I do not own.

Beverly and Rebecca anxiously watched the fight between their family and Zag-RS. Kenji had fallen asleep in Rebecca's arms.

They gasped when Violeta disappeared into the hole in the robot's chest.

"What's she doing?" Beverly asked.

"She's trying to deactivate it." Holiday responded.

"But wouldn't she disintegrate?" Beverly turned to her sister.

"Yes." Holiday agreed.

"That's suicide." Beverly's eyes widened.

"I know." Rebecca said grimly.

They held their breaths wondering how Violeta was coping. Then a bright light engulfed the screen. They turned away to avoid being blinded. Rebecca blocked Kenji. When it was over, Beverly shouted. "She did it!" Then the robot collapsed in a heap. "Where's Violeta?" Beverly covered her mouth is horror.

"Come on, we have to help." Rebecca said to Beverly. As they were running out, Rebecca grabbed a first aid kit.

They arrived as Rex pulled out his daughter.

They were not sure if she was alive at first but then she coughed.

"Can we go home now?" She asked weakly.

"Sure squirt." Kenji said with relief.

Handing baby Kenji to her sister, Holiday bent over to check the girl.

"Her nanites levels are low. We need to get her to med bay now." Holiday got up.

Circe handed her over to Rex who immediately ran to the base. Holiday followed with Circe and Rafael close behind.

When the group arrived, Rex gently put his daughter down in a bed.

Rafael hovered over his sister protectively. Circe and Rex stood awkwardly to the side as Holiday examined Violeta. She monitored her nanite levels.

"Her levels are dropping." Holiday said in a tight voice. "I can't find either of the

Omega-1's."

"What?" Rex asked shocked.

"I don't know if Zag-RS burnt them out. They must have been working overtime to replenish the nanites that were being destroyed." Holiday said as she checked the monitor.

"She's going to be alright, isn't she?" Rafael asked from the side.

"I… don't know, Rafael. She lost a lot of active nanites. Her body took a pretty big hit during the battle. Usually the active nanites would protect her but many of them disintegrated and if the Omega-1's were not working..." She trailed off leaving the rest unsaid.

"Hey, Doc? Remember when Van Kleiss drained mine? Can't we reactivate some dormant nanites and give it to her?" Rex suggested hopefully.

"Rex, we don't have that kind of reserve after the cure." Holiday pointed out. "Besides that was a once in a million chance it worked. It's too dangerous."

"So we let her die?" Circe's voice rose.

"Doc's doing the best she can." Rex reminded her.

"I'm sorry." Circe said embarrassed. Of all people Holiday was never passive.

"There's something but... I'm not sure it's safe." Holiday said hesitantly.

"Yes?" Rex asked eagerly.

Holiday took a deep breath. "We can replenish her nanites with other active nanites. Ones that are similar to hers."

"You mean use my nanites?" Rex asked.

"She can have mine!" Rafael offered.

Holiday smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Since your father's nanites are closer to Violeta it would be best for him to donate."

"What about me?" Circe spoke up. "I mean I am her mother. She must have some of my nanites."

"Yes, but her powers are closer to Rex's." Holiday looked at Rex. "It could be dangerous. Your nanite supply is pretty low right now as well. The transfer can be detrimental to you."

"Danger is my middle name. Do it Doc." Rex said grimly.

"Okay. Take her hand." Holiday instructed.

Rex held her hand. "Now what?"

"Now just concentrate on giving her some of your nanites."

Rex closed his eyes. Some blue lined snaked from his hand to hers. Violeta gasped as the lines covered her body.

Both father and daughter writhed.

"Rex?" There was fear in Circe's voice.

"Violeta, hang in there!" Rafael called to his sister.

Holiday monitored the machine. "Rex, that's enough. Your biometrics are dropping."

"Does she have enough nanites?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Rex, it's close enough." Holiday said.

"No, that's not good enough." Rex grunted. "She needs better than close enough."

"Rex, enough! That's good." Holiday said alarmed.

Rex stopped listening; he began talking to her nanites.

"Hey, guys? What's up?" Rex asked.

The nanites chirped. "Do you need more? Because I will give you whatever you need." Rex told it.

The Omega-1 showed up. Another came along side it.

Rex looked from one to another. "Well?" He asked. One of the Omega-1's floated to him. Rex held out his hand. It seemed to shrink and fall into his palm. In a flash it was absorbed into his body. Blue lines zig-zagged across his body.

"They're stabilizing." Holiday said with surprise.

The blue lines around Rex and Violeta's body subsided. Violeta turned her head and looked around.

"Did anyone get the license plate number of the truck that hit me?" She groaned.

"That's my girl." Rex ruffled her hair.

"Don't do that!" She exclaimed as she sat up only to be almost knocked over by a fierce hug from her brother. "Hermano," she gasped. "Can't breath."

"Oh, sorry." He said sheepishly.

"It's good to see you too." She smiled at him.

"What happened?" Holiday asked.

"The Omega-1's were recharged enough by my nanites that they started producing more nanites. Then mine returned to me." Rex scratched his head. "At least I think that's what happened."

"Well, whatever it was, it worked. You're both at 100% capacity." Holiday said as she scanned both of them.

"Woo hoo! Let's hear it for self-healing!" Violeta raised a hand up and Rafael high fived her.

Circe shook her head. "Like father, like daughter."

White Knight turned on his communicator. "All personnel return to base. Danger has been neutralized."

A few minutes later they saw the horizon with moving dots. As the dots came closer, figures of people started to take shape.

Kenji recognized Calan in the front of the pack. When Calan arrived, he stood in front of White Knight and saluted.

White inclined his head. "Start the clean up."

"Yes, sir!" Calan turned around and gathered his troops.

Kenji watched the clean up for a little bit. Then he noticed that his father had retrieved his younger self from his aunt. It surprised him how careful his father was with him. It made him curious as to what his father was like when he was younger. Then it hit him. His father would not be around in the future.

"Can we just tell him?" Kenji jumped when Jade appeared at his elbow.

"No." Jasmine also showed up.

"Well, what's the harm if we tell him?" Kenji argued.

Jasmine gave him a withering look. "Well, for one thing it could inadvertently erase us from existence."

"How?" Jade challenged.

"I don't know. But we've already screwed with the past so much it may not matter." Jasmine sighed.

"We can make everyone forget." Everyone jumped at Angel's voice.

They looked down at him.

"We can do that?" Jasmine asked incredulously.

"Sure, dad has that memory machine that wipes out memories." Angel said.

"Oh yeah," Kenji nodded remembering. "Dad was real annoyed. I think he threatened to kill him. Sorry, no offense."

Angel shrugged. "Lots of people threaten to kill papi… even mami."

"How can we get everyone to use his machine?" Jade asked.

"We don't tell them." Kenji decided.

"What? And how are we going to get the head band on? I don't think we can convince them that it's a new fashion statement." Jade frowned.

"No, I can change it so that it's more of a one shot flash. But I have to make sure that it just erases our time here." Jasmine thoughtfully tapped her chin.

"Then you'll need my help." Another voice interrupted them.

Everyone turned to see White Knight with his arms crossed.

"Shoot, is everyone in on the conversation?" Kenji complained.

"I'm not." Bobo popped up. "What'd I miss?"

"Your hide, if you don't scram." White snarled.

"Yeesh, grouchy." Bobo wandered off.

Kenji turned to White Knight. "How can you help us?"

"Look, I don't like people messing with my memories. And it seems that I do remember in the future so it stands to reason that everyone's memory was erased except mine." He raised an eyebrow as if daring them to contradict him.

"I guess it does match what we know." Jade admitted.

"Plus it would seem odd if everyone had collective amnesia. I can replace their memory of the day." White continued. "Just make sure you don't scramble their brains."

Jasmine sighed. "I hate to say it, but Angel I'm going to need your help deciphering your dad's invention."

"We get to mess with papi's stuff? Cool!" Angel declared.

"Uncle White, do you think you can keep our parents busy while we reconfigure Uncle Caesar's memory machine?" Kenji asked.

"Is Rex destructive?" White snorted. "We moved Caesar's infernal machine to the lower levels. Here's the access card. You better get going. They're bound to notice sooner or later that you are up to something."

"Thanks Uncle White." Kenji said gratefully accepting the card.

"Yeah, you're not a bleached out crotchety whale snot like mami said." Angel agreed.

White's eyes narrowed.

"Well, gotta go. Thanks for everything." Jasmine clamped a hand over Angel's mouth and shoved him along.

White watched as the kids disappeared into the base.

"What does this do?" Jade poked something. It sparked.

"Don't touch anything!" Jasmine said exasperated. "This is Uncle Caesar's reject inventions. "Anything can explode or implode."

"Or cover a city block with mango smoothie." Angel interjected.

"Yes, thank you. We remember." Kenji said wryly.

"Are you done yet?" Jade asked. "This science stuff is so slow."

"Look!" Jade got up irritated. "You try to reconfigure a machine that depress neurons in the brain without frying them."

"Done." Angel said looking up.

"What how?" Jasmine gaped at him.

"It's easy really. I don't know why dad insists on using a hendecagon arrangement rather than a double bi-axis configuration." Angel rattled off.

"He talks like you." Jade observed. "Make him stop."

"At any rate this doesn't solve our next problem." Kenji interrupted. "If dad doesn't remember any of this what are we going to do about… you know the future?"

"Well, telling him would be no good." Jasmine said. "This thing is going to erase anything we tell him."

"How about we erase everyone's but his?" Jade said. "Then he'll know and…" She couldn't finish the rest.

"That could alter everything and maybe one of us might not have existed." Jasmine pointed out.

"We can have Uncle White tell him." Angel suggested. Then he frowned as if a thought occurred to him. "Uh, no he totally loses his mind in the future."

"This is getting us no where. But maybe we can buy some time. I mean we still need to find a way home." Kenji said.

The door popped open. "What are you doing in my storage room?" Caesar wrinkled his brow.

Everyone jumped and began talking at once. "Nothing." "Just looking around." "We got lost." "How come we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway?"

The kids stared at Angel, who crossed his arms smugly.

"Good question. I believe historically park meant placement of vegetation…" Caesar launched into a lengthy explanation. When the kids turned back to Angel, he gave a I know how to distract my dad nod.

"Oh… and I have a way of getting you kids home." Caesar finished.

"You found Breach?" Kenji asked.

"Quien? Who? No, I have my dimension disrupter. I can easily program it to open a portal home." Caesar said proudly.

"So much for having time." Jade muttered.

"What was that?" Caesar asked startled.

"Nothing." Jasmine quickly said. "Why don't you go work on it and let us know when you're done?"

Caesar looked skeptical but left.

"Great, now what?" Jade threw up her hands. "What are we going to do about dad?"

"I don't know." Jasmine rubbed her face. "Maybe we just leave it alone."

"And let him die?" Jade's voice raised an octave. "I knew you always hated dad!"

Jasmine looked stricken.

"Jade." Kenji said in a warning tone.

"None of you liked dad." She accused them. "You wouldn't care if he died!"

"Jade! Enough!" Kenji snapped in a tone none of them were use to. It was enough to make her pause. "None of us want dad to die. But we can't let our emotions cloud our judgment. Dad would want us to make the best choice for the world not just for us."

Jade looked away.

"Jade, we don't want him to die either but it's more than just us we're talking about." Jasmine said pleadingly. "I will admit that dad scares me but that doesn't mean I want him to die. I do love him."

Jade said nothing.

"So when are we supposed to erase their memory?" Angel interrupted the tense moment.

Kenji sighed. "I think we let Uncle White do it. He can do it without raising suspicion."

"Well, let's go talk to him before Uncle Caesar finishes reprogramming his doohickey." Jasmine said.

Jade wordlessly walked out. Kenji and Jasmine exchanged worried looks before leaving.

"Hey guys? I can't carry this by myself. Guys?" Angel called to them.

White studied the device in his hand. He looked at all the next generation in front of him. They were wearing protective suits so that they would not contaminate the sterile environment. Violeta sat cross-legged in a chair. Rafael stood next to her protectively. Kenji and Jasmine stood in front of the desk. Jade stood off to the side by herself. Angel was kicking the wastepaper basket around the room.

"So this will erase the memory of you?" He questioned.

"It's not that selective. It will get rid of the memories of the last few hours. So…" Jasmine explained.

"So I have to fill in what happened to them in the last few hours." White placed the memory device on the table. "It means I have to also wipe out every agent's memory as well." He thought a moment. "Are you sure it won't get rid of all their memories?"

"It shouldn't. But anything can happen. That's why I'm leaving what I did in case something happens. Mom can figure it out." Jasmine said.

White Knight nodded. "Good."

His intercom buzzed. "Yes?" White answered.

"The dimension disrupter is ready." It was Caesar.

"Okay. We'll be there." White answered. He looked at the kids. "Ready?"

"I guess so." Kenji looked around the room. Angel ran into the wall with the wastepaper basket on his head and fell on his butt. "Yeah, I think we're more than ready." He amended.

"Then let's go." White got up.

0o0

"Well, guys. It's been real." Rex addressed his kids.

"Sure dad. Thanks for… you know." Violeta shrugged embarrassed.

"Yeah, you're welcome." Rex nodded.

They looked at each other for a moment. Then Rex and Violeta grabbed each other in a hug. Rafael jumped in and Circe joined in as well.

Kenji looked at his feet. "Um dad, it's been…" He wasn't sure what to say to his father.

"Kenji, I'm proud of what you've become. It's good to see what a fine young man you've become." He said.

Kenji raised his head with surprise. "That's because of you and mom." He answered sincerely. "You were… are the best father any kid can ever have."

"Dad," Jasmine said shyly. "I…" She stopped and just hugged him. Six stood awkwardly for a second before returning the hug.

Six noticed that Jade stood off to the side. "Jade?" He asked.

Jade looked at him. The rims of her eyes were red. Six gently pulled away from Jasmine. He clasped her shoulder before walking over to Jade. Jade would not meet his gaze.

"Jade, I'm very proud of you and your sister as well. I guess my katana is in good hands." He told her. Jade's eyes watered and she clasped onto his sobbing.

Six patted her back waiting for her to stop.

"Sorry." She hiccupped.

"For what?" He asked. He pulled away looking into her tear streaked face. "Jade, you don't have to be anyone else but you. Nothing in the world would change how I feel about you." He glanced at Kenji and Jasmine. "Any of you."

"Me either." Rebecca stepped in. She hugged her son and daughter before going to Jade.

She hugged her and Jade buried her face in her shoulder. "I love you, mom." Jade whispered.

Rebecca hugged her tighter for a second before letting go. She smiled into her face. Holding out her arm, her other children embraced her. Six stood close by.

Angel hugged his mother. "See you soon, mami." He said. Looking at his father, he waved. "See you later, papi. And you might want to reconsider your wiring... oh you won't remember anyway."

"Que?" He raised an eyebrow.

All the other kids glared at Angel.

"I think it's time to go." White Knight announced loudly. "Dr. Salazar, if you will."

Kenji looked gratefully at him.

"I just need to adjust the setting…" Caesar propped up his device and turned it on.

As the portal opened, the wind picked up. They held their arms up to protect their faces.

"Bye!" The kids waved as they walked into the portal.

The parents watched as their children disappeared into the hole. A few minutes later it closed.

Beverly sniffled. Caesar put an arm around her.

"All right everyone including assistants…"

"It's Beverly!" She cried with annoyance.

"Whatever… mandatory debriefing meeting in five minutes. Don't be late… Rex." White said sternly.

"What? I'm never late… much…" He said.

"Just be there." White growled.

"Wonder what the big deal is?" Beverly muttered still annoyed.

"You know White… more blah… blah.. blah… snore." Rex scoffed. "Hey Bobo, where have you been?"

"Babysitting." Bobo said as he handed baby Kenji back to his parents. "Plus I hate good byes."

"Well, we have a meeting. Let's go." Six stated. Everyone headed into the base.

0o0

The kids all fell in a heap on the ground.

"Ow!" "That hurts!" "Get off me!" "Whose hand is that?" "Sorry." Their voiced jumbled together.

"Where are we?" Kenji got up and brushed himself off.

"It looks like… the power station." Jasmine observed.

"So we're back where we started?" Jade asked looking around.

"I don't see mom and dad." Rafael looked around.

"Maybe we should check the news." Violeta suggested.

"I'm hungry." Angel said. Then his stomach growled.

"Shhh, quiet everyone, I'm trying to contact someone." Jasmine frowned. "I don't understand. All I'm getting is static."

"Well, try all the other frequencies." Jade said.

"I did. It's all static. You don't think…" She gulped. "You don't think that we…"

"Failed?" Kenji finished grimly. "Who knows?"

A sound made them all get into fighting stances; the large metal door creaked open.

"Hey guys, what's taking you so long?" Everyone opened fire. Bobo stood stunned with shots, knives and shurikens surrounding him. "Okay, okay sheesh, I'm sorry I disturbed you."

Everyone lowered their weapons. "Sorry, Bobo. Just a little trigger happy." Kenji apologized.

"Um, Bobo, what are you doing here?" Jasmine asked.

"What do you mean, what am I doing here?" Bobo gawked. "We were here to make sure Zag-RS isn't hiding in the computer system."

"Bobo, just to clarify, what happened the last few years?" Rafael questioned.

Bobo looked from person to person trying to gage if they were serious. "Ok, I don't know what crazy thing you're up to but Zag-RS stole a nuclear submarine and started taking over computer systems around the world."

"Ok, sounds right so far." Violeta muttered.

"You guys spent the last few years pushing the AI back and containing her. And this is the last place you discovered where it was finding." Bobo continued. "Why you asking?"

"Uh, we were just curious." Jasmine said.

"Bobo, where's dad?" Jade interrupted.

Bobo looked at her curiously. "Why do you want to know?"

Jade started getting agitated. "Answer the question, you walking fur rug!" She snapped. Kenji gripped her arm as she lunged for the chimp.

"Temper's like your old man." He held his hands up nervously.

"Low blood sugar." Jasmine tried to cover up.

"Must be." Bobo sniffed. "Green bean's waiting in the…"

"Dad's alive?" Jade relaxed.

"What? Of course he's alive. You think he's so easy to kill?" Bobo was then stampeded by the three teens.

Jade got outside first. Six was leaning against the jump jet.

"Dad!" He looked up just in time to catch Jade, then Jasmine, and finally Kenji in his arms.

"Did I miss something?" He asked flatly.

"No, we're just glad to see you." Jade said trying hard not to cry.

"Uh-huh. Have you checked out the system?." He said extracting himself.

"Uh sure, dad." Kenji said. "But maybe you can give us a rundown on what we were doing here?"

His father looked at him strangely but obliged. "We traced Zag-RS to this last location. While Bobo and I took care of the sentinels guarding the area, your team was supposed to clean Zag-RS out of the system. And where's Rex and Circe? I thought they were with you?"

"Right here, Six." Rex stepped outside. "Everything's clean. Zag-RS is toast." He held up a burnt out hard drive. "Literally."

Circe came out with Rafael and Violeta in tow. Angel came out with Bobo.

"You're in trouble with your mother, young man." Circe was telling Angel. "She was freaking out when she found out you were gone."

Angel wasn't listening he was busy folding and unfolding a paper in his hand.

"Good job, everyone." Six said. "Let's head home. We can deal with the clean up tomorrow."

Six, Bobo, Rex, and Circe walked into the jump jet.

"Guys, they don't remember." Jasmine said with a hint of surprise. "We did it! I can't believe it but we did it!"

"Yeah, Zag's gone. We stopped it from killing our families." Violeta smiled.

"Dad's still alive." Jade said with relief.

"I don't know what happened but I'm glad he's okay." Kenji agreed.

"Uncle White did it." Angel suddenly spoke up.

All eyes turned to him.

"How do you know?" Rafael asked.

Angel held up a wrinkled piece of paper. "The note he wrote." The kids crowded around Angel.

"Wow, this matches everything that happened." Violeta said in awe.

"And Uncle White said he would make sure that dad would open a letter he wrote for him at the right time." Kenji read the last line.

"Then, it's finally over. We can go back to normal, back to school, back to ordinary life…" Jasmine said.

They looked at each other.

"Nah!" They all said at once.

"Normal's boring and trite. Angel declared.

"Plus there're bad guys still to fight." Violeta noted.

"And wrongs to be made right." Rafael continued with a grin.

"Oh, oh and to take up other's plight." Jasmine added her.

"With all our might." Kenji contributed. They looked at Jade.

"You're all as high as a kite." She said unimpressed.

"Spoilsport." Kenji teased.

"Oh can we do the cheer?" Rafael asked sticking his hand in the middle.

"No!" Jade quickly said.

"Yeah!" Angel put his hand in as did Violeta and Jasmine. Kenji placed his on top. They turned to Jade.

"Didn't you hear what dad said? I'm supposed to be me. And this me doesn't do this!" Jade argued. They still stared. Finally she rolled her eyes and placed her hand on top. "This is peer pressure you know. I'm doing this under duress."

"Whatever," Kenji said.

"GO, GEN NEXT!"

The End

Fin

Done.

Thank you for being patient. I hope it was somewhat worth the wait. I'm not going to get into everything that's been going on. I've been pushing myself to finish and well… it shows. The story's a little strained because I'm a little strained. I think I finished wrapping up all loose ends. After the Halloween story I may disappear for a bit or maybe not. It all depends on what's happening.

In the meantime, please go read some of the new stories out there and support other Generator Rex writers. Crystalmoon101 has two very good stories out there. If you love the parent/child relationship you will enjoy Parental Figures. And she has a different take on what happens after season 3 called Generator Rex: Hamartia. Plus another writer... theWriterunknown also has a story about the future of Rex and the gang called Lineage-Generator Rex Years After. For those who like AU's Sally B. Mcgill's World's Colliding is a great read especially if you like the friendship between Rex and Noah. Moddy has an awesome Caesar story called Querencia. Don't forget MelissaRC and spookyghostcat's stories either. And many, many more. Read, favor, follow, and leave an encouraging review so that we keep this fandom going.

God Bless.
