TRIPLE ZERO HERO

“I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.”-Bob Dylan. ((A independent roleplaying blog for AU!Proto Man. Please read the links for more info. I also track my url in the tags!))

He blamed himself for a few months ago, hadn’t he? Roll can tell. She gently rubs a hand along Proto Man’s back in an attempt to console him without words. 

"It’s okay. I’m just glad you’re safe. You’re here now, and that’s what’s important. Um… Proto Man, can I hang out with you for a while? The boys keep fighting…"

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— Blues accepted the consoling back rub from his little sister. It actually made him feel a little better about being around her. He pats her back.

"Of course. You can hang out with me anytime you want to, Roll."

[sweetlightlabsassistant]

"…Oh." 

Roll’s voice has taken on a sad tone, and she clings just a little tighter to the wandering hero.

"You picked a bad time for it. Wily attacked again… Rock and Elec Man stopped him, but then Rock started acting weird and the copy robots started wreaking havoc again… T-they put Dr. Light in the hospital!"

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— Honestly, Blues did hear about the attacks going on but decided to keep his nose out of it. With what happened with Snake Man and all, he felt that he couldn't up hold his duties as a 'hero'. It struck a cord within him and it was dragging him down. But he didn't have the heart to tell her that. Not his little sister of all people. Blues hugged Roll a little tighter.

" ... I'm sorry." He was rather soft spoken as he apologized.

[prototypedshield]

did you run away because you failed to save elec man and roll from being ripped apart?

{⊗};—

" … "

[sweetlightlabsassistant]

Yes. Good. Cuddle her, she needs it with all these boys and their drama going around.

"I was worried about you… Where’ve you been?"

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— Blues was silent for a few moments but he softly rubbed her back as he was thinking about excuse to say.

" ... Just away. I didn't go anywhere particular, really."

[sweetlightlabsassistant]

And look who’s noticed, running over to the scarved hero and throwing her arms around him faster than you could say ‘Proto Man?!’.

No words, only hugs now.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};—

The red robot looked down at the smaller one. He was silent as well but knelled down and gently wrapped his arms around her into a secure embrace.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};—

Well, well, well. Look who it is standing in the shadows, watching all this chaos ensuing.

[prototypedshield]

(( ... I know it has been a few weeks since I've actually been active here and I know there is a few people awaiting replies and such and I am truly sorry for the wait. I know that the people in this AU are active again and I want to join in on the shenanigans but ... I kinda don't have the muse to.

On Friday, I found out that one my closest friends passed away and that hit me hard. ... I don't mind doing a few skype rps but as far as tumblr rping goes ... eh, I'm kinda just really sad right now.

Consider this a hiatus of some sorts? I guess you could. Until I can start to get over this.

... again I am so sorry. ;; ))

As the other robot came hurdling toward him, Snakeman decided to dodge the shield— and then attempt to yank it out of Blues’ grasp, keeping his buster aimed at him.

He fired off another Search Snake, aiming for Blues’ stomach area.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— So Snake Man was attempting to yank the shield out of Blues's hand? The older robot kept a very tight grip before deciding it would be in his best interest to let go of the shield as another Search Snake was shot around his stomach area. Blues gave a mighty push before trying to dodge the Search Snake. It barely misses, but taking off some skin and scratching the inner workings of his sides. But he grunted as the Search Snake barely missed, but aimed his buster, he charged enough energy at his own shield as Snake Man was holding it, give him enough force to hopefully send him flying into a wall. His shield would take major damage but it wouldn't break THAT easily.

[take-a-bite-make-a-mark-blog]

Snakeman frowned as it seemed that his statement didn’t garner a reaction from the DLN. Then again, Snake couldn’t recall a time where Protoman had showed much emotion, at least from the few times he had seen him.

"Hmph." That was all he said in reference to that.

" … If that is true, then I shall gather her remains. Right after I turn you into scrap metal!"

"You can try, but you won’t succeed!" He sneered, jumping out of the way of the shot and firing off a Search Snake at Protoman.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— The Search Snake managed to latch it's self on Blues's leg as he was in mid-air. It hurt like hell as it was gnawing on him but Blues needed to think of some way to land a hit on the other Robot Master. Ignoring the pain as much as possible, Blues pulls his shield in front of him as he went diving down towards Snake Man. Blues was actually counting on him block the shield as he would shoot at him once more.

[take-a-bite-make-a-mark-blog]

Snakeman raised an eyebrow. “How did you find that out so quickly, I wonder?” It then occurred to him that a total of two other people knew about what he had done…Or the gist of if, anyway.

"Elecman and Megaman told you, didn’t they? I recall that you’re Megaman and Roll’s estranged brother. How funny." His grin widened. "Why choose now of all times to start caring so much?"

He wasn’t exactly dodging around what Protoman had asked…Well, he was, but just for the sake of bugging the other robot. He didn’t seem intimidated in the slightest as Protoman stared him down— he was used to such looks, though there was more venom surrounding this one. He changed his hand into a buster, seeing as how Protoman didn’t seem all that likely to stand down at this point.

"I’ll give you a hint." He said abruptly, referencing back to Protoman’s question. "She’s shut down where I’ve hidden her." His grin cracked into a smirk— oh, giving Protoman a hint wouldn’t be any fun, so Snake outright said it.

"She’s dead."

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— .Blues continued to keep his eyes locked onto the Wilybot as he spoke.

"I recall that you’re Megaman and Roll’s estranged brother. How funny."

.. How on Earth did this deranged robot know about that? Either he was really good or he has somehow entered the Lights Labs database with no problem at all. That wasn't important though ... the other robot start speaking. Oh what he said got worse and worse with every detail. Then the last detail was rather blunt. You can tell it because Blues has an expression status of a brick wall mostly, if not all the time but you got his his attention Snake Man. In a very negative way mind you but he seems like the type to want a reaction from him. He wasn't going to give him that satisfaction. Especially if he didn't know if it was true or not. He hoped not.

" ... If that is true, then I shall gather her remains. Right after I turn you into scrap metal!"

Then Blues makes a dash for the other robot, leaping up into the air and shooting another shot from his Proto Buster at Snake Man!

[take-a-bite-make-a-mark-blog]

(Yeah, seems like it. Is that alright?)

[prototypedshield]

((Of course!! ouo ))

[prototypedshield]

(( Yeah, I didn't flake out or anything but due to different 'sub plots' going on in the 'Rescue Roll' rps, I just thought it would be best to sit back and let things simmer down before continuing on.

But what everyone else agreed with is that Hero!Elec AND Roll need to be saved because Rock more than likely will have to retreat/lose/something along those lines. So that means it's all up to Proto to save the day? uwu;  ))

[prototypedshield]

((Here's to me, hoping that I can stay awake long enough to rp this fight between Snake Man and Blues haaaaah ................ ;; ))

[take-a-bite-make-a-mark-blog]

Snakeman hadn’t quite expected to be shot at— and so he abruptly ducked under the shot, a look of surprise on his face.

”!!”

His look of shock didn’t last long, though, and just as soon as it was on his face it left. Standing back up quickly, he was now on guard, defensive. He grinned slightly. “What’s with shooting at me, hm? Did I anger you in some way?” He genuinely didn’t understand why Protoman had shot at him— granted it could have been for numerous reasons, but he didn’t really care much for why— rather, he cared for ensuring that he wouldn’t get a blast to the face. It was in his nature, however, to taunt others— whether it be through his tone or otherwise.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— "Don't act so ignorant. I know you have Roll, Snake Man. Where is she?"

Blues still had his Proto Buster aimed at him as he eyed him down from his visors, much like a wolf would do its prey. You couldn't see his eyes due to his visors but he was sending you a venomous glare, Snake Man.

[hedgehoghammer]

{ ❤ } — “…’Search and destroy’, huh?” 

Amy frowns, looking rather concerned. Was someone in danger because of the target or something? Probably! She knows this probably isn’t the Blues she knows — He would’ve recognized her by now, surely — but Amy feels she ought to try and help him out. After all, he wouldn’t attack someone without a cause…

"Y’know, you’d think instead of brushing me off like that you’d ask me whether I’ve seen the target in question. Who’re you looking for? Describe them to me. I might have seen ‘em running around earlier!"

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— "Honestly, I wouldn't think you that you would even know anyone from my world ... seeing you're ... not exactly from there."

Blues made a noise that was close to him clearing his throat, but sounded very stimulated.

" ... But if you think you can help me then, have you seen a humanoid-ish robot by the name of 'Snake Man'? From what I am told, he looks like what his name suggests. Or at least based on it."

[take-a-bite-make-a-mark-blog]

"Ah, Protoman. Still haven’t gotten that core of yours fixed?" He asked with a grin. Protoman may have been on Wily’s side for the most part during his third attempt at world domination, but he was still a DLN. Snake wasn’t going to be kind to him.

[prototypedshield]

{⊗};— "Perhaps and perhaps not. Since I see you already know who I am and I've taken a educated guess who you obviously are, then we can skip the formalities."

Blues then grabs his shield, transforms his hand into the Proto Buster and quickly aims it at reptile themed Robot Master, letting off a shot towards his direction!

[prototypedshield]

5 bucks says roll's being reprogrammed by wily as we speak :D

{⊗};— Then Blues whips out his Proto Buster and shoots at the anon to scare it off, before walk away from it. He has no time for your nonsense anon.
