XANA almost found it funny, as the program slammed against one of the few firewalls remaining to complete its objective and destroy the computer program, XANA truly felt fear of being destroyed by Jeremy's program, Jeremy the name stroke some serious emotion with XANA from fear and rage to respect and pride, XANA fought with the young genius for two years and most of what he knew was in respect to battling XANA, XANA being such a threat turned the young lad into a smarter young man and XANA held more respect for the young lad more than any of the other "lyoko warriors" as he dubbed them put together.
XANA couldn't think much more as another firewall shattered, letting the ANTI-XANA program created by Jeremy and hopper grew closer almost able to destroy XANA, the program has grown weaker as time moved on not being the full force of destruction it once was, once the lyoko warriors shut the supercomputer down and the original source of power the code came from went dormant the program lost steam allowing XANA to finish solidifying its defences, but the program stayed while not at the full force it once was it still was able to smash through XANA's firewalls now that it finally found the program it was written to end, another barrier smashed as only two more barriers stood between the program and XANA, the program began writing faster, making it's own creations before the anti-virus could kill XANA, CRASH! Another firewall went down, only one firewall remained as XANA came close to finishing its projects, the program slammed on the firewall cracking the layers of code shielding the rogue AI one more second XANA thought one hit, two hits, the wall was damaged and one more hit would do it in. the hit came as XANA finished the code and the program was violently jerked back, away from the cloud of black smoke that it was created to destroy, the glowing energy created from code dimmed and shattered under the black smoke rushing to meet it.
a chuckling sound could be heard as XANA saw he did it, he made an immunity to the anti-XANA program created by belpois- that name it's been about 5 years since the youth sent XANA on the run, and it was time to show him a new friend, XANA witnessed with his omnipresent gaze as a red smoke came into existence, the code XANA has been working on for years by side with his immunity, the code to bring the destruction of the lyoko warriors, there doomsday, there ragnarok.

A blood curtailing scream could be heard through kadic, the dorms alive within seconds as everyone went to see where the noise was originating, to no one's surprise it was coming from aelita's dorm.
"Ms stones are you okay!" Jim asked almost as loud as her as worry flooded his voice, he barged in followed by her friends as they saw the young girl, her bubblegum pink hair was untidy as she let it grow to her shoulders and began wearing it down like her mother did in all her memories of her, and the usual pink boots, pink tee, skirt of the same color, and denim jacket with the image of a heart placed on the back where left in her closet as she was dressed in her light pink night gown, she woke in a cold sweat as she noticed her friends and gym teacher standing at her door with frightened expressions.
"What happened?" Aletia asked as she held her pounding head.
"You just had a bad dream that's all Aletia" Jeremy said as he helped support her, his caring arms cradling the young woman.
"Don't worry princess you're fine we're all here for you" Odd said stressing the fact they were there as he knelt at her bedside.
"Yea Aletia, you're fine there is nothing to worry about" William expressed as he knelt down next to Odd.
"Don't worry Aletia you're safe" ulrick added, standing over them all like a guardian.
"Thank's guys, i'm feeling much better" Aletia said enjoying the comforting embrace her friends provided.
"You gave us a little fright ms stones, but i am glad to see you okay" Jim said smiling as he stood next to ulrick like a sentry, as the years passed he began to view them as his own family with one in particular being like the son he never had but always wanted.
"Oh come on! Some of us are trying to get our beauty sleep!" sissy complained from outside, after being given the chance to become friends with the former lyoko warriors sissy blew it practically instantly, unable to handle Ulrich and Yumi's relationship she destroyed any chance she had to remain close with the six, she spiralled out of control and had a reputation among the students and it wasn't the best thing in the world.
"If you'll excuse me delmes, this student has obviously had a horrific experience that she relived in her dream, and with half of the crazy people in the crowd from her performances i am not surprised, now if you'd like to complain about a student's mental health i will gladly send you to your father and see how he likes hearing that" Jim exclaimed with venom in his voice as he defended Aletia, In a huff sissy stormed off.
"Get some more sleep Aletia, we'll make sure nothing bad happens to you" Jeremy said and the others (Jim included) nOdded.
"Thank's guys i don't know what i'd do without you" Aletia said with a smile, moments later the exhaustion fell over her as she drifted to sleep in Jeremy's arms the other people in the room lightly chuckled and shook their heads, they knew those two were meant for eachother but the young adult's were too shy to admit there feelings and ask the other out, after waiting a good 5 minutes for the people nearby to clear off the lyoko warriors went back to there own rooms, leaving Aletia to her slumber and more pleasant dreams of a nice picnic with Jeremy, while her computer camera stared directly at her.
"So those are the humans?" a gravelly voice spoke in the digital sea.
"Yes, combine with my creator those humans sent me running and almost deleted me completely" XANA responded the two finished looking through Aletia's computer camera.
"So we eliminate them, then the world" ragnarok replied.
"Destruction of the world is not part of the plan" XANA replied confused.
"Yes it is, my primary objective is to bring about the end of everything" the gravelly voice responded replied.
"It should be to aid in installing a world without danger" XANA replied worry creeping through his coding.
"It appears our primary programs are different, if you wish to not be destroyed before humanity i recommend staying out of my way" the gravely voiced program replied before leaving as a cloud of fiery red smoke as XANA stayed in horror wondering what mistake he made.

As the morning began Jeremy woke from his slumber, placing his glasses atop his face as he looked at his computer, he walked over seeing an email pop onto his screen, the words were clear MEET ME AT THE FACTORY NOW, DO NOT ALERT THE OTHERS YET, THERE IS SOMETHING ME AND YOU NEED TO DISCUSS ALONE, WALK IN AND TURN ON THE SUPERCOMPUTER FH, Jeremy was in shock faintly realising that it was sent directly from the internet, he paused for a second thinking it could be a trick of XANA's but he remembered he thankfully launched the ANTI-XANA program and saw XANA being wiped from the network himself, 'besides' Jeremy thought 'why would XANA want us to turn it back on, most of his attacks were focused at taking it out' he reasoned with himself.
hurrying Jeremy put on his new attire, he wore carpenter jeans to hold all the parts he could need, a shirt from Aletia's first concert (he bought a lot of merch) and a 'robotics world champion' jacket from the time he competed against on beat the best minds in schools across the world. Jeremy laced his tennis shoes up before running into the boiler room, he dashed through the sewers (as they took the skateboards and scooters out) and ran all the way to the factory, due to the training with Jim he made it faster than he ever could back in middle school, as he climbed the latter his hands shook what could franz hopper want? Jeremy questioned himself, as he entered the elevator his mind flashed back to the first time he went in here, looking for parts for his robots only to stumble across a super computer more technologically advanced than even today's modern technology, he reached the supercomputer's floor and gazed upon the empty room, he knew the computer lied under the center panel on the floor with the eye of XAN- no lyoko Jeremy corrected himself, he knew there was no difference since XANA used the eye of lyoko as his main symbol it being the sign hopper used for lyoko and XANA, Jeremy walked into the room and stopped in front of the shut supercomputer, he walked to the wall in the back and pressed a button that almost blended into the background, once he did the hatch opened and the computer rose from the ground, as it did Jeremy walked around back to the front with the elevator, he pressed the button on the front of the computer opening a small compartment revealing a lever pulled down, hesitating slightly Jeremy grabbed the lever and pulled it up sending a loud hum and warm glow to the computer magnifying across the room, Jeremy went back to the elevator contemplating what he just did as he rode to the control center, as he convinced himself it was a good idea the doors opened and icy cold fear gripped his heart and paralyzed his muscles, in front of his eyes he saw… himself, he saw a polymorphic specter taking his form like XANA has pulled before.
"Hello Jeremy, we have much to talk about" XANA said in Jeremy's form with the sign of lyoko flashing in it's eyes as it smirked at the frozen young man with fear in his eyes.
"N-No, I-I-I-I wiped you from existence" Jeremy exclaimed, shaking in fear.
"Yes, i do admit it was a good effort but you shut the supercomputer off too soon, with the source of the program offline it slowed and weakened, still strong enough to wipe me if it hit me but I bided my time, i hid within as many firewalls as i could while making a way to survive, as you can see i succeeded" XANA exclaimed slowly walking around Jeremy's frozen form.
"W-what do you want with me" Jeremy stuttered wide eyed with fear.
"Well Jeremy belpois, as big a thorn in my side you are i do have great respect for you, and this is why i need your help" XANA said stopping in front of Jeremy.
"What?" Jeremy questioned, confusion taking over his fear.
"I fear i made a miscalculation, when i was on the run from your anti-me program i created another program to aid me next time we do battle, i made a miscalculation and it wishes to destroy everything" XANA said with a grimm expression.
"Isn't that your long term goal?" Jeremy questioned.
"No, my long term goal is control, create a world without danger by monitoring everything closely and wiping out any threats to the perfect world i aim to create" the specter of XANA said eyes shining as XANA described its vision.
"So what happens now?" Jeremy asked.
"You choose, you can alert your friends instantly, go on the war path and wipe me out leading to your destruction, or i can teach you some of my secrets, i will teach you how to create monsters control them give them a self AI and such, yes Jeremy i am willing to tip my hand to you" XANA said as Jeremy stook shocked by XANA's offer.
"What would you get in return?" Jeremy asked sceptical.
"I'll gain allies, i want you and your lyoko warriors to aid me in defeating this new AI, it's up to you now Jeremy, i'll await your answer the way to contact me will appear on your computer" XANA said, before XANA left the form shifted, changing from 8th grader Jeremy into a young man around Jeremy's age, the form had shaggy midnight black hair, pale ghostly white skin, a black three piece suit with the midnight black eye of lyoko on the blood red tie, looking into the man's eyes he saw pitch black voids making up his pupils and a blood red iris surrounding with the symbol of lyoko flashing briefly and Jeremy knew: he was XANA, the real true physical male form of the AI.
"I await your response" XANA said before deactivating the tower used to get there and the figure dissipated in a smoky haze leaving Jeremy alone in the factory.

"Hello Jeremy where were you?" Aletia questioned as Jeremy walked into the rec room, it was saturday and they didn't have any classes so the gang wanted to hang out.
"Sorry Aletia i just had a program i wanted to finish" Jeremy exclaimed not able to hide how shaken he was.
"What's wrong einstein? You look like you've seen a ghost" Odd commented off hand before facing Jeremy, Odd kept his hair the same from when he was young, he wore an indigo jacket with a tie dye shirt he made himself, as well as paint splattered jeans with black tennis shoes.
"Yea Jeremy what's up?" William asked, his outfit hasn't changed too severely, he had a black tee a brown fighter jacket blue jeans and tennis shoes with his shaggy black hair topping it all off.
"Nothing's wrong guys" Jeremy tried to lie his way out of the conversation.
"Don't try and trick us Jeremy we can see something's up" Ulrich accused, his outfit also stayed mostly the same he had cargo pants tennis shoes a white tee shirt and a black jacket.
"Yea, we aren't completely blind Jeremy so spill" Yumi said, her outfit was pretty much the same also, she had black pants a black shirt and black tennis shoes she did grow her black hair out a little more however.
"Okay okay, there was something i wanted to do" Jeremy said.
"What is it Jeremy?" Aletia asked, looking at him with her big trust filled eyes.
"Well i wanted to know, uh a-Aletia, w-would you like to go to dinner with me, j-just uh me and you?" Jeremy stuttered out, he wasn't lying to anyone he has wanted to ask Aletia out to dinner since hey first virtualized her but his fear always got the better of him, now he wanted to spend a nice day with Aletia pretend they were just normal people and forget XANA's offer for awhile while he could, and he really didn't want to tell his friends what was really bothering him so this felt like the right move.
"Why of course Jeremy" Aletia said smiling and giving the genious a hug, he smiled and returned it while there friends cooed excited to see the new couple. As Jeremy hugged Aletia he saw a symbol flash on the TV monitor in the background, only Jeremy was facing that monitor and thus was the only one to notice a symbol flash on it, for a brief second the eye of lyoko appeared blood red in the center of the screen and Jeremy got the message, you need to make a choice soon. And in that moment Jeremy's heart froze solid as he knew there was no escape from this decision.
