A NEW ERA

By Geoffrey Eisenbarth

Prologue

" Zhy canıt you beat Mega Man!" Yelled Wily to Bass after Bass got defeated by Mega Man earlier that day.

" Now I will zave zo repair zou, and zy chaos machine will be delayed even more and the word will wait even longer to be under my control." " Sorry, master. I have let thee down. Do I have much damage, I kept on fighting after my energy ran out and used my Internal Energy and I feel too weak to move."

" Bass? Can you hear me? Bass!" Just then Bass "Passed out" from too much use of Internal Energy. Even though this recharges too mush let out at one time will seriously hurt a robot. Wily managed to hook him up to a recharger which, given time will quickly recharge Bass and that enabled Bass to speak.

" Am I O.k.?"

" Great, I zeed a Energy Balancer." Said Wily ignoring Bass question.

" Hmmm, Zi know"

" Wily, am I goinı to survive?" Asked Bass.

" Zaybe, I think I can make you even Zore powerful zhan zou were!"

" How?"

" Easy, youıll see, but Iıll need zelp from a zold friend."

" Who?" Questioned Bass.

" Will I be stronger than Mega Man?"

" Those questions will be answered soon." Said Wily as he left to go contact his "friend".

Chapter 1: Long Time No See

At 2:30 in the morning a certain red clad humanoid was carefully walking down the hall careful not to wake anyone up. He was in Lights Œs lab and was meeting Wily to give him an Energy Balancer, because Bass needed it.

" Oh oh, footsteps!" He thought, thinking it was Light or Mega Man. Immediately he jumped to the ceiling on which he hung on a metal bar. The "Mysterious Person" turned around and Proto jumped down 2 stories and realized who it was.

" Oh, itıs you. Here is the balancer you needed for Bass"

"Thank zou for you zelp Proto, I donıt znow zhere Iıd be zithout you, zell now I am going to install it into Bassı system."

" Do you need my help?" inquired Protoman

" No, zhatıs O.k."

" Well I be goinı" Dr. Wily didnıt even ask where Protoman was going because he was used to Proto going out in the nights. As soon as Light left Protoman when outside via the skylights to get some air. Then over the horizon he saw a group of people going to, where Protoman thought, Dr. Wily Œs lab, so he asked

" Hey Doc. You excepting company.?" Said Proto just as Wily was going to leave.

" No, zhy" Proto went back up and then it hit him

" There goin' to attack this lab! I gotta go wake up Mega Man and the rest!" He tried to teleport to there rooms but remembered

" Dang it! My teleporter is broken!" He ran at top speed all the way to every room to warn them

" Just great" he said as he ran to wake everybody up. "This defiantly isnıt from Wily, but who then?" Proto thought. Before long he woke Roll, Light, Mega Man and the others up and took them to the roof.

" Look someone is attacking us! And it ainıt Wily!"

" How do you know?" Asked Mega Man.

" I have my resources, now look!"

" Whoa, this looks serious." Said Mega Man.

"Light try as hard as you can to finish Tenor and to finish making Protoıs enhancement suit, and if possible start making me a Energy Saber. Get Roll and Auto to help you." After Mega Man had told Dr. Light what to do he replied

"O.k. , Roll, Auto, come with me"

"Come on bro, lets go. " stated Mega Man

" Just a sec. Light! My teleporter doesnıt work! Try to fix it over the Internet that you installed in my helmet yesterday.

" O.k." said Dr. Light.

" I am right behind you bro." Proto replied They jumped off the roof and started attacking the robots. They had no idea of there weaknesses like Mega Man ( Protoman didnıt want to loose Wily Œs trust by fighting him ) did with Wily Œs robots so they decided to try everything.

" Proto! You take the robots and Iıll take that 3 story freak show over there, I think he is the one controlling them.

" So, think your the best, huh?" teased Protoman. After this Mega Man went on for the "Boss"

" These donıt seem anything like the Œbots of Wily" said Protoman while shooting a level 4 to destroy some of the robots.

" I know, they donıt look like them either. They seem different but I donıt know what it is." Said Mega Man while firing at his opponents head.

" Oh, well theyıre easy enough" Proto started digging in on the robots. Most of them were human-like, such were Protoman and Mega Man. In about a half an hour they were almost finished with the robots and Mega Man had the "Boss" down on his knees and asked

" Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

" My name no longer matters, but if you wish to know, my name is Sonic I come to serve one who is on his way to eliminate all humans for what they do to us robots."

" Shut up and stay still!" ordered Mega Man. Just as he was saying this Proto finished the rest of the robots. Then he heard Dr. Light on the transmitter that was in his helmet.

" Protoman come to the lab I need you to try the enhancement suit for you, itıs just about finished,"

" Great! " Replied Proto. Then started to teleport out.

" Dang it! My teleporter is broken, remember?"

" Not anymore, I fixed it first"

"Mega Man the suit for me is finished! I gotta go try it. You can beat this piece of scrap metal, if you need my help just call me one the new microphone set Light put in us last week" He had almost teleported out..

" Here, you might need this"

" You sure?"

" Yea, take it " Said Protoman while handing Mega Man his Proto Shield. Then the "Master" started talking again

" I could kill you right now, I know all about you, being a humanoid-robot and all. But I decided to let you and you brother live a little longer." Said Sonic.

" I said shut up!" After equipping the Proto Shield he saw Roll running out and Mega Man yelled

" Roll get out of here, itıs dangerous!"

" But I got your saber!"

" I said go! Run!"

" But Dr. Light wanted me to give this to you"

"Go!" Just as fate would of made it Sonic rose to his feet and shot a level 5 blast at Roll

" Augh!" Yelled Roll in constant pain

" Roll! Are you O.k.?" He ran up to her and had Dr. Light teleport her to his lab.

" Will she be O.k.?" Asked Mega on the transmitter while charging up his blaster and pointing it at Sonic.

" I donıt know, she wasnıt built for getting shot at. I will try to repair her with Protoıs help. I donıt know if it is that bad."

" O.k."

" So you think you can stand a fight with me huh buddy? You think you can just walk in and start killing my family huh? Mega Man said while charging up his Blaster even more he was steamed at what he did with Roll.

" No one messes with my sister! Take this! Freak!" Mega Man jumped over to where the robot was standing and released it right on his arm which tore it off in a fraction of a second.

" Aughhh!" Shouted the mysterious robot.

" The showdown is over" Mega man paused while charging his Blaster

" And you lost!" He jumped towards the robot to finish him off. Just then it seemed as if it was glowing brighter and brighter, soon it got to bright for Mega Man to look at so he shielded his eyes. Mega Man shot his blaster directly at Sonicıs head but it didnıt do any good because right before the blast hit him, Sonic let lose a full charged plasma blast. Protoman teleported in just in time to see a explosion that would of killed him but he had his enhancement suit on. He had thought that the robot self-destructed and took Rock with him because he saw no sign of the robot.

" No!" He screamed as he ran to the remains of his brother.

" Can you hear me?" Said protoman trying to see how bad his brother was hurt.

" Great! Doctor light is Roll O.k. yet?"

" Just about. Why?"

" Mega Man just got caught in what I think was the self-destruction of that robot"

" Great. Listen bring him in and Iıll get Auto to finish Roll. Oh, yea could you bring me a part of any of there robots?"

" O.k." Then Proto teleported to the lab after picking up his shield and grabbing a head of one of the robots.

" Well, is he o.k.?"

" I donıt know." Said Doc. Light while working on Rock. Auto do a scan on this robot head.

" O.k."

" Get all the help you can get and fix him. He will make it" Proto said. After working on him for a couple hours Light finally said.

" Listen I donıt know if he will survive. When the robot destructed it took a very important part from your brother."

" Well, what is it?" asked Roll who was now feeling fine.

" Well, let me put it this way. Do you remember when I was teaching you about the human body?"

" Yea." They said

" Well remember the heart that makes the whole body work?"

" Yes."

" Well thatıs what heıs missing. A part that will run his body. I can keep him alive connected to this machine but he wonıt be able to move or think. Now if I could get...." He had to speak no more because Proto Man already understood it.

" Where do I find it?"

" Hmmm, I only know of one place."

" Where?"

" Let me think-"

" Where?"

" In Dr-"

" Doc. I figured out that these robots run on a new power. The power canıt be found on earth. I like from some other planet." Interrupted Auto.

" Hmmm" thought Light.

" Proto, let me do some more research. In the mean time go to Dr. Cossackıs citadel and ask him if he knows where to get that " Heart" for Mega Man.". If he doesnıt have it then most lik-"

" O.k." said Proto grabbing Megaıs Sabre and silently teleporting away.

Chapter 2

In an instant Proto was at Cossacks citadel and walked in.

" Honey Iım home!" Yelled Proto.

" Oh, Hi, Protoman" Said Kalinka.

" Hi!"

" Is Dr. Cossack here?"

" Where else would he be. Iıll go get him. Make your self at home, sit down." Kalinka said.

" Sure thing." Kalinka exited the room to find her father. Minutes later she came back with her father.

" Hello, Doc. Light sent me here to get something for Mega."

" Oh, sure, I will do anything to help a friend. Whatcha need?"

" Well, He said we need a " Heart" for Rock,"

" Why?"

" Well he said that Mega could " Die" if we donıt get him one. Right now he is hooked up to a machine."

" Hmm, Iıll see what I have." Dr. Cossack left to go see what he had.

" So, Kalinka what have ya been doinı lately? Getting captured by more evil scientist?" Kalinka gave a little laugh.

" No, mostly goinı to school. Your lucky you just have to be programmed."

" Oh, so what do you do in school"

" Hard stuff, like Algebra, Physics, Programming, and Computer Science. You then have to keep that in your memory forever and unlike you, we might forget it when we need it. Stupid huh?"

" Ya, really stupid." Just then Dr. Cossack came in.

" Sorry Proto. I donıt have anything like what you need."

" Dang it!"

" But I would be glad to go over there and help Light."

" Perfect! Then Iıll go look, somewhere else."

" O.k. lets teleport out." Said Proto.

" Wait! Weıre humans!"

" Well, I got a teleporter in the basement. Come on Kalinka"

" See ya!" Seconds later they arrived at Lights lab.

" Hello, Light thought you might need some help." Said Dr. Cossack.

" Oh, yes, thank you."

" He didnıt have it so I am goinı to Wilyıs. Whatever you do donıt tell Rock heıll get all upset. See ya!" Just then Protoman teleported away. A couple minutes later Proto was waiting for Skullman to get Wily.

" Come on!" After several minutes Wily came to the large front door.

" Zhat do zou need!"

" Look I gave Bass an Energy Balancer and from you I need a " Heart" for a robot.

" Hm, why?"

" Um, I, ur, have heart cancer. Iıll die soon if I donıt get one and your best agent will die"

" True."

" Vust a second." A couple more minutes passed and he came back.

" Vere. By the vay."

" I veed you vor a second."

" Sure." Proto walked down a big flight of stares and was in the basement.

" May I see that Beam Sabre?" Asked Wily?

" Sure." Proto gave it to him and Wily looked at it untill they got down there then He put on his lab coat.

" Vust vo vight here." Wily pointed to a spot."

" Verfect!"

" Ha Ha Ha!" Just then a big cell appeared. Vis is vor betraying ve! Later I vall have Bass, with his new and strong enhancements kill zou! Oh vaobots don't get vart vancer!"

" Great!" Later that day when Wily was asleep Proto tried to get out but was zapped by the poles and fell down " Unconscious."
