When morning came, the next shift of patrols woke up a little late as usual but they didn't make much difference about the event which occurred in the previous dark hours. A boisterous blue kid bounded into the crowd as the commotion swelled around the six severed robots. Some were giggling while most were typically just pointing and having a spicy gossip. But not to Megaman/Rock, he blamed himself for being a robot who needs to sleep because, for all he knew, his dear father might have been the one laying there with the cockroaches playing a few rounds of pokers on his belly instead.

Speak of the devil; the bearded benevolent professor shoved his massive body of biological object into the heart of the fuss to stand next to his masterpiece.

"Rock, what happened here?"

Rock rubbed his baby-smooth chin, "I'm not sure dad, but I think its Bass, oh no! Did you lose anymore blueprints?"

"...I have a very strong feeling that I have..." Dr. Light cringed as he remembered leaving them exposed while he slept out of exhaustion.

"I'm sorry dad, I extremely am! Sorry that I've disappointed you yet again. One of Dr. Wily's robot masters had done this once I was at his castle and now ... Bass has made off with the second half of the plans." His eyes sunk as he felt the humongous responsibility of protecting the ones he love weighing down on him just like whenever he faces Dr. Wily and his crazy contraptions.

"No, it's my fault, Rock! But now is not the time for self-reflection, we have to get the blueprints back or else, even your yet-to-be brother won't be able to stop whatever Dr. Wily is about to unleash upon this sleepy world! sigh I guess we have to count on you once more son, make me proud for the umpteenth time." Dr. Light's rosy cheeks puffed with warmth as he smiled to comfort his 'number one' son.

Rock received the encouragement as any other innocent twelve year-old would and nodded to confirm it.

Back at the central spiral tower of the Skull Fortress, the devil was still in his frame, just waiting to be filled in with the best of the best. His creator was trying to solve the problem of he's enemy's potentially- invincible robot, which hinders his path towards achieving a tyrant-ruled planet, by none other than himself.

"Bass! Why is Centaurman's tail still here?"

Bass on the other hand, was nothing like his dad; well, he wasn't self- obsessed to say the least. He was simply dying to meet his brother and together with Treble, they shall paint the town red in blood, the blood of Megaman.

"All of you! Prepare to lose your foolish hero! Because...because...(Thunk!),ouch!" Bass fidgeted and shot his killer-red eyes to the source of the attack. The sun's beams were scattered by his presence at the balcony, causing Dr. Wily to get dizzy and frustrated of the shivering lights.

"Quit blocking the light, can't you tell that the electricity is no longer circulating the lights in this whole condemned building? And keep it down! Can't you see that I'm trying to work here? I don't want half the city at my door step when your brother is still in construction, especially if they have Mega-pesky with them! Kids... and the next time you shout, it will more than just a can flying towards you, Bass!" The old mathematician fumed and would tear Bass's lips and replace them with a fish's.

"Yeah, yeah, watch out for your high blood pressure you old crook! Although I would sure like to see the old bony hands of yours, even be able to budge anything larger than a can to throw at me" The old wily snarled in defeat and Bass beamed in satisfaction of yet another unnecessary win over his father. The rebellious attitude of his was also part of the package of making him as human as could be imagined. Treble trotted by the remaining dirt from the last encounter with Megaman towards the bed which Bass's brother lay, with support of the railings enclosing the pool of metals which was shaped like a human, it was able to stand unstably and peer over the contents.

Bass heard a muffled whine from Treble which informed him that his pet was feeling rather uneasy about having a stranger in their rundown castle. So, he sluggishly pushed himself away from the balcony and started for the purple creature. He then crouched next to it and stared with awe at the half completed brother of his.

"...wow...all that from just a scratch, how did you manage to accomplish that much within 5 hours?"

Dr. Wily rolled up his sleeves and cackled, "That's because I got to repair a certain black bat every time he gets fortunately, only detached limbs...and I am competent unlike you!"

However, Bass was too engrossed in the structure sleeping in front of him to snap back. And after studying it, he was as utterly disgusted as Treble was.

"Whatever, madman. Hey, I thought you said that I was going to get a baby brother? But this! This robot is about the same size as I am, probably even older! And I ain't gonna have any tea party with this...this...sister!" He backed off the table upon realization.

That set the aged chimp on fire, "Bass! How dare you insult my work and your brother? For your information, I got tired of the bald, Light robot masters and so I decided to stick that endless flow of fire-resistant polymer hair!" A speck of tear fizzled in his eyes as he thought, 'such beautiful hair...' and he placed his greased hand on his silky scalp.

"...you, are,... such a CHEAP-SKATE! That's Centaurman's tail! Awrgh! Have some respect for the dead, man!" Bass choked as he tried to suppress the unknown liquid which was burgeoning in his stomach as if he saw another cockroach.

Dr. Wily shook his head and sent a few dandruffs floating into the air before he straightened himself to explain to Bass in a formal tone for a change. "Prepare to welcome your baby..."

Bass cleared his throat intentionally.

"Alright! Your twin brother by tomorrow, Bass!"

Treble grinned wolfishly back at Bass and they decided to leave their creator alone to speed up the construction of the stranger who would soon aid them in the destruction of their one true enemy, Rock Light.
