They got to one of the legs of the tower, this one had stairs, the others where used for the cars that take you up.

"How do we open it?" asked Zoe. Jason stepped forwards and cut the lock with his sword. "that's one way I guess." Zoe added. they raced to the top.

"C'mon guys!" Charley urged, "it will only be opened for 10 minutes, of witch we only have 6!" they made it to the first floor, everyone kept going but Jason stopped, something wasn't right here, he looked around, and sure enough, Saturn was standing by a window on the other side.

"For the love of Neptune..." he murmured.

"Hello Jason." said Saturn. "lets play a game..." his appearance shifted, the man that was once standing there was gone, now it was a shadow...a 3D shadow, and on his body was the planet Saturn, ironic thought Jason, he ran towards the others, they where already on the next set of stairs.

"Hurry up!" he said as he ran past them, he heard the footsteps get faster after a second or two.

They ran, then a black orb shot past right in front of Jason. he looked down and saw the man from before, Steven was it? he shot another one it also missed. Jason started to run again when everyone past him, he looked behind and saw Saturn chasing after them, he was fast and was going to catch them if they didn't do anything. They made it the second floor.

"Just one more." said Zoe, "c'mon let's go." They got to the exit, Jason locked the door behind them to make time, but he didn't think a Titan would care about a locked door. they where halfway up when sure enough, the door blasted open. Jason ran faster, dodging shadow balls and running from a Titan...it was sad he thought it was normal for this to happen.

They got the top floor, it was pretty small, no bigger than the top platform on the Empire State.

"There!" Valerie pointed at a blue portal, it was levitating, and on the other side was Boreas...no...it was Aquilo. they raced there, But Saturn was fast, he grabbed Charley and Valerie. Zoe and Tyler jumped through the portal, they looked behind them and saw what had happened.

"We need to go back!" She yelled.

"You can't" answered Aquilo, "once though you will be safe son of Neptune."

Jason still had his sword in hand, he raised it and slashed at Saturn. he dodged but dropped Charley and Valerie, they got to their feet. Charley summoned Ignis.

"Val" he said, "you need to go." she opened her mouth but he pushed her through the portal.

"No!" She yelled.

"Looks like it's just you and me again." he told Jason. He pushed Charley into the portal, he threw his sword at Saturn, Saturn staggered backwards, and Jason jumped through.
