Code Lyoko: A World Without Danger

By. Tate Icasa

Yumi appeared in the living room of her house, while her parents were watching television. She appeared behind them a nd stood for a minute.

Then she tilted her head and smiled.

"Hey." She said.

Her parents turned quickly.

"Who are you?" Her father asked.

"How'd you get in here?" Her mother asked.

"Mom, dad, it's me, Yumi." She said. She chose not to answer the second question.

"Ridiculous," Her father said. "Yumi has been missing for two years, and would be sixteen. You must be at least twenty."

Yumi let her hear down. "That's the problem with time travel." She said. She could tell they didn't believe her. She sighed. "When I was four yers old, I heard a dog howl at night and for a week I was convinced there was apck of wolves living in the backyard."

"Yumi?" Her mother asked. "Is it really you?"

"Of course it is!" She said. "Listen. The universe is coming to an end-"

"Now, I'm sure that isn't true. Besides, what do you know of the universe?"

"I've been to two others. And the Intermediary, which is called No-space. The only reason we can enter No-space is if the universe was coming to an end. That makes instantanious travel possible."

"Yumi. . ." Her father warned.

"I'm telling you the truth!" She said. She closed her eyes and skipped through No-space.

"Wow." Her father said. "Still, I doubt you've been to any other universes."

"I'll show you." offered. She took her parents hands and skipped into No-space.

Where are we? Her father thought.

Welcome to No-space. Now that I have time to explain everything, are you ready to listen?

Odd appeared at his kitchen table in the middle of dinner.

"Oh boy, pizza!" He said, grabbing a slice.

His mother started to scream, and his father dropped his slice of pizza.

Odd chewed his pizza calmly and waited for his mother to calm down. Once she had, he smiled. "I've missed pizza."

"Am I hallucination?" His mother whispered to his father.

"I don't hink so." His father asnwered. "Odd?"

"The one and only." Odd said grinning. "Come on, we have to go."

"Go? Go where?" His mother asked.

"Lyoko." Odd said. He set the pizza down and looked at it wistfully. "I'm really going to miss pizza." He skipped them into No-space, met up with Yumi and they brought the parents to Lyoko.

The parents looked around. There were crabs everywhere. Nearly twenty of them.

"Quickly." Yumi said. "Go get in the tower. We can take care of them."

"Are you insane, Yumi?" Her father asked. "You can't fight those things!"

"We've fought more than this before." Odd said. "Ready, Yumi?"

"Ready."

They leapt in opposite directions, twoard crabbs.

"Laser Arrow!" Odd shouted, leaping off the front of the crab. "So," He said casually, backflipping out of the path of a laser. "Where do you suppose Jeremie and Aelita are?"

"In the tower with the twins." Yumi said, tossing her fan. It destroyed two crabs. "I thought we shut Xana down."

"Last ditch effort?" Odd suggested. "Xana created a tone somewhere?"

"I hope not." Yumi said, tossing her fan so it intercepted a laser than would have his Odd.

"Thanks."

She nodded and turned to face another crab.

Sissi appeared in her fathers office. Fortunately, he was alone.

"Hello, dady." She said. "Did you miss me?"

"Sissi?" He said, rising. "How did-? Where have-?"

"Oh, I've been out saving the world. But we kinda failed."

"What?"

"The universe is coming to an end daddy. We're evacuating what we can, but it won't really be enough. We have to go."

"To where?" He asked, still unsure whether to believe her.

"To another universe. A place called Lyoko." She said. "I'll show you."

She took his hands and skipped through No-space.

Milly appeared outside the house and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a blond woman.

"Oh, hello Milly." She said. "Please, come in."

"Thanks Mrs. Belpois. Is your husband home?"

"Yes. Of course he is."

"I'd call him if I were you. He'll want to hear this."

"Why?" She asked. "Did you find something?"

Milly nodded.

"I'll go get him." The woman hurried away, and came back with her husband.

"I can take you to Jeremie." Milly said.

"Really?" Mrs. Belpois asked. "You found him?"

"Yes."

"Where is he."

"In another, parallel universe."

Mr. Belpois frowned. "Multiple universes are only theory."

"I'll show you 'theory'. . ." She grabbed their shouldhers and skipped through to Lyoko.

Milly, Sissi, and the parents appeared in the middle of the battle.

"Oh!" Milly gasped. "Bad timeing." She glanced back at the parents, who looked absolutely shocked.

"Stay here. Sissi?"

"I know." She jumped away from a laser, ppulling her whip out. Everyone, when I say, close your eyes.

Milly produced a grenade and tossed it into the air.

Now!

The granade exploded, blinding the crabs.

Ok, you can open your eyes again.

She leapt into battle, sending a quick warning message to Timiya.

Timiya dropped a third load of students and teachers in the swamp.

She popped back to Earth just as the ground shook. Students began to should.

"It's only an earthquake! It's not the end of the world!"

"Actually, Jim, it is." She said. "Everyone who wants to live, come join hands!"

"Why?" Someone asked.

"Because I say it'll save your lives and you really don't have anything but that to lose!"

They complied and she transported them.

Ulrich and his parents appeared in the middle of the battle. Ulrich glanced around.

"Ulrich! Help!"

He spun at Yumi's voice.

One of her hegs was frozen to the ground and there was a hornet hovering above her.

"Yumi!" He rushed over, hurling himself in front of the laser, and shoving his saber into the crab. "Are you alright?"

"Fine. Just a little stuck."

He began slashing at the ice, occasionally destroying a hornet or crab that came too close.

Jeremie glanced at the tower wall.

"Do you suppose it's time to end the fight?" He asked.

She nodded.

He channeled the electricity into his hands and stepped out of the tower.

"STOP!" He shouted. Everyone froze and turned to look at him, even the crabs. Lightning came down from the heavens and destroyed all the Monsters. "That's better." He knocked on the tower. "You can come out now."

No one spoke as Aelita came out of the tower, cradlin gthe twins in her arms. He led her to his parents.

Everyone broke into their own conversations with each's respected parents.

"Mom, Dad." Jeremie said. He turned to Aelita. "Aelita, these are my parent's. Mom, dad, this is Aelita, and our children Talin and Kalin." He took the sleeping Talin out of her arms. "Our universe is gone by now." He sighed. "I can take you to the village if you'd like. You can build a home there."

"Jeremie you can take the time frome you 'busy' schedule to explain this to su!"

"No." He said. "I can't. I have to end tis war. I'll explain later. Sorry." He handed Talin back to Aelita and ran back to the tower.

"Jeremie! Where-!" She called. She looked apologetically at his parents and took of after him.

Jeremie exited the tower in the forest.

Aelita rushed after him.

"Jeremie, what are you doing!"

"I'm finishing this."

"But we won. We shut Xana off. You destroyed his last attack."

"No. Very carefully, and long ago. . .he must have see it coming. He put something in the lightning, and entity with part of his consiousness, I can feel it. I have to get rid of it." He walked a few feet away.

The lighning flowed through is veins as blood, spilling out of him in a final burst of light. Aelita turned away. When she turned back, he was standing, facind her. He took Talin in one arm and wrapped the other around Aelita.

She rested her head on his shoulder.

"There." He said. "It's finally over."

Young Kalin smiled in her sleep.
