Disclaimer: I do not own Medabots or any of the characters from the
original Japanese manga. Although I have skimmed one of the manga books!
They have big hands... Anyways, I own Foxfire, Shadow Fox and myself. Naomi
is my friend Jix and Akina is my friend Van. The Jady in this fic is
somewhat mine but is mostly really Jix's. And WindDash fully belongs to Van
"Hey! Dark Lady!" Someone yelled from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and grinned. So they had been able to make it. I had been getting worried for a minute there. The others turned around as well and seemed confused.
"Who are they?" asked Erika curiously. I glanced at her and then back to the dirty blonde and dark brunette.
" Guys, I'd like you to meet my friends. The blonde is Akina, and the brunette is Naomi," I explained. I got a few weird looks and raised eyebrows. "Well I'm not allowed to use their REAL names!"
Two girls walked up to us and they indeed were blonde and brunette. The blonde was so tall she practically loomed over me. She had a thin figure and her straight hair was shoulder length. She had freckles on her cheeks and hazel for eyes. She wore a white T-shirt with a pair of blue torn up jeans.
The brunette was a different case. She was slightly shorter than Akina but was still taller than me. (It's not fair!) Her hair was straight as well but only just below chin length. While the blonde's skin was slightly tanned and mine was quite tanned, Naomi was quite pale. Her face was clear of freckles and she had a pair of blue glasses that framed her dark brown eyes. She wore a black T-shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans. Hovering beside Naomi was a jade colored monkey. He had eerie yellow optics and green metal plates. A MKY type. A monkey to be more exact. He had large talons sprouting from his paws and feet. Behind him twitched a metal cord.
"Hi," both girls said in unison. The others gave a small and reluctant wave.
"I'm glad both of you could make it! And you even brought Jady!" I greeted happily. The two girls smiled back.
"What are they doing here?" asked Koji snottily. I glared at him.
"Same reason you're here!" I scoffed.
"So they were forced to come too?" piped up Metabee.
"Metabee!" hushed Foxfire. I smiled and turned back to my friends. They were eyeing the bulge in my pockets.
"You stole her Walkman again?" asked Naomi incredulously. Although amused at the same time.
"Yeah, my batteries are dead," I asked while laughing slightly. "Anyways, it's time we had some lunch! Let's-" Just as I was about to finish, I felt a sharp tug on my jeans. When I glanced down, Foxfire had her hand in my pocket.
"Er, Dark Lady? Can I have a word with you?" I nodded and allowed her to guide me over to the limousine.
"So, what can I do for you?" Foxfire seemed to be rubbing her arm uncomfortably.
"Well, I was wondering if you could do me a favor..." I nodded and made a hand gesture for her to continue.
"Annd, that would be...?" Foxfire let out a breath and whispered in my ear. I blinked, I nodded, and I smiled. When she stepped back I stood straight up.
"Karin? Could you come here for a second?" The red head glanced at me and sauntered over to us.
"Yes?"
"Could I borrow your cell phone for a minute? I just need to make a quick call," I asked politely. Karin smiled at me.
"Of course you can," Karin pulled out her pink cell phone and handed it to me. I smiled in thanks and flipped open the hatch. I dialed a few digits before lowering my ear to the speaker.
"Hello? Hi, it's me. Fine, thanks. I was wondering if you could meet me at Chatters. Someone wants to see you again. Yeah, him. Great, see you then." I handed the cell phone back to Karin and caught sight of something over her shoulder.
"Rokusho!" I cried out in glee. I don't want to be biased or anything but Rokusho is my favorite Medabot!!
"Dark Lady!!" I groaned as I heard my name called from Ikki. I walked over to them and saw all of them eyeing Jady strangely.
"What?" Ikki glanced from me to Jady, and then back to me.
"Why doesn't that thing speak English?!"
"Ni nee ni ni NI!" Jady squeaked proudly. I glanced over to Naomi before grinning evilly.
"He's too intelligent to speak such a simple language such as English!" I explained in a mighty god-like voice. Koji only rolled his eyes.
"Or his social interaction chip is malfunctioning," Naomi growled at him. I'm serious! She literally GROWLED at him! Koji stepped back with a freaked out look.
"What the?! Why is that Medabum here!?" Metabee pointed out a silverish \ white Medabot standing in the shade of the trees. He wore a white silk cloak that hid most of his tin pet. He had almond-shaped cherry red optics and two purple horns sprouted from his head. When a breeze came, it lifted the cloak and revealed a well built blue and white tin pet built for speed. On his right arm his Chanbara sword glistened in the noon sun.
I glared at Metabee who was standing behind me. I raised my hand and...
"Ow!" cried out Metabee as he held his head in pain. His emerald green optics glared up at me. "What gives!?" He retorted.
"YOU, dissing MY favorite Medabot!" I shot back. I looked back over to Rokusho. "Will you be joining us?" The KWG shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid not. I'm not here for social-" Rokusho was cut off by Foxfire running up to him. She whispered something into his audio receivers that made his optics go wide and his silver cheeks go a slight red. Metabee glared at Rokusho jealously. Shadow Fox's ears perked up slightly and glared at him as well.
"On second thought, I will join you," answered Rokusho. I smiled and tried to ignore thoughts of what Foxfire might've convinced Rokusho to stay. That was when I noticed something. He was missing.
"Hey, Akina?" Akina glanced over to me and smiled.
"Yeah?"
"Where's Dash?" I asked. Everyone stopped to look at us.
"Who's Dash?" Erika asked curiously.
"My Medabot," Akina answered and then continued. "He's-" Akina was cut off (that's happening a lot these days) by speeding dark figure that caused a gust of wind to blow.
~~~____~~~~
"What the?" I mouthed through the wind. When the air had settled a small figure was now standing beside Akina. Pretty much everyone except for the authors gaped.
Most of his armor what a silverish white black. An RBT type by the looks of it. He had blood red almond slits for optics. Down his forehead and ending at his cheeks were lines similar to Foxfire's. He had large metal, white ears with black hairs at the end. His shoulder blades first started at white then turned black. Then silverish blue blades sprouted from the ends. He was well built and had a thick line of blue through the white coming down his chest. On his legs the upper part there were two silvery blue blade and on the lower part of his legs as well. He also had a long white tail with the end dipped in black.
My eyes went wide when I gazed at him.
"I, I've never seen a Medabot like that!" Akina smiled.
"Well, like Dark Lady, I create my own Medabots. Although, he's the only one," I didn't want to know how good he was in a Robattle. I already knew. With those blades and that tin pet, it was obvious he was a tough competitor. He looked even meaner than Shadow Fox!
I glanced down at Shadow Fox and he seemed to be glaring at Dash. He wasn't the only one. Rokusho was doing the same. And even Metabee looked angry! But when I saw Foxfire, I was surprised to see her blushing red in the cheeks.
"What's up with the Medabots?" I asked curiously. Metabee answered for me.
"Ikki, this guy has got some evil in him. It's like when I see him, I get a chill down my tin pet!" I gave him a funny look but Rokusho and Shadow Fox nodded.
"Yeah, having a Dark Orb medal does that sometimes," explained Tanya while scratching the back of her head. She looked down and so did we. Dash seemed to be... staring at Foxfire.
"Hi Dash," she put in cheerfully. Dash, to all of our surprise, bowed low to Foxfire. That made her cheeks go even redder.
"Hello, Foxfire," he greeted. No emotion really. Although there was a hint of slyness in his tone. As if daring Metabee to try something. I could see why. Metabee looked even more jealous than when Rokusho had first came!
"Well, anyways!" Dark lady broke the silence. "Let's get in there and chow down! I'm starving!" We all sweat dropped and followed her to the red and green neon letters that read 'Tex- Mex, Pizza, Pasta and Salads'.
We sauntered along the stone patio floor and red brick walls outside that lead into the stained glass door. Inside was amazing. The walls were white with beautiful Greek paintings that portrayed the ocean being overlooked by a white cemented patio with a wooden bench and a gate hanging open. The floor was made of dirty brown painted tiles and built into the ceiling to the floor were apple green tiled poles. The were red poles as well with the same design only with little chalkboards nailed into them with meals of the day and such written on them. On a slightly higher level of the floor metal railing outlined the higher level. There were many tables in certain sections with Greek designed tablecloths. There were also black twelve inch TVs on either side of the room.
Most of us gazed in awe. Others smiled at the painting. One wasn't very impressed.
"Oh, please. I know a much better restaurant called 'De Jour De La Chat'," bragged Koji. Akina, Naomi, and Dark Lady gave him a very funny look.
"The today cat?" mocked Naomi.
"That maybe but I bet you've never seen a GREEK restaurant like this!" Shot back Dark Lady. Koji fell silent. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Don't diss my favorite restaurant!"
"Oh! Hi, how can I help you?" A teenage girl only a few years older than us greeted happily as she popped up behind the counter. "Do you have a reservation?" She asked, noticing our size in-group.
"Yes, we're under the name 'Dark Lady'," explained Dark Lady. Most of us rolled our eyes. Should have known.
"Oh! Hey Dark Lady. Just follow me," she walked out of the safety of the kiosk and led us to the right side of the room. There were already two large table pushed together with the same kind of Greek tablecloth.
"Okay, Medabots on one side, Humans on the other. Naomi, you get to go in between since we're still trying to figure out what you are," Dark Lady laughed at the face Naomi gave her. I found Karin sitting on the booth side and I raced to sit beside her. Unfortunately, Koji had gone for the other side. I glared at him and he did the same. Karin was MINE! I looked away and instead, turned my attention to the Medabot side.
I groaned as I saw Metabee arguing with Rokusho and Dash. And I could see why. Both of them had sat beside Foxfire, leaving no place for Metabee to sit beside her. Foxfire herself was turning into a tomato.
Dark Lady noticed Metabee causing a scene as well and grumbled something under her breath. She stood up from her seat and grabbed Metabee by the arm. Metabee had fallen silent as he was dragged outside. His emerald green optics looked like they were pleading for me to do something! Dark Lady pulled him outside onto the marble patio. I wasn't the only one who had seen. The others had their eyes wide and had fallen silent.
A couple minutes later Dark Lady walked back in, looking a good deal happier. I blinked when I couldn't see Metabee behind her. When Dark Lady sat back at the table I decided to ask.
"Dark Lady? Where's Metabee?" I asked. Her different colored blue eyes glanced up at me and then back at the menu.
"Outside," she answered calmly. I drew back my head in confusion.
"Why's he out there?"
"Waiting," she answered again. I gave her an incredulous look.
"Who the heck is he waiting for?" I think I might've just used up the last of her patience.
"Santa Claus! Okay?! Jeez, just wait a couple of minutes and he'll be inside!" I sat back down and there was another silence.
~~~____~~~~
I could tell I was turning into a tomato by now, but that didn't stop me from worrying. Poor Metabee. I also had to wonder why Dark Lady had made him go outside.
My mauve optics shifted from one side, where Dash sat beside me. Then shifted to the other side, where Rokusho sat. I sighed before glancing at the menu. The hot oil sounded good right about now.
My attention was turned away from the menu where I heard the jingling of the door open. In walked Metabee with his cheeks glistening red. But he wasn't the only one walking in. Or maybe he was. She was kinda hovering really.
Behind Metabee was a Mermaid type Medabot. And a female for that matter. She had silver and pink armor plates with sparkling pink optics. She had two golden antennae coming from her head and long golden metal used for hair that trailed along her back. Her fin was pink as well.
Then it hit me, so THAT was why Metabee had been outside. Dark lady had told him to wait for Oceana! I sighed in relief but Rokusho was confused.
"Who is the mermaid?" he whispered. I remembered that Rokusho had never met Oceana before.
"That's Oceana. We met her a couple weeks ago," I explained. The KWG nodded in acknowledgement. Oceana and Metabee sat across from us and Oceana glanced over to me.
"Hi Foxfire!" She greeted happily. I mentally smiled. Oceana was just so nice sometimes. Although she was a little naïve sometimes.
"Hi Oceana," I answered. Oceana forwarded her gaze over to Rokusho.
"Oh, hello. I don't think we've met. My name's Oceana," Oceana introduced herself. Rokusho bowed his head.
"Hello, my name is Rokusho,"
"...Ow," I looked up and held in a laugh. It seemed Rokusho had (I hope) accidentally hit Metabee with one of his horns.
"Oh, sorry," apologized Rokusho while turning a slight red in the cheeks.
"Hey! Dark Lady!" Someone yelled from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and grinned. So they had been able to make it. I had been getting worried for a minute there. The others turned around as well and seemed confused.
"Who are they?" asked Erika curiously. I glanced at her and then back to the dirty blonde and dark brunette.
