Behold! the glorious city

[Mega Man]

Mega Man POV

Now in Coruscant for real I marveled at it's technology. Beautiful architecture complimented the signs of advanced robotics powering it. Droids and lifeforms alike moved together treating each other as...equals. Where I came from robots were servants. Few even had the personalities to achieve emotions nor less treated as equals. But here even the simplest robot was treated with dignity. Suddenly I yawned and a warning came up on my visor. Warning! 33% battery! Battery too low for solar charging. Please use a nearby power source to recharge this unit. Looking around I saw a café with what seemed to be a pad on the wall that gave off signs of electricity. I walked inside and saw tables and a lady at the cashier. At first she looked up, but upon realizing I was a robot she looked back down. I placed my hand on the pad and sighed as energy flowed into my body. I changed out of my armor as it drained my power source more than my usual form looking out the window I took in the city and was once again marveled by its sights, and really began to soak it all in....

Mega Man POV

I looked out side the window, now at 50% charge and looked at the white soldiers patrolling the streets they were putting up posters of a guy with green hair and red eyes and below a bounty for 100 OM killed and 350 OM banished. I looked at his charges which were under the bounty.

Killed several bank guards and assaulted a teller. Is stronger than he looks and wont go down easily in a fight

Suddenly raged filled me. Who would do such a thing I looked at my charge which was 60%. I changed into my armor and stepped out of the café. Then it hit me: I have emotions but never that strong. Then I remembered the incident earlier where upon seeing the human white soldiers I wasn't automatically prevented form using weapons systems. Was my coding changing? My chain of thought was broken when I saw a small pile of sand sneaking out of a nearby elevator and into an alleyway. I immediately went and looked inside the elevator. Everyone was unconscious but none were killed. I looked in the alleyway and saw the pile of sand turn moving slowly in the shadow of the buildings, as if it were trying not to be noticed. My life sensors told me the sand was.." A human!" I exclaimed all too quickly. In response the sand started moving more quickly I dropped into a slide and quickly fired well aimed shots. 2 missed but the third one hit dead on. The sand then changed into the fugitive from the wanted poster. I slid again and this time jumped and hit him with my signature uppercut Mega Upper. I jumped grabbed him by the neck and was about to fire into his face when he suddenly whispered, " There were Robots." " Yeah there are robots all over this place just look." I replied starting to charge my buster. "Robots that look just like you on tier 6." he said while trying to get out of my grip. I dropped him and he continued. "If you turn me in I cant take you to them." I heard the sounds of boots scuffling and I knew soldiers were coming to check out the scene. " Change into sand" I calmly whispered.

Narrator POV

The Storm troopers turned into the ally only to find a small blue robot scraping together some litter. one of them tapped it on the shoulder and said "Hey you were heard there was a scuffle here!". The robot looked up and calmly replied. "A scuffle sir? I'm just cleaning up. Even in one of the most advanced cities I've ever seen people still litter. Such a shame." The robot then stooped down and went back to his work. The storm troopers shrugged and went back to their patrol.

Mega Man POV

I waited until the soldiers were gone. I calmly stepped out and turned the corner and found the nearest elevator. Scanning the compartment I found only one security camera. 'If they had a camera in this one they had a camera in the other one. That means there probably searching for him right now.' I looked at the elevator buttons and chose the second to last one. The Last one barely had any fingerprints on it which could mean a lot of things. The one before last had a healthy amount of fingerprints but much less than the one's above. The farther the better I said as the elevator came down to tier 6. I stepped out and opened my storage compartment. Sand poured out and I asked where it saw the robots. It made an arrow and I said "Lead the way."

[Rin Takao]

The arrow of sand started sliding along the grimy pavement after they started going they started seeing horrific crimes such as hardcore drug deals and murders, after they finally walk far enough the got to the Community Center.

[Rin Takao]

Well, you are here now so i'm off, I need to keep a low profile. Bye robot man.

[Mega Man]

Mega Man POV

I pushed open the door to the community center only to find nothing. No robots or people it was empty. I turned around hoping to catch the thief before he could leave but I was too late he was gone from sight. I walked out of the community center sat on the pavement and sighed. I had no contacts, home or family, just this Omnilium stuff. I began to way my options when I heard a scream. Looking around I saw no one respond. The only guy in uniform suddenly straightened and pretended he didn't notice. Not taking time to spare I dashed in the direction it was coming from to see a child standing over his mom, who's face was bloody and had a gunshot hole in her chest. I looked around and saw whoever did this was long gone. I didn't bother to berate myself for being too late because there were more important things at hand. I kneeled down at the woman and my scanners checked for signs of life. She was breathing sharply as if breath was a struggle. The child who couldn't have been more than 8 began crying while slapping the ground. Them most Dr. Light had equipped me with for medical situations was bandages, antiseptic and a mini fold out crutch since Dr. Wily never seemed fond of killing humans and specialized in property destruction. Suddenly the woman reached out and grabbed my arm and said in the most pained voice I ever heard "Take him!". The boy hearing his mother's voice grabbed her hand and cried saying, "Momma don't go!". Then he looked at me and said "Do Something!". Then it hit me, " The Omnilium". I quickly summoned some and began thinking of something useful. I heard the mother's breaths getting more strangled as the seconds ticked while my life scanners said she was on the verge of death. Suddenly she repeated her words "Take Him!" before breathing very sharply and the going slack. I dropped the half molded Omnilium in my hands as I realized I was too late. The boy started crying and then clinged to me. In just a few hours after coming to this strange world I had watched someone die.

I stood there with the kid for an hour while he cried a river. Soon two men and a woman came in a van.  The men grabbed the body and threw it into the van while the woman attempted to pry the kid off my leg. After seeing my armor she assumed i was a prime, gave me a card and told me to call her when he settled down. Then all 3 hopped into their van and sped off. Now I'm in an apartment 3 blocks away the kid had taken the key off his mother's body and led to me where he lived. It wasn't the best structure, with the mold and cracks in the walls, but it had 1 bedroom and a living room with one couch and a functioning TV. After making himself a sandwich from the ingredients in the fridge he told me about how his mom worked in a factory on tier 4 run by a tier 2 businessman trying to take advantage of cheap labor. His mom would sometimes bring home broken parts and he would fix them together (why they had a TV and a fridge). I found out the community center wasn't empty but the place I had entered usually wasn't inhabited due to how close it was to gang life. He also said the Robots I was looking for had gone an adventure and never came back. They left the center soon after due to small life corruption. Due to the fact that they were walking distance from the community center they were usually safe in their home. Or maybe it was because some of the toughest gang leaders in the slum held operation meetings in the upper floors and in exchange for protection against small time thugs their mom cooked meals for the men. After finishing his sandwich he went to the living room picked up a book and made a tick mark on the back cover. A tear welled up in his eye but after seeing me in the room. He sniffled ad continued his explanation. The reason he knew so much about fixing things was because one of the thugs upstairs was a gun and weapon tech smuggler and saw him as a protégé. He said I could probably go to him to get my battery fully charged. I then pointed out the fact he never even told me his name. He told me to call him Ben. He got off the couch and rummaged behind the TV before finding a black metal can. He popped open the lid and showed me some money. The currency was unknown to my database so I asked him how much it was. He said around a 100,000 Imperial Dollars. He said they got most of it when the gang leader came to visit and stayed in the bedroom with his mom for a LONG time. He told me now that I was going to live with him I needed to find a way of making money so they could get the money they needed to move to tier 4. Then he stopped talking went into the bedroom area locked the door and I started hearing more sobs. I went into sleep mode so that more memory could be used for self diagnostics. 30 minutes later I was awoken by a soft knock on the door followed by 2 hard knocks then another soft one. The bedroom door opened and Ben came out and said "Who's there?". The voice at the door responded by saying "Jacques!". At this Ben opened the door and a tall Asian man stood in the door. "The boss wants to see you. Bring the prime."

[Mega Man]

We were escorted up stairs by the Man several of the goons giving a nod to me and a "Hey Kiddo!" To Ben. At the third floor we stopped and the guard knocked on the door to the left. It opened and we walked into a similarly out of shape apartment but with signs of luxury like brand new couches, a cooler and a large wooden table in the center of the living room. A man who looked to be about 5'10" sat in a chair and beckoned us to sit down in one of the chairs around the table. When we sat down he took his seat at the head of the table while telling his guards to move to the door. He then spoke saying, " It's horrible Ben. When I found about the death of Marsha I told none of my men. We all loved her and it would have caused a ruckus." Ben trying to hold back tears gave a curt nod and the man continued. "As a show of my gratitude we will continue to offer you hospitality and protection to honor her services to us. We'll make sure you never go hungry and will always have a roof over your head. If you wish we could obtain the body and bury her at a small funeral service?" Ben shook his head no and said, "I'm sorry sir a funeral would just complicate things.". " Well we'll all honor her in our own way then. She was a lovely women. Now Ben I'll leave you to greave as it's only been a day since the incident but if you need anything that we an get you don't hesitate to ask. At this a guard came from the door and escorted Ben out. I got up to leave too but the man said " No. No. Stay. I would like to talk to you." I sat down and turned to him. He continued saying "Now you see if your going to be watching that boy from now on you'll probably be living here. And if you have any chance of leaving tier 6 permanently you'll need some more money, eh?" After taking my shocked face he continued " Oh I know, Marsha told me about her fund I had no problem with her leaving as long as she came to visit. However Marsha has sadly left us. As if on cue one of the guards signed a cross on his chest. Tomorrow I will announce her departure from life to the members here and my associate. They'll all know by then. But let's get back on topic. I can give you money in exchange for services." After seeing my face go sour he put up his hands and said " Oh no nothing morally wrong per say if that would offend you. You see your the first Prime we have had to come into our home. Someone like you could be useful in getting rid of our meaner, more rowdy to say rivals. You'll be helping the community by stopping gang violence and rug operations while helping us. We'll pay handsomely for it too. Besides all we do is buy/smuggle illegal weapons and sell them to the people who won't use them to make a ruckus. Sometimes we act as spies and hired muscle. Nothing like what our rivals do, they are much worse criminals. Most of our income is generated from legal weapons shops ad restaurants on tiers 4 and 5. Besides the smoother things our in tier 6 the easier it is for us to smuggle weapons and the more money we can give to you. Besides you'll be doing Ben a favor earning the money he needs to live in a better place. So come on would you say yes?" I thought my situation over and came to the conclusion that if I would be making this crime hole a better place while helping Ben move to tier 4. I got up and gave him my hand. "I accept!"

5 hours later

For the fifth time that night I checked my logic processors for a defect. I was going to turn down his offer but something said yes. Did I truly do it for Ben or was I going rogue? Thanks to the gang's tech guy I was fully charged and filled with energy, the last thing I wanted right now. Oh I see why humans sleep now I can't stand being awake with the consciousness Dr. Light installed. AGGGGH!!!!!
 

The next day

 A goon came and asked to see me before Ben awoke. He took me to the boss who made small talk about my old world. Then he got to the point. He said that to make sure my actions can't be traced back to him he wanted me to look like a vigilante. Taking jobs from various people in the name of justice. With this hero act if I was ever captured they wouldn't trace me back to them. However the missions he gave me take priority over the hero act. However to establish it and test my strength he said he wanted me to catch a small time criminal. He held up a poster seemingly new that had a familiar green haired thief on it. However now it was complete with a name, Rin Takao wanted by the empire. 100 OM dead by a prime. $2,500 dead by a secondary and 350 OM banished. He then clapped his hands and a guard opened a safe in the wall and took out a small box. He told me it was a "banishment circle" and it could be used to send a prime to a very secure "jail" of sorts. All I needed to do was defeat him and throw the box at him. He looked at is watch and said you will be assessed by how fast you can complete the assignment while causing the least property damage. He then put on the most unique smirk I've ever seen and said "Starting now! Don't worry Ben is in good hands". At this a guard came and quickly escorted me out, down the stairs and onto the streets.
