Maybe I should try to help…
If two of my closest friends start acting strange should I worry? Well they're acting stranger than usual anyway. They've been acting jumpy and cautious – I wonder if something strange has happened that keeps them on their toes.
'Be careful Arika' Now who was the one who said that to me, Ikki or Medabee?
We were in the Hop Mart that day; Karen and Koji weren't there because of some rich kid fundraiser thing something about fast food restaurants, Rintaro was in Hollywood for some reason I think he was auditioning for shows.
I was showing Henry my latest news story on the Screws Gang – Nothing that got any dirt on them unfortunately but it was still a great article.
Then Ikki and Medabee ran in panting they looked so exhausted and worn out I almost didn't recognize them.
"What happened to you?" I asked them.
"Nothing – Just… Be Careful Arika…" I think Ikki said that.
"Why?" Henry asked curiously.
"No reason just – be careful… You too Henry…" Ikki continued in his exhausted voice.
"You have to tell us what happened." I demanded.
"Ms. Arika is right – if you won't we can't help you." Brass said.
"We can't- Sorry Brass." Medabee said sadly he then cautiously peaked out the door then left with Ikki.
I looked up at the ceiling in thought. "Ms. Arika are you thinking about Medabee and Ikki too?"
I looked over at Brass. "Yea, I'm thinking of them too."
Brass nodded. "I wish they would just tell us what's wrong."
They've gotten better at this evil thing…
"We are in trouble" I thought to myself. There was a loud ringing sound; I nearly fell off the couch.
"It's just the phone Ikki-dear." My mom comforted then answered the phone.
"Man I wish we would stop being so jumpy." Medabee sighed.
"They said they were after us and everything and everyone we hold dear!" I took the note out of my pocket.
"They aren't kidding around either! They tried to blow up the Hop Mart with Brass, Arika and Henry inside of it!" Medabee said.
"Ikki, the phone is for you!" Mrs. Tenrio called.
"'Kay mom!" I ran to the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Ikki!" Arika's loud voice came through the phone.
I was a little relieved to hear it was her.
"Oh, hey Arika."
"Ikki, you need to tell us why you're acting so jumpy! If you don't we can't help you!"
"Arika, you don't understand… "
"I will if you tell me what's happening."
I looked down on the note which read.
Dear Ikki and Medabee,
You'll be happy to know that we're after you and everyone and everything you hold dear. Don't tell your friends, or they will lose their homes and loved ones before their tragic death. We'll know if you tell we have you under strict watch. It's absolutely personal and we need both of you to take over the world.
Have a nice day – Because you won't have any more of those from here on out
With hate,
Ms. Starfish of the new and improved Rubber-Robo Gang – The Robotic Sea Mob.
"Ikki!" Arika yelled.
"Are you still there?" She yelled.
"Huh, what? Sorry I'll call you back later." I hung up the phone.
" I could hear her frustrated screams form here…" Medabee muttered.
" Why did they have to become more Evil?" Ikki asked out loud.
"They got a new leader – Ms. Starfish. That lady is hard core." Medabee suggested.
A special few words called – I know…
I don't care if I'm not supposed to know. I'm going to tell Ikki and Medabee those few powerful words.
"Are we ready Neutranurse?" I asked as our limo pulled in. "I hope so."
I picked up my school bag; earlier I had taken out my school stuff and replaced them with weapons and spy gear.
I got out of the limo and Neutranurse followed me. I rang his door bell. "Hello Karen." Ikki answered. I took a deep breath.
"Ikki, I know; And I'm there for you." Ikki just stared.
"What?" Ikki fell back in surprise.
"Don't worry Ikki, Nothing can hurt us. Especially not the new Rubber-Robo gang. I'm the only one who knows but we can tell them together. Ikki's jaw dropped.
"Ikki! Yo, who's at the door?" Medabee asked. "Medabee, we know about the Robotic Sea Mob. We'll help, we won't be hurt. Right now as we speak all your friends are being safely protected. "Neutranurse explained. Well said! I nodded.
"Umm… But." They said together. "Come on let's go explain. Koji already knows so we don't have to worry about that." I ran at a slow pace to our limousine, I nodded at him to come join me.
"Karen!" Ikki shouted. "Tell your mom to come to. I'll send people to pick up your things. From now on you're under safety lock." I told him in a kind voice.
"Thank you Karen, but it isn't safe for us or anyone else." I looked at him kindly with those warm eyes he could never resist.
"Don't worry Ikki; we have the police and the select corp on the case as well." Ikki still looked skeptical but called his mom out and explained. Then we went.
A few long moments later after explaining everything we went to the place we were all supposed to meet up. Dull Light Park.
To be continued,
Why the new Rubber Robo Gang is called The Robotic Sea mob? Who is considered dear to Ikki and Medabee? Is this considered a kids show anymore? I hope not.
