CYOA: MegaMan Legends - AR

[Adrian2040]

This is a "Create Your Own Adventure". It's a game where I write a story and then I'll give you 5 choices on how to continue the story. Once it's time for an update, I'll continue the story with the choice that had the highest amount of votes. (In case of a tie, I'll take the option that was voted for first.)

Let's begin.

MegaMan Legends - AR (Alternate Story)

In a world, covered by endless water... MegaMan Volnutt was in a ruin. He was trying to find a refractor, which is an ancient, crystal-like artifact that provided everyone a lot of energy. Due to energy problems in the world, everybody paid a high price for them. He eventually finds it and takes it with him, barely escaping the Indiana Jones's rip-off trap.

MegaMan continue through the ruins, trying to find an exit. He had to fight many reaverbots, but he was not alone. He had the advice of Roll Caskett, her sister and spotter. He also had the Mega Buster, which was a convenient laser shooter that was attached to his arm. MegaMan fights his way on until he stumbles upon a door. At this point, MegaMan's communicator started malfunctioning. Still, he continued on.

MegaMan went inside, just to find a massive reaverbot. It tried to crush MegaMan with his gigantic arm, but Volnutt defeated him by firing at him with his Mega Buster while moving around him in circles to dodge his attacks. After defeating him, Volnutt continued through to move by running through the rear door.

MegaMan found himself outside, in the top of the ruins. It was a huge pillar surrounded by a lot of water. Eventually, the huge reaverbot he had defeated came back. With nowhere to escape, MegaMan seemed to be done for. However, he smirked and jumped into the ocean. However, he wasn't dead. He fell on top of the Flutter, the Caskett's trusty flying ship. With the refractor on hand, MegaMan entered the Flutter and left the tower.

Roll Caskett was the person driving the Flutter. Barrell Caskett, Roll's grandfather and MegaMan's adoptive "father", was helping on the fuel area. Data, MegaMan's robot-monkey friend and mascot, was just walking around.

With the refractor secured, things were looking better than ever. At least for a few minutes as suddenly...

A) MegaMan turns on the TV and sees a special history show about the now-extinct apricot. MegaMan's favorite dessert was apricot pie, which Roll always made for him. MegaMan starts to place both clues together and decides to go to Roll and demand the truth from her.
B) Barrell Caskett, after working on the fuel room for a lot of time, decides that fire is pretty and that everything should be on fire. Thus, he starts burning everything with his flamethrower.
C) MegaMan walks into Barrell's room and finds his journal. Curiosity gets the best of him and he starts reading it. By reading it, he finds out that he is adopted.
D) MegaMan accidentally triggers Data's memory-recover routine. This makes him recover his memory from his past. Thus, he attempts to start a mutiny to take the Flutter in order to find a way to go to Elysium.
E) The Flutter goes through an area of extreme turbulence, causing it to shake so strongly that Data falls off it, together with Roll's hat.

EDIT: Thanks to Mikey for pointing out an error.

[Mikéy]

I remember this. I'm pretty sure something like this is in-progress over at PL forums, right? I also remember the funny Legends 3 Development CYOA that Dashe made... Kanako wound up becoming an overweight yet successful TV Cooking Show Host who had the power to make or break the devroom.

Anyway, I usually wind up enjoying stories like this, so I'll participate. The one that really seems to spark my interest is a rogue Volnutt Trigger, so I guess I'll go with "D".


(by the way, one of your sentences turned out being contradictory. Typo?)

With the refractor on hand, MegaMan entered the Flutter and left the Flutter.

[Dashe]

I remember that COYA. It also involved Greg's head reflecting the sun and blinding someone.

As far as options go, I'll pick C. Gotta love internal drama.

[Deleted]

I find this to be very interesting.

While I find all options cool, I shall vote for C)

[Adrian2040]

Any good, efficient worker deserves a rest. After a job weel done, MegaMan decides to take some leisure time for himself. He goes into his room and searches for his GameBoy Color. After searching throughout all of the room, he still could not find it. He remembered that the last time he played it, he was on Barrell's room. Thus, he goes into his grandpa's room in order to continue his quest for the missing GameBoy Color.

This quest was bound to end earlier than expected. Barrell was not inside his room, so MegaMan proceeded to search freely. While searching on his grandfather's search, he found something interesting. It was not his GameBoy Color, but it was in fact his grandpa's diary. He could not resist the temptation of reading the book and finding out his grandfather's secrets, so he decides to take a small look. It was at this time, while browsing page 52, that MegaMan encountered a traumatically shocking truth: He was adopted...

At this point, Roll entered the room just to find a very shocked-looking MegaMan. He thought it was normal, and proceeded to talk with him.

Roll: Hey MegaMan! I've been trying to find you all over the place. I wanted to tell to you about all of the upgrades I applied to the Flutter while you were under...
MegaMan: Who am I...
Roll: Huh? MegaMan, are you OK?
MegaMan: What am I? Who are you? Where are my real parents? Who are my real parents?! Grrr... Answer me!
Roll: You mean! ... You mean you didn't know...
MegaMan: Are you telling me that you knew all about this and you never told me anything!? *Breaths to calm down a bit* Tell me. How did I end up here?

Just on the nick on time, Barrell Caskett proceeds to enter his own room.

Barrell: I was calibrating my new flamethrower when I heard some noises coming from my room. I couldn't stop my natural curious instinct, so I decided to overhear your conversation. I guess you know everything now.
MegaMan: I barely know enough! How did I end up with you? Who are my real parents? Where are...
Barrel: Calm down my boy. Let me tell you my version of the story. You know that I was a very skilled digger back on my younger days. On one of those very same days, I decided to research the ruins on Nino Island in order to find refractors and any clues that could help me find the Motherload. However, I found something completely different. I found you, together with Data. To gain a few liberties, I was researching the ruins without having asked the Guildmaster's for permission beforehand. If I brought you back to any of the research teams, the Guildmaster would find out about my discoveries and might have taken you away. You were just a kid back then and I couldn't leave you behind or in risk of being taken by the Guildmaster. Thus, I decided to take care of you and Data myself, as my son.
MegaMan: What about my parents...
Barrel: I'm sorry MegaMan, but I never found out any clues about their identities or whereabouts.
Roll: I'm really sorry... I know how you feel, but "WHAH!"

Roll, surprised, lets out a sudden scream as MegaMan proceeds to take control of the Flutter.

Roll: MegaMan! What do you think you are doing!?
MegaMan: I'm taking the Flutter directly to Nino Island. I need to find out where I truly come from and the best place to start my search is in the Nino Island Ruins.
Roll: Have you gone insane!? Do you even know how to pilot the ship!?
MegaMan: I don't really care. If you had any clues about the whereabouts of your missing parents you'd do the exact same thing.
Roll: ..... Give me the wheel.
MegaMan: Huh?
Roll: I'll be taking the Flutter straight to Nino Island myself.
MegaMan: ... Thanks Roll.
Roll: Don't mention it.

As Roll takes the wheel, MegaMan starts his new quest in search for his true parents. It seemed like a smooth ride, until...

A) The Flutter is shot down by the locals from Nino Island. A confused and enraged MegaMan interprets this as a hostile message. Thus, he takes his weapons and returns the fire. A battle had started.
B) Barrel takes Data hostage. He won't allow his only (adopted) son to leave him, so he points his flamethrower at Data and threatens both MegaMan and Roll to stop what they're doing, or else Data will get burned badly and toasty.
C) Roll decides that this is a good opportunity to test the new upgrades she applied to the Flutter. She uses the new warp speed system in an attempt to reach Nino Island instantly and safely. However, Roll can't truly see her route while going at such massive speeds. Thus, the Flutter crashes against a huge, green ship: The Gesellschaft.
D) MegaMan starts having second thoughts about Roll. She had agreed to help him too rapidly, without asking many questions about his plans. He had started to doubt Roll's true intentions. She was a potential threat and MegaMan would not take the risk. Thus, MegaMan knocks Roll out of the ship and proceeds to take back the control of the ship.
E) A small, robotic bird appears out of nowhere. Data starts to bark at it, despite being a robotic monkey. This robotic bird looks at Data and thinks he might be a tasty snack, so he sweeps down and captures Data. MegaMan sees Data being taken away by this bird. Data was his only true friend and the only being that he trusted completely. Besides, Data was with him when he was found by Barrell. He might even be the key to finding out the truth about his parents. In fact, he never asked him about it. Thus, he changes his travelling route to save his friend.

Interesting choices.

I shall vote for C) as I wonder what would happen if they were to crash (literally) into the Bonnes.

[Mikéy]

I'm going with B (hurray MMLA.) I honestly think it'd be quite obvious what would happen if they crashed into the Gesellschaft, but that's just me.

If more people voted, I could totally see D getting the bulk.

[Dashe]

I'd like to see D happen. I'd certainly be suspicious of that gold digger if she jumped on board with helping me so quickly.

[kirby4ever]

Even though this thread had been dead for month, I'll pick B.
