Chapter 5
Ulrich's POV
It's been about 12 months since Yumi has been gone. Or in other words one full year. Yumi's parents took it pretty hard when they were called down to the school to have Mr. Delemas tell them that there daughter was gone and they had no sign of where she went. Poor Hiroki wouldn't stop crying.
For our group, the people who took it the hardest, we have just started to get over it. Jeremie and Aelita have been doing well, and have been going on a lot of dates lately.
Odd and Sam got back together once she moved back to Kadic and they started dating. As for me, nothing.
The others have tried to convince me that its time to move on but I haven't been able to. I tried going out with Emily once, but it just didn't work out. I felt like I had been cheating on Yumi. But Odd tells me she would want me to move on. But I hate it when he says that. That's what people say when someone passes on. SHES NOT DEAD! At least I don't think she is. I just think there is a better possibility that she is still out there. If she is, I only hope with my deepest desires that she will return soon. I don't know how much longer I can take it.
Yumi's POV
I did a backward flip and stepped over just barley missing the laser of a block that's aim was directly aimed for me. I hide behind a tree in the forest region and waited for my best chance to strike.
I herd clicking sounds from right behind me, I removed myself from my hiding place as I sprinted ahead and did a cartwheel forward and aimed my fan at one of the blocks and it hit it perfectly making it explode within the second.
I scanned the area. Two more blocks, five crabs, three kankerlots and five hornets.
"Easy as Pie."
I couched in position as the hornets flew down and hovered aside me ready to strike. For a minute it was silent until a swarm of lasers shot, targeted in my direction. Before I had they had the chance to reach me I spread out my arms in front of me and pulled them out to my sides so I was now standing in a T.
My sweaty hands started to tremble but I keep them flat and in place. I listened carefully and tried to let my ears see for me. My body started to feel light weighted as I tried to keep a focus on my inner energy.
"Wait for it." I whispered started to get impatient but knowing it wasn't time.
"Right…Now!"
A bright white light appeared as I started to feel pressure in my hands. I didn't really know if what I wanted to happen happened but I decided to just went with it. A barrier just like a regular guardian surrounded me, but instead of staying in its position it kept moving, capturing any creature in its path.
When the light…bubble….or what ever I thought it looked like disappeared, every XANA creature was gone.
"Yes! I did a force field…I think."
"You did well. I thought you could have done better but you mastered your last skill so I guess you did very well." I turned around and smiled.
"Thanks, I thought I did very well also." XANA smiled.
"Do you think I am ready now?" I asked, for which seemed to be the millionth time. He frowned. Then his faucal expression disappeared. "Only on one condition…"
"Okay…"
"You use everything I taught you." I nodded. "Of course." "But that's not it. You must promise me, no matter what, you won't hold back, and you won't let them get to you."
"Make me proud apprentice. I'm putting all my power in your hands. With the stuff you can do, you can free me permanently."
I slowly nodded knowing that this wasn't something that I could mess up. It was something that for once, I was important, and I was the only one that mattered. I needed to prove me power, and no one could get in the way of that. Not the gang, my parents, and definitely not Ulrich.
"I won't mess this up. I will make you proud. Not matter what the consequences are…"
Sorry it was so short. But I really wanted to update. My Birthday was Tuesday. If it wasn't I probably would have updated earlier, but yeah. Read and review! So I will update sooner!
