Chapter 9 Guest of Honor

Ulrich sat in his room waiting on the return of his friends. Around 7 he awoke to Odd shaking him looked as white as a sheet.

"Ulrich, Ulrich. Wake up man we have an emergence." Odd yelled.

" What" Ulrich said groggy and exhaustedly. "what in the hell is going on."

"William got a hold of Yumi, We went to Lyoko and Yumi never showed up, once we deactivated the tower I came here looking for her." Odd said frantically. " When I got here there was this note in the door addressed to you."

Dear Ulrich

If your push over roommate Odd hasn't already told you, We have Yumi. I don't care about her. What I want is you. Meet me in the forest at midnight if you wish to get her back unharmed. Lets settle this once and for all. That is if you can get by my gang.

Sincerely William

P.S. You better come alone for Yumi's sake.

"I can't believe this is happening." Ulrich said frustrated. " There is no way that I can take on all of those guys again."

" Yes there is Ulrich" Jeremy said walking in. " If we pixalize you for just a few minutes and have Odd and Aelita outside the tower we could prevent Xana from interfering. And give you a fighting edge.

" I though that you said that wasn't safe." Ulrich shouted.

"You have a better Idea. It is your girl friends life at stake here." Jeremy yelled.

"Fine lets get this planned out. We only have a couple of hours."

11 pm. At the factory.

"were ready Ulrich." Jeremy said.

" Ok lets get this going." Ulrich said sceptically.

"You are not going to have a lot of time to get this done." Jeremy said. " and we are hoping that Xana doesn't lunch an attack. If he does I will have to pull the plug on your Mr. Invincible time. OK"

" Ok Jeremy. I am ready." Ulrich said.

" You sure we should be doing this Jeremy." Aelita asked.

" For Yumi and Ulrich's state we really have no chose, Ready you two." Jeremy said.

Yes the blond boy and the Pink haired girl both said stepping into the scanners. We are ready when you are.

" Transfer Odd, Aelita, Scanner Odd, and Aelita, Secularizations." Jeremy yelled. " Wok the tower i am going to activate is in the desert region."

Jeremy worked hard getting ready for the pixelazation of Ulrich and by the time he was ready Melita was in the tower ready for the shut off as soon as she was giving the command.

" Ok Ulrich here we go." Jeremy said. " Tower activated."

Just then the oh so recognizable black mist came out of the computer unit and surrounded Ulrich.

" How do ya feel Ulrich." Jeremy asked

" Incredible"

" Get going, we won't be able to hold it for very long"

In the forest.

" Well it seems that Ulrich isn't going to show up." William stated. "Finish he..."

Right as William was about to give the command to finish Yumi. The oh so familiar and smart ass voice of Ulrich spoke out.

"I am here William. Let her go this is between you and me." Ulrich yelled.

"Why should I. I really have a bone to pick with the both of ya." he said aggressively " Get him boys"

The hole group of thugs began to come at Ulrich. Yumi started yelling " No Get out of here run Ulrich run..." But to her surprise Ulrich came right back at them. Wasting each one that came at him while yelling for William to come down and face him. But as this is going on the greatest fear soon came to Jeremy back at the factory.

" What is going on? Oh hell. Aelita hurry shut it down. Xana is trying to take it over. If he does then he has complete control of Ulrich and this would provably spell the end for him as well as for Yumi." Jeremy quickly yelled.

" Ok " Aelita said as she typed in the Lyoko on the screen. " The tower is now deactivated." as Odd came into join her. " But what about Ulrich?" they said in unison.

Mean while back in the forest.

" Alright William now it is just you and me." Ulrich said walking up to the cocky teenager. " Lets do this" Just as Ulrich got into a defensive position he felt all his pain coming back. Damn he thought, Xana must have tried to take the tower over, What in the hell am I going to do now as he looked up at the figure of William closing in on him.

Sorry about the cliff y, let me know what you think. Later z
