Must of the facts in this chapter about Xana and Aelita are taken from the Code Lyoko episode: "The Key".


"Memories"

Part 6 – "The Second Code Word"

By Dr. Thinker

I was nine years old at the time. There were two portable computers—one black and one pink—hooked up to one of the scanners. By the way, I was seeing the room. I was lying on the floor by the scanners. Two of the factory's guards were laughing me about something. Soon, my father, Franz entered.

Franz and I both asked in unison, "What's so funny?"

As I got into standing position, one of the guards took out a mirror. Surprising, I was still wearing my Halloween costume. It was based on my "Caverns and Castles" character, Aelita.

The other guard replied, "Well, if you going as your character—next Halloween, you won't be sending to send a half of October looking for a pink wig."

I replied, "You got to joking."

The one that took out the mirror stated, "I tried removing it—but it's like real hair now. Sorry for laughing but you going to more then your fair share at your school."

I replied, "That won't be laughing when they see the results of my genius dreams."

Franz stated, "Don't go to let your genius go to your head, Anna."

I replied, "I won't."

-A-

I awaken in the factory with Franz and Jeremy looking over.

Franz stated, "Another memory, Anna?"

I replied, "Yes. The Halloween my hair turned from red to pink."

Franz stated, "Oh, the Halloween you dressed up as your 'Caverns and Castles' character, Aelita. That was the first time, X.A.N.A., here, got control of the scanners—and messed up Aelita's DNA for the first time. Funny, we got some news: good news, bad news and the ugly news."

I asked, "What's the good news?"

Franz stated, "You don't have a virus."

I asked, "So what's the bad news?"

Franz replied, "It's seems that X.A.N.A. took one of your two keys."

I replied, "I'm a bit of afraid of this one—but I still got to asked you—I'm a still connect to X.A.N.A despite your new good and bad news?"

Jeremy replied, "Yes. That was going to be the ugly news."

Franz remarked, "When I built Lyoko as a nano-factory, it was to hide X.A.N.A. from the government—so he can destroy something."

Jeremy asked, "Why?"

Franz replied, "Long time ago, I worked with military on a program jamming empty communications. It turns out they were going to use against the Soviet Union, but they was some bugs we could not get out. We created Lyoko to as way from hiding things nano-factory some non-military items to con newspapers if they got a little two noisy for their own good. A few years later, the Berlin Wall fall, but my daughter, Anna, came up with the idea of using Lyoko as virtual RPG game. Sometime, later, I got the first chat with X.A.N.A. who told me that City Island was accidentally disconnection from Lyoko. I had half-mind that X.A.N.A. was up to no good—but they were still the need for a villain. Soon, I discovered that Waldo was had been freed—and have teamed up with some members of the Italian mafia. So I send Aelita and myself to Lyoko. Before leaving Anna asked me to erase memories—so X.A.N.A. won't guess who was coming in with me. Then, when he didn't find me or Anna in the factory, Waldo did shut down the computer."

I replied, "I don't recall that."

Franz stated, "You getting one memories per year. I recalled that scanner turning your Halloween wig turning into hair happen when you were nine. So your been getting one memory per year. So, you got three more memories to go."

I stated, "It may go faster if we get my second key from Sector 5."

Franz replied, "Sounds like a plan."

-X-

Well, today is a good day—despite Franz telling the kids of the reason that he created me. Despite her worries, Taliena Wishes, my real spy program, had finally got every that I ever wanted: Information on how to make my own human body. I recalled how I created it. There was one Hun patrolling the Ice Section, just a few days after my attempted to destroy the kids by a military satellite was defeated. I discover that Hun was a female—and transformed it into—and give it a program with rules. The third real was to keep a good eye on Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremy and Aelita. The second real was to get information related to humans—any kid of information from many type of media: newspapers, text books, movies, music, internet web pages, computer CDs, comic books, and video games. The first and important rule was to make sure that she acts like a human. Now, to create my body! I think I make sure that so three kids can't stop with me—by tosses their cards into Sector 5: I think Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich would do. Franz hadn't battle in a while—and Sissy is still a novice. I can't remove Aelita's card, because if I do—I won't be able to active a tower. I hope my idea works!

-X-

Odd asked, "So, what are you, Taliena?"

Taliena replied, "I'm the spy program for X.A.N.A."

Odd asked, "If you were a spy program for X.A.N.A, why didn't you just stay at the factory, while we hunted down Aelita?"

Taliena replied, "One of the rules give to me by X.A.N.A. was to act as a normal girl. Did you get a one of X.A.N.A. memory orbs or something?"

Odd replied, "No. Our team had been looking for a spy program in the school system—since Donna and William were revealed as part of Lyoko's original anti-virus program. Your first name is scrambled up version of Aelita, while you last name is what kind of program X.A.N.A was going to be answered: the wishes for a virtual nano-factory."

Taliena replied, "Clever—but hear me—X.A.N.A. will not stop until he gets a human body."

Odd replied, "I know. I destroy the recovered Aelita body in Sector 5 with Ulrich's Lyoko sword."

Taliena replied, "That was a possible way for X.A.N.A.—but the Scopiza destroyed—X.A.N.A. is going to the impossible. Recall the time when his ghost clone faked Franz Hopper. How many towers did he first turn on?"

Odd replied, "Five—but he quietly shut then down to make us believe that it was really Franz Hopper."

Taliena stated, "You are correct. Here's a little—for the lack of better words—byte of information for you, Odd! They are other colors—other then: blue, red, green, pink, and white. One of them is black, and it's impossible to enter the tower if that color."

Odd asked, "So why are you telling me this?"

Taliena replied, "So you won't bug, X.A.N.A to much."

-A-

Everybody was stunned at Odd's story, for only a few moments.

Ulrich asked, "Do you think she's lying?"

Franz stated, "I think Taliena was telling you the truth. Black is rare tower light—and it's impossible to enter a tower normally—but if you use Sector 5, you can use the tubes to enter a black-lighted tower."

Jeremy stated, "We got some bad news for Ulrich, Yumi and Odd. X.A.N.A. tossed your cards into Sector 5."

Franz stated, "That's means Jeremy, Liz and me are going have to go in to Lyoko and get your cards. Lucky, it's the same place where Aelita's key is at."

Jeremy remarked "In other words, we kill two birds with one stone."

Franz laughed, "Couldn't say it better myself."

Jeremy replied, "Ulrich. Since you have been doing hot with the computer, you got the job of scanning us in."

Ulrich replied, "No problem, Einstein!"

-X-

Now, I'm worried. Sure, the black towers still active—but the gang is in Sector 5, but they had a long climb to the Center to get Aelita's second key--and their cards. They are half-away to their goal. They had been defeating my Creepers pretty well.

I think I know the reason—but I know some awful with happen with Athena—if Aelita successfully turns me off. I hate to do this.

-A-

Jeremy stated, "WHAT?

We were standing by between two towers. One today has a pass-code lock on it—and it looked normal—shining a blue light. The other has a green light—and was freed.

Franz replied, "The key and your friends cards are in that pass-code lock. To get it, we need to use the other tower to locate the road. The bad news, it's going to take a while to get it. Then we can deal with X.A.N.A.—the bad news is that is X.A.N.A. Memory Tower, were he put all his memories."

Liz stated, "So I think Sherlock here is worried that his female Dr. Watson is going to be fused into the computer version of Prof. Mortay."

After looking at Jeremy's alien looking a little on the scare side Franz replied, "I think you might be on to something."

I stated, "Don't worry, I used to memory searching with X.A.N.A's towers."

-A-

I stated to look thought the memory. I was surprised. X.A.N.A. has playing us as a trump card! It turns out he discovered that Vira, a Germany super-computer is still active since before the end of WWII. Waldo wasn't a KGB agent—he was an illusion of Vira in the real world! She was worried that X.A.N.A. was built to destroy her. It's seems X.A.N.A had thought that way—but since he was built later—after WWII—he need to get as power as quickly as possible. Surprising, he didn't want to harm me—but he was worried that if he didn't attempt to steal my memories, my friends would have gotten my key back—and he would be off-line. So, Vira is connected to X.A.N.A—and the result is Lyoko! I discovered that Athena is good-side of X.A.N.A and Vira put together—turning on off X.A.N.A. will destroying both Lyoko and Athena. The pass word to the pass-code lock was "Brutus".

-A-

Liz asked, "WHAT?"

I had told that I discovered in X.A.N.A Memories.

Jeremy remarked, "This is way past weird—even for a cartoon series!"

Liz stated, "Life is stranger then fiction."

Franz stated, "Vira. That's the reason I built X.A.N.A.! I didn't recall the name. I was earlier in my life—I was a Jewish that was force to work on Vira or me and my wife would have killed with the other Jews in the Holocaust. Now, I know why the CIA wanted my input on X.A.N.A.—I know Vira."

Jeremy add, "We puzzle out Vira and X.A.N.A. outside, but we still need that key—no matter whether or not X.A.N.A. is either anti-hero or a villain."

I moved crosser the pass-code locked tower and input the "Brutus" password, and walked into what every this tower was

-A-

This was one strange robot. They were a few weird title, "Big Bug", "A Bad Turn", "Cruel Dilemma", "Robots", "Just In Time", and "Rock Bottom". I decide to open up the file titled the weird "JUST IN TIME" name. It looked something like the following:

-V-

JUST IN TIME – VIRA ATTACK #29

Idea: Can a quake destroy the school—leading to human to discover X.A.N.A at the abandoned factory?

Stopping Logic Ratio:

X.A.N.A: 50

Aleita: 50

Locations of Problems (Before I Began):

X.A.N.A.: Sector 5

Ulrich: School

Yumi: Home

Odd: School

Jeremy: Factory

Aelita: Tower #25

Success/Failed Input: Half Failed/Half Success.

Victims: Odd & Aelita.

Kids Thought: Still thinking that X.A.N.A did this one.

Attack Summary: Jeremy thought he had successfully got a way to get Aelita out of the X.A.N.A. by doing one byte a time—starring with materializing one of hairs. In it turns out that he got an error—Aelita's hair contained her link to the Towers. At the same time, I entered create an electric fault line under the school using the electric atomic atoms inside the rocks that was underneath the school. In fact, the quake trapped Odd, his mutt, and two small humans in the school. I found this quite funny—Aelita was almost sent to the computer lab in the sky to stop me—but I didn't expect Yumi to remind Jeremy about the hair he got restore here.

X.A.N.A. Reaction: Growled at me. I pointed that he always tried to harm Aelita. He explains that he harms—NOT TO DELETE HER—to make the kids think he's the bad—so he can come powerful enough to destroy me.

-A-

I found some more strange names followings: "Teddygoddzilla", "Missing Link", "Common Interest", "Swarming Attack", "Log Book", "Plagued", and "Ghost Channel" I was a different type of the previous titles—the titles that had Vira report on were BLACK—but these were title were RED—and next to get of them were the word: "COPY" I assumed that these are Vira's copies of X.A.N.A report. It looked something like the following:

-X-

X.A.N.A. TRAINING ATTACK #109 – "GHOST CHANNEL"

Idea: Vira might be able to create a virtual trap—but she might make a mistake. My plan is to trap the warriors into the virtual trap.

Tower Needs: One. Just to make every thing normal for the beginning of the trick.

Monsters Need: A good amount of Blocks and one Guardian.

Location of Trap: A nice big piece of land in Ice Sector works well.

Pre-Summary: Successfully gotten the blueprints of the following locations: Yumi's house, my factory, and the school. Hacked into the computer and got every student and staff at the school. Hacked Yumi's father computer and gotten their looks. The set-up is ready—completed with a red tower that going to bait Aelita in the sector. I decided to be Jeremy for the trap.

Post-Summary: It was a half-hour later that Aelita found the tower and the gang showed up as if it was—to use a human phrase--just another day at the office. Odd make a bad crack on Jeremy giving every a bad attitude—even Aelita. For a while, the three trappers (Yumi, Ulrich and Odd) were confused—if I—for lack of better words—replay the bit of the day a bit. Meanwhile, Jeremy was in trouble with the principal—but Aelita helped out by making the school's boiler explode like a bomb. She scanned Jeremy into the trap--and touched the Guardian—sending Jeremy back to the real world and the three warriors back to Lyoko. After destroying every Block, Aelita used her power to send them back to real world.

-A-

I decide one file that didn't have a title—but it was pink. Opening, a giant PINK KEY show up—and I grab it. It was the second KEY! My KEY! I don't know who stolen it—X.A.N.A. or Vira—but one of them is going to pay the price! They were a lot of stuff—from by birth—to my entrance to Lyoko. The last one was very shocking.

-A-

I was 12 year old. The factory seemed to empty beside me, Franz and X.A.N.A. Franz Hopper asked, "Well, what you think of my idea, Anna?"

I replied, "Not bad. I'm not trusting X.A.N.A. to fool with my mind." I paused, "Can you erase my mind before you scan me in?"

Franz answered, "Are you crazy?"

I replied, "No. Just playing it safer then sorry. I don't want to have to kill you."

Franz replied, "Get into one of the scanner's below—and I erase your mind of every memories."

I got it—and all my memories went away.

-A-

I looked thought the files—and founded the cards of my friends: Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd to Jeremy via my own powers. We rushed back in time to see a X.A.N.A. orb—for a lack of better words—changed into another form—a giant black Krab. He was battling against a giant red Krab. We were all underneath Vira---and they she hit us

-A-

I come inside the small scanner—a bit dizzy inside. I guess when I touched my key—I regained my full human form that means, I won't kick the bucket for keeps—if I get kill again on Lyoko."

I remarked to Jeremy who was already out of his scanner, "Now that what I called a rough ride."

We heard Franz's voice stated, "I'm been keeping an eye on the battle. It's seem Vira has baited X.A.N.A turned all of his black—so she can PUSH the Moon out of the ORBIT. It's either going to be United States of America, the United Kingdoms of England or the Russia Commonwealth. It's seem both of them were equal—so if I send Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi—the result it's going to the same as it was with us."

I replied, "Daddy, I have an idea."

-A-

The result of my idea was pretty good. I sent Athena and her City Island group to deal with Vira. The battle was too much for the computer systems—Athena broke the Time Reboot Projections. Jeremy has an idea to launch the biggest time jump in X.A.N.A's history. The result is that when landed on in the school grounds. It turns out they were a few changes. First off, Herb and Nicholas has no clue who's Sissy is. Second off, I have a home with Franz. Third off, the moon is safe in its orbit. For a while, we went back to becoming normal students for two weeks, but they still wonder if Lyoko is still around. We couldn't plan on a trip because Jim was looking as if were superheroes—much to our dismay.

-A-

At the factory, after a little talking with Athena, Jeremy stated, "Lyoko is fine. The overload of energy and the biggest time reboot had allow Athena to rewrite time for us. The level of the energy of the time reboot is the lowest I even see we began the battle. It will take years of using this computer to get that high again. No sign of Vira or X.A.N.A, but Athena's City Island will look for any reminds. On that's clean up."

Well, to tell you the truth. We didn't find anything that remind of both sides—but it turns out that the huge time reboot fried the shut-off switch and the time reboot program, but that's just OK with Athena. With out X.A.N.A. or Virus effect them, the monsters are returning to their usual routines as security drones. Franz Hopper has working hard—both with getting the computer up to par with the most modern day tech computers. As for much, Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, Liz, Franz, and me finally reveal what we been up-to to Mr. Delmas and Jim. They were shocked—but they decided that no one will believe them and if they told anyone—they would just up on the Reuters's Oddly Enough. But, it turns out that the two small-fry newscaster were looking for a little story. We told them—and they joked about it being a good plot for an animated television show---it turns out that one of the small-fry newscaster's parents worked for an animated company. We got the truth out—but it's wasn't Jeremy was expected…..

It's been a lot of years since then.. Franz Hopper died at the computer just 10 years of final battle. Athena and Lyoko lasted a bit longer, but the second battery was drained out by 25 years after Franz Hopper died.

Elizabeth followed in the foot steps of her father—and made Kadic famous around the world. It's one of the biggest private schools in France right now. She died at the age of 88.

Odd become a Hollywood director doing everything from stage play to the blockbuster movies. Before his died of old age at age 95, he make a movie version of we discovered the X.A.N.A., which was one of the best non-animated kid movies.

Yumi and Ulrich tried the knot. Yumi took over a Japanese company—and make waves into all most every thing a computer can made—making her as rich as Odd was. Ulrich had become a well-know soccer star. Both of them died at age of 110 of old age.

Jeremy became a general computer scientist deal. He married me as soon as we reached the age of twenty-one. Jeremy died just last month at the age of 200—and now I'm think I'm going to meet up with Franz in the lab in the sky….

)(($#$&#&$&$(&$(&#(&#(&#

"Nice work, those kids. They earned their rebirth."

"What century should we give them?"

"Just toss them in another timeline in the 20th century—but try to make sure Elizabeth is with Yumi, Ulrich, Odd and Jeremy when they find X.A.N.A. this time."

"I try—but no one's perfect."

"Of course, I'm not perfect myself."

)#($($&&&($&&&)#($&

Two girls and two boys come out of the elevator into what to be hidden mad scientist lab room. One of the girls was a black-hair Japanese teenage dressed in a black shirt and black mini-skirt, she was also fully Japanese. The other girl was a black hair pre-teen dressed in a yellow t-shirt with a pink heart on it. One of the boys was black-hair pre-teen dressed in tan clothing. The other boy was a blonde hair with a bit of purple pre-teen dressed in a light purple shirt and neon-purple bell-bottom jeans.

A blonde hair boy with glasses wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans asked one question to them, "Can you keep a secret?"

Odd replied, "Of course, Jeremy, we not stupid!"

Elizabeth remarked, "That's a matter of opinion, Odd but I can kept my secrets better them him."

Ulrich and Yumi stated, "We can trust four of us, Jeremy."

-THE END-

I didn't know how to the end the story. So I decide to do a REBOOT—but I decide to have Aelita report the ending of heroes. The tiles of Vira's and X.A.N.A's reports are the titles to some of Code Lyoko episodes. The question at the Jeremy asked in is thead-motto for "Code Lyoko."
