Note from the Author: Time for another update folks. To let everyone know, I'm still alive and kicking. I just want to let you guys know a few things. First, I've finally decided to start a My Little Pony story but it's a crossover with Mega Man so you'll find out from me if I ever do plan to upload it here. Second is that I now work full-time as a partner on YouTube under FullScreen. In other words, I get paid to do the things I love to do which is making video game footage. I'm currently doing Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and I hope to get it done before I go back for classes. Of course, once I graduate then I have all the time I need to make more so I can earn more. Third, I'm finishing up college and I'm hoping to give it everything I have. When I'm done with it hoping that I never ever go back then I'm free to do all the fanfic writing I want including this. Now then, I think it is time for everyone to enjoy the newest chapter. Be sure to read and leave a review. Remember, it's your reviews that help keep me going. Enjoy.
Chapter 4 – An A-Maze-ing Death Trap; Robert's Quick Dilemma
Light Residence – 4:12 PM
It's been a few hours since the mess that occurred in New Light Airport. Everyone at the moment is simply drained after not only dealing with Glyde but, attempting to save the airship I brought back. Too bad it was reduced to junk and Denise getting screamed at by her superior. At least her dad came in to save the day. Too bad the damage is already done and Denise left for home. It was a really bad day for everyone. Right now, I'm hard at work trying to repair TimeMan in the basement lab. His injuries were severe but after careful analysis, I discovered that most of his internal structure has been damaged. Of all the Robot Masters that were in need of repairs after that major brawl (Arc 2-8), TimeMan was the one who was completed first. Too bad this is going to make things a hell of a lot harder.
TimeMan… you saved me from that flashy douchebag. Now it's my turn to save you by getting you back on your feet. I swear this is going to be a pain to get this done. But as I was getting the repairs done, Tron shows up with her Servbots. This is going to be a long day.
"Anyone there? Huh? Robert, you're back. What happened?" But she turns to find TimeMan a complete wreck. Plus the upset look on my face tells that I'm quite busy. "N-never mind. What happened?" Turning off the machine, I turned around and explained things to her. I hope she can take it well.
"I'll sum it up in three sentences. I defeated FlashMan and acquired his weapon. However, I failed to stop them from cleaning out the Burma gemstone mines. Last but not least, TimeMan took the full force of an attack meant to take me out and as a result suffered severe injuries to his internal systems. I'm right now trying to repair him but it's becoming harder than I anticipated. That good enough for you?" Tron simply didn't say a word. I guess finding out about it didn't seem quite fitting.
"At least it's not bad as what we through. We didn't get Glyde and the airship that you brought back is nothing but a pile of junk. Even worse is that smug boss of his screamed at Denise… Excuse me." I saw Tron let off a sigh. I feel bad for her. "Anyway, her dad showed up and saved Denise. But she just drove off all while saying that she let everyone down. We all took this very hard and I've been trying to reach her for more than three hours." I saw her shedding a tear. I can tell this is getting real bad.
She then ran to me and cried. All I could do was give her a bit of comfort. It's just really sad, I swear. I can imagine Wily is enjoying this but right now, all I cared about is to be by my sweetheart's side. Teisel then shows up to find that even he is affected by all of this. I really can't believe that this mess has affected all of us. How can this get any worse?
"How long have ya been here Robert?" Teisel said, "Judging by what you're doing, you were here for a couple of hours."
"Not really. I was in the lab for about two hours and I'm at the moment working on getting TimeMan repaired." Looking at TimeMan, I realize that if I wasted my time fixing him, it wouldn't do us any good. "On second thought, maybe I should stop. This is crazy."
"Wily must be laughing his ass now that all of us are at a disadvantage. Denise is in a slump and the rest of us are already pissed over what happened here. How can this day get any worse?" Judging by all of us here, it has gotten worse.
"Guys, why don't we just take the rest of the day off so we can at least clear our heads?" I looked at Teisel and saw that it was the best option we have.
"Good idea. I'm beat and plus my armor is undergoing repairs. Where are the Servbots?" Tron and Teisel were silent not saying a word. "Well? Where are they?"
"I think they're tired too. Hell, everyone is tired. Let's just simply take a break guys." For once, I agree with you Teisel. I stopped what I was doing and went upstairs with the others.
Reaching upstairs, the three of us just sat on the couch completely drained. Some of the Servbots came to check up on us but we didn't bother responding. This made them all worried.
"What's wrong with them? They aren't talking." Servbot #12 said. His other Servbot companions tried to find out, but it didn't help things.
"They must be tired. Let's leave them alone for a little while." Servbot #17 responded. The others agreed but one of them has an idea.
"Why don't we prepare something special for dinner tonight? It'll help them be happy again." Servbot #22 said afterwards. The others cheered and got to work.
After a while, the tiredness kicked in and the three immediately went to Napsville. Okay, that was pretty lame but still, we're beat and we need some time to rest. Eventually, Dr. Light showed up with Higsby and noticed things are not as they seem to be. If I know him, he'll mostly go on to say what happened and all that junk. But then his sights were on the Servbots making some food. That got the two a bit concerned.
"Excuse me but why are you making food at two in the afternoon?" Said Dr. Light. The Servbots turned to see the two looking at them curiously.
"Forgive us Doctor Light but Master Teisel, Master Robert and Miss Tron are tired and we thought to prepare them some food for later. Is that okay with you?" Servbot #22 replied.
"I don't mind one bit. Though I do feel that you should keep the noise to a minimum. The three are at the moment sleeping so make sure you don't disturb them." Dr. Light responded. Servbot #22 nodded positively and he along with #25 and #29 got to work. "Now then Higsby, we need to head to my basement lab. We should get to work." Higsby nodded and the two head downstairs… until that battlechip nerd decided to have a little fun.
Seeing some makeup on the table, he grabbed it and got to work on Teisel's face. Higsby was doing it carefully so that Teisel wouldn't wake up immediately. He started with putting lipstick on Teisel's lips then he went to work on putting mascara all over his face. Once he finished, he put eyeshadow on his eyes. With an evil glee, he finished things up by adding some blemish to make Teisel look cute. I can pretty much imagine what the hell would happen next. With everything done, Higsby slowly walked away. Reaching a good enough distance, he took a deep breath and went to the basement. Meeting my gramps, they both got a look at the situation relating to TimeMan.
"Robert has already gone to work repairing him. I told him about a week or so ago that it'll take weeks for all eight Robot Masters to be repaired. We were able to get TimeMan done first." He got a good look at TimeMan and my efforts in trying to repair him. "But it looks like we'll have to work extra hard for this."
"Right doctor. I'm ready whenever you are." Higsby responded, "I don't think we should be rushing this right?" That caught Dr. Light's eye.
"We shouldn't. So for the time being, l believe we should do this carefully. Follow my instructions understand?" Dr. Light asked. Higsby nodded. "Good, let's get underway."
Higsby paid attention to my grandpa as the two went to work with the repairs. Judging by how it's going, it shouldn't take too long. Back upstairs, Tron, Teisel and I were still snoozing. I'm more worried for Teisel because of Higsby's little mishap. I only hope he takes it a bit well. Because if he doesn't, then you can guess where this is going to go.
Skull Fortress – An hour later…
Wily would normally be angry because one of his robots had failed him but today is different. He seemed more happy and content mostly due to his recent successes. With the Burma gemstones in his hands, he'll be able to have enough money to come up with more evil schemes. Plus with the airship taken out, he no longer has to worry about his own work used against him. For once, he actually seems happy with this. I wonder how crazy this guy is. Glyde shows up along with several Birdbots. One look from Wily tells that Glyde got his ass handed to him.
"Ah, I see that your operation was successful despite you suffering injuries." His face then went to serious mode. "You did destroy the airship yes?"
"I did… I even got you a little bonus." Glyde responded. He gave him an optical disk. One look from Wily can pretty much guess what this is.
"So you did succeed after all. I am amazed Glyde." Wily simply smiled and it was just creepy. "Normally, I would have my robots take care of it but you're the first that actually got this right." And are you really that surprised Wily?
"The battle I had was simply a farce… it was all so that the Birdbots can get in the ship, extract the data, set bombs throughout the ship and the rest is history. At least unlike "another one" who failed, I at least made sure not to go away empty handed." Glyde responded. He tried to move but winced in intense pain after Teisel's epic moment of awesome.
"Excellent. At least this along with the Burma crystal gemstones will provide me what I require to build even more plans." Wily walked around with the disk in tow. "And now that Mega Man no longer has a ship, I have the advantage now. Glyde, begin repairs on the Birdbots. I must prep up my next operation." Glyde simply bowed as a gesture of loyalty. Before Glyde would leave, Wily had one other thing to say. "Oh and I suggest you patch yourself up. You look like a mess."
"As you wish Wily." Glyde turns and walks away all while trying to keep himself in one piece.. While that went on, Bass shows up. I can tell he's not pretty happy. All Wily could do was simply watch as Bass let out his anger. Looks like the roles have been reversed here.
"Damn that Mega Man! Damn him to hell!" Bass' shout startled almost everyone in the fortress. "Thinks he can run off to deal with FlashMan after a few hits? That coward!" Luckily, Wily tried to calm him down.
"There will always be next time. Right now, Mega Man and his friends are at a disadvantage. They have just experienced two failures… one after the other. Despite his success in defeating FlashMan, he has failed in protecting the crystal mine." Wily presses a button on his main computer causing something to appear on the screen.
"So these must be the Burma gemstones isn't it? I hear that they rake quite a lot of money in the black market." Wily nods after hearing Bass. "What are you planning to do with all of these?" Fortunately, the evil scientist already has a plan up his sleeve.
"It's quite simple. Thanks to Glyde, I have been able to set up a few "connections" with some key figures. They will provide me the money I need and in exchange, I offer these." Connections? Glyde must really know his way around.
"And you think that these 'connections' will help you get the money you need? I don't think it'll be enough. Besides, the destruction of that airship is causing a serious hurting in the monetary department. I don't think we have enough to make another one of that caliber." Wily didn't mind about it one bit.
"That is of little concern to me. I can always make another with the money I will eventually acquire. However right now, I have much bigger plans." Bass wonders about what Wily said.
"What are you insinuating doctor? As you know Mega Man is at a disadvantage right now. The same goes for his friends after that stint at New Light Airport. I believe the best option available is to attack. Why aren't you taking this chance?" Bass' words became fierce. "It would be perfect and once they're down for the count, nothing will stop us from controlling this pathetic excuse of a world. It would be perfect." But yet Wily doesn't seem to get the message.
"No. I choose not to attack." Wily responded. Hearing that made Bass appalled in shock. I can tell the anger is kicking in right now.
"WHY! Why the hell won't you listen to reason?" Wily's face remained calm as Bass continued on with his nasty tirade. "At this moment, Mega Man and his friends are at their weakest state. We can steamroll them without so much as a simple effort. Once we get rid of them, the world is ours! So what are you waiting for? Let's do this!" Bass shouted nearly filing the room with his voice.
"If we were to succeed, there's no fun in destroying them while they are at a weakened state. It would be too easy." Wily got up and continued to explain things to Bass. "Even though I can be a mad scientist, I have my limits and I would prefer to defeat them when they are their full strength. That will bring me the true satisfaction I will have when I destroy him and his pathetic friends. And once they're out of the way, the world will be mine!" He goes on to laugh in his usual fashion. Hearing this however seems to rub Bass the wrong way.
"It's no wonder you keep failing to defeat Mega Man… because you've gotten too soft! You've had every opportunity to take over this planet by force but no you never take these chances." Wily's smile would soon downgrade. "I think it's because you still have a sort of respect for that pest. Is it because you experienced your first defeat? Is it because you were once his friend? Or is it because of the fact that of all the people in the world, HE would be the one who showed appreciation to you. So what is it? Tell me? I want to know so it can give me more of a reason to kill him!" After hearing Bass' little tirade, Wily went up to his face providing a response of his own.
"Do you wish to know why I don't take that chance? Why I don't finish him off like you would want me to do? Why I would rather bide my time for a chance?" Wily said. Bass simply nodded. "I'll tell you why. Despite the fact that Mega Man, no… Robert Light is my enemy, he is also my friend."
"After everything you've done to him and his family, what makes you think he'll still consider you as a friend. Tell me!" Wily knows that Bass is a persistent one.
"You will never understand Bass. I doubt you ever will because if you did, why do you think he did what needed to do to save your life?" Wow. Never thought he remembers the time I had to do the unthinkable. "Maybe that can provide you a reason why I wouldn't finish the job. Now then, I must be off. I have other plans to attend to." Wily walked off with the disk in tow leaving Bass alone. Hearing the mad scientist's words conflicted Bass.
Why? Why the hell are you making me remember that? I don't want to remember that! You know what? Fine. If you won't take him down, then I will! Bass then had a look of anger realizing Wily's lack of understanding simple logic. Walking off, he decides to take matters into his own hands.
During Wily's usual walk, someone really fast came racing about hoping to get his attention. He looked around to see but nothing was there. He kept walking and then it happened again. Wily this time was prepared and decided to use his cane in case it tried to run past him. So he kept walking but when the same guy showed up, he used his cane to block his path. To Wily's surprise, it was QuickMan. Guess he got a bit bored not doing something so he decided the best way to have some fun is to be on the move. Too bad it got Wily's attention in a very negative fashion.
"If you're going to do that, do it when I'm not on the move!" Wily shouted causing QuickMan to whimper. "Now then, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Uh, yes of course. I need something to do." He then sped off speaking in his usual rapid tone. "AirMan was beat, CrashMan went boom and FlashMan got stopped in his tracks. Come on Wily! I need something to do. Knowing that blue pest, he'd probably go after me if I occupy some important place." QuickMan kept moving around in his hyperactive fashion. It was all Wily could really bear.
"Then in that case, why have you occupied the location I've given you?" Wily shouted. QuickMan just stopped wondering about it. "Well, why haven't you!"
"Never thought of that." Wow, did QuickMan's IQ really dropped that low? Guess they forgot their smart pills.
"What are you waiting for you idiot? Get over there and occupy it NOW!" QuickMan didn't need to hear anything else. He was already gone.
Wily simply let off a sigh after seeing that. It's stuff like that that makes me feel bad. What am I saying? Why should I be showing pity for a guy like that? He's a bad guy! He then walks off hoping to have a rendezvous with some "clients". Who are they? I really don't know but whatever they are, they can prove to be some serious bad news. At least he doesn't have to worry about that fast-talking speed demon anytime soon.
Light Residence – Five hours later…
"AHH!" The sound of Teisel's screaming was heard throughout the house. We all stopped to wonder what happened.
"Teisel, what's going on?" Tron and I went upstairs to see. When we did, all we could do was try not to laugh. His face was covered in makeup and the utter shock of finding out he had it all over was simply ear shattering.
"Nothing Tron, I… what's with your faces?" We both tried to keep ourselves from laughing. "Does it have to do with how I look now?" We nodded at him.
Teisel simply walked off hoping to at least try to control his anger. When he was out of sight, we just simply laughed our asses off. I swear, Higsby did a really good job giving Teisel a makeover. It's too bad that this is going to lead to some trouble. After the laugh, we both tried to calm each other down and checked to see what would happen next. We saw Teisel heading to the basement. Too bad Higsby had to head upstairs so he can get a drink.
"Hey Teisel… nice makeup by the way. You look kind of cute." Higsby giggled hoping to contain his laughter. This guy really is doing a bad job at it because he goes straight into laugh mode.
"Didn't think you'd stoop this low to do this do you?" Teisel responded. Higsby went into straight out laughter. All Tron and I could do was just watch. We were SO not going to like this.
"I'm serious Teisel, you really look good." He tried to contain his laughter. It only made Teisel angrier. I can tell for sure Higsby is going to be in trouble.
Teisel let out a yell that symbolizes his epic moment of awesomeness. What happened next really shows what not to do against a guy like him. He races at Higsby yelling, "I AM A MAN!" and delivering a punch straight into his jaw. If that wasn't enough, he goes for another one hitting him in the stomach. Let this be a lesson people. If you piss off someone like Teisel Bonne, prepared to get yelled at by someone saying "I AM A MAN" and getting punched in the gut. And yes, this works for women too. I'm not kidding.
"You… you jerk! I only wanted to have a little fun with you moron. Can't you take a joke?" Higsby said trying to ease all the pain that Teisel dished out at him. To let you know, Dr. Light and Higsby got TimeMan repaired but he's at the moment offline.
But Higsby (being a bit clever) decided to pull a cheap trick. He gives Teisel a low blow and boy it had to hurt. The two were wincing in pain but they really wanted to beat the heck out of each other. At this point, I've had enough and I decided to get myself involved. Seeing the two there really was something I don't want to see.
"Teisel, Higsby, this has to stop!" I went to the kitchen taking a wet paper cloth and used it to clean Teisel up. Higsby tried to get up but the pain was too much for him to handle.
"I swear. You two will one day kill each other and I don't think we want that." Tron responded. "Come on Higsby. Let's get you to the couch." Once Teisel's face was cleaned, I went to help Tron. We both were able to put him on the couch. I only hope the two don't try anything stupid.
"Higsby, about the repairs I…" Dr. Light went from talkative to being silent. Judging by his face, he didn't like what occurred here. "Whar's going on?"
"Higsby pulled a prank on Teisel by covering his face with makeup and when Teisel found out, he screamed like a crazy guy. So he went after the one who did it and due to Higsby's bad job at keeping a straight face, Teisel pulls off his 'epic moment of awesome' hurting Higsby but the geek decide to pull off a cheap shot by dishing a low blow." Hearing that seemed to give my gramps all he needed to know.
"I'll… deal with Higsby personally a little later. In the meantime, I've already completed repairs on TimeMan." That was a relief. "As for Teisel, I think you can handle this Tron. Robert, I need to speak to you." I nodded after hearing Dr. Light's response. While Tron took care of things in the living room, my gramps and I went downstairs to chat.
"What's up grandpa?" I said, "What do you want to tell me?" I listened to Dr. Light as he spoke.
"I just received a phone call earlier from the US Government. Apparently, someone has occupied a location called Area-42FB." Dr. Light replied. "They didn't provide me much information about it but they said that this is serious."
"Area-42FB? I'll see if I can look into it. However, I'm not fully charged and the battles that have happened today have driven all of us to exhaustion. I'll make sure to take care of things in the morning. Right now, I need rest." I opened a compartment in my arm showing him my energy reserves.
"I see. Your power is around 60%. I think you're right Robert. Rest up then but remember, you need to be where I specified first thing in the morning." It's a good thing gramps didn't see me shudder.
"Yes gramps." I spoke sarcastically. But then I went on to say, "Gramps, you haven't been helping out as much. What have you been up to?"
"I've already told you before. I'm not allowed to tell anyone what it is. It's considered top secret. I apologize if I haven't but since last week, we've been hard at work on something special. The reason why I'm prohibited to tell you is because of Wily." Yeah. With Wily, it's hard to keep secrets.
"So because of Wily, I'm not allowed to know. Way to make it hard for me. In fact, it's been hard as it is because Wily's new robots have already driven me nuts. I already defeated three but it feels like I've dealt with a lot more." I let off a sigh. "At least I'm grateful that I can get a break from all this fighting."
"I am grateful as well. For now, you shouldn't worry about it. Rest up and hopefully tomorrow, you'll be back on your feet." Dr. Light replied. I was heading upstairs when I saw Tron heading downstairs.
"How's Teisel? Is he alright?" She nodded. I was at least pleased about that. "I'm only hoping that Teisel nor Higsby do anything like that ever again. I swear, their fighting isn't making things easier."
"Don't worry, I already warned him. Besides, he left to go see Denise." What? This got me curious.
"Denise? Since that mess a few hours back, she hasn't called nor wrote nor sent any e-mails. I'm like what the heck is going on?" We all were worried for her.
"Yeah. I heard from her mom that she's really depressed." Tron lets out a dejected sigh. "I'm worried for her."
"Me too. By the way, what brings you to head downstairs? Got something planned?" I asked. Tron gave me a nod.
"Yeah. Some of the Servbots were able to recover some parts from the wrecked airship. I was thinking we can make some stuff out of it. Want to help?" I nodded after hearing Tron's response.
I followed her as we went to a portion of the lab. She had some Servbots accompanying her for this project. Once everyone was accounted for, Tron laid out the details. She first showed us a blueprint of some kind of walker. I didn't know what it was but it got me curious.
"Uh Tron, are we gonna be building this? I mean, it looks… kind of weird." It isn't just weird. One look at the blueprint tells me it's strange.
"It isn't weird Robert. Take it from me because I know how to build stuff like this. Now then, Numbers 14 and 18. Bring in the parts!" demanded Tron. They came in with a wheelbarrow full of stuff. "Now then, what you're seeing here is some parts leftover from the wreckage of the airship. I had them recover whatever they can because I thought it would be useful for something."
"And that's why you're building this?" I asked and Tron nodded. "Cool. I'll need all the help I can get at this point… because Gramps has been too busy with his stuff back at the Labs."
"Don't worry about Dr. Light. Just focus on me..." She went closer to me and said, "For my sake." She planted a kiss on my lips. It was soft but it helped me get back to reality.
I simply let out a nod. Tron smiled and ordered her Servbots to get to work. She wanted to make sure I put more focus on this than worrying about Dr. Light. How can I when he's so secretive? Back in Arc I, he was always there helping me out. Sure, we argued a couple of times but he helped me prep myself for when Wily's robots would attack. However, with him now having new bots, he's busy with other crap. I know for sure he's hiding something and I'll get to the bottom of this. For now, I'm just going to help Tron and get this done. At least she understands my feelings… though I wonder if she knows what I'm like when I'm angry. That wouldn't be pretty.
2852 East 28th Ave, 7th Floor, Apartment 725 – 9:52 PM
It took Teisel a while but he was able to relieve himself of the pain he felt thanks to Higsby. Normally, people who live in this city during the night are either working late shifts or going out to have a good time. Teisel however is here for another reason. Since the disaster at New Light Airport, Denise has been in a complete slump. I'm not kidding. She didn't accept any calls, didn't respond to any e-mails and hell, she didn't show up for work. All she had done was lock herself in her room not so much as even for a simple bathroom break. Her parents did whatever possible to help their daughter but to no avail and not even her BFF could help her. Knocking on the front door, Teisel hopes to see if he can try.
"Go away! I don't want to talk to anyone!" hollered Denise. Her voice was fierce but was filled with sorrow. Teisel was persistent. He wanted to help her.
"Come on Denise, I know you're in there. Open up!" Teisel knocks on the door again. It got her annoyed.
"Leave me alone! Don't you get it!" Teisel tries again and that was going to annoy Denise. She gets up from her bed and checks to see who it is.
"I told you once and I'll tell you again! I don't want any…" To her surprise, she opens to find Teisel Bonne who's wearing something fancy, carrying flowers and a box of chocolates. "Teisel, what are you doing here?"
"What else would I be here for? I'm here for you. Can I come in?" Teisel spoke. Denise was speechless by seeing this. However, her depression kicks in despite Teisel's kindness.
"I'm sorry Teisel but I don't want to see anyone right now." Denise replies, closing the door. But Teisel puts his foot in the way preventing her. "What are you doing?"
"What else? I want to talk to you. Please, let me inside." Teisel exclaimed. Denise then had an angry look in her eyes.
"I've already told you this twice. Don't make me repeat it again. I don't want to see anyone! Please leave… NOW!" Enough was enough. Teisel decided to push his way in. Seeing that scared Denise wondering what he would do.
"Now that I'm inside, it's only fair that we talk." He puts the flowers and candy on the table. Looking at Denise, he decides to tell her how he feels about this mess. "Denise, are you still beat up over this? You're not the only person who feels down. We are too. Trust me. Robert feels down because despite defeating one of Wily's bots, they were able to clean out the Burma mine. Tron feels down because of you. Heck, I feel down because of you…" He then looks at the person reading this and says, "Not that it matters because I gave Glyde a piece of my mind." He snickers. "But anyway, the point is that it isn't just you need to let it go and move on. One day especially a bad one isn't going to kill you."
"How can I let it go?" shouted Denise, "I thought we took care of all the bombs but when the ship blew up, I realized that I was missing one more." The thought of it made Teisel ticked. "Don't you see? I've let everyone down. I was given a job to do and I blew it. Dad getting involved only made it worse." Her response made Teisel a bit curious.
"He didn't make it worse. He only wanted to help you Denise. That boss of yours was a real dirt bag. Having you take the blame is just unacceptable! If anything, he should be the one responsible not you!" Teisel shouted. His words scared Denise a little.
"You may be right Teisel… but I still blame myself for this. I really do. I… I let everyone down." Denise responded, "That's why I'm done. I'm done. I quit. I can't do this anymore! Tomorrow, I call it quits. I don't want to be an officer anymore!" yelled Denise. Hearing that Denise would quit made Teisel shocked.
"What? You're quitting!" That's when his instincts kicked in. "You can't! You're the daughter of a third-generation Marmalade! You and your sister! If you quit, how are you going to make them proud? You're not just letting yourself down. You're letting your family down. You're letting your friends down. You're going to let EVERYONE down! Is this what you want?" Teisel said, but Denise didn't care.
"I don't care Teisel. I'm done. I've had it!" Denise shouted yet again, "All I ask is that you leave me alone okay? I really don't want to deal with this." She lets off a sigh and walks away to her room.
I'm not giving up on you Denise. It isn't your fault. I swear it. I won't rest until I find a way out of your little mess or my name is not Teisel Bonne. It isn't going to be easy Teisel, I assure ya. After that little outburst, Teisel then puts the flowers and chocolates on a table nearby and then leaves.
Closing the door behind him, he lets off a sigh. I can tell something is up with him. Whatever it is, I don't know but him trying to help Denise is just a start. I swear, today has been nothing but pure unadulterated hell. Sure, we may be down for the count but the fight isn't over. Wily may be laughing his ass off that he succeeded today but we know we'll get him. We just need to get back to full strength. Then and only then, Wily along with his robot masters and Glyde will get what's coming. Once they're taken care of, we'll be the ones that will be doing the laughing especially at them. Just you wait Wily… just you wait.
Outside Area-42FB – 10:04 AM, the next morning
After a good night's sleep along with a much-deserved breakfast, I was already on my way. The info I received from Dr. Light told me that someone had occupied a location called Area-42FB. What is Area-42FB? Well, I don't know much about it. From what my grandpa can tell me, this place is a top-secret facility occupied by the US Government. Knowing them, I ain't allowed to reveal any secrets regarding this place. It wouldn't really matter anyway trust me. I arrived at where gramps told me getting a look around.
So this is Area-42FB. I thought there'd be someone to meet me… can't worry about it now. Got to get to work. I raced my way inside the place.
What I saw turned my suspicions upside down. It was nothing but a simple building, abandoned at most. I wondered if my grandpa was pulling a fib on me. Something wasn't right so I decided to contact him.
"Gramps, are you there? This place isn't what you told me. Worse is that no one is here." I spoke through the com-link. However, I ended up getting a response from someone I didn't expect coming.
"Your grandfather isn't here, Robert. He just left. It's me, Tron." Tron? Now this is really getting me curious. "I apologize but I'm afraid he went off for that little meeting of his." Seriously? Oh well, at least this is better than nothing.
"I knew it. Anyway, are you getting what I'm seeing on your end?" I walked carefully getting a look at the area. As I walked, someone from far away was looking at me. He then moved about quickly hoping not to attract my attention.
"Yeah, it looks like just a building. I know there should be something that would let you enter the deeper levels. Activate your X-Ray mode." I did that and Tron got a better look. "I see something straight ahead. Can you check it out?"
"Sure." I ran straight ahead and saw a couple of boxes stacked like a tower. "Sweetheart, all I see are a stack of boxes and inside are some junk. Where is it?" Tron simply shook her head.
"Ever tried looking down?" I did that and my X-Ray optics saw what appears to be a hidden door. "I see a hidden door. Move the boxes and see if you can open it." I wonder if this is how she does this with her Servbots.
"Okay, I'll do that." Turning off the X-Ray on my optics, I moved some of the boxes aside. What I saw was a hidden door that was locked down tight by an advanced combination lock. "Tron, there's a door and there's an advanced lock holding it down."
"Is that so? Try inserting something inside the lock. I'll see if I can decipher it." I pressed a button on the lock causing it to open up. It showed a screen and a keypad but the lock was still closed tight.
Tron takes out a decrypter and connects it to the basement lab computer. She pressed a few buttons causing the screen to show some letters and digits. I simply waited in the meantime. I had no idea that someone was watching me wait. He had a smile on his face and simply moved about in a rapid pace. When he did move though, something next to him fell on the floor. I turned to see what it was.
"What was that?" Looking around, I couldn't find out who it was. "Oh, just some metal box. Any luck on the decryption Tron?" Back at the basement lab, Tron worked her hardest to hack the lock.
"This one is a toughie Robert. That lock you're seeing is highly encrypted. This is going to take a while because I have already blew through three levels of access." In the span of basically 80 seconds, wow.
"How long will it take you to hack it?" I asked, "Because something tells me that I'm not the only person here. I'm going to have a look around." I decided to walk around getting a view of the place.
"I should have that lock hacked to the core in about two minutes…" She looks to find Bon playing with the Servbots. "Provided that I don't get any interruptions." I only hope she doesn't.
I calmly walked around the facility. Most of the place was filled with boxes of junk, rooms where most of the computers were either offline or broken and the lights above were either dimmed or not working. I can tell this here is making me nervous. My buster was aimed in different directions because if someone showed up, I have to be ready. But the mystery intruder moved about rapidly.
I know someone is here. I can feel it. No, I can sense it. I kept myself cautious. It's like a game of chess in this place. It's either you outwit them or they outwit you.
This mystery intruder saw me move about quietly. He then sped about hoping to not make any noise. All it did was watch and not do a thing. It kept moving at a rapid pace and watching me walk about. I had my buster set in case it decided to reveal itself. Tron meanwhile was still trying to decrypt the lock. At this point, she was sweating and the built-in pressure was driving her nuts.
Damn it! This lock is getting harder to decrypt. I'm already down to Level 1 access and this is making me go nuts. But then something happened. Her screen says "SUCCESS". "Alright! I did it. Now to deactivate the lock."
I turned around and heard something beep. The lock that held the door down was released. Nice work Tron. I pushed the lock aside and was able to open it. I saw ladder steps that went down but I wondered where they led me. But I know that someone is watching me… waiting.
"Robert, what's wrong? Why aren't you heading down?" I didn't respond. I just stood there. Whoever is stalking me knows that if I move, he'll attack. "Robert?"
I know you're here… you just want me to move so you can attack me. I'm not stupid. I didn't do a thing. I just simply turned my head and saw the distance in front of me.
Most of the room was dark so I couldn't see what's past me. Luckily, whoever was watching me doesn't know I have my eye on him. He quickly moved about in the darkness. My sight couldn't be able to determine where's he at. I decided to instead rely on my other senses. Closing my eyes, I let my hearing determine things. Tron had no idea what I was doing but a look on the screen may give her an idea.
What is Robert doing? He's just standing there. There isn't anyone there. Unfortunately Tron, someone is here. I'm just waiting for the right moment to strike.
That opportunity came when that speedster ran past a tower of boxes. However, one of the boxes fell causing a loud CLANG. It was all I needed to hear. Aiming my buster in a different direction, I fired. The shot hit its mark striking the intruder and dealing damage. So much for being alone in the dark I guess. It then ran off again into the darkness but I know that if he tries anything funny, I'll get him.
"Show yourself! I know you like to hide behind the darkness but your speed can't be able to stop me!" My shout was heard throughout the room. I know he can hear me. But then… he responded by laughing and moving rapidly.
"Nice job dweeb. I didn't think you got me in all this darkness I set up. I need to do better for sure." Never thought I'd be hearing a quickster in a place like this.
"Maybe if you stopped running, then we can at least have a fair fight. Don't you think?" Knowing him, he probably wouldn't want that.
"Aw, where's the fun in that? If we fought now, then it would be a complete bore and I don't want that." So what do you want then? "If you want a fight, see if you can try to keep up." His speed was seen all over but I turned to find him. "Whassup, blue boy. Didn't think I'd finally see ya."
"So you must be one of Wily's robots. If I know the doctor, you're based off one of my grandpa's robot masters right?" He nodded at me. Guess I was spot on with that assumption.
"That's right. I'm based off your friend the thunder god but unlike him, I'm faster, stronger and can run circles around ya easily." Thunder god? He must mean ElecMan. "But you're wondering who am I? I'm QuickMan and as they say, I'm quick as a whip." I saw him dash about at high speed. One second he was behind me and the next second, he appeared in front of me again.
"QuickMan huh? You sure look a bit hyper. But still, what's your beef with this place?" I spoke as my eyes were darting all over the place.
"Me? Nah, I just got orders to occupy the place. Didn't think I'd be expecting you to come here." QuickMan replied. He raced at high speed moving about. I simply just stood there not doing a thing. "But now that you're here. How about we play a little game? You were able to open the lock but let's see if you can keep up. If you can make it past my obstacle course without so much as getting yourself killed… then you'll win the honor of facing me. What do you say? Got what it takes?" He continued speeding about. It didn't take me that long to make a decision.
"If it means to shut you up and shut ya down, I accept." QuickMan was ecstatic by my choice. "So what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"Not so fast kid." I saw him appear in front of me. "You need to go through this first." He used something to rip the door open. "Let's see if you can keep up blue brat. That is… if you can." He then dashed into that opening.
"Be careful Robert. That bot may have you walking into a trap." Tron said over the comlink.
"Even so, I have to get down there and take him out. Just keep your eyes on what I see okay?" Tron nodded after I spoke. She was worried but I assured her not to worry.
Racing into the opening, I dropped down about 50 feet before hitting solid ground. I walked a bit forward seeing nothing but an abyss. But I couldn't get careless. I took the plunge freefalling down however, something wasn't right. Reaching the ground below, I saw some holes on the wall. It got me curious so I went to check. But then I heard a sound that made me cringe. A beam suddenly came firing toward me at a rapid pace. I raced as fast as I could but fortunately I saw a ledge and took it dropping down even more. But then, more of those weird beams fired. Move, move, move was all I had to say on this.
"Robert, I analyzed one of those beams and they are deadly as hell." Pressing some buttons on the keyboard, she decided to tell me what they were. "It's as I suspected. You're inside an underground force beam factory."
"A force beam factory? Then why the hell would Wily be interested in a place like this? I mean seriously, if the US Government were behind stuff like this then why?" Tron let off a sigh. I'm a guy that has a lot to ask about.
"I really have no idea. Anyway, these force beams are deadly as hell. One hit from that and you're screwed. Be careful Robert because QuickMan may have put you in a death trap." If it isn't obvious already, I AM in a death trap.
"Okay. I may have to go full throttle for this." I kept moving quickly dodging force beams aplenty. They fired in a quick pace forcing me to move fast.
Passing through them easily, I couldn't help but wonder who would be doing this. Farther down was QuickMan actually activating them and setting them so when I appear, they would fire and fry me. He simply chuckled and kept moving quickly. It's a race against time because those things wanted to give me a death sentence. Tron saw in the map back in the laboratory that I was speeding through this like it was nothing. Funny, makes me wonder if I was going through this in a video game.
Those force beams are coming fast… But she looks downward to see someone at the bottom. Looks like someone beat Robert to it. Be careful because if you get hit just once, you're dead. Before she could react, one of the Servbots came to talk to her.
"Uh Miss Tron?" She was startled by Number 19's voice. Turning, she went to see. "Um, Master Teisel called. He says that he's going to visit Miss Denise's dad."
"Huh? Mister Marmalade? What's Teisel doing?" Tron asked. Servbot #19 couldn't find the right words. "Well, what's he doing?"
"Um, I think he wants to help Miss Denise after yesterday." Hearing this made Tron a little concerned.
Help my BFF? Hmmm, this isn't like Teisel at all. Why is he helping her? I know he went to check up on her yesterday and told me about it. So why is he going to meet with her dad? Something isn't right. I know it. She looks at Servbot #18 with a concerned face. "Listen up. You along with two others must find out what Teisel is really up to. Once you find out, report back to me. Understand?"
"Y-yes Miss Tron." Servbot #18 ran off. Tron got to see some of the other Servbots play with Bon. She then turned to see the map and I've already gotten through most of the force beams.
I had gotten a needed reprieve from that obstacle course but I was far from finished. I got a look down and saw most of the walls are covered with force beams. If I were to sum up what I would say in eight words or less, it would be this: QuickMan's deep pit of angry laser death. Yes, QuickMan is two separate words but I could care less about it. The main point is that I have to deal with the second half of an obstacle course full of death.
What were they thinking? Seriously… what the fuck were they thinking? Taking a deep breath, I took the plunge and jumped down. Hitting a platform, I kept moving.
The beams were flying all over the place and if I got hit by even one of them, I'm screwed. I dropped from outcrop to outcrop evading every one of those beams. After jumping the last ledge, I took a free fall down getting a good view of what was in front of me. I turned to see the last of the force beams striking the wall. Letting off a sigh of relief, my focus now was on that annoyingly rapid rushing, fast-talking, lightspeed robot master. I then landed on the ground below and saw a path straight ahead. Racing toward it, I heard the sound of someone moving fast. Turns out he was expecting me huh?
"Impressive. I didn't think you had it in ya Mega Man. Looks like you passed the obstacle course and without so much as a single scratch." QuickMan kept blabbing about all while moving at high speed. It was enough to get me annoyed as hell.
"I don't need the praise right now. Can we get straight on to the fighting? That obstacle course just killed my patience." He stopped dashing about and saw me ticked.
"Party pooper." Replied Quickman. He raced toward me and decided to stop being all fast and quick speaking to me in a normal tone. "I'm sorry dude but did I seem to get you ticked? Geez, you really are no fun. No wonder Wily gets angry every time one of my brothers is taken down by your hands."
"I already beat three of you guys. What difference does it make if I take you down next?" Guess he's decided to go all quick again moving rapidly throughout the room.
"Well unlike them… I know just where to take you down." He raced straight toward me delivering a punch to my stomach. I had absolutely zero time to react from that. "Bub, they don't call me QuickMan for nothing."
He moved about at a rapid pace delivering punches at several portions of my body. They hurt a lot mostly because I'm unable to counter them. For someone who is fast on his feet, he really delivers the pain. He continued on with his attack but with each blow I take helped me determine when he'll strike again. It was what I needed to at least try to fight back.
"What's wrong? Can't keep up against my speed? Am I too fast for you?" He continued speeding about in a rapid pace. I just simply stood there waiting. "Huh? What are you doing? Are you gonna fight or what?"
I just stood there waiting for him to make a move. Since he's always on the move, he thought that I would do nothing. It's too bad I'm following a simple rule when taking on bad guys that rely on methods like these. My eyes were shut giving my other functions such as hearing a boost. He kept moving around but knowing him, he'll get careless and when he does… I'll strike!
"Screw this! I'm taking you down right now!" He turned and raced toward me. That was his mistake.
Gotcha. Turning my Buster into a WideBlade, I let out a slash striking QuickMan. He slowed down reeling in pain giving me the chance to unleash another attack. "You're mine!"
Racing at him, I launched a volley of slash attacks. QuickMan dodged most of them but one of them struck him on the side of his waist. I then followed it up with a tackle attack sending him to the ground. I was set to fire a shot from the Mega Buster but he sped off evading it.
"What's wrong? Running away? I thought you wanted to fight but instead you're licking your wounds like a tortured puppy." I was looking around and saw he wasn't there. I went forward hoping to see but then he moved around again at breakneck speeds.
"I give you credit for actually making a mark on me. However I still have plenty of fight left. Let's see how you dance. Quick Boomerang!" From his hands, he launched an entourage of small boomerangs.
They were fast as hell and like him I had to move fast to evade them. One of them struck my head making me lose my footing. Within seconds, these boomerangs were bombarding me. I was on the floor trying to get them off me. With me at a disadvantage, QuickMan raced at me to attack but I got out of the way. I used my Mega Buster to fire a few shots hoping that at least one would hit him where it hurts. Due to his high speed, I couldn't get a clean shot. To make matters worse, the strain of this fight was causing my energy levels to drop.
Power levels dropping to 60%. I don't know if I can handle anymore of this. I was breathing heavily due to the drop in energy.
"You're good blue dweeb. Real good. Let's see if you're prepared for this. Boomerang Blade!" Summoning a large Quick Boomerang, he raced for me to deliver a strike.
I evaded it and countered with a punch but his speed dodged my fist. He responded by smacking me with his weapon from behind. I got disoriented from the blow. QuickMan kept at it smacking me repeatedly. The hits caused damage to my armor leaving chips and marks. I couldn't do a thing. This guy was just downright relentless.
"Can't take the pain? You should know better!" He then raced back a bit and then dashed forward. He then jumped to pull off an overhead attack. I moved out of the way and countered with a hit to the back. It disoriented him but was quickly back on his feet.
He then raced to attack but not relying on my sight, I dodged his attack and countered by giving him a kick to the side. He then tried again but I simply dodged and countered. It got him annoyed so he tried a repeated assault. I didn't open my eyes so I just relied on my hearing. After evading most of his attacks, I countered with a punch to the face and with my own eyes open, conjugated a LongBlade and slashed him three times. The blows did a lot of damage to his internal systems. To make matters worse, it did a number on his speed systems causing it to short circuit.
"Huh? What's going on?" His body continued to feel pain. "I… I can't move fast anymore. What did you do to me?"
"I don't know. Maybe when I struck you with that LongBlade three times, it did a number on your circuits. I can tell because you're not fast anymore. What's wrong? Can't use your speed to strike me?" I continued to egg it on taunting him. It was enough to make him mad.
"Stop it! I don't want to hear anymore of this! You may have stripped me of my speed but I'm still fast with my mouth and my fists." Really QuickMan? Then how come this bot's not even trying?
"Is that so? Why don't you show me? Show me you're as fast as they say QuickMan?" But I really egged it on by saying this, "Unless you've lost your touch speedy." Hearing that got him aggravated. That's when I saw his body exhibiting some kind of acceleration.
"You say I've lost my touch didn't you…." QuickMan's body began to shake. "You say I'm too slow…" The shaking accelerated. Suddenly, all I saw was a blur that had a mix of red, black and yellow. "You say that I'm not as fast as I was huh? Well watch this!"
"Tron, if you're still there… what in the hell is going on with QuickMan?" I spoke through the com-link. Tron tried to figure out from what I was looking at.
"I'm afraid I got bad news Robert." Looks like she's skipping the good news. "It looks like QuickMan's entire body is speeding up considerably. Energy readings are off the charts." She then saw QuickMan disappear. "What's going on?"
"I have no idea. His entire body is accelerating. All I'm seeing is just a blur." If that wasn't enough, it started to dash around all over the place. His speed was so fast, that I was unable to get a good look.
"What just happened?" Tron asked. I right now couldn't find the right words to say. "Robert, what happened?"
"He's too fast… he's at the point where his entire body is energy itself. This is like the time I fought ElecMan!" My response startled Tron a little. Suddenly, I saw it attack me and I was hit real good. I ended up on the ground but QuickMan was far from finished.
"See this? SEE THIS! This is true speed! Now you'll see just how fast I've become. This will be the last thing you'll ever see for I will end this once and for all!" My eyesight couldn't keep up with a speed like that. He was going WAY too fast. "Now you die! Hypertime Chaos!" I got up after hearing that.
Suddenly, I felt like something hit me but it was to the point so fast that I could barely react. It wasn't the end of it because suddenly, I was struck again with another hit and then another. The hits just keep on coming and I felt pain from head to toe. It was so fast… and so hard that I was flying all over the place to the point that I was sent to the floor. I was reeling in pain that I really didn't know what the hell to do. I tried to get up but I got smacked around again. Boy, for a speed demon he really knows how to pack a punch. Goddamn!
"That's right mega wimp. Stay down! Don't even bother getting up because I'll just knock you down! Again and again!" I was grinding my teeth in frustration. If I were to get up, he'll take me down but if I don't, he'll just keep at it. It'll go on and on and on! But in the midst of all this, Tron's voice was heard in my comlink.
"Robert, what are you doing? Get up! You can't let him beat you!" demanded Tron. If only she knew that if I tried, I get my ass handed to me. She tried to come up with an idea but from the situation of things, it's not good.
"There has to be something I can do… but what? What should I do?" I muttered to myself these words as I tried not to get up. QuickMan kept dashing about it at speeds that are faster than light itself. I couldn't do anything and that got him annoyed.
"Staying down like the coward you are huh? How pathetic! Maybe I should persuade you to get up!" He dashed at me delivering a blow that sent me up and he delivered a repeated assault of jabs that damaged my face and body. It was absurd yes but damn it hurt badly. Power levels down at 20% and decreasing… if this keeps up I'm a goner!
Tron kept looking at the screen with worry, "Robert… Robert…" Her face began to fill with tears. It was all she could handle. That bot is going to trash Robert. If only time was on our side then Robert would give him what he deserves. Suddenly, what she said hit her like a ton of bricks. "Time… that's it! Robert, do you still have FlashMan's weapon?"
The last blow sent me flying to the floor and my power was already down to 15%. I heard Tron's voice again but I had no idea what's she saying. Suddenly, I heard it loud and proud. Hearing her say if I had FlashMan's weapon made me check. Fortunately I did and the funny thing about it is that I never used it. I wonder… why didn't I? But I had no time to worry about it.
"I hear ya Tron. Time to stop this guy in his tracks." I got up using whatever energy I had left. Switching into the Time Stopper, I took careful aim.
QuickMan wondered what I was doing and responded, "The hell you doing? There's no way you can get me from here. I'll just have to beat you down all over again!" He raced at me. My body felt weak and another beating like that would finish me off.
What in the hell are you doing Robert? Use it. Use it damn it! Tron looked on in worry and anger. All I did was aim my buster and I had the Time Stopper ready and set.
He raced at me at a fast pace. All I had was just a few seconds to make my move. If I connect then there's a chance but if not I'm screwed. With my eyes shut and my opponent on the verge of finishing me off, I took my chance and fired. A white flash emanated throughout the area lasting for a couple of seconds. I didn't move a muscle for fear that QuickMan would attack. But I didn't feel anything happening. When I opened my eyes, I saw QuickMan with a look of anger but also a look of fear. I walked for a bit and saw that he was stopped in his tracks. Heck, even Tron was shocked when she saw QuickMan frozen in place.
"Whoa… did it do all of this? Dang." I was surprised that it worked. I looked at my buster to find that I didn't have much time.
I switched to my Crash Bombs and fired four bombs; one for his head, his chest, his back and the back of his head. They began to beep and looking at my weapon gauge, it decreased rapidly. I swear, today has been one hell of a day. I went through an obstacle course full of evil lasers, picked a fight with a robot master that was fast with his words and his fighting and if that wasn't enough, this guy pulled a lightspeed attack nearly killing me. I wonder if this day can get any better or any worse? Looking again, the gauge was drained and QuickMan returned to being as fast as he was. However, he had no idea I had set bombs all over him. He looked to see but he didn't have time to react. This is what happens when you go way too fast because you won't be able to react to what's around you.
"Got to get them off! Got to get them off! Got to get them off!" It was all he could say because he went off in an explosion. His parts flew so far that it hit the forest and ended up becoming a pile of junk. I guess it's so long for the speed demon QuickMan.
Walking to where his remants were, I touched whatever was left of his head and copied his weapon, the Quick Boomerang. He used those a lot on me and now I'll be putting them to better use. However, my sight caught the eye of an Energy Tank that was on a higher ledge. Wanting to get it, I saw that it was high. I then remembered something from yesterday. Checking on my Mega Buster, I saw that I had something that had the number 3 on it. Pressing it gave me access to something I never thought I'd use. I fired a shot and it showed some kind of bouncing walker. It kept bouncing about for a bit until it hit the wall in front of me causing it to climb. Getting on top of it, I let this thing do the work guiding me up. It's too bad that it's going at a slow pace. I swear, Tron needs to up the ante with this thing.
"I see you're trying out the new item we made." Hearing Tron's voice gave me a sense of relief. Letting off a sigh, I felt good.
"Yep, I am. We spent most of the night working on this did we?" I asked. Tron nodded knowing we did.
"Uh huh. What you're standing on is a Wall Walker and this one will bounce about until it hits a wall. When it does, you can get on top of it and it'll let you reach the top wherever you go." Tron then tells me of something else, "However, I think it's a bit slow and it may take a while."
Tron doesn't have to tell me this twice because it took that Wall Walker a couple of seconds to reach the top. I was able to get my hands on the Energy Tank. Opening it, I drank the liquid that was inside. Within a couple of seconds, I felt my body refreshed. Even though I was at full strength, I felt like crap. The damage to my armor was basically to blame. What do you expect because the fight was literally a pain in the ass.
"Tron, can the teleportation chamber be able to pick me up from here?" I asked. She got to work checking to find out.
"Robert, I can. Get ready to head for home!" replied Tron. Pressing a few buttons, she was able to get things working. Within a few seconds, I was gone. I can't say the same for QuickMan's pile of remnant refuse.
With four robot masters defeated, I feel that I'm just one step closer to reaching the big bad Wily. There are three things wrong with all of this. The first is that I'm not getting much assistance. It's because my grandpa is busy with something that not even he would tell me about. Whatever it is, I'm going to find out eventually. At least the Bonnes are giving me the help I need. The second is that the stress is driving everyone to the breaking point. Denise was someone who got the worst having to end up in a depression as a result of what happened yesterday. I only hope Teisel can get her out of it before things go from bad to worse. And finally, the third… Wily. He may have gained a victory with yesterday's recent plans but knowing him, he'll be careless and when that happens, I'll be there to strike where it hurts. My family and I will make sure of it. The only thing I want to do now is rest up… I've had enough dealing with stuff like force beams to last me a lifetime.
