I get the main role because I'm the best! Bow to Lord Wily!
I know you're my creator and all, but your bark doesn't exactly match your bite....
So you’re Sargent Man. The boss has spoken greatly of you.
And you are…?
I go by many titles. Master of Tornadoes, King of Hurricanes, Lord of Storms… You, however, have the pleasure of calling me Air Man
I’ve been awaiting this confrontation for many moons now. Now, we shall see if the man…or as the case may have it, the robot…can live up to the legend.
If it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you’ll get.
Very well. We shall battle like true warriors. Ready your buster…
Draw!
I'll take Crystal Man. Ninja Man, take Wood Man. We could use your newly found cutter weapons as an advantage. Roll, Top Man, take whoever you want, I'll not mind.
Disco's all mine!
I'll deal with the pinhead!
Ah, the fortress! No way anything could possibly intrude here!
A-actually Boss....T-there were a-a few I-intruders...Hehe?
So? There aren't any now, meaning Punk and Retro took care of it.
B-but Boss! Lord P-punk got taken care of w-with the guy with the d-drills.
........*A vein appears on his head*
What's going on?! The whole ground is shaking!
Wah! T-this whole place I-is going to b-blow! Wah!
OUT OF ALL THE FAILURES I'VE HAD RECENTLY, THIS IS THE FIRE ON MY BIRTHDAY CANDLES!!
I'm up already...I just needed a break....
Good. Somenone get me up to date on the situation immediately.
Well, I got beat by a puny insect, but I don't know what Retro was doing.
A-allow me! Retro Pikachu was facing....Something wrong, Lord Enker?
This mecha sent me a tape.....What is Quint doing?
I'm not quite sure what're you referring to, Lord Enker.
Shut and be quiet, sprout. Apparently Quint is doing something....
....D...Dust Man...
Okie-dokie!
Grrr.....
Grab on tight, sprout! This place is going to blow!
Yessir! But wait, where will we-?
No time for questions, let's get out!
GRRRRRAAAAAAHHHH! YOU TRAITOR!
That power surge! Thankfully, I'm down here, so I won't get damaged too much.
Me and my big temper...Damn, this is something Punk would do, not me. I need to learn how to keep my composure. Anyway, I need to go find a green Mega-Idiot....
...And now I only remember that something was trying to control my systems, but I fought it. Why am I damaged so badly, though? You don't look so good either...
...And based on what I learned recently...
...What I learned from you when you were brainwashed was that Enker destroyed Mega Man, and we both damaged each other pretty badly. Somehow my strongest blast got you out of your brainwash, though. Maybe this so called "Master" wants me because I somehow have the ability to disrupt his brainwashing.
...We're both hurt pretty badly. If any more of those brainwashed robots show up, neither of us are in a condition to fight. I may aim to be the strongest robot myself, but I don't turn a blind eye to those in need. Are you ok if you get taken to Dr. Light to repair you?
...I don't suppose I have much of a choice.
(turns to the other robots) Any of you want to come along? It's pretty far to Light's lab, but I think I can manage.
I have to talk with my team first, as we probably should focus on Retro Pikachu.
...All right then. I wish you good luck with him. Wily recently had finished some upgrades on him, so I could imagine the difficulty you guys are having right now. I hope Proto Man can be fixed up soon so we can get to the bottom of all of this "Master" business.
We need to stop Retro Pikachu. But now since Proto Man and Tails is busy, there is only ONE person who can help. I guess if we need to defeat a HWN Robot... We need HELP from a HWN robot. We need Ninja Man. I detect him, with BtMan, Sargent Man, Top Man, Roll, Needle Man, Disco, Air Man, Crystal Man, Wood Man, and a strange, unknown robot there. But I sense dark energy around Needle Man, Disco, Air Man, Crystal Man, Wood Man, and the unknown robot. It looks like they need help. It seems that Jewel Man, Oil Man, and Time Man is disabled there. Did anyone have any more E-tanks with them? (Yamato Man pulls out some extra lives) Those will have to do. Come on! (The group teleports out)
Fight strong!
(The gang teleports in) We're here to help!
Yamato Man, use your extra lives to fix Oil Man, Jewel Man, and Time Man! Wind Man, you get Needle Man. Flame Man, take on Wood Man. Knight Man, take on Air Man. I will handle Crystal Man. BtMan, you think you can contact Guts Man?
Sure.
Tell him to come here and help you guys with the purple Top Man guy.
He says his name was Liquid Spinstrike.
Good to know. Everyone else, protect Yamato Man in case someone attacks him. Go!
Heh, time to get back into action...
Let's do this!
... ?!
you look worried, anything wro- what the!
RETRO UPPERCUT!
AGH!!!
No... It's you...
Yes, it's me, but I have no need to deal with you; I just want to fight the inferior!
AH!!!!!!!!
Ugh... That's wasn't fun at all...
So, at least you got here.
Forget it, why did you bring me here?!
I wanted to see if you; HWN-002, could match up to my power!
... Using your scanner? ...Fine then, let's do this!!!
Trust me, this battle is already over!
Retro Pikachu!? What does he want with Ninja Man!?
(was knocked back, but is still standing) Nice shot, but can you keep up? NINJA FORM! SWIFT! (Changes into swift form)
Catch me if you can! (Runs circles around Retro Pikachu while throwing Quick Boomerangs)
I wonder how that tastes. Ooh, and that. Oh, and that one. Ooh, I wonder how that one tastes.
Dust Man, please stop eating everything you see. That includes bones and rocks.
Sorry, Mr. Pharaoh.
(How did he get HIS name right?)
Anyways, that's what we've gathered about this brainwashing scheme. You don't remember anything?
Well, my memories are fuzzy at best, but Quint said he's drawing a blank.
We're wasting time here, fools! It is not my desire to work with such low-tier robots; however, I wish not to be brainwashed again and am forced to choose
The only evil here is you, peasant!
This is going to get out of hand if we don't make a truce right now. Pharaoh Man? Quint? Truce?
Don't expect us to get along, though.
The feeling is mutual, Pharaoh.
*mouth full* What about me?
......Okay, fine.
Yay! I accept the tooth!
What have I done...
You will respect my brother, you stupid Mega Man rip-off!
I am Mega Man, you imbecile!
HOLY SCREWS, GUYS! CALM DOWN!....Now, we need to decide on our next course of ac-
*teleports in*
I just can't catch a break...
State your business in following us, Plug Man! I will fire upon you if you prove hostile!
As will I.
As will ALL of us, fool!
Guys.....I don't feel too good....Urk.

NOBODY CARES!
The lab is pretty far from here...If I weren't damaged, we could just teleport there.
Most likely you couldn't either way, I remember you telling me the lab was pretty wrecked....
I'm not a big fan of my birthplace being wrecked...I hope there's still materials to repair ourselves with.
Haha! Weak as always, needing to be repaired. Anyway, Wily's drones has found Enker's location.
I know that voice....Bass.
You found me out, eh? Anyway, Enker's moving pretty fast, so you might not catch him!
Trust me, I know my way around here and all the shortcuts. I'd get there in no time.
(Why didn't you use your "shortcuts" to get Light's Lab faster.)
It doesn't matter at this time...I couldn't even lift a finger, let alone fight Enker. Mega Man did sacrifice himself to give me this chance...
What? Are...You serious?
Completely. Mega Man would be happy to know that you cared for him in the end.
Care for him?! The idiot got himself killed, and NOT by me! I'm so angered by this thought! Who did this?
Enker finished him off, while I-
Tried to save him!(I know you did do that, but you don't want to say anything about you defeating Mega Man to Bass, no matter how strong you are.)
(Got it..)
What are you mumbling about?! Ah, I don't care!
I don't care who you are, Mega Man was mine!
Just you wait, "Enker", I'll destroy you for my pride!....And Mega Man!
...Looks like no one has been here in a while. If Roll was here, at least the place would have been cleaned up a bit.
...I see. I guess when the Killers attacked, everyone was involved in some way.
Yeah. It appears that way.
...I guess for now we just find what we need to get ourselves repaired. At least I don't think we'll have company for a while.
...I'd rather we leave as soon as we can. My mood will get worse the longer we stay in here.
...Fair enough.
...Wasn't expecting help like that, especially giving the fact the lab apparently was neglected by other robots.
Auto always stays in his shop since usually Roll helps out with maintaining the lab. I think Auto might come to the lab later to fix it up a bit. ...Mind if I ask you a question? What do you know about Starforce?
...Even I don't know much about Starforce, but it does greatly increase your abilities if you collect a lot of them. The fact that Bass used some, though, reminds me that much more Starforce can still be found, even though I collected a lot of them myself. I guess you can say that's one reason I'm always traveling. So, what do you plan to do now that you're feeling better?
...I don't know yet. I'll probably leave to try to locate the Killers again. Everything that has happened recently has always involved them. I also want to make sure Bass isn't in over his head. Enker is much more powerful for some reason. I suspect it's related to Starforce.
...Then I guess we part ways for now. After losing twice to Enker myself, I need to obtain more Starforce, especially if I end up facing this "Master" Enker keeps talking about. I have a feeling, though, that you may need to use your ultimate attack again before this is all over. Besides, I'm kind of curious what the deal is with Retro Pikachu.
You have a lot of unanswered questions, just like I do. I will be on my way, then.
Why does everything always fall to me? I had my own reasons for splitting up, but I didn't think that other robot would fall so easily against Proto Man.
At least now you know why I want Proto Man. Once again everything falls to you, Enker. I hope you don't fail me again.
...
Woah! (Bright Man teleports in) Me and Bright Man came to help!
Woah, WHAT!? Are you INSANE, Plug Man! Those two-
Is with Dust Man. And we came to help him, and these two killers might be on OUR side now!
... *sighs* Ok. But we will leave the group immediately if it is a trap.
You can't- (Gets hit by attack) Gah! Ok, you are strong, I'll admit it. But you have no idea who you're messing with! I brought some assistant items with me from Dr. Wily's lab, JUST in case I run into someone as powerful as YOU.
Immpossible!
Immpossible, yes. Happening, yes.
You are powerful, Retro Pikachu. But this ends here! I shall send you back to Wily to wait until when needed by the doctor.
...Heh
???... Why are you chuckl- GAH!!
You know that I'm the first HWN, right? Well, being the first, I can control all Evil Energy! You have no chance against me, for I have the ability to control your very body! Ninja Man, attack those weaklings below!!!!
GAH!!!!!!!!!...... Yes... Master...
No! I will fight back...
NINJA BAROQUE!
You are a worthy foe... But you can't win. Now I end this. NINJA BUSTER!
Good thing I got out of that... I was lucky. Just in case, I need to power down. (Turns to swift form)
And why should we trust you? You're just as "suspicious" as we are. In fact, you're more so because you're the ones following us!
I concur, mostly because Brightman could easily overtake me if he turned traitor to the group!
I'm fine on my own, inferiors! I need no help!
Umm, we need no help?
I know what I said, and I'm going back to the base to investigate! *teleports out*
Quint, wait!...*exasperated groan* Bright Man, Plug Man, why in the world should we trust you?
....I think we can. They show no signs of brainwashing, although there may be some other hidden agenda that I am unaware of. I'm particularly
Well, I can't believe it's come to this, but.....what about you Dust Man?
*BUUUUUURP* What?
-______- I was asking if you think we can trust Bright Man and Plug Man.
Well, me and Bright Man go way back-
No you don't.
-so of course he can come!
*glares at the newcomers* You watch yourself.
Heat Man, do you have any 5s?
Really? (Hands Flash Man the card) How do you know our cards? ...Have you been freezing time to peek at our cards?
(Lying) Um... No...
Ugh! You don't do that! That's cheating, right Metal Man?
You know what else is right? (Puts down cards, face down) The fact that I'm tired of this. We need to find this master and take him down, because the others are just wasting time helping heroes, and, as far as we know, are not even getting CLOSE! We need to stop the master. Now.
Woah, woah, woah. WE!? We're too weak!
No, you only THINK we're weak. Heat Man, if you focus your flames, you would be able to burn entire cities! Flash Man, you have the ability to freeze time, allowing you to take down the opponent.
And cheat at Go Fish!
And me? I may be weak to my own type, but I am extremely deadly. And if what I said about ALL of us doesn't make us strong, I don't know what does. We're Wily Bots! And we should not just sit around because Flash Man shoots buster shots. Or that I'm weak to my own weapon. Or that you don't have courage. We shall take down this Master and his little guardians. And Mega Man to follow! Who's with me!
I am!
Me too, I guess.
... ugh... I can't keep up any longer... my body.. is.. being... d.le..d... .y bod. .s fa.l..g m. ... .s thi. t.e .nd?...
My body.. is.. being... deleted... my body is failing me... is this the end?
...Not even a core... Maybe Dr. Wily still has the blueprints... (Turns to cutter form and teleports out)
(Teleports in)
You won?
With the loss of my fellow HWN... AND information on this Master guy... Who IS he? And what does it even want with us? And Proto Man?
I can tell you about the Proto Man thing later, but I don't know who this Master is.
