The minutes tick buy and I stare at the key chain, and smile. Geez, he still had this. That made me…really happy. But he didn't have to give it to me, there's no way I could sleep with the racket I kept hearing. Just random crashing noises of fighting, and some really strange loud yelling sound. Though it was muffled, I recognized it. Great, what was she doing? Were they fighting? I stand up and walk slowly towards the door, wondering if I should go out there. I was starting to feeling better, if a little dizzy.

Good thing is I don't have to worry for long, the door opens and I tense in case it's Kleiss or something. When I see who it is I relax.

"Rex! Are you okay? What happened? I heard weird noises!" I exclaim.

"We were fighting off some EVO's and we met up with the Biowulf and Circe" He explains.

I nod. "Thought so, explains the screaming noise. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, we're having…a temporary truce of sorts so we can hopefully all get out of here alive, though to do that I need to fix the shield." He gestures to the shield generator at the back of the room. "But I should be asking you that, you feeling good?"

I shrug. "Better then before, I'm starting to feel normal again."

"You? Normal?" He jokes.

I roll my eyes. "Coming from you? Priceless. But we can't just chat, we gotta fix this stupid thing I don't wan to be stuck here forever!"

"Chill, I got this." He assures, and talks to Holiday over the communicators, she makes sure I'm all right and then she starts to speak to Rex.

"Rex you'll need to follow this sequence exactly." She warns as he walks over to the machine.

"Op, no time for that!" Rex exclaims, placing his hand on the machine as it starts to glow blue.

"Do you know what you're doing?" I hiss, taking a step back in case it explodes. Not like that would exactly help though…

"No idea." Rex replies.

Great. Fabulous. We're all gonna die.

"Shield activation in sixty seconds" A robotic voice suddenly informs us, coming from who knows where.

"And you doubted me." Rex snarks.

As it starts to count down Rex suddenly bolts and grabs my hand dragging me through the door.

"Come on! I left them out there with a bunch of EVO's they'll need our help, can you run?" He asks as he drags me through the sewer tunnels.

"Yeah!" I nod, as I try not to slip in slime. I quickly slip Rex's keychain into my pocket for safekeeping.

We reach a ladder and instead of letting me climb up Rex grabs me around the waist and shoots upwards, transforming into the Rex Ride and bursting out of the pot hole.

I yelp. "Give me a warning next time!"

"Sorry, no time!" Rex lands in front of the others, who looked very surprised. "We are out of here!"

Bobo jumps on to the back with an unconscious Circe, I'm on the side my legs hanging off the edge but Rex had a firm arm around my waist and both hands clenched on to the handle bars. If we weren't surrounded by hostile EVO's I probably would be blushing.

"You coming or what?" Rex yells at Biowulf who is standing to the side.

"I was never here." It growls, and takes off.

"Suicidal crazy-" My insult is cut off when Rex suddenly shoots off as the countdown continues he robotic voice echoing across the town.

"Fourteen…Thirteen…"

"Gogogogogo!" I scream, clutching on to his arm so I don't go rocketing off by accident.

The front part widens a bit, to act as a battering ramp as Rex smashes through EVO's. I squeeze me eyes shut and hold on tight.

"We'regonnadiewe'regonnadie'weregonnadie-"

"Four…three…"

I open one of my eyes only to stare in horror as the yellow honeycombed pattern shield starts to stretch across the sky, heading from the top towards the edges of the dome.

"Two…"

We were going to be sliced in half by the shield! Cue screaming!

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"One."

WE MADE IT! Rex zooms past the shield, the back of the Rex Ride getting sliced off but he barely notices.

Bobo hops down and lays Circe on the ground, while I gasp for breath. This had been a crazy day.

"You've got quite a set of lungs on you." Rex smirks.

I glare at him and twist around a little."Yeah well, screaming for your life we'll do that to you."

"But I did get us out of their alive."

"….Yeah you did. Thanks." We both smile, but I pause when I realize something. "Uh…you can let go now."

He blinks in surprise and looks down at his arm still around my waist. He blushes and quickly let's go.

Suddenly we hear a groan and turn to see Cerci getting up. "Van Kleiss…" She gasps.

Seriously. That's the first thing she thinks of?

"Ah, Breach will get him out." Rex shrugs standing up and transforming back to normal. "Eventually." He helps her up, but doesn't let go of her hands.

Strangely he glances at me and a weird look passes over his face and he lets go of her hands like he'd been scalded.

Okay?

"But right now he's in there, you're out here. You'll never have a better time to consider, you know, you're options." Rex continues.

I cross my arms, annoyed. I swear if I ended up working with her I was gonna strangle her! I don't care whatever her past is about; she knocked me and Rex out! That hurt! A LOT!

A humming noise interrupts her answer as a Providence motorcycle comes into view, the white top pulled over so we can't see the driver. Rex and Cerci quickly let go of each other.

The hood lifts and Bobo get's out. What? When did he even get that?

"What's it about stealing from our won people that's so dang satisfying?" Bobo asks as he throws the keys to Cerci who catches them.

She fiddles with something on the motorcycle. "You forgot to remove the tracker." She opens her fists revealing a tiny white circle with a red flashing dot.

She passes it to Bobo who grumbles. "Eh, funny that…"

"I'm not going to Providence." She announces.

I can't help but let out a sigh of relief, but then stiffen when everyone turns to look at me. "Um…sorry…carry on."

Smooth. Rim. Smooooth.

Cerci glares at me but Rex brings back her attention. "Doesn't matter where you go, all that matters is that you want to go there. That said…"

He turns around and takes a step back, turning once again into the Rex Ride. "I hear Hong Kong is nice this time of year."

Smart, she could stay with his friends there. They could deal with her then. As long as she's far away from me… Bobo jumps on to the back and I sit on the side again, turning so I have an arm around his wasit so I don't slide off. And we zoom off as Rex slides his goggles on.

"And so the tired warrior journeys homeward, crisis averted, world saved, villains vanquished." He exclaims.

I groan "Not this again."

"Pfff, whatever. And what's with you and Cerci?" He asks, glancing back at me.

I look out at the scenery, watching as the rocks go bye. "Nothing, I mean…she did knock me in the head, like, a bunch of times. Excuse me if we aren't the best of friends."

"Sure that's the reason?" Rex asks smugly.

I glare at him. "What are you getting at?"

"Jeaaaalouuuuseee." Bobo sings.

My face goes red. "Oh shut up! Of her? Her hair looks like she dyed it in blood! Or ketchup!"

Rex just smirks. "Awww, shorty's jealous!"

I would have punched him, but I rather not end up in a car crash. Rex crash? Whatever. "I am not!" I yell my voice going high pitched. "Shut up, tyrannosaurus!"

His jaw drops. "Tyrannosaurus?!"

"Yeah." I nod. "Cus your name is Rex, so tyrannosaurus rex! I'll call you that if you don't stop calling me shorty!"

He just grins. "That's an awesome nickname! Yeah, call me that!"

I frown, that wasn't the reaction I was going for. "Well now it's no fun…"

"WATCH THE ROAD!" Bobo suddenly yells, and Rex swerves as we nearly hit a large boulder.

"How about you try to get us home in one piece okay? It would suck to have gone through all that and die on the way back!" I mutter.

Rex laughs. "I got this!"

"Of course you do…"

oOoOo

I remember the first time Rex had told me about the 'evil bunny'. I had thought he was going insane, but when I talked to Noah turns out Rex really had fought some evil bunny EVO that had stalked the two when they went on double dates to the prom so Noah would have a wingman.

I'm not saying that it annoyed me that Rex went on a date with another girl, it happened a long time ago and why should it matter to me who he dates? …Though I couldn't help but wish I had been able to see him in a tux…

ANYWAYS, that wasn't the point. The point was I had been rudely woken up from my nap by Rex's panicked cries as he was attacked by a giant bunny. That's how me, , and Six ended up running around the EVO zoo trying to capture baby EVO bunnies. Also somewhere in the chaos was something about a Bobo robot, I don't know after all that i had been so tired I nearly fell asleep trying to get back to my room.

Just another crazy day at Providence.

oOoOo

"YES!" Rex cheers as the screen on the video game flashes High Score. "Numero Uno baby!"

"Shhhh!" I hush him, looking around embarrassedly at all the people in the fast food restaurant turning to stare.

"Relax! There's no EVO's to fight, no Six looking over my shoulder, and no way this day could possibly get any better." Rex exclaims as we grab a couple of burgers.

There was a blond girl nearby who smiles at Rex, who looks back at her with glee. I sigh, thinking he's going to head over and talk with her, but a little surprisingly he just turns back to me and smiles.

I grin back.

We head out the door of the snack shack, it was dark out. "Oh man Bobo would be so jealous if he knew we sneaked out of this." Rex mutters as we chomp on the burgers. "Good thing my nannies can't talk."

I don't reply, to busy stuffing burger into my mouth. Tacho Tuesday was nice and all but man did I miss fast food!

Rex suddenly stops walking and I bump into him. "Hmf?" I ask, mouth stuffed.

He was staring intently at an alleyway then turns back to me. "If my nannies could talk they would be telling me that's not good."

"Whafts not goof?"

He drops his burger and takes off, I gulp in surprise. "Wha-hey!" I charge after him, cramming the last of the burger into my mouth.

Rex starts calling out and we see a weird shadow suddenly brush by.

"Get back here!" Rex yells, chasing after it.

"Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?! Why are we go towards the creepy thing?" I holler.

The figure leaps up a fire escape to the roof, Rex turns around and spots somebody on a roof. "Brought a friend, huh?"

Four figures materialize behind us, trapping us in.

"Make that friends…big ones. I don't know who you EVO's think you are but you just surrounded the wrong providence agent!" Rex exclaims.

The figurers step into the moonlight, they were human but they looked odd. One was a women with pink hair, another was a old guy, another was just really tall and broad, and this other guy had what looked like bandages wrapped around him?

"Uh…you aren't EVO's." Rex mutters dumbly.

"Oh I hate the clever ones." The women remarks sarcastically before they charge at us.

"What the-?!" I shout as I leap over one of the men's attacks.

Rex sidesteps the bandage man who shoots out the bandages at him, misses, and crashes into the wall. "Ouch."

"Woah, you guys don't fight like humans!" Rex transforms into Smack Hands. "But neither do I!"

He crashes them on to the bigger guy who struggles to push him back. "IV! Let em rip!" He yells.

I see the bandaged guy about to do something and I run towards him trying too…I don't know, something, when the old guy blocks my way. "Nuh uh!"

"Take him out, Trey." The bandages guy says as he shoots the bandages around Rex's smack hands.

The large man tries to use them like a slingshot but Rex knees him in the face with the Punk Busters. Meanwhile I was screaming and running around dodging attacks from the old guy and women.

"Who the hell are you people?!"

"You're worst nightmare." The women smiles and launches herself at me. I flinch but realize she isn't going for me, instead at the last second she turns and smacks Rex in the face with her guitar. Ow.

"Who are you?!" Rex repeats my question, lying on the ground.

"Just tell the blocks at the hospital that five sent you." She smirks and raises her guitar.

I try to run towards them but by then the bandaged guy had wrapped some around my arms and legs to restrain me. "Let go you creepy mummy!" I snarl.

"Rude." He replies looking miffed.

Rex tries to run but the old guy blocks his way, pointing his walking stick at him. He says something in spanish in which Rex replies also in spanish, surprised.

Damn it. I wish I knew spanish,

The old guy whips off the top of his cane revealing that it was actually a hidden sword.

Soon Rex and the man are having a sword fight and the big guy and women try to join in but Rex kept avoiding their attacks, he was good.

The mummy guy uses his free hand to wrap bandages around Rex.

"No!" I cry out as Rex is completely covered, but I hear him angrily roar as he slashes at the cocoon and it explodes making the bandaged man reel back.

I take that chance to get loose and run over to Rex. "Look out!" I cry but too late the old man smacks Rex down on to the ground, he groans in pain.

"Not half bad really." The women remarks.

I crouch down besides Rex protectively, one hand spread out over him as I glare at them as the old man points his cane at me.

"I've seen better moves on a chessboard." The mummy guy scoffs.

"Oh shut it you old carcass!" I retort.

He jerks back in surprise as the women snickers.

"Well I thought he was pretty good ya'll." The big guy comments.

"Si… but is he good enough?" The old man wonders.

"Yes, and that's why we're taking him us." Six of all people comes out of the shadows behind the others.

"SIX?!" Rex and I exclaim, but before we can say anything else, a curse word perhaps… the old guy sticks his cane in our faces again but this time it let's out some sort of gas and I suddenly feel lightheaded.

I choke and collapse on the ground as my head spins, I can hear Rex trying to speak. "Six what are you…" We both go unconscious.
