Roderick was back in his room, he didn't know why but something told him that Tao Li was still the one he had met the one he had betrayed long ago when he was part of their group, Tao had called him his friend before Roderick had defected, before he had become a hunted man.

Hellsing said, "Cheer up dear Roderick, it still may not be the same Tao Li you remember?"

Roderick turned over on his bed and replied, "It's him I know it, it just has to be…Devian found out where I am, I have to leave, I have to get out of here!"

Hellsing then said, "Roderick, you can't keep running from them…you know if you just run for it they'll find you again sooner or later, and plus you still need to hide that third CD may I remind you of what is on that disk."

Roderick then realized that Hellsing was right, "Yeah I suppose you're right, and you don't have to remind me what's on that disk. The only problem is where to hide it?"

MEANWHILE…AT LEGION HEADQUARTERS:

Valaad and Cyril had just arrived; Sabrina greeted them and said that Devian wanted to have a word with them. They entered the conference room when a screen came on and Devian's silhouette came on the screen, "Hello gentlemen…I do hope that your flight here was comfortable?"

Valaad was the first to speak, "Yeah, but I don' see why yeh had to call us to come here?"

Cyril followed with, "You said that there was some urgent news you had to speak to us about, and I for one would like to know what exactly is going on!"

"La patience mon cher Cyril, la Patience …I will explain it to you soon enough, just know I have a job for both of you, and I need it done flawlessly." Devian replied, Valaad finished with: "Okay then, let's hear it an' get it over wit'."

Devian then said, "I know that I don't need to tell you about my precious towers in Lyoko?" both Valaad and Cyril nodded.

Devian continued, "Well, as of the last few weeks our progress has been…how should I put this, sidelined…due to four people capable of going there too. Whether they are hackers, or just some kids who got hold of a good thing, we know not."

"You mean to tell us that Warlock, Dark Angel, and Sargent Bash…got beat by a bunch of petits gosses!" Cyril laughed. Valaad then added, "I jus' knew that Sarge would one day bite off a bit more than he could chew."

Suddenly a voice came from behind them saying, "Don't underestimate them you two, they're skilled in their offense and defense…you two underestimate them and you'll end up getting your butts kicked too." Cyril looked behind and saw Warlock leaning against the wall behind them.

Devian then said, "Warlock is correct, don't underestimate them…in fact, that is why I'm sending Warlock, Seraph, and Dark Angel with you."

Warlock's spine at that moment froze, "S-S-Seraph sir, I d-d-don't understand why we would n-need her along?" he said.

"Why not Warlock, are you still afraid of what I did at our last sleepover?" Sabrina asked, a sort of gurgling noise emanated from Warlock's throat. He was at a loss of words.

"All that aside." Devian said in a commanding tone, "You two along with Dark Angel will accompany Nightmare and Phantomae, is that clear?" They both nodded.

MEANWHILE…AT THE FACTORY:

Jeremy was doing some diagnostics on the CODE: EARTH program when he got a signal from the Mountain Region of Lyoko, he scanned it and found it was another LEGION tower, he called Odd, Yumi, and Ulrick and told them to come to the factory immediately.

Meanwhile Roderick had gotten the same signal, he ready the gateway for use…and quickly went through.

At that time the others were already there and heading for the tower, when they were at least ten yards from it when Warlock and Dark Angel appeared. "I'm afraid we can't allow you to go any farther than you have now!" Warlock said in a commanding tone.

"Listen…you guys are the bad guys, and we're the good guys…so why not just get out of our way and let us take out that tower of yours?" Odd asked.

"Well I guess the five of us will just have to get our hands dirty and make you leave this tower alone?" Dark Angel said with what looked like a bluffing sigh.

Yumi then said, "Maybe you two don't know how to count, but there are four of us…and only two of you."

"But that is where you are wrong young lady, for we have friend in hiding…and they're dying to meet you."

Suddenly from the ground came the sound of an organ, the ground shook and the group watched as a pipe organ, playing the theme from The Phantom of the Opera, rose out of the ground. Sitting at the top of it was an angel-like figure in a white robe; four white wings shimmered behind it. The person playing the organ looked very much like the Andrew Lloyd Weber version of the Phantom right down to the mask. And kneeling right beside him was a really creepy looking knight (I guess Nightmare from Soul Caliber would be an example of what this guy looked like).

Warlock then said, "Say hello to our friends, Seraph, Nightmare, and our musical guest Phantomae."

They all looked ready to spring an attack, Warlock looked at them and taunted, "The fear in you is strong yes, you are afraid to fail!"

Meanwhile Wizard was making tracks…why the gateway had dropped him off so far from the tower he had no clue, when he arrived he saw the battle had gone underway. He also saw that Devian had sent Seraph, Nightmare and Phantomae. But the thing that seemed strange was that Dark Angel had been sent alone, usually Dark Angel would always come accompanied by either Warlock or SB. "Well, well, well…so you finally came to join the party Wizard, shall we dance." Wizard pulled out his staff and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Meanwhile Yumi was having problems with Dark Angel, not only was he hard to keep still, but from what Jeremy had told her his wing attacks were only weakening her down by 10 hit points each time. Probably to wear her down before he made his main attack.

Odd was having only minor disputes with Phantomae for these two reasons, One: Phantomae was quicker than he was, Two: Phantomae was armed with a saber and was deflecting every Laser Arrow with it, Suddenly Phantomae covered himself with his cape.

Odd gave a mocking laugh and said, "If you think that cape is going to save you, you better think again." He aimed a Laser Arrow directly at the cape and fired when it hit the cape came off and underneath was nothing but Phantomae's mask. Odd picked it up and thought, "Where is he…he just couldn't have up and left?"

All the sudden Odd heard inside his head a voice…it said (or sang for that matter): "The Phantom of the Opera is there…inside YOUR MIND!" All the sudden Odd felt something hit him hard in the back, the mask flipped in the air like a coin and landed back on Phantomae's face. "Tour impressionnant, wouldn't you say?" Phantomae said. Odd didn't answer, "Le petit camarade silencieux, aren't you? Ah, don't worry, the Angel of Music will make you speak!"

Ulrick was probably having the worst luck, Nightmare was a complete powerhouse…one thrust of his lance had depleted Ulrick of at least 40 hit points, "I'd think abou' runnin' laddie…if I waz you." Ulrick got up and kept his sword pointed at Nightmare, Nightmare gave a harsh laugh and said, "Laddie, do you think that flimsy thing is gonna protect yer from me?" Ulrick didn't answer.

Wizard and Warlock were still going at it, blasting back and forth. "I wish you hadn't gone and defected from us Wizard, my friend it saddens me that we have to fight each other." Warlock said, Wizard laughed at this and said, "Saddens you, when I was with the group you only showed insanity. You're not going to get away with this, I won't let you!" Warlock then said, "What makes you think we haven't already, you know what those towers are capable of…once the Dark Tower is constructed, we will have endless power over the Internet. Everyone said the Internet was for everyone to share, but LEGION will finally put a price tag on it."

Suddenly Warlock heard SB's voice say, "Don't even think about taking him on, he's still got most of his hit points. Yours are nearly spent, come back to base immediately!" Warlock looked at Wizard and said, "Looks like will have to finish this another day Roderick, Ciao for now." And with that Warlock disappeared.

Wizard then looked at the tower and said, "This one's mine!" With one mighty leap he landed on his feet and made a dash for the tower.

Dark Angel finally had the girl where he needed her to be, one shot is all he needed, he let his wings out in full spread, a black light sort of glow emanated from them. Dark Angel yelled: "SHADOW ARRAY!" and just like that a beam of dark energy came out of them and aimed for Yumi, at that moment she saw something stand in the way of the beam and fly over her. It was Wizard; he had taken what would've been a silver bullet for her. When he got up Yumi saw the face behind the robe, it was Roderick! She looked into his eyes and he into hers', both of them speechless. Then Wizard realized his face was exposed, he quickly recovered it, picked himself up and ran for the tower.

Seraph had seen Wizard and thought to herself, "Wizard's alive…I have to tell Devian, words are going to fly when he hears this!" and with that she disappeared.

Wizard entered the tower and destroyed it, Hellsing activated CHRONO-REWIND. And the day started over again, Yumi still couldn't believe Wizard was Roderick. Suddenly there came a knock on the door, she opened it and there was Roderick on the other side. "You know my secret now…the question is can I trust you with this?" Roderick said in a whisper reaching into his pocket, he then pulled out a CD and said, "I need a place to hide this for awhile, hide it well…keep it safe." And with that he started to leave.

"Roderick…wait," Yumi said in a worried tone, grabbing Roderick's arm. "Why the secrecy…why not tell us what you know, please if you know how to fight these LEGION creeps…then please team up with us."

Roderick gave her a look of both sadness and worry and said, "I work alone…hide that disk is all I ask of you."

MEANWHILE…AT LEGION HEADQUARTERS:

Warlock told Sargent Bash about the others seeing Wizard, they both begged Nightmare and Phantomae not to tell Devian, Nightmare said: "Don' worry yourself your secret is safe wit' me."

"De même qu'I." said Phantomae.

Later on Warlock and Sargent Bash were summoned to see Devian, they wondered what he could want from them?

When they entered the room with the screen, they saw Sabrina right next to it, Devian said: "Sit down, I have something to ask both of you." Warlock and SB did as they had been offered, Devian continued, "A little bird told me earlier today that it had seen something that it thought was an illusion, but when it saw it was real it flew over here and gave me the news," They both looked at Sabrina who had a evil looking smile on her face, "The question is, how could you let it happen?!"

"Ah, we don't know what you mean sir?" Sargent Bash said.

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME SB! I KNOW THAT WIZARD'S ALIVE! I MEAN I GIVE YOU TWO ONE EASY MISSION AND YOU SCREW IT UP!" Devian barked at them.

"Devian, we had no idea he'd attack himself…I just thought it be better if we didn't have to give you the bad news because you just seem so happy with success."

Devian slammed down on the table in the screen and said, "DO I LOOK LIKE A LITTLE KID WHO'LL THROW A TEMPERTANTRUM IF HE'S NOT PLEASED!?! NO I THINK NOT!!!!!"

"But you sure are acting like one." Warlock thought to himself, Cyril heard the yelling and entered the room.

Devian finally calmed down and said, "Maybe I've underestimated these kids and Wizard all together, it's like the proverb says: Si vous voulez quelque chose fait, faites irréprochablement il vous!"

"I couldn't have put it better myself, though it actually says: If you want something done right, do it yourself. But your version also does it justice." Cyril commented.

"Does that mean—?" SB asked, but before he could finish Devian said, "Yes my dear Sargent Bash, I will go to Lyoko and battle these children myself, Seraph and Phantomae will accompany me…of course, and for punishment, Sarge I believe being suspended from the virtualizer for a few days should cover you."

"I guess that goes for me as well?" Warlock asked.

Devian shook his head and replied, "No, Sabrina has thought of an appropriate punishment for you." He looked at her and saw she had a pair of handcuffs in her hand. "She believes that a sleepover is in order for you, I don't see why it'd be a punishment. But she's always surprised me."

Warlock took one look at the handcuffs and in a small high-pitched voice bleated out "Mother."
