Two doctors were facing each other, Texas shoot off style. One was the newly arrived Dr. Cossack and the other was Wily. Everybody's gaze was on them, including mine. A burst of wind made their coats flutter dramatically. Shadow and Kalinka looked ready to support their fathers, whether it is verbal or combat.

"So let's hear the truth about this monster that chased away the other monsters, shall we?" Wily said in a calm, dangerous voice, "The whole notion that you created this new robot yourself is some kind of joke, isn't it?"

I coughed a few times, directing everyone's attention on me. Not expecting to grab everyone's attention, I didn't speak for a second.

"I know you two are mortal enemies, but don't we have more pressing issues at the moment?" I said awkwardly.

While Wily still had a dangerous look, Cossack simple walked over to his helicopter and pressed a button. Various robot parts tumbled to the ground. One of the heads rolled to my feet, startling me. It was Star Man's head.

"H-h-help me!" Stars said with an anime like crying expression.

I was about to pick him up, but Wily snatched him away and started to yell at him about not showing up for awhile. Shadow tried to explain that they were working odd jobs to get money for Wily, but it wasn't getting through him. I let out a small laugh at Shadow's expression, but stopped when I realized something in horror. We didn't have a lab to fix the bots up with! It seemed like Light and Wily also realized this and were arguing. All the Light bots rolled their eyes. Not everyone was crazy enough to build a secret underground laboratory. At that insult, the large, green robot that had been quiet that whole had a very interesting look on his face. He took out a remote, drawing the attention of the bickering doctors. When he pushed the big red button, the ground started to shake. I stumbled and tripped over Ice Man. A giant, red can thing with eyes rose from the ground.

"I knew this day would come," the green one said proudly, "So every time the Doctor sent me out on an errand, I kept some of the change for myself. Eventually, I was able to save enough money to build this secret laboratory!"

"Whoa," I said in awe, "That takes dedication!"

The green bot gave me a smug look. But then Roll decided to clobber him.

"SO YOU'RE THE REASON OUR ACCONTING BOOKS WEREN'T BALENCING!" she screeched.

I jumped back in surprise at Roll's sudden violent assault. Especially since it was over something so little. Most of the group quickly walked inside, Light promising the green one, whose name I learned was Auto, a punishment later. I gave a confused sigh and followed the group. What was in the secret lab was a sight to behold. Various long tools hanged on the walls. Dozens of cabinets were holding smaller tools and parts. Everyone that wasn't severely wounded were at the workbenches, working at unimaginable speeds. With everyone hard at work, I felt out of place, especially since I knew nothing about robotics.

"I NEED SOME HOOK-UP WIRE OVER HERE!"

Wincing, I found myself looking around the room. The cabinet nearest to me had a neat label that said "Wires". Upon opening it, I found neatly organized wires with labels. I mentally thanked Auto and grabbed what Roll was looking for. She quickly swiped it when I offered it to her and continued her work on Charge Man. Dr. Cossack yelled about needing some cutters. I dashed around the room until I found the cabinet that had them. After I handed them over, someone else needed a tool. While darting around, I started to memorize where certain tools were, making finding things a little easier. Though I did still messed up, mainly because a lot of the smaller parts looked the same to me. Even though everyone was stressed, they didn't get angry with me. Except Wily, he just threw the tool back at me. Slowly, the injured bots became functional again. I felt a jolt of happiness when they came back online. Star Man gave me a jump hug when he woke up, which startled me. Then he forced me to take a break. I was about to argue back, but then I just realized how much I ached. Running around constantly for an hour and lack of food had taken its toll. I sat myself down in a corner where I wouldn't be in the way and closed my eyes. An image of a Stardroid filled my mind. He was floating in front of a circle of other Stardroids. One of them was screeching in pain, clutching his face. The lead Stardroid, who had wicked green hair, popped what looked like black eyeball in his mouth. The image faded, replaced by a throbbing headache. My eyes shot open and I noticed my body was shaking.

"On your way out, turn the lights out. Take your super models and your broken beer bottles," I quietly sang, trying to calm down.

The images didn't make any sense to me. Why was I having them? They seem to be only be connected to the Stardroids, one of them to be specific. It was apparent that the visions were at someone's point of view, especially the one with Tomahawk Man. My best guess was that they took place in the present or the near future. Was I one with the Force? As awesome as that would have been, my life would've became more confusing. My last thought was what Shadow said to me. What was wrong with my eyes? I did have a vision before he made that comment. Perhaps it was a side effect? It must not have lasted long, because no one else commented on it. But why would Shadow have a reaction like that? He doesn't react to much.

"The source of this planet's hope is…"

"WHO?" I yelped.

No one seemed to notice the strange voice, or me yelling for that matter. Except Cut Man, who sent me a strange look. Was I going insane? It wouldn't have been the first time.

"MEGAMAN"

That grabbed everyone's attention. The owner of the voice happened to be the greened haired Stardroid in my vision. He was also about to kill Megaman.

We were just having a fantastic day.
