All right! This is my first post ever! Now, on the topic of flames and comments, you can set me on fire really. This is my first time of and I need a little constructive criticism. Disclaimer: Megaman and all parts are owned by Capcom. The story belongs to me.


Blam Another explosion rocked the foundation of the Light home. Warning sirens blared in the background as fires erupted from the computer terminals.

"X! Stop it, we're friends remember?" Rock pleaded.

"Shut up and die!" X shouted menacingly as he shot forth another plasma blast, causing Rock to roll to the side to dodge. Another explosion rippled behind him as the blast came in contact with the wall.

"Give it up Rock! He's not listening!" Blues shouted over the sirens as he shot at X.

X retaliated in kind as he blasted at Blues, who blocked it with his shield, but the blast was still enough to send him staggering backwards.

"I told you all to shut up!" X shouted as he charged up his blaster, its energy soon manifesting itself as a blue glow.

"So that's how you wanna play huh?" Blues asked as he, to, charged his blaster.

Rock seeing that Blues shield would not be able to contain a blast from X's blaster cannon, distracted X by shooting him in the back. X did not stop charging, merely turned his arm cannon on Rock.

"Hey X!" Blues called, "Think you can handle this!"

X turned his head to face Blues, while Rock noticed how violently his arm was shaking.

"Blues! Don't!" Rock shouted.

But it was too late; a near white flame erupted from Blues' blaster, engulfing X. When the flames died down, X lay on the floor, armor melted, bits of synthetic shin burned away, and Blues fell to his knees, clutching his chest.

"Blues!" Rock cried as he ran over and fell to one knee next to his brother.

"Don't worry about me" the red and gray android said, "I'm fine."

He tapped a button on the side of his helmet to activate the built in communicator. "Dr. Light, you can come in now, X is disabled." Blues forced out.

"You sound injured" Thomas Light said over the communicator, worry evident in his voice, "How much damage have you both taken?"

"Minimal" Blues replied.

Silence. "You over charged your core again, didn't you?"

"What!" He heard Roll shout over the communicator.

Blues let out a sigh. " Do not worry about it, my power levels are already regulating."

"I could fix the problem if-"

"No" Blues cut him off, already knowing what he was about to offer.

Doctor Light sighed. "Fine" he said, "I'm sending Auto down to pick up X, And Roll to inspect what damage the both of you have taken."

"She can inspect Rock, I'll be taking my leave now."

"Not so fast!" He heard a feminine young voice from behind him say. He turned around to see Roll standing in the doorway, wearing her black, red, and white dress with large black oversized buttons.

"It's been months since we last saw you! You could at least stay the night!" She said.

"Yeah!" Auto said, walking in behind her, "Plus, It's movie night!"

Blues sighed, maybe it would be a good idea to stay the night since this recent escapade.

Dr. Light sighed as he gazed upon X lying on the operating table in his main lab. He had done a thorough scan of his systems, and was depressed at what he found. He accessed his notes on his computer and made another entry.

Entry 48906

Subject: X-Strain Malfunction

It is, as I feared, he could not handle the X-Strain. During a deep scan I believe I have found the problem. It seems a robot cannot stand a sudden adjustment to free will. It also seems that the problems are not immediate. When I created X, like all robots he was given a set of protocols, first and foremost are the laws of robotics. The X-strain was made to bypass these protocols, and X was to be the first inhibitor. I had hoped that his superior thought matrix and complex algorithms in his personality subroutines would allow him to control it. This was not the case.

It seems that those protocols it was meant to bypass, cause a unique malfunction when in the right circumstances. Within the personality subroutines, the two different orders, to decide on his own via the X-strain, or to obey humans because of the protocols, seem to clash and distort the system. In short, insanity. The problem presented itself while he and Auto were assisting me in the lab.

In light of these problems, I fear I may have to go to my last resort.

-Doctor Thomas Light

Thomas sighed as he saved his notes, then looked towards a small, unremarkable red phone, covered in dust because it had never been used. That phone only connected to one specific phone. Was now really the right time to make the call? He thought.

Hesitantly, he walked over towards the phone, lifted of the receiver, and hit the speed dial. It rang three times before the other side picked up.

"Hello Thomas" an old voice on the line answered.

"Hello Albert"


CB: Oh no I didn't give you all a cliffhanger!

Feral: Yes you did.

CB: Shut up.
