Note: In this chapter I'm going to answer Rebel X's request for descriptions of the new Robot Masters though I'm only going to describe some of them. The reason is that I'm still trying to figure out what some of them look like, and I know I should have thought of that already but . . . :(


Chapter Three: Wily's Eight



"Well at least we got the disk so he isn't too mad at us." Hydro Girl said as the walked down the corridor of the skull fortress. They'd just left Dr. Wily's Main lab after delivering the disc and giving their report.

Bass didn't answer her. He was busy trying to keep his mind off of Wily for a while. Finally he settled for contemplating the strange design's of the latest batch of robot masters.

Hydro Girl for one looked typical enough. She wore a battle outfit similar to Proto Man's with several differences. Her helmet didn't have a visor. Instead it had a crest on top that was designed to look like a fish fin. Most of her outfit was Sea-green except for her boots and two horizontal stripes around her waist that were yellow. Her hair was blonde and chin length and on her left temple was a blue marking shaped like waterdrop.

"That didn't change the fact that he was mad." Strata Girl said darkly. "We did after all blow our cover."

Strata Girl was different. Though most of her own outfit was like Hydro Girl's she was the only Robot Master in the current group who didn't wear a helmet. She wore a dark blue headband with a purple star-shaped crystal in the center. Her lower arms and boots were purple while the rest was royal blue. She had a purple quiver strapped to her back where she kept her Strata Arrows and her bow was on her shoulder.

"Why didn't you destroy that black and gray robot Strata Girl?" Heavy Man asked.

"Because she dodged everything we threw at her. It would have taken too long and we didn't have a reason to hang around anyway since Techno Man managed to get the disc." Strata Girl answered.

"You still got in trouble!" annoyingly familiar(At least to them) voice sang from behind. (Note: Think Rini's voice from Sailor Moon S and Super S)

They turned to find the source and saw another of the new Robot Masters leaning with one hand against a wall and a mischievous grin plastered on her face. This one's helmet, lower arms, and boot's were pink, along with a diagonal stripe that went down at her waist to the left and up over her right shoulder making it look like a sash. The rest of her outfit was white including two lightning bolt symbols on her helmet (one on either side). A blonde ponytail stuck out near the top of the helmet.

Now that I think about it, the little brat looks kind of like Mega Man's little sister Roll with green eyes, Bass thought before speaking. "What do you want Quick Girl?" Well that's an original name, "Shouldn't you be playing with your little dolls or wrecking the lab or something along those lines?"

"I don't play with dolls and that was an accident." Quick Girl Answered, unfazed. "The five of you weren't the only one's on a mission last night you know."

"Oh, really?" Techno Man asked, genuinely interested.

"Yeah. Me and the others were on a very important mission last night." Quick Girl said proudly.

"And what was that exactly?" Hydro Girl asked skeptically.

"We'll tell you what it was." Another voice answered ( Note: Think Rika's voice from Digimon 03).

Two more Robot Masters walked up to the group.

"We have 'guests'." The one who had spoken first added smugly. She had the same basic design as the other girls but her lower arms, boots and helmet were dark red and the rest was orange. On the front of her helmet just above her forehead was a gold flame symbol.

The green and brown Robot Master next to her nodded and grinned. "Very spacial 'guests'." He agreed. (Note: think Ken from Digimon 02's voice when he was the Digimon Emperor)

"Pyro Girl, Terra Man, Stop being so damn cryptic and just tell us!" Bass said impatiently.

"We could but we wouldn't like to spoil the surprise now would we." Pyro Girl replied slyly.

"Yeah I can't wait to see the looks on your faces!" Quick Girl quipped up. She started bouncing rapidly down the hall giggling like a little girl as she went. She only stopped once to turn around and shout while bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, "C'mon, lets go!" before bouncing away again.

Pyro Girl and Terra Man snickered and followed at a leisurely pace.

"Honey, as much as I'd like to know what your goin' on about I've got more important things to do." Hydro Girl said as she headed in the opposite direction. "So you little children go off and have fun without me, and I'll be seein' you later."

"Come to think of it I have something I must do as well." Techno Man said as he also headed in a different direction, waving to the others as he went.

Bass sighed in irritation as he watched Quick Girl's progress down the hall then followed. "It seem's that someone's still missing." he noted as Strata Girl and Heavy Man joined him.

"Do ya mean Jet Man?" Heavy Man asked.

Strata Girl Scoffed. "Well of course he mean's Jet Man."

She gave Bass a side-long glance. "Knowing that idiotic 'Proto Man Lookalike' he's probably off somewhere playing that stupid video game of his." She sighed and rolled her eyes before adding "I swear he's almost as bad as Quick Girl."

At this the aforementioned robot stopped bouncing and spun around.

"HEY!!!"

*************************

C'mon Cyndaquil, The black and silver Robot Master named Jet Man rapidly pressed the buttons on his Game Boy Advanced as he battled the rival trainer on the small screen.

Ever since he'd 'found' the GBA and a copy of Pokemon Crystal version during an outing he'd been playing with it whenever he could spare the time.

Dr. Wily ground his teeth as he tried to concentrate on his work and ignore the music and sound coming from the game until finally....

"TURN THAT OFF!!!" Wily snapped, wheeling around to glare at his 'youngest' creation.

Jet Man's response was to jump slightly then quickly turn the volume off and continue to play without a word.

Wily considered clarifying his order by telling Jet Man to turn the whole game off but thought better of it.

Knowing him he'll just get bored and do something just as distracting. "Why don't you take that somewhere else?"

No response.

Not that he'd really expected any. Like most of this latest batch of Robot Masters, maybe even more than the others, Jet Man had the annoying habit of occasionally choosing to ignore or question orders. Not something Wily had been attempting to do but they did as they were told often enough that he usually let it go.

On top of that there was the fact that Jet Man was the most reserved Robot Master Wily had ever built and whenever he did decide to speak (a rare occurrence) it was never above a whisper.

Well, Wily thought as returned to his work, At least that noise has stopped

*************************


Hydro Girl floated on her back across the surface of the water in the swimming pool that had been built to test the underwater capabilities of the water based Robot Masters.

If she were human, she thought as she remembered Quick Girl's hyperactive behavior earlier, something that was hard to forget, I'd say she'd had to much sugar sometime today. But then she's almost always like that isn't she?

Hydro Girl knew the pink and white robot did it because it annoyed the h*** out of Bass, something she, Strata Girl and (Occasionally) Pyro Girl liked to do.

She also did it when she particularly excited about something but she could be mature when she chose to be.

I wonder. if it was because she was excited about something, what was it? Hydro Girl frowned. Maybe I should have gone with the others after all. Oh well, I suppose Dr. Wily will tell us sometime in the near future.

********************


"Ooh, what hit me?" Mega Man groaned as he woke up. The last thing he remembered was walking was coming in to the lab to check on Dr. Light. Finding no one around he was about to look else where when something hit him from behind and he blacked out.

He sat up, shook his head, and opened his eyes. It looked like he was in a mostly empty room. The walls and floor were made of metal and there was nothing in here except him and—

"What the– Dr. Light, Roll!" Mega Man got up and started toward them only to bump into some kind of invisible wall.

"Ow!"

He fell back on his butt and looked up in surprise. Where'd that come from?

He stood back up and reached out with both his hands. He felt but couldn't see a solid wall. He looked down and saw he was standing in a metal ring about five feet wide.

It must be part of some kind of force field generator! He realized as he looked and saw that Roll and Dr. Light (both still unconscious) were each lying in the centers of similar metal rings. There was another metal ring next to the one Mega Man was in and the Blue Bomber had a feeling he knew who that had been meant for.

At least that means Proto Man's still free. I hope. Just then a door slid open and a pink and white robot bounded in looking excited about something. What the– she looks kinda like Roll!

She was quickly followed by a red and orange robot and a green and brown robot.

The red and orange robot grinned evilly. "Well look who finally decided to wake up. Good morning blue boy."

As she spoke three more robots walked in. One of which was–

"Bass! I should known you and Wily were behind this." Mega Man exclaimed.

Bass seemed surprised to see him. "So this is the very important mission Quick Girl was going on about. Nice of you drop in Megs. I hope your enjoying your stay."
