Chapter 4: letting go is hard
On the screen: Aelita has almost no memory left.
"Odd hurry!" Jeremie cries
"Sorry Jer but it takes a long time to get through the whole sector"
"What? Odd, I don't understand"
"I've been through the whole sector and only two of the three towers"
"Not that… wait what? Two of the three towers?"
"Yeah but when I try to go into the third one I keep getting shocked" Odd replied
"Too late Odd Xanna's won, Aelita has no memory left now gee thanks"
"Wha… I was going as fast as I could Einstein" –a long pause- "Oh no Yumi!" Odd says out loud
"Exactly, but I'm sure Ulrich will understand"
"Understand what?" Ulrich asks
"Xanna won"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry Aelita has lost her memory to the skepizoah and they didn't find the antidote to the virus"
"Then you mean…" - nod - "NO!" Ulrich screams, William hears it, "Jeremie send me in," Ulrich says
"But Ulrich…"
"Send me in Jer" Ulrich says bluntly
"Ok you're going to the ice region"
Ulrich went into the elevator and ended up in the scanner room. He got in his scanner and in no time at all he was in Lyoko next to William and Odd. He saw the barrier around the tower and even though it was shocking him he went in and found Aelita unconscious on the floor. But the craziest thing was the skepizoah was pinned on the wall by a spear.
Meanwhile on earth
Yumi's POV
Jeremie was so scared for some reason, I didn't understand. Then it got really cold, I was shivering as if I were sitting in the snow when I got locked out of the house. Then my vision started fading in and out as if I were going blind. Then I took a deep breath and woke up in a large white room. I wasn't cold any more but I saw my grandpa and grandma in the room with this old man in white. The man helped me up and walked me into a room with a huge windscreen TV with Jeremie and the others sitting by my side. Ulrich was crying but I didn't know why and then the man told me to go back and it wasn't my time yet then led me into a room with a long staircase that led to a door. I took the door and saw me lying down not breathing and Ulrich crying over me.
Ulrich's POV
I was busy extracting a red sphere from the skepizoah when Jeremie interrupted the silence.
"Ulrich it's too late get Aelita's memory and I'll devirtualize you"
"What do you mean it's too late" I said worried for I knew what the answer might be
"The virus has finished its course, I'm afraid she's gone"
"WHAT? NO!" I screamed and finished pulling the sphere and placing it back inside Aelita.
"devirtualize: Ulrich, materialize: Aelita" Jeremie's voice echoed inside the tower before I was devirtualized.
I climbed out of the scanner and noticed Aelita was gone, no time for questions I had to get up to the lab. When I got up there I saw Jeremie taking Yumi's pulse. He shook his head and I saw Aelita start crying and then I ran over to see what had happened. It was true what Jeremie said, she was dead. I couldn't hold back my tears, I loved Yumi and now she'd never see how much. But I looked over because I didn't want to believe it and I saw her spirit in the lab but then it got pulled back into her and her eyes shot open. She was alive!
Normal POV
Yumi woke up and saw Ulrich heading towards her she jumped up and wrapped her arms around him.
"Yumi!" Ulrich cried and looked at her and hugged her, "I was so afraid I lost you"
"He said it wasn't my time" Yumi replied
"who?
"God"
"what?"
"I took my last breath but now I know it wasn't meant to be my last" Yumi said, "and besides I still have to complete my destiny"
