Summary

“What will you call… all of this?” Zero inquired, gesturing at all of the boxes filled to the brim with chips.
Dr. Wily paused for a moment, his smile fading. Only for his sinister grin to come back with full force, along with fire in his eyes.
“I think I’ll call it… Irregular Fever.”
It had been over a year since Bass became friends with Rock. And together, along with Blues, Roll, and Kalinka, the five of them shared many moments of laughter, tears, fears, and comfort. And Bass learned what it meant to love and how to care for others thanks to his newfound friendships. Now, Bass is taking every moment one step at a time, refusing to let life move past him for even the slightest second.
But nothing good can last forever.
When a new threat arises, one that none of them could have expected, our five friends find themselves being thrust into a world of chaos, one that they thought they had left behind for good.
Will Bass and the others overcome this new challenge, all while staying together and emerging unscathed? Or will this cumbersome task become impossible to defeat, to the point where it destroys everything that they know and love?

Summary

All it took was one decision, one train of thought, to alter the reality they now lived in. The fates of the two doctors were as thin as a coin, and this time, Dr. Wily was Heads, while Dr. Light was Tails. Their hearts were the same, but their lives had been changed. Now, their decisions have echoed down to their artificial children, with Bass being the bright, heroic sun that shines down on Mega City and those who live in it – while Mega Man is the midnight shadow that covers the city in darkness, only generously providing moonlight to those he deems as worthy.
As Bass takes the role of the protagonist, he'll have to learn what it means to be a hero by setting his ego aside while protecting the ones he loves, and ultimately, the whole world from the evil Dr. Light and his quest for world domination. Will Bass be able complete such a task? Or will he die trying to be the one thing that he was never meant to be?

Summary

Wait a minute, wait a minute–” Bass started. “I gotta stay here, for at least two days?!”
“That’s what it looks like.”
Bass let out a loud groan and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Are you kidding me…?”
“On the bright side, you get to hang out with me!”
Bass’ face turned bright red as he slowly looked up at Roll, who had the most innocent look on her face. “What did you just say…?”
He knew what she said. He just wanted verbal confirmation.
“Nothing!” She smiled, then started to walk off to a different part of the lab.
Bass finds himself under the care of Roll Light when a fight with his rival, Mega Man, ends in complete disaster, thanks to Bass' buster jamming right before he was about to deal the final blow. Now, Bass has to survive three days at Light Labs, while constantly being around the person he can hardly bear to look in the eye, for more reasons than one. Will he be able to face his feelings while he's there? While also confronting a bitter question that stands between the two of them: his reason for fighting Mega Man?
Or will he just - not do any of that, and continue to act stubborn...?

But then, Wily quickly reached into his pocket, and put the object against the Blue Bomber’s head…
Wily had pulled out the blicky.
The public has had enough of Dr. Wily and his shenanigans. The people of Mega City want change, and they want it now, and they’re planning to bring their concerns to the government. Unwilling to go back to prison, Dr. Wily has to come up with a plan to get into the good graces of the public. Fortunately, the plan he creates is a fairly simple, yet effective one. And it involves the Blue Bomber, the public, and a glock. Will Wily be able to pull off the ultimate publicity stunt, while still getting what he wants? Or will his plan crumble right before his eyes just like his other schemes?
