Third Challenge,part 6

by:HellRavenmon





Mahiro pulled out her knife, holding it blade down in her left hand as usual as she dashed to the left, avoiding Metabee's laser volleys. Quickly the Iga Ninja -type swung her right hand, revealing the hole through wich her spider are ejected, sending about five or six of them toward Metabee.

"LOOK OUT! THEIR EXPLOSIVE!" Warned Henry, perfectly aware of a IGA type's capabilities.

"WHA?!?" Gasped Metabee, brining his arms up to protect his body as the projectiles exploded creating blinding puff of smoke.

"Right Arm, 55% Damage." Stated Ikki's Medawatch, the damage from the previous damage were soon going to take their toll on his Medabt's right arm.

"Dude! That's like...totally uncool!" Complained Rintaro.

"Dude." Simply agreed Kantaroth.

Mahiro took the chance while Metabee was distracted to stop and turn around completly running toward the right, but this time, circling Metabee! When he realised what was going on she was already behind him. He quickly turned around expcting an attack but it never came. The Iga-Ninja was much more nimble than he was but she wasn't using it to her advantage, for some reason she was just circling around him. Metabee tried not to get tricked like Krosserdog and minimized his spin, still keeping an eye on Mahiro, trying to shoot her on a few ocassion, everytime missing by mere inches.

"What is she doin' Ikki?"Asked the Medabot, confused.

Ikki had noticed what was going on before Metabee could ask. "She's laying down those spiders! she's surrounding you with explosive! Try to get out!" He called.

"It's too late to try to escape now!" Declared Mahiro as she saw Metabee moving foward. "Your feet are too big to avoid stepping on my spiders and there isn't enough space around you to make a running jump. You're trap into my web little metal beetle!"

"Ikki! She's right!" Replied Metabee.

"Don't worry there has to be a way!" Said the boy.

"Don't give up guys!" Cheered Gwen.

Rintaro was estatic"DUDE! Kick her butt dude! You totally rock dude!"

"Calm down dude." Groaned Henry.

Metabee had been quickly surrounded by a real field of spider, all placed neatly into a circular grid around him, the perfect size to neutralize his big blocky feet.

"Get in for the kill Mahiro!" Ordered Gillgirl.

Mahiro, who had circled away from Metabee suddenly leaped into the air, right above the spider field without any trouble! She was holding her knife in one hand while cupping that hand with the other. Metabee barely had the time to dodge to the side and retaliate by the most powerful kick he could muster, but Mahiro saw it coming a mile away. Metabee's legs were too slow compared to her, and she brought her feet forward and bounced off the KBT's leg with great ease, black flipping into the air and landing gracefully in her own spider field, her tiny feet not touching any spider.

"Just as a spider can walk on its web without sticking, I can walk through mine without danger! This Spider Bomb Web will be your doom!" The ninja said grimly, before returning to her circling motion, as fast as usual, and this time displaying her incredible agility as well.

It was as if every one of her footstep was carefully and mathematically planned, for not only was she ninja-like silent but she was not stepping on any of her spider bomb. As she ran around Metabee in a counter clockwise manner she quickly got closer and with incredibl skill she slashed his already damaged back with her knife. Metabee shouted in pain, forced to make a few steps forward due to the blow he stepped on one of the spiders who exploded on contact, making him backaway, slightly blinded by the explosion.

"METABEE!" Called Ikki, scared.

"Warning! Warning! Medal Hatch Damage, Medal protection compromised. Warning! 20% damage to legs."Droned the lifeless voice of Ikki's Medawatch.

The watch was right, Metabee's Medal hatch nowh and a big crack and Ikki could see faintly the bottom part of his Medal! Gillgirl was good, much better than she used to be. Ikki tought something must have drived her to train and become a better Medafighter.

"You've got him where you wanted Mahiro! Finish it!" Called the Rubberobo.

Mahiro dashd in for the kill. First she shot a lone spider to keep Metabee blinded and confused and then she deivered a powerful tornado kick right on Metabee's left shoulder! Sending him flying sideways, falling onto her web of Spider bombs! There was a large explosion all around his body that made him bounce off the ground, spin in the air and land on his other side before he was finally thrown out of the big deadly circle, badly damaged and laying on his stomach. His fall had thore a large path in the ring of bombs, on the other side of the center circle was Mahiro, gloating with Gillgirl behind her. There was enough smoke to hide his fact from Ikki's view and he couldn't tell if his optic were still functional, his Medawatch had been overwhelemed by so many damage and Ikki didn't want to wait for it to react to know if he had lost.

"HOLY-MEDAROLLI! METABEE! Are you allright?!?"Asked a nervous Ikki, this was real bad.

"DUDE!!!" Shouted both Rintaro and Kantaroth.

"Augh...I'm down...but...not...out...Ikki!" Finally answered the KBT.

"Warning! Warning! 95% Damage to Right Arm, laser canon innoperative, shut down imminent. Warning! Warning! 65% Damage to Left Arm. Warning! Warning! 55% Damage to legs. Warning! Warning! 60% Damage to body and head.Medal Protection Compromised." Declared the toneless voice of the Medawatch.

"He's still standing! But in bad shape, it won't be a problem right Mahiro? We got an almost unlimited supply of those precious little Spider Bombs and we can do this as many time as we need to take you out and steal your Rare Medal!" Proudly said Gillgirl.

"Traitorous wrench!"Shouted Gallahaste. "Once this Robattle is declared over your smoke screen and spider trickery shall not save you from the metalic bite of my trusty blade!"

"We won't let you steal his Rare Medal!" Added Gwen.

"What are they talkin' about dude?" Inquired Rintaro.

"Hmmm...nothing... hehehehe nothing at all!" Lied Henry.

"Dude! You guys sure make a fuss over nothing dude." Complained the boy.

While the others distracted Gillgirl, nobody noted Ikki talking in his Medawatch, as Metabee slowly rose back to his feet."Metabee! The only way to win is to use their own weapons to distract them! It's time to use that specialty of yours!"

Metabee understood what he meant."Thanks...guys...but I... can handle this! Ikki...let's hope your plan work. " the KBT said, before doing what could have look like taking a breath. "Kiss your bot goodbye! MISSILE LAUNCHED!"

"AH! Mahiro, hold your ground and slice them to pieces!" Ordered a confident Gillgirl as the two missiles were shot out of Metabee's horn and sail towards her Medabot.

The Iga-Ninja switch her blade's position, holding it now like a sword and ready to use it on those foolish missiles. But she gasped when she realised they were not aimed at her! The two projectile parted and went toward the ground at her side. She suddenly remembered where she was...in the middle of what was left of the Spider Field! There was two explosion at her side, taking with it most of the Spider bombs who exploded as well, creating two large deafening series of explosion, raising dirt and all kinds of thing. It's surprising how dirty a sidewalk that large can get. With her ringing audio sensor and her blocked view, Mahiro never saw the next attack coming. Through the cloud of dust came two new missiles, this time...aimed at her.

"MAHIRO!!!" Shrieked Gillgirl as her Medabot was hit by a second assault by Metabee's Seeker Missiles!

The smoking remains of her Medabot landed at the Rubberobo's feet, her medal ejecting.

"FUNCTION CEASED! THE WINNER IS...METABEE!" Called Mr. Referee."Mr. Referee, out."And with that he simply left.

"Dude...I rock." Chuckled Metabee, his missile launchers still smoking.

Everybody cheered on Ikki as he went to check on Metabee. Everybody was expecting Gillgirl to just run away as usual, complaining about how she lost. Nobody expected her to be laughing. The cheering stoped as the gang heard Gillgirl's maniacal laughter.

"What are you laughing about?" Asked Gwen, angrilly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Foolish boy! You have no idea! This Robattle, has hard as it was on you was nothing but a mere diversion! No matter if you won now, soon you will be forced to turn over your Rare Medal!" She answered as she picked up her Medabot.

"What...what are you talking about?" Barked back Ikki, starting to get worried.

"Your father is away for buisness isn't he? There's nobody but the dog to keep your poor mom's company...maybe you should go home and see her...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And with that she threw a smokebomb, when it faded Gillgirl could easily be spotted, running down the street still laughing demently.

"Ikki...I have a bad feeling about this... Let's go home!" Called Metabee.

"HOLD IT!" Shouted Henry, stopping the boy and his Medabot dead on their track."Repair your damage first! You can use Regen-Pads for the Golden Medaparts and the legs, but your Right Arm's laser are useless and your Medal Hatch is damage too much to be repaired like that! You need replacement part."

"Henry! Mom might be in danger! We have to hurry! I got no time to fix up Metabee perfectly! " Complained the boy, as he fished for a few pads in his pocket "Regen-Pads will have to do."

"Listen to him Ikki, you can't rush into what is probably a Rubberobo Trap with Metabee in this state.

"Dude! You're crazy! At least let me help dude! Here, Transport Medapart." Said Rintaro, aiming his transporter beam toward Ikki's Medawatch.

In a burst of light, Metabee's damaged right arm was replaced by a much more advanced looking part, in fact, it looked like Kantaroth's arm!

"Wooh..cool..what's this?"Asked the Medabot.

"Dude! It's Kantaroth's spare Right Arm, I'm lending it to ya dude!" Answered Rintaro.

"And I got something for you too! Transport Medapart!" Added Henry, after pulling out his Medawatch from his pocket.

Metabee suddenly felt his Head and torso part being changed. He suddenly realised what it could mean.Please! Not that butt-ugly mark 2 head part PLEASE!! He tought. When the transport stopped he looked down at his chest...no horn...and it looked like his old one only...

"I'm blue!" He gasped.

"It's the original body of my Medabot, it's slightly dented but it's in perfect condition! Just bring it back in one piece." Explained the lender.

"WOH DUDE! That's so cool dude! It's like the same color as the KBT that Phantom Medafighter dude used in the tournament 8 years ago dude!" Cheered Rintaro.

"Phantom Medafighter?" Repeated Gwen, Gallahaste, Ikki and Metabee, looking sightly toward Henry with puzzlement in their eyes.

"No time to talk about that!" Nervously said the clerk.

"Ikki, sadly we don't have any interesting part to lend you, but we're going with you! Com'on!" Proposed Gwen.

"Right, so LET'S GO! I'M COMING MOM!" Called the Boy, rushing toward his house.

Rintaro was about to follow him but Henry grabed him by the collar."You're not going anywhere, you don't have any experience dealing with the Rubberobo Gang and I don't think you got the skill to do so... now, you go inside and tell my boss I got suddenly sick... I...I got something to do and tell him to replace me for the rest of the day, he doesn't have to pay me for that." He said, pushing Rintaro and Kantaroth inside the Hop Mart.

When the door closed, Henry dashed into a nearby alley, pulling out his Medawatch once again.

"ArcBeetle...I think our friends might need some help." He said grimly, opening a secret cache in the wall, revealing his Phantom Renegade costume.

To Be continued...
