Chapter Ten: Falling
"Ok everythings set. Now head to the scanners,"Jeremie said. They nodded and entered the elevator. As they entered the scanner room, Kat stopped.
"Kat, whats wrong?"Odd asked, turning around. Kat shook her head, hugging herself. "Kitty Kat..,"Odd said, comeing forth and putting his arms around her. "Whats wrong?"
"I don't wanna go back,"Kat said, putting her arms around him now.
"It'll be ok,"Odd said. She didn't reply. "Just call my name you'll be ok."
Kat nodded slightly, pulling away and heading into her scanner.
"Scanner...Vitualization."
They landed in Lyoko. "Ok lets go,"Yumi said, leading the group. Josh appered before them and they came to a hault.
"Its nice to see you here,"Josh said, laughing. "Esipially you Kat."
Kat looked down, Odd's fingers interlocked with hers and he whispered,"Everythings gonna be ok."
She nodded and looked stairght at Josh.
"OH! Lookie here Kat's got her self a boyfriend,"Josh said. Aelita used her creativity ability making and arch of land go over Josh. She started running up it when she was on the center of it she shouted,"Now!"
Kat and Odd separted, Kat going after Aelita and Odd going to the side of the arch way along with Ulrich on the other side. Yumi stood to the side some where just in case. Kat healed Aelita and then Yumi came up to them. "Well its up to us,"Yumi said, and they ran to the end of the sector. The transport orb appered and they headed to Carthage.
"Well well well what do we have here?"Josh asked, looking from Odd to Ulrich. He smirked then pointed at both of them, sending a jolt of lightening at them. They were lucky they dodged it. "Skilled,"Josh said. He jumped up and destroyed the arch. "Well bring it,"he said, getting into battle positon.
"Its alrighty been brought,"Odd said, shooting a laser arrow his way.
"Triangulate!"Ulrich exclaimed. He and his clones ran around Josh at super speed then after making Josh dizzy, Ulrich called back his clones attack Josh. Odd sent another arrow at Josh then Josh got mad and sent another jolt of lightening there way this time hitting them. Ulrich just smirked and cloned himself again and the three of them attacked. Odd suddenly spaced out.
He saw Kat she smiled and her lips moved. She then stepped backwards and fell into something that Odd couldn't make out. Odd blinked and he saw Ulrich still battleing it out with Josh. 'Whoa I thought I lost that power, but that doesn't matter Kat needs me,'Odd thought. "Ulrich, do you think you can handle him by yourself?"Odd asked.
"Maybe but where are you going?"Ulrich replied, thrusting his sword into Josh. Josh's mouth opened slightly, when Ulrich stabbed him.
"Ugh,"Josh moaned. Ulrich looked back at Josh and pulled his sword out. "This isn't the end..I'll be back,"Josh said, fading away.
"Good job guys now go after the ladies,"Jeremie said.
"Thats exactly where I was going,"Odd said, running off. The transport orb transported them to carthage. Odd and Ulrich caught up to the ladies in no time. Yumi and Kat were fighting off some creeps.
"Need help?"Ulrich asked, drawing his sword and destroying the one of them. Odd also destroyed one with his laser arrow. They finshed them off.
"Thanks guys,"Yumi said.
"No problem,"Odd said, giving a thumbs up.
"Ok Aelita, lets go,"Kat said. They arrived at the computer and Aelita started typing in stuff. Kat healed them all and was now sitting down, weak. Odd and everyone else stood ready for any mantas. Of course three of them came, Ulrich stood in front of Kat to protect her, cause she was still weak. Yumi and Odd attack them, apparently they got them pretty good cause two of them were defeated fast. Kat pointed two fingers at the last one and casted firaga which was a stronger fire spell. It exploded and Kat fell over side ways. "I hate this place,"Kat said.
"Finshed. Jeremie, you have control now,"Aelita said.
"Great now I'll send the vechiles,"Jeremie said. Yumi and Aelita got on the overweight which was the first one virtualized. Ulrich got on his monobike(or w/e it it) and Odd and Kat got on the hover board.
Odd lie in Kat's bed, thinking about his vision and he wondered why it didn't happen.He was happy it didn't happen, but still he had to wonder. He wanted to stay with her that night, so here he was. Kat turned over to look at him. "What you thinking about,"Kat asked, cuddleing up to him.
"Alot of things,"Odd replied.
"Ok,"Kat said, turning back over.
Odd put his arms around her and whispered,"Kitty Kat, I love you."
Kat turned in his arms to face him. "I love you too, Odd,"she said, kissing him on the cheek. Odd kissed her passiontly then pulled away after a second or two. "Don't ever leave me,"she said, holding onto him tighter.
"I won't,"Odd said. She smiled and closed her eyes, her grip around him loosening. She soon was asleep. Odd kissed her eyes and closed his eyes, difting off to a deep sleep.
The next day was sunday and everyone was in Jeremie's room. "Well Xana's trapped in Lyoko, so now we have to find a way too free Kat,"Jeremie annoced.
"I hope you find a way soon,"Kat said, squeezing Odd's hand.
"Just out of curiousity, Kat, why didn't you wanna go back to Lyoko?"Ulrich asked.
"I was afaird something bad was gonna happen..its just a feeling I had,"Kat said.
"Ok,"Ulrich said.
"Well I better go back home or my parents will freak,"Yumi said. It was 4:30 a.m. and everyone was still in the pajama's.
"I'll walk you,"Ulrich said, holding her hand as they walked out.
"Later Jeremie,"Odd said walking out with Kat.
"So you comeing back to my dorm or do you want to go to your bed,"Kat asked.
"Your dorm,"Odd said, heading that way. When they entered Odd admetly flopped onto the bed, followed by Kat. "I don't think I can go back to sleep,"Odd said.
"Whys that?"Kat asked, getting into the covers.
"I don't know,"he replied, getting into the covers also.
"Well then just try to go back to sleep kay,"Kat said, kissing his lips then turning over. Odd put his arm around her and just watched her sleep.
It was a few hours later Kat woke up to see Odd. "Mourning sunshine,"Odd said, kissing her forehead.
"How long have you been up?"Kat asked, sitting up.
"I never went back to sleep,"Odd replied. Kat laughed softly, leaning against him.
"Kat..Kat Kat,"Odd mumbled. He kissed her cheeck and just smiled at her.
"Gee somebodys in a good mood,"Kat said.
"Who wouldn't be when their with you,"Odd said. Kat blushed.
"Well anyways why did Jeremie want us to come to his dorm that early?"Kat asked.
"Cause Yumi wasn't going to be here today,"Odd replied.
"Oh yeah,"Kat said. "Well are you hungrey?"
"Kinda yeah,"Odd replied.
"Well wanna go out to eat or do you wanna just have some cereal in my dorm?"Kat asked.
"You have cereal?"Odd asked.
"Mmmhmm,"Kat said.
"Then I'll have some cereal please,"Odd said.
"Comeing right up,"Kat said, getting up and grabbing two bowls. She poured some cereal in them then milk. She grabbed some plastic spoons and handed Odd his bowl then sitting down with hers. She had a mini fridge and a small cubart. They finshed eating.
"Well Kitty Kat, I'm gonna head to the showers so I'll see you later,"Odd said, kissing her cheek.
"Bye Odd,"Kat said.
"Oh and Kat,"Odd said.
"Yup?"Kat replied.
"Look under your pillow,"Odd said, walking out. Kat raised her eyebrow and lifted up her pillow to find a velvet box. She opened it too find a ring inside of it and a note. Kat smiled feeling her face warm up. She slipped on the ring and then grabbed the note.
This ring costed a lot! I hope you know, but it doesn't matter. I wanted to get you something special so here it is. I hope it brought a smile to your face and I hope you also know that I love you and I always have and probly always will.. God I hope this didn't sound lame, but whatever I love you OK!
She laughed then looked at her ring and smiled. 'God he said hope alot, but it was sweet,' she thought. She then looked at a picture of Odd and her. He was smiling up at her his arms around her waist, she was looking down at him smiling also. She kissed the picture and laid back down smiling at the ceiling. 'I love that man,'she said, closing her eyes.
It was lunch time now and Odd was sitting at the table with Ulrich and Aelita. "When we were at Lyoko I had a little peak into the future which hasn't happened in a long time and well the vision hasn't came true yet,"Odd said.
"What was it about?"Aelita asked out of curiosty.
"About Kat smiling and saying something to me then falling into something I couldn't make out,"Odd replied.
"Thats kinda odd,"Ulrich replied. Aelita hung her head in thought.
"Lets just hope it doesn't come true,"Odd said. No one else said anything then Jeremie and them came over and sat down.
"Hey Odd, thanks for the ring and that note was sweet,"Kat said, kissing him on the cheek.
"Glad you liked it,"Odd said, smiling slightly.
"Odd, whats up?"Kat asked, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Nothing I'm fine, Kat,"Odd said.
"I don't believe you tell me whats going on,"Kat said.
"I- Kat, walk with me,"Odd said, standing up.
"Ok,"Kat said, getting up slowly. They walked around the cafteria two times before Odd finally stopped and sighed. "So whats up?"Kat asked.
"Kitty Kat, I'm starting to get this feeling that I'm gonna lose you,"Odd said.
"Odd,"Kat said softly, grabbing both his hands in hers. "Your not gonna lose me."
"Kitty Kat, something bads gonna happen in Lyoko I know it..I don't wanna lose you so we have to find a way to free you from Xana and fast,"Odd said. He took his hands away from hers and wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah,"Kat said, wrapping her arms around him too. "Well lets get to- ugh!"
Odd surprised let her go and she fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Kitty Kat!"Odd exclaimed kneeling down. He went to touch her, but when he did his hand went right through her. She stopped screaming and looked up at Odd.
"Odd, I-,"she said, then she shierked. She held herself and her body started fading, almost like in the virtual world.
"KAT!"He exclaimed. Her eyes closed in defeat and she completly vanished from his sights. Odd shook his head a few times to try to figure out if this was real. "Awww man KAT!"he exclaimed, but no answer. He quickly ran to find the others. As he was running he thought he saw Xana's eye. "YOU GUYS!"Odd exclaimed, when he found everyone else.
"Whats wrong, Odd? And wheres Kat?"Yumi asked, hoping everything was ok.
Odd took a deep breath trying to stay calm and then tears started welling up. "I was holding Kat-I was holding her then suddenly she shierked..surprised I let her go and she fell to the ground screaming and she- she-...,"Odd said then he stuttered,"Xana-he-he...he's got Kat-I think I don't know I'm soo confused."
Odd on shaking legs fell on Yumi.
"What!"they all questioned.
"But-but how?"Ulrich asked.
"I don't know, but we got to save her,"Odd said, standing on his feet now. He then darted off to the factory, with everyone else behind him. Jeremie sat at the super computer and everyone else went to the scanner room.
"Scanner Vitualization!"Jeremie's voice ringed and they were now in the virtual world. The first thing they seen was the scyphozoa holding Kat, it wasn't doing anything too her just holding her. Two tarantulas showed up along with three crabs, three hornets, three blocks, and about twelve roaserters.
"Well we're in for it,"Ulrich said.
"Hey guys Kat helped me set up this program that raises your hit points and I can now heal all you guys at once auto matically well I can only do that two times each time we go to Lyoko so don't get hit too much so I'm raiseing your hp now,"Jeremie said, pushing a button. "Now you guys have two hundred HP and when I heal you it only brings up your hp hundred points ok?"
"Thats great!"Odd said, excitely. 'Kat, you rock,'he thought.
"Well lets rock n' roll,"Ulrich said, getting into position. The monsters were kinda in a line like the roasters were in the front, the blocks were behind them, the hornets kinda floated to the side, the crabs were behing the blocks and the two tarantulas stood guarding the scyphozoa.
"What do you guys want me too do?"Aelita asked.
"Smile and look pretty,"Odd replied, then whispered in her ear. Aelita nodded and asked Jeremie for Odd's hover board.
"Sure it'll be there in a second,"Jeremie said.
"Ok I'll take care of the hornets on the side line, Yumi, you and Ulrich break through,"Odd said.
"Amazing Odd has a plan,"Yumi said, with a short laugh.
"No time for jokes Yumi lets go,"Ulrich said and the two charged into battle attacking the roasters first. Odd ran to attack the first hornet. He shot a laser arrow at it, thus destroying it, and a block decide to pull a fast one on Odd, but luckly Odd put up his shield so he was ok.
"One hornet down two more to go,"Odd said, running over to the next one. Yumi and Ulrich had the roasters down they took some damage but they still had about one hundered and twently hp left, so Jeremie didn't bother healing them yet. Odd's hover board appered by Aelita and she smirked. She got on her hands and knees and sang a note, then hoping on Odd's board.
"Aelita, wait! Yumi go with Aelita!"Odd demanded destroying the last hornet then running to were Ulrich was. Yumi did what she was told and hoped onto Odd's board also. The two girls went riding past the monsters on Aelita's newly made land formation. They were shot at, but Yumi blocked.
"Ulrich, make some clones so we can get through this faster,"Odd said. Ulrich did what he was told and cloned himself making the clones attack the monsters also. The clones were defeated by the time they got to the last crab.
"Say goodnight crabby,"Ulrich said, jumping up ontop of it and stabbing his sword into the xana's eye.
"Nicely done,"Odd said, then was shot by a trantula. "Hey Jeremie, mind healing us about now? I'm sure Aelita been hit a few times also,"Odd said, attacking the trantula that saw him.
"Sure and while I'm at it I'll give you more arrows,"Jeremie said.
"Thank you!And Yumi, nows your chance to free Kat from the scyphoza, "Odd said and he and Ulrich kept attacking the two trantulas.
"Alright,"Yumi said, throwing her fans. The fans cut the tentalcles that were holding Kat off and Kat fell to the ground and the scyphoza retreated. Yumi caught her fans then she and Aelita jumped off the board to see if Kat was ok. She was unconscious of course.
"Aelita, stay with Kat I'm gonna help the guys,"Yumi said, fighting the trantulazes off with the guys. They distroyed one then the other after a few seconds.
"Well I guess its over,"Ulrich said. Yumi looked around supiciously and Odd ran over to Kat. He kneeled down and held her in his arms. Her eyes opened and she put her arms around him.
"Odd, you came,"she said. She then put her hand on his cheek and sent a jolt of electristy into him. Odd recoiled from her. She stood up with a smirk. "Too bad its not really me,"she said, then she fell to the ground and Josh appered.
"You son of a-,"Odd began.
"Now now all is fair in love and war,"Josh said.
"I knew it was too easy,"Yumi said frustrated. Aelita was over by the real Kat now trying to get her to wake up. Josh sent a sharp piece of ice Aelita's way.
"Ughhh!"she shierked. It had took seventy life points away.
"Stay away from her!"Josh demanded, raged. He then sent a barrier around Kat, sending Aelita flying out of it. Aelita was now left with fifty hp. They heard Jeremie cursing. It would have been pretty funny if they weren't in danger. Aelita was now just lieing there, it must have stun her.
"Now to finsh you three off,"Josh said, laughing manically. Ulrich growled and charged at Josh along with his two newly made clones.
"Impact!"the three of them said, stabbing Josh. They pulled their swords out of him and Josh just put a hand to his head.
"You truly are stupid, aren't you?"Josh retroted, then sending two ice blocks at the two clones then another one at Ulrich.
"Ugh,"Ulrich groaned.
"Ulrich!"Yumi said, comeing to his side. Josh sent another ice block at Yumi and Ulrich. Yumi blocked it. Odd then joined in the fight sending laser arrows rapidly at Josh. Josh dodged most of them, but still he was hit a few times also.
"Odd, calm down your wasting your laser arrows I'll reload you, but this time use them more wisely,"Jeremie said, annoyed. Yumi sent her fans at Josh. One had hit him the other Josh caught and he sat there examining it for a second or two.
"Nice little toy you got, Yumi is it?"Josh asked. Yumi gasped when he threw it back at her. "Well missie time for you to go,"Josh said. Yumi flew up in the air, her eyes opened wide along with her mouth opened also.
"Let her go!"Ulrich shouted. He charged at Josh, but Josh was able to throw him back and send a ice block at him while still maintaining eye contact with Yumi. Josh clenched his hand into a fist then Yumi screamed in pain. Odd ran to the side of Josh and shot a laser arrow at him and then while Josh was distracted with Yumi and him, Ulrich attacked Josh. Yumi fell to the ground, she had twenty life points left. Yumi laid there shaking. Ulrich started slashing away at Josh, then Josh flung Ulrich back leaving him with ten hp. Odd aimed and kept shooting his arrows at Josh.
"I'm sick of you go away!"Josh shouted, flinging Odd back then sending wad of fire at him. Odd just came running back shooting his laser arrows at Josh again. "You insolent fool!"Josh said, sending a bolt of lighting his way. Odd was able to put up his shield then continued shooting. "Thats it!"Josh exclaimed and did what he was doing to Yumi. Odd tryed to fight back, but it didn't quite work. Yumi sent her fans at Josh and Ulrich was slashing away at Josh again. Josh moved his concentrastion from Odd to Ulrich. "Time to go,"Josh said, getting ready to attack Ulrich. Jeremie had hurried and healed all of them again. Josh got frustrated when Ulrich didn't die.
"Sorry I was healed,"Ulrich said, in a cocky voice jabbing his sword into Josh.
"Its a pity that I have five hundred hp and I'm only down too three hundred now,"Josh said, sending Ulrich flying again. Yumi and Odd nodded at each other. Yumi started throwing her fans at him and Odd shot his laser arrows then Ulrich used his abilty trigulate to confuse Josh. Ulrich stopped and summoned his clones back inside him and slashed away at Josh, followed by Yumi's fans and Odd's arrows.
Aelita walked back over to the barrier that held Kat and cloned Kat. The barrier started swirving around, but then stopped. 'How can I convince it to let Kat go,'Aelita thought, then sat down pondering on that while everyone was fighting Josh. It had been a few minutes later and Josh sent Ulrich flying then holding him in the air and draining his hp then letting him fall to the ground and sending a bolt of lightening at him. Ulrich devirtualized.
"No Ulrich!"Yumi cryed then she threw her fans at Josh, followed by a laser arrow.
meanwhile in the factory..
Jeremie sat at the computer shaking his head. Ulrich came in.
"Sorry Jeremie,"Ulrich said, hanging his head.
"Ah its alright,"Jeremie said looking at Ulrich for a second then looking back to the screen to see Aelita getting thrashed while Odd and Yumi were just standing there probly frozen or stunned. "Aelita!"Jeremie cryed out. He started to panic then he got control of himself. "Ulrich, take the controls,"Jeremie mumbled.
"What!"Ulrich questioned.
"I said take the controls virtualize me!"Jeremie shouted, jumping out of his chair. He looked really pissed.
"Jeremie-,"Ulrich started.
"Read the manual if you have troubles ok!"Jeremie said, darting off to the scanner room.
"Scanner Jeremie. Virtualization,"Ulrich said.
Jeremie landed on Lyoko to see Aelita blocking Josh's attacks with land formations. He had almost the same outfit like he had on earth, but with an overcoat over him. Jeremie took out his weapon which turned out to be guns and ran to aid Aelita. Jeremie flipped in front of Aelita and pointed his guns at Josh. He pulled the triggers. The force of the bullets sent Josh flying.
"Jeremie!"Aelita exlclaimed.
"Yeah?"Jeremie replied, looking over his shoulder to look at her.
"Your here..thank you,"Aelita said. Josh was still lieing on the ground.
"No problem and I think my guns bullets stun,"Jeremie said, looking at Josh. Odd and Yumi came over to them. "Well go on then finsh him off,"Jeremie said. Odd nodded then went over to Josh and aimed at his head, but to Odd's surprise Josh jumped up and kicked him in the head. Odd fell backwards and Josh sent a wad of fire at him then a jolt of electristy and then a block of ice.
Ughhh,"Odd moaned. He was down too hundred hp now. Jeremie and Yumi nodded at each other and charged into battle.
Aelita looked at Kat, she was awake and she was freaking out. "Kat, calm down I'll get you out of there,"Aelita said.
"Wait don't do anything,"Kat said, holding up her hand. She closed her eyes and mouthed something. "Aelita, clone me now!"Kat exclaimed. Aelita did what she was told and made another Kat clone. The barreir swirved around for a moment then went over the other Kat and exploded. "Thanks Aelita,"Kat said.
"No problem,"Aelita said, smiling. Kat ran into the fight taking out her sword. (a/n remember she does have a sword if you don't believe me look back in earlier chaps lol)
"Delta attack!"she exclaimed and slashed at Josh with white lights popping up. She then turned and lifted up her hand and casted a spell that would take half of her hp for using it. "Ultima!"Kat exclaimed and it hit Josh. He fell backwards and Odd shot him in the head.
"I may not have much Hp left, but its enough to destroy Lyoko and trap you in here forever,"Josh said, laughing manically again. The ground of Lyoko started shaking and Josh disapeared.
"Ulrich, devitualize us now!"Jeremie exclaimed. There was no reply or were they divitualized.
"What are we gonna do?"Aelita asked, grabbing Jeremie's arm for comfort. Jeremie didn't say anything.
"You guys hurry too the transport orb,"Kat said, darting off. The others followed and the transport orb took them to Carthage. The ground was shaking here too. "We don't got much time lets go,"Kat said. They didn't have to hit any keys and they were stairght to the computer. Kat started typing in some things. Kat nodded at what the screen said and looked at the others. "You guys will be divirtualized in a few minutes and you got to shut off the super computer when your back into your realm,"Kat said.
"Shut off the super computer why?"they questioned at the same time.
"Cause Xana's gonna get out again and this time he's not going back into the super computer cause Lyoko is being destroyed only a small portion will be left and thats not enough for xana,"Kat said.
"Wait what about you if we shut down the super computer you'll be gone,"Odd said.
"Mmmhmm,"Kat said, looking down.
"But Kitty Kat-,"Odd began. Kat smiled softly and put her arms around Odd.
"Odd, I have too go,"Kat said.
"What if I don't want you too go,"Odd said, holding onto her tighter.
"Odd, I'm sorry, but I have to do this or who knows what Earth would do when Xana's down there. My lifes not that valuble to put Earth in danger you understand?"Kat replied.
"It is too me,"Odd said.
"I know I know, but its not worth it..we have two more minutes,"Kat said.
"Kat-,"Odd began.
"Shh,"Kat said, putting her finger to his lips. "Just let me go we'll meet again."
Odd looked at her then sighed. "Ok Kat, I guess I understand its just so hard,"Odd said.
"I know,"Kat said, leaning in and kissing him deeply. She pulled away after a second and backed up to the edge of the platform. She nodded at everybody. "I guess this is goodbye everyone,"Kat said.
"We'll meet again,"Yumi said solemly.
"Yes,"Kat said, nodding.
"Well take care of yourself ok,"Jeremie said.
"You guys too,"Kat said, nodding.
"Kat,"Aelita said softly. She ran up and hugged Kat. "We'll miss having you around,"Aelita said. Kat didn't say anything just hugged Aelita tighter. Aelita smiled and back away.
"Say goodbye to Ulrich for me and give him a hug,"Kat said. They nodded and Kat looked at Odd. She smiled softly at him. "Odd,"she said to get his attention. He looked up and she said softly,"I love you."
"I love you too Kitty Kat,"Odd said. She smiled again and looked at everyone.
"Farewell,"Kat said and stepped backwards then dissapered. They all divirtualized and headed to turn off the super computer. Ulrich was on the floor when they entered the super computer room.
"Ulrich,"Yumi greeted, going over to him. "Kitty Kat says goodbye and to give you a hug,"Yumi said, hugging him.
"Wheres Kat? What happened?"Ulrich asked.
"Kitty Kat's gone we shut down the super computer,"Odd said, holding back the tears. Aelita hugged Odd knowing he was on the edge of tears. "Let it out,"Aelita said. Odd didn't cry just held Aelita in his arms while she cryed. Ulrich almost burst into tears and he embraced Yumi. Odd let go of Aelita and headed out of the factory. He went back to the school and went inside Kat's dorm and laid on her bed. 'I miss you,'he thought. He could swear somebody was holding him, but no one was there. He sighed and went to sleep, his dreams about him and Kat.
a/n hope you enjoyed the chapter theres another one so don't think this is the end kk.
