"Otherwise, I'd kill you right now and leave your body to swim in your own pool of blood"Said Rex.
Nami's eyes grew wide as Rex put his hand over her mouth.In an instant her body went limp.It took me several hurs to realize I was still alive and I pulled the rubble off of me.I looked down at myself and realized all my skin was gone.It was rather weird.Instead of skin, I was covered in fire.Man, what was going on? I stood up and my skin formed back.Rex saw me in the hologram and slammed his fist onto the table.
"How did he not die"Yelled Rex
"Hey Rex! You might want to watch your back because i'm coming for you"I yelled up at the sky as I ran out to get into my mech.
Rex grew irritated and threw his holopad against the wall.I searched everywhere on Ryoko and noticed a indent in the side of a mountain.I blew the rocks in and a passage opened up.I walked into the hole in the mountain and followed the passage to a base deep in the rocky mountains.Rex heard the mechanical footsteps and knew I would arrive.He left Nami alone and left the room.I blew open the doors to the rooms and walked in.The rooms were abandoned but I heard footsteps ahead.I moved forward and chased after the footsteps.They led me to a high tech room and I saw Nami hanging from the ceiling.Rex ran back into the room with something that looked like his invention.He tossed it and it exploded, shutting down all electronics.I climbed out of my mech and pulled my gun out.
"Let go of her now"I said,aimingmy gun at Rex.
"You're reverting back to that tactic?Hahaha!You can't shoot me!"Said Rex.
I noticed some gas lines and took note of them.Rex walked over to Nami and released her from the ceiling.He wrapped his arm around her and held her hostage.
