Second last chap of this arc! Prepare for it! This is the Real Deal&nb sp;presents:
This is Spirit!
Ch apter 14: For Love and Freedom (Part 2)< /b>
Dust swirled around the tarmac road, flinging itself on a whim at whoever happened to be nearby.
The memories of the forgotten sun were far off in the distance as an orange and yellow backdrop
against a dark blue sky. The first of the stars awakened, twinkling down on those below. As the day
began to rest, night took o ver, creeping towards everything on the surface. It is very rare that
anybody would take the time to admire and contemplat e this scene. Not if they live in a city. Alone,
seated on a water tower, a c loaked figure stared down at the city scene below him. For once, he
could not think of any comforting words of Wisdom, not even for himself.
Why must humans always fight? What do they gain from it that is worth countless lives but not their
own? I do not understand it. Perhaps I never will...
In contrast to the sce ne up above in the night sky, the city below was in absolute shambles. Just the
24 Hour Hop mart was a fine example.
"Earthkrona , transform head medapart and search for Ant type parts!"
The green tank like&nbs p;medabot's head began rapidly transforming into the jelly like substance. Its head
rapidly switched between different parts before finally stopping on a green helmet with ant
antennae and pincers. Tiny turrets b egan dropping out of two small hatches where its ears would
have been.& nbsp;
"Not so fast..." Two blue flashes swept through the air, dashing against Earthkrona, knocking her
backwards at least 10 metres.
"Now, activate them! " Earthkrona's eyes flashed momentarily as all the turrets activated, peppering
the two medabots with lasers. The two merely jumped out of the circle of lasers, taking no damage.
Like bolts of& nbsp;lightning, they ran through everybody's medabots, knocking them all&nb sp;down before they
were all hit by the Robo-Empress's napalm missiles. "Chrome, Gun-metal blast!" Chrotojil's missiles began glowing green before exploding as a barrage
of missiles ejected.
Gunpowder&nbs p;medapart at 150% power. Warning. Medal defe ct at critical levels.
Robo-Empress stepp ed in the way of the missiles, roaring like a Tyrannosaurus. The missiles all
vibrated from the force of the screech, exploding ;prematurely. Twin-Scissors dashed towards
Chrome as he collapsed, b lacking out again.
"No Chrome, not now,& nbsp;don't go down now!" DC said panicked.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword!" Sumilidon launched towards Twin-Scissors, blocking his sword with his
own claws, protecting Chrome's lifeless body as DC retrieved him. Whitesword appeared right next
to Sumilidon, kicking him all the way back to Koji. The two samurai&nb sp;like medabots started their
charge again.
"Nutranurse, help!"& nbsp;Nutranurse put both of her arms up above her, blocking out their attacks with a
massive pink force field.
"Useless," Twin-Scissors said as he repeatedly hammered it again and again. "What you do is
useless!" His fist crashed into the force field, smashing it into pieces as Nutranurse fell back from the
shock of it.
"Aokshi, use the Redblaze attack!" A massive red fireball flew towards Twin-Scissors, bowling him
over in one shot. Whitesword almost flew over to Aokshi who was ;brandishing a gleaming red sword
that was attached to his arm. They clashed, causing a massive shockwave to spread through out the
field.
"Akia, what do I do?" Aokshi asked as he slowly began getting pushed back with the Robo-Empress
lurching slowly&nb sp;towards him.
"I don't know, I don't know!"
"We can't win this robattle," Miss Nae said. "We just have to hold out until the others arrive." "And when is that?" Koji asked. "What if they don't make it back in time? They were meant to be the
distraction while we won! We can't&nbs p;depend on them to win for us!"
"But look at everyone," Miss Nae said pointing at the damaged medabots. Blackbeetle, Brass,
Kantaroth, Komandog, Aquacrown and Saldron were all lying on the ground or being tended to by
their medafighters. All of them&nb sp;had their medals ejected. To make things worse, Tak was practically
in shock from a very well&nb sp;aimed missile that exploded right next to& nbsp;him. DC was also clutching his
stom ach in pain from a punch to his gut. Karen's right pigtail was chopped to just below her ear and
she looked genuinely scared, rarely commanding Nutranurse to fight and ins tead healing everyone
who was injured. M iss Nae herself was clutching her right arm tightly after a brief encounter&nbs p;with
Whitesword.
Koji clenched his fists tighter as his mind furiously worked to figure out a way out of the situation.
I can't believe we're losing like this! It's only three medabots... three me dabots! How come we can't
beat these guys?
Whitesword ran towards Sumilidon with his sword dragging behind him. His eyes flashed wider than
normal as one of the communications he had with his partners got severed.
"Queen Bee... got beaten?" Whitesword came to an abrupt halt and jumped back warily. "No... it
must be a mistake. A glitch in my systems. These guys couldn't beat you, Queen Bee." The group
looked at the enemy medabots&n bsp;confused as they now looked like they were on the&nb sp;defensive.
"Queen Bee? Do they mean that yellow bee medabo t from before? That was who Ikki was fighting.
Ikki won?"
Twin-Scissors flinched as another signal went dead.
"Grandslam... what a savage way to be defeated. No matter. Prepare yourselves!" All three
medabots charged in for the finishing blow, with Robo-Empress firing her missiles.
"Sumilidon, Disruptor!"
Su milidon began glowing green all over his body. All the incoming missiles exploded before reaching
anybody. Whitesword and Twin- Scissors both leaped back immediately before they were engu lfed
by the explosions and rising clouds of dust. A raging roar bellowed out across the field as the Robo-
Empress stormed out of the explosions aiming all of its guns at Koji and Sumilidon.
"Windstorm, Shadow Sword!"
A bright white flash streaked past Robo-Empress, knocking her backwards in shock. Seconds later,
the guns attached slowly began sliding off of its arms, screeching as metal grinded against metal. The
hulking dinosaur like robot looked at its arm as it began to register its defeat before erupting& nbsp;in
clouds of smoke and fire. The group looked for the white flash that had defeated the Robo-Empress
in one shot.
"Hey guys, did you miss me?" a voice said cheerily.
No way, is that Ikki? Koji asked himself as the dust began to clear. Two figures& nbsp;stepped out of the
dust. An ordinary boy wearing a red shirt and blue shorts stepped out of the dust& nbsp;smiling. "I can't
believe you didn't finish them off yet," Ikki said as he returned to the group. "And here I was thinking&n bsp;
that I might have taken too long to get here but actually it was just in time!"& nbsp;
The white flash returned to Ikki's side as a shorter cream and red medabot with dented parts and
large gaping holes in her armour.
"No sweat. After that last fight, one Robo-Empress is a piece of cake!" Windstorm said smugly.
Hanging ;over her shoulder was the yellow frame of Metabee.&nbs p;His medal was glinting in Ikki's
medawatch.
"Ikki! About time you showed up dude!" Rintarou screamed waving his fist around, nearly punching
DC in the jaw.
"So you're back huh?" Akkiana said with a slight half smile. "Great job. Heard you took out Queen
Bee."
"Yea h, but it wasn't easy," Ikki said rubbing the back of his head shyly, trying not to get
overconfident after his victory.
Whitesword and Twin-Scisso rs watched the two new arrivals suspiciously.
"It looks like the people who beat Queen Bee," Whitesword said warily. "We must be cautious. They
beat Robo-Emp ress in one shot."
"She was the weakest member in our team," Twin-Scissors assured him. "The STG type could have
done it too if he&n bsp;wasn't protecting his friends and fighting us at the same time. But nonetheless, they
are dangerous. Queen Bee would not be defeated by third-rates."&nb sp;
"Then let's end this now!"
The two charged in rage at the newcomer.
"Snap, they're after us!" DC said as he took a few steps back. "Alright Chrotojil, prepare for..."
Chrome wa s lying on the floor, completely exhausted. "Come on Chrome, ;get up!"
"I don't wanna," Chrome said sleepily. "I can't move anymore..."
"You might never move again too. Let's go!" DC picked up Chrotojil and hauled him over his
shoulder. "Darn it... when we get back I'll mix&nb sp;you up myself. Don't be so lazy!"
An earth shattering roar spread through the field. Multiple explosions went off in succession around
where the defeated Robo-Empress was. The purple and black robot stood back up practically reeking
of death as its hunger for blood was brought forth again. Robo-Empress was back.
"They just don't quit do they? Koji said gritting his teeth. Everybody braced themselves as it aimed
what was left of its guns straight at them.
"Formation Delta, move,& nbsp;move, move!" seven grey streaks of s moke swept across the sky, blocking
out the picture of&nbs p;the sky above. Everybody looked up to see a squadron of fighter jets looping
through the skies in perfect unison, descending rapidly to the ground. A barrage of missiles ejected
from them, s lamming straight into the enemies. The Robo-Empress roared in rage, completely < br> unfazed by the attack as it let loose a barrage of red lasers. All the fighters scrambled, breaking
formation as they dived away from the lasers. A laser slammed directly into one fighter, burning a
hole straight through the left wing. The whole jet spiralled wildly out of the skies, heading into what
was left of the convenience store. Two small figures were seen getting ejected out of the jet before
it crashed into the store, exploding in a brilliant blaze of colours.
One of the figures began to slow down as a parachute billowed out from its back. The other figure
appeared to completely stop in midair with fire shooting out of its back. Rocket thrusters appeared
to be holding it up.
The&n bsp;two figures slowly descended to the ground, avoiding the wreckage from the jet. Explosions kept
on going off in the store from the fighter.
The two figures landed on the ground. The smaller one with the rocket thrusters&nbs p;was an Air-Ptera
with a shattered visor and bents all over its body. Patches of steel and wires were showing through
cracks in its armour and its right wing was cut in half. ;The other figure next to it was a teenage girl in
the Select Corps uniform. There were blood soaked bandages tied around her legs and arms and one
large strip tied to her waist. Her left arm was heavily bandaged while her right hand was covered up
by a burnt glove. The armour that was around her right arm was destroyed, possibly beyond repair.
Her hair was soa ked with blood and very unkempt and matted. A blood soaked bandana was tied
around her head, barely recognisable from whatever it was.
She took out a pistol from a holster tied to her right leg and aimed for the Robo-Empress.
"We meet again, payback for last time," she snarled, adding some foul words before firing. The
bullets all ricocheted off of its armour as it turned in rage to face her. It let out a roar as it shot out a
massive red energy blast. She rolled to her left, just barely avoiding the blast, and&nbs p;out of the ashes of
the blast, the Air-Ptera charged after the massive enemy, slashing at it with his sharpened wings. The
Robo-Empress slapped him back towards the Select Corps officer. She dived and caught the Air-
Ptera. "You alright Air-Hawk?"
"I'm& nbsp;fine. Just watch your health, Sakura," he said before his eyes faded off from the stress of the
fighting from before. Sakura clenched her fists tightly, or as tightly as her left fist could handle.
"Don't worry, I'll get us outta here," she said as&nbs p;she attached him to her back as if he were a
backpack. She stood up as rage began to fill her. She looked up at the other medafighters. "Civilians,
get out of here! This is too dangerous for you guys to handle! An armoured escort should be arriving
sh ortly. Stay hidden for now while we handle it!"
DC, Koji, Akkia and Ikki all shook their heads in unison.
"It seems she doesn't know who we are, does she?" DC said.
"It can't be helped now, can it?" Koji said smugly.
"Whatever, she can handle t hese three though," Akkia said preparing to&n bsp;leave.
"Just ignore her and keep moving to the saucer," Ikki com manded. Sakura looked at them confused
as they ran into the saucer.
Perhaps they don't take me seriously because I'm so young? She thought to herself.
"Please,&n bsp;do not be alarmed by my young age!"& nbsp;she yelled. "I am a well trained police officer, and a
Select Corps train ee! My being in High school has no effect o my skill!" Still no reply. "I... I'm a Black
belt too! And very good at kendo! And... I didn't just steal a jet using my father's keys! I actually
know what I'm doing!"
"Shut&nbs p;up!" DC yelled back at her. "When it comes to robattles, we're the professionals! Not you!"
Sakura was completely taken aback by the lack of fear in all of them as they marched into the
saucer. The other three enemy medabots were all too busy holding off the Select Corps to worry
about them.&nb sp;Or her for that matter.
Darn it! Those idiots will get themselves killed! This isn't a robattle. It never was!
Two figures leaped down from literally out of nowhere. An elderly man with a ninja type medabot
walked in after them.
"Wa-wait! Old man! It's too dangerous to go in there!"
The elder turned around to face her.
"How rude! Treat&nbs p;your elders with a bit more respect! Start by calling me Old man 'sir'! Second by
not calling me Old man! I'm only thirty two!"
"What?"
"Just ;call me, Mr Referee!"
And with that,&nb sp;they walked in after them.
Thirty two? Seriously? But&nbs p;ignoring that, I can't let them go any further!
Mentally kicking herself for&nbs p;being so rash about her decisions, she charged after them into the
saucer.& nbsp;
. . .
Ikki looked around him at the interior of the saucer.
"Hey guys, does this place remind you of anything?" He asked everybody.
"Like what? Come on, tell me, tell me!" Rintarou said shouting at the top of his voice.
"The World Robattle stadium," ;Erika said as she began to remember visiting I kki and Koji backstage.
Indeed, the hallway they were inside was a lot like a large hallway in a football stadium. "This place is
just like the WRC stadium, ;just waaaay bigger!"
Now however, instead of posters of past stars on the walls, there were complicated diagrams of
medabots and weapons. It was all painted in a monotonous purple with lines of bolts drilled into the
walls every five metres.
"Not very original for a flying saucer," Akkia said looking around. "It seems like a combo between a
football stadium and a cheap UFO in an old 2011 movie."
"I dunno, I quite liked the movies from that year," DC said. "And from 2010. But for some reason,
everything after 2012 became&nbs p;garbage."
"I disagree," Koji said. "But more importantly, we shouldn't be& nbsp;talking about movies in here. We
could be attacked at any moment."&nbs p;
As if on cue, a large section of the roof caved in, falling startlingly close to Ikki and the reactivated
Metabee.
"Whoa! Wher e the hell did that come from?" Metabee yelled as more of the ceiling began to fall.
"Everybody ta ke cover!" Someone said. Ikki couldn't tell who had spoken over all th e noise. All he
cared about was escaping the falling chunks of metal. A multitude of glowing eyes peered out from
behind the smoke. Before anyone could even react to it they were already bombarded under a hail
of missiles and rockets. Earthkrona drove up in front of everyone, creating a massive green force
field blocking out the bullets. Her arms were morphed into a pair of thin&nb sp;grey arms with bandages
wrapped around them. Very similar to ghost parts belonging to Mistyghost.
A troop of Robo-Emperors and Robo-Empresses stormed out of the crack in the ceiling, firing in all
directions, even occasionally themselves. Another crash spread through the hallway as another hole
opened up in the ceiling. Eleven figures dropped down from the ceiling.
"Tyrellbeetle, go!"&nb sp;
"Blackbeetle, take them down!"
Explosions& nbsp;flashed through the air, clouding out whatever was happening beyo nd the cloud of
smoke. Screams and bending metal was all that could be heard before a Robo-Emperor was seen
flying out of the smoke. Tyrellbeetle jumped out of the smoke after it. With his eyes glowing bright
red with rage, he grabbed its spaghetti like legs and swung it around himself rapidly, smashing its
head against the walls way too often for it to be healthy. Finally with a primal roar, he smashed it
against the wall again, smashing it through the wall into the neighbouring room.
"Alright! That's how you get the job done!" Tyrellbeetle exclaimed clenching his fist tightly. The
smoke cleared behind him to reveal an army of Robo-Emperors all collapsed on the floor with
ejected& nbsp;medals. The modified Blackbeetle was sitting on top of one of them like a it was a bench,
swinging her feet in its face, kicking it again and again.
"Well that&n bsp;was a good warm up," she said as she jumped off. Saikachis blowing at his gun barrels to
clear the smoke away.
"So can we go now?" he asked sounding slightly bored. "This place aint enough for me."
"Don't get cocky now guys," Leo&nbs p;said wading over the defeated bodies. "We'r e in the very centre of
it all. We could get jumped at any moment."
"That's why you've got me here to save you!"&nbs p;Ginkai said with a grin.
"Don't forget about&nb sp;me..." Zuru said almost silently.
"Hey, hey, medabots are just as important as you guys!" Arc-Dash said noisily as he and Arcbeetle
arrived on the scene. Space Medafighter X appeared out of thin ;air standing in the middle of the
group, startling everybody. He looked around himself seemingly confused, as if he didn't know that
nobody knew that&nbs p;he was there the whole time.
"Great&nb sp;job everybody," he said, shrugging off everybody's confusion. "I'm impressed that you
managed to make it this far. Especially you Ikki. You might not be the strongest here, but you
perhaps had the biggest challenge fighting Queen Bee on your own. We had to get a&nb sp;whole team
together just to keep up&n bsp;with Grandslam... Hey, are you listening to me?"
Ikki and Kam weren't paying him the slightest ;attention. Instead they were both staring intently at&nb sp;
Leo's medabots. Metabee and Kam's Blackbeetle were also talki ng to their counterparts.
"No way," Ikki said. "Another Saikachis? I thought it was a custom model that only Miss Nae had
especially for me! I thought&nbs p;I was special!"
"No, sorry Ikki," Miss Nae said. "It's only your Saikachis which was custom made for demolition
mode. There are many others with the same model.
"No! And I thought I was special..." Ikki sai d dejectedly.
"More importantly," Kam began. "This medabot is a Kilobot, just like Blackbeetle. But all of the parts
were put together from a group of other medabots..."
"I thought I was special..."
"There don't s eem to be any clashing parts. All though those Prominence horns on the ;Saikachis, no
ordinary medafighter could weld those ;together and have them still functioning. I commend your
skill as a mechanic."&nbs p;
"Aw, it's not that hard," Leo said smiling br ightly. "I've learnt some of this stuff in school so I'm pretty
familiar with the stuff."
"You must also be pretty&nbs p;good to have two medabots instead of one. I hear Ikki and Zuru have a
tough time of it..."
While they were talking with each other, Metabee&nb sp;was... well, being Metabee.
"You cheat! You're trying ;to copy my style! There can only be,&nb sp;one Metabee!"
"Please, the Saikachis swag can only be rocked by me! Keep ;your outdated name and reclaim your
out dated parts!"
"What you talking about? I've go t more skills than you'll ever know! Wor ld Robattle champion baby!
Or at least Ikki says I was in the Championship..."
"You can't even remember? You must be DEFECTIVE!"
"Kikikik ikai! I... am not... DEFECTIVE!"
"you're& nbsp;straight up defective! I bet you'll forget your name soon enough!"
"Look pal, I don't look like I was run through a washing machine, you do. S o stuff it!"
"Bra, my look is what& nbsp;everybody's talking about!"
"Then everyone will look homeless soon enough... and you can't use action mode like that& nbsp;can you? I
can't believe it, hahaha !"
"Who needs action mode? It's not&n bsp;like I'm jealous or anything!"
The&nb sp;two kept arguing like children while the Backbeetle's seemed to be getting along perfectly well,
prom ising to exchange medaparts some time. Ikki had finally stopped whining about the loss of his
uniqueness and was now staring Leo down evilly.
"Don't think you're so awesome just because you have two medabots&nb sp;like mine..."
"Huh? Is there a problem?" Leo said innocently enough. Ikki looked up at him, noticing his insane
height and instantly slunk away b ehind Metabee. "What? What's wrong?" Leo asked confused.
"No! N-n-n-nothing. Nothing at all. Sorry f-f-for b-bothering you. I know y-y-you weren't trying to
copy me.. ."
Leo looked at Ikki confused before shrugging his shoulders and moving ahead of the group deeper
into the saucer. Everybody else followed after him. The only other sound being heard wa s the
repetitive clinking of footsteps on metal.
"Hold it!"
Everybody turn ed around as they saw the flustered Sakura sprinting after them, huffing and puff ing.
"I... cannot... allow you... to go any further! Whew I'm tired..." Sa kura came to a standstill in front of
the group, heaving and wheezing.
"Oh, you're back," Koji said with very little ;emotion at all.
"And I was thinking you wouldn't make it," DC s aid with a half smile. "Thought you'd get lost outside
or something."
"Who do you think I am? I'm a member of the Select Corps! Or at least I'm training to be one."
" 'training' isn't enough here," Akkia said. "Unless you can tell me you're as strong as these guys, you
can't come here ."
"Correction, you can't come here!"& nbsp;Sakura said. "This place isn't safe for civilians. You'll get hurt!"
"Excuse me young lady," DC said. "But it appears that you are the one in need of the most medical
attention."
"I'm&nbs p;trained to handle this like it was nothing, and that didn't sound elegant at all!" < br> "Ok seriously, what happened to you?" Rintarou asked noting her haggard appearance. "You look
like... I dunno, something bad!"
Sakura looked herself over, and true enough, when she compared herself to the others she looked
terrible.
"Well my plane crashed. Twice. Sorry about wrecking the store that time..."& nbsp;
"Wrecking what?!" Space Medafighter X sc reamed panicked. Everyone turned to face him, unsure of
what was wrong. He quickly regained his composure and pretended not to notice anything after
that, obvio usly nervous about something. Regaining her composure, Sakura started speaking again.
"Well it doesn't matter! ;I also have another mission. Phantom Renegad e! AKA, Hikaru Agata, you are
under arrest for&n bsp;causing the ten days of darkness!"
"So I caused the ten days of darkness. But how are you planning on arresting me , when you have a
broken arm, a&nbs p;broken medabot, and a broken spirit?"
"What do you mean? I can still fight just as well as you!"
"But I may be your best bet at victory right now. You can't afford to arrest me. You know it yourself."
"I... I don't need your help or your advice... I..."
"Look out!"
DC leaped forward, pushing Sakura backwards about five metres, just before a large section of the
wall smashed inwards. Chunks of steel shattered into the hallway, flying way too close to the people
standing inside. A group of Belzelgas stepped out of the hole in the wall, with their visors glowing
bright red. DC and Sakura stepped backwards, narrowly avoiding a swinging punch that smashed
into the wall next to them. ;
"Krosserdog, use the decoy hammer!"
"Windstorm, transform right ar m!"
Krosserdog charged forward, smashing his gargantuan fist into a Belzelga's face. While it toppled
backwards, Windstorm leaped over Kroswserdog's back, morphing her sword arm into Sumilidon't
classic Flexorsword part. She sliced it through the Belzelga's chest, shutting it down instantly. The
r est of the Belzelga's all dived on top of Windstorm and Krosserdog, stopping& nbsp;them dead in their
tracks.
"Don't underestimate me !" Windstorm screamed as they all flung off of her from a massive tornado.
A wayward flying Belzelga was flung straight into Arcbe etle who merely held his fist out in front of
himself. The Belzelga flew straight into the fist, crumpling to&nbs p;the ground as it shut down. Another
section of the wall exploded, revealing more Belzelga's, Blackram's, and two Mega-Emperors.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword!"
A yellow flash split through the air, disabling multiple medabots at once, but not stop ping them. The
Mega-Emperors roared in rage as they fired all their guns at once. "Now Sumilidon, disrupt them!"
Random missiles began exploding prematurely, hiding them behind&nb sp;a cloud of dust.
"Alright, now's our chance to run!" Miss Nae said as&nbs p;the whole group, including Sakura, ran deeper
into the saucer. Akkiana and Space Medafighter X stopped and turned around with their medabots,
facing the enemys.
"What are you guys doing?" Ikki asked, seeing them keep robattling.
"We'll&nb sp;hold them off for a while," Akkiana said cracking her knuckles. "You guys keep going and win
for us. We'll catch up if you need us."
"Wait, what if more appear?" Rintarou said as he gla nced more steel and concrete being blown out.
"You dude' s won't make it!"
"Don't you forget ;who I am," Space Medafighter X said, sparing a glance back. "I cannot be
defeated!"
"As long as I'm protecting Akkia, I'm invincible," Aokshi said as he concentrated a red energy ball
between his hands. "My soul burns, just like my red blaze!"
"Aw come on! Why do the strong guys always leave?" DC whined as he realised that the two
strongest medafighters were gone.
"Don't forget about me," Leo& nbsp;said with a hard look in his eyes. "I'm not gonna go down here."
"Hey guys, have you forgotten me already?" Banjo asked, pointing at his own chest with his thumb in
an overconfident manner. "I won't lose to these guys!"
Sakura s tared at them all with wide eyes.
< i>Incredible. They took out mass numbers of Belzelgas with ease! I've never seen anybody who could
do that in the Select Corps. I can barely handle one of them. Not to mention two Mega-Emperors!
"Hey... who are you guys anyway?" Sakura asked warily.
"Who, us?" ;DC asked with a smile. "I told you already, we're the professionals whe n it comes to
robattles!"
"We're the best of the best!" Leo said while they were running. ;
"Well since she wants to know who we are, I'll introduce mysel f." Koji said, filling himself up with
pride at someone recognising his superior qualities. "The name's Koji Karakuchi, second best
medafighter in the whole of Japan!"
"DC here! Fifth strongest from Malawi Africa! Victor's got nothing on this!"
"And I'm& nbsp;Ikki Tenryou. The third strongest medafighter in Japan, and future strongest medafighter in
the world!"
Tenryou? Don't tell me he's... wait, these guys are...
"Wait a second," S akura said as it hit her. "You're Ikki Tenryou? As in, Jyouzo Tenryou's son? You're
like a Legend back at H Q after stopping Giganko, and Metabee's our hero after stopping Baby Blu,
along with all the&nb sp;other medabots who were with him! I can't believe this! It's you guys! And-and-
and, I should have noticed before, but there's even Nae Akihabara with you! And-and, no way. Just,
I'm sorry I didn't li sten to you before! I'm sorry I didn't trust you guys before! I really am!"
"Not a problem at all, I'm used to people not trusting me," Ginkai said offhandedly. "We'll just keep
on moving."
"Just one pro blem," Miss Nae said. Everybody turned to the older authority, waiting to hear what
wisdom she had to say. "Some of us have to stop here and go back fo r safety, or at least repair the
damaged medabots." < br> "Huh?"
"Well, all my elemental series are shut down or nearly shut down. Same with Krosserdog and
Totalizer. Nutranurs e is also running low on power, Kantarot h has taken enough damage. The only
ones who can&nbs p;now fight are you guys. Koji, Zuru, DC, Leo, Ginkai, Banjo, and you Ikki."
"Hey, I can also fight!" Sakura said indignant. "I told you, I'm a cop!"
"Lady, you can barely s tand!" Metabee said as his long winded argument with the Saikachis finally
stopped.
"Yes I can!"
"You, and your medabot, are finished if you go any further," Leo said with finality. "Go back and rest
with Miss Nae. You can wait by a hospital."
< hr> Without another word, the others all marched into a separate hallway as they looked f or another
exit.
"Well then, I guess I'll escort you out seeing as you're so& nbsp;beaten down," DC said. "Alright, let's go."
"Nnngg... Fine! I'm going!"
Just before everybody left, Erika stopped and looked back over her shoulder, as if meaning to say
something but not g etting the courage for it.
“Hey Ikki,†she ;said.
“Huh?â€
â&eu ro;œDon’t die. Whenever someone is told to be careful, they die. So I’m telling you&nb sp;know, don’t die.â€
&ac irc;€œDon’t worry, Iâ€&t rade;m fine.â€
Erika ran off to catch up with everybody else while Sakura and DC were only just starting off.
DC and Sakura both walked slowly after the others leaving with Chrotojil, Sakura limping slightly
along the way. "This is only because my team is fighting outside. I'll just help them out."
"Yeah yeah sure you will," DC said sarcastically. "Just give it a rest so I can join& nbsp;the others alre..."
A low rumbling noise spread through the hallway as the ground started shaking as if from an
earthquake. A section of the roof fell on, blocking off Sakura and DC from the escaping group, and
from Ikki's group. They disappeared from view behind a curtain of steel and concrete.
"Yo! You alright back ther e?" Metabee asked.
"Yeah, it's all good," DC said from behind the walls . "I'll meet up with you later!"
"Y ou'll be okay?" Zuru asked.
"Just go!&nb sp;This time, you're the heroes! I've had my chance, n ow you go!"
The last of the group&n bsp;sprinted ahead, deeper into the saucer.
. . .
This is Spirit!
Ch apter 14: For Love and Freedom (Part 2)< /b>
Dust swirled around the tarmac road, flinging itself on a whim at whoever happened to be nearby.
The memories of the forgotten sun were far off in the distance as an orange and yellow backdrop
against a dark blue sky. The first of the stars awakened, twinkling down on those below. As the day
began to rest, night took o ver, creeping towards everything on the surface. It is very rare that
anybody would take the time to admire and contemplat e this scene. Not if they live in a city. Alone,
seated on a water tower, a c loaked figure stared down at the city scene below him. For once, he
could not think of any comforting words of Wisdom, not even for himself.
Why must humans always fight? What do they gain from it that is worth countless lives but not their
own? I do not understand it. Perhaps I never will...
In contrast to the sce ne up above in the night sky, the city below was in absolute shambles. Just the
24 Hour Hop mart was a fine example.
"Earthkrona , transform head medapart and search for Ant type parts!"
The green tank like&nbs p;medabot's head began rapidly transforming into the jelly like substance. Its head
rapidly switched between different parts before finally stopping on a green helmet with ant
antennae and pincers. Tiny turrets b egan dropping out of two small hatches where its ears would
have been.& nbsp;
"Not so fast..." Two blue flashes swept through the air, dashing against Earthkrona, knocking her
backwards at least 10 metres.
"Now, activate them! " Earthkrona's eyes flashed momentarily as all the turrets activated, peppering
the two medabots with lasers. The two merely jumped out of the circle of lasers, taking no damage.
Like bolts of& nbsp;lightning, they ran through everybody's medabots, knocking them all&nb sp;down before they
were all hit by the Robo-Empress's napalm missiles. "Chrome, Gun-metal blast!" Chrotojil's missiles began glowing green before exploding as a barrage
of missiles ejected.
Gunpowder&nbs p;medapart at 150% power. Warning. Medal defe ct at critical levels.
Robo-Empress stepp ed in the way of the missiles, roaring like a Tyrannosaurus. The missiles all
vibrated from the force of the screech, exploding ;prematurely. Twin-Scissors dashed towards
Chrome as he collapsed, b lacking out again.
"No Chrome, not now,& nbsp;don't go down now!" DC said panicked.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword!" Sumilidon launched towards Twin-Scissors, blocking his sword with his
own claws, protecting Chrome's lifeless body as DC retrieved him. Whitesword appeared right next
to Sumilidon, kicking him all the way back to Koji. The two samurai&nb sp;like medabots started their
charge again.
"Nutranurse, help!"& nbsp;Nutranurse put both of her arms up above her, blocking out their attacks with a
massive pink force field.
"Useless," Twin-Scissors said as he repeatedly hammered it again and again. "What you do is
useless!" His fist crashed into the force field, smashing it into pieces as Nutranurse fell back from the
shock of it.
"Aokshi, use the Redblaze attack!" A massive red fireball flew towards Twin-Scissors, bowling him
over in one shot. Whitesword almost flew over to Aokshi who was ;brandishing a gleaming red sword
that was attached to his arm. They clashed, causing a massive shockwave to spread through out the
field.
"Akia, what do I do?" Aokshi asked as he slowly began getting pushed back with the Robo-Empress
lurching slowly&nb sp;towards him.
"I don't know, I don't know!"
"We can't win this robattle," Miss Nae said. "We just have to hold out until the others arrive." "And when is that?" Koji asked. "What if they don't make it back in time? They were meant to be the
distraction while we won! We can't&nbs p;depend on them to win for us!"
"But look at everyone," Miss Nae said pointing at the damaged medabots. Blackbeetle, Brass,
Kantaroth, Komandog, Aquacrown and Saldron were all lying on the ground or being tended to by
their medafighters. All of them&nb sp;had their medals ejected. To make things worse, Tak was practically
in shock from a very well&nb sp;aimed missile that exploded right next to& nbsp;him. DC was also clutching his
stom ach in pain from a punch to his gut. Karen's right pigtail was chopped to just below her ear and
she looked genuinely scared, rarely commanding Nutranurse to fight and ins tead healing everyone
who was injured. M iss Nae herself was clutching her right arm tightly after a brief encounter&nbs p;with
Whitesword.
Koji clenched his fists tighter as his mind furiously worked to figure out a way out of the situation.
I can't believe we're losing like this! It's only three medabots... three me dabots! How come we can't
beat these guys?
Whitesword ran towards Sumilidon with his sword dragging behind him. His eyes flashed wider than
normal as one of the communications he had with his partners got severed.
"Queen Bee... got beaten?" Whitesword came to an abrupt halt and jumped back warily. "No... it
must be a mistake. A glitch in my systems. These guys couldn't beat you, Queen Bee." The group
looked at the enemy medabots&n bsp;confused as they now looked like they were on the&nb sp;defensive.
"Queen Bee? Do they mean that yellow bee medabo t from before? That was who Ikki was fighting.
Ikki won?"
Twin-Scissors flinched as another signal went dead.
"Grandslam... what a savage way to be defeated. No matter. Prepare yourselves!" All three
medabots charged in for the finishing blow, with Robo-Empress firing her missiles.
"Sumilidon, Disruptor!"
Su milidon began glowing green all over his body. All the incoming missiles exploded before reaching
anybody. Whitesword and Twin- Scissors both leaped back immediately before they were engu lfed
by the explosions and rising clouds of dust. A raging roar bellowed out across the field as the Robo-
Empress stormed out of the explosions aiming all of its guns at Koji and Sumilidon.
"Windstorm, Shadow Sword!"
A bright white flash streaked past Robo-Empress, knocking her backwards in shock. Seconds later,
the guns attached slowly began sliding off of its arms, screeching as metal grinded against metal. The
hulking dinosaur like robot looked at its arm as it began to register its defeat before erupting& nbsp;in
clouds of smoke and fire. The group looked for the white flash that had defeated the Robo-Empress
in one shot.
"Hey guys, did you miss me?" a voice said cheerily.
No way, is that Ikki? Koji asked himself as the dust began to clear. Two figures& nbsp;stepped out of the
dust. An ordinary boy wearing a red shirt and blue shorts stepped out of the dust& nbsp;smiling. "I can't
believe you didn't finish them off yet," Ikki said as he returned to the group. "And here I was thinking&n bsp;
that I might have taken too long to get here but actually it was just in time!"& nbsp;
The white flash returned to Ikki's side as a shorter cream and red medabot with dented parts and
large gaping holes in her armour.
"No sweat. After that last fight, one Robo-Empress is a piece of cake!" Windstorm said smugly.
Hanging ;over her shoulder was the yellow frame of Metabee.&nbs p;His medal was glinting in Ikki's
medawatch.
"Ikki! About time you showed up dude!" Rintarou screamed waving his fist around, nearly punching
DC in the jaw.
"So you're back huh?" Akkiana said with a slight half smile. "Great job. Heard you took out Queen
Bee."
"Yea h, but it wasn't easy," Ikki said rubbing the back of his head shyly, trying not to get
overconfident after his victory.
Whitesword and Twin-Scisso rs watched the two new arrivals suspiciously.
"It looks like the people who beat Queen Bee," Whitesword said warily. "We must be cautious. They
beat Robo-Emp ress in one shot."
"She was the weakest member in our team," Twin-Scissors assured him. "The STG type could have
done it too if he&n bsp;wasn't protecting his friends and fighting us at the same time. But nonetheless, they
are dangerous. Queen Bee would not be defeated by third-rates."&nb sp;
"Then let's end this now!"
The two charged in rage at the newcomer.
"Snap, they're after us!" DC said as he took a few steps back. "Alright Chrotojil, prepare for..."
Chrome wa s lying on the floor, completely exhausted. "Come on Chrome, ;get up!"
"I don't wanna," Chrome said sleepily. "I can't move anymore..."
"You might never move again too. Let's go!" DC picked up Chrotojil and hauled him over his
shoulder. "Darn it... when we get back I'll mix&nb sp;you up myself. Don't be so lazy!"
An earth shattering roar spread through the field. Multiple explosions went off in succession around
where the defeated Robo-Empress was. The purple and black robot stood back up practically reeking
of death as its hunger for blood was brought forth again. Robo-Empress was back.
"They just don't quit do they? Koji said gritting his teeth. Everybody braced themselves as it aimed
what was left of its guns straight at them.
"Formation Delta, move,& nbsp;move, move!" seven grey streaks of s moke swept across the sky, blocking
out the picture of&nbs p;the sky above. Everybody looked up to see a squadron of fighter jets looping
through the skies in perfect unison, descending rapidly to the ground. A barrage of missiles ejected
from them, s lamming straight into the enemies. The Robo-Empress roared in rage, completely < br> unfazed by the attack as it let loose a barrage of red lasers. All the fighters scrambled, breaking
formation as they dived away from the lasers. A laser slammed directly into one fighter, burning a
hole straight through the left wing. The whole jet spiralled wildly out of the skies, heading into what
was left of the convenience store. Two small figures were seen getting ejected out of the jet before
it crashed into the store, exploding in a brilliant blaze of colours.
One of the figures began to slow down as a parachute billowed out from its back. The other figure
appeared to completely stop in midair with fire shooting out of its back. Rocket thrusters appeared
to be holding it up.
The&n bsp;two figures slowly descended to the ground, avoiding the wreckage from the jet. Explosions kept
on going off in the store from the fighter.
The two figures landed on the ground. The smaller one with the rocket thrusters&nbs p;was an Air-Ptera
with a shattered visor and bents all over its body. Patches of steel and wires were showing through
cracks in its armour and its right wing was cut in half. ;The other figure next to it was a teenage girl in
the Select Corps uniform. There were blood soaked bandages tied around her legs and arms and one
large strip tied to her waist. Her left arm was heavily bandaged while her right hand was covered up
by a burnt glove. The armour that was around her right arm was destroyed, possibly beyond repair.
Her hair was soa ked with blood and very unkempt and matted. A blood soaked bandana was tied
around her head, barely recognisable from whatever it was.
She took out a pistol from a holster tied to her right leg and aimed for the Robo-Empress.
"We meet again, payback for last time," she snarled, adding some foul words before firing. The
bullets all ricocheted off of its armour as it turned in rage to face her. It let out a roar as it shot out a
massive red energy blast. She rolled to her left, just barely avoiding the blast, and&nbs p;out of the ashes of
the blast, the Air-Ptera charged after the massive enemy, slashing at it with his sharpened wings. The
Robo-Empress slapped him back towards the Select Corps officer. She dived and caught the Air-
Ptera. "You alright Air-Hawk?"
"I'm& nbsp;fine. Just watch your health, Sakura," he said before his eyes faded off from the stress of the
fighting from before. Sakura clenched her fists tightly, or as tightly as her left fist could handle.
"Don't worry, I'll get us outta here," she said as&nbs p;she attached him to her back as if he were a
backpack. She stood up as rage began to fill her. She looked up at the other medafighters. "Civilians,
get out of here! This is too dangerous for you guys to handle! An armoured escort should be arriving
sh ortly. Stay hidden for now while we handle it!"
DC, Koji, Akkia and Ikki all shook their heads in unison.
"It seems she doesn't know who we are, does she?" DC said.
"It can't be helped now, can it?" Koji said smugly.
"Whatever, she can handle t hese three though," Akkia said preparing to&n bsp;leave.
"Just ignore her and keep moving to the saucer," Ikki com manded. Sakura looked at them confused
as they ran into the saucer.
Perhaps they don't take me seriously because I'm so young? She thought to herself.
"Please,&n bsp;do not be alarmed by my young age!"& nbsp;she yelled. "I am a well trained police officer, and a
Select Corps train ee! My being in High school has no effect o my skill!" Still no reply. "I... I'm a Black
belt too! And very good at kendo! And... I didn't just steal a jet using my father's keys! I actually
know what I'm doing!"
"Shut&nbs p;up!" DC yelled back at her. "When it comes to robattles, we're the professionals! Not you!"
Sakura was completely taken aback by the lack of fear in all of them as they marched into the
saucer. The other three enemy medabots were all too busy holding off the Select Corps to worry
about them.&nb sp;Or her for that matter.
Darn it! Those idiots will get themselves killed! This isn't a robattle. It never was!
Two figures leaped down from literally out of nowhere. An elderly man with a ninja type medabot
walked in after them.
"Wa-wait! Old man! It's too dangerous to go in there!"
The elder turned around to face her.
"How rude! Treat&nbs p;your elders with a bit more respect! Start by calling me Old man 'sir'! Second by
not calling me Old man! I'm only thirty two!"
"What?"
"Just ;call me, Mr Referee!"
And with that,&nb sp;they walked in after them.
Thirty two? Seriously? But&nbs p;ignoring that, I can't let them go any further!
Mentally kicking herself for&nbs p;being so rash about her decisions, she charged after them into the
saucer.& nbsp;
. . .
Ikki looked around him at the interior of the saucer.
"Hey guys, does this place remind you of anything?" He asked everybody.
"Like what? Come on, tell me, tell me!" Rintarou said shouting at the top of his voice.
"The World Robattle stadium," ;Erika said as she began to remember visiting I kki and Koji backstage.
Indeed, the hallway they were inside was a lot like a large hallway in a football stadium. "This place is
just like the WRC stadium, ;just waaaay bigger!"
Now however, instead of posters of past stars on the walls, there were complicated diagrams of
medabots and weapons. It was all painted in a monotonous purple with lines of bolts drilled into the
walls every five metres.
"Not very original for a flying saucer," Akkia said looking around. "It seems like a combo between a
football stadium and a cheap UFO in an old 2011 movie."
"I dunno, I quite liked the movies from that year," DC said. "And from 2010. But for some reason,
everything after 2012 became&nbs p;garbage."
"I disagree," Koji said. "But more importantly, we shouldn't be& nbsp;talking about movies in here. We
could be attacked at any moment."&nbs p;
As if on cue, a large section of the roof caved in, falling startlingly close to Ikki and the reactivated
Metabee.
"Whoa! Wher e the hell did that come from?" Metabee yelled as more of the ceiling began to fall.
"Everybody ta ke cover!" Someone said. Ikki couldn't tell who had spoken over all th e noise. All he
cared about was escaping the falling chunks of metal. A multitude of glowing eyes peered out from
behind the smoke. Before anyone could even react to it they were already bombarded under a hail
of missiles and rockets. Earthkrona drove up in front of everyone, creating a massive green force
field blocking out the bullets. Her arms were morphed into a pair of thin&nb sp;grey arms with bandages
wrapped around them. Very similar to ghost parts belonging to Mistyghost.
A troop of Robo-Emperors and Robo-Empresses stormed out of the crack in the ceiling, firing in all
directions, even occasionally themselves. Another crash spread through the hallway as another hole
opened up in the ceiling. Eleven figures dropped down from the ceiling.
"Tyrellbeetle, go!"&nb sp;
"Blackbeetle, take them down!"
Explosions& nbsp;flashed through the air, clouding out whatever was happening beyo nd the cloud of
smoke. Screams and bending metal was all that could be heard before a Robo-Emperor was seen
flying out of the smoke. Tyrellbeetle jumped out of the smoke after it. With his eyes glowing bright
red with rage, he grabbed its spaghetti like legs and swung it around himself rapidly, smashing its
head against the walls way too often for it to be healthy. Finally with a primal roar, he smashed it
against the wall again, smashing it through the wall into the neighbouring room.
"Alright! That's how you get the job done!" Tyrellbeetle exclaimed clenching his fist tightly. The
smoke cleared behind him to reveal an army of Robo-Emperors all collapsed on the floor with
ejected& nbsp;medals. The modified Blackbeetle was sitting on top of one of them like a it was a bench,
swinging her feet in its face, kicking it again and again.
"Well that&n bsp;was a good warm up," she said as she jumped off. Saikachis blowing at his gun barrels to
clear the smoke away.
"So can we go now?" he asked sounding slightly bored. "This place aint enough for me."
"Don't get cocky now guys," Leo&nbs p;said wading over the defeated bodies. "We'r e in the very centre of
it all. We could get jumped at any moment."
"That's why you've got me here to save you!"&nbs p;Ginkai said with a grin.
"Don't forget about&nb sp;me..." Zuru said almost silently.
"Hey, hey, medabots are just as important as you guys!" Arc-Dash said noisily as he and Arcbeetle
arrived on the scene. Space Medafighter X appeared out of thin ;air standing in the middle of the
group, startling everybody. He looked around himself seemingly confused, as if he didn't know that
nobody knew that&nbs p;he was there the whole time.
"Great&nb sp;job everybody," he said, shrugging off everybody's confusion. "I'm impressed that you
managed to make it this far. Especially you Ikki. You might not be the strongest here, but you
perhaps had the biggest challenge fighting Queen Bee on your own. We had to get a&nb sp;whole team
together just to keep up&n bsp;with Grandslam... Hey, are you listening to me?"
Ikki and Kam weren't paying him the slightest ;attention. Instead they were both staring intently at&nb sp;
Leo's medabots. Metabee and Kam's Blackbeetle were also talki ng to their counterparts.
"No way," Ikki said. "Another Saikachis? I thought it was a custom model that only Miss Nae had
especially for me! I thought&nbs p;I was special!"
"No, sorry Ikki," Miss Nae said. "It's only your Saikachis which was custom made for demolition
mode. There are many others with the same model.
"No! And I thought I was special..." Ikki sai d dejectedly.
"More importantly," Kam began. "This medabot is a Kilobot, just like Blackbeetle. But all of the parts
were put together from a group of other medabots..."
"I thought I was special..."
"There don't s eem to be any clashing parts. All though those Prominence horns on the ;Saikachis, no
ordinary medafighter could weld those ;together and have them still functioning. I commend your
skill as a mechanic."&nbs p;
"Aw, it's not that hard," Leo said smiling br ightly. "I've learnt some of this stuff in school so I'm pretty
familiar with the stuff."
"You must also be pretty&nbs p;good to have two medabots instead of one. I hear Ikki and Zuru have a
tough time of it..."
While they were talking with each other, Metabee&nb sp;was... well, being Metabee.
"You cheat! You're trying ;to copy my style! There can only be,&nb sp;one Metabee!"
"Please, the Saikachis swag can only be rocked by me! Keep ;your outdated name and reclaim your
out dated parts!"
"What you talking about? I've go t more skills than you'll ever know! Wor ld Robattle champion baby!
Or at least Ikki says I was in the Championship..."
"You can't even remember? You must be DEFECTIVE!"
"Kikikik ikai! I... am not... DEFECTIVE!"
"you're& nbsp;straight up defective! I bet you'll forget your name soon enough!"
"Look pal, I don't look like I was run through a washing machine, you do. S o stuff it!"
"Bra, my look is what& nbsp;everybody's talking about!"
"Then everyone will look homeless soon enough... and you can't use action mode like that& nbsp;can you? I
can't believe it, hahaha !"
"Who needs action mode? It's not&n bsp;like I'm jealous or anything!"
The&nb sp;two kept arguing like children while the Backbeetle's seemed to be getting along perfectly well,
prom ising to exchange medaparts some time. Ikki had finally stopped whining about the loss of his
uniqueness and was now staring Leo down evilly.
"Don't think you're so awesome just because you have two medabots&nb sp;like mine..."
"Huh? Is there a problem?" Leo said innocently enough. Ikki looked up at him, noticing his insane
height and instantly slunk away b ehind Metabee. "What? What's wrong?" Leo asked confused.
"No! N-n-n-nothing. Nothing at all. Sorry f-f-for b-bothering you. I know y-y-you weren't trying to
copy me.. ."
Leo looked at Ikki confused before shrugging his shoulders and moving ahead of the group deeper
into the saucer. Everybody else followed after him. The only other sound being heard wa s the
repetitive clinking of footsteps on metal.
"Hold it!"
Everybody turn ed around as they saw the flustered Sakura sprinting after them, huffing and puff ing.
"I... cannot... allow you... to go any further! Whew I'm tired..." Sa kura came to a standstill in front of
the group, heaving and wheezing.
"Oh, you're back," Koji said with very little ;emotion at all.
"And I was thinking you wouldn't make it," DC s aid with a half smile. "Thought you'd get lost outside
or something."
"Who do you think I am? I'm a member of the Select Corps! Or at least I'm training to be one."
" 'training' isn't enough here," Akkia said. "Unless you can tell me you're as strong as these guys, you
can't come here ."
"Correction, you can't come here!"& nbsp;Sakura said. "This place isn't safe for civilians. You'll get hurt!"
"Excuse me young lady," DC said. "But it appears that you are the one in need of the most medical
attention."
"I'm&nbs p;trained to handle this like it was nothing, and that didn't sound elegant at all!" < br> "Ok seriously, what happened to you?" Rintarou asked noting her haggard appearance. "You look
like... I dunno, something bad!"
Sakura looked herself over, and true enough, when she compared herself to the others she looked
terrible.
"Well my plane crashed. Twice. Sorry about wrecking the store that time..."& nbsp;
"Wrecking what?!" Space Medafighter X sc reamed panicked. Everyone turned to face him, unsure of
what was wrong. He quickly regained his composure and pretended not to notice anything after
that, obvio usly nervous about something. Regaining her composure, Sakura started speaking again.
"Well it doesn't matter! ;I also have another mission. Phantom Renegad e! AKA, Hikaru Agata, you are
under arrest for&n bsp;causing the ten days of darkness!"
"So I caused the ten days of darkness. But how are you planning on arresting me , when you have a
broken arm, a&nbs p;broken medabot, and a broken spirit?"
"What do you mean? I can still fight just as well as you!"
"But I may be your best bet at victory right now. You can't afford to arrest me. You know it yourself."
"I... I don't need your help or your advice... I..."
"Look out!"
DC leaped forward, pushing Sakura backwards about five metres, just before a large section of the
wall smashed inwards. Chunks of steel shattered into the hallway, flying way too close to the people
standing inside. A group of Belzelgas stepped out of the hole in the wall, with their visors glowing
bright red. DC and Sakura stepped backwards, narrowly avoiding a swinging punch that smashed
into the wall next to them. ;
"Krosserdog, use the decoy hammer!"
"Windstorm, transform right ar m!"
Krosserdog charged forward, smashing his gargantuan fist into a Belzelga's face. While it toppled
backwards, Windstorm leaped over Kroswserdog's back, morphing her sword arm into Sumilidon't
classic Flexorsword part. She sliced it through the Belzelga's chest, shutting it down instantly. The
r est of the Belzelga's all dived on top of Windstorm and Krosserdog, stopping& nbsp;them dead in their
tracks.
"Don't underestimate me !" Windstorm screamed as they all flung off of her from a massive tornado.
A wayward flying Belzelga was flung straight into Arcbe etle who merely held his fist out in front of
himself. The Belzelga flew straight into the fist, crumpling to&nbs p;the ground as it shut down. Another
section of the wall exploded, revealing more Belzelga's, Blackram's, and two Mega-Emperors.
"Sumilidon, Shadow Sword!"
A yellow flash split through the air, disabling multiple medabots at once, but not stop ping them. The
Mega-Emperors roared in rage as they fired all their guns at once. "Now Sumilidon, disrupt them!"
Random missiles began exploding prematurely, hiding them behind&nb sp;a cloud of dust.
"Alright, now's our chance to run!" Miss Nae said as&nbs p;the whole group, including Sakura, ran deeper
into the saucer. Akkiana and Space Medafighter X stopped and turned around with their medabots,
facing the enemys.
"What are you guys doing?" Ikki asked, seeing them keep robattling.
"We'll&nb sp;hold them off for a while," Akkiana said cracking her knuckles. "You guys keep going and win
for us. We'll catch up if you need us."
"Wait, what if more appear?" Rintarou said as he gla nced more steel and concrete being blown out.
"You dude' s won't make it!"
"Don't you forget ;who I am," Space Medafighter X said, sparing a glance back. "I cannot be
defeated!"
"As long as I'm protecting Akkia, I'm invincible," Aokshi said as he concentrated a red energy ball
between his hands. "My soul burns, just like my red blaze!"
"Aw come on! Why do the strong guys always leave?" DC whined as he realised that the two
strongest medafighters were gone.
"Don't forget about me," Leo& nbsp;said with a hard look in his eyes. "I'm not gonna go down here."
"Hey guys, have you forgotten me already?" Banjo asked, pointing at his own chest with his thumb in
an overconfident manner. "I won't lose to these guys!"
Sakura s tared at them all with wide eyes.
< i>Incredible. They took out mass numbers of Belzelgas with ease! I've never seen anybody who could
do that in the Select Corps. I can barely handle one of them. Not to mention two Mega-Emperors!
"Hey... who are you guys anyway?" Sakura asked warily.
"Who, us?" ;DC asked with a smile. "I told you already, we're the professionals whe n it comes to
robattles!"
"We're the best of the best!" Leo said while they were running. ;
"Well since she wants to know who we are, I'll introduce mysel f." Koji said, filling himself up with
pride at someone recognising his superior qualities. "The name's Koji Karakuchi, second best
medafighter in the whole of Japan!"
"DC here! Fifth strongest from Malawi Africa! Victor's got nothing on this!"
"And I'm& nbsp;Ikki Tenryou. The third strongest medafighter in Japan, and future strongest medafighter in
the world!"
Tenryou? Don't tell me he's... wait, these guys are...
"Wait a second," S akura said as it hit her. "You're Ikki Tenryou? As in, Jyouzo Tenryou's son? You're
like a Legend back at H Q after stopping Giganko, and Metabee's our hero after stopping Baby Blu,
along with all the&nb sp;other medabots who were with him! I can't believe this! It's you guys! And-and-
and, I should have noticed before, but there's even Nae Akihabara with you! And-and, no way. Just,
I'm sorry I didn't li sten to you before! I'm sorry I didn't trust you guys before! I really am!"
"Not a problem at all, I'm used to people not trusting me," Ginkai said offhandedly. "We'll just keep
on moving."
"Just one pro blem," Miss Nae said. Everybody turned to the older authority, waiting to hear what
wisdom she had to say. "Some of us have to stop here and go back fo r safety, or at least repair the
damaged medabots." < br> "Huh?"
"Well, all my elemental series are shut down or nearly shut down. Same with Krosserdog and
Totalizer. Nutranurs e is also running low on power, Kantarot h has taken enough damage. The only
ones who can&nbs p;now fight are you guys. Koji, Zuru, DC, Leo, Ginkai, Banjo, and you Ikki."
"Hey, I can also fight!" Sakura said indignant. "I told you, I'm a cop!"
"Lady, you can barely s tand!" Metabee said as his long winded argument with the Saikachis finally
stopped.
"Yes I can!"
"You, and your medabot, are finished if you go any further," Leo said with finality. "Go back and rest
with Miss Nae. You can wait by a hospital."
< hr> Without another word, the others all marched into a separate hallway as they looked f or another
exit.
"Well then, I guess I'll escort you out seeing as you're so& nbsp;beaten down," DC said. "Alright, let's go."
"Nnngg... Fine! I'm going!"
Just before everybody left, Erika stopped and looked back over her shoulder, as if meaning to say
something but not g etting the courage for it.
“Hey Ikki,†she ;said.
“Huh?â€
â&eu ro;œDon’t die. Whenever someone is told to be careful, they die. So I’m telling you&nb sp;know, don’t die.â€
&ac irc;€œDon’t worry, Iâ€&t rade;m fine.â€
Erika ran off to catch up with everybody else while Sakura and DC were only just starting off.
DC and Sakura both walked slowly after the others leaving with Chrotojil, Sakura limping slightly
along the way. "This is only because my team is fighting outside. I'll just help them out."
"Yeah yeah sure you will," DC said sarcastically. "Just give it a rest so I can join& nbsp;the others alre..."
A low rumbling noise spread through the hallway as the ground started shaking as if from an
earthquake. A section of the roof fell on, blocking off Sakura and DC from the escaping group, and
from Ikki's group. They disappeared from view behind a curtain of steel and concrete.
"Yo! You alright back ther e?" Metabee asked.
"Yeah, it's all good," DC said from behind the walls . "I'll meet up with you later!"
"Y ou'll be okay?" Zuru asked.
"Just go!&nb sp;This time, you're the heroes! I've had my chance, n ow you go!"
The last of the group&n bsp;sprinted ahead, deeper into the saucer.
