ON GASTLIVIA ISLAND ==============================================================================
==================================================================================================
(MegaMan's thoughts are seen as script on the black screen.)
MegaMan: Mother... I wanted to... make things right..... The Systems are wrong... the
present is what matters..... I am holding on to my fragmented memories... striving for
what is the truth..... But... I am losing control of my consciousness... will I
become... one of "them" again...? I am not Aberrant... th-they are..... unh-ah.......
TIME PASSES
Professor Emblon: What's that y'say, Dragge, my boy??
Dragge: I... sense a presence... something of the past... buried here in this sand
hill.....
Professor Emblon: Speak o' th' devil! I do declare that my metal d'tector is picking up
quite a signal! Dig, boys!
=shuffle, shuffle=
MegaMan: Everything's... coming back... into consciousness.....
(The prospector's group is seen, first a face shot, then a side angle of them staring
at the floating Stasis Field Crystal. The Crystal eventually starts spinning, then
bursts open in a brilliant flash of light, revealing MegaMan, still in his blue armor!)
Professor Emblon: ...Look'ee thar!
Student 1: Is... is that....
Professor Emblon: Who d'you s'ppose i' 'tis?
Student 1: ...MegaMan Volnutt???
Professor Emblon: Well, I'll be danged! That IS him! I saw him on th' evening news! He'st
saved th' world a coupla times b'fore! But... I wonder what in tarnation he's a doin'
in a stasis... chamber.....
(ominous music)
Professor Emblon: ..I think I'll give ol' Barrel a call.....
(The screen fades out, and comes back into focus on MegaMan sleeping in an old bedroom.)
MegaMan: ..Unhh..... Where.... where...? ....Yuna!! Where are you?! What's going on?!
(A lady walks in with a cup of hot tea.)
Lara: Hello, MegaMan.
MegaMan: Who...? Where are we?! Something's wrong!! I'm supposed to be on Elysium with
Yuna!! I was supposed to be stopping the gods!... Ugh......
Lara: What on earth..?
MegaMan: ............=sigh=............. You don't believe me, do you, ma'am?
Lara: Actually, I can't believe that I DO believe you, a ha ha!
MegaMan: Wh-what do you mean??
Lara: You see, my husband told me all about you.
MegaMan: How did he know about me??? Who is he???
Lara: My, my! You certainly are full of questions, aren't you! Tsk, tsk... take your
time; we have plenty of it!
MegaMan: =groan=
Lara: You seem to be lost... But anyway, I know about you through my husband, who is a
friend of Professor Barrel.
MegaMan: Th-that's my friend's grandfather!
Lara: Ah, I see. But so I've heard, hm hm hm.
MegaMan: I need to talk to your husband! You see, I... am an Ancient... a god from the
past reborn in a human's body. Yes, yes, that sounds crazy, but I swear that is the
truth! And a crisis is beginning to commence!
Lara: I... believe you... because I have heard of Miss Sera amongst us before...
MegaMan: W-w-wait... how many years has it been??
Lara: What do you mean, MegaMan?
MegaMan: I'll tell you all I know.
(Screen fades in and out.)
Lara: Well, according to the events of your story... since the eradication of the
Elders... it's been a year and a half.
MegaMan: Wh-what...?! That means the Guardians probably are ready to strike! I'm already
seventeen years old...!
Lara: Calm down! Calm down!
Professor Emblon: Yes, 'tis wise 'fter that nasty hibernation!
MegaMan: Who's there?!
Professor Emblon: Calm yerself, sonny! It's jus' Lara's devoted husband!
Lara: Devoted, hmm? What about those scrambled eggs that you promised me??
Professor Emblon: Erp! Coming up, m'sweet!
(He hurries off to finish cooking the eggs.)
Lara: Ha ha ha ha ha! He's such a sweetie. I love to play around with him. And I also
think he heard your entire story! But don't worry; he'll probably keep it secret.
Anyway, if the Guardians were going to attack, wouldn't they have done it already??
MegaMan: ....You're right. ...I think they said something about... testing me!
Lara: Well, you're going to need equipment to face them! And to get off this island!
MegaMan: ..To get off the island..??
Lara: This island is surrounded by a snow tempest, so no one can get on or off the island.
Except you, with that stasis crystal you were found in.
MegaMan: It's all coming back to me!
: Ooki! Ooki! Ookeeeeee!
MegaMan: Data!?
Lara: What on earth..??
Student 2: Miss Lara!! We caught a strange robot!! Should we dismantle it???
(Students 2 and 3 walk in holding poor Data.)
Data: Iki! Uki! Help, MegaMaaaaan!!
Lara: Students, put the little monkey down, for heaven's sake!
Student 3: Oop, yes'm!
(They release Data, who comes bounding through the room and takes a flying leap onto MegaMan.
Data: Ki ki kiii! MegaMan! I was in that stasis field with you! I remember everything!
The Guardians! The apocalypse! The fate of Terra and all planets alike! Ki ki ki! We must
go! Ki ki ki ki ki!!
(Everyone sits in silence for a few moments.)
Lara: Well, so this is Data. What a cute little fella. ...Oh, he's a robot! ...Isn't he???
MegaMan: He's... from my past life, as well. He's my--
Data: --Peripheral Memory Storage Device! I keep all the historical facts about his life
hidden away in my memory banks, and no one can hack me or tamper with me enough to get ANY of
the information out! ..........You told them everything, didn't you, MegaMan?
MegaMan: Well.... I, uh.....
Lara: Don't worry. We ARE friends of your adopted granfather, Barrel Caskett. My husband
and I were friends of his since high school. But, as I finished telling your friend here,
Data, there is no way off this island. A snow tempest blocks the perimeter of the island, so
no one can get on or off. An unfortunate case, it is...
Data: ..Well, let's get started, everyone!
MegaMan: Wh-what???
Data: There has to be a way off this lonely isle! Didn't we get onto Forbidden Island and
stop the storm there?
MegaMan: Yeah... but....
Data: And every cyclone has a calm "eye" of its storm, right?
Lara: Well, yes...
Data: Then we can use our experiences and our current knowledge to progress even further...
and find a way off the island!
MegaMan: Hmmmmm..... (after a second or two, he smiles) You're right, Data! Let's get to
work! We'll find a way off of this island, no matter what!
Lara: Ha ha ha! With courage, enthusiasm, and persistence like that, you just might find a
way to accomplish that feat that no one has ever surpassed! Go for it!
Data: We can do it, MegaMan!
MegaMan: Yeah!
Lara: Maybe you can find parts in the numerous junk shops in the cities to aid you. And
don't forget the ruins--the Gasikold Caverns!
MegaMan: All right! Now we can get the materials and get back to Roll and the others!
