Everyone looked at Rex as if he had grown a second head. There was no possible way that Van Kliess and Rex were actually related. As Rex kept his eyes trained on both parties Holiday was the first to speak up. "Rex, what are you talking about? I know that Van Kliess injected you with his blood, but he manipulated it somehow to control you!"

"Give me some credit Doc, I'm a lot smarter then I look," Rex told her, giving her a grin. He turned to face the trapped Van Kliess who was trying to use his own nanites to break free, but wasn't able to overpower Rex's control. Beads of sweat were trailing down his pale complexion and his breath was erratic. Biowulf and Skalamander looked at him puzzled at even Breach stopped trying to loosen her bonds wondering what was going on.

"I may not understand biology completely, but I do now a few facts after listening to Dr. Hansen and Holiday. For example mother's pass their mitochondria DNA to their child while the fathers share white chromosomal patterns. Another fact all humans share ninety percent of the same DNA pattern. The remaining ten percent makes us up as an individual, but close family members will share even greater DNA similarities. When Dr. Hansen rewrote my DNA she only altered key areas that such as physical appearance, intelligence, and my reproductive cells. You this for two reasons. One to pass your genetics on when it came time for me to sire the next race of Master EVO, but the second was personal wasn't it? You wanted me to believe we were father and son. From what I gathered from looking at the DNA and your discussion with Seven I have to conclude you did it because of obligation and desire. The only conclusion I can come up with based on this info and that I didn't outright reject your DNA is that you're my uncle. Am I right? Well answer me!" Rex shouted his Smack Hands trembling; all around them the earth started quaking.

"Shaka answer him before he loses control and buries us all accidently!" Seven commanded.

"Why should Rex listen to this guy's lies? After all he's tried to kill him several times! How is that family like?" Noah shouted at her.

"Mr. Bradshaw I seriously suggest you close your mouth! Rex please stop! I was going to tell you the truth eventually, but I was hoping to put it off for a few years. The truth is very long and complex story that goes all the way back to before the nanite incident. Please free everyone and hear me out. I promise no one will attack until I'm done."

Rex complied using his technopathy to free everyone. Creating some benches out of tree roots he joined the platforms with him sitting in the middle. Everyone looked at Van Kliess who was pacing nervously. No one not even Seven knew the whole story about what happened five years ago. Whatever he said would shed light on lots of questions that had been plaguing not only Rex, but all of Providence. Finally taking a deep breath he began his tale.

"Your right, I am your uncle. Your parents were my older brother Kacancu and his wife Wilhelmina. It was him who recommended me to work on the nanite project because of my skills and out of the box thinking. It was wonderful time of my life. I was working with cutting edge technology, earning graduate school credit, and I was happily engaged. I dreamed of bringing about a better future for Anya and any children we had. I thought I had it all until our government and private sponsors declared the entire project classified and self contained! They force me to break up with Anya even over my objections. I argued that Anya could help us, but they refuse to allow any information or outsiders getting the slightest hint of what were going on. When I learned about Anya miscarrying I lost it! I destroyed part of the lab and tried to strangle Kacancu to death with Wilhelmina begging us to stop while her two sons, you and your older brother Ron cowered. I slugged him and kicked shouting how it was unfair that he got to keep his family because you two had been born there and I was separated from my love. How dare he get to be a father whiles my child to be had died? That was the closet I had ever come to losing my temper completely. Surprisingly he put up with it. He let me beat him within an inch of his life before hugging my sobbing frame. He said never could understand the pain I was suffering loosing my family, but he hoped that his family could heal the pain in my heart. After that I was like a second father and was even named yours and Ron's guardian should anything happen to you. It was good times."

"Kacancu and Willa were always kind and caring. They never would have let you suffer alone Shaka. Still I can understand the need to keep a lid on the nanite project. It took them more then a decade to get to where they were before the event. They never would have made it that far without total secrecy," Six commented.

"I never knew that the project that Kacancu and Willa were working on was the nanites! Still that doesn't explain you being separated from Rex or how the event even happened," Holiday pointed out.

"Quintessa I see you still haven't gotten over your habit of interrupting people when their lecturing have you? To answer your questions it starts about eight and half months before the nanite event occurred. The three of us plus Rylander were working late in the main lab adapting our new programming to the nanites. We had already made great progress in their design and adaptability, but we still weren't sure how they would respond in a human host. Ron and Rex had stayed up late and were running around the lab. Willa warned them a thousand times not to touch anything! We took our eyes off the boys and were continuing with our work when there was a minor explosion. A pipe had exploded covering Rex with deadly chemicals. They were causing his skin literally to melt and the force of the explosion had compromised his insides. Kacancu and Willa raced him into the infirmary while Rylander stayed behind to monitor the project. I comforted Ron and put him to bed promising that his little brother would be alright, but I knew I was speaking lies."

Van Kliess paused for moment catching his breath. The memories of the past were bubbling up inside overwhelming him and it showed as the plants started to grow and die around him. Looking Rex directly in the eye he continued his story. "The entire team was there in the infirmary trying to save your life, but no matter what we did it wasn't enough. I have never seen my brother beg God for a miracle before, but that is what he did. We had run out of options when someone suggested we use the batch of completed nanites on you. After all the team argued, wasn't that what this whole thing been about? Designing and building tiny microscopic machines to better mankind and helps commune with both technology and nature? Willa protested saying they hadn't even test the nanites in a living body before, that there could be side effect or it could kill him outright. Kacancu convinced her it was the only way. They took you away and for the several hours we played a waiting game. There were times when the team nearly lost you, but you had inheritated your father stubbornness and your mother's never give up attitude. You made it through with flying colors. The next day you didn't even look like you had been in accident. We all were breathing sighs of relief."

"I guess that's when things started to change. Your EVO powers were unlike any of our projections. You could actually hear them and decipher their programming! We worked round the clock trying to duplicate the process. Then we got careless whether it was because of our financial backing demanding that we duplicate our success or our own ambitions. Many of us including my brother and I were eager to push forward, but Willa begged us to wait and work out the bugs. She feared what would happen if we tried to create move EVOs on a large scale. We should have listened to her! That night I was working in the tanks applying some my new design ideas to the developing nanites. We had three batches at the time. The second one, the one I was close to had highly powered nanites, but they were unstable. Construction of key components and programming had yet to be completed. In the next tank were special nanites Rylander and I had designed to mimic and work with others opening new lines of work. The final batch was stable, but the programming wasn't finished. We were storing them in the big mixer trying to use the nanites to fix each other when we lost containment and the entire complex exploded. The explosion pinned me under some of the machinery and imbued me and the whole with the second batch. Ironically the third batch was carried on the winds and ended up Anya while everyone and everything was infected with the last batch. There were so many explosions, fires were everywhere and the ground was shaking. I saw out of the corner of my eye Rex using his powers to shield Ron from most of the damage. Eventually I blacked out and didn't come to until a few weeks later after aftershocks were done and the world had been infected."

"I looked everywhere, but found no other survivors. I thought I lost it all, that this stupid project had taken my last chance at a family! It was then I discovered I was an EVO and my limitations. I vowed then and there to complete my families dream and built Abysus. I found EVOs nurtured them and gave them a home. I found the crazy ones and fed on them! I was going to save the world! Not Providence, especially after what I found out."

"What? What did you find Lord?" Breach asked.

"About a year after the event I learned through my outside contacts that a boy who had a special talent for curing EVOs was being "cared" for by Providence. Eventually I determined it was you and I wanted you back Rex, but I didn't have the power to take you at the time. So I bid my time and waited hoping to bring you to my side of thinking."

"Hold up Mr. Crazy. If you were the kid's uncle this entire time why did you try to turn him into a statue, stole the kid's nanites from Paradise, and tried to choke him to death in NYC! That's not exactly family like!" Bobo hooted.

"Not to mention all those times you threatened people like Meechum, sent Circe to take down a giant EVO squid by herself and attacking the group in the Amazon. Then there's the whole kidnap and make your son scam you just did. Are you sure your Rex's Uncle?" Noah questioned.

"Hey watch your mouth you two! Van Kliess isn't the nicest person, but he always does what he does because he cares!" Skalamander shouted.

"I like to see what you would have done in his place!" Biowulf growled.

"Settle down you two it's alright. As Anya would be happy to testify I have always been short tempered and I lost my mind literally twice! Once during the nanite event and shortly after my original body was destroyed in the Amazon and the biochip containing my entire life history was installed into my cloned body. It shortly after I awoke Anya informed me about the vaccine and Providences' protocols that I needed to act. That's why I got you here Rex. You are the future of our kind. That's the whole story. So now what do you plan to do Rex?"

"Rex, may I reminded you that we are under orders here to retrieve you and the vaccine? If we don't come back with both White Knight is going to nuke this place to prevent Van Kliess from using what he knows to destroy the world," Six pointed out to the teen.

Seven snorted at the mention of White Knight's name. "Oh is that his solution to everything? If he can't have it no one can? We're prepared to defend ourselves against any and all threats. If Providence attempts to destroy us they're going to meet with some serious resistance."

"Anya if Abysus survives you know White Knight will just continue his attacking. It will be a war!"

"Exactly my point Doctor Holiday! Providence attack and Abysus defends so we retaliate. The vicious cycle will continue until it encompasses the entire world. Hundreds if not thousands of innocent beings human and EVO will be harmed or killed in the conflict. All that pain and suffering in the name of peace will end up destroying the two worlds I've come to know. We can't let that happen!"

"Yo Rex since when did you become so smart? I've never seen you act like this before?"

"Maybe he retained some of those smarts from the blood transfusion?"

"Hush, you bring up a good point Rex. It would be best to avoid a conflict, but what would you suggest we do to prevent it? As far as Providence is concerned Van Kleiss and Abysus are a threat to the world. The public views them as nothing less then a terrorist group and danger to the established order."

"The people of Abysus and the EVOs of the world don't view Providence as a savior! They view it as nothing less then a strike force sent to kill them or destroy their homes. You be surprised how many EVOs struggle on the streets or in the wild trying to keep under the radar in order to avoid being contained and experimented on! For EVOs like us Abysus exists as a haven against the world. We are the salvation of EVO kind, not you!" Biowulf barked at Six.

"That's right! Providence is the problem not us!" Skalamander said backing up his body.

"No Skalamander both Providence and Abysus are needed. Just hear me out okay? Providence has done a lot of good. They've cured out of control EVOs, protected the public from harm and repaired any EVO damage. They gave me a home and taught me a lot. They're searching for a cure for EVOs I can't help. That's a lot of good. At the same time Abysus has done a lot of good. Uncle, you've built a safe place for EVOs of all kind! You protect the ones who didn't want to be cured and trained them! You gave me a family. I'm not saying either of these two worlds is perfect far from it. Providences policies and secret projects have to change. If we continue following them how are we no better then what the public thinks of Abysus? Abysus has also got to change. No more raids, attacks on the public, no more violence in attempt to force their ideals on others. Both sides agree I'm the best hope for the future, well I say if there's going to be a future a truce is needed!"

At Rex's statement arguing and protest broke out from both sides. Neither could believe what Rex was asking. How could he expect them to agree to something like that? They were bitter enemies! The arguing stopped when Circe used her second mouth to shut everyone up. They all looked at her and she responded by saying, "I think we should hear Rex's idea out. After all nothing either side has done in the past has resulted in a peace. Go ahead Rex."

"Thanks Circe. As I said earlier things have to change and I intend to make them change. I have to go back with Providence and not just to avoid a war. Circe, Pack mates, try to understand. I know how much each of you suffered, especially you Circe. I can't let that happen again. I'm going to make White Knight change the sterilization policy. I'm also going to make sure his policies for going after resisting EVOs doesn't include trying to burn their homes or labs to the ground."

"We'll help. It's time that White Knight and the rest of Providence stopped treating everyone like they're the enemy. I was horrified when I learned some of the things that Providence did behind my back. I didn't agree to work for them so they could do these kinds of things. The sterilization ends here."

"Yeah and me my family will make sure that Providences doesn't blackmail or bribe civilians anymore. My family and the rest the clinic has had enough of being used. We have enough evidence to show the public the truth. That will help with changing policy."

"Shiny, cute blond Noah is smart!"

"Rex can continue to cure out of control EVOs. For the ones that have control we can offer them a choice of coming to Providence or going to Abysus, but you must be willing to change some of your tactics as well."

"Why should we change anything about us Kaori? After all I'm just ow! What was that for?" Van Kliess said, rubbing his arm were Seven had used her cybernetic hand to shock him.

"Honestly Shaka you're being childish. You know I love you and your charismatic leader and visionary, but public speaking and negotiating with others isn't your forte. I told you I should have handled the UN. Abysus will stop stealing and raiding the places as well as attacking Providence agents. We want to be left alone under our force field to build our utopia. We also want to be able to look for EVOs to join us or monster ones that can Van Kliess can feed on. Also why don't we have Breach here give you back everyone we captured during this little escapade of yours?"

"You mean no ones kicked the bucket? But those wacky weeds and crazy creatures nearly killed us all!"

"You're an idiot you know that?"

"Hey!"

"No ones died during this attack. We have control over the plants and animals and the human EVOs were under direct orders to not kill anyone. I had planned on using them as hostages to get Providence to back off and do as I command, but well now that's changed. Breach, be a dear and teleported all the prisoners to the Keep medical bay for treatment?"

"Right away my Lord! Bye bye dollies you were a lot of fun!" Breach chirped as she returned all the hostages and agents back to Keep for medical treatment. While she did this Circe, Biowulf, and Skalamander took care of all the EVOs out there. "See we take of things!"

"Yeah you do, but what about that vaccine junk? The big boss man won't be happy if we don't come back with it," Bobo pointed out.

"That is one thing I will fight you on. This so called vaccine is a biological weapon of terror in my mind! Do you realize that it's got poison in its chemical makeup? I tested the samples and twenty five percent of the time it mutated people with or without active nanites!"

"Anya I."

"Don't even think about trying to defend this work Quintessa!"

"I'm not I happen to agree with you. I conducted my own research and saw how many shortcuts they took. This vaccine should be back in development and not being readied for human trials. The thing is the idea behind it isn't an evil one. Look at the statics on EVOs. It's more likely in the future more out control EVOs will be created then ones who can control their new forms. Wouldn't it be nice to stop something like that from happening? To work towards curing all EVOs who want to be cure or are currently incurable?"

"Quintessa, what about freedom to chose medical treatment? I like being an EVO. What about letting what the nanites do what they were designed to do?"

"Dr. Hansen, I may speak?" Doc asked, speaking for the first time. Anya turned to her head android and nodded. "We both know that if Providence doesn't get back its vaccine war will break out. I propose we do give them the samples and have Rex permanently delete the data from our computers. In return we give them the samples only we make them inert and in effective. With the data gone and the samples useless the researchers will have to start from scratch. I'm sure Dr. Holiday can make sure they take their time and do it right in the mean time. If they do create a workable safe vaccine I do believe Congress stated that certain groups for ethical or religious reasons are exempt from vaccination. EVOs will have a choice. In the meantime you can continue your work not to create a serum, but perhaps stabilize Lord Van Kleiss nanites so he doesn't have to absorb more or even make the nanites work properly. I'm sure your friend can use the data to find a cure for incurables. Does that sound acceptable?"

"Doc, I knew there was a reason you were my favorite android! It's the perfect solution and if White Knight throws a tantrum I don't give a damn! That mean needs a good kick in the ass! Give me that case! Rex, start deleting the data!" A few minutes later they were finished and Rex was preparing to say his goodbyes and leave, but someone wasn't ready for him to go.

"Rex, please don't go. Stay here with us! It's suicide to go back with Providence. They'll just use you like before! Your family and friends are here," Circe said, barely holding back her tears.

Rex held Circe in his arms giving her an apologetic smile. "Circe, I know you've been hurt in the past by your family. That's why I have to go back. To make sure no one gets hurt like that. I have to look at the big picture, you taught me that. It's not like I'll be gone forever. I'll come back and visit."

"It won't be the same! Rex I need you! I love you Rex! You know I can't go to Providence with you. Not after everything that's happened and especially not now," Circe said looking down sadly, her hands clenched.

"Actually dear I think you should go with Rex," Seven said over everyone's protest. She held up her hand for quite. "Shaka since you ruined our chances of joining the UN we need a new ambassador for Abysus. A teen ambassador who has seen the world and the ways EVOs have been treated would be the perfect ambassador. She could make sure that Providence is keeping their side of the truce and inform them of our goals. Plus she shouldn't be separated from her love like I was. Besides she will be needing Rex in the future seeing as how they're both the future for EVO kind."

"What's with that smile my dear? You only get that when something really good has happened. Care to share with the rest of the group?" Van Kleiss asked.

"Well about the time Rex was laid up from using his new nanites I caught them in a compromising position should we say?" Seven stated causing both teens to blush and their friends to snicker. "Anyways Circe came to me yesterday saying she missed her time of the month. Concerned I ran a detailed blood test. I'm happy to announce that Circe and Rex are the first EVOs to escape the sterilization and conceive."

"Say what? I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Rex, I'm five weeks pregnant," Circe whispered, causing everyone's jaws to drop to the floor. She looked Rex in the eye with tears. "I knew I should have taken the birth control with us. Look I know I said I didn't think I was ready for motherhood and I didn't want to have sex with anyone, but there was a chance you would die and I couldn't just let you go without making love to you. Then you got better and our relationship grew I thought that I could get protection for next time. I didn't think I would get pregnant the first time. I know I'm young and the statics for teen moms are against me, but Rex I don't want to abort this child. I want to have this baby and raise it with you if that's what you want."

"Circe do you think I would abandon you because of this? I know what happened in the past was bad, but I can promise you I'll make a better future for us and our child. I'll make sure no one hurts either of you."

"I'll help monitor your pregnancy and keep both you and the baby healthy," Dr. Holiday said.

"I'll top that. I loan you Doc to be her legal guardian and help out. This baby will show the world there's nothing to fear from EVOs or former ones having children. If Grandpa White Knight tries to abort or use your child he'll have to answer to me!"

"Say what? You're related to White Knight?" Noah gasped.

"Not possible! You look nothing like that stick in the mud!" Skalamander murmured.

"How could someone so nice be related to someone so mean?" Breach asked.

"You never told us this before," Biowulf said.

"Because our relationship's strained after all the stunts he put me through," Seven stated. "Grandpa White Knight's real name is Blanco Knight Hansen. His son was my dad and he wanted nothing to do with us when my dear old dad didn't want to get into the secret governmental agency business. He rather have been an environmentalist and my mom was a nurse. They died when I was sixteen in a boating accident. Grandpa had to take care of me for two long years. Neither of us was happy, but he did agree to pay for schooling if I came to work with him after graduate school. I wasn't interested, especially after he wasn't sympathetic when I miscarried. So I stuck it to him by going to a freelance research lab and doing my own thing. Oh that paranoid germaphobic man was so thrilled when I turned EVO. He thought he finally had me. He offered me an ultimatum and I spat at it. Well I guess you know now Kaori why he asked his troops to use excessive force with me. Well this girl will have the last laugh. Doc will protect Circe and her child. Should he try anything I have enough dirt on him to expose him to the first, second, and third world countries at the drop of a hat!"

"Power to you Dr. Hansen!" I always thought White Knight needed to be taught a lesson!" Rex crowed. He was really happy right now. His two worlds were agreeing and it looked like he could protect both. He went over to say goodbye to his former Pack mates while the adults finished discussing the truce and signing stuff. He gave them a lopsided grin and held out his hand. "Well I guess this is goodbye for now. I'm really going to miss you guys."

"Big shiny brother Rex is going to be a daddy! I get to be an auntie and play with the baby after it's born right?" Breach asked, jumping up and down.

Circe and Rex laughed joyfully before Rex said, "Sure you can Breach, but not until the kid's a couple months old. Babies are fragile. Hey don't look so down girl. I'll be back for visits and I'll even bring Noah so we can go on a double date. How's that sound?"

"That sounds like fun! Yeah!"

"Only you would be happy about going on a date Breach. I'll miss the both of you. You guys made this place rock!" Skalamander mentioned quietly.

"Well its up to you keep the joint jumping now isn't it? So Biowulf you going to miss me too or are you glad I'm leaving?"

"I admit I was jealous of you when you arrived, but now I'm more mature. It won't be easy keeping this truce of yours alive, but I think I can help Van Kleiss keep it in line. Good luck Rex."

Not to far away Holiday and Six were having their own little goodbyes. They were still uneasy about Rex's plan even with a signed agreement, but they were willing to give it a try for the sake of peace.

"It seems strange to me that we were so close in collage and now look at us. We're on opposite sides of an issue we never imagined would come to be," Holiday remarked casually.

"That's how life is Quintessa. You just have to roll with the punches. I will miss you and you as well Kaori. Please take good care of Rex and Circe. They're special to me. They're the kind of kids I want to have one day with Shaka."

"You have my word nothing will happen to either of them. Good luck Anya. Take care," Holiday responded hugging her. The two women were so engrossed in each other they completely missed the exchange between Six and Van Kleiss.

"You realize that I can't force White Knight to agree to this truce. He may very well keep attacking you seeing as you're a threat to the world. I can't just look the other way now just because you're my old collage buddy or Rex's uncle," Six told him, placing the truce agreement in his suit pocket.

"Kaori, I'm egotistical, not stupid. I know how stubborn Providence can be, but I intend to honor this agreement for the sake Rex. He's more important to me then trying to rule the world. I intend to find the rest of my family for both our sakes. You just do your job and I'll do mine. Just make sure Rex stays out of trouble and he visits from time to time. It is good to be on speaking terms with you again, my old friend," Van Kleiss said as they shook hands.

A few minutes later and heartfelt hug between Rex, Van Kliess, and Seven they all waved good bye to each other. Breach then used her portals to send them to central command on the Keep and then transports the Keep halfway back to Providence Headquarters for both safety reasons and to give them a chance to convince White Knight to honor the truce. The second they arrived agents were on Circe, Rex, and Doc restraining them before Six ordered them to stand down.

"Six, what is going on? One minute our forces are fighting for their lives against an army of EVOs, the next minute they are all in the infirmary being tended to and your team arrives twenty minutes later with two of Van Kleiss's agents with us halfway back to Providence. Explain right now."

"Sir, the mission was successful. We managed to secure Rex, who is back to normal and we have the vaccine. However there were unforeseen factors that resulted in something unexpected to happen."

"What do you mean by that exactly?"

"Van Kliess and the entirety of Abysus have agreed to a truce in order to prevent an all out war that would destroy the world. In exchange for us changing our polices, taking the vaccine back to production, and leaving them be they agreed to stop their raids and attacks while staying in Abysus except for when they offer sanctuary to EVOs who have control over their nanites. We agreed to this and they willing allowed the data on the vaccine to be deleted and returned to us inert. As a gesture of goodwill they also gave us Circe who will act as Abysus Ambassador. The android Doc is her guardian and will monitor her health. I have to report that the girl is five weeks pregnant by Rex."

"You have no authority Six to negotiate terms with a terrorist group or even agree to a truce with our enemies! Our policies protect the world from harm! I don't care what you agreed too we will not honor these terms. The vaccine will be recreated and tested on human subjects and that girl will be imprisoned and her pregnancy terminated. Am I understood?"

"No sir I don't and I won't agree to this. Our polices have alienated us from a large part of the world. We have a chance to avoid war and the loss of life. If we push back Van Kliess will tear us apart. The loss of life would be catastrophic. You have to look at the big picture here sir. If we are not at war with Abysus we have time to cure out of control EVOs, protect humans from threats, and even find ways to cure incurables. It's a win win solution."

"Also Sir Dr. Hansen, who is alive and well in Abysus, ran her own tests on the vaccine that confirmed my findings. Twenty five percent of the time the vaccine mutated the human subject turning them into an out of control EVO. When tested on EVO blood it made their nanites go crazy or killed them. This vaccine here is poison! With the data gone the researchers have no choice, but to redevelop it and this time properly," Holiday stated firmly, clutching the bio container tightly.

"Don't forget my family will testify about your blackmail and bribery to get your way. If you think shutting us up will help well it won't. Their patients, the doctors, tons of people know the truth. When word gets out about that and your sterilization protocol I wouldn't be surprised if Providence is shut down for violating human rights. If you think I'm not serious try me!" Noah growled.

"You are not going to harm Circe and you will agree to the terms of the truce White Knight. I'm not a weapon, I'm a person and so is everyone in this room. With my new nanites I can change the world for the better and I'm going to do that. I want my child to grow up in a world where if it is an EVO he or she doesn't have to be feared. The world isn't black and white sir and I think you know that. Besides your granddaughter has something she wants to say to you about this truce," Rex said, ignoring White Knight's stunned face as he pulled out a silver disk from his jacket. He pressed a button on it and set the device down. A few seconds later an AI hologram of Anya appeared.

"Hello Grandpa Blanco did you miss me or are you surprised to see me alive after you tried to have me killed when I didn't agree to work for you?"

"You were a threat to natural order! If you had just listened to me for once in your life I wouldn't have to take such extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of the public."

"Is that how you justified sending in a Swat team to my lab with dangerous weapons that caused an inferno that nearly took innocent lives? Let's be honest for once Grandpa. You don't like the fact when people stand up to you and say enough. The world is not under a constant threat of danger! You need to leave that bubble of yours and experience live."

"You always were naïve Anya. You must have inherited from your parents. Even if you have control over your nanites the majority of EVOs don't. They will kill people! I'm doing what it takes to save the world!"

"There is more then one way to save the world. Abysus is changing, Shaka, yes Shaka, has changed since finding his nephew again."

"Van Kliess has a nephew?"

"Yes, Rex and he will be angry if you try anything to him for revenge. Grandpa you once told me brilliance breeds character, and character creates change and change bring hope to the world. Well that's happened here in Abysus. We are the home for controlled EVOs and the hope of the future lies in Rex. Give his idea for a peace a chance to grow. You might find yourself surprised."

"What happens if I don't Anya? If I confine Rex and terminate the girl's pregnancy?"

"Then I will be forced to reveal all your secrets to the world and don't think I can't! Enough is enough Grandpa. I don't want to that. Just give peace a chance. Until we meet again good bye," Anya's hologram smiled and vanished.

"Seeing as how I have no choice I will honor this truce for now! It will take time to implement change, but I will make the effort. The girl, Circe was it? will be given immunity and protection, but you will also be closely monitor for suspicious activity. I want to be kept update with regular progress reports about her pregnancy. Rex, you will be checked out regularly because of your nanites. If they start acting up you will be imprisoned in the Hole regardless to who you are related. If I find out your supporting him in anyway you will find yourself in hot water! I will go on record I don't like this, but I have no choice, but to agree."

"Ha nice to see you actually agreeing with us for a change," Bobo chattered.
