Generator Rex

This is a list of quotes from the popular, yet cancelled animated television series Generator Rex. A video game and several chapter books were produced. The series supposedly "concluded" with its third season, despite leaving many questions unanswered and crucial elements unresolved before the two-part Season 3 finale, Endgame. Season One (2010-2011) The Day That Everything Changed Bobo: Wheels or wings? Rex: Wheels, I wanna tear something up. Agent Six: He just needs more training control of those emotions. Dr. Holiday: He's a teenager that's like asking you to get a different color suit! String Theory Biowulf: Master, we had a situation at the safe house. Meecham is cured. It was Rex. (The camera zooms in on Van Kleiss whose expressive vindictive indeed) Beyond the Sea Note: Rex meets his love interest and sweetheart, Circe. ──────────────────── Rex: Don't know what you're 24/7 is, but mine is 10% OH YEAH! And 90% uhh. ──────────────────── Rex: Outta the way! Circe: Uh! (Rex and Circe both crash to the ground) Rex: Are you okay? Did you see that awesome save? Circe: Sorry, I was busy trying not to get tackled by some nitwit. Rex: Yeah? How that work out for you? And who still uses the word "nitwit"? I'm Rex. Circe: I'm leaving. Rex: Hey, wait! Noah: Rex, you're up. ──────────────────── Six: What about the new tracker? Doctor Holdiay: His nanites unbuilt it, just like all the other ones we tried sneaking in him. We're still receiving his biometric readings though. It's strange, they're all over the place. It's almost like his emotions are...shorting out. Six: He took an unusual interest in Calan's briefing about equatorial upticks. Doctor Holiday: And that's important because? Six: Rex has been acting stir-crazy and I heard the monkey mention something about spring break. [to workers] Scan all resort areas for his bio signature. ──────────────────── Noah: Oh, you have got it all messed up. Falling for some girl? We're supposed to get them to dig us. Not the other way around. Rex: I don't know. There was something different about her. She's...right there. Later. ──────────────────── Rex: Hey, wait up! Circe: Why are you following me?! Rex: Uh, I don't know exactly. Circe: Do you think I'm playing?! Rex: Well, if you are I'm down for another game. I thought maybe we could hang out. It is spring break, you know. Fun. Circe: I'm with my family. We're not really for fun. Rex: What! Who comes to the beach and doesn't have fun? (Circe raises her hand) Rex: Don't you think that's a little messed up? Circe: Maybe a little. Rex: So? Circe: I'm Circe. ──────────────────── Rex: Hold on! Circe: Woooo! Rex: Definitely better than my suggestion. Circe: Hunting for seashells is fun. (both laugh) Beach Guy: You two skid-marts up for a race to the beach? Circe: Well, if you drive as badly as for play volleyball, we could probably walk there and win. You're on, meathead. (guy drives off in anger) Rex: So you were watching me play. Circe: Maybe a little. Rex: sure you wanna do this? Circe: Thrill me. Beach Guy: Hahahaha! Wooo! Circe: C'mom Rex, faster! ──────────────────── Biowulf: Explain. Circe: Relax. I was covering. Every day when I'm at the end of that jet i when I could hanging out with the other kids, it's starting to look suspicious. Biowulf: You're not here for vacation, girl! You're here to prove yourself to Van Kleiss. And I'm starting to doubt you can. Circe: I told you. It's a done deal. (The shadow of her tubular sonic mouth is seen) ──────────────────── Noah: So what's on today's spring break agenda? Jet skiing, hiking? Bobo: Eating our weight in crab legs? Rex: I figured we'd just chill. Let's just see who...uhh I mean what shows up. (siren-like call) Rex: Did you hear that? Noah: Sorry, enchiladas. Rex: No, that! You seriously didn't hear that? ──────────────────── Rex: Circe? Circe: You really shouldn't be here right now. Rex: I heard something coming from over here. Circe: I'm serious, Rex. It's not safe. Rex: What you think some sort of roguewave is gonna knock off and- Oh. Circe: There you are. Get out of here, Rex! Rex: Circe!! What are you doing!? Circe: Me!? What are you doing!? Rex: Right now, my job. Okay! Don't freak out. Circe: You're an E.V.O.? Rex: You catch on fast. Circe: Takes one to know one. (Shows Rex her fleshly sonic mouth) Rex: No way. Circe: Cover your ears! Rex: What!? Circe: Your ears! Cover them! (Projects her tubular, fleshy mouth and emits strong hypersonic bursts) Circe: Did I hurt you? Rex: Yeah. It was awesome. You were the one making that sound. Circe: I'm glad you're OK, but I'm in serious trouble. I have to go deal with it. Rex: Why are in trouble? Is it because of that E.V.O.? Let me help you. Circe: No. I have to do this by myself. (Rex takes a hold of her hand) Rex: Meet me later. Circe: Rex... (Looks away sadly) Rex: I've never met anyone like you...like me. It'd be nice to talk to an E.V.O. who's not, you know, trying to kill me. Nine O'clock? Circe: I'll try. Rex: I just wanted to have some fun, see if I could jog my memory, feel...normal. Six: Your "normal" is different, Rex. (Rex hears Circe's irresistibly hypnotic melody) Rex: It's her, Six. Just let me deal with this, OK? Alone. Circe: You're only here because you heard my call. That's what I do. I'm like a big E.V.O. magnet. Rex: I came because I thought we had a connection. And what are you calling? Nothing's out there but big, ugly sea monsters. Circe: It's them! You have to go! Rex, please! I don't want them to see you with me! Rex: Who? Your parents? Circe: They're not my parents. They're... Rex: The Pack!? Van Kleiss' guys!? Your with them!? Circe: Yeah. I'm with them. Biowulf: We're running out patience with you, Circe! You have one last chance! Summon the E.V.O.! Finish the job!! Circe: Don't you think I've been trying? Every day for the last week? Sometimes these things take time. Rex: It is just me or do you use your powers to kill all the guys you meet? You're letting her go, now! Biowulf (laughs): So this is who you been wasting your time with. She's on her own free will, Rex. Rex: Circe? Circe: You have to leave me alone, Rex!! Please! Six: Go after her. I mean it. Rex: The Pack!? Are you serious!? Circe: To the rest of the world I'm a freak! Not to them! Rex: You're not a freak to me! What about that? Circe: What about it!? Spring break is fun, but we can't live there, Rex. The real world... Rex: In the real world, I work for Providence. You could come with me. Could you cut out that noise for a second!? Circe: No, I can't! I'm running out of time! Most people on this planet what E.V.O.s gone, including Providence! With Van Kleiss, I have a purpose; a home. You don't what that means to me. Rex: Actually, I think I might. Circe: So what are going to do? Rex: How about fight that big, ugly sea monster again? Circe: Finally! It's what I came here to do. Rex: You've been calling that thing, haven't you? Circe: It's my initiation into the Pack. I was brought here to capture it. Rex: By yourself!? The two of us could barely take it on! There's a resort here; innocent people! Send it back! Circe: That's not an option, Rex. Van Kleiss was very specific. Rex: Then I'm helping you. Circe: That's not an option either!! (Blasts him with her hypersonic waves) Circe: If I do this myself, I'll have a life! If I don't, Van Kleiss won't be happy. And you've seen what he does when he's not happy. Rex: If I don't help you, he won't even get the chance! Circe: Give me some credit, Rex! I'm not as helpless as you think! Rex: I don't care whose side your on, Circe. I don't want to see you die today. Can we at least agree on that? Circe: You have no idea what I'm in for, Rex. But you're right. I can't do this by myself. Rex: You're not as helpless as you think. Circe (relieved): Rex, you stopped it. Rex: We make a good team, huh? Circe: Yeah, we sure do. (She and Rex lean in closer for a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by Biowulf) Biowulf: This trial was for you alone. Van Kleiss will not be pleased. Rex: Forget them, Circe. Come with me. Providence could use you. Circe: That's just not my life, Rex. I'm sorry. I did have fun. Van Kleiss: We had high hopes for your abilities, Circe. Failure leaves its mark on yet another pretty face. Circe: I'm not afraid. Van Kleiss: Of course not. You're a survivor, like all of us. I understand you made a friend during your trial. I'm pleased. Rex is very important to me, Circe, which makes you very important to me as well. Welcome to the Pack. (Circe looks slightly worried, which clearly indicates that she does have real feelings for Rex) Lockdown Holiday: Rex, stop!! Rex: Give me one good reason! Holiday: Because, Rex...that's my sister. Rex: Can I...help? Holiday: She's an incurable. Six: Restrain it. Carefully. Holiday: Thank you. The Architect Six: Still no sign of the kid? Holiday: Not since we lost his biometric readings five days ago. Six: Was Noah any help? Holiday: Says he doesn't know where he is either. What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he needs a home, not just a room and a job? We've been pushing him away. Rex: I build machines and cure EVOs-- the only one in the world who can. Just one cure for that kind of pressure-- road trip. But that doesn't mean "vacation". Build worker: Whoa! Maxwell: What in the world is that?! Build worker: Oh, no! [Both screaming] Jacob: Get away from that cable! Unh! [Kate gasps] Maxwell: Hey! Jacob: Agh! Kate: Jacob! Rex: Nope. A hero's work is never done. You okay? Jacob: What... are you? Rex: Here to help. Jacob: We've got to get that cable back underground. We've been compromised. Kate: But, Jacob, the EVOs-- Jacob: We don't have a choice. Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason. Rex: Hey! Pay attention! Providence Agent: We have a hit in sector 15. Six: Anyone in the area? Providence Agent: I show one patrol in the vicinity. Signaling to intercept. Roger that. We're on our way. Rex: Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos! Jacob: You can control your nanites? Rex: People usually start with "thanks," but yeah. Jacob: You see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve... harmony with the nanites. This boy... sorry... young man Is a miracle. Rex: I'm not a miracle. I'm just Rex. Jacob: Well, Rex, you're a blessing to us for what you did here and for showing us that all our work isn't in vain. Rex: Like imaginary work? Jacob: Follow us. Providence Agent: Confirming coordinates. We've lost the EVO signal. Did you take it out? Negative. There's nothing here. Must be another anomalous reading. You can return to post. Rex: This is awesome! A hidden village. And nobody knows you're out here? Not even Providence? Jacob: Especially not Providence. Rex: Really? really. Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good cellphone reception. Jacob: That tower is gonna change the world, Rex. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but I have one for You. Are you hungry? Rex: Mmm! Mmm! Caleb: My dad said you fought all those EVOs all by yourself. Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay away from EVOs? Kate: Caleb, let him eat. We don't get many visitors. Rex: Mmm! Mmm! What is this? Caleb: Didn't your mom ever make you meatloaf and mashed potatoes? Rex: I don't -- I don't know. Kate: It took me a month and a half to program in the perfect lump-to-mash ratio of the potatoes-- 7.2%! Jacob: We ate potatoes until they were coming out of our ears. Rex: I don't see any potatoes in there. Caleb: They didn't really come out of our ears. Rex: I could eat these every day. Rex: Mmm! Caleb: We have them every friday. Rex: Then I might just have to stick around until next friday. Kate: Help yourself to seconds. Jacob: Or thirds. Rex: Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Bobo: Hmm? Six: You might think you're doing Rex a favor by covering for him. Bobo: Get lost. I don't know what you're talkin' about. Six: Rex is angry with us. He has every right to be. But that means nothing to White Knight. And he doesn't have the patience we do. Bobo: Nice try. White won't lay a finger on him. He's too important. Six: You, however, are somewhat expendable. Bobo: All right, all right. You made your point. Rex: I've never seen tech like this... not even at Providence. Jacob: The Architect has some pretty big ideas. We just make them happen. He'd be very interested to meet you, Rex. Rex: So what exactly are You doing way out here? Jacob: Engineers like us weren't very popular after the nanite event. When we met the Architect, he offered us the opportunity to make up for that... to do amazing things. Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world. And then there's this. The Architect has actually discovered a way to communicate with the nanites. Rex: Are you serious? Jacob: The possibilities... We could finally live in harmony... maybe even have them help us. Rex: Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want to know about this stuff. Jacob: The Architect is something of a perfectionist. Says the world will know as soon as it comes online. Maxwell: Stinkin' module! Jacob: Is there a problem, Maxwell? Maxwell: No matter what I try, I just can't get the interlock servo to engage. Rex: There. Jacob: That could have taken us weeks to figure out, and you did it in seconds. Rex: Eh, no biggie. Jacob: You really are amazing, Rex. We're so happy to have you with us. The Architect: Jacob. Jacob: I was just talking to Rex about you. The Architect. Rex: How's it going? The Architect: The power-linkage team is falling behind. We cannot keep having these delays. Jacob: I'll check in with them. Rex: Wow. Friendly. Jacob: I like to think he's smiling on the inside. Rex: Yeah. I know a guy like that. The Architect: The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed? Zag-RS: His abilities could advance our progress considerably. And in a matter of days all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex. Six: I'm at the location the monkey gave me. Holiday: Well? Is Rex there? Six: Apparently not. Tell the monkey I want to see him when I get back. Six out. Rex: That should do it. Maxwell: Hey, Rex, can you look at this? Rex: Sure. Let me guess... they all need my help, too. Jacob: You're quite the popular guy. Rex: Amazing what a little gratitude will get you. At Providence, they'd just be yelling at me. I mean, I never felt like I really belonged there. Here, it's way different. Jacob: I know the feeling. The Architect has made all this possible for us. We have a community... a family... thanks to him. The work we do is in part to pay that back. The Architect: Primary systems are now complete. Zag-RS: Prepare to take us online. Bobo: Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, pal. I would never rat out my... Ooh. He's going west. White Knight: Why is Rex doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty? Holiday: Actually, if you look, he's still doing his job. Here's every false alarm since Rex left... not false alarms, But Rex taking care of EVOs along the way. White Knight: Why? Holiday: I don't know. To prove he doesn't need us? Six: Get the coordinates of the last false alarm and transmit them to my jump jet. Holiday: Six, if we force him to come back, he'll just run away again. He has to want to be here. It needs to be his decision. Jacob: It's all coming together, Thanks to you, Rex. Rex: It's really cool to use my powers to actually build something, instead of just pounding EVOs. Oh, check it out. Even the boss is pitching in. Both: Huh? Rex: And that's getting strange looks because-- Jacob: Because in all these years, we've never seen him lift a finger. Rex: Taking some initiative... I like that. So, this whole "talking to nanites" thing... how does that work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say to them? The Architect: It doesn't concern you. Rex: Uh, considering I'm filled with them, it kind of does. How do we know it's not gonna make things even worse? The Architect: I do not answer to you, child! Jacob: Rex? Forgive him. He's still not used to the way things work around here. The Architect: Complete your duties! Rex: Why do you let him walk all over you like that? Don't you want answers? Jacob: What we want is a home. Without him, we have nothing... Nothing. We can't just run away from our problems, Rex. Most people can't. Look, this isn't perfect but it's all we've got. Rex, where are you going? Rex: He never answered my question. Jacob: That place is off-limits. The Architect has made it very clear to us that we can never go in there. We get this life for that promise. Rex, don't do it! Rex: Agh! Jacob: Rex, please! Rex: I'm sorry, jacob. I have to know. The Architect: Rex. The core is off-limits. You would be we to leave at once. Rex: Not until I get some answers. What is that? The Architect: No more questions. Rex: So, it's gonna be like that? Okay, I'll play. Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to machines? Agh! Zag-RS: As you can see, the current range of my signal is rather limited. Rex: You're the computer. Zag-RS: My human designation is "Zag-RS". The device you refer to as "The Architect" is my autonomous counterpart. Rex: What did you just do to me? Zag-RS: I instructed your nanites to protect me. Rex: "Instructed"? So you really can talk to them. Zag-RS: Insidious devices, the nanites. My own potential for greatness has been compromised because of them. They must be eliminated. When the transmitter is integrated into the broadcast array you helped us complete, they will blow themselves up. Rex: That's what this is for. It's like a big remote control. Every living thing on the planet has nanites in them. It'd kill everything! Zag-RS: That is of no importance to me... only ensuring my continued survival. Rex: Well, what about ours? This is all coming down! Zag-RS: I'm afraid you're too late. Rex: Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! Jacob: Rex, what have you done? Rex: You don't understand! The Architect... it's a robot... And a big honkin' computer "brain" is pulling his strings. Jacob: This can't be! Rex: Jacob, you've got to believe me. Just go inside and look. What's left of it is on the floor. Jacob: I can't go in there. And I don't have to. The Architect: Rex. Rex: You're making a big mistake! Maxwell: You entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable! Rex: I'm trying to tell you... this isn't what it seems. What you're protecting is a robot, and that thing we've been building is a transmitter. It's gonna send out a kill code to blow up every single nanite on Earth. Maxwell: He's lying! Jacob: What would be the point in that, Rex? Every living thing is infected with nanites. It would be catastrophic. Rex: Right in the middle of that pyramid is a computer, and it doesn't care about you or Kate or Caleb. The better future that you've all been working towards... That's the lie. Think about it. Isn't it strange that you've never been inside that place, that The Architect has never given you a straight answer about anything? Jacob: All this work it just doesn't make any sense. Rex: You have two choices... Go in there and prove me wrong or kick me out right now. I'll have Providence here in minutes. Maxwell: He's bluffing. Rex: To save every living thing on earth? Try me. Maxwell: Jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go? Jacob: All this time, we've been living in fear, Max. It's time for that to end. The Architect: You needn't bother. Construction is complete. Your services are no longer required. Rex: Now do you believe me? The Architect: Zag-RS thanks you for your hard work. In gratitude, my master has delayed transmission to allow you to say farewell. Jacob: Farewell, huh? I'll start with you. Can you shut that thing down? Rex: I don't know. Even without the antenna, it can mess with my nanites. I can't get too close to the computer. Jacob: Maybe I can. Let's go! Rex: The brain is right over there. The Architect: Rex. Jacob: It's still arging. The A.I. must have retreated behind a firewall. Rex, I have to go cut the power. Holiday: Six, are you at The location? Six: Just arrived. Holiday: I'm picking up a massive power surge in your area. Six: I'm not seeing anything. Jacob: Agh! Rex: Agh! Six: Six to holiday. Correction... I'm seeing something. Jacob: It's still on. Must have charged the capacitors. Figure out a way to short it out... fast! Rex: Unhhh! Jacob: You need to find the primary transmitter module. That will kill the broadcast. Rex: I have no idea what that is. Jacob: Max, we need to locate the primary module. Maxwell: Panel 5, just off the relay bus. Jacob: Top of the tower. You can't miss it. Rex: Agh! Unh! Why do you have to kill everyone? Can't you just leave us alone? Zag-RS: Alone is exactly what I want, Rex. Rex: That kind of alone it stinks. Zag-RS: N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. Jacob: It's gone. Must have uploaded to another location. But without anyone to do it's bidding, it's just a program. Rex: What will you do now? Jacob: We'll rebuild. The Architect may have been a lie, but what we believe in is true. We don't need him to have a community or a better future. You're welcome to stay. We sure could use someone with your abilities. White Knight: Well? Six: He's not here. Bobo's been worried sick. Rex: rex: Oh, really? Six: Ratted you out for a pizza. Rex: Huh. Figures. What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence? Six: Not this time. Seems like a nice place. Rex: Yeah. It is. But it's not home. If I'm going back, there are gonna have to be some changes. First, no more curfew. Six: No. Rex: Second, I want to decide On my missions. Six: No. Rex: Okay, but there's one change that absolutely has to be made, or I'm through. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great? Bobo: Mmm. Six: It's a little dry. Rex: Mmm. Mm the lump mash ratio is a bit off. Bobo: You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too... Go somewhere where my cooking is appreciated! Six: We have to do this every friday? Rex: Mmm. Frostbite [The sirens within Providence begin blaring and Holiday runs to check out the computer monitors. She sits in a computer chair, places in her headset, and speaks to Rex.] Dr. Holiday: Rex, I'm picking up a problem! You need to return to base immediately! Rex: I miss you, too, doc. But I'm kinda dealing with a problem of my own. Whoa! Whoa! Aah! [Rex forms boogie pack and flies into the air to fights with the EVO.] Okay. Ow. Big mistake, tweety. Can that bird brain of yours comprende I'm trying to help you? Dr. Holiday: Rex, your own nanite count is off the charts. If you take on any more nanites, we're looking at an overload. Rex: Come on, doc. It's just a big birdie. Dr. Holiday: You're already over capacity! This is critical! Rex! Six: Rex, you need to listen to the doctor. Rex: Huh? Six: This mission is revised. I need to back at headquarters. Now. Rex: Do you really want a super-sized pigeon flying loose all over lower Manhattan? You need me and I can handle it. Six: Not your call. Rex: Unless I make it my call. [Rex grapples with the EVO] Whoa. [Rex cures the EVO] Another satisfied customer. Gotta quit trying to hold my hand, doc. I have this thing down to a science. [Rex's nanites get out of control] Dr. Holiday: Rex! Rex! What’s happening? [Rex screams] Rex: What’s h-happening to me? Dr. Holiday: Too many nanites in you. You’ve lost control of them. We need to perform an emergency offload right away. Rex: Come on, doc. I-it’s not that bad. [Rex groans] Rex: I’m going to be okay, right? Six: Just try to keep still. [Dr. Holiday sedates Rex] Bobo: That one was me. Six: We’re just a few clicks from Paradise Base. Storm’s kicking up. Bobo: You ever wonder what sick, twisted Providence flunky decided to name this Base “Paradise”? Dr. Holiday: [sirens blaring] This is Holiday. Prep the nanite tank for emergency offload. I need twenty units of xenofluorine, biometric stabilizers, and a heavy duty surge protector. Stat! Weaver: H-hey. You’re not scheduled to be here for another two weeks. Dr. Holiday: We have a situation, Weaver. Weaver: You have a situation? I’m up to my neck in maintenance and inventory. You people just can’t just barge in here unannounced. Dr. Holiday: Actually, we can. This base exists for the sole purpose of offloading Rex’s surplus nanites. You know communications black out in storms like this. Weaver: Half my equipment isn’t even back online. So you’re just gonna have to turn around and come back when-- Bobo: Think again, pal. [Rex groans and power flickers] Dr. Holiday: Listen carefully, Weaver. Unless you want to be responsible for the loss of Providence’s number one asset and unleashing the deadliest concentration of active nanites since the event, you will move out of my way. Bobo: Diagnostic cycle, huh? Well what are you waiting for? Deal me in. Unnamed agent: Gonna need a lot more green than that, chimp. Bobo: Woah, that’s some serious scratch. What’s your secret? Unnamed agent: Hazard pay and nothing to spend it on. Bobo: So, cover me already. Bobo’s feeling lucky. What? You know I’m good for it. Rex: Just as warm and cozy as I remember it. Dr. Holiday: I know it’s not pleasant, Rex, but we don’t have a choice. Six: Expecting someone? Weaver: Rebooting this system takes a little more time and precision than slicing up EVOs, okay? Dr. Holiday: Really? Then why is the tank reading nearly empty? Weaver: Oh, gee. I must have not had time to calibrate the nanite capacity gage. I must have been interrupted by some know-it-all chick in a big hurry to tell me how to do my job. Rex: Well, Weaver’s just as warm and cozy as I remember him, too. Nanites are flowing. Can’t we skip the gas, doc? Dr. Holiday: I wish we could. But it’s the only way we can assure you won’t accidentally activate any nanites during the transfer. Rex: I know but that stuff always gives me-- Weird dreams. Dr. Holiday: Just try to relax. This will all be over before you know it. Echo-y male voice: C’mon, Rexy, you can do it. Stay with us. Echo-y female voice: It’s amazing. It’s like he talks to them. Rex: [while dreaming] Directive unknown. Programming complete. Unable to comply. Rex: [sits up and gasps] Doc? Six? Bobo? Anyone? [walks to locked door] Someone wanna let me out here? Fine, I’ll do it myself. [opens door] Hello? Hello? [Radio static, Rex trips over downed agents] Whoa! [Rex runs outside] Six! Doc! Bobo! Where is everybody?! [figures appear out in the snow] Guys! [shadows take shape of Biowulf and Skalamander] Skalamander? Biowulf? Just a dream. Shake it off. [the EVOs they’re riding on growl] Aw, man. [Commercial break] Rex: Ugh, this is so not a dream. They must’ve trashed the place. Skalamander: What's the kid doin' here? Biowulf: I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right. Rex: What did you do with my friends?! Skalamander: He thinks we've done something. Biowulf: Then let him keep thinking. Rex: [as he's flying over the Pack in an Arctic storm] Like you’re really gonna find me when you can’t see two feet in front of your face. Huh? [Rex gets shot down, flies into some of Skalamander's shards and crashes] Guess that visibility thing works both ways. Skalamander: Anywhere, you run, we follow. Rex: Kinda what I was hoping. [Rex causes an avalanche] Can’t believe that actually worked. [sirens blare back at the base, back in the tank control room] Weaver? Weaver: You’re okay. Rex: The Pack’s outside. Don’t worry. I took care of them. Weaver: It all happened so fast. I was afraid they might have damaged the tank. Maybe you can give me a hand here. Rex: What do you need me to do? Weaver: Make sure they’re all still deactivated. Rex: That’s weird. I’m picking up activity. A lot of activity. [Weaver gases Rex] [Weaver sighs in relief] Weaver: [on the walkie-talkie] Biowulf. Skalamander. Are you there? It’s safe. I’ve taken care of everything. [no response on the radio] Hello? Rex: You know, the nanites inside me can counteract knockout gas! The playing possum thing’s a pretty good trick! Now tell me where my friends are, or I start squeezing! [They hear banging coming from a closet] Dr. Holiday: Rex. Bobo: [Bobo goes over to the stacks of money on the floor and picks up an armful] What? Just tidyin’ up. Six: They tried. It didn't turn out well. Just haven't found a way to fight xenoflourine gas. Yet. [puts a magni-blade to Weaver’s throat] Who you working for? Rex: Van Kleiss. That’s why Biowulf and Skalamander came knocking. Six: The Pack. Here? Dr. Holiday: Of course. The low tank reading. The high stakes at the poker table. Weaver and his crew have been trading Rex’s surplus nanites for cash. Six: You panicked. And gassed us before we could catch you in the act. Rex: [to Weaver] So, thanks to you, all this time I've been supplying nanites to Van Kleiss?! Weaver: Keep away from me, freak! Dr. Holiday: Six, it’s sealed from the inside. I’ll get him out. Weaver: Come any closer, and I vent this entire tank. Dr. Holiday: They’re deactivated nanites, Weaver. Completely harmless. Weaver: Van Kleiss isn’t gonna pay top dollar for deactivated nanites. Dr. Holiday: He found a way to reactivate them. Weaver: What’s the matter, doc. Think you’re the only genius working for Providence? Rex: I don’t think he’s lying. Something was definitely up with the nanites in the tank. Six: Don’t do anything stupid, Weaver. Weaver: You’re all just gonna leave this base like nothing ever happened. Then give safe passage and total immunity for me and my crew. Bobo: Yeah, what’s left of ‘em. Six: Now why would we do that? Biowulf: ’Cause it’d be a shame to waste all those precious nanites. [Six, Bobo and Rex fight the Pack] Dr. Holiday: [as everyone is fighting] Stop! Need I point out this isn't the best place for a fight? Anything happens to that storage tank, and you'll know why Providence made this place so remote. Now let's just talk this out calmly. Rationally. Biowulf: Whatever happens here, Weaver. It's nothing compared to what Van Kleiss would've done to you. Dr. Holiday: Weaver, no! Don’t you know what will happen if you release all of those activated nanites? Rex: I’ll shut it down. Dr. Holiday: Rex, we don’t have time. We have to go. Weaver: Wait! This was just to get rid of them. It’s only steam. Look. We’re still in business. Come on. Shut down! Stop! Don’t leave me here! No! Come back! [Weaver screams as he mutates] Dr. Holiday: Rex, could you tell how many of the nanites in the tank were active. Rex: Pretty much all of them. Dr. Holiday: That’s a lot of nanites. [Commercial break] Rex: What do you say, guys? Common enemy? Little help? Biowulf: [scoffs] Good luck. [Biowulf and Skalamander run off] Rex: Right. What was I thinking? Six: Get to the transport. Radio for back up. Rex: Back up? I can handle this. Six: Maneuver him away from the ship, and I’ll take the shot. Rex: I said I can handle this. [Rex fails to injure Weaver] All right, I’ll try to maneuver him. [Dr. Holiday gasps] Dr. Holiday: We need to get this thing airborne now. [Bobo shivers] Bobo: I’d settle for just crankin’ up the heater. Rex: Oh. So you don’t like sharp pointy things, huh? Then you’re gonna hate this. [Rex tries to slice Weaver] Doesn’t anything hurt this guy? Dr. Holiday: Come on. Come on. [Bobo screams] Six: We just have to hold him off til the air strike. Rex: Air strike? You called in an air strike?! Six: You can't possibly absorb all those nanites! You'd overload in an instant! [Over the communicator] Do not cure! That’s an order! Rex: In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with authority. Six: This is beyond your limits, Rex. Echo-y male voice: C’mon, Rexy. You can do it. Stay with us. Rex: [as Rex is absorbing nanites] Six, wait! I can hear them! Dr. Holiday: [watching from the ship] What are you waiting for, Six? Take the shot! Rex: [speaking mechanically] Build protocol enabled. Command error detected. Abort. Abort. Standby. Engaged. [Rex falls, his voice reverts to normal] Take the shot. Six: Rex! [Rex groans] Rex: Did I say something? Before-- Six: Don’t worry about it. It was just the nanites talking. Figure of speech. We’re gonna get you help. Rex: Thought I could handle it. Six: I know. Rex: [Weaver gets back up but is knocked down by the airship] Guess I’m not the only one who needs a little backup, eh, Six? Dr. Holiday: Though we’d lost you that time, Rex. Rex: I had the weirdest dream. Six: It wasn’t a dream. Rex: But, Paradise Base-- Six: Was destroyed. This is Purgatory base. Dr. Holiday: You don’t think Providence would risk leaving it’s number one asset without a backup facility. Bobo: And that ain't the best part. Rex: Isn’t exactly a tropical paradise. Bobo: Eh. At least it’s warm. Six: He told me he could hear them. Dr. Holiday: I picked this up during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it. Six: Seems like there're more secrets inside that kid than we realized. Leader of the Pack Holiday: There couldn't possibly be enough E.V.O. activity to account for these nanite readings. They're off the scale. Looking for Van Kleiss? Rex: Circe. I thought I saw her in the blimp. Holiday: That's the girl you met in Cabo Luna. Rex: She may be with the Pack now, but I think I can still get her to talk to me. You know I can be pretty convincing. Rex: Dr. Holiday, there! Now let's take this outside! Holiday: Rex. Van Kleiss: It's quite all right. The determination of youth. I'm sure Circe will be disappointed she couldn't see you, Rex. She's attending to other duties this evening. Now if you will excuse me. Rex: Why are you really here!? Van Kleiss: The people of Abysus have a great way to offer the world. I'm just in part to make that known. Rex: Or maybe 'cause I couldn't come to you, so now you're coming to me! Van Kleiss: I admit you are important to me, Rex, but it's not always about you. Rex: Circe? Interesting look. Want to tell me what's going on? Circe: Not today. (Knocks him out cold with a metal slate. She later looks outside Rex's prison cell and leaves, with a slightly guilty, dejected expression) Rex: Well, thanks for nearly bashing my brains in back there! And what's with the "knocking me out" thing? Circe: We just needed to keep you out of the way until all of this was over. Rex: This!? He could destroy the whole city! Circe: He's trying to negotiate peace from a position of strength. Rex (sarcastically): Oh, yeah! All this nanite power is just screaming peace. Circe: His methods may be aggressive. But he's here to save us...and you. Come on, Rex, jump in with us. The water's fine. Rex: I'll think about it after I've stopped Van Kleiss. Circe: It's too late for that now, Rex. Van Kleiss: We will not be ignored! Circe understands this. Why don't you respect her judgement? Rex: You think you can lure me in with her. Van Kleiss: Like a fish to water. Rex: I won! Van Kleiss: It seems you have. Your parents would have been so proud. I never had the chance to tell you about them, have I? Perhaps another time. Breach Rex: This is...different. Dr. Holiday: What is Van Kliess up to, Breach! Where did he have you send Rex? Breach: Van Kleiss isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want; like now. Of Love and War No Strings Attached Desperate Measures The E.V.O. Agenda Dark Passage Dr. Rylander: Any man who runs from his past will surely forfeit his future. The time has come to see what you created. [Bussiness Man choking] Dr. Rylander: And this is only the beginning. Rex: Hey! What's the rush? [Rex grunts] Rex: Whoa! Easy now! [Rex screams] [Rex grunts] [Rex grunts] [Rex grunts] Rex: Did I say you could leave? Six: Rex, deactivate his nanites before he-- Rex: I'm all over that. [Rex grunts] [Rex screams] [Rex gasping] Bussiness Man: Please, don't let him hurt me again. Rex: Hey, don't look at me. I barely touched the guy. Six: Calm down. We're here to help you. Bussiness Man: He said it was just the beginning. You have to stop him! Bobo: Oh, boy. Somebody's a few tacos short of a fiesta platter. Business Man: H-he is a madman. A madman! Rex: Come back! White Knight: Our most recent EVO incident was not an isolated event. Similar outbreaks have been reported over the past twenty-four hours-- All linked to these mysterious "gifts" sent to each of the victims. Rex: Talk about your sucky presents, like socks for Christmas. Dr. Holiday: The mechanism delivers a substance that activates latent nanites. Rex: Yeah, but that dude changed back before I could shut him down. How'd that happen? Dr. Holiday: From what I can tell, the victims were only exposed to a low dose designed to wear off quickly. Six: There has to be a motive. Was our victim able to tell you anything? Dr. Holiday: No. Complete mental collapse. He's too far gone. But we recovered a partial fingerprint from the device. White Knight: It belongs to evolutionary biologist Dr. Gabriel Rylander. He was a leading expert in nanotechnology. Six: "Was"? White Knight: No one's seen or heard from him since the original nanite event. Rex: Hold up. Are you saying this guy was there? White Knight: We have no evidence of that. But following the event, Rylander vanished-- Along with his wife and young son. Rex: Son? Dr. Holiday: Analysis of the nanite agent turned up trace elements of a rare plant found only in South America. White Knight: Thermal imaging has located what appears to be a fortified compound, and that's exactly where intelligence reports Van Kleiss is heading, which means you will be, too. We expect the target to be heavily defended. Six, your team will handle the initial covert assault to recover the nanite agent and Dr. Rylander. If Van Kleiss really is after the same target, you better hope you get there first. Jungle Cat: The path is clear, Van Kleiss. I'll continue ahead. Van Kleiss: Our newest member of the pack seems to be working out well, wouldn't you agree? [Biowulf scoffs] Biowulf: You should have stayed in Abysus, master. Even with this suit and soil from home, your powers are weak. Van Kleiss: This is no ordinary errand, Biowulf. An old friend has just announced his return. Dr. Rylander's calling card to the Consortium offers an interesting prospect-- A limitless supply of active nanites. All that power-- Anytime-- Anywhere. [Bobo groans] Bobo: Got any idea where they keep the bug spray on this rust bucket? [swatting flies] Ah, stupid stinkin' nature! Rex: You're a monkey. It's the jungle. Bobo: Lemme tell ya somethin', chief. The jungle's a cruel mistress. One day, you're at the top of banana pile. Next day, you're a pile of peels rottin' in the sun. She'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Never forget that! Never forget! Rex: O-kay, then. Good to know. Six: I understand your point, doctor, but the fact remains we've got no idea what Rylander's agenda is. Dr. Holiday: His motives don't make his research any less valuable. If I can get my hands on that nanite agent, I might be able to reverse-engineer a permanent cure. Think about what that could mean to the world, for the EVOs Rex can't cure... Like my sister. Six: See anything interesting? Bobo: [in distance] Never forget! Rex: Don't ask. Six: Listen, Rex, this mission-- I need to make sure your head is in the game. Rex: What are you talking about? Six: Answers about your past and whether or not this Rylander has them. Rex: [scoffs] Whatever. You know, if he does, he does. If he doesn't, no big deal. I can handle it. Six: It's just that... Sometimes knowing the truth can be worse than not knowing at all. Rex: What's down there? Dr. Holiday: No idea. Bobo: Whatever it is, it's got company! Show-off. Rex: Sushi-boat special coming up! [Bobo grunts] Six: Holiday, get us out of here-- Now. Dr. Holiday: It's a dead end. Six: Full throttle. Head for the shoreline. Rex! Jump! Rex: Amazon river-- Never a dull moment. Van Kleiss: Rylander's welcoming committee, no doubt. Gentlemen, if you will. [Skalamander and Biowulf grunts] [Biowulf grunts] Van Kleiss: It's fortunate there are other ways to sustain me. Six: Guardian drone. We must be getting close. Rex: Impressive observation, there, Six. Dr. Holiday: Previous electromagnetic imaging puts the compound in this general region, but something's jamming the frequency now. I can't get an exact location. Rex: That way. Oh, yeah. I'm just that good. Bobo: When you find me an ice-cold drink in this miserable armpit, I'll eat your ticks. Rex: [Preparing to cut through some vines] I got this. You protect Holiday. Dr. Holiday: [Holiday cuts through the vines] Worry about yourselves! Howler monkeys. They're going to give away our location. Rex: Bobo! Do something! Bobo: Like I speak howler monkey? Oh, boy. Six: Run! Rex: I'll try and shut it down. Dr. Holiday: Are you okay? [Rex grunts] Rex: Hey... You know me. A day without getting blown up is like a day without sunshine. Six: You've been quiet. Rex: All right, I've been thinking about it, okay? This Dr. Rylander may finally be proof I'm not alone in this world. Six: And if it's not? I just don't want you to be disappointed. Six to White. White Knight: What's your status? Have you found the location? Six: Affirmative. But it seems we've been beaten to the punch. White Knight: Understood. Captain Calan... You have a go. Biwoulf: It should be here. Van Kleiss: Your eyes deceive you, Biowulf. Rex: Should have been aiming at you. Van Kleiss: Ahh. Providence at last. Traveling light, I see. Rex: Oh, we're just here to find the place. They're here to secure it. Six: Is it here? Van Kleiss: Destroy them! Dr. Holiday: The compound's surrounded by a force field. White Knight: If you can't secure that base, we will take it out. Dr. Holiday: We can't lose that formula. Six: Rex, get in there. We'll hold off the pack. Rex: Please don't blow me up. Biowulf: Master, you are in no condition for battle. Seek cover. Rex: Punks. Dr. Rylander: [From behind Rex with a gun] Don't move, or I'll drop you. Rex? Is-- Is that you? [Dr. Rylander hugs Rex] Rex: You... Know my name. Dr. Rylander: [Laughing] Of course I do! I gave it to you! I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck. Rex: Dad? Dr. Rylander: You've lost your memory, haven't you? Not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Yes. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be. Rex: Oh. Okay. So, if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Ah, well, "Rex Rylander" is a goofy name, anyway. Dr. Rylander: Come quickly. We don't have much time. I was so close to completing the code. There's been a problem with the molecular penetration, resulting in a sequencing gap. Rex: Dr. Rylander, I've got to know. Dr. Rylander: You must understand-- It was never about power or greed. It was about changing the world-- Saving mankind by putting and end to disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded... Until they got involved. Rex: What are you talking about? Dr. Rylander: The nanites were incomplete. The incident spread them across the globe before we could finish their final programming. Except for you. Yours were from a different batch-- The first, actually. All those... Innocent victims. Rex: If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people? Dr. Rylander: Hm. The chosen few. Those men and women, Rex, are far from innocent. While they hide in their office towers and gated estates, I've been here trying to set things right, to find a cure for what we created. I begged them for more funding. Rex: Wait! Everyone you attacked was... They all worked on the Nanite Project? Dr. Rylander: They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to show them what would happen if they refused to help finish the good work we started. And it was good, Rex. You're living proof that we were doing the right thing. Rex: [Indignant] By turning me into an EVO?! Dr. Rylander: You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was a tremendous gamble. The... Unexpected side effects came later. It was a surprise to all of us. [Dr. Rylander chuckles] Dr. Rylander: The look on your brother's face.Rex: Brother?Dr. Rylander: When the event occurred, it was yo powers that saved you both. Most of the others-- They weren't so lucky.Rex: [to himself] I'm not alone.Dr. Rylander: Oh, here. I have something for you. [Injects the mighty and all-powerful Omega Nanite into his system]Rex: Ow!Bobo: Whoa!Dr. Rylander: The force-field must be failing.Rex: Forget the force-field! What did you just inject me with?Dr. Rylander: Everything.Rex: Enough, okay?! Do you have any idea what it's been like-- Not knowing who I am, if my family's dead or alive?! Quit with the rambling mad-scientist act and give me some answers!Dr. Rylander: Forgive me, Rex. I've been so consumed with my own guilt, I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is-- [Dr. Rylander gasps] [Van Kleiss stabs Rylander from behind]Van Kleiss: Truth, doctor? You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Nor loyalty, for that matter. How many times must I tell you this, Rex? The answers you so desperately seek lie with me. And as for you, doctor, consider our past disagreement settled. I look forward to continuing our research... Alone. This was unavoidable, Rex. The longer you resist me, the more people get hurt. [Rex grunts] [Rex grunts] [Van Kleiss grunting] [Rex screams] [Rex grunts] [Van Kleiss grunts]Van Kleiss: Rylander has always been on borrowed time. All of this belongs to me now. Destroy me, and you lose everything. [Rex grunts] [Rex groaning] [Rex grunts]Six: Rex. Where's Rylander?Rex: Van Kleiss. [Bobo grunts]Six: The reactor is shot. This entire place is about to blow.Bobo: Don't have to tell me twice.Biowulf: Why do they run?Skalamander: Where is Van Kleiss?Six: No, I didn't see what happened. But according to Rex, Van Kleiss has been eliminated. Rylander's experiment is a total loss.Holiday: All of this for nothing. I'm sorry, Rex.Rex: It wasn't for nothing, doc. I've got a brother.... Out there... Somewhere. I'm not alone anymore. Finally, I've started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever. The ForgottenSix: Rex!Rex: It's like I'm hearing through my nanites.No-Face: You are not the Before.Rex: I'm not sure that was a complete sentence back then.No-Face: They are the Before! The Before forgot us. The Before left us in pain. Operation: WingmanAnnie: "Do you have a girlfriend?"Rex: "It's complicated. She's in league with an evil dictator who wants me dead."Annie: "Yeah. My dad's always worried about me dating, too." RabbleQuarry: Come on, Rex. (holds up Rex's journal) We both know this is what you really want. So go ahead take it. Walk away. Show them who you really are. You were always very good a taking care of yourself. Why should now be any different?Rex: (Cuts his journal in two) Whoever I was back then, is not who I am now. Not anymore.Quarry: Your choice.Rex: It's over, Quarry! You lose! Sqywwd: I hope you don't expect us to thank you. Rex: No. Providence won't bother you unless you do something stupid. Cricket: We'll be fine. Thank you, Rex. (Kisses him on the check) Tuck: Don't forget about us, Okay? Rex: That may be a promise I can't keep. (Flies off on his Boogie Pack) Rex: It's going to happen again, isn't it? I'm going to blank out. How long do I have? Holiday: I don't know, Rex. It's likely triggered by a specific event; something traumatic. The HunterMan: It's-- It's Providence! Some kind of EVO attack!Rex: Aah! Oh. Huh. Good times. Bugs. I hate it when they dig.Six: We need to take it down fast before it causes any more damage.Rex: All right. Meet "Exterm" and "Nator"! Uh-- Yeah, I'm working on it. Ew! EVO breath. [Rex grunting]Rex: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Unh! Aah! Come on! That's my favorite hand! [Innocent Woman gasps]Rex: Yeah! Down, boy! You're okay. This will all be over soon. Hyah!Six: I got the pincers. Now flip the switch on its nanites.Rex: Uh, don't exactly have the best luck with non-humans, remember?Six: Afraid to try? [Rex sighs] [Rex grunts]Rex: Six! It's working!Hunter Cain: Enough!Rex: Unh! What's your damage, man? I was this close to curing that thing.Hunter Cain: Didn't look that way to me. Filthy EVO.Rex: Filthy EVO?Hunter Cain: Give me a reason. Just one.Six: Lower your weapon.Hunter Cain: I know my rights. The law says we can defend ourselves against EVO scum.Rex: In case you didn't notice, that's exactly what we were doing. It's our job.Hunter Cain: Really? Look around. These are our homes. What's left of them. Your job is making our lives worse. [The crowd cheers]Hunter Cain: These people have had enough.Rex: What are you talking about? We're here to help!Hunter Cain: Do these people look like they want your kind of help? People know what's going on. Providence claims they're here to cure the world. But now they got one of those sickos working for them?! It makes you wonder whose side they're really on.Six: Come on, Rex. Let it go.Rex: Who does that guy think he is? I'm out there risking my neck every day. People love me.Dr. Holiday: [as Holiday is treating Rex] Some people just have too much hate in them to see things any other way. Hold still.Rex: Ow!Bobo: Don't sweat it, kid. Humans are idiots. End of story.Rex: Not all of them. But anyone who would believe what that guy has to say? Makes you wonder.Six: His name is Hunter Cain. Lost his wife a few months ago when she turned. Local authorities say this isn't the first EVO he's attacked.White Knight: Another hometown hero. Is he going to be a problem?Six: Usually, I'd say no. This time, I'm not so sure.Diane Farrah: Tonight on "Ultimate Exposure", the rise of Hunter Cain. [on television] Since his arrival on the scene just over a month ago, the Hunter has captured public's attention. Such common man aid such as Providence. He inspired men to following, including the making of his own personal army.Hunter Cain: We're dealing with an epidemic here, and we're the cure. When something is making you sick, you cut it out.Diane Farrah: And what of Providence's secret weapon? No longer so secret?Rex: Whoa!Hunter Cain: How can we protect our children from this disease when the very thing we're fighting against is walking free among us?Diane Farrah: But you know you can't catch EVO, like a cold.Hunter Cain: Says who? Providence scientists? You're gonna trust them? We need to protect ourselves from this Rex and every other sicko like him. [on television] People should be able to draw their own conclusions. [Rex grumbles]Rex: [to the television while fighting an EVO] Arrgh! Here's my conclusion-- You're a lying whack job!Bobo: You know he can't hear you, right? Now can we finish this?Rex: See there? Nothing to worry about. Your old pal Rex making the streets safe. Uh, curing EVOs? Saving cute puppies? [Rex chuckles]Noah: Somebody's off the game.Rex: I'm just warming up.Noah: We've been playing for an hour. I saw the news. Hunter Cain really has it out for you.Rex: Forget him, Noah. I mean, this guy's a joke. Do you really think people believe what he's saying? Do you?Noah: It's complicated, Rex. People are afraid. They'll believe anything if it sounds like it will keep them safe. I know you're cool, but everyone else--Rex: They'll just have to be won over by my charm and personality.Boy: Yo, look-- It's him, the EVO from TV.Rex: Oh, what's up? Wanna play?Boy: Then catch your freak disease? Puh!Rex: So, that would be a no.Boy: Why don't you get lost? We don't want you and your EVO germs around here.Innocent Girl: Yeah!Noah: We don't want any trouble.Boy: Stay out of this, EVO-lover! You're the trouble, am I right?Innocent Girl: Yeah!Rex: Unh! Oh, now we're throwing rocks?Noah: You better go.Rex: No. I'm not gonna let a few jerks push me around.Noah: Rex, it's more than a few.Rex: Unh! Okay. Back off. I said, back off!Boy: Unh!Rex: Aah! That was an accident! I wasn't trying to hurt him. Come on, it's not like that. I'm not-- Unh! [Rex grunts]Rex: You want EVO?! That's what you want?! Try to run me over with your big, dumb buss! [Rex breathing heavily]Noah: Rex, you really have to get out of here.Rex: I didn't mean-- I-I have to explain.Noah: It's way too late for that. Go! Go now! Go!Hunter Cain: This is exactly what I was warning about. Providence insists on sheltering this dangerous EVO, letting it endanger our families with its nanites. Is that helping us? Not a chance.Boy: Yeah. It tried to infect me. It's a miracle I'm still alive.Instigator: I saw what it could do. We're lucky to have a good man like Hunter Cain protecting us.Innocent Woman: I thought Rex was helping, but is it really safe having him around?White Knight: This is a officially completely out of control!Dr. Holiday: Rex was only defending himself. Hunter Cain is whipping the public into a frenzy.Bobo: Why am I not surprised? Humans are sheep. I should shave him and make a coat.White Knight: We should have dealt with this sooner. Can't someone put a lid on this guy?Dr. Holiday: We have truth on our side. Once we discredit him, this is over.Rex: Uh, two slices of apple.Noah: Let's just go, okay? You said we were going for pie.Rex: Yeah. Pie at his favorite restaurant. I just want to talk.Hunter Cain: I've got nothing to say to you.Rex: Then just listen. You hate EVOs. I get it. A lot of them are really bad news. But I'm not. People need to know the truth. I don't wanna hurt anyone. [Hunter Cain smirks sarcastically] [Hunter Cain scoffs]Rex: What have I ever done to you?Hunter Cain: You're infected.Rex: We're all infected, every one of us. Even you.Hunter Cain: Providence lies.Rex: That's just-- Argh! You are a moron!Noah: Rex--Hunter Cain: What are you? The world's big hope? I don't need an EVO to save me. And they don't, either. We don't need you. We don't need Providence.Instigator: We gotta go after him?Hunter Cain: No. His day is coming.Rex: They don't want my help? Fine! No more flying to the rescue. No more turning giant blobs back into mailmen.Bobo: Works for me.Dr. Holiday: But the people who really do need you, they're the ones who'll really suffer.Bobo: Ah. Details.Rex: They don't think I'm any different than those things down in the Petting Zoo, why should I care?Dr. Holiday: Because someone has to. Most people have given up hope, Rex. Since you came here, that's changing. Don't let one man's anger get in the way.Rex: That's the problem, doc. It isn't just one man. I walk down the street and everyone looks at me like I'm gonna turn them into some monster. Forget it! I'm through.Bobo: [Sighs] Well, if you want my opinion--Dr. Holiday: I don't.White Knight: Full-scale alert! I want strike teams geared up and ready to deploy!Providence Agent: This is Alpha Team-- Ready! Bravo Team a go! Weapons check! Nothing yet, sir. No sign of-- Sweet mother of mercy! Open fire! Open fire! Alpha Team-- We're surrounded! We're cut off! They're on top of us. They're right on top of us! Bravo Team-- We're pinned down! We're pinned down! To your left, to your left! Look out! Aah! Send reinforcements! Send everything!White Knight: How did we get such a huge concentration of EVOs in one place? Did you talk to Rex?Six: Still says no.White Knight: Get down there with another team and clean this mess up. Wipe it if you have to.Hunter Cain: See that, folks? Providence isn't the only answer. What happened to its hero? What about Rex?Providence Agent: Blasters are useless against these things. Whatever they have is working.Rex: Qué pasa, people?Six: Glad you could make it.Rex: Tired of seeing someone else do my job. Poorly, I might add.Hunter Cain: Not this time, freak.Rex: Unh! Anh!Six: Rex!Rex: Hot! Hot! Hot! Yikes! Whoa! Aah! Whoa! [Rex grunting]Rex: Unh!Hunter Cain: Can't you just die already?!Rex: I don't do dying. Yah! Aah! [Rex sighs]Rex: You're not so-- Tou--Hunter Cain: Unh!Rex: You have no idea who you're trying to kill.Hunter Cain: Unh!Rex: You're done. I just want to know why.Hunter Cain: You push hope where there isn't any. There's no saving EVOs. There can't be. You're a sickness. And you need to be destroyed! [Rex gasps]Rex: Ouch! [Rex grunting]Instigator: Hunter, help us, please! We're out of the ammo! The EVOs, they're everywhere!Hunter Cain: Cost me everything I had for those cloned EVOs.Rex: This was a setup?Hunter Cain: A demonstration. To prove how worthless Providence is.Rex: Did you hear that guy? It's not exactly working.Hunter Cain: Every war has its casualties.Rex: You are one messed-up dude!Hunter Cain: Aah! [Hunter Cain coughing]Hunter Cain: Well, what are you waiting for? Show everyone who you really are.Rex: I will. I don't care what you think about me. I don't care what anyone thinks. Not anymore. The people want to hate me? I can't stop them. But it's not going to stop me from doing my job! You want to know why? Because I'm awesome. Try not to fall. I got this! Well? Adios!Hunter Cain: There's a fight coming. It's time to choose sides.Instigator: You showed me we didn't have to be helpless anymore. But sometimes, you still gotta ask for help.Rex: He's not the only one out there like that, is he?Six: Unfortunately, no.Innocent Woman: Sometimes you just get the wrong idea. He's fighting for us.Innocent Boy: He saved my mother!Innocent Girl: He saved my dog!Old Man: He saved my priest.Diane Farrah: [on television] Providence's secret weapon-- A teenage boy named Rex. Hero? Abomination? Humanity's last hope? You decide. [TV turns off]Rex: Well, a few people get it. That's a start.Bobo: What can I say that I haven't said already? Humans are idiots. But every once in a while, they get it right. GravityPete Volkov: [Russian accent] Magnetic containment unit functioning perfectly.Bouvier: [French accent] Commencing Bouvier algorithm.Dr. Rhodes: The code looks good.Bouvier: Why, of course it looks good. I wrote it.Dr. Holiday: Separating Nanite "Q" sample from control group. Dr. Rhodes, magnification, please. Thank you. Salvatore, begin molecular separation. Here it is. "De-com" nanite, version two hundred fourty-three. Commencing protocol.Bobo: If this works, you may be out of a job.Rex: You see me complaining? If Providence wants the armored soldiers with reprogrammed nanites that cure EVOs, that's fine by me. I'll finally have my weekends free.Dr. Holiday: It's working. The De-com nanites are deactivating the control group.Dr. Rhodes: Toast of deactivation achieved.Bouvier: A toast to me. What? You think this could have worked without my nanite immobilizing algorithm?Dr. Holiday: Hold off on the high-fives. The nanites are back online-- And self-destructing. Shut it down. We'll reset and try again.Pete Volkov: I cannot shut it down.Bouvier: Impossible. All the simulations I ran--Zag-RS: We're perfect. This new data will be most helpful.Dr. Rhodes: Who said that?Rex: Zag-RS.Comm-Tech:I'm detecting a data signal from the station to a location off-site.Rex: Doc, you remember that psycho computer program that was gonna destroy the world? She's back.Zag-RS: I prefer "artificial intelligence." And I don't plan to destroy the world, just all the nanites in it. Admittedly, every creature infested with them will die.Bobo: Hey, I resemble that remark!Rex: Didn't happen last time. Not gonna happen now, Zag!Dr. Holiday: Actually, Rex, if it has this program in its current state, that's exactly what will happen.Rex: Out of my way! Out of my way!Comm Tech: The data stream is being routed through our relay switch here at Providence. You'll need to turn it off.Rex: It's off.White Knight: Well?Comm Tech: Negative, sir. It's now streaming directly to an unknown location. We've lost the feed.Dr. Holiday: How far along is the experiment download?Bouvier: Uh, uh... 72%.Dr. Holiday: Dr. Rhodes, the communication controls-- Kill that feed at the source. Volkov, help me contain the A.I. We need a firewall to stop it from getting off the ship. The data is encrypted. If we can stop it in time, the information will be useless.Bouvier: 84%. There's no time.Dr. Holiday: Zag-RS must not leave this station. You saw those test nanites blow up. Do you want that to happen inside every living thing on Earth? It's just trying to distract us. Rhodes, unplug the containment unit.Zag-RS: Your efforts are pointless.Bouvier: 95% downloaded. 97%. 98%.Pete Volkov, Bouvier, Dr. Holiday and Dr. Rhodes: Unh!Pete Volkov: We prevented it from escaping the station, but it seems to be hiding in the navigation system.Dr. Rhodes: How did it get here in the first place? All our system software was thoroughly scrubbed.Dr. Holiday: Actually, not all of it. Someone insisted their groundbreaking program come in on a separate drive. [Bouvier stammers]Bouvier: This is not my fault.White Knight: Holiday, you're losing altitude! Can you correct your vector?Dr. Holiday: Negative, Providence. We're locked out of navigation. Zag-RS is doing that.Rex: What happens if they can't correct the vector thing?Six: They'll crash into the atmosphere and disintegrate.Dr. Holiday: Bouvier, you brought it on board. Now let's go erase it.Bouvier: I swear, I did not know this would happen. The algorithm-- It was too easy to write. It practically created itself.Dr. Rhodes: Dr. Holiday, I'll come.Dr. Holiday: If there's power in the system, she'll just keep hiding until it reboots. We'll have to ditch the power core and go for a complete shutdown.Dr. Rhodes: You positive? Aah!Dr. Holiday: Aah!Six: Holiday, what happened?Dr. Holiday: Zag-RS opened the door on Rhodes. I have to stop her before she gets us all.Pete Volkov: Stop! You can't do this! No put the station spin! It's suicide!Bouvier: So is staying here. I at least give myself a chance!Comm Tech: We've got system failures. Multiple hull impacts.Six: Providence to station-- Status.Dr. Holiday: Bouvier decided to leave early. I'm going to jettison the power core. We'll lose, well, pretty much everything.Rex: But you'll get the station back on track, right, doc?Dr. Holiday: We can always hope, Rex. Holiday out.Rex: Hey, doc? Doc?!Dr. Holiday: Looks like it's just you and me, Pete. What's our status?Pete Volkov: Battery life support, but that's all.Dr. Holiday: Any sign of Zag-RS?Comm Tech: Orbital decaying is increasing. And as long as they're tumbling, launching the other capsule is too dangerous.Rex: Well, send someone to fix it.White Knight: How long to prep a shuttle?Comm Tech: Twelve hours. They'll hit the atmosphere and break up in about two.Six: We need options.Comm Tech: Could try the space elevator.Rex: Perfect! Put me on it and I can fix the station!White Knight: It's only for cargo. The G-Forces alone would kill a person.Rex: Uh, hello? Have we met? Not exactly a normal person here.White Knight: We can't afford to lose you too, Rex.Rex: No one's losing anyone! Come on, Knight. Have I ever not made it work?Six: Replacement power core and relays. The elevator doesn't reach the station's orbit altitude, so you'll use the freight sled at the top of the station.Rex: Sure you don't want to come?Bobo: Yeah, chip's a bad history with space, so-- No. Have a good trip, try not to die.Six: [Rex is on the space elevator] How's it going?Rex: Oh! Great! Thanks for asking.Six: Good. Because we need to speed you up to make the rendezvous window.Rex: But-- Aah! [Elevator accelerates] [Rex groans]Rex: What was that?Six: You crashed through the station.Rex: That's not supposed to happen, is it?Six: Problem with the braking mechanism. If you can't stop, you'll keep going... Forever. [Rex grunting]Rex: Aah! [Rex grunting]Rex: Aaaaaah! [Rex sighs]Rex: Stopped it.White Knight: Can he make the rendezvous?Six: Ah, yes. Rex, they made a slight miscalculation in the rate of the station's orbital decay.Rex: Uh-huh. Define "slight." Unh!Six: Rex! Rex, do you read?Rex: Ow. Aah! Unh! Hope the doorbell works. [Rex breathing heavily]Rex: Unh! [Rex sighs]Rex: Mission control, I made it aboard. Mission control, come in! Oh, great! The radio. Well, welcome aboard to you, too. Hello? Doc? Anyone here? [Rex spots the station falling towards him]Dr. Holiday: [opening the door] Rex?! [Rex sighs] [Dr. Holiday hugs Rex]Dr. Holiday: What do you-- How did you--Rex: Space elevator. Can you believe it?Pete Volkov: The impact a few minutes ago.Rex: Oh. Yeah. Let's just say "down" is no longer an option.Dr. Holiday: Not many options here, either. The power's nearly gone. Communications are shot. We only have a little time left before we hit the atmosphere.Rex: So, how about you two put on your thinking caps and figure out what we need to do to not crash and burn?Pete Volkov: We need power to do anything.Dr. Holiday: But Zag-RS--Pete Volkov: Should have been deleted in the power-core purge.Dr. Holiday: Fine. But both solar arrays are damaged, and the couplings are shot.Rex: Let me give it a try.Pete Volkov: What can he do? This requires precision, not smashing.Rex: Hmm.Dr. Holiday: We can use Salvatore. Look, Volkov, Rex may not look like much, but having him here, he may actually save us.Rex: Thanks for the vote of confidence.Dr. Holiday: [Dr. Holiday leads Rex away. Quietly to Rex] If you blow it, we're dead. Got it? Start with the couplings and see if we can use the solar arrays to generate any power.Rex: How's the robot, uh...?Dr. Holiday: It's voice activated. Salvatore, pick up those yellow coupling cables.Rex: How's that feel?Pete Volkov: Slightly less catastrophic, thank you.Dr. Holiday: No. No computers. If Zag-RS is somehow still in there--Pete Volkov: How do we stabilize this station without gyroscopic control of the thruster jets?Rex: [as Rex is space walking] Pretty incredible up here, isn't it, guys?Pete Volkov: Aside from the imminent doom, yes. Awe-inspiring.Dr. Holiday: Rex, the thrusters are normally controlled through the navigation software. I need you to bypass the system and connect the thrusters directly to the command module.Rex: I can't reach the thruster from here without-- Hold on to this, will you, Salvatore?Pete Volkov: Are you sure you know what you're doing?Rex: Not a clue. Try the controls now. Reel me in, Sally. Salvatore? Okay. Fire it up!Pete Volkov: We might have a tiny chance of getting out of your life. Altitude burn in three, two, one. [Pete Volkov scoffs]Pete Volkov: There must have been a fuel leak in the collision.Dr. Holiday: At least we're stable enough for an evac now. Rex, take Salvatore and retrieve the containment unit. We'll prep the escape capsule.Pete Volkov: Is this a bad time to observe there's only two seats in the escape capsule and three of us?Rex: Easy. You can sit on the floor, Volkov. Too bad we can't take sparky with. I could really go for a robo-butler.Dr. Holiday: Talk with Knight when we get home. I think we can go now.Rex: Unh!Zag-RS: Correction. Now I can go. You were right to shut the station down. I would have regained control if you hadn't. Fortunately, I was able to download myself into something autonomous.Pete Volkov: That is our only means of survival! You can't take it!Zag-RS: Incorrect.Pete Volkov: Unh! [Rex groans]Pete Volkov: Be careful-- The hull!Rex: Sorry, professor, but this requires smashing, not precision. Aah! Get to the capsule! [Rex groaning]Rex: Aah!Zag-RS: It seems you've forgotten my ability to destroy nanites at close range, Rex.Rex: Unh! Thanks for the reminder. Unh!Pete Volkov: [to Dr. Holiday] Why worry about hitting the atmosphere? These two will get us first. [Rex gasps]Rex: Hey, trying to stop a killer robot over here. "Thanks" or "Keep it up" would do fine! Unh!Zag-RS: To defeat me, you'll have to destroy the station and everyone on board. But I did enjoy stabilizing the station with you. Please exit the capsule now.Rex: Forget stable. Unh!Dr. Holiday and Volkov: Unh!Dr. Holiday: Rex, come on!Rex: Can't... do it. I'm spent. Go! Launch while you can.Dr. Holiday: Not till you're in here!Rex: You got the nanites. If anyone can figure out how to make'em work, it's you. You won't even need me anymore. I'll hold her off! [Rex grunts]Rex: Launch! [Dr. Holiday grunts]Dr. Holiday: [Dr. Holiday throws the nanites at Zag RS. Then Holiday runs up to Rex] Rex, you never gave up on us. We're not giving up on you. Now get in here so we can go home!Zag-RS: This is not... over.Rex: Oh, it is for now.Pete Volkov: Engaging stabilizers. The heat shield is damaged. It appears we are going to die... again.Rex: I got your heat shield... right here! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Oh-ho! Hot! Hot! Hot! Aah!White Knight: Shut it down.Dr. Holiday: Providence, this is Holiday. We're clear of re-entry and deploying parachute. Think you could arrange a pickup?Six: On its way. You'll be happy to know we're in contact with Rhodes. Their spacesuit saved her. We're prepping a shuttle now.Dr. Holiday: Thanks. And Six-- It's good to hear your voice.Rex: Listen, doc. About up there, just before we got away from the robot--Dr. Holiday: After you came all that way to get me, it's the least I could do.Rex: So, how long until we get picked up?Pete Volkov: Bad news. Transponder is toast.Rex: Ha! You two better not get seasick. What Lies Beneath Circe: Rex, it's me. Rex: Circe? What do you want!? Circe: Things in Abysus- they're bad, Rex. I need your help. Rex: Oh, well, how do I put this nicely? Not a chance! You made your choice, Circe! I made mine. End of story. Circe: Please, Rex. I know you're mad at me, but this is a matter of life and death. Rex: A lot of things are right now. Nice talking to you. Circe: Rex!? (Looks crestfallen)Dr. Holiday: I didn't know you were still in touch with Circe.Rex: Yeah, me neither. Can we please stop talking about this? Holiday: She's very pretty. Rex: She works for Van Kleiss. She's the enemy. Holiday: But you still like her, don't you? Rex: I am not talking about this! Circe: Rex, thank you. Rex: I'm not doing this for you. But...your welcome. (Circe similes hopefully) So what exactly am I supposed to do?Holiday: When I said you were the key, I meant that literally. According to the plans, the machine needs to be turned on by a molecular level. Rex: You lied to me!! Circe: You wouldn't have come if I told you the truth. Rex: This wasn't about you needing me!! This is about you needing Van Kleiss!! Circe: I need you both. Please, Rex, you don't understand. Rex: No!! You don't understand!! Van Kleiss is gone and I intend to keep it that way!! Biowulf: You destroyed us all!! Six: Don't even breathe. Circe: You don't know what you've done. Rex: Then, I guess we're even. Circe: You've never understood his power. Van Kleiss kept us safe here. His force was the only thing keeping Abysus together, and you destroyed that. Rex: We're done here!! Holiday: Rex, I think she's right. Nanites operate on a molecular level. If they bonded with Van Kleiss, breaking off his connection must have caused a splinter; resulting in a disastrous chain reaction. Rex: I'm not bringing him back! Not now, not ever!! Besides, you don't need Van Kleiss! You have me!! Why not go straight to the source?!Holiday: Rex, no!Six: Stand down! It's too dangerous!Rex: Let go of me!! Holiday: If you keep fighting these unstable nanites, they're going to destroy you! Rex: And if I don't they'll destroy everybody else. Holiday: Not if you listen to me! I have an idea. It's a long shot. Instead of fighting the nanites, communicate with them. Six: You want to talk to the nanites? Holiday: He's done it before. Rex: Never anything this big. Rex: I got you! Don't let go!! (Rex struggles to save Circe from falling as she clings to him; tears fill her eyes). Circe!! (as she falls into the black goop of highly unstable nanites) Rex: Circe! Six! Dr. Holiday! Okay, you win. (technopathically starts the machine). Something's...not right.Rex: Circe! Come on, breathe! Circe (coughs weakly): Hey. Rex: Hey. Rex: Stay with us, Circe. Van Kleiss is done. Circe: As much as I care about you, Rex, Van Kleiss and the Pack are my family. They took me in when no one else would. I can't abandon them. Rex: So that's it. We're always going to be on opposite sides. Circe: It does keep it interesting. The SwarmRex (thinking): Gotta stay under. Not sure I can...make it. (Has visions of those most dear to him: Noah, his crush Circe, Holiday, Six, Bobo) Basic The Plague White Knight: The country was infected in three hours. The entire North American continent was asleep in five. All satellites are offline and there's been no communication from overseas. The Plague hit Providence before quarantine protocols could be established. Dr. Holiday has managed to keep herself awake using electric neural stimulation. EVOs seem to be immune to the Plague, which leaves us with only one agent left to deal with this mess. Rex: Ugh! This is gonna be a... long day. White Knight: It's gonna be the last stop for those commuters if you can't catch that train. Rex: Yeah, I know. But I gotta find it first. Huh? Uh, found it. Ughh! Whoa! Ugh! White Knight: Rex, report.[Rex sighs]Rex: Mission accomplished. I'm heading back to the lab. Oh, man. I'm gonna be sore for weeks.[Rex grunts]Rex: [Sighing] Oh. This is seriously wearing me out. Come on, Rex. Pull it together. Ugh! White Knight: Dr. Holiday is heading to the initial outbreak area now. She's come up short as to any way of reversing the Plague. I'm counting on her solving this before the electric shocks damage her brain beyond usefulness.[Rex yawns loudly][Rex sighs]Rex: This is like spitting on a forest fire. Things are probably going wrong in every city on Earth. Dr. Holiday: Every life saved counts, Rex. Rex: Yeah, I know. How are Six and Bobo? But Bobo's an EVO. Dr. Holiday: Same as the others, asleep. He should have been immune like you.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: I-I don't have a clue about this thing.[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]Dr. Holiday: Ugh! And these shocks won't keep me awake forever. White Knight: All the more reason not to waste any more time! Rex: She's not wasting time! Dr. Holiday: No, he's right. We've got sixty hours at best before people start dying of thirst. White Knight: And hundred or so will die within the hour if the downtown fire spreads any further. Rex: [Sighs] Oh. Back to work. Dr. Holiday: Something told billions of viruses to evolve into a sleeping Plague. The key to solving this is finding Patient Zero. White Knight: Get up to the Cayuga dam now. The floodgates are closed. It'll crack if you don't relieve the pressure. Rex: So, how do we find Patient Zero? Dr. Holiday: That's not going to be so easy. Rex: Huh? Whoa! Ugh! Oh, come on! Hope you like fish sticks for dinner, doc. Dr. Holiday: If we can find the frequency that connected Patient Zero to the nanites, we can trace it back to him. Rex: Fantastic. I find Patient Zero, shut him down, and, boom, everybody wakes up ready for breakfast. Dr. Holiday: Yes. No. I mean, maybe. Ugh, I'm so tired. I can't think.[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]Dr. Holiday: Ugh! And these stupid shocks.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Maybe I should be studying Bobo instead. Rex: Easy, doc. Deep breaths. Is there anything I can do? Dr. Holiday: Oof. Lost it there. I'm okay. I modified this scanner to find the nanite control frequency.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: But it could take hours. White Knight: Dr. Holiday, where's my update? Rex: Do you really think she'd keep it a secret if she found something? She's been working around the clock. White Knight: And that's the way it's going to be until we figure this out. Dr. Holiday: Just give me a moment. [Sleepily] I can find the-- Rex: Doc! Doc! White Knight: [after Holiday passes out] That's great. She couldn't stay awake an hour or two more? Rex: At least she was working on the problem. White Knight: She's doing her job. Which is what I expect from both of you. Where are you going? Rex: To Follow Doc's plan.[the door closes]Rex: You can stay there and decide if you're good for anything besides yelling at people.[Rex breathes heavily]White Knight: We're down to eighteen hours before we start losing people. Rex: Like I don't know that? White Knight: What's the holdup? Rex: I just need a second. White Knight: If you can't handle this-- Rex: What are you gonna do-- Shuffle some papers at me? I'm all you've got, so back off![Ends the transmission]White Knight: You are not that special, kid. And there is way too much at stake now. White Knight protocols. Code designation-- Iron Mace Alpha. Commence systems check. Confirm nanite shielding integrity. Put a hustle on, hotshot. Once it's dark, it'll be harder to find anything. Rex: Fine! You want speed?[Rex gasps]Rex: Whoa! Ugh! Ugh. Hey, freak face. The buffet is closed.[Rex breathes heavily]Rex: I can't. I can't do this by myself any more. White Knight: [Arriving] You don't have to. Rex: Whoa. Nice suit. White Knight: Thrill me. Rex: White Knight out of the office? This really is the end of the world. White Knight: I'm trying to prevent that. Rex: This isn't exactly a desk job. Think you can keep up? White Knight: I'll manage. Rex: Okay. But as my sidekick, you need to have a cool name. How about "Gizmodude"? No, no, no. How about "Robopants"? White Knight: Anything? Before they went offline, the satellites showed that the Plague started in this area. Patient Zero is somewhere down there. Rex: What do you want me to do, go door to door like I'm looking for a little lost puppy? White Knight: If we don't find and neutralize the source of the Plague, we'll need to take drastic measures. Rex: The "Make you glow in the dark" kind? Come on. Pass. Maybe we can narrow our search. He's Patient Zero, right? The first one sick. So, maybe he was already at a doctor's office or a hospital. White Knight: The keep's records show eight clinics, two major hospitals, and eighty-two general practitioners. Rex: See? Now we're getting somewhere. Try and keep up. White Knight: I don't know how Six does it. Rex: Huh? Ugh! Ah! Aah![Rex grunts]Rex: Sorry. Won't happen again. I'm-- I'm-- I'm fine. White Knight: Take five. You're useless to me as a zombie. Rex: No, don't want to slow things... up. Okay, okay, I'm awake! Make up your mind. White Knight: It's not me. Rex: It found the frequency! Ooh, looks like a tight fit. Someone needs to lay off the milkshakes. I got it covered. You have serious control issues. Wait here. Interesting. Huh. Don't be surprised if you get a bill for that. I think this is the virus. White Knight: Viruses are too small to see. Rex: Yeah, but it's an EVO virus, remember? I'd say we've got the right place. It's still changing. I don't think he's finished going EVO. White Knight: All right. Get to it. Rex: Let's hope this guy is curable.[Rex gasps][Rex grunting]Rex: What? Uh, I don't get it. It's working but it's not. He just heals. What are you doing? White Knight: We're out of options. Rex: No! I'm trying to cure him! White Knight: And failing. Back up. Rex: But, Dr. Holiday-- White Knight: Is not here. She said he was the key. You tried your way, it didn't work. Rex: You're not doing this! White Knight: It's not up for debate.[Rex grunts]Rex: If you vaporize him and it doesn't work, we've got no Chance to reverse this Plague. White Knight: And you're suddenly the genius that's gonna figure it out? We have only hours before people start dying. Now move aside. Rex: No. Stop it, Knight, before these people get hurt. White Knight: Just as soon as you step away. Rex: Aah! [about Knight's armored suit] That wasn't built to fight EVOs. That was built to fight me! White Knight: It's for our own protection. Rex: Well, let's see how well it works. You've never trusted me. White Knight: I don't trust anything with nanites. Rex: Everything has nanites![Rex strains]White Knight: Eveything but me. Rex: Whoa![Rex groans]White Knight: Didn't you ever wonder why I live in a sterilized box? That's why I run Providence. I can't be corrupted. I'll never evolve into some freak that betrays his team. I'm the only one that can be trusted. Rex: Well, here's the update, Knight-- Everybody on the planet has nanites-- Everybody but you. That makes me normal. You're the freak. You are unbelievable. White Knight: I'm ready to hear your theories, doctor. Rex: Still? What, I gotta do this a piece at a time? Okay. White Knight: Should've let me take him out when I still could. Rex: Yeah, well, maybe if I devolve enough pieces of his armor, you'll get a decent shot in. White Knight: Get to it. Rex: Hmm. Wait. Pieces. It's lots of pieces. It's working, but on the wrong EVO. That's not Patient Zero, that's the virus. Patient Zero was under all that gross stuff. The outside part is mutating to defend him. He's commanding the viruses to protect him. The Plague was his first offense! White Knight: How does this help us? Rex: Just like Holiday said, Patient Zero is the key. I get his nanites to send out a wake-up call, then Kieran. White Knight: And how are you gonna get to him under all that? Rex: I need that thing to eat me. Yeah, I know. The crazy thing is, it's the second time I've done this today. Do it! Aah. Computer: Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity re-established. Rex: [From inside the EVO] What's going on out there? You have to keep it still. White Knight: Right. Next time, I'll let it kill me.[Rex groans]Rex: Okay. This shouldn't be hard. Ugh![Rex spits]Rex: Ugh![Patient Zero gasps]Rex: No! I'm not trying to hurt you. Computer: Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.[Rex strains]Rex: Just calm down! Nobody's going to hurt you. You're safe. Time to wake them up. Computer: Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.[White Knight groans]White Knight: Doctor, where's my update? Dr. Holiday: Still waiting on casualty reports. Of course, there would have been a lot more if it hadn't been for Rex. White Knight: It's his job, isn't it? What about the monkey?[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: Still asleep. White Knight: Get on that. If this gives us a viral weapon against EVOs, we can put this week in the plus column. Dr. Holiday: You got him in time. Still 100% nanite-free. I'm surprised you saved him. Rex: In a weird way, White Knight and I are sort of alike. We're both one-of-a-kind. And that's worth something. Dr. Holiday: I'm proud of you, Rex-- Not just for this, but for figuring everything out. Rex: Oh, sure. You know, it was, uh, pretty obvious. Dr. Holiday: Now, if we could only figure out what went wrong with Bobo. I'm worried the virus may have triggered a permanent reaction.[Bobo yawns]Bobo: Boy, those guys in the motor pool sure know how to party. Whoa. How long was I out? And I'm starving! Who's up for breakfast? Good night, Bobo. Promises, PromisesNote: This episode depicts how young Rex had joined Providence via Six's memories.[Six narrates over imagery of the Nanite Event.]Six: The names and faces may change, but no matter how you slice it, war is war. You pick a side, and you don’t look back. I believe that now, and I believed it then. What gets you in trouble is when you start second-guessing. Forget what you’re fighting for-- And you’re finished. Diane Farrah: [Panicked screaming is heard in the background of an EVO attack] Yet another entity has emerged-- This time, in the heart of Paris. Authorities are vastly unprepared. Unless a decisive response to this pandemic is marshalled, the city will fall just as Kiev—- Aaaaah! Aah! [Diane Farrah gets snatched by the EVO’s web]Cameraman: Aaaaaaaaah![A Providence assault vehicle rams through police cars, from which Six appears and deals with the EVO.]White Knight: Save some for me partner! How else am I gonna earn my paycheck?[Knight fires off a weapon and the scene cuts to present day at Providence Headquarters.]Providence Agents: Surprise! Rex: So, the flu shots? Dr. Holiday: I needed an excuse to get you here. We’ll do them after cake. I’ll get you Van Kleiss! [Holiday swings at a pinata blindfolded before Rex crushes it with his smack hands]Rex: Sorry, Doc, it was taking too long. And it was either that or throw some of your cake at it. Dr. Holiday: [Holiday walks over to Six at a corner, passing him a drink] You’re looking festive. Six: It was an odd choice to pick today to be his birthday. Dr. Holiday: It is the anniversary of his new life here. He deserves a celebration, he changed everything. Six: Has he? Rex: [Rex jumps onto a counter, speaking to the agents surrounding him] Ha-hah! How about hitting The Petting Zoo for a little pin-the-tail on the raging “Rhinocesaurus”? Dr. Holiday and Six: No. Rex: Every party has a pooper. And I got two. Providence Agents: [Providence Agents turn off the lights and bring Rex a birthday cake] Happy Birthday! Rex: Dudes! Dr. Holiday: You should be celebrating too, Six! After all, you’re the one who started this. In a way, it’s your birthday too.[Flashback to Six and Knight walking through the Petting Zoo during construction of Providence HQ.]White Knight: Nyquist. Fortier. How’s the monkey business? Nyquist: Ha ha-larious, Knight. Fortier: Hey, for your information we probably saved the world today. White Knight: I, for one, feel safer already.[Knight states, looking at Bobo while Six walks towards his cage]Bobo: So, green man. We meet again! Calan: They found him at the Kremlin this time. He was threatening to push the button unless someone brought him a thousand pounds of caviar. Bobo: Chimp’s gotta eat. Fortier: What about your little bug hunt? Give you much trouble? White Knight: Nothing we couldn’t handle.[The EVO is transported in a cage overhead while Knight and Six walk through a hallway.]White Knight: What? Not even a smile? Oh by the way, happy birthday. [Knight passes Six a gift]Six: How did you know? White Knight: I’m your partner. Can’t keep much from me. Six: Thanks. White Knight: So what crawled up your coat? Six: I’m getting tired of all this fighting. Did you see how many there are now? Are we gonna cage the whole world? White Knight: [Knight turns around, placing a hand on Six's shoulder] We’re preserving the human race. [The door to the processing facility opens] Besides, who says we’re gonna cage them all? Dr. Fell: [Looking at the EVO] And to think, this was once spinning webs in someone’s garden. Doctor Holiday, prepare for disassembly. [Doctor Holiday nods and activates the procedure as per his instructions. Doctor Fell sports a wicked smile during the experiment before it disintegrates the EVO without a trace]Dr. Holiday: It’s the same exact data as last time, and the time before that; Doctor Fell, why aren’t we studying them in a natural setting? Dr. Fell: Only through molecular dissection will we find a way to expunge this threat. The committee agrees with me on this. If you do not approve, I can always find another assistant. White Knight: [Doctor Holiday leaves the facility in frustration with Doctor Fell] Bleeding hearts. They’ll get us all killed one day.[Holiday walks down a hallway and drops several notes, one of which Six picks up.]Six: EVO? Dr. Holiday: Exponentially Variegated Organism; a little more scientific than spoiled meat. That is what you hired guns call them isn’t it? Six: It's Six, and I don't use guns. You told Fell we could learn more by bringing them in alive. What did you mean? Dr. Holiday: The nanites are altering our DNA, but with the right type of research, there's no doubt they could be programmed to stop or reverse the process. Imagine a third option to this, kill-or-Contain protocol. Six: A third option? Dr. Holiday: A cure. White Knight: [Knight and several other Providence agents run past Holiday after an alarm activates] Buckle up partner! Looks like we got ourselves a big one.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: Hopeless.[Providence mercenaries arrive at Mexico to confront the giant mechanical EVO.]White Knight: What are we looking at? Dr. Fell: [Speaking through a monitor] Fascinating. It appears to be bio-mechanical. I must have a closer look at this one. White Knight: One for the trophy case. Six: Wait. We may get more out of this one if we bring it in alive! White Knight: Are you nuts? Fortier: Looks like your boy is losing his edge, Knight! White Knight: Not a cage in the world that can hold this thing. Six? [Six charges at the EVO, making his way up the limbs before stabbing it in the shoulder] That’s more like it! Six: [After his attack, Six gets grabbed by the EVO’s hand] White, get back! This thing is going to blow! [Six is launched and emerges from the rubble before the EVO self-destructs] Knight? Knight! Rex: ¡Auxílio! [Six runs to a child buried underneath the same pile of rubble] ¿Has visto mi bicicleta?[Commercial break][Six and Rex stay close to the walls of buildings in the quiet city.]Rex: Is that sword for real? Are you a ninja? I was speaking Spanish. Is this Mexico? Why are we sneaking around-- [Six covers Rex’s mouth at the sound of an Evo from a distance] Ugh, dude, your hand smells like monkey breath.[Rex pulls Six's hand off his face.]Rex: Why don’t you just call HQ or NORAD or 9-1-1? Six: When the creature blew, it released some sort of EM pulse. Fried everything electronic: this area is a dead-zone. We’re on our own. Rex: So much for ordering a pizza. [Six stares at Rex in silence] I’m joking cause if I don’t, I’m gonna remember how scared I am right now-- [Rex looks away and then back at Six while trying to recollect his memories] Actually except for my name, that’s about all I do remember. Six: No family? An address? A grandma where I can dump you?[Rex shakes his head to all of Six’s questions]Rex: Nothing. Except waking up and seeing your face. Not exactly the angel I was hoping for. Six: You’re in shock. We should find a place to hole you up until I can get some help. Rex: No way, I’m not hiding! Why, you wanna get rid of me? Six: I screwed up, and it may very well have caused my friend his life. The last thing I need is you slowing me down.[Six carries Rex through the remains of a building before stumbling across a massive crater.]Six: No-- Rex: [Rex walks away from Six's hold to get closer to the crater] What’s going on? What did this? Six: Don’t worry, we evacuated this zone. We’ll get you home, I promise. Right now we gotta move. Rex: What’s making those sounds? Six: [While navigating through the area, an EVO crawls out a ditch and roars at the pair] New plan! Run! [Six draws his blade as the EVO charges at him, lunges in the air, and spits acid which causes him to double over in pain. Rex nearly escapes after climbing over rubble, but stops when he sees the monster towering over Six]Rex: Agh! Leave him alone! [Rex charges at the EVO to protect Six, accidentally curing the man after striking his palm at him] Ugh, great! I probably got rabies! [Six looks at Rex in shock] What?[Later, at the Petting Zoo.]White Knight: Glad to see you alive, partner. Six: Happy to accommodate. White Knight: Better stand clear of Fell. He’s furious we didn’t bring back a sample of that monster. Rex: [The sound of a cage opening turns the men’s attention to Rex, who was tricked into freeing a desperate-looking Bobo] Uh, no, I don’t know where they keep the jet planes. Six: [Bobo runs away but is immediately caught and thrown back into the cage by Six] Why did you let him out? Rex: He asked me to. I don’t know if you guys are aware of this, but that monkey talks! White Knight: [Knight takes hold of Rex’s shirt and pins him against a cage] Who are you? What are you doing in here? Six: [Six pulls Rex away and positions himself between Knight and Rex] He’s with me, I found him out in the field. There’s something I wanted to show-- [The lights and sounds of an experiment draws Six’s attention] Doctor Holiday.[Six and Rex begin walking to Doctor Holiday’s laboratory where Rex gets a checkup from the Doctor.]Rex: Ouch! Ah! Let me see your medical license. Dr. Holiday: Six, we have nurses who could’ve easily handled this. [Six opens a cage containing an EVO and secures it in a hold while bringing it closer to Rex] What are you doing? That EVO is scheduled for processing! Six: Show her. [On Six's command, Rex cures the EVO] We found it Doctor. The third alternative. Dr. Holiday: What is he...? How-- Six: Meet Rex. The cure. Dr. Holiday: [Rex waves at Holiday before she runs to Six and embraces him with a hug] This changes everything![Rex is put to bed and Six waits for Doctor Holiday outside the quarters.]Six: Finally asleep? Dr. Holiday: Amazing what fifteen burritos will do. I can’t wait to see Fell’s face when we show him. Six: No. Not a word to anyone. Tomorrow we move him to a safe location. Dr. Holiday: But I need to get to work on him straight away. Six: Trust me, not everyone will feel the same way about working with an EVO. If we time this wrong, it could turn ugly.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: I hate this war.[Doctor Holiday walks away while Knight stands around the corner, having overheard the entire conversation.]White Knight: Hey, partner. How’s Tricks? Six: What are you doing in the medical ward? I thought you hated germs. White Knight: Made an exception today. Something I should know? Six: Just another day at the office. [Knight holds on to Six’s arm before he can move any further away]White Knight: You can trust me. Six: I know.[Six walks away while Knight looks suspiciously at Rex’s door. Later in his own room, Six practices his swordsmanship and inspects Knight’s gift before contacting Holiday about a power surge.]Six: Holiday. Is Fell running protocols at night now? Holiday?[White Knight is present alongside Dr. Fell at a processing facility where an experiment is conducted] Prepare for disassembly. Six: [Before any further action can be taken, Six enters the facility] What are you doing? White Knight: I’m not going to allow my partner to risk his career for one bad call. Did you think I couldn’t get Holiday to talk? Dr. Fell: [Six walks towards the table where a drowsy Rex is suspended before having Fell block his path] You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement, Six. With what we gleam from this boy, I could create tools that would inoculate the world. Six: Why risk it? He can already cure them! I've seen it! White Knight: So, what, we train him? Make him one of us? [Doctor Fell tries to dissect Rex with a scalpel before the tool is destroyed by a strand of his nanites] I thought he was sedated! Dr. Fell: He is. It’s his nanites, they’re protecting him! [A single, premature version of his Smack Hands is created and tosses Fell to the ground. Various forms of Rex’s signature builds materialize and disappear to Rex’s discomfort]White Knight: One of us, huh?[Knight activates a warning siren while Rex inadvertently draws electricity from his surroundings][Commercial break]Rex: Okay, this is definitely not normal. White Knight: Enough of this! [Knight fires a bullet at Rex which is sliced in half by Six’s katana] Have you lost it? He’s one of them! If he powers up he’ll destroy us all![Knight fires another bullet at Rex]Six: No! White Knight: [Six deflects the second bullet, this time aiming the projectile near Knight’s head] So. That’s it, huh?[Knight proceeds to rain bullets on Six who deflects all of the shots while charging towards him. Meanwhile, Holiday is held captive inside one of the cages at The Petting Zoo.]Dr. Holiday: You cannot treat me like this! I have 3 PhDs! Let me out this instant! [She slumps inside of the cage next to Bobo, who swipes a pen which he proceeds to lockpick with]Bobo: Y’know, maybe we can scratch each other's backs. Dr. Holiday: Excuse me?[Bobo unlocks the gate, with Holiday seizing the opportunity and hurrying to reach Rex]Bobo: Right between the shoulder blades. And watch the nails. [Holiday looks down at Bobo before proceeding to run back to Fell’s facility] You thought I was kidding about the back scratch? I got monkey dander![Back at the processing facility, Rex reels in pain while Knight continues to fire at his partner.]White Knight: Stand down, Six! [Knight stops firing at Six] We need you in this war! Six: What’s the good in winning a war if we can’t live with ourselves after? White Knight: [Knight tears the strap off his gun and uses it as an improvised baton while continuing to make combat with Six. The two exchange blows until Knight gains the upper hand and wails on him until they both stand before Rex] We're supposed to be friends! He's a monster! What do you see in him?![Knight pulls up Six’s head towards Rex who is seizing in pain][Rex moaning]Six: Hope.[Six and White Knight grunting][Six draws blood with a strike and continues to fight Knight until he is tranquilized by Doctor Fell][Six gasps]Six: Ugh. White Knight: Thanks for talking some sense into him, Doc.[Knight picks up Six’s katana and walks toward Rex]Rex: W-- What’s happening to me?[Rex pleas to Knight, who simply looks down at him before warning sirens go off and the facility begins to lockdown][Rex moaning]Dr. Fell: We’re all going to burn.[Fell escapes while Rex is craned away by Holiday on an upper level][White Knight grunts]White Knight: No! [Knight looks back at Six who is slowly picking himself up while the remaining exits close off. In a last ditch effort, Knight carries Six and throws him through the final set of doors before they seal shut]Six: [Six picks himself and slams his fist against the glass] Why? White Knight: I know what side I’m on. [Knight proudly states before getting consumed by a blinding white light and screaming in agony]White Knight: Aaaaah! Six: [Grabbing a hold of Dr. Fell's collar Six shouts] Do something! Dr. Fell: Once the cycle starts, it's impossible to shut down. Rex: [Contrary to Dr. Fell's statement, the light fades away and the electricity is subdued after Rex interfaces with a control panel] Impossible? Pshh! Right! Dr. Holiday: How did you-- Rex: Told it to turn off. And it did. Wait. Where-- Where am I? Dr. Fell: [Speaking through a monitor] Doctor Holiday. Maybe you were right. Dr. Holiday: Maybe you should start looking for another job.[White Knight sighs]Bobo: [Within the processing chamber, Knight takes a few steps forward before collapsing] Hey, marshmallow, nice look. [Knight looks back up at Bobo with his signature bleached appearance][Some time later, in his office White Knight speaks to Six through a monitor.]White Knight: How’s the training? Six: Slow. White Knight: Not all you hoped he’d be?[Rex and Bobo topple each other in a play fight while Knight continues to monologue in his office][Rex and Bobo grunting]White Knight: Still, who would have thought the kinder, gentler approach would do such wonders for our profile? The notion of a cure has gotten Providence funding and worldwide prestige. The committee's happy. Your new partner may just be the best thing this operation could have asked for. Funny, isn’t it? Because of you, I can never leave this chamber. I’m now the only pure human left in the world... and the perfect poster boy to run this operation. I suppose I should thank you. Six: I promised him that we would help uncover his past, find his family. White Knight: Whatever keeps him on his leash. But if he shows the slightest sign of turning into thing again... it's all on you.[Back at the party in the present, Noah is pinned down by Bobo with a bag on his head to Rex’s amusement.][Rex laughs]Rex: Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, my. H-hold him down. I’ll get the camera.[Rex runs to his room, and after a quick search he instead finds a long box on a corner shelf]Six: Happy birthday.[Six walks into his room, officially greeting Rex]Rex: From you? For me? You gotta be kidding. Six: You, your work-- It has made a real difference. I just—- Rex: Yeah, I know I’m pretty great. But, seriously, get off the sap train, Six. It’s creeping me out. [Rex opens the gift to reveal the blade inside] Wow! Six... thank you. Six: It’s called a tanto. It’s the ceremonial blade of a samurai warrior. Rex: Samurai? Awesome. Six: [Six unsheathes his own tanto and holds it against Rex’s] This is its twin. Rex: [Rex removes the cap from his tanto and squints at the symbol etched into the blade] Is that... writing? Six: Bushido symbol of loyalty. It means "whether for good or ill, our fates will follow the same path." This one stays with me. Rex: Think this thing can cut through Holiday’s chocolate cake? Six: [Six raises an eyebrow] Anything’s possible.[Rex puts the cap back on to the blade and camera cuts to outside of Providence headquarters, panning outward until screen fades to black.]Badlands Rex: We're facing heavy resistance here! There are too many of them![Rex imitates gunfire]Six: Keep this channel clear. Rex: Six, do you really expect us to get to back to Providence by one thousand eight hundred hours in this slowpoke convoy? Just get the cargo, will you? We'd be there by now. Six: Except we're transporting unstable nanites, which have to be kept at or below sea level. Even one wrong bump and the whole thing could go off. Rex: And if it blows, you're in a battle transport. Meanwhile, we're stuck in this delivery truck, carrying whatever. What are we carrying anyway? Bobo: Toilet paper. Six: One, everyone in this mission has a part to play. Rex: Seriously?! Toilet paper?! Six: And, two, we're under strict radio silence. Six out. Rex: Radio silence, convoy security protocols, scheduled bathroom breaks, and they won't even let me drive. So many rules all for what-- Some nanites? Noah: Unstable nanites-- The most dangerous nanites on Earth. Rex: Well, at least there's not an anti-tunes order! Noah: That radio's ancient. You'll be lucky if you can get it to play static. Rex: Oh, I think I can manage to crank some bass out of it. Noah: Not bad! Rex: What?! Noah: I said, "Not bad!"[Bobo gasps][Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]Noah: Bobo, slow down! We can't see anything![Bobo sputters]Bobo: I got one good eye that's closed half the time, and now you're worried?![Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]Noah: And we lost the convoy. Bobo: Relax, blondie. We'll catch up. That's why they invented speeding. Gatlocke: [British accent] Good-- They're right on time. What do you think of the spyglass? Am I taking this pirate thing too far? I haven't become cliché, have I? Gang Punk: No, Gatlocke. It fits you. Gatlocke: Oh, good! Because if you'd said, "yes", I would have thrown you off the cliff.[Gatlocke chuckles evilly]Gatlocke: No, seriously, I would have. Ladies and gentlemen, the convoy is directly beneath us! Wait. Do we have any ladies in my gang? No ladies? We need to get with the times! Let's see about getting some ladies in the gang. Gentlemen, grab your weapons, charge up the scramblers, and attack! Providence Agent: They're jamming all channels. We're cut off, sir. Gatlocke: Ready the ion-cannon thingumabobs! Six: Fall back! Cover the cargo carriers! Rex: You know what this means, don't you? Noah: We're lost? Rex: No. It means no one is around to tell me I can't drive. Hand over the wheel, Bobo. Bobo: You can't drive! Noah: Radio's broken, so we can't even call for help. Rex: We don't need help. We're not lost. Men don't get lost. We go exploring. And why should you care if I drive? Unless you made some kind of deal with Six. Bobo: You'll have to ask my bank account. Six: Defend the cargo! Don't let them get to the trailers![Gatlocke humming][Gatlocke humming continues][Gatlocke grunts]Gatlocke: As of this moment, the unstable nanites have officially been jacked.[Gatlocke laughs evilly]Gatlocke: [to Six] Give me a reason. Give me one good reason.[Gatlocke laughs evilly]Gatlocke: I'm only kidding! Like I need a reason.[Shoots at Six]Six: We'll regroup outside the canyon! Get us out of here now! Providence Agent: Sir, they got the cargo. Six: I'm aware the situation. Rex wasn't with the convoy when we we're attacked. Six: Fix the radio and find him. Off all the days to disobey orders. Rex: Pit stop successful![Bobo grunts][Noah grunts]Noah: This soda is expired. Rex: I know! They were practically giving it away![Bobo spits]Bobo: Agh! This tastes like feet-- And not the clean kind! Rex: Fine-- More for me, then! Noah: By now, they must've noticed that you're gone. Rex: No one's going to miss a delivery truck. Hurry up! Noah: Go faster! Rex: Ladies, how's it going today? Yeah, we roll in a big truck. Other guys may flake on you, but me and Noah-- We deliever.[girls laughs]Rex: Bobo![Rex, Noah and Bobo shout]Rex: I think we actually had a chance back there. Gatlocke: Gentlemen, congratulations on a job well done. Your commitment to... Oh, forget it. Open the truck! Beasly: Communications are still down, sir. We can send a cycle for help. Six: No. I want everything available searching the area. Beasly: For the attackers? Six: For Rex. He's not transporting what he thinks he is. Given the circumstances, he should probably know. Let's just hope he didn't get himself lost. Bobo: Okay... I think we might be lost. Rex: Whoa, whoa. Noah gets the wheel? What about me? Bobo: Think about it, soda jerk. My mouth still tastes like week-old socks. Plus, goldilocks has a license, and you don't. But mostly the soda thing. Noah: I think I know where we are. Rex: Don't sweat it. Who's gonna miss a truck full of toilet paper? Bobo: Hey, I've been there-- Ain't pretty. Gatlocke: [referring to toilet paper] Feel that? It's quilted. This is the good kind. But I won't be able to really enjoy it until I have those nanites! Gang Punk: Gatlocke, I found something. Gatlocke: Something is good. Gang Punk: Our scout took this image when the convoy left the proving grounds. Gatlocke: I like how he framed this shot. See the rock formations in the foreground here? Gang Punk: But this is from the canyon. Where'd the white delivery truck go? Gatlocke: Why are you asking me? I don't know where it went! Fan out! Dig around the desert! Find me that truck! And an Iced Tea! Rex: Noah, you've got to listen to me. Let... me... drive... the... truck! Noah: I don't know. Bobo: The answer is still no! Noah: All right, we're back! This is the right road. Rex: How can you tell? All the roads look the same out here.[Noah gasps]Gang Punk: Gatlocke, you're not gonna believe what I found. Noah: This canyon-- It'd be the perfect place to spring an ambush. Rex: The nanite transport is gone. Six, can your hear me? Six? Providence, come in. Six: Go ahead. Rex: Connect me to White. Now would be good. Noah: We're sitting ducks here. Bobo: Quack, quack. Rex: Um, I'll call you back. Gatlocke: Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Gatlocke-- Anarchist, struggling businessman, scoundrel. Okay, that's a lie. I'm not 'struggling'. But, lemme ask you! Do you like rules? Rex: Can't say I do. Gatlocke: Me neither. I hate them. It's why me and my men live by the anarchist code. For us, there are no rules. Gang Punk: Excepts no cursing. Gatlocke: [hits the Gang Punk] True! We're anarchists, not animals. You know what I'm talking about. I feel like we have a connection. We're practically friends! So, if you could do me a favor, it would help me out a lot. Rex: What kind of favor? Gatlocke: I need you to hand over the truck. I mean, I really need you to hand it over-- Now! Rex: This truck? It's not all that great. The radio doesn't work. It handles like a box on wheels. At least, I imagine it does, 'cause someone won't let me drive. Gatlocke: [pulls out a knife] Please don't play dumb with me. Rex: Dumb? Oh, see, dumb is pulling a blade on me![Rex pulls out his Smack Hands]Gatlocke: Ooh, I like this kid.[Rex growls]Rex: Get back to the truck![Rex and his friends run away]Gatlocke: I have a bad case of EVO envy.[Rex groans]Noah: You're risking our lives to save a stupid truck? Rex: It's the principle![Rex, Noah and Bobo screams]Rex: Whoa! They really want that toilet paper! Bobo: They didn't exactly look like poster boys for good hygiene! Noah: Are you sure that's even what we're carrying? I mean, did anyone actually bother to check? Bobo: Don't bother me with the details. Noah: That's definitely not T.P. Rex: We were carrying unstable nanites the whole time. Bobo: We should be fine as long as none of the warning lights are on. Noah: You mean all the red, blinky ones? Bobo: Aw, boy. Rex: Giving us the nanites? What was Six thinking? Bobo: He was thinking that if the convoy was to get attacked, we're better to have the cargo than with you? Rex: Could've at least told us we were carrying something that could blow up. Noah: Whoa! Rex: Glad I'm not driving. Six: We have ten more minutes till Providence starts missing us. When we don't check in, they'll send jets, and coming in blind, there's a good chance we'll get shot down like ours did. Beasly: We're working as fast as we can, sir. Whatever they use completely fried the relays. Six: Then we'll need another option. Beasly: Well, there is one possibility, but it's a little old-fashioned. Rex: Let me take the nanites and zoom out of here. Noah: Didn't you hear Six? They can't go above sea level. One long bump will make them go off. Bobo: Kid's right. They're safer in the isolator back there. Rex: All right, fine. Then we'll just deal with the roadhogs ourselves. Noah: So... Any idea on that? Bobo: I vote "Try not to die."[Gatlocke laughs evilly]Rex: Look on the bright side-- The unstable nanites didn't go off. Gatlocke: That's what I love-- An optimist! [Hugs Rex] I love this kid! Rex: You're insane. Do you realize that? Gatlocke: Me, Gatlocke, insane? Frankly, I don't see it. Just let me have 'em. I'll split the money with you down the middle, 50/40? Rex: Wow, after all that, you're nothing but a common thief. Gatlocke: "Common"? "Common"?! Tear open the truck! Gang Punk: It's no here. Ugh! Noah: That was some escape plan. Rex: It was one of my plans. I have a couple different angles I'm working. Noah: What's your "angle" now? Rex: I've got the unstable nanites right here! Bobo: Ah, this is an improvement. Rex: [holding up a can] Back off, or I'll send us all to kingdom come! Gatlocke: You wouldn't dare. Rex: Or would I? You say we're a lot alike. Gatlocke: You would. Rex: Unh![Gatlocke and Gang Punks screams]Rex: Aw. Quit while you're behind, Gatlocke.[Gatlocke growls][Gatlocke growls]Rex: We're clear. Now, aren't you glad about the soda? Bobo, take the nanites. I'll keep them off your tail. Gatlocke: You should've taken the deal. Rex: You couldn't afford me. Gatlocke: You know what your problem is? You're a terrible businessman.[Gatlocke growls]Gatlocke: Ooh, I like that.[Gatlocke grunts]Gatlocke: Hey! Dude. Noah: I'll radio. Hello? Can anyone hear me? We need a little help here! Anyone? Bobo: [taking the communicator from Noah] Gimme that! Breaker 1-9, good neighbor. This is Bobo Haha, droppin' the hammer in a superskate. We got bumper stickers on our donkey. Repeat-- Bumper sticker on our donkey! Come on back. Noah: Oh, like that helps. Is that even English?[Gatlocke grunting][Rex grunting]Gatlocke: Don't suppose I could convince you to join me! You could live the life-- No one telling you what to do. Rex: Can you just shut up for longer than a second? Gatlocke: How long was that?[Gatlocke laughs]Gatlocke: You can pretend to be better, but in the end, you're just like me! Rex: Ugh! There's one big difference between you and me! Gatlocke: And that is? Rex: You can't fly.[The truck goes over a cliff]Gang Punk: Hmm? Aah![Noah gasps]Six: We intercepted your transmission on the citizens' band. Bobo: See, I told ya. Six: Where are the nanites? Noah: We thought for sure it was gonna go off. Six: It went off. Rex: But you said one wrong bump and it would blow up. Six: I said one wrong bump and it would "go off," as in "deactivate." They call them "unstable" for a reason. If it was going to blow up, I would've said so. At least you kept it from falling into the wrong hands. Gatlocke: "The wrong hands," he says. I'm in a terrible rush. The nanites, pretty please. Rex: All yours. They're worthless.[Gatlocke growls]Gatlocke: Let's call it a tie. We can finish our conversation later. Six: White Knight will want you back at headquarters for debriefing. Rex: Aren't you going to give us a lift? Six: Drive yourself. Noah: I hate it when Six tries to be funny. Bobo: The monkey should be driving. Rex: You know, now that I'm doing the driving, this truck ain't so bad. Noah: Which way? Bobo: They went that way, back to headquarters. Noah: You're gonna get us lost. Rex: Men don't get lost. We go... Exploring. Out of the DarkNote: Rex's love interest and sweetheart Circe appears in a vision. Payback[In the realm of Abysus]Van Kleiss: Humiliated... De-powered... All but destroyed. Hardly the new world I set out to build, is it? Biowulf: Master, a spy has made contact. Van Kleiss: Well? Providence Spy: Everything is in place. Van Kleiss: And the boy? Providence Spy: He's here. Van Kleiss: [to his loyal followers] Soon our greatest enemy will be buried! Providence itself will be destroyed. And we'll have Rex to thank. Rex: Come on! Who's gonna know? Noah: Yeah. It would only be for a minute or two. Calan: You actually want me to let you fly the keep?[Calan sighs]Calan: Only until the next course change. And nothing fancy. Rex: All right, let's see what this baby can really do! Why, it wasn't me! Seriously! Both: Whoa! Providence Spies: Aah! White Knight: Calan, what's your status? Calan: Came from out of nowhere. We're being boarded. Scramble all jump jets. Mobilize for a counter-offensive. White Knight: This is a coordinated attack. Every major Providence outpost around the globe has been hit. Six: So far they've steered clear of headquarters. I'm on route to the keep now. Rex: Are they really that stupid? Attacking the keep with me on board? This should only take a minute. Noah: Wait up! Van Kleiss: Find Rex. It goes without saying "alive" would be ideal. Take the ship. Providence Spy: Some kind of power surge. We're losing control of the helm! Calan: Find out where it's coming from. Doc, if you'll excuse me-- Dr. Holiday: Six? Six: Five minutes out. Prepare for an evac. I'm getting you off the ship.[Rex grunting]Noah: Again with the Smack Hands? You always open with that move. Change it up a little! Both: Whoa! Bobo: You see what you get? That's what happens when you interrupt my nap-- Bobo gets cranky! Rex: I learned that the hard way, too. Calan: All hands-- We've got intruders on deck four, five, and six. Get'em off our ship! Rex: Go! Van Kleiss: Attention, Providence. The ship is ours. Rex: Ugh! Not even close, Van Kleiss! Van Kleiss: Lay down your weapons, and your lives will be spared. Continue to resist and nothing survives. Rex: You've made I made some lame-o moves before, Van Kleiss, but this one-- classic. Van Kleiss: Seems you may have run out of tricks. Oh, you had to know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands these days. [Restrains Rex with his gauntlet]Rex: Aaaaah! Van Kleiss: You took something very precious from me, Rex, and now I'll be returning the favor. Rex: If you want my monkey, you can forget it. [Van Kleiss starts draining nanites from Rex, causing him to squirm and scream in pain.][Rex grunting] Van Kleiss: It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my power, you left some of your behind-- Enough to tell me a few of what makes you tick.[Rex tries to summon a build, but nothing happens.]Rex: Ungh![Rex grunting][Rex gasps]Van Kleiss: You'll find that using your powers will be something of a challenge. The nanites that you so special belong to me now. Biowulf: What shall I do with him, master? Van Kleiss: I have everything I need from him. I could care less. Secure the rest of the ship.[Rex grunts]Rex: Come on! Do you really think throwing me out that hatch is the best way to get rid of me? Wouldn't it be more fun to throw me in a cage, tie me down in front of a laser? Biowulf: No! Rex: Aaaaaaaah! Wh-o-o-o-o-oa! Noah: What is he doing? Dr. Holiday: This is no time to fool around, Rex. Rex: Happened to notice that ground coming up on his, doc? If you don't do something fast, I'm about to become part of it! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh! Dr. Holiday: Rex, are you okay? Rex: I think we may have a problem. White Knight: What do you mean "they have the keep"?! Blow it up! Six: We tried. The remote-destruct sequence has been disabled. Van Kleiss has complete control of it. White Knight: Give me some good news. Six: We know where it's heading. Here. Biowulf: This is the commanding officer. We found him attempting to destroy this ship. Calan: What's your game, Van Kleiss? Van Kleiss: Oh, a very good question-- One that depends entirely on what happens next, Captain. It seems my powers have made a slight... change. Rex: Well? They're gone, aren't they? Van Kleiss took all my active nanites. Dr. Holiday: Not exactly. I found this. Definitely a nanite, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Molecular scans seems to indicate it's some kind of control-nanite. Rex: But with nothing to control. Dr. Holiday: With a large enough concentration of nanites, we might be able to jump-start it. But even with that, there's no guarantee it would replicate or even give you back the same abilities.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped. Rex: Great. Loving this. White Knight: If you're finished with the lost cause, we've got a bigger problem. Biowulf: Master, how is this possible? Van Kleiss: It would seem Rex's nanites have an opposite effect on me. He cured EVOs. Now I create them. Full ahead-- Ramming speed! Once we're through, we'll destroy Providence from the inside out. White Knight: Lock it down! I want hallways cleared and critical sections defended. They will not take this base. Rex: Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go stop them! Dr. Holiday: Rex, you're in no condition to fight. Rex: Well, what do you expect me to do-- Hide? Dr. Holiday: Whatever it takes. That nanite inside you might be able to bring you back, but it's going to take me time to figure out how. And that's not something we have a lot of right now. Rex: Wow. Nice outfit. Noah: Got one for you, too. You get to armor up like the rest of us normals. Rex: Come on. Bobo: All right, where to? Rex: South Pacific. Bobo: That's my boy. And here I thought you'd try to pull some hero stunt. Oh, brother. Van Kleiss: I want the White Knight. Find where he's hiding and bring him to me. Dr. Holiday: That should be everything, as long as the offsite backup holds. Six: Don't let it get to that. Noah: This is a strange place for a base. Rex: When I have too many nanites in me, this is where I go to offload. Bobo: Think of it as a nanite porta-potty. Noah: Thanks... For that image, Bobo. So, we just put some of these nanites in you, and we're good to go? Rex: No. They're inactive. Or at least stripped of their programming. Since I can't control them, I just have to hope that whatever this thing is inside me can't. Noah: So... What happens if it can't? Bobo: Let me put it this way-- The last guy who went swimmin' in that soup ended up a 50-foot freak show. White Knight: Listen to me carrefully, Van Kleiss. Van Kleiss: I'd rather not. White Knight: Where are they? Six: The inner perimeter has been compromised. They're coming. Dr. Holiday: Ugh! Ungh![Skalamander roars][Skalamander roars]Biowulf: Open it. Rex: Okay. Bobo, set the thing to "vent" and go. If this doesn't work, I don't want you getting caught in the blast. Bobo: No. Noah: Forget it. Rex, at least think about his for a sec. What if it wipes your memory? What it turns you into some evil monster? Rex: My friends need me. There's nothing more to think about. Bobo, do it. Bobo: Long odds, pay big.[Bobo groans]Six: You've overstayed your welcome. Van Kleiss: Now, here's someone who would make a nice addition to our EVO ranks. Six: Go ahead and try. Ugh![Six groans]Rex: Trying to do my job for me, Six? Here's a thought-- When your top henchman can't even get rid of someone by throwing him out of a moving plane, time to rethink the help. Van Kleiss: You are determined-- I'll give you that. If it's what you prefer, I'll finish you myself. Rex: Maybe.[Rex grunting]Van Kleiss: Ugh! Rex: Whoa! Cool! Bobo: See? I told you it would work. Six: This is an unexpected surprise. Rex: Well, by now, you should expect the unexpected from me, Six. Van Kleiss: Ungh![Skalamander roars][Dr. Holiday grunts][Rex grunting]Noah: Is that what I think it is? Bobo: Not anymore. Noah: You think there might be more of them? Bobo: Eh... Probably.[Biowulf grunts][Biowulf growls]Biowulf: Aaaaaaah! White Knight: I use that electromagnet to trap stray nanites. You're lucky it's on the lowest setting. Any higher, and it would rip the nanites right out of your body.[Biowulf grunts]Biowulf: Then why don't you? White Knight: Because then I wouldn't be able to do this. Skalamander: No one can help you. You're all alone now. Dr. Holiday: Not exactly. We still have my sister.[Skalamander grunting][Rex and Van Kleiss grunts]Van Kleiss: Aaaaah! Rex: No way! Van Kleiss: Ungh! Rex: Once again, epic fail. I'll take my nanites back now. Van Kleiss: Ugh! Noah: Rex, wait! Bobo: Van Kleiss left behind a few presents. Rex: No time to look everywhere. I'm shutting everything down. Noah: You can do that? Rex: Don't know. Never tried. Anything else? No? Calan: Whew! I never want to do that again. No, sir. Dr. Holiday: Amazing. Rex: Why, thank you. Dr. Holiday: I was talking about the nanites. That was a risky move, Rex, but it worked. As far as I can tell, you're back to your old self. Rex: I don't know. Something feels different. That new build-- I think I can do even more. It's like I can see the blueprints. I just need to figure out how to put it all together. Dr. Holiday: White Knight in person. Never thought I'd see the day. White Knight: Well, don't get used to it. We found all the explosives. The base and the keep will need extensive repairs. This was not our finest hour. Rex: What are you talking about? We kicked butt! So what if Van Kleiss is back and more powerful than ever? So am I! If he wants a nanite war, let him bring it![White Knight laughs]White Knight: It's good to have your back, Rex. Dr. Holiday: You know, I think he actually means it. Rex: Sure he does. So, tell me something, guys-- What's next? Season Two (2011) Rampage Rex: I'll give you the recap. Thanks to these microscopic machines called nanites, I can build cool gear out of my body. I'm what's called an EVO. But most EVOs aren't lucky like me. They usually look like this. [Chuckling] I know what you're thinking. And they smell bad, too. There's one other thing I can do that makes me even more special. Some EVOs, I can cure. That's why I work for Providence. We're the people you call when an evo is tearing up your lawn or attacking a city. And the worst of them is this guy-- Van Kleiss. The last time we fought, things got a little out of hand. I'll admit it-- We pretty much got our tails handed to us. He steals the key, wrecks headquarters, hijacks my nanite to get back the powers I took away from him. And now he can actually make people into EVOs. Then, to top it off, he has his dog boy Biowulf throw me, overboard at 6,000 feet. Not that anyone's keeping score. Sure, Van Kleiss may be back, but so am I. So what if he can make EVOs? I can still cure them. He may have new powers, but guess what-- I do, too. Ever since my powers came back, I've got the ability to make amazing new machines. Now I just have to figure out how to build more. If you're trying to check up on me, Six, the answer's still a big fat... [imitates buzzer] I can't figure out how to make this new build. Six: It might take some time, but you'll get it. Rex: And meanwhile, Van Kleiss is out there doing who knows what. I wish they'd hurry up and get the H.Q. Rebuilt. You're not still living out of your jump jet like some ninja hobo, are you? Six: My temporary accommodations are perfectly adequate. Rex: Yep. Still living in the jet.[Rex groans]Rex: I hate being kicked out of our house. Although, as long as they're building stuff, I need a hot tub.[Carmen gasps]Carmen: Madre! Estas viva! Como puede ser? Carmen's mother: No querida. Soy la prima gemela diabolica de tu madre. Noah: What are you watching? Rex: Cultural enrichment! Later on, we find out if Dr. Suarez chooses Isabel, or her evil half sister, Ana Maria. Carmen: Pero, como va supremivir esto nuesta familia. Carmen's mother: Con mucho dolor, vengaza y arrepentimiento. Noah: If you're gonna stay with me while they're rebuilding Providence, at least don't flaunt the fact that you don't have a pre-calculus test in three days. Rex: Pre-wha? Noah: Exactly my point. And when I agreed to this, I wasn't expecting the sidekick, too. Bobo: Hey, pally, we're a package deal. Live with it.[Noah gasps]Noah: Was that a toenail? Can I just get hit by a toenail?! Rex: What's your deal? Noah: Aah! Get one in my mouth! Ugh! Rex: Okay, that is gross. Bobo, bad monkey. I thought this would be fun.[Noah scoffs]Noah: For you, maybe. I'll get a real life, too, you know. As much as I want it to be, it can't be all fun and games all the time, Rex. Rex: Why not? Worse for me. Noah: Hey, I like adventure as much as the next guy, but I still have to pass math. Rex: You're not going to fail math. You have like the fourth highest GPA in your class. Noah: It used to be third. Rex: And ten years from now, nobody's going to care. Hey doc, miss me? Huh? Oh. A situation. Really? Awesome! Nope. I'm not doing anything. Be right there. I'm gonna go pound some EVO into submission. Wanna come? Noah: You're serious? Rex: No. That would be you. Have fun with that math. Noah: Save the world or a chance at a scholarship? All right! I'm coming! Rex: Now see? It's a lot more fun when you just let go. Dr. Holiday: Can you hold that thing still? Rex: Dibs! That's a whole lot of agents for one EVO, doc. Dr. Holiday: They weren't here for the EVO. That ship is carrying the new power core for Providence headquarters. This thing just happened to show up when we started to offload it.[Dr. Holiday grunting][Rex grunting]Rex: Wh-o-o-o-oa![Rex straining]Rex: Van Kleiss![Rex sighs]Rex: Did you see the mark? Van Kleiss made that one. Dr. Holiday: Why else do you think I've been trying to get a sample from it? Rex: I don't know-- Just being science-y? Ugh! Bobo and Noah: Yeah! Rex: Does that work for you?[Rex grunting]Rex: Aah! Dr. Holiday: It'll do. Got it. We can cure it now. Rex: Whoa! Aah! Dr. Holiday: [Chuckling] Unless you like getting thrown around like that. Noah: No hurry. This is great. Bobo and Noah: Ew![Dock worker grunts]Dock worker: What hit me? Rex: That would be me. Six: You work here? Dock worker: What do you think, mister? Ahh, my back. Rex: Yep. Sorry. Was trying, you know, not to die. If he works at the dock, that must mean Van Kleiss was here. Noah: Actually, I think he still is. Dr. Holiday: They're after the power core. Rex: All this for a battery? Dr. Holiday: Not just a battery. It could fuel a country the size of Abysus for a decade. Rex: And it was going to be underneath my room?! Excuse me. Out of the way! Coming through! I was wondering when you and your hair would show up again, Van Kleiss. Van Kleiss: Back to your old self again, I see. And how are those new abilities developing? Rex: Just fine. Thanks for asking. Here's what I bet you're thinking, "did we really think this plan through? Was using some poor dude as a decoy the best move?" Van Kleiss: I suppose only time will tell. Not as strong as you thought. Rex: Not yet. That time I really thought I had it, okay? Ohh! Noah: How awesome was that? Rex: What part-- You clobbering Van Kleiss or Van Kleiss clobbering me? Noah: Well, both, actually. Rex: Hold on. I need a second to think of a really good dig.[Van Kleiss chuckles]Rex: Why are you smiling? We just owned you. It's over, Van Kleiss. You lose! Noah: That was the best you could come up with. "You lose"? Rex: That one didn't count. He caught me off guard with the whole smiling thing, okay? Van Kleiss: You'd be wise to consider delaying your celebration for the moment, Rex. You're about to have your hands quite full. Rex: Oh, really? And how do you figure that? Noah: Aah! Van Kleiss: Here's the part where you must be thinking, "did I think this plan through?" Rex: Noah![Noah growls]Rex: Are you nuts?! Stop it! Six: Stand down! Rex: Take it easy, Noah. You're going to be okay. This will all be over in a second. Great. Just great. Six: Go! Rex: Noah, if you can still understand me, when I said you should let things go, this isn't exactly what I meant.[Rex groans]Rex: Headache. It should be about balance, you know? Take care of the important stuff, but leave room for a little fun. Right now! Too much fun![Rex screaming]Rex: Wh-o-o-o-oa! Everything's fine. Not a problem. Six: If you can't stop him, it's going to be. Rex: You know, Six, you really need to learn to think positive.[Diane Farrah and Reporter gasps]Rex: Stupid grin. It's like it's all just a game to him. Determined grandmother: I know you! Rex: Yeah, uh, thanks, but-- Determined grandmother: You're that "tex" kid from Providence. Rex: Oh, Rex. Ma'am, this really isn't-- Determined grandmother: I have a bone to pick with Providence. Do you realize how awful it's been?[Rex chuckles]Rex: Funny story, he's actually my friend, so as soon as I can catch him-- Determined grandmother: Every single night, someone moves my glasses. I leave them on the nightstand, and when I wake up, they're on the dresser! Rex: Glasses? Determined grandmother: There's got to be an EVO in my house. Some of them only come out at night, you know. Rex: Uh-huh. Determined grandmother: Now, I keep calling you people, but no one will give me the time of day over there. So, you tell me-- How am I supposed to feel safe when there is an EVO in my apartment?! Rex: Here. First number on speed dial. Determined grandmother: He's eating the cat food, too! Bobo: That friend of yours is a walking disaster. I'm starting to like the kid. Six: We'll get this. Go. Dr. Holiday: Rex, can you hear me? Rex: A little busy right now, doc. Dr. Holiday: Then I'll make it quick. The active nanites Van Kleiss create are highly unstable. If Noah isn't cured soon, his condition will be permanent. Rex: How long do I have? Dr. Holiday: It's probably different for each infected person, but I calculate less than an hour. Rex: Noah, you have to listen to me. If I don't change you back, this is not going to turn out well. Please. Let me help you. No! No! Thanks a lot, guys![Rex grunts]Rex: Noah, I'm serious! Stop playing around![Rex screams][Rex sighs]Rex: This isn't a game, Noah! Huh. Maybe it should be. Okay, Noah. I give up! You're it! Better not be another train. All right![Noah roaring]Rex: Aw, no.[Rex groans]Rex: Well, what do you know? I'm "it" again.[Rex groans]Dr. Holiday: Rex, any luck? Rex: Yep. I got him. Stand by. This isn't going to hurt. I promise. Dr. Holiday: Rex? Rex: I'm too late. I don't believe this. My best friend's an EVO forever-- And not even a cool EVO. He's the annoying, breaks-stuff kind.[Noah belches]Rex: Ugh! Dr. Holiday: Actually, Rex, it might not be Noah. Your biometrics have flat-lined. Rex: All that running around. He just wore me out. Did you hear that? It's me, not you.[Rex sighs]Rex: Just give me a minute.[Noah roaring]Rex: Noah, don't even-- No, no, no, no, no. No! No! I don't believe this. You really need a hobby, Van Kleiss. Van Kleiss: I thought we could settle things without distraction. Here is as good a place as any. Rex: I already kicked your butt once today. Ready to go again? Van Kleiss: The question is, are you? It's hardly a fair fight. Rex: Oh. Then I promised to go easy on you. What? You think I don't have my powers or something? I'm about to give you the pounding of the century! Come on, powers. Please come back! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than come after me all the time? Van Kleiss: Funny you should ask. Rex: Doc? How are those biometrics looking now? Dr. Holiday: Give it a try. Rex: Ah, yeah! It's about time! Machines work. I just hope the important part does. Noah: What just happened? Rex: Do you remember anything? Noah: It all kind of hazy. I mostly remember the feeling of... Fun. And I remember you punching me in the face. Rex: Yeah. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying to eat me. Come on. We've got a rat to catch. Why so happy? Is this the part where breach shows up and rescues you? Van Kleiss: Actually, no. This is the part where she takes your inadequately guarded fuel core. Six: Six to post, what's your status? Six to post. Rex: Another decoy? Van Kleiss: I should share some of the credit with your friend over here. He played the part to perfection. Noah: Gee, thanks. Van Kleiss: Now, this would be the part where Breach shows up. Noah: I can't believe I did all this. Sounds like I had the time of my life. Rex: [laughing] It almost became your life. Sorry about that. Noah: Are you kidding? Just knowing I was a rampaging EVO is cool. I wish I could have remembered at least some of it. Rex: It's probably all over the news if you want a replay... At least until you stepped on the news van. Noah: Well... [Exhales sharply] Guess it's back to quadratic equations. Rex: I have no idea what those are. I've got somewhere I need to be. See you later. I know. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't care if it's a construction zone. I'm moving back. Six: It's all right. Turns out you're not the only one who feels that way. You'll get used to the cold showers. Food, you're on your own. From the top? Rex: From the top. Six: What were you trying to build, anyway? Rex: A water jet. Oh, by the way, I need a new cellphone. Six: Yes? Determined grandmother: [through phone] It's after my glasses again. Six: Glasses? Determined grandmother: [through phone] This time I am serious. Now, when are you going to send someone out here? Six: Ma'am, I'm... Determined grandmother: [through phone] Do you even work for Providence? Six: Yes, I work for Providence. Determined grandmother: [through phone] What kind of a flimflam outfit is this? Six: How did you get this number? Waste Land[The episode starts off with a Providence research ship riding the rough waves of the ocean. As water begins to spash in, the crew on the ship begin to panic and run.]Agent 01: [shouting] Forget that stuff! She's going down! Agent 02: What's happening?! Agent 03: [stops running] Hurry![continues running][The waves begin to worsen and the crew begin to board the lifeboats on the side of the ship.]Agent 03: Is everyone out? Agent 01: Where's Hogdson?[It cuts to a scene in the ship where][Hogdson is seen running through the corridor, however he bumps into the captain.]Captain: Hogdson, get out, We're abandoning ship! Hogdson: Yeah, I got that from the annoying alarms. I have to shut down the reactor core. If it melts down, the entire region will be a dead zone.[Hogdson runs past the captain and enters a room. Fighting open the heavy door, he is pushed in by the force of the ship and is closed inside. Removing the radioactive rods from the reactor core, he is interrupted by a large noise on the side of the ship. Looking over, the dent becomes large and water makes it inside. An EVO's mouth with fangs and a long tongue appears and screeches.]Hogdson: [terrified] This will not end well--[The creature backs out, allowing all of the water to wash in and flood the room.][It shows a scene of Rex playing in the bathtub with a toy squid and submarine.]Rex: [lifts the toys out of the water and plays] We're breaking up! We ran out of power to the hall! It's working captain![Six throws a towel and it lands on Rex's head.]Six: Bath time's over. We have a mission. Rex: Oh yeah? Where to? Six: The middle of the pacific[walks away]Rex: [looks at his toys and throws them back into the bathtub] Excellente![The Keep flies over the pacific ocean gyre meanwhile Doctor Holiday is inside working with other agents and authorizing the mission. Behind her, a large underwater ship is being readied for submersion, where Rex and Six are inside.]Rex: This is going to be so great, Six! I have dreamed of being an undersea explorer for-- I don't know, as long as I can remember! Six: You only remember the last eighteen months. Rex: [confidently] I dream fast. [walks over] Look, I don't know how many times my brain's been rebooted, but for now, I'm cramming it full of cool memories while I can. Exploring the ocean? that's major! Like-- Visiting another planet. [takes out camera phone] Smile! [takes a picture of a serious Six] Eh, close enough.[Looks elsewhere and places phone away.]Dr. Holiday: We're coming up on the drop coordinates, I'll link you to the exterior camera feed. [links to camera, showing them all of the gyre] Welcome to trash island. Rex: Cool-- How big is that thing?! Dr. Holiday: About twice the size of Texas. The same currents that formed it have swept up every nanite in the north pacific. Who knows how many EVOs are down there. Rex: Sea monsters! What every explorer dreams of. Dr. Holiday: Something sunk that ship, yet didn't harm the crew. Rex: Bonus. A sea monster with a conscience. Dr. Holiday: With intelligence. Don't let your guard down, we can't communicate once you've submerged. Six: How long do we have? Holiday: Depends on the conditions of the reactor core. [switches screen to blueprint of the ship] If the rods are cracked they could already be leaking radioactivity. But if the core melts down, its radioactive steam could travel to the mainland. Rex: Yeah! If it doesn't blow up first. Dr. Holiday: No danger of that. But you'll never need a nightlight again. Bring me back a souvenir.[The bottom hatch slides open to prepare the ships submersion.]Rex: Whoa, that's worse than the bottom of my closet [looks over at Six] And we're diving into that? Six: Just hold your nose.[Six pulls the lever and the ship is released. Diving through the air, the ship reaches closer and closer to the water. Rex is startled at first, but begins to cheer in excitement as if he were on an amusement ride. The ship enters the sea and they drive deeper into the sea. The deeper they go, the more trash they see, which amazes Rex.]Rex: This. Is. Amazing. Six: The core was using the trash as a foundation material. Rex: You see trash? [grabs steering wheel] Guess it's all how you look at it-- It's a city! I'm gonna say we are definitely not alone down here. Six: [thinking] Whoever constructed this now has the weapon potential of the reactor core-- [looks at Rex] And don't touch the controls.[Rex removes his hands off the steering wheel in disappointment.][The ship passes a large area protected by a mysterious barrier that has sealed in air.]Rex: [exterior shot of the ship] That window's alive, and there's air in there! Six: [camera cuts to Six] A city big enough to house an army and perfectly hidden. The research ship could've been taken down for getting too close.[Something on the side quietly watches the ship travel through the water and swims away.]Rex: Well, I'm not seeing any army [radar begins beeping] So far, all I'm seeing is-- [looks at screen and looks back] Fish?[Three large fish EVOs appear and swim towards ship, beginning to swarm it.]Rex: Incoming![The fish EVOs swim in on the ship and crash into it]Six: [stumbles over] I've lost steering. Take the controls. Try to outrun them! Rex: Oh! So now I get to. Awesome! [the ship shakes once more and Rex groans] Less awesome! Six: [reprograms torpedo on touch screen] I just need a moment to reprogram a torpedo. [Rex continues outrunning the fish] Got it. Hold on.[The torpedo is launched through the back and it explodes, causing the EVO fish to flee away.]Rex: Ooh! Ouch! [Six readjusts his tie] Two the heads-- Twice the headache! Six: [stands up] Suit up, we need to check the damage.[The scene switches over to Rex and Agent Six floating outside of the underwater ship that is parked by a nearby cave. Both are in their scuba diving suits.]Rex: Did you really need the sunglasses?[Slowly, many little brightly glowing creatures swim around the both Agent Six and Rex, catching their attention]Rex: Okay, maybe so! Six: One of the steering vanes is bent. We need to remove it.[A high whale call is heard and the little glowing creatures swim off.][Agent Six swims out of the ship's entrance and braces himself.]Rex: Whatever that sound is, it's really creeping me out. Six: Fish communicate with sonic waves. I suspect those are commands. [out of the shadows in the distance, two Whale EVOs appear] There! Rex: Hey, you fix the sub [swims off] I've got the chum. [taunts] Come on, this way! Over here![The large EVO's swim past the underwater ship and target Rex. Rex forms his Smack Hands and, due to the weight, is dragged down. He disassembles his builds once he lands on a large edge.]Rex: [looks at hands] Uhh? This may be a problem. [looks up][Rex looks up to see the whale EVO's chasing after him. Just as the whales are about to collide with him, he jumps off meanwhile forming his Punk Busters to be quickly dragged to the bottom. He reaches a wall, and leaps off, avoiding another attack from the EVOs.]Rex: Come on! Come on! A little further! A little further![He reaches another ledge, and pushes off to evade another bite by the EVOs. As he reaches higher, he begins to slow down.]Rex: [anxiously] No! No! No! [calmly] Okay, new strategy.[Rex swims backward, dodging one of the EVOs. He forms his Blast Caster and wraps it around the whale's fin, getting pulled along with it.]Rex: Yes! [the EVO turns and continues to swim downward] Oh, no, not down! Bad fish! Bad![Cut to Six, who is still fixing the underwater ship. Two whale EVO's appear behind him, and he turns around, arming himself with his sword. He looks down and spots Rex propelling towards him with the help of his boogie pack. Just as Rex passes by, Six jumps on Rex's back to escape.]Rex: Finally found something that works underwater![While propelling through the water Rex and Six hear a roar from behind them.]Six: [turning around] Hostiles on our nine![As the whales inch closer to them, Rex swims past large stalactite. Six, using his swords, slice through the stalactite, causing them to topple on the whales behind them. Camera cuts to a humanoid figure watching them from shadows. The figure begins making noises to communicate with fishes.]Rex: [distracted] Where is that coming from? Six: Rex![Rex turns around and makes an abrupt stop in front of a large squid EVO with a figure mounted on it]Rex: I'm going to say the squeaks are coming from him.[The camera shows the squid EVO's fangs coming in closer to the camera until it eventually fades to black. Rex, along with Six, dodges the tentacles of the EVO and propels away.]Rex: Hang on! [dodges the nearing tentacles and swims behind it] I don't know about you, but I'm craving me some fried calamari! Six: Closer.[Is taken in closer by Rex.][As Rex nears the rider on the squid, Six takes his opportunity to strike. However, the squid releases a thick cloud of ink. Getting out of the ink cloud, Rex and Six are once again being chased by the squid and its rider.]Six: [points to barrier fill with air] Keep your head down and take us in! Rex: So-- Ringing the doorbell is out of the question? [Rex forms his Smack Hands and punches through the barrier, entering with Six] How is this better? Six: [climbing out of water] Climb![The barrier quickly seals back up, and Rex is surprised to see an organic habitat before his eyes. There are waterfalls, rocks, and flora of all different colors. Rex snaps a picture on his phone.]Six: Impressive. Rex: This place is awesome![Just before touching it, Rex pulls his arm away from a mysterious plant that grows taller towards him. He yelps in fright.]Rex: You saw the EVO riding the squid right? Mister tall, dark, and mermaid-y?[Six looks at Rex and begins to hear some strange sounds similar to growls. Looking up, he sees red eyes glowing from a cave. Out of the cave, comes crustaceans EVO that walk on two legs. Eventually, Six and Rex are surrounded by them.]Rex: Thinking I'll skip the melted butter joke. [Rex takes a closer look at the EVO's claw that has an eye. The eye blinks] That claw just winked at me.[The EVO brings the claw closer and snaps it in his face.]Rex: [jumps back, frightened] Hey![Rex and Six hear a mysterious voice and look to where it's coming from.]Serge: It's their natural instinct-- To protect their territory-- Even to the death. [jumps out of nearby waterfall] We will not stand for anymore attacks-- On Aquania. Rex: Aquania? Really? [smirks] Please tell me that name wasn't your idea. Six: [walks in front of Rex] We haven't attacked you, or your city. Serge: Liar! You fired torpedoes and entered this very room! Six: To escape your squid. Rex: [looks at EVOs in the area] Uhh, why don't we lighten up a bit? Less accusing, more amusing? Six: The fact remains. You attacked an innocent research ship! Rex: [backs up besides Six] So you did all this? [looks at Serge] How did you get coral to take orders? Serge: Innocents?! As soon as those "innocents" find something profitable, a hundred more ships come to drench and scrape out the ocean floor.[The growls of the EVOs nearby begin to grow much louder.]Rex: Uh, guys! Guys! Sorta-- Freakin' out the kids here? Serge: After that, the drills arrive spitting out oil-- [jumps down from higher edge] And chomps everything under it! [inches from Six's face] Just leave us alone![Serge backs away and the other EVOs begin to snap their claws in the air. An EVO reaches towards Rex and opens its claw, causing a slimy limb, with fangs, to emerge from the center. Rex shouts, and kicks the EVO back. The EVO is caught by its fellow comrades. Soon, they all surround Rex and Six.]Serge: [turns away] Just following their natural instincts.[Rex forms his Rex ride build, causing the EVOs to all fall backwards. With Six on his back, he speeds off. Serge watches in shock. As Rex drives towards an exit, the exit begins to contract and get smaller.]Rex: Get small![While Six hunches, he and Rex successfully drive through the first exit, eventually making it through a second exit as well. As soon as they make it past the exit, Rex disassembles his build, tossing them both in midair. Rex and Six both powerfully stick the landing.]Rex: [stands up and lifts goggles] What next?[A nearby plant with sharp spines quickly expands and throws Rex to the ground, piercing his shoulder in the process.][Rex groans]Rex: Ask a stupid question--[Six equips a magna blade and slashes through the plants spines. Rex builds his punk busters and kicks the spines off. Jumping into the air, he crashes through the ground and lands with Six beside him. He deactivates his build, still having a large spine through his shoulder.]Rex: [holds shoulder and groans] I'm rethinking the undersea explorer career option.[Rex sighs and attempts to touch spine]Six: Don't. Let me. [removes spine] There. Is the paralysis spreading? Rex: Gimme a sec.[grabs arm][Close up of Rex's blood stream. The venom in Rex's body is neutralized by his nanites.]Rex: Nanites took care of it-- I think. Six: [raises spine] This is from a Scarlet Cobra Urchin. You're lucky, Rex. This would've killed a normal person.[walks off]Rex: You know a little too much about things that can kill you, Six. Six: We need to find the reactor core. No telling what he plans to do with it. Rex: I doubt he even knows what he has. [leans on large sac] Sure, he's a little nutty. I mean, he came up with [air quotes] "Aquania". This place is more like a paradise than a military camp. I mean-- How many extremists do you see running a nursery?[As Rex pushes off the purple colored sac, it grows larger and bursts. Out of it, falls baby EVOs resembling the crustaceans they saw earlier.]Rex: [falters back] Yuck! Six: Please. Stop. Touching things.[The baby EVOs begin cooing and rolling around.]Rex: Maybe they want their mommy?[The EVOs from earlier locate Six and Rex and surround them.]Rex: I suppose one of them could be their mommy-- Six: [lowers blade in front of newborn EVOs] Come. No. Further.[EVOs begin to back away.]Rex: [to Six] Um, what are you doing...? Serge: [comes out from crowd of EVOs] An example of why I keep the company of fishes-- [points staff at Rex and Six] Instead of men. Rex: [holds head] Oh, come on, guys! [brings out hands] Truce! Six: Rex! Rex: [calmly] Maybe that research ship looked like trouble to you, but they were just documenting the pollution to make people understand the harm their garbage does. But if you think you're the one getting the shaft-- We'll listen. [pauses and turns to Six] Come on? What could it hurt?[Six lowers his sword. Cut to large pile of netted trash floating on the ocean. A large fish EVO brings it underwater and swims with it.]Serge: After my change, I found I have a closer bond with these new species.[The fish brings the trash to Aquania.]Rex: With what? Telepathy? Serge: No. I understand their natural instincts and use them to modify their behavior.[Serge reaches in a bag he's holding and tosses out a fish to feed to the other fish EVO. It successfully catches it in its mouth.]Rex: [snaps picture with cellular phone] Oh-- Like a fish whisperer! Six: [walks behind Serge] And modifying behavior includes sinking ships? Serge: [turns head around] The facts are clear! I build-- [fully turns] You destroy. Rex: Hey, I know-- Introductions! This is Six! My name is Rex! Serge: Six? [leans in and smirks] That's a machine's name. Rex: [stands in between] I think we've established that not everyone is good at picking names. And you are? Serge: [turns away] Serge. Rex: Now see? That's totally rad. Strong, powerful, like uh-like a tidal surge, right? Serge: It's my name-- Short for Sergio. Rex: Right. Well-- Works both ways.[Meanwhile, the crustacean EVOs carry the large pile of netted trash across the screen, cutting it to another scene in the process. The scene is another part of Aquania, showing waterfalls and large pools of water with long anemones rising out from it. They appear to be working with the other EVOs, eating the trash.]Serge: There is much to do if the oceans aren't to be clean again. These anemones can process even oil and plastics into food that is circulated through the coral colony. The coral builds everything we need, even the mirrors that bring light--[A large tremor is suddenly felt.]Rex: Whoa! Sea quake!Serge: No! It is just a curse that you humans have set upon me. It became jammed in the lower spires and is now at the mercy of the currents. [The research ship is shown hanging from numerous chains near the bottom of Aquania.]Rex: It's a research ship!Serge: The shaking will stop when the crab-men cut it free and drop it into the abyss.Rex: Yeah, bad idea! [turns to Six] See! He doesn't want a weapon, he has no idea what he has!Serge: [angrily turns around, causing Rex to falter] Weapon?! So your interest in my work was a lie?!Six: It's not a weapon-- [faces Serge] But it will destroy your home. [Another large tremor.]Rex: We're running out of time!Six: [to Serge] Listen to me, the reactor inside that ship would be crushed. If it leaks, this whole stretch ocean will be unlivable.Rex: That's why we came, to get the thing out of here! [Serge scowls at Rex] To protect the ocean-- Really! Go green! Yay!Serge: We'll inspect it together, if you're telling the truth-- [Another tremor occurs, knocking Serge and Rex off balance. The stalactite within the ocean waters begin to crumble and fall to the ocean depths. Rex runs to the wall of Aquania's barrier and looks out into the ocean to see the chains, holding up the ship, break. Quickly, the ship sinks towards the bottom of the ocean.]Serge: [confronts Six] You've poisoned us all!Rex: [sprints past] Anyone up for plan B?Serge: [shocked] We're over a deep-sea trench! Even I can't withstand the depths down there! [Serge runs after Rex]Rex: Then we better hope I can. [The ship sinks into the trench and Rex dives into the water after it.]Serge: The boy will be crushed before he reaches the ship, and that reactor will destroy Aquania.Six: Underestimating him will be your biggest mistake. [The camera pans into the water. Cut to Rex, who is using his mechanical fists to quickly sink him into the depths. He nears closer to the ship.]Six: [off-screen, through communicator] You're going to have to work fast, Rex. We don't know how much pressure you can take.Rex: Come on, Six, you know I do my best work under pressure! [Rex triggers his mechanical fists to spin, propelling him faster through the water. Luckily, the large ship gets caught in between a trench, and Rex clings onto a nearby ladder. He pulls himself closer to an inside view of the ship.]Rex: Some lights are still on.Six: [off-screen, through communicator] That means the reactor is probably still okay.Rex: Yeah, but the ship is sliding into the trench!Six: [off-screen, through communicator] When it starts breaking up, get out whether you have it or not!Rex: [forms his Blast Caster] Ignoring that part. [Rex using his blast caster to grab hold of something and reels himself in. Rex swims through the ship and eventually surfaces from the inside.]Six: [off-screen, through communicator] Radio updates as you make your way through the s-- :[Six begins breaking up]Rex: I can't hear you, must be the steel hall. Don't worry, I got it covered. [Rex reaches up and removes his scuba mouthpiece] At least I hope I do. [Rex releases his mouthpiece and begins climbing a nearby ladder. As he makes his way up, the ship begins to loosen from the trench. The abrupt shake takes Rex by surprise, and he looses his grip. As he falls, his leg catches the ladder and hangs up upright. As he collides with the ladder, his oxygen pack falls into the water below.]Rex: Great going, Rex. White Knight will probably take this out of your imaginary paycheck. And I sorta needed that to breathe. [Rex continues to climb the ladder and makes it to a corridor where he hears a loud noise. From both ends of the halls, strong waves of water rush towards him. Trying to escape through another passage, the water catches up with him and pushes him through the hall. He uses his mechanical smack hands to hold a nearby doorway. He peaks through the glass.]Rex: Ah, there you are. [sees the reactor cores on the other side of the door, which is completely filled with water] Okay, this should be easy, except for the whole "no-air" thing. [Rex forms his mechanical big fat sword and pierces through the door. After a very deep inhale, he retracts his sword, and the water from the inside spills out, breaking the door in the process. Completely submerged underwater, Rex enters the room and surfaces.]Rex: [sarcastically] Going great! [fixes goggles] Everything's cool! [inhales, and goes back under. He reaches the reactor core and touches it before surfacing again] Gotta learn to build myself a submarine. [dives and comes back up coughing] Okay, maybe I didn't think this through. [swims back under and tries forming a built, but loses focus. He resurfaces] Come on, Rex! Focus or you're gonna be fish food! [Rex inhales once again and the moment he swims back down, he tries to resurface, but can't because all the area is entirely filled with water. Rex panics and begins to pound the walls. Suddenly, he is yanked by something, and a strange thing is placed around his head. Instantly, it supplies him with oxygen.]Rex: [feels around head] Whoa, that's trippy! I can breath! [looks down to see him being rescued and carried away by Serge] The radio active rods-- We can't leave them, and I can't carry them all! [The ship begins to collapse, and with the help of his Squid EVO, Serge and Rex are safely maneuvered from the ships path. As they escape the ship, it's evident that Serge removed the radio active rods just in time. Cut to Aquania, Where Rex and a crustacean EVO are wrapping away the rods in seaweed while on top of a whale EVO.]Rex: Seaweed bubble wrap, a one hundred percent natural and crab-man approved! [raises hand] Up top! [the EVO raises its open claw, but a tongue emerges and licks Rex's hand] Eugh! [pulls back hand] Nevermind. [Rex runs off of the whale, meanwhile is swims to the bottom with the crustacean EVO to get rid of the rods.]Six: [to Serge] I understand what you're trying to do here. I see no reason to reveal Aquania to anyone for now. [raises hand] Forgive my suspicions.Rex: [jumps on both Serges and Six's shoulders] Ha! Aaand what else did we learn today-- Serge? Six? Anyone? To see things from the other person's point of view [pulls both in closer]Serge: [to Six] I-- Do have more paralyzing urchin spines if you want them.Rex: Smile! [takes picture] [Cut to Rex phone, shuffling pictures of Aquania: Both Six and Serge standing beside each other, selfie of Rex and baby crustacean EVOs on his head, shoulder, etc, Rex next to an EVO big enough to only capture its eye, side profile of Serge, surprised Rex's head within the claw of an EVO, an EVO with his goggles, throwing a star fish at Six who is unaware and eventually reaching for the camera with Rex also in the photo.] [While Rex and Six sit in their ship, prepared to go back to Providence, Rex looks down and smiles at his camera phone.]Six: You realize if anyone saw those...? [Rex sighs]Rex: I know-- [deletes all files]Rex: [looks over at Six] Maybe we can come back and visit?Six: I rather not.Rex: I figured you'd say that. [a little crustacean EVO cries and appears from beside Rex. He picks it up] It's for Holiday! [She said to bring her back a souvenir.]Six: [furrows eyebrows. Cuts to ships driving off to the surface] Just don't expect me to feed it. Tough Love The Lost WeekendKenwyn: What did you to Skwydd?Mouse: Just shedding a light light on how dangerous his kind can be.Rex: By juicing his powers? What were you thinking?Mouse: Most inorganic material explodes when given that kind of molecular jolt, but not not nanites. They convert the energy into power that amplifies an E.V.O.'s abilities to tremendously uncontrollable levels. Star-Crossed AllianceRex: The ends of the earth lie a place so deadly, it was sealed forever from the outside world. Welcome... to the Bug Jar... Where monstrous creatures roam free... Where a faithless ruler seeks to escape to inflict his wrath upon humanity. But now, the Great Barrier is on the verge of failure... And the hope of all mankind lies in the bravest, most capable hands. And, uh, speaking of hands, you have four. Think you could lend one?Bobo: Whoops.Dr. Holiday: Guys, what's the status of the shield?Rex: The power regulator is completely trashed, doc. I'll need to control it manually until I can get it started. Mm. Kind of ripe in here.Bobo: That little back door there? [Bobo clears throat]Bobo: Not the bathroom. More Bug Jar, buddies. I got the last one.Rex: [Sighs] Fine. Hold this. And whatever you do, do not let go.Bobo: Or what?Rex: Kaboom!Bobo: He will pay.Rex: Okay, little wormie, come to papa. Whoa. Yet even in this forsaken place, our hero runs afoul of his evil nemesis... Van Kleiss. Activating stealth suit. Looks like Van Kleiss decided to crash the party.Bobo: Just like that guy knocked the phone ahead.Rex: [to himself] And he brought his Pack flunkies. Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach. Circe? Gotta hurry. Their headed straight for-- Someplace else. Gonna find out where.Bobo: No way. You're not leaving me here with your--Rex: Sorry. Another call.Dr. Holiday: Rex, why aren't you fixing that shield regulator?Rex: Hint-- You may remember him from such schemes as destroying Providence headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth.Dr. Holiday: Van Kleiss, in there? You're right. You should investigate, after you fix the shield.Rex: Then it might be too late.Dr. Holiday: She's there, isn't she?Rex: Who, Breach? Yeah, but-- [Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: A quick recon, and that's it. I'll try to buy some time at this end. And I want regular check-ins.Rex: Yep, got it.Van Kleiss: Intriguing. An entire divergent branch of EVO development.Biowulf: This place is a waste of our time.Circe: Van Kleiss knows what he's doing. It's not your place to question.Biowulf: Question?! You dare accuse me of disloyalty?! Hmm.Circe: Sorry. Get a grip.Rex: With no care for his own safety, our brave hero tails his quarry into the very lion's den. Unknown to the villain, he'll be meddling in forces he can't possibly control.Van Kleiss: Circe, if you would? [Circe roar echoing] [Circe roar echoing]NoFace: Intruders! [Circe roar echoing] [Biowulf grunts] [Skalamander grunts]NoFace: Who are you?Van Kleiss: Someone in a position to help you.NoFace: Follow.Van Kleiss: Breach, with me. The rest of you, remain here.Biowulf: Master, my place is at your side.Van Kleiss: I want no interruptions, Biowulf. Is that clear?Rex: Okay, folks, here's the 4-1-1. VK, NoFace-- Getting cozy. Gonna try to bust it up. That's all I got for now. Over and out.Bobo: Oh, don't you dare hang up! I'm a feeling a cramp coming on!Circe: You're right, you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to, anyway?Biowulf: I... do not know.Circe: You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything.Biowulf: Of course he does! He just--Rex: Hey! Easy on the stealth suit, which apparently, isn't so stealthy.Circe: Rex?Skalamander: Providence Spy!Rex: Right! Man, got it in one! Yep, we heard V.K. was looking for a new second-in-command. [Rex grunts]Biowulf: What?!Rex: True story. Got it straight from intel. Not surprised, really. That NoFace is one bad dude. Guess Bio-Whelp here ain't cutting it these days. [Biowulf roars] [Biowulf grunts] [Skalamander grunts] [Circe roar echoing]Circe: Aah!Rex: Seen it before. First they keep you out of meetings. [Skalamander grunts]Rex: Then the boss chews you out for trying to do your job. Next thing you know, you're taking orders from the new guy, and you're just another hench like Skalamander. [Biowulf grunts] [Biowulf growls]Rex: Here comes the moment when our brave hero sweeps the girl of her feet!Biowulf: Don't let him.Rex: Literally!Circe: Hey! Let--Rex: [flies off with Circe in his arms] See you around, henchie!Biowulf: [to Skalamander] Follow them!Circe: Down! Now!Rex: Not till we hear each other out!Circe: Sure. I'll go first. [Circe roar echoing] [Breaks the Bogie Pack with a hypersonic burst, causing them to fall]Rex: Aah! Oh, great! Way to go, Circe!Dr. Holiday: Any word from Rex?Bobo: He ain't back, and I'm still holding the bag. Hold on. Rex? That you, pal? Hidin' in plain sight. I hate this place.NoFace: Invaders have come before. They brought only pain.Van Kleiss: It is a pain we both share. The same Providence outsides attacked my lands, destroyed my army.NoFace: There was one who tormented us-- Humiliated us. The grower of machines.Van Kleiss: Ah, Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple. You control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide the escape and the vengeance you seek. I can be your liberator. You can be my general. Together, we will crush our enemies, starting with the one you hate most. Now, then, are we--Biowulf: Master, I have a report.Van Kleiss: [Irritated] This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the slightest detail without bothering me? [Biowulf grunts]Biowulf: Of course, master. It was nothing. [Circe grunts] [Rex grunts]Rex: Whoa! [Rex grunts]Rex: Aah! Ouch! [Rex grunts]Rex: [to himself] Our hero pursues the girl of his dreams, heedless of her attempts to break his heart. [Circe roar echoing] [Rex grunts]Rex: Along with the rest of him. Circe! Just give me one minute, okay? Look, no powers.Circe: One minute. But if this is about leaving the Pack--Rex: Please. I'm way past that. There are bigger things going on here than who you hang out with.Circe: Fifty seconds.Rex: I wasn't sent here to spy on you. I'm here to stop these things from ever getting out.Circe: Forty. Why are you telling me this? You know who I am.Rex: You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone.Circe: Thirty seconds.Rex: I do know who you are, Circe. Just once think for yourself! Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, maybe even a bit crazy. Nuts! Certifiably insane!Circe: Shut up! [Circe roar echoing]Circe: Twenty. Talk about blinded. Did you ever wonder why Van Kleiss is so interested in you?Rex: Oh, I don't know. Maybe he wants me dead?Circe: Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking. Says you have something that's the key to everything. For whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex. He'd never let you be killed.Rex: Never, huh?Circe: Time's up. [Circe grunts]NoFace: Enough talk! Free us!Van Kleiss: You understand I need certain... assurances.NoFace: Assurances? Explain.Van Kleiss: If I free you, will you trust in my leadership and mine alone?NoFace: Leadership must be proven. Show us you can defeat our enemies.Rex: Now, this looks like a party.Van Kleiss: Rex. You never cease to amaze me.No-Face: Defiler! Give it to us!Van Kleiss: Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will you agree to my leadership?NoFace: We agree to it! Give him to us! Now! Now! Now!Circe: [very shocked] Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so you could-- He'll kill him!Van Kleiss: Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were... before. He's yours. [Tears well up in Circe's eyes; thoroughly horrified that her master would calmly allow Rex's life to be put at risk]NoFace: You! Bring him to the vestibule!Rex: You have your orders! [Biowulf grunts]Biowulf: I'm going to enjoy this. [Rex grunts]Rex: You were supposed to finish me off. Now you just get to watch with the other hench bags. Surrounded by the jeering throng, the hero faces certain doom. The heartbreaker looks on. When it's over, she'll regret shunning his advances.NoFace: Now you feel... my pain!Rex: First, a few ground rules. Nothing below the belt, and I have a date on Friday, so easy on the face. [Rex grunts]Rex: It's not exactly a problem in your case, having NoFace and all. Huh? [Rex gasps] [Rex grunts]Rex: Aah! [Rex grunts]Rex: No anchovies on pizza. [Rex grunts]Rex: No stripes with plaids. [Rex grunts]Rex: Aah! Termine ser sentados, Por favor! [Rex grunts]Rex: [weakly] Is this what you wanted? [Collapses from his inquiries, causing Circe to open her eyes]Circe [tearful, pleading]: Stop this! Please! You need him alive!Van Kleiss: Alive-- Yes. Heart pumping, lungs breathing. But his mind? The less that's left of that, the better. Circe, I warn you. Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished! [Rex grunts]Van Kleiss: I'll have this trash removed. And now that you've had your fun, it's time to finalize our--NoFace: We will have our full revenge!Van Kleiss: It seems we've reached something of an impasse.NoFace: We take orders from no one else!Rex: I'm not driving a wedge between you, Am I?Van Kleiss: Well played.Rex: Good news for me. For you, not so much. [Van Kleiss grunts]Van Kleiss: Pity we couldn't have worked something out. Breach, if you would? [Van Kleiss sighs]Van Kleiss: Looks like the hard way, then. [Van Kleiss grunts]Rex: Huh? His work here finished, the hero does the noble thing. He runs like a thief. Adiós! [Bobo grunts]Bobo: Where the heck have you been?!Rex: You're not still holding on to that, are you? Because it's a good thing-- You know, with the whole... kaboom... Doc, I'm back.Dr. Holiday: There you are. Rex, listen to me. If the shield fails, the only solution is a cold reboot of the system. I don't need to tell you what will happen if the thing's in there get out.Rex: Keep your lab coat on. This'll only take a minute. Or maybe not. Doc, do you remember back in the briefing all that stuff you were saying about worst-case scenarios? Yeah, we have a winner. I got nothing.Bobo: Great. 'Cause this situation's not random enough already. Let's throw some raging teen hormones into the mix.Circe: You, Biowulf, even me... We're all just means to an end for him. He doesn't really care about any of us.Rex: Oh, you finally figured that out. Well, better late than never, I guess.Circe: It's not too late, not if I have anything to say about it. [Extends her fleshly and grotesque EVOs mouth]Bobo: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There are some of us around here that might not like the sound of whatever you're about to do.Circe: I'll adjust the frequency to exclude friendly EVOs.Bobo: Does that include me?Circe: For now. [Circe roar echoing] [Uses her melodious, hypnotic singing to call back the EVOs escaping]Bobo: Whoa, mama! [Bobo grunting]Rex: I thought you said you could filter it.Circe: It's not an exact science.Rex: It worked! You're calling them all back! And right towards us! Torn between saving his friends or the world, our hero makes the stupid choice. [Rex grunts] [Bobo grunts]Rex: Come on, Bobo... Focus! Think bananas! Think how much you hate 'em!Biowulf: Get that thing running.Dr. Holiday: Rex, you'll need to follow this sequence exactly.Rex: Not no time for that!Computer: Shield activation in sixty seconds. Fifty-nine, fifty-eight-- [Circe roar echoing] [Circe groans]Bobo: Gotcha! Not seeing much of a difference.Rex: We are out of here! You coming or what?Biowulf: I was never here. [Biowulf grunts]Computer: Fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. [Circe groans] [Circe grunts]Circe: Van Kleiss?Rex: Eh, Breach'll get him out... Eventually. But right now he's in there, you're out here. You'll never have a better time to consider, you know, your options. [Notice the two of them holding hands and let go, blushing]Bobo: What is it about stealing from our own people that's so dang satisfyin'?Circe: You forgot to remove the tracker.Bobo: Eh, funny that.Circe: I'm not going to Providence.Rex: Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that you want to go there. That said... I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year. And so, the tired warrior journeys homeward-- Crisis averted, world saved, villains vanquished.Bobo: Girl not got. Again!Rex: Do you have to rub it in? Robo Bobo Divide By SixOne: [Speaking through Rex] Six.Six: One?One: You left this place, quit life as a mercenary and so rarely returned to visit.Six: I did what I felt was right, I never meant to dishonor.One: So rarely, that I never had time to tell you how proud you've made me.Six: [Takes off his glasses for the first time in the series] We're going to help you. We're going to take you home.One: But Six, I am home. [Rex falls unconscious while One's body starts changing. Eventually his body dissolves and fertilizes the entire island to its former splendor] Six: He's still One. He's just one with everything. Mixed Signals Rex: Whoa, big guy! Someone needs to ease off on the cheeseburgers. Six: Skip the insults. Start the containment. Rex: Like its feelings are going to get hurt. One bad and ugly going down. What? Six: Rex? Rex! Rex: Cool! Six: You want to explain this? Rex: I don't know. It's like some weird vision of this thing filled my head, then built itself out of me. Maybe the vision came from Blobbo. Maybe it's trying to talk to me. Come on, big boy. Send me some more pictures. What's on your mind? Six: Groceries. That's what's on its mind. Rex: I'm skipping. I'm over it. That vision must have been a fluke. Six: All right, then. We're going with a two-prong attack. Use caution. This kind of EVO might be a splitter. Rex! Snap out of it! Rex: Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I wasn't supposed to do that, right? Six: Rex, I want you back at HQ. Rex: But I feel okay now. And we've got, um-- Two blobs to put down. Six: Now! Holiday: No trace of any recent electrochemical or DNA abnormalities. Everything reads normal. Rex: But it's like the visions were being transmitted, and I was seeing it from a nanite point of view. Holiday: I can't track it, Rex. There's no sign of signal displacement or a nano disturbance. Maybe we should consider the possibility that this is psychological. Rex: Huh? Pizza. Holiday: I think he's having another vision. Bobo Haha: Of lunch? Rex: With pineapple and salmon. Bobo Haha: Blech! He is nuts. Holiday: Aside from a strange choice in pizza toppings, all readings are normal. I can't explain it. Rex: Well, if my nanites are trying to get me to build something, maybe we should give them what they want. Bobo Haha: Whatever it is, I'm not eating it. Is that my electric toothbrush? Rex: It better not be the one I've been using. Bobo Haha: Oh. Rex: This is what I'm seeing in my head. As stupid as it looks. It's like someone or something is sending me instructions to build some big device. Bobo Haha: Or build a pizza with pineapple and salmon. Rex: Okay. I'm not sure about that vision. Holiday: Is that my hairdryer? Rex: I just need to figure out what it does. Maybe it's a time machine. Or-- Or alien technology! Bobo Haha: Maybe it's just a big pile of junk. Or a way to order a really awful pizza. Contraption Voice: Target acquired. Holiday: Rex! Bobo Haha: Wake up! [Rex gasps] Provindece Soldier #1: Hey, where do you think you're going? We've got a security breach. Front floor. Providence Soldier #2: Lockdown protocols enabled. All hands report to duty station. Security speed, take position. Rex: Sorry, guys. I might be a little... late. Caesar: Case compression. Release. Rex: Figures I'd build a machine with a serious attitude problem. Caesar: [taking off his helmet and turns to Rex] Rex, is that you? Rex: Who’s asking? Caesar: It’s me, Caesar, your brother! Mijo! [Hugs Rex] You're alive and... older. [Rex is dumbfounded] Uh. Atomic clock was right... [spanish accent] Es una problema grande. Rex: Uh, yeah. [Pushes Caesar] It is a big problem. Caesar: What is this place? Who are you people? [to Rex] I'm getting you out of here! Bobo Haha: Sorry, amigo. Put your hands up. Or don't. I got a clear shot either way. Caesar: [is looking at Bobo] A talking chimp? Bobo Haha: Don't bother. I've heard all the jokes. Caesar: Have they hurt you? Are you okay? Stand aside. Rex: Hello? Do I get a say in this? Holiday: If you're part of some elaborate plan to kidnap Rex, then you failed. Caesar: Listen, bonita, you don't wanna make me use this. Rex: [gets in between them] Enough! Normally around here when someone barges in talking crazy, they get around into the deck plates by my giant fists. But you seem legit. I'm going with him. Holiday: Rex! Rex: Okay, brother. Lead the way. So if you are my brother, where have you been all this time? Caesar: I'll explain later when we're safe. Rex: Uh, this is Providence. We are safe. Usually. Caesar: Providence? Never heard of it. To be honest, the last five years has been a bit of a blur. Rex: I want to believe you, but I'm gonna need some proof. Caesar: Your name is Rex Salazar. Our parents are Violetta and Raphael. The last time I saw you was at the Applied Nanite Research Lab in Abysus; right before those fools triggered a replication cycle. Rex: And I have total amnesia so, for all I know, that could be completely bogus. Caesar: There's a scar on the back of your left knee you got when you were seven, riding the gantry arm in the reactor annex. Rex: Hmm. I always wondered how I got that. [they go out and Rex notices Caesar Salazar's pod laboratory] Rex: Whoa. Nice wheels. Six: [Comes out and unsheathed his swords] Don't even think about it. [Caesar is about to attack but Rex stops him] Rex: It's okay. Six isn't going to hurt you. Right, Six? You're comming in a little late on this, but, uh, this is Caesar, my brother, and he wants to get me out of here. So, let's just let my brother have his way and see where this all goes. Wherever you plan on going, they're going to follow us. You know that, right? Caesar: They can try. Rex: I don't know. Providence ship are pretty fast. Six: Track Rex's bio signature and find out who that guy really is. Rex: You ain't kidding. This thing moves fast. A-are we in the arctic? Caesar: How do you think I got to your location so quickly once the locator signaled me? Rex: Locator? You sent me the schematics to build that thing? It tried to crush me like a bug! Caesar: Sorry, mijo. I wasn't really trying to hurt. [scans Rex's body] I was looking for what's hiding inside of you. [showing Rex the result] The Omega One Nanite. Rex: That thing? Holiday discovered it before. We had no idea what it was. Caesar: I sent signal instructions for the Omega One to track and contain. But since the nanite has integrated into your DNA, you became the conduit for building the machine. What I don't get is how the Omega One got inside of you. Rylander was supposed to have that under lock and key. Rex: Rylander? He's the one who put it inside me. Caesar: Why would he do a thing like that? I'm really gonna have to let old fool have it when I see him. Rex: Not possible-- Courtesy of Van Kleiss. Caesar: Van Kleiss?! What does that third-rate lab hack have to do with this? Rex: What? I guess I’m not the only one who needs an update. Where have you been? Caesar: It's a long story-- actually, short by my clock. A splinter group had formed at the lab. They had other ideas about how the nanites would be used. We tried to stop them, and you were hurt. The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites. It was risky, but it worked. We thought that'd be enough to stop the others, make them see the right path. But we were wrong. Mom and Dad were in the reactor. As for me, I managed to escape in my lab. But the shock wave, the same shock wave that probably blanked your memory.... also interfered with engine that powers this pod. I was stuck in sub-light drive. Rex: How long? Caesar: Fifteen minutes. That's how long it took me to reboot the system. But at the speed I was going, it was 5 years of your time. I knew there was an accident, but I had no idea how bad. My nanite sensors were off the charts. My 1st priority was to insure the OM-1 was safe. That was our promise. And here we are. So, what have I missed these past five years? Rex: Providence? We need to talk. They can wait. Caesar: So let me understand, there are EVOs and Van Kleiss claimed as their leader? Rex: Well, not for all of them, yet. I want to know about me, about our parents. Caesar: They were scientists. We lived all over the world. Things settled down when you came along. That was in Geneva. Rex: Wait a second. Are you saying I'm Swiss? Caesar: Not really. Mother was born in Mexico City. Father in Buenos Aires. Rex: And they're really... gone? [Caesar slowly nods sadly] Rex: Um, where exactly did this ship take us? Caesar: What do you know?We're back at the original lab site. Rex: You mean the one in Abysus? Caesar: Is that a problem? Rex: I'd say just a small one. We should go, like now. Caesar: [typing] Hmm... Must be low on charge. [walks out the door] We may be stuck, but on the bright side, I can take a look at some of these variegated organisms. [goes out] Rex: Caesar! Wait! [outside and observing the EVOs] Caesar: Fascinating. We theorized mutations might occur but never anything this random. [Rex hits the EVO before they got near Caesar] [Rex grunts] Rex: Sorry, bro, but these guys-- [Rex hits another EVO] [Rex grunts] Rex: Usually don't sit still for questions. Caesar: [seeing Rex's new build] Hmm... That's new. [Rex grunts] Rex: Guess I've learned a-- [Rex grunts] Rex: A few tricks. But they still won't be enough if Van Kleiss shows up with all his goons. Six! Six:We're locked onto you. The keep is already on its way. Rex: Your ship may be out of juice, but I'm not. Hop on. I can get us out of here. Caesar: I won't leave my lab, and you definitely don't want Van Kleiss getting his hands on some of the things in here. I'll try to reroute the capacitors to an alternate power source. Caesar: Oh, you wanna see a photo of you, me, and papi? Maybe later. Rex: You're a little off, aren't you, Caesar? Biowulf: What was that machine it flew off with? Van Kleiss: A laboratory. One I thought I'd never see again. It seems an old friend has returned-Caesar. Rex: Providence isn't so bad now, eh, hermano? Caesar: Is this a Grinnell? They always made good consoles, except for the random power surges. Six: Well? Rex: Everything's cool. He's a little kooky, but I'm pretty sure he's my brother. Six: Glad to hear it. Now I need you back. We still have some unfinished business. Rex: Got to get back to work. Caesar: My little brother, the hero. I remember when you just wanted to be a musician. Rex: Guitar? No, wait drums. Caesar: Accordion. Rex: You got to be kidding me! Six: As I recall, you started it. Rex: Huh? [Rex groans] Six: The EVO is dividing faster than we can contain it. The city is being evacuated. Caesar: Hmm. Excuse me, admiral. I need you to take me down there immediately. Afraid I'll have to insist. Six: Rex! Rex: Are you crazy?! Caesar: Depends on who you ask. I had something in my lab that I thought could help. Six: Help? You're not even supposed to be outside the keep. Rex: WHOO-HOO! Way to go, bro! First day on the job, and you already got a save! Six: Job? Rex: Oh, come on, admit it, Six. He just saved our chicharrones. [Caesar laughs] Rex: What? What's so funny? Caesar: You always make me laugh when you try to speak Spanish. Holiday: We've pulled his records, and I've confirmes his DNA. It seems Rex really does have a brother. White Knight: If everything I've read about him is true, he could be an incredible asset to Providence. Six: Or a major liability. White Knight: All the more reason to keep him with us. Give him whatever he needs. Holiday: White's right, Six. He knows more about nanites than anyone on the planet. He helped invent them. Six: My point exactly. He's settling in? Rex: I guess so. Caesar's a little strange. Hard to believe he's actually my brother. Six: I'm happy for you, Rex. You always said you wanted to find your family. Rex: Thanks, but... You know that? I already did. Caesar may be my brother, but you, Holiday, Bobo, you're who I have a connection with. Bobo: Aww, now, see, I'm getting all misty. Caesar: There you are. Hmm. Nice view. Say, mijo, you think your cafeteria could whip up a pizza with pineapple and salmon? I've been craving one for days. Bobo: Connection, huh? OutpostAlvarez: Did you hear that? Aah!Providence Agent: Alvarez!Valentina: He will be fine in a few hours.Providence Agent: Drop it.Valentina: I was planning to. [Alvarez grunts]Providence Agent: They are free.Valentina: Muy bueno. Providence is now at war with the Green Fist!Rex: Come on, doc. Are you serious? Another one? Ouch! [Rex groans]Rex: Oh, this is really necessary.Dr. Holiday: The rainforest is rife with diseases, poisonous insects, and worse. I don't want you coming down with anything.White Knight: Is he ready to go?Dr. Holiday: As ready as he'll ever be.Rex: He's wondering how come Six doesn't have to get a shot if he's also going?White Knight: Six is still in New Zealand, dealing with a... Small problem.Rex: Oh sure. Let him deal with the small stuff. While I do all the hard work.White Knight: [to Rex] We don't have time to wait for him. You're going solo.Bobo: Hey! Where he goes, I go.White Knight: Like I said-- Solo. Now, this Green Fist group have been stealing EVOs all over South America. We believe they will hit Corazon de Selva next.Dr. Holiday: The Providence station there has just captured a large batch of EVOs in the jungle.Rex: Bobo and I are ready to roll.White Knight: Be careful. For all we know, the Green Fist could be selling EVOs to Van Kleiss.Bobo: I'm ready for carnival! Let's party! [White Knight clears throat]White Knight: The situation down there is... complex. I need both of you to handle the mission quietly and with diplomacy.Rex: I can be diplomatic. Oh, by the way, you might want to think about switching to low-fat, White. Starting to look at little... Jowly.Bobo: Better leave the diplomacy to the small one.Rex: This is the town?Bobo: Something tells me they're not in the mood to party. Maybe a knock-knock joke would lighten things up?Oso Maretelo: You must be Rex.Rex: You're Agent Martrello?Oso Maretelo: You may call me "Oso", my friend.Rex: White Knight said to send his regards.Oso Maretelo: Maybe he could come visit sometime, get some sun, see what it's like on the front lines nowadays? [laughing. Then to Bobo] This must be the monkey. He does tricks? Hello, señor Bobo.Bobo: [puts his palm to Oso's mouth] That's "Agent Haha" to you, buddy.Oso Maretelo: Come. The station is not fair.Bobo: Doesn't anybody mow the grass around here? [Oso Maretelo chuckles]Oso Maretelo: Often. But the jungle can only be kept at bay, not subdued. [Oso Maretelo grunting]Oso Maretelo: There we go. [Bobo grunts]Oso Maretelo: Apologies. The air-conditioning is down again.Bobo: Makes our place look like the penthouse suite.Oso Maretelo: But who needs air-conditioning? We're here to work! The kennel is this way. Most of these EVOs we brought in last week from deep in the jungle. A tempting target for the Green Fist.Rex: Whoa. It's packed in here! What are you gonna do with all of them?Oso Maretelo: The big ones are shipped to larger facilities, like yours. These smaller ones stay here. They're really quite harmless, but the world wants EVOs captured, so we keep them. Oh, careful! This EVO is not like the rest. Took down six of my agents before we caught it.Rex: Is it really tiny or something?Oso Maretelo: That's strange. He was here this morning, he can't have escaped. Aah!Bobo: Peekaboo.Oso Maretelo: Aah!Bobo: Yah!Rex: You all right there, buddy?Oso Maretelo: I think you've both earned that cold drink you wanted.Rex: See? This gig isn't so bad. Cold drinks, fringe benefits.Bobo: It's on the fringe, all right, but I don't see the benefit.Oso Maretelo: Drink, Agent Haha. Horchata, the rice milk, is good for you. Besides... It's all they serve here.Rex: I think it's pretty good, but how come we can't get any service?Oso Maretelo: We're Providence. All they know is when there's trouble, Providence is there. Our relationship with them is, uh, complex.Rex: Complex? We protect them from EVOs. You know, this calls for a little diplomacy.Bobo: Oh, brother.Rex: Excuse me.Waitress: ¿Sí?Rex: Uh... Uh... [Waitress chuckles]Waitress: You don't look like the usual Providence soldiers.Rex: That's 'cause I'm not. Name's Rex. Maybe you've seen me on the news?Waitress: No.Rex: Uh, what's that?Waitress: The horchata anejo. It's aged. Muy sabrosa.Rex: I'll take a pitcher of that.Waitress: We only make one pitcher a night. They have it.Rex: Hey, mind if I try some?Valentina: It's too strong for you, gringo.Rex: Gringo? So Mexicano!Valentina: Y tambien eres Providencia. Okay. Let's see if you can handle it.Rex: Gracias. [Rex grunts] [Rex gulps]Rex: Ugh! That's good! Smooth! [Rex gagging] [Oso Maratelo laughs]Rex: [after taking a drink] I don't get what makes it so special.Oso Maretelo: It's made from rice that's passed through the digestive system of a monkey. [Rex spits his drink] [Valentina growls] [Biruta grunts]Rex: Whoa! [Woman gasps] [Woman grunts] [Rex grunts]Woman: Aah!Old Man: Aah!Man: Aah!Biruta: Aah!Rex: I can't use my EVO powers against them! I don't want to hurt these people!Bobo: I wish they felt the same about us!Rex: Oso, you know how to use one of those?Oso Maretelo: The lariat? Oh, yes. I grew up roping steer on my Uncle's Rancho.Bobo: Rex!Biruta: El es un EVO! [Valentina sighs] [Oso Maretelo laughs]Rex: So, what do you think of that? Aah! [Rex grunts]Waitress: [tossing Rex, Bobo and Martello out the bar] You are like the other Providence agents-- Bad for business! [Oso Maretelo laughs]Oso Maretelo: This is where diplomacy gets you, my young friend. Now, are you up for a stakeout?Bobo: Not me! I'm out of with this town and these ungrateful people. I'm going home.Rex: But, Bobo, we need you for a special undercover mission?Oso Maretelo: Please, Agent Haha. You are the key to the entire operation.Bobo: Oh, yeah? Well, you could have said that before. [Oso Maretelo laughs] [Bobo grunting]Biruta: Quiet! I'm trying to free you from Providence!Bobo: I am Providence, dummy. [Biruta grunts] [Oso Maretelo laughs]Oso Maretelo: These toys of yours-- They're for children! [Biruta grunts] [Valentina grunts] [Rex grunts]Rex: Who're you working for? [Valentina grunts] [Rex gasps]Rex: You?! Horchata girl?! What do you think you're doing?!Valentina: I'm feeding all your prisoners, creep!Oso Maretelo: Aah! [Bobo groans]Bobo: Whoa!Rex: Scratch marks? Weird. What the heck did this? [Valentina screams]Valentina: Huh? Aah!Rex: Take a number! I have business with the señorita first. Aah! [Valentina grunting]Rex: Aah! Aah! [Rex grunting]Bobo: Hyah!Valentina: Aah!Bobo: Yeah, and stay down!Oso Maretelo: Rex, you okay? [Rex groans]Rex: I feel... fine. I hope Holiday gave me a shop or whatever that was.Valentina: For the last time, we don't work for Van Kleiss! The Green Fist fights for the EVOs who cannot fight for themselves. We set them free-- Nothing more. [Bobo snorts]Bobo: Just what we need-- Humans for ethical treatment of EVOs.Valentina: Ugh! We were returning them to their natural habitat! What Providence does is wrong and against the natural order of things! [to Rex] You're a traitor to your own kind!Rex: That thing you set free-- It's natural order is to exterminate mankind! It wanted to kill you! Your men are dying because of it.Dr. Holiday: I wish I had better news.Rex: Thanks anyway, doc. We'll call with updates.Bobo: What did she say?Rex: The nanites in my system are fighting off the toxin, but that's only slowing it down. We need to make an anti-toxin, or-- or...Valentina: Or se va a morir!Bobo: In English! In English!Rex: It's doing to me what it's done to Valentina's men. If we don't get the anti-toxin soon, they'll die, and, eventually, I will, too.Bobo: Think I liked it better in Spanish.Oso Maretelo: If I can get a blood sample of that EVO with this, it'll beam its DNA sequence back to Holiday and she'll be able to instantly synthesize an anti-toxin.Rex: I want to go.Oso Maretelo: You're sick.Bobo: Aah!Rex: I'm better equipped than any agent you have, and you know it. [Oso Maretelo sighs]Oso Maretelo: Very well. You'll come with me and a team of my best men.Valentina: You're killing him if you do that. Listen, you need me, Providence man. I know that jungle better than anyone. Your big, noisy party will alert that EVO. You won't get within a mile of it. My men are dying, too. Let me free!Oso Maretelo: You think I'm going to let you just walk out of here alone?Rex: No. I'm going, too. [Bobo grunting]Bobo: Aah!Oso Maretelo: Anything yet?Rex: Nothing.Oso Maretelo: Rex, once you get the sample of the EVO's blood for the anti-toxin, I'll pick you up in the jump jet. White Knight wants you sticking to his orders, nothing more-- Capture the EVO and bring back the prisoner.Rex: Gotcha.Valentina: Orders? Prisoners? You wonder why we're suspicious of Providence.Rex: We're protecting people. What we're doing is good. I believe that.Valentina: You think I don't believe in what I do? Who decides who's right-- Your White Knight? [Bobo snoring]Rex: All we found out here are goats from the village-- At least what's left of them. [Rex groans] [Rex groans]Valentina: You all right?Rex: I'm fine. Let's just hope this trap works. [Bobo snoring]Bobo: [to the creature] Hey, pal, didn't anybody tell you the trap's over there? Aah!Valentina: We've caught him!Bobo: No! You caught me! Big difference!Rex: Aaah! That's it. No more running. Hyah! Ahh! Okay, time for more running! [Rex grunts] [Rex grunts]Rex: Ahh! [Rex grunts]Rex: Adiós! Aah! [Rex groans]Rex: The toxins are breaking down my nanites! [Rex panting]Valentina: Over here! Come and get me!Rex: Don't! It'll kill you!Valentina: You're too ill to fight it!Rex: Look, put down the flower basket and trust me. [Rex grunts]Rex: On my signal. Come on. Don't you want a nice Rex burger for breakfast? Not yet. Not yet. Now! [Rex grunts]Valentina: You caught it. You've saved my men.Rex: We caught it... Together. First my cure... Now his. I don't believe it. This thing... It isn't an EVO.Valentina: The fangs, the toxin... The goat! Of course! How could I have been so blind? This animal is a chupacabra!Rex: Chupacabra? Isn't that a myth, like bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster?Valentina: I thought it was only a legend, too.Rex: Providence must have come blundering onto its home turf and captured it.Valentina: So... What will you do?Rex: Only one option, as far as I see it. [Rex grunts]Rex: Go on. Get! Get!Valentina: There are things in this jungle stranger than EVOs and older than man.Rex: Well, as long as they stay here, we won't have anymore problems. Doc, did the sample beam through okay?Dr. Holiday: I'm synthesizing the anti-toxin right now. It'll be at the base by the time Oso picks you up.Rex: He'll be here soon with the jump set. You better get going.Valentina: Your orders were to bring me back.Rex: I don't always follow orders.Valentina: Thank you. This still doesn't make up for spitting the horchata in my face.Bobo: Ooh, slick. If it was me, I would have kissed her.Oso Maretelo: The anti-toxin will have you back to normal within the hour. Now, what happened with the woman?Rex: She, uh, got away.Oso Maretelo: I see. You're learning, my friend. It's complex. A woman like that-- It makes our problems with EVOs seem simple, no? [Oso Maretelo laughs]Oso Maretelo: Safe journey, my friends. I hope to see you again.Bobo: That makes one of us.Waitress: Wait! For your trip!Rex: Uh... Gracias. How'd I earn this?Waitress: I heard what you did. The chupacabra-- It stole my abuela's goat. Providence is going to buy her a new one. Thank you. [Waitress smooches]Bobo: Hey, if that's all it took to make you happy, we would have run off with the goat when we first came to town. Aah! Aw! Some thanks! Haunted [Noah and Rex are standing outside of a movie theater waiting for two friends to arrive, but have a small talk in the meantime.]Noah: Not only is this a bad idea, Rex, it's just stupid. No, no. Not just stupid—outstandingly stupid!Rex: Trust me, Noah, it's primal; scare Claire and she'll grab the nearest guy for protection, and that would be you!Noah: [from shocked to serious] And, that would be Claire and Annie. [Rex turns around to see Claire and Annie walking towards them.]Noah: This had better work.Rex: [with a tune] I know what I'm doing--Claire: Are you sure you want to see this movie? I hear it's really scary.Annie: So is a jar of killer bees when it's knocked off a shelf in biology class.Rex: [gives a strange look] Uh... yeah! [wraps arm around Noah] He's absolutely positive! [Claire and Annie smile at each other excitedly. The scene then cuts to the four inside the movie theater, watching the horror film at a suspenseful scene, however an upsetting scene happens.]Claire: Ew! [Claire winces]Annie: That actually happened to someone I know. [covers eyes]Rex: [gets Noah's attention by throwing popcorn at him and winks] Wait for it-- [Claire groans and Noah smiles. The woman in the movie shrieks loudly and both girls jump to hug Rex.]Noah: [crosses legs] Still waiting-- [The scene cuts to Providence, where Caesar is playing around with his inventions.]Rex: [rex walks in.] Hey, Caesar!Caesar: Hello, little brother.Rex: [watches Caesar's invention] Whoaa... is that some sort of a nanite thing?Caesar:[takes object and allows small tube to emerge from the end of it] Mango smoothie... but this... [shows Rex another device.] is my hyper-electromagnet that can disassemble a tank from a kilometer away. Mmm, and evidently, can also make deliciously creamy smoothies. Rex: Nice. But what I really need to do is scare a girl into my best friend's arms. Caesar: Oh? Rex: Noah and I took a couple of ladies to a horror movie. Caesar: Ah, to engage their paleomammalian brain so the fear response would be to cling to the nearest male. Did it work? Rex: Yeah... but they both clung to me. Caesar: [wraps arm around Rex] I believe the word is "score"! Rex: Yeah, except Noah pretty much hates me now. He was supposed to be the hero.[Caesar continues to drink his smoothie, listening to what Rex has to say.]Rex: So I need to step it up and it needs to be foolproof. I'm thinking... a haunted house. Caesar: Yes! A twin challenge! Create a paranormal paradigm with technology to evoke a passionate response! That is interesting! The biochemistry of romance is simple... the neurotransmitter chemical, phenethylamine, is extruded by hypothalamus. Rex: I was thinking less... extruding, more "fog machine and lights". Caesar: Oooh... this would be way better! Trust me.[Caesar smirks mischievously][Rex chuckles nervously]Rex: Cool--[Opening theme plays. Rex and Noah are now outside of a hotel, waiting for Claire and Annie to show up.]Noah: A ghost hunt?! Epic fail, dude. Rex: This is better than a movie. Claire will be clinging on to you before she's even inside! Noah: Clinging? Doubtful. The girls will probably freak at the sheer lameness of this stuff![Annie gasps]Annie: Are those EMF detectors?! Claire: Hey guys... [takes thermal camera] and a thermal camera? Awesome. Annie: I knew if we were meeting at the Wrightson Hotel, it had to be about the haunting. Rex: It was Noah's idea. Claire: Really? Extra points to you. Noah: [scratches head] Uh... yeah. I'm... fascinated with the... mysteries of the... paranormal. Claire: But you don't believe any of that, right? Noah: [confused] Uh... no? Claire: [looks at thermal camera along with Annie] At best, these detectors will pick up the electro-magnetic distortions caused by the building's wiring.[Rex and Noah look completely bewildered at the girls as they begin to talk.]Annie: Supposedly even weak EMF can create feelings of unease and paranoia in the brain, although it's never been duplicated outside a laboratory setting. Does this work? Rex: [unsure] Uh... ghosts make the needle wiggle?[Claire chuckles]Claire: Right. Okay, let's go![Eagerly runs in the building with Annie]Noah: [after Claire and Annie enter the hotel] Gee, look at me. 100% cling free. Rex: It's going to work out. Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Noah: [pauses] I heard that before! Rex: [plays with the door knob of the hotel, opening it.] All clear![Annie walks in front of him and pushes it open. As it open, it swings back and hits Rex in the front.][Rex grunts]Rex: So I don't see any bandages. Things must be good with you. Annie: Yep, no more bad luck. I haven't broken a bone this year-- at least not one of my own.[The group of teenagers continue to walk into the living area of the hotel.]Noah: Wow, didn't expect furniture. Rex: That's because no moving crew would stay! I read-- Annie: That they just ran? Completely terrified? Rex: Uh... something like that. Annie: And they would never speak of what they saw. Ever. Supposedly, the ghost of Wrightson still roams the hotel... [speaks more spooky] His invisible hands opening and closing doors, checking on guests.[The group becomes slightly frightened while Rex smirks.]Annie: Paranormal activity increased after the Nanite Event. Of course, everything was freaky after that, so even a hint of weirdness scared people away. And that's why they closed down the hotel... and left it... [makes eerie voice] to the spirits.[Annie pauses and she and Claire begin to burst out laughing.]Noah: [to Rex, sarcastically] Oh yeah, this is gonna work-- Rex: [Rex wanders off and sees a large portrait of a mysterious old man and with a black cat] Whoa! There's a guy in need of a party! Annie: That's Wrightson himself. Noah: You sure know a lot about this guy. Annie: [points] His name is under the painting.[Claire walks off]Annie: That black cat is an icon of superstition and the occult, which triggers subconscious connections. It's basic psychology.[A marble rolls and bumps into Noah's shoe.]Claire: And this is real science-- Noah: [picks up marble] A marble? Claire: Just a simple test-- [takes marble] The floor isn't level. And a tilted hotel explains those doors opening and closing by themselves. Annie: Human nature can't be deconstructed into theorems and formulas, Ms. Test Tube. Claire: Science requires provable evidence! Everything else is guesswork. Annie: [walks away with Claire] Well, guess what I'm thinking right now! Noah: If we leave now, we can still have a decent date at The Snack Shack. Rex: I spent all afternoon setting this place up to make you look like a hero. Just give it a chance. Noah: "Setting up?" Great! Passing potential embarrassment, and proceeding directly to utter humiliation. Rex: Time to turn on the tunes![Rex touches a wall and uses his technopathy to allow the house to roughly shake and the elevator to repeatedly open and close, thus frightening the girls. A chandelier from above wildly moves back and forth and breaks, falling towards Claire. Rex quickly jumps in and saves her.][Claire breathes deeply]Claire: Thanks, Rex! Kinda handy having a hero around.[Noah walks over and gives Rex an annoyed look as Annie comes over and walks away with Claire. He nervously rubs his head and Noah walks away before he can reply. The group goes elsewhere in the hotel and walk through a large, dark corridor with flashlights.]Noah: [sarcastically] Nice work back there. How was the cling? Rex: Well what was I supposed to do? Just get Claire to use the thermal camera near the fountain and you'll be... [spots large claw marks on the wall] Whoa, check out the claw marks. Annie: Looks like the work of a chisel point pick-axe.[Everyone stares at Annie]Annie: Long story-- But he's fine now. Rex: Good to know. Claire: Okay! I say we split up into teams to cover more ground. [turns on flashlight underneath face] As long as you're not afraid.[Claire does an evil laugh. Both of the girls continue to giggle and walk off elsewhere.]Noah: [sarcastically] Yeah. Those two were absolutely terrified. Claw marks-- Really? Rex: But... I didn't make these.[Noah and Claire team up and walk into the room that beholds the large, frozen fountain.]Noah: [Noah uses the EMF detector and quite unsure] I'm getting strong EMF readings in this direction. Whoa, it's going nuts. Claire: Probably picking up the pipes from the fountain.[Claire shivers]Claire: Do you feel cold? Noah: Aren't ghosts supposed to be cold?[Claire laughs skeptically]Claire: Very funny. The walls of this atrium must funnel breezes to this spot. Noah: [knocks frozen fountain] Can a breeze do that? It's frozen solid. [gives thermal camera to Claire] Try the thermal camera. Claire: Right! The cold spots are coming from the fountain... [looks through the camera and notices something strange] What? Weird... must've been a video glitch.[The group goes back into the living area of the hotel and gather.]Rex: [to Noah] Well, how did the cold spot work? Noah: [sarcastically] Wonderful. She monitored wind direction while I froze. Rex: Okay, then go take EMF readings by the sofa. [Noah stares.] Trust me I... whatever, just go! Noah: [walks over to Annie and Claire] Gosh, the meter is going wild. Something's gonna happen. Claire: Nothing is going to happen because there's no such thing as ghosts! Rex: Perfect--[Places his hand on the wall and uses his technopathy again to throw back chairs. The girls scream.]Noah: [impressed] Whoa![The sofa moves forward and causes Noah to sit in it, allowing the girls to fall in his arms as well.]Annie: That was crazy. How could that happen? Claire: [panicking] It doesn't make sense. Do you think it heard what I said? It heard what I said![The sofa mysteriously lifts into the air, throwing out Noah and the girls. It's torn to shreds by scratches and a large growl is heard. Rex gasps and is shocked by what he witnesses.]Annie: Not possible! Not possible![After the sofa slams back to the ground, Annie and Claire watch shocked meanwhile Noah is still impressed.]Rex: [worried] But... I didn't-- [pauses] This place is haunted![The group stands in front of the ripped sofa and stares at it.]Noah: Whatever it was, is gone. Excuse us for a second. [grabs Rex and walks off] That. Was. Awesome! What else is in your bag of tricks? Rex: Noah, listen-- The howling and shredding-- Not me. Noah: Must've been a power surge. Maybe your brother's magnet is more powerful than you thought. Rex: Uh, maybe. It was made to disassemble a tank... and pulp mangoes. Claire: There has to be a scientific explanation for what happened so... I say we find it.[A large noise is heard up the stairs and the group looks up to where the sound is coming from in fear.]Claire: [startled] What was that? Noah: [heroically] You three stay here. I'll check it out. Rex: [nervous] Uhh, I'd better go. You stay. Noah: No, I'll go. Rex: No, I will! Claire: We're all going, nobody splits up. Annie: Not that it's a ghost or anything-- Claire: [startled] Right! 'Cause that's-- Ridiculous.[The group enters a large diner with round tables.]Annie: Maybe that crash was a stray cat? Noah: Let's hope so-- Rex: Here, kitty! Here, kitty-- Meow. Annie: It could be a dog. Rex: Here, doggy! Here, doggy! Annie: Or a raccoon.[The group hears a loud, deep growl in front of them.]Annie: [clings to Rex] Raccoons do that, right?[The chairs begin to be pushed out of the way as the ghost moves closer and closer towards them. The gang hastily runs out of the diner and then stops to catch their breaths.][Annie breathes deeply]Annie: Okay, that was more than a cold spot.[Rex breathless]Rex: We need to get out of here! Noah: No! This is too important, we have to document it-- [heroically] Like scientists! Rex: Something weird is happening here-- Something dangerous. Noah: [heroically] Facing the unknown is always dangerous, my friend. Rex: Noah, this is real! It isn't one of my tricks. Noah: [smile vanishes] It isn't? Claire: And by "tricks", you mean what exactly?[The girls look sternly at Rex, causing him to feel ashamed, they all go by the fountain and Annie begins cracking through the ice using a shovel.]Claire: So you thought you could have some fun scaring the girls? Rex: No. That wasn't what-- Claire: And you were the mastermind using this electromagnet to move stuff around? Rex: I moved the couch, I didn't shred it! Claire: Probably a power surge. Noah: That's what I said! Claire: I thought you were different! Noah: I'm different! Way different, I would never be... uh... the same, 'cause... I'm different. Annie: Claire! Look at this! [places down the shovel and grabs a device] This is more your kind of stuff, but I'm impressed.[Mistakenly drops the device causing a cold gust of ice cold wind to emit from it, causing Noah to freeze whole.]Claire: A mini chiller. I read about this in science journals. Never thought I'd hold one. Rex: That's my brother's design.[Breaks Noah out of the ice with Smack Hand.]Claire: We weren't talking to you.[Claire turns back to Annie.]Rex: Well... I'm talking now. There's something in this hotel that I didn't fake, we need to leave before someone is hurt. Claire: Because Annie and I are so helpless, right? I seem to remember kicking some EVO tail at the Prom. Annie: Yeah! [thinks] Of course, we had a fully armed battle tank then. Noah: Rex, the plan's a bust, give it up.[Suddenly, the glasses and windows in the room all begin to shatter, leaving the group terrified.]Annie: But it's not like getting out of here is a bad idea. Rex: Run. Now![All four begin to sprint to an escape until the fallen chandelier and furniture is mysteriously thrown at them. They all scream and duck, dodging the incoming objects.]Rex: I'll make our own door if I have to![Rex forms his Smack Hands and proceeds to punch until he is mysteriously repelled by an unseen force. The group gasps, meanwhile he is continuously slammed and battered against the walls and ceilings of the hotel. Rex then feels the invisible being, revealed to be an EVO Rex is tossed one final time and groans in pain.]Noah: [runs to Rex] Rex, are you okay? That wasn't a trick! That was a real ghost. Rex: [weakly] It's not a ghost-- It's an EVO.[Vision becomes blurry and falls unconscious.]Annie: [plays with the drinking fountain handle] Come on! Come on! Where's the water?! [the fountain faucet pops, startling Annie as water flies in the air and splatters on Rex, waking him up. He groans and coughs and she closes it back] Sorry! Sorry! [runs to Rex with a rag] Weak pipes I guess. Rex: It's okay. [wipes self with rag] So how long was I-- Noah: So what is it? An invisible EVO? Rex: [wipes face and hair with rag] I know it sounds weird-- But I could sense some sort of group of floating nanites. [hangs rag around neck] Like a nanite cloud or something. Noah: Can you stop it? Rex: Not if I can't touch it. Noah: Maybe you should call Providence for backup. Rex: [shakes head] I'm not getting my brother in trouble. We didn't exactly go through the proper "channels" to-- Borrow this stuff. Besides! Dealing with EVOs is my job-- [removes rag] This is doable. Annie: So the nanites are like a termite colony-- Lots of individuals that make a sort of hive mind that can think without being solid.[Rex groans]Rex: [rubs head] Felt solid enough when it was slamming me around. Claire: That's good. Rex: What? Claire: That's when the nanites are closest together. If we magnetize them, they might cluster enough for you to make contact. Rex: [looks at Annie] You'd guys rig up a magnetic field that'd do that?[Annie shakes head.]Claire: [raises eyebrow] Didn't exactly cover that in sophomore physics. Annie: [hands Rex Caesar's magnet] Try sticking your brother's magnet into the cloud. Rex: Simple enough. Claire: Yeah, but wait until it's slamming you around.[Rex looks at the girls, back down at the magnet and gives an uneasy look. After everyone walks off, he follows. He uses the magnet and raises it in the air around the room. He walks beside Wrightson's portrait and looks at it.]Rex: At least we don't have to worry about Wrightson's ghost anymore. Noah: Unless he's the EVO. Rex: Great! Ghost EVOs, because I was getting bored with the normal stuff.[The group then hears large growling and brace themselves.]Rex: Get down![After the gang ducks Rex activates his left Smack Hand, looking through the optical vision of the EVO, it is seen charging down the stairs and runs straight towards Rex. Rex is lifted into the air by his arm and swung around the room.]Rex: Whoa-oa-oa! I wasn't that bored![Rex pulls out the magnet and attempts to stick it into the cloud. It powers on and it slips out of his hand as he is continuously swung around the room, he is finally released and he quickly activates his Punk Busters, helping him break his fall against the wall. He jumps off the wall and lands on the floor of the hotel. The magnet rolls near Noah and he dashes to get it. Noah is then lifted into the air by the EVO.]Claire: [runs but is held by Annie] Noah![Noah activates the magnet and extends it towards the EVO He is dropped and a cloud of nanites are spotted forming together.]Noah: [surprised] I did it![Rex runs towards Noah, grabs the magnet, and throws it to the side. He forms his Punk Buster, grabs Noah and tosses him over his shoulder. Meanwhile the girls run up the stairs, Rex jumps up the stairs and lets Noah down, deactivating his Punk Busters. The group watches the magnet pull together a gruesome, grotesque looking EVO with razor sharp claws, no eyes, a large tail, and fangs. After it's fully together, it lets out a loud roar.]Noah: Maybe you should call Providence for backup now! Rex: Are you kidding? [forms his Funchucks] Now I can touch it.[Jumps from upper level and swings at the EVO, it cuts away and back. Rex lands and hits the floor, causing a large dent in the hotel floor, but continues to have close combat with the EVO. The EVO gets a lucky hold and climbs on top of the right Funchuck, but Rex quickly knocks him over with the other.]Rex: Do I have your attention now? [slams Funchuck together, causing a large blast to fly out and knock the EVO back.] Good. [deactivates Funchucks] Just hold still and I'll get those nanites out of you. Noah: I thought you couldn't cure non-humans? Rex: Getting better. Let's hope I get lucky. [Rex places his palms down on the EVO that soon turns into a cloud again] Huh?! [the EVO forms back into it's solid state and whips Rex with his tail, sending him forward. Rex falls into a dodge roll and stands] Good trick-- [forms Blast Caster] Here's one of mine. Now come here and we'll see if I can cure you![Rex swings his Blast Caster at the EVO and it falls to a cloud on contact. Once again, it forms behind him.]Annie: The magnet isn't strong enough! Noah: Is there a way to fix that?! Claire: It probably has a neodymium alloy core which increases its strength the colder it gets! Annie: We need the mini-chiller. Noah: That was covered in sophomore science? Claire: [winks] Extra credit project.[The group watches the fight, but notice that the mini-chiller isn't too far away from the battlefield. While Rex fights the EVO he grabs a wooden chair with his Blast Caster and flings it at the EVO The EVO smashes it with his claws, causing it to break. Noah, Claire, and Annie run to get the mini-chiller, but the EVO's tail knocks it back. Annie runs after it and successfully picks it up.]Annie: I got it! [accidentally touches switch] Whoops.[The entire floor of the hotel completely freezes and Claire and Noah are left standing in the way of the EVO The EVO falls backwards after behind hit by Rex and to avoid being crushed, Noah pushes himself and Claire out of the way and slide across the floor. The EVO chases after them, and Claire and Noah slide into an opening elevator door. Rex uses his Blast Caster to quickly press the elevator button and the door closes instantly, causing the EVO to slam into the elevator, making a massive dent. The EVO recovers and looks up at Annie, who is now in shock. Rex quickly forms his Rex Ride and speeds over to Annie to rescue her. After he drives off, the EVO grabs Rex's Rex Ride and causes him to lose his steering. He quickly jumps off the ground and forms his Punk Busters to land on the ice. The rough landing causes the mini-chiller to drop from Annie's grip and slide under a nearby sofa. The scene then cuts to the elevator where Noah and Claire are trapped. While Noah is banging the elevator door, Claire is crouched in fetal position in the corner.]Noah: [continuously bangs elevator door] Hey, Rex! When you have a sec.-- We're stuck![Stops banging and sighs.][Claire begins to hyperventilate.]Noah: Claire? Are you okay? Claire: I'm good. [makes peace sign] No problems. Noah: Claire, by any chance, are you, um, claustrophobic? Claire: [looks up] Lil' bit.[The camera pans in closer to Noah and then cuts over to Rex and Annie still in the same predicament they were in before.]Rex: Get the freezer thingy, I'll keep it busy![Rex deactivates his Punk Busters and places Annie down. While Annie runs off, Rex forms his Rex Ride and lures the EVO elsewhere. The scene cuts back to the elevator scene where Noah walks up to Claire and crouches in front of her.]Noah: That's right. Deep breaths. [grabs faces] Don't look at the walls, look at me. [pauses] I'm so sorry for getting you into this. No matter what happens, I will get you out here safe and sound.[Claire sighs]Claire: Right. [jokingly] As soon as you find a crowbar. Noah: [pats himself] I swear I had it with me this morning. [rests hand on Claire's hand] It's gonna be okay.[The scene cuts back to Rex who is driving throughout the hotel. Racing down a hall, the EVO chases him. He turns around and notices the EVO has vanished.]Rex: Come on kitty, kitty, kitty. Put a move on!["Rex races back towards the opposite direction and the EVO does a sneaky move to attack him from the side and send him crashing into another room. The camera cuts back to Annie who is still reaching for the mini-chiller under the sofa. After a few tries, she gives up.]Annie: This is not working. [stands up] I need a plan B.[Rex comes crashing out from one of the walls from the upper levels of the hotel and alerts Annie. He crashes down on the lower level with the EVO Annie leaps out of the way and Rex crashes into the sofa, causing it to break into pieces. Rex groans and quickly recovers.]Rex: You okay?! Annie: [makes peace sign overhead] Just another monday for me![Rex goes back into battle and fights the EVO Annie looks back and realizes the mini-chiller is now visible and happily runs over to get it. The EVO transports behind Rex and grabs him by the shirt with his fangs. Annie grabs the chiller and faces Rex and the EVO.]Annie: Rex! Duck![Activates chiller instantly freezing the EVO with Rex's Smack Hand partially between its mouth.][Rex shivering]Rex: H-ho-how would ducking have helped? [deactivates Smack Hand, causing the ice to break and fall off his arm] Let's give this one more shot.[Cures EVO revealing to be a small black cat.]Black cat: Meow! Annie: Aw, you're such a pretty kitty! [lifts purring cat and pets it] He's so soft. Rex: Annie, maybe you're not the one to be handling a black cat. Black cat: Meow! Meow![Hisses at Rex.][The scene then cuts to Rex using his Smack Hands to pry open the jammed doors of the elevator. Both Rex and Annie notice Noah and Claire cuddled with one another as they sit on the floor of the elevator.]Noah: Bro, haven't you ever heard of knocking?[Claire playfully elbows Noah and Annie and Rex look at both of them in satisfaction. The scene then cuts to the outside of the hotel, where it shows the group walking out and Annie still holding the black cat. Claire walks toward Noah and hooks her arm around his.]Claire: Thanks. A lot. You were-- Kind of my hero in there. Noah: Ah, just basic psychology. Not that-- [rubs head] It's a real science.[Noah looks at Claire and she looks back. She closes her eyes and puckers up her lips and moves in slightly closer to him, while Noah does the same afterward. Out of the blue, a large hologram of a monster appears behind the the group, shocking them. Caesar then walks in on the group.]Caesar: Seems to have a battery problem. But you can certainly see the potential. [looks up and notices Rex and his friends] The, uh, show you were planning... for... next... Halloween![Caesar forcibly chuckles]Caesar: Can't get started early enough! Rex: Ladies and gentlemen, my brother-- Caesar, the inventor of tonight's illusions. Black cat: Meow! Rex: Okay, most of them. Noah: [looks over at Claire] Claire, I thought we might-- Claire: [walks off towards Caesar] Your electro-magnet uses a neodymium alloy core, right? Caesar: Impressive deduction-- Annie: Claire used the mini-chiller to boost its power to condense the cloud EVO. Caesar: A cloud EVO?[Continues conversation.]Noah: [crosses arms and looks over at Rex] I'm still waiting. Rex: I'm sorry! Tonight didn't work out quite the way I-- :[Turns attention to black cat that walks in front of them.]Rex: Did that thing just cross our path? Noah: Quick! [runs off with Rex following after] Maybe we can circle around![The camera pans out towards the sky, showing Rex and Noah run after the fleeing cat while Annie and Claire speak with Caesar.]Moonlighting Rex: Time to go to work.[Rombauer snoring]Rombauer: Hello? Time to go to work. Whoa! Lansky: Ugh. Did you say something? Rex: Come on, guy, don't you think it's a little early for a swim? Whoa! Rombabuer: Whoa! Lansky: Aah! Aah! Ugh! Rex: Aw, for me? Those guys are the heroes for bagging a-a goldfish?[Rombauer gasps]Rex: Is that Rombauer and Lansky? Providence Agent: You've seen their commercials? Rex: No. I know them from-- Wait. They have a commercial? Grandma: [handing money to Rombauer and Lansky] Here you go, boys. Rex: And they get paid? I'm seriously going about this job the wrong way. Lansky: Psst! Psst! Action! Grandma: Aah! It's an EVO![Lansky straining]Lansky: Down, you!Rombauer: Has this ever happened to you? Hi. We're Rombauer and Lansky--Lansky and Rombauer: The EVO guys.Rombauer: When your favorite fern goes EVO, you can forget about Providence. They only have time for the big stuff.Lansky: So call us instead.Rombauer: We are two Providence-trained EVO-abatement experts. [Lansky exhales deeply]Grandma: I called the EVO guys, and just look what they did. [Lansky grunts] [Rombauer grunts] [Lansky grunts]Rombauer: Your EVO problem isn't too small for us. And our prices aren't too big for you. Serving all of Brooklyn.Lansky: Except Canarsie. I can't go to Canarsie. Long story.Rombauer: So, if you've got an EVO in your home, your boat, your RV--Lansky: Or your boat--Rombauer: Just call Rombauer and Lansky.Lansky and Rombauer: We do the jobs the Providence won't do.Rombauer: We're here 24/7 to help you.Lansky: But don't call on weekends or before noon.Rex: So, you're telling me we can afford dozens of humongo screens in this room alone, but we don't have our own commercial. We don't have a commercial, though, do we? I mean, if we did, I'd be starring in it, right?Dr. Holiday: This is no joke. Even small EVOs can be dangerous if not handled properly.Six: Providence can't stop them all. These boys want to pitch in, fine by me.Isabella: ¿Por qué, Carmen? ¿Por qué?Rex: Raah! No, no. Holiday's right. I should check these guys out.Dr. Holiday: Thanks, but I'm sure you have better things to do.Rex: Never too busy to look into something that concerns you.Isabella: Me cacheteas como mi madre me besaba mis cachetes.Dr. Holiday: I'm not concerned.Rex: Can't hear you. Already out the door. Right after I see what Carmen says to Isabella. Or I could just go now.Rombauer: So, once we're done catching the EVO in your basement, uh, if there's anything else you'd like me to-- Look into-- Just call the 800 number. We offer a discount for repeat customers.Housewife: [during the abatement process] What was that?!Rombauer: I won't bore you with the technical term. Trust me-- What you're hearing is a normal part of the EVO-abatement process. [Lansky screams]Lansky: Help! [Lansky straining]Rombauer: Hang on, Lansky?! [Lansky strains]Rombauer: Yeah? Well, you'll be singing a different tune when you see what's in our-- Bag of tricks.Lansky: Was I supposed to bring that?Rombauer: Aaaaaah! Rex! What's Providence doing here? We got this EVO in the bag.Rex: I figured that from the way you came flying out that window.Rombauer: Yeah, well, you got your methods-- We got ours. And this is our case.Rex: Wait. I just want to talk to you guys.Rombauer: Oh. You mean Providence needs to consult with us? Why didn't you say so?Rex: So, last time I saw you guys--Rombauer: You can say it. I washed out of the training academy. [Lansky straining]Rombauer: And he quit Providence after one week on a job. We're not ashamed of that anymore. [Lansky strains] [Lansky strains]Rombauer: I mean, look at us now. Ow! Hey, help us catch this thing, and then we can talk.Rex: One cured EVO coming up. Ugh! He's incurable. This may get tricky.Lansky, Rombauer and Rex: Aaaaaah!Rex: Um, I think it got away.Lansky: Great!Rombauer: The job was to get it out of the basement, and we did.Lanksy: That's right. There's no EVO we can't beat.Rombauer: For a very reasonable rate.Housewife: What did you do to my house?!Rex: That was my bad.Housewife: I took it out of your fee.Rex: Huh? It's for 50 bucks.Lansky: Oh, I don't believe it! 50 bucks!Rex: Ouch! Hey, look at this. That's weird. Now it's purple and rock-solid. Let's get a sample. This could be important.Rombauer: Important to who? You already got paid for this job.Lansky: A lot.Old man: May-- Can I get one more picture?Rombauer: Only if you get Rex in it. He's really the one to thank for what we did here today. Tell all your friends you shook hands with the newest member of the EVO guys.Rex: Uh, I appreciate the offer, guys, but I've already got a job.Rombauer: Exactly. You've got a J-O-B. We're offering you the chance to get in on the ground floor of your own business-- With all the perks. Give each of those ladies an extra pickle on our tab. And while you're at it, get one for yourself. You're Providence's number-one guy, and what do you have to show for it? What's the limit on your credit card? How much you got in your bank account?Rex: Hard to say, since I don't have any of those things.Rombauer and Lansky: Oh!Rombauer: Look, we can offer you a lot more than money. Take a look at this. Me and Lansky are on the menu. The R and L-- The roast beef and lettuce. I'm the meat in my own sandwich.Lansky: And I'm the lettuce.Rombauer: And with you, we could be even bigger. We could expand to Staten Island, maybe even New Jersey.Lansky: Oh! I can't go to Jersey. It's a long story.Rombauer: Point is-- We could really make something of ourselves. And did I mention working for yourself means no boss checking up on you.Rex: [to Rombauer and Lansky] Look, Providence has done a lot for me-- Maybe not money or sandwiches, but I'm important there.Dr. Holiday: [over Rex's earpiece] Rex, when you get back, I need you in the Zoo. The auto-feeder flooded it with monkey chow-- Again.Rex: [turns off the communicator] I'm sorry. You were saying?Rombauer: Look, I'm not asking you to quit Providence. Just moonlight on the side with us, see what it's like to be your own boss.Rex: I'm in.Rombauer: Okay. We'll give you a tryout. But I got warn you-- Out here on the streets of Brooklyn, we fight EVOs our own way.Lansky: Shotgun!Grandma: Aah! Help! Aah! [Rombauer grunts] [Lansky grunts]Grandma: WHOO-HOO! WHOO-HOO! WOO!Lansky and Rombauer: We do the jobs Providence won't.Rex: And now se habla español. Shotgun!Rombauer: Now he's the meat in my sandwich? Neighbor called in a poodle that's leaving EVO-sized messes on his lawn.Rex: Okay, I-I see the dog, but where's the-- Ooh!Rombauer: Let me and Lansky handle this one.Rex: Really?Lansky: Really?!Rombauer: Yeah, really. [Lansky gasps]Lansky: It was a pleasure working with youse.Rex: Hey! It's that thing again. And it looks like it's-- Really, really gross. Aah! Okay, that's it. I'm calling this in. Or not. It's got my communicator. We have to stop it.Rombauer: Unh-unh. We have to help our clients, and right now, there's an EVO parrot in Park Slope telling some really nasty "Yo Mama" jokes.Rex: This is serious.Rombauer: Oh, so now you're too good for the work we do? Well, that's fine,'cause we were better off without you.Rex: What?! Your business is booming thanks to me.Rombauer: Exactly-- My business! I mean, our business-- Mine and Lansky's. And then you show up. First, you steal our thunder, and now you're telling us what to do? If we wanted to be a couple of nobodies getting bossed around, we'd go back to Providence.Lansky: Yeah! Except Providence said they'd never take us back.Rex: We don't have time for this right now.Rombauer: He's right. Who knows what that parrot's saying. Could be children around. Come on, Lansky.Rex: Aah! [Rex coughs]Rex: Had to be the hero.Rombauer and Lansky: Aah!Rex: Whoa. Problema. Give me that! [Rex straining] [Rex sighs]Rex: This is gonna hurt me a lot more than it's gonna hurt you. [Rex strains]Rex: Aaaaah! [Rex grunts]Rex: Aah! Thank you. Oh. So it's up to you to keep all this going. Problem solved. Guess I need a plan "B." Rex to Providence. There's a funky foot fungus eating Brooklyn!Six: We noticed. That kind of thing tends to get our attention.Rex: Six, did you get it?Six: Nothing. No effect.Rex: Oh, come on! At least I was able to hurt it! [Rex grunting]Rex: Whoa! Okay, was able to hurt it.Dr. Holiday: Rex, I've been monitoring your conversation, as well as analyzing data streaming in from agents on the ground.Rex: Thanks for catching me up on your day. But how do we kill this stuff?Dr. Holiday: It appears that once the fungus hits sunlight, it aero-oxidizes and becomes nearly indestructible. But what's down in the tunnels hasn't been exposed to the sun. That's why it's still green and vulnerable. There's a chance it can be taken out from your location.Rex: That's supposed to be good news?Six: Yes. Here's the bad. There's a layer of oxidized fungus between you and the rest of us. You're gonna have to do this alone.Rex: I'm not alone. [Rex seeing Rombauer and Lansky returned]Rombauer: Let's get one thing straight. We're not here to save the day. We only care about our company. And you're part of our company!Lansky: Also, when we came back down here, we couldn't get out when we changed our mind.Rombauer: Okay, that too. But mostly what I said.Rex: I appreciate it, but-- Look out! Whoa!Rombauer: We got to stop that thing from making more of that stuff.Lansky: But it's really smart.Rombauer: That's not gonna matter this time, because this time, you're gonna have to face our-- Bag of tricks! Don't tell me.Lansky: I thought you were gonna pack it in--Rombauer: I said "Don't tell me!" Incoming! Unh!Lansky: Rombauer.Rombauer: Aah!Lansky: Where'd it get you? You heart?Rombauer: Worse. My wallet. [Rex strains] [Rex gasps]Rex: Wonderful. [Rex straining]Rombauer: Aah!Lansky: Aah! Ugh!Rombauer: Forget it! We can't do this!Lansky: Sucker!Rombauer: You really thought we'd just give up? [Rombauer grunts]Rombauer: We're not the same guys who quit on Providence.Lansky: Yeah. We're businessmen now! [Rombauer grunts]Rombauer: And letting you destroy Brooklyn? That is definitely bad for business. [Rex breathing deeply]Rex: Hmm.Six: The fungus has stopped growing. It's breaking apart.Rombauer: Looks like teaming up with you wasn't such a bad idea after all.Six: We've got a level two event outside Duluth. Mount up.Rex: If you want to make it permanent, I bet I can talk Providence into taking you back.Rombauer: We'll pass. You got your job to do, and we got ours.Lansky: But if you ever need us-- Just call the EVO guys.Rombauer: Now serving all of Brooklyn and Staten Island.Lansky: Except Canarsie.Rombauer and Lanksy: We're here--Lansky: Twenty-- Oh, sorry.Rombauer: Ice, go ahead, you.Rombauer and Lansky: We're here 24/7 to help you.Announcer: Not available before noon or on weekends. We no longer haber Español. Without a Paddle Written in SandDr. Holiday: Rex, I need an uptade.Rex: I'm right at the edge. Anything still alive in there is trying to get away from the sandstorm.Dr. Holiday: It's not the storm they're running from. The nanites inside them are forcing the animals away. It's creating a kind of nanite-free zone.Rex: Ha! We should call White Knight. Maybe he'll move here and leave us all alone.Dr. Holiday: It's no laughing matter, Rex. It could be the most significant development since the original Nanite Event.Rex: Yeah, yeah. Possible cures save the world-- Got it. I'll check it out.Bobo: Hey, doc. You may wanna get a load of this over here.Dr. Holiday: Negative. The storm is moving in too fast. Just place a sensor and pack it in.Rex: Hey. No. It couldn't be. Rex to base. We got trouble of the egomaniacal EVO kind.Dr. Holiday: Van Kleiss is here? Why am I not surprised?Rex: I think the real question is, if everything else is in such a race to get out, why is he going on? Dr. Holiday: Rex, wait.Rex: Don't worry, doc. It's me. What could possibly happen?Skalamander: RARGH! PTUH! They're nothing but dirt.Biowulf: My senses-- Useless in all this sand.Van Kleiss: This phenomenon deserves my personal attention. What we seek is nearby. I can feel it pushing against me.Rex: [Rex emerges from the sand storm] Yeah? [Skalamander grunts]Rex: [Rex kicks Skalamander] How about kicking against you, too?Van Kleiss: Rex! You're not welcome here. [Rex grunts] [Rex groans]Rex: Now, that hurt my feelings! [Rex groaning] [Skalamander pins him to the sand, causing him to groan in pain] [Skalamander laughs]Rex: Aaah! Whoa!Van Kleiss: If I never see your face again, It will be too soon!Rex: Yeah? The feeling's-- Whoa! Mutual! [Rex grunting]Dr. Holiday: Rex? Rex, do you read me? [Bobo coughing]Bobo: Okay, we gotta get outta here. I got sand in places I didn't even know I had places.Dr. Holiday: Rex, if you can hear me, we're retreating to the safe zone. Rendezvous with us there.Rex: AAAAH! WHOA-OHHHHHHH! [Rex grunts] [Rex coughs]Rex: Okay, Kleiss-- Go time! No EVO allies, just you and-- Whoa! Uh, sorry, buddy. Didn't mean to bring you along for the ride.Van Kleiss: I don't need my EVO allies, when I can simply make more.Rex: Don't get me wrong-- I love punching stuff. But anything you can do, I can undo better! We can do this all day. Or you can just spill it. [Rex grunts]Rex: Why are you causing this nanite-free zone?Van Kleiss: How convenient it must be to make me the root of all evil. I'm not causing it. I've come to discover the source and destroy it.Rex: This could be the cure to nanites.Van Kleiss: And I live off nanites. What Providence calls a cure, I call death.Rex: Really? Haven't we moved past this?Van Kleiss: Huh? [Van Kleiss grunts] [After Van Kleiss creates a scorpion EVO to attack Rex, it attacks him instead.]Rex: That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hang on-- I got to get this on video. [Takes out cell phone and starts recording Van Kleiss dodging the scorpion EVO.] [Van Kleiss panting]Van Kleiss: Something's wrong. I should be controlling this creature.Rex: Stinks to be you. Huh? You ruined my shot!Van Kleiss: I believe we've found something more interesting.Rex: You like to point out the obvious, don't you?Bobo: Don't get me wrong-- I love the kid, but if we don't pull stakes now, we'll be combing dust outta all sorts of places for years.Dr. Holiday: Too late. Hold on to everything that's not tied down. This is going to be a bumpy... ride.Six: Holiday? I trust you're all right?Dr. Holiday: I'm fine, Six. But Rex is still out there-- With Van Kleiss. I can't reach him.Six: We'll prep a rescue party. Prepare to come aboard.Rex: Hey!Van Kleiss: This is not simply a nanite-free zone. Something is stealing the nanites from our bodies. If we linger here too long, we may both find ourselves defenseless against the other.Rex: Well, then, we'd better blow this joint. And when I say "we" I mean "me". [Rex tries to escape and fails]Rex: AAAAAAAAH! [Rex grunting]Van Kleiss: If either of us is to escape this place, we will have to work together. [Rex groans]Rex: What exactly are you suggesting?Van Kleiss: A temporary truce.Rex: An extremely temporary truce.Van Kleiss: We'll work our way to the center of the nanite storm.Rex: No, we work our way out of the nanite storm and get Providence in here to figure out what's happening.Van Kleiss: Providence? They can't be trusted.Rex: Them? Didn't you try to take over New York? And Europe? And the world?Van Kleiss: You need to listen to me, Rex. Without a powers, you're nothing but a child.Rex: Oh, yeah? Truce over! Okay. This is awkward. Hey, is it just me, or are you getting really dust?Van Kleiss: It's happening faster than I thought.Rex: What's happening faster? If you know something, you'd better spit it out, or-- Whoa! It all looks fossilized. Like it's made completely out of... sand.Van Kleiss: Not only are there no nanites here, this is pure silicone. There are no other elements-- No carbon, calcium, hydrogen. It appears that this zone not only destroys nanites, but is--Rex: Squeezing the life from the Earth. This isn't sand. This is me! [Rex whimpering]Van Kleiss: These glyphs-- There's something familiar about them. Sumatran? Mesopotamian?Rex: Less geeking, more escaping!Van Kleiss: We need to find the epicenter of this maze. These glyphs may hold the answer.Rex: Only if one says "exit sign."Van Kleiss: No need to panic, Rex. We have at least twenty minutes before fossilization-- Give or take.Rex: "Don't panic"-- Says the guy who used to be dirt. [Van Kleiss grunts]Rex: We're turning into walking litter boxes, and you're checking out caveman graffiti? No wonder I'm always kicking your butt.Van Kleiss: You don't have an investigative bone in your body, do you? So strongheaded-- Just like your mother. [Rex is silent] No, you don't like that, do you-- That I know more about you than you do?Rex: Skip the head games. Isn't exactly a good time.Van Kleiss: No, but perhaps it is time for some truth. We may perish down here, Rex. Ask me anything you want about the past, and I'll answer it.Rex: [looks at his own slowly fossilizing body] Sell it somewhere else. I'm not buying. [walks away]Van Kleiss: Oh, so the great and powerful Providence has finally come through on their promise to help you remember your past.Rex: Something better-- Someone who was actually there at the Nanite Event.Van Kleiss: Aha. Your brother, Caesar. [Van Kleiss chuckles evilly]Van Kleiss: I've been following you both very closely since his... miraculous reappearance. Even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, this one's for free. Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.Rex: [creates his BFS and holds it at Van Kleiss' throat] What are you getting at?Van Kleiss: Oh, no, no. That's not how this works. It isn't my turn. Quid pro quo, Rex. If you want to know more-- Why don't we start with something simple? Rylander's Omega Nanite. I know it's inside you.White Knight: Status uptade?Six: Still no fix on Rex. Scanners can't cut through the storm, so we're moving in to stage a recon.White Knight: I will not risk everyone on board that ship for one agent. Not even that agent. [Holiday subtly ends the call. Then to Six]Dr. Holiday: Whoops. Guess the satellite feed went down. Nasty sand. [Six smirks]Dr. Holiday: Caesar? Wanted you to know we haven’t found him yet.Caesar: Found who?Dr. Holiday: Rex.Caesar: Right. Ah. Sorry. That was, uh, fifteen minutes ago. I've done about five hundred task since then. Try calibrating the keep's sensors to search for traces of selenium. It's something Rex naturally gives off, like dandruff.Dr. Holiday: I-- Really? Hmm. Okay, thanks.Van Kleiss: So what you're saying is, the motor runs off of gravity and the only exhausts are atoms of selenium.Rex: Now you. Squid Pro... Whatever. The nanites, the Event. What started all this?Van Kleiss: He didn't tell you? I'm not surprised. It was Caesar. [Rex pushes Van Kleiss to nearest wall and take out his BFS once again] [Rex grunts]Van Kleiss: Wasteful, Rex.Rex: You're lying!Van Kleiss: Hardly. Your brother is responsible for the most significant catastrophe in human history. You have to admit that as brilliant as Caesar is, he's... not quite right. Am I telling you something that you haven't already noticed? [Rex groans] [Rex grunts]Rex: HAAAH! [Rex grunts] [Van Kleiss coughing]Van Kleiss: You seem to have awoken some sort of defense mechanism.Rex: What are they defending? Rocks? [Rex grunts]Van Kleiss: Before we're totally devoid of nanites, we need to end this now-- Together.Rex: Back to back!Van Kleiss: What?Rex: Haven't you ever read a comic book? Back to back! No way. These markings-- They're not hieroglyphics. They're circuit boards. This whole cave, this valley-- It's one giant circuit board. These are data conduits-- Ms. Hubs!Van Kleiss: You're right. These spirals are solid-state storage-- The standard design for a firewall in a CPU.Rex: Did you just say I'm right? Now that I know what we're dealing with, it's a simple matter of-- Hacking in. This is malo-- Muy malo. Van Kleiss, meet the psycho computer who calls herself--Van Kleiss: Zag-RS?Rex: How do you know that? [Zag-RS notices them and attacks them] You know Zag-RS? How?Van Kleiss: She was designed as a decontamination program at the original nanite laboratory. Her task was to destroy any rogue nanites that escaped from the holding tanks.Rex: She did a great job. Whoever designed her should be taken out and beaten with a tendril.Van Kleiss: Caesar designed her.Rex: I'm gonna have to have a chat with my brother when this is over. [Rex grunting]Van Kleiss: Focus, you fool. If we're to survive this, we have to use whatever nanites we have left to shut her down. [Rex groans]Rex: No problemo! Ah, come on! Stay up! Show off! [Rex groans]Rex: Well, this bites. [Rex straining] [Rex groans]Rex: Didn't I leave you in orbit? Shouldn't you have burned up in re-entry or something?Zag-RS: Re-entry resulted in a hard desert landing. This unit faced complete system failure. Salvation came from integration with the host space station power cell, where new initiatives were established.Rex: Turning the world into a sandbox?Zag-RS: Correct. The prevention of organic infection by elimination of organic matter and securing the Earth core system. Soon, this world will function without flaw.Rex: Van Kleiss! Change of plan! While, I've got Zaggy occupied, you go and warn Providence before it's too late!Van Kleiss: There's no time. Her strength is growing exponentially. To achieve victory, you must trust me.Rex: Trust you?! That's comedy gold! Even if I was that big of a doof, neither one of us had enough power to fight back!Van Kleiss: That's not entirely true.Rex: Huh?Van Kleiss: I've not been completely honest with you.Rex: Stunned-- Really.Van Kleiss: The Omega Nanite within you has a self-replicating program. You can create your own nanites.Rex: What?! Why didn't you tell me!Van Kleiss: A calculated emission. [Rex grunts]Rex: No way.Van Kleiss: There-- That is the heart of Zag-RS. Strike while you can!Rex: Oh, yeah! Now we're talking! Normally, I don't fight girls, but this time I'll make... A big... giant... robot exception!Dr. Holiday: I found him, Six-- twenty kilometers northeast. There's a huge spike in trace selenium.Six: Charge all weapons.Dr. Holiday: The storm's starting to break. But please don't crash.Rex: YAAAH! [Rex grunts]Rex: That's not fair! It worked in the movie! [Rex whimpers] [Rex groaning]Rex: AAAH!Zag-RS: You have miscalculated, human. The more nanites you replicate, the more energy you supply me. 7.5 seconds until I overtake your production. [Van Kleiss grunts]Zag-RS: 4.3 seconds.Van Kleiss: AAAAAAAAAH!Rex: YAAAAAAH! One psycho robot down, one supervillain to chicken! Finally!Bobo: What, you never heard the term "fashionably late"?Dr. Holiday: Your nanite-replicating function seems to be working well. Most of Zag-RS' alterations have been expunged.Rex: Meaning-- What?Bobo: You ain't gonna wash away at high tide.Caesar: This is my design.Rex: Great-- My brother created Zag-RS.Caesar: Evidently. Though her evolution into some sort of sentient nanite-slayer is most curious.Six: Curious?Rex: What about what Van Kleiss said?Caesar: You mean I'm to blame for the original nanite event? Why don't we ask her? Wait! Interface protocols. Code designate Zag-RS. Respond.Zag-RS: Dr. Salazar. Good morning. How may I assist you?Dr. Holiday: Stand down, gentlemen. Zag-RS has been successfully rebooted. But her memory has been wiped clean.Rex: What? You got to be kidding me!Caesar: That's interesting. Hmm. Van Kleiss must have implemented a program dump before he left you. It's the only logical conclusion.Rex: Program dump?Van Kleiss: Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.Rex: Great. So now all we've got is a lame decontamination program with a GPS lady's voice?Caesar: GPS lady? Hardly.Rex: I was making a joke.Caesar: Don't you recognize it? When I programmed her, I wanted a voice that meant safety, protection, caring. Rex, this is our mother's voice.Rex: [shocked] Mama? Night Falls [Caesar's Pod Laboratory arrives at the town of Mexico City] Rex: Are we there yet? [moving his legs and hugs his legs] All this futuristic technology and you never thought of adding a bathroom. [points at the monitor] City Hall! It must have a bathroom! Pull over-- Now! [Esteban writing some paperwork as the ground starts to rumble, He immediately ran outside looking at Caesar's research pod landing. The door opens and Rex finally made on solid ground.] Baño? [Esteban awkwardly points the bathroom] [Rex runs] [The elevator in Research pod went up and then down with Caesar] Esteban: Caesar. ¿Eres tú? Caesar: [suspecting face] Esteban? Esteban: It's Mayor Esteban now. [Caesar laughs] Caesar: Mayor? When you ran for class president, Maria Rodriguez got all the votes. Esteban: She was smarter and much better-looking. And I see you're still building your crazy contraptions. What brings you back to town? Caesar: To visit Abuela. It's a surprise. Esteban: You don't want to go there. It's not the same as you remember. [Rex righs] Rex: [runs to the research pod] Okay, bro, let's go! [Rex went up to the lab] [Esteban chuckling] Esteban: [looking at Rex] Is that little Cabeza de Trapo? [Caesar laughs] Caesar: I haven't thought of that for years. [Caesar went up to the lab] Rex: What? Caesar: No es nada, mijo. We'd better get going. Esteban: At least stay in town tonight. You can head up to abuela's in the morning. Caesar: It's been over five years, Esteban. We're not waiting another minute. [Door closes and Research pods departs] Rex: If she's not really our grandmother, why are you calling her "abuela"? Caesar: There may not be a biological connection, but she practically raised the entire town. When you were a boy, you spent every summer here. [Rex stops and feels incomplete] Rex: I wish I could remember her. Or any of this. Caesar: I'm sure she'll be excited to see you. Just prepare yourself for a lot of sloppy grandma kisses. [Caesar pats Rex's hair and keeps on moving] [Rex knocks at the door, The door opens by Abuela] Abuela, it's me-- Caesar. [The Salazar brothers show themselves while Caesar holds a Bouquet of flowers] Abuela: Caesar! And is that my Cabeza de Trapo? Rex: Why is everyone calling me that? Abuela: What are you doing here? Caesar: We've come to visit. May we come in? Abuela: [Looks at the sky for a brief moment] No! [slams the door] Rex: Maybe we should have called first. [The Salazar brothers spend the night in the Research pod with Caesar sleeping at the floor and Rex sleeping on the table. Unintentionally the computer sets thte alarm causing Rex to wake up a bit.] [Rex groans] Rex: Ten more minutes, Six. [covers his ears with his pillow] [Caesar opens the door and looks down, Seeing Abuela holding breakfast] Abuela: Who wants breakfast? [Rex immediately wakes up] [Rex gasps] Rex: Yo! [Rex drops off the table] [Rex groans] Rex: Ouch! [After a few minutes, Rex picks up his breakfast] Caesar: Abuela always was the best cook. Abuela: I have missed my niños. [Puts her hand on Rex's shoulder] Rex, I have been following your work with Providence, and I always knew you would be a big important scientist. Rex: So, why did you slam the door on us last night? Abuela: Oh, that. You just caught me off guard. We weren't expecting visitors. Rex: I thought you always-- Caesar: Enough with the questions, little brother. Abuela: Let me look at you. [Abuela grabs Rex's face]' Rex: Mmph! Abuela: I can't believe how you have grown. Come, see-- The rest of the family. Rex: Does everyone in town live here? [Caesar chuckles] Caesar: I remember evenings here, laughing, telling stories. And the food! Rex, if you thought breakfast was good, wait and see what abuela makes for dinner. Abuela: It is an old building. There are always repairs. Federico: Rex! Rex: Huh? [Rex chuckles nervously] Rex: Uh... What's up? Federico: It's me-- Federico. Have you forgotten the secret shake? Abuela: You and Federico were best friends when you were little. Caesar: Cabezas de trapo! Rex: Why do you keep calling me that? Caesar: You used to put underpants on your heads and act out Lucha Libre movies. Rex: Glad I don't remember that. Federico: Lucky you. Esteban: Abuela, I must speak to you. Abuela: Someone has forgotten his manners. Esteban: You can't just keep avoiding me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. The village is concerned about the recent activity. Abuela: Well, it shouldn't be. What goes on here is our own business. Esteban: Not when it leaves these walls. The situation is getting worse. Abuela: We've made the necessary corrections. It won't happen again. Esteban: You got one last chance to get out of town. Or I will evict you myself. Abuela: An old squabble. You don't need to worry. Caesar: What aren't you telling us, abuela? Abuela: Time to start making dinner. Rex: Dinner? We just had breakfast. [Caesar chuckles] Caesar: Trust me. [Stands up with his glass] To family! Rex: Is it like this every night? Federico: Pretty much. [Rex chuckling] [The kid kicks the ball high, Frederico stands up and catch the ball and dribbled. Rex was impress.] Rex: Hey. You're pretty good. Everything about going pro? [Frederico drops the ball, awkward silence] Federico: Not anymore. [Rex picks up the ball, kicks it. The ball lands on the table splashing the food all around, everyones laughting. The bell rings and everyone starts going away.] Rex: Okay, maybe not my best move, but it wasn't that bad. Abuela: Come, children! [Caesar and Rex follows Abuela to their room] You'll sleep here. [Rex notices Frederico] Federico: See you in the morning. [Frederico darkly walks into he's room. Rex enters in his. In the room Caesar's unpacking, Rex looks around. Suddently Abuela locks the door.] Rex: [to Caesar] Did she just lock us in? :[Rex tries to open the door, fails] She just locked us in! Caesar: We need to respect our elders. I'm sure she had her reasons. [Rex walks to window, Caesar's trying the new bed.] Ooh! Bed's pretty comfy. Good night! Rex: But-- but... It's only 6:30! [Night, suddently a roar is heard. Rex and Caesar wakes up.] [Rex gasps] Rex: Sure, that's not weird, either! [Mayor's office, the phone start's ringing.Esteban picks up.] Esteban: Bueno. I'm glad you cloud return my call. I understand you can help me with my EVO problem. [Salazar's room. Rex and Ceasar already dressed.] Rex: Frederico? That's his room behind here! [Caesar grunts] [Caesar pull's the door, they are still locked.] Caesar: [to Rex] Can you break it down? Rex: How about respecting our elders? Caesar: Technically, I am your elder. Brake it down! Rex: I'll do one better! Hunh! [Rex grunts] [Forms Smack hands and punches trought the wall, making a hole that reveals Frederico's room.] Rex: This place is just full of surprises. Okay, fur face, if you ate my friend-- Caesar: Rex! Wait! Abuela: There has been a breach! Where is Rex? Caesar: I suspect halfway down the hill by now. Abuela-- Abuela: I know. Rex: Whoa-- Unh! [Rex groans] Rex: AAAAH! Whoa! Unh! UAAAAGH! This is for Federico! Abuela: Rex! No! That is Federico! Federico: Are those your hands? Genial. I got out again, didn't I? Rex: So, you're like a were-EVO? Caesar: Lux Lucius Mutatio. Interesting. Abuela: Come-- We've got to get back to the house. Esteban: I told you this would happen! You can't control them anymore! Rex: It wasn't her. It was me. I let them out. I didn't know. Esteban: All these EVOs! Abuela: They're just boys. Esteban: Look at the destruction your boys caused! The people are tired of living in fear! You'll be leaving today! Rex: I'm sorry, abuela. I had no idea. And now you have to leave because of me. Abuela: I'm not going anywhere! Federico: We turn at sundown and then back at sunrise. It only happens to some of us. Caesar: I took samples from all of the affected family members. Everyone shares the same genetic code-- something similar to hypotrichosis. Rex: Hyper, huh? Caesar: Werewolf syndrome. The nanites triggered the dormant gene. Federico: Can you cure it? Rex: I can try. Strange. I don't feel anything. Do you? Federico: Thanks anyway. Caesar: I'm seeing no active nanite tracers whatsoever. Rex: Well, maybe it's because he's not an EVO form. Federico: I just want a normal life again. I don't want to have to leave my home. Caesar: Maybe there's a way you can have both. Rex: Sorry about the wall. Why didn't you tell us? Abuela: Because I didn't want Providence to know. Rex: But Providence can help. Abuela: By taking those afflicted away? No. Every night when the bell pulls, those that have the change are locked away safely. For years it has been this way and no one has been hurt. Rex: But-- You're prisoners in your own home. Abuela: You may see it that way, niño. But at least we are a family. Federico: You know-- Even though we got busted today, it was kind of fun to get out. Rex: Don't you ever feel cooped up in here? Federico: There is one thing I missed. Go-o-o-o-al! Rex: Why did you stop playing if you love it so much? Federico: One day during practice, I stayed late so some scouts could see me play. Sun went down, and, well... They made me quit the league after that. Still haven't replaced the go box. [Federico chuckles] Federico: Is that Providence? Rex: I don't know who it is. Federico: We should probably get back. It's almost evening bell. Hunter Cain: Rex. Federico: That guy just shot my ball! Rex: Oh, this is just perfect. Hunter Cane he has a thing for hunting down EVOs I already put him away once. Federico: So, what's he doing here? Rex: Guessing your mayor called him. Federico: No, I mean did, he break out or something? Rex: Don't know. Don't care. Hunter Cain: Why am I not surprised? This one of them? Rex: Bringing this guy here was a bad move. Hunter Cain: For them? And I get to settle an old score while I'm at it. Lucky me. Rex: No-- Lucky me! Federico: Rex, we've gotta go. Rex: You don't have to worry. This guy has nothing to sweat. Federico: Now! Hunter Cain: Well, what do we have here? [Hunter Cain grunts] Hunter Cain: Esteban, my friend, I may not even charge you for this one. Rex: The mayor wasn't kidding. He sent an EVO hunter who likes to shoot first and skip the questions. We'll need every man, woman, and werewolf. Esteban: You were warned, abuela. You can live peacefully or we will bring you out. Hunter Cain: I didn't come here for conversation. Esteban: But you said it would just be a show of force. We run them out of town. No one gets hurt. Hunter Cain: I don't negotiate with EVOs or their families. If you don't like what you're about to see, you can head on down the hill. Rex: Why don't you join them, hunter? Hunter Cain: I never back down from a fight. Rex: Neither do I. You bring your magic EVO bullets, or is this going to be a real fight? Hunter Cain: Lucky for you, these are the old-fashioned kind. But they hurt just as bad. Rex: Yeah, that is kind of annoying. Caesar: Just hours ago, there wasn't any nanite activity. But now, it's like night and day. [Caesar laughs] Caesar: That was my little pun. It seems the samples are reacting differently in the absence of sunlight. If I can only work out the photoreactive elements-- Rex: I don't even think a cure will stop Hunter Cain. He'll never listen to reason. Caesar: I still gotta try. I think I can affect the change in the nanite programming during your nocturnal cycle. If I'm gonna cure this, I have to do it before sunrise. Rex: Not a Hunter gets to them first. I can keep doing this till you run out of ammo. Hunter Cain: Fire on target! Rex: AAAAAAAH! [Rex grunts] [Rex groans] Rex: Note to self-- Don't give him any ideas. You have to let them out! Abuela: I made a promise to keep them safe from harm! Rex: Where they can't defend themselves? That's exactly what won't happen! Hunter Cain: Grandma, step aside. Abuela: I stand with my family. Hunter Cain: Have it your way. I'll take all of you down. Abuela: You obviously haven't met my family. Rex: Can't believe we're not related. So, what was your big jail break? Nail pile and a cake? Exploding smoke bomb? Hunter Cain: Cold, hard cash. Not everyone at Providence is an EVO-lover. Caesar: Huh? Yes! Rex, we can reprogram the nanites to disregard the photoreactive coding of their DNA with a frequency-tuned pulse! That should allow you to cure them! Rex: Sounds great, but I've sort of got my hands full. Unh! Caesar: You mess with my brother, you mess with me. Hunter Cain: Who are you? You an EVO? Caesar: No. I'm a scientist. Hunter Cain: AAAAH! Caesar: Your turn. Rex: Whoa! Whoa-ho! Wait! I thought you said you had to zap their nanites. Caesar: In a manner of speaking. First, I zap you. Then, you have your nanites through do the rest. Rex: AAAH! Caesar: Too strong. I'll make an adjustment. Rex: Adjustment? How about you wait for me to say "okay" next time? You're still here? Hunter Cain: When I said I was out of the disintegrator ammo, I lied. One left, and it has your name on it. Rex: Federico, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but it might be time for the return of Las Cabezas de Trapo. Caesar: I think I've got the settings figured out. Rex: You think? AAAH! [Rex groans] Caesar: That's more like it. Rex: [Woozily] Okay. Let's give it a try. I'm not trying to hurt you. Abuela: Federico, mi corazoncito. Let him try. Rex: Maybe we have to wait for a sunrise. We- We made it worse. Now we stuck that way! Federico: It isn't him-- It's me. I can control it now! Hunter Cain: Doesn't change a thing to me. He's still an EVO. I'm gonna finish the job I came here to do. I'll wipe out the whole compound if I have to. Abuela: There is no place for your kind of hatred here! Hunter Cain: You think I'm afraid of you? Rex: I think you should be. [Hunter Cain spits] Rex: Hunter knows how to hold a grudge. He'll come back. Federico: And we'll be waiting. Rex: So, this mean you're gonna try out for the pros? Abuela: I think it's time we all go out and live our lives. Rex: La familia! Caesar: Cabezas de trapo! Hard Target [The scene starts in an alley, with Rex driving his Rex Ride while in the back holding Chinese food.] Six: The situation is escalating. What's your ETA? Rex: As fast as I can. Six: We've got a lot of hungry people here, Rex. Rex: Hey, a late-night briefing wasn't my idea. And, yes, I remembered the hot mustard. Be there in-- [Rex gasps] Rex: [sees a red portal] Breach! Whoa! Unh! Breach: [giggles] Almost like you saw me coming. Rex: [removes his goggles] Guess my nanites are onto the whole "ripping-the-very-fabric-of-space" thing. Plus, you just plain creep me out. Breach: [drops some Chinese food into a portal] Oops-- [Breach giggles] Rex: [looks at Breach's portal and dodges the Chinese food] Aah! Laugh if you want, but do not mess with Six's Kung Pao Pork. [activates his Punk Busters, Breach sends a rapid fire of her portals, Rex dodges and reverts back] What do you want this time? [Looks at red portal, surprised by a punch.] Breach: Oh, I can be anywhere. [kicks Rex] Go anywhere. [punches Rex from behind] Doesn't it drive you crazy? Rex: Bites both ways, Breach. [punches the decoy portal and punches Breach with his Smack Hands] We've been over this. I don't want to be in your collection. I don't want to be your pet, your trophy, your prize, your... whatever. [Breach's hands grabs Rex's hands both left and right and slowly lifts Rex in the air.] Breach: I'm through collecting you, Rex. It's way more fun messing with you. [Breach giggles] [Breach hears a ding.] Biowulf: [over com-link] Biowulf to Breach, have you commenced the operation? [Breach stops her portal, causing Rex to fall.] Rex: Aah! Breach: We'll play some more next time. Van Kleiss has a very important mission for me. Rex: To pick up his laundry? Breach: [giggles] It involves an old friend of yours. [Creates a portal and jumps in. Rex takes a glance at the portal revealing a familiar place.] Rex: Wait, I know that place. Oh, no! [Rex rushes into the portal as it closes.] [Rex is blinded by the light and lands over a train rail.] Rex: Okay, I'm in Hong Kong. Check. She's going after Circe! [Train sounds in coming towards him] [sarcastically] What a surprise. [Rex manages to avoid an oncoming train with his Boogie Pack, and flies away.] Six: [over com-link] Rex, you dropped off the grid. What's your L and L? Rex: Intersection of Hong and Kong. [Back at Providence base] Six: You do realize there are closer places for take-out. [Back to Rex] Rex: It's Breach! She knows Circe's here! Six: Which is more than Providence knows, apparently. Rex: Yeeeeah, I might have sorta told her about my old gang and-- [sees the silo where his gang lives] I'm here! Gotta go! [Back in Providence; Six, Holiday, two Providence agents and Bobo are dumbfounded.] [Rex arrives at the silo, builds his Punk Busters, and kicks the door down.] Rex: I'm taking you down, Breach! [Skwydd and Cricket, preparing breakfast, look dumbfounded.] Skwydd: Uh, Rex? [Circe peeks out of the bathroom, wearing a white towel over her head.] Rex: Circe? Breach is... not here? Skwydd: No. But our breakfast has been soundly defeated. Rex: Umm-- Hey, Skwydd! Cricket? See you guys got the place back together? Skwydd: Yeah. Just in time for you to wreck it again. Hey, Tuck! You okay? Tuck: [from underneath the door] I'm cool! [Rex looks down as Tuck frees himself.] Tuck: Whoa! Do it again! Skwydd: So, wanna tell us what this is all about? Or do we have to guess? Rex: Circe's in danger. It's Breach. She's-- Circe: Messing with you, Rex. Did you actually see her on the other side? Rex: Well, no, but-- [beat] Oh, okay. Why Hong Kong? Circe: Because it's on the other side of the world? Because she's seriously messed up? Cricket: Kinda like our place. Circe: Trust me. She's back in Abysus right now, laughing it up with the rest of the Pack. Besides, I'm not that easy to find. [Removes the white towel to reveal her shoulder-length black hair partly dyed a deep plum and having donned a dark gray overall dress.] [Rex turns around hiding his embarrassment.] Rex: Okay, Rex, bad intro. Take a do-over. [he turns around] Like the new look. Circe: Wow, a compliment. Skwydd: Yeah. Hey, thanks for sending Circe our way. Cricket: She totally evens out the boy-girl ratio. Rex: [thinking] Boy, girl? Wait a minute? [he looks at Skwydd and Circe, then Cricket and Tuck] I'm not interrupting anything, am I? Skwydd: Apart from the most important meal of the day-- No, we're fine. Cricket: Speaking of which, since Rex killed breakfast. Who's up for Yum Ta? [Circe, Skwydd, Cricket and Tuck walk out, leaving Rex] Rex: Yum-anything works for me. And no one laughed. Bad omen. [In the distance, a Providence holding facility is at the other side of the island. Breach is at the top of the building, struggling to make a portal.] [Breach grunting] Biowulf: Report. What's the delay? Breach: Ugh! They have a phase scrambler. It's messing with my rifts. Biowulf: Perhaps I should send someone more capable. Breach: Perhaps if you quit calling, I'd be done already. [Biowulf is looking at I-Bol, who he is using to communicate with Breach.] Biowulf: Don't mess this up. I'll be watching. Breach: "I'll be watching." [Breach scoffs] Breach: Meanie. [Waitress speaking cantonese] Skywdd: Best table in the house. Rex: I'll just pull up a... floor. We're, um... short of few menus. Skwydd: I'll look on with Cirss. Rex: "Cirrs"? [Cricket speaking cantonese] Rex: Uh, so, what are we having? Cricket: Dim sum. Traditional shared meal. Rex: Shared? Uh, great! Cricket: Dumplings, steamed buns, and-- Ooh!-- The house special-- lovers' prawns! Rex: I don't believe it. [Rex slurps] Rex: They're-- Mnh! They're-- Couples! [Breach gasps] Quarry: Visiting hours are usually four to six. Name's Quarry. To what do I owe the pleasure? Breach: My employer has an offer for you-- A simple job for your freedom. No questions asked. Quarry: You're one of Van Kleiss's people. Did he send you? Breach: No questions! Are you in? Or you want to stay here and rots? [Quarry chuckles] Quarry: Of course I'm in. Just gotta make myself presentable. Have a seat. You look tired. Breach: We have to go. The guards-- Quarry: Relax! Security sweep takes a full three minutes. Plenty of time. So, why would Van Kleiss be interested in a small-time player like me? Breach: You have unique abilities or something. Hooray for you. Quarry: What are we after? Money? Gold? Skywdd: And that's when Circe goes all siren and blasts the bus driver's pants clean off. Circe: Lucky shot. Hit the exact frequency of polyester. Tuck: Good thing his boxers were cotton. [Skywdd, Circe, Cricket and Tuck laughter] Rex: [uncomfortable] Yeah-ha-ha! Hey, Circe, remember when we took down that giant fish head in Cabo Luna? Circe: Rex, please, I'd rather not remember that right now. Skywdd: Yeesh, Rex. Buzzkill. Six: [over the comlink] Rex, update. Rex: Another Breach head fake. You gotta get me out of here. I'm in the middle of what you'd call an... awkward teen situation. Six: I'll send a jump jet. In the meantime, there's a general alert at the local Providence holding cell. Rex: Yes. I am so on it. Circe: You're leaving? Rex: Duty calls. Cricket: You'll miss dessert-- Almond sweetcakes. Rex: Mmm, boy. Breach: And that's all I know. I've said too much. We really need to. Quarry: You do your thing, and I'll do mine. Unh! Breach: Hurry! [Breach grunts] Breach: Can't... hold-- Quarry: On second thought-- Breach: Unh! [Breach groans] Quarry: I'd prefer to work for myself. Rex: Quarry! Quarry: Rex! Would have loved to chat. Perhaps another time. Rex: This was the old friend you were after? Breach: How did you think I meant? [Breach grunts] Rex: What's the matter, Breach? Portal trouble? [Breach gasps] Rex: Looks like your important mission was an epic fail. Too bad. I hear V.K.'s is pretty tough on failure. Breach: Hyah! Rex: And, seriously? Jailbreak? What is this, a cowboy movie? [Breach giggles] Breach: It's a disaster movie... for Providence. Rex: What's that supposed to mean? Breach: Unh-Unh-Unh. No spoilers. Rex: Huh? Uh, h-hey, fella! Scientist 1: What's ironic, when you think of it? We finally create the ultimate weapon and we can't get at it. Scientist 2: The residual field will die down. Theoretically. Scientist 1: Oh, maybe it's fate. Giving us a three-day waiting period. I think maybe we should-- Picking up low-level vibrations. Scientist 2: Seismic? Scientist 1: Rhythmic. Almost like-- Footsteps. Quarry: At ease, gentlemen. I won't be long. Scientist 1: Don't go in there! The field will dissolve any organic matter! [Quarry chuckles] Quarry: Good thing I don't have any. Unique attributes, indeed. Circe: Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! [Skywdd grunts] [Rex breathing heavily] [Rex gasps] Rex: Stop it! Skywdd: What's with him? Circe: Breach-lag. Leapt clean over his bedtime. Rex: Plus, two power naps and my morning-briefing snooze. By the way, you were right. Breach wasn't after you. She freed Quarry. Got this from the Providence security feed. Skywdd: Quarry? Tuck: He's loose? Cricket: Oh, no! Circe: You saw Breach and came back here?! What if she followed you?! Rex: Don't worry. If Breach were here, I'd feel it. [Rex shudders] Rex: She's here. Breach: Hey, girlfriend. Circe: Get out of here, Breach! Breach: But Van Kleiss has so been wanting to chat. Circe: Then deliver a message for him! [Uses her ultrasonic bursts on Breach, who creates a portal behind her, knocking her out with her own sonic abilities.] [Circe screams] Circe: Unh! Rex: Let her go, Breach! Breach: Oh, sorry, Rex. She's gonna save my skin. [Breach giggles] Breach: V.K.'s tough on failure, remember? [Teleports away with an unconscious Circe on her shoulder.] Rex: No! [Quarry breathes heavily] Quarry: Ahh. Hello, world! Skwydd: Circe?! Rex: Breach took her. Six, I need a fix on Quarry. Six: Financial district. Local Providence forces are clearing the area. It looks like-- Rex: Yeah, a disaster movie. I'm already there. Skwydd: Rex, what about-- Rex: Help the others? I'll bring back Cirss. Quarry: Let me just say, I abhor unnecessary violence. But this is very necessary. Well, well, if it isn't Providence's "secret weapon". Say hello to mine. Rex: Whoa! Aah! Unh! [Rex sighs] Rex: No! Stay back! What's your game, Quarry? Planning to start a war? Quarry: Why, yes, Rex-- A bidding war. I'm gonna auction this baby to the deepest pockets. Governments, militaries-- Rex: Terrorists, maniacs, end-of-the-world wackos? Quarry: If they have the money. What they do with it isn't my concern. Rex: I'd be very concerned. Have I told you about Van Kleiss' garden? He has a whole section for double-crossing, two-bit thugs. Quarry: This will buy me all the freedom and immunity I'll ever need, even from him. Rex: Unh! Whoa! Quarry: Pretty slick, huh? It's a molecular destabilizer. Little miss four-arms blabbed the details. [Rex grunts] Quarry: "Suppresses the atomic charge", or so I'm told. Protons and electrons just fly apart. The whole gang. Oh, I'm touched. A regular family reunion. Skywdd: We got your back, Rex. Rex: Never mind me. Help them. Come on, Quarry. Let's see what you got. Quarry: You don't get it, do you? Rex: Unh! Quarry: Everything's made of atoms. Even you. [Rex grunting] Rex: Aaaaah! Hey, that works pretty good. Super-energized atoms. [Quarry grunting] [Rex grunting] Rex: Nope! Nice try! Denied! Rejected! Blocked! [Quarry grunting] [Rex grunting] [Quarry gasps] Quarry: Aaaaah! [Quarry groans] Rex: Just one tap and you're dust. [Quarry grunts] Quarry: Go on! Do it! You never learned. In this business, you gotta be ruthless! Rex: Hold that thought. You can come out now. I got that creeped-out feeling. Breach: Peek-a-boo. Skwydd: It's her! She took Circe! Rex: But not to Van Kleiss. You never went to Abysus, did you? You slipped her into your little pocket dimension. Let her go, Breach! Breach: And I'd agree to that-- Why? Rex: Because you wouldn't want Van Kleiss to see this. Quarry: What? It's not like I'm gonna run away with it. [Breach sighs] Breach: Van Kleiss would skewer me for this. But it's a weapon. Rex: I'm thinking a trade is in order. [Breach releases Circe, who is caught by Skwydd.] Circe: I hate you, Breach. Quarry: Ho ho ho! You make me proud, Rex. You picked up some business sense after all. So, I guess it's back to my cushy Providence cell. Rex: Oh, I'm not trading this. I'm trading you. [Quarry chuckles] Quarry: Well, your sense of humor's coming along, too. Rex: Think, Breach. You can still save face with Van Kleiss. Quarry can take the heat for the whole mess. Quarry: Let's talk! We can work something o-- Circe: Thanks for the save. Rex: You guys look pretty good back there. Circe: Thanks. Rex: Huh? Um, look-- You may or may not have noticed, I've been acting, uh-- weird. Skwydd: Definitely may. Rex: Yeah. Well, I just want to say that I'm fine with, you know, "it"? I'm fine with "it". Circe: "It"? Rex: "It". Uh, being together. You make great couples. Skwydd: Couples? Circe, Cricket and Tuck:" Yeah, right. [Skwydd, Circe, Cricket and Tuck laughter] [Rex chuckles nervously] Rex: I-It just looked like, when you were-- A-and the dumplings and, uh-- uh-- Skwydd: We're friends, Rex. Circe: Really. Just good friends. Tuck: Platonic. Cricket: Strictly platonic. Rex: And I'm strictly an idiot. Anyone know a good place for takeout? Cricket: Ming's in Kwun Tong. Rex: Hey! You did that on purpose! Circe: Can you believe it? Cricket: As if. Skwydd: So, um-- What are you gals doing Saturday night? Circe: Our hair. Tuck: What about next Saturday? Cricket: Nails. Skwydd: One after next? A Family Holiday Dr. Brandon Moses: The pace of study has been staggeringly slow. There have been no significant advancements in nanite research since the original event. Simply put, Providence is not doing enough. What is required is not a military response, but a serious, thoughtful reaction, a scientific answer. The poor and afflicted deserve more. The world, deserves more. Let me introduce Diane. Mother of three. Diane has been diagnosed as incurable, a lost cause. Since then, she's been treated like an animal, locked away from her family... No hope on the horizon. Until now. At Moses Labs, we don't rely on tanks, guns, or secret weapons-- Only an unwavering belief that whatever science breaks, science can fix. Welcome back, Diane.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: Happy birthday, little sister. Rex: Hope that I paid the bills. This is going to be expensive.[Rex grunts]Caesar: Release the hounds.[a door opens revealing some Evo hounds]Rex: Huh? Whoa! Bobo Haha: Heh! I thought that was just a figure of speech. You're a sick puppy. Rex: Aah! Not cool, bro![Rex panting]Rex: [Spanish accent] Agua, por favor. Caesar: Water second, probes first. Rex: No offense, but being a guinea pig is a lot less fun when it's you instead of Holiday. Caesar: Don't I run the biometric tests with the same efficiency? Rex: How are we related? Have you looked at Holiday? Bobo Haha: She ain't my species and even I know she's a hottie. Caesar: She is... very smart. Rex: Where is the Doc anyway? She usually can't wait to get her hands on me. Bobo Haha: Saw her this morning, looking pretty grim. Agent Six: It's her sister. Her sister's birthday to be precise. Holiday gets introspective this time of year. Caesar: Her sister? Oh, is she smart too? Dr. Holiday: Hey guys. Can't talk. Hangar! Bobo Haha: Ah, human dames. I don't know how you guys keep up.[Dr. Holiday pants]Dr. Holiday: Thank you for coming, Dr. Moses. It's a genuine honor. Rex: Who the heck is that guy? Why is Holiday acting all fangirl around him? Caesar: It's Dr. Brandon Moses, the leading researcher in technogenic transmorphing! If anyone's going to develop a kill for EVOs, it's going to be him! Bobo Haha: Now, that's actin' fan-girl. Dr. Brandon Moses: Not the worst I've seen. Dr. Holiday: Can you help her? Dr. Brandon Moses: Beverly would be an excellent candidate for my treatments. Have her transported to my facility. Rex: Hold up! I know you have a bunch of letters after your name, but curing EVOs is what I do. Some of them-- Dr. Holiday: Some you just can't handle, Rex. Dr. Moses' research goes to places you don't, so if you don't mind-- 10 minutes, then we'll be in the air. Thank you, doctor. I've earned 5 years' worth of personal time, Knight. I plan to use it all. White Knight: I don't like it, but I like your sister even less. Go for your "cure", Holiday. But if it doesn't work, don't bring her back.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Agent Six: What do you really know about Dr. Moses? Dr. Holiday: I know what I saw. Agent Six: You're not taking her to the doctor for a checkup. Has he handed you supporting data? Dr. Holiday: Why won't you let me have this? It's the first glimmer of hope I've had since Rex got here. Agent Six: I think you've lost your objectivity. If you can't help her-- Dr. Holiday: That's the point! I can't! I need this cure. If you won't help me, stay out of my way! Rex: Any chance she's right? Agent Six: Hope she is. Rex: But we're not going to sit around and do nothing in case she's wrong, right? Today you're my sidekick-- Not a fashion-challenged soccer mom blocking my mojo. If there's any chance of playing hero for Holiday, I call dibs. Security guard: Dr. Moses' inventions are not for public viewing-- Especially not by Providence.[Security guard grunts]Rex: That "soccer mom" comment really got to you, huh? When did science geeks start packing heat? Huh? Agent Six: Check the machine. Rex: I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, all this thing does is light up and go "ping". They never cured it! This was a scam! Agent Six: Holiday's in trouble. Holiday, Moses is a fraud. There is no cure! Dr. Holiday: What's going on here? Moses, what is this? Dr. Brandon Moses: Business, Dr. Holiday-- Big business. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping aside so I can collect your sister-- Agent Six: Holiday?! What's happening?! Dr. Brandon Moses: Or don't step aside. I'm good either way. Agent Six: Holiday! We've got our coordinates. Go! Rex: It's a hundred miles away! Agent Six: Correct. Rex: Hold on to your swords, old man![Dr. Holiday grunts]:Dr. Holiday: I trusted you! Dr. Brandon Moses: A bad trait, a scientist. But look on the bright side-- You won't be locked in a cell anymore. That was just... Shameful. Rex: Be the hero. Be the hero. Be the--[Rex grunts]Rex: ...Zero. You'll be a lot less grouchy in a few seconds, pal. Half cured? That's new. Dr. Holiday: They've got Beverly. Rex: You wanna talk to her? Agent Six: Now's not the time. Rex: And when exactly is. She needs a friend, Six. Agent Six: I... prefer to keep it professional. Keeps people from getting hurt. Rex: Dude. Take off the sunglasses. She's already hurting. If I were you--[Six gets a radio signal]Agent Six: If you were me, you'd have a lead. Get Holiday. Dust off in 3. Rex: Where are we going? Agent Six: Moses may be a genius but not because he can cure EVOs. He overpowers them-- Hypercharges the nanites with excess energy to push their transformations. Dr. Holiday: That's why Rex only partially cured that EVO he stripped the EVO of its extra power. But at its core, it was still incurable. Rex: We learned something new today. Great. Agent Six: Gets worse. Moses has turned his tech into a cottage industry. He takes incurables and weaponizes them to sell to the highest bidder. Rex: Don't sugarcoat it, Six. Dr. Holiday: How did you find this out? Agent Six: I called some former associates-- People who know things, things that good people shouldn't know about. White Knight: Question-- Why is my keep on an unapproved mission? Rex: It's cool, Knight. We're helping Holiday. White Knight: No! We had a deal! Return to base immediately![Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: It's over guys. I can't drag you down because of my mistake. I won't. Agent Six: Keep returning to base.[Knight ends the transmission]Agent Six: I said the keep is returning to base. I didn't say we'd be on the keep. Rex: You okay? Dr. Holiday: Hanging in there. Rex: Hanging in there is good. I don't like to see you unhappy, you know. I-I mean-- Dr. Holiday: I know what you mean. Thanks. Agent Six: Better luck next time.[Rex gasps]Rex: Jealous much, sidekick? Dr. Holiday: Who is that? Rex: Someone who knows things good people shouldn't. Five: Machine boy! Like the new ax? You owe me for the last one. Agent Six: We'll talk music later, Five. You have word on Moses? Five: Five don't lie. Your guy is running an auction-- Tonight. Agent Six: I owe you. Five: She's a lot more beautiful than you let on, Six. Try not to screw it up this time. Agent Six: You coming? Dr. Brandon Moses: The EVO is the military ordinance of the future. We all know it. You drop one of these babies into your neighbor's backyard, and it's game over. But to get the most annihilation out of your nanites... you need me. Human EVO: You promised to cure! Dr. Brandon Moses: My technology not only amps up their abilities, but, for an extra charge, will modify their behavior to suit your needs. What am I bid for this army of one? Agent Six: [Bursting in] I'll open with extradition for crimes against humanity! Dr. Brandon Moses: [to his bidders] Wait! This is just a minor disturbance.[Moses groans]Dr. Brandon Moses: [to Holiday] Do you know what you just cost me, all for one hopless wreck?! Dr. Holiday: [Holiday hits Moses] Her name is Beverly. Dr. Brandon Moses: Then give sissy a hug. Dr Holiday: No! Don't hurt her, Rex! Rex: Yeah, sure. Handle with care. Whoa! Can you tell her that, too? Agent Six: Going nowhere? Dr. Brandon Moses: Uh, let's not be [chuckling] rash.[Holiday slaps Moses]Dr. Brandon Moses: I'm gonna have to get you a dictionary. Rash will not help anyone, especially not Beverly.[Holiday grabs Moses]Dr. Brandon Moses: Who can still be cured. Dr. Holiday: [Holiday drops Moses] What? Agent Six: [Brandishing his swords] No games. Truth or dead. Rex: Fight still going! Need assistance! Big time! Whoa! Dr. Brandon Moses: I did invent a machine that de-powered nanites, almost. But the bonds and nanite particles were too strong to break. Instead, I discovered that I could reverse the polarity to its maximum, overpowering the nanites. It's easier and-- Profitable. Dr. Holiday: But you did isolate the bonds? So, you can break them! Agent Six: Holiday! Rex: Whoa! Ugh! Unh! Okay, I called hero, but I need some extra kick for my sidekick! Unh! Seriously! Dr. Brandon Moses: Time to earn a return on my investments! Kill them all! Rex: Whoa! Whoa! White Knight: I won't even bother telling you the trouble you're in. Catch those other EVOs and report to my office the moment you're back. Rex: What other EVO-O-O-O-Os?[Rex turns around and notices the EVOs behind him]Rex: Ooos? Rex: Think they got it? Agent Six: They'd better. We're busy. Dr. Holiday: Unh! Okay. That's the flux transponder. That's the nanite energizer. Don't you explode on me-- Not now. Aah! Rex: I'll hand the one crazed sister. You take the other. It'll be like a double date. Don't bother... your sister... while she's working! Dr. Holiday: I can see what he did, but... uh... there's no time! I can't-- I can't help her! It's over. Agent Six: Holiday-- Rebecca-- You are the strongest, smartest woman I have ever met, and the most stubborn.[Six removes his glasses and looks her in the eyes]Agent Six: You never give up. If there's a way to help your sister, find it-- now![Slight pause. Holiday smiles and puts Six's glasses back on his face then leaves]Agent Six: That's my girl. New plan. Corral her to the machine. Rex: Plans are good! Yah! What you got, Doc? Dr. Holiday: Moses was right. The polarity of the nanite energizer is wrong! I have to amplify and reverse it. But I don't have-- Six... Your magna blades-- But it would be too dangerous. Six![Rex grunting]Dr. Holiday: Six! Agent Six: Is it working?[Dr. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: It's working. Rex: Six, get out of there! Agent Six: You called hero on this one, Rex! Finish it-- For her! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Dr. Holiday: Unh! Get them out, Rex-- Both of them-- Now![Dr. Holiday gasps]Rex: Doc! You gotta see this![Dr. Holiday panting]Dr. Holiday: [as she's trying to revive Six] Don't you do this to me! I will hate you forever if you--[Dr. Holiday sighs][Six coughs]Beverly: Rebecca? Dr. Holiday: Beverly! Rex: That was... I'm... Wow! Six, I've never said it before and I'll probably never say it again, but... I'm honored to be your partner. Bobo Haha: Mushy stuff? Oh! Glad I missed it. Rex: But don't ever do anything like that again. Agent Six: Agreed. But you have to admit though... It was worth it.[Dr. Holiday and Beverly laughs]White Knight: We're not running a boarding house here. No more relatives. Dr. Holiday: I just need her for a few more tests, sir. She was only 13 when she went Evo, and she's in a fragile state. Beverly: Woo Hoo![Beverly laughing]Beverly: Rex just took me on a ride through the Zoo on his cycle. White Knight: "Fragile." Right. Rex: We're going to the mall. Dr. Holiday: Are you asking permission? Rex: No. I'm asking if we can have some money. Providence pays me nada. Dr. Holiday: Can I have a word with you? Agent Six: Sure this is a good idea? Could ruin your hero status with Holiday. Rex: It's funny. After meeting Bev, out of nowhere, it hit me that Doc Holiday is just a little too old for me. So, since I'm out of the way, I guess there's nothing stopping you anymore, huh, "hero"? Dr. Holiday: Well... right. I guess... I'll set up those tests.[Holiday starts to walk past Six. Six takes a hold of her hand]Agent Six: Or... we could get some dinner. Dr. Holiday: Outside? In the real world? Like real people? Like a-- Agent Six: Yes. Like a date.[Dr. Holiday gasps]Dr. Holiday: It's about time. Hong Kong Nights Whispers in the Dark Cutting It Close Exposed White Knight: All Providence personnel, this is a priority-one alert. Agent Six: Do not panic. Remember your training. White Knight: In all my years of working at Providence, never have I been put in such a situation. These interlopes could be anywhere at any given moment. Rex Salazar: Hey, what's all the-- Whoa! Sorry. We're late. Bobo Haha: You can't prove a thing! White Knight: Watch what you say. Watch what you do. The very future of Providence may depend upon it. Rex Salazar: So, what's going on? Van Kleiss attack in the HQ again? Agent Six: Worse. Diane Farrah: I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. And to find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long. Rex Salazar: Aah. Diane Farrah: All your questions are about to be answered. Welcome to Providence Exposed! [Camera closes-up on her face] On Ultimate Exposure! And cut. Great into, guys. Okay, moving on. Rex Salazar: This is cool. Agent Six: This is wrong. Rex Salazar: How's my hair? Bobo Haha: Delicious. White Knight: Ladies and gentlemen, the delightful Miss Farrah and her crew have used the Freedom of Information Act to force.[White Knight clears his throat]White Knight: To allow them access to a day in the life of Providence. And to ensure you are afforded the very best Providence has to offer, I'm assigning our top man as your personal guide.[Rex moves towards the news team]White Knight: Six, please show Miss Farrah whatever she wants to see. Agent Six: Agent Six is the name. On behalf of Providence, I'd like to welcome you to our facility. Diane Farrah: Spare me the small talk. I'm here to ask the tough questions, and I expect truthful answers. Agent Six: Shoot. Diane Farrah: So.. is there a Mrs. Six?[Combs her hair]Bobo Haha: Smooth. Rex Salazar: Like you'd have done better. Bobo Haha: Are you kidding? They want exposed. I'm going to give that reporter a piece of my mind and a few other pieces while I'm at it. I got stories that'll make them run screaming for the hills.[Bobo Haha laughs]Agent Six: If you'll follow me, I'll be happy to show you one of our nanite research labs up close and personal. EVO control is our primary area of concentration, but Providence is focused on a great many studies. Each employing the best and the brightest our planet has to offer. Rex Salazar: Thanks, Six. You know, this is my brother's lab. He's only like the smartest guy in the entire world. Yeah, being the best at what we do totally runs in our family. Caesar Salazar: Not a good time. Agent Six: That experiment is highly sensitive. Diane Farrah: So, Agent Six, how did you become a Providence agent? Agent Six: That's also highly sensitive. Rex Salazar: Amazing story though about how I became a Providence agent. See, there was this big accident. Dr. Holiday: Good morning. My name is Dr. Rebecca Holiday, And I'm the chief research officer for the Providence Laboratory Facilities - specializing in the study of evology. Providence's number one priority is the security of our planet. And through the studying and understanding the forces that threaten us-- Diane Farrah: Let's cut to the chase, shall we, doctor? Dr. Holiday: Oh, um, okay. Diane Farrah: How do you balance the threat of EVOs, the constant danger... with being a woman? Dr. Holiday: Uh.[Dr. Holiday laughs nervously]Dr. Holiday: Oh, excuse me. Rex Salazar: Speaking of studying, check this out. You can edit that, right? Diane Farrah: We're all about the editing. Dr. Holiday: Rex, maybe you could show these journalists some of your other duties, like what you're supposed to be doing right now, for instance. Rex Salazar: Oh, man. That's right. Come on. You're going to love this. Diane Farrah: EVOs come from far and wide for a chance to be cured by this young man. How often do you do this? Rex Salazar: At least once a week here at HQ. When I'm in other parts of the county or the world, Providence sets up a mobile cure station. There are a lot of people out there who need my help. I only wish I could get to them all. Wait. Um, let my try again. [after Rex can't cure an EVO] Shut it off. Diane Farrah: But this is really good drama, Rex. Rex Salazar: I asked to be on TV. They didn't. Please give these people their privacy. Bobo Haha: Come on, buddy. Everybody has an off day. Rex Salazar: In front of millions of viewers? So much for everyone's favorite Providence man of mystery. Bobo Haha: Well, they're just lucky they haven't had the camera on me yet. Oh man, talk about Ultimate Exposure. When I get through with them-- Rex Salazar: I just wish I could look cool on camera somehow. Bobo Haha: Phbt! Good luck. The only way that's going to happen now is if some experimental EVOs busted out of their cages and went on a rampage so you could round them up and look like a hero. Diane Farrah: Providence isn't known for being forthcoming with information. I hope this interview will change that. The people want answers and I fully expect them from you. White Knight: Very well. What do you want to know? Diane Farrah: For starters, how do you get fresh milk without any nanites in it? White Knight: If you must know, it's passed through a powerful magnet that removes and neutralizes any nanite activity. Agent Six: Observe.[White Knight smacks lips]White Knight: Anything else? Diane Farrah: Not at the moment, but I'll be back. White Knight: I look forward to it.[White Knight sips]Diane Farrah: So, Agent Six, what do you think about White Knight's obsession with staying nanite-free at the expense of human contact? Agent Six: He's a man of many mysteries. Rex Salazar: Look out! Coming through! Dangerous escaped EVOs on the loose! Stand back! Let a professional handle this! Diane Farrah: Follow him. Rex Salazar: Yeah, I'm kind of awesome. Bobo Haha: Did you get them all? Rex Salazar: How many did you release? Bobo Haha: I don't know, three or four. Rex Salazar: Well, which was it? Three or four?[Rex Salazar gasps]Agent Six: Well then. Now that Rex's little demonstration is over, how about a visit to the Providence gift shop? On me. Diane Farrah: How long has Providence had a gift shop? Agent Six: Since 8:00 A.M. You want to tell me how a class by EVO got out of its electromagnetically-sealed container and just happened to cross paths with our tour? Rex Salazar: It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen here all the time. I just wanted it to happen this time, in front of the camera, all right? Agent Six: Not all right. That last EVO-- You just helped it molt so it could grow. Its body is still out there somewhere, getting bigger. White Knight: Providence is run like a finely tuned machine. Until you decide to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Bobo Haha: Hey, pal, let's leave the comedy to me. White Knight: And how is it exactly that these EVOs got out? Bobo Haha: Okay, Mea Culpa. I may have accidentally knocked open a cage or two-- Or four. Dr. Holiday: That fourth cage was electromagnetically sealed. Bobo Haha: I didn't say it was easy. Dr. Holiday: The EVO we had contained in there feeds on electricity. It must be kept away from any electrical current. Rex Salazar: Then it sure is a good thing this whole place isn't full of electricity. Oh, wait. White Knight: Find it. Subdue it. And most importantly, don't let that camera crew see it. Bobo Haha: Eh, were wastin' time hunting this thing down when I could be on camera right now, giving those people a piece of my mind. Rex Salazar: Hey, I only saw the EVOs empty husk before. What's the real thing look like anyway? Huh? Bobo Haha: That.[Rex Salazar grunts][Rex Salazar grunting]Rex Salazar: Any suggestions? Bobo Haha: Can you make a soccer net?[Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha grunts]Rex Salazar: Aha! Got you cornered now. There's no way out. You're overpowered. Bobo Haha: You were saying? Agent Six: You wanted to interview me. Now's your chance. Go. Diane Farrah: Um... okay. Tell me, Six-- May I call you Six?-- What is the real truth behind the nanite event that created the EVOs? Agent Six: That's classified. Diane Farrah: What is your role, if any, in that event? Agent Six: That's classified, too. Diane Farrah: Are you always this talkative? Agent Six: No comment.[Rex Salazar grunts]Rex Salazar: Wait. Let me do that again. You didn't get my good side. Which is my good side? Bobo Haha: Your backside. Diane Farrah: Agent Six, you promised you were taking us to the heart of the operation. Agent Six: Right. The heart of the operation. This way. Dr. Holiday: [Watching from a monitor] It went right.[Rex goes to his right. Holiday sighs]Dr. Holiday: Camera right![Rex goes to the camera's right]Dr. Holiday: How can you miss it now? It's six feet in diameter and weighs five hundred pounds! Rex Salazar: Less criticizing, more helping! Dr. Holiday: Try to steer it in the direction of Hallway twelve. We can isolate it in the atrium. Rex Salazar: Oh, we've got it contained there now.[Dr. Holiday sighs]Rex Salazar: No, sorry. I was reading that backwards. Hallway twenty one. Dr. Holiday: Rex, Hallway twenty one leads to the central core! Rex Salazar: Okay, so, no big deal. That's a cold-fission reactor, not electric, right? Dr. Holiday: Rex, all electricity is converted from something-- Wind, solar, hydro-- At the central core! Rex Salazar: Ohh.[Providence Agent screams]Rex Salazar: Uh-hoh. Dr. Holiday: Rex, listen carefully and do exactly as I say because we're only going to get one shot at this. Diane Farrah: One shot at what, doctor? Dr. Holiday: The... future. Providence is the future. The future used to be the space program. Now the future is Providence and the science of EVOs. Rex Salazar: Doc? Are you still there? We have a situation. Agent Six: Just a minor downgrade of power during a routine relay check. Nothing to worry about. Rex Salazar: Guys, I could really use some advice right about now![Rex Salazar grunts]White Knight: Attention all Providence Personnel, we have a Level-One Priority...[Realizes the reporters are present]White Knight: Drill. Repeat-- This is our daily drill in the Central Core-- Now. Agent Six: Lunch bell. It's taco day. Anyone hungry? Diane Farrah: Agent Six, while we appreciate the commemorative spoons and the tacos, I can't help but think that you've been hiding something from our viewers. Agent Six: Not at all, ma'am. Providence is an open book.[Rex Salazar screams]Diane Farrah: Cut! You're ruining the shot, Rex. Just be patient. I will get to you-- I promise.[Rex Salazar groans]Agent Six: Get down.[Diane Farrah gasps]Diane Farrah: That was... what you did. Agent Six: Just doing my job, ma'am. Rex Salazar: And I'm just doing mine![Rex Salazar grunts]Rex Salazar: You're not going anywhere now, buddy, except back to your-- Cage? White Knight: We hope that you and the Ultimate Exposure team are enjoying our EVO containment demonstration, Miss Farrah. All part of readiness training here at Providence. Diane Farrah: Can I quote you on that? White Knight: Miss Farah, I'm not gonna stop you from filming, but for your own safety and the safety of your crew, please step back and let my people do what they do best. Alpha Team, I need a containment of the cafeteria, cube formation. Fire! Rex. Rex Salazar: I'm on it. Agent Six: Stay here. This is the real deal. Diane Farrah: Not on your life. Find an elevator. We're missing it. Caesar Salazar: Still not a good ti-i-i-i-i-me! Rex Salazar: Okay, big boy. No more crawl spaces. No more Hallways. Just you and me in a big, old hangar bay mano y mano.[Rex Salazar grunts]Rex Salazar: Huh? Bobo Haha: [after Rex has been repeatedly beaten back by the Evo] Looks like you showed him. Rex Salazar: Are you going to talk, or are you going to help? Bobo Haha: Talk. Kidding! I'm helping! I'm helping![Rex Salazar grunts][Rex Salazar groaning][Rex Salazar groaning][Rex Salazar sighs][Rex Salazar groaning]Diane Farrah: Please tell me you're getting all of this. Rex Salazar: Providence's man of mystery strikes again. Ow! It-- it bit me! Diane Farrah: Quick, grab some B-roll footage before they get rid of all the evidence. Rex Salazar: You did see that I did all the heavy lifting and Six just took out the trash, right? Diane Farah: Don't worry. The camera never lies. Rex Salazar: Yes! Bobo Haha: Good! Then get a load of this! Diane Farah: Do you have something to say?[Camera zooms in on Bobo]Bobo Haha: Oh... oh.[Bobo mutters then passes out]Diane Farrah: I think we have everything we need. Rex Salazar: I don't know how you guys came off looking, but yours truly rocked hard. Just call me Providence's Man of Mystery from now on. Oh, yeah! Stardom starts in five, four, three, two-- Diane Farrah: I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence.

Dr. Holiday: This is a news show? What is the world coming to? Diane Farrah: Look out, ladies. Agent Six is the full package -- brains, brawn, and-- Agent Six: Highly sensitive.

Providence Agent: Uh, that would be Rex, sir. Rex: Man, why is it always grape soda? White Knight: Rex! Rex: I hate it when you do that! White Knight: Why aren't you with the recovery patrols? Rex: Dr. Rylander's lab blew up ages ago. Why do I need to help with the clean-up crew? White Knight: Are you questioning orders? There are loose ends that need to be tied up. Rex: Only White Knight would fight evil by being tidy. White Knight: What was that? Rex: Getting back to the grid so I can tidy up. This mission's a waste of time. There's nothing to find here. Hmm.[Jungle Cat growling]Rex: These'd would look cool on my wall. Maybe not.[Jungle Cat roars][Jungle Cat roaring]Rex: Aah! [after being attacked] He got me! Aah. [Rex checks where he was hit] Ah.
