Me: Wee another chapter is up! ^_^
Link: *rolls his eyes...-er....optics* Most authors don't get excited when they post a chapter ya know. e.e;
Me: *sweatdrops* So? I do! Since I like writing this fic! ^_^;;
N-Blade: Good now keep the chapters coming! XD
Link/Me: *sweadrops* o.o;;
Dragonite: Onto the disclaimer! *runs away before getting hit by a giant rock thrown by the author*
Me: You better run!
Disclaimer: I don't own Medabots and I never will. Characters I'm borrowing belong to their respected owners. However, I do own the upgraded Krosserdog, so don't steal!
Alexis: *whistles* I did a better job on Krosserdog than I thought! ^_^
N-Blade: You know you nearly caused me to lose that battle where I fought Krosserdog, Arcbeetle, and Dragonite, since you upgraded Krosserdog so much..... ¬¬;;
Alexis: Hehehe! ^_^;;;;
Isis: Onto the reviews! *catches the rock aimed for her*
Me: *snaps* .o;
Phantom Fan: Um....I got the name Freya off of HFH's profile. Freya is what the F stands for in her username. Didn't notice that either, but then again I'm not a giant Gundam fan. I find it cool, but I'm not a giant fan of it, why? No clue. Hehe, yeah I guess I did turn Krosserdog into a tank, but that's what I do sometimes. I turn the weak into the strong, and the strong into the weak.
Mad-Man: Mad-Maler, thou art a fool! Your wraiths may not be affected by ones tainted by darkness, but I am not! The darkness you are thinking is evil and darkness doesn't have to be evil! Lowemon(methinks that's how ya spell his name) is the best example! He was evil as Duskmon, but now good as Lowemon! Your wraiths are doomed! I call upon the powers of the lunar serpent! Serpent of Night heed my call! Lend me your strength! Lunar Dragon Blast! *a picture of the moon appears in front of him, and a massive white beam in the shape of a dragon erupts from the picture and flies at the wraiths. He watches one of his greatest attacks flies at the 7 wraiths* Thou are next, Mad-Maler..... *he glares at the massive being in front of him*
HFH: Hehe, thanks for calling me chapter excellent! ^_^ Now come on, SMX wouldn't challenge a baby unless he was really wanted to Robattle. X.x; Thanks for the review!
Warren: *snickers* Challenging a baby!
Arcbeetle: At least SMX wouldn't lose to one like you!
Warren: *falls over* X.x; Well maybe if HFH wrote the fic, but Matt is writing it!
Me: Hmm.....maybe I should write that you lose to a baby! XD
Warren/Dragonite: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! XO
Freya: Onto the chapter! ^_^
Chapter 10: A Past Unfolded
N-Blade was staring at Arcbeetle's Kabuto medal and glared at it. His optics were still blue and narrowed to slits. He was staring at the medal with a hateful look.
He survived! I thought I destroyed him all those years ago! How did he survive? If he's still around, she must be around as well. thought N-Blade.
SMX was hunched over and the air of defeat hanging over him. He himself wondered how Arcbeetle pulled off Delta-Strike, and where it came from. He knew then something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it. He knew rare medals were dangerous, but never have he seen such a power from one.
Whatever let Arcbeetle pull off that move, must have been that weird voice. I now wonder why I ever listened to it. It made me feel uneasy, but I still listened to it. I regret that choice I made now, for it cost me an even more improved Arcbeetle! thought SMX.
"Hey X, why did you fight all those Medabots earlier?" asked Matt.
"Two reasons. The first was to prove I was still a good Medafighter, and the second was because of some weird voice......" trailed off SMX.
"A weird voice?" sharply asked N-Blade turning his head to SMX.
"Yeah...after watching your battle and loss to the Robos, and then getting saved by Freya. I heard some weird voice telling me to Robattle." calmly said SMX.
"It must be him then......" said N-Blade talking to himself.
"Who are you talking about?" asked a still drained Freya.
"Can she be alive as well as he?" wondered N-Blade ignoring Freya's question.
"Who are you talking about Ninja-Blade?!" demanded Freya in the loudest voice she could muster in her condition.
"Huh? Did you say something?" asked N-Blade. Everyone sweatdropped.
"She asked, who you were talking about." said Isis.
"Eh? What are you talking about? I never said anything!" countered N-Blade(his optics were now yellow).
"Yes you were! You were muttering about some guy and girl! Now who were you talking about?" demanded Freya. N-Blade's optics changed blue again(no one seems to notice the change).
"I was talking about two people from my past life. You've always wondered how I had my powers and that is because I was human in my past. When I was human, I was one of the greatest users in shadow magic, flame magic, and air based spells. I could always do other things, but those three areas were my greatest." said N-Blade.
"O....k.....that answered some stuff, but you didn't answer my question fully. Who were the people you were talking about?" asked Freya again.
"Their real names I shall not reveal at the moment. But in the past they were also known as Ruby and Cloud." answered N-Blade.
"Ruby and Cloud? What kind of corny names are those?" laughed Metabee. N-Blade glared at him and he was quieted immediately.
"Odd their names may be, but deadly they are. Ruby was the greatest wielder of flame magic and wind magic. While Cloud was a great illusionist and his light based attacks couldn't be beat." countered N-Blade his tone harsher than the others ever heard, even Matt.
"Wow....but at least we have you on our side and three rare medal wielders on our side. And we got Freya too!" said Alexis.
"That won't be enough. I've had more experience with my powers than Freya has. She gets drained with each use of her powers, while I remain refreshed. And you've seen Delta-Strike, two Medaforces couldn't stop it. And just adding Krosserdog's Particle Cannon was only enough to equal its power. You saw how Delta-Strike started taking over the attacks, only when Freya used Hydro-Striker were they able to turn the tide." retorted N-Blade.
"Oh....." replied a down trodden Alexis.
"You didn't have to be so mean, N-Blade...." said Ikki.
"Well you, yourself saw that attack nearly beat them! My Shadow Destroyer alone could beat over 40 Medaforces! My powers grow everyday, Ikki! I have more experience with these types of occurrences than you, any of you. And this is my fight, and my fight alone." said N-Blade filled with rage.
"Calm down, N-Blade! You don't have to get so worked up about this!" said Matt trying to calm down his Medabot.
"Wrong Matt. I have to get worked up over this. My name was Merrick before Ruby turned me into a medal! Now I am known as Ninja-Blade, but that is besides the point. I need to stop them here and now. Cloud was the reason I got turned into a medal as well. He distracted me while Ruby was able to turn me into a medal. He alone was one of my greatest opponents. But his powers pale in comparison to Ruby's.
"In my first encounter with Ruby, I was nearly killed. If it wasn't for my friends I would have been dead. In my second encounter with her, I was nearly her equal, but she still had the upper-hand. I was able to drive her off though. In my third, and final encounter with her I was turned into a medal, thanks to Cloud fighting me beforehand. My fight with him left me drained and easy pickings for Ruby.........." said N-Blade.
"Wow......I didn't know. I'm so sorry......" started Matt, before N-Blade cut him off.
"Don't be sorry. I'm fine with my life as it is now. And I was happy with it, until I saw a shadow erupt from Arcbeetle's medal. It was then I knew Cloud was still around." replied N-Blade a lot calmer than before.
"What? You saw a shadow come out of Arcbeetle's medal?" questioned Warren.
"Yes, I did. In my past, when I fought people under Cloud's control a shadow came out of their bodies after I defeated them. First time in a long time, that I saw it come out of a medal." said N-Blade.
"What do you mean 'first time in a long time'?" asked Samantha.
"In the era I lived in, no scratch that, in the dimension I existed in was much like this one. However, it was a blend between archaic and futurist life. There we have cyborgs that are like Medabots, but they were the height of average people. There we had the ability to transfer people's minds as well as their powers into a medal. Only the old, sick, or critically injured did this. When a cyborg was critically injured in a fight their medal ejects to save it from being destroyed like a Medabot's. I however, was turned into a medal instead. This was possible, but highly dangerous in those times. But Ruby being the bitch she was turned me into one through a combination of magic and technology." answered N-Blade his rage slightly coming back.
"Keep calm, N-Blade. If you let your rage control you, your thinking shall be clouded and unfocused mind. You will need a cleared and focused mind to defeat your foes." smartly said Dragonite.
"Your right my crazy dragon friend in a female DGO-type body." laughed a calmed N-Blade. Dragonite however got pissed and tried to get up, but ended up falling due to his injuries. Everyone sweatdropped at this action. Freya helped Dragonite to his feet and kept him balanced.
"Thanks Freya....." said Dragonite.
"Your welcome!" chimed Freya in her normal voice(she is no longer drained from using Hydro-Striker), as she helped Dragonite to his Medafighter.
"You know Dragonite....I'm kind of surprised you didn't get more totaled that this...." said Warren putting regen-pads on Dragonite.
"You and me both, buddy." replied the Dragon-type.
The Medafighters that had their bots totaled grabbed the medals that belonged to their bots and put them in their Medawatches. They wondered how long it would be before their bots would be out of commission and glanced over at Matt. Even the Medafighters whose bots were still standing glanced at Matt.
"No freakin' way! I can't fix eight Medabots without help! And I doubt any of you would help me!" yelled an outraged Matt.
"Who says I want you to fix Arcbeetle? I'm going elsewhere to get him fixed....farewell!" yelled SMX disappearing along with Arcbeetle's totaled body. [ How he pulled that off is beyond me. ]
"Well seven is still a big number! If you guys help me out, I may be able to. But I don't know." replied Matt.
"Come on dude! You know we'll help! You can't expect us you leave ya hangin' with seven bots to fix!" reinsured Rintaro.
"Ok then, lets go over to my house and we'll get started." said Matt and the others followed taking their bots with them. N-Blade, however was using some of his powers to lift the wreck that was Totalizer and carried him for Sloan. Freya helped Dragonite walk, and Metabee's legs were replaced with his normal ones so he could walk. Everyone else just carried their bots expect for Alexis, since Krosserdog was holding Link's body for her.
At an Unknown Location
In a room filled with nearly total darkness stood a lone Medabot near the only light source in the room. Even though the bot was near a light source, it was hard to make out anything save that it was a male bot. The light source was actually a pool of glowing light and in this pool were the images of N-Blade and company.
"So, you figured out it was me controlling him, eh little Merrick? Well be prepared to face my wrath soon little ninja!" cackled the Medabot.
"Don't be so rash, Cloud." said a feminine voice.
"You're no fun Ruby!" complained Cloud.
"That's what you say now, but remember Merrick is no longer Merrick, he's Ninja-Blade now and his powers are growing everyday. But you know that ours are no match for his at the moment." countered Ruby in a harsh tone.
"Too true, so very true Ruby. We must wait until we have the strength to defeat him. I can't believe his friends though were able to defeat Arcbeetle! I gave him more than enough strength to beat them!" roared Cloud.
"Ahh, but remember, it was the kunoichi that saved the day. I can't remember who she is for her powers are just developing again. But I can tell her powers are strong, and they have a familiar aura around them." said Ruby.
"Who knows and cares who she is? I believe the way to get Merrick....er-Ninja-Blade is by going through his friends. If we take them out, or maybe use them. We can have Ninja-Blade!" laughed Cloud.
"Cloud it is better if we use them. Then we can give them some powers and have them defeat Ninja-Blade for us! Or at least drain and damage him enough for us to take him out!" cackled Ruby.
"That's a good idea! Let's do it! So who should we pick first?" asked Cloud in an evil tone.
"I have the perfect subject in mind......." laughed Ruby evilly.
To Be Continued......
Boo-yah! Plot is finally going again! *laughs* Ok, who are Ruby and Cloud really? How are they here if N-Blade originally came from somewhere else? Can N-Blade stop them? Or will they take him out? Also, who does Ruby have in mind to be the first to wear down N-Blade? Find out in the next chapter of Ninja-Wind!
