Wily Castle Prime, Section 3...
The two brothers headed up to the next floor. Of course, Joshua had something waiting for them.
"Invisible floors over a bed of spikes. This is just stupid." Mega Man could only nod in agreement.
What followed was a very annoying tiptoe across the way, watching for any gaps as they went.
"Are we going to get done with this sometime within in the next century?"
Trying to look on the bright side, the Blue Bomber said, "At least he was considerate enough not to force us to fight any enemies here..."
"Yay..." The red robot was clearly unenthusiastic.
The pathway ended with another intercom. Mega Man clicked the button.
"You've managed to get quite far. I'm impressed."
"Impressed enough to give yourself up?" The blue hero ventured.
"No. But I am impressed enough to give you some company. You see, I have my own 'special robot'. Come and greet our guests, Rap!"
The hooded robot walked out the into the open. A grin was plastered on his face. "Sunglasses! Long time, no see! You even managed to bring in the hero..." He glanced at Mega Man for once. In response, the blue hero jumped back and aimed at him with his buster.
"Leave him to me," Proto Man said quickly. "He's mine."
"Why?"
"I have a few things I owe him. Just head up!"
Nodding in agreement, the Blue Bomber took off for the elevator.
Proto Man turned back to his enemy, who was waving his golden chain around, snickering.
"Ready to bite it, twerp?"
Wordlessly, the red hero took his trademark shield off of its clip on his back and held his palm out in a "bring it" gesture.
Rap then disappeared from existence, only to reappear with his elbow in his opponent's chest.
The hero gurgled in pain, only to find himself with a knee to the same general area. He then was blown away by a gold wave of energy conjured by the robot's hand.
"You're nothing, Pretty Boy. I'll show you why!"
He walked up to Proto Man to kick him in the head as his fellow Wily bot had done to his brother earlier, only to get his leg grabbed and himself sent to the floor.
Proto Man managed to roll away and leap to a standing position with one swift movement.
"You'll have to do better than that."
Seething, Rap sent his gold chain right for him. Proto Man slid under it and flung his shield which hit its target's face before returning to its owner like a boomerang.
"You know, you could just give up..."
The hero's suggestion went unheeded as the villain looked in horror at his newly marred paint job. "YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD!"
The evil robot jumped up before pounding the ground with his chain, creating golden shock waves along the ground. Some fancy footwork and sliding was all that was necessary to avoid them.
"Is that all you've got, you narcissistic baby? I've seen toasters with more fight than you." The taunting was used specifically to throw Rap further off his game.
And boy, did it work!
"I'm gonna cave that stupid little face of yours in!"
Rap dove for him, but he easily got out of the way. He needed to buy some time to charge up a shot...
"Still haven't touched me yet," Proto Man called out to his enemy, who quickly made another dive for him. It didn't succeed. "Was it your plan to actually hit me at some point?"
"Get ready," Rap said, growling as purple energy swirled around him. "Because I'm gonna be sending you straight to a closed-casket FUNERAL!"
He leapt up at Proto Man, roaring in pure rage, only to land on top of the scarfed hero's buster. His fully charged buster.
He found that he couldn't get loose, as the momentum of the fall jammed the buster in his stomach.
Rap fought to get free in vain. Proto Man smirked as he released the shot, sending a violent explosion ringing throughout the apartment.
