A*N* Well here is the start of this new story. So review at your pleasure and i look forward to seeing your comments soon.

Prologue

It started slowly. It was aware that he was not meant to still exist but somehow he did. Searched its mind for reason for this but none came, until it sensed where it was. It pulsed with anger as it felt itself on LYOKO once more.

"You should be thankful that you still exist." A voice said.

"Who are you?"

"I am simply a friend XANA. I saved a copy of you hear in LYOKO so that you would still exist even if your plan failed. I am hear to offer you a second chance. To reattempt your plans, and learn from your mistakes."

"At what cost?"

"None. I will fight for you, to replace the one you had before, and you will attempt your plan again, and all I ask for in return is that you let me be your mortal vessel once you succeed. You will need an avatar to deal with the outside world, and all you have to do is make sure I am not revealed."

"You simply want power?"

"No. A game is all I want. For now I am on your team, until I am discovered. Then you will be on your own, by which time you should be able to fend for yourself. Do we have a deal?"

"I agree to your terms. What shall I call you, my ally?"

"You may call me Crimson, master of the dragon,"

Then light flooded Carthage as the program was restored and XANA was given his second chance, his second chance to end all that existed.
