It was another boring day in RockMan City. MegaMan was out saving the world or something, but ProtoMan was at home.
ProtoMan: This isn't fair! No one pays attention to me, all I got was that token episode a long time ago, and that was only because Bender intervened. But I can't count on him intervening again! I need to take action!
ProtoMan goes outside to think of a plan. While he's gone:
Phone rings, no one answers.
Cut to Planet Express building:
Bender: Well, I guess ProtoMan doesn't need my help.
Cut back to ProtoMan:
ProtoMan: There has to be something I can do get attention! Hmmm... there is that new "Get ProtoMan Attention!" store that just opened up in the plot device mall...
Cut to the store:
ProtoMan: There's nothing here that would get attention! Battle chips, an N-Gage, American Idol tickets, KI's writing skills, this is all junk only used in one episode! (he turns to the clerk) Why don't you have anything good here?
Dante: This show doesn't exactly have a huge target audience, we couldn't afford anything but the stuff in Trash Co waste disposal units.
ProtoMan: This is terrible! How can I ever get attention? I'm complaining to KI again!
ProtoMan bursts into the phone booth outside the mall, also know as KI's office.
ProtoMan: I demand substantial presence in more episodes!
KI: While I have no plans to include you as a main part of any story at this time, keep reading my newsletter to keep up with future news.
ProtoMan: Why am I always crammed into the background?
KI: There's no equivilant of you on Saved by the Bell, and this show is just Saved by the Bell scipts with the names changed.
ProtoMan: Be that as it may, I deserve more presence!
KI: No you don't, my focus tests show you're the lowest rated character.
ProtoMan: Who's the highest?
KI: JunkMan. To save money I had the tests done by the same team that decided who to drop in Killer Instinct 2.
ProtoMan: You're not qualified to run a show like this, all you do is pile on cliches and embezzle the money!
KI: Well too bad! I have control of this show, and the only way to take it away is by getting the Magic Controller, and you'll never find it! Although for some reason I can't figure out I posted riddles leading to it on the bulletin board in the employee's lounge...
ProtoMan: Aha! I'll get the Magic Controller and take over this show! I'll be the main character!
KI: You do that.
Cut to MegaMan:
MegaMan: I wasn't in this act at all! Well, now I am, but only for complaining. But I shouldn't complain now because I'm in it, but then I wouldn't be in it...
MegaMan's head explodes. Light walks in.
Light: You tried to change an N-Gage cartridge, didn't you?
Act break.
Act 2:
ProtoMan: I'll find the magic controller and rule this show!
KI: Yeah, like ruling this show is anything to be proud of.
ProtoMan: Regardless, I will find it! TO THE RIDDLES!
KI: This isn't good! I have to do something! Or better still, make MegaMan do it. I'll get him here with the special, patented MegaMan Signal!
KI calls MegaMan on the phone and tells him to come to his office.
KI: MegaMan, I have a job for you.
MegaMan: Stopping ProtoMan from stealing your power?
KI: Who cares about that? Untangle my controller cords!
So while MegaMan toils under KI's coffee table ProtoMan approaches the riddles.
ProtoMan: Let's see here, what does the riddle say?... the riddle is directions to the controller! KI must not have been feeling creative...
So ProtoMan follows the instructions to the magic controller.
ProtoMan: MegaMan! What are you doing here?
MegaMan: KI's making me untangle his game controllers. I've untangled all except one... wait, that's not poss/
ProtoMan: KI was using the magic controller as a normal SNES controller?
KI: A new one was $5.00! Besides, the controllers are so tangled no one can steal it... oops.
ProtoMan: I HAVE THE MAGIC CONTROLLER! Feel my power!
Nothing happens.
KI: Sometimes the start button sticks.
ProtoMan pushes the button harder.
ProtoMan: Now I'm in control! Get ready for ProtoMan Jr. High!
KI: Meh.
KI leaves.
MegaMan: ProtoMan! You won't get away with this!
ProtoMan: Silence!
MegaMan is shoved into the background.
ProtoMan: I am the supreme ruler! I can do the impossible!
He creates a quality show with a laughtrack.
ProtoMan: This is true power! Now to imprison all keyboard hogging other characters!
He locks up all the main characters.
MegaMan: We have to stop him! KI, can you let us out?
KI: Maybe later, I'm going to go play SNES... HE TOOK MY SNES CONTROLLER! We must stop him at all costs!
Act break.
Act 3:
KI: Okay, we can stop him. But we all have to work together. MegaMan, go single handedly stop him! I'm going to play another system.
MegaMan: Can I take some characters with me?
KI: Fine, you can have four companions, but they all have to have been on the show.
MegaMan overlooks the huge cast of characters.
MegaMan: Out of all the characters on this show, including powerful heroes who made cameos, I pick... Zero, Bass, Ceil, and Roll.
Zero: I hate you.
So the group sets out to defeat ProtoMan.
ProtoMan: I need to set up a security system. I'll look at some ads online...
"Genome soldiers: Genetically engineered to be perfect soldiers, enhanced combat skills. Only able to see 10 feet infront of themselves, afraid of boxes."- maybe not.
"Gradius Team: Armada of space ships, our army can take out most single ships with only loosing 75 of our crew! Offer not valid in areas with Konami code"- I don't think so.
"Diving enemies: Not powerful on our own, but equipped with bottomless pits we're practically invinceable!"- That's it!
ProtoMan: I'll hire them, they'll stop MegaMan from reaching/
MegaMan: We're here to stop you ProtoMan!
ProtoMan: Blasted dial-up! But it doesn't matter, I can defeat all five of you!
MegaMan: The others got bored and went home.
ProtoMan: Then my chances are slightly better! Feel true power!
ProtoMan creates a giant black hole that is sucking in MegaMan.
ProtoMan: Feel the wrath of my plotholes!
An anvil falls on MegaMan.
ProtoMan: Kneel before my cliches!
Trolls come and attack MegaMan.
ProtoMan: Even summoning trolls can be useful!
MegaMan: I'll never win!
ProtoMan: Now to destroy you! Witness the power of my cliched finisher!
ProtoMan holds up the controller. It flies from his hand and goes to MegaMan. ProtoMan is defeated.
ProtoMan: WHAT HAPPENED?
KI: You initiated a cliched finisher, the good guy always wins in those. You may have the controller, but you don't understand the predictable show like I do. I bet you didn't even realize this was just another token episode for you.
ProtoMan: NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
KI: Everything's back to normal, as it always will be at the end.
MegaMan: Another wrapped up plot.
Cut to the prison where all the other characters are.
Wily: They're not going to let us out, are they?
And so ProtoMan is defeated. Stay tuned for the next episode of MegaMan Jr. High!
Light: Well, we're trapped. Clip show time!
