Meanwhile back with Jeremy, Liz and Yumi had made it back to the group and were waiting by the desk the runner came into Clips Arcade. "A reply from Katleen Della Robbia." He handed the disc to Jeremy.

Jeremy turned curious "she say anything?"

The runner shook his head "no," He replied then turned worried and looked behind himself "but uh that disc was a target for four rogues and one chaser of the Rockets, a powerful rogue gang in Google." He stated "I think the chaser and a rouge are right behind me."

Terra and the other rouge pulled up to Clip's and jumped off their boards "You see him Ryan." Terra called out

The rogue shook his head "nah" He replied "must have dove into Clip's to deliver the file."

The runner said "that's them, if you got anything else it will cost extra."

Jeremy stored the disc in his pocket and said "no, that's all, get out of here"

The runner nodded "right." He took off dashing away from Terra and Ryan.

Terra whipped her head to see the runner run off "There he goes." She stated "He just left Clip's."

Ryan readied his board and said "we going after him."

Terra shook her head lightly then looked toward the front door of Clip's "nah someone in there got the disc. I'll go in you make sure no one else gets out."

Ryan grunted and took a stance "right Terra."

Jeremy glanced at the others "scatter, act natural, when the others come tell them to meet Liz and I at the Agency." He leaned on the counter as if he was looking at something Clip was selling.

Without a reply, Odd walked off heading for the lounge while Ulrich and Yumi walked off to look at some of the games.

Liz grabbed Jeremy's hand and came close like they were a couple.

Jeremy blushed "uh Liz"

Liz smiled and said "you said act natural." She then gave a light giggle "come on we're on a date remember, and you're buying something for me from Clip's"

Jeremy hummed "right" He continued to look "hey Clip do you have anything Egyptian-like in a trinket?"

Clip hummed as he turned around "now let me think…" he muttered as he added to pretense

Terra entered into the arcade, put on an innocent face, and approached the counter. "Excuse me Clip did a runner come in here with a message for someone?"

Clip pointed his thumb in the direction of the lounge and said "yeah, he headed to the lounge."

"thanks!" She chirped then walked off heading in that direction

Clip signaled to Jeremy to leave.

Jeremy nodded and with his hand in Liz's they walked out of the Arcade.

Ryan approached them "hey you two…" He grunted "hold it…"

Liz gasped in slight fear.

Jeremy gave him a death glare as he covered Liz slightly "move on rogue I don't want trouble."

Ryan posed tough like and said "now you listen here robot man. Someone sent a stolen disc to someone in Clip's and I ain't letting anyone pass me.

Jeremy sighed "I need to get my girl home safely before her parents wonder why we are late. I assure you we didn't get or see anyone get a disc."

Ryan growled as he looked at the two then grunted "fine, get out of here."

Jeremy said "come on Liz."

Liz nodded slightly in fear and both walked toward the end of the site.

While the scene with Jeremy and Liz walking was playing in a corner like a picture in picture type of effect. Kat and Aelita were talking with the rogues they just defeated. Kat had decided to tie Lyle and the other two rogues together with an escape-proof rope, an item from the Cartoon Weapon Collection that prevented anyone from escaping or logging out. It was also handy to tie someone up with and only weapons used by non-tied up programs could break them out.

Lyle grunted as he lightly struggled with his bonds "you know is this really necessary?" He asked "I already said we won't attack you. We know you don't have the disc anymore."

Kat grinned smugly "This is what you get for messing with us." She taunted

Lyle growled while rolling his eyes "just don't think you'll get away with this." He stated, "If Terra's smart like I know she is she'll get 'him' into the mix and once he's in you'll regret it."

Aelita said "who's him?"

Lyle smirked "her boyfriend."

Kat scoffed "heh and like some other rogue is going to do any better then you did?" She asked

The scene with Liz and Jeremy expanded to cover half of the screen when they reached the end of the site. The scenes played in real time sync so that both could be seen

"oh you'll see;" Lyle said to Kat and Aelita while at the end of the site a bus came in "her boyfriend quite powerful with the darkness element."

A guy in a black cloak came out of the bus making Jeremy flinch slightly in surprise

"The way he swings that black blade around," Lyle explained "I'm glad he's in my group and not a rival group."

The black cloak looked at Jeremy and said "alright Jeremy hand it over."

Aelita said "wait a second, Black Blade, Darkness,"

Liz blinked as she recognized the voice and said "Jeremy I think that's..."

The screen went into four squares of Kat, Aelita, Liz and Jeremy all said "Xanatos!" at the exact same time.

A full screen came back as a close up of Xanatos occurred as he took off the hood with a flick of his purple hair and said "yeah it's me."

Jeremy gained a sunken face "oh don't tell me, the disc…"

"is mine." Xanatos finished with an annoyed tone "now I'll tell the Agency to layoff if you just give it that way we can all go home and do our own things without any other problems."

Jeremy gave him a curious look "How you know I have it."

Xanatos chuckled lightly and pulled out a hand-held scanner "I got a sensor tag on the disc that way in case it's stolen I can find it easily."

Jeremy hummed "okay, how about we go to the Agency and then do the transfer that way we know that they know it's been cleared up and restore our status. See I didn't know Kat stole it until after the Agency called us"

Xanatos scoffed and said "got busted by the feds huh."

Jeremy said "pretty much yeah, I was planning on giving it to them so that they can return it. Kat had no business taking anything."

Xanatos said "so why she take it in the first place?"

Jeremy exhaled "I honestly don't know." He replied "I told the group to meet us at the agency and I'm going to find out the truth of what she did."

Xanatos hummed then nodded "fair enough" He signaled to the bus to hold on for a second then pulled out a phone and dialed a number.

Back in the arcade a phone in Terra's jean pocket rang and she pulled it out, saw who it was and said "Hey Santos."

Xanatos said "Hey Terra is Lyle with you?"

Terra said "no, we split up. That Fox Girl sent the disc to Clip's and Lyle sent Ryan and me to get it while he dealt with her and the Angel Girl with the others. We're looking for whoever receive it now."

Xanatos said "ah well just let you know I managed to recover it. Seems their leader Jeremy had it on him. He's was on his way to Agency and is at the site entrance"

Terra said "huh, what did he look like he must have slipped right past me."

Xanatos said "think Megaman he was with an Egyptian like princess."

Terra's mind flashed back to seeing Liz and Jeremy near Clip when she came in. "oh…" She whined "I passed right by him, and Ryan didn't guard the door." She growled and said "I'm going to give him a piece of my mind he's doesn't want."

Xanatos chuckled lightly "calm down Terra, Jeremy's handing it over. It's seems he had no knowledge it was stolen or mine."

"But what about that Fox Girl?" Terra asked "She's got a real attitude."

Xanatos said "I'll deal with her later at another time. You just get back to Lyle and tell him mission complete. You guys did well enough."

"Thanks Santos," Terra replied "so uh we still good for tonight?"

"yeah." Xanatos replied "I'll pick you up around 7 cool."

"yep," Terra replied "see ya then."

Xanatos hung up his phone then looked at Jeremy "Let's go,"

Jeremy nodded "right"

All three of them boarded the bus "SMART Agency HQ." Xanatos said

"Right" The driver said "Next stop the Agency."

At the Agency, The trio entered to see KC waiting patiently

Jeremy said "uh Agent KC"

KC smirked slightly "hey Jeremy, Hello Liz… He then looked at Xanatos and then blinked in shock "Xanatos?"

Xanatos smirked and said "Hello Agent I'm here to confirm that the Lyoko Warriors have returned the property they stole from site 12"

KC said "they did?"

Jeremy handed the disc to Xanatos. "we did."

KC gained an enlightened look "I see." He replied then turned confused. "Wait a second, the logs say that you were in site 13, how did you get the disc?"

Xanatos said "you might get a report that the Rogue Gang, Rockets had a little fight with the Lyoko Warriors and also chased down a runner that was employed by them."

Jeremy said "It seems Kat got her hands on the disc somehow and sent it to me with no explanation. I'm waiting for her to show up to explain herself."

"Explain myself, Gosh darn it, do I have to explain to everyone that the disc isn't stolen."

Kat had entered with rest of the group, She had her sour face on.

KC said "oh is that the story you're going with Miss Della Robbia. You were warned that if you take anything from a site without telling the Agency first that you will get in trouble.

Xanatos said "double trouble because you messed with me, Fox Girl."

Kat said "and I'm telling you, the only things I took was the rewards I gained from a databattle." She pulled out a program card and a wad of cash. "I earned cash, a program card of a turbo, and the so called stolen disc from a hidden databattle, ask Guide he was there, he tried to pull a salesman routine on me to have him cough up information."

KC said "is that right. I can understand the money and the program card, that's credits and a target file but the disc…" He shook his head "I'm not buying it."

Xanatos scoffed "and neither am I."

Kat said "well it's the truth," She looked upward "Guide get your butt down here and tell these knuckleheads I'm telling the truth."

Guide chuckled as he appeared "It's true, she's telling the truth, all those rewards were from the databattle."

KC said "that's not what the logs say."

Guide grinned "you sure about that? Check them again."

KC pulled up a screen and looked at the logs then frowned "I see what you did, you swapped the target file with the disc then placed it into the perfect databattle removing the Megatank Card."

Xanatos said "huh?"

KC said "Xanatos, Guide did some rearranging to the databattle in site 12 he purposely made your disc a target file. I'm afraid the true mastermind is Guide"

Xanatos glared at Guide "why you lousy spirit." He pulled out his sword "I'll teach you to mess with me."

A trumpet sounded for a bullfight. Guide transformed into a Bullfighter, and waved a large red cloth. "ja, ja, vamos toro, muéstrame lo que tienes." (Ha, Ha, Come on Bull show me what you got.)

Xanatos snorted and charged up as his blade "Dark Firaga" He shouted then fired a searing burst of dark energy from his blade

Guide yelped and shielded with the cloth the attack igniting it and making it turn to ash.

Xanatos chuckled "didn't see that one coming did ya."

"You're supposed to be the bull not the sharpshooter…" Guide grumbled

Xanatos chuckled "who says I play by the script?" He asked

Guide made a face "not me that's for sure."

KC had an amused face "you two done?"

Xanatos smirked "yeah I'm done."

Guide sneered "you guys always ruin my fun." He transformed back to normal.

Kat gave a glare to Xanatos "so what's the whole big deal about this disc anyhow Xanatos?"

Xanatos said "this disc is information for my eyes only." He gave her a slight glare "you didn't look at it did you."

Kat stared at him "nope I was waiting to meet up with the group." She replied

Xanatos huffed "good," He broke the stare then pocketed the disk "last thing I need is you all looking at private data."

Guide said "hey come on now Xanatos, I think the group deserves to know what you know about yourself."

Xanatos glared at the spirit "and what do I know, only the things that XANA's told me nothing else and I'm sure they know what he's told me."

Guide said "that's not fully true" He flew past him and swiped the disc out of his pocket. "After all I gave you this disc it has information" He waved the disc slightly

Xanatos swiped the disc back "it just cut scenes from a well known game." He stated "It doesn't have anything to do with me."

Guide chuckled in an amused tone "oh you are so mistaken Xanatos," He stated in a condescending tone "but I guess if you just want to continue remaining in the dark. I guess you can ignore the similarities of a certain character in that game."

Kat looked at the spirit "which game Guide?!"

Guide chuckled "Blank, Blank Re: Blank of Blank"

Kat turned confused "huh?"

Guide chuckled "have fun figuring it out players." He vanished

Kat looked at Xanatos "alright Xanatos what game and what character."

Xanatos gave her a look and stored the disc "like I'm going to tell you?" He replied in a sour tone "If it's one thing I don't like its people sticking their noses in places it doesn't belong." He looked at KC "You can restore white hat hacker status to everyone except Kat she's the culprit and a known thief."

KC said "if you say so Xanatos."

Kat made a face "hey Sandy Toes you got a problem with me? Why don't we step outside and settle it."

Xanatos scoffed "some other time Fox-girl. I got things to do later." He vanished into a logout.

Kat growled "coward!" She shouted

"he can't hear you." KC replied

Kat huffed "whatever," She muttered as she looked at him with annoyance "are we done here?"

KC smirked at her "why you got somewhere to be?" He asked

"yeah," She replied in an annoyed tone "I was in the middle of shopping when those damn rogues attacked for no good reason." She grinned "at least I showed them."

KC gave her a look "you really don't think you did anything wrong do you?" He asked

Kat glared at him "no I didn't," She stated "I didn't steal anything, I'm licensed to hack, and I was minding my own business when a bunch of rogues picked a fight. If anything I was standing my ground against a bunch of no good thugs."

KC smirked "Your arrogance is showing."

Kat huffed "it's not arrogance when I'm right."

Jeremy exhaled "Kat the next time you break into a secret area, give some heads up first." He begged "that way we can avoid trouble."

Kat huffed "fine..." She moaned in annoyance "I'll give some heads up."

Yumi said "why would Guide purposely set a data disc as a target file if a hacker wasn't meant to take it?"

KC exhaled "Guide, why did you do it."

"I was trying to make Xanatos open his eyes a little" Guide replied still seemingly near "but I guess that plan backfired, oh well time for plan B"

Ulrich said "Plan B?"

Guide said "you warriors did your part now it's just up to me to finish the job. Don't worry the darkness will be on your side one way or another" A static sound of logout occurred.

KC said "and now he's gone…"

Jeremy said "is Guide trying to convince Xanatos to join us?"

KC said "I'm not sure. Well anyway, I'll let Kevin know you all completed the level one sites so I'm sure he'll contact you as soon as he knows what the next move until then keep it cool."

Jeremy said "and what about our statuses as white hat hackers."

KC said "Kat has one point against her otherwise everyone else is clear."

Kat said "and how do I correct that?"

KC said "you can't…"

Kat said "what…"

KC said "it's on your profile for about five years then it's erased unless it's serious."

Kat said "uh."

KC said "hey be thankful there no punishment."

Kat said "okay I guess, uh you know I'm going to logout now. I've had enough of the Internet for today." She pulled up a screen. "Logout!" She vanished into bits and disappeared.

Jeremy said "I think we need to get some rest too. Everyone want to logout?"

Yumi said "I think Ulrich and I will logout later."

Ulrich nodded "yeah we got something to do at Google still."

Odd said "I'm going to hang out at Google for a bit myself maybe catch a movie or something.

Jeremy said "alright. You know how to logout so I'll see ya back at school try to be back before curfew"

Ulrich said "got it."

Jeremy said "Liz, Aelita you two ready to logout?"

Liz and Aelita nodded "Ready."

Jeremy said "3 Warriors logout."

Jeremy Aelita and Liz all vanished

KC said "well if you guys need anything you know where the Agency located." He started to walk off.

Ulrich said "Hey Agent. Do you think Xanatos is trustworthy?"

KC stopped and turned to them "If he on your side then yes, otherwise no." He stated evenly

"what should we be on the lookout for to know if he trustworthy or not." Yumi asked

KC hummed "if he adds to your mission giving you another that isn't required normally."

Odd said "like what?"

KC said "There is another way to get access to XANA main Headquarters without going though all of the sites however it's currently sealed off for good reasons by the Agency."

Ulrich said "what does that way consist off."

KC said "Sorry that's classified. Just let me know if something up alright?"

Ulrich said "got it well see ya."

KC nodded "later"

The group left.

KC sighed "I hate to leave them in the dark like that but that all I could say"

"It's the only way Agent" Guide voice sounded "To be able to use the final sequence they all have to believe in themselves and in their allies and to believe in themselves they have to pass the tests I have planned."

KC said "But Kevin barely survived those tests. Do you think the warriors can handle it?"

Guide said "it's their game Agent. If they can't then it's only a matter of time before it's all over."

KC sighed "I hate to be on the sidelines for this."

Guide said "but that's where you are KC and don't be going ruining anything alright."

KC said "yeah yeah." he sighed
