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

A Wily tale, the beginning.

Part 17

Jonny woke up the next morning to see Doc sitting on his chest looking him square in the eye. He would've been irritated from the weight on his chest but the little robot had grown on him somewhat. Instead of screaming or hitting the Metool (something the little Met had grown used to from Dr. Wily) Jonny picked him up and set him on the bed next to him.

With a groan Jonny rubbed his eyes. He hated the feeling of cold air as he sat up from his warm bed. It hadn't been as nice and soft as the one he had slept in at Dr. Light's house but he didn't complain. He was surprised the old jerk hadn't made him sleep on a wooden plank or a bed of nails.

Jonny shook his head in an attempt to wake himself up a little before looking at the Metool. "What's with the wake up call Doc?"

The Metool bounced on the bed. Seeming to enjoy the springs launching him into the air. Jonny sighed at the small robot and got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed.

"I hope you aren't going to wake me up like this every day Doc." Jonny said as he shot a look at the small robot. Jonny wasn't exactly not a morning person.

Doc, who was no longer amused by bouncing on Jonny's bed hopped down and ran to the door where he began to hop up and down rather ecstatically. This only made Jonny sigh. As he opened the door the Metool ran a good fifteen feet down the hall before stopping, turning to face Jonny, and began to hop up and down letting out sharp 'mee!' noises.

Jonny shook his head. Getting the message the Metool was trying to convey. "I get it, I get it... I'm coming..."

Jonny closed the door and followed Doc down the hall. After a few twists and turns they arrived at Dr. Wily's lab. However once Jonny opened the door he turned his head to see Doc sprinting as fast as his little legs could carry him away from the door and around the corner. Jonny mentally shrugged and entered the lab to see his grandfather hard at work on a few robots.

Dr. Wily looked up from welding on the interior of one of the robots and lifted his protective mask. "Don't just stand there, pick up some tools and give me a hand." He growled before getting back to his work.

Jonny could only sneer as he picked up some solder and walked over to one of the robots and began to splice weld wires together. Thankfully Dr. Light had taught him what and what not to do when wiring robots. Back in Dr. Light's lab Jonny had shorted out two small robots before he had gotten the hang of it. Those days were begining to feel like they happened years ago. True they had been years ago but it felt as if he had been here for longer than he had. He wanted this to be over so he could go back to Dr. Light.

Mega man soared high on top of Rush in his jet mode. Looking down at the city he couldn't help but feel a sense of total and utter serenity run through his emotion cuircits. Absently he wondered if humans felt this way when they looked down at the city like he was doing right now. However he hadn't the time for these thoughts, as much as he wanted to keep staring down at the city he had to get back to his search for Bass.

As Mega man arrived at the center of town he quickly spotted the Wily bots in the park. The plumes of smoke rising from the fires Bass had just set with his buster cannon as well as the craters and splintered trees were dead give always.

Mega man mentally sighed as he landed in the park and looked around. Such willing destruction... Bass was truly a monster, one that Wily had based off his own design. Bass had been made to counter Mega man in every way, but in many ways he was superior to Mega man at least in terms of fire power and strength. His power source was an experimental substance that was both longer lived and more potent called 'Bassnium' and he and Treble could combine and become an even more lethal fighting machine. However Bass had none of Mega man's kindness, compassion, or ethics. Bass was stronger than Mega man but the reason he kept loosing was because Mega man fought for reasons other than to be the most powerful robot alive. Mega fought to protect and help people while Bass fought for his own petty desires. Bass had even turned on his own master a few times because he saw him as a hindrance. Mega would have to stop him soon or else Bass would start hurting people to get his attention.

Rush changed back to his normal canine mode and followed Mega man through the park until the trail of broken trees and fires came to a sudden halt.

"What do you think Rush? Are they hiding?" Mega man asked as he turned to his long time companion.

Rush blinked at the question and nodded in agreement. If he had been given normal speech components like most robots had he would've simply told Mega man that. Rush walked forward and began to sniff the air. Trying to track Bass and Treble with his powerful sense of smell.

"You getting anything boy?" Mega man asked.

Rush's ears perked up as he picked up a familiar scent. He barked and bolted farther into the park.

"Rush wait! Wait up!" Mega man called to his the robot dog as he chased after him. The gap between them was growing at a very fast rate as they raced into the park. Mega didn't like this one bit. Bass had laid traps before and something in the back of his processors made him feel like he and Rush were playing right into one.

No sooner than he thought this did he see a purple blur leap out of the bushes and tackle Rush. It was Treble, he had knocked Rush back into one of the trees and was now advancing on the red canine with his teeth bared and ready to attack.

"Rush!" Mega man cried as he retracted his hand into his buster cannon and prepared to fire at Treble. However as Mega was about to shoot Bass came down from his hiding place in the trees and planted his boot to the side of Mega's helmet. The blue bomber was knocked back into the leg of a metal swing set.

Mega man groaned as he got to his feet. He looked back to see that his metal body had completely ruining the piece of playground equipment. He'll have to make it up to the kids later. If he survived.

"Leave the mutts to their own fight Mega twerp. You and I have a score to settle." Bass said as his hand disappeared into his buster cannon.

Mega man could see the hateful glare in Bass's dark eyes. Bass had always been an aggressive and destructive robot but he didn't think of him as a real enemy like he did the robot masters. After the incident with King when he had to team up with Bass to defeat King, a powerful robot who had taken control of the Robot masters and revolted against Dr. Wily. During that time Mega had begun to think of Bass as a possible ally. But he had been wrong before like when he first met Bass. Bass had appeared and told him that he was working against Wily and later ended up trashing Dr. Light's lab and stealing the conversion parts that were meant for Mega man and Rush. That's how Bass and Treble were able to combine at will. Since then Bass had begun to think of Wily as much a hindrance to his primary goal as Mega man, maybe even more. And this lead Bass to become increasingly harder for Dr. Wily to control him. But now Mega was staring at Bass and he wasn't looking like he wanted this to end without only one of them walking away.

The sinister grin that was now forming on Bass's face seemed to mirror Treble's bared teeth. Both of them were practically standing over their lifelong enemies and they had the perfect opportunity to end this game.
