PUCK || Closed
Of course. Well, at least XANA was on time. Puck continues his pace to the tower, fingers twitching slightly like heâs touching something. Doing exactly what Jeremie was. Searching for which tower was just altered.
It had to be one of the further sectors like heâd assumed. The touch was distant, but there either way. âThe active tower is pretty far from here.â He states over his shoulder toward them, not sure if they would follow or go their own way there.
âIts in a different sector then, weâll take the closest tower to here. Which is where youâre going yes?â Aelita asks, starting to follow them.
âWell at least we donât have to wait for Einstein to find a tower.â
âI heard that Odd⊠And its the desert sector, so head there.âÂ
âHey canât a cat have some fun? Itâs suppose to be a joke Einstein!â
âI didnât think it was funnyâŠâ
Aelita sighs and keeps moving.Â
âThe others are on their way now, Iâll try to drop them off in the desert sector. If you need a ride, just let me know and Iâll program the Over-board and Over-wing for you.â
âIâll bring us to the closest tower to the active one, Aelita.â Puck  offers, knowing full well most couldnât just nilly willy tower hop. Pros and cons of being part of Lyoko in an intimate manner, Puck figures.
And the white tower comes into view, Puck trots to it without a second thought, extending a hand as he passes in, the ripples an off grey color.
âThank you Puck.â Aelita responds, following him in.Â
Odd follows behind, a bit confused. âNormally we get to the sector where the activated tower isâŠ? We normally make it from there?â
âThis way is faster Odd. If Puck can get us as close as he can, then weâre less likely to have so many close calls!â
Itâs a strikingly smooth transition, through the tower and directly into the desert, no inbetween stage at all! Although, there was an odd sense of weightlessness for a minute after. For completely bypassing several towers and general rules of Lyoko, weightlessness was a strikingly small price to pay.
Puck raises a hand up, like heâs reaching for a weapon-sword maybe?- only to realize he doesnât have one and drop it, shaking his head with disdain. Sometimes he forgot, no weapon in his true form. Just energy blasts. Arguably better, he could use multiple at once, but close up fights were now out of his hands. Itâs fine though, all of XANAâs monsters are far away, expecting them to come from a different tower and certainly not this fast. There was still a long way to go though, and he lets a deep purple energy begin to hum around his hands. It wasnât dangerous yet, but he was ready for when they were inevitably noticed.
He motions the two of them onward, eyeing the nearest monster, a Krab among a cluster of its kind.
âWe should have a few minutes before they notice us, so we should hurry.â
