A.N. *cowers in a corner* I'm sorry for the lack of updates, other stories and all that stuff, even though that is more of an excuse which doesn't make up for the fact that I am on Fanfiction every night yet can't seem to type anything. So it isn't just procrastination, I guess lack of motivation as well as inspiration both have parts to play in lack of updates.

Chapter 5

Convincing

Rex had somehow convinces Yugo to join him and his friend Noah outside of Providence, for a day of who knows what. After who knows how many hours of Rex bugging him Yugo had finally agreed, if only to shut the navy haired teen up. That's how he found himself at the edge of a basketball court as Noah and Rex tried a little one on one, though with how bad Rex was doing it didn't seem like much of a game.

"Come on Yugo join us!" Rex called over as he tossed the basketball in the dirty-blonde's direction. Only on instinct after Rex had pulled same trick multiple time already, Yugo activated two portals and managed to launch the ball right back at Rex, all this without even paying attention.

Rex abandoned the game and made his way to the odviously distracted teen, seating himself next to teen, whose attention had seemed to be elsewhere for a while now. That was the main reason he and Noah and tried so hard in convincing him to join them, so that he could relax and maybe not worry as much, though at this point Yugo almost seemed more distracted then before.

"Okay, so you odviously aren't here right now." Rex stated as he leaned back and got comfortable, Yugo's reaction was almost instantaneous and he spun to stare at Rex. "What do you mean I'm not here right now? You and your friend practically dragged me here!" Yugo exclaimed as he stood from his seat.

Noah noticed the smile the broke acrossed his friends face as Rex stood once again, now meeting Yugo's gaze dead on. "What I mean is that your attention is still elsewhere, when Noah and I just brought you along with the hope that you would relax, even if just for five minutes." Rex explained as he placed a comforting hand to Yugo's shoulder, the teen almost brushing it off but stopped, and instead looked to the ground.

"Well I'm sorry if I'm not exactly 'here' but when my brother is off somewhere with someone I've only heard bad things about, I can't really help but worry." At this Yugo looked up and his gaze was steel, ridden with an internal challenge. "And it doesn't help that Providence, who said they would help locate this Van Kleis, has done nothing in the end in the means of locating him." Yugo said through clenched teeth.

Rex, then, was about to reply was interrupted as the ground shook and unexpectedly thick coarse vines shot out of the ground, attaching to anything and everything within their grasp. The three teens had ducked and Yugo with quick timing was able to teleport any of the large debris that had been launched after the vines had unearthed themselves.

Rex, Noah and Yugo all stood up from where they had taken cover and turned to investigate the thick vines as they continued to writhe, even as they latched onto what they grabbed ahold of, in this case the basketball hood and the chain link fence that surrounded the court. As they were investigating the vines that were present more tremors suddenly shook the ground and just like before vines of varying sizes and colors launched out of the ground and latched onto the first thing they touched, jn the end the entire city was truly the definition of a 'concrete jungle'.

Without any delay the teen Providence Teens took off, knowing that something was clearly up and if anything, all signs pointed toward EVO. As they went they quickly found out that no corner of the city had been spared of the vines grasp, and they weren't even sure if it was just centralized in this one city or not.

All below they were screams of innocent bystanders who just happened to be caught in the mess, but in order to save them they had to first find the source. Luckily for them it seemed like the vines had a central point where they all converged so it was their best bet that the source could be found they finally got to the central point of it all to say that the two were shocked would be an understatement. Vine litterally covered everything, and and even at the center of those vines stood a protective dome of vines with an unwelcome visitor trying to claw their way through the vines.

Rex launched himself at one of his enemies, alerting the other to his presence as he called out. "Hey, Biowulf, leave the gardening to the professionals!" The large mechanical, beast halted it's attack on the vines and turned its large crimson claws on Rex. Yugo took this as an opportunity to get to the central vine sphere and see just what it was that the beast was trying to get at.

Quickly he made it past the two fighting adversaries and made his way to the far side of the sphere, so that way Biowulf wouldn't be able to see him should the beast realize that Rex was not alone and that his companion had somehow disappeared. He could see where Biowulf had been relentlessly attacking the sphere before and was shocked when he noticed that smaller vines began wrapping themselves around the damaged areas, acting as a type of bandage and no doubt adding more strength to the now weakened area.

Once he was out of view of the two fighting EVOs, Yugo began his own attack on the vines, though without sharp objects of any kind it was clear that he wasn't making much progress. He stopped for a moment to try and find something in the area that would be of use to him and could only find a rock that had rugged edges, though lacked the sharp edges that he needed. In the end he had to settle for that or continue his fruitless bare handed effort.

With 'weapon ' in hand the blonde began attacking at the thick vines once again, he fell back in shock though when an annoyed voice called out from within the vines tangle.

"Would you all just leave me alone, I already told you I have no plans of ever working under that stupid degenerate!"

Yugo righted himself and tried to figure just who the shielded person was talking about. Finally, knowing that he had least had to clear things up, Yugo righted himself and leaned upon the vines protective wall, leaning an ear against the rough vines in a hope of catching a sound from whoever was in there.

"Hello? Are you all right?" Yugo called out after a few minutes of silence, within seconds a scoff like noise was heard from within the vines tangle.

"Yeah as if you suddenly care, you just want me to let my guard down, well it isn't going to happen, now back off before I crush you with my vines like the lowly little insect you are." The harshness of their voice caught Yugo off guard but underneath that he could tell that whoever was in there was most likely scared and if anything just trying to protect themselves. They probably didn't even know that their vines were covering all of the city.

"I'm not with the creep that was trying to get at you, I promise, if you would come out and talk to me I'm sure that I can help you." He stated and he leaned against the vines, placing his ear against the rough surface, after a few minutes Yugo started to believe that they weren't going to even answer him when suddenly the vines spread apart and almost seemed to swallow him, quickly closing him in and enveloping him in darkness once his entire body was within its confines.

After he got over the initial shock of being eaten alive by vines, Yugo opened his eyes to find, to his surprise, that it was not as dark as he had initially though as light filtered in through small crevices and openings withing the vines, even through some of the thinner vines themselves. Slowly standing in the filtered light Yugo came face to face with a girl who almost seemed made of plants herself.

She stood, maybe just a bit shorter than Yugo himself and watched him with nevous bright green eyes. Her hair was thick and a deep forest green, much of it lying in curls around her shoulders, thin vines visible within the delicate curls, only visible due to their darker shade. Her skin was a rich brown and when Yugo looked close enough he could barely make out the texture of what seemed to be tree bark that made up her skin. To describe her in simple terms, she appeared to have been made by the forest herself.

"Fine now we can talk, though if for one second you make me belive that you are with that creep Van Kleis, I make you wish you had never been born." The girl crossed her arms before herself, watching Yugo for anything that she could use to been him an enemy. To her surprise though the dirty blonde teen before her hadn't moved since she had mentioned Van Kleis' name. Did that mean he was trustworthy?

She shook her head, of course that didn't mean anything, he was still a stranger, and by the looks of his strange blue tattoo that covered his torso and arms, markings which had seemed to emit a light barely noticeable glow, she could tell that the teen was most likely EVO himself, so maybe they had had a run in with Van Kleis and his gang as well.

The boy seemed to bring himself out of his silence as he shook his head, crossing his arms much like she did and leaned more on his left foot. "Well if anything I am probably just as against Van Kleis as you are." He turned his gaze to the floor as he continued. "You see awhile back he had managed to get my brother to his side soon after he became an EVO." He looked back up and outstretched his right hand. "Though before we continue I should probably introduce myself. I'm Yugo."

The girl looked at Yugo's outstretched hand and took it in her own rough surfaced one, giving it a shake as she introduced herself. "Amalia, and I am sorry to hear about your brother." She stated as her bright eyes showed a bit of remorse for two strangers whom she knew nothing about. Yugo smiled at her words.

"Thanks, though I can't let myself get depressed I still got two little half brother's to look after." Though Yugo said that he was fine and smiled, Amalia could see that underneath that smile was underlining sadness, she could tell that Yugo missed his brother more than he was letting on. Though before she could comment on it a new voice, one she had heard yell out before Yugo called out to her, called out for Yugo.

"Yugo get out here!" Yugo turned to Amalia his smile slightly fading from his features as he turned to the wall of vines seperating him from the outside. "Amalia you stay in here, I'll call to you when it is safe." Before Amalia could nod a light blue glow, much like the ones emanating from the marking that covered his torso and arms, covered his hands and making a circling gesture with his glowing hands a strange circular portal appeared. She watched as he jumped through and dissappeared from sight, the blue portal following after him.

Alone once again Amalia looked sat in her dimly lit sheild, listening to the fight outside as she waited for Yugo's call, in the time that passed she thought of what brought her to this. Living a life of a family in the higher ring of society she was practically disowned having turned EVO, she had asked them why she was being treated differently even though she was the same Amalia, but aparrently that in itself wasn't enough.

While Amalia was caught in her thoughts she never realized just how much time had passed until Yugo's voice finally made its way passed her thoughts.

"Amalia, it's safe now they're gone."

Yugo and Rex waited outside the vine dome and when Yugo was about to call out again the vines began receding into the ground and Yugo was able to see Amalia in a better light. Yugo smiled and Rex introduced himself, when he said that he was with Providence Amalia's eyes grew wide and she backed up, green eyes going wide. She looked to Yugo.

"You never told me you were with Providence!" Yugo seemed to shrink against her tone and glare, Rex who had been a part of providence for as long as he remembered seemed expecially uncomfortable under her accusing glare.

Yugo after a few minutes of tense silence finally defended himself and Rex. "I didn't tell you because I didn't think it was important at the time." Amalia seemed to think otherwise.

"Don't you know what they do to EVO's that your friend can't cure? Don't you know what they did before their was even a cure option? You expect me to listen to you when you are on the side Providence. If you ask me I'd rather keep running from Van Kleis than seek help from Providence."

Amalia crossed her arms, standing firm in her opinion, Rex odviously wasn't going to be much help so Yugo had to try and convince her before Van Kleis gained another EVO.

"Amalia, I am aware of what providence did in the past and I am also aware of what they do now; however I am not going to ignore what they are trying to do even if, like you, I don't agree with all their methods.

Yugo stared at Amalia, a person who seemed to have been made by the forest herself. While she stared back her gaze went from heated and firm to understanding and gentle. She looked back to the ground not meeting their gazes anymore. Yugo continued, trying to convince Amalia to come with them.

"Amalia please, I understand where you are in your views of Providence, but I do believe that what they are doing will accomplish more good in the long run, but they'll have a harder time if Van Kleis continues as he is."

Silence came between them as Amalia took in Yugo's words, not once while she was thinking did she meet either of the boys gazes. "Amalia, I'm not asking you to change who you are or the way you think, I am just asking if you are willing to help me and Providence in stopping Van Kleis for good."

Finally Amalia looked up and met Yugo's gaze, though she still seemed adamant about avoiding Rex's eyes at all costs. "Fine, but only for you, I refuse to work under Providence."

Yugo nodded then with a nudge in the side by Rex noticed something that he had forgotten. He smiled.

"Thanks now I hate to ask this of you just after you agreed to help us," He rubbed the back of his neck nervously "but could you help us take care of these vines?"

A.N. and thus the Brotherhood is complete muahahahah and again terribly sorry for the wait. And yes The vines are taken care of, and I am sorry if people don't like it cutting off there but I think it is very similar to cartoons as they all seem to end just as something is resolved.

Until next time Peace, Love, and Virtual Hugs
