Chapter 1: The streets of Neo City

Later, inside 9-Volt's house, at the basement, young Mona and little 9-Volt were in hiding, despite that his parents weren't even home at all. "Okay, this is where we'll be safe for the time being." said Mona. "I'll call your mom right now." Without delay, she dialed 9-Volt's mom's cell number, only to get a message saying that she's at an invasion shelter. "Darn...it looks like we're on our own."

This got 9-Volt worried. "What about my daddy?" he asked. His babysitter replied, "I hope he's okay..."

--------------------

Meanwhile, at a now-ruined house, I - Aaron - got back from my first week of high school as a sophomore only to witness the destruction already laid in its wake. "Mom? Dad? Oh no! My house's been destroyed!" Suddenly, a man, who happened to be my uncle Spring, came to my side. He was a brilliant student and graduate of Dr. Crygor's School for Robotics. "I'm sorry to hear that your parents died..." he said.

"I know...but who did this?"

Professor Spring explained, "Upon that alien monster's revival, he took the lives of the innocent...C'mon, I'm taking you to safety. Shhh...It'll be alright, my nephew. Someone will be worthy of destroying Red Falcon. I believe that there are some descendants of the ancient heroes that banished him centuries ago." I wiped my tears, and looked up to him. "Yes. I believe it..." In the end, he took me to his house for safety reasons.

--------------------

The next day, at a distant city in New York - a city called Neo City, that is -there were two soldiers in the US Army. Their names were Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. The person in charge at the moment was General Rupert. "Good day, gentlemen." he began. "I suppose you're wondering what's going on. Apparently, an alien monster named Red Falcon has risen from his grave, and inflicted mortal damage on hundreds of innocent victims in Diamond City, California. Recently, he sent his brethren to attack us next. Your objective is to free Neo City of his reign!" Bill and Lance saluted and said, "Sir, yes, sir!"

Bill and Lance grabbed their machine guns, and started fighting off the alien robots that attacked Neo City. On their way, they picked up a couple useful power-ups for their guns. Later, they came across a couple fortress walls, each armed with two cannons, and an alien sniper on top. The red core - its weakness - was on the bottom. "Bill, I'll handle the snipers with my Homing Missiles," said Lance, "while you take care of those cannons with your Crash Missiles!"

"Got it, Lance!" Bill acknowledged. In just seconds, the twosome were able to gun down the sniper, blow up the cannons, and take out the red core at the bottom, bringing down the fortress wall to rubble. The Contra guys moved on again, dodging enemy shots, grenades, and destroying unmanned turrets. They then came across the broken pipes that shot out fire from underneath. They jumped over the flames, and took out a riot tank that came out of a collapsed building. After that, an alien android jumped out of the tank, and introduced himself as Blaze Bomber.

"How dare you destroy my tank?" he yelled. "You two should know that I am not to be messed with! I am Blaze Bomber, the pyro-maniac of the Hate Bombers! Mweh heh heh...say hello to my Molotov cocktails!" He pulled out some beer bottles with flames inside - the Molotov cocktails - and continued, "Burn in hell, losers! Our boss Red Falcon doesn't deserve to be interrupted by rude Earthers like you!" Without hesitation, the red armor-clad android fought the Contra guys, while throwing his Molotov cocktails around like crazy, setting off flames. Meanwhile, Bill and Lance warned each other not to get shot while having a power-up with them, otherwise they'll have to kiss it goodbye. Blaze Bomber, on the other hand, was more than willing to make it happen by clapping his hands, and rubbing them hard enough to form a five-star-shaped fire - the Fire Blast. He threw it at them, but luckily, they were able to avoid a fiery death by going prone. Eventually, they took him down...for now.

"This isn't over yet...it's only the beginning!" said Blaze Bomber. "We shall meet again, Bill and Lance!" He used his flame powers to fly off like a jet, and Bill and Lance were free to move on again; they jumped onto the two platforms above the ground. A warplane suddenly flew by, and dropped two napalm bombs on the ground, setting it on fire. Despite all that, the Contra guys moved and jumped on, avoiding the flames as they traversed through via the monkey bars. Later, the flames died down, and a giant alien tortoise, known as Slave Beast Taka, busted through a wall. "Whoa!" exclaimed Bill. "That thing's giant...and ugly!"

Lance nodded, and said, "And I'll bet he doesn't look friendly..." Before he could finish, Slave Beast Taka lunged at him with his stretching neck, taking away his Homing Missiles upgrade. "Damn! I lost my power-up!"

"I still have mine." said Bill. "I'll take out the nest that's sending out these wasps!"

And so, Bill shot the nest with his Crash Missiles, destroying it. Meanwhile, Lance was shooting at the alien tortoise's heart with his machine gun, while avoiding the stray shots coming out of the heart. Slave Beast Taka then opened his maw, and charged up for an energy breath. Lance went prone, while Bill got caught by the blast, causing him to lose his power-up. Lance ran to his side, and said, "Bill! Are you alright?"

Bill nodded. "I'm okay. That monster's breath attack didn't hurt me too bad."

Slave Beast Taka extended his neck once more, but Bill and Lance had had enough. They pumped lead into his heart some more, until it burst to nothing but guts. The alien tortoise roared in agony, and dropped to the ground in defeat. "The alien tortoise's dead, and Neo City is safe once more!" cheered Bill. He and Lance may have saved Neo City, but they still don't know who the Hate Bombers were, nor where Blaze Bomber had escaped to.
