I don't own these charicters.
Jeremy, Ulrich, and Yumi watched as the ambulance pulled away from the school. Yumi had showed up when she heard the sirens.
The threesome walked slowly up the stairs to their respective classrooms. None of them wanted to face the day for a third time, especially knowing that Odd was on his way to the hospital. Jeremy spoke first. "You know the reason Xana's doing this, don't you?" he continued without stopping, knowing that they had no clue what he was talking about. "It's because he's the piece. Like in that game we used to play when we were little-Janga? You know, with all the pieces and you had to take one block out of the tower." Jeremy was mostly speaking to himself now, but the other two were listening intently. "But there was always that one piece that you couldn't take out, or else the whole tower would fall."
Jeremy looked up at his friends. "Odd's that piece."
Yumi's eyes lit up with sudden comprehension. "You're right. You're absolutely right."
Ulrich nodded. If there was one person the little group couldn't survive without, it was Odd. He was the heartbeat of the team. And Xana knew it.
"We have to figure out where he's going to strike next!" Ulrich hit a nearby wall, ignoring the pain that immediately came in his arm.
Jeremy's face turned white. His laptop had just emitted a high noise. The alert that Xana was on the loose again. "I know where it is." He whispered. "The ambulance."
Yumi groaned. "The one that Odd's in? Are you sure?"
Jeremy nodded sagely. "Positive."
"Where's he getting all this power?" Ulrich mused.
Jeremy was already running towards the woods. "Who cares? We have to stop Xana, before he finds Odd."
With this ominous warning, the three friends raced for the woods.
