Chapter 1 - Xana 2.0
A/N So this is basically CLE however with my OC that's been around for years now with yet another different backstory XD. The plan is to follow the plot of Evolution as much as possible with slight changes.
Chapters will be as followed format - Chapter [ episode # ] [episode name] or for side chapters or none episode chapters - Chapter [ episode before .5 or whatever depending on how many b/t eps] [ chapter name]
I need to stop procrastinating. This WILL (as i tell myself this) be the one CL fanfic i finish on my own. My past few either somebody else continued them, i felt the idea was stupid and childish or i was too lazy to finish. But i'll try my best!
The main enemy, besides Xana, Was originally called Alan Meyer during planning for season 4 and for CLE but apparently the name changed during production to Professor Tyron and the actors that play Yumi and Ulrich were asked about Alan and were clueless. So unless i hear otherwise he will be known as Tyron in the fanfic
I don't own Code Lyoko but I do own Crystalic Landers. Now on with the story!
-Kadic-
It was nothing more than a normal day. It has been a few months since the gang had shut down the Supercomputer and all seem to return to normal teenage lives for them. Jim jogged into the computer room pushing his students to their annoyance limits.
"Hurry up you worms! Come on! Use those muscles this is still a PE class here! Stern don't limp along!" Jim yelled behind him as students filed in one by one.
"I don't understand why we are going to the computer lab for Gym sir." Odd complained.
"Aha you're curious Della Robbia right? Come I'll show everyone."
Jeremy walked up groaning. Without the Supercomputer to keep him away he had to face the horros of gym yet again. " Gym with computers? With motion sensors I assume?"
Jim glared at him. " Very funny Belpois. We need to work on your motivation! We don't have students we have geeks now!"
Aelita laughed and walked over to Jeremy. " Maybe now you'll actually be able to pass Gym class now Jeremy."
Jim jogged in place while pulling out cds. " Well I found a way to make you all move using a computer, it's called cyber-sport! Come on here we go!"
-Somewhere in Japan-
The alarm next to the young girl's bed went off at 10 am France time, even though it was the middle of the night for her. Sighing she slipped out of bed and walked over to her computer before shaking her head.
"What the hell are you doing girl? Xana's dead there isn't a reason to wake up." She turned to return to bed before she noticed on the computer screen the Xana symbol flashing red. " Oh no…." It was at that moment she realized it wasn't her alarm that woke her up. It was Xana himself.
-Kadic-
"Damn no way!" Jim was fusing around with the teachers computer trying to figure out, with his non technological mind, how to somehow get the sports game to work!
Odd turned to his depressed friend while Jim was distracted. "Ulrich what's wrong? Don't tell me it's about Yumi again."
Ulrich thought for a moment. "What am I suppose to say? ' Oh Yumi I love you! You're the love of my life?' "
" Oh yeah.. Right.." Odd looked back over to Jim, who just couldn't seem to find the CD driver to place the CD in. "You need to be cooler, like 'Hey Yum , come here. I've got something to tell you!. ' I love you it's not that hard to say Ulrich buddy."
Ulrich laughed. " Great. Got anymore stupid plans Odd?"
"FOUND IT!" Jim shouted. He finally managed to find the CD drive and placed the cyber-sport CD in. Little did he suspect the electric surge flowing into the computer as it shocked him away when he attempted. The class erupted into giggle as he laid on the floor for a few seconds.
"You probably meant Cyber-war huh sir?" Odd said.
Jeremy laughed and looked over to Aelita, who had a attentive look on her face towards the computer monitor.
Jim stood up and went back over to the computer to find coding all over the screen, confused as to what was occurring. "Anyone able to tell me what in the world is going on?"
Aelita looked at her monitor just as confused as he was. "Jeremy, on the screen there was…" By the time he looked her monitor had gone black before returning to normal.
-Courtyard-
Odd and Ulrich sat at one of the benches outside in the courtyard watching Yumi not to far away, speaking to William.
" Go on tell her!" Odd urged his friend.
Ulrich shook his head. "Are you kidding? With him still there? No way."
"William is a nice guy though."
" I'd rather say nothing than listen to this."
Over with Aelita and Jeremy, Aelita was trying to convince Jeremy that she saw Xana.
" I'm telling you that is what I saw." The pinkette protested.
Jeremy looked at her. " Yes though you must admit it's impossible. We destroyed it"
" What if it survived though?"
William placed his hand on Yumi's shoulder. "I've gotta go. Catch you later?"
"Sure" She nodded and pulled out her ringing cell phone.
Ulrich stood up and grabbed his backpack with a determined face. He walked over to where Yumi was standing but stopped when William returned to compliment her new haircut. The minute he left Ulrich walked in front of her.
"Ulrich are you alright?" Yumi asked.
" Yes, er , well I needed to tell you something important." He stuttered. " See well we used to be Lyoko warriors and stuff. So… Well I can confess to you that that's behind us now."
A few feet away Odd shook his head. "We have a long way to go."
"And so we don't have missions anymore.." Ulrich wasn't able to finish before the school bell malfunctioned and began to beep a very loud alarm, forcing everyone to cover their ears.
The alarm speaker sparked, before turning off and falling off.
Aelita and Jeremy watched sparks of electricity shoot out form the speaker and through the cable.
"Tell me you saw it!" Aelita pleaded. Jeremy did nothing more than shake his head is shock.
- Somewhere in Japan -
Papers were everywhere in the girls room.
"No no no this can't be possible. Damn it Waldo you told me you had it under control!"
The light of the computer monitor caught her face and she pushed her short, sky-blue hair behind her ears. Sitting down, she typed away on the keyboard bringing up and interface for an avatar program along with the coordinates of the activated tower.
"Guess it cant be helped. Aelita and her friends will need the help. After all these years they still have to be involved in this mess."
-Jeremy's room-
" I saw the evidence! Even this morning with the computers in gym there were lines of codes" Aelita explained. "I've seen them too much already, we all have."
"But didn't we destroy Xana?" Ulrich pointed out.
"We can double check. Turn on the supercomputer and run a scan." Jeremy proposed.
Yumi spoke up. " For what? To explain our school is in ruin and that Jim is crazy?"
Ulrich laughed and agreed with Yumi. " Our Lyoko warrior days are over you know."
Aelita became aggravated. " You're laughing when Xana may still be alive? Back then even with quarter of a doubt you all would have rushed to it.
Jeremy sighed. " Aelita is right."
They all finally gave in and proceeded to the sewer entrance and to the factory in what seemed like forever. The place still remained the same, abandoned as they left it last and entered the Supercomputer room.
"It's freezing in here!" Odd complained, rubbing his hands together for warmth.
Jeremy smirked. "Well it was the supercomputer than kept this room warm after all Odd." He then reached his hands out towards the power switch.
"Wait." Ulrich stopped him. "We're gonna reactivate all of this based on Aelita's feelings?"
" I saw Xana's codes Ulrich! I'm sure it was him!" She replied. "Jeremy either turn it on or I will."
Jeremy nodded and placed the keycard into the interface, turning the Supercomputer one for the first time in months. Last time he did this alone, but now his friends were right next to him.
-Lyoko-
Something had stirred in the digital network, sensing the awakening of Lyoko relighting the one area of the network.
-Lab-
"Everything seems to be in order. Wait.." Jeremy typed away looking at the strange information on the screen. "It's not Xana but it seems two sectors are missing."
"Maybe the data was lost last time we turned the supercomputer off." Ulrich suggested.
"None the less I'll run a superscan. That should tell us if Xana is back or not." Everyone looked at the screens hoping Jeremy would return some good news. " Nothing on the sensors, or Data flux. Well now to check the towers." He hit a few keys and the screen zoomed to it's duty.
Jeremy sighed in relief. " Nothing, no activated tower, no sign of Xana at all!"
Aelita didn't look convinced. " Xana isn't exactly the type to leave ' I'm back ' Notes lying around. Maybe in another world…"
" We destroyed all the replikas. " Jeremy said. " There are no other virtual world's with a complexity such as Lyoko's. If the super-scan didn't pick up anything it's because Xana's not there anymore. We destroyed it months ago.
"Then I'll just go to Lyoko" Aelita said.
Odd jumped up. " I'll go too!"
"But why Aelita?"
Aelita looked at Jeremy with pleading eyes. "To go to the core, to see my father before you turn it off again, please."
Jeremy finally gave in while Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other like " Anything for Jeremy's Angel."
Odd smiled at Aelita and they took the elevator downstairs to the scanners.
Scanner ready. Transfer ready.
Scanner Aelita. Scanner Odd.
Virtualization.
The minute she was virtualized, Aelita wandered off towards the labyrinth while Odd stayed behind, and played around of course.
Shooting a few laser arrows Odd exclaimed, " Feels good! I'm almost disappointed by the lack of monsters!" Noticing Aelita running to the labyrinth he put his paws to his sides. " Hey Aelita the labyrinth is over there. Don't you want to go to the Core of Lyoko? Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Yumi sat up straight in the lab while Ulrich played on his phone. "Well when they finish their litlle stroll, you'll turn off the supercomputer. Do we agree?"
"Huh oh yeah Yumi. " Jeremy noticed something strange on the monitor. " What is this thing? Come see…" looked over to the elevator and Yumi and Ulrich just waved goodbye to him. " Ulrich? Yumi?" He shook his head and went back to the screen.
"Hey Jeremy, can you give me my board?" Odd asked. His overboard materialized in front of him and he jumped on taking it for a spin. " Yahoo!"
- Sewers-
Ulrich and Yumi walked down the sewers together heading back towards the school.
" I love Aelita, but really… You could say she did all that just to go back to Lyoko."
" I can understand that." He replied. " But, anyway, the point is that Xana is gone. "
" Yeah I can completely agree with you." She stopped him. " Didn't you have something to tell me earlier? At least before the speaker went haywire?"
Ulrich paused. He completely forgot about confessing to Yumi. " Uh, yeah, yeah…." A little workout at the gym? What do you say?"
Yumi climbed up the ladder and looked over to him. " Sure."
-Lyoko-
Aelita walked up to an inactive tower while Odd flew around on his overboard, being… well Odd.
"So Aelita I was thinking… Since Xana is gone and all we could do something with Lyoko. Make it an amusement park, it's be stupid not to use all this."
Aelita just continued to stare at the tower.
" Like 'Welcome to this new, revolutionary theme park! Three surprising and mysterious worlds await you! Welcome to Lyoko Land!' " Odd spoke wile doing tricks in the air and jumping over obstacles in sector 5's ceiling.
Aelita placed her hand on the tower, as if she were feeling it or trying to enter.
" What do you think?" Odd noticed she wasn't even paying attention and sighed.
- Gym-
Yumi tackled Ulrich and threw him over her, before proceeding to jump on top and pin him to the floor mat. "So you were saying?"
He smiled and rolled on top of her this time. "I'll say it if I want too." Their looked into each others eyes in silence and Ulrich thought about kissing her when suddenly Jim entered the room.
Interrupting the mood, " Ah bravo! Working out outside of school hours! Finally some dedicated students! Since the cyber-sports are done. Too virtual."
Ulrich and Yumi looked back to each other and giggled. If only Jim knew what they were up to for 3 years.
"Contact, real, sweat, body against body! Get going, kids. I need to change a few fuses." Jim winked and walked off to the back area of the gym.
- Lyoko -
Out of the corner of the Avatar's eyes, the blue haired girl could see Odd Della Robbia doing handstands on his overboard and talking nonsense about some ghost overboard and skeletons. She couldn't help back laugh back at her computer.
" What an idiot." She said. " Now where the hell is this tower?" She pulled up a interface and began scanning the sector before it beeped and located the red tower.
"Odd no you can't use Lyoko to flirt!" She heard Jeremy's voice.
" God they will be here forever." the girl sighed and sent a signal to the Supercomputer of the tower's location before running off towards it.
"Odd, Aelita I've located a signal! A tower was activated in Sector 5."
"But there's only one here, and it's inactive in front of us." Odd mentioned.
" This is a new tower. Hurry."
Odd and Aelita had the same look and ran off. If there was a 2nd tower in Sector 5, and it was active, it was bad news. That's when they hand their welcoming party of 3 megatanks. One of the tanks open up and fired, causing the two to split and dodge. Before a second one could fire at Aelita, Odd quickly grabbed her and flew his overboard away.
"Jeremy! Who was the one to say Xana was gone?" Odd said.
Jeremy shook his head in disbelief. " I don't understand, the superscan saw nothing at all. And then a tower appeared!"
" That because you didn't look hard enough and I sent you the signal Jeremy." The girl flew next to Odd and Aelita on some sort of disc that had a rotating ring around it. " You know you really should upgrade the damn thing I can't keep helping you."
Aelita looked over at her. She was about 5 foot 6 with short blue hair pulled into a similar style as Yumi, only the split in the bangs had 4 yellow hairclips. Her outfit consisted of a dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit with blue gloves starting at his middle finger and ending up above her elbows. From there the gloves connected to the grey neck and shoulder gaurds with ninja like fish nets. Her skirt was nothing more than knee length cloth cut to the belt into 4 different pieces, for easier fighting. For finish, she had black boots and the shoulder guard had a symbol on the chest area of a diamond surrounded by rings, and wore a interface visor for glasses.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Name's Crystalic. Enough chitchat. Xana is back and we have some megatanks blocking our way to the tower. Follow me." Crystalic took off down a tunnel.
"Should we trust her Jeremy?" Aelita asked.
" I don't see any other options right now. Just be careful."
Crystalic exited the tunnel and waved for the others to follow her to the right. She looked past and saw the three megatanks right on their tails.
- Electric room-
Jim scratched his head. He had no idea how to fix this mess or even where to check next.
" Can't they just put a single large button here with a label that it's the one? That one isn't, there are dozens of buttons everywhere! Hmm what's written here?"
He looked over at on of the panels for a closer look. It read volt, Ampere and what he looked as vatt to him. Electricity sparked form the panels and shocked Jim before a specter of himself materialized in front of him and caused him to pass out straight on the floor.
-Lab-
" Ulrich where are you?" Jeremy was on the phone with Ulrich's voicemail. " Aelita was right. Xana is attacking and there's a strange girl named Crystalic here. Return ASAP and pay attention."
- Gym-
Ulrich was trying to tell Yumi something.
"Well we are here. You wanted to tell me something?" Yumi asked.
He mustered up all the courage he had. " Okay, I'll tell you. Umm… it's really simple… I have feelings for you. That is I…" he stopped when he noticed Jim walking over to the two. " No it's fine sir we finished. We don't want to exercise anymore."
Jim grabbed Ulrich with an unemotional face.
" I don't feel so good…"
Yumi shouted at Jim. " Stop, you're hurting him!" She ran and pushed Jim off.
Ulrich stumbled. " My visions all blurry.." He grabbed onto Yumi for support.
" I'm taking you to the nurse. It seems serious." Ulrich nodded and Yumi's phone rang.
" Jeremy? What? Xana? Crystalic? A specter?" She looked up at the Jim specter. " Run! That's a specter not Jim!"
-Lyoko-
"The tower!" Odd shouted. The trio had finally managed to make it to the tower.
" We still have company to take care off." Crystalic jumped off her disc and grabbed it. The disc's ring spikes appeared and she threw it at on of the megatanks. It caused the Megatank to explode on impact, at the cost of her vehicle.
Odd flew past another and shot a wide range of arrows, killing another. " Ha two less now!" He spoke to soon, as the third megatank fired it's attack and knocked Odd off the Overboard.
" Odd quit fooling around." Crystalic shouted. The megatank fired again and she made a pair of long bladed Tonfas, one with a crescent moon and the other with a sun, appear in her hands. She threw them up in an X shape in front of her face and stopped the attack from hitting Aelita.
" Go!" She shouted at Aelita. " Deactivate the tower. We'll be fine!"
Odd dodged a few more attacks from the megatank before finally getting devirtualized.
" I don't think I'll be getting that amusement park now…" He stumbled out of the scanner.
Aelita charged up a energy field and fired it at the megatank. Crystalic ran up close and sliced its armor right as it retracted.
- Park-
" When he touched me, he transmitted something." Ulrich explained, struggling to get into the sewer entrance.
Yumi held him for a moment, helping him inside. " I'll guide you."
-Lyoko-
The third megatank was finally defeated by Aelita, and the two girls gave high fives. However they didn't notice the two krabes appear in front of the tower until Crystalic was hit by a laser.
- Sewer-
" Here sit down." Yumi walked Ulrich over to the wall and set him down before her phone rang again. " Yes Jeremy? Ok. Ok." she put her phone away and looked over to Ulrich. " I have to go, Odd was just devirtualized and is coming back for you." She placed her hand on his cheek and ran off.
- Lab-
Yumi ran into one of the scanners. " Jeremy I'm here. Tell Odd to hurry up, I'm worried about Ulrich!"
- Sewers-
Ulrich saw a figure running to him and jolted when it touched him.
" Hey Ulrich it's me! Jeremy told me everything. The specter is Jim right? Come on let's hurry." Odd grabbed him and helped Ulrich up.
-Lyoko-
"Hey Yumi glad you could join us!" Crystalic said when Yumi flew by on her Overwing.
" You must be Crystalic?" She tossed her fans at one of the krabes and destroyed it.
" Yes and you are just in time. Thanks for the help!" Crystalic jumped up on top of the second krabe and stabbed it with the elbow end of her bladed Tonfa.
Aelita flew into the tower. And to the top platform.
-Sewers-
Ulrich tripped causing Odd to catch his own balance.
"You really can't see anything?"
Ulrich stood up with his help. "Sorry Odd."
The specter walked up behind the two boys. Odd laid Ulrich against the wall and walked up to it.
" You like cyber sports huh?" Odd tried to punch the specter, only to get caught by it. He collapsed as the specter seemed to be draining him of something.
-Lyoko-
Aelita opened up the interface and placed her hand on it.
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
-Sewer-
The specter exploded.
- Jeremy's room-
" So what does this mean. Did we destroy Xana, yes or no?" Ulrich asked.
" Yes and no. When Aelita, Odd and Yumi were virtualized, they had a red outline flashing around them." Jeremy explained.
His computer booted up and an image of a blue haired girl on webcam appeared on the screen.
" Xana basically in short, Imputed code into the four of you. Source codes, to be exact. He did this just before he was quote 'defeated' unquote."
" How do these codes help him?" Odd asked, confused as ever.
" It's probably how he survived. By injecting these codes into us and recovering them, he'll regain all his power." Aelita spoke.
Crystalic nodded. " Unfortunately Xana was smarter than Franz anticipated and managed to survive it's own destruction. He can control the network again if he were to get them all back."
" We just need to turn off the supercomputer." Yumi pointed out.
" No that won't work." Crystalic protested. " Xana was able to launch those small electrical attacks even while the supercomputer was turned off. I'm still looking into it but it seems he has another way of doing this without Lyoko. Turning it off will do nothing but stop us from being able to stop him. I know how you feel Yumi, as much as I thought this was all over as well but this isn't something we can walk away from."
Ulrich looked over at the screen. "Who are you anyways Crystalic? You know so much about Lyoko and us, but we don't even know who you are."
" Ah I will have to explain that tomorrow my dear Ulrich. For I have a plane to catch."
"Plane? Wait you aren't in France? How'd you get onto Lyoko then?" Odd asked.
"Idiot." She said. " You thought that was really me? One, I would have appeared on the supercomputer's list of saved transfer data just as you all would have. Two if you noticed the movement restrictions I had you would know I was using a controlled avatar. I mean there isn't a scanner here in Japan after all."
" Japan?" Yumi's eyes shot to her.
" Long story like I said I'll explain tomorrow." She said before shutting off the connection.
" Well I guess that means the Lyoko Warriors are back then." Jeremy said.
A/n Shesh it took me 3 hours to write a 23 min episode -_- . Im working on drawing Crystalic's Earth and Lyoko designs right now all i have is sketches but none i can use as a character reference atm.
