Episode 1: Prologue
In an office like throne room, a tan faced Middle Aged human with black hair slicked neatly to the back with two long bangs that hung freely to the side stood at a large window overlooking a city with a red sky. He was wearing a white lab coat like the one a scientist wears when in the laboratory. His reflection showing in the window showing calm black eyes but he gave off a vibe of power and control. "Hmm…"
A simple two tap knock was heard on the door. A silhouette was in the doorway having been the one that had knocked.
"Come" was the man command
A teenage boy about 16 to 17 in a black and purple outfit and emerald green eyes emerged from the silhouette equipped with a blade shaped like a red pointed wing with a black hilt and a large blue gem in the middle at his side sheathed though a metallic pouch on his belt. "Father," The boy said "I have returned."
The man smiled slightly which reflected in the window. "And did you get what I requested, my son?"
"Yes Father," was the boy's response. "She is right here." The boy waved his right hand forward and a white hovering and glowing pad slowly entered carrying a pink and silver outfitted teenage girl about 16. The boy walked with the pad and both stopped at a small set of stairs in front of a large office desk. The boy kneeled down and showed respect to the man holding his right fist in front of himself and lowering his head.
"Hmm, Hmm" The Man chuckled while turning and looking at the girl with an expression of delight "Well done my son," He complimented "Did you leave the note like I told you to do?" He asked
"Yes I did, Father." The boy said in a tone of respect.
"Excellent," The man said as he turned back to the window looking at his son through the reflection. "Soon my son we shall be rid of the only threat that prevents us from taking over the world." He stated then chuckled "The Lyoko Warriors thought they got rid of me but I shall let them know I still exist."
"Father?" The boy questioned still in his kneeled pose "Why do we need to let a few human children who think you are dead know that you exist? Surely they will try to destroy you and me again if they find out."
The man looked back at his son "Xanatos," He called the boy by name like he was teaching something to him "the humans have a saying that revenge is a dish best served cold…" He looks to the girl on the platform. "That girl and her friends are your murders and my creator sacrificed himself to destroy me. I must show them that you can not destroy me or those I care about and get away with it." His face contorted into a scowl as a dark aura surged around him "They must pay one way or another. The Lyoko Warriors and my creator will be shown that no one and I mean no one destroys XANA and gets away with it."
Xanatos nodded slightly "I understand Father," He said "but wouldn't it be easier to just use this world power and attack them like you used to on Lyoko?"
"It would be my son." XANA responded then sighed slightly "however this world still believes I am not a hostile threat to the real world and that humans want to destroy this world no matter what the Chosen One said. We must keep that charade up. That is why I've captured Aelita and using her to lure the rest of the warriors into my trap."
Xanatos hummed "and what if they survive your trap Father?" He asked
XANA made a casual wave of dismissal "Then I let them free." He answered "If they prove they can adapt when a new challenge is shown then they are worthy to live for now."
Xanatos nodded again "hmm…"
The girl started stirring on the platform and slowly woke up.
Xanatos noticed this and said "Father, she is waking up."
The girl opened her eyes and tried to move when she noticed she couldn't due to a force that was generated from the pad "What?"
XANA chuckled and said, "Good Morning Aelita."
Aelita turned her head to see XANA and suddenly turned fearful as if she was reacting in fear to just even seeing XANA "Zh… Zh…" She stuttered.
XANA laughed again at her fear. "Yes it's me," He stated calmly "it's been a while since our last meeting; you look well." It seemed XANA was trying to engage in causal conversion with Aelita but Aelita was scared out of her wits.
"But how?" Aelita asked in fear "you were beat." She stated "my father he..."
"tried to destroy me using that Multi Agent System…" XANA finished calmly then turned cross "It almost worked too." He growled then smirked "but a piece of me survived and now I've upgraded thanks to this world I discovered just after my supposed deletion." He explained
Aelita looked around "Another Lyoko?"
Xanatos smirked slightly "You wish…" He muttered
Aelita tilted her head to see Xanatos "what…" she blinked "William?"
XANA shook his head and smirked "not quite, allow me to introduce you to my son Xanatos"
Xanatos stood up and looked at her with a bit of an evil grin "I am looking forward to meeting your friends that killed me not so long ago…" He stated with a dark calmness of someone being at an advantage over another "I owe them a painful death for what they did me."
Aelita blinked "what they did?" She asked in confusion
"To bring the kid you called William back to the real world you had to destroy me. My Father's only son the one he truly cared about." He explained then unsheathed his blade and held it to Aelita head "I should start with you since it was you who figured out how to do it but…" he removed the blade "I would have much greater pleasure in destroying you in the heat of a battle along with the rest of your friends"
"You will get your chance my son." XANA stated "However you must be patient."
Xanatos nodded "Yes Father" He sheathed his blade, "How long do you think it will take for them to get here."
XANA looked at a watch that was on his wrist "Hmm," He hummed "They should just be getting up now… it is seven o-clock now I expect them within the hour"
Xanatos nodded "If they haven't shown up by 8:01 then I'll have to settle for the pleasure of destroying only you Aelita" He started laughing uncontrollably as if he was an evil maniac.
XANA joined in on the laugh.
Aelita stared up into the ceiling of the room and remained silent taking it all in "Somebody, Anybody" Her mind screamed "Help ME!"
The laughter could be heard outside of the building as it echoed through a city with a dull red sky with Various XANA Monsters patrolling it, The sound went past that city borders and even to other cities nearby it all with a red tilt to their skies and red paths connecting them all.
The background warped to a swirling tunnel of color that seemed to be going backward like someone was fleeing that scene.
"I haven't got much time." A panicked adult male voice said "My name is Kevin Fulmer I am the Chosen One of the Virtual Realm. To anyone who's listening to this message we are under attack. A dark sentient Program by the name of XANA has come to take over the worlds I have sworn to protect. As I speak the entire area known as the Internet who supports these worlds is rapidly being taken controlled by XANA. I have seen his power face to face and to say I'm fearful for my life and all the others lives as well is an understatement. However I have heard rumors of a group of warriors who have defeated XANA before. They are called the Lyoko Warriors and anyone with the information on where the Lyoko Warriors are located is urged to warn them. XANA is back and he has a new title, he is the Shadow of the Internet, and we need them to save us all."
The message and screen became silent as the background went blank but then the theme of Code Lyoko started to play as the title sequence began
