X-P0N3 once more took the mike as she floated around the ring on Item 2. "We're about to start the second round, folks!" she called out happily. "Now, who wants to meet the next competitors?" The cheers she received in response were deafening. "Alright! First up, the Sultan of Saute, the Fuehrer of Fire, the Master of iMmolation...Flame Man!"
The audience cheered as X-P0N3 approached the competitor. The Robot Master was bright red, yellow, and black, his body design reminiscent of an Arabian Djinn, complete with upward pointing boot tips, turban, and green gem embedded in his forehead. His face was more a war mask than anything, with only the area around his blue eyes looking even remotely human. His left arm was a flamethrower, connected to a fuel tank on his back by a hose. "So, anything you have to say to the audience before we begin?" Reaching out, she rested her hoof on his hand.
"Don't touch me!" he shrieked out, leaping backwards. Turning his flamethrower arm on his own hand, he gave it a quick gout of flame. "No germs, no people, keep distance, no touchy..."
As the audience either laughed or was silent, X-P0N3 floated away. "Huh. O...kay then." She then made her way around to the other competitor, a Robot Master built to look almost fully human and female, big blonde hair that was actually a helmet, pearl white skin, and black armor plates that resembled a black leather jacket and pants. Her feet ended in heels. "Now who's this bombshell, hmm?"
The Robot Master struck a sensual pose. "Name's Boom Woman," she purred, her voice designed to be alluring. "And I'm going to give you all quite a show." This statement received a vast number of wolf whistles from the audience, followed by a concerted slap of all the women striking their male companions' cheeks simultaneously. Boom Woman merely chuckled. "I intend to take this tournament, and a place at Mega Man's side, and let him teach me everything about being a...hero." She looked up at where Mega Man was watching the match, licking her lips.
"Uhh...I need an adult," Mega Man whimpered, his voice audible to the whole arena due to the microphone right in front of him.
"Oh yes you do!" Boom Woman purred in response, striking another sensual pose.
X-P0N3 stared at Boom Woman flat-eyed. "Your maker is either a very evil woman or a very naughty boy," she stated bluntly, "and I don't really care which."
"Actually, I was inspired by some of the Wub Masters, indirectly," Boom Woman purred.
X-P0N3 turned pale. "I feel unclean," she muttered, making sure it wasn't picked up by the mic. Turning Item 2 away from the arena, she zoomed away as the two competitors climbed into the ring, Boom Woman making a point of twisting her body like a pole dancer as she did so.
Mr. X pulled at his collar a bit nervously. "Getting a little hot in here," he muttered, much to the amusement of the audience. "Ready...FIGHT!"
Boom Woman immediately leapt into battle, hydraulic pistons in her legs letting her jump much higher and faster than seemed possible. Coming down towards Flame Man, she spun to deliver a powerful ax kick, only for him to have raced out of the way already.
"No touch! No touch!" Flame Man shouted out as he launched a wave of flame behind him to try and make her keep her distance.
Boom Woman chuckled as she danced back from the flames. "Aw...shy? Don't worry...I'll be gentle. Get ready for a flash!" Gripping the front of her chest armor plate, she pulled it open, revealing massive twin...cannons. Two flash bombs fired out exploding in blinding light.
"AAAHHHH!!!" Flame Man screamed out, rubbing at his eyes. "I can't see! I can't see! Make the dark go away!" He promptly began spewing flame all around him, trying to make light to see by as he hadn't realized the darkness was his optics failing due to flash overload.
Chuckling, Boom Woman aimed her chest at the flames and smoke. "Have a taste of my Boom Bombshells!" she proclaimed happily as she fired large bullet shaped projectiles into the flames. She frowned in irritation when she saw the bullets slamming into the energy barrier rather than hitting her target. Growling, she continued to fire, only to continue to miss. "Well, you seem to be bouncing around...let's see how you handle a bigger boom!" Walking up closer to the flames, she launched out two bombs with short fuses...already burning. "Wait, what-"
A massive explosion rocked the arena. When the smoke cleared, Flame Man stood in the center, a little scorched and waving around his flamethrower arm, even though no flame was coming out. The rest of the arena was scorched black.
"...what just happened?" Mr. X asked, confused.
"I saw it," Mega Man explained, "but we'd best play it back on slow motion for everyone else."
Nodding in agreement, Mr. X played the instant replay.
"As you can see," Mega Man explained as the footage played, "Boom Woman stepped a bit too close to the flames when she fired off her fuse bombs. They were already lit when they came out, and exploded much sooner than she anticipated...and because of the design of her weapons, she'd already generated the next set of bombs inside her. As such, when the explosion hit her while the cannons were still exposed, the blast reached the bombs inside, causing them to detonate inside her, turning her whole body into a grenade. Since Flame Man was still mobile, the blast only knocked him backwards. ...now would somebody please restart his optics?"
"Winner...FLAME MAN!" X-P0N3 called out.
Flame Man froze. "I...I won?" His optics came back online once he stopped running around. "Oh, I can see again!"
Mr. X groaned. "Well, here's hoping future matches will be a bit less comedic folks! Unless of course you're enjoying that! Fill out the survey cards on the seat in front of you and let us know!"
Just asking, would a robotic duplicate of Morrigan from Darkstalkers or Scarlet from Castlevania be less of a giant walking innuendo?
Man, Flame Man was epicly funny, can't wait for the next round.

I'm always a fan of one liners and good quips, but I'd like a little more back and forth in the fight proper.
Okay, Boom Woman seemed like something out of Panty and Stocking... And I loved it. Anticipation for the next fight GROWS INTENSLY!!!
Germaphobe Flame Man is definitely an original and funny concept
6983749 YES IT WOULD
6983749 I was thinking Moxxi from BDLands.
Reference, or spelling error?... Oh, wait, it's supposed to keep the illusion of alliteration.
Now you see, THIS is the sort of thing I'm talking about!... Except, not quite AS disturbing in as MUCH of a fashion, you know?
OK, this is a spelling error.
Thank you very much, this was as entertaining as I expected it to be.
Take care.
damn, I was hoping Boom Woman woman would win just to annoy Mega Man later
See Vinyl, that's why you don't trust Internet people. I think it's funny that the Wub Masters came back to bite her.
I like the fire a great deal, his innocence and desire for distance could be something to build on. Here is hope that he has a future.
Awww. I liked Boom Woman...
Another enjoyable chapter. Great job.
Ni Knight: Made by a guy overly nostalgic for the old Monty Python and The Holy Grail movie. Speaks entirely in quotes from said movie. Deliberately unoriginal. Obsessed with shrubbery, can cut down a tree with a herring.

Submit OCs on the blogs, by the form presented.
Epic Fail on the part of Boom Woman.
Hey, are you still taking suggestions? If so, why not a robot Thor or even Odin?
6984070
On the blogs.
6984060 Thank you..?
BOOOOOO. I wanted Boom Woman to win.
And for Mega.
And i love that the Wub Masters had a backlash.

Why can't we have both?
Well, that was amusing, and I had a really funny thought when you started describing Flame Man. It would be hilarious to give one of the robot masters the personality of the genie from Aladdin.
6984069 Right next to Combustion Man
Hey, I was checking out your story, and it looks like a chapter might be missing? Is there supposed to be a Let's Watch Mega Man: 2-1?

I agree, X-P0N3!

Why not both?

No, there isn't.
6984395 Okay, thanks.
6984407 He's lying~! there was a chapter similarly titled to that, but apparently the Mods didn't like that it was only thirty words.
And so
Dr Sheldon CooperFlame Man will eventually fight Mega Man.This was great!

Need some eventually.
Is it too late to submit fighters? And do we have to fight the Robot Masters? I think a couple of OC v OC fights might be fun, and I honestly have no qualms with the end results of my participant either way. I just wanna see it happen.
A reply would be highly appreciated, but if not I understand.
Well, looks like Grenade Man has a precursor now.

Not too late to submit.
I'm only writing one chapter for each of the canon Robot Masters fighting an OC as their introduction.
Submit it on the related blogs.
6985210
Ok, thank you for the hasty response.
6984772 Why not both?

I kept picturing The Emporer from The Emperor's new groove rather than the description the author gave.
6985535 I had similar thoughts. Now you got me thinking of Flame Man shouting "Boom Baby!" like Kuzco (the Emperor) every time she aimed for him.
Now I'm imagining the wife-line scene where Flame Man ends at Boom Woman, stating, "Let me guess, you have a god personality? Isn't there a worthy challenge here?!"
6985895
if the author decides to edit this chapter I might re-read it just for that!
KILLGOR! Y'know, from teenage robot? It'd be hilarious.
6984039 This post was not a true submission. It was simply a joke.
Poor Flame Man, the guy needs one of those giant bubbles to live in if he's so scared of germs. Boom Woman was... interesting, though hopefully Vinyl has learned her lesson on, shall we say, naughty Robot Master designs and apologizes to Rock for putting him through that.
Incidentally, I have to wonder how Boom Woman would have fared against Plant man, I can see her making Innuendo about his vines and 'pollinating' her.
6987816 You'd think that, but she is too hot for that at the moment.
Good thing, too, since they couldn't make her leaf.
Isn't there an accent in there somewhere?
Poor Megaman, as always.
Aww, poor Boom Woman.
Is a catgirl next?
ALRIGHT!!
7168534
blizzard man was based on a batman and robin villain, so if tats put in a catgirl-like character the batman thing would be overdone.
hahaha and now we Yang from RWBY! this is awesome
My one criticism is that Boom Woman's appearance didn't spark an awkward conversation between Vinyl and Wily about the placement of human mammary glands.
