Ikki and Metabee, followed by Gwen and Gallahaste were running toward the boy's home. As they aproached the front yard gwen noticd Karen and Neutranurse walking toward the house from the other side, the girl's limo was parked further down the street. However Ikki didn't even seam to notice the red haired girl as he dashed in through the opened front gate.
"MOM!!!" He shouted when he noticed the door was slightly opened... it had been forced open.
Gwen stopped at the gate to talk to Karen. "Hi Karen, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to see Ikki, I was busy lately and I didn't get a chance to congratulate him for his third place in the standings. Isn't it great? He onl robattled for a year." Answered Karen, giggling sligthly.
"Gallahaste, what is going on?"Inquired Neutranurse.
But he didn't have time to answer as Ikki was head screaming from inside the house. The whole gang, worry showing across their face, entered, finding Ikki and Metabee in the kitchen. Ikki was reading a note. The whole room was a mess, same for the entrce hall for that matter.
"She's not in the house!" Declared Metabee, seeing his friends enter the room.
"She...she...she's been kidnapped by the Rubberobo Gang!" Shrieked Ikki. "It says here they want me and Metabee to go ALONE to Robattle them at one of their hideout, they even gave us a map... they said not to warn the police." He then explained.
Karen gasped, bringing her hands up to her mouth"That's terrible!"
"I hope you are not thinking of recklessy rushing there. It is certainly a trap!" Said Gallahaste.
"We have no choice!" commented Metabee. "Ikki! If you don't want to go it's fine, I'll go alone. She's my mom too... well not in a biological sense but she takes care of me just like she take cares of you."
"Are you crazy? I'm not letting you get all the glory, beside you'd be lost without my strategies. I AM your Medafighter. We're going TOGETHER!" Replied Metabee, holding his to Metabee.
"You and me Ikki, brothers in life, brothers in arm. We'll save mom and bring her home!" Added the Medabot, grabing Ikki's hand.
Karen wiped a tear from her eyes"That is so nice."
"At the very least, let us come with you!" Pleaded Gwen.
Ikki shook his head in protest."No...they want us alone... I have to call dad then we'll go... Gwen, if you could watch over the house while I'm gone, and Salty is hiding under the couch."
He then went over to the phone. While Metabee and Gallahaste argued over the issue of going and rushing head first into a trap, nobody noticed Karen and Neutranurse slipping out in the hall. She grabbed her cellphone and dialed up. A look of serious concern and worry appeared on her face, she looked a lot more decided than she ever was.
"Kasumi? Hi it's Karen, how are you? Good...listen...we...have a situation. Ikki's mom's been kidnapped by the Rubberobo Gang. I think it's time the Legend appears again." She started to explained.
----------
While Ikki called his dad in Nepal, a feet he acomplished with surprising ease, a familiar figure had eavesdropped on the conversations that had taken place in the kitchen. The Phantom Renegade was standing beside ArcBeetle in a nearby tree, he had a long distance listening device in his hand, a pair of headphone on.
"The Rubberobo Gang kidnapped Chidori to challenge Ikki. No doubt they aim to capture his Rare Medal." He commented.
"It is clearly a trap. What do we do?" Inquired ArcBeetle.
"The best thing we can do is follow Ikki and find another entrace to the Robo's hideout, just in case he needs backup. I need to get hold of Rokusho... he might be of help too, same for alexia and Diama, their Shamanic powers would be useful." Answered Henry, even through his mask the KBT mark 2 could tell he was pondering and thinking up a plan.
"Do you have a quarter for the payphone?" He then suddenly asked his Medabot.
With a loud 'clang' ArcBeetle fell off the tree.
----------
"Are you sure you don't want us to call the others to back you up? Koji, Erika, Alexia, Rokusho and Henry?" Asked Gwen as Ikki and Metabee rushed to the door.
"No, this is our duty and our mission, I don't want anybody...especially not Erika... to be endangered because the Robos are afterour Rare Medal." Replied Ikki, making a pause as he mentionned Erika's name.
"I share his feeling on the situation...I don't want to risk them taking Brass's medal. She's not as powerful as Rokusho or Diama or us." Added Metabee.
"I beg to differ Lord Metabee." Stated Gallahaste. "Lady Brass is as capable of handling the low life Rubberobos as any member of our circle of friend. I do share your concern for the safety of the Rare Medals. Mayhaps it would be wise to inform Lords Koji and Sumilodon, they have formidable strength without using a Rare Medal. They would make a safer form of backup."
"You are wise my old friend." Admitted Metabee, bowing his head down slightly, sounding like Helios for a second, and ONLY for a second. "But no way I'm letting Sumilodon outdo me, I'll be the one savin' mom with my pal Ikki. Now kid, it's time for some serious Metabee boppin'!" He cheered.
"See ya later! I'm counting on you to watch the house! " Simply called Ikki, as if he was running to the convinience store to get a carton of milk, his tone hiding the seriousness of the situation.
In the shadows, the Phantom Renegade and ArcBeetle followed the duo. Two more shadows, unknown to whole gang also quickly followed the boy and his bot. Gwen and Gallahaste looked around before going back inside, it was then the girl realised something was missing.
"Hey! What happened to Karen and Neutranurse?"
-----------
Kasumi had quickly reacted after getting Karen's phone call. She had gathered her Medabot and got dressed in a split second. Karen had seen the map the Robos left Ikki and she had relayed the indications to Space Medafighter X. The Rubberobo Hideout was located in an abandonned mine that opens on the side of a cliff, high above it and surrounding it was a lush forest where few went. It was already late afternoon and soon the sun would start to go down. All four of them were racing through the paths in the forest, it was relatively easy and even Seagaru, the slowest of the gang, could keep up without trouble.
X was nervous, she could tell Spiritus was as well, more than the other two. It wasn't just because she feared for Chidori's safety, but also because she felt like she was being followed, followed by a stealthy stalker. It could be just her imagination but on a few occasions she had cauht glimpse of a dark shape in the surrounding forest, just out the corner of her eyes. She heard twig snap as well. She decided to stay alert, it was probably him following her, she was hoping he would not show up now, for now was not the time to put her own fighting skill to the test, for now she had to save Ikki's mom. Spiritus and Kasumi entered the clearing first, it was one of the many clearings in the forest and not the last one before the Robo's hideout. Both of them braked quickly, sliding to a halt and almost making the last two Medabot collide with them. A second later two kunai hit the ground where they would have standed at that moment.
"Great reflexes, just like you used to have X." Declared a male human voice, coming from every direction at the same time.
"It's him." Gasped Seagaru, turning to Syren to emphasis the point.
"This is not the time Kinlyu!" Shouted X, holding her sword hilt, ready to unsheat her Shadow Sword.
Kasumi knew she could not deter the mysterious Kinlyu's determination. She would have to fight him with all her might. She knew she would never reach the Robo hideout in time now, her only hope was that someone else would in time, Ikki and Metabee will need all the help they can get.
-Meanwhile...-
"Am I cutting the vegetables right Ms. Tenryo?"Asked the Rubberobo grunt in an apron.
"Yes, you're doing a wonderful job. " Answered Chidori, smiling as she kept stirring something boiling in a large pot on the oven.
