I don't own Generator Rex or this idea.
Van Kleiss led Rex into his inner sanctum. Rex looked around the dimly lit room. A shadow fell over him. Rex looked up apprehensively. His eyes widened.
"Rex, I would like you to meet…" Van Kleiss started saying.
"Puppy!" Rex cried happily.
"What?" Biowulf took a step back.
Rex pulled away from Van Kleiss and ran towards Biowulf, latching himself to his leg.
"Puppy!" Rex giggled.
"Get it off me!" Biowulf tried to shake Rex off.
Rex just started laughing and hung on tighter.
"Ah, I see you have found a playmate. Biowulf, will you watch Rex while I… prepare a place for him." Van Kleiss walked away.
"But… but… master?" Biowulf sputtered.
Rex crawled from Biowulf's leg up onto his shoulders.
"Puppy go!" Rex grabbed Biowulf's ears as his little legs wrapped around his neck.
"Aurgh!" Biowulf yelled. He tried to reach behind him to remove the little nuisance.
"Go! Go! Go!" Rex whooped!
Biowulf spun around like a top around the room with Rex laughing. Finally, tiring out Biowulf dropped to the floor exhausted.
"Awww, puppy no go?" Rex pulled Biowulf's ears back. Biowulf just panted.
A shiver went through Rex. When he looked up, the strange lady named Breach emerged from a red portal.
"Let's play, Rex." Breach smiled creepily.
"Um, okay. What do you want to play?" Rex looked at the lady with four arms.
"Let's play catch." Suddenly another red portal appeared and a huge medicine ball flew out at Rex. Rex closed his eyes and held out his hands. When his face wasn't spattered, he opened one eye. His hands had grown into monstrous red metal protrusions… and they had stopped the ball from hitting him.
"Woah." Rex said with awe.
"Good catch, Rex." Breach did not sound happy.
More random portals opened shooting out various sized balls. Rex threw away the medicine ball and started batting the balls back. Red portals appeared to swallow up the balls.
"This is fun." Rex declared as he used his Smack Hands to bat the balls away.
"Oh yeah, how about this?" Breach asked through gritted teeth.
Red portals above Rex opened and bowling balls rained down on him.
Rex's Smack Hands started spinning. "Cool! I didn't know I can do that." Rex exclaimed. The Drill Hands deflected the bowling balls. They bounced around the room ricocheting off the walls. Biowulf had to jump out of the way. Breach used portals to whisk away any that came near her.
"What's going on in…oooph!" Skalamander was walking in when an errant ball smacked into him.
"Breach, stop!" Biowulf demanded.
"I want him to pay for breaking my stuff." Breach pouted.
"He's breaking Van Kleiss's stuff now!" Biowulf yelled. "You want to explain why his throne room is destroyed?"
All of the sudden all the balls disappeared.
"Aww," Rex said with disappointment.
"Come here, you little brat." Biowulf told Rex.
"Tag! You're it!" Rex laughed as he slapped Biowulf on the arm. He formed his Rex Ride and motored out of the throne room.
"Get him!" Biowulf shouted.
Skalamader was just recovering from being hit.
"Wha?" He muttered as he raised himself up. Looking up he saw flash of red.
BOOM!
Skalamander was down again. This time there were skid marks straight down his body.
Biowulf stepped on Skalamander as he bounded after Rex.
Skalamander groaned from the floor.

When Six realized that Van Kleiss had Rex, he raced back in the direction of the safe house. He didn't bother informing Holiday. He was too worried about Rex and every minute counted. He knew Holiday would have come by jet but the jet would have landed where it was not conspicuous. That would mean it would have landed in the clearing near the safe house. The house came into sight. He ran straight into the backyard. Six wasn't sure where the jet would be since it was probably camouflaged. Just as he was wondering where he should look first, he ran straight into it. The hidden jet knocked him flat on his back. He momentarily blacked out.
"Oi, Six, you still sleeping, luv?" Six heard Five's voice. "One's gonna kill you, he is."
"Five more minutes." Six groaned.
"You'll be runn' laps till ya legs fall off." She chortled.
"Whatever." Six grumbled.
"Hey, Six. You best be getting yer keister down to breakfast before I eats it all." Six now heard Tres' voice.
"Gumbo is not breakfast and I wouldn't touch what you make with a ten foot pole." Six retorted.
"Suits yerself. More for me." Tres' heavy footsteps faded away.
"Whatcha doing still in bed, Six? Oh, I get it you're just trying to psyke me out. Well, it's not going to work. I have my eye on you." IV snarled.
"Bite me, you paranoid freak!" Six snapped.
"Bah, lying down on the job, Six? I don't even know why One keeps you around. You're undisciplined, rebellious, and stubborn. You'll never amount to anything!" A Spanish accent accompanied the tirade.
"Shut up, Dos! You don't know me. You don't know anything." Six fumed. Then there was silence. Six seemed to drift back to sleep.
"Six!" A strong authoritative voice spoke now. Six would recognize it anywhere. He was in trouble.
"Y...yes, One?" Six stammered.
"I can not help but notice that you are still not up." He said calmly.
"Well, I... am... uh... meditating on the lessons from yesterday." Six replied.
"I see. But today's lessons will not learn themselves and I believe there are people who need you."
"None of the Numbers need me." Six muttered.
"No, they do not. But someone you have made a promise to... to keep them safe. He needs you, Six. Now GET UP!"
Six shot up, startled, banging his head again on the hard metal surface. A tarp slid off revealing the plane.
Six pushed himself up. Touching the knot that was forming on his head, he winced. Getting to his feet, he realized that he had been dreaming of his former life. Dos was right. He was undisciplined, rebellious, and stubborn... just like a little kid he knew. And One was right too. Six had a promise to keep. Entering the plane, he checked to see how much time he lost. He was surprised to see that it wasn't that much. Well, then he better get moving. But then he noticed that he couldn't quite see above the windshield when he sat in seat. Gritting his teeth he looked around for something to raise his height. Seeing Holiday's bag in the back seat, he grabbed it. Placing it underneath him, he set off… at least he tried to. He couldn't seem to remember how to fly a plane. Holiday was right he was regressing. Closing his eyes, he pounded his forehead. Think! Think! Think! Rex is in trouble. You have to go help him.
A small spark ignited in his brain. Opening his eyes with new determination, he started pressing buttons and flipping switches. The jet roared to life and a second later he was in the air. Setting a course to the Abysus, the jet took off with a slight wobble.
"I'm coming Rex. Hang on!"

Rex raced down the hallway of the castle on his Rex Ride. Snickering he looked behind him. The puppy was still a million miles away.
"Ha ha, you can't catch me!" Rex called back. When he turned around, he gasped and hit the breaks. He was barely able to stop in time. In front of him was a giant crevice.
"Uh-oh." Rex muttered.
"Now I've got you!" Biowulf lumbered towards him.
Rex thought quickly. His bike rescinded and wings grew from his back. "Come on, come on!" He whispered fiercely to his Boogie Pack. The turbines started twirling and he shot off the ground. "Wheee!" Rex yelled happily, flying in loops.
"Get down here, you brat!" Biowulf growled menacingly.
"Come and get me!" Rex cried gleefully.
Biowulf snapped off a stone and hurled it at Rex, who moved out of the way.
"Hey! That's cheating!" Rex said indignantly.
Biowulf threw another stone. Rex dodged it and another and another.
"You throw like a girl." Rex taunted. A crystal shard shot through one of the turbines and Rex lost control. He spun around erratically in the air before his Boogie Pack crumbled. Skalamander had arrived. He was headed straight for the chasm when Biowulf grabbed his jacket. He pulled Rex to his face growling.
"Nice puppy?" Rex gave him his best grin.
Biowulf raised his claw.
"Rex! There you are. Having fun?" Van Kleiss stepped into the room. "Biowulf bring him here."
Biowulf hesitated a second, claw still poised to strike, but finally, relented and brought the boy to Van Kleiss. He then dropped Rex roughly onto the floor in front of Van Kleiss.
Rex glared at Biowulf while rubbing his backside.
"Now Rex, I have a favor to ask of you." Van Kleiss's eyes glittered.
"Um, I'm just a little kid. What can I do?" Rex asked innocently.
"Oh, you're very special Rex, very special indeed. And I have another game for you to play." Van Kleiss said as he led the boy down some stairs. When the stairs ended, rock emerged from the ground to allow Van Kleiss and Rex to continue down to the dark recesses of the castle. "Biowulf, make sure we are not disturbed."
"Yes, master." Biowulf, who had followed them up to where the stairs ended, went back up the stairs as Rex and Van Kleiss disappeared into the darkness below.
