Back at the school, Sammy had just finished her last exam and was on her way to the dorms to work on the photo she took. Careful not to run into Jim, who had been patrolling the hallways to find any absentees, she snuck into her room, uploaded the photo onto her computer, and after a half hour of careful editing, she pulled out her cellphone and texted Rumiko to come to her room so that she could show her something. A few minutes later, Rumiko arrived.
"Alright, Sammy." She said impatiently. "What is it that you want now?"
"There's something I think you should see." She said handing her the picture. "Take a look."
Rumiko looked at the picture and saw Calvin and his friends walking outside.
"I found them cutting class and I was hoping you could help me in turning them in." Sammy said.
"You know I would never turn against my own little brother, no matter the circumstances." Rumiko said. "Besides, you're the one with the evidence. Why can't you turn him in yourself?"
"Because I was going to make you a deal." She said.
"What kind of deal?" Rumiko said.
"Turn in Stern and his friends and I'll leave him alone for good." Sammy said. Rumiko thought for a second.
"I don't believe you." She said
"You really want to take that chance?" She asked. "How do you think Stern, who is so good with his own emotions, would take it if you found out you turned down the chance to get his greatest tormentor off his back forever?"
"You wouldn't." Rumiko said and thought some more. "Alright, I'll do it."
"Good choice." Sammy said. She then turned around and gave a quick smile to herself.
Back in the boys' dormitories, Jim was still patrolling the halls when he heard a commotion coming from one of the rooms. Jim opened the door and found Dennis, still tied to the bed, struggling to get free.
"Dunbar!" Jim shouted as he removed the piece of tape from his mouth. "How on Earth did you tie yourself to your bed?"
"I didn't, now get me out." Dennis said.
"Alright, just quit moving." Jim said pulling a small pocket knife from his pocket and began slicing at the ropes. "Lucky for you, I was an assistant for an escape artist at the circus."
"You worked at the circus, Jim?" Dennis asked.
"Yes, but I'd rather not talk about it." Jim said cutting the last rope. "There, that should do it. Now get to class."
"Yes sir." Dennis said as he grabbed his stuff and headed out. But not to class, he had to get to the factory and help his friends.
Back on Lyoko, Ami and Antea, were continuing to be held off by the IceDogs. They kept trying to keep them at bay while at the same time avoiding the attacks of XANA's Wrath.
"There's to may of them!" Ami said. "And we're practically powerless."
"Powers, that's it!" Antea exclaimed. "We may have no weapons, but we still have our powers. That alone can still buy us more time."
"But what can I do?" Ami asked. "All I can do is go through walls."
"But I can control minds, remember?" Antea said. "I can take control of one of the IceDogs, and use it to hold off the rest."
"And I can keep XANA's Wrath busy while we wait for backup." Ami said. Antea then extended her arm and began to take control of the first IceDog.
Back in the lab, Calvin and Sam were still trying to hold of XANA before he could do anymore harm. Calvin continued to attack, but XANA dodged his every attack. Sam then came from behind and tried to swing at him, but XANA moved out of the way and instead, Calvin received the blow. XANA then generated more lightning from his hand as he approached the two of them.
"A cheap sneak attack? Is that the best strategy you humans can formulate?" XANA asked. "Now to exterminate you and take down your precious frie..." However, he was interrupted when he was struck with a blast of electricity from behind and immediately evaporated (for lack of a better word). Standing in his place was Dennis holding a taser which he put in his pocket.
"Sorry I'm late, guys." He said. "You could say I was 'tied up' with something."
"Glad your here, now send me to Lyoko. The others are in trouble." Calvin said heading towards the elevator.
"Um, you're welcome!" Dennis shouted. As Calvin stepped into the scanner, Dennis began the virtualization procedure.
"By the way, where did you get the taser?" Sam asked.
"William Jr. gave it to me as a Christmas present when I was 15. It was the best thing he's ever done for me." Dennis said. "Transfer Calvin."
"Scanner Calvin."
"Virtualization!"
Back on Lyoko, the remaining two were still trying to fend off the IceDogs. Antea managed to control one and keep the rest back, but she was already losing a lot of energy from it.
"How are you doing back there?" She asked Ami.
"Not so good." She said dodging each projectile that XANA's Wrath sent her way. "I can't keep running forever."
"And I don't know how long I can..." Just then, a staff fell from above and shattered one of the IceDogs. Calvin then fell to the ground beside his staff and grabbed it. He then ran to the other two IceDogs and destroyed them with one swing.
"Way to go, Calvin!" Ami said.
"Alright, this one's yours." Antea said relinquishing control of the last IceDog. Calvin then struck the last one which destroyed it.
"Well that's over." Calvin said. "What were those things, anyway?"
"Don't you remember?" Antea asked.
"Of course he doesn't, he was sick that day." Ami said.
"We'll explain later." Antea said. "Right now, let's just focus on XANA's Wrath."
"What's XANA's Wrath?" Calvin asked.
"That." Ami said pointing to the giant monster they had been fighting at.
"So how do we destroy it?" Calvin asked.
Back on Earth, Dennis was examining the damage that XANA had done. Unknown to him, another spectre of XANA's came out, this time taking the form of Sam. The spectre then grabbed the real Sam and threw him to the ground.
"Hey, Dennis. A little help here?" Sam said as XANA had him pinned to the ground preparing to strike. Dennis then turned around and ran up to XANA and knocked him off. XANA then got back up and shot Dennis to the ground.
"Dennis, are you all right?" Sam said helping him up.
"Don't listen to him." The other Sam said. "That's XANA not me."
"No, he's obviously XANA." The first Sam said.
"Alright, now I know where this is going." Dennis said. "Unfortunately, you've both underestimated my intellect. Sam #1, remember the time I told you you could operate the supercomputer once I graduate and Calvin was absent for some reason?"
"Of course not, it never happened." The first Sam said. "You said Antea would be in charge since she's the smartest aside from you two."
"Wrong!" Dennis said electrocuting the spectre as it faded away. "Antea doesn't even know how to operate a Linux server; her father tried to teach her but she didn't understand it. Sam on the other hand can be quite resourceful because his father worked in film editing and post-production; he taught Sam about it and he easily understood it."
"Glad you remembered." Sam said. "How did you know about Antea, though."
"You'd be surprised what a guy can learn about a girl in two weeks." Dennis said. "Now let's go."
Back on Lyoko, the rest had just explained to Calvin about XANA's Wrath's weakness.
"...And we only have one shot at this." Antea said. "I have my energy field, Ami has her remaining knife, and you can throw your staff at the remaining spot I hope."
"Well, you see." Calvin said. "I never had a good arm when it came to throwing."
"What?" Antea said. "Great, were doomed."
"Not quite." Calvin said as he stepped back, took a running start, and used his high jump to land on the monster's foot.
"What are you doing?" Ami asked.
"I'm gonna climb to the top and attack it head on." Calvin said.
"But you're afraid of heights." Antea said. "What if something happens?"
"I know." Calvin said. "But I would climb a 500-story building if it meant saving the world and you."
"Aww... How sweet." Sam, who had overheard the conversation, said.
"Shut up will you?" Calvin said as he climbed up the monster.
As he got higher, the monster was sending more lasers and projectiles towards the other two.
"Ami, get behind me!" Antea shouted as she drew an energy field and used it as a shield.
Calvin continued scaling the side of the monster; he was already halfway and he couldn't stop now. He then looked down and got incredibly tense. He then started to lose his grip.
"Come on, Calvin! Keep going, you're almost there!" Ami shouted to him. "Just don't look down!"
"Come on, you can do it!" Antea said. "Just put one foot in front of the other!"
Then, out of nowhere, Calvin found the strength to continue going.
"There you go, just a little more!" Antea said as Calvin continued to climb until finally, he reached the bottom eye on the monster's body.
"I'm there. Now aim for the top and middle ones." Calvin said as he aimed his staff at the center of the eye. Ami threw her remaining knife and Antea shot a blast of energy.
"This time it's personal." Calvin said as he spun around and slammed his staff right into the first eye right when the other two were hit. The monster then glowed a bright white and exploded in a tremendous explosion, devirtualizing Calvin, but not harming Antea and Ami due to an energy field that had been placed around them in the last second. XANA's Wrath was no more.
"It's over, guys." Antea said to Dennis and Sam. "We destroyed XANA's Wrath."
Sam and Dennis just cheered wildly.
"Alright, now get to the tower." Dennis said.
"Got it." Antea said.
As Calvin stepped out of the scanner, he proceeded towards the elevator, but stopped when he found himself standing face to face with another of XANA's spectres which took the form of Dennis.
"This isn't over." He said grabbing Calvin by the shirt. "Not as long as I'm still alive!"
Antea then arrived at the tower and walked across the first floor; she then floated up to the second floor.
XANA then shot a blast of lightning at the elevator doors and the doors opened. Still holding Calvin, he went towards the open doors and proceeded to throw him down the elevator shaft.
On the second floor of the tower, Antea placed her hand on the screen and entered Code: Lyoko.
Before XANA could throw Calvin down, he disappeared and Calvin fell to the floor he then got up and summoned the elevator.
Back in the lab, everyone was going over what had just happened.
"So, does this mean we did it?" Ami asked.
"Yeah!" Sam shouted. "XANA has left the building!"
"Not quite, guys." Dennis said. "We still have the ANAX Program to finish which will destroy XANA and Calvin's virus, allowing us to shut down the supercomputer."
"But we have plenty of time for that, right?" Antea said.
"Of course." Dennis said. "With all of XANA's 'master plan' towers deactivated, he'll probably focus on destroying us with such menial attacks while he thinks of what to do next. Now come on, let's get back to the school and celebrate."
"Right." Sam said. "Especially with the end of the year dance coming tonight."
"That's right." Ami said. "You're still going with Antea, right Calvin?"
"Of course, and Dennis is going with Rumiko." Calvin said. "Now all we have to do is get ready."
"I wish I was old enough to go. It sounds like fun." Ami said. "Oh well, I can wait a year."
"But don't forget, Ami, our band's opening for the dance." Sam said. "So you'll at least be there for a half hour."
"Oh yeah, I forgot."
"Well, why are we just standing here?" Dennis said. "Let's go."
They then headed back up, feeling elated that their greatest adversary had finally been conquered.
The End

NOT!
Back in Carthage, XANA was sitting in his lair. He then got up and walked to a larger than average tower right adjacent to the Core of Lyoko. Unknown to the Lyoko Warriors, XANA had activated this tower along with the other towers he was using for his master plan. (A/N: Why they didn't notice it before? I'll explain soon enough).
"Fools." XANA said as he headed back to his lair.
Also, Brandon, yes, I did borrow elements from a couple episodes for these chapters, just as I did for previous chapters if you'd paid attention, it's not like it's a direct copy or anything, (and actually I saw it more like 'Double Trouble' than 'Franz Hopper'). Hopefully, this doesn't make my story less enjoyable and if it does, well I still have effin with me. Oh, and I didn't mean to sound rude there, that's just how I sound sometimes. And yes, I have a tendency to make paragraph-long responses to such sort observations, I'm not good with leaving details out.
