Back in the real world the group was heading back to the school and Aelita was talking to them about what she picked up from XANA talking to her.

"From what XANA told me," Aelita started "There was just one piece of him remaining after the Multi Agent System with enough information on it to keep his memory. He regenerated from that piece and used the Internet's power to upgrade himself. He's now about as much a human as the rest of us. He's got a voice, a personality, even a sense of humor and a dark one at that."

"You sure you're okay Aelita?" Kat asked "I'd be scared out of my wits."

Strawberry growled in a concerned tone as well.

Aelita hummed "I'm fine." She replied "although Xanatos wanted to cut me into pieces."

"Xanatos?" Yumi echoed

Aelita looked at her "Think William and give him a personality change from who we know to a quiet loyal and vengeful type. XANA claims Xanatos is his son and Xanatos has the same respect as a boy to his father."

Ulrich scoffed "Sounds like Nightmare Jr. to me." He grumbled

Aelita looked at him "I guess, but in a sense he had a right to be mad we did destroy him and his father." She replied

"But I'll bet XANA didn't tell his son that it was because we were trying to stop his father from taking over the world and killing people." Jeremy pointed out

Aelita sighed "hmm I think Xanatos knows his father going to take over the world and I think he can do it now too."

"Not if we have anything to say about it," Odd stated "right Einstein."

Jeremy sighed slightly "hmm," He hummed "I'm not fully sure we can stop him now." He stated "The Multi Agent System was supposed to do destroy him and if he even survived that. I don't think anything else will work."

Ulrich growled "There got to be something we can do." He stated "I doubt anyone would believe us if we told the world there's a sentient program out there on a mission to take over the world."

"True," Jeremy stated "but I got the feeling that there more to this Internet then we know."

"Like what Jeremy" Yumi asked

"If a place is so powerful that it can restore and upgrade a virus to a full functioning virtual humanoid complete with everything a human has then there got to be some sort of source of its power and someone controlling that power." Jeremy stated

Ulrich said "like who or what?"

"maybe people who know about XANA and what he's capable of." Jeremy stated "if they restored him who knows what else they have done maybe they've built an entire universe of these sentient programs." He theorized

Odd laughed "Jeremy, are you telling us there could be actual virtual beings in that world?" He stated in jest "Come on what are the odds of that?"

Little did Odd know that exactly what the Internet was and there were others who knew what XANA capable of, and two of them were on a mission to make sure that XANA didn't complete his mission, no matter how hard he tried."

The first one was sitting in a lab like area in the real world. He's a 28 year old medium built guy in a causal tan shirt and black pants and sharp blue eyes with a serious vengeful demeanor on his face. Being rejected from his position due to demands from XANA has left him with the idea that he is willing to break rules to destroy anyone who gets in his way.

The guy was typing on the computer looking at a screen that was mostly red squares with a few green and blue squares encircling a single gold square

"Hmm, not much has changed since yesterday." The guy muttered to himself "XANA still has about 90% of the internet while I only have Central but as long as the keys are protected he can't do anything to Central, to me or to the other worlds I protect. I just hope that Guide can find those warriors."

"Hey Kevin" called out a voice

The guy looked up "Guide?"

A spirit of a human appeared in a causal outfit "Yep. So anything change while I was gone"

Kevin shook his head "Nope, did you find them?"

Guide nodded "I think I have player," He replied "but you're not going to like this."

Kevin growled "As long as they are not in leagues with XANA," He muttered "I don't care."

Guide hummed "Okay," He stated "I've found out that the Lyoko Warriors are virtualized humans."

Kevin jumped at this "What! Humans!" He exclaimed "But they can't be Agents," He stated "Boss Superfreak never heard of them."

"I know that," Guide replied "but it gets worse, guess how old they are."

"I hope at least 18" Kevin grumbled

"Sorry Player they're 14, 15, and 16" He stated

Kevin grunted in annoyance "What's a bunch of kids doing with access to the virtual realm?" He demanded as if he was bugged that kids had access to it.

Guide raised up his hands "Don't look at me Player I had nothing to do with it."

Kevin gave Guide a look "You sure?" He retorted "Maybe you forgot."

Guide turned into an old grandpa looking man and knocked Kevin on the head with a cane "Hey Sonny I maybe old but I don't have memory problems" He said in a raggedy voice

Kevin rubbed his head "Excuse me Guide," He said in a sarcastic tone "you're the one who supposed to know everything. So how did they get access to the virtual realm anyhow?"

Guide continued the old man act and said "I think their leader, a Jeremy Belpois, discovered a supercomputer within an old abandoned car factory. It had a complete setup with full body scanners and everything."

Kevin said "Really, scanners, that's ancient technology in virtual terms. Hmm, alright well have you made contact with them?"

Guide transformed back to his original form, "Nope, not yet, but I plan to this afternoon our time."

Kevin said "Good, make sure you tell them the full story."

Guide said "The full story player?"

Kevin said "The full story from your point of view."

Guide eagerly rubbed his hands together said "Oh goody, I love to tell thing from my view. Don't worry I'll make sure they know."

Kevin said "Good, by the way where are they located."

Guide said "Known Location, Kadic Academy in France."

Kevin said "oh… that's going to be tough hope your French is good?"

Guide said "Trust me Player it is" and vanished.

The second one was an program in a Man in Black outfit with a detective overcoat and hat in human term he would be about 25 and he has a serious look as well but he knows as long as XANA keeps the peace he can't do anything but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

"So far XANA your security upgrades have done what they are to do but I'm still not convinced that it would protect the sites from a level 1 attack." The Agent said as he was leaning on a wall.

XANA was sitting at a table with a woman about 35 with green hair.

The woman sighed, "Agent KC, XANA gone over this before. He's says the sites will link up together creating new paths"

XANA said "It would be guaranteed if Kevin would have given me the Keys to Central. Central has enough power to make sure that the sites will remain connected."

KC said "I know that, remember Kevin is my creator and I'm pretty damn sure there's a reason he didn't hand over the keys. The reason he gave about you wanting Central so you can take over the real world seemed pretty legit."

XANA growled and said "You still believe him even when I've proven that those accusations are false"

KC said "and therefore he doesn't trust you and to state a fact neither do I. Something about you just tells me you have another agenda and I'm going to find out what it is one way or another. I would trust you if you told me the truth about what happened in the past"

XANA said "I told you and everyone else what happened Agent. I was betrayed and destroyed by my creator doing, why won't you believe me?"

KC said "because if your creator is how you described him, he would only destroy if and only if he felt it was required to save other people, people they care about and I'll bet his daughter had the same idea."

XANA said "you have sided with them, humans, you betray your own kind."

"Gentlemen," Ms. Superfreak said "I request you both settle down." She looked at KC "Agent you are dismissed, I will talk with you later."

KC said "permission for one last statement to XANA."

Boss said "one last statement that's all."

KC nodded and stood up "Just remember this XANA you attack Central or Kevin you won't like what I'll do to you"

XANA said "Is that a threat Agent?"

KC posed with a smirk "Nope, it's just a warning" he replied then walked out.

XANA exhaled then turned to KC's boss "Ms. Superfreak having a loose cannon like KC could be trouble for this Agency. I recommend you remove him from duty"

Superfreak said calmly "XANA I'm not removing one of our best Agents from duty just because you say so. The Agency's official position is that we believe the story you have given and have accepted that you own most of the Internet sites through your contracts with them. But do remember this, any trouble occurs in the real world because of your direct actions in this realm we will come down on you hard like a ton of bricks simple as that."

XANA said "I understand the reference, Ms. Superfreak. I will obey the laws you humans have set but understand my position against your species authority over this realm, betrayal by your creator is something I wish on no one. I do not what to see this world destroyed by the actions of a human"

Superfreak said, "and we do not want a program to destroy this realm either. After all the Project Carthage program you mentioned is one such program and since we both know your connection with that program, you can understand the position of KC as well as a few others about you."

XANA said "yes… I do understand… I apologize for my outburst. Controlling my emotions is still difficult. They are very volatile when it comes to some subjects."

Superfreak said "your apology is accepted it happens to the best of us XANA."

XANA said "if that is all, I left my son in charge of my sites and I would wish to release him from that duty so that he may have his freedom."

Superfreak said "one last thing, I was going over our deal and noticed a clause that I like to change with your permission. It's about the administrative freeze on hackers that are caught in your sites. I know you hold them for a few days before you release them to us, which is allowed."

XANA said "So what is the trouble."

Superfreak said "it was the former policy that captured hackers on the Internet were transmitted to us before they are deleted. The last rogue that was brought to us faded out due to his injuries from a Megatank."

XANA said "I see… I apologize for that. I did not know his injuries were potentially fatal. I will notify the manager of that site and change that policy immediately."

Superfreak said "thank you, that is all XANA."

XANA said "very well, Ms. Superfreak have a nice day"

Superfreak nodded "hmm"

XANA walked out and about two minutes later Boss Superfreak pushed a button on her intercom "Agent KC can you report to my office"

KC entered and said "You call Boss"

Superfreak said "Agent you know you're not supposed to make outbursts like that."

KC sighed "Boss You know the Kevin's accusations are true we saw that information"

Superfreak said "But XANA doesn't know that and we don't want to be in the same boat as the Chosen One it's bad enough we had to make that deal anyhow"

KC said "It's true Kevin did act a little rash when XANA asked him on why he wouldn't hand over the keys and spilled the information."

Superfreak said "Have you talked with Kevin recently"

KC shook his head "I'm afraid Kevin giving everyone the silent treatment even me. He gave the lord their orders and that's it. I think he's hiding on Central Island but even I can't be sure. If only I knew what he's planning."

Superfreak said "Have you called Guide and asked him"

KC said "Guide given me minor hints. Kevin looking for some sort of warriors… I don't know how to pronounce the word but it's something like Loco… but it hold the L somehow uh…

Superfreak said "I think it's Lyoko Warriors"

KC said "Yeah that's it Lyoko, Lyoko Warriors…"

Superfreak said "hmm I think I know who he's looking for. From the information we gathered Agent there was a group that fought against XANA before and supposedly deleted him

KC said "Really… hmm that makes sense. That must be the group that XANA said was his son murders but if that's true they must be bought to justice."

Superfreak said "I think we need to know the truth before we judge them Agent"

KC nodded "So Boss do I have a mission about these warriors"

Superfreak said "Not directly but I want you to monitor the connection to the outside Digital Sea. I've got a feeling that how the Lyoko Warriors will enter the Internet."

KC said "And if I see anyone?"

Superfreak said "Then report to me and follow them."

KC nodded "Right" and headed out

Back with the group Kat responded to Odd joke "You never know Odd anything possible."

Jeremy said "Right now, I'm going to do some work on our profiles this afternoon we'll test them out tomorrow."

Aelita asked "Need any help?"

Jeremy said "I could always use the support Aelita."

The bell rang in the distance

Yumi said "Let's go Class is almost starting."

Everyone headed off to their various classes
