A/N: I LIVE!
Chapter III
Breach
Providence was in a state of emergency as agents ran around checking on things
"Time since we lost contact?" Six asked.
"8 minutes, we're keeping all channels open." Holiday said. "Why weren't you prepared for something like this?"
"We can deal with the whys later. Right now our priority is getting Rex back."
"And you too Agent Six."
"Don't worry about us. Just find Rex."
"Shouldn't be a problem." Holiday said as she pressed her hand to a scanner and the door opened. "We just picked up the last person to see him.
Breach hung several feet of the ground in front of her, her hands cuffed and spread to the side so she could hardly move. She struggled in her binds and screamed in anger.
"You sure that's gonna hold her?" one of the agents asked.
"She still has her powers but with her hands restrained she won't be able to cut open a portal big enough to step through. Just don't touch her."
Meanwhile…
Jacen felt the agent's nose break against his fist. "Where is she!?" he demanded as he back handed another.
Ten agent's surrounded him readying weapons. He grabbed one of the agent's he had already beat and held him like a human shield.
"Hold fire!" the squad leader said.
"I'll take each of you apart piece by piece if I have to. Where? Is? Breach?"
"What is Van Kliess up to Breach?" Holiday demanded. "Where did he have you send Rex?"
"Van Kliess isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want, like now."
"Rex to Providence. Come in."
"Rex! It's good to hear your voice. What's your location?"
"Some kind of messed up private school. I can't see anything outside it's really foggy."
"We have Breach in custody. We'll get her to talk."
"Breach? Oh, that figures. One minuet I'm fighting some EVO monster, next I wake up in the Dollhouse of the Living Dead. Where are Six and Bobo?"
Jacen searched the bodies of the unconscious Providence agents. He found one that was still conscious and picked him up by the throat. "Where. Is. Breach?"
"With Holiday." He rasped before falling unconscious.
"The Badlands? At least they, wait. Normally don't touch these but a textbook here says 'Filmore School'."
"Right, running a search."
"Holiday, if you don't find it under schools try asylums."
"Hundreds of hits. We need more information."
"It's a school, but it's not a school, but it is a school." Breach said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Holiday asked.
"But Rex is to cool for school, and he's no tool. You're the fool."
"Rex we got a problem. Breach isn't cooperating, she's free styling."
"Really? I always saw her more as metal. I'm going outside. I got a student with me."
Jacen walked up to Providence HQ with his katana slung across his shoulders. "Breach." He said as agents came out to stop him. "Out of my way!"
A probe launcher lowered from the ceiling pointing at Breach.
"Ooh, fun!" she said smiling creepily.
"You won't be saying that in a few minutes." Holiday said. "Hang on Rex, we're trying something new."
"Try low, try high little miss smarty skirt. Nothing, you'll get nothing from me."
"This may hurt a bit." Holiday said and shot a probe at Breach. She caught it in a portal.
"That was probe we shot into you Breach. You sent it to Helsinkey."
They shot another at her. "Hm, bottom of the Atlantic. If we do this enough I might see a pattern. If I find a pattern I can find Rex, or, you can just give me something."
"I give nothing, never. I take!"
"Hit her again."
"Doc, there's a flyer for a lost cat her. I'm in Greenville, Ohio."
"Is that? Bring up the Ohio anomaly file!"
"File on screen." One of the agents said.
"No, no, I knew it!" Holiday shouted. "Rex? Rex!"
"I just drove into a big giant nothing. What's with this place?"
"It doesn't exist. Two years ago Greenville vanished. Only thing left was a crater. A day later every resident was found alive and well, in Antwerp. No one found the town itself. You took it didn't you?"
"I need a place for my shiny things."
"Of course, Rex you figured it out!"
"Yeah I know, I'm a genius. Wait, what did I figure out?"
"What Greenville is. It's Breach's personal doll house. You're her newest doll."
"Okay can we at least say 'Action Figure'."
"I'm done playing games. Let's find out where you're hiding this doll house."
They shot three probes into her at once.
"Bottom of the Atlantic, Naples, Shirlanka." One of the agents said.
They shot another one and Breach gasped.
"No reading."
"Doc, one of your probes just showed up."
"No!" Breach said, "I don't want that!"
"And it just un-showed up."
"Where did that probe go? We couldn't see it but Rex could."
"You think I'll tell you know? No, no, never no."
"Keep firing. 10 probes per minute."
Meanwhile in another part of the base…
As Jacen fought his way through Providence troops he thought back to when he first met Breach, two years ago.
Greenville, Ohio
Two year ago...
Briana brushed some of her black hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear, showing her olive eyes. She walked out of Flimore School in her white shirt and red skirt with her two friends.
"You should get your bangs cut." Her friend Ashley said. She had long blonde hair with blue eyes and was tad taller than Briana.
"Yeah, my mom said she'd cut my hair on Friday."
"You should cut it today girl. You're gonna run into something." Her other friend, a black girl named Terry said.
"I'll be fine." Briana said. "Oof!" she said and fell backwards as she bumped into someone.
"Told ya."
"I'm sorry, are you okay." She heard someone say.
She brushed her hair out of her eyes again and looked up. A handsome boy with black hair and violet eyes was crouched in front of her with his hand out stretched.
"Uh…" Briana was having a hard time remembering how to talk.
Terry gave a quick wolf whistle which caused Briana to blush but she took the boy's hand.
"No I'm sorry, I should have been watching where I was going. I'm Briana."
"Jacen."
"Well… I'll see you later Jacen."
Briana and Jacen spent the next week hanging out after she got out of school. Briana had a few friends and now a boyfriend, everything was perfect. Then it came crashing down.
Briana walked out of school with her friends and Jacen was waiting for them.
"Hi Jacen." She said with a giddy look on her face.
Suddenly she gasped and fell to her knees.
"Briana whats wrong?" he asked kneeling nest to her.
"Girl are you okay?" Terry asked.
"Whats wrong?" Ashley asked.
"Somethings wrong. I feel… strange." Suddenly she cried out in pain as her forearms grew longer and thicker and a new pair of arms sprouted below her original pair.
The courtyard fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at her and soon started whispering. Then, "She's an EVO! Some kind of freak!" someone shouted. Jacen stood in front of her protectively.
Briana stared at her mutated and new arms in shock and heard what they were saying as everyone started shouting. "Freak!" "EVO!" "Monster!"
No, she thought. Stop… but they didn't and she felt her psyche break. She screamed and she kept screaming until Greenville vanished off the map.
She sent everyone except Jacen away and hid in what used to be her house.
"Hey," Jacen said as he found her. "It's okay."
"Go away." She said softly. "You're not real. And I'm a freak."
"I am real and," he said and shrugged off his coat and spread his wings. "You're not a freak."
She looked up and him and threw herself into his arms.
He brushed aside her hair and looked in her olive eyes. "You're beautiful." He said to her. He later took her to Abysus where she became Breach.
Present day…
I'm promised to take of her! Jacen thought as he fought his way through the troopers. You won't stop me!
"Change your mind yet?" Holiday asked.
"Keep going, I don't care. I'll just get rid of them like all the things I don't like. I don't like these anymore." She said and a portal opened in front of her and three EVOs with an eye on one shoulder and leg flew out. The other agents in the room drew their guns as the EVOs roared.
"Stand down!" Holiday commanded before the EVOs charged her. She easily side stepped and pressed a button that opened the floor beneath them. Then she focused on Breach again.
"If getting Rex back means I have to tear you apart molecule by molecule fine! Prep the next set of probes, 12 per minute."
"I'd really like to get out of her doc."
"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you Rex. We've just had a little delay. She coughed up a few EVOs a second ago."
"Retractable fangs. Breath almost as bad as Bobo's."
"How'd you know?"
"Fought something like that just a second ago. I think you might be getting Breach's rejects."
"She said she didn't want them anymore."
A few seconds later Breach suddenly said, "Stop it."
"Rex, what did you just do?"
"Mowed down some mopeds. I'm feeling a lot better now."
"Do it again!"
A few seconds later Breach screamed. "I had those just the way I wanted them!"
"Gone."
"How can she see that?" Holiday wondered.
"Maybe when she sucked up Greenville she never spite it back out."
"A separate dimension only she can access. You have him don't you?"
"He's my new favorite. Shiny, shiny."
"Did you hear that?"
"Sweet. I always wanted to be some psycho girl's favorite toy."
The hallway was littered with Providence troops. He picked up one who was still conscious. "Tell me how to find Breach before I rip your spine out through you throat!"
"Down that hallway! Third door! It's locked by a palm scanner."
"Thanks." He said and knocked him out.
"Doc, I think I just found Breach's interior decorator."
"Rex can stack things too. And he's shiny and new. You're the one who's old. I'm tired of old." Breach said.
"Rex what's going on?" Holiday asked.
"I think I'm being promoted to BFF. And let's just say this little girl isn't made of sugar or spice. I'm gonna cure her!"
"Recalibrate the probes. We can try to use them to force a portal open and pull Rex out."
Suddenly Breach started reacting again. "Stop breaking my things!"
"Rex, whatever you're doing in there, keep it up." Holiday said.
"NO!" Breach shouted.
"I can do this all day Breach. Do you hear me?"
"Aaah! You messing up everything!"
"That place, your things, they make you feel safe don't they? Like a home." Holiday concluded.
"You don't know anything."
"I know you can't have it all Breach. If you want this to stop it's easy. Let Rex go!"
"NO! He's mine now. My new favorite."
Suddenly the door to the room was pried open and Jacen ran in. "Breach!"
"No. NO! Making a mess. I can't have them mess everything clean! Nice and clean. All my pretty things. Everything's out of place!"
"You can end this breach. Just let Rex go!"
Breach screamed again and beams of red light shot from her eyes and mouth.
"Rex, somethings happening."
"Uh, yeah. Doc, I think I see a way out. At least it better be."
Rex came flying out of a portal into the control room with a blond girl in his arms.
More beams of light started to come off of Breach's body.
"Breach stop! It's over!"
Jacen flew to Breach and took her in his arms. "Breach! I've got you!"
"My only place. It would have been perfect." Breach said as she began to break apart, before she imploded.
For a few seconds they stared at the spot where she and Jacen disappeared. Then Holiday hugged Rex.
"I should get kidnapped more often."
Later…
Rex and Bobo where comparing their day while Six spoke to Holiday.
"Dead?" he asked.
"Hard to say. That world was the only thing holding her together. People can be a lot more fragile then we think."
"She had a lot of things. But things can't make up for people." Rex said.
"And Jacen?" Six asked.
"No trace of him. He was holding on to her so I can't say if he's alive or not." Holiday said before her phone beeped.
"Uh guys, I just got this from a private number look." She said and handed Six her phone. Rex looked over his shoulder.
The text read: Hurt Breach again and I'll level Providence.
Jacen Kliess.
"Well that's ominous." Rex said.
Abyssus
Van Kliess's catsle…
Jacen wrapped breach in a blanket and lied her down gently.
"How is she?" Van Kliess asked.
"Fragile at the moment. The destruction of one of her own dimensions is dangerous. It could have killed her. She'll be comatose for a least a month. She needs time to recover."
"Then make sure she recovers."
"Yes father."
