Chapter 3- The Dense Forest
Forte: I'm ready. I've been since yesterday.
Megaman: Good. Come down to the main lab.
Death: It's the day after Chapter 2. Megaman and Forte are about to go meet Proto Man at the Dense Forest.
Light: You are both ready, correct?
Forte: YES, already! How many times must I be asked??
Megaman: Just a sec....
Forte: What're you doing? What're you loading into your buster arm?
Megaman: I'm loading in a chip with special powers I got in the past. This one has Guts Man's Cold Man's, Metal Man's, Napalm Man's, and Spark Man's powers.
Forte: What do I get? You have an unfair advantage over me!
Megaman: Here, have this chip. It has Burner Man's, Tengu Man's, Astro Man's, Dynamo Man's, and Pirate Man's powers.
Forte: Good. I like those powers. Now, let's GO!
Light: All right, here are the coordinates Proto Man gave me. They'll take you to the Forest.
Megaman: Thanks.
Roll: Good luck!
Forte: I don't need any, thanks.
Roll: I wasn't talking to YOU, scum. I guess you'll need it a lot more than Megaman, though....
Forte: Ha! Yeah, right. I'll be the one saving Megaman's ASS out there.
Light: Go!
Death: So, Megaman and Forte finally leave. They teleport. They definitely arrive next to the Dense Forest, but the area is completely deserted.
Forte: That dick! He didn't even show up!
Megaman: Calm down, I'm sure he's coming.
Death: Sure enough, Proto Man arrives. He gives his trademark whistle and teleports to the rivals' side.
Proto Man: And now, we are here. No need to tell you that the Forest is dangerous. Be very careful. Try to avoid fighting; fighting attracts more rogue robots.
Forte: *grins* The more, the merrier.
Proto Man: *ignores Forte* I'll scout ahead and try to find clues that'll help us with finding the chip.
Megaman: And Wily.
Forte: *in suspicious tone* Why can't you stay with us, huh?
Proto Man: First of all, I'm a loner. You know that. Second of all, I thought you couldn't stand me. *smirks* Have fun. *teleports*
Forte: Ooh, I HATE him.
Megaman: Come on, we're wasting time. Let's go!
Death: The Dense Forest is truly very dark. As the two robots walk deeper and deeper into the Forest, beams of sunlight become more and more scarce. Eventually, they disappear altogether.
Megaman: Oh, well. It's not like we need sunlight to see.
Forte: I wonder what it's like at night in here.... Hopefully, I'll see some of those HORRIBLE rogue robots everyone fears.
Megaman: Well, I think we're about to see one now.
Forte: Oh, really? And what makes you think that?
Megaman: Something's crashing through the bushes right over there.
Forte: *looks at where Megaman's pointing* Yeah, I hear it now, too. *grins* Finally, an opportunity to warm up. Let me take this one on myself.
Megaman: Be my guest. It's all yours.
Death: A few seconds later, the noise stops. The robots wait. Then, all of a sudden, a robot resembling a tiny tank comes hurdling out of the bushes right at Forte. Megaman silently steps to the side. Forte gets enough time to see some of his plasma bullets bounce off the mini-tank before it plows him over. Forte raises his head to see it charging at him again. He just barely rolls out of the way in time. Forte springs back up. The mini-tank doesn't even turn around to face him; it keeps going.
Forte: Ha! Look at it run!
Death: Suddenly, the mini-tank points cannons behind it at Forte. He jumps into the air to avoid the laser blasts. He tries firing at it from above, but the bullets just bounce off the top of the mini-tank, too. When he lands, he gets hit by a rather large missile fired from the mini-tank's main cannon. Megaman winces. Forte goes flying into the air and hits the ground with a crash.
Forte: (Well, it's definitely got lots of brawn, but I bet it doesn't have any brains.)
Death: Forte makes a quick adjustment to his buster and projects an image of himself firing at the tank using Copy Vision. He then quickly rolls into a nearby bunch of bushes. Due to a very low IQ, the mini-tank mistakes the floating image for Forte and charges at it. Forte makes another adjustment to his buster. His image disappears. The mini-tank pauses, confused. Forte fires a Mine Bomb at the mini-tank. The bomb attaches itself to the mini-tank's main cannon. Forte detonates it, blowing the cannon off the mini-tank. It leaves an open wound. Forte dashes out of the bushes and, using his normal buster, fires at the wound. The mini-tank blows up.
Megaman: Very good. It's about time you finished that tank.
Forte: Bah! It was nothing.
Megaman: I dunno, that missile sure was something....
Death: Forte ignores Megaman and continues walking onward. Megaman smiles behind his back. ---------- It's several hours later. As it's now getting late, more and more rogue robots are showing up. Megaman and Forte have already battled and defeated quite a few of them. They have just finished off a group of robots that were built based on human robbers with knives.
Megaman: *exhausted* I really need to recharge. How can we do that with all these robots running around?
Forte: *snorts* Pussy. You need to recharge already?? Well, if you must, I guess I'll stand guard....
Death: So Megaman goes into quick-charge mode. It won't really recharge his main power center, but it'll save them time, and that's what's really important. Megaman finishes in 10 minutes, and he and Forte continue their search.
Megaman: I have this feeling that we're going nowhere real fast....
Forte: I wonder what PRICK Man is doing.... Not "scouting ahead," I gurantee you.
Megaman: Who knows?
Death: It's nighttime now. It's pitch black in the Forest.
Megaman: God, not even my night vision is helping me that much....
Forte: Did I just step on a piece of metal?
Death: Suddenly, they walk into a small clearing with moonlight pouring into it. Megaman and Forte turn off their night vision.
Megaman: What's with this big pile of junk here?
Forte: I dunno, but it's all scrap metal.
Megaman: Yeah, and it's all basically new. No rust, most of it's still shiny. Wait, who's that?
Death: 2 robots are approaching Megaman and Forte. One looks like an Eskimo and the other kinda looks like an orange train engine on legs.
Forte: Who ARE they?!
Megaman: I don't believe it! It's Ice Man and Charge Man!
Ice Man: You will go no farther.
Death: The fight begins. At first, Ice Man and Charge Man seem like a strange combination, but Megaman soon realized that they're deadly together. Ice Man uses Ice Slasher to freeze his opponents first. Then, Charge Man will ram into them as hard as he can. This combo is used several times on both Megaman and Forte. Megaman and Forte get hits in every once in a while, but not enough to do much damage. They try to use their special powers, but nothing they try is super-effective against Ice Man or Charge Man. Suddenly, though, Megaman gets an idea. He looks at Forte, but he's currently frozen and Charge Man is already dashing toward him. Megaman quickly uses Cold Man's Ice Wall to stop Charge Man for a second. Forte becomes unfrozen in that second.
Megaman: Use Lightning Bolt!
Forte: But... you'll get hit, too.
Megaman: I don't care, just do it!
Death: Forte does what he's told. Purple lightning bolts flash down twice. The sudden, powerful attack stuns Charge Man and Ice Man. Megaman takes his chance. He uses Guts Man's power to throw Charge Man at Ice Man. Charge Man is very heavy, and Ice Man explodes from the force of Megaman's throw. Now that Forte can actually get near Charge Man, he slashes Charge Man with Tengu Blade several times. Charge Man explodes.
Forte: *holding damaged arm* Well... that wasn't so bad.
Megaman: I gues.... How's your arm?
Forte: It's fine, fine... but I could use one of those Energy Cans that you got from that red freak.
Megaman: *tosses a Can to Forte* That "red freak" has a name. It's Eddie. *drinks a Can* Do you feel better now?
Forte: YES, I'm FINE. Shut up now. Let's think about this metal. Where did it come from??
Megaman: I don't know, but let's look around.
Death: They find various destroyed circuits and pieces of a monitor screen.
Megaman: Well, this was definitely a computer terminal, and it was definitely destroyed recently.
Forte: But why?? What's it doing in the middle of the Dense Forest?
Megaman: I dunno.... Hey, look! A data disk that's still fully intact!
Forte: Great. Now what do we DO with it?
Megaman: Take it to Light's lab. Let's teleport there now.
Forte: How do we get back here if we need to?
Death: Megaman calls Light with his comlink thingy. Light takes down the coordinates of the clearing so they can teleport back. Megaman and Forte teleport to Light's lab.
Light: Welcome back. Here, let's see that data disk.
Death: He puts it in the main computer's drive. He scans it for viruses. There are none. After a little hacking, Light displays the disk's data on the huge terminal screen.
Light: Plans for a mountain base, huh? Well, the closest mountain to the Forest is Thunder Mountain, and Wily can't have gone far if he left the Dense Forest so recently... but I stopped tracking him when he reached the Forest because he seemed to have stopped moving, so I never got information of him leaving the Forest.... I haven't seen him move since I stopped tracking him, but that doesn't mean anything. I've been mostly just making guesses as to where he's headed.
Megaman: But why didn't he destroy this data disk along with everything else...?
Death: Megaman's thoughts are interrupted by Proto Man giving his whistle and teleporting into the lab.
Proto Man: The answer to that is easy, Megaman. Wily was obviously in a hurry and simply overlooked the disk. It probably isn't that important to him if he wasn't careful enough to destroy it.
Forte: Sounds to me like we shouldn't even go to Thunder Mountain.
Proto Man: Oh, no, we should. It probably wasn't important to him because the plans were faulty or something. I bet he's still going to Thunder Mountain.
Megaman: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Forte: I don't know about this.... It could be a trick or something.
Megaman: You got a better plan?
Proto Man: It's better than just going back to the Dense Forest.
Forte: *sighs* All right....
Death: What's going to happen at Thunder Mountain? What will Megaman, Forte, and Proto Man find there? Is Forte right in worrying about following the data on the disk? Are pepperoni and onions the best pizza toppings?! The answers will PROBABLY be in *echo* Chapter 4- Thunder Mountain. As for the pizza toppings... well, that's for YOU to decide. ^_^
