Megaman and Kid Icarus: The Invasion of Angel Land
Author's Note: This fanfic is a "crossover". This one involves characters from both the Megaman series and the two Kid Icarus games. If you need a timeline reference, in the case of Megaman it takes place after "Rockman and Forte" (Often labelled Megaman 9, but many will tell you why it is not), which takes place after Megaman 8 (PSX/Saturn) and V (Gameboy). In the case of the Kid Icarus characters, it takes place a couple of years after the Gameboy version, which itself comes after the NES version. I started this several years ago under a different nom de plume, back before there was an ff.net. Please tell me what you think…a couple of friends say I should continue this! Another thing, I do not use anything from Captain N here, they totally butchered both Megaman and Pit on that show!
PART 1 (The Portal)
Energy Disturbance
"Megaman. Come quickly!" Doctor Light's familiar yell immediately got Megaman running to him.
"What is it, Light?"
"Look at this monitor".
On the monitor was what appeared to be a map of the solar system, with many flashing dots near the Earth and the moon. They appeared to be moving farther from the Earth.
"These dots are being caused by energy disturbances", Light continued, "they are causing slight static in satellite communications. But that's not the worst of it".
"Looking at light shows? Or is it a meteor shower?" they turned around and saw Roll looking at them.
"No Roll. I don't think so. Here, look at this!" Light pressed a few buttons on a console, and another monitor switched on. It showed a close-up of what was causing those lights.
Many robots, who resembled angels, albeit with the faces hard to see and heavy callibre guns in place of their left forearms. Among them was a flying disk-shaped craft.
Megaman jumped back in shock.
"Wily!!!! Won't he ever give up?"
"I knew him longer than you. He was the kind of man who couldn't accept the word no, or the word impossible….or now, the word defeat."
"But what's he doing? This isn't like him"
"The sensors hint that there is some kind of huge thing - another space fortress, perhaps - but there's a distortion field around it."
All of the sudden the Wily saucer and a small group of the angels suddenly zoomed off the screen at an intense speed. And then the monitor was only showing static.
"oh no….he's done it. Project Rift."
"Project Rift?" Megaman and Roll asked in unison.
"It was something me and Wily tried a long time ago. It uses technology similar to the teleporter, but unlike the teleporter, this requires no anchor point, and can cover extreme distances. Wily could have gone 300 light years for all I know".
Another monitor activated. On the screen was a familiar face.
"This is Dr. Cossack from the Moscow institute of Robotics. Dr. Light here?"
"This is Dr. Light" replied Light.
"Something strange has happened up in the sky. A portal of some sort has opened approximately 5000 miles above lunar orbit. You watching Wily's latest movement? What's left of those robots are going through the portal. I'll keep you informed. Cossack Out".
Light looked at Megaman "I think I know why there is the portal. If that space fortress is real, it may be too big to just rift through. So some of those flying menaces created a portal. Closing this will be extremely difficult. I don't think we can intercept the fortress."
"But, what I CAN do, is take Rush and fly through, and find out what is going on."
Megaman then said goodbye to Roll and her cat Tango, and then boarded Rush, who was in his space-travel mode.
"Be Careful Megaman" shouted Roll, as they took off.
"Remember Wily is Prepared" Light shouted over the roar of the thrusters.
Within a few minutes Megaman and Rush zoomed off the Earth, and were heading through the Portal.
Raid on the Sky Palace.
A long way away, in a distant world, there was a peaceful realm known as Angel Land, which was ruled over by the Goddess Palutena. It was a true paradise. At least it was when it wasn't under attack. Twice it had been under threat, first from the Medusa, then from a demon called the Orcos.
And once again Angel Land was plunged into panic, and the Sky Palace, heavenly abode of Palutena, was once more under attack. This time, though, by a squadron of robotic angels, or "Angel-Joes", as their creator called them. And by a massive flying fortress that had many guns and several huge skulls, that almost looked as though they were grinning. And with good reason.
At the Sky Palace, the alarm bells were being run, and the emergency horns, which resemble Swiss alpine horns, were being blown.
And the leader of the defense, and of the Icarus army, elite soldiers of Angel Land, rushed to the Sky Palace. A boy, barely into his teens, who had a bow, and wings on his back (as most of the people of Angel Land do).
His name was Pit, and he had stopped both of the previous attacks. But he already knew that this was going to be a tougher battle than ever.
Inside the palace, there were many vicious snakes crawling everywhere, but they were the smallest problems faced by the defenders.
There were now a few weird things in the palace….they looked like yellow shells, and each one had a red cross on one side. They were immune to the various arrows and other weapons used. But when one got too close to one, then it's shell was lifted, and a robot underneath it would fire hot plasma.
While these "Metalls" or "Hardhats" were but a minor nuisance were they came from, here they were a definite threat. Pit ran into one, but he had a plan. His "sacred arrows" were more powerful than that used by most of the other soldiers. He had his bow drawn, and walked slowly up to a Metall. He had an arrow ready to fire. As soon as the robot lifted its shell, Pit fired. The robot started shooting sparks were the arrow hit it, and then it exploded. He then told all the nearby soldiers that those robots were not completely indestructible. He then rushed through a corridor, stopping only if a snake or a Metall was in his way.
After going up one floor and through another lengthy corridor, he saw Palutena, waiting for him.
"Pit. Thank you for coming here. We are under attack by strange new invaders. They came from far away. Pit, you must now don the Sacred Treasures once more. Get the Wings of Pegasus, the Silver Armor, and the Arrow of Light. They are in the Chamber of Sacred Power. Hurry"
"Yes Palutena. These invaders shall learn not to attack Angel Land."
"Good Luck, Pit".
But then the ground shook. Pit saw that an archway ahead was blocked.
By what looked like a robotic praying mantis on treads. It had many limbs, two of them
with claws, the rest with heavy weights. The monstrosity roared, and then a gun in its mouth started firing at Pit.
The Rush to Angel Land
Rush and Megaman emerged from the portal. Ahead of them was a strange planet, orbited by two moons. And many robots, it seemed, as they approached.
Most of these robots looked humanoid, but they had metal wings and jetpacks on their backs. And they had huge guns on their left arms. Megaman turned the afterburners to low power. He didn't want half of Dr. Wily's army suddenly chasing him. He'd fly around until he found a side of the planet that was poorly covered.
Megaman looks down at the surface of the planet as he orbited. In many ways it resembled Earth, complete with mountains, and vast oceans, and much green space, and swirling clouds. There also was what appeared to be a huge structure, on a piece of land that was extremely high off the planet's surface, floating on a rather huge cloud. But that happened to be were a good deal of the robot angels were heading.
"I think Dr. Wily's after something in that building, don't you, Rush?"
"Ruff, Ruff" barked Rush in agreement.
It was the opposite side of the planet were the duo slowly made their descent.
Megaman then activated his comlink.
"Yes Megaman. This is Dr. Light. Dr. Cossack's long range detection equipment has given us a vague view of the planet you're on. And the center of the disturbances is around a huge building. You can't miss it. But it's not Wily's space fortress though. That's a separate blip on the radar, but it's hard to see. What's more, there are three dots on one of the monitors….they are something that's giving off a unique energy signature. That's probably what Dr.Wily is after. How he knew of this world however is beyond me, unless…..AIIIEEE I think I got it."
"Yes, Dr. Light?"
"Remember the Four Crystals? And the ancient Sunstar weapon?"
"Yes! I sure do".
"The must have been built by some ancient star-faring civilization. And I think that they also must have had some records or something that Wily found".
"I see. You mean he-"
"Deciphered the records some how, and found out that they point to this planet. I happened to be able to hack into one of the few non-protected computers that Wily once had, and the only unencrypted files were copies of these alien records. Perhaps because they meant nothing to him at the time. But now, they're his key to greater power. You must stop his insane plans. Auto's Flying Lab will be bringing me and the mobile facilities somewhere nearby as soon as you secure a spot, so that we may help you. Good Luck, Megaman."
"You heard him Rush?"
"RUFF" barked Rush.
The Sky Palace came into view, and Megaman turned up the thrusters.
Just then, a loud, robotic voice blared from the distance.
"Your attention, unidentified flying craft. The airspace around Palutena's Sky Palace is now under the control of Dr. Wily. This is a restricted area. Your weapons are useless. Unauthorized intruders will be annihilated. Repeat, this airspace is now under the control of Dr. Wily. Aiding Palutena will not be tolerated. Entering without authorization will not be tolerated. Turn around NOW".
"Thankfully I'm not identified, or they'd just all rush after me" thought Megaman "I wonder who Palutena is?" his thoughts continued.
He decided to do what he normally did with any of Wily's orders. He went ahead at full speed.
"You are continuously violating Wily's airspace. You shall be eliminated" the robotic voice yelled.
A crack squadron of Bubble drones descended upon Megaman and Rush from all directions, with their plasma guns firing.
A massive dogfight ensued, with Megaman quickly gaining the uperhand. He charged up a fully charged Mega Buster shot (fired through Rush's mouth) and then fired when a line of four drones was directly in front. Pieces of wire and metal fell out of the sky.
A drone approached from behind and was not firing. Instead it seemed it was trying to ram them. Another drone appeared in front. Megaman turned Rush and the two drones crashed into each other. A group of drones was now chasing them, with open fire. They took a few hits, but nothing serious, and in the end, all of the drones were reduced to flaming scrap metal.
They then headed to the Sky Palace,
and Megaman heard a rumbling noise, and then a section of the ceiling inside collapsed.

More notes: First true "fanfic" I'm attempting, and it's a crossover. Actually, I made plans for a videogame like this, where you could play as either Pit or Megaman. I'll send what I have of the plans if you're interested!
