"So what are you telling us?", Shade Man spat viciously.
"I'm telling you," ,Flash Man replied, "That there's nothing we can do about it."
"But we have the Particle Cannon! We should be able to make short work of them!", Quick Man replied desperately.
"Listen guys. Wily told me that we can't use the cannon, he has sent someone here to destroy Mega Man. We have to keep the space lanes clear. So, no firing the cannon!", Knight Man retorted.
"That makes absolutely no sense! If we aim it away from the Earth, there should be no danger of hitting him!", Quick Man attempted. Flash Man put up his hands, "I know. It seems like the logical thing to do would be to shoot them all down, but we don't have that kind of power, and the cannon cannot fire with the level of speed needed to hit them all."
"I want to point out that there is no atmosphere on the moon!", Quick Man protested.
"Thanks alot Doctor Science!", Shade Man scowled.
"Don't you get it? The moon doesn't exactly look like a round smooth ball, there are more crater impacts here than in Guts Man's Armor! (A private joke..this after seeing Guts Man's remains) "He's right,", Flash Man replied, "If those Meteor chunks come even close to us, some of them might hit the moon. We could be anywhere from completely obliterated to totally unaffected!"
"That's really specific. Thanks!", Shade Man cut in again.
"Listen. If we close down the cannon, and put all power into the energy shield we should be able to stand to worst of it.", Flash Man offered.
"Yeah, from what I saw the largest one is no bigger than a tanker truck, we could withstand a hit like that.",Knight Man put in. Flash Man quickly corrected him. "The shields would fail with anything over the size of a hovercar. No, we can't risk it. Quick Man, you power up the auxillary swivel gun batteries. Get some tech bots down there to man the guns. Shade Man, go to the control center, and keep an eye out for Dr. Wily's visitor. You can also watch the Meteor shower from thier, and power up the cannon if it comes down to it.", Flash Man ran off the orders. "Knight Man and Myself are going to the Power Core to Modify the shields. We need as much energy output fed to the shields as we can muster. Okay everyone, let's get to it!"
The four of them were in a conference room inside Base-W. The forecast calls for a chance of incoming meteors, in many different sizes, all headed towards Earth. Some may bombard the moon, and add more craters to scar the landscape, but Wily prepared them for such an instance. He installed an energy shield. Unfortunately, the Shuttle Zero is piloting is directly in the path of the storm. Can it survive the incoming wave of meteors? Or will he have to turn back?
However--don't expect the Earth to be in danger! These incoming projectiles are no match for the Atmosphereic heat, and friction! But Base-W is left exposed to the Harsh environs of space. Keep it here to find out what happens next! (to be continued)
