Samantha's Valentine

Chapter 7- ...Into insanity.

---

This was it.

Samantha stood on the edge of the fountain tensely, scanning the area for any signs of this Valentine. They said one night ago on the phone they'd take a borrowed limousine with smoked-up windows to the park to make a grand entrance.

"What a show off." she thought trying to cover up her nervousness. She knew this wouldn't be as easy as it may seem. This opponent was fighting with a strong passion and desire to win. They were serious.

This duo didn't seem like much to a lot of people- some thought they were a joke but would have never expected them to be so tough. Samantha knew better though. She had spent time with them before this all happened and she knew both the medafighter and medabot were both hard to defeat.

On the other hand, Erika was having the time of her life- her newspaper had never been so popular before! All the students of Riverview had turned up to see this. A huge crowd accumulated at the park to watch the big match between Samantha and this mysterious, strange Valentine.

Everyone had made bets on who this Valentine would be.

"I think it's Ikki! He's always trying to secretly hang around her."

"I bet it's Koji. I saw them hugging at that huge party a year ago."

"As if! It's Rintaro. He's werid, dude. I should know, we're related."

Erika knew...well at least she thought she knew. Looking over the crowd, she could tell by some faces that certain individuals had knowledge of this secret.

She never revealed who it was in her newspaper article because she wasn't sure. On top of that, this person was too werid...if it really was them then it would be all too strange.

"Brass, are you ready with the camera? This story is gonna be huge!"

"Off course Miss."

Sypke and Sloan were both sitting on the fountain edge- Sypke praying for them to show up- both praying for boss to win.

The tension grew until suddenly a few gasps were heard from the crowd nearest to the park gates.

Erika turned round and gaped. "They're here! They're here Brass, roll the film!"

Slowly, a shiny black limousine with blacked-out windows pulled into the area.

"3, 2, 1!" Brass began.

"This is Erika Amazake reporting live from the local park."

The grand car stopped and people around it cleared a visible path from the vehicle to Samantha. Samantha turned round and jumped down from the ledge. "So…" she thought, "…you've made your grand entrance. And now I'll promise you a grand defeat when I finish you off!"

"Ready Peppercat?"

"Ready Boss." she nodded.

"Boss…" Samantha stopped and turned to see Spyke tugging on her sleeve.

"You've gotta win this." said Sloan who was speaking up in this serious time, "for The Screws."

Samantha nodded and made a fist. "For the Screws."

Things were looking grim for them. Their reputation now depended on this match. Only a victory could save them from a lifetime of humiliation.

Erika, standing in-between the black limousine and Samantha carried on commentating. "Here, we are about to witness one of Riverview's biggest ro-battles. This is going to be a heated match with high stakes!"

The camera moved to Samantha and Peppercat walking towards the centre in all seriousness.

"On one side, we have Samantha, the leader of the Screws with her medabot Peppercat."

Then the camera moved towards the car door. A member of the crowd felt obliged to open it for them.

The Valentine and a medabot stepped out.

"And on the other side," Erika continued, "we have-" she gasped in surprise.

"What?!" she thought. "No way!" Erika shook her head and looked again. No. Her eyesight was fine, it was THEM. It really was THEM.

"And on the other side," she started again, "We have...

DRUMROLL

...the legendary Medafighter...

...Karin of Rosewood School and her medabot Neutranurse!"

The crowd was stunned and were shocked into silence.

"Thank you Koji." she said as she turned to the boy who had just opened the door for her.

Koji looked so tired and depressed, too many late nights at Hopmart and excessive root beer drinking had taken it's toll. He stared sadly at her.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" he asked.

"Yes." Karin frowned in determination. "I love this girl and I'll do whatever it takes to date her."

"Ohh.." Koji sank to the ground as Karin walked past. He (as well as all the guys from Rosewood school) started to sob in despair. "Karin..." they moaned.

"So…" began Samantha walking up to her opponent, "...ready?".

"Ready as I'll ever be. I'll win this!"

"Oh? And what makes you think so?"

"Because I've never lost a ro-battle in my life."

"Well I'm gonna change that!" Samantha said heatedly.

"I'd love to see you try." Karin was defiantly confident. She grinned, almost smirking. Samantha's glare faltered slightly as she grimaced back.

None of them were willing to lose. This match promised to be intense.

Suddenly, a flower bush beside them exploded! Mr Referee jumped out in a shower of petals, dressed as a daisy.

Both of them remained deadly still.

The wind stirred their hair, blowing it gently pass their faces as Karin grinned and Samantha frowned in the silence.

"What?" Mr Referee blinked, raising an eyebrow. "That always makes people jump."

"Get on with it." Samantha demanded, impatient to begin.

"Okay. The rules are simple-"

Karin raised her hand. "We know them." She interuptted in an almost sinister manner.

Mr Referee starting sweating.

"But his time. We're rewriting part of the rules."

He gulped again. "Okay..fine with me."

Everyone had read Erika's newspaper and knew about this.

"The first Medabot to cease function loses. If Peppercat is knocked out first then Samantha will have to go out on a date with me."

"But", said Samantha, "when I knock out Neutranurse first, you're going to leave us alone!"

A hundred eyes where fixed on them, all mouths gaping.

The crowd were still getting over the shock.

The boys from Rosewood were still crying.

"What?" Mr Referee blinked again and stared at Karin. "Well, gee, I didn't know you-"

"Get on with it." Samantha snapped.

Mr Referee jumped. "Right! Medafighters ready?"

They both nodded.

"ROBATTLE!"
