all- we do not own code lyoko. we do own crystal, sapphire, olivia, A.X., lyoddstal and oddstal and Xana 2.0

The smoke cleared and the Lyoko warriors except Oddstal lay on the ground bowled over by the power of A.X. All the others had their normal school clothes on.
Oddstal swayed a few steps holding her head. A light emitted from her heart and became a blinding flash. The light faded and Odd stood with his school clothes on while Crystal was still in her Lyoko form. The only difference was that Odd had a small tye dye blue and purple heart pendant on a gold chain around his neck. Crystal had a small purple heart with blue stripes on the edges on a matching gold chain around her neck. They swayed a few more steps before miraculously hitting heads and knocking each other out.
"Is that it?" Yumi asked standing on slightly shaky legs before giving Aelita a hand up.
"I guess," Ulrich said shaking his head. William gave Sapphire and Olivia a hand up.
"Wow," was the quiet whisper that echoed threw the school grounds as some students watched from shattered windows or open doorways. A few were brave enough to come closer, but it was almost like there was a barrier 20 feet from the Lyoko Warriors.
"They're so cool," "wow" "awesome" they all whispered to each other as if they were afraid of being heard.
"I'll go get Jeremy to run a return trip," Yumi offered.
"It won't help," Crystal said as she rubbed her sore head and slowly sat up. Sapphire offered Crystal a hand up and Aelita helped Odd sit up.
"Why not?" Aelita asked.
"A.X. messed something up. No one will forget what happened here today. The only thing that will change will be the property." Crystal said looking around to see hundreds of pairs of eyes on her and the others. With the wave of her hand she summoned her staff. The students gasped and took an involuntary step back. Crystal sighed and made the staff disappear and leaned on Sapphire. The crowd settled down and took another tenative step forward.
"Is he gone?" Milly finally asked.
Crystal nodded. "For now he is." Milly smiled and the tense air shattered. Whoops of laughter and cheers rang through the air.
Television crews appeared and interviewed the students and teachers trying to understand the disaster, but none of the stories were very believable. All the students talked about giant monsters and warriors with cool powers, flashes of light, dark magic, and a huge battle. It was one of the biggest mysteries of town. Was it a big drug hallucination or a well thought of prank.
The lyoko warriors story traveled quickly threw the students and teachers and they all had no choice, but to believe. As the story spread threw the town and then the countryside the story became less believeable and more of a child's tale, but the kids at Kadic know the truth.
Many kids tried to join the Lyoko warriors, but all were politely turned down as they were less experienced in a battle of this scale and type.
Jeremy and Xana launched a return trip and everything appeared to return to normal.
Weeks passed and not much occurred. A few kids found the lab, but were unable to get in as Jeremy Xana, and Crystal put up new defenses and passwords.
One bright Monday morning in Ms. Hertz class Crystal and Odd looked at each other the same look in their eyes.
"Well?" Ms. Hertz asked. "Hurry and save the world!" she said with a laugh as Crystal and Odd jumped out of their seats and rushed out of the class. Half way down the hall they met up with Yumi, Ulrich and Aelita. Outside Jeremy, Olivia, Sapphire, and William were already waiting.
"Let's go!" Crystal called with a smile as she led the group to the edge of the forest.

-at the factory-
"Virtualization in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . .1 . . . " Xana said.
"no fair how she gets my job" jeremy complained.
"lightin up. we need your help too!" aelita said.
the lyoko warriors dashed for the tower
