Ikki, Metabee, Mr. Tenriyo, Metabee, Elisa, Blee and Brass were finally very close to their destiny. One more chamber left... Just one more left.

They ran, and ran, till they finally reached it. They heard someone clapping, then they saw him. The last one of 'The Dark Lights', the great group inside the Rubberrobos. Hotohori.

"Well, well... Well done. You came this far. You defeated Lathan, Lucy, and even Ryuuen. Although, are you sure you can defeat me?" he asked, a grin on his face. The others kept silence. Then he spoke again.

"Well, I am Saihitei, and I'll fight you as it. Not as Hotohori from the Rubberrobos. Just Saihitei. And please meet, YAMITSU!" he said, and then, running like an animal, surged a Medabot.

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised at all. A Youkai Type." Said Elisa, and Ikki just glared at her as well.

"Youkai Type?" he questioned.

"Yes, like a demon type or something like that, but this one is smart. Like a fox type or a cat type." Blee said.

"Ikki. Elisa." Said Mr. Tenriyo. "Go on and save Erika. I'll fight him alone."

"WHAT?! But that guy is too powerful." Complained Ikki.

"Hey, are you telling me I can't beat that kitten? Don't underestimate me, boy. I'm Metabee, and this guy better kiss his bot goodbye." Said Mr. Tenriyo's Metabee.

Ikki glared at Elisa. She hesitated a little, but then nodded, and Ikki did the same. Then, both went on, to finally search for Erika and Mrs. Tenriyo.

"That leave us, friend." Said Saihitei.

"Yes." Replied Ikki.

"Then... it's... agre... ed!" said a fainting voice, and then, almost passing out, Mr. Referee collapsed to the floor, and there stayed. "Meda... figh... ters... ready? Roo... ooo...ooo...ooo... battle!" he finished, and Ikki and Hotohori sweatdropped.

With Ikki...

Ikki and Elisa, along with their medabots and Brass, climbed another stairs, and at the end of it, they arrived at what seemed a dungeon. Several cells were there; most empty, but they had to be there.

"Erika!" Ikki called. He heard a small Ikki as answer. "ERIKA?!" he called again.

"Ikki!" he heard now, loud and clear. The answer seemed to come from the end of the corridor, and Ikki ran there. In the last cell, was Erika.

"Ikki! You came!" she said happily.

"And you thought I wouldn't came? Come on Erika, I would never do that." he said, winking.

"Are you okay?" asked Elisa, and Erika nodded.

"Let's take you out there. Metabee?" Ikki said, and turned to his Medabot.

"Leave it to the master here, Ikki." Said Metabee. He aimed his laser cannons to the lock of the cell and shot, then Erika was free to came out.

"Thanks Metabee." Erika said.

"Where's my mother?" asked Blee (her mother?).

"Mom?" Elisa called.

"I'm here, sweetie." They heard at their back, and everybody turned around, to the other cell. Elisa ran to the cell, and keeled in front of it, almost crying. Blee aimed her cannons at the lock too, and freed Mrs. Tenriyo, that hugged her daughter. During all this, Ikki's and Metabee's jaws dropped.

"You're... You're... You're...!" was all they could say.

"Mrs. Erika?" said Brass, a little reluctant. The woman just smiled.

"YOU'RE ERIKA!" Ikki finally blurted out, almost collapsing.

"Wow, calm down. Is it that bad?" the older Erika asked, seeming to have the same spirit as always.

"Like I'm some kind of monster." Said Erika, playfully.

"Well, you're my childhood friend!" Ikki said at least.

"Heh, I always thought you'd get married." Metabee said.

"METABEE!" Erika and Ikki yelled at the KBT medabot, blushing madly.

"Well, sorry for interrupting Mr. Ikki, but the other Mr. Ikki is fighting that man from the Rubberrobos alone." Said Brass.

"Brass' right, man. We should get going." Said Metabee.

"Erika, er... Erika and Elisa, come with me. Let's get out of here, but not before finishing the last Rubberrobo." Said Ikki, and the others nodded, and then headed back.

When they arrived there, the other Metabee was almost fully destroyed, while Yamitsu was bit damaged, but still okay. Then, the youkai type disappeared. Everyone was surprised, except the older Ikki. Metabee tried to attack the invisible medabot in vain, even if he used his Seeker Missiles. He seemed to be under some kind of illusion.

"It's it specialty. The illusion." Said the older Erika.

"But, what can we do?" asked Erika.

"I think that, if Metabee stopped trying to see Yamitsu with his eyes, and if he paid more attention to the sound of the air moving while the medabot runs, then maybe..." said Ikki, and the older one heard him, and smiled.

"You heard the boy, Metabee. Do as he says." He said.

Metabee closed his meda-eyes, and paid attention to the sound. So concerned about it now, the medabot could finally hear the other medabot's quick footsteps. He stayed like that for a few seconds, then opened his eyes suddenly.

"There! Laser cannons!" shouted Metabee to his right, and he shot the medabot right on the face.

"Now! Launch missiles! (don't know the right phrase, I am Brazilian)" he shouted, and after the smoke was gone, you could see the medabot's medal popping out and falling on the ground.

"And... the... winner is... Metabee!" said Mr. Referee, then falling asleep.

"No... No... NO!" shouted Hotohori.

"It's okay, Sai. We all lost." Said Ryuuen, arriving at the scene, and placing her hand on his shoulder. Lathan, along with Lucy and the others arrived as well.

"Oh, you all came here to save me? Thanks!" said Mrs. Erika, hugging her husband. He then took out a medal from his pocket, and gave it to her. Elisa handed her mother her medawatch that she grabbed on a table outside her cell. Erika placed her medal on her watch.

"Transport medabot!" she called, and then, Sailor Multi Brass was there. She placed her medal, and the medabot was online.

"Mrs. Erika! You're okay!" said the medabot, before hugging her medafighter.

"Yes, Brass. I'm okay."

"Ikki Tenriyo. You proved that you deserve to be the best Medafighter of Japan. We, The Dark Lights Team, having our honor as medafighters, accept that." said Hotohori, handing Ikki his hand. Ikki smiled and shook their hands.

"Good to know." He said.

"You know, before entering the Ruberrobos, we used to be a normal Team." Said Lathan.

"Yes, I remember." Said Mrs. Erika, and Ikki and Erika just glared at her.

"But wait... It's not finished yet..." said Ryuuen, but she was cut off by Koji's cellular.

"Koji speaking. Oh, hi Dr. Aki... Yes, we saved her... WHAT!? Really? Are you kidding?... Since when... WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE?" said Koji, before hanging up the phone.

"What did he said?" asked Karen.

"He said that... There's a guy in the #1 of the medafighters list..." Koji said.

"WHAT?!" everyone yelled.

"And it's not the Japan's list... It's the world's list." He continued.

"But... Why didn't he tell us before?" asked Samantha.

"He said that, since Ikki is 'Ikki', he never looked at it anymore. None of us did really... But then he saw it by accident today, and this guy was on top."

"And who is it?" asked Crystaline... err... Now, dressed back as The Teenage Vampiress, with her mask on.

"I think I know." Said Lucy. Everyone glared at her.

"You should climb those stairs... There, you'll find it." Continued Hotohori.

"But... Those stairs weren't there before." Said The Phantom... also known as Henry.

"Yes, they were. But you only didn't see it because you were concerned about that one." Said Ryuuen. She talked about some stairs at the right corner of the chamber. The one that they climbed and found Erika was just ahead of them.

Everybody nodded, and was climbing... When they remembered something.

"Hey... Anyone is going to pick Mr. Referee?" asked Mr. Ikki.

"Nah, he's Mr. Referee. He survived through 25 years and has the same face and clothes, he'll be there just as a Robattle begins." Answered Erika, the young one.

They then climbed the stairs... They were the longest ones! Then, after some minutes, they arrived at a new chamber... But, this one was different. The ceiling was made of glass, and in front of them, was a statue of a red bird. The chamber didn't look like they were in a mountain. Seemed like they were in a temple.

Then, they caught sight of a, why not say, young man, leaning against a wall. His blonde hair in waves against his skin, and he wore a red headband around his forehead. He had a cape, that was, inside red, and outside black. All his inside clothes were black. He had his eyes closed, but when he opened them, they revealed as gray ones (well, you can tell that he's TOTALLY similar to the twins Amiboshi and Suboshi, from the anime/manga Fushigi Yuugi.).

"I can't believe..." whispered Lily.

"Hello, Lily. Guys. Welcome to my chamber. I am..."
