Hiya this is my first fanfic, and I hope you guys enjoy it. Okay Ikki will seem a bit OOC in the beginning, but I will explain later why he acts the way he does. I hope that Chris doesn't seem like a Mary Sue and if anyone could make a couple suggestions about how to keep her from being one. Also I would appreciate it if anyone could critique my work. At first things may be a bit confusing but it will be cleared up as things go on such as why Chris says things like "Now let's go try that thing you call ice cream although I don't understand why anyone would want to eat iced cream." Belmont will come be in the story in a couple chapters so never fear.

Disclaimer: I don't own Medabots or Advil but I can hope! Anyways on with the story!
"I am a butterfly a beautiful butterfly!" Chris shouted flapping the cardboard wings she had found while unloading some boxes with Henry's help.
"Chris come back here with those!" a flustered Henry ran after the brunette with red streaks as she laughed merrily her green eyes twinkling.
"I can't believe that's my meda fighter," Tsuno a wolf medabot muttered as Erika and Brass burst out laughing. Erika wiping tears out of her alluring blue eyes reached inside her blue jeans to take out a camera and managed to snap a couple of pictures before succumbing to laughter. Meanwhile Henry had somehow managed to catch Chris, but made the mistake of trying to take away Chris's "wings". He was now currently lying on the ground courtesy of Chris as she clutched the "wings" possessively to her red T-shirt and baggy black cargo pants. But all of them knew the fun wouldn't last, and that they would be here soon.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the two freaks," Ikki scornfully spat at the two girls. Chris saw Erika in the corner of her eye tense in anger her two fists curled at the sides of her ocean blue shirt and knowing that this was going to end badly tried to intervene but was quickly cut off by two sets of glares thrown her way.
"I'll just go to my little corner now," Chris said nervously as she backed away from the two and swore that the air crackled with the energy of their anger.
"Listen Ikki we don't want to deal with your crap today so just go hang out with those fakers you call friends," Erika angrily spat at the charcoal haired boy.
Ikki's eyes darkened with anger at her words and replied, "You're just jealous that your not as good as us and that you're unloved and unwanted!" Ikki saw the hurt expression on his face but instead of stopping he only continued, "I only hung out with you because you could give me press coverage and to the others thought you were just a nuisance tagging along. So take a hint no one likes you and no one ever will. Why do you think your parents are always gone because they are disgraced that you're their child"? Crack! Erika had slapped Ikki hard while she was crying and Ikki stumbled back from the sudden impact.
"So that's what you really thought of me," Erika hissed through her tears. "You know I thought you were my friend. I thought I could trust you, but I see I was wrong. I hope you are happy with yourself Ikki," Erika murmured as she turned away from everyone.
"Erika, wait!" Chris cried, but Erika didn't answer and just kept walking away a desperate Brass trying to get her to calm down. Seeing Erika in such pain snapped something in Chris, and the next thing Ikki knew a pair of cardboard wings had hit the back of Ikki's head, and an enraged Chris was being restrained by Henry.
"Chris," Henry reprimanded her but to no avail Chris was too far lost in her haze of anger. Henry managed to restrain Chris long enough for Ikki to back away from the enraged girl. "Chris think about what you are doing," Henry said sharply. "Hurting Ikki won't help Erika at all."
"Shut up!" Chris cried angrily as she struggled against Henry's hold. "You just want to protect him because he's the best god damn meda-fighter in Japan. Well I don't give a shit. I'm thought you were different but I guess I thought wrong," Chris spat as tears began to run down her cheeks. Freeing herself from a hurt and shocked Henry Chris punched Ikki in the face and kicked him in the gut. When Henry started towards her she stopped and walked off with her Medabot Tsuno to go search for Brass and Erika.
"Dude," Rintaro said as he helped put a bandage on Ikki's nose, "You went way too far that time."
"Whose side are you on?" Ikki demanded angrily. "She freaking punched me in the nose and then had the nerve to kick me in the gut afterwards."
"Dude jeez chill out. I'm not talking about Chris," Rintaro said shaking his head slightly as he rummaged through his too large black shorts to find some Advil. Rintaro had learned to always carry it around with him. Rintaro braced himself for another round of whining, but was thankfully saved by Karen.
"Oh Ikki," Karen said sadly, "I heard you had gotten hurt and came right over to help." Karen was dressed in a short nurses outfit with her signature pigtails swinging as she bustled about trying to make Ikki more comfortable.
"Hi Karen," Ikki said a blush staining his cheeks as he started talking to her and Rintaro just sighed and walked over to Henry.
"Hey Henry sup?" Rintaro asked as he wiped off some crumbs of pizza off of his red T-shirt. Henry just turned away and muttered something Rintaro couldn't hear. "Come again," Rintaro said confused.
"I'm doing great just great," Henry practically spat at Rintaro.
"Dude what crawled up your ass and died?" Rintaro muttered only to be hit on the head by a pissed off Henry. "Ouch what was that for?" Rintaro yelled rubbing his head.
"For erasing all of the progress I've made," Henry growled at Rintaro a scowl on his face.
"What do you mean?" Rintaro asked rubbing the back of his head in pain clearly confused.
"I was so close to getting Chris to trust me," whispered more to himself than Rintaro. "But now," Henry sighed in defeat.
"Listen first of all I wasn't even involved in the fight so why are you blaming me. Only you are responsible for you actions no one else, so don't go around blaming others for your own actions," Rintaro said sharply. Seeing Henry's surprised look he wryly said, "Dude I'm not as stupid as I appear to be."
"Tsuno do you think you can track down Brass and Erika?" Chris asked worriedly.
"Yes they should just be around this corner," Tsuno stopped and Chris let out a gasp of wonder as the two looked around. A small stream ran through the clearing and rocks sat baking in the sunlight. Cool green grass tickled Chris's legs and a feeling of peace overwhelmed her trouble person, and then Chris spotted a crying Erika and Brass trying desperately to comfort her and started towards them.
"I wish that I could be stronger," Erika muttered toward her. "I wish I knew why Belmont stopped writing back. I wish my Mom and Dad would come home more often. I wish I could beat Ikki at his own game!" Erika slammed a fist onto the rock she was sitting upon.
"Miss Erika," Brass said tentatively trying not to upset her meda-fighter, "You are a very strong person already."
"No I'm not I'm weak and worthless and," Erika broke down and started crying.
"Look what they have done to you," Chris said sadly as she hugged her best friend. "All the pain they have caused, but you must remember that you are better than they are. You are real and they are only masks of their real selves.
"I want to robattle," Erika mumbled to Chris, and Chris looked up in surprise at her friend's request.
"Why now," Chris said startled, "I mean you've never wanted to before," she said quickly.
"I want to teach Ikki a lesson," Erika said in a determined tone. "I want to show the whole world that I'm worth something, and I might be able to find out what happened with Belmont," Erika's voice took on a sad tone as she said his name.
"Hey come on," Erika said trying to keep her friend from falling back into depression, "I'll teach you how to robattle just don't look so glum. O brother I'm no good at this sort of thing."
Erika chuckled slightly at Chris, "You always know how to make me laugh," she whispered quietly.
Chris blushed slightly at the compliment and said, "C'mon let's go try this ice cream of which you speak of. Of course why anyone would want iced cream is beyond me," Chris sighed quietly to herself.
"Don't worry," Erika said slightly more cheerful than before, "you'll enjoy it."
"Right, iced cream," Chris said doubtfully and Erika jabbed her with an elbow. "Hey!" Chris shouted as Erika ran away from Chris's mock anger and Chris chased after her laughing.

"What do you mean by Silver? Who the hell are you and what do you want with us," Chris asked confused.
I see the rumors are true. You really don't remember anything. How… sad," the man said getting an evil look in his eyes causing Erika and Chris to back away in fear. Finally seeing Erika the man got a startled look on his face that quickly turned into a smirk. I see it is you," he said to Erika, "Jay will be pleased." All of the color seemed to drain out of Erika's face as she whispered in fear, "Jay."
Who is this man? Henry had a sister? And who is this mysterious Jay Erika seems frightened of? Next time on Finding Happiness.
