Grenade man CANNOT be encountered currently. He must be unlocked from the challenge mission, Horshoes and Handgrenades.
If you need a strategy, I can provide one later

...

L, in a dazzling burst of light, leaving the only sensory stimulation as whirs of gears, transforms and calms down

What...

Is this...me?


R Shadow doesn't manage to dodge much, but does slice some of the icicles instead.

Doc Robot gets some ice stuck in his buster for a moment... but shoots it out with an Air Shooter, proceeding to fire one at Cryowork while continuing to get pelted with ice.

Panny obliges, proceeding to leave, before stopping for a moment.

Uh, you're gonna work on that while I'm gone just to be sure right?

Panny scrounges in his belt pocket

Panny: Well the universe I came from was in the 70s...

Panny: As for Tiny, let's just say, he's my lieutenant.

He scrounges more

Panny: Uh, do you take yen?

---

Doc Robot: Alright, now if you think we're gonna go easy...

Rockman Shadow transforms and goes white!

Doc Robot: OK I WAS GONNA SAY WE'LL SEE IF WE NEED TO SEE FOR OURSELVES BUT WE CAN JUST GO ALL IN HUH?

Doc Robot prepares a doc essence...wait...

DOC ROBOT NO

Maestro: It's fine....I thin...if you can't take it get someone...else....

---

Pharaoh God: You can't ignore your past.

Toad Satan: You can't deny your fate.

Pharaoh God: You ARE your own robot L.

Toad Satan: Wily built your AI, then split it between us, the progenitors of a fusion.

Pharaoh God: You have to wake up L...truly gain your own identity, but learn to harvest our power once and for all...

Toad Satan: For everyone of us L

WAKE UP!

WAKE UP

WAKE UP


Maestro's body starts to convulse...

Maestro: Ack!..Urg....

....
....
L: I...I....

I AM THE LETTER L!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
CODENAME: ZODIAC

Maestro quickly gets on to shut the worker up faster, Tiny pushes Maestro to his room, and takes a seat with Dark Elite, leaving Nathan to deal with Maestro.

...So...what exactly happened in your universe anyways? The Mega Man universe right?

Hmph, how did you know?

I used to study universes with the Commander!

Well...there's, a lot of twists and turns...CRORQ, Rockman Shadow, even the Zodidroids showed up....not too different from the 8BDM sub universe, if you want to call it that.





Panny nods his head.

It looks like it will overheat using new weapons with that type of wiring though...

But it looks like it will get used to new projectiles over time, and during the meantime, I can use hand to hand combat! I've been meaning to train with Tiny, know him?

The Commander looks at the blueprints, agreeing with most everything.

Panny: Looks good, but there's one thing.

He grabs a piece of paper and makes some scribbles.

Panny: What if in the bazooka...if a projectile goes in...it can be scanned and copied?


Tiny, pulling Maestro along, ends up at the Maintenance center.

Maestro: Just, get me a bed.

He looks at his wounds from battle.

Maestro: Maybe I should get those fixed

Maestro: I'm physically fine...kind of...

Tiny: Don't worry, I'll get him there!

Dark Elite: I'll go too.

Doc: Me and R Shadow will stay here.

Maestro, Tiny, and Dark all leave.

Doc Robot turns to Cryowork.

Doc: Say, wanna join us in training? Me and R are going for a trip down memory lane.

The Commander hands over the bazooka.

Panny: Well first lets get the core extension...

Panny: Yeah, that would help a lot! Except I don't have anywhere to actually put a core... mind if we discuss modifications?


L says he's ok, but it's really hard for him to get up...
When he finally does, he goes over to Cryowork, but he doesn't speak in L's voice, but in Maestro's.

Maestro: Can you take us...me, to the medical bay or whatever?

Dark Elite wakes up R Shadow while Doc and Tiny are busy with Maestro.

Alright then, you're paying for damages.

The Commander takes off his belt, visibly saddened that he's using one of his last explosive bamboo shoots for this, grabs one and inserts it into his weapons.

Holding it at his side, he points it towards the Dummies, pushes in the back of the bazooka, sending the shoot flying, exploding upon contact!

---

Ugh...it's been awhile since I've done this, and I've never used it in combat but....

Buster focus mode: Focuses energy only in the most important points, like L's buster.

Noise crush!

L attempts to use noise crush but collapses!

Tiny trades blows with Doc Elite, until somehow managing to claim victory...
Doc Robot and Dark Elite defuse.

Uh, L, you good?

I'm fine...I think it was because I gave someone a super core awhile back...those things that can give all moves of a type?

Tiny charges and headbutts into Doc Elite, with R Shadow following with a slash, and while it injures Doc, he manages to pull off a kick and incapacitate RS by sending him into the wall.




It's a bazooka. Granted, not very high tech. It can't generate ammo like a buster can, I'm looking for a change to that. And make it non flammable.

The Commander throws his bazooka on the table.

The Commander goes and looks for Zuundo, bazooka in hand.

---

Tiny gets pelted a bit, but manages to jump up before taking too much.
Rockman Shadow takes the blasts, and smashes into Doc Elite with a Barrier Wind. L goes to attack with Flame Sword, but Doc Elite uses Water Bursy to send L flying into the wall.

---

Trio: Listen I'm not the best at circuitry but... I THINK this will do.

Hyper Storm pokes at the mess, an incredible mass of wires going in at least 20 different ways, all connected to the Archive Box, which was held up in the air, and would of fell if it's spike wasn't dug into the wall.

Mega Water: Well, this was a disaster. What say you we move onto Ra Moon?

Alright we need a bit of a boost...

Doc Elite starts a Doc Essence!

I'm going to be honest, I don't know how it's lasted this long either, though I rarely fire anything incendiary out of it, although I could fire just about anything.

---

Rockman Shadow immediately goes in with his saber, slicing at Doc Elite's leg.
Doc Elite doesn't manage to dodge, but counters with a Drill Blitz, knocking RS a fair distance away.
L jumps behind Doc Elite, who retaliates with a Thunder Beam, but L dodges and charges into Doc Elite with an Atomic Crasher, towards Tiny, who manages to kick Doc Elite down to the ground.

Doc Elite backflips back up a fair distance away, before firing a Flash Gatling around the room!

The Commander is impressed by the selection of gear, and pulls out his bazooka from god knows where.

Panny: You got any enhancements for this?

It still looks good as new, impressive considering its made of bamboo.

Tiny: Hey uh, I know I'm prettt strong but... I'm assuming you can stop being all glowy, right?

Rockman Shadow silently goes back to his normal form

L: Well, I think a full on Free For all will get us nowhere, how about we take teams?

Doc: I'm with Dark

Tiny: I'll go with L!

RS:... I'm not going with Doc Robot. I'm with L.

Tiny: Wait, won't this be unfair towards them?

Dark: Not quite...

Doc Robot uses Flash Stopper!

By the time everyone gets their vision back...

It's been awhile since we've done this, so I'd say this is fair.

L walks into the training room first.

He surveys the room, it's strangly large with very little furniture, the only example of such being a control panel to the side of the door, and a stool not too far away. The walls were black, with all but the floor having a green wireframe pattern, said green radiating a blue tint.

Tiny pulls the stool up to the control panel and stands on top of it.

Tiny: With this, you can relive a lot of previous battles we deemed interesting, or that any Robots may have data on. Wanna give it a go?

Doc: Nah,I'm not sure anyone we've fought before is up to Trio's level.

Tiny: You COULD go back to the original fight with Trio and try and do things differently...

Doc Robot considers it for a moment.

Dark Elite: I think we should keep that to the end. For now, we'll fight each other.

Tiny understands, and gives medical scans to the gang, fixing up a couple wounds with the small knowledge he has on the workings of robots, then proceeding to close the door.

Dark Elite: Hey, Doc, you might not wanna use Doc Essence and risk draining the entire facility.

L agrees to let Cryo show them the way


The Commander rolls off of Amadeus's lap, jumping up and running after Chord and presumably Shu.
