AN: This is my first fanfic, so a little slack would be appreciated if anyone is out-of-character. Thanks!
The nanites were all destroyed. All loose ends tied up. For everyone except Rex and Bobo, of course, the world was normal again as if the nanite event never happened.
Until there was a report, a single report, of an attack taking place in the slums of a city.
This in its self would not be an extraordinary event: crimes were abundant in this neighborhood.
However the attack was said to have been conducted by a teenager with a mutated face, terrifying, and shocking resemblance to the EVO form of mutations.
It was this miniscule detail that cause Providence to take a second glance, and put a brief hold on their shut-down.
Rex was sent to look into the sighting, poking curiously around the alley, next to a shady, locked, and abandoned building, the only hint to it's past as a store being the green and white striped tarp hanging outside of the door, torn at the end, with a muddy water puddle dripping acrid water into the street.
Strange... he thought, walking in a circle around it to see a burst pipe when he backed away far enough. It was clear that it had been repaired earlier that same day. However, the muddy puddle still remained, leaving foot prints that headed into the alley, and suddenly stopped near a hole where a sewer grate was once mounted.
Finding no other evidence of the assault, he headed back to help with the packing of all EVO equipment at the base.
The case was dismissed for the time being, until a week later an attack happened on the same street, and suspicions were once again raised. Rex and Six went to the new sight, and when it proved to be empty, walked up and down the street.
"Rex! Look out!" called Six, Rex whipping around to see a figure standing in the rain, though it was too dark to recognize it.
The creature snarled, both of the agents getting a brief look at it as it was under the lamp: it's mouth was huge and slobbering, with at least three rows of teeth, sticking out like Circe's did.
Rex had managed to slam it into a wall with his Smack Hands, only to find them crumble after touching the creature.
The mutated attacker hissed, also clearly hurt by being in direct contact with Rex's machines, a brief amount of steam coming off of him, most likely from burning, until the figure staggered beneath the tarp of the same shop from the first attack.
Six charged at the creature, still surrounded in darkness, but it ducked underneath the same tarp Rex had seen earlier.
"Six, wait!" Rex called, though it was too late. While running at the creature, he slashed the tarp open and the clouded water spilled on top of the teenager, at it screeched again and a dorsal fin protruded from it's back, a large mass bursting out of the bottom of it's spine.
It rose to it's feet, snarling, and Rex attempted to have a go at it, though this time with his sword. The machine once again crumbled when it touched the neck of the EVO, and his opponent once again snarled in pain as it's neck was burnt.
Six charged at the soaking EVO, and the large beast wasn't able to move fast enough. It collapsed onto it's knees clutching it's arm where blood was seeping through the shirt. The large mouth caved in, the creature going rigid as the fin and other mass also were sucked back in.
Looking up slowly and carefully, a ragged boy with long tangled hair looked up fearfully, before letting out a single nervous laugh, getting to his feet and backing away, before diving into a sewer grate, easily getting by the stunned agents.
"Six?" Rex said quietly, watching the teenager scurry into the sewer.
"Yes, Rex?" Six growled, annoyed that the thing had gotten away.
"I'm not sure that's and EVO."
AN: Is it any good? Please review!
