Code Mystery
What would happen if Franz Hopper and Aelita weren't the first ones to enter Lyoko? What if there were 5 others?
Prolouge
With all of Lyoko created, Franz knew that the MIB would come after him so he decided to go to Lyoko with his daughter, Aelita. But first, he needed to test the virtualization program.
"I think it's time I tested out my virtualization program," Franz said. "Maybe some of my students can help me and I know which ones, too." He loves every student in his class, but he had 5 in particular that he loved the most, Julie Reeves, age 14; Brandon Chilies, age 13; Pericles Sanders, age 13; Ronnie Owens, age 13; and the youngest, Chase Williamson, age 12.
After class, he asked them to stay for a bit and talk to them about a project he was working on.
"So, children how would you like to do something scientific?" Franz asked.
"What do you mean scientific?" Brandon asked. As soon as the door was closed Franz got to the point.
"I want all of you to go to a virtual world that I created, I want to test everything out to make sure it works properly," Franz said. "Are you in?"
"I'm in,"Pericles said.
"Me, too," Brandon replied.
"It sounds risky, but why not?" Julie answered.
"Well...," Ronnie said, "I don't see why we can't." All eyes turned to the youngest one, Chase was shy and a little bit scared. But, still he loved the idea of going to a virtual universe and said, "okay."
Later that night, Franz set the scanners up for all of them, unfortunately there were only 3 scanners, so the others had to wait their turn. The others were a little bit nervous. So to ease their nerves, Pericles went first, and the precedure was started, and the scanner's doors closed up on Pericles.
"Transfer, Pericles! Scanner, Pericles! Virtualization!" Before Pericles knew it, he landed face first on the ground of the Mountain Sector, to discover that he was now a parrot.
"Wow, cool," Pericles said as he started flying around. Pericles, also known as Perry for short, has always dreamed about flying since he was a little boy, he was always said to have his head in the clouds giving him the power of air. He could create winds of any strength, including tornadoes, and even siphon the air out of others lungs.
"Who's next?" Franz asked.
"I guess that would be me," said Brandon.
"Very well," Franz said as Brandon stepped into another scanner, the scanner closed on him as well.
"Transfer, Brandon! Scanner, Brandon! Virtualization!" Brandon then landed face first in the Forest Sector, after picking himself up, Brandon found himself wearing a Green Lantern outfit, with a power ring and all.
"This is so cool," Brandon said as he flew across the Forest Sector. Brandon has always been sensitive towards nature, despite his gothic appearance. He is said to be an eco-goth, in fact, his power on Lyoko is Earth, granting him the power to control, shape, and generate earth, including sand, stone, rock, lava, dirt, glass, metal, and other minerals.
"All right, who's next?" asked Franz.
"I'll go," said Julie.
"Okay, then," Julie stepped into the scanner, and the scanner closed with her inside.
"Transfer, Julie! Scanner, Julie! Virtualization!"
Julie then found herself face first in the Desert Sector, Julie then found herself wearing an outfit similar to Wonder Woman, with an lasso to complete it.
"Wow! I like this!" Julie said as she flew across the sky. As the oldest of the group, she has always had a hot shot personality. That's why she has been gifted with the power of fire, giving her tohe power to generate, manipulate and/or absorb fire.
"Alright, you two. Now it's your turn," said Franz, opening the scanners Brandon and Perry went through. Once inside, the two scanners closed.
"Transfer, Ronnie! Transfer, Chase! Scanner, Ronnie! Scanner, Chase! Virtualization!"
After falling face down to the ground, the two kids foound themselves in the ice sector. Ronnie had Aquagirl's clothes and Chase had Hawkman's.
"Woah," said Ronnie.
"Nice," said Chase.
"That's not the best part," said Franz, "Chase, wave your hand over that bracelet." When, Chase did that, yellow energy wings popped up.
"Check it out!" said Chase as he was admiring his new wings, and he and Ronnie flew and or ran across the sector. Ronnie is kind, sweet, sensitive, and a real smart girl. She is also a talented swimmer, which is no wonder why she has the power of water. She now has the ability to control, generate, and/or absorb water and moisture. Ronnie's real name is Ronda. Chase, the youngest of the group, has always been extremely curious of the world around him, he also has an electrofying personality, that is why he has the power to control, generate, and/or absorb electricity.
It is already seen that Chase and Ronnie seem to have a romantic attraction to each other, seeing as to how Chase hold her hand, which is the main reason to why Franz Hopper chose those two to be together.
"Ice Sector, secure," said Ronnie.
"Desert Sector, secure," said Julie.
"Forest Sector, secure," said Brandon.
"Mountain Sector, secure," said Pericles.
"Okay, children, now I want you to go at the edge of the sector, " said Franz, "I'll summon a transporter that will take you to a fifth sector."
"Got it," they all called out. As soon as they reached the end of each sector, Franz typed in the code SCIPIO and a transporter appeared in each location transporting them all to Sector 5. As soon as they were in the arena, a wall opened up on Julie's side, and a snake-like creature slithered pass them.
"Um, Dr. H...," Pericles started to say. "Dr. H" was what most of his students called him, while some call him Dr. Hopper or Mr. Hopper.
"I know," said Franz, "Follow it." The 5 kids then followed the creature (of course, they had to wait for the passage way to open up), they later entered the core zone.
"Are you sure it went through here, Brandon?" asked Julie.
"It's the only place it could've gone," replied Brandon. All 5 then walked into the Core Zone to the creature.
"Guys, maybe we should be ready just in case," said Ronnie.
Chase agreed, "Ronnie's right, that 'snake' wasn't exactly 'normal', it had arms!"
"Dr. H, do you think we were lead here on purpose?" asked Pericles.
"I wish I knew, Perry, I wish I knew," replied Franz, as they continued to search. Later, a countdown appeared and Franz explains about the trigger used to shut it off, they spotted a trigger up above, but later Ronnie shot in the arm by one of the snake creatures.
"Ronnie, you have 80 life points left," cried Franz. The creature soon closed in on them, and it wasn't alone. "It's a trap," Franz cried again,"Press the trigger!" Chase and Pericles flew above to press the trigger while the others fought off against the creatures. As soon as they hit the switch, the room resets itself to reveal a door, as soon as they go through it, they enter another hallway, where they encounter a mountain of skulls. Chase tries to walk towards it, until Pericles pulls his hair.
"Ow," cried Chase, "What gives, Perry?"
"I was trying to save your life," replied Pericles, revealing it to be a trap. "Julie, can I borrow your locket?" Julie then gives Pericles the locket that Brandon gave her, and lets him open a crate on top of the mountain of skulls, revealing X.A.N.A., who hexes the Core Zone to make it act up.
"Another booby trap," cried Chase, "Run!"
"Children," cried Franz, "Run back to the Core Zone! Hurry!" As they fly out (with Brandon using his ring carrying Ronnie, who was the only one who couldn't fly), a laser strikes Perry, making him drop the locket, leaving it to be crushed.
"Perry, you have 70 life points left," cried Franz. The kids then make it back to the Arena in one piece before the hallway permanently closed on them.
"I'm sorry about your locket, Julie," said Perry.
"Don't worry about it," said Julie, "Even without it, I know that Brandon loves me." Brandon and Julie have been going out, too. Chase hugged his purple haired friend hoping to reassuring him.
"Children, it's too dangerous," said Franz. "I'll bring you to the Ice Sector, so you'll be safe." But, as Franz typed in the code, X.A.N.A. made sure that he couldn't summon the transporter. Back in the Arena, X.A.N.A. appeared before all five of them.
As they tried to attack, X.A.N.A. currently had the upper hand. He attcked Julie first, who tried to put up a wall of fire to protect herself, but X.A.N.A. summoned water to destroy the flames and shot Julie through the heart and ultimately devirtualized her, but unfortunately, since they're was no materialization for Sector 5, she appeared to be deleted.
"Julie!", Brandon cried, as X.A.N.A. continued to attack. As Brandon tired to summon a wall of vines from the ground, X.A.N.A. poured yellow pollutants all over Brandon, and with one strike killed him.
"Brandon!", cried Pericles. He was able to more of a resistance towards X.A.N.A., summoning a tornado to finish the evil AI off, but unfortunately, X.A.N.A. struck him with air pollutants and pushed him into the core room and had a spear injure his right eye.
"Perry!" cried Ronnie and Chase, as the Transport Orb appeared. But as soon as they could enter it, X.A.N.A. pushed Ronnie and Chase back to the Core Zone where he finished off Ronnie, with a heatwave as she tried to summon a wall of water.
"Ronnie!", cried Chase as he tried to summon a beam of electricity at X.A.N.A., who, unfortunately had the same power. X.A.N.A., then, summoned electric ice to freeze the youngest child and ultimately killed him.
"Chase!", cried Pericles as he tried to make an escape, but before he could jump in the transport orb, X.A.N.A. finished him off, too.
"Julie? Brandon? Perry? Ronnie? Chase? Anyone?" cried Franz, but it was too late, X.A.N.A. killed his prized pupils, he never saw them again.
