Final Chapter – Capture Dr. Wily; An All-Out Free For All

Factory #3751 – 12:53 PM

I heard Wily's insane laughter echoing throughout the quiet factory. My energy levels were down to 20% and there are eight Robot Masters heading closer to finish me off. To make matters worse, Glyde and his Birdbots have joined in the fray. With whatever energy I had left, I ran toward Tron and Denise. We were really in a serious bind now but if you have been reading what's going on, here's a little recap. Pay attention folks because it's important plus you'll get an idea.

Earlier this morning, I had Higsby analyze the tape I found and discovered that it contained some algorithmic code. To make it interesting, it was the same code that I used to decrypt all the files I had earlier. But seeing Higsby made Teisel a little ticked though fortunately, they didn't go on and beat the crap out of each other. We were able to decipher all the data revealing Wily's true plan but we also discover Wily's whereabouts. He was in Factory #3751 and it was there where we can find him and put an end to this conflict.

So with a little help from Officer Marmalade (Denise, for clarity's sake), Tron and I were able to reach Factory #3751. We brought the Robot Masters along hoping that with strength in numbers, we would apprehend Wily easily. I had no idea what Wily was planning but I can tell it was trouble. We found a large transport pod that was recently built only to find that it was built by Wily. OilMan and TimeMan appeared along with Glyde and his best Birdbots. How bad can this get? Well, I took on OilMan and TimeMan but they had gotten stronger and I was in serious trouble. The Robot Masters saved my head but at an unexpected twist, GutsMan gave me a face full of fist. Hearing his sick laugh, I can tell Wily knew this would happen. He went on to say that he knew I'd kick his ass so he had the Robot Masters betray him so that when the time came, they would turn our backs and betray us. And now, here we are… eight Robot Masters heading closer toward us plus Glyde and his Birdbots have joined in. I can tell this is going to send us to hell real fast… I only wished there was some miracle out of all of this.

"Be careful with what you wish for Mega Man. It might come true. Now then, my robots… obliterate them all!" We saw the eight Robot Masters heading closer and closer. This was going to be bad but then, we saw them stop moving.

"What are you waiting for you fools? Destroy them!" Wily shouted again but the Robot Masters weren't moving. Not even OilMan and TimeMan were doing a thing. But then I saw something that literally threw me off guard.

"Can it Wily! We're going to do this our way, not yours." Hearing that from Gutsman really made him livid. We simply stood there wondering what was happening.

"You disobedient idiots!!! How dare you disobey me! When I'm done with this operation, I will have your hard drives re-rendered for this!" I can tell they didn't like that. So ElecMan basically shorted out the loudspeakers with a little jolt.

Seeing that he can't give out orders really made him pissed. But my only question is why they would do this. I checked my energy reserves and it's already down at 15%. Tron got off the Gustaff to help me up with Denise assisting. We all saw the Robot Masters stand there not engaging us. Glyde was perplexed seeing them disobey Wily like that. Now I really had to know.

"What's wrong? Don't like listening to Wily's crap? I don't blame you one bit." I said with a desperate tone. The loss of energy made me lose my balance.

"It's not that blue boy. We just don't want him sheathing in our conflict."  Battle? What battle? I really don't know what you're talking about CutMan.

"That's right. We've come for you ya little rascal. Besides, it's only fair we take you down in the only way possible." FireMan said but then TimeMan and OilMan got curious.

"Excuse me gentlemen… but what do you mean by this?" TimeMan responded but this only led to just one response.

"The answer is simple. Mega Man, we challenge you… to Mortal Kombat!" said IceMan and his words got the other Robot Masters all rowdy and ready.

"Oh-kay… Mortal Kombat? Are you serious?" Tron said looking at me with a perplexed face. I simply just said this. "I'm not kidding. I dealt with this before." I ain't kidding because I really did.

"These guys getting excited over challenging you to a fighting game? I swear, their personality circuits need a bit of work." Denise replied. TimeMan really didn't like the idea though OilMan was down with that.

"This is going to be awesome! Eight against one in Mortal Kombat! Ya get it, TimeMan? This is going to be awesome!" OilMan was constantly being all happy but I know this wound-up gear head doesn't like the idea.

"Get off me! We have orders to carry out and it is to destroy Mega Man! This insipid challenge goes against our prime directive. We should be rid of that pest but instead we get this." He shows OilMan the other Robot Masters who want to get it on. OilMan simply seems pleased with it.

"Lighten up, Tropy. We're going to get rid of him anyway. Besides, don't you think we should have a little fun for once? So come on, let's go! Let's take down this pest in Mortal Kombat and I know how to do it." OilMan joins with the others. TimeMan just lets off a facepalm.

"Are you guys done with your antics? If we're going to do battle, you do know that I'm severely handicapped. Don't you think it's fair that I should have like some sort of advantage?" They stopped and realized my situation. In fairness, BombMan handed me some sort of strange item that had a pinwheel shown. I inserted it into my Mega Buster and I was recharged back at full strength.

"So, feel any better dweeb? Be grateful that we didn't kick your ass in that sorry state of yours." How kind of you Morshu. Geez!

"Much better. Now then, only one thing is important here and that's me taking you down. I realized I should have scrapped you backstabbing bots at Wily's fortress weeks ago but I was a goody-two-shoes and I only did it to help my grandpa. Now, I'm done being nice because I'm just going to enjoy kicking all your asses! Words won't persuade you this time so all that matters is this final fight… face me in Mortal Kombat!" I assumed a fighting stance that was similar to a Shaolin Monk. Tron and Denise watch me gear up for battle.

I didn't know what I was doing but I felt like I had to do this. I performed some demonstration with fire emerging from my hands. Eventually, I blew the fire out and was ready to do battle. "Show me what you can do."

"That's what we wanted to hear. And now, it's showtime! Let's do it guys!" GutsMan said as the others agreed. TimeMan realized that they have no choice on the matter and simply shrugged.

"Let's see how you do against Kung Fu Shaolin CutMan… hee-ya! For the Shaolin!" CutMan performed a shaolin pose and then flicked his large Rolling Cutter hat.

GutsMan was up next simply slamming the ground with his fists having them clenched tightly. "Bring it!" Okay Gutsy, I'll bring it on all right. Then came ElecMan who loved making an entrance. "Thunder… thunder take you." He fired off two blasts of electric energy that flew in different directions.

A frozen statue started taking form until it broke apart revealing to be IceMan. To let everyone know by now, due to a defect he had back in Arc I, it overwrote his old personality and made him much more cold. In a sense, he's become like Sub-Zero. "This fight will be your last." Then I saw FireMan emerged from the ground and I can tell he's really fired up. "I'll show ya no mercy varmint!" He let off a double-concentrated blast of fire that really didn't scare me.

I saw a bomb on the ground and then it exploded revealing BombMan. Though I know for sure he's going to be very trigger-happy. "Safeties disabled. Combat mode engaged." Wow, that's very monotonous. I turned to find a blob of oil on the ground and it then took form becoming OilMan. "Fear me!" And last but not least, I saw something appear spinning like a tornado. "Beware the eye of the storm!" It's TimeMan and now the fight has just begun. I raced toward them and went on my attack. But while that was going on, Denise saw Glyde trying to escape. Drawing her pistol, she aimed it at him. Glyde just stood there and not said a thing.

"Where do you think you're going? You are under arrest so come quietly with your hands up. Don't make me use brute force!" Glyde's wasn't impressed by Denise's determination. He simply scoffed at this.

"You? Trying to arrest me? You don't impress me Officer. Do you really think you can defeat me with just a pistol? I thought people like you would be better armed than this." If Glyde is only good at insults, it isn't working. His Birdbots came in ready to assist and armed with weapons themselves.

"Oh come on, you relying on your pets to do your dirty work? I thought you were a man, not a cowardly little wuss." Nice job Denise. "So what are you waiting for? Why don't you face me like a man unless you don't want to get beat by a girl?" Glyde's fists were clenched tight. He didn't like being mocked by a girl especially a cop like Denise. He went forward and got himself ready to fight.

"I never wanted to get my hands dirty in this struggle. I really didn't… but since you want to go a few rounds, I'm game." He cracked his knuckles first and then moved his head sideways. Denise got nervous wondering if what she did only made it worse. "You will serve my new lord and master… Lord Wily." He raced toward Denise and started his attack.

Denise wasn't quick and got smacked around a bit. Tron saw Glyde as a hell of a fighter striking Denise at every opportunity. But she wasn't going to see Denise get harmed. Tron used her Gustaff to fire a few warning shots. It startled Glyde and stopped his attack. It looks like Denise isn't going to take on Glyde alone here. Yep, it's a 2-on-1 battle though I only hope that Glyde doesn't do anything unfair. Oh what the hell am I saying? They're dealing with a bad guy here. Who said he was fair?

"Lay off my friend blondie or I'll really get mad." Tron said making Glyde scoff at her words. She then pulled a lever letting out several Servbots who felt happy they were free.

"Well well Ms. Bonne, I didn't think you would rely on your toys to stop me. Too bad your boyfriend has problems of his own." Glyde said, laughing afterwards making Tron really upset.

"I can worry about him after it's over. You're the one that's on my list right now. Attention Servbots! Take out the Birdbots and don't hold back one bit! Anything goes here boys! Now get those piles of junk!" Tron shouted causing the six of them to worry but they all had looks of anger in their eyes.

Servbots 3, 10, 16, 23, 29 and 35 armed themselves with bombs and got to work attacking the Birdbots. Glyde simply flicked his wrist and his Birdbots immediately attacked. Tron and Denise got out of the way as the Birdbots and Servbots battle. Both ladies got up and saw Glyde being confident.

"So then, do you two want to fight me or what? Or would you rather prefer seeing our toys destroy each other?" He seemed very suave taunting the two ladies.

"I'd rather kick your butt than worry about them. Let's do this!" Tron replied grabbing her shirt and pants and doing a traditional clothes change.

What she was wearing made Glyde's eyes bulge with shock. Tron's outfit was very revealing with a revealing pink bodysuit, long pink gloves and a pink veil to hide her face though her hair didn't need changes. If I was right nearby, I would be having a nosebleed. Denise simply whistled looking at Tron like that. I can imagine what Wily is thinking seeing that… but I'd rather not know.

"Needed to at least get a stretch into this. Now then…" She started giggling a little but then the giggling led to laughter. She went closer to a perplexed Glyde. She gleefully went behind him and struck the guy in the back hard. Tron loudly laughed and then said, "Let us dance!" She raced toward Glyde and was in a merciless assault.

Glyde tried to fight off Tron's assault but he had to also deal with Denise who joined in on the action. Now he knows how it feels to deal with more than one opponent or in this case, two women. While that was going on, I was contending with the eight Robot Masters. CutMan was on the offensive using his large Rolling Cutter hat to slash me. But I also had to evade attacks from the other Robot Masters such as GutsMan's fists, ElecMan's electric attacks, IceMan's frost blade and so on. It was absolutely crazy. I had to find a way to focus my attention on one of them before I get myself reduced to scrap.

"What's wrong mega shrimp? Can't handle all of us?" GutsMan said. He went in and tried to bash me with his fist but I repelled it with CutMan's hat.

I jumped over him and responded with a hit to the back pushing him to where the others were. Since I had plenty of breathing room, I was on the offensive attacking with punches and kicks. I repelled some of their attacks with mine but due to the overwhelming odds, I was in deep shit. But then OilMan appeared from behind, held me down and allowed the robots to attack me. I felt serious pain and I couldn't escape. But after that, he then went backwards and then he piledrived me to the ground. I was in pain but I knew how difficult things were becoming.

Damn it, that freaking hurt. These Robot Masters are a real pain in the butt. Working as a team, I won't last but if I find a way to focus on them one at a time, I can be able to fight back. I jumped back and saw the robots hunched up ready to take me down.

But then they decided to go after me in a team-up attack. I really don't know what they're doing but it isn't good. I saw an opening and was able to get out of the way. I then decided to focus my attack on BombMan first. He struggled as much as he could to evade my strikes but I wasn't giving him any chances.

"BombMan is in trouble! We must assist!" TimeMan said and then he used his Time Slow attack to trap me. I couldn't move at all and it gave BombMan what he needed to strike back.

"It's like they say in the movies mega twerp… you bomb and I'm a hit!" Dear god, I hate that joke. He took out a few bombs and threw them hoping that I can go down but then, this happens.

"Hold him still TimeMan, I'll cut him down to size!" CutMan replied taking his large Rolling Cutter hat and threw it at me hoping to take me down.

"Hey, what are you doing? The tin twerp's mine you creep!" yelled BombMan but he didn't know that one of his bombs struck CutMan's hat. The explosion freed me from TimeMan's trap but I suffered a lot of damage.

"Now look what you've done. I had him in my sights and you've ruined it!" BombMan said feeling really pissed off at Kung Fu Shaolin CutMan.

"Me? You took your time bringing out your bombs. He would have been dead though I thank TimeMan for giving me a clear shot." CutMan replied. TimeMan took the compliment pretty well.

Getting up from the explosion, I saw CutMan's hat on the ground. Seeing the two robots bickering gave me an idea. Grabbing his hat, I raced toward them and pulled off a flying kick. It hit BombMan sending him flying and leaving CutMan stupefied. I then struck CutMan and TimeMan hoping that they wouldn't get in my way. Once that was done, I continued my assault on BombMan using the hat as a weapon. I even pulled off a cartwheel kick followed by a jumping bicycle kick that gave him serious pain.

"You know… some bots never learn." Using the Rolling Cutter hat, I sliced BombMan a few times and then finished it by throwing it straight at his head.

He didn't feel a thing at first but when the hat came back and I put it on, I snapped my fingers and BombMan was reduced to tatters. The other Robot Masters looked on in horror seeing BombMan taken down that easily. I touched his hand copying his Hyper Bomb although I already have it in my weapon database. The only reason why is because I needed an energy boost and I know that if I do the same for the others, I can be able to survive.

"One down… seven to go." I raced toward the Robot Masters and pulled a mosh-pit sending them to the floor. "Time to go out with a bang boys." Going airborne, I fired a few Hyper Bombs dishing out some damage but I know it won't be easy.

I saw IceMan standing there avoiding the blasts and I went after him. He decided to freeze the floor hoping I would trip. Too bad it had the opposite effect of causing the other Robot Masters to hit the floor. I can imagine the hilarity seeing TimeMan piled on by the other bots. It was enough to make him pissed.

"You may have defeated BombMan but your skills are nothing compared to mine. Let us see if plasma can freeze!" I fired a plasma shot and he responded with a blast of ice. It froze my shot and he easily avoided it.

We both went into close quarters combat using punches and kicks hoping to wear one another out. IceMan decided to make it crazy by bringing out his frost blade making me work double time. Then the other Robot Masters came in and wanted a piece of me to avenge BombMan. While that was going on, Tron and Denise were dealing with Glyde. Sure, Tron got a piece of him earlier with the surprise attack but things aren't going good for them both. Glyde easily evades their attacks with little to no effort and then responds by gently smacking them around. To put it simply, he was mopping the floor with them.

"This guy is good. We can't lay a hand on him Tron." Denise said gasping for breath while Tron tries to figure something out. Glyde was simply standing there looking calm. He had a smile on his face that was deceiving but yet it felt threatening.

"I wonder what's the matter ladies… can't handle a guy like me? How sad. Maybe Mega Man can put up a better fight than this." Hearing that made the two angry. So they try something different.

Tron goes first and tries to fight against Glyde but like before, she doesn't do well. But when he didn't suspect it, Denise took the opportunity and laid a wallop on him. It hurt Glyde real bad and Tron saw it as a chance to attack so she did. They both went on the offensive forcing Glyde to defend until Tron struck him in the stomach following by a blow to the head by Denise. The two attacks made Glyde a bit woozy but he shook it off and got a little upset.

"Looks like you've finally been able to inflict harm upon me. I've underestimated you both." He flicks his hair a bit but not before his look went from calm to anger. "But that will be one mistake I don't intend to repeat!" Glyde raced toward both ladies with a furious assault.

He was on the attack striking with a variety of fist attacks and kicks. Tron and Denise had to tackle Glyde who has gotten more vicious forcing them to be on the defensive. Things weren't going to go good for them though I can't say the same for the Robot Masters. I was tackling IceMan with a relentless assault not giving him any opportunity to strike back. Though he tried to use an ice attack, I was able to evade it easily. The other Robot Masters tried to help IceMan but it didn't work.

"You've gotten stronger Mega Man… I… am impressed." I took IceMan's compliment pretty well. "But I will not give up. I will fight on!" He formed two frost blades and then raced at me hoping to take me down.

A true warrior till the end… no wonder our fight was a difficult yet honorable one. I evaded his swipes and though I wanted to finish our battle, it just makes me pity him. IceMan has no clue but I know that I have no choice.

I blocked one blade and then twisted his hand forcing him to let go of his frost blade. Grabbing it, I tried to attack him but he got out of the way. I pulled off some nice show with the sword and then got ready. CutMan along with FireMan, TimeMan, ElecMan and OilMan used their projectile attacks to catch my attention. I heard their attacks and used the Frost Blade to deflect them. After that, I retaliated by firing a few shots from the Mega Buster hoping they don't get involved again. I turned to find Iceman who looked at me surprised.

"Why… why did you not finish me?" IceMan said as I saw him confused as to why. I took a deep breath because if I know the guy any better, he would probably know what happens next.

"You know me very well IceMan… when we had our battle in the South Pole, you fought with honor. If anyone that deserves to defeat you is me but I wish to do it honorably." I held the Frost Blade tightly. This is going to make me hurt myself when it's over.

I raced toward him and we both had our battle. Even when beaten down, IceMan put up a hell of a fight. He repelled most of my strikes and countered with attacks of his own. Sure, I was able to evade some but a few struck me including one that hit my cheek leaving a scar. I responded with a barrage of my own however the battle took its toll on IceMan making him unable to repel my assault. It was something I really didn't want to do but I had no choice. Eventually after a while, I saw IceMan battered and beaten. I shed a tear before I did this… and it was when I finished him off. Unleashing a variety of sword slashes, I struck IceMan but he didn't feel a thing. It wasn't until after I did a sword twirl followed by slamming the sword to the floor. I walked off and IceMan was shredded to pieces. Yes, it was sad but like I said, I had no choice. But then, I switched to IceMan's weapon and froze his remains. It's only fair that he deserved a proper way to die…but my gut feels it shouldn't be like this.

Forgive me IceMan… but it had to be done. Be as stealthful as the night, be as deadly as the dawn. Only six remain and this time, I can't waste anymore time.

"I don't believe it. IceMan's flame has been put out. That varmint has gone too far this time." FireMan felt a fire that blazed like never before. Seeing IceMan go down like that made him stronger.

"Yo FireMan, what the hell? Aren't we supposed to defeat Mega Man together in Mortal Kombat and all that crap? I mean, come on!" Replied OilMan. FireMan didn't care. He wanted a piece of me.

"Sorry OilMan but this fracking varmint needs to go. IceMan will be avenged in the name of justice. Prepare yourself ya blue tumbleweed, you will burn by my flames of righteousness. Let's go!" It was all I needed to hear.

Now you're wondering what the hell Wily's doing right now isn't it? Just so happens, he's watching the entire thing. Since the Robot Masters short-circuited the loudspeakers in the room, he can't give out orders. At first he was livid that they disobeyed him but then realized that the Robot Masters wouldn't get the job done.

Damn them! Damn those robots to fucking hell! How dare they disobey me and do this ridiculous garbage called Mortal Kombat. It's enough to make me sick! He took out some blueprints and got a look at them. They were designs but they were incomplete. But that will soon change… soon, they will be ready to succeed where these incompetents fail. He went on to laugh like a maniac and I swear, this guy would have a hernia right now doing crap like that.

Anyway, Tron and Denise were still struggling against a vicious Glyde while I had to contend with a vengeful FireMan. And the Servbots were still going at it with the Birdbots. It was a stalemate basically but I know something has to give. Glyde continued his attack striking at every opportunity he had. Tron and Denise were in serious trouble and not even their team-up attacks can help.

"It's no use Denise… this guy is too much for us. We won't last against him if we keep this up." But then Denise got sick of having to get beat by a suave douche and decides to do something about it. "What are you doing?"

"Simple. I'm taking his dumbass down. I am a cop after all!" Denise stretched and threw her police hat aside. Something about her made Tron wonder what's going on. Glyde was unimpressed with Denise's display… too bad he'll find out for himself how wrong he is. "Hey Glyde… I guess I'll have to do this the hard way."

"Are you trying to amuse me officer? You know that whatever you do is useless. You may as well give up as my Birdbots will finish dealing with your toy Legos." Okay, I think the taunting went a bit too far.

Denise decided that enough was enough and decided to strike back. Glyde wasn't pressed for an onslaught like this. I don't know if she's growing a pair but that cop is putting up a better fight than those two would together. Glyde wasn't aware for sure but he's getting a serious beat down. He jumps back a bit and wonders what the hell to do.

This is unexpected. I didn't think this officer would put up a fight. First that lovely geek tried to get a hit and now her? This is getting to be too tiresome. If they wish for a fight, I'll be glad to give it to them. Glyde raced back in and took on Denise again.

Glyde went all out pulling off attacks hoping to make Denise get hurt but that didn't work. Denise used every chance she had to block and counter. From a roundhouse kick to a backhand and then a cartwheel kick, that determined cop was on fire right here. Tron was surprised and realized there's a chance so she joins in carrying a pair of Sai blades. Now the douche is in trouble because now the fight is in their favor now. They were relentless, determined and ready to kick some ass.

"Now we're having some fun here. Let's make this klutz dance." Tron said and they both nodded and got to work. In their words, when they mean 'dance' it means they'll kick his ass their way.

Now Glyde was in serious shit because two fired-up ladies are going to deliver an ass kicking. I'm just hoping they don't do the same to me. Back to my battle, FireMan's flame was high and it was just crazy. His attacks were blazing hot making me realize that I was in serious shit. His Fire Storm nearly burned me and not even using a water-based battle chip can stop this bot. He went under and struck me from behind with an uppercut. I was on the defensive and the other bots watched seeing me get my ass kicked. I can tell this isn't good at all. God damn, I'm fucked.

"What's with you hothead? Did getting rid of IceMan made you burn up inside? I mean come on man, we shouldn't be doing this shit." I wonder why I'm trying to reason with a hotheaded Southerner. Maybe I'm careless and running out of ideas.

"Your words will not quell my passion… my passion for revenge! You will pay for what you've done to our friend. For Lord Wily!" FireMan unleashed a flame blast making me move out of the way.

FireMan's getting intense. I have to do something before we're all in danger. Water attacks do squat so maybe I should try something like this. I changed into the Ice Slasher and took him on.

A clash of fire and ice ensued between us both. I was on the offense striking hard with freezing fist attacks hoping to prevent his fire from hurting anyone else. FireMan however was fired up to the point where he wanted to turn the warehouse into a hellhole. I grabbed one of his arms and froze it preventing him from using his attacks. All that was left was the other arm. Too bad he decided to be a jackass and enveloped himself in a flaming column. That only made my situation tougher.

"No matter what you do cowpoke, you can't win. You hear me? You can't win!!!" That's when I saw him pull off his signature attack. I didn't have much time.

I raced toward him gathering what amount of weapon energy I had for the Ice Slasher. FireMan was high in the air and I saw him create something. It looked like a large flaming dragon. If you guys know where this is going, it's going to be very bad. The other Robot Masters just stood there seeing their comrade go all out. FireMan then expunged the energy turning it into the dragon. That's where things aren't going good.

"You will burn… burn to cinders! Feel my wrath mega varmint! With magic… Flame Dragon!" He raced at me and I just stood there doing squat. I already have enough energy to pull this off and I need to time it just right.

"Your way of justice is blind FireMan. You say you follow what's right but you don't. Sadly though, this fight has to end. Maybe when my gramps and I give you new life, you can use it to do the right thing." At this point, I was able to gather enough energy. I only hope that this works. "I hope you like a deep freeze FireMan. Polar Blast!"

I fired a powered up blast of Ice Slasher in a way similar to IceMan's. The blast struck the flaming dragon but even though I gave it all I had, it wasn't doing any good. He kept going but I held my ground. I continued to unleash the Polar Blast at him and then I noticed that the dragon changed color. Whether it's a good thing or not, I kept going. I concentrated all I had into the attack as the dragon went from a fiery red to a cold blue. In the process, the dragon stood there not moving a bit. Instead of going toward me, it began going straight down. It hit the floor causing it to break apart.

"Ugh… damn you! Damn you for using the cold sheriff's tricks. Brrrr!" FireMan was freezing but that was just the beginning of his troubles. "What? I can't shoot fire anymore? No! This can't be! My fire no longer burns. Is my justice doomed… for defeat?" He struggled because of the intense cold but don't worry, it's about to end soon.

He tried to punch me but I blocked it and froze it then he tried again and like before, it got froze. I still had enough Ice Slasher weapon energy left so I decided to make this simple. I punched through his chest and ripped out his robotic spine. Using a free hand, I froze his body and then I did something that made me look stupid. Eeyup! I swung the spine and bashed his body like a golf club. Hate to say it folks but I think I did a fatality… on a robot master.

"Daymn, flame head got the cold shoulder here." I can hear a rim shot coming from that joke OilMan. "So, what now? He's already beaten three of us."

"Enough of this. I'd say we get rid of this blue brat right here, right now! No more of these games." Wow, TimeMan. I didn't know you were that grouchy.

"Uh, but shouldn't we take him on in Mortal Kombat style?" GutsMan replied. TimeMan wasn't interested because he wants to kick my ass.

"All it has done is giving Mega Man the advantage needed to destroy us. Let's just go in and defeat him. We've already wasted enough time with this garbage." We've already wasted two hours so I don't mind spending all day beating the rest of ya.

"He's right. How dare that blue dweeb make us look bad. I swear, its ridiculous. Let's cut this short and besides… he's winning." CutMan said as they all agreed.

The remaining five Robot Masters encircled me preventing my escape. I ain't leaving because I want to take them all down. OilMan attacked first but I got out of the way and struck back. Too bad it was a fake made of oil. The real OilMan struck me from behind and I felt that backhand real good. I turned around and saw him chuckling like a little buzzard. That was such a cheap ass tactic.

"Like my little trick mega wimp? Wasn't easy to pull it off but hey, it had to work somehow." Sucks that I ended up falling for one of the simplest tricks in the book. "Sucks that you had to deal with my double…" But then I saw his other half. "Because we're here to give you trouble." It was sickening to find the double go back into OilMan. That's just freaking creepy.

I didn't waste any time so I went straight for OilMan. It was a handicapped fight where I have to deal with not just him but his slimy double. Sure, I was doing whatever I can to stop him but the fact that I had five Robot Masters left makes this a pain in the butt. Both OilMan and his double put up a good fight but my careless attitude made me drop my guard giving him an opening. He struck me in the jaw and the fake grabbed me from behind and then OilMan punched my face. The fake struck me with a knee to the back hurting me hard and then the real deal struck me with a kick to the stomach. I was puking out of my mouth from the backlash of that blow. Nasty! When it was done, they let me go and it hurt real bad.

"Looks like you lost more than just a few drops brat… you lost your lunch too." Too bad I didn't eat any lunch. All I only lost was my breakfast I had this morning.

Had to stink losing that. Damn you, OilMan. I went after him and tried to attack but he got out of the way and countered with a kick to the chest. The recoil forced me back and I felt groggy.

"Shaken… not stirred mega twerp." I heard his laugh and that nearly made me vomit in disgust. I got back up from the recoil and instead of trying to attack, I tried a different approach. Since one is real and the other isn't, I need to think this carefully.

I decided to not rely on my sight and used my other senses to help me figure things out. They kept moving hoping that they'll attack if I do, but I just simply did nothing. I heard their movements carefully and they moved quick and fast. The other Robot Masters wondered if I was surrendering or just standing there. I know tor sure I ain't doing any of the sort… I'm just waiting for the right moment to kick ass. It actually happens when I heard one of them making a different sound. That was my cue to strike. I struck it with a punch to the jaw sending it flying. My eyes opened up to find the one I hit was a fake meaning the real one is right behind me.

"Gotcha OilMan!" I turned and immediately struck him with a kick to the stomach followed by two blows to the face. I then turned up the heat by switching to the Fire Storm. But then the fake got up and saw me attacking the real OilMan. He raced hoping to stop me from attacking OilMan but I was smart and knew he'd try that. Hearing the fake go in for a jump attack, I moved out of the way and let him do the work for me.

It collided with OilMan and I would simply laugh at all of this. So much for them learning how to work together. Anyway, I saw some oil on the floor and had a good idea. Using the Fire Storm, I let the flame hit the oil and the path that it followed ended up consuming both the real OilMan and the fake. How funny that I didn't need to do something nasty to them both… the hell with it, they go down anyway! I then turned up the heat and pulled off a fiery fist attack piercing both the real and fake OilMan. When it was done, they were reduced to a pair of smoldering pile of ashes. I'm not surprised if they end up looking like shit.

"Well folks, we're at the halfway point. Who's next? Unless you want me to take on all of you at once that is." I let off a hand gesture and it was enough to tick off the remaining four.

"Looks like the dweeb wants a fight huh? Okay fine. Let's go! After all, you're in need of a little shock therapy." Shock therapy? I don't know if ElecMan can do that… oh wait, he can.

Now that I have to deal with ElecMan, I know things will get a bit shocking. Okay, that was a bad play I apologize. Anyway, ElecMan was already at work throwing fast punches. I had to evade them because I didn't want to feel a nasty discharge. I countered some and responded with my own attacks. But he was too fast and I ended up feeling the sting of his backhanded tactics. While that was going on, Glyde was in a serious pickle. His face felt messy, he has a black eye, his right cheek is swollen, his hair is out of place and his clothing is starting to get tattered. This is what happens when you piss off two women who want to kick your ass… in this case, my girlfriend and her BFF/officer on duty.

"What's the matter Glyde? Don't like getting beat up by girls? I can tell you are hard to deal with on dates. I wonder… how many girls have dumped his sorry ass?" said Denise making Tron giggle in curiosity.

"I don't know. Maybe a lot because of how smug this jerk is. I put him as one of these 'sugar daddies' where women date him for his money and when he's out, they ditch his ass and leave him high and dry." The two of them giggled and hearing all of this made Glyde clench his fist in unadulterated anger. His blood was boil yet the pain was still intense and he wanted to strangle them both.

"Yep. I wouldn't date him for shit. I'd be putting him in handcuffs instead." Denise said as she simply scoffed at the thought of the idea. But she is a cop and has a duty to do.

"I'm already taken. If I met him, he'd be on the floor not to mention if my parents were still around, he wouldn't be near me at all. Trust me." The two laughed again and I think Glyde's reached the point where he's had enough.

That was when Glyde out of nowhere smacks Tron in the face, grabs her hand and twists it forcing her to let go of one of her Sai blades. With the blade on the floor, he grabs it and throws Tron toward a few crates. His anger was just crazy almost as if he was possessed. It's simply scary and the emotions Tron had were replaced with just pure fear. She's scared alright and my guess is that what this bastard has planned for her isn't going to be good.

"Like to make a mockery of me aren't you? You talk tough for a spoiled brat. Now look at you cowering in fear like a lost puppy. How I will enjoy having fun with you my dear Bonne." Glyde spoke in a cold yet sickening fashion. It was just horrific thinking about it but Denise seeing this had to stop him.

"Get away from my friend you jerk!" shouted Denise. She attacked with a kick to the side and the hit broke his grip on Tron. Now his sight was on Denise and her face swapped from stern to worried.

"That wasn't very wise Officer." He had the Sai Blade held tightly. Denise was moving slowly back and seeing that made Glyde happy with glee… and I mean an evil glee. "Now I'm going to enjoy making you suffer." Denise was very afraid of Glyde. He was ready to ram that Sai down Denise's throat.

Denise! I got to stop him! Tron grabbed her other Sai blade and raced to stop Glyde. She didn't had much time to spare. She jumps into a crate and strikes him from above with a drop kick.

It did hit its mark and made him let go but in the process, he wildly attacked with the Sai and ended up striking Tron in the head. The impact caused Tron to let out a hard shriek catching my attention almost immediately. I pushed ElecMan aside and then jumped over the others to come to her aid. Servbot #23 upon hearing Tron's scream went as well. We saw Tron screaming in pain and it was because one of her Sai blades ended up striking her hair with the middle tip stabbing the side of her head.

"Tron!!!" I pushed Glyde out of the way and went to her aid. "Hang on Tron, I'll get the thing out of ya." I tried to touch it but Tron smacked my hand.

"Don't… please. I'll be fine. Number 23…" Tron replied though the pain was too much for her to handle. Her hair was showing shades of red due to blood from her head.

"Y-yes Miss Tron…" Servbot #23 said coming closer to Tron who has her hand held tightly on the right side of her head.

"Get me somewhere safe. I can't fight in this condition…" She screamed again due to the intense pain on the right side of her head. Servbot #23 simply nodded and helped Tron reach a safe place.

But in a battle this crazy, there wasn't any place to hide. Made worse is the fact that blood was gushing out of the back of her head. All I know is that the Sai blade didn't reach her spine because if it did, it would be really bad for her. Contending though with the remaining four bots, Glyde and his birdbots made the situation that much worse. I had my Mega Buster aimed hoping they don't get near us. I was nervous because if I got careless, I would put my own girlfriend in danger. This is bad… very bad.

"Looks like you decide to put your fight on hold to save your girl. That's sweet… I would be crying if I didn't have to deal with all of this." Glyde said in a cocky manner. His birdbots armed themselves up and the Robot Masters were ready to finish the job.

"Can your mouth Glyde. At least at this point this is where the fight winds down. Servbot #23, take Tron to a safe place. We'll handle the rest." I shouted with my buster still aimed at them along with Denise who has her pistol aimed squarely at them.

"Don't let those two escape!" Glyde responded having his Birdbots encircle all of us. Now we're really in trouble because with the bad guys aiming their weapons at us, I can tell we're in serious deep shit. Even Wily is enjoying this crap.

"Yes, yes, YES! Destroy them! Finish them! Annihilate them! Make them all suffer!" Wily continued shouting on and on laughing insanely like a no-good jackass. He was enjoying the entertainment and hoping to see the grand finale.

Back at the battleground, we were in a big mess. We all were nervous and wondering if they would attack us in this situation. But then, something happened… reinforcements have arrived. Bon, Teisel and several Servbots came in and helped turn the tides. It was something no one saw coming. Glyde and the other bots backed off when they showed up. I can tell the tide is about to turn for sure and boy, it's going to get fun.

"Hey Glyde! I got a bone to pick with your ass!" Teisel shouted and he's racing toward him at a fast pace. He then goes in with his best (quoting Linkara) 'I AM A MAN!' punch and whacks him in the jaw. If that wasn't enough, he does it again and gives him a punch to the stomach. This guy certainly is growing a pair here folks.

"Teisel Bonne… I should have known you'd still be this rough. I'm going to enjoy this now more than ever." Glyde said with his hand touching his cheek in pain.

"Oh I will trust me." He then turns to find Tron in pain. His feelings went from anger to worry in the drop of a hat. "Tron! Are you okay?" Teisel tries to comfort her sister. Denise sees the two in a time of grief and knew what she had to do.

"Teisel… I'll deal with Glyde. You tend to your sister. She needs you now more than ever. Whatever you do, don't take the Sai blade off her head." Denise said and then turned to me. "You deal with the rest of the Robot Masters. They're the bigger threat. Now go!" I nodded as I went to continue my battle against the remaining bots. Teisel however turned around wondering about what she would do.

"But what about you?" Teisel replied. Denise turned to give him a smile. Something about this may not seem right but hey, I like where this is going.

"I have to make sure to bring him in. He along with Lex has much to answer for their crimes. I am an officer after all." Denise said getting herself ready for battle again.

"Alright. Bon, #23, you're with me. The rest of ya, deal with Glyde's junkbots. We'll take Tron out of here." Teisel replied with the Servbots yelling out "Roger!" and going off to do battle.

Now the fight continued on and I decided to go right ahead and take on ElecMan. I guess the thunder god wasn't prepared for a sucker punch followed by a spin kick. My onslaught continued on smacking the bot and preventing him from attacking. But he countered with an assault of his own and my response was simple… basically drenching my hands with oil and applying them all over. Now ya wonder why I would do this right? There's a reason for that. ElecMan saw his hands covered in oil and wondered if I was playing around.

"What's with this oil? What are you trying to pull ya blue sparkplug?" I didn't say a wonder and simply smiled at him. He tried to use his electric attack but couldn't do it. "What the? I can't use electricity." He sees my hands covered in oil mainly because of OilMan's weapon, the Oil Slider.

"Oil acts a perfect insulator making your electricity useless. Too bad Raiden." I giggled and he decides to race at me for his Torpedo attack.

I moved out of the way evading his attack. He landed in a pile of crates and it made me want to laugh. ElecMan got up and tried to attack again. Too bad he can't use electric attacks because I drenched his hands with oil but it didn't stop him from using electricity from his four amps on his back. That really made me want to get the hell out of there but I couldn't so I decided to strike back. I pulled a flying kick strike his face followed by a cartwheel kick and a punch to his jaw. When he was airborne, I gave him a kick to his jaw again and that really had to hurt.

"Sucks to be you sparky… it really does." I said as ElecMan ended up on the floor reeling in pain. I decided to take care of things once and for all.

ElecMan went full throttle and tried to attack me but I didn't let him do that. I did a bicycle kick giving him a smack down and after that, I fired a blast of Fire Storm burning his hands. He was in serious pain but I was far from done. Turning my hand into an electric blade, I struck him a few times and finished it off by impaling the ElecBlade into his chest. An eye for an eye leaves everyone behind… electricity for electricity gives things a serious shock. When it was done, he was already in pieces. I touched his arm giving me a much-needed boost and my focus was on the remaining three bots.

"If you can't get anything done right, you have to do things yourself." TimeMan said as he moved his neck a bit. Forming two large Clock Hands, he spun them around for a bit like they were swords. "Now you're on my time you insolent pest." I don't mind a challenge N. Tropy and besides, this is what I have been looking forward to this for a long time.

I was already hard at work taking on TimeMan but I was more worried for Tron especially after what that bastard Glyde had done. Outside the factory, Teisel was carrying Tron outside so that hopefully she can get her out of harm's way. I always remember Teisel as a guy that loves anime and manga but here, he's a guy who values his siblings more than anything just like their parents. Taking out a first-aid kit, he bandages Tron's injury hoping to prevent the blood from spilling out of her head.

"Teisel… why did you come here? I thought you'd be at Robert's house." Tron said wondering about this.

"I had to do something plus the kid knew things would get nasty. So he told me that if the situation got careless, I would come in with backup and I did. But I never thought I'd see you like this. Right now, you're safe and that's what matters." Teisel replied and the two share a hug. But then Tron has an idea.

"Teisel, I'll be fine here. You go in there and help Denise deal with Glyde." Tron said. Hearing it made Teisel wonder about her.

"What about you? I have to make sure the blood in your head doesn't go any further." Tron places her finger on his mouth. She had a smile on her face knowing that everything will be fine. Teisel didn't say anything else and comforted her for a bit.

"You stay here and call an ambulance. I'll make sure that Glyde gets his just desserts." Teisel gave her the thumbs up and was on her way. Tron meanwhile, took out a phone and called for an ambulance.

It's come to this. The final chapter of Arc 2 and I must say, it's been a blast. I was supposed to upload it yesterday but I couldn't do it. So this is to make up for it. Here's the first part because the file overall can't fit under dA's lousy 64KB text crap. Oh well.

Quite a lot of action going on! Couldn't describe how much I want the robot masters trashed but you've done it epically! We need to spread this!
