PeacexFreedom- Agreed. The whole time I was writing the part where Six pushes Rex off, I was thinking 'either he's nuts and lost it or he's ooc'. Since he wasn't drooling and banging his head against the wall (yet), I knew he was ooc. I went ahead with it, cause I was also laughing the whole time and that's the point of the fic. Get people laughing XD.
Tinsley- XDXD I didn't know what else Callan would guess at and someone mentioned before that Rex was acting high (which was acurate). Callan's too country and honest to get high XD. And no, it's not Gatlocke or Caesar. (Though, I must admit, I'm not a fan of Caesar at the moment. As far as he's concerned, I agree with Six. He's a total liability, a wack job, he got way too cozy too fast, he knows too much, he's already making a bond with Rex, it won't be long before he moves in on Holi... According to Six, the man must slaughtered... But at least, I'm willing to see the guy again and let him have another chance lol. EDIT: Ever since Haunted, I'm ok with Caesar lol)
XxSkyexBluexX- Nope, sorry lol. I've just been really busy. Anywho, not Caesar or Van Pedo. Actually... Oh, I can't help it, it's DeathBunny I was talking about. I'm so good at keeping secrets XD.
xangabell- Oh, Six is physicallly able to use Rex's powers... Let's see how that works out, shall we?
DragoneseElf- GASP Omg, I love your idea! THIS WILL HAPPEN! IF I REMEMBER IT! MUST WRITE IT SOMEWHERE IN NOTEPAD! It'll probably be used in this chap, so I won't forget XD. THANK YOU.
Kaien- I love critics like you. Not flames, just critics. *HUGS* Anywho, yeah, I accidently put that last chap on the more talkative side. This chap... well, this chap might end up that way, too. BUT there will be action, either closer to the end of this chap or next chap. I don't really think myself too good with fight scenes (though, everyone seems to think I'm great at it). That's probably why I'm stalling a little. But we're going to have some (funny) action in here and Rex and Six are going to have to have a talk at some point in the middle of all this. Anyway, thanks for your input. I'll try to put dialogue somewhere else so that we can move on... That's my problem. I have the characters talk too much and before you know it, we're in chap 20 of a 5 chap fic... sigh...
KSTaki- They're both going to need some fighting lessons XD. I hope I can squeeze Circe in at some point, that would be great.
GHandB10Fan- I'm starting to wonder how exactly Six is going to be able to build his reputation back up. Nope, it isn't VK. And, OMG, Ramirez would be a GREAT idea XD. I don't think I should, though. Poor guy has gone through enough, don't ya think?... Me either, but still. I'm sure he's leaning towards the homicidal brink by now.
So, I'm actually inbetween working on this and my Breakeven fic. Sadly, I'm getting more interested in the other again lol. Don't fear, this one won't be dropped, but it may be slow in updating... like all my other fics.

Apparently the Evo had more appendages than previously thought.
Also, Rex's physical reflexes weren't nearly as good as his own, not to mention he kept getting his height confused.
Six was thinking all this while laying face down on the concrete. Maybe if he played dead, the Evos would just go away.
Rex didn't think so. "Get up!," he screamed, dragging Six back into a sitting position.
"We're going to die, Rex," Six clarified, not really wanting to move, "Just face it. Fate hates us and wants us to be killed in the most horribly comical way possible."
To prove his point about giving up on life, he was now dead weight that Rex was trying to drag. "Come on! Move!" Through their commotion, they both seemed to have caught the attention of one of the Evos, which wasa moving towards them. This didn't go unnoticed. "Vanomos, Six!"
"For why?," the other asked, still on the ground and being pulled along by his arm, "It's like you said. We're screwed."
"You're just too humiliated to try and live through this!"
"That, too."
"What are you two doing?"
Rex dropped Six. "Uhhh," he said into the comm at Holiday's voice.
"Take care of the Evo, Six! Come on! What's wrong with you?"
"Uhhh."
Six stood. "We're doing it already," he huffed into his own comm, picking the sword back up and running to meet the Evo.
"Well, what do I do?," Rex screamed after him.
He didn't get an answer.
The Evo picked up one of it's giant arms, bringing it down to the earth and Six. He dodged quickly, moving to the side in time to duck the other arm aimed for his head. Gaining his feet again, Six ran for the Evo, brandishing the katana.
From the little time he had been fighting those Evos, he had learned a lot about how different he and Rex were. First of all, and probably the biggest issue, was that Rex was shorter than him, in only a few inches, but it still more than obviously mattered. Another issue was that Rex's muscles and Six's were very different, which was shown in their fighting styles and how they were individualy trained. At first, that didn't seem to matter too much... until a few minutes ago. Rex had the stamina of an elephant, but all the agility of a rock, or at least, that's how it felt moving out of his own body and into the kid's.
He had to register things quicker than usual in order to have time to move out of the way. In his own body, as soon as he noticed something, he could react right on the dot. In Rex's body, it felt like forever until his body responded to his commands.
His foot pushed him from the pavement of the road and into the air, katana drawn back.
Another Evo'd arm, one that wasn't attached to the Evo was about to attack, slammed into Six's ribs, sending him throught the air again. His back connected to the side of a building. Again, he fleetingly thought of how nice Rex's youth was and was thankful that he didn't feel that familiar shock through his spine... but it still hurt. He fell face first into the concrete and didn't move, adopting his previous believes.
A foot kicked his already bruised ribs. "Please... please, get up... please," Rex mumbled.
The response was a mutter against the cement that sounded very disrespectful.
"Six, what do you think you're doing?"
Oh, great, Holiday was back. Rex stared off into space, not coming up with anything to say again, "Uhhhh."
She continued, not realizing the incredible discomfort she was creating, "Whatever kind of exercise you're trying to do this time, don't you think now isn't the time? He's getting his butt kicked by these things. Just get in there and do something. White's not liking this."
"Uhhhh."
"And Rex!," she kept going, now talking to Six, "Why haven't you tried curing one of these things yet?"
Six growled.
Rex snapped back into reality, before Six had the chance to repeat any of his earlier responses. "Don't worry about this, Doc!," Rex said into the comm, pulling it out of his ear, "We've got this."
"Doc?"
Rex quickly turned off the link, looking down at Six. "You should get rid of yours, too."
"Don't talk to me right now, Rex," he muttered into the concrete.
The other crouched down, rolling his eyes and picking up the sword. "We need to do something."
Six turned his head to the side, so his face wasn't pressed against the sidewalk and he could properly talk. "We could always use this as a good oppurtunity to run away."
"Yeah," Rex nodded, "Except Providence still has the Evo that did this," he pulled at his shirt for emphasis, "It's probably the only thing that can change us back."
"Point," Six muttered again. Suddenly, a large shadow passed over them... a large Evo shadow.
Rex balked.
Six sat up. "You handle it," he said, "I've been fighting, you haven't done anything."
"I don't know what to-... You have not been fighting!"
"Just do something!"
One of the Evo's giant arms swung down to it's targets. Six brought his feet from under him, quickly jumping out of the way, while Rex dived, the katana still in hand.
"Take it down, Rex," Six ordered, out of pure laziness.
Rex rolled his eyes again, as the other arm was swinging down. He slowly let out the air in his chest, finally able to put some of that old fashioned, non-Evo training to use. Rex jumped over the arm, balancing on the Evo's shoulder and quickly stabbing the katana into the neck.
It wailed and tossed it's arm, throwing Rex off of it. He quickly managed a flip, landing on his feet in a crouch. The Evo continued to wail and spin beside them, but Rex wasn't concerned. Instead, he was a grinning idiot.
"Dude!," he screamed over to Rex, who was still sitting on the ground and tiredly watching the fight, "I totally take back all those old jokes! You roc-" Another Evo from behind hit his side, also sailing him across the blacktop.
He skidded to a stop on the pavement, right arm and hand twitching. "My... baaaaack," me mumbled, trying not to move.
Six sighed and stood. "That's sad," he whispered to himself.
The wounded Evo turned it's attention towards him and it was obviously pissed off. Faster than it was before, it's arm shot out to him. Six shot his arms up to his face shut his eyes tight, only thinking block block block block block. He figured this was about to hurt.
A familiar sounded reached his ears and the Evo's attack felt muffled against his arms. He chanced an eye open and seen orange metal.
His eyes quickly popped open and, upon hearing Holiday's voice, realized that he never bothered to take the comm out of his ear.
"Finally, Rex. Just hurry and take these things out."
"Uhhhh," Six responded, looking at the Smack Hands, "... yeah."

Spring Break is next week, so I'd expect more updates on both of my fics. Plus, summer isn't too far off, so YAY.
Sorry about the long update and I didn't proofread this.
This chap was longer than I thought it would be. Hopefully, we'll wrap up the fight in the next chap.
Aight, see ya'll later.
