(A/N: Ok, really sorry for the wait, but FF.net wouldn't let me upload this chapter. And I know, I've been trying to upload this chapter everyday since 9 PM Monday..... X.x;)
Me: Another chapters is up and loaded!
N-Blade: And it just took ya practically forever! .o;
Me: It wasn't forever, it just took awhile..... b.b;
Link: Yeah, yeah, school and so on...... e.e;
Me: Yup, that's right. Plus, Fanfiction.net wouldn't let me upload this chapter. School is a pain, but at least it's almost out for the summer for me. Just this next week to go.
Fic Me: Think ya can last that long? o.o?¿?
Me: Not a chance...... -.-;;
Everyone: *falls over* X.x;
Me: Disclaimer time folks.
Disclaimer: I don't own Medabots. Borrowed characters belong all to their respected owners. Like always, I own some stuff, but just too lazy to list them.
Freya: It's time for the reviews! *gives thumbs ups to the readers*
N-Blade: Did you change her personality or something? O.o;
Me: No....she's just showing a slightly weirder side..... b.b;
Freya: What's that suppose to mean?! *charges at me*
Me: Uh-oh.... o.o; *hits a button and the replies to the reviews so up, with that done, I run for the hills*
Freya: GET BACK HERE! *gives chase after me*
Xatu, Pokemon Fan: Thanks for the review! Here's the next chapter.
Rumorgirl411: The last chapter was funny? ô.o Hmm....I guess it was in a sense. Didn't actually mean to make it funny, just kinda happened I guess. Who knew me brain was capable of writing humor on accident? X.x; Any who, thanks for the review. Oh, and your guess of it being X-Men is incorrect. The correct answer will be shown one of these days, maybe at the end of this chapter if I'm not evil.
HFH: Yup, yup! Lots of action did the last chapter have! ^_^ With every giant chapter I write, I get slightly better methinks. I thought I tortured SMX and Arcbeetle enough, so I decided to let them not lose that day. As for Dragonite, I guess I felt sorry for decapitating him. But, I might do it again! XD Thanks for the review!
Mad-Man: Great.....one of my strongest attacks and it just gets sucked up into nothingness! And I can't stop the end from coming. What a guy to do? *remembers what the Spirit Knight said* So, if I vow to replace one of you heralds I can stop the end? *sees them nod* What's the catch? *is actually considering to replace one of them to stop the end from coming* It's either this, or risk using something I never wanted to use ever again.....
Phantom Kensai: I got talent? Woo hoo! ^_^ Hmm, yeah you're right, I do tend to focus too much on damage stats and commands as well. I'll try to lower the use of them when I have battle scenes. The next super Medabot I use will be Phantom Ganon? There is always a chance. Since only 5 of the 8 Medabots the Robos were building have been released. The other three you'll have to wait and see who they will be. Thanks for the review.
Dragonite: *watches Matt running like mad from Freya who is shooting her shuriken like crazy at him* Hmm.....her he doesn't hit with a golf club, but me he does! ;;
N-Blade: Quit your belly aching, it's time to get on with this latest installment.
Chapter 19: The Alliance
Matt and the others were starring in shock at what had just happened. Some unknown entity had just taken out the badly damaged N-Strike, and took down the others before they could even mount up any kind of counter attack! And what really took the cake is that the entity took Cloud and Ruby's bodies and medals under a minute.
"Ok....what the heck was that?" questioned Matt.
He didn't get an answer, since the others had no clue what it was either. Sighing, Matt went and picked up N-Blade's medal and inserted it into his Medawatch.
"Matt, what hit me?" asked N-Blade's voice.
"I have no idea....." answered Matt. "You ain't going to like this either Blade, whatever the thing that hit you was, took both Cloud and Ruby's medals and bodies!"
"WHAT?!"
"Just like I said. It took their bodies and medals."
"That is just great......" sarcastically grumbled N-Blade.
"Lets report in with the others, and tell them what happened." suggested Isis.
"That's a good idea." commented Matt reaching for his walkie-talkie, but he forgot it was blasted earlier in the day. "Oh brother......"
"Here, borrow mine." suddenly said Spike throwing his walkie-talkie to Matt who almost ended up dropping it.
"Hehe, thanks." sweatdropped Matt at his near fumble. He cleared his throat and called the others. "Hey guys, respond."
The others who pretty much forgotten about their walkie-talkies jumped up in fright when they suddenly heard Matt's voice. From each team, one person responded back to Matt. From Team 1 it was SMX, and from Team 2 it was Alexis.
"This is SMX, what's the matter Matt?" replied SMX's voice.
"Cuz, what's up?" came Alexis' voice.
"Well, the thing we fought and beat up Ruby and Cloud. The problem is that some unknown entity, possibly a Medabot, took their bodies and medals." informed Matt.
"WHAT?!" yelled all the members on both teams.
"Just like a said, an unknown entity, which is possibly a Medabot, took Ruby and Cloud's medals and bodies." repeated Matt.
"Well we got jumped by the Rubberobos here." came the voice of Ikki.
"We got attacked over here too." said Warren's voice.
"Anyone's Medabot in need of a giant repair job?" asked Matt.
"Metabee, Kantaroth, and Rokusho over here. They were crushed badly, Brass and Link aren't too badly damaged." replied Erika.
"No one is too damaged here." responded Koji.
"Hmm, think we better call it a day. Not much we can do now, since us over here have no clue where the thing took Ruby and Cloud. Plus, we have Medabots to repair and regroup to gather our forces. Let's meet up at the Check Point."
"Ok, we'll be there as soon as we can, dude!" yelled Rintaro's voice.
"The same goes for us." said Koji.
"Good, we'll be leaving now. Matt out."
Matt handed Spike back his walkie-talkie and made his way for the hole the black entity made. He decided to examine it slightly for any sign of what he and his friends are dealing with.
"Matt, what are you doing?" questioned Samantha.
"Trying to see what kind of blast blew this thing apart. We know that the black entity may be a Medabot, so by examining the wall, I maybe able to determine what other weapons our mystery opponent has." simply said Matt as if it was no big thing.
"How can you tell what kind of weapon even blew the wall apart? You don't have any weird science stuff to help you determine it. So how is it possible?" asked a now curious Spike.
"It's very simple, Spike. You just needs to use your eyes and brains. See here, judging by the size of the opening, along with how it broke apart, you can already guess it was a type of explosive and not a form of laser or particle weapon. Now, since I tested general explosives while upgrading Medabots, I have an eye for these kinds of things. Here, I can tell it wasn't a type of missile due to the lack of rubble and how even the opening is. This was the work of a mine!" cackled Matt in a mad scientist kind of way.
"And how do you know that? How do we know you aren't just making this up?" demanded Isis.
"Easy, with this." started Matt as he picked up the remains of a latching mechanism. "This is what holds a mine onto walls and such. Well, technically a part of what holds a mine onto a wall. Whatever this thing is, it's packing unusual hardware. Now, we better get going to the Check Point, so hurry up."
He hit a button on his Medawatch and the Ninja-Strike body disappeared in a flash of blue. Then something came to him when he did that. The Robos were using similar technology to what he uses to teleport a damaged body home, but their's seemed to be on more of an advanced level. He made a mental note to check his files the first second he got home. The others left following Matt except for Isis and Freya since they were already gone.
The gang had met up with each other at the check point. Everyone was there except for SMX, Isis, and Freya. They discussed what happened and then caught the bus for home.
"So, where is SMX and Rokusho's body?" ask Matt.
"SMX said he would get Rokusho's body repaired, and left with it." answered Ikki. "So, where are Isis and Freya?"
"They left the way only a ninja could, in a blink of an eye." declared Matt.
"Wonder why she left. Guess she'll keep in touch if we need her help, or if she finds anything." said Ikki. Matt only nodded in agreement.
"So when can we get our Medabots repaired, dude?"
"Come by tomorrow, cause when I get back home, I have something else to do."
"Ok, no sweat." agreed Rintaro. The rest of the bus ride was pretty quiet after that.
Matt and the gang got off the bus when their stop had came up. Everyone said their good-byes and headed to their homes. The two cousins walked home without saying a word, neither did N-Blade or Link speak as well.
When the two finally made it home, they said their hellos to their parents(Aunt and Uncle in Alexis' case). Matt made his way to the inside entrance to the garage to check his files, Alexis went upstairs to take a shower, the EHT-type however didn't know what to do so he went into the living room to watch TV.
Matt was checking his files in the dusty filing cabinet he uses. When he got to the file he was looking for, he noticed it was out of place, and its contents in disarray.
"Damn it!"
"What's up Matt?" asked N-Blade's voice.
"My 'Medabot Body Teleportation Without a Medal' file was out of place, and the papers inside are out of order too." informed the boy.
"So?"
"So? So?!" ranted the boy. "I'll tell you that I believe the Robos copied and improved on its technology. Don't you find it odd that what remained of Caballero just vanished like that? Sure, I could make your body do that, but not if you were just pieces of shrapnel!"
"So how did they get into your house and get into the garage from their, or just plainly enter the garage without our knowing?" demanded N-Blade.
"I don't know."
Matt tried thinking of a time where no one would have been home. The only time that no one was in the house, that he could think of, was the time he and N-Blade got attacked for the first time by Ruby and Cloud's mind slaves. Even then, it was only for half an hour, forty-five minutes tops. Matt decided to check his other files to see if anything else was out of place or if within the files were in disarray.
Elsewhere in Japan, in an unknown location were the bodies of Ruby and Cloud. Said bodies were in what seemed to be stasis tubes(A/N: Think tubes like the ones the Robos kept Metabee's body in) that were filled with green fluid. The fluid seemed to be slowly repairing their bodies, but the odd thing was that their medal hatches were open. In the place of a medal was what seemed to be a plug that went out the tube to a machine with medal readers.
A short man whose features were hidden in the darkness of the room, not even the dim light from the fluid was enough to light his features. He inserted the two medals into the medal readers of the machine. The two Medabots became operational, and looked at the unknown man.
"You'll regret taking our bodies! Aerial Cannon!" roared Cloud. He tried moving his hands, but they wouldn't move. So he just tried firing his attack as his hands were, but for some reason he couldn't no matter how much he tried. Seeing this, Ruby tried setting her hand ablaze, but couldn't even do that.
"What did you do to our powers?!" demanded Ruby.
"Nothing, I just hypothesized that without your medals really being in your bodies, you couldn't access your powers. My hypothesis seems to be correct since your display of lack of powers worked." answered the man in a very familiar voice.
"Who are you?" asked Cloud wondering why he still couldn't move.
"My name? They call me Dr. Meda-Evil!" cackled the man.
"Looks like we're in the presence of a mad man....." muttered Ruby.
"I heard that!" roared Meda-Evil. He pressed a big red button on the machine and Ruby was shocked. He grinned sadistically as he saw the Medabot contort in pain. He removed his finger from the button and Ruby stopped contorting in pain.
"What do you want with us?" panted Ruby.
"I want your help, I wish for you two and I to join forces to crush that little ninja Medabot, known as Ninja-Blade!" laughed the mad scientist.
"Then we both have a common goal. We too wish to defeat him, but failed alone. We know that you tried, but failed as well. Possibly together, we can win." concluded Cloud.
"Good it's agreed then. You two shall aid us in crushing that Medabot, and help us take his medal." grinned Meda-Evil.
"You know, the second we are free from these prisons, we could attack you." reasoned Ruby.
"Do it, and you won't get out of this place alive. The second you attack or kill me, your medals and bodies will explode due to fail-safe devices, so it is best not to even try." concluded Meda-Evil.
Damn. thought both the evil Medabots.
"Fine, we agree to aid you in your goal of crushing N-Blade." said Ruby.
"Good. Now it will be awhile for your bodies to be fully repaired. Those brats did a real number on them."
"How long?" asked Cloud.
"Estimated time of total restoration is 26 hours for Ruby, and only 7 hours for you, Cloud."
"Curse N-Blade and his wretched powers that did this to my body." spat Ruby. "Here, is a question. Who was the one that got our bodies? Even without bodies, we could sense what was going on. So, clarify this little question, as a request before we fully work together."
"Well technically we won't fully work together until both of you are fully repaired. And for you Ruby that will be until over a day from now. But to show I'm not all evil, I'll tell you who retrieved your bodies and medals. He's a new Medabot we designed, doesn't have a real name yet, but we are thinking of calling him Nightshade." He gestured to a shadowed figure of a Medabot behind him veiled in the darkness. The only thing visible was his red visor.
"Hmm, good name. Can't wait to get a good look at him and see what he can do." commented Ruby.
"You will, when you are fully repaired." grinned Meda-Evil. Nightshade only grunted in agreement.
In the giant building known as Medabot Corp., a lone scientist was in a restricted area to most people. The room was full of tubes filled with green fluid holding medals. The scientist was an old man, who wore a white lab coat, blue shirt, brown pants, bald slightly, white hair on the sides of head, and wore giant black sunglasses. He seemed to be alone, until the Phantom Renegade appeared.
"Dr. Aki, according to Matt; Ruby and Cloud's bodies and medals were stolen by a black Medabot. We need to find a way to get this under control."
"I know Phantom....." sighed Dr. Aki. "I thought we had enough problems with the Rare medals and the Medaforce, but it seems that there is more. My suspicions are that the Robos took them, but who knows what they plan to do with them?"
"Only time will tell Doctor, only time will tell....."
To Be Continued....
What does Nightshade really look like? What does Meda-Evil plan on doing when he, Ruby, and Cloud defeat N-Blade? Will they even defeat N-Blade? Did the Robos really steal Matt's teleportation technology? Or did he just leave it like that himself? If they did, did the Robos steal anything else? What will Dr. Aki and the Phantom Renegade do about the situation? Find out in the next chapter of Ninja-Wind!
A/N: Sorry for this taking so long, but I'll try and get the chapters out faster since school is almost out! Ok, so lets see, since only Rumor has been guessing over and over about Peppercat's upgraded body, I'll tell the answer now. I based Peppercat's new body from the character Katt, in Breath of Fire II. Well, I got to jet, see ya in the next chapter!
