As Six and Rex ran down the street, they encountered a liant that attacked them. Rex, remembering their last encounter, punched it onto its back.
"Got it." He said smugly. Unfortunately, it managed to right itself by rolling over.
"Hey! When did you learn to do that?" Rex asked shocked.
The street lights flickered. "Oh come on! Now what? Rex groaned.
"There's a gnasht gnawing on the power station near-by. Take care of it. I'll deal with this." Six informed him with the information he just received from his comlink.
"On my way. Have fun with Mr. Flea." Rex ran off leaving Six with the liant.
Rex found a gnasht gnawing on the power grid. "This is easy." Rex cracked his knuckles. He formed his Smack Hands and walloped the rodent. "Come on Jerry. Lunch is over."
The gnasht snarled at him before attacking. Rex pulled back his fist and slammed it into the gnasht. But when he made contact, his Smack Hands fell apart. "What the hey?" Rex looked at his hand incredulously. He noticed a strange feeling come over him. Looking up, he yelped as the rodent EVO sprang on him. He held up his remaining metal fist just in time to block the sharp teeth from embedding itself in his face. His other Smack Hand shattered. He bounced back several feet from the force. Shaking his head, he spun around trying to see what was causing his builds to break.
"Six?" He called out.
"Busy with a liant." Six sounded distracted.
"Six, my builds aren't working right." Rex said in almost a panic.
"What do you mean?" Six asked.
"I'm falling apart… literally. Woah!" The gnasht jumped on him. Rex held the EVO back with his bare hands. The snarling jaw got closer to Rex's face.
"Rex? Rex, what's going on?" White Knight's voice blared in his ear. Rex couldn't answer. Both his hands were busy.
Rex closed his eyes. But suddenly he felt a lightness. Opening his eyes he saw the EVO circling around the person from before. Only this time Rex could see that the person was a girl no older than he was now. The lower half of her face was covered.
The gnasht jumped and the girl side stepped it, slashing it with her sword. The gnasht fell injured but angry. In its rage it attacked again. The girl flipped over it and landed nimbly behind it. She turned and kicked it in its rear. The creature yelped. It turned around in time for the girl to slap it with her sword. The gnasht fell over. Rex watched with his jaw open. The girl looked at him and then threw her blade at him. Rex froze but the blade passed inches from his ear to hit something behind him. He spun around to see another sand sentinel with a sword right through its center. It dissolved. The fuzzy feeling Rex had cleared. He looked at his hands and concentrated. His Smack Hands grew easily.
"Thanks." Rex said to the girl who nodded.
"Rex!" Rex could hear his footsteps.
"Six! Over here… you'll never believe…" Rex turned around and the girl was gone.
"Rex? Are you okay?" Six arrived with his magna blades drawn.
"She was right here!" Rex scrambled looking all around.
"Who?" Six frowned.
"My builds were falling apart and the gnasht was about to make mincemeat out of my face and then this girl shows up, fights it and throws her sword at me but it wasn't me she was throwing at but a sand sentinel… look her sword is still here." Rex picked the sword off the floor.
Six came over. Rex handed it to him.
"This is no ordinary sword, Rex." Six said in a tight voice.
"What do you mean?" Rex stared at it.
"This is the sword One gave me. This is my katana." Six said grimly.

White sat glaring at the kids in front of him.
"Let me get this straight." White said slowly. "You are Six and Holiday's daughter. You are Rex and Circe's son, and you…" He looked as Angel was trying to lick his elbow. "Are strange." He finished.
"He's Caesar and Beverly's son." Jasmine corrected.
"Is that any different than what I said?" White asked.
"Anyway, you have to help us." Jasmine concluded.
White leaned back in his chair. "I'm supposed to believe that you came from the future? Do you have any proof?"
Jasmine and Rafael looked at each other. "I don't know how I can…"
"You were hired to kill Uncle Six before you decided to team up. You hated dad because you thought he was an EVO monster. You were upset at Uncle Six for sticking up for dad. You eventually liked dad after he didn't let you get infected by nanites. Your real name is Frances…" Rafael rattled off.
"Okay, okay… stop." White scowled at him. "How did you know about my name?"
"You told me." Rafael nodded happily.
"Your name is Frances?" Angel wrinkled his nose. "That's a girl's name."
"No, it's not! It's Frances with an e… Why am I explaining this to you?" White turned his attention back to Rafael. "I've never told anyone my real name."
"But I'm your godson." Rafael protested.
"My what?" White gasped as his eyes widened in shock.
"Yeah, my middle name is Knight, Rafael Knight Salazar." Rafael said proudly.
White went silent as he studied the three children in front of him.
"Look, you even wrote us a note on what happens except that it keeps changing what we should do." Rafael handed him the sheets of paper.
White Knight took them from his hand. He slowly went through the pages.
"This is my handwriting. But this doesn't mention you at all." He looked at Rafael.
"It doesn't?" Jasmine took the pages. As she skimmed through it, Rafael groaned.
"I don't feel so well." He fell to his knees.
"What's wrong with him?" White asked alarmed. He got up and knelt next to him.
"I don't know." Jasmine said trying to keep her panic in check. "But this might mean that Zag-RS was successful in eliminating Uncle Rex or Aunt Circe."
White hit his comlink. "Agent Circe? Where are you?"
A few minutes later a female voice replied, "I'm in training room B, why?"
"Nothing." White cut off the feed. "Rex? Rex, what's going on?"
There was no answer. White changed tactics. "Six! Find Rex now! He's in trouble." He unconsciously held Rafael tight in his grip. Rafael began fading in and out.
"Uncle White," He said in a small voice. "I'm scared."
"Don't worry. If anyone can help, it's Six." White tried to reassure the boy.
"On my way." Six answered.
"Hurry!" White urged.
"Raffy, stay with us okay." Jasmine was also next to her cousin.
Angel frowned and grabbed the papers that were now discarded on the floor. He squinted at the pages. "I can't read script." He announced.
"Not now, Angel. Raffy's not doing so well." Jasmine said feeling very stressed.
"But I see Raffy's name." Angel continued.
"What?" Jasmine looked up in surprise.
"Yeah, it's right here." Angel pointed it out.
Jasmine snatched the pages. "Rafael! You're back on the sheet."
Rafael's eyes were closed and he was breathing heavy but he started to solidify. Finally, when he was completely solid, he looked up tiredly. "That sorta hurt."
"Six! Is Rex all right?" White shouted into his comlink.
"He's fine now, but something strange is going on." Six said flatly. "He says a girl helped him. She left her katana. But it's my katana."
Jasmine smack her head. "Jade! She must have left it. But she's usually so careful about dad's weapon."
"Bring it back. We'll have a look." White said. "If you're done, both of you return immediately, White out." White looked at them. "How long are you going to keep yourselves a secret from them?"
Jasmine shook her head. "I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid that if we tell them it would screw up the whole space-time continuum."
"It looks pretty screwed up already to me." White said wryly helping Rafael up.
"But what if we make it worse? What if we all disappear?" Jasmine asked.
White sighed. "I don't know much about time travel or the implications, but if Zag-RS is here and it's trying to kill off your parents, you are going to need their help." He looked at Angel who was sitting upside down in his office chair spinning himself around. "And from the looks of it, you're going to need a lot of help." Just as he finished, Angel fell off.
"I think I'm going to puke." He said before doubling over the waste basket.
"And even then, we're probably doomed." White said pessimistically.

"How could you leave your katana?!" Kenji berated his sister.
"Well, it was either get the katana or get discovered!" Jade retorted.
"No, no, no! You've messed everything up!" Kenji yelled.
"Me? I don't see you doing anything to help!" Jade shouted back.
"Guys? Stop." Violeta said weakly but no one heard her.
"You're so useless; you should have just stayed home." Kenji blurted out.
"I'm not the one who left dad to die!" Jade shot back.
"I didn't leave him!" Kenji cried. "I tried to help!"
Both siblings looked like they were about to punch each other when a metal fist came between them. They both turned to see a panting Violeta.
"Guys! Stop! This isn't helping." Her build fell apart as her knees gave way. Kenji and Jade rushed over.
"Call, Jasmine. See if she got through to Uncle White." Violeta said breathing heavily.
Kenji nodded. "Jasmine? Are you there?"
"Kenji, is Violeta okay?" Jasmine's voice answered.
"It's been rough but she's going to be fine, right?" Kenji tried to encourage his cousin.
Violeta gave him a small smile which changed to a grimace.
"All of you, get to Providence. We're going to decide what to do." Jasmine continued.
"What do you mean?" Kenji asked.
"Uncle White thinks we should tell our parents." Jasmine explained.
"But I thought you said… if we tell them… how come our parents don't remember meeting us?" Kenji was confused.
"I know, I know." Jasmine admitted. "Time traveling is very confusing. I don't know why our parents don't remember meeting us. I don't know why the paper keeps changing what happens. I don't know anything. I can only speculate. Just get back here so we can decide what to do. Please."
Kenji could tell Jasmine was very stressed. He was feeling it too and from the look on Jade's face she was also a few steps away from snapping.
"Okay, we'll be there as soon as we can." He agreed.
"Uncle White has cleared you to land on the helipad on the roof. If you leave now, you'll just beat dad and Uncle Rex home. I'll be there waiting for you." Jasmine sounded relieved.
"On our way." Kenji affirmed. Then he saw Violeta. She was pale. "Hey, do you think you can fly us back?"
Violeta closed her eyes. Two red turbines sprouted from her back. "Yeah, I think so."
"Good girl." He said approvingly. The siblings each grabbed a wing and Violeta took off.
Hopefully, they will beat their fathers back to Providence.
You know how I love my kids? I took them to see The Emoji Movie. I didn't think it could physically hurt to watch a movie but it did.
