Hacker flipped through some of the books he had in his rather large library. Some of the books were one of a kind, stolen out of museums and from various people. What was he looking for? A rumor... something he had heard of long ago. He had been up nearly 24 hours, trying to find the information he sought. He rubbed his eyes, trying to stay awake, but he could feel them falling prey to gravity. He laid his head down on the desk, wanting so desperately to sleep.

"One more book. Then that's it... I have to get some sleep." he spoke to himself. He rose from his desk and walked over to the bookshelf, fingering the books slowly. Soon he came across a book, bound by tattered black leather. The binding had no title, but neither did most of the books. He pulled out the book and carried it slowly over to the desk. With a long sigh, he plopped down in the chair and began skimming through the book. Soon he came across a chapter that sounded familiar.

"The History of Xelophia... hmmm... sounds interesting." he muttered. He read bits here and there, trying to find something that poked out at him.

"Let's seeeeeee... this cybersite has been abandoned for eons due to the war that errupted after the discovery... of the Demon's Heart." Hacker read aloud. This definately pricked his interest. He brought a hand to his chin and continued reading.

"According to evidence found on the site, the war occured after a warrior recieved possesion of the Demon Heart, a blood red crystal that gave the possesor access to an unlimited force. This 'force' came in the form of a shape shifting 'shadow creature', obeying every command of it's master. Of course, there was a price that must be paid. The possesor becomes the possesed! The shadow creatures abides in the being, taking control of their body and will. There is not much information on what occured during this war, since it happened so many, many centuries before any type of modern technology came about, but this is what I've concluded. The said warrior recieved the Demon Heart and summoned forth the shadow creature. The people of Xelophia were completely defenseless to his attacks, due to the fact that they were a peace-loving nation. Even today, there are statues of people, frozen in mid-state, indicating that chaos was abound." Hacker was grinning at what he had read so far. Unlimited power was oh so very tempting...

"The warrior continued his reign until one day, another being with what appeared to be angelic wings arrived in Xelophia. He alone came before the warrior and challenged him. No one knew where the creature came from, it seems. After a long, arduous battle the warrior fell to the hands of the 'angel' and the Demon's Heart was taken by the being for safe keeping. Since then the site has been abandoned, as it seems that the few survivors of the nation migrated to other parts of the site." Hacker finished. He closed the book. He had read enough. He layed his head down on the book, thinking.

"Unlimited power..." he muttered to himself. Could the Demon Heart still be at the site? There was a chance... after all, it wasn't like some angel came from Heaven and carried away, now was it? That was foolish talk... but of course, 'shadow creatures' didn't sound very believeable either. Still... there was a possiblilty. And for the Hacker, a 'maybe' was far better than a 'no'. There was also the 'possesion' issue. Was it true that the person REALLY became possesed by the creature? Maybe it wasn't... after all, a person will go mad when they're power hungry. Surely that had to be it. Some kook got hold of unlimited power, went crazy, killed a whole nation and tried to say he was possesed. Yeah right... now there was an excuse.He made up his mind... tomorrow, he would set out for Xelophia. Now though... he really needed a good nights sleep.

The following day at Control Central, Leia was getting introduced to the kids, Matt, Jackie and Inez. Of course, Leia also saw it as an opportunity to get extras workers for her large task.

"Well... since you guys are here, why don't you... clean up a bit?" she said, pulling out a broom from behind her back and poking it in Jackie's direction. Jackie shook her head.

"No way... I can't sweep right now! I just got my hair did... I don't want it getting dirty." she replied with a shake of her head. Leia frowned and rolled her eyes.

"Besides, we still have more questions for you." Inez said, adjusting her glasses. Leia raised an eyebrown and leaned on the broom.

"Like... what?" she asked.

"Where exactly are you from? Not to be rude, but we haven't even seen you before and now you're here as Motherboard's personal technician." she asked. Matt and Jackie nodded in agreement. Leia laughed at that.

"Oh, so now it's three-on-one, huh? Darn no good pesty kids..." she carried on. Dropping the broom, she gave a stretch and sighed.

"Okay, so here's my story... and I can get the doc and Digit to back me up on this one! Ya' see, about... I don't know, six months ago, I opened my eyes to what seemed like the first time in my life. I was here, at Control Central, somewhere in a back room. There next to me was the doctor. I had no clue how I got there... nor did I have any clue about who I was! I couldn't remember anything. Well, I mean... I remember basic stuff like talking, walking and, ya' know, bodily functions... but my mind seemed blank!" she explained and the kids listened intently.

"Dr. Marbles then explained that he happened to pass by my seemingly lifeless body on a random cybersite as he was running some errands. After confirming that I was still alive, he brought me back here and took care of me until I woke up. Apparently, I must've had a nasty fall or something, because I couldn't remember anything. Since I didn't have a home to go to, Dr. Marbles said I could stay here if I would help out around the place. I didn't know how to help though, so I stayed in the back, studying all of Motherboard's manuals ans such, basically setting myself to one day be her technician. Now here I am!" she said proudly. The kids smiled, making Leia presume that they believed her.

"Sounds staight to me!" Matt said.

"Good, because if I revealed my true identity, I might have to finish yall off." Leia said, again pointing her broom at Jackie. Inez laughed and took the broom from her.

"I suppose I'll get started on the sweeping." she said and busied herself in doing so. Everyone carried on with their task. Leia replaced bits and pieces on Motherboard, Inez mopped, Matt moved boxes and such around and Jackie... carefully avoided all traces of dust.
