I don't own Harry Potter or Code Lyoko Evolution

Countdown

"Bring out the codes Tyron. The instructions were clear…" Static interrupted the conversation for a second. "… Going to sell them. You want to use them for your own interest!"

"Where did you find that?" asked Aelita.

"In the data you brought back from the Cortex," explained Jeremy.

"Wasn't supposed to be brought out of the vault!"

"I was nervous then and didn't pay attention. But there's this voice. Is it familiar to you?"

"It sounds like Tyron," said Harry as he shrugged.

"…You don't belong any more on my team!"

"Wait, listen."

"You're unable to work without my supercaculator."

"Franz, calm down."

"Hang on, that voice." Harry frowned. "It sounds familiar but I can't place it."

"And that's my dad," said Aelita with a frown.

"If it's him, he doesn't sound happy about something," commented Jeremy.

"Yeah. We'd better show this to him," said Harry with a stretch. "And I might need to make another trip to the earth location of Tyron's supercomputer."

"I'll make a numeral deinterlacing of this video." Jeremy's watch beeped. "PE class."

Harry groaned as he stood up.

"Those plans weren't supposed to be brought out of the vault!"

Outside

"Flex! Flex! Come on! You're all flabby today! Come on! Flex! Flex!" Jim shouted.

Sirius smiled as he fixed up a gutter and charmed it to make rude noises as people passed under it. Harry sent a warning glance as they passed.

"Come on wet guys! Move your rind! Flex! Flex! Come on! Flex!"

"You know something?" whispered Ulrich to Odd. "I saw Samantha just before class."

"Sam?" asked Odd. "I haven't seen her in a while."

"Stern! Della Robbia!"

"Yes?" asked Harry and Ulrich at the same time.

"Not you, your brother!" Jim pointed at Ulrich. "What are you doing?"

"Uh, just had to tell Odd something," said Ulrich quickly.

"You'll run around the courtyard five times!"

Odd and Ulrich groaned as they started to run. Harry stiffened slightly.

"Spectre. There's' a spectre."

"Oh great. We'll head to the factory. Harry, can you go warn Odd, Ulrich and the rest?" whispered Jeremy. Harry nodded and disappeared before a clone took his place.

"Psst." Odd and Ulrich jumped and looked wildly around. "It's me, Harry. There's a spectre on the loose."

The two nodded as Harry quickly sent Yumi and William a text before returning to class. Looking over, Odd noticed a girl.

"Sam? You're really here?" asked Odd as he walked over to the blonde. A girl watched him with a blank face.

"No, it's not me." Odd frowned. "What's the problem? Aren't you happy to see me?"

"I do, I do, quite the opposite! I just need to change my clothes. I'll meet you in the canteen."

Luna watched the two interact with a frown. The girl moved into a corner before changing into an old man.

Factory

"So, where does it come from?" asked Yumi as the doors opened.

"Desert sector. In the west. The others are on their way. They're rounding up Odd and Ulrich."

Lyoko

"Ok, I'm warmed up already. We don't need reinforcements, do we Yumi?" asked William.

"You sure about that?" asked Harry.

"Well, the last time we went to deactivate a tower, we didn't get hit."

"There weren't any monsters!"

"Jeremy, is the tower nearby?" asked Yumi.

"It's right after the canyon. Straight on."

The three shrugged and ran in the direction.

"William, it's not a race!"

Kadic

"Hey Sam!" Odd walked over to her but ran into the cleaning supplies. The spectre grabbed him and started to drain Odd's source codes. Sissi tried to pry them apart but the spectre grabbed her too. Sissi blinked as the world went fuzzy.

"Blindness?"

"Are you out of your mind? I saw you do that on purpose." Sam stared at the spectre who let the two go.

"Ok, that wasn't good," muttered Sissi as she squinted around.

"Are you alright Odd? That man was mad."

"No, I'm fired. It's just a nothosaurus."

"He'll be fine," said Sissi quickly. "I think he's just gone into a little bit of shock. Come on Odd. Let's get you checked out."

She dragged him away.

Lyoko

The three continued to walk down the canyon.

"Sis you hear that?"

"I didn't hear anything. Why?" asked William as he joined her.

"There is something moving," said Harry as he looked up. Several Kankrelats approached the edge.

"Let's fight back to back," suggested Yumi.

"I'll do this." William used super smoke to get up to the level and started to slice and deflect the attacks. Yumi hit a few with her fans while Harry hit a few with laser arrows.

"Way too easy! Seems like a small attack today," commented William as he walked to the edge.

"Or that Xana is planning something," called Harry.

"William, jump!" William glanced to the left and jumped off as Yumi sent her fans at the Kankrelat. "Yeah, you were right. Way too easy."

William looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "Try telling that to Harry. He does have a point."

"Don't get carried away. There are things moving around the tower," informed Jeremy. "I think you should wait for Luna, Aelitas and Ulrich. They're on their way."

"Jeremy, try to call Odd again," called Aelita as she landed. "If there's a spectre on the loose, he needs to know."

"I saw him with a blonde girl," said Luan. "I was jealous."

"What?" Aelita stared at Luna.

"He's with Sam," muttered Ulrich. "Try to call Sissi. She's still at Kadic."

"I'll take care of that. Don't worry."

"Thanks for the Overbike," said Ulrich as he hopped on board. Luna started to hop on all fours.

"She's faster than I expected her to be," said Aelita as she soared into the air.

"There's a spectre hanging around the lunch hall."

"I gate those code eaters and their perverted side effects," muttered Aelita.

"Odd will probably need to be more aware of Samantha's," said Ulrich with a grin.

"Stop wasting time. The others are waiting."

Jeremy called Odd but he had left his phone in his dorm.

Kadic

Odd started searching through his pockets for his phone.

"No, I vanished my receiver!"

"What?" asked Sissi.

Odd shot over to Jim.

"Ah, Della Robbia. I was trying to reach the infirmary."

"Saxophone emergency! The wolf is going after the go-go dancers!"

"Odd! Get back here!" Sissi grabbed him. "What are you doing? Sorry Jim, he's going a bit crazy."

"I think I'll try calling again."

Odd looked over to see the spectre. Sissi followed his gaze.

"Act normal," she muttered.

"Are you sure you're ok Della Robbia?" asked Jim as the spectre changed form. Odd grabbed the phone. "Yeah, I think you're not."

Sissi groaned as she ran after him.

Lyoko

"Wait William! Ulrich, Aelita and Luna will be here in a minute!" called Yumi as William walked away.

"It's better if we're aware of what we're facing right?" asked William.

"I can deal with that." Harry's clones popped into existence and shot towards the tower. "What on earth? There's a giant wall of Bloks!"

"What?" asked Yumi.

"There's a giant wall of Bloks."

"It seems really calm to me," said William as he looked around. "Unless Jeremy's wrong and there isn't anything moving."

"You never change. You always do what pleases you," said Yumi with a sigh. William froze as he ran into the wall of Bloks. One of Harry's clones pulled him out of the way.

"Thanks Harry."

"You're welcome." Yumi and William looked between the three. The Blok wall fired again and hit William then Yumi. Harry groaned as he dodged.

"Aelita, Ulrich, Luna! Code red! Yumi and William got devirtualised. Blown up. Take cover!"

"What the hell is that?" asked Ulrich in disbelief as he saw the Blok wall which fired again. Harry hid behind a rock.

"Jeremy, I've never seen something like that before. What do we do?" asked Aelita.

"Find the weak spot," called Harry. "There has to be a weak spot."

Yumi and William entered the lab.

"Jeremy?"

"Hide for now." Jeremy's phone rang. "Odd? Is that you?"

"Behind the baskets."

"What? There's no time to joke. Where are you?"

Sissi snatched the phone from Odd. "Jeremy, its Sissi. The spectre got us. It messed up Odd's speech and I can't see very well. We're by the lockers but if the spectre finds us again, we'll have to move. It also changes its shape."

"Don't move." Jeremy turned to Yumi and William. "A spectre got to Sissi and Odd. It's a polymorphic clone. They're by the lockers. Can you keep an eye on them?"

Yumi nodded as she took the phone.

"Ulrich, Aelita, Luna, Harry. Are you alright?"

"Well, if by alright, you mean taking pot shots at the massive amounts of Bloks, then yes," said Harry as he fired. The shot hit a Blok but did nothing. Aelita sent several energy fields at it as she ran over to where Ulrich and Luna were hiding.

"We won't be able to reach the tower. That thing is invulnerable!" called Ulrich.

"I may be able fly over it with my wings," suggested Aelita.

"And I could always use super smoke. Nothing can hurt me while I'm in that form," suggested Harry.

"You're not fast enough Aelita. Jeremy, can you find a way out?"

"I'm trying but that thing is rather powerful." The Blok wall shot at the rock covering the three and destroyed it. "Aelita, use your energy fields to cover yourselves!"

The Bloks rearranged themselves as Aelita formed a pink shield. The wall fired again and Ulrich and Luna supported Aelita as she kept the shield up. They were still forced back.

"It's working! We'll try to move forward!" Harry turned into a Megatank and rolled forward. Aelita, Ulrich and Luna watched him go. "That works."

Aelita fell to the floor as the Bloks rearranged themselves again.

"Don't stay too close to it. It's too dangerous!"

"Come on, move forward," Ulrich helped Aelita up who created another shield. They started to follow Harry. They deflected a shot into the wall of the canyon but lost the shield. The rock collapsed and the two got squashed.

Lab

"I can't believe it. This is the first time we got defeated like newbies. Right?" asked William.

"Well, Harry's managing alright but he was a Megatank the last time I saw him," said Aelita.

"And the cherry on the cake, there's a spectre and it got Sissi and Odd," moaned Jeremy. "Harry, is there anything you can do?"

Silence.

"He can't talk," said Luna. "He has no mouth."

"And I can't virtualise you again for a couple of hours. We'll have to go get Odd and Sissi." Yumi and William left to go get them. "And as for that number of Bloks, I'll find a way. The spectre's the gardener."

Kadic

"You ok?" asked Yumi as the two found Odd and Sissi.

"I can't express appropriately."

William and Yumi shared a look.

"He can't speak properly," said Sissi with a sigh. "And I can't see well. Is this what Harry sees without his glasses?"

"The sketch… the flex… the almost!"

"Calm down. We'll take you somewhere safe," said Yumi.

"And we know about the spectre," added William. "It's currently the gardener."

"Is that Jim's mobile?" asked Yumi as she saw it.

"Yes," said Sissi with a sigh. "I tried to return it but Odd kept snatching it."

"Slim, slim, I mixed his saxophone."

"Well, take them back to the lab and I'll return the mobile," said Yumi. "We're in enough trouble as it is."

"Ok, let's do this." William grabbed Sissi and Odd and started leading them away.

Lab

"Are you alright?" asked Aelita as the three walked into the lab.

"I know it's not simple but we need your help," said Jeremy as he stood up. "There's a wall of Bloks protecting the tower. Harry's currently fighting it but he's only annoying it."

"Winner, obligation remain a handsome heavy-duty colossal gamble Harry's incompetent to agreement through it."

"What?" asked Ulrich.

"Don't ask me. I don't speak spectrese," said Harry as he hid behind a rock.

Jeremy sighed. "We'll speak when you're on Lyoko."

"I feel drunk," moaned Sissi.

Lyoko

"A, e, I, o, u. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Do you hear me, do you hear me?" asked Odd as he landed.

"Loud and clearly."

"It's a relief to hear you talking normally," said Aelita with a smile.

"I'm wondering if I didn't prefer how it was," said William.

"Yeah, funny." Odd started to walk towards the tower. "What about the spectre? It might not be the gardener anymore."

"William, with me." Ulrich and William started towards the school.

Kadic

Yumi found Jim in the gym, moving some equipment.

"Isn't that Ishiyama!"

"Hello Jim. Here's your mobile back." Yumi handed it to Jim. "You're probably angry but Odd isn't feeling well today."

"I know Yumi. No explanation is needed. I noticed Odd was strung. It was a burnout. You're studying too hard. Insane schedule, unbearable amounts of homework. Not enough time for sport!"

"I agree with you," said Yumi quickly.

"Well, no! Let's not take the easy way. We'll talk to Delmas!"

Jim pulled Yumi away. The spectre changed its form to Delmas as it hid behind the equipment.

Lyoko

"What's this?" asked Odd as an eyepiece appeared over his eye.

"Cinetic lens. It will help you analyse the structure of that wall without getting noticed," explained Jeremy.

"I think I'm going to have fun!"

"Don't get too close. That's how everyone got caught. Well, Harry gets close but the Megatank's shell protects him."

"Yumi, pick up your phone, please," muttered Aelita as she called Yumi. Luna fiddled with her cork necklace.

"I think Xana's infected with Wrackspurts."

Kadic

"We can't continue like this," muttered Jim as he paced. Yumi's phone buzzed. "That's wrong. They're worn out. They can't…"

"You wanted to see me Jim?" asked Delmas as he opened the door.

"Yes." Jim walked through the door and beckoned Yumi.

Lyoko

"If only Samantha could see me," muttered Odd as he watched the Blok wall fire on a Megatank.

"Aelita, the spectre morphed. Warn Yumi and the boys."

Aelita called Ulrich.

"Aelita?"

"Yes, it's me. The spectre changed into Delmas."

"Delmas? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"We're nearby. We'll take a look."

Kadic

William and Ulrich approached Delmas' office as they spotted Yumi.

"Are you ok Yumi?" asked Ulrich.

"Well, yeah. It's just that… We'll all have free orange juice at the 10 O'clock break."

"The spectre must have got her. She's not making sense," said William.

"Everything's' fine."

"What about Delmas, the spectre?" asked Ulrich. "Did he touch you?"

"Delmas? We shook hands, nothing happened."

"If it's not him, then who is it?" asked William of no one.

Lyoko

Odd crawled along the ground. "Ok, I'm there. And that's the famous Blok wall. You were right. It really is something."

The wall rotated.

"Wah, that's madness! It rotates like one of those stations signs. We're close to having our train timetables written on it. The train going from Lyoko to Kadic is about to leave. Please keep clear of the edge of the platform."

"Hey Odd." Odd almost jumped up.

"Harry, that's really creepy."

"Odd, that' enough. I'm activating the scanner. The wall is probably a closed circuit."

The scanner appeared over Odd's eye.

"What does it actually mean?"

"There are slave Bloks under the control of a master Blok. Destroy it and the whole thing about come apart."

"Yeah. Easier said than done. They won't stop rotating. And they all look the same."

"That's the point. One should be different. It's like the seven errors game."

"Your game sucks."

Kadic

"What about Odd?" asked Yumi as they walked through the park.

"He's already on Lyoko. Facing such a monster isn't easy," said Ulrich.

"Trust him," suggested William.

The spectre watched them walk away.

Lyoko

"Nothing new?"

"No. I can't spot anything." Odd noticed something. "Wait! That's it! Something's different!"

"Shoot it then!"

"Where shout I shoot?"

"What? It's just the same as normal."

Odd shrugged and shot the Blok wall. The Bloks moved and sired at the two. Harry jumped clear as Odd got hit by shrapnel before jumping on the Overboard. He shot the Blok and the rest of the wall blew with it.

"Wahoo!"

"Yes!"

Odd jumped off the overboard and started to dance into the tower. Harry rolled his eyes at Odd's antics.

"Well, who's the boss?"

"I knew you'd succeed," said Jeremy as Odd travelled up the tower.

"Samantha? What are you doing?" asked Yumi as she turned to face the girl. The eye of Xana flashed in her eyes.

"Samantha? Is she there?" asked Odd.

"Odd! Get the tower deactivated," called Harry.

Code

Lyoko

Samantha exploded as she lunged for the group.

"Well, my vision's back," said Sissi as she blinked.

Later

Odd sighed as he saw the results. "I can't belive it. Xana's gotten to 78% power and it's my fault."

"Hey, don't forget, Xana took some from me," pointed out Sissi.

"And you did really well. You should be proud of yourself," said Aelita.

"And I've gotten the render from the Cortex," said Jeremy. everyone looked at the screen.

"I told you that those plans weren't to be taken out of the vault. Tyron, my instructions were clear."

"Is that Franz?" asked Yumi.

"Yes."

"You wanted to use them for your own purposes!"

"It's you, Hopper, that should think bigger. You're a small, ambitionless, guy."

"Who's that guy?" asked Ulrich.

"Professor Tyron," said Harry.

"You're not worth precipitating in the research! You don't belong on the team anymore!"

"And that man, who is he?" asked William as he pointed at the black haired man as he tried to calm Franz down. "He looks familiar."

"Yeah, people say I look a lot like him," said Harry. "His name is James Potter. My birth father."

Franz stormed out of the room.

"You're so naïve Mr Hopper." That was the last thing on the video.
