Mega Man VS Robotboy is the ??? episode of DEATH BATTLE! by RoadRollerDio, featuring Mega Man from Mega Man and Robotboy from Robotboy.
Introduction[]
Wiz: Mega Man, Thomas Light’s “super fighting robot”.
Boomstick: Robotboy, Professor Moshimo’s magnum opus.
Wiz: Don’t let their childish appearance fool you; these two machines were custom-built to help save the world from a powerful evil.
Boomstick: And today, we’re going to see which kick-ass robot would win in a duel to the death! He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win… a DEATH BATTLE!
Mega Man[]
Wiz: The year was 20XX, and technology was advancing. The idea of robots equipped with the ability to think and act was becoming mainstream, all thanks to the effort of Doctor Thomas Light.
Boomstick: Ol’ “Brainiac Santa” here pioneered the concept of sentient A.I., allowing robots to not only become effective tools of manual labour, but also to be able to live lives of their own.
Wiz: However, one man once considered a friend of the good doctor grew jealous of his success. Having always been bested by Light at every corner, Doctor Albert W. Wily wanted his own piece of the pie.
Boomstick: And that piece’s flavour was world domination! A must-have ambition if you want to be recognised as a true mad scientist! Isn’t that right, Wiz?
Wiz: I-I don’t know what you’re talking about! Uh, anyway, Wily sought to sully the doctor’s reputation, kidnapping his six “Robot Masters” - machines designed for labour - and reprogramming them into minions to do his bidding.
Boomstick: However, fate was on Light’s side; Wily may have gotten his grubby Einstein fingers on the Robot Masters, but he failed to capture Tommy’s two helper robots: Rock and Roll!
Wiz: Rock in particular was instilled with a strong sense of justice, and believed it was up to him to head out into the world and save his brethren from their foul corruption.
Boomstick: And while he was reluctant at first, Light decided to give his “son” a custom-built armour, complete with arm cannon! Now, he was “Rock” no more.
Wiz: Now, he was Mega Man! Or Rockman, if you’re Japanese. See, “Mega” is in fact Rock’s Japanese name, and-
Boomstick: Wiz, Wiz. Mega Man’s been around for almost four decades now, I’m sure people are aware of the franchise’s regional differences. Now stop being such a know-it-all! You’re boring me to death!
Wiz: Ugh, fine! Now rechristened as Light’s so-called “super fighting robot”, Mega Man took the fight to Doctor Wily, defeating his Robot Masters and engaging the roboticist in one final showdown…
Wiz and Boomstick: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wiz: …or rather, it would have been, had Mega Man not let the doctor escape without punishment.
Boomstick: Thus, Wily walked away to live another day, starting a never-ending cycle between the two doctors; one looking to save the world and the other to rule it!
Wiz: To take on the mechanical might of Albert’s forces, Mega Man had to be equipped with some of the most high tech weaponry available. This, of course, includes his standard blaster: the Mega Buster!
Boomstick: The Mega Buster is a handy lil’ blaster, being able to shoot condensed pellets of solar energy or a devastating charge shot, depending on what the situation requires. And, get this! It also has a variant called the Mega Arm, allowing Rock to fire his fist like a rocket! I wonder if W-OW!
Wiz: Yes, I do have something similar equipped in my arm. Thanks for asking.
Boomstick: Ugh, where were we?
Wiz: The Mega Buster, Boomstick, and the fact that Mega Man has two of them; one for each arm.
Boomstick: But who needs two cannons when Rock has several upgrades to help improve his Ol’ Reliable!? He can increase shot speed, decrease charging time, auto-charge the Mega Buster and even reduce the amount of energy used by his Special Weapons!
Wiz: Which, speaking of, Mega Man has in abundance. From growing stronger with the Super Arm to being able to shoot fire, wind and ice-based attacks, there’s no shortage of what Rock can do upon gaining the powers of defeated Robot Masters.
Boomstick: He can immobilise enemies using Flash Man’s Time Stopper, summon a meteor storm with Astro Crush and even generate black hole singularities with the Black Hole Bomb!
Wiz: Or, should Rock find himself on the defensive end of a duel, he can instead generate a barrier made of one of many items; fire, water, leaves or skulls, among others.
Boomstick: Even better, though? Mega Man has copied the powers of various Street Fighter characters, being able to kick like Chun-Li, shoot optic lasers like Crimson Viper and even fire a Hadouken, just like Ryu!
Wiz: All of whom the Blue Bomber was able to beat in a one-on-one brawl! Heck, he even took on both M. Bison and Akuma, and came out on top!
Boomstick: You know, the same Akuma who could fragment an entire island!? For “Baby’s First Terminator”, this Rock kid kicks some serious a**!
Wiz: But what if I told you that that wasn’t Mega Man at his strongest?
Boomstick: Wait, it isn’t!?
Wiz: Not until he amps himself up with the Double Gear System, a device invented by Doctor Wily that allows its user to bolster their speed or power!
Boomstick: Mega Man can use either in a pinch, and can also combine their might through the Double Gear mode! Which, uh, kind of comes at the cost of exhausting Rock after he uses it, meaning it’s more of a last resort than anything.
Wiz: However, should that happen, Rock’s always got support on hand in the form of his pets: Eddie, Beat and Rush!
Boomstick: Rock? Roll? Beat? Hold on a second, these are all references to music! Wiz, when did JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure debut!?
Wiz: January, 1987. So, no. Mega Man didn’t beat Hirohiko Araki to the punch, I’m afraid.
Boomstick: Damn. Anyway, you mentioned Rock having three lil’ helpers?
Wiz: I did. Should Rock no longer be in tip-top condition, Eddie can drop in to provide the Blue Bomber with healing items, restoring him to peak condition in the process.
Boomstick: Then there’s Beat, who is to Mega Man what Tails is to Sonic. Not only can he attack enemies, he can also fly Rock around wherever he needs to go, making him a great help against aerial foes!
Wiz: But most impressive of all is Rush. With Rush Coil, Rock can use his robotic canine pal as a spring, allowing him to reach otherwise impossible heights.
Boomstick: Oh, puh-lease, Wiz! We all know we’re here to see all the vehicles Rush can turn into; be it a car, submarine, spaceship or hoverboard, this pooch comes equipped with all Mega Man needs to traverse land, sea and air!
Wiz: That’s all well and good, Boomstick, but allow me to do you one better. By fusing with Rush, Mega Man can equip his own sort of “Super” form: the Super Adaptor.
Boomstick: By combining the flight of the Jet Adaptor with the increase in strength from the Power Adaptor, Rock can fly and shoot rocket-powered punches that can penetrate barriers once thought to be unbreakable, such as Knight Man’s shield!
Wiz: All this and more makes Doctor Light’s champion truly worthy of the title “Super Fighting Robot”, and his feats of speed and strength are nothing to be scoffed at.
Boomstick: Oh, boy. Here comes the boring math part of the analysis…
Wiz: Mega Man once held his own against Duo, a machine who, in a duel with Evil Robot - yes, that’s actually his name - clashed with him hard enough to disperse Saturn’s clouds.
Boomstick: That’s a feat that comes out to 11.42 ronnatons of TNT! Enough to obliterate a large planet!
Wiz: And that’s only one example of a planet-busting feat; Rock also took on and defeated the Stardroid known as Sunstar who was powerful enough to shake the Wily Star, a starbase constructed by the mad doctor. Such a feat would require an output of over 35.699 zettatons of TNT to pull off. Certainly impressive for a mere machine.
Boomstick: But speed is a whole ‘nother tale altogether! Turns out that Robot Masters, including Rock and his pet companions, are all capable of teleportation, reaching speeds over six hundred and seventy million times the speed of light! Sonic the Hedgehog, eat your heart out!
Wiz: And Robot Masters such as Shadow Man and Shade Man - the former of no relation to the Roboticized Master of the same name from the Archie Comics - have been seen moving in tandem with Mega Man and Bass’ own method of teleportation.
Boomstick: Which means it scales to their movement speed, too! Damn, Wiz! I never knew a machine could be so… so…
Wiz: Insane? I get that, but don’t mistake unparalleled speed and power for perfection; Mega Man isn’t invincible. As mentioned, certain power-ups can overwhelm Rock’s systems, leaving him vulnerable if not eliminating him outright.
Boomstick: Also, while he may be a kick-ass machine, Rock isn’t a fan of the whole “evil fighting” schtick. In fact, he kind of hates it. Well, he certainly won’t like what we’re about to put him through! For a third time.
Wiz: Mega Man may be a pacifist wishing for a world of peace and prosperity, but don’t use that to underestimate him. His dedication to keeping the world safe is admirable, and there’s nothing this Blue Bomber won’t do to keep his family, his friends and his people safe from the clutches of evil.
Boomstick: Mad scientists beware! You don’t want to mess with the super fighting robot, Mega Man!
"No, you're wrong! I only fight when I am forced to protect the world from those who would pit machines against man. I believe humans and robots can live in peace!"
Robotboy[]
Wiz: Many years ago, up-and-coming roboticist Professor Akira Moshimo sought to make history by creating a robot that could mimic human life.
Boomstick: Sounds like a lofty ambition, eh? Well, Moshimo didn’t let that stop him. After pouring blood, sweat and tears into his craft, soon enough the professor would invent this goofy-lookin’ machine: Protoboy!
Wiz: However, for as much of an achievement Protoboy’s creation was, he was rather… imperfect. Not only was he both disobedient and violent, but powerful enough to attract the attention of would-be world conqueror, Doctor Otoshi Kamikazi and his assistant, Constantine…
Boomstick: Who’d go on to bot-nap Proto-Dude in an effort to brainwash him into becoming a machine of pure evil! Damn. Back to the drawing board, I guess?
Wiz: For as heartbreaking as it was for Moshimo to depart with his creation and lose the chance to sort out his behavioural issues, as the robot’s name implies, he was but a mere prototype; the real deal was yet to come.
Boomstick: And soon enough, Moshimo would complete that magnum opus; a machine designed not just to protect the world from Kamikazi’s neverending evil, but also to live the life of a true boy...
Wiz: …a true Robotboy.
Boomstick: Y’know, Wiz? I’m feeling a bit short-changed. How can such an awesome concept not have a kick-ass theme tune? Instead of just some exposition dump?
Wiz: Well, speaking of that “exposition dump”...
Boomstick: Oh, god. Lore…
Wiz: Moshimo’s genius soon became widespread, and many an aspiring scientist sought to follow in the professor’s footsteps. One such person was ten year old Tommy Turnbull, Moshimo’s self-proclaimed “biggest fan”.
Boomstick: And someone who was about to receive the... Best. Present. Ever!
Wiz: Fearful that Robotboy would face the same fate as his predecessor, Moshimo sent Robotboy to live under Tommy’s care, under the belief this would protect him from Kamizazi’s villainous pull.
Boomstick: But the doc just wouldn’t let up on his plans of world domination, Moshimo’s creation the last piece of the puzzle Kami-Crazy couldn’t get his hands on.
Wiz: As such, Robotboy now had to balance the life of an elementary student with that of a world-saving hero. And, as a man of science myself, I can vouch for Moshimo’s genius when I say he was more than equipped for the job.
Boomstick: I’ll say! Robo-Dude might seem a harmless kiddie robot on the outside, but underneath that adorable appearance lies a lethal weapon!
Wiz: He can fly, both shoot rocket-propelled punches and optic beams and is a rather adept hand-to-hand combatant.
Boomstick: I mean, look at 'im! Robotboy’s out there throwin’ punches and kick that would make even the best martial artists jealous! Guess we know where all that Asian influence went, huh?
Wiz: S-Sure, but remember, Robotboy is not just a machine made for close-quarters combat. For example, he can track heat signatures through his thermal vision, see down to the bacterial level with his microscopic sight and, perhaps most impressive of all, Robotboy has acute senses, allowing him to see and hear from a distance.
Boomstick: Such as that time Robotman - not the Doom Patrol one… or that one, either - dropped Gus and Lola from super high up in the air!
Wiz: As you can see, coupled with his speed, strength and rather exceptional combat IQ - which you can also see from his duel with Robotman - Robotboy is nothing short of a lethal weapon.
Boomstick: But if you thought that was all, you’re sorely mistaken! After a… lengthy transformation process…
Boomstick: …Robotboy can grow large and become a true super fighting robot! Unlike that kiddie-lookin’ chump he’s goin’ up against, heh heh…
Wiz: This is his “Super-Activated” form and, with it, Robotboy’s arsenal increases tenfold in both versatility and raw firepower.
Boomstick: Yep, not only can Robotboy now equip roller blades to increase his speed along the ground, but he can also bring out some very lethal weaponry that’d make even the most gun-toting badasses cower in fear!
Wiz: For example, shoulder mounted rocket launchers and homing missiles. Or, instead, how about his sub-zero “freeze guns”, allowing Robotboy to fire an arctic blast against his enemies?
Boomstick: He can even shield himself with a force-field, or blow you away with Superman-like super-breath! U-Uh… don’t ask me how…
Wiz: This is all very impressive, but when Robotboy wants to turn up the heat, he can instead equip flamethrowers, gatling guns or saw blades, not unlike a certain other machine we might know.
Boomstick: You know, Wiz, now I’m starting to realise Robotboy has a lot of similarities with his opponent.
Wiz: Hmm? How so?
Boomstick: I don’t know, the whole “defective older brother/prototype” thing, the “fighting an evil genius hellbent on taking over the world” schtick and the whole “robot child” idea all just scream “Mega Man” to me.
Wiz: I see. Perhaps there was some influence behind Robotboy’s creation after all, whether it be his real world conceptualisation or his so-called “birth” in-universe.
Boomstick: Maybe, although I don’t think Mega Man can keep on movin’ even when decapitated!
Wiz: U-Uh, right. While it might seem the obvious way of dealing with him on a permanent basis - something which even Kamikazi once believed - removing Robotboy’s head from his body does nothing to stop him.
Boomstick: He’s just as kick-ass without a head as he is with one, retaining Robotboy’s martial arts prowess and being able to “see” despite… well, the obvious.
Wiz: This might be down to Robotboy’s advanced radars, not too dissimilar to the type of radar you’d find on a naval vessel.
Boomstick: You can’t hide from Robotboy and, given how fast he is, I doubt you can run, either!
Wiz: Robotboy is fast enough to react to a satellite’s laser, circle Earth’s circumference ten times in twenty-three seconds and even, believe it or not, toss his enemies so hard, it takes but two seconds for them to reach the sun!
Boomstick: That’s over two hundred-fifty times the speed of light, Wiz! That’s insane!
Wiz: Maybe so, but remember, Robotboy’s not all speed. In base form, Robotboy was able to erect a massive hill with but a single punch. Taking all the numbers into account, that would mean Robotboy’s punch can match the output of over two hundred-sixty megatons of TNT, enough to destroy a mountain!
Boomstick: And Super-Activated Ro’ is even more powerful than that? Damn, I know what I want for Christmas! Wiz, make me my own Robotboy! Now!
Wiz: Yeah, fat chance I’m doing that. Besides, despite what his… impressiveness might imply, he’s anything but perfect.
Boomstick: ‘Sigh’... yeah. At the end of the day, Robotboy still has a lot of growing up to do. He’s a kid, after all, and needs time to adjust to the real world.
Wiz: As a result, he’s easily convinced, having turned his back on Tommy various times over the course of the show’s run. Heck, he’s even been reprogrammed by Kamikazi on a handful of occasions, meaning he’s also susceptible to hacking or any sort of phenomena that could either rewrite his systems or shut them down entirely.
Boomstick: Like an EMP?
Wiz: Exactly. Enough damage can also reduce him back to his deactivated form, a toy-like appearance that signals Robotboy has shut down.
Boomstick: Awwww, look at ‘im, Wiz! He’s adorable!
Wiz: Uh, far from it Boomstick. Remember, Robotboy might have been made to live the life of a real boy, but he’s also a very capable fighter not willing to shy away from a fight if it means saving the world.
Boomstick: And let that be a warning, don’t mess with his friends or threaten to enslave all of humanity! The last thing you want on your tail is a very powerful… Robotboy!
"Okey dokey, smokey!"
DEATH BATTLE![]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Guts Man.
Out of all the machines Doctor Wily had to bring back, why was it always Guts Man!? This was the question that circled through the circuitry that was Mega Man’s head as he threw himself to the side in an attempt to avoid the tree thrown at him by the rogue Robot Master.
The duel took place in a park, the spring sunshine bearing down upon the robots as they fought. Mega Man aimed his arm cannon, the Mega Buster, at Guts Man and fired a charged shot, striking the burly machine in the chest and sending him crashing into a family’s picnic basket.
The group in question sat frozen in shock, the fear within them so powerful they could not move a muscle. However, when Guts Man started to twitch, they got up on their feet and ran, joining the now large crowd of people who were also making a quick escape.
“Please, Guts Man! I don’t want to have to fight you!” shouted a nervous Blue Bomber, his arm trembling as he pointed his trusted blasted at the Robot Master stood before him. Guts Man… merely laughed.
“Ha ha ha ha! All this preaching about ‘not wanting to fight’ and ‘wanting peace for everyone’! Real men don’t think about all that! We just work to get the job done!” he told him, flexing his macho nature and making the youngster feel small. However, Rock had his own retort, and something that Guts Man would be taken aback by…
“If that’s what it takes to save the world from Wily’s evil… then bring it on, Guts Man!”
As the two continued their battle, three children strolled through the park, completely oblivious to the fleeing crowd all around them. One of them, a blond boy, carried in his hands a comic bearing the title “The Human Fist” while another, a rather round redhead, tried to pry it from his friend’s hands to no avail.
And then, linking her arm onto the former’s, was an African-American girl even shorter in stature than her counterparts.
“C’mon, Tommy, let me have a read of it!” Gus Turner wheezed, the walk through the park clearly having taken its toll on the out-of-shape boy, to which his friend, Tommy Turnbull, simply shook his head.
“No way, Gus” he told him sternly, “this is a limited edition copy of the very first Human Fist comic. I’ve spent years saving up for this book, and I’m not taking it out of its pocket for you to get your greasy fingers all over it!”
Gus backed off the ten-year-old, knowing full well that the contents within his backpack was more than capable of whooping his butt if Tommy so wanted him to. What was this “content”, you may ask…
“Robotboy don’t understand? Why do Tommy not want read comic?” the rather cutesy looking machine said in his broken English, to which Tommy shifted his eyes to the side in order to look the robot in the eyes.
“Sometimes Robotboy, there are these things called “collector’s items”; they're very rare, and it’s considered a privilege to own something so valuable.”
The trio - technically quartet - kept walking toward the site of the ongoing battle, something of which was only called attention to when the girl - Lola Mbola - shrieked in panic. “Tommy, look out!”
The children all dived to the left as omnidirectional bullets of energy shot out of an explosion that took place in the center of the park; Mega Man had destroyed Guts Man, “breathing” a sigh of both relief and regret at having to eliminate his former “brother”. And, as soon as the smoke cleared, the damage was made abundant.
Guts Man’s head, arms and legs had been detached from his body, his eyes flickering on and off as the final sparks of electricity soon left his metallic shell. Afterwards, his eyes closed, signalling the end of the robot’s rampage… for now, at least.
Mega Man walked over towards the remnants of the foreman machine, calling forth a red armoured canine companion to come and pick up the pieces. “Thanks, Rush,” he said, “think you can take Guts Man back to Doctor Light to have him repaired? He’ll be back to his old self in no time, I just know it!”
The dog barked as he approached the fallen Robot Master, ready to pick up the pieces and return to his creator. Unfortunately, before either could get the chance to make a quick getaway…
“Stop! Evil robot!”
Rock turned to face the source of the voice: it was another robot! “H-Howdy!” he cheerfully, waving a hand to the oncoming machine. “I-I’m Mega M-”
Before Doctor Light’s creation could properly greet the once-thought-to-be companion, he found himself on the receiving end of a lethal punch to the face, sending him tumbling along the ground.
Despite this setback, Mega Man recovered his footing and came to a halt just moments before making contact with a large tree trunk that towered over him. That was close…
“H-Hey, what are you doing!?” Rock shouted in protest, only for him to shut his mouth as soon as he saw the vicious scowl on Robotboy’s face.
“You destroy innocent robot,” the youngster said in his faulty English, “you scare people. Robotboy… must defeat!”
For as dumbfounded he may have been, something told Mega Man there was no talking his way out of this conundrum. He started to charge the solar energy within his Mega Buster, aiming the arm cannon at Robotboy as Rush quickly joined his side, growling at the would-be attacker.
“P-Please, I’m innocent! There’s this mad scientist, Doctor Wily, and he-”
“Stop! Robotboy no want hear Mega Man’s lies!” Moshimo’s creation was quick to interject. “Robotboy take Mega Man in!”
One dejected sigh - or whatever the robotic equivalent was - later, Mega Man whispered an order to his riled-up pooch. “Alright, boy, go and take Guts Man’s parts back to the doctor. I’ll call on you when I need you.”
With a bark, Rush, well… rushed off, making a break for what remained of DLN-005 and leaving his master to fend for himself.
“Alright,” Mega Man said, “I can see I have no other choice. If I can’t convince you with words, I’ll let my weaponry do the talking! I win, and you have to hear out my story! You win, and I’ll let you deliver whatever punishment onto me you deem fit. That good enough?”
Robotboy took a moment to ponder over the offer, before his eyes turned red and a battle-hungry smirk appeared on his face. “Okie-dokie, Smokey!”
“COOOOOOOOL, ROBOT FIGHT!” shouted Gus in the background, Tommy and Lola watching on in fear of what the seemingly dangerous robot might do to their friend. Still, Gus had plenty of reason to be excited, because this was going to be cool…
The fight started with Robotboy throwing the first punch, smashing his fist into Mega Man’s face. The robot was pushed back by the attack, but now had the time and space to change weapons before his opponent could follow up with another assault.
Changing his colour scheme to one of orange and yellow, Mega Man slammed his fists into the ground, unleashing Flame Blast onto the incoming Robotboy. Professor Moshimo’s creation brought his arms up to shield his face from the roasting blast, giving Mega Man ample time to run towards him and deliver an almighty…
“Shoryuken!”
…to his chin. This threw Robotboy high into the air, Rock following him with a superpowered jump. Switching back to his regular form, he proceeded to charge the Mega Buster, releasing a powerful orb of solar energy the recoil of which pushed him back a couple of feet.
Robotboy was powerless against the oncoming attack, being hit with it and thrown to the ground as a result. “Mega Man… powerful…” he said, slowly starting to recover. “But Robotboy… stronger!”
In that moment, Robotboy shot his optic beams towards Mega Man, the supposedly rogue machine diving to the side in order to avoid it. Then, he equipped his Elec Beam, firing it in return.
Mega Man then switched back to his regular form and ran sideways, hoping to bombard his opponent with a flurry of smaller solar pellets. If they could damage Robot Masters, surely they could deal with Robotboy, right?
Robotboy took on the Elec Beam but, rather than be electrocuted, he simply absorbed the attack’s power, becoming even more powerful. Such was the case when, with a simple stomp on the ground, the innocuous robot forced the energy to disperse. This was nothing like Rock had ever seen!
“No way…” he gasped, screeching to a sudden halt. He should’ve kept running, though, because as soon as he stopped, Robotboy rushed in, swinging punches and kicks like a Dragon Ball character. Mega Man did his best to bob and weave between them, but soon enough several caught him out, pushing him back.
Robotboy then pulled his arm back, throwing a fearsome fist at the robot’s face. This time, however, Rock was ready to roll!
Using his speed, he ducked forward, avoiding the strike and leaving his foe open to a counterattack.
Mega Man’s colours switched to pink and orange and, before Robotboy could turn around and react, he slashed his enemy in the back with the Flame Sword. Robotboy let out a yelp of pain as he fell forward, but he placed his palms on the floor and used his newfound balance to roll forward, turning around to face Rock just as soon as the superpowered robot had followed up his counterattack with a series of swings from his burning blade.
“Ready to give up just yet?” Mega Man taunted, continuing his onslaught as Robotboy did his best to dodge. “No!” Robotboy retorted, “Robotboy… never give up!”
Taking to the air, Robotboy forced Mega Man to revert back to his Mega Buster, Doctor Light’s “son” knowing he couldn’t reach that high using the Flame Sword. However, as he saw Robotboy’s right hand glowing, he got an idea.
His colour scheme changing to blue and white, Rock equipped Hard Knuckle and blasted a rocket-powered punch at Robotboy. But, much to his surprise, Robotboy did the same!
“Huh? You can use Hard Knuckle, too!?” he cried, his and Robotboy’s detached appendages returning to their rightful positions. “What… Hard Knuckle?” asked the robot, who let his curiosity get the better of him.
“I’d say it’s a useful distraction tool!”
Rock whistled and, from above the clouds, a bird-like robot swooped in to join the duel! This was Beat, Mega Man’s airborne companion, and he showed his usefulness by ramming the full extent of his body weight into Robotboy, sending the robot crashing into a tree.
“Great going, Beat!” Mega Man cheered. “Now, c’mon! Let’s take this duel to the skies!”
Beat wrapped his metallic talons around Rock’s shoulders and lifted the Blue Bomber up into the air, just in time to meet a resurgent Robotboy. The “kid machine” was livid, and this was evident by the fact he now had the whole trunk in his hands!
With a swift albeit strained swing, Robotboy almost took Mega Man down quicker than he had risen, but Beat, moving ever closer to his master’s opponent, carried him through the air, soaring over the attack in the process.
Robotboy dropped the tree and carried on his assault, flying with his fist outstretched in an effort to deliver to Rock a killer blow. But, with a bit of ingenuity, the super fighting robot swayed back and forth as though he was a child going higher on a swing, bounding over Robotboy upon being released by Beat and using his aerial momentum to spin around.
The unmistakable sound of the Mega Buster’s charge echoed throughout the atmosphere, a massive wave of energy engulfing Robotboy and dealing the most damage any of Rock’s attacks had done thus far.
However, it still wasn’t enough to put him down for the count, and he repeated the same tactic again, this time kicking Mega Man in the chest and catapulting him towards the ground before Beat could catch him.
Beat rushed past Robotboy, who swiped at him in an attempt to catch his wing only to miss entirely; the bird was just too fast! With each second, he got closer and closer, but time was quickly running out! Mega Man reached, and reached hard, but…
…Beat soon swooped around the back of him and once more picked him up by the shoulders, narrowly avoiding contact with the ground. Within mere moments, they were back to the same altitude as their opponent, whose eyes were now a bloodcurdling red.
Robotboy meant business.
He tried to rush Mega Man with a flurry of punches, chops and kicks, but Mega Man crossed his wrists over into an “X” formation and did his best to endure each hit. Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time until his resistance would falter…
…so that’s why, with a quick change to a colour scheme of cyan and white, Rock brought out the Skull Barrier, now completely nullifying the robot’s assault. One punch was all it took to dissipate the rotating shield, but one punch was all it needed to push Robotboy back.
“What this? Robotboy no break through?” he asked, curious. Mega Man cockily smirked.
“Oh, this? Why, it’s the Skull Barrier, and you’ve just had a taste of what my shields can do! Try this on for size!”
Soon enough, Rock’s cyan palette turned green and white. He activated Leaf Shield and shot the spinning projectiles at Robotboy, the metallic nature of their design being solid enough to cause Professor Moshimo’s creation trouble upon impact.
Each leaf fiercely scratched Robotboy’s metallic shell, his pain sensors activating in response. Now that his foe was distracted, Mega Man pointed forward, signalling for Beat to get up close and personal with Robotboy. Then, being dropped from above, Rock returned to Hard Knuckle and fired his fist down, smashing into Robotboy’s face as he looked up.
Yelling in agony, Robotboy soon crashed into the grassy plain below, Rock being let down gently by Beat who flew away. “Thanks, Beat!” shouted Mega Man as he waved. “I owe you one!”
Robotboy struggled up to his feet, clutching his arm almost as though he had landed on it when he fell. When he eventually came to, he noticed that not only was he in a different area of the park, but Tommy, Gus, Lola and even Mega Man were gone.
“Where… Mega Man go?”
Then, from out behind a trash can shot a massive ball of energy, Robotboy activating his wrist fields in order to block it. As he looked over in that direction, he noticed a blue light shoot up into the air. Uneducated on his opponent he may have been, but even Robotboy recognised this as teleportation.
“Ooooh… Robotboy want to teleport! Ask Moshimo for upgrade soon!”
As his foe wondered in awe as to all the cool things he could do with teleportation, Mega Man landed behind the trunk of a massive, towering tree. Peeking out from his cover, he launched another charged shot at Robotboy who turned and blocked the move with his shields again.
This time, however, there was a lot more power to it. So much so, in fact, that it pushed Robotboy back a tad upon impact. The red aura around both it and its user suggested only one thing…
Mega Man had activated the Power Gear, hoping to combine both the element of surprise with sheer power to incapacitate his adversary. Teleporting away once more, he tried to repeat the tactic…
…but Robotboy had tracked him. Using his x-ray vision, Professor Moshimo’s prodigy caught sight of the Blue Bomber and rushed forward before he could even think about releasing another reloading his Mega Buster…
