Hey there! I've been updating so fast, I don't really have anything to put up here anymore, lol.
Also, I forgot to mention in the last chapter, that when Six was thinking about the party where Holiday & Van Kleiss met, he meant the one in 'Leader of the Pack'. Which I think everyone caught that. How Six knew that Holiday met him? *shrug*
Btw, I don't know if this is a well known fact of anything, but I caught this awhile back. Holiday's name is a reference from the character 'Doc Holiday' in the famous movie, 'Tombstone' which is about a true story of the OK Corral gunfight. Famous place in history & wicked awesome movie (even if it is a western). Anyway, I just wanted to say, Man Of Action rocks.
Lexii- Well, I figured this was different, since Rex was already an Evo in the first place. Good point, though. I didn't really think about it.
Thx to everyone for all your reviews! =D

The shore of Abysus was just as bare as the rest of the land mass. The red dust was easily stirred up. The smell of five year old death hung in the air. Six had been there once and didn't quite consider it one of his 'favorite vacation' spots. Even the sea water had a sickly grey color to it.
The sun bore down heavily on the two, who were just standing there for the moment to try and get their bearings straight. Six looked over at Rex, who was currently doubled over, panting from exertion. With his emotions about Holiday, Rex's nanites were screaming at him. He didn't have time, though.
Rex shook it off and stood up straight, ready to get this over with..., when he noticed what Six was doing.
"Uh, what are you?," he tried to ask, as Six finished taking off his jacket.
"It's too hot here," he explained, while rolling up his sleeves, his katanas laying beside him, "I'm not going to be slowed down by that."
The teen decided to just roll with it, so he took his jacket off, too. Things were about to get dirty anyway.
o0o
The local wood was just as dark and creepy as Rex remembered it.
Would it kill Van Kleiss to have a flower here and there? Nevermind, it probably would. I wonder if he's allergic to the pollen here? Ya know, since he's connected to the place and every- Come on, Rex! Get in the game! Geez!
That was the third time that day Six saw Rex slap himself. If it was under any other circumstance, he would die laughing (on the inside) and thank something higher up for giving him that joy, except he knew why Rex kept doing that.
His nanites were going nuts. Usually, if he got overly upset, his nanites would just stop working all together and flatline, like when Noah told him the truth. Instead, he could see that the boy was fighting it off and that it wasn't as easy as it sounded. Six was pleasently surprised Rex hadn't crashed and burned yet, but he figured that it would be soon.
That wasn't exactly the reason he was in such a hurry, though. He had tried stealth, which wouldn't have been too incredibly hard, but he was actually letting his emotions get to him. At the first path they had come across that was closed off due to the vines, he had shrugged it off and went around. Now, he was hacking away anything and everything that was in between him and that creepy castle; vine, tree, Evo, Rex, whatever. Luckily, the teen decided to let him lead the way.
Six knew that Van Kleiss wasn't in the dark about them being in Abysus anymore. In fact, he was fairly sure it was a trap, but without Rex, he had no hope of getting to Holiday.
Holiday.
The towers of the massive castle stuck out over the trees. They weren't too far off now.
Highly sharp, green crystals shot through the air. Six barely had time to dodge them, but he was just happy they attacked him first. If it had been Rex, then he would be alone right now.
Rex turned his head sharply, the Slam Cannon already eating up the Earth behind him. He shot at the general area that the crystals came from and, just as expected, Skalamander jumped from his hiding place.
Biowulf came from behind them and jumped Rex, who used the Slam Cannon as a shield and pushed the Evo back off of him.
Six ran after Skalamander, who continued to shoot the crystals at him. He dodged everyone one and finally came in range of the thing. He jumped up, planning to take it's weirdly shaped head off, when Breach caught him in one of her portals. She also disappeared through one of her own.
Rex looked around, insanely worried. "What did you do with Six?," he attempted to interrogate, "and where's Circe?"
Biowulf and Skalamander surrounded him from both sides. The first one said, "we aren't paid to be informants."
I tried. Let's go with Six's plan. They usually work, anyway.
Rex busted out the B.F.S.
o0o
Six's back hit the wall. A quick look told him, he was, in fact, still in Abysus, against the wall of the castle. The worst part was, he wasn't alone.
To Six, Breach was an enemy to be severely reckoned with. He pushed himself off the wall and away from any traps she may have put up. A few portals formed around him.
She jumped down from one, but he was already on high alert. Six brought up his blade to meet her head on, but she bluffed him. Breach disappeared inside another portal she created on the fly and came back out on the other side, managing a round house kick to his back.
He fell forward, but caught himself last second. Doing a dodge roll on the ground, he turned his body back around to her and threw his katana like a kunai. She dodged it, but it cut pieces of her hair. A portal appeared in it's way, and the blade came back around from behind Six.
He jumped and did a flip in the air, effectively catching his blade and landing on both feet, in a fighting position. She screamed and ran at him.
o0o
The buzzsaw roared as Rex cut down tree after tree. He was getting tired of this. Skalamander dodged him the first few times, but Rex got him in the end. Now, he was chasing down Biowulf. Since, it was toward the castle anyway, he figured, why not? Van Kleiss knew they were there. A little destruction never hurt anyone.
Biowulf changed tactics on him, and jumped head on into Rex. Instead of blocking, he dodged by diving in front of himself and cutting a flip. The pack leader turned around and jumped for Rex, who brought his B.F.S. up for blocking.
A portal opened and Six came through, katanas flourishing in the sun. He cut Biowulf's face, effectively leaving a scar and knocking him out.
Breach jumped through a different portal, but didn't expect to see Rex on the other side. He sliced at her, but she ducked last second. Rex's other hand formed the Smack Hand & he punched her head on and she flew back a few feet.
"What happened?," Rex asked, retracting his weapons and turning to Six.
He was about to answer, when he heard a roar behind them. Rex answered his question before he could ask it, "Skalamander." They both turned around wildly, seeing the castle just beyond the trees.
"Come on," Six said, making a run for it, with Rex's heavy footsteps right behind his.
The roar was getting a lot closer. "Forget this," he said to Six.
Six was about to go into some extreme protests. What did he mean forget? Before, he could turn on a dime and put his katana to Rex's neck, the teen came around him with the Rex Ride.
"You coming?," he asked the man. Six suddenly felt incredibly stupid and jumped on.
First the gigantic front wall, then the gate came into sight through the trees. Suddenly, Breach dropped down through another portal, right in front of the entrance. Six jumped off and aimed for her head. She panicked and disappeared, leaving him to fly to a stop by the gate. Rex retracted the bike and slowly backed up to the gate, bringing out the B.F.S. again.
Six turned his back to the entrance to see Breach, Biowulf with a long scar across his face, and Skalamander. Rex started the buzzsaw and Six took his fighting stance.
Then, they heard her scream.

:D Don't ya hate me? Anywho, this chap is shorter, b/c I didn't really think out these scenes too much. I think they came out pretty decent. The disappearance of Circe will be explained WAY later, when she enters the fic.
Noah told Rex the 'truth' in the episode 'Lockdown.'
I don't know if Rex can use more than one weapon at the same time (I haven't seen it, yet). So, I'm not sure about that.
I don't usually write fight scenes, so I hope it was at least decent. =3
New episode tomorrow!
R&R ^.^
