After a successful mission on Lyoko Jeremy was devirtualizing everyone. First he devirtualized Ulrich,Yumi and Aelita. Then he began to devirtualize Odd and Josh. As the scanners opened Josh looked up and saw himself standing in the scanner across from him. "Jeremy, we have a problem." Josh and Odd said at the same time.
(AN: From here till the end every time it says Odd its Odd in Josh's body and when it says Josh its Josh in Odd's body)
Moments later in the lab Jeremy was explaining the problem. On the screen was a window with an image of Josh and Odd's faces with arrows and slight DNA twists pointing towards another image of both. The window then began to flash red Xs over the top of the images on the right. "Well?" Odd asked while Josh looked at the window trying to think about the issue. "I guess there's a little bug in the re-materialization program." Jeremy said. "Hm Very interesting. I wonder if it has to do with how closely my digital DNA sequence matches Odd's" Josh said. "What if we went back to lyoko and devirtualized all over again? Maybe everything will go back to normal." Odd asked. "And what if the program messes up again and yous have no bodys at all this time?" Jeremy said running a simulation on the screen. "Okay.. Bad idea." Odd stated. "Uh Okay? Then what do we do then?" Ulrich asked. "Got to fix the program." Jeremy stated. "How long will it take you? A couple hours at most?" Odd asked. "If I work tomorrow night it might be ready by tomorrow morning." Jeremy stated. "Just head back to the dorms for now. I will be helping Jeremy." Aelita said, smiling a bit. "I will stay and help too. I think I know what caused it but I am not sure how to fix it." Josh said. As the others left Josh in Odd's body began to explain the issue to Jeremy and Aelita. "I believe the issue is that my DNA sequence code is almost a direct copy of Odd's. And an error allowed the program to easily mistake the two for each other.." Josh stated. "That makes sense by why did it only just now occur." Aelita said. "I should have occurred all along unless this is a new bug." She added. "I can answer that one." Jeremy said. "This is the first time Odd and Josh have been devirtualized at the same time. So it's the first time the program had access to both of their DNA Sequence codes at the same time." He added. "Josh go get some rest. Aelita and I can figure it out." Jeremy said seeing Josh looking tired. "Okay." Josh said, waving before leaving.
Josh walked back to the dorms and to Odd's and Urlich's room. He was just about to walk in when a girl named Magali walked up angry. "ODD!" She yelled. "What?" Josh asked, confused. "I know all about Claire. You are so…despicable!" She said slapping him hard before walking away. Just when Josh thought it was over Claire walked up. "ODD! I know all about Magali. You sneaky rat!" She yelled, slapping him. Josh gasped in pain before walking into the dorm room. "Ulrich what the heck did Odd get involved in. I just got slapped twice." Josh said rubbing his face right before Kiwi jumped up on his lap. "He was going out with both at the same time." Ulrich said, sighing. "He's sort of crazy isn't he." Josh said laughing a bit before his hands began to turn fuzzy as they were destabilizing. "Well that can't be good." Josh murmured. "You can tell Jeremy in the morning." Ulrich said, having also noticed.
In the morning the group met up outside the dorms. "It only lasted a few seconds but my hand began to destabilize." Josh said. "Strange. I will be alot happier when both of you are back in your own bodies." Jeremy said "I fixed the program, we just need to restart it from lyoko." He added. "Great!" Odd said. "We will go to the factory at launch time." Jeremy said. "Okay. Jeremy want me to look over the fix later before the mission to restart it?" Josh said. "Sure, but I am confident Aelita and I fixed the issue." Jeremy replied. "Okay. Well its time to class." Josh said walking to class with them. Meanwhile during the class both Odd and Josh's hands began to destabilize. "Uh oh." Odd said raising his hand. "I don't feel good. May I go to the infirmary?" Odd asked the teacher said "okay.", the other said they would go with him.
On the way to the sewer entrance the group was talking. "So Jeremy what do you think the problem is?" Aelita asked. "Well Odd and Josh were materialized into bodys that were not their own, sort of like Josh is when the supercomputer isn't stabilizing him. Because of this they aren't stable." Jeremy said. "And?" Ulrich asked. "If we don't take care of the problem right away they will disintegrate. " Jeremy replied, going down the sewer. "Jeremy Yumi's stuck in class the teacher won't let her leave." Ulrich said, hanging up his phone. "Will have to go without her." Jeremy said. (A.N. I couldn't think of a good way to convert the original story line to having Yumi there as well.)
"Everyone head to the scanners, Aelita, and Ulrich you go first then I will scan Odd and Josh. Your heading to a way tower due north from where you archive, Aelita will reboot the program from there. And this nightmare will be over." Jeremy said, beginning the virtualization for Aelita, and Ulrich. Once the three were virtualized Jeremy began to virtualize Odd and Josh. "Okay Scanner Odd or Josh or Odd? Oh whatever. Scanner Transfer Virtualization!"Jeremy said typing.
On lyoko the group began to run towards the tower. "Hurry up, Xana might want to send a welcoming committee." Jeremy said. Once they reached the tower Aeltia approached it. "I will be right back." She said before entering it. Shortly after Odd and Josh's virtual forms began to phase in and out of existence. "Jeremy! What is going on." Josh yelled. "The supercomputer is confusing you and Odd for corrupted files." Jeremy said worried. A group of Kankralotes began to approach. "Jeremy thanks for the heads up" Odd yelled after a laser when past his head. "What every happens Odd and Josh can't be de-virtualized. Otherwise its bye bye for good." Jeremy stated.
Odd held up his hand and aimed before going the motions for his laser arrows but nothing happened. "Oh no... " Odd gasped. "You two stay behind me." Ulrich said deflecting a laser away.
Meanwhile in the tower Aelita was running into issues. "Ah Jeremy We have got a big problem here." She said her eyes wide. "I can't do anything from here. The program is being ran by inhibitors." She added. "We have to deactivate them. I will try and find them." Jeremy replied.
"Odd how do i use your laser arrows?" Josh said, trying to aim at the kankralots. "You just think about it and it sort of just happens." Odd said. "How do I get your sword?" He asked. "Just think about holding a big sword." Josh replied as he accidentally fired a laser arrow that flew past Odd's head. Meanwhile Ulrich had taken out the rest of the Kankralots just as Aelita ran out of the tower. "Hurry! We have to get to Sector Five." Aelita said. "Huh But what for?" Odd asked. "I will explain on the way. I am bringing up your vehicles." Jeremy said.
As they were driving to the edge of the sector. "Are you sure we have to go to sector five?" Odd asked. "We don't have time for me to crack the millions of codes for me to find those inhibitors. Remember if you don't get back into your own body quickly the super computer will delete you two.." Jeremy said. "See as how you handle those laser arrows Josh you might just kill Odd first." Ulrich said chuckling. "I am ending the code SCIPO." Jeremy said just as a mega tank rolled up to them. Urlich without thinking jumped towards it while it was firing to destroy it getting devirtualized. Just after he was devirtualized the transporter picked up Aelita,Odd, and Josh.
A scanner opened and Urlich hit the side with his fist. "How could I have been so dumb." He said mad at himself.
In Sector Five the group was standing waiting for the corridor to open. "Ah I feel sick." Josh said, sort of uneasy on his feet. "Oh yea. Trips to Sector Five make me feel sick." Odd stated. The wall in Sector Five opened up. "The countdown has started, so hurry up. And watch out for the Scyphozoa." Jeremy said as they began to look for the key.
Thankfully the corridor was mostly straight until they reached a large open room with the key on the other side of the room. "Well how are we supposed to get to that." Odd said just as a creeper roared behind them. Josh turned around and tried to shoot a laser arrow at it but missed. "Great shot. You missed a creeper at ten yards." Odd said before trying to use Josh's sword to hit it and almost fell off the edge. "Odd give me that." Josh said taking his sword and destroying the creeper. Just then another creeper came crawling up the side of the platform and cornered Odd causing him to fall off. Josh manages to shoot that creeper before turning around and seeing Odd floating. "Xana must have modified the gravity in this room." Jeremy said. "Great." Josh said. "Odd go towards the button!" Josh said seeing Odd kick off the platform going right towards the key. Odd started slowing down about halfway to the key. "Darn I didn't get enough momentum." Odd said to himself. "Odd how many life points do you have left?" Josh said. "Alot why?" Odd replied just before Josh shot him with two laser arrows pushing him to the key. "Great job!" Jeremy yelled as the timer stopped at 1 minute and 16 seconds.
"Aelita ready to go?" Josh said as a creeper approached them again causing Josh to just grab a hold of Aelita and jump backwards towards the other side causing Aelita to gasp in surprise. As they approached the middle of the room the creeper shot Josh away from Aelita leaving her floating in the middle of the room. The Scyphozoa entered the room and floated towards Aelita. Moments later Josh and Odd began to phase in and out of existence again. Aeltia tried to escape but due to the altered gravity she didn't move anywhere allowing the Scyphozoa to grab her. After a few seconds Odd stopped phasing in and out and threw Josh's sword towards the Scyphozoa cutting its tentacles. Josh began to shoot at the Scyphozoa driving it away.
Odd kicked off the platform at the door and got to where Josh was. Josh then kicked off of Odd to get to Aelita. Josh kicked Aelita towards Odd then Odd kicked Aelita to the door. "Jeremey everytime we phase in and out it happens longer and longer." Josh said. "Aelita better find those codes and fast." Jeremy said worried as a creeper approached their location.
Aelita ran thru the coidoor and took the elevator to the terminal at the outside in the celestial dome. "Aelita, Quick deactivate the inhibitors and don't hang sound there too long. Things are bound to get messy." Jeremy said.
As Aelita was searching for the inhibitors the creeper was shooting at Josh and Odd. When Josh went to shoot at it he began to phase in and out allowing the creeper to shoot him instead. "Aelita hurry!" Jeremy said watching Josh and Odd's card slowly disappearing on his screen. "They are in the final process of deletion." Jeremy said watching the screen with Ulrich standing next to him.
The creeper shot Josh again before shooting at Odd. "Hurry up Aelita!" Jeremy said seeing their life points falling. Just moments later Aelita finished deactivating the inhibitors. "Thats it! Done Jeremy. You can take over again now"' She said. "Okay. I got it. I will transfer back to the materialization program." Jeremy said quickly typing to relaunch the program.
The creeper shot at Josh one last time causing him to devirtualize. Before shooting Odd devirtualizing him as well. "I sure hope the tweak on the materialization program worked." Jeremy said. "I am going to the scanner room." Urlich said taking the elevator down.
In the Scanner room Odd and Josh were out cold on the floor. "Odd is that you?" Urlich asked, shaking him. "Yeah of course, What's the matter with you. Don't you recognize your own friends?" Odd answered jokingly. "Dork." Urlich said in response.
Later that day outside the vending machines the group was talking. "So Jeremy anything else you think I can screw up?" Josh said laughing a bit. "Thankfully as far as I can tell no." Jeremy replied.
Please Review I really want to know what people think about the story so far.
