Episode 1. Birth of a hero.
It is the age of robotics as mankind strive to create perfect machines to handle tasks, that are to great or to dangerous for them. Years have come and gone and with so many testing, hard work and engineering humanity had developed the perfect robot to help and serve mankind, but not all humans are so willing to have robots as slaves. For one man who's goal for global conquest would shake the very world at it's core.
However when all hope seems lost a hero shall arise; a champion to face off against this rising evil. A warrior who is neither man or robot but of flesh and machine: a cyborg. This is the story of the birth of one who shall be the sword and shield for humans and robots alike.
(July 10th: 2016 12:00am.)
In the city of Neotropolis where robots help mankind with everyday need however like any city it bares it's dark side. At a local national bank all seemed quiet and peaceful until...
BOOOM!
An explosion was heard from the front door of the bank as six masked figures raced outside holding large bags of stolen money, a large black van pulled up before them the side door opens revealing two more thieves. " C'mon! C'mon! Let's move!" Yelled out one of the crooks. His comrades began to put the money bags in the van when they started hearing gunfire. Many of them ducked and returned fire at the security robots. Some of the robots were destroyed while the rest took cover behind various object. With the last of the money loaded the six thieves got in and shut the door. " Gun it now!" One of the crooks said to the driver.
After shifting gears the driver bolted off with his partners and the money as the security robots kept shooting them. On top of a 20 story building not far from the bank, there stood at the edge of the building was a shadowed figure with the full moon behind him shrouding his appearance. The only noticeable things were the bright red eyes and gem on the forehead.
The figure had witnessed the robbery taking process and brought it's left arm up. Tapping a button a screen was lit revealing the face of the person. The face belong to a strong grown man,with no amount of amount of imperfections what so ever aside from his eyes on the left side of his face was a large slightly wide red scar. Going down from top of his scalp stopping at his eyebrow and going down his cheek.
The screen on his forearm had a map of the city an a red blip flicking on and off indicating the robbers are attempting to escape while the police are mobilizing to capture them. After charting the course of action he switched the map off and with a great burst of speed he raced of, leaping from building to building to catch them robbers.
Down on street level the black van was being chased by several police cars sirens flared and lights flashing as the police raced to catch them. Inside one of the ploice cars a man in his 40's wearing a brown trench coat, red hair, grey side burns, chestnut brown eyes and a dark brown mustaches was behind the wheel of his patrol car speeding to aid his fellow policemen.
[All units we have the suspects in sight, speeding through north avenue 60th street.]
[We're going need some reinforcements intel indicates that suspects are carrying RPG's, AK's and M16's. We need back up ASAP!]
Reaching over the man grabbed the radio microphone and spoke into it. " All units this is commissioner Dastun I'm enroute of the scene of the chase, back ups already on the way and so am I! You be careful these guys may target civilian drivers and bystanders."
[Ten-four on that sir.]
Putting the mic down Commissioner James Dastun and the rest of the police raced across the street all unaware that the man from before raced from the rooftops determined to get to the robbers before people are put in danger.
As the police chased the bank robbers two of the crooks opened the back doors and used their AK 47's at the police, forcing them to turn and crash into other cars or various obstacles. One of the larger crooks took out an RPG took aim and fired. The missile struck in between two of the police cars the explosion made them flip on their sides or upside down. The rest had to pull over and aid their comrade while the rest zoomed pasted them. This time the thieves fired two more missiles causing enough explosions to halt the police in their tracks. With fire keeping them at bay the crooks closed the doors and drove off. As the police had their robot partners tend to the fires the scarred man from bank scene went after the crooks from the buildings undisturbed.
Up ahead the men were celebrating their success. " OH YEAH! We scored big time boys!" Their boss exclaimed causing his men to shout and laugh at their success. " Heh, it was so easy gettin' passed security all because they had those tin cans. HAH"
" Just like taking candy from a baby."
This made them howl in laughter thinking they hit pay dirt, that is until...
Bang!
A loud noise was heard from the roof of the van, whatever landed on them left a large enough dent above them. Before anything could do anything an explosion from behind them had struck. Two of their tires were destroyed causing the van to swerve and turn. With what they can assume is luck they managed to crash into an alleyway. Opening the back doors the crooks with their AK's and M16's in hand looked around for the one who made them crash. Just when they thought they were in the clear a figure jumped down from the building in front of them, startled the crooks pointed their rifles at the figure before them.
The shadowed figure moved forward and into the light and what they saw made their blood run cold.
There stood before them was the man who witnessed their deeds, but the odd thing is he is neither man nor machine but both. clad in in robotic armor his legs were black as the abyss with red lights in an upside down 'V' at the shins armored black feet with small red lights at the top while the lining around the boots were a bright gold color. Metallic joint meeting his legs with his thighs in gold coloring with red lines his pelvic armors black with red lining. The abdomen part of his body in gold with a large red patch meeting with two large metallic silver plates where the upper part of the armor in abyssal black, the upper part of his arms where his shoulders meet in the same gold color and red lining his forearms with abyssal black gauntlets with gold lining the edges to where his black hands are. His shoulders had circular armor with bright red light at the front. And finally on his head is a helmet with black on the front and back and gold on the sides of his head where two silver circles with a red center where his ears should be and connecting with the red gem on his head is where the rest of the gold is at.
This man was neither flesh or metal but both; a cyborg. He is Neotropolis's hero and protector against those who prey on the weak, the sword and shield to humans and robots and his name is...
" Mega Man!" The boss cried out with dread and cold sweat running down his head.
The cyborg Mega Man had stopped in front of the robbers, slight scowl on his face crossed his arms and spoke with a deep authoritative voice. " That money doesn't belong to you. Hand it over and surrender peacefully or else."
" Like hell we will you freak! WASTE 'EM!" The boss and his men opened fired at Mega Man who did nothing as the bullets harmlessly bounced off his armor which thicker than tank armor. As the hail of bullets bounced from his armor many of their guns had ran out of ammo much to their dismay. Uncrossing his arms Mega Man dashed straight for them, faster than lightning the cyborg grabbed one of them and flung him over his shoulder and did a backwards heel kick one to the face. The thieves spread out and attacked at once the bigger crook grabbed a rusted pipe and tried to hit Mega Man only for him to block it and gave a quick jab in his gut and uppercut him square in the jaw.
One of them reloaded his rifle and would've fired till Mega appeared before him grabbed the barrel and pointed upward as the bullets flew into the air. Taking the rifle from his hands the cyborg slammed the butt end into the man's solar plexus and slugged him in the nose. One of the crooks charged at the cyborg knife in hand and yelling at the top of his lungs. Twirling the rifle in his hands Mega Man used it like a baseball bat knocking the man's knife out of his hand, and slamming it in his head. Another tried to catch him off guard only for Mega Man to use the rifle to block the attack and kicked his knee with a sickening crunching sound. The man fell screaming in pain as he held his broken knee.
Snapping the rifle lick a twig Mega turned his gaze and saw the others pointing their reloaded rifles at him. This time however he raised his right arm up as a large green bulb appeared from his forearm, it started to glow and a large holographic shield appeared just in time as the robbers fired their guns, only for the bullets to bounce off the shield as it protected the cyborg behind it. Mega Man using the shield to block the bullets charged at the robbers and ramming them with his shield, the cyborg began to use the shield as an offensive and defensive weapon to block the robbers attempted attacks and to slam it against their heads or bodies. Rearing his arm back Mega Man then threw his shield at them bouncing off the robbers and ricocheting from the walls and crooks and flying back to him catching like a Frisbee. Many of the robbers were laying on the ground knocked out and in pain from the flying shield.
Shutting his shield down Mega Man looked at the beaten men and let out a small smile. " Good thing I watched those Captain America movies, those moves with shield came in handy." He said to himself only to hear a clicking sound behind him, looked over his shoulder and saw the boss aiming an RPG at him. With an angry sneer the man fired the rocket launcher sending the grenade at Mega Man only for him to side step out of the rockets line of fire and hitting a near by car.
The car exploded and flames began to spew out from the ruined vehicle. Acting quickly Mega Man raised his left arm only for his hand to sink into the gauntlet and a large short barrel taking it's place, aiming for the burning car Mega Man fired a mid sized ball pellet and collided with the car dowsing the flames as extinguishing foam covered the car. Turning his sights back at the boss only to see him trying to run away. " I don't think so." With a burst of speed Mega appeared before the man and sweep kicked him. The boss landed with a groan as he felt his hands being pulled behind his back and felt cuffs clicking his hands together.
"Let go of me, you cyborg piece of shit!" Growled the man as Mega Man heaved him in the air. " This was supposed to be my big score! I was gonna be rich and famous!"
" Looks like you'll have to settle for famous, now hold still this may sting." Mega Man zapped the boss with a stun laser knocking the poor sap out. " Pleasant dreams." He said to him while dragging him to his men and cuffing them all until the police got them.
No sooner after Dastun and his forces were able to catch up with the van only for him to see the crooks all knock out, in cuffs and the money beside them. " Well I'll be damned. He got them before us." He said to himself letting a small smile loose before turning into a scowl. " Alright grab them all! And don't bother getting an ambulance!" He ordered the police bots to retrieve them robbers and the stolen money.
While the robots and his men rounded up the suspects and the money, Dastun knew he was being watched and looked up at the roof top of a building across the street. He saw Mega Man looking down at him with the moonlight behind him, the commissioner smiled and gave a salute as a thanks for stopping the robbers. Mega Man returned the salute and waved goodbye as he jumped from building to building. There before him were the beautiful lights of Neotropolis shining and flickering in the night. Mega Man stood at the edge of the building gazing over the city under his protection. He let out a sigh and looked up at the full moon. The reflection of the moon on his bright red eyes which for some reason had pain and sadness in his eyes.
" To think... It's been over three months, since the day I became Mega Man."
Three months earlier.
(April 13th: 2016 4:30pm.)
In the central part of Neotropolis a great event was about to take place, as many of the citizens gathered far and wide to witness this spectacular day, the day that full working humanoid robots becomes a reality. And the man responsible for this was one of America's top scientists Dr. Thomas Light. Amongst the viewing crowed was a young man at the age of 22 who stood at 5'6" with dark brown hair and eyes, wearing a black shirt with a " armor of God" sentence on it. Blue jeans and tennie shoes. His name was Estevan Martinez and he was visiting Neotropolis along with his family with two new members, twin baby children who were born in 2015 on a December the boy's name was Luke while his sister's name was Nevaeh. The reason why is because his mother and father happened to be old friends with Dr. Light when they were young.
As they waited for the presentation they got a surprise visit from a certain robotics expert. " Ah, thank goodness you're all here!" Turning their gaze they spotted a man in his late 40's, in a white lab coat, red pants and leather shoes. His hair was white and stretched down to his neck. He has a thick puffy white beard and mustache, two black slightly thick eyebrows and light blue eyes. This man is Dr. Light himself the friend of the family and godfather to Estevan and his sister.
" Thomas! Great to see you again."
" And it's wonderful to see you to again Jessie."
Both Light and Estevan's father greeted each other shaking hands letting out a few good laughs, one by one the rest of his family greeted their old friend until he spotted him and his sister Angel who was a lovely young girl at 16 years of age, dark brown hair going down her back, chestnut brown eyes. She wore a black shirt with the " Panic at the Disco" band logo on it, black torn jeans and heeled boots. " Ah, Estevan and Angel. My two favorite godchildren."
" Hey Dr. Light been a long time hasn't?" Estevan greeted the scientist with a smile and hand shake. " That it is, and you Angel have grown to be a fine young lady. Last time I saw you, you were just a little one."
" Thanks Doc I missed you so much." Angel said while giving her godfather a hug. Breaking it Light looked at his wrist watch and it was getting close to reveal his latest work. " Oh my look at the time! I must be off, be sure to be at the front of the crowed." He told them as he went to prepare himself.
" We will Doc, thanks!" Angel shouted at him as he disappeared into the crowed. A few minutes later Estevan and his family were at the front of the stage were Dr. Light stood in front of thousands of people from all around the states. Clearing his throat Light began to speak into the mic. " Hello and greetings everyone people of Neotropolis and others from the states it is my great pleasure to announce you all of humanities biggest goal since the end of world war 2." Dr. Light spoke to the audience.
" As you all know for years technology has made our lives easier, some for the better and some for the worse, however I believe that with hard work, time and dedication to the cause we may be able to achive greater things!" He took the microphone and moved to the large curtain behind him. " As you all know that you've seen science fiction movies, novels and video games that talk about robots being more advance than anything in the world? And that some of you have probably dreamed of robots being real than just on the big screens."
Estevan was feeling excitement and anxiety at the big reveal, just before coming to Neotropolis his parents have told him that Light had sent them copies of blueprints of his robots that were in development and couldn't wait to see them. " Now what do I think about that? Well I think it's high time we let that dream become a reality!" Light grabbed the rope hanging beside him and pulled it, the curtains moved away revealing Light's greatest work.
There stood before the audience two humanoid looking robots, the one on the right was the tallest standing 10 feet in height, with pumpkin orange coloring on his legs, forearms, chest, shoulders and the top of his head, with cyan blue eyes and dark blue pupils. On him were the colors of black and yellow markings on him his knee pads, gauntlets, front part of his armored boots biceps and abdomen were a creamy yellow color. And his jaw looked like that of a backhoe shovel upside down. Black flexible metallic skin on his thighs and pelvic area, black edging connecting where his shines and feet are with two large silver circles with red at the center, the same of his shoulders and helmet. A/N ( art/GutsMan-X-DLN-004-387773675)
The one on the left was a foot shorter than the tall one reaching to his shoulder. The robot also has the same coloring like the tall one, on it's wrists are two large scissor blades with a red bulb connecting at the two blades, two 'C' shaped tubing on the sides of the head giving the robot round ear-like appearance. On the forehead is also a scissor blade a rather bigger one then the ones on the wrists, a yellow area on the abdomen with three lines going horizontally white tips on it's armored feet and knee caps and white eyes with blue pupils. A/N ( art/CutMan-X-DLN-003-412052860?).
" As you all can see are two of my first working robots! The one on the right is Guts Man a construction robot capable of lifting things 20,000 times his size, his tools are a high powered drill that can go right through the hardest materials, even diamond can't withstand it. And the other is a pressurized jackhammer powerful enough to split a boulder in two, he has a number of tools you'd normally see at a construction site. He will be able to handle things that are to hazardous for humans or if they're shot on man-power." Dr. Light explained to the audience as he moved to the other robot.
" And the one on the left is Cut Man a logging robot his scissor blades are sharp enough and strong enough to cut through virtually anything in his way, he can fire his scissor blades from a distance even use the one on his head like a boomerang."
Estevan's eyes widened like dinner plates the two robots before him are incredible, they almost look human in appearance. Dr. Light moved up to the stage while continuing his speech. " As you can see these two are the first generation of robots, that can help mankind and hopefully lead us to a better future where humans and robots shall live in peace and harmony." Everyone began to shout and cheer as a number of claps could be heard and this day couldn't get any better but what they didn't know is an event would take place, that could change the lives of everyone. Just before Dr. Light could say anything...
BOOOM!
An explosion was set off near the stage, the cries and shouts of fear from the audience filled the air as a hover craft of some kind with a skull themed face at the fron floated in the sky, along side the craft were several helicopters that also bared the same skull appearance. The helicopters began firing at the stage as everyone ran in panic many of the security robots mobilized to counter attack the opposing invaders. Then out from the copters more robots jumped and landing on the ground these robots were dark green in color, their heads had a round helmet like those in the military use, orange-yellow eyes spikes on their shoulders and a skull logo with a purple background on their chests. The robots raised their right arms and began to fire.
Many of the people managed to get out of the line of fire while the security robots began to return fire, amidst the chaos Estevan and his family were struggling to get to safety. Explosions could be heard as the invading robots and security team had their shoot out, looking over his shoulder he could see many of the security robots getting destroyed by the invading robots. The choppers fired their missiles at the laser tanks from the Neotropolis defense forces, just as they were about to make it out a missile had struck near them.
BOOOM!
Crying out Estevan and his sister were thrown in the air and landed hard on the ground, both had blacked out upon impact. Dr. Light had to shield himself behind the wall of the staged, then he heard the roaring engines of the skull themed hover craft landing coming out of his hiding spot he see the side door opening and to his surprise he saw someone who he used to call an old friend.
The man appeared to be around Light's age, the top part of his head was bare while on the back and sides of his head had long grey hair pointing outward, a grey moustaches and eyebrows dark blue eyes. He also wears a long lab coat like Dr. Light does his shirt was white with a red neck tie, he wore light blue jeans and brown boots while his belt buckle was a metallic skull. This man is Dr. Albert W. Wily a scientist as well as former colleague and friend to Dr. Light.
Wily saw Light's expression and grinned. " Ah if it isn't my old friend, Dr. Thomas Light. Still up to your good and noble deeds I see." He said as he walked towards his former friend.
" And you Wily are still the rotten scientist I've known, tell me what exactly are you doing here?" Light sneered at his former friend for this senseless attack.
Willy chuckled and stroked his moustaches. " What am I doing here you ask? Why just to show you that your not the only one who can create a humanoid robot as well." He turned his attention at his hover craft and pointed at the door for Light to see a shadowed figure. " Behold my greatest invention! Come out Proto Man!"
The figure exited the vehicle and into the sun. The robot had a dark grey body with a wide blue coloring on the inner part of his thighs going up from where the knees are all the way to the torso which was covered in bright red armor with the same skull logo on it, his forearms and lower legs were covered in bright red armored gauntlets and boots, his helmet was also red with a white lining at the edges and across the top, on the sides of the helmet were two silver circles with a blue bulb at the center. And his eyes are covered by a long dark visor and on his neck was a long yellow scarf. This robot was Wily's greatest creation Proto Man.
Smirking Proto Man walked towards the two scientists with an aura of confidence and arrogance. Turning back to Light with an awe struck expression Wily said to him. " As you can see Proto Man is one of my strongest robots I have ever built, after all he was our first project during our collage days remember?"
Snapping out of his trance Light glared at the mad scientist and trembled with anger. " You mean your project to create a weapon of war, we were to build him as a means to help man kind!"
" And that's where you're wrong Light! With my entire robot army under my command, the world will bow before me as their new master! AH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!" Wily laughed at his former friend and grinned once more. " But in order for me to do that, I'm afraid I must have to take your new robots from your hands."
Gasping Light ran to Cut Man and Guts Man and stood firmly against the mad scientist. " No! I won't let you take them and misuse them for your selfish gain!"
Raising a brow Wily grinned evilly at his former friend's attempts. " Oh you won't will you?" Turning to Proto Man and nodded at him. Smirking Proto Man walked towards Light who stood firm even when he was outclassed he won't back down! " Move it or loose it, doc." The robot spoke in a slight deep but high voice of an arrogant man.
He grabbed the good doctor and threw him across the stage. Finally standing before the two robots Wily pulled out a control rod, and zapped both Guts Man and Cut Man. Both robot's eyes had darkened the moment they were hit by the control rod. " Now you two are my newest robots, come we must return to my base so that I can reprogram you to suit my purpose." Both robots followed Wily and Proto Man off the stage while Dr. Light can only glare helplessly as the mad man took his robots from him.
Laying on the ground Estevan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the heat of the fires around him. Groaning in pain he managed to get on his feet only to gasp in horror at what he saw before him. The entire area around him was in ruin and engulfed in flames, the security robots and along with a few unfortunate humans laid dead on the ground, amongst the dead is what made his heart stop. His mother, father, grandparents, uncles and aunt were amongst those who were caught in the cross fire. Most of them were intact, while the rest a portion of their bodies were destroyed. Tears ran down his face like a waterfall ragged shallow breaths were heard, as he trembled in dread. Many thoughts ran through his mind, many memories he had with his family from childhood all the way to adulthood. He swor he'd protect his family from anyone or anything, and now they're gone!
The mad cackling laughter of Dr. Wily broke him from his grief, turning his gaze at the mad scientist as he watched two of Light's robots moving into the skull hover craft. Now a new emotion ran through his veins; anger, hatred, rage ran out of control like a hurricane. His whole body trembled with an overwhelming amount of anger, he gripped his hand so hard blood was seeping from his fingers. There was one thing he desired now and that was REVENGE!
As soon as Guts Man and Cut man were loaded in Wily was about to follow until he heard an enraged cry from behind him. Looking behind he gawked in surprise as he saw Estevan running straight for him. The young man's eyes were filed with hate, he was shouting and roaring more like an animal than a human. As he drew in closer he pulled out a broken pipe with a sharp end intended to kill Wily for what he did to him.
Before he ever got the chance Proto Man stepped in and swatted Estevan like he was a fly, growling he charged at the robot throwing whatever punches and kicks he could manage, all the while Proto Man stood there and took them all like they were nothing. Proto Man then threw a punch of his own right into Estevan's face. The force was enough to send Estevan flying back, right into a near by gasoline fluid that was leaking from the fuel tanks.
Covered in the fluids Estevan stood up not realizing the danger he put himself in. Smirking Proto Man raised his right arm and his hand sank into his gauntlet turning it into a plasma cannon. Aiming at the human a ball of light was forming at the barrel of the cannon, looking around and all over himself he realized he won't be able to escape alive. " Sorry bub, if I were programed with emotions I'd almost feel sorry for doing this, but I'd be lying." With that Proto Man fired at the human before him and just when it had struck thee tanks...
BOOOOM!
Watching this even in horror Dr. Light had the look of fear and dread, his godson Estevan was engulfed in that explosion he barely had the time to scream before the plasma bolt hit. Turning back at the monster who had the gall to kill his godson Light could only watch as Wily and his forces left the city. Soon the city officials and fire fighters were able to get there, Light wondered around the field hoping to find any survivors. Fortunately he found Angel scratched up but alive. " Angel, Angel can you hear me?" He asked her after picking her up gently. Moaning in pain the young teen opened her eyes to see Light staring down at her. " Doc? That you?" Nodding he pulled her on her feet dusting her off. Rubbing her head in pain she looked around only to noticed something wasn't right. " Dr. Light what happened? Where's my family?"
Lowering his head with a mournful expression he slowly shook his head, Angel's eyes widened with dread she slowly turned and saw the ambulance zipping and picking body bags, and she saw her mother, father and the rest of her family in them being taken away. Her entire world shattered with this horrible reality her knees gave out and sobbed into her hands. Light kneeled next to her placing a hand on her shoulder as a means to comfort her.
" Angel I am so sorry that this had happened, if only I had known about this I would've canceled the whole thing!" Wiping her eyes she suddenly gasped in realization; her brother wasn't in those bags so where is he?
" Dr. Light did you see my brother? Do you know what happened?" She asked him hoping that he might still be alive. Light gasped as the sudden event returned to him. " Last I saw him he tried to take on Wily and his robot Proto Man, and after that he was..."
"GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Before he could finish a loud and familiar scream was heard, both Light and Angel rushed to where the sreams came from. And by the time they got there they gasped in fright and horror. Laying on the ground in a pool of blood was Estevan, what's left of him. He somehow survived the explosion but at a heavy price, most of his body was destroyed his legs were gone, his thighs were burnt from the fire. His upper body was covered with lacerations and shrapnels from the gas tanks, several degree burns in other places and what was disturbing was the inner part to where his heart and lungs are exposed. His fore arms were completely shredded and his face had both cuts and burn marks and a large scar running down his left eye, and his scalp had lost most of his hair and skin.
Both Light and Angel were shocked to see him alive, but Angel was terrified that her brother her only living relative aside from Luke and Neveah was in serious pain. Tears ran continuously as she trembled harder at the site of her brother. " Estevan. No." She spoke softly as she fell to her knees. Light quickly ran next to Estevan and examined his damaged body.
" Estevan! Can you hear me son?" Gasping in pain he barely turned his head to face him but couldn't. " It hurt! It hurts so bad doc!"
Realiztion he didn't have much time he stood up and yelled out. " HELP! SOMEONE IS ALIVE, WE NEED HELP PLEASE!" Fortunately someone heard his cries of help and rushed in to aid them. Looking back at Estevan he told him. " Just hang in there son, everything's going to be ok." Those were the final word he heard until everything went black.
After the paramedics arrived they took Light, Angel and the badly injured Estevan to the hospital they immediately took him to the O.R. All Light and Angel could do is wait and pray for his survival. Hours later Light still waited in the visitor lounge while Angel tended to her baby cousins, then footsteps broke Light from his train of thought. A young blonde haired nurse in her 20's stood before him.
" Are you Dr. Light?" She asked him. He nodded and stood from his seat. " Dr. Myers wishes to speak with you." With that she took him to the recovery room. There stood a man in his early 40's wearing the standard operating uniforms washing his hands in a nearby sink. Looking over his shoulder he quickly wiped his hands and faced the scientist. " Dr. Light." He spoke to him offering a handshake which Light returned. " Myers, I trust the operation was a success?" He asked worried about his godson.
Sighing Myers removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes. " You might want to see for yourself." Myers took Light to another part of the room, their in front of him was a large window with a light blue door next to it. After reaching the window Light slightly gasped, there before him was his godson Estevan resting in a large bed with several monitors and machinery around him. He saw that they had did their best to fix up the wound, but some of them were severe.
Like his chest what he saw was a large metallic case with glass wrapped around him in order to keep his heart and lungs safe. Fortunately they were not damaged. His arms and legs were wrapped in bandages indicating that his fore arms could not be saved and there fore had to cut them off. They did cleaned up most of his body but it was still horrible to see him like this.
Light could only frown sadly as he saw the slow but steady breathing from the mask that is pumping oxygen into him. " The moment we got him here we immediately got to work on him, the damages on his body would be enough to kill anyone unlucky to have been hit. But I'm surprised he's even alive." Dr. Myers started to explain. " We did everything we could to fix up much of the damage and internal bleeding, but some parts like his arms for instance we took them off. We had to put that seal on his torso as a means to keep the heart and lungs protected from prolonged exposure."
Light took all of the doctor's words in as he placed his hand and forehead on the glass in sorrow. Myers placed a hand on Light's shoulder. " I'm sorry we did everything we could but there's noting more we can do. And even if he does pull through it would take a miracle for him to have a normal life."
Dr. Light just stood there gazing helplessly at his godson behind the glass that separated them, he had to do something he swore to his friends that if anything were to happen to them he'd take care of their children. There's got to be a way to save him, there has to! Then a jolt of an idea struck him like lightning. 'Maybe there is a way.' " I think I have an idea on how to save him." Light spoke out catching Myer's attention. " What do you mean Light?"
" What if the only way to help Estevan is to preform cybernetic surgery on him?"
Now this really caught Myers off guard. " Cybernetic surgery? Are you crazy Thomas?!"
" It's the only way to save his life, besides there have been plenty of those surgeries before." Light spoke back.
" Yes but only with prosthetic limbs, we never done a full body one before. The risks are to high." Myers retorted. " That kind of thing is decades ahead of us, besides we don't even know what we'll use to power him if it worked out."
" I have one in mind; plasma energy." Light proclaimed to the surgeon. "But plasma energy uses is still in the theoretical stage. We don't know what will happen if we use it to full his body." Myers argued with him trying to get him see reason.
At this point Light was starting to loose his patients. " It's the only way to save him! Now you may not have notice but I am one of the few people to have developed technology that is decades ahead of us, and found a way to harness plasma energy as well!" He exclaimed catching Myers by surprise.
Dr. Light lowers his head one last time and stared at him with tears threatening to fall. " Please Myers. It's his only chance, he has to have this surgery even if I have to do it myself."
Silence had filled the air between the two as they continued to have their stare down. Finally after a minute or so Myers sighed and said. " I still say it's risky... But we'll give it a chance" This brought a smile to Dr. Light. " When should we begin?"
" As soon as possible."
Inside the O.R Estevan was seen in the middle staring at the light with a glazed over expression then he saw Light standing over him were the light blue surgeon's uniform with his gloved hands raised. " Estevan how're you feeling?" He asked him even though it was a stupid question to ask but he need to know if he was alright. Estevan took a slow but ragged breath and said. " I...I can't feel anything Doc. I can't move anything."
" Shhh, shhh it's ok son, I'm here for you." Light assured him that he would never leave his side. A nurse then brought in the anesthetic ventilator and gave Light the mask part. " Now Estevan I want you to take slow but steady breaths once I put this on, it will help put you to sleep and deal with the pain." With that Dr. Light placed the mask over the young man's mouth and did what his godfather asked. " That's it son. Slow and steady breaths." Soon Estevan's world began to darken and fell fast asleep.
Look at the others in the room with the necessary equipment at the ready. " Now then is everyone and everything here?" He asked they all nodded much to his relief. " Good then we are ready to begin."
Darkness, nothing but darkness is what Estevan could see. It felt like he was trapped n a dark void with no way out then he heard things, thing that could be hear more clearer than before. Then came a buzzing a buzzing so bad he clutched his ears tightly as a means to drown out the sound. Then a flash of light appeared before him. Feeling like it was calling him Estevan walked towards the light, as soon as he could touch it everything was engulfed in a flash of light.
Opening his eyes slowly he saw the ceiling of the recover room once again. He blinked his eyes several times, trying to figure out what happened to him. " Wha..what happened?" He asked himself when a jolt of pain raced through his head. " Ugh! Dammit" He slowly sat up and placed his hand on his head. " Why does my head hurt so..." Wait. His hand?! Suddenly realization what's on his head was his hand! But how is that possible? Eyes widen he slowly moved his hand off his head and stared at it, only to gasp slightly at what he saw.
It was his hand and yet it wasn't at the same time. The hand had the same skin color he had but at the bottom was metallic grey patches at the palm, fingers and thumb. At the wrist was a slight gasp revealing a metal rod with wire connecting to the fore arm. The fore arm itself was artificial, metal instead of flesh going all the way to his upper arm. He saw the straps that connected the prosthetic limb to his bicep, the same could be said to his right arm which was also a prosthetic limb. Seeing a small mirror on the desk next to him he slowly and carefully grabbed it and looked directly at it. Looking at the mirror he saw that the top of his scalp was healed and full of hair once more but what really caught his attention was the scar on his face and his eyes. Instead of the dark brown color he once knew his eyes were a bright red color!
" What...what the hell?!" Looking at the blanket he removed and saw the rest of his body. He legs were also the same with his arms, artificial limbs instead of flesh but what caught him off guard the most was his chest area, it was covered in a metal flexible seal meaning the skin and flesh part of the chest was replaced by the false skin. Panic was racing through his mind, his breathing was ragged and almost rapid.
Looking all over his body he slowly got off the bed and nearly tripped not used to his new legs yet. " What? What the fuck happened to me?" He then hear the door opening and saw Dr. Light who was taken by surprised and gasped loudly. Light's eyes widened at the sight of his godson now fully awake and standing on his new legs.
Snapping out of his daze he quickly went to Estevan's side with a worried look on his face. " Estevan. Are you ok?"
" Does it look like I'm ok?!" He asked him. Light moved back a bit giving him some space. Looking at his hands again his shaky breathing was heard which worried Light to see him like this. " Doc, what just happened to me? What happened to my body?"
Sighing Dr. Light sat down on a chair and started explaining. " Do you remember when Wily came during the announcement?" Estevan nodded urging him to go on.
" When he attacked your family was struck by one of the rockets from Wily's choppers, they all died upon contact. Wily and his robot Proto Man took both Cut Man and Guts Man with them then I saw you in an attempt to kill Wily. Unfortunately Proto Man intervened and kicked right into some fuel tanks and fired a plasma bolt. You were caught in the explosion and I and your sister feared the worst, but somehow you survived it."
" Th-then what happened next?" Estevan asked him as the memories began to race through him. " We rushed here in the hospital the doctors did everything they could to fix the damage done to your body, however most of them were severe so I asked them to preform cybernetic surgery on you with me leading the operation." He told his godson reaching over and grabbed a cup of water and took a few sips. " Believe me Estevan it was the only way to help you, I am deeply sorry that you have to go through this."
Estevan just stood there eyes widened as he began to recall what had transpired hours ago, meeting Dr. Light, the revealing of his robots, the attack and soldier robots, his family's death and the desire to kill the man responsible; Wily. Trembling with shock and fear Estevan clutched his head as if in pain and kneeled. This worried Dr. Light even more fearing that the surgery and the event's at central park may have traumatized him. " Estevan, Estevan listen you must calm down. The stress you're going through will most likely...gak!"
Before Light could finish Estevan suddenly grabbed him by the neck, slowly standing up with the scientist in his grasp. " You're telling me, that you made me into this?" He asked him with a cold and stressful tone. " You turned me into something similar like that bot Proto Man who nearly killed me?!" His tone raising with every minute. Light could barely say anything as his godson was chocking him, Estevan then threw Light out of the room which caused everyone in the hall to jump in surprise and fear.
Letting out a frustrated yell Estevan picked up one of the chairs and threw it across the room causing to shatter. Everyone began screaming and running as the enraged cyborg tossed his bed over it's side and kicked it to the wall causing everything either to break or fall. The alarms began to sound off as security robots and humans made their way to the recovery room.
Stopping his small rampage Estevan turned and saw the security team before him rifles aiming at him. " Hold it right there! No sudden moves!" One of the human members shouted at the cyborg. Instead Estevan dashed with such speed he never had before and grabbed one of them and flung him across the room. Estevan grabbed one of the security robots and tore it's arm off and swung it like a baseball bat at another robot.
A fight broke out between Estevan and the security team which sadly for them Estevan had won. Taking this as an advantage he ran out of the room and down the halls of the hospital ignoring the cries of Dr. Light. After a few minutes of running he found a large window and took a rather daring but risky chance. With a great force and speed he broke through the window and started falling from 30 stories high.
Many people outside heard the window breaking looked up and saw the young cyborg falling, they all started screaming fearing to see a person who they think was committing suicide. Feeling the air rushing passed him Estevan tried to think of a way to catch something or moving somewhere to break his fall but no such luck. " Oh shit!" Bracing himself he prepared for the worst as he got closer until...
Boom!
Rather than turn into a bloody stain on the ground, Estevan crashed into it and survived the collision! Dirt and dust flew everywhere as the people moved in only to see a large crater with Estevan smack dab in the middle. Estevan was completely flabbergasted by this, he just fell from a 30 story building and survived the crash. Slowly getting on his feet he could see the shocked and awed expressions of the people around him, then he suddenly remembered his current situation. Looked back up at the window he broke through and took off running before anyone could catch him.
Standing at the broken window Dr. Light watched with his jaw hanging as his godson fell and actually survived the landing.
He knew those cybernetic enhancements during the operation would help him, but he didn't realize it would make him that strong enough to survive the fall. Turning to one of the security members he said to him, " I need you to get the police here at once. We must get him back before he could hurt himself or anyone else." With that the man went to nearest phone to get the police while Light only stared out of the window. ' We must get him back there's no telling what might happen when he is in so much trauma. Estevan please be careful.'
Estevan: P.O.V
After what felt like hours of running I finally was able to get as far away from there as I could. Fortunately I was able to grab some form of clothes for myself, this patient's robe was the only thing I could grab. After what happened back at central park everything's been nothing but hell for me, I found myself near the alleyway of Neotropolis I'm sure everyone here will look at me strangely but I'll have to risk it.
Anything's better than going back there. Walking by the passing citizens who as I thought were giving me strange looks as to why am I in these robes but I ignored them and tried to figure out my current problem. ' How could he?' I thought to myself. ' How could he do this to me? Why didn't he let me die back there?' I was in so much pain my whole family save for Angel, Luke and Nevaeh are all gone taken from. And worst of all I ended up being turned into a cyborg thanks Wily and Proto Man...Wait Wily and Proto Man!
I stopped walking and began to recall what happened, it was Wily and Proto Man's doing they did this to me! They took my family and made me into a monster! My whole body trembled in anger it's not Dr. Light I should be angry at, oh no, it's Wily and Proto Man I should be angry at. They did this to me, and now they'll pay. Pay in blood! " Grrrr! Wily... Proto Man!" I growled out their names with so much hatred just saying those names was like tasting poison. I will find those two bastards and when I do I. Will. KILL. Them!
" My ball!"
A sudden cry from a little girl broke my train of thought, I turned to see a 9 year old raven haired girl running in the street to grab her ball. When I heard something which caught me off guard. My hearing was so sharp I could hear the screeching sound of metal meeting concrete, my eyes suddenly flashed and zoomed farther like I was looking through binoculars. I could see a large propane truck heading our way. One of the wheels was gone and the metal skidded on the road creating sparks. The truck swerved left and right as the driver panicked in attempts to control the vehicle.
Many of the people panicked and ran all but the girl's parents who called out to her and tried to get through the sea of panicking people. The girl was frozen with fear as she could only stare in fright as the truck was coming closer.
The memories of me loosing parents came back to me and now another family would loose someone dear to them. Gritting my teeth there's no way I'm gonna let that happen. Not on my watch! Without a moments of hesitation I dashed all the way to the girl and stood in front of her. I stood my ground ready for the truck to come, a part of me was thinking I must be crazy and I wasn't the only one many of the citizens thought I was made to think I could catch a speeding truck with my bare hands, but after what I did back at the hospital I was willing to take that chance.
With a mighty shout I caught the grill part of the truck, the force of the speed was almost enough to push me back as my feet dug into the ground leaving trenches. Grunting and growling I gave everything I got to keep the truck from moving further the girl had to be saved and I'll be damned if I'm going to let anyone so young die this day!
With my new found strength I pushed the truck to the right sending it crashing into a street light. As soon as it crashed I grabbed the girl and leaped in the air and landing back on the sidewalk. " Are you ok?" I asked her checking to see if she was hurt, fortunately she wasn't. The girl only stared at me with those big blue eys with awe and admiration.
" KIMMY!" The call of her mother and father broke her out of her trance and she ran straight into her mother's arms.
The woman immediately grabbed her little girl along with her husband crying tears of joy that their daughter was safe. I did it! I actually saved someone on this day, then I suddenly saw cables from the destroyed street light sparking wildly along with some sparks from the truck it self which started catching fire. The people ran as soon as the truck bursted into flames.
The driver saw this and started banging on the window hoping to get out. Know what I have to do I jumped in the air again and landed on the side of the truck. " Stand back!" I told the driver which he did, I grabbed the door and with all my might I ripped the door off it's hinges.
" Grab my hand!" He did so and I pulled him out of the truck and jumped out of the way before the truck exploded due to the gas fluids leaking from the tank. Fortunately I used the door to shield the driver, the girl and her parents from any debris. The fires were roaring out of control I looked around and much to my delight I saw a fire hydrant near the blazing truck.
Rushing over to it I grabbed the nozzle on the side and twisted hard enough to release a torrent of water hitting the truck. The viewing people could only watch in awe as I dosed the flames out, a couple more minutes and the fired died out. I twisted the nozzle again closing the water. Again I just saved another life maybe others from that explosion before it could get any worse.
The people gathered around all with shock and awe expression while others had smiles but most of all the driver and the parents gave me the biggest smiles they could. I smiled back and nodded at them. Then I heard something again and this time it was cracking noises, I focused my vision and saw that a monorail bridge over the street a few kilometers from me was about to collapse. With new confidence I took off leaving everyone behind all the while not noticing a patrol car saw everything I did.
End P.O.V
Back the hospital Dr. Light was sitting down on a lounge chair while Angel kept the twins busy, soon one of the police officers came up to him. " Dr. Light." He spoke to him. Light look up and saw it was commissioner James Dastun. " Yes commissioner?"
" Do you know where your godson might be going to?" He asked Light, but he shook his head. " I'm afraid not he ran out before we could even try to sedate him. I just hope he's alright."
" Don't worry yourself Doc. If he is in the city my boys will..." Just when he was about to reassure the good doctor his phone staring ringing. Pulling out from his pocket he answered the call. " Dastun here, what is it?" Light could only watch as the commissioner talked to one of his forces on the phone." What? You're saying you spotted the escaped patient?"
This caught Light's attention and leaned closer to here what was on the phone. " What?! he saved a little girl and a truck driver from an exploding gas tank?! And he's heading for the monorail now!" This completely took Dastun and Dr. Light by surprise.
He actually saved some people by using his cybernetic enhancements?! It was unbelievable! " Right we'll be over there as soon as possible." Dastun ended the call and looked over at Light.
" Looks like we found your boy Doc and already he's done something. Let's move." Both the commissioner and Light quickly made it into a police car and drove as fast as they could to reach Estevan hoping that nothing else goes wrong. At the bridge pieces of it began to fall luckily the people below had escaped in time as the large boulder sized concrete rocks fell and crushed their cars.
By the time Estevan had made it a good portion of the bridge was gone but the rail was still intact but there was nothing to support it. The sound of the monorail horn blared in the air as his binocular vision spotted it, it was a good thirty feet away from the bridge but it was closing in fast. Looking to his left he spotted a construction site there he saw a pile of steel girders strong and long enough to use to support the rail for the monorail itself to go by.
Running for the site he grabbed one of the girders and went directly under the bridge, just ten minutes before the monorail can cross. With his enhanced strength he pushed the girder underneath the rail and braced himself. Soon the monorail came and crossed over the exposed rail beam. The weight of the monorail was putting a lot of stress on Estevan but he had to keep it up no matter what.
Grunting as he held the girder the ground beneath him was cracking from the force of being pushed in order to keep the beam straight. Many of the onlookers watched as the young cyborg held his ground to keep the monorail from collapsing, soon it finally crossed over and continued on to safety. Letting out a sigh Estevan placed the girder on the ground fell on his rear in exhaustion.
Catching his second wind he stood back on his feet and dragged the girder back to the construction site. Not knowing that everyone around him were taking pictures and recording the whole thing with their phones and cameras. His hear picked up the sound of an alarm from a bank, and somehow picked the radio frequency from the police. Saying something about a bank robbery in progress and a hostage situation at the 29th south street. With the destination in mind he zoomed by everyone rushing off to stop the robbers and save more people.
Inside the police car Dastun and Light were heading for the crime scene when the commissioner picked up his mic. "All units this is commissioner Dastun I want a squadron split into teams of two, one to search for the escaped patient and the other to handle the robbery understood?"
[Roger that sir, we're already at the bank and prepared for...wait what's that?]
The commissioner and Dr. Light raised a brow in confusion. [Uh...sir you might wanna get here fast. We just spotted the patient and he's engaging the suspects as I speak.]
Now this was an eye opener for the duo. " Alright I'm on my way just hold the fort. "
[Roger that sir.]
Dastun slammed the gas pedal hard just enough to speed all the way to the bank, if Estevan is there then they need to get him back fast. Not a moment too soon they arrived at the scene, got out of the car only to gasp at the sight before them. In the bank they could see the suspects firing at the escaped cyborg who used his new enhancements to dodge and zoom by them like they were nothing.
He appeared in front of the robbers and gave an uppercut at the jaw, then did a roundhouse kick send him outside and landing on the police car, Light and Dastun could only gaze at the scene before their very eyes as Estevan single handedly took all of the suspects on his own. Soon the fight was over and the hostages were saved.
Snapping from his trance Dastun turned to one of the officers and said to him ." Well what're you waiting for? Cuff 'em all!" They immediately moved in and put the criminals in cuffs and started moving them to the cars. All the while Dr. Light moved inside the bank and saw Estevan helping untie the last hostage.
" You're gonna be ok now. It's over" His godson told the woman he untied which she brought him in a tight hug. " Oh thank you! Thank you! You saved us, all of us! I thought we done for but you showed up and rescued us. Thank you!" She exclaimed she let him go just after giving him a kiss on the cheek and moved to the policemen.
Dazed Estevan touched the spot where the woman kissed him just after Light came into view. " Ah! Dr. Light!" He exclaimed. Estevan walked up to his godfather only stopping two feet from him.
Feeling slightly guilty from earlier Estevan tried to find the right words but couldn't find any. " Look about what happened back at the hospital... I'm sorry I shouldn't have acted like that. It was..." Dr. Light merely raised his hand telling him to stop.
" I know you didn't mean to do anything back there, it's not your fault you were just frustrated, scared and confused. Clearly understandable and for that i can't fault you for your actions." He said to his godson who lowered his head in shame. " I'm sorry Doc."
" It's alright son. You're safe now."
After that Dr. Light had Dastun drive him and Estevan back to his lab after picking up Angel and the twins. On the outskirts of Neotropolis was a medium sized white house with a red rooftop and behind it was a large circular building with a white dome on top, with a stone stairway at the front of the building. And inside is where Estevan, Dr. Light, Angel and the twins along with Dastun were in the main room of the house.
After getting there Light gave Estevan some decent clothes and took the robe from him, now wearing a short sleeved white shirt and blue jeans Estevan was sitting on a couch while Dr. Light ran diagnostics and check ups on his godson making sure nothing was damaged. Finally it was all done and Light let out a sigh of relief. " Well so far nothing seems to be broken and is holding up well, I'm amazed you were able to pull off those incredible feats in such a short time." He told him while taking his gloves off and trashing them.
" I know. I could hardly believe it myself, i mean after what happened at central park I... I just couldn't let the same thing happen to those people." Estevan said while clutching his hand in a fist.
" Well speaking of which you might wanna turn the TV on. There's something on the news channel you all might want to see." Dastun told them which Angel grabbed the remote and turned the TV on at the channel Dastun told them.
On the screen they can see a man in a reporter uniform standing in front of the camera hold a microphone close to his lips. " This is Daniel Carr reporting to you live from downtown Neotropolis where just hours ago an amazing event took place here." The camera suddenly switched to a video of someone's camera recording Estevan catching the truck, pushing it aside, getting the girl to safety and putting out the fire. " As you've just right now are videos we've received from the locals who were present at the incident that took place. With me is the driver who had the personal encounter with this strange man who pushed his vehicle and rescued him from the fire."
The camera turned to the truck driver after rubbing behind his head sheepishly. " I was driving the normal speed limit in the city, which is about 25 miles trying to deliver a tank of gas to the station. The next thing I knew one of the back tires blown out on me. I tried to get the damn thing under control, but I couldn't. God I thought I was gonna run that little girl over if that man hadn't shown up and pushed the truck away. Sure he caused it to crash but it was either that or run a kid over." He explained to the news crew. " I thought my butt was gonna be barbequed if he hadn't got me out and put those fires out. Wherever he is I just want to say thanks for saving my life man."
Then the camera switched to the parents with their daughter close beside them." We just got out of the furniture store and were about to head for our car when I saw my little girl running after her ball at the street, when me and my wife saw the truck coming we thought we were gonna loose our daughter had that man not shown up and saved her. My wife and I are extremely grateful to him for saving our Kimberly."
The camera turned to the monorail's conductor. " I was just taking these people to their destination when I saw that the under part of the bridge was gone I thought we were goners had that man not shown up with a girder and held the monorail for us, I still find it hard to believe if I had not seen it with my own eyes. Still if it weren't for him everyone myself included wouldn't be alive this day."
Then the camera turned to a couple of teenagers who expressed their own thoughts on Estevan and gave high comments of his actions The camera turned back to the family. " Is there something you want to say to him Kimmy?" The girl's mother asked. The little girl asked for the microphone which the reporter gave, turned to the camera and gave a large smile. " Thank you mister Mega Man for saving me!" She chuckled while waving at the camera. Then it switched back to the driver. " 'Mega Man' a fitting name for someone like him." Then the camera turned to the passengers of the monorail all shouting. " THANK YOU FOR SUVING US MEGA MAN!" The same could be said for the bank workers and the people who also gave their praise to their hero.
All of this had left Estevan completely stunned. He never knew in a short time that he already got admirers just from saving those people. " Well I must say I'm impressed, never thought you had it in you son." Dastun congratulated him by patting him on the shoulder. " Heh, never knew my brother could all that I must say I'm proud that you saved them broheim." Angel said to her brother while the twins cooed in delight.
" Ok I saved a few people and now they're suddenly calling me Mega Man?" Estevan was really shocked and confused by the predicament. Chuckling Light put his hand on Estevan's shoulder. " A 'few?' My dear boy you saved a lot of lives this day and as such that makes you a hero in their eyes." Estevan said nothing but stared at the ground thinking of what happened today. Then an idea came to him. Looking back at Light who was putting his tools away he called out to him. " Dr. Light." The good doctor looked back at his godson. " Yes?"
" There's something I want you to do for me."
Closing his tool kit Light walked in front of Estevan. " And that would be?" With a look of determination sitting up proudly Estevan told him. " I want you to help me get back at Wily."
Eyes wide as dinner plates, Light, Dastun and Angel couldn't believe what they heard. He wants Dr. Light to make him powerful enough to go after Dr. Wily in a fit of revenge?! " Are you crazy bro?!" Angel exclaimed. " You nearly died going after him, hell you wouldn't be what you are if you hadn't..."
" If someone doesn't stop that mad man then more lives will be lost!" Estevan barked back at his sister causing her to flinch. " I have to agree with Angel on this one. I mean I helped you so you could live a normal life not..."
" I'm not exactly normal now, am I Doc?!" Estevan snarled at him. Light wanted to say something to his distraughted godson but couldn't find any. " Light if someone doesn't stop Wily more lives will be destroyed by him, who knows how much suffering he'll bring to others in his wake. He took our family that I won't forgive him for, but if someone doesn't take action... then I will." Silence filled the room, no one said or did anything even the twins sat their staring at the grown ups. Then Dr. Light sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. " Alright, I know I'm not going to like this but I will help you." This brought a grateful smile on Estevan's face.
" But if you're going to go head to head with Wily and his robots, then I will need to make you into the ultimate warrior, a warrior powerful enough not even Wily's robots will be a match for you." Dr. Light then went over to a desk opened a draw and pulled out a book. Opening it he pulled out what appeared to be a set of blueprints. " This was a little project Wily and I did in our youth, before going our separate ways." He handed them to Estevan and from he saw was some kind of battle armor. " The project was to build a robot strictly for anti terrorism and counter attack from invading enemies. To be precise it was a defensive robot to protect mankind."
Looking over the blueprints Estevan switched them around looking at the details, weaponry, status the whole nine. " So Estevan what do you say?" Light asked. Facing he smiled and asked. " Do I get to pick the color?"
Soon Dr. Light took Estevan to his lab and began working and rebuilding him into the warrior mankind needed if they are to face off against Dr. Wily. Finally after hours of working Light called the others in and started to raise the lab table up. Angel, Dastun and the twins gaped at the sight before their very eyes. " Incredible." " He's amazing." Both Angel and the commissioner said in awe while the twins cooed and waved happily. " He is the perfect mix of man and machine, the pinnacle of power and defense. And from this day forth he will be known as; Mega Man!"
Standing before them was Estevan in the new version of the armor from the blueprints. A mix of gold, red and black through out his body standing tall and proud in his new body, and like Dr. Light said he shall be known as Mega Man! Looking at his new body in the mirror he was very impressed with it better than his old one." Now this is very nice indeed." He said out loud.
" Now Mega you maybe the first cyborg of this era but your still my godson Estevan, and such it is my responsibility to take care of you, your sister and the twins from now on." Light reminded him that he may have a new body he is still the same child he knew when he was little.
Before anyone could speak the alarms in the lab went off. " What's that?"
" Something must be going on in the city I'll patch it through on the viewing screen." Dr. Light turned the monitor screen on and what they saw made their blood run cold. It was Dr. Wily and his robots attacking city hall! The mayor was in danger! " SHIT! That bastard is back! I gotta get out there fast." Dastun immediately left the building and drove back to the city as fast as he could.
" Dr. Light I gotta get out there, is there anything in here that can get me to city hall?" Mega Man asked.
" Yes in fact I do."
Outside of the building the dome began to open wide and something flew out at top speed. It was Mega Man riding what looked like to be a hover bike, it had no tires instead the front part had a light blue dome made of an unknown material, on top was a mid length barrel and the top of the bike was light blue glass shielding with oval shaped lights on the side of the bike, the back end had thrusters with a long tail end facing up. The bike itself was lean in shape meaning it was built for speed and was gold in color while the seat itself was black.
Then a small monitor screen came to life and Dr. Light was seen on it. " Now remember Mega Man this Hover Chaser will get you straight to city hall in no time, I've already put in the coordinates on your radar. The front laser is powered by plasma it has enough power to easily demolish Wily's robots, and the dome underneath is able to focus and concentrate plasma energy into a powerful laser blade, capable of slicing through anything known to man. and it has other addition weapons." Dr. Light re-explained to the cyborg.
" Understood Dr. Light I'm on my way to city hall now!" With that he ended the call and zoomed all the way to face off against Wily and hopefully the robot who did this to him; Proto Man.
At city hall everything was chaotic people ran away screaming in fear as the police and defense force fought against the robots of Dr. Wily, and to make matters worse amongst the invading robots were the two stolen ones from Dr. Light Cut Man and Guts Man were present and they've been reprogrammed to follow Wily now.
" Hahahaha! Now this is what I call a party!" Guts Man cackled in a deep manly voice, his hand sank into his arm and what looked like a high pressurized nail gun came out. Taking aim he fired a hail storm of nails at the police and defense forces, fortunately a few of the human members got behind cover, their comrades and robot allies were not so lucky.
Cut Man took the scissor blade from his head and threw it, the sharp weapon soared in the air cutting down anything in it's path. Returning to it's owner Cut Man placed back on his head. " Hehehe guess that'll teach them not to play with scissors anytime soon." Cut Man chuckled with a light but raspy like voice.
And what's even more worse Proto Man was firing at anyone be it robot or human foolish enough to try and take him on. " Heh like ducks in a shooting gallery!" He laughed then fired at one of the S.W.A.T vehicles causing them to pull back. As all of this went on Dr. Wily was seen walking towards city hall with two of his robot bodyguards.
" Hehehehe, this is perfect. With the mayor under my control, Neotropolis will bow before me, I'll have enough resources to build me an entire army and then the world WILL BE MINE!" The mad doctor Wily howled in laughter as his robots continued the attack.
Commissioner Dastun along with a few surviving members of the defense and police force kept firing at the invading robots, but no matter how many they take down they just kept coming. " Damn it all this is madness!" He shouted as he reloaded his rifle and fired more bullets at the enemy robots. " If something doesn't give soon we're all gonna be dead!" At that moment he was a on the verge of giving up until.
BOOOM!
Explosions went off again but this time it came from Wily's robots. Everyone stopped only to gap at the robot soldiers being sent into the air as missiles came from the sky and colliding with the army, bits and pieces of Wily's robots were scattered around as everyone took cover to avoid getting hit by any debris. " Where the hell did that come from?" The commissioner asked himself. " Sir! Look up there, in the sky." Looking up in the air Dastun's eyes widen in pure awe as the familiar being coming from the sky.
It was Mega Man riding his Hover Chaser descending from the sky. Looking at the monitor the screen showed him multiple targets in sight, with all of them locked on he pulled the trigger and launched several rockets at the invading robots and firing his mounting plasma gun. Many of the robots were struck by both missile and plasma bolt as the Hover Chaser zoomed by them leaving destruction in his wake.
All Wily could do is watch in shock and horror as his soldiers were getting sliced up by the laser sword from the Chaser when it reared up creating a curved blade of energy cutting down any robot unfortunate enough to be in his path. Shaking his head wildly he turned to his soldiers and shouted. " DON JUST STAND THERE YOU DOLTS! GET HIM!"
The robot soldier took aim and fired at Mega Man who dodged and barrel rolled out of the line of fire. Putting the Hover Chaser on auto pilot and jumped off diving straight into the enemy fleet. Dodging and rolling in the sky Mega Man's back and calves opened up and thrusters came out, igniting them Mega Man went down faster before they can hit him. As soon as he came close he crashed into the ground creating a shockwave big enough to send Wily's robots flying. Getting back up he raised his arms up, hands going into his gauntlet arms and two large short barrels came out. He took aim and fired a hailstorm of plasma bolts at the soldier robots.
Their numbers were dwindling rapidly as the rest of them moved in and fired at the opposing cyborg. Seeing this Mega Man dashed out of their line of fire with a speed that was so fast none of them could see him much less shoot him. Mega Man fired back at the robots destroying them in a nanosecond, stopping he punched a soldier bot so hard his fist went right through it like it was made of cardboard!
Tearing the robot's arm he slugged another one who came behind him and threw the dead on at the others. Rushing in Mega Man began to tear each and everyone of Wily's robots to pieces, his fists left dents in them, kicks hard enough to take their heads off, arms, legs, torso were ripped clean off. The surviving soldier bots brought out the heavy weapons.
Mega Man saw this and put up his holographic shield. With it ready he activated his thrusters and bolted for them with the shield in front in the formation of a battering ram. They began firing at the cyborg but the shield protected him from their weapons still moving at top speed. The moment he came in he rammed right through them causing a massive explosion of fire.
Dastun, his police forces along with anyone still around including the mayor watched in total awe and amazement of the cyborg's power. However Dr. Wily was livid at the cyborg who had the audacity to show up and destroy his soldiers! Turning to his new robots he snarled. " Cut Man! Guts Man! Get over there AND KILL THIS BASTARD NOW!"
" Yes sire Dr. Wily sir!" Both robots saluted and took off to fight the opposing cyborg. " You better be ready Proto, if those two can't stop him I want you to destroy him. Understand?!" He growled at Proto Man. " No sweat it doc, the guy maybe good. But no where near as good as I am." Proto Man replied with such arrogance thinking he could take Mega Man down easily. But he couldn't be more wrong.
After destroying the last of the soldier bots Mega Man's sensors picked up incoming objects, turning quickly he used the shield to deflect the flying scissor blade and a volley of nails. Catching his weapon both Cut Man and Guts Man stood before Mega Man weapons in hand. " I don't know who you are and frankly I don't care. Dr. Wily wants us to take care of you so we can get on with our business." Cut Man said flashing his scissor blades in the light.
" Yeah so why don't you scram and we promise we won't hurt ya, much." Guts Man taunted while replacing his hand with a high powered drill. However Mega Man glared at the former robots of his godfather and crossed his arms.
" Have it your way then bub! HERE I COME!" Guts Man ran straight for Mega Man drill raised intending to use it on his head. However Mega simply swatted the drill away causing Guts Man to tumble. Steadying himself the large robot growled and jabbing at Mega Man using his drill hand, all the cyborg did was move side to side avoiding the drill arms still crossed.
Growling in anger Guts Man tried to crush him by bring his normal hand down. But Mega caught it and flung him over his should slamming the construction bot face first in the ground. Still holding his hand Mega's hand stared glowing and data was seen flashing in his eyes and the gem on his helmet. " Hmph, now I got your powers Gutsy."
Letting him go Mega Man's right hand was then replaced with the same nail gun Guts Man used. apparently before coming to city hall Dr. Light explained to him that he now has the ability to copy the weapons and data from his enemies or any other computer he comes in contact. Looking at Cut Man he aimed his nail gun and started firing. The logging robot yelped and started running for cover behind a destroyed police car.
Taking his chance Cut Man stood up and fired one of the scissors from his wrist. Using the thrusters Mega Man tart and dashed his way to Cut Man and leaped in the air. Cut Man barely had time to react before Mega Man kicked him sending flying to a broken part of city hall. Walking up to him Mega touched his hand and copied his powers to.
Then he heard clapping coming from behind him. Looking over his shoulder his eyes narrowed at the one robot he was so eager to kill. Proto Man. Said robot was clapping and chuckling while approaching Mega Man. " My, my that was quite the show you did. Never thought there were any robots with skill like yours." Mega turned and glared hatefully at his murderer. " I'm going to enjoy fighting you my mysterious friend." He said stopping before Mega Man.
" 'Hmph! That's funny I was thinking the same thing, I myself will enjoy killing you for what you did to me." This caught Proto by surprise.
" What I did to you? Buddy I don't even know you." He said to him obviously not remembering the cyborg's face. " Oh but I know you Proto Man, after all you were the one who sent me into those gas tanks. Look at my face really hard Proto Man and tell me you don't remember the person who tried to attack Wily at central park!"
This made Proto Man gasped loudly he did look at Mega's face and suddenly saw the image of that enraged human with the broken pipe in his place. "N-no way, it...it's you! But I shot those tanks you were bathed in fire!" Proto Man exclaimed trembling at the sight of the almost dead man before him.
Even Dr. Wily was trembling his face had lost all color after looking very carefully at Meg Man's face. 'That's...that's not possible! how can he still be alive!'
Mega Man chuckled taking in the scared look of Proto Man's face with such delight. " Yes that's right Proto, I'm back from hell and I've come to drag you back with me!" He laughed with a dark tone that sent chills down Wily's spine.
" Now both you and Wily will pay for killing my family and turning me into this, you almost killed me because I was weak. But now I am reborn and now have the same powers as you do." Mega Man said to him enjoying the sheer fright of Proto Man's terror.
Shaking his head Proto got into a stance and tried to get over his problem. " Yeah? So what if you're back from hell, I'll gladly send you back there IN PIECES!" With a shout Proto Man charged at the cyborg fist raised intended to strike Mega Man down, but he ducked and sweep kicked him in the air. Mega Man jumped so high he was over Proto Man in seconds and axe kicked him back to earth.
Crashing down Proto Man's body started to spark at the joints as his warning screens flashed in his visor. Before he could do anything Mega Man landed beside him, picked him up and gave a right hook across his face. Throwing punch after punch Mega Man was taking his sweet time with Proto. He wanted to make him suffer for what he did to him, killing his family, leaving him almost for dead.
As much as he wanted to end him, he was going to let him live, just long enough for him to pick him apart in the near future. Replacing his left hand with his plasma caster the weapon began charging up and when Mega Man used his right fist to punch him he fired his caster at point blank range destroying Proto Man's front armor and skin. Wily could only yelp and fall on his butt as his oh so greatest robot landed near him.
The damage Proto Man received was a nightmare the inner part of his structure was exposed. Sparks and electricity flashed and danced all over the torso and smoke was coming from the near destroyed parts of his body. Dr. Wily then heard thumping before him, looked at saw Mega Man shadowed face as his eyes and gem glowed a horrifying red color like blood. " You...you bastard! You've ruined everything, my plans, my soldiers are destroyed thank to you!" He snarled at Mega only to cry out as the cyborg pointed his plasma caster at his face.
" Let me tell you something Wily. Whatever schemes or plans you have, whatever ideas your thinking about just know that they will all fall." Mega Man said to him. " Whenever you cause pain onto others, their cries for justice and vengeance will call to me. For every human you endanger I will be there, acting as the sword and shield for all of mankind. Let my face forever haunt you in your dreams, let my name forever echo endlessly in your ears for I, Mega Man will always be there to put a stop to your sick plans. And soon when the time comes I. will. KILL. You!" He snarled at him finishing his speech.
All Wily could do is glare hatefully at Mega Man, as a bead of sweat roll down his chin and landed on the ground. Suddenly Guts Man appeared behind Mega Man and would've crushed him had he not jumped out of the way. Cut Man came up to Proto Man's body and picked him up, Wily pulled out a remote and called his skull hovercraft. Mega Man narrowed his eyes at the retreating forms of those cowards. Before leaving Wily turned to him one last time.
" You may have won this time Mega Man but the next time we meet you won't be leaving the battle field with you LIFE!" That was the last thing he said before closing the door and taking off back to his base.
Once they were gone Mega Man only snorted and went over to Dastun offering him his hand. " You ok commissioner?" He asked him. Looking at the cyborg before him Dastun sighed and took the hand." Yeah, yeah I'm alright son." Mega pulled him on his feet and began dusting himself. " Wish I could say the same thing for my men, thanks for coming here when you did son. If you hadn't I'm not sure what might've happen this day."
" It was nothing sir. Just doing my duty." Then they heard shouts and applause coming from the public. The people who were still there recorded everything that transpired and started shouting and cheering at the hero before them and chanted his name in the air. " MEGA MAN! MEGA MAN! MEGA MAN!"
Shocked and stunned at the sudden chanting Mega Man didn't know what to do until Dastun slapped him on the back. " Hehehe. What're you waiting for son? Waved to them or something, after all everyone needs a hero these days right?" He told him with a half grin and a cigarette in his teeth. Turning back at the people Mega smiled and raised his left hand high in the air causing and eruption of shouts and cheering from the people.
Then suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and to his surprise the mayor was standing behind him. He was around 30 years of age, with light green eyes, red hair combed back with some slight grey hair in the mix. A large trimmed moustache with ends curved up, wearing a dark blue suit and white clothing and yellow bowtie. " My dear lad what you did this day was simply amazing! You not only saved me but everyone else in my city." He said to him pointing at the viewing public. " I think this calls for a press conference!"
Soon everyone in the city gathered at central park which was rebuilt hours ago prior to the attack on city hall. Mega Man along with Dr. Light, commissioner Dastun, his sister and his cousins stood before the people as the mayor gave his speech. " Citizens of Neotropolis just hours ago we had faced an attack by the infamous Dr. Willy former colleague to Dr. Light who stole his newest robots for his own sick deeds. We were attacked once again but this time his target was city hall, I thought all was lost had this young cyborg here arrived and faced off against these terrible foes." He told them while gesturing to Mega Man to step forward.
" We all know that before he became one he was just a normal man like you all and I, until facing off against Wily and his robots is what turned him into the man you now see before you." Many of the people bowed their heads in respect for their hero went through.
" But thanks to Dr. Light he had brought back from near death and because of this he had save the lives of other before Wily attacked again." Picking up a medal the mayor stood before Mega Man and continued. " And so as duty as mayor and a great honor I here by give this medal of courage, bravery and heroism for saving all of us." He placed the medal over Mega Man's neck. " From this day on Mega Man and his family are now official citizens of Neotropolis!"
This caused the whole audience to explode in joy among the people were the truck driver, Kimberly and her family and the monorail conductor who shouted and cheered for Neotropolis' new hero. " MEGA MAN! MEGA MAN! MEGA MAN!"
Chants of his new name were heard in the air as he stood proudly before them. With a large smile Mega Man raised his plasma caster in the air and fired this trigger an explosion of fireworks as several other joined the fray. The people shouted louder as planes flew in the air leaving the signature colors of Mega Man in the air. Though in the beginning things may have turned bad for him, he lost his family and was almost dead because of his foolishness. But now he has the power and he will use it as the sword and shield for humanity. He will protect the innocent from Wily and other like him in the near future and he promised his mother and father that he will take care of his sister and cousins. Because now he is a warrior, he is... MEGA MAN!
(Three months later.)
Mega Man sighed and rubbed his eyes. He recalled the events that happened to him three months ago, what started as a normal life changed dramatically for him. For months he had been battle Wily and his band of robots, stopping whatever plans he had for world dominance. As he told him before when lives are endangered he will be there to stop him from causing pain and suffering onto others. Looking back at the moon he said. " I swear to you mom, dad everyone. I swear to use these powers to not only protect Angel, Luke and Nevaeh but to protect others as well. That is my duty. As Mega Man."
BOOOM!
A sudden explosion was heard coming from a few blocks away, the sound of sirens can be heard in the air. Sighing he looked back at the moon again and smiled. " What did you always call it dad? "The never ending battle"? " With that he stood on the edge of the building turning around he spread his arms out and leaned back and fall. As he fell his Hover Chaser came in and caught him in time. Hands on the bars giving it a good reviving the thrusters burst into flames and took off to the explosion.
" What makes a man a hero? Is it the powers, the costume or gadgets? No it's none of that but the soul of the man is what into a hero. The courage and determination to stare down evil in the face when lives are at stake. The choices you make affects others in life, I once though I would be facing this evil alone but knowing that you have others by your side your never really alone. I may have lost my family but there's no going back, the best thing I can do is keep moving forward to a better future."
And done! Finally after a year of waiting I got my first ever Mega Man story up! I had planned to do this when my birthday passed and it did. When my birthday passed I immediately got to work first chance I got, everything was going good until my grandmother had died last month on March 20th Sunday 2:00 in the morning in a car accident. It completely tore me up so bad I didn't work on this chapter until next Friday. So I decided to make this in dedication to my grandmother's memory, because with great power come great responsibility! I know I can't keep hanging on to the past forever, the best thing I can do is face reality and keep moving forward with pride. I will see her again in Heaven someday when my time comes. And when it does I plan to give my stories to my two greatest brothers who also know of my pain. To Josh aka GodzillaFolower1998 and Cody aka TheGuyWhoLikesToWriteStuff when my time comes and I go to Heave I give you both my permission to take my stories and continue them in my stead.
I will work on the other stories once I get at least ten chapters up. Until then read, review, take care and spend time with your loved ones as much as you can. Later everyone!
