Took a day off to brainstorm (and to watch Reign Over Me) and now I'm back. Behold, Guts Man!
It was the day before Wily's arrival, and all of the Robot Masters were working to keep his castle up to keep and to not end up on guard dog duty. However, there were some bots who... didn't care.
"Alright, boys!" Guts Man shouted to who he considered his comrades in arms. "Today we merge machine and machine together! Who's with me?"
Dive Man immediately stood up.
"I am!" he stated.
"Let's do it!" Concrete Man said, standing up.
"I can go in there!" Stone Man suggested.
"Good! Let's go!" Guts Man yelled while walking out.
A few minutes later, Guts Man and his crew arrived at Wily's personal arcade collection. He was looking at the Street Fighter II cabinet.
"Junk Man!" Guts Man commanded. "Do your thing!"
"Alright, but I'm telling you, this won't go over well," Junk Man warned, before going to work on the cabinet. "Not only that, but you agreed to take the blame for anything that goes wrong. We're playing with fire as we SPEAK!" With that final word, he got the machine open.
"Okay! Stone Man, you know what to do!" Guts Man said.
"Yep!" Stone Man replied. A few seconds later, he was in it. However, before Junk Man could close the machine, everyone heard an uproar.
"Right there," Hard Man stated, "are the ones who have been breaking and entering your room, Frost Man."
"...GET OVER HERE AND LET ME WRECK YOUR SHINY METAL AS‐" Frost Man was cut off by Dive Man using Dive Missiles to ward him off.
"Run!" Dive Man yelled. "I'll cover!"
Guts Man grabbed Junk Man and Concrete Man and threw them outside the room and into the main room of Wily's Castle. Stone Man (still inside the arcade cabinet) was soon to follow.
"I'll help you make this final sta-"
"Hello, men."
Everyone (besides Junk Man, who was trying to pull himself back together) turned around to see Dr. Wily standing on the elevator.
"As you see," he continued, "I'm back from vacation. And you four have some explaining to do."
"Well," Hard Man started, "we-"
"I did it!" Guts Man suddenly shouted. "I did it all!"
"...we'll talk tomorrow, Guts Man." Wily stated. "I'm gonna get some sleep after I put Junk Man together. Hard Man, help me out!"
As Dr. Wily and Hard Man left with Junk Man's disconnected body, Guts Man simply smiled.
"A good leader always saves their men."
Wily is now part of the story, officially. Next up are the blade users. I'm not wearing pants, more at 11.
