IN THE FUTURISTIC 22nd CENTURY, THE OWNERSHIP OF MEDABOTS HAS BECOME MUCH MORE COMMONPLACE. WHAT WAS ONCE CONSIDERED A LUXURY IS NOW A HOUSEHOLD COMMODITY. OF COURSE – MORE MEDABOTS OWNERSHIP MEANS MORE MEDAFIGHTERS, AND MORE MEDAFIGHTERS MEANS MORE DAUNTING COMPETITION – ESPECIALLY FOR A SPECIAL MEDAFIGHTING PRODIGY – IKKI TENRYO!
~PLAYS MEDABOTS: BATTLE PARK OPENING THEME~
Night had fallen on the S.S. Crystal Cruiser and the surrounding seas as anticipation was rising as talk about the preliminary tournament as the morning drew nearer with each creeping second.
"Metabee!! Put that back!" Ikki scolded.
Metabee had gotten so bored within the cabin of the ship that he had used an ornate vase as a hacky-sack.
"That's 1-2-3-4-5.." Metabee said as he juggled the vase in the by his swift kicks.
"Metabee, I'm serious! If you break that vase we could get kicked off the ship for vandalizing property!"
Metabee gave the vase one last swift kick.
"Aaaaaaand six!"
On six, Metabee knocked the vase towards the door!
"Uh oh.." Metabee says as he sweats anime style.
"NOOOOO!!!!" Ikki screams as he rushes for the door to save the vase.
Just then, the door swings open and Rentaro stands in the doorway!
"AHH! Rentaro watch out! You're about to get a nice little boppin' on that pipsqueak skull of yours!"Metabee mockingly cautioned.
WHACK!
Rentato was hit right noggin and lay on the floor and was rendered dizzy.
Metabee and Ikki rushed over.
" Oh my gosh...Rentaro, are you okay?!"
"Nice save dude! Nothin' but noggin!" Metabee chimed in.
Rentaro shook off the dizzyness and stood up.
"HOW DARE YOU!!? GRR!! THAT WAS WAAY OUTTA LINE DUDE!" he obnoxiously yelled.
" Hey! This is all Metabee's fault! Don't try to turn this one on me! I tried to stop him!"
"What!? I was just trying to have fun!!" Metabee argued back.
Metabee and Ikki then turned their backs to each other with their arms crossed and pouting.
Rentaro glared and growled angrily at the two.
"You dudes better be glad I'm in a mighty good mood today!"
Ikki turned back around from his pouting position and faced Rentaro.
"What are you doing here anyways...I didn't know you got invited too.."
"Duh MAN!! The best duelists get invited here; Of COURSE I'd be here DUDE!"
Ikki slouched over disappointedly. "Oh..."
"Hey! Red and black haired rebel...aren'tcha gonna tell us why you're in such a good mood!?" Metabee interrogated.
"Oh yeah!" With that, Rentaro reached into his pocket and grabbed a paper note and unfolded it and handed it over to Ikki.
After snatching the note, Ikki and Metabee anxiously read every line.
"Dear Renny-Poo!!!?? HA! That's rich!" Ikki started.
Ikki and Metabee then erupted in laugher.
"Gr....JUST KEEP READING!" Rentaro frustratedly shouted.
Ikki then calmed his laughter and pretended to clear his throat.
"I would love to have your cute little face in my arms tonight. I just can't go on without your big, bejeweled eyes and your rebel spikey hair...please...come meet me this evening down in the basement of the ship at about 10:00 PM- SHARP!, I'll be waiting! Signed, your "Reason to Be""
Ikki and Metabee erupted in laughter once again.
"Oh, well let's not keep Mr. Macho waiting for his imaginary date any longer!" Metabee mocked.
"Shut up dude!! This is real! I swear! It was dropped right at my door earlier this evening!" Rentaro defended.
Ikki shook his head and put the note on his bed in his cabin.
"Look, Rentaro, even if this were a real person out there deluded enough to actually wanna go on a rendez-vous with you, you'd need a key to get to the basement that the passengers on deck aren't even given."
Rentaro rummage a hand around in one of his pockets and pulled out a shiny, silver key. "Aha!"
"My lovely admirer even included it in the note, dudes!"
"Wow...maybe he's not joking ..." Metabee said as he looked at Ikki.
"Still..even with that key, all passengers on board are forbidden to go down there. It's a storage area and it's dangerous. If you're caught down there, you could be disqualified!"
"Eeeh..I dunno dude..I'll take my chances for LOOOOVE!" Rentaro replied as his eyes turned into pumping pink hearts.
Metabee laughed as Ikki sighed.
"Well, I should be on my way, I wanna freshen up for the big date! Later dudes!"
With that, the cabin door slammed behind him.
Ikki shook his head and sighed. " You know...he's annoying, but I really worry about him sometimes too...this mystery girl could be someone really evil.."
Metabee then pondered the issue as well. " ....maybe it's Karin! She seems to be the only girl I know that's kind enough to like someone as annoying as ...as.....RENNY POO!! AAAAAAAhahahahaaaaa!"
"That's enough Metabee, this is serious. If it were Karin, why would she ask him to come out as late at 10 PM! That's not a rendez -vous, that's his bed time!"
"Hmm..true I guess....But who knows, maybe that's ture in your boy logic, but girl logic is slightly different.."
"Oh, you're just a medabot..what do you know..."
Metabee pumped steam through his head. "I KNOW PLENTY! I've been around more girls since my medal was first placed in this body than you have in your life!"
"Take that back!"
Suddenly, another knock was heard at the door. "Oh, who is it NOW!?" Ikki irritatedly exaspetated.
As Ikki opened the door, it revealed an annoyed Erika and Brass. "Will you two keep it down! Me and Brass are next door trying to rest before the big day tomorrow!"
"Hey Ikki! I know, let's ask Erika about Rentaro's secret admirer!"
Erika looked confused at Metabee. "What secret admirer..?"
"Oh Erika! Get a load of this!" Ikki said as he handed Erika the letter.
As Erika grabbed the note and started reading she couldn't help but erupt in laughter as well.
"OH MY GOSH! RENNY-POO!? HAHAHA!" Erika said aloud.
"That's exactly what we said!" Metabee added.
"Yeah..yeah, just tell us if you think it's real.." Ikki said.
"..How am I supposed to know?"
"WHAAAT!?" Ikki and Metabee said simultaneously.
"But Metabee and I were arguing over whether or not that note is genuine! I mean it had a key and everything contained in the note! So...we figured that since you're a girl and all, that you'd be able to give us a better answer!" Ikki explained.
Erika rolled her eyes and sighed. "Well..there's only one way to find out!"
"Good thing I brought the camera," Brass chimed in.
"We gotta go down there ourselves! This could be the biggest scoop of the year!"
"Erika! For crying out loud, can't you forget about getting some scoop for one second!? This is a a human being we're trying to help here.." Ikki griped.
"Um, for your information, Ikki, by covering this story, we can help people for the future from getting sucked in by potentially devastating secret admirers! And besides, we're going to actually help the kid, just trying to get a good story too!" Erika said with a wink.
"Whatever...but what do we do?" Ikki said.
" Hmmm, the note said the date's at 10:00 PM ....sharp. And it's currently about 8:30..so as we wait for the date time to come, we should get ready to take on....the basement!"
Brass, Metabee, and Ikki all stared around in awe over the word "basement".
"Well don't stare at me! We got a friend to help! He may be an annoying twerp, but this could end u[ tragic if we don't look out for him! Well, what do you guys say?!"
"I'm in!" Ikki said.
"You better believe Metabee's in!"
"Of course Ms. Erika."
"Then let's go!"
The moon rose higher in the sky as the night wore on.
Meanwhile in the dimly lit basement corridors, there was a beautifu blonde women in a knee-length, black, formal, form-ftting dress with matching black high heels and earrings that were tucked within her long, wavy hair.
"Boss...this is Regina....I'm finally in the basement area..."
"Very good ...now see to it that the rare medal is captured.." said a cold voice over a walkie talkie.
"Hehehe, roger that, boss.." Regina confirmed. She continued to walk down the corridor until she suddenly heard rustling down the hall.
Oh no! If I get caught, this whole mission is a fluke! With that, Regina saw a nearby storage room and ran into it and shut the door softly.
"Phew.."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Oh no! This must be a janitor!
The door knob started to rattle.
"Um...this room is...closed right now...contamination spill..." Regina said as she tried to fake a rugged voice.
The door knob then stopped ratting as the janitor must have heard Regina.
"Man..this is one high-stress situation.." she said to herself.
As she calmed down and her heart stopped racing, she walked a bit in the rectangular room. Cardboard boxes were stacked clutteredly along the periphery of the room.
"Hm...it's kinda small...but it'll do the job..." she said with an evil smirk. With that she placed a sign she had made out of the loose-leaf paper that said "Come here Renny-Poo" on the outside of the door.
"Your medal is mine!"
~ COMMERCIAL BREAK~
Rentaro was skipping happily down the staircase of the ship. It was a bit shabby seeing as how it was the emergency escape stairway – but it was the quickest way to the basement.
"I still don't know why I have to come too.." Kantaroth, Rentaro's medabot, said.
"Well you never know dude! She might have a nice female medabot for you too!" Rentaro enthusiastically said.
Kantaroth shrugged as they walked onward.
As they approached the doorway entrance to the basement, they both paused as Rentaro tried to shuffled through his pocket for his key.
"Yeah! Found it!" With that, Rentaro stuck the key into the key hole of the door and walked into the basement...and left the door open!
Rentaro and Kantaroth both strolled down the dimly lit hallway being watchful of any personnel.
"Wow...I wonder which door she wanted me to go in..."
"Maybe that one!" Kantaroth pointed to, as it had the sign " Come here Renny-Poo" attached to it.
"Yeah dude! Oh my gosh...this is my first date..." he said as she sprayed from "fresh breath spray" into his mouth and knocked at the door.
The door slowly opened to reveal the beautiful Regina!
"Ohhh...Renny Poo...so glad you could make it...."
~Night wore on as Ikki and Friend progressed down the cabin hall. The moon lit the ocean waters in a way that invited one to just walkalong the "roadway" of light as though a road.
" Ikki! Where do we go..? We can't take the elevator...that doesn't go to the basement." Erika said.
"Well, there's always the emergency stair case..." Metabee said as he pointed to the door to the staircase that Rentaro left open.
"Let's go!" Ikki said.
As the gang walked farther down the shabby stairway in Rentaro's tracks, they noticed a footprint!
"Hey! Those look like the foot prints that Rentaro's boots leave behind..." Ikki said.
With that a sudden flash occurred. "Thanks Ikki, that'll be our exhibit A!"
"Oh for chrying out loud Erika! It's too late to be taking pictures!"
Erika ignored Ikki and said " We gotta hurry guys! If his boot prints are here, then he could already be well on his way to his date! Let's go faster!"
The gang rushed down the dank, musty, staircase as qucikly as possible and went so fast that they stumbled over each other and fell as the base of the staircase!
"Ikki! Watch where you're going!"
"Are you kidding me..? It's all your fault! You wanted us to rush!"
"Ahem..." said a snobby , arrogant voice standing above the stumbled bunch.
"KOJI!? What are you doing here..?" Ikki asked as he stood up and brushed himself off.
"Yeah! Shouldn't you be at the top floor where all the luxurious cabins are..? Not the complete opposite..?" Metabee asked.
"For your information.. I come here to meditate. All the glitz and the glam of the ornate designs and detail can easily cloud the mind..."
"I'll trade with ya!" Erika said hopefully.
"I'm afraid that won't be neccesary..you see, I only come here to meditate because there are certain medafighters that I must defeat! And you..Ikki...are one of them! And so , I guess it was fate that brought you here; now meditating is pointless...let's robattle!"
"No Koji...we came here to help a friend..not your ego..." Ikki coldly said.
"How dare you decline my challenge!? And what friend is this...?" Koji demandingly said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" a scream was heard in the distance.
"That friend!" Ikki said as he , Erika, Brass, and Metabee followed quickly down the hall.
Hmm..this could be serious..oh what the heck..
"Transport Sumilidon!" Koji said.
Right before his eyes a blue orb appeared to reveal his Sabre-Tooth medabot.
"Let's go..they might need help..." And with that, Koji followed down the hall as well.
The gang continued to dash down the halway. The hallway was designed so that it curved the farther you progressed downward.
"HEY! What are you kids doing down here!?" said an angry janitor.
"Woah! Gotta run!" said Erika.
The gang ran even faster away from the Janitor until they came to the door with the sign!
Metabee kicked the door open to reveal the storage room with Rentaro all tied up and Kantaroth no operating due to his medal being taken out.
"IKKI! ERIKA!KOJI! METABEE! HEEELP!!"
Regina stepped forward. "Funny...I didn't invite you guys..." she snydely said.
"We don't need an invitation to help save our friend.." Erika said angrily.
"Let him go..now.." Koji said with a bite.
Regina laughed. "Hahaha...sorry darlings, but I'm not here to fight super easy battles with children...I'm here for a rare medal! And I'm angry because this little dweeb didn't have one! If my sources were correct, he was supposed to have the rare Kabuto medal...they said his Metabee would have it!"
"....that's not Metabee..." Medabee said as he pointed to Kantaroth "..I am..." he said as his eyes began to glow out of anger.
"And if you want the rare medal, you're going to have to go through us!" Ikki said.
"Ah! So it ended up being a good thing that you came! Prepare to lose! As an honorary member of the Rubber Robo Gang GX, prepare to lose!"
"Rubber Robo Gang GX?! You mean they upgraded their gang...they must have gotten rid of the goofy costumes too.." Erika said.
"Transport Black Ram!" Regina said.
The stat screen flips showing Black Ram's special attack and vital statistics*
"Koji..should we..?" Sumilidon suggested.
"No.." Koji solemnly said. "This is his battle..."
"Metabee, step forward!" Ikki commanded.
"You got it Ikki...it's time for a Metabee bopping!" Metabee said.
"THEN IT'S AGREED!" said a voice coming from seemingly nowhere.
"Ref..?!" everyone said.
The ref was dressed as a janitor.
"Because no one should technically be down here...I shouldn't be here and should take action against you kids..but since it was for good...I won't...Medabots....READY!!? ROOOOOBATTLE!"
"GO! GO! GO!" Renataro said as he squirmed in his rope being hung from the ceiling.
"Metabee! Blast him with your laser!"
"You got it!" With that, Metabee fired rapidly in succession right at Black Ram.
"Black Ram! Rush , leap and claw him!"
Black ram did just that...he was moving at such a high speed and his armor was so strong, that the laser beams just deflected right off of his armor. He then took a high leap and came crashing down with his claw!
"AHHH!" Metabee wailed.
30% Damage to left and right arm.
Metabee went flying across the room.
Man..this Black Ram is quick. Have the Rubber Robos improved hteir medafighting abilities too?
"Come on Ikki! Don't let her beat you like that!" Erika cheered.
"You can do it..." Koji said.
"Metabee! Quick! Seeker missiles!"
"Missle LAUNCH!" Metabee shouted as he sent two black projectile missles soaring in a helixal pattern right toward Black Ram!
But they were no match for him, as Black Ram just caught the missles in mid-air with his claws!
"WOAH!" everyone but Regina said.
"Now hurl them right back at him and make him sorry!" Commanded Regina.
Black Ram then sent the two missiles flying right back at Metabee with just as much force as they came!
"Metabee look out!"
Metabee just barely leaped out of the way in time as the missiles hit the ground in an erupting explosion!
Think...think....come on ...I can't lose my medal before the competition even starts!
Ikki then looked back at Koji and Erika and then over at Rentaro.
"You know Regina..you may have your selfish and evil motivations...but I have something stronger..and that's the will of my friends by my side!"
"Aww, that's touching...but I'm afraid that was only wasted breath..I'm going to finish what I started! Blackram! Move in with your claw extended to pulverize!"
I got it!
"Metabee! Quick! Shoot the lamp hanging from the ceiling! It's the only source of light!"
"Oh, great thinking Ikki!"
Metabee shot the bulb with his laser gun until it cracked! Darkness then ensued.
"It's pitch black in here!" exclaimed Erika.
"AH! IM SCARED OF THE DAARK!" Koji said as he jumped into Erika's arms.
"Oh there..there..little baby, mommy has you.." Erika jokingly said as she dropped Koji.
Black Ram then stopped in his tracks. Metabee could still see with his glowing green eyes.
"Now! Blast him with your gun!"
Metabee tried doing it again right at the rendered blind Black Ram.
"Quick! Leap over the laser blasts and come crash down with your claw once again!"
Black Ram's eyes then glowed red so that he could see better. He leaped right over the laser blast and came crashing down once again.
"Now Metabee! Seeker Missles! He's right over you!"
"MISSLE LAUNCH!" Two devastatingly powerful seeking missiles blasted Black Ram several meters farther into the air!
80% damage to legs and torso...WARNING
"NOOOO!" Regina shouted.
"Yeah!! Way to go Ikki!" Erika said.
"I can't see anything! But it's sounding awesome DUDE!" Rentaro chimed in.
"Now Metabee! Try finishing him off with your laser gun..once more!"
Metabee knelt down on one knee, aimed and fired in rapid succession!
The illuminating strobes of laser light glowed in the dark as they struck the airborne Black Ram!
100% damage to torso..function ceased..
"AND THE WINNER IS...IKKI AND METABEE!!!" shouted the ref.
"Dude...I rock..." Metabee said as she blue his laser gun as Black Ram hit the floor with a thud ad his medal ejected.
"No! No, no,no,no,no,no NOOOOO!" Regina crazily screamed. "How could I have lost!?"
"Now, let our friend go!" Erika said. "A deal's a deal!"
Suddenly, the room was illuminated again.
"I changed the light bulb.." said the "janitor" ref.
"I'm outta here...! Regina busted through the circular window of the basement and got on the chopper that was waiting for her.
"Mark my words..you haven't seen the last of the Rubber Robo Gang ...GX!" And with that she flew off.
"..She got away.." said Erika.
"That's okay..she was defeated..that's all that matters." Ikki said as he untied Rentaro and placed Kantaroth's medal back in his body.
Koji calmed down now that the lights were back on. "Heh...I...was only messing around...it's late afterall.."
"Mmmmhmmmm" Erika said with an unbelieving expression.
As Rentaro got up from dropping from being hung from the ceiling, he said " Thanks dude...."
"No problem..." Ikki said as he gave a half smile.
"Now let's get back to our cabins..it's been a loooong night.." Ikki said.
As they all left out of the basement and back to the base of the emergency staircase, they talked for a bit.
"Well...I guess I'll see you guys later...if we get chosen in the preliminary tournament, we should be well-rested.." Koji said in a groggy voice. "And don't think I'lll be any easier on you Ikki.."
"Well, it was all worth the adventure as long as Renny-Poo here learned his lesson.." Erika said.
"Yeah dude...NEVER go on a date with someone too old for you...she was cute and all..but what was she like....25!!?"
They all fall anime style.
"Some people never learn, I guess.." Brass said.
WILL RENTARO EVER LEARN HIS LESSON?
I THOUGHT KOJI WAS AFRAID OF BUGS ..NOT THE DARK!
WATCH NEXT TIME ON MEDABOTS!
IN TODAY'S ROBATTLE, IKKI DEFEATS REGINA IN A SUBMISSION ROBATTLE...SINCE SHE COMPLETELY LEFT HER MEDABOT, IKKI GAINED ALL THE PARTS OF BLACK RAM.
MORE MEDABOTS MORE POWER!
