a/n: well here is the next chappie! I have run out of ideas to stab people with so, GO AND DIE IN THE CORNER GOD DAMN IT...enjoy!

Norm POV:

Ulrich landed on the cliff a few seconds after being lifted off the ground three football fields away. As soon as he fell he saw that the man before him barely looked like a man at all. He was more reptilian, almost like a snake. He had slicked back black hair that had a streak of red going down the middle of it. He was a tall and gangly person, but he was one of those that had cronies galore. He had an aura of power around himself that was...frightening.Ulrich looked at him and he starred smugly back watchinghim with cold blood red eyes.

"My dear Ulrich. It is an honor." and he bowed low.

"I don't know if I can say the same about you XANA. Where's Josiane?" Ulrich said remaining upright.

"Tsk tsk Ulrich. I am only trying to be kind before I kill you and your little friend. But, if you wish her to appear, then the dead shall have his wish." and as he finnished talking he snapped his finger andUlrichwas immediatly bound. Then another snap and Josiane appeared, being carried by two creepers towards the large stone circle.

"Josiane!"Ulrich cried out desperatly from the ground.

She looked down athim with frightened eyes. She looked terrible, as white as a ghost and ready to faint, she was forcefully tied to the tablet. She was slightly bleeding in the side from where the Terantula shot her, and as her arms were tied above her head the wound was stretched painfully. Josiane let out a cry as the pain shot through her side all the way up to her head. Where it stayed creating a pounding headache.

"There you are Ulrich. She is perfectly fine. Do you know, Ulrich, what my incredibly genious plan is?" XANA asked looking down athis captiveas though he actually was concerned at whathe thought.

"I have no idea, but I think that I could guess. Something evil no doubt."Ulrich said glarring up at him.

"Correct! Except there is more to it than what you think. I didn't go through the trouble of kidnapping your friend for nothing. No...there is much, much more to it than that. You see, your Josiane hasn't exactly been truthful to you. I expect that she has lied through her teeth about who she is." XANA said smuggly, pacing back and forth in front of Ulrich.

"Yes, well when Fans Hopper erased data from me he forgot one thing...his daughter. Josiane Rochelle Hopper. Of course she changed her name along with her father, but I knew. I knew everything about her. I have, oh I don't know, obsessed over her. I have put all of my time and effort into finding her, and remembering about them. My creator, and his family. When Frans was getting rid of my memmory there was a problem with it. I did not want it to be gone. So I sent a virus after my precious data. There it was stopped and it was pushed into an unknown file that not even I could hack into. Isn't that right Josiane? Once your father realized the problem he couldn't hack into it either." XANA said turning to the small girl. He saw that she was crying. Not like baby bawling, but a saddened, and frightened cry. With silent tears flowing there ever long decent down her beautiful face.

"Yes..." she said softly not looking away from the evil mans face. He smiled. No, not smirked, smiled at her and continued.

"That little bug, had shoved my precious data into the return to the past file. How, I will never know. Since my monsters do not speak I only placed it in the highest position in my army. The Scithesoa was that little virus. And since it is so difficult to kill it was perfect for most of the missions I sent it on. But, when it pushed my memories into the file, it made itself so that whenever someone returned to the past, it would restore a certain tiny ammount of my memmory back. So, once Frans ran away like a coward, four little children discovered the factory. That is when I got my idea. I would create disasters and so on, that would have to make them return to the past. THey didn't know what had happened before or what the conciquences would be. The only evidence that it would be bad was what Hopper left behind. A note saying that everytime you returned to the past that it would make me stronger."

"He was only slightly off in his annalysis. It would in a way make me stronger. But, to whatever setail after he had no idea. So, I created problems and such for them to go back in time. And that I deduce is why Frans sent you Josiane?" he said turning once more to her.

"Y-ye-s!" she cried out hiccuping slightly.

"Your parents sent you because they noticed the stabbing pains in your chests correct?"

"Yes."

"Here is a little background check on Josiane for you. She isn't quite human. More like half of a computer program, and half of a human. Her mother was a normall woman from Maine, and then she met Frans. He told her about what he was creating. A computer program called LYOKO. It was made to be a new millitary combat training, and after two and a half years they got married andhad a little girl. That is when he told his wife about himself and what their child was. Frans used to be part of LYOKO. But, somehow he escaped its firewalls and materialized into the new world. The government then decided to appoint him the position of creating the program. I mean who better to finnish it then something that came from it."

"He then decided, what better than to create monsters, a evil tyrant, and of course the princess that you were supposed to protect. What he made were my army, the computer program you know as Aelita, and...me. The evil tyrant that wanted to always take over the world, and get the girl. But, what the government didn't know was that people have flaws, and when flaws create other things they are bound to have flaws too. And then the flaws, flaws would then make things that didn't exactly quite work out as planned. That is how everything got out of hand."

"When I was created, my original purpose was to create havoc in LYOKO that the trainees would have to stop. Aelita would always be in danger, but she would always help. But, Frans was a flawed program, and insuing that gave LYOKO flaws as well. He made it so that I not only could create havoc in LYOKO, but in the real world as well. Once he realized this, he tried to destroy what had happened. But, I was the evil tyrant remember. So, I wanted to keep it and, you know the rest. Now I only had the memmory of Jo. When Fans left he thought that the world would be okay, but he was wrong. I put my brilliant scheme into action and waited. Sooner or later he would have to send someone here to find out who was helping me, and how. He obviously couldn't send himself, his wife and daughter were the only ones left. He might have sent his wife as a teacher, but how was she going to get close to children? So, he could send his daughter, and she could pose as a student."

"When she came I thought that I was going to explode with enthusiasm. My plan was to be put into action. And most of my memmory had been restored. I waited. Then, when a momment never came, I made one. I admitt, since I had been created by a flaw, that I had flaws. I think I made a mistake in telling you Ulrich. But then again, you probably would have come after her anyways. So, I too her. And now it is time to begin my plan. What I am trying to accomplish is getting out of this place. I want freedom just like Hopper. I want to smell fresh air, and...and get the girl of my dreams. I want a life." XANA finnished. There was silence.

"How do you plan on getting that information?" Ulrich asked starring up puzzled.

"I thought that that would be perfectly clear. Well then, you will just have to wait and see. Josiane my dear, you have two choices. One: You can give up the information I want, or Two: I will have to force it out of you."

Silence again, Josiane was just hanging there by her wrists. She couldn't even look at him, she just watched Ulrich through sparkling eyes. A few more tears splashed there way onto her face before the silence was cut by XANA.

"Well then, that's just too bad. I was hopeing to keep you here. After all you are beautiful, and my programing says that I am supposed to try and get the girl. But, I suppose, my life outside will have to wait a little longer for me." XANA said brushing away a tear with his hand. Josiane didn't cringe, or shudder, or do anything. She just starred over at Ulrich as if it would be the end of the world if she could not watched his frightened form writhing against his bonds.

XANA removed his hand and kicked Ulrich over to the side so he wouldn't get in the way. Then XANA placed himself in front of the large circle and raised his hands up. The bonds were cut and Josiane fell to the ground in a heep. Then XANA encased her hands and feet in a black fog looking stuff. It was almost like water, flowing freely around, but a deadly water. Water that would drown. Then Ulrich remembered his dream. He watched in horror as she was pulled closer to XANA, and the substance creeped up her arms and legs slowly.

"No..." Ulrich said faintly.

The evil tyrant just glanced over with a smirk on his face, "It won't be long now when you are being suffocated by my hate. Yes, this, is my feelings. And right now, I feel hate, jealousy, regret, and...love."

Josiane finally removed her gaze from Ulrich, and turned wondering eyes on her captor, "What?..."

"Since I was only left with the memmory of you, I began to think and wonder, and realize my feelings towards you. You were what kept me going trough all of these years. All I could remember of you was how when you were little, I think around 12 years old, you used to come into LYOKO and talk with Aelita. And, you may not remember this, but you came face to face with me. You wern't terrified like you should have been, you just looked at me. I couldn't even breathe. You, a little girl, and me being a 15 year old program was stopped by you. You had shorter hair back then, shoulder lenght I think." he chuckled, as one of the black feelings creeped up faster than the other three.

"It is really a shame that I have to kill you though. I would have enjoyed a life with you." he said the laughter dying away being instead replaced by regret, "But no one gets in my way, not even the girl of my dreams."

Then all four of the feelings began to grow up her limbs at an alarming rate. But, when her arms, and legs were completely covered it stopped. Then an ear splitting scream rendered the air. Josiane's arms were being twisted up and behind herself. Ulrich yelled and tried getting up, but to no avail. Then the screaming ended. XANA had placed her arms back down after he heard the snap of her arms.

"You demon, you don't deserve a life! What you need is to burn in hell!" Ulrich cried out from the dead ground.

"Me a demon! Ha! Your words mean nothing to me Ulrich Stone, for you don't even have a life yourself! The love of your life regected you, and so you moved onto the next girl who took pity on you! Plus I was programed to be the heartless bad guy in the story!" XANA cried back, growing somehow larger, his red eyes blarring it's blood red color.

Ulrich was in shock, and Josiane was starring through her tears at the two in horror. Then Ulrich was lifted up into the air by the same black substance, the bonds cut away. He then flew through the air towards the slab. SMASH He bounced off, and as he landed on the ground he saw that the base of it had cracked and was becoming unstable. Then Ulrich got a plan of his own.

XANA had turned his attention back onto torturing Josiane, she was now being engulfed fully. Her hand strained and stretched itself towards the love of her life. Her face was then engulfed and her hand twitched and writhed and Ulrich saw the blob shudder in mid air. That was when Ulrich took action.

"Hey XANA I don't know about anyone else, but I think that the only reason that you couldn't figure out how to get out of here was because your too stupid!"

XANA whipped around and grew even larger. The blob turning a red also. It was writhing even more now. Ulrich new he didn't hve much time left now.

"Yeah you heard me you dick-head! You couldn't mterialize anything, even if the directions were right in front of you!"

XANA lost it. He roared as he grew to a new height that was unheard of. Then he launched himself forward with the blob right behind him slowly breaing apart from the loss of concentration. Ulrich was hit head on and the tablet broke off completely. The three of them tumbled over the edge into the fog, Ulrich tried to float his way over to the limp form that was spiraling to their doom, and once he reached her he saw that she was unconcious. He clutched her to himself as they fell. Just then a pain went through his back and when he turned he saw that XANA didn't even look human now, and he had just shot some of his 'feelings' at him. Ulrich kicked out and sent XANA spiraling away.

Then something odd happened. When they broke through the clouds Ulrich saw that they were above not static that would take their lives, but the forest reigion.

"JEREMIE! Are you still there?" Ulrich shouted out to the sky.

"Yeah! What do you need?" the disembodied voice of Jeremie replied.

"Materialize the Over-wing underneath me and Jo!"

"Okay, hold on!"

XANA let out an almighty roar and tried to attack again, but was cut off by another kick. But, not by Ulrich, by Josiane. She was awake, but the strain of her kick caused her to cry out in pain, and pull her arms closer to herself. Just then the Over-wing materialized below them.

"Jo, I am going to have to let go of you for a bit, 'cause if you land along with me it might hurt too much. So, trust me okay?" Ulrich said facing her in mid air.

"Aright, I trust you." she said and smiled her famous smile.

Ulrich floated away from her and landed on the Over-wing. He saw her rocket downwards along with XANA. Then he kicked the Over-wing into gear and rocketed down as well. He saw as he was nearing her that XANA was shooting his 'feelings' at her one after the other. Most of them hitting their mark. Ulrich sped up, and once he was right next to her he unsheathed his sword and blocked XANA's blasts as he pulled Josiane onto the Over-wing.

Once she was safely on he sent his sword spiralling towards the monster that was XANA. It struck him right through his programed heart. Ulrich pulled up just in time for them to safely land on the ground of the forrested area. Josiane jumped off and ran over to the edge, looking down to the static that XANA was flying towards. She saw that he was turning back into himself, and when he was almost there, he reached a hand out towards Josiane, a loving hand. And he smiled up at her. Then, he crashed into the static, and everything was over.

Josiane was still starring over the edge at where there was a black mark. A black mark that would stain that spot for the rest of eternity. Ulrich was standing next to her, and had watched what XANA had done too.

"Jo...let's go home." Ulrich said pulling her towards himself.

"Ulrich, I love you." she said pressing her face into his chest.

"I...I love you too." and he ment it.

They looked into each other's eyes. Her two blue and green eyes, and his amber ones. Then Ulrich placed his hand gently on her cheek, and stroked it with his thumb. He then leaned forward and closed his eyes. Josiane closed hers and leaned forwards slightly. She then tingled all over when she felt Ulrich's lips softly brush against hers. Then she was caught up in an even more passionet kiss. He had his one hand still on her cheek, and the other one was caressing her back.

When they broke apart she smiled, and then without warning fell.

"Josiane! What's wrong?" he said kneeling down next to her.

"It...hurts!" she gasped out as fresh tears cascaded down her face.

"What! What hurts?" he said frantically, looking from her bleeding side to her deformed looking arms.

"It gasp hurts gasp, my h-heart." she said faintly, and then moved no more.

NO!

"Jeremie! Jeremie materialize us NOW!" Ulrich screamed into the air. Tears of his own falling from his eyes.

"Okay! Materialize NOW!" Jeremie said pressing the button.

When the doors opened Ulrich burst through and into the arms of his awaiting friends.

"Which one is she in?" Ulrich said.

"She's in that one."Jeremie said and pointed.

Ulrich rushed over and just as he came to a rest the doors opened. Josiane was standing there as white as a sheet and smiling.

"Hey there you." she said and fell out of the scanner into Ulrichs arms.

"Guys we need to get her to the hospital, and fast, she's lost alot of blood." Ulrich said swiping the feet from under Josiane.

"What's our story?" Odd asked taking his jacket off and placing it over his new friend.

"How about we went looking for her because she went missing after that incident in the gym. And we found her at the bottom of that cliff, with a uh...stick in her side." Yumi stated pushing the button for the elevator to go up.

"Good enough." Ulrich said.

30 minutes later:

"She's fine now, she lost quite a bit of blood, any more and there's a good chance that she might have died. We have set her arms, and put them into casts. She'll have to stay here for a while before she can go back to school though." the doctor said flipping through some papers on the clip board he was holding.

"Thank's doctor." Ulrich said, "You've been a big help."

"No problem, it's my job. If you and your friends would like to go in you can."

"Don't mind if we do there doc." Odd said pushing his way past and opening the door.

Ulrich, Odd, Jeremie, Aelita, and Yumi all entered the room, and saw that their friend was resting peacefully on the bed. With multiple tubes, wires, and computers hooked up to watch her vital signs. Ulrich walked over to the side of the bed and pulled up a chair. Then he reached up and placed his warm hand over her freezing one. Everyone else pulled up chairs around the bed too. And Yumi was watching Ulrich with a strange expression on her face.

"Hey, Ulrich, what uh...happened?" Yumi asked tentatively.

And for an hour and a half Ulrich related the story back to them. He even told them where to find the stain of XANA on the static. He explained it in such detail that there were gasps, and even tears from his audience. When he was done, Odd, Jeremie, and Aelita got up and said that they were going to get some coffe. Ulrich and Yumi were left alone with the sleeping girl between them.

"Um Ulrich, I've been thinking. You know how I said that I didn't like you 'that' way?" Yumi asked.

"Yeah..."Ulrich said quietly.

"Well, I take back everything that I said, and I think that I love you too." Yumi said looking down at the bedspread.

"Oh, Yumi. I was waiting for you to say that."

"Really?" Yumi said looking up in surprise.

"Yes, but the problem is that, I no longer have those feelings for you. Well, the truth is that I love someone else now. Someone who loves me back. She was there when I was put down by you. And I'm sorry but, can we still be friends." Ulrich said.

There was silence, and then Yumi smiled. A bright and genuine smile. "Of course we can still be friends. But, we are going to have to find another hobby besides XANA hunting."

"Your right. We'll think of something sooner or later." Ulrich said looing back at Josiane's hand.

"I'll leave you two alone then." Yumi said and got up tp leave.

But when she had opened the door she turned around and said, "Ulrich, I hope you and Jo are happy together. I mean that. You deserve someone as wonderful as her."

And then she shut the door. Ulrich just sat there smiling, stroking Josiane's hair.

Happily Ever After
