Metabee looked at the Ro-Battle between NeoBee and Black Panther. The two youngsters and their Medabots were shaping up nicely and soon both of them will represent Japan in the next International Ro-Battle Championship. "But then again," thought Metabee," These are Ikki's grandkids we are talking about here. If their anything like their granddad, they and their Medabots will go far."
Watching the Ro-Battle some more, MetaBee stretched his arms and heard the sound of rust and the wear of old circuitry and thought," Damn I'm Old. Maybe its time to retire and hang up the laser cannon."
MetaBee jumped up from where he sat and walked towards the two Medafighters and their Medabots, when he was close enough he yelled," Hey you two! Quit playing around and finish up already! Your moms is going to freak out again if we stay out to late."
"Yes Grandpa Bee," answered the kids and their Medabots.
"I though I told you crazy kids to stop calling that! I'm not that old! Wait till i get my hands on all of you...!"
MetaBee chased the kids and their Medabots back towards their house as with the latter group laughing all the way. The kids were about to enter middle-school and they were still calling him as Grandpa Bee, despite that he forbade them from calling him that a few years earlier.
"Damn I really feel old now," said MetaBee as they enter the Tenryou household. The kids ran right into the dining area while MetaBee stoped in front of the family memorial which sat in the living room. Among the pictures there was the picture of Ikki as an old man. Metabee scanned around the room and came to his usual sight of an old picture of him and Ikki winning the International Medabot Championship for the fourth year in a row which later got them banned from entering the championship. His though always drifted to Ikki whenever he came home to the Tenryou household. He always spent some time when he arrived home to remember all the times Ikki and MetaBee fought with each other and along side each other. From winning the International Medabot Championship for four years running to finding and arresting the Rubber Robo Gang time and time again to way back when the Killobots made their first début. He even remembered the time where he was the best man for Ikki's wedding, babysitting for the first time, for being the bot who handed off one of Ikki's daughters during her wedding when Ikki was hospitalized. Both of them agreed that its time for the next generation of Medafighters and heroes but also agreed that they will be there to help if necessary. Shaking his head, he noticed that Black Beetle and Roks were huddling together and went to talk to them.
"Hey Beet! Roks! How its hanging?"
"MetaBee..." said Roks," Can't you see we are a bit busy?"
"Busy with what Roks?" said MetaBee before he heard the crying of a baby.
Black Beetle was holding the newest addition to the Tenryou family and was rocking the baby to sleep when MetaBee decided to butt in.
'Now look at what you did," said the Killobot," It took me an hour to get this little girl to sleep. And you ruined it you stupid idiot."
"Now now honey," said Roks," MetaBee didn't mean to."
"Yeah yeah," said MetaBee," Oh would you look at that, got to go! Later Beet, Roks!"
MetaBee ran towards the kitchen as he usually did when he upset Black Beetle. The Killobot being an old enemy along side with Cam, MetaBee felt it was very ironic that Cam and Black Beetle were now very good family friends. It seems like only yesterday that Cam was trying to destroy MetaBee.
Reaching the Kicthen where a few of the family members were getting dinner ready, MetaBee noticed something was amiss. The backyard was to quite and still. Walking abck into the living room he gestured for Black Beetle and Roks to come to the backyard. Noticing that this was serious, Black Beetle handed the baby back to her mother. The two Medabots and the Kilobots walked into the backyard and scanned around.
"Yo! Whoever you are we know your hinding around here," shouted MetaBee,"Why don't you come out so that we can hand your sorry metal back to ya!"
"HAHAHAHAHA," laughed a being in the bushes and jumping out," I 'the third generation Rubber Robo Gang Leader' will finally defeat you!"
"Ah great, another gang of Rubber Robo Freaks?" said MetaBee.
"Don't let your guard down MetaBee," said Roks.
"Hey you don't need to tell me what to do!" said MetaBee," I ain't that old!"
"And now for my first trick," said the Rubber Robo Gang Leader," I will end the legendary Tenryou legacy!"
"What?! And you think we will stand by let you do that!" Said Black Beetle.
And so they fought with the new Rubber Robo Gang. The new gang had the new model of the Slug Kilobots and the Butterfly Medabot to attack the Tenryou household. The three veteran robots were fighting the new gang with ease until MetaBee noticed something.
"Hey," said MetaBee," Is it me or does these Robo Freaks seems to be smarter than usual."
"Agreed," said Roks," Be on your guard."
"Look who your talking to Roks," said Black Beetle.
"Good point," said Roks.
The enemy robots were shooting at them and the house as well. MetaBee then noticed that some of the enemy robots were trying to shoot at the family. It had seem that the Rubber Robos had found a way to bypass the Medabot and the new line of Kilobot safety mechanism and were using it to try and kill the Tenryous.
"Oh man," said MetaBee as he could feel his rage rising," Not cool you robo freaks!"
MetaBee rushed into the fray and started to smash as many of the enemy robots as possible and he got closer and closer to a squad of those old Robo-Emperor Medabots. There he started to glow in the recognisable green glow of the Medaforce.
"its time," said MetaBee as he always did when he used the Medaforce," to kiss your bot goodbye!"
MetaBee fired of the Medaforce at the grow of Robo-Emperors but not before one of them managed to launched a missile at one of the kids that MetaBee was with earlier that day. After he had fired the Medaforce he then jumped in the way of the missile to safe the kids life.
"FIRE!" said the Rubber Robo Leader," Fire again! We got him on the ropes!"
The Butterfly Medabots launched a new barrage of misslies and MetaBee used his body as a shield to protect the family while Roks and Black Beetle dealt with the Rubber Robo Gang. The missiles were slowly damaging MetaBee right down to his Tinpet. With one of his arms blasted off, ripped of right at the shoulder joint, he looked at the new Rubber Robo Gang Leader and felt his rage rise again. The Medaforce was rising with him once again.
"Dude," said MetaBee," Its time to kiss your bots goodbye! Medaforce!"
MetaBee fired off his second Medaforce and then his third and his forth Medaforce in a repeating manner eliminating the Rubber Robo Gang's robots.The Rubber Robo Gang Leader was shocked that the legendary MetaBee had fired three Medaforce in rapid secession and had taken out all of his bots. Cursing, he ordered a retreat but was welcomed by a squad of police men who was already rounding up the gang.
"MetaBee!" shouted Roks and Black Beetle as they made their way to MetaBee as he collapsed under his own weight. His legs had broken from the foot and from the knee and his remaining arm was completely blacken. The Light in his eyes was slowly fading and flickering. MetaBee knew that firing off the Medaforce like that would most likely damaged his Rare Medal. He looked up into the eyes of Roks and Black Beetle.
"Heh," said MetaBee," Now that was a fight to last a while right guys?"
"Save your strength MetaBee," said Roks.
"Yeah Grandpa Bee," said one of the kids.
"Nah," said MetaBee," I'm way to tired to do that. Hey now don't cry guys."
"But..." said one of the kids.
"Hey, don't be sad," said MetaBee," I'm just going to say hi to Ikki.... Beet, Roks, Take care of them for me ok? Ikki would never let me live it down...."
"We will MetaBee..." said Roks.
"We most definitely will," said Black Beetle," You stupid idiot."
And with that MetaBee ejected his medal which was very damage. However before anyone could react the medal vanished as if it broke apart as it landed on the ground.

Luna looked with the medal of the hero she just collected. The medal while badly damage can be easily repaired with the power of magic. It will take a while but it is useful. A veteran hero like that will be useful for Equestria. Assuming that the hero named MetaBee would forgive her for taking him away from the family he had almost sacrificed himself to protect.
