A/N Yes, I know I should be working on Diaries, but, unfortunately, I have temporarily lost interest in that fic... and the fact that my only encouragement for it is that my best friend has nothing else better to do doesn't help much. I don't really like the beginning of this chapter, but it gets better near the end. Not sure when updates will be, since I'm going to be re-writing random episodes and icorporating them into the plotline... so expet them once every two weeks or so. Well... enjoy, people!

Prologue

It was late on earth, and most people were probably sleeping. All was quiet in the desert section on Lyoko… hardly any signs of life. Except for one thing…

Off in the distance, someone with exceptionally good eyesight might have spotted a flying manta swooping towards the tower. As it got closer, a small girl seemed to materialize out of nowhere on its back. She looked about fourteen, maybe younger, tall for her age, with long black hair falling into her face and hiding her left eye. She wore strange clothes, a black kimono and what looked like very thick black gloves.

Xana had told her to be very careful with this attack… maybe one of the most important attacks ever launched. As soon as the manta got near the tower, the girl stood up. Sensing her impatience, the manta made to fly closer to the ground. The girl, however, seemed to have other ideas. She bent her knees slightly and sprung straight up into the air, flipping and then landing heavily on her black, heelless boots. She smiled at the manta, then trotted to the tower and vanished into its side.

The manta began circling the tower, somehow looking bored, but it didn't have to wait ling. Within minutes, the tower had turned red, and the black-haired girl came out of the tower, looking pleased with herself. She jumped into the air again, and, using the side of a rock as a springboard, managed to land on the manta' back as it passed her.

The manta started to fly back in the direction of sector Five. The girl settled herself into a cross-legged position and looked into the sky as if hearing a voice. She smiled at the sky, and said in a quiet voice, "Thank you, Daddy, right away."
