The problem with Megaman
As my squad of servbots and I went through Glyde's ship we found that it was nearly deserted save for a skeleton crew of twenty birdbots, all of whom were quickly subdued.
"ummm, Miss Tron, what are we doing on Glyde's ship again?" asked one of the servbots as we stealth fully walked down the halls of Glyde's ship.
"simple, why Leon's and Glyde's machines are distracted by the others we'll turn Glyde's own ship against them and then under the cover of the chaos caused by his ship shooting and exploding we'll get into Leon's ship unnoticed." I answered.
The servbot smiled innocently. "yes Miss Tron." He then snapped in salute and marched forward.
"hmm, my cute little soldiers…" I mumbled smiling to myself. One of the servbots ran up next to my leg.
"Miss Tron I think we found the bridge. But #13 says that I'm too stupid to know what the bridge would look like." #15 complained.
"But, you all are still like little children." I growled under my breath.
"15, lead us to the bridge." I then ordered, loudly.
"Yes Miss mom…da, I mean Tron!" #15 said snapping of a salute after he corrected his mistake.
Following #15 I started to mutter to myself. "yes, I'm a mother…a mother to forty robotic children who'll never grow up…a sixteen year-old mother, with no hope of ever escaping." I whined to myself feeling suddenly depressed and like crying .[what is it with me and self pity recently]
Once I stepped through the door to the bridge I could hear the servbots whispering behind me. "hay, was Miss Tron crying?"
"no she wasn't!"
"but I saw tears."
"oh, shut it!" they said back and forth. I then put on a excited face both to encourage the servbots and because I was truly impressed at what I found. The controls to Glyde's ship were not only unguarded but also didn't have any security system to speak of. Just to make things even the better I could see out from the bridge and I could see a large force of police suppressing most of Glyde and Leon's forces.
"Miss Tron, Miss Tron! The King Glydon has currently six missile launchers and one super mortar and one thing called the super Glyde buster." A servbot reported.
"Alright! Now let's set the Missiles on a twenty minute timer and then we'll follow that up by setting up a security system that will cause the King Glydon to self destruct if someone tries to stop the missiles." I ordered.
"But Miss Tron, we can't get even close to Leon's ship before the missiles start shooting." A servbot stated.
"Hmm, why's that?" I asked.
"Well even if we run strait at his ship it'll take us about sixteen minutes to get onboard it." The servbot answered, I think it was #2.
"Alright we just need to find a ride." I replied, looking out the window and noticing one of Teisel's robots right outside.
"Well I guess we'll just have to take the Fuhrer." I retorted with a sly smile on my face.
[ ah, Teisel wont mind if I take one of his robots, I mean desperate times…]
*****
The Fuhrer was very similar to Teisel's old robot the Blitzkrieg it had the same body shape with the round beak-like thing in the middle of it's roundish body two red eyes on top, and number of wheels forming a sort of tail. Otherwise the robot was different; it had two large wing-arms on the side, a pair of small laser cannon arms for tracking pulse lasers, and some small gun batteries on the joint between the wings and body. The Fuhrer, like the Blitzkrieg, was meant to be a battle command unit, was able to burrow through soft soil, though there was none here, and it was also painted green in Teisel's honor.
Now, though, the robot was under my control. I had a simple enough plan for the Fuhrer, I was going to drive it through the maze of crates in-between the King Glydon and the Watching Colossus, and then board the Colossus. I drove through the maze quickly, flipping switches to cause the remaining robots to focus on Leon's ship as I approached.
[hmm, I must be getting my sanity back, I haven't heard from any of those voices in my head for a while.]
I thought as the Fuhrer entered into a large semi-clear aria in the middle of the maze of crates. Standing in the middle of this clearing was Megaman.
"hay, Miss Tron look it's the Blue Boy, it looks like he's lost or something." On of the servbots beside the Fuhrer said.
[what…what is he doing hear? I better give him a chance to go away. …what he is an ambreant! He must be eliminated for the security of this system…alright I've decided I'm going to tell him off.] I quickly thought and debated between myself and the robotic voice in my head. I quickly rolled the Fuhrer forward to approach Megaman. Megaman was quick to turn and face me, looking handsome and ready to battle.
"Hay you this isn't your fight get out of here! Listen I am giving you one chance, now go!" I rudely said through the speakers.
Megaman took a look of surprise. "T-Tron is that you?" Megaman asked, sounding surprised. "Of course it is me! Who were you expecting?" I asked starting to feel insulted.
"ummm, I was kind'a expecting Teisel….because well you know…." Megaman stammered.
"WHAT!? AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH OR SOMETHING!" I yelled at him.
"Well no it just…" he continued to stammer.
"THAT'S IT! I GAVE YOU A CHANCE BUT YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT! YOUR GOING DOWN, YOU INSULTING BRAT!" I yelled, now moving the Fuhrer forward to attack. In retrospect, I should not have taken so much insult for what Megaman said
Megaman aimed his buster gun and began firing but the Fuhrer was fast to move and only one of the servbots was hit by his barrage. I then placed the Fuhrer to Megaman's right and began shooting small bombs out of the Fuhrer's small beak-like mouth. Megaman was quick to dodge though, and was soon returning fire and charging with an energy sword weapon on his left hand.
"Miss Tron!" one of the Servbots screamed just before I used the Fuhrer's powerful wings to lift the robot over Megaman's head and to safety on the other side of the battlefield.
I then turned the Fuhrer around and began to open fire with the plasma cannons in the Fuhrer's arms, sending great green energy bolts flying to Megaman. Megaman ran to the side doing a dodge roll to evade the first of the two blasts but, unfortunately for him just to be struck by the second as he ended his roll. Megaman was knocked off his feet and I took his moment of immobility to lift the Fuhrer over the top of the crates to the other and to land near a group of wooden crates I could use as weapons with the Fuhrer's large wing arms.
"Hold him!" I commanded the servbots, who then charged at Megaman but were far too easily beat back by a combination of his buster gun, the energy sword on his left arm, and a few tough kicks. Still, the servbots did manage to distract him long enough for me to through the crates at Megaman. The first crate nearly hit him, and most of the following crates missed as well, but a few when they hit the ground shattering into peaces did manage to hit him with debris. I then, seeing that my crate based attack was failing re-entered the battlefield and opened up with a barrage of buster bullets from the Fuhrer's wings.
Megaman simply dodged the Buster Bullets easily, though, and was quick to return fire. I then tried to use the Fuhrer's speed to defeat Megaman, rolling it as close as possible in a attempt to run him down, but he rolled to the side just before I could hit him time and again. Megaman continued to fire his buster gun at the Fuhrer the whole time and by now a few alarms were going off, inside the large robot.
"take this!" I yelled at Megaman, having the Fuhrer take off again.
"Attack!" I ordered the servbots. The servbots charged at Megaman, shooting and throwing bombs to no avail. The servbot's attack might have been futile but at least it distracted Megaman.
I flew overhead having the Fuhrer launch its impressive missile array and drop bombs at Megaman. I thought I had him as well, but at the last moment the servbots charged Megaman forcing him to take a back roll to escape, and instead of hitting Megaman the numerous bombs I used hit the poor servbots.
"uugh!" I growled, landing the Fuhrer to face Megaman again. Megaman and I stopped fighting, he watching the Fuhrer for a sign to attack, and I just looking at that strangely familiar expression on his face.
"Now!" I yelled to myself, pushing the control sticks in the Fuhrer forward in a final attempt to run Megaman over, while I also commanded the Fuhrer's weapons to fully open up upon Megaman. The Fuhrer began to roll forward when it suddenly stopped, at first I thought something turned it off accidentally, but then the failure alarms went off and the robot started to jerk uncontrollably. Quickly realizing that the robot was on the verge of explosion I pulled the eject lever on my ejector seat, but nothing happened, this was a complete failure that would require that I manually escape. So as the robot jerked uncontrollably from side to side, on the verge of explosion, I attempted to climb out of the hatch that I entered through on the robot's top.
Once I got the hatch open I began my attempt to climb out, out side the robot the whole world felt like it was spinning, making my feel a little sick. Suddenly as I was half out of the robot it exploded, sending me flying.
"aaaaww!" I screamed as I went through the air, until I hit something.
"Ouch." I whined sitting up from where I landed.
"Miss Tron, are you OK?" a servbot asked innocently as he ran up to check on me.
"yes…no thanks to any of you!" I grouchily replied.
"We tried, we tried really heard but he was too tough." The servbots answered. I looked around not seeing Megaman anywhere.
"What happened to Megaman?" I asked, reaching down to rub my sore rump.
"umm Miss Tr…" one of the servbots began.
"Excuse me Tron, but could you please get off me?" Megaman's voice sounding almost embarrassed suddenly broke out from below me.
"hugh?!?" I gasped looking down to find that I was indeed sitting on Megaman's chest.
"errrrr" I growled. "This is all your fault! If you hadn't of been here I would still have the Fuhrer right now! Teisel's going to be so mad at me! I told you this isn't your fight! Why wont you leave me alone!?!" I shouted at Megaman, who in turn looked both surprised and shocked.
"ummm, Miss Tron, I think it is time we…." One of the servbots began to say but I cut him off.
"and you! You're all useless! I tell you to do something but you never do it right! You always screw things up for me! Well you know what! I quit, I quit, I quit! I don't care what you do now, take orders from him for all I care!" I yelled pointing at Megaman. "But I am going to go do what I came here to do!" I yelled standing up and beginning to storm off.
"Miss Tron." One of the servbots said sounding as though he were on the verge of tears.
"leave me alone!" I shouted in rage at the servbot, not even bothering to turn and face him. I began to quickly storm away hearing the servbot begin to talk behind me, one of them crying.
"What do we do now?" one asked.
"umm, I don't know….who do you think should be in charge?" another replied.
"well Miss Tron said that he should be in charge…alright Mr. Megaman what do you want us to do?" one of the servbots asked Megaman, now starting to sound more distant.
"Me? Ummm, I don't really think that I should…." Megaman was beginning to say as they were drowned out by background noise of explosions, robots, and mechanical humming.
*****
As I neared the "Watching Colossus", I fought to keep thoughts the servbots and Megaman from popping up in my mind.
[ if the servbots had just fought harder I wouldn't have gotten angry, I wouldn't have yelled at them.] I thought as I climbed over a large pile of boxes.
[ it's all Megaman's fault, if he hadn't of shown up I would've been here sooner. Yea it's all his fault for that…and I'll make him pay after I'm through torturing Leon for what he did.] I decided as Glyde's ship in the distance behind me started letting loose a huge volley of missiles, soon to be followed by many more.
[when I get my hands on Leon….why he'll wish…he'll wish he never set eyes on my mommy.] I angrily thought. I eventually neared one of the few entrances to Leon's ship. It was just behind a large wall of crates and boxes that I would have to climb. I began climbing thinking of all the things I could do to Leon.
[ I'll get a big stick and hit him until he's black and blue all over…nah, that's too brutish besides he's probably stronger than I am…I know I could strap him to a bunch of Bonne bombs and….wait, to do that I would need Bonne bombs and only the servbots have them. and I left the servbots with Megaman, oohhhggg, why does he get to me sooo!?....oh, here is a thought I could take Leon all the way to that room and have Leon grab that device just like that voice had me do.] I thought insidiously, smiling at the thought of seeing Leon go through that pain.
[sorry Tron unit, such an action is prohibited.] the extra voice in my head suddenly protested.
"errr, don't you ever leave me alone?" I protested.
"what am I going crazy? Voices in my head…nightmares that never end…strange feelings for guys who blow up all the stuff I worked so hard to build…and I still can't remember what it is that happened on Kattelox or saul kada, or Manda island." I laughed in a nervous tone.
[your not malfunctioning Tron, currently you are suffering from slight fragmentation which is hampering your processing abilities whenever you address this Megaman Trigger. Also my presence is a normal function of the reprogramming process caused by your contact with Mistress Kara's carbon predestination device.] the voice calmly stated.
"so I'm just being brainwashed by a little crazy voice in my head…that is sooo great." I said sarcastically. I finally reached the top of the wall of crates and began my quick decent. I didn't see any guards around the door which was lucky for me because at this time I would not have been able to take any of them on in a fight. I reached the bottom of the wall-like hill and began rushing towards the door. Suddenly a pair of red eyes glowed from inside the door and a pair of Gorubeshu reaverbots approached, their white box shields a frightening reminder that they were too powerful for me to defeat.
The two reaverbots soon closed in on me, I was too frightened to even run away at this time. Before the reaverbots began shooting me with their buster guns, they suddenly stopped. I looked at them cautiously wondering why I was not yet dead.
"I did agree to preserve you and your …family, if you agreed to use the device as I wished you to. Though you did not complete the process as intended you have preceded with the first vital steps and now you are too valuable for me to allow any of these lesser machines destroy you." the great voice suddenly emitted from the reaverbots. I scowled at the machines.
"well get out of my way. This might not have to involve scum like you, but Leon owes me for the things he tried to do and I am going to take it out'a his hide!" I replied bitterly to the robot.
"if that is what it takes to preserve your value." The voice, still unchanging replied to me.
"hmph!" I snorted, raising my chin and proudly walking past the reaverbots.
"but if you must take this action, it would be best if I inform you that a pair of ambreant units are currently inside of this vessel and one escorted by a small force of primitive robots also comes. I shall infiltrate this one's force and eventually eliminate it, due to its powerful nature and the threat it poses, but I will not eliminate the other two, they you must fend off on your own." The voice informed me, still cold in it's manner. I cringed ,hearing what the voice said, as if I was in pain.
"I don't care….Leon must pay!" I growled, just in time for the lights to dim. A communicator on my wrist buzzed and I knew that it was Teisel on the other side.
"yes big Brother?" I politely and with a cheery voice asked, not wanting Teisel to know how stressed I really was.
"I found the power Tron; I'll be up there just as soon as my eyes adjust to this dim light….or if Bon can find the night vision goggles he is supposed to have." Teisel informed me. A large explosion form one of the missiles from Glyde's ship erupted nearby.
"Tron…what was that!?" Teisel asked loudly.
"ohhh, nothing." I replied with a big smile on my face. sure smiles don't travel through radios or cell phones but it felt like the best way to somehow reassure Teisel.
"you take all the time you want….everything is fine, I swear." I finished, quickly turning off the communicator. My face then returned to the scowl it was before and I stormed into Leon's ship.
