Chapter Three

Bombs & Brawn

"You're kidding me, right?" Fireman had entered a construction site and now had half of the police pointing their guns at him. "What'd I do?" Megaman explained that Fireman had been reprogrammed and was assisting him. Many of the policemen still kept their guns aimed at him. "Not surprising. You did nearly burn a school down. During class."

An explosion at the top of the site caught everyone's attention. "If you would vouch for me, I'll take care of this." Fireman used Atomic Fire to quickly rise to the top of the structure.

However, oil dripped from the top of it and Fireman canceled the attack. He hopped in the floor he was currently level with before looking down at Megaman. "Unless you want to see another building go up in flames, you'd better get up there and find out where the oil's coming from."

Megaman nodded and used Lightning Grapple to quickly get to the top. Upon landed on the roof though, he was barely able to regain his balance. "Greetings. Did you miss me?"

Megaman gaped at the fact that the entire roof, which was covered in oil. "Oops, did I have an accident? Nah! I think it was just the echo of an explosion!" Bombman spawned a bomb in his hand. "Hyper Bomb!"

Megaman slid in the oil and shot Bombman in the face. "Grr… Napalm Bomb!" Another bomb was fired and Megaman slid in the oil to dodge this one as well. Again, Bombman was shot in the face. "Fine, I'll reduce this place to rubble!!"

Elsewhere, the cloaked figure walked through his base. "Let's see. The capsule is almost ready. As is the rocket. All I need now is more of Megaman's data. I believe the third of eight is being fought as we speak. Luckily, I sent a drone to scan him if I could not."

In a nearby quarry, a crystal in a robot shimmered red as it continued to scan Megaman's battle data. Speaking of which… "Hyper Bombs!!" Bombman unleashed a torrent of bombs that devastated the area around Megaman.

He was thrown face-first into what oil was left. As he looked up to Megaman, he remembered something. "It's worth it." Bombman raised an eyebrow as Megaman unleashed Wildfire Cyclone.

The attack ignited the oil, sending both him and Bombman flying from the rooftop. Fireman caught Megaman, but Bombman fell onto a police car. Moments later, Megaman and Fireman were on ground level.

Megaman pulled Bombman out of the car's wreckage and beamed back to the lab with him. "Traitor!" Fireman turned around and was met with a hard right to the face. "What the… Oh, of course."

Fireman looked at Gutsman, who seemed super-pissed. "You and Bombman are like this, right?" Fireman put his hands together and cracked his knuckles. "Something like that."

At the lab, Bombman was thoroughly searched. "Nothing again. This supports my theory that there was a signal that caused this." Megaman nodded as Chelsea ran in. "Fireman and Gutsman are fighting at the construction site!" Megaman nodded and beamed off. Elsewhere, there were more problems.

"What are you doing here?!"

"Nothing, dear uncle. Just paying you a little visit, seeing how you've been."

"Like hell! Get out!"

"Make us!"

"Yeah!"

"Fine, I will. Activate… Zero.EXE!"

Ha! Zero was destroyed in that crater."

"Yeah! He's probably rusting by… OH…"

Zero, who'd been listening from behind a wall, heard gunshots, a large blast being fired, and finally, and large particle beam or something similar being fired. "My arm!!" A few more gunshots, but in a different direction. Then, silence.

"Beautiful show! Those little bastards won't come back! Especially seeing as you removed this little feature." There was a brief pause. "Hahahaha! And this was only a test. You're far from completion, so let's finish and see what else you can do!"

Back at the construction site, Fireman was thrown through a wall. He jumped to his feet as Gutsman charged him. Both had taken considerable amounts of damage, but Fireman seemed to be winning. His face mask had been shattered a while back and that really pissed him off.

"Atomic Fire!!" Fireman lunged forward and speared Gutsman. As Megaman beamed down, he was barely able to duck before Gutsman flew at him. They crashed into a wall and Fireman jumped back, gathering fire in his hands. "Fire Storm!!"

Gutsman was disabled due to the intense heat and Fireman lowered his hands. "That's three. Plus me, that's four. Now it's Cutman and…" Megaman lowered his head. "Iceman…"

Fireman walked up and put a hand on his shoulder. "He'll be fine, Rocky. Take Gutsman back to the lab. I could use a little exercise after that battle." Megaman nodded and beamed off while sitting on Gutsman shoulders. (Couldn't lift him very well, now could he?)

By the time Fireman got back, Gutsman and Bombman were active again. "Well, nice to see you guys back to normal." Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Dix and Dag were anxious about something.

"Rocky! We need you!" Rocky stepped out of the estate. "How so?" Dix then swallowed. "Degandthearmandthegoneandthehospitaland… uh… Zero!" Everyone started. "What! Zero? Wait… What happened to Deg?" Dix got an annoyed look on his face. "His arm got cut off!!"

Next time: Size does matter.
