The Fully Charged Sickness Chapter 2
I don't own Mega Man: Fully Charged. Just a little reminder so CAPCOM, Dentsu and the others don't sue me.
Aki Light. A robotic child. Almost a Human, able to do anything a Human can. A kid by his nature, a hero by his alter ego name, Mega Man. Brave, kind-hearted, quite a jokester at times and ready to protect those in need.
Reduced to lying weakly on his bed, sick and unable to sleep.
He rolled around on his bed uselessly to try and get comfortable, but his vision kept spinning and he was dizzy and nauseous. Each of his hydraulically-powered limbs hurt and he was just in a bad way. He heard his door creak, and someone walked in quietly. He opened one eye to see his Human sister, Suna.
"Hey, Aki. How are you doing?" Suna asked softly, sitting at the end of his bed.
"Not great, buuut… could-" he stopped to cough for a few seconds "Could be worse, could be better." he replied.
"OK. I'll let you sleep for a bit, but you have to take your medicine later, OK?" Suna said calmly.
Aki was so tired, he basically blacked out and slept peacefully.
The middle of the night…
Aki woke up, and he felt even worse. Quite a lot worse. He was shaking uncontrollably, he was almost snow white being so unhealthily pale, he also was endlessly dizzy and, he felt like he might be sick. Everything just was too much for the unwell bot boy.
"Boss, did ya sister actually come and give you ya medicine?" Mini asked quietly, looking extremely concerned. Aki was in a bad way and shouldn't risk Meganizing in this state. It could have put too much stress on his machinery.
"I c-c-can't remember…" Aki whispered. His voice sounded quite weak and hoarse.
"Well, that ain't good. You gonna have to fight Fire Man as Mega Man, but if Aki's sick, then he…" Mini worried, just as he was cut off by Aki panicking.
"Ohhhhhhhh, for the love of my memory d-drive, I forgot about that!" Aki groaned, annoyed and scared that he was sick when Silicone City was stuck in the balance of the battles he always had to fight.
"D'ya think you might be up to it, kid?" Mini asked, his head fins laid back in his worry.
"Well, a h-hero's gotta be th-there for his home city, so… I'll try." Aki replied, grabbing Mini, turning toward the door and leaving. He left his house, ran to an alleyway and yelled "It's hero time! M-M-Mini, Meganize me!" and in a flash of blue pixels, he transformed from the brown-eyed kid Aki to the blue-eyed fighter robot, Mega Man!
Fully Charged and ready for battle!
And sure enough, as soon as he left the alleyway, Fire Man came rampaging down the street, shouting and setting fire to random things. "YeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEaaah! Time to set this city alight!" the firey bot shouted.
"You sure a-about-" Mega Man coughed for a few minutes. "About that?"
Fire Man looked at Mega Man suspiciously. "Are you sure you're not sick or something? Because, well, I wouldn't usually say this, but we can halt our battle until you recover, you know." the red bot said, looking around awkwardly. He didn't want to harm a sick robot, he'd remembered when Lord Obsidian was boasting about almost killing Mega Man…
Mega Man looked surprised for a second, then said "Nahhhhh, I'll be f-f-fine. Just-" he stopped to cough again. "Just got a cold or something…" even though he knew it was much worse than a cold.
"OK." Fire Man replied, and punched him straight in the face.
Mega Man was thrown several meters backwards and landed on the road. "Owwww…" he growled, getting back up and wiping dust off his armour. He ran forward and leapt high in the air, launching several blasts from his buster. He ran out of the way of several fire blasts and punched Fire Man. They went through firing at each other for a few minutes, until Fire Man punched Mega Man in his stomach again, and just like last time, Mega Man stayed down, nauseated and dizzy.
"Ughhhhhh… that really hurt…" he groaned weakly, one hand over his stomach.
He looked worse than before he'd started fighting, quite a lot paler compared to his usual skin colour. He was also starting to become feverish and his breathing didn't sound right.
"Uh, Mega Man?" Fire Man asked. He watched the little (In comparison to him, anyway) bot run over to an alleyway. When he found him again, pretty much ready to rip his motherboard out, he actually found the hero kneeling at a bin, throwing up, coughing and crying in his frustration. Fire Man suddenly felt sorry for him, and he put his hand just between the smaller bot's shoulder blades.
"I don't think we should fight if you're like this, Mega Man. I know I wouldn't usually, but I'm calling a temporary cease-fire, OK?" he said, unusually gently.
Mega Man had finally stopped being sick and looked up at Fire Man, honestly the most confused robot in existence. "Oh, OK. But, as soon as I get better, I'm gonna wreck you!" he shouted, trying to seem like his usual self but failing due to coughing uncontrollably afterwards.
"Well, if you say so, pipsqueak." Fire Man laughed, letting Mega Man leave.
On his way home…
Aki had Demeganized after he left sight of anyone, and was walking home, but he felt cold, and his legs felt like they weren't working right. He was shaking uncontrollably again and everything was spinning. Just as he made it to the middle of a road, he collapsed… and a truck was heading towards him…!
Okey dokey, that's Chapter 2 done! I hope you enjoyed reading this, Chapter 3 will be out pretty soon and, well, as usual, see you in the next one! ¦
