Thank you all for liking my story so far (despite its size). I promise that it will get better to those who seemed skeptical. I don't want to give too much away, but I plan not to go along with the matrix story line, I will change it up completely. Im not even including Neo or all them other dudes. But I will put in some ACC's later on. Im thinking on still using Agent Smith (he is my all time favorite villain). So anyway, keep reading if you like it. If you don't, than that's your problem huh. (P.S. Yay, Trillinka reviewed, it makes me happy to know that a good Author respects my own work, I feel even more inspired now).

Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko or The Matrix.

Claimer: All that I own is any ACC's that I use later on.

With that set in..."your scanner is waiting sir." (I've been wanting to say that for a while now)


Chapter 2: The deal was struck

This had not been XANA's first visit to this new world. In fact he had been there once before, but was never able to complete what happened in his first visit. His mission was simple, find Agent Smith. But that was not the only purpose of the mission.

XANA had heard of The Matrix before, or more or less found out about it himself. Whenever XANA isn't planning an attack, he is trying to hack into other program that he doesn't have access to, so that he may use what he finds for his next assault. Strangely this has led him to the discovery of this new world.

The Matrix was entirely different from Lyoko, for one, he was able to take a physical form in The Matrix. This was never possible in Lyoko. Upon the first time entering The Matrix, he had noticed his new form. He had Jet black hair with red streaks all throughout it, and it was spiked, also he had a black zip up hoodie (with a Red XANA symbol on the back) and under the hoodie he wore a black T-shirt. With that, he had a pair of baggy black JNKO jeans. And a pair of black and red Vans skateboarding shoes. On his wrist he wore a silver Rolex watch. And around his neck lay a golden chain necklace.

XANA took a few moments to look over himself, still admiring that he had taken a physical form, but quickly re-focused on his mission. He was supposed to meet Agent Smith in an abandon warehouse, located just two blocks from where he was. He began to walk, looking at everything around him, noticing how it looked and felt so real. If he hadn't know better, he'd say he was in the real world, though this is not so, and he knew it.

His first encounter with Agent Smith had gone quite well. Though it started off slightly on the wrong foot.It was soon resolved after XANA explained his sudden presence. XANA had seemed to have found a potential accomplice in his quest for domination. They started to exchange information, and even struck a deal, but something had made them put it off until another day.


XANA remembered that first meeting with the perfection one expects with electronic memory storage...It was the usual for XANA, though sometimes he got fed up with failing. Every time he thought it was the last. Every time he thought he had them, but then something would happen, it would all freeze, then XANA would suddenly loose control. A moment later, they would go back in time, and it would be like it never happened. XANA was tired of this, he needed something more than his usual hackjob plans. So he decided to take a break.

XANA was constantly searching for new programs to access, new material to find, but nothing that he found impressed him to what he was looking for. He wanted something foolproof, that he knew it would take a miracle to stop him. But was there such a thing, he wondered.

Eventually, XANA came across a program that was similar in some ways to that of Lyoko. It was another world, a world known as The Matrix. It was hard at first, but nothing was out of XANA's reach when it came to hacking a system, and this was no different. It only took a matter of minutes to access the system of The Matrix, and as soon as he was done, XANA quickly entered the system, to figure out more about it. He was shocked as to how much of a resemblance it was to the real world. Soon he was greeted with a man with a business suit and sunglasses.

"Im sorry, but this is a dead end for you. I suggest you tell me why you are here. You are not apart of this world, and I don't welcome hackers with open arms. If you give me a good reason to why you are here, I may even make your demise less painful for you."

XANA was shocked by this statement. Who was this person, and why did he think that XANA was a hacker, did he not realize who he was messing with? XANA collected himself quickly, and came up with an excuse.

"Hacker?" Was XANA's first reply. "I am no hacker. I am the worlds most powerful computer virus, and Im the one who makes the threats. So I suggest you surrender to me before I destroy you, along with this world."

Now it was Smith's turn to be surprised. It's not often that hackers or even programs confront Smith. But Smith soon realized that he may have found what he was looking for. For little did XANA know, Smith too was out to reek havoc upon the world.

"Well, it's not often that people make threats to me. Then again, I usually don't let them. Looks like you and I aren't that different. You seem like you want to destroy earth as much as I do."

XANA was a little taken back, but realized that it was a little obvious from his last statement.

"So what are you saying, you want to form a partner ship?"

"I am saying this. You are having difficulty in making progress in your stride to dominate, just like I am having difficulties, otherwise one of us would have accomplished it by now, don't you agree?"

"You have a good point. But I must ask, why are you having difficulties?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same reason as your interferences. Let me take a guess, one that I'm pretty sure fits the description quite well. You are having trouble in progressing further into your plans do to the activity of an outside force. That outside force being a group of people who take the time to disrupt your plans, and make sure you fail in your set mission. The reason I say this is because I too am faced with the same problem. And I tell you, it can get quite aggravating."

"Looks like we agree on something after all. Perhaps if we were to join forces, this task of ours would not be so difficult to accomplish."

"Yes, indeed. We will have to make an arrangement, but unfortunately we will have to put it off until another time."

"Why is that?"

"The same reason you have. Your enemy is hard at work, trying to figure out how to destroy you, as is mine. You need to go back and disrupt your enemies plans before he finds away to do so. The reason I know this is because I am faced with the same situation. So I must go, as do you. And we will arrive at an old ware house at this address. Be there at that exact time, and we will make our arrangements."

Smith handed XANA a piece of paper with an address and time written on it, and then walked away into the distance. Smith was right, if XANA did not act soon, then Jeremy would possibly have been able to complete his anti-virus program. XANA wasted no time in going back to Lyoko, where he would disrupt Jeremy's plans, just like Smith was going to disrupt his own enemies, who ever they were.


It did not take long for XANA to create a disturbance in Jeremy's plans. How could he materialize Aelita if she was not there. XANA had taken Aelita with him to The Matrix by forceful surprise. She had no time to react at all the this action. As soon as XANA arrived back into The Matrix, he knocked her unconscious, and carried her to an abandonbuilding. He placed her inside and tied her up, so that he may deal with her later.
XANA was still walking along down the street, preceding to the address given to him by Smith. While walking, XANA kept thinking of all the possible means of destruction he and Smith will be able to accomplish with their, soon to be formed, partnership. He soon arrived at the address, and was greeted by Smith when he approached the warehouse.

"I see that you were able to arrive without much difficulty." Smith spoke to XANA.

"Yes, I had to take care of one minor thing." XANA replied.

"Involving you enemy, I would have to say?"

"Yes, I would explain it, but it's a long story."

"I see. Well, shall we get down to business then?"

"Yes, you said something about us making arrangements that would form a partnership."

"Well I wouldn't call it that, you can't really be a partner with your self now can you."

XANA was confused, and he is very rarely confused ever. What did he mean you can't be a partner with yourself? XANA pondered it some more, but his unasked question was soon addressed.

"I can tell that you are having trouble understanding what I meant by that. I knew you would, but it's not that hard to understand actually. It's like this, you are a program. So there for, you take no real physical form. In this world, every thing you see, feel, hear, and so on, is perceived to you as real. I have found a way around this, I have broken the rules per say. What Im saying to you, is that you have the ability to fuse yourself with me. If you had a physical form in another world, then this would not be possible, but that is not the case."

"So we can fuse, that was your plan. We will become one person with greater power."

"Yes, that we will. But I have a physical form in another world, but I have made it so I have a permanent stay here. So in actuality, you will fuse into me. I will look the same, but you will take a presence inside of my mind. It will be a sort of multiple personality, but only one of us can have control of the mind at a time. The good thing about that is we can switch back as often, and quickly as we like."

"You are saying this like you have done it before, have you?"

Yes I have, but it was different. I have the power to copy myself onto other programs or people inside the Matrix. I inject my hand into them, and like a virus, I spread through out them until the process is complete. They still exist in their mind, but when I copy myself, the person I copy to looks just like me. The only thing is, I never let the original holder of that mind to do anything, and I destroy it mentally, making it my own. Every time I do this, I have to wait a day in order to do it again, because of the energy that in requires. And only I have the power to do so, not my other selves. But that is slightly different than what we will be doing. You will do to me as I do to others. Inject your hand into me."

XANA was shocked at Smith's abrupt command. "You want me to what!"

"You heard me. Once you do this, you will be absorbed into my body, and will have instant access to my mind. Then when you are finished, we can start the destruction of the world."

XANA was a little skeptical about this, but soon collected himself and obeyed his order. He stunk his hand right into Smith's chest. XANA could feel himself being pulled in to Smith's body. It almost felt like dying and being reborn at the exact same time. Soon, XANA was a part of smith.


XANA opened his eyes to find himself to be what looked like an all white room, with no doors, windows, or anything, just a large white room. He was confused, was this Smith's mind XANA thought. XANA got up from his current position on the ground, and started to look around. Out of nowhere a door formed and Smith walked through it.

"Welcome to my world." Smith said in a serious, yet joking voice.

"What is this place?" XANA asked, still completely confused about what was going on.

"This is the mental aspect of my mind. This is not what it really looks like, this is just what you perceive it as."

"Makes sense to me, shall we try switching control of the mind?"

"Yes. Its not hard, we just both have to focus on the switch, and we will do so."

XANA and Smith focused on switching control. XANA was concentrating on gaining control, while Smith let go of it. The process only took a few seconds, and they were switched. The first thing that XANA noticed, was that he was in his body.

"I thought you said that you would remain physically the same, but here I am seeing myself, and I look no different than before."

"Looks like I was wrong in my judgements. Then again, you are the most powerful program that I have fused, or copied to I should say, ever. That must be affecting the output of the solution."

XANA understood this. In fact, he liked it more this way. Instead of just being part of someone, he was still himself at the same time, at least while he had control.

"Now that we have that all in order now, I say we begin what we set out to do." Smith stated, as they switched back to their original control.

But little did they realize that they would be off to a rough start, for Smith's enemy was close by.


Dang, that took me a long time. And not getting computer time does not help. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, considering how much I put into it. But one thing I hate most of all is candy-coated reviews. If you don't like the story, come right out and say it. Im not saying that people do this often, but when people leave reviews like "Oh, that was nice, keep going" it makes me think if they are really interested or not. Then again some people don't have much else to say, so Meh. Anyway, thanks to all those who have read reviewed and enjoyed this story. Finally I write something I can be proud of...and pardon any spelling/grammar errors, I will go back and fix them soon...ill try to update in a few weeks, but just remember, quality over quantity. Its better to have a few good chapters than a ton of crappy ones. Peace out every one.
