Part 2
It had been over a month since Aelita had been attacked with a nuclear warhead. So far it seemed like she had been killed as no other cities had been destroyed. The gang was debating about coming out of hiding or not. "What if she is waiting for us to come out? What if she is waiting for us to expose ourselves to strike?" Jeremie didn't want to risk his daughter's life.
"She hasn't been seen for more than a month, they did it." Odd was tired of hiding out and wanted to go home.
"I hope they did but what if they didn't? I, I don't want Yumi to be on a plane or moving much since she's close." Ulrich rubs Yumi's large belly. She laughs a little and then feels the baby kick.
"I say we give it another five days, if she doesn't come out in five days I think maybe two of us should go out and see if she comes after them." Vallejo looks at Senoid. "Senoid and I could do it. Go out and use our credit cards and stuff to see if Aelita comes after us."
"A vote, wait or go out. I vote we wait and hide." Jeremie raises his hand as does Ulrich, Yumi, Senoid, and Vallejo.
"Fine, we'll wait and hide for five more days." Odd crosses his arms. He was getting cabin fever and wanted to go out. "I'm going for a ride." There was something he could do, take a four wheeler for a drive. "I'll be back later." Sandra hugs him before he leaves.
"Odd be careful." Sandra kisses him lightly on the lips. "Don't be to long dinner will be soon."
"I wouldn't miss dinner you know that babe." Odd kisses Sandra hard on the lips before driving off.
Three days later, two days before they would leave their hiding spot, there is a problem. "Ulrich!" Yumi is holding onto her stomach as she walks out of the trailer she stayed in. "Ulrich! My water, it broke!" Yumi feels a contraction. "Ulrich!" She yells his name.
"I'm coming Yumi." Ulrich is running over to Yumi. He was talking with Vallejo about his baby and when Vallejo and Senoid were planning on settling down. "Um, hospital, we have to get you to the hospital."
"Aaaa!" Yumi is hit with another contraction. "Is the four wheeler set?!" Ulrich nods. The group had bought a trailer last time they were in town so they could carry Yumi into town when the time came. "Then get me there!" Yumi grabs Ulrich by the hair and pulls on it.
"Ok, ok, come on Yumi this way."
"Yumi, what if Sanne gets hungry while you're gone?" Jeremie was holding Sanne.
"I made sure to fill a couple of bottles, they're in the fridge!" Yumi is set on the trailer with help from Ulrich.
"Who's coming with me? I, I don't think I should go alone incase Yumi needs help."
"I'll come with you." Sandra wanted to be there for Yumi and to see the baby being born. Sandra had been talking to Odd about having a child but he said he wasn't ready for one and then Xana came back. "Um, Senoid do you want to come? A girl's day out?"
"Sure, I'll ride with you." Sandra and Senoid get on a four wheeler as Ulrich heads off for the town's hospital. "We'll be back later Vallejo." Senoid and Vallejo kiss before following Ulrich to the hospital.
"Wow, what a great time to have a kid." Odd is sitting on the ground. "Hopefully Xana really is gone."
"Which would mean Aelita is gone." Jeremie wanted Xana stopped before he killed anyone else but it meant Aelita would have to be stopped. "I hope that Xana is gone but, I, I."
"Man I know you love Aelita, we all do, but if, if she had to die to kill Xana it saved billions of other lives. I wouldn't, hell, I lost Sandra because of Xana I know how it feels but it will save everyone else if it worked." Odd wanted it to work. He didn't want to keep running or hiding. After spending time with Sanne he was starting to think about having a kid of his own. Before he was worried about how it would affect his career and his relationship with Sandra but being around Sanne put those worries to the side. To see how Jeremie smiled at his daughter, to see how Sanne made Jeremie forget all the hells of the world, Odd wanted that. But if Xana was still out there he wouldn't dare bring a child into the world.
At the hospital the only doctor and two nurses were in one of five rooms at the hospital with Yumi. "Ok, signs are normal, breath." The nurse checks a chart. "Everything is normal."
"It's been a long time since we had a pregnant woman in here. Heck you're the first patient I've had for over a week." The doctor smiles at Ulrich. "Don't be nervous I've been the doctor at all my children's and grand children's births. We may be a small time hospital but I'm the best doctor in fifty miles."
"Doctor you're the only one in fifty miles." A nurse laughs. "Mr. Stern you don't have to stand the whole time sitting down won't hurt anything." The nurses were all in good moods. It had been nearly three years since the last baby was delivered at the hospital.
"I hate you! Why did I ever let you do this to me!?" Yumi was not herself. Ulrich smiles knowing it wasn't Yumi.
"Jeremie said you would say that." Ulrich holds Yumi's hand as Yumi says more things. "He said you would say that to." Ulrich squeezes Yumi's hand as she tries to crush his.
Back at the camp site Jeremie was trying to feed Sanne. "Come on, I know I'm not Yumi but this is the same milk. Come on, please eat." Jeremie was getting frustrated trying to feed Sanne from a bottle. "I know you can eat I've seen you eat before. There you go, in your mouth, there." Jeremie smiles as Sanne starts to feed from a bottle. "You're going to have company soon. I wonder if Yumi will be able to handle two babies."
Back at the hospital a nurse is entering the information of the patients. "Ulrich Stern, Yumi Stern, need a payment still…" She types in the information having no idea what she was about to awaken.
There, they've come out of hiding. I will find them and I will destroy them! A black haired woman creates an energy shield pushing the debris around her out of her way. "It was close but I'm to powerful for such pathetic human weapons to kill me." Aelita had been hurt badly but had slowly healed. She wasn't back to her perfect self but she had found her targets. "They're hiding somewhere in the American southwest. I can find them, Phoenix maybe, or Las Vegas. Somewhere nice, I doubt my former husband could tough it out." Aelita sparks with energy. "Plenty of hotels in Las Vegas, let's look there first." Energy sparks around Aelita as she takes off for Las Vegas. "Although it seems Ulrich and Yumi are the weak ones."
"Congratulations it's a boy!" Yumi is handed the new born baby after being in labor for over five hours.
"We know, we know." Yumi cries as she sees her son for the first time. "I finally get to see you. You're so adorable."
"What are you going to name him?" Ulrich and Yumi had discussed, argued, about who would name the baby but after what Yumi went through Ulrich decided Yumi deserved to name their first child.
"I know you want a German name and I want a Japanese name so I went with both. Krieger Buke Stern."
"I know Krieger but what does Buke mean?"
"It means the same as Krieger." The doctor and the nurses let Yumi and Ulrich enjoy the moment. Sandra and Senoid are allowed in to see the new mother when suddenly the power goes out.
"What the? Back up generators, come on, kick in!" When they don't activate a nurse leaves the hospital and goes into the back area where an old generator is. "Thing hasn't been used in years I wonder if it will even work." She has to crank the generator to give it a charge. "It won't budge!" The nurse struggles with it when someone comes from the hospital.
"The doctor said you might not have enough muscle to give the generator a charge." Ulrich was sent out to help. "I can help though." Ulrich flexes his arms and shows off his muscles.
"Well, you look plenty strong." The nurse smiles at Ulrich. "If you want to give it a try I won't stop you." Ulrich stretches his arms a little before trying to crank the generator.
"Aaaa!" He yells as he strains to move the crank but finally something gives and the crank moves. Ulrich charges the generator and it turns on.
"Thank you Mr. Stern. Not that we really need it I guess since your baby seems just fine."
"He's perfect." Ulrich and the nurse go back into the hospital.
Several hundred miles away a city was panicking. Things had been getting back to normal after the military destroyed the alien. But the world found out that the alien was alive and well when it appeared in Las Vegas. "Run, run all of you run! Yes, panic, riot, loot!" Aelita laughs. "I'll give them another ten minutes before I wipe this city off the map." Aelita had sent out a psychic message to everyone in Las Vegas. Turn over her targets and she would let everyone else live.
"Oh no, that alien seems to be back." A nurse in the front office has the TV on to keep Sandra and Senoid entertained while the doctor and another nurse deal with Yumi, Ulrich, and the new born Krieger.
"Aelita." Sandra gets up and turns the volume up.
"The alien has reappeared suddenly after eleven days of peace! We don't know why it stopped. I believe that maybe it was hurt and had to take time to recover. If this is like the other cities it will give us a couple of days to evacuate before destroying the city. Las Vegas has been the jewel in the desert for so many years but in a couple of days it will be no more." The camera zooms in on Aelita and everyone watching can see scars and a wound on her face.
"She was hurt but it wasn't enough." Senoid turns to Skitz. "I went to Las Vegas once." Senoid smiles thinking about the time she spent with Vallejo. Went to casinos, shows, and spent a lot of time in the hotel room. "Did you and Odd ever go to Las Vegas?"
"Yeah, for his work." The two continue to watch wondering what Aelita was going to do now.
"Hmmm, no replies. Too bad, this city looks wonderful but it must go." Aelita flies over the city until she gets to the Las Vegas Strip. "Look at them running like rats trying to get off a sinking ship. Bye bye." Aelita waves her hand and an energy blast comes out destroying the city and killing everyone in it in a matter of seconds. "I still have it!" She clenches her fist and energy comes out. "But I don't have my prey. Phoenix is next I believe."
"No, Aelita, why didn't you let them evacuate first?" Sandra and Senoid saw the horrible scene up to the point the camera man was killed. "Senoid, I, we have to do something to stop this."
"I know, um, we should call the military and tell them to make an EMP bomb thing. Jeremie is having a hard time making one but the military should have no problem." Senoid looks at a pay phone.
"But if we call from here they will know we called from here and come looking for us. They don't know that Xana will keep killing people even after he gets us." Sandra doesn't know what to do.
"Well, I, we take a four wheeler to the next city and make a call from there. That way it won't be traced to here."
"How far is the next city?" Senoid shrugs her shoulders. "We better buy a gas can just incase we run out."
"Yeah, good idea. But, um, do we do it now?"
"We can tell Ulrich that we're going back to tell the others and the others will think we're here." Sandra goes into the back where the rooms were. "Ulrich, Senoid and I are going to go back to camp and tell the others ok?"
"Ok, um, they want to keep Yumi and the baby overnight."
"Ok, we'll tell everyone." Sandra hugs Ulrich. "You're so lucky to have a baby. I can't wait to have one of my own."
"It's a miracle, he's a miracle." Ulrich has a smile on his face so bright Sandra can't remember seeing one like it. "Isn't he beautiful?" Sandra nods then goes back into the front office.
"Ok Senoid it's a mission." Senoid nods and they leave the hospital. They go to Jared's Junk Shop. "Um, Jared, hello?" Sandra looks around and sees a five gallon kerosene can. She goes over and pulls it down as Jared comes out from the back. "Hi Jared." Senoid waves to him.
"Oh you folks, what you need?"
"We need to fill a four wheeler up and this up. We're going to be taking a long trip and we need all the gas we can carry." Sandra puts the five gallon kerosene can on the counter.
"Ok, well, the can is seventeen fifty and the gas is however much it will be." Jared flips a switch to turn the pumps on.
"Can Senoid just pull the four wheeler to the back and fill them both up then I can pay you?" Jared nods so Senoid leaves the store with the kerosene can and drives the four wheeler and kerosene can to the back where the gas station was. She fills both up and Sandra pays.
"Having you kids doing whatever it be you're doing have been great business for me. If you need anything else you know who to come to." Jared goes into the back again as Sandra leaves the store.
"Are we ready?" Senoid nods. Sandra gets on the back and Senoid takes off for the next city.
"Where are they?" Yumi was resting and wondered where the other two girls were.
"They went back to tell the others everything is fine." Ulrich didn't tell Yumi about Aelita being back. He wanted her to have this moment to herself. "How are you feeling?"
"I just passed a bowling ball through my body and you want to know how I feel? I should hurt you for that." Yumi laughs. "He's so beautiful. He's mine. I made him inside of me." Yumi is almost delirious with joy. She had done it. She had brought a new life into the world. "I just wish my parents could be here." Yumi gets a sad look on her face.
"I want to call my parents and tell them they have a grandson but we can't. Aelita might be able to trace it to..." Ulrich stops. "Oh God no, she came out because of this." He thinks he knows why Aelita reappeared.
"What? Ulrich what did you say?"
"I, um, nothing. It can wait Yumi. You look so beautiful." Ulrich smiles at Yumi and brushes his hand through her hair. "You look so beautiful as a mother. Glowing with beauty."
"I do not. Krieger didn't weigh thirty two pounds." Yumi pats her stomach. "I'm still fat."
"You are not. You're beautiful, you're a mother, and you're my wife." Ulrich hugs Yumi. "I love you so much."
"I love you to. Sorry about the things I said."
"Jeremie warned me about that. I'd probably say some nasty things if I was passing a bowling ball to." Ulrich smiles at Yumi who smiles back. "I'm staying the night so if you need anything just tell me."
"I'm tired so I guess I need to rest."
"I can't help you with that." Ulrich holds her hand as he stands over Yumi until she falls asleep. He goes out into the front office and sits down. "I guess I'll tell her tomorrow about Aelita." Ulrich looks up at the TV and sees it is news still covering what happened in Las Vegas.
Senoid and Sandra get to the next closest town. "Pay phone, one of these places has to have a pay phone." Sandra stops the four wheeler. "They probably won't like us driving up and down the roads with a four wheeler."
"Good thinking Sandra." Senoid gets off the four wheeler with Sandra. "A convenience store should have a pay phone." They go down a sidewalk until they see a store with a pay phone. They go into the store to use the pay phone. "Crap, what was the number?"
"I don't remember. Um, maybe someone around here will know." Sandra goes up to the person at the counter. "Um, that alien thing, uh, the military put up a number to call and uh, my friend has an idea or something and wants to call them but we can't remember the number."
"Oh, we have it posted on the flyer up front." Sandra goes over and sees the number. She goes back to Senoid and tells her the number.
"Ok, come on, answer." Senoid dials the number.
"You have reached the hotline of…" Senoid waits through the opening message. "To leave information on the alien's targets press three. To leave information on…" Senoid presses three.
"Oh crap, um, uh, EMP bomb. Electro magnetic pulse, right?" Sandra nods. "Use an EMP bomb on the alien. You know, Electro magnetic pulses, to um, mess with its technology and stuff."
"Press pound or hang up when you are done." Senoid hangs up the phone hoping this would work.
"Well?" Sandra couldn't hear the pre recorded messages.
"We'll have to wait and see. We should probably fill the gas tank up before we leave." Sandra and Senoid leave the store and look for a gas station. When they find one they fill the four wheeler up and leave.
"Where are they? You would think at least one of the girls would have come back and tell us what happened. Tell us that Yumi was ok." Odd was doing push ups while talking to Vallejo.
"They're girls they're probably busy buying things for the baby." Vallejo rolls his eyes. Senoid always went on about not wanting to ruin her body with a baby but she was a woman and he knew she'd go stupid over a new baby. Just like she had with Sanne. Not that he minded but he really wasn't looking forward to having a baby yet. Traveling around the world was too much fun.
"Like what? You've been in town what is there to buy? Unless they decide to buy the baby a sandwich."
"Good point." Vallejo starts to worry about Senoid. "With two babies it's going to be getting worse." Right now they had to be quiet because Sanne was taking a nap. "At least they will be in the same trailer. It would be hard to get romantic with a crying baby in a trailer."
"You and Senoid are still doing that? Aren't you worried about bringing a baby into the world if Aelita, Xana, is still out there?" They had not been watching TV so didn't know Las Vegas had been wiped out by Aelita. "And really you two don't sound like you're ready for one."
"Hey we use protection."
"Those aren't a hundred percent effective Vallejo." Odd rolls over after doing two hundred pushups and starts doing sit ups.
"Yeah only ninety nine percent effective. I don't know about you but just because Xana's out there doesn't mean Senoid and I will stop being with each other. Good way to relax and forget about where we're hiding."
"Relax, yeah, I can't do that. I have to make sure I'm able to protect Sandra. Not that I probably could." Aelita would rip me apart as easily as I swat a fly. "Have to get stronger."
"Is that why you've been working out so much? Odd you heard from Jeremie what happened to Jim and Sanne, Aelita's mom. You could be a wall of muscle and won't be able to stop Aelita. She's wiped out entire cities. She'd kill you before you could blink."
"I have to try at least." Odd hears something. "Sanne's awake and probably hungry."
"It is fun watching Jeremie try to feed her." Vallejo and Odd go over to Jeremie's trailer.
"Come on, it's ok. Hush little baby don't say a word…" Jeremie tries to sing to Sanne but he can't carry a tune.
"Try feeding her another bottle." Odd and Vallejo walk into the trailer. Can we turn the TV on?"
"Sure, ok, um, let me get a bottle." Jeremie gets a bottle out of the refrigerator as Vallejo turns the TV on.
"As you can see the military is still looking for survivors. After the alien attacked the alien left the ruins of what use to be Las Vegas."
"No, Aelita, she's still alive." Odd turns the volume up as Sanne keeps crying. "No, Las Vegas, gone."
Near Phoenix, Arizona Aelita is lying in the desert. "Why am I hurting? What is wrong with me? That damn nuclear warhead!" Aelita grasps her chest as her chest feels like it is burning.
"Sanne please stop crying." Jeremie tried to feed his daughter but Sanne wouldn't stop crying long enough to feed.. "Please, I know it's not the same as Yumi but it's her milk, please eat." Jeremie is worried that Sanne misses Yumi. Yumi had so far been Sanne's mother. Jeremie was concerned that if things stayed the way it was that Sanne would grow up thinking Yumi was her mother and not Aelita. "Please Sanne stop crying, eat."
"Aaaa!" Aelita screams in pain. "No, not Phoenix. They're hiding but I can't sense where. No matter, I'll still destroy Phoenix." Aelita stands up as the pain goes away.
"There you go." Sanne starts to eat. "There you go, good girl. You're such a good girl yes you are." Jeremie feeds Sanne. He looks up at the TV to see what was going on. He didn't know what to feel. He was happy Aelita was still alive but it meant Xana was alive to. "I'll save her. I'll stop at nothing to save her. Sanne needs a mother and you're her mother."
Back at the hospital Ulrich hears something weird. He gets out of his chair and sees a four wheeler coming down the road but not from the camp site. "Sandra and Senoid? What are they doing?" They drive by ignoring Ulrich. "Where did they go?" Ulrich goes back into the hospital.
A few minutes later Sandra and Senoid drive up to the camp site. "Hey everybody we have great news!" Sandra stops in front of her trailer before getting off of the four wheeler.
"Yumi had her baby and everything's fine?" Odd goes over to Sandra and hugs her. "It took her this long?"
"No but we, we had a stop to make." Sandra hugs Odd and kisses him. Yumi had a bouncing baby boy."
"Bouncing? Doesn't it hurt the baby to see if they bounce?" Odd laughs at the joke. "Um, while you were gone on the news, um, Aelita's back." Odd looks down at the ground.
"I know. They have a TV at the hospital." Sandra sighs. "This sucks. Yumi has a baby it's amazing but Xana is still out there." Sandra sits down on the ground then Odd does. "Just have to wait. Jeremie will stop her and then um, maybe we could, you know."
"I know." Odd kisses Sandra on the lips. "After being around Sanne and now that Yumi and Ulrich have a baby it makes a guy realize just how special they are." Odd holds onto Sandra's hand as they talk.
"Good, I'm glad to hear Yumi's fine." Jeremie had put Sanne down for a nap. "Did they say when she was allowed out?"
"Sometime tomorrow."
"Ok. I have three more bottles for Sanne. I hope Yumi can handle two babies." Jeremie looks back at his trailer.
"A woman's body is able to adapt amazingly. Not that I know from personal experience and it will be a long time until I do." Senoid and Vallejo were having too much fun being free. Traveling across the world going anywhere they wanted to was everything they wanted. In the future they would want a child but for now they were free to do anything they wanted. They were remade by Sanne and Jeremie when they turned eighteen. They were finally allowed out of the Hermitage and lived on their own. They left France just to make sure no one recognized the undead William or Samantha, now known as Vallejo and Senoid. Since then they had traveled around the world using the money Ulrich gave them from his lottery winnings. They had invested some of it like the others had but unlike the others they weren't planning on making a business of their own or working for someone else. They were free. "I'm sure Yumi misses Sanne already. She's such a good baby."
"She's incredible but I'm worried about something else." Jeremie hadn't told any of the others about his concerns with Yumi and Sanne. He tells Senoid about his concerns. "I know some people, when they adopt, they say it isn't DNA that makes a mother it's caring and loving and stuff but I know Aelita loves Sanne. She just can't because of Xana."
"Jeremie I don't think you want to hear this since it is bad but, um, don't tell her Aelita is her mother." Senoid puts a hand on Jeremie's shoulder. "Just tell her that her mother died giving birth. Its true isn't it? That isn't Aelita its Xana. But don't tell her that monster that's destroying cities, killing millions, is her mother because that monster isn't."
"I guess Aelita did die. But, I, I can save her. I know I can." Jeremie had been working on the plans for his EMP bomb. "They say a baby doesn't remember the first three years of life. If we can stop Xana, free Aelita, soon then Sanne will never know a life without Aelita."
"You can do it Jeremie. You're the genius." Senoid hugs Jeremie. "Unless the military figures out a way to make an EMP bomb."
"How would they even know to make one? The military isn't exactly the brightest of the bright. Hell, if I didn't know about Xana I wouldn't even think of it." Jeremie sighs.
"I'm sure you would. They might think that being an alien Aelita has electronics and they will make one to try and knock those electronics out." Senoid sighs. "Something like that you know?"
"Maybe. It would be nice if the military did the work for me." Jeremie laughs a little. "So Yumi, her baby, it's a boy right?"
"Yep. She named him Krieger Buke Stern. I know Yumi and Ulrich argued about who would name the baby and I think Ulrich's happy with the name that Yumi gave him."
"Getting to name a human being. I liked naming my inventions and things like that but naming a human being is different. I wonder what Aelita would have named her." Jeremie looks back at the trailer he shared with Ulrich and Yumi. "Probably something beautiful."
"Sanne is a beautiful name and I'm sure her mom would have been honored to have her granddaughter named after her."
"Yeah, she, she got to see her before she died. I'm glad Sanne and Jim got to see her before they died." Jeremie and Senoid keep talking until late into the night.
"It's late, I'm going to bed." Senoid yawns and stretches. "Vallejo is probably wondering where I am."
"You don't have to call him by his fake name now. We all know his real name and your real name Samantha."
"I have to call him by his new name or I'll slip up when we're in public." Senoid leaves Jeremie's trailer and goes to hers. "Hi Vallejo."
"What were you and Jeremie talking about all this time?" Vallejo is lying on the bed.
"Stuff I can't repeat in here mostly. He's concerned about Sanne and Yumi and Aelita. He doesn't want Sanne to think Yumi is her mom but well, you know, she kind of is."
"Yumi's a good mother. She's a great mother. Yumi's coming back tomorrow right?" Senoid nods. "I'm glad she's ok. I feel sorry for Ulrich though having to deal with two crying babies."
"They don't always cry Vallejo." Senoid lies next to Vallejo on the bed. "After all that talking I have lots of energy." Senoid kisses Vallejo before she reaches over and turns the light off.
The next day Yumi and Ulrich are checking out of the hospital with Krieger. "Thank you, um, the check up is two weeks from today right?"
"Yes ma'am. It's routine just to make sure the baby and the parents are doing fine. Being new parents can be really hard sometimes."
"I've already been taking care of another child." The nurse looks at Yumi with a quizzical look. "Her mother um, died in delivery so I've been breast feeding the baby and stuff."
"Oh how kind of you Mrs. Stern. Getting some practice before having your own child." The nurse laughs lightly. "Just sign here and you can leave." Yumi signs a document. "How long are you going to be out at the caves? Your baby shouldn't probably be out there."
"What, why?"
"Well whatever you are doing out there probably will keep you busy and you really shouldn't be doing much."
"Oh they already told me I can have a month off but I love it out there so they said I could stay. Those caves are beautiful. I'm going to hate leaving them once the shoot is done."
"For what company is all this for again?"
"X Sports. You know Odd Della Robbia maybe. He's done stuff at the X Games and some other things like this."
"Odd, Odd, yes that name sounds familiar." The nurse puts the document away while thinking about the name. "Be careful on that four wheeler. Not really what I would be driving with a baby."
"I'll be careful and so will my husband." Yumi looks over at Ulrich who was holding Krieger. "We wouldn't risk our child." Yumi goes over to Ulrich. "You're going to have to give him to me so you can drive."
"I know." Ulrich hands Krieger to Yumi. Sit down in the trailer and keep a hold of him. He likes to squirm around." Ulrich smiles at Yumi and Krieger. They leave the hospital and get on the four wheeler and trailer. Ulrich drives slowly back to the camp site.
"What is that noise?" Jeremie was playing with Sanne when he hears a noise. "Sounds like an engine. It is probably Yumi and Ulrich." Jeremie picks Sanne up. "Good thing to since I only have one bottle left." Jeremie takes Sanne out of the trailer and sees the others were standing around waiting for Ulrich and Yumi. "I guess everything is ok."
"Hi!" Sandra and the others wave to Ulrich and Yumi as they get to the camp site. "Welcome back."
"It's good to be back." Ulrich parks the four wheeler next to the trailer he staid in. He gets off the four wheeler then goes to the trailer to help Yumi with Krieger. "And meet the newest Stern!"
"Aw he's as adorable as he was yesterday." Sandra and Senoid crowd around Yumi. "Yes he is, aw he's so cute!"
"Hi Yumi I'm glad you're ok." Jeremie smiles at her as he rocks Sanne. "I think someone missed you." Sanne makes some baby noises.
"I missed her to and now she has a playmate!" Yumi goes over to Jeremie and Sanne. "Say hi to Sanne." Krieger reaches out for Sanne and Sanne reaches for Krieger. "They're so cute."
"They're adorable." Jeremie smiles and laughs as Sanne makes noises at Krieger. "How do you do it?"
"How do I do what?"
"To feed Sanne. It was so hard to get her to feed from a bottle." Yumi laughs. "Hey it's not my fault if a bottle isn't as good as um, the real thing." Jeremie blushes. He had seen Yumi breast feed Sanne but tried to avoid it. "Um, did Ulrich tell you about Aelita?" Yumi's look answers Jeremie's question. "She's back." Yumi frowns. "She, she destroyed Las Vegas."
"But, no. If, if a nuclear warhead wasn't able to stop her…" Yumi suddenly feels sick. "No."
"It means that a nuclear weapon isn't what will stop Aelita. My EMP Bomb plans are almost done and soon I'll start building it. I'm still not sure how to get it near Aelita but I'll have time to work on that." Jeremie had been discussing with Ulrich about the parts and already had plans on how to get them. "By this time next week we could be done with hiding." Jeremie smiles hoping to make Yumi feel better. But that wasn't enough. Only the death of Xana could make Yumi feel better. Only stopping Aelita could make everyone feel better.
More then a year after Xana rose from the ashes the Lyoko Warriors were still hiding. Jeremie had worked on his EMP device but things were going slow. Ulrich didn't want Yumi to know he was using his powers to get the pieces so had to do it when Yumi was busy. With both Sanne and Krieger Yumi was almost always busy but it was still difficult for Ulrich.
Xana however was also busy. Destroying Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland on Sanne's birthday. Xana's attack caused a massive earthquake killing thousands more in the surrounding areas. After moving north up the coast Seattle had been evacuated.
Jeremie finishes a part on his EMP device when he hears crying. "Sanne's up." He hears another cry. "And so is Krieger." He goes to the trailer now known as the Baby Trailer to check on Sanne and Krieger. "Hi there little ones." Jeremie picks both of them up. "It's ok." He rocks them in his arms. "I wonder where Yumi and Ulrich are." Part of Jeremie's question is soon answered when Yumi comes out of the small bathroom completely naked. She was taking a shower when she heard the crying. "Oh, um, Yumi." Jeremie looks away.
"Oh, Jeremie. You got them ok?" Yumi wasn't as uncomfortable as Jeremie was. Jeremie had seen her feed the two babies before and she knew Jeremie would never look at her in an inappropriate way. She quickly grabs clean clothes she had forgotten to get before heading back into the small bathroom.
"Wait, she grabbed some of Ulrich's clothes." Jeremie blushes. "Uh, Yumi, I'll take them out so they can play for awhile."
"Thanks Jeremie." Yumi goes back into the bathroom with the clean clothes as Jeremie takes Krieger and Sanne out.
"Aw, aren't they cute?" Sandra was with Odd in their trailer. "Babies are so cute aren't they?"
"Yeah then they grow into teens." Odd hugs Sandra from behind and looks out the window. "Just remember that. One day they'll grow up and act like we did." Sandra laughs.
"I'm sure they won't have to fight Xana." Sandra feels Odd squeeze her in his arms. "Jeremie will get his EMP bomb thing to work and stop Xana." Sandra and Odd continue watching Jeremie with the babies.
Later that day after the two babies were tired Jeremie puts them to bed. Ulrich and Yumi were making food on the stove. "Um, thanks for the uh, privacy Jeremie." Yumi smiles at him. Yumi, after giving birth, had been working out again and was almost back to her normal self. "I'm sure Krieger behaved himself." Yumi looks over at her son and smiles in a way only her son could make her smile. "He's such a good boy. And Sanne is a good girl."
"Yeah." Jeremie smiles at a sleeping Sanne. "I wonder when they get older if they will think they are brother and sister."
"Maybe. If they grow up together like they are." Yumi goes over to Jeremie. "Jeremie, I want to talk to you, in private." Yumi whispers this so only Jeremie can hear her.
"Uh, ok." Yumi leads Jeremie outside and they go deeper into the cave. "What do you want to talk about?"
"What is Ulrich doing?" Jeremie looks away. "I know he's up to something. How have you been getting those parts for you EMP device?" Jeremie doesn't answer. "Jeremie?"
"I, well, Ulrich has been helping me with that." Jeremie laughs nervously trying to ease the tension. "He uh, uses his power to get the parts I need so we can stop Xana and free Aelita."
"And you thought you didn't have to tell me because?" Yumi crosses her arms and taps her foot waiting for an answer.
"Because Ulrich didn't want to worry you. He hasn't been using his powers a lot so the corruption doesn't affect him but he didn't want you to worry about that. He just wants you to be happy."
"I see. And making me worry when he suddenly disappears is better?" Yumi raises an eyebrow.
"Well, I guess not. Sorry Yumi."
"It's ok. Are you sure the corruption isn't hurting him? We all know what happened to Elisabeth." Yumi couldn't help but remember. When the anniversary of Elisabeth's death came Ulrich felt horrible for not seeing Elisabeth's grave and leaving flowers. He promised himself he would every year and this was the first year he didn't. Jeremie nods. "Ok. Ulrich said he is making something special. I wonder what it could be."
"Ulrich cooking is special enough." Jeremie and Yumi laugh as they go back to the trailer.
Three weeks later after Seattle and Boise had been destroyed by Xana the government was ready with its new plan. The alien had showed up in Kansas City and the air force was moving quickly. Months ago they had been given an idea through a call. Why the government scientists didn't think of it the tax payers would never be told. But it did make sense. The alien was probably using advanced technology. If you destroyed the technology the alien would be helpless. To destroy that technology they would use an electro magnetic pulse bomb. "Echo 1, Echo 2, and Echo 3, ready for launch." Three jets take off from a military base.
"Echo 1 to Ground Hog we have visual." The lead jet sees the alien flying above Kansas City. "Echo 1 to Ground Hog permission to launch the weapon." There is some static then a response.
"Permission granted. Fire at will I repeat Echo 1 fire at will then return to base." There is more static then nothing.
In a cave in the American southwest the Lyoko Warriors were watching the TV. Odd had turned it on for noon news when they saw a report on Aelita. "The military is proceeding with a top secret plan. What it involves no one knows yet but you can see the air force and the army working together." On the screen the camera man gets the three jets and advancing tanks. "Wait, the jet is firing something. The jet just fired a missile at the alien. Will it be effective? Or will we have the same result as the nuclear warhead attack last year?" The missile gets close to the alien then explodes. But unlike a normal missile a blue wave comes out and hits the alien.
"No, those idiots!" Jeremie recognizes what the weapon was. "You need a concentrated beam! That will only piss Xana off!" Jeremie yells this and the others stare at him. "No, Aelita." He sees Aelita, the alien, fall from the sky. "There is no way that worked. Xana's too strong."
"Too strong for what?" No one else knew what the military had fired at Aelita, the alien.
"They made an EMP bomb but that won't work. That will hit Xana with one burst then leave him alone. They need to make a concentrated beam of EMP energy to tear him from Aelita then tear him apart." Why Jeremie was having such a hard time with his EMP device. To make a simple bomb would be easy. He made one when he was just a teen but to make the EMP device that would fire a constant beam of energy was hard.
"It's amazing! Whatever it was it seemed to have knocked the alien from the sky!" The reporter is yelling in victory. The camera shows the tanks moving into the city as the two jets behind the lead jet drop bombs on where Aelita fell. "The military did it! It's over!" The tanks open fire blasting the spot Aelita fell. Troops fire guns and rpg weapons at the spot. The sound of gunfire and explosions is so loud it wakes up the children in the next trailer.
"I'll get them." Yumi leaves the trailer and goes to check on the children while the others watch the TV.
"Wait, what's that?" A weird orb of energy had appeared. "No, it, it didn't work!" Aelita rose into the air. The energy shield blocking missiles and bullets. "No, we have to get out of here!" The reporter and the camera man run for the news van but were too late. Aelita sends out a wave of energy destroying Kansas City with a single blast.
"No." Aelita had killed more people. "Jeremie what parts do you need?" Ulrich sparks with energy. His anger was getting a hold of him. "Jeremie I'll get them now. I'll help you build it."
"Ulrich it's not that easy. The charger needs time to get filled and I don't know where to get some of the parts. That and I don't know how to keep the charge being used in a single blast and keep it in a single beam." Jeremie understood Ulrich's anger but couldn't help him.
"Then stop watching TV and figure out where the parts are. I can charge the battery or whatever it is." Ulrich's hand sparks with energy scaring everyone in the trailer. They didn't know Ulrich was using his powers to get the parts for Jeremie's EMP device.
"I, ok." Jeremie stands up and leaves the trailer. He didn't know what to do. There were certain parts that he had to get but didn't know where they would be. "Wait, the military made an EMP bomb. But where did they make it? If I knew where they had the parts I could make my device." Jeremie turns around when he hears foot steps and sees Ulrich. "Ulrich, the parts, the military probably ahs the parts that I need but I don't know where. If they, If I somehow, I need access to a computer. But I don't think the town has one powerful enough."
"How about a military computer? I could take you with me into a military base so you could use they're own computers."
"Brilliant!" Jeremie smiles as he thinks about it. "It won't take too much power will it? We can't have you snapping and losing control." The main worry Jeremie had as did Yumi.
"I can do it. If it means stopping Xana I can do it."
"Well um, the nearest base from here is probably Area 51 but we can't go there the security is too tight."
"Jeremie. I can turn us into a black mist. We can get in there." Ulrich turns himself and Jeremie into a black mist and take off for Area 51. The most secretive base in the world.
"No." Yumi has Sanne and Krieger with her when she sees Ulrich and Jeremie disappear. "Don't do anything stupid." She takes Sanne and Krieger over to the cave to let them enjoy echoes. As toddlers they liked to squeal and make noises that would echo around the cave.
"Whoa." Jeremie shakes off the weird feeling he had from being turned into a black mist. "Whoa." Now he is stunned by what he sees. Computers beeping and things flashing across the screen. He goes over to a computer and touches the screen. The screen flashes and a scroll bar comes up. "Ulrich this might take me awhile. Jeremie's fingers fly over a keyboard.
"I'll make sure no one interrupts you." Ulrich morphs into his Lyoko uniform for a disguise.
About twenty minutes later Jeremie gives out a shout of celebration. "I got it." He points at the screen.
"Got what?"
"The address that the EMP bomb was built at. If we go here we can get all the parts we need." Jeremie prints out the address when the door to the room opens. "Oh crap."
"Hey!" The man reaches for his side arm but Ulrich attacks him. Ulrich doesn't use his swords and instead uses his powers to knock the man out. Ulrich makes sure the man is still breathing.
"Hurry Jeremie where are we going?" Jeremie hands the address to Ulrich. "I don't know where this is."
"This military base and that one are connected. If we follow the connection we can get there."
"Time to travel in style again." Ulrich puts a hand on Jeremie's shoulder and they both turn into black mists.
A few minutes later the guard wakes up. "No, that, that was an alien." He gets his walkie talkie out. "There's been a breach! A, it was an alien! A different one though and I think there was another one!"
"What? Say again."
"There was an alien in the second office on floor 3b! I, I don't know what they were doing." The guard looks over at the computers and sees what was on the screen. "They're going to Andrews Air Force Base!" Jeremie in his hurry didn't close the screen.
"Red alert!" Andrews Air Force Base was ready for the alien attack. The jets were set up to take off as troops grabbed body armor and weapons. Unfortunately as they looked up into the sky the "aliens" were sneaking into the base through the electrical wiring.
"Ok I think this is it." Jeremie looks around a large room. "Ulrich help me find an electro flux capacitor, two servo size three surge belts and a lithium charge circuit box." Jeremie looks in a box then closes it.
"Uh, what do those things look like?" Jeremie explains to Ulrich what he was looking for. "Sounds easy enough." Ulrich closes his eyes and uses his energy to look for the parts.
"Hey! The alien!" Ulrich loses his concentration when a guard comes in. "I found the alien!" The soldier points an assault rifle at Ulrich and fires at him. Ulrich uses his powers to create an energy shield and blocks the bullets. "No, please, I, orders." The soldier, a man who had faced death and destruction in combat backs away from the alien.
"I'm not the enemy! I am the one fighting the other alien!" Ulrich tries to change his voice to as deep as possible. "I am looking for parts to create a device to stop her!" The soldier nods and keeps backing away. He is almost out of the room when more appear.
"The alien!" Three soldiers lift their rifles and shoot at Ulrich.
"You fools!" Ulrich's powers were protecting him but he knew if he kept using his powers like this he would start to feel the corruption creep up his spine and into his brain like old times. "I am not the enemy! I am here to stop that evil being! Leave me now or die!" The soldiers aren't sure what to do. "Or die!" Ulrich sends energy at the soldiers and they retreat. Ulrich then closes his eyes and finds the parts Jeremie was looking for. They float out of the boxes they were kept in and move over to Ulrich and Jeremie.
"Good job Ulrich." Ulrich then turns himself, Jeremie, and the parts into a black mist. They leave the base and head back to the camp site they were hiding at with the parts.
The next couple of months Aelita destroyed Oklahoma City then moved into Texas wiping out Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Jeremie was working hard on his EMP device but was having a little trouble. "The capacitor doesn't fit! It has to fit! I need one this large to handle the power it will take to rip Xana from Aelita then tear him apart!" Jeremie tries to force the electro flux capacitor into a space that was simply too small for it. "I have to extend the length between, no, I need more wire here." Jeremie continues to work on his EMP device.
Another month passes before Jeremie finally completes his EMP device. "I've done it. But first to test fire it." Jeremie looks around trying to think of something he could use as a test subject. "Odd, where's your Gamepad?"
"In my trailer, why?" Jeremie doesn't answer Odd as he goes over to Odd's trailer and gets the Gamepad. He turns it on to make sure it worked then took it over to the cave.
"Jeremie what are you doing?" Yumi and Ulrich were keeping an eye on Sanne and Krieger.
"Testing." Jeremie sets the Gamepad down on the ground then walks back to his EMP device. He has trouble lifting it but eventually gets it set up. "Please work." He throws two switches then pushes a button. A beam of blue energy comes out and hits the Gamepad and lasts for thirty two seconds before turning off. "Yes! It worked! And when fully charged it will hit for a lot more power and a lot longer!" Jeremie's yelling gets everyone's attention.
"What's going on?" Odd looks around and sees his Gamepad sitting on the ground. He goes over and picks it up. When he goes to turn it on nothing happens. "Jeremie what did you do?"
"I'll buy another one once Xana is beaten!" Jeremie was still celebrating. "It works! Once I added the three longer cables that were an extra gauge over what I originally put in I was able to make room for the electro flux capacitor." Jeremie picks Sanne up and hugs her. "Guess what Sanne?" She makes some noises. "No, soon mommy will be home." Jeremie was already imagining it now. He would somehow hit Aelita with the EMP device and destroy Xana. Then he would take Aelita home to finally meet her daughter.
"Wait, Jeremie, are you on something?" Vallejo isn't sure what he heard. Jeremie said soon Aelita would be home.
"No. I made something though." Jeremie sets the EMP device up. "I just have to figure out how to hit Aelita with it."
"That was always the hard part." Yumi and Jeremie talked a lot. "Maybe we could trick her?" Jeremie shakes his head.
"I want to live. I'm not leaving Sanne without a mother and a father." Jeremie looks down and smiles at Sanne who was still in his arms. "I'm going to raise her with Aelita."
"Well, then maybe we could do something else." Yumi picks Krieger up. "I, um, she wouldn't grow up without a mother and a father. Ulrich and I would take her in." Yumi smiles at Sanne. "I already feel like her mother after all the time I've spent with her and the things I did with her."
"You're not her mother." Jeremie's tone of voice makes Yumi realize she said the wrong thing. Jeremie had already told her he was scared that Sanne would consider Yumi her mother. Sanne's mother was Aelita and nothing would change that. Not even Xana could change that.
"I mean, if something were to happen to you."
"I'll think about it while the EMP device recharges."
"How long will that take?" Sandra takes the Gamepad from Odd. She was tired of him playing with it and was glad Jeremie destroyed it. "Does it need to be a full charge to stop Xana?"
"Yes. The more the better. If I could make two of them I would." Jeremie looks at the EMP device. "I don't know how long it will take to recharge. Probably a couple of weeks."
Two weeks later Jeremie was frustrated. The EMP device had reached half charge then stopped. "Why won't it take a full charge?" He messes with the charger and the energy cell. "The cables are too big. It keeps losing power because it leaks out of them." He sighs. "If I insulate them with another layer I can try to slow it down. I need Ulrich." Jeremie goes over to the trailer when he hears noises and blushes. "I can ask him later. Sanne and Krieger must be at Odd's trailer watching TV." Jeremie wasn't sure if the kids really watched TV or they just liked the flashing lights and colors but they liked TV. He goes over to Odd's and Sandra's trailer and knocks on the door. Sandra opens the door.
"Oh hi Jeremie looking for Sanne?" Jeremie nods as he enters the trailer. He sees Sanne and Krieger playing with a ball while sitting in front of the TV. "Ulrich and Yumi wanted some alone time." Sandra laughs a little knowing exactly what Ulrich and Yumi were doing. "What were you grumbling about?" Sandra had overheard Jeremie complaining about the EMP device.
"It keeps losing energy. I can't get it to a full charge. I should have seen it coming with the larger cables."
"Don't beat yourself up Jeremie."
"Aelita killed everyone in Little Rock because I forgot about the energy loss through large cables." Jeremie was going to beat himself up. He felt stupid for making this mistake. "I'm waiting for Ulrich and Yumi to be done so I can send him to get some insulation coating for the cables."
"Couldn't you buy those in town?" Jeremie shrugs his shoulders. "We're getting low on milk and apple sauce to. How about you go in so you don't have to wait for Ulrich? In fact you could take Krieger and Sanne. They like riding on the trailer." Sandra motions to the children.
"Yeah, ok." Jeremie goes over to the two children. "Hi guys, who wants to go for a ride?" The two make noises Jeremie assumes are agreements. "Ok, come on." Jeremie picks both of them up. "Getting too big for me to carry you both." Jeremie laughs and takes the two outside.
"What are you doing Jeremie?" Vallejo and Senoid were tanning in the sun. "Taking the kids for a ride?"
"Kind of. Going into town for supplies." Jeremie sets Sanne and Krieger down in the trailer.
"Oh could you get more sun screen and bottled water? We're almost out of both." Senoid looks over at the two children and makes faces at them. The two children laugh at the faces.
"Um, sure. Do you need anything else?" Senoid shakes her head. Jeremie then gets on the four wheeler and takes off for town.
"We do need something else Senoid." Vallejo sits up. "We're almost out of our…" Senoid interrupts him.
"Yes but we can get more on our own. Don't need to send Jeremie to buy those. He'd be too embarrassed anyways." Senoid rolls over to tan her other side. "If Aelita wasn't out there this would almost be like a vacation wouldn't it Vallejo?" He nods. "Of course our entire lives have been pretty much vacation ever since we were allowed to leave the Hermitage."
"Yeah." Vallejo leans down and kisses Senoid. "How about we lose one or two more?" Senoid laughs as they go into trailer.
"Ok I think that's everything." Jeremie puts the groceries on the counter. Jeremie looks outside to check on Sanne and Krieger who he left in the trailer. After he pays for the groceries he goes across the street to Jared's. "Jared?" Jeremie looks around. "Jared I need some rubber insulation for cables." Jeremie walks around the shop looking for the supplies he needed.
"Oh I thought I heard someone." Jared comes out from the back. "What you looking for Mr. Belpois?"
"I'm looking for, wait, I never gave my last name." Jeremie hears a clicking noise and turns to see a man in a black suit pointing a pistol at him. "What are you doing?" Jeremie backs away.
"You're one Jeremie Belpois. One of the alien's targets. Get down on the floor and put your hands behind your back."
"No, stay away from me." Jeremie backs away when he hears the sound of a shotgun being cocked.
"We turn you in the alien will go away." Jared has a shotgun pointed at Jeremie. "Please turn yourself in before it kills again."
"You don't understand Xana will wipe out the entire planet! He's a virus he will infect and destroy every planet in the Universe!" Jeremie backs into a wall. "Ok just, just don't hurt the children." Jeremie lies down on the floor and puts his hands behind his back.
At the campsite there is a miniature invasion. More then a dozen men dressed in black suits drive in on Hummers. "What's going on?" Ulrich and Yumi were cuddling after spending time together when they hear the noise of engines. "That doesn't sound like a four wheeler." Ulrich gets boxers on then looks out a window. "Yumi stay in here!" Ulrich grabs a shirt and puts it on as he runs out of the trailer. "What are you doing!?"
"Down on the ground!" Ulrich turns around and sees a man pointing a gun at him. "On the ground!"
"No!" Ulrich changes into his Lyoko form and gets his swords out. "Leave us alone!" He turns when he hears screaming. Three agents were dragging Sandra out of the trailer. Ulrich thinks Sanne and Krieger are still in that trailer. "You bastards!" Ulrich sparks with energy and attacks the three agents dragging Sandra out of the trailer. "Leave us alone we aren't the enemy!" Ulrich hears a gun shot. He uses his powers to block it. The remaining agents back away to their Hummers pointing they're guns at Ulrich. "Leave now!"
"On the ground! We need to turn you over to the alien! We already got your friend and the children!" These were the wrong words to say to someone who had the powers to destroy cities.
"I'll kill you all if a single hair is hurt on them!" Ulrich floats towards the agents who open fire at him. Ulrich uses his swords to block the bullets. "If they're even crying I'll kill you!" Ulrich gets closer and closer to the agents who start to back away. One opens a door on a Hummer and pulls something out. He throws it at Ulrich who hits it back with a sword.
"Get down!" The agents drop to the ground as the object explodes in mid air. "Retreat! We have one of them and the kids we can negotiate!" The agents jump in the Hummers and take off.
"Where are they, where's Jeremie and the kids!"
"In town." Sandra was holding her arm. She thinks it was dislocated when an agent pulled on it. "Save them." Ulrich turns into a black mist and flies into town where he sees Jeremie being dragged out of Jared's and into a Hummer. Ulrich looks around for the children when he hears crying.
"I don't think so." Ulrich forms into himself and flies down in front of the Hummer. "You son of a bitch." Ulrich sees Jared with a shotgun. "You turned us in didn't you?"
"I, I, we have to stop that alien!"
"Fool we are the ones trying to stop her!" Ulrich slices his sword through the engine of the Hummer. "Let them go!"
"Stop right there alien!" Two agents get out of the Hummer with guns drawn. "We have the children so just…"
"Leave them alone!" Ulrich loses control and blasts both agents with energy. "Jeremie, get out of the car!"
"I can't my hands are behind my back!" Ulrich's eyes start to glow as he uses more energy to rip the doors and roof off of the Hummer then breaks the handcuffs that bound Jeremie's hands. "Thanks Ulrich." Jeremie grabs the two crying children and runs for the four wheeler. Ulrich turns into a black mist and then turns Jeremie and the children into black mists.
"Something's coming." Sandra was still holding onto her arm. Her shoulder was hurting like crazy but she didn't know what to do. "Wait, a black mist, please be Ulrich with the others."
"It better be." Senoid has an ice pack over her eye after an agent punched her in the face. The black mist gets to the camp site and forms into Ulrich, Jeremie, and the children.
"What are we going to do?" Ulrich looks around at the camp site. "Is everyone ok?" The rest nod.
"We have to leave." Odd was in the cave when the attack happened. "We can't stay her anymore."
"Odd's right we have to leave, now." Yumi goes over to Jeremie and picks Krieger up. "We can't let them get the children."
"But where do we go?" Yumi shrugs her shoulders.
"We can go east, south, or north. Everything west of here has been pretty much destroyed by Aelita, Xana." Vallejo already had the dirt bikes in his trailer. "But we can decide later. Right now we need to pack and leave."
"He's right. We have to pack up and get out of here now." Odd looks around for anything that needed to be packed up. "Toys, clothes, anything outside get inside now. How are we carrying the four wheelers?"
"Leave them. We can buy new ones wherever we go." Vallejo looks over at the EMP device. "Jeremie need a hand with that?" Jeremie nods. Vallejo goes over and helps Jeremie load the EMP device into Jeremie's trailer.
A few minutes later they are trying to get the trailers out of the cave opening but can't get it up the ridge. "Ulrich can you use your powers to get us out of the cave?" Ulrich nods. He had used his powers a lot to fight the agents but could use his powers to lift the trailers without worry. He closes his eyes and uses his powers to lift the trailers out of the cave opening.
"Ulrich are you ok?" Yumi checks on him.
"I'm fine." Ulrich thought he felt something but it went away quickly. "We better hurry. They might send more soon." Ulrich goes over to his trailer with Yumi and Jeremie.
"Where do we go?" Sandra was concerned. What were they going to do now? Where they were was perfect. It was warm, the town was nice, and they weren't around others. Now they had to flee from both Aelita and the United States Government or end up being captured.
