Chapter 8: Game Master Arc: Rock and Roll, Part 2

"All right, now..." Rockman said "I don't like brawls, so let's decide who'll fight who."

"Now that's a surprise... A villain with rules..." Venus muttered.

"There's ten of them and ten of us, so it's pretty clear..." Suiko noted. "I'll get Fireman."

"Let's try to fight the ones that are the weakest against our attacks." Kongo said. "I'll get Metalman."

"Topman." Korin said.

"I'll get Rockman as planned." Mercury said.

"And I'll fight Breakman." Saturn noted in a monotone.

"I'll burn Iceman to a water puddle." Mars muttered.

"Shadowman's mine." Venus said.

"Well, then I'll beat Elecman... I don't care about getting zapped." Jupiter commented with a grin.

"That leaves Starman and Woodman..." Rekka noted "I'll get the woody."

"Okay, then I'll get Starman." Tenku said.

"Everyone okay with that?" Rockman asked. The other robots nodded "Okay then... Go!"

Suiko's first plan was to use his trident to beat Fireman. But the fiery robot was good at dodging and had a hell of an attack, literally. "This was way easier in the games..." He muttered as he dodged a fire blast. "Super Wave Smasher!" The attack was easily dodged by Fireman, who responded with another fire blast. Suiko leapt out of the way and tried to think on a better strategy.

Kongo dodged one of Metalman's projectile saws and tackled the robot to the ground. He then produced his sword and tried to slash at his foe. Metalman rolled out of the way and sent another saw flying at Kongo at point blank range Kongo managed to block the saw with his sword, and it bounced back nearly missing the robot's head. Kongo backflipped and waited for his rival's next move.

"Thunderbolt Cut!"

Topman spun out of the way of the attack and chuckled.

"Thunderbolt Cut!"

Topman once again dodged the attack.

"Thunderbolt Cut!"

Topman dodged a third time and shrugged "So, are you gonna fight for real or what?"

"You asked for it..." Korin muttered and charged at the robot...

"Gemini Laser!"

Mercury dodged the twin beams, but one of them nicked her in the leg. "Darn..."

"You know, for being the strongest Senshi, you're quite pathetic." Rockman commented.

"Oh shut up..." Mercury muttered and tried a drop kick at the blue robot.

Rockman slid out of the way, and chuckled as Mercury fell on her butt "So much for your martial art skills..."

"Never said I had any..." Mercury muttered and stood up.

"Burning Soul!"

Iceman rapidly threw an ice beam blocking the attack "Gee, tune it down, hothead."

"Make me, ice-for-brains." Mars snapped.

"Oh a sarcastic one are you?" Iceman muttered and sent a giant snow ball at Mars.

Mars rolled out of the way and stood up "Okay, I got tired of playing... Let's get started!" She shouted and leapt-kicked at the robot.

Jupiter and Elecman were even, both with their powers and with their fighting skills. Both were right now trying to punch each other out, but with little success. "Jupiter Lightning Tackle!" Elecman barely missed the attack and sent an electric blast ramming on Jupiter's back. She fell to the ground and winced as she stood up. "All right... Round two..." She muttered and charged up for another attack.

"V Laser-Strike!" Shadowman leapt out of the way of Venus' attack and sent a couple of his shuriken flying at her. Venus cartwheeled out of the way and frowned "This guy's annoying."

"Tired?" Shadowman asked.

"You wish." Venus muttered and charged at the black-clad robot...

"Arrow Shockwave!"

"Ha!" Starman leapt up and stood hovering in mid-air. "Your aiming sucks."

"Why you..." Tenku muttered.

"What the...?" Starman muttered when Tenku leapt into the air and rained his arrows at him. The Trooper of Air then came out of nowhere and kicked him down to the ground.

"Had enough?" Tenku asked as he landed. Starman stood up and glared at him, "I thought so..."

Rekka rolled out of the way as a circle of leaves hissed by his side "That's what I call a natural talent..." he muttered. "Okay big guy... You asked for it… Flare Up Now!"

Woodman leapt aside but some of the rocks that were sent flying by the attack still hit him. He fell to the ground and stood up only to be rammed into a wall by Rekka. "You sure have some power." Woodman noted. "Still it's nothing compared to mine."

"Yadda, yadda. Just fight, will ya?" Rekka muttered.

"As you wish." Woodman said and charged at him.

Saturn swung her scythe at Breakman, who jumped up and countered with a laser blast. She rapidly deflected the attack with her scythe and propelled herself upwards with it, catching the still airborne Breakman completely off-guard. Breakman fell to the ground with a thud and kicked up just in time to deflect Saturn's scythe. Breakman rolled backwards and stood up, breathing heavily "I can see you're a worthy opponent."

Saturn said nothing but swung her scythe at her foe once again.

Mercury moaned as she picked herself off the ground. Rockman was looking at her amusedly "If this is the leader, I'll have no trouble beating all of the Senshi..."

Mercury glared at the blue robot "Icycle Wind!" The attack caught Rockman completely off-guard and sent him rolling back a few feet. "Were you saying?"

Rockman stood up and grinned "Now that's more of a challenge."

"Ultra-Ballistic Thunderbolt Cut!"

Topman crushed through the wall, having been hit by the super-charged attack. "That was a nice trick... Too bad it was your last!" He said and started spinning at top speed, pun intended, towards Korin.

The Trooper of Light leapt aside but still got hit in the leg. He grunted and looked at Topman's movements. "Hmmm... If I could stop his spinning... But how..." He muttered to himself. He then grinned "I got it..." He waited until Topman was just a few meters away then released his attack.

Topman spun towards his target at high speed, but he wasn't expecting his target to act in such a weird way. The attack trapped him and he was unable to stop spinning due to the lightning that struck him.

Korin took a few steps back and, as the effect of his attack vanished, shot forwards sword-first. With a swift movement, he stabbed the falling robot through the chest. Topman exploded, causing Korin to fall on his butt several meters away. "The plan came out as I expected..." He muttered as he stood up "Except for the flying back and falling on my butt part..." He added with a sigh.

Tenku backflipped dodging a massive barrage of star-shaped blasts. The last one hit the ground a little too close to him, and sent him skipping on him back. He stood up wincing and glared at the robot floating up in the air.

"Whoa, giving up already?" Starman teased when he saw Tenku had shut his eyes. "Okay, as you wish." He shot some more star-shaped blasts at the navy-blue Trooper.

Tenku opened his eyes and glared at Starman, "Me? Giving up? Not a chance..." he retorted, his armour's power neutralizing the attacks. "Ultra-Ballistic Arrow Shock Wave!" Starman was vaporized by the powered up energy wave.

Mars dodged as a barrage of ice picks hissed by her. "You asked for it, frosty!" She shouted and charged at the robot. The two started throwing punches and kicks, but it was clear Mars was in the winning side. Iceman suddenly leapt back and started gathering ice forming a massive ice pick.

"Oh no, you won't..." Mars muttered. " Flame Spear!" She summoned her spear, but instead of tossing it, used it to stab through Iceman. The robot exploded and Mars went rolling on the ground. She moaned and looked around as her suit went back to normal. "Next time I'll just toss the damn spear as usual..." She muttered and leaned on a wall.

"Super Wave Smasher!" Suiko's attack was blasted away by a barrage of fireballs. "Okay, so long range attacks ain't working either..." He muttered. He leapt at Fireman spear-first, but got blasted back by him. "Ouch..."

"You're pathetic..."

"I'd show you the true meaning of pathetic, but I don't have a mirror right now." Suiko snapped and stood up.

Fireman frowned and shot another fire blast...

Suiko leapt back as a wall of flames formed where he had been standing. "Gee... Is it hot in here or it's just me?"

Just then, Rekka came crashing to the ground. he stood up quickly and moaned "Gee, that Woodman guy sure can hit..."

Suiko looked at him, "Hmmm... This gives me an idea..."

"What? You have a plan?" Rekka asked.

Suiko nodded "We have Fireman here, and then there's this Woodman guy... I guess you can figure it out..."

"Neat plan." Rekka whistled. "Guess having a genius girlfriend has its perks."

Fireman started shooting fire blast at Rekka, who dodged. Suiko meanwhile tried to drag Woodman near.

"Stand still so I can blast you!" Woodman muttered.

Rekka grinned and stood in between Fireman and Woodman. Fireman shot a blast at him, and he dodged. The attack hit Woodman dead on and vaporized him.

"What the...?" Fireman muttered.

"Missed me." Rekka said. "By the way, you should watch your back... "

"What do you...?"

"Ultra-Ballistic Super Wave Smasher!"

Suiko sighed as the attack turned Fireman into dust and then noticed Mercury fighting Rockman, or rather dodging while Rockman used her as a practice target. "I'll be back in a second." He commented then walked in the direction of that battle.

"Light Chain!" Venus used her chain to try and wrap Shadowman but he slid out of the way. "He's fast, no kidding." The light Senshi muttered.

"Need some help?" Korin asked, walking towards her.

"The more, the merrier."

"Okay, this guy should be highly weakened by a light spell..." Korin noted. "Get ready to shoot at him. Thunderbolt Cut!"

The robot instinctively leapt up to dodge the charge and try to attack, and noticed a little too late that Venus' hand was aiming up straight at him. "Light Sphere!"

Shadowman yelled in pain as a ball of light surrounded him. Venus didn't waste a second and summoned her attack "Venus Morning Star Smash!" The star-shaped light beam shot through the robot's body, causing it to explode in mid-air.

Jupiter dodged an electric blast and winced. The robot was a bit tougher than she had first thought. Especially since he was now forcing her to stay away from it by sending blast after blast at her. She leapt aside then noticed Kongo was fighting Metalman nearby. "They say I'm only good at brawling... I'll show them." Jupiter muttered and run towards Metalman.

Kongo was charging up for an attack, but stopped as he saw Jupiter coming towards his enemy. He then noted who was chasing Jupiter and grinned "She's got a plan..."

"Elec Beam!" Elecman sent an attack barrelling at Jupiter, but the Senshi dropped to the ground, and the attack hissed over her head and straight at Metalman.

"Iron Rock Crusher!" The attack sent Elecman ramming into Metalman. "Now Jupiter!" Kongo shouted and readied his sword to fire again..

Jupiter nodded and charged at the two stunned robots, "Thunder Punch!" She punched both robots with her attack and sent them ramming into a wall.

"Iron Rock Crusher!" Both robots vanished and Kongo grinned. He turned to Jupiter and nodded "Good thinking, Litana."

Mercury dodged a laser blast and then leapt up barely missing a second one. Rockman grinned and sent a third blast right at her. His grin vanished, however, as a trident sliced through the attack, deflecting it.

"Hey Rock, why don't you try fighting someone with actual fighting skills?" Suiko teased standing in between him and Mercury. That got him a glare from his female counterpart.

"Hmm... Why not?" Rockman shrugged and charged up for his Rock Buster attack.

"Ice Blast!"

Rockman was taken off-guard by the attack as the ice ball froze his arms and legs. The blue robot fell on his knees and gasped for air.

"You should leave and never come back." Mercury suggested. "I won't kill you, I'm no murderer..."

"Good for you..." Rockman muttered "But if I go back, Game Master's gonna kill me anyhow..."

"Game Master?" Suiko asked.

Suddenly, a figure materialized in front of them. He looked like a normal teenager, except for his suit. He was wearing a dark blue outfit complete with a VR helmet covering most of his head, VR gloves and VR boots. He looked at Rockman and shrugged "You've failed miserably." The figure sent a massive energy blast at Rockman, vaporizing him. He then turned to Moon and Zero. "You Senshi have been quite a bother... But it's just a matter of time before I beat you all." With that, he vanished.

Mercury blinked twice then muttered, "What was that?"

Suiko shrugged, "The almighty boss-of-the-week, I suppose..."

The rest of the Senshi came walking towards them. "So once again, the Senshi team saves the day." Mars noted.
