It all started as a normal day until about 2pm. Kat was complaining about the usual thing, homework. Aelita was with her trying to be supportive without doing it for her
"oh..." Kat whined as she looked over Math book "Why does Mrs. Meyer always assigns the even number problems?"
Aelita said "Because she's wants you to have you be able to solve those problems on your own then if you have more trouble come see her."
Kat said "but to assign 40 problems..."
Aelita said "You can do it, just take them one at a time think of them as like Kankrelats on Lyoko each time you complete a problem you defeat one defeat all forty and you win the round but if you let them overwhelm you"
Kat got a focused look "They won't I'll get it done and nothing going to stop me!" She exclaimed
All of a sudden both their cell phones beeped a text message.
Aelita pulled out her cell phone and gasped
Kat said "What, what is it?"
Aelita said "An activated tower..."
Kat said "You don't think..."
Aelita nodded "This is the one thing that going to stop you for now... we're get back to this later. If Guide's right this is going to be a boss battle we're going to need everyone."
Kat said "I'm so there!"
Meanwhile on the Internet a certain dark warrior was just finally waking up from his almost week long nap.
Xanatos groaned and opened his green eyes "uh... Lifepoints regenerated" He grunted "dam... that fox girl got me good. I wonder how long I was out." He got up out of bed "uh..." He went over to a mirror and took a good look at himself his face showed how long he had been sleeping. "ugly..." he commented "I'm going to need a good half an hour to refresh myself."
Xanatos disappeared into the bathroom taking a towel with him
Back in the real world Kat and Aelita were coming down the elevator to the lab. Jeremy was at his spot at the computer but he didn't have the headset on.
Aelita said "What's the attack and where's the tower?"
Jeremy said "It doesn't appear to be an attack on the real world as of right now someone just activated a tower in the mountain sector to open a portal for connection to the outside network it's appears they are downloading something from a replica deep in the digital sea."
Kat said "Do you know who it is?"
Jeremy said "I've checked the ID log and it's not our usual suspects. I've sent Ulrich Yumi and Odd to do some recon and check things out. Liz call told me she was in the middle of reading a chapter for history and that as soon as she was done she be here."
Aelita said "Well it's not that critical it isn't a full emergency. We don't need her yet"
Jeremy said "For now it isn't but if you two want to get down to Lyoko and look around go for it just be careful... Who knows what could happen."
Aelita said "on our way."
Kat said "Let's go"
Back on the Internet Xanatos had just finished his refresher and looked ready to handle anything. He decided to check in with his father XANA to get an update.
XANA was overlooking some logs of the warriors most recent hits Site 10 and Site 11. "hmm..."
Xanatos knocked twice "Father" he called
XANA looked at him and said "Ah my son... you are back on your feet... you had me worried when you didn't awake after your regeneration"
"I'm sorry father" Xanatos replied as he entered "for both failing you and worrying you..." He gave a slight bow of respect
XANA said "Do not apologize my son. You did what you could. They overwhelmed you. Seven against one isn't fair odds.
"No it is not..." Xanatos agreed "Not even when I had Darkness on my side."
XANA said "ah that's explains why you were out so long. I warned you about calling upon your inner darkness although it is strong it leaves you weakened at the end of a battle."
"hmm..." Xanatos hummed "I thought with it I could defeat her but it turns out I was defeated instead..." He stated "well no matter I'll get her next time."
XANA nodded and said "until then you can..." His voice trailed off as he noticed something "hmm?"
Xanatos looked at his father in seriousness "What is it, Father?" He asked
"The Lyokoian sensor just went off..." XANA replied in an even tone.
Xanatos gained a confused look and said "Lyokoian?"
XANA nodded "Remember about two weeks ago when you decided to have your fun with the Lyoko Warriors after you completed your mission by installing that sensor into Lyoko." He prompted
Xanatos chuckled "Yeah..." He replied "I remember"
XANA said "I designed it to detect when a tower was activated on Lyoko by a Lyokoian."
Xanatos said "What is a Lyokoian father?"
XANA said "I told you about the great Lyoko war right."
Xanatos nodded "About how you and Project Carthage went head to head to prevent him from taking it over?" He asked
XANA nodded "The Lyokoian were his set of virtual warriors sent to take it over and soften up my defenses but I managed to eliminate all of them easily using my abilities."
Xanatos said "All of them huh?"
"For the most part there were a few traitors who had come to my side but they were eliminated as well..." XANA stated "Or so I had thought. That Takara girl you mentioned was one of them and it appears there may be more."
Xanatos said "So whose side are they on now anyhow?"
XANA said "I truly don't know. It appears they are neither for us nor the Lyoko Warriors."
Xanatos said "Well they better pick a side by the time I get there." He pulled out his soul eater "because if they mess with me. I'll delete them"
"hmm..." XANA hummed as he got thoughtful "Go to Lyoko my son and investigate do not engage anyone unless they attack you."
Xanatos showed respect "Yes Father" He quickly walked out.
Xanatos had nearly reached his vehicle when a voice called out to him "Yo Xanatos!"
A rogue came running in.
Xanatos said "What's up Lyle?"
Lyle looked around "Hey man..." He said "I got a message for you."
Xanatos said "make it quick I've got places to go."
Lyle said "It's from Phantom... He said the enemy of my enemy is usually my friend but this time the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy be wary of who's side you pick."
Xanatos said "That punk always has some crazy riddles ready... give my regards in any case"
Lyle said "Gotcha uh what cha up to?"
Xanatos said "heading over to Lyoko something brewing there and Father wants me to check it out."
Lyle said "Well if you need help you know my number. I'll keep my phone handy."
Xanatos nodded "hmm thanks Lyle, tell Terra I say hi."
Lyle said "Yeah... she'll be glad to hear you're active. She was a little worried about you"
Xanatos said "Don't tell me she likes me..."
Lyle said "Yeah man I think she does... call it brotherly instinct."
Xanatos said "Well see ya" He jumped into his vehicle and took off.
