Title: Busted!
Rating: PG
Timeframe: Uh. . . I haven't figured that out yet. Sometime just before the WRC?
Synopsis: Phantom Renegade's identity is revealed after 'liberating' a rare medal from the Rubber Robo gang. How will he deal with having to share a prison cell with everyone's favorite lackeys? How will Ikki, Koji and the gang deal with visiting him in prison? How will Dr. Aki get him off?
Hopefully, my inspiration won't quit on me, and you'll be able to find out!
I know I've usually done Weiss Kreuz fics up till now, but lately, I've developed a thing for Medabots, and I decided to try my hand. R&R please!
On with the fic! *~~*~~*~~*
Damn those Rubber Robos. It was all THEIR fault he was in this mess. They had managed to get a hold of Metabee's medal (again), and so, Hikaru Agata took it upon himself to retrieve it, just as soon as his shift at the 24 Hopmart was over. It was times like this, that he questioned his decision to let Ikki KEEP Medabee's medal. If all the robos were like Seaslug and Shrimplips and company, he really had to question Ikki's intelligence, to let them keep taking his medal like they did.
Now, Hikaru knew about this development, despite being at work, because of his contacts. Karin was with Ikki, and she had called Dr. Aki to tell him where she'd be. Namely, helping Ikki save Metabee. Dr. Aki then called the Hopmart, asking for Henry, saying he wanted to place an order. That's when he told Henry about it.
"For crying out loud!" Henry protested when he heard the news. "Can't he keep hold of that thing for longer than a week?"
"Maybe not, but you're still going to have to retrieve it." Dr. Aki answered seriously.
"I know, I know." Henry sighed. The conversation ended soon after. The Hopmart was NOT the place for such discussions. He checked the clock. Only another half an hour.
*~~*~~*~~*
After what seemed to be the LONGEST half-hour in HISTORY, Hikaru dashed back home, to get his things, so that he might effect the aforementioned rescue. This, of course, meant that he was out of breath from running by the time he got home.
"Where's the fire?" Arcbeetle asked, as Hikaru downed a glass of water, in an attempt to catch his breath.
"No fire. Just an emergency involving Ikki Tenryou and the Rubber Robos." Hikaru put the empty glass on the counter, and proceeded to his room, to get changed.
"What?" Asked the medabot in disbelief.
"Yeah. They've got the Rare Medal." Hikaru emerged from his room, dressed in his Phantom Renegade basics: Black pants, black shoes, black shirt. His medawatch was strapped to his wrist. High up his wrist. The rest of the costume was in a small black bag, including the top hat. The hat had to be one of his best finds, next to the matching gold-and-white facemasks, that is. It was at a theatre supply store, and it collapsed, and re-formed with a flick of the brim. Handy little thing. But this wasn't the time to marvel over costume design. He needed to relieve the Rubber Robos of the weight of one rare beetle medal.
Hikaru headed for the door again, this time with Arcbeetle following. Arcbeetle always insisted on tagging along whenever the Phantom had to bust into the Rubber Robos. "Just in case", he insisted. It was obvious to Hikaru that Arcbeetle did it to watch his back, and although he never called that fact in, he appreciated it. Arcbeetle was the only one who knew that still cared enough about him to worry about his safety.
The Rubber Robos' current hideout was an ominous-looking warehouse that just screamed "Evil Villain's base HERE!" as far as Hikaru was concerned. Once he'd reached it, he staked himself a hidden spot not far from an entrance to put the finishing touches to his costume. Gloves. Mask. Hat. Cape. Smoke bombs. Steel Medals with the letter 'R' branded on them. (In that order) He stretched, and cleared his throat.
"Give 'em hell." Wished Arcbeetle, in the positive sense of the phrase. "I'm here if you need me." Ironic. The Rubber Robos would consider what the Phantom did to be "raising hell"... but Hikaru knew what Arcbeetle meant, so he smiled (although all the medabot could see was the white mask), and gave him a thumbs-up before he snuck into the entrance he had staked out.
Hell indeed. Hikaru had lived through hell. A masked thief certainly wasn't it.
*~~*~~*~~*
Whee! I finished the chapter! Considering my current creativity levels, that's an accomplishment.
I suppose a note about my Henry-nomenclature is in order. His thoughts, and most actions, are under the name of Hikaru, which is his TRUE identity, when it all boils down to it.
When he says or does something while acting as one of his various aliases, the alias' name is used. The alias' name is also used when one of the other characters refer to him, such as Dr. Aki calling the Hopmart and asking for Henry.
So, how's my characterization so far? Where in the timeline should I set this? Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
