Chapter 6

Yumi's Sorrow.

All around the globe, things were changing. People were being killed, Land masses were

changing, and Odd was leaping through the forest region trying to find Yumi's house,

and Sissy and the other people in Ulrich's group were trying to catch up with him. Odd

watched as the street in which Yumi lived on started too change. The trees grew taller,

the roads were turning into mud, and houses were turning into nothing but piles of wood.

Odd ran down the what is now dirt and banged on the now wooden door of Yumi's

house. It seemed like Odd had just woken everyone, because there was a lot of

commotion and yelling. Finally, opened the door. It was Yumi. "Odd, is another one of

your crappy pranks?" she asked and yawned at the same time. "Does THIS look like a

prank!" He asked her, and moving so she could see the outdoors. "Mom, your new

trees are coming on great!" Yumi said to her mother. "What trees?" She said back.

Curiously, Yumi walked outside, yelled, nearly fainted, and took all of her clothes off

(just kidding). "Odd, what is going on?" She asked, looking very shocked. So then Odd

told her everything about what was going. Everything except that Ulrich was now dead.

That piece of news arrived when Sissy found them. "Over here!" She told the rest of what

was now her group. "Sissy, aren't you supposed to be with Ulrich?" Yumi asked her.

"Odd, Yumi, I have some bad news" Sissy said, looking at neither of them in the eye.

"What kind of bad news?" Odd asked. "The Fatal kind. I ha-hate to be the one to t-t-ell

you th-th-is" She said as she started to cry. "So I'll have herb do it for me. HERB! Get

over here!" She said before she burst into tears. Herb hesitated before saying "Ulrich is

dead". At that point, Sissy wasn't the only one crying. Yumi joined her, sobbing as if

there was there was no tomorrow, which was what XANA didn't want there to be. "Lets

get to Jeremy an Aileta. Maybe they has a solution to all this madness" Odd said, and

they left towards the Factory, which was in the only other sector, the mountain region.
