Teaching spike to robattle, the long awaited sequel to chapter 10
Finally I get back on track with the "plot", or finally spike is taught ti-kwan-leep by a true master.
Notice that both titles have finally in them.
Well like the titles say, I'm finally getting to a point that may resemble 'back on track' if you squint. Well here comes 'back on track' perhaps, remember I don't fully plan this stuff out.
-Begin-
"MARTIAL ARTS MASTER! What the hell kind of martial art form does he teach!?!"
Tom looked at his sister. "Stop cursing, Boot to the Head! He taught me ti Kwan leep, the ultimate martial art form with the pinnacle technique of boot to the head."
Spike perked up. "OOH ti-kwan-leep! When were you going to teach me that?"
Hoboman Steve looked at Tom. "You're going to teach that loser?"
Tom looked back, smiled and gave him a big thumbs up. "No you are:)"(Lol smiley face!)
"I refuse."
"Aw come on, I gave you a boot to the head, you know we are martial arts equals, and besides spike already has his own ti-kwan-leep technique."
"Ti-kwan-leep technique, where!"
"Show 'em spike!"
Spike pulled a gun out of the twilight zone. "Ti-kwan-leep spike technique, GUNSHOT TO THE HEAD!" Spike shot a Tom, who ducked under it.
"See, not a bad technique, eh. And I know it's original." Tom smiled as he was still bent over.
"You're right it is original." Hoboman Steve said. "And although I know every official ti-kwan-leep technique there is not one that uses a gun."
"What is that illegal?" Spike asked.
"No, Ti-kwan-leep masters worldwide were too stupid to think of using guns in their techniques. Although Tom and I both came close. I use swords; Tom uses a space laser for one attack." Hoboman Steve said as he looked at the gun spike had. "Spike hit me with that technique."
"Whoa! Did you just say you want me to shoot you!?!"
"Yes."
"Oh, okay. Gunshot to the head!" Again spike shot at hoboman Steve. He dodged the technique. And unlike Tom, who was still bent over, he got back up.
"That was amazing. You have great ti-kwan-leep potential." Hoboman Steve said as he walked over to spike and patted him on the back. "You are my new apprentice spike."
"That's all nice but while you three are training, what do we do?" Ikki inquired.
Tom finally stood up, his back cracked. "Ow. You guys are going to New York City with my mother sherry and white knight."
"Why them." Ikki asked.
"So the city remains in once piece." Tom replied.
"Ah." Was all Ikki had to say in return.
-In New York city- (dun-dun-duh)
The gang took the train to the city. Of course the gang consisted of (author looks back at older chapters now having no memory of who the gang was) Erika, Sam, Sloan, Marth, (who was acting as a third member while spike practiced ti-kwan-leep), Ikki, Victor, and rintaro. And of course all of their Medabots. Koji wasn't there because he was busy fuming over killing spike, Karin was with him. Sherry and Mrs. Valentine, were the official 'parental guardians' of the group. But victor was going to fulfill that role too.
So what did they do in the city first? Well first they attracted a lot of attention from the crowd. The kid who is believed by the public to be robattle world champion and the number 1 ranked world medafighter together at the same time, it was like a fan-girl yaoi festival. (Fan girls scare me!)(And yes I know I probably pissed off a bunch of them right there, but what do I care, they do scare me!) There was a massive crowd. Tom had planned for this which was why he had brought sherry along. She walked over to the fan girls and snapped them like twigs, literally. Tom knew that she had anger problems, at least since that flight, Thus tom had sent her with orders to fend off fan girls with the intent for her to snap them in half. Again literally.
But anyway what would they do in the city after that? They would go into the streets because no matter how big a star you are unless you're with half a dozen others in the streets of New York City you'll only attract minor attention. And from there, well they went to see some plays. A start with phantom of the opera. Um well…
During the scene in which the phantom (anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about will understand with my in parentheses subtitles, this guy is, villain) encounters Christine, (the damsel) in the graveyard and shoots fire at her the entire gang, minus victor and Marth felt obligated to save her. And before that they had been taunting the phantom.
Next, lunch at the hard rock café where guitars were broken, but only as a publicity stunt for victor and Ikki. And actually victor was the only one of the group able to break a guitar on his own. The entire gang helped Ikki break his after it went 'thump' gently against the ground. Lunch was a tad hectic but more survivable than the play. Sherry was able to go slightly away from the mental point of shattering all the kids spines and skulls, to just their arms. Mrs. Valentine was able to go from arms to capillaries and not skin. Victor and Marth, the only ones semi-responsible in the group (Medabots included) sat and ate with them. Generally keeping the conversation mild and light.
After lunch? Another show, the music man, during which the gang broke out into Japanese song in large. There was a general muffler placed over them to shut them up. It was named sherry, who was back in the spines and skulls stage.
When the finally got back to the home spike was busy trying to beat up Steve, tom, cyandog, metablue, gorgon, jetfire, and dozens of other Medabots and people. Steve and cyandog were the only ones fighting back ever but spike was rarely getting vaguely close to anyone.
The second day in the city was a trip to see the sights, this was a little more manageable, sherry kept the gang from over acting by threatening to throw them off the buildings. The statue of liberty got everyone to calm down somewhat at least, they all were excited to get a special pass to go onto the torch. The return had spike trying just to hit tom and Hoboman Steve. He at the same level of failure that he was at the day before, but Tom and Steve now were trying to doge him, the other day they had been walking around doing whatever. Sometimes Cyandog got in on the random dodging, and a hair of the attacking.
The third day was more sights, the toy's r us in New York City. Then central park the rest of the day. Where the gang went to a robattle stage and had more than a few robattles.
Spike was now having to dodge Steve and tom in his training sessions, and Cyandog was now randomly, but evenly, thrown into the sessions too.
The fourth and fifth days were more robattles in central park, with a tournament on day five with an exhibition match on the parts of Ikki and Victor.
Day 6 was a trip to the natural history museum, where the gang only broke replicas.
Spike was now at the point where he could land one hit on Tom and Steve. If he was totally concentrating on just that.
Day 7 was a visit to Rockefeller center and a few other more misc. type things.
Spike was capable of hitting tom and Steve twice.
And that my reader is how spike reached the title of 'ti-kwan-leep master' in 1 week.
Day 8 was a return to Japan, and an issuing of a challenge, not by way of projectiles this time tho'.
Then came the battle…
Koji arrived at the appointed place, the park, at the appropriate time, where he saw the gang assembled by some sort of podium. Then Hoboman Steve got started.
"Koji Karakuchi (not sure of spelling, but not gonna check it now) you have challenged Spike, my apprentice in ti-kwan-leep to a robattle, well now prepare to face his almighty ti-kwan-leep mastery wrath because we have taught him the almighty martial art form of ti-kwan-leep!"
"And I gave him a new medabot that PWNS!" Tom added on.
"Yes, so now face our champion with his new medabot." Steve said as he motioned towards the platform. Then he began to play some processional on the kazoo as spike walked out, he was wearing a large rokusho-esque cloak. Tom sighed.
"Spike you're new medabot." Then out came Warrior on a conveyor belt (see ch. 2 for stats and appearance). Spike inserted the medal and Warrior got around and moved in several very fancy patterns.
"Koji!" Spike shouted once this was all done. He pointed a finger at koji. "I challenge you to an official submission robattle."
"THEN IT'S AGREED!" A voice came from nowhere. Mr. Referee walked down spike's platform as if he were a model. "I declare this an official submission robattle. Medafighters ready! MEDABOTS ROBATTLE!!!"
Warrior stood stock still as spike moved away from him. Several minutes passed as Sumilidon stood tense and Warrior stood stock still. "Screw this, Sumilidon attack!" With a lunge faster than Sumilidon had done before he struck right at warrior.
"Warrior, evade up!" Warrior jumped up at the last moment. "Now bring your pike down on his head!" Quickly shifting the pike so it would go straight into the ground Warrior came crashing down on Sumilidon missing by a hair. "Attack with that lance!" Attacking with several thrusts at Sumilidon warrior went on the offensive and kept his foe at range. "Now you're knife strike!" Making a thrust that would entangle Sumilidon for a moment Warrior then used the knife on his right arm to attack Sumilidon landing the first hit of the robattle. It was little more than a scratch, but it worked. "Now we finish him, CHAINSAW HEADGEAR!" Rapidly breaking the deadlock he was in the head of warrior suddenly had chainsaw blades protruding from it; they activated and began rotating around his head.
"Sumilidon, shadow sword!" Sumilidon leapt up at the last second.
"Jump too Warrior!" Spike shouted. He did.
The two met in mid air, but Sumilidon made the successful landing, warrior's medal ejected.
"And now you can never challenge me to a robattle again." Koji said.
"Don't you want you're parts?" Mr. Referee asked as Koji walked away.
"No I got what I wanted out of that, to keep spike from doing any more of these stupid robattles."
"WHAT!" Spike and tom said at once. Spike ran to grovel, but tom restrained him.
"I have an idea, but it doesn't involve you as of yet. So you should just go plan or something." Spike paused then nodded and gathered up the gang.
"So guys what do you know about Sumilidon?" Was his first question, then he was off.
-That night-
Koji came to a dark foreboding alley in the middle of the night to meet a figure in a mysterious cloak. "You said I should come here, and bring Sumilidon. But who are you and why."
"I AM THOMAS!" Tom threw off his cloak and revealed himself, for a moment one of his eyes glowed red, but that moment passed quickly.
"Okay now that that's done what do you want?"
"I will do a practice robattle against you, right here, right now. If I win spike has one last robattle against you on your terms. If I loose you get that medabot you saw earlier today as well as one other powerful grappler I've got."
"That's a little unfair, you are the number three medafighter in the world, and how am I supposed to compete with you?"
"I give you a handicap." Tom reached behind him and to his right, his cloak had not gone far when he had thrown it off, it had landed on a thing. Throwing the cloak back on himself he revealed the thing was a cyandog medabot model. "Cyandog, with a knight type medal. I don't have one of my main medabot equipped with a monkey type, but white knight is a grappler correct?"
"Fine. I'll do it." And I'll end it in one shot. "GO! Sumilidon, shadow sword!"
"Cyandog, BOOT TO THE HEAD!" Sumilidon came down right on cyandogs foot. "Hit him with a bunch more!" Then random boot to the head's went flying at Koji. Finally after several minutes Sumilidons medal ejected. "I win. Give me a day to tell spike."
"One week from now, at the shrine. Two o'clock. If he's late then I won't re-schedule."
"Fine then. Spike gladly accepts."
-End-
Spike lost. BIG SURPRISE, I SO DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. Spike is robattling koji one last time, can he win, who knows? Find out in the next, TEACHING SPIKE TO ROBATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December fifth, international day of the ninja, celebrate it.
