Iron Megaman

[killerninja258]

Meh, the actual story is pretty good, but there are some gripes I have about the...behavior of the characters. I mean, Tony and War Machine seem so...accepting to the fact that Megaman's from another dimension. They don't even question it at all. I'm sure anyone, even someone in the Marvel Universe and as educated as stark is, would seriously think Megaman has mental issues at first. I'm not saying the story is bad, I read this every couple of days, seeing that Iron Man was my favorite movie and comic and MML2 is my favorite game of all time, but there isn't a shortage of plot holes in the story. Well, maybe not plot holes per se, but character flaws. That's the only problem I have with this story, as well as some of the dialogue, I mean, some of the sentences just make me cringe. Other than that, you have my following, and I'll be honest, you're getting better as the story progresses. Keep it up! I'll be reading!

Chapter 14- Alone

Tony was in his lab alone looking over the mark two Iron Man armor preparing it for the next time something happened. Megaman had been there for a while helping Tony install upgrades to the armor but eventually went to his room to crash for the night.

Tony was so into his work that he didn't notice it when Jarvis had told Tony that Rhodes was there waiting to enter the lab. "Jarvis unlock the door for Rhodes."

"Tony what's been happening?"

"Nothing much Rhodes. You been up to anything?"

"Not really. Just trying to recover from the rampant Iron Man attack. By the way have you found out a way to send the kid home?"

Tony stopped working and slid out from underneath the armor. Tony looked up a Rhodes with and uttered a single no. "I don't know what it is Rhodes." Tony got up and wiped off all grease from his hands and pulled out a chair for his friend to sit in. "I've tried everything with the devices. There's no way to send him home."

"Are you sure he's from another dimension Tony? Just think about it. Maybe he's been working for Obadiah this whole time. Maybe he's the one who sabotaged the Iron Man armor. Maybe he really has a home but just doesn't want to confess."

"Now that you say it that way. You may be right Rhodes. There really hasn't been a way to send him home. Those reaverbot things too. Maybe Obadiah just created these things and threw a cloaking device on them."

"We'll reveal him in the morning." Rhodes got up from his chair and left Tony alone in the lab. Tony sat there just wondering if maybe Rhodes was truly right. He was the only one to distrust Megaman at first. Megaman could be from this universe after all and he was using a fake name just to make it seem like he came from somewhere else.

Tony put all those thoughts aside and went back to completing Iron Man. He still had a lot of work ahead of him and it was going on midnight. Instead of picking up his tools again Tony left the lab and slowly climbed the stairs thinking that maybe this whole time, he let someone who could destroy him move into his house. He wasn't going to let him stay much longer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman rose the next morning with a cloudless sky. This was going to be a great day, or so he thought. Megaman put on some decent clothes and made his way through the mansion to the kitchen where breakfast awaited him.

Megaman saw Tony and Rhodes just standing around as if they were waiting for him. "Good-morning guys. You both sleep well?"

Both men just looked at Megaman with disappointment on their faces. "Any comments this morning?" Megaman asked taking up a chair.

"Get out of my house "Megaman". Tony said.

"What are you talking about Tony?"

"Why don't you tell us. You've obviously got mental issues and are working for Obadiah. You're the only one that could have sabotaged the Iron Man armor the other night. It's a surprise that you didn't do the same to War Machine." Rhodes said backing-up Tony.

"I thought you guys liked me for who I am." Megaman said starting to get a little on the short side.

"Get out of here. You're not really from another dimension. You just wanted to get Obadiah closer to destroying me."

Megaman left for a minute with the Iron Megaman armor equipped and his normal armor in his hands. "I thought you were a great man Stark. You took me in, gave me a place to stay, and even gave me a credit card with over millions of dollars ready to use instantly. You cared when I was almost killed by the shrapnel. Now you suddenly turn your thoughts. Maybe you're not who I thought you were." Megaman turned to leave for the front door then turned around. "Tell Pepper that I hope she still thinks I'm for another dimension. So long."

Rhodes saw Megaman take off and turned back toward Tony. "We did it Stark! We got rid of the fake!" Rhodes slapped Tony on the back and opened up the fridge. "What do you want Tony? Wine, beer, maybe a cold..."

"Nothing right now. We'll wait until Pepper gets here and tell her about what we did."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You did what!?" Pepper said steaming.

"We thought you'd be happy." Tony said.

"Happy!? You let that kid walk out into the open world alone!?"

"He's got over five-million on a credit card. I don't care what happens to him. He's really from this dimension."

"What did he tell you?"

"No but Rhodes knew that he wasn't from..."

"Rhodes huh?" Pepper said grabbing Tony by the shirt then slapping him in the face so hard it left the reddest mark Tony ever saw. Pepper turned around for the door.

"Where are you going Pepper?"

"I'm going to find Megaman. I know it sounded crazy that he was from another dimension but deep down something is telling me that they're looking for him. I don't know who it is but some one in his world is looking for him." Pepper walked outside and shut the door hard behind her.

Tony pulled out a chair and sat in it wondering if he had really done the right thing. Tony put his head in his hands and just sat there, wondering.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn't hard to find Obadiah's small shack that he called a home. It had his name written right on the front. Megaman had bought a back-pack so that he didn't have to carry his armor much longer.

Megaman knocked on the door and soon saw the middle-aged man at the door. "What are you doing here Megaman?" Obadiah said almost ready to run back inside and jump in the Iron Monger. "Did Tony send you to kill me?"

"No. Far from it Obadiah. He and Rhodes are starting to have doubts on whether I'm from another dimension at all. They think that I work for you and just had mental illnesses. Tony told me to get out and I decided that I would come help you defeat Stark and Rhodes."

Obadiah put a smile on his face and showed Megaman the way in. It wasn't a big place but it at least had all the essentials. In one room there was; two big couches, a television, a stove, and a refrigerator. The second room contained the Iron Monger and other computer type objects. The last room was the bathroom and shower.

"Make yourself at home Megaman. I know it's not big but it's good enough for the two of us. Do you have anything else with you?"

"Just both armors, this back-pack, and a credit card Stark had given me with over five-million on it. If you want me to, I'll run into the city and get some supplies. You know maybe an air-conditioner, some bed sheets, I need some clothes and such."

"Sure thing Megaman. Leave whatever armor here and I'll drive you to the city and we can have all that we need by the end of the day."

"Thank you Obadiah."

"No, no, thank you." Obadiah was glad inside for the thought of taking down Stark and Rhodes at the same time. He had one of the strongest fighters he had ever seen. Even now the sixteen year old wanted to take Tony out of the equation.

Chapter 15- The Downfall of a Hero

Megaman looked at his Iron Man armor. It looked better than it ever had before. While in the city he decided to pick up some spray-paint. He had recolored the armor into black with yellow here and there making it look darker than it had before.

Obadiah was glad with Megaman at his side now. With Megaman, Obadiah was able to pick up all the items he couldn't get before making his little shack a perfect little home.

Megaman walked back into the living room where Obadiah was sitting on the couch watching the television. "Obadiah, it's time we start thinking of ways to get rid of Stark and Rhodes."

"Well, what do you have in mind?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony looked depressed when he woke up that day. He felt guilty about sending Megaman out alone. Rhodes was glad and Pepper was against the idea. Jarvis didn't really give an answer and Tony just assumed that he was in the middle. He had taken Megaman in as a friend and promised him that he'd get the kid home.

Tony walked slowly into his kitchen seeing a full buffet laid out for him. "Thanks Jarvis." Tony said without an real emotion.

"You seem down sir. Still worried about Megaman?"

"I sure am Jarvis. I just wish that he rally did come from another dimension. If he did then I feel terrible."

"Why don't you try the devices once more?"

"Will do Jarvis." Tony slipped into some casual clothing and headed for his lab. Laying there on the table were the two devices he hadn't touched in almost twenty-four hours. He picked up one of them and plugged it into the generator he and Megaman came up with.

Tony flipped a switch on the generator expecting to see nothing but was quite surprised when a portal opened up and on the other side was a beautiful plane with lush, green grass.

"He was right all along. He really is from another place. I'm such an idiot. I have to call Rhodes."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's amazing!" Rhodes exclaimed seeing the other world that was far beyond their's. "He was right. I can't believe it. It looks real but..."

"We have to find him and bring him back to send him home." Tony said. "He believed in us and we did too for a time until you came up with the idea that he was from our world."

"Suit up Tony. Iron Man and War Machine will go out and find him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Right on schedule." Megaman thought to himself watching the sky as Iron Man and War Machine flew into view. It was time to put his plan into action. The first part had succeeded; activating the reaverbot portal just to let them find Megaman. The next part was the death of Stark and Rhodes.

"Megaman, is that really you?" Iron Man's robotic voice rang out.

"Who else could have this kind of technology Stark?"

"Megaman listen to us, we found you a way home. Come with us and we'll get you back safely." War Machine stated.

"Well of course you found a way home for me. I'm the one that helped activate the portal. I found out a lot about Stane that you guys didn't know."

"What did you find out?" Iron Man asked back.

"During that time when he went back in time; he first was sent into my world. While there, he created the technology for the reaverbots to jump dimensions when he commanded them to. That's why I was sent through. He was originally going to kill me but then decided otherwise when I joined him."

"Megaman, you're going crazy now. Obadiah will just kill you in the end as well."

"You don't know what you're talking about Stark. A man with your intelligence should know that he wouldn't kill me."

"Megaman, we don't want to fight you. If we should kill you then that's it for your dimension." Rhodes spoke out.

"I thought that you didn't think that my dimension existed War Machine."

"I've seen proof of it. I'm sorry for ever doubting you."

Megaman just looked at the two armored warriors and without warning lashed out at both of them with the repulsor busters. Both men flew back but immediately retaliated with bursts of their own. They would do whatever they could to bring Megaman to his knees, and senses.

Megaman took the repulsor blasts like they were just gusts of air blowing at him. He felt nothing as he went up to War Machine and punched him as hard as possible in the head. Megaman then turned his attention to Stark and fired his right repulsor buster at full power.

Stark felt the impact as he landed lodged in the ground. He pulled himself free instantly and took back to the sky trying to dodge the repulsor blasts. Megaman wasn't letting up and was determined to bring both men down.

Megaman watched as War Machine tried to connect one of his fists with Megaman's face but Megaman was too quick for the thirty-year-old male. Megaman then found the right time and reached past Rhodes's defenses and pulled off the War Machine helmet. Megaman let it drop down to the ground and connected a punch of his own with Rhodes's lower jaw.

Rhodes pulled out and rubbed the tender area trying to force the pain away. He then saw Iron Man come up behind Megaman to strike him from behind. It didn't work though as Megaman ducked then kicked Iron Man's legs out from underneath him sending Stark into the nearest building.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stark blasted all of the rubble off of his Iron Man form and watched as Megaman and Rhodes continued their fight. "What should I do?" the scientist asked himself. "He's not under the influence of a drug this time, so there's nothing in his blood stream. That's Megaman doing all the fighting all right. Only he could pull off those moves."

Stark looked at his surroundings to try and get an idea in his brain. Nothing came to him though. He didn't want to seriously hurt Megaman, but if he didn't do something, the whole city could be ruined by night-fall. Megaman was his friend from the start and that wouldn't change. He would succeed in his mission to send Megaman home.

Tony activated the boosters and headed back out to where Rhodes was getting a beating from Megaman. Rhodes was getting slapped around so much that there was nothing that he could do. Megaman had the upper hand against War Machine and looked as if he would accomplish half of his mission for Obadiah.

Tony approached Megaman and blasted him in the back of the head sending the teen tumbling to the ground. Megaman must have regained consciousness because he came speeding back up toward Stark. Stark had to react immediately because Megaman was heading toward him and Rhodes was falling to what could possibly be his doom.

Iron Man took off for Rhodes and caught him but Megaman was there a split second after Iron Man. Megaman had a scowl on his face as he blasted with both busters at one-hundred percent power.

Tony took the blast and headed back for the building that he was forced into. Iron Man landed and set Rhodes down on the floor away from the gaping hole in the side. An employee rushed by trying to escape but saw Iron Man and Rhodes there and stopped.

"Get him to a safe place miss." Iron Man said.

"Sure thing Mister Iron Man." The woman picked up the heavy figure and dragged him off toward the nearest elevator.

"Come on Megaman, I'm waiting."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman watched as Iron Man set down Rhodes and as an unknown woman dragged the body off to an unknown part of the building. "It's time to finish this fight Stark." Megaman said to himself as Iron Man came rushing back out of the building.

"We don't have to continue this non-sense Megaman. We can stop now and I can take you home."

"I don't want your help anymore Stark. You betrayed me and now I'm doing the same to you. We will finish this battle, even if it means that one of us has to die."

Tony said nothing as he let Megaman's black figure rushed up to him and punched him in the torso then in the head. Tony didn't want to harm Megaman any more and just decided to sit there taking each blow hoping that something deep within Megaman would reawaken the hero. It seemed unlikely but it was possible.

"Put your hands up and fight Stark!" Megaman yelled out still dealing hard blows to the Iron Man armor. "Be a man and fight!"

"I don't want to. You'll just have to kill me Trigger. You'll accomplish Obadiah's mission for sure. What about your's though about returning home?"

"I'll just go to your place and go through the portal."

"What about when you get home though? Will you betray your family and friends like you did to Rhodes and I?"

"Now that you put things that way. Stark, I'm sorry. I over-reacted."

"No problem Megaman." Iron Man then inched back as a huge shadow formed over Megaman and Stark. Megaman turned around and saw the Iron Monger floating there.

"I'm ashamed of you Megaman. I thought we were partners."

"Not anymore Obadiah. I'm heading home and there isn't anything you can do to stop me."

"Oh really?" The Iron Monger's right fist rose up and struck Megaman hard sending him to Earth.

[Dragge]

Chapter 16- Home?

"Megaman get the heck outta here!" Tony shouted trying to evade the blasts from the Iron Monger. "I left the portal up and running! Get to it and get home!"

"I won't leave you behind Tony!"

"Go! That's an order Trigger!" Megaman did as he was told and sped off for Tony's mansion. He knew he could get back there before Obadiah had the opportunity to shut off the devices from his shack.

Megaman reached the house in record time and went straight for the lab where the generator was still laying. The portal was indeed open. Megaman saw a black and silver character sitting in one of the chairs as well.

"Stop right there Megaman. You're not leaving." Megaman watched as Rhodes stood up holding out his left hand while his right hand was clutching the left side of his torso. He put the left arm down and pointed over to a familiar blue armor. "You can't forget your armor. I had time to go to Obadiah's place and get it back for you. I even picked up Iron Man."

"Thanks Rhodes. I apologize for attacking you and all. We're cool right?"

Rhodes removed his right hand and held it out for Megaman to shake. "We're cool." he said shaking hands with Megaman. Megaman went over and picked up his armor.

"If you guys need any help, call me."

"Anytime Megaman." Megaman turned around to look at the portal leading back to his home. Megaman walked forward and stepped through into the familiar landscape of Kattelox Island. He was home at last.

Megaman looked around and saw no one. He decided to walk around the friendly island just to see if he could find anyone. Megaman walked and found where the entrance to the Apple Market was. He opened the door and was in shock to find nothing where it used to be.

There were no shops, there was beautiful roof with glass showing the outside, and there was no door to Downtown. Instead there was a huge gaping hole leading into nothing.

Megaman set down his blue armor and continued forward wondering what in the world had happened. Megaman walked out into what should have been Downtown but there was almost nothing. The walk around town proved to be terrifying. There were broken down buildings along with what appeared to be human bones.

There was only one explanation for all of it and Megaman uttered the single word to himself, "Juno." Megaman took off for full speed to the Clozer Woods ruin where the deep pit that Teisel had created wouldn't be there allowing him to enter.

Megaman traveled down the elevator and knew what to expect. Some of the worst reaverbots inside and having to find the three cards to activate the Main Gate. Megaman jumped down the familiar hole and decided to check the activation room just to check and see if the cards were there.

Megaman walked up to the control panel and saw that all but one was there. He even had a good feeling about which one it was. Megaman went straight for the room containing the Karumuna Bash trio. They were there indeed along with what looked to be a golden one.

Megaman took the elevator down and they leaped into action trying to fight off the intruder. Megaman didn't have to worry much about fighting them for the fact that he had the Iron Man armor equipped. Megaman shot each with a repulsor blast which knocked them out. They didn't get up again.

Megaman found the card and returned to the control room with it. Megaman heard the rumble as the Main Gate opened. It took a while but Megaman reached the area of the Main Gate where Juno rested. He didn't need keys this time as he just blasted the doors apart.

Sitting there almost waiting for him was indeed Juno. The Elysian saw Megaman and greeted him with the creepy smile. "I thought there was still another carbon up there. I was going to bring Eden back down to destroy you but by the time that would happen I figured you would be down here."

"I'm not a carbon Juno. It's me, First Class Purifier Unit Megaman Trigger. I'm here to hunt down you, an aberrant unit."

"Me? An aberrant unit? I think you've mistaken."

"I'm not." Megaman jumped into the air and avoided the electric trap that he fell into his first time here in the Main Gate. Megaman landed behind Juno and blasted him with full repulsor blasts. "Tell me Juno, what year is this?"

"I think I can answer that Megaman." said a familiar voice from Megaman's past. There in a ghostly form stood the Master. The one that loved Trigger for who he was.

"Master. What happened here? Is this the future?"

"Of course not Megaman. You defeated Juno remember. Then Data deleted the back-up that he originally created. This is the past. One-hundred years before you arrived on Kattelox by accident. What you saw above was the damage created by Eden."

"Why am I here?"

"Obadiah did this to you. He figured if he could tamper with the dimension devices he could send you to the past where he thought you wouldn't exist in the future."

"I would though. Barrel hasn't found me yet so I'd still be alive."

"The thing is though, you wouldn't be you. The you you would watch everything from the side-lines like how I'm doing while the future you would fall into the same trap set by Obadiah. You have to go back through that portal and set things straight."

"What if the portal isn't there?"

"It will be. Think about it Megaman. If this is the past, the future hasn't happened yet which means that all time froze when you stepped through the portal."

"One question before I leave. How did you know about Tony's dimension?"

"Like I said, I watch from the side-lines. Good luck Megaman." Megaman released Juno before leaving and headed back for the portal thinking that he already defeated him once, why do it again?

Megaman picked his armor up and found the portal where he left it. Megaman stepped through and saw Rhodes still standing where he had been before. "Aren't you leaving Megaman?" Rhodes asked looking confused.

"No, not yet. I have to help out a friend." Megaman dropped his armor and took off back for the city where Tony and Obadiah would still be fighting. Tony helped him out so now it was time to repay him.

[killerninja258]

I'm sorry to say this, but you fell into the same trap again. It's human nature to think everything through, which means one person can't be so impressionable to switch sides like Megaman did.

"What about when you get home though? Will you betray your family and friends like you did to Rhodes and I?"

"Now that you put things that way. Stark, I'm sorry. I over-reacted."


...What? They were trying to KILL each other seconds ago, wait Megaman was trying to kill stark. 'and then he just realizes he overreacts that easily!? That's just wrong. That's the problem I have, there's no internal conflict going on. There has to be internal conflict in order to make a good story, it reinforces the character and also makes it easy to write. Seriously. I'll rewrite that scene for you.

I'll do megaman's reaction to tony's comment.

"What about when you get home though? Will you betray your family and friends like you did to Rhodes and me?"

"You're the one that canned me onto the streets to go to Obadiah," Megaman said, "and I betrayed you? Look in a mirror, Stark."

"What would you have done if you were in my position? What if I came to your dimension and with no proof what so ever?"

"I still would've truste.."

"No you wouldn't. You're not that naive Megaman. You're smart enough to make sure of everything. That was the precarious position I was in, you could've been working for Obadiah just like I could be working for what ever bad guy is in your dimension. If you're looking after the people you love then you'd certainly do something similar. You wouldn't wish harm on them. I couldn't gamble," Stark said, "I'm sorry for throwing you out like that, but that was the only way I could."

"How do I know you're not trying to just sway me back to your side with lies?" Megaman said, still not sure. He knew Tony had a point, but he still wasn't trusting of Tony. Then again, he wasn't trusting of Obadiah either. Megaman was trapped in a state of ambivalence as he awaited Stark's reply.

"That's for you to decide," Tony said.

He seems sincere, but after what he did, I'm not so sure. Then again, Obadiah tried to kill us before already, and how do I know he won't take advantage of me? Tony at least treated me well while I was there. He even saved my life. If there's anyone who should have the benefit of the doubt, it's Tony, Megaman thought to himself.

"All right, I'll give you a chance," Megaman said, "I guess I over reacted a little. Didn't think it through."

"No problem, sorry about kicking you out," Tony said.


--------------------------

See? That's only based off of your two sentences, there's sooooooooo much characterization you can convey through the story just by doing things like that. If you can do this, your story will be...epic. It will make the story so much better than it already is. To write good stories, you have to become the character, and that's how you illustrate it. Still, you're doing a good job on the story, but there's so much you can add!

[Dragge]

Thanks for pointing this out too. I'll keep taking your advice andout it into my stories. Speaking of fan-fic, I have another one I'm going to finish after this called Casket. I didn't know if you'd been reading that one or not but just to let you know.

Chapter 18- Help Part 1

"Just a few more minutes." Tony thought while taking a beating from Obadiah. "I just have to last a few more minutes just to be sure Megaman went through the portal." Tony felt as if he would black out at any second.

The fight had started out in Tony's favor but quickly turned over to Obadiah. Tony couldn't evade one of his attacks and Tony was hit so hard that he couldn't think straight for a couple of seconds. After that the Iron Monger grabbed Tony and didn't let go while pounding on him with the other over-sized fist.

"If this is the way it ends, then so be it." Tony told himself. "Rhodes still has War Machine so he could always take over for me if I should perish." Tony flinched as another hit came across his view. He could feel himself weakening mainly because the miniature arc reactor was going full throttle. Tony prepared for another attack from Obadiah. He closed his eyes and waited. Tony opened his eyes and saw that Obadiah had stopped his pounding.

"Stark!" rang a very familiar voice.

"I can't be him." Tony once again said to himself starting to strain from lack of oxygen. "He's gone. I'm sure of it." Tony was able to see a familiar suit of armor that he created for a teenager there trying to pull the Iron Monger off of Tony.

"Tony! Get out of there now before I have to come over and slap you to your senses." Tony took Megaman's advice and freed himself without much energy. He was free for the first time in about ten minutes.

Tony gasped letting fresh air fill into his almost crushed lungs. Megaman tossed the Iron Monger aside and went over to Iron Man. "Tony, you okay?"

Tony coughed once more before he answered. "I will be, thanks. What the heck are you doing back here? I thought I sent you home."

"Well that was one order I had to break. Obadiah tricked me in the end and sent me one-hundred years into the past. An old friend of mine showed up and told me. I then realized that the only way to really get home was to stop Obadiah and set things straight."

"Just like Stane to trick someone in the end."

"Now Stark, will you help me?" Megaman asked holding a hand out to Tony.

"Of course. Obadiah's been trying to put us against each other. He succeeded twice but this time, we're together." Iron Man's attention turned to where the Iron Monger was just seconds ago. "Okay where the heck did Obadiah go?"

They never saw it coming. The Iron Monger came up right behind Tony and Megaman and struck both of them hard with his right hand. Both fell toward the ground. Tony regained control but Megaman continued to drop like a bowling ball off of a rooftop.

Megaman opened his eyes after his short black-out and immediately saw the ground coming up. There was at least one-hundred feet between him and the ground and the gap rapidly decreasing. Megaman snapped to attention and activated his repulsor busters to push him back into the sky. He straightened himself and headed back to where Obadiah was trying to get a hold on Stark again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony caught out of the corner of his eye that Megaman was starting to ascend to the sky again and put a smile on his face. That smile didn't last long because Obadiah was coming around for another hit. Tony just nearly dodged it in time. He tried to hit the Iron Monger with a couple of well aimed repulsor blasts but they missed horribly.

"Enough of this Tony." Obadiah spoke. "What do you say, a stalemate?"

"You've never given up this easily Obadiah. Why would you want a stalemate?"

"I don't!" Obadiah said almost laughing. Tony then saw it happen right before his eyes. The Iron Monger turned one-hundred eighty degrees and hit Megaman with both fists at once. Tony knew that without a helmet Megaman would black-out from the hit and would be unconscious for a good hour or so.

Tony started after Megaman but was so into saving the kid's life that he didn't see a fist from the Iron Monger swing into his path. Tony felt the blow and reeled back about ten feet. Tony tried to get to Megaman again but Obadiah blocked the way and held Iron Man at bay.

"Megaman!!!" Tony shouted in concern for his friend. At this height, and the fact that he was falling head first, the kid would die unless a miracle happened. Tony watched on in horror as Megaman continued to plummet toward his doom. "Obadiah quit this non-sense! A whole dimension rests on Megaman's shoulders!"

"That's why I want him dead, Stark. Without him, I'll have destroyed a whole dimension of people while only having to kill one."

"This is low Obadiah. Even for you!" Tony's hatred for Obadiah grew within him and he put all power to the replsor blasts. Iron Man opened up the palms of his hands and blasted at full power. The blast was great enough to send even the Iron Monger over thirty feet.

Tony locked back on to Megaman and knew that even at full speed he wouldn't be able to reach him in time. "Crap. This is it then. I'm sorry for failing you Megaman."

"While you complain about failing, I'll be the one gloating about success." Rhodes said through the com-link in the armor. Tony then saw War Machine blasting through the air heading right for Megaman. War Machine caught him in time then headed off for a remote location in the city.

"Thanks Rhodes. You just saved an entire dimension."

"Ah it was nothing Stark. Just glad I could help. I'll be back soon to help finish off Obadiah. Stay alive until I get back."

"Will do." Tony turned his attention to the Iron Monger which was just getting back up from Tony's previous blast. The cockpit opened up revealing the upper half of Obadiah. Obadiah was holding his head which had a terrible gash probably from hitting his head against one of the jagged points inside the behemoth.

"You son of a gun. I can't wait to erase you from the universe either Stark." Obadiah said trying to put pressure on the gash to stop the bleeding.

Tony saw War Machine fly up behind Obadiah and had an idea. "You want to kill me?" Tony said revealing his face. "Go ahead, free shot."

"Sure thing." Obadiah locked the machine gun onto Tony's face and placed his thumb over the trigger button he was about to push it when Tony shouted out.

"Rhodes, now!" The Iron Monger turned around and saw War Machine hovering right behind him. He had no time to react as Rhodes threw a hard punch at Obadiah's head. "Megaman okay?" Tony asked.

"He'll be fine Stark."

[Dragge]

Chapter 19- Help Part 2

Megaman got up from his laying position and rubbed his head. "Where am I?" he asked himself. "This place doesn't look familiar at all."

Megaman stood up and started to walk around the city streets. Megaman then looked at his armor. "When did I get this armor. Where's my digger armor?" Megaman heard an explosion and looked up into the sky. There were two figures up there that he didn't recognize. One was in red and gold armor the other in black and silver armor.

"This isn't Kattelox anymore. Who are they?" Another figure came into view trying to fight off the other two. The red and gold figure approached Megaman.

"Megaman, thank goodness you're up. We need your help!"

"Who the heck are you and how do you know my name?"

Tony realized that the hit must have given him amnesia. "No. Rhodes, we have a new problem."

"Besides Obadiah?" Rhodes joked around.

"The blow that Obadiah delivered to Megaman gave him amnesia."

"What!? Dang it Obadiah."

Megaman unknowingly activated his jets sending him into the sky next to War Machine. "Come on Megaman, try to remember everything." Rhodes pleaded.

"The last thing I remember is falling through some strange portal and tumbling down a hill toward a huge mansion." Megaman pointed one of his busters toward War Machine and the other toward the Iron Monger. "Since I don't know either of you, I might as well assume your pirates."

"What the heck. We're not pirates. Are we Tony?"

"Remember, he came from another dimension. A pirate could mean anyone really." Tony directed his attention toward Megaman. "Listen Trigger, we really need your help."

"Shut up Hot Rod Man!" Megaman shouted out of confusion.

"Hot Rod Man?" Tony asked himself. "Megaman it's me Tony Stark!"

"I don't care who either of you are, I'll take you all down!" Megaman blasted over to Iron Man and hit him hard with both busters at maximum power. Iron Man tried to fire back but Megaman grabbed both of his hands and directed them to War Machine.

"Tony we have to do something or else he really won't get home."

"Yeah I know that."

"Should I hit him on the head again?" Obadiah asked the others.

"No Stane. Even you should know that the hit could permanently damage his brain and he might never recover his memory."

"Tony, do you have anything back at your place that might be able to reverse the effects of the amnesia?" Rhodes asked trying to stay out of the path of Megaman's rage.

"Unfortunately I don't. I don't think that anyone does."

"Well crap then. We might as well let him beat us up. Maybe something of us not fighting him might bring his memory back."

"That might work. I just want the old Megaman back."

"I do too. For know though there's nothing that we can do. He's forgotten this whole mess of things and thinks that we're the enemy."

"Forget this!" Tony yelled out in rage. Iron Man darted over to Megaman. Trigger spun around and kicked at Iron Man's midsection. Iron Man didn't take notice of it and approached Megaman and punched him in the head. Megaman came back with a punch of his own.

Iron Man backed away from the fist and shot out with his repulsor blasts. Megaman flew back a bit from the hit but went back after Iron Man. Tony flew to the top of the nearest building and activated a secret weapon that he had been working on for weeks before Megaman's arrival. He went down on one knee and activated a medium sized cannon.

"Just a little more Trigger." Tony said to himself trying to line up the cannon with Megaman. "Bingo." Tony activated the cannon and a huge repulsor beam shot out of the barrel. Megaman took the shot hard and was slammed into the building right behind him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman opened his eyes and rubbed his head. He took his hand away and saw blood on the gloved hand. He had a small gash from the blast. "What a hit Tony. You should be more careful about where you aim that thing. Why didn't you stop him Rhodes?"

Tony hovered over to Megaman's position. "Welcome back Trigger."

"What in the world are you talking about? I've been here this whole time." Megaman saw the Iron Monger secretly come up behind Iron Man. "Tony watch out!" Megaman shouted shooting out a repulsor blast from one of his busters.

"Tony you idiot! You had to give him his memory back didn't you!?" Obadiah roared. "He would have been easier to kill with the memory of you gone."

"What's he talking about Tony?"

"When Obadiah hit you the second time, the blow gave you amnesia. Apparently my cannon gave you back that lost memory. Don't know how it was possible but it happened."

"Well, let's not sit here talking about lost memory anymore. Obadiah's done too horrible things and he can't be left with that armor. This time we'll dismantle it and then hand him over to the authorities."

"All right!" Tony exclaimed pumping his right fist into the air. "Rhodes, you ready for round two?"

"Ready? I've been waiting for at least a century while you two were talking your heads off. Of course I'm ready!" War Machine joined up with Iron Man and Megaman.

"Okay, Megaman has a good plan of taking apart the Iron Monger. I have a feeling that this will work too. Megaman, you get behind him and start with the neck. That'll get rid of his targeting systems. Rhodes and I will distract him as best as we can. You take him out."

"Sure thing Tony. It's time to finish this." Megaman got up and blasted out of his position and was able to get behind the Iron Monger before the beast could even think about turning around. Megaman leaped onto the neck and started pulling random wires. He didn't care what the wires were for just as long as his mission was accomplished.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony and Rhodes simultaneously went for the metal bulk that was claimed to be a suit of armor. Iron Man came up first and hugged the left arm. He stood up on the side of the torso and pulled as much as the suit would allow him to. Tony noticed that nothing was happening and put more strain on the suit.

Pieces of the Iron Monger were starting to fall off and Tony could feel the arm weakening as it became looser.

Rhodes was on the other side doing the same thing. The arm was becoming looser and eventually fell apart from the torso. "What's going on here!?" Obadiah screamed. "Why can't I fire my machine gun anymore?" The cockpit opened and Obadiah realized why he couldn't fire the machine gun anymore. The Iron Monger didn't have a machine gun anymore.

"Tony, go for the legs and it'll stop hovering!" Megaman shouted from behind the suit. He was still pulling wires hoping to cut power to whatever he could. It seemed stupid to do so but the Iron Monger still functioned.

Within a matter of minutes, both legs were pulled from the Iron Monger's torso. Obadiah could do no more but watch as the torso and cockpit fell from the high altitude.

"Should we slow him down Stark?" Rhodes asked revealing his face.

"Nope." Stark replied giving the simplest answer he ever gave in life. The trio watched as the rest of the Iron Monger fell to the streets below then heard the heavy thud as it landed. They quickly raced down there to stop Obadiah from escaping. Tony reached him first and held him up in the sky.

"Jarvis, get me through to the police." Jarvis did what Tony asked of him and in moments the police were on their way to pick up the once wealthy person.

"I just want to do one thing before the police take him away." Megaman said to Tony as he heard the sirens getting louder.

"What do you want to do?" Stark asked. Megaman took Obadiah in his own hands and punched him hard in the lower jaw.

"Payback for giving me amnesia." Megaman handed him back over to Tony who then handed Obadiah to the police.

"Well, it's time we get you home. Come on let's head back to the mansion."

"Hold on there Tony. We have to get to Obadiah's shack and get me back to my real time, not the past."

"I'll meet you guys at the house. I need to rest." Rhodes said taking off for Tony's house. Megaman and Tony went toward Obadiah's shack and found a way to send Megaman to the present time in his universe. Megaman knew that everyone had been looking for him so he didn't want to go back right after the point where he went through. It would make it seem like the whole thing never happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trio of guys were sitting at the table in Tony's kitchen sipping down coffee. "We should get you home Megaman." Tony said looking at the clock.

"Not right now. How about we wait until morning. I can't leave just now. I still have to get this gash covered up before I leave."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman looked around at his room before sitting down in the bed he had used. "Tomorrow I go home. It'll be great to see everyone again." Megaman went all the way down onto his bed and closed his eyes waiting for the morning to come.

Chapter 20- Welcome Home

Megaman woke up in his bed and looked out of his window to see a bright sun shining. A perfect day to head home. Megaman got out of bed and decided to put his normal digger armor then rather than later.

Megaman walked to the kitchen where everyone was all ready waiting for him. A huge breakfast was put out for his going back home.

"It's good that we can finally see you head home Megaman!" Pepper said sipping a bit of her coffee. "It seems like the time went by too quickly."

"It did. Then again I wasn't really supposed to come here in the first place. If Obadiah hadn't rigged the reaverbots with the portal devices then I never would have met any of you." Megaman walked over to the table and sat down in the last remaining seat. He grabbed what he wanted for breakfast and started to eat with everyone else enjoying another meal.

Tony was the first to speak after breakfast was over. "So let's get your stuff packed and we can see you off."

"Just a few things. I all ready have my stuff packed so I'm good there. There's just a couple of things I want before I leave. First is, if it's okay, that I take home blueprints for Iron Man. My sister is really into mechanics and she would love to look at it and see what she can do."

"Well I hate to just hand out my blueprints, but for you sure thing. What's the second thing?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman stood in front of the portal with his back-pack filled with his armor and clothes. He turned around one last time and waved good-bye to everyone. "If you guys at anytime want to drop in and say high you're free to do so."

"Same here Megaman." Rhodes said. "It was nice getting to meet someone from another dimension."

"It was nice getting to meet you guys as well. I'll see you some day in the future I hope." Megaman turned around to face the portal and stepped through this time going into where he really belonged, not the past.

Megaman sniffed the air. "It's great to be home!"

"You!" yelled an unfamiliar voice. "You're not Megaman!" A young man approached Megaman wearing similar digger armor but not quite the same. "Your armor looks nothing like Megaman's! You can't be him!"

Megaman dropped his back-pack and just smiled at the kid. "You know what? You're right. You're absolutely right!"

"Ha! I knew it!"

"I'm not Megaman." Megaman flipped open a small panel on his left wrist which revealed a small red button. Megaman pushed the button and closed the panel. His armor unequipped itself revealing a familiar red and gold armor underneath. In the middle of his chest sat the arc reactor that Jarvis had to place there to save his life. A red and gold helmet formed itself around all of Megaman's head except for his eyes and the bridge of his nose.

Megaman looked at the kid and said in a mechanical voice, "I am Iron Man." Megaman held up one hand and instead of the buster forming, a single repulsor cannon sat in the palm of his hand. Megaman fired at the kid sending him through the air into the Kattelox trees.

Megaman picked up his stuff and went to the closest place that had helped him years ago. He went to the Lightning Parts store located in the Apple Market. The couple that owned the place were always nice to Megaman when he crash landed on the island two years ago.

Megaman walked through the door and the couple were shocked to see an unfamiliar figure in red and gold armor. Megaman put back the helmet revealing the rest of his face. "Long time no see."

"Megaman!" the Junk Store Man yelled out. "What can we do for you?"

"I need a phone."

"What for?" the wive asked.

"I need to call for a ride home." The owners allowed Megaman to their phone and Megaman got through to Roll.

"Megaman!? Is that really you?"

"It sure is Roll."

"Where are you? Gramps, the Bonnes, Data, Sera, Yuna, my parents, and I have searched all over Terra for you!"

"I'm on Kattelox Island. Where are you?"

"We were just double checking Saul Kada Island. It'll take a while but we should be there by tomorrow. See you soon!"

"See ya Roll!"

"Need a place to stay?" the Junk Store Man asked.

"No I'm good for now. They'll be here tomorrow. This'll give me time to talk to the people I once saved!" Megaman headed to the door and headed for Downtown. People looked at him like he was a pirate but once they saw his face the shook hands with him and welcomed him back.

Megaman traveled all over the island talking to everyone he helped out; the curator, Ira, the Grocer and his wife, the Inspector, Jim and his gang, and even saw Paprika running through the streets.

Megaman walked to the Uptown area and went to see if Wily's Boats was still there. It was and had more boats than last time he saw. Wily had even kept around the boat he and Roll had used to fight off the Bonnes. Apparently Wily allowed only him and Roll to use the boat, no one else.

Megaman had noticed a new building off in the distance and headed off for the Old City. It had been overhauled. There were different businesses there along with a nice hotel. Megaman walked over to the hotel and noticed that there were no evil dogs in sight.

Megaman got himself a room for a low price. He went up and threw his stuff on the bed. It was getting late and he needed some sleep. It was great being home even if he wasn't in his own home. Megaman flung himself on the bed and closed his eyes waiting for the night to pass away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Megaman, wake up!" Roll said jumping up and down on his bed. "I'm so glad we found you!"

Megaman looked over at the clock on the bed-side and took notice of the time. "Roll it's six thirty in the morning. Why couldn't you have let me sleep." Megaman rolled back over in bed then opened his eyes wide open. "Roll!"

Roll threw her arms around Megaman taking all of the air out of him. "I was so worried that something happened."

"Something did happen. It's a long story I'll have to tell you later. Come on. Let's head back to the Flutter. I need a good breakfast and only you can do that." Roll giggled as Megaman got up and grabbed his stuff. They both went down to the lobby and left the building.

They both walked through the town right next to each other. They got to the Flutter in no time. Megaman was about to climb the ladder then noticed the device used for the portal. HE rushed over and picked it up. If Tony and everyone else was going to stop by sometime, he didn't want them alone.

Megaman entered the living room and saw that everyone was there and threw him a party. "Thanks everyone. I don't know what to say."

"Someone came by and told me to give you this package." Banner said stepping forward. It was a small gift. Megaman opened it and saw a credit card inside. There was also a card inside. Megaman opened it. It read:

Hope you're having a good time back home. We miss you all ready. Love, Tony, Pepper, Rhodes, and Jarvis.

"Boy do I have a story to tell you guys." Megaman said taking a piece of the all ready sliced cake. Megaman sat down on the couch and prepared his story.

[Dragge]

Epilogue

Megaman sat on his bed. He had told his story hours ago. Afterward he gave Roll the blueprints to the Iron Man armor. He was glad to be back where he belonged. Megaman heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?"

"It's Roll."

"It's unlocked." Roll opened the door and stepped through shutting it behind her.

"We'll be arriving at Pokte in a few minutes. If I'm correct you still have to meet with the Mayor who still has yet to give you the key to the city."

"Well I'm ready."

"Megaman you're wearing that armor."

"That's because that's who I am Roll. I told you that before I disappeared. I'm a man of action and adventure."

Roll laughed at Megaman's reply. "You're right about that Megaman. Well, I'll let you know when we're there."

"Thanks!" Roll left and shut the door giving Megaman his privacy. "I'm almost like Tony. He used to be a man of luxurious life but now he has a duty to the world. So do I."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony was looking at the device that let Megaman travel back home. He had been studying it just to see if there were ways to get to other dimensions.

Pepper walked up behind Tony and set a cup on the desk he was sitting next to. "You want some tea? Made it myself."

"Thanks Pepper." Tony picked up the cup and threw the tea down his throat before setting the cup back down.

"You still trying to find other dimensions?"

"Sure am. If Megaman's exists then there has to be other ones out there."

"Well, I'll leave you to your work. If you need anything I'll be upstairs."

Tony didn't say anything as Pepper left the room. After she left Tony stood up and went over to his reclaimed Iron Man Mark III armor. He put it on and stood in front of the portal. "Let's see whats out there." Tony threw a couple of switches and saw a new dimension appear. Tony saw in it a small little Italian man with blue overalls and a red hat with the letter "M" on it jumping over green and red turtles.

"Maybe I'll see what else is out there before going through." Tony took his armor off and set it back to Megaman's dimension. Tony walked over to the door and looked back at the dimensional portal. "Glad you're home Trigger." Tony opened the door and walked back up the stairs. Someday he would get a better look at Megaman's dimension, but that day he had to just relax.
