It is the present year, or at least in this world anyway. Breakthroughs in robotic technology have ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity. Violence here is confined to the Battle Coliseum, where robot combatants face off in spectacular duels. Originally, the tournament was supposed to make the teams compete in this colosseum. But them…
As the two ships soared, they saw destruction all across the city as robots were going haywire and wrecking all in their path.
"Hmm. Maybe we should have turned the other way." Yosuke said.
"This is exactly where the location on the scanner said but.." Hope said.
"Oh no nonono…" Dedenne said. "This wasnt supposed to happen! Ampharos had this area scouted and checked for…"
"Dedenne! You need to leave now. Its too dangerous." Ampharos said over the comm.
"But, what about the teams already down there?" Dedenne asked.
"They'll be fine. Its your safety I'm more concerned about." Ampharos said.
"Okay. I'll still follow the cameras, but.." Dedenne said as his screen changed to a helio like robot.
"We interrupt this broadcast to bring you Avi's eye-in the sky report!" the robot said, his name being avi. "Thanks Avi, It would appear that two unidentified ships have entered our worlds atmosphere. At this moment, we'll switching off our receivers so their navigation will go...kaput!"
Just as he said, the navigation went off. "Ah nuts." Tails said taking the wheel. "We gotta do crash landing now."
"Brace for impact!" Hope said as they crashed into a freeway. There, a man with a lab coat on, a skinny body and a hairstyle like an afro noticed. Hope then jumped from the freeway to him.
"That was close." Hope said. "Oh, um… excuse me, sir? Its not safe here right now."
"I can see that. What in the world is going on?" the man asked.
"I dunno, but we need to get you somewhere safe. Whats your name?"
"Dr. White. I'm just waiting for…" he began before seeing a small robot run up to him with a gray body with a blue helmet and green eyes. "Beck!"
"Professor!" Beck said.
"Wait, this body… it looks like…" Hope said.
"Me!" Megaman said as the others came up to Dr white, hope and beck.
"Wha? P-professor, that blue robot kinda looks like…" Beck began.
"I see. The long lost Megaman prototype." Dr. White said. "He's the one we based you off of, Beck."
"Wait, based him off of Mega?" Roll asked.
"Let me explain. I'm a scientist whose greatest achievements were nine unique robots with different weapons. They're called the mighty numbers. They were inspired by the creations of a once great man...Dr. Light." Dr. White said.
"Whoa." Hope said.
"Beck here is Mighty No. 9, the most recent model, based off of the original blueprints for the original Megaman." Dr. White said.
"No wonder this place seemed so familiar…." Megaman said before he heard an explosion.
"No time for anymore explanations. We need to head to my lab. Take Beck with you, I'll monitor your progress." Dr. White said.
"Got it!" Beck said saluting.
"Whaddya say Jexi? Up for a detour?" Hope asked.
"They made us crash. No way they're getting away with that." Jexi said.
"Follow me. I know the way to the lab." Beck said.
They followed beck before seeing a news bulletin.
"Once again, the world is in a state of panic. The president has issued a country wide state of emergency. This is based on reports of out of control robots in all 52 states. I'm being told we have a comment from Gregory Graham, CEO of Cherry Dynamics." a reporter said.
"He's pretty important looking, but why is he sweating?" Luffy asked.
"Maybe some people think some malfunction of CherryDyn caused the problem." Beck said.
"Testing, testing. Is this thing on? My fellow Americans, in this time of crisis we at CherryDyn would just like to say…. That this isn't our fault! Its that Dr. Blackwell, blame him!" Gregory said.
"Dr. Blackwell?" Jexi asked.
"A former partner of mine. But Graham knows he's locked up in a secure cell with no resources to pull this off." Dr. White said.
"In this time of crisis, CherryDyn is doing all we can to remedy the situation… but still, it's Blackwell's…" Gregory said before the screen shifted to the same robot from before.
"He's the jerk that made us crash!" Nami said.
"Hellooo?! Is this thing on?" Avi said.
"Avi?" Beck said.
"Wait, you know that jerk?" Chie asked.
"He's another of my Mighty Numbers. He's Mighty No. 6. Its possible he's suffering from the malfunctions as well." Dr. White said.
"Ahem. And now we go live to our eye in the sky Avi for today's Avi News traffic report. Thanks Avi, it would seem that there's an accident eastbound on, well...everywhere!" Avi said.
"Seriously, is that bot a few screws loose?" Natsu asked.
"Don't let it annoy you, Avi just enjoys doing that. Besides, its not entirely his fault." Beck said.
"Whoop! It looks like Avi's first attempt to ground the unidentified humans was a failure. Well, time for plan b… Direct assault!" Avi said as security robots marched towards them.
"Security Robots. They're malfunctioning too. No choice. You'll have to fight Beck." Dr. White said.
"You up for this?" Hope said.
"I-I'll do it!" Beck said as he fired at one of them as strange things came from it.
"What the heck? I've never seen anything like those before." Mega Man said.
"They're called Xels. They're in every robot on this world." Dr. WHite said.
Beck then dashed into the robot and absorbed it entirely.
"Huh? What did he just do, doc?" Peacock asked.
"Impossible, he took the xels and absorbed them into his body. I knew I included that, but I didn't think he'd know how to use it." Dr. White said.
"So why is it activating now?" Hope said.
"I'm not sure, but right now, you all need to get to my lab fast." Dr white said.
Hope the ran ahead as his coom beeped.
"Huh? A call? Dr… Sanda?" Hope asid picking up. "Hello? Dr. Sanda? This is Hope the Victor, is every...wait, how did you even get my…"
"No time for explanations. You need to hurry to the lab now. We're under attack." a voice on the other line said.
"Thats Sanda, but he shouldn't have gotten into your comm." Dr. White said.
"Well, it sounds like he's in trouble." Hope said.
"In trouble?! What the bleedin heck do you thinks been going on lately? Are you okay, Will?" Sanda asked.
"Oh, fine, fine, more or less. And yourself?" Dr. WHite asked.
"Less than fine… much less! These robots gone wild are Tearin the place apart! I've sealed myself in the lab, but who knows how long till they get in. Hope was it? You're the closest one to the lab, son. Think you can find a way in for your pals?"
"No worries. We find our own ways in." Rainbow grinned. Using her blade, she cut a hole in the wall as they flooded into the labs.
"My scanners going crazy… something's coming!" Beck said as a robot with a ball came crashing in.
WARNING!
"A demolition unit? How on earth did it manage to get down there? Beck! Quickly! You must stop it before it destroys the entire lab." Dr. White said.
"Understood." Beck said.
Round Digger!
The Round Digger Charged and hit the wall as it prepared for another strike.
"Hitting it enough with my Xel shots should weaken in for me to dash in and do major damage. When i do dash into it, cover me so it wont hit me while i do so." Beck said.
"Allow me!" Mega Man said. "Us Megamen have to stick together."
"Yeah!" Beck said as they both fired from thier xel and buster respective ly as as the round digger took damage and was stunned instantly.
"Cmon! Snap out of it...now!" Beck said as his arms went long and green as he fired a barrage of xels that radiated a green aura and that hit the digger as it fell to the ground and went offline.
"Whoa!" Hope said.
"Incredible, he flushed all the corrupted Xels out of the unit, purifying it. I think beck might be more unique then I thought." Dr white said.
Mission...CLEAR!
Inside the lab…
"Dr. Sanda!" Hope said being the first to run in and see him. He was a tubby looking man in a white labcoat with glasses.
"Ah. You must be Hope. My friend told me a lot about you." Sanda said.
"Friend?" Hope asked as a door opened as Reuniclus came in.
"See. He was the logical specimen to do the job." he said.
"You?!" Jexi said charging in.
"Settle down!" Sanda said.
"Its allright Sanda. The reaction is expected after the harmless experiments my guild performed on Popstar." Reuniclus said.
"I'll say, your clone of me, Despair, is still out there. But have you turned yourself around?" Hope asked.
"Turned myself around? I'm a scientist, not some mad supervillain." Reuniclus said.
"Oh." Hope said.
"Regardless, its good you and your allies are here. But where are the Mighty Numbers 1 through 8?" Sanda asked.
"They're all malfunctioning." Dr. White said.
"Oh. Hmm. But it looks like Beck and Call are the only ones not affected." Sanda said.
"Call?" Hope asked before seeing a female robot on an analysis table.
"I had to put her off line to run some tests, but she seems fine as well. I'm bringing her back up now, since her abilities will be useful as well." Sanda said pressing a remote as Call opened her eyes and stood up.
"Greetings, allies. I am Call, and I am…" Call began before seeing Roll. "Who is that? Another model of me?"
"That is Roll. She's the robot we based your design off of." Dr. White said.
"I see. Continuing my explanation, i am a all-purpose robot designed for combat as well as analysis and communications." Call said. "It is an honor to meet you."
"But Crikey! Its like every bot in this world has gone completely nuts!" Sanda said.
"You seem to use multiple languages in tandem with english, pretty unique." Robin said.
"Let's just say I travel a lot." Sanda said. "I've contacted my brother already in Japan, but the government wont send help unless we can isolate the source of the problem. It makes sense, because if their robots come here, they would be affected as well."
"But how are we going to figure out what caused this to happen?" Brook asked.
"Easy. Beck will have to track down his fellow Mighty Numbers. He can filter out enough samples so we can isolate the problem." Dr. White said.
"Great ide… wait, what?!" Beck asked. "I cant take on all eight of my siblings at once!"
"Megamans faced odds like that before, you know." Roll said.
"I've fought more Robots than i can count. I know it seems like a lot, but you can do it. We'll even come with as support." Mega Man said.
"Thanks. Then If I'm to do this, I might as well!" Beck said.
"Then lets get to work figrung out the other Mighty Number's locations, we have no time to waste!" Sanda said.
"Besides Avi, who else do we need to look for?" Hope said.
"Counting Avi, there are 7 other Mighty Numbers out there. Pyro, Cryo, Dyna, Mic, Brand, Shade and Bat. They could be anywhere though." Beck said.
"Not so." Call said. "I've already located the beacon inside Mighty No. 1: Pyrogen. He has been sighted at an oil refinery."
"A heat based robot at a refinery? Egads! Just think of what destruction he might cause in his current state!" Sanda said.
"And I based him off of Robots like Fire man and Heat man, heck, even Flame Man." Dr. White said.
"Tell us what you know about this guy, Pyrogen." Hope said.
"First off, we give them nicknames, so you can just call him Pyro. He can ignite his entire body like a match. He can even made the explosive fire inside of him explode at his command." Beck said.
"Yeesh." Hope said.
"I have to go regardless, since I have weapons weak against him." Megaman said. "But our teams have to contribute too."
"No worries. We'll all go and help." Jexi smiled.
"Count us in." Gemini said.
"Oh and dont worry about your ships. We'll fix em up in a jiffy, but for right now you can use the teleporter to get to any location the Mighty Numbers are at." Sanda said.
"Thanks. You coming too, call?" Hope asked.
"I'm afraid I am not yet suited for combat. Only communications for now." Call said.
"You can handle Pyro without Call. But I'll make sure to get her combat protocols back online when i can." Sanda said.
"We weren't going to bring her either way. After all, we can handle Pyro without her." Rainbow said as they marched.
