p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I am relieved. I hereby transfer command of the Paris garrison to you, Colonel Samuel Weitzler and I standby to receive further orders," Captain L'hopital says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I accept this command. Captain L'hopital, gather all the Defender squad leaders and L squad members in the briefing room," Colonel Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Yes sir," Captain L'hopital responds as he walks off./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"_/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Good afternoon. I have gathered you here today to create a strategy to destroy XANA once and for all. Expert technicians from Special Services Squad L have discovered that XANA has returned and has created 60 depots scattered around the world containing hundreds of thousands of his robotic creatures," Colonel Weitlzer says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""As we saw during the Andorra and Greenland campaigns, we simply do not have enough Defenders to mount an effective campaign against XANA that is based solely on frontal assaults," Colonel Weitzler continues grimly./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Would it be possible for us to just carpet bomb these depots to destroy the weapons, and XANA's host supercomputers?" Captain L'hopital asks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I've thought about that, but XANA has a massive fleet of flying combat robots. Additionally, those Tarantulas that he loves are perfect for anti-aircraft duty," Colonel Weitzler replies/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""We also need to figure out how XANA came back from the dead. Until we do that, we could nuke every single depot of his and we still might not wipe him out," Jeremie continues./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Then how do we get rid of XANA?" A young Sergeant asks, his voice just barely wavering in fear./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Jeremie, Aelita- how long do you think it would take to recreate the Skidbladnir and its launch platform?" Colonel Weitzler asks/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""In our free time, Aelita and I actually recreated a mock Lyoko complete with the Skidbladnir," Jeremie responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Perfect. Due to my Defender syndrome, I am not going to routinely lead from the front like I have in the past. Captain L'hopital, you are to lead 3 of your best squadrons to secure the Einstein and Einstein computer facility and clear it of all of XANA's weapons. Once it is secure, we will go into the network and start fighting XANA from there while our technicians work on an anti-virus against XANA. Dismissed," Weitzler says./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"In the dark of night, the large gleaming silver building that contains Einstein and Einstein robotics stands out against the dark waters of the River Seine. Wearing black camouflage uniforms, 3 squads of Defenders converge on the building. One crosses on top of a golden bridge, while the other 2 use black rubber rafts to approach the building./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Viking force is in position," Captain L'hopital says from on top of the bridge./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Python force is in position," another voice says over the microphone/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Hydra force is in position," a third voice says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Mother, this is Viking lead. All units report in position, and everything seems quiet," Captain L'hopital says into his microphone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Viking lead, this is mother. You are cleared to engage as planned. Stay alert- we know that XANA has control of this facility and he will not want to let it go," Weitzler responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Viking lead to Python and Hydra force. Begin 30 second countdown for our attack," L'hopital says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"As the seconds tick down on their internal chronometers, the Defenders silently review their battle plan. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After 30 seconds, Captain L'hopital kicks the front doors of the building open. As he enters, he notices 6 infrared signatures that correspond to XANA's combat robots. Before they can begin raising their laser cannons, L'hopital rakes them with the bright blue beam of his finger mounted cutting lasers, instantly deactivating them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Viking team is in and has cleared the lobby," Captain L'hopital says into his microphone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"For the next hour, the 3 squads of Defenders engage in small skirmishes with an array of XANA's creatures and possessed Einstein and Einstein robots. After rendezvousing in the middle of the facility, they spread out and systematically sweep the facility to make sure that there is no trace of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Mother, this is Viking lead. Einstein and Einstein is clear," Captain L'hopital says after another hour./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Viking lead, this is Mother- I hear you loud and clear and am on my way," Colonel Weitzler says over the microphone. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"30 minutes later, L Squad, Colonel Weitzler, and 4 Defenders approach Einstein and Einstein. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I want 2 squads stationed here at all times to make sure this facility stays secure," Colonel Weitzler says to Captain L'hopital./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After L'hopital acknowledges, Colonel Weitzler and his entourage enter the building and head directly to the elevator./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""The Lyoko Replika is located in Aelita and I's personal lab," Jeremie says as he hits the -4 button. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After a short ride they emerge into the bottom floor of the building, where Jeremie leads them into his and Aelita's personal lab. Once inside the lab, Jeremie leads the group to a tall golden door. As he approaches the door he stops and pulls out a lone key./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Knowing XANA's affinity for picking electrical locks, I made this one mechanical so that if he ever returned, he would be unable to reach the supercomputer," Jeremie explains./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Right. Krooker, Flick, Watunda, and Hand, this room has not been swept yet. I want you on your toes and ready in case there is anything nasty inside," Colonel Weitzler orders as he and the other Defenders curl their hands into firing position./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Jeremie, it's all yours," Weitzler says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Jeremie gently knocks on the exact center of the door. As he knocks, a small panel flies open and he then inserts the key into it. As he turns the key, a seam forms in the middle of the door. As he removes the key, the door silently glides open as Jeremie steps to the side to give the Defenders a clear area to fire into./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Right, the front is clear. Krooker and Flick take the left. Watunda and Hand, take the right," Colonel Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"The 4 Defenders effortlessly glide into the room and sweep it for any hostiles. After 3 minutes, they call "clear,"./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Colonel Weitzler and the Lyoko Warriors enter the room. On their left, they see a gleaming blue and gold tower. Arranged against the leftmost wall are 3 glowing yellow columns, which have small, neatly arranged bundles of wires connecting them to the computer tower. On the right, a comfortable chair sits in front of an interface with 6 different monitors. Immediately to the right of the interface is a gleaming white holographic projector. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Odd would have loved to come down and return to Lyoko," Ulrich says glumly./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""We'd let Odd come down here every week to blow off some steam. He loved taking his overboard and doing skate tricks that were too dangerous for him to do in real life," Aelita responds looking at her feet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""With Odd gone we are going to need someone else to help us on Lyoko, and I think I know exactly who that person is," Weitzler says as he pulls out his phone./span/p
