A couple of Smashers waited outside the crumbling restaurant, waiting for their friends, but after a long while, BLAM! Zero finally struck the door from the C.O.R.E to The Phantom Hourglass, and the team escaped the crumbling area.
As the door fell, Master Hand and the rest of the roster gasped, saw Mega Man, and heaved a well-needed sigh of relief.
Among them were Pit, Simon, Richter, Samus, Cloud, Ryu, Ken, Bayonetta, Joker, Snake, Dr. Wily, Corrin, Reflet, Mega Man E.X.E, Star Force Mega Man, Mega Man Volnutt, Bass, Pokéball Eevee, Pikachu, Pichu, and Kirby.
They ran up to see if the Maverick Hunters and Dr. Light's boys were alright as they turned back to the Smash Mansion, bathed in late-afternoon light.
"Oh goodness', Reflet cried, 'is the boy alright?!" Corrin said something similar.
"I'm gonna murder that Dimentio fella', Bass snarled, 'no kills Mega Dweeb but me". Dr. Wily agreed.
Richter put his hand on Bayonetta's shoulder as Cloud, Ken, and Ryu went to see their little friend.
Eevee, Mega Man's favorite Pokéball Pokemon, rubbed its chubby cheeks on Rock's boot affectionately, knowing the Blue Metal Hero couldn't feel her.
Samus placed her hand on Rock's cheek; he had been like a son to her.
The three other Mega Men exchanged worried glances as Pichu and Pikachu ushered them over to Classic Mega Man.
Kirby let out a sad, scared, "Poyo-Poyo, Meggy", to his power-copying buddy.
Pit and Simon strolled up to their friend. After sharing a cartoon together and being separated for about 25 years, my cousin and Evil's Whip-Wielding Bane weren't ready to give up on the Blue Bomber.
Pit slipped his golden rings off his wrist and placed them on Rock's chest, causing them to glow a brilliant sky-blue. A bright flash cut off everyone's vision, but it was all for a good reason.
In a few seconds, Rock's eyes flickered open.
The rings still retained their golden tint, and Pit retrieved them the second the Blue Bomber sprung back to life. "Wha- What… happened? Am… I alive?", he stammered.
Zero stood him up as everyone came up to hug him. "You scared me so badly!', Samus cried, 'do not EVER do that again, you little blue midget". Corrin and Reflet came up and kneeled to his level once Samus left, whispering, "For how much you've done for us, we've missed you". Rock smiled in response as Reflet gave him a kiss on the cheek.
X scooped him up and gave him a huge hug, which was quickly added onto by the other Mega Men, Bass, Axl, and Protoman. Pit and Simon broke the embrace of assorted blues, reds, and purples and proceeded to do the exact same thing.
Eevee, Pikachu, and Pichu climbed all over Mega Man, happy that their good friend was back. Mega Man summoned his pets, Rush, Beat, Tango, and Eddie, who were overjoyed to see their robot alright. Heck, even Bowser and Peach came up and thanked to kid.
Ken took his buddy by the arm and said, "Dude, promise me something. NEVER DO THAT AGAIN".
Rock put on a straight face and said nothing else as they went inside. Once the group got inside, Master Hand announced that he would be able to restore anyone that was turned into a card. Once the Blue Blur, the Yellow Bane of Ghosts, and everyone else was revived, Master Hand called Sonic, Mega Man, and PAC-MAN up to his office for a little chat, as he called it.
"I wanted to ask the three of you something', he inquired, 'did you guys see who was behind this charade?" Sonic looked confused, so he answered, "Um, Dimentio, right? He is the one who set this whole thing up." Master Hand nodded and recorded what Sonic had said. "Alright', the hand replied, 'thank you all. I know the three of you been through a lot, but I want you to know that it isn't your fault and you will not be punished for it. We had no idea that Count Bleck and Dimentio had come to this universe, so we had no way of knowing or preventing this from occurring. I thank you for pulling through that. You may leave now".
Sonic gave Pac and Rock a well-deserved high-five while heading down to the mess hall. The three of them were together all the time, and that's never gonna change.
Zero looked at the trio from the hallway they had turned down and snickered. "Little X', he whispered to himself, 'take care, will you?", before darting off into the distance, full of high spirits.
I hope you all enjoyed that! I had so much fun writing this piece, so I hope you all liked it! Until next time, Angel is out! PEACE!
