MegaMan woke up and finally remembered to free the characters ProtoMan had imprisoned. After that he went to school. In homeroom:
ElecMan: Class, I have recently received a notice from the principal. A certain book I was going to have the class read has been banned for containing inapropiate material.
Zero: That's censorship!
ElecMan: Dr. Wily says it's not censorship, the book is only being banned for kids, kids aren't people therefore this isn't censorship.
Zero: Yes it is! I'm calling the ACLU!
ElecMan: They instantly gave in to us and are instead trying to prevent people from emulating games.
Zero: That doesn't make any sense! You're thinking of the IDSA. Actually, I'm not thinking of that, I just can't remember their current name.
ElecMan: The IDSA is a university in California.
Zero: Stupid misinformed writers!
ElecMan: Anyway, since the basis of our work for the next quarter was the banned book, I've been forced to come up with an alternative. I'm flunking all of you, class dismissed!
Zero: They can't do this, we have to stand up to Wily! I'm starting a group to fight this!
KI: You're not the main character, only MegaMan can start or lead things.
Zero: Then MegaMan needs to! MegaMan, we have to do someting about this!
MegaMan: But we can't go against our principal!
Zero: We have to! I'm always going along with your idiotic ideas, it's time for you to listen to me!
MegaMan: Fine, but first you have to go along with another of my ideas.
Three weeks later:
MegaMan: There, we built the ultimate treehouse, never to be seen or used again. Okay Zero, now we can try to get that book unbanned.
They go to Wily's office.
MegaMan: Why won't you let us read that book?
Wily: What book? What are you talking about?
MegaMan: Don't play dumb, that decision you made three weeks ago is still fresh in your mind!
Wily: Oh, right, that book I banned. You can't read it, it's inapropiate for children!
MegaMan: What's it about?
Wily: I didn't read it, that would make me a hypocrite!
Zero: How can you know it's bad then?
Wily: Some senator who also didn't read it said so.
Zero: This is ridiculous, stop your censorship!
Wily: Why should I?
MegaMan: Because if you don't we'll never raise enough money to get tickets for that NSync concert!
Zero: You haven't listened to anything we've said, have you?
MegaMan: I have a short attention span. I wrote a 100 page thesis on it over the course of 6 months.
Zero: Regardless, we're taking action! Wily, we're suing you!
Wily: Look at my school, you think that suprises me?
Act break.
Act 2:
MegaMan: Well, if we're suing we need a lawyer.
Zero: I'm sure we can find some stupid made up character.
Someone walks in.
LawyerMan: Hello, are you in need of a lawyer?
Zero: I knew it. Maybe atleast this time it will really be a new character instead of/
MegaMan: You're just KI!
Zero: Why did I agree to be on this show?
KI: Do you want my legal advice or not?
Zero: No!
KI: Fine, but good luck finding another lawyer.
MegaMan and Zero go to look for a lawyer.
MegaMan: It's hopeless! We'll never find anyone to represent us! All the lawyers in town are busy suing KI for using their client's characters!
Zero: Let's just get KI.
They go to KI's office.
KI: I'll be your lawyer, but it will cost 10 times as much as it would have before. I was going to do it for free, so it will still be free. Now let's prepare our case!
Zero: By looking up the history of the court's decisions on censorship in school's?
KI: That's boring, people are used to exciting things on this show, like dog shows and hooky and cliches! Let's go fight a giant censor monster in that anceint temple across the street!
Cut to them facing a giant monster.
KI: You may be powerful Censor Monster, but I'll defeat you in the most thrilling way possible! A spelling bee! Spell "KI".
Censor: (monster roars)
KI: You lose!
Censor explodes for some reason.
Two weeks later:
KI: Okay, the lawsuit is tommorrow and I think we've prepared a good case.
Zero: Our case is terrible! It's not even about censorship, most of it is an argument that dogs make better pets than cats, and the rest is comparing the story lines of Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2!
KI: I said I'd help you prepare a case, I never once said it would be relevant.
Zero: We'll lose the case and never get to read that censored book!
KI: Don't worry, I have a few tricks left up my sleeve. Mostly of the card and sawing people in half variety.
Act break.
Act 3:
It is the day of the trial. Judge King is presiding.
King: Now for the case of Wily vs. Zero.
MegaMan: I was supposed to get official credit!
King: Now presenting the jury.
Zero: Lawsuits don't have/
King: 12 of Wily's peers. Bowser, Gannon, Dr. Robotnik, Liquid Snake, Mother Brain, Eyedol, Dracula, King Dedede, Super Macho Man, M. Bison, Shao Khan and Rupert Murdock. The case shall now begin.
KI: Your honor, villians and Fox presidents of the jury, I present to you a simple ideal. America was founded on freedom of speech, freedom of the press! It is our right as Americans, nay, our patriotic duty, what our founding fathers fought for, to... know that dogs make better pets than cats!
Zero: AAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! You're fired!
KI: Your loss, I had some great card tricks.
King: The defendant may now make his opening remarks, which will hopefully be more relevant.
Wily's lawyer, Rock Monster (Wily wouldn't pay a separate person) takes the floor.
Rock Monster: Your honor, I speak today on behalf of values. Values that made our country what it is today. Values that show that cats are much better pets than dogs!
Wily: You idiot, talk about banning the book!
Rock Monster: You told me to make my case about cats and Metal Gear Solid 1 having the superior story line!
Wily: Listening to me proves you're an idiot! Now talk about the book!
Rock Monster: Fine. Your honor, the banned book simply isn't apropiate for children. We have their best interest in heart.
Zero: Censorship is not the answer! We have a right to read whatever we want!
MegaMan: Yeah! Don't let that idiot bash MGS2's storyline!
Zero: MegaMan, why don't you just sit quietly for the rest of the trial.
King: Well, this is a very hard decision to make. But it is mine and I will have made it as soon as this coin lands.
Liquid: What were we here for?
King: And my official ruling is... the book can not be banned, and Metal Gear Solid 2 has the better storyline.
Wily: No!
Zero: We won!
MegaMan: What about the pet issue?
The next day at school:
ElecMan: Class, due to a court order you are now allowed to read the banned book. Of course, since I already filled out your report cards you'll all still be getting Fs.
Zero: Finally. What's in the book anyway? (he reads it) These are just random letters and numbers! (he reads a string out loud) Hey, I'm invinceable!
Roll: I can jump higher!
MegaMan: Spikes only take away 99 of my life!
Zero: So the banned book contained Game Genie codes!
Wily: Yes, and now that everyone knows them I won't get credit for contributing them to GameFAQs!
Zero: We went through all this for... (Zero explodes in rage)
MegaMan: He's dead again! Guess he read an O as a zero.
And so the book is uncensored (a few hours earlier than if the trial hadn't happened). Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
