Episode 66: Three Sides to Every Plot
It was another day at MegaMan Jr. High. All the students were in Sigma's office.
Sigma: This is an outrage! The school mascot has been destroyed!
We see a cut to the remains of the maverick Not Named Yet Ant.
Sigma: I know the students are responsible, and I won't leave until I know which of you to punish MegaMan in the name of! I want everyone's stories!
Wily: Actually, the cliché calls for three.
Sigma: Whatever. I want someone to tell me their version of what happened!
Zero: An ant was destroyed, doesn't that running gag tell you anything?
Sigma: No! Bass, you tell what happened!
Bass: Well it all started yesterday….
FlashMan uses his weapon. It's the previous morning.
Roll: Bass, you're the coolest robot ever, so much better then that loser MegaMan!
We see MegaMan in a diaper swinging Tango around.
MegaMan: I'm the biggest idiot EVER!
Bass: You are correct Roll, even with my soccer trophy, dog show trophy, American Idol victory, and D on a spelling test trophy I still find time to save the entire school every day!
Everyone: We love Bass! All hail Bass! Don't ban the Bass!
Someone attacks.
Tommy: I, Tommy Tallarico, the master of unlocking, am here to destroy this school!
Bass: I shall not allow you to, evil doer! BASS POWERS ACTIVATE!
Bass turns into a giant robot with a missile launcher and giant lazer gun.
Tommy: I surrender! I am no match for the glorious Bass!
MegaMan: Me want to be hero!11
Bass: No MegaMan, you must not interfere!
MegaMan enters a Game Genie code in Kirby's Dreamland.
Tommy: YES! With infinite life, infinite lives, and invincibility I can finally reach Whispy Woods! My confidence has given me new found power!
Bass: SUPER BASS LEVEL 3!
Bass turns back to how he normally is, but now he has a cape.
Bass: I will defeat you, evil one!
Tommy: This puzzle is impossible! How am I supposed to injure this stupid tree? I hate you Kirby, you should have just stolen a car!
Bass blasts Tommy away.
Roll: Our hero!
MegaMan: Me upset that I not win!1111
MegaMan blasts NNY Ant in frustration.
Flash back.
Bass: And that's what happened!
MegaMan: Me say that story not true!111
Tommy: Yeah, I only need two Game Genie codes to get to the first boss in Kirby!
Act break.
Act 2:
Sigma: Then someone else can tell what happened.
Zero: I'll go.
FlashMan uses his weapon.
It's another day at MegaMan Jr. High.
MegaMan: Hey, want to do something stupid and clichéd?
Roll: Let's play a prank on that mean substitute teacher!
Zero: We're in his class, he can hear you!
MegaMan: I don't care, I'm too stupid to think things through!
YamatoMan: I'm giving you EXTRA HOMEWORK!
MegaMan: Everyone, do something clichéd and stupid!
Bass shoots a spitball at the teacher.
Zero: I know exactly what's going to happen. It will turn out the teacher was mean because he cared about us.
YamatoMan: Because I care about you, I'm giving the whole class detention for what Bass did, except for Bass!
MegaMan: We have to play a stupid trick on him.
Zero: MegaMan, that's not going to work.
MegaMan: Be quiet! I know better then you!
MegaMan runs off a cliff and looks down.
Zero: Why did I ever agree to be on this show?
Later:
MegaMan: Okay, let's steal the school mascot, that's sure to annoy our substitute teacher!
Zero: That doesn't make any sense.
MegaMan: Stop interrupting me when I'm being stupid!
KI appears.
KI: I am the king of this show! Bow down to me, the all powerful writer!
MegaMan: We're going to steal NNY Ant from his not built yet ant farm!
KI: I hate ants! Almost as much as I hate Wendy's because their burgers were cold!
KI blows up the ant.
KI: I'm the best writer in the world.
Everyone except Zero: And we're cliché worshiping idiots!
End sequence:
Sigma: What a preposterous, one sided story!
MegaMan: No, that's pretty much what happened.
Bass: Yeah.
Sigma: That can't be the real story, it was only the second one! I want to hear one more!
Act break.
Act 3:
Zero: I think the ant's name was announced.
KI: Um…. It's a different ant.
Sigma: I demand to know what happened! Someone else tell their version of the story!
KI: I'll go!
KI throws FlashMan in a plot hole and makes the screen wavy for no reason.
KI: It was another day at MegaMan Jr. High….
We see the characters sitting around a fire. MegaMan has a pipe. Bubbles come out of it.
MegaMan: What's wrong with this thing?
MegaMan shakes the pipe and smoke comes out of it.
Zero: I do say, the political strife is threatening to tear our country apart!
Roll: Indeed. We must put our petty rivalries aside and work towards the common good.
Bass: But to work for the common good we must have a competent leader!
MegaMan: We must make the best of what we have, we can't bring progress to a hault every time something goes wrong.
Bass: But if we just accept things we'll never progress, if we're willing to compromise on our leader, how can we effectively address the socio-economic issues effectively?
Zero: What we have to do is find a balance, the ramifications of so much hostility are terrifying!
Bass: But then we're basically surrendering, we can't just let the other side win to avoid conflict!
Light: I think we have to act first. Show that our ideas are effective. We'll naturally get into a position of leadership then, if we just spend our time complaining how will we fix things?
MegaMan: I say, these are highly cultured meetings, if we were in a fictional universe, the writer sure would be brilliant.
Roll: Here here!
The flashback ends.
Zero: That's not even close to anything that happens here, and that doesn't make sense since you decide what happens in the first place!
Sigma: More importantly, you didn't even mention our mascot!
MegaMan: So is the mascot an animal, a statue, a reploid, we're not being very clear here.
Sigma: I must know why our mascot was destroyed!
Wily walks into the room.
Wily: I'm back from having our mascot cleaned.
Sigma: And so the mystery is solved! No one stole the mascot, and only MegaMan gets punished.
Zero: The mascot wasn't stolen! We saw it destroyed!
And once again, everyone ignores Zero. Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
