Megaman Reimagined: The Hero With The Heart Of Steel

by Protagonist7

A reimagining of the classic MegaMan. Kind of like a combination of Eddie Lebron's movie and Iron Man. In the near future, a brilliant scientist and industrialist, Dr. Light, has invented robots made to change the world, but when they are used for evil, he must send his son to stop them...

20. Of steel and guts

MegaMan and Lan arrived at the mine. There was a small pile of burned dead bodies at the entrance. MegaMan looked at it. There were 5 dead men in total.

"My God…." said MegaMan

"I wonder if the rest of them got out" said Lan.

They kept moving forward. A robot popped out-a metool, a robotic 'head' with a hard hat carried by treads or feet. It had a LR-PM mounted on it (Long Range-Plasma Miner). It looked to MegaMan, and fired a bolt of plasma at him. MegaMan was knocked to the ground as a result. Lan grabbed his SMG, and fired at the Metool. The metool exploded instantly.

Lan helped Rock back up. MegaMan said "Thanks, Lan."

…meanwhile…

Gutsman had caught the 2 on security camera. "Hm. They've arrived. Alright, turn on the crusher."

Lan and MegaMan walked down the path into the mine's entrance. Eventually, they came across a giant orange grate. Below the grate was a giant grinder machine. Lan walked onto it, when the gate fell.

MegaMan managed to catch Lan's arm, and pull him back up.

"So much for that" said Lan, catching his breath.

"Maybe not" said MegaMan, who caught a glimpse of a machine that carried rocks into the grinder machine. "Maybe we can hitch a ride on that. I'll go first, and then deactivate the machine for you"

It was the only option. MegaMan jumped onto the machine, and tried to maintain a balance in the cart. Suddenly, the trap door at the bottom opened up. By some miracle, he landed in another cart. MegaMan jumped to another cart passing nearby. This one was filled with coal. He tried jumping into the next one, but missed. He managed to catch the cable. He began climbing over to the end, when he saw another cart coming. If it ran over his hand, that'd be bad news. He charged a shot, and blew the cart to bits.

Eventually, he landed inside the mine. He reached for the controls, looking for a way to get Lan back here. He found them, and pressed the button to put another grate over the machine.

And then someone punched MegaMan square in the noggin. It was GutsMan.

"So, you thought you could sell us out, MegaMan?" said GutsMan.

"I don't want to hurt you" said MegaMan.

"Shut up. One of us is going to die, and I'll be damned if it's me." GutsMan tried to stomp MegaMan's head, but MegaMan rolled out of the way, and fired an ice blade at GutsMan. It didn't pierce his armor. MegaMan got up, and jumped out of the way. GutsMan charged towards him, and tried to punch a hole in him.

MegaMan jumped to the side of the punch, and used the Ice beam to freeze GutsMan's foot to the floor before putting a bomb nearby and running to cover. The bomb exploded near GutsMan, blowing him to bits.

Suddenly, Lan arrived. He said "Did I miss anything?"

MegaMan said "You have no idea."
