Rex was walking slowly towards Holiday's lab. He expected the entire place to be empty, yet he decided to see the place for himself just in case anything that could be of use was left. Joshua was walking at the same pace behind him. "Rex, with all do respect, why are we going to Holiday's lab?" he asked, extremely curious. Rex stayed silent. Joshua kept his mouth shut for the time being. Dagian had once told him that if Rex is silent, he's thinking about something, and if he's thinking about something, he doesn't want to be disturbed. If he was disturbed, there would be a price to pay.
The two finally approached Holiday's lab. The whole place was a mess. The computers were nearly destroyed. Their core files were deleted and the main parts of them were ripped out. "Holiday...you sly cat..." Rex muttered. He scanned the entire room, taking a note of everything around. Joshua tried booting up some of the computers to see if they would work. A few were working, yet they were disconnected from the Providence network. This meant that there were no useful files hidden.
Rex noticed something at the corner of his eye. At first he chose to ignore it, but realizing it was actual paper, something Providence rarely used, he grabbed it. The piece of paper was crumpled up. Then Rex surveyed the area where he found the piece of paper. There was nothing but cut wires and some needles which were probably used for lab tests. Then Rex opened up the piece of paper. It was actually a note.
Rex. I hope you found this. I just want to tell you I love you. Please stop this madness. You have one last chance. Use it well.
Love, Circe
At first Rex thought. One last chance. He had one last chance to correct his mistakes. Would he correct them? He didn't know. His hatred of Providence was like a mask covering his mercy and cheerfulness.
But then another thought came to his mind. The note may have been placed there hastily by Circe. Then they probably had only minutes to hide. But were would they hide? Then he gave a sly grin. "Joshua! Bring in the prisoner for me..." he called out. Joshua nodded and hastily ran out of the room. "Who knew Six would be so useful..." he muttered.
Setting Change: Tokyo
Dagian was having a blast destroying the city of Tokyo. He felt good knowing that he was crumbling the world's largest metropolitan city under Rex's command. There were many Providence soldiers, jets, and tanks. Yet they were no match for hundreds of thousands of EVOs attacking the city, that's almost how many EVOs are in the Bug Jar. The Bug Jar would be easy to bombard, yet Rex pulled back, saying that the Bug Jar was full of "emergency" associates. Dagian agreed though.
He was currently viewing the attack from all sides on the top of the Tokyo Sky Tree, the tallest structure in Tokyo. But soon the tower would be given a new name, for Rex would soon be the ruler of Abyssus, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and London. Dagian chuckled, staring at the wonderful mixture of terror and chaos. He could hear the screams of people as cars were toppled over, houses were destroyed, and people nearly losing their lives.
"Dagian." a voice said from Dagian's communicator. The bio-mechanical wolf understood who it was. "Minolton? Is everything going according to plan?" he questioned, wondering why Minolton would call at a time like this. "Yes, everything is going according to plan. How about you?" Minolton replied, trying to talk over the background sound of people screaming. "Fine. You should see the chaos over here. Everything is wonderful!" Dagian answered, turning off his Communicator.
Then the signal came. Two lights of fire from the roof top of the Tokyo Tower. The lights shined in the evening sky, making the tall Tokyo Tower glisten with its white and orange coating. It made Dagian think he was in Paris, France, since the Tokyo Tower looked exactly like the Eiffel Tower, except it had a different color scheme. Yet Dagian understood the signal well. Tokyo was now Rex's Tokyo.
