RedDragon: Hope you're hungry for more because the action heats up here.
Sage Wolf: Alright, I brought The Dom back from the dead. I knew necromancy would be useful at some point. Anyways…
The Dom: For some reason I crave brains…Is that normal?
AssassinK: *pumps Shotgun*
Sage Wolf: Well no brains here. That's good.
RedDragon: On to the story!
Sage Wolf: At this point, if you haven't memorized the disclaimer, the good news is you're safe.
Chapter 4. The Master of Sabotage
LOCATION; Launch Pad
The St. Liberty was loaded onto the launch pad. The crew knew this was going to be their toughest mission yet. But the most worried was the blue bomber as he looked on at the fully loaded weapons bay. If one stray shot hit they would blow to kingdom come. The other robotic passenger noticed his distress and tried to calm his nerves.
"Hey Mega Man." Proto Man called to his counterpart.
"Huh? Proto, what is it?" Mega Man asked Proto Man. This seem to help with the anxiety he was currently feeling.
"You don't to worry. Well make it through safely." Replied Proto Man
"Thanks Proto, I needed that." Mega Man truly did need those words of encouragement. He had doubts but didn't want to voice them. Proto Man's small pep talk was making him feel better know. Now all he had to focus on is the mission at hand.
"Alright then you have your mission. I could only wish you the best of luck. The earth's fate is with you." The voice of General Iron spoke on the ship intercom. The instruments flashed showing take off would begin soon.
"Hold on Boys, This ride will get a little bumpy." Came the voice of the pilot from the cockpit.
"Here we go." Was Mega Man's only response.
LOCATION; Near Lunar Orbit
After the strenuous ride up the moon Mega Man and Proto Man were ready to make their jump. The crew hoped that the Lunar Fortress did not have anti-ship weaponry on hand. They did not need another head ache right now.
"Alright boy, get to your positions. We'll try to get as close to the vent as possible. To navigate use the jets on the packs and the visors with give To navigate use the jets on the packs and the visors with give you a map of the base once your inside" the pilot instructed the robotic heroes.
"Got it." The heroes said simultaneously ready to take the leap of fate towards their destination. But before they could a warning alarm sounded throughout the ship. The thought that ran through everyone's head, 'Oh shit.'
"Sir we got bogies!" called the copilot.
"Bring them on screen!" the pilot answered. The bogies were shown on the monitor. They were shaped like manta rays. Two laser cannons were mounted on the back while their fins carried two missiles. These seem to be a new type of Wily robot that left a trail similar to a rocket or jet. The new machines were quickly dubbed 'Manta Jets.'
"This just got harder." Was the pilots only answer to the situation.
LOCATION; Main Control Room
"So the Manta Jets have intercepted the fighter" said Wily to the members of the room. He smiled these bots were some of the many models that were stored on the Fortress. These fools did not know what was in for them.
"Hey Doctor, what are those things leaving the fighter?" asked the robot with the 'A' like emblem.
"Hmm" was the doctor's response to the question. The Robot Master pointed at the red and blue blurs falling towards the main server vent. Wily instantly recognized the two machines that always to derail his plan. But this time he looked on at them with a smile. For they did not know what was waiting for them when they arrive.
"So these are the two you always tell us about Doc?" said the Robot Master with the 'T' emblem as he stepped from the shadows. The main body was brown with three orange disks on the chest, the largest in the middle. The upper arms and legs were gray, as was the neck and lower face armor. The lower arms and legs were brown like the chest. The large orange 'T' on the chest was the same shape as the emblem. There were orange disks on the fore arm armor and on the knee parts. His grey eyes showed careful planning. The feet were the same hue as the eyes. The helmet was also brown. The name of this master was Trap Man the Master of Sabotage and the one in charge of the server room. "Don't worry I'll handle them for you."
"Good luck then Trap Man." Was Wily's answer.
LOCATION; Lunar Fortress Communication and Information Server Room
Due to the intense heat created by computers as the run, the Sever Room had needed a direct exhaust towards an area that the heat would escape to. Hence why It lead out to the empty cold void beyond it steal tunnel. The vent cover began to shake and was then popped out by a large red boot. The boot belonged to Proto Man as he and Mega Man jumped out of the vent and on to the floor beneath them.
"Well that was easy enough" said Proto Man checking the visor for the map to the main server. It looked like their goal was just ahead.
"Proto, I think we got company." Exclaimed Mega Man cause proto to turn around and look at the large group of robots behind them. He noticed there were the average Mets and Sniper Joes, but there were also some new ones. One had orange cubes for the chest, shoulders, and head and had a large blaster extending from the chest piece. The build of the machine resembled a Sniper Joe. The next were aerial bots that were orb shaped and had brown cylinders on the sides that were tilted upwards. The last new model was a torso with two arms and a hat with one eye instead of a head. Instead of legs it had three large rings that hovered in the air. These were the Gunner Cubes, Disk slots, and finally the Magicster.
Wasting no time the robotic heroes activated their busters and opened fire on the robots which they gladly return. As soon as one went down another replace it. Mega Man saw a power line housing above them and shot at it. It was busted open and electric wires fell on to the Wily robots below.
"Well that takes care of them." Mega Man said to Proto Man.
"Yeah let's get to the main server." Replied Proto Man
After going down the passage that was marked on the map they arrived at the server. It was a large rectangular computer with wire connecting to other small computers that were linked to more. Though the blasted through a lot of robots they still felt it was too easy.
"I guess we turn it off" Proto Man state as he headed towards the server. But he didn't notice a small orange cube as it fell in front of him. Mega Man saw it as it began to flash rapidly. It was an explosive and Mega Man had little time to warn Proto Man.
"Proto Man! Look Out!" Mega Man called out to his ally.
"Huh?" Proto Man had barely anytime to notice the flashing cube and raise his shield before it blew. BOOOOOOMMMMMM. The blast sent Proto Man flying back into Mega Man. "Gah" they both grunted in pain.
"Guess you're better than I thought." Came the voice of Trap Man as he stepped from behind the main server. "But if you want to turn this off you have to beat me." He finished pulling a transparent orange disk from the larger one on his for arm.
"Alright then take this!" Proto Man got to his feet and rushed Trap Man. Trap Man just smiled under his face guard and threw the disk in his hand. It sailed towards Proto Man and wrapped around his legs, binding them and stopping him cold.
"What the!" exclaimed Proto Man in surprise.
"How do you like my trap disk?" Trap Man responded.
Quickly Mega Man got to his feet and dashed to the side. Seeing this Trap Man threw more trap disks at the blue bomber. Mega Man responded by blasting them with the Mega Buster. Determined, Trap Man threw more at different angles hoping to confuse the hero, only for them to be blasted. As this was going on Proto Man was able to get free from the disk and snuck up upon the Robot Master. At that moment he charged a powerful shot.
"Hey T head!" Proto Man exclaimed, getting the master of sabotage's attention.
"What?" Trap Man turned surprised to see the red android behind him.
"It's my turn now." He stated and fired. Trap Man couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the massive blast, being damage greatly. He flew back and Mega Man and Proto Man got a few more shots on him.
"Not so tough now, are you" Mega Man said to the defeated machine.
"How" Trap Man question, "I'm the master of sabotage, Trap Man. How could you escape my trap disk?"
"Simple, I fired a few shots into it, hoping to break it which it did." Proto Man stated to the Robot Master. "Now to finish you off once and for all."
But before they could a blur rushed in and grabbed Trap Man and disappeared for the server room.
"What was that?" asked Proto Man in disbelief.
"Don't know, but we have a mission to do Proto Man." Mega Man said. He walked over to the server and turned it off. He then proceeded to disconnect it from the power source. Even though he looked calm he was wondering about that blur.
"What's this?" Proto Man's voice sounded.
"Hmm" Mega Man looked over his shoulder at the object Proto Man directed to. It was the forearm piece of Trap Man's armor with the trap disk still connected.
"Guess he dropped it when he disappeared." Mega Man stated, walking over to the armor piece and copying the ability of the weapon. "It could help us later though."
LOCATION; Medic Bay
Trap Man was laid down on to a medic table for repairs. The figure that was the blur looked on at his comrade with pride knowing he did his best. Before he left the room Trap Man opened his eyes and spoke to the figure.
"Why, why did you save me? I failed my mission. So why did you save me Dra" Trap Man questioned before he was interrupted.
"Because you're my friend and I don't leave my friends to die. Ever." The figure stated, his blue eyes flashing with determination. "Now gets some rest. AM-3 will be here some to patch you right up." With that the figure walked off but not before hearing Trap Man statement.
"Thank you then, you always watch out for all of us."
