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: Two updates to my fics in a week! Impressive no? But don't expect that to happen to often, I just had more free time this week than usual that's all. Not much to say out of that... so I'll reply to some reviews since I haven't done that in a while:

Jumper Prime: Glad you're happy ^_^. I hope you didn't mind I changed the name of his special attack to 'Fourth of July', I just tought it sounded more patriotic :p.

RusVal: I already had Ravenhawk to cover the native american theme anyway. I had been given a CowBoy as a suggestion :p. Don't say that, you never know with me hehehehe.

Phantom Kansai: Thanks for your concern. Yeah I changed Rocket's Red Glare for the reasons mentionned above. I guess Medabots do need their Medafighters after all and only the most exeptionnals can fight without instructions. None the less it probably distabilize them to fight without a Medafighter.

Martial Master: Well for one chapter it usually take me a day but my chapter are pretty shorts and it depends on how I feel. Don't be so harsh on yourself, I'm not that good either, I've seen people who can write circle around me with no problem... some of them younger than me too.

Third Challenge,part 36




Ravenhawk's word echoed through Adam's mind as he saw, as if in slow motion, the Fourth of July attack fly toward his Medabot partner.

"So what is it going to be Adam? Give up or fight?"

How could he fight? He couldn't save Dana and now neither he nor George could have her, never again would they see her smile and her sparkling eyes. Images flashed through his mind... flashback of a time long gone... memory of how he had defeated George to get the right to ask Dana out that night, they always did that but in the end they would end up doing it alternately, the previous winner letting the other win. They were friends back then but now... now George hated him. Friend... he had new friends now. He shot a glance to see Sophie and Martin trying their best against Abe and Ted, their Medabots were in trouble but supporting each other. Sophie used to be much colder than that but now the two of them were getting closer. Ravenhawk was also his friend. Adam suddenly remembered all the people back home who had wished him good luck, all those watching at this instant event tough it was the middle of the night in Canada, and then he tought of Ravenhawk. He was letting everybody down just because he felt guilty about something that had nothing to do with robattles! Now Adam knew the answer, and he still had time to act. He quickly rose his Medawatch to his mouth.

"Fight Ravenhawk..."Softly started the young man " FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT! FIIIIIIIIGHT!" He finally shouted as the attack was about to reach his Medabot.

There was a sudden flash of black and then a huge explosion shooked the arena, blinding slightly people looking at it and making the entire crowd gasp of surprise.

"Do... do you think Ravenhawk avoided the attack?" Asked Erika.

"No..." Simply said Koji, causing his friends to gasp. "He didn't dodge...he faced the attack with everything he had. Look." He added, pointing to the battleground.

The smoke from the Fourth of July had dissipated and there, surrounded by craters and totally undamage, axe glowing with the dark power of the Shadow Sword, was Ravenhawk. There was a second collective gasp of surprise.

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?" Asked Samtron, taking a step back.

"I didn't have time to avoid your attack, the only way to get out of this situation was to face it with all my power. Now...let's FIGHT!"

"So that's how it is Adam, you feel no guilt over what you did?" Asked George.

"Far from it, but I cannot let my country, and my friends, down because of our dispute! Ravenhawk! Toma-axe!" Called Adam.

Ravenhawk shot forward and swiped with his axe, missing Samtron by a few inches, but still scratch marks appeared on the Patriot's chest. Ravenhawk started to circle the red,blue, and white Medabot at great speed, avoiding the laser blasts sent his way. Meanwhile, things weren't that great for Harwing and Snomotor who were still on the ground with their opponent targetting them for a final blow. Luckily for them the large explosion caused when Ravenhawk faced the Fourth of July had distracted Lucky Star and Bash just long enough! Snomotor got back to his feet and quickly transform, charging forward while Harwing shot the lasso holding her with extreme precision, in a flash she was up in the air, the frozen metallic lasso breaking from her pull.

The pulling brought back Lucky Star to his battle "Wha?"

He only had enough time to jump out of the way as Snomotor charged betweem he and Bash, partially hitting the military -type and sending him to the ground. The SNO -type did a quick turn around and changed back into robot mode and opened fire on Bash! The American Medabot fire with his flamethrower, making the missiles explode before they reached their target once again.

"You're going down, snow boy!" Declared Lucky Star aiming straight for Snomotor.

"Forgetting about me?" Asked Harwing, landing a powerful flying kick right in Lucky Star's back, sending him to the ground.

But Lucky Star was a tough guy and he quickly switched around, his gun still ready to fire and he did just that on the unsuspecting Harwing. She barely had time to hold out her hand in protection before she was sent flying back to the other end of the field by the explosion. She landed in a smoking heap, crying out in pain.

"Harwing!" Gasped Snomotor, before he found himself on the receiving end of a repeater salvo.

Without his shield to protect him Snomotor felt the force of the assault and felt the following blast of fire even more!

"BURN! HAHAHAHAHAHA! BURN!" Laughed Bash.

Harwing wasn't finished yet and she struggled to get back up while Snomotor was being barbequed. Lucky Star chuckled as he cocked his revolver once more. He was ready to fire again.

"Time to finish you off lil' lady! You've been more trouble than you're worth." He said coldly, aiming at the struggling snowy owl Medabot.

"No Harwing! NO!" Gasped Sophie, looking plain terrified.

"Snomotor! You got to do something for Harwing! She's gonna be blasted apart!" Called Martin over the warning sounds of his Medawatch.

"30%...40%...50%... 60%... overheating... shut down imminent..."

"Har...wing..." Grunted Snowmotor, still trapped in the firestorm caused by Bash. "Har...HARWING!" He shouted.

Suddenly the flames exploded with white light, causing Bash to stop his assault as his flames dissipated. The crowd made a collective gasp as Snomotor appeared, surrounded by a bright white light. Abe, Ted and Bash were completly speecheless while Lucky Star slowly turned around to see where the light came from.

"What in tarnation..."He muttered.

"The... Medaforce... Snomotor is summoning the Medaforce!" Commented Ikki excitedly, jumping on his seat.

"This is so cool!" Added Metabee.

"It's kinda romantic too." Commented Brass.

Bash opened fire with his repeaters but the shot bounced off the aura surrounding Snomotor.

"Leave...her... ALONE! MEDA... FOOOOOOORCE!!!" He shouted loudly as a powerful beam of white light erupted from his chest and shot straight toward Lucky Star.

The cowboy's scream of fear were drowned by the sound of the Medaforce impacting on him. In a streak of white he was sent flying toward the other end of the battlefield. Sophie tackled Martin out of the way as Lucky Star flew above them and slammed into the force field behind them. His smoking and crushed carcass landed on the ground like a pile of scrap metal as Snomotor collapsed to his knees, out of energy.

"Lucky Star ceased functionning!" Declared Mr. Referee over the sound of the raging crowd.

But they weren't out of the wood yet.

"Nice little number but you should have took the time to get rid of me too... now you and you're little girlfriend are gonna be easy prey for me." Said Bash, aiming his flamethrower at his opponent.

That's when the second miracle happened and a blue light started to shine behind Bash. The Medabot froze in fear.

"Don't count me out yet!" Called Harwing, raising back to her feet as a bright blue aura developped around her.

"Wow! Harwing too! This is an INCREDIBLE Robattle!" Gasped Erika, taking a load of pictures.

"Team Canada is really strong." Smiled Karin.

"No... it's...it's imposible..." Gasped Bash, loosing his cool as the frightful sight of the glowing Harwing.

The female Medabot started to fly up, still surrounded by the energy of the Medaforce. "I don't like to owe people so I always repay them quickly... MEDAFORCE!!!" She called loudly before firing a blue blast from her hand.

Just like his teamate Bash screamed his fear as the attack raced toward him like a deadly comet falling from the sky. The attack slammed into him and cracked the ground all around him, sending pieces of concrete flying around. Sophie noticed that some of the pieces left the holographic projector's field and dissapeared, even the floor was an illusion. Harwing softly landed on her feet as the blue light dissapated. The dust raised by her attack dissipated as well and everybody was shocked to find Bash encased in a large ice crystal, struck in a position that clearly shown fear.

"BASH IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!" Declared Mr. Referee as the HRF type collapsed to her knees just like Snomotor a minute earlier.

While those extremely impressive events occured Samtron and Ravenhawk were still in a deadly dance, neither could do more than a few scratches on the other. The series of blasts, light flashes and explosion hadn't distracted Adam and George, or their Medabots, one bit.

"You got a strong team." Commented Samtron, firing a blast at Ravenhawk.

"Thank you... but I'm stronger." Replied the Totem Medabot as he dodged and dashed forward with his full speed.

"And I stronger than you! FOURTH OF JULY!" Called the Patriot, leaping backward to attack.

"I already prooved your attack innefective! Change your tune Sammy!" simply said Ravenhawk as his axe glowed with the shadow sword again.

Ravenhawk slashed the air and sent a wave of dark energy flying, plowing through the Fourth of July and negating it before it hit Samtron and sent him flying backward, but he landed squarely on his feet. Now the two rivals were appart and each sported his fair share of damage.

"How about we end this like an old fashion duel... everything in one attack." Proposed George.

"Yeah, I'm getting hungry, let's finish this quickly!" Agreed Adam.

"We'll see if your Shadow Sword is as strong as you claim Ravenhawk!" Called Samtron as he suddenly started glowing with intense red energy.

"Woh! That guy is crazy! Ravenhawk is a master of the Shadow Sword technique! He'll plow right through the Medaforce and take him out!" Commented Ikki.

"Yeah but... don'tr you feel the intensity of his Antvara?" Asked Metabee. "I think it'll all be decided by who wants to win the most, rather than who uses what type of energy."

"I see... let's hope Adam has enough resolve then." Added the boy.

Ravenhawk responded to Samtron's glowing form with a glow of his own. The dark glow of the Shadow Sword spread from just his axe weilding arm to his whole body, and even his eyes seam to darken. A new Toma-axe made entirely out of shadow energy formed out of his hammer fist, growing in size to match the expended aura around the real axe wich made it look twice as large. For a moment it was as if the light of the dome were diming and all that everyone could see where the two Medabots and two Medafighters. Samtron looked like he was burning with crimsom flames while Ravenhawk gave off a surreal aura of darkness.

"Com'on Adam! You can beat him! Wer'll be like heroes back home!" Cheered Martin.

"Yeah! You beat me, I'm sure you can beat that loser!" Added Sophie.

Adam nodded then brought his Medawatch to his lips to issue a single command. "...Go."

George did the same and the two opposing robot dashed off toward each other. They took the air at the same time, Samtron realing back his hanhs as a ball of red energy formed betweem them while Ravenhawk crossed his his arms in front of himself.

Ravenhawk slashed his arms in a X position, sending an X shaped shockwave, while Samtron swung his hands forward, shooting the ball of energy.

"RAVEN WING!!!"

"MEDAFORCE!!!"

When the two blasts hit there was a large explosion that blinded everyone. Wind swept the Medabot and the crowd screamed in fear and excitement. Nobody had ever seen something quite like this before. The Medafighters had to fight to keep standing. When the light cleared Ravenhawk and Samtron were gone from the battlefield. They were landing on their back on their side of the field, behind their Medafighters. Everybody was still as the two Medabots started to slowly struggle back to their feet. They succeeded at the same time and they stood their for a moment until...

"As I tought..." Started Samtron "... I lost."

And with that he felt face first, his Medal ejecting out of his back while Ravenhawk let himself collapse to his knees.

Everything was silent until Mr. Referee suddenly remembered what he was there for "Samtron function ceased! THE WINNER ARE TEAM CANADA!"

The crowd went wild! Cheering the deserving victors of an exceptionnal Robattle. The competition had been fierce but Adam and Ravenhawk put everything they had in that last move and proved to their friends, their opponent, their country, and the world, they had the greater will to win. George and his team just turned their back on the battlefield, leaving the official to the dirty work of collecting the Medals, altough Bash's Medal would be saved since it hadn't been technically ejected.

"Hey George!" Suddenly called Adam, rushing to the American team Captain.

"What?" Codly asked the young man, not even turning around.

"Let's get together sometime to... catch up on old time." Proposed Adam.

George stayed silent for a moment. "... Every year... every year since then I go to her grave to put flowers...maybe... you could come with me next time..." He softly said before walking off with his team.

Adam stood there as Mr. Referee adressed the audiance "With this victory Team Canada now secures it's place in the Championship Rounds of the Tournament! One more round of applause for Team Canada!"

"Wow! That was SO cool!" Declared Erika, taking another series of picture.

"I want to face them in the Championship Rounds! Koji! Let's do our best to beat Greece tomorow!" Said Ikki, turning to his teammate.

"You can count on me! Let's hope X will be there for a change." Replied the boy.

"Hehehe...yeah." Giggled Karin, sweatdropping. "If only they knew... oh dear... I hope everything goes well." She tought.

In a corporate lodge a woman in a brown trenchcoat was watching the officials grab the Medals Team USA had lost. She was none other than Gillgirl of the Rubberobo gang, sided by her Medabot Mahiro. Behind her Seaslug was still raging on how he had loose his precious Whitesword to that ninja do gooder girl of Shadow Rose K. That's when a cellphone ring tone was heard.

"Can it will ya? Someone's calling me!" Complained Gillgirl, flipping her cellphone open with one flick of her wrist.

"Yeah what?" She asked, before taking a stunned expression "WHAT?!? Huh... yeah I understand but why would I do that for YOU?... Huh... Oh all right... yeah yeah I swear...No I'm not gonna do that, after that leave me alone!" She finished, shutting down the phone and heading to the door.

"Who was it?" Asked Seaslug.

"Just some annoying family... don't mind and go find yourself a new Medabot." She answered, slamming the door behind her and Mahiro.
