( 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:
CODE: TOTAL DRAMA REALITY
( No Pain No Game (From Btoom!) Ends )
Episode 23: Acceptance Part One
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…
Geoff moved in next and with DJ's help tugged Sierra away from Gwen, the crazed stalker biting and scratching at both of them.
"What is Sierra doing here?" Bridgette helped Gwen to her feet.
"I think the others are on their way too." Gwen realized. "Remember, they all had visions of us here…and we led them here!"
"It's just Sierra and she's loony." LeShawna pointed out. "I'm sure we can move and make sure no one else finds us here."
"Gwen!" A pair of voices called out.
"Bridgette!"
"DJ, Geoff, what's going on here?" Duncan called from above at the entrance.
Gwen looked at LeShawna who had a sheepish look on her face. "Too late."
The hatch opened, allowing Ulrich to climb out first, followed by Aelita and then Odd. As soon as they were up, they noticed a large crowd right outside the factory.
"Uh…Were we expecting guests?" Ulrich asked.
"I know them. Those are the other Total Drama contestants." Odd realized. "What are they doing here?"
"XANA must have lured them here to expose the supercomputer." Aelita realized. "We can't let them see us."
"Guess we can take the other way in." Odd pointed to the hatch below the entrance. "We can sneak past them since they are all distracted."
Aelita looked conflicted but nodded. "I just hope William and Yumi catch up."
Ulrich and Odd both secretly shared a glance.
POW!
"Gah!" William fell to the ground but rolled away and struggled to stand up.
He knew Yumi was tough, but this was just next level. So, either she was always this tough which he could believe, or XANA was enhancing her strength like he did with every possessed victim.
Himself included.
"It's a pity this had to happen, William." Yumi remarked as she strolled forward. "You might be surprised by this, but I think that XANA's greatest mistake was ever letting you go. Too bad it just didn't work out."
"Yeah…" William managed to stand up. "Cause now I'm on the side that will do everything it can to stop him. That includes fighting against anyone he controls."
"Really?" Yumi raised an eyebrow. "You'd actually fight me? Even I am an innocent victim under XANA's control?"
"You fought me when I was possessed, and I don't recall you ever pulling your punches." William retorted, taking a defensive stance.
Yumi simply chuckled and then charged at him, starting with a kick. William managed to block the kick and threw Yumi's leg up, causing her to fall on her back. William aimed a punch but the XANA symbol in Yumi's eyes faded, and she looked afraid…
"William? Wh-What's going on?" Yumi asked in a fearful tone.
That face…
The way she spoke…
He should have known it was a trap…
But he still froze and that gave Yumi the time she needed to backflip and launch a barrage of kicks at William, forcing him back.
"Nice place here, guys." Duncan slid down on one of the cables. "So, you've been sneaking to hang out in an abandoned factory? Can't blame ya since I doubt Chris has any cameras. Just wondering why you never told me, Gwen."
Gwen sighed, rubbing a hand through her hair. "Long story, Duncan and I made a promise not to tell anyone, even you without everyone else agreeing to it. Believe me, I have thought about telling you but that needed a group vote."
Duncan raised an eyebrow but said nothing as Courtney's voice came from behind. "Ha! Like I'll believe that!"
'Oh great.' Gwen, LeShawna, and Geoff sighed, knowing what was about to come.
"You and the others are up to something, admit it!" Courtney pointed at Gwen.
"She kissed Cody!" Sierra screeched, still struggling in DJ's grip.
"What?!" Practically half the group exclaimed.
"I did not, Sierra." Gwen shook her head. "I haven't even been hanging out with Cody since we got here."
Cody had a small sad face at that but was ignored by Courtney who just let out a laugh. "Ha! Well, well, Duncan looks your girlfriend went behind your back just like she did me!" That caused the rest of the group to look at Courtney who blinked. "What?"
"Were you and Gwen dating?" Katie asked.
"What?! No!" Courtney exclaimed, now blushing.
"But you said-" Sadie stated.
"I meant she kissed someone else behind Duncan's back like she kissed him while he was still my boyfriend!" Courtney hissed through gritted teeth.
"No, she didn't because we didn't get back together." Duncan crossed his arms. "We only had a make-out moment on the bus but that didn't mean we were back together."
Courtney threw a harsh glare at Duncan for that.
"I think we're getting a little off topic here." Brick raised his hand, only to flinch when Courtney directed her glare at him.
That was when Courtney's cell phone sparked and her mind was overwhelmed with images.
Gwen and Duncan kissing in the confessional during World Tour…
Kissing again in Area 51 and deciding to get together…
Making out on the beach…
And then again on the boat at the start of the fourth season…
Courtney grit her teeth as the Eye of XANA pulsed on her forehead, which everyone noticed.
"Courtney?" Bridgette asked carefully.
"I'LL KILL YOU, BOYFRIEND STEALER!" Courtney snarled as she charged at Gwen.
"NOT BEFORE I KILL THE CODY-STEALER!" Sierra hit the back of her head on DJ's face, causing him to cry out as he dropped her.
'Oh crap!' Gwen thought with widened eyes and knew there was only one thing to do.
She took off running, just narrowly avoiding Courney and Sierra pouncing on her and possibly mauling her to death.
"LeShawna, take the others and go! Help Aelita get to the tower!" Gwen shouted as she ran down the factory lobby.
"Are you nuts? What about you?" LeShawna called out.
"Never mind me! Hurry!"
Bridgette helped Geoff into the elevator while DJ, Cameron and Dawn ran in.
"LeShawna?" Bridgette asked, seeing the Sister with 'Tude not following them.
"Go on ahead." LeShawna replied, glancing over her shoulder. "I'll stay and help Gwen."
"Okay, good luck!" Bridgette called out, closing the elevator.
"Hey, where are you going?" Trent exclaimed as the elevator door closed while LeShawna chased after Gwen.
"Right now, I'm going to help Gwen before the two maniacs kill her." Duncan said as he followed LeShawna.
The elevator opened to reveal the lab and Aelita along with Odd and Ulrich.
"Aelita, we got a serious problem." Bridgette said as she and the others stepped in.
"I saw. XANA led your friends all here." Aelita replied as she stood up. "And they're chasing Gwen through the factory."
"Yeah, and Sierra and Courtney are leading the charge. Outside of Heather, those two nutcases hate Gwen the most." Geoff remarked.
"Courtney's not a nut case." Bridgette glared at her boyfriend.
"She kind of is." DJ remarked with a nervous look as Bridgette looked at her. "What? She tried to kill me. I haven't forgotten that."
"And we haven't forgotten right now that her and Sierra's negative traits have been amplified to a dangerous degree." Dawn cut in. "And we have to hurry before the lab is discovered."
"I agree with that." Ulrich spoke up. "By the way, I'm Ulrich and this is Odd."
"I watched your show. Big fan by the way." Odd said with a smile.
Only when Dawn looked at them…she paled.
"Dawn?" Cameron asked, seeing her go pale.
"GET AWAY FROM THEM!" Dawn suddenly screamed. "THEY'RE POSSESSED!"
Everyone jumped back from Dawn, all of them shocked as she stepped back.
"Wha-What?!" Bridgette exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Geoff asked.
"I can his Eye in them! They're controlled by him!" Dawn took another step back, trembling.
"That's impossible." Aelita stepped forward. "I scanned for any sign of XANA's data. They were completely clean."
"Then where is William? And the other one?" Dawn quickly replied, stepping against the wall.
Aelita paused as Ulrich and Odd looked at her, the latter speaking up. "You don't think we're actually possessed, do you? You rescued us."
Aelita looked torn, confused. "I…"
William was thrown to the ground again. He struggled to stand back up, now heavily battered and bruised.
He spied his cell phone nearby.
Yumi grinned as she approached…
"YUMI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" A voice shouted from behind.
William and Yumi turned to see Sissy standing there with a shocked look on her face.
What was she-
William shook his head and ran for his phone, picking it up and quickly calling Aelita.
Aelita's phone rang, and she quickly answered, seeing William's ID on it. "William?"
"Aelita, Yumi's possessed! She's been possessed the whole time and I think Odd and Ulrich are-"
There was punching sound and the line going dead.
Aelita's eyes widened and she paled as she looked at Odd and Ulrich who stared back with calm eyes…Eyes that immediately changed into a familiar Eye. "No…"
"So much for the easy way." Odd sighed…and then held up his hand that sparked with electricity.
That was all the time Aelita had to register before she was blasted to the other end of the lab, hitting the wall.
"Aelita!" She faintly heard the others, the TD Lyoko Warriors calling out her name before she blacked out.
Before they could help, Ulrich held up both hands and blasted them to the opposite side of the lab.
"Guess these guys aren't as good as the originals." Ulrich smirked, lowering his hand.
Odd walked over and picked Aelita up. "And now we're on the winning team."
He walked over the elevator as Ulrich sat down at the computer, activating the automatic virtualization sequence. He then followed Odd into the elevator and the doors closed, leaving the TD Lyoko Warriors in the lab as Cameron struggled to get up.
"Got to…get…help." Cameron groaned as he crawled over to the chair.
"WHERE ARE YOU, GWEN?!"
"COME BACK AND HERE DIE!"
Gwen had to hide in the machine room as Courtney and Sierra chased her. She managed to duck under the conveyor belt before they entered the room.
"All right is enough, you two!" LeShawna's voice came from behind. "You two have officially crossed the crazy line!"
"Shut up! I am not leaving until that gothic boyfriend stealer pays her due!" Courtney shouted, turning to face LeShawna as the Eye of XANA pulsed rapidly on her forehead.
"And I thought you were crazy before." LeShawna remarked. "Whatever, you're not hurting Gwen so just give up."
"Yeah." Duncan's voice came from behind.
"Oh boy." LeShawna sighed as Duncan came up from behind, followed by Trent, Cody and Harold.
"LeShawna, what is going on?" Harold asked. "Where did that elevator take Bridgette, DJ and Geoff?"
"And Dawn and Cameron?" Zoey came up from behind with Mike, both of them looking very concerned.
"Look, Harold. I would love to tell ya but I made a promise to keep something important a secret." LeShawna said, looking at the boy who had been sweet on her for a long time. "Trust me, it's better if you don't know."
"Wow, way to quote any movie with a deadly conspiracy in existence." Duncan crossed his arms. "Well, we're all here and we want answers."
Odd placed Aelita in the nearest scanner before he and Ulrich entered the two empty ones. Once the countdown reached zero, the scanner doors closed, and they were virtualized.
Cameron made it to the chair as the rest of the TD Lyoko Warriors in the lab regained consciousness.
"Oh man. I haven't been zapped that bad since 'Truth or Electric Chair." Geoff groaned, rubbing his head. "What happened?"
"Dawn was right. Ulrich and Odd are possessed and they just virtualized Aelita onto Lyoko." Cameron replied, seeing she was in Sector 5.
"Oh man." DJ stood up. "That was not cool."
"Dawn, how did you know?" Bridgette asked, looking at Dawn.
"I saw their auras and it was tainted by that horrible Eye." Dawn shivered. "And I knew it meant it wasn't Aelita's friends were looking at."
"You've got to explain how that works." Geoff commented.
"I cannot." Dawn shook her head. "It's something I was born with. I have been able to see the auras of everyone around me and I could understand them on a deep level."
"We can talk about this later." Cameron brought up the virtualization sequence. "We need to get to Lyoko and help Aelita before something happens."
"Right." The rest of the group nodded.
"I got the scanners ready."
As the group turned to the elevator, Bridgette noticed that Dawn wasn't following them. "Dawn, where are you going?"
Dawn was at the latter and starting to climb. "I sense William is in danger. I'll be more useful trying to find him and help Gwen and LeShawna. You go help Aelita."
The others shared a confused glance but when they looked back, Dawn was already gone.
"Boy, she's quick." Geoff commented.
As the rest of the TD group were arguing in the machine room, their cell phones suddenly sparked.
That when the images came back…
Trent seemingly sabotaging his team for Gwen's sake…
Gwen dumping Trent…
LeShawna badmouthing Harold along with everyone else…
Duncan kissing Gwen…
LeShawna falling for Alejandro's charm, letting him manipulate her…and kiss her?!
Duncan bullying Harold…
Gwen being eliminated in World Tour…
Eva being eliminated by everyone…
Courtney bargaining with everyone's lives for the prize money…
Courtney suing to get back on the show, manipulating several of the contestants without any remorse and repeatedly betraying their trust in order to ahead in the contest…
Sierra repeatedly violating Cody's boundaries, touching all of his personal items, even trying to forcefully marry him…
Courtney flirting with other male contestants on the show to get back at Duncan, including Tyler who was in a relationship with Lindsay…plus all the times she kicked him in the groin…
LeShawna stepped back as everyone seemed to look very angry as the Eye of XANA pulsed on their foreheads. "Uh…Everyone okay?"
"You know what, Courtney? I'm glad I dumped you!" Duncan suddenly shouted, pointing a finger in Courtney's face. "You were a high-maintenance control freak and I'm only sorry that I accidently got Gwen eliminated instead of you! I mean, watching you bawl on the ground like a baby was so pathetic!"
"And you know what?! I never actually missed you while you were gone during the third season before you came back, and I missed you even less!" Courtney shrieked.
"GWEN-STEALER!" Cody shouted, jumping Duncan's back, punching and scratching at his face.
"GET OFF ME!" Duncan shouted, pulling Cody off and throwing him to the ground.
"CODY!" Sierra screamed and then turned to Duncan with an infuriated face. "YOU ARE DEAD!"
"Will everyone knock it off?! What's going on here?!" LeShawna shouted, trying to keep everyone from tearing each other apart.
"What is going on is that you are keeping some crazy secret and I'm going to find out and then I'm going to watch as the cops drag you and the goth away in hand cuffs!" Courtney shouted, holding out her PDA. "Sending Gwen to jail will be the best thing for me ever!"
"Courtney, stop!" Gwen shouted, lifting up from behind the conveyor belt. "This has got to stop!"
Courtney turned around, eyes narrowed. "Gwen…"
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened with Duncan. I have said before that I was sorry and all you did was throw it back in my face. Guess what, Courtney, Duncan kissed me! I never stole anything from you and still you blame me for it when we both know this was going to happen anyway!
You were a complete bitch to him, even if you didn't have it coming you should have seen it! I know you well enough to know that you should have been smart enough to see it coming so don't act like it was a surprise because I refuse to believe that. You knew we liked each other and still you did nothing to stop it. Instead of changing for the better, to be the same girl he fell in love with the island you still acted like a over-controlling psycho and let it happen." Gwen took a deep breath. "I am sorry for hurting you and for ruining our friendship. But just remember this, Courtney, I never stole him, you drove him away.""
She had hoped her words would have some effect on Courtney as she paused and thought over what Gwen said…
Then the images came back.
Gwen and Duncan kissing in the confessional during World Tour…
Kissing again in Area 51 and deciding to get together…
Making out on the beach…
And then again on the boat at the start of the fourth season…
Gwen and Duncan kissing in the confessional during World Tour…
Kissing again in Area 51 and deciding to get together…
Making out on the beach…
And then again on the boat at the start of the fourth season…
Gwen and Duncan kissing in the confessional during World Tour…
Kissing again in Area 51 and deciding to get together…
Making out on the beach…
And then again on the boat at the start of the fourth season…
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Courtney threw her PDA to the side and lunged at Gwen who ducked out of the way.
"Transfer, Geoff. Transfer Bridgette. Transfer DJ."
The scanners closed on them.
"Scanner, Geoff. Scanner Bridgette. Scanner DJ."
The lights in the scanners travelled up their bodies.
"Virtualization."
Aelita opened her eyes and saw…blue.
She groaned and sat up, looking around and saw she was in Sector 5.
"Enjoy your rest?"
She froze and looked to see Odd and Ulrich standing a few feet away from her, their forms…
"No…" Aelita stared in horror.
Their outfits now resembled their upgraded forms but were now black. Their skin was ashen grey, their eyes orange with the black Eye of XANA replacing their normal human eyes. Odd's purple face markings were now black, and his cattail had a pointed end now.
"Surprise, Aelita!" Odd declared with a wide grin, spreading his arms out. "I thought this would be easy but your friend…she really figured us out. Have no clue how she did that."
That's right…
Dawn somehow knew they were possessed by just looking at them.
A shrieking sound was heard and Aelita froze in terror.
"And here's another old friend." Ulrich remarked as a familiar creature came around the corner.
The Scyphozoa!
Aelita raised her hand to conjure an energy field but Ulrich dashed behind her and elbowed her in the back.
"Sorry Princess." Ulrich grinned evilly. "No acts of final defiance today."
