up the ladder.
After bringing the others back Sanne and Dante leave the Factory before the others saw him. Sanne didn't like how they treated him before and didn't want a fight to be the first thing to happen for Dante on Earth. She had plans and wanted to get started on them right away.
A/N Ok people, I'm sure you're wondering what is going on, what this is all for. Some of you probably have it figured out, but for the ones who haven't there is a reason. There is a big plan that is playing out. It will all be revealed, eventually.
