Electric Nightmare

(At the city's main powerplant on the edge of town, an uninvited figure approaches...)
GUARD: It's Brightman!!
BRIGHTMAN: Oh, that's right, gentlemen. And I'm here to light up your lives!
(Brightman turns on his Flash Stopper. The intense light is enough to knock out the guards. 
Wily's Skullcar is floating overhead)
PROTOMAN: Brightman has taken out the power company guards.
DR WILY: Good. Now, I'll take out the power company! Pwahaha!
(Wily fires a ray from the Skullcar, blowing open the gates. Brightman enters the plant with 
Cutman and Gutsman, and subdue the other workers. Wily flies the Skullcar inside and parks near 
a large computer)
DR WILY: (to Protoman) Attach the override relay to the master control computer.
(Wily hands the device to Protoman, who gets out, pries open a panel on the computer, and hooks 
up the device)
DR WILY: Muahaha! I've done it! Now, I can control everything that runs on electricity with this 
single joystick!!
(Megaman enters the plant)
MEGAMAN: I'd hate to take the "joy" out of your joystick, Dr. Wily, but I'm afraid you're not in 
control yet!
DR WILY: Destroy him!!
CUTMAN: I'm going to make paper dolls out of you! 
(Cutman shoots his blade. Megaman jumps over it, and kicks Cutman in the face, knocking him 
across the room. Megaman then turns to Gutsman)
MEGAMAN: Hey, Gutsman. What do you shout when you're cutting down a tree?
GUTSMAN: Uh..."timber"?
MEGAMAN: If you insist...
(Cutman's blade has arced back around and cuts through Gutsman's legs. Megaman blows on him, and 
he topples over. Brightman then appears holding a camera)
BRIGHTMAN: Smile, mega-twerp! I want to get a picture of your last moment on Earth!
(He turns the Flash Stopper on, but Megaman recalls a visor from under his helmet)
MEGAMAN: Thanks for the rays, now I'll have to tan your hide!
(Megaman drop-kicks Brightman, then takes a picture of him with the camera)
MEGAMAN: You really got a charge out of that one.
DR WILY: And I'm going to get a charge out of THIS!
(Wily operates his joystick. A dozen wires snap free and wrap around Megaman)
MEGAMAN: Hey!...What's happening?!
DR WILY: The end of Megaman is what's happening! Heheheheh!!
(The wires start to electrify Megaman)
MEGAMAN: Nooo! No...
(Megaman explodes)
DR WILY: Hahahahaha! I've done it!! I've destroyed Megaman!!! Buahahahaaha...!
PROTOMAN'S VOICE: HEY!! I thought I told you I wanted to destroy my brother!!
(Scene switches back to Skull Fortress. That last scene was simply a little war game Wily and his
robots were playing)
DR WILY: Stop! What do you think you're doing?
(Protoman picks up the miniature toy Skullcar and starts crushing it)
PROTOMAN: I'm tired of playing this stupid game with your little puppets!
DR WILY: *sigh* Alright, alright! You can destroy Megaman during the REAL operation!
PROTOMAN: Now you're talking, Doc!
(Protoman shoots the game board)
DR WILY: Prepare to leave at once for the power station! We'll show Dr. Light and those 
robo-fools who the real genius is! Isn't that right, my little pet?
(Wily strokes a toaster he's holding, which wiggles around by itself)
(Meanwhile, at a local science exposition)
DR LIGHT: ...Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to unveil my latest 9000-series domestic robots.
(Unveils a set of three household robots)
DR LIGHT: First, there's Deloris, the robo-nanny. She feeds and changes diapers in one easy 
operation. Then, there's Morris, the robo-butler. He can pick out your clothes, and doubles as a 
choeffer. Finally, there's Dorris, the robo-maid. She cooks and cleans, and never complains!
DORRIS: But I don't do windows.
DR LIGHT: Well, ALMOST never complains...
(Applause from audience)
ROLL: (to Megaman) I'm glad Dr. Light designed a better robo-maid. Now I'll have more time to 
concentrate on being a robo-hero!
(Shows off a couple of fancy fighting moves)
MEGAMAN: (holds up a broom) No offense, Roll, but I think you'd better stick to your housework...
(Roll karate-chops the broom in half. Rush, meanwhile, is enjoying the scent of the food Dorris 
is holding. He sits by her and begs)
DORRIS: Not so fast, mecha-mutt!
(Dorris whacks Rush with her feather duster, which causes him to sneeze, toppling over all three 
servent-bots.)
DR LIGHT: Bad robo-dog! What am I going to do about your constant misbehaving?
MEGAMAN: Try designing a robo-dogcatcher.
(An explosion is heard in the distance)
ROLL: What was that?!
DR LIGHT: Sounded like an explosion.
MEGAMAN: C'mon, Rush! Let's check it out!
(Rush morphs into he jet form and Megaman takes off. He arrives at the power plant)
MEGAMAN: Someone's broken into the power plant. (to Rush) Better switch to stealth mode.
(Rush sprouts spongy pads that he wears on his feet as he and Megaman enter the plant. Meanwhile,
Wily's robots are infiltrating the plant, just like in the war game)
DR WILY: Get ready to attach the override relay to the master computer.
(Protoman jumps out with the device, but is cut off by Megaman)
PROTOMAN: Megaman! You're late! You got here 30 seconds earlier in our war game.
MEGAMAN: Sorry to disappoint you, robo-bro. Did I win or lose?
BRIGHTMAN: You were destroyed, by me!
MEGAMAN: Really? In that case, I'll have to return the favor.
(Brightman's Flash Stopper turns on. Megaman holds up a mirror, shining the intense light back 
in Brightman's face, which stuns him)
MEGAMAN: Plasma power!
(Megaman shoots Brightman, who goes flying into a cluster of machines.)
DR WILY: Don't let him get your Flash Stopper, you fool!
(Megaman screws the lightbulb from Brightman's head. Protoman starts firing at Megaman. Megaman 
runs behind a machine)
MEGAMAN: Rush, fetch!
(He throws the lightbub to Rush who catches it, and shines the light in Protoman, Cutman, and 
Gutsman's faces, driving them away)
DR WILY: You fools! I'll have to attach the override relay myself!
(A mechanical arm emerges from the Skullcar, takes the relay from Protoman, and plugs it into 
the computer. Megaman, meanwhile, climbs up and takes a steam duct, then shoves it into the 
Skullcar's vents. The steam pressure build-up destroys the Skullcar, but not before Wily gets 
away in an escape pod.)
DR WILY: I'll be back, Megaman. And next time, you won't be so lucky!
(Back at Skull Fortress, Wily debriefs his henchmen...)
DR WILY: How dare you let that titanium troublemaker stop me!! You're nothing but heaps of
useless chips!!
GUTSMAN: But...
DR WILY: NO BUTS!!! Lucky for you, I have an emergency plan. I've placed a spy in Dr. Light's 
lab. Soon, Megaman will be of no more concern to me than a fly on the wall!
(At Dr. Light's lab, Megaman gets cleaned up)
MORRIS: Care to brush your titanium teeth, sir?
MEGAMAN: No thanks, Morris. The only thing that can give me cavities is dynamite! 
(Morris leaves)
MEGAMAN: But I could use a good cleaning after a dirty battle with Dr. Wily.
(Meanwhile, outside somebody bars the door to the bathroom, locking Megaman inside. The person 
then burns a hole in the door, and sticks a hose inside...)
MEGAMAN: I'm a clean, mean, mega-machine! 
(He turns around and sees acid flowing into the bathroom)
MEGAMAN: Huh? Oh no, it's acid!
(He tries the door)
MEGAMAN: It's locked from the outside.
(He shoots the door. No good)
MEGAMAN: And Dr. Light reenforced the lab with super-steel to keep Dr. Wily out. Only now, it's 
keeping me in! If I don't get out of here fast, this acid will eat right through my titanium 
skin. Hey! In here!! Dr. Light!!
(Meanwhile, Dr. Light is in his lab working on a project when the lights start to flicker on and 
off. Dr. Light looks at the light curiously. At the power plant, Wily has returned. Protoman and 
Pharaohman have again taken out the guards, and have attached Wily's relay to the computer.)
DR WILY: At last! Now, I control everything connected to the power grid.
(Wily notices a guard scrambling to a phone)
GUARD: We're under attack by Dr. Wily! Send in the army!
(Wily's voice cackles over the phone instead)
DR WILY: I think you've got a wrong number!
(Wily uses his newfound power to string up the guard with the phone wires.)
DR WILY: With everything under my control, and Megaman out of the way, the world is MINE!! 
(Back at Dr. Light's, the bathroom is almost completely flooded with acid.)
MEGAMAN: I've only got a few seconds left...
(Dr. Light happens to walk by the bathroom)
DR LIGHT: Now why would anyone bar the OUTSIDE of the bathroom door...? Oh no!
(Dr. Light takes a laser pen out of his pocket and cuts the bar free. The bathroom door opens,
dumping out the acid, along with Megaman.)
MEGAMAN: Good timing, Dr. Light. Another second, and I would've been Mega-mush!
(Roll and Rush run up)
ROLL: Megaman! What happened?
MEGAMAN: Someone tried to dissolve me.
DR LIGHT: It appears we've got a spy in the lab.
ROLL: Oh, swell. But who?
(Dr. Light's servents show up)
MORRIS: Can we be of any further assistance, sir?
DR LIGHT: Yes, please clean up this mess.
DORRIS: Right away, sir.
MEGAMAN: I've got a sneaking suspicion the butler did it.
(An alarm goes off)
DR LIGHT: There's no time to worry about that. Somethng's coming in over the emergency satelite
scanner!
(They run to the lab and turn on the video phone monitor)
EVENS: Dr. Light! This is Captain Evens of Central Station. They city is being overrun by 
everything that isn't nailed down! The police force can't stop it! We need Megaman's help! Now!
(He gets grabbed by a desk lamp)
EVENS: Aaaaaa!
(The monitor goes out)
DR LIGHT: Dr. Wily is using the electricity to control everything in the city!
MEGAMAN: So, that's what he was doing at the power plant.
DR LIGHT: We must figure out some way to stop him...
MEGAMAN: C'mon Rush, we've got to help those innocent people! Rush?
(Megaman looks around. Rush is gone. On the other side of the lab, Rush is following a trail of 
energy biscuits on the ground. Eventually, Dorris corners him.)
DORRIS: Nice doggy...
(Rush whimpers as she opens him up, and sticks a circuit card inside him. Rush instanty starts
scratching his head afterward.)
DORRIS: There, there doggy, it's just a flea. *snicker*
(Megaman finds Rush)
MEGAMAN: I've been looking all over for you! We've got work to do!
(Rush morphs)
MEGAMAN: Let's burn paws!
(They race into the night. Dorris watches for a moment)
DORRIS: So long, Megaman...
(Megaman and Rush make it into town)
MEGAMAN: We'll be there any second, Rush! Rush?
(Rush starts to flip out)
MEGAMAN: Rush, what's gotten into yo...aaaahhhhhh!!
(Rush starts to speed through town, flinging Megaman around violently.)
MEGAMAN: Rush!! SLOW DOWN!!
(Finally, he stops, and Megaman is flung into an ally.)
MEGAMAN: What...was that all about?
(Cutman and Gutsman appear)
CUTMAN: It's about US taking care of YOU!
GUTSMAN: Alright, you metal-meddler. Get ready to join the junk heap!
(Gutsman swings at Megaman. He jumps over Gutsman and shoots a sign, which falls on Gutsman.)
CUTMAN: I'm cutting you to pieces; it's going to be shear delight!!
(Cutman fires his blade at Megaman, who jumps backward to dodge it.)
MEGAMAN: There's no time to play with these clowns. We've got a city to save! Let's go, Rush!
(He hops on Rush, who starts to take off, then turns around and dumps Megaman off right in front
of Gutsman and Cutman.)
MEGAMAN: What'd you do that for?!
GUTSMAN: 'Cause he's an obedient mutt. Ain't that right, flea-brain?
(He mock-pets Rush)
CUTMAN: I'm going to trim your lights, blue-boy!
GUTSMAN: And I'm gonna' flatten you!
MEGAMAN: Don't I get a say in this?
CUTMAN: Sure! What'll it be? A clip job?
GUTSMAN: Or a pounding?
MEGAMAN: How about both at the same time?
(Megaman grabs a garbage can and throws it over Cutman, then takes the lid and shoves it in
Gutsman's face. Both of them, blinded, start ripping each other apart.)
MEGAMAN: I couldn've done it better myself! (turns to Rush) What's wrong, fella?
(He opens Rush up and removes the card)
MEGAMAN: This circuit card was controlling you. And my hunch is, whoever did this is the one who
gave me an acid bath...
(People run past, being chased by a vaccum cleaner)
MEGAMAN: Unfortunatly, there's no time to worry about that now! Come on!
(Meanwhile, at Gizmo City, a local appliance store, all of the electronic gadgets in the store
are running amok, terrorizing the customers. One man is fleeing from an out-of-control exercise
bike. Dr. Wily's face appears in the monitor in front of him.)
DR WILY: What's the matter? A little exercise never hurt anyone. Pwahahaha!
(Megaman brusts through the doors)
MEGAMAN: Whatever you're up to, Wily, Dr. Light and I are going to stop it!
DR WILY: Megaman! I thought my spy took care of you!
MEGAMAN: Sorry to disappoint you.
DR WILY: Oh, you didn't. I'd much rather destroy you myself!
(Wily's monitor goes out and Megaman is tackled by the exercise bike. The other appliances also
start to chase Megaman.)
MEGAMAN: I'd better beat it before I become the blue plate special!
(Megaman starts destroying the mad appliances. A clerk being assaulted by another exercise 
machine calles for help. Megaman runs up to him, but he gets waylaid by a ball server.)
MEGAMAN: Time to practice my backhand...
(Megaman grabs a raquet off the wall, and hits the balls back, tipping the machine over. As he
and Rush fight off the machines, Roll also arrives at the store)
ROLL: Mega and Rush sound like they're in trouble. Good thing I got here in time. Mega! Where
are you!
(As Roll walks through the store, Wily's face appears on another monitor)
DR WILY: Welcome to the cosmetics department, Roll!
(A robot grabs Roll and throws he into a chair, strapping her down.)
ROLL: Hey! Let me go!
DR WILY: Not before I give you a...beauty treatment! Hahahaha!
(The robot extends an arm with a powderpuff on it.)
ROLL: Get that oversized powerpuff our of my face!
(On the other side of the store, another man is having trouble with more machines, as soda
machine and a lawnmower. Megaman appears from behind the counter)
MEGAMAN: Soda machine's out of order, huh? 
(He kicks it)
MEGAMAN: That fixed it.
MAN: Megaman! Behind you!
(Megaman turns around a grabs the mower, then uses it to chop up some other appliances with it.)
MEGAMAN: I doubt that's covered under warranty!
ROLL'S VOICE: No! Stop!
MEGAMAN: Roll!
(Megaman confronts the cosmetics robot who's still painting Roll's face)
MEGAMAN: I don't think you've got the color right...
(The robot charges Megaman, but he dodges and grabs a bottle of makeup and throws it at her.)
MEGAMAN: There. That's better.
(He frees Roll from the chair)
MEGAMAN: I'll handle her.
ROLL: No, she's mine!
(Roll sprouts a blade arm and cuts up the cosmetics robot)
ROLL: Feeling kind of low? You could use a face lift!
(She switches to her vaccum arm and pulls the robot's face off. Rush then runs up, chased by more
appliances)
ROLL: There's too many of them!
MEGAMAN: Our only chance is for Dr. Light to find a way to stop them at the source.
(They flee the store, chased by more machines, and into a subway station, where they get on the
train)
ROLL: *whew* That was too close!
MEGAMAN: This train wil take us back to the lab safely.
(Suddenly the train starts gaining speed more and more, lurching violently)
ROLL: Dr. Wily's got control of the train!
MEGAMAN: We've got to get off!
ROLL: But how?
(Rush changes into a hangglider, allowing them to safely jump from the train.)
MEGAMAN: Hey, good boy, Rush.
(Another train starts racing at them  on the other track)
MEGAMAN: It's coming back!
ROLL: There must be somewhere Wily can't catch us!
(Megaman opens up a nearby grating)
MEGAMAN: Quick, down here!
(They jump inside, into a sewer.)
MEGAMAN: That way.
(As they make their way to the lab, the governor is making an announcement on TV from his 
mansion)
GOVERNOR: ...And so, I am stepping down as your governor, and turning over the state to Dr. Wily.
(Wily immediatly throws the governor out as he appears on cameras)
DR WILY: And, as my first official act of business, I'm placing my trusted friends in all key 
positions. You can relax now! (his robots also appear on screen with him) You're all in good 
hands! Pwahahaha!
(Dr. Light is back at the lab, watching as he's working on a device)
DR LIGHT: I've got to stop that maniac, before he can do any more harm. Ah, there. This should
do the trick...
(As he finishes his device, someone appears from behind, ready to grab him. It's Dorris. Megaman
also arrives at the lab)
MEGAMAN: Dr. Light! Look out!
(Megaman tackles Dorris, who morphs into a fighting uniform, and her dustpan into a blaster)
DORRIS: Hasta-la-vista, Megaman!
(Roll kicks a bucket at her, knocking the gun out of her hand. Megaman then takes a broom and
beats her apart with it. After he's finished, Dorris's parts are in a heap on the floor, 
muttering gibberish.)
ROLL: Heh, for a house-keeping robot, she sure can make a mess!
DR LIGHT: Megaman, if you can attach this device to the power grid, we can shut down Dr. Wily's
control circuits! It's our only chance. You've got to get through.
MEGAMAN: I'll do my best...
(Meanwhile, the machines continue their rampage across town. Gutsman "assures" the public over
a loudspeaker)
GUTSMAN: Do not be alarmed! Governor Wily is now controlling the entire city! You will all be
given further instructions by the governor's robot officers. On second thought, I guess you 
SHOULD be alarmed! Hehhahahahaha!!
(Megaman makes his way across town to the power plant. Little does he know he's being watched by
Wily's security cameras)
DR WILY: That little blue dweeb thinks he can sneak past ME, does he? Well, I've got a surprise
for him! (speaks through the police radio to the robo-police) Attention all police robo-units!
Megaman is heading east on Jupiter Street. Intercept and destroy!
(Megaman is soon cornered by robotic police officers. Megaman takes a sign and hits a trash can
with it, sending it flying into an officer, knocking him into a nearby manhole)
MEGAMAN: Robo-officer in the side pocket. Yes!
(More officers surround him)
MEGAMAN: Uh...no. (hops on top of a fire hydrant) I guess there's only one thing to do when you
can't trust the police department...(he turns on the hydrant, blasting the officers with water)
MEGAMAN: ...Call the fire department!
(With the officers subdued, Megaman arrives at the plant, but Protoman is waiting)
PROTOMAN: Not so fast, little brother.
MEGAMAN: If you're REALLY my brother, Protoman, you'll do the right thing and let me stop Dr.
Wily's crazy scheme!
PROTOMAN: It wouldn't seem so crazy if you'd join us, bro.
MEGAMAN: Not a chance!
PROTOMAN: Have it your way...
(Protoman shoots Megaman with his blaster, sending him flying into a utility vehicle)
MEGAMAN: Woah, that really stings my circuits! (pulls a lever inside the truck) This 'ought to 
fix Protoman.
(The lever controls the bucket in the truck, which picks up Protoman, and hurls him into a 
dumpster. Megaman hurries insode the plant, locating the power grid. He gets out Dr. Light's
device)
MEGAMAN: This had better work...
(He attaches the device, and sure enough, all of the appliances in the city shut down. Back at
the governor's mansion, Wily is noticing the change...)
DR WILY: W...what's happening? I'm...losing control!
(Megaman bursts into the room)
MEGAMAN: You mean you've LOST control!
DR WILY: Why you overgrown circuit-breaker...PHARAOHMAN!
(Pharaohman comes into the room)
DR WILY: Destroy Megaman!!
PHARAOHMAN: So you command, so it shall be done...
(He fires a hot red beam from his blaster, knocking Megaman out the window. Pharaohman follows)
PHARAOHMAN: Now, to finish you off.
(Megaman dodges the next blast and starts to run. Pharaohman persues him, but as he passes the
fountain, Megaman jumps out and copies the Pharaoh Shot)
MEGAMAN: Now I've got your power!
(Pharaohman knockes Megaman on the ground, and picks up the top of the fountain, trying to drop
it on Megaman)
MEGAMAN: You're out of your league, Pharaohman! 
(He aims Pharaohman's weapon at the fountain piece he's holding, and the blast knocks Pharaohman
a long ways away)
MEGAMAN: Going...gone!
(Wily flies up in the Skullcar)
DR WILY: You haven't seen the last of me, Megaman! I'll be back!!
(He flies away)
MEGAMAN: And I'll be waiting.
(Back at Light's lab...)
MEGAMAN: Looks like Dr. Wily won't be bothering us for a while.
ROLL: But what if he tries to get control of the power grid again?
DR LIGHT: He can't. The device I made had a securty circuit built into it.
MEGAMAN: Now that Dr. Wily's taken care of, what about his robo-spy, Dorris?
ROLL: Oh, don't worry about her; I reprogrammed her into Rush's personal servent!
(Rush barks at Dorris)
DORRIS: Yes sir, mister doggy-sir.
(She throws a biscuit to Rush. He eats it, then barks again)
DORRIS: Right away sir, mister doggy-sir.
(Dorris puts a leash on Rush. Rush then truns into his jet form and takes off, dragging Dorris
behind him...)
