I hope Megaman fanfics are allowed on a Sonic forum. XD

Prologue: A New Adventure Begins

It had been another rough day in the life of a loner. Protoman, after having accompanied Megaman, Bass and Duo on another mission to stop Dr. Wily, sat on a large stone gazing into the pond in the backyard of Dr. Light's house. Megaman was in the lab with Roll being repaired, Bass returned with Wily to one of his fortresses, and Duo returned to his home planet. Protoman was lost in thought. "I don't belong here", he said to himself. "I'm unbeatable. I don't need the empty promises of a madman to hold me back. I'll prove my power to both those idiot scientists: my accursed fathers."
"Protoman.", said a familiar voice. it was Dr. Light. "What do you want...father?", asked Protoman in a sarcastic voice. "Protoman, your body as acquired a fatal defect from a lack of maintainence. If I don't do something then you'll..."
"Save it, doc.", said Protoman coldly. "But only I can help you as I am your creator!", said Dr. Light. "You remember something, Light, I'm unbeatable! I've got things to do, so I'll see you later" "Wait! Protoman! Let's live in peace! Let's live together again! Please!" Dr. Light's pleas fell on deaf ears as Protoman walked out of sight.

Meanwhile in Dr. Wily's Lab....

"Why do you oppose me, your creator!", asked Dr. Wily angrily. "Because I don't need you! I can beat Megaman no problem, but you interfere with me! How about you go crawl in a whole somewhere, you crackpot!", said Bass. "Pffft! It doesn't matter to me what you do! You're just an accident, and accidents can always be corrected!", exclaimed Dr. Wily. "Wha..." Bass tried to cut in, but Wily continued. "You were designed as my version of Megaman! While you were nothing more than a blueprint, I discovered a black material called Bassnium, which is currently the most powerful energy source in the world! But that's not for long, for I have learned from my mistake!"

A large door opened revealing a workbench with the body of a long-haired, red armored robot on it.

"What you see before you, Bass, is the strongest robot in the world!" "This girly-haired robot will be the strongest?! Yeah right!", exclaimed a surprised Bass. Treble walked in and growled at the incomplete robot. "Don't be so cocky, my pompous creation. This machine is more powerful than you or Megaman combined! With this and my other project complete, the world will be mine! Mwahahahahaha!" "This guy is crazier than I thought! Come on, Treble!", said Bass in disgust. He had had enough. "I guess it's time to send them out...and her too!", said Wily after Bass had left.

Later that night...

Protoman had been sitting on that cliff for hours, just watching the horizon change color with the setting sun. The city lights shown like an abyss of stars, some twinkling and some being snuffed out. He had no idea what to do with himself. He knew he would die eventually no matter how many nuclear cores Wily installed in him. He was terminally ill, and there was no cure for his disease. Within the starry abyss that was the city of Monsteropolis a supernova had taken place. At least, that's what a stargazer would have said.
The night was no longer tranquil. Where there was silence, screams replaced it. An explosion had destroyed the center of the city and robots where running amok. Protoman, knowing he was going to die, jumped into the abyss. If he, like many stars before him, was going to be snuffed out, he was going out with a bang!

Chapter 1: Brothers in Arms

Bass needed to just get away from it all. He couldn't stand it any longer! He knew he could beat Megaman, but for some reason he hadn't been able to. Not only that, but Wily was making a robot he claimed to be stronger than him and it had girly-hair. What kind of super-strong robot has girly-hair?! If only he knew.
He just needed to walk it off with his trusted partner Treble. The loyal robot dog marched at his master's side down the streets of Monsteropolis listening to his irate mumbling. "Curse that old man! Thinking he can make a robot stronger than me! I'll show him!" Treble whimpered and, hoping to get his master's attention, scratched at his leg. The only time he had seen Bass upset was after a loss to Megaman. Seeing him this angry at a seemingly pointless thing had the faithful canine concerned.
"There, there Treble.", said Bass in an almost uncharacteristically soothing tone, "It'll be all right." Treble enjoyed the complimentary scratch-behind-the-ear treatment he was getting. His voice soon turned into anger. "It'll be all right just as soon as I tear the motherboard out of Megaman's chest plating!" "Aww, is my big brother mad?", said an unfamiliar female voice. "Who the blazes are you?", asked Bass, shocked at being called "Brother". "Don't you know your own little sister?" Treble began to growl as the female figure emerged from the shadows. Her body resembled Protoman's, except she didn't have a helmet on or a shield. She had dark green hands and legs, her torso was a light seaweed green and a dark green scarf. Beautiful long, purple hair danced in the breeze and came to rest by her shoulder blades.
She sported an evil grin as she taunted Bass. "The name's Serenade, brother, and I'm taking your place as Wily's right hand man! I'm going to prove that you are obsolete...jsut by doing this." She jumped onto a small building, raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Almost instantly, a red orb fell from the sky onto the distant city hall. Flames erupted and robots appeared out of nowhere in a flash flood of metal and chaos. Serenade pulled a small, green saber out of her belt. With seemingly no effort at all she sliced a larger building and jumped onto a larger one. The building collapsed like a tree in the forest, except this time everyone was there to hear it make a noise.
Bass and Treble dashed from under the falling building just in time. Serenade looked down at them with an evil glow in her eyes and an evil grin on her face. "So, it's a challenge you want eh? Well then! If you think you can stop me, then see if you can get through my army!" With that she jumped out of sight. "Fair enough, wench!", said Bass while blasting through Metool and Sniper Joes. He was on his way to city hall.

Almost as soon as he landed, Protoman was greeted by a stampeding wave of attacking robots. There was only one way to handle this situation. "GGGAAAAAHHHHHHH! PROTO STRIKE!" In almost a flash the robots were gone. It caused him such great pain using Proto Strike since it used so much energy, and he could almost feel a part of him getting weaker each time he used it. Recovering from his pain, Protoman pressed onward, but an ailing robot can only hold his own for so long. A group of Sniper Joes ganged up on Protoman and started firing. Protoman had put his shield up and heard gun shots, but discovered he was elsewhere when he emerged. The gunshots had missed him entirely and hit a weakened building, which collapsed and crushed the fleeing Sniper Joes. At his side was Megaman.
"Hehehe", chuckled Protoman, "Isn't this a twist? Usually I'm saving you!" "There's no time for reminiscing! We've got to get to city hall!", exclaimed Megaman. Protoman and Megaman raced through the city blasting through Metool, Sniper Joes and even Mad Grinders until the reached Central Park. "Well,well. I figured you'd show up if I just waited." Sitting on a swing was none other than Bass. "Bass! Are you responsible for all of this!", asked Megaman angrily. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. If you really want to know who's behind painting the town red...then you have to fight me!" "We don't have time for...!" "Shut up, you incomplete prototype!", exclaimed Bass to Protoman, "Nobody asked you! Besides, even if you don't want to fight, I do! You don't have a choice!"
"Look, we've got to...!" "Let's go!", cut in Protoman. "But, Protoman, we've got to...", said Megaman. "Bass, Let me show you just how "incomplete" I truly am!"

Tried to add some comic humor....and failed miserably. Still, it might provide some laughs.

---------------

Chapter 2: Incomplete Machine, Perfect Weapon

Protoman had never been the type of robot to jump at the chance of fighting. He had just been a quiet loner, a destinationless traveler, a soulless wanderer, a walking zombie that sought a forbidden slumber. This was different than some thug challenging him to an arm wrestling match. Something was unlocked inside of him, and Bass' words were the key to that opened the lock. Bass knew things about Protoman, things that he didn't even know. He knew it. It had to be!
"Protoman, don't!", exclaimed Megaman, "You're in no condition to fight! Besides, the city..." "The city can burn!", said Protoman, "I need to know the truth about why I exist!" Megaman didn't understand what Protoman meant. If he had any need to know something like that, he could just ask Dr. Light. Dr. Light was Protoman's creator...or was he?
"So, my incomplete brother, you really want to fight me? Hahahaha! Priceless!", mocked an overconfident Bass. Treble growled at the two challengers. He was pleased the his master was happy again and looked forward to the fight. He would enjoy it even more if his master would allow them to merge. "So long, old timer!" The two robots charged at each other with Bass hurling a volley of shots a Protoman. He finished his barrage with a jump and a cresent kick to Protoman's head, knocking him into a tree.
Megaman looked on in horror. He knew he couldn't interfere because this was Protoman's fight. "Pr..t.o" "What'd you say old timer?", mocked Bass, "I didn't get that." "Pr..t..o....STRIKE!" in almost the blink of an eye, Protoman jumped up and fired his buster at Bass, who had no time to dodge the attack. The blast knocked him off his feet and into the wall behind the swing set. Almost none of Bass's armor was left. "AAAAAUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!", bass screamed in pain, "YOU ARE NOTHING YOU INCOMPLETE FREAK!!! I WILL KILL YOU AND MEGAMAN I SWEAR IT!!!!" "Will that be before or after you retreat to Wily and beg him to repair you? Just like the girl you are!", said Protoman. Treble rushed to his master's side and together they warped out. "Well, I guess that answers that question."
City hall and the area around it was like a dance festival of flames. "Follow my lead.", said Protoman. He equipped his shield and ran through the flames until they reach a large area with no flames at all. It was like a giant crop circle amidst a crop of fire. "Well, well. It looks like you defeated my weakling brother.", said a female voice. "Although I don't appreciate the girl crack you made!" The female emerged from the flames. "Who in blazes are you?!" asked Megaman. "Is that supposed to be a joke or do you like to copy my brother, and if you didn't already figure it out by now, my brother is Bass. Although I am ashamed to admit it.", said the female, "Name's Serenade, just like the sound that these flames make combined with the screams and death cries the fill the air on a starry night. It's way past your bedtime though, but don't worry. I'll be sure to kiss you goodnight after my little friend takes care of you!"
Out of the windows of City Hall oozed a substance that looked like molten lava. The ooze congregated to a single location and formed a puddle, which then morphed into a contraption that looked like the yellow devil. "Red Devil!", said Serenade before jumping out of sight, "It's chilly tonight. Wrap them in your nice, warm lava would you?" "Bumo...bumobumo!", replied the Red Devil. "No rest for the weary", said Megaman "You got that right, little bro!", replied Protoman. Another sleepless night was about to begin.

Chapter 3: Hell Today, More Tomorrow

Megaman and Protoman, surrounded by dancing flames and faced with a colossal lava monster before them, decided on the method of attack. Megaman distracted the Red Devil with minor pellet shots, while Protoman ran behind the monster. A pincer attack would be perfect! The devil knew what they were doing, however, and had a plan of his own.
Protoman charged his weapon, as did Megaman. "Now, Mega!", shouted Protoman. The robotic brothers fired 2 charged shots on a collision course for the devil's eye, but, before the shots could make contact, the Red Devil imploded and hot lava spewed everywhere. The devil's eye was nowhere to be found. The hot lava and hard magma greatly damaged the brothers. Megaman was screaming in agony, but Protoman somehow was able to refrain from screaming. The colliding blast shots lit up the whole square, as if it needed to be lit courtesy of the inferno.
"Did we kill it?", asked a panting Megaman. Ripples in the puddle that was the remnants of the Red Devil began to quake as its mechanical eye emerged. All the lava that made the Red Devil began to reform. "Does that answer your question?", asked an unimpressed Protoman. "Look! It's been damaged!", shouted Megaman. The Red Devil had been weakened indeed. Just before it imploded, the two shots struck the devil's eye just in time, but it wasn't enough to destroy it.
"Megaman! Shoot now!", shouted Protoman. Megaman would have if he could. A large chunk of magma landed on his arm and mega buster and, since he was already weak from the previous attack, couldn't find the strength to move it. The Red Devil approached Megaman with his magma encased fist in the air. Protoman tried to get it's attention by firing at it, but the hot lava absorbed his shots. It was over of Megaman. For the first time, he was powerless and Protoman couldn't save him. Megaman bowed his head and accepted his fate.
"Is that all you got, Mega-Loser?!", shouted a familiar voice, "You never do that when you fight me!" "Bass!", shouted Megaman. "You wanna play Red Roadkill? Then let's PLAY!!!!" Bass fired a skull-shaped shot at the eye of the Red Devil. The round, red cyclops' eye blew up, leaving a large hole in the middle of the beast, and the body fell to the ground. The magma encased parts shattered and the lava seeped into the ground and disappeared, almost as if it had lost it's molten properties. The even the fire shrunk to the ground and disappeared in a large cloud of smoke. The attacking robots were gone too. The only thing left as a horrific reminder of that night was the city itself. Charred remnants of what were small businesses were on every side. Skyscrapers rose to to sky like hands in a burnt display of pleading to the gods for mercy. Rubble and bodies littered whatever street was left. It was World War II all over again.
"Bass, why did you help us?", asked a bewildered Megaman. "Didn't you hear what I was screaming in the park or was I talking to myself?", said Bass sarcastically, "I said I and only I would kill you. I'm not about to let some hot-head beat me to it!" Incomplete repair was evident, as Bass barely had any new armor on. "Whatever.", said Protoman.
"Well, let's go home!", said Megaman cheerily. "Yeah, you do that. I'll pass.", said Protoman. "No, you're coming home!", argued Megaman. "What...did...you...just...say?", asked Protoman angrily. "OOOOOOO! SMACKDOWN!", said Bass gleefully. He'd always wanted to see the two brothers fight. "I said you're coming home with me! I wanna know just what this mystery is behind your existence!", said Megaman. "Fine, but you're coming to!", said Protoman, pointing at Bass, "I wanna know everything you know!" "Alright.", said Bass, "But in exchange..." "Don't worry! Dr. Light will be happy to repair you!", said Megaman. "That's not what I was going to ask, but fine. Fair enough." With that the trio made their way home.
After they had left, a small sphere of lava from the Red Devil emerged from the ground and hovered in place for a few seconds before flying off into the air. It's destination? No one knows.

THIS was where I tried to add some comic humor, not Chapter 2. Well, hopefully, it'll provide some chuckles, at least.

------------

Chapter 4: Dances with Wolfoids

"That should do it!", said Dr. Light after having completed the repairs to the 3 robots. "Wily wastes no time in starting another rebellion.", he said with a rather cheery yet sarcastic tone. He was obviously greatly concerned and felt so much pain when this happened, but he knew something special about Wily. "At least Wily never kills anyone when he starts these revolts." He chuckled almost as if he was holding back tears. Bass felt a small twitch in his heart. Megaman and Protoman just stared at each other. Roll didn't know what was wrong with them. None of them knowing what to say until Bass finally broke the silence.
"Think again, doc.", said Bass. "What do you mean, Bass? Wily certainly isn't insane enough to...I mean, he may have ravaged the city, but...He couldn't do...He wouldn't..." Dr. Light was having trouble comming up with a solid comeback. It was true that Wily never intentionally killed anyone. Someone may accidently get in the way of an attack or maybe a piece of debris would land where someone had decided to stop and catch their breath, but it was never a serious number. This was different. "Wily is insane. He massacred almost half the city! I don't know why, but he did." Bass' heart twitched again. "Not only that, but he is also building a robot that he claims to be more powerful than any other, including me. I can't understand what the relation is between the two, but that's how it is." Dr. Light's eyes watered. It was the first time they had seen the elderly scientist cry.
The computer screen turned to static started to hiss and crack. Wily then came on the screen. It was another "threaten the world with 8 robot masters and challenge Megaman" routine Megaman was all too familiar with. "What has happened in Monsteropolis will happen to the entire world in a fashion 100 times worse unless you meet my demands!", said the mad scientist. "That was just a test for my ultimate battle robot! Think you can beat him, Megaman! Try getting through my knights first! See you at my fortress!" The transmission stopped.
"Father, which of the knights is closest to our location?", asked Protoman. "It looks like...a robot named Feral Man is in a forest hideout near here.", replied Dr. Light. "Then let's go!", said Protoman. "You're actually going to fight with me?", replied Megaman, who was shocked at the loner's request. "Don't you mean us?", said Bass, "Why so shocked, we've teamed up before." Bass then grimaced and thoguht to himself, "Hopefully this will be the last time..." "Thanks guys, I guess we're off to Deep Woods!", said Megaman. "Don't forget Rush and Beat!", said Roll, who were running toward thier blue ally. "Well call them if we need them!" , said Megaman. Roll hugged her three brothers before they left. Bass was unsure why she hugged him or why she thought of him as a brother, but it didn't really matter to him.
The Deep Woods were a thick and dense forest full of life. Tall trees provided shade and embraced each other with their long branches. Wily bots hid in the leaves and shadows of the thick-trunked trees. Bass shot at everything he saw, Protoman jumped from the tree limbs and kept out of sight, and Megaman tried not to shoot too much. He didn't want to miss and start a forest fire. He knew he'd have to answer to Smokey the Bearoid if he did. Protoman knocked the enemies of the branches, which were finished off by Megaman and Bass. "Come on, Mega dork! Shoot something!", said Bass angrily. "I just don't want to..." Before he could answer, a huge mechaniloid in the shape of a girzzley bear emerged from the darkness of the forest. "IT's Smokey the Bearoid!", cried Megaman. "What?", asked Bass and Prrotoman.
The bear clawed at the trio with huge, sharp claws and shot needles from it's mouth. Protoman had the upper hand, as he was in the trees and fired away at the mechaniloid. Robbits and batons hopped/flew in and tried to distract the trio, but were quickly taken out by Bass. Megaman Shot at the beasts red eyes, which seemed to have an effect. The machanical carnivore roared it's last when it's eyes met with Bass' charged shot. The battle with the robot had it's benefits because, due to the clearing the bearoid had made, they could see the Forest Hideout.
The forest hideout looked like it was made out of Lincoln Logs. "Aggh! If only I still had Atomic Fire! That'd make this soooo much quicker!", said Megaman, who was rather irritated at the thought. They were in a forest with no fire based weapon to use again the robot master ahead. Bass and Protoman both slapped their heads. Had Megaman gotten stupider or was he just toying with them? Only one way to find out.
The fortress was full of wooden spikes and traps of the like. Wolfoids similar to the ones found in Shademan's level were about as well. It wasn't a very big hideout, but it still posed a challenge for the trio. Finally they reached Feral Man's lair. "What are we waiting for?", asked Protoman. "Are the three of us really going to take on one robot master?", asked Megaman. "Yeah! We've been doing fine taking them on one-on-one before!", said Bass, "Why gang up now?" "We don't know what they are capable of. If Wily is truely constucting a super powerful robot, then these "Knights" may be much more pwoerful too. Let's just go!" Not seeing any real reason to question him further, they went to face Feral Man.
Feral Man had legs and arms of dark brown, but his torso was almost black with a brownish tint. his fingrs were sproting small, but sharp claws and in his right hand he held a rather long dagger that had one smaller point comming from both sides of it's base. He growled and then howled as the trio entered the room! "Three on one! That's wild! ARRROOOOOO!", said Feral Man. "I'll cut you up into nice morsels for Wily's celebration feast after he conquers the world! AAARROOOOOOOO!" "Enough of this, let's get it on wolf-boy!", said Bass. He fired a shot at him, which hit his chest. Feral Man yelped in pain before jumping around the room. His attack method was like Slashman, but much more wild. He slashed at the trio and, when he became damaged, howled, which summoned wolfoids to distract the trio.
The moon had risen, and the large metal panel that covered the room began to lift. Moonlight filled the room, and Feral Man, who was almost dead, rose to his feet and howled at the white, lunar sphere. Even though he was nearly defeated, he appeared to be powered right back up. In a wild frenzie, he charged at the trio and slashed, only to fall to his knees. "That...was...WILD!!!", he shouted. Then, as he exploded into oblivion, he howled.

Protoman Recieved - Feral Claw.
Megaman Recieved - Feral slash
Bass Recieved - Lunar Moonlight

"What happened to you guys?!", shouted Roll as she witness the horribly beat up band of brothers enter the lab. "Long story, too tired.", said Megaman. "Likewise." "What he said.", said Protoman and Bass. They had had a rough day, and all they wanted was to get their repairs and go to sleep.
