Prologue: What to Do with That Gem Thing

The year is 20XX in a small town in the clouds. Fittingly, it is called Cloud Town and is located within a major city known only as Lava City, home of Lava Robotics Laboratories. Cloud Town, however, was known for a different robotics lab: Cloud Robotics. Founded by Dr. Light after a major disaster at Lava Labs, it was the premier robotics design laboratory in the world. Today, the team at Cloud Labs has made a breakthrough in robotic protection technology. His name was Mega Man and he could easily be disguised amongst people as Rock. There was one problem though-he was stuck as Rock.

This was a true crisis! How would the world be safe from evil robots now? Thankfully, the team had a spare robot called Mega Girl that they could resolve this is serious issue. Rock was taken to the home of Roll Asagiri and she was tasked to take care of him until the lab could fix the Transformerifier. The team immediately got to work on their spare robot to attempt to fix the issue. It would have taken hours-no days-unless Dr. Mimi Kyukei decided not to go for a walk around Cloud Town Park.

Mimi Kyukei was a very distinguished scientist, true. However, in times on immense stress, she would leave the lab in care of the rest of the team at Cloud Labs and take a walk around Cloud Town. This was clearly a time of great stress. Not only had Project Mega failed in front of a team of anxious "media," but they also had to fix the problem soon or Lava Labs could destroy everything! She left the lab and Mega Girl, the spare robot, in the careful hands of her bickering colleagues and went to Cloud Town Park. A little way into the walk, she saw something. Something shiny. Something sticking out of the ground. She dug it out and discovered that it was a gemstone. Not just any gemstone, a magical gemstone from somewhere. She knew right off the bat that this was the solution to the problem, at least temporarily. She instantly rushed back to the lab with her new discovery carefully secured in her hand which was inside her lab coat pocket.

"Guys, look what I found. I found the solution to our issue!"

"Not now, Kyukei, we're busy trying to find the-"

"Dr. Light, Kyukei has the solution…"

"WHAT? What do you mean, Dr. Proto?"

"She just said it. Did you not hear her, Light?"

"Can I show you guys what I found?"

Without another word from her colleagues, she pulled out the gem. The scientists were shocked. They had never seen anything like it. It could swap forms of a robot and give it different abilities than others. Most importantly, it could function with the already existing mainframe and copy program! The scientists quickly got to work on installing the gemstone and programming in more details regarding form swaps and the like.

After an hour or two of work, the robot was done. All set, but no one would know about her. The scientists agreed to leave her a secret from the so-called press due to the very likely possibility of there not being anymore magical gemstones to make robots like her. There was one problem though: how to hide her from Dr. Wily and the rest of Lava Labs.

"We could give her a secret identity!"

"She already has one, Dr. Enigma…"

"Oh…so then our problem is what to name her other than Mega Girl."

"Ah! Our problem must be what to name her secret identity then!"

"Precisely, Dr. Light! I, Dr. Proto, suggest we go with the name Myuki Hikari Netto."

"No. That will not do. How about we let Dr. Kyukei name her?"

"Ok," never had she been this nervous, "How about Melody Genkei?"

"But doesn't that sound a bit obvious?"

"No, Dr. Kyusuki. It makes her seem unsuspecting…at least I think."

"Dr. Kyusuki does bring up a good point though," Dr. Light quickly said, "We must think up a new last name, Dr. Kyukei."

"Ok, how about Melody Kakyoku?"

"PERFECT!"

The lab rejoiced! The name was perfect! After some quick programming of her civilian name into her preexisting code, the plan would now be set into motion. Melody would go to Dr. Kyukei's apartment complex and live in the same apartment building as Mimi in order to have someone keep an eye on her. From there, Dr. Kyukei would activate her and go to home. Melody's powers would not be active yet as the team made a special activation necklace for when they feel ready. Melody would then wake up. The plan worked flawlessly and Melody was now activated and asleep in her own apartment.
