Disclaimer: I do not own the Classic Megaman series, the Megaman comic series, or the Battle Network series. I like them all, but I don't own them.
In the next chapter, things go from great to horrendous as Rocky is forced to reveal his alter ego as the first of the EXE series makes himself known. Again, I've got no clue to what the Battle Network bosses' attacks are. By the way, this is one of my favorite people from the Battle Network series. Anyways, here's chapter three!
Chapter Three
For The Better Good
Lunch finally came and as Rocky sat down, he suddenly slammed his head onto the table. "What's with you?" Rocky let forth a groan that confused both Chelsea and Aaron. "I forgot my lunch money." Aaron smiled. "We can always share." Rocky lifted his head a little bit. "Thanks. At least now I know what Elecman meant." Rocky tensed up after he said this. "Elecman? Who's that?" Thank God! They don't know who Elecman is! Hallelujah! Rocky sat straight up. "My brother." His friends started. "Really now? This is news to us. Any other relations?" Rocky smirked. "A sister and six more brothers, one of which I never knew about." Both of them just stared at him. "Woah. And here I thought that you were an only kid." Rocky smirked again. "Goes to show you that you can't judge a book by his cover." Chelsea smiled. "Amen to that." Meanwhile, the three troublemakers were out doing what they did best.
"Do you see him?"
"No."
"What do you see?"
"A brick wall."
"What the…" Dix and Dez both turned to see their brother looking at a brick wall.
"Then use the ladder!"
"Oh! Right." Dag climbed up the ladder and located Rocky.
"Found him!"
"Good! Now do it!"
Dag grasped a smoke bomb and he opened the window slightly. He reached back and prepared tossed it in. Meanwhile, at a nearby airport, a wall was suddenly blown in. A floating figure entered. "Hi there, fellow good-doers. My name is of no importance 'cause I'm here to turn you all into smoldering piles of ash!" With a thrust of his hand, the robot created a large wave of fire that incinerated the entire tower and everyone in it. Suddenly, police broke through the door and airport personnel took over the computers. "Freeze!" The figure sighed. "A Robot Master's job is never complete." His arms retracted into his sides and a lid was slammed over his head. After this, he smashed through the ceiling and flew off. "After him!"
Rocky was sharing Aaron's lunch when Chelsea got a chill. "Who opened the window?" Rocky looked up and saw Dag through the open window. "Get down!" Rocky took off an Dag they the bomb into the building. Luckily, Rocky caught the bomb and threw it back out of the window. This caused Dag to fall off of the ladder and activate the smoke bomb. People began cheering for Rocky and he played along by bowing.
The rest of the day when through uneventful until the end bell rang. As people began leaving the premises, the Boltz Boys showed up. "You're dead now, meat." Rocky sweatdropped. "That's a real bad pun." Dix lunged forward. "We'll see 'bout that!" Rocky pushed his friends aside and he jumped over the large bully. Dez came next and Rocky took off. After reaching the jungle gym, Rocky grabbed a bar, looped around it, and began taking off in the opposite direction as the bully smashed into the bars. Dag was the final one to attack, but he never reached Rocky due to what happened next. Earlier, the figure from the airport looked down at the school and laughed. "How 'bout that! It's a fight and one I didn't start! I'd better join this!"
Just as Dag was about to reach Rocky, the figure landed in the dirt in front of them. "Woah! What the…" Two hands connected to whip-like arms emerged from his side and the lid that acted like a helmet pooped up. "Hi! I'd just like to join you so that we can all beat the living snot out each other!" The figure had a floating head with holes for a mouth and eyes. His head was like a giant fireball that had flames surrounding it. An emblem showing a flame symbol was on the front of his lighter-like body. Wonderful! Of all places!
"Freeze!" Everyone turned to see a large amount of police officers aiming their guns at the stranger. Rocky, Chelsea, Aaron, and the Boltz Boys scrambled away before they could be shot as well. "Hmph. Leave it to the authorities to spoil your fun. And as far as freezing goes…" The figure held up on hand which burst into flame. "…I'm quite the opposite." He thrust his hand forward and the police scramble away as their cars and other vehicles where melted. Thoughts were flying in and out of Rocky's mind. Should I attack him? What would Dr. Light say? What would everyone else say? Finally, he made up his mind. "Come on! Don't you want to play with me! It's only fire! It's not like you can die from it! Well, actually you can. But that's beside the point!" In a white flash, Rocky disappeared and everyone gasped when they saw Megaman walk from Rocky's former position.
"HOT DAMN! Who'd of thought that I'd meet the legendary Megaman on my first day on the job! Mother would've been proud." Aaron, Chelsea, the Boltz Boys, and everyone else who hadn't run away by now just stood there gaping. "No way. Rocky is actually Megaman?" Aaron and Chelsea exchanged glances before responding in unison. "Sweetness!" Megaman slowly reached for his buster. "I don't know who you are or why you're doing this, but I'm afraid that I can't allow it." The figure threw his hands in the air. "Wonderful. Another party-pooper. What next? Are the police actually going to try to shoot me?" After the figure finished that sentence, an officer yelled for everyone to take cover and then they open fire. Unfortunately, the bullets were deflected off of his body. The figure sweatdropped. "I just had to say something."
Once the police fired off all of their ammo, the figure cleared his throat. "I am the first of an entire series of Robot Masters known as the EXE series." Megaman started. "The EXE series? Wait! You the one who attacked the airport a year ago! Heat Man!" The figure winced. "Ooh, so close. The name's Heat Man.EXE and I'm quite honored to get this chance to deep-fry you!"
(A.N. Seeing as Heat Man is a fire-type, his attacks are going to be ripped from the Hades battle in kingdom Hearts.)

Heat Man.EXE started by moving forward and thrust his hands forward, creating a large wave of fire. Megaman managed to roll out of the way and cry out a warning. "Get back in the building! Now!" Aaron and Chelsea were among the first ones to respond. Of course, when they were inside, they ran for the nearest window. Megaman fired one shot which knocked his opponent left. Then, after two more shots, he was knocked right and then backwards. Heat Man.EXE shook off the effects and pointed a finger at Megaman. A small flame emerged from his fingertip and Megaman dodged that. After a barrage of four shots, Heat Man.EXE was knocked to the ground. He was hit once more before getting angry. "Feel the heat." Aaron and Chelsea were pulled away from the windows just as Heat Man.EXE fired a long horizontal pillar of fire from each hand. This shattered every window in the school and then Heat Man.EXE began rotating clockwise.
Megaman began sprinting in the direction that this was moving and Heat Man.EXE stopped after a few seconds. "Hey. I'm just getting warmed up." Heat Man.EXE reached back and threw a small flaming rock at Megaman which knocked him to the ground. After getting back on his feet, Megaman fired a shot straight into his opponent's floating face. "Ah! My face! Why you… I'm gonna turn you into a pile of molten scrap metal!" Heat Man.EXE thrust forward as a small flame which nearly went right through Megaman. Megaman charged a shot and then let a huge explosive blast forward. This knocked Heat Man.EXE to the ground once more. "Woah. Talk about a rush. Speaking of which…" Heat Man.EXE threw three large fireballs into the air and they all burst into flame on contact with the ground.
As Chelsea watched this, an idea came to mind and she spun around to face the Boltz Boys who were watching this as well. "Hey, lummox! What did ya do with that smoke bomb?" The leader, who Chelsea referred to as lummox, pointed to a nearby trash can. She dove towards it, fished it out, and threw it to Aaron. "Throw that out to Rocky!" Aaron just looked at it. "What for?" Chelsea groaned. "What part of 'bomb' don't you understand?" Aaron started. "I get it. This thing will explode if it comes into contact with fire. And that guy's a bonfire all his own. Hey Rocky! Heads up!" Megaman turned around and caught the canister. What the… Wait a sec! Heat Man.EXE seemed confused. "What the… What's that?" Megaman smirked as he caught on. "I'll tell you what it is." He chucked it at Heat Man.EXE, who sighed. "Oh dear. It's…" Megaman cut him off, finished his sentence, and dove for cover. "It's highly-flammable." Heat Man.EXE started. "What?" The canister exploded as it came into contact with his burning head and the whole fiery mess fell to the ground.

Megaman stood up and everyone inside the school who had ducked before the explosion looked at the fiery mess. Shortly, after nothing happened, the kids from the school and the police force began cheering. Megaman smirked and just narrowly managed to duck under a flying piece of burning metal. This metal got lodged in the school's wall, then two large hands stretched out and smacked together where Megaman had just been before he rolled away. Upon contact with each other, they both burst into flame and a helmet-less Heat Man.EXE rose from the ground looking very ticked off. "How dare you! I'll fry each and every witness to this outburst to a freaking crisp!"

Heat Man.EXE reached back and swung a flaming hand at Megaman before shoot flaming darts out of his fingertips as if they were machine gun rounds. Megaman managed to dodge them all and then Heat Man.EXE thrust forward in fireball form again, which Megaman also dodged. When Heat Man.EXE became himself again, he began growling and then he threw his arms behind him, creating a huge pillar of flame. Megaman rolled out of the way of this and got a charged shot ready. When the pillar subsided, Megaman unleashed the shot and this finished Heat Man.EXE off.

Heat Man.EXE threw his back out as he keeled over. "This can't be happening!" As he began to explode, a familiar, yellow-scarfed robot watched as this happened. "Well, guess he doesn't need my help. EXE series Robot Masters, ha!" The figure beamed out as Heat Man.EXE exploded into a million particles with one final cry of anguish. The people began cheering once more and Megaman sighed before smiling. This didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought it would. Nothing can go wrong now. But he was wrong.
In the next chapter, Megaman is criticized about being a crime-fighting robot and his patience is pushed to the limits. I apologize if you didn't like the way this battle turned out, but I assure you, they will get better. So, Read and Review and I'll continue!
