Continued From Before... (Ch. 14)

Ulrick burst threw the door of Jeremy's room, where him and Od were talking to Aelita. "Jeremy! Od! Aelita! We have to do something, Yumi has just been taken by Yuki. What will we do?" Ulrick said, flopping on the bed to catch his breath.

Jeremy jumped up from the computer, "I guess we'll have to go to LYOKO. We have no other choice." He said. "Aelita, we will be there in a few minutes."

"Ok Jeremy. Bye now." Aelita said in return.

Od, Jeremy, and Ulrick slid down the ladder to the sewer. Od and Ulrick grabbed their skateboards, as Jeremy took his scooter. When they got to the factory Jeremy stopped at the control room as Od and Ulrick were sent to the virtualization room.

Jeremy started typing in the coordinates, "Now I sent you to the ice regain, cause that's were Aelita is." He told the other two after they had been virtualized. Ulrick and Od walked towards the tower that Aelita had just walked out of.

"Hi you guys. What are we going to do to find Yumi?" she asked. Od and Ulrick looked at one other and shrugged.

"Do you think Yuki could have put her in a guardian?" Ulrick asked. "That has happened before to both you and Yumi." He stated.

"Yes I know, but how are we to find her if she is or even if she isn't?" Aelita said with a bitter tone.

"I don't know, I am just trying to give idea's!" Ulrick snapped at her. Aelita looked hurt by his words, but didn't say anything.

"Fine, lets just walked around and search for her then, if that will be better." She said turning on her heel and walking away. Od followed her. Ulrick stayed behind for a little bit. 'Great! Now she is mad at me. Damnit! Why can't I just keep my mouth shut?' he wondered to himself. He ran to catch up with the others.

Just then, a laser shot at Ulrick. Ulrick jumped out of the way just in time. As he turned around he saw in the distance, that there was a whole army of monsters slowly coming at them, and Yuki was guiding them.

Ulrick ran to Od and Aelita, "Get down Aelita! Od, get ready to fight! There's an army of monsters coming this way with Yuki in the lead." He said pulling his sword out. Aelita ran behind an ice boulder as Od grabbed his arrow arm. The monsters came so slowly it seemed like forever before they came near them.

"Why, hello there little ones. What brings you here?" Yuki sat on his hind legs, not threatened by them at all. "Did you come here to rescue your little girlfriend?" he said looking at Ulrick. "You'll never find that uhhhh...painful thing." He said as he touched a spot on his head and flinched.

Ulrick tightened his grip on his sword. "Don't say that about Yumi." He said with clenched teeth. He saw a small bump where Yuki had touched his head and figured Yumi must have hit him. He also noticed a few scrapes and teeth marks on his arms and paws. he smiled and relaxed, "I see you have had some difficulties with Yumi." He said, gesturing to the bites.

Yuki frowned and glanced down at them. "Yes, there was a bit of a mishap, but trust me, I took care of it." He said, smiling again. It was enough to make Ulrick's blood boil. So much that he swung his sword over his head and jumped at Yuki. Yuki glanced at him and in one swift gesture, swept Ulrick out of the air and onto the ground. "Do you still think that you could beat me?" he said, pressing his paw on Ulrick's throat.

"LASER ARROW!" one of Od's arrows shot threw the air and landed in the arm that was choking Ulrick. Yuki jumped back, screaming in pain. Ulrick pulled himself to his feet and charged at Yuki with his sword raised high.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ulrick brought his sword down on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki dropped to the ground, breathing hard. The monsters that had been watching quietly, all charged at them at full speed. Ulrick and Od prepared themselves for a fight, when a huge rock formation came down on more then half of them. The rest scattered and ran away. Od and Ulrick looked back to see Aelita stop her singing.

"Aelita? You did that?" Od asked her. Aelita nodded and fell to the ground. "Aelita!" Od ran to her side. "Oh, it's ok Od. I just have never used that much energy before. I'm alright." She said, looking up at Od's concerned face.

"We forgot about Yuki!" Ulrick said suddenly remembering and turning around to find Yuki in mid-air flying away slowly. "Come on! We have to follow him! Maybe he is going to Yumi!" Ulrick cried running to follow Yuki.

He didn't listen to Od saying to slow down, he just kept running. Wanting to find Yumi. 'I will find you Yumi. Whatever it takes, I will find you and save you from Yuki.' Ulrick ran a bit faster as he thought about Yumi, hoping that she was not harmed.
