Chapter 24: Metal Blades
Rock saw himself inside the room and, when he started to walk, some robots jumped directly at him. Rock deactivated them with the Metal Blades. Precise and repeat until he reach the end of the corridor and saw a field of spikes below it.
"Item 2?"
Crash Man asked from his side and Rock nodded before using item 2 and seeing two stairs in the distance. Without even asking, Rock went down the second staircase and started climbing.
When he found an E-tank there could not contain the surprise.
"Break Man must have leave an E-tank here. I did not expect that"
Rock commented taking the E-tank and saving it. He was sure he was going to need it eventually.
He kept moving until he saw a ladder and started to descend slowly in case something was ready to attack him.
When he reached the end of the stairs, he looked down, calculating where to fall to avoid the spikes.
"Why are there so many spikes?"
Rock questioned as he fell straight to solid ground.
"Maybe he knows the effect it has on the robot masters"
Suggested Dr. Light.
"Or simply it gives chills to the place"
Dr. Wily commented.
Rock denied a bit and continued moving carefully from the small drills that fell from the ceiling and left the ground to reach a very familiar situation. Avoid that things that can crush him.
A staircase and Rock was again falling from a ladder to a specific point or die because of the spikes.
"I regret what I said. He wants to see you very dead"
Dr. Wily said while Rock was falling.
"I knew it, Dr. Wily"
Rock responded entering a room with very strange pink walls. A tremor was all that Rock felt when the bricks on the wall began to come out and join each other forming a kind of small robot that began to fly towards him.
"What is that?!"
Rock exclaimed in amazement, watching the robot and dodging it.
"Throw it Metal Blades! That works with everything"
Flash Man said and Rock did it to discover that, in fact, the Metal Blades worked. As he was destroying the robots that came out of the wall, he discovered that they increased the speed with which they left as they were deactivated. Dodging them all was almost impossible. Some hit him before he could deactivate them.
Eventually, he succeeded.
"I did it!"
Rock exclaimed happily.
"I knew it! The Metal Blades work with everything. Dr. Wily, can we cut Break Man in pieces?"
He listened to Metal Man on the communicator making him laugh.
"Of course Not!"
When he was transported back, he saw Dr. Wily arguing with Metal Man until they saw him return.
"Come on, Rock. Let's fix the damage"
Dr. Wily said starting to guide him to the table to repair him.
"What about Dr. Light?"
Rock asked when he did not see it.
"He went to deal with the human's universal stupidity"
Dr. Wily said checking Rock while he nodded a little. Dr. Light must have decided that the statement Dr. Wily made the previous time was too much for the world and he was going to take charge himself.
"From which point?"
Rock asked while Metal Man assisted Dr. Wily in repairing him.
"While you fell in those spiked rooms to the room of the strange robot"
Dr. Wily said calmly fixing him.
"What about Quick Man?"
He asked when didn't see him but knowing where he was the last time he arrived at the laboratory.
"Almost near to finish that dragon. He wants to keep it and he is afraid that Break Man will throw it away. The doctors told him to bring it here to see what they can do. He's in the warehouse with that mechanical beast"
Crash Man answered happily and reviewing the video of Rock's adventure in case he finds the next part of the road at Break Man's castle.
"I'm glad Quick Man is so happy with that dragon"
Rock answered happily watching the video of his adventure.
"He said he was not going to take the dragon's flamethrower away and that's the most important thing. You never know when we need to burn something into ashes"
Heat Man opined looking at everything in a seat next to Flash Man.
"I think he should put something else. Like a bomb or something"
Crash Man commented smiling before Flash Man denied a bit.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Crash Man. Considering that the laboratory is in the middle of the city and that it is a giant dragon, the doctors would kill us if we blow up the city. We have to wait for the next Break Man war to be able to explode something"
Flash Man suggested seriously considering it before Metal Man hit Flash Man in the head.
"Don't say it out loud, Dr. Wily is going to put you in his file of psychotic robots or he will tell Dr. Light. You don't want a talk from Dr. Light about empathy and why it's important to appreciate your peers"
Metal Man recommended looking sideways at Dr. Wily as he reviewed the battle data and the complete state of Rock on the computer.
"When did he do that?"
Heat man asked curiously.
"While Rock was asleep and we were looking for Quick Man's blueprints to fix him. It was…uncomfortable"
Metal Man responded looking at the void. Bubble Man denied slightly watching the video of Rock's adventure.
"Your adventures could be a game and we can put Break Man as the villain and with Dr. Wily's music of in the background. Children would love it"
Bubble Man thought quite calm about the situation. That kind of moments are what help Rock remember why he is fighting and to stay determined to defeat Break Man.
"Ready"
He heard Dr. Wily say to get up from the table.
"Where do I go now?"
Rock asked walking to the teleporter.
"There are some places, but it seems that behind the wall of the first room with spikes there is a path. We could try to obtain the plans of the castle to know where to send you"
Said Crash Man finishing reviewing the video.
Rock nodded a little.
"Considering Quick Man is the one who knows the castle best and is busy, we can't ask him, but we can make an approximation of some place to finish the road."
Said Flash Man thoughtfully.
"Ok. We can do that"
He said and was transported once more.
And we have a new stage clear!
Have you ever wondered about the how Dr. Wily can make such robots when he is a villain? I have been wondering for a while. That wall robots were horrible. I caan't defeat them. My brother were fighting those things and then, he said "You know what? I'll use the Metal Blades. Those work on almost everything" And it did.
I had the christmas fic done and everything but I can't upload it now. It have a lot of spoliers about the after Break Man's wars and...well, I'll wait until the next year.
SharpDragonKlaw: Yes, even now I still have problems with those stages. Well, I wonder Quick Man's next role will be and the relation it can have with the Mecha Dragon. Thank you for the review.
itanimulli: oh dear. Bubbles try to be a nice guy and making his brothers a nice robots...good luck! Also, yes, Quick Man will be a happy little thing when the Mecha Dragon was fixed. And about Crash Man...Flash Man's idea was a very good idea indeed...heh. Oh, that will have to wait until the end of the war. That will be a nice *very nice* thing. Well, Merry Christmas to you too. Sorry for not uploading the fic...too much spoilers XD
Thank you for reading
