Chapter 1: Kidnapped!
It was the year 20XX. Dr. Wily had not attacked in years. As if that wasn't enough, Dr. Light had developed a special microchip that prevented reprogramming of the robot within whom it was placed. He had placed these chips in all of the robots he had made: Mega Man, Roll, Rush, Eddie, Cut Man, Guts Man, Elec Man, Fire Man, Bomb Man, and Ice Man. After Mega had rescued his six brothers from Wily's possession, Dr. Light reprogrammed them back to their old selves, and they continued their work as industrial robots quite happily. Enraged by this, Wily was determined to get them back on his side.
Somehow, someday…
Despite Wily's quietness, Mega and Rush practiced their fighting skills in a state-of-the-art simulation room every other night to be ready in the case Wily would suddenly attack. But one night…
"We're doing great, Rush!" said Mega as he blasted a fake Met.
"Yep-yep, right."
Suddenly, the simulation stopped. Red lights flashed, and alarms sounded.
"What the…? What's goin' on?"
"Ruff, ruff. Wily maybe? Ruff!"
"Good thinkin', boy! Let's get 'im." Mega took off for the door.
"Yep, getem-getem." Rush followed.
Mega hit the actuator, but the only response was a groaning sound.
"Hey, it's stuck!"
He tried to pull it open but nearly tore his arms off. Then he tried blasting; sadly, the door was plasma-shielded, therefore immune from plasmic blasts.
"Mega-Mega!" Rush pointed at the bottom edge of the door.
There was yellow material that seemed to be holding the door shut.
"It looks pretty hard," Mega observed, "but I guess I can blast through it with a constant plasma beam."
And thankfully, although it took a little time, the plan worked! Mega pulled open the door and ran to the control room. Its door was also stuck fast by the yellow cement, but Mega was able to open the door and free Dr. Light.
"Thank you, Mega Man," Light said as he came out. "It appears that Wily's back in action."
"Y'think? Wonder what he's up to?"
Suddenly, there was the sound of an explosion. They ran in the direction of the noise and saw that a wall had been blown away. Mega spotted a silhouette. Wily's practice of making himself look like Einstein to look smarter helped them recognize the mad scientist instantly. He ran to their left; they rounded the corner to face a dimly-lit hall.
"Go on, you two. Quickly now!" That was Wily's voice.
"Ruff, getting away!"
"Not for long, Rush!" Mega took off down the hall toward Wily, but then… "WHOOOA!"
Thud.
"Oh," he moaned when he landed. "What happened?"
"Tripping over me doesn't help either of us, Mega."
"Sorry, Eddie."
"No big deal. Y'couldn't see me. Someone stuck me here upside-down maybe to slow you down."
At "slow you down," Mega realized something.
"Oh, great. They're farther along now. They might escape! I'll be back, Eddie."
"Okay," grumbled the upside-down walking suitcase.
How am I supposed to find—?
Another explosion answered his question. He ran to get to the source of the noise. But when he got to the location, no one was there. Also, there was a large hole in the ceiling, to which it was too high to jump.
"Ah! He got away," shouted Mega.
Then a question dawned on him: Why was Wily there in the first place? Then he notice something on the wall.
"Hey, what's that?" he asked himself.
It was some sort of dagger that wasn't bladed and had two short unsharpened prongs on the sides. It was holding up a note that had the following message:
Dear Mega Dweeb,
I hope still have your plasma cannon fully charged because I'm back! I also have reclaimed my first six Robot Masters. Please let Dr. Light know I found a loophole in his anti-me microchips.
Dr. Wily
P.S. Somebody's missing.
A/N: I'm pretty sure we know who the "somebody" is. If you have any guesses of who it is or what kind of dagger was in the wall, please write them in the reviews. Also tell me what you thought of the story. Thanks.
