Ulrich kept crying on the platform. He just couldn't stop. All he could do was sit there and cry until after an eternity the tears unwillingly dried up.
He sulking stepped out of the tower and stared at the blank, lifeless desert terrain. "Yumi . . ." he whispered as his eyes welled up with tears he didn't know he had.
"I'm going to de-virtualize you now Ulrich. Class is about to start." Jeremie said, after giving Ulrich a generous amount of time to sulk.
"Fine," Ulrich mumbled, not too thrilled with going to class.

The next thing he knew, he was feeling that unusual sensation of being ripped to pixels and then being put back together again."Let's get this over with." Ulrich, muttered to himself, under his breath.

In class, Ulrich was daydreaming about Yumi. 'Her face . . . that smile . . . Yumi. I tried I-I-I really did, but that wasn't good enough...'
The sudden vibrating of his phone woke him up from that spell.
It read from Yumi.
"Hey Ulrich, what's up?" Odd's clone whispered.
"Nothing and don't tell the others about this. Ok?" Ulrich snapped whispering.
"K." The clone said as it turned to at least pretend to pay attention to Ms. Hertz's lesson.
When Ulrich was sure the clone wasn't eaves dropping, he turned to the text message.

Ulrich, broke free long enough to text e to desert sector ASAP.-Yumi

'I gotta get out of here.' he thought.

"Ms. Hertz. May I go to the infirmary? My stomach hurts." Ulrich asked, moaning a little to play up the fakeness of it.
"Ok, but do you need someone to escort you?" Ms. Hertz then asked.
"No." Ulrich said as he walked out of the classroom, holding his stomach. Half way down the hall he changed his pace and ran off to the factory, careful to avoid Jim on his way.

He got to the computer and tried to remember the process for virtualization deep in his mind. When he tried a couple of things, but each one ended up in an error message. Finally he tried another odd idea. The all clear showed on the screen. "Sweet," he said with a smile. Quickly he set a delayed virtualization for the desert sector. He ran to the scanners and jumped in. He felt the familliar feeling of being torn apart into pixels and being reshaped again.
Ulrich landed calmly on the soft desert sand. He looked around and took in the bleak surroundings.
"I'll get you Yumi!" he whispered with a smile as he took off at a run.

"Where am I?" Yumi asked, looking at her friends. They refused to meet her confused and wandering eyes.
"Crystal? Where am I?"
"Why Yumi. What a pleasure," A.X. said menacingly from somewhere in the shadows. "Now you can go and capture Ulrich for me."
"No I will not!" Yumi yelled at where she thought he was hiding. A.X. came out of his hiding place with a devilish grin.
"You will. You will now do as I command." He said. Yumi's outfit changed from a red and black to gray and black. All of the cheerful combination of black, yellow, and red, was replaced by a dull light gray, regular gray, and black.
With a snap of his fingers, Yumi was gone.
Crystal watched in sadness. That was all her and odd could do. Watch a heartbroken Yumi as she left to seek her closest friend and another best friend who could only sit and watch.

"Yumi! Yumi! Where are you Yumi!?" Ulrich yelled as he supersprinted across the desert sector.
"Over here Ulrich!" Yumi called as she ran over to him. Secretly she drew her fans.
"Yumi! Thank goodness I found you!" Ulrich yelled with relief.
Yumi revealed her fans and threw them at Ulrich.
"Uh oh. Not you too!" Ulrich yelled in shock as he dodged and hit the fans with his now drawn swords.
"Yumi. I don't want to fight you!" Ulrich yelled at her.
"Neither do I, but I have to!" Yumi retorted back at him as her fans came back to her.
She ran right up to Ulrich and swung her fans like wide daggers. Eventually she caught Ulrich's sword and flung it aside. She then took the blunt side of her fans, and smacked him upside the head.
Ulrich fell dazed, seeing stars. Yumi grabbed his sword and picked him up. The two disappeared in black smoke.
The only things left to mark that they were ever there were two little wet spots left from tears. that quickly dried up and disappeared never to be seen again . . . and one of ulrich's swords laying on the ground
