Chapter 4: United in their own separate way.

Rex and Caesar manage to get above ground at the entrance where Rebecca and Six were first at earlier.

As soon as they reach the area a voice rang out.

"REX!" Dr Holiday said with a surprise. She goes to him and gave him a big hug.

"Woah. Doc. What happened?"

Dr Holiday was covered in dust from top to bottom. Her glowing radiant was hidden underneath soot.

"There were people trap near the burning bikes. But are you ok? Are you hurt?" Dr Holiday changes the subject.

"I'm fine Doc. It takes more than that to get rid of me." Rex said confidently.

"That's what Six said," She then notices Caesar behind the young boy.

"Caesar? What are you-?" She started then continued with, "You better get out of here before Six comes back."

"Why?" Caesar asked.

"Well...I kinda told him about the laser zapping thing and he said he'd decapitate you the next time he sees you." Rex said as he scratches his head.

"And I'm keeping my word..." A voice said and a sword appeared just as sudden to the scientist neck.

"Six! Wait!" Rex blurted out.

"For what?"

"It's ok. He's cool. We're...on good terms." Rex said.

"And how did that happened?" Six said not convinced by the sudden change in his charge heart.

"It's...I...Well, I don't know. I guess it just did. It's kinda hard to stay mad at someone who's..." Rex looks at the two men still tangled swords at neck. He chooses his words carefully, "someone who's...Caesar."

Six retracted the katana and move towards Rex, "Fine. I know where he lives anyway."

Caesar gave involuntarily gulp. "I take it that's not a good thing."

"Not for you," Six said with a smirk.

"Well then I have to go," Caesar said and went his way.

"Caesar!" Doctor Holiday calls out, "It's not too late to come with us, if you want. There's a lot of room at the Dam"

Caesar turns midway and said, "It's ok Doctor Holiday. That's not necessary. There's too much work left to be done. Besides, he smiled, Rex doesn't need me anymore."

"Bro?"

Caesar look Rex in the eyes and said "Sometimes I forget that you're not 10 anymore Rex. You're not the little kid who needs protecting. You can stand on your own and you have friends to help you. I'd only be in the way. Our parents would be proud of you if they were still here today. Just like how I am mijo. If you do need me, mijo, you know where to find me. I'll always be there for you."

That said and done Caesar left for his pod. When he was a distance away, Caesar heard Rex shout back

"Same here Hermano!"

Caesar stop for a while and his father's word rings in his head

'You need him too son.'

Caesar smiles to himself and said quietly "You were right Papi, I do need him too."
