Code: Extension
Epilogue
The gang was now in class talking about Draco, Chip, and Morph. "They seemed like nice guys," said Aelita. "To bad they couldn't hang out with us," said Odd. "I wish Chip could have stayed," said Jeremie. "I could have really used his help with Aelita's anti-virus and Franz Hopper's diary." Then the principal stepped into the room.
"May I have your attention please." All private conversation ended. "Thank you, I like to say that our school had just entered a foreign-exchange student program. Allow me to introduce your new student from Hawaii, Chixie." A girl of about 14 years of age stepped into the room. Her hair was black and had a hairclip that resembled a digital eye. She wore a metallic gray T-shirt, blue jean shorts, and sandals. She was about 5' 6 with skinny built and tanned skin. She was escorted to her seat beside Odd and sat down. Odd turned to her and said, "Hi, my name's Odd. Wanna hang out with me?" Chixie smiled and said, "Okay, but only if your friends come with you." Odd thought her voice sounded familiar but couldn't tell where he heard it. But this sounded okay to him and he agreed.
Later the gang met outside the school with Chixie. She looked around and asked, "Are we alone?" "Yes," answered Odd. "Will anybody see us?" "Nobody at all," said Ulrich. "Good," said Chixie. Her form shimmered started to fade. Then it disappeared completely and was replaced by Chip sitting on Draco's head with Morph on his back. "Tah-dah!" they said in unison. Odd yelped and fell over in a heap. Everyone else reacted in a calmer way. "What are you guys doing here?" "Well when you did that return-to-the-past thing we ended up where we were when XANA attacked us," said Chip. "But since me and Draco were in Lyoko for a while we remembered everything. Morph' we're not sure of because he wasn't officially in Lyoko. But then he again, he tends to forget things when they're over." "But how were you even able to remember? XANA possessed you the entire time," said Jeremie. "It's probably because I have two separate brains unlike other creatures. When he possessed me, he could only control the body and one brain at a time. So I was conscious about what XANA was doing but all I could do was watch. Anyway I decided that I would stay here and help you guys with your Lyoko problem. I'm highly useful when it comes to computers." "But what about your family in Hawaii?" "Don't worry about them. We've made a Chateau entrance here so we can stay in touch. That entrance is also where my home is supposed to be here. I also made up the kid that was supposed to take my place in Hawaii." "How did you do that?" asked Yumi. Chip gave her an incredulous look. "What part of 'living computer virus and super hacker' did you not get?" "Well what about Draco and Morph?" asked Aelita. "You can't have them around you all day." "I can answer that," said Draco. "Tomorrow, Chixie will bring me to class as her pet lizard. Then she'll ask the teacher if he can be the class pet while she's here. As for Morph, he can switch from being with me to being with Chixie. Any more questions?" The group shook their heads. "Good, then let me ask a question. What's with Odd?" He was still on the ground twitching. "Mental shock," answered Ulrich. "I think it surprised him a bit that a potential girlfriend was really an alien genetic experiment." "Well he wasn't my type anyway," said Chip. They all laughed at this.
Unknown to all of them, deep in the bowels of Silicon Valley, California, something was lurking. It was a meteor of some kind. But not just any meteor, this meteor was a machine. It was made of an unearthly metal and circuits could be seen across it. Suddenly a flash appeared on a screen. The electrical current seemed to quicken. A voice beeped out; "Uploading increased by 20.6. Source is Genetic Experiment 629 and Project Lyoko. Physical construction rebooting and processing." The meteor rattled and started to take a different shape.
