Ulrich sat in his room thinking about how to escape. His thoughts were interrupted when Xana came into the room. "I hope your enjoying your stay Ulrich", he said only receiving a glare from Ulrich. "What do want Xana" said Ulrich." You still don't know, you have fought me for so long I thought you would have figured it by now", said Xana" No matter your friends will give up coming to stop me if they ever want to see again and I'm going give them an example of will happen to you" said Xana. Ulrich noticed a pair of yellow eyes staring at him from the shadows. Before he could react Xana tossed him across he got and threw a punch at Xana, he dodged it, before he could attack again the creature in the lashed a black smoky and wrapped around him. Xana then his hand a red light glowed brought it right in front Ulrich's forehead then the light fired at his forehead. Ulrich felt much pain from it then suddenly it was gone, Ulrich eye's then became blood red and the Xana symbol appeared on his forehead. The creature's eyes glowed then a red aura appeared around Ulrich when it was the black tendril released Ulrich. His clothing had changed; he had a black long sleeved shirt with Xana's logo on it, black pants, and his sword was darker and longer." My new puppet" said Xana with great satisfaction.
Back in the control room the gang was thinking about the conversation with Xana when the computer started beeping "Xana has been spotted in the forest region" said Jeremy. "Well then let's get him and save Ulrich" shouted Yumi "Calm down Yumi we'll get him back" said Odd. The two were virtualized and appeared in the forest region were Xana was waiting for them. Aeltia appeared behind the two. "Xana where is Ulrich" demanded Yumi through clenched teeth. Xana smirked in retaliation and said" If want do we have a deal or do we have to do this the hard way?" Yumi and Odd had enough of Xana toying with them, Odd fired his laser arrow and Yumi threw her fan, Xana dodged them and charged at Odd, unsheathing has katana and swinging at Odd, Odd dodged most of his attacks but then Xana did a whirl kick sending Odd flying into a tree" Odd you lost twenty life points be careful" said Jeremy" No kidding" said Odd staggering. Yumi charged throwing her fan at Xana, he caught it and it vanished, Yumi used her telekinesis and sent rocks flying at Xana, he jumped up one then onto another, Yumi kept using her powers determined to take down Xana and save Ulrich. Suddenly a figure in black clothing with Xana' logo on his shirt, and had a long dark sword, knocked Yumi down and tossed her towards her friends. Yumi got back up in time to see the figure swing it's sword at her, Odd and pushed her out of the way with his cat agility, the figure then held it's in a defense position. Yumi and Odd got up saw the figure's face and gasped, it was Ulrich but he was different, his eyes were blood red, Xana's logo was on his forehead, and he smiled maniacally. ." Ulrich what happened to you" said Yumi after she found the strength to speak. Ulrich didn't reply instead he charged again, Odd lunged and knocked Ulrich" Ulrich snap out of it, it's me Odd" said Odd only getting thrown at Yumi.
Meanwhile Xana went after Aelita who also saw Ulrich and eyes were wide with shock. When she saw Xana, she became angry" Xana whatdid youdo to Ulrich" said Aelita." Nothing sister this just an example, if your friends don't agree he will be like this permanently" said Xana happily." I am not your sister!" shouted Aelita. Xana sighed" It's a shame your memory of the day you were created was erased sister, then you would not been stubborn" said Xana" Ah well it doesn't matter, I will get my revenge on the humans for trapping me in my virtual prison, you maybe human now Aelita in the real world, but I won't delete you, that's no way to treat family."" Aelita I have program that should allow you a weapon to defend yourself, here it comes!" called Jeremy from the control room. A ninja sword appeared; Aelita grabbed it and charged at Xana. Xana unsheathed his sword blocked Aelita's attack, and countered, the two virtual beings fought fiercely. Suddenly a crab appeared and fired lasers at Aelita; she dodged it, jumped onto the crab and plunged her sword into Xana's logo. After it exploded she saw Xana floating in mid-air. "Enough games for today, Ulrich let's go" said Xana transforming into a black cloud disappearing into the sky, and Ulrich vanished in a flash of light." ULRICH" shouted Yumi then collapsed on the ground, Odd stood there shocked at what Xana did to his best friend, while Aelita looked into the sky" Xana" she shouted in anger.
