RCX raises an eye at Quick Man before responding.
Wily of course.
(Who else would it be? Light?)
(Wait. What if Light's reprogrammed him again!)
Say uh Quick Man buddy. You know the coordinates to our base? We could try teleporting out of here.

???

But it seems that something else came with Panny.
...
You have got to be kidding me.
The machine begins to curse up a fierce storm, complete with lightning.

I think it's related to how Oil Man only takes one damage in Powered Up from Thunder Beam compared to every other weapon(save for his weapon of course).

Quick Man?
CX shakes his head before brushing off the debris.
The only weapon I have is my basic buster. I guess the good old doctor didn't install any of the others...
Do you have any idea where we're at?

---

Sideways Skyscraper, 1st floor...er, 1st block.
The supports were at least 70% efficient. Something must of caused it to break. An explosion perhaps?
S.Jack then curses to himself when he realizes that the mirror is likely broken.
...I won't know till I try.
Using his rifle like a pogo stick, he hoists himself up to examine his surroundings.

The skyscraper starts to fall from its supports being weakened by Quick Man NC.
No no no no no-

---

Sidesway Skyscraper

---

Uh my aching head. What...what happened?

Ruined City, Skyscraper, 32nd floor.

---

...Ow.
Rockman CX looks out to the ruined city.
Well...this blows.
Rockman CX tries to teleport...to no avail.
And of course. Let me guess...no weapons too, huh.
Sure enough, RCX is simply left with his buster.
So be it. Look out Light, I'm coming for ya! For everlasting justice!

Ruined City, Skyscraper, Ground Floor

---

S.Jack grabs the lock off of the gate and crushes it in his hands. The gate swings open to reveal a relativity clean ground floor.
So far, so good.

---

Ruined City, Skyscraper, Floor 12.

---

To the sound of grinding gears, various capsules open to reveal security machines.
Each machine scans one another for clearance.
Authorized.

---

Yes, I'm aware that the Light of CZ is dead.

Brass Monkey MKII thinks it over before...
Alright, Double and I'm in. Combined price was originally 15,000 zenny by the way.

Diamond walks over to the new object and grabs it. Meanwhile Spade moves up a floor.

@Beta Shadow : Thanks for reminding me.

---

As Skeleton Jack looks around through the scope of his rifle, he spots a sparkling object nestled in a skyscraper.
That mirror looks like the one from before. If I can find some way of getting up there, I might be able to get back on that ship.

S.Jack walks to the ruins, watching his back all the while and thus failing to notice a figure fall out of the mirror.

Kilroy drops his coffee which he was levitating with a weak psychic force.
Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

...Am I being paid higher than before? I run a business after all.

Laughs in stuck in Orb City due to talking with Prototype.(I'm asuming that he was in Orb City during their conversation.

---

Mind telling me what I'm doing here? I've got an even growing list of targets that need a "checkup".

I'll take Pyro.

Brass Monkey MKII selected.

Spade walks three to the right and admires the pretty scenery.
Meanwhile Diamond engages the Met by walking one over, up two, and fires a buster shot. (The range is four for all shots, correct?)

Somewhere on a fallen Earth, a capsule opens, revealing a jumble of cords. A television screen comes on.
Hello, ***. This is your creator, Dr. Wily. If you are activated, then that means that my life has expired. How long ago remains a mystery but one thing's for certain; you have a mission: destroy Dr. Light and his creations. Do whatever it takes. You've done it once before, you can do it again. And this time make it permanent.

As the screen comes up, an IC chip is placed in the middle of the cords by a small claw. Nothing happens at first to suddenly the cords come to life, bonding to one another and shooting out electricity. An arm, a buster, and a face starts to form from the wires before eventually...

Rockman CX Engaged.
Suddenly a mirror appears to show a glitched world before sucking him CX into it.

Hi! This is Primetime Genemi, correct? This is the UKR calling. If you willing, we have a business proposal that might make you millions! Or at the very least billions. We need a PR man and personally believe that due to your experience that you could be of great value. In any rate, we are aware of your...recent misfounture and believe...well I personally believe that this could be a major opportunity for you. If your willing, we could send further details.

Papa Betas

Perhaps even drunker than before, Air starts to sing the Pizza Time song with Reggae. As it has no lyrics, it goes about as well as you think.

---

The Halberd

---

Meta Knight...us soldiers have been thinking and we realized that chances are that the UKR won't exactly be waiting with welcome arms. As such, I would like to make a proposal: Since you along with others have helped us, we would like to work as members of your crew. The way we see it, it would still help our goal of making the universe a better place. If not, we completely understand.

UKR Bunker

With the shuffle of papers, an unmasked Balto rushes to the Command Quarters, dodging every soldier that's unfortunate enough to be in the way. As soon as he arrives, a face pops out of the window.

Are you sure this was a good idea? We could of used them for at least another week.
I assure you, if the entire universe were to know about this, the very Earth itself would be at risk. We did the right thing.
And how are those scientists doing?
They've got three days left. I'm sure they've figured out something.
In any case, we have another problem.

What's that?
...Well...it's nothing much really...it's...
I haven't got all day. Spit it out!
...People see you as a bad guy.
WHAT!
We go to their homes and-
Do they like being enslaved?! Are they incompetent?! America is the perfect example of the perfect government! How on Earth can anyone not see that-
It's not like that. It's-
It's that their ungrateful little snipes. I gave up my life along with over 80 million for a future we would never see! I gave up paradise so that I could supervise the betterment of humanity as well as other species! And I'm the enemy!
Just settle down. It's...clearly because those nazis and communists have warped the minds of the common folk.
Oh. That actually makes sense. But what can be done to fix this?
It's simple: You want the people to love you, then you need to portray yourself as the hero.

Would this work?



...That could work...Alternatively, we could hire someone skilled with marketing.
Okay, who?
I've got a list of people who could potentially do the job. I'm sure I'll find someone in at least...


5 Hours later.


So how's it going so far?
Absolutely terrible. I'm going to be honest; I probably should of worked on this list more.
Well who did you call?
Who didn't I call? I called U.Air, the head of WWE, the head of UWE, Sears, Blockbuster. Somehow, I even called that one run down fast food place called Rax. Let's just say that wasn't a very...pleasant phone call.
Balto shudders to himself.
Well don't give up now; how many are still on that list of yours?
One.
Only one left?
...
Well don't give up now. Better waste this one person's time than to waste your time debating with yourself about it.

Primetime Genemi gets a phone call.

Your vitals are low. Just play it safe. We can't afford to lose you.
...Fine.
Spade moves three to the right and grumbles.

(Around self only includes N, S, W, and E, correct? If not, then I'll just right two, down one, and Shadow Shot the Bulb Blaster).

Diamond moves up one, right two and pulls out an phone to start texting.
...Someone's not taking this seriously...

---

Changing parameters. Resigning Light to Heart.
Changing parameters. Resigning Cossack to Diamond.

Diamond moves one down and examines the mysterious object.
Spade goes up one to conserve Weapon Energy and retrieves the mysterious object.
