Home Invader
As Mega Man made his way into Wily's Fortress, he was rather surprised to discover that no robots blocked his path. There were obstacles of various sorts - everything from flame pillars to blocked paths to spikes - but nothing was attacking him. After everything else he'd been through, that made him nervous. It was almost as though Wily was trying to lull him into a false sense of security...which meant there could be a trap around any corner! Unless Wily was trying to make him paranoid?
Between the existential dilemma and growing paranoia, it took Mega Man a long time to make his way through the Fortress. Finally, he came across the first guardian of the Fortress...the Yellow Devil.
The large beast was really just a mass of amorphous nanotech controlled by a core, but it made use of its abilities. Bits of it flew around the room, trying to hit Mega Man as he leapt around, watching for the points where he could zap the core. Eventually, it went down...only to get back up again.
"This is not good," Mega Man muttered as he prepared for another battle...only for the yellow devil to slip away through the cracks, opening another path for him as it went. "Why does this feel even worse?"
The next area of the Fortress was high up in the air, and Mega Man had to be careful to avoid falling to his death. Again, there were occasional obstacles, but no enemies. Despite areas that would have been perfect places for an ambush from one of the Robot Masters that had been stolen back again - that theft is what had led Mega Man straight to the Fortress - nothing came to face him. His paranoia grew, and he began to get nervous every time he jumped.
As he began to climb downward, however, the genius of the design began to become apparent. There were plenty of things that could damage Mega Man, but nothing he could destroy in the hopes of salvaging the smaller cores to replenish energy, weapon or otherwise. Nor were there any scattered supplies he could cannibalize. Wily had turned his Fortress into an attrition battle.
In the next large boss chamber, a device descended and began to scan Mega Man. In his panic, he shot the device with Elec Man's weapon, frying it completely before it could finish its task. A new path opened up.
Following this new path led Mega Man down a long, winding path to another boss chamber, this one being underwater. A current had even pushed Mega Man all the way there. This boss was a sequence of small floating turrets in air bubbles. The main problem for Mega Man was to break the air bubbles, at which point the turrets were crushed by the water.
In the next section, there was once again no robots to fight Mega Man, putting him into a bit of a panic. After a bit of difficult jumping, however, Mega Man came across a teleporter. With nowhere else to go, he stepped inside.
It led him to another chamber...where all six Robot Masters awaited him. "...well, this just ain't fair," he complained as they all leveled their weapons against him.
"I'd respond with the appropriately comedic line," Fire Man replied, "but Vinyl might be watching."
"Do try to keep your cursing to a minimum, Mega Man," Ice Man agreed as they all opened fire.
The barrage of weapons went on for a long time as Bomb Man deployed a massive amount of Hyper Bombs, ready to blast whatever was left to kingdom come. However, when the smoke cleared, Mega Man became visible...unharmed, and surrounding by swirling flames.
"I love shield weapons," Mega Man said happily.
"You may be able to survive an onslaught," Elec Man pointed out, "but your energy is limited! You cannot hope to outlast us all!"
"I don't have to," Mega Man replied, shifting to Hyper Bombs. "I've disabled my shot limiter." He then proceeded to empty his Hyper Bombs into the air towards them before shifting back to the Flame Shot/Shield. "I bring you destruction." Taking aim, he fired, the flame flying towards the bombs as the shield surrounded him.
Bomb Man grinned as he watched the flame approach the mass of bombs. "Clever-"
The Fortress shook from the massive explosion as all the bombs went off at once.
Slightly smokey, Mega Man continued on through the Fortress to another chamber, where he found who he sought. "Dr. Wily!" he called out. "For crimes-"
"Shush!" Wily hissed. "Vinyl's down for her nap, and if you wake her I will personally tear you limb from limb, hook your head, CPU, and personality core up to a potato battery to keep all three running, and make you watch a remix of Teletubbies, Batman & Robin, and My Little Pony Newborn Cuties endlessly(1)!"
Mega Man immediately shut up.
Wily nodded. "Now go sit in that corner like a good robotic defender of justice until she wakes up," he instructed. "I'll be sitting here next to her cradle so she doesn't set up an unholy racket when she wakes up, like she does whenever she wakes up and doesn't see me."
Both took their indicated seats, and Mega Man sat in silence, waiting. Eventually, Vinyl stirred and opened her eyes, smiling up at Wily. "Da!" she said happily, stretching up to nuzzle Wily's hand.
"Morning, sleepyhead," he teased. "Ready to watch me kick Mega Man's butt before I blow this place up and we adjourn to our new home?"
Vinyl nodded eagerly.
Mega Man frowned. "Wily, I've beaten the Robot Masters...twice. I made it through the Fortress easily-"
"Because I'd shut down most of the defenses so Vinyl could sleep," Wily interrupted.
Mega Man blinked, surprised that the reasoning was that simple. "At any rate, what makes you think anything you've built will stop me?"
"Who says I'm using something I've built?" Wily asked, lifting something out of Vinyl's crib to point it at Mega Man.
BZZZOWNN!
The sonic disruption blast sheared right through Mega Man's chest, leaving a fist sized hole all the way through him.
"You'll never be able to stop me until Dr. Light figures out how to counteract sonic weaponry," Wily explained as Mega Man fell over. "I missed your power core, though. I've only shut off your motor control. We'll be leaving now." The crib and various other things became surrounded by teleportation energy. "I suggest you teleport back to Dr. Light before the self destruct system takes you out with it." With that, Wily, Vinyl, and several other items vanished.
Mega Man lay back as his distress beacon alerted Dr. Light to beam him out. "...not fair..." he whimpered.

I'm GLaD you put that reference in.
*slow claps*
6398564 Nice pun.
I hope i'm not the only one who spotted this.
YOU WOULDN'T...
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course he would!
A very enjoyable chapter. Great job.
6398590 Don't worry, you weren't
6398590 You weren't. Though I don't think old Rock makes a very good Yon Valentine.
Honestly? A reversal of Bombmans own zen would be terrifying. Good thing Megaman went Lord Beerus on them instead. It's a shame Elecman didn't get to be even slightly hammy. Then again, he would of probably pulled a DMC4 Dante, and he just can't pull that off. It would be entertaining to see, but he still couldn't make it work. Also, Fireman got himself back under control! Yay! Not nearly as horrifyingly terrifying when he is his usual happy go lucky self.
Counteracting a sonic weapon is actually pretty simple - just firing another sonic shot at the blast. Basically sonic waves are slight disturbances in the air like dominoes falling. So when one shots back, these two waves both cancel each other. It's more complicated than this of course, but it's not real world we're talking about.
6398590
You weren't
heh, I almost pity Rock
A very interesting Take on wily. This is going good, MORE MUST BE MADE!
... To be continued in Mega Man 2?
6398722
You're right that all Mega Man would have to do to block a sonic disruption shot is hit the blast with one of his own.
It's a pity Vinyl's the only one who knows how to make a functional sonic disruptor, which Wily's careful to keep out of reach of Mega Man's weapon copy system, isn't it?
I was just scrollng though my read later stories and i found that this one just got recently updated and i was like
OMAHGERD
6398812
Who said he needs another sonic disruptor? A powerful enough sound emitter(big club speakers, for example) can at least lessen the damage, and maybe completeli mitigate it. Though Mega Man should choose a right sound for this.
6398975
Because the sonic disruptor is a highly focused sound wave that doesn't effect anything outside its radius. Mega Man would need to counter it with an equally focused wave of sound to disrupt it without exploding human heads from the level of decibels required for a general sonic barrage to have the same effect.
6398980
The sonic disruption works by vibrating the molecules until they fall apart within the range of the blast. Now, that's not to say designing armor that creates its own vibration to interfere with the sonic blast wouldn't work...but it's not as straight forward as anyone's saying so far.
And either way, for Light to effectively combat the weapon, he'd need to see it.
You really seem to absolutely adore Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.
I mean, seriously, I think all, or at least most, of your A.D. stories reference it at some point.
6399058
As The Fiery Joker said in one of his videos, TFS is just so quotable.
Also, there's this.
6398980 its not the decibels, or volume, of the sound, its the sound frequency. in order to counteract Vynals disrupter, Megaman would have to match the frequency and power of the sound. and by match i mean match it exactly, exact frequency, exact volume, exact everything
6399078
Precisely what I'm saying.
Which would require analysis of the original weapon...or enough times recording getting shot by it to reverse engineer it.
6399065 Ah yes, I am quite aware of that lovely little story of yours, and I look forward to when it is next updated.
Also, he is right. It really is very quotable.
6399085 I'm bettin' on black! :D I mean, getting shot a lot.
6399176
Except that, as established when Vinyl first built the weapon, weaponized sound is still a fully theoretical field of study, meaning before Light could analyze the weapon he has to get enough information with which to invent the tech to analyze it.
Either that, or just improve Mega Man's dodge subroutines. It does take 11 seconds to recharge, after all.
That Papa Wolf Wily, though...
Ok.... weird version of the fortress. But I can totally see Wily and Vinyl showing up at Christmas or Dr. Light's Birthday for a truce and party and Rock glaring at Vinyl. To bad Dr. Light can't get some Vibranium from Wakandan to make Rock's armor with.
Nice Portal reference. And Papa Wily is awesome, I can totally see him halting a fight with Rock if Vinyl runs into the room for some reason later on, ie one of her experiments caused a fire or something.
6399000 you mean he might have to do this?
Clever Girl...
Since you completed the first Mega-Man game, here's some ideas for the robot masters in Megaman 2
-Metal Man: A serious rocker who loves heavy metal.
-Flash Man: loves to take pictures, mostly selfies
-Quick Man: jumps to conclusions, interrupts conversations, and thinks he's the best
-Crash Man: loves to dig all the time and has a hillbilly accent.
-Wood Man: only says "I am Wood Man" parody to Groot.
-Air Man: is very artistic and dreams of flying.
-Bubble Man: Wants to be a fish and has a short memory span like a fish.
-Heat man: Super anger problem and speaks a lot of nonsense.
6398812
He would have to mirror the frequency. sound waves can be canceled out my hitting the frequency, but in reverse.... or something like that. I really only know a little about it.
6399923
NOR ME, LET'S FIND OUT!
BOOM.
poor mega man. more please! please pleasepleaseplease!
Oh hi! So, how are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO!!
6399189 At full power though... If it was at 9.1 percent power, he would be able to fire it continuously. And then if it is still powerful enough, it could cause a sensor overload. Or if all else fails: MORE DAKKA!!!
"personality core up to a potato battery"

HAH! Dude got PWNED, and Wily didn't even have to try.
Bad Game, Son. Bad Game.
Oh, and gotta love Portal. Now I'm just waiting for some Combustible Lemons.
6401131 Have you read Batmare beyond?
Joker is now just a pair of potatoes.
Gaah... Must...contain.......
THIS SILENCE OFFENDS THE SCRATCH!!!!
*record scratch*
THINGS WILL GET LOUD NOW!!!
...God dammit.....
6402104 Oh dear.
6402539 (In case you haven't read it)
He was just one potato, but whenever he freaked out (and god knows how many times he will), there wasn't enough energy to keep up with his emotions. He wouldn't remember it afterward.
Now he is a pair of potatoes.
Adorableness off of the frigging chart!
"Shush!" Wily hissed. "Vinyl's down for her nap, and if you wake her I will personally tear you limb from limb, hook your head, CPU, and personality core up to a potato battery to keep all three running, and make you watch a remix of Teletubbies, Batman & Robin, and My Little Pony Newborn Cuties endlessly(1)!"

and this is where fire man pre-recorded appropriately comedic line starts playing just after willy and vinyl leave, you know just to rub the metaphorical salt on the wound and give him the final joke
6402645 "I literally do not have the energy capacity to lie."
-GLaDOS
how will vinyl react to the law that states robots must be destroyed personality cores and all once they past there programing exp date or an newer model comes out.
6405598 He didn't have the energy to throw a hissy fit. He still lies.
Awesome point and quote, by the way.
6408721
That should have been Wheatley's punishment. I get the Portal 2 reference ther though. However, not all of GLaDOS' programming could fit in,cor function inside a potato. Would any of Mega Man's fucntions be diminished, maybe a slow clap function?
