The Mega Man: Legend

Ch. 36 Run Run Rockman

Heh. Heh. You get it?

The title? Play on the lyrics of the 1958 Rock and Roll Christmas song Run Rudolph Run?

Anyone?

...I thought it was pretty good.

Alright, joke's on me, it seems. Apparently I can't possibly find an image with a short enough URL that Wattpad will let me put it in. It's really freakin' annoying, but I guess what can you do...

I can put the URL in anyway so you guys can still access the picture. SUCK IT, Wattpad.

Alright, whatever, let's just do this.

Quick Man smiled. "Don't be ridiculous, you're not racing against me. I would finish four times before you made it a quarter of the way."

I sighed. "Glad to see you're being realistic."

He ignored me. "So to make it fair, I'll just give you a time limit. Flash told me you like those." He gave me a wink.

I tried not to react, and simply kept my mouth shut.

"You'll have to beat the time limit to face me again. But we'll make this quicker, I think. Flash Man had more distractions for you." He pulled out a boomerang and proceeded to clean it.

I frowned. "Alright, so what do I-"

"Go." Quick Man sped over to me to whisper the word in my ear before disappearing just as quickly.

I sighed. "Right."

I ran forward, reaching a small drop which took me lower. From there, I found myself looking down. The ground zigzagged up and down much like a set of bleachers, with a significantly lower platform below me leading to a higher one. Glancing down into the first drop, I found a small machine lying on the ground. I jumped down next to it, right as a thin gray robot popped out of the machine, directly towards me.

I barely jumped out of the way, and then the machine produced another robot. They seemed to simply pop out and move in place, likely equipped with some kind of electrical shock.

I jumped out of the pit that was quickly becoming crowded, and up to the next platform. Below me was yet another machine, but on one side of it, the ground simply dropped off. It was likely that was where I was supposed to go.

I carefully performed a short jump to clear the machine, landing just beyond it. I hurried off the ledge, and found a long corridor awaiting me. As I ran through a series of stair-like platforms on the ground, I noticed the lights starting to dim. Unsure of what to think, I kept moving, hoping that I would notice all the changes in the ground before I encountered them.

I jumped over one ledge, and found a large robot emitting a lot of light. At further observation, it turned out to be burning a fire in its head, which was shaped a lot like a teacup. It had somewhat short arms and legs, and stood idly on top of a small platform, probably waiting for me.

I carefully put myself on the same level as the robot, then rapid fired several shots into it. The machine blew up, which was good. Then the darkness returned, which was not good.
