ROCKMAN vs. MEGAMAN
Megaman laughed in the depths of the World 3 servers. He had so much power; he didn't even know what to do with it.
He accessed the list of available attack programs he now had. Fire Storm, Ice Slasher, Thunder Beam, Hyper Bomb, Rolling Cutter, Guts Punch, Atomic Fire, Quick Boomerang, Wood Shield, Air Shooter, Magnet Missile, Shadow Blades . . . the list went on and on. Megaman was virtually invincible, now.
Well, HE thought so, at least.
He activated the Dream Aura, which he'd acquired by deleting a prototype of the Dream Virus he'd discovered. He felt so invincible, he couldn't help but laugh. He had so much power, it lifted him up into the air and made him float just like Forte did.
Wily, however, had noticed the intrusion by now. You don't lose half of the data stored on your super secret protected server and NOT notice.
"You pest!" he screeched from his chair. "I'll make sure you never leave! Get him, Gamma!"
Megaman looked on impassively as the Net around him shook. He'd found a whole bunch of useless text files on this supposed super-virus known as Gamma, which combined the principals of the multi-bug organism with the Dream Virus or something like that. The result had been a self-replicating Dream Virus that corrupted anything it touched. A completely out-of-control monster.
Unfortunately for Wily, an out-of-control monster will never, EVER win against a high-powered psychotic out-of-control monster. The latter wins based on the matter of adjectives.
As Gamma roared into existence, Megaman grinned. This would be an excellent test of his abilities.
Blues stood facing the gate that sealed the World 3 server off from the rest of the Net. He was not alone. Rockman, Gutsman, Roll, and even Forte were there as well. Forte had nearly been attacked, but Roll had stopped them. Forte had assured everyone that once Megaman was deleted, he would leave them all alone for a little while.
They knew the risks, and they knew that they might not all survive the battle, but they were the best the Net had to offer, and at any cost, they had to take Megaman down.
It only occurred a few seconds before the proverbial fan-hitting that standing and staring at a door was how most of the Official Navis had been before they had gotten deleted.
Without any warning at all, the door suddenly exploded outward. The Navis scattered as a massive Virus flew by, slamming into the floor and sliding a ways before screeching to a halt.
"What the heck is that?" Roll asked.
Just as suddenly, a figure leapt from the smoke and landed on the virus, driving a glowing Dream Sword right through the head of the black Dream Virus.
The resulting explosion was tremendous, and threw every Navi except Megaman to the ground. As the light of the Virus's deletion died, Blues was the first to pick himself up and witness Megaman's transformation.
Energy crackled in the air around the Rockman clone. He seemed to be shaking in and out of focus as the Net shook around him. As Megaman began to absorb the power, he also began to scream in pain. Blues could only watch along with the other Navis as Megaman's form lit up. Slowly at first, his finger tips changed from the normal blue to a kind of transparent, glowing green. The change spread like an infection through Megaman's body, and soon there was no trace left of the original coloration.
As Megaman's screams of pain once again became horrific laughter, Rockman spoke. "What . . . what happened to him?"
Forte peered at the transformed terror. "I think . . ." he began shakily," he absorbed too much power. It's almost like the energy he holds is trying to fight its way out of him body . . ."
Gutsman looked at Forte, bewildered. "There's such a thing as TOO much power?"
Roll could only stare. Megaman slowly turned in the air to look at them all. His eyes had remained unchanged, which made his transformed look all the more unsettling.
"Well," Megaman's voice echoed with a strange harmonic, "now that I have achieved perfection, who wants to be my first victim?"
Rockman stood up and took a shaky step toward his glowing counterpart. "This ends now, Megaman."
Megaman barked a laugh. "Whelp! You couldn't even come close to touching me!"
Rockman stared resolutely at his opponent. Blues slowly stood, still feeling shaken. "I have your back, Rockman."
"As do I," Forte said as he regained his own footing.
"No," Rockman said, causing both to look at him, "he's my problem. I'll deal with him."
"Heroic fool," Forte muttered.
"Uh, Rockman, if I may point out that he beat the crap out of both of us AND that big huge virus?" Blues said. "Let us help you."
"No," Rockman said, taking another step forward.
Megaman laughed again. "So be it." One of his arms changed into a buster. "I'll delete every last ONE OF YOU!"
He dived toward the group, firing his buster wildly. Rockman dodged one of the incoming shots and returned with a charged shot he had stored up. The shot hit a barrier that had been previously hidden by Megaman, who laughed at the attempt to hurt him. He whirled in the air. "Area Steal!" He cried with glee.
Rockman had been prepared for this. "Battle Chip: Sword! Slot in!" Netto's voice came from the air. Rockman swung behind him with the sword, which crashed into Megaman's aura and shattered.
"FOOL!" Megaman shouted, wrapping an arm around the surprised Navi's neck. The pair of them rocketed into the air. Megaman grabbed Rockman's chin with one hand and twisted it with an impossible speed. At the same time, he released his grip, sending the blue Navi spiraling into the air and toward the ground. Gutsman rushed forward to catch his friend, but ended up taking a pair of buster shots from Megaman to the head. Nothing fatal, but it prevented him from reaching his goal.
Rockman slammed into the ground at a bad angles and bounced a few times before coming a rest in a painful position. Roll cried out and rushed over to him, but was also stopped by Megaman who bombarded her with Minibombs from above.
Forte growled and took to the air. He knew he had to get attention away from Roll if Rockman was going to live, so he charged Megaman head on.
Megaman grinned insanely as he spun to face Forte. He raised his buster and pointed it at Forte, but no shots came. Forte thought Megaman had made an oversight and grinned, but then his eyes widened as Megaman's arm blossomed into a cannon the size of a small train.
"Pure Cannon!" Megaman shouted with madness as the program advance came together and a beam of pure power slammed into Forte. Protected by his aura, Forte still couldn't stop himself from being bodily flung back to the ground. He slammed into the floor going at something less than the speed of sound, and he felt one of his legs go useless again. He cursed as the beam of energy died.
Blues took the opportunity to leap up at Megaman. He had a new trick he wanted to ry, and this seemed like the best time to try it. A small cursor on his visor pin pointed a spot right next to Megaman, and he went for it. "Delta Ray Edge!"
Megaman never saw it coming. The first sword slash went right through his aura and decimated part of his leg. With a flash of light, Blues was suddenly somewhere in another position, delivering a powerful slice to Megaman's chest. With a second flash of light, there was a new sword wound on Megaman's back. Blues's path was traced a a glowing triangle around Megaman.
The glowing Navi screamed in pain as Blues landed on the ground. He smiled at his opponent's pain before he heard Roll yell for him to watch out. He didn't have any time to react before Megaman tackled him from behind, knocking Blues off-balance. He didn't fall over, however, as Megaman twisted impossibly in the air and delivered a devastating kick to the side of Blues's head. Blues was unconscious before he slammed into Forte, sending them both tumbling in a tangle of busted limbs.
Megaman laughed and looked over at Rockman. Roll had managed to heal him enough to get him back on his feet. Megaman floated over to him. "Is this the best you have to offer? Wily's virus collection gave me a bigger challenge!"
Rockman grinned strangely at Megaman. "You shouldn't be so confident. There's always a backup plan."
Megaman felt something behind him for only a millisecond before the sword slammed into his back. He sailed over Rockman's head and bounced once before stopping in mid-air and righting himself. He growled at the newcomer. "Who the hell are you?" He barked.
The towering red newcomer looked at Megaman and raised his sword. "My name is Zero."
Megaman laughed in the depths of the World 3 servers. He had so much power; he didn't even know what to do with it.
