Chapter 2
Roll ran through the parade to find a store that would have items to help Roll and her brother fight Freeze Man together. She then ran into a vacuum cleaner shop, a quaint and quiet one and desperately looked for the right one. She then found the one she wanted to borrow. "I need to borrow this one, sir." Roll said to the store clerk. The store clerk was pretty clumsy back in his day, but he started to gain some knowledge. "You mean the new 20XX Vacuumator? But it's quite expensive." "Umm, I'm borrowing it, ok? I'm not buying it." "Why aren't you buying it, though?" "Look, mister, it's to save the chaos in the parade, ok?" "Oh, that Christmas parade that I hear about in commercials on the radio is in trouble? Well, little girl, good luck out there!" "My name's Roll! I'm Rock's sister! He's fighting in the parade as well!" Roll managed to borrow it, and ran out of the store.
Meanwhile, in the parade, Rock, as Megaman, was running through the parade, trying to take on Freeze Man, and tried firing his Mega Buster at him, but Freeze Man kept dodging it. All of a sudden, he made icicles fall from the air like rain, and it popped the reindeer balloon, sending Santa Claus to the ground. Roll ran over to Santa and covered him from the attack. "Hang in there, ol' St. Nick, it's gonna be ok…" she assured him.
Back at Light Labs, Dr. Light was having a cold, making him too sick to go. Cutman and Elecman were watching the news on TV, and saw a news report for the chaos at the Christmas parade Rock and Roll were at. Cutman ran to Dr. Light and let him know that they were going to help them save the Christmas parade. Dr. Light approved of it, and they ran off. "Man, I sure hope Rock's ok!" Cutman said. "So do I!" Elecman replied. They ran by Iceman, who was teaching children how to skate at the skating rink, and Gutsman and Bombman, who were blowing up rocks so they could make sledding safe again.
Back at the parade, Rock was still confused of what Freeze Man's weakness was. Elecman yelled out to him, "Hey, Rock! Freeze Man's weakness is my ability! I'll let you borrow my weapon!" Rock heard him and ran toward him and borrowed Elecman's Thunder Bolt. He used it, and took Freeze Man down, thinking the parade was saved, but a flying saucer flew down towards them, and took Santa Claus away from Roll's arms and guard, by invading him. He also invaded Freeze Man, and took them back to somewhere in the snow. Nobody saw a Dr. Wily symbol on the saucer, believing that Dr. Wily may not have been involved. Rock then found Roll, scared. She then fainted in Rock's arms. "Oh, my God! Roll! Are you all right?" Rock was worried. He felt as if Roll died in his arms. "Roll? Roll?! Roll!" He yelled out her name about 5 times, but no response. "She isn't pulling an Iris on us, is she?" Cutman asked. "Maybe she really is dead." Elecman thought. Despite this, Roll was taken back to Light Labs.
Back at Light Labs, in the living room, Rock and Cutman were playing Nintendo Land on a Wii U which Cutman saved up his allowance for during Rock's previous battles with Dr. Wily. But little did Rock know that it was Dr. Kettle behind the ruins of Christmas. "Awesome stuff, isn't it, Rock? I preordered this set when I had the time!" Cutman was happy. Rock was depressed, and felt that Christmas would be cancelled for the first time in everyone's lives, meaning that noone would give presents to other people, and that Santa would not come, because he was held hostage by Dr. Kettle. At that moment, Dr. Light walked into the living room and looked at Rock. "Roll is OK." He paused for a moment, ate an apple, and then he said, "…she just forgot to drink from her Energy Can this morning, that's all." Rock and the Robot Masters were relieved.
Meanwhile, at Dr. Kettle's mansion laboratory in the snowy desert and mountains of Soviet Russia, where "robots make people", Santa Claus was held hostage by Dr. Kettle. "Well, well, well, we have Jolly Old St. Nicholas here today at Kettle Labs, where we build war machines, and give the homeless in Russia a place to stay, free of charge. I'd like a bunch of things for Christmas if you please." Santa was scared and felt insecure. "You can bring me as many gifts as I'd want to have, that no other child on this earth will have." Dr. Kettle then continued. "But, on one condition:" He then took out a gun and pointed it at Santa's head. "You get me the gifts I want, but if you give me the wrong ones, I'll blow your brains out as I pull the trigger on this small pistol!" "Umm, Dr. Kettle, sir?" "What?" "Christmas is a time of giving, and giving is the true meaning of-" "I don't give an Asimov for this junk. Keep your trap shut!" Thus, an argument started. "It's the time of giving!" "No, it's getting!" "It's giving! The bible says so and I believe it because I'm Catholic!" "Well, I'm Jewish!" "Jewish? Well, if you're of that religion, why don't you celebrate Hanukah? After all you get presents for 8 days!" "But those presents are things like stupid dreidels! I want Christmas gifts!" "But what the true meaning of Christmas is-" Dr. Kettle then duct taped Santa's mouth tightly. "Shut up about this fake true-meaning-of-Christmas bullshit! The true true meaning Christmas is getting!" Dr. Kettle paused for a moment, then he blurted out "OK, Fatty Claus, here's what I want!"
Dr. Kettle had started writing down his Christmas list.
