The terrified Gutsman continued running along the streets away from the psycho that was still behind him. He then found a wall and decided to hide behind it. He relaxed a bit when he stood behind the wall hoping that he would lose him.

"Hehheh, he wont find me here."

"I know you're there!"

Gutsman froze in fear as he heard the singing voice of his pursuer.

On the other side of the wall Bean took out a baseball bat. "Common, playmate, let's play baseball! Let's see how well you do in Blast & Run!"

"I am NOT your playmate!" yelled Gutsman getting out of his stupor.

"You don't want to play with me?" the duck said in a shocked sad tone.

"NO!" Gutsman growled behind the wall.

Bean dropped his hands, but still held the items in them.

"Oh why do people hate playing with me!" He said in a fake depressed tone and looked down at his feet.

"I mean no harm! All I want to do is play games and have a BLAST!"

He screamed the last word raising his hands again and hitting the bomb with the bat aiming at the wall which blew up and exposed Gutsman's location.

"That's it! No more Mr. Nice Dynamite!" He looked vengeful with yet another lit bomb in his hand.

Gutsman just sweat dropped.

"EAT THIS!" the Dynamite threw the second bomb at him but it exploded in mid air before making contact.

"Hey! What gives?" the duck looked around.

Fireman showed up and looked at them. "You OK, Gutsman?"

"Now dat you're here."

"I'll take care of this psycho. You go check on Megaman and try to get'em out of here."

"I got it covered." Gutsman ran away as fast as his legs could go to where Megaman was.

"Hey wait up! I'm not done playing with you, yet!" Bean protested and was about to run after him when Fireman stepped in front of him.

"You heard what I said, Duck. You got yaself a new playmate!" Fireman's eyes smiled while his three torches blazed. "Oh I've been having so much fun since sunrise and am still in a good mood to play! But you know what? All this excitement today has made me hungry and I sure feel like having a roast duck for dinner!"

This time it was Bean's turn to panic.


"Now how am I supposed to lose this car?" Sonic wondered as he ran at lightning speed while looking back at his pursuer.

"I must find a way out." He tried to take sharp turns at hard corners of the streets but the enemy was following his every move as if it were a homing missile programmed to follow him. No matter how fast he went, the moment Sonic turned the race car would follow in sync. He then found a loop-de-loop which he smoothly went through as usual with his high speed. But still his pursuer followed, going through the loop-de-loop with relative ease.

"Boy is that robot good…. Oh no! dead end!"

He suddenly stopped right before he ran in to the wall in front of him. Only then did he realize that he got himself trapped in a back alley.

"Guess I have to stop running away and face my troubles" he turned to face his pursuer who stopped and transformed into his robotic form again.

"Sonic, over here!"

Hearing the voice of his long time friend, Sonic looked up.

"Tails! Amy! Cream!" He saw the Tornado flying towards him.

"Take this, Sonic!" Amy threw a metallic box to Sonic who jumped and grabbed it while avoiding Turboman's shots with relative ease. He landed gracefully and observed the box. Upon realizing what it was his eyes widened then looked at Turboman with a smirk, which made him feel uneasy.

"Looks like I'm getting even with you now!" he then forcefully threw the box to the floor breaking it apart. At first Turboman saw nothing coming out of it but then, with horror he noticed that Sonic was slowly being engulfed within a hollow ball of flame with Sonic in the centre.

"Come on! Give me your best shot!" he taunted

Turbo obliged and was satisfied that he finally landed a hit, but not for long, because the opponent was still standing there with his arms crossed, whistling and looking around like he wasn't in the middle of annihilation. What was worse was the fact that he was perfectly unharmed!

"Can't roast me now can you? But since I fight fare how about we have a little brawl with punches, kicks and all, hmm?"

The Robot nodded in agreement and they both jumped at each other.

"Go get him, Sonic. Teach that bolt brain a lesson!" Amy cheered while waving her trusty hammer in the air. The other two had to duck down to avoid her hits. Tails was flying around Sonic when suddenly he was surrounded by robotic birds.

"What are those things?" Tails asked squinting his eyes at them.

"Those birdies look bad."

The moment Cream pointed that out the robotic birds started dropping eggs at them. Tails rolled the plane sideways to avoid being hit by them and (as he expected) they blew up, missing the Tornado by mere inches, but then the contents of the eggs scattered all over with one of them landing a scratch on the plane.

"Oh no! Big trouble!" Fearing for the girls' safety Tails was forced to leave the scene, but the birds followed them.


"Come out and face me you sack of bolts!"

Mighty yelled as he entered the station. He walked to the center of the room and looked around.

"Weakling, eh? Guess who's a coward then."

Mighty then was swapped with a rain if fists and kicks that took him by storm sending him flying off to the wall.

"Being a Light-bot I assure you that I'm not so."

"That speed… How did you become so fast all of a sudden?" he stood up looking angrily at Elecman who was now sparking with power.

"Why do you think I'm called 'Elecman'?" He asked while raising an energized finger upwards "Electricity happens to be my source of power and this station gives me a boost of electric energy that enables me to defeat you!" He demonstrated his point by running in circles at amazing speed around the armadillo. He threw a shot and Mighty tried to curl up like before but this time he was hit before he could even bend a muscle. He forcefully fell on his side and tried to stand up again feeling the charges flowing through him.

"I must… fight!" He ran at Elecman throwing a punch at him, but the Light-bot avoided it easily, leaving Mighty in a shocked state.

"Can't land a hit on me now." Elecman barraged the Armadillo with punches and kicks of his own as a payback. The final blow sent Mighty flying onto a wall and he fell on his knees and hands.

Mighty then knew he was in big trouble.

"Mmm...to watch my beautiful bolts fly to the top of your head...to hear your delightful shrieks... Let's see you break out of this one now, Mighty Weakling!" Elecman pointed his finger upwards with a twisted smile.

"You… you might win this fight against me, Twisted Psycho." Mighty hardly tried to stand on one feet while grabbing his arm in pain. "But my comrades will definitely rescue those two kids you kidnapped, and the Chaos Emerald you stole. Then you'll be really sorry."

He closed his eyes anticipating the Thunder Beam, but instead he felt two hands grabbing his shoulders shaking him forcefully, making his eyes open widely at his opponent who was now frowning at him.

"What kidnapped kids?"


Down below them the three fugitive Robot Masters and wolf looked up at the enduring fight between Shademan and the flying enemy.

"What's that thing fighting, Shademan?" Megaman asked.

"Looks like some sort of a bat themed robot." Roll shrugged.

"That, Shademan! Wasting his time fighting that thing! We need to get out of here fast!" Bass was loosing patience.

Treble then started communicating with his master in his coded language which sounded like a series of growls and barks to Megaman and Roll.

"What?" Bass looked down at Treble with surprise. "What are you saying? Don't tell me that-"

Treble nodded disappointedly, confirming what Bass was about to say to him.

"That Goblin freak!" Bass angrily raised a fist to his chest level while looking away.

"What's he saying? Can't he fly us out of here?" Megaman was guessing what their conversation was about.

"No!" Yelled Bass at his rival " That Tengu-creep punctured his merge unit so even if the sky was clear for us we wouldn't be able to fly out! Oh, I'm so gonna scrap him the next time we meet."

"What are we going to do now!" Megaman was worried.

"Don't worry, Rock. I'm sure there will be a way out." His sister comforted him.

Just then they heard the floor crack a few feet away from them. Suddenly the concrete blew upwards and figures started to emerge from below, which the twins identified as soon as the smoke cleared out.

"Bombman" Megaman saw the creative bomb maker with a bomb in his hand.

"I knew the racket we heard down there would lead us to you!" Bombman said as two little figures came out behind him. Iceman, the Eskimo themed robot and Cutman, the child-like wood cutter.

"Finally we found you, big brother!" the two smallest Light-bots encircled the twins and hugged them gladly.

Then came out Oilman, the cheerful oil supplier.

"Yo, whats up people! Been in a jam lately? Well have no fear cause the king of oil is here to save you!"

Followed by Timeman, who walked towards them. "I'm glad I'm finally out of those filthy sewers. I don't want to ever again waste my time down there."

"You came to save us!" Roll was happy to see them.

"Good to see you, guys." Megaman smiled at them all.

"Great, you junk-bot seem to like to pop out of nowhere all the time."

Bombman noticed Bass and frowned at him.

"What's that snake doing here?"

The remaining Light-bots noticed him and weren't happy to see him either. Bass just glared at them while Treble growled.

"You don't have to worry about him for now. We're in temporary truce for the time being." Megaman stated.

"Truce? In the middle of this war zone? You for real?"

"Yeah, what's the big deal here?"

Oilman and Cutman questioned as they and the others noticed the battling robots surrounding them.

"Look, no time to explain, so I'll be brief. Our brothers are out there trying to fend off these enemies along with some Wily-bots, while we find a way out this mess."

"Way out? No problemo!" Oilman pointed at the hole they just came out from.

"Creating escape roots? Heh, it seems you junk-bots are good for something after all."

The second bunch Light-bots steamed at him.

"Look, pay no attention to him." Roll tried to stop a mini-war from ensuing and started giving orders like a mother ordering little children. "Our brothers need as much help as they can get, so please back them while we try to escape through that hole, ok?"

"OK, we'll take it from here." Bombman gave a thumbs up to Roll.

"Guess we're back to pick-and-zoom out!" Bass grabbed the twins again then jumped on Treble in his Jet Form. As soon as they disappeared into the hole, a giant boulder fell from the sky blocking the hole.

"Hey! What the?" The Light-group looked around.

"Hey, old man! It's you!" Oilman spotted Gutsman and the whole group ran to him.

"Don't scare us like that, Mr. Gutsman! Little bro can't take it!" Cutman grabbed Iceman' shoulder who was shaking with fear.

"Sorry, didn't mean ta scary ya like dat, Little boy." Gutsman patted Iceman.

"It's ok. No harm done." Iceman started to calm down.

"Good thing you showed up just in time to block that path." Timeman stated.

"Yeah, that way nobody can go after them, unless I use my bombs to open it again that is"

"Yeah. Now lets go help da others kick dose hooligans like dere is no tomorrow."

They nodded in agreement and scattered around into the battle field.
