( Code Total Drama Reality Introduction Song Starts )

( No Pain No Game (From Btoom!) )

(The ending of this story)

The song starts, showing the end of Code Lyoko where the Supercomputer is shut down and the former Lyoko Warriors leave the factory seemingly for the last time.

(I will hold it close as I wonder so aimlessly)

A single computer is shown coming online, lines of 1s and 0s streaming across the screen before the screen is replaced by a glowing sphere with the Eye of XANA, at least eight variations appearing on it. From the sphere came lines of data emerging in eight different directions. The lines of data formed into various regions, all of them floating landscapes resembling a forest, a desert, an arctic, mountains, volcanoes, swamp and a jungle.

(Into this new world)

The new lands orbited the golden sphere as the camera zoomed in on the Eye of XANA staring at the screen.

(The game has only just begun)

The Eye then flashes red, and the sphere turns black.

(I can see it in your eyes)

A girl with pink hair sits on her bed, panting as she turns to see two pictures of her friends and her father. She smiles briefly but that smile turns to a look of horror as both her friends and her father are engulfed by a great darkness and the red Eye shines down on her. The Supercomputer, thought to be shut down, is reactivated and there is a flash of light.

(This is where tomorrow brings a new game)

Aelita is shown alone both in the real world and in Lyoko, hordes of monsters surrounding her.

Geoff is first shown in his human form before transitioning to his Lyoko form.

Next to him is Bridgette, holding her surfboard in the real world before changing into her Lyoko form, her board splitting into two swords.

(It's time to learn that pain is gain)

Gwen is shown sitting in front of tree, looking up and is instantly changed into her Lyoko Avatar, brandishing her scythe.

DJ is shown in the woods, tending to a little rabbit as he stands up and morphs into his Lyoko form, turning to face the camera with a stern glare.

LeShawna is last, ready to fight in both her human form and her Lyoko form.

(Ready fight!)

William and a dark reflection of himself as XANA's General are shown standing back-to-back, turning to face each other and swinging their swords.

The screen is split by the two swords, showing New Lyoko as the title appears:

CODE: TOTAL DRAMA REALITY

(I gotta crush and paint away the anguish)

Aelita is shown first, sitting at the computer before she is then shown as the DJ of a party. She morphs into her Lyoko form and conjures an energy field.

This was followed quickly by Geoff wildly waving his hat while riding something with Bridgette holding onto him by the back.

(Of my past for the sake of my future)

Gwen is shown next, drawing in her sketchbook and signifying with a sad face as Duncan, Courtney and Trent appear behind her, their backs facing in her direction.

(Until my life comes to an end)

DJ is shown running for his life from appears to be a giant bear.

(I am gonna fight to tear apart that destiny)

LeShawna is shown next, standing confidently with her team, ready to face whatever crazy challenge comes next.

(Aoh, break out and start a revolution)

The antagonists of Total Drama: Heather, Courtney, Justin, Anne Maria, Jo, Lightning, Scott and Alejandro in the Total Drama Machine are shown from left to right, grinning or glaring at the camera, holding up an imaginary case of the million- dollar prize money in their hands. Chris Mclean is shown next, arms crossed as the chair he is sitting in spins to meet the camera, zooming out to show it is the monitor room for the Total Drama show.

A dark shadow appears above them, scrawny in appearance and hair falling over the left eye as it glares darkly at the screen.

(Until you find the answer you're looking for)

The camera then shows Aelita with the new Lyoko Warriors, the TD Lyoko Warriors and William sitting around a campfire, all of them staring up into the starry night sky, a picture of her friends and father resting in Aelita's hands.

(I'll challenge all my limits)

Aelita in her Lyoko form with her wings sprouting from her back is shown, clutching Mr. Puck in her hands as she seemingly falls back, her friends and relatives in the background.

The camera moves down to show William kneeling down, clutching his sword in both hands. As this happens, the camera moves down, showing depictions of the TD Lyoko Warriors and other characters in the background.

The camera continues to move down to show Geoff pulling Bridgette into sharing a picture with LeShawna bringing her face up over Bridgette's shoulder, the three of them in their Lyoko forms. While this happens, Harold, Lindsay, Beth, Trent, Katie and Sadie are shown in the background.

Below them is Gwen with her arms and legs curled around her with her cape swirling behind her like wings while Heather and Courtney are shown in the background glaring at each other followed by Sierra clutching Cody who looks distressed, Eva crossing her arms along with B and Beth both waving, the latter looking very shy. Behind Gwen appeared Dawn in her own Lyoko form in a meditative pose while upside down while facing Gwen with her eyes closed, her light robe contrasting with Gwen's cape with dark clothing, almost forming a yin-yang symbol.

Behind Dawn appears Scott, snickering evilly.

(Knowing this could be my only chance now)

DJ is shown last, seemingly falling back while holding his pet rabbit: Bunny in his hands with a happy smile. His teammates shown in the background starting with Duncan, Tyler, Justin and Alejandro ending with Chef Hatchet and Chris McClean.

He is followed by Mike and Zoey, both clutching their hands and smiling at each other as in background appears Brick, Jo, Lightning, Sam and Staci.

And lately Cameron appears staring up at the others.

(To overcome this fate that has come over me)

The screen turns black and the Eye of XANA immediately flashes into existence, glowing red and shadowing the outline of a singular person with red glowing eyes.

(The ending of this story)

Aelita is shown, standing in a meadow now with the wind gently blowing through her hair.

(I will hold it close as I wonder so aimlessly)

She holds up a hand, gazing sadly up as the images of her friends and parents appear in the sky.

(Into this new world)

Her hand then becomes digital, transitioning to Lyoko.

((The game has only just begun))

She gazes up a little longer before she notices her new friends and allies standing with her and smiles before looking forward, seeing a tower in the distance.

(I can see it in your eyes)

Just as they are about to rush towards the tower, the camera angles up into the digital sky as the song reaches its end.

The scene then shifts to pictures of Aelita and her friends both old and new on a desktop as the title appears on last time:

CODE: TOTAL DRAMA REALITY

( No Pain No Game (From Btoom!) Ends )


Episode 19: Conflict

Half an Hour Ago

"With XANA dead, all that was left was to shutdown the supercomputer, but then Sissy as always tried to ruin everything. We came up with the idea of telling her she was our friend so she would stop bothering us."

Sissy, who had been listening in through the door, gasped with wide eyes.

"It's amazing to think she almost joined the group at the beginning of everything and that one thing that has never changed about her is that she always selfishly thinks of herself and is always trying to break up our group from her silly obsession with Ulrich. She told her dad everything at the beginning and three years later when we're finally ending it, she does it again after she puts a tracker on Ulrich's jacket that led her to the factory, found my diary and then spilled everything to the principal, forcing us to use one last Return to the Past to stop her. If I have to pretend to be friends with her until the 12th grade, then so be it even if it means putting up with her childish and delusional clingy behavior. It is clear that no matter how much things have changed; Sissy never will change for the better and will always be an annoying thorn in our sides."

Sissy, who had been outside the room but managed to listen in was utterly shocked and distraught with tears slipping down her cheeks. She stepped away from the door, unable to believe what she had heard.

All these years, Ulrich and his friends had only pretended to consider her their friend.

Pretended…

Like it was all a big joke to them.

How could they?

It wasn't like they hadn't brought on themselves. One moment they were nice to her, the next they turned away from her without her even knowing why. Their claim being that she had outed them to her father not once but numerous times…

Well, how was she supposed to defend herself if she didn't even remember?!

They pretend to like her now just throw her of, make her think they liked her and believe she was some kind of brat…

Sissy backed against the wall, tears continuing to fall but when she heard footsteps she immediately turned and ran, rushing around the corner and watching as the adults came out with Aelita.

"We're going to this factory to see the proof for ourselves first." Her father stated as Jim escorted Aelita out. "I'll call Dunbar so he can explain himself."

"Sir, you're making a mistake."

"Quiet." Ulrich's father barked at Aelita.

Sissy watched as the adults walked off with Aelita. She looked inside her father's office and saw Jeremy's laptop sitting on her father's desk.

She looked at, peeking around and then came over to the desk, turning the laptop around as she sat down in her father's chair. She looked through the programs and found Jeremy's diary along with files likely part of this Loco…

Sissy continued reading through the files, wanting to see and know everything she could. She looked at Jeremy's diary and picked out a recording near the beginning.

"October 3rd, 2006. Odd and Ulrich surprised me by telling me about how they went back in time. At first, I didn't believe them but evidence recorded in the supercomputer proved they were telling the truth. The supercomputer is able to rewind the past and it was done as soon as Maya or should I say Aelita deactivated the tower. Only those who are scanned into the supercomputer can remember what happens when this 'Return to the Past' program is activated. I'd prefer not to get into the scanners, so I worked on a way to record a digital image of myself into the supercomputer and it was surprisingly easy once I found the right programs."

Sissy zeroed in on this recording and began following the instructions.

Connecting to Lyoko

Accessing Supercomputer


As Aelita is being led to the school gates, a pair of eyes observe this and become narrowed. She takes out her phone and speed-dials one number.

"Come on, come on." She muttered in frustration. "Pick up…"

Finally, someone answered. "Hello."

"Franz, the school principal along with the parents of Aelita's missing friends are heading to the school gate."

"I know. XANA has offered to return the missing children in return for Aelita and William."

"They wouldn't actually go through with it…Not even Walter could be that stupid." The woman shook her head.

"Unfortunately, you are giving Walter much more credit than he ever deserved."

"Ah, William. Just in time." Jean-Pierre started, causing her to look and see William near the gate.

Before William could ask what's going on, Aelita did so for him. "THEY'RE HANDING US OVER TO XANA IN EXCHANGED FOR ODD, YUMI AND ULRICH!"

William blanched.

They were what?!

"Miss Sto-I mean, Hopper, calm down!" Jean-Pierre reprimanded but Aelita struggled against Jim's grip.

"XANA WANTS TO USE THE SCYPHOZOA ON US AGAIN! RUN WILLIAM, NOW!" Aelita screamed. "GET TO THE FACTORY AND WARN THE OTHERS!"

William paled as the mere mention of the Scyphozoa was enough for him to take off in the opposite direction.

"Dunbar, stop!" Jean-Pierra called out. "Jim!"

"I got him!" Jim said, handing Aelita over the principal and chased after William. "Dunbar, get back here!"

She watched as William ran off, Jim hot on his trails. "They're taking Aelita to the factory."

"I've already called Aelita's new friends. They will be at the factory before they get there." Franz responded. "In the meantime, I need to find something that can help me access Lyoko to monitor the situation."

"Are you actually planning to enter the campus?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Are Jim and Jean-Pierre leaving?"

"Yes."

"Are there any other staff members from my time at the school?"

"No."

"Then it's doubtful anyone will recognize me and a Return to the Past will ensure I am never noticed."


Present Time

"I knew it would be too good to be true!" Gwen shouted as they dodged more lasers.

They had made it to the tower, but it was guarded by six shielded Dark Tarantulas. Their shields were up and they were firing at the group. DJ held his barrier up to stop the incoming shots, but it was a standoff. For now.

"I can't hold this up much longer." DJ said as he tried to keep the barrier up.

"Aelita, can't you use your creativity again?" asked Bridgette.

"They are too far spread out. I could only take them out one at a time and the longer I did the more life points I would lose." Aelita shook her head.

"We have to find a way!" Bridgette replied.

She and Gwen were deflecting lasers shots back into the shields. Suddenly one of the Dark Tarantula's barriers vanished.

"What the . . ." asked Geoff.

"Energy field!" Aelita shouted.

Taking advantage of the shield's drop Aelita fired an Energy Field that hit the Tarantula in the face, destroying it.

"Why did that monster's shields go down?" asked Gwen.

"It's possible it dropped from the number of lasers that were deflected back into the shield. That means that they can hold for only a bit under a prolonged assault like DJ's barrier." Said Aelita taking cover behind a tree.

"So, we need to reflect their lasers back into their shields." Gwen said.

"It seems to be only way." Said Aelita.

"All, right, DJ cover Aelita as soon as we get a path cleared. Bridgette, Geoff, with me, we're going to create a diversion." Said Gwen.

"Got it!"

They ran out catching the monsters' attention. Gwen twirled her scythe in her hand and the weapon glowed creating a barrier. The monsters aimed and fired at her. The barrier deflected incoming shots back into their shields. After a few seconds of endless lasers being deflected back their shields began to drop.

"Now!" Gwen shouted.

Bridgette flew in on her surfboard with Geoff jumping throwing his chakrams. They hit two Tarantulas, slicing into their XANA eyes, destroying them instantly. The chakrams flew back into Geoff's hand and they combined into his axe. He blocked incoming laser shots as Bridgette flew in, her surfboard split into her two swords. Letting out a battle cry she fell from above with her swords raised above her head not knowing that the wave shaped tattoos on her were glowing.

Suddenly her sword glowed light blue as they swung down releasing an energy wave resembling waves seen in the ocean that sliced through another non shielded Tarantula. The glowing faded but the tattoos that went up from Bridgette's arms to her neck had change. There no longer any tattoos on her neck.

"Awesome!" shouted Geoff as Bridgette landed on her feet.

"Thanks. Geoff look out!" Bridgette shouted.

Geoff turned only to be hit in the chest by a couple of lasers from one of the remaining monsters. These hits dropped his life points to zero. His avatar disappeared into data as he fell back.

"Big mistake!" shouted Bridgette.

Her tattoos glowed again, and she released another energy wave that took out the attacking monster while the same time her wave shaped tattoos shortened in length again. Gwen flew in blocking more lasers; the lasers flew back into the monsters, hitting them in the faces forcing them back. She threw her scythe, and it sliced through a Tarantula's neck before flying back into the hands of its owner. There was only one monster left and DJ and Aelita took advantage of that.

They ran out of their cover and headed towards the tower as fast as they could.

"Cameron, any word on William and Dawn?" Aelita asked but received no answer. "Cameron?"


The polymorph snickered as it typed away. "I have everything under control."

Cameron grunted as he tried getting up while nearby LeShawna stood up, glaring at the clone. "Oh, you did not zap me!"

The elevator doors then opened, revealing Micheal Belpois.

"It's time to set the real you free, William." The Specter replied, typing the 'enter' key.


"Aelita, look!" Bridgette called out.

Aelilta turned around to see a new monster materialize between her and the tower.

This one was different, even compared to the new monsters.

Aelita and the others stepped back, all of them sporting looks of fear and surprised, eyes widening at the sight.

It was a giant, ape-like monster almost twenty feet tall. It was covered head-to-toe in black metallic armor whiles its 'face' was a smooth metallic white with the Eye of XANA imprinted on it. In one hand, it held a large axe with the blade glowing fierce red.

The monster held up its weapon and let out a metallic roar.

"Just what is that?!" DJ squeaked, jumping back with a freaked outlook on his face.

"Looks like a robo-Kong." LeShawna commented, gripping her hammer tightly.


"William? William?" Dawn called out but her voice couldn't reach him, wherever he was on the other side of the ice wall.

That was when the ground began to shake.

She spun around and her eyes widened as new monster appeared and landed on the ground a few yards away. It stood over twenty feet tall, clad in a white fur coat with a light blue cloak with a light blue metallic 'face' with a fanged mouth that when it opened, revealed a cannon inside while the Eye of XANA was imprinted on where the eyes and nose would be if the creature was organic.

Dawn stepped back with a fearful look on her face. "Cameron? Can you hear me?"


"RAGH!"

Cameron was still on the ground as LeShawna jumped the polymorph, only to be zapped back against the wall. "LeShawna!"

The polymorph chuckled as it approached Cameron, its hand sparkling and ready to blast him.

"No!"

The polymorph was suddenly knock off its feet by Michael Belpois who came barreling forward and slammed right into the specter. Cameron managed to get up and staggered over to the computer as Jeremy's father held the polymorph down.

The specter looked up at Michael, the Eye of XANA replacing the human pupils. "Do you understand that by doing this, you forfeit any chance of saving your son's life?"

"Even if I am, I would never trust someone or something like to save him!" Michael barked. "We'll find a way ourselves!"

The polymorph simply laughed. "I doubt you'll remember anything after this day, even if you win, Mr. Belpois. Not this place, not what you learned and certainly not that your dear son will remain dead, his digital essence scattered across all of cyberspace!"

Cameron paused when he heard the specter. 'Dead but…'

"Guess we have another 'Jeremy' here." William whispered with a smile but winced at the pained smile on Aelita's face. "…Sorry."

"Sounds like this kid was smart." Bridgette commented.

"He was one of the best." Aelita smiled sadly.

Aelita said that her three friends were imprisoned but had been evasive when it came to the friend named Jeremy.

Was it because he had been killed?


William turned around, feeling the ground shaking. "What is happening?"

"That would be more of my new creations greeting Aelita's new allies." XANA answered with a confident grin. "I came well prepared this time, William."

William turned, glaring hatefully at the Avatar of the AI who nearly stole his life.

"Why do you make that face, William?" XANA tilted his head. "It's not like I referred to any of them as your friends. How can they be when you just met them? All you know of them is that they are contestants on a simple live reality television program that happened to be in the right place at the right time for Aelita to recruit them, just as she and the others recruited you. A gamble born from desperation when she was cornered with no way out."

Behind XANA, Yumi was banging against the Guardian imprisoning her, trying to say something but her voice was muted.

"Now what could you be trying to say, Yumi?" XANA glanced over his shoulder. "It must be something important. It can't be a warning since you once spoke that asking William to assist you as a Lyoko Warrior was a mistake and how you knew he couldn't be trusted."

Yumi blanched before banging even harder against her Guardian. Meanwhile, William tightened his grip on his sword.

"It can't be that you're asking him to abandon you to go and help Aelita either. If he did that, he would effectively be leaving you to the same fate as you and the rest left him when you recruited him." XANA's lips curled into a grin. "Do you think him cruel and vindictive enough to do that? Do you fear him harboring such a grudge?"

"Shut up!" William shouted, charging and swinging his sword with a battle cry…

Only XANA to easily catch the large weapon with one hand.

William grunted as he struggled to pull his weapon free but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't wrestle his weapon from XANA's grip.

"Is that the best you can do? Is that full strength of your resolve?" XANA asked, not even batting an eye as William continued to struggle. "You strike with the same recklessness as before when you tried proving yourself to Jeremy, Aelita and Yumi."

William froze.

"What am I truly to do you, William? You look at me as the monster who nearly ruined your life, but I was helping you, even though you never knew it while the ones you believed to be your friends cast you out over a misstep that could have just as easily happened to any of them. And Yumi, even before deciding it was a mistake to ever trust you, only ever used you to get back at Ulrich." XANA declared, making William flinch while Yumi and Ulrich froze.

"That's a lie!" William barked, struggling even harder to wrench his sword free.

"You know it is true. I don't have to lie about something like this and even then, I don't believe in lying like that. I saw through your memories, any time she and Ulrich were in a dispute she would leave him, approach you while you were in sight of him, ask you to keep her company and walk off with her, leaving poor, moody Ulrich in the literal dust. And yet…nothing ever came from that, did it?" XANA asked. "The next moment, she's back with Ulrich and her friends as if nothing ever happened. And she believed you couldn't be trusted with helping her against me and only agreed when it was becoming clear I was becoming too strong for her and her group to stop. She never believed in you then and she and the others discarded any responsibility towards you when they thought the battle was over and thus removed you from their lives, barely paying any attention to you at all. Does any of this sound like how a friend should act?"

William couldn't speak; his grip was still strong, but he had a deep conflict look on his face. He looked up at Yumi who had a saddened remorseful look on her face.

"Don't look at her, William. The more you look, the sorrier you'll feel for her and for yourself, thinking she would never do that, despite all actions to the contrary." XANA gently pushed William's sword down. "It would only be when she and the others are trapped like this, when you are their only option to escape would they ever entertain the idea of making amends with you. You know it. It's okay to feel that way. To feel betrayed, manipulated, to be the one who is left behind."

William was trembling now.

"The nice guy, useful for fights but gets rejected and ignored when he is no longer needed." XANA continued softly as Yumi banged even harder against the Guardian. "Here, you are a king. Nothing can hurt you, especially her and her friends who shunned you not only for a mistake, but one which anyone of them could have made. They say you were reckless but how many times were they just as reckless and easy to exploit. That would be quite the question, isn't that right, Odd?"

Odd looked surprised by the question directed at him.

"And let's not forget the entire reason Ulrich disliked you in the beginning was because he was jealous. He may claim you're not a team player, but he endangered himself and the rest of the so-called Lyoko Gang plenty of times, even going as far as to using the Return to the Past to make me stronger, all for the sake of trying to keep his precious Yumi from leaving and how was he repaid?"

Ulrich stiffened, clenching his fists at how XANA easily brought up one of his own mistakes, not only rubbing it in his face but also using it as a tactic to mess with William.

"They pushed him aside, just as you were, only he was given the chance to supposedly make amends with them by saving them even though all he wanted was to keep them all together. I must ask, why would you want to gain recognition from such ingrateful hypocrites who forgive each other but never offered you a chance?" XANA asked, his tone seemingly innocent.

William was still, with his sword pointed downwards. He was completely defenceless and open to attack, but XANA didn't attack. He was trying something else. Yumi, Odd and Ulrich could all see it but could do nothing as XANA seemingly lowered William's defenses by playing on his feelings and insecurities.

And it was working.

"No one should have gone through with what you did, William. So, allow me to offer one last act of kindness." XANA stepped back. "Unlike them, I will offer you a choice."

Three portals appeared underneath the Guardians holding the captured Lyoko Warriors. At the same time, the Guardians began to crackle with electrical energy.

"You can try your hand at freeing these three and hope they offer some form of amends, even supposedly forgiving you for your previous mistakes even if there is nothing to truly forgive." XANA remarked. "Or you can go help your new friends and save them from meeting a similar fate."

William looked up with wide eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I have no quarrel with them, but they were brought into this fight by Aelita when she asked them for help, so I have no choice but treat them as my enemies. However, you can perhaps save them from meeting the same fate as these three…and Jeremy if you go now to save them. Or you can take the chance by trying to free these three right now, wasting valuable time." XANA explained, stepping back as his form began to dissolve into black smoke. "The choice is yours, William. Set the real you free."

And with that, XANA was gone.

Behind William, the ice wall shattered, and a surprise cry rang out. "William!"

William glanced behind. "Dawn?!"

Dawn was frantically dodging strikes from some kind of Yeti like monster. While distracted, the Guardians crackled with orange energy, forcing William to look back. Just as the Guardians discharged all their energy at him, William raised his sword and caught all the arcs with his large weapon. William grunted as the force of the attacks pushed him back, but he remained strong.

He could do this.

He wouldn't fail like he did before.

"The nice guy, useful for fights but gets rejected and ignored when he is no longer needed."

XANA's words echoed in his mind, and he found himself faltering.

Was this what he really wanted?

Did he really want to save them?

As Aelita walked down the hall, she paused when she saw someone stepping out in front of her. "…William."

"Hey, Aelita." William greeted, sounding awkward. "Um…I heard what happened. At least, I heard what everyone thinks happened. Are they…"

Aelita choked back a sob. "They were captured and…. Jeremy's dead."

William's eyes widened and for a moment he didn't what to do but he managed to hold out his arms, offering a hug. Aelita took it, needing some comfort and cried into William's shoulder. For a moment, she just let out her pain before she managed to calm down and step back.

"Thanks, William." Aelita wiped her eyes.

"Aelita…" William started but trailed off. "I know, I'm probably the last person to be offering help given what happened the last time but if you do need something…anything…I'll do it even if you ask me to do…nothing."

"I know." Aelita glanced back at William, a slightly softer expression on her face could be seen now. "Thank you, William. Really, thank you."

"It would be best if one of us remained here to assist you and look after William." Dawn answered, wrapping a bandage around William's wounds.

"Thanks." William managed to say.

"I'm sorry that you all had to get involved with this. We never wanted to involve anyone else in our fight."

"Hey, XANA's out to kill us all, if I gotta face the facts then I don't care." LeShawna shrugged.

"So, you'll help me?" Aelita looked hopeful.

"You bet." DJ stood up. "I'm not letting this guy run around."

"Me neither." Bridgette said. "He won't know what hit him."

Aelita smiled gratefully. "Thank you, all of you. It will be a hard fight considering the world will have its eyes on you most of the time."

"Hey, Aelita." William was already waiting for her near the manhole. "Got your text message and was out the door a second later."

"Thanks, William." Aelita said gratefully as she lifted the sewer hatch.

"Are you sure you want me coming along? I wasn't very helpful the last couple of times." William asked as he climbed down.

"We were all taken by surprise that time, William. Besides, aside from me you're the only veteran left." Aelita replied as William landed on the ground.

"That's not exactly much." William said solemnly.

"I know but we have an entirely new group with us, and I don't want to make the same mistakes as we did when we recruited you." Aelita replied as they grabbed the nearby skateboards.

William's eyes went wide, and he let out a loud yell as he swung his sword, sending all the energy right back at the Guardians.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

One by one, the Guardians exploded and released their captives.

Ulrich, Odd and Yumi were free.


Footsteps were heard and Sissy immediately ducked under her father's desk. The door opened and someone walked in.

"Good. They left Jeremy's laptop here. This is better than trying to sneak into the dorms." A man's voice was heard.

Sissy covered her mouth and remained hidden as the man saw down. All she could see was that he wore a brown turtleneck sweater with a lab coat.

"They must have been going through his files before leaving. I just hope I can find a way to help before it's too late."

Sissy's eyes went wide.

This man knew too?

Who was he?
