Chapter 4: Xana's Reign
The five words were the five worst words that the group had ever heard and these words were "I'm sorry, Odd is dead." The group was devastated as grief filled the air. Ulrich went up to Yumi and they hugged passionately but not only from love, also from grief. They hugged for a long while choking back tears, but tears still came. One single tear glistened on Ulrich's sad face.
"Why would William do this to us, I thought he was on our side." Ulrich whispered in Yumi's ear gently.
"He was still controlled by Xana, something happened that he never was released from Xana's control." Yumi responded.
A second tear glistened onto the cheek of Ulrich, the boy who had just lost his best friend.
Meanwhile at the Factory
Xana was angry at William for failing him but that was over now because he knew that William was dead now. Even though the screen of the computer was damaged beyond repair the supercomputer was operational. Xana entered a single command and was transferred from the computer, not onto the world wide web as Jeremy had feared, but to somewhere worse, materialization. Xana came up as a 13 year old girl, a new student coming to Kadic.
The next day after much grief, the team thought that they had to deal with Xana but when Jeremy checked the program he was running it had already searched the entire web three times, and nothing. Jeremy checked the supercomputer's activity and Xana had simply disappeared, as if he had been destroyed. Xana was good, and the group took the trap.
It was time to meet the new girl, Georgia Panic, she had just enrolled two days earlier and was already there at the school. The symbol of Xana flashed briefly in her eyes as Jeremy looked at her for the first time but he did not notice it. The new girl was friendly and she got close to the group quick, too quick for them to have any suspicion. This girl found out everything about the group, what dorm each of the group was in, now all having their own dorms, and for Yumi, where she lived.
It was a dark night, four days after the group had met Georgia. Georgia was outside of Yumi's house, getting ready to climb up to her window. Her eyes flashed with Xana's symbol, and this time it stayed there. Georgia jumped into Yumi's room and was about to strike her dead, but Yumi heard her and jumped out of her bed and kicked Georgia in the face. Georgia went tumbling out of the window and Yumi followed, landing on her feet square on Georgia's chest. Yumi kicked her hard on the side of the head and knocked her out. Yumi decided to call the group.
"Jeremy, Georgia is possessed by Xana, I just knocked her out I need you to get to my house right now. Call Aelita, I'll call Ulrich." Yumi said and hung up before Jeremy could respond and told Ulrich the same thing.
After five minutes Georgia woke up, but now she had learned Yumi's tricks this would be harder. Yumi sent a kick toward Georgia's head but she ducked and took Yumi down, but that wouldn't be enough, Yumi got right back up and kept on fighting. Yumi sent a kick into the side of Georgia's leg and she went down before she could hit Yumi with the punch. Yumi grabbed onto Georgia's arm and flipped her into a tree, and the rest of the gang turned and came into the room.
Yumi had blood dripping from the side of her lip and a gash on her left arm.
"She's not possessed, or should I say he isn't possessed, Georgia is Xana." Yumi explained hurriedly.
"Then kill her now." Ulrich said, and Jeremy and Aelita nodded in agreement.
Yumi Delivered one final blow into Xana's temple and he just floated into a billion small black particles that disappeared in the moonlight. The group went into Yumi's house and she cleaned up, and at this point only Ulrich and Yumi were still there, and there was no more blood on Yumi. They went for a walk in the forest. They were walking along and it was peaceful, an Xana was defeated at last. Behind them in the tree cover was a shadow of William, a Xana of William.
