    Summary

    Make your argument concise or don't make it at all, Dad used to tell Damon.

    Of course, it was stupid and a waste of effort to try to explain himself, the debater knows: Dad never cared about reasoning, he cared about punishments.

    Or: Damon does not care about winning, he cares about being heard.

    Summary

    The Tree of Ignorance blooms into his vision, and as gaudy as it is impossible (the mechanics he plans to investigate when he's less unnerved, less sleep depraved), it isn't what catches his eye. A cascade of monochrome ombre hair faces him as it moves carefully around the tree, and Wolfgang instinctively his fists at the sight.

    Ah, yes. Eva Tsunaka. The self-proclaimed Ultimate Liar.

    What kind of talent is Ultimate Liar, anyway?

     

    Or: In which Wolfgang has unanswered questions and Eva's there to answer none of them.

    Summary

    It has been 12 years since the children who called themselves the Lyoko Warriors shut down the Supercompter for the final time. Since that day, they have grown up, gone on with their lives, and almost without exception, grown apart. They scattered themselves across the world, intentionally or not, and built lives far away from the memories of the war they fought.

    But their lives are all brought to a halt when strange dreams return to Aelita's psyche and old teachers all vanish, and the consequences they had been running from for years finally come to pass – the forces that brought Project Carthage into existence have returned to salvage a new weapon from the ashes of the one they had tried to build before. To do so, they need a man who was once a vessel for that which they seek to rebuild. And so, the Warriors must find him, too – to prevent the evil they sealed away from rearing its ugly head once again.
