Medabots: Stranger Things Have Happened

Chapter 1 written by Noble...

***Quick note: This was my first and one of my more successful stories back in 2002, but when removed all stories that were NC-17 this too was removed, and I was proud of this story, hitting well over 50 reviews so you can imagine my anger about losing all those reviews from people who said a few kind words about it. Anyway i'll upload a chapter every week and once again thanks to all those who reviewed it 2 years ago. This story is dedicated to all of you

Ikki Tenriyo 3rd place in the world championship robattling tournament. Who would have ever thought that would get his far in such a short time in his young life? A year ago he was the only boy in his town ever who didn't even own a single Medabot because his mother refused to buy him one because she said he would have to save up his allowance to get one on his own. By the time he would have saved up a decent amount of cash to buy a high priced Medabot he probably would have turned 20 and possibly would have lost his interest in Medabots altogether but that's highly unlikely in this day and age since Medabots and Robattling are all the rage in the 22nd century.

Sure had enough money then to buy a medabot but he didn't want to spend his allowance on an antique piece of junk that was just as old as he was. Who would want to own an old KBT type Medabot anyway? Maybe a loser would and Ikki wasn't that sort of person to just throw his money away just so he could actually have a Medabot.

But what happens? He mopes around all day because the Screws were giving him a hard time about it and he wonders to the river and finds a disgarded Beetle medal. He actually believed his luck turned for the better when he found that medal, maybe now that he had a medal he could persuade his mother to actually buy him a Medabot. But again all she said was, "No you'll have to wait until you saved up enough of your allowance to get one"

In a way Ikki's mother was right to say this in the first place. She just wanted her son to be more independant of himself then of her and besides as mother's know, 'good things come to those who wait'.

Sheesh no kidding lady. He just goes about his business which was strangely being wrapped around the finger of his best friend Erika school newsporter extrodinaire, who was on the trail of hottest scoop yet; that being the screws finding and running down a bunch of rockers who forces their opponents to submit one medapart if they loose. Sure enough with Erika's constant bossiness over Ikki reluctantly he followed or was dragged in either case he didn't have a choice and what happens? Samantha joins the motley gang of Rockers, Erika gets surrounded and forced into a robattle and Ikki tries to save her only to get blown back 10 feet by their insanely loud music and bad taste for rock and roll.

It all looked pretty hopeless because once again Samantha had to open her big mouth and insult Ikki further to no end about him being nothing more than a loser without a medabot. It really tore him apart and angered him even further when he couldn't do anything to save Erika and so he does the only thing he can do; he runs.

His mind was a constant blur of worry even as his young legs carried him anywhere searching for help and strangely help comes within the advice of peddler who was trying to sell chicks, "Look inside yourself and see that the only one that can help you is yourself. Take what little money you have and do the right thing"

Could he possibly do the right thing? The peddler was right he had to do what he could and with what little money he had he could possibly save Erika or loose his first ever robattle trying. After purchasing the old KBT type beetle medabot and putting it together he named it 'Metabee' and ran off once Henry had given him his Medawatch.

But when he once again faced the rockers and Samantha he found that after inserting the medal he found that his Medabot refused to come online as he watched Metabee get smashed aside and burnt to a crisp by both the Blackram and Phoenix Medabots. He put all his savings into buying that model and seeing his lifeless partner getting smashed aside like nothing more than trash even after he followed the instructions perfectly. Now he was going to loose his first ever Robattle to these meatheads and Erika was going to berate and insult him for buying such an antique style Medabot. He couldn't lose, not now...

"GET UP YOU STUPID PIECE OF JUNK!"

With that command the emerald eyes of Metabee shine to life and shakingly he's at his feet again and immediately he tears apart the Blackram like it was nothing. Samantha, the Rockers and Erika and her Medabot Brass watch on in disbelief with wide eyes as Metabee with a command from his Medafighter charges directly at Phoenix. The flying Medabot fires a huge blast of fire but quickly and effortlessly Metabee dodges side stepping to his left before charging full on and implanting his fist into the gut of Phoenix sending him flying into the other Medabot and his owners. With one small explosion and with the dust settling, the medal that was once encased within the Phoenix ejects presenting Ikki and Metabee with their first ever win in a robattle but more importantly Erika was saved...

Everything was going smoothly as the year went by. Ikki with Metabee got into his fair share of arguments and sqwabbles which brought on the first ever display of a Medafighter arguing with his Metabot. Finding out that Coach Mountain who was a complete fitness geek who hated Metabots did infact own a Medabot of his own, another news story for Erika newsreporter wannabe that was blown wide open. The search for another big scoop about the 'Legendary Medafighter that has supposedly never lost that turned out to be sweet lovable Karen, Ikki's secret crush. It was no wonder that Karen never lost a single robattle, it probably had something to do her kindness and sympathy towards others.

Then there was the whole ordeal and argument between Ikki and Metabee about Ikki trying to replace him which of course wasn't true. The only reason Ikki borrowed the spare medabot from Henry was so he could eject Metabee's medal and put it into the spare while he cleaned and completely took apart his KBT type body so he could get his partner ready for the upcoming 10th Annual citywide metabot robattle. Unfortunetly because of Metabee's stubborness and quick temper he misjudged the entire situation and left to robattle alone.

Granted that he got pretty far without his Medafighter. He even made it to the final round against Sumilidon and Koji, who was eagerly anticapting this final round with Ikki to show his superiority. But Ikki said nothing to Metabee, being equally as stubborn to let him fight on his own. Unfortunetly however a Medabot is never as strong or as powerful as he thinks without the guidance and experience of his Medafighter and that's why Metabee lost.

Thanks to a simple command from Koji, Sumilidon engaged a disrupter field which would short out any form of an electrical projectile, namely Metabee's Seeker missles which blew up right in his face causing his untimely defeat. His medal ejected and was stolen shortley after unknowingly by the Rubber Robo Gang. Distraught over losing his medal Ikki with the help of his dog, with Karen and Erika were able to locate Metabee but in the process were captured. After a quick resolve and another more heated arguement they decided to remain partners as well as friends and escaped thanks to a little distraction from the ever elusive Phantom Renegade.

Ikki with Metabee once again challenged Koji and his Sumilidon and the offical rematch robattle came to a tie as both medabots lost the use of their arms. Metabee still had his Seeker Missle attack but if he used it the missle would explode right in his face like it did last time. Unwilling to give up Ikki ordered Metabee to get a good bit of distance away from his opponent, turn away and then fire his Seeker Missles. The unexpected course of action caused the Missles to again blow up in Metabee's face thanks to Sumilidon's disrupter ray but because of it Metabee himself was launched painfully and directly at Sumilidon which gave Metabee the win as he hit his opponent square on and hard causing Koji's Medabot to eject his medal.

Then there was the time when that fat reporter accused Ikki of being the Phantom Renegade because of the bump on his forehead which he forbid Metabee to say anything about it. Well that's one problem when your Metabot doesn't take orders from you, he was just practically bursting just to let everyone know about Ikki's little episode of sleepwalking into the toilets thinking that the bath was the toilet itself and then after he slips on a bar of soap injuring himself. It was so funny I'm sure of anything that Metabee was probably up all night laughing. The reporter on the other hand was a moron and a nuisance, writing down articles about certain things and blowing them way out of proportion, especially when he printed in the newspaper that Ikki was the Phantom Renegade sheesh! In the end the lies and the arguments were decided by an offical robattle which Metabee easily won thanks to transfer of a medapart scanner that allowed him to detect the reporters chameleon type medabot and blow into Oblivion with his laser Cannons and Seeker Missle.

Ikki was having other great adventures in such a short year and his biggest suprise came to him when he actually discovered that Metabee could actually use the Medaforce because he infact owned a rare medal. The Medaforce is supposedly the ultimate attack that a Medabot with a rare medal can use. It gives the owner unlimited power and focuses it into one huge attack but once it's all over it leaves the Medabot severly exhausted and drained leaving the Medabot with nothing left to fight with. So far only 2 Medabots have been able to use Medaforce: Rokusho and Metabee and both are antique medabots, the earliest to be produced since the turn of the 22nd Century.

Now strangely enough I have actually come to believe a theory about the Medabot and his Medafighter. You see a Medabot actually has some sort of spiritual link with it's Medafighter meaning that they inturn take on the attributes and personality of their partner. Ikki has always had this sort of temper especially when it came to arguing with Metabee and the same applies for the medabot as well. Their both stubborn, tempermental and both love a good robattle...well mostly Metabee who can't get enough of giving another medabot a metabee boppin.

But of if the link between Ikki and Metabee is somewhat the same does the same apply for Erika and her sailor multi Medabot Brass? Those two never seem to be seperated for a second and both human and robot love to find out the latest news story. Although Erika is a little bossy and somewhat forcable, Brass seems to be a lot kinder and gentle.

Which brings us to the present day where Metabee in the dawn of the new morning has something on his mind and it mostly concerns his torturing Ikki with a single question.

"Yo Ikki! I've got a question for ya?" shouts his hyperactive medabot.

"Oh what is it now Metabee? Don't tell me you want to get into another robattle? We already beat the Screws twice today" he answers groaning.

"Hey man chill. Although I wouldn't mind getting medabusy on their butts, I sorta have something else to ask you"

"Alright out with it. What's the question?"

"What do you think of Erika?" he questions flatly, his emerald eyes blinking.

"Erika? What sort of question is that? Erika is just Erika. Stubborn, obnixious and willing to do anything to get the next scoop. Not to mention drag us both along for the ride"

"NO I didn't mean it like that you dolt! I mean how do you really feel about her? I find it hard to understand that a boy and a girl can just be anything more than friends, that's impossible!"

"WHAT?! Metabee have you been watching those soap opera's again?"

"WHAT?! Err...no! I was just wonderin' . No need to get your knickers in a twist!" he says grumbling.

"Why you..." Ikki growls with fire in his eyes.

"ERK! Gotta go! I think I hear a robattle going on!" Metabee then storms off leaving a cloud of smoke for Ikki to cough up and choke on.

"What's with him today?" he wonders dumbfounded asking himself.

Author's note: Hey all wassup. I've been watching Medabots for quite sometime right now and I've been dying to contribute my own little thing about it. This dear readers is a Ikki/Erika love fic because of several reasons, (you all see how jealous Erika gets when Ikki tries to act like Romeo around Karen sheesh!). Somewhere along the line there's going to be a coupling of Metabee and Brass as well...aww ain't they cute? AHHH Metabee stop it! *I'll teach you to call me cute mister! Laser Cannon!*
