Episode idea: The Energy Vampire

Postby Taelia » Fri Dec 16, 2005 9:05 am

I came up with another episode idea. In this episode, titled The Energy Vampire, Odd's energy is completely drained by the Scyphozoa, whom XANA rebuilds and equips with new powers. Now that the Scyphozoa's first task has been completed, XANA needs the life energy of humans. His first target is Odd. After his energy is drained from him, he is de-virtualized and rendered unconscious.

Back at the school, Odd is sent to his and Ulrich's room to rest, and Sissi has been told to keep close watch on Odd and to protect him. When Jim walks in to Odd's room to tell him to wake up, Sissi shushes him, then tells him about what had happened. The rest of the school is targeted by the Scyphozoa for the life energy contained within the students and staff. Will this be the end of the fight for Lyoko?

Odd slowly regains his energy, but he must rest and sleep to regain it. Odd tells Sissi "Go to Lyoko and deactivate the tower for..." seconds before Sissi kisses him on his lips to make him sleep. Sissi learns how to deactivate towers from Aelita and then she does. No RTTP is done, but everyone's energy is returned to them. However, Odd's still sleeping when his energy comes back. XD

The Scyphozoa is somehow shielded by some kind of invisible force field, so when the others try to sever the Scyphozoa's tentacles, the weapons just bounce back.

The thing is Sam was only seen once in 52 episodes - the chances are she ain't coming back and I'll wager Odd's over her by now.

My one problem with this idea is that it sounds like a cross of 'Missing Link', 'Tip-Top-Shape' and 'Killer Music.'

And since when did Sissi join the team, or do you want to make that the focus of this episode?

Perhaps your energy vampire thing could drain Sissi and Aelita early on, and then is forced into regurgitating them but gets a little cross-transferance along the way, hence Sissi getting Aelita's unique tower-control ability.

Good idea!

And yes, that is the focus of the episode. For Sissi to have character development and KEEP IT!

Okay then - that's good, but don't rush it!

Here's my suggestion - Sissi winds up with some of Aelita in her, and Aelita ends up with some of Sissi in her.

In all honesty, Jeremie is not going to bother to compile a new combat avatar for Sissi as it takes a LONG time (Revelation proves Jeremie has to build their avatars and the computer does not do it automatically), but what he CAN do is cross-reference their data.

In short, both Sissi and Aelita get into seperate scanners. Using the scanners Jeremie is able to rearrange the misplaced bits of coding, and Aelita is virtualised.

Sissi stays on Earth - however, the act of being scanned automatically marks her down in the computer's memory banks as a Team Member, and so she remembers when an RTTP is triggered.

Character Development is good 'n' all, but having Sissi go from outsider to Lyoko Warrior in 23 minutes is a bit much. Wait another episode or two before that, let the team argue about the pros and cons of having someone remember who is not a part of their group, and have Sissi try and figure out her new expereinces (and her unblocked memories since the computer would have removed her memory blocks during the RTTP) by herself.

Just my thoughts - also potentital for Odd/Sissi romance if she wakes up in the night screaming after remembering in her dreams some of her more traumatic experiences - either Odd would hear and come help or she could go to him, and the act of him aiding her causes a coolness to fall between Odd and Ulrich.

Again, hope you like these ideas.

I like them.

To substantiate them:

Ulrich and Jim get their data cross-referenced as well, after Jimbo regains some suspicion, in the same episode. :D So now he will remember too.

Jim and Sissi remembering at the same time is pushing things a bit too far plot and continuality-wise. If Jim is to remember, I suggest a small story-arc revolving around his memories of Franz Hopper, and his daughter, Aelita.

I suspect Jim might have some long-term memory issues, or these half-memories from twelve years ago might be his reason for suspicion around Aelita - in fact this could lead in nicely from this story-arc as well - Sissi joining the group is bound to raise a few eyebrows and after her Jim is the most suspicious person in Kadic.

And as a thought, I'd save sending him to Lyoko for a while, but remembering and fighting on Earth would be a cool development for him.

One thing: What does XANA need the life-energy for?

And I wonder if XANA could make a seperate vampire monster? Might be a bit less conspicuous.

It's not a bad idea, but the phrase "Energy Vampire" has been used in an episode or two of Buzz Lightyear.
In that episode a robot drains the power from non-living things.

"I am Nos-4A2, do my bidding computer of McTrooper!"

*McTrooper's computer blacks out*

;)

Yeah, Energy Vampire sounds a bit cliched - so here's an alternative.

The school is putting on a production of 'Dracula', with the following cast;

Count Vladamir Dracula: William
Abraham Van-Helsing: Jeremie
Mina Harker: Yumi
Lucy Westerna: Aelita
Jonathan Harker: Ulrich
Quincy Morris: Odd
Lord Godalming: Herve
Brides of Dracula: Sissi, Milly, Tamiya

During a break in the last rehersal XANA posesses William and mutates him into a Vampire, draining the energy of others. Following the script, he first turns his 'brides', then goes after 'Lucy'.

EDIT:
It would be interesting if 'drained' victims turned into similar energy-sucking vampires. Sissi, Aelita, Milly and Tamiya acting like Dracula's sensuous brides would (within reason and decency) be cool - Aelita and Sissi would have to be turned back pretty quickly though.

The main plot could be the accidental exchange of Sissi and Aelita's data when William is startled and attacked (thus returning their energies by accident), and the subplot could be a William/Ulrich battle as he goes after his next victim - Yumi, ala 'Mina'.

The advantages of this (aside from a cool plot and lots of Dracula movie references), is that everyone would be in costume, hence William could be dressed as a svauve Dracula, Ulrich in a handsome suit, Jeremie with a bandolier of stakes etc.

During the episode William could also summon 'The Children of the Night' - a swarm of bats, or local dogs.

After the RTTP we could see the show occuring, coming off perfectly, and then during the curtaincall Sissi faints off the stage, as the first wave of memories hits her.

Cut later to the infirmary as the guys talk a bit and then leave. As they leave, the moonlight streams through a window, a dog howls and Sissi opens her eyes and breathes.

"Lyoko!"

END

Yea, That would be neat.

William: Bleh, I am here to suck thy energy for Master Xana

I just edited some plot ideas into my last post - but here's another bit of dialogue to compliment Darkborn's suggestion.

BEFORE WILLIAM IS POSESSED
(rehersal)
William: I am pleased to see you have arrived safely, friend Johnathan - I hope you will find my castle has every ammenity, and now if you pardon me, I will leave you to make your toilet-
(in the wings, Odd breaks into fits of laughter)
William (angry): What's so funny - it means 'leave you to get ready!'
Odd (play-acting): Ohno! I have angered the mighty Nosforatu! Christopher Lee, the No-Life-King is after meeee!
