I don't own Harry Potter or Code Lyoko

New Order

Ulrich rode the Overbike across the desert with Odd following him on the Overboard. Harry flew circles around them in the Overjet.

"You really did a great job, Harry!" called Odd. "Xana better behave himself now that we've got these things!"

"Thanks Odd."

"Be careful anyway," said Jeremy.

"Don't worry Einstein one! I know how to ride!" said Odd as he caught up to Odd. "No way am I going to let Ulrich beat me!"

"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Ulrich as he accelerated. They rode through a canyon. Odd flew along the walls before overtaking Ulrich.

"Odd, Harry didn't have time to perfect the program that calculates trajectory," said Jeremy.

Odd flew up a rock but hit another one. He flew across it and landed on his feet as Ulrich and Harry approached. Harry landed, jumped onto the wing and sat down as Yumi and Aelita came up on the Overwing.

"Odd!"

Aelita jumped off. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. I'm, sure there's still some work to be done," said Odd as he dusted himself off. "I mean, Harry did say there might be a few bugs that could only be found through testing."

"Maybe it's the rider who needs the work!" suggested Jeremy.

"What happened Odd?" asked Ulrich. "Did you miss a step?"

"Very funny," said Odd as Ulrich laughed. "I'd like to see you on an Overboard."

"I guess surfing's not my thing," said Ulrich.

"I hate to interrupt your fascinating conversation," said Jeremy "But it looks like Xana has spotted you. There's something coming your way. That's really weird. I can't tell what it is."

"A new monster?" suggested Harry.

"Possibly."

"Hey, what's that?" asked Yumi as she pointed at it. A four-legged spider-like monster walked up.

"I don't know," said Ulrich. "But I bet it is trouble."

"I've never seen a monster like that before," said Aelita as Harry climbed back into the Overjet. "Xana must have just created it!"

"I'm going to take a closer look," said Harry as he flew above it. The monster started to fire at him. Harry showed his skills in piloting by dodging all the lasers and flying back.

"That monster has more life points than the others," observed Jeremy.

"Show off. That jet is as fast as you are Harry," said Ulrich. "Does that mean we can't fly it?"

"You can fly it," said Harry. "But it would be very tricky because it's designed with my abilities in mind, not yours. You will be more likely to crash than anything else."

The monster stopped walking and pointed its lasers at them.

"Jeremy, how about reprogramming our vehicles?" asked Yumi.

"That's my next project," decided Harry. "A calling program for our vehicles. Shouldn't be too hard."

"I'm on it but it's going to take a while," said Jeremy as he typed away at the keyboard. Aelita ran behind some rocks.

"On my signal," said Ulrich.

"I'll go first," said Yumi.

"And I'm going to keep it busy," said Odd.

"I'll provide aerial support," said Harry as he started up the lasers on the Overjet. "Once I've found its weak spot."

"How come you get lasers?" complained Odd.

"Because it's easier for me to shoot lasers than throw shuriken at the monsters while using the Overjet," said Harry as he looked at the aiming reticule. "Don't worry. They won't hurt you unless I want them too."

"Now," said Ulrich and the fight began. Ulrich blocked the lasers as Yumi flipped herself over the monster. It turned around and Harry shot at it at the same time Yumi threw her fan. The monster shot the fan, causing it to go nowhere near the monster.

"Aelita, there's a deactivated tower not far away," said Jeremy. "North by north-west. Get out of there and come and meet me. Hurry up."

"Hey you overgrown spider, looking at me?" asked Odd as it turned to look at him. Odd climbed up a pillar of rock as it shot at him. He reached the top and the monster destroyed the support. Odd jumped off and got hit.

"You just lost twenty life points Odd," said Jeremy. "It's got a powerful laser."

"What does it take to destroy this thing?" asked Odd.

Aelita could see the tower from where she was running. Ulrich attacked the monster by running at it and blocking its laser.

"Harry, where's its weak spot?"

"Still looking. It's small, I can tell you that."

Ulrich glanced at Aelita and three lasers hit him and devirtualised him.

"Vehicles ready," said Jeremy as he loaded them up.

"About time," said Odd.

"I'm doing my best. I'm not Harry, you know. I can't type as fast as he can."

Odd and Yumi climbed onto their respective vehicles.

"I'll go first," said Odd.

"Go on. We'll be watching you," said Yumi as Harry flew far overhead.

Odd did a fey fancy tricks and shot at the monster as Aelita entered a tower.

"This thing is really unbeatable!" said Odd.

Harry tapped franticly at the display for the Overjet. It finally showed the monster's weak spot. "It's nose! Aim for its nose!" He yelled as Yumi flew alongside Odd. He flew down beside them.

"Need a hand?" asked Yumi.

"What where you saying Harry?" Asked Odd.

"Its weak spot is on its nose," said Harry. The monster fired again. Odd and Harry dodged but the Overwing got hit and Yumi fell to the ground where she devirtualised by several lasers.

"Yumi!"

Odd did another run and got devirtualised too.

"Now it's just me and you," muttered Harry as he loaded up an effect for his laser. He lined the reticule up with the target and fired twice. The lasers homed in and the monster blew up as Harry landed.

"I'm bringing you in Harry," said Jeremy as Harry's avatar peeled away into pixels and disappeared.

Lab

"If Xana's going to start programming new monsters, it means our troubles, guys, have only just begun…" said Jeremy.

"As opposed to what? All the trouble he gave us when we materialised Aelita?" asked Harry.

"Anyway, you're going to have to program our vehicles faster," said Odd as he looked at the computer. "Otherwise we don't stand a chance against those Tarantulas!"

"Your aunt is what?" asked Harry.

"Tarantulas! The new monsters! I like to give my enemies a name!" exclaimed Odd.

"What frightens me is that our good friend Xana has obviously found a way to increase his power," said Jeremy.

"You think he's still evolving?" asked Ulrich.

"Maybe so. From now on, we have to be ready for anything and everything!" said Jeremy. Ulrich turned to Harry.

"How did you defeat the Tarantula anyway?"

"Shot it in the nose," said Harry, grinning.

"I'd better be getting back to Lyoko," said Aelita s she stood up. "If Xana activates a tower, I'd better be there."

"Uh…should we tell her?" asked Jeremy.

"Well of course we should tell her, why keep good news like that a secret?" asked Yumi.

"Yumi has a point," said Harry.

"Keep what a secret?" asked Aelita. "Will someone please tell me what's going on?"

"Harry improved his scan program for detecting towers," explained Jeremy.

"A super scanner," said Odd. "Much more accurate."

"With instant detection," continued Harry. "That means you don't have to live on Lyoko."

"So I'm going to live…"

"Here, with us. We've already enrolled you as a boarder at the school!" said Ulrich.

"Everything's all set up. We wanted to surprise you!" said Yumi.

"I… this is so wonderful! I can't believe it!"

Kadic

"And this is your room. It's not very big, but you'll like it here miss uh…" Jim stumbled for her name.

"Stones. Aelita Stones, like the rock group. I'm Odd's cousin from Canada!" said Aelita.

"Oh! So, Aelita, breakfast starts at 7 am, and dinner's at 7 pm. It's against the rules to be in your room between 8 am and 4:30 pm. You can ask your friends Della Robbia, Stern, Stern and Belpois to fill you in on the rest of the rules. That is if they can remember them!" said Jim.

They looked sheepish.

Outside

"I don't want to hear another word about the school newspaper," said Ms Hertz. "This is an excursion for eighth and ninth graders only. Is that clear?"

"Hey, what's this field trip everybody's talking about?" asked Aelita as Milly and Tamiya walked reluctantly away.

"We're going to make a biodiversity scrapbook. Ms Hertz wants us to take pictures and to draw plants and flowers," explained Jeremy. "Originally it was going to be me and Harry but we got permission for you to come in our group."

"Kiwi, stop wriggling around," said Odd as Kiwi struggled to get out of his backpack. "Five more minutes and you can run around all you want."

"Hey Aelita," said Harry as he walked over. "How's the room?"

"It's nice."

"Has anyone seen Ulrich?" asked Odd.

"He was waiting for Yumi I think," said Harry.

"Hey Yumi," said Ulrich as Yumi walked over and kissed him.

"Yo, Yumi! Ms Hertz said ok, we can work together on the field trip!" called a spikey black haired boy.

"Hey! W-William, do you know Ulrich?" asked Yumi.

"Huh. Oh, you're Ulrich Stern. Yumi mentioned you. Ready to go?" asked William coldly.

"Coming!" called Yumi. "I would have liked to go with you Ulrich but…."

"I see you have no choice," said Ulrich. "I'll see you later then. Want to go to the cinema?"

Yumi nodded. "There's a film I'd like to see."

They separated.

"What's up with you?" asked Odd. "We have to be back by six."

"Who's that guy?" asked Ulrich.

"That's William," said Odd. "New guy. He got kicked out of his last school. He's cool. But not as cool as your brother. Smart, loner, handsome. That's what your brother is. Caused quite a stir when we befriended him."

Ulrich looked at him.

"What?"

Town

"Did you know that trees grow new branches from one year to the next according to an exponential ratio of 1.6?" asked Jeremy.

"1.618 to be exact; it's the golden ratio. Say, do you think nature obeys non-linear equation systems?" asked Aelita.

"I don't think they do so intentionally," said Harry as they entered the woods.

"Do you believe those there?" asked Sissi. "Who do they think they are? Mr and Mrs Einstein and Mr Einstein's brother, Mr Einstein?"

Sissi went to cross the street.

"Hey, Sissi? Where are you going?" asked Herb. "The woods are this way!"

"Yes, but the stores are that way!" said Sissi.

"But…we're supposed to draw plants…" said Herb slowly.

"There's a florist in the shopping centre."

"Oh."

Woods

"Nah, there aren't any monsters in these woods!" said Jeremy "That only happens in fairy tales or in silly horror pictures, heh, the kind that Odd likes!"

"That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be careful," said Harry.

"You don't like horror films," stated Aelita.

"I find them inaccurate scientifically speaking," said Jeremy. "Anyway I don't have time to go to the movies. I've got my work cut out with Xana."

He grabbed his bag.

"Oh no. I don't believe it. I forgot my laptop! What if Xana attacks?"

"Run and get it," said Aelita. "I'll work with Harry. With the drawings we've already done I'm sure we'll get the highest grade."

"I'll stay with Aelita," agreed Harry.

"Yeah, be right back." Jeremy ran off back down the path.

Ulrich

"Oh stop freaking out, you know Yumi's crazy about you!" said Odd as Ulrich looked through his camera at Yumi and William.

"I don't trust William."

"You only met him today," pointed out Odd.

"And he's already set his sights on Yumi."

"I really wouldn't call myself a rebel," said William. "I'm just a little rebellious."

"You did manage to get yourself kicked out of your last school putting posters all over the place," said Yumi.

"I object your honor, extenuating circumstances," said William as he put his hand in the air. "They were love letters."

"You mean love makes you crazy?" asked Yumi.

"Makes me totally insane." They looked at each other.

Harry

Aelita looked around as she heard a noise.

"You ok Aelita?" asked Harry as he looked at her.

"Don't you hear that noise?"

Harry frowned. "What noise?"

"Monsters only exist in fairy tales…monsters only exist in fairy tales…!" muttered Aelita.

"Oh great," muttered Harry. "Aelita, you're getting yourself worked up over nothing."

Aelita started to run.

"Aelita!" Harry ran after her. She froze clutched her head and saw a wolf. She started to Run again, Harry on her heels.

Lyoko

A tower in the ice sector turned red.

Harry's and Jeremy's dorm

Jeremy was just about to pick up his laptop when it started to beep.

"Just what I was afraid of! Xana's attacking!"

Harry

Harry clutched his head as heran. "Why now?!" he moaned.

Ulrich

"I don't think I have to remind you that we haven't done a single drawing since we got here. I don't even want to think about the grade we're going to get…" said Odd as he stroked Kiwi.

"Go ahead, you draw. You're better than me," said Ulrich as his phone rang. "Jeremy?"

"I'm at school. Xana's attacking. I'll head to the factory. I need someone to tell Harry and Aelita."

"Knowing Harry, they already know," said Ulrich. "We'll go make sure though."

"They were on the red trail. Is Yumi with you?"

"No, she's with William."

"Actually, I don't do anything half way," said William. "No way. It's all or nothing with me. I just can't be sensible. But hey, being sensible is just not sensible!"

"You stole that line from the subsonics," said Yumi.

"You listen to them?"

"Yeah, they're awesome." Yumi's phone rang. She answered. "Yes?"

"Well, it's about time we got back to work," said William as he stood up. "Yumi? Yumi?"

She had disappeared.

Harry

Aelita had stopped, out of breath. Harry ran up to her.

"What was that about?" he asked.

"I saw a wolf."

"Aelita, you were just hallucinating," said Harry as he looked at her. "There weren't any wolves in the woods. We need to get to Lyoko though. Xana's attacking."

They looked at the derelict house and walked over to it.

"The Hermitage…" said Aelita, reading the sign on the fence. She clutched her head.

"Aelita!" Harry grabbed her shoulder. "What's the matter?"

"I don't know…" they walked through the gate and entered the house.

"Is anybody here?" called Aelita. The security camera looked at them.

Ulrich

"Are you sure this is the place?" Asked Odd as they looked around. Kiwi sniffed the notebook on the floor.

"That's what Jeremy told me," said Ulrich. Kiwi picked up the notebook.

"Look," said Odd as Kiwi ran off. "Let's follow him."

"You sure?" Asked Ulrich as they started to follow him.

"Hey, he may be dumb but he does have a nose on him," said Odd. Ulrich froze and nearly kicked Yumi.

"Hey…nervous aren't we?" asked Yumi. "What a warm welcome…nice!"

"Yumi, we can't find Aelita or Harry!" said Odd.

"We find one, we find the other," said Ulrich. "Harry sees Aelita as a little sister so he'll try to protect her."

Harry

Aelita opened the door and walked inside.

"Aelita be careful," warned Harry as he followed her. "Man, this place is dusty."

Smoke slipped out from behind a doorway. Aelita went into a room and had another vision. In it, a man with grey hair was playing the piano. She gasped.

"Aelita!" harry grabbed her shoulder as the smoke entered the room. Aelita screamed and Harry pulled her on her back and ran out of the smokes reach.

"Xana…"

Ulrich

"Don't tell me you haven't found her yet! What have you guys been doing?! She may be in big danger!" exclaimed Jeremy.

"Chill Jeremie, ok?" asked Odd. "We're doing everything we can! Who knows, maybe Aelita just went back to school? Kiwi led us to an old house in the woods. We're going to take a look inside. We'll call you back if we have any news. It sounds like you're being too worried. Harry will take care of her."

Odd ended the call and they walked into the house.

"Why doesn't Jeremy just call Harry?" asked Yumi.

"I don't know" said Odd. "I think he's too worried to think straight."

"Harry doesn't' normally carry his phone with him," said Ulrich. "He keeps it in his bag back at school."

"Aelita? Harry?" called Yumi. The door slammed shut behind them. Ulrich wiggled the door handle.

"It's locked… and no signal."

The furniture started to move around and one piece slammed into the door.

"That way," said Ulrich, pointing. They ran over. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Xana!" said Yumi.

"Yeah, and that means Aelita and Harry must be here somewhere!" said Odd. Some knives were sent at them and they ducked. They ran out the room and down the stairs, dodging all the time.

"Looks like Xana's trying to lead us somewhere…" said Yumi. They saw an unconscious Aelita and Harry. "Aelita! Harry!"

"Don't worry Princess, we're here… I smell a trap," said Ulrich.

"Why?" asked Odd.

"Xana getting the drop on Harry?"

"I see what you mean," said Yumi. The two woke up.

"Ulrich! It's a trap," said Harry. The door started to close but Odd stopped it.

"Get Aelita out!"

Harry and Aelita crawled under Odd's leg. Odd let go just as Yumi was about to crawl under. They tried to open the door.

"You'll be cooked alive if we don't get you out of there!" said Odd as he saw the heat gauge rise. They tried to open the door again but it wouldn't budge.

"Go to the factory with Aelita and Harry Odd," said Ulrich through the door. "Deactivate the tower. It's our only hope."

They ran down the corridor to a door but it was locked.

"I knew it," said Odd, annoyed. A bookcase slid down the corridor. Odd pushed Aelita out of the way and jumped over it. The door was smashed open.

"Kiwi!"

Aelita looked round as Odd hugged the dog. She had another vision of her and the man walking through it.

"Odd, there's a passage over there, I…I think it leads to the sewers!" said Aelita.

"This is no time for jokes, Aelita!"

"I think she might be on to something," said Harry. "Let's check it out."

They opened the door and locked down the corridor.

"Incredible," said Odd. "How did you know?"

"I'm not sure…"

Ulrich

Yumi sat down next to Ulrich.

"Yumi, I um…"

"Forget it, Ulrich. I should've told you about William sooner," said Yumi. "Trust me, I don't have many feelings for him."

Lab

"Aelita! I was really worried!" exclaimed Jeremy as the three walked into the lab.

"No time to lose, Einstein," said Odd. "Otherwise Ulrich and Yumi will end up like dim sum!"

"Ok, head to the scanners. I'll start the process."

The three went down and entered a scanner.

"Transfer Aelita. Transfer Harry. Transfer Odd. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Harry. Scanner Odd. Virtualisation!"

Lyoko

The three landed as the Overboard, the Overjet and the Overwing formed.

"Aelita, the Overwing is for you!" said Jeremy as Harry climbed in the Overjet.

"Our taxis are waiting for us, let's go," said Odd as the other two jumped aboard and took off. "Tower dead ahead."

"Be careful," said Jeremy. "Five Tarantulas dead ahead."

They stopped behind an ice formation.

"I'll never be able to fight my way through two of those horrors!" exclaimed Odd.

"It's not that hard," said Harry. "Hit them in the nose. Or let me take care of them."

"Maybe I can lure away one of them?"

"Aelita, what are you planning on doing?" asked Jeremy.

"She's going to steal the show!"

Hermitage

Ulrich had taken his shirt off because of the heat.

"Go ahead, I won't look…" said Ulrich as he looked away.

Yumi smiled and took her shirt off. They leaned against each other and blushed.

Lyoko

"Well, my little monster friends, did you miss me?" asked Aelita with a naughty wink as she flew over to the Tarantulas. One followed her.

"I was hoping to get more."

Harry flew down and hit two of them before having to avoid lasers.

The one following Aelita stood on its hind legs for a few shots before going back down. One hit the Overwing. Harry flew down and destroyed it.

"Yoohoo, surprise!" said Odd to one of the tarantulas at the tower as he came out from behind it. He fired and the Tarantula exploded. "They're not all that invincible!"

"Aelita, get in," said Harry as he indicated the seat behind him. Aelita climbed in and Harry took off again.

Hermitage

The gauge rose ever higher.

"Yu…Yumi…I um uh…what's um really going on…between you and uh…William?" asked Ulrich as he panted.

"Nothing at all…he's just…just a friend…" said Yumi as she panted too. "I fell for you more than him, as I told you."

Ulrich collapsed, unconscious.

Lyoko

Odd did another run and destroyed the remaining Tarantula.

"You do know that you now have ten thousand laser arrows?" asked Jeremy.

"Yep," said Odd as Harry landed.

"That was awesome," said Aelita. "Can we do it again?"

"Another time Princess," said Harry as they climbed out. "We have more pressing issues to deal with. Like who deactivates the tower."

"You go. You did just treat me to a really good ride," said Aelita.

You think that's good, wait until I do dodging," said Harry as he entered the tower, rose up top the platform and placed his hand on the screen.

Harry

Code

Lyoko

The files flew to the bottom.

"Return to the past now!"

Sometime after the time travel

"Hm…congratulations, Ms Delmas," said Ms Hertz as she looked at her drawing. "You found an Amazonian Yucca here in our woods?"

"Uh, yeah!" said Sissi. "And it wasn't easy either!"

"Is that do?" asked Ms Hertz, "Well, I think it's going to be much easier to grade this. Zero."

Sissi gaped.

"So did you manage to get any drawing done this time?" asked Jeremy.

"Yeah and I didn't have to drag Ulrich far away from Yumi and William. Going back in time changed something there."

Yumi separated from William as she walked over.

"I went to check out that house, the Hermitage," continued Jeremy. "Nothing to report. It's gone back to being a normal house. Abandoned, but normal."

"It's so weird, all those visions I had there…" said Aelita as she had a flashback of the Hermitage.

"Not to mention the underground passage that you knew about," said Odd.

"It's as if I'd already seen that house…in a dream," said Aelita thoughtfully.

"Tell me about it," said Harry. "I saw that house in a dream and everything that happened to us in the dream, happened there."

"A new mystery to solve for us!" exclaimed Yumi.

"How did you get knocked out anyway?" asked Odd to Harry.

"I, err, got hit in the back of the head," said Harry. "I had Aelita on my back so I couldn't move in the same way I do normally."

Everyone laughed.

"By the way, uh, Aelita? This is for you. It's to keep us one step ahead of Xana!" said Jeremy as he gave a box to Aelita.

"Oh, for me?" asked Aelita as she opened it to reveal a phone.

"This way we can always stay in touch!" said Jeremy as she picked it out of the box. "Hahaha! Uh, I thought that pink would suit you."

"Wow, it looks cool. It matches your hair!" said Odd.

"Hahaha! Thank you, Jeremy!" said Aelita s she hugged him. Harry chuckled.

"There you go, you're like a regular school kid now!" exclaimed Odd.
