I read every single review.

I loved every one of them from Warior's "That came way the Hell outta left field" (nice term) to Blood Angel Kira's "FREAKY…" None of you have disappointed me, even those who think I'm crazy ;)

You're all great!!

Samantha's Valentine

Chapter 8- Samantha Vs. Valentine

---

"NEUTRANURSE!"

"GO PEPPERCAT!" They commanded simultaneously.

"Get ready." Karin grinned as her medabot stood gracefully watching Peppercat charging towards her.

"PEPPERCAT! Use the special move we made- NOVA CLAW!"

Peppercat screeched and her eyes and armour gleamed. She leapt high up into the air, a single claw outstretched crackling with electricity.

"Now!" Karin commanded.

Neutranurse raised both her arms together and generated a glowing white shield.

Peppercat's claw hit it sharply with a loud clash. The electricity sizzled brightly with Neutranurse's energy.

The crowd started cheering at the fantastic light show.

"Woah!" "Go Peppercat!" "Go Karin!" they cheered in awe as the light shone brighter.

But still, Peppercat was not getting through the barrier.

"Crack that shield." Samantha commanded.

"Right." The cat bot slashed heavily at the barrier, knocking Neutranurse back a few steps with the impact. She collapsed onto one knee as she kept attacking. The ground beneath began to crack where the shield was being forced down.

"She's weakening!" Samantha smirked, "Full power now."

Peppercat slammed her other claw onto the shield.

"ARGH." Cried the two bots.

The energy in the collision blew them apart with a loud boom.

The explosion could have been seen half a mile away from the park. A dust cloud was rising high up into the air.

The smoke began to clear as the crowd looked round and began to panic.

"Watch out!" Belmont shielded Erika and Brass from some of the flying debris as kids around them began to step back and run.

Karin and Samantha were the only ones who were unfazed.

As the dust started to clear a figure in the sky became visible, swiftly coming down.

It was Peppercat.

Gracefully, she tumble-turned and landed on both feet just behide Samantha, her claws still crackling with electricity.

"Please", Samantha thought, looking on in uncertainty. "Please let that surge of power be enough to finish her off." It was a pretty desperate move using so much energy like that. It was one that she only used against tough opponents she didn't quite know how to deal with.

The scene cleared and in the centre, everyone could see a large crater in the concrete. There in the middle was a crumpled up figure- Neutranurse.

It seemed all too easy though, the match couldn't end this quickly. Samantha couldn't hear any medals clinking on the floor and that could only mean…

Neutranurse was still in the game. She was kneeling on one knee with her head down.

Glowing.

"What…?" Samantha gasped.

"Hm-hm-hm-hm…" She looked at Karin who was smugly chuckling.

Erika and the whole crowd were amazed. Neutranurse was untouched, still clean and seemed even stronger.

"Thank you for that energy boost." Karin grinned.

"What?" Samantha's eyes widened with realisation. Neutranurse could absorb Peppercat's electricity based attacks with her shield. With each one, she would grow stronger. She looked down onto her medawatch. "75 energy remaining." This was not good.

"Peppercat!" she called out, "Listen. Neutranurse can drain your electrical energy. Switch to hand-to-hand combat!"

"Right Boss." Peppercat charged again.

She didn't even wait for Neutranurse to stand up and leapt at her with her fist, in a move that would be powerful enough to knock her out.

"Use one of her moves." said Karin.

Neutranurse gently rolled over and flipped back onto her feet- all done in one fluid, calm motion as if she were doing the ballet.

"What!" Samantha's eye's widened as she recognised the style of dance.

Peppercat missed and somersaulted onto the ground with a growl. She instantly leapt at her target again with her claws outstretched, ready to strangle Neutranurse.

The nurse bot knelt and caught both her claws. She flipped Peppercat over her and bolted off the ground using Peppercat as a pivot. As she touched the floor she tossed Peppercat over and hard into a concrete wall.

Her eyes started to glow red. "Peppercat." She thought, disappointed. "You can do much better then that."

The crowd admired the show, at how gracefully Neutranurse was both dancing and fighting with skill.

"21 damage…" Samantha's watch stated but she was too shocked to listen.

"Those. Those are my ballet moves!"

"Yes." Karin smiled. "I've watched you dance enough to be able to memorise them. Your moves are going to help me win my dream date." She winked.

Samantha stared back in horror.

This...this couldn't be! Karin was serious. She had trained Neutranurse well. Electrical attacks and hand-to-hand fighting techniques failed to do any damage.

What else could she do?!

End of this chapter.

It's about time this fic had some action!

That will do for a start as it's the first robattle scene I've ever written. Criticism and reviews would be helpful.
