Mai: This is the rewritten version of NO HELP NEEDED. The third rewritten
version, actually. So anyway, I don't own Capcom. I'm on my religious side
- actually my only side left - and I've began deleting my FF and BOF
folders. Some may know the true reason. But those who don't, I'm going to
explain this on my fiction story. I'll post the address later. So, on with
the story.

CHAPTER I: THE SHORT START
~~
Hello. My name is Amber Ion Wily. I'm a special humanoid scholar studying under Dr. Elena Ion. Well, my whole life started as a good robot, following my creator's requests that ended up in letting me study in Dr. Light's Robot School. There I met friends, and rivals, and there I met the hero of the robots, Mega Man. He kind of saved us while the football robot players are playing on the stadium. It goes something like this:
~~
FLASHBACK
ALERT: NORMAL POV
Amber crawled behind one of the big machine. Normally, she wouldn't do this. But because of the special mechanic works she's endowned with by Dr. Ion, she could defy human orders as much as she wants. But there is also one advantage of this power right now.
It is because Dr. Wily's robots had once again attacked the facility, taking the scholar robots hostage.
'I think there is no other possible way out of this one.' She thought grimly. 'I better wait here.'
Her thoughts were crashed when she heard a cry - a feminine cry to be exact - from one of the other hiding places. Her instincts kicked out, and she took a peek. It seems that one of the Wilybots, a slender red armored robot with silver linings, a yellow scarf, and dark visor to cover his eyes, had found a young scholar with shoulder-length blonde hair and auburn eyes. She is wearing the common laboratory coat.
"Cara!" she cried, going out of her hiding place and confronting the red robot.
"Amber, don't!" the female robot screamed, restrained by the robot.
Proto Man had spotted the blonde robot hiding behind one of the bigger machines. But after receiving a cry from her, another came to the rescue of what seems to be her best friend. But this girl is very different. She had long brown braided hair and crystal blue eyes, and is wearing the same laboratory coat as the others. She looked like a nerd to the dumber Wilybots, but to him, she was very strange. Nevertheless, he showed his infamous Wilybot attitude.
"Well, well, what have we got here?" he asked, smirking as the robot confronted him. "One after the other?"
"I will request you to let go of her right now." Amber answered coldly, pronouncing the words slowly. "Or there'll be trouble."
"Hey, Proto Man!" a Wilybot called. "Let me handle her!"
"No, Turbo Man." He replied, not letting his eyes off Amber. "She's as dangerous as the football players. I'll take care of this."
"Damn right!" Amber snarled. Eyeing her best friend in the strong clutches of Proto Man, her angry glare turned into a smirk. "You know, Cara, if Hawk sees you like this, he's likely to kill Proto Man."
"Amber!" Cara retorted. "Get a life! At least he CARED!"
"Well, I already have a life." The brunette shrugged her shoulders. "And it's being a robot scholar with a degree." After dealing with her, she turned to Proto Man. "Proto Man, right? I would suggest you leave Cara out of this. If you want someone to get things done here, you better talk to me. I'm not kidding about my short life story."
Proto Man broke into a smirk. "Alrighty then, I'll let go of this friend of yours." He released his hold on Cara, and Cara scrambled out. She looked back at Amber.
"Amber..."
Amber looked at Cara. "Go. I'll handle this." I turned towards the Wilybots. "It's my fault in the first place that they are in this position." When she didn't made any attempt to run away, Amber turned sharply at her. "GO!"
Cara nodded slightly and ran away. Amber now faced all three Wilybots present: Proto Man, Guts Man, and Turbo Man. 'And now, time to deal with the pieces of trash Dr. Albert Wily developed.'
Proto Man didn't want to waste that much time. He raised his buster. "Okay, Miss Amber, come right here."
She only glared at him. "Don't you EVER DARE address me with a MISS, you Wilybot!"
Proto Man was startled by this sudden outburst. "And why so, Amber?"
She approached him slowly, not longer in hot water. "I just don't like the sound of my name like that while I'm inside this facility."
"Oh, I see." He shrugged his shoulders. "Now, you tell me where Dr. Light's files are kept. I'm sure that you must know the password."
"I can lead you there, but I'm not the holder of the passwords. There is only one robot who knows all the codes here, and even the name of that particular robot I haven't know yet."
"Fine. Just lead me there." Turning to the two henchmen, Proto Man said, "You two stay here and guard those bimbos. I'll see what this beauty can show me."
Remembering some words from Dr. Ion, she muttered something about Proto Man giving the robots the wrong idea, and that she's not something you can call as beautiful.
A few minutes of leading Proto Man into the very center of the facility, she stopped at a door and punched some codes. When it opened, the red robot leaned on her shoulder, smirking.
"I thought only one robot knows the codes. Could that one robot be you?"
"I've said it before, I'll say it again. No. These are the common commands to open level one to level five rooms." They entered the room, and Amber pointed at a huge bolted door inside. "There, that's the place."
Proto Man raised his visor up long enough for Amber to notice the blueness of his eyes. "Well, isn't this a load!" He turned to the brunette, who he found staring at him. "What? Found someone you like, Amber?"
"Stop flattering yourself, Wilybot." Amber sneered, turning her head to another direction, crossing her arms. A chuckle escaped her lips. "I'm willing to bet that Cara has contacted someone by now."
"What?"
His answer was never answered, as a loud crash of glass and plasma greeted him. The next thing Amber knew, she was on the ground, protected by someone, the person's arms around her, and a thumping.
"Hey, you alright?" the person asked, causing Amber to open her eyes to see an armor of blue. Looking up, she was greeted by a pair of cerulean eyes. Blinking, she turned her attention to Proto Man, who was lying on the ground. There she found another presence. There was a red and yellow armored girl with blonde hair in a ponytail and a red dog. The person followed Amber's line of sight and sighed exaperatedly. "Roll! Honestly, you need to see Dr. Light for that."
"Sorry, Mega." Roll apologized. "This thing won't work even if you put a hundred dollars in it." Proto Man had stand up.
"Well, I guess I overstayed my visit." He remarked. "See you later, bro." Again, he disappeared mysteriously.
"Sometimes, I can't understand him." Mega Man sighed again.
"Mega?" Amber repeated what she heard from Roll. She turned to her hero, who didn't let go of her yet. "You are Dr. Light's creation, Mega Man?"
"Nice to meet you." He answered, smiling.
Obviously, this was not the reply Amber expected. After a while, she noticed her very uncomfortable position. "Umm, Mega Man? You can let go of me now."
Mega Man blinked, and released his hold. Both of them stand up, blushing slightly. Roll noticed this and smirked.
"Is that a blush I see, Mega?" she asked. "I never knew robots could blush!"
Mega shakes his head and turned to Amber. "Well, umm, your friend Cara had contacted us. Unfortunately, Dr. Light was out, doing some experiments with Dr. Cossack. But you can always contact us at Dr. Light's laboratory, umm, Miss..."
"Amber Ion." She replied quickly. "Amber would do fine."
Mega Man and Roll exchanged glances. "You're Dr. Elena's robot, right?" After receiving a nod, the two exchanged smiles. Mega Man turned back to the brunette, who seems to be confused. "You see, Dr. Elena was another colleague of Dr. Light's along with Dr. Cossack and," he frowned. "Dr. Wily. Dr. Light had told me about your creator really happy on creating you."
"It's nice to know that." She answered, smiling.

~~
That was the first time I met Mega Man. We meet regularly, since Dr. Ion and Dr. Light are always attending the same conferences. It was no mystery that I'd feel something strange for him. But I wasn't able to confirm those feelings though, when Dr. Wily captured me and used me for his own brilliant plans. He reprogrammed me to be a double agent, both working for him and Dr. Ion. And to make sure that I don't get out of hand, he constructed a memory chip that would transform me into another type of robot.
Well, if you're not aware of this, the robot I'm talking about is named Leila. She is a prototype, with darkest hair and black eyes. Her loyalty only remains with Dr. Wily, no matter what. So basically, I fight and work against and with Mega Man. But I know that I already aroused suspicion within the other robots, particularly Proto Man, who has turned back into the good side and is now fighting with Mega Man. I am under a robot named Bass, who is now my half-brother, if I know any better.
I never knew that this day will be the last day of my being a robot. Thanks to Bass' new schemes, he hacked several robotic plans and stumbled upon a reploid plan sheet. Giving it to Wily, the old goat locked himself inside his laboratory, working endlessly days and nights to make a reploid suited for his needs. One time both Bass and I (as Leila, since I can't stand seeing him myself) peered into the room, and saw the reploid.
After working on the reploid, he set work on me. I didn't know why he chose me over Bass for the work, but he muttered something about 'sisterly love is different from brotherly love' or something like that. So he redesigned me, literally took my parts apart, and fitted me with a new armor and new system, but he spared the two CPU chips residing in my head.
After giving me some pieces of advice - including the fact that the reploid went berserk a while ago and fought some robots outside, including Mega Man and went back to unconsciousness - , he left me alone, pondering what am I going to do. Then Bass came and handed me a gift- a light saber. Well, at the very least, I know that I'm loved. I then said my last words to him before I take the longest sleep I'll ever have in my entire life.
~~
I felt like my circuits were being trashed.
But that wasn't right...I mean, I was in statis, and...
There I realized I have to open my eyes! My eyes, darn it!
"You're awake, I see."
As I open my eyes, I was greeted by a pair of narrow icy blue eyes. A blush crept to my cheek as I realized that this certain person is on top of me, on top of the statis pod, shaking me. On pure instict, I pushed my arms towards his direction, causing him to topple out of the pod and land on his back. I breathed heavily, and stood up.
"Hey, that hurts..." he moaned, standing up. He eyed me like I was his prey. "So this is what I get from waking you, isn't it?"
I wasn't paying close attention as I looked at myself at a shiny part of a discarded metal wall. I looked so different - a blue skintight cotton with blue-green armor covering my lower arms, shoulder blades, chest, and my hips down, and the same kind of metal for my boots. I still have my long brown hair, under a blue-green helmet - so much different from my robot state.
"Hey, I'm talking to you."
I was startled again to see the same person who woke me approached me. There I blinked, really realizing who the hell is this person. "Zero..."
He stopped in his tracks. "Zero...is that my name?"
"As father told me." I replied curtly. After getting him to finally shut up, I started talking. "My name is Amber. I am here to aid you, and to show you much of this uncharted world."
For the remainder of the day, I began lecturing him while scanning what's left of the Skull Castle. There I noticed that he was much different from the robots Wily created. He can be mistook for a human at first glance, with those blue eyes and that cold demeanor. He wears red titanium X armor, with parts with gold or white or silver, two green gems on the chest plate, a red crescented (AN: Did I get that right?) helmet with a blue gem on the middle of the white part located at the center. I also noticed that he has long blonde hair, as long as mine, anyway.
After the lecture, we both went out of the deserted laboratory, and was greeted by the warm rays of the sun. I'd never thought of going out of that place!
~~
We both decided to reach civilization - as we all know that Dr. W loves deserted areas, mostly canyons, to build his hideout - and now we're both standing on the sidewalks of the Neo-Tokyo.
While walking, I learned once again how Dr. Wily hates his fellow humans, and his creation reflected on it. Zero looked irritated, but refused to show it in front of me. I am a different case. I don't mind humans, since I was born amongst them, lived with them, and befriended them. Which shows that I'm not really Wily's creation. But Zero definitely is.
I need to test how Zero's patience stretches, and to somehow motivate him not to hide his emotions from me. In the middle of Neo-Tokyo, I brandished the light saber Bass gave me, and instantly killed a young man, probably in his mid-twenties, but I don't care. I stared at Zero, letting him swallow what I'm spoon-feeding to him. There he finally snapped, taking his frustration at the innocent citizens nearby.
In this commotion, I noticed a little girl, half my height, crying. I think she's separated from her mother. My heart burned at that sight. Zero was already berserk, and in no time, he might reach the little girl and kill her. But the child is too innocent...I can't let her die...not now, anyway. I grabbed her and took her as far away as possible. I scanned the downtown, and saw a woman, somewhere in her thirties, crying her eyes out. That had got to be her mother. I gave the kid to her mother, who looked at me as if I'm a fallen angle. Problem is, I _am_ a fallen angel. I disregarded her mutter of thanks and returned to Zero.
When I returned, I can't find him! Darn! I shouldn't've let him out of my sight! Looking around, I saw the carnage he left behind. A hand at my left, blood spills on my right, mangled bodies around. Remorse wasn't at my systems now, for I am not like a human.
