CB: All right! Another chapter! This one may surprise some of you with what happens.

Feral: You know saying that only makes people expect the unexpected and makes the surprise less dramatic, right?

CB: …Crap.


The rain beat down relentlessly on the roof of the small home, and thunder cracked in the distance. Within this building, relative peace reigned. Rock and Roll slept contently on the large blue couch in front of the T.V. Blues sat on the arm of the couch, and Auto stood of to the side in stasis mode, as the title screen of the movie they had watched showed prominently on the screen.

"Rock, Blues, Roll, Auto" Thomas addressed as he walked into the room.

"Nnh" Rock and Roll groaned as the groggily opened their eyes. Blues merely turned his head towards Thomas, apparently having only been feigning sleep, while Auto just turned on immediately.

"I need you all to disengage your weapon systems temporarily."

"Okey-dokey!" Auto said in a chipper manner before his eyes went blank for a moment, then turned back on.

"Wait." Rock said "Why?'

"Please just trust me" Thomas pleaded.

Rock left a wry eye on him, but did so anyway, Roll soon following suit.

"Blues?"

Blues just nodded his head. Dr. Light, seeing that that was most of an answer he would receive, let it go at that. As if on cue, a knock sounded at the door. Hesitantly, he walked towards the door and opened it. Behind the wooden portal stood a man no taller than Dr. Light in a large brown over coat and hat that completely masked his face.

"Please, come in" Dr. Light greeted. The man in the overcoat complied, stepping out of the rain. After Dr. Light had closed the door and given the man an okay signal, he hesitantly took off his effects, revealing his white lab coat, bushy mustache, and wild hair that stuck out towards either end.

"Wily!" Rock and Roll yelped simultaneously whilst standing up. Blues didn't react in the least and Auto just whimpered.

"Please calm down!" Dr. Light pleaded.

"But that's Dr. Wily!" Rock argued.

"You can calm down Rock" Dr. Wily spoke up, "I mean no harm."

"Why are you here?" Rock demanded. "So Forte can attack from behind?"

"Now Rock, you know I have more control over that boy than you do."

"How can you be trusted? You're insane!"

Dr. Wily let out a sigh. "Rock, do you know why I tried to take over the world?"

"What?" Rock asked, surprised.

"I did it for you, Roll, Blues, and all other robots." He said.

"What are you-" Rock started before being cut off by Blues.

"Let him talk, Rock"

"Thank you Blues. Now, Rock, you know as well as I do that mankind has more than it's share of bigots. When we started the Robot Master project, we both knew mankind would not be accepting of intelligent robots. That is where we had a falling out."

"As always, Thomas was optimistic about the whole ordeal, 'Give humanity time' he said. I, on the other hand, felt that mankind would only be acceptant by force. So, on the day of my alleged 'ways of madness', I took what I needed, and left without a goodbye. Then, you, came into play, and so many opportunities came into play."

"Suddenly it was a win-win situation. If I were to win, mankind would learn tolerance by force. If you were to win, a hero would be born, and mankind would actually look up to a robot. Finally a road to tolerance would be paved, and it's worked, hasn't it?"

Rock couldn't believe it, but he could not refute his estimation. Recently robots had recently been able to work outside of factories and construction. There had been an influx of robots working in law enforcement, and similar fields.

"But,'

"Rock, listen. The way the world sees it, eight times I have been defeated by someone who looks like a ten year old boy who wears his under wear on the outside. My black-market contacts find it too embarrassing to work with me. I have no resources, no base since you last blew it up, and my face is everywhere on bounty poster, so I wouldn't be able to do anything if I wanted to." Wily explained.

"He's telling the truth Rock." Blues said.

"How do you know?" Rock asked.

"I've worked with him in the past, remember?"

"Oh, right." Rock said as he remembered their bouts in the past. "What about Forte?" He tried to hide it, but everyone could notice the sliver of hope that his rival had changed sides also.

"I haven't the slightest idea, we haven't kept in touch ever since I had to cut him off from the teleport matrix." Wily explained.

"But why are you here?" Rock asked.

"Because I asked him" Dr. Light said. "X's damage is extensive, and I need help if I am to fix him"

"What about us?" Roll asked.

"This is too complicated, and there a chance that the same malfunction would effect you too if you were to wok on him."

Suddenly a warning light and siren blared as text flashed on the screen of the computer on the back wall. "Trouble by the forest!" Auto read.


CB: I can honestly say I don't think anyone saw this coming. It would seem that Wily isn't really a madman, just a misunderstood hero who gave up everything to change the world. Please read and review and tell me how you like the plot twist! Oh, and those of you saying, but CB, how are you going to have a story without a main villain? Oh ye of little faith, that will be covered in the next chapter. For those of you thinking, why are my socks on fire? I don't know, go away.

Feral: Uh, Host?

CB: Yeah?

Feral: Anger and Hatred just got into a fight, don't know why, and they've dragged the other emotions into it.

CB: I was wondering what was causing that headache.

Feral: so what do we do?

CB: Leave them be, they'll probably stop by the next update.
