That would be a difficult battle however, especially given it would be early-game for the player and he'd only have an upgrade-less Buster. There'd have to be some interesting deus ex machina to even out the odds.

You're blowing my mind, Miss Dashe. :13: Now I wish you were in charge of Legends 3's plot somehow. (Got any more ideas? :D)

Tron arming the Flutter with all of Mega Man's old weapons and then Teisel re-naming it after himself would be absolutely priceless. The Teisellschaft sounds appropriately German, and the servbots can paint Bonne Emblems all over it.
Mega Man's going to have a hard time trying to nab a ship to hunt it down with!

Dashe- Haha, I could sooo see that happening! Although I don't know about fighting it from a ship to ship battle. More like an on-foot vs the Tiesellchaft flying-low kind of fight, imagine the irony of Megaman having to defend from his own weapons as well as destroying the Flutter! What a reunion!

Dashe: I thought about that too! @green Well, then, it's a good thing the MegaMan Legends 3 Project exists, eh?

What if you have to spend a nice chunk of the game trying to hunt down the Bonnes by finding transportation to other islands on your own by boat and with escorts until you finally manage to get another flying machine to track them down and then have a proper duel to either reclaim the Flutter or destroy it?

That could make for the kind of plot we've been waiting for all these years with the franchise: a good deal of the early-game revolving around tracking down the Bonnes and reclaiming the Flutter, before beating them hard and then forcing the Bonnes to stay with them until they can get their own ship re-built. Something along those lines, yes...

I doubt that that would be the main focus of the game though...and it sounds rather messy, chasing the Bonnes around just so you can either reclaim or destroy the Flutter..I can't imagine a Megaman Legends game without the Flutter actually, it's your home after all.
Also, wouldn't it be more like the Bonnes to go chasing you around, trying to blow you up, rather than you chasing them?
Besides, didn't Inafune give a hint as to what the new game could be about in his announcement video?
"Remember what happened at the end of Legends 2?"
Meaning, he's probably planning to expand more on the Elder system plot, as much as Green doesn't want that.

The Bonnes wouldn't necessarily have to stay with them very long, either, because try as they might, I'd rather they never completely reformed or teamed up with the Caskett crowd. There really ought to be an option where you can choose to blow the Flutter up as well and turn dark, and another where you could opt to let them just have the Flutter and keep using the new ship you acquired to get there in the first place to keep on adventuring.
Bonus points if they let you name your new ship yourself.

I never said that it would be the main plot ideally--rather, it would be good as a scenario for early-game. The last time the Bonnes chased the Casketts around, they kept getting crushed, so I'd like to think that Teisel would have at least learned to be a bit more strategic and careful overall just from experience. That said, before they moved off the Flutter and to a new ship, they'd have to get their belongings first!
And yeah, INAFKING will definitely focus on what follows the Master System de-activation.

There's no reason he can't intertwine pirate-fighting with Elder System deactivation, either. Remember how in the end of Legends 2, Yuna said that the Elder System would be activating in existing ruins all over Terra? You're going to be going into ruins anyway, so taking care of the Elder System, digging to make money, and chasing pirates to get your ship back wouldn't be too big of a hassle. There are other ways to island-hop without flying, after all!
And of course, if the Bonne-stealing-Flutter concept completely clashes with Inafune's vision, I'll probably draw up a comic or something.

Tiesel? Strategic? The same Tiesel who's store ran aground because he bought items only he wanted?
The same Tiesel who shot vegetables, comic books, and fruit at Megaman because of a lack of bullets due to becoming bankrupt?
Naaah.
Besides, it feels more Tiesel-ish if he just goes after Megaman right after the Tiesellchaft is complete!
"Let's get Blueboy, or my name's not Bonne!"
With such firepower on his side, I'm sure he' going to be the one doing the chasing, not Megaman and Roll.

I'll have to second Dashe's post right there--there's nothing wrong with that kind of juggling, and it actually makes the plot a lot more intense and interesting to both the long-time fans and new players.
And just because Tiesel loves chasing the Blue Boy around doesn't mean he's ill in the head--he could show off some of his smarts more. While the Bonnes would keep running into the Casketts where they're heading to, they'd also be trying to re-build their forces after what happened in the first installment. The Casketts, similarly, need their ship back, and thus need to go after the Bonnes.

It's pretty much consistent across the board (or at least across the manuals) that Teisel is the battle strategist of the Bonne family. Remember his very first sequence in Legends 1, right after you defeat Bon at City Hall? He spends a good chunk of it plotting his attack at Clozer out loud, and he was always the one running the strategy meetings in the Gesellschaft back when it existed. And he thought up the idea of using the statue as a shield back in Kimotoma. His plans are just...a little flamboyant and highly entertaining to foil!

I suppose, but in my opinion, I still don't see it in Tiesel's personality to just leave Megaman alone and let all his new toys lie around while waiting for him to show up.
Especially after all the times Megaman has blown them up, I'm sure he's itching for a little revenge.
Buuuut, that said, I suppose it does create a good way for the Bonnes to show up more often.
Eh, I'm indifferent about it, really. Just trying to voice the other side, lol.
