Code Lyoko: New Youth

Chapter 1: The Fall of XANA

The Lyoko Warriors have finally done it. They had finally put an end to XANA's destruction and shut down the supercomputer. Everyone felt like a great weight had been lifted off of their shoulders knowing now that they wouldn't have to worry about XANA and his attacks ever again. Jeremy had finally been able to create a multi-agent program to destroy XANA for good, but it came with a price. The program needed more power in order for it to work properly and Franz Hopper, Aelita's father, sacrificed himself and gave Jeremy enough power to run the program and ultimately destroy XANA. Everyone was happy and relieved, that is until Aelita stepped out of the scanner. She fell into Jeremy's arms and just cried. Odd, Ulrich, William, and Yumi knew why, and they couldn't help but cry to.

Jeremy: Can I get a moment alone with Aelita please?

Odd: Sure thing Einstein.

Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and William walked into the elevator, ascended to the top floor, and waited on the bridge outside of the factory, while Jeremy just held Aelita close while she cried on his chest. After she had cried all of her tears out, she finally looked up at Jeremy and spoke.

Aelita: I know I should be happy knowing that XANA is gone, but I also know that I'll never see my father again.

Jeremy: Aelita, I know that you must be feeling so much hurt inside of you, but you must remember, your father sacrificed himself in order to stop XANA, the very program that he created when he first made Lyoko.

Aelita: I know but why?

Aelita was close to crying again. Jeremy continued to comfort her.

Jeremy: Because he did it for you. He wanted you to continue to live a normal life without having to worry about XANA. And now that he's gone, you can live that normal life and I promise you that I'll always be there for you, no matter what.

Aelita looked up at Jeremy. Her eyes were a blood red from all the crying she had done. In here mind, she so badly wanted to see her father again, but in her heart, she knew that Jeremy was right. Her father would want her to live a normal life after being locked up in Lyoko for 10 years. She gave a small smile at Jeremy and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Aelita: Promise you'll always be there?

Jeremy: Always.

Aelita wrapped her arms around Jeremy and gave him a tight hug. She was happy that she could finally live a normal life and that Jeremy and his friends would be right there by her side. She loosened her grip on Jeremy as he spoke.

Jeremy: Come on Aelita, let's get back to the dorms. We'll shut down the supercomputer right after classes tomorrow, and then you'll finally be free of XANA.

Aelita: Ok Jeremy.

Jeremy stood up and helped Aelita to her feet. They walked towards the elevator together with Aelita clinging to Jeremy's arm not wanting to let go. Jeremy looked at Aelita and smiled as he pushed the elevator button and ascended to the top floor. Yumi, Odd, William, and Ulrich were waiting for them when they walked out of the elevator.

Yumi: So…is everything alright now?

Aelita: Yes, everything's okay now.

Jeremy: Aelita just needed a little comforting is all.

Ulrich: That's good to hear. So, does this mean that we can finally shut down the supercomputer?

Jeremy: That's right Ulrich. Tomorrow after classes are all over, we'll head down to the factory and shut down Lyoko.

Odd: I can't believe that it's all coming to an end. Not that I'm upset or anything, but just everything that we've been through together on Lyoko, it's gonna be weird not having it around anymore.

Aelita: It will take some time for all of us to get used to not having XANA attacking all the time and us having to go to Lyoko to stop him, but we'll get through it, and we'll do it together.

Aelita stretched her arm out and Jeremy placed his hand on top of hers. Followed by Yumi, then Ulrich, then Odd, and finally William completing the circle.

William: Lyoko on 3 guys. 1…2…3…

All: LYOKO!

The gang walked across the bridge and headed back to the dorms. They said good-bye to Yumi as she walked in her house along the way. William, Odd, and Ulrich went to their respected dorms while Jeremy walked Aelita to her room.

Aelita: Jeremy, I just want to say thank you for everything that you've done for me. Bringing me here to Earth and helping learn how to live a normal life. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be standing here right now.

Jeremy: You're welcome Aelita. There's something that I've been wanting to tell you.

Aelita perked up and started to blush a little.

Aelita: R..really? What is it?

Jeremy was nervous, but he gathered up all his courage.

Jeremy: W..well…yo…you see…well…i..uh

Jim: BELPOIS!

Jeremy: (to himself) Of all the times he has to show his face, why does it have to be now?

Jim: What are you doing here in the girl dorms?

Jeremy: I wasn't doing anything wrong Jim I swear. I was just talking to Aelita. That's all.

Jim: Hmm…well you're gonna have to finish your conversation another time. It's nearly curfew and you should be in your room by now.

Jeremy quickly looked at his watch and gasped. He didn't realized how late it was.

Jeremy: Oh no, I didn't know what time it was. Sorry Jim, I didn't mean to. I'll head to my room right now.

Jim: Just don't let me catch you doing it again. Understood?

Jeremy: Understood Jim.

He quickly went to his room to avoid getting himself and Aelita into trouble. Aelita was upset that Jim had to ruin the moment but she didn't let it get to her, as she went into her room and closed the door behind her. She changed into her pajamas and was getting ready to go to bed when her phone vibrated. She looked at her phone and saw that it was a text for Jeremy.

Jeremy: Sorry about that. I'll tell you tomorrow after we shut down the supercomputer okay?

Aelita: Okay Jeremy. Goodnight and thank you.

Jeremy: Goodnight Aelita.

The Next Day

The sun shone on a beautiful Friday morning. Jeremy's alarm went off loudly as he reached over to turn it off. He put his glasses on and got himself ready for the day. Meanwhile in the lunchroom, Aelita was telling Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and William about her and Jeremy's close encounter with Jim last night. Although Odd wasn't paying much attention as he was too busy stuffing himself with his breakfast.

Aelita: Of all the times that Jim had to show up, why did it have to be then?

Ulrich: Well you know Jim, he can just pop out of nowhere sometimes.

William: I wouldn't worry about too much Aelita. It could have been worse.

Aelita: Yeah, I guess.

Odd: Speaking of Einstein, where is he anyway.

As if on cue, Jeremy arrived at the table.

Jeremy: Hey guys, what did I miss?

Yumi: Not much. Just Aelita telling us about what almost happened with Jim.

Jeremy: He just had to come at the wrong moment. Anyway, so are you guys ready to finally shut down the supercomputer for good?

All: You know it!

Jeremy: Ok then, meet me at the factory by 4.

Just then, the school bell rang signaling that classes have begun.

4:00 PM: Supercomputer Room

Jeremy: Well here we go.

Jeremy pushed the button that revealed the power switch to the supercomputer.

Jeremy: You lost this time XANA, so good-bye and good riddance.

He pulled the lever down and the supercomputer started to power down. Slowly the power began to drain until there was nothing but silence. The supercomputer slowly sunk into the floor until the floor doors closed sealing it for good. The war between the warriors and XANA was finally over. Yumi, Odd, Ulrich, and William went to the elevator while Jeremy and Aelita stayed a little longer.

William: Hey, are you guys coming?

Jeremy: Just go ahead without us. We'll catch up to you later.

William: Ok then.

William pushed the button and the elevator doors closed, leaving the two young genius alone.

Aelita: So what did you want to tell me Jeremy?

Jeremy grew nervous but gathered up courage.

Jeremy: Ever since I turned on the supercomputer and saw you, I knew that you were special. And as we got to know each other through the countless days and nights that we've talked, I felt something that I've never felt before in my life. It was love.

Aelita was blushing like mad and smiled the biggest smile ever.

Jeremy: Aelita, I love you and I will always be with you no matter what happens.

Aelita: Oh Jeremy, you have no idea how I've waited to hear you say that. I love you to.

Aelita pounced on Jeremy and wrapped her arms around him. Jeremy gladly returned the embraced very happy to hear that the love of his life loved him back. Aelita, loosened her grip on Jeremy and stared into his loving eyes. Then, she placed her hands on his cheeks and pulled him in until her lips met his. Jeremy was left dumbfounded but after and few seconds, he returned the kiss. The moment was magical for the two lovebirds. They didn't want the moment to end. But unfortunately it did, when Aelita's cell phone rang. She groaned as she answered it. It was Yumi.

Yumi: You guys almost done down there? We're waiting for you.

Aelita: Sorry Yumi. We'll be right up.

She hung up her phone and looked back at Jeremy.

Aelita: We should probably go and meet up with our friends.

Jeremy: Yeah you're right. Come on, let's get out of here for the last time.

Jeremy and Aelita walked back to the elevator hand in hand as the elevator doors closed. When they reached the bridge, they found the rest of the gang waiting for them.

Ulrich: What in the world took you two so long? We've been waiting for you for a good 15 minutes.

Ulrich then noticed that Jeremy and Aelita's hand were together.

Ulrich: Wait a minute…Jeremy and Aelita wanting to be alone…them taking too long…come back holding hands…you two are a couple now aren't you!

Jeremy: Nice of you to notice Ulrich.

Everyone laughed and Aelita gave Jeremy a kiss on the cheek.

Odd: Hey Ulrich, you and Yumi have a little catching up to do!

Odd fell to the floor laughing like an idiot while Yumi and Ulrich blushed and gave him death glares. After they had all settled down, they made their way back to Kadic, all relieved that they wouldn't have to worry about XANA ever again.
