Phantom Kansai: Funny because I didn't even saw that episode hehehehe. A mortar, that's weird for sure. In Warcraft 2 they were demolition expert and could self-destruct, that even weirder.
Mad-man: Oooh... a challange for Ravenhawk? You'll see, there's more to Ravenhawk than his speed.

Ikki, Metabee, Erika, Brass, Gwen and Gallahaste were all in the limousine suplied by the Medabot Federation. Today was THE Day, D Day... or any other letter for that matter. The day te World Robattle Championship would start! The limo came to an halt nearby the Medadome, the place the tournament is held.
"Parker, would you please open the door for us, we might need to force field to protect us against mad fans and journalists." Snobishly declared Ikki.
"Yes sir." Agreed the Butler-bot, getting off the car without protest.
"Ikki... you know how to open a car door." Commented Erika
"Stars like us have to take precautions." He replied, grinning.
"That's right!"Agreed Metabee, nodding
"I think you're letting this go to your head." Added Gwen.
The car door opened from the outside and Ikki steped ouyt into the fun, smilling happily. His smile faded when he realised nobody was there to great him. He had a clear way from the sidewalk to the entrace of the massive white Medadome. The only fan waiting for him were... Rintaro and Kantaroth. He looked around and saw the journalist and fans crowd two other limo a certain distance away, he recognized the flag attached to them, Kenya and USA. He groaned out of frustrartion.
"DUDE! IKKI YOU ROCK DUDE! YOU'RE GONNA WIN DUDE!" Cheered Kantaroth, bouncing up and down.
Ikki sighed. "You can forget the force field Parker."
The others then stepped out, Erika was about to make a comment about the lack of crowd but the look of the place was ammazing. The Medadome was a huge white structure, resting meters away. At it's feet were various small building, stores and restaurants of all kind, there was tres in rows in green spot in the concrete covering the ground, forming alleys that all led toward the center of the coumpound, the Medadome itself. The entire coumpound was surrounded by a beautifully crafted metalic fence and there was as many entrace to it as there were alley, each gate was flanked by tall stone pillar topped each by a Medabot bronze sculpture facing each other in a battle without end.
"Woh." Said Erika, before snapping a picture, followed suit by Brass.
The sculptures adorning gate they had stopped at were of a KBT mark 1 aiming his laser toward a RAY type Medabot. Metabee looked up at the pillar.
"Inspiring." He commented.
"There you are Tenryo!" Suddenly shouted a voice the gang recognized, it was Koji.
He and Sumilodon were standing at the feet of a tree past the gate. The little ground, lead by Parker entered the Medadome terrain to meet up with the two.
"What took you so long?" The boy asked angrily.
"Chill Koji, it's not like we're late." Commented the other boy, waving a dismissive hand.
"Grrr... This is just not my day... I can't find Karen and Space MEdafighter X hasn't showed up in days!" Koji replied, holding out his annoyement.
"Whatever... weren't you suppose to come with Dr. Aki?" Inquired Erika.
"Yeah...I did... but he run off to a pudding booth." Answered Koji, shaking his head.
"Do not worry sir. I will sent someone to look for the Doctor. " Proposed Parker "We still have to get you and your friends Entry Pass. Please follow me toward to the Participant Entrace of the Dome itself, the opening ceremony should begin shortly."
Ikki nodded "Lead the way Parker!"
Koji sighed and followed the group. He still wished Karen was there to see him win the exhibition match. And where on Earth could Space Medafighter X be?
-----------
It was simple formality, and soon all the kids and Medabot were given full acess to the Medadome. Erika, Gwen and even Rintaro were now considered guest and could sit in the front row with a lot of important person, including Dr. Aki who got a life time pass to any major tournament.Now parker was leading the little group in a white corridor, soon they stopped in front of a non descriptive door.
"This is the preparation, all tournament entry must wait here before the opening ceremony. Here is the key to Locker 511, in it you should find a japanese flag. You'll have to decide among you who gets to hold it since your leader seams to be running late." Explained Parker, handing the key to Koji. "As for the rest of us, we will have to go wait in the dome itself and wait like the rest of the audiance." He then added turning to the rest of the group.
"Allright... good luck guys." Said Erika.
"Good luck!" Added the rest of the group, Rintaro and Kantaroth slipping a 'dude' at the end.
"Sssh! That's bad luck to wish good luck!" Complained Ikki.
"Good luck sir." Added Parker, making the boy cringe.
"Com'on Tenryo!" Called Koji, pulling Ikki by the collar into the room.
They entered the large room and found it already full of people and Medabots! Ikki suddenly felt a rush of Antvara, there was more Rare Medals here than he was use to feel, and he even noticed a few void, meaning there was some Shadow Sword users beside Koji and Adam in the group. There was lockers lining the walls, a double door at one end and in the middle a huge buffet table with all kinds of hors d'oeuvre of all kind, little cheese cubes, small sushi rolls and plastic glasses of juice and wine. Ikki caught glimpse of Victor among the colorful crowd. In the corner near the door he had just crossed he saw someone wave at him, it was Martin. Team Canada was in the calmer part of the room. Adam was holding a tray half full of little triangle sandwiches... and he probable ate the first half because he was engulfing them at an incredible rate.
"Ya know Adam this tray was for the whole room." Commented Sophie, turning her back on her teamates.
"But I'm hungry!" commented the man in betweem bite.
"Hey Ikki, Metabee!" Greeted Martin."Hey, long time no see Koji."
"Sumilodon." Added Snomotor,waving at the Medabot he had once defeated.
"Hey it's that looser that lost to you Martin in Quebec City!" Commented Sophie, making Koji growl.
"My name is Koji, and you better not forget it." He replied.
"Koji, Sumilodon, meet Adam and Ravenhawk." Introduced Ikki.
"Hey kid!" Greeted Adam.
"Nice to meet you." Said Ravenhawk, shaking hand with Sumilodon.
"Same here." Added the STG.
The two Medabot stood there for a few second, glaring at each other in a curious way, both were sizing the other's ability. It was clear to Koji that this man, as foolish as he looked was a skill Shadow Sword user, and his Medabot would proove a great challenge for Sumilodon, maybe even greater than Koghar or Metabee could ever be. This tournament will be interesting.
"Ya heard about the new rules?" Inquired Sophie."Any idea what they might be?"
"Maybe they'll have us to Tag Team matches." Proposed Martin.
"This is the World Medabot Federation, not World Wrestling Federation!" Replied Sophie.
"The what?" Replied the boy confused.
"It's what was the WWE at some point... don't you know your sport history?" Explained the blue haired girl.
Martin lift an eyebrow "Since when do you care about wrestling?"
Sophie blushed "Never, it's too stupid for me!" She said, turning around once again
"AH!" suddenly gasped Metabee, taking a step back.
"What's wrong Metabee?" Asked Ikki, concerned.
"There." Answered the Medabot, pointing to another part of the room.
Ikki look in the direction his Medabot was pointing before having the same surprised and shocked reaction "AH!" He steped back.
"What's wrong with you?" Asked Koji.
In the meantime Adam opted for another buffet table raid and Martin and Sophie were trying to stop him, and thus they didn't noticed what was hapening. Koji and Sumilodon looked in the same direction before both having the same reaction. In another calm spot near a wall, three women were leaning against a wall, in front of them were three Medabots. The one in the center... looked like Faros.
"Is... is... is that Faros?!? It can't be! Tyrkahaste desintegrate him!" Asked Koji, tremble.
"Don't worry... it's not him." Answered Metabee, who had calmed down in the meantime.
Ikki nodded "First of all that guy has red eye, Faros had white ones, second of all it doesn't 'feel' like Faros and third, he doesn't even have a Rare Medal."
"You and your Antvara." Commented Koji.
"It must be another Sphinx type... Look at the flag near them, it's Team Egypt." Added Metabee.
They decided to drop this weird coincidence and went to get their own flag. Koji won the right to hold the flag in a Rock Paper Cissor contest he won against Ikki using cissor. That's when the attention of the whole room was captured when a man entered through the double door. He was wearing clothings similar to Mr. Referee's but it wasn't him, he had black hair and round sunglasses on. He was an official for sure tough.
"Attention everyone, the ceremony will begin in 10 minutes, in the meantime we will decide who will face Team Japan in today's Exhibition match. Be inform than EVERY rules that apply to the Tournament's matches will apply to this one as well. Now, I have in this hat the name of every one of the 32 team present here written on paper. " Explained the man, pulling out a top hat from behind his back. "I will ask a representative from Team Japan to come and draw a name please."
This time Ikki didn't let Koji a chance and just rushed to the front of the room and fished a name in the hat. He pulled it out and unfolded the piece of paper. For a moment he wasn't sure wether to jump in joy or faint in terror. He was shocked. Seeing this the official grab the piece of paper and read it out loud for the crowd to hear.
"Team Kenya!"
