Enjoy!

Jeremie sat at his computer, his feet kicked up on his desk. He scrolled through various websites but wasn't really reading anything on them. His mind was thinking about other things.
Jeremie was about to click on his myspace when his cell phone started to ring. Jeremie answered.
"Sup?"
"Jeremie!!! Jeremie there's something really wrong and I don't-" It was Odd.
"Odd? Slow down, what's wrong?" Jeremie asked hearing the fear in his voice.
"Xana's back."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich was sitting at Yumi's, watching a cheap horror film with her.
Yumi was lying down, her head resting in Ulrich's lap.
Since Yumi broke her and William's relationship, she and Ulrich could deepen theirs, showing feelings that they had been hiding for a long time.
The movie was just about to end when Yumi's cell started to ring.
She pulled herself up and answered it.
"Hey Jer."
"Yumi, get to the factory. Xana's back."
Yumi gasped, looking up at Ulrich.
"What's wrong?"
"Xana's back. We need to get to the factory." Yumi said, before racing out of her house, Ulrich right behind her.
------------------------------------------------
Odd sprinted behind the science building, hoping he'd lost William.
He took a couple of deep breaths before glancing around the side.
William was nowhere in sight.
Odd let out a breath of relief, before heading into the forest.
He quickly found the manhole and jumped into the sewer.
'Haven't been down here for a while' Odd thought before getting on his skateboard and racing off.
--------------------------------------------
Yumi rounded the cafeteria, slowing her pace so Ulrich could catch up.
"God, this running thing is killing me." Ulrich said, breathing heavily.
"Well, that's what happens when you've been sitting on your ass for a month." Yumi replied, sprinting into the forest.
Yumi saw Odd just as he jumped down into the sewer.
'At least he's not in any trouble' Yumi thought.
All of a sudden Yumi's senses perked up. She heard footsteps in the distance.
"Ulrich, do you here that?" Yumi asked.
"Yea I do. And they seem to be in a hurry, whoever's coming this way." Ulrich said.
They both stood silent for a moment.
Suddenly a loud yell came from about a hundred yards away.
Yumi and Ulrich whipped their head around, only to see William sprinting straight for them.
"William looks pissed." Yumi stated.
"That's not really William, Yumi. Look at his eyes." Ulrich said, digging his feet into the ground.
Yumi squinted at Williams eyes, and sure enough, he was possessed by Xana.
"Hurry up and get to the factory. I'll hold him off here." Ulrich said before getting tackled to the ground by William.
Yumi gasped, unable to move.
"Dammit, go!" Ulrich screamed while trying to dodge William's punches.
Though it killed Yumi to do it, she obeyed Ulrich and dropped into the sewer.
"Stay alive Ulrich" Yumi whispered out loud, before hopping on her skateboard and heading deeper into the sewer.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Odd ran into the super computer room, Yumi right behind him.
"Jeremie," Odd said, sweat pouring down his face.
"What the HELL is going on?"
"Well Odd, I have absolutely no idea."
"Oh great," Yumi butted in.
"Einstein doesn't have a clue. We're dead."
Jeremie stopped typing away at his keyboard.
"Where's Ulrich?" he asked.
"Buying us time." Yumi replied.
Jeremie nodded, then went back to the computer. He typed vigorously for another minute then sighed.
"Just as I feared. There's a tower in the forest sector that's activated."
Odd groaned. Yumi's thoughts started racing. Jeremie wiped his glasses off, gave his knuckles a good crack, then continued typing.
"If Xana's back, then maybe we could rescue Aelita, right?" Yumi said, speaking her thoughts.
"That's what I was thinking. I've been searching for any traces of her DNA or molecular code. I've had no luck so far." Jeremie replied.
"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing." Odd said.
"Yes!" Jeremie yelled, pumping his fists into the air.
"What?" Yumi and Odd said in unison.
"I think I've got a lead. Maybe we can rescue Aelita after all. Hurry up and get to the scanner room."
"You rock einstein." Odd said, as he and Yumi got into the elevator.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich threw another punch at William, but it was countered and Ulrich felt a hard elbow in his stomach.
He grunted falling to one knee.
"Dammit. It's like fighting some demon Jackie Chan." Ulrich muttered to himself, rolling away from William.
Ulrich got to his feet and sprinted back into Kadic, hoping the possessed William would follow him.
He did.
Ulrich sprinted through a cluster of girls, all of them screaming as they shoved their way through them.
Ulrich was starting to tire. He could see William catch up.
He needed to find something that would make him move faster, and he needed to find it fast. Just as William was closing in on him, Ulrich spotted a lone bike in Kadic's bike rack, with no chain or lock on it.
Ulrich quickly hopped on it and pedaled off, through the steel gates.
He slowed his pace a little. He needed to be just ahead of William.
Ulrich continued through Paris's streets, heading into the inner town depths of the city.
'Here we go' Ulrich thought as he dodged two speeding cars driving by.
'This is going to get interesting'
------------------------------------------------------------
Yumi and Odd landed roughly in the forest sector. They both fell on their faces.
"Oww. It's been a while since we got virtualized." Odd said, rubbing his head.
"Yea, we have to get used to that again." Yumi said, her temple throbbing.
"All right you two. I need you to start heading north. Tell me if you see anything suspicious." Jeremie's voice echoed.
"You got it." Odd said, as he and Yumi jumped on their vehicles and sped off.
They both traveled for quite a while, not seeing any of Xana's monsters or anything out of the ordinary.
Just as they were about to give up, Odd noticed a cut out path in the ground.
"Hey Yumi, lets check this out." Odd said, as he sped towards it.
Yumi followed Odd along the path, until they came out in an open clearing.
Odd abruptly stopped, causing Yumi to almost crash into him.
"Odd, what the hell!" Yumi yelled.
"Yumi, look." Odd pointed.
Yumi cursed under her breath then looked where he was pointing. She gasped.
In the middle of the clearing was a digital box.
And inside was Aelita.
"Um, Jer... I think we found something."
