Meet the Masters
After Vinyl had drunk her fill of milk, Wily turned to Light. "So how goes repairs on Roll?" he asked.
"Not well," Light replied. "It wasn't pure strength that broke Roll's leg. The sonic waves shook her entire structure partially apart. While I fix her and Rock up, can you check on the others?"
Wily shook with silent laughter, doing his best not to cackle wickedly. Perfect! he thought to himself. This couldn't play better into my hands! Smiling down at Vinyl, who seemed to enjoy his laughter, he spoke up. "Sure, I can do that. And I'll keep this little hellion with me, keep her out of more trouble."
"Alright," Light replied absently. "Have fun."
"Oh, we will," Wily replied, turning to head towards the robot labs. "We will..." he replied, grinning wickedly. For some reason, Vinyl giggled at his evil grin. Once in the lab, he smiled down at Vinyl. "Ready to meet the other robots? Without breaking them this time?"
Vinyl giggled in response, nodding as she pushed her glasses up her forehead to brace them against her horn.
Smirking, Wily approached the first robot. "DLN-000, Protoman, status report?"
The red and gray armored robot frowned back at Wily, his shades hiding his expression as his yellow scarf blew behind him over his red and white shield, despite the total absence of any sort of wind in the lab. "I'm fine," he replied coolly.
"I need to check you for damage from the sonic barrage," Wily pointed out.
"I already fixed it," he replied firmly. He glanced down. "What's that?"
"This is Vinyl Scratch," Wily replied, holding her up more. "I woke up with her on my head."
Vinyl looked up at Protoman starry-eyed. "Fo coo!" she gasped out, pressing her hooves together under her chin.
Protoman went very still. As Wily moved on to the next Robot Master, Protoman thought to himself, God...damn...too...cute!
Unaware of Protoman's internal conflict, Wily approached the next robot, who had a slim build and was orange and white with what looked like hedge clippers stuck to his head. "DLN-003, Cut Man, status report?"
The robot went into an excessively 'cool' pose taken straight out of Sentai anime. "The invincible Cut Man is ready for action at any time!"
Wily raised an eyebrow as Vinyl giggled. "Invincible?" he asked sardonically.
"But of course!" Cut Man proclaimed, shifting into another pose. "For I am the first built of this set, so of course I am the best!"
"But you're number 003," Wily pointed out.
"You would be wise to beware the power of 3!" Cut Man countered, pointing at him dramatically.
"You're ridiculous!" Wily proclaimed as Vinyl burst into more laughter. "You have hedge clippers on your head!"
"My power is beyond mere mortal minds to comprehend!" Cut Man bragged.
Wily stared at him for a time as Vinyl laughed even more. "Just...just let me check for damage from the sonic barrage..."
"The invincible Cut Man is unaffected by mere sound!
Shaking his head ruefully, Wily held up a data disc. "Just install this program. It'll...make people realize your greatness-"
"MINE!" Cut Man proclaimed, quickly installing it.
Wily quickly moved on to the next robot master. "That was...unnerving. What were we thinking giving him that personality? ...oh, right. Tom left all the personality cores on random, so they could become their own beings to an extent." He approached the next Robot Master, who was orange, yellow, and black, wore a hard hat, and looked like a power lifter. "DLN-004, Guts Man, status report?"
"I am Guts Man," the robot replied in a thick Austrian accent. "I lift things up and put them down."
Wily stared at him. "...did you take any damage from the sonic barrage?"
"I am Guts Man. I lift things up and put them down."
Vinyl let out a snicker. Sighing, Wily held out a data disc identical to the one he'd offered Cut Man. "Install this program," he instructed.
"I am Guts Man," Guts Man replied as he installed it. "I lift things up and put them down."
"Right..." Wily turned to the next robot master...or what should have been the next robot master, but was instead an industrial strength freezer shaking like a leaf. "DLN-005, Ice Man?" Wily asked.
"Go away!" Ice Man shouted from inside the freezer. "I'm not coming out and you can't make me! I'm safe from the big, scary world out there in this small, tight, dark, cold freezer..." A tiny robot in a blue and white snow suit burst out of the freezer. "I'm scared of the dark, cold, and enclosed spaces!" he wailed. Glancing around at the room at large, he dove back into the freezer. "I'm scared of open spaces, people, and ponies!"
Wily just stared for a time. "...here," he said, handing over another copy of the data disc. "This will make you braver."
"I'm scared of installing new programs!" Ice Man wailed as he obeyed instructions to install it.
Wily sighed as he went to the next Robot Master. "DLN-006, Bomb Man, status report."
"I am Bomb Man," the orange, black, and yellow robot with a mohawk replied. "What can I do for you doctor?" The robot was smiling softly, eyes closed as it sat upon a pile of bombs.
Wily blinked for a bit. "I'm...checking to see if you were damaged by the sonic barrage."
"Sound is part of the universe," Bomb Man replied serenely. "I am one with the universe. Ergo, I am one with the sound, and can take no harm from it. For what reason would I harm myself?"
Wily and Vinyl both stared at him, somewhat slack jawed. "Well...I have this program for you to install..."
Bomb Man gravely accepted the data disc. "I shall become one with the program, and in doing so grow closer to enlightenment, and oneness with all things."
Wily backed off quickly before he started to make sense. The next robot was grey and red, and had what looked like torches for hands and head. "DLN-007, Fire Man, status report?" Wily called out.
"Doc!" Fire Man replied, rushing forward to grab Wily by his arms. "Thank goodness you're here! You've gotta help me! It's just terrible!"
"What?" Wily asked in shock. "Did you take serious damage from the sonic barrage?"
"Worse!" Fire Man wailed. He pointed to the flames from the torch that was his head. "My head is on fire!"
Wily stared at him, nonplussed. Vinyl giggled.
Fire Man bowed to Vinyl. "Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week."
Wily groaned. "Just...just install this," he groaned, holding out the data disc.
"You gonna stick that in me doc?" Fire Man asked. "Gonna do it hard?"
WIly choked as Vinyl giggled. "That is not appropriate humor in front of an infant!"
"If she's old enough to get it, she's old enough to hear it!" Fire Man countered.
Wily face palmed. "Just...do you want your laugh track or not?"
"Sweet!" Fire Man snatched the disc and dashed off to install it.
Groaning, Wily approached the last robot master. "DLN-008, Elec Man...status report?" There was dread in his voice.
The red, black, and yellow robot master bowed, his yellow mask covering most of his face. "Forsooth, the good doctor approaches. Fie on thee who would doubt his will, for he brings good tidings and health in his wake!"
Wily stared at the robot for a time. "Nope," he said finally. "Not dealing with this now." He held out the disc. "Just install it."
"Verily!" Elec Man proclaimed as he took the disc and installed it. "As thou hast commanded, so shall I do, to bring glory to thy name!"
Wily turned and left, heading back to the main lab. "I need a drink..." he mumbled.
Vinyl cooed up at him, holding up the milk bottle which was not quite empty, offering it to him.
Seeing this, Albert couldn't help but chuckle. "Not the kind I meant...but thanks." He gave her a quick peck just above her horn, making her squirm and giggle happily.

What is it with you making Wily into a ham?
Aww, not calling Protoman "Blues" before the robot rebellion? Oh well.
Also, any plans for Oil Man and Time Man from Powered Up?
Fire Man is best robot.
So... Cheesy!
Good to see Vinyl can turn robots into Thor
My favorite line from all of your stories (the last chapter of you can't spell slaughter without laughter doesn't count because it would be the entire chapter)... being honest I kinda wish you would have updated Melody of the future first.
The Powerpuff Girls?
You know for some reason I can actually see Vinyl and Bass hooking up.
6312150 You mean Wily wasn't a HUGE ham everywhere already? Cause I'm pretty sure Wily being a ham is just canon to his character. Yes even in the games.
encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTIouZ4YMELcBAR-1hvtWI61JBXq4YwGedEpyQ5OXrdw7gtavLRSg
Evil makes it giggle!
great chapter...almost.
this is actually impossible, as Protoman had left before Light had even gotten started on Rock and Roll. just lettin the Mega Nerd in me out.
Anyone else thinks gut man is a little like Heavy from tf2?
6312443
In case the unique spins on the robot masters personalities didn't make the point, I'm going to be playing a little loose with canon to a certain extent.
6310021
And Suddenly that would be cool.
6312165
. Maybe tied with Protoman... what's with me and the unfinished ones???
I approve of this idea, as I think Time Man is best robot
Wily, maybe you should rethink this. Use robots that aren't insane?
Oh my God I absolutely LOVE what you're doing with Fireman! I need moar!!
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
6312453 oh i know, (love the personalities btw, especially Elecmans) its just the inner mega nerd in me. anyway, im guessing Protos little...problem is still bothering him?
6312812
For now.
I really hope it turns out Vinyl is the one who builds Zero, not Wily
Love what you've done with the Robot Masters.
Because nobody else did it yet:
can u do one with Teenage mutant ninja turtles Please !
If u have the time
Nice personality. I can just see Rock fighting his way through the Masters only to be brought to a halt by Vinyl sitting in his way. I'd suggest she more play with him and eventually get tired instead of fight to the death. Or Rock has to find an innovative way to entertain her with the master weapons before she'll unlock the door for him.
Bomb Man being one with the universe is awesome unless he decides to make a Big Bang replication, Ice man being a total coward is cool, Fire Man as a comedian can roast any SNL performer, Guts Man can out muscle the Governator, Cut Man has sheer insanity, and Elec Man... well I think his circuits are fried.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
This is too cute!
6313348 The CMC & the TMNT. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
6312816 ^^^^^ Be afraid. Be very afraid. ^^^^^
Ohhhhhhhhhh I am gonna love the interactions between Vinyl and Proto
6314171 Cutie Mark Crusaders NINJAS YAY !!!!!!!
6313854 I've seen soul eater. The scared ones are powerful as hell. Calling it now he's going to be OP.
"Sargeant, are the shields operational?"
"Yes, Captain. The shields should hold as long as the level of feels doesn't increase."
"And the Redshirts?"
"Dead."
"Sargeant, have all remaining nonessential crew demoted to Redshirt status. We need human shields."
6312293 I can see that. Heck, Bass won't be as angry compared to his canon and Battle Network selves if he hangs out with Vinyl often.
6314748 If that happens, the Mane Six won't underestimate 'em now.
6316798 It's all about the BASS CANNON!
Earthbound reference?
It's like Bob and George all over again, but with an adorable Vinyl Scratch foal.
6317282
Yup!
6317906 Huh, I would've gone with Charmed or PPG.
6313854 Haha, Ice Man is cool.
6313004 And his secondary weapon is a bass cannon?
OHMYGOSHSOINCREBIBLYCUTEILOVEWIDDLEVINYL!!!!
I Shall Forevermore Imagine That Guts Man Has The Voice Of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Cut Man The Narcissist Is Amazing. As Is Zen Bomb Man And Fire Man The Comedian. Actually, They All Are Amazing In My Mind.
Best Regards,
Prophet_Of_Madness
Elec Man is Shakespeare.
6317906
Even you read Bob And George?!
Just how popular was that webcomic!?
6312150 Mmmm ham
still waiting for the Sunset/Star Fox crossover you promised me
6360603 I think instead of Star Fox, it should be Sly Cooper. Not only was Sly R&C's rival for PS2 mascot, but Sunset has already done robbery. It would fit right in.
Those personality cores, though
6312293 Huh...I just only imagined them sharing a friendship once they got to know each other, but that sounds good, too.
6327064 It's a good comic. I read it back during high school.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!
Best personalities of the Masters!
Guts Man's only other line will be something about laminating women.
"I am Guts Man."
"I am Groot."
Am I right?
