Conan and Rachel were standing in front of the warriors. 'Huh, no airplane this time?' wondered Conan.

'Nah, don't want to waste time,' Jeremie replied mentally. 'We did say you're going to stay at Kadic tonight ,' thought Yumi. 'But what about Moore?' 'Peter's doing something about that right now,' said Jeremie, explaining Peter's absence.

"It's a huge honor to meet you Ms. Moore!" Odd said, ferociously shaking her hand.

"Aww, this must be your son," Yumi stated, kneeling down and shaking Conan's hand. "Oh no, I'm just watching him for his parents, they're on a business trip."

They group invited Rachel and discussed living arrangements for the two to the principal. He gladly gave them spare dorms and was quite excited that Rachel was there.

Almost as soon as they got there, it was night and Conan was fast asleep.

The Lyoko Warriors secretly gathered at Ulrich's dorm. "So how are we going to get Conan's bag?" asked Alieta. "What's so special about his bag?" asked Yumi via speaker phone while using her cell under her blankets at home.

"It has all his tools and gadgets, like his tie and his watch, and possibly others." stated Peter. "By the way," asked Odd, "What did you Moore?"

"I froze him in Carbonite." "Anyway," continued Jeremie, "I have a plan."

The group leaned forward. Jeremie was about to say something, when Odd blurted out, "That's too complicated! I have a plan!"

Everyone grabbed the bridge of their noses and groaned. "Peter can you still create another you from the darkness?"

The group looked strangely at Odd. "Odd what the crap are you talking about?" Peter questioned. "Remember, before you weren't an official Lyoko Warrior, when you fought those XANA possessed agents and you used potions rather then your own magic?"

"I fought a lot of possessed agents Odd, you have to be more specific."

"After they blew your head off by shooting you neck and stabbing your head like a hundred times." "Oh yeah,"

Flashback:

Yumi looked at the severed head of their ally, "What the hell did you do to him?" The agents chuckled, "I killed him, cut off his bloody head!" Yumi then looked relieved, "Oh, well, that's step one. Did you morons do step two through five hundred and sixty five?"

"Oh crap!" A voice from behind then declared, "I'm back, baby!" Yumi groaned, "Don't use that quote. No one even remembers where that even comes from."

Then men aimed their guns as Peter. He started to chuckle. "You don't even realize it, but…" The men held a tighter grip on their guns. "But what!"

Peter then continued, "From the darkness…another me…has been formed!" As soon as he said that a dark figure wrapped around another group of agents.

It was a shadow of some form. And it was Hinder's.

End flashback

"Yeah I can still do that, no potions needed." Peter answered. As soon as Peter said this his Shadow went from on the floor to standing on its own "feet".

"You know what to do shadow?" asked Peter. His shadow nodded and slid under the door.

It slithered in a manner similar to a serpent, until it reached Conan and Rachel's room. The shadow tried the doorknob. Nothing, locked.

So it slid under the crack of the door. Shadow looked around and saw the bag on a chair. It picked it up, slid it on its back and opened the door.

The door creaked, Conan's eyes flew open. "Wha-?" The shadow stretched its arm and had it fill Conan's nostrils and mouth, until Conan fell unconscious.

A few minutes later it opened Peter's door. It fell on the floor, becoming a mere shadow once more.

The back fell to the ground. "Wait," Alieta said. "Come to think of it, why didn't you just summon the bag Pete?"

"That was my plan." Jeremie said. The available team glared. Odd could even fell Yumi's glare through the phone. "Yeah but my plan was cooler."

A gray book appeared before Peter. "What's that?" asked Jeremie. "A planner, I'm trying to see when and if I can send Odd to another dimension."

Ulrich just took the book, grabbed a match and said, "Looks like you got time…"

The next morning Conan woke up early, and looked for his bag. It was no where in sight. 'Oh no! If someone has stolen my bag, someone could tell I'm not an ordinary child!'

At that moment a thought popped into his head. 'Jeremie's room Conan, and hurry!' It was Alieta.

Conan sprinted to Jeremie's room. He was greeted by the Lyoko Warriors. "Hey little buddy." Peter said.

Conan looked around and noticed Odd is missing. "Where's…?"

"Oh, since he wasted our time, I sent him to another dimension." Peter answered, Ulrich smirking behind him. "I thought you couldn't do magic on that level?" questioned Alieta.

"Well, I used the way I did it before I used my magic, remember, I'd draw a circle and drop a match."

Conan then asked, "Two things, one, what dimension did you send Odd to? And two, where is my bag? I know you guys have it! "

"I sent him into the Dimension of Rabid Bears."

Conan raised an eyebrow. "Ok I'm exaggerating, I locked him in a closet I put a charm on so it's a pocket dimension." Peter said shrugging his shoulders.

"And two, your stuff's here, safe and sound… but we made more advance versions."

Conan looked and found copies of his gadgets. "Each tool has the enhanced functions of the original, and some added features." Jeremie explained.

"For example, your shoes' kicking power has been increased, and we added a blade that pops out, just incase. Your speed and jumping skills and agility are also increased."

Alieta then showed his new bowtie, "For this, you just have to hit the record button, which is above the screen, and that voice is saved into the data. There is a small screen and two directional buttons, so you can scroll through the voice data, then hit enter, which is under the screen."

Jeremie then grabbed a new pair glasses, "The range of the tracers have been increased, and we added night vision. Alieta also help me make this indestructible…in the sense it's very, very, very tough to destroy."

Ulrich picked up the bentou box laptop. "Uh… we couldn't do much for this one… so we made different variations of food, and a section with actual food, if you get hungry." Yumi grabbed a watch, "Jeremie and Alieta upgraded this for increased range, and made a machine gun styled belt so you can take down large guys or superhumans."

"The skateboard was a challenge, but we were able to add a "moon" battery, so it can rely on the moon's rays rather then the sun, when it's night time." Peter explained, holding a dark skateboard.

Alieta then added, "And we added a small place for you to put your feet, which close automatically onto them, sort of like skates, so you don't fall off easily, unless you say the code word…which you must program."

Conan looked at it and said, "One truth prevails." "A bit long but ok." said Yumi.

"The tracers themselves have been broken into two types, one type for keeping track of friends, appearing on your glasses as blue, green, or white. As for your enemies, red, black, or purple."

"Your suspenders are more elastic and can stick to objects in a way similar to spiders and attachable grappling hooks if that feature fails." Jeremie explained.

"Your earring cellphone we couldn't improve, it's already 15 years ahead of cellphone technology." Ulrich said, showing that there was no copy.

"Your electronic map notebook has increased range and can also detect any form of obstacles and your tracers." finished Yumi.

Meanwhile on Lyoko a tower activated, and a specter has floated into Rachel.

"Oh and one more thing!" Peter said going through his pocket. "Take this and use it if you need help with anything, or just want to say hello."

In Peter's hand was a red cellphone. "Thanks guys, but…why help me?" asked Conan.

"Easy." Jeremie commented. "You're one of the best detectives in the world, and you are of great ally in out fight. And we could be good friends…I know corny, but true." continued Yumi.

"Wait," said Alieta, "Something's wrong!" "What?" said the group in unison.

She pointed to out the window. Rachel was outside, climbing the wall like a bug.

"X.A.N.A.!" Jeremie muttered under his breath. Rachel finally made it to the window and punched the glass. As it was millimeters away from their faces they stopped.

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Eh X.A.N.A., take this!" Peter said, opening his fist. The glass flew through the air. Rachel's fists crackled with electricity.

Lightning destroyed every little shard flying towards her. "Run!" Ulrich said. "Wait, we need to get Odd out of the closet!" Conan yelled.

"That's…" Peter began before Yumi yelled, "If you say "That's what she said", I'm going to kill you!"

Peter snapped his fingers and Odd was beside him. "Now Odd I hope you learned a lesson about wasting time." Peter said, dragging him out of the room with no explanation.

Rachel chased after them. As she ran the energy around her was being sucked out and into her. "Peter, bring us to the Factory." Conan yelled. "Fine!"

That second they were at a factory. "Go to Lyoko!" said Jeremie. "What about Rachel?" asked Conan. "If one of you gets devirtualized, we'll have them hold her back.

In matter of minutes they were on the virtual world, Desert sector. Peter then pointed to Conan and said, "Ha! You're a puppy!" Conan glared and Peter said, "I'm joking, I'm a dog person…and so are you!" Peter chuckled.

Ulrich then said, "Jeremie's doing something about your form." After Peter stopped laughing he said, "Sorry Conan I set myself up for that one, I really shouldn't have. But seriously, be happy…you're not as silly looking as Odd." "Tell me about." muttered Odd.

"Alright Ulrich let's show these freaks what happens when they screw with our allies!" Peter said. "Yeah!"

At that moment a megatank rolled over Peter. As he returned to the real world he said, "Son of a b…!" "Every time." sighed Yumi. Then the megatank rolled over Ulrich.

"Well, let's get this done and over with." said Odd.

Peter and Ulrich met up with Jeremie at the computer. "What now Einstein?" asked Ulrich. "Stall Rachel. God knows what she's doing now."

"I got a hunch." Peter muttered. "Let me guess, she's going to suck the energy out of the supercomputer and destroy our friends?" asked Jeremie.

"Actually I though she was going to absorb all available energy and use it to destroy continent after continent. But, that's more plausible now that I think of it."

"Let's go!" said Ulrich, running to the elevator.

Conan was still grumbling because he looked like a puppy. "Seriously, why do I look like a puppy?"

Odd then replied, "Eh, it's something to do with mental mumbo jumbo that no one except Jeremie and Alieta can understand."

"Monsters!" Yumi snapped, pointing to a cluster of kanerlots and bloks.

"Ready?" asked Alieta, creating two energy fields. "Yeah," "You know it Princess,"

Conan was about to answered, but he was having trouble creating his energy orb. "Wha-?"

Ulrich and Peter have been hunting Rachel, but with no achievement. "I got an idea Peter," stated Ulrich. "What's that?"

"Make a device that detects energy, if there's a huge surge in an area with no energy…""I'll try that." Peter said.

"M-my ball, it won't form!" cried out Conan. "Relax Conan, maybe there's a hand thing you've got to do." Yumi stated gently. Conan cupped his hands/paws around each other and a small orb was made.

"Not big, but it'll do." Conan put it on the ground and with all his might kicked it. It hit a blok, but only took 10 life points off it.

"What, but that totally killed the m the last time!"

Peter just barely scrapped the machine together. "Uh, oh." "What is it?"

"Found X.A.N.A.-Rachel, but she's going to the power plant, all that radiation she can not only do what Jeremie said and destroy the Lyoko warriors, but do as I said, and destroy continent after continent! If she can survive all that."

"What do you mean?" asked Ulrich. "I mean, if X.A.N.A., try to make Rachel absorb all that radiation, X.A.N.A. might live, but Rachel's body will be vaporized."
