Danki and BeatBox Pt 2

(The Absolution)



Last Time On MedaBots: Danki Renton, a fresh MedaFighter, activates her MedaBot, BeatBox for the first time. She meets Ikki and the gang, and just as things start looking up, they drop like a wet rag.



Kantroth, Rintaro, and BeatBox broke the surface with a splash. "They got her Ikki!"MedaBee cried. He clutched the off-line Brass tightly. "This isn't good. Her body is full of water!"He whispered harshly. "We have to try to get to shore!"Ikki screamed. Kicking and pushing frantically they managed to reach the shore. "Here! Take my hand!"Commanded a deep voice. Ikki looked up to see Rokusho holding his hand out, his sworded hand embedded into the trunk of a tree. Nodding, he took the robots hand and he pulled him up. "Hold Erika for me!"He cried. He took the shivering girl in his grasp. Ikki tugged out Rintaro and MetaBee climbed out, still clutching Brass. "Dude! Ikki! This girl isn't looking so good!"Rintaro cried to him as he and his MedaBot pulled Danki out. BeatBox's blue eyes went wide as he wrung out his cap. "What do you mean 'she's not looking so good?'!". He demanded, nearly hysterical. "Ikki?! Erika? Is that you?"Came another voice. Kerin's pink limo could be seen through the sheets of rain, her head poking through the window. Loosing his liking for her he shouted, "Kerin! We need your help!". The limo screeched to a stop just as Rintaro shouted, "Ikki! She's not breathing!". "WHAT?!"Roared BeatBox's hysterical voice. He turned to her, Rokusho was laying her flat on the ground. "NutraNurse! We have to help them!" Kerin cried. Despite the fact that she might soil her pretty clothes, and wet her nicely done hair, she dashed out of the backseat of the limo and to the group that was huddled beneath a tree. "NutraNurse! Shock her! She needs a jolt!"Kerin shouted. The Nurse Type activated her dibibulator hands and shocked the girl with all she could. Nothing happened. "Again!"She demanded. Danki's small body jerked uncontroablly as electricity flowed through her. She stiffened up a moment later and threw up what seemed like gallons of water. "C-Cold..."she gasped. Rokusho removed his thick cloak and wrapped it around the shaking girl. "Come on. They all need to be placed in a hosptail."Kerin said. They piled into her car and sped off to the nearest hosptial.

MetaBee held Brass tightly in his arms. "This isn't good. NutraNurse, do ya got a bucket?"He asked. The nurse MedaBot reached behind her and pulled out a three gallon bucket. "Will this suffice?"She asked. He nodded. "Kantroth, Rokusho, gimmie a hand ta lift her up. She's heavy with all this water in her."MetaBee said to the other Bot'. "Sure.". Kantroth picked Brass up and MetaBee popped open her back and removed the Medal. Water tricked from the tiny openings there as Rokusho held up the bucket. "We need to get it all out..."He trailed. He tipped her arm with her gun on it twards the bucket and a steady, thick stream of cold water poured into the bucket. Once her body was devoid of water, he replaced the Medal, and closed the hatch. Ikki's mom had always taught him and Ikki, that if you dried off after getting out of the water if it was cold, there was a better chance of not getting sick. He took a small hand towl off a rung that he saw and proceded to dry of the Sailor-Type MedaBot. He let his fingertips graze over her cream colored metal face. 'Brass....' He mentally sighed. He sat her up against The seat, and threw down the cloth.

BeatBox clasped Danki in his arms. "Don't let me go BeatBox....I'm scared."She whispered. Her chest was heaving with every breath she took. "Driver please hurry! My MedaFighter is getting worse!"He urged frantically. The limo sped faster as they reached the Emergency section of the hosptail. Doctors and Nurses and a few Mechanics were awaiting them. "Give her here!" shouted a doctor. "Please take good care of her."BeatBox asked. He nodded. "I'll do everything I can.". Ikki heaved Erika onto another gurney next to her. "Take care of her too!"He shouted. The Mechanic was placing Brass on another gurney. "Don't worry. I'm onle of the best Mechanics here. I'll fix her the best I can."He said to MetaBee in a strong voice. "Thank you."was all the little KBT type could reply. The doctors raised their radios on their collars and the first doctor said loudly, "I need two beds, both for hypo treatments. And some towels!". The Mechanics voice came. "I need one work room ready for a Sailor-Type MedaBot from water erosion and damage..". With that, they wheeled them inside.



3 Hours Later....

"Ikki!"Cired a voice. Snapping out of his daze, he saw the LAST person he would have suspected running to him. Koji was clattering down the hall way, Sumilladon revving behind him. "Koji? What are you doing here?"He asked, bewildered. "You guys and the river. It's all over the news!"He cried. "You kidding!"Was the suprised reply. Koji cliked on the televison. And their they were. Fighting against the waves. Pictures. "If they were there...why didn't they help us!? Danki and Erika could've drowned!Ikki screamed at the open air. His rival shrugged. Then he noticed Kerin was there, and soaking wet. "Kerin! Good God, your soaked! Can we get some towels over here!?"Koji screamed. A nurse hurried over, several fluffy towls in her arms. "Here you go Kerin."Koji said as he draped a towel over her shoulders. "Thank you Koji."Came her reply.

BeatBox sat slumped over in his chair. This was all his fault. He didn't know how or why. But he felt like it was his fault. He should've been able to hold her chair up! How could he let his MedaFighter, no not just his MedaFighter, his best friend. "Oh God. What have I done?"He whispered. Sighing he placed his head into his hands and let out a deep sigh. "Hey, BeatBox? You gonna be okay?" Ikki asked him. He got a wordless nod. 'Poor BeatBox. His first day functioning, and his MedaFighters' in the hosptial...'Ikki thought.



MetaBee sat just as nervous as BeatBox, Kantroth, and Rintaro. They were at the hospital, and one part was for MedaBots. Brass was in a critical state when they had reached the hospital. Ikki, Danki, and Erika had been taken away too. Erika and Danki for hypothermia, and for Ikki to dry off. Danki's lungs were still weak. "This isn't good."He sighed. BeatBox went ridgid as the emergency room doctor walked out behind the mechanic, his face emotionless. "Oh no...."was all the Music Style Bot' could muster.



"The MedaFighters are going to be fine. You may see them now."The doctor replied with a slight smile. BeatBox felt the incredible weight lift off his robotic shoulders. "Thank God."He could only say. Ikki jumped to his feet along with BeatBox. They ran into the rooms, Kerin and NutraNurse with Rintaro and Kantroth.

"Erika?"Ikki asked. "Ikki?"Came a quiet reply. Erika was laying in the bed, many blankets tucked around her. "Erika!"He cried, running to his best friends bedside. She smiled. "Where's Brass?"She asked suddenly, her smile fading. "After you passed out, Brass---she shut down. She's in critical."He replied. To his shock, tears began welling up in her earthen colored eyes. "Is she going to be alright?"She asked. He shugged. "I don't know. Their still working on her."He answered. "Brass...."She whispered. Ikki reached for the box of tissues. "Oh man, Erika...don't cry. Brass is going to be okay. I promise."He said to her as he wiped her eyes. Little did they know what was happening in the next room...

"Danki? Can you hear me?"BeatBox asked as he walked into the darkened room. His audio picked up the faint whooshing sound of a resperator. And the faint beeps of a moniter. "Danki? Can you hear me?"He asked. "BeatBox? Is that you?"Came her soft voice. But yet....it was muffled by something. Walking to her side, he saw her in a bed, blankets, tubes, and moniters surrounding her. He picked up her hand in his own larger ones. "Danki, I'm so sorry."He whispered. He looked her full in the face, a small mask covering her mouth and nose. "It's not your fault BeatBox.". "But, I'm your MedaBot! I'm supposed to protect you!"He argued. She shook her head. "It's not your fault. We should've just been more careful where we were. That bridge is anchient. It was built was back in the year 2000. That was before even Medals existed. Trust me, BeatBox. It's not your fault."She whispered. He sighed. "Your not going to give up on this argument...are you Danki.". She shook her head. "Nope."She giggled softly.

MetaBee watched Ikki and BeatBox run into the seperate rooms, and sighed heavailly. "I hope Brass will be alright." Kerin sighed. Koji ran his hand over the top of his hair. "Brass is the MedaBot that belongs to that Erika girl...right MetaBee?"He asked. He turned his head to the KBT type and gasped. The little bot was attempting to reach the spot on his back that held his Medal. "MetaBee! What are you doing?"Kerin asked as she gently moved his hands away. "Let me go."Was the steely answer. "Why were you trying to remove your Medal, MetaBee?" NutraNurse asked him. "I should be deactivated for what I did." He whispered. Kerin gasped as she heard this. Then, kind and gentle NutraNurse, came up to him, looked him dead in the eye, and punched him. "Ow! What's that for you crazy nurse?!"He shouted, rubbing his metal face. "Ikki needs you now. Brass needs you now. And your thinking of removing you medal? How dare you. If that is what is running through your mind...then you need to have your medal replaced. What your thinking is wrong. Your MedaFighter, and your best friends need you terribly now."She fumed. MetaBee could only stare, frozen as he played the Mini-Speech over and over again. She glared at him, her pink eyes glaring at him. He hung his head in defeat. "Your right."

The MedaBots mechanic wiped a bit of sweat from his brow as he pored over the Sailor-Type. "Your pretty busted up arent you girlie?"He muttered. He continued to dry out her cervo and main stystem. He kept running over again how that KBT type looked when he had taken this MedaBot from him. "Please take good care of her."He had whispered. Was that....fear? Did he remember seeing fear shining in it's wide lime-green eyes. "There, all done."He said to himself. He slipped the Medal in and listened. Everything sounded alright. Strawberry eyes lit back up, and the Sailor-Type sat up with a start. "MISS ERIKA!"She screamed. The mechanic put his gentle hands on her metal shoulders. "Don't fret. Miss Erika is going to be fine. But I think someone else wants to see you too."He smiled. Her bright eyes seemed to dance. "MetaBee!"She cried.

MetaBee sat stiffly on his seat, fidgiting anxiously. 'Please be okay Brass. I don't know what I'd do with out you.'. He thought. Then the MedaBots' hospital mechanic came out, his face emotionless . 'MedaBee does NOT like that look.' He thought. Then, from behind him, peered out-- "BRASS!"Screamed MetaBee. He ran to her side, ignoring the others staring at them. "I thought I'd lost you forever!"He cried. Without warning, and loosing all dignity, he clasped her in an embrace that he whished would never end. "There's something I want to tell you."She whispered into his audio. "What?" he asked. "No matter where I am....no matter what happens to us, I will always be with you. And.......I will always love you MetaBee."She whispered. He looked into her strawberry-colored eyes, just as she collapsed into his arms, motionless.
