Ulrich quickly made his way back to the battle field and it looked like Xana was winning. Odd was devirtualized , Roman was hanging off the side of the digital sea, and Yumi was guarding Aelita from a small battalion closing in on them. Ulrich drove the Hover bike into the small battalion knocking over have the soldiers into the digital sea, the bike's grappling gun was activated before it fell into the digital sea. Roman quickly hop on as it reeled itself, him and back on the surface.
"Are you guys alright? " Ulrich asked getting up and dusting himself off
"Yeah, we're fine." Aelita answered
"Good." Ulrich said glancing over at Yumi,"I'm glade you're safe too"
Yumi blushed lightly," Watch out!" Yumi yelled pushing Ulrich out the way
Aelita dodged the attack and destroyed one of the five Kankrelats that was left. Two of the Kankrelats started to power up for another attack until Roman rode in slicing them and the remaining three in half.
"Thanks for the save." Ulrich said getting up
"It was nothing. " Yumi said dusting herself off.
Roman managed to knock down two megatanks and gain control over one. When Aelita tried to enter the tower something was keeping her out.
"Jeremy the tower is lock, I can't get inside." Aelita said
"A lock tower?" Jeremy through out loud
"You think you can break the lock?" Ulrich asked
"I can try, but it'll take some time." Jeremy said typing as fast as he can
"We don't have time for that, we have to-..." Roman started before freezing up
"Aiden help me please son help me", A man said with his arms in chains and his head down,"HELP ME!" He cried out with tears in his eyes as if he was staring directly at Roman
"Roman, are you alright?" Aelita asked rubbing his back.
"Huh yeah, I'm fine I just though I saw something." Roman answered staring at the tower.
"Is everything ok in there?" Jeremy asked
"Yes everything is fine." Aelita answered
Jeremy leaned back in his chair releasing a sign of relief, while Odd was staring over Jeremy's shoulder
"So, what now?", Yumi asked,"If Aelita can't get into the tower how are we going to end this?"
"She can't get into the tower, because the tower was never design for her." Roman said
"Than who was it design for?" Ulrich said
Roman quickly ran inside without looking back, no warning and no final words, leaving his precious weapons behind even his helmet, if it was a pandering gift. Aelita tried to run after him, but it was to late after Roman got in the tower locked itself leaving everybody behind to wait on the outside.
Inside the tower digital codes surrounded him as floor beneath his feet spun in a circle. Their was a keypad in front of him asking for identification. Roman gently rubbed his fingertips together nervously and placed his hand on the pad. After a few seconds the keypad identified him as Roman and asked him for a code. Roman typed in Lyoko, the ground stopped spinning and a doorway to the Carthage sector appeared.
"Alright Roman let's do this." He mumbled quietly to himself as he headed towards the entice.
Roman searched high and low for The Creator even running into a few Creepers on the way. Most of them were just nesting in the corners while the other were possessed and kept walking in a weird formation like they were guarding something. Roman quickly and quietly followed a few of them until it led him to a cliff.
"How am I suppose to jump to the other side with this heavy armor on?" Roman asked
After a moment or two, Roman slapped himself on the forehead realizing the answer was within the question. Roman broke down the armor removing the chest plate, medal shoes, and the lower leg plates. He backed up and raced to the end before jumping off. Hanging on the other side Roman glanced down at the endless fall.
"That's a long way down."He said in a twentieth century ascent, pulling himself up to the other side
As Roman continued, he had taken note of how the location was always changing and always moving like him. Eventually he came across this power blue sphere spinning in a circle.
" I guess I can use this to contact the others."He said taking off his gloves and throwing them in the blue sphere
He crouched down staring at the gloves as they turned into digital matter and the light blue sphere change from blue to a ghostly white spinning twice as fast as it originally started.
"AIDEN! " A male voice echoed through out the sector
Roman instantly got up and ran to the source of the call until the echo faded away. Roman stopped and stared and a 2-way path dropping to his knees feeling exhausted and weak.
"I don't know if i can keep this up." He thought to himself
"Of course you can." A little boy said
Roman looked up at the nine year old little boy staring at him with his light brown eyes and dark brown
"We made a promise, we gave her our word, Roman" He said
"You're right, Aiden now let's go save dad." Roman said getting up and racing to the right side of the path
