"So much school…so little homework." Roderick mumbled to himself, making it through another day at school. The week was nearly over and yet no sign of any LEGION activity yet, but that didn't mean the worst was over. Roderick had heard that some new students were arriving in a few days, rumor had it that one of them was named Tao Li. Roderick then thought, "Tao Li, Could it be? No, no way…it's probably some other Tao Li." When he got back to his living quarters, he switched on his computer then crashed on the bed.

"What's wrong Roderick?" Hellsing asked, Roderick rolled over and replied: "Hellsing…some new students are going to be arriving at the school I go to soon."

Hellsing gave a confused look and said, "I don't see what's so wrong with that."

Roderick then said, "Well one of them, his name is Tao Li…and I'm worried that its—." Hellsing cut him off and finished with: "and you're worried that it's the Tao Li you remember, Roderick, may I remind you deeply that there are a lot of people in the world…and many of them may go by the name of Tao Li." Roderick didn't seem relieved by Hellsing's little pep talk though and said in a low tone of voice, "But I just know it's him, just call it a hunch."

MEANWHILE…IN THE FOREST REGION:

Sargent Bash took one good look around, no sign of those kids yet…but why should he worry about them now? He found the Forest Region quite relaxing, not much to do right now but to take a nap. He was just dosing off when Warlock came up beside him and whacked SB in the head with his staff, "No resting…we have a job to do." Warlock snapped at him, SB looked at Warlock's face…then at the newly constructed tower, then back to Warlock's face and grumbled: "It's still there, no need to worry."

Warlock looked back at the tower and said, "I wouldn't say that, I mean you and I are treading with trouble every day that Devian doesn't know that Wizard's still alive. I mean sure I haven't seen him, but that doesn't mean that he and that virtual nuisance Hellsing haven't found a way to get back here." Just then Warlock saw something out of the corner of his left eye, he looked in that direction and saw nothing…but he knew he had seen something there. He quickly reached into a pouch and pulled out a spyglass and scanned the area.

"What the heck are you looking for?" SB asked, Warlock pointed to a tree and whispered to him, "You go around to the right, I'll go around to the left." Both of them split up and headed down their chosen path towards the tree Warlock had pointed to.

Well to help you out it was Aelita who was hiding behind that tree; she had sensed the new tower and had been spying on it for only a few minutes. "Strange…I saw the two of them there a second ago, where could they have gotten to?" she asked herself, she got her answer when she heard Warlock shout out: "YOU AGAIN!"

She tried to run away from him, but found that SB had cut her off from the other side. "Now, little lady, I don't see what you find so fascinating about our towers? But maybe we can take you to Devian and you could give him the reason…who knows, maybe he'll let you live."

Aelita used her ability to conjure two walls, protecting her from both Warlock and SB for the moment.

MEANWHILE…BACK IN RODERICK'S ROOM:

Roderick was resting his eyes when he heard Hellsing say, "Roderick…I've got LEGION activity in the Forest Region, just Bash and Warlock. But sandwiched between them is a third signal I can't identify, it might be one of those kids."

Roderick got up from the bed and said, "Set up the gate program Hellsing, I feel like kicking some LEGION booty tonight!"

The gate opened and he went through the stabilized portal.

MEANWHILE…BACK AT THE FOREST REGION:

Sargent Bash was pacing back and forth just staring at the wall that sealed him off from his target, he shouted: "Hey Warlock, what you doing over there on your side?"

Warlock took out his staff and twisted a little sphere at the top of it, he then brought the staff head down to the ground and made a circle of black ink around him, he then inscribed a triangle in it.

SB again said, "Come on Warlock, I know you're there…what the heck are you doing?" but still no response.

Warlock then started tracing intricate designs into the spaces of the inscribed triangle, he then responded: "Just putting a few finishing touches on an incantation circle I'm making, so try not to get upset."

Aelita heard this and wondered when help (if any) would arrive, suddenly Wizard virtualized right above her. He looked at her and said, "Excuse me but if you could direct me to any bad guys so I could kick their rear ends I'd be thankful."

She pointed to the wall Warlock was behind and said that he was working on something called an incantation circle, Wizard then said, "My dear you better get low to the ground, I'm going to try and work on a counter spell…but if he's as far ahead as I think he is, I may not have time to complete it." Wizard got to his knees, pointed his staff straight up, closed his eyes and started to make this low humming noised.

Meanwhile Warlock had just completed the circle; he twisted the sphere so the staff wouldn't lay anymore ink on the circle. Then he started to trace over the design, each tracing stroke left a lavender coloured light. Once the entire circle had been lit up, he then brought his staff up and struck the circle with it. The next set of events happened real quickly, after Warlock had struck the circle, the walls sealing him and SB off from Aelita suddenly exploded. They were now free to move in and capture her.

Aelita looked up and saw that the walls had been destroyed, terrified at the sight of Warlock in front of her and SB behind. She suddenly saw Wizard get up from the ground and go into a fighter stance, Warlock then said, "So Dark Angel was right…you're alive Wizard, great to see you're back."

Wizard brought his staff head close to Warlock's neck and replied, "Spare me the speech Warlock, you and Sargent Numbnuts over there tried to kill me…I just want to know, where's Devian now, what does he have planned?"

Warlock said, "Heck if I should know and that's really none of your business, now are we going to fight…or just stand here and talk all day?" Wizard suddenly charged at Warlock and the battle between those two began, SB then saw his chance to grab Aelita and take in the glory for himself, he could just imagine Devian giving him a higher status then what he had now…maybe even saving him a spot in the Sacred Four, Devian's most cunning group.

"Come here little lady, Devian's awaiting a report and when I bring him you…he might reward me for it." SB said as he grabbed Aelita with a firm hand. Aelita, in mid panic mind you, kicked SB in the balls. SB went down wheezing and gasping for breath. Wizard looked at her and yelled, "GET OUT OF HERE, GET TO THE TOWER…GO INSIDE IT AND USE THE CODE, THEN GET BACK OUT BEFORE IT IMPLODES!"

Aelita at that moment understood what Wizard meant, she ran for the tower. Warlock then looked at SB and said, "Get up you oaf, go after her before she destroys the tower and puts our asses on Devian's grill!" Sarge looked at Warlock and said, "Give me a minute, she kicked me down in the candy bag."

Aelita was almost to the tower when SB gave pursuit, she quickly went inside. It wasn't much different then the towers Xana activated, she got onto the platform and projected herself to the upper level. Once there she activated the code and everything, the tower started to shake. She quickly got out, Wizard looked at Warlock and said, "Well that's it…see you later I guess?"

"Hellsing, now would be a good time?" Wizard said, back in Roderick's room Hellsing said, "ENGAGING CHRONO-REWIND." And just like that the day started over for Roderick. But not just for Roderick, it started over for the others too…Jeremy himself was a little puzzled as to why he was reliving the same day. He hadn't been at the factory to return to the past or anything.

MEANWHILE…BACK AT LEGION HEADQUARTERS:

"I DON'T GET IT, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Devian shouted at Sargent Bash and Warlock, "Boss, we tried to stop her...seriously we did, she just was a little to quick for us, please find it in your heart to—" Warlock pleaded, nearly weeping. But Devian cut him off and shouted, "SILENCE!"

All went quiet for a moment then Devian settled down and said, "You're both lucky I have a plan of action now, I traced the signal those kids use to get to Lyoko, it's coming from a factory not far from an academy school. I have the papers filled out, Bash, you will attend that school. Warlock, you and Dark Angel will attend the High School."

Warlock looked at the school ID's and paperwork…everything was in order, then he saw the fourth ID and pile of paperwork and asked, "Uh boss, were you planning on coming with us too?"

Devian chuckled and said, "No, but I may consider that if you continue to fail me at this rate…but I am sending someone else that you & Dark Angel may know very well."

Suddenly the metal door behind Warlock and SB opened with a hiss, and in stepped someone. Warlock looked back and with jaw gapped open shook his head and said, "N-n-n-no s-sir, please I b-b-b-beg of you…NOT HER!"
