Nobody's Known Till Now 2

"That's me!" He smiled shoving a piece of bread in his mouth. Odd left and Ulrich was alone. He felt horrible. He always was the one to get things worse then anyone else.

Ulrich was sleeping when the phone rang. He sat up in his bed and answered it.

"Hey Ulrich, I need to talk to you. It's Lillian. I know you're not feeling well, but it's important."

"OK." He answered with a very hoarse voice.

"It's about Odd. He seems to be distancing himself from me. Do you perhaps know what's wrong? I'm worried and scared. I don't want to loose him." Ulrich tried to take a deep breath.

"Odd has a lot going on right now. He was fine when he stopped by for lunch. All he could talk about was you and Emma."

"Thanks Ulrich. I'm sorry if I woke you."

"No problem." "

"Bye."

"Bye." Ulrich hung up and dialed Odd's number. Three rings and the answering machine picked up. He dialed Jeremy's number "Jeremy, its Ulrich. Is Odd with you? I haven't seen him since lunch and Lillian just called saying he's been avoiding her. I want to talk to him."

"No, we haven't seen him since lunch either. He didn't show up to gym class either. I'm heading over to the factory with Aelita. We'll see if XANA has done anything."

"Keep me posted. I'll be sleeping so if I don't answer the first time, keep trying."

"OK." Ulrich hung up and lay on the bed. A few minutes later it started to snow. Ulrich sat upright in his bed. His phone rang.

"Ulrich, I found Odd, but it's not good. XANA must have taken over someone's body and beaten him up. What gets me is why there isn't an activated tower. I sent Aelita and William looking, but there isn't one. Maybe XANA doesn't have to activate towers anymore."

"Jeremy, that is horrible. If XANA can attack now without warning… I can't even say it. We're in so much trouble." Ulrich sighed as he looked at the floor. There was silence at the other end of the phone line. "Jeremy, I have to get to Yumi. We have to find a safe place to hide." Yumi's parents are gone. They're already in Japan. "We have to find a safe place for Yumi, Lillian, and Emma. The school and factory aren't safe. Neither is the Hermitage."

"I agree, but we need to be careful. Yumi can't really do much. We have to get her away."

"Jeremy, how are we going to stop XANA now? Before we would deactivate the tower now there's no way to stop him." He heard a panicked sigh on the other end.

"I don't know Ulrich. XANA is free now. He's no longer bound to the computer. I think he took over someone's body and is going to keep doing that and…I don't know, but we have a serious problem now." Ulrich hung up and went to Yumi's room. He heard a faint scream and burst into her room. He found possessed Jim standing by Yumi ready to attack. Emma was crying on the floor and Lillian was unconscious. Ulrich ran up to Emma. He picked her off the ground. Carrying Emma in his arms. He ran out of the room luring XANA away from Yumi and Lillian. He ran to Sissy's room. Jim was far behind.

"Sissy, I need your help. I need you to watch Emma! Please it's a matter of life or death. This is the biggest favor you could ever do for me!" Sissy looked shocked as she took Emma in her arms.

"I'll take care of her for a price."

"Sissy I can't date you and I won't kiss you. I'm not going to cause trouble with Yumi now. Please do this. If you really like me you'll do this." Sissy sighed.

"OK." Ulrich gave her a quick hug leaving her shocked. He ran off toward the possessed Jim. He began fighting Jim while he motioned for Yumi to get out of here. She listened and ran out the double doors. Ulrich fought XANA till he got knock out.

William's POV

William sat next to Odd. Odd was conscious, but in tremendous pain. He was badly bruised and his leg was broken.

"What are we going to do?" The elevator door opened and everyone expected XANA. To their surprise and relief it was Yumi. She was panting. William got up and went over to her.

"What happened?" He asked concerned.

"XANA's taken control over Jim1 He knocked Lillian unconscious. Ulrich Grabbed Emma and took off running. I think he's letting Sissy take care of Emma right now. I wish Ulrich were here right now."

"William, if Jim takes Ulrich out we'll be in big trouble. He'll head for the factory. Odd can't fight and we have to get Yumi safe." They all stood there once again the elevator opened and Ulrich came into the factory. He was limping and had scratches all over his face He had Lillian over his shoulders. She was unconscious. He laid her next to Odd. She was scratched up and bruised.

"I'm running back to school to get Emma. I might have to tell Sissy what's going on. I already know this is going to call a return to the past. I lost Jim. I don't know where he is so watch your backs and keep yourselves safe. I'll be back." He turned to walk away and clenched his side. He stood still and closed his eyes. Yumi walked up and touched his shoulders.

"Are you OK?" William watched from the side lines. They really cared for each other.

"Yeah, I will be once everything goes back to normal. Stay safe. Try to think of a hiding place." She nodded and backed away. Ulrich ran out and Yumi sat next to William. He looked at her beautiful face.

You're going to have to get over her completely. There someone else for you.

William got up and walked towards Jeremy.

"What are we going to do? They aren't safe here." Jeremy shook his head and they all turned to hear a loud crash on the floor where Jim stood.
