MegaMan Reimagined IceMan

MegaMan stared out over the icy Alaskan desert. This was the Alaskan oil mines where IceMan used to work.

Suddenly, a robotic penguin missile…thing flew towards MegaMan. Megamn jumped out of the way. It turned around and tried to charge back towards him. MegaMan shot it. He stood over the dead body. These creatures were made to drill through the ice to find oil. Now, they mine for blood. The perversion of technology disgusted MegaMan.

He walked until he saw a pool of water. It seemed to be the only way to cross, so he jumped in. He sunk quickly into the water. It was cold, but he was resistant to it. Then he realized that he had just fallen into a trap. Discs on the ground began to spin. Spikes came out of them. Gabyools. These were made to chop ice. It charged through him. He jumped up to dodge the machines. He grabbed a ladder, and then climbed his way out.

Suddenly, more penguin missiles charged him. He jumped between them. When he landed, he began to slide on the ice. Another gabyool moved towards him. Unable to stop himself from hitting it, he shot at the target. It stopped, but was not injured. Gabyools are notoriously resistant to buster fire. MegaMan slid into it, cutting himself. MegaMan got up. He charged his buster and shot at the enemy. It finally perished.

Megaman found himself faced with a cliff. He called Dr. Light.

"Fath-Doctor!" said Megaman. He couldn't refer Light as 'father' or as 'Light' out loud in enemy territory. That would give away his identity. 'Doctor' was unspecific enough.

"Yes MegaMan?" said Light.

"I'm at a cliff. Couldn't you just teleport me to enemy directly?" said MegaMan.

"No. There's a jamming station near IceMan's location. This is the closest I could get you." He said.

"Well, I can't get to the target this way. I need answers, sir." said Mega

"Calm down, MegaMan. Hmm…there must be a way Wily would get freight to his robots. Try and see if you can't find a vehicle you could hijack." said Light.

Suddenly, MegaMan felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around. It was Lan. "Lan!" MegaMan said.

Lan was wearing a grayish coat with black gloves, and earmuffs, as well. A sniper rifle was hung around his back. "I wasn't going to leave you out to dry, was I?" he said. "Look, I gathered some important intelligence here, though maybe you won't want to hear it. Wily occasionally sends some robotic platforms known as footsteps here to deliver packages. They'll be here in just a minute. Unfortunately, the only way to use that is to ride them to your destination."

MegaMan said "And I guess Wily won't let me do that, will he?"

Land laughed "No, he won't let you do that. But I got my sniper rifle here. We'll see if I can't take a few flying penguins out of the sky.

And then, the footsteps came. MegaMan jumped on one, crushing a crate that was tied to it. Suddenly, a penguin flew in his direction. MegaMan shot it down.

Another came from behind him. It exploded into steel bits as Lan shot it down. Lan was able to keep up with the penguins, due to his augmentation. But even that had limits at times, and there was no way to follow MegaMan after he finally reached the edge.

MegaMan got a call from Lan. "Alright, you're on your own now. Good luck with IceMan."

MegaMan saw the metal door. He pressed a button, and it opened up. He walked through a short hallway. Suddenly, he was there, inside the lair of IceMan.

IceMan looked at MegaMan. "Who are you?"

MegaMan said "I'm MegaMan. I was sent here to bring you back."

IceMan thought to himself "but what about Wily?"

MegaMan said "Wily is just using you. He doesn't want your freedom. Come back."

IceMan thought to himself. "Well, actually, now that I think about it…."

Suddenly, IceMan's demeanor changed entirely. "No! He's an enemy soldier! We need to defeat the enemy. You cannot surrender!"

MegaMan was confused until Iceman fired an icicle in his direction out of his hands. MegaMan dodged it, and returned fire. IceMan created a shield of ice to block the bolts of plasma. Ice Man jumped out of cover, and sprayed his icy breath at MegaMan. It froze his buster solid. MegaMan ran up and began to use his frozen buster as a club. IceMan was knocked to the ground. IceMan slid across the icy ground to create distance between him and MegaMan. MegaMan's buster had just warmed up. He fired a charged shot at IceMan, and it threw him into the wall. IceMan has stopped moving. MegaMan approached the body. Suddenly, Iceman grabbed a knife he had holstered onto his leg and then tripped MegaMan.

They finally both got up. IceMan slashed at MegaMan's neck to try and sever the power cable to his main computer there. MegaMan bent over backwards to dodge it. IceMan then tried to plunge the knife into the left side of MegaMan's head. MegaMan blocked it with his left hand. It impaled the appendage, but the move saved MegaMan's life. MegaMan's other arm formed an arm cannon, and fired into IceMan's eyeball. The enemy robot fell over, never to move again.
