It had been 10 years since the nanite event that had changed the world. Rex was now twenty years old but apart from getting older little else had changed. He was still working for Providence, still curing EVO's and fighting prejudice from those who felt that the only good EVO was a dead EVO. Rex couldn't understand that attitude, there were now many hundreds of people still living productive lives, raising their families because Rex had cured them, but even so many would rather see Rex in a cage or even dead just for being an EVO.
There was one other thing that hadn't changed Rex mused as he lay on the bed in his quarters, he was still in love with Circe but she still refused to leave Van Kleiss to be with him in Providence. Rex thought back over the years since he had first met Circe in Cabo Luna, he'd been able to keep tabs on her, seeing her briefly any number of times when he clashed with the Pack as Rex worked to thwart Van Kleiss at every opportunity.
They'd even been able to contrive the odd stolen meeting when they could just talk and spend time together, but eventually Rex couldn't keep silent any longer and he would try to persuade her to leave Van Kleiss and the Pack and to come with him to Providence. He'd thought the last few times that she might be weakening but so far each meeting ended the same as Circe refused to listen to his arguments and stormed off back to Abysus.
Suddenly a loud klaxon blared out through Rex's quarters and with a resigned sigh Rex hauled himself to his feet and trudged towards the door. Van Kleiss had declared war on Providence and launched a major offensive which had seen Rex responding to 2 or 3 EVO incidents a day for the last month. Rex was tired, not just normal tired but bone-deep, walking in his sleep exhaustion and no-one else at Providence was in much better shape.
As Rex walked into the Keep he saw Six pushing wearily up from where he slouched against one of the control panels. The rank and file Providence soldiers were exhausted, working a heavy schedule to meet the demands made by the current high levels of incidents. Others like Rex and Six had responded to every incident and were on the verge of total collapse. Unfortunately Van Kleiss had the advantage in the current situation, he could create new EVOs to send against Providence with a touch and he had no concern for their survival. However training Providence soldiers took time, time they didn't have at the moment and key individuals were irreplaceable.
Rex followed Agent Six into a Providence carrier airship and collapsed into a seat. It seemed like no time at all before his mentor was shaking him awake as they landed in the parking lot outside a large shopping mall. Afternoon shoppers were streaming out of the doors as they ran in terror from the EVO rampaging inside. Revived by his short nap Rex headed out as soon as the loading doors opened and hurried into the mall with Agent Six and the soldiers following close behind. Inside the sound of crashing and banging, breaking furniture and the screams of those who had been unable to get out swiftly led the Providence team to the food court. A large EVO was swiftly reducing the area to rubble, the creature resembled a woolly mammoth, if mammoths were covered in long, matted brownish grey hair, had six legs spaced evenly around the circumference of their spherical bodies, six immensely long tentacular trunks growing in a cluster from the middle of their back and six pairs of mighty tusks set in the spaces between the legs.
Rapidly surveying the scene Rex spotted the group of civilians cowering amongst the small oasis of Palm trees set in the centre of the ruined food court. Turning to Six he saw that his handler had seen the danger and was heading in that direction with a contingent of soldiers to try to clear the civilians out of the danger zone. Wanting to end this confrontation as quickly as possible Rex eyed the monster in front of him. As he watched its tree trunk like legs smashed the chairs and tables to kindling while the flailing tentacles and swinging tusks demolished columns and uprooted trees. One thrashing tentacle came dangerously close to whipping Six off of his feet but the agile man in green managed to duck and roll under the vicious appendage before coming up running.
Deciding that his best chance was to get beneath the behemoth Rex ran in heading for the space between two of the enormous legs, suddenly a tusk swept in from the side and Rex leapt up to land on the graceful sweep of ivory before using one hand to swing around the column and over to the gargantuan leg behind it. Rex thrust his hands and feet deep into the shaggy wool coat of the creature, gripping tightly so as not to be dislodged by the movement of the beast. Once he felt secure in his grip he struggled to work his right hand deeper into the matted hair, trying to find bare skin so that he could make contact and use his power to rein in the rampaging nanites that had caused this terrible transformation.
After trying for several minutes with no success he decided that the coat was simply too dense and instead he began to climb up the impressive limb he was clinging too, trying to find a spot where the coat might be thinner and allow him easier access to the bare skin beneath. Climbing past the flexing knee joint as the monster continued to destroy anything in it's vicinity was tricky but eventually Rex managed it and the next six feet up to the point where it joined with the bulbous body was relatively straight forward with the matted coat providing plentiful hand and foot holds. Now Rex needed to make a decision as to where he was most likely to find the access that he needed. Surveying the shaggy underbelly he saw the matted, greasy hair hanging down two or three feet. Recoiling at the thought of that disgusting mess trailing over the exposed skin of his face and hands he opted to continue climbing upwards.
Finally rounding the curve of the body he found himself some twenty feet above the ground with the cluster of massive tentacles erupting from the creatures back some seven feet in front of him. The shaggy hair coat thinning more the closer he got to the tentacles, and so far his luck appeared to be holding, the heavy coat deadening the skins sensitivity so that the creature had not yet noticed his presence. However the thinner the coat became the more likely it was that the creature would begin to feel as Rex clung securely to its back. Crawling forward he reached a point where the long, matted, hair gave way to a dense fur covering and Rex decided to try again to cure the EVO. Thrusting his hand deep down he finally felt bare skin beneath his palm. Flattening his palm against the wrinkled flesh he turned his mind inwards to push his nanites to cure the monster. Rex was thankful that his nanite capacity had grown greatly over the years since the destruction of Paradise base but even so with the continuous wave of incidents over the preceding weeks he was very close to overload. Luckily since the discovery of the control nanite the effort required to enact a cure had reduced significantly. Rex had practiced for many long hours to isolate the control and now by simply pushing that one nanite he could direct it to push all the others to follow its commands.
Pushing a little harder he felt his nanites begin to engage with those inside the nightmare creature he was perched upon and slowly it shuddered to a halt and began to breakdown. Rex suddenly found himself falling through the remains of the EVO to land in a mess of long, tangled hair next to the naked body of a slender young woman. Struggling to his feet he looked around to see a Providence clean-up crew already heading in to secure the victim and dispose of the remnants of the creature. Rex surveyed the scene before striding over to where he had last seen his handler / nanny, Agent Six. He was relieved to see the green clad man re-folding his katanas and sheathing them back up his sleeves as he handed over his rescued civilians to more members of the clean-up crew.
Falling into step beside his mentor as they walked through the destruction back towards the carrier Rex spoke softly so as not to cause alarm amongst the troops. "I'm seriously close to overload, we need to try to work in a trip to Purgatory base soon, especially if things carry on at this rate."
Six was about to respond when he saw an angry looking red portal opening behind the oblivious Rex, before he had time to react four arms, two green and reptilian, two white furred with long, vicious claws, reached through the portal and pulled Rex away. The portal closed swiftly leaving a stunned Six staring at the empty space which had just moments before been occupied by the only hope that the human race had to survive the EVO menace.
