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 own creations.

AN: I uploaded a new version of Chapter 31. I had forgotten to explain what was the Sabre Roar, silly me. Now review replies:

Phantom Kensai: True, but you know how the Robos aren't all that smart. This is your favorite story? Thanks!

Shadow Knight: As evil as Cliffies are, they get people to come back even after 31 chapters. It's a well tested method that prooved it's value many times. Personally I prefer to create my Medabots with style, rather than lots of weaponry. I'll keep on writing, don't worry.

Random Master: Angry Toga people? NO! I designed my Team Greece before Super Hurricane came up with THAT idea. My inspiration lies elsewhere. Oh and please calm down with the astronomical Medabot and the bazookas oO.

Third Challenge,part 32

by:HellRavenmon





After a gigantic dinner, Adam finally came out of the restaurant 'The Road to Rome', followed by his two bored teamates and all three Medabots. Both Adam and Ravenhawk looked serious and in deep tought. Sophie not only looked bored, she looked pissed.

"Next time you want to drown whatever's troubling you in Italian Cuisine you should tell us. It's the last time I spend two hours in a restaurant watching you try to fit the bottomless pit that is your stomach!" Complained the girl.

"Don't be so mean Sophie, it's clear whatever Adam's not telling us is not a pleasent memory." Pleaded Martin "Still sure you don't want to talk about it?" He then ask his captain.

"No... but thank you for caring. Go back to the hotel or do whatever you want. Just be in shape for tomorow. Come Ravenhawk." Simply replied the young man, before going in the opposite direction from the hotel.

"Where are you going?" Called Martin.

Adam turned around slightly "Snack bar! I want some hot dogs." He answered, before tripping on a crack in the sidewalk and falling down.

"Oh damn..." Cursed Sophie, slapping her forehead.

A few hours before that, in the Medadome, Whitesword was closing in on his target, the mysterious intruders. A few feets ahead of him, passed a corner, hiding behind one was Shadow Rose K and RedRogue, spying on the two officials up ahead.

"I'm looking forward to the end of that plan. The sooner the better." Commented one.

"Yeah, I'll feel better once that red ninja's out of our hair. He gives me the creeps." Replied the second one.

Behind them, RedRogue and K held a gasp of surprise.

"What could they be talking about? And what can Kinlyu have to do with all of this?" Whispered the girl.

"Let's keep following them, we'll learn soon enough." Replied RedRogue, as quietly as her Medafighter.

They weren't aware that behind them, Whitesword had arrived and spotted them. He took out a little remote control like device and entered a command. Suddenly a large steel door felt loudly right in front of the two ninjas. A command later, another one fell behind Whitesword. The three of them were now trapped. The two girl turned around and found Whitesword, weapon out.

"I was pleasently surprised to find you here, ninja girl." Declared the Medabot.

"Whitesword! Why did you trap us?" Asked RedRogue, taking a defensive stence."And what are you doing here anyway?"

"The reasons of my presence are none of your concern. All that matters is that I can now take my revenge on you, this time you're little tricks won't be as effective and in this corridor, my fighting style is giving me the advantage." Replied Whitesword, with an audible smirk, before he raised his katanna.

"He's right..." Realised K. "This corridor is so narrow that with his range he can cover the entire width! This field is giving him an incredible advantage! We have to get out of here!"

"You're not going anywhere, the only way out is with my remote, and you're not getting it without a fight." Simply said Whitesword, throwing the remote on the floor behind him.

"Looks like we have no choice RedRogue, get ready to fight. Transport Medapart!" Declared ShadowRose, sending a beam to switch RedRogue's left arm.

In a flash of light, her arm turned into a new look. It was a mostly orange arm with a round shoulder, the upper arm had no features but the delicate forearm looked wrapped in white bandages all the way up to the wrist. Above her fine hand was a deadly looking curved blade. Whitesword looked at the new weapon and chuckled.

"An OtsuArm... very well, but that won't help you... I shall defeat you this time RedRogue!"

Doctor Aki ran down the darken corridor, almost out of breath before he errupted into the hospital room.

"KASUMI!" He gasped, stopping to catch his breath.

"Doctor..."Said the woman, sitting in her hospital bed and surrounded by her three Medabot.

Half an hour ago, the Doctor had received words that Space Medafighter X had finally woken up. He arrived at the private hospital as fast as he could. When she saw him enter Kasumi smiled and removed the ShadowRose mask she still sported.

"How do you,,, feel... now?" He ask, finally getting some air.

"I'm fine thank you. Weak but good. I'll have to thank your neice for her help, I wouldn't have made it without her and thank you for this hospital." Answered X.

"It's the least I could do for you. You did help save the world AND I owe it to Professor Hushi. I'll give your thanks to Karin as soon as I see her. You know the Tournament started." Replied the Doc, taking a chair.

"We already briefed Kasumi on what happened so far. " Said Seagaru.

"The doctors told her she won't be able to get out before the next match." Added Spiritus, apparantly frustrated "Guess we won't see action yet."

"You're gonna have to be replaced again. Gwen did a good job, same for Karin." Commented the Doc.

Kasumi shook her head "Don't worry, I already tought of someone who owes me a favor. So what is up with that new rule about Medals?"

"I know what you mean, it's very odd. I heard the Federation's board was changed recently, that might explain the change. Shadow Rose K is on the case as we speak."Started Dr. Aki. " She's also investigating that strange tunnel we found. Maybe you already know but the Medamasters have reapeared with new body. "

"We told her, but I still don't see the deal with those Medamasters."Pointed out Syren " I don't think they're any match for us."

"They did almost take out Gallahaste and you know very well he's at my level." Retorked Seagaru.

"We shouldn't underestimate them. Who could have brought back those criminal Medabots?"Inquired X.

"From what little clues we have, it was Kinlyu who stole the Medamaster's Medals." Answered the man.

X growled slightly, clenching her fist as she heard her nemesis's name "Kinlyu... what could he want with them? He's after me, not the kids. He doesn't even know who is Shadow Rose K."

"Phantom Renegade suspects the Rubberobo Gang and he too is gone on investigation, he think he spotted one of their hideout. I don't like the way things seam to go... Your old enemy escaping from jail, the Medamasters showing up, and that strange new rule. I have the feeling thngs are only going to get worse." Said the Doc, taking a grim look.

"Cheer up Doc! We can handle this, we got an all star cast of powerful Medafighters! We got a handful of Rare Medals, two Warlords, two Shaman, a Queen, a Mage, four Shadow Sword Masters, a pair of Ninjas, and the deadly Syren!" Declared Spiritus, materialising her chinese style Shadow Sword.

"I wish I was as confident as you... so tell me, who are you gonna ask to replace you for the match against Greece?" Replied the older man.

"Just... family."

the Phantom Renegade looked out toward the setting sun. He was standing atop a electrical pole. Beside him was ArcBeetle. A few house away, below them, was an old, apparantly abbandonned house with a large yard all around it surrounded by a wall. It was three story tall and mostly wood. It looked decrepit but according to the few inhabitants of this old part of town, people and Medabots had been seen around it.

"Think it can be a Rubberobo Hideout Henry?" Asked Arcbeetle.

"That answers your question?" Replied the young man, pointing to a lone Noctobat who flew in one of the upstair window.

The Medabot nodded. The two then skillfully jumped in the alley below. A minute later they reached the outer wall of the house. They both lept up on top of the wall and looked around to make sure they hadn't been spotted. There wasn't anybody around, but right below them , strung betweem two trees was a rope with old can hanging from it. Henry pointed to it and to other similar construction at various point in the yard.

"That screams Rubberobo Gang." He whispered.

"Exactly." Nodded his Medabot.

The two leaped off, flying above the cans and landing on the grass. Looking up, Henry suddenly noticed a little metal device coming out of the ground. He cursed when he realise it had a camera embedded into it.

"DRATS! They're smarter than I tought!" He realised, before turning around to escape.

Sadly the Robos had acted fast and spikes and barbed wire had emerge from the top of the wall, making it impossible to escape that way.

"Let that be a lesson to you Phantom Renegade!"Said a voice with an australian accent.

Kundar, the Dream -type Medamaster was comming out of the wall of the house. Then a window opened and Sullah landed next to him, soon followed by Bubonik and finally the repaired Descon floated down to hover above them. Henry knew what Descon looked like, but something was diferent, he didn't have the long staff the others described but what looked like a compressed air bottle coming out from his back. Sullah pulled out his sword, already flaming red.

"You've been trouble for the last time Phantom Renegade." He declared.

"Four against one? That's hardly fair for you." Said Henry, as he and ArcBeetle got ready for battle.

"Actually, there is five of us." Added Bubonic, smirking.

That's when the roar was heard...

To Be Continued...

What's eating Adam so much that he has to eat so much? Can RedRogue defeat Whitesword once again? Who did X chose to replace her in the match against Greece? What kind of beast will come after that roar? And will Henry and ArcBeetle be able to handle it?Don't miss the next chapter of Third Challenge!

AN: Lots of Kudos if anyone ever find where I got the idea for the OtsuArm wich is my original concept. I doubt anyone will, but I'm just mentionning it anyway :p. The Otsu stands for Otsuru.
