Chapter 10

Laura's POV

"Why do I feel like I do something wrong every time I try to shoot Bo? I feel like I am being torn apart, but XANA showed me that they didn't care yet he refused to lift his weapon at me. He only struck at XANA. I continued. Could XANA be lying to me? I thought.

"My queen, where are you?" I heard XANA call for me.

"I am in here, my king." I replied.

"Ah, I will be ready to go to earth in a day and a half so until I am ready, I have locked the scanners, so that your former friends can not interfere with our plans, my dear." XANA explained.

"Good idea, my king." I said walking over to him.

"Once on earth, we will rule over all that is there, and you can be the one to execute the ones that hurt you, my dear." XANA said with his hand on my cheek.

"Thank you, my king." I said.

But my heart was telling me that killing them wasn't right. They had done nothing to me that warranted death. Not even odd deserved to die. Why can't I figure out what is wrong with me. I mentally screamed.

Bo's P.O.V.

We had gotten back to the dorms and told Ulrich to meet at my dorm when he found Odd.

"Ok, Bo, I am sorry for starting the fight in the park." Ulrich said.

"No, I started it by going after Odd. Besides it takes two to fight. We should all take blame for it. Not just you, me, or Odd ok, man?" I asked.

"Thanks Bo. Now I hope I can talk Odd into helping us." Ulrich stated.

"Well, he maybe mad, but I think he will help us to get Laura back. Besides if anything else, he will want to go beat XANA with us." I stated.

"Let's hope so." Yumi said. I could see it in Ulrich's eyes. He still cared about Yumi, and I am glad that he did because during this final fight with XANA, I have a feeling that I won't be walking away.

"Bo, are you gonna stand there all day?" Yumi asked while waving a hand in my face.

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about the upcoming fight with XANA." I said.

"It will be fine. You'll see we will win and put XANA in his place like always." Yumi said as we walked to my dorm.

"Yeah, you're right. Good always wins over evil, right?" I asked.

"You got that right." Yumi said while smiling. I hope Yumi and Ulrich realizes that they are destined to be together like Jeremy and Aelita are destined to be. Even though what Odd did to Laura makes me mad, but they are destined to be with each other as well.

"Bo, you're spacing out again." Yumi said while laughing.

"Sorry" I said while rubbing the back of my head, "I just want to hurry and get this fight done with. I miss Laura."

"Me too, Bo." Yumi said.

We had been talking randomly in my dorm until we heard a knock at my door.

"Come on in." I said. There was Ulrich with Odd.

"So, you're gonna help Odd?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got to tell Laura that I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking." Odd said.

"It is cool, Odd. We will get her back, and then you can say sorry to her." I stated.

"Ok, well when is the attack." Ulrich asked.

"Well in a day, XANA locked the scanners down, so we can't go right now. Jeremy, Aelita, and Franz are working on getting them running right now, so Yumi and I headed out."

"Yeah, I saw. How was your date?" Ulrich asked looking down.

"We just went to a movie. It isn't anything serious yet." Yumi said.

"Oh" Was all Ulrich said.

"What! You and Bo went out!" Odd shouted.

"Yeah, I needed to get my mind off XANA for a little while, and Yumi needed to just get out for awhile, so Yumi suggested a movie. But that's beside the point. We can discuss this later. Right now we need to be ready to move at a moments notice." I said.

"Ok, so what are we gonna do now?" Odd asked.

"Well, we all need to get some sleep. It has been a long day." I said, "So keep your cells on the highest volume in case we attack tonight because with three geniuses working on that problem, we could be attacking soon."

"Ok, I am kinda tired anyways." Ulrich said.

"Me too." Odd chimed in.

"Well, see you guys tomorrow." They said as they left.

"Well, I am gonna go back to my dorm too, Bo. See you tomorrow." Yumi said as she left.

I waited for about thirty minuets before I left to go to the factory. I was gonna ask Franz if he knew how to break XANA's hold on Laura. I had one idea, but first, I needed Laura.

"Sorry but the scanners are still down." I heard Franz say as I got off the elevator.

"I know you would have called." I said as I came around to see Jeremy and Aelita asleep in the corner, "I guess they were really tired."

Yes, they both worked really hard, and thanks to their help, I should be ready by noon, tomorrow." Franz said.

"That's good, but I want to know how to break XANA's hold over Laura." I said. Uncle Franz could tell that was worried about Laura.

"Well, the only thing I can think of is the light power that she gave you when you lost half of you dark power to XANA."

"Ok, so the feather that Laura gave me should do it?" I asked.

"Yes, in theory, it should. It was part of her before XANA took her, so it should bring her back." Franz stated, "But it could be fatal for you, Bo. The light power keeps you alive in Lyoko, and without it, I can't bring you back, and if you lose your life points you will be gone forever."

"That's a chance I am gonna take. I would give my life for my sister. I swore this on our fathers death bed that I would look after and protect her with my very life if necessary." I stated.

"I figured you would say as much." Franz chuckle, "Are you gonna tell the others Bo?"

"No, they would just try and stop me. I can't afford that now."

"So, you would break Yumi's heart by not telling her." Franz asked.

"No, Ulrich and Yumi belong together. I am just helping a friend right now." I stated.

"What about Laura? You two just found each other, and you're willing to gable that you will die."

"Yes, because, I know that if I do die, she will be cared for. She died for us once before, and I don't want her to die again. Plus, she has you, Aelita, Jeremy, Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd to watch over her." I said.

"I see you have thought about this for a while, nephew." Franz stated.

"Yes I have and what scares me is that I am calm about it." I stated.

"Well, it is ok to be scared, Bo. It helps keep us from doing something dangerous." Franz stated, "Plus, having the courage to face you fears s what makes us stronger."

"Oh, damn." I said.

"What is it, Bo" Franz asked.

"I just remembered that Laura's birthday is coming up." I said.

"Oh yes, that is right." Franz said, "So, what are you mad about Bo?"

"If I die, I will miss her birthday again. I have already missed five of them, and missing another after we found each other would be hard on her." I stated.

"Well, we could always take time and see if there is another way." Franz said.

"No, we can't XANA locked the scanners, so he would have time to recover and be at full strength. As soon as the scanners are up, we have to attack, so he can't do what ever it is he is planning." I stated, "It is just a gamble. All I have to do is avoid any attacks, and then we can find a way to get me back to Earth later after we save Laura."

"Ok, Bo, go back to the dorms and get some sleep. I know I won't be able to talk you out of this plan, so at least be rested for the fight." Franz said.

"I will and don't breath a word of this to any of the others please?" I asked as I headed for the elevator.

"I won't I promise." Franz said as I left.

XANA, tomorrow is your time is up. Laura just hold on. I will save you. I promise. Even if I die, I will make sure you are safe before the life leaves my body. I thought as I got to my room and when to sleep resting up for the battle to come.
