Sorry, I can't seem to fit the jellyfish thing, I will try but no promises. Please enjoy.

Chapter 17: He's back

She shot to see William looking down on her. "Hey there, it's been awhile."

She gets out of her chair and moves away from him. "How are you here?"

"Posted bail, and thanks to this countries legal system I have the rights to speedy trial for the "alleged" attack on you."

"You jerk, you won't slip so easy through the cracks this time," Kristen yelled as he grinned.

"Well, my lawyer might be able to convince a jury that I was having a talk with Yumi and her boyfriend beat me up out of jealousy then made her lie about it. And since the trial will be by the time you head back there won't be anyone to go against it. And it's good to see you again Kristen, and if I can remember, that means Fredi should be nearby."

"And I thought I knew everything that happened around me," Fredi said as he approached the teen. "And by the usual orders of our law you are not supposed to approach the victim. Jail time without bail is the punishment for that."

"What can I say, love makes me do crazy things," he replied smugly. "I can't help it."

"Just go away William; I never want to see you again!" Yumi cried out.

"Come on Yumi, you know that you felt the same way about me, just dump Ulrich and let's get pass this little mess."

"She said to beat it, before I intervene," Fredi replied coldly as the glare in his eyes could scare the hair off a cat.

"Or what; are you going to kill me?" William asked.

"If it wasn't for my sister's last words, I already would have. Now beat it!"

"See you later Yumi," William added before he left, causing Yumi to shake a bit.

"His personality drives from your fear as well, stand up to him next time," Fredi replied as he walked off.

"I think, Fredi won't ever be the same as he was before till he sees that jerk get the justice he deserves."

"I don't get it, what did he mean by his sister's last words?" Yumi asked.

"His sister loved growing plants because she loved life, what she meant by her final words was to make sure that Fredi didn't kill the one who did that to her, because she would never wish for a life to be extinguished, no matter how dark it was," Kristen replied.

Just then, Ulrich walked into the Lobby looking for Yumi, but before he could Sissy came up to him. "Hey Ulrich."

"Hey Sissy, have you seen Yumi?"

"Sorry, I haven't, but I wanted to ask you something. Since the next match is the final one, I was wondering if you would like a massage. It has been awhile since your last one, you must be stressed."

He felt his shoulders. "You might be right; I probably could use a shoulder massage."

She smiled. "No problem, just come wit..."

"Hi Samurai!" Sword Hunter called out from a distance. "That was a nice move you pulled in Lyoko, never saw it coming."

"Thanks, but it was close," Ulrich replied as he then sees Yumi walk up with Kristen.

"Well, you do remember what I said what I would do if you beat me right? I always keep my word."

Right then and there, Sword Hunter pulled Ulrich to her and kissed him right on the lips, causing Sissy and Yumi to be in a complete state of shock.

The kiss was one a minute long but to the girls it seemed like an eternity. Sword Hunter then broke the kiss as Ulrich collapsed on the ground and started to breathe heavily. "Oh, I might have been a little too strong."

She giggled. "What gave you the idea you could do that to him?" Sissy yelled at her.

"Jealous I see, I thought people who came from France could handle a French kiss, guess I was wrong."

"You did what?" Yumi cried out as Ulrich started to get up.

"If you're ever in Transylvania and near Vlad High Samurai, look me up," she then winked at him and walked off to her team.

"What do you think your doing Sword Hunter?" Bloodlust asked.

"Just watch," she replied with a smirk on her face as she held up her hand. "Five, four, three, two, one."

"I can't believe you let her do that!" Sissy yelled.

"So, are you seeing her?" Yumi asked.

"Hey it's not my fault, and no I'm not Yumi I promise."

"You are on thin ice Sword Hunter," Bloodlust replied as the group walked off as well as the girls that were around Ulrich.

Yumi and Kristen are practicing their martial arts in the Gym to help Yumi get some frustration out as Kristen blocked one of Yumi punches and flips her onto the mat. "My nickname at school is Blackbelt for a reason. I think I should have mention that earlier."

"Yeah, I wish you did," Yumi replied as Kristen put out her hand and helped her up.

"So are you angry at Ulrich?" Kristen asked as she made a fighting stance.

"Well I'm not really mad at him, after what happen then seeing Sword Hunter, kiss him. I'm just frustrated that's all," Yumi replied as she too made a fighting stance.

"Well, I hope you get over it soon," Kristen suggested as she blocked a kick from Yumi and flipped her on her back.

"You are good," the girl black said with a smile on her face as she is helped up once again.

"I know, started when I was five to impress my next door neighbor who was also taking it, I kind of had a crush on him," Blackbelt said as she started to blush.

"Did it work out?"

A sad look consumed the girl's face. "I have a horrible time trying to confess stuff like that, and when I finally got the courage to tell him, something tragic happened."

Then a shocked look came over her face. "No way, you have a crush on Fre..."

But before Yumi could finish, Kristen covered Yumi's mouth and looked around. "Don't say that aloud, you know how he always seems to know what is going on around him."

She released her hand as Yumi took a breath. "Well if he knows everything around him, he probably knows that as well."

"I could never tell with him, it doesn't look like he does but I wouldn't be shocked if he did," she then looked at the clock on the wall. "Wow, it's gotten late, I got to meet with my team for dinner. Hope for a good match tomorrow."

"You too, night."

"Night."

Kristen walked out of the Gym as Yumi walked over to get her shoes and socks. She sat down on the bench and slipped them on.

I'm going to have to go to bed early tonight; tomorrow's match is going to be a tough one.

As soon as she finished, she turned around and was shocked to see William leaning his back to the wall on the other side of the room. "Leave me alone!"

"Come on Yumi, can't we just have a little chat, to clean up this misunderstanding of what you "think" happened," he replied as he started to move away from the wall.

She backed away. "I know what you did, so leave me alone before I have to show you why."

But he didn't stop. "Come on Yumi, I have done so much for you, why do you have to be like this?"

She threw a punch at him, but he was able to grab her wrist and has her pinned to the wall. "Let me go!"

"Why did you have to still be devoted to Ulrich when I was with you, I was always there for you!"

"Just let go of me!" she kept screaming, but no one could hear it outside of the deserted gym.

"Funny, that's what Jasmine said, before she took a trip, maybe you should as well to teach you a lesson."

"I don't think she will be doing that anytime soon," a voice from behind said as they both saw Ulrich at the entrance as he holding a tape recorder. "And thanks, that confession of yours will be very helpful."

William then threw Yumi to the side, making her body hit the wall. "Yumi!" Ulrich said as he raced to her but William was able to sucker punch Ulrich.

"Go ahead, turn that in. Thanks to Double Jeopardy I can't be convicted for Jasmine's death again after being acquitted."

Ulrich got up. "I didn't mean that, I meant for threatening Yumi."

William got a shocked look on his face. "I bet a jury would love to hear what is on it."

William then picked up a weight pole. "Too bad they will never hear it."

Then right before William swung the weapon, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned his head to see Yumi glaring at him.

"Here is my thanks for the time we spent together," she said, then swung her fist right at his face and he fell to the ground (can I hear a "GO YUMI?).

She then ran to Ulrich and wrapped her arms around him. "Ulrich."

"So, I'm guessing you're not mad at me anymore," he joked in a weak tone of voice.

"Come on, let's go call the police to get him out of here," the girl said as they walked out of the gym.

After once again William being taking into custody, it is the next day at the Lyoko Stadium; the seats are packed as the Announcer got his hand on the microphone. "What a great season it has been for the Lyoko World Championship, am I right?"

The crowd cheered. "That's what I like to here, now to announce the two final teams for this unforgettable season. If this wasn't a shock, to my right, last year's championship winners, Team Project!"

From the hallway, the team emerges as the crowd cheers once again. "And, the team that was the Underdog's for this season, they lost their first match but rose through the ranks and now is here today to face off for the Lyoko Trophy. Let me hear it, for on my left, Team Kiwi!"

The team walked out of the hallway, they could hear all of the praises they were getting as they walked up to their positions.

"Now, let's make this a match for the record books! Am I right?"

The cheers get even louder as the controllers sit at their computers and the others head to the pods. "Now ready!"

"Scanning."

"Get set."

"Transfer."

"GO!"

"VIRTUALZATION!"
