Megaman Rising

The Birth of Rock

Tommy Light, at age eighteen the youngest person to build robots and androids with super human powers, was checking on his artificial Sister, Roll. He was a good and kind looking kid with blond spiky hair and blue eyes. Roll had much the same Characteristics. Tommy performed every test he could, both for a human, and for a robot. Everything seemed to be in order.

"Tommy?"

"Yeah Roll?"

"Why do you always space out when we do these routine maintenance checkups?"

"It's not important for you to know yet."

The reason Tommy spaced out during routine maintenance was fear. Tommy's first attempt at artificial life had ended in too much of a success. Blooz, Tommy's first android was given a malfunctioning core program. This gave Blooz free will, something that would kill an android over time under the current technological achievements of the age. Blooz knew he would die with the free will he was given, but he resisted when Tommy wanted to fix the problem. Eventually Blooz ran away. He thought by now that Blooz had died of the free will he was given.

How Would I know this? I am Blooz; you could also call me Protoman, That's my Battle Droid name. Anyway, this is Rock's Story.

"Tommy?"

"Yes?"

"Do you ever wish you had a brother?"

"Do you want another? I can build one if that's what you want."

"I just want a bigger family."

Tommy thought about this, then he decided to build Roll a full brother. But Tommy knew that Roll wanted to have a higher purpose than to just be his sister, and he didn't want her brother having the same desires.

I never went too far from Tommy. There was something special about him; he could make a robot have Emotions, like me and Roll. The only time before Rock's birth I showed up to Tommy was to give him notes from the shadows on how to give him free will without dying.

Days later. Tommy had acquired all the necessary parts to build a Battle Droid. He hoped that Rock would never have to use his purpose, but he knew that it might happen. It took a week to build Rock. The surprise came to Roll on her birthday. Rock had spiky black hair and green eyes, kind of like I do. I'll never forget the look of Grateful Surprise on Roll's face as she saw the gift her brother had given.
