AN: I've been thinking... maybe I shouldn't be trying to kill Yumi.. maybe I should focus on Ulrick instead. Yes, that sounds good for the moment. Death to Ulrick! Or maybe not. Read to find out and review with your opinion. As always, read, review, and enjoy!

"Impact!" Ulrick shouted as he took down the first crab. Immediately, the three hornets that had been above the crab swooped down to attack Ulrick. The first two were dispatched by laser arrows, courtesy of Odd, before they even had the chance to fire a laser at Ulrick. The third one, however, took the opportunity to charge and fire a beam. At such a close range, it was impossible for it to miss and Ulrick was down ten more life points.
"Only 90 life points left," Jeremy warned.
"Laser arrow!" Odd cried as he shot another arrow and destroyed the hornet. "Don't worry, Yumi," Odd shouted confidently, "I'll take good care of Ulri - oof!"
While his attention was elsewhere, the monsters had shifted to form a box around the tower and two of the three hornets had targeted Odd, with one of the beams hitting him on the chest.
"One hundred and twenty life points left, Odd," Jeremy announced as Ulrick made quick work of the offending hornets while Odd battled with a crab. Teaming up, Odd distracted the crab while Ulrick jumped from the left side and drove his sword home. The remaining monsters shifted again, now creating a triangle around the tower and completely disproving Jeremy's theory.
"Only five minutes left," Jeremy reminded the warriors.
"We've got to hurry," Ulrick said as he block a laser with his sword. Odd leapt forward and shot a trio of arrows, one of which struck its mark in a crab. The three hornets above the now destroyed crab flew down and circled the boys. While the boys were distracted by the circling hornets, the two remaining crabs fired their lasers at them.
"Look out!" Yumi cried, betraying their hiding spot as she lunged forward to help.
When they sighted the beams, it was too late to react. This time, Ulrick's right arm and Odd's left leg were struck.
"Ulrick, you have 80 life points, and Odd has 110," Jeremy stated.
One of the hornets detached from the group around the boys and headed for Yumi. Yumi blocked it's first laser with her fan. The second beam struck her unguarded right leg, causing her to stumble in her rush to Ulrick's aid.
"Forty life points left, Yumi," Jeremy announced.
