The crew made their way to Mikhail. "It's time" Hall said to himself. "Alright Talons, Andrew it's time you let us take the reins of this" Hall told him. "What?" Andrew said confused, "I'm going to talk to shepherd" Aelita said. "I was given the orders, he told me you wouldn't take this well" Hall told them. "You can't do this" Andrew said
"Well I can" Hall said. "This is unfair, there is going to be repercussions" Aelita said. "No one needs to get hurt here" Hall said. "Is that a threat?" Andrew asked. "I don't make threats. I make guarantees." Hall remarked "What's going to happen to Dimitri?" Andrew asked. "Him and his friends will be..detained" hall informed them. "What about Vasiliev?" Aelita said.
"He's just a loose end" Hall said. Hall pulled his gun out and shot Vasiliev."Aelita run!" Andrew yelled to her. Andrew shot one of the talons. He slid down an incline. Hall looked around, "You there, Aelita? That was a big mistake. It did not have to be like this!" Hall said out-loud. Andrew got up and saw he had a wound in his side.
Andrew switched his comms to a private one with Aelita. "Aelita are you safe?" Andrew said. "Yes, make your way to the church" Aelita informed him. Andrew traversed through the houses. Andrew made it to a tunnel. It was flooded enough to swim in it, Andrew dove under the water.
The talons were walking through the flooded tunnel as best as they could. Andrew swam to make sure he wasn't caught. Andrew grabbed one of them, and proceeded to drown him. Andrew grabbed his rifle, he traversed to the church, "Aelita" Andrew whispered. Aelita opened the gate, crimson talons saw them and andrew let loose on the mercenaries.
The two ran back to Mikhail, Andrew lagged behind so Aelita could escape if he got captured. They were both out of breath, "what happened? Where's Vasiliev?" Ulrich asked. "Dead" Andrew said, "how the fuck did that happen?" Yumi asked. "Hall shot him, the talons are under shepherd's order" Aelita told them. "Who is shepherd again?" Odd asked.
"He greenlights trips to and from lyoko" Andrew said drawing his breath. "Shepherd burned us" yumi said. Yumi patched up andrew for the wounds he got, Andrew saw a tower similar to lyoko. There were things flying around the tower, "hey Mikhail, what is this tower for?" Andrew asked. "Well ever since this place was made, it's been the building block of Xanadu, it helps shape Xanadu" Mikhail said
"That's what Hall might do, he'll probably try to take it down" Andrew said. "Well we need to take him out, we're going rogue. We have execute authority on Hall." Aelita said. "What are you going to do to him"Ulrich asked. Andrew heard a ticking sound. "Oh shit everyone get out" Andrew yelled. An explosion radiated out,Andrew tried to cover Aelita to protect her.
Andrew and Aelita woke up and it seemed familiar, "where are we?" Aelita asked.
