~Chapter 10~
~Discoveries and The Past~
"That voice.." Merodi whispered to herself, walking a bit closer to the motorcycle, a very damaged Rocat in her arms.
"Who are you? What do you want with us?" questioned Rokusho, baring his sword desfensively. He wasn't taking any
chances after all the pasts events.
"A friend..." The man smiled, pulling off his helmet, "And family," Prof. Sakaru finished.
"G-grandpa!" Merodi shouted out in joy, smiling.
"You know him?"
"Yes," nodded Merodi at SumiliKoji, "He's my grandfather!"
"I'm also Prof. Sakaru,"
"THE Prof. Sakaru?" gawked Sailor Erika.
Prof. Sakaru nodded, then looked back at his motorcycle. "Get on, I'll bring you back to our place..I have important things
to talk about with you medamorphs,"
"W-what did you you call us?" sputtered NeutraKarin.
"Medamorphs- they're a mix between humans and medabots. That's what you are, right?" stated Porf. Sakaru.
SumiliKoji, Sailor Erika, and NeutraKarin nodded.
"That's what I thought. Now, let's see..." he counted all the medamorphs, and his eyes widened. "There's...only three of you!"
Sailor Erika nodded grimly.
"Shouldn't there be four of you?"
"There..was," SumiliKoji said softly, "But three people took Meta-Ikki away."
Before Prof. Sakaru could react, Rokusho shouted, "Wait a minute! How do you know all of this stuff about us?"
Prof. Sakaru sighed. 'I'll explain when we get to my house,"
"IF we do," Rokusho growled.
"Please, trust my grandpa," pleaded Merodi, "He means no harm, I know him to well, he wouldn't hurt a fly if he could help it!"
Rokusho narrowed his red optics, and he and Prof. Sakaru stared at each other for a while. Finally, Rokusho sighed, and look away,
his optics softening. He looked over at Sailor Erika, NeutraKarin, and SumiliKoji, and asked, "Well, what do you think?"
Sailor Erika shrugged. "What have we got to loose?" She looked down at the ground, and something caught her optics. A few pieces of
black hair lay on the ground, in a bit of a messy way. Sailor Erika picked them up, and grasped them in her hands. "Meta-Ikki..."
Not noticing Sailor Erika, Rokusho looked back at Prof. Sakaru, and extended his hand, for Prof. Sakaru to shake, which he accepted.
The black motorcycle that rode Prof. Sakaru and the gang approched his house, and he came to a stop. They made sure nobody was around,
so that they wouldn't discover the remanding medamorphs. It was pretty much deserted, so they ran up to the house, and unlocked the door,
and came piling in. Prof. Sakaru slammed the door shut behind them, and locked the door once more.
"OK," he breathed, "I think it's time to.." suddenly, Merodi's stomach grumbled, as she went red. "..Eat some lunch."
"I can cook," proposed NeutraKarin in Karin's voice, "I used to cook all the time when I was human."
Prof. Sakaru raised an eyebrow. "You sure you can do it now?"
NeutraKarin smiled. "It would be my pleasure! I miss cooking!"
A little bit later, NeutraKarin approched the table where everyone was sitting at, with two plates in her hands. On them, were fried egg
sandwichs, with raspberries at the sides, and well as mashed potatoes. NeutraKarin grinned, and set the plates in front of Merodi and Prof.
Sakaru.
"Boy, does it look good!" exclaimed Merodi.
"I hope so! Enjoy!" NeutraKarin smiled, sitting down beside SumiliKoji. Prof. Sakaru and Merodi started to eat, while everyone else watched.
"I miss eating.."
"Don't start that again, SumiliKoji!" groaned Sailor Erika, slapping her forehead.
Merodi tried not to laugh, and ending up coughing instead.
NeutraKarin looked away, and saw on the grey couch in the next room, an almost lifeless Rocat, staring at the ceiling. NeutraKarin showed
concern on her face, and got up, and walked over to her. She sat down beside Rocat, and stared at Rocat for a while..then looked at the ceiling,
too. "..I see a plane, how about you?"
Rocat let out a light laugh, not looking away. Rocat then heard a humming sound a few minutes later. She twisted her head to her side, and saw
NeutraKarin's hands placed ontop of Rocat, her pink optics closed, which were giving off a golden light, as well as a humming sound. Rocat blinked
when NeutraKarin took her hands off of her.
"How do you feel now?" NeutraKarin asked.
Rocat blinked again, a moved her arms. "..Great!" she exclaimed happliy, "Thanks, NeutraKarin!"
NeutraKarin smiled, and giggled. "Want to join us at the table, Rocat?"
Rocat nodded, getting up, and walked back to the table with NeutraKarin.
"...Prof. Sakaru?" Rokusho asked, "How did you know all of that stuff back there?"
Prof. Sakaru stopped eating, and dropped his fork. "I know because..well, you see.." he stummpled across his words, and stopped talking for a moment
to think to himself. "I know because..well, I sort of created to idea of creating medamorphs."
SumiliKoji stood up like a bolt, an anger look on his face. "WHAT? YOUR THE REASON WHY WE'RE FREAKS?!" he roared.
"Grandpa, how could you?" sniffed Merodi.
"No, it's not like that!" Prof. Sakaru replied a bit loud, "I'll explain. A couple of months ago, I thought of the idea of creating the ultimate medabot;
a medabot who fought with two souls, the medabot's and the medafighter's soul. I started to working on a device to transmit bits of souls to another being.
Everything was going well until..until he found out,"
"Who?"
"Ashura Exodia," sighed Prof. Sakaru, cupping his hands together. "He's a pure evil man, and wants to take over the world. He was a company linked to the
medabots corp, and makes his own medabots and medals. He heard of my studies, and formed a smaller group called the M.A.H.E. That stands for 'Medabots and
Humans Experiment'. He stole my work, and I guess he found his test subjects.." he sighed again, looking at the medamorphs, "...You."
Everyone was stunned. SumiliKoji then asked, sitting down to calm himself, "But why did he want your work?"
"To control the world, what else?" scoffed Prof. Sakaru, "He thought that with the ultimate medabots, he could control the world. But, it looks like his plan
backfired," he snickered, "You guys escaped."
"Why would he need medamorphs for the ultimate medabot, though? Couldn't he just use medabots with a rare medal instead?" Sailor Erika questioned.
"Medamorphs have special powers inside of them," he explained, "It all has to do with the medafighter's personality, as well as the medabot's medal, and type."
"So..why didn't he take all of us instead?" questioned Sailor Erika.
"Probably because your friend has already unlocked his powers or something," he shrugged.
"Do you know what they are, grandpa?" asked Merodi.
"That is another thing that we will hopefully find out while we are here."
* * *
Strung tight to a wooden bed/table with wires and plastic tubes, Meta-Ikki's optics were closed tightly, in an unconscious sleep. Evil sets Eyes stared over
top of him, wicked grinned spread across their faces. Slowly, the medabot's emerald green optics opened, a groan coming out of his lips.
"Where...am I?" Meta-Ikki asked weakly. His vision focused and unfocused, until they could see clearly. He saw the faces, and his optics widened. "Its..you--!"
he gasped.
The man grinned. "Oh?"
"Your one of the people that keep on attacking me and my friends!" growled Meta-Ikki.
The man's grin turned into a nasty smirk. "Smart boy."
"Who are you REALLY, and what do you want with me?!" Meta-Ikki demanded angerly.
"That is none of your concern. But..let's just say you'll have a...whole new perspective on us," He let out a manical and evil laugh, sending chills up Meta-Ikki's
spinal cord....
Suddenly, Meta-Ikki had a strange feeling in the back of his head, his optics giving off a surprised look. 'Wait a minute..' he thought, 'This is...exactly like
in my dreams!'
Meta-Ikki blinked a few times, as the man and the other people around him started testing a nearby machine. Meta-Ikki's attention turned towards him, and narrowed
his optics. "What are you going to do to me?"
"I told you already," he said simply, "I'm going to change your whole prespective on things, young one."
Meta-Ikki grinted his teeth, and tried to flex his arms, to break free, but found it too hard to, with all of his energy drained. He gasped, taking in breaths, his
face red. "Just tell me your name at least."
He stared at Meta-Ikki for a while, then sighed. "Fine, but just because I don't want you to bug me throughout this. My name is...Verra, but you'll be calling me
'master' soon enough," he chuckled.
Meta-Ikki growled, straining his arms once more. "....Grr..GET ME OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE!!"
"Shut up!" Verra hissed. He turned his head back to his work, and Meta-Ikki looked away.
'There's got to be a way to get out of here..' Meta-Ikki thought, closing his optics.
"So this thing is going to tell us what powers Meta-Ikki has?" asked Rokusho, raising an eyebrow.
"...Yes," replied Prof. Sakaru.
"Bunch of crap," scoffed SumiliKoji, which got a glare from Merodi.
They were inside a room in the basement downstairs, which had a desk nearby the machine, with papers piled high, and a bit of a mess. The machine was a black box with
handles and a printer at the end, a lot like a computer, but was a bit dusty, and had something like a vaccuum nosil at the end. Like SumiliKoji had said, it *did*
look like a bunch of crap. But...looks can be deceiving.
"It should work, I've tested it, and it worked,"
"With what?" SumiliKoji asked, crossing his arms.
"Metabots, of course. It also work to see what type of medal they have, too."
SumiliKoji let out an exasperated groan, which received a light shove by NeutraKarin.
"Just trust me, it works," Prof. Sakaru assured. "It just..needs a sample, that's all,"
"Of what?"
"DNA of the subject." answered Prof. Sakaru, with a sigh.
Rocat made a flushing toliet noise, pointing her thumb towards the ground.
"..I think I may have something for good use." whispered Sailor Erika, one of her fists clenched.
Everyone looked at her. "Do you have it with you?" Prof. Sakaru asked.
Sailor Erika nodded, extending her hand out. She opened her hand, and inside lied a few strands of black hair. "This," she started, "Is Meta-Ikki's hair. Is this ok, Prof.?"
Prof. Sakaru nodded, with a smile. "This will do great, Sailor Erika." he took the hair from her, and put it under the vaccuum nosil. He pressed a button, and a sucking noise
was heard, and the hairs disappeared. The computer started to make beeping noises, which lasted for a few minutes. In between that time, NeutraKarin asked, "Is there any chance
that that thing can tell what powers we have, too?"
Prof. Sakaru shook his head. "The chances are pretty slim, since you've never used them before. I'm only trying this out of Meta-Ikki because it seems to me that he had before.
Otherwise, this would just be a waste of precious time."
Finally, the beeping noises stopped, and a ringing noise found it's way around the room. A piece of paper came out of the printer, covered with numbers. Prof. Sakaru picked it up,
and started examing the paper.
"You can read that mess?" asked Rokusho.
"Yea, it's just simple computer language," Prof. Sakaru muttered, then said to himself, "Let's see...00 is E..98 is M..." he trailed off, then nodded grimly, giving a bit of a sigh.
"What? What does it say?" Rocat asked.
"Well," Prof. Sakaru explained, looking up, "It looks like your friend here has some amazing powers in him. Part of it because he has a rare medal!"
"We knew THAT," scoffed Sailor Erika.
"Anyways," continued the old man, "He has two powers- One is to be able to power up his attacks by his emotions; anger being his most destructive. And two is that he can see into the
future in his dreams! No wonder Exodia wanted him!" he gasped, "He could easily control the world simply by using him alone!!"
