Chapter 1: The Identity of X.A.N.A.

"No!" Asher shouted. "How could they have managed to destroy my program?" "You will pay for this Jeremy!" Asher continued to shout for some time. Once he calmed down a little bit, he went through a flashback of everything that had just happened.
He tried to access the files, programs, and his replikas, but there was nothing. All his data, stored in X.A.N.A's mainframe was destroyed.
It had taken Asher years to get his hands on X.A.N.A, let alone all the power and upgrades he had gained.
World domination had been under his fingertips, and he had just lost all of it.

All Asher had left, was the few files he had backed up during the one day, years ago, when he feared losing X.A.N.A. He had those few files, the monsters he had programed, included the Kolossus, and Franz Hopper.
When his Mantas destroyed Franz, he wasn't killed, but taken prisoner on his supercomputer.

He had never thought that Jeremy and his pals, with the aid of Franz Hopper, could actually destroy his program.
Everything Asher had collected through X.A.N.A was destroyed as well.
All the information on the replikas and polymorphic specters were just a couple of loses.
He hadn't kept a backup on X.A.N.A himself. He had no idea how to revive X.A.N.A.
He may be smarter and older than Jeremy, but Franz Hopper was the only one capable of reprogramming X.A.N.A and Franz refused to give away any information.
Since Asher had taken X.A.N.A from Hopper, he has been trying to access Franz Hopper's memory, but has not yet succeeded.

Now, Asher would have to try to finish the programs he had written to try and aid X.A.N.A, but he didn't know if he could get them to work on his own. He hadn't finished them because he made X.A.N.A more powerful and thought the aids weren't necessary. In retrospect, he wished he would have finished those programs, because they could have saved X.A.N.A.

"I hope you can work on your own, X.A.N.A.2." Asher opened up his secure files and accessed the files containing his programming for X.A.N.A.2.
He had planned for his program to help and aid X.A.N.A, but eventually become more powerful than X.A.N.A, so he would have complete control of world domination.
"Maybe you can bring back X.A.N.A, or you can absorb his power somehow" Asher said to himself.
"I guess there is only one way to find out for sure." Asher continued programming X.A.N.A.2, and things began to fall back into place.

A/N Thanks for reading the first Chapter. I have a lot of story left in me, so please review any chance you get. The second chapter will be up ASAP!
