End of message.
The start. Part 1.
"You're welcome, again," Rex said after healing the former EVO that was laying on the ground.
He started to walk away when he heard the guy say "You, you leave me normal again!"
After saying those words, the man ran towards Rex and hugged him.
"Handshakes would do, naked man," Rex said to the guy that was hugging him, naked.
As if the situation wasn't bad enough, the blanket that the man had, fell, leaving him totally naked.
"Seriously, stop hugging me!" Rex said.
The reporter and the cameraman watched in astonishment, the reporter exclaiming "I..i think the boy just cured the EVO..!", Six walked over the camera, saying "Providence has no comment" while blocking the camera with his hand.
"Do we really have to go back the base? Let's go get a Pizza and celebrate! Rex shouted
"Celebrate? You wrecked six blocks of the city" Six said to him.
"Oh, come on, it was four at most.." Six looked at him, before turning to the closing door.
"..Okay, maybe five…" Rex finally said.
With that, the ship went back to the base.
Meanwhile, three beings were watching it from the distance.
"That's him, tell Van Kleiss," Bio-Wolf said to his two partners.
Rex was playing with his ball, one of the few things he did whenever he wasn't fighting an EVO, in his "beloved" Home Sweet Hole.
While that was happening, White Knight was having a talk with Six.
"You are failing to control our weapon, Agent Six" White Knight said to him.
"What do you suggest? Having him neutralized like the others?" Six replied.
"Six years of living in a global freakshow and that kid's our only way out," White Knight said to Six, serving himself some milk.
"All living things on this planet are infected with those nanites, and the lucky ones like that Japanese cities, for example, get to wonder when will be their turn" White Knight sipped some of his milk, only to continue "As long as Rex can cure the EVOs, we might actually win this war, take care of him, Agent Six, I don't have to remind you the alternative".
The call ended, but there was something bothering Six.
Why didn't Providence investigated what caused the Nanites from expanding to some of the cities from that country yet..?
Rex had just finished his scans.
"Scans are normal," Holiday said, only to continue with "So, will you gonna tell me what happened today?"
"Just another, stunning, victory, saved a lot of people, you know. I think I deserve some sort of reward, said, dinner? A movie?" Rex couldn't say any more thanks to the thermometer that Holiday put on his mouth.
"I'm talking about the ninety percent negative spiking on your Bio-energy, have an explanation for that?" She asked.
"My Bios spike every time I see you, Doctor Holiday" Rex answered.
"Smooth, like sandpaper," Bobo said.
Dr. Holiday walked away, not hoping to hear Rex say more, but alas, that didn't happen.
"…I messed up..in front of Six, then…I don't know what happened…i freaked out, my machines broke apart" He said.
Six appeared in front of them, Holiday spared him a glance and Rex greeted him with a "Hey".
Holiday looked over to Rex and said, "I have to check your stress levels, give me a lap around the petting zoo", making Rex leave, followed by his friend Bobo.
"And how was your day?" She asked Six, who only raised an eyebrow in response.
"Wheels or wings?" Bobo asked Rex replied confidently "Wheels, I want to tear something up", transforming into his bike mode and starting to accelerate with Bobo by his side.
Unknown by them, they were watched by Holiday and Six through a window.
"Something is seriously wrong with him," Six said.
"And how another way could it be when you all treat him like a machine instead of a sixteen-year-old teenager?" Holiday replied.
While both Six and Holiday were talking, Bobo asked: "So what's ur problem?"
"Oh, the usual, all working and never play, ha! And don't even get me started with that broom closet they call my room"
They passed through what looked like a tree, a tree with many red eyes that opened, catching sight of the two, using his roots in order to attack, but Rex was faster, and easily avoided all of the attempts of the EVO.
"Physically, Rex and his nanites are fine, but think about it Six, no memories of who he was, his family, how you think that makes him feel?"
"How he feels isn't of the concern of Providence, as long as he takes down other EVOs and deactivates them" Six replied
"I..i think he needs something more, something that makes him feel like he's a teen and not a weapon"
"Like what?"
"..A school? Have you seen that school in Japan? The only place free of Nanites for some reason, you need to do so much paperwork if you want to enter"
"Are you suggesting that it is what Rex needs?" Six asked, watching how Rex and Bobo taunted and avoided an Alligator-like EVO.
"Yes! Have you seen his room? It doesn't look right"
That got Six thinking, could it be true? Rex really needed something more? Although he didn't show it, Six did appreciate Rex, to a degree.
"I will think about it," Six said, leaving.
Rex and Bobo had just finished their lap on the petting zoo, Rex returning to his crappy room, restarting his "playing with the ball" session.
A few minutes passed, and Rex started to think about his life.
"Why can't I remember anything?" Rex thought. Sometimes when he slept, he dreamed, and when he dreamed, fragments of what he thought was his memory appeared, persons, he couldn't recognize, someone called Caesar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
He didn't even know if "Caesar" was real.
These memories were nothing, and yet everything he had.
"I'm so messed up" He sadly thought, not stopping playing with the ball. His memory was broken.
Then there was that other thing. The thing that pissed him the most. Everyone on Providence except for Doctor Holiday and maybe Six thought of him as a machine, a weapon, not a human, not a teen who didn't know what he was doing here. They didn't even try to help him recover his memories.
Another EVO, the only thing that separated him from other EVOs was that he could control and manipulate his nanites, but the differences ended there for them.
Couldn't they see that he was another human like them?
Deciding to stop his dark thoughts, Rex went to what he called a bed, trying to get some rest.
After some minutes, he finally fell asleep.
Six was running to Rex's room, an EVO was reported in New York.
When he opened the door, he saw Rex asleep.
"Should I…?" Six was having a conflict with waking up Rex. The EVO was attacking the city, but Holiday told him Rex needed to rest if he was going to that academy tomorrow.
"Screw it" The part of him that thought of Rex as a weapon won this time.
"Rex, wake up" He moved him in order to wake him from his sleep, hearing him snoring.
"Rex, Wake. Up." He moved him again, this time harder, waking him up.
"..Hmmm..?" He yawned, and looked in front of him, he saw Six standing.
"..Six..?" Rex said, yet half-asleep.
"An EVO is attacking New York"
Instantly, Rex woke from his bed, shouting "Let's go!" leaving a surprised Six behind.
If Rex was honest, he wanted something to punch, something to unleash his rising anger.
Six followed him to the ship afterward.
Rex decided not to follow the advice of staying in the ship until he was required.
Rex decided, too, that he would be the one to finish the tiger-like EVO with his own hands.
And Rex decided, in the end, putting his goggles, that he would make an entrance worthy of a super-hero from the comics.
Falling from the ship and preparing for the impact with the EVO, entering his fist-mode, Rex hit the EVO's face, hard, making him crash to a building and rising smoke.
There would be no mercy for this one, well, except when he cured him.
The EVO retaliated fast, only for Rex to dodge and counter-attack with another punch with the same force as the first, sending him backward.
This time he wouldn't let him attack back, transforming into his bazooka-like mode, he started shooting to the part where the EVO was laying, the feline EVO waking and trying his best to dodge the bullets, but failed to do so with the last, leaving an opening for Rex to attack with his gigantic fists again, making a five hits combo and finishing him.
He cured him afterward.
Six was watching everything from the distance.
Once Rex entered the ship, Six called him.
"Rex"
"What is it Six? Will you tell me how amazing I am?" Rex asked smiling smugly.
"You caused the destruction of a building when you sent that EVO to it," Six said, as calm as ever.
"Pff, it was only minor damage…well, maybe a half" He said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"…"
"Okay! I destroyed it completely, happy now?"
"Just for you to know, you will go to an academy tomorrow," Six said.
"…What?" Rex asked, confused.
"Holiday said that you needed something…to feel more like a teenager than a weapon" Six said.
"…"
"…"
"..Hahahaha! And here I thought you didn't have any sense of humor! Hahaha…!" Rex stopped laughing when, first, no one was laughing with him, and second, the glare Six was sending Rex gave him the creeps.
An awkward silence.
"It wasn't a joke..right..?"
"Absolutely. No." Six said, serious.
"But Holiday said she would be the one who would edu-"
"That changed"
"Oh..man.."
"Starting from tomorrow, you will go to Honnou City, one of the few places free of Nanites in the world, to study"
Now that was something Rex didn't know. Is a place free of Nanites? That sounded strange.
"What about the EVOs…?"
"You will be called and I will go for you in case Providence requires you"
"…"
"Also, you will live there in your own dorm, Holiday informed me that you are complaining about your room in Providence Headquarters"
Well, something good at last.
"What did White Knight said..?" Rex asked.
"I already talked with White Knight about this, informed him about how you felt and how that would eventually make your strength less efficient against the EVOs" Six answered.
"And you did all of this while I was asleep?!"
"Didn't everything I previously said answer that question?"
"…"
The rest of the trip to Providence Headquarters was in silence.
"What's the matter? The EVO kicked your ass back there chief?"
"No Bobo, I was the one who kicked his ass" Rex replied.
"Then what's the problem?"
Rex sighed.
"I have to go to school tomorrow"
Bobo choked and started to laugh at what his friend said.
"This isn't funny Bobo," Rex said pissed.
"You are complaining about School? It isn't that bad"
"Bobo, you are a chimpanzee, how can you know that?"
"Don't know, you just do all the homework, or you can choose the path of not doing it!"
"That's boring, it would have been better if Holiday was my teacher," Rex said smiling.
"Who knows, maybe you get a girlfriend over there, chief," Bobo said, with that he and Rex started to laugh.
Bobo definitely was one of Rex's best friends.
"So how was the EVO?"
"Easy as ever, it couldn't stand my greatness!"
More laughs.
In the morning…
Six went to wake Rex up, the school was starting in about two hours.
His snores were so loud.
"You have to wake up, Rex" He moved Rex, who only turned to the side and murmured "Five minutes more.."
"Rex, wake up," Six said.
Rex didn't wake.
A vein appeared on Six temples. He was tempted to go get a bucket full of water and throw it to Rex's face.
Six moved him, waking him up.
"..What is it now Six..? An EVO..? Leave me alone.."
"School"
Rex grimaced.
Rex yawned.
And Rex said "Give me a moment" to Six.
Rex put on his normal clothes, and said "Goodbye" to Holiday, who did the same, and to Bobo, which his farewell consisted in "Until the next EVO".
Now he was on the ship with Six, who was driving it.
"So, how is the school?" Rex asked.
"The biggest you will see"
"Whoa, and the city?"
"You will know when you get there"
"Oh c' mon Six, don't be like that, your best friend, your compañero, is trying to start a conversation with you and you just are trying to end it!"
Six didn't reply.
"..Okay I get..you are mad and don't want to talk with me" Rex sighed.
The ships of providence were one of the fasters in the world, so Rex and Six arrived in less than forty minutes to Honnou City on it.
Rex got out of the ship and started to walk away when he felt something off.
"Six, wouldn't it had been easier if you just-"
And Six left in the ship, raising smoke as he did so.
"-arrived directly on the school…?"
Rex started to cough.
The ship was getting away faster…
"..Okay..as warm as ever.," Rex said and started to walk to the city once the ship disappeared from sight.
For some reason he didn't know, he felt like Six did this on purpose.
And for other reason, he felt like someone was watching him.
A minor alteration: As you all can see, Rex here has sixteen years before all of the series events.
