Chapter 10: Day of truth

Location: Spirit World

Ulrich lay awake in his provided sleeping bag, in fact, most of the people around him weren't sleeping at all, not because of the marriage, or stress, or any of that, but because Odd was snoring. Ulrich mentally slapped himself for not bringing his earplugs. Even in death, Odd snored like no other.

The LYOKO warriors were all camped out in one of the royal transports that they had arrived in. The pilots weren't too happy, but what could they do? There wasn't anywhere else for the guests to sleep for the night, save for the transports and the nearby buildings.

Ulrich shot a glance to the window. There was a glimmer of light. He shot up. He saw the stars disappearing, the sun rising from behind the Temple of Soul Guardians. Ulrich watched as the doors of the temple opened and Ollrack and Erick walked down the steps. "Guess they weren't kidding when they told us to wake up at the crack of dawn." He mused to himself. The 2 Electrifyings started banging on random ships doors.

"Come on, come on! The sun waits for no one. Everyone up!" Ollrack yelled. Ulrich smiled and turned to his friends.

"I know the rest of you are up, Odd, lets go." Yumi, Jeremy and the newly joined Isabel sat up, while Odd just kept letting go of his Z's. "For crying out loud," Ulrich knelt down and shook his friend until he moaned for him to stop. "Let's go Odd." he encouraged. Eventually, they were all out of the ship. Ollrack and Erick had set up a table with morning delicacies on it.

"Gather round, we can't let you go hungry. Can't enjoy a ceremony on an empty stomach. We've got food for all species here." Odd perked up at the word food.

"Well don't mind if I do." he said running over. The gang gave each other a 'gee, who saw that coming' look. By the time Ulrich and the others got their spot in the growing line, Odd had already snuck off to a corner and started chowing down.

It was only the start of a miraculous day.


David paced up and down his room. "So, you must think you're so clever. I've been able to avoid you for some time now… but because of my recent proposal… I am forced to endure you… well don't get your hopes up! Because as soon as

I get my first chance, I will burn you!" he remarked. He looked down at what he was talking to. "So…tuxedo… what do you have to say?" He smiled at the suit that was laid out on the bed. "Scared stiff eh? You should… because this is a one time occasion I can assure you-"

"Are you talking to the suit again?" Erick said walking out of the shadow.

"You know I hate it when you do that."

"I know. Well, I just wanted to know if the groom was ready to let the guests in." David sighed then nodded. Erick left the room. David looked back at the tuxedo on his bed.

"Cherish this moment… it may be your last." He sneered as he reached for it.


Aileta sat on her bed cross-legged, in deep thought, like every morning. This was the day, the day she would be bonded with the man she truly loved. Aileta smiled when she sensed the presence of a familiar entity. "Sorry, but whatever you're planning isn't going to work Sicron." The transparent Sicron sneered to himself. She had come a long way. He remembered when she was just a slave to him, now she was poking fun at him, ironic none the less.

"I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU GOOD LUCK FOR THE CEREMONY. IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITHOUT BEING NERVOUS." Aileta opened one eye to look at him.

"Told you it wasn't going to work." She said smiling at him,

"You're losing your touch, try something original next time." Sicron huffed to himself and disappeared.

"When will he ever give up?" Aileta sighed to herself, and then began meditating again. It almost scared her; she could just shrug off Sicron. The same creature who had tortured her for 500 years, was stomping away at her remark. So this was power, power of another. She really was growing up, even though she was technically only a few years old. And now she was getting married. She slid off the bed and walked to her closet. Out of it she pulled out a flowing white dress.


The guests were granted entrance back into the temple, where they found rows upon rows of chairs, all facing the raised back portion of the temple, upon which stood the altar. The guests took their time to fill the seats and get comfortable. They didn't have to wait long until the Great Electrifying walked up to his position in front of them.

"My friends… today is a joyous one to say the least. Today we shall finally bond the two Soul Guardians, and ensure everlasting peace in the Void. You are all blessed to witness this momentous occasion, and I please ask of you all to show your highest respect for the ceremony."

"Were those words small enough for you Odd?" Jeremy joked. The LYOKO warriors tried their hardest to keep from laughing.

"And now, let us get this ceremony underway."
