Disclaimer: I bought Code: LYOKO on E-bay! (J/k)

Christine: No you didn't. I tried and it didn't work. (Sighs)

Mania: (muttering) Rich snob…..

Christine: What'd you call me?

Mania: Um….Nothing!

Aelita: Calm, Mania, calm…..

Mania: (rolls eyes) Whatever, Mom…..

The First Fight

Christine's P.O.V.

Since I was 'virtualized' last, I got to see everyone else's costumes first….Mania had on a brown top that looked like really soft leather and white pants with ribbons running in criss-crosses all over them to the bottom. She still had her bright pink hair, though. Emily had an outfit that matched her hair-same color, same shade. She had a bow and arrows and looked like a cat. Justin was in a green samurai outfit. He had a sword and looked pretty much the same as ever. I was wearing a long icy blue stripped dress……I had wings…….Like what you would expect a fairy to have. I also had these two fans tucked into my sash…...I don't know what good they were going to do-I mean, what would I be guarding against? Heat? Then we all saw the monster things. They were flying straight toward us. All of a sudden, Mania turned and ran behind a snow bank. It was all full of snow here, I wonder if the whole place was like this…..Anyway, Justin turned around and called her a coward. She got mad and pointed out the fact that she didn't have any weapons. Tyler started yelling about hornets and life points and then Emily started laughing and I could barely hear myself think. I glared at a block of ice near Justin and all of a sudden it lifted into the air. I gasped.

"You guys, look!" Emily shouted at Justin and Mania who were still fighting. They stopped and stared at it. I concentrated on sending it toward the flying bug-things. It lifted and two flew away after it killed two of the things.

"Go Christine!" Justin yelled up to me. I blushed and hoped no one could see me from way up here. Emily started laughing again.

"You guys, quiet for a second!" Tyler yelled from above us. We shut up. "I have to tell you what your weapons are."

"I know what I've got!" Emily yelled in the general direction of the sky.

"Yes, but most of you don't. Christine, in addition to telekinesis, you have two fans that, when they're thrown, turn into razors." I nod. He continues, "Justin, you have a sword and you can 'triplicate' or make three clones of you. You can also 'Triangulate' or make a triangle of three clones." Justin nods as well, "Mania, you are the most confusing."

"Well, gee, thanks." Mania mutters to herself.

"You can create things out of the air……Or on the ground. It also says you can 'de-activate' towers. I don't know what that means or how you do it."

"Gee, you're a great help. Now I'm even more confused." Mania replies.

Mania's P.O.V.

What is that supposed to mean? 'De-activating towers'. I feel like I'm in some extremely lame sci-fi movie. Christine looked like a perfect little fairy, Justin looked like a geek, and Emily was a cat. So what was I dressed as? I looked ridiculous. I mean, even Mom wouldn't wear something this ridiculous. Oh, well, at least it was comfortable. I saw something that looked…..Wrong, somehow. A huge tower had a bunch of red rays coming out of it….Everything clicked into place. It was a tower and I had to get to it before it was too late. Too late for what……I didn't want to think about that.

"Everyone." I said quietly. Everyone heard me for some reason. "That," I said clearly, "Is a tower. I have to get there before it's too late." For some reason, they all listened to me. Well, except for Christine who looked extremely confused. I ran toward the tower, Emily on my left and Justin on my right. Christine was following behind us. When we got there, I didn't know what to do. I guess I was supposed to jump in or something…..

"What now?" Christine asked me snootily.

"I don't know. I'm taking a wild guess." I told her. I walked straight up to it and pushed my body inside. It was beautiful. Deep blue all around and little screens everywhere. I could only imagine how much information there was here…..I was snapped out of my daydreaming when Tyler asked me what was wrong.

"Nothing, it's just so beautiful….." I replied, trailing off at the end. I walked to the center of the floor I was on. All of a sudden I was floating toward the next floor. I struggled for a minute and then stopped because I needed to save my strength. I arrived at the top and a screen appeared in the middle. I walked over to it and put my hand on it... I guess it was pure instinct…..Anyway, my name popped up on the screen. Then it said 'Code'. I didn't know what the password was.

"Tyler?" I called.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Do you know what the password is?"

"Um……The only thing I can find says Code: Earth."

"Okay." I entered Earth underneath where it said code. Another wind blew me up and the next thing I knew I was falling out of a scanner.

Justin's P.O.V.

I didn't know what was wrong. I mean, we were doing everything she asked us to, right? All of a sudden, we were back in the factory….Everyone but Mania. We didn't know where she was. Tyler told us to wait there in the room for her. A few minutes later, the scanner opened and she fell out right into Emily's arms. She set her down on the ground and we all crowded around, trying to see what was wrong. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes.

"Wha-what happened?" She asked me. She looked so frail, almost like she'd break if I touched her.

"You entered the code that brought everyone back." We all jumped. We hadn't realized Tyler was standing behind us.

"Then what code was I supposed to enter?" She asked him angrily. I stared at them. I had no idea what was going on.

"Come on, we need to get you back to school." I told her. She tried to stand but almost fell over. Tyler and Emily each grabbed one of her arms and helped her stand. She looked pretty sick. I went and held the elevator open for them. After they got in, Mania sat down and fell asleep. Tyler asked us to let him off at the computer room; he wanted to work on the computer and try to find the code. By the time we got to the top, Mania claimed to be feeling better and even managed to stand up on her own. We all wanted to help her climb the ropes but she insisted on doing it by herself. She was perfectly fine by the time we were back on the bridge.

Emily's P.O.V.

Lyoko was a lot of fun. It's too bad Mania got sick. Well, we were almost out after we were supposed to be when we got back to the dorms. I had to dorm with that annoying boy….Justin. Of course, his parents were still there when we got back and wondering where he had gone to. We all stood up for him. They seemed kind of familiar to me…..The tall woman with black hair and the man with brown hair. I saw them looking strangely at Mania…..Kinda like she reminded them of someone. Right as they were about to leave, Dad's car drove up. I didn't see him at first. Then I looked up and he was getting out.

"Daddy! Daddy!" I yelled as I ran toward him. He looked up and saw me running toward him. He opened his arms wide and hugged me.

"I thought you weren't going to make it in time." I told him.

"The plane from the States was a lot faster than I thought it was going to be." He replied.

"I made some friends." I told him happily.

"Really? Where are they?" He asked me, scanning the crowd for someone who looked like me.

"They're right over there." I said, pointing at a bench where we'd found Justin's parents. They were still talking to him.

"Hey, guys!" I yelled. They turned and looked at me, "This is my Dad." Justin's parents turned to look and their mouths dropped at exactly the same time.

"O-odd?" His mom finally asked. Dad's mouth had dropped open when he heard her voice.

"Yumi?" He asked as he stared at them. What in the world was going on? Dad walked over to them and stared at Justin.

"He looks just like you, Ulrich." He told Justin's dad. I could tell everyone was just as confused as I was. Especially Christine. She looked just about ready to faint.

"How have you been?" Justin's dad asked him. Dad sat down on the bench next to him.

"Good. I got married and had Emily. I have a job in a record label. How have you guys been?"

"Great. We married the year after we left Kadic. Ulrich worked for the professional soccer league until last year."

"Sorry to cut in, but how do you guys know each other?" I asked them, completely bewildered.

"Oh, we used to be friends when we were kids." Dad told me, "Have either of you guys heard from Jeremie or Aelita?"

"How do you know my parents?" Mania asked. They all stared at her.

"What?" she asked.

"She looks just like Aelita." Mrs. Stern finally said.. Dad agreed with her.

Tyler's P.O.V.

I don't get it. This stupid computer is driving me nuts! None of the codes I tried worked. Then I tried the last thing I could think of. It worked. I ran back into the elevator and all the way back to the school.

"You guys! You guys, I found the right code!" I walked up not noticing the adults.

"The password is Lyoko!" I exclaimed.

"How did you kids find out about Lyoko?" I heard a voice say behind me.
