1.1 - In which there is an argument

"There's no way in hell that's going to work, no way no how!"

Bryan shouted while throwing a random wrench that had been just lying on a nearby bench to his mentor figure. Said mentor, who was strangely enough none other than Doctor Wily easily dodged the thing before shouting back.

"And I'm telling you that if we hook up the core directly to the auxiliary power amplifier in a quartium loop it will!"

"It won't!"

"It will!"

"Won't"

"Will"

"No!

"Yes!"

"Not Plausible!"

"It is to!"

It was just as the teenager and old man suddenly got into a wrestling match that Mega Man ran into the room with his buster drawn.

"Wily! Stop whatever scheme you have and release… your… hostage?"

It was at this moment the blue bomber trailed off as he looked at the two humans who were currently fighting each other. The two of them seemed to be in their own little world as they argued with each other and completely ignored him.

"Net!"

"When did you learn Russian, and Ja!"

"The last time you kidnapped Dr. Cossack's daughter I was here and she taught me some of her mother tongue, and No!"

"Oh my bad, and Yes!"

"ENOUGH!"

Almost on instinct they dropped their argument and the thoroughly confused Mega Man had to duck both a wrench and a screwdriver thrown at him with unnerving accuracy. The two looked slightly sheepish at being caught mid argument and at the very least the teen looked like he was sorry for the wrench.

"Mega Man! Just in time, help us solve this argument and then we can get into the whole save the hostage and day thing."

"Great idea my apprentice, get over here and look at my latest masterpiece and tell my foolish hostage that the power amplification system I worked out will work!"

With no clue what the heck was going on the blue bomber watched on as the two proceeded to once more get into an argument. Thus without any idea of what had just happened he complied all while wondering how Wily's hostage went from just a means of an end to an apprentice of some sort.

1.2 - In which Bryan has to deal with a substitute teacher

"And what pray tell do you think you're doing?"

Hearing the voice of the substitute teach Bryan looked up just in time for said teacher to snatch his extra special phone from him. It just so happened that the damn thing had gone off in the middle of class and before he could look at it the teacher had taken it.

"Mr. Nazu I was just-"

"Detention for taking a phone out in the middle of class."

"But sir tha-"

"No but's, you will get this back at the end of the day."

"Sir you don'-"

"Sit down right now or I will have you thrown out of class."

The rest of the students looked at the substitute teacher in shock as he ignored the brown haired teen. A quick round of looks at the others and they instantly knew that this was going to end badly for everyone else.

As for Bryan he looked at the teacher who completely ignored him before fearfully glancing out the window and speaking in a low voice. "Whelp, this is going to end badly."

A few minutes later and suddenly the phone started ringing, interrupting the teacher mid lecture who sent an irritated glare at the teen. Said man quickly stopped it and was about to continue when the phone rang once more, much to his irritation.

When it happened a third time he threw a glare at the teenager before picking up the offending cell and speaking. "Detention for the next two days Bryan."

Said man then proceeded to turn it off while the rest of the class stared at him stupidly before as one pacing what items they didn't want to lose.

A few minutes passed when nothing happened but the teacher continued on with his lecture before once more being interrupted. It just so happened that the phone was remotely turned back on and once more starting to ring, much to the now red faced teacher's irritation.

It was then in a move of pure stupidity that made every student look on in fear that the teacher took out the cell and answered it.

"I don't care who you are but I am in the middle of teaching a class and if you want to contact your friend then it can wait until after his detention today. Bryan detention for the rest of the week."

The class was treated to the sound of a brief grunt from the phone before the connection was cut and the rest of the class nervously glanced out the window.

The teacher was now giving an angry glare at the teen who had at some point facepalmed at what he just knew was going to happen next. Five minutes later the phone once more started ringing and the now incredibly angry teacher glared at the teenager and picked up the phone before trying to stomp right towards him.

Just before they could take a second step though the door was suddenly blown off its hinges causing everyone to scream and duck for cover. As for Nezu he just about to start shouting before a black blur suddenly appeared in front of him and found an extremely strong hand gripping his throat and picking him up off the floor.

Any bravo was lost as the teacher found himself staring into the red eyes of an evilly grinning Bass who's buster could be heard charging.

"You know, I was wondering who had the balls to try and prevent me from contacting my brother. Turns out the school hired an idiot of a substitute teacher who apparently either didn't read the memo they were given or completely ignored it."

1.3 - In which someone forgot Wily needs meds

It was just seven or so minutes past midnight when Shadow Man teleported into Bryan's room and proceeded to grab him, bed and all. Naturally the traveling into a different dimension woke the almost teen up and his first reaction was to whack the robot with a wrench.

"Where do you keep that thing?"

The ninja based Robot Master easily grabbed the metal object and disarmed the almost teen before dragging them back into the material world. His question however was forgotten for as soon as they landed they had to duck what appeared to be a pink flaming black marshmallow puff.

Any grogginess that Bryan was feeling at that moment was instantly forgotten as he let out a yelp and dropped to the concrete floor. He then had to roll to the side when Gut's man suddenly hit the floor right next to his head before jumping up and behind an overturned table that was acting as a barricade.

"What in the name of Amatsaru is going on here?"

Wearily looking up from his shield the boy felt his jaw go slack as he caught sight of Wily's various Robot Masters trying to, and failing, fight off an army of what looked like marshmallow peeps. Cut Man was currently unconscious on the side of the room being guarded by Metal Man, Air Man and Bubble Man were currently trying to defend their left flan from being overwhelmed, while Snake and Wood Man tried to guard a pile of their fallen brothers and the occasional sister.

And there, right in the middle of the mess and wearing what looked like a giant marshmallow peep on his head as a crown was none-other than Doctor Wily himself.

"MUWHAHAHAHAHA! None can stop me and my army of DOOOM!"

Cue more mad cackling and Bryan watched as another wave of flaming marshmallow puffs in a rainbow of color were launched towards a random Robot Master. Instantly he ducked down once more to prevent himself from being seen as Shadow Man appeared behind him and spoke.

"Who in blazes forgot to give Wily his meds?"

The ninja looked at the 12 year old blankly before slowly speaking.

"That… would explain a lot… please, help us sort out this mess first and we'll sort that out later."

"... Fine."

1.4 - In which, oh god who gave him a weapon?!

Ducking behind a wall Mega Man not for the first time wondered when everything had gone wrong. It had started out as every normal save the world from Wily mission he had gone on at first, defeating eight Robot Masters before the final fight in the latest fortress.

Then, just before he could fight the newest Robot Master Boss of Wily's, the robot went crazy and proceeded to destroy the castle before kidnapping Bryan of all people. Sure the teenager was good at robotics having been trained by Wily of all people but besides being a curiosity amongst them the human was left alone.

Though the main reason for that was generally because the teen was the one who kept the German scientist from going off the deep end.

Apart from that Mega Man considered the human a friend of his who helped him out when needed but generally kept himself away from trouble. Then again it was times like this that he realized the teen was still technically in Wily's camp.

Risking a glance up he just barely managed to avoid a stray shot as Proto Man suddenly dragged him back down.

"What in blazes do you think you're doing Rock?!"

Before the Blue Bomber could say anything Bass suddenly jumped over their cover and landed with a semi-panicked expression on his face. Risking a brief glance over once more Mega Man decided to ignore his rival and answer his older brother's question.

"Just wondering what in blazes pised Bryan off."

He watched as the teen grabbed what looked like a sign and chucked it at King with deadly precision, only for the royal-like robot to dodge it last minute.

"Yeah that's a good question and let me return it with, who in blazes gave him a weapon?"

The two robots looked at each other briefly before turning to the black one in their midst who was admittingly worrying them. Bass was the type of robot who hated being seen as weak, so to see him almost curling up in fear right now was rather alarming.

The second they looked at him the Wily-bot shakily looked at them before slowly raising one hand and pointed at King.

"He… he kicked Tarkin."

As one the brothers blinked before slowly looking back towards the rather one sighted fight where King was starting to adopt a panicked look. This was probably a good idea because somehow Bryan had apparently managed to get his hands on at least eight cans of premium high quality plasma.

At this point the cyborg had red eyes and somehow managed to hook all of them around one arm and was feeding the liquid into his buster for some ridiculously powerful shots.

"I DON'T CARE WHO YOU FLIPPING THINK YOU ARE, NOBODY HURTS MY FOX!"

The shout was followed by a blast that was easily twice the size of the teen himself being sent towards the latest creation of Wily's before the two brothers decided it was a good idea to slowly retreat behind their cover. Another look at each other and it was rather unanimously decided that Bass had the right idea.

1.5 - In which Bryan is taken hostage again and again

The first time it happened he couldn't help but stare at them in incomprehension before sitting down and staying quiet for the most part. Sure there were others also in the same predicament but everyone seemed to overlook the young kid at the time.

The second time he was on a field trip and cursed his luck before sitting down and cracking open a book that he had brought with him. This time they gave him a brief look over out of boredom before concentrating on everyone else for whatever reason.

When it happened a third time he was just getting out of school for the day and sat down to start on his homework. Once more they had given him a brief glance that seemed to linger a bit longer before going to intimidate the others into cooperation.

He was at the park when it happened for a fourth time and he decided to shake things up by leaning against a wall while playing a game on his Gameboy. When they passed him this time he actually looked away from Mario's game to give a brief greeting before returning to dodging the Bullet Bills.

As it were he found himself in the same situation over and over again with no clue how it was even possible to have luck this horrible. Each time he found some way to keep himself occupied and out of the way until rescue came.

Eventually though things came to a head when he was kidnapped a seventh time by the rather infamous Dr. Willy and his Robot Masters before being taken to their Skull Fortress. This time he was on his way to school when it happened and so decided that now would be a good time to sit down and review his homework.

Unfortunately this time the people he had been placed with were a bit more dumber than usual and decided to try and stage a break out. When they somehow managed to get lucky he could only look at those incredibly brave but stupid souls incrediblusely.

They would end up trapped within a hallway within the first ten minutes of escaping with spikes on one end and a laser grid on the other.

With a tired sigh the boy put away his things before standing up and stretching to get a few kinks out of his neck. Once that was done he walked over to the door and after making sure it was safe, poked his head out of the room and into the hall.

The end result was the boy blinking his eyes rapidly at the sight of none-other than Dr. Wily angrily stomping down the hall muttering to himself.

"Incompetent fools, can't even keep a bunch of hostigas in a simple cell without allowing them to escape."

It was at this point that the mad scientist actually looked up and saw that there was a kid poking their head out of the cell. Incredibly the kid sent him a blank look before shaking his head and turning around to enter the room once more.

Still irritated but also slightly intrigued, the scientist walked by the room and caught sight of the kid reaching into his bag to pull out a book. They had apparently decided to sit down in a corner and were making no move to escape.

It was only when the boy was kidnapped for an eighth time on a field trip that things finally got interesting. While everyone was kept together there was an increased amount of guards to keep watch and he had just gotten out a book to read when the mad doctor himself entered the room.

Everyone was instantly on edge as Dr. Wily walked around before finally pausing to stare at the boy who blankly looked back at him. The scientist looked to the book, the boy, the book again, and then turned around to look at the rest of the people with an irritated scowl.

After that things seemed to go back to normal and Megaman arrived to save everyone but the boy couldn't help but feel like something had changed.

1.6 - In which Blues and Bryan hang out

"So… what's it like being his apprentice/minder?"

Glancing at the yellow scarfed individual that had managed to get close to him without anyone noticing he let out a sigh and spoke.

"All things considered… It's rather similar to having a pet of some sort. Most of the time I have to make sure he's eating and drinking before herding him towards his room every now and then so he can get some actual sleep."

Blues tilted his head to the side in contemplation for a moment before nodding as he remembered his time in the lab before leaving.

"Yeah that sounds about normal for him, anything interesting you're working on?"

For a moment Bryan was quiet as he contemplated what he was going to say and simply watched a few people walk about the park.

"Nothing much, been tinkering around with making prosthetics for people though I've run into a problem of trying to translate bio-electric signals into something that a computer can understand. On a side note my first actual robot ended up almost taking out three of his RM's before being stopped, he was rather proud about that."

At this Protoman couldn't help but let out a brief snort as he imagined the infamous Wily acting like a proud grandfather. He could just imagine the German scientist wiping away a tear of joy watching his creations try and stop his apprentice's creation.

Amusingly enough the teen had managed to grab a tablet out of his bag and was bringing up some pictures of the incident in question. Though any amusement went out the window the second Blues caught sight of a series of blueprints in the corner of the screen.

A raised eyebrow later and he noticed that the human besides him was conveniently looking anywhere else but at him. Little to say the robot was able to download and isolate the pictures in question for later analysis.

1.7 - In which nanites are involved

"How is your apprentice handling things?"

Wearily looking up at his old friend Wily quietly accepted the offered cup of coffee and took a sip before speaking.

"He's… coping as well as can be expected but has locked himself up in his room back at my fortress."

Letting out a sigh the German sat back in his chair and began to once more let his mind wander to his apprentice. Bryan had indeed locked himself up in his room and was currently refusing to leave for anything else short of the bare essentials.

Thomas Light himself let out a contemplative hum as he watched his former friend absentmindedly scribble something down on the papers scattered about. Right now the two were being forced to take a break as the computer compiled their recent attempt to make a cure for the new virus known as Roboenza.

As for where the virus came from, it had started when Wily decided to make nanites to help with hacking on a military contract. When he was done Bryan had taken some of the excess nanites with the intention of making a form of spray on bandage that could also be used as makeshift stitches in case of emergency.

After his final touch he had sent a small sample to Doctor Light for final analysis where the good scientist had hooked them up to his computer. Unfortunately that was where things went incredibly wrong because unknown to Thomas Light an anti-robot terrorist group known as the Emerald Spears had hacked into his systems.

The group then proceeded to infect what they thought was a new robot with a viral program that would replicate endless and cause the infected machine to turn aggressive. Unaware of this breach Doctor Light proceeded to send the newly infected nanites back to Bryan via post wherein a clinical error caused them to get lost.

By the time anyone realized what had happened it had been a week later and the nanites had already spread quite far. Thus coming full circle we find both Wily and Light once more under one roof desperately looking for a cure while Megaman, Protoman, and Bass went out to try and quell the resulting chaos.

Thomas Light's attention was once more drawn to his former partner once the man let out a long sigh and set his now empty cup down on a small clear section of the table.

"You know the worst part of this whole thing… I recently learned that Bryan's parents were high members of the Emerald Spears."

At this admission Light couldn't help but grimace as he watched Wily lean backwards and let his exhaustion finally show. It also made this mess even more of a ticking time bomb seeing as how the teen had kept the knowledge of him being the world's first cyborg quiet.

"I see… then it appears as if we have much more work ahead of us then old friend."

1.8 - In which there is time travel

"You are one of the smartest scientists in the world and managed to successfully invent time travel…"

Bryan looked on blankly as Wily absentmindedly scratched his head while looking at the time machine's controls.

"Yet you forgot to invent a way for us to find our way back home."

"Tch, what did you expect from this old fool brother oh mine?"

Looking at Bass the cyborg let out a long suffering sigh before stretching and trying his best to get comfortable in the rather cramped seating area. It really didn't help that both Treble and Tarkin were also inside the capsule but at the very least the group didn't have nearly as much trouble as organics would have.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm starting to expect this from gramps but that doesn't mean I like it… on that note what was your plan this time Wily?"

The two watched as the German let out a long string of curses in his mother tongue before the scientist finally decided to answer his apprentancies question.

"If you must know I was planning on using the Wily Time Capsule Mk1 to travel into the future where my future self would have made a dead drop of future tech for the me of the present to take."

Going back to his controls, the cyborg, Robot Master, and two robot animal companions shared a look of exasperation with each other. They could just tell that this was going to take a while, though on the bright side Bryan did bring his DS and PSP with him on this trip.

Within minutes the two had lost themselves to their respective games while their companions let themselves relax against their respective owners. They were then dragged back to reality when Wily let out a shout of triumph as the Time Capsule finally came out of the time stream.

The German's shouts of triumph however were cut short as the group found themselves staring down a group of robots who were pointing their weapons at them in shock.

Ironically one of these robots was none-other than Bass in his Treble Boost form and besides him was a taller robot in red with long blonde hair that almost reached the floor. Besides them there was also what appeared to be a taller Megaman standing next to his miniature counterpart, Protoman, Roll, Rush, and a female robot that bore an unassuming resemblance to none other than Bryan himself.

For a moment the two groups were quiet as they looked at each other before Bryan and Bass shared an exasperated look with each other.

"Right, you make sure gramps doesn't do anything stupid while I try and sort out this mess."

"Agreed, and from now on the doc is forbidden to mess with anything time travel related."

Looking at the group in front and the ever increasingly pissed off expressions on the other Bass and his strange female lookalike Bryan couldn't help but agree. The only bright side to this whole mess that the cyborg could see was that this is only a possibility of what could have been.
