ROCKMAN vs. MEGAMAN
Serenade simply stood there as Megaman threw another wave of plasma at him. Why should he move? He'd been reflecting Megaman's shots back at him all day, so why change strategy now?
All in all, Serenade was getting bored. The blue Navi just jumped to avoid the rebounded plasma shots and fired more, making him dodge more. Serenade could hardly see what this was accomplishing.
He decided to up the ante.
Serenade drew one arm back, another wave of plasma bouncing off of his shields. He took careful arm, and then threw a pink ball of sparkling energy at Megaman. The ball zig-zagged and changed direction, making it hard to dodge. The level of disgust Megaman had for the color of the attack wasn't helping him dodge it either.
Eventually, the attack slammed into Megaman's chest, leaving a pink, sparkling residue. Megaman shook his head and rubbed his chest. He looked down at himself.
"Are you sure you're not a girl?" Megaman asked.
Serenade sighed. He hated this question. "Yes, I am very sure."
"Oh," Megaman said, standing up. He raised a buster and charged it, growling, "Because the frickin' BARBIE attacks really don't help your case for being a guy any!" With that, Megaman charged at Serenade.
Serenade smirked as Megaman ran straight into his barriers. It must have been like hitting a brick wall. Megaman staggered back a few steps, glaring at Serenade.
"What?" the protected Navi asked innocently.
"Cheap little . . ." Megaman continued with a string of words that would needlessly raise this story's rating. A lot.
"Now, now, don't get mad," Serenade smirked.
"I'm not made," Megaman said in a low voice. With one, lightning swift hand, he reached out and grabbed one of Serenade's rotating barriers. Serenade's eyes went wide as Megaman withstood the initial shock of the barrier and held it in place. No one else was supposed to be able to see the barriers! What was going on here?
"I'm FRICKIN' FURIOUS!" Megaman roared, shoving his buster over the now still barrier and into Serenade's chest. Megaman laughed as he let the charge shot fly.
There was a bright flash, and suddenly both combatants were a good distance apart. Serenade sighed with relief. He'd been able to bring the second barrier around to stop the buster in time. Obviously, Megaman hadn't anticipated such a maneuver, but how had he . . .?
"So," Serenade said over the ringing in hi ears, "you can see my barriers?"
Megaman chuckled. "Not quite. I knew you had some kind of protection, nut I didn't know what kind. So I had to figure out the dynamics of your shield things."
"How did . . ." it dawned on Serenade about the same time the grin crossed Megaman's face. "The barrages! Those were all just to figure out how my shields worked?" Incredible.
"Not the most efficient method, I know," Megaman admitted. "But now I know there's two shields. Now you're toast."
Serenade laughed. "Why should I have only two? I could have four! I could have eight! You have no way of knowing!"
Megaman laughed back. "Looked at your shields lately?"
Serenade looked puzzled. Checking behind him, he saw his shields, just like he always did, but there was something different about them. The were covered in . . .
"In a way," Megaman said, "I should thank your stupid Barbie attack. That thing stains like there's no tomorrow. Now that your shields are pink and sparkly, I'll have no problem at all hitting you."
Serenade looked at the blue Navi with a refreshed horror. "Incredible . . ." he couldn't stop himself from saying.
Megaman grinned and activated a sword. He began to charge toward Serenade with a freight train's resolve. Serenade brought both barriers forward, visibly shaking with worry that Megaman could now see his barriers. He didn't even realize that Megaman wanted the barriers around in front.
"Battle Chip: Bamboo Lance!" Megaman cried triumphantly. Serenade realized what was happening, as always, far too late. Six sharpened shafts of bamboo plunged into his back. He screamed with the pain. Megaman leaped into the air, intending to cleave Serenade in two with his sword. Serenade was in too much pain to muster the control needed to bearing his barriers up to block the blow. There was only one thing left to do.
