Panic! At the space station
Rex's POV
"2 years have passed since I saved the whole world by curing all of the Evos. The world has been at peace for the longest time it's had since before the Nanite event. People have cheered and thanked me for saving the ones they loved and I tend to bring it up from time to time, which tends to annoy people. And yea, I get why."
I'm currently chilling in the briefing room with Agent 6, being bored out of my mind. And for those who don't know is that he is the 6th most dangerous man on the planet, hence his name and he's awesome. He like the combination of a ninja and an agent. Also hanging in the room is my Evo friend monkey Bobo, while Dr. Holiday, my brother Caesar,and 4 other scientists are up in their new and improved space station working on a way to make weapons to cure Evos.
Third person POV
"Why are we doing this again" said Rex "If Evos start popping out all over the place I can cure them, no sweat".
"While that is true that you cured the world of Evos, we still have nanites in this world, so we don't know when they might start showing up again, Rex" said White Knight, my boss.
"Plus there's still the issue of Van Kleiss. According to the footage for the Consortium building", as he pulled the video footage "Breach pulled Van Kleiss into her own portal" said White Knight on the big monitor.
"Probably into her own little private world", said Rex.
"Probably, so therefore since she brought them to her world, Van Kleiss and the pack weren't cured when you had you little,ahem, God complex. Since Van Kleiss wasn't cured he's still a danger to the world"
"Plus, we all know Van Kleiss still has the power to turn people into Evos. And with Breach at his side, he could pop over the world and turn people into Evos and we don't know how long it'll be till they become incurable", said Caesar as he listened to the conversation.
"So, little brother, we doing this so that when Evos start showing up Providence can cure them so that you won't exhaust yourself".
"Like that time when everyone in the world fell asleep but the Evos and you had to save the world from the bad Evo by yourself with Knight as well" said Holiday, adding to the conversation.
"Ok, point taken" said Rex with a little groan in his voice.
"Good. Now let's let the scientists up there work on the project" said Knight as he turned off of the screen.
"On the plus side if the do find make weapons to cure Evos, I'll have my weekends free. Travel to vacation spots. See parts of the world I've never seen before."
"Ask Circe out on a date" said Bobo with a little snark added to it.
"For the last time Bobo, Circe isn't looking for a relationship. She said since she was cured she just wanted to try a normal life again and that relationship wasn't what she was looking for at the time. So no dating"
"Ok, but I'll bet she only said that to you, cause with that ugly face who would date you ahaha" laughed Bobo.
"Why you little..." said Rex as he formed his Rex Rider and chased after Bobo.
" Those two are going to be the death of me" said Agent 6 with a sigh.
Meanwhile up in the Providence space station, Caesar was working with Holiday with trying to deactivate the nanites.
"This is Caesar Salazar. Test subject. Deactivation of nanites. Test Number 16", said Caesar into his database.
"Alright let's try this one more time". They started up the program and the screen showed the nanites were deactivating.
"Ok so far nothing happening, this might be the breakthrough we hoped for" said Holidy but then the screen showed them reactivating and spazzing out of control.
"Spoke too soon" said Holiday
"Hurry shut the program down. The nanites are reacting in a way I've never seen before" said Caesar but the nanites in the tank they were using started to sputter and shake and before long it blew apart throwing everyone across the room.
Caesar woke up dazed and in pain. He looked up and saw the room lights and screens were flickering on and off. Then the whole station started shaking.
"What's happening" said one of the scientists with them.
"It looks like the explosion short circuited the power to this facility. So if I had to take an educated guess it messed with the turbine engines as well. So we'll be drifting and moving through space until we can get the station fixed and under control again"
"But there were nanites in that tank. Won't we start turning soon" said another scientist.
"I took some precautions in case of an emergency like this. I didn't put a lot of nanites in the tank, just enough for us to do experiments on, so we should be fine for the time being" said Caesar.
The alarm started sounding across all over Providence. "All personal agents report to the main turminal room immediately."
Rex and Bobo heard this and ran straight to the main turminal room.
"What's wrong. Did Van Kleiss show up. Did the Consortium resurface" said Rex thinking of bad things to happen, while Bobo just said
"Oh no they ran out of tacos in the lunch room".
Everyone just looked at Bobo with annoyed looks. "What. Chimps gotta eat".
"Negatory on all of those things. It would seem that the space station is having some problems with its power. Satellite feed shows us that they seem to be losing control of the engines as well. We've tried communicating with them but to no avail. I don't know if they can fix it in time but if this like the last space station incident then we need you Rex to up and help them to fix it. If you don't fix it in time, then the satellite will fall and crash into the earth killing lord knows how many people where ever it lands " Rex walked up and said
"Ok I'll help them again. Hopefully we'll be able to save the station this time" said Rex with determination as he began to run but he stopped and began to remember that last time this happened and turned to Six saying "Don't suppose I can take a shuttle this time"
"Sorry Rex that'll take too long we need you up there now" said Agent Six
Rex sighed "So its the elevator again"
"Affirmative" said White Knight. Rex sighed and went to go grab a spacesuit.
"Just once I would like to do things the easy way not the painful and hard way." He then formed his wings and flew towards the elevator.
He flew as fast as he can towards the lift. He landed on the island and ran straight towards the elevator without stopping.
"Alright I'm on board. Send me up when you can" said Rex. Then the elevator started moving up.
"Rex if we are able to save those people up there..." said Six
"Let me guess you have to crank the elevator to full power" said Rex with a sigh in his voice.
"Affirmative" said Six.
"Alright fire away". Then Rex fell to the floor as the elevator started going at high speeds, practically pulling Rex down to the floor. It the shot past one of the stops for the elevator and kept going.
"Rex, you're getting close to the stopping point. You need to slow down" said Six
"Alright" said Rex with a grunt. He formed his Smack Hands and pressed them against the sides of the elevator and pressed hard. He kept pressing as hard as he could so he wouldn't shoot through the roof. His hands were burning and it hurt but Rex stayed strong. He then finally reached the top.
He took off his helmet so he could breathe better.
"Rex to Providence, I made it to the top. I'm now looking through the porthole window and I see the station" but no one responsed.
He kept calling them but no answer. He was so busy trying to call Providence he wasn't paying attention to outside. When he finally did and say that the space station was coming straight at him he said
"I'm getting a strange sense of De ja vu."
He quickly put his helmet on as the space station the crashed into the elevator station. Rex then started to float in space. When he saw the solar panels coming towards him, he formed his Smack Hands and clung ono the panel. He then started to make his way towards one of the doors on the side of the station. He then put his hand on the panel and told his nanites to open the door. They did so and Rex made his way to the next door and opened it. He then quickly shut the door. He took off his helmet cause he was sweating in that suit.
"Caesar, Holiday, anyone there" he shouted, but no one answered.
He then walked his way to the main turminal. He opened the door walked in and saw everyone working on trying to fix the station.
"Hello" said Rex. Everyone turned around and Caesar and Holiday ran up to him and hugged him.
"Hermano, what are you doing here" said Caesar.
"I came to help you guys fix this station".
"We're afraid we can't fix it Rex" said Holiday as she pulled up satellite feed.
"When the station crashed into the elevator it broke some of the turbine engines. Without all of them functioning together, we can stir this ship. If you had gotten here soon we could've fixed it but with out the engines we'll have to...".
Suddenly the alarm started souding. " What's going on".
"We're getting close to Earths atmosphere. And unfortunately the short circuit activated the self destruct sequence. If we don't leave now we could die" said one of the scientist.
"I'm not going to ask why we have that sort of button on this ship but you heard the lady. To the escape pods" said Rex.
Everyone took their things and went to the pods, but Rex "I'll try and use my nanites to try and slow the ship down with what engines we have as well as the count down to allow you guys to escape. Now go" shouted Rex.
"Come on Hermano" shouted Caesar.
"Go on get out of here. I'll take the other escape pods.Get out of here".
Caesar grunted at his request but went ahead as he said. He made it and they ejected from the station.
When Rex saw that they escaped he let go of the main panel and ran to the next pod. He closed the door and activated the pod just in time but not soon enough. Just as he was getting away from the station it exploded and threw Rex's pods out of balance and chased Rex to fly back and hit his head, rendering him unconscious. The force of the explosion caused his pod to shoot off in the wrong direction, towards the darkness of space.
"Rex nooooooo" shouted Caesar as he saw his brother being shot into the darkest reaches of space. Far away from home and his family.
