p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Thanks to you I survived that encounter with those robotic spiders," Gauthier replies as she gives her old commander a hug./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I was a little surprised to hear that you specifically wanted me for this special project. As you know, after that encounter with the spiders I was placed on the disabled list," Gauthier continues./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I know, but I have a special opportunity for you," Weitzler responds as he guides her towards a chair./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Once Gauthier is seated, Colonel Weitzler explains to her about Lyoko and his plans to use it to fight XANA./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Sign me up! I've always had a grudge against XANA after he took being a Defender away from me. When do we begin?" Gauthier says enthusiastically./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""If you're ready, our first mission begins in 30 minutes," Colonel Weitzler replies as he slowly and stiffly stands up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I see that you have the Defender syndrome," Gauthier observes as she also stands up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I'm afraid that I do," Colonel Weitlzer responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"_/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Ok Gauthier, I'm going to materialize you directly to Sector 5. Colonel Weitzler, Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita are waiting for you," Jeremie calls from the interface./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Gauthier, slowly steps into the golden scanner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I'm ready," Gauthier responds./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Right, Transfer Gauthier," Jeremie says as the scanner door closes./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"_/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"In the rotunda, Colonel Weitzler and the Lyoko warriors are standing in their old costumes, waiting for Gauthier to arrive./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I can't believe we still have the same avatars that we did when we were kids," Yumi says, reflecting on the fact that she still has a teenager's body./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"As they revel in being 20 years younger,, a white scaffold forms in the air. After a few seconds, the scaffold fills in, and Gauthier drops down to the floor in a low crouch. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Standing before them is a young, tan woman in a bright blue parka. Arrayed around her waist are 3 jet black tubes, and hanging on her neck is a little charm in the shape of a cobra. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I look like Katara from Avatar," Gauthier remarks as she looks at her costume./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""If you look like her, I bet you fight like her," Colonel Weitzler comments./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""If everyone's ready it's time to move out," Jeremie's voice says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"With that the assembled group starts running to the Skidbladnir's docking complex, which looks exactly the same as it did in the original Lyoko./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""That ship looks magnificent, how do we board it?" Gauthier asks, staring in awe at the Skidbladnir./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Follow us," Weitzler calls as he and the other warriors step onto the blue and white circles that will transport them to the Skid./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Beams of light surround each of them and a few seconds later their characters materialize into the Skid. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Once everyone is inside, Aelita expertly pilots the Skid out of the hangar and into the digital sea.

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Jeremie, I have visual contact with the Replika," Aelita calls as she stares at the bright blue ball right in front of her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Continue towards it. I do not see any of XANA's creatures on my screen," Jeremie replies./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""This is unusual. XANA normally greets us when we reach one of his Replikas," Ulrich responds sceptically./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""I'm sensing a trap. Everyone, stay on your toes," Colonel Weitzler says as he readies himself for combat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"_/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Surprisingly, XANA allows them to enter the Replika without any harassment. As the Skidbladnir emerges from the digital sea, they see the forest sector standing in front of them./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Yeah, we've got a special score to settle with XANA," Ulrich says, his voice tinged with just a hint of anger./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"3 balls of yellow energy form, and a few seconds later the materialized forms of Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita pop out in a lush jungle.

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Jeremie, where are we?" Ulrich calls as he surveys the facility./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""It looks like you were materialized on a mountain overlooking Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The supercomputer should be directly in front of you," Jeremie calls. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"With that the 3 Lyoko warriors start running towards the warehouse./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Back on the Replika, Colonel Weitzler stands guard on the Skid as Colonel Gauther practices using the water inside the 3 cylinders on her waist as a weapon. As she practices, she uses fluid, tai chi like maneuvers to send jets of water and icicles flying at fake enemies. She also practices creating walls of ice. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""So it looks like this supercomputer is based in Rio de Janeiro," Jeremie realys to Colonel Weitzler. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Right, Jeremie, could you please have Hand tell General Van Hanten that XANA has a facility in Rio de Janeiro and that I recommend he put the garrison there on high alert," Colonel Weitzler says as he watches Gauthier practice./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Done. Be advised, it looks like you have company," Jeremie calls. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Coming down the path in front of them, Weitzler can see a squad of 4 Tarantulas with a mass of black smoke following behind them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Gauthier, you take the Tarantulas. I will deal with William," Colonel Weitzler orders./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Yes sir," Gauther calls as she moves into a ready position./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"As Ulrich, Aelita, and Yumi approach the low lying grey building they find that it is unguarded. As they reach the door, Aelita breaks into an angelic song, and after 30 seconds of this, the door unlocks and pops open. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""OK, it looks like the supercomputer is down the hall and to the right. Remember, you want to get information off it before you destroy it," Jeremie says./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Right, Yumi, why don't you come with me to the supercomputer room. Ulrich, take a look around and see what you can find," Aelita says/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Also, you better hurry; William and a squad of Tarantulas just showed up on the Replika," Jeremie says./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After going down the hallway and taking a right, Yumi and Aelita enter a room that is filled with racks of computer equipment with wires going all over the place. In the center of the room is an interface with the eye of XANA brightly illuminated on it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""This is too easy," Aelita says as she settles down in front of the interface and begins to search it for information./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Weitzler immediately shoves out his left hand and focuses, causing William to go flying away from him.
