Back at Google Jeremy Odd Liz and Slam were resting in the lounge area of Clip's Arcade when Aelita and her group along with KC entered into the arcade.

Jeremy signaled for the others to come over and they did.

Jeremy said "I hate to report KC that Site 10 couldn't be saved we had to pull a huge retreat."

KC said "I know…" He walked over to Slam "Sup Slam."

Slam smirked and said "just the usual. You got my uh package?

KC flashed his 'hands' and said "I'd pull it out but my hands are no good."

Jeremy said "how did that happen?"

Kat said "The Agent tried to install our code into his main weapon it didn't work out so well caused a bad status effect.

Slam said "Hopefully you aren't going to show up to Rachel like that… She'd freak out."

KC said "I'll be stopping by the Medic Ward at the Agency before I head down."

Aelita said "um KC you mind if I try something…"

KC looked at her and said "like what…"

Aelita said "I think I can restore your hands to normal…"

KC said "Really… that takes a level three medic equip to reformat something. I didn't think you were that advanced"

Aelita said "can I just try? It's our code you were working with…"

KC said "hmm… alright…"

Aelita said "hold them out to me. This may hurt slightly"

KC said "usually does on a reformat" and held out his hands.

Aelita closed her eyes and started to sing some notes.

KC grunted slightly but didn't move

Aelita continued to sing

KC's hands slowly returned to normal bit by bit

About a minute later KC was fully restored

KC looked at his hands "hmm… medical scan… scan reports hands at full function…" He waved his hands around and grinned "Aelita you got some strange skills but I like them."

Aelita giggled and said "Thank you…"

Aelita learned Reformat

Reformat: Dispels positive statuses on opponents and cures negative statuses on allies. Databattle: Restores an affected stat to normal Range 5 and self.

Jeremy said "Well so anyway Agent I think we figured out what been causing the site self destruction sequence to go off."

KC said "Code Lyoko…"

Jeremy said "Yeah, that's right, but we think the sites have a few problems normally closing the portals doesn't cause an collapse like that right"

KC said "not an instant collapse yes… but I've noticed something interesting after you guy hack the site."

Jeremy Diary continued

KC explained to me Odd and Liz what he had told Aelita and them about how a secondary code get activated when the portal reopened and removes almost all traces of Lyoko style code but keeps a few around to enhance the site in functionally and he called it a purification sequence but what he told us next was a shocker.

KC said "But what bothers me is why Aelita's voice sounded like Takara's when she was possessed."

Kat said "Takara… that girl with the gunblade"

KC said "Yes…"

Aelita said "I sounded like her?"

KC nodded "Yes…"

Yumi said "Weird… what is Takara's connection with Lyoko anyhow."

Jeremy said "We know she's against XANA so she somehow knows about him."

Slam said "You told me about her Agent told me to keep an eye and an ear out for her in case she pops into the Dark Net. So far she hasn't.

KC said "I haven't been able to fully catch up with her either she pops in and out of the Internet every so often but it isn't long enough to hold her down…"

Odd said "What happened to her anyway. Last I knew she was defeated by Xanatos but you came in and rescued her."

Yumi said "But we saw her at Google remember taking care of that strange Jeffrey kid. So she wasn't down for long."

KC said "after she recovered she went back to that same site only to be defeated and nearly deleted by XANA. He dropped her off at HQ and when she came too she had no memory of what happened but then she received some sort of message and then she logged out. All I know is that she knows something about XANA and his connection to the Shadow of the Internet."

Kat said "Isn't XANA the Shadow of the Internet?"

KC said "I don't know… I think the XANA you guys know is the Shadow of the Internet… but maybe there was once another XANA one that you guys haven't seen or met."

Aelita said "Why not?"

KC said "I'm not fully sure… all I know is that you guys are the key to stopping the Shadow of the Internet and so far it looks like you are on your way there… but I've got a big question for you guys is there an eighth member to your group…"

Jeremy said "Well… kinda… but he's had some bad experiences with Lyoko and I didn't want to tell him to get him involved again he's had enough trouble thanks to us"

KC said "Was he the one who used Darkness but then fell to XANA."

Jeremy said "Not quite. XANA possessed him had him destroy the core of Lyoko and when he returned he was a different being reformatted by XANA to work for him."

KC said "hmm… and XANA gave him the power of darkness?"

Jeremy said "I would guess so."

KC said "So he isn't a natural wielder… hmm… so he doesn't match Guide's description that would leave only one other guy to be your eighth member…

Jeremy said "Who…"

KC said "would you believe me if I suggested that Xanatos is your eighth member."

Kat said "Sandy Toes? No way he wasn't around when we took down XANA the first time well not we but Jeremy Odd Ulrich Yumi and Aelita. Liz and I weren't around either.

KC said "But yet you accepted and do wield one of the 8 elements although I think you got some of them misplaced."

Kat said "Misplaced, what do you mean?"

KC said "the group has two electric wielders and no Light and Darkness wielders and I think your Air wielder isn't supposed to be a wielder of that element. The rest I think are fine for now"

Kat said "So who should wield what in your opinion."

KC said "Well in my honest opinion. He looked at Ulrich and Yumi who were sitting together. "Ulrich should wield either Ice or Earth, Yumi the same Ice or Earth…"

Ulrich said "Got that covered…"

KC said "Odd is either Water or Wind"

Odd said "I'm cool with Water…"

KC looked at Liz "Even though she shows fear often Liz element is Fire she has an internal passion that keeps her going no matter what tries to stop her even when the odds are against her. She may show fear but she doesn't let it stop her especially when she can do something about it"

Liz nodded "Yes… I can I know I just have to believe in myself."

KC nodded and looked at Kat "The trouble starts when I get to Kat… She is what I like to call an elemental mixer. She blends traits from three or more elements. She unpredictable and hyper which is electricity, simple and carefree which is air, and easily angered and vengeful which is fire. She could easily master all three of them just not at the same time

Aelita said "She did have those three spheres in her hands at one time when she made a dive for them

KC said "and let me guess you randomly picked one of them and just happen to grab electricity

Kat said "Yep…"

Jeremy said "But I had downloaded electricity for myself before hand it was the one I was attracted to"

KC said "because you're a thinker and a planner which is half of the electrical element. Kat holds the other half being unpredictable and hyper."

Jeremy said "So we could both be electrical masters."

KC said "Yes and that where the trouble truly shows up one of you has to give up mastering electricity and taking the wind element to master."

Kat said "Isn't Aelita Wind…"

KC said "Wind is a good element for her but in truth her element is light she is positive, outgoing and kind. That's the element she has to learn and master and she on her way there with her healing abilities"

Aelita said "So I figured"

Kat said "So in truth we have a light master but not a wind master and either Jeremy or I have to give Electricity up."

KC said "Pretty much yeah…"

Kat said "not fair."

KC said "I know… but I'll let you on to a little secret"

Kat said "huh?"

KC said "Mixers like yourself can master more than one element if given time

Kat said "No way… I can?"

KC nodded "it is one of those special quirks of people like you Kat. But in seriousness I suggest you master Air first if Guide predictions are true we need one of each element to stop the Shadow of the Internet. 8 elements 8 warriors"

Kat said "So I can master multiple elements"

KC nodded "I've personally mastered 5 Lightning Fire Water Earth and Darkness"

Jeremy flinched and said "Darkness?"

KC nodded "That's correct"

Jeremy said "But you're an Agent that stands for what right how can you use something that based on evil"

KC nodded "Allow me to show you something Jeremy…" He stepped back slightly and said "Darkness within…" while holding his hands against his chest

Darkness flowed around KC and his armor which was normally silver became Dark Blue with small spots of silver like stars in a night sky.

Slam said "Agent KC in Twilight Mode which is a dark element based elemental mode."

KC said "Darkness isn't evil Jeremy… just a lot of people like using it for evil. You can't have light without darkness and you can't have darkness without light."

Aelita said "I knew it that's why together they are so powerful"

Jeremy said "So how do you suggest we get Xanatos to our side?"

KC said "One thing I've learned about light and dark elemental users once they forge an alliance to someone they will never break that alliance unless they are betrayed by that alliance. They are loyal to that cause to the end only if it's a good cause that they will sacrifice themselves and it appears that Xanatos has a strong alliance to his father XANA."

Jeremy said "and XANA the Shadow of the Internet which is our enemy."

KC said "That only possible, it isn't definite that's why I got to learn XANA's true story not the one he's told, nor the one you guys know but the true story."

Aelita said "KC offered us a side mission. We give him tips and ideas toward XANA's story and he'll give us a reduce rate on XANA site maps that reveal all the secrets of that site.

Kat said "Or we can challenge him to run the sites and he'll hand over site maps like I did to earn the site map for Google..."

Slam chuckled "Agent I thought you weren't allowed to hand out site maps..."

KC said "I'm not... but that was before XANA got his hands on the Internet. Rules can be modified..."

Slam chuckled "that they can... oh and uh speaking of rules... I can make a modification of number 1 of a mission right away..."

KC said "Yeah?"

Slam said "Yeah... you don't hand over my pay in about 5 seconds I'll slam you though the floor."

KC chuckled reached into his pocket and tossed a wad of bills with a rubber band "Ten Thousand like we agreed and a thousand more for a life insurance charge by Cynthia."

Slam caught the bundle and chuckled "Got to love my back pocket angel..."

Jeremy said "Anyway Agent who did save the site?"

KC grinned "Guess..."

Odd said "uh... an Agent"

KC shook his head "Nope..."

Aelita said "Guide"

"Nah I wouldn't do something like that..."

KC said "Yeah you would... and you can cough up that reset disc that you found."

"Reset Disc?" came the group

Guide appeared "What Reset Disc Agent" He grinned

KC grinned and said "You know the one caught in your throat"

Guide got wide eyed as he choked, coughed and spat up a CD that landed on the table with some sticky slime. "Uh... you just had to say caught in my throat didn't ya Agent" He groaned

The girls all made faces of disgust

KC and Slam chuckled

Kat said "I'm so not touching that..."

Guide said "oh picky, picky..." He picked it up and cleaned it then cleaned the other mess he made. "There that better?" The disc shined like it was brand new...

Kat said "Jeremy you get it... your hands are covered in gloves..."

Jeremy took it "I highly doubt there are germs in the virtual world. Viruses yes but not germs..."

KC said "Anyway that Disc will allow you to reset the system all you got to do is insert it into the security console and then use your Code Lyoko... The tower will deactivate for about a second which will trigger the purification sequence.

Jeremy said "I'll make a copy on Lyoko that way we can handle two sites at once again. I would hate to keep relying on you KC to help us" He stored the disc

KC said "Not that I don't enjoy it but yeah good idea."

Guide said "Anyway Warriors got to give you a bit of heads up... There a mini boss battle coming your way and until that is complete you can't continue to purify sites..."

Kat said "What type of battle?"

Guide said "A blast from the past type of battle I suggest at least one of ya has a sensor with ya to be able to record any information you have... It is very critical that you get as much data from the boss as you can..."

Jeremy said "When is this battle going to occur..."

Guide said "Most likely in the next couple of days be on the lookout for an activated tower."

Jeremy said "Is Xanatos going to activate it?"

Guide shook his head "Nope... as it is Xanatos is still out from his last battle with you guys... Kat really knocked him though a loop."

Kat grinned and said "Well it was either me or him and I rather have him down then me..."

Guide nodded "Anyway just make sure you have that Dark Cannon Rulebreaker Card handy it will come in useful if you want to sway Xanatos to your side..."

Ulrich said "But didn't you say Agent that Xanatos was loyal to his dad XANA..."

Guide said "That he did, but let's just say XANA isn't in play right now." Guide vanished

Liz said "XANA isn't in play right now." She looked at Jeremy "So if we aren't fighting XANA then who are we fighting?"

Jeremy said "I don't know..."

KC said "It confirms my suspicion, there another XANA but he isn't Xanatos's father but someone else... The Shadow of the Internet and that's why I want the knowledge toward XANA's true story.

Aelita said "You're not the only one Agent I want to know the true story as well... There are so many questions but yet so few of answers..."

Odd said "Well if it helps save the Internet we are in it as well right Einstein?"

Jeremy nodded "I would say so..." He looked at everyone "Right?"

Yumi nodded "Yeah..."

Kat said "Definitely"

Jeremy said "Alright Agent we accept your side mission..."

KC grinned and said "excellent..." He looked at Slam "Hey Slam you think you can rally up the Dark Network to gather info"

Slam said "I'll see what I can do Agent. But I'll have you know a lot of the residents are sympathetic with XANA ideas."

KC said "Just ask around and see if they noticed anything unusual."

Slam nodded "I'll call ya if they need convincing..."

KC said "Right..."

Jeremy said "Well, we've cleared everything for today. We are free until 7:30 for logging out, don't be late. Everyone is dismissed."

KC said "Well then check ya later warriors" He vanished into bits for a logout.

Slam chuckled and said "Nice working with ya guys see ya..." He also vanished into a logout.

Jeremy nodded "hmm..."

Diary Notes mid level supplemental

With three sites down we were more then halfway done with level 1 but with what information Guide told us about the upcoming boss battle had me worried... depending on how strong this boss was it could easily mean problems so I decided the day after we would test how strong we were individually and as a group. I was alright with the results but in truth we relied a little heavily on ambushing opponents to get a drop on them and not them ambushing us so we would need to train on that... but anyway life continued for us normally until that fateful day... when a tower would be activated on Lyoko
