Let's Watch Megaman: 3-1
"Albert!" Dr. Light called out insistently. "Something's gone terribly wrong with the mining operation for the energy elements!"
"What?" Dr. Wily called back, rushing to his side. "What happened?"
"The Robot Masters you designed to head the operation and keep it under control have gone rogue and have taken over the planetoids," Dr. Light explained. "All at the same time."
"Really?" Wily asked. "What could have caused this?"
Dr. Light turned to Wily with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not me this time, Tom," Albert complained. "My focus is on Vinyl, remember?"
"Just checking," Dr. Light replied. "Still, I'll need all the information you can give me on them if I'm going to send Mega Man after them."
"Right," Wily agreed. "I'd recommend sending him after Magnet Man first. He's the only one of the group that doesn't have combat protocols, since his Magnet Missiles would shut down anything electronic that went haywire."
"Thankfully, the most they'll do to Mega Man is stun him for a moment or two," Light indicated. "Mega Man!" he called out. "It's time to save the world again!"
"But I was about to kick Vinyl's flank in Smash Brothers!" Mega Man complained. "Hey! I was distracted!"
Vinyl proceeded to give Mega Man a raspberry.
"Mega Man!" Light called more firmly.
"Alright, alright, geeze..." Mega Man headed for the teleporter. "Here we go again."
"Albert and I will be keeping an eye on you from here," Dr. light explained. "And he's also provided details to help you neutralize the rogue Robot Masters."
Mega Man nodded his thanks as he beamed out.
Air Man and Wood Man promptly brought in a large sofa, while Crash Man set up a popcorn machine and soda fountain, along with hanging a tray filled with candy and other treats around his neck...including hot dogs. "Popcorn! Sodas! Candy! Wieners!" he called out.
Tom turned to Albert with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged in response. "When I actually was trying to take over the world, we'd all sit around and watch Mega Man go after the Robot Masters. It was sort of a cross between a movie night and watching sports." He took a seat on the sofa as Vinyl leapt into his lap with a bag of popcorn. "Guess they want to continue the tradition even if we're on the other side this time."
Tom thought about that for a time, then shrugged, taking a seat. "In that case, I'll take a couple of wieners," he told Crash Man.
"Kinky," Wood Man joked as he sat down in front of the couch, once more smoking his hookah.
"Vinyl is in the room," Air Man pointed out robotically, sitting beside Wood Man with his own bag of popcorn...which was just for the feeling of inclusion, as he didn't actually have a mouth.
"Kinky?" Vinyl asked curiously.
"Oops?" Wood Man offered apologetically.
On the screen, Mega Man had beamed into the planetoid and proceeded to leap through the stage, staying out of range of the flying magno-bots - magnets with propellers - as he jumped over the mined pits. After a time, he dropped down a ladder into a large chamber...where a familiar whistle played.
"Protoman?" Dr. Light asked in shock.
While Protoman did beam in, his face was covered in his scarf, making him appear a lot more menacing. He didn't say anything as he shot at Mega Man for a while, who did his best to evade and shoot back. After having blocked a good amount of shots with his shield, Protoman beamed out, and a new path opened.
Vinyl, meanwhile, was clapping, happy that Protoman used the whistle tune she'd written for him.
"...somehow I don't think telling Mega Man that was his brother is a good idea," Wily offered.
"Agreed," Dr. Light confirmed.
As Mega Man continued on, Wily noticed something interesting. "How's he doing that backwards ground dash?" he asked.
"You mean the slide?" Tom clarified. "It's a new combat function I built into him. He's also got Rush to assist him."
"Rush?"
"Woof woof!" The robotic red dog barked happily as he snatched one of Light's wieners out of the bun and devoured it.
Rolling his eyes, Light explained. "Rush is Mega Man's new support unit. He has many functions that he can use on Mega Man's command."
"What, like sit, stay, and roll over?" Crash Man joked.
"More like become a springboard, become a jet, and become a submarine," Dr. Light corrected with a smirk. "It's a ways off in development, but I'm also working on a Rush Adapter, an additional system for Mega Man and Rush that will allow Rush to turn into an additional armor suit for Mega Man."
"Interesting..." Wily mused as Mega Man reached Magnet Man's chambers.
Neither human noticed Vinyl briefly hop off the couch and pull out her tablet, adding a new item to her 'Make Daddy Proud' checklist.
Make own support units?
Design Adapter for use by pony
With that done, she hopped back up to watch the fight. None of the robots said anything.
As Mega Man entered the chamber, Magnet Man was waiting for him. "Good morrow, young hero!" he greeted him. "It seemeth me that destiny had in mind for us to clash. A pity, as I do not believe I will survive this encounter."
Mega Man blinked. "But...if you know you'll lose, why fight?"
"Ah, what fool you are, Blue Bomber," Magnet Man sighed theatrically. "For you see, my heart has been claimed, and I am sworn to the one who has thus claimed me. It is love, you see, and what gentlebot would I be if I turned my back on that? The ruler of my heart commands me to this...and gladly do I obey. If for their ambitions my death can aid, then gladly do I offer it. Have at you!" With that Magnet Man charged, launching a few of his Magnet Missiles.
Mega Man managed to dodge, and fired off a few shots of his own, managing to catch Magnet Man in the left shoulder joint, causing his arm to break off. "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry," Mega Man stated automatically. "I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright, I've had worse," Manget Man hastened to reassure him. "It's only a flesh wound."
Mega Man blinked. "One, you're a robot, you don't have flesh. Two, your arm is lying there on the ground! How can you have had worse?"
"There's a reason I don't eat noodles anymore," Magnet Man replied readily. "Now, have at you!" He charged in again, firing Magnet Missiles from his one remaining hand.
Once more, Mega Man managed to dodge, firing again. This time, his shots hit Magnet Man's right shoulder, disconnecting that arm. "Uh..." Mega Man began.
"A lucky shot!" Magnet Man proclaimed. "Have at you!"
"But you don't have any arms!" Mega Man complained.
"I can still fight! Have at you!" Magnet Man leapt at Mega Man in a jump kick.
Mega Man instinctively leapt back and fired, destroying Magnet Man's left leg. "Stop making me dismember you!" he complained.
"I'm not dismembered!" Magnet Man countered.
"Your arms are lying there on the ground, and your leg is atomized!" Mega Man indicated.
Magnet Man hopped back and forth a bit. "...you're trying to trick me!" he proclaimed. "Have at you!" He proceeded to hop a charge at Mega Man, who countered by blasting his final leg off.
"Just give up already," Mega Man pleaded. "I can take you back to the Docs and-"
"Never!" Magnet Man proclaimed. "Come here! I'll bite your legs off!"
Mega Man groaned shaking his head. "Just...stop. You've lost."
Magnet Man grinned. "Not yet," he growled. His body began emitting magnetic waves.
The Magnet Missiles that had stuck to the various walls around them disconnected and flew at Magnet Man at high speeds. Mega Man was just barely able to dodge out of the way.
"Drop it!" Magnet Man shouted as the Missiles impacted his body.
A massive electromagnetic explosion ripped through the chamber, blasting Mega Man back against the wall along with Magnet Man's weapon chip and the Energy Element he'd been carrying.
As Mega Man beamed out, the doctors were in the midst of a discussion.
"We did design the Robot Masters with an affinity to the Energy Elements they were sent to mine, so as to better find them," Dr. Light concluded. "I suppose it's possible that affinity caused the Energy Elements to overload their systems when they actually came into contact with them."
"Plausible," Wily allowed. "Oh, Mega Man, you're back."
"One Energy Element successfully retrieved," Mega Man stated, setting the capsule on the counter. "One Robot Master destroyed, and one Master Weapon gained."
Wily nodded. "You should go after Hard Man next," Wily pointed out. "The alloys he's made of conduct electromagnetic energies a little too well. He'll be exceptionally vulnerable to Magnet Missile."
Nodding, Mega Man immediately beamed out. Wily, Light, and the others immediately returned to the sofa and their snacks.
As Mega Man progressed through the next planetoid, there came a point where Rush Coil - the 'springboard' mode - was demonstrated. Wily whistled in appreciation of how Rush was able to lock onto Mega Man to warp to him, while Vinyl took notes, which caused Light to chuckle.
At one point, Protoman once more challenged Mega Man, and the fight went more or less exactly the same as the previous time, although Mega Man took more damage due to the varied terrain. Not long after that, he confronted Hard Man.
As Hard Man did not speak, their was no real dialogue to listen to. The two traded blows for a time until Mega Man landed a blow with Magnet Missile...which resulted in Hard Man charging forward, grabbing Mega Man, and slamming him repeatedly against the walls. Thankfully for Mega Man, he was able to keep firing, and the Magnet Missiles homed in on Hard Man, doing more damage to him than he was doing to Mega Man. Hard Man's explosion knocked Mega Man across the room, along with the Energy Element and weapon chip.
"Was...was that Freak Mode?" Dr. Light demanded in shock.
"Can't be!" Wily proclaimed. "I didn't install any Freak Chips in them!"
Vinyl turned her head, whistling innocently.

OH MY GOD YES
SO MUCH MONTY PYTHON
Can't wait for the shadow man fight
And nobody expects you to
Air man sits by Air man??? I know he's a big body type, but come on!!!!
With what mouth???? He has an Optimus Prime styple head!!!! Now, if it opened like in the Michael Bay movies, that would be cool.
Nice chapter, I do like Wily being impressed with Rush's homing function, shows he can still recognize good work even if he didn't build it.
GODAMMIT WOODMAN!

He did eat the cookie in the previous chapter.
Why oh why did he not shout "I'm invincible!!!"?
6502451 good point.....
The noodle incident. I get it.
"Come on, ya pansy!"
Monty Python. Tatty, you know me so well!
We found Doctah Wahwee. Nice fic, by the way!
6502422
There is never enough Monty Python!!
Great chapter, so how long till Vinyl gets busted? She does need a stern talking to about going behind her daddy's back like this.
Hehehehe, yes yes yes! Good on you for the python!
6502439 He isnt that much of a blowhard, surely?
6502520
I'm betting...three more chapters
6502450
nothing went wrong. This was perfect
He wasn't supposed to be comically hammy and over acting? Also, if the noodle incident resulted in all of the springs in his joints extending, then I understand why he didn't touch them afterwards.
Now all we need is the Masters to MST3K the battle.
I think Wily is going to be chewing Vinyl out.
How long till vinyl gets caught and the doc decides to try again.
This chapter was cute and funny at the same time!
... So then Vinyl's the reason that Treble exists? Cool. You know, I wonder what your version of a Battle Network game would be like.
I'm a bit surprised that Megaman didn't call Magnet Man a loony, or call the end of the fight with him a draw.
MARVELOUS!
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
I believe Magnet Man's personality had quite a... Positive effect on your readers. Having more robots like him would be an... Attractive offer however it would probably be best to... Repel that idea as things would likely... Go south instead of north.
BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS- *shot*
Just all of my YESES
Using the spoiler for any new readers trying to cheat by comments. But, as i am obviously not the first, nor the last to notice your good sense of comedy Tats, i feel it prudent for those few sad sods who have not witnessed the greatness of the Python, that i should post the video of the scene.
To the unenlightend, be enlightend!
Now go fourth, and watch ALL of the Monty Pythons!
6502422 wha!? Where is the reference?!
6504018 Holy grail, the scene with the knight blocking their way
6504018
Magnet man is the black knight from 'monty python and the holy grail'
6504819 eyup great comdy sketch
6504819
but man now that I watched that scene I'll watch the movie sometime
6504671 I mistook Monty python with Monty oum sorry hehe
Magnet Man is the Black Knight... Genius, nothing more.
6504973
I am legitimately surprised there is someone unfamiliar with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We even have booze for it!
iws-fla.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HG6PACK.jpg
6506273 I liked it. Thought it was a clever reference. But I can see your complaints. It was a bit rushed, and anticlimactic to boot.
6507356 not true. I thought it was obvious I was talking about buster only. Metal blade is irrelevant.
6506474 yes also moustace
I noticed a typo, where you say Metal Man, instead of Magnet man.
6505097 I know I was laughing for minutes
6497749
true, but this does not mean that someone won't buy the rights eventually.
Before I forget, Tatsuro. If you need a better way to learn about the Robot Masters in Megaman 3, Take a gander at this.
Ogre knows alot of things that aren't common knowledge.
6515071
I don't watch Let's Plays with commentary unless I'm specifically watching for that Youtuber's commentary and reactions.
I get my information for this story from silent playthroughs and the wikis.
6515504 ....So...do you not know who NakaTeleeli and ElementalOgre are? Or do you just not like them?
