Chapter 2

Rex and Seven sat down at the table right in front of White Knight's giant monitor. Doctor Holiday and Six stood next to each other.

"Recently there has been…" White Knight was cut off by someone's laughter.

"Ha! Hilarious! What'll that cat do next?" Bobo Haha was reading comics on a newspaper as he walked up. Everybody stared. Bobo smiled and folded up the article, "Proceed."

"There has been rumors of a matrix code rod being made in Tokyo, Japan that contains some extremely crucial information on nanites that can efficiently turn off all of the dangerous active nanites all over the world without killing anything.

"How is that possible?" Rex crossed his arms.

"Science." Bobo sneered.

"Well duh!"

"Rex, Seven, you will arrive in Tokyo, sneak in, steal the code, and return to HQ. This mission requires delicate handling, and precision. That's why you're going Seven."

"Hey I can be delicate and I've got lots of precision." Rex pointed a thumb at himself.

"You smash stuff with oversized mechanical fists. Does that sound delicate to you?"

Rex growled at the monkey and tackled him. Seven rolled her eyes.

"So we're just going to sneak in, steal the code, and return?"

"Not exactly, you two have to go undercover for this mission."

"Ooooh, undercover! Score!"Rex high fived Bobo.

"When are they leaving?" Six placed his hands in his pockets.

"Tomorrow."

"Well thanks for the heads up." Seven said sarcastically.

"You're welcome." White Knight didn't catch onto her sarcasm and flashed of the screen.

"Well, I'm going to be in my Training Room if you need me." Seven walked off with Rex.

"Aren't you excited about the mission? This is gonna be AWESOME!" Rex raised his arms above his heads.

"I don't know, I'm kinda worried." Seven chewed on her nails.

"Come on. It'll be so much fun!"

"Rex. You remember my origin story. I was programmed right outside of Tokyo. What if I meet someone from my past, what if it sparks memories."

"Seven, you'll be fine. Besides if it does, I'll be right by your side the whole time. I'm right there if you need me." Rex grabbed her hand and held it gently and looked into her glittering blue eyes.

"Okay, Thanks. Hey, do you wanna train with me?"

"I'd love to."

Rex and Seven stood back to back in her training room. Seven gave a thumbs up to Six in the controller station. He nodded in acknowledgment. Six pressed a couple buttons on the screen and several obstacles revealed themselves. Spikes in the floors with a field of lasers and trip wires, razors spinning, a pit of sharks, crushing metal plates, and fire holes with explosives. Seven smiled her fabulous smile, revealing dimples.

"Hope they paid the bills." Seven cracked her neck.

"Because this is going to be expensive." Rex finished her sentence.

Seven ran through the field of massive spikes pushing off of them using her special rubber soles that Doctor Holiday made for her, so when she was using her powers her shoes didn't melt. Seven backflipped through the air slicing the spikes in a flash of blue and black. Rex smashed the others to bits using his Fun Chucks.

"Rex, watch it, you're getting careless with your swing." Seven glanced at Rex.

"Oh really, how does this look." Rex whirled his machines around his head and created an energy pulse. "You wanna hear my theme song?"

Seven entered the field of lasers backflipping and twisting through the lasers acrobatically. Seven ignores Rex completely.

"Here goes nothing,

It started when the nanites went "Ka-Pow!" upon the scene

Transforming all the life on earth like nothing that you've seen.

But there's one lucky Hombre who can make them build machines, He's Gen Rex!" Rex sang.

"Hmmm. Not bad."

Rex smiled and yelled happily, "That's how I roll."

Unluckily, Rex was too ignorant to see the laser beams that he had walked through. They beaped madly and all focused on Rex. His eyes widened.

Rex was blown backward by massive explosion and landed with his legs hanging over his head, with his back against the wall. Seven had passed through the razors and was hanging upside down above the shark pit. "Might be a little too cocky though."

Seven swung her body back and forth and leapt away from the tank. She landed in the splits between the plates, and using her super strength stopped them from crunching. Then, Seven ran across the holes using her super speed, the froze as flame flew up in front of her, she leapt side ways as it came out from underneath her, next ducked as it nearly burnt her head. Seven carefully stepped around the explosives, that were hidden in the ground, Seven jumped away from one and right as she was going to put her foot down, she froze and moved it away. A blast of fire came up from the little hole. The EVO used a one handed cartwheel to get away and leapt onto the "safe" ledge.

"And that's..(Seven smoothed her hair out of her face, and pausing for dramatic effect)..how it's done."

Seven gave her thumbs up to Six and he opened the door," You two are free to go. And by you two I mean Rex."

Rex moaned and limped out of the room. Seven watched him go, before Six came down from the booth. "Let's work on those moves." Six walked to the center of the room, next to Seven.

"You take first attack, I'm feeling kinda lucky today." Seven spread her legs and twisted one back and forth on the ground.

"Fine by me." Six pressed a button on the wall and turned of the lights and activated the traps.

Six limped into Doctor Holiday's lab, one arm around Seven's neck pulling him through the corridors. Six sat down next to the crispy Rex without a jacket on. Six perched alongside Rex with a thump and a moan.

"What happened to you?" Rex looked at Six.

Six cleared his throat, "A little incident with an anti-gravity cycle and bounce back walls."

Holiday jammed a band-aid onto Rex's cheek and walked over to Six. "I think I messed up my ankle." Six grunted as she did a routine check.

"I can see that," Doctor Holiday twisted Six's foot, and he muffled a yelp of pain. "Nothing major, looks like you popped it out of place by landing too hard on it, and those cuts won't be a large issue either."

She walked over to her desk and opened a drawer. Holiday pulled out a few small band-aids, some rubbing alcohol for cleaning, and a tissue.

"Alright Six, I'm going to pop your ankle back into place, you need to stay calm, put this in your mouth." Doctor Holiday handed him the tissue.

"What's this for?" Six held the tissue.

"Well, your going to want something to bite down on, when it pops." Holiday positioned herself at his foot. "Ready?" Six folded it up and put it between his molars. He nodded.

The brunette doctor yanked his foot out and severely jerked his left foot to the right and they all heard a snap, and Six's groan.

"That should do it." The green eye woman stood elegantly.

"Thank you Holiday." Six said as she cleansed his scrapes with the cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. She nodded bluntly and turned to Seven.

"Make sure he doesn't step too hard on it." Holiday said to Seven. The ebony haired teenager smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Seven walked off with Rex.

Seven and Rex walked down a corridor with their personal quarters in it. They both stopped in front of their rooms.

"So, what do you want to do?" Rex opened the door to his room and held it open for Seven to walk in.

"I'm good with anything."

"Do you know how to play chess?" Rex pulled out a chessboard from under his bed.

"Of course, but let me tell you, I've never won a game against Six."

"Esta bien!(OK!)"

_30 Minutes Later_

"Checkmate." Seven took Rex's king.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Rex fell over backward, "That's the fifth time today!"

"Give up yet?"

"Never!"

"Gotta admire that persistence."

Rex smiled his signature and laid on his side gazing at Seven. "I'm pretty awesome."

Seven grinned happily unknowingly showing of her magnificent features. She let herself fall back next to Rex and laid down next to him staring back into his chocolate brown eyes. "You excited for tomorrow?" The EVO adolescent said just above a whisper.

Rex daringly edged closer to the natural born beauty/killer and breathed,"Yeah."

"At least one of us is." Seven turned onto her back and sighed thoughtfully.

Rex tore his eyes away from her figure and took a long deep calm breath in. "So. What's on your mind?" the Latino whispered while his breaths came in short quick gasps.

"My mind is way too complex to comprehend." Seven murmured back in slow, calm, even, breaths.

"Yeah….What time are we leaving tomorrow?"

"At 12 in the morning and getting there at 4 in the afternoon if I fly fast." Seven referred to her multi-vehicle.

"Can I fly with you?"

"Well duh! I'm not going to leave you."

Rex's heart fluttered. "Como estas?(How are you?)"

"He estado mejor.(I've been better.)" Seven closed her eyes and folded her hands over her stomach, "I promised Sable I would go flying with him, I should get going before he looks for me. He tells me when I'm too far away from him he has this feeling like there's a chain around his neck pulling him towards me."

"Cool,"Rex unenthusiastically sighed and sat up.

Seven's demeanor changed, "Heeeey, what's up. You look really depressed." Seven sympathetically sat up calmly next to Rex and moved closer to him.

"It's nothing really."

"Come on. You can tell me anything, I'm great at keeping secrets." Seven refrained from reading Rex's mind.

"Okay….There's this girl…..And she's really nice, and really hot…..….I'm not sure how to confront her on my feelings…..I just don't to waste my friendship with her because she's sooo important to me…And I don't want her to reject me because ….. because ….she's everything I've ever wanted to have….…and everything I've ever wanted to be." Rex finished, not believing he just confessed everything to his true love without her knowing that it's her.

"Wow Rex. You've got it bad. Thanks for telling me though. This dream girl sounds awesome." Seven leaned into him and placed her head on his shoulder. "If you really like this girl, and are great friends with her, then she'll understand and accept you. Any girl would want an EVO butt kicker and Providence celebrity to be there sweetheart."

"Really!" Rex excitedly sat up.

"Well, I'm personally not interested in having a boyfriend right now, but millions of girls are." Seven put the chess board away neatly.

"Oh." Rex hoped she hadn't caught on yet, or read his mind.

"Anyway. I'm going to find my horse, I'll leave you here in your thoughts."

"Thanks for listening to my problems Seven."

"Everybody needs to let out their feelings once in a while. See you later Rex."

_Later That Night_

Rex was sleeping peacefully when he heard a scream. It sounded like someone was in pure agony, pain, terror, and it was bloodcurdling and petrifying as seeing your best friend's half eaten carcass. Rex's eyes flew open when he realized where they were coming from. Rex charged out of his room only wearing his sleeping shorts and raced down the hall to Seven's room. As he stopped in front of her room, Six rounded the corner without his jacket on.

"You want to take this one?" Six breathed heavily.

"Yeah. You should go back to sleep. I'll stay with her." Rex placed his hand on the door.

Six nodded and walked back.

Rex turned back towards the door and used his nanites to tell it to open. Rex silently stepped into the dark room only guided by the full moon outside of the rectangular window, and the silhouette of a slightly glowing girl and her horse. Rex quietly took a few small steps up to the bed and heard the calming breaths from a horse's nose. Rex inhaled quietly and sat down on the white fluffy blanket on the end of the bed. Rex stared at the eton/sky blue glowing eyes, and the fair bioluminescent glow of pure skin followed by ragged breathing. The female figure had her arms wrapped around a horse's snout, stroking it gently. The other horse's ears turned to focus on Rex.

"Seven, Que estás bien. Todo va a estar bien. Estoy aquí."(You're alright. Everything's going to be okay. I'm right here.) The Latino let the words roll of his tongue.

¿Te despiertas?(Did I wake you up?) Seven whispered.

"No. Bueno, tal vez un poco."(No. Well, maybe a little.) Rex looked away from the beautiful girl for a second.

"Lo siento mucho."(I'm really sorry.) Seven looked back at the other EVO hesitantly.

"No se preocupe. No puede evitarlo."(Don't be. You can't help it.) Rex placed his hand on his partner's shoulder.

Seven closed her eyes and rubbed her face against Sable's. Rex scooted over to her and wrapped his arms around her without uncertainty. She leaned into him, and let the young Latino pull her back to the covers of the bed. Rex gently pulled the covers over them both, and stayed wrapped around the girl. Within minutes she was sleeping.

Sable cleared his throat, "Thank you. I can only do so much." He lowered his head and laid down next to the bed.

"You're welcome. She's lucky to have someone like you."

"Quite the opposite, Rex. She's lucky to have someone like you."

Rex felt himself blush deeply, for the reason unknown. Soon they were all sleeping by each other. Seven had no more nightmares in Rex's arms.

Why does everything I write have to be so cheesy! Whateves. Next chapter is going to be really long.
