Sorry for the long time, no update! Also, I apologize for any characters being OOC in this chapter (or anywhere else in my story, for that matter) I'm not very good at writing from Rex's standpoint. So, here's chapter 8!

Chelsea's POV

I gaped at the huge mass of swirling energy hovering high above the Denver skyline.

"Was that really what I arrived in?" was all I could say. I had never seen anything so amazing in my lifetime.

"Rex, you'll have to fight whatever comes out of there." Holiday commanded him. Then, she turned to face me, her brow furrowed with worry. "Chelsea, can we trust you to fight, too?"

"Yes." I said without a moment's hesitation.

"Good. Then you'll fight along with Rex."

Do I have to? I groaned internally. The same people who were trying to kill me earlier now wanted me to fight with them?

"Well…" I hesitated. "What if what comes out isn't…bad?"

"We'll just have to find out when it does." Green suit guy crossed over to a large screen on the side, pressing numerous buttons before he typed in a code and turned back to us.

"Rex, Chelsea, you'll go out through the cargo door. You'll have to show her how it's done, Rex."

"No problem, Six." Rex grinned. Obviously, he was thrilled at the prospect of fighting. I didn't share his enthusiasm. What if we got killed?

Rex led me through a myriad of passageways before we came upon a large area at the back of the plane. He showed me an area of the floor where there appeared to be a door.

"We go out through this." He pressed a button on the wall, and the door slowly began to open. "Good luck." He grinned. I smiled stiffly back at him, my stomach churning. I had heard too many stories of people jumping out of planes and going splat at the bottom.

Before I could say anything more, Rex leaped out of the open door and fell into the open air. I could feel the air sucking me down, too, and before I knew it I was in the sky, falling fast. Change now, change now- my brain didn't seen to get the memo, though, because I was stuck as a human.

I closed my eyes, preparing for the worst- then a strong hand grabbed my wrist. I looked up to see Rex holding me up, his machine wings working hard to fly us both.

"Thought you might need a bit of help."

I sighed in relief. "Thanks."

I generated my eagle wings out of my back, and we flew up and closer to the vortex of energy.

Rex's POV

Chelsea and I soared as close to the energy ball as we could get. Crackling lightning surrounded it, and it tried to zap us we got within 100 feet of it.

"We can't get any closer, Doc." I said into my earpiece.

"Just wait. Something will happen, I'm sure of it."

"What if nothing happens?"

I heard Holiday sigh. "Just be on guard, Rex."

So, we waited. And just as I was about to fall asleep of boredom, the wind started to pick up and the energy in the vortex started swirling even faster.

"Uh oh." I heard Holiday gasp. "Rex…an EVO is coming out. Get ready."

As we watched, a huge shape appeared in the middle, then began descending out of the vortex. It burst out, and we saw it for the first time. Its skin was greenish and scaly, it had two huge dragon wings on its back, it had 4 arms with huge claws, and it face was scarred and had huge fangs. I heard Chelsea gasp next to me.

"What? It's just a regular EVO." I said, not remembering at the time that she had never seen an EVO before.

"It's not just an EVO. It's… Hawk." She whispered.

"Hello, cat girl." The monster grinned. "Miss me?"
