Rex POV

I felt a little disheartened that I couldn't talk to Ben longer, but I'm happy he's ok now. I turned to look at Danny but he was too busy glaring at Alex.

Ever since we meet him in Providence, we all had a hard time trusting him. I walked forward and put my hand on top of Danny's shoulder.

"You gotta chill man, he's helped us multiple times already."

He looked back at me and glared at Alex again.

"I know that he's the one who warned us before we got raided by Providence at your brother's house and at Ben's house, but I can't help but not trust him."

I sighed, I understood how he felt but we are going to have to get over that feeling since we need his help.

"Well, we have to trust him Igris, he's the one who has the most military experience, for now, well maybe not more than Fright Knight but we still need his help."

He begrudgingly nodded his head in understanding. He opened his mouth to tell me something but was cut off by Fright Knight keeling in front of him.

"What's up Fright?"

"There are some people in the throne room who are requesting for your presence, they state it as an urgent matter."

Danny groaned in exasperation, which I understand why this has been happening almost every other hour since we've been here.

"Ok, I'm on my way."

Danny walked into a small adjoining room and changed out of his sweaty clothes into a more formal outfit.

He motioned for me to come with him.

"Come on, I don't feel like dealing with this alone."

I picked up my sheathed sword and put it onto my back I followed him in slight confusion as I have no idea how I'll be able to help him in this situation. I followed him through the halls as we went to the throne room. As I entered the room right behind Danny, I kept my head low and turned to the wall behind the throne out of slight embarrassment.

I kept my head low as I stood next to the throne that Danny was sitting on.

"Ok, now that I'm here. What is your urgent matter that you so desp-."

I looked at Danny as he cut himself off. His mouth was open in amazement. I looked in him in confusion as he stood up.

"No way."

I finally looked at the three beings that were in front of us.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized who they were. Before I could even take a step forward, I was tackled to the ground in a hug.

I felt Dr. Holiday's desperate hug as she wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my chest, soaking it with tears.

"You're still alive. You made it out."

I wrapped my arms around her as I held her closer to me. The persistent memory of her hanging body kept on invading my thoughts.

"Yeah, I was able to escape."

My voice cracked from my tears of joy. She realized that she was completely on top of me and scrambled off me, I sat up and accepted the hand that was helping me up.

Once I stood up and wiped the tears away, I realized that it was six's hand that helped me up. He looked at me up and down.

"You grew."

I realized that I was finally taller than six. I rubbed my neck in slight embarrassment.

"Yeah, I guess I did."

I felt someone jump onto my back and they covered my eyes.

"Ahhhh enough with the emotions, let's go do something."

I laughed as I felt Bobo trying to pull me off balance as he hung onto my back.

"Hey, get off me bobo, it's nice to see you too."

"Yeah yeah, enough with the sob stories, what's is there to do around this joint?"

He jumped off my back and stood in front of Holiday and Six. I heard someone clearing their throat behind me and I turned around to see Danny with a big smile on his face.

"Well now that you guys have been reunited, why don't you guys catch up and you can take a break from training."

Six raised his eyebrow at the word training.

"Training?"

I took the sword off my back and showed it to them.

"Yeah, we've been training with our weapons to learn how to use them properly to defend ourselves. We were sparring together when Fright Knight told us that you wanted to meet with Igris."

They nodded their heads in understanding.

"Who's teaching you?"

"Fright Knight since he also uses a broadsword, so I've been learning pretty fast. Except for Igris here, who doesn't have a teacher?"

"Hey, don't call me out!"

I looked over my shoulder and smiled at him while he sent a halfhearted glare at me.

"What weapon does he use?"

I looked back to six as he stared at me with his usual stoic face.

"He uses a katana."

The fact that six also uses katanas literally punched me in the face when I remembered.

"Maybe you can teach him?"

I looked at six with a pleading look as he thought over it. Without a change of expression, he said.

"I'll think about it."

I raised my hands into the air and whooped in joy. I turned around to Danny who also looks happy.

"I'll finally have a teacher."

We smiled at each other. Danny walked closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Why don't you take your friends to the study while I go do some more training?"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely, now go and catch up with your friend's Neo, you deserve this break."

I smiled widely at Danny, he affectionately rubbed my hair and walked out of the room.

"He seems like a good person."

I looked at holiday and was happy that she approved of my friends. I smiled gently as I remembered everything that he has done for me.

"Yeah, he is, he helped me escape."

"How did you escape anyways?"

Bobo looked suspicious of Danny and kept on staring when Danny had just walked out. I rubbed my neck in embarrassment again.

"I actually don't know, I was unconscious at the time they escaped with me, from what I hear, they carried me with them. I just remember being thrown into my cell and the next thing I know, I was waking up in my brother's house with them at my bedside with Noah and Cesar."

I slapped my face with my hands and motioned for me to follow me.

"Come on, I know where we can go to talk in peace and silence."

With the nod of their heads and bones grunt of approval, they followed me to the study, where we continued to talk well into the night.
