The door slowly opened in Ikki's room, softly creaking. The dim light in the

hallway outlined two shadowed figures."Just five more minutes' mom..." Ikki mumbled

in his sleep, rolling so he was facing the doorway. With little sound both figures crept to

either side of the bed, and the one on the right raised one hand, preparing to strike...


"WAKE UP IKKI!" Metabee yelled as he punched the button on the alarm clock

conveniently placed on the nightstand RIGHT next to his ear. Salty yapped loudly from

Ikki's other side. Instantly Ikki became a whirlwind of punches and kicks, ending with

Metabee flying into the wastebasket. Ikki got up from bed in his loose white PJ's and

brought his palms together and bowed at the waste to Metabee. "Ikki...you've been

watching too many late-night kung fu movies..." Metabee murmured from inside the

wastebasket as he struggled to extract himself from inside it. Ikki chuckled as he reached

over to extract his Medabot. "Whank you..." Metabee said as he spit some paper out of

his mouth. Ikki doubled over in laughter at the sight of Metabee, who was covered in

crumbled-up post-it notes, wads of ABC gum, and scotch tape from the trashcan. "Right

now, I wish I could take a bath, but I would rust..." Metabee said. "Relax, I'll clean you

up." Ikki said before he stuck his head out the door and shouted, "Mom! Can I borrow

Kazumoto again?" Ikki apparently got a "yes" answer because he got up and ran out to

get it.

Ikki returned with Kazumoto, his mother's Medabot that she had purchased a

month or two ago. It resembled a knight in red and black armor with a dragon's head and

phoenix wings on its back. "Ok, Metabee, I'm going to transfer your medal into

Kazumoto again." Ikki said. Metabee allowed Ikki to open his back hatch and remove his

medal, placing it in Kazumoto. "Ikki!" Kazumoto said as it came alive with Metabee's

voice. "What weapons does Kazumoto have again?" Kazumoto asked. "I've told you

time and time again Metabee. A Laser Cannon, Auto-Rifle, and its specialty, Flaming

Arrow." Ikki explained exasperatedly. "Oh yeah." Kazumoto said as he turned on the TV

while Ikki scraped the trash off of Metabee's armor and gave it a decent polish. Just after

Ikki transferred Metabee back into his own body the doorbell rang. Mrs. Tenryo

answered it, "Ikki! Its Erika!" Mrs. Tenryo yelled. Ikki and Metabee ran into the front

hallway. "Ikki! Have you heard the news?" Erika practically screamed in Ikki's face.

"Umm...no." Ikki said, surprised at Erika's mannerism. "A new student has moved here,

and I hear he's a Medafighter whose never lost!" Erika said. "Let's go meet the new

guy!" Metabee cried as he raced out the door riding Salty like a horse. "Why not? Maybe

we can even Robattle." Ikki said, walking out after Erika and Metabee.
