Chapter 6 (Finale)
A.N. – Finale time! Time for the Lyoko Warriors to recover their memories and continue on. Will they remember everything, including this attack? Only one way to find out!
Josh Xana – Glad you liked it. Also, welcome back. Haven't heard from you in a while.
Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show.
Yumi is virtualized in the air, near the tower in the forest sector that Aelita just deactivated. She lands the same way as the others. "Ouch!" She gets up and looks up at the sky. "You could've told me about virtualizing in the air."
"Sorry, forgot about it. Aelita, exit the tower" Jeremy tells her.
"Okay Jeremy" Aelita responds.
Aelita descends down to the lower platform and exits the tower to see Yumi waiting for her. "Jeremy, Aelita is here. Where do we go?" Yumi asks.
"Head to the edge of the sector. It should allow me to send you to sector 5."
"Okay."
"This should help" Jeremy says as he materializes Yumi's vehicle.
"Nice." The two girls both step on and speed off.
Amanda starts to wake up and finds herself laying on Odd's lap. "Odd, where am I? What are we doing at the factory?"
"Well, if I told you, you wouldn't believe me" Odd tells her.
"Uh, my head hurts."
"Must be normal."
"Just tell me what happened."
"Okay, but don't be sorry because it wasn't you. You were possessed by this virus called Xana and you basically tried to kill me, Jeremy, Ulrich, and Yumi."
"What?! I'm so sorry."
"I said don't be. It wasn't you."
"Yeah, but even it just feels wrong. Someone used my body to almost kill you guys."
"Well, hopefully it doesn't happen again."
"Where's Yumi?"
Ulrich comes up from the scanners. "She's apparently on this world called Lyoko."
"Is she safe?"
"I don't know if safe is the right word, but she's skilled. Xana won't hurt her."
The two girls reach the edge of the sector. "Jeremy we're here" Yumi informs him.
"Okay, I got some notes here and the code is Scipio" Jeremy enters the code, and the transporter pops up.
"It's a white orb."
"Must be the way to enter sector 5."
The transporter opens up and engulfs the two. It closes and the transporter enters a glowing orb at the other end of the sector. The orb enters a blue dome and enters an arena. It then opens and releases the two girls. The arena starts to spin and eventually opens up.
"Tell us where to go Jeremy?"
"Take the access in front of you." They run out and the wall opens for them. A countdown appears on Jeremy's screen. "What's this? Girls, I got a countdown window on my screen. You got three minutes to find the mechanism to disable it."
"And if we fail?"
"No idea. So, just find it."
They enter into a big open area. "Well, can you do it for us? Because it looks like we're on a movie set."
"Give me a minute."
Suddenly the two girls hear growling. "What's that noise?" Aelita asks with concern.
Suddenly the walls open and a couple of monsters come crawling out of the walls.
"Whoa. What are those things?" Yumi asks.
"Don't know, but I wouldn't take chances."
"Girls, I found the mechanism. It's directly across from you" Jeremy says.
"I see it" Aelita says pointing.
"Go for it. I'll deal with the creepy crawlies" Yumi tells her.
"Hurry Aelita. You only got a minute left" Jeremy informs her.
Yumi took out her two fans and rushed towards the monsters. They started to fire at her and she used her fans to block the incoming lasers. She threw one and was able to hit one of the monsters. It groaned before it exploded. Aelita had the mechanism in sight.
"Aelita hurry! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…" Jeremy says.
"Zero!" Aelita says as she hits the mechanism. The room starts to transform. "Yumi hurry!"
She backflips back to Aelita as the walls separate them and the creepers. They then run into the passageway. They see an elevator pass by. "It's an elevator" Yumi says.
"Well, let's ride then" Aelita adds.
The two jump on the next available one and eventually arrive at the celestial dome. They go through the opening in the light. They come out of the dome in a data screen arena, covered in blue. An interface pops up and Aelita interacts with it.
"Interesting. Jeremy, this interface connects to the personal data of Xana" Aelita states.
"Then it most likely has our memories. Find them" Jeremy tells her.
"I think we got bigger problems" Yumi says as the flying mantas start to hatch, but for her it was oddly quiet. "Something doesn't feel right here." She pulls out a fan, ready for a trap. The flying mantas hatch and start to approach the two. Yumi hears the screeching sound and is immediately worried. "Aelita, hurry up!"
"I'm going as fast as I can!" Aelita responds.
Suddenly, the flying mantas appears. "Jeremy, I got some kind of manta like thing heading towards us. One of those vehicles would be nice!" Yumi asks.
"With Aelita working on the interface, I can't access that program. You'll just have to do it without it for now" Jeremy tells her.
"Jeremy, I found memory files, and it has all our names. I'm sending it to you" Aelita presses a button, and it sends to the supercomputer.
"Okay, Yumi, one vehicle coming right up." He programs the Overwing.
The mantas fire at them. The vehicle materializes. Yumi hops on. "Get on Aelita!" They fly off as the mantas pursue them. "Jeremy, get us out of here!"
"I'm working on it!" He successfully opens a tunnel. "Get to the open tunnel!"
They fly towards it and make it through and reappear in the Ice sector. "We're okay Jeremy!" Yumi informs him.
He rematerializes Yumi and Aelita using the Code Earth program he dug up. "Well, I reuploaded the files to the supercomputer. Once I launch a return to the past, we'll remember everything, except…"
"Except what?" Ulrich asks.
"This day, and everything prior to the return to the past that erased everything."
"So, basically, we go back to what we were doing before this. Being friends, warriors, and everything else in between" Yumi adds.
"Exactly. It must be hard, but we can't let Xana have the upper hand now. If we go back, we'll be much better."
"Then so be it" Odd says with a frown, because he won't remember his good times with Amanda. "Amanda, I promise that if I see you again in the past, I'll date you again."
"I hope to see you in the past too Odd" Amanda adds.
Jeremy turns around and reprograms the return to the past. "Return to the past now!" Jeremy presses enter and a white bubble engulfs them and sends them back a day.
The morning before Xana's attack took place happened. Yumi woke up before Amanda could. She remembered that she did that on the first day she was here. She immediately locked her door and got changed just as Amanda came by.
"Hey Yumi, you awake? Or do you have some company over that I don't know about?" Amanda asked.
"No, I just don't want you to see me when I'm changing" Yumi responded.
"Come on, we're both females."
"There has to be boundaries somewhere Amanda."
"Fine, I'll be waiting downstairs."
Yumi finished changing and went downstairs, ready to go to school.
Ulrich woke once again to the sound of Odd's alarm. He woke up and saw Odd on the other side of the bed. He couldn't explain why, but he felt like they went back in time.
"Hey Odd, did we recently do a return to the past?" Ulrich asked him.
"No, unless Xana found a way to bypass Einstein's program, or someone launched in manually" Odd responds.
"Then why do I feel like we jumped in time." Ulrich couldn't explain the reason behind this feeling.
Jeremy woke up normally and went to his computer. He played a video that came through from the supercomputer. "What's this?" He played the video.
"Hello Jeremy of the past. I am Jeremy from a different timeline, a timeline where Xana erased our memories and tried to kill us without us remembering him or Lyoko, as well as our friendship. We were able to win, but at a cost. If you don't remember anything, then that means the modifications I made on the return trip worked. If you remember, then something is wrong, and you won't see this video. The only reason you're seeing this right now, is to clear up any confusion that may happen to some of us during the most recent return trip. Gather everyone and show them this video later the day you see this. Goodbye and good luck in your fight against Xana."
"So, Xana did erase our memories. That's why I relayed this message to me, just because I wouldn't remember Xana's latest attack and he could try to pull this scheme on us again. Well Xana I'd like to see you try."
Aelita woke up with the sun shining in her room. She remembered everything about her friends, but nothing of Xana's most recent attack. She did her normal routine before heading down to breakfast with the others.
Amanda and Yumi walked into the campus and spotted the boys across the yard. "Hey, there's that guy from yesterday" Amanda pointed to them.
"Yeah, let's go say hi," Yumi said as they walked over to them. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Yumi" they both responded in unison.
Odd, however, immediately noticed Amanda. "And who are you?" Odd asked.
"This is Amanda, my cousin" Yumi told him.
"Well, aren't you the cute one of the family" Odd said, clearly flirting.
"Obviously not, Yumi got the looks" Amanda responded.
"Yeah, well I don't have eyes for her. But for you, it's a different story." Amanda blushed a little at this comment.
"Odd, even if you could date her, she's only here for two weeks" Yumi said.
"No problem, my relationships last no more than a week. If I get two it will be new a record."
"Yeah, and then the heavens will sing of the great Odd Della Robbia, who succeeded in getting to date a girl for more than one week" Ulrich said as both him and Yumi laughed.
"Speaking of what about tonight?"
"Sure, but nothing to fancy. Let's just take a walk or something, get to know each other" Amanda responded.
"Okay, where are you staying?"
"At Yumi's. Come by at 7."
"I'll be there."
The bell rang and everyone headed to their classes. "Odd, you sure made a good first impression on her" Ulrich told him.
"Yeah, I just hope that I make a lasting one that makes her want to come back to me after she leaves."
Jeremy called the group to his room for a meeting after classes ended.
"Okay, so the reason I called you here is to discuss what has happened. Have any of you felt like a return trip happened?" Jeremy asked and Ulrich raised his hand. "Watch this." Jeremy played the video. "This is the reason behind this feeling. A return trip did happen, but we can't remember it. This video explains it all."
"So, how do we stop Xana from doing this again?" Aelita asks.
"I created a new program that blocks Xana from ever accessing the return program ever again. It also gives me a chance to stop the return trip in case he finds a way to access it."
"So, now we have a fail-safe system against Xana?" Yumi asks.
"Yeah, but we still need to find the anti-virus in order to stop Xana for good. Tomorrow, we begin like nothing ever happened. Xana will attack again, and we need to be ready for whenever that happens.
The group was now reunited, but they never knew of the horror that awaited them as Xana would eventually escape into the network and become more powerful than ever before.
