Thanks for all the reviews. I understand the scenes are drastically changing into a more serious plot of the story, but just please bare with me. I understand that things are not looking good for Rex and his friends, but please continue reading.

Chapter 9

Rex -

I open my eyes to the fires of hell and blackness. I can barely see the outside world, locked away in my own body. I'm literally a soul that is trapped in the dark, unable to do anything. I listen to the roars of my own voice; just hearing myself gives me shivers down my back. I look again to a beautiful city that is now beginning to tremble underneath my feet. I tried gaining control of myself, but it feels like all hope is lost. My humanity is now beginning to fade away forever. I'm now like the other evos, trying to hold on to the little humanity I have left. I can't let go of that…I'm still barely holding on. The only thing that makes me have the courage to survive is my friends; without them, I'd have already been gone.

…

Six –

My breathing is beginning to slow down. My heart is starting to shut down; I can feel the rain water beginning to run off my skin, washing away the blood on my suit. I lifted up one of my eye lids, seeing that I was no longer in the city, but in a cave a little ways from the city. I could see the smoke rising into the black sky of the night. I soon rolled my head over and looked at my torn up stomach, but my sword was no longer there, penetrated in the wound. I soon noticed both my katanas, lying right by my side.

Soon out of the rain, a large black evo appeared next to me. It was covered with long black fur, and its face was long and narrow with sharp red eyes. The creature soon walked over and put its fury hands on my wounds. I tried moving away, but I was too sore to move. I ended up groaning from the pain, feeling like I had ripped it even more. The evo soon closed its eyes for a couple of seconds, and then reopened them. It stood up from kneeling and walked away. I looked back at my wounds, and within a insist, they were gone. I was healed.

I sat up and looked up and it's depressing face, "why…why did you heal me?"

The evo turned around and looked at me, and then spoke in English, "My master…he told me to. He told me to take you to a safe area and heal you."

"And who is your master?" I asked.

"The dragon… the one who's leading an army of evos in New York. I believe he use to be a teenage boy who worked for Providence."

I laid there on the cold, rocky flooring with my mouth dropped.

Was it Rex? Has he finally gone evo…but that doesn't make any since. He told this evo to heal me. What if…he's fighting back?

Footsteps could be heard and the sound of splashing running could be heard coming towards me. It soon sounded like a small group of people. The evo that helped me soon took a step back then ran off towards the city, probably joining the fight with the dragon.

As I looked off the distance, Holiday soon came running into the cave with Bobo and Noah.

"Six!" Holiday soon collapsed next to me and wrapped her arms around me. She started crying, crying of happiness and not sadness. I soon put my arms around her and hugged her back, showing her that it was ok.

She then looked down to where my wound was, and she looked at me with surprise, "But how, I saw you being stabbed my Van Kleiss?"

"An evo, the dragon in New York sent an evo to heal me." I responded. I didn't mention Rex, because I wasn't 100% if I was correct.

"That dragon was… it was Rex."

"That's what the evo told me."

"Maybe Rex is fighting back." Noah said.

Holiday soon stood up and helped me to my feet. I grabbed my two kantanas and walked outside in the rain, "Well let's go, we have to stop Rex before he destroys everything."

Holiday shook her ahead in agreement and followed me outside the cave. Bobo and Noah soon followed behind.

"What happened to Rex?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. When I saw you lying there, practically dead, Rex started going out of control. He began mutating and threatening to kill Van Kleiss." Holiday answered.

As Holiday, Noah, Bobo, and I entered the city, many of the buildings were either gone or destroyed. Then when I looked up, I saw Rex on top of a skyscraper, roaring towards the sky, with the rain running down the metal on his skin.

As soon as I turned my head, a group of evos started charging at us. Before we were hit, the large, black evo jumped in and swiped its claws against the other evos.

"If you want to save my master, you must hurry…now!" The evo yelled.

"But why are you helping us?" Noah asked.

"My master…your friend, is in a lot of pain. His roars are cries, there showing his pain and sadness."

I began running towards the skyscraper where Rex was, and hearing of his suffering only broke my heart. He was my partner, somebody I would never want to suffer. I looked back while running and watched the evo fight back the others. I soon looked forward and saw the dragon begin flapping its large wings. It began skydiving towards the ground and smashing into the paved cement. He was pinning Van Kleiss towards the hard, rocky ground. The man, or evo, was no longer moving. His body was looking pale and lifeless, just lying there in the rain.

"Rex, stop!" I yelled.

"No, Six! You'll be killed!" Holiday yelled.

The dragon lowered its head and began growling lightly. He soon lifted his giant, mechanical hands and walked towards me, as if he was studying me. He soon stood up on his hind legs then cried its roar into the night sky.

He soon lowered his body and pinned me to the ground with one of his hands. He didn't crush me at all, but simply had me on my back and unable.

"Rex, please. Since when have you ever let somebody take control of you? You can fight this."

The creature continuing looking right into my soul with its dark, red eyes. He then lifted up his claws and was ready to strike me. I waited and continued lying there.

"Rex…"

The dragon soon began to strike. His large mechanical claw was ready to strike and smashed into the ground next to me. It purposely missed and it stood there, heavily breathing on my face.

"Fight it Rex," I whispered, "Fight it."

…

Rex –

Six? Is…is that really him? But I saw him, he was stabbed. Is that truly him?

I continued struggling to gain control, but it's still no use. Come on, I can do this. My nanites won't control me today…or tomorrow.

…

Leaving it at another cliffhanger and I know I sound mean, but I'm only doing it to make it more intense! Stay tune for a new chapter! (I'll try posting the next one a little earlier the usual.)

I also apologize for making this chapter short. :P
