Era Erased
At last, the second chapter for this fic. Are you rea- who really cares 'bout that? Here it is anyway…
I noticed few grammar and spelling errors in last chapter. I would be very happy if people would tell me if there is some this time too, so I can make the future chapters better.
Doctor Light was shocked about what Bass told to him. Zero… Made using plans Bass stole from Dr. Light as a base. That meant Wily had also created a perfect android, which could do anything it wanted, because of its free will. No the Three Laws of Robotics, limitations… No limit for intelligence. Nor power.
"The decision to seal X away for thirty years wasn't made for nothing. X, or any robot made with those schematics had an incredible amount power, and with free will they could easily use their skills for doing wrong. The capsule that would be sealed when X is completed contained a moral test program, which simulated different, morally difficult situations. If X would clear every situation perfectly, which meant not hurting anyone physically or mentally, capsule would release its locks and it could be opened. Unfortunately, the waking program seemed to have little problems; If X would be a complete failure, "a rotten egg" so to say, and he just would want to harm humans, he could hack the waking program to activate his body. His mind, of course was active all the time. Also, it might be hard for X to adjust to the world after living life like three decades back, because technology and culture would be exactly like when X is sealed. You know, 30 years to the future suddenly? No way. That is why X must not remember anything about the simulation. I have been pondering if I could leave some kind of memory pack or a hologram record about who he is."
Bass stared at the screen. "So the reason Zero acts how he acts is that he didn't have a test period?" "Probably. But I think Wily meant him to be so destructive and blood-hungry." a voice from the doorway said. "What makes you think so, Duo?" Rock questioned the big robot. "I had a vision. In it someone in a white lab coat laughed manically just before something red ripped his head off. That laugh wasn't just for being mad. It was laugh from someone that had succeeded in something great. Then the red left. Suddenly there was a battlefield. The red being stood there, staring you, Mega Man. You were there few seconds and then, suddenly, the red being attacked you. I saw a green flash, and you were nowhere to be seen. The red being looked up and jumped. Another green flash and I saw your body falling down in little pieces. Then the vision faded, and I decided to come here and warn you." Duo finished his story.
"So you mean that Zero was supposed to kill Wily and his servants?" Rock asked.
"I can't really imagine Wily wanting to be killed by his own invention." Bass answered to him. "He did not. He had some kind of device next to him, and when the door of Zero's capsule opened, he lifted a protection glass over a big red button away.
Then it happened. That monster sped across the room in a blink of an eye and grabbed Search Man, a sniper Robot Master Wily had completed few weeks ago. Zero then throw him across the room into another new Robot Master called Gyro Man, a helicopter freak. Wily then pushed that big red button, and Zero fall to his knees, a stylized "W" blinking inside his control chip crystal. It seemed that he was in great pain; he screamed and slammed the ground with his fists. He then raised his arm and transformed it into a buster. This is where I decided to join the game. But I was too late. Zero fired the device next Wily, and its front panel exploded. But Wily wasn't dead, yet. Spout Man grabbed him and took him to other side of the room. But now Zero was up again."
"Well, anyway, then I tried attacking him. But no. He slammed my charged shot away with his right hand and then took my rapid fire head on. And suddenly he was right behind me, and he kicked me to ground. Before I could stand up he blasted me to wall behind me with a buster shot. Then the Robot Masters tried to attack him. Well, it took him 7.67 seconds to finish them all off, according to my internal clock. Then he turned his eyes to Wily. Suddenly he stood next to mad scientist. Then it happened. He tore Wily into pieces and blasted his remains to another dimension."
"Tremble came to help me, and we fused together. That didn't really help. After I launched one fully charged shot, I realized that my left wing was cut off. Before I had even thought starting my repair program, my right wing was cut off, too, and my fusion with Tremble ended. Rest of the story you already heard." Bass sighed hard.
"It will be coming after you, Mega Man. But, we're lucky, because Wily didn't know the location of your lab, doc. That means that Zero can't teleport straight here."
"You're wrong."
"What do you mean, Father?" Roll had a requesting tone in her voice.
"Zero, like X, can't teleport anywhere. Their hard drives, emotional centers and fusion chambers are bigger than yours, and I couldn't find any place to fit navigation systems and coordinate banks. And I think that even Wily hasn't tried something that risky, because a messed up transport could blow a robot to pieces. They still do have their material converters which means that they can teleport if someone navigates them from a remote computer. They also can track up someone by just simply seeing them beam away. And because of that, Zero is probably dashing to this point every second we talk." Dr. Light didn't look very happy. "But how come could X or Zero track the location of the transport just by seeing someone beam away?" Now it was Bass' time to be curious. "Well, when you use the BTP-"Beam TransPort"- your whole body is converted to data. By simply converting the light that beam sends to a coordinate data, Zero already has the location of this base."
Everyone remained silent.
651D2C841F5-DD5W15F12F56. Only thing in Zero's mind.
Well this really did take its time, right? Well, you can freely blame me.
I'd love to hear what you think about this story, and it would also inspire me to write faster. Yes, that was a disguised "PLZ R&R". Annoying, right?
Well, 'til the next time!
