The Amber Guardian
Mega Man appeared in the teleportation machine, with half of his body covered splattered black oil. He went to clean the dried liquid off his body. He began to recharge his shield.
"Rock, are you alright?" Roll started to shake with fear. The substance on Mega Man's body was the same fluid that flowed out of his wounds when he was injured covered half his body.
"This isn't my fluid, Roll,"
"Then where did that it came from?"
Roll nervously asked.
Mega Man sighed and began to speak, but hesitated. Could he tell his sister the horrible truth of his deeds? She only had the impression that the Robot Masters were not killed, but were peacefully dealt with. How could he tell her that the blood of Elec Man painted his body?
"Rock, get over here this instant! You need to see this immediately!" Dr. Light cried out.
Internally relieved, Mega Man unplugged himself and dashed deeper into the lab. He met Dr. Light and saw a large computer screen crackle with static. After one minute, the picture cleared, revealing Dr. Albert Wily. The doctor was a balding German man, who sat in a large chair.
"I must sincerely give my congratulations to you Thomas. You have created a ruthless var machine that has destroyed all your Robot Masters. Since you bested me, I openly invite Mega Man to my home. Let us see if your robot can stand up to my true blade of my genius. Auf Wiedersehen, Light."
When the recording deactivated, Dr. Light spoke to Mega Man.
"Mega Man, you need teleport to Wily's hideout now before he escapes. The coordinates of his location are already aligned on the machine."
Mega Man nodded and went through the machine. In a few moments, he reappeared in a desolate area, filled with fog. The robot scanned the area, looking for any traps. He checked if there was any communication signal for him to contact Dr. Light. There was none, and there was no way to teleport back home.
"So this is place huh?" Mega Man looked over the horizon on where Wily was hiding at, a massive castle. The castle was apparently found in a very remote island outside of the city, 100 kilometers to be exact. Although the thick fog blanketed much of the fortress from being scanned properly with his optical scopes, the robot could see a basic idea of how the area looked. It was a flattened plain straight to the castle. It looked simple enough, but Mega Man knew how cunning Wily was from taking Monstertropolis with the Robot Masters. According to Doctor Light, if Wily had known if his mind control scheme had failed, there was a good chance that he also had a personal army of robots around.
Mega Man charged up his Mega Buster.
"Alright, let's go!"
In a flash, Mega Man went running across the plain. Suddenly, a Big Eye, a jumping robot designed for crushing debris, appeared out the fog. Unwilling to deal with its annoying nature, he froze it with the Ice Slasher and kept moving. Entering the fortress, he was met by torrents of flame that he encountered in Fire Man's former domain. He switched to the Magnet Beam and scaled above the obstacles. More groups of enemies kept appearing as Mega Man ascended, but they couldn't stand a chance against the Blue Bomber. The trines of Fleas were electrocuted, and he quickly crossed treacherous paths full of spiked pits. Finally, he found an open entrance to a large room at the top of the building.
[Wily Fortress Boss Theme]
With reckless abandon, he ran into the room.
"Wily, come out!" Mega Man shouted. There was only dead silence in return. The robot switched out the Fire Storm with his Buster. Where was Wily anyway? He walked deeper into the dark room, turning on his night vision on his helm. Mega Man suddenly heard a monstrous, monotone voice echo through the room.
"Bumo."
Mega Man turned around slowly, readying his weaponry. The voice spoke again, but even louder.
"What the hell?" He noticed something where about the yellow floor. It was sifting like sand with his every step. Suddenly, the whole floor started to roll up. Mega Man tried to get free, but the floor was like quicksand. He couldn't escape. Soon, the mysterious floor substance consumed him in a matter of seconds. However, a chunk of the thing was frozen, allowing the captive inside to burst his way out.
Before Mega Man could recover, the sand like substance formed into a bright yellow orb. Muscular limbs were formed out of the unknown mass and an eye appeared in the centre of the newly reformed creature. The eye was bright red, and glowed eerily. The creature kept on chanting Bumo over and over again.
"Oh crap!" Mega Man screamed. The creature roared its singular word and slammed its arms above the 10 times smaller robot.
Thankfully, Mega Man dodged the attack, and countered with shots from his Buster, but they had no effect on the yellow gargantuan. The shots were simply absorbed into the creature's body. Mega Man unleashed a burst of flame, in an attempt to set alit the monstrosity. But the creature seemingly healed its burned surface. Suddenly, the giant grabbed the super robot off the ground, and squeezed him slowly. Mega Man felt extreme pressure on his torso and at any moment, his body would be crushed just easily as like aluminum.
In desperation, the Blue Bomber began freezing the crushing arm with the Ice Slasher. It was quite effective, as the mighty giant roared in pain. Soon, the whole Yellow Devil was frozen stiff. Mega Man slid down the icy construct he formed. He selected the Hyper Bomb, and threw it at the frozen giant. The resulting explosion rained small bits of the giant robot. Mega Man sighed in relief. But before he could celebrate his victory, the millions of bits that scattered the room reformed back into its original form.
The Yellow Devil suddenly closed its eye, and turned into a massive ball, and large chunks flew towards Mega Man. The smaller robot dodged the fasting moving projectiles, and soon the whole robot reformed behind him, and fired a shot from its eye. The pattern continued two more times, exhausting more of Mega Man's energy level. How would he defeat this being? Rock looked over his available weapon options. There was no massive debris for him to use with Super Arm, the Rolling Cutter would not even damage the goliath, which left the option of the Thunder Beam. Mega Man dodged another attack from the Yellow Devil. But where were his shots to be aimed?
Looking at how the beast attacked, he saw the eye of the Yellow Devil. It only opened up to fire a laser. Maybe the weak spot of the monster was the orb itself!
The Yellow Devil's eye opened up for attack, allowing a Thunder Beam shot to zap the metal organ. It let out a pained roar as it dismantled itself to attack in its pattern. Mega Man's attacks continued wearing down on the mighty robot and slowly the Yellow Devil's defenses were chipped away.
In desperation from the robotic giant, it tried to slam Mega Man off from finishing it off, but Rock's determination overwhelmed it, and he fired the last Thunder Beam shot into the Yellow Devil's Achilles' heel.
"BUMO!" The Yellow Devil cried out as its eye dissipated into dozens of particles. Soon enough, the whole body turned into grains of artificial sand. Mega Man activated his portable teleportation device and warped out of the tower.
