Mega Masters
2. A Joking Matter
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEven if Spring Man knew that Metal Man's orders were law until Wily return, he decided to not go on the rooftop for the moment, but to talk with someone that made the older armies of Wily's numbers go mad in a few seconds when they met him for the first time. The name...Clown Man. However, in that moment, Clown was nowhere to be found, even if Spring knew he normally watches that show he barely remembers the name of.
'What was the name again? MLZ? Or it was PLM? Ugh,whatever,i just want to ask him a few questions before starting to pack up my stuff.' Thought the former, knowing that even saying "hello" to Clown would have brought him the biggest pain of the whole week.
While he was coming closer to the "entertaining" robot's sofa,Spring looked around himself: numerous plushies were placed on different shelves,with a few DVD's to their right. The floor was crystalline, it could have been used as a mirror. Also, the absence of Clown's trapezium was noticeable:normally,he wouldn't sell it even for becoming God,but this time it was nowhere to be found.
'Strange...even if the script says clearly that the trapezium should be here...'
And, indeed,the trapezium was there, shortly after, Spring was hit by something to the face,so hard that his head, like a spring, fell behind his body. It felt like he had been knocked to the ground, but Spring was used to it, and asked Wily to add a little button to reset his body's springs position. After fixing his head on his shoulders,Spring gave a look to what hit him... Clown's trapezium.
'Really funny, Mr. Black Slash! It's also funny the fact that you made me the only sane robot to break the wall. I had to knock myself out the first time i saw it, because i was becoming insane! It's not funny!' Thought Spring, knowing that the readers and the author could read what he was thinking, and hoped they would make the author stop for once.
"Hey, look who came to our room! It's Useless Man! Too bad Wily didn't build Spiked Wall Man before you, because it would have saved you a lot of humiliation, you know that?"
"Spiked Wall...OK, that's really the best joke you could think of,Clown Man? I mean, at least i'm still more respect than you by the internet community!"
Clown Man dropped himself from the trapezium, aiming to land right on Spring's head, planning to bounce on it before landing on the nearby sofa. Obviously,Spring Man noticed it, and moved to the left, making the entertainment park robot slam his face on the floor, making numerous cracks and ruining his plans, but leaving said robot's face undamaged.
"Ow, man! That wasn't funny!"
"It doesn't matter right now. I need you to help me something..."
"Agh! My poor nose! If you didn't want to talk,you could have just said so, Magnet!" screamed a pained Gemini Man,while holding his nose with his left hand.
Indeed, Magnet Man did kick Gemini in the face,but just because he thought that was Megaman. There were practically no lights in the warehouse, so it was easy to think someone was someone else, due to their silhouette.
"I already told you, i'm sorry! I thought you were Mega Man!" said Magnet, trying to apologize to his brother.
"it's fine Magnet, really...just,how did you thought i was Rock if our silhouettes are totally different?!" asked Gemini,still pretty confused.
"Just forget about it,Gemini. Now,before i kicked you, you said i had to go on the roof because Metal Mantold you to told me, because if we don't he is going to to pretty much throw Metal Blades everywhere in a fit of rage" asked Magnet,receiving a nod from Gemini Man
"Yeah, that's right, and even if he didn't say it, i'm also pretty sure about the Metal Blade thing." answered Gemini,making gesture of following him.
"Then let's get out of here, for good."
'Two are done,only two left...' Thought to himself Gemini while leaving the warehouse, knowing this quest for finding everyone was soon coming to an end for good.

In the meantime,at Ponyville library,Twilight Sparkle was quite nervous. She asked Princess Celestia,her teacher and goddess of the sun, if she should let Pinkie build a fully functional cake-shaped like charriot,and she didn't receive yet the answer.
Worst of all, Pinkie had already started building the jelly interiors, and nobody knows what could happen if Pinkie had her own chariot.
"I think you should relax Twilight. i mean, yeah, we're talking about Pinkie, but we'll have to wait days until that chariot is done."
Reassured her Spike,her loyal assistant,knowing that the magenta unicorn was having one of her usual panic attacks.
"Nononono, Spike! This is far more worrying than Pinkie's chariot! i sent the letter one hour ago, and Princess Celestia hasn't answered yet! Just what is going-
At the word "going" Spike burped a letter,Princess Celestia's letter to be more exact. Twilight relaxed herself immediately when she saw said letter,and started to read.
"Dear Twilight,i'm sorry to interrupt the activities you and your friends are doing at the moment,but yours presence is requested here in Canterlot. A chariot will come to pick you and the rest of the Elements of Harmony in fifteen minutes. There is no need to pack up,you're staying at the castle just until tomorrow. By the time this letter comes,the fifteen minutes will start,so you must be quick to gather you friends.
- Your teacher,Princess Celestia." read aloud Twilightcompletely ignoring Spike.
"...Twilight?" Interrupted Spike, which was looking at the unicorn and trying to understand what was wrote on the princess's letter, since the magenta unicorn had only read the last line.
"Spike, call the girls. The fastest you can. Because we are going to Canterlot."

Back to the Skull Fortress,Gemini had found Magic in the laboratory, but the door was locked up, and Magic didn't want to come out.
"Oh, for Pete's sake...! Magic, open this door, now! Or i'll blast it down!" exclaimed an angry Gemini,which was now arguing with the robot magician.
"I am terribly sorry, Gemini Man, but i can't reveal you how i am going to pull off my trick!" Answered Magic, which found the scene extremely funny, even if he didn't laugh like a madman, a thing a gentleman like him would never do.
"Oh,come on! I know you stole Sword Man's legs and you're planning on repainting them,so you can replace Burst's legs with them!" Said Gemini,making Magic's freeze dead in his tracks.
"W-who told you?!" Asked Magic, shocked at the news that is trick has been discovered so quickly.
"Burner and Dynamo saw you on two different occasions, each time carrying something with you." Answered Gemini, knowing that from Magic nervousness, he could use this to blackmail him into going into that portal on the rooftop.
"...Fine. i will come with you. Also,when you think of blackmailing me,don't think out too loud, Gemini Man." Said Magic, who was now forced to come out of the laboratory, now able to hear Gemini curse to himself for saying such things out loud.
"Well, this wasn't that hard now, was it?" asked the smaller robot master, happier than ever that such an enigmatic figure like Magic Man had actually been easy to convict.
"At least do not annoy me while we go on the rooftop, Gemini Man."
"So, yo got everything you wanted, geeky?" Asked Clown Man, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, i think i'm good. Thanks Clown Man!" Spring said,starting to walk away with a note book in his hands.
While he was walking,he started giving it a read: that notebook was, in fact,the script to this whole story. From its villains, to the original characters
...However,when he reached the page that should had told him how the story would had ended,he found a note written on it, with Clown's autograph next to it:
"Y U NO GRAND FINALE?!"
