I've read a lot of stories about after Xana is destroyed. I'm sure there are some out there, but I have only read ones where they keep Lyoko a secret, rather than tell the world. So, I decided to make one.
Code: Eternity

Article from French newspaper:
Five teens, Jeremie Belpois, Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Rhobbia, Yumi Ishiyama, and Aelita Hopper, have led secret lives for the past two years. School children by day, savers of the world by night.
For the past two years, they fought an AI, known to them as "XANA" (Z-Anna). They waged war with it in a virtual world called "Lyoko," which was created by Hopper's late father, Franz. He initially created it as a haven for his daughter and himself to hide from the authorities. To enter it, one was to stand inside a large tube, called a "Scanner," then was scanned and sent to Lyoko. But, something went wrong. The security program, XANA, went out of control and attempted to destroy Hopper and his daughter. To save them, Hopper had to deactivate the supercomputer that housed Lyoko.
More than a decade later, Jeremie Belpois entered the factory. While looking for spare parts, he reactivated the supercomputer, awakening XANA. After checking the other floors, he saw a terminal for the supercomputer. There was only a sleeping girl on the screen. Later, XANA made his presence known. Using a vending machine, he attacked Belpois, which alerted Della Rhobbia, and Ishiyama that something strange was happening. Belpois reluctantly showed them to the supercomputer. After a few minutes, they had stopped XANA's attack. But there were still countless more in the future.
They prevented people from finding out about these attacks with, what they referred to as, a "Return to the Past," which they claim sends them back into time, with only them remembering what happened. It also prevents XANA's attack from happening. They claim to have stopped attacks that were made by four-story tall teddy bears, chemical trains on a collision course, to a top-secret military particle laser satellite. When asked about the existence of such a weapon, every embassy denied knowledge of its existence.
After more than a year, they finally found a way to bring Aelita Hopper to earth. But they could not celebrate so soon, because whenever the supercomputer was deactivated, Aelita's heart would stop. Soon, it became apparent to them that XANA's latest goal was to escape from Lyoko to the internet. Using one of his monsters, he stole a key that was hidden in Aelita's DNA code, releasing him from Lyoko. Her father came to her rescue, although they never saw him. He restored her memories, which were also stolen by XANA.
After it escaped, XANA used a monster to possess Aelita inside of Lyoko. He managed to have her destroy four of Lyoko's five sectors. Eventually, they realized they could not make it on their own. William Dunbar was asked to join the group to help fight XANA. Dunbar got cocky, and was completely taken over by XANA. XANA used Dunbar to destroy the last sector of Lyoko. But not all hope was lost. Even though XANA was no longer tethered to a supercomputer, it was not fully self-sufficient yet. Franz Hopper e-mailed Belpois coded data on how to rebuild Lyoko, and a probable location as to where Dunbar might be.
Using a ship, the Skidbladnir, "Skid" for short, they searched the Internet for traces of XANA, Hopper, or Dunbar. They came across numerous copies of Lyoko created by XANA. Each one represented a supercomputer under the control of XANA. They destroyed each copy, known to them as a "Replika," in an attempt to finally destroy XANA. XANA, sensing his imminent demise, attempted to flush out Hopper by forcing him to show himself to save his daughter. He did, and was nearly destroyed by XANA. However, Stern, Della Rhobbia, and Ishiyama protected him.
Later, Hopper was able to send Belpois data that would allow him to destroy XANA once and for all. Sacrificing himself, Hopper aided Belpois in sending a virus to XANA. Dunbar was later found by Della Rhobbia, Ishiyama and Stern while they searched the internet for him.
Shortly afterwards, they informed the authorities of what had taken place. They searched the location of the supercomputer, but found nothing. Researchers have attempted to move the devices that were found, but were threatened by Miss Hopper with legal action. She allowed them to study it on-site only. Researchers hope to one day copy the technology and advance it so that it may one day be available for everyday use.

Clip from American newspaper:
After two years of research, a breakthrough has been made. A successful copy of the hardware has finished, and is scheduled to be tested in less than a month. If successful, it may be the first step in a long process to create a device that is usable in every home.

Clip from American newspaper:
The test of the copy of Lyoko, code named Gemini (meaning 'twin'), was a success. A successful transportation of two subjects into the internet was more than anything they could have hoped for. A program is said to be in development that will help navigate across the internet to the original Lyoko from Gemini. If it is a success, several airline companies may not be able to stay in business much longer.

Article from French newspaper:
Two subjects have successfully transferred from Gemini to Lyoko. The test concluded early this morning. The two subjects, Odd Della Rhobbia, 16, and Ulrich Stern, 17, were two of the original pilots of the Skid, the original vehicle that traveled the internet. Several more copies are said to be near completion. Some rumors as to one of the copies is that one will be placed on the International Space Station.

Article from American newspaper (stub):
Several copies of the original Lyoko have arrived on every country. One is also set to arrive on the International Space Station. Several hundreds of trips have yielded successful results for intercontinental travel. With so many scheduled to be created, they are referred to as the Lyoko Network.

Article from French newspaper:
The space shuttle carrying Ditto, a Lyoko copy, that was bound for the International Space Station was destroyed. Shortly after launch, two sonic jets intercepted the rocket, attacking the booster. It exploded, killing the seven astronauts (three American, four French) inside. So far no one has claimed responsibility. The core of the supercomputer was breached, exposing the nuclear fuel cell inside. It was ruptured by the explosion and exploded as well in low orbit. The Electro-Magnetic Pulse disabled satellites above the attack site, allowing the jet fighters to escape. A tribute to the fallen astronauts will be held early next month.

Russian, French, and American researchers have discovered a way to bring the world of Lyoko closer to reality. Four years of constant research has finally paid off. Using advanced holographic technology, it is possible to see what a person sees while on the Lyoko Network. It is one giant step towards uniting Earth and the digital universe together.

A small room, 12mx10m, has fully merged with Lyoko. It had an unexpected affect; it turned the room into a gateway directly to the Lyoko Network. It is like walking through a doorway into the Lyoko Network.

Article from American newspaper
With the ability to walk directly into the Lyoko Network soon to be made available to the public, police have set up task forces with one goal: protect the safety of the public from hackers. The technology has had several blocks set on it, such as nothing from the Lyoko Network can be brought to Earth, but still allow things from Earth to go to Lyoko. A human can enter Lyoko and exit because it came from earth, but a virus cannot enter earth because it is from Lyoko Network. There is also a fail-safe: if someone loses all of their lifepoints, they are devirtualized and returned to earth. These task forces have the authority to track all entrances to the Lyoko Network, all traveling through it, and every exit from it. The task forces have the universal name of LN Guardians, or simply Guardians. The name was suggested by Ulrich Stern, in reference to one of Xana's monsters that captured and contained Aelita Hopper at one point.

Article from American newspaper
Researchers have developed ways to increase the amount of space that Lyoko and Earth can crossover. They have also refined the amount of energy required to maintain the connection to ½ of the original. There are rumors of a device that can create a crossover point around a single person, pulling them into Lyoko. There are several other rumors of a device that can allow one to travel to and from Lyoko at any time.

Article from American newspaper
The startling number of missing persons is increasing at an alarming rate. Since the Crossover technology has reached the public four months ago, a total of seventeen thousand people are reported missing. Guardians are working on creating a modification that will allow them to track a person at all times on the Lyoko Network.
Mostly a timeline. Now, on to the story!
