Lord Maximus: I don't own Code Lyoko.
The loss
Chapter 7
Jeremy's pov
It has been at least five years since Lyoko had been destroyed and I lost Aelita when she sacrificed herself to save us and destroy Xana. Since that day nothing was the same. I have lost three important people in my life. They were always with me and helped me when no one else would.
Odd and Sissy were so depressed since that day. I hoped that we would avenge Ulrich and Yumi, but instead, even in defeat Xana got the last laugh. He left us broken down when Aelita was forced to destroy herself. Whenever I go near a computer I get the urge to break down.
It always reminded me of Aelita and the good old days. Why did have to be us? Why did we have to save the world? What did we do to lose three close friends?
Last time I checked we were defending our world from an evil psychotic computer that wanted to take over the world. I have been working day and night to find a way to bring them back. I wish I could go on with my life, but I am always reminded of them. This was the battle of good against evil, but even in defeat evil had triumphed over good, by stripping us of the closets friends we ever had.
I have been working day and night to find a way to bring them back. It wasn't easy, but I may have found a way. I have modified the Time Return Program and upgraded it. I am taking a big risk, but it is one I need to take.
Odd and I are going to take the plunge.
Normal pov
The Factory
Odd and Jeremy were in the supercomputer room. Odd no longer wore his pink and purple clothes. He wore a dark blue long sleeved shirt with black pants. Jeremy stopped wearing his glasses and a white striped blue shirt with his usual khaki jeans.
Sissy had moved away a few years after Lyoko was destroyed.
"You sure this is going to work, Jeremy?" asked Odd,
"I'm not sure, but I hope it will, Odd." said Jeremy.
He typed furiously at the keyboard. On the computer it said 'Time Return Program active. Launching simulation.'

Program success.
"Yes!" shouted Jeremy, with joy.
"Don't celebrate yet, Einstein. We still need to finish it." said Odd,
"Your right Odd, but I have been working on this for five years and now it works." said Jeremy.
"Not that I can blame you, but how will we be able to save our friends?" asked Odd,
"When we use the program we'll be back at the time when Xana was using the alien to kill Ulrich and Yumi. You need get Aelita into the right tower and hope we are not too late this time." said Jeremy.
"Okay, but Xana will still be alive." said Odd,
"But so will Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita." said Jeremy.
"You got a point there. Let's do it." said Odd.
Jeremy typed in the coordinates and prepared the program. He and Odd and entered the elevator and went down one level and the door opened. They entered the scanner room and got into the scanners. The doors closed and the scans came to life.
Odd and Jeremy were lifted up into the air and vanished in a flash of light, but they weren't the only ones. The entire planet was engulfed by a ball of white blinding light.
Lyoko
Odd and Aelita ran for the two towers that glowed red, while Xana's monsters pursued them. Odd fired his laser arrows at them as they tried to stop him and Aelita.
"Odd, hurry up!" said Jeremy,
"I know this is important, but we're not exactly having a tea party here." said Odd.
Aelita stood between the two towers, trying to pick the right one.
Yumi, Ulrich, and Sissy backed into a wall as the alien possessed by Xana walked over. It snarled at them as its tentacles wrapped around Ulrich and Yumi's necks and lifted them of the ground.
Odd pushed Aelita out of the way as hornets flew at her, firing lasers.
"Aelita, you have to choose now. I can't hold them off much longer." said Odd.
Aelita nodded and they got up. Suddenly for a second Odd got a big headache. He wasn't the only one, Jeremy also got it.
"Aelita, pick the tower on the right." said Jeremy,
"But if it is the wrong one?" asked Aelita.
"Do you trust me?" asked Jeremy.
Aelita thought for a second and nodded.
"I trust you and our friends." said Aelita.
Jeremy smiled. Aelita walked into the tower on the right. Odd smiled and jumped at the hornets. He was hit and devirtualized.
Ulrich and Yumi struggled to breath for air. The alien sneered at them.
Aelita traveled to the upper platform.
Sweat poured down Yumi and Ulrich's heads as the alien's grip tightened.
"Jeremy, if I happen to choose the wrong tower it will be all over, you know that." said Aelita,
"I have faith in you, Aelita." said Jeremy.
She placed her hand on the computer.
AELITA
CODE LYOKO
The being inside the alien decided to finish them off. Their vision started to get darker.
"Jeremy, I'm sorry. I chose the wrong one." said Aelita.
Jeremy looked at the ground as a sad look came onto his face. Aelita looked around and noticed the screens were going down.
"No, wait!" said Aelita.
A white light now engulfed the town.
"Return to the past now!" said Jeremy.
Kadic Junior High
Finson was signing autographs as Ulrich walked to his desk.
"Great idea to use the factory as a set." said Ulrich,
"Thanks, but I can't take all the credit. My ideas are, undeniably, ingenious." said Finson.
"It is a great set, but did you know that a movie was already shot there?" asked Ulrich,
"You're kidding!" said Finson.
"No, a science fiction movie, with an alien. It was a great shot." said Ulrich.
Finson glared. He walked out of the cafeteria and took out his cell phone.
"I have thought it over and I don't think the factory would be a great set, besides it wasn't even my idea in the first place. What? How dare you accuse me of lying? I could get a new agent, you know." said Finson.
Ulrich smiled and the Lyoko walked away laughing.
Jeremy's pov
Well, everything is back to normal. If you 'normal' as saving the world from Xana. Odd and I remember it and we hope that it won't ever happen again. But I did learn something. It is that Xana will never give, but neither will we.
Because when you have great friends you will always win. Sissy is back to her normal obnoxious self, which is kind of ashamed. After Xana killed Ulrich and Yumi she seemed to be grown up and responsible. She just needed someone to bring it out.
Xana is still alive, but we will always be around to stop him.
Who said that the last chapter was the ending?
You honestly think that I was going to just end it like that?
Are you crazy?
