The Will Of The Medafighter

Chapter Six: True power revealed.
Sheena slowly opened her eyes.
"Man, that was no picnic. Larry, what's up? We didn't lose, did we?"
"…."
"What's wrong? Wait…He didn't?" Larry merely nodded, tears falling down his face.
"That…That bastard! Larry, I might be slightly banged up, but I will fight until my Medaparts give in. Let's do it!" Larry wiped his sleeve over his face, and grabbed Sheena's hand, pulling her up. Then, they stood in front of Omega Emperor.
"Yo Sheena, good to have you back."
"Well Bee boy, you need me. Who else is going to win this battle?" Larry pushed Ikki and Metabee back.
"Guys, this is my fight."
"But you can't fight with Sheena. You'll only get her destroyed." Sheena also agreed with Larry.
"We've stuck together through a lot. And I'll fight until this guy is beaten." Ikki and Metabee respected their wishes and stood some length away.
Larry now vented all of his pent up anger and rage on Medaevil, but kept his voice calm.
"Prepare to meet your end. You will learn that you do not hurt my friends, let alone the ones I love." Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light that appeared to come from within Larry. He stood next to Sheena, but he was surrounded by an incredible aura of blue energy. Sheena didn't seem to notice this, and spoke to Medaevil with a cold voice.
"When you broke Larry's heart by hurting Erika, you made the biggest mistake of your life. He won't give up, and as long as he can keep going then so can I, even when my Medaparts have been destroyed. I won't give up!" The same happened to Sheena, and both Medabot and Medafighter were surrounded by the blue aura. Larry took off his Medawatch and threw it to Ikki who caught it.
"Okay Sheena, let's just go with the flow. Three…"
"Two…"
"One…" Then, in perfect unison the pair shouted one word:
"MEDAFUSION!"
Ikki watched in amazement as Larry and Sheena appeared to be magnetised. They drew together, and the light became blinding. So much so, that no one could see what was going on inside. Larry's Medawatch suddenly gave a strange beep and he looked at it.
"Phantom, Metabee! Look at this." The watch was showing a diagram of Larry and Sheena.
"DNA match found. Link-up established. Generating nerve pathways and impulses. Weapon systems online. Weapons charged. Armour repaired. HMF on standby."
"So…It is finally happening."
"What is?"
"Larry and Sheena have unlocked one of the two hidden powers in the melded medal. The Medafusion."
The light cleared and a strange sight stood before them. A six foot tall Medabot that still had Sheena's design, but that was where the resemblance ended. Its armour was crystal white, and seemed to have grown thicker. It had no normal weapons, but a katana was hanging from its back. Long white hair spilled from beneath its head armour and instead of LED's, this one had real eyes.
When it spoke, the voice was a strange combination of Larry's and Sheena's.
"Alright, Let's do this.
Doctor Medaevil was slightly surprised, but didn't feel scared.
"So, you have the power of the Medafusion. It won't save you. Omega Emperor, destroy them completely!" The giant Medabot launched two more huge missiles at the fused Medabot. As quick as a flash, the fused Medabot's katana sliced through the one missile, before it punched the second one out of the way. It went hurtling over the field and exploded far from the battle. For the first time, fear clutched at the old cyborg's heart.
"Kill them! Hit them with everything you have!" Omega Emperor launched everything he had left, including seven Total Destruction missiles, twenty-seven mortars, fifty regular missiles and fired his Gatling guns dry.
"Phantom, what is the Medafusion?"
"If the ancient rumours are true, then the Melded Medal holds two powerful abilities. The first is the Medafusion. When the bond between a Medabot with the medal and its Medafighter is strong enough, and they are determined to stay with each other until the end, they can literally become one and fuse into a super Medabot. Although even a fused Medabot will have trouble surviving that onslaught."
"And the second power?"
"Let us hope that it won't be revealed. The writings stated that if the ultimate power was ever unlocked, it would either destroy the world or save it." Ikki swallowed nervously and watched the outcome of the battle.
The dust and smoke cleared and nothing was left where the fused Medabot had stood. Doctor Medaevil laughed maniacally.
"It seems the melded medal is overrated. Now, give me my medals!"
"Yo Gramps! If that's the best your hunk of junk can do, I'd suggest you start begging for mercy." The fused Medabot emerged from one of the huge craters. It didn't have one scratch, and casually brushed some dirt off its armour.
"No, it can't be! You should have been vaporised."
"Well, I'm not your run of the mill Medabot. You can call me Overdrive."
Turning to the barrier, Overdrive steadied his katana in front of him. Suddenly, blazing electricity erupted from it.
"Raiden Wave!" Overdrive swiped the sword downwards, a huge wave of power issuing from it. The barrier gave in with a flash of black energy. Larry knew that Erika would be safe, if she was still alive. Even in his robotic form, he felt a chill of fear. Every second going by meant one second less for her. Medaevil tried one last attack. He jumped onto Omega Emperor's back and linked himself with it. Omega Emperor walked forward, his weapons fully recharged. Overdrive eyed him with anger apparent in his grey eyes.
"I'm sorry Omega Emperor. But I have to do it. Medaevil, the souls of the Medabots you took over and misused will haunt you forever!"
"These things don't have souls. They are here to be used."
"You're wrong! The bond between a medafighter and his Medabot is something you can never comprehend. I'm the proof!" A beam of white light struck them from the sky and exploded into a rainbow of colours. Overdrive stood framed in a dark blue aura. The sheer power emanating from him made Medaevil pause, even though Omega Emperor was twenty-four feet taller than his enemy was.
"It can't be true! That power will be mine!"
Overdrive sheathed his sword and struck his arms out to his sides. Two huge globes of energy, each about the size of a dinner table, appeared in his hands.
"You want this power?" He slammed both his hands together, forcing the globes into one. It suddenly grew to frightening proportions. It was now the size of a regular house.
"Then take it, if you can handle it! Hyper Medaforce!" A beam so intense it hurt Ikki's eyes just to look at it, was fired from Overdrive's hands. As it caught Omega Emperor, Overdrive was buffeted backwards a foot or two by the sheer size and force of the wave. It completely encompassed the huge Medabot and it exploded in a huge fireball. Medaevil was caught in the blast as well, since he couldn't disconnect himself in time. When the blast vapour had cleared, nothing was left of Omega Emperor but a huge, smoking and charred wreck. Medaevil was nowhere to be seen.
"Is that it?" Ikki and Metabee stared speechlessly at the sight before them. Space Medafighter X bowed his head.
"Yes. So the writings have come to pass."
"Start making sense. What just happened?"
"The ultimate power became unsealed. Larry used the Hyper Medaforce. It is a greatly strengthened version of the normal Medaforce. It not only focuses all of the Medabot's energy, but also its spirit and will to live into one enormous burst. And not only the Medabot. The Medafighter also focuses his energy, emotions and soul into the same attack. The result is an unstoppable attack, one that is comprised of two of the strongest things in the universe: Friendship and trust. However, there is one drawback. Every time they use it, Larry runs the risk of killing himself, because he might break his mind in gathering the energy necessary."
"Hey, look at them!" The bright aura vanished, and Sheena and Larry became two people again. Larry fell to his knees in exhaustion, feeling as though he run a mile and then gone three rounds with Mike Tyson. He managed to catch Sheena before she fell to the ground.
"Sheena, you're not the only tired one."
"I think I'll just go beddy-bye for a while. See you." Just as Ikki and Metabee reached them, Sheena deactivated and her medal ejected. Larry caught it in his hand and looked at it. Even though he was exhausted, he still managed a look of surprise. Sheena's medal was morphing before his eyes. The front morphed into a complete Hercules Beetle, while the back turned into a Mermaid medal. Larry gave it to Ikki and then grabbed him by his collar and pulled him down so that they were face to face.
"Ikki…Save Erika for me. I'm just going to take a quick nap." That was all he managed, and then he passed out.
Today's Robattle. Overdrive beats Omega Emperor using the Hyper Medaforce, saving the world while he was at it. But is it too late for Erika?
