@Dark Man :
OW! Alright, I just about had it! *Uses the last of his Flash Stopper to use his Shadow Rapier to disable his buster arm, then slashes the other arm with a Metal Blade as soon as Flash Stopper ends*

@Dark Man :
*Dark Bombers explode* Ow! Ok, now that was cheating. But I'm not going down easily! *Uses Flash Stopper, attaching Crash Bombers on Dark Man, then unfreezes time*

@Dark Man :
*Launches Crash Bombers at the Dark Bombers, making them collide* I don't think so! *Uses Flash Stopper and surrounds Dark Man with Beta Blasts*

@Dark Man :
...I am not prepared. Someone. Help.

@Dark Man :
Wait a second. Access to all currently available Shadow-core weapons... a shadow-core blade... an explosive... hey, we're practically alike! Well, except for one thing... Something I soon found out Dr. Light forgot to remove... I experienced this during one of my adventures with MegaBoy... So, come at me! *Prepares an attack*

@Dark Man :
*uses Shadow Rapier to block off all the Shadow Blades* Hey, I can use those too, you know. And I'll have you know, my rival is a ninja, so I'm kinda used to this sort of thing. But what about you?

@Dark Man :
*Epic Sword-Clashing Scene of AWESOMENESS*

@Dark Man :
*Launches a Beta Blast, a shadow energy ball that explodes, at the Shadow Bomb, colliding with it and exploding.* Your not the only one with an exploding weapon, Dark Man! Thanks to my upgrades, I'm better than ever! *Pulls out Shadow Rapier* Now, come at me!

@Dark Man :
*Uses Skull Barrier to block off the katana* You know, it could help to not scream out your attack before using it. *Launches Skull Barrier at Dark Man, followed by a fully-charged buster shot.*

It seems I'm against Dark Man. Wow, the first match of the first round, and things are already getting interesting...
My opponent seems to be MegaBoy... Hmph. I'd go easy on him if it wasn't for the fact that I'd probably get scrapped if I did.

Meanwhile, halfway across the waiting room or whatever...

It seems I'm against Theatre Man... Heh, this might be too easy... but underestimating my opponents could lead to my end... I must take caution.

Meanwhile, on the same side but in a further-away area...

Proto Mech? Isn't he the Proto Man-looking guy that hangs around Meta? Heh, I'll show that "Bass 2.0" what'll happen if we ever cross paths...
Hmm. It seems my opponent is called "MusicalKitty." Who is this Musical, anyways?
Not sure, don't think I ever saw this Musical person in battle...
Heh, then this might just be the fun competition I'm looking for.

I only have 1 thing to ask MegaBoy:

Describe EEKADO in only 3 words.

@Dark Man : Future Quint.
...Future Quint...
So, Quint from the future...
Yet, Quint is Mega Man from the future...
FUTURE-CEPTION.
Anyways, here is an introduction to my characters:

---

Beta Man and Sargent Man is rushing off towards the tournament, though Sargent Man is currently unaware of where they are going.
Come on, Sargent Man! We're going to be late for the sign-ups for Dark Man's new tournament!
*Suddenly stops* Woah, hold on there, Beta. *Beta Man stops* Are you sure you can do this? I mean, remember the LAST time you entered one of his tournaments?

*Flashback*
Oh! It seems I have company *looks at the heroes* I'm afraid I have no guest rooms. I hope you don't mind sleeping in the scrapheap! *fires a Slur Beam at Bt Man*
*Dodges* Just dropping by... oh, let me... you know what, I don't have a comeback to that. *Shoots Slur in the face with his buster*
*sarcastically* Ouch. *grabs Bt Man and throws him into Ninja Man*
...Well, I done all I could do. Since I don't feel like dying, I am just gonna leave. *Teleports out, only for Ballade to teleport in front of him, sending him back to the Space Ship*
*turns on a big red countdown timer that shows how much time is left until the worlds are destroyed* Now I just sit back and relax...
*Timer suddenly goes forwards for a while, then stops.* ...Mega Man and Bass did it!
WHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE! *looks at Bt Man* YOU'LL PERISH FOR YOUR MISTAKE! *grabs Bt and shoots a slur beam in his core*
*Blocks the Slur Beam with a Skull Barrier, then teleports everyone out, except for Slur and Fang 2, blocking them in with a static field generator.*
*End of Flashback*

And let's not forget about what you said after all that.

*Another flashback*
Hey, Ninja Man.
What?
Remind me to never join another one of Dark Man's tournaments ever again.
*End of Flashback*

This time is different. This time, I have upgrades. This time, I have new weapons. This time, I. AM. BETA MAN! *Rushes towards the tournament. Sargent Man sighs and follows along.*

---

Meanwhile, a newly-upgraded Ninja Man rushes towards battle.

I'm coming for you, Beta Man!

Ninja Man dashes by 2 robots, not noticing them. One of them looks like a Laser-core Proto Man. The other is Fin Head Bass.

Why do I have to go with him?
*Through a communicator* Because I want you to monitor him. Let him show off his power and come back.
Fine, but you owe me! *Communicator is turned off*
Hey. Wily wants you to monitor me, you want to show the world your the most powerful robot, and me? I want to compete in something. Let me tell you something: See that sign? *Points to a sign for the tournament* If we join that tournament, you can monitor me AND we'll be able to compete. You can prove yourself, and I can have some fun! How about it?
Interesting. Let's do it!

Ah, the 1/2 series I made here. The one that started it all. From Powered Up 1 1/2 to 9 1/2, this was fun to make. But now, we have reached the end of it... At least until Mega Man 11, if it ever happens. So, without further ado...

Name: Mega Man 10 1/2

Players: Mega Man Proto Man Bass Orchestra (DLC) (Weapons/Abilities: Spread-shot Buster, Dash, Duck (Blocks with shield) Beta Man (DLC)
Description: An outbreak of a virus called Roboenza infects 8 robots, including some of Dr. Light's latest creations. Roll becomes infected with the virus as well, and the cure is nowhere to be found. The first 8 robots that were infected went berserk and attacked the city. Dr. Wily called Light Labs, telling them that the robots attacked his ship. Mega Man then saves Wily, who then explains that the parts of a cure-creating machine was stolen by the enraged robot masters. Mega Man agrees to retrieve the stolen parts, but before he started, Proto Man and Bass arrives to assist Mega Man. Proto Man agrees to help Mega Man because he thinks one is not enough for the job, and Bass decided to assist because he wants to see what the Roboenza-infected robots are made of. However, little did they know, two robots from other worlds are also attempting to stop these robots...

For instance, the first one has Rolling Cutter (Cut Man) and Flame Sword (Sword Man), while the second-to-last one has Star Clash (Star Man) and Galaxy/Black Hole Bomb (Galaxy Man). The last one only has Spark Chaser because Terra is the only non-MMRPG Laser-core robot, despite being the Stardroid leader rather than a robot master.)

*My name for Bight Man's "Flash Stopper".

@Psukeo : Could you round the 25s to 30s, or maybe change it to plain 20s? I'd still like to use the Pokemon Card health rule or whatever it is.

@Psukeo : Well, there aren't hands in thi-

HA! Now you will see what it's like!
Not what I mean, Crash Man.
Aww...

But the use of cards in a player's deck COULD replace that, however it would make it too OP against other players who already have passed the limit of cards in their decks. As for Avalanche Blast, maybe tone down the damage of the amount of damage on it, please? Thank you.

@MusicalKitty : ...So, in this, I had a runaway dog, and I live in Portland. Ok... At least I'll actually have a REAL appearance soon.

@ThatOneEnderMan : Granted, but it doesn't work.

I wish for a piece of paper. And ACTUAL paper, not sandpaper or any of that.
