Lina Trinch: Oh, I'm terrible at using plot lines. I always change my mind. I just kinda write as ideas come to me. Your story is long…well, it's good long, but it's just really, really long. MoA ordered two more seasons! That's awesome! They'll probably use the data rod later…or maybe Rex lost it or something. *shrugs* he would find a way to lose something most likely locked in White's room.
TiGeRIIIY99: Then they should really have brought that data rod back into the picture. That data rod could prove to be a very good episode plot if MoA executed it right. I'm glad you like my OC, and I agree about White being a douche :D

It's just going to be at the end. I'm too lazy and tired to write it right now. But GR © MoA
"Alarm clock…I will kill you one of these days." Yin said as she heard her alarm clock blaring. "I don't sleep…then when I do actually sleep, this stupid thing wakes me up. I just can't win with you, can I?" She pointed a finger accusingly at the alarm clock.
The girl realized what she was doing and started cracking up. "Listen to me!" She said while in hysterics, "I'm having a conversation with a clock…being employed under White's officially driving me crazy." The girl pulled a stiletto out of her dresser drawer and stabbed the alarm clock right down the middle. The dagger was sticking straight out of the top of the clock. The girl laughed and walked to her closet to get dressed.
After getting dressed, Yin glanced over at her clock to see what time it was. "Oh right…I stabbed it." The girl picked up her phone and looked at the screen. It was only 4 Am. Six didn't start training Rex until 6 Am, so she had two hours to kill. Yin contemplated what to do for two hours for a few minutes, before deciding to go to Holiday's lab. She wanted to run some experiments, whether or not White permitted them.
The hallways were bare and no troops or employees were anywhere to be seen. Most of the Evos in the petting zoo were asleep, and the ones that were still awake were most likely nocturnal.
There was one person other than Yin awake at this time; Holiday. As Yin walked into the lab, she saw the doctor staring deeply into a computer screen covered in binary. Her elbows were on the table, and her hair was a mess. Yin couldn't see her eyes, but she guessed by the rest of the doctor's appearance that they were bloodshot and red.
"Warning, warning, communication terminated. Immediate repair required…what does that mean?" Yin asked while she walked up to the doctor.
"What?" A confused and exhausted Holiday replied.
"The binary. That's what it says." Yin said.
The doctor stood up and hugged Yin, which made the goth girl's eyes widen in shock. "You read binary!" The doctor said while throwing her hands up in the air. "You read binary!"
"Um…yes…?" Yin said while glancing confusedly at the doctor.
"What does the rest say?" The doctor recomposed herself and sat back down at her desk. "I've been trying to figure this out for a day."
"Let me see…" Yin glanced over at the screen. "It says: Warning, warning, communication terminated. Immediate repair required to prevent shutdown. Shutdown will not save progress." Once she was done reading, she turned her attention back to the doctor. "Holiday, what is this?"
"Rex's nanite readings." The doctor replied.
"They're…mini computers. Incredible." Yin said.
"You catch on fast." The doctor commented.
"Wait; shutdown won't save progress…Rex is going to black out, isn't he?"
"Yin, how did you know about Rex's amnesia and previous black outs?" Holiday questioned.
"Psychic." Yin said while tapping the side of her head.
"That comes with the rest of your powers?" Holiday asked.
"Yes. Now, judging by that binary; we need to get Rex in here now." Yin sternly said.
"I'll get Six to bring him in." Holiday said. Yin nodded and returned to looking at the computer screen.
Outside the Lab
"Six! Six!" Holiday yelled while running down the hall towards Six's door. She was running at top speed, pushing the few troops in her way out of her way. There weren't many troops, because it was still early in the morning.
When Holiday finally reached Six's door, she began pounding on it to wake Six. Moments later, the agent arrived at the door and opened it. "Doctor?" Six said. He glanced over at his clock. "Why are you here? It's 5 Am."
"Yin decoded the binary. We need Rex. Now!" Holiday practically yelled. Six raised an eyebrow at her. "I'll explain later. Just get Rex, and meet me in the lab."
The agent nodded and then closed his door. He grabbed his green jacket and put it on, then pocketed his katanas. When Six opened the door, he saw that Holiday was already halfway down the hall.
He ran to Rex's room and typed in the door lock code. The door opened and the agent ran to Rex's bed. Not having enough time to wake the boy, Six just grabbed the teen and ran out of the door towards Holiday's lab.
Back in the Lab
"Where is he?" Holiday asked herself while frantically pacing.
"He'll get here when he gets here." Yin said, trying to keep Holiday calm. The door to the lab flew open, along with the green clad agent carrying a half-asleep Rex in with him.
"Put him in the scanner." Holiday commanded.
Six placed the teen in the scanner and in a few minutes, the computer screen showed images of his nanites, and some nanite readings. "So what's wrong with him?" Six asked.
"The binary on the computer screen. It says that Rex's body is going to go into shutdown unless immediate repair. It also says that if he shuts down, progress will not be saved. Basically, Rex might black out and forget everything." Yin explained.
"What!" Rex yelled while standing up. The boy had overheard Yin and Six's conversation. "I'm going to black out again!"
"Maybe not." Holiday said. She pointed to the computer screen and began explaining. "There's something irregular in a few of your nanites…mutations maybe. If we do nothing to fix it; you'll most likely black out. If we can fix it; you'll be fine."
Rex bit his lip and started shaking his head back and forth. "I can't black out again. I just can't! I don't remember anything from the last times I've blacked out, and I don't want to forget anything else!"
"Rex, it'll be okay." Six began explaining. "You have two experts who will be able to operate on you." The agent said, referring to Holiday and Yin.
The boy slowly nodded. He looked back and forth between Yin and Holiday, then took a few deep breaths to try calming down. Rex knew that Holiday would be able to fix him. He wasn't sure about Yin because he hadn't known her for that long, but he knew that she was skilled and could most likely help him too.
"Okay. So…what are you going to do?" Rex asked. His voice held an element of fear. He saw Yin's features soften after his comment. She obviously sensed the fear in Rex's voice.
"Rex," She placed a hand on his shoulder, "We're going to remove the corrupt nanites from your system." Yin said. Holiday nodded, showing that she agreed with Yin's method.
"How?" Rex asked.
"Have you ever dissected something?" Six asked Rex. The boy nodded. "Well that's what these two are going to be doing. Only, you're going to be the specimen."
The boy gulped, but then nodded. He was afraid, so for once in his life; he didn't really have anything to say. Six noticed and walked over to the boy. The agent placed a hand on his shoulder. Rex looked Six in the eyes-er, sunglasses, and saw that the agent was sincere. He was trying to cope Rex through his fear. It was a nice notion that Rex would never have expected from his green clad ninja nanny. The boy looked up at his nanny and his face developed a small smile.
"Rex, take your shirt off and lay down." Holiday said. The boy took off his shirt and laid on the ground. Holiday face-palmed. "I meant on the hospital bed."
"Oh…" Rex walked over to the hospital-like bed, climbed onto it, and then laid down. The doctor placed a mask over the boy's mouth, and before Rex knew it; he was asleep.
"So, what now?" Six asked. He wasn't exactly familiar with the process of surgery. He had only ever been operated on; he had never operated on another.
Holiday and Yin glanced over at each other. Neither of them had planned to have Six help operate on Rex. Neither of them wanted to make him just stand around doing nothing while he was concerned, though. "You can monitor his readings." Yin said, trying to come up with an easy job for the agent. "If anything seams irregular, just tell us. We'll probably be too busy performing surgery to watch the readings."
Six raised an eyebrow, but nodded and walked over to the monitor. The agent didn't know much about operating, but he knew enough to know that the monitor makes noise. Yin and Holiday could just hear if something was wrong; he didn't need to watch the monitor to tell them. Six just pulled over a chair and took a seat next to the monitor, though. He had the chair turned towards the operating table, so he could see what was going on.
Holiday injected a tube into Rex's arm, which led to a metal rack supporting a small bag filled with some sort of anesthetic. Yin then took a scalpel off of the table, and carefully cut an incision in Rex's chest. The incision was close to the boy's heart, so Yin had to be extremely accurate to keep from accidentally killing the boy. Thankfully, she was skilled enough to be able to cut the incision without killing him.
Six watched in fascination as the two inserted a strange device into the incision. They left it in there for about ten minutes before taking it out. Yin walked over to Six to fill him in on what was going on. She held up the device, which looked similar to a strainer. "Six, this is a type of filter which was developed a few years ago. It can filter things on a microscopic level. We used it to trap the mutated nanites and get them out of Rex's system."
The girl walked away and placed the strainer-like object under a microscope. She looked into the device and adjusted the lens. Then the girl walked over to Holiday and got her to come over and look into the microscope. "This is fantastic." Holiday yelled. "We got the nanites out."
Yin and Six just nodded and smiled. They were both overjoyed that Rex was alright, but neither of them had a tendency to show much, if any, emotion. "How many CCs of knockout gas did you give him?" Yin asked.
"Five." Holiday said.
"Okay, then he's going to be out for a few more hours…what do we do in the meantime?" Yin asked.
"Have Rex-free time." Six said while walking out the door. Holiday and Yin just laughed at the agent. They raised an eyebrow at each other, both agreeing that Six was right about the Rex-free time. The boy could be a handful after all…

Okay, this chapter was pretty short, but I've been busy with midterms and just wanted to get this posted before I leave on winter break. I'm going to Florida, so I probably won't post anything while I'm there. I'm leaving tomorrow right after school, so unless I get a WiFi connection and some free time; I'm not going to be able to post another chapter for at least two weeks D:
