{Boice} : "Well then, I guess that is it." Boice said, clapping her hands together and rubbing them slowly after the small conversation had gone on. Dave was obviously a little bit suspicious, but he was fooled enough to let Lino have the job anyway. [i]All we have to remember now is the story. Lino's from Italy, lost everything, homeless, and moneyless.[/i] she thought to herself, writing down mental notes to keep track of. "So, that it? All done?" Boice asked. {Maya} : "Alright, sounds like a plan!" Aeilta said, looking at the monsters one last time before turning to the tower and making a sprint for it. "Careful! The monsters are coming to life now." Josive announced. The two Big Cube-Things both turned towards Aelita, and started a barrage of lasers at her, seemingly faster than normal. The lasers were much more accurate too, all landing a few hundred feet away, and slowly making their way up for Aeilta at a steady pace. Once they reached up to her, two hit her, one in the arm, and another in the leg, sending her backwards quickly. Luckily she was just near the tower. After the shots, one of the Big Cube-Things started marching towards Aelita, but turned it's head towards Bella and Flippy, launching off another barrage of lasers, joined together with the other Cube's lasers. The big Giant Sphere-Thing opened up for a second, revealing it to be a monster, before closing back up and rolling towards Aeilita quickly. As long as it stayed shut, there was no damaging it, so the heros would have to wait for an opening. {William} : Garsin's tune appeared to work well on William and Sam, just as much as they had helped himself. They both felt lighter, and quicker. "Good thinking Garsin, you're a natural." William said, giving him a quick nod before continuing off towards where he felt the pulses. A few minutes later, the trio reached a point where they could see the tower in the distance. Not only that, but there were monsters attacking some human-looking people. "Those are the people I saw before. They are going to stop us, they won't see the things we do unless we show them with the towers. But for now, XANA is our common enemy, and we need to work together to defeat him. I've already done as much as I could for today, so I cannot activate another tower until tomorrow, so we might as well help defeat XANA." William said as he continued to lead the way. "Let's show them how it's done!" he yelled out, pulling his weapon behind him. {Maya/William} Aeilta tried for the tower again, standing up quickly and sprinting for it. Alas, the Giant Sphere-Thing appeared before her and the tower, blocking her way. It opened up and started to squeal as it charged up an attack. Just before it could unleash it's devastating move, William rammed into Aeilta's side, sending her out of the way. As the blast came for William, he quickly held his sword in front of him, turning into smoke and dodging to the side, riding his way up to the top of the monster just as it finished pulling it it's attack. He stabbed his sword down into the monster, aiming for the eye, but it clamped shut just before it could reach. William tried pushing, but a laser from one of the Little-Mini-Crabs hit William off of the monster. After the random attack from the monster, the lone Giant Cube-Thing angrily turned towards it and shot a laser at it's feet, making it jump backwards and then continue it's dance around the pillar. The pillar had started to flash faster after the monster stopped it's circling, but it returned to it's usual pattern once it joined it's friends once again. Aelita was stunned by William's sudden appearance, stopping to look at him. "Who-" she started to ask, but he pointed to the tower as he regained his stance. "Go, now!" he yelled. The Giant Sphere-Thing rolled forward, so the hilt of William's weapon touched the ground, opened itself so the weapon dropped out of it, then closed back up and rolled to crush William where he stood. Aeilta bolted for the tower, but as she almost touched it, a bright red light flashed and bounced her back, the light traveling upwards in an oval-shape around the tower, revealing there to be a force field of some sort. "Aelita, watch out! Your life points are down to forty already! If you take much more, who knows what could happen!" Josive yelled out, worried she wasn't being careful enough.
