The Beginning (It starts as an ordinary, quiet day at Kennedy International Airport. Suddenly, an explosion is heard as the walls of the airport collapse.) VOICE: It's Wily's robots! (Gutsman, Cutman, Bombman, Elecman and Fireman begin tearing up the airport. As they do so, a strange hovercraft with a skull-shaped design on the front and a large "W" on its side flies overhead. It's Dr. Wily's Skullcar.) DR WILY: Take the airport and take out the robots! Let nothing stand in your way! (Turns to Protoman at his side) My plan is going perfectly, Protoman. Once the airport is mine, I'll control the city! Muahahahaha!!! (Wily's robots continue their assault on the airport, destroying any emergency vehicles approaching.) DR WILY: They called me crazy; insane; mad! Well, I'll show them... (Two men try to flee the airport in a helicopter. Cutman slices the rotors off, grounding the aircraft. One of the men picks up a microphone) CAPTAIN: This is Captain Lee! Kennedy International Airport is under attack by Wily's robots! We need help immediately! Calling Megaman! We're calling Megaman! Please help us! (At Dr. Light's lab...) MEGAMAN: Looks like Dr. Wily and slime-buckets are at it again. DR LIGHT: And to think, we used to work together. They must be stopped, Megaman! MEGAMAN: Right, I'm outta' here! ROLL: Yeah, we're outta' here! MEGAMAN: Woah! Where are you going? ROLL: With you! MEGAMAN: Not a chance fancy-pants. I don't need any girl robots getting in my way! ROLL: You mean you don't want a girl robot showing you up... MEGAMAN: Tch. Forget it, Roll. It's too dangerous. (whistles to Rush) C'mon, Rush. Into action! (Rush morphs into his jet form. As Megaman hops on, Eddie runs up to him) EDDIE: Hey, don't forget your energy cans, Megaman! (Eddie throws an energy canister over to Megaman) MEGAMAN: Thanks, Eddie. (drinks the contents.) Okay, let's jet out of here! (Flys away) DR LIGHT: Hurry, Megaman! Dr. Wily's robots are taking over the control tower! ROLL: (muttering to Dot, a Metool) Mega's going to need my help whether he needs it or not! Men are all the same...even the robots! (hops onto a hovercraft with Dot) Hang on, Dot! We're going full throttle! (Flys toward the airport. Meanwhile, Megaman has already arrived at the airport. Protoman notices his approach.) PROTOMAN: Megaman! The blue bomber... DR WILY: I hate Megaman. He ruins everything! (Talks into his speaker) Attention all robots! Destroy Megaman!! (Bombman tosses a Hyper Bomb at Megaman) MEGAMAN: Try these on for size! (Fires a buster shot that destroys the bomb and sends Bombman flying into the wall) A perfect fit. Mind if I borrow this? (Copies the Hyper Bomb) BOMBMAN: Oh...Now you've got my weapon! (Runs away, but gets blown to pieces with a Hyper Bomb before he can get away) DR WILY: Why can't we stop that blue dweeb?! PROTOMAN: Maybe you should plant some more brain chips into your robots, Dr. Wily. DR WILY: Now I'll have to rebuild Bombman again...(pulls Bombman's parts into the Skullcar) I'll blast Megaman to pieces! (Wily reaches for the firing mechanism for the Skullcar's cannons. Protoman smashes the device) PROTOMAN: NO!! I must destroy Megaman! He's MY brother! DR WILY: You remember I built you, Protoman! And you will obey me. PROTOMAN: You're right, Dr. Wily. I'll obey you...when I want to. (leaps out of the Skullcar) DR WILY: Why didn't I plant some humble chips into that boy? (Protoman confronts Megaman) PROTOMAN: Let's see how fancy your powers are against ME, mega-jerk! MEGAMAN: I'm as good or better than you, Protoman! PROTOMAN: We'll see about that! (As Megaman and Protoman are fighting, Roll arrives at the airport. She confronts Fireman) ROLL: Oh, no you don't hot-stuff! (Rips Fireman apart with her vaccum arm) I'd say he really went to pieces! C'mon, Dot! This is easy! GUTSMAN: (Notices Roll) Cutman! Let's crush her! CUTMAN: With pleasure, Gutsman! Hehehee!! (Cutman slices a monorail car off its track, which Gutsman catches) ROLL: Leaping transisters!! (Gutsman throws the monorail car at Roll. Megaman sees this, runs over, and shoves Roll out of the way. He then points his arm cannon at the car and tries to fire, but it doesn't) MEGAMAN: Oh, no! I'm out of power! (The monorail car falls on Megaman) DR WILY: Yes! Yes! YES!! Megaman's crushed, like a rose petal! (Wily's robots continue wrecking the airport, while Roll runs over to the wreckage) ROLL: We need help! Where's Dot? (Dot pulls Megaman out of the debris) We've got to get Megaman back to Dr. Light. (Dot sprouts a stretcher from its head. Roll puts Megaman on the stretcher, and Rush flys back to Dr. Light's lab with it. Roll follows in her hovercraft. Meanwhile, Wily continues to gloat...) DR WILY: Megaman is finished, and the airport is ours! Pwahaha! And with no air transportation, the city will soon come to its knees! CAPTAIN: It's all Dr. Light's fault. If he never invented robots, none of this would ever have happened... (Back to Light's lab, the good doctor is busily working on Megaman) ROLL: It's all my fault, Dr. Light. I never should've gone. DR LIGHT: Megaman was doing what he was programmed to do...save lives. EDDIE: Oh...Eddie should've give him more energy cans! ROLL: Is he going to be okay? DR LIGHT: I don't know, Roll. But we'll do everything we can. MEGAMAN: (delerious) Its...my father...I'm a little boy... ROLL: What's he saying, Dr. Light? DR LIGHT: He electrical brain must be shorting in and out, and he's dreaming of the past. How well I remember...Dr. Wily was my assistant then... (Scene changes to Light's lab many years ago, where Light and Wily are standing over a small red and grey robot) DR LIGHT: I've just finished my first prototype robot. If he works, Dr. Wily, this will just be the first of many! DR WILY: Yeah, a world of robots... DR LIGHT: Together, we will build hundreds of industrial and domestic robots. Construction robots, mining robots, marine robots...and all to help mankind! Now, for the big moment! (Dr. Light turns on the robot. The robot opens its eyes and starts walking around the lab) DR WILY: It's working, Dr. Light! (The robot approaches a wall and smashes through it) DR LIGHT: Something must be wrong! (They run through the opening, where they find the robot destroying a machine) DR LIGHT: Stop! I command you to stop! (The robot ignores Dr. Light) DR WILY: He doesn't obey! (Finally, a large chunk of metal falls on the robot's head, knocking it out) DR LIGHT: There must be a problem with with the computer guidance system. We'll have to rebuild this prototype. DR WILY: I programmed the system, Dr. Light. It must be something else! DR LIGHT: No, I'm sure it's the guidance system. We must destroy the plans and start over. DR WILY: Yes, of course, Dr. Light. You're right, as always...I'll destroy the plans... (That night, Wily sneaks into the lab. He picks up the robot blueprints) DR WILY: Just what I'm looking for. Destroy MY work, will he? Well, not if I can help it... (Dr. Light enters the lab) DR LIGHT: What are you doing with those plans, Dr. Wily? You were supposed to destroy them! DR WILY: NEVER!! (Wily runs away. Dr. Light chases after him, but Wily throws a toolbox in front of Light, who trips over it. Dr. Wily stops at the doorway) You're just jealous of my genius! YOU probably sabotaged the guidance system so you could take all the credit! But, now it's MY turn to be in the spotlight! (Wily runs out the door, locking it behind him. Dr. Light runs up and bangs on the door) DR LIGHT: Dr. Wily, come back! You can't use those plans! They are dangerous!! (Wily escapes to a dingy hideout in an abandoned warehouse, where he is building Protoman) DR WILY: Let them make fun of me. Let them laugh. Nobody knows the genius that I am. Even when I was a little boy the other children never understood me. I never even had toys like the other kids...But now, I'll build all the toys I want! Robot toys! And I'LL control them! Bwahahaha! Humans are imperfect; robots are so much...superior. My robots will be made to supervise mankind; under MY command! (Scene switches back to Dr. Light's lab, three months later, where Dr. Light has perfected his robot design) DR LIGHT: I think I've finally worked out all the bugs...I'll call him Rock, my new robot prototype. Now, let's see if he works. (Light switches the robot on. Rock opens his eyes) ROCK: Hi, my name's Rock. Who are you? DR LIGHT: I'm Dr. Light. I built you. ROCK: Are you my father? DR LIGHT: In a sense, I am. (Rock gets up and walks around. He stops in front of the mirror) ROCK: I look human... DR LIGHT: Yes. And I programmed you to feel like a human. ROCK: I like that. (That night, Dr. Light shows Rock his next newest robot) DR LIGHT: Come, Rock. Look. I built this robot to handle household chores. Her name is Roll. ROCK: She's pretty. DR LIGHT: Yes. And you can think of her as your sister. (Dr. Light switches Roll on) ROCK: Hi. I'm Rock, your brother. ROLL: I'm Roll. DR LIGHT: We're one big family. And, the two of you are going to help me, as I create a whole new world! (Light opens a door with three other robots standing behind it) This is Cutman, a logging robot. And this is Gutsman, a construction worker; he has enormous strength. And this one can freeze anything with his Ice Slasher beam. ROLL: Just think of all the great things they can do to help mankind! DR LIGHT: Yes, but it's late. And time for young robots to get to bed... (Later that night, Dr. Wily comes back with his robot, Protoman, who melts a hole in the lab wall. The two of them step inside the lab) DR WILY: The three robots are in the next room. (Protoman rips the door away, revealing the robots. Wily gazes at them a moment) Magnificent! These will do nicely as a first in my army. (Dr. Light comes in with Rock and Roll) DR LIGHT: Dr. Wily? What are you doing back here? DR WILY: Just settling an old score. ROLL: They're going to take our robots, Dr. Light! ROCK: Not if I can help it! (Rock charges and tries to tackle Protoman, but he steps out of the way, and Rock dives into the three robots, which activate) DR LIGHT: Stop them, my robots! DR WILY: No, Dr. Light! They will obey ME! (Wily points an odd device at the robots.) GUTSMAN: We obey you, Dr. Wily... ROLL: He's reprogrammed them! (She leaps on top of Protoman, striking his helmet) I'll stop you myself! (Protoman pickes her up and tosses her into Rock. Gutsman picks both of them up and holds onto them.) DR WILY: Take them back to my lab. DR LIGHT: You let Rock and Roll go! DR WILY: Oh, I think not. They will make a perfect addition to my collection of robots. And I wouldn't try anything, Dr. Light. If you do, Iceman will freeze you! Show the doctor, Iceman! (Iceman fires his Ice Slasher at a table and flasks, covering them in a layer of ice) If you try to follow, then let Cutman show you what he'll do to you... (Cutman takes the blade from his head and throws it at the flasks Iceman froze. The blade slices the frozen flasks clean in half. Wily leaves, taking all of the robots with him.) DR LIGHT: No! Not Rock and Roll! (Watches as Wily's Skullcar flies away. Dot beeps at his side) Yes, I know. But why would Dr. Wily want Rock and Roll? And what are they going to do with them? (Scene switches to Wily's new lab, an ominous fortress with the now familiar skull design and "W" on the front of it. Wily has Rock and Roll strapped to tables in his lab) DR WILY: Well, how do you like my new fortress, Rock? Now, I will be able to take all of the good robots that Dr. Light builds, and reprogram them to turn against mankind! MuahahahaHAHAHA! ROCK: But that's not right! DR WILY: (sarcasticly) Oh, my. He's right, Protoman! I'm a...BAD scientist. PWAHAHAHAHAHA!! PROTOMAN: Hey, you should be happy, Rock! You and I are brothers! We were built from the same plans! Let Dr. Wily reprogram you and join us in our quest to control mankind! ROCK: No way. You can count me out! (Wily approaches Rock with an unpleasent-looking device) DR WILY: A little chop here, a little slice there, and you'll feel differently about this. (Starts toward Rock with the device) ROLL: Hold it, Dr. Dent-head! DR WILY: That's Dr. WILY! ROLL: Not in my universe, buster! DR WILY: (Approaches Roll) You'll be a pleasure to lead higher... ROCK: Wait! Stop! DR WILY: And why should I stop? ROCK: Only if you want to live. My dad also built super-warrior robots, and they're on their way here to rearrange your ugly anatomy. They're mean-machines! DR WILY: (talking to himself) Robots can't lie; he must be telling the truth. But, why didn't I know about these other robots? (turns to Rock) Is there a way to stop them? ROCK: Let us go and I'll show you. DR WILY: (to Protoman) Unstrap him! (Protoman releases Rock) ROCK: Thanks, Doc. DR WILY: Now, tell me how to stop those robots. ROCK: Simple. (walks up to a large machine with wheels on it) First you take one of these, like this. Then you shove it at them, like this! (Rock shoves the machine at Wily and Protoman. It slams into them, and a piece of it traps them) See? Works every time! DR WILY: You tricked us! But...but robots can't lie! ROCK: (frees Roll) I think we've overstayed our welcome. Let's get out of here! DR WILY: Get us out of this! (Protoman loosens his hand and blasts them out) Now, stop them! (Protoman fires at Rock and Roll while they get inside a nearby hovercraft) ROCK: Hang on, Roll! (They nearly run over Protoman, then crash through the ceiling and fly off) DR WILY: You let them get away!! PROTOMAN: Relax. We'll get that blue bucket of bolts yet. And then he'll be on our side! (Wily just mutters something under his breath) (Meanwhile, Rock arrives back at Light's lab) ROCK: Are you mad at me? I had to tell a fib to get away. DR LIGHT: Well, not this time, Rock. You saved you and your sister's life! It was your human emotions that enabled you to make that escape. But, there's still a grave problem; Dr. Wily and Protoman will be back, and there's only one way to stop them! ROCK: What is it, father? DR LIGHT: I'm going to have to rebuild you into a great robot warrior. And with your mixture of consience, compassion, and self-determination, you'll always have an edge over other robots. ROLL: Imagine, my brother a super-warrior! (Dr. Light works at rebuilding Rock. After much hard work, he is finally complete) ROLL: He's beautiful! DR LIGHT: He's the greatest creation of my career. And I will call him...Megaman! MEGAMAN: (activates) Megaman...I like it! DR LIGHT: But you're also my son, Rock. And, I have an added suprise for you. (Light opens a small door) This is Rush. He is to be your canine companion and transportation. (turns Rush on, who pounces on Megaman, licking his face) MEGAMAN: Hey, come on! Stop with the licking! Let's see what you can do. (Rush morphs into a variety of different forms) DR LIGHT: As you can see, he has an unlimited amount of vehicles he can transform into. MEGAMAN: Yeah, he's one hunk of hardware! (to Rush) Hey, good boy. DR LIGHT: I just feed him these battery-biscuits for energy. (Light tosses a biscuit to Rush, who promptly engulfs it) MEGAMAN: Hey, the two of us are going to make a great team! ROLL: Uh unh, the THREE of us! MEGAMAN: Hang on, my robot transisters sense something coming... ROLL: While Dr. Light was rebuilding you, Megaman, I did some work on myself! (Roll changes her arm into a vaccum, and nearly sucks Rush's nose off) Oops, I guess I still need a few adjustments...But now I can help you when you go into battle, Megaman. MEGAMAN: Uh unh, no way. You're out of your gourd, sis! ROLL: We'll make a great team; just me, Rush, and Megaman... (Back at Dr. Light's lab in the present, the doctor has just finished his repairs) DR LIGHT: Megaman. Megaman, wake up! MEGAMAN: (wakes up) Dr. Light! Roll! Rush! ROLL: He's okay! You fixed him, Dr. Light! DR LIGHT: We were worried for a while... MEGAMAN: I've got to get back to the airport and stop Dr. Wily and Protoman! ROLL: What about me? MEGAMAN: (gets on Rush) Okay, hop on. I've learned you don't listen when I tell you to stay put, so I might as well have you where I can keep an eye on you. EDDIE: (rushes in) Wait! This time, Eddie bring you double order of energy cans! (Eddie tosses a couple of energy cans to Megaman, who gulps them down) MEGAMAN: Okay, thanks. Let's go! (They head for the airport, where Wily is standing by a plane with his face on the tail fin) DR WILY: My face will appear all over the city! Heheheh! I am in control now. Nothing can stop me! Now, it's time for the mayor of the city to surrender! (Megaman flys past him) No!! (to his robots) Stop Megaman at all costs!! (Cutman chases after Megaman, firing a couple of blades. Megaman dodges them before blasting Cutman with his plasma cannon. He then copies the Rolling Cutter) CUTMAN: No! Now you've got my weapon! (Cutman runs away while Megaman fires the Cutter at him. The blade follows Cutman, tearing through walls, until Cutman runs towards Wily's Skullcar) DR WILY: Cutman, get away!! (Cutman jumps on the Skullcar, which takes off trying to avoid the persuing blade) (Meanwhile, Iceman is firing a few Ice Slasher shots at Megaman, who dodges them, gives Iceman a swift kick in the abdomen, then copies the Ice Slasher) MEGAMAN: Now, I've got your ice power! (he then freezes Iceman in a block of ice) (In another part of the airport, Elecman is fighting Roll. While Roll is dodging, Rush grabs Elecman from behind and holds him over Roll) ROLL: Nice going, Rush! Now hold him still! (Roll morphs a hand into a kind of mixer. Rush drops Elecman onto it, who is whirled around until he flys apart) I think he's done! (Wily sucks the pieces into the Skullcar) DR WILY: Forget it, Elecman! (Back to Megaman, Gutsman hurls a helicopter at him, and he barely dodges it.) PROTOMAN: No! Megaman is mine! (leaps out of the Skullcar and wasks up to Gutsman) I'll take care of him myself. (Protoman copies Gutsman's Super Arm. He the strolls over to Megaman, and they engage. Protoman manages to score a hit, and knocks Megaman into the nearby hangar. Protoman follows.) PROTOMAN: Where did he go? (Megaman swings down from the rafters, knocking Protoman into a jet turbine. Megaman hops into the cockbit and starts the engine, sucking Protoman into one end and spitting him out the other, into a heap on the ground.) MEGAMAN: Looks like your fighting days are over, Protoman. I'm taking you back to Dr. Light's lab. He'll reprogram you to be good. (Wily beams Protoman back on the Skullcar) DR WILY: Megaman did it again! Well, that blue dweeb hasn't seen the last of us! (Wily's Skullcar retreats) (Later...) DR LIGHT: My robots are almost finished repairing the airport, Mr. Mayor. MAYOR: The city offers its congratulations, Megaman, for a job well done! MEGAMAN: The credit goes to all of us. ROLL: Even me? MEGAMAN: Even you, Roll. (turns to Rush) And my faithful robot-dog Rush. Hey, fetch, Rush! (Megaman throws a biscuit into the air. Rush chases after it, but comes back hanging onto a jet wing.) MEGAMAN: Sometimes, I'm not too sure Rush's circuits are wired correctly... (all laugh at the dumb dog) FIN
