Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko, it is the property of Antifilms and France 3.
Author's Note: I got this idea after I watched the episode "Image Problem". I started wondering why the creators felt that it had to be Yumi who was trapped on Lyoko and replaced with a copy, why not one of the guys? And then I thought that this would make a good fan fiction. And so, I made the decision to write this; I hope it's good. And now, without further ado, here is my first Code Lyoko story.
Disappearance
Yumi, Odd, and Aelita raced along the Lyoko Polar Region to where Jeremie had said there was an activated tower. Jeremie had earlier been contacted by Aelita and she told him that she felt pulsations coming from a tower there. Jeremie himself had run a scan and found an activated for a few seconds. Afterwards, he called the others and told them what was going on. Yumi had agreed to be there before school started and Odd had agreed to go with her; Ulrich chose to stay behind and cover for Odd.
"Just keep going straight ahead" Jeremie told them, "You should be able to see the tower by now."
"Yeah, no kidding," said Yumi, "It sticks out like a sore thumb."
Upon arrival, the warriors looked cautiously and Odd commented, "Strange. It doesn't look activated and I don't see any monsters."
"I know," said Yumi, "It's awfully calm."
Thinking that there might more to the situation than meets the eye, Aelita went inside the tower to examine it and then talk to Jeremie. After exchanging greetings, Aelita and Jeremie talked about how they both thought tower seemed activated at first but then it was not. While they were talking, Odd and Yumi heard a strange sound.
"What was that?" Yumi asked.
"I have no idea," said Odd, "But we should probably check it out."
"Good idea," said Yumi, "You go left and I'll go right. If you see anything, call for me."
The two split up to look for the source of the sound, weapons ready for anything. Meanwhile Jeremie and Aelita were just admitting that it was a false alarm when Aelita suddenly heard a scream outside the tower.
"That sounded like Odd!" Aelita said.
She rushed outside and found Yumi frantically searching for Odd, but he was nowhere to be found. They started searching around for any trace of the cat boy while Jeremie called out his name.
"Jeremie, Odd's disappeared!" Aelita said in fear.
"But that's impossible," said Jeremie, "He couldn't have just vanished."
"Well, I don't see him here," said Yumi.
"Hang on, Yumi," said Jeremie, "I'm gonna bring you both back."
"Okay," said Yumi, inwardly praying that Odd was alright.
Jeremie typed the program to re-materislize Odd and Yumi back to earth. He then rushed to the elevator and pressed the button to go down to the scanner room. Upon arrivel, Jeremie found Yumi holding Odd an unconscious Odd in her arms. Tears were threatening to come out of her eyes as she shook him and begged him to wake up.
"Oh my god" said Jeremie, approaching the two.
Yumi looked up at the boy genius and cried out, "Jeremie, Odd won't wake up! We've gotta get him to the nurse!"
"Right!" Jeremie said as he reached into his pocket for his cellphone, "I'll call Ulrich. He can help you carry Odd to school."
While Yumi kept watch over Odd, Jeremie speed-dialed Ulrich and waited for him to answer; Jeremie was relieved when Ulrich finally answered.
"Hey, Jeremie," said Ulrich, "What's up?"
"Ulrich, you have to come to the factory right away!" Jeremie said, "Something's wrong with Odd!"
"What?!" Ulrich asked, "Are you serious?! What happened?!"
"I'm not sure," said Jeremie, "I lost contact with him while he and Yumi were on Lyoko and brought them both back to earth. Yumi's fine, but Odd's unconscious. We need your help getting him back to school so we can get him to the infirmary; You and Yumi are the only two who are strong enough to carry him."
"Okay, I'll be right there," said Ulrich, and then he hung up.
Jeremie turned to Yumi and said, "Ulrich's on his way. Everything's gonna be okay."
"I hope so," said Yumi.
"There is one thing I don't understand," said Jeremie, "What happened on Lyoko?"
"I wish I knew," said Yumi, "But I'm afraid the only who might be able to tell you is Odd."
