Rock & Roll
Chapter 10 : Reach for the 'Sun'
In a fortress somewhere far away, Dr. Wily stood in front of his big computer, which support a huge screen. The mad doctor's eyes were wide, his mouth hanging open as he stared at the computer's huge screen in shock. Standing next to Dr. Wily is Piano, her bright red eyes also focused on the huge screen.
"... Well..." Piano spoke up, breaking the silence. "I never expect this coming."
"T-This is just... I-I mean..." Dr. Wily began, but he ended up couldn't find words to say. He then sighed aloud, scratching his head in frustration. "I... I thought nobody was around when I talked about Roboenza with you, Piano. Ugh, If only I knew..."
Piano sighed, glancing to her creator. "Dad... If I may comment, then I must say that 'he' was quite careless in taking action... But if 'he' was lucky, 'he' will surely succeed... At least I hope so."
Piano sighs again, looking back to the huge screen before her, staring at the message written on the screen :
Dr. Wily,
First off, I'm sorry that I left the base without your permission.
Second... Well, sorry that I've eavesdropping on your conversation about Roboenza with... SWN-002 (sorry, I still couldn't get her name). I don't mean to do that at first when I overheard you talking with SWN-002, but... Well, curiosity got the better of me.
So anyway, I've heard that I'm now immune to Roboenza, so I challenged Megaman to a battle. I will make sure to beat him this time, Dr. Wily. I promise you victory over Megaman!
Signed,
Solarman (DWN-080)

- Meanwhile, somewhere at a place with lava everywhere... -
*Music Starts : Solar Inferno (Megaman 10)*
"Take this!"
Megaman brought up his left arm— which already transformed to his Mega Buster— before he fires a charged-shot to a flower-like robot enemy named Sola 0 before him. It destroyed instantly once Megaman's shot hit it.
"Ugh..." Megaman grunted, already feeling a bit weary with all the fight he went through ever since he arrived at the place. "I never thought this will be quite hard..."
The 'Blue Bomber' panted as he dropped himself to his knees, using his right arm to support himself up and not meet the ground face-first.
What a tough route back then... Megaman thought, sighing deeply. Not only I need to run on the moving floors and jump over the smoldering lava, I also need to battle lots of robots getting in my way... Dr. Wily had really done it this time, especially with those bird-like robots who acted as sub-boss, Suzak and Fenix.
The 'Blue Bomber' then brought his left arm up, which still transformed to his Mega Buster, observing it carefully.
He frowned when he found that his energy— which shown at his Buster as yellow bars— was only half left.
It's still a long road to go, but I'm already lost a half of my energy? Megaman thought, sighing. Still, I need to go on. Roll wouldn't be cured from her current state if I only stay here and doing nothing.
With the conclusion made, Megaman pushed himself to his feet and walked towards the ladder leading upward just above him. He latched his arms to one of its many handles before he climbed it up. Once everything was said and done, he's now standing on the hard surface of the metal platform where the ladder attached on.
The 'Blue Bomber' saw two long ladders leading upward, but a group of small, fire-like robot enemy named Changkey flying back and forth from the walls, passing the ladders every few seconds.
If I'm not careful enough, I could get damaged by them for sure, Megaman concluded mentally, as he watched the Changkeys keep flying around with no clue when they will stop.
Megaman then shook his head, throwing his worries away as he reached to one of the ladders and began climbing it carefully, repeatedly stops when the Changkeys flew on his way.
"So far so good..." Megaman muttered, climbing the ladder again when the Changkeys were far enough from him.
When Megaman almost reached the top, however, the Changkeys made a sudden change of their moves, going straight to the 'Blue Bomber' and hit him.
"AHH!" Megaman cried out, not just for the sudden pain he received, but also for the fact that his fingers slipped off the ladder's handles, and he was left falling down from a high distance...
Just before Megaman could collide to the hard ground head-first, something grab him by his shoulders and slowly lifted him up into the air. This shocked the 'Blue Bomber' as his bright green eyes grew wide.
"W-What the...?" Megaman looked up, wondering what— or maybe who— was carrying him and just saved him from falling to the ground head-first.
When he did look up, Megaman couldn't help but feeling relieved, as the one carrying him was none other than his blue support robot bird named Beat. The fact that the bird carrying him didn't surprise him much, as Beat is always been stronger than he looks— not to mention now the bird got a redesign and, of course, upgrades.
"Beat!" the 'Blue Bomber' said the blue robot bird's name aloud, never expecting the bird's arrival.
"Tweet, tweet!" Beat chirped, looking down to Megaman happily.
"H-How did you get here, Beat?" Megaman questioned, looking at the blue robot bird in wonder. "I mean, I haven't called for any help ye— WHOA!"
Beat suddenly flew to the right side at such speed, making Megaman startled as his body got some thrust on his right side. Turns out the blue bird robot do so to fly away from the pursuit of an army of Yonbain— a pink, small, square-shaped robot enemy that can multiple itself and follow where its opponent goes... Well, at this case, the 'opponent' is Megaman.
"Beat! Try to turn around! I'll handle them!" Megaman exclaimed, and he quickly began charging energy to his Mega Buster. Hearing this, Beat nodded and whipped his entire body around, just in time when Megaman charged enough energy into his Buster.
"Mega Buster!" the 'Blue Bomber' shouted, as he released his blue-colored Buster shot to the Yonbains. The charged-shot hit them, and one by one, they're destroyed while still in the air.
"Phew... That took care of them!" Megaman stated, sighing in relief, while Beat chirped happily before he turned his body around and flying ahead...
Moments later, Beat began flying lower, giving out a loud chirp to Megaman as he gestured the 'Blue Bomber' to look ahead. When Megaman did as the bird gestured, a smile made its way to his face.
Right at the end of a long metal platform below them, a grey metal door was seen, which marked that they almost reach the boss of this stage— which is none other than Solarman.
"Beat, stop right there! I'll handle the rest!" Megaman said to Beat, pointing to the grey metal door below them. The blue robot bird chirped in reply before he began to flew down to the said spot, allowing Megaman to land right in front of the metal door.
"This is it..." Megaman muttered, looking up to the grey metal door before him. Beat suddenly flew in front of the 'Blue Bomber', giving out a happy chirp.
"Thank you so much for your help, Beat. I—" Megaman began to say, but stopped when he noticed Beat was holding something in his beak.
"A... chip?" Megaman muttered in wonder, his right hand reaching for the chip in Beat's beak. When the tips of his fingers touched the chip, suddenly, something was flowing through his right arm before it spread completely inside his body.
Megaman's eyes grew wide. "W-What's this...?" the 'Blue Bomber' muttered, almost in shock. "Three weapon data received... Leaf Shield... Water Balloon... and Air Shooter."
The 'Blue Bomber' gasped. "T-These are... T-The weapon data of Woodman, Aquaman, and Airman! Are these copied from Roll?"
"Tweet, tweet!" Beat nodded to Megaman, before he gave the 'Blue Bomber' an E-Tank, which the bird held with his feet.
"T-Thank you, Beat... You helped me a lot, you know?" Megaman uttered, accepting the E-Tank from Beat and opens it. He quickly drank the contents of the E-Tank, and in instant, the 'Blue Bomber's energy was fully restored.
"Thank you, Beat," Megaman thanked the blue robot bird again. "You can go back now. Say my thanks to Dr. Light, okay?"
"Tweet, tweet!" Beat chirped happily to Megaman, before he fluttered off high to the air to go back home.
"Alright then," Megaman turned his attention back to the grey metal door before him, his hands clenched into tight fist at his sides.
"I better hurry and get going... Roll, please hang on. I'll get Solarman's data for you," the 'Blue Bomber' muttered before he proceed to the grey metal door in front of him, ready to face Solarman...
*Music Ends*

- Meanwhile, outside Solarman's stage... -
Beat was still flying high in the sky, wanting to go home. He then looked down, and suddenly, the robot bird chirped happily before he decided to went home later, and flying down to a male figure in armor who stood on a cliff not far from Solarman's stage.
Noticing Beat's arrival, the male figure smiled, holding out both of his arms upward. Beat chirped even happier as he flew to the male figure's chest, cuddling on the male figure as the male figure brought his hands around the bird's body.
"Hey there, Beat. How are you?" the male figure inquired the robot bird, who chirped happily in return. "What are you doing here, anyway?"
"Tweet, tweet, tweet~!" Beat told the male figure what he was doing with his own language, and somehow, the male figure understood what the robot bird said.
"Good job, Beat. I believe that this person named Dr. Thomas Light you said there will be happy to know that you're done with giving the weapon data that Dr. Thomas Light copied from... uh... I believe you said 'DLN-002'. In a form of a chip, Dr. Thomas Light gave the chip to you and ask you to send the chip to... uh... 'DLN-001'? My, I wonder who are these two..." the male figure uttered, caressing Beat's head as the robot bird chirped happily.
A beeping sound was heard from the right side of the male figure's helmet. The male figure brought his right arm up and tapped his helmet while his left arm wrapped around Beat.
"Who is this?" the male figure spoke to his intercom, and was silent for a second of two before he smiled. "Hello, 'Doctor'. I'm glad you called... Hmm? Where am I now? Uh... I believe it's somewhere far away from home, just as you requested me... Eh? You want me to do what...?"
The male figure went silent again for a moment before he spoke again. "Mega... what? Huh? Megaman...? Who is that? ... Eh? 'DLN-001' is Megaman? Why should I— ... Huh?"
The male figure was silent again, listening to the voice from the other line of his intercom. A few seconds later, the male figure nods.
"Alright, 'Doctor'," the male figure uttered, voice sounds serious. "I will challenge Megaman to a battle once he was done with this Robot Master named Solarman."
Megaman has reached the grey metal door! Will the 'Blue Bomber' succeed in defeating Solarman...? And just who's the male figure at the end of the Chapter...?
