Guide said "So you do see it rather important you take this job."

Jeremy said "I'm still wondering how XANA managed to survive the Multi Agent System. I could have sworn it said that XANA was 100% deleted"

Guide said "I don't know Jeremy but I do know what happened after he got into the Internet. It was about a week after you guys supposedly deleted him. A program by the name of Chip was just finishing his day working when he happened to hear a noise."

Guide snapped his fingers and everyone saw the following scene in their heads

A metallic humanoid in a causal outfit is looking around a back alley way "Hello is someone back here"

A low and long groan is heard

Chip turned a corner to see a black part smoke and part sludge like humanoid attempting to absorb power from the ground.

The humanoid eyeless face slowly turned to the other one and made a long and low groan

Chip pulled out a device like a small computer and a green laser scanned the humanoid

Chip looked at the results the computer gave him and said "XANA?"

The humanoid groaned again and the word Yes could be barely made out

The device beeped loudly signaling that XANA was severely fragmented.

Chip said "What happened to you?"

XANA groaned and reached out a sludge like hand "Help… me…"

Chip said "Hang tight I'll get the Doc" and bolted out of the alley way

The scene changed to a hospital like area where several programs in medical outfits were tending to various patients when Chip shot in "Hey where the Doc we got a severe fragment case in Central One."

A program entered into a back room and a program in a lab coat exited out "What's the trouble Chip"

Chip said "Hey Doc I found a guy who severely fragmented in a back alley near my shop. I think he is trying to absorb Central's Energy to regenerate but it's looking ugly.

Doc said "Take me to him I'll make a house call"

Chip said "This way"

Back in the alleyway Chip and the Doc ran in and the Doc took one look at XANA and pulled out a radio "This is Doctor Avast of Central Hospital I have a patient in critical condition that needs the regeneration chamber stat! Lock on to the program that named XANA and transmit immediately"

The radio responded "Roger that Doctor transmission initiating"

XANA vanished into bits and was pulled upward vanishing from the spot however a lot of leftover sludge was remaining

Doc Avast spoke into the radio "I need a hazmat crew to clean up it's seems XANA has lost a lot of data"

The group warped out of the scene

Jeremy said "So XANA was trying to use a place called Central to regenerate himself"

Guide nodded "Yes the Virtual world of Central has the power to do that."

Liz said "So is Central on the Internet?"

Guide said "It was one of the main supports until about a month ago but let me continue the story. XANA spent a good month and a half in a regeneration chamber he was that badly fragmented. All that was really left of him was some basic code and his memory files.

Aelita thought outloud "Just like XANA said"

Guide said "The doctors almost lost him several times due to his basic code refusing to regenerate in a proper manner but then a specialist in viral medicine discovered XANA was a single remaining copy of a virus that relied on it's other copies to rebuild himself when damaged and since he was the only one remaining he would have self destructed but the specialist modified XANA basic code so that the one remaining piece would be able to self regenerate without the assistance of other pieces since there were none. When he did that XANA could be regenerated properly however he had no true form until the doctors accessed his memory and found a picture of what looked to be some of his creators like computer scientists. They then used that picture to give XANA a physical form and when he got out of regeneration, he acted differently then what you all are used too." Another scene played in the warriors minds

Dr. Avast is looking over XANA stats "Alright he looks ready on my scans let's activate him"

The regeneration chamber that looks like a capable hisses open and XANA in his virtual form steps out. "Ah" He sighed and looked at himself "Most interesting."

Dr. Avast enters into the room "XANA?"

XANA looked at Doctor Avast and gave a curious glance "Yes?"

Dr. Avast said "I'm Doctor Avast, It's lucky you were found and placed under my care. You were severely fragmented"

XANA blinked "Are you a program?"

Dr. Avast said "Yes I am"

XANA studied Doctor Avast "intriguing…" He muttered "what is your function"

Dr. Avast said "I restore programs whose data become fragmented due to an attack or a loss of energy. I also cure infection induced by viruses by disabling the virus code."

XANA nodded "Hmm and you call yourself a doctor… the title fits your function."

Doctor Avast said "What about you XANA what is your function"

XANA said "My function was to serve my creator in his mission to destroy a program codenamed Project Carthage."

Doctor Avast said "and did you"

XANA didn't speak but his eyes told that he was thinking

The group warped out of the scene

Guide said "XANA told his story they even got a program to write it down"

Odd said "So what was XANA's story did he tell about how he attacked the real world"

Guide said "nope… he spun a whole different story one that could possibly be partially true. He told the doctors that his creator betrayed him and shut him down for ten years and then when he was reactivated the creator sent his daughter to destroy him along with her friends from school who thought it was a giant video game.

Ulrich said "Hey Jeremy didn't I say that when you first introduce me to the supercomputer."

Jeremy nodded "Yep so did Odd"

Guide said "He then told the doctors that it was them who destroyed him and his son Xanatos"

Yumi said "Which you got to admit is partially true but did he tell them why we were doing it"

Guide said "Nope he told a half truth and said that they just did it because the creator wanted it done."

Kat nodded "Which was true after XANA almost killed Aelita, destroyed Lyoko and captured William and I bet he never told any of that"

Guide said "Nope he even spun a story about his son Xanatos being murdered by you all"

Aelita said "Well the way Xanatos put it that true since he was a part of William.

Guide said "But it was forced on William was it not"

Aelita said "XANA forced it on William by possessing him."

Guide said "I thought so okay anyhow people took pity on XANA and helped him restore his son to full function which took about two weeks and during that time XANA learned about the Internet and what it was like. He was amazed at the variety of the places and sites and learned to enjoy it but then when he learned about the Chosen One he was horrified.

Yumi asked "Why was that"

Guide said "He explained that humans with access to the virtual realm could destroy it and it was common knowledge that the humans did have a way to destroy the virtual realm but it was only used in extreme cases."

Jeremy said "They have the ability to do that?

Guide nodded "Yes it's known as the level 1 counter measure and it only used when the virtual realm is attacking the real world and nothing can be done to stop it. Only two people who can activate it the Chosen One Kevin Fulmer and the head of the NSA computer and cybercrime division Ms. Rachel "Superfreak" Sulean or and it take both of them to do it."

Jeremy said "So what does a level 1 counter measure do"

Guide said "Pretty much tell every single computer that accesses the Internet big or small to cut it connections which destroys the Internet and if the Internet goes down so does the Virtual Realm because the virtual Realm is supported by the Internet and we're talking about millions of sentient virtual characters deleted and nearly a billion of sentient programs deleted which is the same as being killed."

Kat said "yow… talk about mass murder"

Guide said "That's why it's only used in extreme cases however XANA told us there was another computer which had the same ability and showed evidence of it. Both the Chosen One and Boss Superfreak told XANA and the virtual Realm they would look into this threat and make sure it was eliminated. XANA accepted that and everything was peaceful until about a month ago.
