Generator Rex, Season One (2010-2011)

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!

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)

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)

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:
The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed?

Zag-RS:
His abilities accelerate our progress considerably. Soon all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex.

Skalamander:
What's the kid doing here?

Biowulf:
I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right.

Rex:
What did you do with my friends!?

Salamander:
He thinks we've done something.

Biowulf:
Then let him keep thinking.

Rex:
You know, the nanites in 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!

Six:
He told me he could hear them.

Holiday:
I pulled this off during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it.

Six:
Seems like there are more secrets inside that kid than we thought.

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.

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.

Dr. Rylander:
Rex? Is that you?

Rex:
You know my name.

Dr. Rylandar:
Of course I do! I gave it to you!

Dr. Rylander:
I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck.

Rex:
Dad?

Dr. Rylander:
You've lost your memory, have you? not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be.

Rex:
Oh. So if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Oh, well. Rex Rylander is a goofy name, anyway.

Rex:
Dr. Rylander, I've got to know.

Dr. Rylander:
You must understand. It was never about power or greed. It was able changing the world, saving mankind from disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded until they got involved.

Rex:
What are you talking about?

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 very first actually. All those innocent victims.

Rex:
If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people?

Rylander:
Hmm. "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've begged for more funding.

Rex:
Wait! Everyone you attacked- They all worked on the Nanite Project?

Dr. Rylander:
They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to see 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 E.V.O.!?

Dr. Rylander:
You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was tremendous gamble. The...unexpected side affects name later. It was surprise to all of us. Oh. The look on your brother's face...

Rex:
Brother?

Dr. Rylander:
When the Event occurred, it was your 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.

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's been like!? Not knowing who I am!? If my family's dead or alive!? Quite with the mad scientist act and give me some answers!!

Dr. Rylander:
Forgive me, Rex. I been so consumed with my own guilt I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is-

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. Rylander has always been on borrowed time. All of this belongs to me now. Destroy me and you lose everything.

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. Finally! I started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever.

Six:
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.

Annie:
"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."

Quarry:
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.

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.

Rex (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)

Note:
This episode depicts how young Rex had joined Providence via Six's memories.

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. If only there was another thing to this insane "Kill or Contain" protocol.

Six:
A third option?

Dr. Holiday:
A cure.

Dr. Fell:
You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement, Six. With what we gleam from this boy, I could create tools that could 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?

Knight:
We're supposed to be friends! He's a monster! What do you see in him!?

Six:
Hope.

Six:
I promised him we would help uncover his past, find his family.

White Knight:
Whatever keeps him on his leash. But if ever shows any sign of turning into thing again, it's all on you.

Gatlocke:
Do you like rules?

Rex:
Can't say I do.

Gatlocke:
Feel that? It's quilted. This is the good kind. But I won't be able to really enjoy in until I have those nanites!

Note:
Rex's love interest and sweetheart Circe appears in a vision.

(In the realm of Abysus)

Van Kleiss:
Humiliated, depowered. 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?

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:
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.

Noah:
Again with the Smack Hands. You always open with that move. Change it up a little.

Van Kleiss:
It seems you may have run out of tricks, or you know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands. (Restrains Rex with his gauntlet) 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)

Van Kleiss:
It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my powers, 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) You'll that find 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.

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 any I've ever seen. Molecular scan 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. I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped.

Rex:
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.
