Roderick arrived at the waitress' home, it wasn't far from where she worked, it was your basic one story with a basement. Roderick unlocked the front door and threw his suitcase into the guest room, then he looked out the window and said to himself, "I just hope I'm not too late…I just hope someone found it." Then came the positive thought, "Don't say that Roger buddy, someone found that message…and who knows, they may be able to do something about it?"

MEANWHILE…LYOKO: FOREST REGION…SEVERAL DAYS LATER:

"This is strange, that's the third tower I've found this week." Aelita said to herself, Jeremy was on his computer marking the three towers they already found, two were in the desert region…and now this one. "There doesn't seem to be any connection besides that they're all the same?" Jeremy then muttered to himself, "Just what are you up to Xana?"

Just then Aelita heard something come up behind her, she turned around and saw nothing. Just as she was turning around to face the tower again, something fell from the trees and landed right in front of her. It grabbed her by the wrist and held her against itself. "Jeremy Help…I'm—!"

"AELITA!" Jeremy called out, but there was no response. He quickly phoned the others to meet him at the factory as soon as possible.

Aelita didn't put up much of a fight, she knew it be useless to try and break the grip of the person holding her, "So I was right, you'd be here checking out our latest installment," suddenly Warlock appeared from behind a tree and continued, "but mind your wandering eyes…because now, we've got you." Aelita looked at the person and asked, "Who are you?" Warlock gave a swish of his robe and said, "Just call me Warlock for now, the one holding you is my associate Sargent Bash…but get us mad, and you may not live long enough to have to remember." Aelita gave a puzzled look and asked, "You're not part of Xana…are you?" Warlock gave a muffled laugh and replied, "I have no idea what you're talking about, we are LEGION…and soon we will control Lyoko with an iron fist."

Jeremy had managed to contact Ulrick and Yumi…he transferred them to Lyoko immediately to find their friend.

"Jeremy…are you sure she's here?" Yumi asked, "This was her last known location…keep searching, I'll stay here and keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary."

Ulrick then grabbed the hilt of his sword and said, "Something doesn't feel right, it's too quiet around here…Jeremy anything weird yet?"

Jeremy replied, "No…but keep your eyes, wait a second…guys, there's something coming up right behind you."

Just then Ulrick and Yumi saw a blue fireball appear in front of them, that fireball soon formed a circle of many around them. Soon they heard a voice echo: "Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in magic?" then it echoed, "You will…when you meet, the Warlock." Just then a person in a heavy black robe appeared, Ulrick drew his sword, Yumi pulled out her fan. Warlock just smiled and said, "Dear boy…didn't your mother tell you not to play with sharp objects?" he then pet his pointer finger on the tip of the blade and sent a bit a electricity through it, causing Ulrick to drop it.

"Where's our friend?" Yumi asked, sounding irritated. Warlock turned to her and said, "Do not threat my dear for she is safe…but her wellbeing depends on your next action." Yumi attacked him, but he quickly leapt out of the way and said, "You know I could ask Sargent Bash to dislocate your friends shoulder for that little trick, but twisting your emotions is not the reason I'm here talking to you, I'm here to ask you to join our cause…together, perhaps we can benefit each other no?"

"We're listening?" Ulrick said, Warlock continued, "For months our boss Devian has been wishing to capture Lyoko for the majestic jewel that it is, that is why he created LEGION…that is why we are part of LEGION. Join us…and together we will rule Lyoko together!"

Ulrick picked up his blade and said, "Sorry buddy…but tell your boss we're not interested."

Warlock then gave a depressed look and said, "It grieves my heart to hear you say this, for…I was not born to take no for an answer." Warlock then pulled a staff out of his robe and fired a energy blast at Ulrick, Ulrick deflected it with his sword. Suddenly Sargent Bash appeared with Aelita still in his tight grasp, "They refused…eliminate of her!" Warlock shouted out, SB started moving her towards the edge…towards the depths of Lyoko, to which nothing would return.

Ulrick saw this and charged for SB, Ulrick elbowed SB in the chest…causing him to lose his grip on Aelita. Sargent Bash looked up at Ulrick and with a sneer on his face growled, "You're going to pay for that…kid!" Sargent Bash then tackled Ulrick to the ground. "Aelita run for it…get out of here or they'll get you again!" Aelita did as Ulrick told her and ran, Warlock attacked Yumi with his staff, she quickly ducked and tripped him.

On the other hand, Sargent Bash was overpowering Ulrick…that was until Ulrick did that Triplicate ability of his and outnumbered SB three to one, Sargent Bash gradded his pointer finger and squeezed it saying: "This isn't over yet sunny boy." And vanished.

Warlock saw this and while reaching into one of his robe pockets said, "You haven't heard the last of LEGION." He pulled out a smoke orb, and when the smoke subsided…he vanished.

After they got back Yumi and Ulrick told Jeremy what they had learned, "And LEGION as you put it…is creating these towers to take over Lyoko?" Jeremy asked, Ulrick nodded. "Aelita showed us the warning message when we met up again, one thing I couldn't stop noticing is the guy's eye color." Yumi added.

MEANWHILE…

Sissy was showing Roderick around, "And here's your room key…any questions?" Roderick looked at her for a few seconds then shook his head. "Good." She said, as she was leaving she mumbled, "Don't see why I had to do this anyway." Roderick put the key in it's lock and muttered, "I thought she'd never leave." Jim then appeared with Roderick's suitcase in tow. Roderick gave him a ten for the service, Jim said, "You know something kid, I think I'm going to like having you around here." Before he left Jim added, "Oh…I almost forgot, a box full of tech stuff came for you…I guess you want me to bring it up here?" Roderick looked out the window and said, "Would you please…it be well worth that ten I just gave you if you did?"

As Roderick looked at his room's computer and then outside…he thought to himself, "I'll have to go back soon…LEGION is still a threat, and I'm the shield!" he then said to himself, "I'll have to get a few things running first though?"
