Chapter 1: Prequel

For quite some time, Jeremie had been working on Aelita's materialization program, and he got it three times, and succeeded once. But XANA played one more trick and, right before the

process, inserted Aelita's virtual form with a virus that was materialized with her, so no one could purge XANA without destroying Aelita as well. So now he had a new project to work on.

And this was way more challenging than the post-project. Especially the fact that the virus was created by a demented central processing unit bent on world destruction and biological

slavery. Jeremie was just about falling asleep, but used his last pint of will power to search one more file.

The 12-year-old genius wearily double clicked on the open symbol. The screen started to rapidly flash, the lights on the modem danced with power, trying to pool together bountiful
amounts

of data. It seemed he found it. His heart finally started to rise. Mabey things were starting to turn around. But, something wasn't right. As his eyes adjusted to the blinding light, he realized

those weren't any other kind of letters he had seen before. They were almost alien, and he was the super-genius here. No matter, right now, all that matters is that he is in possession of

the… blip. The flashing stopped. A little window appeared on the screen. It read, "The file is owned and licensed to the S.S.T.A.A.C. Your computer cannot access this file, as it does not

have the proper strength." Underneath that, there was a neon purple, blue, and green shape, almost half star and half crescent. The excitement rush was not enough to keep him awake.

Soon Jeremie couldn't keep his strained eyes open. He slowly faded into sleep.

He had no idea most of this would be made clear shortly by a most dynamic character.
