The Blue Bomber's First Victory

[Post Mission, Rock is one of the things needing repair. Fortunately, Dr. Light comes back to the base with him to take care of it personally, and it isn't too long before his arm is reattached and everything else is patched up.

Rock sighs, testing his newly repaired arm out.]

That was pretty wild... I'm glad everything turned out okay in the end. We cut it a bit close there.

[Though he's a bit worried. Dr. Wily had gotten away after all, and who knew what he was going to do next.]

[Rock's not the only robot who came back to the base. The other Light Numbers are also here and they're all gathered together in the hanger, talking to Rock, who's now out of armor. There's another robot with them too. One who looks like a young girl with a blond ponytail tied with a green bow.]

Why did he turn against humanity, now? Or rather, why does he want to conquer it?

...

Sorry for asking such hard questions, Rock-kun. And after what you've been through, recently.

[Rock looks up at Setsuko and smiles reassuringly.] No, it's okay Miss Setsuko. I understand.

I'm not sure why he'd do something like this. I think he and Dr. Light might have had some kind of disagreement before he disappeared, but I don't know what it was about. Dr. Light doesn't like talking about it.

[It may or may not have had something to do with a certain prototype robot master, but Rock doesn't know that one even exists yet, and since Rock never actually finds out Blues was his brother in this continuity... Yeah.]

I'm sorry I can't tell you more than that Miss Setsuko. You could try asking Dr. Light about it. He'd probably have a better idea.

[star_of_sad]

Could it be because of personal dislike? No... there is no need to guess blindly regarding motives. I'll try talking to dr Light - if none of the Unity Group commanders did, already.

So...

[Setsuko glances at Rock. The armor, the buster cannon...]

What are you going to do now?

[believesinhumanity]

[Rock looks down at himself and frowns. That's a pretty good question. He hadn't really thought about what would happen after he'd saved his brothers. It wasn't like he could just go back to being a lab assistant now, right?]

... Dr. Wily got away, and there were those other robots he built. And even without all that, it's a bit too late to turn back now. I don't think I'd be able to just go back to only helping out in the hanger or Dr. Light's lab if I've got the power to help out in other ways.

[star_of_sad]

I saw what you're able of doing. Others would love to have your help, I'm sure.
