Author's Note:
Heya, guys~! No worries, I won't take long!
So, welcome to "Seven-Coloured Wings," folks! This is a multi-crossover set in a slightly alternate dimension. The prologue will introduce you to the characters involved, as not all of them will be a part of the main cast (for obvious reasons. Think of this as a cartoon version of "Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology" that's the best reference that I can give you... and that says a lot about what I am doing.) In case it doesn't appear to be obvious later in the fic, I'll tell you who is the main protagonist in this story: it's Satoshi of Masara Town from the anime series, "Pokemon." (Americans and Canadians know him as "Ash Ketchum" and the French know him as "Sasha.") The reason I chose to use his Japanese name was so that I can keep the authenticity of the anime for this fanfic which was one of the many things that I wanted to do for this fic. The blonde-haired hero of "Code Lyoko" has his name spelled "Jeremie" instead of the traditional spelling of "Jeremy" for the same reason as well. You will later find out that other Pokemon characters have kept their Japanese names and titles as well, such as Misty as "Kasumi." The Pokemon antagonist, Giovanni of Team Rocket, will be addressed as "Sakaki of Roketto-dan." (Sakaki of Team Rocket) This is one of those awkward anime fanfics where we don't use honorifics for the sake of universal views. I am not kidding when I say I am not adding Japanese honorifics (despite the fact that I know what they are and what they mean), because I seriously don't want to have to single the Japanese fans out with the fans of Code Lyoko or Kim Possible, or even Cyberchase and Artemis Fowl. The main reason that I wrote a multi-crossover was so that I can have a broad range of viewers, and I can actually be given a chance to show how once cartoon or television show can be just as good as the next. So, if you start complaining about how I gave Japanese names and changed "Team Rocket" to "Roketto-dan" and did not give the characters Japanese honorifics, I will ignore you. Just to keep that in mind so that you don't waste your time.
Well, with that aside, I hope you enjoy "Seven-Coloured Wings." ^^

Prologue:
A tear in the sky.
At least, that's what it seemed like; with the loose fabric of the blue atmosphere fluttering in Earth's wind.
Satoshi had stopped mountain boarding halfway down the hill to see the strange phenomenon above the rural part of his hometown, Masara Town.
As his pet yellow rodent jumped up onto his shoulder, staring up at the same sight of its owner, Satoshi asked it, "You see that, Pikachu?"
Pikachu nodded in reply.
What the heck is that?

Matt waited impatiently for his cellphone to be connected to his friend's.
Finally, there was a click and a female's voice answered. "Hello?"
"Inez, are you seeing this?" Matt asked as he stared up at the sky.
"If you're talking about the rip in the sky, then yes." Inez replied, "I'm looking at it right now."
"Where's Jackie?"
"She's with me." Inez answered. "She's trying to contact Motherboard now."
"Y'think Hacker's behind this?"
"Highly unlikely. But, it doesn't hurt to check."
"Motherboard's sending us the portals!" a voice called from the background.
Matt whirled his head to the side and saw the familiar swirling purple vortex, suspended in the air by a strange force of gravity.
"I'll meet you guys there." Matt said before he hung up. Before entering the space of sparkling violet, Matt took one last glance at the rip in the sky.
"What in the world is going on?"
* * *
Beep beep beep-beep...
Kim stopped walking through the promenade of Middleton and began rummaging through her handbag as the chirping continued.
"Where is it, where is it?! Here it is!"
Triumphantly, Kim pulled out her turquoise communication device out of her bag and pressed the answer button.
"What's the sitch, Wade?"
"Look at the sky."
Kim looked up and gasped as she saw a fluttering gap in the sky, like a rip in a piece of pure blue fabric.
"What the...?"
"Kim!"
Kim whirled around to see her blonde-haired and freckle-faced boyfriend running towards her.
"Ron!" Kim exclaimed. "You saw it, didn't you?"
"Yeah." Ron replied as he stared at the sky. Kim looked up as well and furrowed, as a strange, white light emitted dimly from the torn sky.
"Just what is that thing?"
* * *
Rrrrriiiipppp....
Jeremie gasped and loked up at the sky. A white light was seeping through the blue skies as its fibres were being torn apart.
"What in the...?"
"Jeremie!"
Jeremie whirled around to face a running pink-haired girl in a dark blue dress with frills.
"Aelita, what are you doing here?!" Jeremie exclaimed.
"Someone spotted me, Jeremie!" Aelita cried. "We have to get out of here, fast! Before the police come!"
Jeremie cursed under his breath and took one last glance at the rip in the sky before running off with Aelita to the abandoned factory.
"Just what is going on?"
* * *
"Artemisia, look!"
Artemisia looked up at the sky to see the sky falling apart, streams of light leaking through its wounds.
"Wh-what the hell?!"
"Artemisia, Brian!"
The two teens turned to face a pale man with raven black hair running towards them.
"Father!" Artemisia exclaimed.
"Master Fowl!" Brian cried simultaneously.
"You alright?" the man asked.
"We're fine." - Artemisia turned to face the sky - "But I don't think the sky is..."
The man looked up and gasped. "The space barriers..."
* * *
"...they're dying."
"WHAT?!"
Jeremie and Aelita had assembled the other Lyoko Warriors into the computer room of the factory, away from the eavesdropping ears of overprotective family members.
"Just what exactly do you mean by the space barriers are 'dying'?" Yumi inquired.
"It means that the time stream is collapsing, and the fissures are portals to the time stream." Jeremie explained. "Anybody, and anything can travel through it freely, and even accidentially."
"Including viruses?" Jin asked.
Jeremie furrowed. "Especially viruses: whether it be illness or electronic."
"Dammit." Odd cursed. "That's not good. So much for trying to keep XANA tamed..."
"The time stream is heavily connected with each era's technology, so it's easy for XANA to go from one dimension to the other. And we're not the only one's affected by this." Jeremie continued. "For the fourth dimension, their sky is practically going through the shredder. Pretty soon, their whole dimension will be consumed into the time stream and land crashing somewhere in oblivion."
"That's not good..." Ulrich frowned. "Isn't there anything we can do? If XANA is involved, we must be able to do something, right?"
Jeremie sighed as he contemplated on his friend's suggestion. A moment later, he said, "There is one way." - he looked up to face his friends - "Ever heard of the Lost First Dimension... the one where the world is so different that its not even relevant to the other worlds?"
The other Warriors exchanged dubious expressions.
Jeremie stood from his hover chair and addressed his friends again. "There's someone there that can help us. The question is if he's willing to help or not, and a matter of how we're going to bring him here."
Aelita closed her eyes. "Who is it?"
Jeremie crossed his arms across his chest. "A teenaged ranger by the name of Satoshi of Masara Town."
