Episode 41: Air Rush
It was another day at MegaMan Jr. High, and flyers were posted all over school.
Bass: Soccer try outs are today! Finally, I can use that soccer uniform I painted on myself in episode 2.
Zero: They redesigned the uniforms.
Bass: KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN! I mean, AAAARRRGGHHH!
Roll: Are you going to try out MegaMan?
MegaMan: I don't think so. We're really overwhelmed with homework right now, and Dad puts my schoolwork before everything.
Light runs up to them.
Light: MegaMan! I'm very dissapointed in you, there are more important things then school work!
MegaMan: Like excersise and teamwork?
Light: No, letting me live out my lifelong dream I've never mentioned before of being a star soccer player for a Jr. High team in a parody of a horrible comic! I lost my chance when I was your age, so I'm forcing you to play!
MegaMan: Then I'll do it!
Cut to try outs. MegaMan, Zero, Roll, Ceil, and Bass tried out.
RingMan: I see we have a lot of students trying out. This team is very prestigious, it isn't easy to make the cut! But since even with all of you we don't have a complete team, you're all in. Our first game is saturday, against Super Mario Jr. High.
Zero: Shouldn't we practice?
RingMan: No, Sigma turned down my request for a soccer ball. Oh, and all of you bring bus fare for our ride to the game.
Cut to Saturday. The teams meet on the field.
Lakitu: Now I want a good, clean game! It doesn't matter who wins or loses, all that matters is/
Lakitu is carried off by an angry mob of parents watching the game.
MegaMan: Okay, let's win!
Cut to one minute later.
AnnouncerMan: This is highly unusual, but the scoreboard was overloaded. And it was designed to display Tetris scores! Anyway, Super Mario Jr. High wins!
RingMan: Well, we lost. But atleast we played a good, fair/
RingMan is carried off by the mob.
Light: MegaMan, I'm very dissapointed in you! I had so much faith in you, but you let me down. If I hadn't won $500 by betting against you, I'd ground you for a year! But i expect you to win your next game. Only that can save my marriage!
MegaMan: You're not married!
Light: You lost by 999,999,999 points! In one minute! If that's believeable, anything is.
Bass: We have to win our next game!
MegaMan: I'll think of something. There has to be a way.
Zero: Just read the title/
Zero is carried off by a mob of Squirtles.
MegaMan goes home. He watches Air Bud.
MegaMan: That's it!
MegaMan loses all faith in humanity. Then he notices something.
MegaMan: I've got it! Rush can be our new star player!
Act break.
Act 2:
MegaMan calls all his team mates over to see his new secret weapon (RingMan hasn't been found yet).
MegaMan: Our troubles are over!
Bass: I can upstage you?
Zero: Everyone will stop acting so stupid?
Rush: The R rounds will risappear again?
KI: Adult Swim no longer requires that I legally license the characters I use?
MegaMan: Yes! Or I assume so, winning the Jr. High soccer cup will surely cause all that to happen. I've found a new player. My dog!
Roll: Your... dog?
MegaMan: He can be our goalie! Watch!
All the members of the soccer team try to score, but Rush blocks everything.
Roll: He stopped kicks from members of the worst soccer team in history! He must be good!
MegaMan: With my dog as our goalie, we can win!
Cut to a montage.
We see the team beating Zelda Jr. High.
Link: I knew Epona should have been our goalie!
We see the team beating Metroid Jr. High.
Samus: You try winning when you're the only player!
We see the team beating Sonic Jr. High.
Sonic: I can't think of an entertaining comment.
We see the team beating Halo Jr. High.
Tommy Tallarico: Well we're still more mature then you poopy heads!
End montage (do montages have talking?)
MegaMan: We've been doing great! But we're competing against Super Mario Jr. High again, and if I know my sport story cliches the team we faced first is automatically the best!
Rush beats the Super Mario Jr. High team.
MegaMan: Never mind.
Zero: How are we winning if we're unable to score goals? Our goalie can't help with that...
MegaMan; Quiet! Soon we'll be playing against the reigning champions, but I know we can win, because KI wants us to and he's the writer. We'll murder our next competitors with his help! You stand no chance... (MegaMan looks at the list) Killer Instinct Jr. High!
Everyone falls silent.
MegaMan: What?
Zero: Do you even know what KI stands for?
MegaMan: Cake Eye?
Zero buries his face in his hands.
Act break.
Act 3:
After hours of explaining, MegaMan finally realizes what is going on.
MegaMan: This is terrible! KI will be biased against us, and we'll lose and Dad will be dissapointed!
Bass: There's only one thing we can do.
Roll: What?
Bass: I don't recall saying I kinew what it was.
MegaMan: We have to think of something! I'm sure with time we'll be able to overcome this! Maybe if we practice every hour for weeks we can win!
Zero: The match is in 5 minutes.
5 minutes of intense practicing later:
MegaMan: Well, we're as ready as we'll ever be. And don't forget, we've got Rush!
Rush: Rat's right RegaMan!
KI: Dogs aren't allowed on soccer teams! Rush can't play!
MegaMan: He could play before!
KI: Yeah, I pretty much make up the rules as I go along.
MegaMan: We'll still somehow beat you!
KI: No you won't. I'll bet control of this show. Match my bet and you can win control and be a corrupt tyrant just like me!
MegaMan: All I have is a quarter.
KI: Well, I'll acccept it. It's actually a good deal for me, this show is millions in debt from lawsuits.
MegaMan: Now we really have to win!
Roll: Well, it will be a good, clean game.
KI: I'm also the referee.
MegaMan: Isn't there a rule against that?
KI: There's a rule against everything. Let's play!
Zero: Isn't it traditional to give some kind of justification after saying there's a rule against everything?
KI: There's a tradition for everything. Now, intoducing the teams! The reigning champions, the cast of Killer Instinct!
Thunder, Riptor, Cinder, Orchid, Glacius, Fulgore, Spinal, Eyedol, Jago, TJ Combo, and Sabrewulf walk onto the field.
MegaMan: How about the charcters from the sequel?
KI: I HAVE NO SEQUEL! Ahem, and the challengers, some stupid robots.
Fulgore: Hey!
KI: Let the match begin!
MegaMan: Come on team! We'll show KI it takes more then complete control of the events about to transpire to win!
Half a minute later.
AnnouncerMan: Once again, our score board has been overloaded.
MegaMan: They scored one point!
AnnouncerMan: It was an Atari score board.
KI: My team wins!
KI takes his quarter and leaves.
MegaMan: I'm sorry I lost Dad.
Light: It's okay. I've learned there are more importat things in life then winning.
MegaMan: Like what?
Light: Denial.
And so MegaMan's soccer career ends. Stay tuned for the next episode of MegaMan Jr. High!
