Jazzerman here, I do not own any of these characters, they are owned by their respected companies, blah, blah, blah. You've heard this sht before. I DO own Jonny Wily. If you'd like to use him in a fic, just tell me.

But I do own this story.

A Wily tale, the beginning.

Part 4

When Jonny awoke the sun was setting. He lay there staring at the roof of the cardboard box. Trying to think of what to do next now that was difficult. He had no one to go to, if he went back to the hospital or was caught he'd wind up in an orphanage and he did not want that in the least.

After stealing some clothes from a nearby charity drop off Jonny made his way down the street. Not many people even noticed the little kid walking the streets with no parents but that wasn't what was on Jonny's mind.

What he had managed to snatch from the drop off was a pair of jeans that where so faded they where more gray than blue, a grey T shirt that was a little big for him, and two broken sandals that where not a matching pair.

After a long walk Jonny found his way to the house where he had lived so peacefully with his parents only a matter of weeks before hand.

As Jonny peered over the fence he quickly noticed Constance in the yard.

"Constance! It's good to see you boy!" Jonny cried as he approached the robot hound.

The mechanical hound growled at him. As Jonny tried to pet the mechanical canine Constance snapped at him. Something he had never done to Jonny.

"Constance?" Jonny whispered as he backed away from the dog.

"Oh did you know this robot?"

"Huh?" Jonny said. Turning around to see a young man no more than twelve at the most.

"Sorry but we had it's memory erased because all it did was mope around all day. We bought the house only a few days ago but we found this little guy inside and he looked pretty lonely." As the young man laid a hand on Constance's head Jonny watched as the robotic dog wagged its tail. "Who might you be?"

This was too much. Jonny simply turned away from the older kid and held back his tears.

'Mom, dad, Constance, my house... They're all gone... Now what do I do? Why did this happen to me? I'm only six!' Jonny cried out in his mind.

"Hey you wanna come in? We've really done a lot of remodeling on this old house." The twelve year old asked, oblivious to Jonny's mental anguish.

That was the final straw. Heartbroken, and hopeless Jonny took off down the streets. Leaving the twelve year old and his former best friend alone wondering what was wrong.

The house and his only real friend where his last hopes for a chance at normalcy. Now he knew for certain that everything in his world was gone. Jonny ran back to the alley and hid in the cardboard box.

Jonny awoke in the late hours of the night. He would never have left his cardboard haven if not for the tormenting pains his stomach was giving him. Reaching into his pocket he was pleased to find that whoever had owned these old jeans hadn't checked the pockets before tossing them in the drop-off dumpster. Jonny had found a small handful of coins inside the front pocket equaling fifty three cents.

It wasn't much but it would be enough for a tiny bite to eat. And a tiny bit was better than nothing.

Jonny walked down the dark streets at a pace that boarded on over cautiousness. But to him it was necessary, those men's faces haunted his dreams and he wished he would never see them again.

Dr. Light was working late in his lab as usual. The old man wiped his brow and sat back in his chair. He had been working all night on this adapter for Mega man and Rush and the hours of work where starting to catch up with him.

"You don't have to push yourself like this Doctor." Mega man said as he walked into the lab with a bowl of hot soup.

Dr. Light smiled. He was always pleased when his children did something kind for him. "It's not a bother Rock, I'm almost done. Did Roll make this?"

The blue armored robot smiled a little at being called by his original name. "Yeah, it's your favorite."

Dr. Light took the plate and set it down on the table in front of him. "Thank you Rock, and tell Roll thanks for the tomato soup. And you even brought crackers. You two are too kind to this old man."

Mega man rubbed his head and grinned. "You made us and take such great care of us it's only right we try to help you out once in a while." Mega then straightened his face. "Have you heard anything?"

"No." Dr. Light said somberly as he looked at the warped reflection in his spoon. "They told me that he took off before the official even finish telling him where he was going to be living. The poor child..."

"Why would he run Doctor? I thought that if a human is injured he should be in the hospital. Like the lab is where me or Roll go if we're damaged." Mega man asked. He wasn't sure why someone would run away from a place that could repair a human's body.

"A hospital can only repair a human's body Mega." Dr. Light said taking a spoonful of soup and blowing on it. It was still too hot to eat. "Sometimes a person's mind is the hardest thing to heal. And a hospital isn't a place for such healing. Right now he's suffering from a broken heart from losing all he cared about. They just sold his house not too long ago and his family is gone. Imagine how you would feel if I passed on, Roll was taken away, and you left here all alone Mega. More over take away this house and all that's familiar. That's how he feels now."

Mega man looked at the ground and thought about that. If his father and sister where gone along with the place he had lived with them he'd be devastated. Just the thought of that made the blue bomber feel pretty down. "Did they ever find out who did that to him?"

Dr. Light shook his head. "Unfortunately no. Such an act should be punished. There is no excuse." Dr. Light took a sip of his soup. The taste of his favorite late night snack helped lightened his mood. "Mega man, I want you to keep an eye out for him. But if you see him I don't want to you to just drag him home."

Mega man cocked his head to one side. He wasn't sure why Dr. Light told him not to do that. "What do you mean Doctor Light?"

"I want him to come of his own free will. I would prefer you to make friends with him over forcing him to come here." Dr. Light said as he ate another spoonful of soup.

Mega man nodded. "Okay father. If I see Jonathan Wily I'll just talk to him."
