you'll miss out on the excitement of it all.
Hehehe......Sugar!!!!!! Dr. Pepper!!!!!!!!

Ulrich and Emily engaging in the biggest game of tonsil hockey the
northeastern hemisphere had ever seen. Yumi looked on in shock as
Ulrich and Emily ended their kissing fest. Yumi turned sharply on
her heel and ran to the park as fast as her legs could carry her.
Emily turned to Ulrich, confusion in her eyes. Ulrich gave her an
apologetic smile and ran after Yumi. He finally caught up to her
in a clearing not far from the manhole passage. He grabbed her
shoulder and whipped her around to face him. She tried to push him
away, but he held her firmly by the arms. He looked around for
anyone else, then turned back to her.

"Finally." He said in a sinisterly cold voice, clenching and
raising his fist.

"You're mine."

Meanwhile, Odd walked into the factory just as Jeremie and Aelita
finished the Kiki's program for Lyoko.

"Hey Jeremie, how's it coming?" The blonde haired boy turned to
the other.

"Just about done. I was gonna test it out to see if it would work
now." A smile came across Odd's face.

"Okay, let's see it!"

"Okay, down boy." Jeremie said as he hit the enter button to start
it up. Aelita watched from another screen as Kiki's character came
into view. She wore a long white skirt with a slit up the side.
Just enough to be able to run effectively, but not enough to be
too revealing. She had on a royal blue sleeveless shirt with a
white vest over that. Her hair was placed behind her ears and held
it there with an equally blue hair clip. Her feet were clad in
white boots that came up to her mid shin. Odd just about fell to
his knees when he saw her.

"Wow. She's beautiful." Odd said dreamily. Jeremie rolled his eyes.

"Yes, it works. C'mon Romeo, listen up. Her weapons consist of a
shield that is not only light weight, but extremely strong, and
ten daggers that can be thrown and retrieved by calling them back
to her."

"Wow, beautiful, but deadly."

"Speaking of her, where's Kiki?" Aelita asked looking around
through the computer screen.

"Oh, she went to her dorm. She has to e-mail her parents."

"Oh."

"You think she'll be surprised?" Jeremie asked Odd, whose mouth
dropped clear to the floor.

"Are you kidding?! She's gonna be amazed."

Back in the park, Yumi sailed across the grass, landing hard on
her hurt arm. She ignored the pain, wiped away the trickle of
blood that was starting to come from her mouth, and stared at
Ulrich in shock.

"Ulrich, what are you doing? Have you lost it, huh?" Ulrich smiled
cruelly and walked up to her. He grabbed her good arm and picked
her up to her feet. He didn't wait, though, and slugged her hard
in the stomach. Yumi doubled over and fell to her knees, coughing
as she went. Ulrich took advantage and kicked her in the back.
Ulrich waited for her, folding his arms across his chest and
laughing coldly. Yumi found her balance and stood up, getting into
a fighting stance. Ulrich saw this and got into his own stance.
Ulrich made the first move and jumped up in the air towards Yumi.
It only took a split second for Ulrich to let fly a punch, but
Yumi saw this and blocked with both arms. She jumped back, then
pushed out towards him, landing a side punch to the head. This
sent Ulrich flying into a tree head first.

"Ulrich!" Yumi said running towards him. Even though he wasn't
himself, she thought, she still loved him. Ulrich quickly
recovered however, and countered with a well placed kick to the
face. Once the kick was placed, Ulrich caught Yumi's leg and swung
her around and threw her up in the air. As she dropped down,
Ulrich readied for his favorite soccer move. He turned so his back
was facing Yumi, then when she was in the perfect position; Ulrich
flipped backwards and kicked her as hard as he could. She was sent
flying into the tops of the trees. A few seconds later, Yumi's
muffled grunts could be heard as she hit the branches, too weak to
grab on to one. She hit the ground hard, another cry escaping her
lips. Ulrich walked up to her, sinister looks planted all over his
face. Yumi looked up at him weakly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Ulrich?" Ulrich walked away, completely ignoring Yumi's faint
calls. As he disappeared towards the school, Yumi wearily pulled
out her cell phone and called Odd.

"Yumi? What's up?"

"Odd." She said weakly. Odd took notice of the tone, knowing
immediately that something was wrong.

"Where are you?"

"In. in the park."

"Hold on. I'll call Kiki and get her to meet you there."

"Okay, but hurry. I don't know if he'll come back." Odd's eyebrows
furrowed immediately.

"Don't worry. We'll be there as soon as we can." Odd hung up with
Yumi and called Kiki.

"Hello? Oh hi Odd."

"Kiki, we have an emergency. Yumi's in the park, and it sounds
like she's hurt. Get there as soon as you can. Me and Jeremy will
meet you there. And Kiki?"

"Yeah?"

"Be careful."

"I will Odd." She hung up her cell, turned the computer off, and
ran to find Yumi. Meanwhile, Yumi got up to her feet and started
to make her way to the school. Her arm was killing her, and it
felt like some of her ribs were broken, but she was able to make
it halfway to the end of the woods. There, she tripped over a
small but well placed rock and fell to her hands and knees. She
crawled over to a nearby tree and pulled her self up clumsily. She
looked towards the sky, as if asking it why this was happening.
The next thing she heard was Kiki calling her name, trying to find
her. Yumi looked to where the sound was coming from and answered
the call.

"Kiki, over here." She called out weakly. Kiki heard the faint
voice and followed it to where Yumi stood leaning on the tree.
Yumi saw Kiki running to her, smirked and laughed a bit, then let
weakness bring her to her knees. Kiki caught her just as the rest
of Yumi was falling to the ground.

"Hey Yumi. How're you feeling?"

"Like I was run over by a train. I think some of my ribs are
broken, and my head is killing me." She said as Kiki wrapped one
arm around her torso and placed Yumi's arm over her shoulder. She
picked her up and headed to the school, using her free hand to
call Odd.

"Hey Odd, I've got Yumi. I'm heading for the infirmary... yeah, I'll
be careful... no I don't know who did this, but I'll tell you when I
find out... Yumi's kinda tired right now, so I'm just gonna let her
rest for now. We'll find out all of that after she's been treated
at the infirmary... okay, love you too... bye." She said hanging up
her phone. She turned her attention back to Yumi, who started to
cry silently to herself.

"You okay, Yumi? Wanna tell me something?" Yumi looked at Kiki,
then looked at the ground, tears flowing freely still.

"Ulrich."

"What about him?"

"He... he... did...this..."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!"

"Yeah, I... I saw him... kissing Emily, then I ran. He followed...
turned me around to face him... then... he attacked me." Yumi said,
the last part falling into the wind. Yumi let out a few sobs,
struggling to keep her composure. Kiki tried her best to comfort
her on that, but was cut short when they reached the school
grounds. Kiki kicked the bars of the double doors that led to the
nurse's office and entered in, calling out the nurse as she went.
Dorothy opened her door and peered into the hallway, and gasped at
who Kiki was holding. Dorothy ran up to them, eyes wide in shock.

"What happened?"

"She was mugged by some guy. She called me on her cell and I met
her there. She said she might have broken some ribs and her head
was hit in the attack. There are also a number of bruises all on
her back and legs." Kiki explained as she helped Yumi to a bed.
Yumi sat down clumsily, holding her side and groaning slightly.
The nurse went to her supply cabinet and grabbed some black
stretchy soft stuff and flexible tape. She also picked up some
more gauze, peroxide, iodine scrubbing pads, ointment, and more
restricting tape, along with some gloves and cold compresses. She
handed the compresses to Yumi for her head, then moved to her arm.
She put on the gloves and took off what was left of the bandage on
her arm. Next, she took the coarse iodine pads and took hold of
Yumi's arm.

"Dear, would you help me? This will hurt for Yumi, but I need to
do this so the infection will stay out." Kiki nodded and went over
to Yumi, while Yumi went cold. She put two and two together and
realized exactly what that iodine pad was for. She snapped back to
attention when Dorothy spoke again.

"Okay, now, I need you to help keep Yumi still, just in case she
tries to move away."

"Yes ma'm." She said placing one hand on Yumi's other shoulder.
Dorothy took the pad, placed it against Yumi's wound, and started
scrubbing hard. Yumi let out a yelp of pain and tried to move
away, but Kiki held Yumi to her place by grabbing both shoulders
and blocking Yumi's escape route by sitting next to her. Yumi
gritted her teeth and looked away from her arm, hoping Dorothy
would be done soon.

"Yumi, I know it hurts, but the only way to make sure it won't get
an infection is to make it bleed well. Don't worry, I'm almost
done." She said as she continued scrubbing. Yumi winced and hissed
every now and then, until Dorothy was finally done. Yumi looked at
her arm, eyes getting wide. The wound on her arm was bleeding
profusely, bright red with pink around the edges. Dorothy then
took a big piece of gauze and placed it over the wound. The gauze
almost immediately became red with Yumi's blood, and Dorothy
quickly switched to another piece of gauze. After she told Yumi to
hold that there, the nurse uncapped the bottle of peroxide. She
instructed Yumi to take off the gauze, then poured the peroxide
over the open wound. Yumi winced as the peroxide went to work,
turning white as it killed germs. Dorothy cleaned the liquid off
Yumi's arm and put some ointment on her arm. She then placed
another piece of gauze over that and took out the black stretchy
stuff.

"What's that?" Asked Yumi.

"It's called pre-wrap. You put it on before you tape someone up;
other wise, the tape will take off skin when it comes off." Yumi
mouthed an oh, and the nurse proceeded to wrap Yumi's arm in the
pre-wrap. She then took the stretchy tape and put that over the
pre-wrap; after that, she placed the restricting tape over that.

"Okay, your arm's done. Now, for those ribs. You're going to have
to take off your shirt so I can create a support for those ribs,
other wise, you'll be in more pain than you are now. Yumi nodded
and slipped her arms out of her sleeves, keeping the shirt over
her to where it still hid what was supposed to be hidden.

"You'll need to raise your arms out to the side. Not only does it
make it easier for me to tape you up, it also will help you to
where you can still move around quite well." Yumi nodded again and
tried to lift her arms out to the side, but to no avail. Her
muscles were sore and bruised from her fight with Ulrich, and it
felt horrible to try and lift her arms. Dorothy turned to Kiki.

"Will you help her, dear? Just hold her arms out to the side."
Kiki nodded and sat behind Yumi, picking her arms up and holding
them out to either side of her. Dorothy then went to work wrapping
pre-wrap over Yumi's torso. She then wrapped the covered are in
stretchy tape and finished it off with a bit of restricting tape
at the edges and ending point of the stretchy tape. After she was
done, Yumi was given some pain killers and told to rest. Kiki
stood up and pulled up a chair as Yumi lay down on the bed.

"Kiki, have you talked to Odd lately?"

"No, I told him I'd call when you were treated here. Hold on, I'll
do that now." She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Odd's
number. Odd answered breathing hard.

"Odd? Hey, Yumi's just been fully treated... yeah, she looks okay.
Where are you? The park? Okay, see you in a minute." Kiki flipped
her phone shut and turned back to Yumi.

"Jeremie and Odd will be here in a few minutes. They were running
over here after they finished hooking up the program for my Lyoko
character."

"Oh, that's what they were doing? I wonder how you'll look on
Lyoko." Her thoughts were cut short, however, when a faint bang
could be heard from the entrance to the office. Kiki looked out to
see Odd and Jeremie running to the room she and Yumi were in. She
turned to Yumi, mouthed an 'I'll be back', and stepped outside to
talk with them. Yumi took the opportunity and rested her head on
the pillow, closing her eyes for a minute. Outside the room, Kiki
proceeded to tell them all that she got from Yumi, not leaving out
anything. When she was finished, Odd and Jeremie were stunned.

"But, Ulrich... he wouldn't do that... not to Yumi." Jeremie said
quietly. Odd, on the other hand, was furious.

"Why? He had no right! I can't believe he would do that to Yumi!
C'mon Jeremie, we're going to find him." Odd said, grabbing
Jeremie's arm and pulling him out the door. Kiki sighed heavily,
and, rolling her eyes, went back into Yumi's room. Yumi opened her
eyes and looked up to Kiki.

"So? What'd they say?"

"Odd stormed off to find Ulrich and Jeremie went with him. I think
they're going to go confront him." Yumi rolled her eyes lazily and
sat up slowly, draping her legs over the bed as if she was going
to stand up.

"What're you doing?" Kiki asked as Yumi tried to pull herself up.

"I need to go to Lyoko. Xana might have something to do with
this." Kiki walked over to Yumi and pushed her shoulders, making
her sit back down.

"You're not going anywhere. You have to stay here and recover.
Besides, what if we meet Ulrich along the way? I don't think he'd
be happy to see you."

"Please Kiki, help me out. What if it were Odd? I know you'd wanna
do the same. Please help me; I'm gonna get there somehow anyway,
so there's no point in trying to stop me." Kiki sighed heavily and
held out her hand to Yumi.

"Fine, you win. But hurry, the nurse could come back any minute."
Yumi smiled up at Kiki and reached for her hand. Yumi stood up,
and, supporting herself by holding Kiki's shoulder, walked as fast
as she could out the infirmary. At the park, Odd and Jeremie
continued their search for Ulrich. They found him fairly quickly,
spotting him at a small stream. Odd walked up behind Ulrich and
whipped him around.

"What's your deal, man? Why'd you put Yumi in the infirmary?
What'd she do to you?" Odd practically yelled at him. Ulrich said
nothing, but punched Odd in the face. Odd fell back a few feet,
bumping into Jeremie as he went. Odd went serious then, putting
himself into a fighting position in front of Jeremie.

"Jeremie, go to the factory. I have a feeling Xana has something
to do with this." Jeremie nodded and started running for the
passage farther in the park.

"You wanna talk about this Ulrich?" Ulrich waited a minute, went
into a fighting stance, then jumped for Odd.

"So, you wanna talk with your fists, huh? Fine by me." Odd said as
he placed a punch to Ulrich's chin. Yumi and Kiki continued their
trek to the factory, using the boiler room passage and elevator to
reach the control room. As they got there, Jeremie walked in from
the factory's boiler room.

"Yumi? But, you're supposed to be-."

"I know, but I need to go to Lyoko. I have a bad feeling about all
this. Send me there Jeremie."

"I'm going too, just in case something happens." Jeremie nodded
slowly and started setting up the transfer program. He contacted
Aelita, then waited for the girls to get in a scanner. Kiki helped
Yumi into a scanner before moving to another scanner.

"Okay girls, I'm sending you to the Forest area. Transfer Yumi.
Transfer Kiki. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Kiki. Virtualization!" He
said as the scanners did their work. They virtualized next to
Aelita, who was standing there waiting. Yumi landed on her feet
solidly while Kiki landed on her hands and knees. Yumi helped Kiki
up and looked at her new look. Yumi smiled and called up to
Jeremie.

"Nice work on her look Jeremie. I'm loving the daggers."

"It wasn't just me, Aelita helped too. She designed the outfit and
did the advanced detail; I just did the weapons and basic looks."

"Well, either way, it's great." Kiki thanked them both and Yumi
turned to Aelita.

"Has anything strange been happening lately?"

"Well, I saw a tower that wasn't deactivated, but it wasn't
activated either. It had a weird glow to it. C'mon, I'll show
you." She said making her way towards the tower. Yumi and Kiki
followed closely, looking out for monsters, weapons ready. When
they reached the tower, the two warriors could see just what she
went by it having a weird glow.

"Stay out here, just in case. If it's safe, then I'll find out
what's wrong." Aelita said entering the tower. Kiki and Yumi
looked at each other, then got an idea.

"Yumi, wanna spar?"

"Took the words right out of my mouth." She said holding her fan
up. Kiki shook her head and took all her daggers and laid them on
the ground by a tree.

"No weapons. Just you and me." Yumi raised an eyebrow and set her
fans down next to Kiki's daggers. As they both went into their
respective stances, a scream suddenly came from the tower.

"Yumi! Quickly!" Yumi and Kiki looked at each other, grabbed their
weapons and rushed into the tower, weapons out and ready to fly.
Aelita called them from the platform above them.

"There are no monsters, but there is something just as important.
Stand in the middle of the platform. Yumi, use your telekinesis."
Kiki and Yumi sighed heavily and walked up to the platform's
center. Yumi concentrated hard, and a red aura surrounded both her
and Kiki. Yumi lifted them up to the next platform, and once up
there, Yumi sat down, tired from her telekinesis.

"Yumi, what I'm about to play might confuse you. Believe me, it
certainly confused me. Jeremie, you listen to this too. It's a
weird sound wave from an unknown origin." Aelita said as she
played the clip. What the others saw next had them in shock. It
was Ulrich, only, he wasn't the same. He looked beaten and
bruised, as well as chained up with his sword taken away from him.
He looked towards them, pain showing through his blue eyes.

"Jeremie, Yumi, Odd, Aelita, anyone, please... help me... Xana
kidnapped me... and took me to this weird place. It... doesn't look
like Lyoko or Earth; it's dark. I think this might be... where Xana
might live. Please, hurry... Xana made a copy of me... put himself in
it, and sent it to Earth. Don't go near it. Jeremie... I trust
you'll find this quickly so you can start planning. Tell Odd I'm
sorry... if the fake me tells him off. Aelita, keep everyone calm.
And Yumi..." He said, a single tear falling from his face.

"Tell her I love her and I have faith in her. I'll. I'll be
waiting for everyone." He said as the transmission ended. Yumi sat
there, staring at where the screen had once been. Kiki held out
her hand to Yumi, she took it, and exited the tower. Aelita looked
back at the tower, which was back to its normal aura of blue.

"I have to get to Odd. He's in danger." Kiki said to Yumi and
Aelita. Yumi shook her head.

"No, I'll get him. I want you to stay here and help Aelita find
this place Xana's holding Ulrich. I'll be okay, don't worry. I've
been in worse shape than this before. Jeremie, materialize me."

"Okay. Code: Earth. Recipient, Yumi." He said as he started the
materialization program. A few seconds later, Yumi appeared in the
scanner, still pretty weak from earlier, but strong enough to be
able to run now. She took off for the elevator, passing the
control room and taking the passage to the park. Meanwhile, Odd
landed another punch to Ulrich, sending him into a tree. Ulrich
got back up and returned the punch, adding a swift kick to Odd's
stomach. Yumi made it just in time to see Odd get picked up by the
neck. Yumi took some sand and a thick tree limb and ran to him.
She threw the sand in his eyes and hit the back of his head with
the limb. Ulrich cried out and fell to his hands and knees, trying
to wipe the sand out. She then ran to Odd, helped him up, and ran
to the school. Odd followed closely behind, and Ulrich followed
them, rubbing his eyes, trying to get the sand out. When he did,
he saw Yumi and Odd run to the science building, heading for the
stairs to the roof. When the two teens made it to the roof, they
stood on either side of the door. The ledge was about four feet in
front of them, and Yumi got an idea.

"Odd, when he comes out, hold your foot out and trip him."

"What!?"

"Just do it, trust me." She said just as Ulrich entered the
doorway of the roof.

"Now!" She said putting her foot in Ulrich's way. Odd did the same
just as Ulrich stepped out, his foot catching Ulrich's. Ulrich
struggled to keep his balance, but fell off the side of the roof.
Yumi and Odd breathed a sigh of relief and sat down where they
were.

"It's okay Odd. That wasn't Ulrich. It was Xana. The real Ulrich
is being held in another world parallel to both Earth and Lyoko.
We have to get back to Lyoko."

"Wait, I hear something." Odd said as he took a rope that was
lying to the side of him. He looked over the edge of the building
where X-Ulrich had fallen, and let out a gasp as X-Ulrich jumped
for Odd. He apparently had held onto a ledge and pulled himself
back up. Odd tossed the end of the rope to Yumi.

"C'mon Yumi. I have an idea. Follow my lead." He said looping a
piece of it around X-Ulrich's arm. Odd pulled hard, sending X-
Ulrich to the ground. Yumi went behind him and looped her end
around him, tying him up. Odd took care of the hands and feet as
Yumi tied his upper arms and knees. After they accomplished that,
they ran down the stairs, heading for the factory. X-Ulrich,
however, didn't like that idea and used his supernatural strength
to break his bonds. He stood up, fire in his eyes, and went to
follow them.

Yumigirl06: Okay, guys, there's your relief, but wait, what's
this? What's X-Ulrich gonna do? Will he find them? Well, I'd tell
you, but what would be the fun in that? There's still plenty more
chapters to come, but the only way to see them is to review. So,
review, and I'll give you the next chappie!

Odd: Why?! Why must you do this to them? What'd they do to you,
Kiki?

Yumigirl06: Why? Because I can! Mwahahaha! Plus, it adds to the
quality of the story. In my opinion, people who are sent to the
edge, held there for a while, then pulled back enjoy the stories
more. That's the way I am.

Odd: Still, you're evil.

Yumigirl06: I know... but you still love me!

Ulrich: Hey, I haven't seen Angel Soleil in a while. You seen her?

Yumigirl06:...umm...

At the mention of her name, the normally spastic teenager appears, leaning against a doorframe... in a much calmer manner.

Angel Soleil: Why do you care?

Ulrich: Why are you in a bad mood?

Angel Soleil: Because the blonde one is still staring at me like I'm a goat!

She points at Odd angrily, who turns the other way quickly, turning bright red in the face.

Ulrich: That's all?

Angel Soleil: No. I'm holding a grudge against him...

Ulrich: Why?

Angel: Because he claimed that I was Xana's newest plan to destroy the world and didn't try to help me when the evil filing cabinets attacked me!!

Everyone turns to Odd, who gets redder.

Odd: Well... Kiki didn't say she wasn't....

Angel Soleil: EEEEEEEERRRRRRGGGGG!!

Angel begins to chase Odd in circles around the room with one of Yumigirl06's baseball bats.

Ulrich: You really know how to bring out the bad part of girls Odd.
