Mega Masters
3. The Tamed Cyclone
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIf there's something Gemini hated,that was finding himself on the towers of the Skull Fortress: the flying robot masters always flied over there,causing strong wings to hit the towers. Wily promised more than one-hundred times that he would fix the problem,also because it damaged the whole fortress,but never did anything. Also,the wind would turn someone's hair into a bloody mess,something that a narcisist like Gemini simply couldn't accept
However,that day the wind was kind of calm,and Gemini knew why: when Wind Man was flying around,the others just stayed in their rooms,fearing what kind of hurricane Wind could cause at full power. To say the truth,Gemini and the sixth army were the only ones to know the truth about the giant.
Wind was thought to be a powerful robot,so powerful that when flying around,he would case strong winds and even little tornadoes when he wanted,but in reality,he was a shy guy:he didn't talk to any other Robot Masters,except for the members of his army,the one that participated to the first robot tournament. His weapon,the Wind Storm,was never used outside combat,because of its destructive power,and when it was time to be used,it was always at the last moment.
That day,Wind was sitting on a cloud,letting the smaller birds land on him...he was like a statue up in the sky,that no one wanted,or dared to be more correct,to disturb. However,Gemini needed him in that precise moment,because when Metal says,you do...he really wanted Wily o come back the faster he could.
Back to the narration,Gemini already tried to shoot his Gemini Laser in the air,but with small succes,because the laser would reach the third meter after it was shot and then disintegrate.
So,after grabbing a megaphone and reaching the rooftop,he tried to get Wind Man attention by shouting into it.
"Hey Wind! Do me a favor and come here!" screamed Gemini to the originally projected for agriculture robot,making all the birds fly away and frighting him a little.
Wind then looked down,and saw Gemini making gesture of coming to him. The chinese giant then took off from the cloud-
it was nearly impossible to hear him or his shoulder-assembled engines,you could just see the air becoming a little warmer around the zone he was flying. Wind quietly landed on the roof,and after regaining himself,he decided to greet Gemini.
"O-oh,hi Gemini. So,do you need me for something?" asked Wind to the way smaller robot. Personally,i think that Wind's voice needs special mention:due to not having a mouth,and a mask covering when his mouth would normally be,Wind sounded a little like Darth Vader,only shyer.
"Yeah,Metal told me to gather you and the others. I'm going to explain why when everybody will come,so sit down please,because it's going to take some time." answered Gemini,which now totally got Wind's attention:what could possibly be going on at the Skull Fortress?
Even trough the throne room was pretty silent,the tension could be heard in the whole city of Canterlot: Princess Celestia had to drink twenty cups of tea to calm down a little,but it was totally justified: six beings from another dimension,extremely violent,created by a madman to conquer the world...and yet,Luna had chosen them over the greatest warriors of Equestria to guard the elements of harmony. Celestia's mind was fulfilled of questions...questions that only her sister could answer,
but it looked like she didn't want to answer them.
"Her majesty?"
Celestia was torn away from her thinking when a guard stepped in.
"What is the matter,my little pony?"
"The portal will open in ten minutes. May i call princess Luna to the rendez-vous spot?" asked the guard,doing exactly what was he instructed to by Celestia herself..
"Yes,i give you the permission to call my sister from her rooms." said Celestia,with a radiant smile on her face. After earning a quick nod from the guard,and after the former leaved the throne room,Celestia began to prepare another cup of tea:the twenty-first that day.
"Twilight,darling,do you know why Princess Celestia would want the elements of harmony?" asked Rarity,interested to know what was going on. Twilight simply shook her head.
"I don't have any idea Rarity. I think that no one here as any ideas of what is going on..."
answered Twilight,pretty perplexed about her teacher request.
"Now that you said it,maybe i do." said one of the pegasus that was puling the chariot.
"Uh?"
"Maybe i know what was going on. It's a strange thing,really,but after Nightmare Moon return and the reform of Discord,nothing is strange anymore"
Answered the pegasus,gaining the six mares attention.
After checking that no one was listening,the pegasus began to recount the events of that morning
"After they send a letter in a blue envelope,i heard Princess Luna and Princess Celestia talk about six powerful warriors from another dimension. They are going to open up a portal in a few minutes,making them come into Equestria. they also said something about 'hidden elements,but i'm not too sure.."
The mention of new elements made the six mares trade confused looks,before Twilight told the pegasus to keep going.
"I mean,i only heard a part of the conversation,but i also heard more from Princess Luna.
It looks like each of this warriors has a weapon of his choice,and that they all specialize into things totally different from each others.I also heard two other things."
explained the pegasus,which now had earned the six mares attentions and got their eyes locked up on him.
"What are the other things,darling?" asked Rarity,which had her eyes wide open.
"First,there are sixty-four in total about those warriors,and second,they are called "Robot Masters". concluded the pegasus,with a smile on his face. "Now it's better that you retract into the carriage,because i don't want to be fired."
Twilight Sparkle nodded for the rest of the group,retracting into the carriage.
The six mares then started to talk about everything they learned so far about what was going on at Canterlot,each one of them with a different opinion
"THIS IS AWESOME! I mean,if there is a 'Rebot Master' that is fast,then he should also be master of speed!"
said an excited Rainbow Dash,thinking about those six warriors,and what they could do.
However,Twilight decided to cut the wings to Rainbow Dash,using her mind and thinking about negative consequences.
"Do not get too much excited Rainbow. What if they are evil? What if they already took over Canterlot?! What if they are stronger than the princesses?! It would be a tragedy!" explained her,which was starting to being took over by the panic.
"Ah don't think they are THAT bad,sugarcube. Ah mean,yep,they are powerful and everything,but ya don't think that is exaggerated,Twah?" asked Applejack,which was the only mare that keep her cool.
"I-if you say so,AJ."
"Hey girls,look! It's Canterlot!" exclaimed Pinkie,which was looking at the huge castle that the princesses residence was.
They were here.It was the moment of the truth.
One by one,every robot master and clone of Gemini Man reached the rooftop,with the formers being reabsorbed by the original one. five minutes before the portal would've opened up,every robot master which name was on the list that came with the letter were on the rooftop,ready to do what they were going to do. After clearing up his troath, Gemini started to talk,explaining what would happen.
"I'm really sorry if someone was doing important tasks,but this is going to be far more important: this morning,our Spring here recovered a blue envelope,which contained a letter and a list: the first one said that six of our robot master would had to cross a portal to another dimension. The letter was signed by a certain Princess Celestia." explained Gemini,making some of the robot masters trade worried looks at the mention of the name.
"On this list here,we have our names. It's a matter of minutes now,and the portal will open. Remember,when the portal opens,don't dash and don't attack anyone you see. If it's true that we're all going into a different dimension,then we can harm anything we see,because they aren't humans...or,to say the truth,i have no idea if we can't simply harm humans or we can't harm anything that's alive. Understood?" asked Gemini,which received nods from every robot masters on the rooftop.
"Good. We might say goodbye to everything about this world,so prepare for the worst. If we are going down,the one that will put us out of misery will go down with us. Prepare everybody... here the Wily Numbers come!"
