A Code Lyoko Novel
Chapter 38: the virtual land
place: Lyoko (polar region)
current life point totals: Aelita 70 Ulrich: 60 Yumi 50 Amy 30 Odd 20
It had been a fierce Lyoko battle so far. Many monsters were already destroyed but there were still some blocks left. Ulrich avoided the lasers as he ran up to one of the blocks and destroyed it with his sword at the same time Amy pointed her wand at one of the other blocks and when the shot hit its target that block was destroyed as well but before she cold react one of the other blocks fired a shot that hit her back and knocked her down (Amy 20 LP)
"You need to get Aelita to the tower" Jeremie exclaimed
"I'll take care of that" Odd said as he was avoiding lasers from a pair of blocks. He then fired a pair of arrows at the blocks they both hit there target and the blocks were destroyed.
"let's get you to the tower" Odd told Aelita as they both started to run towards the tower. There was however a pair of blocks between them and the tower and soon Jeremie told them "there are 2 blocks ahead of you"
"I'll be right back" Odd said as he ran ahead. He then preformed two well timed jumps to avoid the lasers, then mid-jump he fired a pair of arrows at the block and they both hit there target destroying both the blocks.
After landing on the ground he started doing a little victory dance as he said "how does he do it, he's Amazing"
"Odd" Jeremie exclaimed trying to get his attention but he was not listening. He then said "there's a 3rd block"
"A 3rd block" Odd commented as he stopped to look for it just in time to see the blast hit him, the force of the shot knocked him down (Odd 10 LP)
"should I take care of that block for you?" Amy asked (20)
"Not necessary, I got this" Odd told her as he ran towards the block
"Odd it's too risky you only have 10 life points left" Jeremie warned him
"10 is plenty" Odd commented as he avoided the blocks shot by sliding on the ice and ducking under the blast. He then fired a pair of arrows at the block. They both hit the monster and it exploded into pixels and vanished.
Odd then turned around after and saw the others coming.
"That was amazing" Amy exclaimed (20)
Odd then said " what did I tell you. Next time just sit back and let the real pros take care of this"
"You said it; you're the man" Amy replied
the others then gave them both an angry look
"What?" Odd asked
"Odd is a pro" Amy commented
"I'll deactivate the tower" Aelita commented as she walked towards the tower
"I was only joking" Odd told the others
"I think there a little jealous" Amy whispered
Aelita
Code Lyoko
Jeremie then said "return to the past now"
after the return trip
Place: Amy's room
Amy's outfit: a pink sweater and a light pink skirt.
Amy just finished getting dressed and looked at her electronic clock. The red numbers said 6:35.
"Wow it's early" Amy commented as she grabbed her diary and started writing in it.
entry #165, April 9th
We just stopped XANA yet again. Odd did fantastic today he was destroying those blocks easily. I wish I was that talented at fighting the monsters but I'm not that's why I tend to stick to protecting Aelita. For some reason the others got mad at Odd after he celebrated his victory I'm not sure why but I hope they don't stay mad at him to long. I think I will talk about this to Jeremie.
she then closed the book and pulled out her CD player and starting listing to her copy of "the big room" by M2M.
later that day
Place: Mrs. Hertz class
Mrs. Hertz was currently taking attendance
"Emilie" Mrs. Hertz said
"here" Emilie replied
meanwhile Amy was talking to Odd
"I tried to ask Jeremie why they got mad at you but he won't talk to me for some reason" Amy commented
"I'm not surprised after the way the two of you acted" Ulrich told her
"Can we talk about it" Odd asked Jeremie
Jeremie said nothing
"someone I know told me he who does a great job earns the right to boast and or taunt" Amy said
"Is there anything the 3 of you would like to share with the rest of the class?" Mrs. Hertz asked
"yes there is" Amy replied.
"we're listening" Mrs. Hertz replied.
Amy then started singing "I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
sat by the river and it made me complete"
"Amy stop singing" Mrs. Hertz exclaimed
"You were the one that asked me to share it with the rest of the class" Amy replied
"just keep quiet and let me teach" Mrs. Hertz told her
Mrs. Hertz was currently taking attendance
while this was happening Jeremie said "great job you all did great"
Just after he said that Mrs. Hertz called Amy's name but there was no answer
"Amy's not here, that's strange" after looking at the class she said "Odd and Ulrich are missing too, how strange"
"I wonder where they are" Jeremie thought to himself
"Jeremie do you have any idea where your friends are?" Mrs. Hertz asked
Jeremie did not say anything he just left the room. He then ran over to where Yumi's class was taking place and peeked in the window. When he noticed Yumi was not there he said "that's strange Yumi's not here either"
"maybe she's out sick" someone behind Jeremie said
Jeremie turned around and saw Milly standing there
"What brings you here?" Jeremie asked
"running an errand for my teacher" Milly explained. She then said "one more thing if you see Amy can you tell her that I'm done listening to the CD she let me borrow and she can have it back now"
"Have you checked her room?' Jeremie asked
"yes. She was not there. I even tried calling her but she won't answer her phone. If you see her can you please tell her to call me"
Milly then stated walking towards one of the buildings
Jeremie then ran towards the dorms and was soon outside Odd and Ulrich's room. He opened the door and entered the room but found it empty. After finding the room empty he ran to his room and contacted Aelita
As soon as Aelita's window popped up Jeremie said "please tell me Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and Amy are with you"
"No didn't they return to your world after the return trip" Aelita asked
"no they did not" Jeremie exclaimed
Aelita then quickly said "goodbye" and her window went away
Jeremie turned around to see what made Aelita end the conversation and saw Jim standing in the doorway
"Why are you not in class?" Jim asked
It's finally lunchtime" Amy exclaimed as they walked towards the Cafeteria
"I know what you mean class was boring today" Odd commented
"anything else you want to comment on" Ulrich asked sarcastically
"I hope they have ham and cheese" Amy replied
after Amy said that Yumi walked up to them and said "something strange happened in my class"
"You're lucky nothing happened in my class" Amy commented
"can you be serious for a minute?" Yumi asked
"I'll think about it" Amy replied
"So what happened?" Odd asked
"well during the lesson the teacher stopped talking for a little bit and it looked like she was starting to vanish, bit it only lasted a few seconds after that she repeated the last few things she said and everything went back to normal" Yumi explained
"I can explain it" Amy replied
"really" Odd replied
Amy then said "you probably just fell asleep in class. It happens to all of us. I once fell asleep in my first period class and had a dream I was in my final class I was just about to go home when I woke up and realized it was only 1st period"
"I'm telling you it was not a dream" Yumi replied
"Do you think it was XANA?" Ulrich asked
"doesn't it take a few days before XANA is able to attack again?' Amy asked
"XANA is not attacking" Jeremie stated
"Let's just get some lunch, we can worry about XANA later" Amy commented
In Lyoko (desert region)
Aelita was searching for any sings of where the others were. She looked around but there was no one there, not even any monsters.
"there's no one here" Aelita commented to herself, just after that she felt some pulsations
"XANA" Aelita exclaimed (100)
She then enters a tower and transfers to the mountain region to continue her search. Aelita exits the tower in the mountain region and runs down a narrow path. After a wile she stops to look around but still nothing.
"Where could they be?" Aelita asked herself
pace: Principal's office
"Do you know where Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and Amy are?" the principal asked
"no sir I don't know where they are" Jeremie told him
"the 5 of you are always together. You must know something" Jim commented
"I don't know where they are" Jeremie told them
then the principal said "Jeremie this is serious everyone is very concerned. Do you know where Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and Amy are?"
"No sir I don't" Jeremie said
"Can I try?" Sara asked
"good luck" Jim told her
at that time Jeremie noticed Aelita was trying to contact him
"I'm sure Odd, Ulrich and Yumi's parents are very worried. I know I am. If there is anything you know about where they could possibly be please let us know" Sara told Jeremie
"All right I'll think about it but I need to be alone" Jeremie replied
"You got some nerve, but if it's the only way I'll give you 3 minutes" the principal told him
"thank you sir" Jeremie replied
He then walked into the empty hallway and contacted Aelita
"I felt you message what's new?" Jeremie asked
"I checked Lyoko but they're not here. There is an activated tower however I can't seem to find it" Aelita told him. She then said "I could use your help please come to the factory"
"I can't, I'm stuck in the principal's office" Jeremie replies
"Don't worry I'll help you out of there" Aelita told him
"how?" Jeremie asked
then Aelita said "just like XANA I can operate on the school's network as well. Now here's my plan"
meanwhile back in the office
"I'm sure Jeremie knows more then he's telling us" the principal commented
"What if he's telling the truth?" Sara asked
"should we call the police? Jim asked
Jeremie then entered the room and said "I thought it over I'll tell you were they are"
"So you do know" Sara commented
students were chatting about various things as they ate their lunch.
"Why is Jeremie sitting at a different table?' Amy asked
"probably for the same reason you ate lunch in your room for a week" Ulrich replied
"I'm sorry Jeremie" Amy exclaimed
then Odd said "Oh hey Sissi did you use canary feathers in the washing machine instead of soap"
"For your information yellow is the in color this year" Sissi told him
"I thought it was purple" Amy commented as Sissi left
Odd then started laughing
"You do know that being mean to her does not help if we want her to be nicer" Amy told Odd
"maybe you're right" Odd replied
at this time the last 10 seconds repeated and Sissi once again said "for your information yellow is the in color this year"
"We heard you the first time" Amy replied
"It just happened again" Yumi exclaimed
"you're right something is wrong here" Ulrich commented
"Everything seams normal to me" Amy told the others
Meanwhile Jeremie was keeping a close eye on them
place: boiler room
"there's no one here" the principal commented
"You'll need to wait a little bit, they will be here any minute now" Jeremie replied
at this time the pressure was starting to build up in the boiler
"well where are they?" the principal asked
"I need to give Saria a report of what happened and I would like to have more to say then I don't know" Sara commented
at this time the boiler blew and all 3 adults ran out of the room allowing Jeremie to use the secret passage to the factory.
Once things settled down the adults re-entered the room but Jeremie was already gone
"He's gone" Jim commented
"that's impossible he could not have just disappeared" the principal commented
"What am I going to tell Saria?" Sara asked
meanwhile Jeremie was on his way to the factory
soon he entered the elevator and put his headset on after pushing the button.
he then said "Aelita" to get her attention
"Yes Jeremie" Aelita answered
"Thanks for helping me get out of there" Jeremie told her
Aelita then said "I hop you realize If you don't detect anything alive on the scanners then.."
"We'll find out soon enough" Jeremie said before she could finish
The elevator cam to a stop on the scanner lever and the door opened. Jeremie then looked at all 3 scanners. They were all empty.
"empty" Jeremie said to himself as he got back on the elevator. He then took the elevator up to the computer level. After sitting down next to the computer he asked Aelita "If there not here and there not in Lyoko where could they possibly be?"
"Jeremie just before you got here I found this strange video clip. It looks like a TV transmission but it's really weird. Let me show you" Aelita told him
another window popped up and the footage started playing
Jim was leading his class outside
"alright let's go" Jim told the students
"what" Jeremie exclaimed as he saw the footage
"Let's start with a little stretching" Jim instructed the students
meanwhile Odd and Amy were both laughing
"Hey that's crazy" Jeremie exclaimed
Jim was making the class do various exercises meanwhile Yumi who was not part of the class was watching them. Herve then suddenly said "hey watch what you're doing you did that on purpose" then they flicked and the same thing happened again. As Herve tried to kick the other student Yumi turned her attention to Jeremie who was sitting on the bench working on his computer"
"what am I watching they did not come back to earth" Jeremie stated
"what if what we're watching is a recording?" Aelita asked
"how can that be I'm in the picture" Jeremie exclaimed
"there are strange things happening" Yumi commented, she then asked "any word from Aelita?"
"I'm having trouble contacting her. I don't know if there's an activated tower or not but if XANA tries anything I'll let you know" Jeremie told her
"Why are you not in gym class?" Yumi asked
"Jim agreed to excuse me" Jeremie replied
"really. You're not exactly a star athlete" Yumi commented
"You just need to know how to handle him" Jeremie explained
He then looked at the class and saw Jim was making Odd, Ulrich and Amy do push-ups. Jim then turned to wave at Jeremie and then turned his attention back to the class
"not like them" Jeremie told Yumi
"incredible" Yumi commented as she walked away
"That's not a tape it's happening somewhere right now. There not in Lyoko or on Earth they are somewhere else" Jeremie explained
"I know but I checked the transfer proto call data and unless a short of parallel world exist. There's no such thing as an intermediate space" Aelita told him
Jeremie then said "unless XANA made one. That's it a world parallel to Lyoko designed to look like the school. XANA could not have made a better trap they think there at the school but it's only an illusion . They are living under XANA's control completely at his mercy. We must save them find where the signal is coming from"
"I tried to but the signal is scrambled all we have is a sound wave and not the actual signal" Aelita explained
"then that is what we must use. We must make a program to guide the scanner to the source using a trial and error system" Jeremie explained
"but that's crazy and you know it plus who will do it we're all alone" Aelita replied
"I will. If you take over the controls then I can go" Jeremie told her
"It's too dangerous" Aelita replied
Jeremie then said " but we can't leave the others at the mercy of XANA. Think about it if I'm here in front of you who's the other Jeremie? Aelita there's something I want to tell you. I much rather enter a virtual world to find you waiting there for me"
"So would I" Aelita quietly replied
Jeremie then put the headset down and walked towards the elevator.
Jeremie then took the elevator down to the scanner level. As he approached the scanner Aelita told him "It's OK I prepared the transfer procedure you can enter the scanner now"
Jeremie entered the scanner and was soon transferred to XANA's fake version of the school. He appeared in mid-air and immediately fell to the ground.
Jeremie then said "Aelita can you hear me?"
there was no answer
"Of course not that would be too easy" Jeremie complained as he walked towards the school.
meanwhile the other Jeremie was tracking his location on his computer
"there he is al last" the fake Jeremie commented.
at that moment Jim entered the room
"We have a visitor Jim" Jeremie told him
Lyoko (polar region)
"that's probably it. I should get a closer look" Aelita commented when she saw what looked like a big red bubble in the middle of one of the paths.
Aelita then starting running down the path towards this mysterious red bubble
"Then how do you explain what Yumi saw?" Ulrich asked
"How many times do I need to tell you she probably just fell asleep and had a strange dream" Any replied
"then why is Jeremie acting strange?" Ulrich asked
"because he's mad at Odd and me, just like you mentioned earlier after Jeremie yelled at me I ate lunch in my room for a week" Amy explained
"and besides it's not like Jeremie is hiding a big secret" Odd commented
"actually he is, we all are. It's called Lyoko" Amy replied
Ulrich was about to say something when his phone started ringing. He notices it's Yumi calling and answers right away
"How are things Yumi?" Ulrich asked her
"not too good. It's happening again this time at my own home" Yumi exclaimed
"What's happening?" Ulrich asked
"It's my parents they are acting very strange. They just keep making the same jesters and they are acting like I'm not even here. I think they are imposters of my really mom and dad" Yumi explained
"you better not stay there. We'll meat at the park and go to the factory. I'll warn Jeremie" Ulrich told her
"No not Jeremie for some reason I don't trust him. We'll just leave him out of it this time. I have my doubts, see you" Yumi says before ending the call
"Is it XANA?" Amy asked
"definitely" Ulrich told her
"Ok so I'm wrong. I never said I was right" Amy commented
meanwhile the real Jeremie was in the dorm approaching Odd and Ulrich's room
"Let's hope they are in their room" Jeremie commented to himself
He then turned and saw Jim, before Jeremie could react Jim grabbed him and pushed him down the hall. He then started walking towards Jeremie who did the only thing he could, he ran
Jim chased him down the hall making growling noises in the process
Lyoko
"I only hope it's not too late" Aelita commented as she ran closer to the red dome-like bubble.
"What about Jeremie?" Yumi asked
"If you don't want Jeremie to be part of this I can fill in for him again. I did some training and I'm ready to prove I can do better" Amy told them
"I say we let her" Odd commented
"let's just go already" Amy commented as they entered the tunnel
meanwhile Jeremie was running and saw them enter the tunnel. He then stopped but was too far away for them to notice, by the time he got there they were already gone
"I'm too late" Jeremie commented
A few seconds later Jim found him and Jeremie was once again forced to run and soon he was approaching Herve and Nicolas. They had the same strange look Jim had and they were growling at him. Jeremie quickly ran past them . They growled in anger and started chasing after Jeremie as well
Lyoko
Aelita finally made it to the red dome-like bubble
"no doubt about it, this is defiantly were XANA has trapped them" Aelita said to herself.
She then stopped to think about what to do next.
later that day
Place- the factory
"It's not working. I don't understand I'm doing everything right" Amy commented
"It's almost like Lyoko does not exist anymore" Yumi commented
"and that may be exactly what happened" Jeremie commented from behind them
"What are you saying?" Amy asked nervously as she got off the chair and walked towards Jeremie
"I got a message from Aelita something about a program to erase Lyoko. I have not heard from her since" Jeremie explained
"That's all I need to hear" Amy stated to say
"wait if the link is cut how are we going to get to Lyoko?" Yumi asked
"I created a new access proto call, all we need now are the scanners" Jeremie replied
"Then what are we waiting for" Odd commented
"Hold it Odd, I'm not sure of this" Yumi said
"Look if Lyoko gets erased I'm pretty sure that would be the end of Aelita. Do you want that to happen? Well I know I don't Aelita is my friend and I'm not just going to stand here and let her get deleted" Amy commented
"Yumi you need to believe me but if you have your doubts you can be transferred after the others" Jeremie told her
"and besides how can you not trust Jeremie, he's not a liar. You can trust him I know I do" Amy commented
the elevator then opened and Jeremie stepped out of the elevator
"Yumi your right it's a trap, don't go" he commented
"Two of you. Jeremie did you clone yourself?" Amy asked
"No I did not clone myself, that other Jeremie is an imposter" the Jeremie by the elevator stated
"Is that the best you can do XANA a cheap imitation to delay us" the other Jeremie replied
"He's lying the phony is him, everything here is phony. You never came back from your last trip. You are in a virtual world created by XANA" Jeremie told them
"that would explain the weird things that have been happening" Yumi commented
"of course it would. XANA can make mistakes too his knowledge of our world is only the theoretical . What he wants is to get you in the scanners to get rid of you once and for all" the Jeremie by the elevator told them
"That's crazy XANA" the other Jeremie said
"I'm not sure which Jeremie to trust anymore" Amy commented
"We have no proof that he's not the one causing the problems here" Ulrich said
"exactly to hold us up while Aelita and Lyoko are being erased forever" Odd commented
"The only proof is the fact that I'm here with you. You must decide who's lying" the Jeremie by the elevator said
the other Jeremie then said "and it's not me. You claim this world is virtual, then how did you get here. We're listening XANA"
"I got here via the scanner. I'm here in virtual form" the Jeremie by the elevator replied
"You just gave yourself away. The real Jeremie would not enter the scanner. He'd be much to frightened" the other Jeremie replied
"and I'm sure he would go in the scanner if his friends were in danger" Odd commented
"No doubt about it" Ulrich said
"absolutely none" Yumi stated
"You're right Odd he would" Amy said as she turned towards the fake Jeremie
"but it's not logical. Don't you see. He's much to scared to even try. I'm much to scared..." the fake Jeremie told them
"That's enough from you. Give up you lost we know you're an imposter now" Amy told the fake Jeremie. She then turned around and said "I'm sorry I did not believe you Yumi"
"but it's not logical" the fake Jeremie exclaimed
"As I said his knowledge of people is only approximate" Jeremie commented
"that's right it's good to see you again Einstein" Odd told him
"Not logical" the fake Jeremie exclaimed a few times before glowing red. He then floated up about 4 feet in the air and then pointed towards Odd, Ulrich and Yumi. Then the fake versions of Jim, Herve and Nichols appeared behind them and they soon had Odd, Ulrich and Yumi constrained. Then the fake Jeremie made the floor crack and wires came out trapping Jeremie
"You let them go right now" Amy exclaimed
"You think you can beat me" the fake Jeremie snapped
"I must try those are my friends" Amy told him
"you're next" the fake Jeremie told Amy
"Aelita" Jeremie screamed as he tried to free himself from the wires
meanwhile in the polar region Aelita was somehow able to hear Jeremie scream and then was sent flying back about 30 feet. Aelita then looked at the red dome-bubble completely surprised by what happened
while this was happening the fake Jeremie did the same to Amy that he did to Jeremie and soon Amy was trapped by wires as well
"can't we talk about this" Amy asked nervously
"No I will destroy you all" the faked Jeremie replied
back in Lyoko
Aelita ran back over to the bubble and used her special power right next to the red dome-bubble. Soon the dome burst and there was a red glowing light shooting straight up.
back with the others
the fake Jeremie suddenly vanished, after that so did the fake Jim, Herve, and Nichols and Odd, Ulrich and Yumi fell to the ground. Next the wires went back in the ground and Amy fell to the ground, however Jeremie went up instead of down and about 5 seconds later he was in the scanner. The door opened and Jeremie fell out of the scanner, after realizing where he was he took the elevator up to the computer level and sat down by the computer.
he then put the headset back on and asked "Are you OK Aelita?"
"I'm fine don't worry" Aelita replied
"I'm glad that's over" Jeremie commented
"there all here safe and sound and the parallel world bubble is gone" Aelita told him
in Lyoko
"I feel great" Odd exclaimed
"I don't remember anything" Amy commented
"Aelita what happened?" Ulrich asked
"XANA created a replica of where you live so you would think it was reality" Aelita explained
"he locked us up in a virtual prison" Yumi replied
"but Jeremie and I did all we could to set you free" Aelita explained
"Jeremie came to Lyoko?" Odd asked
"Yes" Aelita replied
"fantastic. join the daredevil hero's club" Odd told him
"membership has its advantages" Amy added
"Thanks but I'd rather not" Jeremie replied
the computer then showed monster activity.
"XANA's welcoming committee is coming" Jeremie told them
they looked and saw several blocks approaching them
"How many are there?" Amy asked
"27" Jeremie replied
"don't worry Jeremie we can handle this" Ulrich commented as they charged towards the monsters
"Wait for me" Amy replied as she ran towards the monsters ready to battle the blocks
((((((((((((end chapter)))))))))))))
Milly: well that is where "ghost channel" ends, and besides writing a battle scene with that many blocks is not easy, well anyways that concludes the longest chapter of the story so far, and I have good news those two comedy chapters top20fan13 talked about are next as a bonus chapter. The chapter is not part of the story, it's just two short stories as a thank you for reading the story, well anyways this has been Milly reporting for "A Code Lyoko Novel". see you next chapter
