Human Emotions are a Pain!

Part one: A beetle and dog type down for the count

Author: The California girl with no life!

Disclaimer: Medabots does not belong to me, but I wish it did. Only the Cloaked figure belongs to me!

Author note: Ikki and the others are 15 in the story. That means it's been around 5 years since the show started. Rintaro now lives in the city. He moved there a month after the whole big medabot thing.

It was a beautiful day, the sky was blue, kids were happy it was a Friday and school would be over in three weeks. Ikki and Metabee were fighting once again against Koji and Sumilidon. This week it was all of the Mr. Referees week off, so none of this week's robattles will count in the standings. Every one was watching, Samantha and her Peppercat, Spyke with his Crosserdog, Sloan and his medabot Totalizer, Erika with Brass, Karin with her Nuetranurse, and Rintaro and his Kantaorth.

As Metabee was launching his missile launcher at Sumilidon, flash of pink lighting almost hit Ikki."…. What the hell?!? What was that?" exclaimed Koji after another almost hit him. Then cackles of evil sounding laughter rung through the park.

There was silence when he stopped. Then in a deep voice the dark, the cloaked figure said, " I'm here to destroy every single medabot in the world. And none of you can stop me," "Well, if you're here to destroy medabots, why are you attacking my star apprentice, Ikki, and my Koji!?!" said a very pissed of Samantha. Both Ikki and Koji almost look more frazzled by that remark than by the pink lighting.

"I was making an example of them, my loud mouth medafighter!" the cloaked man; we now see that he has a mask on that looked like a black ski mask with a light blue tear under the left eye. "All of those that associate with these monsters must know the pain I went through, because of a medabot!"

"Medabots don't hurt people unless the medafighter commands them to, and in my experience as a journalist, I've never heard of a medabot ever hurting a human!" shouted Erika.

"Hey no one interferes one of my robattles or hurts my pal!" that strange comment form Metabee made Ikki smile. Ikki's face went stern and shouted in his medawatch, "Ok Metabee, let's show that creep what anyone gets when they try to hurt or destroy medabots or medafighters!" "I'm with you Ikki, let's get meda BUSY!" said Metabee in his usual fashion, with one arm pointed up and the other hand on his waste.

While this touching moment was occurring, Rintaro, Koji, Spyke, and the others were getting ready for battle. Well all except for Erika who was still arguing with the cloaked stranger. The cloaked stranger got angry with Erika and shot at her; Metabee got in front of her and got hit. No serious damage occurred, and he started to attack.

Erika had her camera out and was taking photographs. Every single one of their medabots was fighting, only Metabee and Crosserdog got hit with a new weapon that shot out purple lighting. Surprisingly the man held his own and was some what winning. Then Metabee used his medafocre and knocked him out cold.

Karin used her cell phone to call 911. Then Metabee and Crosserdog both had a function ceases in the same fashion. Both had weird green sparks coming from their bodies. After Karin saw this she called her uncle and said, " Uncle Aki, PLEASE COME QUICKLY! Metabee and Crosserdog are both very badly hurt and need your help!" Ikki and Spyke both sat on their knees next to their medabot. For once Samantha felt sorry for Spyke, and tried to reinsure him things would be all right.

Dr. Aki come first to the scene thanks to his helicopter, "I think we need to bring them to my lab to help them better." Saying this after looking at the medabots with a sharp eye. Every one agreed to this and Ikki, Metabee, Spyke, and Crosserdog were all loaded in the helicopter. Koji and the rest stayed because there was no more room and the masked freak needed to be watched. Dr. Aki got in and said, "Karin, as soon as the police and the ambulance get here come to my lab."

"Alright Uncle,"

"That goes for everyone who was in the fight, I want to check over every medabot to see if they're ok, got it?" After Dr. Aki said that he got in and shut the door and left.

Rintaro whispered, "Dude I hope Metabee and Crosserdog are going to be alright," every one's faces were solemn and no one spoke for a minute. "Of coarse they're going to be alright, Dr. Aki knows every thing about Medabots!" exclaimed Koji, who mostly said it to comfort Karin who looked like she was going to cry at any minute.

A few minutes later, the police and ambulance arrived, when they were waiting Koji called one of his servants to pick them up. The servant was there as well and they all left to go to Dr. Aki's lab.























Part Two: Who are they?

Ikki and Spyke tried not to go emotional but none of them ever saw their medabot in such a condition. Sure Spyke lost most of his robattles, but he never saw Crosserdog so bad before. About ten minutes later they reached the lab, a large amount of people in white coats came and helped them get the two Medabots to a room.

Afterwards Ikki and Spyke were escorted to a waiting room, both in their own sad worlds. Spyke spoke first, " Ikki, in your own opinion, do you think… any thing will, I mean, well," Ikki stopped Spyke, "Of coarse Crosserdog and Metabee will be ok, I mean it's probably a cross wire or some thing." Ikki's tone was unreadable, even to Spyke, who listened to Ikki for the past five years and became friends. "I hope you're right," whispered Spyke.

It had been twenty minutes since Crosserdog and Metabee were put in the examining room. Spyke had fallen asleep on one of the leather coaches; Ikki was reading a magazine about, what else medabots. He wasn't really reading but he couldn't just fall asleep like Spyke did. Just then the door opened, and the rest of the gang entered. Spyke woke up from a troubled sleep looking depressed; he stood up.

Then you see the size difference in all the fifteen year-olds. Spyke was the tallest at 5 foot 10½. Ikki was 5 foot 3, Erika was 5 foot one, and Karin was 5 foot 2 ½ an inch, Samantha was 5 foot 2 7/8 inches, Koji was 5 foot 4, and Sloan was 5 foot 3½. Rintaro was the shortest at 4 foot 11¼.

Rintaro broke the silence, "Dudes, your medabots are doing better," "That's great! Umm how do you know?" asked Spyke. "Because Dr. Aki told us to tell you," said Koji. "I got some footage if you want to see," Erika said in a manner that she thought would cheer them up. Both medafighters looked at each other for a moment and nodded their heads. Erika handed the tape to Sloan, and he puts it in the VCR in the room.

The tape started out with both medabots in the weird state they were in; then Dr. Aki does some stuff with some equipment then, a purple flash blinds every one. Then we see the medabots looking normal but still off line. Erika questions Dr. Aki "What was that flash sir? Was that supposed to have happened? Are they ok?" Then Dr. Aki says you're not supposed to be here, and says " I don't know what happened but both medabots are stable," he paused, " We all must take a break, the guards will be here and the cameras are on so me and my assistants can have a break. As I say, some one tired and hungry can not work very well, if at all." The recording stops and both medafighters are relived.

Then Ikki thought of some thing, " Metabee and Crosserdog are all alone, what if they go on line! Metabee will go ballistic I know it!" The idea sank in and they got the picture, they all went to the white room where the medabots were. Ikki got there first, and what he saw made him stop in his tracks. "Karin, Erika, Samantha stop!" Ikki practically yelled, all of them stopped.

"Why do you want use to stop?" asked a concerned Karin. "Yeah, why just us, and why not the rest of you bozos!" screamed Samantha. While this was going on Rintaro looked in and saw why, "Dude there's two naked guys in there!" Sure enough there was two naked boys in there, around the age of fifteen both of them unconscious on the same table as the medabots. The one next to Metabee had shoulder length blonde hair that was the same shade of blonde as Metabee's body. His hair was in spike clomps going down and one clump was covering his left eye. His face was the same shape as Ikki's and his skin was wasn't the same shade as Ikki's but it was close just a little lighter, and he was around Ikki's height. The other next to Crosserdog was around 5 foot 6 inches tall with dark blue/black hair that spiked in the way Spyke's hair was. His face had the same face outline as Henry with the same eye shape as a normal person, with fair skin that was the same shade as Spyke's.

Erika heard this comment from Rentaro and took her camera. Then the two boys and medabots woke up. Both the blonde and Metabee said the same thing at the same time " Where I'm I?" to every one's surprise the blond sounded just like Metabee. Then Crosserdog and the Spyke look alike looked at the blond and said at the same time " Who are you? Where are your clothes?" Crosserdog and the other boy had the same voice. The blonde said "Whaaaat?" and looked down to see himself, "Ahh what happened to me?!?" the blonde's eyes were the same shade of green as Metabee's. We now see that the taller boy has dark blue eyes.

The blue eyed boy looked over at Rintaro and said, "Hello Rintaro, where is Spyke? The last thing I remember was being hit with a bolt of purple lighting and went off line." " Me too man, Ah that one totally fried my circuits." Replied the blonde and Metabee. Rintaro was speechless. Spyke heard most of the conversation and looked in the door Rentaro was next to and he paled. The blue eyed boy looked at Spyke and said "Good to see you well boss." Spyke fainted and Metabee, the blonde, Crosserdog and the Spyke look alike sweatdroped. Now we hear footsteps of many adults coming toward the room.

"So it wasn't a prank, the video was right," said a shock, but not to shocked Dr. Aki. "What do you mean Uncle?" asked Karin. "I mean, oh never mind let me show you the tape," Dr. Aki paused, "Guard get these boys some clothes!" A guard left in a hurry. None of the girls saw the boys yet so Dr. Aki kept it that way until they got them some clothes. A minute later the same guard came back with two guard uniforms that would fit the boys.

Spyke awoke with Crosserdog in front of his face, Spyke started to hug his medabot. The boys started to put on the clothes when Ikki saw the tattoo on the blondes back, it was designed the same as Metabee's medal and in the same place as a medabots would be. Ikki also saw on the other boy's back Crosserdog's medal designed on his back in the same spot. Both medabots notice too and stared dumfounded.

Then Dr. Aki put the tape in the VCR and pressed the play button. It started out with the medabots lying on the table when a flash of green came from the two bots. When the flash was gone we see the two boys on the table the way Rentaro found them. The video had that fuzzing up thing to not show the private areas.

Every one was quite, then Sloan said "Well that explains why they sound alike, they're the same." Every one looked at Sloan in question except for Dr. Aki and the other adults. "Sloan care to explain to the rest of us in the dark," said the blue eyed boy.

"Well let's see, what's your name?"

"Crosserdog."

"And you Blondie?"

"Metabee," answered a confused boy, who started to get angry because he didn't like to be referred to as 'Blondie'.

"There you have it, some how these guy's came from Metabee and Crosserdog and also have their memory too," stated Sloan. "That's very good Sloan, that's what we think too," said Dr. Aki.

"But how" Koji was cut off by Dr. Aki, " We don't know Koji, we just don't,"

Part three: Human Names

After the theory on how there came to be a human Metabee and a human Crosserdog settled in Karin says, " Where are they going to stay?" every one looked at her. "What do you mean Karin?" asked Human Metabee. "I think she means the chances Ikki's and Spyke's parents letting you guys stay at their homes, are a little slim. And we should think of where we'll put you two," answered Erika. "Oh" human Metabee and human Crosserdog didn't think of that. "Don't worry if you can't stay at their homes you can stay at my home," Dr. Aki added, " besides we have more important things to worry about, like teaching you two how to be human and giving you human names." "What's wrong with MY name?!?" shouted human Metabee. "Nothing it's just for two main reasons, one your names are medabot names and two it would get tiring to say human Metabee or human Crosserdog," Dr. Aki claimed. Metabee calmed down a little and was rolling up the sleeves, which were too big for him.

"It's a good thing that school's almost over so we can um, show you two the 'ropes' of being human," stated Ikki. "Speaking of school I think we should have you two in a placement test to see if you're ready for school, and Metabee and Crosserdog should take it too, to see if going human affected their IQ.," said Dr. Aki. Metabee, human Metabee, Crosserdog and human Crosserdog agreed and went to another room.

They were each seated to a computer and started the test. The others waited in another room as not to disturb them. The test was multiple choice and a test for high school juniors. Ten minutes later they were done with the test, two minutes passed and the computer finished correcting the tests. "How do you think you did on the test human Metabee?" Erika asked with a microphone in her hand. "Off the record," Metabee said while putting his hand on hers, to lower the microphone from his face, "not bad,"

"We have the test scores," said Dr. Aki, every one looked at him waiting for an answer. "Metabee got an 85%, Human Metabee got an 90%, Crosserdog got a 90% and human Crosserdog got a 93% one the test." Both Metabees scores shocked every one. It didn't seem to them that he was that book smart, sure fighting or street smart but never book smart. Then Metabee said "What did you think I did sitting in the tree out side your guy's class room window all day?"

Then Rintaro's stomach growled, then he looks at his watch and says "Dude it's 7:15, my mom is going to kill me! Can I get a ride from some one or call my mom?" "Sure Rintaro, you can use my cell phone." Karin offered, he thanks her and turns on the phone. On the phone Rintaro says "Mom I'm having dinner at Dr. Aki's and will be back later, bye." He hands the phone back to Karin and said " I got the answering machine."

Meanwhile every one else was down Erika's trout right then, "You can't put this in the news paper!" Shouted Spyke and Ikki. "The public has a right to know!" was Erika's entire defense. Human Metabee said calmly, "Well if that's the case," then he said the rest in a shout, and taking the camera away from her, " THEN KISS YOUR CAMERA GOOD BYE!!!" Just about when he was going to throw it into a wall, human Crosserdog grubbed his arm, "Stop it!!!" he yelled tightening the grip he had on human Metabee's arm. Human Metabee gave him a death glare and gave Erika her camera back. 'Whoa I stood up to Metabee, am I going nuts, or is this part of the whole human thing?' thought human Crosserdog.

Dr. Aki came in with a menu and the hungry teens began to order. Most of teens ordered pizza or hamburgers. Human Crosserdog and human Metabee had no idea what to order until human Metabee came across a picture of a watermelon and next to it a T-bone stake. So human Metabee and human Crosserdog ordered watermelon, fruit and T-bone stakes.

During that waiting period for food the gang was trying to come up with names for our new humans. "How about…Peter?" Ikki offered. "NO!" both boys yelled. Karin was looking through a name book and found a perfect name for human Crosserdog, " How about Cyan!" Karin said. Every one looked at her as if she were insane, the whole point of this was not to put suspicion in the name. Then Karin said "According to the book the name is very common in some countries, and before Crosserdog was Crosserdog he was Cyandog." "I like that name, thank you Miss Karin," human Crosserdog said, "from now on I'm Cyan." "Now all we have to do is find one for human Metabee," said Metabee; " this is not going to be easy."

"Hey how about Kurt, that's a totally cool name!" Rintaro suggested

"Nah," human Metabee sighed.

"How about Tomas!" said Koji.

"No way am I going to have that NAME!"

"How about…Dan?" asked Samantha.

"No," human Metabee said in a flat tone.

"What about…Chris?" suggested Karin.

"No thank you," human Metabee said as politely as he could at that point.

"Zack?" said Sloan.

"Not on your life."

"John?" asked Spyke.

"No sounds to farm like to me."

"Erik?" said Erika.

"No. No offence or any thing but it sounds too much like your name."

"Yosaku?" suggested Spyke.

"WHAT KIND OF A NAME IS THAT! NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"What about Shobei?" asked Crosserdog.

"No way in HELL!!!"

In a timid voice Spyke said, "How about Maxwell?" At this point he was trembling.

"……..I like it. Maxwell, but call me Max." every one was thankful that picking a name for human Metabee or 'Max' was over. None of their hearing could go on much longer with that volume.

Dinner came and it was a site to see how Max and Cyan ate. Cyan had no table manners; in fact he ate like a starved dog. With food going in his hair, on his forehead and on his noes, it was a surprise to know he actually got any in his mouth. Max almost choked on his food a couple of times. Karin and Koji worked on Cyan's table manners while Ikki and the rest tried to teach Max how to chew and swallow. Their human counter parts stunned both Metabee and Crosserdog and they left the room. By this time the rest of the medabots were there to talk to. They left saying that they would explain to the other medabots about Max and Cyan.

Max had enjoyed his meal; his favorite was the watermelon; Cyan also enjoyed his meal, but his favorite part was the T-bone stake. Then it was announced that desert would be served shortly by one of the cooks. Sloan never thought he would be dreading desert, but now he was, the thought of either Max or Cyan eat made him queasy. It was now 8:21pm and every one agreed to spend the night at Dr. Aki's place for the night for two reasons. One it was Friday so their parents couldn't argue much about it, and two it was a good idea to keep an eye on Max and Cyan.

"Hey Ikki, do you think I could stay in that one room your parents turned into a guess room?" asked Max. "I think so, I mean you know my parents, and they don't need the money," said Ikki. "I know, I just wanted to be sure. Hey if I live with you, do you think your parents will let me join a martial art class?" Ikki looked at Max with a questioning look. Max explains, "I mean since I'm human I can't robattle like I used to, and I would not like to be a medafighter. Only because I love to go head to head with my opponent as you noticed. And martial arts sounds cool." Ikki never thought of that, Max couldn't robattle like he used to, ' Man that would be weird if Max had a medabot' thought Ikki. "Um I guess they wouldn't mind," Ikki said.

Cyan overheard the conversation and said, "Can I join too? I mean I too would get bored if I didn't fight." "Why not? You do need lessons on how to fight. Man you suck at it!" Max said in a cocky way. "I do not!"

"Yes you do"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

As this went on, Metabee and the other medabots came in to see how things were going. They come in on very bored teens in the room waiting for dessert and the two boys arguing. "What are they arguing about?" asked Peppercat. Ikki explained about the their plains to join a martial arts class and the argument. Just then the ice cream came and Max and Cyan stopped arguing and returned to the dinner table. There were many different kinds of ice cream; there was chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cookie dough, chocolate mint, rocky road, and coffee. The two boys sampled all the ice cream. Max liked the cookie dough, vanilla, coffee, strawberry, and chocolate. Cyan liked the vanilla, chocolate mint, rocky road, coffee, and cookie dough. "Don't eat too much or you might get a stomach ache," warned Karin. It was already 8:40pm when the two boys finished their bowls and now was time for some other human lessons to begin.

While the gang ate Dr. Aki called all the parents and said that they would be spending the weekend with him and to pack up some clothes and things for them. Dr. Aki also explained to Ikki's and Spyke's parents about Max and Cyan and their parents agreed to house them. Ikki's mom always treated Metabee like a kid so she wasn't phased at all and always wanted another kid. And Spyke's parents didn't want to hurt their son in any way so what else could they do?

Part four: Bathroom Break!

The gang was getting their stuff together to go to Dr. Aki's home. Their clothes and other things were being sent to the house but the teens had to get their backpacks and medabots gathered up. Dr. Aki had a plan for tomorrow, first breakfast, then a couple of quick lessons on being human and going shopping for some clothes and other things for Max and Cyan. They loaded the helicopter and got in. The girls sat on one side and the boys sat on the other, Dr. Aki was flying and the medabots were seated practically on their medafighters laps.

On the way there most of the kids fell asleep except for Max and Cyan. The medabots took advantage of this. "So how's it like being human?" asked Brass. "Well it's kinda hard to explain, I mean one minute metal the next flesh. In a nutshell pretty weird," answered Max. After a few minutes of questioning the two boys Cyan fell asleep. Around they reached Dr. Aki's house.

When they got there Max had a little fun waking them up by yelling at the top of his lungs, "WAKE UP!!!!" Needless to say they got up and Ikki was about to put a death hold on Max's throat when Karin said, "Don't, I'm sure that we sleep pretty soundly and didn't wake the first time he tried and he just went for a more effective means of waking us up." None of them believed that by no one argues with Karin.

They got in the house, or a small mansion, and decided to figure out who goes where. "Well Karin, Erika and Samantha can share Karin's side of the house and you boys can stay at the other. You can decide if you want to share rooms or not but as for me I'm going to bed. It's already 9:55 and I need some sleep," yawned Dr. Aki who looked like he would fall asleep on his feet at any moment. The girls left right then because they needed some quite for awhile. The boys, on the other hand, needed to decide who shares rooms, and with whom, but at the moment they weren't getting anywhere. After debating it for five minutes it was decided that Max, Ikki, Spyke and Cyan would stay in one room, and Koji, Rintaro and Sloan in another. Metabee and the rest of the medabots owned by the boys went up stairs first. The medabots then went in the rooms and went offline for the night.

Max and Cyan on the other hand were starting to get tired. "I can't keep my eyes opened much longer," Cyan yawned. Just then Max eyes bugged out (sorry no pun intended, you know Metabee is a beetle type medabot.) and he was doing the potty dance. Every one knew what the dance meant and Koji said, "You know were the bathroom is so go!" "It's not knowing where the can is, it's how to go that's the prob!" screamed Max. "Ikki go with him and show him!" said Koji. "Why me?!?" Ikki almost yelled. "Because you use to be his medafighter and you can run faster than the rest of us," replied Koji coolly. "Oh, all right!" exclaimed Ikki and he took Max's hand and went running to the bathroom. Cyan looked over at the rest of the gang and asked, "Will you guy's explain to me now so I don't have to go through that?" the boys blushed and quickly regained their cool and explained in soft tones so none of the girls on the other side could hear.

Meanwhile back to Max and Ikki, Ikki had a hard time explaining to Max and had to show him himself, he didn't have to go but he showed how to point and hold. "Max never tell that I had to show you that to anyone," he said while zipping up his pants, "I mean, it's not exactly normal." "No offence but I sort of want to forget that little demo," Max smirked zipping up the guards uniform pants. "Hn," was all Ikki's response.

Ikki and Max got in the bedroom and Cyan was all ready asleep in one over sized T-shirt that belongs to Spyke. The shirt was white and had the sleeves go to his elbows and passed the knees. The site was really cute he was curled up in a ball on the sheets. Earlier Spyke said for him to sleep in the covers but Cyan said it was too hot to sleep in them. "Here's your bag Ikki," Spyke said from behind them; he was in a black pair of pajamas. Both Ikki and Max tensed up then relaxed when they recognized who it was. Ikki turn and said, "Thanks," and started to dig in the bag. He found what he was looking for, one of his white tang top things boys wear and boxers and one over sized T-shirts that should go pass Max's knees.

Max's puts on the T-shirt and goes into one of the beds. Ikki goes into the one next to him and goes out like a light. In the morning they go down stairs and have breakfast and talk about a shopping trip for the two boys. Max only agreed to this as long as on the way they sign up for a martial class on the way.

AN, it will get more jammed packed in the next few chapters, I promise.
