He Who Calls
Chapter 44
Milo sat up at his desk. He had just been thinking about that day ten years ago when they had shut down Xana and the Imprisoned One, who was calling himself Franz Hopper. That was also the day Xanite had died. Jeremy was mortally wounded, attacked by the Imprisoned One, but Juanita called the ambulance and they managed to save him. He had to get a prosthetic hand and leg, but he was lucky to survive and acted as such. Milo had tutored Odd and Ulrich, and they had all managed to get into Oxford College. Everyone was more surprised then happy at first, but their friendship lasted. Shortly afterward, they had all chosen their careers and some of them had gotten married. Milo had actually proposed to Aelita, and their wedding was a nice one. The same happened for Ulrich and Yumi. Odd had been seeing Milly for a while, after the thing with Tamiya. She had been totally clueless that Tamiya was blackmailing people, and Odd comforted her. Soon after college, they got married as well. Jeremy hadn't married yet.
After everything, they had done what they wanted to do. Milo and Aelita moved back to Portugal and went into politics. Milo had won an election and had completely reinvented Portuguese government. He was now Prime Minister, and Aelita was an ambassador, both of them fighting for the unification of Earth under one government. Ulrich and Odd had started a band, 'The Xanadores,' named in tribute to William and Bella. After William and King had been freed from Lyoko they joined it too. They were the most successful rock group in the world, and they had written a song dedicated to Milo and Aelita about unification. Yumi had done some writing, and she became a bestselling author. Jeremy was working for the French government, making sure they never made a mistake like Xana ever again. He also designed amazing computers, known to be able to do almost anything. Milly had, of course, become a journalist.
Aelita walked into the room.
"It's Reunion Day, Milo," she said. Every year the Lyoko Warriors celebrated the day they had destroyed Xana with a big reunion, and everyone else was scheduled to be here any minute. "Did you remember?"
"Yes," he said. "I was just thinking about the day we did it. Got rid of Xana, I mean."
"I was too. And about Xanite."
"Yeah." Someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it." It was Odd and Milly. She had been filled in on the secrets after marrying Odd.
"Milo," said Odd. "Good to see you again."
"You too. Come in," said Milo.
"Ulrich and Yumi were tailing us the whole way here. They should be parking right now."
"Actually, we're here," said Yumi as she walked up with Ulrich. Everyone walked into the house. "Jeremy won't be here for another ten minutes. He takes 'fashionably late' to a different level." They were in the attic, all of them. That was where Milo had the Mini-Scans stowed away. They had a secret, too. When they went on to Lyoko, they appeared as they had all those years ago. Their unconscious desires still led them to that time of mystery and magic and occasionally true love. They had seen the future, and it was bright. But deep underneath, they saw themselves as those gentle teens, who prayed for a way to eliminate the evil that threatened them.
Jeremy arrived. They went to Lyoko. Their children would one day go onto Lyoko. Because now Lyoko was what its name meant. Now Lyoko was a world without danger.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko.
Milo: Yeah, if he did, I would be in it.
Felix: True. I do own Milo, Juanita, Xanite, the Man in Grey, the Imprisoned One, Bella, King, Red, Sniper, Snap, the Blacks, Troy, Xanadu, (though I got the name from the Garage Kids Pilot,) 1-6Bases, the Mini-Scans, and the plotline.
Aelita: Music.
Felix: Fine, fine. I don't own Belle and Sebastian or any of their songs, but I do own all the ridiculous titles for movies and other stupid things I made up for filler.
Ulrich: Forgetting anything?
Felix: Ok, jeez. Also, I own any OOC behavior. Tamiya is not a blackmailer, Jeremy is not a libidinous weirdo, Odd is not suicidal, etcetera.
Odd: And you're sure that's it?
Felix: Odd's parents may or may not really be dead in the show, but it never really depressed him if they are.
Jeremy: Thanks to the Equal Rights For Computer Geniuses Movement, I get to talk too.
Felix: Go away, Jeremy. This disclaimer was weird, immature, and stupid enough without the ERFCGM butting in.
Jeremy: You're still forgetting something.
Felix: Fine. I own the ERFCGM too.
Everyone Except Felix and Jeremy: Say it ain't so, Felix!
Felix: That's it! Milo, Aelita, go unite the world from Portugal. Ulrich, Odd, go rock out. Yumi, go write heart-wrenching novels for the world to enjoy. Jeremy, go design an awesome computer for me.
Jeremy: In your dreams.
Everyone Except Felix and Milo: (Leaves)
Milo: You are bringing me back in a songfic and every other Code Lyoko fanfic you write, aren't you?
Felix: Unfortunately for me, yes. And maybe your kid if I ever let you have one.
Milo: Just wanted to make sure. You're all right, Felix.
Felix: I'm sentimental, you're fictional. We all have problems. I'll put you in my stories. Go back to Portugal.
Milo: Fair enough. (Leaves.)
Felix: Thank you, Milo. We have the award for longest, stupidest disclaimer wrapped up.
