Wella funny thing happened, I couldn't stop thinking about my story and what was going on to Odd and the others so I had to write another chapter to ease my mind. Kind of weird when you can't take your own cliff hanger. Well this gets the story along its way...well I'll shut up so you can read, Enjoy!

Kasey awoke in her bed covered in a cold sweat. She desperately looked around for someone to talk to, someone to hold her.

"Not someone, I want Odd, but…" Kasey let her mumbled words trail off.

She walked to the window and looked out towards the park. Odd was all she could think about. The clouds outside were growing larger as the storm began to build. A lightning bolt lit up the sky and Kasey, for a brief moment, could see the building that housed her love. The rain began to fall and Kasey stood at the window letting her tears join the rain outside.

Odd slowly walked through the virtual forest of Lyoko. He was in no hurry, he had no where to go, until Jeremy or someone found a way to get him out he was stuck.

"It could be worse, I mean I could be stuck and hungry." Odd sighed.

Stuck in Lyoko had not only separated him from his friends and beloved pet, but from his favorite pastime as well. Virtual beings had no need to eat and Odd was going nuts not having snacked in hours. He continued walking, but stopped when he saw movement up ahead.

"Hello Odd." A cloaked figure said stepping out of the shade of one of the larger trees.

"Xana don't hide your lovely face." Odd chided the mysterious stranger.

"Silly Odd, I'm not Xana. Don't you recognize me?" The figure pulled back the cloak and Odd gasped.

Ulrich was woken up by a lightning flash outside the window. He looked over to see if Odd was still asleep, only to be reminded of the fate his friend had chosen for himself. Walking to the window, Ulrich began to feel lonely. He picked up his phone and called Yumi.

"Uhh…Hello?" Yumi muttered sleepily.

"I'm sorry Yumi, but I needed to talk to you."

"Ulrich it's three in the morning," Yumi paused to yawn, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I'm just…" Ulrich didn't finish his sentence.

After a moment of dead silence Yumi finished for Ulrich, "Your lonely without Odd?"

"Somewhat, but…I'm lonely without you, and I'm worried that…I might lose you too."

"Ulrich, I'll always be here, don't worry"

Ulrich sighed, "I'm sorry for waking you Yumi, I'll let you go."

Yumi smiled, "Oh no! You don't get off that easy mister, you got me up so we're going to talk."

Ulrich laughed, and the two spent the next hour and a half talking until Ulrich finally fell asleep. Yumi smiled realizing what had happened and ended the call, rolling over in bed and falling asleep, silently offering up a prayer for Odd.

"But you're dead" Odd gasped.

"I know Odd, all I am is a program."

Odd sat down on a tree stump and stared at Sam, "But how,…I mean…how are you a program?"

Sam walked over and sat down next to Odd, "Little to say, Xana didn't just plan on using me to keep an eye on you, he wanted to make me virtual and kill you in Lyoko."

"So are you here to kill me?"

Sam laughed and punched Odd in the arm lightly, "No, when you moved on to Kasey he…well he saw no more use for this program and threw it out, I've been wondering around for a while."

"So you think just like Sam, so you are her?"

"No Odd, I'm just a copy in a sense, my file is going to be deleted soon."

Odd frowned, "Why, I mean I can't let you die…again."

"Odd when Xana threw me out he put me away in a temporary folder that would self delete after a few months, time is almost up."

Odd smiled at his old friend, "I'm sorry to hear that, I mean…"

Sam put a finger to his lips, "Odd don't be, I've had a rare chance to talk to you from beyond the grave. It was worth it even if it doesn't last forever."

Odd still a little confused and dazed by Sam's prescence stood up and offered his hand to her. Sam took it and they walked along the path for a while.

After a while Sam stopped, "It's almost time Odd."

Odd nodded, "I'll always miss you."

"Don't… please don't be sad, take good care of this Kasey girl when you get out, she's a keeper."

Odd laughed and hugged Sam. He stepped back from her and she gave him one last smile.

"Never give up hope Odd, your friends will come for you, you'll be just fine."

"Thanks Sam," Odd watched as she slowly faded and was soon gone forever, "I won't forget you."

Odd somewhat cheered up by the unexpected visit, started humming a song as he walked.

"So how do we save Odd?" Ulrich said looking around at his friends who were gathered in his dorm.

"Well it all boils down to finding a way to input human DNA back into his virtual self."

All except Aelita acted like they understood Jeremy.

"So we just need another set of DNA, how hard is that?" Aelita asked, "Can't we copy some here and send it to Lyoko?"

Kasey smiled at the pink haired girl, "Human DNA isn't like a file, Aelita, it…well we don't have a way to copy it, and even if we did, it's too fragile to try and scan in."

"We could kidnap Sissy and send her to Lyoko and take her DNA for Odd." Yumi joked.

"That's a great idea!" Jeremy suddenly burst out.

"What!" Everyone gasped, staring at Jeremy thinking he'd finally blown too many fuses up top.

"No, not kidnap Sissy, just find a willing person to…umm…sacrifice?"

"Oh this is hopeless," Yumi muttered, "How are we ever going to convince a person that Lyoko exists, let alone to basically kill themselves for a guy they don't even know."

"We just have to find someone who has nothing to live for."

"Jeremy, let's make this a backup plan, I don't like it." Ulrich stated.

The others nodded and they continued brainstorming to no avail, only the idea of sacrificing someone to Lyoko existed when they were done.

Xana gently placed an arrow on his bow and drew it back, aiming directly at Odd's virtual heart. "Too easy!" Xana let the arrow fly.

Odd was walking down the path when he heard a muffled twang.

"Shit!" Odd yelled as he dropped to the ground, the arrow passing mere inches away from his heart and reopening the wound that Kasey's arrow had given him the day before.

Xana formed into a mist and floated down before Odd and materialized into his human like form.

"So ugly, do you want to dance?"

"Oh let's dance feline, just one thing, pick the song."

Odd stared at the enemy he so desperately wanted to kill, in pure confusion. Xana seeing the boy's confusion spoke, "You idiot I literally mean pick a song to fight to."

"Oh," Odd said, still a little confused, "Do you have the new Sub-Sonics album?"

The music started blaring through the forest, breaking apart any remaining peace. Odd started hopping from foot to foot to the beat.

"Ok Xana, let's dance."

Xana smiled and reached for an arrow as Odd dove backwards firing arrows. Xana shot the arrow as he took two of Odd's to the chest. He groaned and watched his shot fly carelessly by Odd's head.

"That the best you got?"

"Oh you haven't seen anything, little human."

The two fired again and again, changing the once peaceful forest into dangerous flurry of arrows. The two continued their battle, for the moment evenly matched.

Jeremy was shocked to hear music coming from the Super computer. He ran to his seat and brought up the screen.

"Hey Odd are you there?"

Odd dodged another arrow, he was wearing down and having a harder time dodging. "Genius, I'm kind of busy here, so could you reload me when you get the chance."

Jeremy looked at the screen and saw a very large red dot glowing.

"Is that…"

Odd jumped out of a tree and shot Xana in the foot with an arrow, "Yeah it's Xana, now reload me, I've got two shots left!"

"Oh sorry, I…Odd watch out!"

Jeremy's warning came too late as a blast from a crab caught Odd right in the back. Odd picked himself up off the ground and shot the crab, which promptly exploded.

"You cheated, that's not cool."

Xana smiled, "Not really, you used a friend and I'm using one, we're even."

Odd limped his way behind a tree. "Jeremy, I'm not going to last long like this figure something out."

"I've already called the others, but I'm not sure if they can make it in time, just try to hold on."

Another arrow grazed Odd's arm, and he instinctively grabbed the new wound.

"I'm not sure man, just get me out of here!" Odd yelled in a increasingly panicked voice.

"I'm trying Odd I'm…"

Jeremy froze as he watched on screen as Odd was surrounded by monsters on all sides.

"You lousy piece of …"

Xana cut him off, "Save it, I'm just tired of wasting time, I think it's time to end it."

Odd stared in horror as crabs, blocks, and hornets all charged their lasers.

"There has to be fifty different monsters!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"Genius, it's now or never!"
