Again, restarted at a certain point because I have too many ideas.
Krieger and Skitz are walking through the woods as a light snow falls. "It' so beautiful Krieger." She rests her head on his shoulder.
They are both amazed at first since it very rarely snowed anywhere below the Artic Circle.
"It is. The last time I saw snow I was in the cottage with the Belpois when my parents visited them after Christmas a couple years ago."
"We didn't make it that year, did we?"
"No, you were doing things with your dad's side."
"That's right. Having to deal with over a dozen aunts and over a hundred cousins." She laughs. "Yet grandma and grandpa never complain."
"A couple of the grand kids are well behaved I'm sure."
"For them we are." Skitz stops. "Krieger let's make a snowman!" It has been nearly a decade since Skitz had seen snow. It had been nearly a decade since she got to make a snowman.
"Ok but we might need more snow for that." Krieger and Skitz start making a snowman as the snow falls.
"Come on Mira snow is great!" Ark had thrown a snowball at Mira and Mira had been mad since then. "Don't make me do this."
"Ark I don't want to play in the snow, its cold." She is about to find out how cold when Ark gets a snowball and shoved it down the back of her shirt. "Ark!" She turns around and pushes him into the snow.
He laughs so Mira grabs and throws some at him. He throws some back. They start a snowball war when a civilian is hit.
"Hey, no fair, my back was turned!" The student grabs some snow and throws it at Ark. More students join in the fight increasing the war.
Sanne is sitting in her room staring at her computer screen. "Why, won't, it, work." She takes a breath between every word as she gets frustrated. "I hate you." She taps the screen of her Jtop. "I could replace you in a minute. My dad probably has a better one out right now." She closes it.
A snowball hits the window. "Oh hey, it's snowing." She has been inside since she woke up that Sunday morning working on a program to save Dante and hadn't even looked out her window. "Just like home."
Sanne sighs as she thinks about being back home at her cottage with her mom and dad. She remembers a couple winters ago when Ulrich and Yumi visited with Krieger. That had been a great winter and she thinks about Krieger some more. "Whoa, no, he's just a friend." She shakes her head. "Dante is counting on you to rescue him. You can play in the snow when he's freed from Xana." She opens her Jtop again and continues to work on the program. She had worked on every part and couldn't find a way to expand the program outside of a Tower.
Back outside... "Ha, you look so cute like that." Skitz reaches up and hits a branch causing snow to fall on Krieger's head.
"Thanks, cute, I'm a guy you know." Krieger smiles at her. He is really starting to like Skitz. Not that I can tell her that. She's just acting like this for her plan. He had problems at first but the more he is with Skitz the easier it is to think of Sanne as just a friend. "But you…" Krieger picks Skitz up and then tosses her into the snow.
She laughs and throws a snow ball at him. He tackles her then leans down and kisses her surprising her. "You feel so warm."
He never kisses me first. What was that all about?
"I may feel warm to you but I'm starting to get cold." Skitz and Krieger get up. "Hmmm, I dare you to…" She whispers into his ear.
"No way, it is way too cold for that!" Krieger laughs and pushes Skitz away. "Hey, what was that?" Krieger turns around after feeling something tug on his leg and sees nothing.
"Won't trick me." Skitz gets Krieger in the face with a snowball.
"Cheap shot!" Krieger picks up a handful of snow and packs it into a snow ball. "Whoa!" He feels something tug on his leg again. He looks down but doesn't see anything. Skitz looks down and Krieger takes his chance. He pulls on her shirt and hits her in the chest with a snowball.
"Aaaa!" She pulls away. "That's cold!" She laughs as does Krieger.
"Well that's for the tree branch." Krieger laughs and then stops when he feels something tug on his leg again. "What is that?" He looks down and sees the snow creeping up his leg! "No, Xana…"
"What?" Skitz thinks she heard Krieger say something.
"Um, I think Xana might be attacking."
Skitz is confused. "Why didn't Sanne call us?" She feels the snow grab at her leg. "Xana!"
Sanne wakes up at her desk. "What?" She rubs her eyes. She had fallen asleep due to boredom. The Super Scan is beeping as her phone rigns. "Krieger?"
"Xana is attacking! He's trying to get Skitz and I right now."
Sanne is a little too tired to think. "Oh, um, I'll call the others? I mean, you two be safe I'll call the others."
"Ok, be careful the snow is attacking."
"What?" Krieger hangs up so Sanne doesn't get an answer. "Ice Sector, great, snow outside snow inside."
Ark and Mira are running through the sewers for the Factory. "This sucks it's snowing out and it's Xana?" Ark loves playing in the snow.
"Sanne didn't say that though. Sanne said Krieger was being attacked and it was the snow. But I didn't notice anything." Mira at first was annoyed but then she got into the snowball fight.
"Well what do we do if it is the snow? A return or what?" Mira gets to the ladder and climbs up it. She pushes on the sewer cover but can't move it. "Ark you're a man you do this." She climbs down and Ark climbs up.
He pushes on the sewer cover and can't move it. "Come on, you can do this, heave!" He pushes hard with his shoulder and moves the cover. He raises his right hand up and pushes again then slides the cover over. "Snow was that heavy?" He climbs up and sees there isn't that much on the cover. "So my lady now that the man has done his job are you coming?"
Ark laughs and as he waits for Mira to climb up he feels something wrap around his leg. He looks down and sees the snow wrapping around his right leg and moving up. "Aaaa!" He tears his leg away and trips. The snow covers over his body as he tries to get back up. Mira climbs up and sees him fighting with the snow.
"Ark!" She runs over and tries to help him up when the snow attacks her. "Get off of me!" She falls down as a glob of snow slams into her.
Sanne gets to the end of the passage and hears Mira yelling. She looks up as she climbs up the ladder and sees Mira's legs kicking. "Mira! Where are the others?" Mira doesn't answer, she is too busy yelling and fighting the snow.
Sanne gets to the entrance and has to block Mira's legs with her arm. She gets out and sees Mira from the waist up is covered with snow. She grabs a leg and pulls on it and Mira is freed.
"Sanne, Ark, he's in there somewhere." Mira spits snow out of her mouth and shakes her head to get it out of her hair and points to the bridge.
"Ok, um, maybe that?" Sanne points to a mound of snow and Mira shrugs. She had lost where Ark was.
Sanne runs over to the mound. She starts to dig in the snow unafraid. Xana would want her to go to Lyoko and wouldn't take her, so Sanne thinks.
But now it seems Xana has other plans as the snow she is digging out attacks her. "Aaaa!" She falls over when the snow gets to her knees and knocks her over.
"Sanne, get to the Factory!" Mira runs over and tackles Sanne knocking her free. "Get to the ele…" The snow covers Mira and she struggles with it.
"I can't go alone!" Sanne grabs Mira's hand and pulls Mira away from the snow. They run to the Factory entrance and Sanne stops. "Mira, we need to get Ark and the others." Sanne turns around and sees the snow coming at them.
"Deactivating the Tower will save them!" Mira jumps and swings down the rope and soon Sanne follows. They run over to the elevator when they hear a yell.
"Ark!" Sanne runs back but Mira stops her.
"Deactivating the Tower will save them! Don't waste time fighting the snow!" Mira has to pull on Sanne's shirt to get her to follow to the elevator. Mira hits the button and the doors open as another yell is heard.
Sanne sees Krieger jumping for the rope and missing! Krieger falls to the floor and even with his training can't brace himself for the fall. He hits hard and his skull bounces off the floor.
"Mira, we can get Krieger." Sanne runs over to Krieger and Mira follows. They drag him to the elevator and take it down to the Control Room where Sanne gets off. "Get him in a Scanner who knows how badly he was hurt."
Sanne waits for what seems to be a life time before she sees Mira and Krieger through the security camera. She sends them then sets up the auto transfer for herself. She soon lands on Lyoko next to the Overbike, Overwing, and Overboard.
"Alright only three of us I call the Over…" Sanne runs past Mira and jumps onto the Overboard. "Board."
"I have to be fast incase Xana come after me. Get on the Overwing and let's go. The Tower is west of here. Dang, leave the snow of Earth for the snow of Lyoko." They were in the Ice Sector and after Mira gets on the Overwing and Krieger on the Overbike they take off for the Tower.
Sanne goes, gets sent back, things go to shit, day is saved anyways
"I'm right here." Krieger hugs Sanne and feels her warmth. "Sanne I'm sorry I couldn't save you." He squeezes her hard in his arms glad she was ok.
"It wasn't your fault. I should have known he was planning something like that." Sanne hugs Krieger then let's go. "I'm an idiot!"
"No you're not Sanne." Krieger let's her go. "You do your best."
"My best isn't good enough. I spent all day working on a program and all I have is bloodshot eyes and a sore back."
"Not anymore." Krieger smiles at her. "But maybe you could take a break?" Krieger puts a hand on Sanne's head. "But you should get a hat. Your hair is starting to grow back but not all there yet."
"Um, if you guys don't mind I could take a break." Sanne wants to help her friends. To her that means working on the Super Computer and freeing Dante from Xana.
"No, it's not ok with us." Sanne looks over at Ark. "Wow you were really asking us? Sanne you don't need our permission to do something." Ark rolls his eyes. "Be a teen for once."
"Well, I, ok, I'll take a break." Sanne smiles. "Snowball fight?"
"If one is still going on at the school we can join forces and crush everyone!" Ark raises a fist into the air. "Lyoko Warriors unite!" The group laughs as they get on the elevator.
They leave the Factory and head back to Kadic Academy to join in the snowball fight that had grown and taken in the whole school, students and teachers.
