Author's Note: Hey everyone like thanks for all the reviews and please sit back and find out what is going to happen this time. Also there is a small time skip as nothing entirely plot wise happens until this point. Enjoy!
A week later:
Rex was in the arena once again and he was fighting back against his opponent. He wasn't concentrating on the fight. He was merely allowing the nanites to take over and fight for him using his body. He still wasn't able to create his giant fists, wings, or anything else when up against anything that wasn't an EVO, but the nanites had ceased listening to him altogether and used his body whenever fighting.
He had no idea how long it had been since he had come to this place. He didn't particularly care anymore. He only knew he was now being fed food every so often as a reward for doing "good" in his "training." He also knew that something inside him was gone. He couldn't figure out what, but that something he'd had before had disappeared before his eyes in his time here.
He came back to himself as his opponent fell in front of him. He had no idea how many opponents he had killed or wounded to the brink of killing to this point. He only knew that if he didn't do as told he would be hurt and not just through the nanites but physically as well as he had experienced multiple times before.
He didn't say anything or do anything as the soldiers came and showed him out of the arena and back to the observation room where Agent Two waited. Rex walked into the room and stopped in the center waiting for whatever she wanted.
She looked up at him and smiled, "That was a great training session, Rex."
He didn't say anything; he only stood there silently while she walked up to him and placed her hand under his chin. She moved his head down to look at her and smiled.
"Well, Rex, I believe it is time to bring you into a real fight. What do you think? Are you ready?"
"Whatever you wish ma'am," Rex said in a monotone.
"Come, Rex," she commanded and walked away.
He followed her through the halls and she opened a door that led outside the base. Rex covered his eyes with a hand as he stepped into the sunlight for the first time since he was brought to the base. He paused before walking on unused to the heat of the sun on his skin. He squinted his eyes trying to adjust to the light.
"Come Rex. You will adjust by the time we arrive," Agent Two said.
"Yes ma'am," he replied and followed her to a ship in the middle of the landing field.
She boarded the ship and he followed her and sat down in a seat indicated to him to sit down in. She continued to the front of the ship and talked to the pilot who nodded at what she was saying and once she was sitting they took off.
"We need reinforcements!" Six shouted.
"There are some already on the way!"
"Good," he muttered under his breath.
He turned back to the battle with the EVO. This was the most recent case and so far as he knew the next one to be killed. It had been two weeks since Rex had been taken away by Agent Two and he had heard nothing about whether Rex was going to be coming into the field at any time in the future. Agent Two seemed to want to keep up her training with him, no matter how much of him she destroyed. Providence was losing its popularity from those whose loved ones were never given the chance to live a normal life again after going EVO. They needed Rex's ability to cure EVO's to bring them back into the goodness of people's hearts before it was too late to change it.
He pushed the button on his communicator, "How far away are the reinforcements?"
"They should be here in 3 minutes," came the reply. "Uh, Agent Six, the reinforcements are asking for everyone to stand down as soon as they get there. They won't tell me why they want this to happen."
"By who's authority?"
"Agent Two's orders, sir."
Six sighed, "Spread the order to stand down."
"Yes sir."
Could she have finally decided to bring Rex back into the missions? I suppose I'll find out in a couple minutes.
An aircraft came overhead and landed in the street. The ramp lowered to the ground as Agent Two walked out with Rex following calmly behind. Six waited where he was studying Rex as he walked behind her towards him. He had a better appearance than the last time he had seen him and he looked as though he was being allowed to eat something. All in all he could've been a lot worse, but he wasn't too bad.
"What's the status report on the EVO, Agent Six?" Agent Two asked.
"The EVO has already taken out two squadrons and a third is very close to being wiped out," Six reported.
She nodded and turned to Rex, "You know what to do."
Rex replied, "Yes ma'am."
He walked forward and left the nanites in control for the battle allowing them to take over his will and body. The nanites created his wings and flew him off to battle.
Six watched as he flew towards the EVO and prayed that he would be okay.
The nanites took over all operations of his body as they flew him up to the EVO that was as large as just about any skyscraper in New York City. The wings disappeared and his fist became a large metal fist which hit the EVO knocking it off balance and causing it to fall back onto the street behind it. Once down Rex landed on its body and placed his hands on it. The nanites entered and brought back the infected ones from the EVO, but instead of deactivating them, the nanites joined with his, taking over.
Rex realized something was wrong as he tried to pull back, but it was too late, the nanites from the EVO were entering him and fusing with him. These nanites took his nanites refusal to listen to him and began turning him into an EVO. He threw his head back silently screaming in pain as the collar tightened around his neck. He clawed at it with the one hand not sucking in the nanites from the EVO.
"Somethings not right," Six said.
Agent Two looked confused, "What is he doing?"
"He's going EVO," Six answered remembering the first time Rex had joined with Providence.
Agent Two looked at Rex and noticed that he was indeed becoming an EVO for whatever reason.
"Has he ever done this before?" she asked.
"Only the few times he's overloaded after curing many EVO's, but never anything this violent."
"We need soldiers up there now!" she ordered.
"Agent Two, what exactly have you done to Rex?" Six asked.
"It's none of your concern Agent Six," she snapped.
"I know it isn't, but if Rex isn't able to cure EVO's anymore then something happened in the last two weeks that you had him."
She turned to him angrily, "He's under my control! I believe the collar and bracelets will keep him under control even if he does go EVO."
"That's not the answer, Agent Two. He needs to be with someone who understands him and can take care of him. From what I've seen all you've done is make Rex dig a deep hole inside himself and sink into it allowing his body to do whatever you order him to do without a care in the world."
"He is under my control, Agent Six," she said forcefully.
Six sighed and pressed a button on his communicator, "Dr. Holiday, I need you to get down here now."
"Six? What's going on?...Is Rex down there?" she asked suddenly realizing why he was calling her.
"Yes he is, but he isn't the same and he's going EVO," Six told her.
He heard a gasp on the line, "What has that bitch done to him?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but he needs us now," Six said.
"I'm on my way."
Noah flipped the channel to a historic channel, then he flipped it again to a news channel and he was about to change it when he saw Providence uniforms in the background.
The reporter was saying something so he turned up the volume. "There seems to be another Agent coming into this fray and a…a teenage boy? Could this be Providence's secret weapon? All the Providence soldiers are standing down and the EVO is headed this way. We are unsure of what they are doing, but...wait… something's happening. The boy is he an EVO himself? He's walking towards the EVO and giant propeller wings are coming out of his body! This is amazing folks, see for yourselves."
The camera turned to show the teenage boy with the wings forming on his back and then he took off from the ground.
"Rex…" Noah muttered, "You're back."
"This boy seems to be able to control his nanites and as your seeing right now, his hand is becoming a large metal fist it seems. The EVO is down and I believe the Providence soldiers will be taking charge on this now." The reporter paused looking back at the EVO and the soldiers standing around, "Why are no Providence soldiers going to kill the EVO? Wait…hold onto your seats ladies and gentlemen, the boy is doing something up on top of the EVO."
Noah wasn't paying attention to the reporter anymore, but focusing on the red dot that was Rex on top of the EVO. He was curing it, but something was wrong. He watched as Rex threw back his head and began trying to pull away from the EVO, but was unable to, like he couldn't deactivate the nanites that were coming into his body. He began growing larger and he clawed at the collar around his neck with his free hand.
"Rex!" Noah shouted at the television set. "No Buddy, hang in there! Six is there! He'll help you!"
He watched as his friend grew and changed into what looked like a red and orange metal cyborg dragon. His wings sprouted from his back, but instead of his normal wings, large, torn, bat-like wings formed flaring out around him and wicked looking talons that looked to have the ability to turn into his large fists. He was able to finally raise his other hand from the EVO, but it was too late. He was gone and no one had the power to change him back. Rex was an EVO.
EVO Rex began to slice up the EVO in front of him with the talons protruding from his hands. Once it was dead he took off and flew towards another part of the city looking like he was going berserk.
"Rex!"
He ran to his room and grabbed the communicator Six had given to him before he had left the base for however long it took.
"Six! What's happened to Rex!" he asked.
"I'm not sure, Noah, but I may need you. It's possible he could regain control of the nanites if he sees a friend. He didn't even react when he saw me. Agent Two has done something to him and I don't know if there's any way for him to come back. Dr. Holiday is coming to get you. Be ready."
"Don't worry, I will be," Noah promised and took off the communicator. "Hang in there Rex. We're coming to help you
Author's Note: Wow! Finally it came into it. Also I had this chapter written up well before they showed Rex's arrival in Providence, so please don't bug me about that. I just had to write the chapters in between before I could post this one. Well I hope you all liked this chapter and please review! I love reviews! Thanks for reading!
