==Plot==
One year after the events of the [[Code Lyoko|animated series]]' thirty-episode fourth season, Aelita Schaeffer, Jeremy Belpois, Odd Della Robbia, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishiyama, and newly welcomed William Dunbar return to their daily lives and routines at Kadic Academy. X.A.N.A.XANA, despite their success in defeating it previously, suddenly reappears, reborn with even more strength and power than ever before. The protagonists reactivate Franz Hopper's quantum supercomputer, which runs the virtual world Lyoko, and resume their former double lives in order to protect humanity from the threat of X.A.N.A.XANA once again. Joined by William Dunbar, who has finally been accepted as the sixth Lyoko Warrior, and an unreliable girl-genius named Laura Gauthier, the seven heroes are bent on unraveling the reasons for such a return and to exterminate X.A.N.A.XANA, the [[autonomy|autonomous]], [[sentient]] [[multi-agent system]]/[[artificial intelligence]] that is threatening humanity once again.
 
X.A.N.A.XANA is currently unable to take over the network due to it missing some of its essential "Source Codes," which it injected into the Lyoko Warriors, except for William, during their final virtualization in the original series, and is now trying to steal them back through its polymorphic specters. Jeremy reasons that if X.A.N.A.XANA regains all of its Codes, it will take over the internet again and nothing will stop it. One benefit to having Codes, however, is that the carrier can deactivate towers on Lyoko under X.A.N.A.XANA's control, making all but William capable of doing so, as opposed to just Aelita alone. With the help of Laura, Jeremy works to write a virus that will be capable of hopefully eradicating X.A.N.A.XANA for good this time.
 
In addition to X.A.N.A.XANA, the gang eventually discover that they have another dangerous enemy, a Swiss [[mad scientist]] named Professor Lowell Tyron, who seems to be the one responsible for unintentionally reactivating X.A.N.A.XANA. He claims to have no knowledge of X.A.N.A.XANA, despite its high level of activity in the Cortex system, which is a Replika (a virtual world that is similar to Lyoko) that Tyron created. He commands a group of several virtual human avatars in green and black-striped ninja-like costumes to counter the Lyoko Warriors' efforts to hack into his system. In Professor Tyron's lab, the group also discovers Aelita's long-lost mother, Anthea. They seek to discover why she is with their new enemy and how to reunite Anthea and her daughter.

In the [[Cliffhanger|cliffhanger finale]], it is revealed that Prof. Tyron has been married to Anthea for four years now, making him Aelita's stepfather. Tyron attempts to coerce Aelita into telling her friends to abort their plan to destroy the Cortex and coming with him, as he has legal custody of her, or risk never seeing her mother again. Aelita ultimately chooses to forsake her mother and go through with their original plan, and Tyron orders his subordinates to shut down his supercomputer while the Lyoko Warriors are still inside. They barely escape, having just injected Jeremy's virus into the core of the Cortex, which means that X.A.N.A.XANA would be destroyed upon rebooting of Tyron's supercomputer, unless either X.A.N.A.XANA was able to back itself up, or Tyron is able to repair his supercomputer, and by extension, X.A.N.A.XANA along with it; never truly confirming whether X.A.N.A.XANA was entirely destroyed a second time nor the identities of the Ninjas and the long awaited reunion between Aelita and Anthea.

According to Sophie Decroisette, head writer for the [[Code Lyoko|original show's]] first 3 seasons, ''Evolution'' is not considered canon to the original show.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=TNbLcNNufwySKZf6&v=O-54txNxIYQ&feature=youtu.be |title=Exclusive interview with the creators of Code Lyoko... a potential sequel ft.

=== Main ===
'''Jeremie Belpois''' ''(French: Jérémie Belpois)''
:Portrayed by: Marin Lafitte
:A thirteen-year-old [[Child prodigy|computer genius]] and top student in class, Jeremy was the one who originally found the [[Supercomputer]] in the nearby abandoned factory and turned it on, beginning the group's struggle against X.A.N.A.XANA. He believed he'd defeated X.A.N.A.XANA using a [[multi-agent system]] of his own creation in the finale of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' and was dubious that X.A.N.A.XANA had returned at the start of ''Code Lyoko: Evolution''. Once the Lyoko Warriors start fighting X.A.N.A.XANA again, Jeremy returns to his workaholic nature, often staying up late to work on programs such as the virus he intends to use to destroy the Cortex. He spends a lot of time working alongside Laura, causing Aelita to become jealous. He is able to outsmart both X.A.N.A.XANA and Professor Tyron most of the time, and even Laura Gauthier.
 
'''Aelita Schaeffer'''
:Portrayed by: Léonie Berthonnaud
:Primarily known by her alias, '''Aelita Stones''', she's the smartest of the group alongside Jeremy. Her father, Franz Hopper, created the Supercomputer, Lyoko and X.A.N.A.XANA, and ultimately sacrificed himself to try and stop X.A.N.A.XANA once and for all. Aelita sometimes struggles with the reality of his death and the return of the enemy he died trying to defeat. She has a strong bond with Jeremy but his relationship with Laura causes her to be jealous. After she finds out that her mother, Anthea, is alive and working with Professor Tyron, Aelita is determined to contact her so that they can reunite. Aelita has been implanted with some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes, making her a primary target for its polymorphic specters.
:On Lyoko, Aelita has pointed elf ears and the ability to summon a pair of white-and-pink angel wings in order to fly and carry another with her. Her "weapon" is her "energy fields," orbs of pure pink electricity that can be thrown to destroy an enemy from a distance. She can also generate a large energy shield made of the same sort of pink plasma by combining it with her creativity. She is able to still deactivate towers on Lyoko, due to the annex program she has had for several years. Due to the similarities between Tyron's supercomputer and her father's, Aelita is able to open the door of the Core Room in the Cortex with her creativity, a blue aura around her body as opposed to her melodic [[Siren (mythology)|siren]]-like sounds. Her additional psychic ability of [[Clairvoyance|second sight]] is not used.
 
'''Odd Della Robbia'''
:Portrayed by: Gulliver Bevernaege
:The comic relief of the group and a bad student who isn't interested in studying. He shares a dorm with Ulrich, where he used to keep his dog Kiwi. Between the events of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' and ''Code Lyoko: Evolution'', Odd sent Kiwi home to stay with his four elder sisters, but he misses his dog dearly. He is considered a [[wikt:ladies' man|ladies' man]] and spends most of the series pursuing his love interest Samantha Suarez. His hair is now brown instead of blond, but retains the purple streak at the front. Odd has been implanted with some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes and is a target for X.A.N.A.XANA's specters.
:On the virtual worlds of Lyoko and the Cortex, Odd is like a cat, having a tail and clawed gloves which he can use to climb walls. He can summon an additional set of gauntlets over his gloves that shoot many blue six "laser arrows" all at once, wiping out several monsters or ninjas from a distance, something he was incapable of doing in the original show. While he still retains some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes, he is fully capable of deactivating towers on Lyoko, an ability he loses in "Massacre." As with the original show, his only psychic ability of "[[Anticipation|future flash]]" is never given back to him nor his once spatial ability of [[teleportation]], even though he tries to get Jeremie to upgrade/modify weaponry and greatly strengthen each of their [[Superpower (ability)|superpowers]] or even give them new and stronger ones entirely, like purple [[Heat vision (fiction)|laser eyes]] for him, to which Jeremie decided against said upgrades/modifications and advancements, despite the fact that they would make his five best friends' considerably stronger on both Lyoko and the Cortex.
'''Ulrich Stern'''
:Portrayed by: Quentin Merabet
:A more reserved member of the group, Ulrich has a hard time sharing his feelings. His parents pressure him to achieve well in school, but he has difficulty learning and living up to their expectations. In his off-time he practices [[karate]] and [[judo]]<!--Not pencak silat!--> with Yumi, whom he has a crush on. He often butts heads with William, who he sees as a rival. Ulrich has been implanted with some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes and is a target for its polymorphic specters.
 
:On Lyoko, Ulrich wields dual [[katana]]s. His "[[Superhuman speed|super sprint]]" ability allows him to dash at high speeds and to run on walls, and his "triplicate" power lets him create two clones of himself which he controls mentally to confuse his targets. His "triangulate" ability is never used, even though it gives more of an advantage. He still retained some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes, being capable of deactivating towers on Lyoko until Episode 25 (122) "Massacre."
 
'''Yumi Ishiyama'''
:Portrayed by: Mélanie Tran
:A fairly reserved student who lives near and attends Kadic. She is the oldest of the group. She is of [[Japanese people|Japanese]] descent. She was initially very resistant to the idea of turning the Supercomputer back on again after signs of X.A.N.A.XANA's return. She practices [[judo]] with Ulrich, whom she has a mutual crush on, though it's not as obvious as Ulrich's crush on her. She's good friends with William, who's in her class, and doesn't like the idea of excluding him from the group now that X.A.N.A.XANA has returned. Along with the rest of the Lyoko Warriors, she was implanted with some of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes.
 
:On Lyoko, Yumi's main weapons are a pair of [[Tessen fan]]s which appear in her hands at will. Later on, Jeremy programs her a pink-and-white [[bō]] staff as well which she uses occasionally in only four episodes. Her superhuman balancing skills enable her to scale platforms quite easily without falling. She can deactivate towers on Lyoko as long as she still retains a few of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes by the [[cliffhanger]] season finale "The Ultimate Mission". Her one-and-only [[Superpower (ability)|power]] of [[telekinesis]], which has been given a somewhat greater boost since the original show's Episode 69 "[[List of Code Lyoko episodes|Double Take]]", is never used nor mentioned even once.
 
'''William Dunbar'''
:Portrayed by: Diego Mestanza
:An overconfident student in Yumi's class. William is initially kept uninformed about X.A.N.A.XANA's return because the group are distrustful of him. However, he eventually regains their trust and is allowed to fight alongside them. He still has feelings for Yumi but is more respectful of her boundaries. He has a rivalry with Ulrich. As he wasn't present on Lyoko during the final battle of the original series, he wasn't implanted with any of X.A.N.A.XANA's source codes.
:On Lyoko, he retains his black outfit and some of his powers from his time under X.A.N.A.XANA's control: enhanced strength and "Supersmoke," which allows him to transform into a cloud of black smoke, move at great speed and even fly. His weapon is a [[Zweihänder|giant sword]] which can release disc-shaped [[shock waves]] that can wipe out two monsters and Ninjas from a distance. He has not used his [[Levitation (physics)|levitation]] ability.
 
'''Laura Gauthier'''
:Portrayed by: Pauline Serieys
:The temporary seventh member of the Lyoko Warriors. She's a highly intelligent student, rivaling Jeremy in class, and has a keen interest in computing. She discovers Lyoko, the factory, and the Supercomputer after following William to the factory without his noticing. Her main role is to assist Jeremy in matters that even Aelita could not help in, such as advanced coding and constructing viruses. She is generally viewed with suspicion by the others due to her uninitiated status. She lacks sympathy towards Aelita's situation and enjoys spending time with Jeremy, so Aelita displays some animosity towards her. When Laura rebels against Jeremy, goes to the factory with William and sends him to the Cortex, William nearly gets captured by X.A.N.A.XANA as he did in the original series. After the Lyoko Warriors stop the Scyphozoa from fully possessing William, Jeremy kicks Laura out of the group and erases her memories of the factory, the supercomputer and Lyoko. However, due to having a certain card in her bag, she inadvertently and unknowingly gives Tyron direct information on the whereabouts of his teenage adversaries. She appeared in just twelve episodes. She shares the last name of Theo Gauthier, a Kadic student who debuted in the original show's episode "Claustrophobia", however both he and Laura are not related.
 
=== Antagonists ===
'''X.A.N.A.XANA'''
:Sometimes spelled '''XANAX.A.N.A.'''. A very powerful and dangerous [[multi-agent system]] or [[artificial intelligence]] that returns from ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' to serve as the main antagonist of the new series. After its supposed destruction in the original series, it was revealed in ''Code Lyoko: Evolution'' that X.A.N.A.XANA survived by taking refuge in the Cortex, a sector generated by Professor Tyron's supercomputer. X.A.N.A.XANA activates towers on Lyoko and sends specters in the form of human beings to get close to the heroes and drain them of its source codes, which are a share of its power implanted in them before its previous downfall. X.A.N.A.XANA is determined to become complete again so it can take full control of the world network. Even though the team's supercomputer gets shut off again, it does not effect the A.I. since stealing the Keys of Lyoko from Aelita in [[List of Code Lyoko episodes#The Key|the animated show]].
 
'''X.A.N.A.XANA's Monsters'''
:The virtual creatures X.A.N.A.XANA uses to protect the towers it has activated and try to stop the heroes from accessing them, or to stop them from reaching the center of the Cortex. There are several different types of monsters, some inspired by real-life animals. X.A.N.A.XANA also sometimes sends monsters to keep Tyron's Ninja avatars from finding out about X.A.N.A.XANA's presence in his supercomputer.
 
'''Professor Lowell Tyron'''
:Portrayed by: Franck Beckmann
:The secondary antagonist, responsible for the creation of the Cortex within his own quantum supercomputer in Switzerland. His character is unintentionally responsible for X.A.N.A.XANA's rebirth as well as antagonizing Jeremy and his friends. He used to work with Franz Hopper, but was fired after not listening to his instructions and being too conceited. He later betrayed him by stealing blueprints to create his own supercomputer. After an unknown sequence of events, he married Anthea; this also makes him Aelita's stepfather.
 
'''Ninjas'''
:Human avatars, similar to the five Lyoko Warriors, that are sent to the Cortex by Professor Tyron when necessary from his laboratory somewhere in [[Switzerland]]. Tyron lacks the technology to virtualize human beings directly into a virtual world, so he equips his staff with special suits that allow them to control Ninja avatars on the Cortex. Each Ninja is identical: faceless and green with white stripes, and armed with dual swords. They're masters of martial arts and stealth, with the ability to melt into the floor and resurface behind an enemy to take them by surprise, they also have the ability to Super Sprint like Ulrich and use telekinesis to freeze enemies like Yumi. They're also able to travel across the Digital Sea without any protection. Their mission is to stop the Lyoko Warriors from interfering with the Cortex, and they make formidable opponents.

'''Waldo Franz Schaeffer'''
:Portrayed by: Hugues Massinat.
:Primarily known by his alias, '''Franz Hopper''', he is the late father of Aelita and first husband of Anthea Hopper-Tyron. He had died sacrificing himself to assist Jeremy in wiping out X.A.N.A.XANA once and for all, at least for a time, in the penultimate episode of [[Code Lyoko episodes|the original series]] and only appears in old videos or photographs. His very essence seems to be linked with the Heart of Lyoko itself, as Aelita is known to be speaking to something or someone when wanting to consult him about whether he had anything to do with X.A.N.A.XANA's sudden return, and later assures him that she will do everything in her power to find his wife. His archives on his work regarding the supercomputer and Lyoko have fallen in the hands of his former colleague via Anthea marrying Professor Lowell.

Jérôme Mouscadet, who served as director of ''Code Lyoko'', and Sophie Decroisette, head writer for the original show's first 3 seasons, were involved early in ''Evolution'' before leaving due to creative differences. Decroisette specifically wrote the bible for ''Evolution'' and synopses for the first couple episodes with Mouscadet, but ultimately left after "I... saw that production wanted to be on a particular story level that didn't agree with my ideas for the series."<ref>{{cite web|title=Q&A with Sophie Decroisette|url=https://en.codelyoko.fr/interviews/qr_sophie_decroisette.cl|website=CodeLyoko.fr|date=2016}}</ref>
