''IT'S DARK. PITCH BLACK. QUIET. RAFAEL IS DREAMING STEADILY. SLOW DROPS OF WATER DRIP FROM THE TOP OF HIS DREAM. NOW RAFAEL IS IN A PLACE HE HAS NEVER BEEN IN.''
"Where...where am I?" he asks himself.
A mechanical female voice answers his question, I have been waiting for you...
"Who's there?"
Me...
"Yu-Yubel?"
Yes...
"What are you doing...inside...me?"
Our spirits have been merged together...
"Merged together...what?"
''FLASH BACK''
Remember the day you saved my life from that burning falling medabot stadium? she asked.
When I saw you risking your life to save mine, I knew you were the new medafighter I always searched for. You didn't care about dying as long you made sure I was okay. For that, I am eternally grateful. I wanted to be with you forever until my spirit can be put to rest, so I chose you...
"I see...and how does this affect me?" he asks.
Until the answer comes forth to you, you shall not remember this moment...
''MORNING''
"Rafi...Rafael...wake up," says Meta-Bee.
Meta-Bee shakes Rafael but he won't move.
"Ugh, how does a medabot get his medafighter to wake up?" Meta-Bee looks around and spots a megaphone on the floor. He picks it up and shouts in his ear...
"WAKE UP ALREADY!"
"Whoa!" That wakes him up. "Meta-Bee, what—?"
"Dude you're going to be late for your first day of school, now get up!"
"Why it's only...7:43! I'm going to miss my bus!"
''YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW FAST RAFAEL GOT READY AND STARTED RUNNING TOWARDS THE BUS STOP, ALONG WITH METABEE TRAILING BEHIND HIM.''
"We're going to miss it!" yelled Rafael.
"We?" asks Meta-Bee. "If you hadn't slept like that meda-hobo Yubel, we would've been in that bus!"
"Oh man! We're not going to make it!"
"What's up with all this we?"
"SHUT UP AND KEEP RUNNING!"
An attractive girl looks out the window and catches them running.
"Hey mister?" she asks.
"Yes ma'am?" asked the bus driver.
"There are two people running behind this bus," she says. "A long haired boy, and a weird old looking medabot. I think you should stop for them." The bus driver sighs. The bus stops. Rafael pays his coins and gets an all day bus pass.
"Next time, be here on time," warns the bus driver. Rafael nods.
"You're really lucky I told him to stop," said the girl. "I don't know how long you could've kept on running."
Rafael flicks his bangs to the side. "Yeah thanks. Imagine. The action in which I am making reference to, that being does indeed have the undesirable, added effect of causing a sensation indicating a physical disorder of some sort, which we know as pain; in the collection of muscles and bones below my waist used to support the body, more commonly referred to as my legs, would have perhaps fallen out."
"You have such a colorful vocabulary!" says the girl laughing.
Rafael chuckles too. "Thanks. I get that a lot."
The girl calms down. "My name is Berly Rodriguez."
"I'm Rafael."
"So...is this your first day of high school?" she asks.
"Yup, I'm a freshman!" He shows off his ID. He should actually be a sophomore. He never flunked, he just lost a year.
"Me too!"
"That's cool," he says. "What school are you headed?"
"Metro Tech."
"No way, that's where I'm going!"
"And who's this cute little medabot?" Berly asks Meta-Bee.
"I bet you say that to a lot of medabots," says Meta-Bee blushing.
"Uh-huh. Hey Brass over here."
A sailor looking medabot stands up from the seat.

"Nice medabot," Rafael complimented. "Eh, it even has a skirt."
"Brass why don't you hang with..."
"Meta-Bee," says Meta-Bee.
"Meta-Bee while me and Rafael talk?"
"Sure Berly," said Brass.
"Yeah Meta-Bee?" eyed Rafael cautiously.
"Uh, sure."
"You think Metro is going to suck?" asked Rafael.
"I don't know. Maybe. It'll probably be better than my middle school."
"My middle school wasn't so great either," said Rafael. "Sure I was at the top of my game, hardly ever lost, and represented my country in the world robattling series."
"Aha! Rafael Felix," exclaimed Berly. "Now I see why your name was familiar. I saw your robattle against team Japan on PPV. Oh man, it was so thrilling, that epic robattle, it was the best 50 bucks I've ever spent! Can't believe I'm talking to a celebrity."
"I almost lost my life saving some homeless, abandoned medabot." Rafael crosses his mind for a moment and ahems Yubel. Yubel turns around and says nothing.
"But..." she pointed out. "You look...different." She made a rectangle with her fingers and looked through the hole at Rafael. "You looked so young a couple of months ago and now... you look older."
Uh-oh, thought Rafael. She's onto us. Yubel?
Calm down, said Yubel. She can't prove nothing.
"Well here's our stop. C'mon," said Berly. Everyone got off the bus and began walking toward the school.
"So what do you think of Berly?" Brass asks Meta-Bee.
Meta-Bee with his hands behind his head answers, "She's okay. What do you think of Rafael?"
"He is nice, funny, and sounds smart."
"Ha!" laughed Meta-Bee. "Good one. Now you have my respect."
"Here we are," said Rafael. "Want to look for our classes?"
"Yeah. I don't want to wander around the school being late for my classes when they were right in front of me." Just as they pass a few kids, one girl says, "Well, if it isn't Rafael Felix. One of America's top medafighters."
"Oh no. Please don't tell me that's (turns around)—Pamela!"
"Hey Rafael. Happy to see me?"
"Ecstatic," Rafael replies sarcastically.
"Wow, you've grown so much. I couldn't recognize you under that mop of hair. And I see you're still carrying that old bucket of bolts."
"Bucket of bolts?" cries Meta-Bee.
"Calm down Meta-Bee," soothes Brass.
"If I'm not mistaken, this "bucket of bolts" kicked your medabot's behind plenty of times!"
"Yeah, yeah. That was before I got new medaparts for Pepper-Cat," she says. "Transport!"
She transports her medabot with her shiny, new body.
"Whoa," says Rafael.
"What he said," said Meta-Bee.

"As you can see, I got Pepper-Cat or now called Astro-Cat, the latest new medaparts for the new year. Now, we'll be 100% ready for all new comers!"
"Yeah well, it doesn't really matter because I look forward to shaming you to the delight of everyone here in the public just like old times," says Rafael.
"I bet you'd like that wouldn't you?" she asks.
"Hell yeah! Let's go!"
"As flattering as that sounds, I can't. (Meta-Bee, "What?") I have to look for my classes," says Pamela. "Don't want to be late. C'mon boys." Her same old posse follows her.
"Well she took her sweet moment making fun of me, then decided I was too good for her. She hasn't changed one bit."
"Forget her let's go," said Berly.
''SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN, THERE WAS A SECRET ORGANIZATION SECRETLY PRODUCING SOME OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ROBOTS-KILOBOTS. OF COURSE
YOU WOULD HAVE GUESSED WHO WOULD BE BEHIND THIS- KAM KAMAZAKI. NOW THAT KAM IS OLDER, HE HAS GROWN SMARTER, MADE A COMEBACK, AND PLOT OF MORE WAYS TO BRING THE ERA OF THE KILOBOTS BACK. HIS OLD ONES WERE DESTROYED IN THAT WAR THAT HAPPENED 22 YEARS AGO, SO NOW, HE IS INFLUENCING MISERABLE KIDS INTO DOING HIS TASKS. TRICKING THEM INTO BELIEVING MEDABOTS ARE SATONIC, AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO MATCH THE POWER OF THE KILOBOTS. AND TO RESSURECT HIS MOST POWERFUL KILOBOT AMONG THE WORLD ONE AGAIN GRYPHON, HE MUST AQUIRE THE LIFE FORCE OF MEDAFIGHTERS AND THE ULTIMATE POWER OF A MEDABOT WHO HAS THE POWER TO SUMMON THE MEDAFORCE. ALL OTHER MEDABOTS WHO FAIL TO POSESS THE MEDAFORCE, THEIR POWER GETS DRAINED MAKING THE MEDALS USELESS. AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENS DUE TO THE NEW DANGEROUS POWER KAM HAS CREATED: THE ORICHALCEOUS MEDAL. THIS DEVASTING CARD MAKES THE MEDAFIGTHER WHO USES IT INVINCIBLE AND HIS KILOBOT STRONGER.''
"Yes. Everything is going according to plan," confirmed Kam. "Soon, all my kilobots will be awaken to cause mayhem to the medabot kingdom. Eddie!"
Eddie his butler shows up. "Yes master Kam?"
"Did you send the package?" he asks.
"Shipped like you instructed," said Eddie.
"Excellent," he says. "What about the..." he stops.
"The what?"
"...The Medal?" he finishes. "My most powerful creation ever since Gryphon."
"...Yes. I didn't want to do it. That thing is nothing but danger—"
"Quiet!" snapped Kam. "I had to do it. It's the only way to bring back Gryphon. Without it, how will I ever comeback? I don't think father would be happy if he knew I wasn't satisfied, would he?"
"But your father was presumed dead," said Eddie. "Remember? He was lost in that horrible war years ago."
"Oh well. It isn't my fault," said Kam. "I did my part. He shouldn't have been sticking his nose where it doesn't belong."
"But master—"
"Don't you dare judge me Eddie," warns Kam. "My father would be proud of me for my accomplishments. I had no choice. I needed a way."
"A way?"
"Ever since I created that medabots card game, and had it sponsored by the medabot corporation, medafighters everywhere have been fascinated," he says. "The more medafighters play it, the stronger my chances of bringing back Gryphon will be. Of course all my crew members have the medal card. With out it, my plan would diminish."
"I support your plan master. No matter how much I may hate it."
"Good. Now, when will Jose receive his kilobot?"
"Jose?"
"Jose Alvarado," informed Kam. "That boy you sent the package to, imbecile. Don't tell me you mixed everything up."
"No. Which kilobot was I supposed to send to him?" he asks.
"The one he wanted, of course. Why, which one DID you send him?"
"I don't know its name."
"There were only 3 kilobots left. Locknex, Skelbot, and Desperado. Desperado was the strongest so I figured he'd want it. Turns out I was right."
"When will he receive the kilobot?" Eddie asked.
"If my calculations are to be accurate, I predict he will receive it sometime between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM Sunday," said Kam. "I'm not sure if I'm right, but I'm pretty sure I am."
''HE WAS RIGHT''
High school sophomore Jose Alvarado was outside his house waiting for his kilobot. And he looked pretty mad. Just then, a delivery truck started rousing from the corner.
"Yeah!"
Jose waving his hands. "Hey! You're 3 minutes late."
"I bet you're Jose."
"Well duh!"
"Well there you go," said the delivery man placing everything in the front inside of his doorway. "My master really looks forward to seeing what you got. There is some really good gear. Good luck and good-bye!"
Jose looked all excited. "Hahaha! Okay! Look at this! It's all, top of the line, I can't wait to—huh?" Jose spots a deck of cards, a brand new dark blue meda-disk, and a special card in a little envelope. He rips the envelope to hold the special power rare card.
Jose whispers to himself, "Oh wow." Then he raises his voice. "The Orichalceous Medal. Thank you Kam! Hahahahaha!"
The delivery truck drives away.
''DURING THE NEW DAY AT SCHOOL AT HEALTH CLASS.''
Miss Montesinos, a beautiful and attractive 24-year old health teacher, and also a medabot technician, was talking about the organisms of a body and noticed Rafael wasn't paying attention.
"Rafael? Yohoo, Rafael?" she tried getting his attention.
"Hmm?" says Rafael.
"Since you obviously are paying attention, why don't you tell what a calorie is?"
"Isn't it that one thing where—I um...well—see I don't know! I was about say something if it was a like a calorie in a calorie or something."
"Well maybe you should stop starring in space and start paying attention in class. What's in your mind?" she asks.
"That new medawatch they just announced a few weeks ago. I'm thinking about ways for how I'm going to make money since I can't afford it."
"You can't afford a haircut either!" yelled out Samuel, an African-America. The entire class snickers.
"Oh that reminds me! Thanks Rafael."
She clears her throat. "This week, as a return for the brand new school year, I will be entering 5 random student's names from this class into the raffle. The winner gets either one of the three prizes: An 80 GB i-pod video, a $500 dollar gift card to which ever game store or clothing store you decide, and a brand new white medawatch advance with a new set of medaparts."
"I'll take the i-pod!" yelled Irving.
"I want the clothes I already have an i-pod," said Avilene.
"What about you Rafael?" Mrs. Montesinos asks.
"I don't really care."
"Well I won't tell you who gets entered. I'll let you find out," says Mrs. Montesinos.
"How?" asks Allan.
"With a pop quiz of course. Who ever scores the highest will get entered."
"Aw!" everyone groans.
''AFTER SCHOOL AT A BUS STOP, IT WAS RAINING.''
"Did you order that new medawatch advance V.2?" asked Kyle.
"Of course," said Pamela.
"That watch was expensive. Over $100," says Johnny.
"Yeah, but I know one person who won't get the new medawatch—Rafael," said Pamela.
"Yeah. That's why his medabot still looks like crap," said Kyle.
"I wonder how this works," she pressed a random button.
"Meow! I felt a spark," said Astro-Cat.
"I think it was the medawatch," said Pamela.
"It wasn't."
"Huh?"
The spot Jose at the end of the stop.
"What's the big idea?" said Pamela.
"The problem, is your bot!"
"What?" she asked.
"You want to look at a real bot, say hello, to Desperado!"
''SCREEN FLIPS TO SHOW STATS''

"Do you want to fight?" asked Pamela.
"I would be happy to. Of course if I win, I get your medal."
"My medal?" she said.
"Don't do it boss," said Johnny.
"Chicken! "Jose starts clucking and flapping.
"Grr...okay fine! Go Astro-Cat, thunder shock attack!"
"Desperado, evade. Blast it!" Astro-Cat nearly jumps but gets blasted by Desperado's cannons.
"Astro-Cat no!" Pamela cried.
"Finish it!" ordered Jose.
Desperado finishes Astro-Cat off with his body blasters.
Astro-Cat's medal falls out.
"That was too easy," said Jose. "Looks like I win. Time to take my prize." He bends and picks up the medal.
"No, please!" cried Pamela. "Don't take it!"
"A deal is a deal," said Jose.
"Please give it back," begged Pamela. "I'll do anything!"
"Anything?"
"Well not anything, but something!" said Pamela.
"Fine. It appears you weren't much of a challenge. But I'll let you redeem yourself.
If you can find me a WORTHY opponent, someone who is willing to stand up at the phase of diversity,
the best medafighter in school, then I'll return your medal," said Jose.
"Thank you! You won't regret this!"
"Just hurry before I change my mind."
"Uh, okay!"
She starts running the other direction.
"Who are you going to call?" asks Johnny.
"Someone I have a LONG history with," said Pamela.
''DURING THE RAIN''
Rafael and Meta-Bee are back where they started in the morning—running really, really fast.
"You missed the bus in the morning AND in the afternoon!" cried Meta-Bee as he ran behind him.
"Oh just shut it why don't you?"
They make it to their house in time to answer a phone call.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever," said his mom on the phone, smoking her cigarette. "Hey princess, some chick is on the phone for you."
Rafael gets a few towels and gives some to Meta-Bee so he can dry himself. Rafael gets one and starts drying his hair.
"Hello?"
"Uh..hi there! Buddy?" said Pamela.
Rafael looks annoyed. "...What do you want?"
"Listen...can you do me a favor?"
"I rather not."
"I'll love you forever!"
That killed it. "Are you high?" he asked.
Pamela got fed up. "Listen! Some kid here has Astro-Cat's rare medal. I need you to come in 10 minutes."
Rafael burst laughing. "You're lying." Pamela looked like she was going to have a heart attack on the other line. "Your medabot doesn't have a rare medal."
"Okay, I might have stretched the truth a little. But there really is a guy who has Astro-Cat hostage."
"That doesn't sound good."
"And he wants you to robattle him for it back. Can you please come and save Astro-Cat?"
Rafael startled. "...You mean...I have to go back outside?" he said looking out the window. "I was just running outside!"
"Please!"
Rafael felt pity for her. He sighs. "Alright. I'm on my way. Bye."
"What's going on?" said Meta-Bee as he was drying himself.
"Some guy stole Astro-Cat's medal. And he's auctioning it off to whoever beats him. Pamela wants me to defeat him. Better get over it."
"But I just got dry," he complained.
"Yes, that's what I said. Man you never listen to me! Not even when I'm on the phone."
"Isn't it obvious? I'm an ignorer."
''33 MINUTES LATER''
"Where were you?" said Pamela angrily. "You were supposed to be here in 10 minutes."
Rafael catches his breath again. "...We were running!"
"Right. That's 3 times in one day I ran so far and so fast. That's enough exercise for me," said Meta-Bee.
"Whatever. Now give me back my medal!"
"Nah," said Jose.
"But you said if I brought you Rafael Felix and Meta-Bee, you would give it back to me!"
"They are? They don't look so tough."
"Look at their faces! They're Rafael Felix and Meta-Bee!"
"Oh alright. Quit your whining." He tosses the medal and it almost falls in the sewers.
Pamela screams. Pamela grabs her medal to her heart. "Oh Astro-Cat, that was close."
"Enough stalling! Let's get on with it!" said Jose.
"You got her medal back?" asked Kyle.
"Yes. Now were going to leave and fix up Astro-Cat."
"Yes ma'am!" said the boys.
"Hey Pamela, aren't you going to stay and watch us destroy this guy?" asked Rafael.
Kyle was carrying Astro-Cat away from danger along with the posse. "Yeah, we don't want to get in your way. Go do your winning and all that!" said Pamela.
"Are you ready to lose kid?" asked Jose.
Rafael smiling with confidence. "I should be asking you the same thing. Ready Meta-Bee?"
"I been ready!"
"Alright! Let's robattle!"
"Very well. I guess this would be the perfect time to use my new deck. He pulls out a deck of cards out of his deck box on his belt and inserts it into his medadisk. "Now I'm ready!"
"Life points...set to 500. First one out of points loses."
"Agreed."
Jose & Rafael, "ROBATTLE!"
"I'll start things off." Jose picks a card from his deck. He looks at his selected cards.
"I'll set aside Desperado for the moment. I'll place an ability medacard in my slot for later. And I'll summon a medabot tribute token. Mongolio!"
''SCREEN FLIPS TO SHOW STATS''
Mongolio (token) specialty, strong resistance
"Not bad huh?"
Rafael looks at his hand.
I don't think I have anything useful at this moment, thought Rafael. Maybe this equip card will do some damage.
"Active ability card—Ambition! This card raises my medabot's speed higher. And I'll also give Meta-Bee this: Beetle's nest! This card can not only raise Meta-Bee's attack, plus his defense! Making him less vulnerable to apply damage to himself! Go Meta-Bee!" Meta-Bee leaps high in the rain.
"YAH! Laser cannon!"
"I don't think so! Active ability card—Safe guard!"
A barrier blocks Meta-Bee's lasers.
"This barrier can keep all my medabots safe from any damage for one whole turn," explained Jose. "But don't worry, your attack isn't going to waste."
The bullets bounce right off Mongolio's barrier that Meta-Bee's own bullets come right at him.
"OW! Not the paint!"
Rafael's medawatch, "WARNING WARNING META-BEE SLIGHT BODY DAMAGE ARMS 30 PERCENT."
Rafael pulls a card from his deck.
Perfect! thought Rafael. "Meta-Bee, fall back! I'll use Beetlebot."
''SCREEN FLIPS TO SHOW TOKEN STATS''
Beetlebot (token) specialty, Sharp Sword.
"And I'll also equip this ability card with Beetlebot. This can raise Beetlebot's stats for one turn. Enough to disintegrate your barrier. Beetlebot, sharp sword!"
Beetlebot takes out his sharp sword and breaks the barrier thus striking Mongolio. Some of Jose's points drop.
"Not bad for a first timer. Now time to get serious."
Jose pulls out a card. He grins evilly. "Oh man. Boy are you in for reconciling fate."
"Fate?" Rafael had no idea what he was talking about. "What are you talking about?"
"Allow me to demonstrate. Activate—Orichalceous Medal!"
"Orichalceous what?"
Suddenly the entire area gets windy. The entire area is being surrounded as a giant, floating red hexagon exactly the shape as a medabot's medal with the letter X in the medal. It touches the ground. And everyone is trapped inside it with no way out.
"What...what is this?" demanded Rafael.
"Whoa, what's up with all the fireworks?" asked Meta-Bee.
"This is the beginning of the end for you! Hahahaha!"
COMMERCIAL BREAK ( Medabots! ) Meta-Bee appears on screen and does a flip kick.
"Soon, you'll be history! The power of the Orichalceous medal allows my medabots to gain amazing strength! Observe."
Mongolio's strength just rose.
"What? What the hell?"
"Attack!" Mongolio destroyed Beetlebot. "Now attack his medabot!"
Mongolio starts running toward Meta-Bee.
"Rafael, what do I do?"
"I, I don't know."
Mongolio socked Meta-Bee and send him flying back. "Ah! Ow!"
Rafael's medawatch, "META-BEE, 75 PERCENT ALL BODY DAMAGE."
"Okay, Meta-Bee, missile launch!"
"Missile launch!"
Mongolio crushes his missiles with his giant hands.
"Aw man!" said Meta-Bee.
"Heheheheh! Your old tricks won't save you anymore. Desperado, move center. Mongolio, fall back!"
Desperado starts walking toward Meta-Bee.
"Oh no. Do something Rafael."
"And I'll offer Mongolio to raise Desperado's strength even higher."
"Higher?" repeated Rafael.
Mongolio's strength gets sacrificed to raw energy and transferred to Desperado causing him to get stronger.
"Attack!"
Desperado shoots Meta-Bee.
"There's only one way to win this. Meta-Bee use the medaforce!"
Meta-Bee summons all his strength and roars.
This should be interesting, thought Jose.
"MEDAFORCE!"
Apparently if you haven't noticed, the medaforce had no affect. Desperado remained standing, unharmed.
Rafael was shocked. "It didn't work. Not even, a scratch."
"Oh no...losing strength..." said Meta-Bee as he began falling.
"Isn't it obvious? Kilobots are specially built to withstand the medaforce. Due to no emotions."
"Kilobots? Emotions?"
"Yes. Kilobots are medabots without emotions and their only purpose is to win and destroy! Now, time to finish your medabot!"
Desperado gets ready to finish off Meta-Bee.
"Blasters ignition, now! Full power! Fire!" Desperado fires Meta-Bee and sends him flying back, bouncing onto the Orichalceous barrier.
Rafael's medawatch, "META-BEE 100 % DAMAGE. FUNCTION CEASE."
Meta-Bee's medal falls out of his body. Desperado continues to shoot Meta-Bee's empty body.
"What are you doing?" yelled Rafael.
"Hey, that was fun. Keep blasting him!"
Desperado refuses to stop.
"Quit it!"
Steamed started to come out of Meta-Bee. Finally he stopped. Meta-Bee looked badly damaged and all scraped up with scratches. Rafael just looked at Meta-Bee, in utter disbelief.
"Now, it's time to pay," said Jose.
Suddenly the giant glowing red hexagon started spinning around.
"What's going on?"
"You have lost the robattle."
"So?"
"So the consequence for your loss is to pay with your medabot's power. And your life force!"
"My...life force, what?"
"See ya!"
The red hexagon started circling Rafael and Meta-Bee. For some odd reason Rafael's body began to glow yellow and didn't get affected by the hexagon. He didn't even notice the effect. However, Meta-Bee's rare medal was drained by all of its rare powers.
Rafael covering himself, "Meta-Bee!"
"Hahahahaha!"
After everything cleared, Jose held some special card in his hand.
"At last, the medaforce. In card form. It is in the palm of my hand."
Rafael runs toward the lifeless, Meta-Bee.
"You won't get away with this!"
"But I already did. Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
''BACK IN JAPAN AT THE KILOBOT CORPORATION''
"Kam? Master Kam? I came back on the private jet."
"Excellent," said Kam. "And have you brought me a soul, and a medabot's power?"
"Well, I brought the medabot, but not a soul."
"What? I need that energy to produce it in order to supply more life power to Gryphon!"
"Hey hey don't get mad at me. I don't know, he didn't get affected."
"Which medabot's power did you acquire?"
"Some medabot name Meta-Bee."
"Meta-Bee? That can't be right. I destroyed a medabot named Meta-Bee a long time ago."
"This one may be different then the one you've come to known."
"Name his strengths."
"His strengths?"
"His special abilities and all that you buffoon!"
"Oh, yeah.. Uh, he has laser cannon, he's got seeker missiles, and the medaforce."
"Hmm...," said Kam. "It appears this Meta-Bee maybe be as strong as the one I fought back then. Only time will tell. Give it to me."
"Give what to you?"
"The medaforce!"
"Oh yeah."
Jose hands Kam the medaforce card.
"Excellent." Kam places the medaforce in the middle of his kilobot sanctuary. "Beautiful. Tell me the name of this medafighter you fought."
"I think his name was Rafael."
"Well Rafael, we will make your life a living hell. And I shall acquire your life force to power up Gryphon. Jose, I want you to go back and robattle Rafael once again. And this time, capture his life force!"
"Okay! I'm on it!"
''AT SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY''
Rafael was walking through the big crowd at school to get to his next class when Rafael's health teacher runs into him.
"Hey Rafael."
He just looks up to her.
"I have some good news for you."
"And that is?"
"Remember how I entered your name in that student raffle where the winner gets either an i-pod, a gift card, or a free medawatch PLUS a new set of medaparts?"
He nods.
Miss Montesinos was looking happy. "Well, you won!"
"I won? Are you serious?" Now Rafael was cheering up.
Miss Montesinos said, "Yes way. My old mentor designed these parts to be delivered especially to you." She hands him a big box with the parts inside.
"Thanks Miss."
"The medawatch is inside. And you can even combine the watch with your medadisk. Look how convenient technology is!" She leaves. Later that day, Rafael and Meta-Bee were hanging out behind the school near the back gates where the school buses drop and take students home.
"We can't just stand here! We have to get my medaforce back!"
"Huh?" Rafael wasn't paying attention to Meta-Bee. He was to busy admiring his new medadisk. "Oh what your mother said."
"I don't have a mother!"
"Look I lost. There is nothing I can do Meta-Bee. You just have to accept the fact that you will never be able to summon the medaforce again."
"What? So that's it?"
"Yup. Wanna go to Mickie D's?"
"I can't believe you. You're an embarrassment to all medafighters! You don't deserve to be World Champion!"
"Meta-Bee, be quiet!"
"I'm serious! You're a medafailure! A medaphony! A medaloser!"
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
Rafael takes a swing at Meta-Bee.
"Ow!"
"Take that bug!"
Meta-Bee punches Rafael back in the jaw.
"Oh!"
"Not so tough and mighty now, are you chump!" Rafael growls. They rustle for a short moment until Berly walks up to them.
"Hi Rafael." They both stop.
"I got a B on my Algebra quiz, thanks to your awesome tutoring. What did you get?"
Rafael doesn't respond.
"Are you okay? Because you are ignoring me and I do NOT like being ignored. So spill. What's going on?"
"Berly, I lost."
"A robattle? So?"
"So? So? Don't you understand how serious this is? Meta-Bee lost it!"
"Lost what?"
"THE MEDAFORCE!"
"What's that?"
Rafael lost it. "THE ULTIMATE POWER OF A MEDABOT! NOW WE CAN NEVER USE THE MEDAFORCE AGAIN! GOD, DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING!" EBerly looks at him like it's her fault.
Rafael sighs. "Sorry Berly. You didn't do anything. Meta-Bee has lost the medaforce, the special ability that a rare medal has. Now all Meta-Bee has is, a medal."
"Not in front of the public!" squeals Meta-Bee.
"Well I have to get going home. I'll see you tomorrow." She leaves.
"So now what?"
Rafael gets paranoid. "Look, just don't worry about it. I'll figure something out."
"You better. Our reputation is at stake! We can't afford to go around town knowing we're now losers. I hardly ever lose."
"You won't have to. Just stay low and you'll be fine. Let's see if an idea comes to us."
''30 MINUTES LATER''
"I got nothing."
"Me neither," said Meta-Bee sadly.
"You, Yubel?"
I'm sorry, I don't.
"Jose is unstoppable. With that Orichalceous card, he'll never lose. Plus that shiz is dangerous. We can't defeat him. And I don't say this but, we don't stand a chance."
They both sigh.
"So, this is it? I'll never use the medaforce again?"
"For the mean time, no."
Suddenly Rafael's cell phone rang. He got a text message. He read it out loud. "NEED UR HELP. BEHIND JROTC BUILDING. COME QUICK!"
"Who's it from?" asked Meta-Bee.
"It's from Berly."
They hear a girl scream.
"That's her!"
"I bet Jose is behind this!" said Meta-Bee.
"We have to stop Jose before he hurts Berly, or worse, uses the Orichalceous Medal. Let's go Meta-Bee." Before Berly left, she forgot to get some homework she left behind. Jose happened to walk by and assaulted them. He forced her to fight, and even though she didn't want to, but she had no choice. She lost like nothing, but Jose refused to stop the damage.
"Please! Stop!" cried Berly. Desperado continued to shoot around Brass's medal.
"Hahahahahahaha! I'll find you Rafael!"
"You already won, stop!"
"Desperado, destroy her medal," ordered Jose.
"Please no!" she begged.
"Hey!" Rafael and Meta-Bee ran up and slid to a complete stop. "Jose! Leave her alone, or else!"
"Rafael!" she cried happily.
"You finally showed up! A couple more minutes and I would have destroyed your friend's medal."
Rafael kneeled down Berly's side. "You okay?"
"I am now," she smiled at him with gratitude.
"Come on! I'm not gonna waste my whole time with you stalling." Jose began to walk around clockwise, chuckling. "You know, I'm sort of glad you came just in time. Now's my chance to defeat you in front of your friend."
Rafael walked around too, counter-clockwise. He was also smiling. "Yeah well this time it's going to be a completely different story."
"We'll see about that," smirked Jose. He stops walking and so does Rafael. "Attack Desperado!"
"Go Meta-Bee!"
"Hey-yaaa!" Meta-Bee fired laser cannon. The bullets didn't do any damage.
"Desperado, blasters!" Desperado blasted Meta-Bee.
"Desperado, lock on target."
"Target locked," said the kilobot.
"Fire!"
"Dodge Meta-Bee!"
He dodges.
"We'll never win this way!" said Rafael.
"You can't win at all!" laughed Jose.
Oh really? thought Rafael. I have an idea. "Time out!"
"Time out?" gasped Jose. "What is this, a game of baseball?"
"Yeah what's the big idea?" asked Meta-Bee.
"Uh nothing. Just give us 30 seconds will you?"
"Uh sure. Why not?" Jose had no idea what was going on. Rafael grabbed Meta-Bee by the arm and dragged him closer.
"Hey, what—?"
"What do you say? Should we try out the new medaparts we won in that raffle?" whispered Rafael.
"But we haven't even tested them out!"
"Well lets do it right now! I'll transport your current medaparts home. Transport, medaparts!"
Meta-Bee's current set transported back home.
"Apply new medaparts!"
Meta-Bee is now wearing the new set Miss Montesinos gave them.
"Whoa! I feel like a new medabot! Alright cheaters, are you ready for the new and improved Meta-Bee?"
''SCREEN FLIPS TO SHOW THE STATS''
Shin Meta-Bee [medabot] specialty, Reaction Bombs.
"Wow, a new Meta-Bee?" Berly looked amazed.
Jose looks startled. "Your 30 seconds are up! Desperado fire!"
Desperado shoots.
Look out! cried Yubel.
Rafael and Meta-Bee moved out of the way.
"Alright Jose, now were ready. Let's robattle!"
Rafael and Jose's points hit 500. They pick their cards.
"I play the Orichalceous medal!"
"Hold on!" stopped Rafael.
"Huh?" startled Jose.
"Predictable," said Rafael shaking his head.
"What?"
"It clearly shows that your creativity is far below to compress with the unique styles of robattling," said Rafael. "The more you continue to use that card, the lower your sensibility drops. If you really want to prove you're better than me, then you won't play that card, and play fair."
"Sorry, can't do that."
"It's okay if you're scared. I mean, cheating is the only way to beat a world champion."
"I'm not scared!"
" Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat! Who's the big fat scaredy-cat? " sang Rafael and Meta-Bee dancing around. Jose looked furious.
"Oh, boy," says Berly.
Jose struggles to make a decision. He finally says "Arg, fine! Whatever." He doesn't play it. He puts it away.
"Sorry Kam, but this is MY robattle now," said Jose.
"I can't believe that actually worked," said Berly relieved.
"I don't need a bunch of cards to beat you twice! Desperado attack!"
Desperado shoots. Meta-Bee barely dodges.
The new medaparts increased his speed, but that's not enough to defeat his kilobot, thought Rafael. I need to think of a way to attack him from behind.
He suddenly notices a blinking image on his medawatch.
"What's this? Medachange? I have no idea what that is." He looks at Meta-Bee struggling to continue avoiding all those hits. "But I guess it's worth a shot. Meta-Bee! Medachange!"
"Wait, medachange? What the hell—whoa!"
He suddenly changes into some weird looking car.
"What?" gasped Jose.
"Meta-Bee, transformed?" said Berly.
"How do I steer myself!"
"Bad idea! Okay, can you convert back into a medabot?"
"I'll try! Hang on, let me get behind Desperado without killing myself."
Meta-Bee managed to confuse Desperado in circles (due to Meta-Bee's poor coordination) but managed to get behind Desperado.
"Desperado, look out!" yelled Jose.
Meta-Bee converts back into a medabot and jumps high in the air. "Reactor bombs!"
His bombs blast from the red on his new horns directly at Desperado right in his medal compartment. Desperado functions and his medal falls out.
Meta-Bee bends down and picks up the kilobot's medal. "Kiss your bot good-bye," he said flicking the Ex-medal in the air.
"Impossible!" gasped Jose.
"We did it!"
"Yes!" cheered Berly still holding on to Brass.
"Where did they get that transforming robot?" wondered Jose. "Transport kilobot." He transports Desperado back home. "This war is not over, you hear me? Kam and I will be back! Along with the rest of our allies. Watch your back!" He runs away.
"Kam?"
"That was awesome!" cried Meta-Bee. "I feel so alive with my new body!"
"I'm glad to hear it. We will analyze your new medaparts for later, to examine whether or not they are safe. But now, we know what we're up against. Kilobots and this Orichalceous power, Only God knows what that Orichalceous can really do. But for now, our main priority, is to destroy these kilobots!"
''BACK IN JAPAN''
"Uh, master?" said Jose a bit nervous.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I, uh, lost," he spit the words right out.
"You lost? Even with the super kilobot I have given you?"
"The medabot transformed! Why can't mine do that?"
"They can, but not yours. So it is exactly like the original one. No problem. I've fought with it before, and I know exactly how to destroy it. I shall begin producing new kilobots in order to destroy Meta-Bee. In the meantime, I want you to fully master the Orichalceous power."
"Yes master!" He runs off.
"Rafael, Meta-Bee, one day, our paths will come across. And when they do, say good-bye to your medabot, and your life force!"
''WILL RAFAEL AND METABEE EVER MEET KAM AND HIS ALLIANCES? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON
Medabots – Waking the Kilobots!''
Today's robattle:
Meta-Bee gains new medaparts in order to defeat Desperado.
More Medabots, More Power!
