Good enough

On an icy surface, one could see a group of friends running towards a tower.

ODD - Seriously, XANA could stop attacking as early in the morning.

ULRICH - Be happy Odd, you'll have time for breakfast

JEREMY - Please stay focused, we still don't know what kind of attack XANA is planning.

Not only was he right, a group of blocks came out of an iceberg and started shooting them.

Not that this was uncommon. The group of friends started fighting with the monsters as usual.

In the meantime, however, a dark ghost started forming next to the supercomputer and started firing lightning bolts at it.

JEREMY - Guys, it's not good, I'm losing power, it looks like XANA is trying to attack the supercomputer. I'm going to try and stop him, but please deactivate that tower quickly.

YUMI - It's not like we're just playing around either Einstein.

Jeremy could not hear her though, as he was already in the elevator to try and stop XANA. His fight with the ghost went as well as one could expect though, and he would end up on the floor pretty quickly,

On lyoko though, the group finally managed to beat the blocks, and Aelita entered the tower, deactivating it just in time.

JEREMY - Thanks, you made it in time. It looks like the supercomputer is damaged, so we'll need to fix it before we can use the return to the past. I'm bringing you back home.

However, as Jeremy typed the keywords on his screen, a red pop-up appeared.

ULRICH - Jeremy ? It's not like we have to be in class soon, but what's taking so long ?

JEREMY - I don't know. It looks like the attack was enough to de connect the scanners.

ODD - In french Einstein ?

AELITA - It means we're trapped here.

JEREMY - I'll try and fix it on my end. In the meantime try not to do anything dangerous.

AELITA - Come on, let's go inside the tower, just in case.

After half an hour of work, Jeremy finally managed to connect the scanners back.

JEREMY - OK, I've fixed what I could for now, but even though the scanners are back, there is not enough power to bring you back. I think if we reroute the energy in the core to the materialisation procedure we should be able to barely get you out.

ULRICH - So we're still stuck here ?

JEREMY - Yes, but this should not last too long now.

AELITA - We're used to these manipulations, in about 15 minutes we should be out.

Indeed, after the energy is rerouted, Jeremy is able to bring his friends back.

AELITA - How bad is the damage ?

JEREMY - Pretty bad. I've been able to repair it a bit, but it's just good enough to handle basic procedures now, even with the core's power. I'll need to keep working on it for a while.

AELITA - I'll help you then.

JEREMY - Thanks
