CODE LYOKO: RETURN TO THE PAST, NOW: EPISODES 1-2: BOOT UP

So we return 2 years before the origin episodes to the Canonically 1st episode of this show-Teddy Godzilla. We are introduced to 2 new characters, Milly and Tamiya, two seven year old Junior Reporters for the school paper. It's the night of the prom and Sissy is up to be crowd queen once again, trying to get an interview, Sissi instead jeers the young Milly, calling her "a little baby" with noone to go out with, when she asks out Ulrich and he politely Declines, it sends Sissi into a laughing fit! Millie runs off hiding in a shed with her teddy, confiding in the toy all the feelings of revenge she has right now...

Iknow we are in France, but if this was Paris and not Burgundy, that teddy bear would be possesed by liquid shadow right now, WAIT A MINUTE!

Minutes Later, Sissy is her dorm, and her underwear (14 years old!) when she is attacked from behind in a scene straight out of a 16 certificate movie! The attack is serious enough for Mr Delmas to investigate and both the Junior Reporters and the Lyoko Warriors do their own snooping!

Millie returns to the shed to see her bear is gone, turning to see Jim who gives out to her and Tamiya, When Millie calls him out on the patronizing and double standards at KADIC, Jim grounds them from the prom. Only for the Bear Now a Storey High, to whoop Jim so hard he ends up in the infirmary. Odd meets Millie and looks for her bear, after Photos Tamiya takes shows it under Sissi's pillow, But finds it gone when he turns up. Jim Tells Delmas a bear attacked him but doesn't believe him. With Yumi at home and at least one Lyoko warrior should stay behind to protect people, Odd is sent to Lyoko to the 1st mission in the Desert Zone...and it is ugly! shapeless mounds of sand, craggy rocks connected by coiling wires and an orange film tint to like harsh sunlight!

Running from Kankerlauts into a Quarry, we see Odd's Special Ability, he can see the future, called Future Flash and it's not pretty, actually it's Aelita's Shtick for 3 seasons: falling from great heights. But Odd prevents it when it happens, finding a secret tunnel to a hidden Red Tower, Guarded by "Old Friend", but this is the 1st time we see what was at this time XANA's heaviest hitter, the Megatank, A building size Bowling ball that houses an Electromagnetic Pulse held together by Organic Sinews, creations like these will give way to more cyberorganic creatures later on

Anyway Aelita enters the tower, enters the code lyoko and jeremie activates the Return to Past program to hours ago, this time Ulrich says yes to Milly asking him out and that's a wrap for this episode, But not before i use this joke!

"YOUR MOTHER PLAYS CARD GAMES IN HELL!"
Episode 2-Seeing is Believing-is a filler episode that focuses on Odd and what will become is major personality trait: his flirting. At the same time, it's revealed that the school has it's own Nuclear Power Plant (for reasons like the tunnels to the factory on campus, that will become clear in time!) becomes the target of Xana's attack this time, meanwhile, odd holds auditions for his bands new drummer, refusing Nicalous just because he hangs with Sissi, in favour of a hot girl. He learns his lesson after the Deus Ex Machina, but not before we see Ulrich's power to Triplicate for the 1st time, and so we return to the concert about a song about Aelita.

Must agree with The Squidgy and the short-lived Code Lyoko Abridged, they should have played this song!
And there we Log off!
Join me next time when the Lyoko Warriors fight my greatest Enemy...THE BANK HOLIDAY! And in episode 4, Sissi tries to win the Heart of Ulrich in the most romantic way possible...BLACKMAIL!

WHEN WE RETURN TO THE PAST!

NOW!
