Sorry for the wait, I have a lot of school work to do and I was focusing more on Shamans in the Pirate Era. Now here's the next chapter!
Chapter 37: Storming in the Skull Castle! Everyone is Separated!
"Look's like we're not together," says Fox.
"I hope they're all right," says Samus. "And let's pray that Luigi isn't all alone."
"Oh my brotha… Pleez be all right-a…" says Mario.
-
Yoshi, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff are walking in the castle. A low grumbling sound is heard. "Be careful! Enemy must be near!" says Pikachu.
Another growling is heard.
"What is that?" asks Jigglypuff.
"That's…" Yoshi begins to speak, but is interrupted by Pikachu.
"Sounds like a fierce one… Perhaps a Darkling?"
"Oh no! I hate Darkling! But I have Holy Weapon, so I no fear!" says Jigglypuff, waving her Magic Wand in the air.
That grumbling is heard again.
"Watch out! It's getting louder!" warns Pikachu.
"That's my stomach growling!" Yoshi shouts out.
"Oh…"
"I'm hungry… I doubt there's any food in a robot-infested place like this…" But then, Yoshi starts to act strangely. "Food…" He starts walking towards a direction, his eyes staring into the distance.
"What is wrong with him?" asks Jigglypuff.
"How do I know? We'll just follow," suggests Pikachu. They both follow Yoshi until they meet a Metool, those short robots with a yellow hardhat, carrying a tray on its head. Yoshi uses his tail to whack the Metool away, takes the tray, opens the lid and reveals some sushi and fruits under it!
"FOOOOD!" shouts the green dinosaur with joy.
"So that is what Yoshi's been following…" says Pikachu.
"But why there is human food here?"
"That means there's human living here too!"
And if you have some knowledge about Megaman, you'll now that Dr. Wily is human.
-
Falco is walking alone. "Tsk! Those people are pathetic! How in the world can they get separated from me? I better find them before they get into trouble. After all, they need my help in order to get through everything."
He walks through the empty hallway, humming the main theme of Starfox 64. Unknown to him, a white, skinny robot is watching him from an alcove above. When Falco turned his back towards the robot, it jumps down from its hiding place and pulls out a dagger to stab him! Falco immediately turns around and kicks the robot hard in the face just as it is about to land the dagger into him. The robot flies to the wall behind and malfunctions. "Nothings been happening so far," says Falco sarcastically as he walks away.
-
Megaman and Rush are sneaking pass the robotic guards, trying to avoid unnecessary fights. He soon came to the end of a hallway and sees a large one-legged robot guarding a door. If you want to know, the robot has only one eye too.
"I'll have to get pass that gatekeeper and enter the door behind him," Megaman says to himself.
His right arm turns into an arm cannon and he starts glowing in blue, charging up his Mega Buster. When fully charged, it jumps in front of the gatekeeper and releases the fully charged plasma shot into its single eye. The shot pierces through the eye and destroys its 'brain', and the gatekeeper explodes.
"I didn't know my Mega Buster is this powerful!" says Megaman. Before he left for this amusement park, Dr. Light upgraded his Mega Buster to an even stronger level.
He and Rush stood in front of the door and it opens, revealing another hallway behind it, and then another door at the end of the new hallway. He runs to that door and it opens. He steps inside and sees a large garden before him. Megaman checks a flower and sees that it is a real flower instead of an artificial one. "I didn't know Dr. Wily is so interested in nature that he planted this garden."
"Actually, this garden is planted especially for me," says a voice from nowhere.
Megaman looks around. "Who is speaking? Show yourself!" He then sees a vine shooting straight for him, and he quickly hops back just as the vine strikes onto the ground he was standing on.
Plantman jumps down from a large tree and pulls the vine back to himself. "It's been a long time, Megaman."
"You're Plantman!"
"It's good of you to remember me. I have now come back to life, like a flower waking up from winter to welcome the spring."
"What do you want!"
"Dr. Wily said you freed the Smashers from their prison, and he isn't happy."
"I had to do what I had to do."
"Of course, saving people is your job, but you should consider what kind of people to save. Dr. Wily is working for someone that will bring eternal excitement to this world, and those people will stop him."
"You call changing the world into a dark and evil world something good? Stop kidding me!"
"So you know about the Darkling. It's useless trying to convince you how grand our project is. Now that you're here, you shall face the Trial of Flower!" Plantman strikes with his vine whip again, and Megaman quickly jumps aside and into the bushes. "It's useless hiding among the leaves, for they tell me where you hide."
Megaman makes his way behind Plantman and jumps out from the bushes. He fires a charged shot at Plantman, but evil robot raises his hands and shouts, "Plant Barrier!" Several flower petals appear around him and block the shot!
"What!" gasps Megaman.
"My Plant Barrier cannot be penetrated. It blocks all kind of attacks. Surely you know this from our first meeting."
"Darn, I forgot about that…"
"Now the game is over, face your death in this trial! Flower Bomb!" Plantman throws several flower-shaped bombs at Megaman. Megaman quickly jumps out of the way just before the bombs explode on him.
Megaman sees Rush, who is in his jet form, flying in the sky, so he quickly jumps onto the robotic dog and flies into the sky.
Plantman looks up and says, "Do you think you can get away to safety by heading for the sky?" A metallic platform in the form of a flower appears and Plantman hops onto it, and flies towards Megaman.
As the two fight in the air, trading shots with each other, Rush brings Megaman near Plantman, and the blue robot hops off Rush and tackles Plantman off the flying platform, but Megaman holds onto him as they both fall towards the ground.
"What on earth are you planning to do! Dropping us both together!" Plantman asks him.
Megaman places his arm cannon on Plantman's chest and says, "This is what I'm going to do! Eat my upgraded supercharged plasma Mega Buster!"
Plantman's eyes widen in fear. The shot comes out and bursts through Plantman's body. "AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGH!" Plantman shoots towards the earth like a meteor and explodes into pieces upon impacting the ground.
Rush quickly flies underneath Megaman and catches him before he drops to the ground. "Phew… Made it…" Megaman says to himself.
Megaman and Rush land onto the ground and Megaman looks at the remains of Plantman. "You know? If you truly adore this wonderful nature, then you should think twice before working for Dr. Wily," he says. "The world that Dr. Wily wants probably isn't the kind you want." And then he walks away with Rush, heading out the room.
-
Luigi is walking alone through the castle, shouting his friends name all along. "Mario! Falco! Fox! Samus! Pikachu! Yoshi! Jigglypuff! Young Link! Luigi! Wait, why did I call my own name…?"
He finds himself in a large room with soft breeze blowing into his face, and before him stood gigantic propellers. "Whoa! What is this room? It's so windy and cool around here."
He continues to wander around this room. "Hmm… Nobody around here… That's good, because I don't want to run into any more dangers."
Suddenly, 2 Soldier Darkling appear before him. "Uh oh! Looks like I'm being attacked!" he says to himself. "But they're weak fellows, so I should be able to handle them without any problem." Luigi pulls out his Thunder Rod and swings it at the Darkling, killing them both in a single blow. "Yeah! I'm the best!"
"Indeed, you are strong enough to take out the two Soldier Darkling," says a voice. "But they are the weakest of the weakest, what's so special about that?"
Luigi slowly turns around to the source of the voice, and he sees Windman sitting on top of a tall pillar. "Uh? Who are you?"
"I am Windman, one of Lord Wily's creation and master of the Trial of Wind."
"Trial of Wind!" Luigi thought to himself. "Looks like I came to a place I shouldn't be coming…"
"You and your friends defeated Blizzardman, right? You people are indeed outstanding for a flesh being. If you can defeat Blizzardman, then can you take on me?" Windman jumps down from the pillar and lands in front of Luigi.
Luigi gulps and moves back a little.
"You have entered the Trial of Wind, and you cannot turn back," says Windman. "You have no choice but to fight me."
Luigi starts to sweat and tremble in fear.
"There are only two outcomes in this trial, one is either you win or…" Windman opens his eyes wide and glares at Luigi. "Or you DIE!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screams Luigi.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Okay, Luigi is going to shine in the next chapter! I bet you're excited to see it, right? Have fun waiting and be sure to review! Try to make you reviews more descriptive and in-depth, for it will inspire me more!
And yes, I gave Plantman more attacks than what he had in Megaman 6. All he knew was Plant Barrier, and it's a really lame attack that's very easy to avoid. If he only uses that in this story, then the fight wouldn't be as interesting; but then, that fight was really short and not descriptive anyway.
