Gallahaste and Metabee silently crossed the schoolyard.The moon was at it's highest point of the night and the only sound was the sound of crickets chirping.They went behind the school and arrived near the little shack where they keep the school's bunny.There was a light shining inside.
"So this is your secret lair Lord Metabee?"Asked Gallahaste as they walked toward the door.
"Yeah...everybody should be there."Answered Metabee.
They entered and found Brass,Peppercat,Cyandog and Totalizer sat around a crate taking place of a table.Brass was already distributing cards and there was two piles forming for the two new arrivant.
"Cyandog,Totalizer,this is Gallahaste,Gallahaste, Cyandog and Totalizer."Said Metabee making the needed introduction.
"Greetings.So you all meet here everyweek to play...poker?"Inquired the Knight,sitting on the ground like Metabee and the other.
"Yes...it's one of the only time we get to be among ourself.The Principal's Medabot,Samurai,gave us the key to this place and he comes too from time to time,but his Medafighter is a lonely man so it'S not easy to get away."Explained Brass.
"Good idea...But one might tought you would invite Sumilodon and Neutranurse."Added Gallahaste,taking his hand."So what do you use to bet?"
"Sumilodon and Neutranurse live on the other side of town,it wouldn't be easy for them to come here.We use those plastic chip to bet,since we don't have a need for money."Answered Totalizer,pulling up a rack of poker chip and giving an equal amount to everybody.
"Mainly we don't want our Medafighter to know about these meetings.Gimme two cards.I start with 20."Said Peppercat.
"I understand...Not that Lady Gwen wouldn't understand but it is appealing to have a certain privacy.Three cards.I see your 20 and raise you by 5."Replied Gallahaste.
"I don't see what you guys worry about.It's not like I tell everything to Ikki...sometime I don't get you guys with your 'mister', 'miss' and 'sir' and stuff.I just call Ikki, Ikki.I keep those,I see your 25 and I raise you by 10."Continued Metabee.
"That's how we were programmed...I just can't imagine calling my Medafighter Spyke...it just feel odd.I owe him my existance after all.Give me 1 card.I see the 35,I add in 5."Explained Cyandog.
"Personally,I just think it would be rude to call Lady Gwen by her first name.It is more of a personnal choice than an attitude programmed into me."Pointed Gallahaste.
"That's same for me,just a choice."Agreed Metabee.
"How can you guys fight your programming so easily?Give me four cards...Bah...I don't have anything...you Brass?"Continued Totalizer.
"Hmm...I'll take 2 cards...hm...I see the 40 and raise you 10.Say Peppercat...got anything you can tell us about Basilicus?"Asked Brass.
"I only worked for him for a big 18 hours...more or less.I just know that nut job was after Rare Medals.I see the 50 and raise you 20."Answered Peppercat.
"I can't risk it...That evil Medabot is off with his army of darkness plotting another attempt at whatever they were planning.I cannot wait until I can defeat that foul Medabeast Landrager once and for all."Heorically declared Gallahaste.
"Relax Gallah.Once this freak come out of hiding we're all gonna be there to kick his butt!"Added Peppercat,raising her fist in the air.
"YEAH!"All the other Medabots cheered.
"This is a very entertaining night...I am proud to be your friends."Said Gallahaste,his voice sounding as if he was smiling.
"You talk weird but we're glad to have you along.Anyway,I see your 70 and raise it by 10 more."Replied Metabee,continuing the game.

"What do you think Dr.Aki want to tell us?"Asked Ikki as he and Koji were walking toward their mentor's house along with their Medabots.
"How should I know?I only get my mind reader installed next week.Just be patient!"Replied the rich kid,obviously aiming to annoy his rival.
"I bet the Doc just discovered he had a son...or that his twin brother is alive even tough everybody thougth he was dead in a plane crash...or both!Like in "The Pain of Love" last week!"Proposed Metabee.
"YOU watch THAT?"Asked Sumilodon,sweatdropping.
"Still not over your soap opera addiction?"Added Ikki.
"NO!I..I don't!I was just...bored!Yeah bored and I stumble on it when channel surfin'!!!Soap operas are for wussies!"Replied Metabee,flailing his arm around as he denied his addiction.
"Nevermind we're there."Pointed out Koji.
The kids said hello to the cops that had been put to guard the Doc's house just in case since last week's event and they rang the bell.Karen was the one to open the door.
"Hi Koji,Hi Ikki."She smiled,leatting the two boys and their Medabots inside.
"Ka...Karen what are you doing here?"Asked Ikki,on the edge of melting.
"Uncle told me it was getting dirty around here and I was getting bored so I decided to come clean up a little."She answered still smiling.
"Hello Metabee,Hi Sumilodon."Said Neutranurse as she passed through the corridor."Dr.Aki is in his office and waiting for you."She added,looking at the boys.
"Thank you Neutranurse...Do you know why your uncle called us here Karen?"Said Ikki.
"No...he wanted to tell me too...com'on let's go see him."Answered Karen.
The little group went over the Doc's office were the good Doctor was reading a book in a chair.When he noticed the kids he put his book down and stood up.
"Ikki...Koji.I was waiting for you."He said.
"While reading "The Rose Bloom: A Love Story" ?"Asked Metabee reading the book's title.
"What I do in my free time is none of your buisness!Anyway...I called you here because I was invited to a Medabot Convention in a week and I tought it would be a good vacation for everybody and I'd like to thank all of you who helped me when I was kidnapped so I'm gonna invite you all to come with me and I'll even pay for transport and hotel!Not just you three but your friends Erika and Gwen as well!What do you think?"He explained.
"Thank you Doctor!That sound cool."Said Koji.
"Wow!Thanks!That's so cool!"Cheered Ikki.
"Thank you Uncle Aki."Added Karen.
"I can't believe it...that cheap cake is gonna pay for it all."Said Metabee to himself.
"So where is this convention? Kyoto? Osaka? Kobe? Or maybe Okinawa?"Asked Ikki.
"Actually it's further than that."Chuckle the Doctor.
"So tell us,where?"Insisted Koji.
"In Canada."finnally answer Dr.Aki.
