Lord Maximus: I don't own Code: Lyoko.

Summary: It started with the final battle against Xana when a seemingly new foe appears out of nowhere. Now the gang must continue to fight when they discover the origins of Project Carthage.


Yumi lay down in her bed and stared at the ceiling. For a long time she imagined what it was like to have a normal life. She imagined herself and her friends finally having one when Xana was destroyed. She was so sick of lying and keeping secrets.

Now they had to deal with Project Carthage. As she lay in her bed a dull pain suddenly rushed to her head. She grabbed her head as the pain started to intensify very quickly. She squeezed her head as she groaned in pain.

She looked over her room and her eyes rested on her computer. She fell off her bed and rolled on the floor. As the pain started to increase she continued to roll on the floor. She suddenly stopped and closed her eyes.

It looked like she blacked out for a few seconds and then she stood up. She looked at her computer and walked over to it. She sat down and turned it on. After a few minutes of waiting she started to type.

It looked like she was free from the pain.

"Excellent. Everything is ready. Now all that is left is to wait for Project Carthage to make her move." muttered the black haired girl.

With that said she switched off her computer and walked over to her bed. The hard look on her features faded as she gasped for air and collapsed head first into her bed. Not aware of the mysterious presence that had controlled her.
