Maiden Voyage is the sixth episode of Season 4 and the seventy-first episode of Code Lyoko.

Plot[]

The episode opens with a rock climbing lesson in gym class. Jeremie does poorly climbing the rock wall and falls, after which he is chastised by Jim for being unathletic. Later, in the cafeteria, the Lyoko Warriors discuss the Skid when Mr. Delmas announces that it is Fire Safety, Risk, and Prevention Day at Kadic Academy. Due to FSRP Day, all afternoon classes are canceled and all buildings on campus must be temporarily vacated and locked as part of an evacuation exercise. After being persuaded by Aelita and the others, Jeremie agrees to take advantage of the lockout to go to the Factory to perform a test run of the Skid.

Just before the lockout begins, the group heads over to the Factory, and Aelita, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi are sent to Sector Five. They are each energized into the Skid and Aelita pilots the ship out of Sector Five. Jeremie then tells them that the test was successful and they should head back to the hangar but they try to persuade them to go further as this is a perfect time to see what the Digital Sea looks like. Jeremie reluctantly agrees and allows them to dive into the Digital Sea for the first time. After the dive, Jeremie loses a contact with the others for a second but it turns out everything is fine and the dive is successful. Aelita sends Jeremie a video of how the Internet looks like and the others explore it further. Suddenly, Jeremie discovers a bug in the navigation systems on both the Skid and the lab's interface. Without a navigation system, the Skid loses its ability to return to Lyoko, and is effectively lost in the Digital Sea.

Jeremie reveals that the Skid can only stay in the Internet for a short time and that once it runs out of power, it will disintegrate, killing the crew along with it. Jeremie then reveals that he owns a CD containing subprograms that can debug the system, but that it is located in his dorm room. Aelita tells Jeremie to retrieve the disc, and he leaves the Factory. However, on campus, Jim denies Jeremie entry into the dormitory building due to the evacuation exercise and he is forced to sneak in through a side entrance.

In the Digital Sea, its color suddenly changes from blue to red and the Skid comes across a large sphere and begins to be pulled in by its gravity. Odd tentatively suggests they have somehow found Lyoko again, but Aelita realizes that the sphere is not Lyoko and is forced to use a large amount of the Skid's power reserves to break away from it. On campus, Jeremie finds more teachers guarding the halls of the dormitory building, and climbs onto the roof to avoid being seen. After experiencing mild vertigo and nearly falling, Jeremie regains his composure the is able to scale the building's gables.

Then, two large eels approach the Skid, and Aelita attempts to elude them after they open fire. Meanwhile, Jeremie finds an open skylight leading to the attic and reenters the dorm building, where he proceeds to his room and retrieves the CD. After being spotted by a firefighter, Jeremie escapes from campus and enters the manhole in the park.

Jeremie arrives back in the lab and begins the debugging process as Aelita releases the Nav Skids, allowing Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi to battle the eels in order to protect the Skid, which has lost a dangerous amount of power. When the debugging is completed, Jeremie sends Aelita the coordinates back to Lyoko. The Nav Skids reattach to the Skidbladnir, and Aelita escapes the eels, returning the ship safely to Lyoko.

Later, the Lyoko Warriors convene in the lab where they discuss the Digital Sea. Aelita and Yumi worry about Franz Hopper and William respectively, and Ulrich wonders what the sphere they encountered was. Jeremie suggests the sphere was a Replika of Lyoko created by X.A.N.A. with the data he stole from Aelita for currently unknown purposes. Then, when Jeremie explains he was forced to scale the roof of the dormitories to retrieve the CD, the others laugh at the irony of his poor performance in gym.
