Dr. Wily woke up and stretched. He told himself under his breath that he shouldn't have drunk so much last night to celebrate the completion of the last Robot Master with Doctor Light. With the completion of DLN-008 Elec Man, the commission from the government was finally complete. All that was left now was the few months of testing to determine if they were viable to use in the world at large and wouldn't go into a programming error induced destructive rampage.
Wily couldn't help but chuckle at that thought, given his plans. As he pulled his lab coat back on over the clothes he never actually removed last night - maybe he and Tom had celebrated just a bit too much last night, as DLN-001 Rock and DLN-002 Roll had kept insisting - he noticed his head felt heavier than normal. "Probably just the hangover," he muttered to himself as he made his way to the lab from his apartment.
Upon reaching the lab, Wily's mood had turned sour. As he'd walked through the streets, he'd tried to be friendly, waving at people, but they'd laughed at him and pointed. He knew he looked a little rumpled, but really...
Maybe I should reconsider my plans, he thought to himself with a grumble. Maybe robot supremacy would improve the world more than robot-human equality... Shaking his head, he rubbed his forehead, wondering why his head still felt so heavy. "Tom!" he called out. "Are you in yet?"
"Just getting the testing programs started," Dr. Light called back. "Be right there, Al!" After a bit, the chubby, good natured scientist shuffled out, his wide grin nearly hidden by his thick white beard. (Al privately wondered whether or not he enjoyed being mistaken for Santa Claus every winter.) His smile faded as he looked at Albert. Before Wily could get angry, however, Tom spoke up. "Albert...why do you have a unicorn clinging to your head?"
Albert froze. "Tom, that is the third strangest thing you have ever asked me," he pointed out. "What is it supposed to mean?"
Wordlessly, Dr. Light pointed at a nearby mirror.
As Albert turned to face his reflection, he goggled. Clinging to his bald head between the sideburns that shot off to either side was a pure white unicorn the size of a kitten. Its mane and tail were dark blue and pale blue in alternating stripes, it had magenta eyes barely visible behind way oversized purple shades, a branding of linked eighth notes, and a huge grin. "What the-where did that come from?" Reaching up, he tried to pry the creature off his head. It only giggled as it clung all the tighter to his bald scalp.
"I was hoping you could tell me," Light replied. "You really have no idea where it came from?"
"If I...knew..." Wily growled, "...I wouldn't...have asked!" With one last grunt, the tiny unicorn went flying off his head.
"Whee!" she cried happily, her voice confirming both her gender and the fact she could make far more than just horse noises. She flew through the air, and landed on the phonograph, riding it as it spun her right round.
"Get off of there!" Light shouted out. "You'll scratch the vinyl!"
The tiny filly leapt off with a happy gasp.
"What's she so happy about?" Light asked. "Why does a scratch on the vinyl make her happy?"
Wily had noticed that the filly gasped happily at two specific words Light had said. "Scratch?" he asked carefully.
The filly grinned up at him.
"Vinyl?" he asked again.
The filly's grin widened.
"I think you've hit on her name," Albert pointed out. "Goodness, she knows her own name when she's so tiny..."
"What kind of name is Scratch Vinyl?" Light asked in confusion.
The filly turned and blew him a raspberry.
"I think her name is Vinyl Scratch," Wily corrected.
Gasping happily, Vinyl leapt forward and clung to Wily's arm just above his wrist, all four legs wrapping around his arm tightly as she gazed up at him adoringly.
Wily reacted appropriately...for him.
"GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran around, waving his arm crazily.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" Vinyl responded eagerly.
After a time, the pony went flying again, only to bounce off Dr. Light's belly and land on a nearby couch. "Agay!" she shouted eagerly.
"Did...did she just say again?" Light asked, rubbing his belly from the impact.
"Sure sounds that way," Wily replied, grumbling.
"What a fascinating creature," Light murmured, leaning down to study her.
Vinyl's stomach made a gurgling noise, and she let loose with a shrieking wail that pierced the eardrums and shattered glass.
"What is that ungodly noise?" Wily demanded as he covered his ears. And how can I weaponize it? he wondered silently.
"I think she's hungry!" Light shouted back, covering his own ears. "Roll! Bring a milk bottle for an infant!"
"Coming Doctor!" Roll called back. There was a loud crash from the kitchen. "Sorry Doctor!" Roll shouted out. "The intense sonic waves appear to be throwing off my internal gyroscopic stabilizer! I'll be there soon!"
Curiouser and curiouser, Wily thought as he began to examine Vinyl discreetly from his current position.
After a time, Roll rushed out with a milk bottle. "I'm here, Doctor!" She gasped as she caught sight of Vinyl. "Oh, she's adorable! Are you hungry?" She leaned over with the bottle, holding it out towards the pony.
Vinyl stopped whining, glowered up at Roll, and promptly punched her on the knee, breaking that leg in half. Vinyl's horn lit up blue, catching the bottle in an aura of the same color as it fell.
"Dr. Light, I appear to have suffered some serious structural damage," Roll pointed out calmly. "Also, the sonic waves appear to have damaged the pain synapses in my circuitry. At least, I assume having the lower half of my leg broken off is supposed to be painful, yes?"
"I'll fix you right up, Roll," Dr. Light hastened to reassure her.
In the meantime, Vinyl had hopped off the sofa and had crawled over to Wily, looking up at him adoringly and holding up the bottle towards him.
Wily, for his part, took a look at the devastation to the lab she had wrought, and a slow smile spread across his face. Scooping the pony into his arms, he caught the bottle and held the nipple to her lips. "Well aren't you the interesting creature," he murmured wickedly. "I think I'll be keeping a close eye on you."
Vinyl merely giggled and began to drink up.
I already like this.
And so it begins...
Tatsurou really dude this going to be the third story of yours I can't stop rereading.
Well, I guess you could say a song is in order here!
This is gonna be good...
At least, I assume have the lower half of my leg broken off is supposed to be painful, yes
1. Having.
Wily would most undoubtedly just scratch the potential weaponizing for Vinyl... Before he gives in to it himself. Or grows immune. Or creates a Mega Man-ish suit for Vinyl to use and has an arm cannon mounted as her mini bass cannon.
Gosh I'm going too standard for this, gotta think like how Tat thinks.
*tries to think and...*
*abruptly faints from overexertion*
Vinyl is absolutely adorable.
Are you going to be using the current Mega Man comic on occasion for material? Still I hope Vinal will warm up to Roll. Nice beginning and eagerly await the next installment!
So wait... Vinyl punched a robotic leg in half? When she is barely a toddler? On top of this Vinyl is able to wail loud enough to damage robotic machinery? Holy cow, one chapter in and she already seems more op than the dark chips from megaman battle network 5.
...Tats, you magnificent bastard. You've done it again.
I'm hooked
Tatsurou. I'm almost reconsidering my decision to not read your Trixie displacement story, just because you seem incapable of writing a bad one. What has kept me from reading it so has been my lack of any kind of interest in either Trixie or the reality you through her into.
You know what that throw Wily made reminded me of?
OH HELL YEA!
6303604
If by "broken" you mean "mildly useful for Chaos Unison only" then I guess so. XD
I... You know what? Sure. Just going to Roll with it.
(But seriously, how many pacts have you made with demons to keep up your unholy writing speed?)
A Megaman crossover, nice. I'm interested in seeing how the story changes with the introduction of a new character. I always love reading your crossovers.
You're absolutely insane for even thinking up this story concept, you utter madman.
...Go on.
I assume you mean "discreetly", meaning covertly and without being noticed. "Discrete" is a term used in mathematics referring to operating on non-continuous data sets. It's a mistake people do a lot, since even spellcheckers won't catch it when it's a real word.
6303665 Well honestly, I only remember three dark chips as I usually could just power through the side effect of losing my buster or the hp bug. Seeing as I had more than enough hp just using dark recover was able to get me through every boss fight once I got it. Same with dark wide and dark sword.
...meh.
Eggman would be better.
...
To clarify, in case you still call him Robotnic, I call him Eggman because of the introduction of Dr Gerald Robotnic, who was Eggman's grandfather.
...
Hmm...
...
Big Mac being raised by Knuckles...
Yahoooo!!!! Vinyl scratch finally makes an appeareance, though i would have used DJ Sona as mother this time. All that said, PLEASE MORE!!!
And yet another favorite.
One question though; didn't Wily build the robots based off of designs he found in dig sites? Cause I was under the impression that Light was several centuries before Wily appeared. Ah well; Mega Man continuity was something I've never been able to grasp, as I'm not even sure if the games before the X-series of games were before or after X.
6303962 I think you're talking about Dr. Cain from the first 3 Megaman X games. Dr. Wily and Dr. Light were friends from the same era until Wily got jealous of being overshadowed by Light's succcess.
SOOO CUUUTE!!!!!
I can't wait for more.
Future prediction:
DLN-009 Wub Man
So, if you make that super crossover, won't Vinyl be familiar with one version of Wily while Nightmare Moon will be familiar with another? Also, why is Vinyl instantly hostile to Roll? Given that Wily in this story wants Robot/Human equality, I take it you aren't using Archie Comic Canon? Too bad, those are really good.
Hmm...I wonder, will the little filly in the future want to prove herself by making her own set of robot masters?
This is the first Megaman/MLP fic I have seen that's worth reading. Congrats.
Also,
If that's the third weirdest thing thing Thomas has asked him, then what took first and second?
will tavi be in this universe as well or will she be in a different universe?
COVER YOU EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Only ONE pony is fast enough to keep up with the adventures of Sonic and company...
Zipporwhill!
6303854 I actually like the Idea of Bigmac raised by Goku or better yet Vegeta or Piccolo seeing as they are better fathers then Goku
6303990
Ah, yeah, that's right.
6304259
I do believe that Tatsurou stated that Octavia and Vinyl were going to be in the same universe.
You know there isn't a Zelda one so why not have Sunset Shimmer raised by her or Hilda.
6304494
That's kinda hard, even though it's not a bad idea. There's so much disjointed crap in the Zelda games that it would be hard to pick one that would work.
And there's already been Zelda/mlp crossovers, though no Displaced Adoption fics as of yet.
How about this; Sunset Shimmer adopted by a young Ilea? And then she gets a dark transformation version right when Link gets his wolf form. I said that cause I like the idea of her being able to go bad ass in her Demon Sunset version. Also, alicorn Sunset.
Hey, I know it's trite, but I happen to like the alicorn versions.
If I can make a suggestion to whoever draws the cover art for this one, how about Vinyl sitting in Dr. Wily's lap while Wily grins evilly at the camera. And they're wearing each others' shades (Wily's Mr. X shades from Megaman 6).
I look forward to seeing this develop. Good job.
6304481 Well, that means Tavi's gonna be raised either by Mega Man(can't remember if it was Rock or Roll) or Dr. White.
6303622
Where do you think I got the joke from?
6304702 Rock is megaman. He's Rockman over in Japan.
All of your WUBS are belong to us.
Real One: Prepare your arm cannon Rock, The Bass Mare Is Coming For You!
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Always a good thing to check.
Filly Vinyl is clearly best filly.
Make that scariest filly.
6304813 Yeah, I suspected that but wasn't sure.
The words... I have none.
I'll bet this is a sequel to There's Nopony I'd Rather Be Than Me. Having Zero as a big bro will be pretty awesome, I think.
Catchy start. Faved, Liked & waiting to see where you're going with it...
I will love this anyway, but I think you just jumpstarted this. How did they figure out that was her name? How could they so soon determine it's nature? Unlike all the other stories, there was no anomaly behind the sudden appearance. Let alone logic.
Tat, your a goddamn genius, and I will like and fav, but even you need to explain.
