The child walked through the crowd. It focused on Aelita as it found the group, walked up to her and hugged her, all the time having a blank look on his face.
"Wow Aelita, you're into little 5th grader kids now?" asked Odd in surprise and with a strange look on his face. "I hope you have a good lawyer!"
"That's not a kid Odd. It's a spectre," said Harry as he sent a small energy field at it. It held on.
"I feel weird," moaned Aelita.
"That's enough now." Ulrich pulled it off her.
"What was that about?" asked Sissi as it walked away.
"Xana gaining more source codes," said Harry with a shrug.
Lyoko
A tower glowed red in the desert sector.
Kadic
The spectre paused and turned back before grabbing Yumi.
"Let her go Xana!" Harry went for the spectre but it just knocked him back.
"Run!" The group ran from the spectre which chased them. It tripped one of Harry's traps and paused as the electricity passed through it. They blocked the door.
"He's out there but not moving," said Odd.
"Why is Xana attacking now?" asked William. "Why not another time?"
"Because he feels like it?" suggested Harry. "Because he wants to get his source codes back? Because he wants to get stronger? Because he's impatient?"
"My eyes are blurry," moaned Yumi as she held her stomach.
"I feel sick," said Aelita.
"And my ears are buzzing," said Ulrich.
"I'm fine," said Odd.
"So am I," said Harry. "I think only someone the spectre touches is affected. Or someone who it drains codes from anyway."
"Are you sure that the angel faced 5th grader is a spectre?" asked Odd.
"Not this again," moaned Harry. "If I say it's a Xana attack, it generally is a Xana attack."
"We should get to Lyoko and deactivate the tower," said Aelita. "Odd should stay here and distract the spectre."
"Ok," said Jeremy. "He can stay as long as he promises not to let the spectre touch him. We've lost enough codes as it is."
"He's still there," said Odd as he peered out the window.
"Well go out the back," said William.
"I'll take the little snot."
Sewers
"You ok Ulrich?" asked Yumi as they walked through the sewers quickly.
"Still dizzy. What I don't get is why the spectre didn't try to go after Harry. Since the draining of source codes seem to harm us…"
"Why didn't he try to take me to Lyoko," finished Harry. "I think Xana is trying to gain more strength before attacking me. He knows that I'm faster than the spectres at the moment so I'll easily get away. Or he's waiting until he has enough strength to control me properly."
"I wonder how we'll be on Lyoko," mused Aelita.
"You'll be fine, you're virtual on Lyoko."
"I hope so because throwing up on Lyoko would be weird," said Yumi. "And interesting."
Odd
Odd kept an eye on the spectre which hadn't moved.
"Della Robbia! Remove that broom!" Jim slammed the window as Luna walked over. "What is this mess?"
Odd ran away and the spectre followed him
Lyoko
"So are you feeling the effects of the spectre?" asked Jeremy as they stood upright.
"No."
"Me neither," said Yumi.
"You were right Jeremy," said Ulrich. "Our problems have disappeared."
"It's the effects of being virtual," explained Jeremy. "I'm sending you the Overbike and Overwing."
"Don't we have a job to do?" asked Sissi. "Like, deactivating the tower?"
"Which direction?" asked Ulrich as he jumped on the bike.
"Straight in front of you to the east."
"Jeremy, call Odd and tell him that a tower has been activated on Lyoko," Aelita called.
"I'll call him and let you know."
"Do it quickly," said Harry jokingly. "Or we would have already deactivated it."
"Oh shut up Harry. Anyway, what's Franz doing? I haven't seen him around."
"He's working at a local company in software development. He can't work at Kadic because of Delmas remembering him."
Kadic
Odd hid behind a pillar as he answered his phone. The spectre grabbed him.
"Ok then, tell me! What's your problem, don't you get enough affection?" asked Odd.
Lyoko
Ulrich jumped off the Overbike as a tarantula shot at him. William reformed and stabbed it.
"Now, who's the best?"
"Oh shut up William."
"Did you reach Odd?" sked Yumi.
"He's not answering."
Kadic
"Your mother wasn't kind to you? She left you on the side of the road?" asked Odd as the spectre continued to cling to him.
Lyoko
"Watch out! Several Bloks behind you."
"The person who beats the most Bloks wins?" asked Ulrich as he looked at William.
"My type of game!" The two ran at them. Harry sighed as he stabbed a kunai into a hornet.
Kadic
"Ok, enough." Odd pulled away then looked at himself. "I'm fine. I knew it. You're just a slightly crazy little boy."
The spectre stared at Odd as he fled before following him at a walking pace.
Lyoko
Another tarantula appeared. "I'll get this one."
Ulrich ran at it, stabbed it and then cut its face, causing it to implode. A second one devirtualised Sissi as Harry threw a kunai at it.
"Rats."
"I've got another Blok on my screen but I can't see where it's coming from." The monster hit Ulrich several times causing the boy to devirtualise.
"Finally Odd. What happened to you?" asked Jeremy as Ulrich walked to the lab.
"A spectre Jeremy. A spectre, do you hear me? One of Xana's bloodsuckers! He touched me and I'm hallucinating."
"Calm down Odd. I'll call you back." Jeremy turned to Ulrich. "How do you feel?"
"The buzzing is back." Ulrich rubbed his head. "Why did it come back?"
"Can you get back to the school by yourself?"
"I can't leave Odd."
"Bad news guys." Jeremy turned back to the screen as Ulrich left. "Some of Odd's codes were stolen. I don't know what side effects he has but he's seriously freaking out."
"Roger Jeremy."
"Ok. Let's get to the tower," said William as he pointed in the direction. They ran from the monsters.
Kadic
"Oh, enough." Odd pushed the spectre away.
"Odd, do you want to get written up?" asked Jim as he exited the building. "The hell? You're unrelenting today. Attacking a small kid. Well, smaller than you anyway. This isn't like you. Are you alright?"
The spectre ran.
"Hey come back!" Jim ran after it. "Come back! I'm ordering you to come back!"
Lyoko
Aelita got knocked out of the air as a Blok fired at Harry. William jumped in front of it and took the blow.
"William!" Harry caught the boy as he began to devirtualise. "I'll hold them off. Get to the tower."
"Ulrich?"
"I found Odd. We're going to find somewhere to hide."
"William's coming to help." The boy nodded and went after them.
Kadic
"Come on. The spectre and Jim won't be gone for long."
"I'm deaf Ulrich." Ulrich dragged Odd away.
Lyoko
"Aelita, go on!" Yumi pulled out her fans and tried to hit one of the Bloks. "These are never ending."
A Blok went after Aelita. Yumi ran over the sand dune in time to see the bloke devirtualise Aelita.
"Harry, hurry up. You're the only one who can deactivate the tower now," called Jeremy.
"Hang on. Wait a minute. I think Yumi can do it."
"It will take an hour or two for Aelita to be able to return to Lyoko," said Jeremy. "You have to go Harry."
"Is nobody listening to me?" asked Harry. "I think people with source codes can deactivate towers. It happened with William when he was under Xana's control."
"That was totally different Harry."
Harry ran over the dune to Yumi. "Come on. Time to see if my theory is correct."
"I want Yumi to try to deactivate the tower," said Aelita as she entered the lab. "Harry, can you show her how to do it?"
"Yeah, it's not too hard."
"It's far better to find the other three and hole up here," said Jeremy.
"If it doesn't work, I'll just do it," said Harry. "Come on." The two ran across the desert. Yumi jumped on bard the Overwing as Harry continued to run.
Kadic
The two boys jumped as William appeared.
"How do we know if you're the real William?" asked Ulrich. "And not just another spectre."
"Uh, I think Harry is rather funny at times."
"Well, Xana doesn't have a sense of humour," said Ulrich. "Come on."
They hid in one of the rooms then watched through as Jim chased the spectre, blowing his whistle at the time.
Lyoko
The two approached the tower.
"So how do we go in?" asked Yumi. "You just run in."
"It's slightly harder than that. I will myself to go in. There's hardly anything different than entering a deactivated tower." Harry sent a kunai at the Blok behind them. "Don't you think Xana has sent enough monsters?"
Another Blok hit the Overwing and Yumi fell as it disappeared.
Dorms
"This is bad," said Odd. "He spotted us."
"How did he escape Jim?" asked Ulrich as they barricaded the door.
"Is that really important?" asked William. The spectre stared to break in.
Lyoko
"Come on Yumi." Harry helped her up then backed towards the tower, deflecting the shots. They leapt into the tower. "See? Nothing to it."
They walked to the centre.
"What now?" asked Yumi.
"Will yourself to go up." Harry closed his eyes as he began to rise. Yumi followed a second later. They landed on the platform. Yumi pressed her hand to the platform,

The spectre disappeared.
"Phew." The Three disappeared.
"My buzzing's gone," said Ulrich in relief.
"Buzzing?" asked Odd. "You're luck. I'm deaf. Or I was."
"Hello Jeremy." Ulrich picked up the call.
"Did you get Odd? Did you get away?" asked Jeremy. "Something odd happened on Lyoko. Aelita got devirtualised and Yumi took her place. It worked?"
"What? I'll put you on speaker."
"It was Yumi that deactivated the tower. I wonder if it's because of the source codes that you have in you. Wait. I don't understand but there's a second tower."
"A second tower?" asked Aelita in confusion. "How is that possible?"
"I think it was hidden by the signal of the first. It was a ruse."
"That sounds like Xana," said Harry with a groan. "Always have a plan b. Or he hides the tower."
"Bad News. A tower is activated on Lyoko."
"Does that mean another spectre?" asked Odd curiously and with slight concern.
"Most likely."
"Where is this tower?" asked Ulrich.
"Still in the desert."
"I'm not leaving this room for the rest of the day, the rest of the week or even the rest of my life," said Odd.
"You'll have to sometime," said William as he nudged the younger boy.
"How annoying," moaned Sissi. "I'll go have a look around. See if I can find it."
"Be careful Sissi," warned Jeremy. "You might get caught and then lose some codes."
"We'll buy locks and pizzas and…"
"Hey, Odd, I'm sorry," interrupted Jeremy. "But, Sissi, Ulrich, Aelita and William were already devirtualised. They can't go back. You're the only one left. Harry and Yumi could do with back up."
"At least try to find the spectre," said Odd. "So it doesn't gobble up my codes along the way."
"And what it looks like," added William. "I really don't want any of the side effects."
"Take care of Yumi and Harry," said Aelita. "I'll analyse the tower signal. See what the spectre looks like."
Lyoko
"Ok, you need to go back out again," said Jeremy. "There's a whole army of Bloks outside though."
"Come on Yumi." They jumped off the edge and arrived in a different tower before running towards the activated one.
Kadic
The three boys slipped out of the dorm.
"I can't believe it. I see spectres everywhere," said Odd as they walked down the stairs and past a pair.
"I don't think they are Odd," said William as he gently slapped the boy. "You're being paranoid."
Lab
"Jeremy, I have something," said Aelita. "I think this is it. I'm sending it to you."
"Yeah, that's it," agreed Jeremy as he received the data. "With this, we'll have a visual in no time."
He hacked it and the visual came into view. Ulrich.
Kadic
"Hey Sissi," said Ulrich as she ran into them.
"Finally. I have no idea how far I ran just now." Sissi panted for breath.
"Odd, watch out. I have a visual of the spectre. And, uh, how do I say this? It's Ulrich." Odd stared at his friend. "It has his appearance."
"Is that Jeremy?" asked Ulrich.
"I think I'll go on alone."
"Odd!" William made to follow him as Odd ran away.
"I'm coming Jeremy! Tell Yumi to hold on! And Harry too I suppose."
They made to follow him but stopped when the second Ulrich appeared.
"Ok, now I get why Odd ran," said Sissi as they backed away. They eye of Xana flashed in the copy's eyes. It lunged and grabbed Sissi.
"Let go!" William pulled it off before shaking head as his vision swam. Sissi stood up and walked into the wall. They ran as fast as they could away. The spectre followed them.
Lyoko
The two entered a canyon. Several Krabes arrived.
"You go on ahead. I'll take care of these," said Harry as he sent a kunai at one. It shot it, causing it to deflect. "Great."
Yumi flew into a pillar of rock and ran. A Krabe blocked her way and devirtualised her.
"Where's Odd?" asked Yumi as she entered the lab. "Did he stop for a glass of iced water?"
"Jeremy, I'm here. I'm in the scanner room. Can you hear me?"
"I hear you. I'll run the virtualisation. Harry, Odd's coming."
"It's like these monsters are heading me," said Harry as he dodged a second shot.
Kadic
The three ran into the door, Sissi banging into the walls along the way. The spectre started to bang on the door.
"Xana's persistent, I give him that," said Ulrich.
Lyoko
Harry ran into a clearing before looking up at the tower. He turned into a Krabe and walked up the wall before returning to normal at the top.
"That's harder than I thought. I've got to give Krabes a point for that."
Odd hit the last Krabe and jumped off the Overboard next to Harry.
"So, what now?" asked Odd.
"If Yumi could do it, why can't you? Harry, Help him."
They flew to the tower. Odd walked straight into it. Harry sniggered.
"It's not working. Are you sure I can do this"
"Odd, calm down," said Harry. "It's easier if you're calm. And you have to want to enter."
"It's useless to force it," added Aelita. "It's natural, intuitive."
"Oh, because you find it natural to go through a wall," said Odd.
"Think of it like water. A wall of water," suggested Harry. "And it doesn't help if you're stressed."
"I'm not stressed. It does doesn't work." Harry stared at him. "Ok, I am a little bit stressed."
"Tell yourself you want to enter as you touch the wall."
Oss sighed and touched the tower. "I want to enter. I want to enter. I want to enter. Wah!"
Harry sniggered and walked through the wall.
"You could have warned em Harry. I don't want to walk through the wall of a tower again."
"Sorry. I'm just used to walking through it. And you've done it plenty of times before Odd."
"Not into an activated tower."
The two walked to the centre of the tower. Harry rose up. Odd tried to reach up.
"This cant' be. I want to go up. Up, go up."
He stared to glow and followed Harry.
"See, you're getting the hang of it," said Harry as Odd stood next to him.
"I get it! It's super easy to do! I enter the code!" Odd pressed his hand to the terminal.

"Oh no." the spectre forced the door open and the three backed away. The spectre exploded.
"Good timing." The three sighed in relief.

"I call them transwatches," said Jeremy as everyone put them on and connected them. "They can measure the number of codes inside you. Xana's codes are hidden in the electromagnetic flux of your bodies. The transwatches will measure them."
"Just great. I'm the one who lost the most," said Odd as they looked at the results. Aelita had 92%, Yumi gad 93%, Sissi had 95%, William had 97%, Odd had 77%, Ulrich had 90% and Harry had 100%. "I've got to say, I've given a lot of myself today."
"Like abandoning us?" asked Sissi. "That wasn't very nice Odd."
"You could have been a spectre."
"If I was a spectre, I would have jumped you long ago," said Ulrich. "Idiot."
"Hey. I am very smart when I want to be."
"Calm down you two," said Harry as he looked at them. "We don't want to be fighting amongst ourselves."
"Ah, here's; the code power ratio," said Jeremy as he changed the display.
"How much Jeremy?" asked Aelita.
"65% already."
"And when Xana's at 100%?" asked William. "What happens? I already know it will be bad."
"He'll control the network. He'll be more powerful than he's ever been," said Aelita. "And no one will be able to stop him."
"But as long as we avoid the spectres, he won't gain anymore codes," said Harry.
