doodle- Wow, uh, that's a good one. Well, let's see. Rex doesn't completely believe that she's dead, so he's not incredibly worried about her. He just keeps his mind off of the whole thing (for the nanites' sake). Six does believe that she is dead, but he (most likely) hasn't confronted White about it b/c 1) White might just off him, too & then, where would Rex be? OR 2) would rather not know OR 3) there's a possibility (to Six) that White wasn't in on it OR 4) White would just deny everything and Six knows that. I did think about Six confronting him, but I would always lead up to the 4th scenario. That's a really good one, though. Good comment. Maybe he did & I just didn't write it out :P lol

Shyma- They are SO DAMN SEXY! I've been wanting one forever! Though, I should probably get a car first lol. And thx for the 103rd review! :D

Solora- As in 'almost over', I mean we have about... 1, 2... maybe 5... or 7 chapters left. It's still gonna be awhile. As for the kiss scene... hehehe...

"Oh, yeah," Rex said, dodging an arm aimed for his head, "Killing it, that'll work."

"Well," Six responded, cutting off another arm and dodging a tentacle, "it sounded good earlier."

One of the tentacles lashed around and hit the agent in the chest, knocking him back a few feet.

The teen was using his Smack Hands to block any attacks aimed for him. "Well, it doesn't sound too good, now, does it?," he retorted, over his shoulder.

Six leaned back up, using one of the swords for balance. "Cure, contain, or kill, Rex," he reminded the boy.

"Alright, then!," he responded. Instead of blocking the next arm aimed for him, Rex used the Smack Hands to hold it back by it's hand. The Evo managed to push him back a little, but it was already too late. He changed the other Smack Hand back to his normal arm, and touched one of it's fingers. It took a little more work on the nanites part, since it was so far away from the main body, but, in a flash, the thing was cured.

He retracted the other Smack Hand. "De nada, ami-," Rex was about to say something, when he looked around and found no one to talk to. "Uh, Six," he said, turning in time to see the man standing beside him.

"I don't get it," the agent said.

"You don't get it?, the teen said, looking at the pile of dust that was once the Evo, "I just cured dirt. I'm the one that doesn't get it!"

"Guess that explains the dust cloud," he said, putting one of the swords back in his sleeve.

"Are you listening?," Rex continued to ramble, "I just cured dirt! I may be traumatized here!"

"You'll be fine," Six said, walking over to the dust that was slowly flying away in the wind.

The teen turned around, to see the smoke still coming up from the 'Kawasaki crash site'. "Dirt..," he tried to say, "Dirt... just totaled your ride, dude."

"I'm not a dude," he responded, half ingnoring the teen and trying to figure out what was going on.

"But-but," he said, still freaking out a little, "It was just dirt!"

"I think we established that."

He let out an agravated sigh and finally decided on something. "You know what," he said, "it's cool. It was just dirt. Who cares, right? It doesn't matter. I can pretend that nothing happened."

"Evos come about when nanites become unstable," the agent said, trying to lead up to something.

"Thanks for that random science lesson."

"The nanites were in the soil," Six turned to Rex, "Where is this soil from?"

Rex stared at him. "You know what," he said again, "this whole day has been one, big, freaky, fun ride. I wanna go home."

"It's nanite infused soil, Rex."

"Then," he concluded, finally piecing it together, "the soil's from Abysus. Ok, alright, but we already knew this thing was working with Van Kleiss, so how does that help us?"

"This wasn't random," Six said, looking back as the rest of the dirt flew away, "Van Kleiss sent it here for something."

They both looked at each other and a silence passed between them. Rex looked all the way around him, only to see more wasteland with a plateau here and there. Six tried the receiver, only to get static. They looked at each other again.

"We should probably go," the teen said.

Suddenly, a portal opened behind him and Rex was tackled to the ground by Biowulf. He managed to switch to the Punk Busters and kick him off. Rex stood, Six behind him, who brought back his other sword. Skalamander appeared behind them.

Rex looked at the two Evos. "This dance again, huh?," he said.

Biowulf, with a long scar across his face; courtesy of Six; stepped closer to them. "Today you will both die," he threatened.

"Uh-huh," Rex said, before kicking him again.

Skalamander threw crystals at Rex's back, but Six jumped in the way and blocked them with his blades, then ran at the Evo.

It was today, wasn't it?

Circe ran down the halls in a frinzy. After their talk last night, she couldn't find the woman anywhere. Now, it was getting dangerously close. She had to find Em.

She's not thinking straight. She just doesn't realize it. What if she does kill him? What if he still loves her? What if he didn't do it? What if... she finds out... after?

She ran faster. "Em!," she screamed down the halls.

There was a few problems in her search. Em was a freaking telepath. If she didn't want to be found, then she wouldn't be.

Why doesn't she just read minds or something? Find out the truth?

She knew why. Em was scared. She was scared of finding out something that she didn't want to know or hurting the other person. So, she never tried it.

Circe kept running. "Em!"

"Circe," a voice said, behind her.

She quickly turned. "Breach?," she asked, "Where's-" The Evo teleported her to the nearby mountains.

The girl looked around, in a worse frinzy than before. Now, she knew that something was up.

Do they just want to keep me from stopping her or...

Em's description of the younger guy had somewhat plagued her. He sounded too much like Rex. Circe wasn't a fool. She knew Van Kleiss wanted something with Rex, she just didn't know what. That was one of the bigger reasons that she had stayed in Abysus.

Ignoring how tired she already was, Circe started running to the castle.

o0o

Rex's B.F.S. slashed through the air over Biowulf's head. The Evo ducked and kicked him aside. The teen straightened up, revved up the buzzsaw, and ran back to the enemy.

Six was busy dodging crystals. Finally, he found an opening and lunged for the Evo. Skalamander dodged and hit him with his crystalized arm, knocking him back a few feet.

The B.F.S. retracted as Rex was thrown back to where Six was. He stood back up, about to go again, when a portal caught him and sent him away from the battlefield.

"Rex!," Six's worried voice rang out, but the teen was already gone.

Skalamander and Biowulf charged for him, but ran straight into a portal themselves.

Now, he was paranoid, when a heard a voice behind him. "Good to see you again, Agent Six."

Kleiss.

He quickly turned to see Kleiss, still on the other side of the portal, with that damn smile on his face. Six ran for him.

"I do hope you enjoy my new weapon," he said, with the same snear. The katana cut through where Van Kleiss' neck once was. He had already disappeared.

With an audible growl, he tried to calm himself enough to think.

New weapon? What does he mean?

Another portal opened and he quickly stood on guard. The 'weapon' floated down through it.

Feet. Legs. Way too familiar legs. Smooth hips. A thin waist. Her arms. Her neck. Her hair. Her... face. Her eyes.

He heard the swords clatter to the ground. He just stared at her.

This one isn't a dream, right? She's real... right?

"Holiday?"

o0o

Uber short. I know. I'm really sorry.

Alright! SO!

Circe's reason for staying is kinda ooc. I don't think she knows that Kleiss has 'interest' in Rex, but that's how the story goes, deal with it.

Umm.

Yeah.

Alright then!

R&R =D
