Chip Collecting

A new craze was sweeping MegaMan Jr. High. Unoriginal plots. This week it was a fad called chip collecting.

MegaMan: Okay, I'll trade you two cannons and a recover 30 for an invis1.

Rush: I'm a rog, why rould I have rips?

MegaMan: Never mind...

MegaMan leaves the room. Rush steals the chips MegaMan was offering and puts them in his collection. MegaMan goes down to breakfast.

Light: Were you wasting time on that stupid obnoxious fad again?

MegaMan: Do you know anything about chip collecting?

Light: No, but assuming that's whatever you were doing is called I hate it! I don't understand it, that makes it bad! That's why I don't allow books written in other languages in this house!

MegaMan: sighs Well, I'd better leave for school.

Light: Okay, but don't take any routes across the street that I don't understand.

MegaMan: But that would save me 15 minutes...

MegaMan goes through the underground tunnel with a mandatory obstacle course and battle with GroundMan detour and 15 minutes later arrives at school.

Roll: MegaMan, I got some new chips! Do you have any you'll trade me?

MegaMan: I would, but my chips keep dissapearing...

Cut to a secret area in MegaMan's house.

Rush: Rall for Rush, rall for Rush!

Cut back to school.

Roll: Oh well.

Wily walks up to them.

Wily: Were you talking about battle chips?

MegaMan: Yes.

Wily: I will not have them distracting you from your school work!

Roll: School hasn't started, we're not even in the building yet.

Wily: No excuses! I'm banning battle chips from school and all areas within 100 yards of the school, that includes your houses!

MegaMan: You can't do that!

Wily: That's never stopped me before. Remember last week? I made you promise to all help move my couch on Saturday!

MegaMan: NOOOOOOO! I hate moving furniture. Oh, and we can't collect battle chips anymore.

Act Break.

Some of you may not know battle chips relation to MegaMan. In the interest of allowing everyone to enjoy and understand this program to the fullest I will happily explain...

(runs away)

Act 2:

MegaMan: Wily has banned us from doing something, what can we do?

Roll: Help KI think of more original plots? Didn't this happen just a few episodes ago?

MegaMan: I meant about our battle chips.

Roll: Maybe we could just trade them inside our house where Wily won't know.

Wily: You really should have waited until I left to have this conversation. I'll install placebo brand surveilance equipment in your houses during school today.

MegaMan: Now we really can't play them at home...

Roll: MegaMan, do you know what a placebo is?

MegaMan: A type of fruit?

Roll: No, it's/

MegaMan: Vocabulary drills won't help us now! We have to think of something! But not right now.

Wily is still standing there, listening. Later, at the school sponsored battle chip club (they can still hold it as long as they don't trade battle chips) the entire sudent body (you know who it is by now) discusses the problem.

MegaMan: We have to find a way to keep collecting and trading battle chips!

Zero: Hey, why did the school sponsor this club if Wily hates battle chips?

As usual, everyone ignores Zero.

MegaMan: Bass, why don't you just ask Wily to repeal the rule? You got him to give you a giant gold trophy for getting a D on our last spelling test.

Bass: I can't talk to Dad about it, some guy named "Plot Hole" won't let me!

ProtoMan: Well, there is an abandoned house two houses over from Zero's...

MegaMan: I see where you're going with this...

Cut to the group standing in front of an empty house.

MegaMan: There, we finally built a house on the spare land next to the abandoned one. I proclaim this the secret battle chip club!

He turns on the giant neon sign that says "Secret Battle Chip Club".

Act break

Act 3:

The first meeting of the secret battle chip club is under way.

MegaMan: I won! I'm still the best Perfect Dark player out of the 8 or so regular characters on this show!

Zero: Why are we playing video games, we could do that at home. Shouldn't we trade battle chips?

MegaMan: What are battle chips?

Zero: sigh never mind. Did KI run out of ideas for this plot and go in a random direction like that vacation episode I have no way of knowing about since it was a dream?

MegaMan: No, we just renamed battle chips Perfect Dark. But now they're called battle chips again.

Zero: That's even stupider.

MegaMan: Show some respect! You signed an agreement to get into this club, follow it!

Zero: All the agreement said was I had to bring drinks to the meeting.

MegaMan: And you're already on probation for bringing SafeWay Select!

Zero: Whatever, let's just play battle chips.

MegaMan: We can't actually do that. Do you think KI would really think up rules for it just for this episode?

Someone pounds on the door.

Voice: Open up! It's the police!

MegaMan: A raid!

They all hide their battle chips. The police come in.

Officer: We've heard that their's an illegal battle chip meeting here!

MegaMan: The police are involved in enforcing a school rule that isn't legal to begin with?

Officer: There's not much crime in this town.

In the background we can see Wily and Light fighting in huge battle mechs.

MegaMan: Well, there are no battle chips here.

Officer: What about the neon sign?

MegaMan: That's a constellation.

Officer: You think you can fool Sergeant Fred J. Officer?

MegaMan: No.

Officer: Then what you said must be true. Unless trespassing and stealing lumber is a crime, I have nothing to arrest you for. Have a good day.

MegaMan: That was close!

Roll: Didn't you learn anything from our last encounter with Wily?

MegaMan: You mean when we were moving the furniture?

Zero: It doesn't matter. Sooner or later we'll get caught and learn a valuable lesson. I've figured out how things work on this show.

But the club was never discovered by Wily, and continued to exist for the rest of the series. But of course, it will never be mentioned again. Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
