Someone asked a while ago if someone can rewrite Season 3 because it was too rushed. So I thought, sure why not? Maybe one day if I have time… actually, I don't have time and I wanted to quit… but if I just leisurely slowly work through season 3 that would be ok. However, I'm not rewriting season 3. I'm just adding "episodes" to answer some questions or to fill out some of the characters more. They also put in plot threads that they then promptly ignored. Don't know how it'll go. This might be a few episodes or many episodes depending when I decide I'm done. And when I'm done, then I'm done. Hope you'll come along with me and you enjoy what I come up with.
I do not own.
Episode: Highway Through the Danger Zone
Rex glanced to his right and then to his left. Moss on the right whose face was hidden by his helmet, revved his engine. Rand, Lance, Lunk and some other riders Rex didn't recognize were to his left. He noted what weapons they were each carrying.
"Ready?" Bobo Haha's voice broke into his thoughts. Rex turned his attention on his sidekick.
"Set… GO!" Bobo waved his hat as the signal.
All the bikers shot off. Immediately, Rex pulled to the front. Suddenly, something wrapped around his waist yanking him backwards. Flying back, he caught from the corner of his eye the biker with the whip. He bounced a few times as bikes passed him. When he came to a stop, he pushed himself up. Looking up he saw the one with a whip laughing. Gritting his teeth, another bike sprouted from his lower half. He started weaving through the pack of bikers. Some of the riders had already fallen to the side, victim of various attacks from their fellow riders. Checking to make sure they were still moving, he rushed ahead. After seeing the one with the whip, his eyes narrowed. Speeding up, he saw the boy raise his whip. As the whip was thrown back, Rex reached out and snatched the tip. When the boy swung his arm forward, he realized it was stuck. Turning around he saw Rex grinning at him. Rex yanked and the boy flew backwards. The driverless bike crashed into the divider and erupted in flames.
"Sorry!" Rex yelled as he drove past. Someone fired a missile. Rex swerved to miss it. The explosion knocked several riders off their bike. Rex glanced back to see the kid with the rocket launcher. Rex made his Slam Cannon. After loading it, he twisted around and blasted it. When the kid swerved, he lost balance and fell over.
Rex could almost see the finish line. He grinned until he saw Moss pull up along side of him. He gave Rex a two-finger salute before jetting past him. Rex gritted his teeth and sped up as well.
They were almost neck and neck when they both hit the end.
Moss and Rex pulled off their helmets. Moss wiped the sweat off with his sleeve.
"Bobo! Who won?" Rex yelled to his friend.
"It's a close one chief. A photo finish." He waved his digital camera at them.
"Let me see." Moss snatched the camera and peered into the viewer. "Ah man! It's a tie!"
"Again?" Rex asked incredulously as he tried to look over his shoulder.
"I want a rematch." Moss said.
"Hey, you're on." Rex agreed.
Sirens could be heard in the distance.
"It's the cops." Moss noted. Turning to Rex he said. "I'll text you the time and place of the next race." Moss replaced his helmet and rode off. The other bikers also scatter. All that was left of the race was skid and burn marks. Even the wrecked bikes were quickly hauled away.
Rex and Bobo walked along side the road. The cops passed them without a second look. They weren't on bikes after all.
"I'm hungry." Rex announced. "Let's get some burritos."
Bobo's stomach growled. Rex laughed. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Death racing, does make a chimp peckish." Bobo grinned rubbing his belly.
They walked to the small food truck and ordered several burritos. Sitting by the side of the road they ate their food.
"Aw dang it," Rex put his finger on the comlink. "Rex, here. What's up?"
"Rex, are you out racing again?" He heard Holiday's disapproving voice.
"I'm eating a burrito." He said half truthfully.
"Well, be careful. There's been an increase of Providence agents as of late. When you're done, get back to base. " She said.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You worry too much. We'll be back soon" He said dismissively before signing off. "Man, Doc's gotten so uptight." He complained to Bobo.
"Well, we have been living on the lam for several months while you were galivanting across time." Bobo noted.
"Hey, that was not my fault. Breach had a major melt down and I was dragged along for the ride." He snapped.
"Now who's uptight?" Bobo pointed out.
"Whatever. Let's just…" Rex stopped. He grabbed Bobo by the scruff of his shirt and yanked him up.
"Hey, my burrito!" Bobo yelled indignantly as his fell from his hands.
"Shhh," Rex hissed as he pulled them both to the side of the truck.
Two grunts on Stealth Cycles pulled up to the food truck.
"Black Knight, wouldn't like us making a pitstop." One of them said.
"It's still on our way. She'll never know. This is the best burrito this side of the border." The other replied.
"If we lose track of those altered nanites, she's going to kill us." The other said nervously.
"Relax, they're not going anywhere. It's just sitting in that crazy biker's racetrack." He answered dismissively.
Rex and Bobo gave each other looks before slowly backing away slowly.
"Did you hear that?" Rex asked his sidekick.
Bobo nodded.
"Doc? Change of plans. Just spotted two grunts looking for more of Valve's altered nanites." He pressed his comlink.
"Rex, this is serious. Where are you heading? I'll send Six to meet up with you. Don't engage them by yourself." Holiday replied.
"It's ok, doc. I got this." Rex said.
"No, Rex. Wait…" But Rex cut her off. He formed his Rex Ride. Bobo jumped in back and he took off.
Because of the time of night, they arrived at the racetrack quickly. Not surprisingly, it was dark. Rex and Bobo made it onto the track. Rex used his Funchucks to light up the area.
"I thought we got all the altered nanites already?" Bobo asked Rex as they walked around the bleachers.
"I don't trust Valve to keep his word and give us all the nanites when I won the race. He might still have some still hidden around." Rex said looking around.
"Fair enough." Bobo said. "I mean Providence could have squeezed the information out of him when they took him into custody." Bobo suggested.
"I wouldn't be surprised." Rex stopped and rescinded his build. "You hear that?"
They both strained their ears. Sure enough, they heard the gate creak open and voices from the front.
"Shoot, they're here." Rex muttered.
"Why don't we let them find the nanites and then we take it from them?" Bobo suggested.
"That's a villain move." Rex said.
"Well, technically we are fugitives." Bobo said.
Rex was about to protest but after a second agreed. They both crouched down in the bleachers.
The two agents seemed to know where they were going as they strode onto the track. In the center they seemed to dig around until they found what they were looking for. Rex could barely make out what they were doing. But suddenly the middle of the field opened, and a yellow glow filled the track. From the center a platformed raised with a trailer filled with containers of the altered nanites.
"Now?" Bobo asked.
"Now." Rex jumped from his hiding place and formed his Rex Ride. Riding it down the bleachers. Forming his Slam Cannon, he shot at the agents who jumped out of the way. One of them pulled out his blaster but Bobo leapt on him, knocking the gun out of his hand. The other on the floor got his weapon out but Rex formed his Blast Caster and knocked the gun from his hands. He raised his hands to show he was surrendering. Bobo dragged the other one over.
After they had tied the two up, Rex hooked the trailer onto his Rex Ride.
"Not a bad night's work, eh Bobo?" He gloated.
"I'd feel better once we get this back to The Plant." Bobo said hopping onto the back.
"Bah, you worry too much." Rex snorted as he started his bike.
But Bobo was right to worry. As soon as they exited out the gate a floodlight from a copter overhead blinded them.
"This is Providence! Stop or we will be forced to open fire." A voice boomed.
"They're bluffing." Rex said. "They wouldn't shoot all these containers of…" He never got to finish as he quickly had to maneuver out of the way when a hail of gunfire rained down on them.
"Better but the pedal to the metal, chief." Bobo said. "These guys ain't playing."
Rex was already going as fast as he can. With the load he was carrying it was difficult to go any faster. Plus he was worried about damaging the nanites.
They raced down the road when a Providence tank appeared to block their way. Rex formed his battering ram and smashed through the divider and onto oncoming traffic. Luckily there was very light traffic and Rex was able to dodge the cars.
Stealth bikes appeared behind them.
"Maybe I should have waited for Six." He muttered under his breath.
"They're gaining!" Bobo shouted. "And firing at us."
"I realize that, Captain Obvious! Tell me something useful!" Rex yelled back.
"We're running out of road!" Bobo added.
Rex looked ahead and realized he was right. There was a dead end coming up.
"Crap!" Rex racked his brain when he heard the distinct sound of bikes roaring in the distance. "Moss!"
He picked up his cell phone and handed it to Bobo.
"Heck of a time to order pizza." Bobo said.
"No! Call Moss! We need a diversion!" Rex retorted. He listened as Bobo dialed the number. He couldn't hear what he was saying. He made his battering ram again and busted back to the other side. Unfortunately, Providence had been following along. Rex barely was able to squeeze by them. Some of the nanites fell from the trailer. When it hit the ground, a minor explosion ensued.
"Doc did say they were unstable." Rex said.
The tanks had to avoid the smoldering nanites but still managed to get closer. The cannon aimed at them.
A chain wrapped around the barrel and was yanked to the side so that the projectile hit to the side of Rex.
More bikes came along side of the tank. One rider shot a missile at the treads knocking the tank off to the side. The stealth cycles had no chance with the experienced bikers. Each was slammed off their cycles with various weapons.
The copter that had spotted them in the beginning loomed overhead. Rex made his Slam Cannon and blasted it. The blade of the copter was hit. It began falling from the sky. Rex raced to make it past before it fell on top of them. He just made it as the copter crashed in the middle of the street blocking the rest of the agents from pursuing them. The bikers with their modified racing bikes were able to ride around it.
"Woohoo!" Rex yelled triumphantly as they all rode away.

"Rex that was very reckless of you." Holiday sighed as she checked the containers of nanites. "But I'm glad you got the rest of these nanites."
"I told you, I got this." Rex bragged.
"With the help of Moss." Bobo added with a smirk.
"Shut up." He hissed at him.
"These nanites are getting more and more unstable." Holiday held a test tube of it to the light. "No telling if and when they can break down. I'm going to have to see if I can deactivate it."
"I'm sure you'll be able to figure out." Rex said as he looked at his cell phone that was vibrating. "Well, look at the time. I better be heading to… bed."
"You're going out again, aren't you?" Holiday cocked an eyebrow at him.
"What? Me? Nah. I'm a growing boy who needs his sleep." Rex said backing out of the lab.
"Just be back before midnight." She sighed.
"That's in an hour. How about 3?"
"1." Holiday responded.
"2." Rex countered.
"1:30 and if you're late I'm sending Six out to get you." She threatened.
"I'm out! See you later. Come on Bobo!" Rex bolted out of the room followed by the chimp.
Holiday shook her head as she turned back to the nanites.
I'm trying my hand at writing episodic stories to fill in the gap. If there's anything you'd like to see, let me know. I'm keeping everything canon so nothing should contradict the show or my made-up seasons. You can consider these filler episodes.
