This idea deals with the French animated series by Moonscoop, Code Lyoko, and the MSPA web comic by Andrew Hussie, Homestuck. The thought occured to me to wonder what sort of effect Hopper tech would have on Skaia and Sburb. And this whole crazy idea occurred. So, I decided to make this thread dedicated to ideas revolving around a possible plot of the Lyoko Gang ending up playing their own Sburb session. Anyone familiar with both franchises, please feel free to pitch in your own ideas.
Sburb's creation
Franz Hopper discovered the Frog Temple and decoded the game code within it. However, when he realized what the game would do, he immediately locked his work on Sburb away in the hopes it would never be released. However, when fate demands Sburb be played, there's no stopping it. Anticipating this, Hopper had a few programs that would correspond with Sburb and Skaia in the supercomputer he would later create in his otherwise unrelated attempt to counter the shady military Project Carthage.
The Lyoko Gang's Involvement
The gang is away from each other at the time and decide to play that new game that's out to get in touch with each other. As each Lyoko Warrior enters the Medium, Jeremie monitors these events from the supercomputer and begins to realize what's actually happening. With the sober understanding that it's too late to stop these events from happening, Jeremie decides to run his software from the supercomputer so they can at least have that advantage when the Medium pulls him in.
XANA, unfortunately, becomes interested in this new dimension, and much of the gang's activities revolve around going to Lyoko to shut down any attack their old nemesis throws at Skaia and the surrounding lands. Meanwhile, Jeremie begins discovering the programs related to Sburb that Hopper left in the supercomputer. They allow him to perform various feats such as monitoring different areas of the Incipisphere and generate Captcha codes for the gang's virtual gear and different parts of the supercomputer hardware. Among the things he alchemizes from the hardware codes is a portable computer interface (following the same general principle as Jade's Lunchmuffs or Dave's Turntop) and--using the others' cell phones--holographic communicators.
After some more thought into this, I've decided Yumi will be the first in the chain to enter and Aelita... would've been the last. However, when things get complicated and Yumi's in a situation on her land that leaves her in no position to bring Aelita in on time, Aelita brings William into all of this and send him copies of the programs. And this actually ends up ultimately working out a whole lot better than the last time he joined their gang on a major mission.
The Lyoko Gang's Planets and Roles
I actually haven't thought much of this one, really. I picture Aelita being the last to enter and being the Hero of Space, so her planet would be the Land of (Something) and Frogs. Jeremie I'd like to imagine as the Hero of Time. Page of Time, maybe? Aelita would prototype her sprite first with Mr. Puck (making Pucksprite) and then after entering the Medium with a flash drive containing the remaining virtual codes of her lost father (making it Franzsprite, whom they eventually learn the origins of the game from).
Shades has suggested a Land of Mountains and Trees, for Odd in virtual gear to take combat advantage of, and a Land of Plains and Gales, for the more samurai-themed Ulrich, by contrast. His ideas for titles has been Bard of Heart for Odd (Always cheerful, keeping everyone's spirits up), Knight of Breath for Ulrich (Speed like the wind... and Knight because that's a clear combat role), and Witch of Mind for Yumi (Her telekinesis and her levelheaded logic).
Given how UU's been starting to explain the different titles and classes, and in some cases they weren't exactly what we were expecting, I think I'll wait until they're all explained before I go confirming everyone's titles here.

I'll edit this post as these things are further discussed. What ideas do you guys have in regards to things like what the kids' titles, planets, and sprites would be? Further thoughts on Hopper and XANA's roles in this mess? Other things they'd alchemize? What role Jack and his gang would play? Heck, who and what the First Guardian is?
