"Aww...com'on Henry! Just ONE Robattle!" Pleaded Ikki to the store clerk.

"No means no. How many time will I have to tell you?" Complained the man, exasperated as it was almost the hundreth time the boy or his Medabot tried to convince him since they entered the Hop Mart.

" Com'on! I bet ArcBeetle's itching to fight!"Proposed Metabee.

Henry fished his Medawatch from his pocket "No I don't." Said ArcBeetle.

"AWW MAN!" The duo declared at the same time, sweatdroping.

Henry sighed "I'm sorry Ikki, but I don't want to Robattle unless it's absolutly nessecary...I have my reasons...now please, if you're not buying anything, you're gonna have to leave the store."

"And I share his feelings." Pointed out ArcBeetle, as his Medawatch returned to it's pocket.

Metabee and Ikki finally gave up and exit the store. They knew they would never be able to convince Henry and ArcBeetle, whatever their reasons might be. They decided it was better to head back home, Metabee could always do some target shooting. As they walked down the street they passed a little chinese restaurant. That chinese restaurant wouldn't have anything special if it wasn't for the four VERY special employees washing dishes.

------------

"Keep going Robos! We're 3 pile of dirty dishes away from paying back the Leader for those Extreme Medabots." Declared Seaslug "Boy it sure is the last time I trust an American salesman."

Seaslug, Gillgirl, Squidguts and Shrimplips had been sentanced by the Leader to repay for all the Extreme Medabots wasted, even if it was Fingal, Crableg and Carpeye who lost three of them, it was Seaslug's fault they spent money to buy those things on the black market. They had been washing dishes for the last week or so.

"This is degrading... I'm sure glad it's over soon." Commented Gillgirl "Meanwhile my sister is getting all the glory of being the number 1 Medafighter in Japan..."She tought as she changed her cloth for a clean dry one and starting to dry a clean dish.

"We're going to have to work hard to regain the Leader's trust!" Pointed out Shrimplips.

"We can always steal Rare Medals, we know where to get them!" Proposed Squidguts.

Seaslug grabbed hold of a dirty plate and plunged it in the hot water "Yeah but how we gonna do that? All those Medabots are pretty strong."

"Yeah we always get beaten." Added Squidguts.

The rest of the gang nodded before they gave out a collective sigh of defeat. The four Rubberobos stayed silent as they kept working.

"Allright enough self-pity!" Suddenly called Gillgirl after a few minutes. " We are the evil Rubberobo Gang and we are going to CONQUER THE WORLD! AND NOBODY WILL EVER STOP US!"

"YEAH!" The three guy shouted in reply.

"STOP SHOUTING AND KEEP WASHING!" Roared the restaurant's chef.

All four rubber clad criminals shrank into a corner, shaking with fear "Yes boss." Gasped Seaslug.

"Anyway...I have a plan." Continued Gillgirl, returning to her work with the rest of her group.

"Is it an evil devious one?"Asked Seaslug.

"Very." Answered the woman, laughing evilly.

The three men stared at her "Don't laugh like that...you scare me." said Squidguts.

Ikki and Metabee were still on their way back to home when something rather odd happened. At first it was only a speck in the distance followed by a cloud of dirt. In a flash this little guy with a red shirt, brow shorts, a black belt and spikey red and black hair was going over Metabee from head to toe ranting on and on in an incredibly speedy way. As annoying as the newcommer was, he was what the two had been hoping for...

"DUDE! It's an old style KBT! DUDE! KBT RULES! Dude he's so cool DUDE! Where'd ya get him dude? That golden Medapart rocks dude! Hey dude you wouldn't be Ikki Tenryo? DUUUUUDE!"

Metabee was obviously getting very anoyed by the short maniac touching all his Medaparts "KYIK! KYIK! KYIK! GET YOUR HANDS OF ME!" He finally roared, forcing the kid away.

"Woh! Dude your Medabots wacko!" Complained the little guy getting up.

"Who are you?" Asked Ikki, annoyed just like his Medabot.

"The name's Rintaro dude! Rintaro! Remember it dude! So you that Ikki dude right? Right? Right? Right? DUDE Answer me!" Continued on the boy now known as Rintaro.

"Yeah I'm Ikki Tenryo...why? What do you want?"

"Dude! I'm here to Robattle you dude! I want a place in the tournament dude! So you accept? Huh? Huh? Huh? Com'on dude!" Answered the kid in his annoying speedy speech patern.

"Allright you're on kiddo!" Agreed Metabee, before Ikki could say a word.

"METABEE! Sure kiddo! Show me what you've got!" Added the Medafighter.

"ALLRIGHT DUDE! Tranport Kantaroth!" Called the kid.

He pressed his Medawatch, sending a blue beam toward the ground and in a flash appeared his Medabot. Metabee and Ikki were schocked, it looked almost like Metabee! It was a KBT allright, yellow, with more angles, his horn shaped like a 'T', his laser canons looked more advance and his front wasn't of the same design at all. It was a KBT...but mark 3.

Vital Stats
KBT-11220-3
Kantaroth, Hercules-Beetle -type
Medafighter: Rintaro
Special Attack: Shooting

"Now we'll see if a mark 3 KBT is really as great as the original,dude!" Declared Rintaro, suddenly sounding much calmer and down to buisness.

At that moment a young woman exited a nearby clothing store and one of her bag started to shake violently. "THEN IT'S AGREED! " Called Mister Referee as he burst out of the bag with a bra on his head.

"PERVERT!" Shrieked the woman, smashing her purse on the back of the ref's head before grabbing her stuff and walking away.

"Ow... as I was saying..." Continued Mr. Referee, getting up. "I officially declare this a submission Robattle betweem Ikki's Metabee and Rintaro's Kantaroth! The first Medabot to start the other from functionning wins! The loser must then submit one Medapart to the winner, for keeps... Medafighter ready? Medabots...ROOOOOBATTLE!"

"Get in there Metabee and take him out!" Ordered Ikki.

"Dude, try to get in close and deck him dude!" Ordered Rintaro.

Metabee started shooting with his Golden Laser, aiming at his opponent's chest. Kantaroth was surprisingly fast and avoided the attack and started shooting, Metabee was lucky to have is one of a kind Golden Medapart because it was enough to block a few shots, long enough for Metabee to escape the blast by rolling to the side. Metabee landed on one knee and shot a voley of blasts with his repeaters, missing by an inch as Kantaroth used the same kind of maneuvers to avoid and shoot him. Metabee endured the hits without much damage

"This guy is good! He knows exactly how a KBT can move the most effectively... Metabee, you HAVE to get in close if you want to win!" Said Ikki in his Medawatch.

Metabee started shooting, aiming at Kantaroth's right side, forcing him to move toward his left. Metabee took the chance and sprung back to his fist, charging forward with all his speed and barely dodging yet another laser voley! Growling agresively Metabee was about to deck Kantaroth across the face, but the other KBT reacted fast enough and grab hold of Metabee's fist with his hand and then tried a left hook at his opponent's face. Only to see his own fist caught in the same way. The two KBT started to struggle, hoping to push the other to the ground, buth both were at equal strength, it was a stalemate...but not for long. Ikki had experience with this kind of situation.

"Metabee! He's wide open! You know what to do!" Called Ikki.

"Right! MISSILE LAUNCHED!" Shouted the Medabot.

There was a large explosion and both Medabots were sent flying apart from each other! Metabee landing on the street and Kantaroth hitting a wall. Metabee got up with some heavy damage but still functioning, whereas Kantaroth felt face first. His Medal poped out and felt on the ground.

"Function ceased! The winner is Metabee!" Declared Mr. Referee.

"DUDE!!! You rock! That was a great robattle dude!" Cheered Rintaro as he rushed to his Medabot. "Yo dude you feelin' okay?" He asked, poping the Medal back in place.

"Yeah dude." Answered the Medabot with it's very low key voice.

"You did great kid, but not as great as us." Bragged Ikki.

"Dude! Can I be your apprentice?" Suddenly asked the boy.

"WHAT?!? I don't want an apprantice!" Complained the taller boy, taken aback.

Metabee rubbed his chin, lost in toughts"Hmm...that would be cool but I already got an aprantice... but I don't know if Krosserdog need me now..."

Ikki sweatdropped"Metabee! We're not taking an apprantice! We got training to do for the Championship!"

"Dude! I'll train with you!"Proposed Rintaro, jumping up and down.

"No!" Ikki retorked loudly."Com'on Metabee, we're going home, you got damage to repair."

But Rintaro was not going to take no for an answer. He wanted to participate in the World Robattle Championship and he was ready to find all the best mentor he could find to teach him how to be an even better Medafighter. As Ikki and Metabee left, he hauled Kantaroth on his back and started following the pair. Pleading to Ikki.

"COM'ON DUDE!"

"NO!"

"COM'ON DUDE!"

"NO!"

"COM'ON DUUUUDE!"

"NO MEANS NO!!!!"

"Henry would have find this hilarious hehehe...dude!HAHAHAHAH!"Commented Metabee, his laghter only making Ikki more annoyed.

POW!

"DUDE! Don't hit your Medabot!" Complained Rintaro.

To Be Continued...

What is Gillgirl's devious plan? Will Rintaro ever let Ikki alone? Will Ikki and Metabee get the training they need to stay fit for the World Robattle Championship?And will the dent Ikki put on Metabee's head ever go away? Don't miss the next chapter of Third Challenge!
