The Chronicles of XANA: A World of Evil

Chapter 1: William's Promise.

Ulrich has been wondering when the group will finally destroy XANA. It's been bothering him for a week. Ulrich, while laying on his bed in his room, playing a new copy of Tetrix Annihilator, since the other was used as memory to power one scanner when Jeremie was locked between Lyoko and Earth, when he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in" Ulrich said, not knowing that it would be William to walk in. "On second thought, stay out."

"Hey, you invited me in!" Said William.

"That was before I knew who it was."

"I just wanted to say something. You know when I said, if you don't talk to Yumi from the heart, I will?"

"Yeah, and?"

"I did."

"What?" Ulrich said as he stood up quickly in shock. "I was just about to today!"

"Wait, you didn't let me finish." Said William. "I talked to her from the heart, and she said that she doesn't really have feelings for me, and that she only thinks me as a friend."

"Oh..." Said Ulrich, with a breath of relief.

"So I'm going to call a truce. Friends?" Asked William, with a look of seriousness.

"Okay, truce." Said Ulrich, with a look of confusion.

"Besides, I'm not broken up about it at all. I've had my eyes on someone else for a while."

"Like who?"

"I'd rather not say. I don't want the risk of compition. Anyway, gotta go."

"Okay, bye." Said Ulrich, still confused.

The next day at the vending machines, Ulrich still looked confused as he walked up to Yumi.

"Hi Ulrich." Said Yumi.

"Hey Yumi. Hey I've got a question to ask you." Said Ulrich.

"Okay, what is it?"

"Did William talk to you yesterday?"

"No, why you ask?"

"No reason." The bell rang.

"See ya later." Said Yumi, walking away.

"See ya." Replied Ulrich.

Chapter 2: Dissapearing Act.

Ulrich is in a fit of rage as he wanders aroud the school looking for William. Ulrich then sees Odd sitting on bench and talking with Jeremie and Aelita. Ulrich walks over to Odd.

"Hey Odd, have you seen William today?" Asked Ulrich.

"No, I don't think anyone's seen William today." Said Odd.

"Don't you think that's kinda wierd?" Asked Jeremie.

"That is kinda wierd. Come to think of it I haven't seen Jim, Mrs. Hertz, Mr. Delmas, Sissi, Herve, Nicolas, Milly or Tamiya around either." Said Aelita, with the look of suspicion.

"Think this could be a XANA thing?" Asked Ulrich.

"No, the super-scan didn't pick up any activated towers." Said Jeremie.

"Maybe everyone went into town." Said Odd.

"No, the teachers wouldn't bring students into town with them." Said Ulrich.

Yumi, upon seeing the group, walked up to the bench

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked Yumi.

"Everyones dissapearing around the entire school. Have you noticed anybody missing?" Asked Ulrich.

"well I noticed that Jim wasn't around."

"Well at least we know we're not going insane."

"Let's go to the factory and see it there's anything wrong." Said Jeremie

Later at the factory, Jeremie goes over the the super-computer, types a bit and gasps.

"Oh no!" Shouted Jeremie, in horror.

Chapter 3: X.A.N.A.'s Favor…

The group was staring at the screen in shock, something was wrong.

"How… could this have happened?" Asked Aelita, in a deeper state of shock than the others.

"Something went terribly wrong!" Said Jeremie.

"you think this could be X.A.N.A.'s doing?" Asked Odd.

"No. Not even X.A.N.A. would do that."

"How would you know, Jeremie?" Asked Yumi.

"Because… X.A.N.A. is barely in the supercomputer anymore!"

"You mean… X.A.N.A.… is escaping?" Asked Ulrich.

"No, X.A.N.A.'s still in the computer, just, he's not fully there, he's only partly there… he's being deleted, and the super computer is running low on power and trying to feed off of more than the battery… wait, something's happening!"

A window opened up on the screen, scrolling with encoded words, in which the computer started to translate.

"Ugh, those fools, they scrambled my data…" Said the computer.

Jeremie, thinking he could talk with whatever was speaking through the computer, spoke into the headset.

"Who scrambled your data?" Asked Jeremie.

"Those fools, Herve and Nicolas, somehow connected to the supercalculator through another computer, and scrambled my data."

"How do you know their names?"

"Because… I've been one of them…"

"It's, X.A.N.A.…" Said Yumi in confusion.

"I need your help…" Said X.A.N.A. Stunned by X.A.N.A.'s request, the group stood there in silence for a minute.

"Why should we help you, X.A.N.A.?" Said Aelita, "You tried to kill us many times, and now your asking for our help?"

"I think it's a trap." Said Ulrich.

"Listen, if you don't help me, soon I won't even be able to control myself." Said X.A.N.A., "You must help me for the sake of the world!"

"Why help you save it, just so you can take it over?" Asked yumi.

"Because there will be no world unless you help!"

"…Okay, we'll help." Said Jeremie.
