Author's Note: I do not own any part of Code: Lyoko, the show characters, or anything else. The only things within that I claim as my own are the created characters Aurora Xion, Treg Zorl, and Axel Blade.

Life After

Aelita enters the Polar Tower and proceeds to the center of the platform. "Ok, I'm ready." she says.
"It would be best to let me take over for a while." Treg tells Jeremy, who nods and gets out of his chair. "Alright, redirecting devirtualization to the Omega Scanners. Activating the Anti-Virus program XANA installed in them." Treg lets Aelita know his progress. "Code:Earth redirection. Activate Code: Freedom." the super calculator begins to do it's work as Treg, Aurora, Odd, Jeremy, Ulrich, and Yumi make their way to the Scanner room. Within moments after their arrival, one of the Omega Scanners opens and Aelita stands before the group, wearing the same clothes from the prom. "Well, Jeremy. You've done it." Treg tells the older boy.
"No, WE did it. The six of us did it." Jeremy confesses. "If it weren't for you all, then Aelita wouldn't have survived so many times against XANA." Aelita places her hand on Jeremy's shoulder, and a group hug commences. Spire awakens in the middle of everything.
"What's going on? Where am I?" Aurora breaks from the group and gives her brother a big hug.
"I'll explain on the way back to school." she tells him, crying with joy into his shoulder.

There's a knock at Mrs Hertz's door near the end of the day's lesson. Jim's assistant, Axel leans in and whispers something to the teacher. "Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, Treg, and Aurora. It seems that you are needed in the principal's office." Mrs Hertz announces. The five leave the room solemnly, as if off to a funeral.
"You've caused us alot of trouble, children." Axel says.
"What do you mean?" Treg asks sarcastically.
"You know full well. Destroying my Master's jewels, freeing the girl from Lyoko. But now, I can restore his secrecy." Axel pulls a gun from his jeans and levels it at Aurora's forehead. "Die, XANA's Bane! Die!" Axel fires, but the bullet never hits its mark. In fact, it seems that somehow the bullet went THROUGH Aurora and the wall and out of the building, not leaving a mark on anything. "But, how?" Axel whines.
"We are XANA's Bane. Astra's blood has set things right. Now YOU will be gone." Treg pushes Axel over, causing him to shatter against the ground.
"What just happened?" Odd asks.

The end of High School. They'd never thought it would happen, all of them together. Treg was there with them, even though he, Milly, and Tamiya had two more years to go. As the end approaches, Treg, Aurora, Spire, and the original Lyoko Team make a promise. "If we are able to, we will return to Cadic in ten years, and every ten after that." Jeremy says.
"To make sure XANA stays dead?" Aurora asks, and the others nod.
"Dead, and locked beneath the Factory forever." Odd agrees.
"The Scanners have been disconected, all five. Same with Astra's Personal Computer." Treg speaks his share, noting that Aurora and Spire gave no outward response to their great-grandfather's name.
"Guardians of a Grave." Spire nods.
"Hopefully this has been for the best." Aelita tells her friends.
"Hey Spire! Are we leaving or what?" Sissy calls from up the way, impatient to go. Spire shrugs and says goodbye to his friends, stopping in front of his sister.
"You know how to reach me." she nods and he leaves, possibly for the last time any of them will see of him.

For their Senior Pictures, Aurora and Odd had dressed in their tribal Cadic prom clothes, which barely fit either of them still. Aelita and Jeremy were just as casual as they could be, taking theirs in the same photo booth from Aelita's first night on Earth. Yumi and Ulrich had cutted out of the lines, either for the 'professional' photos or the booths, instead preffering the cameras of their parents for their last year. Spire talked Sissy into completely skipping the photos, dragging her along with him on a tour of Europe.
