( Code Total Drama Reality Introduction Song Starts )
( No Pain No Game (From Btoom!) )
(The ending of this story)
The song starts, showing the end of Code Lyoko where the Supercomputer is shut down and the former Lyoko Warriors leave the factory seemingly for the last time.
(I will hold it close as I wonder so aimlessly)
A single computer is shown coming online, lines of 1s and 0s streaming across the screen before the screen is replaced by a glowing sphere with the Eye of XANA, at least eight variations appearing on it. From the sphere came lines of data emerging in eight different directions. The lines of data formed into various regions, all of them floating landscapes resembling a forest, a desert, an arctic, mountains, volcanoes, swamp and a jungle.
(Into this new world)
The new lands orbited the golden sphere as the camera zoomed in on the Eye of XANA staring at the screen.
(The game has only just begun)
The Eye then flashes red, and the sphere turns black.
(I can see it in your eyes)
A girl with pink hair sits on her bed, panting as she turns to see two pictures of her friends and her father. She smiles briefly but that smile turns to a look of horror as both her friends and her father are engulfed by a great darkness and the red Eye shines down on her. The Supercomputer, thought to be shut down, is reactivated and there is a flash of light.
(This is where tomorrow brings a new game)
Aelita is shown alone both in the real world and in Lyoko, hordes of monsters surrounding her.
Geoff is first shown in his human form before transitioning to his Lyoko form.
Next to him is Bridgette, holding her surfboard in the real world before changing into her Lyoko form, her board splitting into two swords.
(It's time to learn that pain is gain)
Gwen is shown sitting in front of tree, looking up and is instantly changed into her Lyoko Avatar, brandishing her scythe.
DJ is shown in the woods, tending to a little rabbit as he stands up and morphs into his Lyoko form, turning to face the camera with a stern glare.
LeShawna is last, ready to fight in both her human form and her Lyoko form.
(Ready fight!)
William and a dark reflection of himself as XANA's General are shown standing back-to-back, turning to face each other and swinging their swords.
The screen is split by the two swords, showing New Lyoko as the title appears:
CODE: TOTAL DRAMA REALITY
(I gotta crush and paint away the anguish)
Aelita is shown first, sitting at the computer before she is then shown as the DJ of a party. She morphs into her Lyoko form and conjures an energy field.
This was followed quickly by Geoff wildly waving his hat while riding something with Bridgette holding onto him by the back.
(Of my past for the sake of my future)
Gwen is shown next, drawing in her sketchbook and signifying with a sad face as Duncan, Courtney and Trent appear behind her, their backs facing in her direction.
(Until my life comes to an end)
DJ is shown running for his life from appears to be a giant bear.
(I am gonna fight to tear apart that destiny)
LeShawna is shown next, standing confidently with her team, ready to face whatever crazy challenge comes next.
(Aoh, break out and start a revolution)
The antagonists of Total Drama: Heather, Courtney, Justin, Anne Maria, Jo, Lightning, Scott and Alejandro in the Total Drama Machine are shown from left to right, grinning or glaring at the camera, holding up an imaginary case of the million- dollar prize money in their hands. Chris Mclean is shown next, arms crossed as the chair he is sitting in spins to meet the camera, zooming out to show it is the monitor room for the Total Drama show.
A dark shadow appears above them, scrawny in appearance and hair falling over the left eye as it glares darkly at the screen.
(Until you find the answer you're looking for)
The camera then shows Aelita with the new Lyoko Warriors, the TD Lyoko Warriors and William sitting around a campfire, all of them staring up into the starry night sky, a picture of her friends and father resting in Aelita's hands.
(I'll challenge all my limits)
Aelita in her Lyoko form with her wings sprouting from her back is shown, clutching Mr. Puck in her hands as she seemingly falls back, her friends and relatives in the background.
The camera moves down to show William kneeling down, clutching his sword in both hands. As this happens, the camera moves down, showing depictions of the TD Lyoko Warriors and other characters in the background.
The camera continues to move down to show Geoff pulling Bridgette into sharing a picture with LeShawna bringing her face up over Bridgette's shoulder, the three of them in their Lyoko forms. While this happens, Harold, Lindsay, Beth, Trent, Katie and Sadie are shown in the background.
Below them is Gwen with her arms and legs curled around her with her cape swirling behind her like wings while Heather and Courtney are shown in the background glaring at each other followed by Sierra clutching Cody who looks distressed, Eva crossing her arms along with B and Beth both waving, the latter looking very shy. Behind Gwen appeared Dawn in her own Lyoko form in a meditative pose while upside down while facing Gwen with her eyes closed, her light robe contrasting with Gwen's cape with dark clothing, almost forming a yin-yang symbol.
Behind Dawn appears Scott, snickering evilly.
(Knowing this could be my only chance now)
DJ is shown last, seemingly falling back while holding his pet rabbit: Bunny in his hands with a happy smile. His teammates shown in the background starting with Duncan, Tyler, Justin and Alejandro ending with Chef Hatchet and Chris McClean.
He is followed by Mike and Zoey, both clutching their hands and smiling at each other as in background appears Brick, Jo, Lightning, Sam and Staci.
And lately Cameron appears staring up at the others.
(To overcome this fate that has come over me)
The screen turns black and the Eye of XANA immediately flashes into existence, glowing red and shadowing the outline of a singular person with red glowing eyes.
(The ending of this story)
Aelita is shown, standing in a meadow now with the wind gently blowing through her hair.
(I will hold it close as I wonder so aimlessly)
She holds up a hand, gazing sadly up as the images of her friends and parents appear in the sky.
(Into this new world)
Her hand then becomes digital, transitioning to Lyoko.
((The game has only just begun))
She gazes up a little longer before she notices her new friends and allies standing with her and smiles before looking forward, seeing a tower in the distance.
(I can see it in your eyes)
Just as they are about to rush towards the tower, the camera angles up into the digital sky as the song reaches its end.
The scene then shifts to pictures of Aelita and her friends both old and new on a desktop as the title appears on last time:

VIDEO RECORDING
The video stated with Sierra on the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, filming herself and Cody as he slept in the Economy Class.
"Ho, Orpah." Sierra began with her signature crazy smile. "With this video, I want to participate in your next episode about couples in trouble. I'm Sierra and he is my husband, Cody." She moved the camera and zoomed in to get a better look at Cody. "Yes, he's very famous. We love each other a lot. He adorrrrrres me, isn't that right, my beloved Cody?"
She held up Cody who was still sleeping, speaking for him in a badly disguised voice. "You are the only woman in my life."
"He is faithful to me. Orpah, would you figure how to get him to have this loving attitude when he's awake too? Call me."

The delusions of these humans are sick and disturbing, even by the standards of the ones I usually put up with. Unfortunately, it is something I must endure as I study the histories, strengths, weaknesses and habits of these contestants that are now aiding Aelita against me. The contestant known as Sierra has very detailed information of every Total Drama fan on her website and is easy to access.
Home Addresses

Personal Information
The amount of information would be considered illegal under normal circumstances but this only serves to benefit me and I am not subject to human authority anyway.

I believe this information has shown me the perfect way to neutralize all the targets, isolating Aelita and William long enough for me to finish them off.
It's time to start the next phase of my plan.
Through the night, Aelita had to endure the lap top beeping to alert her of an active tower. She ended up just muting it and falling asleep at nearly 2am in the morning.
She just knew XANA was going to deactivate it anyway and she couldn't afford to lose much needed sleep.
While Aelita was managing to get some sleep, William was a different story.
"We have been connected all this time, even when I was dormant, I could still hear your thoughts, and I could still influence you."
William grunted, trying to sleep but every time he tried, his mind flashed back to what XANA had told him.
Was XANA still a part of him?
If so, how long did he have before he ended up getting possessed again?
Aelita hay have just got her friends back, but William wanted to be part of the group again, he wanted to make up for his mistakes.
Would they allow him to continue being a member after this?
The sun was just rising as a man came upon a familiar looking house.
"So, it's still here after all this time." He mumbled to himself.
He walked up to the door and opened it, peeking inside and seeing everything had been tossed and turned.
"They must have nearly torn the house apart trying to find Aelita and me." He said aloud as he walked in, taking note of everything. "It's nearly destroyed."
Framed pictures…
Albums…
Books…
All of that was ripped and torn, pages scattered across the floor.
"All of our memories…gone." His hand clenched into a fist. "XANA, you caused all of this. You called the Men in Black, giving them our location and because of that I brought Aelita to Lyoko thinking it would be safe, just as you planned. Because of you, Aelita lost the childhood she deserved and has now lost her friends. I fell for your plan before, but you don't I'm still alive yet…If he does though he might call the Men in Black again to stop me before I can help."
That was the real reason he had to keep his distance for now.
Even if it meant keeping the fact that he was alive secret from his own daughter.
"I have to remain dead for now."
Gwen ended up not sleeping at all through the night. She had never pulled an all-nighter before, but oddly she didn't even feel tired when the sun rose. It was like her body would refuse to even think about sleep until this problem was solved.
She wasn't the only one, the other Lyoko fighters and most of the cast were feeling the same psychological effects but for different reasons.
Duncan had more nightmares about the pink haired girl killing Gwen at the abandoned factory so much that he hadn't been able to sleep a bit. So, when he walked out into the cafe a sudden relief hit him to see Gwen alive and well sitting with LeShawna, Bridgette, Geoff, Dawn, Cameron(even those two were on different teams), and DJ. One thing that they all almost noticed immediately was that everyone except those six teens had dark circles under their eyes and felt that the life had been sucked out of them. They noticed this and some of the more observant tired teens had noticed as well.
The observant teens consisted of Duncan, Trent, Eva, Heather, Darth Alejandro, Beth, Sierra and Cody. They watched as DJ, Geoff, LeShawna, Gwen, Dawn, Cameron and Bridgette went about eating breakfast in the lounge.
"Man, you guys sure got lucky; I don't think anybody got to sleep last night." Cody said as he walked over.
"Oh, trust me, I didn't even sleep a wink, don't let the makeup fool you." Gwen tapped the area under her eyes.
"Man, every time I managed to get to sleep, I was having some screwed up nightmares." Darth Alejandro sighed. "Did Chris put something in my drink? I can't even tell what he pours me anymore." He held up a drink container built to be held by the Total Drama Machine's claws.
"I slept great." Bridgette shrugged.
"Me too." Geoff smiled, holding up a mug of coffee.
"Lucky you." Duncan muttered sarcastically.
Eva stomped into the room, accidently bumping into Heather's wheelchair.
"Hey watch it!" Heather shouted.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID BITCH!"
Everyone looked up at this. Heather wheeled back into the wall, scared now that Eva might beat her to death. Like everyone else Eva had dark circles under her eyes and her scowl was ever more pronounced. Anyone who was in Eva's way before moved away to avoid suffering her wrath.
"How come you guys aren't tired like the rest of us?" asked Beth.
"I honestly have no idea, Beth. I just feel fine. Maybe all those times Chris woke us up early I finally got used to having almost no sleep at all." Said Gwen.
"True that, girl." Said LeShawna.
"So, you guys didn't have any of those dreams?" asked Noah with a cranky look on his face.
"What kind of dreams are we talking about?" asked Bridgette.
"Some psycho pink haired weirdo mauling you with a knife." Said Duncan replied.
"They are so scary." Zoey shuddered.
"I know." Mike nodded in agreement.
Bridgette's eyes widened slightly when she and the others heard that. Gwen already knew about the dreams since Cody and Beth told her last night.
"And you all had those dreams?" asked DJ.
"Yeah. It's so scary." Lindsay shivered when she thought about those nightmares.
"What about you guys?" Brick asked.
Gwen and the others shared an uneasy look. She got up after she finished her food and dumped the remains into the garbage before putting it on the pile and walked out with the others following her.
"They know something." Said Heather.
"What makes you say that?" asked Cody.
"Did you see the way they reacted when they heard what those dreams we were having were? Why are they fine but we're exhausted?" asked Heather.
"It may be a coincidence." Trent tried to reason.
"I hate to say it but I think Heather's right." Said Beth.
"They are hiding something." Said Alejandro.
"But what?" asked Cody.
"We should find out." Said Courtney.
"Yeah, I don't think so." Said Noah.
"Why not?!"
"Because I am going to get some sleep after I eat." Said Noah.
"What if you get those bad dreams again?" asked Beth.
Noah shrugged. Heather growled.
"Someone has to follow them and find out what they know."
"I say I should go; I used to be a CIT." Said Courtney.
"Oh, enough with the dumb CIT crap." Said Noah which earned him a smack on the head.
"Well, and Heather, Sierra, Scott and Al can't go, they're still too injured." Said Trent.
"Leave it to me!" Sierra held up her PDA. "As Total Drama's number one fan, I make it my mission to uncover the secrets of every contestant on Total Drama. I'll uncover their secret…or die trying!"
Cody shuddered but noticed Courtney was getting up.
"What are you doing?"
"Just because agrees your number fan should go doesn't mean I will stay. She will no doubt be discovered."
Cody sighed and agreed, him and the others watching Sierra and Courtney hurried to catch up with the others.
Gwen and the others had just made their ways to the benches outside and sat down.
"All right, so what did Aelita find out last night?" Bridgette asked.
"Well, according to her she believes XANA took control of the others cell phones and used them to project visions into their head via electrical impulses in their brains. The reason why they dream of us getting killed at the factory by Aelita is that XANA wants to make them paranoid enough so they would follow us and discover the factory." Gwen explained.
"If they find the computer they might go to the authorities, and they would lock down the factory." LeShawna continued.
"And we wouldn't be able to stop XANA when he launches a real attack." DJ finished, catching on.
"Oh man. That's sneaky." Geoff said with a nervous face.
"Very sneaky." Cameron gulped.
"Right, the problem is that XANA keeps on switching towers to induce his visions. By the time he is done with one he deactivates it and moves onto the other. We can't do anything unless he does something else." Gwen continued.
"So, what do we do? We can't let them find out about the factory and blow our cover." DJ said.
"And if they see Aelita they might get even more suspicious, and we would be in bigger trouble." Bridgette added.
"We can't do anything as long as one tower is activated for only about a minute." LeShawna pointed out.
"So, we sit here and do nothing?" Geoff asked skeptically.
"I'm afraid so, Geoff. The next move belongs to XANA." Gwen sighed.
They were unaware that Courtney and Sierra were recording their conversation with their PDAs from behind, hidden behind the fence separating the street from the studio's property. They stopped recording when they got up to leave and went to show the others.
"I'll show this to the others. You keep tailing them." Courtney whispered to Sierra who nodded and discreetly followed the group.
"So, the people helping you are actually contestants from Total Drama?"
Aelita nodded, a small smile to see Ulrich and Odd in the cafeteria. She knew there were whispers and glances, but she was so happy to have them and Yumi back.
"How in the world did you meet?" Ulrich asked.
"I was in the park when XANA sent out another message, warning me that I was next. LeShawna, Bridgette, Gwen, DJ, and Cameron were nearby, competing on the show when the message went out. A Tarantula was then materialized and chased me to the manhole, managing to hit me in the leg. I thought I was a goner, but they all showed up and saved me at the last second." Aelita explained. "Since I was injured and on my own I kind of had no choice but to gamble on asking for their help. Luckily, they were not only willing to keep it all a secret but ended up being very good on Lyoko. Even better than you two when you first started."
"Oh, I don't know. I think we still brighter since we're the original warriors." Odd commented with a grin.
"Well, they must be good. They managed to hold up against all the new monsters XANA has." Ulrich mused.
"They all are good, even if they were caught in the middle of it all." Aelita nodded. "I think you would like them all. Speaking of, Yumi is coming right?"
"Her parents might be wanting to keep her home for a few days." Ulrich shrugged.
"Speaking of, how did you convince your parents to let you keep attending here?" Aelita asked.
Odd shrugged. "Just got to know what to say."
"Was easy with my dad. Attending the school and keeping up with my studies ever after what happened and he's a happy man." Ulrich rolled his eyes.
"Well, so as long as he doesn't pull you out of school, I guess that's all we can hope for." Aelita looked around. "Speaking of, where's William?"
Ulrich and Odd shrugged, the latter answering. "Haven't seen him since we got back."
William's phone range and saw it was Yumi's number which he answered. "Hey…Yumi?"
"William, glad to hear from you. Listen, Aelita thinks there's an activated tower and wants us all at the factory as soon as possible. I'm in the park, making my way to the manhole."
"On my way." William said, shaking the feeling of uneasiness in him.
He managed to sneak off school grounds just fine and made it to the park in just a few minutes. He saw Yumi standing over the manhole, her head bowed for some reason.
"Hey, Yumi. Where are the others?" William asked. "Isn't there an attack?"
"You are a surprising one, William." Yumi spoke in strange, emotionless tone. "You try so hard to help the people who discard you…It is because you might still…feelings for me?"
William blinked, feeling uneasy now. "Yumi?"
"Do you want to help because you hope I'll start caring for you the way you care about me?" Yumi continued.
"Yumi, what is going on?" William stepped forward. "Look, you made it clear we won't be anything other than friends and I stepped aside. Now is there an attack or not?"
"In a manner or speaking." Yumi lifted her head and he saw her eyes…
Only they were not her eyes.
"XANA!" William gasped but had no chance to react as Yumi kicked him in the stomach, knocking against a tree.
"What's wrong, William?" Yumi asked, lowering her foot. "Aren't you happy to see me? See me experience the very thing you went through? Perhaps I might be more considerate to you now, since I can now feel everything you must have felt while under XANA's control."
William managed to get up, reaching for his cell phone but Yumi kicked it out of his hand. She then launched a punch-jab combo that was sparkling with electricity that forced William to dodge. The tree behind him had its scorched but no fire was formed. Yumi spun and launched a kick at William's head, knocking him down again.
"Come on, William. Don't just stand there. This feels just like old times." Yumi remarked with an evil smile, the Eyes of XANA replacing her normal eyes.
"Guys, look at this!" Courtney ran into the room with her PDA out. They listened to the recording of what Gwen and the others said.
"Who the heck is Aelita?" Duncan asked once the recording was done.
"And what's a Zana?" Trent asked, sounding just as confused.
"Hold on, he said something about a factory and didn't we all see a factory in whatever we were seeing?" asked Tyler.
"Oh my gosh, you're right!" Beth gasped.
"Oh my gosh, do you think Aelita's that pink haired psycho?" Katie asked, glancing at Sadie.
"Could be. Aelita is a girl's name." Sadie nodded.
"See, I knew that they knew something about this." Heather pointed at the PDA.
"But they aren't making any sense." Justin pointed out.
"Yeah. Sounds wacko." Jo nodded.
"He's right. How can someone put these dreams in our head by taking control of our cell phones?" Beth asked.
"That's it! That's why I had those visions when I was awake. When I answered my cell phone I had those freaky visions." Duncan snapped his fingers.
"The same thing happened with me." Alejandro added.
"Dude how can you answer in that bot?" Owen asked, staring at the Drama Machine that held Total Drama's runner up for the third season.
"Well, I missed a few calls, so I asked them to install it into the robot head. It came in handy." Alejandro simply said.
"Yeah, whatever the point is that they know just why we have been getting these visions." Noah reminded, get everyone back on track.
"Yeah, this Xana creep is putting these things in our heads but why?" Trent asked.
"Gwen said it because he wants us to follow them to this factory." Courtney answered.
"A factory they want to keep secret." Heather added.
"And we might go to the authorities." Alejandro continued.
"But why?" Lindsay asked.
"Is there something bad there?" Beth asked.
"Must be if they're afraid." Eva shrugged.
"So, we need to find out." Duncan stood up.
"Won't mean we're doing this Xana guy's dirty work?" Trent asked.
"Hey, Gwen doesn't have to worry about me ratting her out." Duncan replied.
"Yeah, but what about other people here?" Owen asked.
"What could be so bad that we would run to the authorities?" Duncan asked but he had no idea just how dangerous his girlfriend's secret really was.
Everything was going according to plan. He had already sewed suspicion among the other contestants of the group. They had already deduced that Aelita was the pink haired girl in their dreams, they overheard the conversation of the current warriors, and now they will follow them the next time he launches an attack. If the plan went through accordingly, they would leave once they discover the factory.
The authorities would lock down the factory and Aelita and her bodyguards would be questioned. By that time, he would be ready. Kadic Academy and the Studio where Total Drama Reality was being broadcasted from would be gone, destroyed as to show an example of his power and a warning. They could not expect all of them to stay silent.
All that was left now was to bring out the bait.
Aelita looked up when the super scan detected another activated tower in the Desert Sector.
"Is that what I think it is?" Odd whispered next to her.
She counted down the usual time it took before the tower would deactivate on its own, but it stayed active. She waited about three minutes, but she could not wait for long. Not if XANA was now on the offensive.
"Looks like it." Aelita nodded back to Ulrich and Odd. "We'll have to be very careful in getting to the factory."
She quickly speed-dialed Gwen's number.
Gwen picked up her phone. "Hello?"
"Gwen! A tower has activated, and it isn't deactivating, get to the factory." Aelita said. "It's in the desert region."
"Got it." Gwen nodded and hung up. "A tower activated; it isn't shutting off. This might be a real attack, let's get to the factory."
They ran off towards the factory, with Sierra following them from a distance as she dialed Cody's number.
"Hello?" Cody answered his phone.
"Cody!" Sierra squealed. "Oh my god you answered me!"
"Yeah…" Cody sighed. "Something going on?"
"Oh yeah, I think they're heading to that factory!" Sierra answered. "Tell the others!"
Cody lowered his phone. "Sierra says they're going to the factory!"
"The one where they die?!" Trent leaped to his feet. "I'm coming too!"
"Don't think you're going alone, Elvis." Duncan said getting up.
Sierra barely had time to take two steps before her PDA rung again and she checked to see whose number it was.
Cody's number!
She immediately answered. "Cody?!"
Her vision flashed and she was suddenly in the factory and in front of her was Cody…making out with Gwen!
"Oh, Cody. You are so much better than Duncan and Trent." Gwen pulled away. "Will you marry me?"
"Of course, I'll marry you, Gwen." Cody said with a big smile. "And you don't have to worry about Sierra. She died in a roller skating accident."
The images repeated over and over before they finally stopped…
…And leaving an infuriated Sierra with the Eye of XANA pulsing on her forehead. "…Gwen."
The fighters all slid down the cables, having gotten over their fear of heights by now. As they landed, something echoed through the factory. It sounded like a groan of metal being bent. They looked around cautiously.
"Oh man, what now?" DJ asked.
"I think we should just-" Gwen started before something tackled her from behind.
"Wha-"
"Who-"
"Sierra?!"
"I'll kill you, Cody-Stealer!" Sierra shouted, slamming Gwen onto the ground.
"What are you doing, crazy-girl?!" LeShawna grabbed Sierra around the waist and tried to tug her off, but Sierra fought like a wild animal.
"I know you kissed Cody and plan to marry him! I'LL KILL YOU BEFORE THAT HAPPENS!" Sierra grabbed Gwen by the collar, glaring down at her with animalistic rage.
"Wh-What?!" Gwen gaped before Sierra raised her fist…
