Notes from the Author: Okay folks, you're wondering what's up right? Well let's get this started with some details.
After I finished Arc 3 of Reawakened (which took me a year, don't remind me), I focused my time on getting a fic finally done and thank god for it. But that's not even the half of it. Do you want to know why? Because I consider this to be my personal failure. It's high time I tell you what it is and it's a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic story called Mare Do Well Meets Her Match. It started as an idea but it ended in a mess that I'm more than happy to put it past behind. At least with that, I can spend all the time I need getting this done. To let you know, that fic is my personal failure as a fan-fic writer and I vow never to write another "revenge fic" like that ever again. I mean that.
Anyway, this took me almost two weeks and I'm getting better at it. The only thing I need to do is be less distracted because with my YouTube thing and everything, it's hard. I really hope you guys don't mind because I promise not to phase out like I did before. I love Mega Man and I hate what Capcom has done to our lovable Blue Bomber. But to let you all know, I'm back and we're ready to rock on like never before. I hope you guys enjoy this fight. It's really long though if you feel that what I did for this chapter is a bit too much, let me know by PM and I'll see if I can fix it up to make it appropriate. Oh and if you find any errors, inconsistencies or any sort that makes what happened to Bass more humiliating than it should be, let me know and I'll fix it up. I still haven't fixed up Arc 3's corrections and I swear, I need to get myself in gear someday.
But enough talk, let's get the show on the road. Be sure to read, review and remember, you guys help make this story what it is and for that, I thank you. Toodles and enjoy.
Arc 4 – Reforms and Relationships Brewing
Chapter 1 – The Light Family Expands; Enter Rush and Roll
My name is Robert Light… I began as a human but ended up getting dragged into a war with no end in sight. Wily brought his new army but they weren't enough to stop me. I took him down and saved the day yet again. Sadly however, his actions nearly destroyed me along with the very family I loved. But now I'm reborn again and this time, I'm whole. I made amends and put the past behind us, for good. Although I feel that this fight is over, I know that a new one will surely begin. The cycle is endless but I must see to it that it stops today. After all, I am a 'defender of the human race'.
I am Mega Man… and this is my story.
Two months later… 10am…
"From the first studio of New Light City, it's time for your favorite morning talk show. We're Live with Rachel and Eddie!"
The audience sitting down were clapping and cheering as the hosts enter the set. Music is playing while they appear. One is a man in his late-30s with brown clean-cut hair, red eyes and wears a brown suit with a white-buttoned shirt inside and red tie. The other's a female in her early-20s wearing a red dress shirt, blue pants and black slippers. They take their seats with the audience being calm. Both hosts look at the video camera recording and they get started.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Live with Rachel and Eddie. I'm your host Eddie Estevez along with my lovely co-host Rachel Harper," He says.
"You're too kind Eddie. Today we have a show for you. We got a guest that everyone's dying to see," She replies, with a smile that can make some cringe.
"I couldn't agree more Rachel. You guys know him as New Light City's greatest hero! We already had him two months ago and now we have an update that you will see to believe. Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a big round of applause to one of my favorite guests. Give it up for the Blue Bomber, Mega Man!" He lifts her hand and the audience starts clapping.
I then show up and the crowd immediately goes wild with people whistling and cheering. If that isn't enough, much of the audience was holding up signs showing artwork of Mega Man. It's insane. I even see a group of audience members wearing shirts that spell "Megaman". My guess they're from the Official Mega Man Fan Club I've been hearing. Anyway, I sit down with the hosts and things begin quieting down. But I sense that by the time today's over, everyone will be talking about this for a long time.
"Thank you Mega Man. It's a big honor to have you here on our show," says Eddie. He shakes my hand being the casual host he is.
"Yeah, it is a big honor. Haven't been here since two months ago when the announcement came that I saved the world from Dr. Wily," I explain.
"It really has been two months. By the way, how have things been for you and your family? I heard that you had some problems," Rachel asks me.
"Yeah, I did. I had some family issues but they've since been resolved. But it's just another example of how the war affected me. Sure I can be a nice guy and everything but when someone pisses me off, expect some major fighting words," I answer, feeling tense.
"We only hope you got some much deserved R&R, Mega. Being a hero is a lot of work," Rachel advises though I've had some much-needed rest after doing so.
"Yes, but we brought you back today because you have an update for us. So tell us, how have things been for you? You do know you don't have to be in your battle armor all the time," Eddie requests. The idea of me being without all of this would work but I don't want to be all civilian in front of an audience.
"I appreciate that but things have been getting a lot better," Time for some plot exposition. I only hope those that are reading this don't mind the padding.
"Since Dr. Wily was captured for the second time, things have been better. I was able to make amends with my girlfriend and grandfather. You really don't want to know how I messed things up, believe me. Since then I've used the time to get myself back on my feet. That didn't stop me from doing my job as a hero. I have a reputation after all," I explain, though there's more to this than what I said.
"We know by your actions last week. You stopped a bank robbery without breaking a sweat. I only hope you didn't hurt them that bad," exclaims Eddie. Of course I didn't.
"Don't worry. Mostly minor injuries but like I said, I'm the type of guy that does my job. What's the worst that can happen? But anyway, I have been hard at work in New Light labs. A few others and myself are working on a project that hopefully will help revolutionize the field of robotics. Let's just say that what you're going to see is really something special and this is coming from a 3rd generation Light," I say optimistically.
"Really? Think you can tell us?" Rachel wonders.
"It's better you guys see for yourselves. We're working out some final kinks and we'll be good to go. You won't be disappointed," I needed to make sure no one knows about it. Even I got stuck with the NDA.
"And we're looking forward to it. A pleasure to always have you on our show Mega Man. Let's give a big round of applause to our hero, the blue bomber Mega Man!" Eddie says, getting the crowd fired up, "And we'll be right back!"
I hear the audience clapping and cheering for me. Sure it's to be expected but hey, I'm at least well known due to my actions in stopping Wily two months ago. Suddenly, everything turns off. It turns out it was a taping of when I was on their show… and that happened yesterday. Guess who was watching it? Me. Getting the picture here?
"Done enjoying your fifteen minutes of fame Robert?" I turn to see Tron looking at me saying that.
"Tron!" I reply, "Yeah, I am. Though to tell you the truth, it wasn't that great. I swear the press needs to give me a break. It's been like this ever since Wily got transferred to New Light Penitentiary last month."
"What do you expect?" She asks me, "You are the guy that did saved the world."
We both chuckle for a bit as I got up from the chair. I then hug her from behind and she responds by kissing my cheek. You know that we both have a lot of mushy moments. It's a relationship thing.
"Miss Tron, Master Robert. Doctor Light wishes to see you. He says it's time," Servbot #25 says to us.
"We'll be on our way now," Tron replies.
The two of us see Servbot #25 head off to play elsewhere. We both went downstairs to meet with Dr. Light. Guess the fruits of Dr. Light's work are about to be revealed. Two months have passed since I've saved the day and brought Dr. Wily to justice. Things have gotten a lot better with my family and burying the hatchet is one of them. Tron, my grandpa and I put the past behind us. All we care about now is making a better future. The war against Wily really put all of us through a major loop physically and mentally. Denise went through the worst to the point where she almost did the unthinkable. She never did though. Why? Because we convince her that stuff like suicide only brings more harm than good. All she said was that she needed help. Good news is that she did and after a month of psychiatric counseling, Denise is back to her normal self again. I forgot to mention that Denise has a boyfriend, Teisel. Every day I see the two together. They're inseparable just like Tron and I.
But anyway Denise made her resignation official the instant she started her counseling sessions. This led her father to begin an investigation to find out who's responsible for the abuse. Several officers (including her former boss) stepped forward and confessed. I always knew Mr. Marmalade as someone who is respected and feared. It was no exception as he enforced disciplinary action on them. Denise's old boss wasn't so lucky as he ends up without a job. From what I can tell, I heard he skipped town. The officers however handed over their badges and went to find new employment. It had to be done although Denise didn't like how it ended. There is some good news though for her. She found some new employment at a pawnshop. From what I've heard, things are going great. I'm happy that now Denise has a new job where people won't treat her like shit. At least that's a relief.
As for me well, I've been living a normal life despite being a celebrity. After I buried the hatchet with my family, Tron insisted that I attend anger management classes. After what I did to her, she's determined to make sure I don't pull something like that ever again. Took me about 2-3 weeks to complete the program and by the time it finished, I learned to control my anger a lot better. It's a good thing though because this woman is one tough cookie. I mean that. Anyway, Tron and I went downstairs to see Gramps. Ever since he found out the truth of what really happened, he now knows all along that Dr. Wily is no longer his friend. He's happy that I brought him to justice because it's my job. But he seems to take the truth a bit too well. So much so in fact that he really wants to make sure that Wily pays. Not that I blame him because I was pissed off too. But regardless, I hope that madman gets what's coming to him. Anyway, Dr. Light sees us arriving and he seems rather pleased.
"So what's up gramps?" I ask him, "Number 25 says that it's time."
He responds, "It is. I know you have been waiting but now, we are ready. After almost three months of work, it's finally ready."
"Three months for whatever's behind you huh? This should be good," I speak. Tron looks at me with an angry squint. "What?"
"No worries Tron. Robert has been waiting for too long so it's high time he knows," Gramps assures her.
He then moves back a bit revealing the results of his work. Two robots appear in front of me. One looks similar to a human female but the other looks like a canine, more or less. The female robot has long yellow hair tied in a ponytail (like mine), her skin is synthetic in white and I notice some kind of utility box on her left arm. In addition, her outfit seems interesting having a white short-sleeved shirt with matches of red. This also reflects in her pants having red on the side with white in the middle. She also has red leg guards that reach up to her knees. I can tell they're based off my design because I have the same thing.
"Wow. She looks pretty. You really know how to give robots a first impression grandpa," I compliment him.
"Well I try Robert," He calms himself and continues, "Anyway, I have designed this robot to handle simple tasks such as household chores. Her name is Rebecca Light, but you can call her Roll."
"Roll really does have a nice ring to it Dr. Light," replies Tron, "It suits her."
"Indeed and Robert, you can think of her as your sister," Sister? Wow Gramps. Just wow.
Anyway he presses a button that powers her up. We all see her activate for the first time. She starts up and her eyelids open. They reveal a pair of calm eyes with baby blue irises. We see her look around getting used to her environment. She sees Tron and I first followed by Dr. Light. Like a child coming into the world, she's curious. I step forward hoping to see if I can help her.
"Hello," I introduce, "I'm Robert Light. I'm your… brother."
"Brother?" She wonders.
"Yeah. I'm your brother," To prove it, I put my hand out for a handshake.
Roll notices this. She does the same taking out her hand. We both shake hands. Dr. Light is amazed seeing us do this.
"We're one big family," But then he remembers, "Oh and I forgot, I have one more surprise for you."
He then presses another button activating the robotic canine. I get a look seeing his eyelids open. Like Roll's, its eyes are also blue. It has red body armor with hints of pink and white in portions of its four legs. It has red paws and white circular joints on the sides. I also notice the helmet (looking like mine) also red. Gramps really did a good job but I notice him looking at me. I didn't say a word but then he starts running in all fours and before long, he tackles me to the ground licking my face. His short white tail wags back and forth. He barks loudly and his licking gets me happier with every second.
"Okay, stop with the licking," I plead, laughing, "Down boy, down."
Tron keeps her distance a bit, worried that the dog may attack if she intrudes. He notices her and heads closer. Her fear kicks in making things problematic.
"Down boy, now!" I order. I then look at Tron who's already scared, "It's alright."
"Is it… is it a real dog?" She asks, trying her hardest to be away from it.
"I forgot, you're afraid of dogs," I realize this, since it's been four years. Four years after Tron ran away from a dog that chased her.
"Not to worry Tron, he won't bite you. I designed him to be friendly," He assures her.
"Are you sure?" She sees Gramps nod.
So using whatever courage she has, Tron comes closer to the robot dog. He's already on all fours being happy. She gulps as Gramps, Roll and I watch her. I knew she's afraid of dogs but not to an extreme. This explains why sometimes she seems a bit abrasive when there's discussion regarding dogs. We see Tron gently touch it and it responds by licking her face. Her fears disappear almost immediately as he licks her face again.
"Aw, such a cute doggie. Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? You are!" Tron speaks.
"Guess that fear went out the window," I reply.
"Um, Dr. Light," asks Roll, "Who is that?"
"I guess things got a bit carried away," I see him walk closer explaining the robotic canine to us, "This here is Rush. I've worked on him alongside Roll. He's going to be your canine companion and transportation."
"Transportation? Really?" I wonder, "Alright. Let's see what he can do."
"Very well. Rush!" says Gramps, getting Rush's attention, "Jet Mode!"
Rush jumps away from Tron and while airborne, transforms his body becoming a jet-board complete with rocket propulsion on his backside. We were amazed seeing him do this but I notice Roll having her arm around me. It didn't bother me… yet.
"Alright then. Rush, Coil Mode!" Gramps instructs.
Rush turns back to normal and stands on the floor. We see him stand straight. His legs become unbending and firm and his back reveals a spring-action platform. We see Rush demonstrate some other skills such as turning into a marine vehicle and using its nose for bomb searching. It returns to normal and we all clap for our new friend.
"Unlike you who needs to drink energy cans, Rush eats these," Gramps shows us some kind of bone-shaped dog treat. It has a plus side on one end and a minus on the other, like a magnet.
"Aren't these Battery Biscuits?" I ask him.
He nods and replies, "They are. However these here are designated for Rush in mind. Think of it as some modifications so it can help Rush recharge after a long day."
Gramps tosses the treat in Rush's direction and like a good dog he catches it in his mouth eating it.
I kneel down petting my new friend, "I think the two of us are going to make some team, right boy?"
Rush responds by barking and licking my face again. I then turn to see my sister and smile. I don't know why but when I was human, I never had any siblings. I always lived my life alone though my grandpa has been helping me. But now that I find out that I have an actual sibling, I think it makes me feel rather happy. I look at Roll who smiles at me.
"You're my brother huh?" She says. I nod in response, "I don't know what to say."
"How about… pleasure to meet you, little sis," I then see my sister hug me.
"I love you big brother," But what she does next shocks even me.
She plants a small kiss on my lips. My eyes widen as she does this. I don't know what she's doing but something isn't right. Tron notices this almost immediately.
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?" She shouts. I wasn't doing anything. Both of us were already blushing.
"I wasn't doing anything. I just want to give my brother a kiss," Roll replies, explaining.
"Do you even have any idea that what you're doing is wrong?" She asks. Her tone becomes more volatile and angry. I don't like this.
"Look, Roll has no idea that what she's doing is wrong. She just been activated for more than 30 minutes and now you tell her that she's doing something bad?" I reply.
"That's not the point. What you're doing is incest and it's wrong." She spats back giving Roll a major chewing in discipline.
"But I had no idea. Why are you being so mean?" I see Roll argue with Tron. To face the facts, I'm in a rut. Tron's my girlfriend and Roll's my sister. I don't know which side to take.
"I'm not being mean. I'm here telling you that your brother is my boyfriend. So would you be kind enough to get off him please?" She asks him.
Roll does that and lets me go but I'm at least relieved. My only problem is that Tron notices my face blushing because of my own sister's kiss.
"And as for you, you need to show a bit more restraint! Do you really want me to punish you for doing this?" Tron asks me. Now I really begin to get annoyed.
"How about no!" I shout, but I take a deep breath and say, "Listen, I don't have time for this. I need to show Roll around the house. Maybe you need some time to cool off."
Tron doesn't say a word as I walk off with Roll. Rush quickly follows me and she gives me that angry stare. All that has happened surprises Dr. Light but he notices something off about Roll.
Strange. Roll's behavior seems very strange. I didn't program her to act like this. He then looks at an angry Tron but doesn't say anything. My guess saying something would piss her off.
"I don't like this," Tron mutters under her breath, "I really don't like this. I got my eye on you Robert."
She then walks off still fuming mad. Her eyes are on me and I know she's ready to catch me when I don't expect it. In the meantime, I give Roll a tour of the house. Despite the fact that my girlfriend is watching my every move, I pay it no mind. But then some Servbots appear catching our attention.
"Hi Master Robert," says Number 15, "Who is that?"
"Roll, these are some of Tron's Servbots," I introduce her before turning to them, "Number 15, this is my sister Rebecca Light."
"Just call me Roll. Pleasure to meet you. You are such cute little munchkins," Roll replies, going closer to one of them and touching it's cheek.
Her actions make the Servbots giggle and laugh. I was pleased though I know someone isn't. After some fun, we see them head off to play at the backyard. We then went to the living room where we mostly spend time watching whatever's on TV right now. After that come the upstairs bedrooms.
"This here Roll is going to be your room. We already have most of the area set up but it's going to take a week before everything's fully ready. At least you now have time to get yourself some rest," Roll listens to me explaining things.
But as the more I talk, the more Roll begins to show interest toward me. I know something in my gut that it isn't good. Tron knows this for sure. She's watching while I explain things to her. Like a hunter waiting for the hunted, she waits. She knows that something's up. She keeps looking at Roll who becomes more enticed by me. This alone is going to lead to something real bad. I know it.
"And that's about it. Hope you enjoyed the tour because now, I got work to do. If you need me, I'll be I think downstairs in the living room. Let's go Rush," I speak.
Before I was able to leave, Roll grabs my hand. I turn to see her smiling at me, not saying a word. Tron's fingers begin to tighten her shoulder. Her instincts are ready to kick in the instant Roll tries anything.
"Roll, what are you doing? Why are you touching my hand like that? If it's relating to you kissing me, I don't think that's a good idea." I explain.
"It's not that… well, I want to thank you. I really mean that and I thought well," She heads closer and my worry already begins to increase.
Her eyes close and her lips start puckering up. I know where this is going. My bad feeling just gets worse. Before Roll tries to place her lips on mine, the sound of Tron's snarl interrupts her focus. We both turn to see her already fuming mad. I imagine her with some sort of symbol on her head. That would really be a bad thing to see.
"Get off my boyfriend," orders Tron. Her tone is cold but when she notices my sister not letting go, it intensifies, "I said get off my boyfriend."
"Tron, what the hell are you doing?" I ask her.
"Stay out of this Robert!" She shouts, "Roll, let him go!"
"No," Roll replies, "I'm not letting go of my brother."
"Either you let go or I swear, I'll make you let go!" Tron shouts. She puts her hand on Roll's arm.
"Tron, stop this! You're really making this worse," My pleading fell on deaf ears.
"Shut up!" I already did Tron. Her focus on Roll is fierce and I can tell my sister is having the same look.
"You do know that robots can't harm humans right?" She asks Roll. I look at my sister nodding, "So unless you don't want to end up in the junkyard, I suggest that you let go of him. Now!"
"Unless you get off my arm then maybe I will," Roll replies, "Makes me wonder why the heck my brother would date someone like you. You look like a grouchy old hag. Did someone forget to bring cream to fix that face?"
Wow, Roll really knows how to dis a girl. It's more than enough to make Tron snap. She rages at my sister trying to grab her hair. Roll with her quick instincts block Tron from ever doing so. She holds her arms tightly. At least now I have the chance to restrain my girlfriend, which I do so. So I do that only for me to feel the wrath of an angry Bonne. My strength is already at high gear holding Tron back.
"Let me go! I swear if you don't let me go, you're going to regret it Robert Light!" Tron rasps, yelling in fury.
But then we hear someone that stops the whole fight instantly, "That's enough!"
Everyone turns to see my Gramps who's fed up with the fighting. I release my grip on Tron who looks at him in worry.
"That's enough out of all of you," He says, "Roll, I ask that you cease these advances on your brother this instant."
Roll explains, "But Doctor, I-"
"He means it! What you're doing is inappropriate. Do you know that you and Robert are brother and sister?" Tron asks Roll. She tries to explain but keeps getting interrupted.
"Maybe I activated her a bit too soon. I think there's something wrong with her," suggests Dr. Light.
"No, there's nothing wrong me," She pleads, "I just only want to show my love for my own brother, that's all."
I simply say nothing as the arguing intensifies. Tron keeps saying that what Roll's doing is incest and ruining my relationship with her. Dr. Light says she needs to be rechecked. In spite of all this, Roll says that she's being misjudged because of her actions. She even goes as far as to point at me because I'm not saying anything. The thing is, I've been watching how she's behaving. I already know that something is wrong. I can feel it.
"I'm sorry Roll but I think I activated you a bit too soon. I'm afraid I have to shut you down so I can properly fix you," says Gramps.
"No, no… no!" She shouts. Dr. Light tries to grab her but fails. Her fears kick in immediately due to what my gramps' plan on doing.
"Roll, wait!" I plead, "Listen to me!"
"Just leave me alone!" She shouts, running off, "I thought you loved me."
"I do but you don't understand that this isn't the love you're giving me. It's wrong," Now I tell her this, "What you're doing… no, we're doing is incest. I don't want that."
Roll then asks, "So you're going to listen to her instead of me? I thought you loved me."
"I do love you but only as my sister, not my lover. I already have a girlfriend and what you're doing is breaking her heart. But there's something I've noticed about you," I respond, wondering.
Roll doesn't say a word but I then go on to say, "I've noticed that there's a bug in your personality. I recommend that you come back with us. I think I can fix you."
I place my hand out hoping I can help her but Roll refuses. I try again but she refuses. If I didn't know any better, she's reminding me of myself when I returned from the dead. Seeing that I've rejected her advances due to my reasoning, she runs away heading into the city. This is so not good but I feel that she needs at least some time to cool down. Truth is, we all do. I went back inside seeing Tron. She's fed up because of me not doing anything, but I have a reason for that.
"I don't really know what's wrong with you. Why did you let your own sister do this to you?" She rants angrily.
I simply respond, "Maybe if you really know what's going on then there's a reason why. Where's Gramps?"
"Still upstairs," She answers, but still looks at me with that same look.
I simply nod my head and went on my way. Rush notices me being down. My guess it's because of all that's happened.
"Sorry you had to go through this Rush but I think it's best we let her get some downtime," I say, petting my new friend. He responds wondering if she'll come back.
"Don't worry Rush. I assure you she will return. I didn't expect all of this to happen so soon," Gramps assures, approaching me from behind.
"Guess today is a really messed up one huh?" I ask him.
He nods and replies, "You've noticed that Roll is acting very bizarre right?"
"Very. Was this your intention?" I now ask him.
"Absolutely not!" He responds, "I designed Roll to handle housekeeping while we do other duties. I had no idea that this would occur.
"So you're saying that you basically designed her to be a maid right? I wouldn't mind that," I then think of how my sister would look wearing a maid's outfit. This alone made my Gramps a little upset.
"I begin to wonder how Tron seems to tolerate your perversities," That stings Gramps.
"Anyway I did a scan of her systems and you won't believe what I found. Look at this," Forming a drive port on my wrist, I take a USB cable and connected one end to the drive and the other to a computer.
Gramps presses some buttons on the computer giving access to my data. He sees the results of my scan and is surprised. I look as well but after a bit, he starts taking some notes. Guess he has something up his sleeves.
"You found anything?" I ask him.
"Yes, it turns out your sister is suffering from a bug that has altered her personality. Her core is normal. It's that of her personality circuits," He explains.
"Aren't they what makes us who we are," I say, "Because when you designed me, you made sure my personality components were functioning well."
"Yes, that's right. Since the Blues incident, I wanted to make sure that the components are separated from the power core. Basically having the memory portion (or processor) in a separate area. However since I had to entrust the AI to many others when I designed Roll, I thought that nothing would go wrong," And it turns out something did happen Gramps.
"You should have been the one to handle the AI though Higsby could do a better job at it," I respond.
"I know but I entrusted him in designing the bodies for Roll and Rush. We know he can achieve great things but I can't say the same on how he can be able to withstand abuse from Teisel," If he only knew.
"So is there anything we can do? Roll ran off to the city," I explain, changing the subject back to the problem at hand, "And she can be anywhere."
"You don't have to worry. I install all my robots with functioning trackers that can pinpoint their exact location. It's how I know where you are whenever you take on Wily's forces," He replies.
"That makes sense," I get up and take a stretch, "I'm going to the city to find my sister. Think you can use the notes to hopefully fix our problem?"
Gramps then says, "I'll see if I can. Just make sure she comes back in one piece before the bug does any more harm than good."
Okay gramps, what can possibly go wrong? That's something I don't want to think about. I don't have much time though.
"Come on Rush. We're into action!" Rush responds by barking and following me.
We both head for the door but I spot Tron in my sights. She's still pissy over what happened and quite frankly I can care less. I look at her with squinty eyes. I have reasons to be angry because she's the one that helped contribute to it.
"What do you want?" I ask her.
"You're going to find your sister?" She asks me.
I nod and say, "Yeah. Dr. Light and I have found out what's wrong. I hope that if I do come back, I can maybe be able to fix her."
"Fix her like how she tried to fix her way to you?" She insults, getting on my bad side.
"How was I supposed to know she acted like this? Hell, Dr. Light had no idea either. I noticed her behavior but I never told anyone about it," I have my arms crossed as she prepares to bring on the rage.
"Why didn't you? Would it make Roll feel any better if she knew about it?" Her tone starts to intensify.
"It wouldn't but I would explain that Dr. Light doesn't want to harm her. He doesn't want to make the same mistake when he had to tolerate Project Blues," I reply, remembering my grandpa's attempt at trying to fix Blues.
"I know all about Project Blues. Your grandfather provided me all the files relating to him. It sucks he ran off but who knows where he's at. I only hope you don't do anything stupid because I haven't forgotten how you've hurt not just me but your grandpa as well," You don't have to remind me Miss Bonne.
"I haven't forgotten. I recommend that you cool down for a while okay? Besides, someone here needs your company," The three of us turn to see Doc who feels rather alone.
Tron replies, "Why not. At least you have your new friend Rush don't you?" To prove that it was no offense, she kisses his forehead aka helmet.
Rush responds by licking her, which by this point she's gotten used to rather fast. We both leave the house and Rush transforms into its jet mode. I get on top and we head off into the city. It's pretty nice getting a view this high but I'm used to it since I rely on using battlechips just to get me places. My focus now is finding my sister and she can be anywhere. Did I forget to mention that New Light City is bigger than it was years ago when it was called I think "Manhattan"? Surprised aren't ya?
Two hours later…
Deep within the city finds Roll, still scared over what happened earlier. Truth is, I really can't blame her. You boot up getting used to your newfound life. You meet your family and their friendly but then something goes wrong and now you're hurt due to you showing care to family, in all the wrong ways. Her emotions are heightened but she seems curious seeing the city so bustling with people. Not only that but robots were there as well doing normal everyday tasks. She sees one of them helping people into an electronic store.
"Hello there, fellow robot. How are you today?" Roll says, asking it.
It turns to her replying, "Are you interested in any electronics ma'am? We're having a huge sale today. Everything must go go go!"
"Um, I don't think I have that much money," She sighs seeing that all she has is $20.
"I'm afraid you'll have to move. You're interfering with business," Roll simply walks off finding that the robot isn't talkative.
She then looks around to find other robots nearby doing the same thing: enticing customers to enter their stores. Heading toward them, she introduces herself only to find that they have no time for chatter. This presents a problem.
What's with all these robots today? I only wanted to say hi to them. Oh I wish I didn't run off like that. She looks around to see if other robots are around.
Sadly none are interested for simple chat. But something inside her growls uncontrollably. Guess Roll had no clue that she needs to eat food in order to keep her energy up. What do you expect? My sister's a reploid just like me. We're much different than regular robots and we possess things that normal robots don't have. She enters a nearby café and takes a seat.
"Excuse me," She wonders, "Can I get someone please?"
Luckily a waiter spots her, "Yes, welcome to the New Light Café. How may I help you?"
"Do you have anything to eat or drink? I don't feel good," Her energy drops down with every second passing.
"I'll see what I can do ma'am. You have my word. Hey Jake, get some food here on the double! This lady's in need of some fast!" He replies, getting the attention of the chef.
A few minutes afterwards, the waiter, a man named Ray comes by and serves her some food. If consists of two bacon cheeseburgers, a side order of fries, a garden salad, some dressing and he also provided a cup so she can use to fill it up with soda. Don't know if it's going to be bad for business but hey, if it makes her happy, why not. She starts eating and it helps get her energy up. Ray smiles at this and gets to work writing some stuff on a notepad. Whatever for, I don't know.
"I never thought I would actually enjoy this. The food is just so delicious," She says, feeling happier with every bite.
"Well what do you expect? Many come here to enjoy and have a good time. I can tell you seem quite pleased," He responds.
"I know," Roll lets out a sigh, relieved of having a good meal, "Nobody ever told me that such places like these exist."
"You new? I haven't seen you around town," Ray wonders.
"Well yes," She answers, nervously, "I just came here today. Why do you ask?"
He then asks, "I'm just wondering because you seem rather nervous. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm just tense that's all," She assures him.
"Good. I only hope today gets a little better for ya," Ray takes some of the plates Roll used to eat to the kitchen.
Wow. That gentleman was really nice. But her kindness changes to worry when she starts remembering about our family.
"I have to go sir. Thanks for serving me. I really appreciate that. Do I have to pay?" She asks Ray.
"Normally I would say it's on me but for the sake of things, you have to. It's $15.95 ma'am," Ray replies.
Roll hands him a $20 bill but then tells, "Um, what was that word again? Oh, keep the change."
"You are truly a lass. You're always welcome here anytime," Ray assures her.
It makes Roll very happy but as she heads for the door, she sees someone that has her emotions reach a fever pitch. A man appears in front blocking her path. He isn't in the mood for a bite to eat. This guy is here looking for trouble.
"Excuse me but where can I find the manager here?" He says.
"Um… I don't know. I'm just only here to get some food and be on my way. Can I pass?" She asks the guy, hoping to get away from whatever this person is doing.
"Sorry but I can't let ya do that. For you see," He then grabs Roll with a tight grip and shouts, "This here's a stick-up fool!"
Ray turns to see Roll held against her will by the robber. A gun is already pointed at her head but he then moves it getting the attention of everyone in the café. If I was there, I would literally make sure he gets the beating of a lifetime.
"Gimme all your cash or else I'll make the little blonde wish she never met me," orders the Robber. Many of the customers hide in fear of what he's carrying.
"Get off me you jerk!" She shouts. She struggles as much as possible but the guy isn't letting go.
"Try anything funny and I'll make sure you bleed. Let's see if a girl like you can scream," His threat scares Roll despite her efforts in trying to break free.
"Listen to me, I'll give you the money. Just let her go. I'm the one that you want!" Ray pleads.
"Don't! This guy is a monster. He doesn't care who he hurts!" She counters but the robber shuts her up.
"You don't want to listen to that lady. I recommend you do as I say or else the next time she opens her mouth, I'll break it!" The robber threatens once again.
Ray does what he can by abiding to the robber's terms. He gathers money from the cash registers as well as the safe. Once that's done, he puts them in a bag and giving it to the robber. The dirtbag smiles seeing his reward but the question now is how to deal with Roll and the waiter.
"I thank you for your kindness but sadly, you won't be around to live another day," The asshole's tone becomes dark and devilish.
"You promised you wouldn't hurt anyone," She wonders, "You said it yourself!"
"Did I? I don't think so. Time for you to die… both of you," Roll sees the jerk ready to pull the trigger and do it.
No. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die! Roll shuts her eyes but she hears someone stopping the guy from doing it.
"Huh? What the?" The robber wonders, turning to see a guy with silver hair appear looking very pissed.
"Let… her… go," He demands, ready to bring on the pain.
"Are you nuts? Do you want me to kill you along with her?" You should watch what you say bub, because you might get what's coming to ya.
"Why not try me and find out," He's desperate.
The robber does that and fires a shot at the guy in the chest. Unfortunately it doesn't go through because the silver-haired dude is unphased. The bullet doesn't even go through him. It ends up on the floor. Now the bad guy's nervous. Without saying a word, the guy takes the gun, breaks it and gets to work giving the bad guy a beatdown. All it takes is three hits and the robber's on the floor coughing in pain. The guy returns the cash to Ray and turns to Roll, which by this point is free from the asshole's grip.
"Are you alright ma'am? Did he hurt you?" He asks her.
She nods and says, "Yes, I'm okay. Thank you."
The guy smiles as he turns to see Ray, relieved that the situation is resolved. He takes the money and puts it away then goes to a nearby phone and calls the police. Roll heads to Ray and gives him a hug before heading off. I know he'll see her again at least under different circumstances. She then goes to the guy in silver hair whose waiting for her. The two don't say anything for a while but he seems like a pretty okay guy. What Roll doesn't know is that in addition to the guy's silver hair, he has dark red eyes but aren't as fierce.
"So, got any ideas on where we can go next?" Roll asks. He nods, not saying a word, "It's alright. I have a perfect idea. Come on."
Roll takes his hand and the two head out into the city. Her new friend wonders what she has planned. A little while later, the police show up and arrest the dirtbag. He's charged with robbery and attempted murder. This guy will expect to serve a very long prison sentence. Roll shows him some places but expresses little to no interest. This worries Roll but it isn't stopping her one bit. I can't say the same for him though. I think he's wondering how the heck he's getting into this.
"Is something wrong? You seem distracted?" She asks him.
"No, it's nothing," He finally responds, "I appreciate you taking me around the city. Can we be someplace quiet?"
"Oh, okay," That was fast Roll. "You have any ideas?"
"Someplace where we don't want to attract attention. I have a bad thing for crowds," He suggests.
Roll nods and the guy suggested a place far from the city. The two then head towards an alley leading into a nearby park. At least now they don't have to contend with crowds and such. But it's there that she decides to find out more about him. I wonder if this is going to do any good.
"By the way, I never even got your name. Who are you?" She asks him.
"You don't really want to know who I am, believe me. I doubt you would understand." He replies.
"I would understand. I ran away from my family because they wanted to change me the way I was," She explains, "What about you?"
The guy wonders if what she says holds any merit. He turns to her who has a lot more confidence in her eyes. With a smile, I know for sure that things are going to be very troubling.
"You really want to know do you?" He asks her. Roll simply nods and continues, "Okay fine, I'll tell you. My name is Wily… Bastian Wily."
"Bastian… a good name for someone like you," Roll replies, but in all seriousness, why isn't she putting two and two together?!
"That's very nice of you. What's your name?" Bastian asks her.
"My name is Rebecca Light but you can call me Roll," She explains. Hearing this makes him start getting angry, "Is something wrong?"
"I want to know one thing. Are you related to someone named Robert Light?" This isn't a good sign all right.
Roll nods, answering, "Y-yeah, I am. He's my brother."
Brother?! He wonders, showing some anger. Are you telling me that this teenage brat is that blue dweeb's sister?! This makes no sense!
"Are you okay Bastian? You seem a little... angry," She wonders, getting nervous.
He nods his head and answers, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about some other things. Shouldn't you be at home right now?"
"Why should I? I ran away because like I said, my family wanted to change me because they think I have a problem. I mean come on, I'm just showing love to my own brother but they say that what I'm doing is incest," She explains, pouting in anger.
Bastian (with an uncaring look) simply chuckles at this and replies, "Didn't know incest amongst robot siblings were acceptable."
Roll counters, "Bet you never had anyone that cared for you. Besides, everyone would think you're crazy."
He turns to her with a cold angry stare. Roll worries over what he'll do after making that remark. His eyes glow red with vicious venom. He feels like he wants to rip the hell out of her, but he can't do that. Well for starters, Roll is a girl and you can't hurt women, at all. Doing it would make you look pathetic and hated. Not that it matters because his grandpa is a piece of crap who ruined my family. Turning around, Bastian takes the time to calm down. Roll however starts having second thoughts about him.
"You know, I think you're starting to make me worry. Is everything alright?" She wonders.
Bastian doesn't say anything but knows he's expecting someone, more specifically, me. High above the city, I continue my search for Roll. Sadly I haven't gotten much success due to a lot of things. Distractions are one of them since I can't be doing it on an empty stomach. Dr. Light meanwhile has been hard at work on a countermeasure that can help get rid of the bug that's causing Roll to be like this. I sure only hope he can hurry.
"Any luck finding her Robert?" He asks me.
"Nope. I've spent a while and nothing," I answer but then ask him, "Are you sure the tracker you installed on her works?"
"It should work unless I'm unable to locate her," Then why the heck can't we find her? That's the problem Gramps.
"I'm going to keep looking. If I find her, I'll let you know," I tell him, assuring that I make good on it.
But I didn't need to take long. Rush spots something and tells me that he's found her. I look and spot her but she's with someone. I head for it and Bastian notices me appearing. He starts having a smile on his face. Roll notices the sudden change but when she looks up, she also notices me heading closer.
No… not him. Not now. Her worry intensifies and I can relate.
So he finally shows up. Now I can ditch this little charade and go full throttle at him. Bastian sees me arrive, unaware that Roll is watching.
"Robert, what are you doing here?" She asks me.
"I'm the one who should be asking that question. I'm here to bring you home sis. Dr. Light and I have found a way to fix the bug inside you," I explain.
"I don't want to change. I don't want to be something that you guys would want," She's still being distant.
"It's not that. Gramps is making sure that nothing bad will happen to you. Let's go. I got to take you home," I command but I notice the guy looking at me.
I turn to him and say, "Wow. Didn't know you look this good without your armor Bas tian."
"What? You know him?" Roll wonders.
"Oh I do," I reply, "He's Wily's grandkid and a very fired up one."
She turns to Bastian and wonders if it's true. The look in his eyes tells the whole story. Now to be fair, he didn't want to do this because my sister is cute and all. If I didn't show up and cause all this, he would have told her to head back home. It would be a much better solution than all this but I have a job to do. Bastian presses a button on his wrist. His civilian disguise disappears and in its place is his armor, the very black armor that I always see. Roll knows him as Bastian Wily but I know him way too well as Dr. Wily's right hand bot, Bass.
"Forgive me Roll but your brother is a hindrance. He has to go down!" He says, turning now towards me, and starts firing a few shots from his buster cannon.
I order Rush to evade his shots, which he does so. I then jump delivering a kick to his chest. It didn't push him back but it did make him angry.
"Rush, stay with Roll! I'll handle Bass!" I ordered.
He does so and heads toward my sister. Bass notices this but instead focuses on me. Like him, I press a button on my watch and say my usual transformation (or henshin) catchphrase. I enter Battle Mode replacing my civilian gear with the usual blue armor. My sister Roll is surprised seeing us turn into super fighting robot warriors but at the same time, she's worried because one of us may do something to the other. It's like the predicament I had to deal with in regards to her and my girlfriend.
"I see now you have a mutt for a sidekick. That's kind of lame," He insults.
"Not as lame as how I beat Wily, again," I counter but I think it wasn't that good.
"That's the best you can come up with. Wow, you're pathetic. The blue brat I know would skip the jokes and go straight for the asskicking," He has a point there.
"I can admit that but since Wily ain't doing any of the usual 'take over the world' bullcrap, I'm more laid back. But I want to know, what are you doing with my sister?" I ask him.
"I don't know. I saved her from a stupid money-obsessed crook, she takes me around the city and I get really agitated in crowds. I'm not a crowd person mostly," He explains, rolling his eyes around.
"So you drag her into an alley thinking it would be better if things are quiet? Wow. Such creativity," I praise but in his mind, he thinks I insult him.
So he responds by firing a shot from his Buster. I evade and fire a shot right back. Roll heads to a safe place while we both go into battle. I tackle Bass to the floor and start dishing out a flurry of punches to the face. He blocks a few but I make sure some hit their mark. He strikes me from behind with his knee and I get pushed off him. He kicks me in the face and then follows it up with a tackle smacking into a dumpster. I dodge his next attack and went with a reverse spin kick. He grabs my foot (with ease) and I get tossed into the dumpster. The pain's really good but it isn't stopping me from going all out.
"Battlechip, Spreader!" My buster transforms into a spread gun with multiple holes.
I take aim and fire a shot consisting of multiple blasts. Bass gathers a dark blade and uses it to slash an energy wave. My attack gets blocked but he then goes for another attack. I dodge the wave and fired a second spread shot. All the shots hit their mark and sadly, Bass had nothing to defend against that. He gets sent to the floor and I continue my offense. He tries again with another attack but I dodge, grab his arm and sent him through a brick wall. It really has to hurt that's for sure. For good measure though, I use my Mega Buster and blast him a few times.
"Is that all you got? You really need to step up your game," I suggest to Bass.
He turns to look and replies, "Step it up huh? All right then, let's do this!"
Bass races straight for me and goes all out wielding two blades (one in each hand). I go to switch battlechips but he prevents me from doing that. He attacks with a volley of strikes pushing me back. Roll sees the fight from afar and notices me at a disadvantage.
"We got to do something Rush. He's going to hurt him," She says. Rush replies asking her what they can do.
"I don't know but I'll think of something," She explains, but she better think fast.
Bass' next strike pushes me back and I was really in a bind. I try my luck with a few Mega Buster shots but he dodges them all quickly and I get a major punch to the chest. The pain's too great since his strike is powered up by some dark energy. Why do you think his Bassinium power core nearly went nuclear three months ago? Anyway, I try to block one of his attacks but it comes in too fast and I end up getting smacked.
"Now what was it you were saying when what I was doing is creative," He asks me, "At least I show a sense of kindness toward your sibling. Heck if I knew who she's related to then I would be kind of surprised by this. I thought you had no siblings."
"That's when I was human," I respond, "That life is gone and now I have a new life. THIS one!"
I punch him straight in the face in response and then I follow up by activating a KnightSword. He tries to fight back but even that doesn't work because my strength is fierce. One strike after another, I give Bass a beatdown but my focus is fierce. I'm not filled with anger since I've let go of my hate. The only thing that's on my mind now is very simple and that's getting my sister home.
After I attack once again, Bass is the one who's now reeling from my offense. I ask, "What's the matter Bass? Had enough?"
Bass says nothing but I hold my ground. Roll and Rush look on cheering because I now have the advantage. But instead of wanting to finish him off, I decide against it. The reason why is because he did get my sister out of trouble and save the day. If that never happened, his butt would have been majorly curb-stomped. I turn to my sister. She's happy I won the fight but the cheering dies down into fear.
"Robert, look out!" She shouts, noticing Bass powering up a charge shot.
I turn to see but it's too late. He fires it and I was unable to evade. The blast sends me to the pavement. Bass walks closer toward me ready to deliver another dose of pain. Rush gets in front blocking his path to protect me. What does Bass do for something like this? He blocks Rush's attack and throws him to a wall.
"Not even your companion can stop me," He states, showing his superiority.
"Rush… no," I whisper, seeing my mutt knocked aside like a rag doll.
"I really got nothing against you but you really stuck your nose when you don't belong. You may have beaten Wily and you may have gotten off easy due to his interference but this time, nothing will stop me from getting rid of you!" He shouts, aiming his buster on my face.
Now I am really in trouble. Bass has his plasma cannon charging and I'm still in pain from his attack. If I try to move, he would stop me and deliver the coup de grace. But if I don't then he'll deliver it regardless and I'm done for. Roll watches this and decides that enough is enough. Whether by carelessness or courage, Roll gets in the way of Bass' attack. This alone makes the black warrior upset.
"What are you doing? You're in my way!" He shouts, demanding an explanation.
"You're not laying a hand on my brother!" She responds, getting in his way (as he states earlier).
"You think a girl can stand up to me? Unlikely! Get out of my way or I'll take you down too!" He demands, pointing his buster at him.
"You wouldn't want to hit a girl now would you?" She asks him.
Being fed up by Roll's feminine wiles, he rants, "I don't care if you're a child! Get in my way and I take you down!" Roll simply sighs.
"I thought you were a really nice guy but now I know you're nothing but a bully!" She responds, insulting him.
"I apologize if I didn't please you but your brother is my enemy and I am ordered to destroy him," He explains, "But since you're in my way, I have to destroy you too."
"You'll regret it, trust me," Something was up with what my sister's doing.
She notices something beeping on her utility arm. Roll presses it and her eyes start showing small bits of data. I look at all of this and knew that Gramps had a little surprise up his sleeve. Bass looks as well but he's keeping his blaster ready though quite frankly, you should shoot her already! Don't ask why I'm providing advice to a villain who's wasting major time not finishing the job. Never mind, let's move on.
"It's go time now Bass. Activate battle mode, passcode: REAWAKEN!" The beeping stops and her body engulfs in a bright pink light.
Her civilian clothes disappear and she starts wearing a black jump suit. She sees armor appearing in the form of multiple pieces. They all connect to her body forming it starting with the chest. Instead of leg armor, she gets a skirt and foot parts. Her arm parts form with her utility arm becoming her signature buster cannon. Her helmet forms so once she puts it on, some of her hair flows out giving it breathing room. I also notice that her armor shows a heart marking on her arms, chest and the sides of her helmet. Knowing my Gramps, he wanted to have something that can set her apart. I give him credit for that. The light disappears and we all see Roll in her battle gear. Bass' face begins to show a hint of red while Rush and I are amazed. She looks at him who is speechless seeing her transform.
"Alright big boy, time we dance!" She shouts, racing at him for her opening gambit.
Bass tries to compose himself but is too late as he gets a smack down by her. Roll punches her twice and then delivers a spin kick to his chest. Her offense is brutal, delivering a flurry of attacks. I get up, still feeling the pain from Bass' attack and watch the fight. I did check on Rush and fortunately the damage isn't as serious. I can't say the same for Bass because this guy is getting a beating.
"What's wrong Bass? Liked picking on my brother but you can't pick on me? What a wimp," She insults, delivering a shot from her Roll Buster inflicting damage on him.
Bass gets angry and goes for the attack. He attacks with two shots from his cannon but Roll easily dodges them. She's quick on her feet giving Bass a beating. She delivers another attack but instead of using her fists, she whacks him with her hair. Yeah I forget to mention that Roll actually can use her hair as a weapon. I don't know if it's giving Bass a case of bad hair day but hey, he's getting what's coming to him.
"Of all things I get attacked by, it's hair! A girl's hair no less!" He shouts, fired up and super pissed off.
"Guess you're having a bad hair day huh Bassy-poo," She says, literally getting on his nerves.
Bassy-poo? Wow, that is funny. I let off a chuckle after hearing her say that.
"Don't insult me you worm!" In Bass' blind rage, he attacks Roll.
She dodges his attack as well as the charge shot he dishes afterwards. He goes for one more but misses leaving him open to Roll's offense. Taking advantage of this, Roll changes her buster arm into a crossbow. The arrow that's placed in it has a heart-shaped tip.
Taking aim, she jumps high into the air and shouts, "You're done for now boy. Roll Arrow!"
She fires the shot striking Bass in the chest and dealing significant pain. The impact has him reeling hard and I think by this point, the game is over.
"Had enough? Want to go again?" She asks, hitting the ground and having her weapon ready for another go.
Humiliated from his defeat, Bass replies, "I won't live this down you understand?"
"Oh I understand alright. The fact that you got beat up by me really does bad for your rep," She states. I nod agreeing to that.
Bass then shouts, "I'll be back, I promise and when I do, you both will be sorry you ever messed with me!"
We see him teleport off in a black light. Guess he's had enough for one day. I check on my sister and find that she's exhausted from the fighting. My eyes change colors finding the right vision until they turn silver for x-ray diagnostic. Roll turns to see what's going on. I simply say nothing while I check if she's doing all right. Good news is that she's doing okay but Rush is going to be in need of repairs.
"Guess you're adjusting to the battle gear rather quickly. Impressive," I praise her.
"Yeah but I feel so drained, and hungry," She replies. It surprises me though.
"Don't worry sis. We'll make sure you get a bite to eat but first, we need to fix you before that bug does some major damage," I assure her.
"You're right. Good idea," Roll nods and I order Rush to go into jet mode.
Before we head for home, my sister turns around locking lips with me. I know it'd be the last time she'll do this but I'm making this the only exception. Why? Well it's because she did save my life from Bass after all. Tron won't find out though but anyway, Roll and I get on top of Rush as he jets us home. However as we do fly off, on one of the rooftops was a robot in red. He watched the whole fight that happened but didn't do anything. He didn't say anything, he observed our every move and what we were doing. I don't know what his deal is but I know one of these days, I'm going to find out who he is and what he's doing. I just know it won't be pretty.
So he's built another robot, two no less. Interesting. She did make quick work out of Wily's robot easily. But I find that even my brother has limits that can't be broken. You may not be able to beat him today but I know you will have your chance eventually. When that happens, you better be ready for I will enjoy breaking you down. Do not betray my expectations… brother.
He teleports off in a red light after seeing what he needs to know. Although I don't want to admit it, I do feel that something isn't right. Today has been hectic and I'm hoping that something like this doesn't happen again. But when you're a superhero who has responsibilities like this, it's the norm and you got to endure that. I just hope I'm not too late in fixing this mess between Tron and Roll. I really hope I'm not.
Later that evening at the Light Residence Basement…
"Finished. All right Roll, I've checked you out. You're good to go," says Dr. Light, "I was able to remove the bug from your system without affecting your personality components."
"So it was a bug that made me act like that? What the heck Dr. Light! Why didn't anyone tell me this," She replies, acting similarly to me in some ways.
"I think it's because the bug didn't affect you until later on. That's my guess," I explain, although I can't explain why my sister is having this new attitude.
"Really? Yuck. I can't believe I had to act like that toward you of all people, my own brother," She complains, "But at least now I don't have to do that ever again."
Roll turns to my gramps and says, "Dr. Light, thank you. Thank you so much."
"It's the least I can do for you Roll. I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to. But at least now I'm happy that your brother has someone he can rely on," He responds, praising Roll on the fact that I have a new sibling.
We see Rush come into the lab and starts licking my sister's face. She seems happy by this and so am I but he isn't the only one that comes in. Tron is here too and I think by her face, she's cooled off a bit.
"Hello Roll," says Tron.
"Oh, hey Tron. Feeling any better?" She replies, asking her.
Tron nods and follows, "Yeah, I am. Thanks. I needed some time to cool off after what happened. Listen, I—"
"No," Roll interjects, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you and my brother. I had no idea I had a bug that really did some problems to me."
"I know. I'm like, I didn't think you had it. I thought that you actually had feelings for your brother. If you did, it would be just so icky," Tron replies, feeling like she wanted to vomit just thinking about it.
"Me, in love with my big brother? Please. That's just wrong. Besides, it wouldn't be right. It'd be just creepy and dumb," She says, having that same feeling.
"I guess all is forgiven huh?" Tron wonders. Roll nods and to prove she meant this, she hugs her new best friend.
I look at this with a smile seeing that I've finally set things right but I notice the two looking at me with seductive smiles. My smile turns to worry instantly. I try my best to plead but knowing with women like them, they're hard to convince.
"Thanks but no thanks girls. I ain't interested one bit. Come on Rush, into action!" I command, Rush going into jet mode immediately.
I get on as the two try to chase me around the lab. Dr. Light watches this and is happy I'm now being normal like I should be, much to his dismay of Rush flying around when he shouldn't. So let's face it. Our family has expanded. I have a sister who at first started being weird but eventually becomes a friendly, active and overall a badass. She is neither a maid nor a damsel in distress although I wonder what it'd be like if she was a maid. The other is going to be someone that I'll be relying on for a very long time. Dogs are man's best friend and lifelong partners. I agree on that in every sense and heck even my family means something to me. They're partners too. I know they'll help me out when the situation gets dire and when things are rough for them, I'll be there. At least with Wily locked up and awaiting trial, I'm not worried. I have all the time in the world after all.

On the next Mega Man: Reawakened
It's convention time! Robert and his family head for the New Light Robot Expo to meet with some old friends of Dr. Light. Although things are fun for everyone involved, looks can be deceiving. Evil hides in the shadows and they plan to raise some hell. To make matters worse, Robert vanishes without a trace and the only ones that can save him are a robot canine and a robot that speaks baby talk. Can these two be able to find our hero and give whoever decides to ruin this day a thrashing? Hold on to your seats. The hunt to find him is on in the next intense episode, Mega Man is Missing; Rush and Bon's Excellent Adventure.
A hero isn't born, it is created.
