The Beginning to an End
At Providence, the alarm rang loudly, alarming everyone in the facility. In minutes, screens all over Providence turned on to show the pale, white haired face of White Knight. As he spoke, his voice echoed throughout the halls and rooms of Providence.
"I need Agent Six, Rex Salazar, and Agent Jones in my office this instant," he commanded with his most stern voice.
Everyone knew that when White Knight played that expression, it was no joke. Within seconds, Rex jumped out of his bed and grabbed his coat. As he dashed out of his bedroom, he bumped into his friend, Kenwyn, in the hallways who was also running to meet White Knight orders,
"Rex!" she yelled in frustration.
"Sorry, Ken!" he replied as he continued running, "Have any idea what's so important about this mission?"
"Not a clue," she said quickly following.
Running, they reached White Knight's office; a large white room that only consisted of a large white screen that appeared similar to a rectangular box. Agent Six was already in the room stood quite relaxed and unnerved with his hands in his pockets.
"You really must be a ninja, how'd you get here so quickly? I didn't see you get out of your room or anything," Rex said walking beside him and patting him on the shoulder.
Agent Six darted him a look that only meant for Rex to not touch him, but Rex carried on behaving his same old self. Kenwyn walked in behind Rex and looked at Agent Six who gave her a small nod. Shyly, she gave a small nodded back. He walked over to her and stuck his arm out. Kenwyn was quite nervous on how to react to shaking one of best agent's hand. She reached in and grabbed it firmly and shook it lightly.
"Nice to meet you Agent Jones, I heard your training in Providence basic has really paid off. Can't wait to see what you're about," Agent Six said releasing his grip.
"Likewise, Agent Six, It's an honor," she replied.
Rex crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, okay can we continue our mission now?!"
In the nick of time, White Knight's cold face appeared on their screen,
"Hello agents. We're having a bit of a problem in Queens, New York. There appears to be an E.V.O. about eight feet attacking the city bank. He's powerful and he's stealing too much money that could lead the bank to bankruptcy. The bank is large and if it goes bankrupt, who knows how much it could damage the economy. I need you guys to get down their quickly and take-him-out. Police have tried everything and nothing is working. You all will fly off on Agent Six's jet and reach there quickly. He's strong, so be careful."
"Any ideas on what powers he has?" Kenwyn asked.
"Well, other than it being incredibly strong? No. Have fun."
Quickly, the group beamed out of the room and ran into the hangar to board Six's jet. Entering it, they all buckled in and shot off into the air as the gateways opened. They soared throughout the air, and in a matter of minutes they were out of sight. Back at the base, Doctor Holiday, the chief researcher, watched out of the window as she prayed for them to all have a safe trip back. In the jet, Kenwyn sat beside Rex in the backseats, ready to take down this E.V.O. She wore her trademark Providence uniform, leaving her face bare. Rex looked over at her and back at Agent Six who flew his jet the fastest he could,
"Geez, slow down Six. I'm surprised we didn't burst into flames and travel back in time yet," Rex commented.
Kenwyn looked at Agent Six and quickly looked back at Rex startled. She looked almost as if he had provoked a bear. Rex looked back at her and shrugged as a joke.
"We have to reach there quickly, Rex. This is serious, so be prepared, we'll be reaching there in about 15 minutes." He said making a quick turn.
Rex looked over at Kenwyn and noticed how surprisingly quiet she was. She sat up erected and faced forward, rarely blinking. It was so strange because Rex knew right away that Kenwyn naturally would've started calling all of the shots. Ignoring it, he couldn't help but feel that she was trying to prove something. Looking out the window, he noticed that they reached the scenery where the bank robbery took place. Rex could feel an excitement overcome him and Kenwyn did too. Agent Six diligently landed his jet, and once they fully landed, the top of the jet open and the group hastily climbed out. The bank was right in front of them, and all that was noticeable was the large hole that replaced the entrance. There was glass all over the ground and Kenwyn ran over to examine it, by examining it; she could draw many things from it. In an instant, she ran deeper into the bank. The E.V.O. was out of sight and this worried her deeply. Asking around, people pointed her to the direction it went.
Meanwhile outside, Agent Six raised an eyebrow. Not looking away from the bank, he questioned her actions,
"What is she doing?" He asked quite bewildered.
"You'll see," Rex said confidently crossing his arms.
Within seconds, Kenwyn came beaming out,
"He ran around the corner and he's has the money, let's go!" she shouted as she ran off. Rex and Agent Six followed.
"I'll see if I can catch up with the little runaway, meet you guys there for backup!" Rex shouted.
He jumped slightly in the air and formed his orange mechanic hover bike called his Rex Ride. The motor charged up, and he shot off past his teammates. He followed the dents in the roads and the trail of money it left behind and sped incredibly fast, only to let the money quickly fly in the air. Rex partially closed his eyes through his goggles and noticed a large bulky creature from afar with lime greenish skin. It had webbed feet, a large alligator-like tail and was running quite quickly. Determined to catch up, Rex drove even faster, passing the E.V.O. and stopping right in front of him. In each hand, he held about three bags filled with money.
"Put those down and I won't have to hurt you...or don't, either way works for me," Rex said quickly building two giant orange mechanical fists out of his arms.
The E.V.O. let out an incredibly laugh and words escaped from his black lips. He sounded like a creature that spoke underwater, but his words were very clear,
"Alright, you got me." He said closing his eyes and placing his arms up. He dropped the bags of money.
From behind, Rex could see Agent Six and Kenwyn run in together.
"Hey guys, he's negotiating!" he taking his guard down, which was a foolish thing to do. Rex fully walked to the side, giving the E.V.O. an opening to either run away or attack. It probably wasn't the wisest thing to do, but the E.V.O. chose to attack instead. Picking up a nearby cement brick, he threw it at Rex with devastating strength. If it were to hit Rex it could knock him unconscious for hours or worse.
"Rex!" Kenwyn shouted.
Swarms of people ran for their lives screaming as Agent Six swiftly beamed to the area and jumped in front of Rex. Blindly, he ejected his swords from up his sleeves and cut into the block that flew towards them in four. The creature tried to grab the money beside him, but a long white electrifying rod appeared in front of his hand, accidently grabbing it. It shocked the life out of him and he yowled loudly and stumbled back. Kenwyn pulled the rod away and held it by her side.
"I could've punched that," Rex said looking at Six in disbelief. One thing he hated the most was when Six stole his shine.
"No you couldn't," Six surely stated.
The E.V.O. was now facing Kenwyn. He looked at her with his pink eyes and looked away. Turning around, he showed his back to her, giving her the impression that he would walk way, but instead, he did a full spin to knock her back with his massive tail. She grunted as she flew back and rolled across the pavement.
The E.V.O. turned around and watched Agent Six jump towards him. Six slashed at him with his blades and the E.V.O. fended himself by clashing it with his large claws. Finally, the E.V.O. sent a spinning kick. Agent Six ducked and was missed by inches. The claws from his kick deeply scratched a telephone pole behind him. For his own safety, Six tumbled away from the E.V.O. beside Rex.
"This guy's pretty tough! He's taking out three agents!"
"That's quite obvious." Six commented, "How's Kenwyn?"
"Uh, what's he doing?" Rex questioned, making Six look over.
The E.V.O. got on all fours and dug his claws deep in the pavement he stood on. He opened his mouth, and in the pit there was a white light that began to charge.A high whirring sound could be heard.
"Six..." Rex said quite nervously and stepping forward, "What's happening?"
Out of the mouth of the E.V.O., a large white blast of light shot out. Purposely missing his enemies, it hit the ground beside Rex and Six. A large explosion occurred however, and threw them both off their feet. The E.V.O. saw this as his opportunity to shoot another blast at the group and that there was no way they could escape this. Again, he shot a larger blast. Rex shot up and built two blue mechanical gauntlets around his arms. In the center of the gauntlets were two lit circles, and out of those circles formed a round blue force field. The force fields deflected the blast, but it was too strong to throw back at the maker. It pushed Rex back a little bit and it began to overwhelm him.
From the sidelines, Kenwyn was already conscious. She walked over to the E.V.O. and had a grenade in her left her. She tossed it up and easily caught it.
"Kenwyn, Look out!" Rex shouted from behind his shield.
Kenwyn ignored Rex and looked at the E.V.O.
"Hey!" she shouted.
The E.V.O. stopped his attacked and glanced over at Kenwyn. Within seconds, Kenwyn threw the grenade at the E.V.O.'s face and took out her pistol. She shot the grenade, and ducked to protect herself. The force of the explosion shook all around and sent the E.V.O. into a large car beside it. The car exploded, causing twice the impact. The E.V.O. could be heard shouting and walked out, soon to fall unconscious. Kenwyn stood up and crossed her arms victoriously and looked over at Rex and Agent Six who were smiling at her from the other end of the road.
Moments later, the E.V.O. was captured and taken back to Providence for interrogation. Locked in a large white room he sat in a large metal chair in front of large table. Across the table sat Doctor Holiday and Kenwyn, both sitting in chairs similar to his. Both had their legs crossed, but of course, Kenwyn was more serious. Her arms were crossed as well and her appearance was more rigid. Holiday always had her coffee beside her, and looked more calm and relaxed.
"Mind explaining to us the reason behind your motives Mr... what'd you say your name was?"
"I didn't. Name is Ernesto," he said shuffling around in his chair trying to ease the uncomfortable feeling while his arms were restrained.
Kenwyn and Holiday looked at one another and Kenwyn continued off.
"Well, Mr. Ernesto, why did you rob that bank?"
"We needed the money," he replied.
"Who are we?" Holiday questioned, "Don't be afraid. We can protect you."
"Afraid?" Ernesto began to laugh. It was a quite hideous one too, "Why would I be afraid? The boss would love for you guys to come running after him. Wouldn't be the first time he pounded up a few Providence flat foots."
"And who's this "boss" of yours?" Kenwyn questioned quite offended.
"Clinton. He's our gang's leader." Ernesto said freely.
"What did he need the money for?" Holiday added in.
"To start a new era," Ernesto said quite chillingly. His eyes pierced through both Holiday and Kenwyn and they couldn't help but feel like something strange had taken over them. Kenwyn looked down to think about what that could possibly mean, but was afraid to even ask that question.
"A new era...? meaning?"
From there on, Ernesto stood shut and never answered the questions after that. Holiday and Kenwyn stood up and the two other agents from outside the room came in the room to take Ernesto away to his prison cell. From behind, Holiday and Kenwyn walked out to meet Agent Six and Rex, who were both watching the interrogation from the outside.
"Looks like he won't open up," Agent Six said calmly.
They all, except for Rex, walked off to the cafeteria in order to catch a quick meal. Rex stood behind and watched the agents walk off with Ernesto. While Ernest was being dragged off and being put into his cell, he turned around and gave Rex the most eerie smile he had ever seen. Only one question swarmed Rex's brain that day. What new era was he talking about?
