Hey everybody, it's Shurikens Miner. I'd like to begin this by saying that this story has nothing to do with Mega Man Chronicles. This is just an idea I had early in 2018. Enjoy reading
ROCKMAN ACADEMIA
December 16, 200X, 10:32 PM.
The night is dark. Buildings are in ruins. A crowd gathers as two titans battle it out. All Might - A pro hero rapidly growing in popularity, fighting against one of the most powerful villains of the era: All For One. Children in homes all across Japan stay glued to their television sets in awe, as their parents look on in horror. It will be the talk of schoolyards everywhere in the morning.
Even more so for young Rock Light, age 5. The young boy sits in the family car, paralyzed in fear. His family had spent hours looking for him, but it was a fruitless endeavor. The car had become part of the battlefield. All Might had attempted to save the kid, but he was unable to do both at the same time, leaving him to focus on All For One alone.
All For One slowly approaches the car, knowing All Might's intentions. He rips open the door, dragging the child out. The young child attempts to save himself using his Quirk, but it does little than surprise the villain.
All Might screams in fury. Young Rock feels strange. He's dropped to the ground. Everything goes black.
Hosu General Hospital
He awakens in a hospital bed, his family looking over him. His father, Dr Thomas Light, his mother, Dr Noele Lalinde, his brother and sister, Blues and Roll, and even the entire Hikari side of the family. Dr Lalinde holds a chocolate cake with two large wax 6 candles on it. "Happy birthday, Rock!" She exclaims, causing him to jump a bit. Lalinde sets the cake on a tray next to the bed, and the Hikaris step to one end of the room, revealing a wrapped box. "We wanted to give you a birthday party," Dr Lalinde explains. "But we were only able to bring so much. So the actual party itself will have to wait. But we were able to get the cake, and a present for you."
The young child looks thrilled. He starts to get up to get the present, but Dr Light stops him. "You just sit there, alright? I'll go ahead and bring it over."
Rock nods silently, and Dr Light brings back the present. Almost immediately, Rock tears into the wrapping. Dr Light starts to ask him to slow down (as to not damage himself further), but Dr Lalinde stops him before he can begin.
When the present is fully unwrapped, and taken out of its box, it's revealed to be a cerulean helmet, the perfect size for the young boy. He immediately puts it on. "Thanks, dad!" he says, causing the doctor to smile. "I'm glad you like it." He pauses, as if he was going to end there, before pulling out a card from his coat pocket. "Oh yes, I forgot! A card for you, as well." He hands the card to the young boy, who reads it aloud.
"Have a happy birthday! Why?"
He opens the card, and before he can read what it says, a voice box answers for him. "Because I AM HERE! IN CARD FORM!"
The young boy erupts in laughter, but then sees that the card had something extra on the bottom. A signature from All Might!
There's a message written on it, but the handwriting isn't legible, at least to a 6 year old.
Dr. Lalinde takes the card, putting it in his purse. Rock smiles, absolutely ecstatic. "When I'm big, I wanna be just like him! He's so cool!"
His mother can only laugh, and his older brother smirks. "If anyone can do it," he begins. "It's you."
