Author's Notes: Remember, Nintendo and Capcom have trademarks to most of the characters mentioned. If you're wondering about where in the Megaman and Kid Icarus timelines it takes place, it's after "Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters" (Gameboy Version) and after Rockman and Forte (often mislabeled Megaman 9)
Megaman and Kid Icarus: The Invasion of Angel Land
Part 3 (The Darkness descends)
The Daedelus Complex
Pit and Megaman were riding Rush. Their destination was one of the dots on the scanner.
"Do you always fly on Rush?" asked Pit, feeling slightly dizzy, because this was faster than he ever flew.
"No. Quite often I am teleported. And you will soon experience it. It's rather quick. It feels weird at first, but you start liking it", responded Megaman.
"I've seen Palutena do it all the time…but I don't know" Pit felt slightly sick feeling about it.
"Well, it's better getting blasted" reassured Megaman.
"I guess you're right", said Pit, still feeling slightly dizzy, but starting to like flying on Rush.
Little did they know that in the distance, many yards behind them, was the combined Bass and Treble. He was being careful to stay far enough behind to not be detected, but close enough to follow them.
Rush pulled up in front of a huge complex, and then stopped. Pit vaguely recognized it.
"Wily has no respect for anything, does he?"
"Ever since we went insane along time ago, nothing was sacred to him, except world domination", remarked Megaman.
"that building" said Pit "is the Daedelus army base. Daedelus was my father. He inspired me to join the Icarus army, which I now lead. But he was killed in battle long before my first battle. And now it looks like Wily has taken it over."
"Well, we'll kick him out soon", said Megaman. "However, this is the farthest we can go with Rush. We'll have to teleport in. But first I'll contact Light and Palutena."
"Light here" said Dr.Light, sitting at the communications console. "The Robot Master in charge of the building you are going to is War Man. Megaman, you may remember Napalm Man and Mars. This robot looks like the worst of both of them. Seems fitting that he chose a military complex to hide out. You two will be teleported inside soon. One more thing. Auto's item machine has been modified to use the local currency, "hearts", instead of Bolts or P chips. They happen to be made out of an unusual alloy. Good Luck"
"See you later" said the Megaman, waiting to be teleported.
"For Palutena and Angel Land" added Pit.
The two were teleported onto a platform, at the entrance of a long hallway. There were many guns standing on the walls. This was definatly not how Pit remembered it. At the end of the hall was what resembled machinery of some sort. Many conduits and some pistons. As well as some wires.
They were attacked by Angel Joes and Metalls. But they fell quickly in the barrage of plasma and arrows. But then they came to a huge shaft down, and while descending, Megamn sticking to platforms while Pit used his wings to descend slowly. But they were attacked by missile launchers and wall flying missile robots. Pit was sent flying backward by a missile from a wall installation. Megaman retaliated with a fully charged Buster charge. The monstrosity fell off the wall. Megaman and Pit were firing at some flying robots, when the large platform they jumped onto started moving downwards. An Elevator! Megaman knew that there were always nasty surprises around elevators.
"Keep your arrows ready, Pit! This may be a trap" warned Megaman.
As if on cue, a group of four Angel Joes swooped down from above. The first one was quickly dealt with by Pit, but the others quickly got even with their machine guns. Pit was given a stinging blow to his shoulder. It stung badly. Two of the Joes landed and started firing lasers, while Megaman and Pit were running around in circles. The third Joe stayed up, so Pit jumped up and shot it down. But one of the lower Joes hit one of his wings. Pit fell, but quickly got up.
"Never shoot an angel in his wings" he shouted, and he then fired arrows as if there were no tomorrow. Only one Joe was left standing, but a few well aimed plasma shots put an end to that.
After that, a few missiles fired upwards around the elevator. Pit and Megaman only caught ten of them.
"Look out Pit. Parachute bombs."
Many parachute bombs slowly fell towards the elevator. When one was destroyed, by touching the ground or by being shot, it exploded, and Pit was nearly sent flying off the edge. Megaman too took in some damage, but not too much. While the last bombs were falling, several more missiles fired up, and more wall-mounted guns came into site. OOOOUUUUUCCCCCH said Megaman, after he wound up at the wrong end of one of the guns that was firing. But Pit, having figured out the guns and bombs, pushed Megaman out of the way of two bombs, which accidently destroyed the last gun.
The elevator stopped, but there was not that much more to the ground. They came to a fork in the road.
"Perhaps we should see what's ahead" commented Pit "and check out different directions. We'll meet back here".
"Agreed" Said Megaman. "See you here in about half an hour. We'll decide which way then. And Good Luck".
"May Palutena's eyes watch over you" replied Pit.
Pit walked through a short passageway. At the end was a metal door. It was odd to him, although Megaman had seen it too many times before. He approached, and seeing a button next to it, pressed it. The door opened. He walked through, and it closed behind him.
Another angel was in the room, this one wearing a black robe with beads hanging from the bottom and he was carrying a hammer, and had longer hair than Pit.
Brotherly Hate
"So we meet again, younger brother" uttered the angel in black.
"Dmitrios? I'm glad you're here. Will you help us defeat Dr. Wily?" asked Pit.
"I think not, brother, and I no longer see you as such. Palutena favored YOU instead of I, even though I'm older and stronger."
"Dimitrios, we should work together, as a team. We are in the Icarus Army. We should put such disputes aside. And I'd be happy if you could fight at my side."
"You make me laugh. After you defeated Medusa all I hear about is you. Palutena never noticed me. So I left the Icarus army a long time ago. And I've come across a few rather interesting artifacts in my wanderings, including this thing that I have right here!!!"
"Not…" Pit's eyes widened, and his wings spread out "…The Hammer of Power!!!!"
"That is right. And I'm going to smash your head in. And I'll do the same to Megaman. He may be made of metal but this hammer will crush him." Dmitrios laughed. "When I'm finished with you, you'll be crushed….should I send the remains to Goddess Palutena, or to your beloved Cecilia?" Dimitrios continued. "Or shall I send half of you to your pathetic Goddess and the other half to your girlfriend? Oh…I'll have plenty of time to think about that later. Besides, my master probably has better plans for you. Now you shall die." And with that he charged forward, with his hammer held high.
"You keep Palutena and Cecilia out of this" said Pit, as he jumped over and hit Dimitrios in the back with a few arrows. "How could you do this? How could you betray Palutena and Angel Land and the memories of our father and work for Dr.Wily?"
Dmitrios pounded on the ground with visible rage.
"You think that I work for that fool? NEVER." Screamed Dimitrios, as bricks from the ceiling began falling, and the floor cracked.
A few snakes and a couple of Metalls fell with the debris, and they immediately went after Pit. He was bitten in the left foot and in the right wing by a pair of snakes, who wrapped them selves around him, and several more snakes joined him, and then a Metall blasted him, stinging him in the chest, causing him to writhe in agony.
"This is too easy" remarked Dimitrios, as he jumped up into the air, and floated across the room, getting ready to come down on Pit with the hammer's full power. Pit managed to break his arms free of the snaky hold, and fire a few arrows upwards. Dimitri took the full hit. He screamed as he came down, but Pit rolled out of the way, and kept dashing, amid hammer blows and Metall fire. Pit fired many arrows at the Metalls, gaining some Hearts and hurting Dimitri further in the process.
Dimitri further pounded on the floor, causing cubes made of bricks to fall. He then started hammering at the blocks, and with his hammer he could hit the blocks as if they were croquet balls.
One smashed into Pit, and knocked him to the ground. Pit was feeling dizzy, but he could not give up. Dimitrios thought he was victorious, and walked forward slowly, ready to deliver the final blow. Pit quickly got up and fired, hurting Dimitrios and causing him to drop the hammer.
"You're too good." remarked Dimitrios.
"Now, I'd like you to tell me why you are working for Dr.Wily" demanded Pit.
"I told you. I DON'T WORK FOR WILY. I have a different master."
Just then the door through which Pit came in opened, and Megaman came in.
"That passage was a dead end, so I decided to…..WHAT HAPPENED HERE?" asled Megaman, noticing the wreckage.. "And who is that other winged man? You look like Pit…but you must have been fighting him. Are you working for Dr.Wily?"
Dimitrios was furious. He couldn't reach his hammer now, because he was outgunned, and rather injured with bruises all over and several puncture wounds in his wings, and Pit reached over and picked it up. But his face was turning red, and he spread his wings out.
"I DON'T WORK FOR WILY. He is an old fool. you want to meet my master? he'll be here really soon" shouted Dimitrios, very upset, and with blood trickling chest, seeping through his robe.
Just then two "teleport beams" zoomed down, one yellow and one purple. The yellow one became a humanoid robot with a yellow "hood" extending from the sides of his helmet, almost resembling part of a cobra's head. The rest of his body was mostly black and white, but with two blue crystals on his chest. The purple one became a robotic wolf. Megaman gasped and jumped back.
The Bass of a Three-way Conflict
"Megaman, you must remember me" said the humanoid robot "but as for you, Pit, I'll let you know who we are. I am Bass, and this wolf is Treble, and your brother Dimitrios is now my disciple, my number one henchman, and my son in spirit. While Treble and I were created by Dr. Wily, we don't trust him anymore. But we followed him here. And with Dimitrios on our side, we will be able to take the Three Sacred Treasure, and wield the ultimate power.
"While I'm now an enemy of Dr.Wily, I'm also an enemy of you Megaman. For that is my calling, my raison d'être, to destroy you. But now it is also the mission of Treble and I to assist Dimitrios. For it is us who shall be the ultimate team. Pit, unfortunately we must kill you as well, because you are the greatest obstacle in Dimitrios' path to victory, as well as being an ally of the robot that it is my sacred mission to destroy. However, as Dimitrios is injured, we will aid him and let you go for now."
Treble walked over to Dimitrios, who climbed onto the wolf's back. Bass teleported out, then Treble barked and howled and teleported as well, taking Dimitrios with him. A wall then collapsed in front of Megaman and Pit. A familiar robotic suitcase, with a newly attached jetpack. Megaman was excited, and Pit started sharing in the excitement, despite not knowing Flip Top.
