Jeremy was working at another late night in the lab, working on the materialization program for Aelita. "Interface transfer activated. Virtual memory activated. Codes management configured. Scanners activated and verified. Targeting, okay…this time it's gonna work. Ready Aelita?"
"Ready" Aelita answers.
"Here we go," he presses enter, waiting in anticipation as he watches the screen. The program actually works! "It's working."
He steps out of the elevator, walking into the scanner room. The scanner opens as he smiles.
Yumi kicks in the air before blocking Ulrich's punch. She blocks his attacks in their fight. She smiles at him, and he gives a smug look. "Ready?" He backs away and he dodges her attacks, Odd playing with his dog, and Nadia watching the two.
"Here Kiwi. Go on, fetch!" Odd throws the stick and Kiwi goes to catch it.
"Anyone seen Jeremy this morning?" Yumi wonders.
"I think he spent the night in the laboratory," Odd crosses his arms. "He was working on something really important. Hmm" he smirks because there was only one thing that kept him up at night lately.
"Aelita!" They all say in unison. Ulrich rubs his neck before Yumi kicks him down. He lands on the path.
"Hey, I thought it was time out" he places a hand on his cheek.
"Oh, guess I forgot" she answers innocently.
"Hey guys!" Jeremy runs up to them. "Guess what I did last night?"
"Let's see now," Odd rubs his temples as if he's psychic. "It's got something to do with materializing Aelita?"
"That's right. Hey, how did you guess Odd?" Jeremy asks.
"Whenever the world's not in danger, that's the only thing you're working on" Nadia replies.
"Well guys, I finally did it. I decided to tackle the problem in a different way. You wouldn't believe it."
"Well tell us. Did you do it or not?" Ulrich asks impatiently.
"I sure did." He rummages through his pocket, revealing a hair? They look in confusion.
"You materialized a test tube" Ulrich deadpans, he'd think that Jeremy would've had something a little more impressive.
"No airhead, look inside, will you?" They look closer to see the strand of pink hair.
"A hair? You mean you materialized one hair?" Odd asks in confusion.
"That's right Odd. To be exact, it's a hair of…Aelita's" he blushes at the thought of having a piece of her. They gasp in shock.
"What? A real hair?" Ulrich asks.
"But how did you manage that?" Yumi wonders.
"Well, I chose a hair because it's a simple anatomical structure, which contains Aelita's complete genetic computer code. According to a well-known fractal, whose recurrences are comparable to the genetic code of a human. Which enabled me to make a physiological number transfer onto one part of the program already pre-targeted and defragmented. And that's that," Jeremy explains in the lab, but they were just confused the whole time. "Simple enough, right?" Ulrich picks his ear. "Do you follow?" Odd taps his chin.
"No" Odd replies.
"No, it's not simple enough or no you don't follow?" Jeremy elaborates.
"Uh, no means we take your word for it" Odd answers. Ulrich, Nadia, and Yumi nod, not wanting Jeremy to explain further. He was their friend, but sometimes he gets to technical. Aelita giggles, placing a hand on her cheek.
"No problem. It'll become clear when Aelita is here in flesh and blood. Better get ready Aelita."
"Okay Jeremy" she says with a smile.
"H-Huh? You're gonna materialize her now?" Ulrich asks in surprise.
"Well, what do you think? I'm not gonna wait until next year! The hair was just a test before we do the whole thing" Jeremy explains. Yumi steps up.
"Listen, making a hair appear is one thing. Materializing Aelita is not the same" Yumi shrugs. He turns back to the computer.
"Look, you want to spend your whole life fighting Xana? Once Aelita has been materialized, we can unplug Xana once and for all and live normal lives," Jeremy states. "So I say it's worth trying!" He presses enter without another word, but the program doesn't work. "How can that be? I planned everything so perfectly."
"You're almost there Jeremy," Ulrich says. "In a few days, you'll be all set! You'll see." Jeremy smiles at him gratefully.
"Hey, come on, you guys. If we don't materialize on a couple of minutes in the classroom, we're not gonna last a few days!" Odd drags his eye bags dramatically.
The bell rings for class to end and everyone leaves for lunch. Jeremy eats quickly as he can, the others staring at him. "You know, I'd have sworn it worked this time."
"But, if the computer gene code of the hair gives you enough information to find the parameters for the materialization, well then, what's the problem?" Yumi wonders.
"I wish I knew," Jeremy replies as he eats a brussel sprout. "I'm doing something wrong. The only way to find out is to start over."
"No, don't do that. You're only a hair's breadth away!" Odd giggles.
"Whatever, will you be serious Odd?" Yumi questions.
"By the way Odd, speaking of hair, your dog sheds an awful lot. Most of them end up on my bed too" Ulrich suggests.
"What's the big deal about two or three hairs?" Odd picks at his food.
"Two or three?" Ulrich asks in disbelief as the others giggle. "With all the hairs he sheds, I could knit you another Kiwi!"
"Oh, did you say dog?" Sissi walks up to their table and they immediately scowl. "Oh, I really adore dogs. Hey, can I sit down."
"No" Ulrich answers. Sissi chuckles, leaning in closer.
"You know, I'm so crazy about dogs that I'm ready to keep my mouth shut about the one Odd is hiding in his room. That is, if you promise to be nicer to me, of course" she tells him.
"Listen Sissi, I'm warning you," Yumi grips her glass. "If you say anything about Kiwi I'll-" the glass breaks in her hands, everyone around her gasping. Sissi's eye twitches as she looks at Yumi weirdly, walking away without another word.
"That was a little too threatening Yumi" Nadia tells her.
"You okay?" Ulrich asks in concern. He looks over her hand to see three fresh cuts on it.
At the infirmary, Yolonda opens her cabinet, grabbing some alcohol. She places it on a cotton ball. "There we are," she cleans Yumi's hand, and she groans in pain. "It's nothing serious, the cut isn't very deep. Here," she hands Ulrich a bandage. "Put this on it, please."
"It's incredible, I barely squeezed the glass. They're pretty fragile, I guess" Yumi says as the nurse leaves.
"Fragile, huh? We're not talking about Venetian crystal," he places the bandage on her hand carefully. "Lunchroom plastic, more like it. Anyway, I know what I'm in for if I get on your nerves." She chuckles slightly and so does he. They look down to see that they're holding hands. They let go each other, looking away. Ulrich stands up, looking out the window. The air is silent until one of them gets a phone call. Ulrich picks up. "What?" Yumi looks up. "On our way" hangs up.
"I don't believe it, it's a disaster!" Jeremy exclaims.
"What is?" Ulrich asks.
"I was trying to figure out why the materialization didn't work, and I realized that Aelita's program is full of bugs!" They look in shock as he demonstrates on his computer. "When I rematerialized the hair, I…I hit a button I shouldn't have. And so, I…I damaged the annex programs."
"Annex? That doesn't sound so bad" Yumi offers in sympathy.
"That's what you think. The part of the program linking Aelita to the towers is screwed up. If Aelita enters the Lyoko code, she'll be completely reformatted!" Jeremy explains.
"Meaning?" Ulrich asks.
"…She'll disappear forever" Jeremy closes his eyes.
"You know Jeremy, a program can be debugged. We can do it together" Aelita explains, and he looks up at her.
"What if Xana attacks before we're done?" Jeremy wonders.
"Hmm, that means you gotta work fast Jeremy" Odd tells him.
"And swiftly. He's been quiet so that means something's coming" Nadia adds.
"Okay, make a story to tell the teachers. I'm not leaving this computer until I solved the problem" everyone else nods in agreement before leaving his room.
"You think he can do it?" Odd asks as he, Nadia, and Ulrich walk down the hall.
"What do you think?" Ulrich responds. "We've got two geniuses at work." They hear barking from their room. "Hey Odd, if you don't get Kiwi to calm down, they're gonna find him." Odd nods as they enter the room.
"Hey quiet Kiwi. You heard me, quiet down," Odd bends down to his dog, petting his head. "What's the matter? Did you smell something?" As he continues to bark, the window starts to crack. "What's going on?" The window suddenly breaks and Odd shields Kiwi from the glass.
"Whoa!" Ulrich comments.
"Did you do that?" Odd looks at his dog.
Later, Jim is crossing his arms. "Well, maybe it was a ball that did it. And you of course, didn't see anything" he says as Ulrich cleans up the glass.
"I couldn't have seen anything Jim, because I wasn't here" Odd rubs his neck.
"Maybe so, but since all the rooms are off limits during the day, how come you knew about the window?" He steps up to the door before stopping. "Ulrich, clean up your bed, there's hair all over it."
"What happened?" Yumi asks as Ulrich runs up to her.
"Everything's cool, Jim didn't spot Kiwi. But it was close," Ulrich says as Odd walks up to him. "He'll have to stay with Jeremy and Nadia for a while."
"What's Nadia doing with Jeremy?"
"Helping him fix Aelita before Xana moves."
"When did you two scan the STR connection blocks?" Aelita asks as the dog bark. Nadia is sitting on Jeremy's bed with her laptop.
"We already did," Jeremy answers as he glances to the side. "That's not where I went wrong. Stop chewing my slippers!" Aelita raises her eyebrows as Nadia grabs them. "Oh sorry Aelita. I was talking to the dog. When he's around, it's hard to concentrate." He then sees Kiwi has his boxers in his mouth.
"I'm not grabbing this one" Nadia tells him.
He blushes in embarrassment, hoping Aelita can't see them. "What is it?" Aelita asks.
"Oh, nothing," he turns the screen before chasing after Kiwi. "Give it back to me! Give it back! Oh!" He turns the screen back. "That dog. He took my – my handkerchief." He hears him bark again, slamming his head on the keyboard. "Oh, take him away please!"
As Sissi walks down the hall, she hears howling from Kiwi. "That mutt!" As he barks, the ceiling starts to crack, and she screams. She runs before the debris can bit her.
"I was just passing by…" Sissi tells her story to a crowd.
"I always said Sissi was full of plaster!" Odd jokes, the others chuckling.
"We're heading for the lab," Jeremy states. "With the dog barking and the school falling apart, we can't work in my room! See ya" he waves as he and Nadia leave.
"I hope they find the right solution before Xana attacks again" Ulrich says before Yumi waves.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." She leaves, Odd staring at her with a smile, but Ulrich's is different. Odd waves his hand in front of his face.
"Hello, anybody home?" Odd asks.
"Oh…all these things happening are really weird. First Yumi's glass breaks, then the window gets shattered and now, the ceiling. You think it's Xana?" Ulrich points out.
"Maybe it's just coincidence" Odd implores.
"Maybe, but Nadia did say he's been quiet. If it is Xana, he's been moving quietly." He looks to the ground.
In the lab, Jeremy and Nadia continue to work on de-bugging the program. "We're back Aelita." He presses enter and Aelita feels pulsations in the desert sector.
"Oh no, I don't believe it. Not now" she states.
"Okay, we can get back to work. Aelita? Are you there?"
"It's Xana!" She appears on the screen. "He's launched an attack."
"Oh…" He sits there stiffly for a few seconds. "Are you…are you sure? Oh…" The situation is dramatic. Aelita isn't debugged yet. And if she attempts to deactivate the tower…she'd be risking herself…he starts the scan, and a tower is activated in the forest sector. "Oh no, it can't be!" He slams his fist on the armchair. "Not now…"
"Great timing Xana…" Nadia says sarcastically.
"I've never seen such a thing in my entire career" Principal Delmas says in shock, having heard about what happened to Sissi. They look at the fallen plaster.
"You think humidity could have caused it sir?" Jim asks as he kicks away a piece.
"I don't know. Doesn't look very damp" he looks up at the hole in the ceiling.
"The dog…I've been after him for a long time," he clenches his fist before speeding across the hall to hear. "What the?" The wall starts to crack, along with the floor. "Whoa!" He backs away.
"Jim, we have to evacuate the building!" The principal orders, Jim nodding in agreement.
"It's Xana for sure" Ulrich says.
"Oh yeah, it's him. How does he do it?" Odd wonders.
"Your guess is as good as mine, but you heard Sissi. Kiwi began barking just before the ceiling fell" Ulrich explains.
"That might be a lead. With the window, it was the same."
"Maybe Kiwi can feel the attacks coming."
"Or maybe he can hear them like a kind of ultrasound" Odd wonders as Ulrich's phone rings.
"Yes Jeremy?"
"Xana alert!" He warns.
"That's what we thought."
"Warn Yumi!"
"We'll be there," Ulrich hangs up. "It's real this time. Xana has woken up."
The speaker system suddenly comes on. "Your attention please. Due to a danger of a structural accident, please evacuate the building calmly and leave the immediate area. No one will be permitted to enter the building until further notice."
"Kiwi! He's in Jeremy's room! I'll go and get him" Odd runs off.
"See you at the lab" Ulrich tells him as he calls Yumi.
Yumi has just finished taking a bath, putting on her shirt. Her phone rings. "Hello? Hi Ulrich. What? Uh, I'm not really ready yet. Okay, I'll hurry." She hangs up, turning to her mirror.
Odd jumps over the crack in the floor. Odd opens the door to Jeremy's room. "Kiwi, where are you, come on." He jumps to Odd. They start to leave, but he hears someone in their room, when they're supposed to be outside. He opens the door to see Milly and Tamiya, but they're both listening to music so loud, they didn't even hear the announcement. (Also, don't ask why they're on the boys floor. There are so many controversial and inconsistencies in this first season that get challenged later.)
"Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock, huh?' Milly asks in annoyance.
"Didn't you hear the principal? You gotta get out. The whole building may collapse" Odd explains.
"Come on, cut it out."
"No, I swear. I'm not joking."
Milly looks at Tamiya before they follow him. His dog follows on foot before he starts barking.
"Hey, what's wrong with your dog?" Milly asks as the building starts to shake. Milly and Tamiya hold onto each other. Odd opens his eyes when it stops, seeing the stairs destroyed. They all look is shock, as it was their only way out..
"About face," Odd runs in the opposite direction. The girls and do follow him. "Oh no." The floor has separated in half. Xana has truly trapped them.
Ulrich enters the lab, running inside. "Ulrich! How are things going over there?"
"There are cracks in the school building. It may cave in," Ulrich replies. "Xana's using some kind of ultrasound system."
"Move silently. He definitely did it in a way we wouldn't notice right away" Nadia points out.
"Ultrasound, huh? That's possible. He could be using the electrical sockets" Jeremy guesses.
"Listen, he may attack the factory. Odd is on his way, and I've warned Yumi" Ulrich tells him.
"Let's hope Xana gives us enough time to repair my program" Jeremy turns to the computer. Ulrich's phone rings.
"Yes, Odd? Huh?"
"I'm stuck, right. With Milly and Tamiya, if you must know" Odd walks forward, Milly and Tamiya confused. "The firefighters will be here any minute, so I can't meet you right now. No, don't wait. Go to Lyoko with Nadia. Mhm." Kiwi starts barking again, the other side lifting. Kiwi jumps into Odd's arms and he runs off. He loses grip on his phone, and it falls. "No!"
"Odd! Odd!" Ulrich hangs up. "No time to lose Jeremy."
"But I'm not finished fixing the program!" Jeremy insists.
"Odd is in danger. Transfer me and Nadia right now!" Jeremy gives a worried look at the computer, knowing the risks. He closes his eyes, deciding he had no choice…while he wanted to help Aelita, he didn't want to risk his friends' lives.
Yumi runs through the street before she hears howling. All the dogs are howling at the sky and Yumi narrows her eyes. "What's going on?" The sidewalk starts to crack in front of her and she gasps. She looks up and sees the power going off. She continues running. She had to get to the factory before it's affected. The dogs bark before they run off. The sidewalk starts to crack, cutting the power off on the whole town.
Ulrich and Nadia step into the scanner. "Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Nadia." Jeremy presses enter. "Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Nadia. Virtualization." The tow are successfully virtualized to the forest sector, He looks around before turning, about to pull his sword out on Aelita.
"Ulrich…"
"Careful Ulrich. I know you're ready but…" Nadia starts.
"Shh," Aelita says, putting a finger to her lips. "They're here."
Ulrich whips around, but nothing's there. "There's nothing on my holomap for now."
"Things seem pretty calm" Ulrich says.
"Like today" Nadia adds.
"That's not what the pulsations say" Aelita points to the ground.
"If we follow them, they're bound to lead us to the tower Xana's activated" Ulrich explains, Aelita nodding. The three run off as they fail to notice the kankerlots following them.
Yumi runs through the school, stopping in her tracks as the school has gotten worse. Half of it looks like it's about to fall off. Yumi turns to Sissi. "What's happened here?"
Sissi looks to her, actually crying. Yumi looks surprised. Sissi never looked this worried for anything. "Odd…he's stuck inside…with Milly and Tamiya." Yumi grits her teeth because this was Xana's doing. She looks at the building, which starts to shake again.
"Oh, why aren't they here yet?" Milly asks in fear. Odd screams as he looks at the floor below. The shaking stops and he looks to the girls. "Look, we can't stay here. We've gotta cross over to the other side" Odd tells them.
"Are you out of your mind Odd? It's at least a 10 meter drop!" Tamiya says.
"Trust me okay? I can't tell you how yet, but we're gonna make it! In the meantime, we've gotta get across where we'll be safe!" He slides down with Kiwi in his arms.
"No!" Tamiya shouts, but he lands safely, putting Kiwi down. He waves up to them.
"No problem, your turn now!"
Milly looks in fear, looking at Tamiya.
Ulrich, Nadia, and Aelita run through the path, following the pulsations. No tower in sight. "We're coming up to the barrel of paths!" Ulrich calls out as the kankerlots trail them. Ulrich looks around before the monster fires, hitting his leg. Ulrich rolls to safety, pulling out his sword. "Jeremy, how many life points do I have?"
"Hold on,70. Uh, no 60!"
"Make up you mind Jeremy, I gotta know!" Another laser is fired, and they move out of the way. "Take cover Aelita!"
"I can't do a million things at once. Dodge the lasers and you won't have to keep count!" Jeremy retorts. Ulrich flips from the lasers, blocking one with his sword. Nadia blocks with her sword. Ulrich jumps, moving to a tree. He speeds away as a laser hits the tree, creating a hole.
Yumi arrives as the factory starts to be affected by the attack, smoke behind her. She jumps down using the rope, but the floor splits under her feet. She looks up, running out of the way from a falling piece of debris. She uses the elevator, which thankfully has not been shut down.
"Yumi, immediate departure! Ulrich, Nadia, and Aelita need your help," Jeremy tells her through the speakers. She arrives in the scanner room and Jeremy begins the process. "Okay, here we go." Some debris has already fallen in the room. Yumi steps in. "Transfer Yumi. Scanner Yumi. Her card and body are scanned. "Virtualization."
Ulrich, Nadia, and Aelita continue to run, coming to an intersection. "The pulsations are separating in two directions now!"
"Head east. The monsters you managed to dodge before aren't very far away."
"Okay Jeremy, we'll try to find another path" Aelita says as Ulrich has his sword ready. Nadia draws hers as well.
"Too late," Ulrich tells her as a kankerlot is about to fire. They dodge from the laser before running. Three more block their way. One of them fires and Ulrich and Aelita both dodge. They turn around to see another two. All three of them were cornered. Suddenly, one of them is destroyed by a stray fan. They look to see Yumi landing. "Yumi!"
"Need a hand around here?" She throws it again, destroying the two in their way. Ulrich jumps up, jumping from a laser, Nadia follows next to him. They both jump and land behind the monsters.
"Impact!" Ulrich says stabbing his sword into the eye.
"Bullseye!" Nadia says next, doing the same.
"Here we go!" Yumi says as the four start following the pulsations. They go right and Ulrich sees the tower on his left.
"There!"
Odd catches Tamiya. "There you go. Okay, your turn Milly!" Odd tells her.
"No, I'll never make it!" She shouts.
"Sure you will, come on." The building rumbles, making her fall. Odd runs up and she lands on the edge. She almost falls, but Odd pulls her to safety. "Good going, girls. Okay, let's get out of here." They run towards an exit, but they are stopped. "I don't believe it." Rocks block their path, and the building starts to shake again.
A krab runs up to them. "Watch out!" Yumi warns as the girls dodge the laser. Ulrich turns around, letting Yumi, Nadia, and Aelita pass him. They jump across the gap, Aelita sighing in relief. The krab walks up to Ulrich, who jumps and stabs it in the eye.
"Impact!" He jumps away, the krab destroyed. He starts running again as another one appears. Ulrich jumps to the other side, hiding with Yumi, Aelita, and Nadia. The krab jumps as well, hitting against the bark. Yumi moves herself slightly as the krab fires. Ulrich rolls out of the way. A third krab approaches and fires at Nadia. She ducks at the last second.
"Xana's pulled out all the stops. We're not gonna last long Jeremy. Jeremy, do you read me? Oh Jeremy!" Ulrich states as they are surrounded by three krabs.
"A little patience guys. I'm almost done! Okay, Aelita can enter the program now. It's safe" Jeremy says as the ceiling starts to crumble. The krabs fire, trying to hit them. Yumi blocks a laser with her fan, Aelita clutching her arm.
"We're all set. Hang on Aelita. I'm starting the repair program" Jeremy reports. Aelita looks up with a smile.
"Just in time too. It's getting kinda hot around here" Yumi looks at the monster as they continue their assault. Yumi ducks and Jeremy looks around the factory nervously.
"Here we go!" He presses enter, but the repair program doesn't work. "No, this can't be!"
A krab hits against the bark. A laser narrowly misses Aelita as she sighs. She stands up, holding her arm. "Jeremy, I've got to deactivate the tower." Yumi, Ulrich, and Nadia stare at her.
"No, give me a little more time. I-I'll start over again!"
"Jeremy, you know there's no choice."
"You'll be reformatted and disappear Aelita!" Jeremy tells her panicking. "I -I can't let you do that!"
"Are you ready for one last run?" She asks Yumi, Ulrich, and Nadia, ignoring Jeremy.
"No Aelita, don't do it!" Jeremy begs. Yumi pulls out her fan. Ulrich and Nadia pulling out their swords. They believe that it's her choice and that she wants to do it, so they were with her all the way.
"One for each of us" Nadia asks as Ulrich and Yumi nod in reply.
"I'll be in front" Ulrich says.
"I'll cover the one next to it."
"And I'll get last" Yumi finishes.
Ulrich runs forward and jumps. "Impact!" He destroys the krab and lands in front of Nadia's one by accident. He gasps as it fires, devirtualizing him. Nadia lands on top and pierces it. It explodes with her on top and she is also devirtualized.
Kiwi barks and Odd knew what that meant. The girls inch closer to him.
Yumi and Aelita make it to the tower. Aelita waves at Yumi as her last goodbye., running as Yumi pulls out her fan. The final krab approaches and she runs. She jumps from the laser and the krab fires again. She is hit, devirtualized, and the krab is destroyed. Aelita enters the tower. She walks to the middle and floats to the top.
Debris falls onto the ground, Milly and Tamiya holding onto Odd. He gives a determined look, knowing that Aelita would be deactivating the tower any minute now.
Aelita has made it to the top. "No, don't do it Aelita!"
"Goodbye Jeremy" she tells him with a smile.
"Nooooo!" He yells in anguish. "Aelita!" She presses her hand to the interface.
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
The rumbling at the school stops and the tower is deactivated…as well as Aelita's reformatting. "Return to the past now" Jeremy sounded like he was about to cry. Everything is reset.
Yumi wipes away tears as they all look in sadness. The rest of them are all silent. Ulrich walks up to Jeremy.
"Jeremy, it wasn't your fault" Ulrich tries to reassure him.
"It was, and all that…for a strand of hair" he blows on his glasses.
"Hey the hair!" Yumi realizes. "Jeremy, didn't you say that the hair contained Aelita's entire genetic code?" He puts his glasses back on.
"Her computer code, yes, but-"
"Is it possible to reverse things and recreate Aelita's code from the strand of the hair?" He gasps in realization. He pulls out the test tube.
Yumi plants the tube in the scanner. "Here we go," Jeremy presses enter. As the scanner starts, the hair is slightly lifted. "It works! The programs are getting restored! Let's hope that-" Aelita reappears on the screen!
"Jeremy," she says. "I'm ready for my materialization now."
"Aelita" Ulrich mutters.
"Aelita!" Yumi shouts happily, hugging Ulrich.
"Yeah!" Odd cheers.
"We're not done yet" Nadia cheers. Jeremy starts crying happily.
"Jeremy? Did I miss something? Why is there water on your face?" She wonders, seemingly her sacrifice was erased from her memory.
"I'll tell you later Aelita," he lifts his glasses, wiping his face. "This time, we only missed…by a hair." They start laughing, Aelita watching the screen as everything is back to normal…even Xana.
A.N. – Nothing much too say here except that this one of my favorites from season 1. They aren't many and if you know me, you know my all time favorite from this season. Only eight more till we reach that episode, 13 for the rest of the season. Next time, Xana traps them on Earth. Who will emerge and who will suffer? All next time. P.S. - For clarification, Nadia went to help Jeremy after the window shattered in Odd and Ulrich's room. PM me with story ideas! Review with questions or comments! I will respond! As always, till next time! See ya! -lyokowarrior97
