And then I saw the forth. And his mastery over mechanics. He would be hunted by the king of spirits and would vanquish the lord of skills, Nebuchednezzer.

That guy happens to be one of my OCs doesn't exist yet. He won't exist until book three so. . . ya.

I only own Vella and the plot. . . after 24 times I think they should get the point.

And now for the story. Yumi's POV.

"Is it just me, or is Jeremy gone," Odd asked getting up after the chains had been broken. Ulrich stared angrily at him.

"Odd this is no time for jokes," he yelled back.

"Sorry." I walked over to Aelita's oddly preserved body. "Is she dead," Odd asked.

"No, Jeremy just had a temper tantrum for nothing, WHAT DO YOU THINK," Ulrich shouted.

"Ya know, your kinda grumpy," Will stated taking a look at Aelita. "Maybe I could reverse time around he, that should bring her back," Will declared. He held out his hands and began to move time backwards. Unfortunately X.A.N.A. had made sure to put a powerful anti-chronol charm on her. This caused Aelita's body to bring back the energy that Will had put into her and focus it into a beam that shot him up in the air. He landed shortly after that. "That was not fun. . .at all."

"Great, so we can't do that either," Ulrich yelled. He really was kind of angry.

"Dude you need to chill out, we'll find a way," Sokka said trying to comfort Ulrich. That as well didn't work.

"There is no way. Jeremy's gone and Aelita's dead. Turning Lyoko on was the biggest mistake we ever made," Ulrich screamed back at him. There seemed to be no way to ease him. It didn't make any sense, why was he so mad. An explosion rumbled the ocean as a cloud of dust appeared on the horizon.

"What was that," I asked. Will stood up holding his hands to his head.

"Survey says. . . Souzen's comet," Will answered. "Ah crud, that's what ends all life. Hide me, someone. . . anyone," Will said panicking trying to hide behind Zuko.

"Get a grip," Zuko yelled. Apparently he wasn't to happy about Will using him as a human shield.

"Yes young William, get a grip," a soothing voice said ringing out all over the damaged ship.

"Vella," I cried. If anyone could save us it would be her. "You're still here."

"But of course young Yumi. Now go quickly back to your world, take your weapons, the fight against the dark one is not yet over," she said soothingly. I couldn't believe it. She had just said that X.A.N.A. was still alive.

"Listen old lady, no one could survive that kind of fire, and trust me, I know fire," Zuko yelled at her. Her eyes began to glow as seaweed sprung out of the sea and began to tangle themselves around Zuko.

"You know what only a mortal can know. Not even I know how he lives. Only Clockwork knows that. Now quickly, Yumi, Odd, Ulrich, return to your world," she stated serenely.

"But what about the others," I asked wondering what would become of Jeremy or Aelita, or even all the people I had met in this world.

"Trust me, all shall be as is," she cryptically stated.

"What," I asked confused?

"There is no time, I will explain everything in time," she yelled blocking a powerful cloud of dust that had already reached us. "Go now." I knew that there was no more time for questions I stepped through the portal. I was knocked out for a moment but then the iron ship, the cloud of dust, they were gone. Then Ulrich and Odd fell through the portal as well. Back in the factory, only without Lyoko. "I see you have returned," a voice calmly stated hovering down from a shaft on the roof. I turned around to see Vella.

"Vella, but how, that was a long time and-and," I stuttered as Vella held up her hand.

"I am immortal," she answered. Odd slowly got up rubbing his head.

"Hey Odd if you're looking for a brain it's still not there," Ulrich said not seeing Vella. He of all people needed comic relief.

"Hey, that's not true," Odd countered. Even Vella must have known it was a sad counter.

"Excuse me," Vella yelled with authority.

"Shouldn't you be like really old," Odd asked. Vella sighed.

"I am immortal," she repeated. Odd looked stunned. "That however is not the news I bring you," she yelled. It seemed heavenly.

"What is it," I asked. "And what happened to the others."

"I cannot reveal all to you however I can tell you what became of Jeremy and Aelita," she said. This got all of our attentions, even Odd's. "Jeremy will reveal his now weak essence in due time. He will be the Jeremy that you once knew," she stated. All of us were really happy at that.

"And what became of Aelita, well let's say that Clockwork has his ways," she conveyed and no sooner did a portal open. And out stepped none other than Aelita.

"How," we all asked at once.

"Clockwork managed to save a hair before she died, then I came back before you found Lyoko. . . around 2000 BC then-," Vella stated before being cut off.

"Wow, did you just say in 2000 BC," Ulrich asked.

"Why yes, you see after Jeremy left you he discovered that his wounds would eventually kill him. So he built Lyoko some time around 8000 BC. Then he injected his mind into Lyoko, by then X.A.N.A. had taken control of him."

"Wait, isn't Jeremy X.A.N.A.," I asked.

"No, Jeremy is a vessel that X.A.N.A. used to gain safe passage to this world. X.A.N.A. took route in Jeremy's body but alias I can say no more of him," she cried out turning her head to me. "Aelita was brought back through Lyoko."

"One question. Where did Aelita come from," Ulrich asked. Vella slowly nodded her head.

"To this day, not even Clockwork knows," she answered opening another portal. "I have altered your teacher's minds and Clockwork has altered time. In this reality you were gone for a mere second, and they believe Jeremy was killed when he was kidnaped."

"Here's my last question," I started.

"Yes Yumi," she replied.

"What are you," I asked?

"Mother Nature," she answered stepping in the portal. And like that she was gone. It was back to being just the five, or now four of us. The question was, if Jeremy was dead, how could he reveal himself.

So what happened to all the Avatar characters. That will be told in the next and final chapter of this story. Please review, I know you can make it, you're so close. here's more of the Prophesy. and then I saw them, not one but two. one half demon and the other half ghost, and together they would take out the great evil itself, X.a.n.a.d.u.
