"Oh boy, we got to stop her…him…them!" Ulrich then called Jeremie and alerted him. "Yeah, I got, I'll tell the others," Jeremie quickly gave the warriors the rundown.
"No! We can't let that happen!" Conan yelled. "Don't worry, we're not going to let Rachel die." Yumi said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Ulrich and Peter managed to teleport to where X.A.N.A.-Rachel was, half way to the Nuclear Factory. "X.A.N.A., you ready to be defeated for like, what the fifty-thousandth time?" snapped Ulrich. X.A.N.A.-Rachel's fists crackled with electricity.
Peter was about to throw a fireball, when Ulrich stopped him, "She absorbs energy…what's stopping her from absorbing magical energy?"
"Good point," stated Peter. X.A.N.A.-Rachel released electric bolts from her finger tips. The two were not prepared, so the bolts sent them flying away.
Conan still couldn't get his energy balls to be strong enough to destroy the monsters. "I don't get it, why won't it work?" Conan asked dodging an attack.
"Maybe there's an emotional element involved." said Jeremie.
"Huh?" Alieta began to explain, "Each of our powers or weapons have an emotional tie-in. For example, if I wanted to make an energy field, I need to think of something that angers me. And if I want to create something, I need to attach myself to it."
Yumi picked up, "If I want to use my telekinesis, I need to think peacefully." Odd then stated, "If I want to make a shield, I must think of comforting thoughts."
Alieta then said, "Maybe your concern for Rachel is weakening your energy."
"So, my caring for the girl I love's welfare is a weakness?" snapped Conan. "Not quiet what I mean, I mean that you're losing faith in yourself, that you can save Rachel. If you get your faith back, your powers might go back up."
Ulrich and Peter were thrown against a wall. The boys moaned. Ulrich muttered, "I think my arm is sprained." Peter then replied, "I think I broke my tail bone." He then grabbed a notebook and pencil and wrote something down.
"So what do I do?" asked Conan. "Relax, be confident that you can do this." said Yumi, patting Conan's shoulder. Conan shuddered in slight worry. He then took a deep breath.
X.A.N.A.-Rachel grabbed hem both by their throats. X.A.N.A.-Rachel then said, "For the longest time you have been in the way of X.A.N.A.'s will…"
"Wait, you're a specter?" asked Ulrich, through choking breath. "That's what you call us? Well yes. X.A.N.A has sent us to your world for years."
"So, X.A.N.A. has never been on Earth?" asked Peter. "Why?" asked the specter. "It shows me now that your "lord" is no more then a coward, using monsters, even though he has boasted to me personally, when I was imprisoned on Lyoko of his "god-like might"."
The specter grew enraged and tossed him into a building, causing a small amount of rubble, crushing him.
The specter caused Rachel to toss Ulrich into a street lamp. "Ow," he moaned. Specter-Rachel walk away towards the direction of the nuclear power plant. Ulrich stood up and rubbed his back.
Peter then said, "I think she crushed my liver…" Peter rubbed where his liver is and said, "No, it's smashed." Peter stood up and fell over. "You ok?" asked Ulrich.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine, my liver is smashed, never better. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK!"
Ulrich then asked helping Peter up and started running, "How do I survive this kind of thing." Peter was about to explain but said, "I can't remember, had something to do when I first came here."
Conan was able to make a modest sized orb of energy. "Here goes nothing," he whispered, throwing the orb.
Jeremie then said, "Fifty life point damage, close Conan, but not there yet."
"Well, it's better then nothing." he said, charging up another orb and throwing it at a krabe. The krabe stumbled backwards, off the sector and fell into the digital sea.
"That works too," Alieta said shrugging her shoulders. Odd, while firing a direct shot at a tarantula, said, "I wonder how Peter and Ulrich are doing?"
Peter and Ulrich sprinted away as Specter-Rachel threw a gas truck at them, "She trying to kill us!" When the boys were far enough, Rachel started to make it for the power plant.
For a normal person this would have taken hours, but for a person possess by one of X.A.N.A.'s specters, a quick sprint will do.
After they were at a considerably far distance, Ulrich then thought, "Wait, shouldn't we follow her."
Peter palmed himself for their combine stupidity and yelled a curse word in English, so no one can understand him.
He grabbed the phone and called Jeremie. "Yeah. You lost her! She threw a truck of gasoline at you guys? Well I can understand that. You need me to calculate how long it'll take her to get there. Alright, Rachel was already strong, and fast, add the enhancement that specters give…"
Jeremie crunched the numbers into the supercomputer (known as the supercalculator in the original French version) and said, "She's there now!"
Peter then said, "Impressive, the computer said that?" "Well it says she would be but the police scanner said a Japanese brunette is beating the holy loving crap out of the workers and can shoot lightning."
Ulrich then asked, "Should we teleport, and can you buy us some time?"
"No, teleport." "Alright bye Jeremie."
Peter just thought and the two of them were at the power plant, behind Rachel.
"Alright Peter, rather then running in there blindly we should plan…"
Peter started charging and yelling a battle cry after "Alright…" Rachel turned around and gave Peter a solid jab in the face, sending him flying and crashing into the wall headfirst.
Ulrich palmed his for forehead, then grabbed a pipe and, since Rachel was distracted manage to knock her down.
More monsters formed, this time a small army of kankerlots and hornets. Acid squirted at Conan and Odd, causing them to roll away. "Laser arrow!" Odd called out, firing an arrow head into the Eye. The monster exploded, but a piece of debris managed to hit Conan in the head. "OW! That hurt!"
"That never happened before," commented Yumi, truly curious about what just happened…which gave X.A.N.A. enough time to make a megatank, and have it devirtulize her.
The chamber of the scanner opened, Yumi slammed her fist on the side. She ran to the elevator and got into the computer room. "How are the guys?" she asked, "Which ones? Peter and Ulrich, or the team on Lyoko?"
"Both." "On Lyoko, pretty good." Jeremie started, clicking a button, opening a window allowing them to see the team.
Conan's weapon was back at full power, probably thinking of something positive to bring its power up, Alieta managed to trick the megatank into destroying the kankerlots (which isn't that hard a feat) and Odd was beginning to snipe the hornets.
"And the other two?" Jeremie hacked into the power plant's cameras, Peter managed to force himself out of the wall, Rachel stood up and tossed Ulrich into Peter.
Peter then cursed in English, surprisingly in a voice of a British actor. "Why does he sound like Tim Curry?" Yumi asked. "I assume it's because he received too many hits to the head."
Peter then asked in his alternate voice, "Why are you causing me brain damage, I mean, we both are your enemies, why spend all your time after me?"
"This is for mocking X.A.N.A." replied Rachel. Rachel then delivered a solid punch to Ulrich's head, causing him to stumble a little.
"Huh, I feel like I forgot some kind of embarrassing event I hate to mention." "How you have some recollection of it." Peter questioned.
"Well I remember somewhat in context, but not the event itself." Ulrich answered. "Is it that pool attack Odd told me about?"
"Gees that a lot Peter," Ulrich said sarcastically. Due to the fact they were distracted, Rachel kicked Ulrich to the floor and slammed Peter into a wall.
Ulrich jumped back up, seeing Rachel walking towards the core. Ulrich sprinted, grabbed her and threw away from the radioactive core. "Peter take care of her!"
"Ceart go leoar." "Oh great that last hit on the head got you stuck speaking Irish."
Rachel tried to tackle Ulrich but Peter grabbed her collar and said, "Tá sé seo le haghaidh throwing mé isteach i mballa!" He slammed her into the wall. Rachel stood up and gave a solid jab in the middle of his forehead.
Peter spat out some blood and said, in his own voice, in French, "Thanks for fixing me." Peter said, before tossing Rachel into Ulrich who kicked her in the stomach.
Jeremie sighed as the tides changed for his friends.
Conan was facing off against a megatank himself. The monster opened its shell, the laser charging. 'Wait for it,' Conan thought, 'Wait for it…' The laser was fired. As Conan leaped out of the way, he called out, "Now Alieta!" Alieta managed, to fuse her energy fields to block the laser.
Conan then created his orbs and added them to Alieta's energy field. "Throw it!" Alieta yelled, as the two of them pushed the orb into the beast.
The megatank closed its armor, but the orbs seemed to have absorbed the energy from the laser. The ball of energy collided into the monster.
When it hit the armor, nothing happened at first. Then the armor started to glow a bright white color. "It's gonna blow!" Jeremie yelled into the microphone.
"Hit the dirt!" Conan yelled, as everyone leaped to the ground. The megatank exploded, debris of the monster fell around them…then a huge chunk landed and crushed Odd.
"Didn't see that coming," Alieta said, standing up. Now all that was left was an army of kankerlots.
Rachel got back up and grabbed both boys by their throats. She shoved them against the wall, tore off some pieces of iron and tied the boys up in it.
"Crap! I can't break out," Ulrich yelled as he struggled. "Me neither!"
Rachel walked down the stairs and made it to the core. She placed her hands over it.
Conan made a couple of orbs and kicked them into the center of the cluster, as Alieta made it to the tower.
His job done, Conan let the monsters send him back to the real world.
He quickly went up the elevator. "How are the others doing?"
"Not good, Rachel tied them up in iron, and got to the core." "Oh no!"
Rachel began to absorb the energy from the nuclear core that powers the suburb and the neighboring suburbs. Her skin was beginning to peel, revealing an amalgamation of energy glowing out. The camera shorted out.
"Alieta hurry up!" Conan yelled into the microphone on Jeremie's headset. "Rachel is absorbing the energy!" Alieta started to float up the platform.
More of Rachel's skin fell off, revealing more energy, causing the building to black out, only the contained energy in Rachel lighting the room.
Alieta lands on the top platform. Alieta placed her hand on the digital pad. Alieta typed in the code, LYOKO.
"Tower deactivated." The energy in Rachel flew out, shorting the building out. She fell down, knocked out, but alive. "Return to the past now." I white orb of energy engulfed everything, resetting the day back to the beginning.
