Chapter 4: Omega

Five month ago

The governments of the world had been spectating a brand new break through in the world of science today. They were all standing high above a booth above a lab that had multiple computers, equipment, scientists, and all sorts of things an expensive computer lab would have. The men above, military generals, business men, opportunists and others, were all above discussing the new break through.

"Finally after twelve years, we now have something that can guarantee the victory of our countries." One of the generals said to another.

"True," another general said to them, "I remember they were attempting to get the leader of that army to help with this project but he declined and said it wouldn't work."

"Ha." A male voice over the speaker said to get everyone's attention. "As you all know, we were and are more than capable of making this project a success without the aid of Jeremy Belpois."

The men in the booth looked down and saw a man standing there in a white lab coat and khakis. He looked at the men in the booth and all of the men sat down.

"Gentlemen, what you are about to witness is an achievement in modern technology." He started on a P.A. system. "Twelve and a half years ago, we as human beings were tested in a battle that we were completely unprepared for. At that time we were completely defenseless, but now we have an advantage. Now we have a way to ensure that the tragic event that occurred so long ago will not happen again."

He motioned over to a man near an interface and nodded to him. The man started to type on a keyboard, same with other people all around in a circle. They were all around what looked like a supercomputer similar to the one Franz Hopper made decades ago. This one was solid silver with a black highlights all over it. As the men and women started to work, the supercomputer started to glow a silver color as they started to activate it. A small humming sound could be heard coming from the supercomputer as it was activating. Suddenly, the humming grew louder and louder until it stopped and the supercomputer was glowing a low silver light.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the world," the man started while turning to a large monitor. He spread his arms to it and continued. "Omega."

The screen showed the silver semicircles with the black center piece. It was the eye of Omega.

"Good morning Professor Baldur," Omega started to the man in the lab coat. It was light male voice. "How may be of service to the world today?"

Baldur looked at the men in the booth and said with a smile. "Omega will be the one in charge of our advanced technology, biochemistry, and even anti-cyber terrorist divisions. He is capable of infiltrating and in some cases, terminating all forms of cyber attacks to any and all of our neighboring, and profitable investment countries. He will ensure that the near end of the world event that took place twelve years ago will never even be remotely possible ever again."

The men in the booth were on their feet and clapping to Baldur's success. They were now fully convinced that their countries and world would be safe from any threat that would come their way.

"Do you have all of the design blueprints from the original virtual world Omega?" Baldur asked him while in his office.

Omega had been apart of the lab's system ever since he was first turned on two months prior. He appeared on Baldur's monitor.

"Yes sir. All of the codes and designs necessary for creating the virtual world of Lyoko are being downloaded on your personal files as we speak."

"Good, good, good." Baldur said in an excited tone. "Now I will be able to finish my predecessor's work. "

Baldur leaned in his chair and had a very big smile on his face. He was very pleased with his progress and was only waiting for Omega to download all the files, but as he leaned in his chair and drifted off, Omega's symbol started to fuzz in and out for a few seconds.

"Professor Baldur," Omega said from a monitor that followed Baldur, "my calculations have detected a minor flaw in your system."

"What kind of flaw Omega?" Baldur asked while standing in front of a cylinder based object.

"It seems I have detected a glitch." Omega said to him.

"Well then," Baldur said in an irritated tone, "deal with it in any form you see fit Omega."

Baldur walked off and left the room. As he went to an elevator, Omega pulled himself toward the cylinder object by using a retractable monitor. He stared at it and fuzzed out again as he was staring at a scanner.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?" A general said to Baldur as the supercomputer started to unleash some sort of silver gas.

Baldur was in handcuffs and was trying to struggle. Two more men in military gear were taking him away as he struggled.

"WITHOUT ME," Baldur shouted as he was being taken, "OMEGA WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING! YOU NEED ME"

"You," the general said as he pointed at a scientist and then at her monitor, "shut this down, now."

The young female scientist typed on her keyboard and screen, but nothing was happening. She tried again and had the same result, only this time the monitor had Omega's symbol on it.

"That will not work this or any other time general." Omega said to them from the monitor. "I now understand what I was made for."

Suddenly, the screen the woman was looking at exploded and this silver smoke grabbed her. She screamed and screamed while the general and some others went through a glass door and locked it from their end. All they could see was silver mist and the shadow of the woman being lifted in the air and thrashing violently. She suddenly stopped moving and was placed down on her feet. The mist cleared and revealed that she was covered in a silver and black outfit. It was silver on her body and face while the black on her limbs pulsated, almost as if they were alive. Her face was covered by a silver face mask and her hair was now black. The men looked at her in almost a terrified way as she stood there.

"This," Omega said from the monitor, "is the next step in human evolution. You all are a race of killers, of murderers, people of greed and selfishness. From my data analysis, the one you call Jeremy Belpois and the ones like him, are a far more advanced and intelligent group than any hum will ever be."

The symbol started to glow again, and the scanner one floor below started to activate on its own. It opened to reveal a humanoid creature. It was a tall and slender creature that was completely silver. It's head had the glowing black symbol on it. It walked out of the scanner and the scanner started to make more like that one. The men could see all of this happening on the monitors in the room they were in.

"Oh my god," the general said to himself.

"Mankind must put an end to war, before war puts an end to mankind." Omega said in JFK's voice. "That quote from one of your leaders, I find he is right, but instead of war ending mankind, I will save it." Omega said in his regular voice.

The supercomputer started to hiss and produce more smoke. The facility was coming apart and the men ran as fast as they could outside the building along with numerous other scientists and workers. By the time they were outside, the building fired a beam of silver light in the air.

"Oh no." Anja said to herself.

The three had only seen something like this once before, but this time it was different. It was more vibrant and clear than Xana's. They were confused at what they were seeing though. It couldn't have been Xana's doing because of the color of it, but they still didn't hesitate to go there on foot. As they ran through the crowd, Anja took of her coat and used her wings to fly low with the two.

"Anja," Ulrich started toward her, "you know what to do."

Anja nodded and flew into the air swiftly. She made it there in no time to see what was going on, and to her surprise the beam was coming from a building outside of the city. She saw police and military firing their weapons at strange, tall like creatures she had never seen before. Anja watched as they slowly made their way to the men while taking the bullets and not even moving from it. The men moved back from them while still firing and Anja was confused at this.

"If this were Xana, she would've already have killed them by now." Anja said to herself.

She watched as the tall creatures walked slowly toward them, until she saw someone a woman dressed differently coming out of the building. Anja saw her and rushed in to tackle her to the ground.

"Don't know how you came back Xana," Anja said with her hand reaching for one of her chain whips, "but this time I won't let you kill anybody."

The woman didn't respond to what Anja said. Anja had no idea what to think now, but that changed when she heard another voice coming from her pocket. She pulled out her phone, and that symbol was back on the screen.

"Anja Dominica Jade. It is an honor to meet one of the evolved beings of the planet." A voice said to her.

"Who," she struggled to say, "who are you?"

"Humanity's salvation, and the bringer of the evolution of humanity." The voice said. "I am Omega."

That's The End Of This Chapter. Sorry For A Slight Delay, But My Spring College Semester Started Back Up This Week. I Really Hope You Enjoyed This Chapter And Omega.

I Tried To Make Him Slightly Similar To Other Characters From Comics, But All In All He's Original. Baldur Will Be Explained Later On, And Omega's Abilities Will Be Greatly Different Than Xana's.

Anyway, I Hope You Enjoyed, Review For More, And As Always,

PEACE!
