Introduction and Background

The story which follows is a parallel to the fanfic Blitz. Many key events will be changed or eliminated altogether, and other vital information will be added in as needed. This not the same story as Blitz.

Anyhow, I've changed quite a bit from the original story, which was written in late 2005.

First, I've decided to add in quite a large amount of information about the pasts of Odd and especially Zephyr, and I'll probably write a story for each one of the characters with their family history, etc. after the completion of this one.

Okay, disclaimer for the entire story:

Zephyr, Jack, Allil, and all other original characters (not found in the Code: LYOKO television series) are mine and are not to be used without permission. If you ask first, odds are that I will let you use one or more or even all of the characters under certain circumstances (no monetary gain, credit given, etc.).

With that said, here's the framework of the characters:

When the story starts out it is the year 1974, and when it ends it is 2004. This may be tweaked later, but for the most part the story is simply modern and transcends time from the 1970s to the present day as technology and other such cultural aspects affected by time are significantly important to the story.

When it does get to the time when the Lyoko gang enters the story(at the boarding school, not in previous scenes, where their ages at that time will be mentioned), the characters and their ages and nationalities/countries of origin are as follows:
