Odd was so suprised that he fell over backwards. "Aelita, I don't need your sympathy" he yelled, getting up and running towards the edge of the platform. Aelita tackled him, Odd landing on his back and Aelita on top of him. "Odd, this isn't sympathy" Aelita said in a voice he had never heard before. It was almost romantic, but wasn't quite there. "No, you love Jeremy. I saw it! You kissed him! You-" he started, but Aelita cut him off with a quick kiss. "I thought I loved Jeremy, but I just felt like I owed him something. I've always liked you, I just didn't realize it" she confessed. It took Odd a second, but then he understood. "Dream or not, I still like this" he said, pulling her down and kissing her. The kiss lasted a good minute before they ran out of air. "Odd, this isn't a dream" Aelita said. He smiled. "That makes it all the better." He then kissed her again.
Jeremy could hear everything that was going on. Tears were streaming down his face. He was now the one without a girlfriend. Ulrich and Yumi, Odd and Aelita. He loved Aelita, and still did. 'Well,' he thought, 'lets bring Odd back and see how he deals with my fists!' Jeremy threw the earpieceaside and typed in the devirtualization code. "Let's see how you deal with this, Odd!"
Odd was kissing Aelita with his whole heart behind it when he suddenly began to devirtualize. "What's going on?" Odd yelled. There was no response from Jeremy. 'Is this ZANA?' Odd thought just before he was devirtualized. Rushing through data, he found the scanner doors open and stepped out. "Jeremy?" he called. WHAM! Odd was thrown across the room by a force that had impacted his head. Flying into a wall, he fell down and got up just in time to get hit by Jeremy, this time in the ribs. Odd could feel them smash at his vulnerable insides. He fell down and curled up into a ball as Jeremy kicked him hard. "AELITA!" he yelled, just causing Jeremy to kick him harder.
Ulrich was busy kissing Yumi at the factory, when he heard Odd yell out Aelita's name. "What's going on?" he asked Yumi, both of them getting up. "I have no idea, but it almost sounds like Odd's being attacked." Ulrich ran into the elevator, Yumi close behind. The elevator went down and stopped at the computer room. "Where's Jeremy?" Ulrich asked. "I'll ask Aelita, you go to the scanner room, and look for Odd" Yumi instructed. Ulrich nodded as Yumi got out and the elevator doors shut. The elevator went down, stopping and opening up. Ulrich was shocked at the sight of Jeremy shooting electricity into Odd's body. Odd was screaming in pain. Quickly, Ulrich grabbed a piece of metal and hit Jeremy on top of his head, knocking him out. He went over to tend to Odd. He was still alive, but barely. "YUMI, LAUNCH A RETURN TO THE PAST!" he yelled up through the staircase. But she couldn't hear.
Aelita was climbing up from the platform when Yumi's voice came on. "Aelita?" "Yes?" "Where's Odd?" Aelita got concerned. "He was devirtualized for no apparent reason. Why?" "We heard him yelling your name. Are you ok?" Aelita was now very concerned. "Fine, but-" Aelita stopped as she noticed green pulsations leading to a nearby tower. It had green mist coming out of the top. "Yumi, there's a tower that's green. Did Jeremy activate one?" Aelita started to run towards it, but was blocked by three tarantulas and the scyphozoa. Quickly the scyphozoa was on top of her, starting to give her a virius.
Yumi could only watch as the scyphozoa started giving Aelita the virius. "NO, AELITA!" she yelled, but it was no help. Suddenly a group of three flying mantas appeared, and Yumi watched in complete confusion as they fired at the scyphozoa, causing it to release Aelita.
Aelita found herself on the ground, the tarantulas firing at the three flying mantas that were firing at the tarantulas. A ball of pink light appeared in her right hand. She aimed it and it took off, destroying one of the tarantulas. The mantas destroyed the other two. Aelita looked at them and saw the familiar white mist surrounding them. Franz Hopper. As she ran towards the tower, they circled overhead, watching her. Aelita entered the tower, rising up to the second platform. Placing her hand on the screen, she deactivated the tower.
Ulrich, who was on the brink of death from defending Yumi, collapsed onto the floor as Jeremy lost his powers. "What? But...how?" was all Jeremy could say. Then he ran into the elevator and left before Yumi could catch him. "It's okay, Yumi. Don't launch a return to the past, I see Odd moving down there." "Okay, do you want me to materialize Aelita?" "Please" came Aelita's voice. Yumi went up to the computer and, with the assistance of Aelita, launched the devirtualization program.
Aelita exited the scanner to find Odd, who was not quite consious, with a hole in the middle of his shirt and blood oozing out. "Oh, Odd!" she cried, falling onto her knees. She picked his upper body up, holding his head and kissing him. It was just then that Odd woke up, as she could feel him move. She opened her eyes and hers met his. Her soft hand stroked through his messed up hair, her other one supporting his head, her body supporting his. Odd managed to smile, and again they kissed. "Aelita, are you sure you don't want to launch a return to the past? He looks in pretty bad shape." "I'm fine!" Odd yelled, back to his old self. "You are not, you feel like a potato chip!" Aelita yelled back, causing the three of them to laugh. "It's your choice, Odd." Aelita looked tenderly into his eyes. Odd nodded, and told Ulrich, "You might as well. Set it back to where Jeremy saw us kissing on lyoko." "Ok buddy." Odd smiled at Aelita, who smiled back. "We'll continue there" he said, as the white light flooded the area, returning everybody to the past.
Well? What will happen to Jeremy? I added some UxY for all the fans out there. Thank you for all that reviewed last time, and please review this! I'll keep going with reviews!
