Chapter 14: Nope and a Riddle

"It's not one of my files." Franz answered.

"jcf. I wonder what that stands for?" Jeremy said.

"Wait, what is James' full name?" Yumi asked.

"James Charles…FRYS!" Aelita announced.

"It must be one of James' creations." Jeremy said.

"What's Batteryrecov?" Odd asked.

"Did you say James used his life force as a power source?" Franz said.

"Yea, why?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, think about it, what portable source do you charge and put in a mobile device?" Franz asked.

"A BATTERY! THIS MUST BE THE RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR JAMES' LIFE FORCE!!!" Aelita screamed.

"But we don't have any programs to run it." Jeremy said.

"James' Computer must have something." Yumi said.

"Leave it to James to create a recovery program and not tell us." Ulrich said.

"Lets see, password Aelita, I'm in." Jeremy said.

"Now to transfer the program to the supercomputer and…done." Jeremy said. Then he tried to open it, but it wouldn't.

"Wow, this encryption is way harder than mine." Franz said.

"That's the problem. It took me 6 months to figure it out last time. This will take 2 years." Jeremy said.

"Remember, all of the answers are Aelita." Odd said.

"Hm…A." Jeremy typed a 1

"E." Jeremy typed a 5

"L." Jeremy typed a 12

"I" Jeremy typed a 9

"T" Jeremy typed a 20

"A" Jeremy typed another 1.

"15129201. That's enough numbers." Aelita said.

"Let's hope it works." Jeremy said.

"Access denied." The program announced.

"Wait, James always did things strangely, try putting the sequence backwards." Odd said.

Jeremy typed 12091251.

"Code accepted." The program said loading up the workspace.

Jeremy opened the file.

"Execute Batteryrecov.jcf?" The computer asked.

Jeremy clicked yes.

"Put recorded fingerprint to scan. Scan shows not owners." The computer replied.

"Who could it be?" Jeremy asked.

"I haven't been scanned for anything." Aelita answered.

"That may be true, but what about fingerprint recording. James could of got your fingerprint from something you touched." William answered.

Everyone looked at him. They were surprise he thought about that.

"What? I pay attention sometimes." William said.

"Ok, lets try it." Jeremy said.

Aelita put her finger on the scanner Jeremy plugged into the computer.

"Scan confirmed. Running program." The computer said.

"Yes!" Everyone yelled.

"Retrieving battery…Not found! Unknown directory." The program said with a flashing red exclamation point in a circle Jeremy always dreaded.

"What? What does it mean not found?" Jeremy said.

"Click that." Franz said pointing to troubleshoot.

"Battery not found. If the battery was not found, that means you haven't launched the directory accompanying application. Use it to find the battery." The note said.

"Hey, look at this, it's a small CD reader." Ulrich said looking though James' bag.

"Where's the CD?" Jeremy asked.

"There's a note." Odd said looking at the bottom.

"Clue: CD for this reader is hanging by a ring." It said.

"Great, another riddle." Ulrich said.

"Wait, CD hanging from a ring." Odd said.

Aelita thought. Jeremy noticed Aelita was wearing circle earrings today.

"Where did you get those earrings?" Jeremy asked.

"James gave them to me today." Aelita replied.

"Wait a second, hanging from a ring…The CDs are Aelita's Earrings!" Yumi exclaimed.

"Right!" Aelita said plugging in the CD reader to the computer and putting the two disks in.

"Running BatteryLoc.jcf" The computer replied.

The computer read…

Scanning Lyoko sectors…

Ice…

Mountain…

Forest…

Desert…

Carthage…

Web section 1…

2…

3…

4…

5…

"Scan complete." The program said.

Jeremy then launched the Batteryrecov.jcf program once again.

The computer read…

Finding battery…

Scanning battery for XANA…EHH!!! XANA found. Launch XANA removal program!

"Great. XANA is on the battery. At least the program is on the other disk." Jeremy said.

…XANA removed. Resuming procedure

…Scanning life force. Hasn't changed.

…Checking DNA. Hasn't changed.

…Forming body…

Devirtulizing…

"Come on!" Jeremy said and everyone ran to the scanner room.
