7: Let it Shine
Vinyl watched as she saw Mega Man racing off to face Bass and his gang of Robot Master motorcyclists. She could see that he was already enjoying himself from the concept alone, and she knew that Bass would too. However, the more she thought about the concept and stared at everything that was happening, the more she realized...something was missing. Sure, the entire thing was over the top...but it wasn't quite enough. But the more she pursued the thought, the more she hit a dead end.
"What's missing?" she mused aloud. "It feels like there's something I could add, something to really make this stand out as epic, something we'll remember for years to come...but what does it need?" She continued to pace. "What could I possibly add?"
"If you can't think of something on your own," Typhon suggested from nearby, "perhaps you should ask a friend? Perhaps Kalinka has an idea."
"Hmm..." Vinyl mused. "Possible..." Pulling out her cell phone, she called her friend. "Hey, Kalinka? Robot Masters on motorcycles. What's missing? ...no, I'm not making them play cards. I'm shooting for awesome, not absurd. ...okay, maybe a little of both, but more the former. Mega Man doesn't even play Trading Card Games, and the motorcycles don't have the proper systems..." Her eyes widened. "Of course! Thanks so much, Kalinka! And I know just how to do it! You'd better get over here, cause this show's gonna be off the chain!" Hanging up, she raced to her lab, calling up a few designs while accessing the net. "Let's see what I can do with this..." She froze as she saw something she'd included in her internet favorites, something from a normally unpleasant experience that had - in her eyes - achieved awesomeness. "Oh ho ho...yes! That one! But now then, how to make it work? I need to do it justice..." She turned as she heard Wily coming in. "Daddy! I wanna warp reality again! Be facetious in suggesting something absurd!"
Albert blinked, a bit surprised at Vinyl's suggestion, but caught in her excitement just from how into whatever she was doing she was. "...magic circles on computer chips?" he offered, throwing out the first thing that popped into his head.
Vinyl's smile widened even further as she rubbed her forehooves together. "Perfect! And if I set the material the circles are made of to respond to specific subharmonics...I've got the materials for only two, but that's all I'll need..."
Albert rubbed his chin a bit worriedly. "So...why are you trying to warp reality?" he asked worriedly.
"Because Kalinka said the motor-battle needs background music, and I'm gonna do the perfect song justice!" she proclaimed. "Now where's my totally-not-a-screwdriver?"
"Behind your ear," Wily pointed out, deciding to see just where she was going with this. As he saw her working, he decided to add his own suggestions, helping her put the chips in the proper order for activation. One thing he was certain of.
If this worked, he seriously doubted if she'd ever be able to top it.
...he sent a quick signal to Bass and the other Robot Masters to delay confrontation with Mega Man until this was ready.
Mega Man zoomed down the road on Rush Cycle, his shades catching the light of the setting sun as his scarf flowed in the air behind him. It would take him a while to catch up with the Robot Masters since he wasn't teleporting, but he was enjoying the anticipation. He could already tell this was going to be an epic showdown, and he wanted to do it right.
As he drove, Beat - a rather pudgy blue bird support unit Dr. Light had built to back up Eddie - flew in, clutching something in his talons. Mega Man slowed to let Beat catch up, holding out his hand to receive the dropped...cassette tape. He stared at it for a time, seeing no label or any other details on it. He wasn't sure why Beat delivered it, but he knew it was supposed to help him somehow. Though he couldn't understand why there were computer chips inside it. He was pretty sure cassette tapes didn't run on computer chips.
Shrugging, he checked to see if Rush had a cassette player in Cycle mode. To his surprise, he did. Shrugging his shoulders, he put the cassette in, letting Rush load it up as he gripped the handlebars.
Then the music began to play...and everything changed.
Before Mega Man's very eyes, the world around him seemed to change. The buildings he drove between soared higher, casting deeper shadows as the whole world became painted in the colors of the setting sun. Lights flickered and glowed, as the various bots that Robot Masters controlled stepped out, subtly changed. They were darker, more angular, and moved to the beat of the music.
Looking down, Mega Man discovered that he and Rush had also changed. Rush's cycle form was far more elongated, with the handlebars now stretching to above Mega Man's head as he gripped them. The two wheels were much larger, and lightning seemed to race along the rims. Rush's face at the front of the cycle had shifted, his eyes glowing white as his mouth opened wide, baring razor sharp teeth in an audible snarl.
Mega Man's own armor had changed appearance, reaching harder angles at each of his joints. The buster portions of his arms were more clearly defined, and his body seemed somewhat slimmed down and lengthened. His armor still had the same durability, but it had a more stylized appearance, in looks more to convey the sense of being armored than the actuality. Small spikes rose from his shoulder epaulets, glimmering like stars. His shades had changed shape, the ends stretching upward into sharp points. The scarf was now blood red, contrasting with his shimmering blue armor.
Above him, Beat had changed shape, his body stretched out, losing his pudge. What had once been a fat bluebird was now a sleek eagle. He let out a startled cry that tore the air, a true raptor's cry.
Lowering his head back to the road before him, Mega Man grinned widely. "Vinyl," he whispered. Twisting Rush's handlebars, he pulled his cycle into a high wheelie before shooting down the road to an epic confrontation, a trail of fire racing to keep up with the wheels that left it.

Welp. Someone needs to do a drawing of the transformations before and after. Besides that;
ALL THE YES!
This is genius!!! It's basically magical circuitry, so it can be activated with Science. MAGITECH ACHIEVED!!! Now if only I could get Intel to do this in real life....
Well... things certainly got more epic, though I suggest if Bass and Mega Man see some punk driver almost cause an accident they put their confrontation on hold long enough to the punk out for the cops to lock up, chug an E-tank each, and then get back into the race/fight.
SWEET.
... So I just realized. A rendition of a popular franchise in which the characters perform tasks where people of opposing moralities drive an assortment of vehicles in order to "change the formula"...
*I look in every direction to find someone waiting to tear into me.* Eh, whatever. Nuts and Bolts. There, joke done.
What race... derby... fury road... whatever you'd call this, would be complete without some iconic racing music?
*Onlookers still... look on in anticipation for the eventual destruction*
Please, that joke is WAY too easy to make. Besides, from what I can see so far, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this in particular... nothing I can think of at the moment, anyways.
... Can't say I'm familiar with this, but oh well. I'll see that particular episode and see how people either hate it or "meh" it. Then again, maybe it's "super special awesome" or something due to the song itself or the episode it was featured in. Whatever the case may be, this'll ALWAYS be a kicker to me.
From Dave to Dirk... anyways, see you later.
As much as I hate Teen Titans GO!, I cannot deny that the music link's pretty decent. Not bad, Tatsu
Okay I just had an idea: Robot Masters dressed up as Megaman.
For those who have not seen the scene in question, I found this:
I'll take note of this once Capcom decides they've got a system that they can make a proper Megaman Legends remake the same way Nintendo decided to do a continuation of Metroid prime and put it on hold until the new 3ds was out.
Yes they did Tats...Yes I think that might be the Idea with legends project...Yes that's why Street fighter is being abused so much for money.
I was hoping you'd try some kamen rider...
A very enjoyable chapter. Great job.
WE NEED FANART OF THIS SCENE YESTERDAY!!!!
7177912
Yeah, we would need science to accept that there is a energy field they don't understand, that be accessed by 'magic' users first.
for the second part, that would be a great addition.
moving along, that was an amazing twist to an already unique idea for a Megaman game.
..So basically, Vinyl placed pure, extremely concentrated awesomesauce into a song, and then put it in a cassette to add the 80's vibe.
I love it.
Considering that they're doin a motorcycle gang chase, i thought that something dark and deep would work.
Seriously! I TEEN TITANS GO SONG!?
How dare you support that mockery of a great show.
7178159 WHERE'S THE GUITAR GUY!?!?!?
Here's a suggestion. Have someone say, "You've activated my trap card!" or something like that. it would be great. :P
7178213 "well you activated my Alucard"
Imma dork
please tell me that one of the other songs on the Cassettes is True Survivor.
[youtube=ES9vRfs2rbA]
7178179 Nice to know I'm not the only one.
7178077 Well, I look at it like this: magic circle = program that alters reality when executed. And then there's this little gem:
Given some Robot Master abilities like Shadow Man's ability to produce giant shuriken as big as his head out of thin air, Bomb Man's ready to go explosives, and the various Flash Stopper based weapons you could claim they've already gotten magic. So all Vinyl or Wily has to do is make up some techno babble to explain how the circle works and they're good to go. Plus, adorable unicorn filly saying, "It's magic!" sounds legit to me.
7178332 I meant in our world, but that sounds amusing as well.
...but! But! ...Ghost Rider Skull Man...
SM: "Don't mind me, I'm here for Bass."
B: "Why me?"
SM: "I'm going to make you suffer for ny innocent blood or oil spilled. No biggie."
B: "And you're going to do it on that tiny thing?"
*Skull Man's cute green moped becomes a hellish skeleton motorcycle with visible flames on the wheels and back.*
SM: "Run that by me one more time?"
But still I wonder when Megaman 8 rolls(heh see what I did there) how you're going to explain this:
My guess Vinyl will blackmail everyone or something.
7178431
Same way Two Evil Scientists did.
And I'm not going to say anymore, for the benefit of those who don't know the comic.
... dang it Vinyl, you're never going to be able to top this. You wanted epic, it doesn't get more epic than this.
Gosh Darn it!
Well Played fellow lover of The Song... well played...
7178179 The song is Amazing, despite its not so upstanding Origins
Huh. Yeah, that was pretty epic.
7178332 I prefer the version of that saying from Girl Genius,
Agatha's third law: "Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
And here I was hoping for this song
[youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5YtGaba6rR4]
7178624 lol
And it was on this day, a day unlike any other that Megaman went from Megaboy to truly a Megaman. XD
7178179 To be fair the song and the EP it was from is actually one of the best ones the series as done since it first started. It goes to show that Teen Titans Go CAN actually be great if the effort is put into it.
One word appeared in my mind during this chapter: Whoa...!
7178672 I wouldn't say that song quite fits...
But dude, nice
Also, you might wanna fix that link
7178416 Tricycle.
It HAS to be a tricycle.
7179923 Ghost Rider Sans Skull Man on a Hellish blue skeleton motor trike made of bone and broken robot parts.
...I'm also wondering if Tat will bring in Hyper Megaman or not.
EDIT: I forgot to add "motor trike". Also, Roll doesn't get enough love in the story.
...to be more specific: I don't ship RockxRoll. I know they're robots, but its still a gross ship.
loading.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TvCRoll.jpg
7180107 Roll has only been mentioned what? 3 to four times? Perhaps with the absence of Auto, she could take his place as Dr. Light's assistant?
7180305 Auto and Roll's new look doesn't show up 'till MM8. We got time.
7180357 Well I said that since Auto shows up in MM7. And we currently are in MM7, with no Auto.
Though to be honest, I never really did like Auto. Exept when he helped in MM8 with his Fireworks Bazooka.
Another thing is the Stardroids, I can't see them being in this fic unless one of two things happen. Either they end up being Wub Masters, or the Gigamix Manga and Archie comics plots are implemented, in which they actually are alien built robots.
Appropriate background music makes everything more bad ass. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the great work. Deus tecum.
This is definitely the best PWNY story.
I would expect nothing less from the great DJ Pwn-3.
7178672 7179071
Here ya go:
7178523 Oh ye of little faith, it can always get more epic.
7178017 was that a drug trip?
Reminds me of Ghost Rider. I know it's just coincidence because Ghost Rider is too..... Whatever it's classified as.... For this story, but still.
Sorry if someone said this before me. I didn't read through any comments before typing this.
This little light of mine...
