Return To the Past
Prologue
It all started on a dull October 9th for 13-year-old whiz kid of Kadic Jr. High, Jeremy Belpois. He was making robots for a school-wide robot battle competition, and he needed some new parts, so he decided to explore an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the school. What he found there was more than what he bargained for; a supercomputer complex with scanners of some sort, along with a mysterious digital world called Lyoko. This world contained a virtual being named Aelita along with an evil demonic artificial intelligence called XANA who uses towers in Lyoko to gain access to Earth. With the assistance of three kids: Yumi Ishyama, Ulrich Stern, and Odd Della Robia, they stopped XANA, saved the world at least twenty times, and, as Jeremy wanted, materialized Aelita.
Later, they discovered that the creator of Lyoko and XANA was a scientist named Franz Hopper, whom they later found out was Aelita's father. He created a program called Carthage to hack into enemy government computer systems and destroy them. But, when it turned on them, Hopper contained Carthage in a digital world called Lyoko, and created XANA to govern it. Later, it seemed, the government was going to arrest him for "illegal experimentation", and he took his daughter, Aelita, with him. He hoped XANA would let them hide out there for a while until they were safe. Unfortunately he turned on them and stole Aelita's memory and shut down the supercomputer. But, when XANA's Schyphozoa killed Aelita when XANA set a trap, Hopper saved her and gave back her memory.
Later, XANA possessed William Dunbar, a new member of the group elected against Yumi's wishes, and used him to destroy the core of, which destroyed entirely, Lyoko. However, Franz Hopper, trapped in the Network, gave Jeremy the blueprints for Lyoko via e-mail. Shortly after this, XANA created his own worlds named Replikas, using supercomputers from all over the world, to take over the world. Jeremy created a virtual submarine to go into the net and destroy the Replikas called the Skidbladnir; the name Aelita got from one of Hopper's books. However, after they destroyed at least ten, XANA drew all the energy from all the Replikas to create a 50-foot tall monster with a gigantic sword for an arm called the Kolossus, which destroyed the "Skid". Hopper then sacrificed himself to give Jeremy a multi-agent system that freed William from XANA, destroyed the Replikas, the Kolossus, and XANA itself. Finally, after re-electing Sissi into the group, the shut down the supercomputer ending their adventures on Lyoko.
That all happened a month ago. Today was a normal day in PE class at Kadic Jr. High. The next week, almost everyone would be graduating to high school, and everyone was exited, especially the Lyoko Gang. Now that XANA was gone, they could finally be normal school kids again.
Jim was teaching the principles of basketball to his students.
"Now, basketball, or B-ball as some say it nowadays, is a skill, acquired through hard work, practice, guts, speed, stamina, and strength." said Jim as he was instructing the class. "Observe." He threw the ball from the 3-point zone straight into the basket.
"You know, I was in a professional basketball team once." he added.
"Really? What happened?" Herve asked.
Like always, when asked a question like this, Jim said: "Well... I, uh...I'd rather not talk about it. Anyway, line up." He threw the ball to Odd. "Della Robia, you get first crack. Let's see how fast you guys can sink it."
After class, at lunch, Mr. Delmas, Sissi's father, and the principal of Kadic Jr. High, made an announcement:
"Remember; the big graduation ceremony is next Saturday at 9:00 sharp."
That night, the gang was talking about what would happen when they would get to high school.
"Maybe, through a strange twist of fate, we'll all get enrolled in the same school." Odd stated.
"Thankfully, XANA is out of the picture, so we can finally be normal kids again." Yumi added.
"Yeah. Well, see ya tomorrow, guys. We got that big test tomorrow and this time we're not going to miss this because of our now-gone hero business." said Jeremy.
"Later, guys." said William. Then they all left.
Little did Jeremy Belpois, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishyama, Odd Della Robia, Aelita Hopper, William Dunbar, or even their new companion Sissi Delmas know what would lie in store for them on that next day would be something that would change their lives, not to mention the way they would look at Jeremy, forever.
What WILL happen next? Only time(or at least chapter 1) will tell.
