Trouble In Paradise

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, Megaman takes on the biggest of the EXE series in a trip to an amusement park that he, Alan, and Chelsea won't soon forget. For those of you who haven't noticed, Beast Man.EXE is just the enhanced form of Slash Man from MM7. Just pointing that out. Here's chapter eight!

Chapter Eight

The Belly Of The Beast

Bass emerged from the basement in a sweat and, before anyone asked what was wrong, he pointed to the brothers. "You! Room! Now!" The Boltz Boys got the picture and ran up to their room. Treble went to follow them, but Bass motioned for him to stop. "Let them try to escape. I'll catch them soon enough." He turned on the TV to distract him from what was going on. "This is a breaking news story! The remains of an EXE series Robot Master has been discovered lying in the Megalopolis State Park. In unrelated news, a flying saucer has been seen flying over the city ad has prevented all of the police force's attempts to destroy it." Bass sighed and chuckled. "Old man has his work cut out for him. He got up and walked to the brothers' room. He kicked the door in and sighed. "How 'bout that, Treble. They all went to… DAMMIT!" That's when he noticed the open window. He ripped the covers off and found a generously placed bunch of stuff in the form of each brother. "Why those little… Oh, I'll ground them for a century if I get my hands on them." He combined with Treble, jumped out of the window, and flew off.

Meanwhile, Rocky, Chelsea, and Alan were heading to the amusement park. "I heard there's this new roller coaster that's guaranteed to make you hurl." Alan smiled weakly. "Yeah, I'll just stick to the shooting gallery or something." Chelsea scoffed and Rocky intervened. "You do know that were going there to locate and destroy Beast Man.EXE, right?" They nodded in unison. "We can't do much to help, so we'll just skim around until you're done." Rocky sighed and shook his head. He knew Chelsea. Once she made a decision, only the Apocalypse would change her mind. "We're here!" Auto stopped and the three entered the park manager's office. After talking things out, they managed to get in free of charge. "It's one of those many things that makes it good being a Light." Chelsea scoffed. "it's one of those many things that makes it good to know a Light." Rocky smirked and they entered the park.

They came up with a place to meet and Rocky set off. It didn't take long for, within minutes of separating, he found Beast Man.EXE on top of the new roller coaster. "Lovely." Many people were already noticing him and trying to get away from the coaster, but Megaman made his way through the crowd, pressed his watch, and entered the waiting room. "I need a coaster to take me up there!" He said this because Rush couldn't climb as steeply as needed. So, this was plan B. The operator pointed up the first large slope of the coaster and Megaman began running up it. He eventually reached the car and jumped onto the front of it. "How 'bout that." He turned around and Chelsea waved as Alan just smirked weakly. "We got on this after we realized he was on it." Megaman turned to Beast Man.EXE who noticed him, jumped high into the air, and landed much farther in the track. Megaman sighed. "I hate babysitting."

He knew Chelsea was going to smack him for that later, but right now he didn't care. "Aren't you going to buckle in?" Megaman started as he realized the huge downhill slope was right in front of them. "Oh boy." The thing that people saw was a roller coaster reaching the top of its' first big hill and Megaman nearly flying off as it flew downwards. "I can see how Alan didn't want to try this!" Megaman tried his best to cling onto the coaster and was nearly thrown off when the first sharp turn came into play. All Megaman tried to do for the next few seconds was not trying to fly off and trying to prevent Alan from hurling. Suddenly, then made another turn and began going up a smaller hill. "Unbuckle your belts." Alan started. "Are you crazy?" Megaman pointed to a not-so-far-away Beast Man.EXE who was standing on the other side of a gaping hole where track once stood. "Proceeding to obey." Alan and Chelsea stood up and gripped onto Megaman tightly. "Hold on! It's gonna be risky, but its' our only chance!" The coaster flew down wards, into the curved sloped caused by the destroyed attack, and flew into the air. Megaman jumped off and his armor became light yellow as he shot Lightning Grapple at the coaster's destroyed line. He swung into a bunch of trees were they softly landed as the coaster smashed into the ground.

"Oh… My… God…" Alan's breath came in slow puffs because he'd continuously yelled, "We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Megaman helped them both up where they walked out of the trees and Megaman received applause and cheers for his rescue. He smirked softly until Beast Man.EXE jumped down in front of him. "Impressive. I never thought you'd survive that, let alone save your human friends. "But no matter. The three prior to me were a triplex of idiocy. I know how to gain power and also know how to control it." His large claw shot out again and Megaman's friends swiftly moved towards the crowd. "Now, let's see what you're really made of." He leapt into the air and began sailing over the entire park. "First test! See if you can locate me!" Megaman took off after him and, within minutes, found him standing in a small crater near a dinosaur-based coaster. "Second test. See if you can escape me." He lunged forward and Megaman took off, jumping into a shooting gallery. Beast Man.EXE stomped past him and Megaman brought out Sniper Missile. He jumped out of it as the crowd walked right up to the Robot Master's face just as Megaman fired at him. "Very good. Now, test three. See if you can survive me!"

He spun around and tore the shooting gallery to pieces as Megaman did a backflip to avoid it. His armor became light red and he slid under Beast Man.EXE. "Wildfire Cyclone!" He used the flame attack underneath Beast Man.EXE and he burst into flames. "Agh! Ack!" He stumbled to his feet only to his feet as the flames burnt out, leaving behind a toasted armor. He swung his claw angrily at Megaman and he shot off another flame cyclone. This one knocked Beast Man.EXE onto his back where a large coaster came heading for him. He'd destroyed part of the rail of the dino coaster, not realizing that Megaman would actually leave the area. So, Beast Man.EXE got a face full of twisted metal and he lay limp for a few minutes before standing up weakly. "You… How dare you… You try and deny us our own places in society and yet you cannot stand the mistreatment of robots… Who's side are you on?" A large piece of metal fell from his chest and a small chip popped out of it as it broke. "I'm falling apart, Megaman. But rest assured, this is far from over."

Within minutes, to the dismay of many people, the park was closed for repairs and Megaman grabbed the chip. "So, what now?" Megaman smirked. "Hold on." He gripped their shoulders and beamed back to the Light estate. After shaking off the effects of teleportation, they entered the house and Elecman began clapping. "Well done. You not only saved human lives, but you made sure that another Robot Master doesn't show his face in this city again." Rocky shook his head as he tossed the chip to Elecman, who studied it. "Uppercut Claw. A powerful uppercut attack that converts your hand into a powerful blade of energy. This is a very powerful attack and I estimate that you can only use it about four times." Rocky shrugged, then joined his friends and half-brothers in watching TV. Elsewhere, the Boltz Boys were currently seeking shelter at their school. They'd actually found and unlocked a window, which was unusual for the weekends, and snuck in. "I hope what's-his-face doesn't find us here." Dag sighed. "It's Bass." So, they just sat there, pondering on what to do next as Bass continued searching for them.

In the next chapter, nighttime falls and Megaman takes on the prince of darkness. Until then, Read and Review and I'll continue!
