RedDragon: Hey everyone, sorry about the delay. You know it is hard to beat writer's block sometimes, well thankfully I stabbed that asshole barrier to dust and the next chapter is ready to launch.
Sage Wolf: Well, at least that was over with, and good thing to or the writer's demon would return.
AssassinK: Never mind that we got a chapter to do! This is probably going to explain a lot right?
RedDragon: Can't tell you.
AssassinK: Why not?
RedDragon: Because Sage Wolf is holding an anti-spoiler gun to my head.
Sage Wolf: Remember, no spoilers!
RedDragon: Anyways let's get on with this fic.
Chapter 13; The secret past revealed!
LOCATION; Hanger
"Ok, can someone please TELL me what the hell is going on!" Proto Man yelled. He was not having a good day. First he had to fight a bunch of powerful and annoying Robot Masters. Second, the last one they fought had gotten stronger from absorbing energy for the other two. Finally, the Robot Master that they have been fighting turns out to be the brother they had never known about. Seriously, was the universe trying to give him an aneurism?
"You have quite the temper on you, aye little brother?" Dragon Man, or Rago as he was revealed to be, said in a semi-mocking tone. He stood up, Amy still clinging to his arm giving him support. His blue eyes flashed with a blue-green light as a white line passed over them for a moment. "There, the sensors in the hanger are disabled. We can talk in peace now."
He walked forward, staggering as he did for he was not fully recovered yet. He made it to Mega Man and Proto Man and the others Robot Masters, who had arrived at the end of the battle along with Amy and Kaede both of whom were at their boyfriends sides, followed so after. "I guessing you what to know why all of this is happening."
"Yes, we would like that very much, Rago" Mega Man said, the last part hard to spit out. He was still unsure how this Robot Master could be in anyway related to him.
"I guess I should start from the beginning." Rago stated.
Flash back
'We have been digging for eleven months and still nothing" a young man in a military officer's uniform thought. He had been at this dig for months and yet they still didn't find the source of the energy anomaly that had caught the Global Defense Force's attention. The area they were digging in was known to the local people as the 'Ryuou Tera' or temple of the dragon king. This site was, according to the local legend, the scene of a battle between two great entities. On one side was a demon that came down from the sky to put the world under his iron fist. On the other side was the dragon king. He appeared out of light and fire and battled the demon for ten days and nights. The battle ended with the noble dragon buring the demon and himself under a mountain. Many years later a temple was made in honor of the great beast, but because disused after the area was conquered by the shogun centuries later.
'Some legend, a wouldn't be surprised if all we found was some dinosaur bones and nuclear waste. The waste would explain the energy reading and the bones would be the basis of that 'Dragon King' legend' the young officer thought. He was brought out of his mental rant be a lower ranked solider that had entered the command tent. "Yes corporal?" the young officer asked.
"Lieutenant Iron, sir! The village leader is here and creating a disturbance!" the corporal reported.
"What, again! How did he get pass the guards?" The now revealed Lieutenant Domon Iron exclaimed. "Hrrrrrrr, never mind, just take me to him."
"Sir!"
Outside in the massive excavation workers and military personal alike were watching a man in late sixties, early seventies rant and yell about them disturbing the resting place of a great being and a demon rising to destroy the world. Domon slid down the side of the pit and walked up to the old man. "What seems to be the problem this now old timer?" Domon asked in a annoyed tone.
"The problem is you young fool, that you are disturbing the grave of a powerful being and his eternal enemy! If their remains are disturbed then the demon will rise again and destroy the world!" the old man exclaimed, some of his gray hair getting free from the bun in the back of his head. The old man wore very traditional attire of the area. His wooden sandals were worn and his hakamas has tears in its white fabric, and his haori pale blue showing the years of use.
"Look, I don't care about your legends" Domon started to say while he picked up a nearby shovel, "but I got a job to do and it is getting done!" He finished his statement and rammed the shovel head into the ground.
"You fool! You do not know the evil you're unleashing!" the old man shouted back.
"I said qui-huh?" Domon stopped mid statement as a bright bluish light emanated from the newly made incision. Then before anyone could react the light exploded violently. After the light and smoke cleared, the occupants of the pit found a new crater where the shovel was implanted. Domon walked slowly and hesitantly towards the crater's edge. 'Ok, I think I know what headquarters was really looking for now.'
3 YEARS LATER
"Well Albert, we are finally here!" a young man said. He was looking around and saw all for the staff at the research station they were invited to. His blue eyes showed his excitement and his brown hair and beard were in a style of a man fresh out of college. Next to him was another young man of about the same age with shaggy auburn hair and a large mustache of the same shade.
"You said it Thomas. Only a month out of the institute and we are now joining a huge project." The newly revealed Albert replied. They both stared in wonder at the advanced technology around them.
"So, you are the two young hotshots I been hearing about." A voice called. The two friends turned around and stared at the man in a military uniform walking towards them. "Thomas Light, Albert Wily, I'm Lieutenant Commander Domon Iron. I'm in charge of the base and the project conducted here." The Lieutenant greeted them and shook their hands.
"Thank you for the privilege sir, but I have one question" Thomas stated.
"What is it?" Domon asked.
"Why did you selected the two of us out of thousands of applicants?" Thomas replied.
"That is simple, you two had the knowledge we were looking for."
"Care to elaborate on that, sir?" Albert asked.
"You see we need Thomas here for his ground breaking work in robotic AIs and his knowledge on creating very human robotic AIs for use. You Wily, on the other hand, was selected for your advanced robotic designs and ability at designing and creating the next generation in robotics. With your skills combined, we can create the first in a new generation of androids."
"You really think so?" Thomas spoke up, flattered by the young officer's confidence in the two of them.
"Of course, I'm risking my career on it aren't I" Domon responded to them and shocking them at the same time. "Now follow me, I got something to show you." Domon said and proceeded down the hallway behind him. Thomas and Wily followed him, not wanting to get lost. They walked down the hall in silence until they reached a large, locked door that was similar to a bunker down. "Here it is" Domon said putting his bare hand against a scanner. The scanner then beeped and the door opened, revealing a group of scientist studying two objects. The first was a blue gem like object. It was about a foot across and was shaped like a shooting star. The other object looked like a strange machine that was white, grey and black. It also had seven lenses on it that had a faint red glow.
"What you two see before you are objects recovered from the 'Ryuou Tera' near a rural village in Japan. The GDF sent a task force there that I was in charge of. We were sent there because of a strange energy spike of unknown origins. After months of digging we came upon these objects by accident. The gem you see was the source of the unknown energy, while the device was not of human or earth origin. Believing that the alien object was part of alien race that had tried to colonize the earth and might return to complete their mission, GDF top brass decided to create a new initiative that you are now a part of" Domon finished his little speech explaining why the two scientist were called there.
"And what would that initiative be?" Albert asked, still unsure of what to think.
"That is simple to answer, the 'Robot Master' initiative" Domon replied.
A YEAR AND 6 MONTHS LATER
"Are you sure this is going to work Thomas? You and Albert had spent months on the design and even longer on the assembly. We don't even know if the AI is fully functional." Domon said skeptically to Thomas as he was finishing up the first in the new generation of defense androids.
"Of course I'm sure. If everything goes well, we will get the results that we have been waiting for" Thomas replied as he and Albert installed the last pieces. Albert then went over to the computer console and typed in the necessary commands.
"Ready when you are, Thomas" Albert said.
"Then let's begin" Thomas replied. Albert then threw the switch and the androids eyes opened and revealed their blue color. The android then stood up from the table and looked at the occupants of the room. He smiled and closed his eyes as parts of the were hidden by his gold and red hair.
"Hello, My names Rago. It's nice to meet you." The android, Rago, said to the scientist and officers in the room. The scientist and officer immediately smiled back and begun cheering.
"We did it!"
"It worked!"
"Finally, our first success!"
2 YEARS LATER
"Damnit, doesn't he know his own strength! This is the first time that I had to fix them all up because he doesn't know how to hold back. Only Chad and Shiro are fully complete, the others are fully battle ready!" said a young lady of about 15 years old. She wor a nurses outfit and had shoulder length pink hair.
"Hey, they are the ones that told me not to hold back." Said a young male's voice. Turning around the nurse saw that it was the android that always gave her a mind grain. Rago walked into the medic bay checking up on how his friends were doing. His was in a red jumpsuit with blue armor with gold trim on his lower arms and legs and his shoulders and a piece on his chest.
"You still didn't need to beat them this hard!" the nurse yelled, now furious with the young machines attitude.
"Well, how are they going to get better if I always hold back?" Rago replied, egging the nurse on even more. Outside the medic bay, the now Lieutenant General Domon Iron listen to the two robots bicker, again! 'Seriously, these two fight like they are two regular teenagers that don't want to admit their feeling for each other. This would never happen if Thomas and Albert were still, but their time here expired a year ago and they are not scheduled to return yet.' Domon finished his thought before leaving the two to bicker.
"At least I'm not a whiny immature girl like you are, Amy!" Rago yelled at the newly revealed Amy.
"You jerk!" she exclaimed charging forward to smack him, only to trip on a loose cable and crash into Rago, sending both of them falling to the floor.
'Great fight she yells at me then she falls on me, what next' Rago thought to himself before noticing something. 'Wait, what's on my lips?' He opened his eyes and saw that he and Amy were kissing and her eyes were wide open as well. He quickly broke the kissed and started to apologize. "Look, Amy I'm sorry about" he tried to say but she grabbed him and said something that surprised him greatly.
"Just shut up and kiss me again" and he did.
6 MONTHS LATER
The day on the Lunar Fortress started like any other. The scientist and officers went to their scheduled stations. The only that was different was that after years of pain staking work, they were finally ready to extract data from the alien object. Hooking it up to computer terminals and different devices they were ready to find out it origin. Unfortunately they could not predict the outcome.
"Damn, all personal head for transport ships now! This is not a drill! We have an emergency evacuation right now!" Domon yelled into the intercom. The alien object was now causing havoc with the bases systems. Just minutes after the test began, it came online and started to gain control over the systems that kept them all alive. Now he and all of the human personal had to evacuate. Luckily for him he ran into one of the robots he needed to see.
"Rago! We are evacuating now! Get you and your team towards the hanger now!" he yelled to the robotic super soldier.
"I can't do that sir." Rago replied.
"What do you mean?"
"We were made to defend the earth from malevolent extraterrestrial entities and that is what we are going to do!" Domon was stunned at the androids conviction. Nodding in understanding, Domon continued towards the hanger leaving Rago to do his job.
'It is all up to you now, but I'm leaving it in the hands of the best person possible' Domon said to himself before reaching the command ship.
"Guess this is our first mission, well then let's do this!" Rago said to the other android before charging towards the research area.
Flashback end
"And that's our story" Rago finished finally getting it off his chest. He looked at the blue and red duo and waited for their response. There are many way for them to react. They look at him and Mega Man finally spoke up.
"So if that is all true, then why are you working for Wily?" the blue bomber asked.
"That is something I need to show you, come on" Rago said getting up and walking towards the exit.
"Where are we going then?" Proto Man questioned.
"Simple, we're going to finish what we started years ago."
RedDragon: Well then, the passed is revealed and the final fight is upon us. Now is the time to tell sorry about the delay. The dreaded writers block has caught up with me and I also had to finish Shovel Knight, now that's a hard game.
AssassinK: Well that can easily be forgiven, but also our dear viewers we are all starting college soon so updates will be slower and less frequent.
Sage Wolf: Well that can't be helped, but at least we have most of it done.
The Dom: True, now let's all get drunk!
RedDragon: DRAGON PUNCH!(the dom goes flying) WE'RE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT YOU MORON!
AssassinK: Was the violence really necessary?
RedDragon: It's the only way he every learns.
The Dom: (getting up, but badly bruise) Fine then I'll just spoil!
Sage Wolf: (appears behind the dom with a scythe with an energy blade) NOT TODAY! SPOILER HUNTER!
The Dom: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
