Disclaimer I do not own megaman.

Forte walked through the forest, still angry at his most recent defeat at the hands of Rock. Why couldn't he defeat him?

"You're Forte, Right?" He heard a voice behind him ask. He turned around to see a peculiar android in a grey jumpsuit, red gloves, boots, and helmet with a pitch black visor, with a white and red shield strapped on his back.

"Wait a minute…" Forte mumbled. "I know you…"

"Am I right?" The mysterious android asked again.

Recognition dawned on Forte. "The old man's archives, you're that blue twerp's brother!" Forte shouted as he aimed his arm canon at Blues.

"So I am right." Blues stated with a smirk.

"What the hell do you want? To protect your little brother?"

"Rock can take care of himself." Blues replied. "I just want to talk."

"About what?" Forte asked without dropping his guard.

"Why do you hate Rock?" Blues asked simply.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what is the real reason you hate him so much? I know you have some semblance of honor, and you're not the type to hate someone just because he is on the other side of the conflict." Blues elaborated.

"What do you think you know of me?" Forte growled.

"Quite a lot, actually. You see, I've been watching you for a while now, and I must say you intrigue me. I, do know the real reason you hate him so much, do you?

"I hate him because he is my enemy!" Forte shouted.

"Now now, didn't I just say I know you better than that? What's the real reason?"

"You seem to think you know so much, why don't you tell me?"

"No, I think I'm going to make you guess. Come on, is it because he's better?"

"I told y-"

"Or is it because he holds a mirror to your eyes, and you don't like what you see?" Blues cut him off.

"W-what?" Forte stuttered.

"Is it because he revealed to you the life that your life is? Is that it?" Blues continued.

Shut up!" Forte shouted as he shot at Blues, who easily sidestepped the shot. With a roar, Forte ignited the thrusters in his feet and launched himself towards Blues. Again, Blues merely stepped to the side to dodge the flying punch.

Turning off his thrusters, Forte kicked his right foot forward into the ground, and kicked backwards with the other, to which Blues rolled forward to dodge the blow. Following his momentum, Forte spun around and sent another shot flying, causing Blues to duck under the projectile. Seeing that his opponent was too close to the ground to prepare any true defense, Forte leapt at him and struck out with a downward hook, only to get his fist stuck in the ground when Blues rolled to the side.

"Jeez Forte. My visor is currently at a dark enough setting to block out the sun itself. I haven't used my eyes once during this entire fight." Blues taunted.

With a growl, Forte ripped his arm out of the ground, and pointed it point-blank at Blues' head. "Dodge this…" Forte forced out of gritted teeth.

"Nope." Blues replied with a smirk. Instead, he quickly knocked the blaster away from his head, spun a complete circuit while pulling of his shield, and crashed it into the side of Forte's head, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Now listen." Blues instructed. "You can never defeat me, or Rock as you are now. Think about that."

That was the last thing he heard before he blacked out.

SNAP!

Forte was forced out of his contemplations as he the sound of a twig breaking in the direction of the wood that surrounded the broken down old skull shaped fortress. He stood atop a tall support beam near the east wing of the building. Forte looked in the direction of the noise, and found Roll coming out of the woods. She searched around for a moment before looking up and spotting him.

"Hey Forte!" She called with a wave.

Forte sighed, again wondering why he had given his location to this cheerful girl. No, Forte realized, not a girl. When she was created, her body and mind were designed to be at ten, if Wily's archives were correct. She was at least eight-teen by know. Somehow she just managed to keep a youthful exuberance. Silencing his own thoughts, he leapt down to meet her.

"Hm," Thomas Light mused as he examined the body of the massive android Blues and Rock had brought in the previous day.

"It's amazing." Albert Wily commented from the other side of the examination table. "I have never seen anything this complex in my life."

"I have." Thomas said grimly. He turned and walked over to his computer. He searched through files until coming across one called simply 'X-form'. He opened it, and went through nearly sixty password screens. Nearly ten minutes later, he opened a file with a very complex schematic in it.

"Oh my…" Albert whispered, "Is that…"

"Yes. That is X." Thomas answered.

Albert chuckled. "You always were the better roboticist."

"We both know that's not true. I make things, but you make them better." Thomas chuckled before going back to a more serious tone. "Skill aside, these two schematics are strikingly similar."

"What?" Wily asked as he double-checked Axeman's layout. It was true, except for a few modifications to accommodate size and fighting style, they were the same. "Who ever built this robot has access to your technology."

"Now let's not jump to conclusions. It could just be coincidence."

Albert looked up at Thomas. "Neither of us believes in coincidences."

"Then other than time travel, I can think of no other answer! And that's impossible!"

"What are you talking about? Of course time travel is possible, I've done it before, remember? Besides I'm sure there are more plausible answers."

"It was a figure of speech, but that's not the point. Whoever built this one most likely built more, and if they're all as powerful as X…" He let the statement hang in the air.

"We need help." Albert stated.

"We also need to prepare." Thomas added. "Rock?" He called over the intercom.

"Yeah?" Rock answered.

"Do you know where Roll is?" He asked. He planned to know where everyone was in case of another attack.

"No, she told me she was going out earlier."

"Well could you find her? We might have problems soon."

"What kind?" Rock asked.

CB: All right, Chapter 5. Now, when I was looking back through my chapters to see If I had made any mistakes, I came across something. I think some of the things I said during the comments portion may have made some people angry. When I told people that I had things under control, I meant it to mean that I was taking their reviews into consideration. I still want people to point out mistakes and concerns, I mean, this is going to be a long story, (Currently I think it's going to be 50+ chapters) So I know I'm going to slip up somewhere. If I have been a jerk to anyone, I sincerely apologize. Please read and review and tell me what you think so far. (Also, tell me if you want me to bring back the short segments with myself and the other voices.)
