Lina Trinch: It was meant to be confusing, so…yay! And you're lucky your school starts that late…I wish mine did :P

Blah…too lazy to write one. Here's this thingy though: GR © MoA.
"Get up you worthless slave!" A man shouted at Rex, who was currently half concussed, supporting himself against a wall.
"I can't…" The boy weakly replied before he blacked out.
"You're weak." The man said. He walked over to Rex and picked the boy up by his collar. He drew a knife from his belt pouch and was about to stab the boy, when he was interrupted.
"Get your hands off him." Six said as he emerged from the hallway and took out his katanas. The agent ran up to the man and in turn, stabbed him. Yin and Holiday quickly followed the agent into the room and stared down at the possibly dead man before turning their attention to Rex, who was lying in a heap against the wall, covered in blood.
"Rex!" Holiday screamed as she ran to Rex and held him in her arms. She placed her hand against the boy's neck in an effort to find a pulse. "He's alive, but just barely. I don't know what happened to him, but he's completely drained. Both physically, and possibly power-wise."
"It would make sense. These creatures, whatever they are-" Yin said while shining the candle over the man previously attempting to kill Rex, "They're not human."
"Evo?" Six hypothesized as he looked down at the creature. It had jet black skin and hair. The being had the basic structure of a human, but had the main, tail, claws, and fangs of a lion.
"Most likely." Yin stated.
"We need to get Rex back to base." Holiday and Six both turned to look at Yin.
"I'd love to teleport us back, but that usually requires me having the basic idea of where I am." Yin explained. "Unless we figure out where we are, which is very unlikely, we're going to have to find another way back."
"That might be a problem." Holiday said as she held the candle up to the walls. "I can't find the door."
"Neither can I." Six said while helping Holiday look around.
"So we're trapped…in a dark hole. With no hope of getting out. While Rex is bleeding to death. What else am I forgetting?" Yin began to rant. "Oh yeah, Van Kleiss is probably invading base with the pack. But I can cure Rex, so that just leaves three things that are wrong." Yin picked up the candle and walked over to Rex. She placed the object on the ground before bending water onto her hands and placing her hands on the teen's chest. Slowly, his wounds began to fade away, and they eventually disappeared.
"Is he alright?" Holiday asked.
"His body is recovering. The only thing I can do is help it along and fix the critical damage." Yin said. "He'll be okay though."
"We need to focus on getting out of here." Six said.
"If only we knew where here was." Yin added. She walked over to the wall and slammed her fist into it. After she hit the wall, one of the bricks slipped back into the wall. "Six, Holiday; I think this brick just moved."
"What?" Holiday and Six ran over to where Yin was standing to investigate the brick. "It's an exit."
"Or a trap." Six said.
"What other choice to we have?" Holiday asked the agent.
"Good point." Six glanced at the brick before kicking it completely through the wall. After the brick fell through, the wall began to crumble, then it completely collapsed.
The three walked through the opening in the room and entered a garden. Unfortunately, the hedges were cut to form an elaborate labyrinth, which appeared virtually impassable.
"Nope, that's it. I give up." Yin said before lying on the grass. "Freaky vibrations on the ground, by the way. We're not the only ones here."
"What do you mean? Who else is here?" Six questioned.
"More of those weird Evo things." Yin said before standing up. "They're coming closer too. I'm going with Six's theory that this was a trap."
"I'll guard Rex. You two have to hold them off until I can find another way out of here." Holiday said.
"There's no point; this is the only way out. We get through, or over, this labyrinth and we're home free…I think." Yin said.
"Then we're getting through." Six said. The agent brought out his katanas and began slicing through the hedges.
"You're not going to get through that way." Yin said. "There are too many isles to cut through. It would take hours, or maybe even days."
"What do you suggest." Six asked.
"Let's take a more…direct approach to this." The girl said. She lit her hands on fire and formed a giant circle of the ground made of fire. The circle expanded, and she warned Six and Holiday to take Rex and get back out of the garden. After the circle covered as far as Yin theorized the hedges to expand, she lifted her hands and a wall of fire emerged from the circle's border. Slowly, everything that the circle contained burned and turned into ashes.
When everything was burnt and the path through the used-to-be-labyrinth was clear, Yin called Holiday and Six to come back and bring Rex back in. The two ran past her to the exit, neither holding Rex. She glanced over at the pair before running after them.
"Where's Rex?" The girl asked.
"Breach's portal. She's gone." Holiday answered while continuing to run.
"Kleiss took him…" Yin commented.
"That's why we need to get back. Now!" Holiday said.
"Wait," Yin began, "If Breach could use a portal to get Rex without seeing him, then we're in a place controlled by her. This is a reversal of the stuff that Rex told me happened when Breach captured him. Only, this time we're the ones in her freaky dimension. Not him."
"Yin, I think you're right. Only, is that enough information for you to be able to teleport us back to base?" Holiday asked.
"It's worth a try." The girl grabbed Six and Holiday's wrists and teleported them back to base, only to find Rex bloody once more. The teen was barely conscious, and Van Kleiss was fighting him. Rex could barely stand his ground.
Six pulled out his katanas and ran over to stop Van Kleiss, only to be stopped in turn by Breach, who teleported herself directly in front of the agent. He held is katanas over his head and was about to slice down on the girl, when she opened a portal and shoved the agent through. Six was teleported next to Rex, but was able to react in time to stop himself from slicing Rex with his katanas. While the two were in slight shock, Van Kleiss saw an opening and struck Rex in the side of the head, which resulted in a loss of consciousness for the boy.
Van Kleiss ran away from Rex and towards the agent, who swiftly avoided the man's attack. The two fought while Holiday snuck around them to drag the currently unconscious Rex away from the battle, though she was stopped by Biowulf. Noticing that Holiday needed help, Yin ran over and began holding off Biowulf while Holiday struggled to get Rex to safety.
When Holiday reached the door to exit the room, she was stopped once again, this time by Skalamander. Holiday momentarily dropped Rex and pulled a tranquilizer gun from a pouch on her belt. She shot the lizard mutant multiple times, which caused him to collapse forward onto the ground, before picking up Rex and making a mad dash for the door before another force could stop her.
Running through the halls, Holiday quickly reached the lab. She placed Rex on one of the hospital beds and hooked him up to a heart monitor, oxygen, an anesthetic, and other various machines. The doctor pulled over a stool and sat beside the boy. She held a stethoscope to his heart and examined the boy to make sure he was alright-well, as alright as he could be in his present state. The doctor simply sat beside Rex and continued to examine him, but felt somewhat guilty that she was not helping Six and Yin fight off the pack. She knew that right now, Rex needed her more than Yin and Six needed her.
Six lifted his katanas to slice through the army of vines that Van Kleiss had summoned. One of the vines found its way to the agent's ankle and wrapped itself around it, sweeping the man in the process. As Six fell, he lost grip on his katanas, and they went flying across the room, so the agent was unable to slice through the vine. Yin, finished fighting Biowulf, ran over to assist the agent. She brought out her pair of sai and sliced through the vine. Six stood up and ran over to where his katanas were. He grabbed them and ran back to join the fight, but Breach teleported him away before the agent could reach Van Kleiss. Surprisingly, Breach walked over to Van Kleiss and sent a portal to teleport him away as well.
"Where did you send him." Yin sternly asked. Breach had no response, so she decided to narrow down her question. "Six, not Kleiss."
"Go check on Rex, he's with Rex. The other is with Rex too. The lady, not the other man. Everyone is with Rex. Rex is popular around here. Just like he should be." Breach said. "They'll attack again after Rex is better. I don't want anything happening to Rex, so I sent them away. Now they can't hurt Rex. Not now. Not ever." The girl walked over to Skalamander and Biowulf and opened a portal to send them away. Breach, however, walked back to where she was previously standing and stayed there.
Yin began walking out of the room, when she stopped and turned to face Breach. The girl simply stood still, so Yin walked on.
"Is Rex alright?" Yin asked no one in general, upon entering the lab.
"He's alive." Holiday said. "But that's the only positive thing I can say at this point. I'm not sure what happened to him, but he just barely survived whatever it was that happened."
After Holiday's explanation, one of Breach's portals opened and she stepped through it into the room. The girl started walking towards Yin, who was standing beside Six, Holiday, and Rex. Six raised his katanas and Holiday pulled out a gun when Breach continued to walk closer. Yin motioned her hand toward the ground in an effort to tell the two to lower their weapons, which they complied to.
"Long time. It's been long. Very long, sis. Long time." Breach rambled.
"Yin, what is she talking about?" Holiday asked the girl.
"Breach…is one of my sisters." Yin explained. Breach allowed a demonic grin to slip onto her face as Six and Holiday's jaws dropped in shock and their weapons fell to the floor.
AN:
So that was a pretty short chapter by my standards, but I just felt that that was a good note to end on. I hope I cleared most things up, but everything else will be explained in the next chapter. I'm actually starting to write a cannon generator Rex story about the events in "Promises, Promises". It's about how Rex was forced to adapt to Providence. They'll be a better summary when I actually post the story. But, now I'm working part time on that one as well as this story. The new story should be up within a few days. Oh, and last but definitely not least; I have to learn the piano parts for 37 songs for a school musical in ONE and 1/2 months…so it might take me a while to update for the next few weeks. I'll try to get at least one chapter per story up every week for the time being, but I don't know if I can even guarantee that much. :(
