In Your Loving Arms
Two couples have moved to France to help find someone of great importance. In the process of finding this person, they get involved with a war between a certain group of students and an evil AI. Now, they must help these students fight this AI while searching for this important person.
Anne Marshall belongs to AquaDestiny'sEmbrace
Dylan Enheart belongs to I heart Lyoko
Chris Carver, Kate Walker, and Vanessa Stevens belong to me.
I do not own Code Lyoko or its characters.
As Chris, Kate, Anne, and Dylan stood outside the gates of Kadic Academy, Chris looked at the other three.
"Thank you guys so much for coming to help me." He said with a smile.
"You're my boyfriend, Chris. I'd do ANYTHING to make you happy." Kate said.
"Yeah, man. You're our friend." Dylan said to him. Anne simply smiled and nodded at him.
"Okay. Let's head inside and get enrolled." Chris said.
After they told the secretary they needed to speak with Delmas, they walked into the principal's office.
"Ah. There you four are." He said to them as they approached his desk. He handed them both room keys and their schedules.
"Now, Mr. Enheart and Mr. Carver will share a room, as will Ms. Marshall and Ms. Walker." Delmas said, making the four of them smile.
"Thank you, sir." Chris said, then the four of them left and headed for the dormitories. Chris and Dylan kissed their girlfriends, then went to find their room.
Anne and Kate walked up to the girls' dorms when they ran into a raven haired girl.
"Well, well, well. You two must be the new girls." She greeted unenthusiastically.
"Yeah. I'm Kate, and this is Anne." Kate said, but could tell the girl didn't care.
"Who are you?" Anne asked.
"The daughter of the principal, Sissi." The girl, Sissi, said.
"Well, Sissi. I can tell what kind of person you are: A snob." Kate remarked, earning a glare from Sissi.
"You kidding me? I am the star, the diva of this school."
"'Diva' sounds about right. I don't know about 'star'." Anne said, making herself and Kate laugh, while Sissi went wide eyed with fury.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!" She shouted, then stomped downstairs.
Anne looked at Kate and smirked. "That… was a good one." She said.
"You said it, Annie." Kate agreed.
After that, the two best friends went to try and find their room when a girl with pink hair walked to them.
"Hi." She greeted with a smile. "You two must be the new students. I'm Aelita."
"I'm Anne, and this is my best friend, Kate." Anne introduced.
"Nice to meet you both. You guys looking for your room?" Aelita asked, and the girls nodded.
Aelita kindly took the paper and looked at them with a smile. "That's next to my room. Come on, I'll show you."
The three girls walked to Aelita's room and she pointed to the room on the right. "Here you two go." She said when her phone went off.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Aelita, XANA's launched another attack!" A voice said. Unfortunately, Anne and Kate heard and rose an eyebrow.
"Okay, Jeremy. I'm on my way." Aelita said, then hung up.
"Sorry, girls, but I've gotta go." Aelita said, then took off running. Kate called Chris.
"Hey, baby. What's up?" He answered.
"A girl named Aelita just took off. Anne and I don't know all the details, but we heard someone mention a name. XANA, I think." She replied.
"No kidding. Some guy named Jeremy just took off on us as well."
"Something's not right."
"I say we follow them."
"Agreed."
With that, the four of them followed Aelita, Jeremy, and a few other students to a manhole.
"What the hell would they be doing in the sewers?" Dylan asked.
"Who knows? Let's follow them." Kate said.
The four made their way down to the sewers. Chris took one look at the water and gagged.
"I got one word: Nasty." He thought aloud.
"No shit." Anne muttered, holding her nose.
The four of them then walked through the sewers until they found a ladder.
"OH, THANK GOD!" Kate shouted as they all climbed up and onto a bridge. "Wait. What would those guys want in this factory?" Dylan asked.
"Let's find out." Chris said, then they ran inside. Anne stopped as soon as she and the others reached a couple of ropes.
"Jesus Christ, that's high." She said, causing her boyfriend to place a hand on her shoulder.
"We'll be okay, baby. I promise." Dylan assured her.
Anne shakily nodded. "O-Okay." She stammered. Chris and Dylan slid down the ropes first, followed by the girls. When she grasped the rope, Anne shut her visible eye tightly, then slid down.
Chris held back the urge to crack a joke when Anne glared at him.
"Not. One. Word. Carver." She growled, making Chris widen his eyes behind his sunglasses as he nodded.
"Yes, ma'am." He said. The two couples then walked to an elevator shaft. Anne reached out to press a button when Kate grabbed her arm.
"Hold on, Anne. Who knows if this thing still works?" She asked when Chris pressed the button, bringing an elevator up to them.
"Well, it's working." Dylan said bluntly.
"Let's see where it leads." Anne said as all four piled into the elevator.
The elevator took them down to a sort of lab with a computer.
"Whoa!" Dylan said when someone gasped in the seat in front of them. The chair turned around to reveal a boy in a brown turtleneck, light brown jeans with blue stripes running down both sides and glasses on.
"JEREMY?!" Dylan and Chris exclaimed.
"What are you guys doing here?!" Jeremy asked.
"We could ask you the same thing." Anne said.
"What's going on, Jeremy?" A familiar voice Anne and Kate recognized asked.
"Is that you, Aelita?!" Kate asked.
"KATE?!" Aelita asked.
"What's going on, Jeremy?" Another girl's voice asked.
"Chris, Dylan, Anne, and Kate followed us to the factory." Jeremy replied.
"WHAT?!" Five voices shouted.
"What the hell is all this?" Dylan asked.
"We don't have time to explain! Einstein, we're getting pinned down and flanked everywhere!" Another voice said.
Jeremy looked at the two couples and sighed. "Oh, I am so out of my mind. You four take that elevator one more level down. There are three cabins. You guys have to help the others." Jeremy said.
"Well, where are they?" Kate asked.
"In a virtual world called Lyoko."
"Okay, I'd like to wake up now." Chris said.
"I swear, it's the truth."
"Okay." Dylan said slowly.
The four reluctantly walked back into the elevator, took it one more level down, and saw three cylinders.
Anne and Kate stepped into two of them. "The girls are in position, Jeremy." Chris said.
"Okay. Transfer Anne. Transfer Kate."
The doors closed, surprising the girls.
"Scanner Anne. Scanner Kate."
Suddenly, a blast of air sent the girls' hair out of their faces.
"Virtualization."
After a few seconds, the scanners opened.
"What the hell did you do, Jeremy?" Chris demanded.
"Relax, okay? They're on Lyoko."
"Okay, then. Send us in after them." Dylan ordered.
"Okay. Step inside." Jeremy said, and the two boys slowly entered the cabins.
"Transfer Chris. Transfer Dylan."
The doors closed behind them, surprising the two.
"Hey, what's the big idea?!" Chris asked.
"Scanner Chris. Scanner Dylan."
Suddenly, the same blast of air the girls felt hit them.
"Virtualization."
"WHOA!" Chris shouted after falling several feet to the ground of a desert. He landed on his face. "Ouch." He muttered as he stood up. He then heard a thud and turned to see Dylan landed on his ass.
Everyone's outfit had changed. Chris looked down at himself and saw he had an all-black ninja outfit. "Okay. I don't feel at all like Storm Shadow." He said sarcastically.
He then looked at his girlfriend. "You look awesome, Katie." He said.
Kate was dressed in an ODST armor. She had a sniper rifle on her back, a combat knife on her left shoulder, a Boltshot on her right thigh, and plasma grenades on both sides of her chest.
"Yeah, you do." Dylan said. Everyone looked at him.
He had a US Marine Corps uniform with black camouflage, black combat boots, a black solder plate carrier system, black fingerless combat gloves, a black balaclava, and a United States version of an enhanced combat helmet. His weapons were his Beretta M9 pistol, an NR-40 combat knife, an RGD-5 hand grenade, and an M16A4 assault rifle.
"You look awesome, baby. How do I like?" Anne asked.
The three turned to her to see she had a red coat with a black flame pattern at the bottom that ended a few inches above her ankles, a green vest over a black long sleeved shirt with blue pants and blue sandals. On her right leg was a kunai holster. Attached to her hip was a pouch. Kate reached into it and pulled out a shuriken and a kunai.
"Like a badass." Dylan said.
Chris frowned. "I don't have any weapons on me." He said as he looked himself over until he saw two hilts sticking out of his side. He grasped the hilts, then pulled them out to reveal them to be Sai daggers. "Awesome! My favorite weapons!" He said as he spun them around in his hands.
"Okay, you guys. The others are a bit further than where you guys are." Jeremy said.
"That you, Jeremy?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah. I'm talking to you guys from the factory."
"How far are your friends?" Chris asked.
"About 72 degrees east from your location."
"So…what? You expect us to run there?" Chris asked.
"Well, I do have a few vehicles that I can send you."
"Do it." Anne requested.
"Okay. Two vehicles on their way."
After a few seconds, a one wheeled motorcycle and a hovercraft-like vehicle appeared in front of them.
"Dibs on the bike." Chris called as he and Kate mounted it.
Anne and Dylan sighed with annoyance, but got on the hovercraft.
"Careful, Chris. Ulrich doesn't like anyone riding the Overbike. Yumi's the same way with the Overwing."
"I take it Anne and I are on the Overwing?" Dylan inquired.
"Yes, but I'll work on some vehicles for you guys later. For now, HURRY!"
"Okay, okay. We're going." Chris said as he floored the Overbike with Dylan driving the Overwing.
They arrived to see five other kids fighting off block-shaped monsters. Chris looked at Kate to see a plasma grenade in her hand. He smirked and floored the Overbike. He hit a ramp and flew above one of the monsters.
"Grenade!" She shouted, then threw the grenade on the monster. It stuck to the monster and exploded after a second, blasting the monster to pieces. Chris drove the Overbike back to the five.
"Need some help, y'all?" He asked when a guy dressed as a samurai glared at them.
"What are you two doing on my bike?" He asked.
"Nice to see you, too." Chris said.
"You must be Ulrich." Kate guessed.
"Yeah, that's me." Ulrich said as Dylan and Anne flew in on the Overwing. Anne had a kunai in her hand. Dylan began to fly in a circle above one of the monsters. Anne lined up her throw and threw it at a symbol on the monster, destroying it.
"Why the hell are you two on my ride?" A girl dressed like a geisha asked, glaring at the couple as they approached.
"So, you're Yumi." Anne inquired.
"Yes, I am, but I don't like other people riding my ride."
"I'll work on programming vehicles for them later. For now, Chris, Anne, Dylan, and Kate. Try to see what powers you have." Jeremy said.
"Well, seeing as how Anne's dressed like she's from Naruto, I'd say her powers similar to his." Chris said.
Anne looked thoughtful, then tried it. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" She shouted and a clone of herself appeared next to her.
Kate saw one of the monsters sneaking up on someone dressed like a purple cat and pushed it away from him. "HELL YEAH! I GOT THE FORCE, BITCHES!" She gloated as she pushed another monster off the edge.
Chris had his Sais in his hands as he faced a monster. Suddenly, he disappeared, making Kate worried.
"Jeremy, what happened to my boyfriend?!" She asked as the monster Chris was facing was destroyed. He then became visible again.
"Invisibility?! AWESOME!" He shouted.
The last monster approached Dylan, but time slowed down around him. He pulled out his pistol and shot the monster, destroying it.
"Nice. I'll call that 'Dead-Eye'." Dylan said.
"Nice work, you guys. But it looks like some Hornets are on their way."
"Great." Dylan muttered.
Chris smirked. "You still afraid of hornets?" He joked.
Dylan frowned. "You still afraid of tight spaces?" He retorted.
Kate rolled her eyes and pushed a swarm of insect-looking monsters away from them.
"Okay. Now what?" Dylan asked.
"Now this." Aelita replied as she ran to a tower. As she did, the purple cat approached Kate as she took her helmet off.
"I'm Odd. You're cute." He said to her. Chris frowned and pointed a Sai at the cat's throat.
"Back off, hairball. She's with me." He warned.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know." Odd said, then backed away from Kate. He looked at Anne, only to see Dylan had his arm around her. Chris looked at Ulrich.
"He has a rep at Kadic for dating just about every girl." Ulrich replied.
Chris nodded. "Ah. Okay."
"He called me cute when he first met me." Aelita said when she exited the tower.
"Wow. He met you one second and already he was hitting on you?" Anne asked with a tone of disbelief.
Aelita nodded. Just then, she disappeared.
"Jeremy, did you just rematerialize Aelita?" Dylan asked.
"Yep, but because there's only three scanners, I bring everyone back three at a time."
"Cool." Kate said as she and William were also devirtualized. Anne, Dylan, and Yumi were devirtualized next, then Chris, Ulrich, and Odd were devirtualized. Once they were out of the scanners, they joined everyone else in the lab.
"Well, that was fun." Chris said.
"Well, since you guys were scanned, that makes you immune to the Returns to the Past." Jeremy said.
"Then… does that mean we're part of your little team now?" Kate cautiously asked, earning nods from the six.
"Great." Anne said with a smile as Dylan rose an eyebrow.
"Wait. Where's Chris?" He asked.
Kate widened her eyes when she saw her other half had vanished.
"He's on the bridge. It looks like he's holding something and crying." Aelita said.
"Zoom in." Anne said.
Jeremy zoomed the camera in and everyone saw Chris holding a picture of a black haired woman.
"Who's that in the picture?" Odd asked.
"She, my friend, is the reason the four of us are in France. She's my boyfriend's mother, Vanessa. We heard last that she was here in France. So we booked a flight and flew here." Kate explained.
Aelita looked saddened. "My mom's missing as well." She thought aloud, sniffling, prompting Yumi to wrap Aelita in her arms.
"We'll find her, Aelita. And Vanessa. We'll help him find her." Yumi announced, earning nods in agreement from her friends and smiles from Anne, Dylan, and Kate.
"Thanks, guys." Kate said.
"No problem." William said.
