Back at Dr. Light's base, Megaman and Roll were washing the dishes and doing basic clean-up around the house. Megaman had to do very little or nothing since Bass had taken care of Dr. Wily's new robot masters. "I'm glad you could take some time off Megaman." said Roll "I could use the help around the house!" Megaman rinsed off a plate "Well, I haven't had anything to do or fight lately. So, while I'm waiting for something to happen, I may as well get the place clean."

Megaman was a blue fighting robot with armor on his head feat and hands. He was a house keeping robot before until he requested Dr. Light to make him a fighting robot. He had special boots that made him jump higher than usual, a mega buster on his left arm which could interchange from a hand to a buster. his elbows had air jets on them that could propel him along the ground so he could slide.

Roll was a very pretty robot that looked a little more like a human than Megaman. She had golden hair with a green ribbon in it. She had black eyes and she wore a brick red dress with a black shirt and red boots. All in all, anyone would suppose her a human more often than a robot.

Dr. Light entered the kitchen. He laughed "It's been a while since I've seen you washing dishes Megaman!" Megaman said "Since I haven't had to save the world from anybody lately, I've just been doing what I used to do. It's a nice change from risking my life everyday of the year."

"When you're done, come into my lab Megaman, I've got a new enhancement for Rush and Roll." said Dr. Light and left. Roll was excited "Alright! I love getting new enhancements!" They finished the dishes in record time and rushed into the lab.

Dr. Light pointed to a capsule "Roll get in there please. Megaman call Rush." Megaman sent a signal and Rush entered the room "Ruff ruff!" he barked Dr. Light took him by the collar and put him into another smaller capsule. Roll got in her capsule and their glass doors shut. "Now prepare for upgrade!" said Dr. Light and put on some dark glasses. He pushed a few buttons on an interface. The lights turned out and Roll and Rush automatically turned off while several large welding arms started zapping them. For 2 hours the machine worked on them, mostly on Roll's left arm and Rush's head. Megaman and Dr. Light stood by and watched.

Megaman asked "Doctor, will I get a new enhancement?"

"Rush's enhancement will add something of an enhancement for you. But I might have an upgrade for you soon." Finally the machines finished their work and withdrew into their stations. The glass doors opened and Roll and Rush stepped out "Are we done?" asked Roll "Yes. you'll enjoy your new enhancements. Roll, I've given you a Solar buster. It's not too powerful, but it's enough to provide you with a means of defense." "Thanks Doctor!" said Roll switching her hand to a buster "This is very cool!" she exclaimed.

"And for you Rush," said Dr. Light "Your bark is now worse than your bite!" Rush sat down and scratched his head looking confused. "I've given you the- Rush Buster! You can now fire shots out of your mouth! And if you combine with Megaman, he will be able to fire two shots at the same time!" Rush jumped about and barked "Arf! Arf!" He then got down growled and fired a shot out of his mouth. Dr. Light jumped as the shot surged underneath him.

"Careful!" he yelled. "That's for attacking bad guys, not me!" Rush merely whined and backed behind Megaman. "Why did you give Roll a buster?" asked Megaman "Are you expecting an attack?" Dr. Light nodded "Yes." his features darkened "I believe he has a rather cunning attack plan." He lead them into his study and had them all sit down on chairs in front of his desk. Rush just lay down under Megaman's chair, yawned and stretched. He was asleep in seconds. Dr. Light sat down on his chair and told them about his suspicions.

"I sent a spy unit to Dr. Wily's lab. From the information I got back, I think Dr. Wily is going to attack soon. But he's not just gong to send over some hard hats and sniper joes. He's sending over Bass to lead them!" Megaman sat up straight at the very mention of his name. "He's sending Bass to lead them? How can we fight them all off?" "That's where Rush and Roll come in" said Dr. Light "I don't think you can fight a whole army of Wily bots and Bass at the same time. If worse comes to worse, Roll will have to come out and help you."

Roll looked a bit nervous "Me, fight? I barely have any experience." "I'll teach you!" said Megaman jumping to his feet "I have plenty of experience, when do you think Dr. Wily will attack doctor?" Doctor Light gave a half-hearted laugh. "In two hours." Megaman sagged in annoyance "TWO HOURS?!? that's barely enough time to get used to a weapon!" he said incredulously.

Dr. Light nodded "I know, If I had known I would have given Roll a buster much earlier." Dr. Light stood up "Megaman, take Rush and see how much you can teach Roll" he directed "I have to activate all the defense systems for the base."

Everyone went to their assigned tasks. "Two hours" thought Megaman "What is going to happen?"
