I do not own Code Lyoko. I own a character that was made up for this story
This story takes place after episode 67 Double Take. It is a prequel to a series that takes place after season 4 that I made up called Code Lyoko: Xana 2.0
Code Lyoko: Prequel to Xana 2.0
"Ok guys, you are almost at the tower." "How much further Jeremie?" Asked Aelita.
"Just straight ahead it should be right there." "Laser Arrow!"
Odd fired at the creepers in the Desert sector. Which is where Xana had activated a tower. The creepers are hit directly in their eyes and destroyed.
"I'm surprised that William didn't show up today," says Ulrich.
Yumi replies, "Maybe he has other plans for us."
"Or maybe he doesn't like us anymore."
"Yeah right Odd, I highly doubt that considering he tried to throw Aelita into the digital sea." "You never know Einstein." "Aelita, are you inside the tower yet?"
"Yes, Jeremie. I'm about to deactivate it."
Tower deactivated as the screens fall around Aelita. "Return to the Past Now!" The white bubble engulfs everything, then suddenly an error is detected.
The gang is now in a hospital, but don't know why. They see a baby crying but nobody is paying attention to it. They can't even tell if it's a boy or a girl. They see a Xana ghost enter the babies body and it stops crying. A bright flash appears and they are back at Kadic in the Lunchroom.
"Did you guys see that?" Everyone nods in astonishment to what they have just seen.
"I think I lost my appetite." Ulrich says, "Odd that has to be a first."
"Well you know that really scared me. Who do you think it was?"
"I don't know Odd, but I'm going to go to the factory to see if I can find out."
"Good luck, Jeremie."
The next day Yumi is in class when suddenly a new student is introduced. "Class please welcome, Bill. He just moved here from America and has decided to join Kadic."
"Hi, everybody."
"Please take a seat. Ok."
"You can sit next to me," says Yumi.
"Ok." Bill sits down next to her and she introduces herself.
"I'm Yumi. Nice to meet you Bill."
"Nice to meet you, Yumi." After class Yumi and Bill walk out together because they decided to hang around that afternoon. The rest of the gang sees this while outside waiting for Yumi to come out of class. Odd says to Ulrich.
"Look Yumi's got a new boyfriend."
"What?" Ulrich sees Bill with Yumi. "Who is that guy I've never seen him before?" \
"I think he's the new kid in Yumi's class."
"Oh really, Jeremie I think I'm going to like this guy."
"Well Odd, I don't."
"You don't like him because he's with Yumi right now, but once you get to know him you will like him, too."
"Hey guys, this is Bill a new friend of mine."
"Hi, Bill I'm Odd nice to meet you."
"That's an interesting name, but nice to meet you."
"Jeremie's the one with the glasses. Aelita's the one with the pink hair and Ulrich is the one with the jacket on. Everyone Bill and I are going to hang out together this afternoon, so I won't be around."
"Wait, just because he is new here you are just going to hang around with him."
"Yeah, of course Ulrich."
"Hey, buddy whatever your name is. Do you got sparing gear?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?"
"Meet me in an hour in the gym. Be ready. You think your going to take my girl on your first day here. I don't think so."
"Ulrich, I'm not your girl and I never was your girl. Bill, you don't have to take this from him. Let's go."
"Wait Yumi, this could be fun."
One hour later, the group has entered the gym and Ulrich and Bill are just about ready. "Please Ulrich, stop this. If you don't I'll hate you forever."
"I don't care I'm going to show this punk who's better." Jeremie, Odd and Aelita are sitting in the bleachers watching.
"I think Ulrich has this one guys."
"I don't know Odd, Bill looks pretty tough considering he is older," says a worried Aelita. "I wonder what he would look like on Lyoko."
"Oh no, Odd he is definitely not going to Lyoko, especially after what happened with William."
"You ready Ulrich?"
"More than I'll ever be. Now move out of the way Yumi."
"Fine, but don't hurt him Ulrich."
"Alright let's go." They both get in fighting positions. Ulrich attacks first with a spin kick, but is caught and kicked in his back, thus being knocked down. Ulrich gets back up and goes for a punch, but again Bill catches this and punches him in the gut, making Ulrich fall down in pain.
"That's enough Ulrich. Now if you had of listened to me before this, I could of saved you the embarrassment of getting beat by me here. Look kid, I'm not taking your girl because I already have one, she just doesn't go here."
"What? No you lie."
"Guys, we have a problem. We have to go."
"I'll finish this with you later Bill."
"Ulrich, there is nothing to finish. It's done and it's over." Yumi helps up Ulrich and the rest of the gang head to the factory.
"I wonder where they are going?" Bill waits for the ghost to clear and follows the gang to their sewer entrance and hides in the bushes. They get to the factory. Go down the elevator, drop Jeremie off in the Control room and head down to the scanner room. Bill sees the factory, but decides to not to go in.
"Alright I'm sending you guys to the forest sector." Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer, Yumi. Scanner, Odd. Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Yumi. Virtualization." They reach Lyoko.
"Where's the princess, Jeremie? I'm sending her now. Transfer, Aelita. Scanner, Aelita. Virtualization." She appears.
"Look out everyone William's there."
"At least he decided to play with us this time."
"Very funny, Odd."
"It's funny, but not as funny as when Bill just beat you up."
"Shut up, Odd."
"Both of you quiet and stay on task. You are there to deactivate the tower not fight with each other."
"Ulrich, when we get back we need to talk."
"Fine, Yumi."
"William, how nice to see you again." Ulrich pulls out his twin sabers and gets ready to fight.
"Attack! Yells William." Hornets, Creepers and Krankrelats attack the group.
"Hai! Yumi's fans hit all the Hornets."
"Laser Arrow!" Odd hits all the Creepers and Krankrelats . Ulrich blocks an attack from William's sword.
"Aelita, hurry while everyone is busy and deactivate the tower."
"Right, Jeremie." Aelita runs into the tower.
"Is that the best you got William?"
"You will die!" William attacks devirtualizing Ulrich sending him back to earth.
"Ulrich! Hai!" Yumi's fan is thrown and knocks William into the digital sea. Tower Deactivated.
Back at the factory after everyone gets back.
"Ulrich we need to talk, let's go back to the school."
"Ok, Yumi." Ulrich and Yumi leave.
"I'm going to go hang out with Bill. Call if there's trouble."
"Right, Odd."
Bill is in his dorm room. "I can understand why Ulrich acted like that. I would to if my girlfriend was hanging around with another guy after school."
Knock, knock. "Come in."
"Hey, Bill. Do you want to hang out?"
"Sure, Odd." Odd and Bill go to Odd and Ulrich's room.
"Don't worry about Ulrich, he was like that with William, too."
"William, I don't think I've met a William here?"
"He kind of disappeared and we don't know where he is."
"How can someone just disappear?"
"I don't know."
"Ulrich, when are you going to get it through your head that I'm not your girl, unless you want me to be."
"I just don't like the fact that you got along with him so much and on his first day and you don't even see that he was flirting with you."
"He was not Ulrich and even if he was you heard him. He said he already has a girlfriend. So go apologize to him because after what he did to you we may need him to fight William."
"Oh no, you won't be seeing me on Lyoko then."
"Why not?"
"I'm not working with him."
"Come on, Ulrich. I'll make him embarrass you in front of me again." Ulrich's face turns red.
William materializes on Earth in his Lyoko form. "Now to find them."
Jeremie sees that a tower has been activated on Lyoko. "Aelita, I'm calling Odd to help." Odd's phone rings. "Hello, Einstein. I'll be right there." "Sorry, Bill I have to go right now."
"Wait, Odd. I'm coming to that factory with you."
"How do you know about the factory?"
"I'm sorry, but I followed you guys there last time you went."
"Ok, you can come." Both run out of the room.
Ulrich and Yumi are still talking when suddenly they hear a noise. "Who's there?" William walks into the room. "William! How did he get here in his Lyoko form?"
A door opens into the Control room. Jeremie looks and sees Odd and Bill. "What is he doing here, Odd?"
"He wanted to help, so I brought him here."
"Ok, I'll quickly brief Bill on what's going on."
"I was way ahead of you, Einstein."
"Just Bill, whatever you do, don't jump into the digital sea."
"Right, Jeremie." Aelita gets on. "Elevator going down." They head to the scanner room. "Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Aelita. Transfer, Bill. Scanner, Odd. Scanner, Aelita. Scanner, Bill. Virtualization."
"Yumi, we can't fight him here. We have to hide. They run and hide with William right on their tail.
"We need to call Jeremie." Ulrich dials Jeremie's number. "We need help. William has materialized in his Lyoko form."
"Don't worry Odd and Aelita are handling it."
"Odd can't protect her on his own."
"He's not alone he has Bill with him."
"What?" William hears this and attacks destroying Ulrich's phone. Ulrich and Yumi run outside the school.
"Ok, Bill ready to fight some Xana?"
"Of course. Just one thing what's my weapon."
"Here you go." A sword appears in his hand.
"Just aim straight for the eye." Hornets show up, along with some Boxes.
"You just got to love Boxes."
"Hurry up, guys Yumi and Ulrich are being attacked by William in his Lyoko form." "Right."
"Ok." Odd and Bill split up one taking the Hornets and the other taking the Boxes. Bill slices into some Boxes and gets shot by the last one.
"Watch out, Bill. That's Fifty life points." Bill takes out the last Box, but gets shot by a Hornet. Getting devirtualized. Bill comes out of the scanner.
"I guess if I can't help them, I'll go help Ulrich and Yumi." Bill gets in the elevator to leave.
"I guess I have to do this myself, Einstein."
"Hurry, Odd."
"Laser Arrow!" Odd starts firing at the remaining Hornets.
Yumi and Ulrich, who are still running from William, trip and fall down. William catches up to them.
"Now you will die!" William starts laughing. He brings his sword up ready to swing.
"Ok, one final shot. I have to make this one good. Laser Arrow!" Odd hit's the Hornet right in the eye. "Go ahead Aelita." Aelita runs into the tower.
William starts to swing his sword down at Ulrich and Yumi.
"No!" Bill jumps in front of William's sword and gets stabbed right in the chest.
"Tower Deactivated." The screens fall down around Aelita.
"Return to the Past Now!" A white bubble engulfs everyone.
Everyone including Bill is at the factory. "Good work guys."
"Good work. I should be dead I got stabbed by William's sword."
"Are you ok, Bill." Asked Yumi.
"I'll be fine, but I'm done doing this stuff again. I'm leaving." Bill walks out.
"Don't leave Bill." Yumi and Ulrich chase after him and finally catch up to him outside the factory
"Don't go, Bill."
"Why shouldn't I Ulrich? First off you don't like me, secondly I don't think I could put up with this Xana stuff anyway."
"Well I at least have to say I'm sorry for acting rude towards you."
"It's ok Ulrich, I understand perfectly. See you, guys around."
"Thanks for saving us Bill."
"No problem." Bill walks away from them. Ulrich gives chase by himself.
"Bill, I just have one question."
"Yeah. If you have a girlfriend why would you risk your life to save me and Yumi from death?"
"Ulrich, it's because I want you to have a better life than I have had."
"What do you mean?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Bill walks away.
The next update will explain more in depth about the hospital scene but not reveal all of it because it is a major part of the story.
