[Guts Man theme]
Rock returned back to the Light Household through his
teleportation device. He walked outside the machine and put his helmet on a
steel table nearby. Roll walked in the room as Rock was about to go recharge.
"Hi Rock, welcome home!"
Rock nodded politely as he went to grab a can of energy. Light
had supplied him them every time that he had returned back, and right now, his
power cells were nearly empty. He found the object he was searching for and drain its
contents. He felt a surge of power returning and prepared to go back on his
quest.
"Rock, wait!" Dr. Light ran towards him quickly.
"Yes what is it, Dr. Light?" Rock answered.
"I have found where one of my missing inventions is, and it
could help you."
"Where is located?"
"I am not sure, but I pinpointed the tracking device on it
somewhere near the biggest power plants, within the city's heart."
"What is the invention?"
"I am not sure, as many of my collaborated inventions were
stolen when Albert had turned rogue. But right now, that is not important.
Rock, you have to get to the local mountains. Wily has
expanded to the outer region outside of Monstropolis. He's heading for Tokyo."
Rock stared at Dr. Light shock. If Wily took over Japan's capital, the rest of Japan would have to surrender in fear of invasion.
"Before you go Rock, I will need to equip you with some
tools."
Dr. Light directed Rock to the storage room. In the nearly
empty room, Dr Light handed him some tools off a shelf.
"If you're going to mountains, you will need treads on your
boots to grip onto the steep and loose soil. I also have created a small belt
packed of energy cans if you get stranded up there and need to refuel." Dr
Light screwed and bolted on the spiky treads on Mega Man's boots with a machine
and handed him his portable ration kit.
"I will send you the nearest mountain, so you'll have to
trek until you can find one of the debris removal conveyors will be. If you can
trail where the conveyor is from, you will find Guts Man."
Rock walked up to the teleportation machine, and warped out
to his destination. After his particles reformed on the mountain, Mega Man
climbed up the mountain.
For nearly endless hours, he had ascended. His energy was
draining each time he kept going and several times he had to refuel, but he was
getting tired. Was there an end to this journey?
Finally, Mega Man climbed to the very top of the mountain
and looked over the horizon. He used his super powerful scopes in his eyes to
scout out what was ahead. Through the thick fog, he could see the conveyor
coming out of the blanket of white. Mega Man slid on the slope of the top and
gently landed on the cliff where the conveyor was. When one of the debris
filled containers on the conveyor belt came close, Rock jumped and landed in
the pile. Just when he was about to rest, the container suddenly flipped out
its contents into the dark valley below. Mega Man jumped up in the air just in
time and landed on another container. He kept jumping from container from
container to the other mountain cliff. His boots patted into the ground and
Rock kept moving.
On the plateau, he met more of those stationary sentry guns: the Mets,
that he encountered in Orb City. The petit robots sported an oversized yellow
helmet, and fired three shots, but did not deter Mega Man's Mega Buster from
punching holes through their unprotected bellies when they fired their weaponry.
Later in his journey, a lone construction robot stood in his
way. It threw pickaxes at him that he quickly dodged, but the robot took cover
with its shield, similarly to the Snipers he had fought before, but even with
that tactic, the robot froze where it stood and Mega Man jumped down to the
side of the mountain, destroying more enemies with his trusty Mega Buster.
Finally after destroying one more of those construction bots,
Mega Man fell through another trap door, into Guts Man's cave.
[Robot Master theme]
Guts Man was huge in size, and he looked over Mega Man with
jeering eyes. The Robot Master laughed at him.
"To think I was afraid! You're nothing but a little man
playing hero! You really think you can beat me?"
"Guts Man, you do realize you can not win! Did you ever hear
of the story of David and Goliath?"
"Of course, but a small stone and you can't beat me! This is
my joint, puny rat! Besides, Wily paid me good money to get a fortress running
here and you aren't going to demolish it!"
Mega Man blasted several shots of his Mega Buster at Guts
Man, but he laughed it off.
"Jeez thanks! I needed those dents fixed!"
A massive fist smacked Mega Man in the head, so hard that it
could have removed his head. He went flying across the room and landed on his
face. Guts Man walked slowly to him, chuckling as he slammed into the ground
with one foot. The Blue Bomber shook from the quake when he got up, falling on
his back. He switched to the Ice Slasher, and froze Guts Man's left
arm stiff in the air when the giant was about to punch once more at him.
"You're giving the cold shoulder?" Mega Man rolled out of
the way just when Guts Man stomped his foot at him.
"Hold still so I can kill you!" He reached his right arm to
grab Mega Man who on his back, but couldn't reach due to his bulk.
Mega Man proceeded to freeze Guts Man's massive feet
together and jumped off.
The robot master roared in anger as he smashed through the
ice. He slammed on the ground both of his feet, creating massive quake. Mega
Man jumped up and switched to Fire Storm, unleashing its heat on Guts Man. But
the intense heat merely left Guts Man worse for wear.
"You're really pissing me off, blue boy!" Guts Man dug into
the ground with his bare hands and lifted a massive rock.
"I'm going to squish like a bug now!"
The giant tossed the
boulder, and Mega Man dodged it. Guts Man kept tossing more rocks, screaming
his frustrated taunts at him.
Mega Man switched to his final weapon, the Hyper Bomb. Guts
Man was busying ripping out a massive chunk of rock, when the Hyper Bomb had
detonated at his feet.
The rock that he was holding fell on his helmet, and the
explosion knocked him off his feet. Guts Man recovered from it and tossed another
big rock at Mega Man, but he dodged it and launched another Hyper Bomb from a
small incline. It exploded in Guts Man's face, blasting shrapnel into his eyes.
"THAT'S IT, TASTE MY SUPER ARM!"
Guts Man unleashed his primal fury, with his arms radiating with heat and activating a loud humming noise. He punched into the ground, crafting a massive stone. He lifted it with both his
big hands and threw it at the Blue Bomber. The huge stone exploded into dozens
of powerful smaller rocks, and went flying all over the air like hail. Mega Man was unable to evade the debris, buried alive. Just
when the giant laughed in his victory, a Hyper Bomb, hidden in the cloud of
dissipated dust, bounced up into his open maw.
Mega Man walked up to what was left of Guts Man. Fluid was
sprayed everywhere, and some fluid was still flowing out. His torso was blown
to shreds, and his head was in pieces all over the cavern. In what was left
him, Mega Man found one of Guts Man's arms and downloaded the Robot Master's
power from the limb.
[Power obtained, Super Arm]
Mega Man activated his device on his wrist, and teleported
out.
