Chapter 13: Fight to the Finish

"See you girls at the mall, and be careful Ami," Odd said through the window.

"Aren't I always?" Ami asked starting the car and pulling out. When they pulled into the police station, they saw that all the police cars were gone. They walked in and went to the back of the station to where the holding cells are, Yumi looked in one and got grabbed by the collar and slammed into the bars.

"You bastard! Let me out of here my fiance needs me, I promised that I would protect her but I've failed. I don't deserve to live," ULrich replied with the blindfold still on. Ami scanned the card and caught Ulrich as he was falling from exhaustion, Yumi put her arm around his ower waist while she draped his arm across her shoulders. They walked out to the car and placed ulrich on the beck seat, Yumi sat backthere just in case he woke up. When he did wake up he could see Yumi talking on the phone, he reached over and grabbed the phone and put it on mute.

"What are you doing Ulrich?"Yumi asked trying to grab the phone back.

"I want to apologize for not being there with you, I made you a promise and I broke it," he said taking her chin in his hand and kissed her lips. She sat there a minute until she kissed back, Ulrich loved this so much that he forgot Odd was on the other line and he hit end by accident. Ami pulled into the back of the mall to see Odd and them waiting by his truck, she got out the car and walked over to hima and hugged him.

"Woah, what is this for?" Odd asked confused.

"Just in case we don't come out alive I wanted to hug you and hold you close one more time," Ami answered.

"Where's Yumi and ULrich?" Aelita asked.

"In the car "making up" for lost times, anyway when they're done we'll head inside," Ami answered.

"When we run into Xana what do we do?" Jeremie asked this time.

"I don't know that yet but me and Odd keep weapons in our vehicles just in case someone tries to break in," Ami answered going to her car and opening the trunk to reveal a M16, a double-barrel shotgun, a few grenades and flashbangs, and a few walkie-talkies. Odd went to his truck and took out a crossbow and arrows, a Ak-47, and a pouch of throwing stars.

"Are we going to war?" Aelita asked.

"Yep, a war for humanity," Ami answered picking up the M16 with some grenades and flashbangs strapped to her belt. Then Ami's door flew open to reveal Ulrich coming out with a katana, and Yumi had some metal tessen fans. Both of them walked up to Odd and them with big smiles.

"So you guys ready to do this?" ULrich asked slyly.

"Where did you get these weapons?" Ami asked examining the sword.

"The sword and fans were in my car, that's why I it took me so long to get in yours," Yumi answered.

"Alrighty then, let's see who has what," Ami said checking everyone's weapons. Odd had the crossbow and arrows, Jeremie had the double-barreled shotgun, and Aelita had the AK-47 and throwing stars.

"Let's do this, so I can go home and get a goodnight sleep," Odd said excitedly. Then all of a sudden police cars started to come to the back but luckily for the group they hid their cars in a dark place. The cops came out with their guns drawn and lights flashing, the group opened the door and closed it as soon as bullets started to fly. Odd put a heavy object to the door with help from Ulrich to keep them out. The group then walked down the lobby with weapons drawn and went into an electronics store since Xana likes to possess objects. They heard an evil laugh coming from the tvs and they looked to see the store clerk

being possessed by Xana.

"Well done Lyoko Warriors, you should have made sure I was dead before shutting me down," Xana said evilly.

"You're nothing but a ghost," Odd said loading his crossbow.

"Ha, your mortal weapons can't kill me," he answered.

"That's right, we didn't think this through you guys," Odd replied.

"Aelita and me did, we figured out that all of you still have some of Lyoko's DNA codes inside you. That means you'll have to find a way to activate them," Jeremie said smartly. All of a sudden a little girl ran in front of the group and stopped at the tv, Xana got an evil idea and came out to his full form. He grabbed Michi by the collar and pulled her into a mini van which turned into a fast racing car.

"Catch me if you can," he said turning the car on and flooring out the back way. The police got in their cars and chased afterhim giving the group a chance to get to their cars.

"Come on guys, we have to catch up to him and save Michi," Ami said hopping in her car.

"Me, Jeremie, and Aelita will be right behind you," Odd said getting into his truck. Ami let Ulrich sit n the front and Yumi sat in the back, they caught up to Xana and went past all the police cars. Ulrich leaned out the window with Ami's grenades around his waist.

"Get me closer Ami," ULrich said quickly. She pulled closer to the car and ULrich jumped through the open window, he saw Michi in the back scared and she tried to move but the seat bellt was too tight. Finally Ulrich got the belt undone but he couldn't get out the car, he looked ahead to see that Xana was heading straight for a gap in the bridge.

"Uncle Ulrich!" Michi cried, ULrich started to pull the rings off the grenades and he used the hilt of his sword to break the window. He grabbed Michi and jumped out the window just as the car was about to go over, he hit the road hard trying to protect Michi. There was an explosion and Xana came up in his smoke form, then he transformed into Ulrich. Everyone else showed up and came to Ulrich's side Ami got really angry and red blades came out her hands.

"What the heck?" Ami asked examining the blades, they were the same ones that she had on Lyoko last year.

"That's it! Evveryone think of something bad Xana has done to you, it's the only way to activate your weapons and powers," Jeremie exclaimed. Everyone thought of stuff Xana has done to them, Ulrich thought about how Xana framed him and made him break his promise then his katana started to glow blue. Yumi thought about how Xana used Ulrich's body to rape her then her fans turned into the same ones she had on Lyoko. Odd thought about how Xana tried to hurt Ami, soon his big gloves showed up and he shot a lazer arrow. Aelita thought about how Xana killed her father soon her energy fields came out, Jeremie stayed behind a car with Michi since they don't have powers.

"You have your powers? How can that be?" Xana asked angrily.

"We are not obliged to answer that, but I'll tell you this; you have hurt my friends and family for the last time and for that we will not have mercy on you," Ami said running towards Xana, Xana dodged out the way and disappeared. He then reappeared behind Ulrich and put him in a tight head lock, he was begining to lose his breath as Xana squeezed harder. Odd tried to shoot a lazer arrow but he couldn't get a good shot.

"Let my Uncle ULrich go you big meanie!" Michi yelled jumping onto Xana's back. He let Ulrich go but then he threw Michi over the bridge, they all heard a scream followed by a splash as Michi hit the water. Ami got really angry and stabbed Xana in the stomach, he looked down to see fire in her eyes.

"You have pissed me off for the last time, now go to the dark pits of Hell where you will remain for all of eternity," Ami replied twisting her swords, Xana roared then disappeared. Ami ran over to the edge of the bridge and looked into the water, but when she did she didn't see Michi anywhere.

"You can swim right Ulrich?" Odd asked trying to comfort Ami.

"Yeah why?" ULrich asked back.

"Jump down there and rescue Michi you numskull," Odd answered.

"Right, I knew that by the way," ULrich replied climbing onto the edge of the bridge, he put his hands together and dove over the side. Everybody watched as Ulrich hit the water causing a splash, when Ulrich was underwater he could see a shark surrounding Michi''s unconcious body. He rushed over and grabbed Michi, as soon as he did that the shark charged. ULrich punched it in the nose and watched it swim back into darker waters, he then came up to the surface and swam towards shore where everyone was waiting. When Ulrich came onto shore he began to do CPR on Michi, after about 30 seconds she started to cough up water.

"Mommy?" Michi asked crying.

"I'm right here Michi, I won't ever leave you again," Ami said hugging her daughter.

"I'm sorry mommy, I should have stayed where it was safe," Michi replied crying.

"That's alright, you're alive and that's all that matters," Ami answered wiping away her tears.

"Hey kiddo, you alright?" Odd asked kneeling down next to Ami.

"Yep, can I call you Daddy now?" Michi asked curiously.

"I don't see why not, now how about some ice cream?" Odd asked ruffling her hair up.

"Okay, are you all coming?" Michi asked everyone.

"Of course we are, we just had the biggest fight of our lives and now we have the chance to start new ones," Jeremie answered.

"By the way Michi, how would you like to become a big sister?" Odd asked looking at Ami, Ami justlooked at him and kept on walking.

"I don't think so, my cousin is going to be a real handful." Michi answered.
