Mega Man 12: The Final Plot of Wily

Chapter 2: Drowned Man Stage (Or Riverside Rumble)

"Where is the impostor..."
Mega Man mumbled to himself as he ducked into an alley, as someone almost spotted him. The people were out to get him, a feeling that he wasn't familiar with. He had to constantly duck into shadows to keep himself safe, and following the trail had taken almost all day. The sun, which had just started to peek out across the horizon at the time Mega Man left on his journey, now hung high in the noonday position, which was not great for the blue bomber to be stealthy in. The Speed Gear helped him not get noticed as he ran, but it wasn't that effective.

Getting down to the riverside took Rock all day, and the sunset was just starting. He looked and saw that Wily's typical assortment of bad guys were there, but they looked a little different. They were slightly rusted and corroded, which was the opposite of what Rock was used to seeing. It was like someone had thrown them into the river and kept them there for a long time before he showed up. He wondered who could have done this as he started to go through the riverfront, looking for traces of his corrupt clone. He looked out and saw there were few platforms here.
"Time to do what I do best. Running and Gunning."

Rock ran to the first platform and shot the first Mettaur, blowing it apart and into tarnished bolts trough its helmet. Rock looked surprised but kept his progression through the fairly linear setup of the area of platforms, jumping and blasting beat up Wily creations. Rock thought he saw a flash of movement out of the water whenever he shot his opponents, but he wasn't sure if it was an illusion caused by the sun setting playing out over the river's slow movement.

He noticed that there were seemingly more homemade foes, like the people of the city had attached objects together haphazardly and made them into devices made to stop him. He shook his head and approached a doorway that opened for him, and caused him to step into a large room, half flooded by the river, but with several masses of metal, plastic, and jettisoned parts from Wily's creations.

As Rock looked at the water, a dark shape emerged and roared at him, causing him to aim his Mega Buster. A large dragon shaped robot reared its head at him. Unlike everything else here, the robot looked new. Mega Man noticed Doctor Wily's logo stamped onto the dragon's forehead before it chomped angrily at him. Mega Man gave a battle yell and started to fire at its underbelly, causing the robot to flash. Rock and the dragon went at it, engaging in a battle of patterns: Rock would shoot, the dragon would snap at him, and Rock would counter by shooting up its nose.

After some time of this happening, eventually the mecha-dragon burst into energy. The door to exit the room slid upwards, and Rock ran toward it. When he entered it, he heard a sound like a creaking come from under him. He jumped up as a shot of rusted metal fused together to form a sort of shortsword shot up from where he was just standing.

Rock also hadn't noticed before now, but he felt the water of the river was starting to make his traction feel a little unsteady. He ran toward the edge of a platform that led into the dark water and jumped for the platform he could see on the other side. His feet landed on the other side of the small chasm, and he saw what he was looking for, a door emblazoned with the foreboding symbol of Wily - a W with the letters DR printed above it. Rock steeled his mega buster, not with the usual self assurance he had, but instead with a feeling of dread that he would have to fight someone who had been hurt by a duplicate of himself, and explain who he was.
