It was another day at MegaMan Jr. High.
ElecMan: Class, it's time for a school election. We must elect a student body president.
Zero: Does the student president have any actual power?
ElecMan: All he can do is choose whether or not to expel MegaMan.
Bass: I nominate myself!
Roll: MegaMan, you can't let Bass win! I nominate MegaMan!
ElecMan: Pat Buchanan (if it I spelled that wrong it was intentional) it is!
Roll: I said MegaMan!
ElecMan: Fine...
Roll: Don't worry MegaMan, there are only 6 students in the school, and 4 are on your side. You'll win the election easily!
ElecMan: To make sure this vote isn't determined the majority of voters Bass and ProtoMan's votes will count for twice as much as MegaMan's, Roll's, Ceil's, and Zero's. We call it the electrical college.
Zero: Would you like to make that a little more obvious?
A sign saying "MegaMan Jr. High is making fun of the electoral college." flashes on the screen.
Cut to MegaMan and his friends talking after school.
Roll: This won't be easy, with that electrical/
MegaMan: It was kind of clever once, but now let's abandon that name, it could get annoying.
KI: I completely disagree!
MegaMan: You want to keep it?
KI: No, it wasn't clever.
Roll: Anyway, it looks like the election will be a tie. And if that happens the Wily run school Supreme Court (FORESHADOWING!) chooses the winner. We need a plan, or better still, a plot device!
ElecMan walks up to them.
ElecMan: Class, I'd like to introduce a new student, NeutralMan!
MegaMan: Why are you doing it at my house?
ElecMan: The school day is only a few minutes long.
MegaMan: Well, we know what we have to do. Get NeutralMan on our side or I'll be faced with the horrible fate of never going back to that school set up as a place to destroy me again!
Act break.
Act 2:
The next day at school MegaMan and his friends set out to get NeutralMan on their side.
MegaMan: NeutralMan, there's a school election coming up. I'm running for president, will you vote for me?
NeutralMan: Although you have no way of knowing this, I'm neutral on the issue of who to vote for.
Bass: Well, you have to make a decision! You have the tiebreaker vote!
NeutralMan: Well, a school election is important enough to overcome my natural neutrality. But it depends on the issues...
MegaMan: What we need is a place to debate politics.
Cut to MegaMan and Bass having a debate on a message board.
MegaMan: OMG vot 4 me i'm teh greatest!111
Bass: ur teh sux, vote for me nuetralman!111
MegaMan: OMG LOL like u have a chance!1111
Bass: LOL N-GAGED!1111
Cut to MegaMan and his friends sitting in front of the computer.
Zero: Maybe you should have a debate at school. It might be more coherent then typing it online.
MegaMan: OMG good idea propz 2 u d00d!111
Cut to MegaMan and Bass having a debate in the school auditorium.
Wily: Well, we have a lively crowd turned out for today's debate.
Roll: Ban the Bass!
Ceil: No oil for blood!
Zero: More time spent thinking up protest slogan parodies!
Wily: And now let the debate begin!
MegaMan: Students of MegaMan Jr. High, it is imperative as we face the new school year that you have a strong leader. One who will stand up for student's rights, improve the learning environment, defend us from unfair rehash accusations! And as your president... I really can't do any of that...
Bass: Whereas I have a clear, realistic goal! Getting MegaMan expelled!
MegaMan: We stand at a crossroad, will you take the easy way out and have me expelled, or will you take a deeper look at the problems our school is facing and blame TV and video games for them? The decision is yours!
Wily: And that's all the time we have for debate. The election will be held in November... I have a short attention span. Let's hold the... ooh, a new reality show! Everyone, vote right now so I can go home and watch!
And so the students vote.
NumberMan: The votes are counted, and MegaMan has received the majority of the votes!
MegaMan and friends: HUZZAH!
NeutralMan: And I now will be leaving for no reason. Goodbye forever!
MegaMan: Looks like everything's wrapped up.
Zero: But it's only act 2. I have a bad feeling about this... oh, who am I kidding. That election was almost four years ago. KI would never reference to something that recent.
Act break.
Act 3:
MegaMan: So I won the election. Everything looks great. But it feels like something is missing, almost like when you get the incomplete ending in a video game...
A screen saying "You must have all seven chaos emeralds to continue." pops up.
One thurough rereading of every single episode later:
MegaMan: So, it's time for me to be announced as the official winner.
AnnouncerMan: And the winner of the MegaMan Jr. High school election is:... undetermined.
MegaMan: WHAT?
Bass: HUH?
Zero: Florida'D!
AnnouncerMan: The election count was inconclusive! Wily didn't count some of the votes for MegaMan.
MegaMan: Then recount!
AnnouncerMan: That would take to long.
MegaMan: It's only seven votes, and it's important to know who the people chose!
Bass: Wanting every vote counted? How selfish can you be...
Wily: This can only be settled in the School Supreme Court! Don't worry, we'll wrap this up quickly.
Many months later.
MegaMan: The School Supreme Court looks like it's going to rule against us! Maybe I should have said something, but I was too busy shooting butterflys. The election was botched, the system was unfair to begin with, and we've been completely incompetent. It's clear who's fault this mess is... Ralph Nader!
The next day the School Supreme Court is ready to announce its ruling.
King: After careful deliberation, it is the decision of this court that actual votes have nothing to do with elections. The college formerly known as electrical is what matters. So it is our decision that/
MegaMan: WAIT! I have something to say! This election has been a joke, and not the funny kind, a pun or something! Since it is obvious I will lose, I choose to withdraw from the race now! I am leaving school politics! You won't have MegaMan to kick around any/
Bass kicks MegaMan off the podium.
Bass: Announce the winner!
King: The winner and next school president of MegaMan Jr. High is... Ralph Nader!
Bass: I know not to get my hopes up by now.
Zero: That doesn't make any sense! he didn't even run, who voted for him?
KI: I did. My vote can be used any time, even months after the election, and counts as one trillion votes. Ralph Nader is the president of MegaMan Jr. High!
Nader: As president, I choose not to expel MegaMan. Since that's the only thing I have power to do, I'm leaving now. I need to write a consumer safety report on dissapearing platforms. Good bye!
Zero: Unbelievable. How did you get him to be president anyway?
KI: Well, I did promise him something in return...
Cut to the night of November 2.
Kent Brockman: The votes have been counted and the results are in! The next president of the United States is... MegaMan!
KI walks onto the screen (who knows which one).
KI: We've had a lot of unsubtle political satire tonight. Although I'm proud of the butterfly joke... Anyway, there's a message I want to give you, the viewers. Contrary to what the episode insisted, your vote really does matter! There's an important decision coming up that everyone should be involved in! When the time comes, be sure to vote for... Super Mario World in the GameFAQs contest. Stand up and be counted! That's it for tonight, stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
