Chapter 15 The Fate of the Lyoko Warriors Now

A.N – Graduation is finally here for at least two of the Lyoko Warriors. Three characters with the story will be graduating while the others all watch. But what happens to the group after this event changes everything.

Short Summary – Graduation has finally arrived. While the other students begin summer vacation, all seniors prepare for the big day. Jeremy fears that since the five are going to be cut down to three, there only option is for no failure in Switzerland. Also, a returning character from the Lyoko Warriors past makes a move with William. But what will the fate of the group be?

Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show. I do own Melissa.

Wednesday at Kadic

Senior finals finally wrapped up for Yumi, William, and Melissa and by tomorrow they would know their final grades. All of them were confident that they would pass and walk this year so there was no fear. The only thing that was worrisome, was the events about to transpire in a few days in Switzerland. Melissa saw the worry look on Yumi and William's faces and decided t ask them about it.

"Are you two okay? You see like your worried about something" Melissa asked them.

Trying to avoid mentioning Lyoko or Anti-Xana to her they just say part of the truth. "We are just worried for the fate of our group. We've been good friends for three years and now the five will become the three" Yumi said.

"It will be hard for all of us to move on. It will also be hard to find new friends, especially ones like these" William said with hidden meaning.

"Friends sometimes come and go, but friends in your case, sounds like you guys are friends forever" Melissa stated. This statement seemed to put Yumi and William at ease that they were always going to be friends, but the main task is to stop Professor Tyron and Anti-Xana. "Well I better get going. I promised Odd I meet up with him after finals. See you guys at graduation" Melissa said as she walked away. They all waved but to each other and Yumi, and William went to meet with rest of the group.

The groups usual spot

"Melissa is getting a little curious about us" Yumi said.

"What is she saying?" Jeremy said.

"It's not what she is saying, it's what she knows about us."

"Think she knows about our little secret" Ulrich said.

"No, but we mentioned that it would be hard for us to move on after graduation. Seems like she might notice something is weird between all of us, not relationship wise."

"Better hope Odd doesn't say anything" Jeremy said.

"I think Odd learned his lesson. Especially now when our secret is more important now than ever" Ulrich said.

"I still need to make the preparations for the trip to Switzerland. When is the graduation ceremony?"

"This Saturday at 7" William said.

"All right, then Monday we'll leave for Switzerland."

"Okay that should give us enough time to tell our parents about this" Yumi said.

"Let's keep it simple. Just say it's a friend's vacation."

"What about the tickets that Anthea gave us? When's the date?" Ulrich asked.

"They're unmarked. Kind of like a skeleton ticket. We can choose when to leave and when to go."

"That was nice thing for my mother to do for us. We need all the help we can get in order to stop him for good this time" Aelita said.

"You'll all be at our graduation, right?" Yumi said.

"We'll all be there for you. We're friends, aren't we?" Jeremy said rhetorically.

Saturday in Paris

Graduation day has arrived, and everyone passed like expected. The school rented the yard outside the Eiffel Tower for the ceremony. The graduating class all waited under the Eiffel Tower waiting for the ceremony to begin. Outside, the organizers put up thousands of bleacher seats around the seats to make it like a stadium event. The group were all there waiting for the beginning.

"You guys all ready?" Melissa asked William and Yumi.

"I guess so" Yumi said.

"Yeah, I ready to graduate. Twelve years in the making" William said.

"What do you guys think the status of your relationships will be?" Melissa said.\

"I still stay with Ulrich. I am not going far away so I'll be close by" Yumi said.

"Nothing for me yet. I probably find someone at college" William said.

"Yeah, same for me with Odd. I be studying close by so I'll be able to visit him often" Melissa said.

The ceremony was about to begin so everyone got into their proper spots and the students started to walk out. Everyone seeing their friends and family all their to see them graduate. Everyone took their proper spots and Delmas was up at the podium ready to talk.

"Good evening everyone and welcome to the Kadic Academy graduation ceremony of the class of 2009." (*Just go with it. There was no year when they were fighting Xana. *) "I happy to be doing this for another year and seeing all these young faces make the transition from academy students to young adults whether they enter the work force or expand their knowledge by going to college."

"Do we really need to be hearing this? I can skip graduation next year or sleep through this speech again next year" Odd said.

"You'll probably forget by next year anyways so why does it matter" Ulrich said causing Jeremy and Aelita to laugh a little.

"Anyways without further ado, let's begin handing out the diplomas" Delmas said as he got the list of names out. He started reading off names and eventually the groups names were called. "William Dunbar." William walked up and got his diploma from Jim.

"I've got to admit Dunbar, I didn't think you would make it, being as you were" Jim said.

"People change Jim" William said as he walked away. More names were called and eventually Yumi was called. "Yumi Ishiyama." Yumi walked up and got he diploma from Jim.

"Good work Ishiyama. You did a really good job" Jim said.

"Thanks Jim" Yumi said as she returned to her seat.

"Melissa Smith." Melissa walked up to receive her diploma.

"Good job Miss Smith. I've also noticed you're with Della Robbia now huh?" Jim said.

"Yeah, he's perfect for me" Melissa said as she returned. The rest of the student wrapped up and Delmas made closing statements.

"Thank you everyone for attending this year's graduation ceremony. For any undergraduate students here, we hope to see you down here one day. Thank you and good night!" Delmas said as walked away from the podium. Everyone clapped and dispersed. The students went out to meet their friends and family.

"Congratulations honey! We are so proud of you!" Yumi's mother said as she hugged her. Suddenly Ulrich rushed up and kissed Yumi right in front of them.

"Uh, mom, dad, this is my boyfriend, Ulrich" Yumi said.

"Nice to meet you" Yumi's father said shaking his hand.

"Thanks for the warm welcome sir" Ulrich said.

"Likewise" Yumi's father said sarcastically at what Ulrich just did.

Odd rushed up to meet Melissa. "Congratulations Melissa" Odd said with excitement. Melissa pulled Odd in for a quick kiss. Suddenly Melissa's parents showed up.

"Melissa dear over here!" Called out Melissa's mother.

"Oh, Odd this is my mother and father. Mom, dad, this is my boyfriend Odd" Melissa said.

"Finally nice to meet you. Melissa has said a lot about you" her mother said.

Jeremy and Aelita were discussing their plans for next year.

"Think we'll make it Jeremy?" Aelita asked.

"Of course. We are the two most intelligent people at Kadic" Jeremy said.

"No I mean live to see us finish next year."

"Why do you say that? Do you think an apocalypse is coming?"

"If we fail in Switzerland then Anti-Xana may have a chance to wipe us out."

"Then it is very important that we do not fail this mission."

William was talking with his parents when they said they had to leave because his father had a meeting on Sunday. While he was waiting around for his friends to get done someone said something behind him "Hey!". William quickly turned around and saw someone that he though he would never see again.

"Laura, what are you doing here?" William said.

"Oh , I just came to see what to expect next year, you know prepare" Laura said.

"What happened to you? We don't see you around much anymore in the others classes or any class."

"What you miss me?"

"No, but we all thought that you transferred somewhere else."

"After last year since I got a really high grade point average they gave me advanced classes this past year. They were difficult but not to tough. I really thought that Jeremy and Aelita would be with me but I guess not. Probably not smart enough."

"I think it's for different reasons. Reasons that you forgot" William said under his breath, quiet enough for Laura not to hear.

"Anyway it was really good seeing you again. And for one last time I guess."

Suddenly William got an idea. 'Why do I have to be lonely? There is no reason. Let's take a chance.' He thought. "Hey, I'm not busy this weekend if you want to go out to a dinner or movie or something."

"Are you asking me out?"

"Yeah, but not for a date."

"Well how about me make it an official first date."

"Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?"

"Yes silly" Laura said as she kissed him passionately on the lips.

"Wow. I didn't expect that."

"Tomorrow at 7?"

"Count on it."

Laura smiled and walked away. Then the rest of the group found William and found him smiling.

"What are you so happy about Will?" Odd asked.

"One don't call me that and second I think I found my true love" William said.

"Who's the lucky girl?" Aelita asked.

"Laura."

"Laura!?" Jeremy said.

"That bitch! Remember she betrayed us and you, causing you to go back to Xana for a temporary amount of time" Aelita said.

"She's different. She doesn't remember anything about Lyoko or us. Plus I think with Lyoko being involved we looked past each other and now I think we really clicked" William said.

"Who asked who?" Yumi said.

"She did. I didn't mention anything about being a couple. Plus she kissed me without warning. I going out with her tomorrow while you guys prepare to go to Switzerland."

"Well good luck. Just one thing. Keep her away from the factory AT ALL COSTS!" Jeremy stressed.

"Don't worry. She won't know. I just hope that Anti-Xana stays quiet."

"He should. Have fun."

The group was still together and decided to be together. The hope is they stay together after Switzerland. The group dispersed and though about how to tell their parents about their trip on Monday.

A.N – So all the Lyoko Warriors are now in relationships. Next time the Lyoko Warriors prepare for Switzerland. I probably won't write the date between Laura and William but give a general summary of it. I will tell the fate of everyone after the fight at Tyron's lab. It's too early to tell everyone the final fate of everyone. So you'll have to wait. Also this story is coming to end soon. Six or seven chapters left. Get ready for a couple of build up chapters before the fighting scenes.

P.S. My Spring Break is here so my uploads my come every one to two days. Next chapter will be up either Thursday or Friday. I will push for Thursday. Don't' forget to review. I really like feedback. Se ya next time! –lyokowarrior97
