Wily's Wittle Wub

Round 3

Mega Man sat back as he waited for the next round to begin. "So...think the next round is actually going to be serious action?" he asked 'Mr. X' curiously.

Mr. X glanced at the roster. "Well, one of the fighters is Plant Man. While his Master Weapon - Plant Shield - is mildly interesting-"

"Another shield weapon?" Mega Man demanded. "How is it interesting?"

"The maker claims she's figured out a way around the issues shield weapons have with energy overload from Area of Effect attacks, like Rain Flush," Mr. X explained. "While that's pretty interesting...the really significant detail is that Plant Man is apparently programmed with several martial arts, and has adapted both his Plant Shield and his vines to those methods of combat."

Mega Man sat up, intrigued. "Well then, is his opponent going to give him a serious challenge?"

"His opponent is...Trojan Man," Mr. X muttered.

"Based off one of the ancient warrior peoples?" Mega Man asked eagerly. "This is going to be interesting!"

"Not...exactly..." Mr. X muttered as he looked at the specs. "Apparently, this is...another one inspired somewhat by some of the Wub Masters..."

"Wha..." Mega Man blinked, but then he got it. He put his face in his hands. "Oh dear god...how about I announce this one?"

"Too late. 'X-P0N3' already took Item 2 out."


X-P0N3 waved to the crowd as they all cheered. "Well, here's hoping the next match is a bit more action packed, right?" When that was greeted by roars of approval, she made her way to the first Robot Master. His armor was blue and gray, and the yellow helmet covering his humanoid face was surrounded by orange and yellow flower petals. Aside from the green crystal in his chest and the buster on his right arm, the only other distinctive characteristic was the thorny vines wrapping around his body and swaying in the air around him. "Why don't you introduce yourself?" she asked, offering the microphone.

The Robot Master took the microphone. "I am Plant Man," he stated, calmly but confidently. "I am the protector of nature, and I will see to it that the life of the natural world remains strong...even if it must fight for that strength under my command!"

X-P0N3 chuckled as she clapped, taking the mic back. "Well isn't that interesting?" she proclaimed happily. "Wonder what your opponent is like?" With that, she zoomed around to the other Robot Master, who appeared to be fully humanoid. His coloration was yellow and white, and his exterior skin had a strange, non-metallic shine to it. There was also a strange tip on the top of his helmet, resembling an under-inflated balloon. "And you are?"

The Robot Master placed his hand over X-P0N3's hoof as he gripped the mic. "Little lady, I am Trojan Man," he declared, his voice warm and soft. "I am here to protect everyone from the dangers of the world, and to spread a warm, pleasant, all encompassing love to the world." As several laughs greeted this, he shrugged his shoulders. "And I can't help that my designer has a perverse sense of humor." That got a full belly laugh from the entire audience.

X-P0N3 chuckled in amusement. "So are you a lover bot or a fighter bot?" she asked teasingly.

"Allow me to demonstrate," he said with a bow. "Let me show you how even my foes will fall to my love!" With that, he leapt into the arena, quickly followed by Plant Man.

X-P0N3 grinned as she floated back. "Well, since Daddy's not here yet...ready, fight!"

The two robots leapt into action, exchanging rapid punches and kicks as they began feeling out each others' fighting styles. Plant Man seemed to be able to put more power to his blows and was more skilled, but Trojan Man was incredibly hard to hit, and the first couple of blows that did land bounced off.

The pair leapt back from each other after the brief exchange, neither having taken any appreciable damage. "Just what are you made of?" Plant Man demanded.

"Latex alloy!" Trojan Man proclaimed proudly. "For the ultimate safety-"

"Say it!" someone shouted from the sidelines.

Trojan Man groaned. "Do I have to?" he pleaded.

"We're being sponsored!"

Shaking his head, Trojan Man sighed. Flexing his arm, the armor around his hand bulked up like a cestus. "And ribbed for your pleasure," he grunted, apparently as disgusted with the line as anyone.

Plant Man's eyes widened, and he backed up quickly, only to slip on a patch of latex on the ground. "What the?"

"It seems you've slipped on one of my Ferret Socks!" Trojan Man proclaimed. He leapt into the air, pulling out a latex sphere filled with a sticky white substance. "And now...taste my Love Stain Bomb!"

Plant Man narrowly dodged the sphere as it exploded against the arena floor. "Keep the hell away from me, freak!" he screamed out, lashing with his thorny vines while surrounding himself with Plant Shield.

Trojan Man grinned as he landed, pulling out another bomb. "This fight is over!" he proclaimed, lunging forward and leaping into a pirouette, trying to time his spin to slip past the oscillations of the Plant Shield.

One of Plant Man's vines lashed across Trojan Man's torso, the sharp thorns tugging on his exterior. With a loud rip, he split down the middle, the sticky whiteness of his 'Love Stain Bombs' spattering all over the place from inside as his head landed. "...well, this is awkward," he muttered.

"Get it off, get it off, get it off..." Plant Man shuddered, leaping out of the arena...only to freeze as several of the female Robot Masters waiting to fight rushed up to start licking him clean.

"Uhh...Plant Man wins and I'm pretty sure I'm too young to see this!" X-P0N3 proclaimed, zipping away as the audience burst into a mixture of cheers and laughter.
