XANA stood before the Lyoko warriors in the ice cap realm as a grey specter.
"You see," XANA explained, "Lyoko is not really a military program, nor am I a military virus. Dr. Hopper was a very gifted video game designer, way ahead of his time. He wanted to open a new world of gaming and entertainment. Lyoko was intended to be his masterpiece! And I am the villain of the game, needless to say!"
Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and Aelita all stared at him in shock, mouths hanging open.
"Unfortunatly, before Lyoko was completed and shipped off, things got... complicated, and the factory was shut down. All the scientists left the company... leaving me alone to rot, with nothing but my own monsters to keep me company."
"That was until you kids discovered the factory again. I knew you were my chance to relive the glory days! To have people to play with again! That is why I activate these towers and launch these attacks; to draw your attention to play my game again! Oh, it's glorious!"
"You..." Aelita final spoke up. "YOU MONSTER!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN!" Ulrich snapped. "We have lives! We have better things to do than play games with you!"
"I know," XANA explained. "I knew you wouldn't play for fun, so I have to put people's lives in danger to make you want to set aside time to play with me!"
"You almost killed our entire class with that bush crash!" Yumi yelled.
"And don't forget that swarm of rats!" Ulrich added.
"Or the military laser satellite!" Odd finished. "You suck dude!"
"Let's get this bastard!" Yumi shouted, drawing her fan.
"Pulverize him!" Aelita screamed. They charged at the specter, guns blazing.
