Author's Note: I realize that Anaroth is a Pokemon from Ruby And Sapphire.
It was a good name.
Chapter 3
Dominion Rising
Anaroth was jumped onto the balcony of the fifteenth floor hotel room that her medafighter, Brian's half-sister, was staying. It appeared that Debbie had ordered room service and was currently eating chicken teriyaki, one of her favorite foods. Debbie noticed Anaroth had entered the room.
"What did my little brother have to say?" Debbie asked.
"According to him, the target is infected with a virus that increases the powers of a medabot and makes them want to harm humans. They will even rebel against their Medafighter." Anaroth said. "Brian had to fight Psy."
A look of shock went over Debbie's face. She was there when Psy's medal was destroyed as she wanted to watch her brother in battle.
"I thought the same. Brian was mugged for the medal. Whoever stole it resurrected and infected the medal with the Dominion virus." Anaroth said.
"Let's go find Crosserdog." Debbie said.
"We'd better rest first." Anaroth said.
"Good idea." The bounty hunter said.
**************************************************************************** **
Ikki had met up with Koji quite on accident and the two went to get some burgers when they saw Crosserdog blowing holes in Cuddly Bear.
"Crosserdog, why'd you shoot Spike?" Ikki asked.
"He annoyed me. With him as a Medafighter, I wouldn't be able to beat a wet paper bag." Crosserdog said pointing his weapon arm towards Ikki and Koji. "I would leave if I were you."
Metabee and Sumilidon stepped in between their Medafighters and Crosserdog.
"You're going down." Metabee said.
"I doubt that." Crosserdog said firing his gun twice. Metabee and Sumilidon were slammed hard by the hit. The battle had begun. With better speed than Crosserdog should have had, Crosserdog jumped into the air and shot off Sumilidon's limbs. Another shot sent Metabee to the ground. Barely getting to his feet, the glow of the Medaforce surrounded him.
"Kiss your bot good-bye!" Metabee yelled. "MEDAFORCE!"
The powerful blast struck Crosserdog and sent him crashing into a wall. Crosserdog got back up and walked towards the weakened Metabee. The rogue Medabot pointed his weapon arm towards Metabee's head.
"I'm going to crush your medal." Crosserdog said preparing to fire.
Suddenly, a laser bolt blasted Crosserdog's weapon arm. Triangulating, Crosserdog fired. Ikki watched as a medabot landed on the ground gracefully. This medabot was black and ran towards Crosserdog with a sword out. Every time Crosserdog fired, this medabot would jump away from the shot, but it still continued towards Crosserdog until it cut the rogue medabot's head off. The black medal ejected and was grabbed by the mysterious medabot. Grabbing its sniper rifle, the medabot ran off.
"Ikki, you know who that was?" Arika asked.
"No." Ikki said.
"That was Anaroth." Arika said.
"The bounty hunter." Koji said.
"The same. But you guys are lucky. From the way Crosserdog acted, I think he was infected with the same virus that Psy was." Arika said. "And since Anaroth took the medal, I think I know where she's going."
**************************************************************************** **
Anaroth handed Crosserdog's infected medal to Brian, who began to connect cables to it. Going over to a computer, Brian began to analyze the incoming data. He'd called Dr. Aki who arrived soon after. Psychictron let in Arika and Brass without him knowing.
"It's just like the others." Dr. Aki said.
"What do you mean?" Brian asked.
"The Dominion virus is a leftover from Dr. MedaEvil. If his plan at the WRC failed, this virus was suppose to release. The bad thing is that not many medabots can defeat a Dominion infected medabot. Only four, including Anaroth and Psychictron, have been found to be able to defeat a Dominion medabot. We've already checked those two medabots and found they were immune to the virus. I'd like to check Psychictron and Anaroth." Dr. Aki said.
"That won't hurt to know." Psychictron said.
"I'll have to clear it with Debbie." Anaroth said leaving.
Brian turned around to see Arika was behind them.
"Hi, Arika." Brian said.
"Hey, I just came from Ikki. He says Crosserdog totaled Sumilidon and Koji is furious." Arika said.
"Metabee is highly damaged." Brass said. "He's peeved that Crosserdog was able to beat him so severely."
"It wasn't really Crosserdog. Crosserdog was infected with the Dominion virus." Dr. Aki said.
Brian ordered Psychictron over and Brian connected wires to Psychictron's medal. Dr. Aki and him began to scan the medal.
"That's it." Dr. Aki said pointing to a bit of code in the medal.
"The Dominion virus." Brian said bringing up the data on Crosserdog's medal.
"Wait, do you see this component in Crosserdog's medal?" Dr. Aki asked.
Brian zoomed in on the section of code that Dr. Aki had pointed to. It was a cylindrical section of code. Brian checked Psychictron's code and found the same bit of code was missing.
"Psychictron's missing that bit of code but the virus is latent." Dr. Aki said.
"That's it. Is that bit of code on basically all medals?" Brian asked.
"Yes. Though Medabots can easily operate without it. It's a fail-safe code." Dr. Aki said.
"That's the immunity. When you got people to start registering their Medabot's energy signature, someone implanted the virus onto each medal. Most people have the code so the virus will eventually activate. However, do to a glitch in manufacturing, very few medals have the immunity." Brian said.
Dr. Aki agreed and he had to leave. The next day, Brian and Arika walked to school with their Medabots. Brian talked to Arika about his findings until they met six Medafighter-less Medabots. All six were Belzelgas. Psychictron and Brass got between Brian and Arika.
"What do you want?" Psychictron asked with his sword out.
"Your humans' heads on silver platters." Said one of the Belzelgas.
The battle had begun. Despite the fact that Brass knew that she was outmatched, the Medabot wouldn't let anyone near her Medafighter. She was dealing with one of them, while Psychictron was handling the other five. With quick moves of his sword, Psychictron finished off four of them. A storm began to form and it quickly began to rain hard. As Psychictron shoved his sword into the fifth Belzelga's head, the sixth gave a powerful punch to Brass. Turning around to go towards Psychictron, Psychictron threw his sword into the air and sliced the Dominion-infected Medabot in half. He saw Brass and ran towards her. Brass was screaming in pain. The compartment that held her medal was open and they could see Brass's medal begin to darken. Arika fell to her knees.
"Brass! No! Don't go black!" Arika screamed.
Psychictron picked Brass up and took her to the center of the street. He had a plan but he knew it was too dangerous. But, he couldn't let Brass become infected. Opening his medal compartment, he connected a wire from his medal to Brass's own. He lifted Brass's screaming form over his head.
"DO IT!" Psychictron yelled.
Suddenly, lightning streaked across the sky and struck the two Medabots. Brian and Arika ran out to their limp forms and watched as both medals were ejected. Arika picked up Brass's medal.
"Brian, it's back to normal." Arika said putting the medal into her Meda- Watch. "Brass, are you okay?"
Brian did the same and neither of them got an answer.
"We'd better call Dr. Aki." Brian said as they went to find a phone booth.
