AN: Hi everyone.Nope I'm not dead, nor did I give up... I just had a slight... okay MAJOR case of writer's block, and I didn't have acess to the right computer to upload this ;; sorry. Review replies:

AnT: You think it's flirting :p. I didn't mean I'm gonna cut them entirely, they just won't be as present as in this story... they'll be more like guest stars than regular you know.

Phantom Kensai: Kansai is also a southern region of the main island (was it Honshu?) of Japan. No I haven't seen the trailer... not really interested in fact :p Sorry it took me a while to update.

Third Challenge,part 38


"YOU'RE NOT X! YOU'RE GILLGIRL!" Accused Ikki, pointing at the masked woman.

"WHAT?!" Asked Koji and Sumilidon.

"Where is X and what do you want you scum?!?" Asked Metabee, pointing his blaster at the fake X.

"X asked to replace her so lay off!" Growled Gillgirl.

"Why would she ask YOU to do that? Tell us where she is! You're here to ruin our Robattle I'm sure of that!" Called Koji, raising his fist.

The battle was about to begin! There wasn't much time!

Gillgirl sighed in defeat "Because I'm her sister, that's why. Now I promised my annoying sister not to hinder you and do my best to win this."

Ikki and Koji were stunned. Was she telling the truth? After all X and Gillgirl did looked similar when in the same get up. That's when the light shined onto them as they were introduced to the crowd, Mahiro being listed as X's Medabot. Team Japan didn't care when the crowd went wild.

"Why should we trust you anyway?" Inquired Metabee.

Gillgirl pointed into the crowd "If I wasn't here on X's behalf, SHE would have already attacked us."

The rest of the team looked in the direction and saw Spiritus sitting beside Erika and the others!

"It's... it's Spiritus! She came to see me Robattle!" Stated Sumilidon, shocked.

Koji groaned, they couldn't argue much, beside the match was about to begin. "Allright then... but try not to put yourself in danger, you're considered the leader."

Mr. Referee reminded them of what was going on "...from Europe... TEAM GREECE!" He shouted.

All three Medafighters were male, there was a young teenager as number 3 and two young man about Henry's age. The first one, the number 3 was wearing black pants and a black t-shirt with an armband adorned with their flag. He had grey hair and cold blue eyes. His Medabot had black feet similar in design to Crosserdog's, with spikey grey claws, but his hip armor were shaped like clawed paws. His chest was black with a red flame drawn on the front. He had cone shaped shoulder plate and his black arm were ended by huge dog like head with ferocious looking fangs and red eyes. Each head was holding in it's maw a chain ended by a spiked metal ball, the chained linked to a spiked collar at the 'wrist' of the arm. The Medabot also had a spiked collar at his neck and a head that looked like the one at the end of his arm, only it had red optics deep in it's open mouth.

The second Medafighter had mid-length curly blond hair and piercing reddish brown eyes. He wore jeans and a yellow t-shirt with a red vest, he too had the armband. His Medabot was insectile, or rather archnoid, in shape with four pointy legs, two arms and two little arms with three fingers at the hip. He was all red with darker shades as highlight. He had a segmented tail ended by a curve blade coming from his back, and his arms where big bulky flat pincer that looked a bit like clamps. His head was a flat bump with two red glowing eyes. He smashed his pincers together a few times, grunting agressively.

The leader of the team had short blond, almost golden, hair. He looked serious and almost noble. He had black pants and a white t-shirt with a yellow vest adorn with the symbol for the Zodiac sign Leo and he too wore the armband. His Medabot looked more imposing than the other and he was painted an almost shining gold color. He even wore a white cape. His right arm was shaped like the head of a roaring lion, from who's mouth came the blade of a double edge sword, the mane of the lion extended upward, being the arm, the shoulder pad, then the chest of the Medabot before flaring up as the opposite shoulder from wich a basic arm with a round came from. His massive Warbandit-like legs were adorned with a complicated pattern of curved line, and so was his skirt style hip armor.His helmet was round with a base that protected the back of the neck and a pair of triangle feature - probably representing lion ears - were pointing backward. He had a white face plate and in a hole you could see two rectangular blue eyes.

Koji felt a shiver go up and down his spine as he saw Scorpio "BUG! BUG! BUG! I HATE BUG! I HATE BUG!" He started to repeat, visibly shaken.

"You got a spider on your shoulder." Casually pointed out Mahiro.

Koji froze and looked at his shoulder, finding a small black spider.

"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Screamed Koji, dancing around, chased by Sumilidon.

The ninja Medabot chuckled "Relax! It's just one of my spider bomb."

Koji stoped and sighed "Oh it's just... A BOMB! GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF!" He screeched before Sumilidon grabbed the spider bomb and threw it back at Mahiro who caught it.

Her Medafighter hit the top of her head with a clenched fist. "This is no time to fool around."

Meanwhile the random field choser had halted on a scene that showed white marble columns,ruins and sea.

"The field for this battle will be... POSEIDON'S TEMPLE!" Declared Mr. Referee as the field transformed.

Some of the floor dissapeared, giving way to water. There was a main 'island' of floor in the center and a series of smaller one, as well as the top of marble columns appearing from the water. A piece of column was forming a bridge betweem two islands, while there was a part of wall on the center island, reliefs depicting scenes of the greek sea god Poseidon, one of the islands was completly covered by a slice of a bearded statue's head.

"Good thing none of them can swim, or it would have been way too lucky... then again what a coincidence." Commented Ikki.

"Be careful, that water is real water, the arenas are all actually pools of water and the floor itself is an hologram. " Pointed out Gillgirl.

Koji looked at the water. "Impressive."

"One last thing..." Began the X fill-in, as everyone took their place.

"MEDAFIGHTER READY?" Asked Mr. Referee.

"...They all know the Shadow Sword. " Finished the woman.

"ROBATTLE!"

------------

"You happy now? There's your Space Medafighter X!" Commented Seaslug, pointing down at the masked woman as the light shone on Team Japan.

"That's not X." Replied Kinlyu Fuuma, sipping a glass of wine through his mask.

"WHAT?!? You didn't even look!" Complained the Rubberobo, who was in his undercover clothes.

"I don't need to look. If X was in this building I would have felt her, this person down there's isn't X. She looks like X but isn't her." Explained the Ninja, finishing his glass and getting up. "I have no buisness here... I shall return to my training now." He added, before vanishing into thin air.

"What a creep... well if it ain't X, she sure look like her." Said Seaslug to himself, looking at the scene below... then he noticed the Medabot X was using.

"WHAT THE.. MAHIRO?"He stopped for a moment, confused, before taking on a shocked expression " THEN THAT MEANS...That means... that means... that means..." He started to stammer.

He took a long breath to calm himself down.

"That means the fake X stole Gillgirl's Medabot!" He finally concluded, in total shock.

Must be all that rubber...

------------

Erika looked at Spiritus, shocked "Why did X asked Gillgirl to fill in for her?!?"

"Gillgirl is actually X's sister... TWIN sister." Explained Spiritus " Gillgirl owed us a favor, and X seams bend on trying to get her out of the Rubberobo Gang and back on the right track."

"So... then this is somekind of ploy to make her realize what it feels to be with the good guys?" Wonered Brass, Spiritus nodded "But isn't it risky? Gillgirl could be defeated and Team Japan could loose!"

"X... and I must admit me too... believe in Gillgirl and Mahiro's skill. Beside, we know that Ikki and Koji would never let anything happen to her, they're too dedicated to victory. "

Erika smiled "You're right, nobody want to win more than those guys."

"MEDAFIGHTER READY?" Asked Mr. Referee.

Everyone nodded "MEDABOTS... ROOOOOOBATTLE!"

Gillgirl was the first one to react "GO FOR IT MAHIRO! SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'RE WORTH!"

To both Sumilidon and Metabee's surprise, Mahiro sped past them, leapt above the first straight of water. Meanwhile DarkHound and Scorpio had advanced to the central island. Mahiro, still in mid air, launched a serie of spider-bombs, a few hitting their target the rest hitting the ground and creating a cloud of smoke in wich Mahiro landed before leaping again toward Goldmane who hadn't moved a bit since the begining. In a swift motion she unsheated her knife and sliced at the golden Medabot. There was the sound of metal hitting metal as Goldmane block the assault.

Ikki and Koji had been taken aback by Gillgirl's action, but didn't have much time as DarkHound and Scorpio were going after their own Medabots! Scorpio's pincers opened and revealed holes at their center, without waiting large red spike were fired at Metabee who had to jump to a smaller island to avoid the attack. DarkHound and Sumilidon were both on the laying collumn that relied the center island to another one, the cerberus -type was swinging one of his chain in a circle, ready to send the metal ball flying toward a cautious Sumilidon. Slowly the STG -type started powering up his shadow sword, not letting his optic trail away from his oppoenent. To his surprise DarkHound's chain and ball started to give off a faint dark aura, a rudimentary shadisvara aura to be precise. While it might not be as powerful as his, far from it, it was enough to increase the damage severly.

"Who tought those guys the shadow sword?" Asked Koji.

"Actually it's a related technicalled called Tekage no Jutsu." Replied Gillgirl.

Those word triggered a memory for Ikki "Wha...like Shadow Rose K?!"

The woman nodded "Yes... the Rubberobo have allied with a ninja called Kinlyu Fuuma but I don't know why."

Koji and Ikki almost felt down in surprise "Team Greece works for the Rubberobo Gang?!"

"We got no time to talk about this!" growled the fake X.

Meanwhile Goldmane was holding up Mahiro with one arm while she was putting all of her strength onto her knife.

"I see how it is... you infiltrated their team to help us win...let's fake a fight until your partners are defeated." Declared the LEO with a calm almost booming voice.

"I think you missunderstand the situation." Stated Mahiro, backflipping before she leapt up atop a high pillar and fired spider bombs at her opponent. "I intend to defeat you." she added as a cloud of smoke appeared all around Goldmane.

"TRAITOR!" Roared the golden Medabot, his tattered cape flapping in the wind as he almost flew up to Mahiro.

Quickly the Iga Ninja backed away, letting herself fall off the pilla just as Goldmane took a swipe at her. He missed and had to land where she stood... that prooved to be a mistake when he stepped on another spider-bomb. The explosion sent him falling in the water.

Metabee jumped off his little island as it was pummeled by dart shaped missiles. He opened fired in mid-jump. Scorpio protected himself with his large pincer, but that blocked his sight letting him open for an attack.

"Metabee! Seeker Missile!" Ordered Ikki.

Metabee landed on firm ground "MISSILE LAUNCHED!"

Milos quickly issued a command "JUMP SCORPIO!"

Using his massive legs the large MEdabot launched himself upward, right above the missilles. The explosion gave him even more speed in his leap and he flew toward Metabee.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Warned Ikki, breaking Metabee out of schock. T

Metabee barely escaped to his previous island as Scorpio crashed in, pincer first where he had stood. Scorpio's pincer was glowing with dark energy. He opened fire on Metabee and once again the KBT tried to avoid the projectile but to his surprise, it following him like a seeker missile and hit his leg just as he was about to land. He felt down on trhe gorund, his leg was near useless now.

DarkHound finally stopped playing around and shot his metal ball toward Sumilidon! The Sabre-tooth Tiger leapt above the low projectile and was ready to strike at his opponent when suddenly he was hit in the back by the same spiked ball he tought he had avoided!

"How is that possible?" Asked Koji as Sumilidon was thrown above DarkHound and landed on the larger island behind him.

"With the Tekage No Jutsu he can direct his attack from a distance!" Warned Ikki.

DarkHound was laughing "I tought you'd be tougher than that!" He taunted, turning to Sumilidon who wasn't up yet, the impact had been quite violent.

"It's not over yet..." He growled.

"DarkHound! Finish him with your metal ball!" Ordered Dante.

"With pleasure!" And with that the Cerberus type threw his spiked ball toward Sumilidon.

The STG quickly rolled out of the way, back to his feet and was ready to charge when his side was hit by DarkHound's weapon, and then the second metal ball hit him right in the chest, sending him flying backward, almost falling in the water.

"SUMILIDON!" Shouted Koji.

"Warning, main body damaged 70%." Droned the Medawatch.

Sumilidon was on his knee and could barely stand.

"You see how powerless you are against me? Your ridiculous Shadow Sword is nothing compared to my technique... face it, you wasted your time training with a worthless teacher on an inferior skill! Now I'll finish you off for good!" Growled DarkHound, throwing one of his projectile at his weakened opponent.

Koji didn't even spoke in his Medawatch he just shouted out loud "SUMILIDON! GET OUT OF THE WAY! SUMILIDON!"

Suddenly it was as if Sumilidon's visor flashed and then there was the sound of metal hitting metal and Koji closed his eye... but the Medawatch didn't say a thing, all he heard was a collective gasp from the crowd. When he dared to look, he saw that Sumilidon was holding the ball with his bare hand, his whole hammer fist arm seamed coated with a shadisvara aura for a few second.

"How dare you...how dare you insult the mighty Shadow Sword? How dare you insult the one that tought me? I'll show you what a TRUE master of Shadisvara can do... little doggie." With that Sumilidon stood up, still holding the metal ball he crushed it in his grasp like it was a water balloon. "Beside, I will not allow myself to loose in front of her." He added, glancing at the crowd where Spiritus was seated.

"MY METAL BALL! GRRR... TAKE THAT!" DarkHound shot his second metal ball, this time it was completly surrounded by a dark aura and flew off at incredible speed toward Sumilidon.

"USELESS! TIGER FINALE!" Roared Sumilidon.

With one mighty downward swipe he sliced the ball in half and sent a wave of energy traveling toward his opponent, the attack shattering the chain in it's wake and sent DarkHound flying, his lower arm shattered into a thousand pieces, even his tin pet had been destroyed by the tiger finale.

"It's not over yet..." Stated Sumilidon, his body like engulfed in dark flames "Witness true power.. a power rightfully earned... SABRE ROAR!"

DarkHound was frozen in fear, and so was his Medafighter as the double shockwave flew toward the Cerberus type. The first wave shattered all of his remaining Medapart while the second sliced through the tinpet like a hot knife through butter. The shattered Medaparts and tinpet landed in the water with a loud splash while the medal ended up at Koji's feet. Sumilidon just stood there for a moment before collapsing on one knee, weakened by the strain he had put himself through.

Mahiro had been on her guard ever since Goldmane had fell in the water and the referee hadn't announced him to have ceased functionning. Before Sumilidon could unleash his Saber Roar attack, the ground in front of Mahiro suddenly burst and a roaring Goldmane burst from below. Mahiro quickly raised her weapon to protect herself from the incomming sword strike. She realised too late that Goldmane had his sword surrounded by an aura. The sword cut through her knife and sliced at Mahiro's chest, sending her backward. For a moment everything stood still as Mahiro was laying on the ground, a slash mark across her chest. Goldmane turned around in time to witness DarkHound's demise. "DARKHOUND FUNCTION CEASED!"

"No matter, Mahiro is down...I think that battle's over with...Ref!" Called the LEO -type, turning toward Mr. Referee, only to suddenly be hit by an exploding projectile right on the back.

"WHAT?" He turned around and saw the damaged Mahiro, standing, and aiming at him with her spiderbomb launcher.

"Why you..." The Lion charged at the impudent Ninja... a foolish move.

He stepped on a spiderbomb that had been laid on the ground, a few more around the first one exploded triggered by the blast.

"ARG!!" Shouted Metabee as one of Scorpio's dart was shot right in his left shoulder pad.

The projectile was deep in the shoulder joint and he couldn't move his arm anymore, it was too painful. He clutched his shoulder groaning. Scorpio dashed at Metabee and slammed his pincer into his opponent and sent him flying backward. The KBT slowly got up using only his undamaged arm and he glared at Scorpio.

"Your eyes are still filled with fire... you won't give up and that's something I hate... I think I'm gonna take out one of those eyes of yours first." With that the red Medabot aimed toward Metabee.

"No! Metabee! You got to do something!" Called Ikki.

"I'm sorry Ikki... I can't...move anymore...Kyi kyi kyi kyiii..." Groaned the medabot.

"No you can't give up now! I don't want to risk to loose you!" Ikki look down, and then he ad an idea "You think HELIOS would give up?"

"Good bye KBT..." Stated Scorpio, opening fire.

"METABEE!"

The projectile flew across the field at incredible speed. Suddenly there was a flash of golden light and when the blinding effect wore off there was yet another surprising sight for the crowd. Metabee was glowing with golden light and had caught the projectile with his left arm! He crushed the dart with his hand just as the one in his shoulder shaterred, and so did the one in his leg as he stood up.

"You're right Ikki... Helios wouldn't give up and as far as I know I'm Helios so I shouldn't give up so easily..." Declared Metabee, the light surrounding him glowing brighter.

"What are you babbling about? Your Medaforce is nothing in front of my Tekage no Jutsu!" Roared Scorpio as both his pincer started glowing with a dark aura.

"We'll see about that... you think a power thousands of years old will fall to something you learned in a month or so? AH!" Chuckled Metabee "MEDAAA.... FORCE!"

The SCO -type opened fire as well, his projectile glowing with dark energy. The two attack flew toward each other. The Medaforce flew right in betweem the two darts and threw them offcourse and they hit obstacles while Metabee's Medaforce hit Scorpio and ejeccted him from the arena. He landed as a scrap pile and his Medal was ejected and hit the ground.

"Scorpio function ceased!"

Metabee collapsed to his knee, tired and damaged."Dude...I rock..."

Mahiro delivered a flying kick at the startled Goldmane,sending him backward. She then opened fire with her Spiderbomb. The LEO -type quickly got up and slashed the air with his sword, slicing the spiderbombs in half, causing a cloud of smoke to erupt, from wich he emerged and almost managed to hit Mahiro with a glowing sword! She avoided the attack with a backflip, and as she regain her footing she opened fire again. The attack hit but Goldmane stood his ground.

As the smoke clear the greek Medabot pointed at the Iga Ninja with his sword "You can't win! I know how to use shadisvara and you have NOTHING, not even a rare medal! You're just a worthless piece of junk in front of me!"

The IGA just growled.

But her opponent just continued "You should have let your teamates handle me... your nothing compared to them... even if you didn't want to help us defeat them, the end result will be the same! How pathetic!"

"We'll see who's pathetic!"

Mahiro dashed toward Goldmane who just laughed and got ready to block the incoming punch she readied for but just as she was about to hit him she seam to vanish. The leo was confused but suddenly he was kicked in the back and shot forward. He couldn't do a thing as he was thrown into a bed of spiderbombs that Mahiro had layed on the ground as she had dashed toward him! He was thrown up in the air by the explosion as if he had bounced on the ground! The explosion fliped him and he was now facing the stadium's spotlight.

"IT'S OVER!" Roared Mahiro as she suddenly appeared above Goldmane like an ominous shadow and smashed him down with her elbow.

He landed, once more into a series of bomb, flying up backward only to meet with Mahiro's fist right in his face.The golden Medabot crashed on the ravaged ground. The Iga Ninja landed gracefully. She looked at Goldmane and kicked him in the side, making him roll on his face, and then his medal ejected.

"Goldmane function ceased! THE WINNER ARE TEAM JAPAN!"

The crowd errupted in applaudes and cheers while Ikki and Koji got to their Medabot, leaping above the water.

"Wow... Sumilidon was impressive... so were Metabee and I was surprised about Mahiro..." Commented Erika as she took some more pictures.

"Don't underestimate anyone I train..." Started Spiritus, getting up "And Gillgirl is X's sister, so off course she'll have a worthy Medabot... she just looks bad most of the time because she faces powerful opponent... in the end Goldmane was no trouble... I'll see you around" And with that she headed for the exit.

"You did great Metabee!" Stated Ikki supporting his Medabot.

"You okay Sumilidon?" Asked Koji.

"Just...a bit tired that's all." Stated the Medabot.

Metabee turned around, hoping to congratulate Mahiro, but to his surprise, both the ninja Medabot and her Medafighter had dissapeared "Hey! Mahiro and Gillgirl are gone!"

"What? They gave us the slip! Damn!" Complained Ikki.

"Darn! she could have tell us more about that Kinlyu Fuuma and the Rubberobos!" Added Koji.

"Guess she's still loyal to the Robos..." Sighed the other boy.

"Too bad... Mahiro would be a great ally... she's gotten better since I faced her." Metabee said.

To Be Continued...

AN: Phew... I'm cutting here just so I can update more quickly... no questions this time I have no idea what to add ;; hope you enjoyed the battle!
