Here's Chapter 2. Hopefully, this chapter and the first chapter will help
explain the importance of the island and kind of how they all meet each
other. It's pretty damn long, though. But if you can wear through it,
it'll at least give hint of what's about to come. Happy reading!

Chapter 2
POV = MegaMan/ProtoMan/Roll/Bass
While X's plane hummed over the ocean, many years ago, another plane hummed over that same ocean, toward the same destination. But instead, this plane was having problems. Big problems.
PAST
Roll looked around happily in her seat. The room was a very common room, with clean walls, and clear walls. It was pure white, with no design. The floor was tiled white, and the ceiling held the same blank look as the walls. There were many chairs, and small plants were propped up against the white wall. A phone hung in the right-hand corner of the room, and a computer stood in the bottom-let corner. Roll turned around to see two people around her. She saw her beloved brother MegaMan, and her half- brother ProtoMan. She squirmed in her seat. She was happy. She was finally going on a vacation. MegaMan, ProtoMan, and her all argued with Dr. Light to go on one. Finally, Dr. Light agreed. They had left Rush and Auto to watch over their old father, and decided to take a plane to a slightly remote island somewhere in the Southern Pacific. She broke the silence by talking.
"Hey MegaMan! Aren't you so happy we're finally going on vacation?"
"Hmmm?" MegaMan turned around to look at his sister. A tall blonde-haired robot, she didn't look like a fighter robot, but she did have some certain skills that had helped him greatly in the past. Of course, she was still better as a household robot because often she did more harm than good. "Yeah, actually I am. I'm so glad we can stop worry about Wily for a while and just go and relax." MegaMan turned around to look at his brother. Clad in gray armor with red boots and gloves, he sat slightly behind them with a smug look on his face. His red helmet, which he never took off, glinted in the artificial light. His yellow scarf hung limp at his side.
"Hmm? What? I wasn't paying attention."
"ProtoMan! Come on! I was asking whether or not you were happy about this vacation!"
"Oh yeah. Not really. I'd rather be hanging around back with Dr. Light and looking for Bass. We've almost convinced him that our life is better than his."
MegaMan thought about Bass and sighed. Bass, the powerful purple robot created by Wily was he and his brother's most common enemy. He would show up from time to time and try to destroy him, or sometimes Bass would show up with us dog, Treble, and attack anything around. MegaMan had always believed in everybody having a bit of good in themselves, and he had always believed in Bass. But all Bass wanted to do was crush MegaMan in a humiliating defeat.
"Trust me ProtoMan. Even though I wish that Bass would come with us, I seriously doubt he will. I just want to take some time, and give my mind a rest. That way, I can go back and be ready to battle again."
As MegaMan spoke these words, the ship suddenly began to shake. ProtoMan stood up, worried about his younger siblings.
"What was that?"
ProtoMan had switches his arm to a buster as the shaking stopped.
MegaMan didn't hesitate. "We'd better check it out."
"I agree. I skimmed over the plans to the ship earlier. There's an escape ship in the lower hatches. Roll, you should head there and get it ready if something's up."
Roll stood up. "Got it. Good luck you two! And be careful!"
Roll walked to the ladder in the right corner and clambered down it. MegaMan and ProtoMan looked at each other, and without needing to say a word, ran to the door.
Blam! MegaMan's buster sizzled over the blast form his buster.
A gasp escaped MegaMan as the smoke cleared to reveal the maintenance hallway with the plane's robots. "ProtoMan! Look at all the robots! They've all been deactivated!"
Robots lay littered on the ground. Some were in pieces, some barely counted as robots, their parts over the floor and their oil and fluids all over the walls. ProtoMan looked around in disgust, and silently motioned MegaMan to get to the other door. ProtoMan and MegaMan flattened themselves against the walls right beside the door, and ProtoMan suddenly turned around and kicked in the door. MegaMan and ProtoMan both held up their busters to see who they least expected to see. Bass.
He was faced the other way, looking at a small computer screen. As MegaMan and ProtoMan stepped forward, Bass stiffened up, then relaxed and turned around to face them. "Heh. So you're both here." Bass' orange fins on his helmet stood sharp, and clean, unlike the last battle where MegaMan had almost destroyed Bass' helmet. ProtoMan looked at Bass with a sneer.
"So, you're here to do Wily's dirty work, huh? Planning to get beat again?"
Bass took a step forward as he stuck out his fist and shook it at the two. "Never!"
ProtoMan immediately went into a dive, and rolled to the side. He aimed his buster and shot one shot as Bass jumped over it with ease. He powered up his buster and shot as he landed. Before the blast could hit ProtoMan, another blast from MegaMan intercepted it and canceled it out.
"Bass! You don't have to fight us! Join us in our fight against Wily! You've done it before! Why not do it again?"
"MegaMan, I only did it for my own reasons. Now, my goal is to turn you into scrap metal!" Bass jumped into the air and shot 3 blasts from his blaster. MegaMan shifted to the right, dodging the first shot, and then jumped to avoid the next shot, but the final shot hit MegaMan straight in his chest in the air. He fell to a ground with a thud and panted for breath. Before Bass could shoot again, ProtoMan ran in front of Bass and punched him in the face. Bass fell to the ground hard. He got up angrily, but before he could start the fight again, a familiar raspy voice came through a radio laying on the table with the computer screen.
"Bass! What are you doing! Get back here and stop fooling with those two! I didn't tell you to, so don't do it!"
MegaMan got up, shaking his head. ProtoMan crossed his arms and sneered again at Bass.
In a little baby voice, ProtoMan shouted to Bass : "Oh, does wittle Bass have to go to his wittly Wily?"
"Shut up! I'll deal with you two later. See you around." And with that, Bass teleported away.
MegaMan turned to ProtoMan and put up his hands in an act of exasperation.
"Great vacation, huh?"
ProtoMan laughed at his brother. After they had both relaxed a bit, MegaMan and ProtoMan rushed to the end of the hallway just in time to be caught in an explosion. MegaMan and ProtoMan were both thrown backward at least 10 feet, and lay there, shocked until they heard a very familiar voice speak from out of the shadows..
"Well, well, well. If it ain't the two heroes!"
ProtoMan had gotten up from the ground and aimed his buster and the new robot. A tall robot, he had red boots, knee pads, and busters, and he also had a red chest plate with shoulder extensions. The rest of his armor was gray. His head seemed actually like a flaming pot with a face. He stood towering over them with flame coming out of his busters. The door he had blasted lay burnt and destroyed at the other end of the hall.
"Humph. It's time for you two to burn!"
"That's what you think!"
MegaMan got up and jumped toward the wall, while FireMan rushed at ProtoMan. ProtoMan dodged FireMan's first fireball, but was caught by FireMan's kick. ProtoMan was knocked back a bit but quickly recovered. Before FireMan could get off another attack, MegaMan rebounded off the wall and tackled FireMan. MegaMan aimed his buster at FireMan's chest, but was kicked off by FireMan. MegaMan did a somersault and landed on his feet. FireMan looked up just in time to see MegaMan's buster erupt with a bang. The resulting blast threw MegaMan backward, and left FireMan with a burnt hole in his armor, revealing his inner circuits. Fireman stumbled backward, and shook his head while looking in disbelief at the gaping hole in his armor. He came back to his senses just as ProtoMan fired a shot into his inner circuitry. A sizzle and a burn afterwards, and FireMan fell to the ground and didn't move. MegaMan got up from where he was thrown back, and looked at FireMan. A shocked expression was still in FireMan's eyes. His hole in his armor had now extended to the other side. The inner circuitry that ProtoMan had blasted laid in ruins inside FireMan's scrapped body.
"MegaMan, let's go."
"Yeah."

This chapter was pretty long. And actually, it's not over! It'll continue later, after X's next chapter. Hopefully, this'll help make sense of how this all ties together. Trust me, it gets a lot less confusing later. You'll just have to read it and see. Don't forget to post!
