p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Students of Kadic. The Robots have been fought off. Please head into the room next door, you will be safe there. My soldiers will protect you," Weitzler calls./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"With that the students leave their hiding places and walk into the next room, leaving Weitzler alone with the 5 teens./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Who are you? What is going on here? Who is XANA? What do they want with you? What do they want with Kadic?" he asks angrily./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I don't know what you are talking about. I think those robots were clearly mistaken," Jeremie responds/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Really. They just happened to know your names?" Weitzler asks sarcastically/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Jeremie, we must tell them everything," Aelita responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It's over. XANA is too powerful for us to fight alone. 9 of these soldiers just fought off an entire army of XANA's robots. We couldn't even take one of them. We need their help," Yumi continues./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Fine," Jeremie says, with regret in his voice./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"And so they told Weitzler everything- about XANA, the factory, Lyoko, all the different attacks, how William had been possessed by XANA, the Skid, and their missions to the Replikas./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Why didn't you tell anyone? Why didn't you ask for help?" Weitzler asks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Because- we thought no one would believe us," Yumi answers/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I don't blame you. If it wasn't for the large robot army that we just took out I'm not sure if I would have believed you either," Weitzler answers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Now then, you mentioned a factory. Where is this factory?" Weitzler continues./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It's right nearby," Aelita states./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Another, smaller robot army appears to have taken control of a factory. It looks like that's where we're heading next," Weitzler responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"_/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""My lord, there was a complication in our attack on Kadic Academy," William says as he bows to XANA./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""What kind of complication?" XANA responds/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""The robot army was defeated," William answers/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"HOW?!" XANA shouts/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Analysis of the video feed shows warriors with weapons implanted in them. They led our army away from the science building and ambushed them. The warriors also exploited a bug in their programming which caused them to fire on each other. The Lyoko warriors are alive," William responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""What is the status of the force at the factory?" XANA asks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""The factory is secure," William answers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Order the combat robots to destroy the supercomputer. And then retreat back to their base," XANA orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""But, my lord, won't that also harm you?" William answers, in shock/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It is more important for me to stop the Lyoko warriors from fighting against me than it is to keep Lyoko intact. Don't question my decisions again," XANA responds angrily./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It will be done my lord," William answers meekly as he turns and leaves the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"_ /p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After escorting the 5 teens back into the room with all the other students, Lieutenant Weitzler orders: "Gadbois, L'hopital, Shaw, remain behind and guard the students. Please confine these 5 teens to the Principal's office until you receive further instructions,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Are they under arrest?" L'hopital asks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Not right now. But they are being held under suspicion of aiding and abetting the enemy," Lieutenant Weitzler responds/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""But," Jeremie says/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""No buts. Until we can secure the factory and I can talk to my superiors I have no choice but to keep you in custody. Do not try to escape. We Defender's lack non lethal weaponry," Lieutenant Weitzler answers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"With that Lieutenant Weitzler and the other 4 Defenders exit the class room and begin going down the stairs from the 4th floor. Once outside the building they rendezvous with Paris squad 1./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Sergeant D'Hondt, I am assigning you command of Kadic Academy. Please detail 5 members of your squad to assist my squad on our mission. Check in with my squad members on the 4th floor for your mission," Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Yes sir. Boucher, Gauthier, Angier with me," D'Hondt responds as he turns around and heads into the building./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Follow me," Weitzler orders as he turns around and begins sprinting to the main entrance. Once at the entrance he turns onto the main road and leads the squad to the factory. Once at the factory they crouch behind the bushes and trees./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Keying in his optical enhancers, Weitzler states: "I don't see anything. Where did the robots go,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Using his IR, Blanc responds: "I don't see anything matching the robot's heat profile on IR,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""This is strange. Blanc, Booker, secure the bridge. Once they're ready, the rest of you, on me," Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Blanc and Booker cautiously move, with their fingers curled into firing position. Reaching the sides of the bridge, they crouch down behind their pillars, with their left legs stretched out, aimed directly at the large, open entrance to the factory. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""We're in position," they whisper./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Weitzler pops up from behind the trees. As he quickly but silently moves towards the bridge, the other Defenders pop up and form a V formation behind him. Unchallenged, they reach the factory entrance, and crouch down on their stomachs, staring down at the floor of the factory's main style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After making sure it is clear, Weitzler signals for the other 2 Defenders to join them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Cover me," he whispers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Before the other Defenders can respond he jumps from the factory floor, and lands smoothly on the floor of the factory. Hands curled into firing position he quickly scouts out the base of the factory floor. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Clear. Come on down," he whispers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"One by one the other Defenders jump down into the factory, hands curled into firing position. Once all of them are down, they slowly advance towards the elevator shaft. At the elevator shaft, they form a semicircle of soldiers, with their fingers curled into firing position, ready for a threat. Weitzler presses the elevator control button several times- with no response. Looking down into the shaft, he sees that the elevator cable has been cut./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It looks like the elevator has been sabotaged. Clawson, Blanc with me. The rest of you, guard the entrance," Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Yes sir," they all respond./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Weitzler jumps straight down and lands in a crouch on top of the elevator. Once Clawson and Blanc have joined him, he looks for an access hatch. Once he finds it, he pulls it open, and Clawson swings into the elevator, ready for an attack. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Clear," he whispers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"The other 2 Defenders swing inside. Clawson goes up to the elevator door, and punches 2 smallspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spangrip holes in it using his cutting lasers. Once the holes have cooled he reaches into them. Using his servo strength he lifts the corrugated metal door and locks it into the open position. Seeing the second door with its strange looking locking mechanism, the 3 Defenders bring their left legs up and fire a triple blast of their anti-armor lasers into the locking mechanism. They then wedge their fingers into the gap between the doors and pry them apart. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Immediately they see a large room with graffiti on the walls and a circular pattern on the roof. In the center, is a strange, partial pillar, with several holes burnt into it. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Whatever this thing is, it looks like the Robots wanted it destroyed," Clawson whispers, seeing the holes burnt into it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""That is the supercomputer. The original home of XANA," Weitzler responds.2/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""How do you know that?" Booker asks, surprised./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""While you were off clearing the science building I was interviewing a few of the kids," Weitzler responds/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Seriously, why do you believe those kids. What could they know about this XANA? They are obviously trying to get their 5 seconds of fame," Booker answers/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I believe them because the robots were trying to execute them. That's why the robots went to Kadic. This was the kid's main base for fighting XANA," Weitzler responds calmly./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Surveying the ceiling, Weitzler continues: "We need to check the other rooms,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"With that, he gives a massive servo powered leap and uses his cutting lasers to cut hand holds into the ceiling. The other 2 Defenders follow him, as Weitzler begins swinging from hand hold to hand hold until he reaches an access hatch in the ceiling. Using one arm he dangles from the last hand hold, while with the other he wrenches the hatch open. He then swings from the hand hold, reaches his free hand into the hatch and pulls, causing him to pop up into the scanner room. Inside he sees 3 coffin-like structures with bundles of wires sticking out from them lying on the floor. As he surveys the damage the other 2 Defenders pop through the hatch, hands curled into firing position. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Everything's destroyed," Weitzler whispers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"He then climbs up the ladder set into the wall to a final hatch. He opens it and pops out into another room. Looking around, he sees what appears to be a computer interface lying on the floor, and a small fire burning in the middle of a large white circle. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"As the other 2 Defenders enter the room, Weitzler whispers "We're too late. The factory has been destroyed,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"The 3 Defenders move towards the elevator door. Using another triple blast of their anti-armor laser they burn through the lock and force the door open. They leap into the elevator shaft, grabbing onto the ladder rungs bolted onto the wall. Climbing them, they return to the main floor to find the other Defenders waiting. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""We're heading back Kadic," Weitzler orders as he slowly walks towards the entrance to the factory/span/p
