Hello there, readers and writers of Fanfiction! I'm back with another Chapter of "Rock & Roll"~! :D
Yay! More reviews! Thanks a bunch, buddies! You guys are awesome! :D ..Anyways, I would like to thank krikanalo, blee7442, Sword Dancer Sapphy, Wolverine the biobot, and Snodin for the reviews you gave me— it means so much to me! Oh, and I would like to thank to any writers who has fav/follow this fanfic, too! x3
Oh, right. In this Chapter, there would be so much Megaman-related things that maybe some of you don't know, so prepare a new tab and go to Google or your favorite Megaman Wiki. It wasn't that big, really. But you might want to do it just in case. xD
There's also Megaman-related music pieces here that I suggest to play, starting from "Music Starts" until "Music Ends" part. But this one is not really necessary, so it's up to you to do this one or not. ^_^-
There are lots of things here that I kind of skip and... fast-forwarded. I do that not because I'm lazy— it seems to drag on a little to me. But anyways, it's the first time I write stage scenes of Megaman, so bear with me. X_x
Alright, then! With no further ado, I hope you all enjoy the fic! :D
Disclaimer : I don't own Megaman. The game company Capcom does... But seriously, I think Capcom began to add characters from any Megaman franchise to crossover games rather than to any of their games (please don't kill me for saying this, Capcom. X_x)... S-So anyways, have you heard about "Street Fighter x All Capcom"?
Rock & Roll
Chapter 3 : Repeated, but Different
Megaman, Roll, Dr. Light, and Auto are now at the main lab of the Light's family. Of all the advanced-machine equipment in the room, the one that stands out is a big computer with a keyboard that has a lot of buttons and a large screen— which at the moment showing the faces of the 8 Robot Masters Dr. Wily has reconstructed.
While Dr. Light and Auto are working on something with the big computer, Megaman and Roll are talking about... something.
"Roll... Are you sure you don't need an armor?" Megaman asked, looking completely confused. "Dad could make you one, you know?"
"I don't think I need one, Megaman," Roll replied, shaking her head. "The combat abilities Dad installed in me is all I need on this mission. Besides, I have learned and mastered the basic combat techniques from you just a moment before we're here, right?"
"I know that, but that wasn't the one that matters to me! I mean, you know you're about to go to a battle field, right? Sure, your combat abilities are amazing, Roll. But all you wear for this mission is that dress?" Megaman stated aloud, his eyes bulged out in shock. "Roll, please tell me you're seriously not going out fighting Dr. Wily's robots dressed like that!"
Roll huffed aloud in irritation at her brother's remark. Was it wrong if she choose to wear her trademark brick red dress with long dark blue sleeves and her red boots with dark blue rims? Sure, the dress was kind of... short. But the dress itself provides her to move more freely with no problem, so why need to change?
"No, I'm serious!" Roll retorted back, placing her hands to her hips. "Don't worry about it being short, Megaman! I can handle this, alright? Just believe in me!"
Megaman stumble back a bit in surprise, feeling unsure about this. His sister must have love the dress so much that she refuse to do any changes for this mission, isn't she?
Well, guess he'll just go with it— just a moment before, Dr. Light has failed to make Roll change her outfit, too.
Not long after the conversation take place, Auto approached both Megaman and Roll.
"Megaman, Roll," the big green robot called out. "Dr. Wily... I think he replaced the eighth Robot Master with someone new. Neither me nor Dr. Light can get any data of this someone."
"Huh? I wonder..." Megaman muttered, before he and Roll walked to the big computer and gazed up to the computer's large screen.
Shown on the large screen are 8 small squares that has pictures of Dr. Wily's reconstructed Robot Masters, all arranged to a square formation. The first square— the one at the top-left of the screen— contains a picture of Woodman. Next to it is a picture of Airman, then continued with the picture of Flameman. Below Flameman is a picture of Shademan, and below Shademan's picture is Aquaman. A picture of Coldman could be seen beside Aquaman's picture, while next to Coldman is a picture of Solarman.
The last Robot Master— the picture placed between Woodman and Solarman— was only shown as a black silhouette of a humanoid figure, with the name being "???".
"Huh? The one with three question marks must be the one you and Dad can't get any data on..." Megaman said to Auto, before he placed a hand under his chin. "Still, that makes me wonder... Auto, who previously filled the eighth square before this unidentified Robot Master?" the blue robot inquired, looking to the big green robot beside him in wonder.
"Previously, the data I got shows that it was Astroman. But all of the sudden, it changed to this new, unidentified Robot Master," Auto answered, crossing his arms as he tilted his head to the side in wonder. "Hmm... This is so unusual. Dr. Wily never done this before."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Stopping Dr. Wily's plans is what matters to me right now," Megaman stated earnestly, bringing up his arm before he clenched it.
"I think it's best if we go separate and different ways, Megaman," Roll suggested, as her brother turned his attention to her.
"I'm listening," Megaman told his sister, nodding.
"Alright, so what I mean is, for example, you choose to go for Airman, so I'll choose for another. How about it?"
"Actually, that sounds like a plan, Roll." Megaman agreed, sounding unsure however. "But... Are you sure you're okay all by yourself? This is the first time you're doing this kind of thing."
"I'll be okay, Megaman! Don't worry!" Roll reassured her brother, giving him a wink. Boy, her brother is sure a protective one, isn't he? "So... Who do you choose to defeat first, Megaman?"
"I think... Aquaman is going to be my first," the blue robot stated, before he shifted his gaze to his sister. "... How about you, Roll?"
"I think I'll go after Woodman. I don't mind getting leaves stuck on my dress." Roll said with a chuckle, before bringing a fist up into the air. "Alright, Megaman! Shall we go then?"
Megaman smiled to his sister. "Yeah." he answered, giving his sister a reassure nod. "Let's go."

- Meanwhile, in a fortress somewhere far away... -
"Aquaman!" Dr. Wily cried aloud, as he turned his chair to face his said creation. "You're up to action!"
A water-themed robot named Aquaman jumped from his seat excitedly, crying out in joy.
"Alright! It looks like that blue boy choose to fight the handsome guy first!" Aquaman said aloud, holding out his hand graciously as twinkling 'stars' could be seen all around him.
"Oh, man. Not this 'handsome guy' thing again..." Coldman muttered knowingly as he face-palmed, and letting his fingers slid down his face.
"Man, I was hoping the blue troublemaker would pick me first so I can suck the life out of him... But meh, guess it's not my time to shine yet," Shademan said with a chuckle, his big bat-like wings stretching out in motion.
All the Robot Masters cringed once they heard Shademan's words, and they felt as if chills crawled up their spine.
"R-Remind me to not get on this side of his," Flameman said quietly to the others, who just nodded in agreement at the statement.
Just then, Piano walked into the room while holding a small rectangular-shaped device that supports a screen, a confused look was visible on her face.
"Uh... Dad?" the purple-haired girl called out, her eyebrow arched up in bewilderment as she stared at the screen of the device she held. "I think this Megaman enemy had... asked someone to help him. And this someone is now off to Woodman's stage."
"... Huh?"
Dr. Wily gave Piano a skeptical look, as if unsure the girl telling him the truth. Seeing this, the purple-haired girl sighed before she held up the rectangular-shaped device she had in her grasp.
"Look at this, Dad," Piano told her creator, pointing to the screen of the rectangular-shaped device she held. "While Megaman was swimming his way through the obstacles at Aquaman's stage, someone— a girl— is currently smashing some Bubble Bat to nothing but shreds with her red arm cannon at Woodman's stage."
"Say what?!" Dr. Wily cried aloud, sounding completely shocked. A girl? No... It couldn't be that household robot girl at Light's house... could it?
Desirous to know if his guess was true, Dr. Wily hopped off his seat before he walked to Piano, looking at the device the robot girl held in wonder...
At least he was, until the screen that shows the picture of Megaman battling three cuttlefish-like robot called Surumaker in water changed to an image of a blonde girl shot and destroy two bat-like robot called Bubble Bat with her red arm cannon.
"W-What the heck?! This can't be true!" Dr. Wily exclaimed in shock, his eyes widened as he snatched the rectangular-shaped device away from Piano's hands so he could focus his eyes at the screen attached to the device.
The mad doctor's eyes twitch once he had his eyes focused at the screen. It is clear now that the blonde girl was none other than Roll— a household robot girl made by Dr. Light and is the younger sister of Megaman.
Silence took time to sneak in between all the people in the room before Dr. Wily broke it by mutter out... a chuckle?
"So... Instead of making a new battle robot, that troublesome Light remodel his household robot, Roll, to help Megaman to stop me?" Dr. Wily uttered somehow in astonishment, and the room quickly fall silent once again. This made Piano and the other 7 Robot Masters confused as they stared to their creator in wonder.
But once again, the silence broke when Dr. Wily snickered before he suddenly laugh out loud. "Haha... Ahaha... WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, boy! I can't believe this! I didn't know that troublesome Light was this pathetic!" the mad doctor cackled with a grin, before he turned to face the Robot Masters. "Aquaman, Woodman! I command you to go to your respective place and wait for the arrival of your opponent! Aquaman, I hope you're not failed to defeat Megaman this time! And as for you, Woodman... A little girl isn't a big problem for you, is it?"
Aquaman and Woodman took a few step forward before they bowed slightly to their creator.
"I won't failed this time, Dr. Wily! I, Aquaman, promise you victory over Megaman!" the water-themed Robot Master stated aloud as he shot water upwards, creating a small line of rainbow.
"I actually want to beat Megaman more than anyone, but I guess that little girl is a good warm up for me!" Woodman exclaimed with a grin as he punches his fist together in determination.
Dr. Wily smiled evilly. "Excellent, excellent! I expect good news from both of you when you're back! Now, GO!"
"YES, DR. WILY!" both Aquaman and Woodman shouted aloud before they're gone in a beam of light, heading out to their respective places.
"So... That blonde girl's name was Roll?" Piano muttered, looking amused as she smiles almost wickedly. "I don't know why, Dad, but I think she's good. I can't wait to battle her one day."
"What the— Piano! That blonde girl isn't my arch-nemesis! The blue robot is the one!" Dr. Wily stated aloud, almost angrily.
Piano chuckled. "I know that, Dad. It's just..." she stopped, smiling suspiciously before she continued, "... I had a feeling that we'll meet face to face and will engage to a battle, Dad... And I'm pretty sure it will happen one day."

- Meanwhile, somewhere at a place with water everywhere... -
*Music Starts : Underwater Stage (Megaman 8)*
Megaman inhaled a deep breath as he swim out of the water, feeling a bit relieved to can finally out to the water's surface.
It was a tough route back in the water. Not only he need to swim his way through the deathly spikes, Megaman also need to battle an army of ammonite-like robot named Ammoner, an army of oyster-like robot named Shell'n, and an army of cuttlefish-like robot namedSurumaker. He need to battle all of them because they're getting on his way and always try to attack him.
I guess Dr. Wily really meant it when he said upgrades, huh? Megaman thought, already feeling a bit tired with the fight between him and the army of aquatic-themed robots he just had a moment before.
I wish I had an E-Tank with me right now... Megaman hoped mentally as he sighs aloud, knowing he should continue no matter what.
Noticing a metal ladder leading upward just above him, Megaman latched his arms to one of its many handles before he pulled himself out of the water. Once the 'Blue Bomber' climbed up and standing on the hard surface of the metal platform the ladder attached on, suddenly, two grenades flew to his way and explodes once they made contact with him.
"Agh!" Megaman cried for the sudden pain he just received, before he stumbles back and almost lose his footing on the platform he currently stood on. Coming back to his senses, the 'Blue Bomber' looked up, finding a green, Sniper Joe-like robot named Joe Classic stood a few meters from him, ready to throw another two grenades at him.
"Oh, no you don't!" Megaman exclaimed, quickly charging up his Mega Buster before he shot the Joe Classic with it, destroying it instantly. However, the Joe Classic's two grenades are still up in the air, so Megaman shot it with his Buster and wipe it out while it was still in the air.
"Phew... That was close," Megaman uttered in relief, sighing aloud. He then proceed to jump to the metal platform across him before he climbs another ladder that went to the upper level. Once everything was said and done, he now stood at a wooden bridge next to waterfall, that unexpectedly leads to a... dead end.
*Music Ends*
"H-Huh?" the 'Blue Bomber' muttered confusedly, looking around. "Where should I go ne— WHOA!"
Suddenly, the bridge where Megaman stood on broke to pieces, and he was left falling down. Just then, he saw a big, fish-like robot jumped out of the waterfall. It has round green body with a red gem in the middle and two blue claw-like thing attached to it, its small beady eyes were fixed to Megaman as the 'Blue Bomber' realized who the fish-like robot was.
"Gorone... Dr. Wily brought you back too?" Megaman wondered, remembering he ever fought the sub-boss robot back when Dr. Wily uses this thing called 'Evil Energy' for doing his evil deeds, and when he travel his way through Aquaman's stage back then, he meet this big fish-like robot and defeat it.
"I guess this won't be the same like last time, knowing Dr. Wily had put upgrades in you," Megaman pointed out, charging up his Mega Buster. "But that doesn't mean I would give up here. I will battle you once again, and I will defeat you for good!"
The blue bomber pointed his Buster to the fish-like robot, who gave him an angry look as it ready to launch its attack.
"Alright, then!" Megaman yelled aloud, looking at his opponent right in the eye. "... Let's do this!"

- Meanwhile, somewhere at a jungle of some sort... -
*Music Starts : Woodman Stage (Megaman 2)*
"Take this!"
Roll switches her right arm to a red Buster before she fires a charged-shot to a big, blue dog-like robot called Friender before her. It destroyed instantly once Roll's shot hit it.
"Your name is Friender, but you don't act friendly at all," Roll commented with a loud huff, switching her right arm back to her normal hand. "Well, better continue with the quest and defeat Woodman!"
With that, Roll climbed over the high ledges, shot and destroy some Bubble Bat on her way, and either climbed up and down ladders to go to the next area.
If I should comment, Roll stated mentally, sighing. I would say that this place is a total mess— leaves are scattered around the ground and metal shreds are everywhere... I wish I can clean this place to make it tidy and nice-looking. But since this place is kind of owned by Dr. Wily... well, guess I'll take back my words.
A few minutes later after running through the place, Roll is forced to stop on her track when she witness... a huge army of robots a few meters before her.
The blonde girl's eyes bulged out in shock. A few meters before her are an army of robots that consists of the bat-like robot Bubble Bat, the rabbit-like robot Robbit, and the chicken-like robot Kukku. They stood there somehow in proud, blocking her way to go forward.
Roll's eyes slowly back to its normal size, but her right eye suddenly twitch, and she slowly gritted her teeth together in annoyance.
"... Really?" the blonde girl muttered almost indignantly, her hands balled to tight fist at her sides. "So all of you choose to fight in group to finish me off? I seriously never thought Dr. Wily's bots could plan and do such an unfair thing like attacking a person in group!"
Roll brought her right arm to her back before pulling out her unique-designed broom, which consists of a long metal handle that attached to a red rectangular thing that keep all the light brown-colored bristles in place. She always brought this broom just in case she needs it, and to her, this is one of many times she should use it.
"LET ME GO THROUGH!" the blonde girl yelled aloud, as she charged forward and swung her broom around with all her might. One by one, the robots are all knocked away thanks to the force from Roll's broom swing, and it continues until Roll found all of the robots are gone from her sight, and she decided to stop swinging her long-handled 'weapon'.
*Music Ends*
"Uh... Well, that's kind of... awkward," Roll uttered, unsure what to say about what she has just done with the broom she currently hold in her right hand.
A beeping sound was heard from the small ear piece Roll wore on her right ear, and she quickly tapped it.
"Roll, this is Megaman. I just want to check on you... Are you alright out there?" Megaman's voice came from the ear piece Roll was wearing, the worry in his voice is clear.
Roll almost laughed upon hearing the question, especially once she remember what she has done to the robots around with her broom. Up until this moment, she still can't believe that she could 'sweep away' the robots easily. She then presume that this got to do with the combat systems her father installed in her.
"Don't worry, Megaman. I'm alright! Sure, the robots are quite troublesome, but I can handle it!" Roll said proudly to her brother. "Anyway... How are things there, Megaman?"
"Like you, I'm doing just fine," the blue robot replied, as Roll could imagine a smile was there on his face. "I just defeat this fish-like robot called Gorone, and I've got to say that it is stronger than before... Well, I guess I will continue with my quest now. Roll, be safe, alright?"
And with that last statement, Megaman hung up, the subtle click of disconnection went through Roll's right ear as he did so.
"Well then," Roll gazed up to the grey metal door before her, the big 'Dr. W' written above the door marked that she almost reach the boss of this stage— which is none other than Woodman.
"I better get going, too," the blonde girl murmured before she proceed to the grey metal door in front of her, ready to face Woodman with a big determination flares up within her...
Well, there ya go... My first attempt at writing stage scenes of Megaman. Sorry if it seems imperfect to your eyes. X_x
Well, guess that's all for now. See you all next time in the next Chapter! Also, have a good day, buddies~! O:)
