Chapter 6
Rex felt as if someone had bashed his skull with a massive piece of marble, over, and over again. With every flinch of his body, every nerve screamed as if it was set on fire, and was being burned cruelly. The Hispanic grunted and tried to move again, but kept getting that bee sting feeling all over.
He let of a howl of frustration and discomfort, wanting to be able to move again. Rex forced himself upward, screaming in agony, trying to move. As he finally got himself to a sitting position, he could only slightly make out the area around him. The teen was sitting in a dense forest with tall beech trees, sessile oak, wych elm, and a few birch trees. The ground was covered by thick grass, moss, wildflowers, and lichens. Some of the trees were coated in ferns, and vines hanging off the branches. It had a cool, misty, dangerous feel to it; even though Rex's cries had probably scared off any animal in the five mile radius.
The EVO thought if he could maybe activate his nanites and create machines, he might be able to get on the move. Rex closed his eyes and summoned his nanites, and pictured his Boogie pack. Instantly, at the mere use of his power, Rex felt like the world was spinning, and he was suffering from extreme nausea. He felt as if his stomach was churning and he could feel the blood draining from his face. The teenager instantly stopped, relaxing his body, and nanites.
Rex's boredom of siting in one spot began to drive him insane. So every couple minutes the Hispanic would flex and move his muscles, trying to elongate the resistance to the pain. Eventually Rex could withstand it for a few minutes before collapsing in spasms. Rex tried using his powers again, feeling that nauseating emotion in his throat, stomach, and chest. Finally, Rex's massive mechanical fists returned and he felt safer already. The raven haired boy slightly relaxed at the familiar metal, and tried to ignore the horrid queasiness.
The teen experimented with his other machines to the point of retching in his throat, and forcing it back down. The Hispanic EVO realized his situation, trying to recall the events. Not too long ago he was at Providence chilling with Bobo, which was a day after Seven was abducted by Breach. Seven! Breach! Rex came to his revelation to what had happened. Breach had probably gotten tired of Seven and dumped her somewhere on an island in the mid-atlantic. Probably taking him in her place. He quickly shook the thought, if Seven even was still hidden in this pocket dimension, then he would find her and then they would figure out how to get back to Providence. The teen could only form a few thoughts, and a simple plan.
Continue up this terrain, find high ground, make camp, get food and water. Rex would move thirty feet, stop to relax the straining nerves, continue on, stop, and keep going. It was simple yet, sufficient. Hopefully finding Seven, or Seven finding Rex.
As Seven slipped into the portal, she could feel the air draining from her lungs, and she couldn't use any of her special training to change the he fact she was going to pass out. Little white spots clouded the girl's vision, and the world instantly turned dark.
Seven awoke in a dark room, that smelt of dust, and crusty wood. The girl was flat on the cheap carpeted floor, hair sprawled around her. She slowly sat up feeling the scratchy mat, and leaned on her elbows. The mercenary was dressed in thick her thick combat boots, dark green running pants that clung to her figure, black V-neck tee shirt, with a dark brown jacket over it. All of her previous weapons were room around her was a small shack, walls thick and insulated in drab, ebony color. On one of the walls there was a gas stove, and sink, with a few cabinets. Along with a small old fashioned furnace. To the other side was a wardrobe. It was the simplest form of a cabin.
The most interesting thing in the room was the wall full of weaponry. There were daggers, knifes, and a few compound bows. Both bows were already strung, with a quiver of arrows. Seven's stoic expression faded to a slight smile happy to be with the weapons of her choice.
Seven slowly stood and choose her inventory carefully. The black-haired girl picked out the the quiver and tied it onto her belt on the right and picked up the one of the compound bows. After that she slipped a knife into each boot. The girl then zipped up the jacket half way and tried the door. It was metal and locked tightly, concealing Seven to the inside. The girl glared at the door and clench her fists before stepping back a few paces, and then body slamming the door with her full force, and powers. The door crumpled, and flew outward like a wet leaf being blown in the wind.
Seven stood in the doorway and took a step out into the forest. The girl quickly threaded an arrow to the bow and walked slowly, expecting something to attack, being extra attentive. Almost if to make her thoughts become a reality, a wicked howl echoed around the forest, that sounded like an inhuman creature was being murdered painfully. Seven spun on her heel frantically trying to locate the source of the shriek. The girl realized how vulnerable she truly was at this point, as she quickly scaled the nearest oak to her. Soon, Seven had a large view of everything around her, and could leap from branch to branch, disguised in her outfit, and ready with her bow.
The girl's head snapped around at the crack of of a branch, maybe 200 feet away, her senses picking up the sounds, guiding her towards the it. Seven silently ran across the branches ears pricking up every rustle, and every subtle utterance. As the mercenary was moving, a slight figure caught her eye, obviously inhuman. She stopped in the tree she was in and crouched, blending in with the foliage. Seven refit an arrow to the bowstring and pulled back, ready to release.
The massive figure resembled a massive overgrown cat-tiger that was the size of a elephant. It was black, with brown stripes like a tiger. Seven instantly grew defensive of this massive animal and clenched her teeth. The creature growled ferociously and moved forward. The girl in the tree instantly prayed the cat hadn't smelt her yet and was ready to kill her. With a lash of the giant razored claws, she would be done for. Luckily, the EVO was stalking something else. The creature growled and snapped down on a poor unfortunate animal, the morbid sound of bones cracking and snapping under the pressure and sharp teeth. Seven recognized the cries of a mule deer. Her eyes widened her her pupils contracted in fear. The EVO could snap her in half if she was caught in the jaws of it.
The whiff of the creature entered Seven's nose, noticing the metallic tinge of nanites in the air, but there was something else to. A familiar scent was there too, something strong yet masculine, and obviously sweating from exertion. Seven pupils dilated at the matched scent when she realized who it belonged to. Almost if reading her mind, a rev of a chainsaw roared over the sound of crushing of trees around the cat EVO. The cat hissed and snarled in anger at the new threat, as the familiar scent became a voice, "Huh? you want some of this?" A young male voice shouted, then again in high pitch, "HEEEEEEEEERE Kitty, kitty, kitty!"
The cat tried pouncing onto Rex, his hand still morphed into his massive B.F.S. The cat got the upper hand and shoved the teen down, and stood atop of him ready to cut him to shreds. Rex raised his knees to his chest and built his feet into Punk Busters and hit the cat in the ribcage. It flew back through the trees, snapping them like dowels. Luckily Seven avoiding being hit by jumping to the right into a thin tree, hanging from a flexible branch with one arm so she wouldn't fall. The cat dogged Rex's new oncoming attacks; he lashed his blast castor trying to keep away from the dodging creature. Unfortunately the teen left his left arm open, making it a prime target for attacking. The cat EVO's claw flew forward and clawed his upper bicep. He yelled in anger and pain and stumbled back, remaking his hands into his Block Party, shielding himself from further attack.
The girl fell out of the tree, frozen, like watching a movie play out before her eyes, except it was real. Any other person would be stunned, but Seven leapt to her feet and let out a yell, equivalent to a war cry as she let loose attacking the EVO, diminishing all hopes of staying incognito.
The black-haired girl released several arrows into the beast before tossing them aside and began attacking viciously. Seven snatched the knife out of her boots, holding them with the blunt end of the knife under her thumb. The mercenary twisted into a back handspring and sailed through the air.
The EVO rammed into the side of Seven, clawing the girl down. This fueled the angry teen to punch the EVO directly into the nose, as the sound of bones breaking filled the air from Seven's released energy throughout the body. Seven whipped around, spin kicking the feline EVO down the side of the face, using her super strength to send it soaring back through the trees. The girl lunged forwards and restrained the EVO from moving. "Rex!"
The Hispanic EVO raced forwards and placed his hands atop the beast, and concentrated. Soon the bright blue circuitry of Rex's curing ran across the creature, reverting it back to a small ocelot that hissed and ran off.
The teen stood and showed off his thousand watt smile, "And that's called being awesome."
Seven rolled her eyes, as some red seeped into her vision. The girl reached up to feel her forehead. Her hand instantly recoiled in pain and dizziness, from blood loss. She realized when the cat clawed her down, her must've hit her in the head. As the blood trickled down her hands, hair, and face; Seven began to sway on her feet. The red liquid was like a thin layer of sweat encoding her body. Seven collapsed in a bloody heap, landing in some plush long fine grass, coughing quietly. The last thing Seven remembered was someone speaking to her, but not being able to comprehend it.
