"Xana is planning on making someone else his slave. Knowing him he would choose someone you know well. Xana seems to have a grudge on you guys and before anything else he wants to destroy you," stated Tom as he felt his memories assault him in random order. His father being Stan Rox's/Xana's enforcer, his enslavement to Xana, etc. Then he suddenly remembered something.

"Remember when you last saw me? I inserted something in Odd. I think it was part of his being. Odd, Xana is planning on making you my replacement!"

"That can' be true!" argued Odd, feeling the mark on his hand burn and anger starting to brew, "You're just trying to turn everyone against me so that Xana can do something else while everyone's watching me!"

"That is far-fetched," Jeremie, "Up to now, you've been working for Xana and now you're telling us Odd is going to work for him."

"I'm not saying Odd is going to work for Xana," replied Tom, "I'm saying Xana is trying to make him work for him. He made me his slave and he's trying to do the same thing to Odd! And there's proof."

After saying this Tom showed everyone the back of his right hand. It had Xana's symbol on it in what looked like a black burn, "Xana centered most of his influence in this mark, if Xana is trying to enslave Odd, it will have to be on the back of one of his hands."

"Odd, maybe you should show us your hands," suggested Yumi, "Tom might be right."

Odd felt his other hand cover Xana's symbol, "Why should you believe him?" asked Odd sharply.

"Odd, this isn't like you," said Ulrich, you've been acting strange. Come to think of it, you've been acting strange since we last saw Tom."

Yumi immediately grabbed both of Odd's hands and revealed that Xana's symbol was indeed on one (his right hand).

"We got to remove that," said Jeremie, "Otherwise Xana will take control of you."

"What if I don't want it removed," Odd almost yelled, "I happen to like it!" Xana's symbol started to grow deeper and redder than it ever did, "You think you're so smart Jeremie, but maybe you don't realize I'm smart too! None of you are really my friends if you believe Tom over me!"

Aelita gasped as Odd's hand started to erupt with electricity, "Odd, that's Xana talking! Not you!" she cried desperately as the electricity spread

Xana's mark started to grow so that it covered Odd's entire arm and Odd's eyes widened, "What's happening?" asked before he disappeared in a burst of red light and electricity.

"Damn you Xana," Ulrich half cried-half moaned in his concern for the friend who had always been so lighthearted until now.
