Rex wakes up in a creepy boarding school, full of mannequins and stuffed
animals, but no people. He is able to use his ear-link communicator to
talk to Dr. Holiday, who informs him that he had been fighting an E.V.O.
when Breach appeared out of nowhere and teleported Rex away. Providence
has Breach in custody, but while Six and Bobo are detected in a desert
somewhere, Rex cannot be located. Rex is about to leave the school when
he hears a roar; he rescues a small girl from a spider-like E.V.O. which
he then cures only to have Breach teleport it away. Rex finds the girl
"creepy" and suspects something is wrong with her, but puts on a brave
face for her. Meanwhile, Dr. Holiday is unable to get Breach to
cooperate; she tries firing probes at Breach, who instinctively opens
portals to random spots around the world to protect herself. Rex wanders
through a deserted town; he finds a missing cat poster identifying the
town as Greenville, Ohio. He manifest his hoverbike and tries to drive
away, but falls off a cliff at the edge of the city, discovering it to
be floating in a gray void. Dr. Holiday informs him that Greenville
vanished two years ago, with all its citizens appearing randomly around
the world. She realizes that Breach must have taken it and sent it to a
pocket dimension to use as her personal dollhouse, with Rex as her
latest doll. Rex kicks over a row of mopeds; Breach gets rid of them
through a portal. Rex realizes that this bothers Breach; he begins
wrecking things, with Breach dumping them in random places worldwide.
The little girl then reveals herself to be a shape-shifting, slug-like
E.V.O. with a desperate codependent relationship with Breach. She fights
Rex, but damages Breach's prize possessions in the process. Eventually,
Breach starts having a nervous breakdown, as her "toys" had been the
only thing keeping her stable. During her breakdown, she opens a portal
to Providence. Even though the slug-girl E.V.O. tries to stop him, Rex
escapes, while Breach - her powers out of control - appears to implode,
though it is unspecified whether or not she is dead. Meanwhile, Six and
Bobo are stuck in the desert fighting a nest of large scorpion-like
E.V.O.s, though they are eventually saved when the scorpions are crushed
by cars and trucks ejected from Breach's doll house. Rex, Bobo, Agent
Six, and Holiday fly home in a Providence aircraft; Rex observes that
Breach's toys were a poor alternative to friends, which he is lucky to
have. Holiday tells Six that people can be more fragile than they seem.
