() My comments

Disclaimer: I own my computer, a bag of crackers and a soda right now... But I don't see any medabot anywhere. Nor Ikki or Metabee. Soooo, it seems I don't own Medabots..... yet.... mwahhahahahahahahahahaha...

Henry: *considers taking her soda away*

Note: There is something DEADLY wrong in the past chapter, which I plan on editing. Lyz doesn't want a Wolf type medabot. It's of a FOX type medabot. How I got that wrong? Don't ask me... I was probably not awake when I wrote it...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Red Alert. Red Alert. Someone broke into the building. Repeat: Someone is trying to broke into the building. Watch out for intruders."

"What's going on?!" Ikki exclaimed. Everybody looked from one side to another, searching for anything. Red lights just kept flashing and Dr. Aki didn't seem very happy with the situation.

Andrew didn't seem happy either. He grabbed Lyz's arm and pulled her away from the others, and towards the nearest exit.

"Wait! Andrew, what's wrong? Why are we leaving without the others?" she asked, but Andrew only continued to drag her away.

"We're not staying here, Lyz... We have to get out. Now." He said, and the girl frowned.

"Why? Do you know what's going on? ... Do have something to do with i-" but Andrew had spun around and had placed a hand over the girl's mouth.

"Be quiet. Just listen to me, ok? We have to get out of here. Now." He said, and Lyz could do nothing but nod, the platinum medal held tightly in her fist. Andrew nodded too, and the others didn't even notice that they were gone, until a wall exploded near them, making Lyz and Andrew fly backwards towards the others.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Ikki asked, running towards them. Lyz had been hit in the head and was unconscious, but Andrew only sat up and glared at whom had invaded the place.

Maniacal laughs were heard as many people dressed in black suits appeared, running inside and stopping before Ikki's group. Seaslug stepped to the front, a big smirk on his face.

"Hand over the platinum medals, doctor. Or face the consequences." He said, and many medabots filled the place, threatening destroying the whole lab. Ikki and Metabee stepped froward, ready for battle.

"How do you know about these medals?!" Dr. Aki asked. "Not a word about it was spoken to anyone outside the lab!" he said, and Gillgirl laughed.

"Oh doctor, you should analyze your men better. We know about the platinum medals, and we want them now. Hand them to us or you'll face the consequences."

"There's no platinum medal in here. Now go away!!" Ikki said.

"Yeah!! Or you're gonna get hit so many times you're gonna see as many stars as a summer night sky has!!" Metabee said, shaking his fist. Everybody raised an eyebrow at his threat, but decided against saying anything.

"We know there is! Now hand one to us, or you'll suffer!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--" Seaslug got interrupted in his 'psycho laugh' moment when Andrew stood up and glared at him.

"SHUT UP!!" he yelled, and all eyes were on him. He looked pissed, his teeth were gritted and his hands were clenched in tight fists. Beside him, Lyz had begun to awake. "Go away!! There's no medal here, LEAVE, YOU BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!"

Crystaline and Alexis looked at each other and blinked. That yell.... how could they have not noticed it before? They knew that boy, and they knew him well. They frowned, thinking about what he was doing there, and looked down at Lyz, who was beginning to sit up, rubbing her head. Maybe Erika's weird behavior had made the quick image of Andrew vanish from their mind, but now they were paying attention to him again.

And the fact that he was with a girl that resembled their best friend in all the aspects except the hair, the skin and the personality was as suspect as seeing Henry in a Phantom Renegade costume.

:

A figure looked left and right, standing on its heels. The eyes scanned no one in the surroundings, so as slow and carefully as possible, started to sneak towards the nearest exit. The sounds of the steps were silent and nobody noticed him. Soon, he would find a victim. And soon, he would be free.

But...

"HENRY!! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" a voice shouted, making Henry jump in surprise and hit his head on the counter, then lose his balance and fall down on a shelf full of magazines. Lying on his back on the floor, he blinked up at a very pissed boss.

"Heh... Hey boss..." he said nervously, sweat dripping from every place on his head. "I was... huh... going.... well, err... Deliver a medapart to a customer at home!! You know, the whole Home Delivering deal..." he laughed nervously, and his boss raised an eyebrow.

"Since when do we do Home Delivering?" he asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot on the floor. Henry sweatdropped.

"Since... huh... last month!! Yeah!! Don't you remember?" he asked, trying to sound surprised. His boss raised his eyebrow even higher, and Henry prayed to every god he knew that he wasn't screwed up.

"Hmm...." he said, eyeing Henry suspiciously, which only made him sweatdrop more. "Right..." he said at least, and Henry sighed in relief. "BUT..." he began again, and Henry held his breath. "... who's going to take care of the shop while you're gone?" he asked, back to his suspicious glare.

"Well... huh..." Henry sat up and looked around, spotting Rintaro eating a sundae at the back of the store. "He will!!" he said, pointing straight to Rintaro. The boy noticed that he was being pointed at, and blinked.

"Me what, dude? Take care of your store for you dude? Sure dude!! I'm sure it's going to be awesome, dude!!" he said and jumped from his chair, popping his fist high in the air. Henry sweatdropped and wondered to himself if that was a wise idea.

His boss turned his glare back at him and he smiled nervously.

"Don't be long. Or I'll fire you." He said, and Henry nodded vehemently. He sighed in relief when his boss walked to the back of the store, and raised an eyebrow when Rintaro greeted the next customer with more energy than necessarily.

'Eh... I just hope he doesn't scare the customers away...' he thought, hitting his head with his palm. 'But now... It's time to go to the Medabots Corp.'

:

"The girl!" Gillgirl pointed to Lyz, and the girl looked up at her with surprised eyes. "She has a white medal in her hands!!" she said, and Lyz shook her head.

"No!! This medal is mine, I'm not giving it to you!!" she said, and stepped back. Andrew continued to glare at the rubberrobos, but they paid to him no attention.

"Go!! Get the medal from the girl!!" Seaslug commanded, and the medabots all ran towards Ikki's group. Metabee stepped forward and soon another medabot was beside him. He looked at it, and found it as a CAT type.

Starcat

Cat Type

Medafighter: Casy

Specialty: Prism Whirlwind

Ikki looked up at Casy, and the girl looked determinate in fighting. He nodded to her and the two of them stepped forward, ready for battle. Elisa, Kevin, Heather and Allex all were prepared with their medawatches when they suddenly heard an exclamation.

"Where's Crystaline?" Alexis asked, looking left and right for the girl. Heather raised an eyebrow and sighed, hoping it was not going to happen what she thought was going to happen.

"Transport medabot!!" all the kids from the future said, and their medabots appeared in a wave of blue light. Soon, all the room was covered in battles but there were way too many medabots for only Ikki and his friends handle.

Lyz screamed. A medabot hit her and she went flying towards the nearest wall, the medal falling somewhere, along with her glasses.

"My medal!!" she exclaimed, but with her vision slight blurred without her glasses and with all the action around her, she was not heard in time for someone to come to her rescue. The medabot may have not realized that the medal had fallen and continued to advance on her.

Lyz was the only one to notice a figure in a black cloak bend down and pick up something shiny. Nobody seemed to notice it and with a series of simple movements, disappeared. Maybe it had been another hallucination, but she knew that glow.

Someone had taken the platinum medal. But just who was it?

]]]]] TBC [[[[[
