Chapter 03: Explanations & A New Home pt. 2
Date: 06/12/2008
San Francisco, California.
In the city of San Francisco was a house with a laboratory in the back. Inside said laboratory were two men in their late 60's. One of them had a grey mustache and hair that was balding, he had dark blue eyes and was wearing a dress clothes and a lab coat with a red tie. He was tall and skinny, this man was Dr. Albert Wily.
The second man was shorter and slightly wide. He had short white hair, a white beard and mustache, and bright blue eyes. He was wearing brown pants, black dress shoes, a sky-blue dress shirt, and a white lab coat, this man was Dr. Thomas Light. They were working on a new project that could change the world, forever.
"I've just finished my first prototype robot." Dr. Light said in his British accent as he lifts up a sheet, revealing a boy-like machine. It had pale skin, brown hair, and grey eyes. The top part of its arms and legs, along with its torso were a plain gray, the lowest parts of its arms and legs, along with the waist part of its torso were a simple red. "If he works Dr. Wily, this will just be the first of many."
Dr. Wily walked over and spoke in his German accent, "Yeah, the world of robots."
"Together, we can create hundreds of industrial and domestic robots." Thomas spoke as they walked over to a sheet of blueprints. "Construction robots, mining robots, marine robots! And all to help mankind."
They then walked over to the prototype with a remote in Dr. Light's hand. "Now for the big moment." He pressed the button and the robot looked around before walking forward.
"It's working Dr. Light!" Wily exclaimed as they watched the prototype.
Suddenly the robot broke through a wall and kept walking. "Something must be wrong!" Dr. Light exclaimed as they ran over to the wall to see the prototype tearing apart a large machine. "Stop! I command you to stop!" Dr. Light ordered the rogue prototype, but it ignored him.
"It doesn't obey!" Dr. Wily says as it keeps tearing out parts before part of the machine falls on it. Both doctors run over to the broken robot.
"There must be a problem with his computer guidance system. We'll have to rebuild this prototype." Dr. Light said.
Wily did not agree with the problem. "But I programmed the system Dr. Light. It must be something else." "
No, I'm sure it's the guidance system. We must destroy the plans and start over."
Wily said with a not-so happy look, "Yes, of course Dr. Light. You're right as always. I'll destroy the plans."

Dr. Wily was walking through the dark lab with a flashlight, looking for the plans until he found them. "Just what I'm looking for." He says as he picks them up. "Destroy my work, will he? Not if I can help it."
Suddenly the lights turn on, and he hears Dr. Light. "What are you doing with those plans Dr. Wily? You were supposed to destroy them." He then runs over to Wily, who is looking at him.
"NEVER!" He then runs to the way he came from, carrying the plans and robot with Dr. Light after him. He pushed a large rolling table behind him, making Dr. Light fall over it. "You're just jealous of my genius. YOU probably sabotaged the guidance system, so YOU could take all the credit! Now, it's my turn to be in the spotlight."
With that, he pressed a button, bringing down a metal door and making his escape with Dr. Light banging on it. "Albert come back. You can't use those plans, they are dangerous."
XXXXXX IN TOWN XXXXXX
Inside of a dim building with rats was Dr. Wily in his own makeshift lab with chemicals and tools. "Let's make fun of me, let's laugh. Nobody knows the genius I am. Even when I was a little boy, other children never understood me. I never even had toys like the other kids." He said as he walked over to the robot that he upgraded.
The robot was 6'00" and had more muscle. The grey parts of him were now graphite, his red parts were crimson, and his chest plates were ruby red. He had on a crimson helmet with white ports on either side of it and a black-tinted visor with a white outlining around it. He also wore a saffron yellow scarf. His left chest plate was open as Wily was finishing his upgraded creation.
"Well now I'll build all the toys I want. Robot toys! And I'll control them." He grabbed a welder. "Humans are imperfect, robots are so much...superior. My robots will be made to supervise mankind." He then finished welding. "Under my command."
XXXXXX 3 MONTHS LATER XXXXXX
"I think I've finally worked out all the bugs." Dr. Light said as he looked at his new species of robot that he called 'Reploids'.
His body was entirely human except for his legs, which were midnight blue. He wore blue shorts, a blue tee-shirt, and a crimson bandana. He had sapphire blue eyes, tan skin, and thick brown hair that had blue highlights and cerulean frosted tips. He was at least 6'01"
"I'll call him 'Rock' my new Reploid prototype." He then pulls out a remote and pushes a button. "Now let's see if he works."
The sound of machinery turning on filled the room and slowly faded as Rock opened his eyes and slowly looked at his creator and spoke. "Hello, my name is Rock. Who are you?"
"My name is Dr. Thomas Light. I built you Rock."
"So in a way, you're my father?" The Reploid asked.
"In a sense, I am." Dr. Light answered.
Rock got up and looked at a mirror. "I look human."
"Yes. And I programmed you to feel like one." Dr. Light said.
"I like that." Dr. Light smiled at his enthusiasm.
"Come Rock." They both walked to a lowered door. Dr. Light said "Look, I built this Reploid to help out with problems. Her name is Roll."
The door lifted and revealed a Reploid that looked like a human girl. She was 5'09", had a C-cup chest, and had sapphire blue eyes like him. She also had long flowing blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a crimson sundress, ruby red sneakers, and a necklace with a gold heart pendant on it. Her skin was slightly paler than his and her left arm had a white gauntlet on it. Dr. Light pressed a button and activated her, her eyes slowly opening. Rock walked over to greet her.
"Hello, I'm Rock."
She shook his hand and responded. "I'm Roll."
Dr. Light smiled. "We're like one big happy family. And the two of you are going to help me as I create a whole new world."
He pressed a button and opened one of three doors. Behind the first door was a Reploid the same height as Rock. His chest, arms, legs, and feet were white while its head, knees, waist, gauntlets, eyes, and the bottom of its feet were maroon. Where the gauntlets and arms met was chrome colored. On the top of its head was a chrome pair of scissors. "This is Cut-Man. A logging Reploid whose scissors are made of an indestructible titanium alloy that can cut through almost anything."
He opened the second door, and revealed another Reploid. It was 7'00" tall and had sky-blue eyes. His head resembled a yellow and black safety helmet with a red reflector on the front. His shoulders, gauntlets, waist, and knees were red, his arms, legs, and midsection were yellow. His feet were grey with a blue line across them. His chest was black with a red light in it. "This is Guts-Man, a construction Reploid, he possesses enormous strength."
He opened the final door and revealed the final one. He was the same height as Cut-Man, had human skin on his face, and had ice-blue eyes that were covered in snow goggles. His body was covered in a deep cerulean blue snow coat, minus his legs, with a titanium belt around him. His knees were ice-blue and his feet were gray. His ice-blue hands resembled gloves and had holes in his palms. His hood had white fur in it, you could even see some snow white hair on his head. "This one is Ice-Man. He can freeze anything with his 'Ice Slasher' beam."
Roll looked amazed at them, "Just think of all the great things they can do to help mankind."
Dr. Light nodded. "Yes. But it's late, and time for young robots to get to bed." They all exited the lab
XXXXXX LATER THAT NIGHT XXXXXX
A red light shined through the lab. A hole formed as a robot with a large shield on his back melted the wall with his arm in a cannon form. He walked into the lab with Dr. Wily following. "The three robots are in the next room." Dr. Wily whispered.
Proto-Man ripped off a metal door and revealed the three Reploids, Cut-Man, Guts-Man, and Ice-Man. "Magnificent. Oh, they will do nicely as the first in my army."
The lights turned on. "Dr. Wily! What are you doing back here?"
They turned around and saw Dr. Light, Rock, and Roll. "Just settling an old score." Wily said.
Roll realized what he was up to. "Dr. Light, they're going to take the Reploids!"
Rock ran and jumped at them. "Not if I can help it."
They moved in time as Rock crashed into the Reploids. After a few seconds, the Reploids got up. "Stop them my Reploids." Dr. Light ordered.
Dr. Wily shoved him out of the way. "No Dr. Light, they will obey ME!" He then scanned them and the three were basked in a purple glow for a few seconds.
Guts-Man then spoke. "We obey you, Dr. Wily."
"He's reprogrammed them. I'll stop you myself." Roll said as she jumped onto Proto-Man.
After a while, Proto-Man grabbed her and threw her at Rock. Guts-Man them picked them up.
"Take them to my lair." Dr. Wily ordered him. Dr. Light was held against a wall by Ice-Man.
"You let them go now!" Dr. Light demanded.
"Oh, I think not. They will make perfect additions to my collection of robots. And I wouldn't try anything Dr. Light. If you do, Ice-Man will freeze you. Show the doctor, Ice-Man." Ice-Man lets Dr. Light go and blasts a torrent of ice and snow at a table, freezing all the chemicals on it. "If you try and follow, then let Cut-Man show you what he'll do to you."
Cut-Man grabs the scissors off of his head and throws it at the frozen chemicals, cutting them straight in half before they shatter. The scissors fly back to Cut-Man like a boomerang, he catches it and places it back on his head. They then walk out the hole with Rock and Roll in tow.
"No!" He runs outside to see them fly away. He heard some beeping, he looked at his feet and saw his medical and repair robot Doc. "Yes I know, but why would he need them? And what are they going to do with them?"
XXXXXX DR. WILY'S DESERT LAIR XXXXXX
His fortress was enormous(I'm not going to describe it, watch the cartoon). "Well, how do you like my new fortress Rock?" Both Rock and Roll were strapped to metal tables, unable to move. "Now, I will be able to get all of the good robots that Dr. Light built, and reprogram them to turn against mankind."
"But that's not right." Rock said.
"Oh my, he's right Proto-Man, I'm a 'bad scientist'." Dr. Wily said sarcastically before insanely laughing.
Proto-Man then spoke, "Hey, you should be happy Rock. You and I are brothers. We were built from the same plans. Let Dr. Wily reprogram you and join us in our quest to control mankind." Rock answered.
"No way. Count me out."
Dr. Wily then walked over to Rock with a tool in his hand. "A little tug here, a little slice there, and you'll feel differently about this."
"Hold it, Dr. Dickhead(watch episode one, it literally sounds like she said that)!" Roll said to stop him.
"It's Dr. Wily!"
"Not in my universe, jack!"
He then walked over to Roll with the tool. "You'll be a pleasure to rewire."
"WAIT, STOP!"
He looked over at Rock. "And why should I stop?" He asked him.
"Only if you want to live. Dr. Light also built super warrior Reploids, and they're on their way here to rearrange your ugly anatomy." He looked at Proto-Man. "They're mean machines and almost unbeatable, almost."
Dr. Wily then thought out loud. "Hmm, robots can't lie. He MUST be telling the truth! But why didn't I know about these other robots? Is there a way to stop them?" He asked Rock.
"Let us go and I'll show you."
"Proto-Man, unstrap him." Proto-Man did so and Rock got up.
"Thanks doc."
"Now, tell me how to stop those 'Reploids'."
"Simple, first you grab hold of one of these, like this." Rock grabbed hold of a large machine with wheels. "And then you shove it at them, like THIS!" He then spins it around shoves it at them, knocking them into a wall and causing a few large cables to fall on them. "See, works every time."
Dr. Wily struggled to break free. "You tricked us. But...but robots can't lie!"
Rock then pressed a button and freed Roll. "I think we overstayed our welcome. Let's get out of here."
"Get us out of this!" Wily ordered Proto-Man as he turned on his blaster and melted through the cables. "Now, STOP THEM!" Proto-Man fired shots at them as they climbed into a hovercraft and flew off.
XXXXXX DR. LIGHTS LAB XXXXXX
They had explained to Light what happened and how they escaped. "It was your human emotions that helped you escape Rock. But...there's still a grave problem. Dr. Wily and Proto-Man will be back and there is only one way to stop them. We need to create a new Reploid, one that can defeat Wily and his robots. But it would take too long. By the time it would be complete, Dr. Wily would've won." Dr. Light and Roll closed their eyes.
"Upgrade me." They both looked at Rock.
"W-what?" Dr. Light asked his robotic son in disbelief.
"Upgrade me. I'll take them down. No matter what, I'll never give up."
Dr. Light thought for a while before looking at him. "Let's do it."
XXXXXX 12 HOURS LATER XXXXXX
Dr. Light spent the last 12 hours taking Rock apart and rebuilding him, adding armor and weapons. He finally added in his crimson bandana and put on a helmet with a communications device and police radio. "He's amazing Dr. Light." Roll said in amazement.
Rock then opened his eyes and looked at himself in a mirror. "Wow, I look amazing."
"Now Rock in your arms are a machine called a 'Mega-Blaster'. With them you can shoot plasma beams and charge-shots. You also have a special data-chip that will allow you to copy and steal other robots' abilities and powers. But do not use both Mega-Blasters at the same time, it could overheat your systems and possibly kill you. Give it a try." He then pointed at a large test dummy.
Rock pointed his arm at it and his arm shifted into a Mega-Blaster. He then fired a plasma shot at it and all that was left were its arms. "Whoa, these sure pack a punch." His arm shifted back.
"I've also got an added surprise for you." Dr. Light then lifted up a sheet and revealed a pure crimson robotic husky. "This is Rush. He is going to be your canine companion AND transportation." He then turned Rush on and revealed emerald green eyes. He then jumped onto Rock and began licking him.
"Hey, cut it out that tickles. Let's see what you can do." Rush then jumped into the air and transformed into several vehicles.
"Impressive." Roll said in amazement. "Hey Rock, since you're all upgraded and stuff, you should have a new name. How about...Mega Man!"
"Mega Man? I like it!"
"Ya know, we could work together to stop them. What do you think?" Roll said.
"Together? Yeah! Together, nothing could beat us."
XXXXXX THE NEXT DAY XXXXXX
Dr. Wily and the stolen Reploid's, along with two new Reploid's Dr. Wily built, Bomb-Man and Elec-Man. They were about to attack the mayor's office when a blue robot wearing a crimson bandana jumped in to stop them with Roll and a crimson Husky. "You two again."
Proto-Man jumped down to them. "So Rock, come to surrender?" He just looked at him.
"In your dreams Proto-Man. Also, Rock is no longer here. I am Mega Man." (This teenager has the ability to transform into a giant killing humanoid creature to save humanity, along his side are his adopted sister and best friend. Guess who he is.)
