Chapter 1: Dr. Wily's trap
Proto Man and Mega Man both wound up on the outer hull of the ship. This came as no surprise to them as Dr. Wily always had a special shield scrambler that stopped the two from teleporting inside. The two headed off along the hull to find any entrance they could use. About halfway to the middle of the hull Proto Man found an exhaust port hidden under a large W. "What would you do with out me Mega Man?" Proto Man teased. "I don't know. Dance for joy?" Mega Man teased back. Proto Man pried back the metal covering. "After you." Proto Man said pretending he was a doorman. "Why thank you. I'll be sure to give you a big tip." Mega Man said jumping down the hatch with Proto Man close behind.
Unfortunately for Mega Man, Proto Man jumped in too close behind and landed on top of him. Before they could get up an army of Sniper Joes surrounded them. Quickly the two pulled themselves up and started firing at the hoard of humanoid robots. Proto Man always hated these because he felt they ripped off his design. That and they only gave him a few moments to hit them before they ducked behind their shield. "I've got an idea." Mega Man yelled over the blasts. "Just distract them." Proto Man nodded to show his brother that he heard and then turned his attention back the Sniper Joe hoard. Quickly Mega Man activated his newest adaptor turning himself red and blue. Then he whistled for his dog Rush who transformed into a jet and attached himself to Mega Man's back. He then took off into the air flying behind the Sniper Joes hitting them on their vulnerable backside. After that the fight went quickly. Mega Man would hit the ones shooting at Proto Man and Proto Man would hit all the ones who turned around to hit Mega Man. They were so caught up in their destruction spree that they did not notice the dark shadow in the far corner.
Proto Man barely noticed the lead bubble in time to get out of the way. "Bubble Man!" Mega Man cried out in shock and anger. "I thought I destroyed you ... twice." "Dr. Wily decided I was useful enough to rebuild along with some other friends you may know." Bubble Man said smugly. Proto Man not one to waste words especially on one of Dr. Wily's primitive Robot Masters released a fully charged shot at the green robot. Since the room was not flooded Bubble Man was not agile enough to get out of the way and took the full force of the blast sending him flying. Just then two other Robot Masters, Flash Man and Metal Man, came running through the door and jumped to the aid of their comrade. Mega Man suddenly dropped out of the air his suit changing an orange rust colour. Metal Man looked in terror as Mega Man happily waved at him. Before he could run, Metal Man was cut down by his own weapon. "I love this weapon." Mega Man cried as he turned to face the other two. "Leave it to Dr. Wily to recreate the three robots weak against my favourite weapon."
Proto Man ran over to the deceased Metal Man and loaded the Metal Blade into his own Mega Buster. Unlike Mega Man though Proto Man did not change colour having gotten rid of that 'useless' function a year before. The two each took one each took on one of the Robot master's but without their specially designed battle arenas and being weak against the Metal Blade the two didn't stand a chance. Gust then two blue robots ran into the room. "Gemini Man." Mega Man gasped. "Don't forget me." A purple robot sneered on the other side of the room. "Shadow Man." Proto Man cried angrily. "Ah Break Man glad you remember me." Shadow Man said leaping high into the air. "I'm not one of Wily's lackeys anymore so quit calling me that." Proto Man said firing a Metal blade up at him which promptly bounced off as Shadow Man came crashing down on him. Mean while Mega Man was desperately trying to avoid two Gemini Lasers while trying to eliminate at least one Gemini Man. However without the snake search it seamed like an almost impossible task. He finally had a clear shot at one of the Gemini Men when the other snuck up behind and pinned him to the ground. With Shadow Man blocking his path Proto Man could only watch as his brother was dragged off by Gemini Man.
Quickly Proto Man ducked behind his shield as another Shadow Blade came at him. The blade bounced harmlessly off his shield and he returned fire with a fully charged shot. Shadow Man jumped easily out of the way and it seamed like it was going to be a standoff. At least until Gemini Man came back with Guts Man and Elec Man. With a final burst of energy Proto Man leapt into the air and shot at Shadow Man who once again dodged the blast. Knowing he was in a hopeless situation Proto Man activated his teleporter and retreated.
