Avec quelques temps de retard du à des modifications de dernière minute, je publie la dernière page de cette Rubrique Monstres qui est maintenant close à jamais : les Ninjas de Tyron ! Attention, article très long (4 pages sur Open Office).

Tyron's Ninjas
Only enemies of the Virtual World which are not under the aegis of XANA, the Ninjas are new entities which will make a entrance in the heroes' universe, during their apparition on the Cortex.
Tyron's agents in the Virtuality, they are the almost exact alter ego of the Lyoko-warriors. Really above the monsters of XANA about fight skills, they gave headaches to the virtual fighters. Welcome on the page where everything about the Ninjas is revealed.
History and existence :
The Ninjas are an exceptional category of virtual beings. They are not controled by XANA. They obey to Tyron but have their own will… and their existence on the virtual world is particularly close of the heroes' one. Explanations !
The heroes are virtual avatars generated by virtualized human beings. Let's remind what is virtualization. The scanner of the Factory analyzes the body and the mind of the human. It collects informations, converts the whole into computer datas and conceives a virtual avatar from the subconscious. Ultimate stage : the scanner splits the body (dematerialization) and creates the avatar so elaborated on the Virtual World (virtualization).
When the outer layer is too much damaged, it disappeared (devirtualization) and the scanner automatically recovers all the datas and reinjects it in the human body it recreates (rematerialization).
The Monsters, them, only are intelligent programs of the virtual world comparable to the vehicles of the heroes. They virtualize themselves, have had their days and are devirtualized (definitive disappearance) when they suffer too much.
The Ninjas match with a third system, developped by Tyron. When Tyron betrayed Hopper, Aelita's father already conceived the Supercomputer. Tyron could have copy and reproduce the machine to the almost identical, then create his own virtual world : the Cortex.
In all likelihood, Hopper didn't conceive the scanners yet when Tyron betrayed. Tyron doesn't have the technology of the virtualization. When the heroes started to nose about the Cortex (or even before), Tyron had few means of defense. He so had to elaborate his own process.
Tyron's Ninjas are human beings. Probably Tyron's employees : We see him calling them clearly in the episode 20 «Espionage». However, they never appeared for us. They must be very available becase they are extremely fast to be sent on Cortex when Tyron realizes it needs to (Episode 18 «Tenacity») predominantly to protect the interface of the Cortex and remove the DMA peripheral of the heroes. It also happened once that Tyron uses his Ninjas to protect a tower he activated to make the heroes fall into the trap of a time loop (Episode 24 «Temporal Paradox»).
The scientist sends them with special outfits. These ones only appeared once. Many mysteries surrond them. The most likely scenario is the following one : A human being gets into the outfit. Inside this one, his body and his consciousness are linked to the Supercomputer of Tyron. The individual surely loses consciousness and his mind is transfered to a virtual avatar generated by the machine on the Cortex.
What differences with the process of virtualization ?
Unlike what many people think, the two systems equal and the outfits of Tyron are not inferior to the scanners about interest (although technologically less advanced).
After the virtualization, the body is destroyed. In Ninjas' outfits, the mind is just separated… at least dived into an alternate reality which is the Virtual World. Phenomenom a priori less dangerous…
A scanner can manage an infinite number of individuals. The outfit of the Ninja can only contain one body at once.
The virtualized heroes keep their personality and obtain an avatar personalized after their own images. The individuals who penetrate the outfits obtain standardized virtual avatars all similar about look, weapons and powers.
Many mysteries still surronder Tyron's process.
Does every Ninja stays conscious of who he is as human being ? Or does he obtain just for a time the abilities of the human brain of the individual in the outfit ?
Are humans' minds projected in the Ninjas safe from the hazards of the Virtual Worlds ? For example, do they wake up if the Ninja falls in the Digital Sea ? Or their mind are lost forever ?
Are the individuals in Ninjas' outfits experts in fights in real life ? Or they gain their martial ability once in the Ninja's body ?
Can Tyron devirtualize himself his Ninjas ? Will he be able to upgrade them like Jeremy did with his fighters ?
In conclusion, we can say that the alternative process created by Turon to act in the Virtual World is the illustration of his intelligence. Even deprived of scanners, the scientist showed some genius which has little to envy from Hopper's one.
Martial abilities :
The Ninjas have a phenomenal martial ability and this, at any point of view.
At first, they are powerful. Their double short sword is a virtual weapon. Although standard, a well hurled hit is sufficiently devastating to get the better of a virtual outer layer in one shot. The twinning of the weapon also does that the Ninja has an excellent ability at close combat : in all the swords sports, the double weapons permit to combine attack and defense in sumptuous combos. The Ninjas have no harm in warding off Ulrich's assaults or even Yumi's fans.
Combined with their strength, the Ninjas also are efficient at hand-to-hand. They dodge and return with an impressive speed. Ulrich bears the brunt of it during his first fight against them (Episode 08 «Virus»). Even William, yet the most powerful of the group at hand-to-hand thanks to the combined use of his strength, his sword and his Supersmoke loses his duels face to the Ninjas (Episode 14 «Intrusion»).
Besides, like the heroes (in Code Lyoko Evolution), they have a titanic physical strength. He is able to do huge jumps and to land on his legs with no problem at all. And even his physical hits are destructive : Odd is being one-shot with a violent kick (Episode 14 «Intrusion»).
With the strength comes the speed. The Ninjas are brisk. They are able to cover great distances fastly… So they can hurl fast and deadly hits, even when they're going to be devirtualized (Episode 16 «Confusion»). The most impressive fact is the Ninjas' ability to ward off even the bursts of Odd's laser arrows !
Last crucial point, the Ninjas are clever. If XANA's monsters are basic programs, the Ninjas are humans. They aren't fooled as easily as the monsters of XANA. They adapt to the situations, they anticipate and they react.
They show discretion and use their powers at their best to surprise the heroes and meticulously get rid of them. Sudden apparition, surprise stab, everything is used. At fight, it changes everything. The only way to defeat them is to surprise them with being unpredictable and crafty (Episode 10 «The Warrior Awakens»). The use of these powers like the Supersprint (Episode 16 «Confusion») or the Triplicate (Episode 14 «Intrusion») is often useful to defeat them.
There's just one fault because nobody's perfect. The Ninjas have few life points. Their resilience is lesser and consequently, the least hit is fastly fatal. However, this weak spot is maybe the only element that makes them still vulnerable face to the Lyoko-warriors.
This weakness may come from the difference of process between the virtualization by scanner which splits the body to create an autonomous virtual avatar on one hand and Tyron's process which just links the human mind to a virtual outer layer.
Powers :
The Ninja has a frightening power. They can go through any element of set. This allows them to merge into the ground, walls and ceilings. Thanks to this ability, they can make discreet and surprising entrances. It also allows them to move without being overdrawn and even to dodge some attacks.
At last, major point :they can disappear with style with infiltrating in the ground once their dirty work done.
A more unique power is the one that two Ninjas unleashed against Aelita and Yumi in the episode 16 «Confusion». With the help of a green beam of «encoders», they were able to immobilize the two young girls. A prolonged exposition to this beam would, according to Aelita, have permitted the Ninjas to «block them in the Virtual World». Jeremy will however operate just in time. The exact definition of the effect of this power stays difficult to define. Was it about a definitive virtualization like when falling in the Digital Sea ? Or is it something else ?… We don't know.
It remains to be seen whether other powers but had been used by only one Ninja.
The Ninja from the episode 14 :
In the episode 14 «Intrusion», Tyron works out a plan of attack. The Ninjas simulate an overwhelming defeat in the Core of the Cortex. But, it is just a diversion to allow one of them to follow the heroes, to cling on to the Skidbladnir and to reach Lyoko to set down a transmitter.
Moreover, note that it will be the only time that Tyron uses a Ninja for attack and not for the defense of the Cortex. Also the only time that a Ninja ventures far from the Core of the Cortex.
This Ninja is relatively atypical because, in one episode, he deploys a display of powers that his collegues won't use anymore, despite their great use. At first, he has the gift of being invisible. It allows him to track the Lyoko-warriors without being seen, even by Jeremy. This power seems difficult to maintain for the virtual miserable wretch because he needs some rest to reactivate it.
He then uses a sort of Supersprint in Ninja way. The fact that he can chase the Megapod makes him out to be a fastest Ninja than his collegues, even if it isn't proved logically.
Last blindsiding element : Clutched to the Skid, the Ninja survives in the World Network, despite the huge pressure of the Digital Sea which crushes the computer bodies in the flows of datas. This element is noteworthy because a few things survives in the Digital Sea : XANA and Hopper (As a reminder, the two most powerful entities of the virtual world…), and the virtual bodies especially made for it (Namely the Skid and the submarine monsters…).
Many explanations are to contemplate. We can either voice the hypothesis that the Ninja was protected of the Digital Sea by a field spread by Tyron (the same field that made him invisible ?). We can also attribute this resilience to the particular process that Tyron uses to send human minds in the outer layer of the Ninja. The link between the mind and the virtual avatar may be stronger and as the Ninja keeps a hot spot (the human brain contained in the outfit used for tranfer), the Ninja's avatar would become more steady than a virtualized Lyoko-warrior and would avoid the digital scattering… All of this only staying speculations.
Last possible explanation : the Ninjas may all have the ability to survive the digital bathing. After all, Mantas proved some episodes later (Episode 18 «Tenacity») that a monster can be hybrid : Evolve at the same time in the Network and in the Virtual Worlds.
The fact remains that this Ninja will stay atypical in comparison with his collegues.
Maintenant, je vais enfin pouvoir passer à la prochaine traductions : les Tours ! Je m'occupe des deux versions (CL et CLE), mais je ferais ca plus en douceur, contrairement à la Translation (traduite en une après-midi+soirée), et les Ninjas (traduit en 3-4 heures) _________________ Note de Thran : Signature supprimée car trop grande.
