Did you know this title was based on a 1985 movie Enemy Mine staring Dennis Quaid and an unrecognizable Louis Gosset, Jr? And if you have no idea who these people are, then yeah, I know, I'm old…
X: Thanks for your review. I'm glad the tension is letting up too.
Alena098: Спасибо.
I do not own.
Enemies Mine
"Six? Come in! Are you there?"
"Six, here. Holiday, what's going on? Rex disappeared after we split up."
"Rex was ambushed by No Face, Hunter Cain, Valve, and Gatlock."
"What?"
"And on top of that Rex's nanites need to be off loaded. I told him to rendezvous with me at the designated off-loading site after he loses the chain gang."
"Stay where you are. I'm coming!"
"Six, you can't. The EVO collars are turning off all over the place. Providence is nowhere to be found. You and Bobo need to take care of the emergencies."
"But…"
"No we'll be okay. Rex will be fine in an hour. Just take care of the rampaging EVOs."
"Fine, but if anything happens…"
"Don't worry. You'll be the first to know."
"Then Six, out."
"Wait, Six?"
"Yes?"
"Be careful…"
"You too."
…
…
"Holiday? Are you there? What happened?"
"Six? Are you okay?"
"Me? What about you and Rex?"
"We're fine."
"Where's Cain, No Face, and the rest of them?"
"We had a breach. They put a tracker on Rex…"
"So they traced you to the base?"
"It's okay. We knew about it. I devised a way for Rex to off load in thirty minutes instead of an hour. They came after he left the chamber."
"So Rex took care of them?"
"They're trapped behind the emergency force shield, you know the one that we had installed in case… well, in case the nanite off-load goes wrong."
"Yes, yes, I know what shield you are talking about."
"It was a gamble. I wasn't sure if there was enough power but the shields held. You and Bobo need to get over here right away to help us cart them away."
"Don't know where the monkey went. But I'll be there in 10."
"It's been a nightmare of a day."
"Why did the EVO collars turn off?"
"Rex just asked the same thing. I heard from White. It looks like it was done deliberately by Providence."
"For what?"
"Think about it, Six. Why do you think Black Knight would want all of us busy putting out fires."
"You mean…"
"Yes, she managed to get her hands on a meta-nanite before we could."
"We still have three."
"I know. But you know this means she'll be coming after us for them."
"She still doesn't know where the fifth one is."
"But neither do we."
"Then we keep looking, Holiday. And keep it out of her hands."
"Sounds good to me."
"What's Rex doing?"
"He's keeping an eye on the prisoners. Like I said I don't know how much power those shields have."
"Are we transporting them back to our base?"
"Yes, to get some use out of those containment units we set up. But, Six?"
"Yes?"
"I think we need to drop No Face back into the Bug Jar."
"Bug Jar? Why?"
"Well, since the place is now devoid of all EVOs after Alpha drained all the nanites, No Face can't do any harm. It will also lessen the containment units we need."
"Do the shields even work?"
"Somewhat… they don't reach as high or as low as it use to, but without his EVO army he won't have any means of escape. He can't fly and it would take him a lifetime to dig under."
"If you think so."
"We should also drop Valve off at the nearest police station. He's not much of a threat without his bike."
"That I agree. Can we also drop Cain off the nearest cliff?"
"Six!"
"I read his file. He won't be missed."
"Although I dislike him as much as the next person…"
"I doubt it."
"Oh, believe me, if there is one person that I could justify homicide, it would be that bigoted, self-righteous EVO hunter. Nonetheless, that's not for me to decide."
"I'm here. I'll see you in a minute."
"Great. Let's get this day over with."
"I'm with you. Six out."
Okay, so here I'm trying to explain how No Face showed up in the Bug Jar after the Cure Event. Because… how else does it make any sense? I mean if he was incarcerated at the dam and when Black Knight attacked he could have escaped but why would he travel all the way back to the Bug Jar which was his original prison? So I came up with this. Hope it was a plausible explanation.
