Welcome to Gaia! ::

Having a magnetic personality had it's drawbacks. Being restricted to certain floors in Wily's grand tower, having a lower level room, and constantly having issues in the robo wash were a few. Although the fact that the personality also came with an actual computer disrupting magnetic field could have something to do with it.

Despite his room being much nearer the ground floor, Magnet hung out on the upper unrestricted levels as often as possible. Earlier, he'd ventured up to the training room, hoping to catch one of the other masters in the mood to spar. Finding no one there, he decided to hang around and wait for someone to show up. Maybe he'd even ambush them! That could be fun! He'd used a magnetic field to float up and stick to the ceiling, then sat back to wait.

A noise below jolted Magnet from his sleep. He hadn't even realized he nodded off. Alert now, he peered at the floor below to see who had just come in. A grin split his maw beneath the mask. Protoman! Now this was going to be fun! Waiting till the audio had fully entered the room, he dropped down behind his general. "Well it's about time someone showed up."

Magnet's eyes widened a second before Proto's fist connected with his face. Stumbling back, he cast a glare at the general and rubbed his masked jaw. Well he wanted a tussle, it looked like he was going to get it. With an annoyed flick of his tail at having the drop gotten on him rather than the other way around, he launched his own swing at his companion's face.

Magnet moved to dodge the fist but was thrown off balance as the shield shoved him back into the line of fire. "URK!" Shaking off the second blow, the bot snarled, tired of this little game. He was done playing fair. His eyes locked on Proto's shield, a smile slowly forming beneath his mask. Calling on his abilities, he sent out a blast barely visible to the naked eye. The air warped slightly as the wave struck the general's shield, magnetizing it. This was about to get very entertaining.

Magnet let out a loud bark of laughter. "Looks like your shield finds you very attractive eh, Proto?" Laughing again at his own joke, he gave the general and his shield a hard kick towards the wall. It was so considerate of the construction workers who made this tower to give it a metal skeleton.

Magnet yawned and sauntered over to lean on the wall next to the struggling general. "Hmm....naaah. Not feeling it right now, herr general. You know it's kind of lonely way down there on the fifth floor, I don't get to have these little chats often. Perhaps if my room was a bit closer to the top...." he trailed off, casting a meaningful glance at Proto.

Magnet seemed to ponder Proto's polite request a moment before shoving off the wall. "You know, I just remembered somewhere I have to be. Let's chat about this later, hmm?" Maybe the general would be a little more willing to negotiate when he was running low on energy. A few hours of struggling should do the trick.

Ignoring his general's pleas, Magnet strutted from the room. Even if someone set Proto free in his absence, he'd made his point. Maybe next time he asked for a room up top, the general would think twice about his answer.

A few hours later, Magnet stopped by the training room once more. Since Proto hadn't hunted him down yet, he was curious to see if his captive was still there. The robot master strolled back into the room carrying two e-tank cans. Spotting the general still doing his best impression of a turtle, he couldn't help but grin. "Looks like some masters are slacking on their training, eh?"
