I started this fic a couple of months ago. I have no idea when or if I'll
update. But this is one on my agenda. Being well versed in busting up robot
masters and mavericks, here's a cross-over tale that might probably go
down as my most unusual project yet. This mostly a MM fic but things will
change in later chapters.
Disclaimer: Mega Man belongs to Capcom while Ruroni Kenshin belongs to. the name escapes me, but I don't own either of them. If I did I wouldn't be saying otherwise, would I?
By the way, if you see brackets like these , that means someone is thinking.
The Ruroni Wars
Prologue
The year, 20XX. Advances in robotics have thrust mankind into the Techno Age. This would have been a golden society except that with progress comes greed and desire. A maniacal robot scientist named Dr. Wily has sought to rule the world, sowing chaos and destruction in his wake.
More than 200 years ago, a great war erupted in Japan. The Tokugawa regime was beginning to crumble. The imperialist armies clashed with the shogun's forces for control of the government. Amidst the struggle, an invincible samurai rose. His name was Kenshin Himura. Like a scythe cutting down wheat, he swept across the battlefield, slaughtering his enemies; he was soon called Hitokiri Battousai, the Manslayer. At the end of the conflict, the Tokugawa rule had fallen and a new imperial government held sway. The people, tired from fighting, were eager to return to peace but the manslayer vanished into the night. Believed to have vanished forever from history's pages..
Chapter 1: Wily's new plan
Dr. Wily wore a superior smirk on his face today. His latest weapons were under construction, and so far, only an idiot would think to find his new fortress out in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
Dr Wily: Soon my ultimate weapon shall be ready! (Unrolls a blue print) Yes. All I need are few more things and it shall be complete.
While Dr. Wily was ranting about his latest scheme, Astro Man was silently hovering by, hoping not to be noticed. It worked so far but he bumped into a bucket of loose bolts, causing it to fall with a loud....
CRASH!!!
Dr. Wily: (Angry)Astro Man! What have I told you about watching where you're going!?
Astro Man: (Whimpers) Uhh sorry Dr. Wily, but, but I was just.uh cleaning up! That's it (hastily scrapes up the bolts back into the bucket).
Dr. Wily: Well, you're just the bot I wanted to see right now,. Gather the others, I have a job for you!
Soon enough, all of Wily's robot masters have gathering in a large assembly room., talking among them.
Cut man: Don't you think we should make this room bigger?
Bubble man: Did you someone say something?
Bomb man: I can do that in no time, just point me at a wall! (holds up a bomb)
Dr Wily came in on his hovercraft pod.
Dr. Wily: Well, now that everyone's here let's get to business (Puts up a massive hologram of a large industrial complex on the wall). This is one of the smallest robotics complexes in the world. There are several supplies and components here that I will need to finish my new weapon. It's out of the way so that a certain-little-blue-wretch-who-shall-remain-nameless won't interfere. (shuts off the hologram) Now I will need 4 volunteers.
The whole assembly howls and waves their hands frantically waving in the air.
After half an hour of debating, explosions and parts flying everywhere, the volunteers were found: Grenade Man, Gyro Man , Quick Man, and Hard Man. They followed Wily to the war room for a briefing.
Dr. Wily: Excellent. Now This mission must be swift, daring! FLAWLESS!! (Gives them a holodisc) This holodisc contains the data on what you need to steal. But be quick about it.
Quick Man: Don't get your coat in a knot; we'll be back before you know it.
Gyro Man: I'll do air reconnaissance just in case Mega Man shows up.
Grenade Man: Then I'll blast him to kingdom come! Mwahahahahaahaha!!
Hard Man: Not before I pound him to gravel, you won't.
Dr. Wily: Yes, yes, very good. Now go! And remember to hurry back!
The four robots teleport away.
Dr. Wily: I just hope they do so before he shows up!
Wily then heads to his quarters, followed by several metools at his feet.
In another part of the world at a large house. The renowned Dr. Thomas Light was enjoying some much needed relaxing with his family. Auto was cooking dinner, and Roll was building an enormous card pyramid, the good doctor was settling into a game of chess with Mega Man, one of the few simple pleasures he was able to enjoy.
Dr. Light: Isn't it nice that things are quiet for a change? (Moves a rook forward)
Mega Man: Yes. Maybe Dr. Wily's given up taking over the world. (likewise)
Roll: Well, stranger things have happened. (Carefully starts the sixth tier of her pyramid)
Dr. Light: I wish. Are you sure you want to do that, Mega?
Mega Man: Why not? I've got your king in check. (has a queen adjacent to Light's king)
Dr. Light: (takes a pawn and captures Mega's queen) Not anymore, I'm afraid.
Mega Man: (Does a double take) Wha? How did that-?(notices his king is in danger of check, then moves the king back) you're not beating me this time. (smug look)
Dr. Light: moves a pawn to other side of the board, upgrading it to a queen, opposite Mega's king) .Checkmate.
Mega Man (surprised, looks at the pieces, his king is toast) Oh no, that's the third time today! How do you do it?
Dr. Light: You keep trying to take my queen, but the whole time I was after your king. Sometimes you have to bait your opponent to make a critical error. It was a good game though, but I think it was the fifth time I won. (Mega Man facefaults)
Just then an alarm went off. Roll fumbles with the cards but her pyramid crumbles.
Dr. Light: Quickly, everyone, to the lab!
At Light's lab, a large monitor flickered with various images of attack.
Dr. Light: A robotics complex is under attack! Let's see who's responsible. (Types on the key panel, the screen enlarges to show what looked like robots running in and out until one of them is identified.) Dr. Wily is behind this invasion! (Turns to Mega) Mega Man, you and Rush must get there immediately before they can escape!
Mega Man: I'm on it, doctor. Let's go, Rush!
Rush: Woof!
Rush hurries in and turns into his jet mode. Light opens the roof allowing Mega Man and Rush to fly off to the scene.
Dr. Light: Thank goodness I built that spy satellite a few weeks back. (Sniffs the air). is something burning?
In the kitchen, Auto is fumbling with a fire extinguisher while Roll and Eddie (the little red metool-like robot) hurry in with buckets of water.
Roll: Auto, weren't you watching the stove?
Auto: Yeah, but then the alarm went off and.. I think the beef stew is burnt..
Roll: ??? How can you burn stew??? (the pot is on fire)
Eddy: Could someone hurry up already? This bucket's heavy!
Yeah I know what you're asking: "where's Kenshin?" Don't fret; I've got plans for the wandering samurai in later chapters-
Kaoru: And what about me? What's gonna happen to my Kenshin???
Ravenf6: Don't worry your head off Takuni; I haven't about you and the others. Just sit back for now.
Mega Man: That's easy for you to say. It's much easier being the director.
Ravenf6: Hey, aren't you supposed to racing to the rescue?
Mega Man: Cripes! You're right!! (Leaves)
Ravenf6: (ahem) As I was saying, tune into the next chapter to see if our blue hero can stop Dr. Wily's latest scheme. And what is the madman planning to do with the most notorious manslayer ever known?
Kenshin: Oro.. I don't like the sound of that.
Ravenf6: Relax, Kenshin. I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle.
If I get the time, I'll put up chapter 2 soon. Later!
