Medabots

Storm Shadow

Chapter 19 By, Spectral

Note: I do not own Medabots or its characters; however, Colin/ Dark Strike/Storm Shadow and Shocker/Thunder Blade are mine

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Before we begin today, I have some notes:

1: I've received complaints that people are confusing Colin and Scott so I'll provide some points of information…Colin is Shocker's Medafighter, has blue eyes and messy hair. He also becomes Dark Strike with a special power suit he got from a scientist friend of his back in America. Scott is Thunder Blade's Medafighter (they may be the same medabot but I'll fix that later), has green, sometimes lightning filled, eyes and spiky hair. He becomes Storm Shadow because he was a powerful ninja warrior from another time that got trapped in The Storm Fury Ruby by a witch like woman who's army of darkness he destroyed.

2: In case some people were wondering, when Colin and Scott were separated, Colin's Medawatch was duplicated so Scott has one too.

3: I'm going to work on patching up some of the plot holes in this chapter and the next…I'm also going to add a bit of an evil twist to my original plans. So don't expect Rogue to appear again any time soon. In fact, she may never appear again so you can forget her if you want.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Notices angry mob* Uh oh! Gotta go! *takes off running as mob chases*

**24 Hour Hop Mart**

            Ikki, Metabee, Erika, and Brass were all hiding behind the counter. Henry, who got stuck with the night shift, was flipping through a parts catalogue.

Erika: This is the perfect place to hide. When the thieves enter the store, we jump out and grab them. It'll be a great story, "Reporter captures Medapart Thieves!"

Ikki: Who cares? We're just here to robattle these thieves.

Metabee: I'll give 'em a Metabee boppin'!

Henry: This store is open 24 hours so you don't have to hide behind the counter…

            A tone sounded as the door opened. Everyone (except Henry) jumped out from behind the counter, giving poor Colin, who had just walked into the store, a heart attack. He fell to the floor with a scared expression on his face and Shocker just sighed.

Shocker: Not again…

Henry: Is he going to be okay?

Shocker: In a minute…

            Shocker was rubbing his claws together and building up a charge. Henry and the others backed up when they saw what was going to happen.

Shocker: Clear.

            The medabot acted as a defibulator and shocked Colin back into mobility. The charged and smoking boy rose to his feet. He shook a few times and was back to normal.

Colin: Thanks Shocker.

Shocker: No problem.

Colin: Any luck with the thieves?

Erika: No, but we'll wait here all night if we have to.

Henry: Don't you have school in the morning?

            Before anyone could reply, six medabots walked into the store. They all had glowing red 'eyes' and were without medafighters.

Erika: It's them!

Metabee: Let's get 'em!

Colin: Maybe you should fight outside…

Ikki: Yeah, I don't think Henry would want us to destroy the store.

Brass: Where is Henry?

            No one cared. They all proceeded outside. Shocker was about to follow but Colin stopped him. Scott appeared from the back of the store.

Scott: We've got work to do, Thunder Blade.

            Shocker nodded and then began to change to Thunder Blade. Something was different this time. As he transformed, Shocker was surrounded in a faint blue aura.

Thunder Blade: Ready.

Scott: Then here I go!

            Scott rose a hand to the air and a smoke bomb appeared in it. He threw the smoke bomb to the ground and in a quick flash of light and smoke, was Storm Shadow. The gray and black clad ninja took off the sunglasses that he normally wore and shattered them.

Storm Shadow: I was getting tired of those.

Colin: Okay…well…you should get going.

Ninja and Medabot: Right.

**Outside**

            Metabee stood face to face with the six medabots. They all appeared to be DOG types. Erika and Brass were busy filming and taking pictures.

Ikki: Are you ready Metabee? It's gonna be 6 vs. 1.

SS: Wrong!

            There was a flash of lightning and Storm Shadow and Thunder Blade appeared next to Ikki.

SS: It's now 6 vs. 2.

Mr. Referee: Then it's agreed!

            Mr. Referee popped out of the sewer and everyone sweat dropped.

Mr. Referee: I declare this an official team submission robattle. Metabee and Thunder Blade vs. the Mad DOGs. The rules are simple. The first team to stop the other from functioning wins. The loser must then submit one medapart to the winners for keeps. I, Mr. Referee, shall act as referee so no one gets hurt. Medafighters ready?

            Ikki and Storm Shadow nodded. If the DOG types had medafighters they would have nodded too but they didn't exist so they didn't.

Mr. Referee: Then medabots…ROBATTLE! *Does the air slice thing…*

            All six DOG types opened fire. Not just with the guns on their arms but also with red blasts of energy fired from their optics. The KBT and SNJ (Storm Ninja) type medabots dove to the sides. Metabee began shooting back with his machine guns and Thunder Blade threw a handful of shuriken shaped lightning blasts at the DOG types.

            The medabots were hit but seemed unfazed. They stepped into a V formation and began to glow red. They then fired a red blast of energy the missed their opponents but the explosion sent the bots flying to their medafighters' feet. The KBT type stood up slowly and the SNJ type soon followed. Both fighters' medawatches began to report damage.

Metabee: Left arm: 27% damage. Legs 40% damage.

Thunder Blade: Left arm: 30% damage. Right arm: 16% damage. Head: 7% damage.

Storm Shadow: Well, that was not good.

Ikki: Launch your missiles!

Metabee: Missile Launch!

            The Seeker Missiles were launched and they slammed into two of the DOG types. The explosion destroyed the two the missiles hit and two that were nearest to them. Their medals ejected and landed on the ground away from the wreaked bots. All four medals were black.

Storm Shadow: Well, we'll just have to follow that up with a lightning sword!

Thunder Blade: Oh yeah…

            The SNJ type's sword began to glow with electrical energy. It rushed forward as the two remaining DOG types continued to fire. Thunder Blade dodged one last round of fire, and when he was close enough, jabbed both his swords into one of the DOG types. He lifted them both into the air and electrocuted them until their medals ejected.

Mr. Referee: Function ceased! The winners are, Metabee and Thunder Blade!

Ikki: We won!

SS: But the real battle is just beginning…

            The black drained from all the medals and turned into six angry Possessors. Storm Shadow's kodachis (short swords…) appeared in his hands and began to glow. Three of the Possessors rushed forward and attacked.

Ikki: Metabee! Look out!

            Metabee opened fire but the Possessors were too quick. Two of them abandoned their attack but the third grabbed Metabee. It ripped open his medal hatch and was going to take control of Metabee's medal when it was hit with a round of machine gun fire. The Possessor was sent tumbling and then it exploded into tiny little pieces. Metabee closed his medal hatch and everyone looked up at the roof of the Hop Mart. Dark Strike stood atop the store, smoke rising from his wrist mounted machine guns.

Dark Strike: Bang, Bang.

            The five remaining Possessors looked at one another and then combined. They fused into a large 6-eyed centipede like creature. It growled and everyone took a step back.

Erika: What is that?

Dark Strike: A bigger target…

            Dark Strike was lining the creature up in his sights. He fired two blasts at eh creature but it seemed unfazed. It turned its attention towards the caped thief and fired a big red beam at him. Dark Strike jumped over the first beam but the second one knocked him to the street below. The creature then turned to the others. Metabee opened fire but it was ineffective. The Possessor thing fired a beam at the KBT type but it narrowly dodged. The creature then ran forward and hit Thunder Blade with one of its claws. The medabot was sent flying into the air. It landed with a crash and a glowing medal was ejected. The medal then split in two. Storm Shadow caught both the whole medal and the half of a medal. He put both the medals and his medawatch in an unseen pocket and raised both kodachi again.

SS: You'll pay for that.

            The creature rushed forward and began slashing with its claws. Storm Shadow dodged left and right and the creature made a sudden horizontal attack. All that was left after the attack was a cut in half afterimage. Storm Shadow appeared in the air behind the creature and attacked with a double kodachi strike. The Possessor creature howled in pain and counter attacked. The left side of Storm Shadow's face was cut but the ninja avoided any serious injury.

SS: This I getting annoying…

            The ninja was about to launch another attack when a beam of heat shot from nowhere and cut the Possessor thing in half. Everyone looked up once more to see Arc Beetle and Space Medafighter X.

SMX: Arc Beetle, get ready for another Prominence.

Arc Beetle: Right.

SS: No need for that. Lightning Strike!

            Storm Shadow threw his hand to the air and a bolt of lightning shot into the sky. Several more began to rain down on the Possessor creature. It exploded into several wisps of smoke, leaving only one Possessor alive. It looked around nervously and then was suddenly blow to bits. Everyone looked back over at Dark Strike. His gun was smoking again.

DS: Stupid bugs…

Ikki: Well at least we stopped the thieves.

Erika: Yeah. And I got it all on tape!

Brass: Where'd they all go?

Ikki: Huh?

            Once again, Storm Shadow, Thunder Blade's body, Dark Strike, Space Medafighter X, and Arc Beetle had disappeared without a trace.

Erika: How do they do that?

Metabee: I don't know but I'm gonna have 'em teach me.

            With that, they returned to the empty Hop Mart.

**Medabots HQ, Dr. Aki's office.**

            Dr. Aki was reading a report on his new project when Storm Shadow and Dark Strike jumped down from the ceiling.

SS: We've got a problem, Doctor.

Dr. Aki: Well what is it?

            Both Storm Shadow and Dark Strike threw off their battle gear and were back in normal clothes. Scott set both Shocker's medal and the unknown Medal half down on Dr. Aki's desk.

Scott: When Thunder Blade's medal ejected, it glowed and then split into these.

Dr. Aki: Interesting. This medal half appears very old…

Colin: Any idea where it came from?

Dr. Aki: No.

Scott: Wait a second…

            Scott reached into his pocket and pulled out another medal half. He the picked up the one on the desk and they began to glow. The ninja put the pieces together and they fused into one whole medal.

Dr. Aki: What in the world?

Scott: I've had that medal fragment since…

**Flashback (oh great…that means the world gets all swishy again…)**

            Storm Shadow and a mysterious medabot had just finished fighting off a rather large skeleton monster. They were celebrating when a blast of energy was suddenly launched at Storm Shadow. The medabot saw the blast and knocked the ninja out of the way. Storm Shadow's eyes widened in terror as the medabot was blown apart. When the smoke cleared, all that was left was a crater and half of a medal.

**End Flashback (again with the swishy ness)**

Scott: That medabot was the original Thunder Blade. He was destroyed by the same witch that trapped me in that ruby.

Dr. Aki: There were medabots then?

Scott: Yeah. But no one knew where they came from.

Colin: If that's the medal of the original Thunder Blade, do you think it still works?

Scott: There's only one way to find out.
