Interlude: Peace Before War
Live, from the first station in New York to broadcast in super-definition, it's 7 Eyewitness News! With your anchors Kirk Trujillo and Trish Falkenburg, Chief Meteoroligist Topper Bernstein and Exaire Lancaster with sports!
We see two handsome-looking newspeople: a latin male in a suit whose long hair is in a ponytail, and a caucasian woman with medium-length blonde hair wearing a multi-colored blouse. They both smile for the camera.
"The human race has a new robot hero! And the best part is, he's right here in New York." states Trujillo.
Falkenburg adds, "We now join our own Bree Recotta who is live from Manhattan where today's cerimonies were held to honor our new heroes. Bree?"
We see Bree Recotta, roving reporter for Channel 7 news, wearing a bright pink blazer and holding her microphone with the number 7 on the mic cube. She is standing accross from a stage which is now being torn down the crew members.
"Thank you Kirk and Trish. Earlier today, the streets of New York were filled with people of all ages, races, creeds and genders. Even many robots could be seen out here amungst humans. All of them were here to witness the cerimony to honor the most brilliant scientist in North America, Dr. Thomas Light. And to honor the newly proclaimed Defender of the Human Race... and his name is Mega Man."
We see taped footage of the Medal of Valor cerimony that was held earlier today, honoring Dr. Light and Mega Man. Mega Man's sister Roll and his dog Rush can be seen up on stage with them. In the clip, we see the the moment where The President of the United States declared, ""And to Mega Man specifically, should you accept it this title, I am hearby declaring you as the Defender of the Human Race!"
Bree's voice can now be heard narrating the pre-recorded piece.
"We have a new hero, Mega Man is his name. He is a robot of an advanced design, created by Dr. Thomas Light. A man who has been a New York resident for nearly thirty years. Today, both of them were given the valued Medal of Valor, one of the most pretigeous honors that be be bestowed, in front of millions of people, many of which could not even see the stage the cerimony was held on. But, to many of them, that did not matter, as they wanted to welcome their new defender and be a part of history."
We then, see clips of several citizens of New York...
"Mega Man is the coolest!" says an early teenaged boy.
"I want to be like Mega Man when I grow up." says a younger boy.
"Thanks, Mega Man." says an African-American man, "The city feels safe again."
"Hey, Mega Man!" says a Latin-American man in his early 20's, joined by two of his friends, "You're our honorary homeboy, dawg!"
"OhMiGod! I loooove Mega Man!" swoons a brunete haired young lady, "He's so hot!" "Mega, will you, like, marry me?" says her friend, with pink streaks in her blonde hair.
"Regardless of who we met," Bree continues, "The reaction and the sentiments are all the same: Mega Man has been embraced by the people he's promised to protect. And they're not the only ones who feel this way. Members of the New York Police and Fire Departments have also embraced Mega Man as an ally. I had the chance to speak with Police Chief Mongomery Toombs before today's cerimony."
We then see Bree speaking with Chief Toombs, the rough and tumble New York Police Cheif. And like a true Scotsman, he wore a kilt as a part of his uniform today for the cerimony.
"I wish he was on the force!" he exclaims with a big smile on his face and a laugh.
"Would you make him an honorary deputy?" Recotta asks.
"If he wants to be, I'd make him one anytime! In my mind, he's already one of us. He saved a lot of our boys and girls out there a few days ago. When I meet him, I'll be the first to tell him the beer's on me!"
We then see the aftermath of Dr. Wily's initial attack on Time Square last week, including shots of injured humans being loaded onto ambulances and firefighters trying to save people buried in the rubble in the subway.
"Just a few short days ago, the city of New York was shaken to it's core when Dr. Albert Wily - a former business partner of Thomas Light's - launched an attack on Times Square with seven deadly robots, killing 22 people and injuring many more, as well as destroying and damaging several robots." says Bree, "Now, thanks to Mega Man, the human death toll in this week's attack is zero... and New Yorkers are now celebrating in the streets. And while Mega Man did not say much at today's cerimony, he did assure the citizens of the world of one thing..."
"By the way, Wily's goin' down!", says Mega Man himself in a clip from the cerimony.
The crowd's cheers were so loud, they overwhelmed the microphone, which is nearly shorted out.
We now see the live shot of Bree Recotta at the sight of the cerimony once again.
"Now, while Mega Man and Dr. Light didn't say much, They both will be talking with me in an exclusive interview at the sight of Dr. Light's laboratory in two weeks, and you'll see it here on Channel 7. Also, memorial services for the Twenty-two victims of the attack on Times Square will be held tommorrow morning. Reporting live from Manhattan, Bree Recotta, Channel 7 Eyewitness News. Back to you in the studio."
The next morning.
Bliss of Heaven Cemetary.
Here, on this appropriately serene day, twenty-two coffins are lined up side by side. These are the victims of Dr. Wily's initial attack on Times Square. Here also are the survivors of those who died, along with the Governor and Mayor of New York. The media is also here, broadcasting this service on television.
Before the cerimony can start, everybody hears the sounds of approaching jet engines. Initially, there is a panic, but when people look up, the panic turns to relief. Mega Man himself is here, transported by Rush. Mega felt he had to be here. It was the tragedy that befell these people that made him volunteer to become Mega Man in the first place. The family and friends of the victims began to gently applaud the robot hero. Although they know he wasn't around yet to save these victims, he did make sure that it didn't happen again on Wall Street and will continue to make sure it doesn't, glad that more familes and loved ones did not have to grieve either.
As the people cheered, the towering Governor Cochran extended his hand.
"Mega Man," he said in his rich, smokey voice, "It's good to see you again."
Mega shakes the Governor's hand, as well as the Mayor's.
"I had to be here to show my respects." Mega says, "I just wish I had been a warrior robot sooner... I could have saved these people."
"Don't blame yourself," The Governor says, "Wily will pay for what he did."
"I'm going to make sure he does, sir." Mega replies.
Governor Cochran is amazed at the passion and the heart in this machine beside him. He can't help but smile and give Mega Man a pat on his titanium back. He believes Mega Man isn't just some machine... he's a hero.
"I know you will, Mega Man." he says, "You'll do the memory of these people proud."
New York City Police Precinct.
On the same day of the memorial service, Lynn Wersching limps into the precinct, wearing her street clothes and a walking cast. She has been told by her doctor to take the medicine she's been perscribed, but she is affraid to take it... she doesn't want to end up like she believes her brother has. So, she's feeling quite uncomfortable right now.
She approaches the charred and lifeless body of her former partner, the Policebot known as AL-05. Techs here at the station tried to revive him, but the damage he sustained from the prolonged electrocution from ElecMan's lightning beam had fried his memory core. Lynn knows that every Policebot that is destroyed is sent off to the recycling yard, where they are melted down and made into parts to build new robots.
She always felt that's not quite right, especially in AL-05's case. Granted, all Policebots look exactly alike, and no one bot is any different from any other, but AL-05 was a good partner and he felt like a friend to her. He even saved her life this week. That doesn't sound like a mindless robot drone to her, that sounds like a robot with a heart, much like this Mega Man robot she keeps hearing about. AL-05 deserves to be buried, not thrown away into a scrap yard... her piece-of-junk car deserves that.
Lynn requested that the station keep his body until she could see him for the last time. So now, here she was, looking down at AL-05's body. The armor of all Policebots are entirely metal and are mostly jet black and silver with badges on their front of their helmets and on the left side of their chests... but AL-05's armor was now almost all blackened from being fried. His head was also bashed, his square metallic jaw hanging off to the side. Barely able to tolerate the nagging discomfort in her ankle, she leans on her right side taking the pressure off of her ankle, slouching on the table AL-05 is on.
"Hey, partner." she says, instantly feeling a little strange talking to a dead robot, "... I, uh... wanted to thank you for saving me back there... I'm gonna miss you. The past few years, I think you've been in my life..." Lynn pauses, feeling the tears welling up, "more than my own brother."
Lynn wipes away a lone tear trailing down her fair-skinned face.
"We're gonna get these bastards who did this... just like you said we would. That Mega Guy is going to make sure of it... I'll try and get in a few slugs in 'em for you too."
Lynn reaches over and pulls AL-05's badge off of his chest. It was smudged black and the "N.Y.P.D. AL-05" font on it was barely visible and the points of the star-shapped badge were charred.
She knew they had to take his body, but she wasn't going to let them take his badge. She was always going to have his badge with her to keep his memory alive.
"You'll always be with me, fella." Lynn chokes, giving AL-05's unmoving body a pat on his shoulder.
Lynn slowly limped out, placeing AL-05's badge in one of her jacket pockets, leaving her partner behind for the last time. Another lone tear falls from one of her eyes as she leaves.
A few days later.
SkyCar Motor Vehicles East Coast Plant.
Rochester, New York.
Mega Man, Dr. Thomas Light, Roll and Rush were invited to the east coast SkyCar plant by the president of the SkyCar company. All around them are the rare (and expensive) SkyCars themselves, the world's first true flying car. The president, Mr. Angus Malcolm, has taken them through a tour of the plant, which has culminated in this moment...
"Dr. Light, Mega Man," says Mr. Malcolm in his Austrailian accent, "For courageously saving New York, I would like to award all of you with... your very own SkyCar, free of charge."
A group of workers remove a white sheet off a shiny and new red SkyCar. All of the Light family's eyebrows raised in suprise, as SkyCars were only affordable by the very rich or were only offered to those who were viewed as Very Important People (at a reduced price, of course). But, this is one of the very few times a SkyCar had been given away to somebody at no charge.
"This is our new prototype model," says Mr. Malcolm of the red car, "The first in the line. It can switch from tires to jets, and..." a pair of wings that resemble those of a fighter jet pop out of the sides of the SkyCar, "Thanks to these wings, this Sky Car has greater manuverability, which you'll need, because this SkyCar can travel at double the speed of anyother, thanks to a pair of twin jet engines located in the wings, in case you would need to get somewhere in a hurry. And, if that wasn't good enough, it is a convertable too."
"Well, Mr. Malcolm, I don't know what to say." Thomas says in amazment.
"No worries, Dr. Light." Malcome waves off, "In fact, these vehicles are our thanks to you."
"Vehicles, plural?", Mega Man asks
"Ah, yes! That reminds me. This is yours also." Malcolm states.
Another group of people pull another white sheet off of a smaller vehicle...
"This is The SkyCycle," says Angus, "This is the very first of the line as well. These won't even be availible until the Holidays."
The SkyCycle is a vehicle that resembles a sports cycle, but it has no tires. The chassis of the SkyCycle is both lime and dark green. Roll's blue eyes grow wide as she sees the sleek SkyCycle and she wishes that she had one of these.
"And Mega Man, this is specifically for you!", Angus says.
"Thank you, sir," Mega says, "But, with Rush, I've got all of the needs of transportation I could ever want."
Rush barks in agreement.
"It's also free of charge." Malcolm offers, holding up the keys to the SkyCycle.
"Thanks, but-" Mega says, until he's interrupted.
"I'll take it!" Roll exclaims, snatching the keys and giddily making her way to the SkyCycle.
She leaps into the seat of the SkyCycle with a big smile on her face.
"Thank you, Mr. Malcolm!" she exclaims, already gripping the handlebar controls.
The Light family is flying their way back home. Mega Man is standing atop of Rush, almost like one would ride a surfboard, Dr. Light is driving the family's new SkyCar and Roll and driving her brand new SkyCycle.
"Wow!" Roll says, "I love this SkyCycle! Hey... I'll race you home!"
"Roll, you shouldn't drive too fast." Thomas advises.
"Last one to the lab is a faulty hard drive!", Roll peeps, putting her SkyCycle in full speed.
Mega kneels down and asks Rush, "Can you believe her?"
Rush barks.
"... full throttle, Rush!" Mega says with a grin.
With that, Rush barks twice and zooms off behind Roll. Thomas continues driving normally in the SkyCar and shakes his head as he watches his robot children enjoying themselves.
"Kids." he says to himself with a gentle smile.
Vick-Tek Corporate Headquarters.
New York City.
In the upper levels of a tall skyscraper decorated with the giant letter V on each side of the building, the President of Vick-Tek Incorporated Marcus Vickers reads aloud from the front page articles about Mega Man in the New York newspapers while holding a meeting with his board members.
He half-heartedly reads, "And with Mega Man here, there is no doubt that technology is not our enemy, but our friend... and now our protector too... La-di-da, whatever."
He then puts the papers down and impatiently asks, "Why didn't we think of this first?"
The board is at a loss for words.
"We're the leading computer and technology company in North America, and meanwhile, some guy who looks like Santa Claus is more ahead of the curve than we are! And he's making the money we should be making!", he fusses. (Of course, by 'we', Vickers really means 'I')
The board is still silent until one of the suits chimes in, "Dr. Light is the most well-known robotics scientist in the world."
"I know that already, Carl!" Vickers grumbles.
The board is silent again.
"Does anybody have an answer?... Somebody?" Vickers snits.
Scot Erikson, Mr. Vickers' Vice President, says, "Well, sir... we could make our own Mega Man."
"... little late, don't you think?" Vickers asks, tapping his fingers on table.
"Sorry, sir." Erikson mutters, hanging his head down and twiddleing his thumbs.
Vickers snaps his fingers, "You know... something bothers me about this Mega Man. Did you see how he was almost defeated by the red robot? The one with the scarf... he almost had him. Mega Man might be Mega, but he's not invincible... he may get destroyed in battle one day... the human race will need a new defender, pronto. We might not be able to make our own Mega Man... but we can make our own robot warrior! We Should! One that can stand up to Wily in case Mega Man should ever be defeated. How does that sound?"
All of Vickers' 'Yes' Men (and 'Yes' Women) unanimously agree that this is a brilliant idea... even though it really wasn't his to begin with.
"Good! Contact R&D. Tell them to get to work on making a Vick-Tek Warrior Robot on the double!" an elated Vickers says, "We'll have Wily in jail before you know it."
A few days later.
Macintosh Shopping Mall.
Mega Man, Roll and Rush are at the mall and Dr. Light has allowed them to spend some money on themselves. Of course, because of Mega's newfound noteriety, he has been stopped by various fans and autograph seekers over the course of the trip.
Roll immediately made her way to the music store and grabbed the two albums released by her favorite rock band, Captain Fallout and The Atom Smashers. These albums being "The Chronicles of Brad," and their first album, "Rock and Roll Pinto."
"You like these guys?" Mega asks, on their way out of the store, after his sister made her purchase.
"They're the greatest band in the world!" Roll says.
"So... are they the ones you listen to when you have the radio so loud?"
"Not just them, Mega. I also crank the volume for Metalheads Inc., The Screamin' Demons, The Rebel Girls, Lightning Riders, ... but these guys are the best!" Roll says, "And their lead singer is really cute."
"Oh, so that's why you like this Captain Fallout guy. Because he's cute." Mega says.
"No, Mega." Roll clarifies, "Captain Fallout is the lead guitar player, and he's the coolest. You should hear him shred the fret board!"
"My room is right accross from yours sis... I have heard him." Mega says.
"He's great, isn't he? Now, Shades is the lead singer... and he's gorgeous!", Roll exclaims with a swooning tone in her voice, "My circuits tingle every time I see him."
Mega Man glazes his eyes and he can hear Rush behind him stiiffling a laugh.
In the middle of her daydream, Roll looks over and sees another store that grabs her attention.
"Look! A video game store!" she cries, "Let's go!"
"Be careful how much you spend. Dr. Light only gave us so much money, sis!", Mega reiterates.
Roll ignores her brother and runs towards the Gamescoland store, which features a big poster on the front window for "SkyBlasters", a Sci-Fi arial combat game, which is adorned with rave reviews from gaming magazines and websites. Roll takes one good look at the poster and immediately decides she wants this game.
Later.
Mega Man hasn't bought much so far, but Roll, on the other hand, is on a spree. This is her first trip to a shopping mall, so she is in heaven.
"Look at all of the clothes!" Roll gasps when she sees the women's section of one of the depertment stores in the mall.
Roll browsed much of the women's clothing, picking out a pair of faded blue denim jeans and a basic women's red t-shirt. There was a really nice red sun dress they had, but she didn't have enough money. Maybe next time. By now, Roll had made her way to the swimwear department and pulled a red one-piece swimsuit off the rack and held it up to her body as she looked at herself in a mirror.
"How does this look?" she asks her brother.
"Are you going swimming anytime soon?" Mega asks, confused.
"I'm thinking of making my own superhero outfit!" Roll says with a smile.
"A superhero outfit?" Mega asks.
"Yeah! We're gonna be partners, remember?" Roll replies, then ponders to herself, "I wonder if they have spandex pants here."
"Um... I thought we already went over this, Sis." Mega says.
"Oh, come on, Mega. It'll be so much fun to fight crime together!" Roll says, "We'll be the best team in the world!" As she puts the swimsuit back on the rack, Roll takes a look in a the mirror at her standard Red/Cream Yellow pants and blouse she is wearing now and adds, "You know... on second thought, I might not even need a superhero outfit anyway. I can kick just as much butt in these threads I have on now. Besides, I've already got a hot SkyCycle. That's good enough."
As Roll leaves the swimwear department, Mega shakes his head. He had hoped Roll would have cooled down on this whole sidekick idea she had, but she's only gotten even more interested. But, Mega fears that she's not taking this very seriously and that she only wants to be his partner because it sounds fun... he knows first hand just how 'fun' fighting Dr. Wily's robots really is.
Mega doesn't want his sister out there in the heat of battle because he doesn't want to see her get hurt again, or end up like some of those unfortunate Policebots in Dr. Wily's failed attack on New York's financial district.
Mega Man's thoughts now drift to Wily himself, as well as Mega's brother ProtoMan. He knows they are both holed up at Wily's freightening hideout and that they are up to no good... Dr. Wily is probably plotting his revenge right now.
"Hey, Mega!" Roll calls, "Look at this leather jacket! It's red too!"
Mega leans to Rush and whispers, "I've never seen anybody love the color red as much as Roll, boy."
Dr. Wily's Hideout.
Somewhere in the badlands of the southwest United States.
ProtoMan - Mega Man's and Roll's older brother, the robot once known as Blues - makes his way down a corridor in Wily's intimidating fortress, which is much bigger and caverness than it was a few days ago. It will be known as 'Skull Fortress' when it's completed.
Proto can smell something rather strong coming from Dr. Wily's main robot construction room. His face scrunches up when he smells what can only be described as the smell of burning plastic or latex. He stands outside and waits for Wily to come out. He can hear the muffled voice of madman inside from behind the door, laughing maniacaly. Finally, ProtoMan can't take this horrid smell anymore and puts his yellow scarf over his face. Underneath his visor, his eyes are wincing.
Before Proto could go inside and risk choking on this rancid smell, the door opens and Dr. Wily comes out, wearing his usual white lab coat, dress shirt and tie with jeans and black shoes. Albert is wearing a black breath mask over his face so he would not choke on the stench inside.
"What the hell is that smell?" Proto coughs.
"Come here, my boy." Wily says, his voice barely audible under the mask, as he closes the door to the room and leads Proto back down the hall, away from the smell.
Albert pulls the black breathing mask off and replies, "That is the smell of brand new syntethic flesh being grafted onto the face of one of your new compatriots. Wonderful, isn't it?"
"Please don't tell me my skin stunk that bad when you built me." Proto groans.
"Oh, it did. Plus we had to implant hair into your scalp, so the process was much longer." Wily answers, "The smell of synthetic skin lingered in Thomas' lab for days. I enjoyed seeing that fat bastard gagging on it every morning."
"So... what this new lugnut's name?" Proto asks.
"The robot I am working on new will be named Crash Man."
"Let me guess... he's a crash test dummy." Proto quips.
"No, Proto... I wouldn't waste my intellect on that! Let me show you why he's called Crash Man."
Dr. Wily's Workshop.
ProtoMan lets out a sharp and impressed whistle when he sees a table in Dr. Wily's Workshop that is loaded with several deadly weapons. A Buzzsaw blade, a boomerang with sharp edges, a flame thrower, sharp blades shaped like leaves, several explosive devices that appear to have grappling hooks on their bottoms and a cannon were all lying on this table.
"This is some mean looking stuff you've got here, Doc!" Proto exclaims.
Wily chuckles with a sinister tone, "Indeed it is, my boy. These weapons are for the new Robot Masters. I have already finished two, Once Cut Man and GutsMan return with the wood I sent them out for-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Proto interrupts, "... you're making a robot out of wood?"
"... Wood and Metal." Wily answers, "I shall name him... Wood Man."
ProtoMan chortles, but he stops before Wily could get angry with him. He didn't feel like getting into another argument with his creator. "That, uh... sounds great, Dr. Wily." Proto lies, "So... Crash Man's weapon."
A perturbed Dr. Wily grabs the cannon off of the table.
"This is Crash Man's special weapon," Wily says, grabbing an explosive, "These are Crash Bombs. Each one can attach itself to whatever surface it touches and each one is loaded with enough C4 explosive to leave a hole in the ground."
Dr. Wily loads the bomb inside of the cannon.
"Can I test Crash Man's weapon, oh Wicked One?" ProtoMan asks with delight in his voice.
"Of course you can!" Wily answers.
Hangar bay.
Dr. Wily leads ProtoMan to his fortress' large hangar bay, where Wily's Skullker is parked. Several User-Controlled robots are working on contructing a duplicate Skullker for the mad scientist to use in case the original is destroyed in battle.
The large hangar bay door opens with a single press of Wily's remote.
"You know that boulder outside of the fortress?" Wily asks.
"The one that pisses you off and you won't just have GutsMan remove it?... yeah" Proto replies.
"Such an eyesore, is it not?..." Wily smiles, "take it out for me with the Crash Bombs."
ProtoMan grins when given the command and approaches the edge of the hangar bay door, kneeling down and taking aim with the Crash Bomb cannon at a large boulder outside of Wily's wretched hideout.
With a press of a button, ProtoMan fires a Cash Bomb at the boulder. The bomb sinks it's grappling hooks deep into the boulder and the bomb begins flashing and beeping. After a few seconds, ProtoMan gets impatient.
"Nothin's happening!", he groans.
"Wait for it," Wily stresses, "... now!"
The bomb explodes, obliterating the pesky boulder into nothing but gravel pieces.
"Heh-heh!... Sweet!" Proto chuckles, returning to his feet and handing the cannon back to Dr. Wily.
"Now that you've given me my own weapon copy system, I'm gonna have to steal Crash Man's power for myself one day."
"Don't you dare steal your fellew robot's powers, ProtoMan!" Wily sternly advises.
"We'll see how you feel about that when we're facing my little brother again!" Proto smirks.
Wily grumbles under his breath at the mere mention of Mega Man. He should have been destroyed and Wily's reign as ruler of the world should have been well underway, but it wasn't. Now, Mega Man and Albert's old friend Thomas Light are getting all of the spotlight... all of his spotlight
But, Albert was about to do something about that... very, very soon.
Albert makes his way back to his workshop and places Crash Man's cannon back on the table and his beady eyes look at a picture of Mega Man taped on the wall.
"Defender of the Human Race, you say?" Wily mutters, staring at the picture of the smileing hero..
"He must die." speaks the little whipser in Wily's head.
Wily grabs the buzzsaw blade and flings it at the picture. The blade sticks into the wall and the blade rips clean through the picture.
"This is WAR!", he seethes before his face twists into an ugly, sinister grin.
Author's Notes:
It's almost time for Wily's War to begin! As you can see, I am introducing some original characters into the mix that we will see now and again. But, don't worry, they won't suffocate the story. Mega, Roll, Proto, Light and Wily are still the stars of this series.
One day we will see the entire Captain Fallout band too. (If they're going to be stuck with a name ike that, they deserve to - at least - look cool) Also, if you don't know what a Pinto is, look it up. Also, we will see some familiar characters from the Mega Man games too... (no spoilers)
First, there is something I should address. My Governor Character (Cochran) is totally different from the Governor character from the Mega Man cartoon. I forgot the Governor from the cartoon even existed until rewatching the episode "Electric Nightmare". He was in the episode for about a second. But, regardless. My Governor character is not a large fat guy with a balding head and a moustache like the one on the Mega Man cartoon. Instead, try to imagine somebody who looks like Donald Sutherland or Clint Eastwood. They fit his physical description.
Also, I forgot to mention in the last chapter that the Lynn Wersching character is named after 24 actress Annie Wersching. I couldn't visualize anybody but her playing this part, so I named her "Wersching."
Okay, now, they are many pop culture references here.
First, the Metallica references. "Kirk Trujillo" is a reference to Kirk Hammet and Rob Trujillo.
The band names "Metalheads Inc" and "Lightning Riders" are references to the songs "Damage Inc." and "Ride the Lightning."
The band name "The Rebel Girls" comes from the song "Rebel Girl" by the band Bikini Kill.
Also, "Angus Malcolm" is a reference to Angus and Malcolm Young from AC/DC.
The store "Gamescoland" is a reference to the old Funcoland chain.
Also, the red dress Roll wanted to buy is actually the dress Classic Roll wears in the video games!
Feel free to review/comment. Remember, this was not the beginning of episode 2. Just a peak of what's to come.
(Note to readers: I accidently spelled "Dress S***" in the orginal version instead of "Dress Shirt" It was late the night I posted this, I'm sorry. The errror has been corrected. Dr. Wily was not wearing a Dress S-word!)
