Megaman: Reboot

Shocking guts

After looking back and forth several times around the facility, Rock approached the power plant facility, one of the largest in Monsteropolis. The scarred sign of "O.D.A Electronics" welcomed him as he opened the door. Elecman was possibly here, along with someone else due to the heavy equipment crushed and tossed around.

The path to Elec wasn't that hard, aside from having to avoid tiny little Mettools on the ladders. Rock remembered using the tiny robots as construction hats whenever he was with Dr. Light, but here they were becoming a mild nuisance. So much he accidently pushed some off to the floor, where he would promptly apologize. When he reached the end of the hallway, he was greeted by the same door, and with a push, he barely manage to get inside.

The room was big just like Cut's, aside from untouched crates and the pipes surging with electricity. But as Rock took a step and readied his blaster, a bolt of lightning crashed down at his face, only barely missing. A hand grabbed him by the neck, throwing him into a larger fist. The shock barely dawned on Rock before the two robot masters stood over him.

"Haha, guess you should've stayed home, huh brat?" Gutsman grinned while Elecman only rolled his eyes.

"When I felt Cutman's signal disappear, I thought it was by the humans. But to be defeated by a small helpless child playing hero, that is just sad." He scoffed.

"Cut...can be repaired. And you can too Elec, you need to come with me." Rock gave a weak smile staggering to his feet. Just behind his back, he was keeping a pair of scissors behind him. Gutsman grabbed him by the hair, causing the pain sensors in Rock's head to spike. He squirmed frantically trying hard to get out of his grip.

"Oh, like I'm ever coming with you. You killed Cutman, and you expect me to give in like that? Not happening kid." The square jawed robot growled. Before he could do anything, Elec grabbed Rock himself, electricity crackling between their faces.

"I think I know what will both of us happy. How about a nice static shock to the brain, frying his body to pieces? What do you say? I think we'll both be delighted to hear his shrieks." He smiled, and Rock's core nearly stopped. Cut's I.C chip was in his arm, if the electricity fried it, Cutman would get killed instantly, and they wouldn't even know! Guts chuckled behind him.

"Actually, that sounds better. Do it Elecman."

In a split second, Rock flicked his arm and a pair of scissors lodged into Elec's shoulder. The robot master yelled before falling on his back. "AGH!"

"You-" Guts tried to grab Rock, only for the little robot to run under him and going in circles. He could hear an angry Gutsman attempting to catch, Elec trying to pull the scissors out of him. With another hand flick, the scissors came out of the electric robot's body.

"Gotta run, gotta run, gotta run!" Rock was whispering to himself, still avoiding both Elec's attacks and Guts chasing him.

"Stop running!"

"Hold him still. I'll finish it quickly." Elec readied his attack, and the surrounding area crackled with energy. Suddenly, an idea came to Rock and he went under Guts once again, standing in front of Elecman with arms stretched out.

I am REALLY going to regret this. "Hey Elec, would you even be able to git me? You already look damaged enough, I don't think the electricity can hold your massive ego." Rock called out.

Praise to Dr. Light if he can somehow repair me from this, he let out his final thought. In a split second, Rock ducked as lightning grazed his cheek.

"Got you n-" Guts was cut off as the beam of electricity hit his body, shocking every wire in his body. He screamed in pain, convulsing from overload as the power was suddenly blacked out. Rock couldn't see anything, only hearing a heavy object, who he presumed to be Gutsman, falling to the floor. He fumbled around in the dark, trying to find his footing.

"Elec?" He called out. Was it possible his sibling short circuit himself? He finally seemed to grab hold of Guts body, leaning against it. He grazed his hands through the large gaping hole the electricity hit, jagged and blown outward. Suddenly, there a light appearing on the body, reflecting into Rock's eyes. When he leaned in to the reflection, he saw a figure standing right over him.

Turning around as quickly as he could, he jumped out of the way as a frustrated Elec zapped the ground. Admits the black he stood, yellow and blue electricity lighting up his body. His harsh blue eyes stared as he walked forward. Rock staggered back, he needed to know where he was, but he couldn't see. Not a single thing except the robot who was making a light show.

He tried shooting Elec, only leaving minor dents in his armor. The electricity danced as they dashed around and hitting each other. Avoiding one bolt after another, Rock was getting better at this. But when he was in Elec's line of sight, he couldn't land a hit. He ran as far away from the light as possible. He ran around to the back, trying to stay away from Elec's sight.

"Trying to hide huh? Here, let me light your path." He murmured before his entire body surged with electricity. Finding his opportunity, Rock jumped to avoid it and threw the scissors at Elec. The blades plunged into his back, and Elec went still before falling. 

"Rock, are you alright?"Dr. Light's voice came through the intercom.

"Hey Dr. Light, I just got through Elec and Gutsman. I...I'm going to grab their chips and come back to you. I need a repair." Rock said while panting. It really felt like his own core was overheating, Elec must've done a number on him.

"Alright then, but take it easy okay? I'll get the lab ready and let Roll know you're on the way."

"And also get ready to build more robots," Rock smiles as he two more I.C chips in the compartment, "Because we got half of our family back."

Somehow, Rock just knew that his father was smiling on the other side.

Dr.Wily was messing with the computer, looking over his shoulder at the robot laying on his table. Just barely did a smile appear on his face.

"Just a few more calibrations, and you'll be ready." He said to the robot, despite it being unconcious.

The robot was up to shoulder height with Wily, with a short yellow helmet with three little spikes. He had blue metal skin, over it was a yellow chest plate and yellow robotic boots.

Wily looked over the feed of what was happening at Monsteropolis. Dr. Light should be getting bombarded by the news and officials at this point. Wily couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of his former friend being humiliated.

This is what you deserve Thomas, the doctor thought. After pushing me to the side so many times, it's only right you understand the feeling.

Dr. Wily looked at the robot on the table again. "But first, get you finished."

While watching Dr. Lights fall was amusing, Wily had to admit it felt lonely at his castle. He started building this little guy about a few months ago, just so he could have someone to talk to. 

Suddenly the computer started to go crazy, Wily clicked on the notification. The computer listed in bold letters;

DLN. 003, 004, and 008 have been disabled.

"What? H-How is this possible? Who did this?" Dr. Wily gasped. As he looked through the footage, he caught a glimpse of a little blue robot taking down Cutman and Elecman. 

"Who in the world is this, part of the police? The government? He dares to step in my plans?" Wily couldn't help but frown at this. He clicked on a button and leaned in to let his voice be heard.

"006, 007, 005, it appears we have some company. Some little robot is coming your way and has already taken care of three of your brethren. You must defeat him before he manages to reach me!" And just like that, he cut the transmission and moved the table with a robot, pulling up blueprints for a strange creature with a single eye.

"Sorry, I guess you'll have to wait for a few moments. I have to make some preparations for a little pest."
