A.N.: Sorry to make you think Cameron would be back(if you haven't read any of my previous stories then you won't know who this is.) And this episode will be a flashback episode. Almost the entire episode will take place in the past. But the flashback isn't from any of the older episodes so don't worry. You aren't reading something you've already read.
Code Lyoko: The Virals
Season 2
Episode 7: States Warriors Story
The Lyoko warriors were in the factory again. Jeremy and Aelita were talking to Mike about how they could find the digital world. So far they've come up with nothing. "We need to find the digital world! If the virals think the digimon are a threat, then they could be powerful allies!" Jeremy yells, obviously frustrated.
"We know Jeremy. This isn't exactly as easy as it was to find the replica we are using to fight along side you," Mike tries to calm Jeremy down.
"Hey come to think of it, how did you find it?" Jeremy asks, now calm.
"I didn't remember. It's why you're so frustrated," says Mike.
"Not the digital world! The replica! Really! You call yourself a computer whiz and you can't figure out what I meant?" Jeremy yells at Mike.
"Sorry! You were so determined to find the digital world it seemed like it was the only thing you could possibly talk about!" Mike shouts.
"Enough you two!" Aelita interrupts. "We aren't gonna get anything done with you two argueing."
Jeremy and Mike both mumble to themselves about how they're smarter than th other.
"So how did you find it Mike?" Ulrich questions the only adult in either group.
"The replica? Well I-" Mike began only to be interrupted by an offscreen voice.
"Cameron went exploring in the woods..." Phillip walks into view. "and he found a manhole cover. He opened it and realized that the manhole cover wasn't covering the entrance to a sewer system but a tunnel. He goes into the tunnel to find a short cylinder in front of a three-screen computer monitor with a keyboard off to the side, three scanners in the center of the room, and a weird machine to the other side of the room."
flashback...
A.N: This isn't a specific persons flashback. It's just basically a look into the past.
A blonde boy in his teens is walking through the forest with no destination in mind. He walks through a bush and drops his phone. When it hits the ground, it makes a metal hits metal type of sound. Curious, Cameron moves the fake bush to find a manhole cover.
He removes the cover and climbs down. He was a little surprised at what he had found, or rather, what he hadm't found. He expected to find an old sewer system that probably hasn't been used in a while, but instead he found a tunnel system.
He followed the tunnel and finds a large door at the end. He looks to the left and sees that there's a keypad. 'Password lock? What could someone be hiding down here?' He walks over to the keypad. It hadn't been the first time he needed to get past a password lock so Cameron knew exactly what to do. He pries the keypad off the wall to reveal wiring. He connects the wires together in a specific way and the wires spark, opening the door.
'Older model password locks are as easy to get past as hotwiring a car. Maybe I should try that sometime,' he thinks to himself.
He walks back to the door and goes wide-eyed at the image. he finds a short cylinder in front of a three-screen computer monitor with a keyboard off to the side, three cylinders in the center of the room, and a weird machine to the other side of the room. "Now this looks like something worth hiding."
He walks around the room, looking at the machinery, starting with the computer. He pushes a few keys to see if it will turn on. He then walks to the cylinders and looks for a button or something. After a few minutes of buttomless cylinder looking, he walks over to the machine on the side of the room. "Finally! Something that might do something!" He says as he spots a switch. He flips the switch and the whole room lights up.
The computer turns on and a hologram appears above the short cylinder. "I guess I found the light switch." Then the lights turn on. "Either I really did find the light switch or it's voice activated." He walks over to the computer and sees an image that looks exactly like the hologram above the short cylinder. Having at least some computer skills, he begins typing. "Interesting." He looks through file after file, page after page, until he finds one specific file named virtualization. "This is like a front row seat in a sci-fi movie! Or maybe a behind the scenes look."
He continues reading and after a few minutes, he says "If this is all true, I'm gonna need some help." He pulls out his phone and right before he begins dialing, he sees a program of interest. He opens the program and reads the basic details. "Sweet!" He runs the program. A number pad shows up on the screen and he dials a number.
"Hello?" A voice on the other end asks.
"Hey. Is this Phillip?" He asks.
"Yeah," replies Phillip.
"This is Cameron, you are not gonna believe what I found in the woods!"
Cameron gives Phillip instructions on how to get there and he hangs up. He then hacks into a trucking company's site and reassigns all deliveries to be made by Mike ***** to other truckers.
He dials Mike's phone with the computer and when he picks up, Cameron activates a voice disguiser program. "Don't ask why but I'm giving you the week off so go visit someone or something." He hangs up and pulls his phone back out. He dials the same number again. "Hey Mike! Why don't you come by sometime? I have something I wanna show you."
"Well I just got the week off so I guess I'll stop by," Mike falls for it.
"Okay. Call me when you get to my place, I'll give you directions from there," he hangs up.
two minutes later...
Cameron looks at the screen on the right and sees a blonde boy his age, but shorter, walking through the tunnel. Since the door closed back up, Cameron put in the password he found in the computer's database and the door opens. Phillip receives the same look on his face Cameron had when he found the place.
"Pretty cool huh?" Cameron asks. Phillip just nods.
"Launie should be here any minute too, I called him after Mike," Cameron explains.
"Launie? Mike? Who are they?" Asks Phillip.
"Launie is my other best friend. I would've called Drake but I don't think he can keep a secret and I don't know Cody's number," Cameron explains.
"And Mike?" Phillip asks again.
"Mike is a family friend. He's a trucker but I used this super-computer to get him the week off so I could show him this. I'm sure after seeing this he'll get a new job so he can stay in town. And we could really use him, he's the biggest computer whiz I know," Cameron says without taking a single breathe.
"Use him? For what?" Asks Phillip.
"Well that's a bit more unbelievable. You see, there's a sentient computer virus that lives in this super-computer, or more specifically, the virtual world is contains. And the virus is bent on taking over the world. The virtual world has a bunch of towers in it that act as gateways between the real world and the virtual world and this evil virus can activate them and cause havac in the real world," Cameron explains breifly.
"I really don't see how that's unbelievable," Phillip says sarcastically. "How would we stop it from wreaking havac? Mike hack the towers? If so...why do you need me and Launie?"
Cameron then explains the process of virtualization to him.
"This can't be real," Phillip denies reality.
"Well it is," Cameron retorts.
"How bout we just turn it off?" Asks Phillip.
"And miss the chance to see what we look like in the virtual world? Fad chance! Besides, I've found out that this is just a replica of another super-computer and I've found out that the original is still active. I would like to find out more before we shut it down because the other people could need help," Cameron explains.
"Wait what we look like? You mean we look different in there?" Asks Phillip.
"Yeah, we get new outfits like an avatar in a video-game," Cameron explains.
"Cool," Phillip says quietly.
`Cameron and Phillip turn towards the computer. "We'll need to virtualize ourselves and go to the fifth sector to find out the information we need."
"Sector?"
"There are five sectors in the virtual world. One sector, the fifth sector, surrounded by four more sectors. The mountain sector, the forest sector, the ice sector, and the desert sector. The fifth sector is where the sentient virus lives at the moment," Cameron explains.
thirty minutes later...
Launie has joined them and Cameron has explained everything to him. Cameron's phone begins to ring. He answers it. "You there?"
"Yeah." Cameron then gives Mike directions.
two minutes later...
Cameron sees Mike in the right screen. He opens the door and Mike gains the same expression on his face the others had when they first saw the room. Cameron explains it to him and Mike sits down at the chair.
"So can you get a job in town so you can stay a help us out?" Asks Cameron.
Mike thinks for a few moments. "Sure."
The three teens cheer as if they just won a game.
`"Let's go!" Cameron urges the new team.
"Go? Now?" Asks Phillip.
"Yes now. I wanna see our virtual selves," Cameron says.
Launie nods and gets in a scanner. Cameron gets in the scanner closest to the computer and Phillip gets in the final scanner. "Transfer Cameron. Transfer Launie. Transfer Phillip. Scanner Cameron. Scanner Launie. Scanner Phillip. VIrtualization!"
in the replika's sector five...
Three boys appear. Cameron, Launie, and Phillip take off down the corridor. They reach a large room. "There! We need to get to that key!" Cameron points to a key.
"Got it, but what are those?" Asks Phillip.
"Those would be servants to the sentient virus known as X.A.N.A." Cameron answers Phillip.
A.N.: The monsters here are creepers.
"Oh," Phillip says nervously.
"Aim for the symbol!" Cameron yells as he takes off towards the key. He materializes a pair of swords like Launie's and slices at every monster that gets in his way. Phillip pulls his machine gun out of its holster and follows Cameron and shoots every monster he sees. Launie pulls out his swords and does the same.
Cameron reaches the key and triggers the mechanism. They head through the new corridor and come to an elevator. The elevator takes them to the celestial dome and Cameron accesses the panel that appears at the end of the platform. Some new monsters appear and begin firing at the team.
"More monsters?" Phillip complains.
"Yeah and these ones look like mantas," Launie states matter of factly.
"Protect me! It'll take some time for me to find the information!" Cameron commands. He materializes a couple of hoverboards for his teammates.
"Got it!" Phillip obeys and jumps on the closest hoverboard. He rides it up and shoots three mantas while Launie gets on his hoverboard and flies by and slices four mantas. Every time a manta fires at Cameron, Launie flies in front of the laser and blocks it.
"Got it! Now let's get outta here!" Cameron commands.
He materializes himself a hoverboard and hops on it. He then flies off towards a tunnel, followed by Launie and Phillip.
"Guys! A tower has just activated! Get to the ice sector!" Yells Mike.
They come out of the tower the tunnel took them to and find themselves already in the ice sector.
They arrive at the tower to find four monsters.
A.N.: The monsters are krabbes.
in the real world...
There's a pounding on the door. Mike looks at the right screen and sees Cameron's dad pounding on the door.
A.N.: X.A.N.A. has lost power due to the Lyoko warriors almost destroying him. He still has enough power to possess people but not enough to make them ghost through walls.
"Come on! Hurry up!" Mike, now anxious for to test the return to the past, not because it would be cool but because he wants to get out of his situation. He launches a delayed scan and hops in a scanner. the scanner doors close and Mike is then scanned into the super-computer's database. The scanner doors open up to reveal the room's door being busted open. "Oh god."
in the ice sector...
Launie jumps on a krabbes back and stabs it with both pf his swords and destroys it. Phillip jumps over a krabbe and shoots the symbol, thus, destroying it. Cameron then materializes a hoverboard and flies over the krabbes and throws a sword at one krabbe and materializes a red ball of energy and fires it at the las krabbe. He runs to the tower and enters it. He floats up to the second floor. He finds a panel floating above the floor. He places his hand on the panel and it says 'Unknown' "Oh right!" He pulls up another panel and runs a program.
earlier that day, after Mike arrived...
A.N: This is after a return to the past.
"It's a really good thing the tower didn't activate until after we went to sector five because only a certain person can deactivate the tower so I just created a program simulating her DNA,"
"Sector five?" Asks Launie.
"Yeah. X.A.N.A. had faced other kids before coming to this super-computer. They called that sector sector five in their virtual world. One of them is the person that can deactivate the towers. We need to find that person to get more accurate DNA samples because the ones we can use now will decay. And the only way to get to the original super-computer is through the internet unless you wanna fly halfway around the world."
"?"
"The original super-computer is in France," Cameron says with enthusiasm.
back in real-time...
"Wow. Your super-computer compound is like all three of ours levels put into one," says Jeremy.
"That's the only thing you're surprised about? They went through a lot in the first attack. Just imagine how ruthless the rest were," says William.
"William? When did you get here?" Asks Odd.
"Just about when Jeremy said 'We need to find the digital world! If the virals think the digimon are a threat, then they could be powerful allies!'" William Replies.
"That was even before they stated talking about what happened! And it was pretty long. How did I not notice you?" Asks Odd.
"You don't notice anything but breakfast luch and dinner," Ulrich mocks Odd.
"Don't forget brunch, desert and snacks," Yumi added.
Everyone but Odd laughed. Odd just mumbled about how they shouldn't use his stomach against him.
