//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Arrival // Story: Code: Lyoko: Friendship Awakens // by DanBoeing //------------------------------// Code: Lyoko Friendship Awakens: The Different World A Code: Lyoko/ MLP fanfic This story takes place about a year after My Little Dashie It’s not nessecary, but it’s a nice story that helps understand a key moment(s) later on in the story. . Chapter 1 “Today is going to be a great day!" Jeremy thought to himself. Today was the last day of the school year for all of them. It had been a rough one for the gang. Having destroyed X.A.N.A. and shutting down the super computer was a victory to remember, but no victory comes without sacrifice. Aelita's father, Franz Hopper, had sacrificed his own life to destroy the deadly M.A.S. he had created. They would never forget that day, and now they were going to leave the school forever. Jeremy had been so lost in his thoughts he forgot what he was doing. “Oh no! I’m going to be late!" said Jeremy after bolting out of his room. “Hey, where's Einstein? Did he forget we were all going to meet at the factory to pay our respects?" asked Odd. “Don’t worry Odd; I’m sure he wouldn't forget, he probably just had something to finish up." said Ulrich reassuringly. "Ulrich does have a point, I'm sure Jeremy wouldn't forget." Said Aelita. " Look, here he comes now!" Everyone watched Jeremy come running to the factory entrance. Jeremy thought to himself as he ran, remembering everything that happened here from turning on the supercomputer, until the fall of X.A.N.A. "Hey Einstein, what took you so long?" Odd asked. “Oh... um... I was just finishing up something I had to do." Jeremy replied. " I told you Odd." Ulrich said with a smile on his face. “Alright you win, now come on, let’s go inside." said Odd. The door to the supercomputer room opened, they all watched as the giant machine rose out of the ground, but something wasn't right. When the four of them finally realized what was wrong, all they could do was stand there in shock. "B-But that’s imp-possible..." Jeremy stuttered. The supercomputer was on! Not only was it on, but instead of its yellow glow, it had a bright blue light! Someone was here, and had done something to the machine. “This can't be good..." said Odd. “I’m going to the lab to check it out, you three keep looking around to see if you find anything." said Jeremy as he climbed the ladder out of the room. Jeremy quickly ran to the screen of the supercomputer and booted it up. Someone had been here alright... Jeremy thought to himself. Something bothered him though. Why had someone come here? How did they even get in? Those were the only things Jeremy was thinking, but he soon stopped and looked at the screen. It was completely different from before! it looked all broken, like the data was ripped right out of it. Among the mess he could see a window, for a program he had not seen before, it had been running for several days apparently. He soon realized there was something about the program that seemed familiar... There was an image of The Core of Lyoko on it, it looked like a black hole replaced the core, and was sucking everything inside it. " JEREMY!" Jeremy stopped after hearing Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita scream in unison. He quickly rushed down the ladder into the supercomputer room where he was almost pulled off the ladder by an extremely powerful force. He held on with all his strength and looked in the direction the wind was blowing. It was not blowing, but being pulled into a black hole, just like the one in the core chamber. To the left, he saw Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita hanging on to the elevator door. “Jeremy! We can't hold on much longer!!" shouted Aelita, tears streaming from her face. Jeremy could only watch in horror as one by one, his friends fell into the dark void. Soon, Jeremy could not hold on either, and was pulled into the void. It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, the sky was clear and the sun was beating down with the rays of summer. Pinkie Pie was overly energetic (as usual) and was bouncing her way across town. Apple Jack was kicking the apples out of the trees so she could sell them to all the hungy ponies that needed it. Rarity was messing around with a new dress design, she didn't really like it, but she was too bored to care. Fluttershy was tending to her (millions of) animals, giving them baths, feeding them, everything that they liked. She enjoyed the time with her animals, even if some acted spoiled. Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky, making sure there were no clouds, while also doing some tricks and attempting to do a sonic rain boom, but ended up crashing into the ground right outside Twilight's library. Twilight was reading, because other than her friends, its the only thing she enjoyed. She had to stop due to the fact that when Rainbow crashed, she caused all her books to fall off the shelves. “He-he... Uh... sorry about that Twilight" said Rainbow, trying not to laugh. Twilight sighed "It's ok Rainbow, I'll just have spike re-shelve them." Rainbow Dash took off as Twilight went back to her book. As she was walking back, something strange started to happen, he horn started to glow a bright blue. "What's going on? it never glowed that color before." Twilight thought aloud. Suddenly... the lights cut out, and all she could hear was a distant roar of thunder. In under just five seconds, the beautiful sky had turned into a raging thunderstorm. Thunderstorm was different though, the lightning had A bright blue light coming from it, just like Twilights horn, which was still glowing. "What the hey is going on?!" Rainbow Dash shouted at the other weather ponies . "There wasn’t any type of storm planned today, or for the next 3 weeks!!" "We don’t know what’s going on either, we sure as heck didn’t do it." replied one weather pony. "Well if none of us did... then who?" asked Rainbow Dash. She jumped back just as a bolt of lightning struck the ground right before her. "Hey what the-" she was cut short when her mind began to flare up with memories connecting to that lightning; it seemed so familiar to her. It didn't take her long to realize what that storm really was, thanks to her memories, and Twilight. Daddy... Rainbow Dash thought. That storm and lightning were the same one that teleported her to that different world, almost one year ago. Dash began to tear up as the thoughts of her beloved father came flowing back to her. Every pony in Ponyville, even Canterlot, stared at the sky. Even the two fair princesses Celestia and Luna stared at this storm, not knowing what was going on. Celestia did have a hunch on what it was, and she soon realized she was right. it was the same storm that sent Rainbow Dash into the other world. By her logic, instead of it taking some one this time, it would probably send someone to them. "I hope you can stop this Twilight..." Twilight and her friends gathered around her as the all stared at her, frightened. Fluttershy was acting weird though, she wasn’t cowering in fear, she was acting courageous, and standing up tall. It was Rainbow Dash who was cowering, but not in fear. "I-I-I don’t know what’s-" Twilight was stopped short when Apple Jack's hoof went into her mouth, telling her to be quiet. "Now Twilight, ah know that you don’t know what’s goin’ on with this weather, we all do, but your horn is glowing like them lightning bolts, and ah see a connection between you and them." said Apple Jack with a stern look on her face. "It's the same storm that sent Rainbow dash to the other world... But why has it started up again, and why is my horn glowing?" asked Twilight. "Sugar cube, we only know 'bout as much as you do." said Apple Jack. "I can try to find out more... just let me- GAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight stopped mid-sentence to let out a bloodcurdling scream of pain as her horn's light grew so bright it blinded all of them
