I own NOTHING! Well, except for Issen. He's cool, and better yet, he's mine. Capcom owns MegaMan, ProtoMan, Bass and Roll, along with every other character in the MegaMan series. I'm not sure if SnowMan was ever in the games however. Oh yeah, and screw the people who changed it so my little hyphen deviders no longer show up. The borders will now be represented by I's.

AN about the stripes on Issen's face- they change color depending on the closest nearby 'element'. The stripes show the element of his attacks. Example: if Issen had used a charged buster shot when he had blue stripes, it would have been an Ice type buster. He doesn't know about this feature though, mainly because it wasn't originally in his systems...

IIIIIIIIIIII

SnowMan had seen the fires from miles away. Dr. Cossack had alerted him to the presence of the American robots in the vicinity of the town, but he had no idea that they would attack it. Knowing that he wouldn't arrive in time to put out the fires, the Yeti robot bounded through the forests to save whoever he could. By the time he arrived at the town, SnowMan found that only one of the four houses set ablaze was still standing.

'Oh crap, it's going to cave in soon!'

He dashed in through the back door and made his way to the master bedroom. Its sleeping occupants hadn't even awakened from their slumber, and were starting to suffocate from the smoke. Knowing he had precious little time, he grabbed both of them and leapt out the closest window. The adults he held in his arms were both awake by now, and began screaming like scared children.

"It's okay! I'm here to save you." SnowMan set them down gently in the snow, trying to calm them down. "Are you two okay?"

The father was the first to speak. "We're fine, but where's out daughter?"

"Your daughter!?" SnowMan quickly turned around to re-enter the house, but it collapsed just as he did. Hate and rage toward the people who did this welled up within him, but before he could attack his enemies something stirred inside the collapsed building. "What?!"

As he looked into the collapsed house, several chunks of wood were tossed aside as a black robot stood in the flames. It suddenly 'grew' silver armor and blades, along with a helmet.

The woman SnowMan had saved screamed in fear, while her husband looked on in amazement. SnowMan stood in disbelief as Issen walked out of the blazing mess, girl in arms. He set her down at her mother's side before turning to SnowMan and the Sniper Joes behind him.

"I take it your not with them?" SnowMan raised an eyebrow as Issen's cheek marks changed from Ice blue to fire red.

"No. They came here after me, so stay out of this."

The Sasquatch (is that how you spell it? I'm not sure, but oh well) like robot gave Issen a hard glance. "Look, I don't care if they came here after you. They tried to harm the Russian people, and I won't let that go." He tried to walk away from Issen, but he caught him by the shoulder.

"I'll handle this. You're not strong enough. Besides, if we fight now, your people are going to be in the line of fire. I'll fight while you move them." SnowMan nodded to Issen and quickly helped the mother to her feet and grabbed their still unconscious daughter from the ground. As he and the humans ran, several explosions rang out from behind them.

IIIIIIIIIIII

Issen slid into a fighting stance, putting one foot behind the other while crouching. His blades remained behind his arms however. 'Objective one complete, commencing second objective. Enemy count: 15 SJ's. One RA is approaching from the north. ETA 4.39 minutes. Mission start.'

Issen charged his busters and activated his Boost. The Sniper Joes detected his increased energy and began firing upon him, but Issen leapt over the first volley of fire and dashed to the nearest Sniper Joe. It tried to raise its shield, but he ripped it away and grabbed the green robot by the head. After sucking its energy dry, the silver clad robot swung the body into another Sniper, destroying both at the same time. His other enemies had used their brother's demise to surround Issen. After analyzing the situations for a second, his blades swung into position as he began hacking the closest Snipers to pieces. As he continued to attack the enemies, his blades caught on fire, adding to the damage he was causing. One by one, the automated robots fell to either Issen's blades or busters. Before long, only one robot was standing amidst the carnage...

SnowMan, after evacuating the Russian family, looked on in awe as Issen single-handedly destroyed the entire group. As he finished the deed, Issen turned to face the Russian robot. "...Who the heck are you?!"

Issen looked SnowMan over before speaking. "My name is Issen. There's a Ride Armor closing on our position. I suggest that you evacuate the remaining civilians from this town. I'll take out the Ride Armor." With that, Issen began walking north. Before he got far however, he turned and spoke once more.

"Hey you."

"I have a name you know. I'm SnowMan, Dr. Cossack's latest creation."

'Cossack? His name was on the note. I'll speak with this SnowMan later.' Issen turned around. "Tell the girl I saved that I'll need the poncho back once I return."

IIIIIIIIIIII

Sergeant Kenny V. Wilson had a debt to repay. After being humiliated by ProtoMan, he felt it necessary to hunt down and destroy both Issen and ProtoMan.

"Wilson, you'd better bring that RA back in one piece."

"Yes sir, Major. Thanks again for letting me requisition the plasma cannon as well."

"Just get your job done."

"Yes sir!" Wilson cut the communication link just as something appeared on his radar. "Looks like he's coming out to meet me head on. I don't want to disappoint him, now do I?" He smirked as he activated the Ride Armor's jump function.

Issen stopped in an open field. Something was wrong. He couldn't detect the Ride Armor with his sonar anymore. Switching to his thermal vision, he saw the Ride Armor just in time to jump out of its way. The mecha's feet slammed down into the soft snow, sending a small shockwave of snow from the point of impact. Issen landed more gracefully on a nearby rock. Something about this Ride Armor looked familiar...

"Still fast as ever Issen. I'm going to put a stop to that!"

Issen took a look at the Ride Armor's pilot and recognized him. "You again? I thought they'd have given you a court marshal for losing me."

"In your dreams! I'm an ace pilot you walking trashcan!"

"Walking... Trashcan?! Who the heck are you calling a walking trashcan!?!"

"You of course! Let's get this started!!" Wilson pulled the trigger for his shoulder mounted plasma cannon, sending a huge blast of energy at Issen.

Issen's blades were instantly in a blocking position. The white-green energy slammed into his blades, knocking him back a few inches. For a moment it seemed as if his blades would give under the pressure, but the energy was quietly absorbed before such an event could occur.

NEW WEAPON ACQUIRED. PLASMA SHOT EQUIPPED. ENERGY ALLOWS FOR 3 SHOTS.

A shocked scream from Wilson caused him to smirk. "It seems you didn't read over my abilities." Slowly, Issen's silver armor changed to a nuclear green. He raised his hand as his blades retracted. With a shout, he prepared to return the powerful blast to its owner. "Plasma Shot!"

The energy ripped away from Issen's hand and impacted the Ride Armor in the chest, creating a massive dent in its chest plating. He fired a second shot, but it missed as Wilson strafed out of harms way. Issen re-equipped his blades and lunged at the Ride Armor. Wilson tried to catch Issen with the mechas massive fist, but he used the RA's arm as a foot hold to reach the shoulder joint. The sound of metal being melted filled the air as Issen took most of the Ride Armor's shoulder off with his blade. Landing behind the Armor, Issen turned to face his opponent once more.

"You! I'll have your processor for that!!"

"Catch me first." Issen dashed at him again, but was greeted by an EMP net instead of a fist. The energy coursed through his system, shutting almost all of it down. "What?!"

"How do you like that?!" Wilson grinned as he grasped Issen in the Ride Armor's remaining hand. The massively powerful hand started squeezing Issen, threatening to crush him. Before it could however, Issen managed to wrap his hand around one of its fingers. As Wilson continued to try and crush Issen, the entire Armor was running out of power. When the hand stopped crushing him, Wilson knew what was happening. "Hey! No fair!"

'Second objective completed.' Issen, now fully powered, shoved the hand apart and climbed up to the cockpit. "I believe you called me a walking trashcan earlier." Before Wilson could make any excuses, Issen's hand was around his neck. "Goodnight."

IIIIIIIIIIII

SnowMan had evacuated most of the town at this point, and was preparing to leave himself when Issen re-appeared.

"Where's my poncho?"

"It's right over there, Mr. Happy." SnowMan thumbed in the direction of a store. The brown cloth was billowing in the breeze, hanging just above the front door. "The girl said thank you."

"I fulfilled my objective. Nothing more." Issen walked over to his poncho, retracting his armor and blades before putting it on. "Oh, and tell Dr. Cossack I said 'thanks'. Also, take care of the mess I left in the Ride Armor. He won't wake up for a while, so take him with you."

"Sure thing Issen. Where are you going?"

"I don't know. Goodbye SnowMan. If I ever see you again, maybe we can have a sparring match or something." Issen began walking out of the village, headed south this time.

"See you around Issen."

IIIIIIIIIIII

Okay, so it wasn't really a 'boss'. It was more like an 'intro stage boss' like the crab thing from MegaMan 8, or the scorpion robot from MegaMan Zero 2. But anyway, please review and eat chocolate.
