A/N: Yay! Made it through the first chapter! I'm planning to introduce My OCs in this chapter! Yay again! I'm proud of myself for not just giving up on this fanfiction; I have some really big plans for it. This may not go up until summer 2014 and if not then, 2015 (God forbid). Anyway, shorter author's note today, so you don't have to hear me yap like last chapter. Yay a third time! Sorry about that, last time! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm sure you're aware that the owner of Code Lyoko is probably French (and I am not). If I were the owner of Code Lyoko, I wouldn't be writing a fanfiction, I would be continuing the show. I DON'T OWN CODE LYOKO! PEACE!


~Kadic Vending Machine, 7:38 A.M.~

Odd, Yumi, Aelita, and Ulrich were at the vending machine, waiting to see if Jeremy would be able to come back from the factory today. Their question was answered by a running Jeremy emerging from the forest.

"I've done it! I've done it!" he yelled to his friends. He finally reached them, completely out of breath.

"Whoa whoa whoa, deep breaths Jeremy" said Ulrich, breaking from his monotone voice to show just a hint of concern.

"I… Finally… Completed… The… Program!" he said between breaths.

"A program is going to find people to help with X.A.N.A.?" asked Yumi, a bit confused.

"Yep… and I've finally figured it out." he said just before the bell rang. "I'll meet you… at the factory this evening… to show you guys." They all nodded and walked to their respective classrooms.


~The Factory, 5:42 P.M.~

"So here's how the program works, or programs, rather." Jeremy explained, the group looking at the screen from behind the chair.

"What do you mean 'programs'? I thought it was just the one." asked Odd.

"Well, it's a few programs in one. One part looks through medical records, then blood samples, and then looks for the type of blood Aelita has. Type O. It's meant to find someone with the ability to deactivate towers."

"But I thought that I my father gave me the keys to Lyoko." inquired Aelita.

"Well, considering how you had only been to the scanner room the one time when you were little, it couldn't have been a program." replied Jeremy. "Now the second part of the program is to check see how trustworthy the students are. This goes through student records to see which students have given scoops to the Kadic Newspaper. The ones I can't find in records I'll have to bribe to find. I've heard Tamia's a real squealer." Jeremy continued. "At the same time, the program searches to see which students are at least one grade lower than us, so after we've graduated, there'll still be people to fight X.A.N.A.. After the program runs for a bit, we should have a list of students to choose from. Later, I'll set up some cameras to run an ID scan on the students on the school grounds, so we recruit their friends to go on Lyoko with them. It also checks for students that have high GPAs and have interests in computers to check for the next… how do I put it…"

"Our next Einstein?" asked Odd, laughing with the rest of the group.

"Exactly!" Jeremy agreed. "Well, here we go." said Jeremy. The group stood behind him as Jeremy hit the 'Enter' key and the program started.

"That's really remarkable Jeremy, how long do you the program is going to take to finish the scan?" asked Yumi.

"Um… I'm not really sure. About 12 hours I suppose. We'll come back tomorrow to see if it's done."

The group nodded. "We should be getting back before Jim starts interrogating us." said Odd.

The group joined inside the elevator as the elevator doors closed behind them.


~Kadic Cafeteria, 7:23 A.M.~

Yumi walked over to the group's table and sat down in her usual spot. "So I've planted cameras all over the school to see who our candidates' friends are, which should make it easier to pull up their student records with a facial recognition program that I found installed in the supercomputer." explained Jeremy. "As soon as we're done we'll head to the factory." The group nodded as they ate their breakfast.

"Hey, have you guys heard about the donations being given to the school?" asked Aelita.

"Donations? Who from?" asked Yumi.

"Well apparently, these two artists, who I heard are parents of one of the kids at Kadic, sold an art piece for a lot of money, so they gave some to the school so they could add some extracurricular activities." she answered.

"Maybe some of the money'll go to hiring better staff members that remember to lock, dangerous shed doors, for instance." replied Ulrich

"Mhm"

"Yep"

"Yeah"

"Yeah first episode mhm…"

"What was that Odd?" asked Jeremy.

"Oh nothing, nothing…" Odd , avoiding the question.

"Hey Odd, aren't your parents artists?" asked Yumi.

"Mhm, so are a lot of other kids' parents." Odd answered, looking away from his friends.

"Really? Like who's?" asked Ulrich.

"Uhh…" droned Odd, with no answer to the question.

Jeremy had a confused look in his face for a moment. "Odd, was it… your parents that donated the money to the school?" he asked, still looking confused.

"UGH! Alright, yeah yeah my parents donated some money to the school, so what? It's not even important…" Odd said.

"This isn't just some money, the Kadic news said it was a couple thousand dollars, which is quite a bit." answered Aelita.

"Why didn't you tell us about this Odd?" Asked Jeremy.

"Isn't it just the tiniest bit lame that my parents came into a lot of money and they used it on my school?" he asked, upset.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, it just shows that your parents love you and want you to have a good education." said Aelita, trying to comfort Odd.

"And the donation aside, you're rich. Last I heard that was something you're supposed to brag about to your friends." said Ulrich.

"I guess you're right, it is kind of awesome to be rich." said Odd with a smirk.

"Aaaand, he's back." Aelita said. They all started to laugh as they left for the factory.


~The Factory, 7:35 A.M.~

"The program's just finishing up." said Jeremy, in front of the supercomputer. The group stared in awe as the program pulled up pictures of students, a few each second. The supercomputer stopped on pictures of three students. One was a picture of a sixth grade boy who had red, square glasses, short blond hair, and light brown eyes. The second was a picture of a 7th grade girl with long brown curly hair in two braids, and hazel eyes, and the third was another 7th grade girl with dark blue eyes and dark blue hair down to her shoulders. "Well, here are our candidates."

"What are their names?" Yumi asked.

"The boy's name is Zack Fredrics… the brown haired girl is Alana McDavid, and the blue haired girl's name is Luna Anemone."

"What about the scan for our next computer genius?" asked Odd.

"Let's see..." said Jeremy, typing. A moment of typing caused 3 pictures to show up on the screen. One was of a girl with short, dirty-blond hair in a dark red bow, and light brown eyes. The second was of boy with red hair with blond highlights and green eyes. The third was of a boy with dark brown, almost black hair and blue eyes. "The girl is Amanda Thompson, the boy with the blond highlights is Note Roe, and the second boy is Alan Carson."

They all pondered thinking which persons they should select for this incredibly important job. The decision they made now could determine whether they lost, or won the fight against X.A.N.A.. Their next move could decide the fate of all life as they knew it. (No pressure).

"How about we see if any of them are already friends with each other, so we don't have to take them from their current friend and drop them somewhere else entirely." asked Aelita, trying to keep the situation calm.

"Good idea!" said Jeremy, desperate to make the right decision. Jeremy pulled up the black and white camera feed from all over the school. He found each of the possible candidates with their friends. In one video feed though, it showed the girl with the blue hair and the boy with the blond highlights with 2 other people.

The group looked towards eachother as they made the obvious choice.

"It's decided then," said Jeremy. "Our next Lyoko group will be…" he said typing. "Luna Anemone, Note Roe, Tommy Ashwood, and Paulina Kwasniak,"

"So how are we going to bring up the subject of a virtual world?" asked Yumi.

The room went silent.

"Uh…" exclaimed Jeremy, looking a bit embarrassed. "I haven't exactly, uh… thought of that… yet…"

"Well what do we do now?" asked Ulrich.

"Don't you worry guys. I have an idea!" Odd said with a big grin on his face. The group stared at him in confusion.


~Jeremy's Room, 7:43 A.M.~

The printer next to Jeremy's computer made a loud whirring sound as it printed out 4 pages. Odd took the papers and put them in a neat stack. "So what are these for again, Odd?" Asked Ulrich.

"The papers I hold in my hand now are the very things we will use to get to know our next team before we meet them." Odd said, another grin on his face.


A/N: Hey people, just thought I'd leave you with a bit of a cliff hanger (not really, but don't judge, I'm new to this!). But I did add some struggle, not having to do with the storyline, and it's going to help me later. You'll see why soon enough… -Evil Grin- The next chapter should have my OCs IN it as opposed to just being mentioned. If not then; 100% the chapter after that. The chapters will start to feel more like the episodes soon, I can tell. Probably the chapter after that, they'll all go to Lyoko. Still might make it a bit different tough (e.g. I'll hint at breaking the 4th wall, as you saw with Odd not that long ago) -Evil Grin Again-. My "A" key has been acting up so if you guys see any mistakes like "tlk" or "re" please tell me where the mistakes are and I'll fix them ASAP. Have a great (insert approximate time between now, and the next chapter, here)! PEACE!
