Review replies:
Mad-man: Huh yeah. Don't mention it tough, that was a while ago and it's behind me. Not only did I left that style behind, but those fics weren't really good compared to what I do now. There's only ONE HellRavenmon :p.
Phantom Kansai: Oops... thanks for pointing those mistakes out. I have to admit I'm kinda improvising Adam's character depth ^^;;.
Sounds of footsteps, a cape fluttering in the wind, servos grinding in a Medabot and the far off sound of screeching tire. The Phantom Renegade and ArcBeetle were running madly down a darkened street, trying to get away as fast as posible from the Medamasters. Looking back Henry saw a black Rubberobo van burst from a road, at full speed, going up on two tires as it turned toward them, almost falling. Bubonik's 'face' could be seen behindthe wheel and he seamed to have the time of his life and be laughing. In a maniacal manner off course.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM US PHANTOM RENEGADE!"
"This way!" Called Henry before he and his Medabot ducked in a small driveway size alley.
The Rubbberobo van screeched to a halt, knocking down a bus sign pole, a bench and trash can as it climbed on the sidewalk to block the alley's exit. Kundar was the first to emerge, jumping right through the van's side like it wasn't there before the sidedoor burst open , letting Bubonik and Sullah exit. They found themself facing a small building with a garage door and partially open door next to it. No doubt the Phantom and his Medabot had entered the building to hide. There was no other place to hide in the alley, no dumpster, no manhole cover, no emergency ladder or doors. Nothing.
"Let's hurry before they find another exit." Proposed Sullah, pulling out his sword and letting it trail on the ground as all three walked toward the door.
"Descon, Landrager, converge on our position." Called Kundar into a small comunication system attached to his wrist.
The three Medamasters carefully walked toward the door. Everything was silent, save for the low humming of the van's running engine. The three Medabots immediatly dropped into defensive position when a blue light flashed through the door's opening.
"What the f..." Started Bubonik before the garage door was ripped apart by a laser blast that sailed across the alley, passing through Kundar like he wasn't there before ending it's course hitting the van.
"LOOK OUT!" Shouted Sullah, ducking to the side, move that Bubonik copied as a form emerged out of the building with the sound of an engine.
It was ArcBeetle, his legs changed for BMT style wheels, carrying the Phantom Renegade on his back! ArcBeetle charge forward in the alley, blasting forward at Kundar who had stay in the way. The Dream -type stood his ground, the laser blasts armlessly going through him.
"You can't harm me that way!" He gloated before an explosion behind him caught him off guard.
He had forgotten their vehicule. ArcBeetle wasn't aiming at him, he was aiming at the van who had finally given way to the KBT's assault. He turned around, shocked, before ArcBeetle and his passanger drived through him and rushed through the flaming debris of the Rubberobo van.
"Damnit they're getting away again!"Rage Sullah, before slapping Kundar in the back of his head "This is all your fault too! Instead of showing off and wasting your Dream Scape's energy you could have tried to stop them!"
"Why not complain to HIM! He's the one with the missiles." Complained the Dream -type , pointing at Bubonik.
Sullah sighed "Nevermind! They won't get far." He said, pointing at two shapes who flew across the night sky above them.
Henry was holding on for his life to his Medabot's back, using ArcBeetle power gatherer as handles. He looked back behind his shoulder to see if the Medamasters were pursuing. He didn't saw Sullah, Kundar and Bubonik, but he did saw a Medamaster.
"TO THE RIGHT!" Shouted Henry quickly.
ArcBeetle obeyed his command without question, swerving to the right side of the street a few seconds before Descon's shackle impacted on the pavement, creating one heck of a pothole before flowing back to it's owner. Descon was jetting through the air horizontally at full speed, following Henry and ArcBeetle down the street.
"Henry!" Gasped ArcBeetle as he spotted Landrager charging at them up ahead, roaring.
The phantom pointed to a street they would reach before the giant flying bug "Turn there!"
It was incredibly well timed. Just as ArcBeetle turned, leaning on two wheel as Henry put his weight in the opposing direction to avoid a crash, Descon fired his two shackles. The impact caused a plume of dust into wich Landrager charge before crashing on the ground, rolling to a halt, confused. The beast roared, getting up and taking flight again, following Descon and their targets.
"We lost the other three but what are we gonna do about Descon and Landrager?" Asked ArcBeetle, swerving to the left to avoid another assault, this time from Descon's shoulder mounted blaster.
"We can handle those two by ourself, neither of them is really smart and we can lead them to a secure place were we won't risk too much property damage." Replied Henry, shouting over the wind.
"RIGHT!" Agreed the KBT.
---------
Adam was chomping down a hot dog, walking down a darken street, heading back to his hotel. Everything was silent save for a few cars heard in the distance. Ravenhawk was the first to break the tranquility.
"You're still feeling guilty because of what happened don't you?" He asked.
After a paused, and after swallowing the last bite of his hot dog, his Medafighter answer"How can't I? I was the one driving... I should have seen him coming... I should have paid attention to the road, put my reflexes to good use!"
"He was drunk Adam, I don't understand how you can feel guilty when the LAW found HIM guilty. He came out of nowhere anyway." Replied Ravenhawk, trying to make his Medafighter feel better.
"Still... If only I could go back in time to change all that..." He sighed as he look at the little silver ring shining on his finger.
A black glow surrounded the ring, not taking any definite form. Adam looked at the ring and the glow with a sad expression.
"I survived because of this... my body was more resistant because of my Shadow Sword training... she didn't have that luck." He lowered his hand as the glow dissapeared "George never forgave me either."
"He won't forgive you until you forgive yourself Adam, as long as he feel your guilt he will think he has reason for blaming you." Comented the TTM Medabot.
They both returned to silence, walking down the dark street. A few feet further they saw a man sleeping on the stairs leaving up to a door, the man was dressed in a fine buisness suit, albeit in bad shape, and he was holding a bottle of some alchool. Adam glared at the scene and growled softly.
"I despise alchool..." He commented softly.
-------------
ArcBeetle drove into the park, making another sharp turn on two wheels before speeding in the deserted alleys, passing buy a few park bench and then hitting the brakes as they neared a large statue of a samurai on a horse. Henry jumped off his steed and hit his Medawatch.
"Transport Medapart!" he ordered, sending a blue beam at his Medabots wheels and changing them back to his normal leg set.
"Henry! Here they come!" Called ArcBeetle, pointing to the two Medamasters in the sky.
The Medafighter and the KBT mark II only had a few second before Descon's shackle hit the ground again. They swiftly avoided the attack without trouble. Half a minute later Landrager landed, roaring once again, while Descon hovered a few inches above the ground.
"You won't escape." Stated Descon, followed once again by a roar from Landrager.
"We'll see about that! We're ready to fight!"
"THEN IT'S AGREED!" Called a familiar voice from up above.
Mister Referee suddenly poured out of the bronze horse's mouth, falling on the ground before regaining composure. Henry sweatdropped while the referee dusted himself.
"I officially declare this an handicap robattle betweem team Descon and Arcbeetle! Medabots and Medafighter ready? Medabots... ROOOOOBATLE!"
"Attack mode Arcbeetle! Get in there, we have to get rid of Descon first!" Ordered Henry.
"Tri Laser!" Called the Medabot, firing at the two Medamasters who took off before the blast harmlessly hit the ground.
"Hurry ArcBeetle, leap after Descon before he can get high enough!" Called Henry.
While from the air Descon had managed to follow them down the street, his flying speed was a lot lower than Landrager's. Henry planned to use this to his advantage.
ArcBeetle took a mad dash forward and leapt up, firing with his laser while reeling his fist back. Descon brought his arms up, using his near indestructible shackles to protect his face and chest from the laser shot, managing not to be thrown backward by the force of the blow, but by then the KBT was close enough to punch him, the attack sent descon backward into a tall tree, dissapearing in the branches. Before ArcBeetle could even start his descent Landrager flew in from behind and smashed his large claws into the beetle's back, sending him to the ground face first. Arcbeetle bounced because of his protuding horn and landed on his back.
"Warning, 25% to back panel. 10% damage to lower horn." warned the Phantom's Medawatch.
Landrager wasn't finished, he dived toward his downed prey, ready to smash him to bits with his claws.
But Henry was ready "ArcBeetle! Fireball!"
ArcBeetle's horn crackled with energy as if charging a prominence but it was a lot faster and he quickly shot a small ball of plasma fire. The attack hit Landrager dead on and threw him off course, but there was no time to pause as the sound of a blast was heard. The KBT didn't even took time to thing he just rolled to the side and flipped back to his feet. One of Descon's blast coming from the device on his back hit the ground where he had landed. The Nataku -type was out of the tree and hovering beneath it. Landrager landed and charged madly toward his opponent.
"ArcBeetle! Forget Descon, fire at Landrager!" Called Henry.
The brown Medabot wiped around and started firing at Landrager with all he had, blasting with both his Tri Laser. Landrager did all he could to block with his arms while not stopping. Pieces of his armor were falling off his horns and claws, his left wing got blasted away, he even lost one of his right leg and yet he kept charging. Taking his chance while ArcBeetle was distracted, Descon lifted his arm and aimed toward him and fired!
"Wait my signal Arcbeetle..." Instructed as Landrager was getting closer and closer like the mad beast he was, his armor a wreck but still solid enough to crush the KBT with his claws, meanwhile Descon's twin shackle flew through the air aimed at his exposed back.
Then just at the right time "NOW!" shouted Henry.
ArcBeetle lept as far as he could to the side, and for a good reason because the flying shackles slammed into Landrager, causing sharp shards of armor to fly all around. When the smoke and dust clear Landrager was just a heap of metal scrap who had been dragged a few feet by the strength of Descon's attack.
"Landrager, function ceased!" Declared Mr. Referee.
The KBT mark II stood up and aimed toward Descon but suddenly the Nataku type flew forward, toward his fallen comrade as his shackle burst out of the body, flying toward ArcBeetle. This took the hercules beetle by surprise, making him loose his footing and fall back on his butt. The shackle returned to their owners as he grabbed hold of what was left of Landrager before suddenly taking off with all his might.
"Huhh... Team Descon forfeit the match, the winner is ArcBeetle!" Declared Mr. Referee, walking away as he scratched his head.
"He prefered to run away than to risk them falling into our hand!" Commented the Phantom, surprised.
"At least we got away." Added ArcBeetle.
"Still.. this isn't good... the Medamasters are back with the Rubberobo, and the one who stole the Medamaster's Medal was X's mortal enemy Kinlyu Fuuma. I don't like this at all, it seams everybody is getting together. This is defenatly not a good concept." Replied Henry.
"But what could their goal be..."Henry shruged "We should go to bed and contact the others tomorow, I feel DRAINED." Complained the Medabot.
Henry nodded "Me too... let's go home."
To Be Continued...
Will Adam ever forgive himself? Will he manage to defeat George? Exactly what do the Rubberobos and their allies want anyway? Don't miss the next chapter of Third Challenge!
AN: Next week I'll probably update Blood Medal!
