Our story begins two months after Rex meets the his old friends Cricket, Skwydd, and Tuck

The boy's morning had started off great. Made a few deals, got some free breakfast, but a few minutes ago he was falsely accused of bank robbing, of all things, and was now being chased through the back roads of hong kong by Providence and a couple of Slag's goons. Scratch that,WAS being chased. He had run straight into a dead end. Literally ran into it. He woke up with the providence ships above him, the goons unconscious on the ground, and a strange, shadowy figure with HUGE fists walking towards him. As the figure came into the light of the street lamp, he spoke. " hi! I'm Rex!"

"You don't look like a highly dangerous E.V.O bank robber" Rex said.

"That's because I'm not. I may have had some shady dealings in the past, but I'd never do something that stupid!"

"So why is providence looking for you?" Asked Rex.

Good question

" because they think I did it, but I know who really did it! It was those thugs chasing me!"

"Then why were they chasing you?"

Another good question.

"Because they know I saw them do it!"

" one more question" said Rex.

"Shoot"

"What's your name?"

"You can call me Horn"

"Well, Horn, I believe you. I'm going to let you go, and I'll make up a story about you 'escaping'. In the meantime, you should probably hide out for a while. Way I hear it, you in some deep trouble. I have some friends not far from here. Actually, there place is right on top of that building. Tell them Rex sent you. Gotta jet!"

And with that, he grew actual jet turbines from his back and flew away.

Horn was not an ordinary boy.

He was an E.V.O.

An exponentially variegated organism, or a being mutated by his nanites. As you can probably guess from his name, he had horns. Light blue horns, with 6 long blue cartilage-like growths that used to be his hair slicked back around them. He had blue skin, and four fingers on each hand.

Most E. had unique abilities, and his was that he could to some extent control atoms. With his powers he could pass through solid objects, turn invisible, and shoot super heated plasma blasts.

Tuck woke up to a quiet rapping on the door to their water tower.

Not wanting to wake anyone up, he unrapped his body and slipped down the stairs. He reformed his normal body In front of the door, and opened it to find another E.V.O teen standing there.

"Um, hi. I'm Horn"

"Oh, who's this?" Asked Cricket as she jumped down from her room.

" I think that's what we all want to know" said Skwydd with a pointed glance to Tuck.

"Well, this is Horn. He says Rex sent him to stay with us because of some trouble he's in." Answered Tuck.

" Uh oh. What kind of trouble?" Asked Cricket.

"great, more trouble" moaned Skwydd.

"Well, um" Horn scratched his head.

" I kind of witnessed some of Slag's goons rob a bank, so they're after me, but Providence thinks I robbed the bank, so they're after me too."

Tuck looked up thoughtfully. Horn cringed. Great. He thought. Now's when they throw me out.

Instead, Tuck said " I've heard of this Slag."

"Well, who is he?!" Demanded Cricket.

"Well, after Quarry was dragged off to jail, Slag, Quarry's second in command took over. He seems to be more trouble than Quarry." He looked at Horn. " sure kid, you can stay here." He smiled. "Welcome to the gang"
