He Who Calls
Chapter 40
Yumi sat in the squalid tower on Troy. They Troy towers were really more like huts, very short and dirty with one panel in them. A boy was sitting on the other side. His white and blue suit was completely black from lying in the filth. His huge sword had been taken away with her fans.
"My two little prisoners," a cold voice echoed from above.
"We're dead, aren't we?" asked Yumi. "William died."
"No," said William from the corner. "I never died. Xana took me prisoner."
"And I have another prisoner to add," said Xana. King fell into the room. The Eye of Xana was gone from his hand. Then again, his whole hand had reverted to a normal shape.
"King," said Yumi. "Welcome to prison. William, what happened to you?"
"After I betrayed Xana and sent Milo the secrets of Xanadores, my clothes turned normal again. Xana left my mind. I was dropped with Franz Hopper on the internet then transferred here and locked in, and everyone believed I was dead."
"I have a plan on how to get out of here," said Yumi, leaning in.
"Really?" asked Xana, his voice still echoing. "Do tell."
"He hears everything in here, Yumi," said William. "We're here until he's dead."
"No," said King. "Yumi has to escape. It's part of the plan for 6Base. Don't press me for details. I just know that all the Lyoko Warriors need to be there at 6Base."
"No leaking secrets," said Xana as King rolled and screamed with pain. Yumi jumped up and started typing furiously on the little panel. As Xana concentrated on King, she set her program to 6Base. She would have to wait here until they had destroyed 4Base and 5Base. But she would be there at 6Base, and so would William and King.

Data Entry # 1
I'm still not a Xanadore. All we can really do here is keep our data logs on this panel. I can't write anything relevant because Xana scans them regularly, but I can write that I won't write anything relevant so I can rub his nose in it. William is remarkably calm. I guess imprisonment does that to him. King is going to go stir crazy. He'll be no help at all in a day and not even lucid in three. I can keep sane by writing this down and talking to William. I can also write this over and over again: 6Base is going down, 6Base is going down. Xana hates it. A lot. I think he's really scared that we're going to kill him in the end. I know we are. Xana's days are numbered.

Yumi
I can't believe Yumi is gone. She'll be trapped on Lyoko a long time. It will take three more days to beat Xana. I hope we can find Yumi afterward. Everyone is really trying to cheer me up. Odd, Milo, and Aelita did this thing I think was an act but I'm not sure. Odd and I opened the closet on them in the middle of a make-out session. I think they were really doing it just to cheer me up. Milo and Aelita aren't the kind of people who make out in closets. That's more Odd's style. Jeremy is still really trying his hardest to break them up, even through all of this. Sadly for him, they're closer then ever. Yumi isn't going to die, though. And she's too strong to be a Xanadore. I will find her someday. I know it.
