Hello everyone, new readers and old! Today comes the sequel of 'Story of My Unfortunate Life". So if you want to have a better understanding of this story, go read it first then read this story. This story and the prequel assumes that the Lyoko Warriors are in a lycée (Basically high-school, for all my American readers.) equivalent version of Kadic, with all the Warriors aged 16 excluding Yumi and William, who are 17. Another assumption made for the stories is that the Skidbladnir hasn't been invented yet.

Side note: If you feel uncomfortable about my previous story being rated M, then have no fear! The only content which makes it that rating is the second section of chapter seven and the last section of chapter nine, which you can comfortably skip as neither have any crucial plot information.

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko in any way. I only own Sero.

July 9th

It's been nearly two months since the return to the past was tampered by XANA and I have to say; I wish we had less problems on our hands. Since the school year ended, Ulrich and Odd had to go to Germany and Italy while Yumi is on a family vacation somewhere in Japan. So for the entire Summer break, the only Warriors available are Aelita, Jeremie, Me, and William. At least by now I've gotten used to my mild Tunnel Vision, but my friends and fellow peers still find it slightly unnerving that I need to look directly at them to see them due to my irises being unable to move, a side-effect of my case of Tunnel Vision.

On the 2nd of July, Ulrich got a nasty cut on his hand from a XANA attack. I had an idea pop in my head which made me convince Jeremie to return to the past, which he did. When time rewound itself, the cut was fully healed save for a scarred marking of where the controlled carpentry machines (Don't ask.) cut Ulrich. This gave us some relief since we can rely on it healing minor wounds, but we didn't feel brave enough to try it on more serious injuries like broken/fractured bones or mortal wounds.

According to Jeremie, the 'Grave' Sector (As Odd calls it.) can only exist when there is a Tower present. We found this out first-hand when we tried to investigate the Sector, the obstacle stopping us was that its information tunnel was nonexistent. This supposedly has to do with the Sector itself being a living program which only appears when XANA needs it. With no straightforward way to learn more about the Sector, Jeremie and Aelita decided it was best to learn the most when XANA needs the Sector to torment us. The Sector hasn't appeared since Odd's little episode in May, which could be seen as good thing. Jeremie had an idea about making a vehicle for going into the Digital Sea to find something that can help fix the return to the past. Going into the sea sounds awesome as long as we don't get scattered into data forever.

Well I'll sign off for now I guess, I hear Jim doing his nightly checks to make sure that everyone is asleep, I wish XANA can just take a break every once in a while...

August 30th

I've found myself writing into this old journal of mine less and less. Maybe I was right about one of my earlier entries about my journal being used as an emotional thunder-rod. I guess having friends who care about me help with emotions. Now what made me grab my journal for writing again? Oh right, a rather special XANA attack two days ago. Instead of XANA attacking the school or its guarding warriors, XANA went after Yumi in Japan. She wouldn't tell us what the attack was exactly, but she said that it was enough for her to convince her parents that France was a better place for Hiroki (Met him a couple of times at school during lunch, cool kid.) and her to spend the rest of Summer.

The two siblings got here around dinner time today with their luggage, and since Yumi isn't old enough to look after Hiroki on her own, Mr. Delmas decided to have him bunk with me until his parents are back from vacation. I'm not sure if Yumi has her own temporary room or if she is bunked with someone else, I'll try to ask her later. Despite what Ulrich and the others said about Hiroki before, he was okay with sharing a room with me and he didn't mess around with me even though I'm barely a few inches taller than him. The more I think about it, the more Hiroki and Yumi act like opposites; Hiroki likes to live for the moment, Yumi stays calm and formal, he hates school, and she likes to learn.

And an unusual thing happened today. After a seemingly peaceful XANA attack was taken care of, the tunnel to the Grave Sector appeared but the part that confused us was that there was a single tower without any red or white fog. Aelita tried entering the tower only for it to remain solid, denying her access. Jeremie was unable to find any reason the tower had no fog nor it not allowing anyone inside it. We decided to look more into this tomorrow since Odd and Ulrich will be back by then.

Hiroki is now yelling at me to go to bed, guess I should be sleeping since my alarm clock is almost at 11:00 PM. I wonder if we will get another XANA attack in the next day or so, I'm already bored with these small XANA attacks. Signing off now...

August 31st

Today went by with another XANA attack, but this one left the group (Including me.) slightly disturbed. Ulrich and Odd got here between breakfast and lunch, both of them grew an inch or so during the break while Odd had to leave Kiwi at home in Italy due to his parents not approving of him taking the family pet. Odd was moody about it while Ulrich was happy that he didn't have to worry about 'surprises' on his bed anymore. Sorry I'm rambling on again, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, the XANA attack.

The attack started out relatively normal but changed into something else. When the Superscan went off during lunch, William and Yumi volunteered to stay behind to help protect the school. When me and the others neared the manhole, the sky started to darken as if a thunderstorm was about to start, motivating us to hurry to the Factory. Once we reached the Supercomputer, I tried calling William and Yumi only for the connection to go dead. Lyoko-wise, deactivating the Forest Tower was barely difficult to do.

Once the Tower got deactivated, Yumi called Jeremie on his phone. She told the group that XANA's freak weather change caused some students (None of the group knew the teenagers.) to get injured, but with the upside that none were permanently harmed for life. What made the next part difficult was what to do: Return to the past and leave the unlucky students with unexplainable scars, or to not use the program and let them continue on life, letting them think they were just at the wrong time and place? In the end, we chose to not use the program for peace of mind.

Since Aelita and I were still on Lyoko, we made our side-trip to the Grave Sector only to see the same thing; a lone, fog-less, tower which denied all access. After that, the others chose to return to the school the long way through the boiler room while I took the path through the forest for some fresh air. Before I took my path, Yumi came up to me. She wanted me to make sure that Hiroki could handle living at a boarding school than at home since their parents wanted him to try dorm living for a while. I simply told her that I would try my best, which helped reassure her.

Interesting side-note; When I exited the park, Hiroki noticed me and came up to me, asking what I was doing in the park. I came up with a quick lie, saying that I took cover by one of the larger trees when the storm was happening. After that, he noted the sudden and short nature of the storm, which I feigned confusion about also. I hope he doesn't try to get out more information from later XANA attacks. Nonetheless he could make a very interesting addition to the group, assuming the others don't reject the idea.

I guess I should stop writing now, but there's one more thing I can't take my mind off; My relationship with Jeremie. Even with the now-over Summer absence of Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi, we haven't even been on any kind of date or have done anything since that one April night. I should try to bring up the subject eventually. Oh well, I'll sign off now.

AN: And the prologue is now done! Even before the new school year starts, the Warriors have already made a tough decision with the return to the past. Can the Lyoko Warriors avoid another decision like this? Wait until the next chapter to find out!

One of the reasons why Hiroki is a chosen character for this story is that a good amount of the Code Lyoko Fanfics that I read never include him at all, so I felt like including him into this story. Him becoming a possible Lyoko Warrior however, is still up in the air.

My schedule for uploading chapters will be every 8 to 14 days or so with the specific day being random. Keep this in mind so that you don't rely on a certain day being the 'one' that I will always update on.

Review, Follow, Favorite. Do any of these if you want, and don't feel pressured if you don't want too.
