FC: Hey! It's been awhile, but I'm finally writing another story! Sorry if it doesn't turn out well... I'm not used to writing in POVs.
All five of our little group sat on our favorite bench. The sun was going down, and a cool summer night breeze blew past us. "So, you all stayed here for me?" Aelita asked us. "Why not? And, besides... My parents couldn't come pick us up." Jeremie said, pushing the glasses up his nose. Everyone smiled. "Thank you." Aelita said, staring at the pink/purple sky. Everyone sat in silence, breathing in the fresh summer air. "So...random question?" I said, breaking the silence. "Hm?" Ulrich responded, still looking at the sky. "I wonder..." I cut off. Would now really be the time for that question? Would they get mad at me? "Out with it, Odd..." Yumi said jokingly. I sighed. I always get myself into these messes... "I wonder...what it's like to be possessed by XANA." I looked over at my friends. Jeremie and Aelita had moved an inch closer. Yumi and Ulrich were looking at each other. "What makes you ask that?" Jeremie sighed. "I dunno, but I guess curiosity kills the cat." I laughed at my joke. Everyone else laughed along with me except Yumi. She smiled, but that was it. "It's getting late, guys. You'd better get inside before Jim finds you." She said, standing. Everyone agreed and walked to their respective places.
So there we were, in our room. I was petting Kiwi and thinking. "So, why did you ask that?" Ulrich asked me, sitting up from his position of laying down. "Ulrich, a joke is a joke... I mea- OW!" A sudden pain in my hand stopped me dead. Kiwi had bitten my hand. Ulrich caught that and picked Kiwi up off my bed, putting him in his makeshift bed in the drawer. "Are you ok?" Ulrich asked me. The bite was unusually deep and it was bleeding. "Yeah, I just need to bandage it up." I walked over towards the cabinet and took out some bandages. I wrapped them on the wound. But then... I started feeling dizzy. "Are you sure you're ok?" I walked, though wobbly, over to my bed and fell onto it. "Yeah, I just need some sleep..." I answered. Ulrich made a movement which I guess was him laying down.(I couldn't see him from where I was) After that, everything faded away...
I woke up randomly because of stinging in my hand. I have a habit of sleeping on wounds, don't I? I sighed and rolled over. The sky was illuminating our room, if only a little. Ulrich was gone for some unknown reason. I got up and yawned. The clock said it was about five in the morning. I examined my bite to find the bandages were gone. I shook my head. The cut was gone too. Actually, I didn't feel anything. No dizziness, no pain, nothing. The only thing I felt was my head. A headache...oh goodie. My phone vibrated and I picked up. "Hello?" I said groggily. "Odd! You're finally awake! XANA's launched an attack!" Ulrich was on the other side, and he was talking quickly. "And it's not just one tower, either! It's two!" I stiffened. "Ok, be right there." I pressed the end button. "Two towers..." I shook my head again, getting up. But, something pulled me down to the ground. "Hello, Odd." A female voice greeted me. I turned around, but nothing was there. I got up once more, but my legs were moving on their own! I jumped out of the window and landed on the ground. I then took off with speed in the direction of the factory. 'What's going on here?' I could only think that. "Hehehe... you said it yourself, Kitty. Curiosity killed the cat." The voice said as I got into the factory. 'Who are you?' I thought, considering I couldn't speak. "I... am XANA." My body and mind filled with shock. "XA...N...A..." Was what I got out. "That's right, Kitty. Do what I say and I won't harm you." I walked into the lift and pressed the button. The doors closed and I could hear the lift's controled falling. I tried to relax a bit before I got down to the lab. The door opened in what felt like hours. "So, Einstein. Find out XANA's plan yet?" I said even though I knew what she was doing. She had possessed me... "No, it seems like she's doing a silent attack." I couldn't help smirk. "You'd better get to Lyoko." Jeremie said. I followed his orders and went halfway down the ladder. Then my body stopped working for me and I climbed back up. "Huh? Odd... I told you to go down to the scanners." Jeremie sighed. I raised my right hand a bit, and I gathered energy in it. "Odd?" Jeremie turned and jumped out of the chair before I made contact. "Lucky-lucky." I heard myself say. "Jeremie? What's going on?" Fortunately Jeremie still had the headset on. "I think one of the attacks is a spectre! In the form of Odd!" I felt my body go limp. "Go on, tell him the real attack." XANA's voice said to me. "Je-Jeremie..." I stuttered. He looked at me untrustingly. I couldn't say anymore. "You're too slow, Kitty." I heard myself say. "Hehehe, so nerdy. Wanna know my real attack?" Jeremie stood up. "Hehehe... I'm not gonna tell!" XANA is evil, isn't she? I felt myself jump towards Jeremie and land ontop of him. Somehow that knocked him unconscious. "Weak." XANA said using me. I sat down in the supercomputer chair and started typing away. "Jeremie? What's going on up there?" Ulrich's voice asked. I had set up the virtualization process. I rushed downstairs and hopped into the scanner. A gust of wind later and I was unconscious.
I landed on all fours on the virtual sand of Lyoko. Aelita and the others were fighting to get to the second tower. The one holding me captive. I took off after them automatically. I shot a couple of arrows that hit Yumi and devirtualized her. "Odd!" Ulrich held his sword out to oppose me. I stood up and faced them. "Hello, Lyoko Warriors." I took a false bow. "Are you a spectre?" Ulrich sounded both confused and a hint of worry. "Of course not, silly samurai." I said, smirking. He stepped back. "Ok, XANA, next question. Why take control of the weakest person in our group?" My blood boiled. Somehow something happened. "I AM NOT WEAK!" I yelled out in frustration. "I might not know how to use computers and how to martial arts, but I'm good at somethings!" Ulrich stuck his sword in the ground and leaned on it. "Really? Name one." I stood there... and stood there... "Shut it, samurai." Oops, XANA was back. I shot three arrows at him and devirtualized him. Then, the aura around the tower turned back blue. "Odd? Are you still evil?" Jeremie's voice rang out. "Why yes, nerdy, I am!" My body was running toward the edge of the sector and I ran off the edge. I fell into the digital sea...
-Ulrich's POV-
We all stared in disbelief. Odd had just run right into the digital sea. We couldn't believe it. "How could XANA still have control of Odd when we deactivated the tower?" I asked. "I... have no idea."
A/n: Sorry to cut it off, but I needed a good cliff hanger. Next chapter will start in Ulrich's POV. I'm out!
