A.N.: I haven't been gettting any reviews for my Naruto story so I guess I'll put that on hold and continue my Code Lyoko story. I realize I put each episode as a separate story and I apologize. I'll do it right this time. Each episode will be a chapter. And sometimes the episodes will take up more than one chapter. This Code Lyoko takes place after the movie (see Code Lyoko: The Virals The Movie: The Dark Destroyer) and Cameron has now disapeared along with D.A.R.K., the toughest enemy the trusty Lyoko warriors have had to face so far. Some of the chapters may be crossovers like a few episodes of the prequel were a crossover with Megaman NT Warrior. Now enough blabbing! On to the story! Oh! And when I(or any of the characters) mention a viral, they will be mentioned in all capital letters with a period between each letter just like I've always done in the past.
Disclaimer: I will only say this once and this goes for every chapter, I do not own Code Lyoko or its characters, but I do claim rights to the States warriors(Phillip Launie, and the MIA Cameron), and by that I mean I claim those characters, not the name 'the States warriors'.
Code Lyoko: The Virals, 2nd Saga
Episode 1: The New Beginning
The Lyoko warriors of light are in the lunchroom at Kadic. Everyone is still awestruck about what happened at sector ten between Cameron and D.A.R.K. But they have decided that moping about it wasn't going to bring Cameron back so they have moved on with their lives. "You gonna eat that?" Odd asks Ulrich, pointing to his mashed ppotatoes. Instead of answering, Ulrich just slides his tray over to Odd. "Thanks!"
"If L.I.G.H.T. undid the damage done by D.A.R.K., then why did we still have to launch a return?" Asks Ulrich.
"To erase everyone's memories," the computer nerd nicknamed einstein relpied.
"But then what kind of damage did L.I.G.H.T. undo?" Asks Ulrich.
"Not all damage can be fixed simply by returning to the past Ulrich. Certain types of damage to Lyoko can't be fixed that way," Jeremy explains. "Like the damage of turning all the towers on Lyoko into challas looking things, yeah that's one of those certains types of damage."
"You had to make a short speech about it?" Ulrich asks rhetorically.
Jeremy just gives him a breif glare and says "if I was going to make a short speech you'd know."
"Anyway, let's talk about something else," the pinkette at the table saves the group from an imminent argument. Not to mention the whole lunchroom. "Like strategy. We need to be prepared for a viral attack. Now that D.A.R.K. is gone, the other virals are bound to start attacking again."
"You know, Aelita's right, we need to be able to predict the enemies moves and launch countermeasures as quickly as possible," Yumi assists the pinkette.
"Did you guys forget already? We are as prepared as we can possibly be," Jeremy counters. The others at the table just stare at the young genius. "Hello? I didn't just make these as a fashion statement." He says the last sentence while pointing to his wristband. "We can virtualize ourselves without even going to the factory and we can change to our Lyoko forms in a nanosecond. Plus, I can teleport to the factory using the virtualization and devirtualization programs."
"Oh yeah! I gotten so use to having it on, I forgot we were even wearing these," Aelita says while looking at her own wristband. "But what if a viral finds the programs used for thses and corrupts them?"
"It's not like they haven't tried corrupting our virtualization program before," Jeremy counters again.
"You gonna eat that?" Odd asks Yumi, pointing to her food. She did as Ulrich did and just slid her tray over to him.
"And I've been busy building new firewalls to keep that from happening again. It won't entirely prevent it, but it'll delay it at the very least," Jeremy continues. "And I've been upgrading your vehicles as well."
"Our vehicles? How?" Asks Ulrich, interested.
"You'll have to wait and see," Jeremy keeps up the suspense.
"Well I hope you send all these new programs to the guys in the States, they could really use them to," says Aelita.
"Already on it. I've programmed the super-computer to send the programs when they are finished. I'm about halfway done with all of them." Jeremy says with a smirk.
"Are you gonna eat that?" Odd asks Jeremy, while pointing to his food.
Jeremy slides his tray to Odd and says "It's amazing you haven't become fat yet Odd. You must have great motabolism." (not sure of spelling)
"Yep! It's one of the perks of being me!" Odd says with a mouthful. Not understanding what Odd just said, everyone begins to laugh.
'That's the only way Odd can be funny, trying to make a joke or compliment himself with a mouthful.' Ulrich thinks to himself. Even though he didn't know what Odd said, he had an idea.
When Odd was about done with his food, he was going to ask Aelita for her food as well but a certain beeping sound from Jeremy's laptop and all their wristbands stopped him. "Aw man! Never interrupt a man while he's eating!" He complains.
"You were going to ask for my food to weren't you?" Aelita asks while Jeremy pulls out his laptop to find out the location of the tower. Odd nods. "Here." She slides her tray over to him and gets up, while Yumi and Ulrich get up. Odd continues eating.
Once Yumi, Ulrich, and Aelita are gone, Jeremy sees that there are two towers activated in the ice sector and the mountain sector. "You better not take too long. We have two virals attacking at once." Odd stopped eating and looked up at Jeremy, who was now leaving the room as well.
When Jeremy was gone, Odd says "Great! Now I've lost my apetite!" And he gets up and runs out the door, leaving his food behind.
Everyone entered their respective genders' bathroom and entered their respective codes into their wristbands. Then they each said "Viral alert! Priority one!" Then everyone but Jeremy commands "Virtualize now!" And Jeremy commands "Teleport now!" And they all disappear.
at the factory...
A scanner opens and Jeremy steps out. He walks to the elevator and heads up. Once in the computer room, he walks to his seat, puts on his earpeice, and sits down. "You guys make it alright?" Asks Jeremy.
"Yeah! We're alright!" Ulrich answers.
A.N.: In case you're wondering, the super computer randomly select one of the activated towers (if more than one) and selects random coordinates nearby and sends those coordinates to their wristbands. And they virtualize at those coordinates.
"I'm materializing your current vehicles," Jeremy notifies the team.
"Do you have to say it like that? It makes me wanna know how your upgrading even more!" Ulrich complains.
"Not now Ulrich!" Jeremy commands in a serious tone.
"By the way, where's William?" Asks Odd.
"He went on early vacation, remember?" Jeremy reminds the confused warrior, who is confused in more ways than one.
on Lyoko, during virtualization...
Four human shaped nettings appear in the sky and then slowly(but not that slowly) turn into four humans. Then they fall. Ulrich lands on his feet like a ninja would along with Yumi. Aelita lands on one knee one foot and one hand. Odd lands on all fours.
A.N.: Skip next seven lines of dialouge if you don't want to read basically the same thing over again.
"You guys make it alright?" Asks Jeremy.
"Yeah! We're alright!" Ulrich answers.
"I'm materializing your current vehicles," Jeremy notifies the team.
"Do you have to say it like that? It makes me wanna know how your upgrading even more!" Ulrich complains.
"Not now Ulrich!" Jeremy commands in a serious tone.
"By the way, where's William?" Asks Odd.
"He went on early vacation, remember?" Jeremy reminds the confused warrior, who is confused in more ways than one.
The warriors take off towards the activated tower.
"The first tower is due north," Jeremy informs the team.
"Wait first tower?" Asks Ulrich.
"Yeah, Jeremy said right before we left the lunchroom that two virals are attacking at the same time. You didn't hear because you left right before he said it," Odd said with a smirk, happy that he finally knew something before the rest of the team. (Not including Jeremy)
"The second tower is in the mountain sector," Jeremy informs them once again.
"Canine alert!" Ulrich warns Odd with a smirk. (Today must be smirk day or something)
"Hey wait a minute! Those aren't dogs! They're wolves! D.A.R.K. is back! Aaaaaah!" Odd screams as he jumps off his overboard and covers his head with his arms when he lands. This causes Aelita to almost crash into a block of ice, since both her and Odd were on the overboard and Odd was flying it. The others stop to wait n them, annoyed.
"Remind me not to ride with you again. And those aren't D.A.R.K.'s wolves, just look. They're not black. D.A.R.K.'s wolves were black," Aelita states matter of factly.
"Oh. Why didn't you say so?" Odd asks rhetorically while Aelita gets on the overwing to ride with Yumi.
"I just did," Aelita counters, knowing that the question wasn't meant to be answered. Odd shot a quick glare at her and gets back on his overboard.
They start heading towards the tower again and Odd is the first one to attack since he doesn't want to get near the nasty canines. The wolves try to shoot Odd with lasers that come out of their mouths There were six dogs total when they got there along with two Power monkeys. Now there is only five wolves because when Odd launched his initial attack, he took out one by shooting three arrows into it's X.E.R.O.X. symbol, (since the wolves are new and take three hits in their weak point to be destroyed) and hit another with two arrows but when the third one reached the second wolf it started running at the wrriors and to the left.
"Triplicate!" Ulrich shouts after dismounting the overbike. He hits the wolf running at them with oneof his sword(which he now has six because each Ulrich has two) and that same wolf was the one Odd had hit with two arrows so it was destroyed. The other two Ulrichs shout "Super-sprint!" And run at a third wolf One Ulrich hits it with both of his swords while the second Ulrich throws one of his swords at it and it's destroyed. The Ulrich that threw one of his swords throws the other at another wolf and Yumi throws both of her fans at the same wolf and it's destroyed as well.
"You guys are working as more of a team than ever before!" Jeremy's voice booms in the background.
Aelita fires three energy fields at one of the remaining two wolves and destroys it, and she fires three energy fields at the last wolf but both of the power monkeys throw their power liquid on the remaining wolf and it grows to the size of an elephant. So the first two hits it in its symbol but it grew right when the third one was about to hit so it missed the symbol.
"Woah! It's Wolf Kong!" Odd jokes horribly.
"Watch out guys! That thing is level four! All of you are level one! What's more, it'll take seven hits to destroy it! But since Aelita hit it twice already it should only take five hits!" Jeremy's voice booms louder. "Uh...I'll be right back guys, I think I've figured out at least one of the attacks."
"Okay! We'll just hit him with a team attack!" Odd suggests. Then the wolf spreads its wings. "Wait what? Since when does a wolf have wings?"
"They don't. This isn't a wolf anymore, it's level four so it's a whole new monster," Ulrich explains.
"Then what is it?" Asks Odd.
"Odd! Knock it off! We'll play the name-game later!" Ulrich yells when the new monster begins to fly towards Odd, who is still on the overboard.
"Crap!" Odd panics. "Laser arrow!" He shoots five arrows and the first arrow hits it but it blocks the rest with its left wing. "That's no fair!"
"Quick complaining and keep fighting!" Commands Yumi.
"Easy for you to say! You're not the one getting chased by a five ton flying wolf!" Odd counters.
Yumi throws her fans and it hits the monster in its symbol both times and takes the hit count to two left. Aelita and Ulrich take out the power monkeys.
"I know I'm gonna regret this!" Odd states as he turns toward the monster.
"What the heck is he doing?" Yells Ulrich.
Odd is acting like a suicide bomber! He's flying straight toward the monster that was chasing him. "Laser arrow!" He yells when he gets within two feet away. And he shoots two arrows at the monster while the monster fires its laser at him. Both Odd's laser arrows hit the monster in it symbol and the monsters laser hits Odd and he's devirtualized instanty. Note that this was incredibly hard for Odd since both him and the monster were moving at incredibly high speeds and he had to predict where the symbol would be since he knew it would fire at him.
at the factory when Jeremy said "Uh...I'll be right back guys, I think I've figured out at least one of the attacks."...
Jeremy hears the elevator coming down. He checks the security footage for inside the elevator and says "Uh...I'll be right back guys, I think I've figured out at least one of the attacks." He starts typing in some coding and the elevator stops coming down. "Great! My only option is to go Lyoko. Hey! That's not a bad phrase."
Puts his code into his wristband and says "Viral alert! Priority one! Materialize now!" Then he turns into his Lyoko form.
A.N: Note that he only locked the elevator in place so he can buy time for him to 'go Lyoko' as he said and prepare for a fight.
He waits there for a couple of minutes while the enemy tries to get into the room. Then he sees the possessed Jim come through the little opening the ladder goes up to. As Jim falls, Jeremy notices he's directly in his path. He holds his trident at the ready. At the last second he hears "Laser arrow!" And two arrows hit Jim, redirecting his path by a few feet.
Jeremy looks over and notices Odd came through the hatch leading to the super-computer below. "Odd? But how did you-?"
Odd cuts him off "I pulled a Kamikaze to take out the monster, when I arrived in the scanner I remembered you said something about figuring out the attack so I went Lyoko and climbed down the ladder to the super-computer since somebody locked the ladder hatch, and climbed up the wall using my cat-like abilities to get up here."
"You stole my new phrase," Jeremy accuses Odd.
"What phrase?" He asks confused.
"Go Lyoko. Only you said it in past tense," Jeremy explains.
"Well I'm the funny one so I use that phrase," Odd claims rights to the phrase.
"Well is your funny, then I'd hate to see what not funny is," Jeremy disses Odd.
"Haha. That was so funny I forgot to laugh!" Odd yells.
"You did laugh," Jeremy counters.
Odd, steaming now, "Listen up einstein! If you think for one second I-" He stops and Jeremy follows his gaze. They see Jim with a confused look on his face and popcorn in his left hand, and his right hand in the popcorn.
"Why stop now? It was getting good," Jim asks.
Then Jeremy and Odd both get an idea in their heads. And they smile evilly. Then they go back to argueing. Little did they know, another guest was on their way.
on Lyoko...
"Aelita! Get to the tower already!" Yells Ulrich, who is fighting off enemy reinforcements.
"I can't! We're surrounded!" She yells in and irritated tone. Ulrich turns around to see that Aelita was right. They were surrounded by enemy monsters.
"Great! Now what?" Ulrich asks rhetorically.
All of a sudden, the mosters on the side furthest from the tower, the monsters are all destroyed one after the other, but it wasn't Yumi, Ulrich, or Aelita and it certainly wasn't Jeremy, William, or Odd.
"Have no fear! The cavalry is here!" Says a newcomer.
"Phillip! Launie! What took you?" Ulrich asks as he turns around to fight off the other monsters.
"Well we got the wrong tower. We went to the mountain sector and waited about ten minutes and no monster arrived except three wolves so we took them out and since you still hadn't come we decided to go the other tower and here we are." He explains while starting to help out with the rest of the monsters. "By the way...where's Odd and William?"
"William took an early vacation and Odd already got devirtualized," Yumi explained.
"Well Mike has his hands full with our possessed gym teacher so he couldn't come. He should've, he the strongest one of us all but he insisted we go instead," says Launie.
"Well Jeremy left the computer so we think he has his hands full too," says Yumi.
"Well how bout we get you to that tower," Phillip says to Aelita.
at the factory two minutes after the last factory scene...
"Did you hear that?" Asks Odd.
"What? are you hearing things now?" Jeremy yells while trying to keep it up, thinking Odd is running out of ideas so he's resorting to going crazy. Although that is not the case, Odd is not going crazy.(or at least not pretending cuz he went crazy a long time ago)
"No seriously! I heard something!" Yells Odd.
"Yeah, you heard the voice in your head telling you your going nuts!" Yells Jeremy.
"That's It!" Odd Yells. Then he tackles Jeremy.
"Aren't you taking this a bit too far?" Jeremy whispers as they roll over, Odd pretending to choke him.
"I needed to get close to you so I could tell you that I really heard something coming from the opening Jim came through," Odd whispers back.
"I thougt you were pretending to go crazy cuz you were running out of material," whispers Jeremy.
"Me? Run out of material? Yeah right!" Odd yells that one. But Jim didn't suspect a thing. The two teens look over to see that Jim was at his third box of popcorn and had some soda now.
"Where is he getting those?" Asks Jeremy.
"Just go with it. It's better not to ask. Then another possessed person came through the opening. This one was military personel from a nearby
base. "Looks like X.A.N.A. is really stepping up his game." Odd says when he notices X.A.N.A.'s symbol in his eyes and a machine gun in his hands.
back on Lyoko...
"That's the last of them," says Phillip. "Now get in that tower save save either Mike or Jeremy and/or Odd."
Aelita runs into the tower.
back at the factory, thirty seconds later...
Jeremy holds a shield to protect the computer equipment while Odd keeps dodging bullets(and WAS dodging electricity). Jeremy looks over at Jim and sees that he's unconscience. "Looks like they deactivated the first tower," Jeremy says in a happy tone.
once again back on Lyoko...
"Well I hope that since Jeremy isn't back at the computer yet that it means that the tower we deactivated was the one controlling the possessed gym teacher in the States that was after Mike," says Aelita. "Because if it wasn't, and it was the one attacking the factory, then that means that something must have happened to Jeremy and Odd during the attack."
"In any case, let's get going to the next tower," Ulrich suggests.
"Right!" Everyone else agrees. Then they enter a tower and head to the mountain sector.
Once there, they immediately run into the welcome party. They walk out of the tower to find monsters shooting at them. "Did you guys by any chance use this tower to get to the ice sector?" Asks Ulrich.
"Yeah," Phillip answers.
"And you were followed by monsters?" Ulrich continues.
"More like chased," Launie corrects Ulrich.
"Well that's just perfect," Ulrich complains. "Triplicate!" He splits into three Ulrichs. "Triangulate!" Each one surrounds a monster with more Ulrichs in a triangle.
Ulrich takes out each monster he surrounded which was half of them. Note that these are wolves.(Which seems to be a viral favorite now)
Phillip shoots one, while Yumi and Aelita destroy another. Launie destroys the last two just by jumping on them and stabbing them both in the symbol three times each. "Now that that inconvenience is out of the way, shall we continue?" Asks Phillip.
"I'd say it was more than an inconvenience," Ulrich mumbles. Phillip and Launie just give him breif glares since they know Ulrich blames the 'inconvenience' on them.
Then they continue towards the tower. Once in the vicinity, they hide behind a rock and scout the area. "No monsters yet. X.A.X. and X.E.R.O.X. really are trying hard to protect these towers so I wouldn't doubt it being a trap." States Yumi.
A.N.: Notice something? Cuz if you didn't there's either something wrong with you or you aren't reading closely enough. I'll just tell you what it is if you don't know to keep up the dramatic irony.(dramatic irony is when the reader/spectator knows something one or more characters don't know, in case you guys never learned dramatic irony in school which you should have if your in high school or college or even out of school.) The thing you should've noticed is that Jeremy only located two towers activated by two virals. And Yumi just clearly stated that X.A.X. and X.E.R.O.X. are the ones protecting each of the towers so they are the ones that activated the towers. But remember the last two scenes in the factory? There were two possessed people there. And remember that Phillip and Launie said that Mike was dealing with a possessed gym teacher back in the States. Also, in the second to last scene in the factory, it was very, VERY clear that one of the people was possessed by X.A.N.A. He's up to his old tricks again and this time is using the other virals to do it. Anyway, back to the story.
Aelita makes a fake Aelita and makes her walk towards the tower while the others watch. When the fake Aelita got close to the tower, about ten laser shot at her from different directions. "Found them," states Phillip, even though he never saw the monsters. He only saw where the lasers originated. He aims at each one and pulls a dead eye, take out each one in two seconds. When he hit each one, the monsters became visible just before being destroyed. "Camo monsters. A new upgrade the virals have given some of their pets. Now some monsters will be able to become invisible while others can't. We figured this out on our way to the ice sector. We were ambushed by a group of three camo monsters and I lost twenty lifepoints while Launie lost ten. Luckily, when we entered the tower to go to the ice sector, after defeating the camos of course, our lifepoints were restored as you well know they would be."
"Great! Something else to complicate things," Ulrich complains for about the hundredth time today.
Aelita gets to the tower and deactivates it. When she comes out, she has a confused look on her face.
"What is it?" Asks Ulrich.
"By now Jeremy would've launched a return to the past or devirtualized us, or at least talked to us," she replies.
"Okay How about one of us goes back and checks things out and the rest stay here just in case," suggests Ulrich.
"Since you can triplicate yourself Ulrich, I'll go," Yumi volunteers.
"You sure?" He asks.
"Yes," she confirms.
"Okay," she says. Then in the blonk of an eye, he devirtualizes her with one slice.
back at the factory...
"I really wish they'd hurry up," Odd complains.
"Yeah, same here," Jeremy agrees.
The elevator door starts to open.
"I guess the lock on the elevator wore off," Jeremy said.
When the elevator opens, they find that Yumi is the visitor.
"What the-?" She begins, shocked and confused all the same.
"Why you so shocked? Did you guys deactivate the tower?" Asks Jeremy. Yumi nods.
"Then there must be another activated tower somewhere," Jeremy says annoyed with all the insanity going on today. Yumi then rushes over to the computer.
"Uh guys. Slight problem," Yumi starts.
"More like HUGE problem! We're being shot at by a xanafied military dude!" Odd practically screams into Yumi's ear when he reaches her, still dodging bullets.
"What?" Everyone begins, shocked.
"There must be another activated tower, I'm running a super-scan now," she says.
"Wait a minute. If you deactivated the towers, then what was the other attack?" Asks Jeremy.
"A gym teacher in the States was possessed by X.A.X. and Mike stayed behind to deal with him.
"Ah I see," Jeremy says.
"Found it! It's in the city sector! Deep within the urban area!" Yumi says with great pleasure.
"Got it!" Everyone confirms that they heard it.
back on Lyoko, about two minutes later, in the city sector...
"The urban area is due east!" Aelita directs the group.
"You know, this is the most complex sector on Lyoko. So many buildings and trees in the park, and other stuff. And yet it's so empty," Phillip says.
"Well that's because my dad made this sector in case the super-computer was made into a public thing. That way some people could live on Lyoko," Aelita explains. "He made a program in which he could copy a sector and send it to other super-computers to make more living area. But there would have to be other super-computers in existence."
"You think you guys could send us a copy of this sector?" Asks Launie.
"And give X.A.N.A. more towers to use for an attack? Yeah right!" Says Aelita.
"Dang it," Launie complains. "Then can you at least send us the simulation bubble program?"
"Maybe. If you behave," Aelita smirks at him. (Still smirk day) They reach the urban area. "Now where Yumi?" Asks Aelita.
"It should be in the park," Yumi replies.
They run to the park and see the tower. "God I hope there's no camos in there. They'd have the advantage," says Ulrich.
"I just hope you didn't just jinx us," Launie says, irritated with all the complaining. 'Since when was Ulrich such a complainer?'
They head into the forest and stop when they spot the tower, towering over the trees just a few hundred feet away.
Aelita makes a fake Aelita again and sends her in. But to their surprise, nothing happened. She made it all the way to the tower.
"I guess X.A.N.A. knows he's beat," Ulrich says with hope in his voice.
They start to run towards the tower. Not a second after they start running, they are fired at. "What the-?" Launie begins.
"They knew it was a fake! They knew it was a fake Aelita and they were watching the direction she came from!" Yells Phillip.
"But how? It's never failed before!" Aelita is extremely confused. "Wait a minute! That's it!"
"What's it?" Asks Phillip.
"That's exactly why it didn't work! It never failed before! X.A.N.A. fell for it so many times, he must've made a program that allows his monsters to tell the difference between a fake and the real me! He's got all the advantages now!" She yells.
The warriors are surrounded with camos. "You know, now I'm pretty sure you really DID jinx us," Launie says, glaring at Ulrich.
The warriors deflect attack after attack and the monsters keep moving closer. "Now what?" Ulrich panics.
"Light wave!" A voice booms from somewhere in the opposite direction of the tower and a wave comes from that same direction and wipes out the monsters.
"Mike!" Phillip and Launie are the first to see the newcomer.
"Hey guys! Miss me?" Mike says while walking towards the warriors.
"It's about time you showed up," says Phillip.
"Why didn't you guys just go light?" Asks Mike.
"I forgot we had light forms," says Aelita. "I guess we're not used to having them."
"Well go light next time. It might be a little easier," suggests Mike.
Aelita then runs to the tower and deactivates it. A white light is generated from the super-computer and a return to the past is launched.(the light is generated because of the return, as you should know)
"You gonna eat that?" Odd asks Aelita, pointing to her food. The warriors were back in the lunchroom. Aelita slides her tray over to Odd.
"Well now that the virals have new pets and X.A.N.A. won't fall for fake Aelita anymore, we're at a disadvantage," says Aelita.
"Technically they don't have new pets, their pets just have new powers," Jeremy corrects the pinkette.
"You know what I mean," Aelita counters the correction.
"Anyway, we'll make it through, we always have, and plus we made it through once with their new tricks, why wouldn't we be able to make it through again?" Jeremy asks rhetorically.
"Well at any rate, we have to be prepared. Maybe our light forms have abilities we haven't discovered yet," suggests Yumi.
"Even if they don't, you should still use them when you're pinned, they're more powerful than your regular forms," says Jeremy.
"Yeah but I agree with Yumi. Maybe they do have hidden abilities," Ulrich confers.
"Well I never said anything about hidden. We just haven't figured out how to use them," Yumi says with a smile.
