Chapter Eight
Sparking Man-Drill
Megaman walked into the quarry with his hands over his ears due to the noise. A massive drill, one that took up the entire side of the cliff, was drilling madly, Megaman walked into a somewhat sound-proofed room. "What is it?!"
The man shrugged. "It definitely not ours! This thing has been going nowhere for a hour now!" Megaman stepped outside, turned the volume that his ears perceived down, and summoned his buster. "Let's do this."
As soon as he neared the drill, it slowed to a stop. Megaman examined it before beginning walking up it. He was about in its' midsection when it jerked. "Lovely!"

Megaman began running for the top, but the speed soon increased so Megaman was slowly moving backwards. Then, he noticed a red jewel shimmering. It was embedded in the inner side of the drill.
Megaman quickly scanned its' signal and noticed five total signals. "Right, let's go!" Megaman began shooting the crystal, but the shots were deflected. So, Megaman tried many of the special weapons he had, sometimes being forced to shoot at a lower one.
Finally, he managed to lunge at the crystal with Uppercut Slash. This cracked the crystal and caused the drill to stop. As Megaman began running to the top of the drill, it reversed direction.
Megaman nearly fell and began running the other way, but not as strong. Megaman got to the top signal and looked behind him. Two sawblades made sure that the drill was all that entered some bizarre-looking machine. "Lovelier!!"
Megaman began running towards the crystal and used Uppercut Slash. This stopped the drill and Megaman used it again. The drill changed direction again and Megaman was barely able to use it a third time, shattering the crystal.
The top part of the drill cracked and went to fall off as the rotation stopped, but the rocks held it in place. Megaman jumped to the ground and walked up to the lowest crystal. "Well, might as well."
Megaman punched the crystal hard, and the drill jerked. Megaman unintentionally switched to Lightning Grapple and fired it as he fell. Sawblades emerged from the ground and Megaman slid towards them.
He jerked to a stop above them and Megaman looked up. Lightning Grapple had broken through the rest of the crystal and had been inserted into the panel behind it. "Thank God."
Megaman slowly pulled himself up the grapple, then shook himself off of the drill. He retracted the grapple and began to rethink his strategy. A wrecking ball swung nearby and Megaman turned to look at a crane. He ran to the man driving and said that he was going to hop on the ball. He then made his way to the ball. "Hit it!"
The wrecking ball was swung into the midsection, causing the top part to loosen and the whole drill to stop. A second hit nearly knocked Megaman off, but he held on. The third swing was about to make contact when the top section fell off and broke the chain. The ball tore through the drill and threw Megaman off. He landed hard and passed out.

"Dammit!" The figure smashed the console on which he had watched the fight. "This is not how it was supposed to go! Initiate self-destruct! Maybe next time, I will get a reasonable amount of battle data on him. What's this?"
The figure opened up a menu on the screen he'd turned to. "Omega, huh? Well, if this is in fact under that human's control, Megaman should fight it soon enough. I'll join him then."
Back in the quarry, the workers had begun to move the debris when Megaman came to. "Ugh… My head… Mental note: No more joyriding on wrecking balls…" Megaman turned to a screen that read 'Self-destruct in 10 seconds. "Run!! Don't ask questions, just run!!"
The workers quickly began making their way away from the site as Megaman struggled to his feet. He turned to the countdown, which was at three. "This is gonna hurt." The cliffside exploded and collapsed.
After it collapsed, people began running back to see if Megaman was okay. "No need! I'm fine. Sort of…" The workers stopped and turned to see Megaman, impaled on a girder. "The blast threw me over here. Mind helping me with this?"
After contacting Dr. Light and getting instructions on what to do, Megaman was slowly removed from the girder and put on a stretcher which was then put in the back of Light's limo. "I'll need to repair him at the lab. Aside from the girder, nothing seems to be to serious. He'll be fine."
Light shook hands with the manager, who was thankful that the person who saved his men would be alright, and then he got into the limo. "To the estate, Auto. I believe we need to do a few repairs." As the car turned back into the road, Megaman chuckled. "Loveliest."
