Setting Change: Abyssus
"Rex?" Sierra asked, snapping Rex out of what ever he was thinking about. "Only 5 minutes till the war. Aren't you a bit tense? And shouldn't we be rushing to the giant EVO bug ship by now?" she continued, trying to get some answers from Rex. Rex looked at her. "I expected you to ask that question Sierra, and truth be told, I am a bit tense. And anyways, let's get back to the ship." he said, hoping that he answered all of his questions as he began walking with her out of the throne room. Fortunately, Sierra had no more questions, so she trotted along with Rex to the ship. She entered the EVO bug ship and waited for Rex, as he was giving some last minute briefings to Dagian and Minolton. "We have a war to fight. Now remember the briefings!" he called off to them before trotting to the bug ship.
Dagian and Minolton nodded. Dagian headed off to another ship, which was filled with an army of vicious EVOs, ready to show their wrath to Tokyo and Hong Kong. Minolton headed off to a different one with an army of EVOs ready to make London crumble into dust. The ship Rex and Sierra were in was filled with another army of EVOs, the most trusted EVOs, and Six captive. It was headed towards Providence Base.
Setting Change: London
Tuck, Sqwydd, and Cricket were all scattered around different regions of London. The streets were almost empty, like a ghost town, but much larger. Almost every citizen evacuated after hearing how Rex got into Providence Headquarters. One of the biggest tourists attraction in the world was almost completely empty. Though each of the three were far apart from each other, they were all thinking about the same thing. Rex. Rex had been their friend, their gang leader, yes he betrayed them once but he made up for it. He helped free the three from Quarry's reign. But now, Rex betrayed them on a whole new level. As they thought about Rex, they thought about Circe. "What state she must be in..." Tuck muttered to himself. "I hope Circe's taking it alright." Cricket muttered. "What an idiot Rex was...to leave Circe...to just hurt her more than once..." Sqwydd muttered. The three also thought about the time when Circe suddenly just left the gang in Hong Kong a few months ago. That was a few hours after Rex broke out of Providence.
Flashback: Hong Kong
The 4 friends were all just pacing around the room, doing their own thing. Circe and Cricket were talking to each other about God knows what. Tuck and Sqwydd were having friendly competitions which constantly resulted in a tie. They were trying to see who was better than the other at something. "What about...a noodle eating competition?" Sqwydd remarked, confident on a victory. Tuck, who could understand why Sqydd mentioned the idea, shook his head.
Circe and Cricket walked into Circe's room to talk about some stuff that the boys could never hear about. "So...I think we should make sure those idiots are not spying on us." Cricket suggested. Circe nodded. Meanwhile, Tuck and Sqwydd were about to rush out when they heard the Communicator that Rex gave them just in case ring. That meant that Rex was calling. The boys froze in their tracks for two reason. Reason 1 was the ringing Communicator. Reason 2 was that Circe and Cricket were pulling their ears. "Can't fool us." they said in unison.
But soon the four rushed to the ringing Communicator, diverting their attention to it. Circe picked it up. The words they all heard coming were not expected. "Circe! Anyone! Rex has gone crazy! He destroyed Providence Headquarters! He destroyed Providence Headquarters! Keep cover!" Holiday's voice exclaimed.
Flashback: Two hours later
"Hey Sqwydd! Have you seen Circe?" Cricket asked with a look of worry on her face. Sqwydd, who was just sitting on the couch along with Tuck, waiting for another news flash from Providence and watching T.V., shook his head. "Isn't she in her room?" he asked. "No. I can't find her anywhere!" Cricket replied, growing more tense by the second. Little did they know that Circe was all the way in Abyssus.
Setting Change: EVO Bug Ship [The one headed for Providence]
Six tried to regain his breath. He was amazed he was alive, yet he was just barely alive. Rex nearly killed him back there. He found himself chained against a stake dug deep into EVO skin. "Ugh." he muttered to himself, trying to free himself from the chains. It was no use. He was stuck. He tried to move his legs, but a immense amount of pain responded. Maybe I just need some time for my feet to adjust, Six said to himself. He then tried to force his nerve to activate the clips in his sleeves which held his magnetic blades. No use. He turned his head and saw that pikes were jabbed into the areas where the clips were with surgical precision. They didn't break his skin, just stop the clips from working. "Now why wouldn't he stab me all the way?" he muttered, wondering of the hundreds of reasons why.
"It's very simple Six." Rex's voice said, as if reading Six's mind. His shadow first appeared, then his figure. He walked up to Six pointing a knife at his neck. "You want to know why I didn't finish you off?" he questioned with a sly smile. Six dared to nod, answering Rex's question. "Simple, to threaten Providence." Rex replied as his sly smile grew. Six was shocked. Using him to threaten Providence? "And you think that White would just give up something for their most valuable agent?" Rex continued, trying to deploy his plan onto Six. Six remained silent, not wanting to hear what was going to come up next. "White isn't as good as you think." Rex exclaimed with a stern voice. He then proceeded out of the room, as 5 EVOs proceeded into the room.
EVERYONE CHAPTER 8 WILL BE FINISHED MY 10/14/11! I was supposed to finish it by today, 10/12/11, but I'm in college and everything and I got a long schedule. So please be patient. If I also have some time I'll finish Chapter 9 by that time too.
