Chapter 10 - MMRNC

Zero enters the recyle lab. A ceiling threatens to crush him, unless he ducks in the right spots. He does, of course, and easily reaches the shutter.

WARNING!!!

Zero: I hate that "WARNING!!!" sign. It takes an hour for the thing to fade away.

The shark - based maverick appears.

Zero: Hello, Nightmare Investigator. What is your name?

Shark-based Maverick: My name is Metal Shark Player.

Zero blinks a few times.

Zero: Excuse me?

MSP: Metal Shark Player.

Zero: Oh my god. That has to be the absolute WORST name for a Maverick boss I have ever heard. I mean, at least Duff McWhalen's name made sense. It was a whale robot. But... Metal Shark Player?

MSP: ...Um...Well...You see... I'm so good at recyling that I can resurrect dead bosses.

Zero blinks repeatedly.

Zero: WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR NAME?

MSP: Um... I... play... with them? Yeah, that's it. I'm a shark that plays with metal.

Zero: Necrophilliac?

MSP: Well, yes. But instead of asking awkward questions, I think we should fight.

Meanwhile, in the central museum, X finds a Dr. Light capsule.

X: OK X, be calm. Smile. And most importantly, be polite.

Dr. Light: Good day, m'boy.

X: Yo, wazzup?

Dr. Light: How dare you use that kind of punk talk with me!

X: Oh crap.

Dr. Light: And now you curse? I was gonna give you this really cool ubergun, but instead I'll give you the helmet for the crappy blade armor.

X: NOOOOO!!!

The vision disappears. X recieves the part. Moving forward, X reaches the shutter.

WARNING!!!

A dung beetle - robot pushes a rock into the arena, making odd Japanese grunts.

X: Good day, Maverick. What's your name?

Dung beetle: Ground Scaravich.

X blinks, then collapses to the floor, laughing.

X: LOL! ROTFLOL!

X: Oh, the MegaMan Robot Naming Committee never fails to make really stupid names. OK, I'm just gonna kill you now.

GS pushes the small rock towards X. X shoots it a couple of times and destroys it. GS runs away.

X: Come back here, coward!

GS returns, carrying a giant rock. X blows it away, and GS retreats, still making Japanese grunts.

X: This is a lot easier than I thought it would be.

GS returns, carrying a mountain.

X: ...Oh crap.

X is crushed by the mountain. GS retreats to get more mountains.

X: ...Ow. Better go to plan B...
