Note(s): Oh wow, a Sonic the Hedgehog fanatic writing a Code Lyoko fanfic, isn’t that weird or what? Well, to me it isn’t, as it’s currently my favorite cartoon/anime series. Now, in this fanfic you may notice some similar elements to some of my other “Sonic the Hedgehog” fanfics, since, well, it’s not like my writing style has changed or anything, I’m just writing my first non-Sonic fic, that’s all. And… it happens that I had inspiration to write one about Code Lyoko. So, bear with me, as I, a newbie to Code Lyoko, attempt to write my first non-Sonic fanfiction, EVA’!

Disclaimer: The anime series, “Code Lyoko,” is obviously NOT copyright to me. In fact, it’s Copyright to Canal J. and Moonscoop. Oh yeah, and the characters, Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, Jim, Sissy, William (season 2), Principle Delmas, and everyone else, are copyright to them as well. The only thing I own is the plot behind this mystery fanfic, of which the genre is evident in the title. Oh yeah, the Gameboy Advance SP is copyright Nintendo, and Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Sonic Advance 3, and the level “Altar Emerald,” which cameo appear, are copyright SEGA/Sonic Team.

Unsolved Mysteries

Chapter 1: Don't Run in the Halls!

Aelita, wearing her trademark night-gown with a large “A” on it and carrying a towel, walked past Jeremie’s room and noticed that his door was wide open. Surprised at this, she peeked in and saw Jeremie sitting at his desk, with his head lying on the keyboard, and his glasses crooked. His chest was moving in and out, so it was safe to assume that he was asleep. Walking up to him, she nudged him a little with her hand. “Wake up, sleepy-head.” She said.

Instantly he jumped up. “Wh… what was I doing again?” He asked. Everything looked all blurry and crooked. Well, of course it looked blurry! His glasses were crooked. Re-aligning his glasses, he noticed Aelita standing next to him. “Oh… uh… hello, Aelita, what are you doing here?”

She giggled. “I was heading down to the showers and saw your door open. I noticed that you were asleep and I figured I should wake you. So, late night again?” Jeremie just nodded. “Well, Jeremie, maybe you should get some more sleep. It’s not like it’s going to go any quicker you up half the night. You’d still lose that much time falling asleep in class or at your desk, and you’d also fall behind in your grades too.”

Jeremie sighed. “I know, but I just got too caught up in these notes! I think that they’re may be some secret meaning behind all this, but I can’t figure out what. I did find something very interesting though that may fix the marabounta glitch—if you want to try it again, of course.”

Aelita shuddered. “I’d rather let the Scipizoa take all my memory away, than have to go through that again.” She commented. “Well, anyway, before breakfast is over maybe you should get some rest. I’m going to try and get down to the showers before Sissy gets in line, then I’ll head over there too.” She then made her way for the door.

Jeremie raised an eyebrow and nodded. “That would be a good idea.”

Stopping, she glanced back at Jeremie. “Which one?”

“Getting to the showers before Sissy gets there.” He said, smiling.

Ulrich and Odd arrived in the front courtyard of the school and sat down on a bench. Odd took this as a time to play his game between breakfast and class, so he, obviously, started playing on his Gameboy Advance. The real reason for Ulrich to come out here, though, was to try and catch Yumi off-guard when she arrived. Ulrich just casually sat down, set his left foot on his right knee, set his left elbow down on his left leg, and leaned his head against his hand. This was to make people think he was bored and just wanted to get to class and get it all over with, while he hid away his true agenda.

As Ulrich expected, Yumi walked down the sidewalk outside the school, arriving just in time to get to class. Ulrich couldn’t help but stare at her. She was beautiful, georgeous, lovely, and… beautiful. Who else could describe it? He put both feet flat on the ground, and used his hands to lift himself up off of the bench, but then William walked over to her. Ulrich sat back down and narrowed his eyes in on William..

“Hey Yumi, how’s it going today? Did you sleep well?” William asked her.

Yumi smiled. “Everything’s great. I had a good sleep last night, even though my little brother did wake me up almost an hour early.”

“That’s great to hear!”

Yumi almost laughed. “What, that my annoying little brother woke me up?”

“Well, no. I was just… oh, never mind.” William said, stumbling upon his own words.

“Well, I’ve got to get to class. You coming?”

William nodded. Then they walked into the school together. Ulrich imagined William glancing back at him with an evil grin, but it didn’t happen. ‘That William thinks he’s so good! Well, we’ll see about that later.’ He thought.

Then Ulrich noticed a noise was coming from right next to him. Turning, he saw Odd messing around with his GBA: SP. “What are you doing?”

Odd put a hand up. “Shhhh, not now. I’ve almost beaten Altar Emerald! I hear that if you beat it with all seven chaos emeralds and Sonic as leader, you can play a bonus… hey!” Ulrich noticed the words “Game Over” appear on the screen. He didn’t pay attention to everything else. Sighing, Odd turned it off and turned to Ulrich, “Hey, thanks to you, I died! And it was my last life too! Now I’ve got to start it all over again…”

‘You need to get a life.’ Ulrich thought. “Does it matter? Class is going to be starting soon. We’d better hurry up or else we might just get a few more hours in detention for being late again!”

Odd growled. “But now I’ve got to start the final boss all over again!” He then turned to the sky, threw his hands in the air, and yelled, “CURSE YOU DR. EGGMAN!”

When everything went quiet for a few seconds, with a few stares from some surrounding people, including Ulrich, Odd got out of his pose. “Okay, let’s go to class now.” He said, grinning.

Ulrich just raised an eyebrow and left it at that.

Aelita ran down the hallway. ‘I can’t believe I’m running late again!’ She thought.

Everything seemed to go so well this morning. She got up, woke Jeremie up who fell asleep at his desk again, and went to the showers. That’s when it started. Naturally, Sissy was in line already, but that wasn’t the problem. The showers had to be fixed. After that was settled, she had to wait around a half-hour to forty-five minutes just to get in, get cleaned up, and get changed. Then she had to put her dirty clothes away, and head to eat breakfast. At this time she had to quickly eat and get out because she had to study for a test today in History Class. Then she found herself running late for her morning chemistry class.

She maneuvered around a group of kids chatting, who scolded her for almost hitting them. “Sorry, I’m running really late!” She yelled out.

Flipping around the corner, Aelita almost tripped over a kid who was tying his shoe. She noticed him just in time and managed to avoid hitting him. Another turn was just up ahead, and she should be able to get to class on time. Flipping around the next corner, she noticed the room up ahead. After getting through this corridor and crossing another fork in the hallways, she’d have reached her goal.

Running with all her might, Aelita rushed to the door. However, Ulrich came running around the corner at the last second. Trying to move out of the way, her ankle collided with Ulrich’s leg and they both fell on the ground. “Ugghh…” Aelita squealed. She grabbed her ankle in pain!

Odd caught up just in time. “Well, well, well, look at what we’ve got here.” He stated.

Ulrich pushed himself off of the floor. “Geez Aelita, you need to be more careful!” He shouted noticingtheexpression on her face and the way she held her ankl, he leaned down on the ground. “Hey, are you okay?”

She bit her lip. “It couldn’t be better…” the pink-haired girl managed to say.

“I’ll take that as a no.” Ulrich said. He helped her up, put his arm around her and underneath her arms for balance. “Here, I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

Aelita nodded, biting her lip to avoid screaming. “Thanks, Ulrich.” Was all she could manage.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jeremie rushed to the infirmary as fast as his legs could carry him. Upon arriving, he saw Odd and Ulrich waiting outside. Ulrich put his hand up. “Cool it, Einstein. Don't run in the ’s how Aelita got her sprain too.”

“Hey, Ulrich, weren’t you running too?” Odd brought up.

Ulrich nodded. “Either way, it doesn’t matter whether you helped cause it or were the one who was hurt, running in a common area can cause accidents. Whether it’s you or someone else who gets hurt.” He stated.

“Is she okay?” Jeremie finally stated.

Ulrich nodded. “It’s a mild sprain, but the nurse said that she shouldn’t really walk on it for the next few days. And provided that she completes the classes she missed later, she won’t have to worry about missing them either.”

“Can I go in?”

“Actually, she’s waiting for you.”

Jeremie nodded. As he entered, he could’ve sworn he heard a noise coming from behind him, and Ulrich yelling, “Odd, this is no time to play games!” but Jeremie was too focused on seeing Aelita to pay attention.

She was sitting on the nurse’s table. Her foot was patched up and she sat there, wincing at the slightest pain. He walked in and just looked at her. She looked back, and they simply stared in each others eyes silently, until Jeremie broke the silence. “So, Aelita, um… how are you feeling?”

She strained for an answer. “Uh… painfully.” She finally stated.

Jeremie nodded. After another long silence, he finally sighed. “Aelita, what happened exactly?”

Again, she hesitated for an answer. “Uh… do you want the short explanation, or the long explanation?”

“Well, keep it fairly short.” He said. Though Jeremie badly wanted to know exactly what happened, he felt that it would be best just to make it quick, for Aelita’s sake if nothing else.

“Well, to put it short, I was running late for chemistry class and I ‘ran’ into Ulrich. His hard legs smashed into my ankle and then it smashing into the ground caused a major sprain, at least that’s what I’m told.” She said.

Jeremie was speechless… His girl, HIS girl, got into an accident. “Well, at least XANA hasn’t attacked recently.” Then a few seconds later he heard a beeping noise. “Speak of the devil…” He said.

Swiping out his mini-computer, sure enough, a tower had been activated. Aelita looked up at him. “You were saying?”

Jeremie slapped his hand across his forehead. ‘This will be one long day.’ He though to himself.

Aelita: A virtual humanoid creature who’s been transported to the real world. Aelita is stricken with a virus by XANA, which caused a link between her and XANA. If the super-computer is turned off, then Aelita dies with it. BUT, Jeremie developed a program that allowed him to tell when a tower was activated. This gave Aelita the ability to stay in the real world with the rest of the gang. Not used to this new place, she can sometimes get confused by various things. But unbeknownst to her or anyone else, there’s something about her past they have yet to discover.

Note(s): Yes, that was the first chapter. The references to Odd’s game play a role later on as he continuously tries to beat that dang level! As well as another surprise… Oh yes, I’m sure you’re wondering what I meant about Aelita, ‘eh? Don’t worry, you’ll see soon. Just remember that it’s not canon to the actual plot, just my own ideas thrown together in a FAN Fiction! And, as you can see, I decided to bring back the chapter characters system back from my Sonic fics, except this time I'm only showing one character at a time.

Oh yes, and Yumi DOES have more than a little cameo in the next chapter. I just didn’t feel like throwing her in yet.
