Sorry for the way long wait for an update. Been so much crap going on (I know you are all probably tired of hearing all of this, but it is a drama fanfic lol)...I've just basically gotten into a big fight with my best friend, most likely have lost her. Two of my grandmothers have passed away this year. I just moved to a new house with my new boyfriend (I love him to pieces though! He said he hopes to make me his wife someday. :D Not every day you hear that from the one you love!) And now my sister is claiming that my uncle on my mom's side raped her while she was up in trinity visiting our mother. (Parent's divorced about 10 years ago ..) Well, anyways, my life story over, here is chapter 7 and maybe 8 if I get to it this morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the two boys neared the factory a thought hit Ulrich fast, "Wait...what happened to Yumi's mother?" And as if on cue, Mrs. Ishiyami came flying down at them from one of the tree tops above them. Unable to react fast enough and caught off their guard, she grabbed Odd by the shoulder and sent him flying into Ulrich back away from the bridge. "Man! We don't have time for this! Yumi's life depends on me getting there to her!" He shouted as Odd helped him up.

"Ulrich, we may not both be able to go, but I can hold off mom long enough for you to go help rescue Yumi. I'll catch up with you later." Ulrich nodded as the blonde haired boy got into his figting stance and smirked at Yumi's mother. "I never did like over-protective parents!" He shouted as he lunged at her, giving Ulrich just the chance he was waiting for.

He took his chance and ran across the bridge into the factory building and into the elevator. She looked towards the factory after him but was distracted by Odd, "Hey! I thought I was your favorite boy!" He shouted as he picked up a stick near him and ran at her with it. She mearly slapped it from his grasp and sent him flying into a tree with a bolt of electricity. X.A.N.A's marks in her eyes pulsated as she smirked at Odd's bruised body lying limp against the tree...

--------------

Ulrich ran out of the elevator into the super computer room where Jeremy and Aelita were waiting. "Where's Odd?" Jeremy asked as he looked to Ulrich, who only shook his head disappointedly. "He had an appointment with Yumi's possesed mother." Aelita gasped.

Now not only did she have one soul weighing down her actions, but she had two. None of them could actually take on a possesed human or a polymorphic spector. It was impossible. She had to deactivate the tower to save Odd and then find an antidote for Yumi before the virus kills her. "You two head down to the scanner room. I should be able to locate Yumi's location on Lyoko by the time you reach the scanners." They both nodded and did as they were told.

He typed furiously on his keyboard until he heard their voices come up from the scanner room. "Okay Jeremy," Came Aelita's voice, "we're ready." "Alright you guys. I've located Yumi in the ice region. In fact, she is inside the activated tower..." Jeremy said worriedly.

---------------------------

'I have to keep X.A.N.A occupied...just for a while anyway...I'm sure Jeremy and the others will be able to deactivate the tower soon.' Odd thought to himself as he ran for his life through the woods, trying to escape Mrs. Ishiyami. "I hope you guys know what you're doing..." He mumbled to himself as he stopped for a breather. X.A.N.A wasn't too far behind him...

--------------------------

As the two Lyoko warriors materialized and fell to the ground, they were greeted by a couple of blocks. "Aelita, watch out!" Ulrich cried out as he used his sword to block the laser attack that was shot at her. She backed up behind him as he blocked off shots from the monsters. "Aelita," Jeremy's voice came over the intercom,"let Ulrich take care of the blocks there. Head for the tower. It should be well in your sight if you look behind you."

And as he had told her, the glowing red tower stood high behind them. Ulrich blocked off a few more shots and then used his super sprint over to one block, jumping on top of it and stabbing it in the eye with his impact attack, jumping off of it to the other and doing the same. As he landed nimbly back on his feet infront of Aelita, the blocks exploded and the two warriors took off for the tower.

As they reached the tower, around 5 hornets came swooping down to stop them. One of them shot at Aelita, hitting her in the shoulder. "You guys! Be careful! Aelita, you're down to 80 life points!" Jeremy shouted at them. Ulrich helped her up and blocked off a few more shots with his sword. "This isn't going to be easy...Hang on Princess!" He held her in one arm and blocked off attacks as he used his super sprint to get over to the tower with Aelita.

"Go in and get Yumi. Then, deactivate the tower. I'll stay here and fight off these guys." She nodded to him and ran into the tower. Upon entering, she spotted Yumi lying on the platform unconcious. "Jeremy! I've got Yumi! She's safe, but unconcious."

Suddenly Yumi's eyes shot open and she stood up, picking up Aelita by the neck with her. "Y-yumi! What are you doing?!" Yumi just grinned and held out one of her fans as she jumped over the side of the platform, taking Aelita with her. As they fell, Aelita watched in horror as Yumi's fan flew at the top of the tower and sliced the data window in half.

On the outside of the tower, after the last hornet fell and exploded, Ulrich turned and watched in horror as the tower dissolved away. "YUMI!" "Ulrich! Hurry to another tower! The girls are fine, but it seems Yumi is being possesed by X.A.N.A and she's taken Aelita to another sector!" Ulrich nodded as his bike materialized in front of him, "There's one just south of your current position. Hurry!"

------------------

Odd looked back in time to see Yumi's mother colapse as X.A.N.A's control on her slipped away. He picked her up best he could and carried her to the factory with him, so he knew she was out of danger from the forest. He set her down against the wall infront of the hanging ropes and swung down infront of the elevator.

------------------

As the elevator opened, Jeremy looked over to see the other blonde haired boy looking straight back at him, "Hurry down to the scanners! I'll fill in the details on the trip to Lyoko." "I guess that means I haven't missed too much of the party then..." Odd replied as the door closed and he desended further down to the scanner room.

-------------------

"Odd's on his way Ulrich." He gave a sigh of relief at Jeremy's words as he entered the tower and jumped into the data stream. As he flew back up and drove outside into the mountain region, Jeremy spoke up again, "From here, head towards northeast. That tower should take you to the forest region, where you will find the two girls." "Gotchya Jeremy." He replied as he drove off at top speed towards the other tower.

Meh...I think I'll save the rest for chapter 8 lol. I think I have enough for this chapter on here anyways. I went back and read alot of the reviews and just felt like making a quick point. Not being rude, but I don't care what you guys think about how I write my stories. I do take some things to mind, but I just write for the pure joy of getting my ideas out to others. And the reason why I don't update alot is cause unlike alot of people, I'm not much of a computer person nor do I have all the time in the world to spend on a computer. I'm not mad or anything, just answering questions. :P I love you all and I want to satisfy your wanting of more of the story, you just have to understand that I just got done with high school and am trying to get on my feet. Anyways, thanks for reading! I enjoy the reviews!
