Disclaimer: I do not own Medabots or any related names and brand,I am writting this fic out of fun and I'm not making any profit from it and I'm poor,please don't sue me! My friend Palladin created the female Space Medafighter X and certain related concepts.
AN: thanks for the good reviews everyone,I just noticed I titled the last chapter 'part 17' while it was part 18 :p silly me. It's changed now. Sorry if this chapter is a little short, but I tought it was more intesne with just those two scenes in it.
Anyway, since most of my readers are American I'm asking for ideas for the Medafighters and Medabots of the USA team, for the World Tournament. Be warned that I don't want overpowering Medabots with ten diferent attacks, hidden moves, new secret powers or the ability to fight both with a sword or any meelee weapon AND a shooting weapon (i.e. nothing like the UR2 gang).The goal isn't to design an awesome fighting machine that will destroy everyone, but a cool one that will look and feel American! I'm looking for reasonable, 'realistic' Medabot you would see in the show(i.e. One normal attack and one special attack with only one special, either grappling or shooting or special), I'll be the one to decide who gets the Rare Medal or Shadow Sword if it applies. And now, on with the story!

The room was quiet, the silence only broken by the slow steady beeping of the heart monitor. In a nearby bed Space Medafighter X was laying, Shadow Rose K's mask put on her eyes to keep her identity secret. The scar on her cheek looked like a never ending tear. Outside the room, looking in through a window was Dr. Aki. The doctor looked at the uncouscious woman with worry in his eyes, he was so preoccupied he didn't noticed the twin series of footstep echoing in the dark corridor.
"How is she?" Asked Karen, making her uncle jump in surprise.
"Ah! Karen it's you, don't sneak up on me like that." Complained the doctor "I know you know ninja stuff and all but it's no reason to use them!"
The girl was still in her Shadow Rose costume, minus the cape and mask, but her hairstyle was her usual one, she had a band-aid on her cheek and a larger bandage on her shoulder. She had been more harmed by Kinlyu's whip as she initially tought, the heat of the battle made her oblivious to the pain in her shoulder. RedRogue was by her side, still sporting her normal Nurse arm.
Karen look to her Medabot quizzically "We were sneaking? I didn't even notice. Sorry Uncle Aki."
RedRogue shruged "Guess so...Sorry doctor."
"It's allright... I wish I had known you took up your mother's mantle and became the Shadow Rose. " Commented the Doc.
"I'm sorry for not telling you... but it's a secret that is better left hidden. You're already in much trouble over the Rare Medal issue, I didn't want to add pressure, or worry you..." Karen paused and look inside the room. "I don't even like to fight crime that much, I just do it so others don't get hurt, when it's nessecary. X is a true crime fighter, a real life super hero, she can go beyond her limits and fight like a true hero, I'm just a girl in costume who knows a special type of martial art. Normally I can handle most crooks, but it was the first time I met someone like Kinlyu Fuuma... he was terrifying and so strong...But she never waver and was determined to that cold hearted monster to justice."She too was worried and concern, much more than the Doctor. "How is Kasumi going and what about her secret identity?"
"Don't worry about her secret, I was the only onbe to see her face and I already know who she is, I met her even before your mother did, and this private hospital is the kind of place where stars and politician come when they don't want anybody to know they are ill. Nobody will know X ever cme here." Started the doctor."As for her health... the doctors told me her liver had been almost pulverized and her pancreas was damaged as well. She got a broken rib but it's already half way healed so it's not a big deal. They're making replacement for the organs she need as we speak. The doctors also told me she could get out of here in about three weeks or so. You acted fast enough and her life isn't in danger anymore." Explained the elder man.
"That's good ...Three weeks... but the tournament's starting in about a week! What's gonna happen?" Inquired Karen, relieved the woman was allright, but worried for her friends in the tournament.
"Easy, we'll replace her." Answered the doc, pulling out the golden face mask Kasumi usually wear out of his lab coat.
----------
Kinlyu Fuuma sat on the edge of a roof, grumbling to himself. He had just finished taking care of his wounds and he had to get some air. This time he managed to get SOME revenge on Space Medafighter X, but now RedRogue and her new MEdafighter were in his way, becoming his enemies too. This situation was exasperating, he cursed himself for not picking the Medal of his Medabot carefully. Kinlyu finished the can of Green tea he had stolen out of a vending machine and stared at it for a second, as if it held unseen wisdom. He had to find a way to get close enough to X and strike her down, wich was not easily done, the ninja didn't have the nessecary nor monetary means to research X's wereabouts since he had just escaped from jail. He only managed to find a hideout because somebody owed him. In a split second the can was crushed flat onto the floor next to him, he could have done it on his forehead, but that was just vulgar. The ninja looked at the empty street below, he needed to find a way to get his anger ventilated so he could think more clearly of a plan. Suddenly he detected a prescence behind him. He turned around quickly, standing up in the process and taking a defensive stance in a split second, he even took the time to draw a kunai. A few feet away stood a Medabot.
It was a Sphinx -type with red glowing eyes. What was weird is that it let itself be detected by Kinlyu, and the fact that a simple Medabot could have actually snuck up on *HIM* was enough to make the ninja *EXTREMELY* cautious of the newcomer, and it also scared him a little. That Medabot had a Rare Medal but strangely, he only felt it's odd energy when he detected his prescence, normally he can sense those things quite easily on short distance.
"Calm down... I come to talk buisness with you, not to fight you. I heard you were the best of the best." Declared the Medabot with it's raspy, from beyond the grave, voice.
"Who are you and what do you mean by buisness?" Inquired the man, still keeping a perfect defense, ready for anything.
"I am Jaken, and me and my associate would require your knowledge to help us... I think you've met him once before, something about modifying a Medabot or whatnot... " Answered the strange Medabot.
"Meta-Evil? What does the old coot want with me? He's got his little henchmen do his grunt work, why don't he find somebody else, I'm busy with personnal matters nowadays, I don't give a damn about your little scheme unless something REALLY good is in it for me." Replied the Ninja.
Kinlyu could sworn he had seen the Medabot smirk with arrogant confidence " I won't explain the job until you've agreed to help us, but know that if you do accept this job, not only will you be rewarded handsomly, but you will a great heartless Medabot to replace the one that soften up on you, but you will also have a chance to get your revange on Space Medafighter X and her little buddies."
The man slightly loosen up his defense, now that 'bot was talking. "Allright, your interesting me... let's go talk buisness with the old man... and be warned of what happens to ANYONE who breaks a contract with me..." Started Kinlyu, grabbing the crushed green tea can.
He held it up betweem two fingers and suddenly it was surrounded by a dark aura. He threw it toward the Medabot named Jaken, who didn't even blink. The newly created weapon flew toward the Sphinx like a shuriken before it perfom an odd curved and returned toward Kinlyu, passing him and flying down toward the street. The spinning crushed can hit a car, going right through it's hydrogen tank and exiting on the other side. The fire of the resulting explosion erupted behind Kinlyu, giving the masked ninja a demonic appearance.
"They always regret it." He finished.
"I think we'll quickly become friends." Commented the mysterious Jaken.
