Episode 5: A Google of ways to save the Internet.

Diary of Jeremy Belpois November 9th

About two weeks has passed since our purification of Site 13 and the complete liberation of the first level sites. During that time various members of the group visited the Internet at various times doing various things in appeal to their idea of fun. Kat would visit Clip's Arcade whenever she felt like it, which seemed to be almost every day in the afternoon hours, Ulrich and Yumi went on a date in Google and saved a lot in terms of both money and time. Liz even accessed it once when she heard from Qué about a massive library that contained everything she could possibly need information on and spent several hours over one of the weekends to do general research. Odd would visit for fun and games as well and when he was hungry for something in particular and didn't feel like ordering it in the real world when the virtual world was accessible and had everything he wanted including crab cakes with tartar sauce. Aelita would sometimes go with Kat to the Arcade and other times she just felt like traveling around Google. For us everything was peaceful however, we had no idea how much the Internet and the real world would be shaken up with an attack on Google.

Hey Jeremy before you get to the attack I like to reveal a scene or two that happened before this entry was created. It reveals a few things that our readers need to know that you don't directly know yet. I'll start with what happened seemingly during the night after you all completed Site 13. This is in the viewpoint of Xanatos

Xanatos walked into his Father Office. His Father was talking to Chaos and Takara and was holding onto a rulebreaker card.

Chaos smirked and said, "That card holds the memories of William's and Aelita's home."

Xanatos said, "It's just a card what good is that?"

Takara said, "With a little help from Harmony, you'll have all the real William's memories. Maybe we can get her to make you forget you're nothing but a fake. In other words, we'll remake your heart so you can be exactly the same as the real William, kay?

Xanatos gasped and said "You want to remake my heart?! The real William is a wimp who's afraid of the dark! What do I want with the heart of a loser?!"

Takara turned to XANA "Any objections, XANA? After all, you do want to delete Aelita, don't you?"

XANA nodded slightly "It must be done." He stated

Xanatos stared at his father in shock "How can you? Are you betraying me?!"

XANA grinned at him evilly, "I told you I would make good use of you, my Son."

Xanatos stepped back slightly "No,"

Takara said "Relax, kiddo. I don't think it's going to hurt that much!"

Xanatos growled, summoned the Soul Eater and said "I'll hurt YOU!" He charged at the Takara

All of a sudden Takara slammed him with her Gunblade covered in electricity making Xanatos cry out and sent him flying, crashing to the ground soon after.

Takara laughed "Stupid little boy, Think you could defeat me? Where would you ever get a thought like that?"

Xanatos tried to get up, but couldn't as most of his muscles just weren't working. The attack had left him with a paralyzed status condition.

Takara slowly walked toward him "But, look on the bright side." She said "Along with everything else in your head, Harmony will erase the memory of me knocking you flat. Instead, she will implant the loveliest little memories you could ever hope for! It's no big deal if they're all lies."

Xanatos said "No..."

Takara walk up to him with a malicious look.

"NOOO!" Xanatos shouted

Xanatos woke up in bed and bolted into a sitting position screaming the no. He was gasping for breath, sweating and very upset. He looked around then said "huh?"

"Santos?" a female voice said as a hand touched him lightly.

Xanatos nearly jumped out of his skin in fear. He jumped out of the bed and got very defensive by pulling out his Soul Eater from a nearby holder and holding it in an attacking stance, dark energy surged slightly as he was ready to do a charged attack with his sword.

Terra was in the bed wearing some causal sleepwear of a long purple gown. She recoiled in shock "Santos what's wrong."

Xanatos blinked as he recognizes her. "Terra?" He said in confusion

Terra looked at him worry etched on her face "Santos are you okay?" She asked "You look like you're scared witless."

Xanatos blinked "uh…" He let the energy dissipate and put away his sword. "it's nothing," He muttered "just a bad dream."

Terra said "I'll say. You were twitching something fierce just before you woke up screaming. What happened?"

Xanatos climbed back into the bed "you remember the disc that Phantom gave me."

Terra came close to comfort him slightly and said "with all those cutscenes from that Kingdom Hearts game the one's with that Replica?

Xanatos said "yeah, I just relived one of those scenes. I saw my father openly betray me the same way that replica's creator betrayed him. That Takara girl was there as one of the characters along with another that I didn't recognize replacing the other"

Terra said "oh my…"

Xanatos said "I think I know what that dream trying to suggest but I don't believe it. My Father would never use me like that"

Terra said "I know he won't, XANA loves you Santos but… you have said he's been acting weird recently and you know what that could mean."

Xanatos said "yeah and if he's in play now that's trouble, major trouble."

Terra nodded "and from what you heard he'll use anything he has against them including you."

Xanatos growled slightly "yeah he would betray me."

Terra said "and if you would have just collapsed at Site 9 you could have been deleted when it almost shattered."

Xanatos said "yeah as it was I was almost deleted but thanks to that life insurance I paid for from Dr. Norton I was restored."

Terra said "I would hate to think what would have happened if you didn't have that insurance. I know the feeling of having no insurance and being on the brink of deletion."

Xanatos said "you do."

Terra said "did Lyle ever tell you about our previous life before we came to the Internet."

Xanatos said "he mentioned how you worked for a criminal organization within a world that a MCP was running. He said you both quit because the MCP almost deleted you

Terra nodded "he infected me with a powerful virus that drains the very energy right out of you only giving you about a month to live making you very sick as well. He had the antivirus but wouldn't give it until Lyle completed a mission to capture a certain Agent that was a thorn in the MCP's side."

Xanatos grimaced "uh, you know all about betrayal don't you?"

Terra hummed in agreement "yes," She replied "if it wasn't for Agent KC, I would have been deleted."

Xanatos said "why did he save you?"

Terra said "well see we captured a friend of his to lure him to another area and then Lyle engaged him in a life and death battle. Meanwhile the friend noticed how sick I was looking and asked what was wrong. At first I didn't want to tell him because we were enemies but he was just so concerned and wanted to do something to help that I ended up telling. Afterwards he said if I could get Lyle to stop, he could get Agent KC to stop and reveal the real reason Lyle was fighting the Agent. We did and the Agent faked a capture so that we could get a cure then his friend busted him out and we logged out of the system and got into protective custody of the Agency. I only had a few days remaining."

Xanatos said "whoa."

Terra said "if you really think he's going to betray you, get out before it too late."

Xanatos exhaled then looked back at Terra "I think I'll sleep on it, sorry for disturbing you Terra."

Terra smiled slightly and said "it's okay. You're not the only one who had nightmares." She hugged him "just know that I care about you okay?"

Xanatos took the hug and smiled slightly as he returned it "Thanks Terra."

The second scene comes from about 24 hours ago or in other words yesterday late afternoon

In Clip's Arcade, A girl in a white mage's dress and hood entered in a timid manner and looked around seemingly searching for someone.

"can I help you?" Crystal said as she approached the girl

The girl gasped slightly in fright

Crystal said "I'm sorry did I surprise you."

The girl exhaled "no I'm just jumpy, I need to find the owner of this arcade."

Crystal said "My dad the owner I'll get him. What's the problem?"

"Just tell him I need his help" The girl stated fastly

Crystal blinked slightly "Okay," She turned and headed to her Dad's office

A few minutes later Clip came out with Crystal "Howdy Miss," He greeted "I'm Clip owner of this Arcade what can I do for you?"

The girl hummed "Mr. Clip, uh are you friends with Agent KC?"

Clip nodded "We used to be colleagues." He answered "and he and I still met up from time to time so yes I do consider him a friend."

The girl pulled out a message in an envelope and said "I need to get a message to him, quickly."

Clip hummed slightly in confusion "Usually if you stop by the Agency they can…"

"I can't go to the Agency…" The girl interrupted in a quick panicked tone.

Clip blinked and said "why not?"

The girl handed the message to Clip "please just give him this message." She begged

Clip hummed as he nodded "I'll do that Miss." He replied "but you know if there something wrong and you need a place to escape to. My door is open. No one dare cause a fight in my place. You are safe here"

The girl hummed "Thank you," She replied "but I got to hurry back before…" Her voice trailed off as she felt something with her and her entire body just surged sending a wave of pixels from her feet upward though her body as something seemed to trigger within her

Clip noticed her shift and said "Miss, is everything alright?"

The girl started to panic. "oh no…" She started "it's starting, I got to…" Her arm started glowing with white energy. "Clear the way!" She shouted as turned and pointed her arm out the door and a powerful burst of energy shot out of her hand causing an explosion on a building on the another side of the street doing some damage to the building but the attack also sent her flying in a recoil into a DDR machine which knocked her out. Her hood fell off revealing it was Harmony of the Lyokoians

The call and the attack drew the attention of everyone in the arcade and the local street as the sudden wild shot caused an alert to go though the area.

Clip grunted in surprise "Miss!" He called as he ran over to Harmony and did a quick medical check. "Hey Crystal get me my medic kit from the back!"

"Got it" Crystal stated quickly as she ran back to her dad's office

A program in a western sheriff style outfit came running in "Hey Clip everything alright? I got a report saying we had an attack that came from your place."

"uh yeah, just a freak accident with this girl." Clip stated "I'll take care of it Sheriff. I got a medic kit"

Sheriff looked at Harmony and scanned her and an alert came up of corrupted data "you sure she doesn't need a doctor? Scan says she got corrupted data."

Clip hummed as he nodded "She might." He replied "but I think she's trying to keep her profile low. If you would pass this on to Agent KC." He handed off the message that Harmony gave him. "It appears she can't go to the Agency and I think I know why."

Sheriff hummed and said, "She's on the alert list?"

"I'm not sure." Clip replied as Crystal ran in with a medic bag "KC told me to be on the lookout for out of place people looking like final fantasy warriors and this girl seems to be one of them." Clip started rummage through the bag to find something and found a medical scanner and started to scan Harmory's data

Sheriff looked at Harmony in disbelief "She's a warrior?" He asked

"look at her dress." Clip replied as he continued to scan harmory "it's the same dress as a White Mage of that game series and White Mages do have a few damaging attacks even though they are mostly used for healing and defense and I think that blast was one of the them." He looked over the results of the scan and said "I think the corruption you're detecting is that she can't control her abilities. Her program is locked in a battle sequence and everyone around her is a target for attacks"

Sheriff grunted "Then before she comes too we need to sedate her and get her to the hospital if the corruption is that extensive she's a risk to everyone around her and herself"

Clip hummed as he continued to read over the data and found the way to cure it and said "Not exactly she just needs a data boost." He pulled out a hypo and pushed it against Harmony's neck and a hiss occurred as the medicine was injected.

"oh…" Harmony moaned as she came too. "what?" She blinked as she looked around then turned scared as there was too many people looking at her

Clip noticed her fear and said "Easy Miss, you're okay,"

Sherriff said "okay everyone back up give her some space."

The crowd backed away

Harmony hummed becoming very timid "where am I?" she asked seemingly having no memory of what happened

Clip said "You are in Google, you had an accident. Don't worry you're alright for now but we need to get you to the hospital."

Harmory gasped as she sat up "No, I can't go there." She stated

Clip said "but Miss, if you don't get to the hospital soon, you'll have another accident."

"I can't" She looked around "I have to get out of here. I've been away too long…"

Sheriff said "Who are you?"

"System Command, LOGOUT!" Harmony said as she vanished into bits

Both Clip and Sheriff just stared

Clip hummed as he turned suspicious and said "Hey uh Sheriff let me have that letter back."

Sheriff handed Clip the letter.

Clip opened it and read it and then turned focused. "oh boy," He stated

Sheriff said "What's wrong?"

Clip folded up the letter "Sheriff, call the Agency, and put this site on yellow alert. This site has been forewarned to an attack by the group known as the Lyokoians."

Sheriff grunted, "An attack? When and where."

"The core within 24 hours," Clip replied "If they plan to take over the site they have to take the core."

Sheriff hummed as he nodded "Right, I'll call KC and Kevin. Both said before we officially activate the new security system they came up with to notify them so that they can be around in case anything goes wrong."

Clip looked at Sheriff "how does the security system check out."

Sheriff hummed as he shrugged his shoulders "by normal standards, nothing's different, a few enhancements to the code here and there, a bit of fine-tuning, nothing more. I think both of them are just being cautious."

Clip hummed in suspicion "it's responds to normal intruders, right?"

Sheriff nodded "yeah, but its non-normal intruders that I'm worried about. You know the site didn't even register a log in of that girl not even an encrypted one."

Clip said "really?"

Sheriff said "either she knows how to sneak into sites or the system can't pick up her code. If it wasn't for that attack we wouldn't have known about her."

Clip hummed "and I think that's what the Lyokoians are betting on they can get in and out without detection, like viruses."

Sheriff hummed "then maybe we need a few viruses on our side as well to even up the odds. I'll have Kevin rouse up the M-group and get them in here"

Clip nodded "Yeah hmm."

Anyway that's all I needed to play down players so uh good luck on this next part of the mission
