Everything was peaceful for the rest of the day Jeremy was busily working on programming the profiles. Ulrich and Yumi trained in Martial Arts. Aelita was working on homework in Jeremy room while Odd was just laying in his bed and Kat was dancing in her room. However the group's soon to be seventh member was just doing research on the net on her laptop.

Liz Stuart was a quiet American girl always with her nose in a book unless she was with the group which was on rare occasions and during meal times. She had a big crush on Jeremy but noticed that he and Aelita were always together. She was good friends with Aelita but didn't know about Lyoko. Anyhow, she was surfing the web hosting a public chat room when a user named Know it all Spirit entered into the Chat

Know it all spirit wrote "Good Evening American Nile Girl"

Liz noticed the message and wrote back "Good Evening, Know It All Spirit how are you?"

Know it all Spirit wrote "I'm doing good, but I need some information and one of my friends told me to look for you."

Liz wrote "I'll be happy to help, but don't you know it all already"

Know it all Spirit wrote "Funny Player, Na seriously do you know anyone by the real name of Jeremy Belpois?"

Liz blinked for a second and wrote "I do, what do you need to know?"

Know it all Spirit wrote "well, what I need to know is his user name on one of these chats I'm trying to contact him."

Liz wrote "I'll see if I can get him."

She went to the Instant Message on her computer and sent a message to Jeremy "Jeremy a friend of mine wants to meet you on the chat can you come?"

Jeremy wrote back as Einstein the Kid "I'm a little busy right this second Liz can the person wait for a few seconds."

Know it all Spirit suddenly entered into the instant message chat and wrote "I love too Jeremy problem is I need to talk to you now."

Liz wrote "What the? How you get on my instant message?"

Jeremy wrote "Hey who is this?"

Know it all Spirit wrote "My name is Guide and how I got onto the instant message is that I can hack anything I want to easily."

Jeremy wrote "What do you want?"

Guide wrote "To talk to you about the Lyoko Warriors."

Jeremy wrote "I don't know what you are talking about."

Guide wrote "you do know, you're their leader, at least you acted like it when Aelita was kidnapped this morning."

Liz gasped and thought to herself "Aelita was kidnapped?"

Jeremy wrote "Hold up, how do you know about that?"

Guide wrote "ah Player read the name I know it all and I know what your mission is and I want to help you."

Jeremy wrote "Help us? What can you do?"

Guide wrote "simple you want access to the Internet? I can link your Lyoko system to another computer that has access to it."

Jeremy wrote "You can?"

Guide wrote "All I need for you to do is head down to the factory and I can meet you there in person."

Jeremy wrote "Can it wait til tomorrow?"

Guide wrote "It can but the longer we wait the more likely XANA will attack you before we get a chance to meet."

Jeremy wrote "It can't be helped; I'm forced to stay inside after dark."

Guide wrote "That didn't stop you before when a tower was activated."

Jeremy wrote "Well it isn't an emergency, and if you know what XANA's capable of you know when an emergency occurs."

Guide wrote "Yeah, Yeah, I know. Alright Tomorrow Afternoon after your classes Meet me at the Factory with the whole group."

Jeremy wrote "Fine, we'll be there."

Guide signed off

Liz was stunned for about a minute attempting to understand the whole message finally she decided to message Jeremy again "Jeremy?"

Jeremy wrote "Yes Liz"

Liz wrote "What's Lyoko?"

Jeremy wrote "…hmm, Liz can you keep a secret?"

Liz wrote "I can"

Jeremy wrote "Very well can I have you come to my room so we can talk"

Liz wrote "I'll be there"

About two minutes later Liz entered into Jeremy Room. Jeremy was on his computer and Aelita was on the bed

Aelita said "You may want to sit down for this Liz"

Liz sat down on the bed next to Aelita and said "If this is a big secret Jeremy, why are we meeting in someplace where others can hear?"

Jeremy said "Because no one really pays any attention and don't understand what they hear anyhow."

Liz nodded slightly "hmm. Jeremy you seemed really panicked when Guide said he knew that you were the leader of the Lyoko Warriors"

Jeremy said "I was. No one except those in our group know who they are"

Liz sniffed slightly "and I'm not in your group even through you hang out with me"

Aelita said gently "He didn't mean it that literally Liz. We accepted you into the group thinking we would never have to mention the Lyoko Warriors again but this morning changed everything."

Jeremy said "Before we get into that I like to explain a few things. First off The Lyoko Warriors are a group of fighters sworn to fight against a Sentient Digital Entity named XANA. XANA in simple terms is a computer virus bent on dominating the world. He controls a virtual world called Lyoko and uses towers which are portals to the real world and uses them to attack people in the real world by whatever means necessary to complete his mission"

Liz nodded slightly taking in the information

Jeremy continued "The warrior's main mission was to escort a princess of Lyoko to the activated tower so that she can deactivate it and therefore stopping the attack."

Liz nodded again

Jeremy said "As time progressed XANA got stronger and stronger due to the fact that each time an attack occurred and was stopped the warriors returned to the past to the time before the attack and therefore erasing it like it never happened. However the Lyoko Warriors kept their memories so they still knew what had happened. Each time the warrior did the return jump XANA got stronger."

Liz said "sounds like it would be a never ending battle"

Jeremy nodded "It would have been. However the Warriors were loyal to their mission and stop XANA each time. They managed to bring the Princess to the real world and have her live among them like another human. However she would be plagued by dreams of a life she thought she never knew but in actually she had lived in the past. Due to these dream the warriors found out she had a partial set of keys to Lyoko. If she lost those keys she would die and XANA knew that because to complete his mission he would have to have the complete set"

Liz said "So he was willing to kill that princess to get what he wants"

Aelita nodded "The princess was fearful for her life as well as the lives of her friends, the warriors. They had done so much for her she knew she could never repay them. But they didn't want anything from her they just wanted peace and so did the princess."

Liz said "So what happened next"

Jeremy said "XANA knew that for the Princess to have the complete set she would have to regain something that he had; her Memory of a past life that she only seen flashes off in her dreams. He used that fact to trap the princess and take the keys from her ending up killing her."

Liz said "XANA won… didn't he"

Jeremy said "He would of if it weren't for Lyoko original creator stepping in and restoring the princess and making her whole. The princess was safe and couldn't be harmed by XANA anymore. The Warriors mission was to end there but then they learned of XANA plan to dominate the world and had to stop him. XANA tried to stop them from interfering by destroying Lyoko or by killing them in the real world but each time they stopped him. But soon the battle came too tough and the warriors had to bring in another but it was the greatest mistake for that warrior would be forced to the side of XANA and help him complete his mission by destroying Lyoko."

Liz said "XANA 2 Warriors 1"

Jeremy said "However once again the warriors were assisted by the creator and rebuilt Lyoko. Now it was the Warriors turn to take the offensive. They dove into a digital sea which was connected to Lyoko and followed XANA to several replicas of Lyoko which were hosted by various supercomputers. The Warriors made it their mission to destroy each computer and each time they found one they did but soon they found out that there were too many of them and XANA could keep building them so they decided to use a program called a Multi Agent System to attack XANA and wipe out the replicas at the same time. However they would have to save their one warrior from XANA clutches before they could do it and thanks to the princess they did and thanks to her father the creator I mentioned before they stopped XANA for good

Liz said "Final Score XANA 2 Warriors 3"

Jeremy nodded

Liz said "That is some amazing story Jeremy but how much of it is fiction"

Jeremy said "0 percent"

Liz said "0… you mean it's all true"

Jeremy nodded "The warriors were actual human who lived in this very school fighting XANA day in and day out for almost two years. However no one knew because if they did they would prevent the warriors from stopping XANA and saving the princess."

Liz said "And you know who these warriors are"

Jeremy nodded "I should know because I am one of them"

Liz tilted her head a little "really"

Jeremy said "I didn't do the physical fighting but I was the one who gave them various powers and upgrades to fight XANA and it was me who originally found and brought back the princess to the real world."

Liz said "So who's the princess"

Aelita said "I'll give you a hint she's in this room"

Liz turned to Aelita and said "You?"

Aelita nodded

Liz got wide-eyed "You mean to tell me that you were on that Virtual world and that your father was the creator of that world"

Aelita nodded "It was also thanks to his sacrifice that we destroyed XANA too." She sniffed slightly "I knew he loved me and would do anything for me including that"

Liz said "So you're now an orphan"

Aelita nodded "but I know that I'm in good hands with the other warriors and Jeremy as well"

Liz nodded and turned sad "I know the feeling of losing my parents too"

Aelita patted her on the back and said "But it's the memories of good time with them that will always stay with us"

Liz nodded "hmm." She looked up at Jeremy and said "So who are the other warriors?"

Aelita said "The other members of our group, Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and William."

Jeremy said "William was the one that was forced to XANA side. He still beats himself over it and how easily he fell. But he's grateful that we aren't holding it against him."

Liz said "So now that XANA dead do you still use Lyoko"

Jeremy said "I did, in secret, until this morning when we found out that XANA survived."

Liz jumped at this "HE WHAT!"

Jeremy said "survived. The Multi Agent System failed to remove one small piece of XANA just enough to hold his memories and his basic code. I don't know how he did it but he regenerated himself and upgraded from a self aware virus to a full function virtual being

Aelita said "He now looks acts and sounds completely human like you and me"

Liz said "and you found this out this morning"

Jeremy said "XANA took Aelita from her bedroom while she and Kat were sleeping and left a message on her bed inviting us to face him in a new challenge which with a bit of luck managed to win but now we're not sure what to do. With XANA new power he can attack us without using Lyoko so Aelita can't stop his attacks

Liz said "And if she can't stop his attacks you can't win"

Jeremy nodded

Liz said "So what are you going to do"

Jeremy said "That Guide that we met on the instant chat says he wants to help us I'm not sure whether to trust him or not but it's better then nothing I say"

Liz looked down "do you still accept new warriors even after what happened to William"

Aelita said "we accepted Odd Cousin Kat because she heard the story too and that was this morning."

Jeremy said "Do you want to help us Liz"

Liz looked up "Will you let me"

Jeremy nodded "We can use all the help we can get and trust"

Liz said "then you can count me in"

Jeremy said "Alright. We are going to meet Guide tomorrow at the factory. "

Liz smiled and said "Alright"

Aelita said "until then you need to get some rest and don't worry XANA is not going to attack us tonight I'm sure of it."

Jeremy computer beeped a message from Know it all Spirit "Trust Me Warriors, XANA has much more to worry about then you. See, others know and XANA knows what they can do as well. They are watching his every move. You are safe for now but the sooner XANA is destroyed the better because there is more then one world that in danger. I'll tell you the full story tomorrow until then check ya later Warriors"

Jeremy looked at his computer to see the message and jumped slightly "What the"

Liz said "Jeremy what's wrong"

Jeremy said "Liz you ever got the oddest feeling you're being watched."

Liz looked around nervously "um"

Aelita said "Now that you mention it..." she looked at the computer "I feel like someone is watching us"

A chuckle echoed from Jeremy speakers "Oh don't panic Warriors it's just me Guide. I'm going to be hanging around for a while making sure you are working toward completing your mission."

Jeremy said "What are you"

Guide said "I'll tell you tomorrow until then I won't bother you" and a static sound of logout is heard from the speakers
