After a most unusual experience on a patch of non-reality, being informed that they were the only hope of all that live, being given powers beyond their wildest dreams, then being literally blasted to who-knows-where in a video game machine and finding out each others true feelings for the other, Roll and Mega were both a little more than exhausted, confused, befuddled, fearful and worn down then if they had been run down by a steam roller. (If my English teacher saw that run-on and on and on sentence, she'd have had a seizure)
The Virtual Reality Pyramid touched down on the soft grass. It had seemed to simply appear, as if it had been hiding all along, or you had missed it the first time you looked. Out of it came two, rather bedraggled looking 14-year-olds in full body armor, on blue with a green buster and the other pink with a pink buster ending in a blood red hole.
Mega looked at his surroundings: it was an idyllic valley, beautiful apple trees in bloom, violently happy wild flowers, a smiling sun shining on rolling green hills. It looked like heaven itself. Mega looked around, so did Roll. They looked at each other and collapsed to their knees, moaning. Their two arm bands beeped to life Caution, body damage at 34 Ocular senses at 50 Scarring from quasi-neutrino ions on the following areas: torso, head, legs, arms. Damage to following organs: liver, spleen, skin, lungs, heart, kidneys, stomach, and esophagus, at more than dangerous level. Body requires outside help for full recovery. SOS being sent out on all frequencies. Initiating search for human, pseudo-human, animal and robot life signs... none found. Caution, coma state imminent if aid not found. Life signs at critical Mega and Roll looked around desperately with the last of their strength, they couldn't see anyone. The very last thought Mega had before his and Rolls world descended into black was Wow, my quest is over before it begins. I guess that Dr. Light miscalculated with my Virtual Reality Pyramid. Well at least I had a first kiss, even if it was to shut me up...
A flash of bright light beamed down from the sky, materializing into a small red trashcan with eyes. It looked at the thing that was giving him and every other robot an awful headache. They looked human, but the only things he had ever seen in full body armor were robots. Either way they were badly injured, maybe fixing them would cure his headache. Thankfully he had a linear mind, not having any real use for advanced A.I. other then being naïve at people. He gathered them in his holding chamber (which has room for anything) and teleported home. He reappeared outside a large compound surrounded by a 10-foot solid titanium fence with Insta-blast Mk VII security cameras monitoring 24/7.It was easily 17 stories and seemed to cut into the sky with its sharp peak and futuristic design. It was also situated in an idyllic valley, although a road passed right in front of the compound and you could see the bright lights of a city in the far off distance. It was night, but you could still see the shining gold plaque on a large titanium garage door at the front of the compound. It read 'Dr. Light Labs: Robotics and Artificial Intelligence a specialty.' At the bottom you could see a more recent addition, saying 'No fan mail please'. The little red trashcan on legs walked up to a patch of wall no different than any other. A small blue crystal on its forehead shone at the wall. A computerized voice replied, saying Robot identification found. Classification: Search and aid robot, item bearing capabilities. Name: Eddie. Code: 635 ε β π 4329zq0. Door opening... A small Eddie sized door opened up, bearing the name 'Light Labs Cat flap'. Eddie walked through and found himself at the visitor lobby. It was a presentation hall sized room, with a large plasma screen at the front and various couches, sofas and armchairs facing it. Eddie walked past to a spiral staircase made of syntha-wood. Intsead of getting on to the stairs, he walked to the central pillar, which opened up revealing an elevator for easy access to higher floors. Eddie beeped into a small panel inside and let the elevator lift him to the 9th floor. He got off and walked down a narrow metal corridor, filled with pictures of a small girl and boy playing with a happy red dog. Some had a happy, tubby white bearded man smiling at them. Eddie walked through and stopped at a door. On it was a picture of two old men, both smiling and laughing whilst holding up a golden trophy in the shape of a standard android, the caption underneath it read: 20XX Award for Advanced Robotics being given to Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily for their project on helpful robots. Overtop of the caption, a black spindly signature had been added, as well as the words: Hey Tom, this was one of the best moments of my life. Together lets build a better tomorrow, Albert Wily. Eddie paused and wondered why this picture was still here. The once inseparable team were now bitter enemies, but did the good doctor still want to be friends? Eddie thought about it with a while, then forgot about and beeped at the door so it would open.
Out stepped a large and portly man dressed in an ivory whit lab coat and palm tree tie (gotten for him on his birthday by his eldest) and white beard that seemed to cover his face. He bent down and looked at one of his favourite creations.
"What is it Eddie?" asked the jolly fat man.
"Beep, beep ding!!!" replied Eddie.
"What, you retrieved what was causing that disturbance?"
"Ding beep beeeeeep!"
"And it's human?"
"Beep. Beep ping dong beep!"
"They're hurt? My goodness, put them on the lab table and go get Roll immediately!"
Eddie dumped the two unconscious bodies on the flat metal lab table and ran off to another room. The man bent down and examined the two people with a device that looked like an inside out toaster with a coat hanger stuck on to it. The man scanned the body of the girl first and quietly swore, she was hanging onto life by a thread. He scanned the boy. He faired no better. The doctor then examined their armor, silently examining each intricate piece, obviously custom made. He was about to start removing their helmets when a girl rushed into the room carrying a medical table laden with supplies.
"Dr. Light! I came as soon as I could!" she panted.
"Hello Roll. This is what has been causing the communications disruptions all over the world, thank goodness I found a way to shut down yours and Rock's Comm Links, otherwise you'd still be having that awful headache. I was looking at them with the ionoscope and discovered they are both suffering from severe lacerations to all their body. The interesting part is that they are on all the epithelial tissue covering the organ, they are all smaller than a human hair but there are so many of them I don't know what happened. Look at this." He motioned to a screen showing a microscopic view of the skin on the bridge of the boys nose. It showed the plate like dead skin cells and pores, but every single one had little tiny gashes on them. As if someone had been shooting very small knives at each cell.
"The amazing part is that the scarring is consistent throughout the body, the surface of each organ is like that, but without any larger cuts to the skin."
"How did they cut the inside so badly without totally destroying the outside? Not even a virus could do that type of damage."
"I'm afraid my dear Roll that all we can do is connect them to an IV and hope for the best. Until they are conscious I can't ask them anything. Luckily the other injuries they sustained I can help, like the cataracts on their eyes and the nervous tissue cuts. Pass me that scalpel..." And so with that the team got to work. While Dr. Light was trying to remove the torso armor, the boy's armband beeped to life.
"Hey, somebody found them! Wake up Spin" said HelpMan
The girl's beeped on too. "Hey, one of the Creators. He'll help Mega and Roll!"
Dr. Light stared incredulously at the two screens. "What are you and why can't I get this darned armor off?" he demanded
"Hey bub, that armor is the only thing keeping these two alive. We're their Artificial Neural Investigative Machines for Analyzing and Locating, ANIMALs for short. You can't remove it because your pathetic little species hasn't discovered the technology behind it yet. Anyways, I'm HelpMan and she's Spin"
"Hello" said Spin.
"We need your help to save Mega and Roll-"
Dr. Light interrupted "Megaman and Roll are in danger?"
"Ahem, Mega is the boy I'm currently strapped to, Roll is the girl in pink Spin is strapped to. So that we don't get confused you can call her Ms. Maylu. We are here because this world is in danger-"
"This world? Are you from another planet? Do you know Duo? Why are we in danger? What can I do, Megaman-"
"Megaman? You created him right? Can you tell him to come here now? What about
Ba-"said Spin
"Answer my questions first!"
"You answer my questions first"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"SHUT UP!!!" screamed Mega. "Oh my head..."
Roll looked at the screen showing the bridge of his nose. The cuts had almost totally disappeared. The cataracts were gone, his nerves were fixed and he looked as refreshed as ever, if not a little angry. Ms. Maylu (can anyone think of a better way of saying her name? I hate Ms. Maylu, it sounds horrible) looked just as refreshed.
"Ha Ha! They're fine! All we needed was an outside power source, human or animal, for a little bit of life energy recharge. Now, if you'll be so kind as to put away that overly large knife we can talk. But you need to call Megaman for this" said Spin.
A blue robot walked in and stared at the assembly before him.
"What? I heard my name from my room so I came, who are they?"
Mega looked at his counterpart. "It's a long story, you'd better get comfortable..."
