(It
is a nice and peaceful day at the archive and everyone is playing a
four-player
game of Super Smash Bros.)
Yes I am winning!
That is only because you set the item
switch to put only Bob-ombs in the
levels that you cleverly avoid.
Stop your whining Cranky.
At least you are doing better than me
and DK.
Yeah so?! I hate being in second place
all of the time!
Anyone want to play Mario Party 2?
Everyone:
ME!!!!
Toad! Don't you think these guys
have enough N64 for one day.
I guess...
Well I had enough too. I am going to
turn off the N64 and watch some TV.
(
goes to turn off the N64 and suddenly the system disappears in a flash!
And when turns around he notices
that everyone else has disappeared)
Oh. I guess this is some kind of trick
caused by the writers I will go
ask them.
(
goes over to and )
Hey guys did you delete the N64 and
Nintendo characters from Sean Kelly's
latest episode?
N64??
Nintendo Characters???
Yeah Nintendo characters. Isn't this
called the "Battle Of The Video Game
Heros"?
Yeah it is called that, but we never
heard of Nintendo characters.
Yeah, we only write about things like
Pong.
PONG!!!!
(Shocked,
leaves the writers)
Something very weird must be going on
if everyone does not remember what
Nintendo is. I know, I will ask Mr. Red Eyed Guy.
(
blows the Red Eye Whistle and
appears)
Ahh Blob, so you want to know what has
happened to the archive.
Like always you have read my mind.
To get answers, head towards the only
Nintendo friend left.
(
disappears)
I don't get his riddles. Who's left??
(Suddenly
comes in his spaceship)
Ahhh so Blob survived! Robots, capture
him.
Uh oh!
( 's
robots surround , however
is suddenly transported and he ends up in 's
lab)
Ahh Blob, I am glad you have made it.
Yeah! Dr. Wily's goons almost got you.
Dr. Light! Mega Man! What happended to
all of the Nintendo characters?
The characters that you know and love
cease to exist.
CEASE TO EXIST!?!?!?!?!!?
Yep, totally wiped out.
What happened? And why do you still
exist?
You might have remembered an episode
last year called "The
Good Old Days", in which everybody was converted to NES form.
Yeah, so?
You might have remembered the remote
control device flinging out of Wily's
hand.
I know that. According to the end of
the episode it landed in a beach.
The button on the remote was pressed by Cranky and nothing happened.
Sorry Blob but that hypothesis is,
sadly, wrong. The remote that flew out
of Wily's hand, had a mini flying device which led it back safely to
Dr.
Wily's lab.
And Dr. Wily decided to go to plan B.
And what was plan B?
To make a time machine.
You mean a time-altering device?
No I mean a living breathing
time-machine made with the technology of the
Time-Altering device. Dr. Wily used the additional technology of his
remote
to set the Time Machine to the NES era.
So he traveled back in time?
No. Modern characters can not exist in
the NES era since it has a very
limited color span.
So if you traveled back you would just
degrade into a pile of pixels.
Instead Dr. Wily used the machine to
send blueprints for Nuclear 8B.
Nuclear 8B?
It is a series of towers that will
send out beams to a main connector coming
from a tower at Dr. Wily's lab which would send out a Nuclear blast
that
would eradicate all 8-bit characters in the Area. And when Cranky
pressed
the button on a modified-remote that was planted in the beach by Wily,
it activated the countdown on the towers in the NES era, which sadly
the
length of the countdown was undetermined until now.
If N8B went off in this time, it would
just eliminate the Game Boy characters,
however since it went off in the NES era it had a much more drastic
effect.
When the N8B went off it eradicated
the origins of modern video games as
we know it. It prevented the NES characters
from evolving to SNES and N64 characters.
How did you and Dr. Wily survive?
When the 8-bit Dr. Wily built the N8B
he also built a protective double
8-bit force field around his lab.
Since this force field let off 16 bits
of power, it was not affected by
the blast. Therefore it left Dr. Wily free to take over the world!
It is a lucky thing that I found out
about Wily's plans and I built a duplicate
force field around my lab. Now it is time for us to put a stop to
Wily's
plan.
How do we do that?
I have built a duplicate of Dr. Wily's
Time Machine that is set to one
day before the N8B goes off.
Why only one day?
It's just to add dramatic effect to
the episode.
I made some modifications to the time
machine that would make you into
8-bit form which will prevent you from becoming a pile of pixels.
You will be briefed futher when you
arrive. Good luck Blob.
I will try my best.
(
enters the time machine and he travels back to 's
lab in the NES Era where he and every character from now until the end
of the adventure are in an 8-bit NES form)
Ahh Blob, it is nice to meet you.
(confused) Didn't we already meet?
No you mean the future me. Unlike your
time-altering device and its many
clones, you are actually in a time and place where no-one has any
knowledge
of SNES, N64, or BOTVGH. So watch what you say.
(
arrives with , ,
and )
Hello Blob. Pleased to meet you. Our
future counter parts have told us
so much about your adventures in the BOTVGH.
Well thank you.
Hi Blob. I am Mega Man's sister, Roll.
Well hi, Roll.
(
arrives with )
Good day Mr. Blob. I am Dr. Cossack,
friend of Dr. Light. And this is my
daughter Kalinka.
Hello Blob.
Hello Kalinka.
You may remember Dr. Cossack from
being blackmailed to fight Mega Man in
his fourth adventure. He is now a good friend and he headed the
research
team for Dr. Wily's N8B. Dr. Cossack, will you please brief Blob?
Very well. The N8B consists of 4
towers. Three of the towers are positioned
around the world with the final connector-tower being at Dr. Wily's
lab.
I believe you already know how the N8B works.
Yes, I do.
Good. Your job is to disable all four
towers. Even if one tower is diabled,
Dr. Wily will just have to boost the power to make the N8B funtional
with
the number of towers remaining.
Where are these towers?
The first tower that you will go to is
in the Super Mario Bros. world and
it is guarded by Bowser. The second tower is in the world of Metroid,
guarded
by Mother Brain. The third tower is located in the world of Castlevania
which is guarded by Dracula. And the final tower is at Dr. Wily's lab.
Mega Man here will accompany you on
your quest. And he will bring along
his trusty dog Rush.
Ruff ruff!! Rush do not want to go!
All right Rush, you do not have to go
if you don't want to. Beat will accompany
you then.
Tweet tweet!!
I also recall stories of in certain
BOTVGH adventures that Mega Man has
teamed up with Samus and Link to save Christmas on many occasions.
Blob,
make sure to find them during your adventure.
Well how about letting me sleep until
the next part until we start the
adventure?
Sorry we can't do that. There is only
one day until the N8B blows. You
have to at least disable the first tower before you could even think of
having a break.
Oh
well.
(Reluctantly , ,
and head over to the SMB
World, meanwhile in 's lab...)
Dr.
Wily, our spies have received information that Dr. Light and Mega Man
have sent for a hero from the future. His name is Blob.
It
must be the Blob that my future counter-part has warned me about in
his messages. He knew all along that Dr. Light had built a duplicate of
his machine and he told me to be ready. Cut Man, you go work on that
law
degree that you wanted. And send 10 of my classic robots to stop Mega
Man
and Blob.
Why
not your best robots?
I
have to save those.
(Meanwhile , ,
and arrived at 's
house where and
are visiting)
Ahhhh
Jumpman old buddy. How are you doing?
Fine.
Thank you.
Hey
Mawio and daddy! Mega Man and some blob guy are here.
Ahh,
Blob and Mega Man. Dr. Light told you that you were coming. You want
me to help you beat Bowser, eh?
Right
on. Hey where's Luigi?
He
is off crying somewhere saying that he is not treated fairly in our
games or something. I don't know what he is talking about, he has
co-starred
in every game so far. Well, maybe not Dr. Mario, but that was a puzzle
game and it doesn't count.
You
are some kind of hero Mario.
Yeah.
Who knows..... Maybe one of these days I will wear metallic clothes!
Or
maybe you could put wings on that hat to make you fly better.
What's
wrong with the raccoon tail?!
Nothing!!
Just... wings makes more sense, that's all.
I
would raver prefer that you would wear a cape like Superman.
Who
knows?
(
and enter)
Hi
Blob. Me and Toad baked some cookies for your arrival.
Thanks!
Sorry
Mega Man. We couldn't find any nuts and bolts for you.
That's
all right.
(Suddenly , , , , , , , , ,
& crash into the house!!)
Ha
ha ha! So you thought that you would crash the boss's shocking party?
That
was a chilling idea but it will not happen.
So
do I have to fry you or will you just give up?
Beat!
You know what to do.
Tweet
tweet!!
(
flies away and comes back with a big, ticking box)
Hey
Bomb Man, are your bombs lit?
(checking)
Not me.
Well
who could it be? Crash Man?
My
bombs do not have fuses.
Maybe the noise is coming from
the box.
Then
why don't you check it Air Man?
(
blows open the box with a gust of air)
Oh, it is just a box full of
Bob-ombs.
Wait,
did you say a box full of Bob-ombs?
That's what I said......
I
just remembered that I have to watch Jeopardy!!
Me
too.
Me
three.
Me
four.
Me five!
Me
six.
Me
seven...
You
know, I think I'll go too.
( , , , , , , ,
and leave to watch Jeopardy)
Wait
you don't even like Jeopardy! Well Elec Man, at least we are brave
enough to stay.
You
know, I think "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" is on right now.
(
leaves)
HEY!!!!!
DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALO....
(The s go
off and blows up into a
million pieces)
I
knew that the robots would run off at the sight of bombs.
(
picks up 's head)
This
is just what I need to fix the burner on my stove!!
Hey
Mega Man! There are plenty of nuts and bolts now!
No
thanks Toad. We have to be on our way.
( , , , , ,
& start on their way to
find and the N8B tower)
Hey
shouldn't there be any guards?
(Suddenly
a
pops up)
Ha ha ha. You will never get
past me!
He
has to be kidding! Move to the side everyone.
(
goes to stomp the however
suddenly a hammer comes and hits
in the head)
You
shouldn't have thought that we would be defeated so easily.
It
is the bad guys' turn to win now!
(
then flies in on his cloud)
Hey
guys!! Watch out below!!!
(
drops an egg that hatches into a )
Ha
ha! You can not jump on my spikes Mario!
Who
said jump?
(
blasts , , ,
and )
Just
try and blast my hard shell Mega Man!
He
may not be able to blast you but I know what to do!
(Using
his strength,
bashes )
Well
at least I am still here....
We
can fix that..... Beat?
Tweet
tweet!!
(
flies over to and pecks
at his eyes)
OUCH!!!
A robotic bird just pecked me! I knew I should've gotten windows
for this thing!
(
flies away)
Hey
you still have to get me!
And
me!
Don't
forget about me!
Wait
a second! You guys are just figments of my imagination!
Oh
yeah!
( , ,
disappear)
I
guess nothing else can go wrong......
(Suddenly
cannons
fire)
Think
again Blob boy!!
Quick,
into the lake!!!!!
(Everyone
jumps into
the lake where they are not alone)
Hey
Mario I'm pleased you can keep us company!
So
why don't you stay awhile?
I
don't think so fishies.
You
know squids are not fish.
OHHHHHH!
A wise guy.
(
and charge at the gang)
Not
so fast!
(
blasts and )
Okay.
I think that Bowser has the N8B at his castle, which is through that
pipe over there.
How
convienent.......
(The gang
goes through
the pipe and they head into the castle and they meet up with )
Mwa
ha ha! You and your friends will never defeat me this time Mario!!
Well
all we have to do is collapse the bridge that you are standing on.
I
knew that you would have thought about that, Mario. That is why I have
made this protective brick wall that only.... say a bird can
go through!!
A
bird!!! I don't think I have one of those!
(Suddenly
pops up)
TWEET
TWEET!!!
(
flies though the hole in the wall and touches the Axe, collapsing the
bridge)
Oh
bother!
(
falls into the pit)
Okay,
the tower is on the other end of the pit.
How
can we get past with the bridge collapsed?
Tweet
tweet!!
(
carries everybody over the pit to the other side)
BOY!!
There are sure big muscles in that little robotic body.
I
see the tower!
(
goes over to the tower and disables it)
Well
it is one down and three to go. Me and Mega Man have to get going.
Well
I will be glad to lend a hand.
I
will stay and take apart this tower so it cannot be re-activated.
Daddy?
Can I join Mr. Blob on his avensure?
Sure
son. Maybe it will give you some more Hero training. Who knows
maybe one day you will go on to star in your very
own series of video games that will even be better than the ones Mario
stars in.
I
don't like the sound of that.
And
can I have a little monkey as my best friend??
Who
knows we will just have to wait and see.
Well
let's get going.
(After
successfully
disabling one of the towers for the N8B, ,
and are joined by
and in their
adventure. What
challenges
lay next for our heroes? Stay tuned next time for part 2 of THE QUEST
TO
SAVE THE PAST!!)
