Back with the warriors they were discussing this new player

"Sure doesn't look like my mother…" Aelita commented as she watched "maybe someone related to me like a cousin?"

Jeremy said "My questions are; Who is she? Where did she come from? And what replica did we miss that has other Lyoko Warriors?

Superfreak said "It's very strange…"

Guide said "Tell me about it players. This game got about as many sides as a cube." He pulled out a rubix cube and started rotating it aimlessly "First we got you guys, then we have XANA, the SMART Agency, The Chosen One and Central, This girl with the same code as you guys, and whoever she's allied with. This puzzle is huge but hey I like a challenge"

Aelita said "You sure you don't know anything else about this girl Guide we could use all the information we can get."

Guide said "All I got to say players is keep watching something bound to pop out of that girl mouth." He vanished in a bright light dropping the rubix cure… "You know I seriously got to get that glitch fixed. It's starting to annoy me" A small portal opened and the rubix cube fell down it.

Kat giggled "Does Guide know he's extremely funny when he glitches like that."

"Yes I do and it my own fault really… Guide voice sounded like he was still nearby "I get bored easily when no one calls for information so the Chosen One asked if there was any ability that could to keep me entertained without breaking my no fighting rule and I told him that the Anime Jester ability could and being the kind dude he is… He gave me the ability as a reward for helping him out during his adventures thing is it sometimes glitches especially when I'm doing my exits. Anyhow I think something coming up on screen… watch carefully players"

The group turned to the screen as the camera focused on this new player

The green armored girl walked with confidence toward the center of the site.

Two Tarantulas walked out and blocked the road with a growl

The girl said "I'm here to speak to your Boss XANA. Let me pass

The Tarantulas turned to a Kankrelat that was standing nearby and growled

The Kankrelat ran toward the tower and entered.

All of a sudden Xanatos exited out of it.

He waved the two tarantulas off and smirked "Afternoon can I help you?"

The girl said "You're XANA?"

Xanatos said "Nope my father busy with a business meeting I'm watching the sites for him."

The girl said "I have to speak to XANA it's very important."

Xanatos said "Leave a name and he'll call you to set up a meeting time. He's a very busy program."

The girl said "I have a meeting time already."

Xanatos sighed and pulled out a small computer and said "Who are you?"

The girl posed with her index finger "The name's Ta-ka-ra," She bounced her finger to each piece of her name, and may I ask who you are?"

Xanatos posed with his keyblade and said "Xanatos XANA's only son."

Takara laughed "Sandy Toes what type of name is that?"

Xanatos growled and pointed his keyblade at the girl and said "Xa-na-tos, get it straight girl before I use this keyblade to show you the door."

Takara said "Oh think you're so cool with your keyblade well I got a similar weapon" She pulled out a large silver chromed wide blade with what looked like a revolver cartridge on it and gun handle

"Oh No way!" Kat exclaimed "She's got Leon's Gunblade!"

Xanatos smirked "I see I'm not the only one who likes another world weapons."

"That's right… Takara said "So you going to tell me where XANA at"

Xanatos looked at his PDA said "Nope XANA doesn't have you on his list of meeting for today… "

Takara showed a slight smile and added a little seductiveness to her voice "I'm sure you can convince him to see me… I have a very important business proposition for him.

Xanatos gained a curious glance "Really…"

Takara moved closer while speaking "Yes… it will help him be able to control his sites more efficiently

Xanatos let Takara get close but then all of a sudden grabbed her wrist and touched her arm and a Sigma symbol appeared "Just as I thought… you're that Sigma Carrier that been walking around Google and other sites asking for information about my father."

Takara growled and broke free. "So what if I am?"

Xanatos said "I ain't dumb I know that virus within you can take control of any program. You're trying to get close to XANA so you can take control of his sites

Takara grinned "Clever little boy aren't ya… well no matter if you figure me out or not either way I'm going to get through to your father one way or another and nobody going to stop me.

Xanatos said "Go ahead and try Takara" He got into a battle pose "I always love bit stew seasoned with data from a virus like you."

Takara posed with her gunblade and said "flattery will get you no where pretty boy except a one way ticket to deletion"

Both charged at each other and clashed their weapons getting into a major swordfight

KC was watching this battle from his ship

KC spoke over the radio to the warriors "I don't know who this girl is but she's either confident in her abilities to take any foe down or crazy."

CO was saying the same thing to the M-group

#9 said "Personality, I think she's crazy CO. I mean look, that weapon's heavy for a girl to lug around. She can't really expect to hit a moving target like Xanatos and his keyblade"

Axel said "Ah but remember #9 it's doesn't matter how often you hit it's how hard you hit. Sure it would be nice if you could hit every swing but you make up for swing speed with power and I'll bet with the Sigma Boost ability that girl has she'll knock Xanatos up and down the block."

M nodded slightly "but Xanatos wields the Darkness Element and you know that in itself is powerful. Combine that with the Soul Eater's ability to gain strength when influenced by the Darkness and it's access to all type of Dark Element abilities including Dark Break, Dark Firaga, and even Dark Aura. If he's got enough ability points he could easily win this match."

CO said "You know I could never figure out why they called that dashing warp move Dark Aura. Sure it sounds cool and all that but isn't an Aura just a shield that surrounds the body?"

Axel said "You forget CO Aura is energy surrounding the body… it can be used like a shield to protect oneself but it also be used as a powerful attack. This goes for any type of energy."

CO said "But wouldn't Dark Rush sound better"

"hmm…" Axel tilted his head back and forth in thought "nah…" he concluded

CO sighed "alright."

#9 said "500 zenny says Xanatos will win."

CO said "I'll see that bet saying Takara will win"

#9 chuckled "foolish bet CO…"

Takara and Xanatos were still fighting and Takara was having a tough time hitting Xanatos but Xanatos couldn't get close enough or hold position long enough to use an ability.

Xanatos taunted "must be hard to swing that Gunblade around…" He zipped around Takara using a warp move.

Takara growled trying to land a hit "If ya just hold still you little brat I'll show you how hard it is!"

Xanatos said "I don't think so…" He warped and appeared on a building near the M-group but he couldn't tell they were there.

"I don't know who to cheer for…" Aelita commented "sure Xanatos is our enemy but this Takara girl is very weird.

Yumi said "and she isn't one of us."

Jeremy said "Yes if we could only understand what her goal is."

Takara looked up and said "Coward come down here and face me!"

Xanatos said "Be glad to" His keyblade shimmered slightly as an ability was activated "Dark Break!" He jumped down the building with his keyblade pointed downward like he was going to stab Takara from above.

Takara jumped nimbly to the side and Xanatos bounced against the ground and shot back up and homed in onto Takara for a hit. They kept doing this for five moves each time Takara dodging the attack.

Xanatos bounced into the air again from his last missed stab. "grr…" He flipped and shot toward the ground with his blade out aiming for Takara in a finisher style move

Takara moved back and Xanatos slammed the ground with his keyblade sending a wave of dark energy to hit Takara off her feet

Takara cried out slightly "ah…" but quickly recovered by using her gunblade like a post to fall back on and she flipped around it.

Xanatos had to take some time to recover the finisher disabling him for a few seconds but that all the time Takara needed,

Takara charged at Xanatos her Gunblade turning into it long sword mode and slashed Xanatos with several powerful hits, the final swing sending him flying into a building making it break with a major hole in it from the sheer force

Takara grinned and said "got him…"

CO grinned slightly "Looks like you owe me 500 zenny #9"

Axel had a small monitor in front of him monitoring Takara and Xanatos lifepoints and he said "Not yet, Xanatos still got a lifepoint… he had the undershirt ability active"

CO growled "At least he's smart enough not to go unprepared to battle"

Axel pointed to an orange bar on Xanatos stats and said "and he's got a full Omega bar due to that last attack." The orange bar was suddenly drained "and I think he's going to use it"

The ground shook slightly as Xanatos shot out of the building in a gliding position surrounded by a Darkness Element Aura. He roared and performed the Dark Aura move hitting the guard-less Takara with several fast blade dashes. He then shot into the air and his blade surged with dark energy as he came down almost on top of Takara.

M said "hit the helmets"

The M-group and CO quickly dove into their helmets

A massive explosion of dark energy hits everything within a 100 foot radius. The buildings taking heavy damage but it weren't enough to level them. Takara on the other hand wasn't so lucky. She took the blunt of the hit being sent flying and crashing to the ground her life points barely above 0. She was out cold and in danger of deletion if she took another hit.

Xanatos was panting heavily but still standing even with his lifepoints at one "humph that will teach that virus girl to mess with my father." He walked over seeing that Takara hadn't been forced to log out… "hmm she's still here."

KC spoke into his radio "Boss you want me to pick the girl up and get her out of there…"

Boss Superfreak spoke "Yes Agent she could have some information bring her back to HQ."

KC said "Got it I'm going in…"

KC logged into the site

Xanatos looked up and growled "You!"

KC grinned slightly "Yeah me… how ya doing Xanatos"

Xanatos growled "I'm fine for now…" he glared at the fallen girl "Damn virus tried to infect me and she was a tough one too…"

KC said "I know the feeling… girls like her don't go down without a fight…"

Xanatos said "Your response time was pretty fast Agent I didn't even call you yet."

KC said "Oh I was in the area… monitoring the local sites."

Xanatos said "really I thought my father told your group to stop doing that."

KC said "Patrols and monitoring are two different things."

"Right…" Xanatos growled "just get her out of here."

KC said "Got it" KC picked up Takara and her blade and all of a sudden a black key with a key ring with the Lyoko symbol attached to it feel out of her pocket. "hmm?"

"This key…" Xanatos picked it up and blinked "no wonder the security didn't detect her until she got too close… this is a full access key"

KC said "How'd she get one of those… does your father know her?"

Xanatos shook his head "no… at least he's never mentioned anyone like her."

"hmm…" KC said "well you best put that in a safe place you never know when someone could appear out of nowhere and…"

He was cut off because a pickax thrown like a boomerang hit Xanatos in the back.

Xanatos cried out "Ahh!" while doing a face plant and lost the key out of his grip. It bounced along the ground

The boomerang pickax flew out of range but then a call went out "Ma-ta matamo meta ma ti!" Which translated said "M-group! get the key!"

All of a sudden several Red helmet mettaurs about 12 ran out and one of them picked the key up using it's pickax "Meto! (#2) " it called passing the key by throwing it off it pickax

Another Mettaur caught it on his pickax with ease and ran with it

Xanatos saw what was going on. "Security! Stop those viruses"

Several Kankrelats appeared surrounding the area and charged up their lasers

#2 saw a Kankrelat in front of him "Ma ti! (#3)" It shouted while passing the key and then going for the Kankrelat using a slash move from it's pickax causing the Kankrelat to shatter.

The key was passed around to each virus each time a Kankrelat blocked it path. But then the last virus which look a little bigger said "Me ti Ma ta me too (CO it's all you)" He threw the key and all of a sudden CO appeared grabbed the key in his hand and smirked "Ma ta ma tay me ta ma ta me, (Tough Luck Xanatos) Meta ma te (CO strike again)" A black portal opened behind him and CO disappeared into it

"Meta Ma ta meta! (M-group scatter!)" The large Mettaur called

The viruses all took off in random direction but four of them went to the portal and 3 lined up with one in front of them. "Meta? (Ready?)" it called

"Mata! (Yeah!)" came the trio response

The fourth viruses did a shuffle step while singing the ole taunt song "Meta mata ma te META! (Shave and a haircut, two bits.)" and disappeared into the portal

Xanatos growled and slammed his fist into the ground being taunted like so.

KC sighed "The M-group… darn you Kevin don't you know that illegal!"

Xanatos said "Then why didn't you do anything about it?"

KC said "I didn't recognize them until after #9 and his music group did the Shave and a Haircut taunt"

Xanatos roared and cursed the Chosen One heavily

KC said "and on that note I'll be on my way…" He picked up Takara and logged out

The Lyoko Warriors had seen all this from the office

"I knew that was going to happen…" Superfreak sighed "with the Chosen One as a virus we can't prove that it was him via the logs and unless KC says it was Kevin which he won't we can't charge Kevin with hacking and stealing. He's gets away with it"

Odd said "So being a virus is a good way to break the law huh?"

Superfreak said "Don't get any ideas. Odd Della Robbia. Gaining and using a virus mode is extremely dangerous unless you are used to that virus type of code.

Aelita said "We won't obtain one I'm sure of it… but I wonder if the CO going to pass that key to us… Xanatos did say it was a full access key

Superfreak said "If he does you are to give it to me without using it… It's stolen property The agency will not allow that"

Jeremy said "Right… of course Ms. Superfreak."

Yumi said "But it adds to the questions, how did Takara get that key?"

Superfreak said "It will be answered along with the other questions you had when we interrogate her after she recovers. Until we get some information about this Takara girl you are not to hack any of XANA's sites. Are we clear?

Ulrich said "As crystal Boss Superfreak. If that all we'll be on our way"

Superfreak said "Your weapons should be done being scanned. Thank you for your help."

Kat grinned "no problem"

The Lyoko Warriors headed out of the office and when they were out of range Boss Superfreak sighed and sunk in her chair "Chosen One I seriously hope you know what you are doing, hiring these kids to take care of XANA, it's crazy but yet you are known to do crazy things and they end up being the right thing. I just hope the secret doesn't get told to the real world. It would ruin everything…"
