Sleep came slowly for Aelita and when it finally fell over her it was restless. Voices swam through her dreams as her head swelled with the events of the last few days. Odd was always there no matter where she was, but he seemed transparent like he wasn't all there. Then suddenly Odd started running away, she called but he didn't stop. Tears started streaming down Aelita's face as she desperately pursued the receding form. "Odd!" She screamed as she sunk to her knees, despair filled her as the blonde teen disappeared into nothingness.
Aelita sat upright gasping for breath, beginning to panic age frantically peered through the darkness. Relief washed over her when her eyes fell on Yumi's sleeping form. Suddenly a spark flew out of a nearby electrical socket followed closely by a dark shadow. "Y-yumi" Aelita stammered as the shadow welled up and slowly took the shape of a human. The Japanese teen rolled over to look at her friend only to find a fully formed Xana straightening his tie. Immediately Yumi sprang in to action by kicking out at the foreboding figure. "Calm down will you" Xana hissed as he grabbed Yumi's leg "I'm not here to fight". "Then what do you want?" Aelita asked suspiciously, Xana released Yumi's leg and turned to Aelita. "I'm leaving this world, our little game is over" Xana said as he ran his hand through his jet black hair. "Why would you give up so easily?" Yumi shot back, still suspicious of her old enemy. "The death of your companion has saddened me" Xana said despite the two girls skeptical faces. "Your a computer, you have no feelings" Yumi spat still not believing what Xana was saying. "That is where you are wrong you pitiful excuse of an organism" Xana growled as he turned to look at Yumi with his intense black eyes. "I have rage, fear, hatred, respect, and compassion to name a few" he hissed vehemently. "How about honor?" Yumi growled holding Xana's piercing gaze. After a few minutes of tense silence Xana backed down, "I didn't come to fight you, just to say goodbye" he said as his form flickered slightly. "For now I bid you farewell" he said before disappearing completely, leaving the two girls alone in the room.
Ulirch sighed and sleepily ran his uninjured hand through his messy brown hair. Beside him Jeremy glanced up from his computer screen to look at the teen beside him. "Didn't get any sleep?" He asked curiously, Ulrich merely nodded as he slowly pushed his food across his plate. Shrugging, Jeremy went back to his computer leaving the two teens in silence. "Our dear friend visited us last night" Yumi said from behind Ulrich making him jump in surprise. "What do you mean, there's no activated towers" Jeremy said launching a scan of Lyoko. "It was Xana himself, he showed up in human form" Yumi said as she sat down beside Ulrich. "What?!" Ulirch exclaimed now fully awake. "He didn't hurt us" Yumi said quickly as she noticed the worried look on Ulrich's face. The German teen sighed in relief and laid his hand on Yumi's. "Then what did he want?" Jeremy asked clearing his throat. Yumi opened her mouth, then closed it as she tried to remember what exactly what happened last night. "He was coming to say goodbye" Yumi said realizing that the enemy they had been fighting for years is finally gone. "It could be a trap, you know to lure us in" Ulrich said skeptical of trusting a diabolical computer programs word. Jeremy slowly shook his head as he typed a few commands into his computer, "he's pulling back to sector five" the blonde teen announced after a short pause. "Are you guys going to eat or chat?" Jim, the schools portly gym teacher, bellowed causing the three teens to jump in surprise. "I've got to get to Biology, see you two during lunch" Yumi announced as she grabbed the white notebook that she put down on the lunch table. "Sounds good to me" Ulrich said as he also left the table leaving Jeremy alone with his computer. "It's finally over" the blonde teen whispered as the last bits of information appeared on his laptop screen.
Snow slowly drifted down from the gray, rolling clouds that hung over France like a massive quilt. Most inhabitants of the city where taking shelter from the weather in their houses, but a certain girl slowly walked down the snow covered road. Aelita carefully picked her way through the snow that filled the road and sidewalk. Suddenly she stopped and looked up at the cemetary gates that loomed over get. Taking a deep breath she stepped through the gates and started walking toward a grave she had visited too many times to count. Reaching a certain snow covered gravestone, Aelita felt sadness creep out of her heart like a bleeding wound. "Xana's leaving, its finally over" she whispered as she slowly sunk to her knees in the snow. Beside her Odd had sat down and was staring into her emerald eyes. "I guess they don't need me anymore" the pink haired teen whispered as she pulled out a small pocket knife she found a few months back. Panic leapt into Odd's heart as he saw Aelita move the blade of the knife to her exposed wrist. "No!" Odd yelled grabbing at Aelita's hand before it was too late. Aelita cried out in surprise as Odd's voice echoed through the empty graveyard, she dropped the knife and slowly looked up into Odd's tear filled eyes. "I-impossible" the pink haired teen gasped in disbelief as she felt Odd's arms wrap around her tightly. The two teens sat in each others arms until Odd broke the silence. "Nothing is impossible" he whispered into Aelita's ear sending shivers down her spine. "But you died, I saw your body" Aelita whimpered as hot tears slowly slid down her cheeks. Odd pulled out of the hug and looked the girl in the eyes, "I'm not saying I didn't" he whispered sadly. "But your here now" Aelita protested desperately causing Odd's features to darken. "I'm not entirely here" he whispered holding up a semi-transparent hand for Aelita to see. Suddenly Odd's form flickered and a look of panic fell over him. "Aelita, you need to move on, keep going with your life" he ordered taking the pink haired teen by the shoulders. "B-but" Aelita started but was stopped by a quick kiss by Odd. "I love you, and I always will" Odd whispered as his form disappeared entirely leaving Aelita alone in the snow.
