Third Challenge,part 13

by:HellRavenmon





Ikki, Erika and Brass were sitting on an old crate while Metabee was warming up, flexing his 'muscles' to get ready for his upcomming Robattle. Ikki and Gwen decided on the field of battle together, it was an old abandonned terrain on the edge of town by the railroad track. It was a dry patch of land but not too dusty or sandy, it had almost no irregularities and save for two walls on each side and a few discarded items including crates, oil barrel and a crushed bicycle were present. This field wasn't going to give anybody a tactical advantage during the Robattle. Erika and Brass were showing the result of their research to Ikki.

"So what did you find?" Inquired Ikki.

"Well you already know she's 14th in Japan, mostly because of her lack of Robattle. She did as many official Robattle last year as you and Metabee can do in like...a month!" Started Erika. "I discovered that her signitures blade have been found nearby knocked out Rubberobos and Medabot related criminals over the years. Also it seam she isn't the first Shadow Rose."

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Metabee, his attention grabbed.

" A few years back there was a certain Shadow Rose J who was fighting crime, she was a vigilente, some kind of super-hero! Apparantly her costume is the same as K, but she was older and she wasn't a Medafighter. She dissapeared about 12 years ago. Many rumors still fly around the web about what happened to her. Some say she died, some say she retired, nobody's sure... actually, X might know. Space Medafighter X and shadow Rose J worked together on at least one occasion." Continued the girl. "We took the opportunity to research X... apparatly the name Space Medafighter X is a legal name, it's some sort of barrier to protect her true identity. You can find most of her personnal information save her real face with that name. She worked with the Select Corp once, and that's how she got her official 'nickname' if you wish. It's a very unique situation."

"Hmm...maybe K is J's daughter, X said she knew K's mother... and 12 years ago is about the time where she would be pregnant with K." Proposed Metabee.

Everybody jst stared at him.

"WHAT?!? Can't *I* be smart for once?" Grumbled the KBT.

"Moving on...X has a master in Archeology, a degree in Criminology, she followed Robotics classes but never got her diploma and she won a world-class Kendo competition. She was world champion of her category. She was already the number 2 Medafighter in Japan four years ago but for some reason she was unable to attend the tournament. That's all I can really tell you, if you want more you'll need to find where she lives and ask her yourself." Finished Erika.

"Space Medafighter X, Shadow Rose K, two mystery wrapped in enigmas." Pointed out Brass.

"That sucks." Complained Metabee.

"Shadow Rose K knew us somehow... The Phantom Renegade turned out to be Henry... what tells us we never met K in her true identity." Proposed Ikki.

Erika chuckled"Com'on Ikki, that's ridiculous, why would all the masked weirdos be all around us? You think your the main character of some show or something?" she said before laughing out loud.

"Why do we attract all the costumed weirdos anyway?" Inquired Metabee.

"Life is full of mystery." Suddenly declared Rokusho.

Everybody turned around, the direction the voice came from. Rokusho, Diama and Alexia were standing on top of the stone wall behind them. Alexia was dressed diferently than her usual attire. She was wearing tight brown pants, a blue tank top and on her left hand she had a fingerless black glove. On her right hand and wrist she had a large leather gauntlet that had a...crossbow attached to it! It looked a lot like Diama's crossbow cannon. The three lept down from the wall.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ikki.

"We came to watch the Robattle what do you expect? I'm sorry if I look odd we were training and we almost forgot, I didn't take the time to change." Explained Alexia.

Erika pointed to the crossbow "What is that and what were you doing exactly?"

"You see, this body wasn't the first one I had, I was brought online as a... Sailor-type. But this was not fighting my own abilities so we found this body. You see, I was a master of the Lemurian Crossbow, wich is wore exactly like the one I have right now. Thanks to Rokusho's technical know-how we were able to make one for Alexia, so right now I'm training her for armed combat." Explained Diama.

Alexia took off the large gauntlet, showing she had another fingerless glove on the other side and put down the weapon before sitting down next to Ikki, Erika and Brass.

"It's hard work but it's nice to learn a new skill. So where are Gwen and Gallahaste?" She inquired?.

"They should be here any minute now, it's almost noon." Answered Metabee.

"I tought you didn't like Robattles Rokusho." Inquired Brass.

"I don't really enjoy them, but Diama does." Answered the KWG. "And just like everybody I am curious to the outcome of this Robattle."

"There they are!" Declared Alexia, pointing to the entrace of the field.

The girl and the Knight Medabot calmly aproached the group, there was a calm confidence emanating from them, Gwen was smilling slightly, her anticipation could be seen in her eyes.

Gwen waved at the gang "Looks like we'll have a little audiance... good thing the Screws didn't came as well... altough I think Peppercat told..." she was interupted by a loud shout...

"DUUUUUUDDDE!!!" Called Rintaro, rushing on the terrain, followed by Kantaroth following at the best of his speed.

"...Kantaroth." Finished Gwen, sweatdropping.

"Dude!!! Why didn't you told me you were gonna Robattle Gwen dude? Dude that's so cool!" Complained the short boy.

"Dude." Agreed Kantaroth with his lower key slow voice.

"Allright allright, sorry. Calm down, sit down and you can watch." Proposed Ikki.

"DUDE!!! Kantaroth let's watch dude!" Cheered Rintaro, sitting down on a crate.

"Com'on Ikki! Let's get in place, Mr. Referee should be here any minute." Declared Gwen, walking over the opposite side of the terrain, the train track on one side and the street on the other, facing the gang.

"What do you mean any minutes?" Asked Ikki, taking place with Metabee facing Gwen.

But before Gwen could answer a train whistle was heard. A train quickly passed by, not at full speed but relatively fast. There was a loud scream of terror and Mr. Referee landed hard, face first, on the dirty ground, just as the train dissapeared from view.

"Are you okay?" Asked Alexia as she rushed to Mr. Referee's side with Erika. "What were you doing on that train?"

"I'm...I'm allright... Then it's agreed! I officially declare this a submission...Robattle...betweem Ikki's Metabee and Gwen's Gallahaste..."Started Mr. Referee, getting up with Alexia and Erika's help. "The winner of this Robattle will be declared third Medafighter of Japan... Medafghter ready? " He then turned to Brass who was closer. "Do the hand signal for me please... Medabots... ROOOBATTLE!"

Brass brought down her hand and the two Medabots got in position. Gallahaste unsheated his sword and Metabee aimed his laser repeaters. Both Medafighter and both Medabots stood still, Metabee with his arm up, Gallahaste with his shield up and sword back, ready to swing forward and strike.

"Aww geez... will you guys get some guts and attack!" Complained Erika.

"Com'on DUDE! You can take her on!" Cheered Rintaro.

"Metabee and Gallahaste fought many battles side by side... and one battle against each other that Metabee won, they both know each other's move." Explained Rokusho.

Kantaroth nodded in an understanding manner "Hmm..."

"DUDE!!!" Shouted his Medafighter.

"Metabee...we need to surprise them with our oppening move otherwise we'll never win!" Declared Ikki into his Medawatch.

"Gotcha Ikki... MISSILE LAUNCHED!" Called Metabee.

Gallahaste quickly reacted, swinging his right arm to slash the two projectile in mid-air with his sword. He realised his mistake only too late as Metabee had shot to his left, effectively positionning himself at a perfect angle to shoot Gallahaste's unprotected right side. A hail of golden laser hit the Knight's right shoulder, before his opponent had to stop shooting and roll to regain his balance, giving him time to recover.

"Warning. Right arm, 20% damage." Droned out the girl's Medawatch.

"Gallahaste! Get in there QUICK!" Ordered Gwen.

"Yes Mylady!" Replied the KNT.

The brave Knight agressively charged forward, shield first. Metabee got in position and started shooting, trying to hit unprotected part of his opponent's body. A few shot hit Gallahaste's legs and shoulder but he did not let the pain stop him. He sliced the air with his sword, forcing the yellow KBT to back away, heading back toward his Medafighter before once again shooting his seeker missiles. Gallahaste leapt away from the explosion and rushed back toward Metabee.

Gwen smiled, fire raging in her eyes as she glare at her opponent "Not bad so far Ikki. You ready Gallahaste? Let's go for the Frisbee manoeuver!"

In a swift motion Gallahaste swung his arm rapidely, sending his shield flying through the air, heading straight for the surprised Metabee! Reacting on reflexe ,more than fighting instinct, he ducked, letting the shield turned weapon sail over his head. Ikki gasped in surprised and barely had time to dodge. Erika and Brass scream as they were in the general direction the shield was heading! In flash Rokusho was right in front of them and had caught the shield easily with one hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He simply stated.

But Gallahaste had no time to worry about his projectile and neither did Metabee who quickly had to get back up otherwise he would be struck down by the Medabot with a sword charging RIGHT AT HIM! He managed to get back to his feet and tought he had just enough seconds to leap away before Gallahaste struck... but then the Knight's eyes flashed red!

"BROADSWORD MODE!" He shouted, his sword growing in mid-swing.

Metabee was struck by the tip of the large sword, sending him flying backward. He landed on his back with a loud 'thump'. Gallahaste jumped high into the air, his sword ready to strike downward. Attacking a downed foe was not like Gallahaste, Gwen realised she didn't like Boardsword mode at ALL. Metabee looked up in horror as his friend felt down from the sky, sword pointing downward. He didn't have time to react and with a loud metal cracking noise the large sword went right through his right arm and dug into the ground!At the same time the Knight landed on his opponent's legs. Metabee scream in pain and let loose a hail of angry golden laser, sending Gallahaste flying with even more force than he had sent Metabee. With more painful groan the KBT managed to extract the sword from his arm, and threw it aside, clutching his arm, he was barely able to stand up.

"Warning, legs damage 60%, mobility reduced. Warning, Right Arm 100% damage, Right arm function ceased. Warning, Left Arm 20% damage, Warning, torso and head 35% damage." listed Ikki's Medawatch.

"Warning, legs damage 40%, mobility reduced. Warning, Right Arm 55% damage. Warning, Left Arm 35% damage. Warning, 70% Damage to head and torso, shut down imminent. " Droned Gwen's Medawatch.

"You did great Gallahaste, but you lost your weapons, give up." Declared Metabee.

"Do...you...think... I'll give up this easily? You don't know me...well enough...old friend." Called Gallahaste, getting back to his feet as his body erupt in silver light.

"He's summoning the Medaforce!" Realised Gwen.

"Lady Gwen put all her faith in me and I will not let her down without fighting at my best!" Shouted the shining knight.

"Sorry pal but I got first dibs on the third place! You're not the only with an Ishkara!" Called Metabee, as he too erupted in light, his golden.

"Two Medaforce! No way! That's like you against ArcBeetle!" Commented Erika.

"Gallahaste!" Started Gwen.

"Metabee!" Called Ikki as well.

"USE THE MEDAFORCE!" The two Medafighter shouted at the same time.
