Gwen ran back inside the house, no way she was letting her friend run off without any cover and went directly for the phone. Gallahaste followed behind, puzzled.
"I tought Lord Ikki's desire were clear. We cannot involve the others in this matter, so what are you doing my dear?" Inquired the Knight.
"I can't let Ikki risk it all like that. I know he doesn't want Erika to be endangered so I'm just calling Koji, and if I can reach her, Alexia. I'm sorry I had to lie to Ikki but that boy can be so stubborn at time." The girl explained as she started to dial.
Gallahaste reached up and pressed the hang up button (whatever that thing is called) on the phone, cutting the call short. "Are you sure about what you are doing? We gave our words of honor to them we would not call for the others. You do realise it is Ms. Tenryo you are endangering if you ask Lord Koji and Sumilodon for back up. I believe in my friend's ability, have faith little Gwen, and everything will be fine."
Gwen sighed, defeated. "You're probably right...you always are Gallahaste. I probably would be a much diferent girl if it wasn't for your wise words guidance... I might have ended up as foolish and stubborn as Ikki!" She said, giggling at her own joke.
"Hehehe...true...very true, and not only for Lord Ikki, for both him and Metabee are very much alike." Chuckled the KNT.
Gwen picked up the phone once again, drawing puzzled look from her Medabot once again. "I'm calling for Pizza, NO WAY I'm waiting here and being all nervous on an empty stomach! Once I ate we'll call Koji, not for backup, but for pick up team, make the escape much faster."
"Splendid idea. In the meantime we can only hope for the best." Agreed Gallahaste.

Kasumi got in a defensive position as wind started to blow. Leaves were starting to rustle all around the 3 Medabots and lone woman. The four formed a defensive circle, covering each other's dead angle. Spiritus and X's Shadow Sword were unleashed at full power, forming beautiful blade of shadow energy, but the time was not right for aestethic, this was serious. Suddenly, out of the trees foliage four Shuriken flew out at incredible speed, one from each direction our heroes were facing. X, Syren and Spiritus quickly blocked with their sword, while Seagaru easily got rid of hers with a very accurate laser beam. Space Medafighter X growled angrily.
"Who IS this guy?" Asked Syren, exasperated.
"If Kasumi is a samurai, then this guy is a ninja." Answered Spiritus, "And he's a criminal."
"And his name is..."Started Seagaru, keeping her guard up as she spoke slowly.
"Kinlyu Fuuma!"Declared the male voice.
In a quick blur a figure bursted out of the woods, landing in front of the team on the other side of the clearing. It was a man, about the same age as Kasumi, and the same height. He was dressed in a red traditionnal ninja costume with loose sleeves and pants. He had long black stocking and black gloves. He was wearing the traditionnal ninja sandals, save that his were made out of metal not bamboo. He had a solid red helmet on, it was round and protected his head and forehead, his eyes and the top of his nose were almost hidden by it, and the bottom of his nose, his mouth and chin were hidden by a triangle mask like structure built into the helmet, underneath it he was wearing a black hood that was flowing down on his shoulder. On the fore head was a gold metal disk with a asian dragon in a circle position engraved on it, the disk was held in place by a thin dark red bandana tied behind the helmet, leaving two red strand floating into the air. Crossing his chest was a black belth reaching to his back where it was holding the two biggest four pointed shurikens ever seen, there was big enough to show from the front, while on the front of the belt was strapped a foot long silvery metal rod. The rod had a disk on each end, it was made to mimic the look of a scroll. The man also had two shoulder pads that looked as if they were made out of bamboo, reminiscent of a fox -type Medabot's shoulder (i.e. Foxuno) and on his side, straped around his leg and linked to his black belt were two box -like leather pouch, probably his shuriken and kunai reserve. The man stood stiffly, observing his opposition, he wasn't in any defensive pose but it was evident he was ready to move like the wind if nessecary. There was an incredible pressure that could be felt in the air, even the birds and bugs had stop any sound, and only the howler of the wind remain.
"I am Kinlyu Fuuma, last descendant of the Fuuma clan. Remember this Medabot for I will soon shatter your body and Medal." Coldly declared the man, making Syren step back slightly.
" I see you took the time to get a new costume after you escaped from jail." Replied X, glaring back at him.
"Yes I'm back X... you really tought you could kept me inside this plastic bubble of yours for the rest of my life? You should know better than anyone that there is Shadisvara in other substance, not just metal. I simply took my time mastering the technique before I could slice the door open with one of their little plastic knife. It's impressive how razor sharp a simple prison bowl can get with the right technique, they make suficiant throwing weapon." Commented Kinlyu, chuckling at some mental image.
Syren gasped in realisation. "That guy got the Shadow Sword!?"
"No... the Shadow Sword was a technique developed by and for samurais...this fiend uses the Tekage no Jutsu... the ninja equivalent. He and his Medabot where a very effective assasin team. They thore through Japan's museum 3 years ago, stealing precious artifacts for themself, nobody could stop them because of their abilities." Explained Seagaru.
"That's why the Select Corps contacted us to take him down. They had heard of Space Medafighter X's involvement in the solving of a few Medabot related crime as well as her interest for Archeology. It is while facing him that Kasumi got the scar on her face. The battle was intense but in the end we were victorious and sent him to a special prison where he wouldn't be able to use any metal to perform any Tekage no Jutsu and get out, sadly it didn't turned out as foolproof as expected." Added Spiritus.
"What happened to his Medabot?" Inquired Syren.
"That is what I want to know as well." Interupted Kinlyu. "Where is she X? Where is my Medabot! I did not spent countless hour training the perfect assistant to see her rot in a Medabot Museum."
Kasumi had a smile under her mask. "She didn't want to kill anymore Kinlyu... she did not want of the criminal overlord future you had planned. I put her in the hands of a good friend of mine who then gave her to her own daughter. She has a new body and a new name now and her Medal couldn't be happier now that she doesn't have to harm others...far from it. I should know, I saw her just recently."
"You...you turned my precious killing machine into a little kid toy? What kind of body did they gave her X? Get ready, I will now get my revenge on you, not just for me, but for my Medabot as well! Once I finished with you, you will tell me all I want in exchange for a quick death!" Roared the Ninja, taking a fighting stance.
"Everyone, stay back! He's mine!" Called X, getting ready.
Kinlyu pulled his hand back and reached for his huge shurikens. He held one through the hole in the center and brought it in front of him, hiding one of his eye. In one swift motion he reeled it back, setting it aspin while still holding on to the huge piece of metal.
"Get ready to feel the bite of the metal dragon X!" Shouted the ninja, swinging his arm around and throwing his shuriken.
But his aim was incredibly off, the weapon sailed toward the woods to his side. Syren realised this was all a diversion as Kinlyu reached for his back again and this time drew out a knife, with a foot long blade before dashing toward Kasumi with inhuman speed. His sandals were glowing of dark light. Using the Tekage No Jutsu techniques Kinlyu was able to increases his speed by expelling dark energy through his metalic sandals. The red ninja slashed, only to find Kasumi blocking his quick assault with her Shadow Sword. The two blades were stuck, only separated by black energy. Syren gasped when she noticed something even more impressive than Kinlyu's Shadisvara based propeller shoes... his shuriken pulsated with dark energy as it changed it's course in mid-air and was flying in a large curve, now sailing straigh for Kasumi's exposed side.
"LOOK OUT!" Shouted the Medabot.

Ikki and Metabee reached the top of a small hill and found themself overlooking a mine entrace on the side of a large cliff, there was a few ruined wooden buildings and shacks and a few mine cart laying on their side.
"You sure that's the place? It doesn't look like it." Commented Ikki.
"That's because it's not in crayon, and there's no stickmen with antenaes." Pointed out Metabee.(AN: I love that joke :p )
"Allright...let's go save mom." Declared Ikki, taking a step forward.
He triped on a rock and fell, rolling down all the wya to the bottom of the rocky hill. Metabee slided down to his bruised Medafighter.
"Dude...you okay?"He asked.
"Yeah...but that did ruined my heroic charge." Complained the boy. "Nevermind that, we have Robos to Robattle!"
And the two headed to the darkness of the mine, into the darkness of the Rubberobo Hideout and all the unknown danger awaiting them. Ikki and Metabee were not afraid, they never lost to the Rubberobo Gang and would never, not now with what rested in the balance. They had to protect Chidori, and the Rare Medal.

"Thank you for repairing my suit Ms. Tenryo!" Said Squidgut, sporting a clover shaped patch on his left elbow.
"Oh that was nothing, do you want another bowl of soup?" Replied Chidori with a big smile.
"Yeah!" Agreed the Robo, raising his bowl.
"ME TOO!" Called the other robo present at the same time.
Chidori and two Rubberobo assistant were happily serving soup to a dozen of Robo-Grunts, the four generals, Carpeye, Fingal and Crableg, who had gained the level of single golden antenna but found the rank of general refused to them after the Extreme Medabots fiasco. A Robo-Grunt aproached Seaslug.
"Sir! We've detected Ikki Tenryo and his Medabot at the entrace of the base. We also detected an unwanted intruder, aproaching from the opposite side... the Phantom Renegade!" Explaind the grunt.
"Oh Ikki is coming to visit us, how nice of him." Commented Chidori.
"What?! Gillgirl! What does your genius master plan got to take care of the Phantom Renegade?" Asked Seaslug, confident that Gillgirl's plan would fail in the end.
"Easy, Carpeye, take this and go stop him." Simply answered Gillgirl, tossing the Robo Lieutenant a Medawatch before returning to her soup.
"Yeah yeah m'am..." Growled Carpeye. "Hey wait a minute is that...NO WAY! You...you're letting me use the Mark 0?"
"You're the best Medafighter of your loser trio. Now get going before I change my opinion." Ordered the woman.
"Right!" Carpeye dashed out toward the secret exit leading to the top of the cliff.
"Together Robo-Emperor, we will defeat the famous Phantom Renegade and I'll finally gain my second antenna!"He said to himself as he straped on the black Medawatch.
Carpeye stepped into an elevetor and pressed the button. The doors closed as he sneered in delight. He was sure of his victory.
