I do not own Generator Rex or any of the characters.


Return

Rex kept his face as calm as he could despite Holiday screaming in rage, White ranting about bad judgment, and Six trying to get their attention.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Rex finally snapped making everyone go silent. "Thank you. Now, I believe Six has something to say."

"Thank you Rex," Six said. "I think that Rex knows what he wants and what's best for him better than we do. I also think that Holiday's plan is the worst I've ever heard."

"Well excuse me for not trusting her," Holiday said. "I still say we should just fry her."

"And I still say that if you touch her I'll fry you," Rex said.

"Rex," White said sternly. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"

"Yes," Rex said. "I acted more like a human than ever before. Sue me."

"You've risked the-"

"DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE!?" Rex shouted. "I've had more than enough of this. I'm leaving."

"Rex wait!" White said but before he was even finished his sentence, Breach had teleported both of them away.

They were on a cliff next staring out to see. In whatever part of the world it was, it was sunset and Rex couldn't help but grin.

"It's beautiful," Rex said sitting down.

"Yes it is," Breach said sitting beside him.

They sat in silence watching the sun sink below the horizon. Rex was just about to say something when the sun sank below sending a flash of light into the sky. The light then fell into the sea and sank until it disappeared. Rex stood and helped Breach up then gave her one order; run.

"What is it?" Breach asked.

"It's a portal," Rex said. "Run. Don't look back, don't try to help me, just run."

Breach nodded and turned to run just as an EVO that looked like it was made out of dark flames with lighter ones forming the general shape of a skeleton inside.

"Alpha," Rex said.

"Hello again Rex," Alpha said. "It's time I reclaimed my brother."

"Sorry," Rex said. "He and I are still attached."

"I succeeded once, I will again," Alpha said. "Hello Breach. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to have to have those Nanites of yours."

"Don't even think about it," Rex said stepping between them. "You're going back Alpha."

"I'll just break out again," Alpha said. "I've absorbed all of the Nanites in the Null Void. Father dumped a lot there."

"They're probably defective," Rex said. "Either way it doesn't matter. I'll tear you apart this time."

Alpha laughed strolling calmly toward him and Breach. Rex created his Slam Cannon and blasted Alpha with a chunk of stone before using the cannon to launch Breach out to sea where it was safe. She would be a bit sore from the landing and angry at him for shooting her but she would live.

Alpha grabbed Rex by the throat just as he turned back toward him and Rex's Slam Cannon instantly fell apart. Rex felt Alpha beginning to drain all of his Nanites and fought to hold onto them but Alpha was stronger and the most he could do was slow the process down.

Alpha pulled harder and searing pain erupted through Rex's body from the spot Alpha's hand touched his skin. Rex created his BFS out of desperation and swung at Alpha but the sword passed through him then fell apart, all of the Nanites in it having been absorbed drastically reducing Rex's Nanite count. Rex groaned pulling as hard as he could managed but he was already below half his normal amount and was beyond half dead. Just then, Breach stepped out of a portal grabbing Alpha and pulling him off of Rex. Then she opened another portal and threw Alpha through it.

Then she collapsed panting hard and barely able to stay on her hands and knees. Rex was on the ground barely conscious and barely aware. Breach pushed herself up walking over to Rex and falling to her knees again. Alpha had absorbed half her Nanites within three seconds and she was barely awake. She pulled him closer to her, barely having the strength to move him. He tried to push himself up but the effort was too much and he collapsed finally unconscious.

Breach opened a portal under them and a moment later they were both back in the ops center of Providence HQ. Holiday instantly took Rex to Medical and Six helped Breach there. They were both put into a medically induced coma and seconds later they were in an actual coma.

"What just happened?" Six asked.

"They slipped into a coma," Holiday said.

"Slipped in or you gave them too much?" Six asked. "You didn't seem very happy about their relationship."

"You think I'd use that as an excuse to put them in a coma?" Holiday asked. "I would never do that!"

"And if I'm not sure?" Six asked.

"You don't trust me?" Holiday asked.

"I don't know," Six said.

Holiday glared at him then turned and stormed out. The other doctors finished checking Rex and Breach then left leaving Six alone with them. Six felt bad for not trusting Holiday but it just seemed to suspicious that both went into a coma at the same time. His every instinct told him that Holiday had done it but something else was telling him she was innocent because he kept having a feeling he knew exactly who was responsible and wasn't happy about it.

"Wake up Rex," Six said. "We'll need you if the other part is right."

Rex was sitting on the cliff from before but this time something was different. This time he could have sworn he had forgotten something and was supposed to be somewhere.

"Stay," Breach said sitting beside him. "We can live our lives happily together here."

"I...don't think I should," Rex said standing and backing away from the edge.

"Where are you going?" Breach asked.

"There's something I have to do," Rex said. "I just...need to remember."

"Why?" Breach asked standing and walking toward him slowly hands moving to the buttons of her shirt. "You can stay here with me. I know you want to."

Rex turned and flew away with his Boogie Pack heading for Providence HQ. Suddenly he was crouching on a roof in Tokyo. Cricket and Tuck were both with him.

"Remember," Rex found himself saying. "When Skwydd gives the signal, get in there and take down the resistance. Then, I'll come in after you and we'll trash this place and we'll finally be free of Quarry."

Tuck and Cricket nodded just as Skwydd stuck his head out of a door and waved. Cricket and Tuck sprinted forward and Rex was about to follow when he was again on the cliff but this time in Alpha's grip.

"This time, no one will save you," Alpha said. "The bitch is dead and the Omega Nanite is all mine."

Rex's eyes flew open to see Alpha kneeling over him hands wrapped tightly around Rex's neck draining even more Nanites. Rex kicked him off just as a red portal swallowed him and Breach stood beside him.

"I hate that guy," Breach said.

"The feeling's mutual," Alpha said stepping out of a portal even redder than Breach's exactly where he had been. "I thought you were dead bitch."

"Sorry to disappoint," Breach said. "My powers?"

"Lots of surprises," Alpha said.

Then he was between Breach and Rex with a hand on each of their heads. Breach screamed in pain as Alpha began absorbing what few Nanites she had left and Rex reacted out of instinct. He began to funnel his Nanites directly through Alpha into Breach keeping her alive and pulling Nanites out of Alpha at the same time. Alpha suddenly leapt away clutching his head and retreated through a portal.

"What happened?" Rex asked.

Breach stumbled and fell forward and he caught her. He carefully lay her on her bed and she smiled weakly.

"You saved me again," Breach said. "At this rate, I'll have to be your slave to repay you."

"You don't owe me anything," Rex said smiling.

Breach drifted off to sleep and Rex sighed. Then he sat on his own bed and leaned against the wall trying to sleep.
