Warning: This chapter has a little extra violence and gore in it. Though it may not be much it is still there. I am keeping the PG rating, but if I get complaints I will either have to change the chapter or change the rating, and I will most like change the rating.

Sudden Changes: A drastic need…
Yumi:

We had entered a battle with X.A.N.A.'s monsters. The monsters had, like everything else, changed. They were more realistic now. They looked more alive and moved as though they were more alive. They also attacked as though they were fighting for their lives…

Currently we had just begun the battle, we had been attacked and Jeremie had deflected it back onto one of the monsters. After that all hell broke loose. The monsters were attacking left and right. We were doing our best to dodge, and so far we had succeeded. We hadn't gotten hurt once.

The down side was that neither had they. None of our team had figured out how to attack yet. Ulrich had been able to do so once but he was finding it difficult to do so now. Odd and I weren't having much luck figuring out how to use our old weapons, being in a new body we couldn't find them. Jeremie and Sissi were new to Lyoko, and they didn't know what their weapons were anyway. As for Aelita, she had never had something to fight back with, so she was stuck.

Suddenly Odd came up with an idea. He ran out into the fire and began jumping on top of the monsters. The others fired at him and ended up hitting their fellow monsters. As we watched and expected them to explode as they usually did we suddenly realized that all of Lyoko was more real. That meant that the monsters would not be easy to defeat.

Once Odd realized this he made an attempt to come back. He jumped from one head to the next narrowly missing being hit. As soon as he was another two jumps until he would reach us a roachster managed to hit him. We heard a cry of pain as he fell back and landed in a circle of the monsters.

"I'm going in." Ulrich said. "Yumi, get him out of there with your telekinesis. Triplicate!"

The three Ulrich's ran into the crowed of monsters and began doing everything they could to attack them. We heard Odd scream in pain and saw Ulrich get extremely angry. He suddenly began using martial arts moves on the monsters, and as he did so a sward appeared in his hand.

"Now this is more like it." We heard him say.

I focused on Odd and began lifting him out of the group of monsters. I sensed that he was already badly hurt. I worked as quickly as I could to get him out of there as fast as I could. I lifted him above the monsters and moved him over to us. I then placed him on the ground between us.

We now had a good look at him, and we were shocked. He was bleeding, and badly. I had never seen blood in Lyoko before, and never this bad in my life. We had to do something or Odd might die. The thing was I couldn't think of anything to do, one of my best friends was going to die and I could think of nothing.

I could feel rage boiling up within me. My hands began to shake as I got up and looked at the monsters. I felt my rage begin to peak as I watched Ulrich try to destroy the monsters and fail just as Odd had. As my rage boiled I felt my telekinetic power leap dramatically. I focused my rage on one of the monsters and the space around it began to change. The block began to vibrate madly as it was squished by a special anomaly that had appeared around it. Suddenly the block imploded spewing greenish red blood everywhere.

I focused my attention on a hornet. The monster began to spin extremely fast clockwise. As it spun it began to compress inward into a fine thread leaking a bluish green blood. Another hornet flew near it and began to be sucked into the vortex that I was creating. It squished just as easily as the other one had.

I focused on a megatank. Its sides began to spin in opposite directions and they ripped off. I then threw the sides on to a roachster and crushed it. Lifting the sides I threw them around another hornet and enclosed the hornet in the sides of the megatank. I then shook the sides smashing the hornet into a small ball. When I opened the ball that the megatank's sides made black and green blood poured out.

By now Ulrich had stopped fighting. He was damaged but not as badly as Odd. He watched what was happening and then looked at me.

"Yumi, stop! This isn't like you!" Ulrich yelled.

I couldn't stop; the rage was burning furiously inside of me. I felt as though I were about to burst into flames. As the feeling continued fire like light erupted around me. I felt a breeze as the air was drawn towards the fire. The wind should have put it out, or at least cooled me off, but it only made it worse.

Suddenly the flames turned black. I could feel myself being lifted into the air, but I no longer had any control. A burst of the energy flew not three feet away from where Ulrich was standing and hit a block. The block caught on fire and began moving around desperately trying to put itself out until it fell to the ground and stopped moving.

The fire around me extended, and as it did the night grew darker. I didn't know if I was causing the darkness or if it was just that the sun had set, but it was becoming darker than night. The fire erupted sending waves at all the monsters erupting them in dark flames and throwing them into darkness. The flames nearly didn't distinguish between friend and foe, nearly hitting my friends many times.

"She's lost control!" I just barely was able to make out Jeremie's voice. "We have to do something or she will destroy everything, including us."

"How do you expect we stop that?" I heard Sissi say.

"I'll do it!" Ulrich said.

"WHAT! Ulrich dear, you can't be serious, she'll kill you!" Sissi retorted.

"You have a better idea?" Ulrich yelled at her. "I'm the only one who can reach her now…"

"He's right." I heard a voice say. I didn't recognize the voice at first. It wasn't one of my friends'.

Suddenly I saw a bright light appear in the sky in front of me. I couldn't tell what it was at first. It appeared to be humanoid but it had wings three tails and was covered in golden green fur. It almost looked like a dog that had been mutated into a human, or to be more precise a werewolf. The long mouth and pointed ears, along with bulky arm and leg mussels and sharp claws really fit the image.

"Ulrich, listen to me. I warned you not to get her too angry. She has lost all control of her emotions and rage has consumed her. If you can't reach her all of Lyoko, and earth, will be destroyed. And if you can't reach her, and stop her, I will have to. Believe me, you don't want that…"

"I already said that I would do it, you don't have to encourage me!" Ulrich said. "Now, you started this, how do I reach her?"

"Open your heart and mind. You are all connected here. If you feel something then the one you direct it to will feel it as well."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Ulrich asked.

"Watch your mouth, this is supposed to be PG…" said the voice. "You will understand in a moment…"

Suddenly another bright light appeared. This time I saw Ulrich, but he had wings… and looked a lot more like an angel than a living person. He saw me and started moving to me. As he came closer some of the rage dissipated and I began feeling an overwhelming sensation of love…

So, how was it. Please give your opinions. They are much appreciated and valued...
