Back in Kadic the group was surprised at the quick phone call.

Ulrich gave a serious glance "Jeremy what happened?" He asked

"Kat did you lock your door?" Jeremy asked quickly

Kat nodded "Yeah I did." She answered

Yumi turned concerned "what's wrong Jeremy?"

Jeremy turned quiet "Someone kidnapped Aelita…" He muttered "and I don't know who except that he left a message in her room."

Kat said "hmm I did see a plain envelope on her bed."

Jeremy hummed "Let's go." He stated as he got up.

Odd hummed with a mouth full "But I'm not finished." He moaned

Ulrich gave his roommate a glare "then stay behind." He snapped then took off followed by Yumi and Kat.

The group minus Odd headed up to Aelita room and Kat unlocked the door

Jeremy quickly entered and saw a brown document envelope on Aelita's Bed "Hmm" He worked with it and a flat panel screen the size of a Large Book slid out of it

Kat came up to look at what Jeremy had "What is it?"

Jeremy said "I don't know" he pressed the power button and the screen lit up.

Words appeared on the screen as XANA voice read them "Greeting Lyoko Warriors it has been a while since our last meeting. If you don't remember who I am then let me give you a hint."

The screen shifted as a huge Dark Red XANA symbol appeared on it

Jeremy said "No… it's impossible"

Ulrich said "XANA?"

Yumi said "but he's dead isn't he?"

The message continued "Yes, it's me my old friends. It's been such a long time almost a year since our last clash together. However I'm willing to meet with you again. See I have taken Aelita to my new home I have created. I have a challenge for you to see if you can be worthy opponents once again. Go to the Factory and go to Lyoko there will be a portal near the first tower I ever activated in the ice sector. Enter into it and then we can start the challenge however I do request you hurry up I have an very important meeting at 9: 30 your time and I would like to get this over with and Aelita in a very uncomfortable position right now Ciao."

The screen turned off

The group remained silent for a second taking it in

Ulrich said "It can't be possible but it is."

Yumi said "XANA's back"

Kat looked at Jeremy "So Jeremy we going to Lyoko?"

Jeremy looked up his eyes gaining a serious glare "Yeah…" He replied "this time I'm going with."

They all headed out Kat making a slight detour and getting Odd

When Odd joined with the group he said "you sure you want to go with us Jeremy?"

Jeremy hummed "I didn't want to tell you guys but I've been working with the supercomputer doing some reprogramming. I didn't touch your profiles but I did some stuff on mine. I got a email from a internet friend of mine over in America giving me some codes to work with using the supercomputer it's been amazing what those code have done for my form."

Ulrich said "What have they done"

Jeremy said "Well they given me access to new weapons for the forms and I've discovered a interesting code bit that give us access to what my friend called Elemental Powers"

Yumi said "Elemental Powers"

Ulrich said "Like Water and Fire"

Jeremy said "yeah even Earth, Air, Electricity and Ice as well"

Kat said "So cool! I call dibs on Water!"

Jeremy said "Easy Kat, I haven't programmed them into any of the virtual forms I didn't think we would need them."

Odd said "Well when we get Aelita back. You better get to programming them if XANA back we need all the help we can get"

Jeremy said "Right."

Ulrich said "So Jeremy who this internet friend you met"

Jeremy said "His name Karl Christopher he's a recent College Graduate with a four year degree in computer Science. He knows a lot about programming small robots. He made one dance to music."

Kat said "When they get a robot to dance on a DDR Pad I want to be the first one to beat him"

Everyone groaned

They made it down to the factory after a lot of running

Odd panted "remind me to bring my skateboard next time."

Ulrich nodded "Yeah… forgot we bought those up from the sewer."

Kat grinned "I don't need those on my heelies did perfectly"

Jeremy had ridden his scooter said "Come on we're almost there."

Everyone headed into the factory and went to their positions.

Jeremy sat down on his chair "Alright my friend we got our old enemy back it's time to take him down once again… You guys ready"

Ulrich said "Ready Jeremy"

Jeremy said "Start the process"

Ulrich and Yumi entered into the scanners

Yumi smiled at Ulrich "Let's do this."

Ulrich said "See ya on the other side."

Jeremy said "Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Yumi, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Yumi, Virtualization"

Ulrich and Yumi both were sent to Lyoko

Ulrich and Yumi landed in the Ice Sector

Ulrich said "We're in Jeremy."

Jeremy said "Good I'm sending the others

Kat said "I'm so Ready Jeremy."

Odd said "Let's go Coz just watch out for the first step."

They entered into the scanners.

Jeremy said "Transfer Odd, Transfer Kat, Scanner Odd, Scanner Kat, Virtualization"

Odd appeared right behind Ulrich and Kat landed with a flip.

Kat has a white and red dress and has fox ears on her head

Odd said "Well we're in Jeremy."

There was no response

Ulrich said "Jeremy?"

Jeremy walked up to them in his realistic outfit "Yes Ulrich"

Kat pointed "Hey where your costume."

Yumi was shocked that Jeremy just appeared "Jeremy how you get in without virtualizing yourself."

Jeremy said "Well one of the codes allows me to in a sense transmit my mind into Lyoko while my body stays in the real world all I had to do was create a head band around my head to transmit my mind. However I only have one so I'm using it"

Back in the factory Jeremy body was in a deep sleep like state with a headband connected to the computer

Odd said "Sort of like how they did it in the Matrix."

Jeremy said "Kind of Odd but if I get disconnected I can't leave Lyoko until someone reconnects me"

Ulrich said "So Jeremy you any better then last time."

Jeremy said "Much better watch this." He jumped and when he was in mid air a burst of electricity made him go even higher

Kat said "Cool a double jump!"

Jeremy said "Actually it's Static Boost it's one of the elemental moves I told you about having the lightning element give you that ability"

Ulrich said "Pretty nice."

Yumi said "Come on guys we got to get to the portal."

Jeremy said "the portal should be just east of here let's go."

All of a sudden something twitched in Kat dress and Strawberry shot out of it and chirped.

Jeremy said "What the."

Kat said "Oh I totally forgot Strawberry was sleeping in my shirt."

Jeremy pulled up a screen in front of him and said "Huh that interesting it's seems the computer managed to keep you two separated this time."

Kat knelt and petted Strawberry "This time?"

Odd said "We tried that with Kiwi once but it was a complete mess."

Kat said "Oh well come on girl let's go." she ran down the path

Strawberry chirped and followed

Everyone else followed and a few minutes later they found the portal which looked like a dark hole in the world

Jeremy said "Alright I'm going first."

Ulrich said "Jeremy Buddy System remember I'm going with you."

Jeremy said "Alright the rest of ya wait for us."

Ulrich and Jeremy entered and landed in a dimly lit room Aelita was on a chair nearby about 35 feet away

Aelita blinked and said "Jeremy?"

Jeremy said "Aelita, you okay?"

Aelita said "I'm alright for now but be careful it's a trap!"

Ulrich said "A trap huh."

Aelita said "Get too close to me and you'll spring it just be careful"

Jeremy said "Alright." He looked around trying to see what he could do to deactivate it.

Xanatos was watching them from a hidden spot and chuckled softly.

Back on Lyoko the others were waiting… Kat was full of energy and was playing with Strawberry by twirling a bow like whip that was her weapon.

Odd said "They are sure taking their time"

Yumi said "How much you want to bet they are trapped"

Odd said "My lunch for two weeks" He walked toward the portal

Strawberry ears twitched and she shot toward the portal ahead of Odd

Kat said "Strawberry Wait!" She entered

Odd said "Come on."

Yumi said "hmm" and both entered

Back with Jeremy and Ulrich, Strawberry shot out of the portal and ran toward Aelita

Aelita panicked "No Strawberry go away."

Kat came in following "Strawberry."

Aelita said "Kat stop!"

Kat kept moving and hit an area about 30 feet away.

All of a sudden energy surged underneath her and a panel about 3 feet squared turned a dim white.

Kat said "What the" and crashed into an invisible wall "OW!"

Aelita said "No You sprung the trap!"

Strawberry was on a panel that was a dim pink to the right of Kat and squeaked

Odd and Yumi entered afterward.

Odd saw his cousin trapped "Kat!"

Jeremy said "Guys I told you to wait. Now look what you done."

Kat said "Well Strawberry ran ahead I had to get her."

Ulrich said "What type of trap is this."

A voice said "The type of trap that you play to get out of."
