Rock & Roll
Chapter 19 : Regard the Unusual
*Music Starts : Challenges (Megaman 10)*
Roll activates the weapon data 'Leaf Shield', her dress and boots changed in color— while all the red color on her dress and boots transformed to deep green color, her dark blue sleeves and her boots' cuffs changed to white color.
The blonde girl fetch a deep breath before she made a dash towards the male teenager, her Buster ready to launch an attack.
The black-haired teenager smirks as he watched the blonde robot girl brought up her Buster, pointing it to him.
"Take... this!" Roll cried out, launching four metal leaves in a form of a ring towards the male teenager.
The black-haired teenager expected the attack, however. He quickly jumped back and ducked beneath Roll's 'Leaf Shield', much to the blonde girl's shock.
"My turn!" the black-haired teenager said aloud, attempting to slash Roll.
Roll reacted quickly by sliding on the ground, getting up and bend down a second later to avoid another of the male teenager's attack.
"Wow! You're pretty fast!" the male teenager commented with a smirk, swinging his sword again, just missing Roll by an inch. "Heh! As I expected from a robot!"
"Your attitude really annoys me to no end!" Roll exclaimed, shooting another ring made by four metal leaves, which dodged by the male teenager just in time. "Now I see why people wouldn't go near you when you're in your 'fighting mode'— you're so eager to battle anyone if that 'mode' of yours is 'turned on'!"
"Eh, I take that as a compliment," the male teenager cackled with a smirk. "But sorry, girl! Your conclusion about my 'fighting mode' is very wrong!"
Roll gritted her teeth, wondering what the black-haired teenager really meant by his 'fighting mode'. Then, as she noticed 'Leaf Shield' couldn't match the male teenager who unexpectedly sharp-eyed, the blonde robot girl decides to try another weapon.
Switching the active weapon data to 'Solar Blaze', Roll's dress and boots changed in color once again— where all the green color on her dress and boots transformed to yellow color, while her white sleeves and her boots' cuffs changed in color to deep orange.
"G-Guess I'll have to do this the hard way then!" Roll cried out, launching two fiery waves to the left and right from her Buster before she commands the 'waves' to flew to the black-haired male teenager.
The male teenager gasped lightly, stepping to the side just in time to avoid the two fiery waves.
"Whoa! Fire...?" the male teenager muttered, looking up to Roll with a smirk. "Heh! About time you finally getting serious!" In his last statement, he dashed to Roll, his sword ready in position.
"Honestly, I don't how to beat you, you know?!" Roll exclaimed, avoiding the male teenager's swing. She then fires two fiery waves to the male teenager, only to get it avoided by him.
"Why?" the black-haired male teenager inquired, swinging his sword again, which manage to make small torn on Roll's left sleeve. "Is it because I'm not serious yet?"
"N-No! Not that!" Roll yelled, teeth grinding together. "I-It's about—!"
"—time I'm getting serious to you!" the male teenager cut off, suddenly putting his sword back to his scabbard as he jumped back far enough from Roll. Then, much to the blonde girl's shock, she detects a huge amount of energy came from the male teenager...
At the sideline, Megaman also detects the huge energy from the male teenager. Before the Blue Bomber could find out why, suddenly, something unexpected happens...
Pointing his right index finger forward, trails of light blue energy began to appear around the male teenager's right hand before a small laser beam was executed from the tip of his right index finger, shocking both Roll and Megaman.
"W-What the—?!" Roll was abruptly cut off as the small laser beam went through her right shoulder, making her pain sensors tingling like crazy.
"A-AAAHH!" the blonde robot girl fell to her knees, holding her damaged shoulder with her left hand as she hissed in pain.
"R-ROLL!" Megaman yelled in frantic, and was about to run to his sister's side when Roll spoke.
"D-... Don't interfere just yet, Megaman!" Roll exclaimed, slowly pushing herself to her feet. "I... I can beat this guy!"
"B-But my scanner said that the laser beam contains some radioactive waves, Roll!" Megaman said aloud, looking worried. "T-Those weren't good for your systems! R-Roll, please! Let me—!"
"NO, MEGAMAN!" the blonde robot girl cried out, startling the Blue Bomber. "STAY OUT OF THIS!"
Roll switches back to her 'normal mode', her dress and boots' color returned to normal.
"Man! I though this battle would be more challenging!" the black-haired male teenager said with a huff, one hand placed to his hip. "Seriously, why are you holding back, girl? I thought you're super annoyed with me!"
Roll glared to the male teenager, her teeth grinding together. "... You seriously don't know why?" she muttered, moving her right hand to her back. "And here I thought you would know..."
Moving her right hand from her back, Roll now had her trademark red broom in her right grasp, which made the male teenager stare at her in confusion— as he wondered where the blonde girl kept her broom that she could summon it at will.
"... Why don't you remember?" Roll said, her eyes still filled with anger, but a small frown plastered on her face now.
The sudden change of his enemy's attitude made the male teenager feel something's wrong. "R-... Remember what?"
Roll just silent at the question, lowering her head. Then, as she fetch a deep breath, she brought her head back up and suddenly dashed towards the black-haired male teenager.
Shocked, the black-haired male teenager quickly summoned his mysterious light blue energy to create multiple throwing stars. With a loud cry, he threw the energy-made throwing stars to Roll in hope to prevent her from getting near him.
Unfortunately for the male teenager, Roll expected the attack, using her unexpectedly strong broom to throw the energy-made throwing stars away from her.
"I want to beat you SO badly... but at the same time, I CAN'T!" the blonde girl yelled, finally arrives before the shocked male teenager. "Don't you get it...? Even when I accept your challenge, I can't, and will never be the victor!"
Raising her broom, Roll shouted the next words, which made the black-haired male teenager froze in shock...
"Rule number one from Three Laws of Robotics; 'A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm'!"
The black-haired male teenager heard Roll let out a loud cry before she swung her broom to his feet. And the male teenager, having lost his focus, could only utter out a cry of pain once his back made contact on the hard, grassy ground.
*Music Ends*
Roll panted heavily, dropping her broom to the ground. Her blue eyes filled with fear as she let herself fell to her knees.
"I-I... I've harmed you... I-I've harmed a human..." Roll lowered her head, bringing her hands to her head as she looked like on the verge of tears. "I-I... I can't live anymore... I-I..."
The male teenager kept on his laying position on the ground, couldn't bring himself to see the stressed blonde robot girl.
He let out a loud sigh. "I'm sorry... I forgot about those laws."
Pushing himself to a seated position, the male teenager finally have the courage to look at Roll. "You're still okay to live, alright? Even with those metal leaves, fire, and your broom... You actually mean no harm to me."
He then looked up to Megaman, who seems uneasy after everything the Blue Bomber saw.
"What kind of robot are you two...? You two have emotions and free wills like a real human does..." the male teenager sighs. "Your creator must be an expert, serious yet kind one... I should have known not all robots are unemotional..."
The black-haired teenager got up to his feet. "A-Alright then... C-Can we forget about this battle and be... y-you know, friends? That sounds much better than us being enemies..."
Megaman and Roll gasped in surprise, looking at the black-haired teenager right in the eye.
"To start off, let's introduce ourselves!" the black-haired male teenager said with a wide grin, his spirited voice instantly erasing the tense moment that lingered in the air a moment ago. "The name's Prometheus, and I'm 14 years old! What's yours...?"
Chuckling lightly, Roll wipes away the tears that manage to went out her eyes, slowly getting up to her feet.
"My name is Roll," the blonde robot girl introduced herself, and noticed Megaman walked to her side.
"This is my older brother Rock," Roll introduced her blue-armored brother to the black-haired male teenager— named Prometheus. "But at this form, he was known as Megaman."
"Eh...? So he got... uh..." Prometheus scratches his head, thinking. But a few seconds later, he snapped his fingers. "Ah, I remember! The name is 'civilian form', right?"
"Yes, it is," Megaman said with a nod, a small smile on his face.
Prometheus frowns a bit. "You know..." he began, looking at Roll right in the eye, "I-I'm sorry for the damage I gave to your shoulder... That should have hurt a lot."
"Ah, t-that's right! Speaking of it," Megaman said, "how did you summon those energy and control it as you wish?"
Prometheus gasped at the question, choose to stay silent as he lowered his head. But a moment later, he looked up, sky blue eyes fixed to Megaman's bright green ones.
"Uh... W-Well..." the black-haired male teenager began, but stopped when suddenly, Roll lose her footing and fall backwards, much to his and Megaman's surprise.
"R-ROLL!" Megaman quickly caught his falling sister, looking frantic. "A-Are you alright...?"
"Nggg... Y-Yeah. J-Just a bit dizzy..." Roll said with a weak groan, holding her head with one hand. "I-It looks like the... r-radioactive waves you mentioned before... b-began to take its toll on me, Megaman..."
A gasp of surprise escaped Prometheus and Megaman's mouth.
"I-I'm so sorry!" Prometheus apologized, saying it quite loudly. "I-I don't know the attack would give such a huge, bad effect!"
In frantic, the black-haired male teenager shifted his gaze to Megaman. "W-What should we do now?!"
"I-I'm sure Dad could do something for this problem!" Megaman said, scooping the weakened Roll up into his arms.
"'Dad'...? Y-You mean your creator, right...? Who is it?"
"Yes, Prometheus. My creator and father is Dr. Thomas Light!"
Prometheus seems surprised at the mention of the name. "T-... Thomas Light?"
"Huh?"
"N-Nothing!" Prometheus replied quickly, waving his arms around. "A-Anyway... Megaman, right? You don't mind allowing me to come with you, right?"
Megaman gave the male teenager a confused look. "Huh? Uh... S-Sure. Grab onto me."
Prometheus gave a wide smile to the Blue Bomber. "Great! Thanks, Megaman!"
Prometheus placed his left arm atop Megaman's right shoulder, giving the Blue Bomber a nod.
Nodding back, Megaman looked up, his body slowly materialized to a blue light before he, Roll, and Prometheus were gone from the place in a beam of blue light...
Goodie! More allies for Megaman, Roll, and the others! What will happen next...?
Stay tuned for the next Chapter~! ^^-
