Chapter Three:
Medabots Corp., Secret Laboratory
Dr. Aki was looking at the data he had
collected Shiroba. He had nearly forgotten
the lost assistant to Prof. Hoshi. He had
mainly been a gopher for the professor and
his assistants. But he had access to the
doctors theories and formulas. Formulas that
he seemed to have improved on.
Dr. Aki turned to look at the medabot that
was floating in the tank before him. It was
an incredible feat of construction, but not
too far from the medabots his corporation
was producing at the moment. Seemed to mix
flexibility and strength. But it wasn't the
medaparts that were of the important. It
was the medals.
Medals that seemed to have in them advance
fighting style and some strange coding in the
medals. Something that stopped them from
malfunctioning during the 'Ten Days of
Darkness'.
During those events and the events of
the most recent World Championship, the
stopped from being effected by something
called the 'Martial Artist's code'. Instead
of attacking people, they all headed towards
unpopulated areas and proceeded to robattle
the heck out of each other. And any time that
a human approached them, they fled to a new
location that was out of site and started
over again.
The distribution of the medaparts, tin pets,
and medals were restricted to selected areas.
Mainly places where martial artists resided in
large numbers. As that was the main consumer of
the Martial Arts Medabots. But how they were created
and delivered was the big question. Especially
with Shiroba missing. The only link they had
was the Saotome connection. Shiroba had a partner,
one Genma Saotome.
Aki had been looking for any link with Saotome.
Most of the company was left in trust to his son,
Ranma. Also, the giving of free medabots to certain
individuals which included most of the Saotome family.
But special discounts were left to other people, not
of the Saotome line. That's where the doctor's less
legal means of info gathering came in.
The major discount holder was a Mr. Soun Tendo.
One that was also linked to a engage contract
between Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome. It differ
from the various marriage contracts that Genma
had made, due to this special consideration.
Something told Aki that this was one deal that
Genma might be honouring. So that meant that
Genma would be coming near the Tendo Dojo
sooner or later.
That's why he had some of his friends keep an
eye on the building in case Genma and his son
showed up. That also why he had the Saotome
home also under secret surveillance. He just had
to wait for the results.
Nermia...
Ranma was on his way to school again. Even though
he had been having a bad time at the school. He had
spent the last few weeks trying to stop Kuno from
trying to date his female curse form. It was during
a period of trying to avoid Kuno that the young man
had decided that Ranma was some type of dark sorcerer.
As such Kuno was convinced that Ranma the dark sorcerer
was the one that was keeping him from his pig-tail girl.
So now he was stuck with Kuno trying to defeat him by
way of Martial arts combat or robattling. He had been
robattling Kuno so much that he had enough parts to
rebuild Raidenken several times over.
Ranma looked over at Akane. She had not been helpful
during the fighting with Kuno. Even when he had found
pictures of Akane coming from Kuno's pockets, she had
seemed just as hostile to him as she was to the idiot
samurai wannabe. And that wasn't counting the fights
they had gotten in at the house. She just didn't have
the skills to be a major martial arts medafighter. She
was the only Tendo that he was having major problems
with.
Kasumi was a kind, claming force in his life. A cross
between the mother he had been missing in his life and
the sister that he had never had. She had been helping
him to adjust. Her medabot, Togi, resembled her
medafighter in nature. The nurse type medabot was a
perfect match for the nurturing Tendo sister.
Nabiki was a different matter. She was different
from her sisters. A challenging puzzle. She was
a great medafighter who memorized every move that
her medabot, Stormklaw, had. Plus she had a few
new moves that he hadn't seen before. Like that
Electric Jab. But she didn't practice the arts
like more martial arts medafighters did.
She was more like an intellectual. Like how she
was managing her families' finances. Ranma had asked
her about that after he had found the photos of
Akane that Kuno had. He had guessed that only
someone close to Akane could have taken those pictures.
Someone like Nabiki. That's when he had learned
of the drains on the dojo's finances that his father
and him were.
The dojo was just getting by. It main profits
were as a place where medafighters could come
to fight in a safe and regulated manner. Her father
even had some training at being a medareferee. It
just that he didn't do it much due to Ninja Referee
showing up for most of the robattles. Nabiki even
held the occasion class on the basics of robattling.
The less than legitimate ways of making money helped
keep the dojo in business. That's way Nabiki sold
pictures and limited information and kept the betting
pools open.
After that Ranma had decided to help Nabiki out. He
made a deal with Nabiki to help in anyway possible,
as long as it didn't dishonour himself or his medabot.
That was how he had gotten into the teaching business,
help Nabiki with the basic program she had and working
on an advance version of the class. There was also talk
of having him enter some of the Martial Arts Medabots
completions. He would get some money for the dojo and
possibly some new medaparts for Ranmushi. Beside, with
Kuno's stubbornness and stupidity, Nabiki could resell
Kuno all of the excess Raidenken parts that Ranma keeps
winning off the would be samurai.
Everything seemed to be looking up. He just had to
convince Kuno stop bothering him and find away to stop
his fights with Akane. Then things would be all right.
'Where did that thunder come from?' Ranma asked himself.
Elsewhere close by...
Ryoga was trying to figure out were he was. He had been
trying to find Furinkan Koukou. That was where his rival
and enemy Ranma Saotome was suppose to be going to school.
It would be there that he would be taking revenge for all
of the things Ranma had done to him. It would be there that
Ranma's second rate medabot would face...Haganeiro.
Haganeiro was his medabot, one that had been with him most
of his life. The hercules beetle medabot was different
from most medabots of his type. For one thing he was blue.
A steel-like Blue grey colour with darker blue highlights
it was a surprising change from most of the KBT types. Some
said it had been a change caused due to a lack of the right
colour paint, but Ryoga knew that it was fate that had
brought them together. Haganeiro was his best and only
friend for all of the time on the road. Many were the
time that the medabot had helped save his life.
Ryoga was sure that his medabot was the greatest
of any medabots that had ever existed. Way better than
that medabot that Ranma had hanged around with. And
he could have proven it with the robattle he and Ranma
were going to have. Before Ranma had run away like
a coward. Before he had set out to follow Ranma to
get him to pay. Before he had seen the depths of
hell because of Ranma.
"Ryoga..." Haganeiro said, poking Ryoga in the side.
"Yes?" Ryoga asked his medabot, still trying to figure
out where in the hell he was.
"I might be wrong, but I get the feeling that we're
here" Haganeiro said. Ryoga saw that he medabot was looking
at something. Ryoga looked up and saw sign that read,
"Furiken Koukou".
"I think that you might be right." Ryoga said. Ryoga was
about to figure out what to do next when he saw a figure
coming up the road. He hide in case it was Ranma, getting
ready to attack.
Just up the road...
Ranma was just getting ready to face another day at school.
Nabiki had gone on ahead, getting here network of school gossip
ready for a new day. Also getting things ready for a new fight
between him and Kuno. Everyday, Kuno would try to beat the "foul
sorcerer" and "Free his beloved Akane Tendo and Pig-tailed Goddess".
That Kuno had fallen in love with his girl side was something
that disgusted him. Worse, was the fact Ranmushi loved to tease
him about it.
"So how's your boyfriend today? Are you ready for your date?"
Ranmushi started this morning. The medabot started laughing
at the joke he had made at Ranma's expense.
'Well, things couldn't get any worse, could they?' Ranma thought
as he walked to the gates of the high school. That's when things
when to pot.
"Saotome, Prepare to die." A voice cried out of nowhere as a
body dropped towards Ranma, ready to attack him. Ranma moved out
of the way quickly. As he did the body stopped in front of him,
and Ranma finally got a good look at the figure before him.
It was a young man about Ranma's age, dressed in a yellow shirt
and black pants. A yellow and black colour bandana circled the
head. A large umbrella in his hands, he glared at him. "Saotome,
because of you, I have seen hell." He then started to charge at
Ranma.
Ranma started to think about where he had seen this boy from. It
was obvious that the boy knew him and was upset at him. That meant
that he had to know him from somewhere so he had to think. His
memory wasn't great, but he had been working on it with the help
of Ranmushi. It would do for him to not remember a martial arts
move or a medapart that he would need. So he search him mind then
it came to him.
"Ryoga Hibiki. If this about the bread duel, I'll make it up to
you. I'll get you some more loaves of bread." Ranma said as he kept
dodging the attacks that Ryoga was making.
Ryoga dropped the umbrella over to the side near Akane and charged
Ranma again. "You ran out from our man to man fight." Ryoga screamed
"But you didn't show up. And I waited for you for three days." Ranma
said. Ranma hadn't made an attack yet because he didn't want to attack
an opponent until he had to. He hoped that Ryoga's anger would give up
soon.
Akane was watching the fight with some interest. She had been shocked that
he had run away from a fight, until she had heard his reason for it.
She walked over to the umbrella. She figure that she might as well pick it
up. That's when she discovered how heavy it was. It must weigh a ton.
Ranmushi watched the fight and Akane. Upon noticing the weight of the
weapon he started out into the middle of the fight, ready to help Ranma.
That's when he got his fight. A blue beetle medabot appeared before him,
shooting.
Ranmushi started dodging the medabots attacks. "What are you trying to do?"
Ranmushi asked angry. He wasn't expecting this attack coming during Ranma's
fight with his strange opponent. Now he was stuck in a battle with a strange
medabot while Ranma was in battle.
Meanwhile, Ranma had finally gotten hit by Ryoga. Ryoga had nearly missed
him but it had hit him. And it was strong. It was painful, but luckily he had
gotten use to powerful punches having fought Ranmushi. But still it wasn't
fun for him. But he still was winning. That's when he noticed the battle that
Ranmushi had gotten himself into. "Is that your medabot? Why didn't you ask
for a robattle if you want to robattle?" Ranma asked his opponent.
Because I want to make you pay for the hell I have seen. I want to destroy
your happiness." Ryoga yelled as he charged again.
"Hey, Ranmushi. Am I happy?" Ranma asked his medabot looking for a little
help with the answer. He was hoping for a way to defuse Ranmushi.
"A little busy right now." Ranmushi replied as he dodged the shots of
Haganeiro. The black medabot was trying to get in close to the blue medabot
to use his weapons to their fullest. But the Hercules Beetle medabot was
making the most of his advantage of range over the Stag Beetle medabot.
"Now it's time for you to face my revenge." Ryoga said as he pulled a bandana
off his head. Yet even when he removed one, a second bandana remained on his
fore head. He threw the bandana at Ranma, who dodge it. Yet Ranma saw what
happened to the tree that was behind him. The bandana slashed it. That's when
Ryoga started to fling the bandanas with increasing speed. Bandanas were flying
everywhere.
Ranma looked at the area around him, looking at some advantage to use against
Ryoga. He saw the battle between his and Ryoga's medabots. Nothing that Ranmushi
could take care of given time. The students had taken up a safe distance away
from the fight. All of them but one. Akane was still standing too close to the
fight for his tastes. She could get herself in trouble. So he jumped close to her to try to warn her to get out of the way. That was his mistake, as being Ryoga's target, he placed Akane in trouble. He heard it before he saw it. He barely had time to knock Akane out of the way before the bandana came at them. But not all of Akane made it.
Akane was surprised when Ranma jumped in front of her, then knocked her over.
That's when she felt a draft over the back of her neck. A strange chilling over
her skin. 'Skin' Akane thought as she moved her hand to the back of her neck.
Instead of feeling the long hair that she had grown with hopes of winning over
Doctor Tofu, she felt the skin of the back of her neck. She slowly filled with
a raging anger. The look on her face made it clear what she was feeling.
That stopped Ryoga and the medabots cold.
"I'm so sorry Akane. It's all my fault." Ranma said as he tried to make Akane
feel better after what she had just gone through. He hadn't meant for Akane to
get hurt during his fight with Ryoga.
"No, it's my fault. It was my bandana." Ryoga said, feeling guilty that his
revenge on Ranma had hurt an innocent girl like the one before him. "If you
want to you can hit me."
"Me too. If you want to," Ranma added wanting to see the angry girl before
him feel better.
But Akane didn't hit them, she just turned to look at them with tears in her
eyes. She then started to run off heading towards the Tendo home. She started
crying on the way.
Ranma and Ryoga stood there, looking like they had just kicked a puppy. Then
they started after them. Their medabots followed them.
Nabiki had been watching the fight when she had seen what had happened to her
sister. She wanted to go be with her sister, but she felt that Akane need some
time alone. Kasumi would most likely be able to save the appearance of Akane's
hair.
But she was still a little angry towards the two boys that had cause all of this
even if it was by accident. She could get a little revenge on Ranma by setting him
up with a really tough robattle. But she could figure out what she could do to get
a little vengeance against Ryoga. She would have to figure out what she could do.
Later that night...
Akane looked at herself in the mirror. She was still getting use to the shorter
haircut that Kasumi had given her. Her hair did look kind of nice short. Ranma had even commented that it looked a little cute. Too bad that he missed up and
insulted her soon after that. But she could appreciate his trying to be nice.
She did, however, enjoy the chewing out that Nabiki had give him. She was
really angry over the possible harm that could have befallen her. That had gotten
Daddy upset at Ranma and cause Ranma to meet the famous Tendo Demon head technique.
That look of shocked on Ranma's face was almost worth the cutting of her hair.
Almost.
But then Nabiki had started on lecturing her about her safety.
"You should have gotten out of the way of that fight. You just aren't ready to
fight in Ranma's or Ryoga's league yet. Or you should have at least gotten Scout
out to keep an eye out for your safety." Nabiki had told her, trying to her how
dangerous the fighting might get.
But all it did was make Akane feel that her sister didn't consider her a martial artist. The entire fight had made her feel that her martial artist skill weren't as good as the two boys who had been fighting. It made her feel inferior. A feeling she hated.
Then there was the battle between the medabots that had occurred during the second fight. They had been fighting without their medafighters giving them instructions. It was like they knew what their medafighters would have told them. It seemed to
show their skills as medafighters. And if their was anything that Akane valued as much as her martial arts skills it was her robattling skills.
It was then that she had made up her mind. She hadn't been fighting with Scout
during her training because she didn't feel that she needed to. But now...
She would work on increasing her robattling and martial arts skills by using her
medabot to help train her. She would then be able to meet Ranma on his own turf.
She was thinking all of this when she heard something outside...

Ranmushi asked angry. He wasn't expecting this attack coming during Ranma's

medabot while Ranma was in battle.
Meanwhile, Ranma had finally gotten hit by Ryoga. Ryoga had nearly missed
him but it had hit him. And it was strong. It was painful, but luckily he had
gotten use to powerful punches having fought Ranmushi. But still it wasn't

Because I want to make you pay for the hell I have seen. I want to destroy

"Hey, Ranmushi. Am I happy?" Ranma asked his medabot looking for a little
help with the answer. He was hoping for a way to defuse Ranmushi.
"A little busy right now." Ranmushi replied as he dodged the shots of
Haganeiro. The black medabot was trying to get in close to the blue medabot
to use his weapons to their fullest. But the Hercules Beetle medabot was
making the most of his advantage of range over the Stag Beetle medabot.
"Now it's time for you to face my revenge." Ryoga said as he pulled a bandana

Ranma looked at the area around him, looking at some advantage to use against
Ryoga. He saw the battle between his and Ryoga's medabots. Nothing that Ranmushi
could take care of given time. The students had taken up a safe distance away
from the fight. All of them but one. Akane was still standing too close to the
fight for his tastes. She could get herself in trouble. So he jumped close to her to try to warn her to get out of the way. That was his mistake, as being Ryoga's target, he placed Akane in trouble. He heard it before he saw it. He barely had time to knock Akane out of the way before the bandana came at them. But not all of Akane made it.
Akane was surprised when Ranma jumped in front of her, then knocked her over.
That's when she felt a draft over the back of her neck. A strange chilling over
her skin. 'Skin' Akane thought as she moved her hand to the back of her neck.
Instead of feeling the long hair that she had grown with hopes of winning over
Doctor Tofu, she felt the skin of the back of her neck. She slowly filled with
a raging anger. The look on her face made it clear what she was feeling.
That stopped Ryoga and the medabots cold.
"I'm so sorry Akane. It's all my fault." Ranma said as he tried to make Akane
feel better after what she had just gone through. He hadn't meant for Akane to
get hurt during his fight with Ryoga.
"No, it's my fault. It was my bandana." Ryoga said, feeling guilty that his
revenge on Ranma had hurt an innocent girl like the one before him. "If you
want to you can hit me."
"Me too. If you want to," Ranma added wanting to see the angry girl before
him feel better.
But Akane didn't hit them, she just turned to look at them with tears in her
eyes. She then started to run off heading towards the Tendo home. She started
crying on the way.
Ranma and Ryoga stood there, looking like they had just kicked a puppy. Then
they started after them. Their medabots followed them.
Nabiki had been watching the fight when she had seen what had happened to her
sister. She wanted to go be with her sister, but she felt that Akane need some
time alone. Kasumi would most likely be able to save the appearance of Akane's
hair.
But she was still a little angry towards the two boys that had cause all of this
even if it was by accident. She could get a little revenge on Ranma by setting him
up with a really tough robattle. But she could figure out what she could do to get
a little vengeance against Ryoga. She would have to figure out what she could do.
Later that night...
Akane looked at herself in the mirror. She was still getting use to the shorter
haircut that Kasumi had given her. Her hair did look kind of nice short. Ranma had even commented that it looked a little cute. Too bad that he missed up and
insulted her soon after that. But she could appreciate his trying to be nice.
She did, however, enjoy the chewing out that Nabiki had give him. She was
really angry over the possible harm that could have befallen her. That had gotten
Daddy upset at Ranma and cause Ranma to meet the famous Tendo Demon head technique.
That look of shocked on Ranma's face was almost worth the cutting of her hair.
Almost.
But then Nabiki had started on lecturing her about her safety.
"You should have gotten out of the way of that fight. You just aren't ready to
fight in Ranma's or Ryoga's league yet. Or you should have at least gotten Scout
out to keep an eye out for your safety." Nabiki had told her, trying to her how
dangerous the fighting might get.
But all it did was make Akane feel that her sister didn't consider her a martial artist. The entire fight had made her feel that her martial artist skill weren't as good as the two boys who had been fighting. It made her feel inferior. A feeling she hated.
Then there was the battle between the medabots that had occurred during the second fight. They had been fighting without their medafighters giving them instructions. It was like they knew what their medafighters would have told them. It seemed to
show their skills as medafighters. And if their was anything that Akane valued as much as her martial arts skills it was her robattling skills.
It was then that she had made up her mind. She hadn't been fighting with Scout
during her training because she didn't feel that she needed to. But now...
She would work on increasing her robattling and martial arts skills by using her
medabot to help train her. She would then be able to meet Ranma on his own turf.
She was thinking all of this when she heard something outside...
