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 includes both Foxfires, Akura and Dr. Yukienata. Horumarin owns Medabots. I own the rights to this fic.... Aren't I spiffy?
Author's Note: I seem to always be giving late notes... Okay well this is KINDA late. But ONLY because wasn't letting me upload! Honest!
Foxy tugged on Ikki to pull him outside of the Medabot Corporation, eager to go to the park. Everyone (except the two doctors) else following behind.
"Hurry it up! I wanna find someone as soon as possible." She said in excitement.
"Well at least she's not bitter about us beating her." Koji muttered over to Sumilidon. The TGR nodded in agreement. He'd noticed how much Foxy had changed from his two impressions.
In the Foxfire body, she'd been irritable and, most obviously, evil. But with her own body, she was really... average. Medabots loved to Robattle with others, and the ones that were built for battling were very eager to test out their parts when first coming online.
Was Foxy really just an ordinary Medabot, whom had just gone through an agitated and rough life?
Could any Medabot turn out like that, if they were put under those conditions?
"Foxy, gimme a break." Ikki pleaded, digging his feet against the ground to pull away from the FOX type.
The FOX sighed in annoyance before letting go of his shirt, causing him to fall back onto the pavement. Ikki let out a deep breath, rubbing the back of his head.
"Man I KNEW this was a bad idea." Metabee folded his arms, looking quite miffed.
Ikki looked up at his KBT with a stubborn glare. "Can it, I know what I'm doing."
"To be honest Ikki, I have to agree with him." Koji stood just above him, looking quite composed. "DO you know what you're doing? Because I certainly have no idea."
"Just what are you getting at?" Ikki asked, sitting and getting to his feet.
"What were you thinking taking Foxy as your Medabot? What are you trying to prove?"
"I'm not trying to prove anything." Ikki dusted himself off. "I didn't think there was anything THAT bad about it. Same deal as Foxfire. She stays with us until Akura wakes up."
"But it's not your choice to decide that! Dr. Yukienata is the one who should be taking care of the Foxfires. You're in no position to just be volunteering out of the goodness of your heart."
"Well I think I AM in a good position! Foxfire's been living with us only a few months short of Metabee!"
Foxfire and Metabee looked up at their names. Foxfire was feeling a little odd being compared to Metabee in such a way.
"And that's what makes me wonder, why do you even have Foxfire living with you?"
"Hunh?" He looked up.
"Why is Foxfire living with you in the first place?" Koji asked looking very solemn.
"I invited her!" Metabee piped up. Koji looked back at the KBT type.
"WHY though? Foxfire should be living at her home, not with some friends!"
"Just what's so wrong with that?!" Ikki glared, coming up to Koji.
"She doesn't belong to you! Don't you get it?!" Koji stood his ground.
But Karin came in between them, making sure they were at least a foot apart.
"Please, stop fighting!" She pleaded with worry. Koji sighed, not wanting to see Karin looking sad. So talked in a calmer tone.
"Ikki, Foxfire belongs to Akura, you do realize that." Koji made it more question than anything. Ikki raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Foxfire is Akura's Medabot. Akura is Foxfire's Medafighter, and once Akura does wake up, Foxfire will be staying at Akura's side and at her home."
"I still don't get what you're saying." Ikki and the group crossed the street while Koji chose his words carefully.
"Look, the longer Foxfire stays with you, the closer you'll be with her. Right?"
"Yeah...." Ikki answered slowly, trying to figure out where this was going.
"Well it's going to be that much harder when Akura wakes up and takes Foxfire back."
That hit Ikki. Hard. He hadn't even taken into consideration what it would be like when Akura woke up. Of course she'd want Foxfire back. And of course, Ikki would have to give her back.
"I understand you've bonded with her over the last 6 months.... But Akura's had Foxfire for years. And when Akura has Foxfire, how much will you be together after that?"
"Well...we could still hangout. I mean altogether." Ikki looked down at Foxfire. "You and Akura could hang out with us and stuff. Right?"
"Euhm...." Foxfire bowed her head, her voice shaky with nerves. "Actually, Akura doesn't live in Riverview."
"What?" Ikki and Metabee looked taken aback. "But she's in the Riverview hospital, and you're always around."
"Akura got moved to the Riverview hospital because of her condition. We live in this city because Ms. Yukienata needs to stay close to her work."
There was an awkward silence amongst the group. No one really knew what to say in comfort or in retort. Even Koji didn't have the heart to gloat.
Except one KBT who always seemed to brighten everyone's spirit.
"We'll find a way."
"Hunh?" Foxfire looked up, confused. "But, how?"
"I don't know how. And I don't care. We'll find a way to stay together. It's only right." Metabee declared.
Ikki grinned and did a thumbs up. "Of course." Koji rolled his eyes with a sheepish grin.
"He certainly has a way with words." Rokusho inwardly smirked. Foxfire nodded.
"Yeah, he's like that."
"Are you DONE yet?" Foxy looked over her should, arms crossed and her optics showing annoyance.
"She however, does not."
"Yeah, she's like that."
"All this touchy-feely-baby crap is making me sick." She retorted. But she brightened immediately when the park entrance came into view.
And of course, the park was known as a breeding ground for Robattles.
"Finally!" She ran over to the entrance and hopped up and down waiting for the group to catch up. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"We're coming, we're coming." Ikki and Metabee ran up to her, both suddenly feeling very ready to test out Foxy.
"Which one of you will Robattle me?" Foxy asked, looking through Sumilidon, Metabee and Rokusho. "Or I could go up against you." Foxy added, pointing at Foxfire.
"Hunh—me? Why me?" Foxfire shrunk lightly and edged over to Rokusho.
"Because it'd be nice to see the comparison between these weapons and the old ones."
Rokusho stepped over to Foxfire and shielded her. "You will do no such thing."
Foxy blinked before narrowing her gaze. "Are you gonna give me that look every time I challenge someone?" Rokusho returned the glare and said nothing. "Besides, destroying the medal is against Robattle regulations. I play fairly in Robattles."
"Hm, makes sense." Ikki shrugged, looking around for an opponent. Let's see if we can find someone around here with a Medabot..."
