Chapter 12: Sea Tower
--
"…Digital sea tower for ships." I answered.
"A tower?" Aelita asked.
"Yea, like the other, it's a safe house with a interface, it restores points to ships, and reloads ammo." I said.
"Can XANA activate it to get to the real world?" Aelita asked.
"No, that would be a headache." I said.
Everyone laughed.
"Ok, I'm going in." I said. My ship went though the wall like when you enter a tower.
"Should we go in?" Yumi said.
"Why not?" Jeremy asked.
"If your coming in, come in as you would coming back to dry-dock. AKA, strait and from the top." I explained
Aelita then piloted the skid the way I said and they found themselves at a port like dry-dock.
"Impressive." Aelita said.
"I work pretty fast, especially if the work is already created." I explained.
Aelita then energized the group outside the skid.
"Go ahead and look around. I'll be doing repairs on the ships." I said.
"Ok." Odd said.
"Give me a visual Aelita." Jeremy said.
"Ok Jeremy." Aelita said. It looked like dry-dock and basement together.
"Hm, I'm impressed too." Jeremy replied.
"Thanks." I answered.
"What's that?" Ulrich asked.
"Oh, that is a human hub. It allows you to go to a different tower in person. But since this is the only tower so far, it's useless. If you step into it, you'll appear in that green circle there." I explained.
"Cool! Geronimo!" Odd exclaimed and cannonballed into the hub. He appeared four feet above the green circle still in cannonball form.
"OW!" Odd said slamming the floor.
"Be careful, it's like being virtualized." I said.
"You could have told me that earlier." Odd said.
Everyone laughed.
"I also have a hub for the ships in here to get to different towers, but it's useless also." I said.
"Come on, let's go back to school. I think that's enough exploring." I replied.
"You promised to show us the basement, remember?" Odd said.
"You haven't forgotten?" I asked.
"Heck no!" Odd replied.
"Oh yea, another thing, the ships aren't as good as the skid because the skid is more advanced. So my ship is basically an upgraded Navi that can travel by itself, but for short distances." I said.
"So there is a flaw." Jeremy said.
"Yea, you actually did a good job with the Skid. I can't surpass what you and Aelita created." I said.
"Thanks." Jeremy and Aelita respond.
"You owe me $20 Ulrich." Odd said.
"Wow, Odd's right for once." Ulrich said.
"About what?" Yumi asked.
"I bet him $20 that James would give Jeremy and Aelita credit for the skid and couldn't surpass it." Odd said.
I rolled my eyes.
"You can't be good at everything right? Ok, time to go. " I announced.

Basement floor
--
"Welcome to my dry dock." I announced.
"Wow! It's huge!" Odd said.
"What's down there?" Aelita asked.
"Torpedoes. Go take a look." I said. Everyone went down stairs.
"Hopefully you won't have to use it, but if you ever get in a pickle, lock on to the creature with the red circle button. When it's locked on, push the big red button, and it will destroy the monster or William and any other monsters in 5 feet blast radius, not affecting us. " I said.
"But there's a catch, right?" Yumi said.
"Yep, every time the shot is fired, you and anyone around the 5 feet blast radius of the missile will temporarily be shut down. If William is hit directly with one, he'll be destroyed, but if he's in the blast area, he'll only be shut down." I said.
"For how long?" Aelita asked.
"For 5 minutes in the Navi/Skid, 7 in the mini skid." I answered.
"We can also use this to our advantage. If William gets shut down by the missile and not everyone is shut down…" Jeremy said.
"William will be a sitting duck." Aelita finished.
"But that can happen both ways, if we are all shut down, but William or another creature is not…" I said.
Again, Aelita finished it. "We'll be devirtualised."
"How did you know you would get devirtualised instead of digital forever?" I asked.
"You said." Aelita said and giggled.
"Oh yea." I said. Without them knowing, I devirtualised everybody.

This is probably the shortest chapter. Sorry.
