Chapter 1: So it Begins Again
It was the final three weeks of summer for the gang, before they had to go to all kids' worst nightmare. That's right, before they had to go back to school. Many things happened since we last seen our heroes. The World Robattling Championships were called off that year due to corruption, the objects stolen suddenly reappeared in the museums again, and beyond all else, the gang found out Warren was staying here. Well, only Henry had a problem, the others found it funny how Henry kept chasing Warren and Dragonite out of his store when he got annoyed too far.
The scene is Riverview, Japan in the home of the Brochette residents. Currently in the room of one, Matthew Brochette, Medafighter, repair expert, and a wonder with building electronics. At the moment, Matt was on his computer surfing the web, and reading a news report he just got, and a few e-mails from friends. The report was about strange robots called Kilobots, these robots seemed like Medabots, but tougher. From the e-mails, he got information from some friends talking about these Kilobot things. But all of them contained saying how they got their butt kicks from Kilobot users. Matt was starting to wonder if he'll ever get a chance to challenge one of these Kilobot things.
Shrugging to himself after reading the last e-mail, he disconnected from the net and worked on some schematics of the Ninja-Strike body. From what he already saw and knew, the Robos were still out there, and had a copy to the Ninja-Strike design. They also had the designs of an ionic blaster weapon attachment he was designing. Matt never even built a prototype of the ionic blaster, so he had no clue how much punch it would have. Then again, knowing himself better than anyone, he guessed the ionic blaster would pack quite a punch.
Shaking his head slightly, he looked over the schematics. He wasn't sure if he could make the Ninja-Strike body anymore powerful than it already was. Not only was it as powerful as he could make, it was as fast as he could make. More weapons than any Medabot should have, katana, Jo, two wakizashi, a large array of kunai and shuriken for projectiles, smoke bombs, and then some. Take in account of the powers his Medabot already has, it is a deadly combination. However, Matt knows, no matter how good you are, there is always someone better than you. How soon he'd meet this person, he had no idea.
A sudden beeping noise caught his attention. Turning his head to his to the mini-computer on his bed. He got up out of his chair and flipped the screen. Blinking a few times from the e-mail, he read it again, before saving the e-mail and leaving his room only to bump into his into his still pajama wearing blonde cousin. Rubbing his head a little, he grinned an apologetic smile to his cousin.
"Sorry, cuz." apologized Matt, still having that tiny apologetic grin on his face.
"Hey, no problem. Just wanted to see what you were up to, since you were in your room after eating breakfast without saying a word." replied Alexis, ruffling Matt's hair.
"Hey! Don't do that....." sweatdropped Matt as he took a step back from his cousin and fixed his hair the best he could. Looking his cousin up and down, he raised an eyebrow. "What's with the pajamas? It's," Matt checked his Medawatch for the time, "12 in the afternoon. You should be dressed in normal clothes by now."
"I need to take a shower first, now don't I? I just planned on checking up on you before I did. Now, you didn't say what you were doing. So, out with it cuz, what were ya doing?"
"What else? Looking at schematics and reading e-mails." answered Matt. "Oh, that reminds me. Your friend from Arizona is coming to here for vacation."
"You mean Amanda? Cool!" exclaimed Alexis dancing for joy. "Hey....how can she stay here when summer is almost over?"
"She plans on being a foreign exchanged student for two years at the high school you'll be going to."
"Cool! Cool! COOL!" yelled Alexis jumping up and down, and running to the bathroom the take a shower.
"Surprised she didn't ask when Amanda was coming.......or that she has a Medabot now. Custom job from what the e-mail said. Well, Amanda will be here in two days from now. Wonder what her foreign exchange parents are going to be like." mused Matt to himself, and went back into his room for a few things.
Merrick and N-Blade were in the backyard of the Brochette household practicing their battle forms with Link and Wolfbane watching. Ninja and Ninja-type were in perfect sync. Eyes and optics closed, the two were both calm in their body movements. To anyone watching, they'd probably find it odd for a human and Medabot were training like this. But the people who knew about N-Blade and Merrick, knew it was to keep Merrick in shape, and try and help N-Blade remember his past.
"Think that is enough for today, N-Blade." said Merrick as he stopped. "You are better than you were before we started this."
"I guess. I don't feel any different. And not many people want to Robattle, so I just needed something to keep me occupied." replied the NON-type.
"Everyone does need something to keep them busy. But you have improved." explained Merrick. "Right Link? Wolfbane?" The EHT and the WLF nodded in agreement.
"Er.....guess you guys are right. I'm better than before I guess.....but only because you guys say so." informed N-Blade.
"You don't like praise much, do you?" implored Wolfbane.
"Not really. Don't mind if it is for winning a Robattle, but for something that isn't a Robattle....I kind of do." answered N-Blade.
"Well, nothing wrong with a little praise, my friend." said Link.
"I know, I know......let's just forget about this.....I want a Robattle with someone.....anyone....." mumbled N-Blade.
"Well, if we go to the HopMart, you can probably get the match you want." suddenly said Matt stepping out into the backyard. "The Screws might challenge you if you don't use your powers. Maybe Koji again, or Rintaro, maybe Ikki, perhaps all three of them. Or all six of them. Who knows?"
"Cool! Let's go!" cheered N-Blade.
"Blade, chill out. We're going to have to wait for Alexis. She's taking a shower. Oh, and her friend Amanda is coming over to Japan in about two days."
"Amanda? You mean her good friend Amanda? Who is older than her?" asked N-Blade.
"The one in the same."
"Well, it will be good for her to see her friend again." said Link.
"That's true, Alexis hasn't seen Amanda since when Dad went to Arizona on a business meeting, and the two of us were dropped off at Amanda's house. Hehe, good times, good times." grinned Matt.
"Well, I'm not patrolling until around 5, so I'll go with you guys. Who knows? Maybe something interesting will happen." said Merrick.
"Maybe yes, maybe no. No one knows the future....well no one I know at least." shrugged Matt. Merrick just shook his head with a grin.
It was 1 in the afternoon, and the Medabot crew were hanging out in there favorite store, the 24 HopMart. Just that a new face was with them, a girl wearing a pink shirt, and white skirt, red hair with pig tails, and blue eyes. Her name was Karin, and was Dr. Aki's niece. At the moment, she was filling the gang in why she wasn't there after summer started. It seemed her grandmother was sick, and she went to be with her.
"Is your grandmother going to be alright?" asked Henry as he cleaned the counter.
"Yes, she has gotten much better now. Thank you for asking Henry." answered Karin.
"Hey no problem. It's good that your grandmother will be fine now." replied the clerk, scratching the back of his head slightly. Henry was about to say something when Alexis, Matt, their Medabots, and Merrick walked into the store.
"Hey guys! What's up?" greeted the group of six.
"Nothing much." was the general reply.
"Karin is back from being with her grandmother." added Ikki.
"Karin? The girl you like?" asked Matt not noticing the red head.
"What?! What are you talking about?" demanded Ikki, his cheeks flushed.
"Hmm.....something is up......mind telling what?" inquired Matt.
"How would you like meeting Karin?" asked Koji. He didn't wait for an answer. "There she is." Stepping aside and gesturing to the red head.
"Um......hi?" greeted Matt with tons of sweatdrops on the back of his head. Karin didn't seem to notice the comments about her as she was looking at the newcomers Medabots. Wolfbane especially, she went next to the Wolf-type and petted him on the head. Wolfbane was enjoying the attention.
"You have a very nice Medabot. Your name is Matt, correct? That must make you Alexis. The man behind you Merrick. That Link, Ninja-Blade, and this little cutie, Wolfbane." grinned Karin petting Wolfbane again.
"Hehe, that's right. Nice to meet ya." greeted Matt without the sweatdrops.
"Mm-hmm, that's Link alright. And I'm his Medafighter, Alexis. Guess the gang was filling you in on us?"
"What you think, Alexis? If she knows our names, of course the gang told her." said Merrick.
"Or she could be psychic." added N-Blade, getting tons of sweatdrops in response.
"Yeah......right......keep thinking that N-Blade." said Link, shaking his head.
"So, what we going to do today guys?" asked Spike.
"Don't know. I want a Robattle!" laughed N-Blade. The other Medabots backed up slightly from N-Blade, except for Metabee, Link, and Wolfbane.
"If you want a Robattle, you could always enter the City Wide Robattling tournament Henry told me about earlier." stated Warren.
"What? What tournament? I didn't see any posters." replied Ikki and Matt at the same time. They both looked at each other, then the clerk in unison.
"Well the city is going to host a city wide tournament. Not like last year's though, this one is different. Heard it's going to be a doubles tournament. Meaning you guys will be battling 2-on-2. Also heard rules are...........interesting this year." said Henry.
"We one last year, we're going to win again! Right Metabee?" asked Ikki.
"You know it!" chuckled Metabee.
"Think again, Hot Head. I'm going to take you down." smirked N-Blade crossing his arms slightly.
"What?! No one calls Metabee a 'Hot Head'! You and me, right now!" challenged the KBT.
"Knew you would respond this way, if I pushed you. Time to show me what you got!" declared N-Blade.
"You know I will!" yelled Metabee, steam shooting out of his horns.
"You two know the rules. Outside to Robattle, not in here." informed Henry.
"We know, we know." mumbled the two Medabots, as they headed outside. Only to get plowed over by some blur of a figure. The two Medabots were twitching on the floor, and the gang rushed to help them, and never noticed someone jump on Merrick's back.
"What the?! Get off!" yelled Merrick trying to pull whoever was on his back.
"Eh? What's up, Merrick?" asked Sloan.
"Someone's on my back, duh!" answered Merrick, spinning to try and get whoever on his back off. "OFF!!" Doing a forward handstand flip and corkscrew spin out the door, whoever was on Merrick's back was still hanging on.
"Ok, I'll bargain with you. You get off now, and I won't fry you!" His reply to that was a burst full of giggles. "Oro?" Turning his head back, he saw it was a little girl hanging onto him.
"Mind getting off?" asked the Ninja. The girl shook her head. "Didn't think so........."
Sighing to himself, he crouched down, and pulled the girls hands from around his neck, and turned to look at the girl. She seemed about 6 or 7 years old and around 2'3. The girl had on a pink skirt, and a white tank top with pink horizontal stripes. She also wore pink hiking boots, oddly enough. She had pink hair, that bobbed down past her ears, and pink eyes. Her skin was a pale white, like a ray of moonlight.
"What's your name, squirt?" asked Merrick. Something about the girl, felt oddly familiar.
"Hey, Merrick! You ok?" asked Sam.
"Yeah, just fine. Some little girl was on my back." replied the Ninja.
"What girl?" questioned Erika.
"The girl right here, duh..." answered Merrick gesturing right next to him.
"Dude......there is no girl......" stated Rintaro.
"Eh? What are you talking about? She's right....there...." When Merrick turned his head, the girl was gone. "I'm not crazy! There was a girl here, I swear it!"
"Sure there was............." snorted Koji.
"THERE WAS! I'M TELLING YOU THERE WAS!"
"No need to yell.......but we didn't see this person on your back that you claimed, Merrick....." said Sloan slowly.
"But.....but......there was a girl on my back! Some little 6 year old! I'm not crazy!"
"I've think you finally gone into the deep end, Merrick." said Peppercat sadly shaking her head.
"Sure he wasn't already there? I mean......N-Blade is crazy.........that must make Merrick crazy as well." reasoned Krosserdog.
"You do have a point Krosserdog." added Totalizer.
"I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!" bellowed Merrick knocking everyone except Karin off their feet. Karin walked to Merrick and pat his shoulder lightly.
"Of course you aren't." agreed the girl in a soft voice.
"Thank you, someone that believes me." Karin just smiled in reply.
"Let's sort that out later. Come on Hot Head, you owe me a Robattle."
"I'll give ya your Robattle. Let's get it on, already!"
"THEN IT'S AGREED!" shouted the voice of Mr. Referee's voice from everywhere. As the gang tried to find out where Mr. Referee was, he came crashing down on a hang glider. He got up and dusted himself off.
"I officially declare this a submission Robattle, between Matt's N-Blade and Ikki's Metabee. The rules are simple. The first Medabot to stop the other from functioning wins. The loser must submit one Medapart to the winner for keeps. I, Mr. Referee, shall act as referee so no one gets hurt!"
"Medafighters ready?" asked Mr. Referee as Matt and Ikki got into place.
"Yes!" answered the two boys.
"MEDABOTS ROBATTLE!!!!!" boomed Mr. Referee slicing the air with his hand.
Before N-Blade could even take a step towards Metabee. Before Metabee could even raise his repeaters at N-Blade. Chains suddenly wrapped around the two Medabots, and lifted them in the air. Ikki and Matt looked at the source of the chains, they found out it was a femme Medabot, and an Angel-type. No, make that a Fallen Angel-type.
"What is the meaning of this?!" demanded the ref. "You can't interfere in an official Robattle!"
"I think they would rather fight a more seasoned Medafighter, than each other." replied a woman's voice.
"We have no beef with you! Let go of our Medabots!" demanded Matt.
"Yeah!" yelled Ikki.
"You heard the two. Let them down, Mitsukai." ordered the woman, he eyes flashing slightly. The Fallen Angel-type hurled the two Medabots onto the floor at their Medafighters' feet. The woman just had some sort of grin on her face.
"N-Blade, lets show this woman what we got!"
"Metabee, lets help them out."
The two Medabots got back to there feet, and nodded their heads. They went into an offensive stance waiting for the woman and her Medabot to make the first move.
"This Robattle will show the both of you, a thing or two." informed the woman. "Let's take them out, Mitsukai."
The black femme Medabot, nodded and stood before her Medafighter. Her optics burning holes into the two males' heads. From what Merrick saw from how both sides were looking at each other, this was possibly going to be a Robattle to remember.
To Be Continued......
And here we have it, the first chapter of the sequel. Who is this woman? Who will win this Robattle? Will it be the combined strength of Metabee and N-Blade, or the Fallen Angel, Mitsukai? Find out in the next chapter of Flight with Darkness!
