A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-134 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!
Odd is in Jeremie's room. The next day he would be going back to class. He had caught up on the homework that he missed and was eating like a normal person. He lies on the cot staring at the ceiling after waking up from a dream. He looks over and sees Jeremie is still sleeping. Odd gets up to wash his face and try to get over the dream. It was the moment S.S. died playing over and over again. He quietly gets up and leaves the room. As he walks to the boy's shower room he is stopped by Sissi. "Odd, I have an offer for you."
"What? Go away Sissi." Odd knows that Sissi and Ulrich have left Xana's control but isn't sure where they stood now.
"No, you'll want to hear this. If you and your friends join me and Ulrich in the war against Xana I'll bring S.S. back." Odd turns on Sissi and pushes her up against the wall.
"Don't toy with me Sissi I'll kill you!"
"I'm not toying with you Odd I can bring her back, I know how. Sanne, she, she is good for a human but I know something she doesn't." Sissi smiles as Odd lets her go. "Only if your friends join me will you get her back."
"They won't."
"Make them. Convince them. You love her don't you?" Sissi puts a hand on the side of Odd's head and moves her fingers through his hair. "I'll come back after classes tomorrow for your answer." Sissi walks away from Odd going back to the stairs to go to her room.
"No, I can't, can I?" Odd sits down in the hallway thinking about it. Could Sissi really bring S.S. back? If she could he would do anything to have her back and would join Sissi but the others, he doubts they would. He sits in the hallway and falls asleep.
That morning Jeremie wakes up and sees Odd is missing. "He must have wanted to get a shower early." Jeremie yawns, tries to wake up, then gets ready for a shower. As he walks to the boys' shower room he sees Odd hunched over sitting on the floor against the wall. "Odd? Odd, are you ok?" Jeremie shakes him and gets hit with morning breath when Odd yawns.
"Uh, Jeremie, how did I get out here?" Odd looks around then remembers what Sissi told him. "Jeremie, uh, I'll wait till breakfast." Odd gets up and goes back to Jeremie's room to get clean clothes and toiletries for a shower.
At breakfast in the cafeteria Odd tells the others what Sissi told him. "No Odd we can't do that."
"But, S.S., we'll get S.S. back!" Odd hadn't touched his breakfast yet. "Please, if we join her we can get S.S. back."
"How do you know this isn't a trick? How could Sissi have found a way to bring her back? Xana erased her." Jeremie couldn't think of a way this could be real. Sissi was after something.
"Please, Aelita, you want her back right?"
"I do Odd but I was controlled by someone before and I don't want that again. I'm sorry."
"Some cousin you are." Odd pushes his tray away. "Tell the teachers I'm not going to class." Odd leaves the cafeteria and heads for the Hermitage.
"Did he really think we would join Sissi? It's a trick he knows it's a trick he just doesn't want to believe it." Jeremie sighs and takes the orange from Odd's tray.
"What if it isn't a trick?" Yumi wondered what she would do if she was offered with something like this. If Sissi offered her Ulrich if she joined Sissi. "Its not like we'd be joining Xana is it? She hates Xana as much as we do."
"We still can't do it. It is too dangerous for us to let Sissi be the leader."
"Maybe, but, what if, what if we negotiate with her?"
"No." Jeremie and Aelita are firm on this. But maybe Odd will have better luck at the Hermitage.
Jim is already at Kadic Academy for work but Sanne and Samantha are at the Hermitage. "Samantha, I, Sissi came to me last night." They are in Samantha's room.
"What did she want?"
"She, she says she can bring S.S. back but we have to join her."
"Just us? Odd shakes his head.
"No the whole group. The others already said no but, maybe, if two of us join her then S.S., that would work."
"Odd I'm, I don't know. I miss S.S. but to join Sissi?"
"She wants us to join her to fight Xana! We aren't joining someone who is evil. Please Samantha I need this." Odd had been fighting tears until now. "I need S.S."
"Odd, I, I can't." Samantha hugs Odd. "You're my friend Odd but we can't be joining Sissi. Look at what she makes Ulrich do. He has to follow her orders."
"I know and I don't care." Odd pushes Samantha away. "I want S.S. back and if none of you will join her I'll have to do my best by myself." Odd gets off of Samantha's bed and leaves.
"Odd, please don't do this. You're my friend, you're, and you might be more." Samantha goes to her window and watches Odd run away. "Xana hurt him so much what will happen if he joins Sissi and she doesn't bring S.S. back?"
Later that day after classes Odd is waiting in Sissi's room. When she opens her door she is surprised. "I thought I locked my door."
"You did, I picked it." Odd walks over to Sissi. "I want to join you but the others won't. I, if you bring back S.S. then that will mean two people joining you."
"Odd, I want the whole group. But if they refuse to join you I understand." Sissi breaths out slowly. "I know you're unsure of me, of my intentions. They are nothing but pure. I want Xana dead. I can't do it alone and Ulrich is not enough. To prove to your friends I mean nothing but the best I will bring S.S. back for you but," Sissi smiles. "I will need an activated Tower and you will have to do the hard work."
"Sissi, I, the last time you used the Super Computer you damaged the programs."
"I did? I did not mean to. Odd, I need an activated Tower to do what I am planning then you need to, wait." Sissi's ears twitch. "Xana, he is listening. Come with me." Sissi grabs Odd's hand and pixelizes both. They leave her dorm room and escape to the sewers.
"Odd?" Jeremie was hoping to see Odd but he isn't in the dorm room. "He better be ok." Jeremie sets down Odd's homework then calls Odd, no answer. "Odd don't do anything stupid." Jeremie sits down at his desk and starts on his homework.
Half an hour later Odd and Sissi are in the Control Room at the Factory. "Sissi are you sure this will work?" Odd has a rope tied to his waist. The rope was tied to a rafter and the slack was on the floor.
"No but it should. If you want S.S. back this is what you have to do." Sissi goes through and activates a Tower. Soon a portal opens in the Factory. "Odd hurry I don't know how long this will remain open. Just get some of her hair, spit, anything." Odd nods and steps through the portal.
"Aaaa!" He falls, and falls, and falls. It feels like forever when he drops out of another portal into a world that looks like Kadic Academy if it was on Lyoko. "How did she do this?" He looks down at himself, he is normal. "I have to find S.S." Odd runs through the Kadic Academy campus looking for the woman he loved.
"I have to protect this. If anyone else goes through this it will probably close." Sissi puts her hands up and camouflages the portal. "Hurry Odd I doubt they will let me explain." She knows the Super Scan would detect the Tower she activated.
"No, an attack. Odd is probably the target." Jeremie closes his lap top and calls his friends.
"I'm on my way." Yumi turns her phone off and leaves her room and runs into Ulrich! "Ulrich, what are you doing?"
"I have been sent by Sissi to tell you not to go to Lyoko. Odd will die if you deactivate the Tower."
"But, what? Jeremie said it was an attack."
"It isn't, Sissi activated a Tower to, I can't say."
"Why?"
"Because I don't know but if you and the others deactivate it Odd will die and there will be no hope of brining him back." Ulrich breaks apart into a black mist and leaves the Ishiyama home.
"No, it, it has to be a trick." Yumi doesn't believe Ulrich and continues to the Factory.
Sanne, Jim, and Samantha are the first to the Factory. When they get to the Control Room Sanne sees someone had been on the Super Computer. "No, someone activated the Tower from here, why?"
"Odd, no, he couldn't." Sanne and Jim turn to Samantha. "Uh, Odd, he said Sissi offered to bring S.S. back if Odd and the rest of us joined her."
"He must have given her the new password. She'll use it to control us. We have to get to Lyoko and deactivate the Tower." Sanne thinks about what to do with Odd. If he joined Sissi he would be the same as Ulrich. Even more like Ulrich if Odd did it to bring S.S. back as Ulrich did it to bring Aelita back. But if he didn't join Sissi should the group let him back in? He had betrayed them for something like Sissi did. He had also made a deal with Xana earlier which resulted in him leaving the group because his memories were modified.
As the three wait Ulrich tries to stop Aelita. If she didn't go they couldn't deactivate the Tower. "Aelita, Odd's life is at stake. You must not deactivate the Tower."
"Odd, he, we have to Ulrich."
"This isn't a Xana attack Sissi got the password to the Super Computer and activated a Tower."
"To do what?"
"It has something to do with bringing S.S. back. I'm not sure how Sissi is going to do it but if you deactivate the Tower we will lose Odd."
"How do I know you're not a polymorphic clone sent by Xana to stop me?"
"Because I won't hurt you. I know I lost your trust when I joined Sissi but please trust me." Ulrich pleads with Aelita but she decides to go to the Factory. Ulrich doesn't try to stop her.
"S.S.!" Odd yells but no response these people don't seem to know Odd is there. Odd walks to the dorm building and goes to S.S.'s room. No one is in there but he sees pictures, pictures of him and S.S. "She's alive in this world. Sissi, she sent me back in time to get hair from S.S.! She really did know how to bring her back! I, I have to join her for this." Odd leaves S.S.'s room and continues to look for her.
Aelita gets to the Factory and finds everyone else has already made it. "Maybe Ulrich was telling the truth." Yumi was telling the others about Ulrich's warning.
"The truth, about what?" Aelita steps off of the elevator.
"Yumi says Ulrich came to her and said not to deactivate the Tower because Sissi activated it."
"That's what he told me."
"And a Tower was activated from this control panel. It could be a trick or it could be Sissi activating a Tower. Either way we need to deactivate it."
"But Sissi said Odd's life was, if we, the Tower can't be deactivated if Odd will die."
"Yumi it has to be a trick. You're going to Lyoko and deactivating the Tower." Yumi sighs and accepts this. She and the others get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Jim, Transfer Jeremie, Transfer Yumi, Scanner Jim, Scanner Jeremie, Scanner Yumi, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Forest Sector. "Transfer Aelita, Transfer Samantha, Scanner Aelita, Scanner Samantha, Virtualization." They land next to the others as the vehicles appear. "Head east, you might have to fly over a couple sections and platforms but it is due east." The group gets on the different vehicles then take off.
In the other Kadic Academy Odd has made it to his old room. "Wow, Ulrich, he isn't controlled by Sissi." Odd sees a calendar and tries to figure out where S.S. would be. "Class?" He sees the clock. "No, too late for that. Where the hell is she?" Odd continues and decides to go to the Factory. As he runs he stops suddenly. "What?" He looks down then back. The rope Sissi said was needed to bring him back had run out. "If I leave it here I will find it." Odd unties it and continues running for the Factory.
On Lyoko the group is flying over a platform when something flies up to them. "Hello warriors." It is Lynnette!
"Oh crap Aelita back off." Jeremie flies over to her to keep him and Jim between Aelita and Lynnette.
"I am not here to fight you or stop you. Master Xana wants this Tower deactivated as soon as possible so sent me to help you."
"Like we can trust you?" Yumi gets a fan out.
"This time? Yes, you can. The traitors activated the Tower so Master Xana wants it deactivated."
"So Ulrich was telling the truth?" Yumi slows down as does Aelita.
"We don't know why they activated the Tower either but it can't be good." Jeremie goes as fast as the Overwing can not wanting to find out the Tower was activated to take control of Odd.
Odd however is happier then he has been in weeks. He has found S.S. on the roof of the Factory. A favorite hang out of his and S.S. Right now S.S. was with him and they were doing 'things'. "Whoa, that's what we look like when we do that?" Odd watches for a few seconds then shakes his head. "No, S.S., I need her hair." Odd goes over and waits for a chance to pull hair from S.S.'s head. When the other Odd's leg moves Odd reaches in and pulls several hairs out from S.S.'s head. "I have to get back." Odd runs and jumps off the Factory roof! When he lands it is just like when they were on Lyoko. "Glad that worked." Odd continues to run looking for the rope he had to use to find his way back to the portal.
"There it is." Lynnette takes the lead as the activated Tower comes into sight.
"And we have a welcoming committee." Sissi and Ulrich are in front of the Tower. Yumi revs the engine and gets to the Tower first. "What are you doing?"
"Stopping you from killing Odd." Ulrich gets his swords out.
"I, I believe you." Yumi knocks Samantha off the back of the Overbike then drives it over to Ulrich and Sissi.
"Yumi what are you doing? Did you join them?" Had the others been tricked? Odd wasn't the new member but Yumi was?
"No but I believe them. If you deactivate this Tower Odd will die." Yumi gets her fans out.
"Yumi, no, this is a trick! They used the Tower to do something to Odd!" Samantha yells but gets no response.
"I, I'm doing this to save Odd! Ulrich wouldn't lie to me!"
"Foolish girl he is a human he would do nothing but lie!" Lynnette gets her mace out. "I will take the female traitor the rest of you destroy the others." Lynnette flies at Sissi and their weapons clash as the Lyoko Warriors attack Yumi and Ulrich.
Odd finds his rope and starts following back to Kadic Academy. He makes sure to keep a tight hold on S.S.'s hair.
"Hai!" Yumi throws her fans at Jeremie and hits him but he isn't sent back to Earth. Samantha and Jim fight Ulrich but his powers give him the edge.
"Triplicate." Ulrich makes clones. "I'm sorry but I won't let you kill Odd."
"Like that's what you're doing." Samantha uses her daggers to block a sword as Jim uses his strength to grab Ulrich's other arm. Samantha kicks Ulrich in the stomach when a clone destroys her.
"No, Thunder Clap!" Jim's attack is useless as Ulrich's new clones with the power Sissi gave him are much harder to kill and they destroy Jim easily. This leaves Jeremie fighting Yumi and Lynnette fighting Sissi.
"Jeremie stop this! I don't want to hurt you!" Ulrich has the clones come back into him.
"We have to deactivate the Tower before Sissi does whatever it is she'd planning." Jeremie continues firing lasers at Yumi who is using her fans to block them.
"I'm trying to bring S.S. back!" Sissi pushes Lynnette away with a kick then swings her axe.
"We don't believe you. Why would Yumi turn on us?" Jeremie is getting frustrated.
"I didn't turn on you I'm trying to stop you from killing Odd." Yumi throws her fans at Jeremie but he shoots one out of the air and dodges the other one. He fires more at Yumi and hits her enough times to send her back to Earth. Seconds later Ulrich sends Jeremie back to Earth leaving Ulrich and Sissi to fight Lynnette.
Odd is following the rope through Kadic Academy knowing soon he would have S.S. back. All he had to do was get back to the portal then scan the hair he had and S.S. would be back.
"Ha you measly humans think you can fight me?" Lynnette was fighting off Sissi and Ulrich by herself and was doing well. "Master Xana improved an already superior Primate!" Lynnette swings her mace knocking Sissi's axe out of her hands then uses the momentum to spin around and slam the mace head into Sissi. Sissi is sent flying back over the edge.
"Sissi!" Ulrich runs to the edge but Sissi is fine. She uses her powers to fly back up then levitates her axe back to her.
"Come on Ulrich I wouldn't lose to a big smelly monkey."
"I am a Gorilla not a monkey!" Lynnette uses an energy blast to attack Sissi.
"Nice try monkey. I'd like to see how under control you are after using the energy Xana gave you enough times." Sissi had tried to limit her use of it as had Ulrich. If they used it a little there was no problem but massive amounts of energy usage corrupted their brains and might lead to permanent damage. Sissi floats down to the platform.
"I will have no problem as I am superior to you human scum!" Lynnette flies at Sissi and swings her mace. While Sissi and Lynnette fight Ulrich flies over to Aelita.
"Aelita don't go for the Tower. I don't want to hurt you."
"Ulrich, I, I can wait." Aelita lies to trick Ulrich. "Help Sissi I will wait." Ulrich flies over to Lynnette. "They better be lying." Aelita flies the Overboard over to the Tower then jumps off.
"Aelita no!" Sissi sees her and sends an energy bolt at her but Aelita gets in the Tower first. "She'll kill Odd!"
"No, Aelita, you said you would wait!"
Back in the other Kadic Academy Odd gets to the end of the rope. "I have to climb? Better put this in my pocket." Odd puts S.S.'s hair in his pocket then starts to climb up the rope. He climbs through the portal and enters the original world. As he steps out…
"Tower deactivated." The screens fall around Aelita and then she hears a scream.
"Aaaa!" Odd falls over as the portal closes and cuts his foot off. He lands next to Yumi, Jeremie, and Samantha.
"Odd!" Sanne hears his scream before seeing him. "What are you doing?"
"S.S., take this, scan it." Odd reaches into his pocket trying to ignore the pain.
"What is this?"
"S.S.'s hair. Scan it, bring her back!" Odd cringes as the pain gets to him.
"Jim, get up here and help Odd."
"Odd? Where is he?"
"In the Control Room with me. Hurry!" She hears the elevator run and then Jim runs off. "Take him and this," Sanne hands the hairs to Jim. "I, put that in the middle Scanner."
"Ok, I guess." Jim picks Odd up and takes the hair to the elevator. He takes it down to the Scanner Room and puts it in the middle Scanner then puts Odd in the left Scanner. The doors close and before they open Sissi and Ulrich come out as black mists then form.
"How could you, Odd is dead because of you!" Ulrich feels the energy start to build and tries to calm down.
"We didn't kill him he's in the Scanners right now." The doors open and Odd falls out of the Scanner but something else has caught Jim's attention. "S.S.?" She steps out of the Scanner.
"Whoa, how did I get here?" The last thing S.S. remembered was being on the roof of the Factory having some 'fun' with Odd. "Sissi, Jim? What are you doing here?"
"Hmmm, I sent him back really far." Sissi reaches for S.S. when Jim knocks her hands away.
"Leave her alone Sissi!"
"I'm the one who knew how to bring her back!" Sissi charges with energy and pushes Jim away. "Odd, here she is." As Odd stands up he sees S.S.
"Sandra, S.S., I, it worked." Odd hugs her and starts to cry.
"What happened?"
"This." Sissi reaches out and touches S.S. on the side of the head and months of memories flood S.S. She starts to shake as the memories overwhelm her.
"Hold on to me S.S." S.S.'s arms wrap around Odd as she continues to shake. She cries as the memories show her being shot.
"I, I died."
"But I brought you back." Sissi smiles. "Odd, I know I said I wanted you and the others to join me but this is reward enough. I did a lot of evil under Xana's control I need to do good or I'll go to hell if Xana kills me." Sissi turns to Ulrich. "I think this makes up for what I've done to you."
"Sissi I already told you I forgave you."
"Yes but you hate it when we make love."
"Because that isn't love!" The shock collar activates.
"No yelling Ulrich." Sissi and Ulrich break apart into black mists and disappear.
"S.S., how much do you know?" Odd continues holding her.
"Everything, including the part where no one remembers me, not even my parents. Why did you bring me back?"
"Because I love you."
"But I have nowhere to go."
"Yes you do." Sanne's voice comes over the intercom. "You'll stay at the Hermitage."
"But, the only room left is mine." Aelita says this on Lyoko since Sanne hadn't gotten around to bringing her back.
"She can sleep on the couch if you don't want her in your room."
"But mom Jim sleeps on the couch."
"Aelita dear we have something to talk about when we get to the Hermitage." Sanne brings Aelita back. When Aelita steps out of the Scanner she sees S.S. She goes over and hugs her.
"I'm sorry Odd." She didn't believe Ulrich and Sissi. She could have killed Odd.
"What?" Odd didn't know what Aelita and the others had been doing.
"Never mind." Aelita lets go. "You two, um, S.S. you can stay in my room."
"Thanks Aelita." S.S. wipes her eyes trying to stop crying.
"No problem. I don't stay there." Aelita walks over to the elevator. "Jim we should give them some privacy." Aelita and Jim go up to the Control Room to get the others then they leave the Factory. "Mom, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Just wait until we get to the Hermitage I'm sure you don't want the others to know about it." Sanne sighs knowing she was going to have to tell her daughter about her and Jim. She was worried about how Aelita would react and hopes it will be ok with Aelita that she and Jim were together.
