Chapter 4

The skipizowa slowly picked up Aelita, and the brain draining commenced. Ulrich started to race towards her, but a dagger zoomed over his head. He turned around to see the girl he fought earlier.

"I'm sorry to inform you, but I can not allow you to save her." She said raising another dagger.

Odd rushed out of the elevator. "Well? How's it going?"

"Not so good." Jeremy shook his head as the screen for Aelita's memory popped up. A buzzing noise appeared and a picture of yumi popped up with a cellphone. "Yumi!"

Yumi slowly opened her eyes.

"Ugh… What just happened?" She gasped, remembering and sat up. She was bound and in a storage room. She could see the outline of someone in the corner of the room.

"H-Hiroshi?" The boy turned around and looked at her. The mark in his eyes mocking her. He raised a hand at her and an electric shock shot out towards her.

"Ah!" Was all she let out before flying into the wall. Her cell phone fell out next to her. She lay there for awhile, pretending to be out. The XANA posessed Hiroshi seemed to believe her and left the storage room, locking it behind him.

She waited a few minutes and nudged at her phone. She pushed a few buttons with her nose and laid on it so she could hear and talk. A moment later Jeremy's voice echoed through the phone.

"Yumi! Are you alright?"

"In a sense… I'm locked up in a storage room in Japan. I feel kind of strange, but I think that's just from the electric shock Hiroshi shot at me. XANA's posessed my family!" She yelled into the phone.

"Uhg- don't worry. Ulrich and Aelita are on Lyoko as we speak. You'll be back at the beginning of this day in no time."

"I hope so. Bye." She nudged the phone off and saw her family walk in. The staff behind them were also posessed.

Her father came over and held her. Yumi struggled to get free. A nurse came over holding a needle. Yumi's eyes widened.

"Ah! Let go! No!" She screamed, struggling harder than ever.

Jeremy sighed relieved. "Ulrich! I just heard from Yumi. She's alright for now. Hurry up and help Aelita!" He yelled into the head piece.

Ulrich grinned. "Hear that? I've got a something to do and I have no time for you!" He threw a rock at the girl.

"What the-!" She dodged quickly and fell to the ground.

Ulrich turned back to Aelita. "Super Sprint!" He yelled and ran, his speed picking up as he ran as fast as he could. He jumped withen inched of Aelita, quickly slicing at the Skipizowa's tenticles. The girl jumped up and saw Ulrich. "Oh no you won't!" She called after him, throwing a few daggers at him.

"Aelita! Hurry!" He yelled, as two daggers hit him in the back. He devirtualized before he could hit the ground. Aelita quickling walked into the tower.

The girl sighed and then realized something. "Oh no! I've got to stop her!" She aid, running to the tower.

Aelita entered the middle and rose to the second level and the mysterious girl reached the tower. She opened her arms and slowly entered the tower.

Aelita reached the second level and placed her hand on a screen. Her name flashed. Then it was replaced with the word 'CODE'. She typed in Lyoko just as the strange girl made it the the middle.

"Tower deactivated." She said.

Jeremy pressed a key. "Return to the past now." He said as a flash of light emerged from the center and engulfed the world.

An alarm went off and Ulrich sat up. He sat up and turned off the alarm. He jumped up and put on his clothes. Odd sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Ulrich? What time is it? Did I sleep in that late?" Odd asked.

Ulrich pulled his pants up. "It's 6:00."

"In the morning? I'm up on time, you mean! Hey, aren't you going to take a shower?" Odd got out of the bed and faced Ulrich.

"Not this morning." He replied.

"Ewww! That's so nasty, Ulrich!" Odd cried, throwing a pillow at Ulrich's face.

Ulrich grabbed the pillow and tossed it back. "Oh, calm down. I just want to visit Yumi and make sure she's alirght. It was her family that was posessed. I'll be back for school, don't worry." He said as he left the room.

Odd sighed. "Yeah, sure. Now I've got so much extra time, it's not funny." He replied to himself and fell onto the bed, face first. Kiwi came up to him and laid on his head.

Yumi sat up in her bed. She rubbed her arm, where the nurse had injected her with something.

"I wonder what XANA tried to do to me." She said to herself. She got out of her bed and dressed.

"Yumi, dear! Are you up? There's a friend here for you." Her mother yelled up.

Yumi ran out of her room and down the stairs into her mother's arm. "Mom!"

"Yumi? Are you alright? Is something bothering you?" Her mother asked, concerned.

Yumi shook her head and smiled she ran out and hugged her dad and Hiroshi. "I love you both so much!"

Hiroshi struggled. "Eww! Gross! Let go! Let go! Coooties!" He cried and raced up to his room.

Yumi giggled and went out to the door. "Ulrich? Well, why are you here?"

Ulrich stepped into the house. "I just wanted to make sure you were doing alright and everything." He rsponded.

Yumi smiled. "I'll be fine- Uh!" She cletched her chest and fell to her knee.

"Yumi! What's wrong?" Ulich panicked.

Yumi shook her head and stood. "I- I don't know. It's just a chest pain. I'll be fine."
