I hope you guys enjoyed my Select Cor ps special. I felt I wanted to get into what
they were doing. Despite being the protectors of the peace, they are&n bsp;so often
overlooked. But maybe it's because they're useless in the games. Either& nbsp;way, it also
served to get me back in gear again to write at my f ull potential! Advice is much
appreciated.&nb sp;Disclaimer: Don't own medabots, belongs to ;Natsume, Imagineer, etc.
Plot is mine. OCs are mine except for Akiroshi, Akiana,&nbs p;and Rokshi. Those belong to
Medapokeyyugiob anpucca fan, or Akia (Ya, as I said,&nbs p;from FF so expect this kinda
stuff...) . This IS the REAL DEAL!
This&nbs p;is the real deal presents:
This&acir c;€¦is…SPIRIT!
Mr Ref eree: Last time, Ikki, Koji, Ginkai, and ;Zuru had been cornered by a group of&nb sp;
modified Robo-Emperors and were running fo r their lives. Their medabots proved to
be no match at all for the terrifyi ng power of Robo-Emperor, and even with
reinforcements, they were powerless against t heir might. Meanwhile, the Select
Corps have been waging a far more conspicuous war with the invasion force, and
despite the numerous odds and countless deafest,&nbs p;their bravery could possible be
the on ly reason that civilians are escaping in ;one piece. Sakura, a new Select Corps < br> member, was badly defeated by a group&nbs p;of five elite medabots, making an
impo rtant discovery on the top leaders of th e invasion army. But who are these
enigmatic five? And can Miss Nae's group ;of medafighters really stand up to them?&nbs p;
And what's happened to Ikki and Metabe e, who are stuck under a ton of rub ble? All
these will be answered in this chapter:
Chapter 11: Where's the& nbsp;reinforcements?
"I will never loooo oosssseeeee!"
. . .
Where&n bsp;am I? What happened to me? Everything's&n bsp;so dark, I can't see anything. I can hear
voices. I can't tel who's&nb sp;though. Erika? Karen? There's another one. ;Metabee?
Ikki tried peering through&nbs p;the fog that was clouding his mind, bu t to no avail. His head was
stil&nb sp; spinning from the impact he had take n from his fight with the Robo-Emperors. ;Slowly,
the fog started clearing as he& nbsp;ful y regained consciousness. Jumbles of ;swirling colours were
in front of him&n bsp;as he tried to make out shapes he&nb sp;could recognize. Voices kept flitting through&n bsp;
his head as he stared up at the m. It was almost like he was going to die. Ikki chuckled
weakly at the ;thought of actual y beating Koji, at be ing the first one to go.
Ah man, I real y thought that we could mak e it al the way t o the end&n bsp;together, al of us,
robattling as&n bsp;a team. Ginkai, Zuru, Banjo, Karen, Koji, Erika, Metabee… Everyone, we al did
our best. But now I've ;gotta go. I hope, mom can take care&nbs p;of Metabee for me…
"C'mon Ikki, I promised Miss Nae that yo u'd come back alive!"
Windsail? I wis h that I could've spent more time with&n bsp;you before…
"You can't ;die until I beat you in a robattle ;myself!"
Koji, looks like you're not ;getting your robattle…
"C'mon& nbsp;fight was too awesome for you to di e in!"
Ginkai, it's a good thing ;you're on our side with Arc-Dashâ€&brv bar;
"Don't lose to yourself Ikki, c hampions never lose!"
Banjo? Who would've& nbsp;thought that you'd end up on our si de? Things change don't they…&n bsp;
"Have faith in yourself Ikki, we al& nbsp; have faith in you."
Zuru? Alway s the same. That last comment sure was&n bsp;as clear as mud. Getting al Zen&nbs p;on
me…
"Ikki, please,&nb sp;just… just don't die on us! "
Erika? The oldest friend I can ;ever remember having. Is she actual y c rying? Erika never
cries. Or at least&nb sp;not since Belmont got sick. I real y& nbsp;wil … miss everyone.
"Yo, Ikki, you can wake up now" < br> What the… an intense, ex cruciating pain shot through his skul a nd along through his entire
body. His&nb sp;vision flashed with bright white light for less than a second before he flashed&nb sp;back
awake, ful y aware of his s urroundings.
"AAAAAAAAAAA THAT HUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRTTT!"&n bsp;
"Wel you weren't waking up! What&nb sp;else could I have done?!" the familiar&nbs p;semi-robotic tone of
Metabee's voice screec hed and rang out across the remains of&n bsp;the tunnel.
"You're not meant to sma sh my head in! I'm nearly dead and you should punch me? Your fist
is m ade of metal, that's like a metal club&n bsp;or brass knuckles!" Ikki was writhing aro und on the
floor holding an unreasonably large bump on his head with Metabee&nbs p;standing next to him
screaming out his reasons at him.
"Wel that's grati tude for ya," Metabee huffed. "I bring y ou back from the dead and this is < br> how you repay me?"
"You nearly SENT me to the dead, why would I th ank you?" Everyone who was nearby stared ;
at them, incredulous at the turn of&nbs p;events and absolutely speechless, their jaws&nbs p;hanging open
and eyes peeled wide open .
"Come on, spil the beans, why'd& nbsp;ya do it?" Ikki yel ed as he r ecovered.
"To wake you up! You needed&nb sp;a hand. You were just wasted there, n early dead!"
"So you tried to snuff ;me out yourself?"
"De ja vu, where ;have I heard that line before? You're j acking my best lines!"
"Please, you can' t even cal that a line if you ;said it in such a pathetic state."
"What? I guess you're one to talk! You& nbsp;try fighting Arcbeetle and thinking of s omething good
to say at the same ti me!"
Erika slowly walked towards the two people arguing.
"Hey Ikki, Metabee, are you two trying…" The two ;stopped momentarily to look at Erika. Her&nb sp;
eyes were shadowed over by her hair,& nbsp;giving her a dark, menacing quality to&n bsp;her
indiscriminating gaze. Chil s ran&nbs p;down Metabee's tin-pet and Ikki's face turn ed pale enough to
see right through ;it.
"Uh, Erika, what are you doing?"&nb sp;
"Hey, Erika, chil out," Erika raised both of her fists up.
"ARE YOU& nbsp;TWO TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTAC K!?" Both of her fists came down
at the same time on the back of I kki and Metabee's heads at the same time , smashing their
faces straight through the concrete in a random burst of power. "And here I was actually
worried&nbs p;about you and Metabee should just come ;and hit you and you wake up like < br> nothing happened? Do you even have a ;shred of empathy for any of your friend s!?"
During the whole speech, Erika k ept repeatedly hammering Ikki and Metabee dee per into the
ground in a flurry of& nbsp;uncontrol ed beatings. Everyone was stil ; too flabbergasted to do or say
an ything about it.
"He… he was alive?" Koji stuttered, barely believing it.
"Wel he won't be for long ;after Erika's through with him," Ginkai forc ed out of his mouth,
fearing an att ack on any of themselves.
"Calm down&nbs p;Erika,"
"Erika, just calm downâ€&brvb ar; and stop hitting me!" Ikki got up&nb sp;during a temporary break in Erika's
v iolence, leaving Metabee incapacitated on the ;ground.
"You jerk! It's like you&nbs p;don't even care about how worried everyone& nbsp;was over you!"
"Hey Erika, what ;do you-" a sharp clap echoed through th e ruins of the tunnel, bouncing off
the wal s, reverberating unaccompanied, relaying& nbsp;its message to the people inside. Erika' s
open hand hovered in the air, sli ghtly red. The same colour as the side&n bsp;of Ikki's face, the
same spot that&n bsp;the slap had connected. Ikki turned his&n bsp;head to face Erika, ignoring the
sti nging sensation as it crossed his face, burning under his skin. "Erika…"&nb sp;a single teardrop hit
the floor, spla shing on the ground, dropping the weight ;of Erika's feelings with it. Another
te ar soon fol owed. Ikki looked into Erika 's eyes, questioning what was wrong. Te ars were
streaming down Erika's face fre ely, with no sign of stopping.
"I w as scared, Ikki," Erika said, choking on ;her own tears. "I was scared that you&n bsp;were
actual y… going to&nb sp;die. We're al risking our lives to&n bsp;protect this city, we're risking our live s to
fight these guys, just like we always have. But now, it's different. E verything's way more
dangerous, it's not ;a robattle anymore, it's a war! People die in wars Ikki! I don't think y ou've
noticed, but this is serious! Tryi ng to show your robattle spirit here isn 't enough!"
"Erika, what are you trying& nbsp;to say?"
"I'm saying… I&n bsp;might be too confused to understand mysel f right now, but I'm saying that I
don't wanna lose you yet Ikki. You were the first real friend I ever had,&n bsp;the oldest one I have,
the one I've been with through everything together.& nbsp;You're… you're my Nakama!"
"Nakama?"
"Nakama. A friend and partner&nbs p;that you'l stick with through thick a nd thin. Someone's
Nakama is almost like they're family. I don't want anybody to die, but if you went down first, < br> you'd let everyone who was counting on&nb sp;you down, including me! I don't want anyone to die
yet, so please, if yo u truly are my Nakama, be careful. Pleas e!"
Ikki stared deeply into Erika's maro on eyes, staring into her pleading look as more tears
flowed down her cheeks.&nb sp;Something inside Ikki stirred as he realis ed how much he was
worrying everyone.&nb sp;
By getting into that fight with th e Robo-Emperor's I'd made Erika burst into&nb sp;tears. Am I trying
too hard to b e a hero? I have lots of friends; s houldn't I rely on them more? Maybe I&nb sp;should
have stopped to think my plan& nbsp;through instead of dragging everyone down&nbs p;with me. I'm such
a failure as a& nbsp;medafighter. Erika… I can't be lieve I did this to you. Getting you&nbs p;down to this
state from my actions,&nb sp;It's hard to believe.
Ikki clenched&nb sp;his fists tightly into bal s, his det ermination returning along with a little spir it.
Unclenching his fists, he gently hel d Erika's hands in his own and looked&nb sp;deeper into her
eyes, as if searching for the right words to reach her.
"Erika, I can't promise that I'l b e able to stay safe, but I can say, that I wil NOT die in a
place like this. I don't want to get&nb sp;on anyone's nerves anymore, but most of&nb sp;al , I don't want
to see yo u cry ever again. So I'l make this promise. As long as I'm stil stan ding, as long as
Metabee stil func tions, you'l never have to cry again.&n bsp;That's a promise that only goes to < br> Nakama!" The two stared at each other&nbs p;like this for a few more seconds, unde rstanding just
how important this was to the both of them. Final y, they cl asped both of their hands
together, seal ing the deal with a tiny smile before&nb sp;letting go.
"Hate to burst the love&n bsp;fest…" Metabee butted in with&n bsp;what would be a mischievous grin.
"< b>WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!" both Ik ki and Erika screamed at Metabee, almost ;
knocking him over just by screaming at& nbsp;him. Two punches later, Metabee resumed speaking.
"Hate to break it to ya, but we've got company!" Everyone turned to&nb sp;face where Metabee was
pointing. A fl eet of Femjets were charging for the gro up of medafighters along with seven
upgr aded Robo-Emperors.
"It would be wise to fal back now," Roks said as he&nb sp;began transforming into action mode for Zuru. "We need everybody else to help ;us win this battle."
"No, not yet,"&nbs p;Koji said. "If we run back to everyone else, we'l just lead these guys t o them.
Besides, we don't even know ;where they are."
"So what? We have ;to beat these guys up?" Ginkai cut in,& nbsp;cracking his knuckles while Arc-
Dash pol ished his guns.
"No, too many of th em," Ikki said bluntly. "We've got to ge t rid of the Robo-Emperors first,
then&n bsp;we can fight the rest of them."
"Explain how to do that, supposed leader,"&n bsp;Windsail said sarcastical y, despite that ;she was
admitting to herself that Ikki& nbsp;actual y was thinking of a plan. "We've gotta get to the river, lets g o!" Without question, everyone got on their&n bsp;medabots and
ran or flew as fast&nbs p;as they could towards the river, with the army chasing after them. Engines
roa red as they kicked into life, straining to escape the beasts that were pursuing them.
"Hey guys," Ikki began speaking, a lmost ignoring the enemies behind him. "What& nbsp;happened
for me to get like that?&n bsp;After getting crushed, I can't remember a thing."
"Nobody's real y sure." Zuru&nb sp;said, barely dodging a laser that passed&n bsp;c lose by
"We were al running& nbsp;for our lives when we heard Metabee ;shouting out his famous
catchphrase. Metabee says he can't remember either, but when we came back, we saw al of < br> the Robo-Emperor's shut down, and Metabee's&nb sp;medal on the floor. The other Robo-Emperor s
that were after us got scared and ran off with the medals of their p artners. You were barely
breathing."
"Less talking, more running!" Metabee screamed&n bsp;out as a missile blasted him and Ikk i up,
almost sending them off course.&nb sp;
The group were burning rubber as they neared the river from which their schoo l was named
after.
"Alright Ikki, w hat do we do now?" Koji asked, looking&n bsp;back at the air force chasing them.
"You, Ginkai, and Zuru wil fight them&nb sp;off here and keep them distracted. The&nbs p;rest of us w ill
get to the nearest radio tower. When I cal you,&nb sp;you guys have to lure them upstream t o
where I tel you. You got th at?"
"Don't sweat it, al we have&n bsp;to do is blow them apart, right?" Gi nkai said as he brought his
medawatch&nb sp;up to his face. "I got it!" The larger group ran upstream with Ikki and Metabee
trailing at the back.
"We're&nbs p;counting on you guys!" Ikki shouted back&nb sp;to them.
"Yeah, if you guys blow ;it, we're al done for!" Metabee added& nbsp;before leaving as wel . The
smal&nb sp;er decoy group stood there watching for&nb sp;a few seconds before facing the oncoming&n bsp;wave
of Mega-Emperors.
"Don't hog al the glory Ginkai," Koji said with ;a superior grin. "You thought you could ;take
my place as the best as soon& nbsp;as I left, didn't you? Don't get co cky, ordinary people can't hope
to match the power of one as superior as my self."
"You don't have any experience fi ghting kilobots, these guys wil mop the floor with you."
"You think I don' t know what they can do? Third rate ;pieces of scrap metal don't scare me!"
"Hey guys," Zuru said quietly. "People a re attacking; we need to fight, now!" Al three of the medafighters stood b ack to back with their medabots in front of them.
"Alright you two," Ginkai ;said. "Koji takes 10,000, Zuru takes 10,000, and I take the
remaining 55,000!"
"No way!" Koji said. "Leave 65,000 to&nb sp;me, you guys take 5,000 each!"
"You&n bsp;two relax," Zuru said, acting surprisingly&nbs p;smug. "Just leave them al to me."&nbs p;
"Just decide on something!" Arc-Dash yel&nb sp;ed. "Even 25,000 split, fair?"
"Agreed! " Just then, the Robo-Emperors attacked.
"Arc-Dash, action mode!"
"Tyrel beetle,& nbsp;action mode!"
"Sumilidon, tag team with& nbsp;Zuru's Roks!" Like lightning, Sumilidon and&n bsp;Roks leaped across the
heads of al&n bsp; the Robo-Emperor's and landed in a ring of them. Roks leaped into the air&n bsp;and
while there, Sumilidon grabbed his&nb sp;legs and spun him rapidly around in c ircles like a hammer,
clearing al the Robo-Emperors. At ful speed, Sumilidon&n bsp;let go and sent Roks flying through
the air, cutting through a line of Robo-Emperors along the way. Meanwhile, Tyrel ;beetle
hammered two Robo-Emperor's heads at& nbsp;the same time, smashing their heads toge ther. Arc-
Dash then jumped over Tyrel be etle's head and punched both of the Robo -Emperors hard in
the face, sending them toppling backwards over twenty feet into&nbs p;a crowd of Robo-Emperors.
While in the air, Arc-Dash front flipped, an impressive&n bsp;feat for someone so heavy, and while ;
in the air, transformed into his tank-l ike form to land on a Robo-Emperor. Tyre l beetle then
slid through a Robo-Empero r's cord like legs and while spinning ar ound on his back trying to
show off , transformed into his tank-like form.
T ogether, Ginkai and Zuru barked out more ;orders.
"Tyrel beetle, Meda-Combo!"
"Arc-Das h, Meda-Combo" Arc-Dash ramped over a knocked out Robo-Emperor, smashing into
another ;one in the process. Tyrel beetle drove around a bunch of angry rampaging Robo-
E mperors, just barely avoiding missiles along the way. He skidded sideways around a gr oup
of them and stopped just underneath& nbsp;Arc-Dash. They slammed together, Arc-Dash's w heels
clasping onto the top of Tyrel&nbs p;beetle.
"Alright, I'm invincible!" Arc-Dash ;and Tyrel beetle said as one voice, now mixed into one
personality. Taking it&n bsp;in turns to speak from Arc-Dash to T yrel beetle, they spoke.
"In this form&n bsp;we are more…"
"â€&br vbar;than just two medabots together."
"Our&n bsp;very medals…"
"… are connected and fused…"
"&ac irc;€¦together as one!"
"Weâ€&br vbar;"
"Are…"
"Masterbeetle!"
Sumilidon and Roks turned around to&nb sp;look at the Masterbeetle.
"It looks&n bsp;like we actual y might win!" Roks sa id with a newfound hope.
"Sumilidon, don 't let your guard down!" Koji interrupted.&nb sp;Sumilidon quickly turned back to
face ;his opponent, just to meet five missiles&nbs p;blasting him clean off his feet and in to Roks.
Both of them flew back, fl ying into a Robo-Emperor's mouth as it w as charging up it's
devastating Death-break&n bsp;attack. The Robo-Emperor fired its mouth blast, ripping chunks of
armour off of&n bsp;Roks and Sumilidon.
"Masterbeetle, assist ;them." Zuru commanded.
"Right, I'm on&nbs p;it!" He said, sounding slightly more li ke Tyrel beetle then revved up to ful&nb sp;
speed, charging through enemies, knocking Robo-Emperor's aside like bowling pins. Pul& nbsp;ing a
ful 180 turn, he charge d back towards Sumilidon and Roks. He ch arged straight into a Robo-
Emperor's legs,&nb sp;snapping a lot of cords in the proces s and locking themselves together.
"Oh,&nb sp;and by the way, it's THE Masterbeetle!"&nb sp;He said, sounding more like Arc-Dash t his
time. Lightning arced between Arc-Dash&nb sp;and Tyrel beetle's horns, sending enough e lectricity
through Robo-Emperor to see his&nb sp;tin-pet. Masterbeetle kept driving through, bul dozing
through Robo-Emperors like they were paper, attaching more of them to th eir devastating
horns. Two… th ree… four… five Robo -Emperor's were being run through, barely giv en a
chance to move as circuits fri ed.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword on the rest of them!" Sumilidon flipped sideways over&nb sp;in the air,
swinging his sword arm&nb sp;around wildly preparing to smash a group&n bsp;of Robo-Emperors.
"Roks, demolition mode!"&nbs p;Roks flew up into the sky, transforming&nbs p;into a hovercraft like form.
"Not so&n bsp;fast…" A barrage of missiles&nb sp;hammered themselves into Roks, blasting him&nbs p;out of the
skies. Sumilidon finished u p the last Robo-Emperor and turned to fa ce the assailant. A laser
shot straight& nbsp;through Sumilidon's shoulder, frying the cent ral wires driving through his left
arm.& nbsp;Masterbeetle drove through a storm of en emies in a blind rage, just to be s hot down by
what seemed like one hu ndred missiles.
Warning. Left arm damage&n bsp;to Sumilidon 100%. Function's ceased. Chain&nb sp;reaction.
75% damage to head. Hunting ;disruptor near critical condition.
Warning . All Roks' functions between 60% and 70 %. Caution is advised.
Masterbeetle ax is stressed to limits. Appendix at 50% d amage. Medal connection
cords damaged. Pipeli ne at 40% damage. Medalias merging fluid ;leaking.
Tyrellbeetle overall damage at 80%. Arc-Dash overall damage at 82%. Demo-fusion& nbsp;
attack offline.
"What's happening?" Koji screamed as he looked around the fi eld to find the new enemies.
"We&n bsp;are not… alone," Roks gasped&nb sp;out clutching his side.
"Come on!& nbsp;Bring it! Whoever you are, you're no&nbs p;match for The Masterbeetle! From
the C apital THE to the mega sized MASTâ&euro ;¦" Two more missiles flew at The& nbsp;Masterbeetle,
blasting both medabots apart.&n bsp;Tyrel beetle rol ed over on the floo r multiple times before
stopping dead ju st before the river, and Arc-Dash went r ocketing backwards into Roks,
knocking him&nb sp;back off of his feet. Just then, five crates fel from the sky, overflowing&n bsp;with
Mega-Emperors jam packed together li ke sardines. They al scrambled over eac hother in a
desperate attempt to escape& nbsp;the crates until the crates exploded out ward from the force,
splintering and sen ding wooden shrapnel flying.
"Roks, are you alright? Tyrel beetle, hold strong!"
"Sumilidon, speak to me!"
"Hey Arc-Dash,&nbs p;don't die on me yet!"
The Mega-Emperor s assailed everyone with more missiles, destr oying buildings and parked
cars while do ing so. Dirt was tossed high into the&nb sp;air with each explosion, with the dust&nbs p;
threatening to block out what little s unlight there was left. The smoke and du st choked
everyone, burning the back of& nbsp;their throats as they gasped for breath.
"This isn't good… We've gotta escape!" Ginkai said between coughs and strangles gasps.
"What's taking Ikki so long?" Koji said, panicking at the thou ght of never seeing daylight
again. Or&n bsp;worse, Ikki meeting Karen before him. (Hey, do I keep changing the spelling for Karen's name from Karen to Karin? ;Sorry if I do. I try my best!) Roks sliced an
incoming missile in half , desperately trying to save himself from&nbs p;anot her hit. Tyrel beetle
slowly stoo d up, reorienting himself. Arc-Dash was firin g out of al six of his hand c anons at
once, singeing everything around&nbs p;him. Zuru looked in horror as one by&n bsp;one, their medabots
were overrun by the incoming forces, almost oblivious to the& nbsp;missiles flying dangerously close
to him self.
"Zuru, look out!" Ginkai dived tow ards Zuru, knocking the breath out of hi m. Zuru felt the air
rushing out of his guts, fol owed by an overwhelming&n bsp;force pushing him firther away. He
a lmost blacked out by the force of the&nb sp;explosion, and he was certain his ears&nbs p;would never be
the same again after&nb sp;that blast.
"What happened?" He asked ;Ginkai as soon as they got up.
"Th ese guys are real y after our heads.&nbs p;They know that if we're dead, our meda bots are just
ordinary soldiers. Don't f orget, this isn't a fight we can win.&nb sp;We were just meant to hold them
off until Ikki gives the signal."
"Ok.&n bsp;Roks…" A streaking red line&nbs p;shot through the ground in front of th em, singeing the fringe
of Zuru's hair.& nbsp;"No, I can't…" Three Mega-Empe rors fired three bombs each at Zuru and& nbsp;
Ginkai, blowing up massive chunks of&nbs p;land with each shot. "…Give out orders! My watch isn't
working anymo re, it's smashed to pieces!"
A Mega -Emperor charged up a huge blue electric ;bal in front of its antennae.
"Su milidon, lets go!" Sumilidon picked himself u p off the floor and almost instantly
disappeared. Koji disappeared along with him.&nb sp;They both reappeared on Mega-Emperor's
tor so, ripping out its antennae with their bare hands. Koji immediately jumped off of&nb sp;him
while Sumilidon kept ripping at t he Mega-Emperors face like a frenzied wildcat . The electric
bal it was charging began pulsing and releasing random bursts&nb sp;of electricity. The bal slowly
turne d from red, to blue, to green, preparing to annihilate everyone, now away from t he
malfunctioning Mega-Emperor's command.
"It 's going nuclear!" Koji screamed.
"If th at thing goes off, we're meda-history!" Arc-D ash yel ed out.
"We'l be blown&nbs p;off the face of this planet," Roks sai d in complete hopelessness.
"Wel Zuru,& nbsp;You're the 'mystery medafighter,' got any&nbs p;plans?" Ginkai asked. Sweat was
dropping&nb sp;down Ginkai's neck in torrents as he desperately looked for an escape. Zuru racked
his brains for some kind of soluti on, but he just kept coming back to ;the large energy bal in
front of& nbsp;him.
"It's hopeless…"
"Wh at?" Everyone, including the medabots exclaimed,&n bsp;wishing that they hadn't heard
someone&nb sp;admitting defeat. Zuru crumpled to the flo or in despair.
"It's over. We won't ;last long like this…"
"Zur u, Ginkai! Koji, somebody answer this thing!"
Ginkai opened up what looked like&n bsp;a smal laptop to check who was ;cal ing. A picture of Ikki's
face appeared on it.
"Ikki? You don't know&nb sp;how glad we are to hear from you!"&nb sp;
"From him? What about someone reliable? "
"Windstorm huh? Wel we don't ;real y care right now, we're in trouble !"
"Relax, we've got this," an un known voice replied as the image on the& nbsp;screen shut off.
"Huh? Who is this? What's with the screen?"
"Ignore the little 'technical' issues here and listen&nb sp;up. Get upstream and leave those little&nb sp;
fishes to us!"
"And who are& nbsp;you?!"
"Ginkai, work with him," W indstorm said. "I don't like him, but ;he's actual y help. Just go
upstream&nb sp;and we'l handle it from thereâ&euro ;¦
. . .
Some time be fore…
"We're counting on y ou guys!"
"Yeah, if you blow it, we 're al done for!"
Ikki and Metabee turned around, ignoring the fighting going&n bsp;on behind them and drove after
every one else. Once catching up, Ikki began e xplaining the plan.
"Robo-Emperors are massiv e weapon type medabots, right?"
"Right." ;Everyone replied in unison.
"And their finishing move is the death-break attack, whi ch just so happens to make things
h eavier at the same time, right?"
"Right. "
"So I thought, that if we could&n bsp;get them between the radio tower and ;the river, and somehow
get them to ;use the deathbreak on the radio tower, we could then knock over the tower and&n bsp;
smash them into the river!"
"Sooooo& nbsp;use the tower like a battering ram?"&nbs p;Windsail said, sceptical of the whole plan.
"Yup, that's pretty much it." Windsail& nbsp;flew al the way down and began&nbs p;repeatedly smashing
Ikki's head, almost tos sing Erika off of her in the process.&nb sp;
"You dummy! Idiot! Baka! Aho! Chitsiru&aci rc;€¦" After mentioning idiot in sever al more different
languages she continued&nbs p;without even stopping. "I thought you came& nbsp;up with some serious
master plan!"
"The best plans are the most simple?"&nb sp;
"So we're no better than before huh?"
"Don't say that! At least we know& nbsp;how to beat them!"
"And what happen s when we meet more of them and the re's no river OR radio towers? What
do we do then?"
"We survive, and&n bsp;kick some meda-butt!" Metabee yel ed with excitement. "Who's with me?"
An explosi on went off towards the group's right. " Oh-oh…"
The ground a few paces to their right exploded outward, reveal ing what looked like a grey
mole li ke medabot with yel ow tape. Scores more of them dug out of the hole with&n bsp;it.
Digmole: MDC
Medafighter: I nvasion force
Specialty: Digging
< b>Medal type: Knight medal
Signature: Shield blockade
Totalizers and Digmoles f looded out onto the streets, and then to the river banks where the
kids and medabots were, trying to push them into the river or drag them under ground.&nb sp;Ikki
looked straight on, ignoring the ;dust flying high, attacking his eyes. Metabe e swirved around
potholes being created from exploding Digmole tunnels, barely surviving&n bsp;each time.
Windstorm scanned the air ;for anything suspicious in the skies. Her&nb sp;eyes flashed their
enigmatic purple color& nbsp;as they searched for either Femjets or&n bsp;the radio tower. Far off in the
distance, a red and white tower winked at her, beckoning them to shelter from t he storm of
medabots.
"Hey Ikki, to the north, I see one!"
"Thanks Win dsail! But… where's north?" Erika&n bsp;slapped her forehead thinking of al ;the
sarcastic answers she could give hi m. Deciding to be nice, she ignored the& nbsp;comment.
"Ikki, every medawatch advance has a compass, use it!" Everyone looked at their compasses
and headed north. The tower was just in view, beckoning them& nbsp;to go faster.
"Come on Metabee, hur ry before those moles get us!"
"I'm ;trying, I'm trying! Don't complain, you're n ot the one running!"
"You're driving Met abee, not running!" The group skidded to ;a halt at the foot of the tower. < br> The medafighters leaped off of the medabo ts and together they ran their. Brass fr owned
slightly, even with blank expression&nb sp;
"Hey, did anyone just feel a little&n bsp;earth…" The ground underneath t hem exploded in a display
of dirt a nd dynamite. A large green medabot leaped&nbs p;out of the ground, roaring and screaming&nb sp;
like some kind of beast. It looked&nb sp;a lot like Tyrel beetle, without the horns, and way more
bulky. It was&n bsp;green with massive shoulder pads and a&nb sp;brick painting on its torso. Everyone
stared at their medawatches for info, but&nb sp;nothing happened.
Insufficient data for ;info. Metabee looked up at the colossus.
"Yo, who are you?" The large green fighting medabot looked down on Metabee.&nbs p;Metabee was
only a bit more than half his size. The medabot stared down a t Metabee with a smugness in
his ey es. He Turned around and with a slight&n bsp;wave of his hand, knocked down a who le three
story building.
"Come back ;when you're stronger" He said, almost indiff erent. A group of Robo Emperors dug
out of the ground, aiming for the group , covering his slow escape.
Metabee shot two seeker missiles at the Mega-Emperors,&nb sp;just to see them get sliced in half&n bsp;
by lasers. Komandog stepped forward and&n bsp;brought up one arm. He fired his lef t arm canon,
blasting it straight into&n bsp;a Mega-Emperor's canon. The whole arm ble w to pieces scattering like
fireworks. M ore Mega-Emperors just clambered over the des troyed body of the Mega-
Emperor.
"This&n bsp;doesn't look good," Erika said worriedly. ;"It looks like we're done for!"
"Thi nk again!" Everyone turned their heads to the source of the voice.
"You read y, Aokshi? Alright, go!" A red flash sho t rhough the air, taking out two Mega- Emperors.
"AOKSHI, USE THE RED BLAZE!"&nbs p;A red medabot with white eyes and a&nb sp;gray spot on his chest
released a&nbs p;red light hitting a Mega-emperor in the&nbs p;chest. The Mega-Emperor went flying
backwar ds into a car, bursting into flames. Mor e Mega-Emperors fired random barrages of
missiles at the medabot in a mad frenzy . The medabot evaded them al like a ninja, barely
taking any hits and ;occasional y kicking a Mega-Emperor.
"Whoa,& nbsp;that medabot's got some serious moves!" Metabee said as he watched another Mega-
Emperor cease functioning.
"Now it's time& nbsp;Aokshi, use the power of the lost medal, YIN N' YANG MEDA FORCE!"&n bsp;
A super massive white and black meda force came hurtling out of the medabot's ;hands before
anyone could even see it&n bsp;charge up. The attack sped along like&nbs p;a tempest, unexpected,
annihilating a whole wave of medabots down before they could even land on the ground to
robattl e. A female medafighter appeared next the&nbs p;red medabot just as it finished releasing&n bsp;
the attack. The entire river bank wa s carved in a swirling pattern like a&nb sp;giant screw had been
run sideways alo ng the ground. The medafighter smiled slightl y as she nearly col apsed from
fati gue.
"That's the bond I have with&n bsp;Aokshi… The Yin n' Yang me daforce…" A third red and grey ninja
medabot jumped down from out ;of nowhere to catch the medafighter before&n bsp;she col apsed..
Everyone was awestruck&nb sp;at the way an entire two waves of&nbs p;Mega-Emperors were cleared in
seconds. It&n bsp;wasn't like they hadn't seen better, or&n bsp;that they couldn't have handled it, but&n bsp;the
way they were al taken out so fast, even if the medafighter fainte d, was almost unbelievable.
Medawatch data&nb sp;flashed on the red ninja medabot.
Akiroshi, a.k.a Aokshi: Medabot Corporation Medafighter: Akiana Tenryuo
Specialty:&nbs p;Red Blaze
Medal type: Lost Medal
Signature: Yang medaforce
Erika looked at Ikki.
Tenryou? As in Ikki&n bsp;Tenryou? Is this a coincidence? Or is&nbs p;this actual y…
Erika's m edawatch flashed again.
"Hey guys, my me dwatch is beeping again."
"That's weird, ;Ikki said absent mindedly as he watched ;the new arrivals walk towards them,
wit h the medafighter being supported. "My medawa tch already scanned both medabots. It < br> can't get data on the other one sinc e he left almost instantly, but I have&n bsp;Akiroshi."
"Wait, it's for the girl."&nbs p;
"Huh?"
Name: Akiana. Medaborg. Human&nbs p;with robotic cyborg medabot implants.
< b>Medafighter: Her own medafighter no watch n eeded
Specialty: Upgrade
Medal Type: Lost Medal
Signature: Yin Medafo rce.
"She's a cyborg?!" Metabee asked&nbs p;in bewilderment. "That's total y freaking m e out!"
"You know I'm right here,&n bsp;right?" She said with slight malicious in tent as she sat down next
to Ikki.& nbsp;"So, Ikki, you got a medabot?"
"Yea h, his name's Metabee. He's a real pain& nbsp;sometimes, but he's awesome anyway."
"He y!" Metabee cut in, getting worked up in to a rage.
"I also have Windsail ov er here. She doesn't have her usual part s so she's not as strong as
Metabee , but she makes up for it by being& nbsp;more sensible than him.
"Watch it!" ;
"You have a medabot too? He looks soooo cool when compared to this bucket of bolts here."
"Oh, so it's like t hat now!" Metabee flared up more. Akiana ;stared at Metabee with a slightly
inter ested look. Metabee stopped and tried looking away, slightly embarrassed. "Hey, I know&nbs p;
I rock but, it's a bit uncomfortable&n bsp;to have someone stare at me like tha t!" Akia ignored it.
"KBT model 50, ;serial number… custom made. Intere sting choice. I heard KBT types are to&n bsp;
stationary, not good in a ful on fire fight, need cover and strategys. ;Not good for you if
you're in a&nb sp;pinch."
"Believe me, Metabee was the perfect choice for me. There's nobody better& nbsp;suited to my style
of robattling!"
"So now I'm just a tool? A decorati on? I see you've started war Ikki, you&n bsp;want fire? I'l give
you fire!" ;
"Now isn't the time," Aokshi said, poin ting towards more Mega-Emperors.
"Leave these ones to me," Akia said getting up to fight, but almost stumbling over aga in.
Aokshi stopped her from fal ing ;over.
"Stay back and rest, I can't ;robattle if your share of the medaforce ;is damaged. You must
rest."
"But I can't leave Ikki to fight alone!"
"He's not alone," Metabee cut in. "He's got me wit h him too. Remember, a m edabot and
medafighter are one person, I kki can never fight alone, even if he&nb sp;tried!"
"Thanks Metabee, but I've got ;something else for you to do that doesn 't involve dying."
"What? And after that inspiring speech? And you're now on you r own? Nah man, get real."
"I need you and Windsail to cut the base&nb sp;of the tower. Melt it down, cut it&nb sp;up, smash it,
anything to make it&nbs p;unsteady enough to fal into the river ."
"So who'l fight?"
"Hell ooooo?& nbsp;Are you forgetting me?" Erika butt in.&n bsp;"I've also got a medabot, remember? I'm&n bsp;
pretty useful! And this gives me a&n bsp;chance to get some kil er shots for& nbsp;the school newspaper!"
"I won't let ;you down Erika," Brass said, polishing her&n bsp;guns.
"Drron't frorrget, I stirl promised Tak I'd rreeturrn bark safery, and that I'd be verrry brrarve.
I'rr fight too!"
"What's that doggy?" Windsail cut in with a hand to where her ear sho uld have been "I can't
hear youâ&e uro;¦ over the sound of how awesome&nb sp;we are! We can kick butt too!"
T he Mega-Emperor's drew nearer to the group.&n bsp;Windsail, Brass, and Komandog stood lined ;
up protecting the tower, with Erika beh ind them giving them al orders.
"W hen did they get so many Mega-Emperors t hough?" Brass asked a little worried. "Becaus e,
I don't think we can hold them."
The Mega-Emperor's creeped just within firing distance and brought their guns up&nbs p;to blast
them away. Lights flashed on& nbsp;for al of the Mega-Emperors as the y al charged Death-Break
attacks at&nbs p;once.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall lllllrrrrrrriiiiiii iiiiiiiii
iggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhtttttt tttttt! Leeeeeee ettttsssss gooooooooooooooo!"
Five Mega-Emperors&nb sp;suddenly blew up into smithereens, parts f lying sky high as four more
went do wn. Like a wave of destruction, the ones to the left of the deceased al &nb sp;suddenly
started blowing to pieces. A ;smal flash of yel ow streaked across&n bsp;the streets, taking a group
of explo sions with it. Missiles flashed crazily into& nbsp;the air in random directions, blowing up two
more Mega-Emperors before they coul d even retaliate. The yel ow flash stopp ed on a Mega-
Emperor's head, barely stop ping long enough to be seen. A yel ow KBT type similar to
Metabee's current body, Saikachis. It had white eyes with red outlines, and the whole thing
was very similar to Saikachis, but more slim and trimmed down. It had no shoulde r
extensions and no obvious areas for&nb sp;action mode transformations. Its right arm ;had a
medium sized pistol attached with one barrel while the left arm had something similar, but
instead with two barrels. The ends of the seeker missiles ;were closed with three red lights on them. The missiles opened up and released& nbsp;two missiles into the Mega-Emperor's face.&nb sp;While
the beast medabot was stil &nbs p;confused, a dark skinned teenaged kid with& nbsp;a red cap latched
onto its back&nbs p;and quickly removed its medal. Both people& nbsp;jumped off and ran like complete
an d total cowards as the Mega-Emperor self ;destructed.
"Another one down, ten mil ion to go! This is great, right Chrome?"
"Great? This is suicide! I love&nb sp;to robattle, but this is total y scre wed up!"
"Feels great to me!"
"Oh&n bsp;yeah? Is it stil great after this?" The medabot knocked the boy aside, away from a stray
missile just before i t splattered him.
"Ok, maybe I'm just&nb sp;saying that to comfort myself, this is&nbs p;SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Ikki stared at the pair as they ran from al the ;medabots they were previously destroying, as ;
if they had caused none of that ma yhem. His medwatch beeped out stats about&nbs p;the medabot.
Chrotojil (Chrome): Consumer&nbs p;electronics (CES)
Medafighter: DC
Specialty: Hit and run tactics
Me dal type: Kabuto medal
Signature: Gunm etal blast
The teenager came running ;towards Ikki and stopped next to him to rest.
"Yo, yo, I dunno what happen ed to your town, but you guys, are seriously, SERIOUSLY,
messed!
they were doing. Despite being the protectors of the peace, they are&n bsp;so often
overlooked. But maybe it's because they're useless in the games. Either& nbsp;way, it also
served to get me back in gear again to write at my f ull potential! Advice is much
appreciated.&nb sp;Disclaimer: Don't own medabots, belongs to ;Natsume, Imagineer, etc.
Plot is mine. OCs are mine except for Akiroshi, Akiana,&nbs p;and Rokshi. Those belong to
Medapokeyyugiob anpucca fan, or Akia (Ya, as I said,&nbs p;from FF so expect this kinda
stuff...) . This IS the REAL DEAL!
This&nbs p;is the real deal presents:
This&acir c;€¦is…SPIRIT!
Mr Ref eree: Last time, Ikki, Koji, Ginkai, and ;Zuru had been cornered by a group of&nb sp;
modified Robo-Emperors and were running fo r their lives. Their medabots proved to
be no match at all for the terrifyi ng power of Robo-Emperor, and even with
reinforcements, they were powerless against t heir might. Meanwhile, the Select
Corps have been waging a far more conspicuous war with the invasion force, and
despite the numerous odds and countless deafest,&nbs p;their bravery could possible be
the on ly reason that civilians are escaping in ;one piece. Sakura, a new Select Corps < br> member, was badly defeated by a group&nbs p;of five elite medabots, making an
impo rtant discovery on the top leaders of th e invasion army. But who are these
enigmatic five? And can Miss Nae's group ;of medafighters really stand up to them?&nbs p;
And what's happened to Ikki and Metabe e, who are stuck under a ton of rub ble? All
these will be answered in this chapter:
Chapter 11: Where's the& nbsp;reinforcements?
"I will never loooo oosssseeeee!"
. . .
Where&n bsp;am I? What happened to me? Everything's&n bsp;so dark, I can't see anything. I can hear
voices. I can't tel who's&nb sp;though. Erika? Karen? There's another one. ;Metabee?
Ikki tried peering through&nbs p;the fog that was clouding his mind, bu t to no avail. His head was
stil&nb sp; spinning from the impact he had take n from his fight with the Robo-Emperors. ;Slowly,
the fog started clearing as he& nbsp;ful y regained consciousness. Jumbles of ;swirling colours were
in front of him&n bsp;as he tried to make out shapes he&nb sp;could recognize. Voices kept flitting through&n bsp;
his head as he stared up at the m. It was almost like he was going to die. Ikki chuckled
weakly at the ;thought of actual y beating Koji, at be ing the first one to go.
Ah man, I real y thought that we could mak e it al the way t o the end&n bsp;together, al of us,
robattling as&n bsp;a team. Ginkai, Zuru, Banjo, Karen, Koji, Erika, Metabee… Everyone, we al did
our best. But now I've ;gotta go. I hope, mom can take care&nbs p;of Metabee for me…
"C'mon Ikki, I promised Miss Nae that yo u'd come back alive!"
Windsail? I wis h that I could've spent more time with&n bsp;you before…
"You can't ;die until I beat you in a robattle ;myself!"
Koji, looks like you're not ;getting your robattle…
"C'mon& nbsp;fight was too awesome for you to di e in!"
Ginkai, it's a good thing ;you're on our side with Arc-Dashâ€&brv bar;
"Don't lose to yourself Ikki, c hampions never lose!"
Banjo? Who would've& nbsp;thought that you'd end up on our si de? Things change don't they…&n bsp;
"Have faith in yourself Ikki, we al& nbsp; have faith in you."
Zuru? Alway s the same. That last comment sure was&n bsp;as clear as mud. Getting al Zen&nbs p;on
me…
"Ikki, please,&nb sp;just… just don't die on us! "
Erika? The oldest friend I can ;ever remember having. Is she actual y c rying? Erika never
cries. Or at least&nb sp;not since Belmont got sick. I real y& nbsp;wil … miss everyone.
"Yo, Ikki, you can wake up now" < br> What the… an intense, ex cruciating pain shot through his skul a nd along through his entire
body. His&nb sp;vision flashed with bright white light for less than a second before he flashed&nb sp;back
awake, ful y aware of his s urroundings.
"AAAAAAAAAAA THAT HUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRTTT!"&n bsp;
"Wel you weren't waking up! What&nb sp;else could I have done?!" the familiar&nbs p;semi-robotic tone of
Metabee's voice screec hed and rang out across the remains of&n bsp;the tunnel.
"You're not meant to sma sh my head in! I'm nearly dead and you should punch me? Your fist
is m ade of metal, that's like a metal club&n bsp;or brass knuckles!" Ikki was writhing aro und on the
floor holding an unreasonably large bump on his head with Metabee&nbs p;standing next to him
screaming out his reasons at him.
"Wel that's grati tude for ya," Metabee huffed. "I bring y ou back from the dead and this is < br> how you repay me?"
"You nearly SENT me to the dead, why would I th ank you?" Everyone who was nearby stared ;
at them, incredulous at the turn of&nbs p;events and absolutely speechless, their jaws&nbs p;hanging open
and eyes peeled wide open .
"Come on, spil the beans, why'd& nbsp;ya do it?" Ikki yel ed as he r ecovered.
"To wake you up! You needed&nb sp;a hand. You were just wasted there, n early dead!"
"So you tried to snuff ;me out yourself?"
"De ja vu, where ;have I heard that line before? You're j acking my best lines!"
"Please, you can' t even cal that a line if you ;said it in such a pathetic state."
"What? I guess you're one to talk! You& nbsp;try fighting Arcbeetle and thinking of s omething good
to say at the same ti me!"
Erika slowly walked towards the two people arguing.
"Hey Ikki, Metabee, are you two trying…" The two ;stopped momentarily to look at Erika. Her&nb sp;
eyes were shadowed over by her hair,& nbsp;giving her a dark, menacing quality to&n bsp;her
indiscriminating gaze. Chil s ran&nbs p;down Metabee's tin-pet and Ikki's face turn ed pale enough to
see right through ;it.
"Uh, Erika, what are you doing?"&nb sp;
"Hey, Erika, chil out," Erika raised both of her fists up.
"ARE YOU& nbsp;TWO TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTAC K!?" Both of her fists came down
at the same time on the back of I kki and Metabee's heads at the same time , smashing their
faces straight through the concrete in a random burst of power. "And here I was actually
worried&nbs p;about you and Metabee should just come ;and hit you and you wake up like < br> nothing happened? Do you even have a ;shred of empathy for any of your friend s!?"
During the whole speech, Erika k ept repeatedly hammering Ikki and Metabee dee per into the
ground in a flurry of& nbsp;uncontrol ed beatings. Everyone was stil ; too flabbergasted to do or say
an ything about it.
"He… he was alive?" Koji stuttered, barely believing it.
"Wel he won't be for long ;after Erika's through with him," Ginkai forc ed out of his mouth,
fearing an att ack on any of themselves.
"Calm down&nbs p;Erika,"
"Erika, just calm downâ€&brvb ar; and stop hitting me!" Ikki got up&nb sp;during a temporary break in Erika's
v iolence, leaving Metabee incapacitated on the ;ground.
"You jerk! It's like you&nbs p;don't even care about how worried everyone& nbsp;was over you!"
"Hey Erika, what ;do you-" a sharp clap echoed through th e ruins of the tunnel, bouncing off
the wal s, reverberating unaccompanied, relaying& nbsp;its message to the people inside. Erika' s
open hand hovered in the air, sli ghtly red. The same colour as the side&n bsp;of Ikki's face, the
same spot that&n bsp;the slap had connected. Ikki turned his&n bsp;head to face Erika, ignoring the
sti nging sensation as it crossed his face, burning under his skin. "Erika…"&nb sp;a single teardrop hit
the floor, spla shing on the ground, dropping the weight ;of Erika's feelings with it. Another
te ar soon fol owed. Ikki looked into Erika 's eyes, questioning what was wrong. Te ars were
streaming down Erika's face fre ely, with no sign of stopping.
"I w as scared, Ikki," Erika said, choking on ;her own tears. "I was scared that you&n bsp;were
actual y… going to&nb sp;die. We're al risking our lives to&n bsp;protect this city, we're risking our live s to
fight these guys, just like we always have. But now, it's different. E verything's way more
dangerous, it's not ;a robattle anymore, it's a war! People die in wars Ikki! I don't think y ou've
noticed, but this is serious! Tryi ng to show your robattle spirit here isn 't enough!"
"Erika, what are you trying& nbsp;to say?"
"I'm saying… I&n bsp;might be too confused to understand mysel f right now, but I'm saying that I
don't wanna lose you yet Ikki. You were the first real friend I ever had,&n bsp;the oldest one I have,
the one I've been with through everything together.& nbsp;You're… you're my Nakama!"
"Nakama?"
"Nakama. A friend and partner&nbs p;that you'l stick with through thick a nd thin. Someone's
Nakama is almost like they're family. I don't want anybody to die, but if you went down first, < br> you'd let everyone who was counting on&nb sp;you down, including me! I don't want anyone to die
yet, so please, if yo u truly are my Nakama, be careful. Pleas e!"
Ikki stared deeply into Erika's maro on eyes, staring into her pleading look as more tears
flowed down her cheeks.&nb sp;Something inside Ikki stirred as he realis ed how much he was
worrying everyone.&nb sp;
By getting into that fight with th e Robo-Emperor's I'd made Erika burst into&nb sp;tears. Am I trying
too hard to b e a hero? I have lots of friends; s houldn't I rely on them more? Maybe I&nb sp;should
have stopped to think my plan& nbsp;through instead of dragging everyone down&nbs p;with me. I'm such
a failure as a& nbsp;medafighter. Erika… I can't be lieve I did this to you. Getting you&nbs p;down to this
state from my actions,&nb sp;It's hard to believe.
Ikki clenched&nb sp;his fists tightly into bal s, his det ermination returning along with a little spir it.
Unclenching his fists, he gently hel d Erika's hands in his own and looked&nb sp;deeper into her
eyes, as if searching for the right words to reach her.
"Erika, I can't promise that I'l b e able to stay safe, but I can say, that I wil NOT die in a
place like this. I don't want to get&nb sp;on anyone's nerves anymore, but most of&nb sp;al , I don't want
to see yo u cry ever again. So I'l make this promise. As long as I'm stil stan ding, as long as
Metabee stil func tions, you'l never have to cry again.&n bsp;That's a promise that only goes to < br> Nakama!" The two stared at each other&nbs p;like this for a few more seconds, unde rstanding just
how important this was to the both of them. Final y, they cl asped both of their hands
together, seal ing the deal with a tiny smile before&nb sp;letting go.
"Hate to burst the love&n bsp;fest…" Metabee butted in with&n bsp;what would be a mischievous grin.
"< b>WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!" both Ik ki and Erika screamed at Metabee, almost ;
knocking him over just by screaming at& nbsp;him. Two punches later, Metabee resumed speaking.
"Hate to break it to ya, but we've got company!" Everyone turned to&nb sp;face where Metabee was
pointing. A fl eet of Femjets were charging for the gro up of medafighters along with seven
upgr aded Robo-Emperors.
"It would be wise to fal back now," Roks said as he&nb sp;began transforming into action mode for Zuru. "We need everybody else to help ;us win this battle."
"No, not yet,"&nbs p;Koji said. "If we run back to everyone else, we'l just lead these guys t o them.
Besides, we don't even know ;where they are."
"So what? We have ;to beat these guys up?" Ginkai cut in,& nbsp;cracking his knuckles while Arc-
Dash pol ished his guns.
"No, too many of th em," Ikki said bluntly. "We've got to ge t rid of the Robo-Emperors first,
then&n bsp;we can fight the rest of them."
"Explain how to do that, supposed leader,"&n bsp;Windsail said sarcastical y, despite that ;she was
admitting to herself that Ikki& nbsp;actual y was thinking of a plan. "We've gotta get to the river, lets g o!" Without question, everyone got on their&n bsp;medabots and
ran or flew as fast&nbs p;as they could towards the river, with the army chasing after them. Engines
roa red as they kicked into life, straining to escape the beasts that were pursuing them.
"Hey guys," Ikki began speaking, a lmost ignoring the enemies behind him. "What& nbsp;happened
for me to get like that?&n bsp;After getting crushed, I can't remember a thing."
"Nobody's real y sure." Zuru&nb sp;said, barely dodging a laser that passed&n bsp;c lose by
"We were al running& nbsp;for our lives when we heard Metabee ;shouting out his famous
catchphrase. Metabee says he can't remember either, but when we came back, we saw al of < br> the Robo-Emperor's shut down, and Metabee's&nb sp;medal on the floor. The other Robo-Emperor s
that were after us got scared and ran off with the medals of their p artners. You were barely
breathing."
"Less talking, more running!" Metabee screamed&n bsp;out as a missile blasted him and Ikk i up,
almost sending them off course.&nb sp;
The group were burning rubber as they neared the river from which their schoo l was named
after.
"Alright Ikki, w hat do we do now?" Koji asked, looking&n bsp;back at the air force chasing them.
"You, Ginkai, and Zuru wil fight them&nb sp;off here and keep them distracted. The&nbs p;rest of us w ill
get to the nearest radio tower. When I cal you,&nb sp;you guys have to lure them upstream t o
where I tel you. You got th at?"
"Don't sweat it, al we have&n bsp;to do is blow them apart, right?" Gi nkai said as he brought his
medawatch&nb sp;up to his face. "I got it!" The larger group ran upstream with Ikki and Metabee
trailing at the back.
"We're&nbs p;counting on you guys!" Ikki shouted back&nb sp;to them.
"Yeah, if you guys blow ;it, we're al done for!" Metabee added& nbsp;before leaving as wel . The
smal&nb sp;er decoy group stood there watching for&nb sp;a few seconds before facing the oncoming&n bsp;wave
of Mega-Emperors.
"Don't hog al the glory Ginkai," Koji said with ;a superior grin. "You thought you could ;take
my place as the best as soon& nbsp;as I left, didn't you? Don't get co cky, ordinary people can't hope
to match the power of one as superior as my self."
"You don't have any experience fi ghting kilobots, these guys wil mop the floor with you."
"You think I don' t know what they can do? Third rate ;pieces of scrap metal don't scare me!"
"Hey guys," Zuru said quietly. "People a re attacking; we need to fight, now!" Al three of the medafighters stood b ack to back with their medabots in front of them.
"Alright you two," Ginkai ;said. "Koji takes 10,000, Zuru takes 10,000, and I take the
remaining 55,000!"
"No way!" Koji said. "Leave 65,000 to&nb sp;me, you guys take 5,000 each!"
"You&n bsp;two relax," Zuru said, acting surprisingly&nbs p;smug. "Just leave them al to me."&nbs p;
"Just decide on something!" Arc-Dash yel&nb sp;ed. "Even 25,000 split, fair?"
"Agreed! " Just then, the Robo-Emperors attacked.
"Arc-Dash, action mode!"
"Tyrel beetle,& nbsp;action mode!"
"Sumilidon, tag team with& nbsp;Zuru's Roks!" Like lightning, Sumilidon and&n bsp;Roks leaped across the
heads of al&n bsp; the Robo-Emperor's and landed in a ring of them. Roks leaped into the air&n bsp;and
while there, Sumilidon grabbed his&nb sp;legs and spun him rapidly around in c ircles like a hammer,
clearing al the Robo-Emperors. At ful speed, Sumilidon&n bsp;let go and sent Roks flying through
the air, cutting through a line of Robo-Emperors along the way. Meanwhile, Tyrel ;beetle
hammered two Robo-Emperor's heads at& nbsp;the same time, smashing their heads toge ther. Arc-
Dash then jumped over Tyrel be etle's head and punched both of the Robo -Emperors hard in
the face, sending them toppling backwards over twenty feet into&nbs p;a crowd of Robo-Emperors.
While in the air, Arc-Dash front flipped, an impressive&n bsp;feat for someone so heavy, and while ;
in the air, transformed into his tank-l ike form to land on a Robo-Emperor. Tyre l beetle then
slid through a Robo-Empero r's cord like legs and while spinning ar ound on his back trying to
show off , transformed into his tank-like form.
T ogether, Ginkai and Zuru barked out more ;orders.
"Tyrel beetle, Meda-Combo!"
"Arc-Das h, Meda-Combo" Arc-Dash ramped over a knocked out Robo-Emperor, smashing into
another ;one in the process. Tyrel beetle drove around a bunch of angry rampaging Robo-
E mperors, just barely avoiding missiles along the way. He skidded sideways around a gr oup
of them and stopped just underneath& nbsp;Arc-Dash. They slammed together, Arc-Dash's w heels
clasping onto the top of Tyrel&nbs p;beetle.
"Alright, I'm invincible!" Arc-Dash ;and Tyrel beetle said as one voice, now mixed into one
personality. Taking it&n bsp;in turns to speak from Arc-Dash to T yrel beetle, they spoke.
"In this form&n bsp;we are more…"
"â€&br vbar;than just two medabots together."
"Our&n bsp;very medals…"
"… are connected and fused…"
"&ac irc;€¦together as one!"
"Weâ€&br vbar;"
"Are…"
"Masterbeetle!"
Sumilidon and Roks turned around to&nb sp;look at the Masterbeetle.
"It looks&n bsp;like we actual y might win!" Roks sa id with a newfound hope.
"Sumilidon, don 't let your guard down!" Koji interrupted.&nb sp;Sumilidon quickly turned back to
face ;his opponent, just to meet five missiles&nbs p;blasting him clean off his feet and in to Roks.
Both of them flew back, fl ying into a Robo-Emperor's mouth as it w as charging up it's
devastating Death-break&n bsp;attack. The Robo-Emperor fired its mouth blast, ripping chunks of
armour off of&n bsp;Roks and Sumilidon.
"Masterbeetle, assist ;them." Zuru commanded.
"Right, I'm on&nbs p;it!" He said, sounding slightly more li ke Tyrel beetle then revved up to ful&nb sp;
speed, charging through enemies, knocking Robo-Emperor's aside like bowling pins. Pul& nbsp;ing a
ful 180 turn, he charge d back towards Sumilidon and Roks. He ch arged straight into a Robo-
Emperor's legs,&nb sp;snapping a lot of cords in the proces s and locking themselves together.
"Oh,&nb sp;and by the way, it's THE Masterbeetle!"&nb sp;He said, sounding more like Arc-Dash t his
time. Lightning arced between Arc-Dash&nb sp;and Tyrel beetle's horns, sending enough e lectricity
through Robo-Emperor to see his&nb sp;tin-pet. Masterbeetle kept driving through, bul dozing
through Robo-Emperors like they were paper, attaching more of them to th eir devastating
horns. Two… th ree… four… five Robo -Emperor's were being run through, barely giv en a
chance to move as circuits fri ed.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword on the rest of them!" Sumilidon flipped sideways over&nb sp;in the air,
swinging his sword arm&nb sp;around wildly preparing to smash a group&n bsp;of Robo-Emperors.
"Roks, demolition mode!"&nbs p;Roks flew up into the sky, transforming&nbs p;into a hovercraft like form.
"Not so&n bsp;fast…" A barrage of missiles&nb sp;hammered themselves into Roks, blasting him&nbs p;out of the
skies. Sumilidon finished u p the last Robo-Emperor and turned to fa ce the assailant. A laser
shot straight& nbsp;through Sumilidon's shoulder, frying the cent ral wires driving through his left
arm.& nbsp;Masterbeetle drove through a storm of en emies in a blind rage, just to be s hot down by
what seemed like one hu ndred missiles.
Warning. Left arm damage&n bsp;to Sumilidon 100%. Function's ceased. Chain&nb sp;reaction.
75% damage to head. Hunting ;disruptor near critical condition.
Warning . All Roks' functions between 60% and 70 %. Caution is advised.
Masterbeetle ax is stressed to limits. Appendix at 50% d amage. Medal connection
cords damaged. Pipeli ne at 40% damage. Medalias merging fluid ;leaking.
Tyrellbeetle overall damage at 80%. Arc-Dash overall damage at 82%. Demo-fusion& nbsp;
attack offline.
"What's happening?" Koji screamed as he looked around the fi eld to find the new enemies.
"We&n bsp;are not… alone," Roks gasped&nb sp;out clutching his side.
"Come on!& nbsp;Bring it! Whoever you are, you're no&nbs p;match for The Masterbeetle! From
the C apital THE to the mega sized MASTâ&euro ;¦" Two more missiles flew at The& nbsp;Masterbeetle,
blasting both medabots apart.&n bsp;Tyrel beetle rol ed over on the floo r multiple times before
stopping dead ju st before the river, and Arc-Dash went r ocketing backwards into Roks,
knocking him&nb sp;back off of his feet. Just then, five crates fel from the sky, overflowing&n bsp;with
Mega-Emperors jam packed together li ke sardines. They al scrambled over eac hother in a
desperate attempt to escape& nbsp;the crates until the crates exploded out ward from the force,
splintering and sen ding wooden shrapnel flying.
"Roks, are you alright? Tyrel beetle, hold strong!"
"Sumilidon, speak to me!"
"Hey Arc-Dash,&nbs p;don't die on me yet!"
The Mega-Emperor s assailed everyone with more missiles, destr oying buildings and parked
cars while do ing so. Dirt was tossed high into the&nb sp;air with each explosion, with the dust&nbs p;
threatening to block out what little s unlight there was left. The smoke and du st choked
everyone, burning the back of& nbsp;their throats as they gasped for breath.
"This isn't good… We've gotta escape!" Ginkai said between coughs and strangles gasps.
"What's taking Ikki so long?" Koji said, panicking at the thou ght of never seeing daylight
again. Or&n bsp;worse, Ikki meeting Karen before him. (Hey, do I keep changing the spelling for Karen's name from Karen to Karin? ;Sorry if I do. I try my best!) Roks sliced an
incoming missile in half , desperately trying to save himself from&nbs p;anot her hit. Tyrel beetle
slowly stoo d up, reorienting himself. Arc-Dash was firin g out of al six of his hand c anons at
once, singeing everything around&nbs p;him. Zuru looked in horror as one by&n bsp;one, their medabots
were overrun by the incoming forces, almost oblivious to the& nbsp;missiles flying dangerously close
to him self.
"Zuru, look out!" Ginkai dived tow ards Zuru, knocking the breath out of hi m. Zuru felt the air
rushing out of his guts, fol owed by an overwhelming&n bsp;force pushing him firther away. He
a lmost blacked out by the force of the&nb sp;explosion, and he was certain his ears&nbs p;would never be
the same again after&nb sp;that blast.
"What happened?" He asked ;Ginkai as soon as they got up.
"Th ese guys are real y after our heads.&nbs p;They know that if we're dead, our meda bots are just
ordinary soldiers. Don't f orget, this isn't a fight we can win.&nb sp;We were just meant to hold them
off until Ikki gives the signal."
"Ok.&n bsp;Roks…" A streaking red line&nbs p;shot through the ground in front of th em, singeing the fringe
of Zuru's hair.& nbsp;"No, I can't…" Three Mega-Empe rors fired three bombs each at Zuru and& nbsp;
Ginkai, blowing up massive chunks of&nbs p;land with each shot. "…Give out orders! My watch isn't
working anymo re, it's smashed to pieces!"
A Mega -Emperor charged up a huge blue electric ;bal in front of its antennae.
"Su milidon, lets go!" Sumilidon picked himself u p off the floor and almost instantly
disappeared. Koji disappeared along with him.&nb sp;They both reappeared on Mega-Emperor's
tor so, ripping out its antennae with their bare hands. Koji immediately jumped off of&nb sp;him
while Sumilidon kept ripping at t he Mega-Emperors face like a frenzied wildcat . The electric
bal it was charging began pulsing and releasing random bursts&nb sp;of electricity. The bal slowly
turne d from red, to blue, to green, preparing to annihilate everyone, now away from t he
malfunctioning Mega-Emperor's command.
"It 's going nuclear!" Koji screamed.
"If th at thing goes off, we're meda-history!" Arc-D ash yel ed out.
"We'l be blown&nbs p;off the face of this planet," Roks sai d in complete hopelessness.
"Wel Zuru,& nbsp;You're the 'mystery medafighter,' got any&nbs p;plans?" Ginkai asked. Sweat was
dropping&nb sp;down Ginkai's neck in torrents as he desperately looked for an escape. Zuru racked
his brains for some kind of soluti on, but he just kept coming back to ;the large energy bal in
front of& nbsp;him.
"It's hopeless…"
"Wh at?" Everyone, including the medabots exclaimed,&n bsp;wishing that they hadn't heard
someone&nb sp;admitting defeat. Zuru crumpled to the flo or in despair.
"It's over. We won't ;last long like this…"
"Zur u, Ginkai! Koji, somebody answer this thing!"
Ginkai opened up what looked like&n bsp;a smal laptop to check who was ;cal ing. A picture of Ikki's
face appeared on it.
"Ikki? You don't know&nb sp;how glad we are to hear from you!"&nb sp;
"From him? What about someone reliable? "
"Windstorm huh? Wel we don't ;real y care right now, we're in trouble !"
"Relax, we've got this," an un known voice replied as the image on the& nbsp;screen shut off.
"Huh? Who is this? What's with the screen?"
"Ignore the little 'technical' issues here and listen&nb sp;up. Get upstream and leave those little&nb sp;
fishes to us!"
"And who are& nbsp;you?!"
"Ginkai, work with him," W indstorm said. "I don't like him, but ;he's actual y help. Just go
upstream&nb sp;and we'l handle it from thereâ&euro ;¦
. . .
Some time be fore…
"We're counting on y ou guys!"
"Yeah, if you blow it, we 're al done for!"
Ikki and Metabee turned around, ignoring the fighting going&n bsp;on behind them and drove after
every one else. Once catching up, Ikki began e xplaining the plan.
"Robo-Emperors are massiv e weapon type medabots, right?"
"Right." ;Everyone replied in unison.
"And their finishing move is the death-break attack, whi ch just so happens to make things
h eavier at the same time, right?"
"Right. "
"So I thought, that if we could&n bsp;get them between the radio tower and ;the river, and somehow
get them to ;use the deathbreak on the radio tower, we could then knock over the tower and&n bsp;
smash them into the river!"
"Sooooo& nbsp;use the tower like a battering ram?"&nbs p;Windsail said, sceptical of the whole plan.
"Yup, that's pretty much it." Windsail& nbsp;flew al the way down and began&nbs p;repeatedly smashing
Ikki's head, almost tos sing Erika off of her in the process.&nb sp;
"You dummy! Idiot! Baka! Aho! Chitsiru&aci rc;€¦" After mentioning idiot in sever al more different
languages she continued&nbs p;without even stopping. "I thought you came& nbsp;up with some serious
master plan!"
"The best plans are the most simple?"&nb sp;
"So we're no better than before huh?"
"Don't say that! At least we know& nbsp;how to beat them!"
"And what happen s when we meet more of them and the re's no river OR radio towers? What
do we do then?"
"We survive, and&n bsp;kick some meda-butt!" Metabee yel ed with excitement. "Who's with me?"
An explosi on went off towards the group's right. " Oh-oh…"
The ground a few paces to their right exploded outward, reveal ing what looked like a grey
mole li ke medabot with yel ow tape. Scores more of them dug out of the hole with&n bsp;it.
Digmole: MDC
Medafighter: I nvasion force
Specialty: Digging
< b>Medal type: Knight medal
Signature: Shield blockade
Totalizers and Digmoles f looded out onto the streets, and then to the river banks where the
kids and medabots were, trying to push them into the river or drag them under ground.&nb sp;Ikki
looked straight on, ignoring the ;dust flying high, attacking his eyes. Metabe e swirved around
potholes being created from exploding Digmole tunnels, barely surviving&n bsp;each time.
Windstorm scanned the air ;for anything suspicious in the skies. Her&nb sp;eyes flashed their
enigmatic purple color& nbsp;as they searched for either Femjets or&n bsp;the radio tower. Far off in the
distance, a red and white tower winked at her, beckoning them to shelter from t he storm of
medabots.
"Hey Ikki, to the north, I see one!"
"Thanks Win dsail! But… where's north?" Erika&n bsp;slapped her forehead thinking of al ;the
sarcastic answers she could give hi m. Deciding to be nice, she ignored the& nbsp;comment.
"Ikki, every medawatch advance has a compass, use it!" Everyone looked at their compasses
and headed north. The tower was just in view, beckoning them& nbsp;to go faster.
"Come on Metabee, hur ry before those moles get us!"
"I'm ;trying, I'm trying! Don't complain, you're n ot the one running!"
"You're driving Met abee, not running!" The group skidded to ;a halt at the foot of the tower. < br> The medafighters leaped off of the medabo ts and together they ran their. Brass fr owned
slightly, even with blank expression&nb sp;
"Hey, did anyone just feel a little&n bsp;earth…" The ground underneath t hem exploded in a display
of dirt a nd dynamite. A large green medabot leaped&nbs p;out of the ground, roaring and screaming&nb sp;
like some kind of beast. It looked&nb sp;a lot like Tyrel beetle, without the horns, and way more
bulky. It was&n bsp;green with massive shoulder pads and a&nb sp;brick painting on its torso. Everyone
stared at their medawatches for info, but&nb sp;nothing happened.
Insufficient data for ;info. Metabee looked up at the colossus.
"Yo, who are you?" The large green fighting medabot looked down on Metabee.&nbs p;Metabee was
only a bit more than half his size. The medabot stared down a t Metabee with a smugness in
his ey es. He Turned around and with a slight&n bsp;wave of his hand, knocked down a who le three
story building.
"Come back ;when you're stronger" He said, almost indiff erent. A group of Robo Emperors dug
out of the ground, aiming for the group , covering his slow escape.
Metabee shot two seeker missiles at the Mega-Emperors,&nb sp;just to see them get sliced in half&n bsp;
by lasers. Komandog stepped forward and&n bsp;brought up one arm. He fired his lef t arm canon,
blasting it straight into&n bsp;a Mega-Emperor's canon. The whole arm ble w to pieces scattering like
fireworks. M ore Mega-Emperors just clambered over the des troyed body of the Mega-
Emperor.
"This&n bsp;doesn't look good," Erika said worriedly. ;"It looks like we're done for!"
"Thi nk again!" Everyone turned their heads to the source of the voice.
"You read y, Aokshi? Alright, go!" A red flash sho t rhough the air, taking out two Mega- Emperors.
"AOKSHI, USE THE RED BLAZE!"&nbs p;A red medabot with white eyes and a&nb sp;gray spot on his chest
released a&nbs p;red light hitting a Mega-emperor in the&nbs p;chest. The Mega-Emperor went flying
backwar ds into a car, bursting into flames. Mor e Mega-Emperors fired random barrages of
missiles at the medabot in a mad frenzy . The medabot evaded them al like a ninja, barely
taking any hits and ;occasional y kicking a Mega-Emperor.
"Whoa,& nbsp;that medabot's got some serious moves!" Metabee said as he watched another Mega-
Emperor cease functioning.
"Now it's time& nbsp;Aokshi, use the power of the lost medal, YIN N' YANG MEDA FORCE!"&n bsp;
A super massive white and black meda force came hurtling out of the medabot's ;hands before
anyone could even see it&n bsp;charge up. The attack sped along like&nbs p;a tempest, unexpected,
annihilating a whole wave of medabots down before they could even land on the ground to
robattl e. A female medafighter appeared next the&nbs p;red medabot just as it finished releasing&n bsp;
the attack. The entire river bank wa s carved in a swirling pattern like a&nb sp;giant screw had been
run sideways alo ng the ground. The medafighter smiled slightl y as she nearly col apsed from
fati gue.
"That's the bond I have with&n bsp;Aokshi… The Yin n' Yang me daforce…" A third red and grey ninja
medabot jumped down from out ;of nowhere to catch the medafighter before&n bsp;she col apsed..
Everyone was awestruck&nb sp;at the way an entire two waves of&nbs p;Mega-Emperors were cleared in
seconds. It&n bsp;wasn't like they hadn't seen better, or&n bsp;that they couldn't have handled it, but&n bsp;the
way they were al taken out so fast, even if the medafighter fainte d, was almost unbelievable.
Medawatch data&nb sp;flashed on the red ninja medabot.
Akiroshi, a.k.a Aokshi: Medabot Corporation Medafighter: Akiana Tenryuo
Specialty:&nbs p;Red Blaze
Medal type: Lost Medal
Signature: Yang medaforce
Erika looked at Ikki.
Tenryou? As in Ikki&n bsp;Tenryou? Is this a coincidence? Or is&nbs p;this actual y…
Erika's m edawatch flashed again.
"Hey guys, my me dwatch is beeping again."
"That's weird, ;Ikki said absent mindedly as he watched ;the new arrivals walk towards them,
wit h the medafighter being supported. "My medawa tch already scanned both medabots. It < br> can't get data on the other one sinc e he left almost instantly, but I have&n bsp;Akiroshi."
"Wait, it's for the girl."&nbs p;
"Huh?"
Name: Akiana. Medaborg. Human&nbs p;with robotic cyborg medabot implants.
< b>Medafighter: Her own medafighter no watch n eeded
Specialty: Upgrade
Medal Type: Lost Medal
Signature: Yin Medafo rce.
"She's a cyborg?!" Metabee asked&nbs p;in bewilderment. "That's total y freaking m e out!"
"You know I'm right here,&n bsp;right?" She said with slight malicious in tent as she sat down next
to Ikki.& nbsp;"So, Ikki, you got a medabot?"
"Yea h, his name's Metabee. He's a real pain& nbsp;sometimes, but he's awesome anyway."
"He y!" Metabee cut in, getting worked up in to a rage.
"I also have Windsail ov er here. She doesn't have her usual part s so she's not as strong as
Metabee , but she makes up for it by being& nbsp;more sensible than him.
"Watch it!" ;
"You have a medabot too? He looks soooo cool when compared to this bucket of bolts here."
"Oh, so it's like t hat now!" Metabee flared up more. Akiana ;stared at Metabee with a slightly
inter ested look. Metabee stopped and tried looking away, slightly embarrassed. "Hey, I know&nbs p;
I rock but, it's a bit uncomfortable&n bsp;to have someone stare at me like tha t!" Akia ignored it.
"KBT model 50, ;serial number… custom made. Intere sting choice. I heard KBT types are to&n bsp;
stationary, not good in a ful on fire fight, need cover and strategys. ;Not good for you if
you're in a&nb sp;pinch."
"Believe me, Metabee was the perfect choice for me. There's nobody better& nbsp;suited to my style
of robattling!"
"So now I'm just a tool? A decorati on? I see you've started war Ikki, you&n bsp;want fire? I'l give
you fire!" ;
"Now isn't the time," Aokshi said, poin ting towards more Mega-Emperors.
"Leave these ones to me," Akia said getting up to fight, but almost stumbling over aga in.
Aokshi stopped her from fal ing ;over.
"Stay back and rest, I can't ;robattle if your share of the medaforce ;is damaged. You must
rest."
"But I can't leave Ikki to fight alone!"
"He's not alone," Metabee cut in. "He's got me wit h him too. Remember, a m edabot and
medafighter are one person, I kki can never fight alone, even if he&nb sp;tried!"
"Thanks Metabee, but I've got ;something else for you to do that doesn 't involve dying."
"What? And after that inspiring speech? And you're now on you r own? Nah man, get real."
"I need you and Windsail to cut the base&nb sp;of the tower. Melt it down, cut it&nb sp;up, smash it,
anything to make it&nbs p;unsteady enough to fal into the river ."
"So who'l fight?"
"Hell ooooo?& nbsp;Are you forgetting me?" Erika butt in.&n bsp;"I've also got a medabot, remember? I'm&n bsp;
pretty useful! And this gives me a&n bsp;chance to get some kil er shots for& nbsp;the school newspaper!"
"I won't let ;you down Erika," Brass said, polishing her&n bsp;guns.
"Drron't frorrget, I stirl promised Tak I'd rreeturrn bark safery, and that I'd be verrry brrarve.
I'rr fight too!"
"What's that doggy?" Windsail cut in with a hand to where her ear sho uld have been "I can't
hear youâ&e uro;¦ over the sound of how awesome&nb sp;we are! We can kick butt too!"
T he Mega-Emperor's drew nearer to the group.&n bsp;Windsail, Brass, and Komandog stood lined ;
up protecting the tower, with Erika beh ind them giving them al orders.
"W hen did they get so many Mega-Emperors t hough?" Brass asked a little worried. "Becaus e,
I don't think we can hold them."
The Mega-Emperor's creeped just within firing distance and brought their guns up&nbs p;to blast
them away. Lights flashed on& nbsp;for al of the Mega-Emperors as the y al charged Death-Break
attacks at&nbs p;once.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall lllllrrrrrrriiiiiii iiiiiiiii
iggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhtttttt tttttt! Leeeeeee ettttsssss gooooooooooooooo!"
Five Mega-Emperors&nb sp;suddenly blew up into smithereens, parts f lying sky high as four more
went do wn. Like a wave of destruction, the ones to the left of the deceased al &nb sp;suddenly
started blowing to pieces. A ;smal flash of yel ow streaked across&n bsp;the streets, taking a group
of explo sions with it. Missiles flashed crazily into& nbsp;the air in random directions, blowing up two
more Mega-Emperors before they coul d even retaliate. The yel ow flash stopp ed on a Mega-
Emperor's head, barely stop ping long enough to be seen. A yel ow KBT type similar to
Metabee's current body, Saikachis. It had white eyes with red outlines, and the whole thing
was very similar to Saikachis, but more slim and trimmed down. It had no shoulde r
extensions and no obvious areas for&nb sp;action mode transformations. Its right arm ;had a
medium sized pistol attached with one barrel while the left arm had something similar, but
instead with two barrels. The ends of the seeker missiles ;were closed with three red lights on them. The missiles opened up and released& nbsp;two missiles into the Mega-Emperor's face.&nb sp;While
the beast medabot was stil &nbs p;confused, a dark skinned teenaged kid with& nbsp;a red cap latched
onto its back&nbs p;and quickly removed its medal. Both people& nbsp;jumped off and ran like complete
an d total cowards as the Mega-Emperor self ;destructed.
"Another one down, ten mil ion to go! This is great, right Chrome?"
"Great? This is suicide! I love&nb sp;to robattle, but this is total y scre wed up!"
"Feels great to me!"
"Oh&n bsp;yeah? Is it stil great after this?" The medabot knocked the boy aside, away from a stray
missile just before i t splattered him.
"Ok, maybe I'm just&nb sp;saying that to comfort myself, this is&nbs p;SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Ikki stared at the pair as they ran from al the ;medabots they were previously destroying, as ;
if they had caused none of that ma yhem. His medwatch beeped out stats about&nbs p;the medabot.
Chrotojil (Chrome): Consumer&nbs p;electronics (CES)
Medafighter: DC
Specialty: Hit and run tactics
Me dal type: Kabuto medal
Signature: Gunm etal blast
The teenager came running ;towards Ikki and stopped next to him to rest.
"Yo, yo, I dunno what happen ed to your town, but you guys, are seriously, SERIOUSLY,
messed!
