I don't own Harry Potter or Code Lyoko

Missing Link

"What can Yumi be doing? We have to get some data out of Sector Five!" said Jeremy as he glanced at his watch.

"It's not like her to be late!" said Ulrich.

"Maybe she's with William!" suggested Odd. Everybody looked at him. "I said "maybe"!"

"By the way Jeremy, have you made any progress on the antivirus recently?" asked Aelita.

"I haven't," said Harry. "Which got me to thinking that it isn't' really a virus. I mean, if it's a computer virus, I can normally whip up an antivirus easily. It feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall."

"It's not a normal virus," said Jeremy. "But it's going slowly. I'm missing a lot of important codes."

"But with a little luck, we'll find them together," said Odd as he put his hands on Aelita's shoulders.

"And then it's ciao Xana!" said Ulrich. "We'll finally be able to shut down the supercomputer."

"I think he'll find a way out," said Harry.

"We'd better forget about Yumi," said Jeremy as he glanced at his watch again. "I'm transferring you."

Odd, Aelita and Ulrich stepped into the scanners.

"See you in a few minutes," said Ulrich as the doors closed.

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

Harry stepped into one of the vacated scanners. Yumi entered the lab.

"There you are."

"Hi Jeremy. Sorry, I…"

"Get to the scanners," interrupted Jeremy. "Harry's waiting there."

Yumi went down and chose one of the scanners.

"Nice to see you again," said Harry. "What took you so long? Buying tickets for the subsonic concert that's coming soon?"

"Transfer Harry. Transfer Yumi. Scanner Harry. Scanner Yumi. Virtualisation!"

Lyoko

"A little longer and we would've started the party without you!" said Odd as the two appeared.

"Where were you?" asked Ulrich.

"I had something to do," said Yumi.

"What like?" asked Odd. "Being with William?"

"She wasn't with William," said Harry. "I think she was doing something else that took longer than expected."

Yumi looked at him. The others looked between them.

"Uh, if you say so," said Ulrich.

"Careful, you have visitors," said Jeremy.

"I'm going to give 'em a little Odd acupuncture!" said Odd as he aimed at the three Kankrelats. Harry took the lead and hit one of them before destroying another one.

"Laser arrow!" said Odd as he shot at the remaining one and it explodes.

"All down! Great way to start off the morning!" said Odd.

"More Kankrelats at five o'clock!"

Yumi sent her fan at one and it missed. They shot at Odd who was hit. Ulrich blocked the blows sent at him and Harry jumped out of the way. Yumi sent her fan off again and hit it.

"Pretty interesting welcoming committee!" said Odd as they regrouped.

"What do you expect?" asked Jeremy. "Xana hates it when we go fishing in Sector 5!"

Harry froze when he saw the Scyphozoa before running at Yumi.

"Oh no! The Scyphozoa!" said Jeremy. Ulrich and Odd looked at it.

"Huh?! Yumi!" Ulrich Super Sprinted and cut the monster's tentacles. It fled and dropped her. "Yumi! Are you ok?"

"Oh…I don't know…I feel kinda funny!" muttered Yumi as she got up.

"Well anyway, it seems to have scared the Kankrelats away," said Odd.

"Why would it go after you?" asked Jeremy. "I would have expected it to go after its usual targets of Harry and Aelita. We'll abort the mission! Materialisation Yumi! Materialisation Odd! Materialisation Aelita!"

Odd and Aelita climbed out of the scanners but Yumi remained on Lyoko.

"You must've tripped on your fingers, Einstein, Yumi isn't here!" said Odd.

"Jeremy? Is something wrong?" asked Yumi.

"I must've made a mistake! I'll reboot the program. Materialisation Ulrich! Materialisation Yumi!"

Ulrich walked out of his scanner.

"Missed again!" said Odd.

"I can't believe it," said Jeremy, head in his hands. "Yumi, I don't know what's going on. I can't devirtualise you."

"What?!"

"Go hide in a tower while I figure this out. Harry, you stay with her. Direction south south-east."

"I hope I'm wrong," muttered Harry as he went over what happened in his head.

"Why? What do you think is wrong?" asked Jeremy.

"Check Yumi's DNA code.

"Don't worry, I'll find the bug! You're safe in the tower!" said Jeremy. "Harry, I'll check it but I don't think that's what is wrong."

"It's not Xana I'm worried about, Jeremy, it's the principal!" said Yumi.

"Oh no, I almost forgot! Today's the class picture!" said a frightened Ulrich.

"What class picture?" asked Jeremy.

"Hello, the ninth grade picture? It's this morning! One day suspension for any unjustified absence! Thanks a lot, Delmas!" said Odd.

"Can you just picture my parents' faces if…if I get suspended?" asked Yumi.

"I'll do all I can. I promise Yumi," said Jeremy. "Harry can help from within the tower."

"Yep," said Harry as he walked to the centre of the circle and rose up.

"Hey, I have an idea! You know what a great actor I am, right? With a wig, a dress and a little make-up, I could take your place in the photo and bam! Signed, sealed and delivered!" suggested Odd.

"Signed, sealed and suspended is more like it! No way!" said Yumi dismissively.

"Hang on a second, huh? That's not a bad idea!" said Ulrich supportively.

"There, you see? Ulrich finally admits that I'm a great actor!" said Odd, grinning.

"You? You stink! But I know a really great actress!" said Odd.

"I could try using the tower," suggested Harry. "Make a fake Yumi like Xana did."

"You could try that," said Jeremy. "But I don't know if you can do it in time."

Kadic

Sissi was getting cleaned up. She walked out of the showers.

"Hi Sissi! Say, can I talk to you for a second?" asked Ulrich as he leaned against the wall.

"Uh well, yeah, of course!"

"I have something really important to ask you…" said Ulrich slowly.

"Who, me?" asked Sissi.

"And in exchange, I'm ready to do whatever you want!" said Ulrich.

"Anything?" asked an interested Sissi.

"Well…almost anything!" amended Ulrich as he realised the gravity of what he just said.

Lab

"In my opinion, when the Scyphozoa attacked you, it gave you a kind of bug Yumi," said Jeremy.

"Or he took something important for materialisation," said Harry.

"Could it have stolen some of my memory?" asked Yumi.

"That's strange," said Aelita. "It's my memory that Xana wants, not Yumi's."

"I think Harry's right that the Scyphozoa took something for materialisation," said Jeremy. "Stand still. I'm launching the digital analysis."

Yumi rose a bit and a circle of energy passed along her as she was scanned.

"Oh no. Harry was right. I don't believe it."

"What's the matter?" asked Yumi as she stood on the platform again.

"The Scyphozoa's stolen the sequence code for your human DNA!"

"Oh!" exclaimed Yumi then paused. "What's that?"

"Well when you're virtualised, you keep your human DNA sequence code. You can't do without it! It defines your molecular structure, which is the…" explained Jeremy in technobabble.

"Ok, ok! Just get to the point!" said Yumi impatiently.

"No DNA, no way to get back to Earth."

Yumi hung her head in despair. "Oh no…"

"Hey, we'll get you out of this," said Harry. "We just go for a trip to Sector Five. I can talk to Uncle about getting it back."

"That's not a bad idea," said Jeremy. "But we won't do it just yet."

Kadic

"I'm listening," said Sissi as she folded her arms.

"Well, since Yumi can't be here this morning, I'd like you to stand in for her, erm, in the ninth grade class photo…hehe…" said Ulrich nervously.

"Hm. Ok!" said Sissi.

"Huh? You…y-you'll do it? And um…what do you want in exchange?" asked Ulrich.

"You tell me everything you can about your handsome brother," said Sissi.

Ulrich sighed. "There are some things I won't tell you because he asked me to keep them a secret. I will tell you some things though."

"You can tell me later," said Sissi as she walked off tio her dorm. "When you and Harry have decided what you can tell me."

Lyoko

"Oh, this can't be true!" moaned Yumi as she paced the inside of the tower and Harry jumped down. "What about my parents? And school? And my brother? You have to find a solution, Jeremy! My whole life is on Earth!"

"Hey, calm down," said Harry as he grabbed her shoulder. "We'll get you back to earth. You'll see."

"Yeah, don't panic," agreed Jeremy. "We'll everything we can to get you back to earth."

"What if…" muttered Aelita.

"You have an idea?" asked Jeremy.

"I think so," answered Aelita. "Send me to Lyoko."

"What are you going to do?" asked Jeremy.

"Just trust me this time!"

"Alright. I'll bring you up close to the tower," said Jeremy as Aelita walked to the elevator.

Kadic

"A quarter of an hour to put on a dress and a wig, unbelievable!" said an exasperated Ulrich.

"There you go! What do you think?" asked Sissi as she crushed Odd and Ulrich against the wall when she opened her door.

"Not bad! The hair looks like Yumi's!" said a genuinely surprised Odd as he looked at her.

"Yeah, but she doesn't dress like that! She always wears black! And her dresses are longer, and less…" said Ulrich in expert mode.

"Less sexy? Well why don't you bring me one of her dresses?" asked Sissi.

"Right! Good idea, we'll try!" said Ulrich.

"Sissi's being uh…strangely helpful!" said Odd, looking at her door which she had just closed.

"Yeah, I suppose! Weird, huh?" asked Ulrich.

Lab

"Transfer Aelita. Scanner Aelita. Virtualisation!" The wind blew as Aelita closed her eyes. Once she was on Lyoko, Jeremy sent her the Overboard and she flew off.

"Alright, the tower is nearby Aelita," said Jeremy. "At ten o'clock."

Ulrich

Ulrich tried the door on a balcony at Yumi's house. "Cool, it's open! I'm in, piece of cake! Warn me if you see anyone coming!"

"I read you loud and clear, general!" said Odd as he stood guard and saluted.

Ulrich went inside and glanced around.

"I'll have another shiro-an. You did a very good job on the white bean paste!" said Yumi's dad.

Ulrich stepped on a GameBoy Color. He glanced at the door but Yumi's parents didn't notice it as they continued talking.

"You know, Takeho, I've been feeling depressed lately. You don't pay any attention to me! It's almost as if you never listen to me anymore!" said Yumi's mum. Ulrich started to move again.

"Mmm, delicious! Oh, sorry, what were you saying?" asked Yumi's dad, not listening and proving her right. Ulrich slipped into a room.

Lyoko

"Watch out for monsters! Aelita, now will you tell me what your idea is?" asked Jeremy.

"No!" said Aelita.

"NO Aelita!" cried Harry as he realised what her plan was. "You can't do that!"

"What are you talking about Harry?" asked Jeremy.

Yumi's house

"It's always the same thing," said Yumi's mum as Ulrich tiptoed over to the stairs and climbed them. "My mother warned me not to marry a man from Tokyo."

Ulrich went to Yumi's room as soon as he climbed the stairs. He looked at the stuffed toy Yumi had and smiled. He went to her wardrobe and looked at the clothes.

"Bingo."

He picked up a dress.

Lyoko

Aelita entered the tower to find Yumi and Harry waiting for her.

"You can't do this Aelita," said Harry immediately.

"You can't stop me," said Aelita as she went up to the centre of the platform. Harry rolled his eyes and followed to find Aelita on the screen, entering the procedure. Yumi followed them after a moment.

"Can you please tell me what Aelita's up to Harry?" asked Jeremy.

"I've started the process," said Aelita.

"What process?" asked Yumi.

"The process of transferring my DNA sequence code to your virtual structure!" said Aelita. Yumi gasped.

"WHAT?! Are you crazy?!" yelled Jeremy.

"Jeremy, Yumi's place is on Earth! If anyone should stay on Lyoko until we find a solution, it's me!" said Aelita.

"I don't agree with that! Aelita, stop at-!" said Jeremy as Aelita cut the communication and turns to Yumi.

"I knew he was going to say that!" said Aelita then glanced at Harry who stopped the process. "What?"

"I can't let you do that Aelita," said Harry.

"Why not?" asked Yumi.

"Because it will leave her memory exposed for Xana to take at will," explained Harry as he started to restore the communication with Jeremy. "And we don't want that to happen. This idea occurred to me too but I thought it through more than Aelita did."

Yumi's house

Ulrich stuffed the dress under his shirt and crept out of the room but went back in when he saw her mum up the stairs. His phone rang and he hid as Yumi's mum came in and looked around. She saw his phone on the bed and left, thinking it was Yumi's.

"Have you seen Yumi?" called Yumi's dad.

"No, she must have left for school already," said Yumi's mum as Ulrich crawled out from behind the cabinet and climbed out the window. "She forgot her phone."

Odd played his GBA SP.

"Odd! Is that how you stand guard?" called Ulrich as he climbed down the scaffolding.

"I didn't see anyone go by! You got the dress?" asked Odd quickly. Ulrich pulled it out as his phone rang.

"Jeremy, sorry. I didn't mean to hang up on you. It was that or getting caught by Yumi's mum."

"Listen to me. Aelita is on Lyoko trying to transfer her DNA sequence code over to Yumi," said Jeremy quickly. "Harry's delaying her but I don't know exactly what's happening as Aelita cut the communication."

"Uh, so what? You mean that's not a good idea?" asked Ulrich.

"No! Aelita doesn't know that when she transfers her code over, her memory will be exposed!" said Jeremy' "I'm sure Harry will work it out eventually but…"

"You don't know if he's stopped her. And are you saying that Xana will just be able to steal it?"

"He has stopped her for the time being," said Jeremy. "The code isn't changing but I don't know what's happening as I said. And yes, that will be what Xana wants to happen. That's probably why the Scyphozoa attacked Yumi. You need to get to Lyoko fast."Kadic

Kadic

"Ok! I wouldn't exactly call it glamorous, but it'll do! You can count on me!" said Sissi as she took the dress.

"Thanks Sissi," said Ulrich. "I'll tell Harry about our deal."

"Girls! You leave 'em alone for five minutes and it's mess after mess after mess!" said Odd as they ran to the factory.

"Jeremy, warm up the scanners, we're on our way," said Ulrich on the phone as he moved the manhole. They quickly ran to the scanners.

"Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Odd. Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Odd. Virtualisation!"

Kadic

Sissi walked over to the class and sat down.

"Hey, Yumi," said William as he put his hand on Sissi's shoulders. "I was looking for you this morning. Hey, wait. Who are you?"

"That's the principal's daughter, it's Elisabeth! Too weird!" said a boy called Matthias.

"Uh, listen, first of all the name is Sissi, and second of all, just shut up, ok?!" said Sissi.

"Ok, Elisabeth!"

Sissi slapped him.

Lyoko

"You should be able to spot the tower now," said Jeremy as Ulrich rode the Overbike.

"I can see it."

Odd and Ulrich ran in.

"I see you managed to stop Aelita," said Odd. Harry finished the communication link.

"Aelita, that was a stupid thing to do," said Jeremy immediately.

"I'm sorry but I thought I was doing the right thing," said Aelita.

"You're turning into a real human being! You're beginning to confuse generosity with stupidity!" said Odd.

"Anyway, we still have no idea how to save Yumi," said Ulrich.

"I do," said Harry as he raised his hand. "Go to sector five where Xana lives."

"I don't see why we need to go there," said Ulrich.

"Xana took Yumi's code," said Harry. "He'll probably hasn't deleted it yet. We'll find it there."

They ran to the edge of the forest sector and the transporter picked them up and took them to the centre of sector five.

"It's a good thing I didn't eat breakfast this morning," said Odd as he clutched his stomach.

"By the way Yumi, just a little detail," said Jeremy. "Without your DNA code, you can't be devirtualised. You're just as vulnerable as Aelita as you'll disappear forever."

The group ran through the entrance when it revealed itself.

"The countdown has started," said Jeremy. "Three minutes."

"We have to find the key first," said Yumi.

"Check at the end of the corridor. It's on the wall at the end of the room."

Kadic

"Why are you dressed up to look like Yumi?" asked William as the photographer set up.

"It's not your business!" said Sissi.

"Anyway, that dumb haircut of yours is really old-fashioned!" said Matthias.

"I never look old fashioned, understand? Everything looks fashionable on me!" said Sissi.

The class started laughing.

"Quiet down!" ordered the photographer.

"He's right! Shut up, will you?!" asked Sissi.

"What's all this noise about? Yumi? Is anything wrong? Yumi, I'm speaking to you!" said Delmas as he recognised his daughter. "Sissi?!"

"Uh, I can explain everything, Daddy darling!" said Sissi.

"Daddy darling! Daddy darling! Daddy…" repeated the class as the photo was taken. "Hahahaha!"

"That's enough!"

Lyoko

"It's over there," said Aelita as she pointed at it.

"Looks like a trap to me! But when you gotta go, you gotta go!" said Odd. He ran down the path as pillars started to fall. Ulrich used Super sprint to push Odd out of the way. Another one fell and they jumped out the way.

"The whole ceiling is booby trapped," said Yumi. "Keep moving."

The two boys ran as the pillars continued to fall.

"Faster guys. One minute left and counting."

Odd started to fall behind before knocking Ulrich out of the way.

Ulrich glanced up and jumped out of the way of the pillar before pressing the key. The pillars started to retract.

"Odd, are you ok?" asked Jeremy.

"Well…oh…" said Odd as he stepped out the scanner.

"Good work Ulrich," said Jeremy.

"After you ladies," said Ulrich as the three ran over and down the new path. "Here comes our taxi!"

"We'd better not miss it!" said Aelita.

"That was reckless," said Harry to Ulrich as they jumped on the elevator. Once it stopped, they ran to the terminal and Aelita started to use it.

"Aelita, do you know where to find Yumi's DNA code?" asked Jeremy.

"Not really but I'll manage somehow."

"The Manta's nest is about to hatch! We don't have much time left! Uh, Yumi…I wanted to apologise for Odd this morning, it was none of his business what you'd been doing…" said Ulrich.

"That's true, but I'll tell you anyway. I was buying two tickets for the Subsonics concert. And it wasn't easy, bad Internet connection!" said Yumi.

"Told you," said Harry. The Mantas screeched.

"Look out," said Yumi, pointing at them. They started to defect the shots. Yumi defected one right back to it and the Manta blew up.

"How's it going Aelita?" asked Jeremy.

"Nothing yet."

Ulrich defected a few shots away from Yumi.

"That's it! I've got it!" exclaimed Aelita. "I'm sending it to you now Jeremy!"

"I've got it. I'll download it to Yumi in a second!" said Jeremy.

"I'm going to be really happy to go home," said Yumi as a Manta shot hit her, causing her to devirtualise. Ulrich jumped off and destroyed the Manta before flipping back up.

"Did you have time to reinsert her code?" asked Aelita.

"I hope so. Get out of there!"

The Overbike and Overjet appeared and they climbed onto them.

"The north tunnel is open!"

They flew into it and the last Manta flew away from the opening.

Scanners

The scanners whirred. Ulrich and Aelita appeared and walked over to Yumi as one closed and reopened to reveal Harry.

"Yumi!"

"It's ok," reassured Aelita. "Don't worry. She's out cold but's she's here with us."

Harry picked up his bag from where he left it and rummaged through it. He took out a vial and dropped some of the liquid on Yumi's tongue. She stirred and woke up as Ulrich held her.

"How about you, Odd? How're you feeling?" asked Jeremy as he looked at the boy in question.

"Ever been flattened by a steamroller?" asked Odd.

"No…"

"It's simple, just get yourself devirtualised in Sector Five!" said Odd.

Kadic

"Your father caught you?" asked Ulrich of Sissi.

"Oh, am I going to get suspended?" asked Yumi worriedly.

"Don't worry, I saved your day! I'll get punished, but not you. Anyway, I know how to talk to my father! Here's your dress back," said Sissi as she handed it to Yumi. "Don't forget your promise."

"That was really nice of you Sissi," said Yumi as she took it.

"What promise?" asked Harry as he looked at Ulrich. "Does it have anything to do with giving information about me to Sissi?"

"Yes. Anyway, Yumi's right. Thank you," said Ulrich.

"I told you that you could count on me," said Sissi as she dragged Harry away.

"Something's really fishy about the way Sissi's behaving!" said Odd as they watched Harry being dragged.

"Maybe deep down she's a very nice person!" suggested Aelita.

"Or she's really crazy about Harry!" said Jeremy.

"What a mess!" said Odd.
