**School**

            Every one was sitting in their seats, waiting for class to begin.  The Teacher walked into the room and Scott followed. He stood in front of the room and everyone scrambled to find their seats. Once everyone was seated, the Teacher walked up to the front of the room and turned to face the class.

Teacher: Good morning everyone. We have a new student I'd like you all to meet. His name is Scott Trenni and he's from America.

Class: Hi Scott.

Scott: Hi…

Teacher: Very well then. You may take your seat now, Mr. Trenni. Now please open your books to page 457.

            Scott took a seat next to Colin and he and the rest of the class took out their books. Scott really didn't know why he had to come to school. He already went to school. It may have been a few thousand years ago but it still counted, right?

            Just as the Teacher was about to say something, the door slid open and Mr. Principal called the Teacher into the hallway. The Teacher left the room and everyone waited. The teacher returned a moment later and a young girl followed. She was wearing jeans, a yellow t-shirt with the words "Pain is Temporary" in red lettering on the front, and had long black hair. She looked around the room and shrugged. Scott seemed very interested in her. Colin noticed and smirked.

Teacher: It appears we have yet another new student. This is Melissa Worth. She just moved here. Ms. Worth, there's an open seat over there by Erika. As I was saying…

**After School**

            Colin, Scott, and Shocker were on their way back home. They were talking about the homework they had been given when Colin remembered how interested Scott seemed to be in the new girl earlier in the day.

Colin: What did you think of the new girl?

Scott: Uhh…*blush* she's okay.

Colin: Really? You seemed quite interested in her…and judging by the fact that you're blushing, I think you have a crush on her.

Scott: Uhh…I'm going to get some air…

            Scott threw down a smoke bomb and become Storm Shadow. He jumped into the air and disappeared. Shocker looked at Colin and then sighed. Then he and his medafighter continued walking.

**Random Rooftop**

            Storm Shadow was standing on the edge of the building watching the streets below.  He was about to jump off the building when he heard someone behind him. He turned around and raised an eyebrow. Standing a few feet away was a girl with long black hair. She was wearing black boots, black pants, a black tank top, and black wristbands. She also had a black facemask on.

SS: And you are…

???: They call me Rogue and I'm after the price that's on your head.

SS: Bounty Hunter…great…

            Rogue charged forward and attacked. Storm Shadow dodged the first few blows with ease but had to block a power punch from Rogue. Storm Shadow threw Rogue but she flipped in mid air and landed on her feet.

            She ran forward and attacked again. This time her fists were moving so fast that they were nothing but blurs. Storm Shadow caught the first few punched but one soon connected with his face.

SS: You're better than I thought…this may get interesting.

            The fight continued with each fighter launching several punches and kicks. Soon both fighters jumped back, trying to catch their breaths. Rogue drew a strange looking gun and its barrel began to glow. It began firing laser blasts, and Storm Shadow jumped out of the way. He rolled to the side and threw a few knives at Rogue. The blaster was knocked out of her hand and she drew a sword. The masked warrior assumed a fighting stance and waited.

SS: So it's a sword fight now? Very well.

            Storm Shadow drew his swords and attacked. After a storm of slashes and swipes, both fighters jumped away. Suddenly, Rogue's sword broke. She threw the broken weapon away and looked up.

Rogue: This isn't over, Storm Shadow. I'll be back for your blood.

SS: Any time.

            Rouge turned and ran. Storm Shadow watched her leave and then put his swords away.

Dark Strike: Have fun?

SS: ???

            Dark Strike and Thunder Blade jumped down from above and walked over to Storm Shadow.

Thunder Blade: We saw her following you after you took off so we decided to tag along.

SS: I can take care of myself. I don't need your help to deal with that kind of thing.

DS: I know. We just wanted to watch.

**Later…down at the Hop Mart**

            Ikki, Erika, Colin, and Scott were sitting at the counter drinking milkshakes. Their medabots, including the fake one, were playing a game of cards at a nearby table.

Ikki: Colin, how come you didn't tell us you had a brother before?

Colin: You never asked.

Erika: Why didn't you arrive at the same time, Scott?

Scott: I missed my flight…

            Suddenly everyone looked up at the TV. There was an instant news bulletin.

TV: There has been another Medabot related crime. A store that sells high quality medaparts was just robbed by medabots. Witnesses said that there were no medafighters present and the medabots were acting very strangely.

Ikki: Another robbery.

Erika: That's the third this week.

Metabee: Those bots are giving medabots a bad name.

Brass: Someone should stop them.

Colin: Medabots don't normally just act on their own. Someone's got to be controlling them.

Erika: But who? The Phantom Renegade?

Ikki: Na… this is a smart plan.

Henry and Colin: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

            Ikki turned around to see Henry and Colin glaring at him angrily. Scott, concerned at what they might do to Ikki, quickly changed the subject.

Scott: Maybe the RubberRobo Gang is behind it.

Metabee: What about those spider things we fought the other day? The ninja said they could control medabots.

Shocker: The Possessors? That might be the case.

Colin: Hey…they sell medaparts here, right?

Henry: Yeah…

Colin: Then they might strike here next!

Erika: Yeah! We can wait here tonight and then capture the crooks when they show up. Then I'll be the first one to report their capture!

            Colin smirked and looked over at Scott. He had a similar idea…they were going to wait there that night but they wouldn't be Scott, Colin, and Shocker…
