This chapter will be based on the episode Missing Link with one major change to the plot of the episode. Enjoy!
The group was in the factory getting ready for a trip to sector five. "Jeremy have you made any headway on the anti-virus lately?" Aelita asked. "Well.. Actually it's going kind of slow. I am missing a lot of important codes." Jeremy answered. "But with a little luck we will find them today." Odd said "And then its bye Xana." Ulrich added. "I am going to transfer you now." Jeremy said virtualizing Odd,Ulrich and Aelita first then Yumi. "Now head for the edge of the sector, Okay?" Jeremy said but before they could even move Xana sent a group of monsters to intercept them. "Careful you have visitors." Jeremy said noting the monsters. Three kankrelats walked down the main path towards them. "I am going to give them a little Odd acupuncture." Odd said aiming at one. "Take cover Aelita" Ulrich sad causing Aelita to run away from the action. As Yumi,Odd and Ulrich fought the kankrelats Xana created more in an attempt to separate off Ulrich or Odd from the ground. ""More kankrelats are five o clock" Jeremy said warning them as they continued to fight. "Pretty interesting welcoming committee." Odd said. "What do you expect Xana hates it when we go fishing in Sector Five." Jeremy said. Odd ran after a kankrelat that was trying to get away. Just then the Scyphozoa appeared behind Odd and picked him up. "Oh no! The Scyphozoa!" Jeremy yelled causing Yumi and Ulrich to turn around and see Odd in its tentacles. Ulrich quickly ran and cut its tentacles causing it to drop Odd. "Odd you okay?" Ulirch asked. "I don't know." Odd said rubbing his head sitting up. "Well at least it scared of the kankrelats" Odd said smiling. "Why would it go after you? We will abort the mission." Jeremy said. "Materialization Odd, Materialization Yumi, Materialization Aelita." Jeremy said as he devirualized them. In the scanner room Yumi and Aelita stepped out of the scanners and the scanner Odd should have been in opened revealing it was empty. "Jeremy Odds not here." Yumi said slightly worried. "Jeremy whats going on? Is there a problem?" Odd said tapping his foot on lyoko. "Ah No. I must have made a mistake. I will reboot the program." Jeremy replied relaunching it. "Materialization Ulrich, Materialization Odd" he said trying again very nervous. Ulrich stepped out of the scanner just as Odd's opened again. "Jeremy still nothing." Yumi said. "I can't believe it. Odd I can devirtualize you." Jeremy told Odd. 'What?!" Odd yelled. "Go and hide in a tower while I figure this out. Directions south south east." Jeremy said giving him directions. "Don't worry I will find the bug. Your safe in the tower." Jeremy told Odd. "I am going to miss lunch and Kiwi needs to go out." Odd said annoyed he wouldn't get to eat lunch. "Odd you can eat later and I am sure Ulrich can take care of Kiwi. Right Ulrich?" Jeremy said. "Yea Fine." Ulrich replied.
Later that day, Jeremy and Aelita were trying to fix the bug. "In my opinion, when the Scyphozoa attacked you it gave you some kind of bug Odd." Jeremy said. "Maybe it stole some of my memory. Jokes on him it's not very good." Odd said laughing abit. "That's strange it's my memory the the Scyphozoa seems to be after." Aelita said giggling abit at Odd's joke. "If you ask me the Scyphozoa took something else from you. Stand still. I am launching a digital analysis." Jeremy said launching a program to inspect Odd. On lyoko Odd floated up of the platform a bit and a ring of blue light travels up and down his body generating reports. On the screen in the lab the program found a missing part of his virtual codes. "On no! I don't believe it. The Scyphozoa stole the sequence code for your human DNA." Jeremy said. "Einstein whats that?" Odd asked. "Well, when your virtualized you keep your DNA sequence code. You can't do without it. It defines your molecular structure... " Jeremy explained. "Jeremy in english please!" Odd yelled. "Well to put it simply. No DNA sequence code no way to get back to earth." Jeremy stated. "Oh no." Odd said a bit freaked out. "Jeremy you have to find a solution. I can't go without eating and Kiwi. My life is on earth. " Odd said. "Don't panic Odd I will do everything I can." Jeremy replied typing away. "What if..." Aelita started to say. "You have an idea?" Jeremy asked her. "Just trust me this time." She said. "Okay. I will bring you up close to the tower." He told her setting up the virtualization. On lyoko Aelita ran to the tower and walked inside and began to work on the terminal. "Aelita please tell me what your up to." Jeremy said. "There. Process launched." Aelita said. "Aelita? What process?" Odd asked. "The process of transferring my DNA Sequence code to your digital structure." She replied."What?! Are you crazy?" Jeremy asked. "Jeremy Odd's place is on earth. If anyone should have to go until we find a solution its me." She said. "I don't agree with that. Stop it." Jermey replied just before Aelita just off the communication to the tower. "I knew he was going to say that." Aelita said. "Aelita your making a big sacrifice you know that?" Odd said "Call it whatever you want to." She replied before beginning the transfer.
On earth Jeremy was very worried. "Aelita.. I can't believe this." Jeremy said just as a window for the transfer popped up. "I don't even know how that kind of transfer works." Jeremy said being to research it before discovering that it will make her memory wide open for Xana to steal. "Oh no this is unbelievable!" He said shocked.
In the hidden area of Sector Five Josh created a copy of Odd's DNA Sequence code and began to edit it to create his human form. Xana on the other hand was waiting patiently for Aelita's memory to become available. "Father. I have my new DNA Sequence code ready." Josh said smiling. "Okay. Give it to me. I will have to use the Scyphozoa to implant it into you due to your program no longer being under my control." Xana stated as Josh transferred the data to him. "I am ready." Josh said standing still. Xana commanded the Scyphozoa to pick up Josh and implant the new DNA sequence code into him, shortly after the Scyphozoa let him go. Instead of just standing up Josh fell the ground like a stone. "Josh?" Xana said worried that he had just destroyed his creation. Slowly Josh sat up holding his head. "Let's never do that again." He said shaking his head. "Don't worry there should be no other modification that have to be done." Xana stated. "You are now ready to go to earth without a tower. But firstly you need to understand the limitations of being devirtualized. You will still have my codes within you allowing you to control electrical devices you are touching, maybe even use them to augment your abilities. This requires energy to do of course. But as long as the super computer remains on you will not drain the energy that will be stabilizing your form. If you deplete your energy I am not sure what will happen. Logically you should disintegrate but seeing as nothing like you has ever existed the results are unknown." Xana added. "Okay. So your going to devirtualize me then? So I can spy on the warriors?" Josh asked. "Yes. Everything is set up for your enrollment at kadic.." Xana said readying the devirtualization program. "Okay. I am ready whenever you are." Josh replied. "Okay. When you get to Kadic make sure to get in contact to receive further instructions." Xana said devirtualizing him..
Back in the lab a new window popped up showing Josh devirtualizing. "Oh No! What now?" Jeremy said noticing it not thinking to check the cameras because he was too focused on the task at hand. He called up Ulrich and Yumi to ask them to head to the factory. In the scanner room a scanner opened revealing Josh who was roughly the same height as Odd with light brown high. His eyes were dark blue and a slight hint of the eye of Xana visible. He was wearing a black shirt, a green jacket and brown pants. He grabbed ahold of the side of the scanner trying not to fall down. After a short while he walked to the elevator and called it down before taking it up to the factory floor.
Yumi and Ulrich were making there way to the factory running down the sewers. When they made it to the factory Josh was still walking around the main floor. As soon as Josh noticed them he ran to hide. Ulrich noticed someone run. "Who's there?" Ulrich yelled starting to go after Josh. "Ulrich forget about them. Aelita's in danger." Yumi said grabbing his shoulder. Yumi and Ulrich ran to the elevator and took it down to the lab. "So Jeremy what's the big problem?" Ulrich asked. "Well, Aelita decided to transfer her DNA Sequence code to Odd. But she didn't realize that when she is doing that her memory will be open for Xana to steal." Jeremy said. "Did you tell her?" Yumi asked. "I tried but she cut off communication with the tower. Head down to the scanners." Jeremy said starting the virtualization process. Yumi and Ulrich headed down to the scanners and stepped inside. "Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich, Transfer Yumi, Transfer Ulrich, Virtualization" Jeremy said running the process. "You should be able to spot the tower for your position. Here are your vehicles.." Jeremy said. Yumi and Ulrich got on their vehicles and headed for the tower.
Inside the tower the transfer was continuing. "Just a few more minutes and the transfer will complete." Aelita said. Just then Yumi and Ulrich ran into the tower. "AELITA STOP. If the transfer completes Xana will have full access to your memories!" He yelled causing Aelita to quickly cancel the transfer and re-activated the communication. "I have an idea. Xana stole Odd's DNA sequence Code so that must mean it's in his memory. And where do we go to access Xana's memory?" Jeremy asked. "Sector Five!" Everyone in the tower said happily. "Head to the edge of the sector and I will bring up the transporter." Jeremy ran to the edge of the sector as quickly as possible. "Okay I am entering the code." Jeremy said calling up the transport to take them to Sector Five. "I am glad I didn't eat breakfast." Odd aid holding his stomach. "Oh Odd I should warn you until you have your DNA Sequence Code your just as vulnerable as Aelita." Jermery stated. "Good to know." Odd said. "I guess I can't be as friendly with the creepers today." He added jokingly. "Odd this isn't something to joke around about." Yumi said as the corridor opened. "You have three minutes to find the key." Jeremy said attempting to locate it on his end. They began to run down the corridor looking for the key. "Where can it be.." Yumi murmured while on Jeremy's screen it displayed one minute left. "I have located the mechanism at the end of the corridor. Hurray up." Jeremy said. "Yes, I see it over there." Aelita said pointing across the room. "Looks like a trap to me." Odd replied. Ulrich started to run towards the key causing large pillars to descend towards the floor. "Ulrich watch out!" Yumi yelled causing him to look up and notice the pillar rolling sideways out of the way. "The ceiling is trapped!" Yumi yelled and Ulrich nodded in reply. "Supersprint." He said barely out running the lowering pillars. He managed to press the key as he was being devirtualized by the very last pillar. "Ulrich are you okay?" Jeremy asked after he was devirtualized. "well.." Ulrich said falling down passing out. In Sector Five Yumi, Odd and Aelita continued on to the elevator then to the Celestial Dome. "Aelita, Do you know where to find Odd's DNA Sequence Code?" Jeremy asked. "Not really. But I will find it somehow." Aelita replied. "A flying mantas nest is about to hatch" Yumi said looking off into the distance. "Odd stay back." She added. Aelita continued looking as quickly as she could. As she was looking the manta nest hatched and the fly manta flew towards them. The mantas began firing at both Odd and Yumi causing Yumi to deflect the lasers away from Odd. "Hows it going Aelita?" Jeremy asked getting worried. "Nothing yet." She replied still searching through the mountains of data was accessible. While Aelita was searching Odd was helping Yumi deal with the mantas. "Odd he careful." Yumi yelled at him when she had to stop a laser that was heading right for him. "That's it! I have got it. I am sending it to you now Jeremy." Aelita said sending him Odd's missing DNA Sequence code and closing out the terminal to give Jeremy back control. "Odd, I have got it. I will download it back to you in a second." Jeremy said frantically typing away. "I am going to be really happy to eat dinner tonight" Odd said getting cut off before he could finish saying dinner as a manta shot and devirtualized him. "Odd! No…" Yumi yelled seeing her friend possibly just get killed for go infront of her. "Jeremy did you have time to reinsert his code?" Aelita asked. "I sure hope so. You two better get out of there." Jeremy said beginning to bring up the overwing for Yumi and Aelita to use. "The north tunnel, its open." Jeremy added directing them to the way out. Once they exited Sector Five Jeremy devirtualized Urlich and Aelita.
In the scanner room Odd was passed out on the floor. "Odd? Say something?" Yumi said a bit worried. "Yumi don't worry he's just out cold. He will be fine." Aelita told her seeing Odd move a bit. "Ulrich how are you doing?" Jeremy asked. "Could be better.." Ulrich said plainly getting up. After about half an hour the group made their way back to campus.
During this time that they were still at the lab Josh had made his way out of the factory and to Kadic's campus. He walked to the principal's office to get himself enrolled in classes thanks to the fake records inserted earlier into the network by Xana. "Hello?" Mr. Delmas asked noticing him walk in. "Hello, My names Josh Anderson." Josh said laughing a bit to himself about Xana's choice of last name for him. "I want to enroll in classes here at Kadic." Josh added. "Okay." Mr. Delmas said looking at his computer. "All your documents seem to be in order. Here's a key to your door room. Later today, Mr. Morales will bring you your class schedule." Mr. Delmas said handing Josh a key with his room number on it. "Thank you." Josh said walking out grinning as he walked through the commons to the dorms.
The warriors were gathered around the vending machines. "I have some terrible news. That person Xana created was devirtualized shortly before Yumi and Ulrich got the the lab today." Jeremy said. Aelita looked up abit scared. "So we all better be on the lookout for anything weird." Jeremy added. "I bet that's who I saw in the factory on our way in." Ulrich responded. "I didn't get a good look at him because he started running." He added. "Either way it is time for dinner," Odd said walking to the cafeteria with the others following.
Josh went to his dorm and found that there was already a computer in the room. "Father must have included this in the documents he forged." Josh said to himself turning it on and setting up a program to connect to the supercomputer. Once he completed the set he initialized the link and it began working on localizing Lyoko before if finally connected. "Father?" Josh spoke hoping for a reply. A window showing the room in Sector Five popped up and displayed Xana. Still a glowing red orb. "Good. You did as you were told. Now you should begin trying to befriend the warriors to gain their trust. Also because you are human you will unfortunately have to do everything needed to sustain a human body." Xana said in reply. "Okay. Then I should head to the cafeteria for dinner." Josh said closing the connection and walking to the cafeteria. He walked to the serving line and got some food before looking to try and see the warriors. Upon seeing them he walked over and asked "Can I sit with you guys?" The group looked at each other before they decided that it couldn't hurt letting someone sit by then for a day. "Sure." Aelita said smiling. "I am Aelita. What's your name." She asked. "My names Josh." He said. "What's your friends names?" He asked. Aelita pointed around introducing her friends. "He's Jeremy, that's Odd, and Ulrich. I have another friend named Yumi but she doesn't live on campus." Aelita said. "Hello" Josh said to them trying his best to not seem suspicious. After dinner Joah said goodbye to the warriors and headed to his room happy that he had begun his mission successfully.
I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. It took a while to write because of college classes starting up again.
