I don't own Harry Potter or Code Lyoko Evolution

Rivalry

"Come on Jeremy, be a pal," moaned Odd. "I just want some new powers on Lyoko. Like shooting lasers from my eyes."

"I have more important things to do than to create new powers," said Jeremy. "It would take me all day. I think trying to find a way to stop Xana is a better use of my time."

"Are you talking about Lyoko?" asked Luna as she wandered over.

"Hey Luna," said Odd. "Want to spend some time with me?"

"That would be nice."

"Look like someone's in love," said Harry with a grin. "Will it last more than a few hours? Taking bets now."

"What? Luna's odd, just like me," said Odd in confusion.

"We have to go do some homework Yumi," reminded William. Ulrich stared at him. "Don't worry Ulrich. I might still like her in that way but she's yours. Just remember that if you break up with her, I'll be waiting."

Ulrich clenched his fists. "And how do I know you're not just saying that?"

Harry stared into space.

"Where's Sissi anyway?" asked Jeremy. "I haven't seen her."

"She went to see her mum," explained Harry. "Xana will probably go after one of us if he attacks. We're closer."

Later

Odd sat down to Luna in class.

"Did you know that you have wackspurts around your head?" asked Luna. "They make you go all fuzzy."

"Really?" asked Odd. Harry sniggered as he watched the two before rubbing his head. He quickly created two clones and sent them to find the attack.

Outside

"It's looking pretty good," said Yumi. "We've got our intro. I'm impressed. I thought you were always a rebellious boy, going against the rules and all that."

"What can I say? I'm a guy with hidden talents. Anyway, I've got practice. See you."

William walked away as Yumi packed up.

"William? You forgot something?" The eye of Xana flashed in the boy's eyes and he walked forward before grabbing Yumi.

"Let go! Please!" Yumi continued to beg.

"Yumi!" Two energy fields hit the boy causing him to let go.

"What?"

Odd, Luna, Ulrich and the real Harry ran over. Harry shot the spectre with a laser arrow.

"Not William?" asked Ulrich.

"Not William. And why are you just standing there?"

Ulrich pulled the spectre off Yumi. "Take her to the factory."

"Hey, Xana! Want my codes? Come get me!" The spectre followed Harry. "Slowcoach!"

Ulrich followed them as Odd and Luna took Yumi to the factory. Odd pulled out his phone.

"Jeremy, a spectre attacked Yumi," the boy said as soon as Jeremy picked up. "It looked like William and it touched her."

"I got the warning. Take Yumi to the lab. I'll meet you there. Where's Harry?"

"He got the spectre to chase him."

Factory

"You ok Yumi?" asked Jeremy as he and Aelita walked into the lab.

"I've had better days."

"Ok, to the scanners. You up for this Yumi."

Yumi nodded and they headed to the scanners.

"You'll feel better once we're on Lyoko," said Aelita as they stepped into the scanners.

"Transfer Yumi. Transfer Aelita. Transfer Odd. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Odd. Scanner Aelita. Virtualisation."

Luna simply watched.

Lyoko

"I'm ok," said Yumi as they landed. "Everything's back to normal. Any news from Ulrich and Harry?"

"None. I'm trying to get a hold of them. In the meantime, head for the tower. It's seventy two degrees east."

"You going to send our rides?" asked Odd. They appeared and they flew off. "You know, don't you think it's weird that you couldn't tell the difference between the real William and the spectre?"

"Odd, drop it," said Aelita as Yumi didn't answer.

"Is Xana a good kisser then?"

"I don't know why I haven't devirtualised you already!" Yumi sped up in anger.

"Can't anyone take a joke anymore?" asked Odd to himself as he watched the two speed up.

"Hello Ulrich. Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Odd, Aelita and Yumi are on Lyoko. They're on the way to the tower."

"Harry says that you should try to hurry up. We've lost the spectre for now."

Harry

Harry and Ulrich ran past Jim. "Hey, Sterns! Nice way to fit in some training on your lunch break!"

The spectre walked past Jim. "Come on! Dunbar! Watch that step huh? Shake the lard out or you'll never catch up!"

The spectre ignored him.

Lyoko

"Ok Jeremy, the tower's in sight," said Yumi as they approached.

"Watch out. Monsters have just turned up on my screen."

The three stared at the two tarantulas. The monsters approached and fired.

"Oh yeah? Two can play at that game," called Odd as he dodged and fired. He missed and the Overwing was destroyed by consecutive hits.

"Watch out!"

Jeremy's warning was too late as Yumi was devirtualised.

"What is firing at me?" asked Aelita as she dodged shots that come out of nowhere. "Has Xana sent a clone against us?"

"No idea but we'd better take cover," sad Odd as he pulled Aelita onto the Overboard and hid behind nearby rocks. "Jeremy, how many monsters do you see on your screens?"

"Three. I count three."

"That's a problem because I can only see two." Odd peered out from behind the rocks as he spoke.

"Odd, the third monster is invisible," said Aelita as shots hit the rocks.

Harry

"Jeremy, I don't think we can hold on much longer," said Ulrich into his phone. "How close are you to deactivating the tower?"

"Don't worry. We're closing in on it now."

Harry peered around the corner before spotting the spectre. "We have to go. The spectre's here."

They ran and the spectre followed them at a much slower pace.

Lyoko

"You've got to hurry," said Jeremy. "The others are in trouble."

"Yeah, that's a good one," said Odd. "We're doing our best. Not to mention that we can't hit what we can't see!"

"Then light it up," said Luna.

Kadic

Harry and Ulrich pushed equipment up against the gym door before turning around.

"Are you coming out of the walls now?" asked Ulrich as they stared at William before taking off his bag. "Because I'll have to fight you."

"Ulrich, that's the real William," said Harry as he stopped Ulrich from advancing.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?" asked William in confusion.

"There's a spectre," explained Harry.

"Yeah. Could have warned me," said William.

"Sorry. It was more interested in following me and Ulrich. Anyway, it's you."

They stared at the door as the spectre blew it off its hinges. The remains of the door hit the floor with a bang.

"It found us."

They backed away as it advanced ominously.

Lyoko

"Go! I'll cover you! Take this stinking cockroach!" yelled Odd as he fired. Aelita flew up into the air.

"Odd, we're in a hurry," reminded Jeremy. "You're right next to the tower. Race for it. You can deactivate it too, remember?"

"Why me? I hate deactivating towers," moaned Odd.

"Don't argue, just do it," ordered Aelita as she fired and missed. Odd climbed up the rock and shot the tarantula which imploded. He ran over to the tower. "Here goes nothing."

He walked into the tower. He tried to deactivate the tower but got an error.

"Odd, this is no time for fooling around. We're in a hurry."

"Ok, chill out. Come on, it's not that hard."

The three backed away as the spectre held out its glowing hands. It exploded into pixels, causing the three to cover their eyes and squint.

Later

"Well, you should all thank me," said Odd as Jeremy checked his computer. "If it wasn't for me, Ulrich would have his codes taken as well as Harry's and William's."

"Shut up Odd," said Harry as he slapped him lightly. "We don't want to hear your bragging."

"We were prepared for this. There's no time for fooling around," said Jeremy. "Have a look. The spectre leached way more than we thought."

"And I lost more than I thought," said Yumi. She had gone down to 79%.

"And Xana's at 70% power."

"70%? Not good," said Odd.

"And as Xana gains more power, you can expect the spectres to get stronger as well," said Harry as he rubbed his head. "And once he's drained you guys, he'll go after me. That makes sense. You are easier to get to than me."

"We can't let him get any more," said Jeremy.

"I guess I'll have to be extra cautious the next time some stranger tries to jump me," said Odd as he stared at Yumi. "You can never be too careful, right?"

"William, haven't we got some work to do?" asked Yumi as she headed towards the door. "Thanks for helping me."

"I've got somewhere to be too," said Ulrich. "See you."

Elsewhere

"Is It me or is Ulrich acting a bit strangely?" asked Odd as they wondered outside. "Spending time with two Williams would mess your head up too."

"I think he got used to William vying for Yumi's affections," said Harry with a shrug. "And now William's stopped, he's not sure what to do."

"Anyway, I have someone I need to call."

"Luna?" asked Harry with a knowing smile.

"What?"

Lyoko

A tower activated.

Kadic

Harry rubbed his head. "Xana's attacking again."

A spark hit Odd's ear and he dropped his phone. "What was that?"

The other three pulled theirs put and dropped them but not after seeing the symbol on the screens.

"Xana? But how did he recover so quickly?" asked Jeremy in surprise.

"And why the phones?" asked Harry. "We're all in the school. We can easily find each other. Something's up with him. As to why he's revered so fast, well, he did just get a load of his power back."

"We have to warn the others," said Jeremy. "And we have to get to Lyoko."

"We have to wait for a couple of hours, you know that," said Aelita.

"There's three of us that haven't been to Lyoko," said Harry. "Me, Ulrich and William."

"And what about Luna?" asked Aelita.

"Luna? No way," said Odd.

"We can trust her," said Jeremy thoughtfully. "She hasn't told anyone yet."

Gym

Aelita walked into the gym as Ulrich hit the punching bag.

"Xana's attacking again."

"Why didn't you just call me?" asked Ulrich.

"We can't. Xana's hacked into the phone network."

"I guess attacking us with spectres isn't enough for Xana," said Ulrich slightly bitterly. "Do the others know?"

"They're looking for William and Luna," explained Aelita.

"Luna? Are you sure we should be bringing someone else in?" asked Ulrich. "Remember what happened to William. He got possessed and we had to fight him for months."

He walked out before Aelita had chance to answer.

Lab

"Mountain sector," muttered Ulrich as he set up the delayed virtualisation. He headed down to the scanners as the computer counted down. Aelita walked into the lab as the timer finished.

"He can't have…"

Lyoko

Ulrich landed and looked towards the tower.

"This is crazy Ulrich. Why are you doing this? Is it because you don't know how to react to William giving up on Yumi? Or is it because you don't want Luna to help out? How could you risk running off by yourself anyway? Yes, Harry and William can deactivate the tower but the situation could get worse if we have less people on Lyoko."

Kadic

"I see. We'll have to make sure that we don't let the Scyphozoa gets to her," said William as he stretched. "I don't want a repeat of what happened to me."

"I don't think Xana is strong enough to keep control of a person yet," said Harry. "If he was, he would have gone after me by now. Though with his recent power increase, I'm not sure."

"Ok, we've got Luan," said Jeremy as the four joined them. "Let's go. We haven't got time to discuss anything."

Lyoko

Ulrich skidded to a halt as a Krabe attacked him. Another one joined it as they marched down the rock. Ulrich pulled out his swords as he prepared to fight.

Lab

"He's already on Lyoko?" asked Jeremy as he rushed to the computer.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop him," said Aelita.

"This isn't like Ulrich," said Harry with a frown. "I think he's gone a bit crazy. He's not normally this compulsive."

"I suggest that you get down to the scanners. There's no time to lose," said Jeremy as he took over from Aelita. The three nodded and quickly reached the scanners.

Lyoko

The three landed and Harry and William stared at Luna.

"You're a rabbit," said Harry in disbelief. "A moon rabbit. Well, at least Odd won't complain."

"I like rabbits," said Luna. "And why do I have a boomerang?"

"Who knows," said William. "Jeremy, can you send me the Overbike?"

"The Overbike?" asked Odd. "Someone's not going to like that."

"Not my problem," said Jeremy as he loaded it. William quickly jumped on.

"Luna, hop on. Please pardon the obvious pun."

Harry sniggered as the Overjet loaded and he climbed in.

"How come you get a plane?" asked William.

"I programmed it, I get to decide what it looks like. If I want a plane, I get a plane."

They followed Ulrich. They found him deflecting shots.

"What are you doing on my bike?" asked Ulrich in annoyance.

"Nice to see you too. Going to snap out of the crazy mode yet?"

"I really don't think this is the time for arguing," said Harry as he spotted a squadron of hornets approach. "Xana knows that we're here and is sending backing."

Ulrich sprinted towards a Krabe.

"Don't Ulrich! It's too risky! What's going through your head?"

Ulrich ignored Jeremy as he slid between the Krabe's legs and jumped onto it. He stabbed it and jumped off before sending William a look. Luna jumped off and sent a boomerang at a hornet and missed. She pouted.

"Alright, what you can do, I can do. It seems this is the only way to get through to you." William drove towards a Krabe and jumped off the Overbike which destroyed a Blok. William summoned his sword, deflected a shot and dragged his sword down the Krabe before super smoking over to Ulrich. "Happy?"

"What are they doing?" asked Yumi.

"Seeing who has the bigger sword," said Odd. "Or trying to prove it anyway."

"Can you two focus and stop fooling around?" asked Jeremy as William and Ulrich engaged in a staring contest. A shot caused them to break out of it.

"I suggest you start to fight, not hang around staring at each other and making gooey faces at each other," called Harry. Luna aim had already improved.

Ulrich walked forwards as he deflected shots. "I'll teach you something."

A shot hit him and he rolled near to the edge. William looked worried as another shot knocked him off as the samurai stood up. Ulrich grabbed onto the edge but started to slip.

"Jeremy, devirtualise them before they fall into the digital sea," said Aelita.

"All four of them Aelita? If I do that, there would be no one to deactivate the tower," pointed out Jeremy. "Sissi's not here to help out."

William frowned, turned to smoke and reformed next to Ulrich. He deflected a shot.

"Jeremy, devirtualise them," said Yumi.

William glanced up and reached down. "Take my hand."

Ulrich grabbed the offered hand and will aim pulled him up. Ulrich stood and sent the pale boy as look of gratitude. A shot interrupted them. William deflected a few shots before glancing at Ulrich.

"Don't we have a tower to deactivate?"

William zoomed off as smoke with the Blok following him. Harry and Luna joined Ulrich who shook his head.

"William is a nice guy, isn't he?"

"Yep," agreed Harry. Ulrich smiled and super sprinted off towards the tower.

"That's it Ulrich, nearly there," encouraged Jeremy.

Ulrich slowed down as he entered the tower before rising up. He pressed his hand to the screen.

The files zoomed down the inside as the tower reconfigured.

"Alright," cheered Odd as the four entered. "Luna did better than you did on your first trip William."

"Odd, stop being insensitive," said Harry as he noticed the flash of pain that flittered across William's face. "I think that's still a slightly touchy subject."

"Sorry guys," apologised Ulrich. "I shouldn't have acted like that."

"Don't worry, you just went crazy," said Odd jokingly as he pulled out his phone. "Happens to me all the time. Oh yeah! It's working! And not a minute too soon! Odd Della Robbia is back in the house!"

Harry snorted at Odd's actions as Sissi arrived. Everyone had looks of amusement on their faces. "Did I miss anything?"

"Just Xana sending a spectre that looked like William, messing with the phones and Luna's first trip to Lyoko," said Harry with a shrug. "Not much."

"You alright Jeremy?" asked Aelita as she noticed Jeremy's worried face.

"It's such a mess. Soon Xana will be too powerful for us," said Jeremy.

"And he could mess up the phones again," said Yumi.

"I think we need all of us to fight against Xana. Luna proved that she's as good a fighter as any one of us. Do you want to stay Luna?" asked Jeremy as he turned to her.

"I never forgot about this place. Besides, people think I make things up. They'd never believe me if I told them."

Everyone turned to her in slight confusion.

"Is that a yes or a no?" asked Yumi.

"Yes. This is more like the Wizarding world than any normal place."
