" ...Ulrich?...Ulrich?...ULRICH!" Yumi screamed into the phone, tears starting to run down the sides of her face.
Odd knelt down beside Yumi and placed a hand on her shoulder. " Hey, Yumi, we need to go to Lyoko. Ulrich is counting on use. You never know, if work get the job done fast enough then we might be able to save him." Odd gave a hopeful smile to the hope lost Yumi. She could only nod her head as the fighters walked to the elevator. As they reached the scanner room each person headed to they individual scanner and waited to be virtualized.
" Scanner Odd, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Aelita." Jeremy said as he typed in the proper codes into the computer. " Virtualization."
The fighters landed in the ice region of Lyoko with much easy. " Hey Jer, where the tower?" Odd asked as he looked around his surrounding.
" The Tower is quite a ways to the north. No fear, for I'm already programming in you vehicles." Jeremy answered with a relaxed voice. " Plus I don't see I single monster on the field. Xana must have sent them all to take us out here in the real world, but be careful, just incase."
" Don't worry Einstein, we'll keep Aelita safe. Hmmmm to the north, well as long as were not playing Macro Polo with the tower, this should go smoothly." Odd casually remarked as he hopped on his Over-board as Yumi and Aelita shared the Over-wing. As if on queue, Xana's monsters came out of hiding right when they got half way to the tower.
"Hey Jeremy, I thought you said that there wasn't any monsters." Odd complained about his new guests which obviously did not take a liking to him.
" They just appeared on my radar now, I don't know where they came from, but fight them off and get to the tower. Every minute you waste is another minute that Ulrich could be killed." Jeremy said insisting that they picked up there pace.
'Every minute you waste is another minute that Ulrich could be killed.' Those words echoed through Yumi's mind as she prepared herself for the battle. " Jeremy!...Aelita knows how to use Odd's Over-board right?" Yumi questioned.
" Yes, I believe so." Jeremy said with a slight hint of confusion in his voice.
" Great!.. Aelita you use Odd's vehicle while Odd shares mine." Yumi said while tossing a fan at a hornet, but missing. Aelita and Odd quickly exchanged positions.
" Care to share your plan there Yumi?" Odd questioned while shoot wildly at as many hornets as he could. To his surprise he actually hit two of them.
" Yup, Aelita head for the tower as quickly as possible, do NOT stop for any reason what so ever. Odd your going to be like my tale-turret, shoot down anything that follows us." Yumi explain while preparing for the race of there lives, well it was more like for Ulrich's life.
" I read ya loud and clear." Odd said still firing at the hornets. " Seeing as though there only hornets, this should be easy, there my specialty."
The three Raced off with the Hornets in close pursuit 'I hope that we make it in time, hold on Ulrich we're almost there.' Yumi thought as lasers passed by them.
- In the real world-
The immense blast from the group of roaches outside his door caused it to bust into pieces. One of the pieces unfortunately hit Ulrich left hand and caused him to drop his cell phone. Of course, Ulrich wasn't worried about his phone, his life was more important. He fired a few shots and the roaches causing some of them to explode on impact but there were to many of them and he was going to be overwhelmed if he did not think of something quick. While running out of options Ulrich decided on his only choice of survival, he had to jump. Ulrich wasted not time as he plowed himself out of his closed window, breaking the glass of course and falling down a floor. (A/N Ulrich's room is on the second story of the boys dorm.)
Ulrich landed on the left side of his body with a loud thud and with a siring pain in his left arm. He tried to move it but his arm would not respond with anything other than pain. " Damn it, must of broke it." he said to himself. Being out of the building Ulrich could see what he was up against more clearly. " Hmmmm, ok, there's four, no, five blocks, three crabs and who knows how many roaches are left." Ulrich muttered as he counted his opponents from behind a bush outside his window. 'Well, no one lives forever.' he thought has he ran across the open school yard to the vending machine area while shoot down as many enemies as he could. " Ok Ulrich, I think you got one crab and two block on the run, but..." Ulrich's recap was interrupted by a barrage of lasers that was slowly but steadily ripping down the concrete wall that shielded him at the current time.
'Were to go? Were to go?' Ulrich hastily thought for in every moment could be his last. ' Ummm, into the school...no, I can't keep jumping out windows all day. How about the forest, Yes! The forest, the supplies sufficient cover and I know the place inside out'. There was a pause in the fire from Xana's minions as if to try and confirm weather or not there target was eliminated. Ulrich was about to use this silence to make his run for the forest but was suddenly struck by a dizzy spell. It was at this time that Ulrich had realized that his shirt was extra clingy to him today had when he look down at his attire to find the problem he was struck with a sudden wave of terror and his shirt was now drench and stained with his blood. Upon further investigation he found the source of his blood loss, glass, glass shards had pieced his skin deeply causing him to lose massive amounts of blood.
'I'm going to die. There's no way out of this one Ulrich old buddy. Looks like we get to go down in the blaze of glory. I just hope that the others will be able to defeat Xana and I hope that Yumi finds someone that...' Ulrich paused at his sudden thought. ' Wait, Yumi, no I can't die here I won't. I won't let her live life alone or in the hands of William for that matter.'. Ulrich felt his adrenaline start to kick in as his mind began to focus and his body numbing his pain. It was now or never for Ulrich. If he did not run now he would never get another chance.
Ulrich quickly whipped around the corner of the entrance firing wildly at his now caught off guard enemies. Thanks to his little scare tactic, Ulrich was able to pluck off another two blocks and a couple of roaches, leaving in his dust a three confused crabs, one irritated block, and at least ten roaches. With his sudden burst of energy he was able to make it to the forest without being shot by a single laser. Unfortunately for him, his energy was leaving him and his body was beginning to shake while his skin became two shades lighter.
While Ulrich's health declined so did his senses for he was unable to notice the black mist that was making its way around him before it was to late. The mist quickly jammed itself down Ulrich's throat and into his lungs were it was then absorbed into his blood stream and in a matter of seconds it was in the mother of all of Ulrich's nerves, the brain. Ulrich feel to his knees as a pain that could only be described by his blood cuddling screams in anguish spread threw out his body. He could slowly feel his copiousness slipping as the rest of his body made contact with the ground, and soon he saw only darkness.
-Lyoko-
Yumi and Odd have made there way to the tower, the only problem is that this thing is guarded like a freaking fortress. It seemed as though every minion that they disposed off was quickly, if not instantly, replaced with one of equal or greater value. " Great, we cant keep this up all day there Einstein." Odd said as he continued to fire his wrist arrows at the never ending troops.
" I don't know what to do guys. Wait! If a straight on assault isn't working then maybe we need to be a little less direct, or maybe a little more." Jeremy said with a grin on his face.
" Ok, that's it, I'm officially confused." Odd said while rubbing his head.
" I think I know what Jeremy is talking about." Aelita stated while she started to concentrate deeply. In a matter of seconds the group of lyoko fighters were incased in a dome of virtual rock with a person sized opening facing the tower.
" Good job Aelita!" Jeremy exclaimed. " Now Yumi, Used your telekinesis to lift the dorm slightly and start moving towards the tower. Odd, stand in front of the doorway and shoot anything that threatens to enter the dome until your right up against the tower then make way for Aelita so that she can deactivate the tower."
" Alright Jeremy, the man with the plan!" Odd yelled while pumping his fist into the air while taking his position.
" Right Jeremy, don't worry we'll get to the tower and save Ulrich." Yumi stated while beginning to concentrate on lifting the dome. In a matter of seconds the gang found there way to the tower with great ease. Odd destroyed anything and everything that he saw make its way to the entrance. Yumi, without having the stress of battling on her shoulders was able to fully concentrate on the dome each help her keep her energy up. Aelita took her queue and ran straight into the tower. Not an enemy laid a finger or any type of appendage on her.
" Alright Jeremy I'm in the tower." Aelita stated.
" Good job Aelita, now deactivate it so I can run the return to the past and we can check up on Ulrich." Jeremy replied.
" Ok." Aelita simply answered as she made her way to the top of the tower. She placed her hand on the screen in front or her. The screen recognized her as Aelita and began the deactivation process. " There Jeremy, tower deactivated."
" Great, return to the past now." Jeremy said in relief has to commenced the program releasing the bright light.
