Introduction/About the Radioplay:
The original Code Lyoko is about four students of the boarding school, Kadic Junior High Academy - Jeremie/Jeremy Belpois, Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, and Yumi Ishiyama - leading double lives as virtual heroes in the world of Lyoko and as boarding (or day students, in Yumi's case) students of Kadic Academy. The series basically follow their adventures as they try to rescue both a virtual being trapped in Lyoko - Aelita - and both the worlds of Lyoko and Earth from a virtual being bent on world domination: X.A.N.A.
In this radioplay, the main story takes place several years after the original series' end, where Jeremie and Aelita are a couple attending INRIA, Ulrich is the soccer coach of his old Junior High school, Yumi is a private vocal teacher, and Odd is a street painter and a part-time gymnastics instructor.
After Aelita gets into a car accident just outside of INRIA campus, she is rushed to the hospital in Boulougne-Billancourt - 2.3 miles outside of Paris - for trauma treatment.
Waiting in the lobby of the hospital with minor injuries from pulling Aelita out of the wrecked car, Jeremie makes a call to Ulrich, whom he had lost contact with for over 10 years. Yumi is contacted through the hospital as Aelita's emergancy contact, and Yumi passes the message onto Odd, who joins in the rush to reach the hospital. There, they meet again and discover that fate has decided for them to stay together...
