FRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDS

The day had finally arrived…

The day they couldn't escape….

It was the day the cat and the elf were to fight the samurai and the geisha.

Odd flew through the air on his overboard…

"The time has finally come. Were going to save them all and finally destroy X.A.N. A." thought Odd silently to himself and he then looked at Aelita as she flew forward on the overwing, her hair blowing in the wind and he sighed, "When we save Jeremie things will go back to the way they were. I'll only be a friend nothing more, but Aelita loves Jeremie, so that will have to do."

Unbeknownst to Odd Aelita also flew through the air on the overwing deep in thought…

"The day has finally come, X.A.N.A will finally be destroyed, I hope." Aelita stole a glance at the kitty boy flying next to her, "He's done so much for me, he cares so much… but Jeremie cares so much for me as well…" She sighed to herself, "I hope Sissy is right."

Back at camp a skeleton crew was a buzz with keeping everything in order, but Sissy just sat there staring in the direction everyone left in…

"I wish I could help you guys."

But she knew that she had no powers and she didn't know how to work any type of gun.

"You guys better come back safely, and bring back Ulrich too."

She knew she'd probably never have him as her own but… she still wanted him to live so she could apologize to him for all the bad things she'd done to him.

"I pray that you all return safe and sound."

That was all she could do.

"Krabs ahoy!"

Everyone stared forward at the welcoming committee X.A.N.A sent them…

It was 200 maybe even more krabs lined up in rows ready for battle!

Raul poked himself out of the hatch of the tank, "Wow! X.A.N.A's gone all out for us!"

Odd flew down next to Raul, "What you'd expect! X. A. N. A. hates our guts especially mine!"

"Why especially yours?"

"Come on! If you were an evil super computer and a kid getting D averages in math and science was kicking the crap put of you wouldn't you be a little peeved!"

Raul blinked, "I guess so…"

"Exactly!"

"Men listen up!" yelled the Commander, "This will be our final battle against X.A.N.A! Take out as many monsters as you can, and if Odd and Aelita need your help, help them!"

"Yes sir!"

"Odd! Aelita! I'm counting on you!"

"Yes sir!" said Aelita

"Aye aye chief!" Said Odd saluting the Commander

And at that moment in Sector 5 X.A.N.A watched the army approach…

She smirked to herself, "Looks like our guests have arrived!" Her smirk widened, "Tear them apart my pets!"

The battle was on!

"LASER ARROWS!"

Odd shot a verge of arrows at the approaching krabs taking out three.

"Three down and a bazillion to go!"

Aelita sang her heart out materializing bolder after bolder, sending them crashing into the krabs.

Aelita frowned, "Were going to get swarmed at this rate. Wait! Odd!"

His cat ears twitched at the sound of his voice being called, "Aelita?" He flew over to her.

"I have a plan then will take these krabs out!"

"Alright! I'll get the tanks to fall back!" Odd did a 180 and flew off.

Aelita blinked, "I'll never get used to him being a physic."

With that she flew up high in the air and began to sing her heart out.

Odd closed his eyes and concentrated, "Everyone this is Odd! No you're not hearing things, I'm using telethapy! You need to fall back and keep the krabs from advancing; Aelita's got a plan!"

"You heard him men! Fall back!" Yelled the Commander over the radio

The tanks fell back firing at the krabs, trying desperately to keep them from advancing. Odd looked up and saw the outlines of dozens and dozens of boulders in the sky.

"Whoa! She's going all out!"

At that moment some of the krabs spotted the forming boulders and proceeded to advance on the helpless singing elf.

Aelita cracked her eyes open, "Oh no!"

The charging krabs fired at Aelita.

"No…"

"SHIELD!"

A purple barrier flickered on in front of her, and the laser fire dissipated when it hit.

"I got you back Princess!" said Odd floating right in front of her, "Now let um have it!"

"Right!"

Aelita sung her heavenly music louder then she ever had before and the boulders completely phased into existence right above the krabs.

"Bye! Bye!"

The boulders fell down onto the helpless krabs taking them out. Anywhere they tried to go they were met by a crushing boulder on the head, until they were all gone.

"Wow…" said Raul in amazement

"They did it!"

The soldiers began to whoop and shout.

Suddenly the Commander's voice came over the radio, "Men! This is not he time for celebrations! This was only the first wave! We can celebrate when X.A.N.A. is no more! Move out!"

"Yes sir!"

Odd turned to Aelita, "Come on, you know who is waiting!"

"Yeah."

The pair flew forward heading towards X.A.N.A.'S compound ready for the final face off.

"Ahh!"

"What the?"

The overboard and the overwing were engulfed in flames and destroyed. Odd with his cat graces landed on the ground on all fours ad Aelita created a pink bubble barrier around herself causing her to land gently onto the ground, but as they were going to stand up they almost had their heads taken off by to metal Japanese fans. The fans made a u-turn and flew back to their owner. Odd and Aelita looked over and gasped…

It was Ulrich and Yumi!

They were clad in black versions of their Lyokoian outfits; X.A.N.A symbols resonated in their eyes and in the middle of their foreheads.

"Aelita… remember the plan?"

"Yeah."

"Go! I'll try to help you as soon as possible!"

Aelita took off into a sprint and Yumi followed, leaving Ulrich and Odd alone.

"Now let's go Ul ARGE!"

He felt himself be cut by a sword from behind but Ulrich was still in front of him!

"What the?" Odd turned back to see two other Ulrich's behind him, "But when did he…? No matter it's only three on one."

Just then two more clones split off from Ulrich; then two more, then two more until Odd was completely surrounded.

"Son of a"

"Eeeeyaaa!"

Yumi hurled both of her fans straight at Aelita, but in response Aelita encircled herself in her pink bubble barrier causing the fans to bounce off and fall to the ground. Then Aelita quickly began to sing and several pointed rocks materialized in front of her.

"Sorry Yumi."

With a great sweeping motion of her hands Aelita sent the rocks hurtling straight towards Yumi! The rocks hit her dead on and before Aelita could give any kind of reaction Yumi poofed into a cloud of smoke, and when the smoke cleared a boulder with the rocks imbedded init stood where Yumi once was.

"Where's Yu AHH!"

A hand had emerged from the ground and latched onto her ankle. Aelita gasped in horror and she wasted no time in materializing a rock then smashing it against the hand causing it to let her go. Yumi then erupted from the ground, made a few quick hand gestures, put her fingers to her mouth, and blew fire at the poor elf girl.

"Ahhh!"

The fire licked her body causing her to stumble and fall. Yumi then hurled projectiles at Aelita and one caught her in her shoulder. Aelita groaned in pain and gripped her shoulder. She needed to heal herself! Aelita encased herself in a pink bubble barrier, to prevent further attacks and she gripped what was sticking out of her shoulder.

"One… two… Three!"

Aelita gasped in a pain she'd never forget as the object left her shoulder. Aelita gasped at what she held…

It was a shuriken!

She'd seen this before! Every week she ad the others would watch a show called Naruto. They used these on the show! The pieces fell into place…

Yumi was now a master ninja!

"Odd please hurry…"

"Ahh!"

Odd was sliced once again…

His eyes darted around, the Ulrich's ran around him in a great big circle at super speeds.

"Raaa!"

Odd shot a verage of arrows into the circle, most of them flew through the circle, but one hit its mark causing bright specks of light to be thrown from the circle. However Odd's small victory was rewarded by a cut to his leg.

"ARGE!"

He gripped his leg in pain then he forced himself back up and fired arrow after arrow after arrow into the circle. Dozens of glowing white specks spilled out of the circle lighting up the whole area but Odd's retaliation was cut short when he was struck from behind and knocked face first onto the ground. When he tried to get up he was knocked backwards, but before he hit the ground he was knocked to the left then to the right! If this kept up he's surely die and that mend X.A.N.A. will win…

And that's when he lost himself to the power of the beast once more…

"RAOOOOO!"

Purple energy engulfed Odd stopping the clones and Ulrich dead in their tracks and it hurtled outwards away from him. Every last clone exploded into white specks of light and the real Ulrich was thrown onto a bolder.

X.A.N.A smirked as she watched the battle from Sector 5, "Oh Odd you foolish mangy furball. You'll never defeat Ulrich as you are now! The beast alone cannot win! I was hoping to use you more but I guess that's that!"

Odd now as the towering werecat bared his claws, his wounds all closed up, and his eyes burned with pure animalistic rage.

"Raooo!"

Ulrich looked up to see Odd bearing down on him. Odd snarled and slashed right across Ulrich's chest. The kitty boy advanced again in a complete and utter rage trying to take off Ulrich's head but he never laid a whisker on Ulrich.

Two clones had jumped on him from behind, Odd roared and slashed the clones a part to nothing, but then more clones surrounded him. Odd slashed and destroyed clone after clone, but for every clone he destroyed two seemed to take its place. About 50 Ulrich's stood in front of him, swords drawn, ready to fight. Odd glared to the Ulrich's with his silted eyes, growled and charged.

Back at Camp

Sissy sat worried; she knew Odd was powerful, but there was the lingering fact that Odd had never beaten Ulrich before. She cringed; she knew what Odd was up against. Thoughts of what happened months ago were burned into her memory forever…

It started like any other day, Mrs. Hertz took roll call… and Odd, Jeremie, Aelita, and Ulrich were gone. That wasn't abnormal. It was common for them and Yumi to be absent from a period or two. They'd eventually show up and get detention, but this time they didn't. It was nearly dinner time when the cops came. They asked so many questions, pictures of all of them were gathered, their parents were notified and then the cops were called away due to strange sightings on the river. I went back to my room and thought for a moment they sometimes went into the woods and there was an old abandoned factory not to far from there! That's where they could be! I was so selfish, I wanted to find them by myself and be the hero, but then was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. When I arrived at the factory the cops were there; I immediately hid behind a building nearby. Strange lights and mechanical sounds came out of the factory, so this was the disturbance they were called away to! The Police readied their guns and approached the walkway but they didn't even get a chance to set one foot on the walkway when there were shouts of terror and gunfire. An orange streak zigzagged through the cops cutting them down where they stood. Then the streak stopped…

It was Ulrich!

Ulrich just killed those cops!

He was dressed as a samurai and clad in all black…

I felt tears well up in my eyes…

And I ran all the way back to Kadic nonstop. The very next day the monsters came…

Sissy whipped away a tear, "Odd you need to save them or else were all doomed."

"RAAA!"

Odd slashed and destroyed another clone, but it was quickly replaced by two more. Odd was then elbowed from behind, then in the front, then from both sides. The clones had given up in cutting Odd because the cuts they gave him only healed. The kitty boy was fading fast, when he became the werecat he was very powerful, but it didn't last long he didn't have much mastery over himself as her was now. The anger of the beast within him began to fade…

One more clone charged and caught Odd right in the stomach. All the beast rage in him drained away, he fell backwards, purple energy radiated off of him, he had transformed back to his smaller self and had collapsed on to the ground. The Ulrich's taking the opportunity all sheaved their swords, jumped up into the air, and fire sprouted from their hands.

Odd cracked his open, "N…N…No…"

The kitty boy watched helplessly as the Ulrich's created a fireball in each hand…

Was this the end?

Time slowed down, the Ulrich's shot their fire balls at Odd…

So this was how he was going to die?

Suddenly Odd's whole body tensed up as he was struck by a vision…

"Today's gonna be the day Ulrich! I'm gonna beat you!"

Odd gasped in remembrance as he watched the events unfold.

"I want to see you try!"

Odd grinned, "Ok then here I come!"

I few minutes later Odd found himself flat in his back.

"Ow…"

Ulrich laughed and offered his hand to Odd, "I win."

Odd took Ulrich's hand, "Do you ever loose?"

Ulrich pulled Odd up, "Nope."

"Well that will change! I Odd Della Robbia he by decree that I will defeat you Ulrich Stern; that I will!"

Ulrich smiled, "Now I really want to see that!"

The vision then erupted into flames. Odd stood in a field of ruin, there was fire everywhere, legions of X.A.N.A. monsters stalked around the area and what he saw next made his blood run cold…

Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita were on the ground not moving…

He knew they were dead…

His mind was made up…

He couldn't die now…

The fire balls smashed into the ground. The clones landed on their feet. The real Ulrich grinned but his smile was turned into a scowl when the fore died down and there was nothing there! He missed! Just then three clones to the right of him were destroyed. All of the Ulrich's turned to find the kitty boy perched on top of a pile of rubble, arm up ready to fire.

"Ready for round two!"

Several Ulrich's charged up to Odd only to be destroyed by physic energy.

Odd thought to himself, "Ok Odd you can't keep this up for long. You gotta think!"

He blasted more charging clones.

"Man I hate thinking!"

He blasted some more.

"Ok Ulrich's clones are mindless… So if I find the one with a mind it will be Ulrich!" More clones fell to his physic energy.

"Wait… What's to keep the others from tearing me apart while I try to rescue him?"

Odd slashed two advancing clones to nothing and his eyes widened in shock.

"The clones are easily made and easily destroyed! So if I can find some way to destroy a bunch…" Out of the corner of his eye he spotted the river that flowed through the ruined city, "That just might work."

Odd gathered up a bunch of energy, blasted a few clones, and took off towards the river.

Aelita tired desperately to dodge the verage of incoming shuriken.

"Ahh!"

Aelita tripped on the ground and Yumi took the opportunity and threw shuriken straight at the poor elf girl.

"No!"

She barely managed to get a barrier up. Aelita immediately began to sing and sand blew around Yumi, temporally blinding her. Yumi growled and whipped the sand from her eyes. Aelita sang again and sharp rocks appeared in front of her…

Yumi saw this and whipped dozens of shuriken at the distracted elf , striking her all over, but before Yumi could react Aelita disintegrated into specks of light! A decoy! Yumi heard heavenly music from behind her and as she turned to confront the elf she was struck in the shoulder and the leg by sharp rocks.

"Sorry Yumi…"

The geisha fell to her knees in pain then she looked up and glared at Aelita, white smoke blew from her mouth. Aelita stood ready for battle. Yumi got up, growled, and shot a beam of white energy at Aelita.

"Ahh!"

Aelita barely dodged it and she fell to the ground.

"Uhhh…" Aelita groaned and pulled herself up and looked back, "No way!" Where she stood before was covered in ice, "Yumi can create ice!"

"Raaa!"

Aelita's head snapped over to Yumi to see another ice beam heading towards her.

No! She couldn't loose to Yumi!

Odd needed her…

A pink bubble barrier encircled Aelita seconds before the ice beam hit…

She wasn't a poor little girl who always needed saving!

But then Aelita gasped in horror; the ice was slowly creeping around her barrier…

"Odd please hurry…"

"Come and get me you creeps!"

Odd shot three clones dead. He was almost to the rivers, so he began to concentrate and the river began to bubble. Unbeknownst to Odd the Ulrich's began to create their fire balls. The river got closer and closer, and bubbled even more. The fire in the Ulrich's hands grew even bigger. Suddenly Odd skidded to a stop, he was right in front of the river now, and he started to glow purple. The Ulrich's also skidded to a halt and began getting ready to fire, but Odd lifted his head up and smirked at the Ulrich's. A purple bubble barrier encircled him, and all the Ulrich's looked up in horror as a title wave came down upon them.

"Odd hurry please!"

There was no escape for Aelita. If she moved her barrier would collapse and she would be frozen to death.

"Help…"

The waves crashed around annihilating each of the clones into specks of light leaving only the original Ulrich flat on his back on the ground.

"Urg..."

Ulrich sat up to see Odd bearing down on him. Ulrich unshiefed his sword so he was ready to stab only Odd had vanished into thin air. Then he felt two hands grip him from behind.

Odd concentrated, he entered Ulrich's mind, and found himself in front of the prison that held his friend.

"RAAAAAA!"

With all of his physic might he smashed open the barrier and he found himself back outside in enough time to see Ulrich's X.A.N.A. ghost exorcised.

"Wha…?" Ulrich cracked open his eyes to find Odd standing over him with his arm stretched out.

"I win"

It was getting colder and colder inside her barrier.

"Odd! Please help me!"

Odd Looked up and gasped, "Aelita?"

"Odd please help me!"

"We've got to go! Yumi's still under X.A.N.A'S control and Aelita's in danger!"

"WHAT! Odd what's going on?"

"There's no time! I'll explain on the way! Board appear!" The overboard appeared out of thin air causing Ulrich to freak out, "You can do it too! Just say overbike appear!"

"Overbike appear?" Sure enough the overbike appeared and Ulrich hopped on, "Now explain!"

"Alright!" They both took off and Odd explained the situation.

Ulrich couldn't believe what he was hearing! He also couldn't believe how Odd had changed! Odd was so focused and powerful! He wouldn't have wanted to be beaten by anyone else.

"There they are! I need you to melt Aelita out of the ice and I'll go free Yumi!"

"Just how do I melt her out!"

"Use your fire powers!"

"Wha!"

"Dude, if it wasn't for the fact that when I go berserk all of my wounds heal, I'd take my shirt off now and show you the gigantic third degree burn you gave me!" With that Odd took off.

Ulrich just blinked, "Odd's still odd."

Yumi sensed something was behind her and when she turned her head she had enough time to see Odd grasp her head in his paws. Odd focused, entered her mind, and smashed the barrier that kept Yumi prisoner.

Ulrich stood there staring at the gigantic ice ball before him that held Aelita. Odd said he could create fire but how? Ulrich looked at his hands… maybe… he pictured fire in his mind and stared at his hands, soon his hands were a blaze with fire.

"Ahh!" He thought his hands were toast but the fire felt mitten warm, "Whoa." Ulrich began to melt the ice.

Yumi slowly stirred awake and saw Odd standing behind her.

"Wha? Odd?" she tired to get up but her shoulder and her leg felt like they were on fire.

"Yumi don't mo…" Odd's world began to spin and a terrible pain erupted in his stomach.

"Odd!"

Ulrich managed to burn a gigantic hole in the ice and Aelita crawled out shivering like crazy.

"So… So…. So cold!"

"Don't worry Aelita I'll warm you up!" Ulrich started a fire in his hands.

"Odd? Odd what's wrong!"

"Wha?" said Ulrich

Ulrich and Aelita looked over towards Yumi in enough time to see Odd collapse to the ground clutching his stomach.

"Odd!" yelled Aelita

"No!" yelled Ulrich

They both dashed over to the fallen kitty boy.

"Odd hold on!" Aelita put her hand on Odd's shoulder.

Odd jerked violently, he placed a paw over his mouth and made a strange noise.

"Odd? What's…? No!" Aelita gasped

Blood trickled out between his fingers…
