I don't own Code Lyoko, only some characters and story.
X.A.N.A and the Mysterious Girl
It's been about 13 years since X.A.N.A was destroyed and the supercomputer was shut down. Peace returned to the world. All of the warriors who had done all this have now graduated from Kadic Academy and gone their separate ways.
The world was now in peace. But like all good things, it would never last.
"Ugh!" A young boy is being held back by a teacher. "Let go of me!"
The teacher sighs, being a male in his 20's, blonde hair and glasses. "Come on Luc, you need to be getting to class."
"Oh come on Mr. Belpois." Luc says.
'Yep, that's me, Jeremie Belpois.' Jeremy narrates. 'I decided I would be a teacher here at Kadic Academy in order to stay near the factory and keep an eye on the supercomputer.'
"You need to be in math class right now if I'm not mistaken." Jeremie tells him.
"Come on I'm have one of the top 3 highest grades in math, science, and I'm top in your computer class." Luc tells him.
"Nevertheless, you should be in class. Not lurking the school grounds." Jeremie tells him.
Luc sighs. "Fine, but I need to head back to my room to get my stuff then."
"Heh that's more like it." Jeremie smiles before letting Luc go. "Out of curiosity, where exactly were you planning on going?"
"Oh you know, just heading off to do work on my laptop, you know my usual routine." Luc tells him.
Jeremy doesn't seems to believe him at first but accepts it. "Fine then, but try not to get lost in your laptop. Trust me." Jeremie tells him before walking off.
"… Well better get going." Luc runs off, but away from the school.
Meanwhile during math class, another student looks bored.
"Man when am I ever going to actually need to use this work?" A boy with short red hair complains.
"Oh stop complaining Lyon." A girl with similar red hair, only abit longer, says to him.
"You can't possibly be enjoying this Lucille." Lyon tells her.
"Of course not, but I'm not going to mutter to myself about it." Lucille tells him.
"Mr. and Ms. Rousel! Perhaps you can take your little sibling argument to the principal's office!" The teacher yells at them.
"Hmm?" Both look confuse before walking out and heading for the principal's office.
"Who was arguing?" Lyon asks.
"Who knows?" Lucille says.
As they walk, they notice Luc as he runs to the park area of the school.
"Hmm wasn't that Belpois's pet?" Lyon asks.
"Don't be rude Lyon." Lucille tells him. "But I wonder where he's off to in such a hurry."
"Well he better hurry back soon, computer class starts in half an hour." Lyon says before they start walking again.
Luc runs into a small clearing before looking around.
"Heh." He finds a strange manhole in the middle of the clearing. "This must be it." He says to himself before opening it up.
"Whoa." He says as he looks in. "I hope this is safe." He says to himself before climbing down inside the manhole and closing it.
He walks through a sewer. "Man who would send me on a crazy trip like this?" He asks as he pulls out a laptop as he walks.
On the screen, there's a message that shows instructions to get somewhere.
"Man this better be important or I'm going to be expelled for nothing." He says to himself as he continues on.
He is eventually led to an exit and is at an abandon factory.
"Yep this definitely appears to be the type of place for a shady meeting." He says as he walks in.
He finds himself on the upper level of the building.
"Man how do I get down from here?" He asks as he looks around for a way down. "Hmm…" He walks up and finds a couple of ropes hanging from above.
"I know I'm probably going to regret this." He says before gulping.
He grabs one and swings down from the upper floor and jumps on the bottom floor.
"Oh god that was terrifying!" He gasps, trying to catch his breath. "Now where do I go?" He asks as he pulls out his laptop to see the instructions again.
"Use the elevator to move down." He reads before looking around and spotting an old elevator. "Is this thing serious?! That piece of junk looks like it could fall apart in any moment!" He exclaims.
He then walks to it and pushes a button to open it, and to his surprise, it does.
"Hmm…" He walks in. "Okay now let's see…" He says before pushing a button as instructed by the unknown message.
The door to the elevator closes and slowly moves down.
Back at Kadic, it's now between classes.
Lyon is looking around the place. He soon comes up to another guy.
"Hey Vincent, have you Belpois's pet anywhere?" Lyon asks him.
"….." Vincent doesn't say anything, or even look at him.
"Hey come on! You don't have to be my friend you know!" Lyon yells at him. "Just answer my question!"
"….." Vincent just stays silent.
"You see this is why no one likes you man." Lyon says and is suddenly grabbed by his collar and lifted of the ground.
"Leave me alone already!" Vincent growls at him.
"Heh, see now were communicating." Lyon smiles.
"…" Vincent drops him. "… If you were looking for Luc, he hasn't been around." He tells Lyon.
"Thanks, see you're actually a nice guy if you try." Lyon says before walking off.
"…" Vincent walks off in the other direction.
With Luc, he arrives in a large room that is mostly empty, except for a strange mechanism in the center.
"Whoa!" He exclaims. "Well this is different than everything else here." He says before walking up to it.
He walks around the contraption and eventually finds a switch. "Guess this turns it on." He says before pressing the switch, which causes a lever to appear. "… Well that was unnecessary." He says before pushing the lever up.
Suddenly the mechanism activates.
"Well that worked." He smirks and looks back at the message. "Okay next is to go to another floor." He reads before walking back to the elevator.
At the school, classes are back in session.
"Hmm?" Jeremie looks among his class. "Uh has anyone seen Luc anywhere?"
"I saw him run into the park." Lyon tells him. "But he hasn't come back yet."
"What!?" Jeremie exclaims, obviously worried. 'Did he find…' He thinks to himself.
"Uh Mr. Belpois are you okay?" Lucille asks.
"Oh, I'm fine." He answers. "I got to go somewhere important. All of you are to study silently. A teacher will be here soon to take my place." He tells his class before running out.
"Hmm?" Lyon and Lucille look at each other, the other students look just as confused.
Luc is now sitting at a large computer and typing, he's in a large room with only the computer and the chair he's in.
"This is incredible!" He exclaims. "Who would ever guess a supercomputer would be located in this rundown place!" He continues to type. Looking at numerous amounts of data, graphs, binary codes, etc.
"The message ends with activating this thing, but why?" He asks himself.
Suddenly he hears the elevator moving.
"Huh?" Luc looks over as the elevator opens.
"You!" Luc sees Jeremie walk into the room, obviously not pleased to see Luc there.
"Mr. Belpois?!" Luc exclaims. "How did you find this place?"
"I should be asking you that!" Jeremie yells at him. "This place is dangerous and so is that computer!"
"What are you talking about? It's just a computer." Luc asks.
As this is going on, a strange black fog seeps into the room from the walls and enters into the wires of the computer.
"I'm telling you to leave this instant!" Jeremie demands him.
"Why though?!" Luc yells back.
"Because if we don't, there's no telling what mi- AHHH!" He tries to explain, but is suddenly electrocuted.
"What the-?! Mr. Belpois!" Luc exclaims before noticing several electrical wires moving on their own. "Huh how the-?!" He exclaims before having to dodge them from hitting him. "AH!"
The wires continue to attack Luc.
"Gah! What's going on here!?" He asks as a wire strikes at him. "AHH!" He yells.
Suddenly the wire is knocked down.
"Huh?" Luc asks confused.
"Well that was surprising." Luc looks up to see both Lyon and Lucille standing in front of him.
"You two? But how?" Luc asks.
"Mr. Belpois look suspicious in class so we decided to tail him." Lyon explains.
"And good thing we did or you be fried right now." Lucille says.
"Yeah thanks." Luc says.
"Ugh." Jeremie gets up.
"Mr. Belpois are you okay?" Luc asks.
"Y-yeah. I'll be fine." Jeremie tells them. "Dang it! How is he still alive?"
"He?" Lucille asks.
"He who?" Lyon continues.
"An artificial intelligence named X.A.N.A." Jeremie explains.
"An artificial intelligence? So someone created it?" Luc asks.
"Yeah but that's not important." Jeremie says. "We need to turn off the supercomputer immediately!" He tells them.
They all nod in agreement and they all walk to the elevator.
"Uh, hello?" They hear a voice.
"Huh? Is someone there?" Luc asks.
They all look around.
"Look!" Lyon gestures to the supercomputer.
On the screen, they see a young girl, short black hair and wearing strange clothing.
"Hmm?" Jeremie looks confused before picking up a small earpiece and putting it on. "Uh hello?"
"Oh whose there?" The girl says, looking around in confusion.
"My name is Jeremie, who are you and why are you in Lyoko?" He asks her.
"Lyoko?" Luc asks himself.
"I don't know. I just woke up suddenly and here I was." She tells them.
"Hmm? Déjà vu." Jeremie says to himself. "This isn't good, it's not like we can shut off the supercomputer with her in it."
"Mr. Belpois, is there a way to help her?" Luc asks.
"None that I can think of without putting anyone in danger." He explains. "I'm afraid we have to shut off the supercomputer for now and wait for a better opportunity to save her."
"What? You can't be serious!" Luc yells at him.
"We don't have a choice! We can't let X.A.N.A stay around!" He tells him.
"Grr!" Luc growls in anger.
"Hmm? Am I causing you trouble?" The girl asks.
Before Jeremie can respond, Lucille takes the earpiece.
"Don't worry, we're have you out in no time." She tells her.
"Oh good then." The girl smiles.
"What are you doing?" Jeremie asks.
"You know a way for us to help her don't you Mr. Belpois?" Lyon asks.
"….." Jeremie goes silent.
"We know you know more than you're letting on." He continues. "Just tell us what to do, and we're do it!"
"…. You guys are so stubborn." Jeremie says before laughing abit. "Reminds me of another group of idiots."
"Hmm?" The kids all look at each other.
"Fine there is one way, but it's a long shot." Jeremie says.
