Okay, I'm really glad people are putting this as their Favorite Story and stuff. I like that, but I also like reviews. I apologize if I am sounding too persistant, but could you please review? Pretty please?

Odd's POV

Ulrich, Aelita, Einstein and I were eating breakfast when we noticed Dialla wasn't here. At first we thought it was normal, since she's usually late for breakfast. But when first period came by and she didn't show up, we started getting worried. We were on our way to P.E when Einstein's laptop started beeping. He pulled it out of his backpack and started typing.

"Activated tower," he declared. "Let's head to the factory."

We all nodded and I tried to call Dialla while Ulrich called Yumi. When I got her voice mail, we got nervous and rushed to the factory. We were almost at the sewer passage when the Dan clone appeared out from a tree, leapt and Jeremy and grasped his throat, squeezing. Ulrich and I grabbed the closets object - large sticks - and smacked Dan. It caught him off guard for the moment and Ulrich ordered us to get to the factory while he covered us.

"Good luck," I said and climbed down the latter.

I hopped on my skateboard skillfully, grinded on a pipe, and was soon at the end of the sewer, meeting Yumi. We climbed up and ran to the factory. When we got there, to our surprise, Dialla was on Lyoko.

"Hurry! Get to the scanners! She's in trouble," Jeremy cried.

Aelita, Yumi and I stepped into the scanner and were virtualized onto Lyoko. We landed in the forest sector and the Scyphzoa had just dropped Dialla. I leaped off my Overboard and crouched over her.

"D? You alright?" I asked.

Her foot implanted with me chest, sending me staggering back a few feet. She got to her feet, her beautiful chocolate eyes were replaced with the Eye of XANA.

"Jeremy! She's..." my voice stopped when she fired her guns at me.

I rolled to my left and leaped on my Overboard and soared into the air.

"Jeremy!" Aelita shouted. "XANA's possessed Dialla!"

For a moment, we didn't hear anything. Then, Jeremy spoke: "Guys! Don't devirtualize her! Just stall her! I'm going to try and reset the Supercomputer!"

"Will it work?" Yumi questioned.

"I sure hope so. But I need a few minutes," he concluded.

"No problem! Banzai!" I shouted and flew down at Dialla, firing a few laser arrows.

Dialla shielded them, then connected both of her guns at fired at me. I brought up my purple shield but she shot me in the leg and I fell off my Overboard and onto the ground. Jeremy told me that I lost 50 lifepoints. Dialla hovered over me, raising one of her sword. A fan flew around her and hit her hand, knocking the sword away. She glared at Yumi who had just recovered her fan. I took this chance and got away from her. Yumi prepared to throw her fans again, but Dialla fired her guns-now separated- at her Overwing and it got devirtualized, causing her to fall. As she fell, Dialla threw her boomerangs at Yumi. Yumi, who couldn't evade, got devirtualized. I told Aelita to head for the tower and while I told her that, Dialla connected her guns again and fired. Her green beam hit me in the head, an immediate devirtualization. I appeared in the Scanner Room just as Ulrich had climbed down.

I had never seen Ulrich so angry and upset than how he was now. Not that I could blame him. I stumbled out of his way as he stepped into my scanner. The doors shut and soon he was on Lyoko.

Ulrich's POV

After dealing with the clone temporarily, Jeremy called and told me Dialla had become possessed by XANA on Lyoko. I hung up before he could continue and ran as faced as I could to the factory. The clone recovered and started to follow me. Once I could see him out of the corner of my eye, I stopped abruptly, brought my right foot up and kicked him in the face. He hit the grassy ground and I continued running. When I finally got to the factory, I went right to the Scanner Room. Odd didn't even crack a joke when I arrived. I got virtualized onto Lyoko and landed on the Forest Sector. Up ahead, blocking my bath, was a Trantula. Jeremy programed my Overbike and I leaped on. I drove fast towards the monster, avoiding the red beams it fired and pulled out one of my swords. I leaned slightly to the left and my saber pierced its skin, destroying it in seconds. I soon caught up with Dialla, who was assaulting Aelita and leaped into the air, sending her my Overbike.

She saw it coming and simply stepped out of the way. I ordered Aelita to run for the tower and I stepped in between her and Dialla. Aelita started running towards the tower and Dialla glared at me.

"Ulrich, I need you to stall Dialla for a few minutes. Don't devirtualize her. I'm going to restart the Supercomputer," he told me.

I nodded and pulled out both my swords, as did she. As we engaged in a sword fight, I managed to knock away her swords for the moment. She didn't seem to care since she used her boomerangs as daggers. I'd forgotten how skillful Dialla can be, typically when she's mad, because now I was sword less. She swiped my feet out and grabbed her own sword. Keeping her foot placed on my chest, she raised her sword. At that moment, everything froze, her blade was inches from my face as I brought up my arms in an abortive attempt to defend myself.

Moments later, everything was unfrozen and Dialla dropped her sword and fell forward. I caught her, checking to see if she was still under XANA's control. Thankfully, she wasn't but she was really weak. Jeremy rematerialized us and Aelita deactivated the tower. Dialla was still a little shaken up when she stepped out of Lyoko and I explained to her what had happened. Surprisingly, she took it pretty well. Later, Jeremy announced that we would destroy the Desert Replica tomorrow. Lucky for us, tomorrow was Sunday, meaning there was no classes. We got to the factory and Jeremy transferred us to Lyoko. As Aelita piloted the Skid, Jeremy alerted us that there was a few sharks coming towards us. Aelita ejected the NavSkids and I was used to the controls of my Skid. I took out two sharks while the others handled the rest of the sharks. Once they were gone, Aelita brought us back to the Skid and we appeared in the Desert Replica.

Ulrich and Yumi were chosen to go to Earth while Odd, Aelita and I stayed on the replica. A few minutes passed and Jeremy informed us that William, Dan and a two Trantulas were coming and he programed our vehicles. I leaped on my Overboard and flew towards our enemies. The Trantulas opened fire on me and I swirved around, evading the beams and took out one. The other was taken out by Aelita's energy field. Dan aimed his gun at me and fired rapidly. I'd forgotten how accurate his aim was because a lot of times he almost hit me even when I was dodging. A stray beam hit my Overboard and it was devirtualized. I activated my booster and flew away. He flew after me and we began to have a sword fight in mid-air. At one point he fired a his gun at me a few times. One of the beams grazed my booster and it became fuzzy. Unsure of whether or not it would devirtualize, I lowered myself to the ground.

"Dialla, the beam that hit your booster lowered the time rate. You now only have about ten seconds left," Jeremy informed me.

Which means I need to be carefulI thought. Dan flew down and landed a few feet from me. I connected both my swords and charged at Dan while he grasped his large sword. We engaged in a sword fight for a couple of minutes and I noticed that Odd was having a bit of trouble with William. I quickly disarmed Dan and knocked him away and went to support Odd. I fired my guns at William and got him in the shoulder. Odd took the opportunity and fired a few laser arrows at him. William cringed as our attacks fazed him but unfortunately they werent' enough to devirtualize him. He turned on me now, while Odd dealt with Dan, who was getting back on his feet.

I pulled my swords apart in order to deal with William's sword but he was obviously used to dealing with two swords as he knocked away my weapons easily. I tensed and went to grab my boomerangs but he pointed his sword at me, causing me to back away. I nearly fell off the edge of the sector when his tip reached my chin. He pulled his sword away suddenly and stroked my cheek seductivley. Why he was doing that, I wasn't sure. But I was fully prepared when he pushed me since I pulled him down with me. As we both fell, I realized that it doesn't affect him if he falls in the Digital Sea.

"Oh, wait, that doesn't help me. Boo," I said and shifted in the air.

I activated my booster and soared up but William grabbed onto my legs, halting me.

"Ack! Hey! Get off!" I shouted and struggled but his grip was firm.

I ended up elbowing him on his head and continued my way up. I was inches from the edge when my booster died, but I was able to grab hold of the edge.

My hand slowly started to loose its grip and I told Jeremy to bring me back. He said it would take a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't have a few minutes and my hand slipped from the edge. I yelled for a moment but someone grabbed my hand. I assumed it was Odd, but when I looked up, my mouth fell open in shock.

"Dan?!" I gasped.

He glared at me and his grip tightened and he pulled me up and threw me into the air. He fired his cannon at me and I flinched at the whiteish blue laser came at me.

"Ah, oh crap!" The beam hit me in back and I was devirtalized.

I appeared in the scanner, one hand holding me up, the other wrapped around my stomach. "Ohh, that hurt."

I recovered in a matter of seconds, and made my way towads the elevator. I joined Jeremy over by the Supercomputer and soon Ulrich had destroyed the Desert Replica. Jeremy brought the rest of the group back, and I questioned if he was getting any closer to bringing back Dan and William.

"I just need a little more data from Sector 5 and we should be able to free them. Why?" he wondered.

"Because just now, when I almost fell into the Digital Sea, Dan saved me," I answered. "The real Dan not the XANA possessed one."

"But he only saved you to devirtualize you," Aelita pointed out.

"Exactly. If XANA wants to get rid of us, why would Dan devirtualize me instead of just letting me fall?"

"I think she's right," Yumi agreed. "It's like that time at the lake. William did the same."

There was an awkward moment of silence which was broken when Odd unpremeditately yelled. "LUNCH TIME!"

We all looked at him like he had six heads, but then we laughed and left the factory. We skated swiftly through the sewers and I reached the end first. I cllimbed up the latter and waited for my friends to emerge. Once they came out, we were walking towards the lunch room when I saw a person I really didn't want to see. His golden hair was a huge mess as it always was and he was dressed in a red shirt, black jacket and blue jeans. I sighed agitated, and told my friends I'd meet them at the lunch room. They eyed me weirdly, but nodded. I made sure they were inside the cafeteria before I walked over to him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed.

He noticed the anger in my voice and cautiously took a step back. "Chill, honey. I'm just here to visit."

"Don't call me honey. We broke up, remember?"

"What, you think having one little fight means we broke up? I don't think so." He wagged his finger playfully. "The way I see it is, we had a fight, and you came here to clear your head."

I placed my hand on my forehead, parts of my hair were trapped in my fingers, and I groaned. "You're really are an idiot. You cheated on me, Mike! With Jessica! Of all people!"

Jessica was the meanest, most horrible person ever. Whatever I had, she had to have. Including a boyfriend.

"She came on to me! I didn't cheat, I promise!" he protested. "And I still love you, Dialla. I can't get you out of my head. Please. Just give me one more chance." His brown eyes were pleading and I could see that he was sincere. But...

"You're too late," I said softly. "I have a boyfriend."

I turned swiftly on my heels and strode towards the lunchroom, when his hand grabbed my roughly. He spun me around and grabbed my other arm with his free hand.

"You see," he said, his voice colder now, "You should know by now that I don't work that way, kitty cat."

I glowered at him when he called me kitty cat and struggled but his grip only tightened. I flinched.

"You're hurting me," I told him.

He loosened his grip, but only a little. "I've got a better idea. You break up with whoever your loser boyfriend is, and we can go steady again."

This time I was able to get out of his grip.

"No!" I snapped. "You had a chance and you blew it! Now go home!"

I started my stride again towards the lunchroom, but this time it was his voice that stopped me.

"What do you think the police will say when I mention XANA?" he asked, I could evidently hear the smugness in his voice.

I did my best to keep my face a mask, but it was a little difficult.

"XANA?" I questioned innocently, turning back to him. "What's that? Some kind of game?"

"Don't play dumb," Mike said and held up a maroon and pink book.

My diary.

"How did you get that?!" I screeched, marching over to him.

He deliberately moved the book out of my reach and leaned forward. That was the same trick he did when he first kissed me, so I was prepared. I stopped short and grabbed his shirt.

"Give it back right now, you bastard!"

"Ah,ah,ah," he chided, waving a finger. "Be nice, Dialla. Or all your little secrets about this XANA thing will go straight to the police."

I glared daggers at him, and, seeing no way out of this, I released him and sighed.

"What do you want?"

"It's just like I said. Break up with your boyfriend and be my girlfriend. Then, once I'm absolutely positive you won't do anything bad, I'll give you your diary back."

"Fine," I grumbled and finally arrived at the lunchroom.

"About time!" Odd cried.

"What took you so long?" Yumi asked.

I ignored her and looked at Ulrich. "Ulrich, can we talk for a sec?"

He looked confused, but nodded and followed me outside, along with his burger. We walked over to a secluded place and at first I planned to tell him about me being blackmailed, but I saw Mike following us slowly. When I turned around to face him, he was handing me his burger. I stared at him shocked, my mouth slightly open.

"Here," he said, smiling. "Lunch is almost over and you haven't eaten."

I hesistated, staring at the half-eaten burger. Water began to form in my eyes and I blinked several times to get rid of them. Slowly, I reached out and grabbed the burger. I moved the burger to my lips, beginning to take a bite, but I stopped.

"Ulrich...." I said, taking a deep breath. "I... we need to break up."

His usually clam brown eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

"I'm so sorry!" I cried, dropped the burger and ran as fast as I could, getting away from the pain and hurt that was plastered on his face.

I finally stopped running when I reached the front gate of the school. Tears poured down my cheeks as I chocked on sobs. my shoulders shook violently and I could evidently hear the smugness in Mike's voice as he spoke: "Aww, no need to cry. You're with me now,"

Surprisingly, I stopped crying for a moment and turned to face him. He was only a few feet from me which was his mistake. Curling my hands into fists, I brought up my right hand and punched him as hard as I could in the jaw. He staggered back and fell, clutching his mouth. He moaned loudly and I turned and headed towards me room in the academy.

Ulrich's POV

I watched in shock as my brown haired love disappeared quickly. I noticed tears in her eyes and stared absentmindedly at the still half-eaten burger that lay on the grassy ground. I turned in the direction Dialla ran in and noticed a dirty blonde hair boy following her. I glared at him in anger, but went back to join my friends at the lunchroom. Noticing the lethal glare upon my face, they didn't question me once. Before we went out seperate ends, I saw Yumi and Odd whisper with each other, but I didn't question it. For the rest of the day, Dialla never appeared for class. And at the same time, I couldn't get her out of my head. I was so confused. She breaks up with me but doesn't even explain why. It didn't make any sense. Once the bell rang, I went to my usual spot for sulking. The woods.

Yumi's POV

Odd and I approached room 205 and my pale hand knocked several times with much more force than necissary. For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Then, there was a click and the door opened hesitantly and I percieve a bloodshot brown eye filled with tears.

"We need to talk," I said firmly.

The door began to close but I prevented her from doing so by stopping the door with my foot. I pushed on the door until it fully opened and Odd and I stepped inside then shut the door.

"Why did you break up with Ulrich?" I questioned.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Odd added.

She hesitated but then took a deep breath and explained the situation. When she finished, my mouth nearly fell open in shock.

"You're ex-boyfriend is blackmailingyou?!" I cried incredulously.

She nodded once frowning. Her tears were gone but her eyes were still red. She sniffled a few times.

"Yeah, he somehow got a hold of my diary and now he is blackmailing me into being his girlfriend."

"Why didn't you say no?" asked Odd.

"Because, I wrote mostly about us being Lyoko Warriors and XANA and everything. If the police ever got that information, they'd shut down the supercomputer and we would have no way of fighting XANA or saving Dan and William."

"But why couldn't you tell Ulrich the truth?" I inquired.

"Believe me, I was going to. But Mike followed us and I knew he was watching so I had to make it look real otherwise he wouldn't have believed it," A moment later her cell phone vibrated an she pulled it out of her pocket.

She scowled and read the message she received. "It's him. He wants me to meet him in the park."

She shoved the phone back into her pocket and stood up. "Could you guys do me a favor? Could you explain all this to Ulrich and tell him I'm sorry."

The she slipped out of her room.
