Retribution

Chapter VI

Ulrich's decision

Aaaaaaaaagh! So many thoughts! My head hurts! Do I avenge the village without a second thought, or do I give them a second chance? THEY MUST PAY! NO! They didn't know! THEY COULD'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY STORMED THE VILLAGE! I doubt they'd think that way... THEN THEY MUST DIE FOR THEIR IGNORANCE! NO! They are my friends! THEY ARE GUILTY! At that moment, Ulrich's mind became as its own room. Fog rolled along the floor dramatically as Classic Ulrich conversed with Ghost Rider Ulrich.

"We must make them pay!"

"You are obsessed with payback."

"And...?"

"I'm more mature than that. Revenge is wrong."

"It's not revenge. It's justice!"

"You are a childish brat, you know that!"

"Silence, mortal!"

"No, you shut up! This is my life, and I'll live it the way I

want to!"

That's when Ulrich's mind returned to the real world... er, the virtual world... the world, DAMMIT! Ulrich returned to his human form (his Lyoko form, rather) and said, "No. There is a civilized way to solve this, I just don't know one." That's when Odd said,"Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!" Leroy freaked out. "Odd knows something! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLDS!" As everyone else but Odd ducked, Ulrich was thinking. Then, it came to him. "AHA! I got it! In exchange for a truce between our kinds, we shall make sure that Odd knows no more than necessary!" Leroy looked up from his duck-and-cover position and asked, "How the HELL will that work!"

After hours of Leroy manipulating the digital world, everyone was happy. Almost everyone was enjoying a sumptuous banquet at Leroy's table. It was beautiful. The gang was learning the language of Hun'dara (monster language) and were exchanging jokes with monsters. Leroy and Ulrich were having an eating contest, and the women were trading... ahem... advice. "Do you think Odd's enjoying himself?" asked X.A.N.A. OOPS! Sorry, Leroy. "No offense taken, O mighty author." said Leroy. "Yeah, he is," replied Ulrich. "Yes, he is..."

In a room in the digital void, Odd was playing Soul Caliber 3 on Playstation 2 while simultaneously eating from his unlimited supply of pizza and watching T.V. on a separate T.V.

Leroy then asked, "What will his parents think?" Aelita then said, "We'll just tell 'em that Odd eloped with an eggplant named Julia!" Leroy mulled that over for a minute, then said, "Yep. That'll do it."

A/N: That's it! WOOHOO! My first completed story! I wonder what Lord Maximus will think of this ending. If you want more, just say the word! Please, R&R!
