"We may never get
home," Aelita repeated. "But, we might as well start. Where
are the
others?"
"The others went to see if anything has changed. One group went off to fight the monsters by the tower we just deactivated." Jeremie said, still not taking his eyes off of the computer screen.
"Maybe we should join them. Maybe I can use the info from the tower and find out more . . . Maybe even a way to get back!"
"Ok," Jeremie sighed giving in. Jeremie took a few more seconds typing away on the computer. With the wave of his hand the computer screen disappeared. "Let's go," he said picking up his bostaff.
Jeremie ran to the edge of the roof and jumped.
Aelita saw little rocks coming out of the side of the school. Jeremie landed on the first one and quickly jumped from rock to rock. When he got to the bottom, he looked up and beckoned to Aelita. Aelita gracefully did the same. When she landed, Jeremie pointed to the north and they dashed off.
It took a good five or ten minutes to get there. To the two of them it seemed to last longer, because neither of them bothered to start up a conversation. They were too endorsed in their own thoughts of how to get home.
Finally they made it to the tower. Ulrich, Odd, Sissi, and Emily were already there . . . Along with quite a few of Xana's monsters. There were 3 Megatanks, 8 Kankrelots, 3 Hornets, 2 Tarantulas, and 1 Krabe. When the two caught up to Ulrich, there were; 2 Megatanks because of Ulrich; 5 Kankrelots because of Sissi; 1 Hornet because of Emily; 1 Tarantula because of Odd; and the 1 Krabe was not gone . . . until Jeremie shot an arrow into its eye.
"Okay. I feel slightly safer." Jeremie said sarcastically. "Ulrich!" he called
"Hey Jeremie. I see that Aelita is now awake."
"We came to help you get rid of the monsters so we can get some data from the tower." Aelita said quickly as she ran by Sissi, her hands charged. "Hiya!" she screamed as she shot it at some Kankrelots.
"I'll help you with your 2 Megatanks Ulrich." Jeremie said before running at the Megatank that was aiming at Aelita, his bow already loaded. He shot an arrow in front of the Megatank, distracting it in the process. It tried a fakeout fire to fool Jeremie. It rolled towards Jeremie and he quickly jumped up and landed on the Megatank. The Megatank, noticing its danger, and struggled to get him off. It started rolling even faster in circles. Jeremie, amazingly, stayed on.
Unable to find another option, the Megatank stopped and opened up. It never counted on Jeremie bringing the axe of his bostaff down onto its eye. That Megatank was taken care of. Jeremie turned just in time to see Ulrich destroy the final Megatank.
Jeremie and Ulrich looked around at what was left. Odd had destroyed the Tarantula long ago, Aelita and Sissi gave each other a big high five as Emily finished the last Kankrelot off.
As Jeremie and Ulrich watched Odd and Emily get into a 'brawl'. Odd was complaining that Emily 'stole' his kill. Aelita, shook her head as she walked into the tower. She went to the middle of the Xana symbol and floated to the next level. She then placed her hand on the screen and started browsing the tower's data. She chose a few programs and started downloading them.
Meanwhile Jeremie set up his
computer and prepared it for the download. Almost immediately, the
computer started accepting the data from the download. Aelita
came
walking out of the tower into the middle of Odd and Emily's
on going brawl.
Jeremie took a few minutes to analyze the data. Jeremie finally sighed. "There was some valuable information in that tower. Some good and some bad."
"Give us the bad first Einstein." Odd said.
"I can't right now. Plus it will be easier to have everyone together first. We must get everyone inside the school before it gets dark though…" Jeremie replied looking to see that the sun was almost on the horizon.
"Quick. Let's hurry." Aelita said alarmed.
Suddenly, there was screeching from the woods and a roar.
Okay. This chapter adds suspense and it is kind of important. I also enjoyed writing it! Please review. Tell me how I am doing.
