Third Challenge,part 5

by:HellRavenmon





Dr. Aki was in an employee's lounge high in the Medabots Corporation building. It was a small, had a couples of seats and sofas, a cofee machine, a snack machine, a few coffee tables and a wall of the room was a large bay window, the busy city could be seen laying at the foot of the tower. Dr. Aki was watching the sun setting, he had a file with plans under his arm. He looked over his shoulder as the door slid open. He had been expecting someone.

"You wanted to see me Dr. Aki?" Asked Rokusho, stepping in with a brand new white cloak on.

"Yes Rokusho...hmm...nice cloak." Replied the doctor.

"Thank you, it's a gift...from Diama and Alexia... so why did you call me?" Answered the wanderer, walking near Dr. Aki.

"I wanted your opinion on these blueprints." Said the doc, kneeling down next to the white Medabot and handing him the folder.

Rokusho took the plans and checked them, he had acquired lots of technical knowledge with Professor Hushi and quickly deciphered them. "This is interesting but why did you want my opinion?"

"Don't you understand? Those are the plans for a KWG mark 2, I realised we never mass produced a version of your model, and I tought this could be a way to honor Professor Hushi's memory and I needed your aproval for this, after all, it is based on you." Explained Dr. Aki.

Rokusho handed the folder back to the Doctor "The design for the arms is very innovative doctor... I think Professor Hushi would be proud of his favorite student. Beside, this is your company, I have no reason to oppose your will."

"Thank you Rokusho." Said the man, standing up. "Do you have any idea how we could name the prototype?"

Rokusho pondered for a moment. "...Professor Hushi's middle name: Hokuto."

"Good idea." Agreed Dr. Aki.

And with that the white Medabot decided it was time to leave, Diama was waiting for him outside, while the Doctor went back to work with Miss Caviar to start building the prototype for the first KWG mark 2. They were both unaware of a certain device that had been implanted in the lounge a while ago by a certain Rubberobo Gang's spy in the company, neither the man or the Medabot knew someone was eavesdropping on their conversation thanks to a little microphone.

It was a nice saturday and Ikki and Metabee were at the Hop-Mart. Metabee was reading the magazines in the rack while Ikki was eating some ice cream, sitting on a stool. He was telling Henry how he had eluded Rintaro a few days before thanks to Metabee's invisiarm.

"That was pretty clever...but maybe you shouldn't be so mean to him, he sounds like a nice kid." commented Henry.

"Yeah but he's just so...hyper. I mean he says 'dude' every three words and he ask me and Metabee for autographs EVERY day! Did YOU have any trouble like that when YOU participated in the Championship?" Asked the boy.

"Nope, I had a few fans but nothing as serious as this guy." Answered the clerk.

"I got another question for ya." Started Metabee, putting back the magazine he had read without paying. "If ArcBeetle is a mark 2 and Kantaroth a mark 3, then why is ArcBeetle more advance?" He inquired.

"Actually the KBT Mark 2 isn't more advance. He's more powerful yes, but speed is reduced compare to you or Kantaroth. Also the Mark 2 was a limited edition, and the Mark 3 is made to look like the original model, you, because it's considered a classic, compared to the lesser known Mark 2. Beside, from what you told me, that Kantaroth doesn't have a Rare Medal, so even more advance he'd be no match for ArcBeetle." Explained Henry.

Once the young man was finished, destiny decided to play another cruel trick on our young hero. Rintaro in person passed the door, followed by Kantaroth, still sporting his painted Medapart.

"Hey what's up dudes!" He cheerfully called.

"Henry, let me introduce you to my...hp...exu...youthful... yeah youthful...fan. Rintaro." Declared Ikki, searching hard through his , albeit usually small, vocabulary as not to hurt the kid feelings.

"Hiya dude!"

"Huh...yeah hi kid. Do you want to buy a Medapart or something"Replied Henry.

"No thanks dude. Hey Ikki, dude, I saw some like...dudes and dudettes in town and they wanna like...robattle you dude! And Koji and X too dude! That's so cool dude I'm gonna get to see you Robattle! Dude!" Explained the 'youthful' boy, jumping up and down.

"Geez, you weren't kidding with the 'dude' thing." Whispered Henry to Ikki's ear before continuing on a normal tone "It was to expect, a lot of people go after the top Medafighters, at first they'll go after you Ikki, then Koji and if they feel confident enough they'll go after Space Medafighter X. I checked the progression of the standings, you were only 1 points ahead of Gwen and Gallahaste, and they actually won 3 robattles lately. You only won 1, against Rintaro, so your still 1 Robattle behind, 1 lost and you'll need THREE wins to stay ahead of her."

"Hmm...maybe I should go meet those challengers and see if they are worthy of me." Declared Metabee, trying to sound like the Warlord he used to be.

"Show 'em dude." Added Kantaroth.

Once again the door open, but this time it was Gwen herself, with Gallahaste and a mysterious girl. She had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Gwen but she looked older, she was wearing baggy beige pants and a purple tank top that had a stylized black dotted red lady bug on the front and she was wearing a red cap with a purple hexagon adorning the front.

"I knew I'd find you here Ikki. How's it going?" Asked Gwen.

"Hello Lord Metabee." Greeted Gallahaste.

"Hey Gallahaste old buddy!" Replied the KBT mark 1.

"Hi Gwen. It's doing fine, look I got a fan!" Bragged Ikki, pointing to Rintaro asking Metabee for his daily autograph, something the Medabot wasn't complaining about. "So who's this with you Gwen?"

"That's my cousin, Lara , she's in town for the weekend and she wanted to meet you." She answered.

"Ikki Tenryo? A pleasure to meet you...it's also a pleasure, to... Challenge you to a Robattle!" Lara said, raising her arm to show her red and black Medawatch.

"You up for it Metabee?" Ikki looked over to his Medabot who nodded in agrement. "YOU'RE ON!"

Suddenly a magazine, falling from aparantly nowhere landed right betweem Ikki and . It was titled 'Referee Weekley' and had none other than Mr. Referee on the cover. To everybody's surprise the picture came to life and the real life Mr. Referee burst out of the cover! Making the two opponents fall back, so startled.

"Then it's agreed!" He called, before Henry started pushing him out of the store.

"No robattles in the store! Take it outside people!" He simply said.

The whole gang there went outside, Henry decided to watched the robattle too, completly forgetting his duty. Lara and Ikki got into position, Metabee ready for anything right in front of his Medafighter.

"Transport Medabot!" Called the girl, teleporting in her Medabot.

Her Medabot was female. Her legs were slender colored a soft purple, just like the tip of her feet were as the rest of her feet and ankle were red. She was wearing a short red armored skirt with medal shaped black part on the front and the side. Her lower torso was purple and she looked like she was wearing a red tank top with another black medal shaped metal piece on the front. Her shoulder pads were big red square with a smaller purple circle on the sides. Her face was purple and her eyes red with black lines coming out of the corner, she had a red helmet with another black hexagon and two little purple antennaes. Both her upper arms where slender and purple and her lower arms red and blocky. On her right arm she had a little laser canon coming out from above her purple hand while her left arm had this big purple block with three black slit on the front coming out of her red forearm.

(AN: I got myself some Medabots Trading Cards and Honey-Force just struck me as being pretty cool looking, so I couldn't help but fit her in my story ^^, some of the Medabots on the cards are pretty cool. Too bad I need to come up with numbers for the serial number.)

"Allright! I officially declare this a Submission Robattle. Medafighter Ready? Medabots... ROOOBATTLE!" Called Mr. Referee.

"Allright Metabee! To your left and fire!" Ordered Ikki.

"Honey-Force! Keep your ground and get ready!" Called Lara.

Metabee dashed to his left and let loose a few blasts of laser canon right at Honey-Force. She quickly reacted and brought her left arm up, as if she was trying to punch the laser blasts! A few inches from her an invisible circle seam to start reflecting light just as the laser blasts basically bounced right off from it, going STRAIGHT BACK at Metabee who was almost caught off guard and could have suffured some damage if he hadn't brought his Golden Medapart up, blocking his own shots.

"Hahaha! How do you like Honey-Force's Reflecting Barrier? She'll return any shot you send at her!" Declared the girl proudly."Honey-Force! Solar Shot!"

Honey-Force aimed with her canon and let loose a long thin orange blast, straight at Metabee who barely dodged by rolling to the side. He returned to his feet and used his more powerful Golden Laser, hoping to pierce through the Ladybug's reflective barrier. Sadly she was ready and blocked with her shield, sending back the powerful laser at his sender. Metabee barely dodged his attack that created a hole in the ground where he used to stand.

"Metabee! That barrier is like a small shield, only it reflect lasers, all we need is keep it busy. You need to get in there fast... I know just the way to do it! Remember Spydar?"Called Ikki.

"Sure I do! I gotcha Ikki!" Replied Metabee, returning to his feet. "MISSILE LAUNCHED!"

Honey-Force gasped as Metabee's twin missiles sailed toward her. She quickly reacted and used her barrier to knock them back toward Metabee! But the KBT was ready. He ducked under the missiles that exploded right behind him, the force sending him sailing toward Honey-Force with great speed. He was aiming to deliver a powerful punch with his right fist, but the LDB brought her shield up. Metabee's fist hit the invisble barrier, feeling the strength of his own punch being returned through his arm causing masive damage. But the point was that the plan worked! He was in perfect position to deliver a Golden Laser right on target.

"You took the bait hook and sinker! time to kiss your bug goodbye! GOLDEN LASER!"

In a hail of laser and shrieks of pain Honey-Force felt back. There was the sound of electrical cackles and the Ladybug's red eyes went dull.

"FUNCTION CEASED! THE WINNER IS METABEE!" Shouted Mr. Referee.

"DUDE THAT WAS SO COOL!" Cheered Rintaro.

"Good job guys." Congratulated Henry.

"That was a great Robattle." Agreed Gwen.

Lara went over to her Medabot and helped her up, replacing her Medal in place. Metabee and Ikki aproached.

"You allright Honey?"Asked Metabee.

"Yeah...thanks for your concern." Replied the female Medabot.

"Ikki, thanks for the Robattle. You're worthy of the third place." Congratulated Lara, shaking his hand.

"You're not bad yourself. I'd say great robattling skills run in the family." Commented Ikki returning the shake.

"I'll be going now, Honey needs some repair. You can stay if you want Gwen." Then added the girl, looking over to her cousin.

" Allright, see ya later cuz!" Called Gwen.

Ikki waved as the girl headed back home. "Bye!"

"Maybe we should repair those damage you got. My Medawatch says your right arm is down to 50% Metabee." He then pointed out.

"And your back seam badly scratched." Added Gwen.

"Come inside the store Ikki, the repairs pads will be on me!" Proposed Henry.

Metabee took a step toward the store when he steped onto something he hadn't noticed... he didn't had the chance to notice what it was before it exploded right under his feet! There was a large flash that blinded Ikki and Metabee. Two shape suddenly landed in front of him.

"Not so fast Ikki Tenryo!" Called a voice that sounded familiar.

"We challenge you to a Robattle!" Added a Female Medabot's voice.

Right in front of Ikki, Metabee, Gwen, Gallahaste, Rintaro, Kantaroth and Henry, stood none other than... Gillgirl of the Rubberobo Gang! Next to her was a female Medabot that looked somewhat like a ninja. It was her personnal Medabot, Mahiro.

"Me and Mahiro want to Robattle you and we don't have time to wait for you to repair yourself." Said Gillgirl, holding out her Medawatch.

"You're on!" Called Metabee.

"Yeah, it's not some little damage that's gonna make us backdown!"

"Are you sure it's safe Ikki?" Inquired Henry.

"Com'on, it's just the Rubberobo Gang!" chuckled Ikki, definitly not impressed.

"Then it's agreed!" Once again said Mr. Referee who was just about to leave the scene. "I officially declare this a Submission Robattle betweem Ikki's Metabee and Gillgirl's Mahiro!" He continued as the Medafighters and Medabots took battle position on the sidewalk."Medafighter ready? Medabots... ROOOOOBATTLE!"

"Allright! Attack mode Metabee!" Shouted Ikki.

"Attack mode Mahiro! Shoot him with your Spider Bombs and then use the Spider Field strategy!" Ordered Gillgirl."Fool...if only he knew this is just a diversion... even if I loose, his Rare Medal will be ours no matter what happen!"She tought, chuckling evily inwardly.
