Plot
While Jeremie searches for Aelita's human memory in Lyoko, Ulrich is confronted with a relational problem since Yumi often hangs out with William Dunbar. At the same time, Odd and Sam meet Theo Gauthier (Jeff Goldblum) and his little sister Laura (Carrie Fisher). The first seduces Sissi but is in love with Yumi, the second seduces and loves Jeremiah. After a week of imbalance in love, Ulrich and Aelita, with Odd and Sam, bring their friends back to their senses with more or less success. As for XANA, it cooks a very ingenious plan.
...
During driving lessons, Ulrich and William fight to impress Yumi, especially as their respective parents are present. William passes the test while Ulrich fails miserably. Yumi then refuses to be William's girlfriend, pretending she was only hanging out with him out of friendship. But the pot-de-glue is not convinced and allows himself to insult Ulrich (He calls it "underside of moldy foreskin.") The samurai then inflicts a severe correction in front of everyone, despite the physical Herculean of his rival. The class officer (Jason Robards) then arrests Ulrich, but his father (Clint Eastwood), a former colonel of the Canadian Army, intervenes and releases him, having heard the insult swung by William. The latter then gets up, manages to tear the door of the vehicle and sends it on Ulrich. The latter dodges it and it is Milly who receives it on her stomach, causing her navel to bleed and sending her to hospital. The families of the rivals then point to the office of Jean-Pierre Delmas. In the face of Walter's strong arguments (Ulrich's father) and the whimsical attitude of the Dunbar, Ulrich is only stuck for 4 hours and William is suspended for 3 weeks for breaking equipment and hurting a student. However, shouts are heard, followed by an explosion. Ulrich looks out the window and then rushes out of the principal's office. XANA has materialized a Krabe in the real world and uses it to try to kill the Lyoko Warriors. Jeremy and Aelita go to the lab alone while Ulrich and Yumi try to neutralize the creature. William insists on helping the Lyoko warriors, only Odd lets him lend a hand. Jeremiah and Aelita arrive at the lab, but one of the scanners is destroyed because of the Krabe. Aelita must dive alone. Jeremy hurries as another Krabe comes out of the second scanner. The young elf lands when a third Krabe destroys the last scanner. She must turn off the tower without help and make a return to the past. She also wears a more modern combat outfit like the season 4's one, except it exposes her waist, including the navel and the abs.
...
Ulrich and Yumi head to Yumi's home as the second Krabe shows up. Odd and William take care of the first Krabe and destroy it by sending the car of the course to explode on him. Jim sees the third Krabe heading towards Place des Arts.
...
Aelita, hidden behind an iceberg, organizes her plan. Indeed, several Kankrelats block access to the tower. Jeremy sends him a motorcycle to a wheel he has just designed (The Overbike). The girl then rushes on the flock and avoids them painfully (Her belly get shot) before entering the tower and disables it, while Ulrich tries to protect Yumi and his family from the Krabe. The return to the past is started and brings the heroes back to Ulrich's turn. The latter then succeeds. William congratulates him surprisingly and offers him to join his bodybuilding club. The samurai accepts to Yumi's surprise.
...
Weeks later, Jeremy despairs to find the memory of Aelita in Lyoko, but discovers that his girlfriend has the keys to Lyoko, which allows to be free of the supercomputer and to walk in the global NCP, but the young girl ignores how to use it. He also discovers the existence of a fifth territory named "Carthage", which is located in the heart of Lyoko. As going back to her room, she feels a short pain in her belly. During her sleep, her navel became red and is poorly increasing temperature.
...
As Jeremy try to find her memory, Aelita kills the time at the pool. While she's swimming, she feels a diarrhea-like pain in her tummy and run to the bathroom. When she's there, the pain disappears and is replaced by a huge peristaltism. Her abs become red and her navel starts to bleed. She then faints because of pain. Something alive goes out of her navel and roars.
...
In the night, Aelita wakes up at the hospital, lied with her sister Milly. They are watching their bellies : they're all blue. Aelita turns suddenly sad and then rubs Milly's abs. She reveals what happens to her during the last summer and Lyoko's secret. Milly answers that she already know about Lyoko. They are hugging in love.
...
Meanwhile, Ulrich and Yumi walks to the hospital for visiting Aelita and Milly, but the japanese girl heards something strange. A creature then attacks her : it's a Rampant, which is the thing who's comes out of Aelita's navel at the pool. Ulrich try to take the Rampant off Yumi's waist/ribs, but the creature strangles him. William then arrives as he was going to visit Milly for apologizes, he helps Ulrich and Yumi to fight the rampant. William finally kill it as skewer its skull with a crowbar, after few and long minutes. Ulrich and Yumi thanks him, he apologizes the young geisha for annoying her and the samouraï for trying to stole his girlfriend. They become friends.

Shortly after, Ulrich and Yumi tell to Aelita what happens. The young elf is very worried and takes Milly's hand.
...
1 month later, Aelita gets back to McGill after being enough recovered. She and Milly are in the latter's room, both in bras and shorts, talking about their crush as rubbing each other's abs with lotion for a total recorver. William suddenly enters the room with a T800-like face. He knocks out the both sisters and grabs Aelita on his shoulder. Another William appears in frnt of him and gets scared, revealing that the first one is a polymorphic clone. The real William gets pushed to the wall while the fake William starts running to the factory.
...
The real William wakes out and fellow the lyoko-warriors to the factory. When they arrive, the clone has dissipated in metal parts it turns into a Terminator. While William and Odd are fighting the Terminator, Ulrich and Yumi are send by Jeremy into Lyoko, where they discovers their own season 4's outfits. Yumi, like Aelita, see her waist being exposed, but oddly, she loves and enjoy to show her belly button to Ulrich, who's laughing because Yumi's passion is too much weird.
