Hi everyone. This is the bro. of Banbie Bunny. I'm sorry I couldn't respond to my reviews, I've been so busy lately I haven't had time. Here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy it. And here are the replies. I'll keep in touch with any other reviews!
Fire Dragons: That was so good! Hurry and update! I want to see them together! ;)
Me: I'm assuming you want to see Bass and Roll together. Well wouldn't you suppose that after all Roll has gone through they wouldn't?
Sheng.Long 2005: Just like Bass is not a fish (OLD joke), Roll is not a car... But I liked how Bass finally has got Roll out of her discharge/funk.
Well, 'Kind Of Like' is a good start, Bass, but you'd better be willing to go for more after that celebratory duel, which I hope will happen.
Good job with actually researching Ciel's boyfriend, for both this and the 'I am Zero' one-shot, and I hope the next part is not long in coming.
Me: Bass not a fish. Chuckles... Hm, kind of like not good enough for ya? Well then... I think maybe he'll be slightly more passionate than "I kind of like" in the end. I'm glad you like that "I Am Zero" one shot. It very possibly wil grow into a large story so keep your eyes open!
darth: COOL ITS BASS HES BACK IT BE NICE TO SEE A GOOD ZERO SOMEWHERE IN THIS STORY
Me: Keep reading!
Sheng.Long 2005: Let the good times roll...
WELCOME BACK, BASS!
Happy days are here again...
Zero, You are about to learn that killing your only backup is a BAD IDEA.
A GOOD IDEA is to be BEHIND Bass and his allies.
Methinks Zero is going to need a lot of repairs after this fight...
Me: Very impressive words. But pray that you die easily when Zero hears about this. Wa ha ha ha!
darth: it would be nice to see zero turn sides in this very fic
Me: I guess you'll just have to wait and see won't you?
Sheng.Long 2005: Well, You've done it again. A wonderful piece of Classic meets Zero quality storywriting.
Well, I hope you don't have a 'Rebuild Bass just so that there can be a proper end to ALL the cast, not just a pitiful end for Bass...'
Remember the Epitaph from when I thought Bass's Reality was just a one-off...
It still stands true.
Me: I am so glad that you think the sequel is good. I was so afraid that the sequel would flunk like they usually do. I really appreciate your compliments. :-)
Sheng.Long 2005: Sorry about not reviewing sooner, but my computer failed recently.
Anyway, Great chapter again. All I worry about is whether it was wise for him to let Plantman be.
Anyway, Great to see you're halfway to Bass's completion... Don't hurry on my count.
I hope to see another part soon, Bro of Banbie.
Me: Don't worry, letting Plantman live wasn't a mistake. I mean, what could a giant mutated bush do to Megaman anyway?
Maurice A. Nigma: Hey, I just finished reading the second story. I'm a bit surprised to see that Bass was wiped out at the beginning of this story. I sort of feel Roll for when she learned that the Black Shadow fell to pieces(literally). I just hope that MegaMan is able to find those pieces before either Zero or Dr. Wily find them and destroy them. I guess that I wasn't the only one who played MegaMan X 4 in order to find out Zero's past. I hope that you finish this story soon. Later!
Maurice A. Nigma
P.S.
I only got the idea for nigma because a friend of my suggested it because of a riddle that I gave her. Later!
Me: If you have been reading without reviewing (without me knowing at least) I think that you'l find your wish is granted about the pieces being found. And as a matter of fact I never got the chance to play Megaman X4. I wish I could though. See ya later Sigma- I mean Nigma!
Robotboy576: Sorry for not reviewin lil' bro, but, like, I've been totally swamped with "HELP, COME SAVE ME" calls the last while. Zero's out ona break, but I told him 'bout this lil'fic and he says he'll read it. Anyhow, keep boppin! Kudos for better than the first sequels:)
Me: This is great. I'm glad you think this is better than the first. I thought it would turn out worse than the first. I guess I was wrong.
Oh by the way, recommend Zero to me would you? I've been waiting for two years to join the Maverick Hunters. I need some action.
darth: i wonder when x comes around
Me: That might happen and it might not. No definites, this is about Zero, not Megaman X.
Sheng.Long 2005: So, now we return to the two corners...
Notice that there is a absence of a certain blond mourner in one of the corners...
Are you worried that I'm trying to turn her into a combatant? (Looks at my avatars, who are all nodding vigorously)
Well, I may be, but only because there is only so many upgrades you can do before people, or cleaning robots, start asking questions...
Me: I was worried at first. She was a fighter in the first, but I decided to just let that first time to occur for the story. I'm sure if I was doing nothing but housekeeping I would want a piece of the action too!
Sheng.Long 2005: Has Zero gone Maverick before they even know what the term means?
Will Bass be able to return to his girlfriend?
Will Roll manage to stay at the sidelines?
Bro of Banbie, I love this story, and hope that those questions and more are answered soon!
Me: Your questions have been answered Sheng.
Sheng.Long 2005: Ouch... Roll seems to be taking this badly.
Someone, please, give her something to think about...
(Gets handed a feminine set of armor suitable for Roll) Well, That's a idea... but I leave it up to you.
Me: If Roll didn't take it badly, who would? She loves him after all!
Sheng.Long 2005: Welcome back! So, Bass isn't quite dead yet...
I hope that we will see Bass reclaim his crown, and that him and Roll get together before the curtain closes on their time...
Me:I won't tell you any spoilers. But you might not like the end.
The Shadow's Light: COOL! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! .
Me: You love it? Aw shucks!
Dr. Light paced back and forth in front of the door nervously. "What am I going to do without Roll?" he thought. Megaman was twiddling his thumbs nervously. He chewed on his tongue a little bit. "All this hunting for Bass, just to lose Roll?" he thought. Protoman just stood leaning against the wall as usual. It was hard to see if he was worrying through his visor.
Suddenly, they heard a loud thundering roar! And then... nothing. Dr. Light ran into Roll's room to find her and Bass lying on the floor. Roll got up and shook Bass. Bass lifted his head slightly and muttered something he couldn't hear. He ran over to Roll and threw his arms around her "Roll!" he cried "I'm so glad you're O.K.!" Roll hugged him back "I'm sorry Daddy."
Then she pointed to Bass "Is that really Bass?" Dr. Light nodded "Yes it is. What's wrong with him?" he picked Bass up and checked him over "I think he'll be O.K. A wire seems damaged. Attached to his buster it looks like." He picked him up and took him to his lab. He quickly fixed the wire and re-energized him. Bass got up from the bench "Boy do I feel good." he stretched and cracked his knuckles. "Snip snap Aaaah... crunch crack ahem. Anyway. Thanks doc."
Megaman suddenly entered the lab "Dr. Light! Roll is fine! I've just seen her. What did you do?" Bass coughed and pointed a finger at his chest "ahem I am the one who did something. My energy did it." Megaman shook his head in disbelief "No way. If all she needed was an energy charge, why didn't Dr. Light do it?" Roll suddenly came into the room, helped by Protoman. She smiled sweetly at Bass "It was Bass. That's all."
She let go of Protoman, walked up to Bass and gave him a little kiss. "Thank you Bass." Bass coughed and looked away. Megaman had a slightly offended look on his face "Now just a minute," he said "I am the one who found all of your parts. Shouldn't I be the one getting the kudos here?" Roll smiled endearingly at Megaman "I know. Thanks Mega. I don't know how I would be right now if you hadn't found Bass."
Protoman just gagged and turned away "What is it with you two?" he grumbled "That will get you in trouble one of these days Bass. Just you wait." Roll stared up at Bass and just... stared. Smiling. Bass eventually smiled at her and gave her a hug. "Hey! I forgot to return something." He reached into a pocket and pulled out a green ribbon.
Roll gasped and her hands flew to her hair "Oh! You have it! I was wondering where it went." he gave her the ribbon. Roll tied her hair up. Bass chuckled "You look nice Roll." Roll gasped again and leaned on him dreamily "You think so? Oh Bass..." she cooed. Neither of them noticed that everyone else had left.
Outside the room, Megaman and Protoman and Dr. Light stood talking. Protoman was complaining. "Those two are just the most outrageous things I've ever seen." he started talking in a high-pitched sarcastic voice "Ooh, he had her hair ribbon in his pocket all along. Isn't it Romantic?" He put extra emphasis on the word romantic. Megaman swatted him on the back of the head "Aw be quiet will you?" he grumbled "There's nothing wrong with them."
Dr. Light interrupted. "Megaman, I think we should go now and try to retrieve that chip from Flash Man. I think Dr. Wily is losing no time in preparing Zero for another attack. Possibly on this base. I'll be going with you to amplify power on the chip. I'll carry as many tools as possible and Eddie will come along to supply others. Eddie!" Eddie teleported in. He walked over to Dr. Light and jumped up and down making little beeping noises. Dr. Light reached down and patted him on the head "Hello Eddie. I want you to come with me."
Eddie was a flip-top suitcase. He looked real cute, being nothing but a walking red container with two big eyes. He ran off to get the tools. Dr. Light turned to Protoman "Protoman, I want you to stay here with Roll. Bass will be coming with us so I want you to take care of Roll. She still needs time to recuperate." Protoman scoffed "Do you think that I'm going to stay here with sis, while you guys go on adventures. Why don't you have Bass take care of her? After all, two lovers shouldn't be far apart."
Dr. Light sighed in agitation. "Look Protoman. I don't want to be rude, but I need Bass more than anything to help Me and Megaman get Zero." Protoman just shrugged "So? I can get that Flash chip myself. It's not as if I can't do that." Megaman tapped him on the shoulder "He did create you Protoman. You should just do what he says." Protoman looked at him. Then he said "You're right Megaman. I'll obey him." Suddenly, he teleported out "When I feel like it that is."
Protoman arrived back at the base. He dove underwater and swam around, searching for the bodies of the 3 robot masters Gemini Man, Flash Man, and Crash Man. He found all three of them pretty close together. He went to Flash Man first and took his chip. He smiled "This'll be fun." he thought. He also salvaged the chips from Gemini Man and Crash Man. "Mind if I borrow these things?" he asked. "Thank you very much." he said without waiting for a reply.
He lept out of the water and loaded the new weapons into his own buster "Alright. Wait till the next battle with my little brother." He almost teleported out when Zero suddenly teleported in. Protoman instantly aimed his buster and charged it. Zero waved his hands in front of him "You don't need to worry. I'm not here to fight you." Zero dropped his buster, but had a strong grip on his shield.
"What do you want buddy?" asked Protoman. Zero just shrugged "Oh... just to say that I hope you know that you'll lose if you try to fight us again. It's really useless to resist you know." Protoman slightly smiled "You obviously don't know my little brother. He is the... second best fighter existing."
Zero crossed his arms smugly "I know. That's because I'm the best fighter there is. By the way, just a little warning. If you give up now, we'll permit you to live. But if you try to stop us, well if you ask me, we will pulverize you." Protoman smirked "Warning heard. We'll see about heeding. But as long as you are here I may as well remind you..." suddenly, Protoman disappeared and in literally no time at all, was behind Zero and whispering in his ear "Nobody asked."
Roll was sitting on a chair while Dr. Light operated on Roll. Fixing different things that got messed up. Megaman was handing him different tools. Dr. Light opened an arm panel "An interface has some fried transistors from the energy surge. Don't bite your tongue, this will hurt." he took out a small welding tool and shot it into Roll's arm. Roll clenched her teeth "Grrrr..." she winced. Bass stood behind her and gave her a shoulder rub.
Dr. Light suddenly caught something that shot out of Roll's arm. "Got it." he said. Roll sighed. "I'm glad that's over. Protoman teleported in. He held up the three chips "Three for the price of one." he said. Dr. Light took the flash chip begrudgingly "I can't exactly say thank you. Don't disobey me next time Protoman." Protoman just shrugged "Whatever."
Dr. Light took the chip to a.. toaster? Actually, it was a power amplifier. The chip grew red hot. Dr. Light then laid it on a retainer to cool. "That should keep it from disintegrating from the added power. Now, I want you all to give me the other chips you've gathered." Protoman gave him the other chips and Megaman gave him the others. Dr. Light quickly duplicated them and gave one to each of them. "You'll need all of the power you can get to fight against Zero, though the Flash Chip should take care of everything."
Dr. Light punched some numbers into a computer and a map appeared around a power plant "I sent one of our robots to spy on Wily. Apparently Wily intends to take control of his power plant. Supposedly, Zero can store as much energy inside him as he can get. If he gets a lot of energy, I'm afraid that nothing can stop him." He turned to Megaman "Megaman, I want you and Bass and Protoman to go to that power plant and get him under control. I'll come with you to control Zero. Thankfully it's Friday so nobody should be about till 12:00 at noon on Monday."
"Wait a minute," interrupted Protoman. "Who's gonna take care of our robo sis here?" Dr. Light scoffed "I thought you didn't want to miss anything?" Roll shrugged and stood up "I'm going to be fine, yow!" a spark emitted from her leg. She lifted herself up "Now that you mention it, I would feel better if Protoman stayed with me." Bass stepped up "I'll do it!" he volunteered. Protoman shook his head "Oh noooo." he said with a smile "I'll take care of her. You go and... make your girlfriend proud!"
"Don't be a wimp Protoman." said Bass. Protoman stepped up and poked him in the chest "I am no coward Bass. If you remember, I have fought Zero twice, and you only one. And you lost." Bass stepped back. His normal proud look seemed reduced to hurt. He lowered his head looking dismal. Roll managed to shove Protoman in the arm "Don't say that Protoman, it's not kind." Then turning to Bass she smiled and said "Go on Bass. You probably are more useful to them." Bass sighed "O.K. I'll make sure to come back in one piece." he walked over and gave her a hug. Roll smiled "I'll try not to worry too much." she said. Megaman tapped Bass on the shoulder "Come on. We have to go."
Megaman and Bass and Rush and Dr. Light all teleported out.
