Now this is the Part of the Story where I introduce the Rest of the Newcomers. The one we're focusing on has an inadequate name, so I've cooked up a proper name for the guy based on the guy who changed Nintendo's future forever.

Chapter 10: Man's Best Friend

Day Thirty of the New World

Fifty-Nine Days until the Great Departure

/Gunpei/

I love to Roam.

My master and I would Always Roam.

When Shooting Ducks, he proved to be a lousy shot.

I was always there to laugh along.

Especially when he doesn't want me too.

He got a duck to keep as a pet for my punishment.

One day, something curious peaked my curiosity and Master's.

We went outside as usual, master let me roam about while he did his morning stretches.

It was then that I saw something peculiar in our neighborhood.

It was a parade of Go-Kart Tracks and battlefields.

And they were headed to a midair stadium.

Shrinking all the way!

I nudged my master and pointed him towards the parade.

"All those Go-Kart Tracks, Must be because Mario lost his match with Link recently..."

Desperate to get him to join me, I ran off to chase after the parade, with master crying my name in vain.

"Gunpei! Gunpei! What's going on!" He could never understand me, but I understand him.

He wants me to come back to his side when now just isn't the time.

I just know that right now isn't the time to go home.

He ran off to get me as his duck was not too far behind me.

As much as I love a good chase, I just knew where my path must lead.

I bumped into a guy in black. He looked rather peeved at me, prompting me to whimper as usual.

But then Master came and I was happy! "Gunpei, what are you doing! You had me worried."

"So that's your dog?" The stranger sneered to my master "This... Gunpei..."

"Hey, he's one of the only friends I've got here, alright" he defended.

"I may be far away from home, but I can still hold my own-"

"-against scum like me." the stranger finished

then he added: "I get that a lot."

Master stood silent.

"Look, I've got a job to do."

"Really?" asked Master in his upbeat tone.

"If you wanna help out, be my guest. If not..."

The stranger proceeded to shoot down a Salamence.

Killing the Pocket Monster on the spot.

I was scared, But Master...

He was really feeling it!

Day Thirty-One of the New World.

Fifty-Eight Days until the Great Departure

/Rock Light/

The Good Doctor finished my battle suit when I go Mega Man.

He had prepared me for an audience with an Emissary of the Hands.

Protoman and several other robot masters have fallen in my most recent adventure.

Most of them wound up as yard decor through the courtesy of my own buster.

So their technology was integrated into me for when that day came.

When I am ultimately summoned to smash.

Poor Rock, He still thinks that the Smashing still matters in this new world... Boy, is he up for a Surprise once the Emissary and his two new companions arrive on the scene.

Next Time: Feel the Burn

In which Crazy Hand gets in shape with two of his newly minted Toys and a ROB is forwarded a backup file that would change his code forever.
