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. Kinlyu Fuuma and his moves are my original creations.
AN: I don't know if anybody noticed the mistake but Gallahaste's special attack isn't 'Agility', it's 'Sword'. I just forgot to edit out RedRogue's specialty when I copied Team Japan's presentation. I'll get around to change it but it's not crucial.

High above the excited crowd of the Meda-Dome are the Corporate Lodge, places were rich men and women can enjoy the show without being in the middle of commoners. They also get to eat good food and enjoy all kinds of other advantages. One of them is reserved for the high level executives of the Medabots Federation. Right now it is occupied by Seaslug, Whitesword, the Medabot known as both Armachis and Jaken and none other than Kinlyu Fuuma. Kinlyu and Jaken as sitting in big comfy chair, while Whitesword and Seaslug are standing by the huge bay window, looking down at the match. Right now, Team Chile's Rapanui was starting his Volcanic Shower.
Seaslug looked estatic."Hahaha, those kids are in for it now! If we're lucky we might get THREE Medals out of this battle! Including Metabee's and Gallahste's!"
"You're an idiot, the Chileans are gonna loose." Simply said Kinlyu, taking a sip of champagne through his mask.
Seaslug turned around, infuriated "WHAAAAT?!?"
"He's right." Added Whitesword "I mean about them loosing."He precised.
"You're the only one in this room who hasn't understand that the match is already won.You ARe a fool Seaslug." Said Jaken, walking over the window." Unless Team Japan doesn an amazingly stupid mistake, wich I know they won't, they can't loose. It was clear the moment Team Chile too position."
Seaslug scratched his head. "I don't see what you mean."
Kinlyu stood up as well. "It's simple. They are triplets and they use very similar Medabots. It's evident they are at their best working as a team and they have won all their Robattles that way. The fact that they took position this fast and this efficiently is another proof of that."He explained.
"So?" Asked Seaslug, still confused and not really happy to feel like the fool of the joke.
"Team work can be a very powerful weapon when done well, but it can also be a very great weakness." Added Whitesword.
"You are a good warrior Whitesword, you impress me." Commented Jaken. "You see Seaslug, the danger with team work is to forget your personal skill, if you can only function as a team, then when one of your team member is taken out, the rest will fall like dominos. The Koai Triplets have design this formation believing it covers their Medabots weaknesses, but it also exposes them to the smart opponent who realise what you are trying to cover. Do not underestimate Team Japan, they will pick up the weakness in the Koai Triplet's plan and exploit it. The key to victory is to simply take out one of the three Moai Medabots. As stated before, this match was lost when they took their formation right from the start."
"Those fools..." Added Kinlyu "When you want to cover a weakness it is best to train to do it yourself, rather than rely on others, because you might not always have that other to help you. Team Japan on the other hand can attack as a team, but defend themself as individuals, if one of their teamates go down, the other two can still keep on fighting."
The Robo scratched his head"Uuuh....yeah... I get it now."
"No you don't." Pointed out Jaken before moving back to his couch.
Seaslug growled softly, returning his attention back to the battle just as Pan burst from behind Moa, ready to smash Gallahaste and Sumilidon.
"It's shame X wasn't there today either. Maybe I did killed her after all." Added Kinlyu.
The Sphinx type shook his head."Trust me... she's tougher than that."
----------
Pan flew above Moa, club ready to strike. Sumilidon and Gallahaste only had their incredible reflex to rely on. In a split second the two sword weilder stopped and leaped backward as Pan hit the ground where the two use to stand only moments ago. There was a loud thud noise and a large cloud of dust and sand was raised. Sumilidon and Gallahaste even felt the wind created by the attack.
"That guy is STRONG!" Gasped Gwen.
Koji suddenly gasped "RETREAT!" He called loudly.
Gallahaste and Sumilidon didn't ask any question ran back to Metabee's side as more plasma ball started falling from the sky as the dust cloud subsided. Once it all cleared Team Japan saw Pan walk back behind Moa's protective shield as Rapanui's volcanic shower continued, leaving behind the crater his club had created.
"Moa's shield are inpenetrable! Everytime we try to get closer we have to deal with Rapanui's volcanic shower and if we manage to get through Pan and his club are waiting to smash us! What are we going to do?" Said Gwen, sumarizing the situation.
"We need to take out Moa..." Commented Ikki "Their whole strategy rests on Moa covering for the other Medabot's weaknesses."
"Leave it to me! He's going down! SUMILIDON! Unsheat the Shadow Sword!" Ordered Koji.
Sumilidon burst from behind their last protection, his claws surrounded by a dark aura that started growing larger and darker as he charge forward, slaloming around the falling plasma balls.
"Those plasma balls are powerful but they can only be shot at a certain angle and are really too predictble for Sumilidon's speed!" Commented Koji "GO FOR IT! LET YOUR ROAR BE HEARD!"
"He's really getting into this." Sweatdropped Sophie, hearing Koji's call all the way in the crowd.
Sumilidon shot himself forward readying his charged claws.
"SABRE ROAR!" He called loudly, sending his twin wave.
The first wave his the force field, pushing Moa backward a few feet before the field dissapeared.
Koji smiled "As I tought, he need to stay immobile for the force field to work!"
Then the second wave hit a few seconds after, breaking right through the Guardian Moai's shield, shattering them to pieces before hitting Moa's chest dead on. A few second later sumilidon, still flying forward hit his opponent feet first, bouncing back on his feet as Moa fell down to the ground, surrounded by the remains of his precious shield. His eyes suddenly went dull.
"Moa, Function Ceased!" Called Mister Referee.
"MOA NO!!!" Called Ka.
"Oh! That was a very interesting move." Commented Adam.
"Great style too!" Added Ravenhawk.
"All yours Metabee!" Declared Ikki, with a wide smile.
"MISSILE LAUNCHED!"
"You think you got us just because Moa's out?" Laughed Ki.
"Show 'em your skills Rapanui!" Ordered Ko.
Just as the seeker missile flew closer to the exposed Pan and Rapanui, the Volcanic Moai aimed his canon almost straight toward the projectiles and fired! The plasma ball flew across the field describing a small arc before hitting the missile directly! There was a large explosion that was strong enough to knock Sumilidon off his feet! That's when Pan burast out of the smoke cloud, charging toward Sumilidon and above to crush him with his weapon! There was a loud clanging noise and suddenly Gallahaste was there, blocking Pan's weapon with his shield, defending Sumilidon.
Sumilidon looked up as his teammate was straining to hold the Warrior Moai"Gallahaste! You shouldn't put yourself in danger!"
"Do not worry about me, those who are always concerned about their safety are doomed to fail!" Replied the Knight, before he stabbed Pan through the foot with his sword, nailing him to the floor. "Make haste Lord Sumilidon, take out their leader!"
Sumilidon catch the drift and within second he dash toward Rapanui. All alone the Volcanic Moai had no more protection and he was no match for Sumilidon. In a flash it was all over and his Medal hit the floor.
"RAPANUI, FUNCTION CEASED! THE WINNER IS TEAM JAPAN!" Declared Mr. Referee.
While the crowd was going wild and the officials were collecting Moa and Rapanui's Medal, Adam was getting off his seat.
"Let's go guys, we got time before dinner for some training." He declared flatly.
"You don't want to see France VS Noth-Korea? It's only in 15 minutes." Asked Martin.
"No... we saw the important stuff for today. Koji's mastery of the Shadow Sword is becoming impressive." Replied the Team Captain.
Soon they were on their way to the exit. When they turned a corner, they noticed someone walking in the corridor ahead. It was a young man about Adam's age and height, he had short black hair, with strickingly pale skin. He was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a west that was half blue and half red striped white. The young man stopped and so did Adam once they were a few feet apart. The other man's golden Medawatch appeared very shiny under the cheap neon lighting.
"George." Said Adam.
"Adam." The young man replied.
"Here we go again..."Tought Sophie, recalling the encounter with Victor.
But this time, the Canadian Team Captain didn't do a thing, he just stood there, in some sort of glaring contest with the American Team Captain. You could feel the tension in the air.
"I'll see you tomorow. Don't expect us to go down easy. We are Americans after all."Added George, walking by Adam, chuckling slightly.
"Don't be too cocky Georgy, my team is excellent." Declared Adam, not even turning back before he too resumed walking.
"Woh... they really ARE rivals." Commented Sophie, to an equally surprised Martin.
