Aftermath

The birds and flying-type Pokemon have taken over the sky while the Dug Trio creates tunnels underground. Kadic Academy is busy with the laughter of students and gossip. Sissi, Nicholas, and Herve walk across campus and spot Yumi and Ulrich hugging. "Such a shame, Ulrich made a poor choice in women," Sissi said. "Why?" Nicholas asks. "Because he could have Moi." "Well, I still have a chance?" Herve asks. "No!" Sissi said as she marched over to them. "Jeremy said it's over. XANA's gone. For good this time," Ulrich said. "The last few minutes were close," Yumi said. "However, I felt like I had a connection to Aelita." "Me too. It was like she was calling for help, and we answered." "Well, isn't it lovely?" Sissi teases. "Hello, Sissi," Yumi said. "It seems like I should be nicer to you. Why?" "Becasue we all agreed to be friends, and we can all use a little more Sissi in our lives," Ulrich said. "Yeah, you should. Since we can agree, tell Odd that I have a bone to pick with him." "Why?" "He is making me into a horrible zombie in his latest film." Sissi walks away, and the couple laughs. "Some things never change," Yumi said as she kissed Ulrich.


Over by the benches, Brock checks his phone. "I forgot that I have ten emails from my internship," Brock said. "Are you getting fired?" Ash asks. "No. The emails are about submitting my hours to the school. The reminder emails are sent every hour on the hour." "Annoying," Ash laughs. Allison walks up to Ash and covers his eyes with her hands. "Mom, when did your hands get so sweaty?" Ash teases. "What?" Allison asks. Ash laughs and kisses Allison. "Gotcha!" "Hey!" Brock giggles. "How was the rescue?" "The rescue was intense, but when Tyron showed up with the tentacles, I thought it was over," Ash said. "However, it was a sparkle of light that saved us," Allison said. "On the Volcanco Replika, XANA appeared as a monster and tried to strangle us as well," Brock said. "Odd told me this morning," Ash said. "It was scary as fuck, but I heard Aelita's voice." "Us too. Then that sparkle of light appeared," Ash said. Brock looks up and sees Cressila standing around. "Cressila? What is she doing here?" Allison sees something on Brock's phone. "You have a reminder." Brock reads it. "A walk through the Rock-Type Pokemon sensory garden." "You have a date," Ash said. "When was this?" Brock asks himself. "Are you going?" Brock over to Cressila. "Hey, are you ready?" "Yeah, are you?" "Yeah. Let's go." As the pair goes off, Ash smiles. "XANA free world, and Brock gets a girl. What a day." Allison smiles.


Odd plays Super Galaxy Bros. on his Switch. He thinks about the last few moments of Lyoko as he plays the boss level. "XANA came 'this' close to finishing us off. I remember seeing this light and felt like I was helping Aelita somehow." Odd looks up and sees Dawn standing over him with a drink from Starlight Coins. "What is this for?" Odd asks. "You are questioning a free drink?" Dawn asks. Odd takes the drink. "Thanks." Dawn smiles as Odd pull her into his lap. "Whoa," Dawn said with a slight blush. "Do you remember what we talked about before?" Odd asks. "Yeah, you want to take me out on a real date." "I still want to do that." "Thanks. I do have a question?" "About the last few moments on Lyoko?" "Yeah, was that Aelita talking to us?" "I think so. I spoke to Ash about it. He said that the same thing happened to him and the others." Dawn thinks. "I wonder why?" Dawn asks. "Why what?" William asks as he appears. He picks up his drink and takes a sip. "That was for me," Odd teases. "Nope. I like extra vanilla. What was the worrying?" "The light moment," Dawn said. "Yeah. First, I thought I was dying because XANA got desperate that it took a similar form as he did in the lab but more deadly. Then, I heard Aelita asking for help," William said. "Weird. We should ask Jeremy," Dawn said. William notices that Dawn is sitting on Odd's lap. "Anyway, I think we should meet Jeremy and Aelita at the lab soon." "Yeah. But I need to see Ms. Hertz first," Odd said. "Let me guess; you want to beg for extra credit." "No. I need to pick up my homework. I left my bag in her classroom." "I see. If you want to cuddle with Dawn some more, you could have just said so," William teases. Odd blushes. "What?" Dawn asks. "It's okay. I won't say a word." Wiliam walks away as Odd and Dawn are left dumbfounded.


Aelita stands on the bridge and takes in the river breeze. "You know, I felt my father's presence on Lyoko." "What was it like?" Jeremy asks. "It was like he was giving me a confidence boost. XANA did something, and the tower was dying. MAS 2.0 wasn't working. I felt like I was failing. Then, he gave me advice." "Then you got your confidence back." "Yes, but it was more. Like when (Fairy Soldier reference coming up. Read, please) Princess Soldier Heart needed more help. The Fairy Soldiers lend her their powers. It was like you all lent me your powers. Even you." Jeremy nods. "It did feel like that. It was when I was being strangled. I felt connected to you, Aelita. We all felt connected." "Yes. That's it. Why? I couldn't do that before." "I don't know. However, none of us will forget the screams of XANA and the images we saw." "It was grimly, to say the least." Aelita looks up to the sky. "I wonder how my mother is doing. I hope she is okay." "No need to worry. Allison said that her mother is on the case," Jeremy said.


Daphne and Fred hold a meeting with their daughter's friends' parents. "I told you. I gave you everything from Green Pheonix," Walter said. "Calm down. We remember, Daphne is here to bring her sister home to her daughter," Micheal said. "Look, did Lowell Tyron tell your niece anything?" Robert asks. "He told her that he has her mother and that Aelita needs to give him something," Fred said. "Then he was trying to kill our daughter and her friends, your children." "Well, Ulrich should not be mixed up in this," Walter said. "Excuse me. You put your money where your mouth was and paid that monster. He helped with Waldo being double-crossed," Johanna. said. "How do you know?" Jessica asks. "I have my resources. Plus, I remember being with a group of coordinators that had to deal with something that Major Steinback started." Walter is about to yell when Flint speaks. "Don't forget, the gym leaders around her had also asked the gym leaders in Kanto for help. You know why?" "This is not an attack on us," Akiko said. "As far as we know, nothing we did has come to light in any way." "Look, here is everything we have. Our children do not need to know," Takeho said. "Plus, you choose to turn your back on your sister, remember?" Jessica said. Micheal sighs. "Let's not get personal. Green Pheonix was started after Anthea was taken." "Plus, Daphne did not abandon her sister," Delia said. "They both focused on their careers." "I will consider your age the reason for your nativity," Walter said. "And I will consider your age as the reason your son barely mentions you," Delia shouts back. Walter growls. "Okay, we all gave our piece to the puzzle, now Daphne can put it together, and we shall never speak about this again," Margret said. "Agree," Flint said.


Anthea wakes up and has a pounding headache. "My fucking head." She gets out of bed and looks out the window. "There are chains on the gates still. Why is the house a prison?" She sees a limo enter through the gates. "When did he leave?" Anthea asks. Professor Tyron exits the limo and growls. "Those stupid bitches," he said. "Did they successes?" Jacob, one of Professor Tyron's assistants, asks. "Yeah. They managed to wipe the Cortex." "What about XANA or COBRA?" "Both are gone. I don't know when they did it, but they did." "Well, they manage to hack into our system and change the Time Reversal Program. There could have been an epic battle, and we forgot." "Look, I can try to recover my data. Plus, we have Anthea. That girl will be wise not to push her luck if she wants to see her mother alive again." Anthea tries to read Professor Tyron's lips. She holds on to her necklace and prays. "I hope my baby girl is alright. I hope my baby sister can figure something out. I hope my husband is alright. I know that everything will be okay." A Guard slips some food under her bedroom door. "Get to eating. You have a long day." Anthea calls out her Pokemon, Silver, her Alohan Ninetales. "How is the food?" Sliver sniffs the food. "Ninetales," Silver replies. "Not drugged today. Good." She eats the food and gives Sliver some. Meanwhile, Professor Tyron enters one of his labs and confronts one of his workers. "You'll need to do better. The bitches won the battle, but I will win the war!" "Yes, sir. Sorry sir," Franklin said. As Professor Tyron leaves, Franklin hears Anthea's voice. "Come on, Silver; we have to keep going. We will be Aelita in no time." Franklin jolts up. Professor Tyron looks at the memory glove. "I have his memory stored in the glove. As long as he works for me, he will never get it. "Which is why we need to keep Anthea away from Franklin, or she'll rebel for sure," Jacob said. Franklin sits in his chair. "Anthea, she is alive. that baster Tyron has her. I will get out of here and reunite my family," Waldo declares.


Laura sits in her room at rehab and draws a picture of the Lyoko Warriors. She lights a candle on fire and sets the image on fire. "I will be back, bitches," Laura states.


Aelita hugs Jeremy and sighs. "Everything will be alright," she said as the group arrived. "Are we ready?" Jeremy asks. "Yes," Ulrich said. "I am ready to shut it down." Me too," Ash said. "I know the first time we were reserved, but not anymore." "I want to focus on school shit, not XANA," William said. "I mean, XANA is gone, but Aelita needs to be reunited with her mother," Dawn said. "I will. However, we need to close this chapter," Aelita said. The group enters the power room. "Jeremy should do the honors," Odd said. "I think Aelita should do it," Brock said. "How was your date?" Ash asks. "Hold on; Brock went on a date?" Jeremy asks. "You act like that is a strange event," Brock said. "I think Aelita and Jeremy should do it together," Allison said. "Jeremy turned it on first, and Aelita ended it!" "I second that," Yumi said. Aelita and Jeremy hold the handle together. "XANA, although you have brought us together as friends," Jeremy starts. "You were an evil threat that needed to go." "Your reign of terror is over, and I am glad that I did it! With help from my friends," Aelita said. Jeremy and Aelita turned off the supercomputer and breath a sign of relief. The group walks out of the factory and shuts off the elevator. "Why should we do?" Aelita asks. "A movie?" William asks. "We need to see the new Galaxy Series movie: Aftermath of the Beginning," Odd said. "Fine, Odd wanted to see it for weeks," Ulrich said. "At least Allison and Ash didn't see it without us as they did three years ago," Dawn said. Ash and Allison grew quiet. "You did!" Brock exclaims. "However, we can see the director's cut," Ash said. "Well, I want to know about that," Yumi said. "If we hurry, we can make it," Allison said as she started to run. "hey, you owe us popcorn!" Dawn said. "Wait. Jeremy can't run that fast," Brock teases. "Yes, I can. The stress of XANA is gone. Watch me gain speed!" Jeremy teases back. "Now, this is a fresh start. Hey, wait for me," William said.


The threat of XANA is over. Now the Lyoko Warriors can have everyday lives again. However, their human enemies are still out there. Will they attack? That is another story!
