I have decided that Six and Holiday will be a full on pairing instead of just slight pairing because I realized that at the rate I'm going, they're bound to be together so good news on that part. Anyways, here's chapter 2 and the first POV (Point Of View) of the story.
Elise
The night went by quickly. Probably because the moment my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. When I woke up the next morning I felt like a big piece of crap, then again I always feel like that when I wake up. I went to the bathroom and went through my cosmetics bag. I really don't wear a lot of makeup. Just powder, blush, lip gloss and eye shadow. True I do have eye liner, glitter and lipstick but I only wear that for special occasions. I found a bar of soap in the bathroom, which I still had to put everything in its correct place because that's just my OCD, and took a quick shower, trying my best not to yet my hair. Afterwards I brushed my teeth, hair, got dressed and walked in the direction Holiday told me yesterday to get to the lab. I passed by the kitchen on my way there but I continued walking, not much of a breakfast person. I reached the lab and there was Holiday already working on her computer. "Hello Holiday."
She turned and cast a smile at me. "Hello Elise. You're up early."
"I usually get up early. Chores start early back home."
"Must be strict parents."
"Not really. If you get the chores done early you have the rest of the day practically to yourself." She nodded and went back to her work. I leaned in and look at the computer screen. "Whose nanites are these? They're completely different from what I have seen before."
"They're Rex's."
I look at her and then turned my head back to the screen. "They are amazing. They actually absorb what I would call the uncontrollable nanites and pretty much destroys them."
"He's a magnificent Evo. Though every time I try to tell Six that he's more than just a weapon or a tool he just seems to not listen to me."
"So I guess that's why you're mad at him?" I inquired.
"Why would you say that I'm mad at him?"
"You introduced him yesterday with such scorn."
She shrugged. "True I was mad at him but I'm ok now."
"Ah." I stare at the looped recording of Rex's nanites for a while. "Do you mind if you send a copy of this to my computer?"
"Uh… Sure."
"Thanks." I straightened. "So what have you tried for the cure?"
"Nothing that works." She said with a sigh.
"Well do you base your information on the nanites themselves or what?"
"The nanites."
"Oh. I base my work on the blood."
"The blood?" She looked at me, a puzzled look on her face.
"Well yeah. The nanites thrive in the whole body but I have found that the blood is the more concentrated areas of nanites. What I believe is that the nanites divide there and then move on to the body."
"Divide? Like cells?"
"Yes. My theory is that the nanites divide and then the old ones die but when the old ones don't die, those nanites become uncontrollable and start to mutate the body like a bad sequence in a DNA strand. Something is bound t change."
Holiday looked at the computer screen and then back up at me. "That… That actually makes sense." She started to type quickly on the computer. "I mean they are in our body they are bound to act like organisms in our bodies."
I nodded. "My little sister, Amelle, was born after the explosion but she was still affected by the explosion. That's how I came across my theory. It's a mutation that passes down along the generations."
"Yes." Holiday tapped her chin. "That's pretty good." She started to type the information down and I smiled. This is why I came to Providence, the hope I have to heal the world.
Six came charged in then. "Holiday, Elise. We've got a problem."
"Evo?" Holiday asked.
"Bingo."
Holiday pressed a button and spoke into a microphone. "Rex, wake up. We've got an Evo." She released the button and turned the chair to look at Six. "I'll keep an eye out."Six nodded at her.
"Hey!" I yelled out before he could walk away. "Could I tag along?" Six looked at Holiday and I saw her nod at the corner of my eye. He then relayed that nod towards me and I smiled again. "Cool."
Regular
Meanwhile Rex stumbled out of bed with a serious of groans and curses. "Wake up chimp!" He yelled at Bobo as he ran a comb through his hair.
"Yeah yeah." Bobo grumbled as he tossed himself off his bed. The two ran out of the door and nearly ran into Noah. "Kid, what are you doing here so early? Is it Elise?"
Noah scoffed, repeatedly. "No." He cleared his throat.
"Look we don't have time; we have an Evo on the loose." Rex said as he started to run down the halls. They reached the helicopter just in time for Six was getting on the copter. Rex jumped in as did Bobo and Noah. "Hey Six." He greeted. Then he saw Elise. "What are you doing here?" The copter lifted up from the ground.
"Going?" She sarcastically asked.
"Hey Elise." Noah said as he waved to her.
"Hello Noah, Bobo." She smiled at them.
"What about me?" Rex asked.
Elise's eyes narrowed. "You gave some hell of a greeting, why should I give you one back?"
Bobo laughed. "Oh that was good."
"All of you quiet." Six called. They shut up and started to look out from the plane. Moments later Six spoke again. "Target at 9 o'clock."
Rex, who was sitting in the corner looked out and saw the Evo. It looked like a giant octopus but with thousands of eyes and mouths at the end of each arm. Rex chuckled. "Right." He lowered down his goggles. "See you guys there." He jumped out of the plane and whooped as he fell through the sky.
Elise looked out of the plane. "Does he always do that?"
"Almost every day." Six replied.
Elise shook her head softly. Rex on the other hand smiled and turned himself around so that his feet face the floor. He changed his feet then into the Punk Busters and fell faster then. He landed square on the Evo which roared and fell back. Rex jumped off it and landed on the street, causing a good sized crater. "Huh. That was easy." Then a large arm came across and hit him. Rex flew and busted through a wall. Rex climbed out; his Punk Busters already reverted back. "Well, that was rude."
Meanwhile the plane landed a safe distance away from the fight. The four jumped out of the plane and watched the fight for a while. Elise cracked her knuckles. "What are my orders Six?"
"Buy Rex enough tie so he can heal it if not, kill it."
Noah turned to face Six. "Are you sure about that? I mean no offence to you Elise but you may have cool gymnastic—," he turned and his eyes started to widen, "—skills…"
Elise cracked her neck and stretched her arms before her as Noah talked. Now her spine grew and her hips practically disappeared. Her legs morphed to horse front legs as her long spine change into a horse's body. Then light grey scales came down from the top of her horse back and went down and around her body and on her horse legs just before they hit the knee. The hind legs formed and a tail sprouted. Her clothes even altered as her tank top started to shrink in length, showing her stomach. Her belt at her side stayed the same but a leather pouch holding 4 daggers formed as well as a sword handle that was tied to her belt and a diamond shape on the belt, all were a dark grey except for the brown leather pouch. Elise extended her left arm, her palm open. A bow formed in her hands, it too also dark grey. It curved at the top and almost looked like a dragon. Her hand closed around it and then she reared and made a sound that was a mix between a neigh and a 'yeah'. Elise trampled in place before rushing out. It looked as if she flew on the streets by the speed she was going. Elise then took her right hand and touched the arrow rest with two fingers. Then she pulled back and a blue arrow formed as she pulled her fingers back. She curled the two fingers around the bow string as she climbed up onto a turned over car. She jumped then and aimed the arrow at the octopus. Releasing it the arrow flew and hit the Evo. The Evo screeched as electricity crackled through its body.
Rex who was being held by his feet was released and came falling towards the ground. Elise landed on her hooves and positioned herself under Rex. He crashed landed on her back. "Oomph!" He groaned and looked up. "Elise? Is that you?"
"Who'd you expect? Rudolf the red nosed reindeer?" She shot back at him.
"Ha, ha. Funny." He answered back sarcastically. He slipped of her back. "Other than that, cool." He said talking about her Evo form.
"Oh thanks." She said happily. Then she pushed him out of the way and jumped up. A tentacle crashed into the ground. She landed on the arm which then moved up. "Ahh!" She screamed as she was tossed on the ground. "Well that was rude."
Rex stood next to her. "That's what I said." He then formed his arm into the Slam Cannon. The cannon reached down and pulled a piece of concrete out. Rex then shot it at the octopus. Elise stood and ran around behind the Evo. She pulled another arrow back, this time the color was red. She released the arrow and it hit an eye. The Evo screeched again as the eye literally blew up. "That was awesome." She heard Rex say as she pulled back another arrow. She then canceled that as she ran from an arm. Another concrete ball hit the Evo.
"Listen Rex. This isn't working!" Elise yelled. "I'll distract and weaken him, you try to heal it."
"Damn. You sound like Six."
"Do it!" She pulled back another red arrow and shot it. Rex grumbled to himself but he listened to her as he switched out his Slam Cannon for the Boogie Pack. He flew up and circled the Evo's head. The thousands of eyes watched him. Elise sighed and she opened the palm of her hand and the bow dissipated. She then untied the sword handle. She extended it outwards and the dark grey blade came out. She charged at the Evo and cut off part of an arm.
Meanwhile Six, Noah and Bobo watched the fight. "Shouldn't we help?" Bobo asked as he scratched his head.
"No." Six answered unemotionally. "Let's see what Elise can truly do." From far away the Evo yelled as its arm got cut off.
"Good." Noah said. "Because I'm too amazed to do anything."
Bobo chuckled. "Oh really Noah?"
Noah groaned and glared at Bobo. "You just don't know when to stop do you?"
The simian chuckled again. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I do know you've got it bad for Miss Half-horse over there."
"Shut up!"
Six sighed. Suddenly Holiday's voice came through a microphone in his ears. "Six. This is amazing. Her biometrics and nanites are exquisite."
"Hm." Six stared out to the fight. "You should see this here Holiday. She fights like a warrior." She didn't reply. Six mentally sighed again. He looked down at the ground and when he looked up again the Evo was healed and Rex and now human Elise came walking down.
"That was awesome!" Noah yelled. "Elise, you're Evo form is so freaking amazing!"
"Totally." Bobo added.
She giggled. "Thanks."
"All right." Six said. "We've got it done, let's get back to Providence."
"All right." The others said as they all went onto the plane.
Please review.
