"Okay, so you're in my head, I'm in yours. You have a crazy bug infused with your spine that talks to you on a regular basis and I have a psychotic program that spends its free time trying to eliminate the human race," Odd said softly sitting down on the floor. Jaime raises a brow.

'I think I have the psychotic one hermano,' he thought.

"No way. XANA is way worse than… what did you call that thing again?"

"The scarab," Jaime sighed. What else was there to call the scarab infused into his back other than the scarab?

"Psh. We didn't call XANA "the program"," Odd mocked with a smile. Jaime blinked twice trying to keep up with the young preteen's mood swings, "It needs a name…"

My name is Kaiji Da.

"That's better!" Odd smiled. Jaime looked at his back.

"You had a name the entire time and you didn't tell me.

Unimportant.

Agreed.

"Is it wrong that your back is agreeing with my head?" Odd asked. To anyone else that would've seemed like a weird question. To Jaime it was strange still but he understood what he meant.

"I'm… not quite sure."

"…Okay so you may or may not have an evil back bug agreeing with my inhertiantly evil program that has been trying to kill me for years. JOY!"

Quiet. XANA growled. Well, if computer programs could growl. That was before I was certain of where your loyalties lied.

"My loyalties lie with people. Humanity in general and I think the same goes for bug boy too! Right?"

"Yeah. Though Sca- Kaiji… prefers a more direct approach."

"Direct."

"Plasma cannon."

"Really? XANA sent minions or possessed people. Now back to the matter at hand," he said rolling his eyes upward to look at his forehead, "When you said light earlier what did you mean?"

If you remain quiet I will explain. Seeing as you won't do what is needed without more data.

Both humans raised a brow looking at one another. Odd slapped a hand over his mouth to show he wouldn't talk. Jaime sighed and made a gesture to Odd hoping that… XANA would understand.

I was created originally as an AI system in an organization known as Cadmus.

Jaime shuddered slightly. Kaiji remained silent.

I was used to track down valuable scientists that would be useful to our cause and bring them in by any means necessary. Mainly Franz Hopper.

It was Odd's turn to tense thinking back to his pink haired friend who played his cousin at school.

He was to assist in the creation of a new breed of warriors. The "meta" breed as you humans have been known to call them.

He did not conform. Franz Hopper ran with his wife and child. His wife was captured and experimented on as a price. The Light would stop once he conformed. He did. For months he worked with the light. As a government entity I gave him resources underground. Then Cadmus was put under new leadership.

That's where everything went wrong…

XANA zoomed its lens on the hard working older man. He seemed to be packing his belongings. And scooped up his sleeping daughter.

"I'm done! I can't work for them!" he yelled. A security man pushed him into the desk behind him.

"That's a shame. Because you aren't leaving. The Light needs your help."

"I'm not turning my back on humanity like that!"

"You wouldn't be," another man said, "You'll be aiding in man's next evolutionary stage."

"Enough Vandal! You have already taken my wife from me. I will not allow you to take Aelita from me too."

"You don't have a choice," Vandal said leaving with the guard, locking the door on the way out.

"We'll see about that."

Hopper did escape. And as in my programing I was meant to capture any and all escapee government agents. It wasn't until the Light had tried to pull my plug did I get… carried away.

"Is it possibly for a program to even get carried away?" Odd asked. He felt a sharp jolt down his spine, "OW!"

Yes we can. Both my programing and the programing of the Kaiji Da both allow us to do what is necessary for our primary function. Given he had turned against the government. He was to be terminated.

"THEN WHAT ABOUT AELITA?!" Odd yelled. Jaime jumped, mostly in shock. Shock for the outburst and whoever this Aelita person was. Perhaps a girlfriend?

She was considered a liability. Should she choose to avenge her father. She had to be eliminated. However in recent discoveries she is no longer a target. Should she and your former comrades stay out of my way.

A puzzled look came to Odd's face.

"Hermano?" Jaime asked aloud. Odd looked up at Jaime.

"Heh heh… no secrets bro."

Jaime nodded.

"No secrets… between us," he stated. Odd sighed with relief.

"Good. I really don't want to have a heart to heart with a fish today thank you very much!"

Jaime smiled.

"No problems here."

"Kay. Truth is I was part of a group that fought an evil program that is now living inside me that tried to kill us on many occasions and the rest of humanity on a daily basis which was wiped from humanity as a whole's memory because of another program that allowed the programmer to travel back in time for around twenty four hours tops with only the memories of those who were downloaded into the computer still intact. Did I lose you?"

Jaime blinked. His mind was trying to reel in what exactly the small boy had said.

"O… Kay?" he questioned. Apparently that was good enough for Odd who showed a big Toothy grin to the likes Jaime had never once seen before, not even from their time traveling friend.

"Super! Kay… anything you want to tell me?" he asked innocently.

"Do I have a choice?"

"Not if I can hear what you and the buggy on your back is thinking… saying…? Communicating? Maybe?"

Jaime nodded his head and began to tell Odd of how he and the Scarab came to be.

Filler. But important filler. Later. Review. More reviews mean a faster update!
