Authors Note: Hey everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed last chapter! I especially want to thank DarkForestGreen4 for motivating me to finish this chapter. Go read her stories because they are awesome! So this chapter is about what happens to Rex between when he was kidnapped to when the rest of his team got back to the Plant. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing besides my plot.
As soon as they stepped through the portal, Rex started fighting the control collar around his neck. It just wasn't obvious yet.
Van Kleiss and Biowulf stepped around him, while Breach went back through her portal to God knows where. She had seemed rather eager to leave the room they had entered.
Rex's eyebrows furrowed and his teeth clenched, both in concentration and in pain.
"Rex, walk forward." Black Knight said from behind him. Rex stayed rooted to the spot. "Rex! Move!"
He let out a grunt from the effort it was taking him to fight the collar. He slowly reached his hand up and deactivated the collar. Rex spun around and threw it at Black Knight, hoping it would explode in her face.
Black Knight quickly dodged it, so it blew up in the air a couple of feet behind where she was standing. "Pawns, restrain Rex immediately."
Black Pawns ran at him from all sides of the room, previously unnoticed by Rex. He quickly formed his Smack Hands, batting away as many pawns as he could.
As soon as he knocked out three, four more came rushing at him. Some had control collars in their hands; Rex tried to get rid of them first. With the odds more than 30 to 1, Rex was surprised he held out as long as he did. He felt a collar click around his upper arm and he started losing control, but not as quickly as before. Another collar clicked around other arm.
"Put one around his neck too, just in case." Black Knight instructed the pawns left standing.
Van Kleiss, who had been watching the whole thing with amusement, was suddenly on his feet. "Now hold on a minute. You've never even put two collars on an E.V.O. before, let alone three! You don't know what it will do to him!"
"Aw, I'm touched." Rex gasped out sarcastically, struggling to keep control of his body.
Van Kleiss ignored him. "I need him alive and sane for this and so do you, for now."
Black Knight narrowed her eyes, staring at Van Kleiss for a minute before saying, "Collar him, now."
Van Kleiss stepped forward to stop the pawn but the collar was already clicked into place. "You had better pray those collars have no side-effects," he hissed, very pissed off.
"He'll be fine," Black Knight said dismissively with a wave of her hand. "I had his brother blast him with a laser at full power and he still managed to fight it off."
She turned to Rex, who had been struggling fruitlessly to fight off the collars during their argument. "Follow me."
They walked over to some very familiar restraints. Black Knight locked Rex's arms into place and then his legs. She doubled checked that everything was secure before stepping back, taking a controller out of her pocket. Pointing it at Rex, she pressed down the top button, releasing him from the collars.
"You may recognize this room, Rex." Black Knight said. She gained no response so she elaborated. "This is where Providence kept the last E.V.O. that wouldn't cooperate. Breach."
"Are you going to shoot probes at me until I crack too?" Rex asked, his voice taunting, just daring them to try it.
"Not today," Van Kleiss said. "We made the room special, just for you."
"Lucky me." Rex muttered.
"The walls are reinforced with steal and there is minimal technology in here, charged by a battery operated generator."
"Were you stupid enough to put a security camera in this time?"
"Sadly for you, no," Van Kleiss snapped remembering what a bad idea that had been.
"Enough chit-chat. It's already three in the morning. We'll need to be well rested for what we are trying to do," Black Knight said.
"Agreed. Breach!" Van Kleiss yelled. Breach showed up right away and Van Kleiss and Biowulf left the room.
Black Knight turned away and walked toward the only door, also made of steel. "Good night, Rex," she said smirking as she shut off the lights and closed the door behind her.
As soon as she left Rex tried to build his Smack Hands.
"Ahhhhhh!" he yelled as electricity coursed through his body before he could even finish building them. 'Figures. They had to make sure I couldn't get out of these restraints somehow.'
He tried his Punk Busters as well and received an even nastier shock than before. He stopped trying and hung limply in his restraints, panting.
'Okay so I guess I'm stuck here for the rest of the night. Six and Holiday will notice I'm missing right away, but they won't be back at the Plant for hours. They should be back by five. I've just got to hold on until then,' Rex thought trying to encourage himself.
Rex was exhausted from all the fighting he had done in the last few hours. 'At least now I can practice sleeping standing up for meetings with White.' Rex joked halfheartedly.
He closed his eyes, letting the exhaustion overwhelm him and carry him off to sleep.
"Wakey, wakey, Rex," Van Kleiss said mockingly to a still sleeping Rex.
Rex slowly opened his eyes momentarily confused about why Van Kleiss was in his room. 'Oh right...'
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Oh yeah." Rex said sarcastically. "I always sleep like this, builds character." His body was stiff and sore all over from his uncomfortable slumber.
"I see that you tried to get out of your restraints after we left." Black Knight said as she walked in, with a smirk.
"Yeah. I love the new feature," he spat in her direction. "Thanks for telling me about it."
"Now where would be the fun in that, Rex." Van Kleiss said smiling at him. "I bet you were wondering what we brought you here to do."
"No, not at all. I thought it was a routine procedure to kidnap someone in the dead of night and bring them to Providence in a control collar."
Van Kleiss, once again, chose to ignore him. "I want to see that Omega 1 nanite hidden inside you, up close and personal."
"Of course you do. What about you BK? What are you getting out of this?" Rex asked.
"I too want to look at this nanite of yours but I really just want to see you suffer. Van Kleiss found himself needing a place to restrain you and I have the man power to keep you in line." Black Knight told him with a smile.
"Awesome. Where's the rest of the Pack?" He asked Van Kleiss.
"They are attending to other matters today. I just need to run some basic tests on you and then we can start the real fun."
Rex smirked. "Thrill me."
Alright you guys know the drill. Tell me what you though please! Thanks for reading!
