Episode One: Pretty in Pink
Most of the civilians have already been evacuated. A blue helmeted boy rushes inside a large lobby with a glass ceiling. Waiting for him are three robots. One is red helmeted, with a black visor and wearing a yellow scarf. The other is rather large, having originally been intended for work in construction. The third is rather odd looking, having a pair of scissors resting on top of his head.
"I don't know what Wiley's up to this time," the blue robot begins, "but I'm gonna put a stop to it whatever it is!"
"In case you haven't noticed," the red bot retorts, "we have you outnumbered. You might as well give up."
"No way! I've defeated you bolt brains before and I'll do it again."
The three bad bots squared off to do battle with the blue bomber, MegaMan. GutsMan starts off by swinging his huge fists to smash him into smitherins while ProtoMan starts blasting at him with his arm cannon. At about the same time, CutMan launches off his scissors to cut MegaMan into tiny metal pieces. The super fighting robot leaps away from GutsMan's mighty fists, then ducks under CutMan's sharp attack. He quickly rolls away from ProtoMan's blast. ProtoMan, GutsMan, and CutMan reposition themselves around MegaMan in order to overwhelm him. Off to his left is GutsMan. Directly in front lies ProtoMan with CutMan, who is bearing towards MegaMan's right.
As their battle ensues, their endless struggle for victory, someone watches them through the glass ceiling from atop a nearby building. The individual stands backlighted, with long flowing hair fluttering in the breeze. Down below, beyond the transparent roof, the four robots continue to battle on, unaware of the stranger watching them.
MegaMan dodges another attack as the three bots continue to circle and close in on him. Just as they are preparing themselves for their next strike, the sound of shattering glass suddenly catches their attention. From the ceiling, something large and pink crashes through. Hazel eyes sparkle and glitter in the reflection of shards of shattered glass. A beautiful female robot gently floats towards the ground, donned in pink armor and surrounded by long and lovely locks of perfect blonde hair. She touches down in their midst, and with a graceful and subtle movement of her head, her hair flies from the left side of her body to her back with a slight pit stop on her right.
She smiles at the four boy bots with the sugar coated smile of the most proper Southern Belle. She giggles, proud of her dramatic and elegant entrance. The robots are in awe of her sudden appearance, but for how long?
"Hiiiiiiiiiiii," the pink robot greets in a playful and high pitched squeel, "I hope you boys didn't mind me dropping in on you. I just couldn't resist a fashionably late entrance."
ProtoMan takes a step back away from the girly pink robot, who now stands between him and MegaMan. From the red heart shaped jewel on her helmet, her long blonde hair, her metal skirt, and her tiny pink robo boots (tiny in comparison to their much larger ones), this newcommer is certainly the most bizarre robot ever created.
"If she fights half as good as she looks," ProtoMan thinks to himself, "we might be in for some trouble."
"Who are you?", CutMan demands.
"You better beat it girl!", GutsMan warns.
"Hey you two, there's no need to be so rude towards our lovely little guest. Now then, would you mind telling us your name?", ProtoMan speaks, sounding almost like a gentleman and even giving a slight bow.
The girl bot giggles as if a little embarressed. She fiddles with her helmet and lowers a pink tinted visor over her eyes. She tilts her head slightly behind her and glances at the blue bomber for but a moment before looking back at the three others. She leans foward teasingly as she places her right index finger to the side of her helmet.
"You boys can call me MegaGirl, if you like."
"MegaGirl," MegaMan wonders a bit surprised, "I don't recall Dr. Light building another robot. Could this be some sort of a surprise present?"
"MegaGirl! Not another one of those no good goody two-shoes!"
"Well don't expect me to go easy on you just because you're a girl.", GutsMan warns.
ProtoMan crosses his arms and stands back. A smug look graces his lips as he watches the interaction between her and the other robots. He notes, that MegaMan seems not to recognize her, which serves only to deepen the fog of mystery surrounding the sudden arrival of this girly robot.
MegaGirl spins around to face MegaMan. Her right hand moves to the back of her helment and rubs it nervously. Her eyes, now hidden away from the others by her pink visor, dart away looking off and towards the ground. She slowly opens her mouth.
"MegaMan. You...you don't mind...if I...if I help you out...do you?"
"Uh...no...sure you can.", the blue bomber stutters, unsure as to what to make of the new girl.
The pretty pink robot turns back around, and dashes diagonally backwards to MegaMan's left to take on GutsMan. The construction robot is more than willing to tackle her. CutMan turns his attention to the newcommer, ready to double team her and take out the weakest link. ProtoMan, seeing this, decides to unfold his arms and begin his private little battle with MegaMan.
"Looks like its you and me, dear Brother. Don't let that pretty girl bot distract you from our duel."
"Oh, I won't ProtoMan. It's time to end this!"
ProtoMan and MegaMan square off against each other as MegaGirl deals with the other two robots. GutsMan bears his fists down on MegaGirl, who swiftly jumps up between his arms and lands one footed on his head. CutMan launches his scissors at her, forcing to backflip off. A sour look crosses her face.
"That's no fair," she pouts, "two against one! You jerks!"
"In case you haven't noticed," CutMan begins.
"We don't fight fair!", GutsMan finishes.
"Hmph!"
GutsMan punches at her with one fist, a sound blow, or at least, should have been. The pink little robot blocks his fist with her right foot. Never before has anyone been able to withstand his mighty blow, and no less hold his fist back with a tiny little foot! MegaGirl slides back and away from the construction robot. Apparently it was a close call, and it seems she expected to fair better.
"You're tougher than I had anticipated. I thought I might have been able to push it back just a little."
The pink bomber prepares to charge GutsMan, when suddenly her visor begins to blink. She turns her head to her right while scanning something on the inside of her visor. CutMan's scissors are heading straight for her face! She sidesteps away as the scissors are about to strike, a small lock of her hair is sliced off and floats to the ground. In that moment...there is silence. In that single moment, when she turns her head back to her left to examine the damage, time froze. An ominous feeling of impending doom weighs heavily in the lobby's air.
As his scissors return to the top of his head, MegaGirl coldly turns her face in his direction. Words flash wildly on the inside of her visor as she looks at him with unrelenting hatred and fury. Her wrath surrounds her like an inferno of hellfire, and is sensed by all around her. Even ProtoMan and MegaMan find themselves pausing, waiting to see her reaction to the cut in her perfect hair.
"You," she begins bitterly and gradually becomes louder, "you...YOU! Youuuuuuu...cut...MY...HAIR!"
The flames of fury surrounding the pretty pink robot erupt like a ravenous volcanoe and she immediately dashes towards CutMan with lightning speed. There's no time to react, as if everyone and everything else had been frozen in time, except for her. She kicks him into the air with a kick more like an uppercut then immediately leaps up, spin kicking him backwards into the air. She kicks him back and higher with alternating legs then spins her left leg around and kicks him hard to the ground.
CutMan lands to the ground, the floor below denting slightly. Dents surround his entire body, and in several places his wires are showing. Even though clearly out of commision, MegaGirl mercilessly continues her attack. She lands hard with both feet on his chest, nearly crushing it flat. She then stomps his face in with her right foot, and still not satsified, she spins around to face her next target. Her sights are now set on GutsMan. She leaps into the air then charges at him. She swings at him in rapid succession with her legs, and it is all GutsMan can do to block them with his massive arms. Her attacks are not very damaging against GutsMan as they were with CutMan, but her relentless attack keeps him from attacking back.
MegaMan and ProtoMan can only watch as MegaGirl wages her relentless assualt. Were they capable of fear, they would be terrified. GutsMan moves back away from her, but her attacks only continue. His thick metal arms are slowly beginning to dent under the constant repetition of MegaGirl's attacks. MegaGirl's sudden berserk fury has stolen the center of attention. MegaMan watches the power of the pink bots attacks in awe, not knowing whether to be impressed or intimidated. Meanwhile, ProtoMan revises his original assessment of the pink bomber, thinking now that her skill in battle might be twice as good as she is pretty.
An opening appears in GutsMan's guard and immediately MegaGirl kicks through, barely knocking him backwards. Her shoulders and chest armor rises up and down, as if her fury has calmed. She turns around, abandoning her attack on the construction robot, even though he only has a few minor dents in his arms. ProtoMan sighs, relieved by the fact that the girl bot's energy seems to have been depleted. However, just when they thought they could rest easy, MegaGirl dashes towards ProtoMan to turn him into scrap metal.
The yellow scarfed robot is taken aback by this sudden attack. MegaGirl raises her left leg to sideswipe him into oblivion when a hand grasps firmly onto her right shoulder. She lowers her leg and swiftly spins around to first destroy the robot who had touched her. Standing before her now, is MegaMan.
"That's enough!"
Instantly, her fire of fury shatters, breaking away like the glass ceiling she had shattered. The tint of her visor lightens in color, her hazel eyes once again visible. Just moments ago they might have appeared sharp and cold, but now they widen with fragile sorrow. Her eyes blink, as if confused.
"MegaMan," she wonders then looks around at the damage she caused, "what...happened."
She looks at CutMan, battered by her berserker rage. She places her hand over her mouth as if disgusted with what she had done. GutsMan regains his composure, but decides for the moment not to attack. MegaGirl looks away, shaking her head. She removes her hand from her mouth and holds it guiltily on her chin. She glances between ProtoMan, the fallen CutMan, GutsMan, then turns towards MegaMan, but averts her gaze shamefully away.
"I...I...I'm sorry...I...I didn't...I'm sorry...he...he...he cut me hair...I...I didn't mean to...I...I'm so sorry. I never meant to...act like that. I'm...I'm really sorry. I'm...so terrible."
"Hey, what are you appologizing for," ProtoMan begins with a shrug and a smug look on his face, "we're enemies, so we're suppose to try and destroy each other. GutsMan, grab CutMan, we're leaving. Watch your back MegaMan, next time your little girlfriend won't be able to save you."
Dr. Wiley's robots retreat, leaving MegaMan and the pink female robot alone. MegaGirl is unable to look at MegaMan. She takes her cue and starts to walk past him. He motions for her to stop.
"Wait, MegaGirl...are you...alright?"
"I...I've got to go!"
With hastened speed, MegaGirl retreats. MegaMan immediately runs after her, but she quickly outruns him, fleeing from him with a series of sprints and great leaps. The blue bomber shakes his head and resolves himself to returning to Dr. Light to see if he knows anything about this mysterious new robot.
