Hey guys. ThatOtherFella here! This time. I thought about spending a whole chapter in the Megaman universe. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 6: The replacement.

"Don't you think it's odd she got over that depression so carelessly?" The orange robot said. "It's like she was still extremely depressed the other day. And now she's totally fine the next day?" The orange robot said. He was Concrete Man. He was talking to Dr. Light about Roll.

"As I said, I don't know what happened. I'm just happy she got over her depression." He told him again. "It would be a shame if she still was depressed. I'm working on a big project by the way. I'll introduce it later." He said as he walked away.

"Okay. I'm going to get some snacks." Concrete Man said as he walked away as well. But as he walked away. Dr. Light went to his lab and turned on a machine. It was a capsule with a green humanoid robot with purple pieces on it's armor inside. "Hopefully this works..." He pulled a lever and the machine started to glow. Then a giant sound erupted. "It worked..." Dr. Light said as he started at the now free machine. "Welcome Lyric... "

Later...

It was a nice, peaceful, day in Monsteropolis. Concrete Man was snacking on food. Jewel Man was talking about some robot celebrities with his friends. And Roll was happily walking though the street. She was walking to Dr. Light's lab. When she got there she was suprised to see a new robot in the lab. She looked confused due to the robot. But Dr. Light then instantly greeted her.

"Hi Roll. Nice to see you here!" He happily welcomed her into the lab. Roll was a bit more confused by the fact that Dr. Light seemed to ignore the robot. Like it was just a new creation of his.

"Doc? Who's that robot... ?" She questionied the large inventor. He replied to her question.

"Well, This is a new creation of mine. I call him Lyric. He said introducing the new robot. "Since Megaman is gone for now. I decided if any trouble breaks out in Monsteropolis. He would be the one to stop it." The robot had light green armor around its body with dark purple shoulders and knee pads. It didn't have a helmet and it's hair was brown. It had a blank expression on its face. The robot waved it's hand at Roll, quiet.

"Err... Hi!" She said as she shook the robot's hands. Still no word from him. "Well... I'm going to leave now. Bye!" She said happily as she left the lab. "Man. What a odd robot. Wouldn't really say anything." She thought to herself as she walked away. But then, She saw a mob of robots coming at her. They had the same blue robes as the ones she was kidnapped by.

It was the Megaman fan club.

"Oh no..." Roll muttered out as she started to dash away from the rising mob. The mob suddenly spotted her and started to run as well. The chase was on. Roll was running as fast as she could. Jumping over several objects in the way. The mob followed too. Trampling multiple things in their way. Luckily, Roll was start to get away when,

BUMP!

Roll had collided with something and fell doen when she got up, her eyes widened. It was the same robot she meet in the underground room. It had the same bandages on it's arm. The same bulky body. Everything

"Seems like you made a grave mistake now." The robot told her as a devilish grin appeared on it's face. Roll was extremely scared of what the robot was going to do to her.

Please don't hurt me Please don't hurt me

But Roll didn't realized that the mob was catching up to her. She was just focusing on the robot standing in her way. But then she started to hear a loud noise. Then' she immediately knew what it was.

Pleasedon'thurtmePleasedon'thurtme

She was basically a sitting duck at this point. She knew she couldn't win. But then she heard a loud screeching noise. She looked behind her and-

"WHAT!!?!?!?!!?"

It was Lyric with his buster out facing the now moitionless mob. He had a helmet on now. It was a purple helmet with green stripes. Resembling that of Megaman's helmet. Her mouth was wide open with wide eyes. Realizing that the robot was protecting her. The robot turned around as well. With a much different expression on his face. His face was red-hot. Steaming blowing out of the robot.

"How DARE you threaten my own brethren! You will pay for this!" The robot suddenly linged into the silent robot. But it jumped away from the incoming threat. The robot had now colided with the earth. Stuck once again. Lyric thought that this would be a good time to use a weapon. So his armor suddenly changed to a orange and white palette. Danger Wrap. He fired the mine at the robot. Suddenly then. It exploded into a bubble with the robot inside. "Guys! HELP!" The now defenseless robot called out as he floated in the air. The ruckus had finally stopped. Roll walked over to the now calm robot and thanked it.

"Wow... That was crazy! Thanks for protecting me back there though. That was really brave!" She told the robot. The robot still didn't reply. Roll was honestly still very concerned about the robot. It wouldn't talk to her. It was like it had it's sound chip removed. But still, she was happy that the robot had saved her. But then she started hearing something around her, and there was quite a lot of it. Turns out. A crowd had gathered around to see what crazy things were going on. Even Shadowman was there. But one certain robot had walked out of the crowd to look at the new robot.

"So your new here eh?" The slim robot asked the android. The robot was red with white stripes across it's body. It had long arms with white gloves and it's legs were long as well. He had a red helmet with a white crystal at the top. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the one, and only, Ace Man! The new protector of Monsteropolis." The robot said as he posed dramatically. The other robot still didn't reply. The robot started to stare at the still silent bot. "Hey! Are you giving me the silent treatment!" The robot harshly told him. But Roll told the robot about Lyric.

"Don't be angry! He's just a really silent robot." She answered the red robot.

"Ah. Okay. So do you know his name?" He questioned the female robot.

"Oh! His name is Lyric! He's another robot build by Dr. Light. He was supposed to fight crime in Monsteropolis while Megaman is gone!" She answered the robot again.

"Interesting." He said. "He's basically has the same purpose as me. Seems like a bland rip-off of me!" He retorted the robot. A angry face started to appear on Lyric's face. Then. Lyric started to tackle Ace Man in revenge. The crowd started to watch again. But Roll had different expression on her face.

"Please stop!" She screamed out. The crowd stopped chanting. Roll started to walk up to the two bots. "Listen. Fighting isn't going to get us anywhere. Megaman is gone. And we don't now if he's coming back. He could even be dead at this point. So please, stop fighting!" She told the two. Lyric stopped tackling Ace Man, and Ace Man stopped punching back. They looked at each other.

"Okay. Sorry I called you a bland rip-off of me. It was rude and unjust of me." He apologized to the now neutral bot. Nothing. "I'll take that as a "I'm sorry." now. So what are we going to do next?" The robot questioned him. Then. The robot started to point out to a certain structure. The crowd and everyone else started to look as well. It's was the Wily fortress. Then Roll started to explain the reasoning for this.

"Well. We don't know what Wily is cooking up. So... I guess it would be the perfect time to check on him." The girl said. The crowd started to nod in agreement to this.

"It would be a good idea to spot on Wily as well." Ace Man said. "Maybe he has a universal machine as well." He said again. "So it's official. We will be checking on Wily for now. We will be off for now. Bye!" The robot said as he and Lyric teleported away. When the two finally got there. They stared at the castle for a while. "It must be amazing to live in such a castle. Right?" He told the robot. It replied with a nod. The robot winked back as he start to walk towards the castle. He started calling out Wily's name. "Wily? Wily! I know you can hear me!" He called out. No response. He tried calling out again. "Stop playing with me! WILY!" He calle spit again. But a Sniper Joe caught his eye. He ran up to the robot, grabbing it's arm. "Do you know where Wily is?" He told the robot.

"Why do I have to tell you?" The robot shouted out. But Lyric came closer to the bot, when he stopped, his buster came out and was facing the Sniper Joe.

"Either you tell us where Wily is. or you get destroyed." He said quietly, with a bit of anger.

"Fine! Fine." He said as he lead them to the castle. He opened the gate and went inside with the two. They looked around the castle for a bit. Then they went inside. He lead them around the rooms for a while as well. But they finally got to Wily's room. But Wily was nowhere to be seen.

"You lied to us. You said Wily would be here!" Ace Man scolded the robot.

"It seems like you fell for my trap! Wily was gone this whole time." He then got out a remote and pressed a button. Not too soon. Some alarms started going off. The two robots looked around.

"Quick! He activated the security system!" He told the silent robot as he started to lock the door. When the door was finally locked. AceMan pinned the Sniper Joe to the wall. "Now you are going to actually tell us where Wily is." He scold them robot again.

"Wily's... Searching... Megaman..." he muttered out.

"Wily's searching for Megaman?" He asked the robot. "Where?"

"Traveled... Through... Universes..." He muttered out once again.

"Megaman's in a different universe?" He asked the robot again.

"He... Used... Machine..." The finally said before falling down to the ground.

"Wait a minute. So that means... Is Megaman in a different universe? We have to find him!" He said as he unlocked the door and rushed to see where the machine would be. They had to go fast though. Because several robots were firing and chasing them. They finally escaped the endless horde of robots when the two found a unlocked door. They went inside, tired from the chaos. But a machine inside the room caught their eye. It was a purple teleported. But it looked like the one Megaman teleported with. "Is that a copy of the teleporter Megaman got stuck in? If that's so. Then let's go in!" Ace Man cried out as he and Lyric jumped into the teleporter. When they were inside the machine started to float and flash a dark purple color and then...

It was gone.
