Forbidden Island (禁断の地 Kindan no Chi, "Forbidden Land") is a northern ice cap island from the Mega Man Legends series that is surrounded by a violent storm with blizzard like weather that prevents anyone to access it. According to the in-game map, Forbidden Island is located exactly at Terra's North Pole.

Story[]

Several years ago, when MegaMan Trigger tried to fulfill the Master's dying wish, he fought against Elysium. As time passed, Yuna tried to take a neutral position between MegaMan and Elysium. Frustrated with Yuna's decision, Sera traveled to Terra herself to fight MegaMan. However, Sera wasn't able to bring her full power outside of Elysium, and the two fought each other to a standstill, each expending all their energy.[1] Yuna took that opportunity to seal them away inside stasis fields, Sera being sealed with Geetz on the land that would become known by Carbons as Forbidden Island, while MegaMan and Data were sealed on Nino Island. Yuna and Gatz stayed on Forbidden Island, warning and preventing anyone from reaching the seal that held Sera, and when Yuna finds someone inside the island, she puts them into hibernation.[2] As the years passed, a graveyard was made in Yosyonke City for those who went to the island and did not return.

The island had a violent storm whose winds turned away any conventional airship, and attempting to force a ship into the storm surrounding the island almost certainly resulted in that ship's destruction, or it became lost in the storm, never to be seen again. Barrell Caskett and Verner Von Bluecher discovered that there is an "eye" directly above the center of the island, where the wind velocity is relatively lighter. Seeing that any ship attempting to land on the island would have to use it as an entry point, they decided to design a ship with a rounded aerodynamic hull that was reinforced to withstand the atmospheric pressure above the island. But, in spite of all their efforts and precautions, they failed. They were able to land on the island, but their ship was destroyed, leaving them without a means to leave. They decided to make the best of the situation, and explored Forbidden Island as best we could, being surprised to find Reaverbots active above ground. Having lost most of their equipment, they were hard pressed to fend off their attacks. Struggling against both Reaverbots and the weather, they made their way to the center of the island, where they found a strange, diamond-shaped object (Sera's seal), floating in midair. But by the time they found it, they were at their limit. While Barrell was losing consciousness, he was aware of someone approaching them, seemingly a small girl (Yuna), as it was hard for him to tell what he saw due to the snow and the encroaching darkness on his vision. When they recovered, they were on the outskirts of Yosyonke City, without knowing how they got there. After that, several Diggers tried to reach Forbidden Island, but none returned.[3]

Barrell told about his adventures to his little daughter, Matilda Caskett. As Matilda loved the mystery behind Forbidden Island, Matilda and her husband, Banner, tried to enter the island by using a Dropship designed by Banner, and left their daughter, Roll Caskett, in Barrell's care, in case something went wrong, sending him a letter a day before.[4] Unfortunately, something did went wrong, and when Yuna found Matilda, she was dying. Yuna transferred some of the nanotechnology from her body to save Matilda, but required so much energy and parts from her body that she could no longer move. Without choice, Yuna needed to borrow Matilda's body until her own body was repaired, leaving her body inside the damaged Dropship.[5] As for Banner, he somehow managed to escape from Forbidden Island. Maria found him badly injured and with amnesia near Yosyonke City, and took care of him. Banner, now called Joe, knew he left something important on the island, but he could not remember what. Having the blueprints of the Dropship with him, Joe started working on it compulsively to reach the island.

Over the years, Bluecher spent his entire fortune to create the Sulphur-Bottom, a giant airship that could be used to explore the island without being affected by its weather, as he believed that the island was the location of the Mother Lode. After it was completed, Bluecher invited Barrell to accompany him. Thirty years after Barrell and Bluecher returned from the island and ten years after the disappearance of Matilda and Banner, in the beginning of Mega Man Legends 2, Bluecher and Barrell return to the island with the Sulphur-Bottom, Bluecher holding a press conference before starting their expedition. Yuna, in Matilda's body, appears disguised as a Kattelox TV reporter, and when she is discovered, she warns them that the island may hold a great catastrophe instead of a great treasure before leaving. Bluecher ignores her warning, and after the damage is fixed and all reporters left, except for four "reporters" that decided to stay for the story, they proceed. Gatz tries to make them leave, but unintentionally damaged the Sulphur-Bottom's engine to prevent its approach, with the ship getting stuck in the maelstrom. As the Flutter can't approach Forbidden Island, Roll and MegaMan Volnutt decided to make the Dropship designed by Banner so MegaMan can go to the island to rescue the ship and its crew. In Yosyonke City, they met Joe, who had almost completed his Dropship, and as he was injured, he allowed them to use it, feeling that they would have a better chance than him.

While exploring Forbidden Island to rescue the Sulphur-Bottom, MegaMan is attacked by several Reaverbots. The island contains the remains of several airships that had attempted to enter the island, including Banner's old Dropship, which has Yuna's body inside and people in hibernation close by. After MegaMan defeats the Rush Mammoo near the seal containing Sera, the seal is undone and the storm that used to sweep Forbidden Island stops entirely, along with any and all Reaverbot activity. Yuna and Gatz stop overseeing the island afterwards, releasing the persons they left on hibernation on the outskirts of Yosyonke.[2] Sera, Geetz, and MegaMan are taken inside the Sulphur-Bottom, leading to the search for the four keys to the Mother Lode. When revisiting the island afterwards in any circumstances, the island will be empty, with no sign of Reaverbots. The Flutter can also land at the Forbidden island without any problems.
