Ok, I realized that maybe in my zeal I was a little rash to claim this fic. I don't have much written and only a vague idea of how this would end. But if you'll be patient, I plan on bringing this story to a, hopefully, satisfying conclusion. And if shamelessfangirl is reading, forgive me if I'm butchering anything.
Six reached where Rex stood in front of the orb with Smack Hands at the ready.
"What's going on?" Six yelled above the howling.
"I dunno. But I can see something coming."
Sure enough in the center of the glowing sphere a shadow grew larger. When it reached the edge, Six and Rex got into defensive stances.
A figure clad in dark brown on top of what looked like an old stealth cycle burst through the glowing orb. Six and Rex scattered to get out of the rider's path. The cyclist didn't even bother looking back at them. It sped past them, disappearing behind them.
"Uh, what just happened?" Rex asked confused.
A loud boom erupted behind them as the orb slowly imploded upon itself.
Rex stared at the now empty landscape.
"Yeah- so I repeat, what just happened?"
"Rex, Six!" Their ear pieces buzzed to life. It was Caesar. "The massive energy levels just dropped."
"Yeah, bro. The orb kinda poofed." Rex put his finger on the comlink.
"Yes, but now I'm still reading strange energy signals moving through the city."
"Let's go!" Six had a feeling he knew what the high energy signal was from.
Rex formed his Rex Ride and Six jumped on.
"So where're we going?" Rex asked.
"Into the city." Six snapped into his comlink. "Caesar!"
"Yes?"
"Can you track the energy signals?"
"Tracking as we speak."
"Can you send the coordinates?"
"Well, they are moving pretty quickly… oh wait. They seemed to have congregated in-"
Before Caesar could finish a building collapsed in the distance.
"Never mind. I know where they are." Six cut off transmission.
"I guess we're heading into that?" Rex pointed at the dust cloud in the distance.
Six didn't answer. He didn't have to. They both knew where they had to go.
When they arrived, the rider was engaged in combat with the beast Six had fought earlier.
Rex pulled his bike to a stop.
"Woah, what's he doing?" He watched as the rider shot the beast with blue energy bolts. The beast responded by shooting daggers from its mouth. The rider nimbly avoided them by flipping backwards. Then while its mouth was still open the rider shot bolts into its mouth. The beast screeched in pain as smoke came from its mouth.
Six had to admit he was impressed by the rider. But he couldn't let him have all the fun. He looked at Rex who formed his Smack Hands. Six's blades shot into his hands. They charged the beast. Rex knocked the beast back with his Smack Hands but other than taking a few steps back it did little damage. Six sliced at the Beast's skin. It also didn't affect the monster much except to annoy it.
One of his massive paws swept across the ground. Six leapt over it but Rex was not so lucky. He flew into the wall of an adjacent building.
"Rex!" Six's momentary distraction left him vulnerable to the black daggers that came from the mouth of the beast. The rider tackled him, pushing him out of the way of the projectiles. One grazed the rider's leg. The rider gripped the wound and angrily shot at the beast while its mouth was opened. More smoke came out of its mouth. It seemed to be in pain.
Six seemed to get the idea that in order to stop the monster it required getting it from the inside.
"Rex! Slam Cannon!"
Rex picked himself off the floor and quickly formed his cannon. He grabbed a chunk of concrete from the ground.
"Not yet!" Six yelled.
"Que wha?" Rex looked at Six with confusion. But Six already was charging the beast. He flipped to avoid its claws and with one swoop stabbed his katana into the fleshy side of the beast.
The monster roared, opening its mouth wide.
"NOW! In the mouth!"
Rex released his load straight into the beast's maw.
The beast seemed to choke. Its claws clutched its throat as it fell backwards crushing a car.
Rex ran over to the beast and placed his hands on it. Blue lines circumvented the monster. It began growing smaller and smaller until all that was left was a little dog. It coughed and growled at them before scampering off.
"Phew. That was a work out." Rex stretched his shoulders.
Six was not interested in the animal. He turned his attention to the stranger.
"Who are you?" He asked.
The rider limped toward them with the firearm raised.
"Woah, woah, hey, we're all friends here, right?" Rex asked holding up his hands.
"I should be asking you that question." A raspy female voice replied.
"You're a girl?" Rex gaped.
With her free hand the rider pulled off her helmet. Dark black hair cascaded down. Familiar green eyes met theirs.
Six's katanas clattered to the floor. Rex's jaw dropped.
Holiday, tired, worn, but Holiday nonetheless stood before them.
"You're supposed to be dead." She said flatly.
