Episode 48: The Protest
MegaMan was at home watching TV. On TV:
Captain Planet: I really wish people would stop making fun of me. I want to be taken seriously! Can't you tell by my green mullet?
SearchMan: We interrupt this whatever type of show that was with breaking news!
MegaMan: This is boring.
MegaMan turns off the TV and goes outside. SearchMan runs up to him.
SearchMan: We interrupt this day with breaking news! RockMan City State Park is in danger!
MegaMan: Ranger's attacking again?
SearchMan: I am not Rush! It's in DANGER, R-A-N-G-E-R! They're going to destroy the natural balance in it!
KI: Are they exterminating all the ants?
SearchMan: No.
KI grumbles and walks away.
SearchMan: What they're actually doing to do is/
MegaMan: I'm bored, I'm going back in to watch TV.
MegaMan goes back inside and turns on the TV to the educational channel.
Tornado Tonion: DustMan is weak against RingMan's weapon.
SearchMan appears on the screen, out of breath.
SearchMan: pant Please MegaMan, stay still this pant time!
MegaMan: You could have just followed me inside.
SearchMan: Finally, I will reveal what they're doing to RockMan City State Park. They are tearing down a square foot of grass to put up a drinking fountain, corrupting nature with WATER!
MegaMan: I have to do something unbelievable and corny!
Act break.
Act 2:
MegaMan calls his friends and tells them the horrible news.
Their responses:
Roll: I can't believe they'd do something so horrible!
Ceil: This is worse then when they removed a square foot of ocean to put in grass!
Zero: ARE YOU INSANE? I'm having my number blocked from the lunatics on this show!
Bass: This is easily important enough to overcome our rivalry and have us team up MegaMan! That reminds me, I've been intercepting all your mail begging for help for the past few weeks...
ProtoMan: No one called me. I had to hear about it from SearchMan.
The group rushes to the park.
MegaMan: There's only one thing we can do. Handcuff ourselves to the ground!
Roll: Is that even possible?
MegaMan: It is in a text based universe. So it's decided, we'll handcuff ourselves to the ground and wait here throughout the several weeks before the grass is torn down. We can go without food, but I wish there was a water fountain or something...
Bass: Why don't we stage a protest instead?
MegaMan: I might miss dinner!
KI: Get out of here, I've come to exterminate the ants!
MegaMan: Guess we'll have to go with the protest.
Cut to MegaMan and his friends practicing the protest.
Roll: No oil for blood!
Ceil: Ban the Bass!
Bass: Maybe we should make new protest signs instead of using the ones left over from the school election.
MegaMan: That's stupid. I know! We'll make new protest signs! (insert mocking of this terrible cliche here)
So they set to work. The new signs:
Roll: No grass for water!
Ceil: Ban the bass! (bass as in fish, keeping with the water theme)
MegaMan: I hope people have time to read the parentheses.
The group spends the next few days practicing the protest.
MegaMan: I think we're almost ready to save that patch of grass! Who's tearing it down anyway?
Bass: Dr. Light.
Cliched plot twist'D
Act break.
Act 3:
MegaMan: Oh no! I'm going against my Dad!
Roll: I'll understand if you don't want to go through with this.
KI: I won't! Go! Go protest!
So the group goes to the park. Light is there with dozens of bull dozers and wrecking balls to put up the water fountain.
Light: MegaMan! What are you doing?
MegaMan: Blood is thicker then water... wait, I mean water is thicker then blood... you know in this case that's not the best analogy to use.
Light: I understood it.
MegaMan: What I'm trying to say is I don't think you should tear down that patch of grass to put in a water fountain!
Light: I can't believe you feel this way! Do all the people holding protest signs denouncing what I'm going to do feel that way to?
MegaMan: Most of them.
Light: Then I guess I have no choice... MegaMan, you're grounded! Go home!
MegaMan:... I won't!
Everyone: GASP!
Light: How dare you defy me! That makes me fell so... so... proud.
MegaMan: Proud?
Light: Proud that I can ground you for eternity! PWNED!
MegaMan: This can't be happening. KI, help me!
KI: Fine...
KI throws some cliche dust on Light.
Light: I mean, I'm proud you stood up to me like a man! I thought it was never going to happen. Look at your name, you could've taken a hint!
MegaMan: So you won't tear down the patch of grass?
Light: No. I'll put up the water fountain somewhere else. Maybe on the nest of those endangered birds.
MegaMan: We've saved the park!
The entire park goes up in flames.
MegaMan: NOOOO!
KI: Sorry, but there were just so many ants, and there was a sale on the big fire flowers.
And so MegaMan and his friends save the park for a couple seconds. Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
