The Rise of Megaman X

By: Metal Sonic EX

Disclaimer: I own the EX Robot Masters who will be used in this fanfic. However, I do not own Megaman or Dreamwave Comics. If I did, I'd laugh in your face 'cause I'd be richer than you. But I'm not. So I won't.

Okay, this will be the first of the three-part conclusion to my Megaman comic trilogy. Now, this will be Megaman's story. By the title, you can probably figure out what's going to happen. Or is it? Read on…

Prologue

Disaster King

"I really don't know what to say. I mean, I've won plenty of awards in my lifetime, but this… I am honored to receive this award." The crowd applauded as Dr. Light shook hands with the presenter. Alan, Chelsea, Megaman, Roll, Auto, and the Sinister Six (or eight now) sat at one table, dressed in formal suits or dresses.

Dr. Light had finally received the Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to the scientific world. The announcement had comes days after the incident where Roll's circuits had overloaded and she had to be repaired. This called for a minor redesign.

She was now taller, older-looking, and more mature. She still took the housecleaning seriously, but Elecman joked that she took it more seriously now than before. Anyways, Rocky had invited Alan and Chelsea along because they'd 'become part of the family'. Little did anyone know that today would be the first step in a roller coaster of events that would lead to his demise.

Several more awards were awarded as Dr. Light converse with friends or fellow scientists. Outside of the building, a caped figure motioned to others. They nodded in unison and made their way into the building.

"I don't like this. It's too quiet." Elecman scoffed and turned to Timeman. "You're too uptight. You've got to loosen up. This is a time to celebrate!" Timeman sighed as a man walked up to the microphone. "I apologize for this interruption, but…" Rocky moved his hand towards his watch. "…will the owner of the red sedan…" Rocky sighed and pulled his hand away.

"That goes for you too!" Alan, Chelsea, and Rocky turned to Elecman who gave the thumbs-up. "Lighten up a little! Nothing's going to happen!" An explosion from the conjoining room caused several people to jump and Rocky jumped to his feet. Timeman turned to Elecman as Rocky quickly took of his tuxedo. "Looks like nothing says otherwise."

Rocky looked at Dr. Light, who nodded. He converted into Megaman and began running towards the hole in the wall. People began applauding and Megaman heard Chelsea whistle. He smirked, then found himself on the ground with a severe pain in his head. He grabbed it in pain, then lowered his hands as people stopped applauding.

The air above him shimmered several times before a robot appeared. His right arm was a slender cannon and it was outstretched, indicating that Megaman had run into it. "What the…"

Megaman looked up and saw another robot in the rafters. It jumped down and Megaman rolled out of the way. "HYAH!!" The robot smashed the ground where Megaman's head was with his feet, then rolled away and spun a pair of nunchaku around for a few seconds.

"Okay…" Something grabbed his leg and he looked down. He barely had time to react before he was flipped back onto his back. He looked up at the robot as he retracted his whip. He was dressed, amusingly enough, as Indiana Jones. He wrapped the whip around his arm as Megaman stood up.

He was then smashed up against the wall by a gust of air. He looked up and was pelted with water. He sputtered as he looked at a robot whose head was inside a glass case. He held up his hand, which was sparking, before he raised his eyebrows. Megaman darted away before the robot thrust it forward and blasted a hole in the wall with the electricity.

Suddenly, wheelchairs, the microphone stand, and basically anything else that was metallic began rising into the air as another Robot walked up. He smirked, then everything that was floating fell to the ground. Oilman, who'd landed on his head, groaned. "Ya think ya can land us a bit more softly next time?"

A ring was wrapped around Megaman's neck seconds before he was thrown into the ceiling. He landed on a table, scaring off the people sitting at it. He looked up and saw a purple robot spin the ring around before wrapping it around his body.

Megaman stood up and looked at himself. He started, then aimed his buster at it. Snickering was heard as the illusion disappeared and a robot suddenly appeared behind him. It knocked him onto his face and Megaman jumped to his feet. The seven robots surrounded him as he kept his buster on them. "Gee, this seems familiar."

Fists broke through the floor and grabbed Megaman's feet. He was pulled down a floor for a second before he broke through the floor again and landed on another table. A heavily-armored robot leapt through the floor and made the ground shake when he landed. Megaman got up as a ninth robot walked into the room.

This robot had a light orange cape, the same color as his armor. Two wings on his helmet went straight into the air and he carried a large shield. "Okay, I give. Who are you?" The newcomer frowned. "I am King, the leader of the EX robot army."

Megaman started and raised his buster. "EX robot army?" King nodded. "Yes. An army of highly-advanced robots. Please forgive my units. They were not supposed to cause a disturbance like this." Fireman stood up and cracked his knuckles. "Somehow, I doubt that."

King kept his frowning look as he scanned the room. "I assure you, all we were here to do was recruit you, Megaman." Megaman slightly lowered his buster. "Really? Dare I ask why?" King lowered his shield. "We, the robots in the EX army. Carry the same ideal. A utopia were robots rule over the humans."

Megaman immediately raised his buster again. "Really?" King pondered his situation for a second. "I see… You wish not to join us?" Megaman snorted. "Please! Humans and robots can coexist. There's no reason fro them not to." King sighed. "Robots are vastly superior to humans in every aspect. If you will not join us, then you will die."

Megaman immediately shot at King, who brought up the shield and fired a countering laser into his neck. Megaman grabbed the wound as King dashed over and knocked him around with the shield.

King threw his arms behind him and began firing X-shaped lasers at Megaman, who was pelted with every one. He then was knocked into the air by the shield. King dismissed the shield and jumped into the air. He summoned an axe and swung down. It was in that instant that the first stone was cast.

Megaman fell to the ground in two separate pieces, causing Chelsea to squeal in horror and made the Sinister Eight gape. Megaman's optical sensors were fizzing on and off as King walked over to him and looked down at the upper half.

"What do you want?!" King turned to Dr. Light, who's face was red with anger. "A challenge. If this is what legends are made of…" He motioned to Megaman's top half with the axe. "…then I must be a god. Repair him. I will return at a later date and when I do, I want him to put up a fight. Until then…"

King turned and left the room. The EX Robot Masters also went to leave. Megaman laid his head back due to his lack of energy. As the heavily-armored Robot Master walked by him, he paused and examined him. He then smirked evilly, raised his foot, and smashed it into Megaman's face, disabling him.

Next time: Megaman takes on the first of the EX Robot Masters.
