Author's Notes:
-Alright, this is going to sound confusing, but just bear with me. When I originally published this story, this was written before Discord and Divergence. Technically, this comes before Discord and Divergence and is the first Code Lyoko fanfic I've ever made. Since I was in such a rush to get the first 19 chapters over to this website so THENINJAOFCOOL could continue reading it, I didn't bother to publish my other stuff here. (Getting those 19 chapters of Discord and Divergence was really stressful and it took three days to get them all on there...)
-This is gonna be a long story. By the time I've finished re-unfolding the story, it will be the longest fanfic in terms of number of chapters. So get your popcorn and soda and watch the madness unfold!
-The story will be formatted similar to Nights Out of Dreams, The Battle of Dunbar and Discord and Divergence. It will also be narrated from five different first person points of view, shifting from one chapter to the next. Eventually, you'll see a pattern.
Alright, let's get on with the show!
Oh, um, hello. I kind of wished they would start with someone else in this story, but I suppose they chose me for a reason. Where do I begin? Oh, I should probably start with an introduction, even thought you probably don't need it. My name is Jeremie Belpois. At this moment, me and most of the Lyoko crew (not counting Yumi and William, who are a year older than us) were now 20 years old, and I had various jobs which relate to computer and robot programming. My wife Aelita and I are expecting our child to arrive in almost a month, and at this point, I thought nothing could go wrong. That's probably what Aelita believed as well, but little did I know, fate had some other plans for us all. I had no idea just how wrong I was. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw that Aelita was not beside me.
Jeremie: Aelita? Aelita?! (he sees her cellphone has been left behind)
I looked through the entire house we lived in twice. There was no note, her cellphone was left behind, there was no trace of her anywhere within the house we lived in, and no explanation for her disappearance. I fell to the floor on my knees, completely devastated by the bad news.
Jeremie: I don't understand. What could of happened? Where did it all go wrong?
I remembered how we were able to bring Aelita into the real world, how we defeated Xana many years ago, and so many other memories that gave me nostalgia.
(Jeremie is seen with Aelita, holding her hand under a moonlit night)
Aelita: So many stars...
Jeremie: Beautiful, isn't it?
Aelita: Which one of those stars do you think is the closest?
Jeremie: I know which one is the closest star.
Aelita: And which one would that be?
Jeremie: You. (Aelita smiles and blushes)
Even after three hours, when it was 8:30 in the morning, I was still confused.
Jeremie: Well Jeremie, you know what you must do. (he grabs his cellphone and begins to dial a number very slowly)
I wanted to call in the threesome, aka, Ulrich, Yumi and William to help, but since I hadn't talked them to them in about a year, I don't know what ever became of them. I hoped that they were alive and well. And I knew the last one I could call on also didn't know about Aelita's current condition, but I had no one else to turn to. I wouldn't tell him, or the rest of my friends, but I knew I had to call him, no matter how busy he might be today.
Jeremie: Come on... Please... answer me...
I waited for what seemed like hours... And little did I know, this would be only the beginning of the chain-reaction of disasters...
