" The excitement is building up in town as the day of the opening ceremony of the World Robattle Tourmanent is aproaching. In just 3 days the best Medafighters in the world will Robattle for the coveted title of World Champion! The international team are already gathering in the Riverview district where the grandiose Meda-Dome is located! This year's Robattle Championship is said to be shaping up into an incredibly one. Rumor has it that the Federation will have a new structure for the tournament as well as new rules. Before I leave the air let me remind you of the three Medafighter representing Japan: Number 3: Ikki Tenryo, Number 2: Koji Karakuchi and captain of the team and number 1 Medafighter in japan: The forever mysterious Space Medafighter X! Now back to you Tom!"
"Thank you Paul... in other news..." Ikki shut the TV, interupting the news anchor as he was about to talk about politics.
Ikki, Gwen and Erika where going to the airport that day, Team Canada was arriving and they wanted to go meet up their old friends Martin and Sophie, as well as meet the third and most powerful members of the team, Adam and his Medabot Ravenhawk. Just as the boy stood up from the living room couch's, the doorbell rang. In a few seconds Chidori was at the door and opening it. As Ikki walked over to see who it was Medabot walked in from the kitchen while Chidori turned to call her son, stoping when she saw he was nearby.
"Ikki, you got a visitor!" She said, stepping aside.
At the door stood a navy blue Medabot. He looked like he was wearing a uniform with six golden button at the front of a long coat.His feet looked like shiny black shooes, his shoulders were square, formal looking and he looked as if he had sleeves from wich came his Tin Pet hands.To top it all, his head looked like he was wearing a chauffeur's cap and he had blue eyes in the usual dark space Male Medabots have above their white face plate. Ikki and Metabee walked up to the Medabot with a quizzical look on their face. The boy noticed the Medabot had a white '3' on each shoulder.
"Mister Tenryo I pressume?" Asked the Medabot with a british Accent. "I am Parker, I was assigned to you by the Medabot Federation of Japan to serve as your assisant, guide to the tournament, bodyguard and driver during the duration of this year's World Robattle Championship."Explained the Medabot, extending his hand. "I am honored to meet you."
FAB-1467
Parker, Butler -type
Medafighter: Medabot Federation of Japan
Special Attack: Serving
"My...assistant? Wow!" Commented Ikki, stunned, as he shook the Medabot's hand.
"Bodyguard? Like WE need protection!" Complained Metabee, true to himself, crossing his arms.
"If you wish I could demonstrate my abilities to you sir. Try to shoot me Mister Metabee and you will see why I was assigned as bodyguard." Calmly proposed Parker.
"Uh... are you sure it's a good idea?" Started Ikki before Metabee stepped back and readied his laser canon.
Parker stood calmly, not even showing any signs of alarm and before Ikki could stop him from doing so, Metabee fired. Ikki was ready to hear the familiar sound of a laser blast hitting metal, but instead he heard a strange fizzling sound. The boy turned around, back toward Parker and saw the Medabot surrounded by a bubble of orangy light that suddenly vanished.
"I have the ability to project a protective barrier. This force field can be activate at the same speed I think of using it. It is like a defensive reflexe. It can protect up to ten person at the same time and is perfect to keep away the pesky press and rabid fan mass." Explained Parker, raising a hand to point the little glass spehere embeded on the front of his 'cap'. "My shield being extremely resistant, I was not designed with any weapon to compensate for that advantage, my function as body guard re merely defensive, if you wish to retaliate against an assaillant, the pleasure shall remain all yours Mister Metabee."
"Impressive... so you're at my... I mean our service?" Inquired Ikki "Out of the shield what can you do?"
"I am in direct connection with the Meda-Dome central computer, I can tell you the exact schedule of every event of the Championship as well as the results of any past matches. I will be able to tell you the name of the Medafighters and Medabots of the other teams once the tournament started as well as provide you with the usual general information you can get such as types and Medal of these Medabots. I was also assigned to drive you wherever you wish to go, in the limits of the city that is... while we are on the subject, do you know where I could park this? I do not wish to keep it on the side of the street." Answered Parker, before pointing to something in the street behind him as he said the word 'this'.
Ikki and Metabee looked past him and gasped in total surprise, Ikki's jaw dropped when he saw what Parker was pointing it. For a moment he remained speechless.
"Woh....cool!" Muttered Metabee.
A large grin spread over Ikki's face. "No need to park, Parker! We're going out! We got three nice ladies and a brave knight to pick up and then it's off to the airport. " He said, in what he tought was a nice impression of a snobish Koji.
"Very well sir. " Nodded the buttler-bot.
"MOM! WE'RE OFF TO ERIKA'S!" Shouted the boy.
"HAVE A NICE DAY!" Replied the woman from the kitchen as the door shut behind the boy and the two bots.
----------
Erika stood up in front of her house, leaning against a telephone pole and looking up at the sky toughtfully. Brass was beside her, her helmet off and her hair-upgrade hanging free under her journalist hat. Both girl had their camera around their neck and they were waiting for Ikki and Metabee.
Erika sighed loudly as a nice fluffy cloud passed over head.
"What's wrong Erika?" Asked Brass.
"I bet Ikki is gonna arive late, he's ALWAYS late when we have to meet, it's like he doesn'T care if I'm waiting." She commented.
"I don't think that's why he's late... Maybe he take too much time getting his hair ready." Proposed Brass.
Erika giggled "Ikki could pour two jar of hair gel on his head and that little plume of hair of his would never go down."She said, refereing to the little spike of hair at the back of the boy's hair. "I don't see why he would want it to go away tough, I think it looks...nice."
"I meant he's getting himself ready to look the best for you." Pointed out Brass.
Erika blushed at the idea before shaking it off "Nah, he probably ends up in some silly argument with Metabee... it always happens... They're supposed to be here in 5 minutes, I bet you two Kadok Digital Memory Cards he'll arrive more than ten minutes late." Proposed the girl, lowering her arms.
"And I say under ten minutes... deal!" Agreed the Medabot.
As the girls shook on it a long white limo turned the street's corner. It slowly came to a hatl right in front of Erika's house. It was entirely white exept for a large red dot on the side, mimicking the Japanese flag. It also had small flags up at the front and hanging from the antenna at the back. For a moment the two girls had no idea what this was all about and mechanically took their camera to take a picture, they didn't know who was in there because of the tinted window. They knew it was Karen, her Limo's pink, and Koji always travels in a carriage. The rear door suddenly opened and none other than... IKKI came out!
"Hi Erika!" He said, stepping out, allowing Metabee to follow him.
"Hiya Brass!" The Medabot added.
Erika had to rub her eyes to be sure she wasn't seeing things, and after pinching herself to be sure she wasn't dreeming she managed to ask a question to the grinning boy "IKKI?!? What the heck is that? Did you won the lotery or you were on someone's will?!?"
"Nope! It's just the perks of being the Third Most Powerful Medafighter in Japan and member of Team Japan. This is lend by the MFJ!" Explained the boy, still grinning madly.
"This thing got a satelite TV, a sattelite phone, videogames, 6 disc stereo and DVD player as well as a mini bar and a nice rug on the floor, stained proof. The only thing missing is a jacuzzi! And even with that there would be enough room to hold a party in there!" Said Metabee, obviously impressed as well as bragging.
"Com'on girls, we're going to pick up Gwen and Gallahaste! Then we're going to the airport!" Declared Ikki, showing the girls the way, letting them enter the car first like a true gentleman.
"And the guy there's Parker, my assistant, he comes with the car!" Bragged Metabee.
"You owe me two Memory Cards Erika." Pointed out Brass, taking a picture of the limo's vast and comfy all-leather interior.
---------
"So pal, not feeling too bad after the pounding I gave ya?" Inquired Metabee.
"Not at all my friend. Lord Aki had me back in shape in not time, I felt better than when I came out of the box. I seam to recal you taking some heavy damage as well, was the damage done to your tin pet's arm repaired as well?" Replied Gallahaste.
"Yeah, sure, look at that!" Replied the KBT,doing the windmill with his arm.
The gang where at the airport, waiting for their friends to come out of custom. After picking up Gwen and Gallahaste, who were as surprised as everyone by Ikki's temporary limo, they called the airport with the satelite phone and managed to get the exact arrival time of the plane from Canada. They did a quick stop by the Hop Mart to show off to Henry, who turned out to be on sick day, and then finally got at the airport where they were right now.
The gang heard a light engine sound as Snomotor in his vehicule mode slowly drove through the gate that lead out of the custom zone, pulling behind him one of those luggage carrying troley. On top of the pile of suitcase was perched Harwing, sitting with her legs crossed as she let herself be pulled along by Snomotor.
SNO-3116
Snomotor, Snowplow -type
Medafighter: Martin
Special Attack: Plow Attack
HRF-77896
Harwing, Snow Owl -type
Medafighter: Sophie
Special Attack: Cryo Blaster
"That was so gallant of you to offer this ride Snomotor!" She commented, in an uncharacteristic nice tone.
"It's nothing... Hey look who's up ahead!" He replied, using his missile launcher to point at their Japanese friend who were waving at the two robots.
Right behind the trolley were the two familiar face of Martin and Sophie. Martin was wearing kahki shorts while Sophie was wearing a blue skirt, but both had the same red t-shirt and white sleeveless vest combo on. The vest had a small red maple leaf on the left brest pocket, the gang guessed it was some sort of uniform.
"Hi guys! Long time no see!" Called Martin, waving happily.
"Hiya! Nice to be back around here." Added Sophie, her cold blue eyes surveying the small group before stopping on Gwen. "I heard you were number 4 in Japan, not bad at all Gwen."
"Thanks... how was the flight?" Inquired Gwen.
"Killing... it's the first time I leave North-America and that flight was way too long... and I don't need to mention the food." Answered Martin, yawning slightly. "And I had to wake up too early for my taste."
"Stop complaining you big softy." Replied Sophie, shaking her head. "I've travelled four times around the world already and I'm just two years older than you. This is my fourth time in Japan so *I* got no problem with the plane trip."
"Oh that's right...you used to destroy Medabot for a living, following your bounty hunter parents foot steps."Commented Erika.
Snomotor turned back to his Robot-mode and shook hand with Metabee. "Nice to see you again Dreamer." He declared. "I hope I'll get my revange during the tournament."
"Don't count on it, I intend to be the champ." Replied the KBT.
Harwing gracefully landed in front of Gallahaste "Looking fit Gallahaste... had a major repair recently?"
"Actually yes Lady Harwing. I was defeated my Lord Metabee once again in a devastating battle and had to have most of my Medaparts replace. It seams YOU had some modification to your left arm recently." He answered.
"This?" Asked Harwing, pointing to her left arm who looked almost exactly the same as her right arm, if only for a few minute differences to what looked like her left cryo blaster."Now that...is a secret." She added, reminding Gallahaste of someone, but he wasn't sure who exactly.
Harwing and Snomotor suddenly noticed Brass and looked at her with great curiosity.
"Brass...is that you?" Asked Harwing.
"Yes it is... You didn't recognize me because of the hair upgrade?" Asked the Sailor-type. "It's nice to see you two again."
"Actually.. there's something about you that feels diferent, beside the hair upgrade, who's apretty nice touch by the way... you just feel like... The others here feel... I don't know how to say it really." Explained Snomotor, while the humans exchanged some story of what happened recently, the Japanese kids ommiting the whole Shaman fiasco. "Actually... your MEdafighters feel odd too."
Gallahaste, Brass and Metabee froze in place for a few seconds, they knew what this was all about: Antvara! Snomotor and Harwing could feel Brass's new Rare Medal and the kids newly awakened Antvara. Luckily for them they weren't as used to the sensation as our hero were.
"Hmm... well...we shall explain later." Finally declared Gallahaste.
"Say... where is your other teammate? " Inquired Ikki.
"Yeah! I want to meet that Ravenhawk guy!" Added Metabee.
Sophie and Martin groaned, confusing the other Medafighters "You mean Adam?" Said Sophie, in a voice that said 'I wish he wasn't there'.
"Last time I saw him was when we disembarked, he was bragging to the flight attendant at the exit about something or other. He kept trying to seduce the flight attendants all trip long. He even tried to hit on the female custom agent that was going through his bag back in Vancouver!"Started Martin "That guy is older than us and yet we have to look out for him all the time... I bet he's slowing down the line at the Medabot Pick Up counter, the woman in charge was kinda cute."
"I've seen cuter." Pointed out Sophie, for no real reason. "That Adam guy think of himself as the Greatest Lady's Man in History!" She added groaning in frustration. "And to make matters worse he got good reason to brag because he's actually good at Robattling... believe me, I've seen him fight... his sense of humor could use some severe work tough."
"Seen him fight? You mean he beat you up good! That's the reason she's number 3 instead of number 2!" Added Martin.
Sophie slapped the back of his head. "Shut up!"
A few minutes later the kids were all sitting on some benches while the Medabot where standing around the pile of luggage, talking Robattles. Metabee was a bit annoyed he couldn't talk about his great Robattles with the Shamans, mostly the one where he beat up Libek on the front yard, even if that match technically ended by a draw. But he made sure to mention the Rubberobos Extreme Medabots and the time they kidnapped Ikki's mom. Finally, after the steady flow of people exiting the custom zone died down, a tall young man in his 20s came out of the gate. He had spikey blond hair standing up on his head, dark eyes and tanned skin. He was wearing a green headband with a small Canadian flag, probably added recently, sown to the front. He too was wearing the red t-shirt and white vest and he had blue jeans on. He looked around before spotting his team mates and he walked toward them, waving.
"HEY KIDS! Why did ya run off like that?" He called.
"We didn't... LOOK OUT ADAM!" Shouted back Martin.
But it was too late, the guy triped on a bag that was left on the ground and fall face first on the ground in a ridiculous manner.
Sophie shook her head. "Did I also mentionned he was annoyingly clumsy?"
But the guy quickly stood, smilling happily as he rubbed his sore face.
"As I was saying, why did you run off like that? I'm the adult AND the team captain so I got to watch over you!" He said, as he walked up to the gang.
"First of all I can take care of myself, I've been in more Mafia and Yakuza hideout in one year than you'll ever be in your entire life, I don't need you to watch over me... And second of all: We didn't run off.... YOU WERE LATE HITTING ON EVERY DAMN GIRL IN THE BUILDING!" Complained Sophie, steaming mad.
But Adam's smile only dissapeared for a second before returning"Ooops... guess your right." he simply said, rubbing the back of his head. "So, who are you pals?"
"Adam, this Ikki Tenryo, this Medafighter of Japan, and his friends: Erika and Gwen. We've met them at the MedaCon tournament I told you about, where I've also met Sophie for the first time. Ikki defeated me and Gwen defeated Sophie." Started Martin.
"And I'm only number 4 in Japan." Bragged Gwen.
"And over there you have Ikki's Medabot Metabee, Gwen's Gallahaste and Erika's Brass... Hey wait a minute... where's Ravenhawk?" Inquired the boy.
"Ravenhawk? He's right there." Simply answered Adam, pointing to the top of the luggage pile where Harwing used to sit.
Everybody gasped in surprise as they saw a Medabot standing there. Nobody had heard, or FELT him come close! This guy was as good as any ninja! He had large clawed feet, his feet and legs were brown. He had a light brown hips protection on each side, that seamed to end by three little claws, kinda like his feet, he also had an armor late upfront on wich was painted what looked like a bear's face, complete with angry black eyes and fangs showing. His torso was covered by what looked like a badger's head viewed front the top, with a black line in the center, while the rest was grey with white patch, he had eyes as well. His grey shoulders were round and big and he had arms that were reminescent of Rokusho's or Sumilidon's, with huge grey fist, but he had black round spot on top of them. On his left he had a hammer fist, exactly like rokusho, only the hammer part was green with yellow blue bumps, a vivid contrast on the grey of his fist. The most striking feature was the double bladed axe he had instead of the sword, albeit it was layed on the same axis as Rokusho's chanbara sword, for sideway motion rather than Sumilidon's downward slash swords. His head was round and black, it had yellow eyes on top and features to mimic a bird: wings that looked feathery on the side and a tail at the back, that also doubled as hair standins, and a huge pointy dark grey beak above the dark hole in wich two green eyes shimmered. To complete the raven look of the head, his face plate was dark grey like the fake beak, rather than white. To summarize, he looked like a stack of robotic animals brought together. He was standing there, arms crossed and looked dead serious. Not 'melancholic-lonely-mysterious-philosophic' kinda way Rokusho could have, more of a 'I-only-exist-for-battle' way.
TTM-17006
Ravenhawk , Totem -type
Medafighter: Adam
Special Attack: Toma-Axe
Without any kind of effort he leapt down and landed, silently "Pardon me for startling you. It was not my intend to sneak up on you."Said the Medabot, in a low voice that sounded like those 'noble indian' you see in old western movies that look like they don't have a ounce of humor in their body.
"Yeah right, you just wanted to show off." Commented Snomotor.
Ravenhawk paused for a second before seamingly loosing his air of mystery and seriousness " Ooops... you found me out." He said, rubbing the back of his head in the same manner as his Medafighter, his eyes betraying his non-existant grin.
The Japanese gang fell back in true Anime style. Ravenhawk was not more serious than his Medafighter! Hopefully for Team Canada he wasn't clumsy like Adam during a Robattle. Altough Ikki still remained careful.
"He may seam silly now, but what matters is what happens during the tournament. To come close to us without alerting us and landing this silently, especially for a heavyweight, he has to be very skilled. I can feel it now, this guy knows the Shadow Sword, and so does his Medafighter, it's even more evident than Koji now that I caught on to it... I think they were trying to hide it...We'll have to be careful... after they defeated Sophie and Harwing." Tought Ikki.
"I wonder why good ol' X isn't here to greet me... you kids no where she could be?" Asked Adam.
"Nope... haven't seen her in days." Replied Ikki, it was true, last time he had seen her was when his mom was kidnapped and Shadow Rose K showed up.
"Allright then... How about we go to the restaurant kids? That airplane food looked too weird to eat. I want to try some of that famous japanese cuisine! I'm paying!" Suddenly declared Adam, getting various positive response from the gang.
"I'll have to go warn Parker we'll be longer than expected." Commented Ikki as they head toward the airport's food court
"You guys know the story of the cook, the shinto priest and the rabbi?" Both Adam and Ravenhawk said at the same times to their respective crowd.
"Here they go again!" Groaned Sophie and Harwing at the same time.
To Be Continued...
