A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-129 PLUS THE OVA FIRST SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! Actually, I probably don't need this anymore since Xana is Xana…
A/N Ok, starting the series back up. I'll be putting the Code Xana Episodes up still but remember they happen after 119 and not 119X. Everything after 119X does not happen in the Code Xana world! This is just me not being able to stop writing about our favorite Lyoko Warriors!
Jim is working on the Hermitage. The gutters had fallen off years before and needed replaced. As Jim works he is reminded of the time he was working on This Old House. He looks around and sees no one. "Aw, I'd really like to talk about it and no one is around."
"Don't say that." Jim looks around. "Over here." Jim looks and sees Ulrich walking over from the other side of the roof.
"Ulrich, what are you doing here?" Jim reaches for his phone but Ulrich uses his Xana powers to destroy it.
"I am here to make Sissi happy." Ulrich continues walking over to Jim when he stops less then a meter away.
"Ulrich, why would you want to make her happy? You hate her."
"No, I used to hate her. Now she has shown me the true power she gave me and I must make her happy!" Xana's symbol appears in Ulrich's eyes as he transforms into Xanafied Lyoko Ulrich.
"Ulrich stop this!" Jim starts to climb down the ladder when Ulrich kicks the ladder and Jim falls backwards onto the ground. "Ouch, ow, Ulrich, stop this." Jim gets up and feels pain in his back.
"What are you doing?" Sanne heard a commotion and leaves the Hermitage.
"Sanne, get back." Jim tries to warn her but Ulrich sees her and sends an energy orb at her. It misses but starts a fire. Sanne runs into the house and gets her phone and a fire extinguisher. She puts the fire out as Samantha comes from the second floor.
"What happened?"
"Samantha get to the Factory!"
"What? You plan on deactivating a Tower?" Ulrich laughs. "There is no Tower I am doing this to please my master. Sissi, yes, she'd love to have the head of an enemy to hang over her mirror." Ulrich throws another energy orb at Sanne who sticks the fire extinguisher up to block it. The fire extinguisher explodes sending metal and CO2 everywhere.
"Sanne!" Jim runs past Ulrich to get to Sanne who was bleeding from shrapnel. "Samantha, help Sanne get to the Factory, there has to be a Tower." Jim didn't believe Ulrich would act like this and was right.
In the Factory Jeremie is working on making a new program. He had gotten fed up with making the Super Scan go through Sector 5 and made a new scan that would just sit on the Tower in Sector 5. He launches it and hears a beeping noise. "Well, I guess that means it works." Jeremie gets his phone out and calls Aelita who was working on homework. "Activated Tower, Sector 5."
"What? You got it to work?"
"I sure did. Xana won't be able to do another sneak attack on us again."
"Ok, I'll call Yumi and my Mom." Aelita and Jeremie hang up and make the calls.
"I knew it, Ulrich, Xana's been able to posses Ulrich. I'll call Jim and tell him. Samantha is with me, just make sure you get to the Factory." Sanne hangs up and calls Jim. "Xana's possessed Ulrich, get out of there!"
"I'll try." Jim hangs up his phone. "So, you really think we'd believe Ulrich would do this on his own?"
"You found the Tower, good job. But it won't save you." Ulrich hits Jim with an energy blast. "You won't escape this fight alive." Ulrich charges his hands. "Xana has given me the orders to kill you."
Back at Kadic Academy Sissi was sitting in her room waiting for Ulrich to get back from the soda machines. "What is taking him so long? If I have to do it myself I'll make him pay." Sissi tries to connect to Ulrich, her slave, but finds a block. "Xana, he's done something to my pet. I'll, no, not strong enough, yet for that. But Ulrich is my pet he will obey me not Xana!" Sissi morphs into Xanafied Lyoko Sissi and flies through the wall of her dorm room like a ghost and looks for Ulrich. It was easy since the energy Ulrich gave off was like a beacon to Sissi.
Ulrich has Jim hurt and scared. Jim tried to get away through the sewer entrance at the Hermitage but Ulrich stopped him. "Beg for mercy."
"Will it stop you?" Jim has given up. Ulrich was to strong now all Jim could do was keep Ulrich from getting to the others.
"No." Ulrich reaches down with his right hand and wraps it around Jim's neck. He pushes his thumb down on Jim's wind pipe. Jim makes some noises as he tries to breathe but soon his eyes roll back into his head and the noises stop.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Sissi flies down to Ulrich. "And what have you done to Jim?"
"Something you wouldn't do, I killed him."
"I never ordered you to kill him! I don't want any of them to die." Sissi sticks her hand out towards Ulrich and the shock collar appears.
"I did! You are my Knight and you should listen to me!" Xana breaks the shock collar around Ulrich's neck. "Get to Lyoko now!" A portal opens up and Sissi follows orders. Ulrich leans down to Jim. "He is dead, time to take my trophy to Sanne." Ulrich rips Jim's head off and starts down the sewer entrance whistling.
Sanne and the others have made it to the Factory. "Jim won't answer his phone so I'm guessing Ulrich is winning. Get to Lyoko, I'll send the Transporter, then get to the Tower." Sanne sets up the Transfer Program as the others get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Sandra, Transfer Samantha, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Sandra, Scanner Samantha, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko. "Transfer Jeremie, Transfer Odd, Transfer Aelita, Scanner Jeremie, Scanner Odd, Scanner Aelita, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko near the edge of the Ice Sector. "Sending the Transporter now." She enters the code SCIPIO and soon the Transporter takes the group to Sector 5.
"Uh, my stomach." Odd and S.S. put hands on their stomachs.
"When the room stops run and look for the switch. I can't see into the rest of the Sector, Xana's locked me out." Sanne types on the keyboard looking for a way around this when she hears the beeping of the alarm. When she looks through the security cameras she sees Jim's face but it is wrong. "Jim, he can't be that close." Jim's face moves away and now Sanne sees Ulrich floating in front of the camera with Jim's head in his right hand. "Oh, no, Jim." Sanne feels tears well up in her eyes. She liked Jim, he was a good guy, a bit of a goof but he protected her from a possessed Ulrich and had paid for it. She hears the crash noises of the elevator as it hits the bottom of the elevator shaft. "Guys, I can't stay here, Ulrich, he…" An explosion knocks Sanne out of the chair as Ulrich blasts through the elevator doors.
"Hello Sanne." Ulrich raises the arm with Jim's head. "Say hello to Jim Morales. Just know he didn't beg for mercy."
"Like you'd give mercy to anyone Xana!" Sanne shakes with fear and anger. She is afraid of what Xana will make Ulrich do next and angry for what had been done to Jim. "I won't go down without a fight."
"You couldn't fight me Sanne you're to weak now that you have escaped from me." Ulrich charges his hands with energy. "I could kill you where you stand but Xana wants me to destroy the others and get them to Earth so I can kill them." Ulrich breaks apart into a black mist and enters the Super Computer to go to Lyoko. Sanne finds the headset and yells into it.
"Be careful Ulrich went to Lyoko!" She drops the head set and goes over to the severed head of Jim. "No, damn, you're not dead this is a trick it has to be." She looks at the head then reaches and takes the band aid off to reveal a tiny tattoo that very few knew about. She looks closely at it and sees it is his military tattoo. "But, Xana, he couldn't know Jim was in the 9th Black Ops, no one but the government knows that." Sanne runs a finger over the tattoo. "This is you." She takes a deep breath as she stops the tears in her eyes. "I haven't lost you, Xana made a mistake." Sanne sets the head down and leaves the Factory for the Hermitage.
Back on Lyoko in Sector 5 the Lyoko Warriors find the switch unguarded. "Be careful Yumi!" S.S. yells up to Yumi who is using her skills in gymnastics to get up to the switch.
"I'm good." Yumi hits the switch and the room changes and a door opens. Yumi jumps down and runs with the others through the door and find Sissi and Ulrich. But they are not waiting for the group they are fighting!
"I never wanted them to die!" Sissi blasts Ulrich with an energy blast.
"You're refusing my orders, how!?" Ulrich sends an energy bolt at Sissi but misses. "I made you my knight and yet you refuse my orders!"
"You promised me my mother!" Sissi gets her axe out. "I want my mother!" Sissi does a Super Sprint at Ulrich but he gets his swords out and blocks the attack.
"You'll have her when I control Earth! This mutiny will not be forgotten!" Ulrich and Sissi fight as the others walk around slowly trying not to get the attention of the two.
"Mutiny? You went around me and used Ulrich to kill Jim! I never wanted that!"
"What?" The others look at each other. "Mom, what happened to Jim?" No response.
"Don't worry I'm sure this is a trick." Jeremie taps Aelita's hand. He wanted to hold it but can't with his arms.
"Maybe, come on while we can." Aelita and the others run down a hall looking for the Tower.
"They're getting away!" Ulrich blocks Sissi's axe with a sword then strikes her with the other. He hits her again and again until finally she is devirtualized back to Earth. "They'll never make it." He does a Super Sprint and catches up to the group and immediately destroys S.S.
"Ulrich stop this!" Yumi gets her fans out. "We don't want to fight you."
"I do." Ulrich destroys Yumi sending her back to Earth. "When all of you are on Earth I will kill you like I killed Jim."
"That's a lie you didn't kill him!" Samantha throws a dagger at Ulrich who blocks it with a sword.
"I tore his head off and gave it to Sanne. Something to remember him by." Ulrich laughs and destroys Samantha.
"No, you, you won't get away with this Xana." Jeremie fires lasers at Ulrich but he blocks them with his swords.
"Do you try to bore me or hurt me?" Ulrich walks towards Jeremie ready to strike when he is hit from behind by nothing! "Aelita, damn you!" Ulrich swings a sword behind him but hits nothing. He is still able to block Jeremie's lasers with only one sword but now Odd fires Speed Arrows at Ulrich. He blocks Jeremie and Odd with each sword but is hit by the claws of an invisible Aelita. She punches him again and again using her claws every time but it doesn't seem to hurt him. "Heh heh, that tickles." Xana starts to use an energy attack but Aelita backs away and it misses.
"Aelita just get to the Tower!" Jeremie fires more lasers as Odd fires Speed Arrows.
"Yes, run, so I know where you are!" Aelita's footsteps give her away and Xana sends an energy bolt at where he thinks she is but hits nothing. He fires more energy bolts but doesn't seem to be able to hit her.
"Shimmer." Aelita appears for a second then runs into the activated Tower.
"Tricky, she fooled me, but you will do a return making me stronger!" Xana explodes with energy destroying Jeremie and Odd sending them back to Earth.
"Ow, did he have to do that?" Odd touches his face and his fingers come back with blood on them.
"Tower deactivated. Mom, are you there?" There is no response. She had taken the ladder to leave the Factory and go to the Hermitage. "Return to the past now." The white bubble comes up and reverses time.
"Jim?" Aelita and the others run into the Hermitage and see Jim's body on the floor of the kitchen. The return has gone back to when he was making lunch for Sanne and Samantha. "No, Jim." Aelita and the others go over to him and find he really is dead. "No, mom, Mom!" Aelita yells but gets no response. "No, if, my mom can't be dead." Aelita starts to cry as she runs up the stairs to her mom's room. When she slams the door open she sees…
"Aelita learn to knock." Sanne is picking up something from a pillow on the bed.
"Mom, Jim, he, what are you doing?"
"Jim may have been killed but he won't stay dead. I have his hair from when he was alive I will bring him back." Sanne has about twelve hairs in her hand when she walks to the door.
"But, why, why were they on the pillow on your bed?"
"Aelita dear isn't it obvious?" Aelita's eyes get wide. "He borrows that pillow when he sleeps on the couch." Sanne smiles.
"But, how can you joke? Jim's body, in the kitchen, how can you not care?" Aelita is still crying but is getting mad at her mother.
"Didn't you hear me? I'm bringing him back." Sanne shows the hairs in her hand to Aelita. "Don't cry he'll be back good as new. Xana made the same mistake he made with Samantha." Sanne pats Aelita on the head with her other hand then kisses her on the forehead. Sanne and Aelita go down stairs. "Come on kids don't cry Jim will be right back in about twenty minutes."
"What? Sanne, he's dead, not even the Scanners can bring him back." Jeremie has his glasses off to wipe his eyes as he cries.
"I have hair of his from when he was alive. It should be from last night so there won't be that much of a time difference." Sanne leaves the Hermitage with Aelita and the others follow when they recover from the shock.
A few minutes later Sanne puts the hair in the middle Scanner. "Ok honey do a scan." The doors close and seconds later Jim falls out of them and flat on his face.
"Why didn't you catch him?" Aelita and the others saw it on the cameras.
"You catch him." Sanne kneels down next to Jim. "Jim, are you ok?"
"What happened?" Jim's last memory was falling asleep on the couch breathing in the smell of Sanne's fragrance that lingered on it.
"You died." Jim looks around wildly. "Its ok we brought you back. No one knows you died but us so you can go back to Kadic Academy."
"Ulrich, he, he was possessed right?"
"Yes, Xana possessed him. Sissi didn't seem too happy with it." Aelita laughs a little. "I wonder if Xana will punish Sissi for fighting him."
"What? They fought?" Aelita nods. "But, if she is his Knight she shouldn't be able to fight his orders." Sanne can't believe what she has heard.
"She said she never wanted one of us to die." This gives Aelita hope about an idea she had. She didn't want to believe that Sissi was as evil as she seemed. She wanted to believe that Sissi did it to get power to fight Xana but had to follow Xana's orders. "Jim, I'm glad you're back, we all are."
"Thanks Aelita, Sanne, everyone." Jim stands up. "Uh, what are we going to do with, you know, my, my other body."
"Bury it." Sanne's decision was very clear. "Come on Jim I'll help with the gutters while you dig the hole."
"What? I have to bury my own body? Doesn't that seem a little…" Jim tries to think of a word for it.
"Twisted? Crazy? Wrong? I'll dig the hole." Odd says this through the headset on Aelita's head.
"Thanks Odd." Jim did not want to see his body. "Well, who is ready for some Jimbo Jumbo Sandwiches?"
"I am!" Odd goes to the elevator and waits for Sanne and Jim to take it up to the Control Room before getting on. The others get on and leave the Factory for the Hermitage. Samantha, Odd, and Yumi bury the body as Jim and Sanne make sandwiches for the kids.
A/N Ah yes, another dead warrior brought back with DNA from when they were alive. The difference between William Zombie and Jim/Samantha. William was dead, Yumi scanned a dead body, Samantha/Jim had live cells used so came back alive. Now you're wondering why do I keep killing characters off. Well, you see, Xana is human, human's learn from past mistakes…
