Metabots: Stranger Things Have Happened
Chapter 5 written by Noble....
*GASP* "Holy Medarolle! Metabee look at all those reviews! Do you know what this means?"
"Hang on I'll get a dictionary!" *Metabee quickly looks through the dictionary and looks up 'Holy Medarolle' and then looks back at all the readers sweatdropping, "Err...translation? You don't want to know *throws away the dictionary* Come on Noble let's get going I wanna Robattle!"
This is just a quick thank you to all the people who reviewed my fic thus far. I mean I woke up this morning to find that my fic went up from 4 reviews to 14, can I expect more? Here's hoping! So once again my thanks and now on with the story!

"Man I feel so stupid. Ikki do I have to wear this damn thing? What if some other Medabots see me like this? It's embarrassing enough just looking in the mirror in this suit!" grumbles Metabee frowning.
"Sorry Metabee but rules are rules. I'm your medafighter and your my Medabot so what I say goes!" answers Ikki while putting on some more respectable clothing.
"Hey I don't take orders from you! I'm my own medabot!" he retorts fuming, going through the early stages of a temper tantrum.
"Fine then you can explain that to Erika and Brass when we meet them. Or would you rather I ban you from watching TV for a month?"
"ERK!! Erika?! Whoa back it up! I don't mind taking on an army of medabots but taking on Erika AND banning me from watching my soap opera's?! What colour suit shall I wear black or blue?" he answers quickly rumaging through a pile of clothing hoping to at least keep his tv privlages.
Ikki just smirks confidently glancing over at his Medabot giving him the 'look' as they say. In the past it was Metabee that was giving him orders or trying to chase him angrily while shooting with his laser cannon. It was like even by being his Medafighter he couldn't get a word in edgeways because Metabee refused to listen. But silently he had to admit Metabee was showing promise, not just for being his medabot or because he had a rare medal but because he was actually getting used to taking his orders. And while trying to get to know one another Ikki had found out unexpectedly that his medabot had grown quite fond of watching the Television, not to mention he feared for his life especially when it came to answering to a fuming Erika who at times had a worse temper then even Metabee himself and that was a little hard to swallow or understand.
Once they were both dressed and suited up Ikki and metabee who was feeling down right embarrassed said their goodbyes to Mrs Tenriyou and made their way to Henry's store. On the way Ikki had noticed occassionally that his Medabot was a little too talkative then usual and kept on going through one of his nervous twitches with every step they took to the meeting point.
"Metabee, what's with you? You've been acting all nervous the second we left the house"
"Me? Nervous?! Ha never! Ol' Metabee ain't afraid of anything!" he answers throwing his fist into the air.
"Ohh I get it! You've got a crush on Brass haven't you?" questions Ikki with a sly look in his eye.
"Gck! Gck! Gck! What did you say?! Oh that's it NOW I'm mad!! Just for that you can meet Erika with your butt full of holes!!" shouts Metabee twitching and glaring nervously at his partner, a blue vein showing on his forehead.
"AHHHH Metabee NO!!! Stop it!!"
"Get Back here you Medabum!! I ain't done with you yet!!" he shouts running after Ikki firing his Laser Cannon.

"Wow Erika, your looking pretty smart tonight? What's the occassion?" questions Henry giving his best wolf whistle.
"Oh nothing much. Myself and Brass are going out on a date with Ikki and Metabee" she answers smugly lifting her nose into the air.
"IKKI? AND METABEE? Oh this I've got to see. Hey where is Brass anyway?"
"That's the little suprise for Metabee" she answers grinning evilly, tapping her medawatch.
"What? Is she getting herself ready still?"
"Oh heavens no! Brass has been ready for 6 hours straight and she wants to make sure her big entrance will knock Metabee right off his feet"
"That's going to be kind of hard to do with that ego of his in the way" answers Henry flatly.
"Oh hush! I'm sure that will all change in a few short minutes when they eventually get here"
Henry looks at Erika questionably and then looks up with a hand rubbing his chin, as if he was in thought. He then looks back at Erika with a raised eyebrow.
"Brass....fancies...Metabee?"
"Hm? I'm not so sure. In fact that's one thing I'll have to ask her tonight. After all it was her idea about the whole 'double dating' in the first place" she answers rumaging in her purse and quickly bringing out a note pad and pencil and jotting some questions to ask Brass later. (If anything, you people and I know that Erika is bound to make a news headline out of this, heh)
"Hey, do you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounds like....screaming and gunfire? A robattle?"
Not quite, it was actually none other than Ikki running for dear life away from his own Medabot that was refusing to stop trying to fill him full of holes. An angry Metabee is not a pushover and not to be taken lightly.
"I said, 'STAND STILL!' I only want to shoot you a couple thousand times and it'll only hurt for...hmm let's see how should I say this gently? It's only going to hurt so much that you won't be able to sit down for a MONTH!!" shouts Metabee still unable to land a single Laser Cannon blast on Ikki.
"Oh isn't this interesting? I can see the headline right now, 'Ikki Tenriyou 3rd best medafighter in Japan murdered by his own rebelious Medabot but not before his Metabot got shut down and torn apart by his medafighter's girlfriend!" growls Erika glaring at Metabee with fire in her eyes.
"ERK!!! Yo Ikki! Save me from your girlfriend before she ends up in 'the world's most wanted!! And before I end up on the obituries list of HER newspaper!!" shouts Metabee cowering behind his medafighter.
"Erika...you look.."
"Gorgeous? Beautiful? Stunning? Tell me something I don't know" she cuts in grinning.
"You forgot butt ugly"
"METABEE!!" growls both Ikki and Erika.
"What? What I say?" he answers acting like he said nothing.
"OOOO that does it Metabee your going to get it! Transport Medabot!!"
"Right on!! A robattle!!" shouts Metabee unfazed and eager to give a Metabee boppin to whoever Erika thought was foolish enough to tango with him.
"Then it's agreed! I offically declare this to be a submission robattle between Metabee and Erika's unknown metabot! The rules are simple, whoever ceases to function first loses! Metabots ready?" (how this guy is able to mysteriously appear out of nowhere is beyond me)
"Bring it! I'm ready for anything!!"
Unfortunetly however the Medabot that was foolish enough to robattle with Metabee was none other than Brass, his date and when she appeared she looks nothing short of stunning, looking shiney and new like she came straight off the production line. Tonight however she was wearing human clothing, the sort you would see a female reporter wearing i.e a shirt, jacket and a short skirt. Her appearance actually gives off the desired affect and Metabee for the first time in his life is nothing short of speechless and he is twitching rather uncomfortably. If Metabee had a mouth, (which I doubt he has or you can actually see) then it would have hit all the way to the floor.
"Good evening Metabee" giggles Brass.
"I....I....."
*CRASH*
Mr Referre quickly runs over to inspect Metabee who has fainted and showing no signs of movement.
"Err......Function ceased! And the winner is Brass!!"
The entire result of Brass' big entrance and Metabee fainting is too much to bear for both Erika and Ikki. It was priceless just to see his face immediately drop from being so smug and cocky to completely shocked and then after seeing him faint the minute he layed his optics on her. For prosperity Erika takes a quick snap shot of the fallen Medabot before resuming bursting into laughter with Ikki who was on the floor clutching his chest, laughing in hysterics.
A short time later Metabee awakens and the minute he sets his optics on Brass he's back on his feet quickly, trying to keep some form of dignity while trying to hide his nervousness. Where are all those smartass comments just when he needed them the most? His circuits somehow get this sensation to frazzle whenever he looks at her, he tries to say something but the words don't come out. A quick slap on his back wakes Metabee from his stupor.
"Come on Metabee! Put your optics back in your sockets and quit oogling Brass! We haven't even started the date yet!" chuckles Ikki evilly.
*****
The evening goes remarkably well for Ikki and Erika who are enjoying one another's company, talking about Medabots, robattling and even what the next news headline for the school newspaper should be. When that came up Ikki snidely suggested that they should get a picture of Metabee wearing a suit on the frontpage just to damage his image slightly and then after put on page 3 his 'amazing defeat' at the hands of Brass who didn't even touch him to win the robattle. That should leave him a crabby mood for about a few days. They begin to giggle slightly again while peering at Brass and Metabee behind them to see how they were doing and it looked like that this time it was Brass who had Metabee wrapped around her little finger because he was saying diddly and Brass was not holding anything back, especially when she got close to her date and whispered in his reciever, causing Ikki's Medabot to change the colour of his armour from yellow to beat red all over from embarrassment.
Erika seeing that Brass wasn't holding anything back on this evening decided to go for the more direct approach just like her Medabot and placed one hand on Ikki's and moved closer and whispered seductively into her ear causing the same thing that happened to Metabee to happen to Ikki. Yep the female population certainly knew what they had to say in order to wrap us males around their finger.
And so the night went on. They returned to the Medabot corperation and got to go through the remarkable tour again, compliments from Dr Aki for their getting together and for Ikki because he was holding 3rd place in the world championship robattle tournament. Once finished they even encountered a couple of medafighters looking for a robattle which made Metabee eager to test his abilites against his opponents and to get his mind off Brass for the time being.
And once after that robattle was over, Metabee being the winner obviously. Who turns up? The Screws! And the minute they lay eyes on Ikki's Metabot wearing a suit, they burst into laughter as do their medabots PepperCat and Cyan Dog. This without a doubt angers Metabee to no end and immediately he starts blasting the screws and their Medabots repeatedly cursing and shouting loudly, steam literally coming out of his head. It seems Metabee got his ego back.....woe is us...
3 hours after that it's time to part ways and Ikki walks Erika back to her house and they say their goodbyes giving each other a huge but slow and passionate kiss. Both Metabee and Brass look on sweatdropping and just when Ikki's Metabot is going to do the same, he is dragged literally by his suit collar by Brass and behind a tree.
"Hmmm....goodnight Ikki, I'll see you in the morning?"
"You bet! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" he answers pulling away from her.

"Hey mom I'm home!"
"Oh hi honey, how did your date with Erika go?" asks Mrs Tenriyou.
"It was the best mom. I'm seeing her again tommorrow"
"Oh another date? That's nice dear"
Just then the front door swings open revealing a very badly dressed and scruffy Metabee, with lipstick marks all over his head. The look in his eyes is distant but his very appearance is comical.
"I take it you had a good night as well eh pal?"
"Hehe....err...you could say that"
