So once again I'm about to embark on another season. Seriously, I'm even more nervous for this than the last. As we know from the past, sequels are not always as good as the original. I'm glad many of you liked Season 5 but it was not as much as Season 4 or maybe it's that less and less people are following this fandom. Either way it's sad. Anyway, I hope I do justice to this franchise and your wait for this is justified. If you haven't read the first two seasons you may be confused. Please read those first. Thanks.
The first part is the teaser from the end of Season 5. So without further ado I present Made-up Season 6 of Generator Rex.
I do not own Generator Rex.
Morris grumbled as he dug through the rubble, the only light being from the flashlight built into his helmet. He didn't know how his brother had talked him into coming here. They were scavengers for sure but if Providence refused to touch this place what made him think there was anything here for them?
They had checked for toxins and radioactivity. When none were found, they illegally began work. After sailing to the island, finding the decimated base was no problem. It was the only thing around for miles.
So far they found some precious metal they could salvage but there was nothing really worth their time. They didn't dare bring heavier equipment. They didn't want to bring Providence down on their heads.
With sour thoughts Morris kicked a metal pipe sticking up from the ground. The floor started shaking.
"Sean!" Morris cried as the rubble underneath him caved in. The frightened man slid down the hole.
When the dust settled he got up. At least the hole let in enough light for him to find the flashlight helmet he had dropped.
"Morris, you down there?" Sean called from above.
"Where else would I be?" Morris asked sarcastically.
"What do you see down there?" His brother yelled.
"Well, right now nothing." Morris walked gingerly around the area. "I'm worried that the roof's gonna collapse on me."
"Looks solid to me. Keep looking. Maybe there's some tech we can salvage and sell. I know a buyer." Sean said.
Morris grumbled. "Some brother. Only thinking about money. Bet he doesn't care if anything happened to me."
The light from his helmet bounced off some glass. The glare momentarily blinded him. He turned his head and saw that it was a tubular encasement. He approached it carefully.
"Hey, Sean. I see something down here."
"What is it?"
"It looks like a glass cylinder with… something in it."
"Well, check it out."
Morris grumbled as he used his hand to brush dust off the panel. He must have accidentally triggered something because the panel lit up. Lights around him also turned on.
"Hey, Sean, something's happening. I think …" A gloved hand had grabbed Morris by the throat and lifted him from the ground.
"Morris! Morris!" Sean yelled. A force blew through the hole knocking Sean back. Sean pushed himself up. The light that was now coming from the hole was so bright that it lit up the island. Sean couldn't even directly look into the light. His hand shaded his eyes. A humanoid shadow appeared. Sean couldn't make out any of the features of the figure but he started sliding back away from it as it came closer to him.
"No, no, stay back…" Sean said as the figure grabbed him by the front of his shirt. It lifted him up in the air.
Sean got a good look at it.
"No! You're supposed to be dead!"

"We are here today to dedicate this monument to a period of our history that although was dark, was full of selfless people who dedicated themselves to…"
Rex struggled to stay awake. He was bored out of his mind as the mayor droned on and on. Rex was only there because his friend Walter's sculpture was chosen out of thousands of entries to commemorate the Nanite Event and its cure. Walter was a fledgling artist and this was a great honor. The biggest surprise was where the money to go to art school came from: none other than White Knight, Mr. Grumpy himself. Rex couldn't believe that White would have faith in Walter's abilities enough to send him to school. But Walter had proven his ability and here they were waiting to see his artwork revealed.
There was a selfish part of Rex that wondered why he wasn't being honored. After all he was the one that ended the EVO plague. But he held his tongue knowing that many people had played a part both good and bad in this event. He decided that he didn't really need the recognition since the people who matter knew the truth. He looked over to his right side. Circe had tagged along as did Kenwyn, Cricket and Tuck. They were there to support Walter. Six authorized it under the guise that they were supposed to be there to represent Providence.
"Now ladies and gentleman I present to you…" The mayor pulled the rope which released the drop cloth that revealed the statue.
Rex and his friends' jaws dropped.
The statue was of White Knight. He was hunched over with pencil in hand working at his desk with the same stern look Rex was use to seeing when he addressed him during meetings. It was not a bad likeness.
But the most interesting part of the monument was the front of the desk which was composed of different panels of scenes. Each had the people of Providence working in their environment. In the upper right was a scene with Rex and Six fighting an EVO. Dr. Holiday and Caesar were working in the lab, and there was even a panel of the old Hong Kong group together. It was quite detailed. Rex was impressed. Kenwyn clapped enthusiastically as did everyone else…except Bobo.
Bobo, who was sitting to the left of him, was fast asleep. Rex forgot he was there. Rex nudged him.
"I didn't do it! You can't prove nothin'." Bobo jumped out of his seat and looked wildly around.
Everything stopped clapping and stared at him.
"I mean... You can't prove that this is not the best ceremony ever." Bobo clapped loudly and whistled. Rex face-palmed as the mayor gave them funny looks before introducing Walter.
"Now the artist will say a few words."
Walter nervously got up to the podium.
"Hey guys, how's it going? Umm, I uh I made this monument to honor my benefactor and also because we don't really appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes. That cranky old man could be cranky because he's trying to figure out a way to keep other people from getting killed. You know, just saying. Thank you."
Everyone clapped as Walter sat down.
"Now as our ceremony draws to a close, we will endeavor to remember our past so that we will have a future."
Suddenly shots hit the stage. Everyone ducked except for the Providence group. Bobo yanked out his blasters. Rex formed his smack hands. Kenwyn, Cricket, and Tuck pulled out their Providence issued firearms. Circe stood ready.
A shadow of a figure floated in front of the sun obscuring Rex's view of its face.
"Hey you coward! Firing on unarmed people is pretty low. Why don't you come down here and face us!" Rex yelled at the figure.
The shape moved toward them. The team gasped.
"White Knight?" Kenwyn stammered as she lowered her weapon.
"That's impossible." Rex gaped. Everyone stood uncertainly as they watched the supposedly deceased leader of Providence in his biosuit float down. His face was hidden because of the glare off his faceplate. The arm of the suit lifted. A laser popped out and he opened fired again. Everyone scattered.
"What's going on?" Cricket asked confused as Tuck helped her up.
"I don't know but I'm going to find out!" Rex formed his boogie pack and flew up to face White Knight.
"White! What are you doing? We're your friends!" Then Rex thought about it. "Well, maybe not really your friends… more like your employees…"
"Rex!" Circe snapped from the ground. "Focus!"
"Oh yeah." Rex formed his block party as more laser fire came from White's wrist cannon.
"What do we do?" Cricket fretted.
"We have to help Rex." Tuck took aim.
"No!" Kenwyn knocked the gun from his hand. "You can't shoot White Knight!"
"Well, he doesn't seem to have a problem shooting at us." Circe growled.
Kenwyn glared at her. "No, we can't hurt him."
"Too bad no one told him not to hurt us." Tuck observed wryly. "Duck!"
Everyone jumped out of the way as stray shots ricocheted off Rex's block party.
"That's it!" Bobo snapped. He shot his blasters before Kenwyn could stop him.
White Knight was knocked back but he recovered quickly. He turned his lasers on the group on the ground and fired. Circe stepped in front and deflected it with her sonic scream.
"We have to take him down without hurting him." Kenwyn said.
"Easier said than done, sweetheart." Bobo answered as he dived under the stage for cover. He came back out and fired one of his blasters. White Knight dodged the shots and returned fire. Rex grabbed him from behind to try to restrain him.
"Come on old man. Knock it off." Rex struggled to pin his arms behind his back. "Boy, wherever you were, you didn't spend any time on hygene."
White didn't answer. He grabbed Rex by the scruff of his jacket and threw him. Rex did some somersaults in the air before he righted himself. When he looked back at White his eyes widened. A missile hit one of his turbines. His boogie pack crumbled. Rex went crashing down.
"Rex!" Circe looked on in horror.
Before he hit the ground he managed to form his sky slyder. He skimmed the ground before pulling up. As he flew back at Knight, he formed his BFS.
"Sorry, old man." Rex muttered as he swung his sword.
"Rex, NO!" Rex could here Kenwyn's frantic cry from below but he had no choice. He couldn't let White hurt these people. He took comfort in knowing that White would do the same.
The BFS came down on White's head but to Rex's surprise White blocked it with the palm of his hand. Then with the other he pointed a laser at Rex and fired. Rex flew to the ground. This time he hit it, forming a crater. White trained his weapon on Rex. A barrage of fire hit him. He staggered in the air. Cricket, Tuck, Bobo, and Circe was unleashing everything they got. Kenwyn ran over to Rex and pulled him from the ground.
"¿Dónde han ido todas las flores? Rex asked incoherently.
"Rex, are you okay?" Kenwyn pulled him to his feet.
"I have to stop him." Rex stumbled to his feet.
"Don't bother. He's gone." Walter said as he came over to Rex's other side to help him stand.
"What?" Rex looked to the sky which was empty. "Where did he go?"
"He took off." Bobo answered. "Guess he didn't wanna fight the lot of us."
Walter surveyed the damage. "Seriously guys, can you ever come to an event without destroying something?"
"We need to tell Six." Circe said ignoring Walter's comment as she walked over.
"He's not going to like this." Rex groaned as he reached for his comlink.

"What do you think of this Becca?" Beverly asked as she pointed out a dress.
"Hmm, what?" Rebecca Holiday looked up from her clipboard.
"Come on Becca! You're supposed to be planning your wedding!"
"Not right now. I'm in a middle of a something. I'll look at it tonight." Rebecca turned back to her clipboard.
"That's what you said last night. You only have six months to plan."
"Well that is a short amount of time, when you say it that way..." Rebecca joked.
"You have to take this seriously. It's a once in a lifetime event... hopefully." Beverly put her hands on her hips.
Rebecca shot a look at her sister.
"Sorry, sorry." She held her hand up.
"Look Bev if this is so important to you why don't you take care of planning this." Rebecca typed a few things into her computer.
"Really?" Beverly asked in surprise.
"Yes, but, I, of course, get final say..." Rebecca added.
"Oh, this will be the best wedding ever. Don't worry I'll take care of everything." Beverly shot out of the room.
"Phew, now at least she's out of my hair." Rebecca went back to her notes. The silence did not last long however. The alarms went off.
"Rebecca," Six's voice came over her comlink.
To anyone else, Six sounded like his usual emotionless self. But Rebecca knew better. She could hear a tightness and a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Yes, Six? What is it?"
"Rex says that they're being attacked at the dedication ceremony."
"That's terrible but surely they can take care of a..."
"It's White Knight."
"What?"
"They say it's White Knight attacking them."
"I'll be there in two seconds."
"Meet me at the Keep. Six out."
Rebecca didn't even bother saving her data. She dropped everything and ran to the hanger.

It seemed as if they arrived at the dedication site almost instantaneously. Everyone was tense including Calan. It was no secret that White's death had affected him deeply.
"Are they sure it's White? I mean maybe it's some yahoo in a suit."
"Don't know but we're going to find out." Six assured him
When the Keep arrived the area was in shambles, White had long gone. Only Rex and his friends were there waiting for them
"What happened Rex?" Six asked him.
"I… I… I don't know but it was him Six. He didn't recognize me but it was definitely him." Rex stammered.
"Here Sir, I got the footage from one of the spectators at the event." Kenwyn handed Six a camera.
"Thank you Kenwyn." Six turned the small digital camera on as everyone crowded around him to see. Six shot everyone a glare and all took a step back.
"Perhaps we should take a look on the monitors inside." Everyone nodded and rushed up the Keep. Six internally sighed.
He couldn't blame them for being eager but he needed his space.
Six walked into the Keep. Beasly handed him a cable which he connected to the monitor. They watched the footage of the fight in awe. They winced as White Knight wiped the floor with Rex.
"Man, Rex you're losing your edge," Beasly ribbed him.
"Hey, I didn't want to hurt him." Rex protested.
"This isn't a joke." Six growled. "White died protecting us from the nanite explosion at Purgatory. If someone is impersonating him I want him found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
"Even that's too good for him." Calan said voice thick with emotion.
"I want all hands on deck. We need to get to the bottom of this now." Six snapped.
"Six, it wasn't an impersonator. It was him. But his eyes… it was like he wasn't really seeing me." Rex said confused.
"It's okay Rex. We're going to find out what's going on." With that Six spun around and walked out. Holiday who had been quiet the whole time followed him.
"You… okay?" She asked tentatively.
"Fine." He replied curtly.
"Six, I know this must be disconcerting…" Holiday began.
"Holiday, I need to tend to a few things. Can you give the group a check-up?" Six cut her off abruptly.
"Of course." Rebecca said a little hurt. Six had not called her by her surname in a long time. He was pulling away... again. "I'll see you for dinner tonight."
Six paused in the doorway. "Maybe." He said without turning around. The door slid closed and Rebecca was left alone in the hallway.
¿Dónde han ido todas las flores?= Where have all the flowers gone?
