Chapter 2- Patience and games.

[I don't own Medabots and the characters and such. I should write a whole chapter that says "I don't own Medabots and the characters and such" o.o]

The group walked back outside and Rintaro was standing with Karin, eating an ice cream cone. [AN: That kid really likes his ice cream, eh?]

Koji and Ikki gritted their teeth in envy as the short, hyperactive kid who was 4 months older than them, stood happily by Karin's side and ate his ice cream. Kanaroth stood there beside his medafighter, looking bored.

"Hey dudes! What's up?" asked Rintaro.

"Ryan! How nice to see you again!" Said Karin as she smiled.

"Yea, It's been a while, little sister." Replied Ryan.

"How's Aunt Lilly doing?" asked Karin.

"Ah, she's fine.she sounds a bit crazy but that's the way she's always been." Laughed Ryan.

"Dude! Who's that?!" Said Rintaro as he poked Nikira repeatedly.

Ryan sweat dropped nervously. "Err.I wouldn't poke at her like that."

"Rintaro this is Ryan, and that's his medabot Nikira." Explained Ikki.

Rintaro stopped poking the strange medabot who was obviously getting pissed off. Nikira's ears twitched at a sound of robattling across town.

".Robattle.medafighters.bored." said Nikira as she swung her tail slowly over the sidewalk.

"Yo Dudes! What's with her speech problem! Even Kantaroth says more words than that!" exclaimed Rintaro as he looked at Nikira's face.

If it weren't for her faceplate covering her mouth, they would've seen Nikira grit her teeth together from Rintaro's last statement. She growled and clenched her hands into fists.

"Err.Rintaro, I would watch what you say.she doesn't seem too happy at the moment." said Ikki nervously as he watched Nikira.

".Rude.brat.punishment." hissed Nikira and she glared at Rintaro, as he was finishing off his ice cream.

"It's a long story, Rintaro.we'll tell you later.but for now watch what you say around her," said Koji. "We don't want a fight starting right here."

"Aww.what a cute medabot! What's her name? Nikira? That's a cute name!" said Karin as she kneeled down to Nikira's level and scratched behind her ears.

The rest of them sweat dropped and watched Karin pet the short-tempered medabot. Ryan expected for Nikira to go ballistic for someone touching her, but Nikira didn't seem to mind. If she was a cat, she would purr. But she didn't.

"Is it just me, or does it look like Nikira is enjoying the petting?" said Medabee, hoping to break the silence.

"It sure looks that way, Medabee," answered Sumilidon.

".Polite.human.friend?" asked Nikira as she looked at her medafighter.

"Don't worry, Nikira. She's a friend." Said Ryan as he folded his arms behind his head.

Ironically enough, the cloudy skies opened up and it started to rain heavily.

Nikira looked up at the rain as it hit her and ran down the side of her face. ".Rain.wet.inside?"

"Come on guys, my house it the closest. I guess we'll hang out there until it stops raining." Said Ikki as he started running to his house.

The rest of them followed Ikki and approached his house in about 5 minutes. They all went inside and Ikki, Karin, Koji, Ryan and Rintaro took their shoes off at the door so the floor didn't get soaked. Mrs. Tenryuo was there to greet them.

"Well, hello there kids. You look soaked. I'll get you all some towels then I'll make some hot chocolate, okay?" she said as she went to get towels.

Everyone walked into the living room all except Nikira, who stood at the front door unsure of what to do.

Rintaro looked back at Nikira. "Yo dudette! You can come inside you know!"

".Different.unknown.access denied," said Nikira as she put on hand to her faceplate in confusion.

Suddenly, a loud crack of thunder and the flash of lightning made the power flicker.

"Dude! Like, Nikira's gone!" yelled Rintaro as he ran back to the others.

"What?" asked Ryan.

"She was just like standing there and the thunder must of scared her or something!" said Rintaro.

The couch that Sumilidon and Medabee were sitting on suddenly shifted and Nikira's green eyes peeked out from underneath the couch. Sumilidon looked down under the couch and Nikira crawled backwards. He appeared upside down to her and she didn't really know what to make out of it. Her tail was out of the back of the couch and Mrs. Tenryuo stepped on it as she walked into the room with some towels.

".Tail.pressure.PAIN!" yelled Nikira as she zoomed out from under the couch and smashed into Sumilidon's face.

"Oh! I'm sorry dear! I didn't see you there!" said Mrs. Tenryuo as she apologized.

Sumilidon fell off the couch and rubbed his face. "Oww.today ishn't my day."

Nikira crawled away from Sumilidon and under a low table. She curled her tail underneath the table so no one could step on it.

"This is getting ridiculous." sighed Ikki. "Medabee, get her out of under there."

Medabee hopped off the couch and went on his hands and knees. He looked under the table and poked at Nikira.

"You can come out now.the boogieman ain't gonna get you," snickered Medabee.

".freak.defective." growled Nikira as she extended her claws and scratched Medabee's face.

"OW!! What the hell?!" said Medabee as he shot straight up into the air.

Nikira curled up into a ball and closed her eyes while Medabee was jumping up and down, holding his face.

Ryan sighed and shook his head. "It would just be best to leave her under there. She's not going to come out until we leave."

Mrs. Tenryuo brought them all hot chocolate and looked under the table.

"Now what is she doing under there? Why isn't she having fun with the rest of you kids?" she asked.

"Be careful, Mrs. T! That bitch scratched my face and it hurts like hell!" yelled Medabee.

"Mom, just leave her alone.not point in bothering her, it'll just get her mad.and Medabee! What did I tell you about swearing like that!" Cut in Ikki.

Nikira opened her eyes, crawled out from under the table and sat by the window, watching the rain.

"She should at least sit with the rest of you kids." Said Mrs. Tenryuo thoughtfully. "I know!"

"What do you mean you know?" asked Ikki. "M-mom? Where are you going? Mom!"

Ikki's mother had already went into the kitchen. They all sat down after they dried off and they said nothing. Ikki went into the kitchen after his mother.

"Mom, just what are you planning to do?" asked Ikki worriedly.

"Oh nothing.I'm just preparing a treat for our lonely guest." She answered as she took some cookies out.

Ikki sweat dropped and slapped his forehead. "But mom, Medabots don't eat."

"I know, but maybe a little treat will make her feel better. Even is she doesn't eat it." Replied Mrs. Tenryuo.

"Mom, you aren't listening. If you try to give her something to eat, it'll make her feel worse knowing that she can't eat it." Explained Ikki as he tried to get his mother to understand the situation.

"You're right." she said as she put the cookies on a plate. "Okay, then the cookies are for you kids, and someone will just have to give her a hug to cheer her up!"

Ikki fell down anime style. "M-mom! Do you even know what you are saying?! She has the shortest temper that I've ever seen and I doubt that she'll appreciate anyone touching her!"

"Well, you kids better think of something or I will. Now bring these to your little friends and try to cheer her up, okay?" she said as she handed Ikki the plate of cookies.

Ikki sighed, walked back into the living room and set the cookies on the table.

"Listen guys, we have to come up with something to cheer Nikira up or my mother with think of something." said Ikki as he fell back onto the couch and looked up at the ceiling.

"Dude! Kantaroth! Say something to her, will ya?" said Rintaro as he jumped up and down.

Kantaroth sweat dropped and pointed a finger at his chest. "Me? What do you want me to say?"

"Anything! Say something, dude!" said Rintaro as he pushed Kantaroth to Nikira. "Make her come over here and say something!"

Kantaroth stood behind Nikira and she saw his reflection on the window. Kantaroth was thinking of things to say when Nikira spoke up.

".Rude.staring.away." said Nikira as she whipped her tail at Kantaroth, sending him flying back into the hyperactive Rintaro.

"Well that didn't go well." said Medabee as he sweat dropped. "Let me try.Hey! Nikira! I bet that I could beat you in a video game with one arm tied behind my back!"

Nikira's ears twitched at the statement but she kept looking out the window.

"Hell, I could beat you blind folded as well!" taunted Medabee.

Nikira growled. ".challenge?.game.accept."

Ryan laughed a bit and looked at Medabee. "I hope you know what you are getting yourself into. She can be pretty mean when it comes to video games."

"No way, what do you think I do when I'm not robattling? It'll be a piece of cake." Said Medabee as he plugged two controllers in.

"Heh, don't say that I didn't warn you." said Ryan as he crossed his arms.

"This should be good." said Ikki as he watched them start playing. "I've got to see this."

About an hour later, the score was Nikira: 20, Medabee: 1.

"No way!" yelled Medabee as he threw the controller down.

"She spends as much time robattling as she does playing video games." Said Ryan as he looked out the window.

"Then if she's that good playing games, then her robattle skills must be pretty good." Said Koji.

Outside, it stopped raining and the skies cleared up.

"Finally, it has stopped raining! Now we can go outside!" exclaimed Karin.

"We'll go outside alright! And we'll robattle to see who's best at everything!" said Medabee as he crossed his arms angrily.

".challenge.boring.depart." said Nikira as she stood up slowly.

"What did she say?" asked Ikki as he put his shoes back on.

"She says that Medabee won't be much of a challenge and it'll be a waste of time using her robattling skills on an amateur. And she wants to go home too." Said Ryan as he stood up and stretched.

"WHAT?!" snapped Medabee as he jumped up. "You're telling me that I wouldn't even inflict damage on her!? Oh that it.now I'm really angry!" (AN: common line of his o.o)

They all put their shoes back on and walked outside. Koji saw the screws gang come walking up the streets towards them.

"Oh no.this'll just make things a whole lot worse." sighed Koji.

[Boring ol' chapter 2 is finished. I fear that I will be stuck with another writer's block sometime soon. Please review and tell me what you think of it. O.o]
