"Superb"
It all starts out as Ulrich practicing soccer, he scores every goal and Jim tells him that the team can't win the game without him. They finish practice and Ulrich goes to Odd and Jeremie who are watching him practice. Odd says "We will be here right now and we will be here in the game" "But not for you we just can't wait to see Sissi with her batton thats why we are coming!" In the woods Sissi is practicing with her batton she throws it in the air and it doesn't come back.
Later, Yumi is walking through the woods to go to school, and the lights started blinking and she suddently was floating in the air. Back at Kadic, Sissi is telling two girls that her batton never came back and they didn't believe her, Ulrich, Odd and Jeremie believe it is Xana.
In the cafeteria Yumi comes and Jeremie and Yumi say at the same time "We have to talk!" Back in Jeremie's room, the are talking to Aelita and what happened to Yumi. Yumi says "We can't take the risk we have to go to Lyoko and deactivate the tower" and Ulrich says "Well count me out!" Everybody is stunned, Jeremie starts yelling at him because he is not coming and says "And Aelita she is probably in danger and you you rather kick a ball around!!" and Ulrich says "Well I said I can't go and thats that!" he leaves the room and he says he is sorry, Jeremie says "Sorry?! Is that all! You rather please the fan, they are more important then your friends!", then Odd says "Leave him alone Jeremie, he has his reasons, have you ever met Ulrich's dad? If you arent first then you are nothing in his book and since his report card is kinda disastruss the only way to please his dad is..." Jeremie says "...when he plays soccer..." Yumi smiles and Odd says "Yea exactly he is playing todays game as if his life counted on it." and Aelita nods.
In the locker room Ulrich is waiting there sad for the team, Jim says this is there chance they have to win todays game, and then Matt comes from the other team and Ulrich and Matt stare at each other. In the woods Yumi, Odd and Jeremie are walking to go to the factory, Jeremie says "Why couldn't he have just tell us?" Yumi says "Ulrich? Tell a secret?" then Odd says "Why worry? Ulrich is going to win the game and we are going to save the world...besides you got me don't you?" Jeremie and Yumi smile.
Back at Kadic, Ulrich and the team are waiting to start the game, reporters Millie and Tamiya are there, and Sissi and the other students are chearing, Ulrich looks at his mom and dad, and they start the game, Ulrich runs down the field with the ball he passes it to a teammate as Matt is coming to steal the ball, he does a slide tackle to steal the ball from the player and the ball bounces off, Ulrich comes, kicks the ball and scores! Back in the factory Yumi and Odd get viurtialized, Aelita is waiting for them and they head off to the tower, Hornets are there waiting for them, they destroy more of them and have 1 left, but then a new swarm of Hornets come. Back at Kadic Ulrich scores another goal, Jeremie has found out what Xana is planning to do and calls Ulrich, Ulrich says he can't leave the game, and says "Shut up Jeremie, just...shut up" and hangs up on him. Then Ulrich goes and tries to steal the ball but gets tackled and "injures his knee" he leaves the game, but Sissi doesn't believe it and follows him.
Ulrich calls Jeremie to tell him he left the game, he goes inside to look for Mrs. Hertz. Back in Lyoko Yumi and Odd try a new tactic, Yumi uses her telekenisis, to guard her and Odd to fight the Hornets. At the science lab, Ulrich has secure Mrs. Hertz and Jeremie goes into action, but everything becomes impossible and Xana attacks again, Sissi comes flying through the building and Ulrich catches her and Jeremie tries again. But Xana changes his mind and attacks outside. In Lyoko the telekenisis has tired Yumi and Odd is running out of arrows, Aelita comes and makes a path for her to get to the tower, the Hornets see her and goes to stop her, Odd says "No Aelita is too late!" one of the Hornets shoot Aelita and she falls off. Odd and Yumi are sad, and Aelita says "Just let me know when you are finish crying" Yumi says "You were just luring them" and she says "Why of course" Jeremie then yells "Aelita you are the greatest!!!!"
At Kadic Ulrich tries to save his dad and mom from going into Orbit, everyone else is floating up, Ulrich tries to hold on to them and his dad says "I'm proud of you, I really am" and lets go of him and Ulrich yells "Noo!!!" In Lyoko Aelita goes into the tower and deactivates the tower just as Ulrich is going up aswell.
After the return trip, Ulrich is back in the game, this time Yumi, Odd and Jeremie are there to see him. Odd yells "Go Ulrich you are the champion!!" and Jeremie says "Yea but which world?" and Odd says "Why both Jeremie both", the game starts and Ulrich kicks the ball and the episode ends.
