In the fall of 1999, Xyber 9: New Dawn premiered on FOX Kids Saturday morning lineup with a 90-minute (three-part) pilot episode. Over the few months that it aired, X9:ND held a variety of timeslots (it's schedule seemed to change every week). Though only ten episodes were shown in the U.S., Xyber 9 survived past its first season and was quite popular in other countries.
After almost seven years, Xyber 9 has finally returned to television in the States- hopefully, for its full run this time! You can catch it Saturday and Sunday nights on Toon Disney at 10:00 P.M. (Eastern Time).
Origin Part 1: New Acquaintance Summary: Travelling to Gagaal in hopes of finding a weapons master, an orphan named Jack hitches a ride with a military platoon. However, after offending an officer and accidentally blowing up part of the encampment, Jack is forced to flee into the Dark Lands (the vine-tangled ruins of an ancient civilization). While looking for a way out, he falls into an underground cavern and discovers a rare piece of technology called Xyber 9. But a malevolent being named Machestro is also looking for Xyber 9 and he'll do anything to possess it- including killing Jack.
