Episode 50: The Forbidden Door
It was the 50th day at MegaMan Jr. High (because every episode took exactly one school day). MegaMan was staying after school in detention writing:
I will not celebrate meaningless milestones or copy The Simpsons.
MegaMan finally finished and went home.
Light: MegaMan, I'm glad you're home. You know our tool shed in the backyard?
MegaMan: We have a backyard?
Light: As I've always told you, never go near it.
MegaMan: When have you said that?
Light: I played it on a tape while you were asleep to subliminally implant the notion in your brain. And I muted the tape so it wouldn't wake you.
MegaMan: Why can't I go into the shed?
Light: All you need to know is that it's forbidden. Behind its door is the most horrible, frightening, interesting thing in the world. And you can never know what it is unless you open the door. Which you must never do. The secret would blow your mind.
MegaMan: Is it a slot machine?
Light: No, you're thinking of what killed the dinosaurs.
And so MegaMan promises never to look in the tool shed. But the curiosity is tearing him up inside.
MegaMan: I wish I could look inside the shed, but the curiosity tore up the part of me that lets me walk!
MegaMan somehow recovers and goes to see his friends to take his mind off things.
Roll: MegaMan, did you hear? The most amazing, fascinating thing is locked inside your shed!
Bass: I bet you're too chicken to go see what it is.
Zero: It will probably be something stupid. Remember when Mario 128 was a slot machine game?
MegaMan: We already made a reference to that!
Zero: Well how was I supposed to know?
KI: Oh, it's not something like that. It's something truly shocking.
Zero: Nothing on this show can surprise me.
KI whispers what it is to Zero. Zero faints.
MegaMan: What is it?
KI: What is your fascination with the forbidden door of mystery?
KI leaves.
MegaMan: I can't take it anymore! We're going inside that shed!
And so MegaMan and his friends prepare to go inside.
Zero: MegaMan, don't, it's not something we can handle! It's too horrible and arcane!
MegaMan: I don't care! I'm going in!
MegaMan and his friends open the door and go inside the shed, having no idea (except Zero) what horrors they will encounter inside.
Act break.
Act 2:
MegaMan opens the door.
MegaMan: A mysterious portal? What's so great about that?
Roll: I think it's what's inside the portal that's so secret.
MegaMan: No, I'm sure it's the portal. What a dissapointment.
They go home. A few days later they have nothing to do.
MegaMan: I'm so bored I could eat a horse. And so hungry I could watch something non-animated on Fox.
Roll: Want to see where that portal goes?
MegaMan: No, I'll keep it a secret that we snuck into the shed.
Cut to the shed where the door has been left open, there are footprints in the grass, and grafitti saying "MegaMan was here" is sprayed across the door. Cut back.
MegaMan: But I guess we have no choice. Let's go into the portal.
Zero: MegaMan, no, it really is too horrible! And what if we get caught.
MegaMan: No problem. I'll tell KI Light said it was okay, and tell Light KI said it was okay.
One catching and 2 week grounding later:
MegaMan: Forget it, let's just go!
MegaMan and his friends go up to the portal.
MegaMan: This is one small step for us, one giant leap for progressing the plot.
MegaMan makes a giant leap into the portal. Everyone comes out on the other side. They're in a grassy field with a gate ahead of them.
MegaMan: This feels eerily familiar. (he looks down at himself) I'm so fat!
Roll: A dog is coming to attack us! Zero, where are we?
Zero: We are in the unthinkable. A representation of MegaMan more even worse then this show.
Entire universe: Meh, saw it coming.
Zero: We are in the realm of... MegaMan DOS!
Act break.
MegaMan: Wait, the realm is only getting one act?
Zero: The whole game is only four levels.
Act 3:
MegaMan: So this is the world of MegaMan DOS.
We interrupt this episode for a public service announcement:
Tornado Tonion: The MegaMan DOS games were MegaMan games licensed to a company called Hi-Tech. There were too of them, MegaMan 1 and MegaMan 3 (that is not a joke). BEWARE!
Back to the show.
MegaMan: Well, as long as we're careful we should be fine.
Zero: That dog's been biting you since the act break.
MegaMan: AAH!
MegaMan shoves off the dog.
Zero: No use fighting, he'll just regenerate, RUN!
They run across the field. They enter a house.
MegaMan: Now what do we do?
Roll: I wish we'd run the other way back into the portal.
Zero: The only thing we can do is defeat the three robot masters.
MegaMan: THREE?
Zero: Yes. DynaMan, VoltMan, and SonicMan. It's our only chance.
MegaMan: But I can't jump!
Zero: Press J.
MegaMan: AAAHHHH!
And so the group sets off into DynaMan's territory.
MegaMan: The enemies, they aren't even robots!
Zero: Neither were Captain Planet or Tommy Tallarico.
MegaMan: They... weren't?...
Zero: Just fight!
But it's no use. J is jump, space bar is fire. It's impossible to do both at once.
MegaMan: We're doomed!
The game glitches and they appear before DynaMan.
DynaMan: You may be able to defeat real robot bosses, but let's see how you do against a cheap imitation!
MegaMan destroys him.
MegaMan: That was easy.
They continue on to SonicMan.
Bass: Don't worry, I have a strategy.
Bass calls in the lawyers and SonicMan is sued over his name.
Zero: Only VoltMan remains.
They enter his level.
MegaMan: Dissapearing platforms, over spikes, with terrible control. This is impossible!
Zero: There's only one thing we can do! Cut to us at VoltMan with no explanation!
Cut to them at VoltMan.
VoltMan: You can't defeat me without solving the puzzle!
MegaMan: What puzzle?
VoltMan: How to equip a boss'es weapon!
After many hours the group figures out you have to push the letter a weapon starts with to equip it.
VoltMan: Maybe I should have attacked while they were figuring out the puzzle.
MegaMan uses SonicMan's weapon and defeats VoltMan.
Zero: Only one level left.
Dr. Wiley: You'll never defeat me in all my mispelled glory!
And so ends another exciting episode of MegaMan Jr. High.
Zero: You can't end it here! The story isn't resolved.
KI: That's never stopped me before. But since this is the 50th episode, I'll do something special. Stay tuned for the very first fourth act of MegaMan Jr. High!
Act break.
Act 4:
Wiley: You will not survive! Face the wrath of Quint!
MegaMan: That robot that's me from the future?
Bass bursts out laughing.
Bass: I just got that joke from episodes ago where Quint told you not to time travel!
DOS Quint (a blank space saying "KI does not remember what he looked like") appears.
Zero: Shoot the core!
Roll: Yes! I won Gradius Galaxies!
MegaMan: Could I have some help?
Zero gets farther in MegaMan's game while MegaMan destroys Quint.
Wiley: I'll fight you myself!
Quint's character graphic changes so Wiley is pilotting him. MegaMan defeats him.
Wiley: I'll be back!
The group appears at the ending.
MegaMan: ONE SCREEN?
Zero: And MM3 DOS had the exact same ending. Oh well, atleast we're free.
A mysterious figure appears.
KI2: You will never escape!
MegaMan: Who are you?
KI2: I am KI2, ruler of this realm. I'm like KI, only without the best characters. CDI Link! Twisted Metal 3 and 4! Attack!
A deformed Link and some discs attack the group.
Zero: No, we can't lose! There has to be a way out of here!
KI2: The only way out is to neutralize this horrible version of MegaMan with MegaMan X.
MegaMan: Why did you help us?
KI2: I may be evil(er) then KI, but I'm still determined to wrap up the episode.
Roll: But how can we get the world of MegaMan X to come here?
KI2: It's easier then you'd think. But I won't let you! TorchMan, SharkMan, OilMan, BitMan, BladeMan, WaveMan (not related to MM5 WaveMan), attack!
Ceil: We're doomed!
MegaMan: I didn't even know you were here.
The MM3 DOS robot masters attack.
Zero: Only X can save us now.
SharkMan: So am I related to MegaMan Exe SharkMan or not?
MegaMan: There's no hope.
SpiderMan appears.
MegaMan: What are you doing here?
SpiderMan: Some guy paid me to come here.
Cut to Capcom.
Capcom Guy: Finally, now we can have a SpiderMan as a robot master!
Cut back.
MegaMan: Can you help us?
SpiderMan: Of cour/
The evil dimension transforms him into his useless form from that Genesis SpiderMan game.
Zero: Yet another pointless cameo.
MegaMan: I have a plan!
c:dos/megamanx/exe
MegaMan: I hacked into DOS! Now X should come!
X appears.
X: I'm here to save/
The evil dimension crashes from having too many characters in it. MegaMan and his friends are thrown out infront of the shed.
MegaMan: We made it! The nightmare is over!
And so MegaMan survives his 50th episode. Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High, and know that I will NEVER do another 4 act episode.
