The door of the three room apartement opened, leatting in a masked woman in a clad black costume and two Medabots. Kasumi removed her Space Medafighter X golden facemask and put it on a nearby desk, next to her keys. Syren crashed on the couch and flick the TV on. They were showing images of what had happened earlier that day at the airport parking. Kasumi sat beside her and grabed the remote from her Medabot's hand.
"Please I don't want to see that!" Complained the woman, switching to some random channel, ending on a new episode of PokŽmon."Geez...when are they gonna stop making these? It's been on for like 300 years." She added, changing the channel again, this time choosing the music videoclip channel.
" Kasumi, do you mind changing my Medaparts to something more practical?" Asked Seagaru, holding out her dragon head hands and tail.
"Sure...Transport Medapart!" Said Kasumi, changing the Medaparts.
Seagaru's tail had now being changed to a petticoat Medapart, a nurse -type's leg, while her arms had being changed to sailor-type ones. She sat on the large couch on Kasumi's other side.
"I bet Spiritus is having a great time... she said they were going to watch both a Samurai movie and a Kung-fu one." She added.
"Lucky she got someone... but don't tell her she does, you know how she feels about...well feelings." Jokingly commented Syren.
There suddenly was a knock at the door. Kasumi stood up and grabed hold of her facemask as she check who it was through the peephole. On the other side was a man in a grey and white uniform with a strange arm piece that looked like a metal sleeve with a round red shoulder plate that made his left arm look like a Medapart. The man's eyes were hidden by the strange visor of his helmet. Space Medafighter X opened the door to welcome an old acquaintance.
" Hello Captain Tenryo. What owe me the visit of a Select Corp agent?" She asked.
Johzo Tenryo, Captain in the Select Corp lift his visor, revealing his pair of glasses, as he steped in the appartement. He noded to salute the two Medabots. Kasumi closed the door and set her mask down and both adult sat down at the small dinner table.
"Don't you have three Medabots?" Inquired Johzo.
"Oh, Spiritus is...well...on a date." Answered Kasumi, giggling slightly.
"Congratulation for the place in the standing... I know the standing aren't finals yet but I'm sure you'll go to the championship."
"Thank you, congratulation about your son. He's a great kid, and a great Medafighter, he's already in the top three and he's only been robattling for a year...but you didn't come here to talk about the tournament did you?" Asked the woman.
"Well...no and yes... apparantly the Rubberobo Gang on the move and are planning something related to the tournament... We only have scarce information but from what we can tell their plans are not finals yet... I also have a very bad news that you needed to know." Said the man, making a pause. "He's escaped. We don't know how but he got hold of a metalic object and he was able to break out yesterday." He grimly added.
Kasumi looked shock"How could this happen? You think...he might come after me?"
"It's a posibility, you did put him in jail... it's a good bet but I don't think even HE would attack you this soon after his escape, but keep an open eye okay? We don't want our best freelancer taken out, and everybody down at HQ is betting on Japan to win the Championship this year...Allright, I got to go now, dinner's almost ready back at home and I need to change first." Declared the man as he got up.
"I still don't understand why you absolutly want your son to stay in the dark about your real job, after all he's already knee deep in the whole Rare Medal issue."Commented Kasumi, escorting Captain Tenryo to her door.
"I got my reasons, see you around!"
Ikki yawned and put his hand behind his head. Metabee did the same and the two of them leaned against one of the wooden column of the small shrine of the Forest Temple of Riverview. They were waiting for Space Medafighter X. Koji and Sumilodon were practicing their Shadow Sword moves, slashing the air with their energy blades. Their blades were rough looking, as if made by bursts of energy, it was nothing compared to the smooth blades X and Spiritus can create, It was interesting at first but after seeing them do the same routines about ten times it was a little boring and the atmosphere in the bamboo forest was not the most tentalizing one.
"Hey guys! How about a Robattle?"Asked Metabee.
"We are training." Simply answered Koji.
"Aww you're no fun." Complained the KBT, crossing his arms.
"Maybe you should practice your swords move too... You still remember how to use a sword right?" Proposed Ikki.
The Medabot looked up at his Medafighter with questioning eyes "Sure, I bet I could even fence with Rokusho or Sumilodon... sure he's got the Shadow Sword now but still...why?"
"Nobody would expect a KBT Medabot to use a SWORD! You're specialty is long range shooting, and some punching because you got enough speed... but we could really surprise the oposition by using a sword instead! Maybe we could borrow Gallahaste's sword using arm and using it with your Golden Medapart could give us a good edge in battle." Explained the boy.
"Clever...but we might not need to borrow it...just win it." Replied Metabee, rubbing his hand together in anticipation of a great Robattle.
"Hello kids!" Called X as she arrived with her three Medabots.
"Hey there Tiger!" Said Spiritus, walking over to Sumilodon. "Thanks again for last evening." She added.
"It was really nothing... want to...want to spar a little?" Replied Sumilodon.
"Sure!" Agree Spiritus, summoning her Shadow sword.
And the two feline Medabots were off. Slashing at each other and having fun blocking all incoming attacks and trying to reply to them. Koji warned them not to go too far as they started to dissapear off in the bamboo forest. The boy wondered if it wasn't just a trick to be alone and mused at his Medabots attitude.
"I'm glad to see you've been practicing with your Shadow Sword Koji." Commented X, heading for the shrine before sitting down on the steps.
"Hi Seagaru, Syren." Greeted Metabee.
"Hi Metabee." Both female Medabot replied.
" So why did you call us here X?" Asked Ikki.
"X... I didn't know we were on such familiar terms young man." Jokingly replied the woman. "Seriously I just wanted to have a little team meeting."
"In the following month before the final standings are announce all three of us will have to defend our place. You have to be aware that when the preliminary standings are released, Medafighters from all over Japan will try to get our place... in fact, they will mostly go after you Ikki." She explained.
Ikki was surprised "ME?!?Why?"
"Yeah, why that commoner? You and me are much higher!" Inquired Koji, making Ikki growl.
"It's simple Koji, Ikki is the number three, people will consider him lower level than us, no offense guys, and thus an easier target. They will simply go after him to steal the easy third position. Also I want to tell you to train...and seriously." Answered Space Medafighter X.
" Not to worry! We got TWO Rare Medals and TWO Shadow Sword in this team, so we can easily optimize on long range or close combat, nobody can beat us!" Proudly declared Ikki.
"Hmm... that's right!" Agreed Metabee.
"That's the kind of attitude you shouldn't have... if you weren't a kid I would'ave smack you over the head." Complained X, getting up. " There is about 30 Rare Medals in use all around the world, there is at least one in every team that will be at the Championship and I know for sure there will be two Shadow Swords user. You will need more than just a special power to win in that tournament. Here, check this, it's the final standing for Team Canada, I think you're familiar with two names on it... and I am with the third."
X handed a paper to each of the boy to look over. It had the top three Medafighter in Canada surrounded in red stylo. For some reason, Canada was always the first to release it's final standings whereas Japan was in the last ones.
"Woh!" Gasped Ikki. "Martin and Snomotor are in second place! And Sophie and Harwing are in third!"
"NO WAY! Those two got Rare Medals and Snomotor already defeated Sumilodon while Harwing manage to defeat Gallahaste!" Realised Metabee, grabing the paper.
"And the Number 1, Adam, is a man from British Columbia I met on my travels... he knows the Shadow Sword. I've never seen his Medabot tough but my guess is that he tought him the technique." Added X.
"Hmm...Ravenhawk... Hey what's this little article down there..." Commented Koji, reading further down the newspaper page photocopy. "Oh...it says here the four teams to watch out for this year are Kenya, Japan, USA and Canada... Kenya for they have the World-Champion, Victor, with them, Japan and USA because they always had high level Medafighters that ended up in the last rounds if not Champions... and Canada is considered the Wild Card this year because all three of their team-members were virtual nothing just two years ago, they all rose up in the standing at incredible speed...kinda like you Ikki. they replaced the old team who hadn't done well in the last two tournament."
"Hey! I was NOT nothing!" Complained the other Medafighter.
X interupted the discussion before it could turn into an arguement "Let's not argue kids... now don't forget you still have to win points if you want to keep your place in the standings. So I suggest you guys find someone to Robattle today you haven't robattle yet."
"Hey! How about you X?" Proposed Metabee.
The masked Kasumi chuckled "You're only number three... go find some EASIER targets to defeat, if you REALLY need to we'll Robattle. Allright Koji, how about Spiritus and I join you in your training? I need to train too after all... Ikki why don't you go in town... there might already be some Rank-Hunter around!" She proposed.
"Aw your no fun...com'on Ikki! Maybe we can find Gwen and Gallahaste! Or maybe Diama and Alexia, we never finished our Official Robattle with them!" Replied Metabee, sounding over eager.
Ikki sweatdropped "You think too much about Robattles Metabee...Allright we'll leave you two to your training."
"Maybe we should go find Sumilodon and Spiritus before they try to do stuff that requires body part they don't have." Commented Space Medafighter X, realising the two Medabots had dissapeared.
Ikki, Koji and Syren looked at her confused while Seagaru and Metabee, the closest things to adults there, snickered. The two Shadow Sword user went off to search for their Medabots while Metabee and Ikki left to go back in town. Metabee was reviewing all the Medafighters they knew listing who they had defeated and who they hadn't Robattle.
"We never Robattled Space Medafighter X... I still want to Robattle Gallahaste here... our battle with Diama is unfinished... Karen and Neutranurse never Robattled with us..." He said as they were out of the Forest.
"I'm not Robattling Karen! She's too nice! Beside Neutranurse wouldn't stand a chance against you." Interrupted Ikki.
"Yeah Neutranurse is too nice too...HEY! What about my bro? We never Robattled Henry and ArcBeetle!" Proposed the Medabot.
"Nice idea! And you know what's a cool loophole? If we Robattle him as both Phantom Renegade and Henry we'll win double the points!" Agreed the boy.
"I'll race ya to the Hop Mart!" Suddenly called Metabee, rushing down the street.
"HEY WAIT UP!"
