Sorry for the lack of an update last week. I had the SAT's, a Sweet 16, and a Senior Citizen's prom on my hands and didn't have the time to write all weekend. I hope that this makes up for it!
Jenna: After a week's hiatus, we are back with Round 3 of Truth or Dare: Mega Man Edition. Let's skip the hackneyed intro and just get right to the submissions, okay?
Bass: Thank you. Your intros are more annoying and clichéd than a Saturday morning TV special.
(Jenna glares at Bass, but shrugs her anger off)
Jenna: Whatever, at least I won't be at the mercy of the readers today. Let's go to our first submission, again from lalalei. Hmm, 3 for 3. Lalalei, I award you the Most Punctual Award for commenting on my fics. Anyways, she writes:
Awesome chapter!
Hey Megaman and Bass, I've a truth for you. If Rush and Treble got into a fight, who would win?
Dr. Light, I dare you to dress up like Santa Claus. :)
Jenna: So, who would win?
(*Note* Said simultaneously)
Mega Man: Rush
Bass: Treble
(They stare at each other)
Bass: Face it Mega, your dog is a pathetic pile of scrap. He's afraid of everything and so much weaker than Treble. Treble's obviously the superior dog. Your mutt would be lucky to survive 10 minutes in the ring with Treble. (Bass pets the top of Treble's head)
Mega Man: That's not true. Rush is a super dog and is brave. He's very loyal and will never back down from you or Wily or anyone. Rush would put up quite the fight against Treble in a match.
Bass: Wanna bet?
Mega Man: Don't cross me Bass. I'll actually let Rush fight him.
Roll: Boys, it doesn't need to get this far. Stop!
Mega Man and Bass: Yes Roll.
Jenna: (turns to Dr. Light) It's your turn doctor. (Snaps he fingers and Dr. Light lab coat is replaced by a Santa Suit. His shoes are replaced by boots and a hat appears on his head.) You know, Dr. Light, you really make the outfit work. Have you ever considered becoming a mall Snata. It's like the job you were born for.
Dr. Light: Thank you, I think. But science is the only field for me. Though I'll admit, this suit is rather comfy.
(Jenna snaps her fingers and Dr. Light's original clothes are restored.)
Dr. Light: Jerk.
Jenna: Why thank you. Our next submitter of the evening is from another returned submitter, ChaoCream. ChaoCream writes:
Sweet!
Wily- I dare you to dress up like a fairy princess! (Random)
Bass- Go catch a Pokemon!
Megaman- Play with a Furby! Preferably one that would only say "Feed me."
Roll- I just want to know your opinion on the oh-so-infamous 4Kids. Honestly, I want them to do a better job dubbing.
I love these types of fanfics!
Dr. Wily: Why ChaoCream? Why me? What have I ever done to you to deserve this? I know I've attacked various cities of the world, but what have I ever done that got you to want to torture me?
Jenna: Come on Wily, I don't have all day!
Dr. Wily: Fine, just snap your fingers and get me all dressed up and ---
(Jenna snaps her fingers and Wily is transformed into a fairy princess)
Dr. Wily: I hate you.
(Everyone laughs. Bass falls to the ground from laughing so hard)
Dr. Wily: Stop Laughing! It's not funny! Jenna, get these ridiculous clothes off me now or I'll kill—
Jenna: (still cracking up) Aw, come on Wily, you look so cute (roaring laughter starts up again)
Dr. Wily: Just do it
Jenna: Whatever, your dare is done. (Snaps fingers and the outfit disappears) Bass, get ready to start your pokemon journey. Here's a pokeball, a pokedex, and, just for fun, (snaps her fingers and an Ash Ketchm outfit comes on him, season 1 of course). Now go forth, and begin your pokemon journey!
Bass: (growling) Fine.
(5 minutes later)
Bass: I'm back. Here. It's an Electobuzz. Am I done now?
Jenna: Sure Bass. Mega Man, (snaps fingers and a Furby appears) here's a Furby. Enjoy!
Furby: Feed Me! Feed Me! Feed Me! Feed Me!
Mega Man: This thing's a little creepy, not to mention annoying.
Furby: Feed Me! Feed Me! Feed Me! FEED ME!
Mega Man: Aaahhh! It's possessed! (Destroys Furby with a shot from the Mega Buster)
Bass: (chuckling) It looks like the oh so powerful Mega Man is afraid of a toy!
Mega Man: Shut up Bass!
Bass: Make me dweeb!
Jenna: Can you two go one episode without fighting! In the name of Light! Moving on, Roll, any thoughts on 4Kids?
Roll: Personally, I only know about them based on what I've seen on the internet and my experiences with episodes of Pokemon, Kirby, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Sonic here and there. While I don't completely hate them, I don't really like their dubbing methods. I hate how they Americanize parts of Japanese culture. For example, how in Pokemon, they turned rice balls into "triangle donuts," and eventually just made them sandwiches and crackers. As far as their voice acting goes, I don't really mind it. But I absolutely hate what they did to Knuckle Joe's voice in the Kirby anime. He sounds like a combination of Mega Man in Captain N (my thought s on that are for another story) and Joey Wheeler from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Jenna: Good to know! Thank you Roll!
(Roll curtseys for the audience and receives applause)
Jenna: Roll! You're too cute! Anyways, our next submissions come from GrimMoody. GrimMoody writes:
These stories are against the guidelines...but whatevs.
Um, Bass, you're my second favorite robot master ever, so sing me a song that you make up on the spot.
Roll, tell us how you really feel about Bass.
Wily, Bass, Mega, and Roll - tell us who your favorite robot masters are.
(Everyone turns to face Bass, who has widened eyes)
Bass: I have to sing a song?
Jenna: Yep!
Mega Man: (mockingly) what's wrong Bass? Are you scared?
Bass: NO! Now shut up! Okay, here it goes!
Bass:
(To the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
A Mega Man fangirl, GrimMoody
Fics aren't too bad, as far as I can see
But a good guy never will become I
I want to punch Mega Man in the eye
Keep writing your fics please, GrimMoody
Just don't make me Mega's buddy
Jenna: Great job Bass! Wouldn't you say Roll?
Roll: (Trying to play herself off as cool) He was okay. Not bad. Why should I care?
Jenna: Didn't you hear your dare? Tell us what you think of that black and yellow robot standing right over there!
Roll: Well, I think that he would be a really good guy. He could be a really nice guy if he stopped being so mean and stopped always trying to kill my brothers! I really do care about Bass, and I want us to be on the same side. I want to work with him in the lab everyday and help him and Mega bring peace to the world for all humans and robots! I don't even think Bass wants to kill my brothers! I bet he's just yearning for love and kindness. Under all that armor is a sweet robot just begging to get out. I'm going to keep digging until I find him.
Bass: (blushing madly) Yeah, uh, nice try, but I'm not sweet! I'll keep working until I'm the strongest robot and can destroy your helpless brothers! I don't want kindness and love! I want power!
Roll: (in sing song) I don't believe you! I don't believe you! I don't believe you!
Bass: Stop or I'll – I'll—just stop!
Roll: Okay. (starts humming "I don't believe you")
(Bass groans)
Jenna: So, It's time to figure out everybody's favorite robot masters! Wily, let's start with you!
Wily: Well, my favorite robot master is Air Man. He is a very powerful robot with great attacks! He surely gives the blue dweeb quite a fight! Plus, in the summer, he is the best robot when it comes to cooling down the lab!
Jenna: Bass, you?
Bass: Well, if I had to choose between robots created by Wily, then of course, I'd choose myself. But since I'm pretty sure that it wasn't what the question intended, I'd have to say Tomahawk Man. For one, he has a variety of moves, all pretty powerful. Not to mention, he's tall and has an axe attached to his arm, making his appearance seem intimidating enough.
Jenna: Interesting. Mega?
Mega Man: I'd say Metal Man. He has my favorite weapon, the Metal Blades and is fun to fight against. He's not much of a fight though, but his stage is designed really well. He makes the conveyer belts work really well for his stage. A clever robot master I must say, even if he was built by Wily.
Jenna: Finally, Roll.
Roll: I'm sort of stuck in a tie between Galaxy Man, Jewel Man, and Splash Woman. I like Galaxy Man because it's really cool how he can travel in space and go on cool adventures. Jewel Man can make jewelry appear. Diamonds, as you know, are a girl's best friend, right Kalinka? As for Splash Woman, well I'm just really glad that I'm not the only female robot anymore. I barely ever talk to other girls except when Kalinka visits the lab.
Jenna: Okay, our next submissions come from CyberBlatoise. CyberBlatoise writes:
hehe, alright, my turn to dare/truth. Starting with a little bend to one of the truths.
Megaman, Roll was asked earlier about what she thought about her predecessors, how about you? How do you feel about yours?
Dr. Wily, did you have any dreams before trying to enslave the human race/robot kind, like becoming the greatest chef or what?
Roll, I dare you to learn what fan service is...oh and also I dare you to sing any country or western song of your choice and dance to it...and by your choice, I mean Jenna's Choice.
Dr. Light, I dare you to show Mega Man's blueprints to the entire world, ...it totally is not a way for me to build my own Mega Man to rule the world or something like that *angel halo appears above head*
And finally, Mega Man, again, recite for me the three laws of Robotics, and explain your views on them.
Jenna: Well, hop to it Mega Man!
(Mega Man goes on the Mega Man wiki and searches for Mega Man EXE and Mega Man Volnutt)
Mega Man: Darn, my armor in EXE is weird. And what's with all this Net Navi stuff? It seems like a confusing series. But, at least I'm still fighting for justice! So, that's cool! As for Volnutt, he looks a lot simpler than EXE, and younger I believe too. My eyes are green with Volnutt, but my real eye color is blue. But, I have the same feeling towards him as I do EXE.
Jenna: Cool. Wily, what did you want to originally be?
Dr. Wily: Well, before I became an evil genius bent on global conquence, I always wanted to be a meteorologist and a weather man, broadcasting my research everyday to the masses. I had been studying it in college along with robotics, but no television station would hire me. They said I don't have the "face" to be a television meteorologist. Luckily, I had a degree and a job waiting for me in a robotics lab. So, I fell back on a career in robotics with Dr. Light until I found my calling for evil.
Jenna: That's so sad. I feel your pain. People can be so cruel sometimes. (tearing up, but quickly recovers) Now, the only question is, are the news crews regretting not hiring you for the attacks, or being glad that they didn't for the stories. Well, thanks Wily. Roll, I looked up the definition of fanservice during Wily's truth. Read it.
(Roll reads the definition)
Roll: Whoa, I didn't think that it meant that. (Slightly blushes)
Jenna: Thank you CyberBlatoise, for corrupting this overly adorable kid's innocence with the strangeness of the internet. I hope you're proud. I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD! What's next, are you going to show Mary Poppins and Bert doing rule 34? WHERE DOES IT END! (Takes a deep breath) Okay, let's move on. You're supposed to sing a country song now Roll, of my choosing. I choose Down by Miranda Lampert. Why? Because I just like the songs beat. Now GO!
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Strong man lived like a jackson hole
Took my heart and broke my sole
Left a dark place in my chest
I sleep but I don't rest
I sleep but I don't rest
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Met a boy in Baton Rouge
Eyes were clear and his heart was true
Made the boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But he didn't know the game
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knee
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
(Everyone applauds Roll)
Jenna:Dr. Light. Let's see those blueprints.
(Dr. Light pulls out Mega Man's blueprints and Jenna, Dr. Wily, and Dr. Cossack examine them.)
Dr. Wily: A very basic robot. His blueprints are no where near as complex as those of Bass. I can see a lot of the same structures of Mega Man when he was only a lab assistant.
Dr. Cossack: Mega Man's structure is very good for a robot. He's made of very good metals and is very energy efficient.
Jenna: Cool, but enough of the scientist speaky! Mega Man, recite those Robo laws!
Mega Man: First, a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. As a peace keeping robot, I have no problem with this rule. No matter what human, even Dr. Wily, they don't deserve to be physically harmed. Second, a robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. I don't agree so much with this law. With growing technology, robots are gaining more and more free will and are thus, disobeying their masters more. Bass is a perfect example and sometimes I'm guilty of it too. Not to mention, if the commander of the robot is evil, (*cough* Wily *cough*) than it's not a good idea for it to obey the commander's every command. Finally, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. I see no problem with this. If we can help it and don't endanger the lives of humans in the process, then there's no excuse that we can't protect ourselves.
Jenna: Great job, you little blueberry. Now, for some submissions by Loverly Light. Let's read 'em. Loverly Light writes:
^^ This is probably the most enjoyable of any fic like this I have ever read~ I don't really have dares for anyone, but I do have a few questions;
Wily, have you ever considered making a "sister" for Bass, and if so, what would you hope she'd be like?
Protoman, have you ever in the least, itty-bitty slightest bit considered Bass a little brother, or not at all?
Megaman, if you had to be a character in any series besides your own, which would it be?
Bass... hmm. Have you ever read Death Note? You remind me a lot of one of the characters from there and I was curious if you could empathize with him. ^^"
Roll, if you had a choice, would you prefer to dress up as Misora or Luna from Star Force? (Hope this doesn't bend the rules too far ^^")
And... um yup, that's it! ^^
Jenna: So Wily, should Bass be expecting a 'sis anytime soon?
Dr. Wily: No, Bass will not have a sister. Girls tend to mess things up. I mean, Splash Woman was the weakest of the Generation 9 robots, and Roll was easily infected with my virus. Not to mention, I see no purpose of doing it. I'm not sexist or anything, but I'm practical.
Jenna: Hmm, seems pretty sexist to me.
Dr. Wily: Well don't blame me! Dr. Light made them! But if I did, I'd be sure to make her more obedient and loyal than Bass. I wouldn't make her as sarcastic or emotional as him.
Bass: Since when am I emotional?
Dr. Wily: You're such an overly angered robot, and you're way too stubborn.
Jenna: Whatever. Proto Man, any brotherly love for Bass?
Proto Man: I think that Bass is a lot like me and Mega Man in more ways than one. I don't know if I'd consider him a "brother," seeing as we're not built by the same creator. But in a robotic sense, I'd consider him something near to family, I guess.
Jenna: Thank you Proto Man. Mega Man, where else other than your own dimension would you want to be?
Mega Man: I think I'd want to be in the Zelda universe. There are so many vast lands to explore, which is a nice break from my linear lifestyle. There are so many secrets to find, weapons to equip, and towns to explore. I'd really want to visit Outset Island or Kokiri Forest.
Jenna: Bass, have you ever watched Death Note.
Bass: No. I saw part of the movie though, and it looked promising. But I rarely watch TV or go online to watch anime. I'm not really sure which character you're talking about.
Jenna: Moving on. Roll, who would you want to dress as?
Roll: Luna. Her outfit is just so cute! It's preppy, but also intelligent and stylish. I'd look so cool in it.
Jenna: Cool. Thanks Roll. We covered a lot and we're going to rap it up for today. I'm sorry for the delay, especially for the recent posts, but I will try to submit the next chapter as soon as possible. Good Bye!
