The next day...all of them gathered at the Meeting Room. Aphrodi began to tell them about the real reason why he is hiding to them.

Aphrodi: Okay. The reason why I'm hiding to all of you is for your safety and to protect the timeline of future.

Ran: Timeline of future? What is that?

Aphrodi: It is the path for the destined future. If we would analyze Exodus' move, they're not just destroying the world but their trying to change the future.

Jin: Why you should be the one to do this? We are still here.

Aphrodi: No. You don't understand.

Jin: Then tell us why?

Aphrodi: Now's not yet the time for you to know the truth. But the only thing I can advice to you is never depend on your soldiers. You, yourself should move too. Your soldiers shouldn't carry your hope and future. You should believe in yourself and wait for the destined future.

Kousuke: He means we shouldn't all just depend on our LBXs.

Ban: The guardians...Sacred King and Achilles FR...If we shouldn't put the hope of mankind in the hands of LBX then what should we do.

Aphrodi: You need to recruit more members. Teamwork is a big help.

Kazu: It's hard to recruit.

Aphrodi: Don't worry we still have.

Takuya: Hm?

Aphrodi: I know it's hard to decide but we don't have any choices left. We'll recruit the Exodus members who are in the Cell Section.

Takuya: Are you sure about that Aphrodi?!

Haru: Sir Takuya is right. We just can't let them be part of our team. They are the ones who tried to destroy the world and change the future just like you said.

Aphrodi: Yet, as long as in their prison they'll realize their mistakes and change it to better. If we can convince them to join us and assure their safety in our hands, our strength will become more stronger.

Jessica: Well, you can be right at that point and also wrong. We don't know what they can do if they're with us. They might report all our moves to their master so they can prepare something when we fight them.

Takuya: Ban. What's your decision?

Ban began to think deeply about the decision he's gonna make.

Ban: I already made my decision. We will convince them to join us. It's not impossible for them to become good and change their ways. They're just like Lex...if I wouldn't convinced Lex to change and realize what will be the effect of his doings in the world he will still be a villain. If I already did it to Lex, I can do it to Exodus.

Ban: Jin.Hiro. Aphrodi. Come with me.

The four of them went to the TO Cell Section.

Nigi: Huh? What are you doing here?

Kira: Yamano Ban.

Ban: We're here to say something.

Alicia: Say what?

Ban: We would like you to join the Seekers.

Irene: Join with Seekers?! Are you out of your mind Yamano Ban?!

Medea: It will never happen...

Aphrodi: We know that our teams are against each other but you don't know what you are doing. You are trying to create a new world, you're trying to change the future!

Nigi: It's for the good of humanity! We need to reshape everything! We need to erase unecessary things and prevent things that shouldn't happen!

Jin: For short it's only for your interests.

Ban: Didn't you realize if you already got the things that you want. What will happen next? You will just live a normal life like the people out there. People will never follow you then you will punish them. What is the satisfaction you'll feel when you're gonna do that? None at all. If you want people to follow your footsteps make sure you lead them in the right path, right future. Leading is not about superiority and inferiority it's about the right thing to do of a person like us.

Hiro: Ban...

Ban: All I want is you join us so we can lead the people to the right way.

Eleanor: You're really wasting effort for us to join you.

Aphrodi: To prove that we don't have any intention of fighting against the six of you, we're setting you free. Mister.

The TO Army Squad guard came.

Guard: Yes Sir Aphrodi?

Aphrodi: Hand me the switch.

Guard: A-Are you sure Sir Aphrodi?!

Aphrodi: Just hand it to me.

The guard handed the switch to Aphrodi. Aphrodi turned the switch off. The barrier for each prisoner disappeared.

Nigi: !!!

Aphrodi: Here. You may leave now. And one more thing please don't call me sir. Ban and I are of the same age.

Guard: S-Sorry si-- I mean Aphrodi.

Aphrodi: Good!

Aphrodi handed back the switch. Then the guard left.

Jin: Now. We proved it all to you.

Irene: They really did it.

Medea: Do we have any choice left?

Alicia: It seems they're intentions are pure.

Kira: I'll just go with you guys.

Eleanor: Me too.

Hiro: Whoa! They're really are joining us!

Ban: How 'bout you Nigi?

Nigi: I don't wanna be left alone so I'll join too. You woke us to reality Ban Yamano. You really are a hero.

Ban: We should be the one to thank you.

Hiro: Let's go and tell them about this

Ban: C'mon!

Ban, Aphrodi, Jin and Hiro with the Exodus left the TO Cell Section and went to the Meeting Room.

Kirito: Ban really did it.

Gouda: Nice one Ban!

Takuya: Nice to have you Exodus in the Seekers.

Haru: They shouldn't be called Exodus anymore. They're one of the Seekers now!

Nigi: I'd never imagine that having these guys would be so life changing...

Irene: You're right Nigi.

Takuya: Ok. We'll celebrate!

Ban: Yes!

Ran: Woohoo! Partyyy!!!

The Seekers celebrated in having Nigi and his teammates in the Seekers.
