CHAPTER 7: BROKEN PROMISE

-What are we going to do now?- Brass said.

-I think we should make them kiss their bots good-bye...-Metabee said.

-Another robattle?- Mr. Referee said- okay, ready? ...robattle!!!-

A new robattle started. Without their medafighters, the medabots made lots of mistakes...until...

-That's enough- Metabee said- let's make a team...- and he directed them.

-Give up, or we'll make our Sabotinas to shoot your medafighters- the Phantom robbos said. This made Metabee and the other metabots very angry.

-What? You can't do that!- Metabee said.

-Yes- they told him.

But then...

-Okay, you asked for it, you'll get it- Metabee said.

Metabee started to glow...a green glow...

-Wow- Orkamar said.

-The medaforce!- Brass said.

-Hope this teaches you not to kidnap any of my friends- Metabee said- MEDAFORCE!!!-

A huge explosion took place. The Sabotinas' medals were ejected.

-Function ceased. And the winners are Metabee, Orkamar and Brass!!!!- and he disappeared. The Phantom robbos were very surprised, but told them to go to the first floor.

The three medabots approached to Ikki and Belmont.

-They are both fast asleep- Brass said, watching them closely- what are we going to do now?-

-I guess we should wait until they wake up- Orkamar said- It won't take more than two minutes, I hope-.

Orkamar was right. They woke up pretty soon.

-Are you two okay?- Metabee asked.

-Yeah- Ikki replied, yawning. Belmont nodded in agreement.

-What are we going to do now?- Ikki asked.

-Last task, Sleeping Beauty- Metabee answered, making Ikki to go red- First floor. Let's go-.

They went downstair. Belmont's heart was beating faster and harder. 'One more task and Erika will be safe again' he thought. He was very mistaken...

*************************************************************************

They arrived to the first floor (where the entrance was located). They didn't see anything different, just lots of Phantom robbos (Abby: I think 'just' is not a proper word for this...em...situation), and their medabots (Abby: okay, 'just' is defenetly not the proper word for this) and two nomal-dressed guys about 21 or 22 years old. One of them was the gray-suit- dressed one we already know (Abby: the one who took Erika's medawatch), and the other one was wearing jeans and a blue shirt. He looked familiar to Ikki and Metabee, but they couldn't say who was he.

The Phantom robbos let the others (Karin, Koji and Rintaro) enter the room.

-The last task is a simple robattle- said the guy that wore the blue shirt- If you win you'll have your friend back. If you loose, she'll stay here unless you give up the rare medal. It's up to you-.

As he spoke, he pushed a button on the wall. The wooden doors at the back part of the building opened themselves. Then they saw Erika. She was fast asleep, tied against a column.

Belmont's heart was beating so hard it hurt. Ikki was obviously feeling quite the same, as he looked very pale.

-Don't give up, dude- Metabee said- Come on, we can still save her, Ikki!-

-Come on, Belmont- Orkamar said- this is the last robattle-.

The two boys smiled, as their doubts went away.

-Yeah, let's do it!- Ikki said.

-Okay- added the guy of the ugly suit- You two shall robattle against me and my medabot: Mega-Emperor!!- Ikki look surprised, but Belmont's face didn't change a bit.

-I do not fear you- he said- I'm ready-.

-So it's agreeeeeeeeed...- you know who told that...- Medabots, robattle!!!- .

-Prepare to kiss your bot good bye- Metabee said.

The robattle began. Mega-Emperor started to shoot. It was very difficult to attack him, but also to avoid being hit by its laser.

-Come on, Metabee, go!!- Ikki said.

-Orkamar, Brass, attack him!!-

No use. Mega-Emperor avoided all attacks.

-Shoot his eyes!- a voice behind Belmont was heard. It was the guy in the blue shirt. 'It's weird' Belmont thought 'the bad guy is helping us???'

-Hahahahahaha- the medafighter laughed- you'll never win, give up!!-

-You wish- Belmont said- Orkamar, use your shockwave, and try to shoot his eyes!!-.

-Got it!- Orkamar did what he was told to. Mega-Emperor's medal was ejected.

-Function ceased- Mr. Referee said- and the winners are Metabee, Orkamar and Brass (once again, why Metabee first?)...

-Congratulations, you have fullfilled the four tasks- they guy in blue said- Now- he added, getting close to Erika- a promise is a promise- he untied her and carried her in arms (as she was still fast asleep) left her at Belmont's side and stood back.

-Wait, who are you?- Belmont asked, but didn't wait for the answer, as Erika woke up.

-Belmont, Ikki, you did it!!- she said smiling, then she turned to Belmont- I missed you so much- she hugged him.

-I missed you too- he replied- specially to watch how your eyes sparkle (this made Erika's face to go red)- he handed her medawatch- this belongs to you-.

-Thanks- she smiled, and turned to the guy in blue, stearing at him in amazement- Mark? What on earth are you doing here?-

-Long story- he answered.

-Let's go home- Belmont said- it's very late, and I think your brother will be very upset-.

-Not so fast- a figure in the dark said- I'll have that rare medal or you're not getting out of here-.

-Yeah, right- Metabee said- says who?-.

In response, a medabot (Phoenix) flew towards them, grabbed Erika and took her to the figure, holding her in the air with his tail.

-Says me- the figure answered.

-Let me go!!- Erika said, squirming- I've had enough-.

-Who are you?- Ikki asked furiously.

-Oh, you know me...Ikki Tenryo- the figure answered.

-You know us- another figure said came out and stood next to the first one.

They stepped forward.

-No!!- Ikki said- It can't be true...-

Everyone steared at them in amazement...
