Now it's up to him and his friends to put an end to XANA once and for all. But XANA (Who currently possesses the body of an eccentric government agent) isn't going to make it easy for them. What is XANA planning that will take a year to come full circle? What connection does this government agent have with Lyoko and XANA? More importantly: What is Project Scipio?

It was night. Somewhere In France (Boulogne-Billancourt to be precise), many stories underground, below an abandoned Renault factory, a man was sitting in the center of an immense laboratory, watching a series of videos on a computer screen, they appeared to be some kind of video diaries, made over 30 years ago in the same lab, as the man could tell by the quality and the background. They showed a young boy, roughly around 13 years of age, in a blue sweater and glasses.

"Today, XANA attempted to blow up a nuclear power plant, and reduce the city to a nuclear wasteland; we agreed to tell the authorities about the supercomputer, even though it would end up putting us in trouble, fortunately, the tower was deactivated before any harm could be done. Jeremy Belpois, September 10, 2003."

'Boring' thought the man as he opened the next file.

"XANA appears to be gaining strength; today he had hacked into the communications systems and almost caused a mid-rail collision between two trains, one carrying dangerous chemicals. Luckily, the disaster was averted just in time. Jeremie Belpois, October 1, 2003."

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." He said to himself "Not helping."

"After many months, I've finally have created and perfected the materialization program, Soon, Aelita will be living with us on Earth." The man kept going; he seemed to be getting somewhere. 'Aelita', he thought, 'Franz Hopper's child'.

"XANA has been growing more and more powerful, even to the extent where he can possess humans directly. The cause of this increase in strength is quite simple: The Return to the Past program…" (fast forward motion) 'Getting there, it's just not enough, though' he thought. "Franz Hopper's diaries have been decoded, he seems to mention something called Project Carthage, and how he designed Lyo- He paused the video. 'Franz Hopper', 'Project Carthage', that was all he needed to hear.

After watching the rest of the video diaries, he burnt them onto a disk and placed it in a heavy, white binder. The binder was extremely bulky, look like it could fall apart any minute, and was printed with the words "Xavier, Julien" and "Confidential", and had the seal of the United States Central Intelligence Agency. The man himself was in better shape: He wore a burgundy suit and black tie; he had messy black hair and a beard and he looked like he was in his mid-30s.

Taking the binder with him, he entered the elevator behind him and descended a few more stories to another room, this one was much different, it was practically empty, and in the center was an immense circular structure. He walked towards the structure, and proceeded to pull a small lever on the side, unknown to him, while he was on the computer in the lab, he was being watched, watched by a being within the computer, a being that was thought to have been dead for 30 years. As he pulled the switch, a blast of electricity shot out of the computer and electrocuted the man, he passed out within seconds.

What seemed like hours later, he awoke, but he wasn't him anymore, instead he was consumed by a being that had resided in the computer, which had feigned his own death for three decades. Physically, he was still the same, with one exception: His pale blue eyes had been replaced with an eye-like symbol with four prongs: one skinny one on top, and three wider ones, with the middle being the widest, on the bottom. Noticing the binder he had dropped, he grabbed it and headed towards the elevator. After 30 years, XANA had reawakened.

I know this chapter is kind of slow but it will speed up as it goes along. R&R, but please be nice as this is my first attempt at fanfiction, and this is like the best piece of work I've ever done in general.
