She was probably around Ikki's age. She was wearing a one piece dark red short sleeved short dress, something very tight and mysterious looking. She had black boots going up to right under her knees, her knees being the only part of her legs visible. She also had long black gloves reaching up to her elbow. The entire outfit was made out of a shiney stretchy substance, some kind of leather or rubber, it was hard to tell for Ikki. When her blood red cape flew away due to some drift in the cave, Ikki spotted a brown letter belt, with small box like pouches on each side. Finally her eye region was covered by a fine red mask, hiding the color of her eyes, their shape and the top front of her nose. Her orange red hair were flowing freely behind her.
Her Medabot was entirely red, from head to toe, only the shading and a triangular black plate in the middle of the upper chest made out the details. It was obviously female. She was sleak and looked clad in a red ninja suit. Her arms were fine and her hands delicate. Her head was round and had a black visor like black hole in wich two pink eyes were shining, and above her eyes was tied a red headband, two long stand hanging from the knot on the back of her hair, the head band was holding a metal plate at her front on wich was engraved a rose, but this one was not painted like the metal saw blades. Ikki and Metabee noticed the Medabot was wearing the same kind of belt as her Medafighter, only at the back of hers was a metallic object in an horizontal sheat. Ikki and Metabee knew it to be a kunai, they had watched a ninja movie recently.
"Shadow Rose K?" Gasped Gillgirl, taking a step back. "I've heard of you! What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to save Ikki and Metabee." Answered the girl, in a tone that was leaving no doubt about the level of her determination.
"Wow...she knows our name." Commented Metabee.
"Geez...why is it that every masked wacko in town knows my name before I know their's!" Complained Ikki before his Medabot slapped the back of his head.
"Don't call the nice super-hero girl a wacko! You don't insult cute girls, especially when they come to rescue you!" Lectured the KBT.
"Enough! DESTROY THEM!" Roared Seaslug.
The Noctobats started to fly forward, readying their Psycho Missile launcher, Shadow Rose K smirked. "REDROGUE! Attack mode!"
The Medabot, RedRogue, leaped into the air, opening the pouch on her sides and grabbing a handful of mini saw blades, 3 on one side, 4 on the other.
HTN-51465
RedRogue, Hattori Ninja -type
Medafighter: Shadow Rose K
Special Attack: Agility
RedRogue shot her projectiles. The saw blades started spinning as they sailed through the air. The female ninja flipped in the air before landing feet first on top of one of the Noctobat's head. The saw blades took incredible trajectory and went right through 7 Noctobat's head! Including the one RedRogue landed on, feet first. Just as the Noctobat's medal ejected she used it to propelled herself higher into the air, almost reaching a huge stalactite hanging from the dark ceiling. All 7 Medals were ejected almost at the same time, and then the bodies landed, first the one RedRogue had jumped on, then the others. The seven saw blades did once again an incredible trajectory and went up to RedRogue. The blades started to spin around her, just like those around Ikki and Metabee while she was starting her descent. There was about 20 Noctobats left and they all opened fire.
Shadow Rose kept her cool as the 50 some missiles sailed toward her Medabot. She opened her own pouches and grabbed a few blades of her own on each hand. With determination showing through her masked face, she three the blades. She took out about five or so missiles while the other were intercepted by the ones circling around RedRogue. The force of the explosion threw her backward and she did a great backflip before landing in front of Shadow Rose, still surrounded by her whirlwind of blades. Six Noctobats were suddenly hit from the back of their head by the six extra blades Shadow Rose herself had thrown, but she didn't catch them as they flew above her. Ikki and Metabee followed as they passed above them as well and shreded two BAT Medabot that were sneaking up on them. Finally the blade return and the mysterious girl skillfully catched them as well. The boy and his Medabot were incredibly impressed, it wasn't just the Medabot, but the Medafighter who was skilled as well!
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!? How can they do that?" Shrieked Seaslug completly stunned.
"You fiend cannot comprehend nor counter the power of the Tekage no Jutsu." Declared RedRogue, in a voice that sounded strangely familiar to Metabee.
"Tekage No Jutsu..."Repeated Ikki.
"You feel it too right?" Asked Metabee.
"Yes...their aura...it's a void...just like Koji's..."Answered the Medafighter.
"I didn't know the Shadow Sword could do that." Commented the Medabot.
Before anyone could react RedRogue dashed forward, she threw two more blades from both hand before leaping into the air. The two flying metal projectile pierced the head of two Noctobats and then of two more before they could react. The changing trajectory of the flying weapon was unpredictable. The ninja Medabot layed a powerful punch threw her defense barrier, hitting yet another of the bat Medabot in the face before the seven blades circling her at almost sonic speed thore through him, shredding his front armor. RedRogue landed before the Medal and body felt. In the meantime Shadow Rose turned around and slowly walked toward Ikki and the badly injured Metabee. She slowly walked through the still spinning defense, their trajectory curving either inward or outward to allow her safe passage. Ikki was just able to stare, not a word escape his mouth, impressed by the sheer skill of the girl. Meanwhile her Medabot was being showered by missiles as her two blades were taking out the remaining Noctobats with frightening ease that scared the living daylight out of the Rubberobo. A group of them had already left in panic. Shadow Rose kneeled in front of the Medabot and Medafighter, her expression changed from a harsh battle face to a more caring mood.
"Here, I have so Regen-Pads." She said, handing a few of the white pads used to stimulate and increase the nanobots-based regeneration process.
"Th...thank you." Finally managed to say Ikki, as he started to apply the pads all over Metabee's damaged body.
"You're welcomed."Replied the mysterious masked girl, smiling.
Her smile made Ikki suddenly feeling mushy, as if he was melting. Once again he found himself speechless. This girl was amazing. She was a great fighter herself, had a great Medabot, she could be both ruthless with the bad guys and incredibly nice to others. Even Metabee wasn't impervious to her charm since he stayed silent as well, or maybe he was impressed by RedRogue's total domination of the Noctobats Swarm...or at least what was left of them.
----------
Henry and ArcBeetle quickly found the hidden elevator shaft. A large concrete tree was rather easy to find among the skinny tree of the forest. Those robos weren't that smart, but he didn't really expected otherwise. ArcBeetle wasn't in fighting form but he could still use his laser and he easily blasted the door open. Without a word they both knew what to do and slipped down the elevator shaft, Henry using the service ladder and ArcBeetle sliding down the cable, since he couldn't get rope burn. The Medabot reached the bottom first and landed on top of the cart. His Medafighter met up with him after a few minutes. Slowly he opened up the latch and ArcBeetle leaped down, laser ready, the human followed, pulling out his metal cane. The elevator door was shut and with ease the pair opened up the door and silently stepped into a corridor. It was empty. Sounds of battle could be heard and frantic Rubberobo Grunts were running in the distance, at one end of the said corridor... apparantly someone was winning. Henry chuckled, he didn't have to worry about Ikki for now, and thus headed the otherway.
ArcBeetle was keeping his servos as silent as possible as he walked behind his Medafighter, laser ready to shoot at any sign of trouble, soon they found a little room were two Rubberobos were watching monitors, while typing at a keyboard. The monitors were showing various angle of a large room were Metabee was handling two Medabot, a Yeti and a Thunderbird type. It wasn't going very well for Ikki and Metabee, but Henry was confident. Now he had to take out those guards. He motionned for ArcBeetle. The two slowly and silently crept into the dark room, each behind one of the grunt. Henry raised his cane and ArcBeetle readied his arm. In one swift and synchronous motion they both knock out the guards with one solid hit on the head. The two Robos felt face first on their keyboard, large round bump coming out of their hood and swirls in the eyes.
"Security room secured." Chuckled Henry as he pushed one of the knocked out guard and started typing.
The view on the monitor changed to other rooms and finally he found the kitchen. Chidori was working there with a Rubberobo Grunt...she seamed to be...cooking. Henry looked at the scene puzzled for a second and then he brought up a plan of the base and found the way to the kitchen.
"Let's go! It's that way!" Declared the young man, leading the way out.
"Good night." Added ArcBeetle, saluting the knocked out grunts.
The two sailed through the corridors like a pair of spectres. Suddenly footsteps were heard. Two grunt turned the corner, only finding an empty corridor, not that they expected otherwise. They were talking about getting some soup while everybody was busy. Henry didn't care as he fell from the ceiling with ArcBeetle, knocking out the two rubberclad men. They had to pull the two knocked out grunt a few more meteres until they found some kind of closet. ArcBeetle opened it and jumped back in surprise or fear, aiming lasers inside the room.
"ArcBeetle! What's going on?" Asked the Phantom Renegade as his Medabot stood down.
"That closet is filled with deactivated Medabots." Explained the red KBT.
He was right, in the closet, who was more like a small storage room, could be seen the inanimate body of Mystighost, Foxuno, the Landmotors, Spidar, Saldron, Agadama, the Extreme Medabots, some spare Noctobats and even some unknown Medabots that Henry never saw. They unceremonously shove the two uncouscious Rubberobo into the room and closed it. No time to loose. After turning another corner, climbing a flight of stairs and going through yet another corridor, Henry found the kitchen door. Henry pulled a small sphere from a pocket before slightly opening the door. Through the crack he threw the sphere and closed the door as it hit the ground. From the small device sleeping gas quickly invaded the room and everybody felt asleep. The young man and KBT Medabot stepped into the room, luckily Chidori hadn't been hurt when she felt asleep. The kitchen was big and very well tended, those Robos knew how to take care of a large number of person, that was for sure. For safety reason Henry shut down all appliances, he didn't want those robos needlessly hurt. On one side of the room was a huge baywindow. Looking through it, Henry saw Ikki and Metabee, on the ground and surrounded by little device through the air. They were in that strange dome with a caped girl while a red Medabot was standing nearby, protected by the same kind of whilrwind as Noctobats felt from the air, striken by an unknown force. Henry didn't had time to ponder on it, Ikki looked up to him just at the right time and the man gave him an 'OK' sign and a thumb up. Hopefully the boy would understand and get out of there as well.
"Allright ArcBeetle, take the lead, were getting out of here, I'll carry Ms. Tenryo!" Declared the Phantom Renegade.
-------------
"Metabee!" Gasped Ikki after looking up to where was held his mother.
"What?"Asked the confused Medabot.
"Hen... I mean... the Phantom Renegade, he saved mom!" Answered the boy.
"Then we have to keep the Robos occupied and distracted until we can be sure he's out." Proposed Shadow Rose K, getting up.
RedRogues twin blade just hit two of the remaining Noctobats, but instead of going through them as usual, the blades got stuck halfway through! It was enough to make them cease functionning and drop to the ground.
"What's goin' on Rosey? Why is it that Red's blade aren't as powerful as before?" Asked Metabee, in a rude manner, sign that he was feeling better.
"Shadisvara is depending on the strength of one's opponent, now that most opponents are gone, our power isn't as high as before... in fact I have to recall my own blades." Answered Shadow Rose, as her own blades started landing on her glove, one by one.
"GET THAT RED MEDABOT!!!" Raged Seaslug, incredibly angry.
Two more blades escaped RedRogue's defense circle just after she was once again hit by a volley of missile. A blade had been blown off to the ground by one of the explosion, thus there was only 4 blades surrounding her now, but there was only 6 Noctobats. They all let loose their Psycho Missiles.
"RedRogue! You can't block all those missiles with only 4 blades! Use your agility!" Ordered Shadow Rose K.
RedRogue did a series of backflip to get away from the blast, then two Noctobats felt as her two blade impacted on the back of their head. The female Ninja Medabot landed on her two feet before cartwheeling to the side, avoiding yet another series of blast before leaping into the air and letting loose all of her four blades. Two hit their mark but just the last two were about to hit the Noctobats, a blurred figure came in front of them and sent them right back at RedRogue who skillfully caught them.
"Who's that?" Asked Metabee.
Betweem the two Noctobats and RedRogue was standing a white Medabot, holding a katana. It looked like it had gloves and large pants. It was male and he looked like he had hait held in a pontail but it was solid, his eyes were yellow and under the right one he had a little black triangle. He was pointing his weapon toward the Hattori-Ninja -type Medabot.
"Now that she's weakened you can take her down Whitesord!" Declared Seaslug, showing off his own Medawatch.
SIN-19914
Whitesord, Samurai -type
Medafighter: Seaslug
Special Attack: Sword
"Noctobats...give me cover fire." Said Whitesord in a raspy, almost whisper like voice.
But he never got his cover fire, as the two Noctobats felt to the ground.
"I don't like bats." Commented Shadow Rose K, it was her own blades who had taken them by surprise.
"Doesn't matter, Whitesord can take down an army of Ninja Medabots!" Gloated Seaslug, before bursting in evil laughter.
"Be careful RedRogue, you're gonna run out of saw blades if you use them carelessly. We'll have to use our secret weapon." Pointed out Shadow Rose.
"THEN IT'S AGREED!" Suddenly shouted Mr. Referee, coming from behind the boulder where he was hiding.
"Uh?!?" Everybody, save Seaslug and Shadow Rose called at the same time.
"I officially declare this a submission Robattle betweem Seaslug's Whitesord and Shadow Rose K's Redrogue! Medafighter ready?" Called the man, looking at both Medafighter who nodded in agreement. "Medabots... ROOOOO-BATTLE!"
"RedRogue! Shoot saw blades at him and keep your distance!" Ordered Shadow Rose K.
"Whitesord, get in there!" Ordered Seaslug.
"Me and Metabee will make sure the Robos don't try to attack us from behind." Proposed Ikki, his Medabot was already back to his feet.
"Good... this Robattle won't be that easy... RedRogue is weakening and with only a normal Medabot as opponent she can't have her blade perform complicated trajectory and increase their penetration value at the same time, we have to choose betweem damage and accuracy." Explained Rose to the boy.
In a series of blurred motion RedRogue shot three blades in rapid sucession toward Whitesord. The Samurai barely moved as he diverted all the projectile with his sword, before dashing forward. RedRogue reached behind her back and pulled out her kunai. Whitesord slashed with his right hand and the ninja swung her kunai with her right hand and blocked the attack in a shower of sparks, she quickly followed by a left kick. Whitesord was no fool and he grabbed hold of her ankle with his left hand. The two stayed locked for a few seconds, glaring into each other's optic. RedRogue had to put her left hand to her weapon to help hold off Whitesord's powerful push, that Medabot had incredibly powerful arms, it was probably the most powerful part of his body.
"Not bad, but I have never lost a Robattle and I do not intend to do today." Said the female Medabot.
"We'll see..." Replied Whitesord in his almost whispering voice.
RedRogue was surprised on how chatty that Medabot was for a Rubberobo Medabot, he didn't have a Rare Medal, but he was an ecxeptionnal Medabot, in another setting they could have been great ally. Whitesord let go off RedRogue's leg and they both quickly leaped away from each other. The Samurai quickly pushed himself forward once again with his feet and slashed horizontally. RedRogue backflipped away and landed on a flat rock. With one hand she threw two more blades. Whitesord slashed them away as he rushed toward his opponent, with one powerful downward slash he hit...the rock! The ninja had once again avoided the hit and Whitesord's katana had hit the rock and cleave it in half. She was right, his arms were really powerful. RedRogue landed on her feet a few meters away, still clutching her kunai.
"We need to get out now, no more playing, use our secret weapon!" Ordered Shadow Rose K.
"Secret weapon?" Inquired Ikki.
RedRogue backflipped again and shot her kunai. Something was wrong tough, it was a sloppy shot, with very ridiculous speed. You could almost see the scorn of contempt on Whitesord's face as he easily grabbed the kunai in mid-air with his left hand. He could have easily blocked with his sword but he grabbed the weapon to show off.
"That's it?" Asked Ikki confused.
"That's it?" Asked Whitesord almost at the same time.
"If I were you I'd let go of this kunai... it's filled with C-4." Commented RedRogue, crossing her arms.
Whitesord gasped and looked at the weapon, on it there was a little digital clock where a 2 turned into a 1.
"Drats." Cursed Whitesord as the 1 turned into a 0.
*BOOOM!*
The explosion engulfed Whitesord. Even before the smoke could dissapear the sound of a Medal hitting the ground was heard. The smoke cleared and Whitesord's charred remain could be seen, his left forarm had been blown clear off, his fingers scattered around him.
"FUNCTION CEASED! THE WINNER IS REDROGUE!"Shouted Mr. Referee.
Seaslug collapsed to his knees. The Medal had flown all the way to his feet. He quickly grabbed hold of it and grasped it solidly before bolting back to his feet, he looked, to say the least, pissed off.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! NO MORE GAMES! Robos... SELF-DESTRUCT THE BASE!!!" He shouted.
Suddenly a door right behind Ikki and Shadow Rose K slammed shut as the whole cave started to rumble loudly
"HAHAHAHAHA! WE'LL DIG YOUR MEDAL OUT ONCE THE MINE COLLAPSE ON YOU!" Bragged Seaslug as the secret door felt in front of him, cutting the escape route for Ikki, Metabee, Shadow Rose K and RedRogue.
"This way!" Called Mr. Referee, leading the way into the hole from wich he came.
Sadly, a second later, before Ikki and the others could react, a huge rock felt from the ceiling and blocked the hole!
"Oh no! WE'RE TRAPPED!" Realised Ikki.
"We need to blow the door open!" Declared Shadow Rose, pointing to the door.
"I'll take care of that! MISSILE LAUNCHED!" Called Metabee.
His missiles sailed through the air while the cave kept on rumbling. A stalactite felt from the ceiling and hit one of the two missiles, making it explode before the impact. The other hit the steel door, only making a huge dent in it, but not piercing it.
"It didn't work!" Realised Ikki, as a rock felt near him.
"Looks like we'll finished crushed in here... at least mom's safe." Sighed Metabee.
"Don't give up...someone's coming!" Declared K.
"What?" Asked Ikki.
She didn't have to answer him because at that exact moment two blades slashed through the steel door. A large triangle shape felt to the ground. Ikki smiled happilly as he saw who was behind, it was Koji and Gwen!Gallahaste and Sumilodon had used their potent sword to cut the steel door down. He dashed toward them along side Shadow Rose K, not giving them anykind of explanations.
"WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" He called as the main cave started to fall appart.
"What about your mom?" Inquired Gwen as the rescuers follow their friends.
"The Phantom Renegade got her!" He answered.
"And who is THAT?" Asked Koji, pointing to the masked girl and her red Medabot.
The girl waved at Koji before introducing herself and her Medabot"I'm Shadow Rose K, this is RedRogue."
As they ran, avoiding falling rocks, Ikki met up with Gwen. "I tought I told you to stay home... thanks anyway." He said.
"Well once I finished my pizza I got Spike to watch over your house...he owed me one for a Medapart I lended him, and then I called Koji, just in case the Robos didn't kept their word...guess I was right." She replied.
"I tracked your Antvara down through this mine." Added Gallahaste.
The small group avoided a huge rock that felt in the middle of the way, leaving just enough place on both side to allow them to pass. The rumbling was getting louder and louder... the tunnel behind them was collapsing! Nobody said a word as it was crystal clear: run faster. Everybody felt silent, concentrating on running. Soon light could be seen at the end of the tunnel, but the collapsing was gaining on them... at the last second they all jumped out of the mine just before being buried alive by rocks. RedRogue and Shadow Rose K used their acrobat-like skill and hit the ground hand first before front-flipping back to their feet, while everybody else just felt down on the dirt.
"Thank you Ikki...now my clothes are all dirty." Complained Koji.
"That was a great escape." Commented a new voice...well not really new, it was familiar but nobody expected HER to be there.
"Space Medafighter X?" Asked Koji looking up.
Space Medafighter X and her Medabots were standing before them, arms crossed. That's when the group noticed what was going on around them. There was a whole squadron of large white armored vehicule that looked like a cross betweem an amphibious tank and a police jail truck. There was a bunch of uniformed people with odd helmet running around, some of them were rounding up a bunch of Rubberobo Grunts. There was also two helicopters flying over heard accompagnied by flying Medabots.
"What's going on?" Asked Ikki.
"This is the Select Corps, they are a special unit created to fight Medabots crime all around the world. I pulled a few favors and got them to arrest the Robos." Explained X while everybody got up.
One of the uniformed man walked toward X and saluted her, surprising the gang. "M'am, we capture 97 Rubberobo Executive so far, a few more are being tracked through the forest but the 4 Generals and the 3 unknown lieutenant can't be found anywhere." Declared the Select Corp agent.
"Thanks trooper...but no need to call me 'm'am', I'm not an agent anymore." Pointed out Space Medafighter X, before saluting the agent who then left to return to his duty.
"Thanks for the help Shadow Rose, I know you don't like to fight but I guess it was nessecary, I'll get you a replacement kunai next time we see each other." The declared the masked woman, turning to the girl.
"It was nothing. I like to help people." Answered the girl smiling. "Well Ikki, Koji, Gwen, me and RedRogue will have to go now."
"Say hi to your mom for me!" Called X as suddenly K and RedRogue dissapeared in a blur.
"HEY! How does she knows our name?" Asked Ikki, confused. "And how come you know her?" He added, turning to X.
"Well me and her mom used to do some...work together." Answered Kasumi, smiling underneath her mask.
Suddenly another explosion seam to rock the ground and the mountain top burst open as something rocketted" through the air. It was a black vehicule with grey wings and red marking, it looked a bit like a flying car and was leaving a pitch black smoke trail behind it as it fly away in a cockscrew motion. A voice could be heard shouting loudly... it was Seaslug.
"THIS IS NOT OVER TENRYO!!!!"
"Why does this feel familiar?" Asked Metabee, scratching his head.
"Anyway... forget about him Ikki, one of our agent found your mom! She was in the forest, sleeping! Nobody knows how she got there but she's over the Med-Car. Let's go see her." Proposed X, leading the way.
"You'll have to thank the Phantom Renegade for that." Explained the boy, quickly following the masked woman with his mismatched Medabot by his side.
Everybody followed, with Sumilodon and Spiritus holding the rear, discreetly holding hands... well as much as it wasp ossible for Spiritus with her weirdly shaped hands. For now things were looking up, the Robos had lost an important base, lost a lot of troops, Ikki had found his mom and will soon find his father already by her side through some sort of odd twist of luck that no one will bother explaining. The tournament would soon begin and the Robos quickly forgotten. Ikki and the gang had met a new ally, the mysterious Shadow Rose K, but they weren't aware of a new enemy lurking around them. Nobody noticed, nor detected, that the mysterious Kinlyu Fuuma had watched the whole escaped.
"RedRogue... I'll get you back...or destroy you trying!" Declared the ninja.
Meanwhile, on the otherside of the Pacific...a mysterious light entered Faros's body...
To Be Continued...
What other adventures await our heroes? What will Kinlyu do next? Will the Robos get their revange? What is this mysterious light that entered Faros's body? Will any of this affect the tournament? Don't miss the next chapter of Third Challenge!
