We open to science class at Kadic to see the gang sitting down listening to the lesson.
"Now if you provoke a collision between two neutrons, what do you obtain? Does anyone know the answer?" Hertz asked.
As Herb went to raise his hand, everyone's cells inside of the classroom started ringing at the same time. Upon answering them, they were surprised to hear no one on the other ends of the calls.
"Sissi? Surely you as the principal's daughter, you know the policy about cellphones." Hertz asked.
"All cellphones must be shut off or put on vibrate under the threat of having them taken away." Sissi said.
"That's right. Everyone, as you head out the door, please put all of your cellphones on the counter!" Hertz said.
As the bell rang, the students surrendered their cellphones and left the classroom. As soon as the student group left, they ran into Yumi.
"Guys! The weirdest thing just happened. All of a sudden, our phones rang and-" Yumi said.
"And the teacher confiscated them. Us too." Kaminari said.
"But the weirdest part was that no one was on the other end." David said.
"That cannot just be a coincidence. I'll contact Aelita. I think this might involve XANA." Jeremie said.
"We have to do something about this." Hope said.
"Like what?" Usopp asked.
"Hey, you guys! I'm organizing a protest to get our mobiles back. Well, are you with us?" Sissi said approaching them.
"Oh yeah. We're in." Sachiko said.
"Really? Then meet us in the auditorium after lunch." Sissi said.
Meanwhile with Jeremie…
"Aelita, are you there?" Jeremie asked.
"What is it, Jeremie?" Aelita asked.
"Have you noticed anything on Lyoko?" Jeremie asked.
"No, I haven't." Aelita said. "Should I have?"
"It's all right. I'll run a full scan." Jeremie said. "I'll let you know what I detect."
"I'll go feel for pulsations." Aelita said.
"Just be careful." Jeremie said.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria…
"You're going to try and take your cellphone back? That's stealing." Yaoyorozu said.
"Taking back what belongs to you is not what I would call stealing. Besides, I'll have people watching my back." Odd said.
"Don't worry Momo, we'll be careful." Mark assured.
"That wasn't the…" Yaoyorozu said as they left. "Sigh."
As the two snuck around, they overheard Delmas speaking with Jim.
"The students were warned. I'm not going to return their phones so easily. We should deactivate the antenne too. That way with new phones, they can't use them. Jim. Can you manage that?"
"Yes, sir. Right away." Jim said.
The two continued to the classroom as Ulrich was on look out.
"Coast is clear." Ulrich said.
The two of them snuck inside as they picked the lock and located their missing cellphones, grabbing them before returning to the dorms.
"Mission accomplished." Odd said.
"You got very lucky." Yaoyorozu said. "Just hope no one finds out about this."
Kiwi then sniffled the phones and barked a bit.
"Aw c'mon Kiwi, it's perfectly safe." Hope said. "There aren't any activated towers, so what's the big-" Hope picked up Odd's phone before seeing XANA's insignia on the screen. "Nevermind!"
"They're on all these phones." Pit said. "But why would XANA care about mobile phones?"
"Not sure...but I should take a look at the school antennae to check it out." Jeremie said.
"I'm gonna go to the meeting. I promised Sissi." Sachiko said.
"Are you sure? I don't think Crusadermon would be okay with you being put at risk." David said.
"Don't worry. I'll go with her so she won't totally be alone." Yumi said.
At Chrysaila….
"You want to ask Orbeetle for his assistance?!" Levanny asked, herself and Pineco having heard Galvantula and Ariados's request.
"I know it sounds crazy, Miss Leavanny, but the Dimensional Heroes are incredibly strong. If Orbeetle were to help us, he'd turn the tide drastically." Ariados said.
"Orbeetle is wiser and more adept to battle than all of us. We need his wisdom here and now." Galvantula said.
"Fine." Leavanny said as they headed to an old building. Opening it up, it was a massive library with books flying all about with a ladybug like creature flying in the center. "Orbeetle!"
"Yes...what is it?" a voice echoed in their minds.
"We need your sage advice." Ariados said. "We're…"
"Facing the Hero Alliance, a group that comes from an alternative timeline and has replaced the solo Dimensional Heroes of this timeline." Orbeetle said.
"What? How did you…" Galvantula said.
"I spend all of my time learning and peering into nearby minds to acquire knowledge of the outside world. Such information does not slip my notice." Orbeetle said.
"Ah, so that explains why there were so many of them." Leavanny said. "What would be the best course of action then?"
"Hmm...tell me...I know the cell was empty. How many prisoners escaped?" Orbeetle asked.
"Just one prisoner." Galvantula said.
"I see. Hmm. Assemble Scolipede and his Poison Strike Force. Send them not after the prisoner...but into the school grounds near the forest." Orbeetle said. "If we send them after the prisoner, this would result in all of them attacking his forces. But by attacking on school grounds, they'll prioritize evacuation over battle."
"I see. We'll send them off immediately." Leavanny said.
Meanwhile on the roof of the school…
"What the? What do you think you're doing? Stopping me from disconnecting the antennae?" Jim said.
"Us? Never." Ulrich said.
"Well too bad cause…" Jim said as he touched the antennae only to be met with a powerful electrical shock that sent him back.
"We'll...get him to the infirmary." Jesse said carrying him off.
"Hmm...let's see what's going on here." Jeremie said checking the antennae's signal before it transferred to a far off building.
"That's the main television antenna, isn't it?" Hope asked.
"Yeah. Just what is XANA up to?" Yaoyorozu said.
"Can't be anything good." Hope said.
Meanwhile in the auditorium, several students signed a petition to allow cellphone use again.
"Well well, Miss Sachiko and Miss Yumi have decided to grace us with their presence." Sissi said.
It was then that Principal Delmas had arrived with some of the faculty.
"Elizabeth! What is going on here?!" Delmas asked.
"Daddy, I mean sir! What is going on is this! The students have spoken and want their cellphones back." Sissi said.
"Sorry, but the students are not the ones to make the rules. I'm sorry, but this step is another reason for not returning them to you." Delmas said.
The two girls noticed Jeremie waving to them from the window.
"Also, a student had the nerve to steal back their own from Ms. Hertz's locker. Were investigating who could've done such a thing." Delmas said as the two exited the room.
"Then we won't set foot in class until we get our phones back!" Sissi said.
In Jeremie's Room…
"XANA is using the school's antenna to get to the main television antenna." Jeremie said.
"And that's why our phones rang?" Eijiro asked.
"Yes. It jams their frequencies. If XANA uses the dish, he will have access to the satellites orbiting the world. One of them being a military satellite with a built-in laser. In other words…" Jeremie said.
"He'll have a weapon that can fire at us anytime and anywhere." Terra said.
"There's been an activated tower as well as reports of Chrysalia mobilizing. They're heading towards the school." Miu said.
"Of course they are." Ibuki said. "Looks like we'll have another full day today."
The group then left for the factory, leaving Kiwi behind. However, being the smart dog he was, Kiwi was able to leap up to the doorknob, turning it and following after them on his small little legs and find his way out. Just as the group was about to seperate, they came across the protest that Sissi was leading.
"No more phones, no more school. Perfect." Sissi said as she got the rest of her protest to chant it.
"I'll stay here in case Chrysalia tries to attack." Sachiko said.
"I better stay with her." Yumi said.
"Hey, you two! Are you in or not?" Sissi shouted.
"Of course we're in. No more phones, no more school!" Yumi chanted.
"Good, good. Keep it up." Sissi said.
"Alright, let's head to the factory and stop XANA." Hope said.
Discovering they were being accompanied by Kiwi on the way, the group arrived at the factory.
"Okay...according to the computer, the tower's located in the ice sector." Jeremie said. "You all better get down there."
"We're on it." Hope said. "Okay, who's going with Ulrich and Odd?"
"Well, it's in the ice sector, so... David, how about you go?" Mark suggested.
"Sure, why not?" David asked.
"Okay. Here goes. Transfer, Ulrich! Transfer, Odd! Transfer, David! Scanner, Ulrich! Scanner, Odd! Scanner, David! Virtualization!" Jeremie said sending the three right on into Lyoko. "Good news. XANA still hasn't gotten to the TV dish. That gives us a little time."
"Wonder what satellite he's after?" Hope asked.
"He's after something up in space…" Ibuki said.
"Uh...I think this was explained earlier...he wants that military satellite." Sero said.
"The satellite is extremely accurate as a weapon and it's about to be in orbit above us." Jeremie said.
"He wouldn't aim for the factory. He'd destroy himself in the process." Pit said.
"Only other option is...the school!" Leia realized.
"We can't warn her without a mobile." Jeremie said.
"Oh but we can. See...we have a carrier pigeon." Dan said holding Kiwi.
"Well, carrier dog...but he should still do the job." Frisk said writing a note.
Back at Kadic…..
"No more phones, No more school! No more phones, No more school!" the students chanted repeatedly. While they were protesting to Delmas, an army of Venipede and Whirlipede were hiding in the cover of the forest nearby.
"Commander Scolipede, we are in position. Do we attack now?" a Whirlipede asked.
"Yeah...unleash a Poison Sting barrage at the kids." Scolipede said. "That should draw them out."
"But is this really right? Firing at a bunch of school kids?" another Whirlipede asked.
"I don't like it anymore than you do. But Orbeetle's strategies have never been wrong before." Scolipede said.
"Right. We'll prepare for...wait...something feels off." Venipede said. "A sense of danger in the air."
"I demand that all of you stop at once!" Delmas said coming out.
It was at that moment that Yumi and Sachiko were approached by Kiwi.
"What the? You two...my office now!" Delmas said grabbing them both.
"The oppressors have Yumi and Sachiko!" Sissi said as the protesters roared in disgust as the two were brought into his office.
"Civil disobedience, this dog at our school. This isn't like you two." Delmas said.
Yumi soon took the note from Kiwi's collar and looked at it in shock. "Sorry but we need to go. And you probably should too." Yumi said passing it off to Sachiko.
"She's right, sir. Everyone in the school has to leave immediately." Sachiko said. The two then headed for the door. The two of them soon met back with the protest.
"He let you go?" Sissi asked.
"No, we escaped. In fact...we should increase the strength of our movement by rallying the other schools!" Sachiko said. "I mean, for all we know, this could be affecting them as well."
"Yes. And we should start by going to the farthest school in the city...maybe even the country." Yumi said.
Sissi pondered this before turning to the protesters. "Everyone! Let's go! We need the other schools on our side!" Sissi shouted as they agreed with her.
"Sir, they're gonna be out of range!" Whirlipede said.
"Shut it. The danger...can you still sense it?" Scolipede asked the Venipede.
"Yes and it keeps growing larger." Venipede said.
Meanwhile back at the factory, the group inside continued towards the tower as Odd just got devirtualized.
"Oh. Not good! XANA has the satellite! And the target is...oh no. Yumi!" Jeremie said.
"Don't worry...I'll go and warn her." Odd said.
"Oh no… Sachiko is there too. Chrysalia might attack her!" Crusadermon said as she left as well.
Back at the school…
"None of you are leaving these grounds." Delmas said standing at the gate.
"Sir, you have to let us leave." Yumi said.
"I've heard enough. Yumi, Sachiko, you two are suspended. I want you and that dog off campus now. Everyone else! Return to your classes! This protest is over." Delmas said.
Sachiko sensed a needle coming right at her before she blocked.
"You idiot, why did you do that?" Scolipede shouted at the Whirlipede.
"But...they're the enemy." Whirlipede said.
"When danger is in the air, you don't just fire recklessly and without orders." Scolipede said.
It was then that Odd arrived on campus.
"Yumi! Sachiko! It's you the satellite's after!" Odd shouted.
As the three ran, the satellite fired. After it hit, it left a large crater in the ground but the two were untouched. They then began to run away from the blasts as the students evacuated.
"See? There was a present danger. An unseen aerial attack." Scolipede said. "This is a good thing to...wait, are they coming our way? Oh my god, scatter!"
The soldiers were quickly scattering as the satellite fired near them.
"Bug kingdom forces?" Sachiko said.
"Okay, we get it. Attacking your school was a mistake. Just call off your aerial attack." Scolipede said.
"I can't. I'm not the one doing it." Sachiko said. "(Oh, what should I do? The satellite's gonna keep going for me, and there are still all of these soldiers surrounding me. Can I really handle all of this alone?)"
"This is it. We're going to die here." a Venipede said.
"(Someone…)" Sachiko thought.
"Sachiko!" a familiar voice rang out.
Sachiko gasped. "That voice!"
Flying towards the army and Sachiko at high speed was Crusadermon.
"Crusadermon! I'm so glad you're here. I'm so sorry for worrying you." Sachiko said.
"It's alright. I'm just glad I made it in time." Crusadermon said.
"We need to get all of these people out of here." Sachiko turned to the Chrysalia forces. "Can I trust you all to help out? I know it seems like a weird request, but if you really intended to hurt the people at the protest, you probably would've done that already while Principal Delmas was holding us up."
"One of my soldiers sensed the incoming danger and we halted. We were only going to fire once it passed." Scolipede said. "Well...those who follow orders anyway." he said glaring at a Whirlipede.
"How many times do I have to say my bad?" Whirlipede asked.
"Don't worry about it. Could've been me if I wasn't so focused on the rally." Sachiko said.
"Look, we know it looks bad, but cooperation is required right now if we all are to escape alive." Scolipede said.
"I agree. We need to get everyone out of here." Sachiko said.
They then started spreading all about the area helping anyone still trapped on the school grounds before they saw Yumi had tripped onto the ground as the satellite fired once more.
"Yumi!" Sachiko went to tackle her out of the way.
"No!" Crusadermon shouted as she went to shield them. Just as the laser was about to hit though, it seemed to suddenly stop in midair. "Whew… Is everyone alright?"
"Yup. We're all good here." Sachiko said.
"They...they must have deactivated the tower." Yumi said sighing in relief.
"Yeah. So...now that the danger has passed…" Scolipede said. "All troops. We're going to...wait...what...what is that?" he said seeing a dome of light approaching the school.
"You're a little late. Should've attacked when you had the chance." Sachiko said.
"Ah damn it!" Scolipede shouted as they were engulfed in the light. The day soon restarted in the school cafeteria as the school group were putting a poster in one of the windows.
"What's that? An invite to a party?" Sissi asked.
"Not quite." David said.
"All students must have their cellphones turned off or else they will be confiscated." she read. "What?! I don't believe this! Talk about teacher's pets. I'd like to see anyone take my phone." she said marching off.
"It was a close call before…I can't believe the Chrysailians would even dare to attack civilians." Hope said.
"Not quite, they didn't seem willing to go through with it. Someone was directing them. Probably someone you haven't encountered before." Sachiko said.
"It's clear that we have to end this before whoever ordered that attack does worse." Hope said. "We have to attack Crysalia and stop them, and we need to do it soon." he said before David karate chopped his head.
"*sigh* This is exactly what I was talking about. If we just rush in, we'll play right into their hands." David said.
"Plus we're talking about a kingdom...that flies in the sky. We have no way of getting up there." Pit said.
"Seriously, Hope. At least have some sense of reason, would you?" David asked. "We'll launch an attack in about a week. That should be enough time to make preparations."
"For now, we'll just continue as usual." Izuku said.
Back in Chrysalia…
"My sincerest apologies, Master Orbeetle. My hesitance placed your plan and our kingdom in peril." Scolipede said.
"It's fine. To be honest, I kind of figured that would happen." Orbeetle said. "We may be warriors, but we are not monsters."
"Er… Technically us Pokémon are monsters, but… I get your point." Scolipede said. "So...about the next attack?"
"Hmm. Hold off for a bit...then I predict Leavanny will try and take charge himself." Orbeetle said.
"Hold off. Why?" Scolipede asked.
"There is someone else who will strike. I can sense their ill intent. It's a broken heart that aches from loss and love." Orbeetle said. "Perhaps they will finish them."
