Aelita: Leave them alone, Xana! They don't have anything you want!
Xana-Ulrich: They don't, but you do...
Jeremie's angel seemed to freeze in her tracks. Her eyes seemed to be saying, She's right...
Aelita: I.. I can't surrender. I can't.
Xana-Ulrich: I thought you wanted to save your friends. Isn't that why you went out of hiding and went through so much trouble to get here? (Xana-Ulrich snaps his fingers, the cage shifts closer to the edge)
Aelita: Wait! I'll.. I'll fight you for them! If I win, you must release my friends, leave them and everyone and everything on Earth, whether they be living or not, alone!
Jeremie (off-screen): Aelita.. You wouldn't..
Xana-Ulrich: Really? Even in your current condition you'd be willing to fight me?
William appeared to be very worried. Aelita appeared to be a little surprised at first, but then continued glaring at Xana-Ulrich with daggers in her eyes.
Aelita: Yes, I will. To save my friends, I'll fight you, of any condition!
Jeremie (off-screen): Aelita,don't do it! It's a trap!
Sissi: Wait a minute, what do mean by condition?
Grace: What is this trickery Shadow Woman speaks of? (she clutches her injured wing) Ow!
Aelita: You.. don't know? (Xana-Ulrich laughs)
Hiroki: What's so funny?
Xana-Ulrich: The thing that you clearly don't know!
Odd: Ok, enough of these riddles! Would somebody spill the beans?! First we think Xana's been defeated, surprise, she's still alive! And now we're saying that Aelita has some kind of...
(Xana-Ulrich points his sword towards Odd's neck)
Xana-Ulrich: The only reason that I haven't thrown you into into the Digital Sea is because I find your stupidity mildly interesting.
Odd: Well, I find your blackmailing extremely malevolent.
Xana-Ulrich: Hey, nothing's better than blackmail. Ready Aelita?
Aelita: I.. I'm read..
William: Wait! I volunteer as tribute!
Aelita/Odd: William?
William: I may not know the entirety of your evil plan, but I know what you're trying to do to get there! I can't let you get away with it! At least make the final fight fair!
Xana-Ulrich looked at William as if the no good ghost girl possessing Ulrich was trying to read his mind. William smirked with confidence and Xana-Ulrich wasn't pleased.
Xana-Ulrich: Fine then. (Xana-Ulrich snaps his fingers, creating a black bubble around Aelita, she tries to break free with an energy field, then pounds her fists on the bubble twice) Give it up, Aelita. They can't hear you. (Xana-Ulrich snaps his fingers, William appears out of the cage, Xana leaves Ulrich's body, causing him to faint, and she pushes him aside)
Yumi: Wait! It's dangerous to go alone! Take this! (she uses her telekinesis and lifts the sword into William's hands)
William: Thanks Yumi. (he turns to Xana) Xana, for all that you've done, you will pay.
Xana (to William): You meddling pest. You'll pay for messing with my plans! (she throws a black ball of energy at William, he absorbs the energy with his sword and fires it back at Xana, who dodges it, she tries to fire a ball of yellow light at William's eyes, but he dodges it)
Odd: Well, the war has begun...
Jeremie: And if William loses... The consequences could be devastating.
Grace: I wish I could hear what Aelita is saying... Ugh...
Odd: You can't hear anything in her prison?
Grace: Nothing that I can clearly understand. I hear some muffled shouts and something else..
Xana: Is that all you got, William? (she dodges his Super Smoke, William strikes Xana with his sword, knocking her down, she growls at William)
William: You talk too much, Xana. (they charge towards each other)
