Alright guys and gals

I'm back with another chapter

This one is going to be very emotional

Last Chapter

"It seems that XANA sabotaged the virtualization process."

"What does that mean?" Yumi asked.

"It means that we only have power to send one person."

"And whoever goes," Jeremy started. "Could possible die." Jeremy said. "So," Jeremy started. "who's it gonna be?"Aelita, Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich all looked at each other.

"Alright guys," Odd started. "I'll go."

"NO!" Aelita said. "I'll go."

"No I can't stand to lose you."

"Guys." Ulrich said.

"If you die, I'd kill myself." Aelita said.

"Guys." Ulrich said a little louder.

"No," Yumi said. "I'm going."

"Guys!" Ulrich said. Everyone in the room looked at him. "It should be me."

Chapter 9

Yumi looked at Ulrich with a shocked look on her face.

"Ulrich," Jeremy said. "Are you sure?"

"…Yes." Ulrich said looking at Yumi. He then turned and looked at Jeremy. "I'm sure."

"Ok." Jeremy said turning back to the computer. "I'll start the virtualization process."

"Ok." Ulrich said walking into the elevator, followed by Odd, Yumi, and Aelita. The elevator on the bottom floor about a minute later, and everyone walked out.

"Just step inside the scanner whenever ready, Ulrich." Jeremy said over the intercom.

"Ok." Ulrich walked up to Aelita. He then gave her a hug. "Promise me that you guy'll stay friends, Ok?"

"I promise." Ulrich then walked over to Odd.

"Take care of Yumi for me." Ulrich said.

"I will." They then shared quick hug. He then walked up to Yumi. Her eyes were blood-shot red from crying.

"I guess this is it, huh." Yumi said.

"Yeah." Ulrich said. "I guess so."

"But there's so many things do with you," Yumi said. "So many things wanna tell you."

"I know, Yumi"

"Here." Yumi said reaching into her pocket. "Take this." Yumi said putting something in Ulrich's hand. She then closed it. Ulrich then opened his hand. Inside was necklace with a red heart shaped hand grenade pendent. (AN: the same necklace from AMWTL.) "It's the necklace you gave me for my birthday." Yumi stepped a little closer. "Take it, only if you promise to bring it back." Yumi started. "Cuz if you promise, then." Yumi stopped when she felt tear running down her face. "Then I know I'll see you again."

"Yumi?" Ulrich said. "If we make it through this."

"When we make it through this."

"Right." Ulrich said. "When we make it through this," Ulrich started. "I have a few things I wanna talk to you about."

"I think I'd be willing to listen." Yumi said with a smile. "And no matter how this will end, this whole we've been on together," Yumi started. "I wouldn't change it for the world." Yumi said taking his hands. "Not one bit."

"Me neither." Yumi then stood on her tippy toes, and kissed Ulrich on the check. She then started to walk away. She saw Aelita tilting her head towards Ulrich. She then walked up to her.

"This may be the last you'll ever see Ulrich." Aelita said. "Do you really want to spend of your life regretting not telling him how you really feel?" Aelita's words hit Yumi like a ton of bricks. She turned aroud and Ulrich about to step into the scanner.

"Ulrich!" Yumi said. When Ulrich turned around, he saw Yumi running towards him.

"What're yo-." Ulrichs words cut off by Yumi's lips. Ulrich soon returned the kiss. When air became a necessity, they broke the kiss. "Wow." Ulrich said. "Remind me to save the world more often." Ulrich said stepping into the scanner. He then turned around and stared at Yumi. "I love you, Yumi."

"I love you too." The scanner then shut.
