Yeah! People still like my story! Hmm, it seems like all of my reviewers are disappearing! Anyway, this chapter is going to be emotional, suspenseful, surprising, and, possibly a little confusing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the review. Criticism is allowed, flames are not. And if any anonymous reviewers even attempt to review me, it's not going to work. My first anonymous reviewer made me pretty angry, so there! Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Reminder: In the first chapter, I told you about my POV's. When I put a POV, it doesn't mean it will really be told in first person of whoever the POV belongs to, okay? It will just be centered on a certain person. Just to remind you.

Disclaimer: Isn't it surprising that I don't own Code Lyoko?

Claimer: I own Olivia Allen, and anything that might relate to her. Try to plagiarize me, and it's not going to get pretty.

-Continual From Last Chapter-

"M-me?" Olivia stuttered. Through her sparkling eyes, was a girl in pure shock. She took a frightening glance at the menacing Scyphozoa, who was somewhat glaring at her. Her face paled as she backed up, meeting with Aelita in the background.

Mists of confusion hung in the air. Yumi and Ulrich couldn't help but lower their weapons and wait for an explanation. Odd, on the other hand, kept his arm in full aim, but looked up to the yellow tinted sky for Jeremie.

"Jeremie, what are you talking about?" Ulrich asked. His face was a mask of puzzlement, as he stared at Olivia's shivering body. Yumi nodded, while Odd looked more frustrated.

Vital typing was heard instead of Jeremie's voice. "That's it! I'm not waiting! Olivia, Aelita, get behind that boulder, and don't come out!" Odd commanded. The two girls took off at an energetic sprint until they were a good hundred yards away.

Yumi was homing in on Odd's plan. "One…" she started, glancing at Ulrich.

"Two…" Ulrich nodded, understanding the plan.

"And…now!" Odd screamed like it was a battle cry. The three remaining fighters whipped around in a heartbeat, facing the Scyphozoa. They aimed their weapons, preparing to defend the two deactivators. The next thing was unexpected.

"Wait…what's happening out there?" Jeremie finally asked, after he heard nothing but silence. The three teenagers stared dumbly at the space where the Scyphozoa had been floating.

"X.A.N.A de-materialized it!" Yumi answered blankly, staring at the slowly dissipating jelly-fish.

"What? Why would X.A.N.A…hold on!" Jeremie began to type, giving Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich his full attention. In the same second, Jeremie screamed.

"Get to the girls!" he yelled. Odd's breathing stopped. He and the others took off towards the rock, only to find Aelita's back against it. Her chest rose and fell so fast, it looked like she was about to faint at any time. Odd's face was nothing but fear. Where was Olivia?

"Aelita, where's…" Odd questioned her. He stopped after she saw her point a shaking finger in front of her. Odd and Yumi slowly followed it, and gasped at the sight. X.A.N.A, for the first time, had successfully materialized the Scyphozoa from one place to another. And even worse, Olivia was the one tangled in its clutches.

Odd growled and held his arm to the main tentacles, which were surprisingly draining blue data instead if red. Yumi did the same with her fans.

"Laser…"

"Stop!" Jeremie cried out. Odd and Yumi jumped back, and turned their heads in every direction. "This…this is amazing! It's unbelievable…it's…" Jeremie rambled, staring at the screen. Ulrich had been trying to revive Aelita when he heard Jeremie's order.

"No Jeremie, it's not amazing! Olivia is getting something stolen from her and you want us to stop?" Ulrich screamed. Odd looked like he was ready to blow up.

"Give us some answers!" Odd demanded. Jeremie took a deep breath, feeling miniscule butterflies in his stomach.

"Okay…you know when Aelita gets her memory stolen, and a picture of her and how much memory she has left pops up on my screen?" Jeremie started.

"And…" Odd grumbled, holding his arm gauntlet towards the Scyphozoa.

"And, Aelita usually doesn't have a lot of memory, so usually it takes less than a minute for it to drain completely. She loses about a hundred points of memory a second! But…but Olivia…she has more than Aelita ever had before! She has more memory, and possibly even information, than Aelita and the supercomputer combined! And she only loses about three points of information, or memory, or whatever it is, every ten seconds!"

"Go on," Odd continued, finally lowering his arm. Jeremie smiled with satisfaction.

"I think if you give me some time and don't release Olivia from the Scyphozoa yet, I can tune into what X.A.N.A is looking for, why Olivia has all this information, and maybe much more!" Jeremie squealed in delight. When Aelita finally came back to reality, and heard Jeremie's plan, she contradicted.

"Don't you think that's a little risky? What if something goes wrong?" Aelita asked. Jeremie shrugged.

"It would take up to three hours for the Scyphozoa to drain Olivia completely, don't worry Aelita," he reassured her. Aelita made a wry smile, but still had a worried look on her face.

Odd stared at Olivia, who was wrapped up like a present. Her face had a look of horror, yet she was paralyzed; unable to do anything. He felt stupid, taking orders from someone who didn't even know what was going on. If he didn't let Olivia go, something could go wrong, but if he did let her go before Jeremie finished, something could be wrong with Olivia, and they would never know it. He sighed, and sat down with the rest of the group.

"So," he said to the rest of his friends, "what do we do?"

"I have a bad feeling about this," Ulrich answered.

"Me too," Yumi, Odd, and Aelita said at the same time. Odd was getting that funny feeling again, the feeling he felt when Olivia was crying in his arms, so he stood up.

"Jer, I really don't think you should be checking anything out. We should get Olivia out now!" Odd demanded in a rough tone.

"I'll only be a minute Odd, really! Nothing will go…" In the middle of Jeremie's sentence, the supercomputer started beeping non-stop. Jeremie's head started twisting everywhere, since he had no idea what was happening. He typed and typed, until his heart beat a billion times a second. "No! No, this can't be happening! What the heck is going on! Oh my…" Jeremie rambled and screamed and shook his head. He started to sweat, and heard that stupid little voice in his head, 'How could you Jeremie? How could you?' Jeremie rubbed his head and wiped his wet, swollen, eyes. He made a mistake. Everyone stood up and panicked.

"Jeremie! What's…?" Jeremie didn't need to answer. Odd turned his head quickly towards the Scyphozoa and Olivia, and started to choke on his own breathing.

He saw that the Scyphozoa's draining had stopped, and its gelatin-like head started bumping and beating blue energy waves. It got bigger. Odd got in his stance to release Olivia, with or without Jeremie's command. Sadly, it took him only two seconds to realize that he was too late. He stared in horror at Olivia's reaction.

Her eyes blinked as she broke out of her paralyzed state, and then closed shut in agony. Her body twisted and turned in painful ways that sent a sickening and fearful chill down Odd's spine. The Scyphozoa kept Olivia in its grip, waiting for her to stop jerking. Olivia let out a shrill scream, and went silent. With a swift movement, the Scyphozoa tossed her limp body onto the ground with a THUD on her side. Then it swam away. Odd stared in horror at the sight of his still girlfriend. Her back was to them, and she made no movement. Odd himself was motionless, but his body was shaking all over.

His breathing slowly came back, but with short, quick breaths. He didn't need to look to the others to know their reactions. Yumi and Aelita expected the worst, and went from small whimpers to hushed sobs. Ulrich tried to soothe Yumi as much as he could. Nothing was heard from Jeremie.

Odd rushed over and leaned down carefully next to her. He saw one half of her face, and smiled in a way. 'Please Liv,' he pleaded in his head, 'Don't waste such a pretty face,' He reached down and gently rubbed her limp shoulder. "Olivia? Olivia, please, wake up…"

Her body stayed motionless. Odd waited as long as his heart could carry him. Then, her eyes fluttered open. Odd sighed with relief and motioned for everyone else to come over. As the others ran towards them, Odd smiled. Olivia moved her body around and smiled back after seeing his face. He ruffled her hair.

"That's my little trooper," he said sympathetically. Olivia's dazed eyes sparkled, as she tried to ignore the pounding pain in her head. "Here, I'll help you up." Odd put one arm under her back and the other on her opposite shoulder. She groaned, but sighed after her other three friends ran up to her and bombarded her with hugs and humorous remarks. She giggled for the time being. After Yumi and Ulrich helped her to her feet, she looked unknowingly at the ground, unable to comprehend anything.

She looked around dumbly. "What…what just happened?" Olivia asked wearily. Aelita gasped.

"What was the last thing you remember?" Aelita asked panicky. Olivia was dazed.

"I remember hiding behind that boulder with you, until these translucent stringy things wrapped around me. I was out of it for a while, but when my eyes came back, I felt this pounding in my head," Olivia groaned, rubbing her temples. Odd wiped some sweat off her forehead with his pawed hand.

"The Scyphozoa probably gave up, you look fine…" Ulrich started happily, only to be interrupted by Odd.

"What's with your tattoo?" he asked, staring at Olivia's trademark I.D moon symbol on her head. It was beating blue auras.

Everyone crowded around to see Olivia's painful expression. She opened her eyes for just a second and squealed. "Ulrich!" she screamed, pointing to Ulrich's hand. He looked down and gasped.

"Jeremie, what are you doing?" Ulrich asked angrily. Jeremie shook his head.

"I have to devirtualize you guys," he answered solemnly. "Except Olivia…" he couldn't hold the truth to himself.

Olivia shivered and ran up to Odd. "What's going on?" she sobbed. Odd shook his head and held Olivia close to him.

"Jeremie! We're not leaving Olivia here! We haven't deactivated the tower, so Olivia is powerless here by herself! Monsters are swarming everywhere!" Odd stated loudly.

"Jeremie, don't you think we're jumping to conclusions? This is too hasty, so for that, I'm not going either!" Yumi said assertively. Aelita held her ground. As Ulrich disappeared, Jeremie answered their protest.

"Guys, listen to me! If I don't devirtualize you, you guys will be lost forever!" Jeremie answered.

Odd glared. "And Olivia?" Jeremie didn't answer. He already started the de-virtualization process for Yumi. Yumi sighed and looked up to Olivia's startled expression.

"I'm sorry Olivia, I tired…" Yumi told gloomily. Olivia nodded.

"Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong," Olivia replied. Yumi still sighed. After her body disappeared, Olivia looked back to Odd and clung to his arm.

"Please! Don't go! I'm…I'm scared Odd…Please!" she pleaded with tears welling in her eyes. Odd's face softened and he held both of her hands.

"I won't, I swear!" he answered loud enough for Jeremie to hear. Aelita reached out to touch Olivia's arm, but it went right through. She stared at her slowly devirtualizing hand and frowned.

"Olivia, it'll be okay…I…um…" Aelita tried to reassure Olivia while she was still in Lyoko, but she didn't know how. Aelita didn't even know what was going on. Soon enough, she disappeared as well as the others.

Olivia lost control of her emotions and almost had a panic attack. Everything was going too fast. Odd kept his arms around her, hoping Jeremie wouldn't try anything. Odd felt his grip on Olivia begin to fade, and saw his arms starting to dissipate. He growled and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Stop Jeremie! I can't leave her here! She's defenseless; she can barely stand up without anyone! Stop!" Odd screamed and pleaded; anything that would make Jeremie quit this madness. But he didn't. Odd moved around to see Olivia, who was sitting on the ground, paralyzed by everything that moved. He watched helplessly as her terrified eyes stared at him. "Olivia!" he yelled out. She tried to answer him, but was silenced. The last thing Odd saw was the Scyphozoa in the background, heading right towards her.

-A Few Minutes Later-

Odd, followed by the rest of the gang, came crashing through elevator doors to the supercomputer. Jeremie stood up and walked towards Odd slowly, who was walking like a rampaging bull. "Please Odd, let me…" Jeremie was silenced when Odd grabbed his turtleneck and forcefully pushed him against the wall. Jeremie winced.

"Why did you just leave Olivia there alone? Why didn't you just devirtualize her? Why was the Scyphozoa draining…?" Odd had to pause to catch his breath. Ulrich, Yumi, nor Aelita, bothered to come to Jeremie's rescue. Ulrich just shook his head shamefully, Yumi kept her eyes on the two, fighting boys incase Odd tried something serious, and Aelita walked behind Odd and stared at Jeremie acutely.

"Answer us Jeremie, what's going on?" Aelita asked her while Odd was snarling at Jeremie's guilty look.

"Let me go Odd, and I'll show you…if you really want to know the truth," Jeremie explained. Odd loosened the grip on Jeremie's collar, but didn't know how to react. Aelita placed her hand on Odd's clenched fist.

"Let him go," she told him calmly. Odd took a deep breath and released him. Yumi and Ulrich came closer and listened attentively.

"I don't know what the Scyphozoa wanted with Olivia; I have a hypothesis, but I need to evaluate it. Whatever it wanted from her, it got it. With whatever information the Scyphozoa obtained, it also got Olivia's fractal code, which is why I couldn't bring her back. Olivia must have more information within her, maybe even things about all of you. When the Scyphozoa found all of that, it was prepared to get rid of you as soon as possible. That's why I devirtualized you guys, or you wouldn't be here right now," Jeremie finished in one breath. Everyone stared at him.

"Then why didn't the Scyphozoa…" Yumi started. Jeremie finished.

"I know what you're going to ask, why didn't the Scyphozoa steal all of Olivia's…wait a minute!" Jeremie ran back to the computer.

Odd grabbed his shoulder. "What about Olivia?" Jeremie looked worried.

"That's what I'm trying to find out!" Jeremie rushed to the computer and put on his headset. He motioned for Aelita. "You're the only one who knows how to create visuals; can you make one at Olivia's coordinates?" Aelita nodded and typed a few things. Then, a visual of Olivia staring out into space, appeared. She looked horrified.

She forced her wobbly legs to support her. She looked around. "Odd…?" she asked terrifyingly. Odd grabbed the headset from Jeremie. "I'm here Liv, I'm here." Nobody had a smile on their faces, but stared at the screen carefully. Olivia looked around.

"W-where are you?" she asked. Odd buried his forehead in one of his hands.

"In the factory, I can see you," he answered as cheerfully as he could act. Olivia whipped her head around to see something in the distance.

"What's happening?" Olivia cried out tearfully. Odd's fist was clenched, and he screamed through the headset. "Olivia, turn around! The Scyphozoa!" Odd warned. Olivia slowly turned her head, to see it heading towards her. Her eyes widened. The Scyphozoa had doubled in size, and the tentacles lengthened. Olivia was frozen in her spot; she knew she didn't have the energy to run or even fight back. She tried to reach for her Silver Shooters.

But the Scyphozoa saw her. In the middle of the dot on the Scyphozoa's Eye of X.A.N.A, started to glow red. Everyone stared wild-eyed at the sight, even Olivia herself. In a blinding moment, the Scyphozoa shot a red laser straight at Olivia's chest (A/N: Whoa! New power!). Everyone gasped and held their breath. Odd's face whitened.

Olivia fell back with another powerful THUD! She stayed still for two seconds and started to flinch and wince. Her eyes fluttered open, and her chest was moving at an extremely uneven pace. Fortunately, she made herself be supported by her arms. Her eyes were cloudy and confused. She stared at the Scyphozoa. She didn't know what to do. And even more, Olivia looked like she didn't even care that a monster was right in front of her (A/N: Landing on her head knocked her out a bit). The blue auras on her tattoo began to fade. The Scyphozoa's Eye glowed again, and aimed for Olivia's symbol.

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly. Odd couldn't help but scream out, "What's going on!" But his question was too late. The Scyphozoa reared back and shot Olivia square on the moon symbol. She fell back again, but landed head first, followed by her already sensitive back. Her breathing was like a small whisper, visually, just as much as auditory. She couldn't make it, she knew, so she turned her head to one side. Without knowing it, she gazed solemnly at the visual. Her cerulean eyes clouded and then closed shut, a tear just barely making it through the closed slit of her eye. Every piece of clothing that was blue on her body began to fade in hue, turning to a bluish-grey. The moon on her head glowed once more, and then faded into a dark, lonely, almost black shade of blue. Her hand twitched once, then stopped. She didn't move, didn't breath, didn't struggle, didn't do anything. The Scyphozoa swam away. And there Olivia was, lifelessly lying on the ground of the Desert Sector. She was alone.

The computer gave warning beeps after Olivia stopped breathing, and a picture of her I.D card came into view. It was a simple profile picture of her, with a Silver Shooter in her hands in a delicate stance. The picture was highlighted…in red. (A/N: Remember in "The Key," when Aelita lost all of her memory and her I.D card was highlighted red? That's what happened to Olivia's) No one moved. Aelita waited until someone started talking, hoping she wouldn't have to acknowledge this loss, but she couldn't hold it back. She started to sob quietly, her eyes resembling a bright red apple. Aelita recognized the inert look on Olivia's face. Her friend was dead. Yumi joined in and cried on Ulrich's sagging shoulder. Ulrich's eyes were red, but he didn't cry.

"Odd…?" Ulrich asked him quietly. Odd stared at Olivia's red picture, and then back at the visual. His eyes reddened and moistened. His breaths resembled the warnings that were constantly beeping on the supercomputer, yet were raspy, but in his mind, it was nothing but loss and rage. His best friend was lying in a parallel universe, dead. Lifeless… and he wasn't even there beside her.

He stood up, took off the headset, and stared at it carefully. His eyes pinched together, and he slammed it to the floor. Everyone jumped. They stared at Odd with bewildered eyes. He kept his head down, two clenched fists at his sides. Slowly, he turned around. He looked at Jeremie. Jeremie looked just as upset as everyone else, but Odd didn't care. Odd glared at him in a raging fury. Jeremie hadn't noticed, but when he looked up at his angry and depressed companion, he backed away. Odd ran towards him and pinned him to the wall, his elbow against Jeremie's rib cage. Odd wasn't the one to cry, but for the first time, a few, un-noticeable tears had been released.

"You idiot!" Odd screamed angrily. Jeremie didn't argue, but he did attempt to push Odd away. Odd returned it by pushing him against the wall with a greater force. Jeremie choked. Odd reared back his clenched fist, preparing to give Jeremie a piece of his mind, until Aelita came flying out of nowhere, grabbing his fist.

"Enough! Enough…please…stop…" Aelita sputtered tears everywhere on her cheeks and the floor. Odd's breathing came back, he snarled at Jeremie, and let him go. Yumi and Aelita helped Jeremie get his air back. Jeremie smiled thankfully at the two girls. Odd continued to walk over to the computer, when Jeremie stopped him.

"It's unanimous, I made a mistake…" Jeremie said sadly. Odd stopped.

"What?" Jeremie took a deep breath. This was going to take some time.

"My hypothesis proved me right. There's more to Olivia then we know, or even if she knew herself." Odd listened but didn't meet with Jeremie's eyes. "Olivia's brain was made up of two parts: information and memory." Odd winced when Jeremie said 'was'. "Aelita and I know that memory is more valuable than information, so the memory has to be hidden. So, in order for that to happen, the memory is locked in almost a secret passage way inside her brain. The only way to access it, is by a password, or a concealed key lodged in the information. I didn't think the Scyphozoa could find it so easily! After you find that key hidden in the information, you can take all of the information, as well as the memory, in a split second. If I had realized that sooner…Olivia would still be here… I don't know what kind of information or memory Olivia had, but the Scyphozoa has it now." Odd understood what Jeremie was implying. He also knew that Jeremie was just as disturb about what happened to Olivia as everyone else, but couldn't he actually think for once?

'All he cares about is what X.A.N.A does with that stuff, not that my best friend is gone, and for that, I don't care. X.A.N.A can take over the whole universe if he wants to, the only thing that matters is that Olivia isn't here to fight it with us…' Odd said in his mind.

Odd sighed, trying to swallow a lump in his throat. "You're right Jeremie, you made a mistake, and because of that, it cost all of us a friend's life." Odd wasn't surprised that he sounded strikingly bitter. He continued walking back to the supercomputer.

Aelita gave Jeremie the most loving hug she could give. She wasn't sure if it was a reassuring embrace, or even something that meant absolutely nothing. All she knew was that he needed it. Jeremie returned the hug, but stared at Odd regretfully, who was silently crying in his seat. The blond genius felt a great deal of hostility in his purple-clad friend's last statement, but he was right. It was Jeremie's fault, and Odd had been right this time. Because of Jeremie, Odd and the others would have to suffer with the guilt of losing a truly remarkable girl.

Aelita joined Odd, but leaned lethargically, on the back of the chair. She rested her head on her folded arms. Nothing seemed pleasant or even hopeful, at any moment in time.

Yumi and Ulrich were sitting with each other next to the hologram, with Yumi crying on Ulrich's shoulder. Ulrich held her tightly, but nothing else seemed to work on their emotions. He still didn't get it. When he had first seen Olivia, he had high hopes for her future. He could already imagine what her future kids would look like, and even an educated guess about who her lucky husband would be (A/N: Cough, Odd, cough). This didn't seem right. How could he see someone's possible outlook, if they couldn't even make it through the eighth grade alive?

Jeremie took a long, serious glance at his friends. None of them, not even Aelita, bothered to talk to him. He took it hard, and sat against the wall, staring into space. Olivia's death was a mark of stupidity, Jeremie's stupidity. 'You're a pathetic excuse for a genius!' His conscious ringed in his head. He buried his face in his hands, and silently slipped into what seemed like a harsh reality.

-Odd's POV-

Odd sat in the chair and faced the supercomputer like a broken spirit. Tears noiselessly spilled through his eyes. He had never cried like this before, but it didn't shock him either. He rubbed his head. The only thing that could be heard was the annoying beeping, a few muffled sobs from Yumi, and Olivia's serene voice ringing in his and everyone else's heads. Just imagining Olivia's voice pained him, and sent him to a deeper level of depression, knowing he would never hear it again.

He could still see Olivia's face though. Aelita had gotten rid of the cold visual, which only left Olivia's I.D card, the only thing left. He had nothing else to remind him of his late girlfriend.

Olivia would always leave a mark in their heads, good or bad, that much Odd knew. She had beyond doubt, opened their eyes to what reality was really like. Much more, she had the characteristics of a true-hearted Indigo, even though most found that conceited, except her friends and herself. Her friends found no flaw in Olivia's outlook on life. Sure, she had pros and cons just like any other human being, but the way she saw the universe was better than anyone else beyond her years. Odd would miss that the most; her uniqueness.

Either way, he still missed her smile. Her smile was never forged, and she couldn't fake one even if she tried. He would miss her raw sense of humor. She had a cheesy comeback for just about anything. But just like anyone who ever met and liked Olivia, would miss her eyes the most. Odd smiled vaguely at the memory of her eyes. You could never find anyone in the world with such extraordinary color or depth. The cerulean shade was out of this world, nothing you could find anywhere else. A rare opportunity. Even more than her eyes, was what her eyes could see. In a way, she could see emotions, feelings, and the true importance of living. She was a girl of higher order thinking.

Odd's smile washed out instantaneously. Remembering the great times he had over the past few days with one amazing girl overwhelmed him. What was he supposed to do now? Sit in his room and kill himself with memories until he cracked? Even worse, what were they going to tell the school? That their friend died after getting her memory and information sucked out by a computerized monster and shooting her with deadly lasers and now the world was doomed? It was going to be tough.

Odd had been fighting this lump stuck in his throat for over fifteen minutes, and he still didn't have the strength to force it down. He was wounded enough. 'I'd rather sit here and rot…' Odd thought to himself. He could already imagine it now. He could sit in this seat, staring at a black computer for twenty years, broken by an event that shouldn't have happened. But not even he had that kind of depression to try something like that, but he would never get his life back in order, that much he knew. He could already see his guitar in his dorm, dusty and covered in cobwebs, and Kiwi, whimpering out of neglect. Everyone would be going around the school saying "Della Robbia lost it," or "Odd finally snapped." (A/N: You have to be really in love with someone to even think of things like that!) Yet, only he was the one in the room that realized that the beeping had stopped.

Odd looked up confusingly and stared at Olivia's card. It was still red. He looked around to see everyone's reactions. Aelita hardly noticed anything with her glossy eyes. She coughed in her arms. Jeremie was still slumped against the wall, and Yumi and Ulrich were still locked together, trying to soothe each other. Odd looked back and squinted at the I.D card. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He took a closer look…and then went wild-eyed. Just at the bottom, he swore he could see a small strip of color. It wasn't much, not much at all, but it was something. It was a tiny stripe of white, pure white. It didn't outmatch the red highlight, but it was still color. He raised his arm and touched the image gently. His heart was filled with relief and more, but too much for him to name. Olivia could be a close enough word to describe it. The tears stopped.

He could finally smile with a purpose. It was a loving and relieving smile. He rubbed the image. "Olivia is alive," he whispered, too soft for anyone to hear.

-General POV-

Aelita sighed and wiped some tears to clear the way for her green eyes. This was unbelievable. Olivia had died, something Aelita could never imagine. She could only picture how Odd was taking this; he probably was swimming in a sea of denial by now. She reached her arm down to give him a reassuring pat. "Odd, I'm sorry…" Aelita waited for Odd to at least tug away, but he stayed surprisingly still, not even realizing that Aelita had acknowledged him.

"Odd, what are you…" she stopped short. She saw Odd, with his hand grazed over Olivia's I.D card. He was smiling. Aelita looked at Odd like she was looking at the grass grow. She followed his gaze, and gasped. 'This…this is impossible!' Olivia had a tiny piece of white coloring at the bottom of her card. Most of the white was just the background and a little bit of Olivia's tight, white pants. Aelita took a deep breath and checked to see if she was right. Without Odd noticing, she brought up the statistics of Olivia's memory and information count. She and Odd read it silently. Zero…zero…zero…zero…zero…zero…zero…one. One…one was all they needed to explain it all. Aelita and Odd's breathing started to speed up, until they could hear one another.

Aelita couldn't hold it back. She screamed out, tears of pure joy spilling from her eyes. She began to twirl around and give Odd these huge hugs. Odd didn't move though, he was mystified by what he just saw.

Jeremie looked up and stared at Aelita carefully, almost confused. "Aelita? What…oof!" Jeremie was surprised by Aelita bombarding him with the biggest hug ever. "What's so important?" Jeremie coughed, wiping his eyes. Aelita let go and looked at Jeremie blissfully.

"Olivia…" she paused, "Olivia is alive!" she screamed out. Jeremie's eyes widened and Yumi and Ulrich ran over and grabbed her shoulders.

"Really? She's still alive?" Yumi asked jittery. Aelita nodded and wiped some of her tears away. Ulrich crossed his arms and smiled.

"Well, what do you know? Olivia is quite a trooper!" he announced gladly.

"It's…its amazing…unbelievable…" Jeremie rambled. Aelita shook her head.

"More like a miracle!" Aelita shrieked. Odd was still in his dazed state, but was smiling the most.

"Wait…" Odd finally said, looking back at the others worriedly. "When the Scyphozoa doesn't drain Aelita's memory completely, it all comes back! But…but Olivia still has a one, tiny piece of memory left! Why didn't it all come back to her?" This time, no one knew how to answer, but Jeremie was intent on finding out.

"I got it!" Jeremie yelled out.

"Why can't you just say Eureka like every other genius?" Odd joked in a way, crossing his arms. Jeremie frowned.

"Because I'm stupider than other geniuses," Jeremie admitted. Odd got the picture and grimaced. Jeremie ran to the super computer and typed in a few things. Everyone else crowded around. He turned his chair around and faced his friend's anxious faces.

"Okay, here's the deal. Aelita's mind is made up of only memory, so if she still has memory left, it will all come back. Olivia's mind is made up of memory and information," Odd smiled when Jeremie said 'is' instead of 'was' "so, if Olivia has a piece of memory and information left, then it would all come back!" Jeremie finished.

"But why did Olivia's symbol go dark is she is still alive?" Ulrich asked.

"That was temporary. The supercomputer didn't scan Olivia's brain waves completely. Right now, she should just be in a very deep sleep," Jeremie answered. "Aelita, visual please?" Aelita nodded and typed up a visual. And there Olivia was, still looking as lifeless and dull as ever. Everyone waited and watched.

Then, the miracle that everyone had been waiting for came true. Olivia's moon symbol began to shine. The beautiful, blue hues in her Lyoko form came back. She started to breathe. Everyone screamed and laughed. Odd yelled the most.

"Well, there still is one problem," Jeremie said. The celebration stopped. "The Scyphozoa is on its way to Sector 5 right now, to give the data to X.A.N.A. It will take X.A.N.A a while to decode it, but it will mean the end of the world as we know it, and Olivia won't wake up again!" Everyone froze.

"What do you propose we do?" Aelita asked. Jeremie thought it over for a minute.

"Get to Lyoko and fly Olivia to the tower nearest to Sector 5 and stay there. Aelita and one of you three will have to go to Sector 5 and get Olivia's memory and information back to her. Aelita, you'll have to absorb it and transport it back to Olivia in the tower," Jeremie concluded. Aelita's face brightened.

"Will I be able to access what the memory and information is about?" she asked, anxiously awaiting Jeremie's answer. He shook his head disappointingly.

"Olivia is the only one who can access it, but I don't think she'll be in any position to try. While you guys are there, I'll try to see if I can find anything in Franz Hopper's diary for anything about a secondary program that can deactivate towers. Get to Lyoko, now!" he ordered. Everyone ran to the elevator, but Odd stopped and looked at Jeremie, a guilty look on his face.

"Jer, I'm a…" Jeremie smiled and stopped him.

"I accept your apology, but you had the right to contradict. No time, go!" Jeremie demanded. Odd smiled and ran to the elevator.

"Transfer Odd; transfer Yumi; transfer Aelita. Scanner Odd; scanner Yumi; scanner Aelita. Virtualization!" Jeremie started. "You turn Ulrich." Ulrich stepped into one of the empty scanners. "Transfer Ulrich. Scanner Ulrich. Virtualization!"

The four teenagers dropped in the Desert Sector, exactly where Olivia was lying. Odd ran over and put his hand in her cheek. It was cold. "Liv…Liv, can you here me?" he asked. He gently rubbed her forehead. She shivered, but she didn't wake up. Odd sighed, and looked in front of him. His Overboard was still here, as well as everyone else's vehicles. Odd smiled at Olivia and looked back at his companions.

"Hey guys," he said in a hoarse voice. "Can you help me get Olivia on the Overboard?" Ulrich ran over and put his arms under Olivia's back, while Odd took her legs. They gentle deposited her on the vehicle. Odd hopped on.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Odd yelled. Ulrich and Yumi got on their own vehicles, and Aelita rode in the Overwing with Yumi. They took off in the direction of the nearest tower.

"Aelita, which tower is closer to Sector 5?" Yumi asked.

"A tower in the Polar Region, I believe," she responded. "We have to go through one of the towers here to get there."

"Then let's go," Odd said seriously. They had gotten to the used-to-be activated tower, went through it, and ended up in the right tower as soon as they got there.

Odd stood up and gently lowered Olivia to the floor of the tower. "Now what Jeremie?" Odd asked.

"All right, Aelita, Ulrich, head outside and I'll send the Transport Orb," Jeremie instructed. Aelita and Ulrich walked out of tower while Jeremie entered the code: SCIPIO.

"She'll be okay Odd," Ulrich reassured him. Odd smiled wearily.

In less than five seconds, a large white sphere appeared in front of them with a blue Eye of X.A.N.A. It engulfed the pair.

(A/N: I'm not good at the Sector 5 explaining thing, so I'm just going to skip to the part where Aelita and Ulrich see the Scyphozoa)

Aelita spotted the Scyphozoa first, who was depositing blue fluid into a translucent screen. "How are we supposed to get Olivia's stuff back?" Ulrich asked, keeping a good distance out of sight. Aelita thought it over.

"We have to wait until the Scyphozoa deposits everything into the screen; you'll know when it's finished when the blue data is gone. As soon as it finishes, cut off the three tentacles that's it's using to drain. If I'm quick enough, I can hack into the security system and get it back!" Aelita planned. Ulrich looked uneasy.

"But what if the Scyphozoa finishes the process with its other tentacles?" he asked a little suspicious of the jelly-fish. Aelita smiled.

"It's impossible, the Scyphozoa used those tentacles to drain Olivia, so those are the only tentacles that can touch the data!" Aelita smiled and took one step towards the back of the monster. She signaled Ulrich with her three fingers. One…two…three!

Ulrich ran right up behind the Scyphozoa, and prepared himself. He snuck up behind it, jumped in front, and lashed through his tentacles like a stick of butter. The Scyphozoa made a whiny noise, and swam away. Ulrich waved his hand.

"All right Aelita, hurry!" Ulrich yelled. Aelita ran to the screen and started to quickly move random windows around. It seemed to have worked, because suddenly, a blue symbol, Olivia's symbol, appeared on the screen. Aelita grinned with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'm in. All I have to do is activate the transferring sequence and we're good to go!" Aelita pushed against the screen and leaned her forehead closer. The symbol minimized to the original symbol's size, and a stream of blue and white data flowed form the screen to Aelita forehead. She kept her eyes closed to keep her concentration. After she finished, a pink version of the moon was implanted on Aelita's head. Ulrich looked amazed and looked intently at Aelita.

"Whoa…" was all he managed to say. Aelita beamed and grabbed his hand.

"Hurry, let's hope we're not too late!"

-In the Tower-

Olivia's limp head was resting on Odd's shaking knee. He felt as scared as when Mrs. Hertz gave a pop quiz, but worse. This time he was worried, for Olivia, not himself.

Yumi was pacing back and forth, taking guilty glances every now and then at the pair. She smiled sometimes at how cute they looked together, and sighed, hoping that that memory would last.

"They're here, I mean, there, I mean, oh never mind!" Jeremie cursed to himself. Ulrich and Aelita came running through to the middle of the tower. They were panting.

"We…got here…as fast…as…we could…" Ulrich said, almost losing all his breath. "Oh, God," Ulrich said, finally sitting down. Aelita regained her breath and smiled at Yumi. Yumi smiled back, but stared at the pink symbol on her forehead. She had her eyebrow raised.

"Um, Aelita, what's that?" Yumi questioned, pointing dumbly at her head. Aelita shrugged and rubbed her forehead.

"I guess this is just how I can transport the memory and information into Olivia. Other than that, I'm not sure," Aelita explained clearly. Odd looked at her helplessly.

"Aelita, hurry!" he pleaded. Aelita rushed over and turned Olivia's head just barely, so that her moon symbol was in sync with Olivia's. Odd kept her still.

Aelita leaned down only slightly, so that she was about a foot from Olivia's head. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Another pink stream flowed from Aelita's pink moon into Olivia's shining blue one. Aelita kept absolutely still, while Odd was shaking all over, trying his best to not throw Aelita off course. After everything was transferred, the pink moon disappeared and Aelita looked tired. Yumi walked over to help her up.

Olivia's moon glowed a bright pink for less than a second, and then faded to blue. She started to shiver and twitch, and even quietly moaned. Her head retained its original position on Odd's knee, and she still didn't speak. Everyone crowded around, hoping that they were not too late. Even Jeremie remained mute.

Odd pushed some hair away from her face. "C'mon Olivia, c'mon!" he yelled in a soft tone. She still didn't move. Yumi turned away, and Aelita kept watching, waiting for anything, even for a tiny flinch. Ulrich kept his eye on Olivia, but put his hand on Odd's shoulder just in case

Olivia's hand started to twitch and move around. Odd gasped and moved her around so that her head rested on his arm. Yumi whipped around and came closer, and Aelita became red. Ulrich's face resembled an anxious puppy. Odd had a hopeful look on his face while he watched her carefully. Then, she opened her eyes.

Her cerulean eyes were dark and endless, almost hollow, but seeing everyone again, the cerulean shade took control. They glowed brighter than they had ever glowed before. She looked up and smiled. "Did…did I miss something?"

Yumi and Aelita stood up and started cheering and crying and twirling around. Ulrich jumped up and waved his arms in the air and screaming "Yes, yes, yes!" Odd kept his arm around Olivia and smiled. Olivia smiled back.

After their little celebration, everyone came around and started giving Olivia hugs and cheering…again. When they dispersed, they gave room for Olivia to stand up and shake the confusion out of her head. She looked up and gave Odd a much unexpected hug. "So…did something happen that I missed?" she asked, still a little dazed. Odd put his arm around her shoulders while everyone else watched happily.

"We thought we were too late."
