Here I am again. I hope if you read chapter one, you liked it. This chapter is dedicated to twobirdslover for her/him being the first reviewer, plus having awesome taste in TT couplings. So…if that's it, then lets get started.

Ulrich gently unfolded the paper that had fallen out of the silver heart. His eyes widened as he saw that it was a letter from Yumi. It said:

Dear Ulrich,

If you're reading this right now, it means I didn't make it through the night. This morning I was told that it was a very large chance that I wouldn't make it through, so I am having a nurse write this for me. This is so hard, talking to the one person I love through a note and knowing they'll only get if I die.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened over the previous couple days. It was my choice, and I know it sounds crazy, but I am happy I made it. Making the decision to jump into the lake made me feel less accountable for what happened. I know I might regret it later, but for now, I know that you have many things destined for your life ahead, and I don't want you to forget them because of me.

Ulrich, you are a magnificent person, and I will always love you. But don't forget that I'm probably not the only one you will love in your life. There are many other girls out there, and I know that one of them will be able to love you and make you happier than I could have ever done. Hopefully, you will sometimes realize that, and once you do, I will be very happy.

Anyhow, if I ever find out that you haven't managed to reach your potential, say as a star soccer player, or a wonderful husband/father, I will haunt you for the rest of your life. With that being said, I need to close this up. Don't forget me, Ulrich. Please.

Yumi

Ulrich dropped the note as his tears splattered onto them wildly. As his shoulders heaved, he buried his head into his knees and wrapped his arms around his ankles like a little boy. But it didn't matter, because all he wanted now was Yumi.



Ulrich walked into the cemetery the next afternoon. He went over to where Yumi had been buried the week before. As he walked in, he realized a large black moped parked in front of the sidewalk.

He paced toward her grave, but stopped as soon as he saw a man standing near it, just looking at it. The man swayed back and forth. When the man began to turn, Ulrich leapt behind a tree swiftly.

He peered around the tree, hoping the man would leave so. But when he didn't, Ulrich leaned back against the tree trunk, laying his head on the tree. Occasionally, he would turn his head and see that the man hadn't left yet. Ulrich closed his eyes in aggravation.

When Ulrich reopened his eyes, everything around him was dark. He opened his eyes lazily, and looked around, but once he saw it was nighttime, he jumped up alertly. He looked in front of the tree, and finally saw that the strange man was gone. He jumped over the long bush next to the tree, and sauntered over toward the grave.

As he walked toward it, he looked at the headstone. All it said on it was "Yumi Ishyama, 1991- 2005", and yet, Ulrich thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his lifetime.

His breath then caught in his throat as his eyes wandered down. Expecting to see the pale pink tulips he had placed there a week ago, he saw them buried under large handfuls of dirt.

He crouched down in the dark, not being able to see what had actually happened. As he was going down, he tipped over frantically, and fell into the grave. He screamed scared, but stopped as he felt the smooth silk of the open yet empty coffin underneath him. Yumi…was no longer in the casket.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Ulrich jumped out, and wiped himself off. He needed to get to the factory, right after he called Jeremy.

He whipped out his cell phone as he ran toward the factory. Punching in Jeremy's number, he brought the phone up to his ear. "Jeremy? Pick up your god damn phone!" he said to himself.

"Hello?" a very sleepy Jeremy muttered into the phone.

"Jeremy, it's Ulrich. Look, we need to get to the factory immediately." Ulrich said into the phone breathlessly.

"What is it? If no one is dead, bleeding profusely, or has anything to do with…you know…one of us, then it can wait until tomorrow morning." Jeremy said yawning.

"But, it does have to do with one of us," Ulrich shouted.

"If it does, will you just tell me so I can go back to sleep, or get to the factory." Jeremy bellowed angrily.

"Jeremy…Yumi's grave is empty, and I think Xana has something to do with it." Ulrich said quietly. But all Ulrich heard was a gasp, and then nothing.

LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO LYOKO

Jeremy got onto his scooter followed a pajama-clad Lanie, Odd and Aelita. They were all extremely quiet. After a little ride, a climb, and a little jog to wake them up, they were at the factory, greeted by a very stressed out Ulrich.

"Ulrich, you're positive that it's empty?" Jeremy said as he looked Ulrich in the eye.

"Jeremy…I fell into it. Of course I know that it's empty." Ulrich said with his arms crossed.

Jeremy nodded, and then typed in a few keys on the keyboard. "I'm doing a tower scan, to see if any of them have been activated." Jeremy said. "Oh my god," Jeremy whispered just enough to be heard.

"What is it, Jeremy?" Aelita said as she laid one of her fragile hands on his shoulder.

"The towers, all of them have been activated." He said amazed. All the other four gasped.

"But, that means…" Aelita said scared.

"Xana finally thinks he will be able to defeat us." Jeremy said to her.

"Why?" Odd asked confused.

Aelita turned to him. "It takes some power for Xana to activate one tower, so to activate all of them, it takes any power her could use. But I'm not sure how he's getting this much power. This means that this is probably the most important time that we stop him. It gonna take all of us working together to defeat him," Aelita said as she bit her lip.

Jeremy was frantically typing on the computer. "We're going to have to go today. I'm uploading an upgrade that will give us extra life points. So instead of starting with 100 life points, we'll start with 300. Actually, I wonder…" Jeremy muttered the last part quietly.

Aelita crouched down next to him. "What is it?" she asked quietly.

"Do you think it would be…you know…really bad if I gave odd Yumi's powers and weapon because they are more powerful than his?" he said.

Aelita looked deeply at him. She took a deep breath. "…I think that Yumi would rather have us defeat him using whatever we could, than keeping her account as some sort of memorial. So…yes, I think it would be all right." Aelita said as she smiled.

"Okay, guys, let get going. Lanie, Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita, off to the scanners with you." They nodded as Jeremy directed them. Jeremy typed quickly, transferring everything but Yumi's outfit into Odd's account.

"Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Odd. Scanner, Aelita. Scanner, Lanie. Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Aelita. Transfer, Lanie. VIRTUALIZATION!" he shouted as he hit the enter key. He then typed in the keys he would have hit, and then he rushed toward the scanners before he came into Lyoko.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"JEREMY!" Odd shouted angrily as he stormed over to Jeremy. Jeremy looked at him confuddled. (Ha! I love that word.)

"Jeremy…could you please tell me why…I HAVE YUMI'S FAN AND TELEKINESIS!" odd shouted angrily.

Jeremy grabbed odd by the neck. "Look odd, the only reason I gave them to you was because they could help you a lot more than you other ones could. So stop complaining before I break you in half with my super strength!" Jeremy yelled in his ear.

Odd backed up, blown away by Jeremy's little out burst. "Okay then," he said shocked.

Jeremy then said, "Look guys, we have approximately 60 towers activated, most of them in the glacier region. So, Aelita, you take the Desert region. Lanie, take the Forest area. I'll take the Mountain area, and Odd and Ulrich, both of you go to the Glacier region. We'll meet back here when we're done. I let you know how you're going with life points using the little radio they put in this helmet. Alright, let's go!" Jeremy said before the all went running in different directions.

Well, as you can see by the little line border I did, that's the end of this chapter. I'll try to update soon, but I have to update three other stories before I do this one. Look, I g2g. BYE!
