Afterword

Movie is over. Credits are rolling. Anyone who feels like leaving can do so now. Go ahead, I won't take offense. You're not missing much. Not that you know about, anyways.

Still here? Good.

Okay, yeah, I know. It's imperfect, and it's not what everyone wants. You didn't like it? Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? There's plenty of other Code Lyoko fics out there, I know. But even if you didn't like it, you read it, and I thank you for that. Reviews or no, just having people read it is important. At least, it is to me.

Another thing: My spelling is inconsistant with the spelling used in the show. If you haven't taken a look at the publishing date up top, let me tell you: I started this over three years ago now. There wasn't as much information available to me- not in English, at any rate- and I was stuck using a three-page Wikipedia entry (Compared to however many pages of articles now), plus whatever could be gleaned from those first season episodes. Hence, my improper spelling of the school name (It's supposed to be Kadic, not Cadic.) and my usage of the English spelling for Jeremie's name (ie, Jeremy).

Nowadays, of course, I know better, but there's more information in English nowadays, and my understanding of French is a heckuvalot better than it used to be.

Let's see...oh, yeah. Songs I used. Gotta name those. Folks who actually made and sang them deserve credit. Listing is by group, then song title, then chapter (by my numbering) the song is found in:

Ill Nino, How Can I Live? (Chapter 4)

Seether feat. Amy Lee, Broken (Chapter 4)

Ill Nino, This Time's For Real (Chapter 8)

Nickelback, Savin' Me (Chapter 12)

Artist Unknown, Animorphs Opening Theme (Chapter 12)

Aly & AJ, Rush (Epilouge)

Anyone who cares to talk can either e-mail me at Yahoo (silverthorn2000) or usually find me on MSN Messenger at (Hotmail) silverthorn2000 , or under the screenname Silver. You've got a better chance by e-mail, though, as I usually check that more regularly than I sign onto MSN.

Not much else to say, and the credit time should be almost up.

Hm. Don't they usually sneak something in after the credits in movies these days?

Overhead, unnoticed by either, a raven flew past, headed to a spot on a factory several blocks away. It landed, briefly, on the shattered window of the factory's control room, before taking to the air again.

“Not dead...”

Inside the control room itself, a monitor flickers briefly, before dying again.

“Not dead yet...”

The monitor flickers again, then comes to life, a red eye superimposed on the darkened background.

“Only temporary...Only a temporary body...”

The monitor dies again, and then the whole bank flickers to life, each a part of the larger image: The Eye of Xana.

“You've not beaten me, children...not yet...You only destroyed a temporary body...my spirit remains intact. We'll be seeing each other again, very soon...”

Laughter wells, and as it begins to echo, the monitors die.

Fin.
