Me: Another chapter uploaded, and it's kind of long.

N-Blade: Long it may be, but not your longest chapter.

Me: I know. But still it's long.

Link: Get on with the disclaimer already.......

Disclaimer: I don't own Medabots. Any borrowed characters belong to their respected owners. I do own some stuff, but I'm to lazy to list them.

Me: Now lets move onto the reviews!

Mad-Man: *raises an eyebrow* What the hell? O......k.......this is freakin' weird. First he was evil, now a good guy? Or somewhat of a good guy? But if he wants to fight, why not? Radiant Blue Flare! *he sends out a massive blue heat beam and tons of massive blue fireballs at the Spirit Knight* Mwuahahahaha! Take that wannabe!

Warren: Hmm, surprised. No reviews from HFH.

Me: She's probably just swamped from school, or one vacation somewhere. *shrugs*

Warren: Possible. *shrugs*

Link: Onto the latest addition of this fic. *ducks under a rock* Hey! You said anyone could say that!

Me: Oh yeah......hehe! ^_^;;

Others: *mumbles something about weird authors*

Chapter 12: The Encounter/Clash of Steel

Cloud was amazed that the Medabot he was looking at could have sneaked up on him! Cloud would have probably never of heard him if he didn't give himself away like that. In fact, he was slightly impressed the skills the KWG-type had. But what concerned him was the reason why Rokusho even bothered to follow him.

"What's your name, Medabot?" asked Cloud with a slight growl.

"My name is of no importance." replied the white bot.

"Well prepare to fear my name! The name Cloud!" roared Cloud.

He threw off his cloak and there he stood in all his glory. From head to toe, Cloud was covered in dark gray armor. He wore a pair of gray steel-toed boots, and had spiked gauntlets. Spikes were on his knee guards and he had two long spikes on his shoulders. His chest was covered by a breastplate and had a large lightning bolt in the center. He also had on a pair of chain mail sleeves. On his head was a Roman-styled helm that let his dull gray eyes shine. Wearing a black belt holding a scabbard and having a shield strapped to his back completed Cloud's look.

Cloud, Type: Vile Knight

Medafighter: Unknown

Specialty: Unknown

Rokusho was taken aback by Cloud's appearance. He wondered how Cloud managed to even conceal himself under that cloak. For Cloud was taller than the average bot standing at nearly six feet tall. But he wouldn't let that dwarf his courage. Even though he didn't like fighting, he knew that someone would get hurt if he didn't stop this madman.

"Fine! Prepare yourself!" challenged Rokusho throwing off his cloak. He ran at Cloud at blinding speeds his pronged sword ready to strike. He jumped into the air and prepared to deliver a powerful vertical slash.

"Chanbara Sword!" he roared sending his sword down to strike Cloud's head. And there was a loud CLANG! Somehow Cloud managed to draw his crystal-like sword and blocked Rokusho's attack.

"You are fast Drifter, but not fast enough!" yelled Cloud throwing Rokusho away and pulling off his kite shield with a cloud shooting a lightning bolt and strapping it to his left arm.

"Lets see how you fair against this! Hammer Fist!" roared Rokusho running at Cloud with his fist outstretched, and he sent it flying, but it just clanged against Cloud's shield. However, he knew this would happen and ran on top of the shield and delivered a double heeled drop-kick to Cloud's face. Cloud stumbled back rubbing his chin.

Cloud: 20% Damage to Head.

Cloud was shocked when he saw the damage caused by the wanderer. He thought his internal damage sensor going haywire, but he knew it was accurate.

"Nice move Drifter, you should be proud of yourself. Not many bots can score that much damage on me with a single hit. That is, if they even hit me." commented Cloud a grin on his voice.

"I don't need complements from a vile soul as yours. Now feel the wrath of my Chanbara Sword!" spat Rokusho sending an arch swing across Cloud's chest. Cloud just stood strong as if he wasn't fazed from the attack, but he knew he was.

Cloud: 15% Damage to Body. 8% Damage to Left Arm. 9% Damage to Right Arm. 22% Damage to Head.

"Well it's time to stop playing around Drifter. Lets see how you like this! Thunder Blast!" he roared and the bolt of lightning on his chest glowed before shooting multiple bolts of electricity at Rokusho. Rokusho caught by surprised had no time to dodge or mount any form of defense against the attack.

Rokusho: 20......30........35........45% Damage to All Parts.

The electricity had damaged Rokusho and it could seen by how the electricity kept crackling through his body.

"You may think you have the upper hand, but think again!" yelled Rokusho as the left over electricity channeled to his sword, he then slashed Cloud with an electrified horizontal slash.

Cloud: 25% Damage to All Parts.

"GAH!" shrieked Cloud as he fell to the ground. When Cloud fell his body shrank down in height. Cloud was now only as tall as Rokusho, well taller, he reached the tips of Rokusho's horns.

"An illusion!" roared Rokusho in anger.

"You shall pay for that! 5 Star Strike!" yelled Rokusho slashing Cloud with his sword in a star pattern. (A/N: Rokusho saw N-Blade use this against Metabee, and started practicing it.) His sword, however just slashed Cloud's shield leaving a star engraved into it.

"N-Blade's trick won't save you, Drifter." laughed Cloud swinging at Rokusho forcing him back.

"Take this! Hammer Fist!" yelled Rokusho running back at Cloud, evading a sword swing, ducked under Cloud's shield and delivered a powerful punch. The blow nearly knocked Cloud off the roof they were fighting on. The punched not only damaged Cloud, but caused him to drop his shield and sword leaving him defenseless or so it seemed.

Cloud: 39% Damage to Body. 25% Damage to All Other Parts.

"Surrender! Without your sword and shield you are defenseless. So fighting would be pointless." advised Rokusho his sword poised to strike again. Cloud just started to snicker.

"I'm not called 'Cloud' without proper reason, Drifter. Now feel the power of air! Aerial Cannon!" boomed Cloud. He sent a pressurized blast of wind at Rokusho, but he just stepped out of the way.

"Not imp-" Rokusho started, but was cut off by Cloud's sudden yell.

"ROCKET PUNCH!" suddenly yelled Cloud. His spiked gauntlets flew at Rokusho showing they were being propelled by rocket boosters, and now Cloud's hands were now less protected. Rokusho barely dodged the sudden attack, but when he thought he was safe he was punched from behind the head with the rocket powered gloves.

Rokusho: 75% Damage to Head. 45% Damage to All Other Parts.

"ARGH!" howled Rokusho in pain. He was on the floor, but not for long. The gloves suddenly picked up Rokusho and flew sky high.

"You're going to like this." called out Cloud a smirk on his voice. "FIST EXPLOSION!" he roared. At those two words the gloves blew up in a powerful blast taking Rokusho with them.

Rokusho: 100% Damage to All Parts. Function Ceased.

Those were the last things he saw before his body shut down and he fell back towards the floor. His body badly damaged. His sword was in pieces, his fist cracked, and his horns nearly destroyed. Holes and pieces of shrapnel were in his chest. He landed face first. Cloud was surprised. For Rokusho's medal hatch was opened, but his medal was still in there.

"What the? His medal's still in there....how?" mused Cloud. He gathered his fallen items and was about to pry out Rokusho's medal when his walkie-talkie suddenly beeped. Cloud jumped sky high from the shock before calming down and answering it.

"Yes, Ruby?" asked Cloud in a calm voice.

"Where have you been?! What's taking you so long to get back?! Our first units lost!" screamed Ruby's voice. Cloud winced at the sound.

"Ruby calm down. I got into a fight. And before you say anything it was not Merrick, Ninja-Blade, whatever you want to call him. It was some lone drifter of a Medabot." replied Cloud.

"A lone Medabot? But how can that keep you? I mean you did use your powers right?" asked Ruby concerned at how a normal Medabot kept her best ally this busy.

"I didn't use them much. I only did two attacks, but the second was a diversion. I won this on pure skill." answered Cloud pulling his cloak back over him.

"That explains it. But it is nice to hear that you aren't trying to rely solely on your powers. To be with equal footing with N-Blade, we must fight more through Medabot skill instead of our powers." chimed Ruby's voice.

"What should I do with him? He was pretty skilled for a drifter. But I blew away his body with my last attack." asked Cloud.

"Hmm....if his body is nearly destroyed, just take his medal and bring it here. We'll use him as a pawn in our game." answered Ruby.

"But his medal won't eject. And now that I think about it, if I try and pry the medal loose, I might end up damaging it." said an annoyed Cloud.

"Just take his whole body then. And try and get here quickly. I got a new candidate to wear down N-Blade." said Ruby and the line cut off signaling that Ruby turned off her walkie-talkie.

"Now I have to drag a body with me......" groaned Cloud. He was about to pick up the remains of Rokusho when he was shot by a laser in the back. When he turned he saw that it was none other than Arcbeetle, fully restored.

"Leave the medal stealing the professionals!" cackled the Phantom Renegade after picking up Rokusho's body and disappearing in a blink of an eye along with Arcbeetle. Cloud just gawked at what happened and started cursing. Ruby would have his head after he came back.

Unknown Location

"WHAT?!" shrieked Ruby when she heard what happened.

"Yeah I know. The Phantom and his bot caught me off guard. And they took Drifter." said Cloud for the tenth time.

"Well I guess we'll just have to live with it." sighed Ruby. "Well, I got our newest candidates. One person and his bot this time. They have a move that came from our own dimension, but slightly different. If we give his bot some more power he should be more than a challenge for N-Blade." laughed Ruby.

"Got a picture of the kid and his bot?" asked Cloud curiously. Ruby handed him a picture.

"Hey I know these two. They were the only ones that managed to hit Arcbeetle when we controlled him. Well that was before those kids ganged up on him." replied Cloud surprised.

"I know. That's why I chose them. We'll have them strike tomorrow." chimed Ruby a grin on her voice.

The Next Day

It was a new day for Matt, well it was. He has been up since 8 AM trying to repair the Pulse Blade air, but with no luck. He spent all day yesterday, after doing some chores and taking a shower, to try and fix it, but had no luck then either. However, he did fix Link's shield arm. But how the dagger destroyed most of the vital circuits was being a real pain. Matt was beginning to wonder if his cousin was the one that upgraded Kantaroth, if she was she would be able to help.

"Matt, maybe you should give it a rest. You spent nearly all day yesterday and all the way up to now trying to fix that arm! For goodness sake I never seen anyone so determined to try and fix something before." suddenly came the voice of N-Blade to Matt's ears. Matt looked at his watch, it was 12 PM. He sighed in defeat.

"I guess you're right. Maybe I'll find out who made that arm for Kantaroth in the first place. When I think I got it fixed again more problems occur. Maybe I shouldn't try fixing it, but just start from scratch with it." groaned Matt.

"Maybe you should. But you may find a way to fix it. One never knows when inspiration hits." replied N-Blade trying to boost his Medafighter's confidence.

"You're right, N-Blade. But if it was Alexis who helped make this thing, I'll have her help me fix it." said Matt with a lighter heart.

"You know, if you weren't so warped into fixing that thing you would have noticed Alexis offered to help fix that arm with you three times already before leaving for the HopMart with Ikki and Erika. She said they were going to introduce her to a friend of theirs you and her didn't meet yet." replied N-Blade sweatdropping.

"She offered to help fix it?! Why didn't you tell me sooner!" yelled Matt in frustration.

"I did......." said N-Blade with slanted eyes.

"Oh....." laughed Matt nervously with multiple sweatdrops on the back of his head.

"Well lets go. Alexis left only thirty minutes ago! If we're lucky we can Robattle this kid!" yelled an excited N-Blade.

"Yeah. We'll need every part we can get, when we face off with Cloud and Ruby." chimed in Matt. "That's why I was trying to repair the Pulse Blade. It's a good weapon, since its a sword, revolver, disc shooter, and a particle blaster."

"Makes sense. But not to be rude, we need to jet if we want to Robattle that kid and take his parts." laughed N-Blade running out the door.

"Hey! Wait for me!" called out Matt trying to put on his shoes fast enough to catch up with his Medabot.

At the 24 HopMart

The Meda-crew was all gathered around the counter listening to Alexis' conversation with Ikki's and Erika's friend, Koji Karakuchi. Koji was wearing his normal clothes, yellow shirt, brown shorts, and black Medawatch. [ Wait are those his normal clothes? I know the shirt, but not to sure of the shorts. ] For once, Koji didn't seem to be acting like he was better than everyone else. Maybe it was because he respected Alexis' knowledge on Medabots and her ability to upgrade Medabots.

"Hmm, so you were the one that upgraded Krosserdog like that? I'm impressed." commented Koji, while looking at the improved Krosserdog.

"Yup! I am. I'm also the one that upgraded Kantaroth over there. And I built Link over there, well with the help of my cousin anyway." said Alexis grinning from ear to ear.

"Your cousin must know a lot about Medabots like you. I heard you say he can fix just about anything." commented Koji.

"Oh, Matt knows more than I do, and he can fix pretty much anything, but sometimes needs help." admitted Alexis.

"Speak of the devil." commented Henry as he saw Matt walk in.

"Hmm?" asked a confused Matt.

"Oh, nothing." said Henry grinning like the crazy man he is. [ I felt like writing that for some reason. He's not really that crazy in this fic. ]

"Ahh, so you must be the one I heard so much about. I'm Koji Karakuchi." greeted Koji extending his hand towards Matt. Matt thinking this was somewhat odd, but shook Koji's hand anyway.

"I guess you already know my name, but I'll repeat it anyway. I'm Matt and he's Ninja-Blade, N-Blade for short." greeted Matt back.

When Matt and Koji shook hands, Ruby's voiced echoed in Koji's mind. Attack him now!

Koji would have winced from the screech of the voice echoing in his head, but he didn't.

"Hey Matt, how about we Robattle? I heard you beat Ikki, so want to test your luck against me?" suddenly asked Koji.

"Sure, I was going to ask you for a Robattle myself." agreed Matt.

"You think you can beat him Koji? I mean he beat us, and we can beat you." commented Ikki and Metabee.

"Quiet commoner! I gotten some modifications for Sumilidon. So we will win or at least give him a run for his money." declared Koji.

"Well, fight outside. My shop is meant for selling Medabots, not having them Robattle in it." warned Henry.

"We know......" said the others bored, while stepping outside to watch the Robattle. Henry left as well to watch. (A/N: It's a wonder that he doesn't get robbed.)

"Transport Sumilidon!" yelled Koji hitting the button on his Medawatch.

In a flash of blue light there stood the new and improved Sumilidon. He was now taller, the height of Koji. He now had two Flexor Swords. The claws were longer and more wicked in shape. With Matt's keen eye, he could tell both swords were retractable meaning Sumilidon could have either two Flexor Swords, or two Hammer Fists. Body design was sleeker making it more aerodynamic. He still had the same shoulder guards and skirt thing for torso protection. His legs were longer and sleeker as well for more speed. His boot-like feet were replaced by ones that had clawed toes. His head was pretty much the same except for one thing. The weird brown things were replaced with long gray fangs, like a true saber-tooth. All his coloring was the same, except for one thing. When his medal was inserted, his green visor lit up with a slight red tint.

Special Attack: Shadow Sword

"Then it's agreed!" yelled Mr. Referee running out of the 24 HopMart carrying a box. Everyone stared at him.

"Um.....do you work at the HopMart or something Mr. Referee?" asked Samantha.

"Yes, I do! I work part-time to earn a little extra money, but that's besides the point." answered Mr. Referee.

"I officially declare this a submission Robattle between Ninja-Blade and Sumilidon. You two know the rules well enough by now, so no point in repeating them. Medafighters ready?"

"Yip yip!" answered Matt, while Koji just nodded.

"Go Koji and Sumilidon!" cheered Samantha and Peppercat.

"Err.....thanks for the support." sweatdropped Koji laughing nervously.

"Kick some butt Koji." said Warren. Koji and Sumilidon got similar supporting words from Rintaro, Henry, Spike, Sloan, and their Medabots.

"Looks like everyone is against us....." commented Matt sweatdropping slightly.

"Well they are the underdogs here, but I sense something about Sumilidon. I feel a familiar attack aura around him. It's like he has the Shadow Blade......" commented N-Blade.

"Hey Mr. Referee! Aren't you ever going to get this Robattle started?" asked Metabee impatiently, wanting to see what moves Sumilidon has now. Erika had her camcorder while Brass had a camera ready to take pictures.

"Oh, sorry. I was drinking some tea. Now lets get this started. Medabots Robattle!" yelled Mr. Referee slicing the air with his hand.

"Sumilidon charge at him and strike!" ordered Koji.

Sumilidon nodded and charged at N-Blade. Sumilidon was fast before, but this speed was ridiculous to N-Blade! He was nearly his equal or greater in the means of speed! Sumilidon attacked with a series of sword swipes. N-Blade barely had time to parry the sword blows with his own sword. Sumilidon kept forcing N-Blade back with his constant sword swipes. N-Blade looked for an opening, but found none.

"N-Blade! Leg swipe now!" ordered Matt.

N-Blade nodded and ducked under and ran underneath Sumilidon's legs. He the crouched down and performed a leg swipe knocking the taller bot down to the floor. N-Blade backflipped into the air and shot a storm of black shuriken at the fallen bot, while still in the air.

Sumilidon: 15% Damage to All Parts.

"Methinks I should really boost the power of those shuriken....." said Matt sweatdropping.

"There power is fine. It's just that everyone is getting their bots upgraded, since you came to town." commented Ikki.

"Sumilidon! Attack pattern Delta-3!" ordered Koji.

Sumilidon jumped from the ground high into the air and landed with his catlike grace. His claws retracted into his arms and he slammed both his Hammer Fists into the ground causing a mini-earthquake. N-Blade lost his balance and fell. He would have been run through if he didn't roll out of the way in time. N-Blade saw that Sumilidon's claws were stuck in the ground and delivered a powerful round house to his midsection freeing him from his earthy prison.

Sumilidon: 25% Damage to Body. 15% Damage to All Other Parts.

"Grr......Sumilidon Fang Rockets!" ordered Koji.

Sumilidon's 'fangs' went to an upright position and fired at N-Blade. N-Blade laughed at the poor excuse of a weapon and tried slashing them out of the sky, but his sword surprisingly just knocked them away.

"Well that was odd....." commented N-Blade running at Sumilidon sword ready to strike, but was grabbed. He turned his head and saw the fang rockets were turning around.

"Oh crud......." cursed N-Blade as he was thrown into the fang-shaped rockets. After the explosion, N-Blade's body was surprisingly undamaged. At least according to Matt's Medawatch. But there was a lot of smoke, so Matt couldn't see for himself.

"What the hell just happened?" asked Matt to no one in particular.

"Ever heard of a diversion Matty-boy?" asked Koji with a smirk on his face.

"Oh crap! N-Blade get out of there!" yelled Matt. But it was two late, for N-Blade's scream of pain was heard, just before his body was thrown out of the smoke.

Ninja-Blade: 60% Damage to Body.

"How did his chest survive that? He's not that armored! Only the most heavily armored Medabots were able to survive against Sumilidon's new strength!" ranted Koji.

"Hey, N-Blade had many armor modifications ever since I got him. And I thought this was good combo for him since its lightweight yet strong like hell, at least it was in the U.S. Here people keep making powerhouse upgrades and such that it won't matter how much I upgrade N-Blade's armor." commented Matt.

"Now lets match him with speed N-Blade! Speed Clone!"

N-Blade ran circles around Sumilidon making multiple images of him. Heck he even moved in different patterns that it looked like there were twenty of him.

"Wow.....he's making me dizzy......" slurred the STG-type.

"Match his speed Sumilidon! Try and find the real one by slashing every which way!" advised Koji.

Sumilidon matched N-Blade's impressive speed and it seemed that there were multiple clones of him now as well. He finally found the real one and struck, but his claw sword was blocked. Now it seemed like twenty N-Blades and Sumilidons were fighting. To some of the people not used to the impressive display of speed, only saw a blur, and every now and then the shape of the Medabots.

Ninja-Blade was getting fed up with his block and counter game. He fired white shuriken at Sumilidon's joints making him fall to the floor thanks to the gunk gumming up his gyros. N-Blade didn't stop there, he kept on firing until Sumilidon was stuck to the floor covered from head-to-toe with gunk.

"Grr...." growled Koji. He knew he had to reveal another move to free Sumilidon.

"Sumilidon! Unsheathe the Shadow Sword!" roared Koji.

"Shadow Sword!" bellowed Sumilidon his body coated with a black aura as it went to his claws and spread out into energy beams slicing up the gunk like it was paper.

"Now I get why you sensed he had something similar to the Shadow Blade! He has a move close to it!" yelled Matt.

"Time to even the playing field then......" said N-Blade as his katana glowed black with the shadow energy that filled it.

"Lets see what's better Koji. The Shadow Blade, or the Shadow Sword." declared Matt.

"So him Sumilidon! Strike with the Shadow Sword!" ordered Koji.

"Right!" yelled the Saber-Tooth Tiger-type as he ran at speeds that baffled N-Blade.

"FEEL MY BLADE!" roared N-Blade as he lashed out with his sword. His attack however was just caught in the X defense pattern Sumilidon's shadow swords were at. [ Remember, his swords are made of shadow energy now, and the Shadow Blade won't be able to cut through that easily. ]

"Grr! FLASH KICK!" suddenly yelled N-Blade kicked the STG-type with a lightning boosted kick sending him flying high.

Sumilidon: 40% Damage to All Parts.

"Destroy his sword! SCISSOR!" ordered Koji in a demonic voice.

"SCISSOR!" roared Sumilidon in a primal voice. He brought his swords and made them into a pair of makeshift scissors. He then cut through N-Blade's shadow coated katana like it was nothing!

"What the heck?! Damn it!" cursed N-Blade.

"Let's see how you like Flaming Barrage!"

N-Blade's body was surrounded by balls of fire. Flying at Sumilidon were small fireballs, but as more and more flew at him they got larger and larger until they were the size of buses. Sumilidon just sliced the air with his swords cutting through the fireballs.

Matt had to admit it. He was impressed. No one ever gave him this much trouble, except maybe when he was ganged up on. He had to find a way around Sumilidon's swords. He then devised a plan!

"N-Blade! I got a plan!" he whispered his plan to N-Blade.

"Alright, but this better work! LETS SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS! TREMOR!" roared N-Blade making the whole place shake with a powerful earthquake. It nearly knocked everyone off their feet, except for Mr. Referee, Matt, Koji, and Henry.

The move didn't do was he wanted. He wanted Sumilidon to be knocked off his feet, but his clawed toes were snug in the ground helping him keep his balance. However, Matt knew this would happen and already planned ahead.

"Shadow Daggers Thrust!" suddenly came N-Blade's voice as he threw his daggers at Sumilidon's feet. The daggers embed into them and into the ground itself, pinning Sumilidon to where he was.

Sumilidon: 100% Damage to Legs. Function Ceased. Warning! Tin-Pet damaged! 40% Damage to All Other Parts.

"That won't be the only thing that will be ceasing function!" declared N-Blade as he opened his fist and clenched it. With that action, the two daggers exploded with shadow energy engulfing Sumilidon in it.

Sumilidon: 97% Damage to All Remaining Parts. Shut Down Imminent.

"Sumilidon......" called out Koji is voice barely above a whisper.

"Koji.....don't worry...I'll defeat him......." declared the damaged STG-type struggling to get up.

"Don't give up faith. He shall be defeated......" said the now upright Sumilidon. "Fang Rockets!" he yelled shooting rocket after rocket shaped like a fang at N-Blade. He fired until he had no more and fell to the ground his hands supporting his weight and he was panting hard.

N-Blade just looked at the rockets and laughed. "That trick won't save you. I know these are harmless." said the over confident NON-type. When the rockets hit him he was thrown sky high before crashing down.

Ninja-Blade: 96% Damage to All Parts.

"O....k.......so they weren't duds......." declared the Ninja of Night-type, coughing slightly.

Matt saw that both of the bots were damaged badly. However, he knew N-Blade would pull through, for he had faith in him. Koji on the other hand was losing his faith. Even under the evil mind control spell he still cared about what happened to his Medabot.

"Sumilidon! I have faith in you! Pull through!" cried Koji his body engulfed in a black aura.

"Koji......I feel your strength!" roared Sumilidon as he somehow got back to his feet glowing black as well.

"Want to have a power fight, eh? Then lets........" challenged N-Blade as his body flickered with a dim black aura.

"You shall fall under our power Ninja! Prepare for the power of Shadow Helix!" bellowed Sumilidon throwing his fists out sending out a powerful black corkscrew shaped blast at N-Blade.

"A powerful move that I haven't seen in ages. But that won't be enough." stated N-Blade unfazed by the spiraling blast coming at him. "SHADOW DESTROYER!" roared N-Blade sending his massive black beam at the corkscrew one.

The two seemed to battle for dominance, but N-Blade could tell Sumilidon was straining under the use of Shadow Helix. He just had to wait him out and have his power supply drain, then he could cut his own attack. After another fifteen seconds Sumilidon collapsed drained of power. Shadow Destroyer sailed towards him, but dissipated before it touched him. N-Blade fired one black shuriken at the drained Sumilidon taking him out by the mini-explosion.

Sumilidon: 100% Damage to All Parts. Function Ceased.

"Function ceased! The winners are Matt and Ninja-Blade!" declared Mr. Referee before running back into the 24 HopMart to do his other job.

N-Blade waited for the black shadows to leave the two, and just like clockwork they left. If he could grin he would have, for he knew Ruby and Cloud were watching. He knew he was a thorn in their side and he planned on staying there, until they were defeated.

"Koji, nice Robattle. These battles are keep me and N-Blade on our toes. Now give me your legs and I'll be leaving to repair my bot and the legs you'll give me." said Matt.

"Yeah, it was good. And I was right. Sumilidon and I gave you a run for your money." declared Koji happily. He transported Sumilidon's legs to Matt.

"Well I got to jet. I need to fix N-Blade up, these legs, and the Pulse Blade arm I won yesterday." said Matt.

"I'll go with ya cuz! Since you ignored my earlier attempts to help ya, I'm helping ya now!" chimed in Alexis.

"Thanks Alexis. Bye guys!" called out Matt waving before leaving with N-Blade.

"Bye everyone! Meet you guys tomorrow!" yelled Alexis before running slightly to catch up to her cousin, with Link by her side.

"Bye guys!" yelled everyone waving to their two friends and their Medabots.

Everyone went back into the 24 HopMart and watched Erika's recording of the Robattle. Along with some of the other Robattles she recorded of Matt and N-Blade. However, somewhere far off in Japan were the rubber freaks known as the Rubberobo Gang planning a way to defeat N-Blade and take his medal.

To Be Continued.......

Rokusho was taken out of action for now, but he'll be back. How can the Phantom Renegade move so quickly while carrying a Medabot? Will Matt and Alexis repair the parts as good as new? Who will be N-Blade's next opponent infected by Cloud and Ruby? Also, what are the Rubberobos planning? Can Matt and his newly made friends deal with both the Robos and the duo known as Cloud and Ruby? Find out in the next chapter of Ninja-Wind!

A/N: It's spring break for me now, so I should be able to get out another chapter or two this week. Maybe three if I'm very, very lucky and creative. Now click on the button and review.
