Rock finally opened his eyes when all his systems were online and working. He looked around and noticed the doctors who were still repairing him with the assistance of Shadow Man and Quick Man.

"Rock woke up!"

Dr. Light announced when he saw Rock.

The large number of steps told Rock they were not alone. His brothers were there and very worried about him.

"Doctors? What happened?"

Rock asked when he saw all of them worried.

"Rock, what is the last thing you remember?"

Dr. Wily asked without losing concentration in what he was doing.

"I was ... fighting with Time Man and then with Oil Man. I don't remember any more after that"

Rock responded, receiving a relieved sigh from both doctors.

"Rock. The amount of damage you received caused your systems to shut down and when you defeated Oil Man you went offline completely"

Dr. Light explained looking at him with concern.

"We couldn't transport you if you weren't awake so Quick Man was transported to the coordinates and brought you, Time Man and Oil Man back to the lab before Break Man activated his own teleportation and took Oil Man and Time Man"

Dr. Wily finished almost done with repairing a part of Rock's armor.

"And when they started to charge you and repairing you, you were still out cold, we all feared the worst. So the doctors were thinking if it was just a complete shutdown for the amount of damage or something else"

Quick Man counted with a smile before Shadow Man nodded.

"Fortunately you woke up soon and now, we know this was a trap from Break Man so Time Man and Oil Man can fight against you."

Said Shadow Man quite seriously.

"So while they repaired you, Shadow Man and his weird robots got the location of Break Man"

Explained Magnet Man taking out damaged parts of Time Man with the help of Top Man.

"And we were waiting for you to wake up and decide what to do"

Finished Snake Man while removing damaged parts of Oil Man with Gemini Man.

Rock nodded a little at everything they said before smiling at his brothers.

"Thank you"

Said Rock sincerely grateful to all of them.

"You're welcome? What do we do now? Do you want to go personally for Break Man or do we help you?"

Asked Top Man leaving aside his work.

"Well, I must go for Break Man. This time I'm sure I'll defeat him and bring him home"

He said Rock with a lot of determination. Finally, his systems were at 100% and he felt he could go against the rugged roads of Break Man.

His brothers nodded a little and returned to their tasks when the doctors finished.

"Okay Rock. We will be repairing and fixing Time Man and Oil Man. Be very careful"

Dr. Light advised while Dr. Wily nodded a little.

"While the goal is to bring Blues back here, it would be pointless if we don't have you back too. Don't overdo it, all right?"

Dr. Wily indicated looking at Rock.

Rock nodded a little before going to the teleport machine.

"Well Rock, the coordinates Shadow Man gave us point to a ... Weird castle. Ready?"

Quick Man asked, typing the coordinates. The castle was, in effect, a weird looking castle.

"That's a very original castle. A castle with the form of Blues' helmet"

Said Dr. Wily approving the desing. Aparently, since Blues made his identity public, he didn't have anything to fear.

"Ready"

Said Rock entering the machine before being transported.


The doctors looked at their two creations at the repair tables.

"Magnet Man, Snake Man, could you help us move them to my personal lab? Rock is going to need this space when he returns"

Dr. Light asked while Magnet Man nodded and took Time Man while Snake Man took Oil Man.

"Have you thought of a way to fix Oil Man's molecule system?"

Dr. Light asked, glancing sideways at Dr. Wily, who was thoughtful.

"I have several ideas. None in particular, but if my theory is true, we could fix the system and add a separate external cover so he doesn't have to keep that system running all the time"

Dr. Wily mumbled, looking thoughtfully at the two turned off robots.

Dr. Light nodded before entering his personal lab and seeing the two robot masters there.

"Thank you"

Dr. Light said before looking at both robots.

"Considering we rely on many things from Blues' blueprints to build both of them. Blues would have kept them online with only minor modifications. It's going to be a long road"

Dr. Wily commented connecting a cable from a computer to one of the entries in the neck of Time Man.

Dr. Light nodded before taking a cable and plugging it into the entrance to the neck of Oil Man.

"We'll have to work on Oil Man first. If we don't finish them at the same moment they will panic"

Dr. Light commented while Dr. Wily nodded gravely.

"Their emotional dependence is going to make this much more complicated than we had expected"

Dr. Wily answered before beginning to check the parts that Snake Man and Gemini Man got out from Oil Man.

While both doctors knew Time Man and Oil Man were emotionally dependent, trying to fix them at the same time and wake up at the same time was a very complicated task to do considering Oil Man had lost his external cover.

"And the most complicated part of this is that Rock is determined to bring Blues back home"

Dr. Wily commented, taking out a couple of pieces of Oil Man.

"We have to fix them both or manage to keep them at a more stable point to be able to finish them on time"

Answered Dr. Light removing the oil from some delicate pieces of Oil Man.

"The wonderful thing about this is, we work better under pressure"

Dr. Wily murmured with a slight smile before the silence reigned in the laboratory while the doctors strive to fix their creations.


Hello!

After the dramatic rollercoaster from last chapter, here I bring you some peaceful chapter before we go into the dangerous Break Castle.

In this moment, I can tell you this fic will be separating more from the canon. The first change, as you have already seen, is the castle. Try to imagine the castle from the MM5 in place of the castle of the MM3.

So...I really hope you like it.

LW . exe: I really try to put a little bit of drama because Time and Oil can be very dramatic xD I'm glad you like it. I really hate to dissapoint people :D (thank you! 3)

itanimulli: I told you, keep your tears D: Don't worry this will not be the last time this two are here, you already read it, the doctors are going to put a lot of effort in order to fix those two :D

Thank you for reading
