A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-144 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…

It had been more then a month since Xana attacked. The gang was happy that they had a break both from school and from Xana. Jeremie and Aelita had stayed in her room for a week and were planning on staying there for the next week. Sanne was worried at first but every time she checked on the two she found no reason to worry. The two were in love with each other and didn't need to do anything physical to show it. Jeremie had spent years of his life to bring Aelita to Earth then to free her from Xana's grasp. Aelita had spent years talking to Jeremie, helping him with the Super Computer, and was now trying to help him with his Italian. "La mucca ha saltato sopra la luna mentre la forcella ha funzionato via con il cucchiaio, ma soltanto il Canada e l'Hawai riconoscerebbero il marrige."

"Ok, I got uh, a cow jumping to the moon as a fork and a spoon then something about Canada and Hawaii."

"Close, but not good enough. I said 'The cow jumped over the moon as the fork ran away with the spoon, but only Canada and Hawaii would recognize the marriage' ok?"

"That makes a lot more sense." Jeremie smiles. "I'm still hopeless in Italian."

"You're doing better Jeremie that's all I can ask of you." Aelita kisses him lightly on the lips. She leans down to his ear and whispers. "My mom's watching us again. You'd think she'd trust us by now."

"Yeah, we aren't Odd and S.S." Jeremie looks sideways and out of the corner of his eye he can see the door is open a tiny bit. "Want to give her a scare?"

"No Jeremie that, well, what kind of scare?" Jeremie whispers to her. "No, I, well, that would be funny but no." Aelita walks away from Jeremie and goes to the door. "Stop mom." When she opens the door the rest of the way she sees Sanne in the hallway.

"I, uh, was just…" Sanne knows she'd been caught. "I was just making sure you two were behaving. I'm too young to be a grandmother."

"Actually if you add the time you were on Lyoko you wouldn't be." Aelita smiles. "But we don't do stuff like that mom. I know you've been watching us but trust us ok?"

"Trust two teens with raging hormones alone?"

"Our hormones don't rage. Sometimes they get mad at each other but then they don't talk to each other for awhile." Aelita hugs Sanne. "We, we love each other and don't need to do things like that to prove it. He's saved my life enough times to make it impossible to doubt how much he loves me." Aelita lets go. "Of course you and Jim on the other hand…" Sanne blushes.

"I don't think I should be talking with my teenage daughter about that."

"I'm actually twenty four. If you add the time I was on Lyoko." Aelita smiles at her mom. "I don't care that you two are, um, together. It's a little creepy but I, you love him, right?"

"Yes Aelita I do."

"So, so you two dating and stuff, um, isn't bad." Now Aelita blushes as she thinks about her mom and Jim. "Just don't make me a new sister or brother."

"I'm done with kids. I got it perfect the first time." Sanne puts a hand on Aelita's head and messes her hair up. "Even if your father wasn't you seem to have gotten everything from me." Sanne mentions Franz and this angers Aelita a little.

"He is not my father just the man who donated his DNA."

"Of course Aelita. He's nothing now, he's nothing but a nightmare that has passed us isn't he?" Aelita nods. "I'm going into town soon, I'll be back later." Sanne kisses Aelita on the forehead.

"Going on a date with Jim?"

"Maybe," Sanne smiles at Aelita. "You two behave yourselves. I don't want to come back to a messy house or a messy bedroom if you know what I mean."

"Yes mom, no parties and nothing that Odd and S.S. would do." Aelita goes back to her room. "Have fun mom but not to much fun." She sticks her tongue out getting Sanne to smile.

"I'm the grown up in this house and I'll do what I want. And right now I want to listen to my wonderful daughters orders." Sanne waves goodbye then goes to the stair case and goes downstairs.

"Are you sure you're ok with that?" Jeremie can't believe Aelita would be ok with Jim dating Sanne. It would be really creepy if it was Jim with his mom. "I mean, he's a Lyoko Warrior but he's a teacher."

"He's a Lyoko Warrior who has helped me get to the Towers and he makes my mom happy. If my mom's happy then I'm happy." Aelita goes over to Jeremie. "Afraid of having Jim as a father in law?"

"I, I, uh, you really think they'll get married?" Jeremie wants to divert the question back at Aelita.

"I don't know. My mom, I, I don't know. If they did I wouldn't be against it but I, can we not talk about this?"

"If you drop Italian for now." Aelita smiles and nods her head. Jeremie closes his laptop and when he reaches for his Italian book he accidentally hits the power switch on the laptop.

Several hundred kilometers away a beach town was about to get a big surprise. "Come on, lift, we have to keep the beach clean even if its winter." A man is leading a group of teens down the beach to pick up garbage and dead animals as a school project to help the community. A large fish that was rotten and smelled was found but none of the teens wanted to pick it up. "This counts towards your grades people." A young male teen goes and gets the dead fish and turns around to put it in a bag when he sees something come out of the water.

"Aaaa!" He points and the others look to see a shark flopping in the shallow water coming up onto the beach.

"Its ok kids it can't hurt you." How wrong he was. The shark stops flopping when three growths come out from the stomach. The growths grow and form into long tentacles. The shark stands up on the tentacles. "Uh, we need to go back to the bus." The man and the teens run back to the bus as more sharks swim up to the shallow water and mutate tentacles so they can walk on land.

"Jim, this is wonderful." Jim had taken Sanne to a restaurant. It was a very expensive restaurant and Jim took her here for a reason.

"A wonderful place with wonderful food for a wonderful woman." Jim stands up and walks over to Sanne. He gets down on one knee as he gets a little black box out. He opens it and reveals a gold band ring. "Sanne, uh, Sanne, would you marry me?" Jim was about to say Sanne Hopper but knew she'd throw something at him if he said that name. Her response scares him. She had just taken a bite of chicken and starts to choke on it. "Sanne!" He stands up and picks her up out of the chair. He wraps his arms around her and does the Heimlich maneuver. The chicken is dislodged and Sanne can breathe again. "Sanne, are you ok?"

"I don't know, did you, did you do what I think you did?" Sanne was stunned. She was blindsided by this. She liked Jim a lot but marriage? "I, uh, Jim, I…" Sanne is too shocked to know what is going on.

"Sanne if it's to early say so. I, I love you and I want to make it permanent but if you're not ready I can wait."

"Jim, I, um, wait a minute." Sanne was having flashbacks to when she was younger. It was at her old college and she had just graduated when a young man proposed to her. He had the start of a beard and his glasses hid how bright his eyes really were. "Jim, I, I'll be right back." Sanne gets up from the table and walks quickly to the women's bathroom. She puts her hands on the sink and looks in the mirror. "Sanne Grimore… No, I'm not a Hopper. Could I really be Sanne Grimore Morales? What will Aelita say about this? Oh, I, I have to talk to her first." Sanne gets her phone out and calls her daughter. "Aelita?"

"Mom? What is it?"

"I, um, Jim, he just, at dinner." Sanne was still stunned. "I, uh, he, he proposed to me."

"Did you say yes?" Aelita hears this news and is just as stunned as her mom. Aelita doesn't know how to feel or why her mom called her. "Mom? Did you say yes or no?"

"I, is it ok with you? I, I don't want to get married now but in the future, I, I really like Jim but this is just so sudden."

"Mom if it makes you happy then say yes. You don't have to get married the next day but, if it, if it makes you happy go ahead." Aelita doesn't know if she wanted to say that or she was just saying it for her mother.

"I, I don't know Aelita. I, I knew he liked me but, we have Xana to fight, we can't be dealing with this."

"Mom if you don't want to say so, if you do say yes. I want you to be happy."

"I want you to be happy Aelita. I, I don't want to do anything that will upset you."

"It won't upset me unless you're unhappy. Mom, if you say yes I'll be happy if it makes you happy."

"Thank you Aelita." Sanne and Aelita hang up and Sanne goes back out into the restaurant. "Jim, I, I had to talk to Aelita first."

"Oh, well, what did she say?"

"She said to do what made me happy."

"And that would be?"

"That would be a…" Before Sanne can answer the large front window of the restaurant shatters as a weird looking fish monster jumps through it.

"Aaaa!" People close to the window scream and try to get away. Thankfully the freaky fish monster doesn't go after them.

"No, Xana, but Aelita would have told me there was an attack!" Sanne and Jim back away from the monster as it walks towards them. Sanne gets her phone out and calls Aelita.

"So, what did you say?" Aelita was both nervous and excited.

"Attack! Xana, he's attacking!"

"But the, Super Scan." Aelita goes over to Jeremie's laptop, opens it, and finds it is off. She turns it on and seconds after it loads the Super Scan alerts her of an activated Tower. "Mom, Ice Sector, and what did you say?" Sanne hangs up and doesn't answer Aelita. "Jeremie, I'll get Sam and you call Odd. I'll call Yumi ok?" Jeremie nods and Aelita leaves her room and goes to Samantha's room. She knocks on the door. "Sam, Xana's attacking."

"Ok, give me a minute ok?"

"Ok." Aelita gets her phone out and calls Yumi. "Yumi, Xana's launched an attack."

"But, he's, he's been quiet for, ok I'll be there." Yumi hangs up. "Mom, Aelita says she wants help with her Italian, is it ok if I go to her house?"

"Yes Yumi but be back before dinner." Yumi nods and leaves the house for the Factory.

"Ok, S.S. is with me so don't call her." Odd and Jeremie hang up. "S.S., Xana's attacking."

"Aw, tell him to go away." S.S. smiles and laughs. "Well we had a nice long break didn't we?"

"Yes we did, very nice." Odd kisses S.S. "Get some clothes on so I don't forget that Jeremie called."

"You to mister." S.S. kisses Odd back and they get dressed then head for the Factory.

When Samantha comes out of her room she joins Aelita and Jeremie and use the sewer entrance at the Hermitage to go to the Factory. "Wait, don't forget to call Ulrich and Sissi." Samantha was on her skateboard when she remembered those two.

"Oh, yeah, I can't believe I forgot them." Aelita stops and gets her phone out. "Ulrich, Xana's attacking. I, he went after my mom and Jim."

"Where are they?"

"I don't know, in town somewhere." Aelita was concerned about her mom and Jim. If Xana had sent monsters would her mom and Jim be able to handle them?

"Ok, I'll make sure they're safe." Ulrich and Aelita hang up. "Sissi Xana's attacking Sanne and Jim."

"Alright, well, you want to make sure they're safe?" Ulrich nods. "Find them and protect them. I'll help the others on Lyoko." Sissi kisses Ulrich then whispers to herself. "Keep him away from Yumi." Sissi and Ulrich break apart into black mists and go different directions.

"Sissi?" William heard someone in the control room. "I guess the others know about the attack then." William smiles at her. "No Ulrich?"

"He's going to protect Sanne and Jim." Sissi leans towards the monitor. "So William what have you and Samantha been doing during break?"

"Uh, talking. She's been telling me about what's been going on in the world. They, they don't think it's safe to give me the password since I'm on Lyoko and Xana might be able to get me without them being able to protect me."

"That's all?" Sissi smiles. "I like to watch my allies to make sure they don't decide to turn on me or join Xana."

"Then you know all we do is talk." Sissi frowns. She was hoping to hear something juicy. Ulrich had kept her from spying on the others as much as she use to. She got something out of it from Ulrich but she was still curious as to what was going on with the others.

"Well they should be here soon. What Sector are you in?"

"Forest."

"The activated Tower is in the Ice Sector according to the Super Scan." Sissi has it up and is looking at it. "I could come and take you to the Ice Sector."

"Wait for the others to get here then you can." William pauses as he works up the courage to ask Sissi a question. "Why don't you let Ulrich go?"

"Because I love him and he belongs to me." Sissi's flat cold response scares William.

"But he doesn't love you, he loves Yumi. If you really loved him you would let him go and let him choose."

"Oh be the nice one? You were nice and you lost Yumi."

"And I met Samantha."

"Shut up William." Sissi sparks with energy. "If I need to I will just kill Yumi." William's eyes get wide. "That's right. I want Ulrich, I love him, he's mine!" Her energy sparks again and nearly destroys the computer chair as the corruption starts to creep into her brain. The corruption had already done damage to her brain from the months of using energy and she was unstable. When she didn't use the energy she was ok but when her emotions flared her energy came up.

"Sissi if you killed me Ulrich would kill you." Yumi had taken the ladder down when the elevator didn't seem to work and heard Sissi's rant.

"He's too weak to hurt me." Sissi closes her eyes. "Yumi, stay away from Ulrich. It would hurt him if you died and I don't want him hurt." Sissi takes deep breaths trying to calm down and keep the corruption away.

"You hurt him every time you use that shock collar on him. You selfish little bitch." Yumi squeezes a hand into a fist. Normally she wouldn't act like this but no one else was around. She had Sissi alone. "He hates you, I know he does."

"He doesn't hate me he's said so himself. He, he'll learn to love me. Once we get rid of Xana I'll have all the time I need to teach him."

"If you think you can teach him to love you then you don't know what love is." Yumi walks towards Sissi who backs away.

"Yumi stop I, it's affecting me stay back!" Sissi uses energy to knock Yumi backwards. "No, I have to stop and calm down." Sissi sits down on the floor and grabs the back of her head. "Yumi stay away the corruption is affecting me. If, if it gets to strong I'll lose control and might hurt you." Sissi rocks back and forth trying to calm down.

Across the city Ulrich finds Sanne and Jim. "Sanne!" He forms into himself from a black mist. "Get over here."

"Help!" Sanne was holding her arm where one of the mutated shark monsters had bitten her. "Not me, Jim!" Ulrich had gone over to her when she pushes him away with her uninjured arm. She points and Ulrich sees Jim being attacked by two of the monsters.

"Get away from him!" Ulrich flies over to them and kicks a monster away from Jim. "Jim, you and Sanne have to get away."

"Stop the monsters, they've attacked innocent people."

"Ok, just get to the Factory!" Ulrich morphs into Lyoko form and gets his swords out. "This shouldn't be too hard." He slashes at a monster and cuts a tentacle. The tentacle grows back quickly. "Ok a little harder then I thought." Ulrich looks around and sees four more monsters coming towards him. "Jim, Sanne, here, it won't last long but should be enough to get you to the Factory." Ulrich concentrates and sends two energy orbs into Sanne and Jim. Sanne's arm is healed. "Hurry, it won't last long." The two nods and run for the Factory moving much faster then normal. "So let's make some Sushi." Ulrich attacks the monsters thinking these would be all the monsters Xana sent but was wrong.

At the Factory Jeremie, Samantha, and Aelita made it but were stopped by a large mutated shark monster. "Jeremie, Aelita, stay back." Samantha reaches into her pocket but comes out empty. "Sanne's rules, no sticker." Sanne made sure Samantha got rid of her switchblade. "Ok, you kids run while I attack that thing."

"Don't be stupid Samantha that thing will hurt you."

"Well I'm expandable. I'm already dead to the world."

"You're not dead to us and it better stay that way." Jeremie and Aelita go to one side of the bridge as Samantha goes to the other side.

"Come on, over here, yeah, get me." Samantha taunts the monster as she walks towards it. It sees her and charges her. "Aaaa!" It tackles her and they both go over the side of the bridge into the river below.

"Samantha!" Jeremie and Aelita run over and see Samantha swimming but the monster wasn't. Xana had mutated the shark so it could walk on land and breath on land and now it drowned in the river unable to swim.

"I'm coming, ugh, there goes my cell phone." Samantha climbs out of the river and goes back up to the bridge. "Get me in a Scanner so I can dry off munchkin." Samantha smiles at Aelita as she calls her by a nickname.

"Ok Sam, um, you did plan that right?"

"No but I'll take luck over skill any day." The three run and jump swinging down to the Factory floor below then get to the elevator. They take it down to the Control Room and see Yumi and Sissi.

"Hey, what's wrong with her?" Jeremie points to Sissi who is still rocking back and forth on the floor.

"She said the corruption was getting to her." Yumi wasn't sure if that was true or if Sissi was using it as an excuse for what she said. "Ulrich says it can get really bad."

"Well, I guess we'll leave her be for now." Aelita goes over to the computer chair. "I can send you and the others now."

"Maybe we should wait." Yumi looks over and sees a soaking wet Samantha. "What happened to you?"

"I thought I'd go for a swim on the way over. If you don't want to come now that's ok but I really want to go to Lyoko where I won't be soaking wet."

"Ok, I'll go." Yumi gets on the elevator with Samantha and Jeremie and takes it down to the Scanner Room.

"Everybody ready?" Aelita sees them nod through the security cameras. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Jeremie, Transfer Samantha, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Jeremie, Scanner Samantha, Virtualization." The three land on Lyoko in the Ice Sector.

"Uh oh, I, I don't think William is near this Sector." Samantha looks around.

"Sissi said she'd give him a ride here when the others make it here." Yumi and the others sit down waiting for the others.

"Aaaa!" A shark monster attacks a woman on the street. Ulrich has killed three but three more have come to join the last of the original four monsters.

"Leave her alone it's me you want!" Ulrich flies over and attacks the shark monster killing it. "Ma'am if I was you I'd get out of here." The woman looks up at the strange flying samurai.

"Aaaa!" She runs away.

"Oh yes, no problem, thank you for thanking me for saving your life." Ulrich rolls his eyes then hears another scream. "What is Xana doing? Is he really trying to kill innocent people? They should be going after me or should have gone after Jim and Sanne but didn't." Had Xana changed tactics?

"They're almost here." Xana had been keeping an eye on his enemies. "Three more should do." Xana uses his powers to send three shark monsters to the bridge. "If I killed those two it would infuriate the Lyoko Warriors. Maybe a little too much." He takes one of the shark monsters away. "Killing other humans should hurt them enough." Xana continues watching the Lyoko Warriors waiting for the rest to come to Lyoko.

"Sanne, stay back." Jim had climbed out of the sewer to see two of the monsters waiting for him and Sanne. "I can take one but the other one will be a problem." The energy Ulrich gave Jim and Sanne ran out already.

"Hey Sanne, what's going on?" Odd and S.S. make it.

"Jim said to stay down here so I guess the monsters are waiting for us." S.S. goes to Sanne.

"Nice clothes, were you and Jim on a date?" S.S. smiles as Sanne's cheeks turn red. "Aw, stupid Xana broke up your date."

"I'm sure he broke up something between you two." S.S.'s and Odd's faces turn red. "You two kids shouldn't be doing that."

"Kids? We may only be fifteen by age but we're sure as hell older then that by experience." Odd's reaction is something Sanne didn't expect.

"Yes, but you still shouldn't be doing things like that until you're out of school." Sanne hears yelling. "Jim! I'm coming up!"

"Stay down there I can't let them hurt you!" Jim is wrestling with a shark monster's tentacles trying to keep from being bitten.

"I'll help." Odd climbs up the ladder and is immediately attacked by the second shark monster.

"Odd!" S.S. climbs up the ladder and goes to help Odd. "Get away from him!" She attacks the shark monster as it uses its tentacles to attack Odd.

"S.S. get away!" Odd doesn't want her to get hurt.

"No way Odd!" S.S. punches the shark monster. A tentacle comes up and wraps around her waist. "Aaaa!" It throws her off and into Odd.

"I told you not to!" Odd struggles as a tentacle squeezes him forcing the air from his lungs.

"No, Sissi, I hear you but Xana is attacking innocent people!" Ulrich has killed a dozen monsters but more keep coming. Sissi had sent him a mental message about what was going on back at the Factory. "Why don't you take care of it?" I used to much power, my, my emotions did it. I'm sorry but the corruption is still there and if I use any more it might not be reversible except by an act of love and even then I, I think it does damage. "Ok but I'm using a lot of power to. The corruption is coming up but I know not as fast as yours." Since Ulrich didn't use his powers as much or for as long it took the corruption longer to affect him. "Everybody run! I have to stop more of these things somewhere else!" With that last warning Ulrich turns into a black mist and goes to the Factory. Moving as a black mist took less power then to fly as himself. "No, leave them alone!" Ulrich forms and attacks the shark monsters at the Factory.

"Aaaa!" Jim is bite on the arm by a shark monster then feels the monster's bite loosen. "What?" Jim looks up and sees Ulrich. "Ulrich, the other two need your help." Ulrich looks over and sees Odd and S.S. being squeezed by the tentacles.

"Leave them alone!" Ulrich runs over and kills the shark monster. "Get to Lyoko and deactivate the Tower! I have to stop the other monsters from hurting people." Ulrich breaks apart into a black mist again and goes back to the restaurant. "No!" He sees a man fighting with a monster. Behind him was a woman who was bleeding from her leg. "Get out of here!" Ulrich's emotions and energy grows accelerating the corruption. He flies at the shark monster and kills it then turns to the couple. "Get out of here now!" The man backs away then grabs the woman's hand and they run away. "Have to keep Xana from killing anyone." Ulrich attacks the other shark monsters using more and more powers.

"Ok, mom, what did you say?"

"I'll tell you later, get on the elevator and get to the Scanners." Aelita nods and gets on the elevator with Jim, Odd, and S.S. As it goes down Sanne whispers to herself. "What will I say?" She shakes her head, she didn't know. "Ok, Transfer Odd, Transfer Sandra, Transfer Jim, Scanner Odd, Scanner Sandra, Scanner Jim, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko. "Transfer Aelita, Scanner Aelita, Virtualization." She lands on Lyoko as the vehicles appear. "Sissi, are you going?"

"Yes." Sissi breaks apart into a black mist and goes to Lyoko. "William, come with me." Sissi waits for William to leave the Tower and then she takes him to the Ice Sector with the others.

"Go west, it shouldn't be far, the barrier is small." Sanne leans back in the chair and takes the headset off so none of the Warriors on Lyoko could hear her. "Sanne, you've gotten yourself into round room and told to sit in the corner. If I say no…" Sanne debates with herself as the Lyoko Warriors and Sissi head for the Tower.

On Earth Ulrich can feel the corruption creeping into his brain. He has to keep fighting though or the shark monsters would kill humans. It took the corruption longer to affect him then it did Sissi but it would still affect him.

Back on Lyoko the gang sees the Tower and the guards. "That damn monkey is back. She's mine!" Sissi gets her axe out when Odd with S.S. on the Overboard flies over to her.

"Sissi, you're good, if you went after the other monsters you could destroy them faster then us while we distract Lynnette." Odd was taking the lead.

"I gave you, S.S., and Samantha extra powers when on Lyoko, use them." Sissi wanted Lynnette, she needed to fight Lynnette. Lynnette was her replacement and Sissi wanted to prove she was still better then Lynnette. Odd flies away from Sissi.

"S.S., you go after the Assassin on the right, I'll go for the one on the left." S.S. nods and gets her power pole out. "Yumi, you, William, and Samantha go after the Mega Tank. Jim, Jeremie, you guys protect Aelita incase Xana tries to get her."

"Ok General Odd." Samantha does a salute then gets her daggers out. "Let's do this." Samantha feels William hug her tighter. "Don't worry we're going to kick butt."

"Kick butt?" William is surprised by Samantha's word usage.

"I don't need to get yelled at by Sanne for using a bad word." Samantha laughs a little. "Yumi, charge the Mega Tank, I'll throw my daggers when it opens."

"Ok." Yumi revs the engine of the Overbike and charges the Mega Tank. The Mega Tank opens up and fires quickly. Yumi dodges the blast and soon it fires another blast that Yumi dodges. Samantha throws daggers but they either are destroyed by the blast or miss the Eye. "Samantha just throw one." Samantha listens and throws one dagger. The Mega Tank fires but the dagger dodges the blast! Yumi is using her psychic powers to control the dagger. The dagger is aimed for the Eye but the Mega Tank closes up.

"My turn." William jumps off the back of the Overbike and runs at the Mega Tank. "I use to like to bowl but I used a forty kilogram ball." William stands next to the Mega Tank then looks at the two Assassins that Odd and S.S. were dealing with. They were doing ok since they had the upgraded powers from Sissi but weren't going to destroy the Assassins from the looks of it. "Here's hoping for a strike." William backs away from the Mega Tank then runs as fast as he can kicking the Mega Tank. It starts to roll and William chases after it kicking it to keep it rolling.

"Whoa!" S.S. does a back flip as the Mega Tank nearly rolls over her. It rolls into the Assassin. "Extend!" Her power pole extends hitting the Assassin in the Eye. Before it would have been able to block but it was tangled with the Mega Tank making it an easy kill. The Assassin explodes knocking the Mega Tank back at William.

"Got it." William catches the rolling Mega Tank and lifts it into the air. "I'm like Atlas." He laughs a little as he carries the Mega Tank away from the Tower. "Can't get tired on Lyoko, this is out of the fight, get the last Assassin." William walks away with the Mega Tank as the Lyoko Warriors go after the last Assassin.

On Earth Ulrich is struggling not with the shark monsters but the corruption. It had gotten to his brain stem and was starting to get into the rest of his brain. Most of the people had run away so there were no innocent people to get hurt but the shark monsters were still there. "No, I have to fight it." The corruption creeps into his brain and starts to affect him more. "One last blast to get rid of these monsters." Ulrich closes his eyes, concentrates, and then launches an energy wave out destroying a dozen more shark monsters. Three remain. "No, I can't." Ulrich stands up and uses energy destroying the three remaining monsters. "Can't fight it any longer." Ulrich looks around as the Eye of Xana appears in his eyes. "Kill them all, yes, kill them all and let God sort them out!" Ulrich taken over by the corruption looks for someone to kill.

Back on Lyoko Odd uses Exploding Arrows to destroy the last Assassin. "Aelita get to the Tower!" Odd looks around and sees Aelita is on the Overwing with Jeremie and Jim. "Now while Sissi is fighting Lynnette!"

"No! I can't allow you to get there!" Lynnette uses energy to push Sissi back then flies towards the Tower to stop Aelita.

"I don't think so." Sissi closes her eyes and concentrates. She uses energy to grab Lynnette's mace and take it from her. "Oh hell…" The corruption creped up into her brain. "Sanne you better do a return after this!" Sissi drops to the ground so she wouldn't be using her powers to fly anymore.

"I can still fight!" Lynnette gets ready as the Overwing dives for the Tower.

"You're mine!" Jim leaps over Jeremie and Aelita and tackles Lynnette. They wrestle on the ground as the Overwing stops in front of the Tower. Aelita hops off and runs into the Tower.

"Tower deactivated." The screens fall around Aelita. "Mom, a return to the past is needed." No response. "Mom?" Sanne in the Control Room still has the headset off and is still debating on what to say.

On Earth Ulrich has found humans. "Yes, time to play!" Ulrich dives at the group of teens that had come to see what all the yelling was about.

"Return to the past now!" Aelita launches one since she couldn't get a hold of her mother. The white bubble comes out and reverses time.

"Sanne?" Jim and Sanne are outside of the restaurant. They had already eaten so were still full from the time before since the returns didn't affect them that way. "I, um, I already proposed to you but, um, I can do it again."

"Jim, I, I want to say yes, Aelita says it's ok, but…" Sanne is still debating on what to say. She has memories of her last marriage, her last proposal, the last man she thought she loved. No, he's not Franz, he won't do that. "Jim, yes, I will marry you but not until…" Jim kisses Sanne deeply for several minutes.

"Thank you Sanne." Jim pulls away from her. "What is it?"

"I, we have to wait though. Not until Xana is dead. I don't want our marriage to be interrupted by an attack."

"Ok Sanne, but please, wear the ring. I know it isn't a diamond ring but with my salary I," Sanne kisses Jim.

"It's beautiful." Jim gets the box out and opens it. Sanne takes the gold ring out and puts it on her ring finger when her phone rings. "Ha, SOS RING, I think she can wait. How about we go to a movie?"

"Well, we already did kind of eat here, but wait." Jim reaches into his back pocket for his wallet. "Is it stealing if I still have the money I spent on the meal?" Sanne laughs.

"Only you would worry about that." Sanne takes Jim's hand in hers and they walk away from the restaurant.
