Disclaimer: I do not own Medabots, nor do I own any of the characters from the original manga. I own myself and all of my characters, that including both Foxfires and Mrs. Yukienata. I also own the plot and rights to this fanfic. Read the copyright below it and all!

Author's Note: The main reason I invited Koji in is because I felt bad for not having the little snob included in my last fanfic and thought he deserved to at least be in this one.

Foxfire sat up with optics wide and breath panting in and out. She clutched her chest tightly as Rokusho and Dr. Aki swung open the door.

Dr. Aki walked over to her and kneeled down while Rokusho stood by him.

"Oh thank Aki you're all okay!" Foxfire exclaimed looking extremely shaken but relieved. Rokusho nodded.

"It's okay, we're all fine."

"All right Foxfire, just hold still for a second." The doctor placed hands on the sides of her head, carefully taking off the two micro plates.

There was a small POP, letting them know that the suction cups attached to the micro plates had come off of her.

Once Dr. Aki had tucked the micro plates away, Karin ran in looking at them in worry.

"Are you okay?" She asked, crouching down and taking Foxfire into a hug.

The FOX type blinked a few times before starting to tear up and grasping the red head's shoulders. "Kyaa! I was so scared! I thought you had all died!" She cried.

"Oh you poor thing!" Karin nuzzled against her, probably the most qualified one there to help console the FOX. "It's okay, it was just a bad dream."

Foxfire felt very odd being held by Karin, it wasn't a certain way she held him. It was just the feeling of being held by a human.

Foxfire felt like Akura was holding her again, which of course only made her cry more.

"Shh shh, it's okay." Karin petted her back and held her close.

Rokusho watched the display of affection, a little stunned. He'd forgotten how small and... weak she was. Of course yes she had the ability of using her weapons, but the simple thing he'd never seen her done.

'Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Foxfire actually Robattle, besides it being that dark side of hers.'

Dr. Aki stood up and sighed.

"What is our next plan of action?" Rokusho asked without even looking at him. The doctor shook his head, running a hand through what was left of his hair.

"This is a far more complicated matter than I thought. That other Foxfire is really out to get her, but it really seems like she's actually apart of her." He paused for a few minutes, just watching his niece slowly comfort Foxfire. "We'll have to call in the expert."

Karin and Rokusho looked at him curiously. "'The expert'?" Rokusho repeated slowly.

"Yes, Foxfire's designer. Her name is Doctor Yukienata."

Foxfire suddenly looked up at him as well. "E-eh? Ms. Yukienata? Why her?"

"It's obvious isn't it?" Rokusho said. "She's the one who created your medal, she should know it inside out. Who better?"

Karin's expression brightened. "Well she'll know what to do then! Thank goodness, she'll be able to fix everything."

Dr. Aki nodded. "Well that's what I'm hoping for. I'll go and call her down through the PA. I'll be right back."

Rokusho helped Foxfire to her feet and Karin followed them into the booth. All three of them a little afraid to be in the room where they had seen such horrible things through the TV monitors.

"How are you feeling?" Rokusho asked, sitting in one of the rolling computer chairs.

"Fine, just rattled."

"I called Ikki earlier and told him what's going on, he and Metabee should be coming soon." Karin said, giving Foxfire a sympathetic smile.

"Why'd you call them?"

"Well you seem like a second Medabot to Ikki so I figured it'd be necessary for them to know what's going on."

The FOX nodded in understanding and leant against the wall. She did hang out with the two so much, their house was like her second home and Ikki like her second Medafighter.

"I just can't believe you stood for living with that monster." Rokusho said, shaking his head slightly. Foxfire shrugged.

"Well you just have to. I didn't exactly have a choice." Foxfire shrugged, sliding down the wall to sit.

"Yes, that's true. It's still hard to believe thou—"

"Haah!" Ikki yelled as he pushed through the door into the booth, however ending up in a heap with Metabee on the floor.

"Oww my achin' tin pet." Metabee groaned while trying to get up.

"Metabee!" Rokusho and Foxfire said in unison. Karin just clapped her hands together.

"Oh good you're here! That was really quick." She commented, smiling as usual. Ikki was practically drooling as he looked up at her. He instantly got to his feet with a look of pride.

"Of course! I'd go to the ends of the earth for you Karin!" Everybody else except Karin sweat dropped in embarrassment.

"How sweet. Now all we have to do is wait for Koji and we'll all be here."

"E-eh?!" Ikki fell down once more. "K-k-Koji?! Why'd you invite him?"

Karin blinked and looked at Ikki curiously. "Well I figured since we're all friends he'd like to join in too. Oh, where's Erika?" She asked, looking around Ikki.

"Enn she wasn't interested. Fact as soon as I mention you invited us she hung up on me."

Metabee got up off of the ground and rolled his optics. "Gee, I wonder why!" He said sarcastically. "Foxfire! Hey how are you feeling?"

The FOX type was growing annoyed with how everyone kept asking and asking if she was okay. Couldn't they see she was perfectly fine?!

"I'm fine, thanks." She said calmly, though her hands clenched together on her lap tightly.

"Hey everyone." Dr. Aki greeted, stepping into the room. He looked over at the Ikki and Metabee and furrowed his eyes. "Have you two been here the whole time?"

"No they just arrived. I asked them to come." Karin explained.

"Oh, well I'm glad you did. You guys get to meet a real expert in medals today." Dr. Aki grinned.

"Really?" Ikki raised his eyebrows. "Who is it?"

Dr. Aki stepped back and allowed a woman to walk in front of him and into the room. She had long red hair tied in a bun and bright blue eyes.

The woman was dressed like any other scientist in the building, what with the white lab coat and nametag with normal clothes underneath.

"Hello, my name's Dr. Yukienata." She said, bowing a little. The whole ground bowed back to her.

"Wait a minute, Yukienata? Ikki drew his head back in confusion. "Do you know an Akura Yukienata?"

"Euh yes Ikki," Dr. Aki gave the ten-year-old a stern look. "That's her daughter."

"Really?" Ikki turned to look over his shoulder.

"Foxfire you never told us Akura's mom worked at the Medabot Corporation."

Foxfire sweat dropped. "You never asked?"

Dr. Yukienata gave a small smile before walking farther into the room. "Dr. Aki gave me a brief description of what's going on. So apparently Foxy's gone a little rabid has she?"

"'Foxy'?" Rokusho furrowed his optics slightly. "Is that what you call her?"

"Yes, I needed something to separate the two without confusing them and myself so I call the pro side Foxeye and I call the con side Foxy."

"Pros and cons hunh?" Metabee said, looking as if he was summing up whether the words fit.

Dr. Yukienata sighed in regret. "I had my doubts almost halfway through the project whether you two would actually coincide very well. But I suppose my worst fears came true."

"What were those?" Karin asked. The doctor just gave a sheepish smile and shook her head.

"They'd react like siblings. Only worse. Together all the time with one person can get on the nerves. You find out each others' faults, annoying habits and the more you spend time with that the more angry you get." She sighed again. "I guess it was only a matter of time before Foxy snapped.

"Well if you thought something like that was going to happen why would you do it?" Ikki asked incredulously.

"Aah, because the double-sided medal was a break through in Medabot technology." Dr. Aki broke in. "Foxfire's medal is the first ever artificial medal made. The first one to be created by humans."

"Y-you mean, it's like a rare medal?" Rokusho asked hesitantly.

"No, no. Nothing of the sort!" Dr. Aki waved off the idea dismissively. "Rare medals were made thousands of years ago, by what we suspect was alien technology. Foxfire's medal was artificially made right here in the Medabot Corporation. From our own tools and our own staff. It's not rare, it's just one of a kind."

There was a unison of sweat drops and confusion. "Euh, you had us before but you lost me at the end." Metabee said deadpan.

Dr. Yukienata rolled her eyes. "Look the point is, I have an idea to solve this."
