Chapter 4
Sleep Pandemic
This was not good Chibi and Grougal hadn't woken up and no matter what Yugo had tried they remain asleep. Only after making his way into the lab did he find out what had happened.
Apparently within 3 hours an EVO pandemic had spread rendering every non EVO asleep, through our providence the only ones awake were himself, Rex, White Knight (who remained in his own quarintine) and Doc Holiday, who was managing to keep herself up with bursts of electricity. Yugo winced again as the Doc was shocked after having almost fallen asleep.
"If Bobo is an EVO why hasn't he woken up?" Yugo asked as he gave the primate a quick shake, before looking to the two children that he had moved into the lab. Chibi and Grougal seemed so at peace, having no idea as to what was going on or that they had completely missed breakfast.
"Heh, I can just image their reaction to missing breakfast." Yugo stated as he ran a hand through Chibi's hair, a faint smile on his face. He and Doc left and went to the main lad where doc was hoping to find some way of reversing this pandemics effects before she completely passed out.
While at the computer Rex entered the lab and plopped himself in one of few seat.
"How are they?" Rex had asked, referring to those who were sound asleep, and would remain asleep. Doc pulled up a picture and stated how she knew she wouldn't be able to stay awake with the electro shocks alone. Then having somehow over heard her White Knights image appeared on the big screen in front of the three.
"Then you had better not waste time and figure something out already." The man growled out from his side of the screen, then his image turned and directed it's attention to Rex. "And you'd bet get moving before the downtown fire spreads any more than it already has."
Rex groaned as he stood, just as Rex was about to enter the elevator Yugo stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. " I think I can help with this." With that the two left after doc had given his own ear piece so that way he could hear when ever she or White Knight had something to tell them.
...
Yugo nodded to Rex as they stood on a building adjacent from the one that was engulfed in flames, to water silos rested on the roof where they stood and Yugo had activated two portals, one just beside the silos, the other above the burning building. After receiving the sign Rex activated his BFS and cut a large hole on the bottom side of the first silo, causing water to gush forth and into the portal below, from the first portal Rex watched in amazement as the water appeared across the space that seperated the two building through the other portal and did it's job in dousing the flames.
Once the fire had been eradicated Rex turned to Yugo opening his mouth to say something though stopped when White Knight's voice came over their ear pieces. "The flood gates at the dam are closed, get over there now and take care of it."
With an ex hanger of looks the two took off, Rex with his nanite built turbine pack and Yugo with his portals. As they went Rex watched as the dirty blonde haired teen retreated and appeared through the portals, he also couldn't help but notice the teen sweating horribly and showing vast signs of fatigue. The portals must've taken a lot out of the blonde though Rex would ask later out of curiosity.
Once at the dam it was an easy matter of opening the flood gates and getting inside to do so, the problem came when a large aquatic Evo decided to try and squeeze through the opening. As Rex went to fix the EVO problem Yugo picked up the early conversation the Doc had started, referring to a patient zero.
"So how are we supposed to find this patient zero then?" There was a silence as Rex took care of the EVO before she answered. "That isn't going to be as easy as you'd think." Rex walked in as the conversation continued.
"What do you mean? How hard can finding this person be?" After Yugo said this Rex joined in on their conversation. "Doc, if anyone can find this patient zero, I know that it'd be you." There was silence over their coms as the Rex and Yugo waited for a reply or for White Knight to but in and tell them to 'stop the idle chit chat'."
"Well if I could find a way to find the fequency that patient zero used to connect with all the nanites, we made be able to trace it back to the source." Hearing her idea over the intercom gave the two tens a slight hope but hearing the tired undertone worried them, just how long would she be able to last with the electrical shocks?
...
Back at base Holiday was already working on a means that she hoped would be able to track patient zero's frequency. "So all we gotta do if find this patient Zero, cure him and everyone will wake up ready for breakfast?" Rex asked as he watched the other teen as he paced the lab, stopping every once in awhile to stare at the screen that displayed those sleeping in the other room.
Doc had placed down what she was doing and began even questioning herself as she tried to answer Rex's question, finally with a frustrated sigh she tore the nodes that supplied the electrical shocks from her forehead. "I'm don't even know what I'm doing anymore, I'm just so tired." She placed her head to her hand as one would do when they were thinking but instantly the two teens began thinking worst case scenario.
Rex reached a hand out to shake the scientist only to null it back as she quickly regained her posture. "Almost lost it there for a sec," She then finished piecing together the device and held it out for Yugo. "Here, this device should be able to lock onto the signal. Though it may still take hours to even accomplish that." She sighed as the large screen at the end of the room lit up and displayed the face of White Knight.
"Holiday, where is my update?!" He demanded as doc stood, device still in her hand. She began making her way towards the screen, Yugo already noticing the slight unsteady walk she had as she made her way towards Rex's side. As she was walking Rex was arguing her case when she came to a stop next to him.
"If you give me a moment.. I...can find the..." Before she could finish her train of thought she slumped forward falling as Rex caught her before she was able to hit the ground. Yugo watched as White Knight scowled on his side of the screen. "That's great, she couldn't stay awake for an hour or two more."
At this point Yugo had, had enough. During this entire predicament he, Rex and Holiday had been working their buts off trying to figure out the end to this predicament while also running around making sure that innocent people didn't die, while this man had been sitting in his pristine white office doing nothing other than be an annoyance. Yugo made sure to voice his opinion.
"You should just shut up, we've been working our butts off trying to figure this out and save everybody while you've been sitting around doing nothing. At least she was trying to solve the problem." Rex sat Holiday down in the chair as he listened to Yugo's outburst, then watched as the blonde teen walked towards him and grabbed ahold of the device that doc had been working on.
"Now while you continue doing nothing, I'm going to follow the one lead that I've got to ending this and waking up Chibi and Grougal." Rex turned to follow his friend as White Knight decided to get the final word in. "Be sure to do your job right." The door between them shut and Rex grumbled as he picked up his pace in order to catch up to the teenage young EVO.
...
After another argument with White Knight over their coms and an EVO sighting at a traffic jam, the two teens decided to split up, Rex would take care of and try to cure the EVO'S while Yugo went on ahead and followed the sensor towards the source of the outbreak. That was the main reason why Yugo was as shocked as he was when he and Rex met back up on a large building overlooking the main area where the out break started with White Knight following behind the Providence agent in a large white machanical suit. What was with this guy and the color white?
"So why'd ya stop here?" Rex asked bringing Yugo back to the situation at hand. Yugo quickly shook his head clear and turned away from the hulking figure of the leading man of providence and looked eye level with his providence agent companion.
"The sensor was only supposed to bring us to the main area of the outbreak, then the left was up for us to do. That main area is here." Yugo explained as he gestured to the broad expanse of uilding that spanned out before the three. Rex sighed, he had been hoping that the device would lead them right to the source, but now they had to figure out a way to single out were patient zero would be.
Then it hit him Patient zero, maybe the cause was already emitted to a hospital. "White Knight would you have any kind of providence search engine that we could use to single out every hospital in the immediate area?" Rex asked, White Knight didn't reply and so the two teens waited in silence for the man to say something or other.
Finally Knight began reading off the amount of hospitals and anything similar found in the area and the three set off again, Rex leading with Yugo and Knight following close behind. As they were going it was obvious to Yugo that Rex was loosing it though it still caught the blonde off guard as Rex's build broke down and the navy haired teen began his vertical decent.
Yugo began his own decent, going after Rex as he prepared two portals, one below where he was hoping to catch Rex and the other above a duster in an alley below, so that way at least they would have some type of cushioning for when they made impact.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity of falling later Yugo had finally managed to grab ahold of rex, preparing for the impact I with the portal, knowing the strain it would cause him what with the extra person, along with the nauseous feeling that would over come Rex once they through the other portal.
When they finally made it through the second portal it laughed them up and then they began a shorter decent into the trash below where they landed in a tangled, disoriented, and nauseous heap.
At this point White Knight was just landing his white mechanical heap as Rex brought himself to a sitting position as with one hand he clutched his head and with the other his stomach. "Remind me never to go through those things of yours again." Rex mumbled as he pulled himself from the trash, only to turn and find that Yugo was practically out cold.
"Yugo? Come on man what's wrong?" Rex asked as he grabbed ahold of one of the EVO's hands and began hauling him out of the trash. The blonde groaned as he cracked open one of his eyes mumbling as he managed to muster enough strength to haul himself out of the trash, only to collapse on the alley floor afterward.
"I think that took whatever I had left." Yugo explained as he clutched his head, feeling the beginnings of a headache start g to hit him from the strain of using his EVO abilities with the lack of sleep that he had along with the rescue stunt that he just pulled off.
Suddenly the device Yugo had recieved from Holiday went off in his pocket and he all but groaned at the grating sound it caused against his headache. Barely conscious he managed to fish it from his pants pocket, holding it and staring at the flashing screen, unable to figure out why it was going off in his muddled mind.
Rex took it from the teen and stared at the screen himself, completely waking up at the sight, "It found the frequency!" He exclaimed as he read the coordinates, then looked down to the almost passed out Yugo. "You may want to sit this out, I don't think you'd be much help in the condition your in."
Yugo shook his head wanting to argue his case when instead he ended up holding his head as his headache worsened due to the sudden movement. Rex simply placed a hand on Yugo's shoulder.
"You should just rest here, and if you feel up to it contact me and meet us there, or if we finish up sooner I can just come back and get ya." Yugo still wanted to argue but rest just seemed like such a good idea that in the end he just need up nodded slowly and he leaned back against the dumpster, he then watched the retreating forms of Rex and White Knight's mech suit until his vision blurred and he finally succumbed to his exhaustion and blacked out.
...
"Yugo foooood."
He groaned as the voice interrupted his sleep, he turned over trying to get comfortable when the voice interrupted his sleep again
"Yugo you need to wake up!"
The voice sounded whiny and as much Yugo wanted to continue sleeping he remembered all that had happened and bolted up in bed finding the awake and smiling for of Chibi sitting on his lap.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Chibi asked as his smile somehow managed to widen. Yugo smiled himself as he ruffled the young boy's somehow naturally silver hair.
"I should be asking you that."
A.N. whoo that was a doozie to type, not to mention that I hadto keep looking back to the episode to make sure that the main plot remained reletively the same. Also the ending seems a little bullshit though at the same time legit seeing as how Yugo was pretty much running on reserves and unlike Rex he isn't use to that kinda thing, so yay legit bullshit.
Until next time Peace, Love, and Virtual Hugs
