ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤIt's a rare occasions where he feels safe enough to keep all his armor off, going on a simple groceries run for his dad. Walking back home, he can't help but notice someone looking... familiar.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe doesn't mean to stare, really, but it's hard not to notice...

「 Oh, n-no, you're fine! I was just making sure you were alright. 」
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤLight sensitive... and with that body? Who made her..?
「 Uhm, what /are/ you doing..? Asking out of curiosity... 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe simply watches Compass Man leave.
「 ..I hope you do. 」

「 I don't think you will. As long as there's people to fight for, I'll be here. 」
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ..as long as there's people to fight for indeed.

「 I don't think you will. As long as there's people to fight for, I'll be here. 」

「 Yes, it is. Let this be your /warning,/ Compass Man. If you try anything, I'll stop you. 」

「 That's a compliment, coming from a bot like you! 」
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe stares Compass Man down for a few seconds, before his colors change again. Turning two shades of gray, he lunges forward, buster aimed to slash with wind!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAnd it works! He rolls on the ground, colors switching back to the iconic blues as he falls into the ring— which knocks him to the ground.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBut he doesn't stay there, quickly shooting at the eye again.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWhen an enemy tells him to do something, his first thought is to do the opposite. His colors shift to gray and orange, quickly spinning away from the other's top half.
「 You'll have to catch me! 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBut he's done this before. He knows right where Compass' weak point is.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤSo he ducks, sinking to his knees as he lets Compass' top half soar above him.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe gets kicked, but it doesn't move him much. Not with this position.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAnd then, he starts firing at the eye.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤIt really doesn't take him long to find her, especially with the bright glow.
「 O-Oh, ma'am, hello! What are you doing out so late..? 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤNight patrols are always an important part of a hero's job, as villains like to work under the cloak of darkness.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBut, as his scanner goes off with an unidentified signal, he knows not everyone out this late is up to no good.

ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAlright then, nevermind! He jumps back, closer to the field, before finally shooting.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThe blasts are weaker than Compass Man remembers, but he doesn't miss this time. He's a lot more focused.
「 I wasn't planning to! 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThat's his cue to pick up the pace! Still moving backward, they hit the edge of the city, concrete giving way to a field. Right before a forest.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThere's an idea right there... but he can't turn his back to Compass Man.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThat's... not what happened. Unless he means the version of Rock from the future, in which...
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHis buster starts to shake for real. Keep going backward, Rock. You've got this.
「 But I still fended you off. 」

「 F-First..? 」
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤOh, right... but if Rockman-Shadow was dead, why did..?
「 You're not taking this time period! I fended you off before, I'll do it again..! 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe raises his buster, the arm it's on jittering unnaturally as he continues to back up.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThey're not far from city limits... he just has to put up the front for long enough.
「 Y-You don't scare me! Y-You're just the second in command, after all! 」
