Okay, first and foremost this is the third part of this story. What Have You Done, and All We Ever Wanted came before this, and I promise if you don't read those first you will be utterly lost. And I must admit, I started writing What Have You Done when I was just ending 8th grade, so my writing skills have changed IMMENSELY. I am now a senior almost finishing high school! WOOOHOOO! :) anywho, this story always has been and always will be a close to my heart. I love it, and so I'm determined to make this part of the story the best! So, if you haven't read those two yet, I would suggest reading them before you start this one. It'll take you probably three hours at most to get through them. Okay, here we go!

'Til Death Do Us Part

Chapter 1: Car Crash


It was a quiet morning in the city of Kadic, France as usual. That's why, of course most people chose to live there. It didn't have the usual hustle and loud noise of a normal city. Most of the neighborhoods were suburban and of course, there were some upper-class households. 5:45 AM. A familiar blonde/brunette sat up and turned off her alarm, pushed a button to open her blinds, and let the sun peek in.

"Ughhhh it's too early." Mannie whined as she turned over in her bed burying her face in the pillow beneath her.

"Yeah, I totally agree." Her husband, Odd smiled as he grabbed his groggy wife closer to him in a hug.

"Sssshhh, you're ruining it!" Mannie whined as she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Ruining what?" Odd faked being insulted.

"The silence. It was great until you had to open your big mouth and blab!" He laughed quietly, being used to her usual morning grumpiness after fifteen years of being married. She finally sat up in her bed, rubbed her eyes, and finally opened them so her bright gray eyes could adjust to the sunlight. She stood up, grabbed some clothes for the day, and walked to their bathroom. She splashed some water on her face to wake herself up more. She looked down at her left hand at the beautiful ring on her left finger. She smiled to herself, fifteen amazing years with the man of her dreams. She laughed quietly remembering the days from Kadic where her daughter, Aria, now went. She shook her head, stripped down to nothing, grabbed a towel from the cabinet, and put it on the towel rack next to the shower. She climbed in and turned the half way up, so she didn't burn herself. Fifteen minutes later, she was clean and out of the shower. She got dressed in some black shorts, and a light blue tank-top baby doll shirt. She blow-dried her hair and straightened it so it curled under toward her face, since she cut it to her shoulders. She spotted a water bottle and grinned to herself. She opened the door to her bathroom and silently tip-toed into her and Odd's room. She stood next to his side of the bed, quietly making sure not to wake him, and when she made sure he was still asleep she started violently squirting the bottle in his face. The water was ice cold so he jumped up, freaking out, spotting his wife laughing running into the bathroom. He jumped to his feet and ran to the door, trying to open it but she was barricading it, still laughing.

"What was that for!" He asked her wiping the water from his face.

"Putting ice down my shirt when I was sleeping on Saturday! Time to wakey wakey up baby!" She laughed some more.

"Yeah, but you needed to wake up then! Kody was awake and crying, and it was your turn to change his diaper!" Odd whined, trying to push open the door. Kody was their four and a half month old son.

"Ohhh waaah waaah. You couldn't let me sleep in just once! I wake up every day and take care of them! You couldn't let me just sleep in once, could you?" Mannie sighed, letting her guard of the door go down, and Odd took advantage of this ramming into it, pushing it open. He looked around, spotted his fearful Mannie, smiled evily and pinned her up against the door.

"You whine too much." He laughed kissing her. A couple minutes later they heard Kody start crying. Mannie sighed.

"No more after Kody, okay? Try to control yourself." She patted him, smiled, ducked under his arm and went to take care of their son. Odd smiled to himself, looking in the mirror, ran his hand through his hair (which was the same style as before). 'I don't know how I got so damn lucky.' He stripped naked, grabbed a towel, and took a shower.


Downstairs, Mannie was attempting to calm their son. She was humming him a familiar lullaby, cradling him in her arms. She had changed his diaper and tried to feed him a bottle, but he wouldn't take it, so she was trying to coo him into going back to sleep. Eventually he calmed down, and slipped back into his peaceful slumber, so she placed him back in his crib, smiled, and went to start breakfast. She made fifteen Belgian waffles, chocolate milk for Aria, orange juice for herself, and coffee for Odd. She also had eggs, bacon, and sausage if they had wanted any. She made sure to turn the oven off and went upstairs to wake up Aria. Aria was around the same height as Mannie, but was as skinny as Odd was in high school. Odd had finally put some weight on his body after high school, but most of it was muscle, as him and Ulrich still went to the gym daily. Aria had golden blonde hair with some brown-lowlights, and purple bangs, all natural thanks to her dad. Mannie knocked on the door and opened it slowly seeing her daughter still dead asleep. Another trait she got from her dad, she could sleep through anything and everything. Mannie walked over to her wall, and open the curtains to let sunlight into Aria's room. At night, there was a moonlit sky on her ceiling, and in the day she had a sunroof that would open, letting the breeze in. "Aria baby, it's time to get up."

"Noooooooo. Smmmurfff ennfffffandddfffff." Aria whined from her pillow. Mannie laughed and headed for the door.

"Aria, if you don't get up, I'll call in your dad to wake you up." This caused the teen to open her bright green eyes and jump out of bed right away. She showered and got dressed for the day, and ran downstairs to get her breakfast. The three chatted away sharing jokes and talking to each other cheerfully, until Mannie went in and got Kody ready for the day. She was dressing him up in his usual, every day attire, when she felt two arms snake around her stomach, so she turned around and smiled.

"Are you heading out already?" She asked. He nodded and pecked her on the lips.

"Yup, there's this new supposedly 'amaaazing' band that Josh wants me to hear, so I'm gonna listen to them, and if they're good I'll probably be there late, but if they suck like I think they will I'll be home around lunchtime, which means I can meet you wherever your fine little self is today and we can have a little alone time." He smacked her on the butt. She smiled and kissed him again.

"Can't you take Kody to daycare today? I really wanna have a talk with Aria, and I can't do that if Kody's whining the whole way to Kadic." Mannie asked him, pecking him quickly to try and persuade him.

"You know I would, but I'm already running late. How about I do it tomorrow?" Odd offered. Mannie sighed.

"Alright fiiiine, but you owe me." Mannie smiled turning back around to finish dressing their son.

"Oh don't worry. I intend on making it up to you." He laughed, smacking her on the butt again, walking out the door and yelling, "I love you!" Then she could hear the garage door open and his car backing out.

"I love you too!" Mannie yelled picking up Kody, grabbing his baby bag. She grabbed her purse, put it on one shoulder, the baby bag on the other. "Ready Aria?"


"Moooom. Dad was telling me that we're NOT going to Paris this weekend!" Aria whined. Kody had brown eyes like his dad but just blonde hair like his mom, but he was a chubby baby. Mannie sighed.

"We told you, you need to have an 85 in science, and you only have a 73. We are not going to Paris until you get your grades up." Mannie closed the door to the back seat of her white Jeep Grand Cherokee and walked to the driver's seat, and looked at her daughter. "Look, if you get up your grades to an 85 by next weekend we'll go."

"Wellllll, Mrs. Hertz told me how daddy used to always get failing grades! Why are you making me do the impossible! I think she has it in for me since dad was such a horrible student." Aria shook her head.

"Hahaha, well that may be true sweetie, but I was her star student. I got 100's. I still can't believe that lady is still teaching there." Mannie started the car and backed out of her and Odd's house. Odd and Mannie got married a year after they graduated on the beaches of France. Everyone, and I mean everyone was there. Almost everyone from school made it, and even Sam made an appearance. She apologized to Mannie and Odd about everything she had done over the past couple years, but Odd had her escorted out because he didn't trust her. Odd, had gone to college for two years to get an associate's degree in Music Producing. He moved on and was a part time painter when he wasn't busy with his very successful music business. Mannie still modeled sometimes just like her mom, and spent a lot of her time being an activist for organizations to help hunger and helping dolphins and other animals and such.

Yumi went to college and became a math teacher at Kadic, she and William also opened a dojo where they taught martial arts. William also became a master chef. They had two twin girls together, Naomi and Milee.

Aelita and Jeremy went onto college in Pisa, and they both became very successful scientists, Jeremy a geneticist and Aelita a cytologist. They had a son, Aldo, and a smaller daughter Carrie.

Avril and Ulrich also both went to college, Ulrich got a scholarship for the soccer team then got drafted by the Les Blues, and Avril became a best selling author. They both had a son as well, Damien.

As Mannie was driving to drop Kody off, he started crying.

"Aria, can you please reach in the bag and give Kody a bottle?" Mannie asked, not looking away from the road.

"Fiiiiine, not like you ever do anything for me." The teen whined while reaching behind her reaching for a bottle. "I don't see one Mom. Are you sure you packed one?"

"Yes I'm sure I packed one!" They pulled up to a stop light, Mannie unbuckled her seatbelt, reached back for the bag, and accidentally took her foot off the break. Aria turned frontward in her seat, and checked her phone.

"MOOOOM….Damien says they're all going to Paris this weekend! That's not fair!" Aria whined. She looked up. "Mom! Look out!" Before she knew it, a big van, which had been coming straight for them crashed into the driver's side of the car. Mannie flew forward and her head crashed into the right side, back seat side window, leaving a big crack. Aria flew forward, though restrained by the seatbelt, she still hit her head on the dashboard. A big group of people rushed around the car as the van drove away with a bashed in fender, and a bunch of people called 9-1-1 reporting the crash.


"Move out of my way!" Odd ran into the Kadic City ER Hospital. and hurried to the front desk. "Odd Della Robbia. I'm here about my son Kody Della Robbia, daughter Aria Della Robbia, and wife Manuella Della Robbia." He showed them his ID. One of the nurses heard this and asked him to come with her.

"This way Mr. Della Robbia… We are so sorry about your family. Your wife is in the ICU, thankfully your son only has a few scratches from glass, he's in the room with your daughter who is resting up. She has some cuts and bruises and a concussion from hitting her head. We figured you'd want them together." The nurse looked at him apologetically.

"What about my wife…?" He asked her.

"She is in a coma. She also got a concussion. For now she is stable, but you should go see your kids first, then we can take you to see your wife. Maybe she will be better by then!" The nurse tried to be positive.

"Okay, thank you so much." Odd's eyes started to well up with tears. 'I can't believe this. After fifteen years of nothing harming my family, they almost die.' He took a deep breath and walked into his daughters' room. "Aria? Baby?"

"Ohhh daddy!" He saw his daughter lying in the bed, and it broke his heart. He was supposed to protect her. And, here she was, 14 years old with all these damn machines hooked up to her poor little body.

"My poor little princess are you okay?" He ran over to her and hugged her tight. "Where's Kody?" He asked her. She pointed to a smaller version of the bed she was in. He walked over and picked up his son. Kody was sleeping and turned cuddled into his father's arms. Odd kissed his son on the forehead.

"Daddy where's mommy?" Aria asked him. He felt a terrible, sharp pang in his chest.

"….Mommy's in the ICU sweetie." He tried to stay strong in front of his daughter.

"Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't protect her. It just all happened all so fast!" He was taken aback by what she said, put Kody down, walked over to her, and kneeled by her bed.

"Hey hey hey now, you have nothing to be sorry for. I am so sorry that I couldn't keep you safe. Mommy will be okay princess, don't worry about her." Odd smiled and kissed his daughter on her head.
"Now get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up." Odd went and sat in a chair near his daughters bed.


He sat there for a little, reminiscing in his and Mannie's life together, and it wasn't long before Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, Avril, Yumi, William, and their kids all showed up.

"What are you all doing here?" Odd whispered in surprise.

"You didn't think we were gonna let you go through this alone did you? We're all like a family." Aelita smiled.

"A big big family!" Yumi and Williams' twins chorused, and Odd smiled.

"Thanks guys, it really means a lot."

"How's Mannie?" Ulrich asked him, and Odd frowned and sighed.

"She's in the ICU, they haven't let me see her yet." He shrugged.

"They're probably still trying to stabilize her. If she's in a coma all the people in the room could stress her out." Aelita said trying to make him feel a little better.

"Uncle Odd, don't worry about Auntie Mannie. She's a strong lady! I mean, she used to always beat you up! She'll get through this." Carrie said with her small voice. Odd picked her up and sat her in his lap.

"Thanks Carrie, you always know what to say." He poked her side, tickling her. He looked up at his daughter and saw the others' kids all sitting around her. It brought back memories of when he was in Kadic, and anyone in the group would be in the infirmary.


About 30 minutes later, the door opened to Aria and Kody's room.

"Mr. Della Robbia?" The nurse from before poked her head into the room. "You can go see your wife now." Everyone minus the kids stood up and followed Odd as he led the way behind the nurse. She slowly opened the door, and they all walked inside.

"Oh my Mannie!" He ran to her bedside and grabbed her hand. "I promised I would never let anything happened to you, I'm so sorry." He kissed her hand, and sat in a chair next to her.

"Wow…she looks like an angel." Avril said admiring Mannie. Mannie had cut her blonde hair shoulderlength, longer in the front, shorter in the back with brown lowlights. She had a big ugly bruise on her forehead, and cuts all over her body, and she was hooked up to numerous machines.

Suddenly out of nowhere, the lights in the hospital started flickering, and the machines started turning on and off. All the adults in the room got a familiar, sick to the stomach feeling and knew exactly what was happening.

All at once, they whispered, "XANA…"

They all dashed into Aria and Kody's room, where they saw Aria standing up with all her machines not hooked up to her body anymore.

"Aria, what are you doing? Lay back down!" Odd ordered his daughter. She shook her head.

"The machines aren't working anyways! I want to go with you!"

"What? How did you know we were leaving?" Odd asked her. She looked down at the ground confused.

"I…I don't know." He smiled and walked over to her.

"It's okay, as long as you're safe, you can come." He pushed her forward and all the children walked forward with their parents.

"Me, Carrie, and Kody will stay here, I don't want her to be put at risk." Aelita nodded. Jeremy nodded as well and kissed Aelita, and Carrie on the forehead.

Odd nodded to her, and then they all left the hospital, and made their way to Kadic. When they all got out of their cars, Odd and Ulrich stopped in front of the kids.

"We're going to show you guy something that you guys can't tell to anyone.It's been our secret for over twenty years, okay? So don't tell anyone no matter what they ask." Ulrich looked at all of them in the face. They all started walking to the factory.

"There's this other world we can travel to, called Lyoko. Not everyone can go in, but if you're chosen then you can." Odd helped explain. The kids looked at each other like their parents were crazy, but shrugged anyways.


Back at the hospital a person stepped out of the darkness of Mannie's room and walked over to her lifeless body.

"Hmph. I knew this would happen eventually. I knew you'd abandon Odd once again." The woman ran a dark finger up Mannie's leg, and made it twitch. "Ha. I could just kill you now if I wanted to, but I won't. I want you to suffer. You took Odd from me, the children, and life I could have had with him. Oh, and don't worry about Aria either." The woman bent over and whispered in Mannie's ear. "I'm making sure I take care of that little bitch myself, because I know she would ruin things for me, just like you did over, and over, and OVER." The woman grabbed a bar and slammed it down hard on Mannie's leg, breaking the bone. "I know you can feel that Manuela. Even if you won't show it. Odd will be mine. And I'll make sure everyone forgets you ever existed." The woman laughed, and walked out of Mannie's room.
