Aiden leaned on one fist from his praying stands lightly gasping for air,"You would go that far just to keep control?" He asked
Malcolm just stood there with his sword in hand, unaware of the monster he just unleashed. Aiden leaned on his hands and immediately started to charged towards Malcolm.
"SHOOT HIM!" Malcolm yelled moving back to hide behind his creatures
Aiden swiftly moved in between the cross fire of the creatures, even when the lasers would directly hit him it would reflected off his armor. Malcolm command the Kolossus to crush Aiden, but he was so fast no one noticed when he slid right from underneath the Kolossus' feet and tackled Malcolm. Malcolm was tackled so hard his body dragged across the ground onto the edge of surface near the digital sea. Aiden started to tare off pieces of the armor and throwing it into the digital whenever Malcolm would fight for it Aiden would just punch him in the face. After a moment or two, Aiden removed every piece of the armor off Malcolm's body excepted the gloves and shoes. Malcolm punched Aiden with a left hook, Aiden reversed and punched back with a right hook repeatingly until Malcolm grabbed his hand and bent it backwards. Aiden screamed in pain poping it back into place while Malcolm pulled out his dragger.
A Roachster saw the dragger from the other side of battle field and raced up for a closer shot before fireing and getting blown to pieces by its counter part. The laser flew passed the other creatures even from underneath the Kolossus' feet before being spit in two by an attacking Megatank and finally shooting the dragger out of Malcolm's hand. The dragger grased Aiden's side before flying into the digital sea. Aiden hissed in pain before pulling out his dragger and held it up to Malcolm's neck,"I should make you suffer." Aiden said staring at him.
"Go ahead kill me or are you afraid?" Malcolm asked
Aiden pushed the dragger closer to Malcolm's throat,"I'm not afraid of you..."Aiden said rising his hand up and stabbing his dragger right beside Malcolm's neck and the ground"...I'm afraid to end up like you." Aiden got up and raced towards the tower while Malcolm was still in shock.
After a moment or so Malcolm realized he didn't die and leaned up to see Aiden race inside the tower, growling under his breath, Malcolm jumped into the digital sea hoping to get the armor for the last time.
Aiden's body floated to the top of the tower surround by digital codes moving information and random messages between people all over the world, when he landed on the surface the floor underneath his feet glowed a keypad appeared on the edge asking for identification. Aiden walked over and placed his hand on the keypad it turned red so did the information around him.
"Unknown Identification? " Aiden questioned reading the keypad
After a few minutes everything cool down the light blue color even the keypad turned back normal asking for identification once again. Aiden gently rubbed his fingertips together nervously before placing his hand on it justed to have the screen lock up on him the everything around him turn red.
"Dad, what's going on?", Aiden asked,"DAD!" He yelled
Pop-ups appeared all over the tower playing memos, videos, and audio files with all kinds of information. One pop-up was Aelita talking to her dad about the mysterious boy they found in the backyard, another was a pop-up of a young Dr. Hopper talking to Malcolm about the supercomputer, some were audio files of Aiden's mother singing to him while she was pregnant. The voices bounced off the walls of the tower simulationetously talking playing crying laughing it was to much for Aiden to handle he covered his ear and dropped to his knees hoping the voices would stop.
"Shut up"He mumbling quietly under his breath repeatingly,"
Shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP!" He yelled
The room instantly grew silent expected for three pop-ups;
"Come on man you can't lie to me. I've been a part of your DNA for so long you might as well call me an alternate version of yourself." The memo played
"Whether you like it or not Roman is a part of you..." The second video played circling around Aiden as if it was trying to tell him something
Aiden looked around the information of paper work around the walls of the tower,"Those look like health records." He said turning around to the last video
"Dr. Nelson can you help him please?" A man asked
"I don't know a spit personality is a very complicated disorder, but we can try to suppress it." Dr. Nelson awnered "Now what does the alter ego calls himself?" He asked
"He calls himself Roman." The man awnered
Aiden clasped on his knees,"No wonder the keypad doesn't recognize me, because I'm missing apart of myself. Roman is me. I am Roman." Aiden realized before getting up,"I gotta find that armor." He thought out loud
Malcolm appeared out of nowhere and tackled Aiden ,"WHERE IS IT?" He demaned pinning him down and removing his sliver armor
A swift left hook to the jaw and Aiden pushed Malcolm off him before standing up. Malcolm stood up missing the gloves and one medal shoe,"GIVE ME THAT ARMOR!" He yelled glitching and trying to stand on his feet.
"I don't have it" Aiden replied with everything from the waist up missing
"Bull shit." Malcolm said racing up to Aiden
Aiden did a roundhouse kick hitting Malcolm directly in the mouth. Malcolm stumbled for a minutes before trying again. Aiden raced up to Malcolm and punched him with an upper cut him. Malcolm punched Aiden in the ribs with a few jabs and straight punches to the face. Aiden grabbed Malcolm's wrist and twisted him arm out of place and kicked him in the chest causing him to fall on the glowing ground screaming out. Aiden walked over gasping for air,"You're..." He started after taking a deep breath he got enough air in his lungs to finish.
"You're not even worth it." He said turning around back to the keypad
Mal quietly twisted his arm back into place growling under his breath, he pulled out Aiden's dragger and started to charge up behind him. Aiden fiddled with the keypad tracking the armor down before getting stabbed in the back. The keypad disappeared when Aiden and Malcolm started to fall off the edge of the platform. Aiden grabbed the edge of the platform with one hand while Malcolm hanged on his waist.
Aiden struggled to pull himself up,"My fingers are slipping." He mumbled to himself.
Malcolm climbed up Aiden's body like a ladder and pulled the dragger out of his shoulder blade. Aiden yelled feeling his fingertips on the edge of the platform, "If I go you go to." He said pushing himself and Malcolm off the platform
Malcolm screamed as he freefall down the tower, while Aiden on the other hand closed his eyes lightly smiling a he came to terms of being deleted forever until he felt a hand reach out and grabbed his.
"What the...?"
"Don't worry I got you." Roman said in a thick full blown Renaissance age ascent
Aiden stared at him while being pulled up on the platform.
"Are you alright? " Roman asked before getting punched in the arm Twice
"That's for the upper-cut and for not telling me the truth." Aiden said while Roman rubbed his arm "Why didn't you say anything?" He asked standing up and helping Roman to his feet.
"Because I couldn't, my program is design to bring out the best and worse characterises of the person who wears the armor and to created the bond between people and the creatures. " Roman explained
"So, how were you formed?" Aiden questioned
"Think about it, you've been here since you were eleven years old, and you're almost twenty now. I created myself in your imagine because I've been attach to you for over nine years and I've been apart of you're subconscious since you were born." Roman explained
Aiden nodded in understanding, "So can you help me end this or not?" He asked
Roman smirked and playfully pushed Aiden to the appearing keypad. The keypad asked for identification Aiden placed his hand on the right side while Roman placed his hand on the left. The keypad identified the two as one person and asked for a code.
Aiden typed in L
Roman Typed in Y
Aiden-O
Roman-K
Aiden-O
"Tower deactivated." Both said simulatesly
Dr. Hopper glanced at the power on 25% it'll take fifteen percent to started the return to the past program, but it will take ten to start the deletion program or the virtualizion program. After thinking it over Dr. Hopper finally made a decision, "Return to the pass now." He commaned as time flew backwards.
In Lyoko the crcreatures kept fighting unaware that it could be their last, inside the tower Aiden hugged Roman as their bodies devirtualized.
