Bass woke to find himself on the floor, laid down, face first, with a sheet of paper in one hand and a pen in the other. Bass quickly woke up and began to read what he wrote.
ObsErvati0ns:
-Was taken to Modern Mansion for some convention
-Lured downstairs when weak on power
-Experienced Sabotage
-Treated like a son by creator
-Not exhibited at the convention
The rest had become unreadable scribbles.
Bass the discovered that it was around eight o'clock in the morning. The robot discovered that Rhythm had already gotten up and gone off somewhere.
Bass began making his way to the workshop and in transit discovered that Megaman had already arrived and he had an E-tank in his hand and satchel on his shoulder.
"Hello there Bass" the robot spoke as he gave Bass the drink.
Bass quickly consumed the contents and threw container away "Did I miss anything?"
"Nope, the three of us were just waiting for you to wake up"

The two traveled to the workshop where Roll was conversing with Rhythm and Dr. Wily was removing Rhythm's arm.
"Hello boys, are we ready to repair?" Dr. Wily asked.
"Hello boys, are we ready to repair?" Dr. Wily asked.
The four immediately got to work and began reattaching Rhythm's arm.
"No break after were done with this. We need to check on the head and the other arm today" Dr. Wily explained.
"No break after were done with this. We need to check on the head and the other arm today" Dr. Wily explained.
My...my head?
"Are we sure that's safe?" Bass inquired "If we remove the head, he can't hear anything. If he can't hear anything he'll panic!"
"Don't worry, I've got a solution" Dr. Wily spoke as he momentarily walked away.
"What's he getting?" Megaman inquired.
The solution turned out to be a Met with it's feet removed and wires jutting out from the bottom.
The robots just stared at the doctor dumfounded.
"That's going to be his temporary head?" Roll asked.
"Unless any of you want to give up your own?" Dr. Wily suggested.
It's fine, just make the attachment quick.
"Lets just finish installing your arm first"
Dr. Wily and Bass connected the arm and when the installation was complete he got up and tried his new arm.
"How does it feel?" Megaman inquired.
It feels wonderful.
Rhythm's smile turned into an expression of concern as he remembered that the next piece to be worked on was his head.
Do you have to take my head off?
Megaman placed his hand on Rhythm's shoulder "We have to if we want to repair it. Don't worry, we'll attach the temporary one quickly"
Rhythm sighed as he laid down on the table and closed his eyes.
"Okay," Dr. Wily began "Once the head loses all contact with the system, the sensory programming will be shut down and make the electronic brain experience silence. I am afraid that if he experiences silence, his system won't charge even if auxiliary power is connected. We have to do this quickly and carefully"
The four repairers prepared their tools for instant operation. The scientist slowly removed the head from the torso and the many wires that attached to the rest of the robot were exposed.
"I'll need the wire strippers, electrical tape, and the Met on standby" The scientist spoke as he put on gloves to prevent electric shock. Megaman held the stripper, Bass held the tape, and Roll held the head while she read the tablet screen.The tension rose as Dr. Wily cut the connections from the less necessary connections, like facial movement and sight. Dr. Wily then put on some white noise.
"Rhythm, can you hear me still?"
Yes
"Okay, there are two sets of wires left. I'm going to cut the sound sensors first, this will result in you entering into your distress mode. I will then disconnect the power from your head entirely. We can see your mental status on the tablet so don't think that we can't hear you because you can't hear us. When we restore your power, we many need a breather so when you come back you will hear the white noise. Understand?
I understand.
"Okay, you will hear us in a little bit"
Dr. Wily cut the wires and the tablet began to relay text.
Please be quick, I don't want to power down!

"That's why I wore the gloves" Dr. Wily replied.

"Okay, I got the wires stripped. I need the tape and the head"
Bass gave the scientist the tape and began to connect the power cables to the head.

"What's taking so long!?" Bass shouted.

Dr. Wily collapsed in the floor in relief after completing the final connection. Megaman and Roll stared at Bass as the son of Wily realized what he said.
"Your...brother?" Roll asked.
"Roll, you reconnect the other wires" Megaman began "I need to talk with Bass"

Megaman and Bass left the workshop as Roll began connecting the wires. Megaman wore a stern expression while Bass was worried as the two made their way to the living room.
"Bass..." Megaman began "What you just said...I know it isn't true that he's your brother, but do you treat him as one?"
Bass sighed "Megaman, when it has come to my previous siblings my time with them has been brief. I know them for a fleeting period and circumstance comes and they are...you know"
Megaman looked at the ground "I know. But this robot, you've rescued him and now you treat him as if he were your own. Why is that?"
Bass raised Megaman's head "I don't want him to leave me. He's opened my eyes, he's talked with me, we've shared things. I've found him and he's become my responsibility. I want a sibling to care for, like you with Roll. He lost his creator, so he's the only one to carry out his maker's legacy. I doubt that after we're done mending him that he'll be ready to live on his own"
"And YOU want to take care of him?"
"It would be a break from the monotony, and you would know all about that!"
Bass sat down on one of the couches and Megaman did the same.

Bass sat down on one of the couches and Megaman did the same.
"It's a freaking Romeo & Juliet situation right here. Two people who despise each other because their parents hate each other"
"If it weren't for Rhythm, I'd bet that one of us would be nothing but scrap metal"
Bass left for a moment and returned with a pair of E-tanks.
"I just want to know what Dr. Light is going to do once he finds out" Bass asked.
"What do you mean? Can't we say that Dr. Wily made a brother for you?"
"You gave us Dr. Light's parts! If you say that you worked on an independent project with no results and that I got a brother, he'll be able to put two and two together!"
Megaman sighed "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it"
Bass took a sip of his E-tank and turned to Megaman.
"I must ask you. Would you commit a crime?"
Megaman smiled "This adventure into rebellion is enough for me...for now at least"
