Mega Man 8 Script

Script from the game Mega Man 8.

Scene 1: Prologue
(Far out in space, two glowing, fiery beings are seen in battle, one blue and one purple. The purple figure dashes at the blue and catches him on the side, then they both dash towards each other, meeting in a large explosion. The purple figure tries to escape by hurtling down to Earth, but the blue one follows close behind. Meanwhile, another battle is going on between Mega Man and Bass. Bass rides on Treble's back while Mega Man rides on Rush.)

Bass: Mega Man, today we finish this!

Mega Man: Hey Bass, why must I fight you? We are not enemies!

Bass: Shut up!

(Bass fires a Buster shot at Mega Man, who dodges it and returns a shot that knocks Bass and Treble back into the side of a building. Roll appears in a small ship to deliver news to her brother.)

Roll: Mega Man!

Mega Man: Roll!

Roll: Mega Man, hurry! You must come with me!

Bass: You can't leave yet!

(Bass tries to fire again, but his Buster is caught in a bunch of wires.)

Mega Man: Rush Jet!

(Rush activates his jet thrusters.)

Mega Man: Bass, we'll have to take care of this some other time.

Bass: No!

(Bass frees his Buster by firing up into the air.)

Bass: Don't run away, coward. You'll pay for this insult. I'll be back...

(Mega Man and Roll fly over the city in the ship.)

Mega Man: Dr. Light, what is the problem?

Dr. Light: A strange meteor has struck the Earth just a while ago. This meteor seems to be emitting a powerful energy signature. Something this powerful must not fall into the hands of evil.

Mega Man: I understand, Dr. Light. I'm on it.

Dr. Light: Thank you, Mega Man. If you can, please bring the meteor back.

Mega Man: OK!

(Scene fades out.)

Scene 2: A Robot?
(Mega Man teleports to the beginning of the area close to the "meteor"'s crash site and Rush appears to deliver a message from Dr. Light.)

Dr. Light: ... Megaman! Can you hear me? I've searched the island, but can't find it on any map. It's a creepy island. Be careful, Megaman. Your new weapon is ready. Take it with you! It's called the "Mega Ball". You can kick it to attack the enemies! It's a powerful weapon!

Mega Man: Thank you, Dr. Light!

(Mega Man fights through the area until he comes to the crater made by the meteor, but Dr. Wily has already collected the mysterious energy and hovers above the site in a flying saucer.)

Mega Man: Dr. Wily?! Why are you here?

Dr. Wily: Megaman, so you've come! How did you find my secret base? I'm impressed! But you're too late! I've just found something that's more powerful than this base! Ha! Ha! Ha! Now the world is mine! Gotcha!

(Dr. Wily flies away in his saucer.)

Mega Man: Wait! Wily! I've got to go after him!

(Mega Man looks down into the crater and sees a damaged robot inside.)

Mega Man: What's this? A robot? ... It's still alive. I must help it!

(Rush appears again with another message from Dr. Light.)

Dr. Light: ...man! Megaman! Can you hear me!? Is anything going on?

Mega Man: Yes, Dr.! I've found a robot.

Dr. Light: What? Okay, I understand! I'll go there and pick it up. You go after Wily!

(Scene fades out.)

Scene 3: Mystery of the Evil Energy
(After defeating the first four Robot Masters, Mega Man checks into the lab.)

Mega Man: Dr. Light, how's it going? Will he be OK?

Dr. Light: I'm almost finished. The battery will be charged in 10 minutes.

Mega Man: That's good. By the way, what do you make of these?

(Mega Man gives Dr. Light the dark energy specimens he had collected from the Robot Masters.)

Dr. Light: ... These? These seem to be energy resources... but I've never seen this type on Earth. I don't know where this energy came from, but we cannot let it fall into Dr. Wily's hands. You must recover all the energy immediately, Mega Man.

Mega Man: But where is Dr. Wily?

Dr. Light: That's a good question. We may be able to locate another energy emission from the radar room. When we find that meteor, we'll find Dr. Wily.

(Mega Man and Dr. Light exit the room. The mysterious robot wakes up and examines his hand before looking around the room. He sees the container with the evil energy and picks it up, remembering the battle with the other purple robot. He crushes the container in his hand and watches as the evil energy dissipates.

???: He... he still lives...

(The robot glows and transforms into the fiery figure from the beginning of the game before smashing through the ceiling and flying away. Mega Man and Dr. Light come running back into the room.)

Mega Man: What the...!

Dr. Light: Mega Man, you must go after him! We don't know who he is, and it could be dangerous to leave him alone!

Mega Man: Yes sir! Let's go, Rush!

(Mega Man jumps on Rush Jet and begins pursuing the robot.)
