Light's Mercy, Vinyl's Ambition
Dr. Light and Dr. Wily once more sat across from each other, drinking tea together. Against the wall a good distance behind Dr. Light, Mega Man and Roll stood, watching, ready to spring into action should the need arise. Against the wall behind Wily, Air Man, Crash Man, and Wood Man were lined up. None of the robots were in range to hear what the doctors were going to talk about, as they had set up a sound suppression field around them. Vinyl was currently in Protoman's care, who was on the roof doing his best to look badass and cool as he stared off into the middle distance of the sunset, his scarf blowing freely in the breeze...and a white unicorn on his head whistling his theme music after having swapped their glasses around. Wood Man was the only one who had seen this, and he wasn't sure whether Protoman was succeeding at badass and cool or not.
After a time of sipping tea, Dr. Light spoke up. "So you surrendered?" he asked in surprise. "Do you mean to say you've given up on your ideals already?"
"Hardly," Wily countered. "I still believe that the only way to achieve a world where robots and humans are equals is to shove it down their throats. However...certain things have made me reconsider the...timing of my ambitions." He sipped at his tea. "Is this a new blend?"
Dr. Light nodded. "Roll prepared it," he explained. "She's quite good. Was it Vinyl?"
Wily tilted his hand back and forth, indicating 'sort of'. "It was Metal Man."
"Ah," Tomas commented dryly. "Mega Man told me about that...incident."
"I realized I didn't actually know as much about how robots worked as I thought," Albert explained, "and until I could make sure that future robots didn't become crazed horror movie monsters, I have too much to learn to attempt world takeover again. After all, I'm trying to make the world better through application of sheer brute force."
"Reasonable," Tomas agreed. "You know, I've been commissioned by the government to start work on a giant, human controlled, battle robot to defend the planet with."
Albert raised his eyebrows with a disbelieving snort. "Seriously? Alright, I'll bite...which general watched too much Power Rangers?"
"I'm not entirely sure it was Sentai Giant Robot shows," Tom replied with a laugh. "Still...Project Gamma is a rather large project...bigger than anything I've ever taken on alone." He smiled across the table. "To be perfectly frank, I'd rather not tackle it alone."
Wily's eyebrows climbed onto his scalp. "You want me to come back?" he asked in shock.
"Of course," Light replied. "You're still my friend, after all." He then treated his old friend to a mischievous smirk. "I could use a competent assistant."
Wily snorted. "We'll see who's whose assistant when this is over."
With tea over, Dr. Light informed the government that Dr. Wily had seen the error of his ways, and would turn his talents to the betterment of mankind by assisting with Project Gamma.
Rock glanced around in fear. He was standing atop a massive tower that stretched upwards into infinity, sheer drops to all sides. Taking a step forward, he quickly pulled his foot back as the block he'd just stepped on crumbled beneath his foot.
"Is there a problem, Rock?"
Rock spun in response to that robotic voice, seeing Air Man approaching him. "Air Man, what's going on?"
"Isn't it obvious?" another familiar voice said as Cut Man stepped out from behind Air Man. "We're going to show you the power of the Third." Reaching up, he disconnected his head blade...and the inner and outer edges hummed, surrounded by blue light. As he swung it, the air rippled.
Bzzzzowwnnn...zwwwwn...zwwnnn...
Air Man reached to his hip and pulled out the Sonic Disrupter. "You should have brought your armor, Rock," he stated as he fired.
BZZZOWNN!
Rock ducked under the blast, scrambling as the blocks he ran across crumbled under his weight. He tried to pull out his buster, only to find he didn't have his Mega Man armor units. Cut Man charged at him, swinging the sonic blade about as he tried to cut Rock to pieces. Backing up, Rock found his way to the edge of the tower...which crumbled.
He managed to catch one last platform with one of his hands. "Help!" he called out.
Air Man stepped up to the edge. "...You bore me," he stated bluntly, turning away.
As Rock tried to climb up, Metal Man appeared out of nowhere, Metal Blade in hand. "Want to play a game?" he asked, his blade humming in the same way Cut Man's blade had as he sliced Rock's hand off.
Rock screamed in fear as he tumbled endlessly to his doom.
Rock sat up, sweating in terror as he stared into the darkness.
"Rock?" Dr. Light asked. "Are you alright? Did...did you have a nightmare?" The last was said in a mix of concern, disbelief, and fascination.
Letting out a terrified wail, Rock clung to Dr. Light, crying his eyes out as he poured out the entire dream in choked gasps.
Dr. Light did his best to comfort Rock, rubbing his back and whispering, "There, there," and other such things. In his mind, however, he thought, I never thought I'd need that psychology degree when I got into robotics. Thanks for making me take those classes, Mom...
Vinyl sat down just outside Rock's room, having heard the entire nightmare. While the mention of Metal Man had unnerved her - her own nightmare in that regard was why she was riding Item 2 around the lab for water instead of being asleep in her own bed - the rest of it had gotten her thinking.
Returning to her room, she pulled out a tablet and scrolled through, finding a massive data file. The file was titled, "Making Daddy Proud".
The file was a checklist with various schematics and details attached to each item. The first item, "Make sonic gun," was checked off. The second item was, "Make better sonic gun." The third read, "Make bigger sonic gun." The remaining two items were, "World Takeover attempt" and "My Own Robot Masters". Both had ideas attached to them, but not much details.
Going down to the end of the checklist, she typed in one more entry.
"SONIC BLADE"

...I got the funniest feeling... And it's right up Tat's alley, too...
Also, first!
How is a sonic blade supposed to work, is the blade made of sound
Proto is going to become Zero, isn't he? A sonic sword using high frequency subs to produce a sword perfect for going through armor plating and power systems. Not quite a light saber, but close enough.
Vinyl is trying to take over the world on her own? Just like my daughter!
6478416 Sound curving at an angle before making a 350 degree turn or something and going back into the handle? Dunno... but if it's as devastating as the canon...
I know Zero had a sword but why do I feel like Bass also had the one?
6478427 Agreed.
6478416 Or, more practically, a large physical blade sheathed in sonic disruption energy.
One of her own robot Masters has got to be Octavia (or classic woman)
6478450 how do you know what my daughter is like?
6478500 Mind reading!!
But seriously, I have no idea what your daughter is like; I just agree with the sentiment.
So Vinyl is going to take over the world with music/sound theme robots and bass canons? For some reason I'm okay with that.
Great. Now I'm gonna go insane waiting for Sunday.
6478485
It probably won't be Octavia because she's already in a different story.
Mega man 3 robot masters nuf said.
Oh wow, so Vinyl's going to be responsible for MM3 rather than Wily this time? xD
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
....so Bass and Forte aren't going to be made then? Cause if I remember correctly he was made by Wily as a counter to Mega/Rock man.
Just imagine if Vinyl gives Mega Man the next victory out of pity much like Sagat with Dan Hibiki.
Either that, or she'll endanger herself and Wily would go save her.
6478421
It's vinyl so it would be wuds. not sure what the difference is through.
D'AAAAAAAW.exe has been activated. Would you like to send a report/activate failsafe "Diabeetus.exe"?
6478416 sound is at is core vibration just think metal gear rising and raiden's sword you know the one that cut a metal gear ray in half
6478446 ...actually, I think he did...he just refused to use it/was no good with it. I think that was manga specific though.
You know, I don't know why, but I keep forgetting that Mega Man has the mentality of a 10-year-old boy... and before you ask, Mega Man 8 doesn't help because he sounds more like an 7-year-old girl.
6478416 I can image it being like the vibro blade in "Gladiator"
The damn thing have the blade made of sound magic.
Can cut almost anything and only cut things needed to be cut...
6478962 Lol.
Ah another great chapter thank-you Tatsurou can't wait for the next.
6478933 Error detected
Heart.exe has crashed
Vinyl just lives to torment Rock at this point.
6478919 Darn mobile auto correct!
If I may ask, how old is Vinyl at this point?
6480037
...5ish. I think.
And now she's pulling weapons straight from the nightmares of her foes. Wily would be so proud!
If we're still using canon robot masters after this point, Skull Man is going to do one of three things.
Terrify Rock to the point that he'll be begging for mercy and hiding the entire fight.
Be taken out is record time as Rock goes berserk with his weapons out of sheer survival instinct.
Actually be a pretty cool and philosophical guy who tests Rock on his conviction and his cause before letting him move on without a fight.
6480051 ok thanks
6480219
I imagine the he might like ye ole dramas.
"Ah, young Skull Man, I knew him well!" - Dr. Albert Wily, evil mad scientist... totally not another guy.
6480219 Or be the personification of Mr Skeltal
6480219 all three options begin with skull man pulling a hamlet
6478802 well one of the files in vinyl's data pack did say 'my own robot masters'. Maybe she makes them? Would make sense with the names and all.
6478736 that would explain protoman more direct involvement, but to be honest i see her ore along the lines of making bass and treble
6478421 Melody of the Future pretty definitively shows that Zero is not Protoman.
A Reploid named Prometheus appears, who is actually Protoman rebuilt and upgraded. He's borrowed from the Megaman webcomic Bob & George.
6481296 There is a certain level of missed intent in your comment. Also, Protoman already has a shield, and the straight up Megaman games predate in canon, every event in the Megaman X games. Still no word on if Vinyl and Octavia are in the same boat or not in regards to game canon.
6481332 My intent was to point out that Tatsurou had already shown what happens to Protoman in this series. He's stated repeatedly that Wily's Wittle Wub and Melody of the Future share a universe, something none of his other stories do. Therefore, Protoman appearing as Prometheus in Melody of the Future precludes him becoming Zero.
Now, if your intent with the original comment was to say Protoman is going to adopt a similar fighting style to Zero, rather than to say he was going to literally become Zero, then I misinterpreted and I apologize.
I love this story <3. I can't wait to read more and see more Robot Masters =D
Poor rock man.
Oh poor, poor rock man.
~Leonzilla
Poor Rock, Vinyl is going to make him a nervous wreck. Still, to cause a robot to have Nightmares.... Wily needs to be careful he doesn't push things to far and ruin the game. Though if he's pushed to far he might start thinking up crazy ways to counter robot masters with just his basic busters before going after them or bringing supplies to help him, ie fire extinguishers or other stuff.
6478809 You know if that last part happened Rock and Proto Man would be right beside him helping save her!
6485804 Lol. Fire extinguisher would have been perfect against fire man.
FSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH ded
For at least a decade, Megaman 3 was my favorite game of all time. The place was later taken by Legend of the Seven Stars, but Megaman 3 still has a place in my heart. I must admit, I'm looking forward to what influence Vinyl has on robot masters like Snake Man and Gemini Man, as well as the robot bosses that protect Dr. Wily's castle as Megaman battles through them.
In other words, keep up the good work.

Basically, the weapon has an ultrasonic generator to vibrate the blade, inflicting additional damage to the target.
Wait, project... Gamma?

Right. Wrong franchise.
never mind!
