Chapter 3
Escape

As Ulrich ran with Yumi right behind him, they tried to get out of reach of Yumi's mom. Ulrich's cell phone rang. He answered it hoping it was Jeremy. What," he practically screamed at the phone.

"Xanna," Jeremy screamed back.

"Duh, Jeremy! I figured that out already!" Just then, they found themselves dodging things that Yumi's mom was throwing.

"Well, hurry & get to the factory! I still need to call Yumi!"

"She's with me."

"May I ask what's going on."

"Xanna possessed Yumi's mom."

"Well lose her & get over here, Odd can't protect Aelita alone."

"We're trying Jeremy but this might be a lot harder than you think!"

Jeremy didn't reply, he had already hung up.

"Yumi," Ulrich said as he turned a curve , "do you know of a way we can lose your mom & get to the factory."

"Just one, you think Xanna can swim."

"I don't know, but I'm sure he can light up water pretty good."

"Then we'll have to be fast."

"I'm with you."

They came to the factory, but water was surronding it & the bridge was pretty far off, in which they seen a faint shadow run across it.

With Odd

Odd's cell started ringing as he was crossing the bridge to the factory. "Yeah," he answered.

"Odd stop where you are," yelled Jeremy through the phone.

Odd did what he was told & asked, "why?"

"Look across the river, Yumi & Ulrich might need your help."

Sure enough, he seen two figures dive into the water not far off, but still pretty far.

"I see 'em ,Jeremy," Odd said as he hung up.(Jeremy could see Odd on the bridge because he has security cameras around the factory)

Odd ran closer to the factory, turned & went under the bridge to the banks of the river (I don't even know if there are any banks, but work with me here). He could see something trying to get to Yumi & Ulrich with no luck & thought, "it must be Xanna."

Ulrich & Yumi

They were swiming & decided to go underwater so that Xanna wouldn't be able to see them, so they dived under & tried as fast as they could to get at least to the shores of the factory. Suddenly, a current helped them to get closer to the bank a lot faster (what are the odds). They seen an arm come under the water. Ulrich grabbed it, thankful he could see Odd's sleeve. He turned around & grabbed Yumi's arm as they were both hoisted up on the banks of the factory.

"Come on, let's beat Xanna to the elevator," Odd said as he started running to the ropes, Ulrich behind him & Yumi close behind Ulrich. Xanna ,for some reason, just walked to the factory actually kinda slow, until she got to the bridge & stopped (I'm not saying Xanna's a girl although it's probably possible, I'm talking about Yumi's mom), at the same time Ulrich got out of the elevator at the computer just in case she decided to come & take out Jeremy, while Odd & Yumi went down to meet Aelita in the scanner room.

"Alright guys, you ready," said Jeremy through the intercom as Yumi, Odd & Aelita stood in the scanners.

"Of course, Einstein. Hurry up before Xanna goes on a rampage again," Odd said.

"Alright, you're heading for the mountains. Transfer Yumi, transfer Odd, transfer Aelita. Scanner Yumi, scanner Odd, scanner Aelita. Virtualization!"

They were materalized in the mountain region just like Jeremy said.

"Uhh... Jeremy," Yumi said, "we can't see the tower."

"It's forty degrees north," Jeremy said, "Materalizing vehicles." Then the Over-Wing & Hoverboard appeared. Odd got on his Hoverboard as Yumi & Aelita got on the Over-Wing.

"We're off ,Jeremy," Odd said as they both took off.

Ok, this one was longer than Chapter 1 ,but shorter than Chapter 2. I hope you like it! & for all you ppl out there that want to know who dies... I will tell you in the chapter that it happens in! I can't wait! You'll be like "It's gonna happen, it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen" & I'll be like "Psych!" Muhahahahhahahahahahahaha! Writing suspense is fun... Don't forget to review on your way out!
