~Chapter 11~
~Doomsday For Meta-Ikki~
"Nobody can hear you cry," Verra smirked, "Only us, and we really couldn't care less."
Meta-Ikki growled a bit, trying to break free once more. 'Ok, don't panic,' he thought to himself, 'I'm going to close my eyes, and when I open them again,
this will all just be a bad dream, and I'll be back at home..' Meta-Ikki closed his optics for a few seconds, his mucles relaxing once more. He opened them
again soon afterwards, and Verra was staring at him, with that evil smirk still planted on his face. "Ah, Horse $#!&!" Meta-Ikki cursed.
Verra chuckled a bit at Meta-Ikki, closing his eyes. "I pity you and your foolish antics."
"I pity you and your warped mind!" Meta-Ikki shot back.
Verra growled at Meta-Ikki angerly, opening his eyes, his grey eyes going ice cold. He swiftly turned his head towards a woamn with strawberry blonde hair,
and hissed, "Is it almost ready, Valentina?"
"Valentina? Sounds like a holiday," scoffed Meta-Ikki, rolling his optics.
Anime arrow appeared on Valentina's forehead, and muttered, "The holiday will haunt me.." she shuttered afterwards, and blocked out Meta-Ikki, returning to her
work, after saying to Verra, "Almost, but I can't *wait* to get this hunk of crap going..!"
Verra sighed, shacking his head, then turned to Meta-Ikki. "Well, it seems like you have a few more minutes of freedom," he smirked, walking away, "Enjoy."
'You call THIS freedom?' said Metabee in Meta-Ikki's head.
'This bites!' Ikki grumbled. 'I want out, now!'
'So do I, Ikki, so do I."
Outside of Meta-Ikki's head, he sighed, and looked at the ceiling. It was black, much like the peoples' hearts here, he noticed. 'I have to get out of here...!'
"Wait a sec!" Sailor Erika said suddenly, how would they be able to control Meta-Ikki? He's too stubborn to listen to anyone! What makes them think they can use
him?"
Prof. Sakaru sighed. "Last night," he said, three of Exodia's goons, Verra, Valentina, and Robert broke into my house, and stole the device that would be able to
control him."
"Well, why the hell would you make one in the first place?!" Rokusho asked crossly.
"Well, when Exodia stole my therories and such, I found out later on. So, I made a control that could control andy thing machine-based, including medamorphs, so I
could stop him from using them for evil. So..Exodia is going to implant the chip that goes with that control, and make him do whatever he wanted to, even if it was
against your friend's will." Prof. Sakaru explained, thumbing his chin. "Now I wish I didn't!"
"Damn straight!" spat SumiliKoji.
"Screw." said Sailor Erika simply.
"There's got to be someway to back fire the control..!" Merodi said quietly to herself.
"Right now, I'm flat-lining on ideas, guys," groaned NeutraKarin.
"I have so many bad ideas, I could fill up a truck full of 'em, and run us all over!" Rocat shrugged.
"..Well, a bad idea is better than no idea," figured Prof. Sakaru, looking at his grand daugter's medabot, "Let's hear them."
Meanwhile, Meta-Ikki had pretty much no idea of what was in store for him...
"Catch a falling star, and put it in your pocket.." hummed Meta-Ikki softly to himself, "Never let fade away.."
"Stop that infernal singing, you bug!" hissed Verra, covering his ears.
Meta-Ikki lifted his head, and said numbly to him, "Technically, I'm a beetle, not a bug."
"Same diff."
Meta-Ikki rolled his optics at Verra. "Idiotic hippo,"
Verra growled, clenching his fists, anime arrows on his forehead. "I'm NOT fat..!"
Meta-Ikki lifted his head again, and said coolily, "Well, it looks like you've been packing a couple too many donuts in that gut
of yours, you hippo."
Verra growled louder, stomping his feet aggrivatily. "Woman, is that damned machine ready yet or what?!"
"Almost," Valentina replied monotonely.
"Good, I hate waiting," snickered Meta-Ikki.
Verra glared at him hatefully. "I'd strangle ya if I could, but I'd loose my job if I did!"
"Or are you just a wuss, Verra? Huh?" Meta-Ikki smirked tauntingly.
Verra was about to explode, when a beeping sound was heard from behind him. He turned his head, and saw a grin on the woman's face.
"Well?" he huffed.
"Ready to go!" Valentina smiled, giving the thumbs up to Verra.
Verra chuckled evilly. "Good," he said, "Now I won't have to listen to that brat's snottly remarks anymore!"
"Hey!" Meta-Ikki fummed, "At least I don't smell like I just rubbed a skunk's butt up and down my whole body! Dude, do everybody a
favor and get some deoderant on you, or something, 'cause that's just nasty!"
Valentina had to stiffle a laugh as Verra's face went crimson red with anger. Verra turned his head at Valentina, and snapped, "Get that
machine going before I strangle him!!"
Valentina's face went serious, and nodded. She looked back at the control panel in front of her, and pressed a few buttons.
Suddenly whirring sound above Meta-Ikki disrupted his laugh fest. Meta-Ikki gulped, as the whirring sound became louder, as well as Verra
and Valentina's laughs. "Bad day," he winced.
"No, we can't just shoot Meta-Ikki, Rocat!" groaned Prof. Sakaru, slapping his forehead.
Rocat put her thumb on her chin. "Worth a shot. Maybe..we can stick a whole in our dimension, climb through, and get an advanced machine from
their's, and blow up their building!"
"Meta-Ikki will get blown up, too! And that's pysically impossible!" Prof. Sakaru said, a bit annoyed.
"Well, maybe somebody can put a bomb on Exodia's forehead while sitting on the crapper or something. Then, we can pick out the controls from
his remains!" Rocat proposed.
"Ew, I think not," Prof. Sakaru replied, a discusted look on his face.
"Well, maybe--"
"If you say one more thing about blowing up something, I'm gonna set you on fire!" Sailor Erika roared, her arms crossed with anime arrows on
her forehead.
"..No, I was gonna saw hit Exodia with a mallet, and throw him in a ditch." Rocat said meekly.
"Still won't work," SumiliKoji groaned.
"Hey, I told you guys all my ideas were bad, but nooo.." Rocat huffed, crossing her arms.
Merodi rolled her eyes, then mumbled, "Why don't you just a build a device to malfunction the chip and control or something..?"
Prof. Sakaru looked at Merodi, his old eyes brightening. "Brilliant!"
"Huh?!"
"Why didn't *I* think of that?" Rocat asked, scratching her head.
NeutraKarin just shrugged.
"This should end all of our problems!" smiled Prof. Sakaru, "I'll get started right away!" He dashed off, everyone following, except for Merodi,
who was sweatdropping. "But I was just kiddin'..."
Meta-Ikki felt himself begin to sweat, as drill with a tiny needle on it loomed closer to him.
'THIS is what they powered up for that whole time?!' asked Metabee, cocking his head.
'Oviously,' replied Ikki.
'Dude, that's totally bogus! I was expected something flashy or what-not.'
Ikki let out an exasperated groan, slapping his virtual forehead. 'Your totally unbelieveable..!'
The drill went even closer to Meta-Ikki, soon right over his forehead. Meta-Ikki gulped, and shivered and the cold steel touched his own metal
forehead, which was already cold enough. Valentina pressed another button, and the needle seeped into
Meta-Ikki's forehead, making him give out a high pitched scream.
"Huh?" SumiliKoji lifted his head, looking around.
"What is it, SumiliKoji?" questioned Rokusho, as they both stopped walking towards Prof. Sakaru's lab.
"I..thought I heard something," SumiliKoji answered numbly.
"Probably just the wind,"
"In a house?"
"Maybe it's air conditioner."
"Oh, ok," SumiliKoji shrugged it off, and continued walking with Rokusho.
Meta-Ikki started to pant, trying to catch his breath in fear and pain. The needle dug in more in his skull, but stopped, just before hitting
Meta-Ikki's metalic brain. Then, it pointed downwards, to towards a long steam, which connected to Meta-Ikki's kabuto medal. It stuck inside
of it, letting Meta-Ikki scream once more. (graphic, I know, but it's better than not being descriptive at all, so grin and bare it; there's
more. And if you can't handle it, then sit in a corner and wait for this to end! :P) It swirled around , creating a small hole, big enough,
though, to fit three peas into. It slid out of Meta-Ikki, and flew back up into the air, out of sight.
Meta-Ikki suddenly felt very vunerable. Something had just drilled a hole inside of his head for god's sake! He felt like his power was draining
a little, as some oil leaked out of his wound. Meta-Ikki's optics dashed about, confused and scared. 'What do I do?' he thought to himself over
and over, like a broken record. He felt panicky, as he started to tingle all over. His vision kept on blurring and clearing, but he fought to stay
conscious; he wasn't giving up without a fight!
Then, the drill came towards him again, but this time, it wasn't whirring, and it had something connected to the needle. A black square piece of
plastic, with gold lines all over it, and a green flashing button in the middle. It was a computer chip, and Meta-Ikki knew exactly where it was
going, as soon as he reconsized it; it was going in his head! Meta-Ikki whimpered a little, as he whispered to himself shackily, "N-no!"
"Yes," smirked Verra.
The needle inserted itself again, getting a gasp from Meta-Ikki in pain. He tried to turn his head to prevent the needle from coming back in, but
his felt like he was paralized, and remained defencless. It went inside once more, and it hit the area it stopped at, and released the chip. The
button continued to flash, as the drill drilled the chip in place, making Meta-Ikki scream again, almost crying out. It came out soon after, and
drilled up the hole it produced with a small piece of peach metal, to match his skin colour. The drill pulled away again, as Verra cackled evilly.
'Funny,' Meta-Ikki thought, 'I don't feel any different, except for the pain in my head, of course..'
Verra smirked, then laughed out loud. "We've done it! He's now ours for the picking!"
"What are you talkin' about?" Meta-Ikki asked curiously, "I still think your a hippo, and I'd NEVER in a million years take orders from you!"
Verra growled a little, but let it pass by him. "You'll see," he said flatly. He turned around, and shouted to another man with black hair, inside of
a room. "Hey, Robert!" he barked.
Robert looked over at him; Verra had his attention. "What?" he asked, a bit annoyed.
"Start the control up!" Verra ordered.
Robert smiled evilly, and nodded. He reach to his side on a desk, and layed his fingertips on top of a silver device, with a speech box on it, buttons
and knob to twist and turn, as well as a reader. Meta-Ikki raised an eyebrow, wondering what was happening. Then, Robert pressed a button, and a green
light lit up.
The chip deep inside of Meta-Ikki's head stopped flashing, and remained pure green. Meta-Ikki grinted his teeth, and groaned in pain. His head fell back
down on the wood, shivers down his spine. His body felt numb, and it was painful to resist the voice from inside of his head. Meta-Ikki winced, as he cried
out in pain. He shook his head back and forth, trying to make his hands grab on top his head, put they were tied down, so he couldn't. He screamed out
again, feeling like he was going to go insane if this lasted any longer. The chip felt like it was grabbing control of his thoughts and body movement, but
Meta-Ikki wouldn't give up; not without a fight.
"You will obey us, Meta-Ikki," said Robert calmly into the speaker.
"I will...not!" Meta-Ikki grunted, shacking his head again in pain. "Screw you!" he rasped.
Robert growled, and yelled into the speaker, "You will, you punk!"
"Ne..ver, you...slimeball!"
Robert growled, and looked down at the silver device. on the reader, were settings- quarter power, half power, 3 quarters power, and 100% power. Robert turned
the knob to half power, as Meta-Ikki felt more pain throughout his entire body. He screamed out, closing his optics in pain, the voice inside of him growing
louder. "S-stop..it!" he groaned, clenching his fists into balls.
"Now will you obey?"
"I rather eat that skunk...that Verra used to make him..stink!" Meta-Ikki growled.
"Dammit!" Verra walked up to Meta-Ikki, and was about to practically punch him in the head, but instead, grabbed onto his shoulders, and slammed his head into the
table. "You WILL obey!"
"...Damn you," Meta-Ikki grinted softly, feeling the pain in his head lessen as he layed it down, his optics closed, "..You B@stard."
Verra yelled out, sticking his fingers into his black hair, and pulling. "Your impossible...!" He turned towards Robert, and snarled, Turn up the power to 100%!!"
"You crazy!?" Robert yelled back, "That could make that kid have an implosion!"
"Do it, before I make him EXPLODE personally!" Verra hollered back angerly.
Robert nodded shakily, with a frown on his tanned face. "Fine," he huffed, "But he dies on us, it's your own damn fault!"
Meta-Ikki felt his optics open at this, and gasped quietly. 'No..!'
Robert placed his fingers on the knob, and twisted it all the way to 100% power. Meta-Ikki screamed out in pain, feeling his whole body going numb. He started to twitch
a bit, feeling like he was going to explode any second, if he kept up his current position. "Help.." he whispered, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. 'Maybe
I should just give up..' he thought weakly, 'At least then, I won't feel any pain..' he closed his optics, and almost as soon as he closed them, the vision of him
evil with red eyes swirled in his head. His optics snapped open. 'No, I won't! They can't make me! I will not betray my friends, nor Sailor Erika..!' He grinted his teeth,
narrowing his optics, feeling his arms flexing quite a bit. The pain in his head didn't go away, but he didn't care; as long as he was breathing, as long as he was alive,
he would never serve the people who made him the way he was!
Then, he felt some anger grow inside of him. He let out a low growl, closing his optics, feeling his energy growing stronger. Verra seemed to notice this, because he yelled
out shakily, "Robert--! It's not working!"
"Well, what do you expect from me? It's all the way to the max!" hollered Robert.
Valentina brought her thumb to her mouth, and started to nibble on his nail. "Bring out..the memory wiper!"
Robert nodded, and pressed a few buttons on a control panel nearby. A whirring sound could be heard above Meta-Ikki, which made his anger subside, and be replaced by curiousity.
'What now..?' he thought, grinting his teeth.
'Metabee,' Ikki said weakly, 'No matter what happens--'
'You don't need to tell me twice, or even once for that matter!' Metabee chuckled weakly as well, both of their energy wearying.
Ikki nodded his virtual head.
Then, the noise stopped, and a helmet burst out of nowhere, and landed on Meta-Ikki's head. "What the--?" he sputtered, looking at Verra, wide eyed.
"Relax, kid, this won't hurt.." he smirked, "..Much. In fact, you'll probably won't remember this once we're done."
"Your sick, plain sick!"
"Why, thank you,"
Meta-Ikki grinted his teeth, and clenched his fists. Then, electricity started to course throughout his body, making his freeze up, and let out little groans that vibrated on their
way out. His optics widened, as his memories seemed to be replaced my other ones. Not being able to defend himself, at least well, he optics closed, and he went along with the 'ride'.
A few minutes later, the machine went back up into the air, and Meta-Ikki slumped down, since his head was up before. He let out a groan, his optics opening. But, now, they were no longer
the warm emerald green that made Sailor Erika go mushy, but a cold, and evil crimson red, that sent shivers down anybody's spine if they stared into them long enough.
"How are you feeling?" Valentina asked him, with a bit of a humored sound in her.
"..." he didn't reply, as he blinked a few times, the new memories in his head processing. Ones with NeutraKarin laughing at him, SumiliKoji rejecting him, Sailor Erika slapping him millions
of times, Rokusho paying no attention to him, and a memory that was true anyways, Rocat attacking him. Another memory came, which was Verra, Valentina, and Robert 'saving' him from his so
called 'friends', and taking him in with open arms. "Revengeful.." he growled venomously, "..Master."
~To Be Continued~
A/N: Poor Meta-Ikki, eh? Well, this is gonna be a bumby ride, so stay tuned for the next chapter, which I will hopefully get out sometime next sunday in the latest. I hope you enjoyed this! R/R! :)
~Doomsday For Meta-Ikki~
"Nobody can hear you cry," Verra smirked, "Only us, and we really couldn't care less."
Meta-Ikki growled a bit, trying to break free once more. 'Ok, don't panic,' he thought to himself, 'I'm going to close my eyes, and when I open them again,
this will all just be a bad dream, and I'll be back at home..' Meta-Ikki closed his optics for a few seconds, his mucles relaxing once more. He opened them
again soon afterwards, and Verra was staring at him, with that evil smirk still planted on his face. "Ah, Horse $#!&!" Meta-Ikki cursed.
Verra chuckled a bit at Meta-Ikki, closing his eyes. "I pity you and your foolish antics."
"I pity you and your warped mind!" Meta-Ikki shot back.
Verra growled at Meta-Ikki angerly, opening his eyes, his grey eyes going ice cold. He swiftly turned his head towards a woamn with strawberry blonde hair,
and hissed, "Is it almost ready, Valentina?"
"Valentina? Sounds like a holiday," scoffed Meta-Ikki, rolling his optics.
Anime arrow appeared on Valentina's forehead, and muttered, "The holiday will haunt me.." she shuttered afterwards, and blocked out Meta-Ikki, returning to her

Verra sighed, shacking his head, then turned to Meta-Ikki. "Well, it seems like you have a few more minutes of freedom," he smirked, walking away, "Enjoy."
'You call THIS freedom?' said Metabee in Meta-Ikki's head.
'This bites!' Ikki grumbled. 'I want out, now!'
'So do I, Ikki, so do I."
Outside of Meta-Ikki's head, he sighed, and looked at the ceiling. It was black, much like the peoples' hearts here, he noticed. 'I have to get out of here...!'
"Wait a sec!" Sailor Erika said suddenly, how would they be able to control Meta-Ikki? He's too stubborn to listen to anyone! What makes them think they can use

Verra chuckled evilly. "Good," he said, "Now I won't have to listen to that brat's snottly remarks anymore!"
"Hey!" Meta-Ikki fummed, "At least I don't smell like I just rubbed a skunk's butt up and down my whole body! Dude, do everybody a

"You crazy!?" Robert yelled back, "That could make that kid have an implosion!"
"Do it, before I make him EXPLODE personally!" Verra hollered back angerly.
Robert nodded shakily, with a frown on his tanned face. "Fine," he huffed, "But he dies on us, it's your own damn fault!"
Meta-Ikki felt his optics open at this, and gasped quietly. 'No..!'
Robert placed his fingers on the knob, and twisted it all the way to 100% power. Meta-Ikki screamed out in pain, feeling his whole body going numb. He started to twitch
a bit, feeling like he was going to explode any second, if he kept up his current position. "Help.." he whispered, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. 'Maybe
I should just give up..' he thought weakly, 'At least then, I won't feel any pain..' he closed his optics, and almost as soon as he closed them, the vision of him
evil with red eyes swirled in his head. His optics snapped open. 'No, I won't! They can't make me! I will not betray my friends, nor Sailor Erika..!' He grinted his teeth,
narrowing his optics, feeling his arms flexing quite a bit. The pain in his head didn't go away, but he didn't care; as long as he was breathing, as long as he was alive,
he would never serve the people who made him the way he was!
Then, he felt some anger grow inside of him. He let out a low growl, closing his optics, feeling his energy growing stronger. Verra seemed to notice this, because he yelled
out shakily, "Robert--! It's not working!"
"Well, what do you expect from me? It's all the way to the max!" hollered Robert.
Valentina brought her thumb to her mouth, and started to nibble on his nail. "Bring out..the memory wiper!"
Robert nodded, and pressed a few buttons on a control panel nearby. A whirring sound could be heard above Meta-Ikki, which made his anger subside, and be replaced by curiousity.
'What now..?' he thought, grinting his teeth.
'Metabee,' Ikki said weakly, 'No matter what happens--'
'You don't need to tell me twice, or even once for that matter!' Metabee chuckled weakly as well, both of their energy wearying.
Ikki nodded his virtual head.
Then, the noise stopped, and a helmet burst out of nowhere, and landed on Meta-Ikki's head. "What the--?" he sputtered, looking at Verra, wide eyed.
"Relax, kid, this won't hurt.." he smirked, "..Much. In fact, you'll probably won't remember this once we're done."
"Your sick, plain sick!"
"Why, thank you,"
Meta-Ikki grinted his teeth, and clenched his fists. Then, electricity started to course throughout his body, making his freeze up, and let out little groans that vibrated on their
way out. His optics widened, as his memories seemed to be replaced my other ones. Not being able to defend himself, at least well, he optics closed, and he went along with the 'ride'.
A few minutes later, the machine went back up into the air, and Meta-Ikki slumped down, since his head was up before. He let out a groan, his optics opening. But, now, they were no longer
the warm emerald green that made Sailor Erika go mushy, but a cold, and evil crimson red, that sent shivers down anybody's spine if they stared into them long enough.
"How are you feeling?" Valentina asked him, with a bit of a humored sound in her.
"..." he didn't reply, as he blinked a few times, the new memories in his head processing. Ones with NeutraKarin laughing at him, SumiliKoji rejecting him, Sailor Erika slapping him millions
of times, Rokusho paying no attention to him, and a memory that was true anyways, Rocat attacking him. Another memory came, which was Verra, Valentina, and Robert 'saving' him from his so
called 'friends', and taking him in with open arms. "Revengeful.." he growled venomously, "..Master."
