Hey guys! Thank you for those reviews! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! There should be 2 chapters left now, unless of course the next one is longer than I expect it to be. But this chapter is definitely the conclusion of the Xana attack. Please review!

Chaos had passed over the auditorium. The fire hadn't spread far yet because of the size of the building, but the kids wouldn't be lucky for too long. Fire had already spread to the high ceiling above their heads, and there was no way out. Every door was locked, and the windows were unbreakable.

Ulrich and William were both working together to try and take charge of the situation while Yumi tried to calm some of the younger kids down. She sat between Milly and Tamia, with one arm around each girl's shoulders in as comforting of a hug as she could offer. Milly was crying hysterically. "We're going to die," she sobbed.

"No," Yumi said firmly. "We'll all be alright. We just need to stay as far away from the fire as we can until help comes."

"But the whole building will be on fire!" Tamia argued.

"And the smoke is going to fill the room up soon," Milly said. "We'll all suffocate!"

"Help will come before that happens!" Yumi told them. She sighed and looked around for her boyfriend, but saw only William in her view looking for a way out. She patted Milly on the back before jogging over to the boy. Suddenly, Milly's smoke comment began to make a lot more sense. William was closer to the fire, and as she came nearer to him, smoke was filling the air around them. She covered her mouth and nose with her hand as best as she could. "William! Have you found anything yet?"

"No," William told her dejectedly. "It's like there's some kind of force-field on everything. And even if we could get the doors open, they're too hot to touch. We're going to have to-"

"YUMI WATCH OUT!" a voice shouted as a loud crackling noise filled the air from above her. Yumi looked up to see that she was about to be crushed by a piece of ceiling that was falling, but someone pushed her out of the way just in time.

"Yumi?" William asked as he pulled her to her feet.

Yumi didn't respond while she looked behind her at where she'd just been standing to see her boyfriend trapped beneath the fallen debris. "Ulrich!"

Odd had never been so thankful for transportation ever in his life. As tired as he was, there was no way he could run around Lyoko without his Overboard. Aelita held onto him tightly as they tried to escape the two hornets that were shooting at them. Every now and then, Odd would shoot an arrow at one, but he was directing most of the very little energy he had to dodging their lasers.

"You guys need to hurry up!" Jeremie's voice said. "I've been trying to call Ulrich and Yumi, but neither of them is answering. I'm afraid something bad has happened!"

"We're almost at the tower," Aelita said. "This is almost too easy though, especially considering the shape that Odd is in. The Scipizoa isn't nearby is it?"

"No," Jeremie told her. "I think Xana has put way too much energy into possessing so many people that he wasn't focused on getting you. He's just trying to kill as many people as possible."

"Then this should be over in no time," Odd said.

"Spoke too soon. Two Krabes were virtualized in front of the tower!"

Odd turned to Aelita. "Looks like you've got the Overboard," he told her. "Don't worry. I've got you covered."

As they got to the tower, Odd did a flip off of his vehicle and landed on all fours just in front of the Krabes. Aelita, circled the top of the tower, waiting for the path to her entrance to be cleared. Odd dodged a laser from one of the hornets before standing directly between the hornets and a Krabe. After waiting just enough time for the Krabe's laser to charge up, he jumped out of the way, allowing the Krabe to destroy both hornets in on shot. "Two down, two to go," Odd said to himself.

He aimed an arrow at the Krabe, but the laser of the other hit him before he shot.

"Odd, that took fifty life points!" Jeremie exclaimed. "You're much too vulnerable right now. One hit and you're done."

"Ulrich, are you ok?" Yumi asked frantically, grabbing his hand while William and a couple of other kids pulled the debris off of him.

Blood was dripping from a huge gash in the side of Ulrich's head, and he was trapped from his mid-back down. He opened his eyes slightly and groaned. "Yumi…"

"I'm right here," Yumi told him as she kissed his cheek gently. She pulled away and saw his eyes begin to fall shut. "Stay awake, Ulrich. Okay? You can't sleep."

"I love you Yumi," Ulrich mumbled.

Tears filled Yumi's eyes and she squeezed his hand tighter. "I love you too," she whispered. "Why did you have to push me out of the way and get yourself hurt? Oh Ulrich…" She began to cough from inhaling so much smoke. She looked around and noticed that the fire was surrounding everyone now. She quickly looked back at her boyfriend. "Does is hurt?"

Ulrich smirked a bit. "I'm… fine…"

Yumi remained silent as the boys finally heaved the last large piece of wood and plaster off of him. He was a bloody mess, and Yumi figured he had more than a few broken bones. "Ulrich!" she shouted as his eyes shut. "Stay awake! Damn it! Stay with me… please…"

But it was no use yelling for him. He'd lost consciousness.

"Think of something, you idiot," Odd said quietly to himself while shooting arrows at both of the monsters randomly. Just as he was about to give up, Aelita came down low enough for him to jump onto the board and dropped him on top of a Krabe. "Laser arrow!" he cried as he shot it right on target.

Odd jumped off when it exploded and aimed at the other. "Now, Aelita!"

Aelita jumped off of the Overboard and ran into the tower quickly, just as the Krabe hit Odd and de-virtualized him.

Odd fell out of the scanner, into Sissi's arms. He was so tired, and his chest hurt pretty badly. "Odd?" Sissi asked. "What happened?"

"It doesn't matter," he said without bothering to straighten up. "You won't remember it anyway."

Just then, a white light engulfed everything.

Sissi was once again lying in her bed, but this time she wasn't sulking. She was utterly confused as to how she'd gotten there from the Factory. A knock at her door once again told her of Yumi's arrival and she opened the door. "Ishiyama," she said seriously. "What happened? How did I get here? How'd you get out of the auditorium?"

Yumi's eyes went wide in shock. "You… You remember?" she asked.

Sissi gave her a strange look, but then realization dawned on her. "Wait… did we just have a… a… what do you call it? 'Return to the past?'"

"Yea," Yumi said slowly. "But… you don't normally remember those… Did you go to Lyoko Sissi?"

Sissi shook her head. "What the hell is going on?" Yumi muttered. "Sissi we need to go talk to Jeremie, now."

"Did he make me remember this?" Sissi asked in confusion.

"Let's just go," Yumi told her as she led her off to Jeremie's room. She banged on the door loudly. "Jeremie open up!"

The door opened, to reveal Jeremie and Aelita just as the time before. "What's going on?" Jeremie asked as Yumi entered and pulled Sissi in with her.

"She remembers," Yumi said, as if accusing Sissi of a crime.

Jeremie and Aelita both looked shock. "You remember?" Jeremie asked her.

Sissi nodded. "I remember."

"How could this happen?" Yumi asked the blonde boy.

"The return trip didn't work properly," Jeremie said as he looked Sissi up and down, as if he was preparing to cross-examine her. "But I think she's the only extra person who remembered. I wonder if anything else didn't revert properly."

"Oh no," Sissi gasped suddenly as she thought about what happened just before the return. "Odd!" Without an explanation, she ran towards Odd's bedroom, with the other three in tow behind her. She opened his door without even bothering to knock and was horrified at what she saw.

Odd was on his side in bed breathing in forced breaths. His hand was grasping at his chest in pain that his face clearly conveyed to them. The four kids all ran straight to his side. Sissi knelt beside Odd and put her hand on his shoulder. "Odd?" she said fearfully.

Odd looked at Sissi through pained eyes. "It hurts so bad," he gasped.

Sissi ran her fingers through his hair in, what she hoped was, a soothing way. "It's going to be ok," she whispered.

"I'm calling an ambulance," Aelita said as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed.

Yumi sat beside Odd and grabbed his free hand. "You'll be alright," she tried to assure him.

Odd looked at her guiltily. "Yumi," he said softly. "Ulrich... He was here… before… He should be here."

Jeremie's and Yumi's eyes widened. "Oh no, Jeremie… Do you think…?"

"You were stuck in the auditorium, right?" Jeremie asked, receiving a small nod in response. "Ok. Let's go check there. Aelita, you and Sissi get Odd in his wheelchair and to the infirmary so that the paramedics can get him from there."

"Alright Jeremie," Aelita said, while still on the phone.

"Let's go," Yumi said. She ran off with Jeremie beside her to the auditorium.

"Were either of you hurt before the return trip?" Jeremie asked.

"Yes," Yumi told him. "Part of the ceiling fell on Ulrich, and he was knocked unconscious just before the return. He was pretty messed up, but I'm sure he was still alive…"

Jeremie nodded and they ran faster. When they got to the auditorium they found the first set of doors they tried were locked. "Damn it!" Yumi cursed angrily before they ran to the other set of doors.

Jeremie pulled on the door, and it opened up, revealing a very dim room. Yumi ran in and gasped. "Ulrich!"

When Jeremie got in, he saw Yumi holding Ulrich's limp form, but nothing appeared to be wrong with him besides that he looked like he was sleeping. Jeremie checked the boy's pulse and was very happy to find a faint one.

"Ulrich wake up." Yumi said desperately. "Please wake up."

"We need to get him to the infirmary," Jeremie said as he helped her pull Ulrich up. Each of them slung one of Ulrich's arms over their shoulders and dragged him away.

Yumi stared at Ulrich's face the entire way, praying for him to open his eyes. "Don't worry Ulrich," she whispered, more to herself than to him. "It's all going to be alright."
