Code Lyoko S3 E9

## Plot

It's business as usual on Lyoko, with the kids having to deactivate another tower. However, all of their avatars, and even a Krab, start bugging out and freezing in place. Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi are devirtualized, but luckily Aelita is able to deactivate the tower. Jeremie decides to carry out some routine checks to see if it was a XANA attack or something else. He misses the boys' dormitory inspection, even though he said it'd only take a few minutes. Then again, Jeremie is the poster child of an overachiever workaholic. When he checks the basement where the nuclear core is located, he realizes that someone has sabotaged the supercomputer. While watching security footage, he sees that Jim did it while being possessed by XANA. But didn't it affect XANA's own minions too? Then again, XANA himself is no longer connected to the supercomputer. If Jeremie can't fix it in three hours, the whole thing will be destroyed. As in Lyoko like when the battery was failing or the physical supercomputer itself and Lyoko with it like with the secret agents? The drop in calculating speed will become more and more serious. Jeremie can't even launch an RTTP. However, he fails the dorm inspection and has to clean his room before he can do anything, plus the others aren't allowed to help him. Luckily, he's able to get a box to Aelita so she can fix it, or at least limit the damage until he can get back. Yumi and William meanwhile are going on a field trip to a museum. Jeremie notices that XANA has activated a tower, but stuffing all his stuff in the closet isn't really considered clean. Aelita also notices the tower and calls Ulrich. Yumi has to ditch her field trip, but at least this time she's not caught by William. Odd and Ulrich get tangled up in fast growing roots as part of XANA's latest attack. Jeremie is finally able to get away from Jim. Would it kill him to actually clean his room? He's able to free Ulrich with a conveniently placed shovel before getting tangled up as well. He tells Ulrich to meet up with Aelita in the factory. Yumi also gets tangled up, and Aelita was only able to fix the supercomputer temporarily. Luckily, the bug affects the monsters and makes the roots intangible, so Jeremie and Odd are able to free themselves. Jeremie returns to the supercomputer and Odd is virtualized, but the problems keep getting worse. Their vehicles disappear and Ulrich can't use Triplicate. Plus he briefly turns black and white, though that's more of an aesthetic problem. Meanwhile, Yumi is having major problems with those roots, and they drag her down into a ravine full of them. Jeremie still has to finish the repairs for the computer before everything disappears. But he runs into a problem: He can't reboot the program because he doesn't have enough power. He could use the energy from the tower deactivation, but they can't deactivate the tower unless he reboots the system. Oy vey. Aelita figures out a way to do it. But she has to destroy the ice sector. Um, what? Destroying the whole sector would recover some energy and destroy the activated tower, but still, that's what XANA wants! Once Jeremie reboots the system, he won't be able to rematerialize them, so they'll have to manage on their own. They devirtualize themselves as the ice sector completely disappears. Yumi is okay, but her hair is a mess.
