Rock & Roll
Chapter 13 : Remembrance
A beam of blue light flew down from the sky and landed on the ground. It took shape into a humanoid form before Megaman was materialized from the light.
The Blue Bomber looked around, observing his surroundings. He's now on a wide cliff, behind him is a lush forest. Walking to the cliff's edge, Megaman found another lush forest far below the cliff.
... Huh? That building far below with lavas everywhere... it looks familiar... Megaman thought, bringing his head slightly to the side.
The Blue Bomber kept still for a moment before his eyes grew wide, realizing what the building was.
Wait a sec! T-That's... That's Solarman's stage! Megaman gritted his teeth. No wonder that new robot knew I had left the stage— He must have seen it all from here!
As Megaman still had his eyes to the building far from him, suddenly, the Blue Bomber could hear the sound of shoes clicking from behind, and he quickly turned his head to that direction.
A robot slowly approached him— the same, male robot who challenged him to a fight back at the lab via video phone.
The male robot has grey body suit. His armor mainly colored orange from head to waist, and black with yellow stripes on his legs' armor, while the rest parts of his armor are colored red, white, yellow, black, and grey. A grey piece was covering his entire neck— one that made him looked like as if he wore a turtleneck shirt. His torso armor has a dark grey square piece with pale grey pipes running over his shoulders from the front to the back, while his helmet had a big, dark grey square piece resembling a hat. His eyes are hidden by the black visor on his helmet.
"The number identity-scanner planted in my eyes said that your series number is DLN-001," the male robot said, putting a halt to his steps. "Are you... the one they called Megaman?"
Megaman turned his entire body around to face the male robot, whose height seemed as same as him.
"Why would you want to fight me?" the Blue Bomber inquired, jumping right to the point. "Who are you...?"
"What I can tell you is I'm not an enemy," the male robot replied. "To tell you the truth, Megaman, I was fixing to challenge DLN-002— Roll, but I changed my mind after I saw what happened."
"R-Roll...? So you also know what happened to her?" Megaman narrowed his eyes at the male robot. "S-So you're really spying on me and my family! You even want to challenge my sister— who just recovered from her 'sickness'— to a fight!"
The orange male robot sighed. "I suppose you don't take me too well, even when I told you I'm not an enemy."
"And you think I would believe that...? After all the proof telling that you're spying on me and my family...?" Megaman pointed out, his voice rose slightly, but his face somehow tells the otherwise. "L-Look, tell me what you're up to, and we could end this without a fight!"
"Pacifist... I guess what Solarman said about you was right after all. But sorry, Megaman, I'm afraid that can't be done," the orange male robot uttered, switching his right arm to a Buster, much to Megaman's surprise.
"If you want to know who I am and what I'm up to," the orange robot muttered, pointing his Buster arm to Megaman, "... then fight and defeat me!"
*Music Starts : Boss Battle (Megaman Powered Up)*
The male robot fires three orange small shots that resembling a fire with a ring around it to Megaman, who reacted quickly and dodge the attack by side-stepping. Megaman then countered by firing three small, yellow-colored shots at the orange robot. But much to the Blue Bomber's surprise, the orange male robot jumped away to avoid the shots just in time.
"Are you holding back?" the orange male robot inquired, firing another of his fire-like small shots.
"I'm not!" the Blue Bomber exclaimed, dodging the fire-like small shots as he fires his yellow-colored small shots again. "What makes you think I'm holding back?"
"You're not using your charged-shot," the male robot pointed out, stepping to the side to avoid Megaman's small shots. "And with that, I take it you're holding back on me."
Megaman gritted his teeth. "Don't you realize," he began, silently charging up energy into his Buster, "that what you said just now only makes it clearer for me that you're an enemy, and not an ally?!"
The orange robot sighs again. "What should I say to convince you that I'm not an enemy?" he uttered, also starting to charge energy into his Buster. "It seems I can do nothing to reassure you that I'm an ally... except defeating you!"
Both Megaman and the orange robot raised their Busters and executes a charged-shot. While Megaman launched his trademark, big blue-colored shot, the orange male robot launched a big, fire-like shot colored orange with two rings around it, trails of fire were seen flying around the charged-shot.
Shortly after that, the two charged-shots collide and creating quite a huge explosion that blew fierce wind all around the area. The trees were blown harshly to the side, while Megaman and the orange male robot are thrown away far from one another.
Megaman successfully landed on his feet before he make haste to the orange male robot far in front of him. He only ran halfway when all of a sudden, the orange male robot fires his charged-shot. Megaman gasped in surprise as he screeched to a halt, and couldn't do more than that as the fire-like shot hit his right hand— the one that currently transformed to his Buster.
"Ugh!" Megaman grimaced in pain, bringing his left arm to his Buster arm.
"Don't you see me as an enemy?" the orange robot uttered, sighing. "Solarman was right after all— being a pacifist would only get in your way, Megaman."
"It's not like that!" Megaman brought up his slighty-damaged Buster arm, pointing it to the orange male robot. "And how come you know about that? Seriously, I don't like anyone who's spying on me and my family!"
With those words, the Blue Bomber launched his charged-shot again. The sight surprises the orange male robot, as he never expect the Blue Bomber to attack.
"Ugh!" the orange male robot grunted in pain as Megaman's charged-shot hit him, sending him stumble two steps back.
Who is he, really...? Megaman thought, silently activating the 'special' scanner planted within his eyes. When he did, he never thought to find a shocking discovery...
I-It can't be... H-He got... But how...?
Megaman brought his Buster arm down. "Is this... really the only way...?" he muttered, gazing down to the ground. The orange male robot looked up to the Blue Bomber confusedly.
"What do you mean...?" the orange male robot inquired, completely flabbergasted at Megaman's words.
"Is fighting... the only way to settle this?" Megaman shifted his gaze from the ground to the orange male robot. "You're spying on me and my family... I can't forgive you for that, and yet... I don't want to hurt you badly."
The orange male robot sighs. "Then stop being a pacifist, Megaman. You can't—"
"No. It's not about that," Megaman cut in, hoping he could see the orange robot's eyes at the moment. "Somehow... I felt you're kind of... familiar. And when I see your structure... I know why. I think I have seen them before."
The orange male robot tensed at this. "S-Structure...? H-How can you see it...?"
"Almost all robots like us had 'special' scanner with certain function planted within our eyes by our creator," Megaman explained. "While yours was to check out a robot's serial number, mine was to see a robot's structure. I'm not quite sure if I'm correct, but your structure... somehow, it looks like... my robot bird's structure— Beat."
"T-Tch... N-Now you're seeing things," the orange male robot said, taking a step back and silently charging up energy into his Buster. "Stop talking and let's fight!"
Megaman sighs. "I don't know if I'm seeing things, but now, I don't know too if I'm hearing things. I mean, your voice just now... it sounded... like you don't want to fight me seriously."
Silently, Megaman also charged energy into his Buster, and dashed to where the orange male robot currently at. Seeing this, the orange robot gasped, quickly firing up his charged-shot to keep the Blue Bomber from getting closer.
Unfortunately, the big fire-like shot successfully avoided by Megaman, and within seconds, the Blue Bomber was already in front of him, with Buster fully charged with energy. This surprises the orange male robot completely, standing still in shock.
"You're not focused to the fight anymore," Megaman uttered, looking up to the orange robot with a small smile. "Maybe... Maybe you're not an enemy after all. Explain yourself when this is over."
With those words, Megaman brought up his Buster arm, and released his blue-colored Buster shot to the orange male robot. When the charged-shot collides to his body, the orange robot cried in pain, and was sent flying off a few feet from where he stood before he hurled down towards the ground, making trail of smokes around him.
*Music Ends*
Megaman switches his Buster arm back to his normal hand as he walked over the orange male robot, who struggled to get up, managing to do so on his knees with his hands on the ground.
Megaman stopped right in front of the orange robot. "Now tell me... Who are you? And what you're up to, really?"
The orange male robot didn't answer. Instead, he just silent... until a light chuckle escaped his mouth, and he burst to a laugh.
"W-... What's so funny?!" the Blue Bomber asked, almost loudly, completely bewildered at the orange robot's action.
The orange robot's laugh died down a few seconds later. "I-I'm sorry..." he said, bringing his head up to look at Megaman. "I-I just couldn't believe it... 'Doctor' was right about you, after all— you'll win every fight, even when your enemy playing with your mind."
"'Doctor'...? You mean your creator...?" the Blue Bomber cocked his head to the side. "If I may ask, who is your creator?"
The orange male robot smiled. "Oh, believe me. You know my creator so well, Megaman... At least, that's what 'Doctor' said."
The orange male robot brought up his left hand to the left side of his helmet. A sound of a 'click' was heard before the black visor on his helmet lifted up, revealing his dark green eyes that looks calming.
"I haven't introduce myself, have I? Then allow me," the orange male robot said, smiling to the Blue Bomber. "I'm DCN-00B— named Blastman. It's a pleasure to meet you, Megaman the great Blue Bomber— hero of all."
"Wait a minute... DCN?" Megaman put his hand under his chin in thought, feeling the words said by orange male robot— Blastman— familiar somehow.
A moment later, Megaman gasped. "W-Wait... D-Don't tell me..." he muttered, his eyes grew wide. "D-Don't tell me DCN stands for 'Doctor Cossack Numbers'!"
"Wow. 'Doctor' was right, after all— you know him so well," Blastman said with a light chuckle.
Megaman looked at him with a small frown. "I-I'm sorry... I see now why you knows what I'm doing— Dr. Cossack must have sent you here, and he told you to challenge me for some purposes."
"That's right. 'Doctor' said I should try to fight you so he could see if my combat functions are working well," Blastman said with a nod. "It's not only for that, actually... 'Doctor' told me to give you a hand."
Megaman looked at Blastman in wonder. "Huh...?"
"Beat told me he lives at this place called 'Dr. Light's Laboratory'. I presume you live there too?" Blastman said, which replied with a nod by Megaman. "Alright, then. Please take me there, Megaman. I would like to explain to Dr. Thomas Light about my actions."
"Beat, huh?" Megaman chuckles. "That video phone... You must have given it to Beat instead of him finding it, right?"
"True," Blastman replied, trying to get up to his feet, but ended up falling again.
"Y-You okay?" the Blue Bomber kneeled next to the orange male robot. "D-Did I damaged you badly?"
"N-No... I just trying to get used to this situation where my energy is low..." Blastman said, glancing to Megaman. "B-But I guess I can't do much for now... I need a little help."
Megaman smiled. "Then allow me," the Blue Bomber said, carefully slung Blastman's left arm around the back of his neck, and brought the orange male robot up from the ground while wrapping his right hand around Blastman's waist to keep the orange robot on his feet.
"T-Thanks..." Blastman uttered with a small smile. "Oh, right. 'Doctor' said to me that when a robot's energy is low, you should drink an E-Tank. If I may ask, what's this 'E-Tank' looked like, Megaman?"
"Oh, you'll see," the Blue Bomber said with a chuckle. "In fact, you'll get to taste it once we arrived at Dad's lab."
With those words, Megaman looked up, and slowly, his body materialized to a blue light before he and Blastman were gone from the place in a beam of blue light...
The mysterious figure was revealed to be an ally! Why that's a relief, especially knowing that this ally is none other than one of Dr. Cossack's creations! What will happen next...?
