XD Everyone wants some fluff to go on. Which, it's understandable. I only gave a little dose in the last chap. lol. There is some fluff planned, so don't fret. Btw, we are almost to the mid-point of the fic, so it's not even close to over, yet. There will be fluff, angst, one sided fluff, Circex fluff, a little more angst, and then some more fluff/romance-ness... So... There's the story! I feel like I ruined it or something. XD
Lexii- Omg, you're right, about his dad, I mean. I so hate MOA right now for leaving that epic cliff & making more questions. There won't be a new ep for a while... I wanted to throw something after I watched it. lol
botgal- I can't go into that . it'll ruin the story. But I wanna .. I'll just tell ya in some later chapters lol
Also, you can contract SDRUS by going into severe fan-girl mode with many other fans of the exact same thing, with an awesome story to back it up. OR I could cough on you. But, that would be weird if you told me where you live so I could cough on you... but still! What are total strangers for, huh :D
Alright, I rambled enough.
o0o
Six hit the wall with a grunt.
He's just too fast... and that Damn Smile! Ugh, I have to calm down!
He ducked from another attack aimed for his head. Upon coming back up, he jumped on top of the vines & ran for that smile. Six jumped off of them and slashed for Van Kleiss' face, when vines from the side hit him again. Once again, he dug one katana into the ground to stop himself from flying.
He'd been fighting like this for at least three minutes, and severely losing. Even he couldn't fight Van Kleiss on 'his turf'. Everything was a weapon & Kleiss used it all well.
I'm not fighting to win, just to buy time.
Though, it wasn't exactly a bad thing if Six did manage to take his head off. Besides, Kleiss was starting to weaken... then again, so was he.
He made a run for him again, this time actually dodging the attacks sent at him. Van Kleiss made a mad attempt to stop him, but it was too late. Six got up to his face and, in a flash, cut his head off.
The agent barely had time to take a breath, before the body turned into more vines & slammed him against another wall. They retracted and, as Six staggered foreward, some more came down on him from above. He fell on his stomach and the vines retracted again. One sword landed a foot or two away from him, while the other stayed clutched in his hand.
Oh, yeah. That one hurt.
He managed to lean up on his free arm, when Van Kleiss appeared again, out of the vines.
"The mighty Agent Six," Kleiss said, with a sneer, looking down at Six, "reduced to this for one woman?"
Six looked at him with a piercing glare, but Kleiss continued.
"You can't protect her, that much has already been made clear. Though, I am surprised at the lengths you are willing take for her. You must care about her more than I had originally thought. I can't wait to see your face when you realize she's about to kill you."
Six stood up, pratically growling and gripping the katana he had left with both hands.
"Did I touch a nerve? I didn't know you had one," he asked, mockingly.
Six screamed & lunged for him.
o0o
Alright, she took back what she thought about the 'nice, warm' pain. It still wasn't as bad as Van Kleiss, but Holiday could do without it. Then again, maybe not. She didn't know what the pain was from and that's what got her scared again.
Was the pain from Rex's cure or the Evo breaking out inside? The injured arm had paused in it's transformation, but it didn't go away either, so that wasn't very helpful in detail.
The blue lines went up to her shoulders, but they didn't flicker away anymore and they still glowed a brilliant blue. All the power was making a strong, wild wind around the two of them
She was starting to sweat, when she looked up at Rex's face. His expression was calm and concentrated.
He knows what's going in me, right? Then, is it working or- No. It has to work.
In the other room, she could hear crashes and scratching of metal against rock. She looked worriedly at the destroyed entrance. That was another thing that made her scared. Six was fighting Van Kleiss, in Abysus, alone. Not to mention, the Pack was likely somewhere nearby.
Even if he manages to kill Kleiss, the Pack will just jump in.
She shifted her attention back to Rex, who kept the same expression. If Rex left now, he could still get Six and himself out before anything horrible happened. They already passed the barrirer of 'bad', so now she just praying that it wouldn't get any worse. If they left now, they could still make it.
His eyes, suddenly, snapped open and the blue lines turned to a bright white.
The pain. This one was worse. She closed her eyes & doubled over, not knowing whether she was screaming or not. Holiday could feel the lines burning their way over and through her body. Whether it was the cure or the Evo or whatever, she couldn't care less. All she knew was pain.
The light engulfed the room.
o0o
Kleiss dodged the tip of the blade by about half an inch away from his nose. "Even if you managed to cut me again," he said, still dodging and backing away while smiling, "it wouldn't do any good. You can't hurt me and your death has already been signed."
Six severed a vine, that was about spear through him, and kept running for Kleiss. "I'm sure it'll at least make me feel better," he replied, this time actually managing a nice gash across his enemy's chest.
While Kleiss was still slightly stunned, Six took the opportunity to go ahead and cut him in half. The slice went from his right shoulder to under his left armpit. Instead of changing again, his body quickly healed itself and Kleiss sent another sharp vine after Six. This one connected and slashed at his chest, while he was in mid-dodge backing away.
That didn't help with his mood.
He was cut up and bloody, and Kleiss looked just fine, happy even.
That really didn't help with his mood, at all.
A white light slowly glowed out of the room behind Kleiss. He turned to it, the wonder spreading across his face.
Six looked beyond him at the light.
What's going on? That's never happened before. Is she-
He snapped his eyes back to Kleiss, who was still distracted, and ran for him again.
Without turning around, his vines automatically protected him and hit Six, making him fly again. He landed on one knee, a little further away than he origianlly was.
Kleiss turned his attention back to him, this time somewhat angry, since he didn't know what was going on. He quickly decided to take care of the agent and fix this himself.
Six stood just in time to see just about all the vines in Abysus headed for him. Instead of thinking he was about to die, something else dawned on him.
He was just toying with me? Seriously? Alright, that's it.
His eyes darted around the room, in the small window of time he had, and spotted what he needed. He ran towards the vines, ducking down only long enough to grab his second katana, and jumped into action, by hacking the vines away.
It took about three seconds to get rid of all of them. Six landed on one knee again, this time in front of his enemy. Kleiss broke out of his shock and jumped back, away from the agent. Neither, really noticed that the light had already gone away.
He stood back up, looking at an angry and scarred Van Kleiss. That helped his mood. Slowly, Six took his fighting stance again.
Kleiss was just about to say, or rather scream, something, when a pair of Smack Hands slammed into him, sending him flying against a wall.
"There!," Rex screamed at him, panting, "That's for being creepy!"
"Where's-," Six was cut off, his answer standing behind Rex and leaning against the wall, panting herself.
He did it. She's ok. He really did it.
Holiday gained her composure and glared down Van Kleiss.
He had just managed to get up, only to see his prized project standing there, behind Rex. Six took his place in front of the teen, katanas at the ready. The smirk came back across his face.
Neither Rex or Six had time to stop the white and red flash that ran between them.
"Do you really think-," Kleiss had began, but was cut off by the fist that dug into his face. He was actually knocked back a few inches.
"I knew I could kick your ass," Holiday said, about to punch him again, when Biowulf jumped in. His claws were diving for her, but Six blocked his attack and pushed him off.
Biowulf landed in front of Skalamander and Breach.
Holiday and Six backed off a little, back towards Rex.
Kleiss stood back up, with a slight scowl, wiping away a little bit blood from his bruised lip. "Kill them," he ordered.
Rex still had the Smack Hands out and looked around at the situation. Whatever the situation, it suddenly wasn't nearly as bad anymore. "Good hit," he said, without looking away from the Pack.
"Thanks," she replied, off-handedly.
"Can we toss back compliments later," said Six, back into the sarcasm again. According to him, everything was ok now.
Breach ran at them first, throwing portals around them and disappearing into one.
"Aw man," Rex said, back to whining, looking at all the dimensional portals around them, "doesn't she have any other tricks?"
Six closed his eyes and waited, having gone through this dance a few times. Just like he expected, one of her bigger arms darted for him first. His eyes snapped open and he stabbed her palm. Before, he had almost done that, but wasn't quite sure of what it would really do. At this moment, he didn't really care. It looked to him like a way out. He just hoped he was right.
Breach screamed and the palm of her hand glowed red. The wind picked up around them. Rex sheilded hiimself with his mechanical arms. Six withdrew his sword and grabbed Holiday. The light swallowed the room and, with a blast, disappeared, knocking Breach back a few feet. She held her bleeding arm and looked to where her attacker was.
They were gone.
She screamed an annoyed sound and was about to follow them through a portal, when Kleiss interjected. "No," he said, walking to his Pack, "let them go." He looked at where his project had been and smirked again, "It won't be long, now."
o0o
A resounding blast rang through their ears, and then, it was gone.
Rex slowly let down his make-shift sheild and looked around them.
Sand. Water. Birds... Is this-
"The beach!," he started screaming joyously. A quick look around him told him that Six and Holiday were there, embraced, but were still there, and the Pack or Kleiss were nowhere in sight.
"The beach!," he screamed again, this time running in the water and flopping down belly first, then retracted the Smack Hands.
Six and Holiday looked at Rex, who was flopping around in the water, every now and then screaming something, then laughing hysterically.
She allowed herself a small smile, then looked up at Six and her smile only got wider.
He was actually a little worried about Rex's sanity, but figured it's just been a long day. Six looked down at her smiling face and just couldn't let her go, for the second time that day. Without warning, she wrapped her arms around his neck and started laughing, too.
Ah, what the hell.
He smiled and wrapped his arms more tightly around her, just glad she was there.
Holiday pulled back from him, still smiling, and looked up at his dark eyes. It wasn't everyday that you'd see Agent Six without his shades. Her smile got a little wider and she promptly passed out.
Holy-
"Holiday?," Six said, getting worried again. While he was thankful for a distraction, that wasn't really the one he would have picked.
Her eyes slightly fluttered open, and she rolled her head on to his shoulder. "I'm ok," she whispered, still smiling, "just tired. I'm alright."
He let out a sigh of relief and gently layed her down on the sand. Her eyes were still slightly open and her smile never stopped. "Sleep then," he said, a lot more gently than originally planned.
She let her eyes slowly close.
Rex ran up to shore, still in victory mode. He dropped to his knees and started kissing the sand. Then, he shot up and sputtered the sand out of his mouth. Once he was done hacking, he crashed out on his stomach, already snoring and drooling.
Six couldn't help, but smile.
Then, he started to wonder how the hell they were going to get home.
o0o
The fic is not over! This was pretty much the beginning. O.O Shocker!
