Mega Man ZX Advent Script (Ashe's story)

Script from the game Mega Man ZX Advent, Ashe's storyline only (See also: Grey's storyline).

Scene 1: A New Bounty
(The scene opens as two Hunters pace inside of a large airship. Another Hunter enters.)

Nicol: ...Alright, you guys! Are you ready?

Lazarus: You still don't see that Raider airship yet? We're getting jumpy!

Nicol: Calm down. I'll go check on the mission now. The client is the illustrious coalition government, Legion. Some top world leaders want the help of us, a lowly hunter's guild. Do you know what Biometal is?

Red: Yeah, I heard that it's some kind of cursed stone that eats human spirits.

Lazarus: Ha! That's a good one! I bet Legion has a huge bounty on that.

Nicol: They say that some Biometal was found in some ruins. Found by those illegal Hunters who don't belong to the guild. Our mission is to take back the Biometal and bring it to Legion Headquarters.

Lazarus: So now that your appetites have be whet for booty, let's get this show on the road! This time I'm gonna beat Ashe to the treasure! By the way, where is she?

???: Uh... Ahem! Everyone! Calm down!

Nicol: That voice... Ashe, is that you? Where are you?

Ashe: It was getting kinda hot in there, so I went outside to cool off. We've almost caught up to the Raider airship with the bounty on it. I'm going to go ahead and meet our booty face to face.

Lazarus: Hey, Ashe! That's no fair. You always take all the action. When...

(Ashe doesn't pay attention to Lazarus but looks down off the edge of the airship.)

Ashe: Unngh. Hmm... Bingo. OK! Let's put everything we've got into it!

(Ashe runs to the other side of the airship and jumps off. After a long fall, she lands on the Raider airship and contacts the other Hunters.)

Ashe: This is Ashe, I've successfully docked with the airship. Time to find out where the booty is.

Nicol: Aw, man... Doesn't she know by now that the booty is always in the lead airship? We always go in from the back and end up messing it all up!

Ashe: You guys be careful! OK, here we go! It's on!

(Ashe continues through the until she sees some Mavericks.)

Ashe: ...!? This is Ashe. Do you see any Mavericks on the radar?

Lazarus: It looks like there's a Mechaniloid ship among them! They could be after the Biometal!

Ashe: Yeah, could be. Looks like the competition is high this time. Everyone, be careful!

(Ashe continues until she encounters a large Mechaniloid and then destroys it. She lands on the lead airship.)

Ashe: I've landed! OK, I guess the booty is inside.

(Ashe runs towards the door but stops when she sees a male Reploid standing in front of it.)

???: It seems the Biometal has attracted a bug. Shoo, pest!

Ashe: Hey, what did you just call me!? You've got some nerve, talking to me like that. You don't look like a Hunter... Are you after the Biometal?

???: Don't group me together with those money-hungry Hunters. You're not worthy of the Biometal! Why don't you just go away?

Nicol: Sorry! We can't do that!

(The other Hunters run up to stand beside Ashe.)

Lazarus: We finally made it. Let us join the party!

Red: Who the heck is this guy? A Hunter? A Maverick?

Ashe: Everybody be careful! He's not just anybody!

???: *sigh* How irritating! OK, prepare to draw your last breaths!

(The Reploid activates his beam scythe.)

Prometheus: I am Prometheus, and I control the power of this Biometal... The power of Mega Man!

(Prometheus dashes forward and attacks the group. The scene fades to white.)

Scene 2: Hunter's Camp
(Ashe wakes up on a bed inside a room.)

Ashe: Uh... What is this place?

(Ashe sits up as Nicol walks in.)

Nicol: Hey, you're awake. These Hunters... They helped you. They found you unconscious outside. Luckily you were near Hunter's Camp.

(Ashe stands up.)

Ashe: Um, what happened to our booty... the Biometal!?

Nicol: They managed to recover the whole container and bring it here! I told them everything that happened with the airship and all that... They're planning to take it by train to Legion Headquarters.

Ashe: What? Are they planning to collect on our bounty?

Nicol: Is that what you're worried about? You should consider yourself lucky just to be alive. If you had that Biometal, that Prometheus guy might come looking for you. Sorry, I don't care if the client is Legion, it ain't worth it!

Ashe: Oh, you're pathetic! I'll follow the train by myself if I have to! On top of being called a bug, there's no way I'm going to give up that bounty!

Nicol: Oh, brother! There's just no changing you. If you want to go that bad, I won't try to stop you. Before you go, why don't you save your data, just in case? There's a transerver next door. Follow me!

(Nicol walks out of the room. Ashe follows him to the transerver.)

Nicol: Hm? It looks like you lost your Hunter's License. So you should go to the transerver and have it reissued. If you don't have your Hunter's License, you can't get in and out of the camp. Stand in front of the transerver and press up on the +Control Pad. Once you use it, a license will be issued for you. Don't forget to save often.

(Ashe saves her data and receives a new Hunter's License.)

Ashe: Now I'm set!

Nicol: Those guys who took our Biometal are probably at the station getting the train ready. Be sure to let me know how it goes, OK? I wanna tell everybody that I went on an adventure with you.

Ashe: Leave it to me! People are gonna be talking about me all around the world.

Scene 3: Model A
(Ashe walks around the camp, talking to some of the inhabitants there. She eventually makes her way to the train station and sees Billy waiting for her.)

Billy: So, you're Ashe. I heard about you and how you came to help us.

Ashe: This guy knows a lot about me. Well I guess that makes it easy. Now we don't have to beat around the bush.

Billy: Haha, it's nice to have a girl around. We're all set to go. All aboard!

(Ashe jumps onto the train next to Billy and the strange container. The trains starts to move out.)

Billy: You're something else to want to carry on with this mission by yourself. Why do you want to be a Hunter so bad?

Ashe: I was found by Hunters as a little girl, and they raised me. They said that my town was attacked by Mavericks, and that I was the only survivor of that attack. So nobody really knows who the real me is. I don't even know.

Billy: Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked that.

Ashe: It's OK. So, I decided to become the greatest Hunter in the world. I want my story to go down in the history books. People will remember the name Ashe. Soooo, I can't just let booty like Biometal pass me by!

(A voice is heard from inside the container.)

???: She's just like me... She doesn't know where she comes from either.

(Ashe whirls around.)

Ashe: ...I heard something... Was that someone's voice...?

???: Hm? You can hear me?

(Ashe looks around, but sees nothing.)

Ashe: Who said that just now?

(A group of flying Maverick Mechaniloids appear and start dropping bombs on the train.)

Billy: Dang! Mavericks!

(Billy fires at one Maverick and destroys it.)

Billy: They're going for the engine! You wait here!

(Billy runs towards the engine room. Prometheus and another Reploid teleport in.)

Ashe: ...Prometheus! I had a feeling you'd show up!

??? (female): This is it... The Biometal Model A container...

Prometheus: You again... You just don't give up do you?

??? (female): Who's that girl...?

Prometheus: Never mind her, Pandora. She's nothing. Let's take back the Biometal.

Ashe: I can't let you do that. If you want it, you'll have to yank it from my cold Hunter hands!

(Prometheus slashes at Ashe, injuring her and damaging the Biometal's container.)

Prometheus: Just lay there and die quietly, scum.

Ashe: No way... Not like this...

???: Hey! Girl! If you don't want to die, do exactly what I tell you! We should be able to Megamerge! I'll lend you my strength!

Ashe: W-Who are you?

Model A: I'm Biometal Model A! Now I want you to focus. OK, yell, "MEGAMERGE!" as loud as you can!

(Ashe struggles to stand up.)

Ashe: Megamerge!!

Model A: Biolink Established! M.E.G.A. System Online!

(Ashe starts to glow as a new armor forms around her. Prometheus's eyes widen for a moment as he watches, then grins insanely.)

Ashe: This feeling... This power... in my body... What is it? It's the Biometal, making me stronger! ...Mega Man power!

Pandora: Mega Man... Model A!

Prometheus: I can't believe the Biometal chose you! I've got to hand it to you. It looks like you've got what it takes to participate in this little game.

Pandora: Prometheus... Isn't that kid...?

Prometheus: Hmph, no matter! So, Ashe... You can keep the Model A, for now. You've got a few more encounters with other Mega Men ahead of you. You must defeat them in battle! If you somehow manage to survive until the end, then you'll know who you really are... And perhaps all there is to know about the world! So, let the game begin! HIS Game of Destiny!

(Prometheus and Pandora teleport out.)

Ashe: Who I really am...? Game of Destiny...? What's all that about?

(The train starts to shake.)

Ashe: Oh, shoot! I have to help the others!

Model A: Wait a minute! Shouldn't we be getting out of here!?

Ashe: You were acting all big and bad back there, and now you want to run? C'mon, I have to go help them!

Model A: OK, OK, I'll go! Anything is better than what those guys were going to do to me! I'll help you... if you promise not to leave me. Deal?

Ashe: Of course, you're my booty! And you'll be going with me!

(Ashe fights through the Mavericks on the train until she approaches the engine room.)

???: *snort* *wheeze*!

(A gazelle-like Reploid bursts out of the roof of one train car.)

???: Model A! You broke rule! You make big mistake. The one you choose, no good! Mega Man Chosen One, a girl!? No good you lend power!

Model A: Mistake? What're you yapping about? You don't know me!

Ashe: I think this guy is some kind of Maverick.

Buckfire: Me not Maverick! Me Pseudoroid. Me Buckfire! You get away from Prometheus and Pandora, but not from I! Buckfire obey rule! Buckfire will pummel you into ground!

(Ashe fights Buckfire and eventually defeats him.)

Buckfire: You!... traitor... Our future... Our world...! Yeeeoooow!

(Buckfire explodes and some DNA is left behind. Ashe absorbs the DNA as the train slows and comes to a stop.)

Ashe: W-What just happened?

Model A: *chuckle* Do you want to see something cool? Touch the icon on the bottom screen!

(Ashe does so and suddenly transforms into Buckfire.)

Model A: This is my power, A-Trans! I can morph into anyone whose DNA I copy! Hey, try pressing up on the +Control Pad while holding down the Attack Button and then release it. You can use this move to break objects above you. It's a bit advanced, but I'm sure it will come in handy! And here's another great trick! Hold down and release the Attack button while in mid-air, to kick down towards the ground. With this move you can break objects below you. Why don't you try these moves on the two objects in here? If you want to review them, just press the START and open the sub-screen. Take a look in the Profile section. There you will find detailed explanations of other moves as well. Touch the icon on the bottom screen again, and I can change back!

(Ashe changes back.)

Ashe: Man, that was something else! Could that be the reason why people are after you? The power?

Model A: Beats me. I'm not even sure why I was created. This train is all out of chug. So, let's head back to the camp and figure out another way to get to Legion Headquarters.

Ashe: Yeah, now you're getting the right idea.

Model A: Well, it's that or you'll leave me here, right? I know there's a lot we don't understand. Maybe it's meant to be that way. Anyway, let's try to watch each other's backs.

Ashe: You bet! Now let's get those people taken care of.

Model A: What? Forget about those Hunters and let's get back to camp.

Ashe: I can't believe you would say something like that... I wonder if you'd go down in history if I carved my name in you.

Model A: OK, OK, alright already! For crying out loud! Why did you have to be the only around I could Megamerge with?

Scene 4: Around the Camp
(Ashe and Billy meet outside the train station in Hunter's Camp.)

Billy: ...Thanks, you hold on to Model A. That's probably safer. But, I need you to go to the transerver and send a mission report. No mission report for the client, no bounty. Say, we're trying to fix the train, but we need a few more parts. Tell 'em we won't let 'em down, and to wait just a little longer.

(Billy goes back into the train station. Ashe walks around the camp, talking to some of the inhabitants there.)

(Ashe sees a Reploid working at a small information booth.)

Nina: I'm Nina. I work the station information desk. You can ask me anything about the station and the surrounding area. To get to the train, go out that door and go right.

(Ashe approaches a tall Reploid standing outside a building.)

Jarke: Hey, nice to meet you! My name is Jarke! If you're going to Legion, you should enter the door on the right! You know, yesterday I took the train to Legion. The desolate landscape outside of Hunter's Camp looks pretty dreary. It's a far cry from the bustling cityscape of Legion.

(Ashe visits the group of guards stationed on top of one building.)

Abe: I'm Abe. Glad to meet you!

Kyrian: I'm Kyrian. Nice to meet you!

Tim: My name is Tim. I may not look it, but I've been a Hunter for a long time!

Roger: My name is Roger.

Ben: My name is Ben! Lately, you've been the talk of Hunter's Camp!

Chuck: Yo! My name is Chuck!

Kirk: My name is Kirk. I'm a Hunter just like you!

Doug: My name is Doug.

George: My name is George. As you can see, I'm a Hunter. Now I'm waiting for energy stores to arrive. We're expecting 3 units.

(Ashe enters another building and sees a Reploid excavating a new hallway.)

Kidd: Yo! Are you a Hunter too? My name is Kidd! We've been drilling here, trying to find some lost technology or something. It takes a heckuva lotta energy just to run the drill. It ain't worth it, in my opinion! But we found this place that looks like it was used as a room, buried underneath the earth and sand. We can't give up cause there could be something down there.

Kidd (second time): There's no way around it. To keep digging, I'm going to need another 100 EC... Help with a donation?


 * (If not enough EC)

Kidd: I'm glad you want to help, but that's just not enough EC.


 * (Yes)

Kidd: Thank you! With this, I should be able to make this passageway a little bit wider!

(Ashe exits the building and sees a masked Reploid standing there.)

Pierre: Who are you? They call me Pierre. I dunno where you're trying to get to, but there ain't nothing thataway. If you're trying to get to the station, it's in the opposite direction.

(Ashe enters what looks like a restaurant and talks to the Reploid in charge.)

Jim: Hey, I didn't know kids liked to drink coffee. I'm Jim, and this is my cafe. I used to make my living as a Hunter, but I wasn't very good with directions, you know. I realized that it just wasn't for me and got out.

Jim (second time): I started this place hoping it'd be somewhere the Hunters could relax and enjoy themselves. I'm still learning the ropes of the business. And, making a lot of mistakes too.

(Ashe talks to one of the restaurant customers.)

Ward: So you're a Hunter too, huh... Boy, there's just no shortage of new recruits lately. The name's Ward... Pleased to meet you! I put bounties out on the Mechaniloids that show up around here, and I make the payouts to those Hunters who have the right stuff. If you think you've got the right stuff, you should take a crack at it.

Ward (second time): Recently there've been some sightings of wild Mechaniloids near Hunter's Camp.

(Ashe talks to another customer, Elena.)

Elena: What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face? You must be 12 going on 20 if you think you can talk to me! Remember that for the next time we meet!

Elena (second time): Don't get so close to me! You're crowding my space! Did I not just warn you about that kind of thing? I don't want you breathing down my neck. I'm an elite Hunter!

(Ashe exits the cafe and sees a nurse Reploid standing outside.)

Anna: Well, are you feeling any better? I'm Anna. I give Hunters medical attention in the infirmary. The transerver isn't here, it's in room 04. To enter the door in the back room, stand in front of it and push up on the +Control Pad! You can also push up on the +Control Pad to examine items or talk to someone!

(Ashe enters a computer database room and talks to the Reploid there.)

Gary: I'm Gary, the Data Room Administrator. If you get your hands on something called a Secret Disk, you should bring it back here for analysis. It contains information about enemies, etc. View the database?

(If Yes, Ashe is shown files on various characters, bosses, and enemies.)

(Ashe climbs up to a hidden alcove above a wall and sees a young Reploid sitting there.)

Chris: Who are you? They call me Chris! I'm a real Hunter, make no mistake about it! But what I really want more than some lost technology is some toys! My dad says that a Hunter needs to be tough. So I tried to get to the top of the ridge to test my toughness. But, it was a lot scarier than I thought. The view IS nice from up here... I think I'll make this my secret place.

(Ashe sees a short Reploid walking around the camp grounds.)

Ray: Whoa... you don't see many people around here dressed like that. Are you supposed to be a new comic superhero or something? ... I get it, you haven't come up with a name for yourself yet... That's cool. My name is Ray. I collect old comic books. It's one of my hobbies. That's why the other Hunters call me the Comic Hunter. But I'm not really all THAT. *blush*

(Ashe sees a blond-haired Reploid.)

Tina: I'm Tina! I used to run with a group of bandits! Don't worry, it's all in my past. Now I make an honest living as a Hunter.

(Ashe goes through a door to another area of the Camp and sees an overweight Reploid sitting on the ground.)

Owl: *munch munch munch* Mnh? Who are you? Can't you see I'm eating? Would you mind not talking to me right now? Eh? My name? ...It's Owl. What about it?

(Ashe climbs a ladder and sees a tall Reploid with a little girl sitting on his shoulder.)

Warren: ...

Blossom: Hello! Is this the first time we've met? My name is Blossom! And this is my daddy!

Warren: ...

Blossom: Oh, my daddy's name is Warren!

(Ashe sees a Hunter standing next to a locked door.)

Richard: When it comes to skills with a Buster, there's nobody in Hunter's Camp even close to me. I could care less if you're supposed to be some Mega Man or whatever. All I know is, you ain't even in my league. If you don't believe me, just go to the Firing Range up ahead and challenge my record. I'll even give you this room key. Give the key back when you're finished though! As a matter of fact, I'll pay you 100 EC if you beat my record!

Scene 5: The Sage Trinity
(Ashe returns to the transerver to save data when she receives a call.)

???: So, you're the one who submitted the mission report? I'm connecting your transerver to Legion's via a secure channel.

???: So, you're the Biometal's Chosen One... a Mega Man.

Ashe: Why do you get to ask all the questions? Do people at Legion always just do whatever they want?

???: Hahaha, we heard that you were a feisty one. It seems that the rumors were true.

???: Mikhail, that's quite enough. Like she said, we are the ones being rude here.

???: We are called the Sage Trinity, and we are the supreme authority of Legion. I'm Master Thomas.

Mikhail: And I'm Master Mikhail, nice to meet you, Mega Man.

Albert: And I am Master Albert. Nice to meet you, Ashe.

Ashe: Wow, it's kinda scary to know they know about me at Legion Headquarters.

Thomas: Word has it that you are quite a Hunter. We'd like you to go on another mission.

Mikhail: We'd like you to bring the Biometal here to Legion Headquarters. It would seem that Mavericks are after the Biometal as well. To reduce the risk of being spotted, it's important to keep the number of men... er, women to a minimum. Can we count on you?

(Ashe receives a Red Card Key.)

Albert: It seems the train bound for Legion Headquarters was damaged. That card key should allow you access to a new area. There's a crashed Raider airship not far from you. Find it and you should be able to get the parts you need to repair the train.

Thomas: The Biometal holds technology and information that we don't fully understand, like the M.E.G.A. mechanism which allows you to Megamerge and become a Mega Man.

Mikhail: And not to mention centuries worth of lost history!

Albert: That's enough, Mikhail. ...We have a duty to study the Biometal so its secrets are never misused. Ashe, can we count on you?

Ashe: OK. Now things are starting to get interesting. You're going to up the bounty, of course?

Thomas: Aah... We'll consider it. First head to the airship crash site. And be sure to heed the advice of your fellow Hunters.

Scene 6: Tower of Verdure
(Ashe enters a large tower completely overgrown by vines. Eventually she goes through a door and an alarm goes off.

Security: ALERT! ALERT! SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION! ALERT CONDITION 3 IN EFFECT! SEAL ALL EXITS!

(All other doors in the room seal closed.)

Model A: Y-Yo this isn't good!

(Ashe tries to go back out through the door she came in.)

Ashe: It's no good, the doors are locked!

Albert: This is Albert! Are you alright Ashe!? That old tower was built to surveil the surrounding area. The security has been fortified against Mavericks, but there seems to be a malfunction. There should be a computer at the top that controls the security system. You must get there and disarm the system, Ashe.

(Ashe continues fighting through the area until she finds a strange plantlike Reploid harassing a Raider named Gerry.)

???: For a Raider to make it this far is quite something... *evil laugh* I like you! Accept my thorny embrace and allow your soul to be scattered like petals on the breeze!

Gerry: *Aargh*! S-Stay away from me!

Ashe: Stooooooooop! I'm the one you want!

(The Reploid turns around in and sees Ashe.)

???: ...What, a girl? I'm busy. Just wait there! I'll get to you when I finish ripping this man's soul out.

Gerry: Graaah!

(Gerry bolts through a door on the other side of the room.)

Ashe: So, you're the one who caused the security system to malfunction! What are you doing here!?

???: You know, you're really starting to get on my nerves! Now look what you've done! You've let my sacrifice get away! What am I doing here? OK, I'll tell you...

(The Reploid suddenly transforms into a flower-based Pseudoroid and climbs up one of the vines.)

Rospark: Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Rospark. I sacrifice those unfortunate enough to wander into this tower! You too can become a sacrifice... For the strength of the new king... Biometal Model W!

(Ashe fights and defeats Rospark.)

Rospark: *mutter* The nerve! That strength... How!? I'm wilting... wilting! Yeeeargh!

(Rospark explodes, leaving behind some DNA. Ashe absorbs the DNA and continues through the door to find Gerry.)

Gerry: *Ugh* You're one of the gang who attacked our airship, aren't you!? No... Stop... Stay away...!

Model A: It's no use... He's in a total panic.

Ashe: Calm down! I'm here to help you!

Gerry: S-S-Stay back, get away!

(A large spiked machine in the background starts to glow as a ball of purple energy appears around Gerry.)

Gerry: Eeeagghhhh!

(Gerry collapses and disappears as the purple energy is pulled to the machine, which starts to hum with energy.)

Ashe: What the... What just happened!?

(Two Reploids, one in green armor and one in purple, teleport in.)

??? (green): Total and utter defeat... That man, unable to endure the terror, fell victim to Model W.

Model A: Model W!? This humongous thing is a Biometal!?

??? (purple): BIOMETAL MODEL W... A BIOMETAL MADE FROM AN ANCIENT WEAPON.

Ashe: What the heck are you!?

(The two Reploids Megamerge.)

??? (green): You, the Chosen One for Model A? What a disappointment! I am Aeolus, the Wind Mega Man, Model H.

???: CODENAME: SIARNAQ. SHADOW MEGA MAN, MODEL P.

'Model A: Model H, Model P... Are these the other Mega Men Prometheus was talking about!?

Siarnaq: OPERATIONAL TIME LIMIT EXCEEDED. RETRIEVE MODEL W.

Ashe: Wait, I'm right here! Are you just gonna run away!?

Aeolus: Us? Run away? Don't be stupid! We're letting you live for now. Right now, our first priority is developing Model W. We can take care of you anytime.

Siarnaq: OPERATIONAL TIME LIMIT EXCEEDED. REQUESTING YOU MOVE EXPEDITIOUSLY. MODEL W AWARENESS LEVEL 2. ESTIMATED TIME TILL MAVERICK GENERATION, 5717 SECONDS.

Ashe: Hey! You mean that Model W caused all of those Mavericks!?

Aeolus: Your ignorance knows no bounds... The fact that you even need to ask shows that you are not fit to be a Mega Man. You may live, for now. But the next time we meet will be your last.

(Aeolus and Siarnaq teleport out with the Model W.)

Albert: Finally, we were able to reach you. Are you OK? We've verified that the security system has indeed been disarmed. Now, you should be able to continue.

(On his way to the transerver, Grey comes across a passageway filled with spikes, vines, and poles.)

Model A: Be careful, Ashe! There are thorns everywhere. Oh yeah! You can morph into Rospark! Press the +Control Pad up in front of vines and poles, and Rospark will grab hold of them. You can also move sideways, vine to vine, or pole to pole. Just press the Attack Button while holding the +Control Pad left or right to whip out Rospark's arms. Hold the Attack button and release it to do an electric attack! Oh? It looks like Rospark has one more attack! Press the other Attack button to extend Rospark's thorns. Holding this Attack button and releasing it will also do an electric attack. It's a lot to remember all at once, so look at it again on the Profile Screen.

(Ashe returns to a transerver and reports the mission.)

Scene 7: Arctic Ice Floe
(Ashe enters a bleak frozen landscape with icebergs floating on the sea.)

Mikhail: Can you hear me? It's me, Mikhail. It looks like you've stepped into some rough terrain. You should be able to cut a path through the chunks of ice, but the areas that allow access to the crash site are limited. Mega Man, you must find a way to break through.

(Ashe fights through the area until she comes to a long, flat stretch of ice. Two Reploids, one in red armor and one in blue, teleport in.)

??? (red): Prometheus said he found someone interesting. I came to see who it was. Thetis, she's nothing more than a kid, like you.

??? (blue): Hey, you're not that much older than me.

Ashe: W-What is it with you people!?

(The two Reploids Megamerge.)

??? (blue): Didn't Prometheus tell you that you'd meet other Mega Men? My name is Thetis, the Ice Mega Man... Chosen One for Model L.

???: I'm Atlas, the Flame Mega Man... Chosen One for Model F. How is it that an unenlightened Hunter who has no ideals is a Mega Man?

Model A: What is going on with all these weirdos?

Ashe: I don't need ideals, I have my pride. I can't stand people like you who are always looking down on others.

Thetis: Haha, just as I expected. But... I don't feel like fighting right now. We've got other things to do.

Atlas: I've got no time for some kid who became a Mega Man by accident. You look like you could use a nice, cold dip.

(Atlas slams a fist down onto the ice sheet, breaking it. She and Thetis teleport away as Ashe falls into the sea below the ice. A large blue Pseudoroid appears.)

???: *Ha ha ha* Welcome to my sub-zero world where even time freezes! You've got some nerve calling yourself a Mega Man, Plebian! You're nothing more than a lowlife commoner! I, Chronoforce will take that Biometal off your hands!

(Ashe fights and defeats Chronoforce.)

Chronoforce: ...You are nothing more than a pawn in the palm... of HIS hand. ...All you can hope to do is just flail about in the little time you have left!
 * cackle*

(Chronoforce explodes, leaving behind some DNA, which Ashe absorbs.)

Ashe: Do you get the feeling that those two back there are just puppets? "HE" is probably pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Model A: Shoot!... Who do they think they are, taking advantage of our ignorance! Now I want to go all the way and win this game even more!

(Grey goes through a door and finds a large room with spikes lining the ceiling.)

Model A: You got Chronoforce's power! Morph into Chronoforce and you can use Swim in the water all the time. Use the +Control Pad to move around in the water, and press the Dash button to propel yourself quickly through the current. Press the Attack button to shoot an ice arrow to freeze enemies solid! But be careful, on land you'll become totally immobile. Chronoforce's hard shell protects him from attacks from above. Just get under one of those falling icicles and see.

(Ashe tries out some of Chronoforce's attacks.)

Model A: Chronoforce's charge attack is awesome! Hold the Attack button till the meter is fully charged, then release it to activate the Time Bomb! Time Bomb freezes time for everything around you, and slows down the movements of enemies. Cool, huh? Oh yeah, it's not only enemies that slow down... You can use Time Bomb to slow down falling objects like icicles.

(Ashe returns to the transerver and reports the mission.)

Scene 8: Side Quests
*Note: This script does not include all possible side quests in the game.

(Ashe goes to the cafe inside Hunter's Camp and talks to Jim, the owner.)

Jim: ... Oh hi, it's you! I didn't notice you there. Hmm... I'm sooo stressing out right now. Never mind, I'm just having a personal problem. There's someone I like, but I don't know how I can get her to notice me. They say there's a Magical Fruit... and that if you eat it, you'll fall in love with the person who gave it to you. If I could only get that fruit and make juice out of it, then I could give it to the girl I like to drink. Hey, could you do me a favor? They say that you can find the Magical Fruit at the Tower of Verdure. Could you go and find it for me?

(Ashe finds the fruit and brings it back.)

Jim: You found it for me!? But it just looks like an ordinary green apple. Oh well. Anyway, thank you very much!

(Jim gives Ashe 200 EC for the fruit.)

(Ashe climbs up the wall to where Chris, a young Reploid, likes to be.)

Chris: Hey, my daddy says that in the olden days there used to be supercool superheroes. Did you know that!? But he said that was long, long ago, so there aren't many pictures of them left. Aah... I sure would like to see a legendary superhero. Do you know any superheroes? I know! Could you find somebody who has some legendary superhero stuff? Pleeeease! I'll give you my favorite pin from my pin collection!

(Ashe talks to Ray, the comic book collector.)

Ray: Legendary superhero stuff? Oh, I was kind of short on cash a while back, so I sold all that stuff. That Hunter Tina said she wanted to see some pics of cool guys. I didn't want to give it to her, but she wanted it sooo bad.

(Ashe talks to Tina.)

Tina: Huh? You're looking for some legendary superhero stuff? Let me think... Did I have something like that...? Ah, you must be thinking about that secret disk. I gave that away to one of the kids in Hunters Camp! I heard it had some pictures of nice guys on it, so I bought it for 300 EC!

(Ashe goes back to where Chris is.)

Chris: Huh? Secret Disk...? This flying disk toy thing? The picture on the package was scary, it didn't look like a legendary hero to me. It sure wasn't the kind of superhero I had imagined. I'm sorry I put you to the trouble. Here, I'll give you this disk. But I want my pin back though!

(Ashe enters a room a couple floors down inside building 01 and sees a Reploid standing there.)

Nick: I'm Nick... who are you? As you can see, I'm an old-model Reploid! Just because I'm old doesn't mean that my life cycle settings are any longer. It just means that I'm a previous generation Reploid. You know, this room could use some life. Been thinking about turning it into a cafe. Jim, the Hunter, let me borrow his blueprints for a cafe, but I lost them while walking back from Jim's cafe. It was really windy. Even if I did manage to find them, it'd probably be in some place too hard for me to reach. I feel terrible for asking a favor of someone I just met, but would you mind looking for them?

(Ashe finds the blueprints outside building 01 on top of the fence and brings them back.)

Nick: Thank you. Now I can finally build that cafe! Oh, and I can start by selling E Tanks or something.

(Nick gives Ashe 200 EC for finding the blueprints.)

(Ashe talks to Blossom and Warren.)

Blossom: I want to go pick some pretty flowers for my mommy, but Daddy says it's too dangerous to leave Hunter's Camp. Could you go instead?

Warren: ...

Blossom: Mommy really likes lilies! I think that lilies only grow out in the wild. You can find them in areas where there are lots of other plants, and near waterfalls.

Warren: ...

(Ashe finds the lilies in the Tower of Verdure, Floating Ruins, and the Waterfall Ruins areas and brings them back to Blossom.)

Blossom: Oh, thank you so much! Look, I made Mommy's grave pretty while you were gone. I lost my mommy to Mavericks in the desert when I was two. She's in heaven now... But I know she'll like the flowers the Hunter picked, right Daddy?

Warren: Yeah...

Blossom: Oh yeah, these are for you! These E-Crystals are from Daddy, and this chip is from me.

(Blossom gives Ashe 100 EC and the Eraser chip.)

(Ashe talks to a scientist named Carley in one of the database rooms.)

Carley: It seems that the remains of a rare and ancient Mechaniloid were found in the Oil Fields. With all of the reporters and press everywhere, it's practically impossible to get to that area. Besides, I can't go out there. Everybody knows that the Oil Fields are just too dangerous. If I could only pinpoint the location of the Mechaniloid remains, I could have some guys go in. Could i get you to go and put this micro-transmitter at the site of the Mechaniloid remains?

(Ashe takes the micro-transmitter at the site of the remains and goes back to talk to Carley.)

Carley: Thank you! My guys just got back with the Mechaniloid remains. The analysis results indicate that this Mechaniloid is very, very old. Most likely, those Oil Fields are all that's left of a dried up ancient sea. Oh, by the way! The Hunters brought back this... I don't have any use for it, so I'll give it to you.

(Carley gives Ashe the Frog chip.)

Scene 9: The Raider Airship
(Ashe enters a desert area close to where the Raider Airship had crashed.)

Security: DUE TO AN AIRSHIP CRASH IN THIS AREA, SAFETY LOCKS ARE IN OPERATION. LOCKS CAN BE DISENGAGED BY DEACTIVATING THE 3 ELEMENTAL SWITCHES. TO DEACTIVATE, EXPLOIT THE VULNERABLE ATTRIBUTES OF EACH ELEMENTAL SWITCH. ELECTRICITY IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST FIRE, ICE AGAINST ELECTRICITY, and FIRE AGAINST ICE.

(Ashe deactivates the three switches.)

Security: ELEMENTAL SWITCHES DEACTIVATED. SAFETY LOCKS DISENGAGED.

(Ashe sees an injured Raider named Dan.)

Ashe: Hey! Are you OK!?

Dan: Ugh... Ug... Help me... Our airship is under attack by something nasty... It intends to massacre us all!

Ashe: A massacre!?

Thomas: This is Master Thomas. It seems you've arrived at the crash site. That entire area is an underground resource mining facility. If that airship explodes, it will trigger the entire facility to detonate.

Model A: He means we're going to be blown away! C'mon, let's get outta here!

Ashe: ...The airship is this way, right?

Model A: I don't get it. Those guys are all Raiders. Are you sure you want to help those guys!? Technically, they're your enemies, right?

Ashe: It doesn't matter who they are. This is the story of my life! I don't want to live my life with regrets! I shouldn't need a reason to save lives!

Model A: OK, OK, if you feel that strongly about it... You want me to go with you right? Well let's go, Ashe!

Thomas: If the airship is destroyed, you won't be able to recover any of its parts. Anyway, you have to prevent the worst from happening. Hurry, Ashe.

(Ashe enters the crashed airship and sees another Raider named Tom.)

Tom: Are you here to help us? Some of us weren't able to get out in time. They're still trapped in that room. There's something funny going on with the power. Some of the doors won't open... Please... All of my friends are in that room. Please get them out.

(Ashe reactivates the power generators by hitting them with Rospark's electric attack and then finds a Raider named Daniel in one of the rooms.)

Daniel: W-Who are you? Are you going to hurt me? Please... No...

(Daniel runs out of the room. Ashe opens the next door and finds another Raider.)

Eric: Ohhh! Finally, it opened! Thank you!

(Eric runs out of the room. Ashe opens the next door to see one of the Raiders cornered by Mavericks. Ashe destroys the Mavericks.)

Adam: I dunno who you are, but thank you for helping me.

(Ashe continues on until she sees Atlas standing near the edge of a hole.)

Atlas: So, those Raiders escaped through here. Every last one of you will become nourishment for Model W!

(Atlas jumps down into the hole. Ashe jumps in after her.)

Ashe: Wait!

Atlas: So you managed to stay alive, Mega Man Model A. Don't tell me you're here to help the Raiders? They're not even your allies.

Ashe: This is also part of what Hunters do. Heroes show up just in time.

Atlas: Hmph, you get some Mega Man power and all of a sudden you think you're a hero. The history of the world, the history of the war... And now, the strongest of those who evolved as a product of war remain. A newly crowned king of Mega Men will soon spawn a new evolution. Mega Man's power is the strength to fight. Those without strength don't evolve.

Model A: So you feed them to Model W? I'd say that's pretty barbaric progress.

Atlas: What would you know!? You can't even comprehend your own power. If I'm the one that's wrong, try and beat me!

(Atlas Megamerges with Model F and attacks Ashe.)

Atlas: Aren't you going to finish me off? Very well. I yield to you. As long as your opponent is still alive, the Game of Destiny isn't over. One day you'll regret not finishing me off!

(Atlas teleports away, leaving behind some DNA, which Ashe absorbs. Suddenly she reels in pain.)

Ashe: Aghh! Aaaaarrrr! What's happening!? Model A! Aieghh!

???: EXTRACTING FROM CODE AW15 TO CE70. EXPANDING REPORT DATA. ......Congratulations. The Model A which I created is protected by a cipher that is broken only in battle. You, who broke the first cipher, are worthy to know its truth and power. Through my research of the lost technology, I have created a key to unlock the door to a new evolution. Biometal Model W... He who holds it, will hold the power to rule the world. But it will take much time before people will finally appreciate my work. Sacrifices are necessary to awaken Model W. Model Ws which I have hidden throughout the world are waiting to be awakened. Waiting for when the one who understands my work appears, to receive the power.

Ashe: *gulp* ...Model A... What just happened to me...

Model A: Was that the data recorded on me that those Sage guys were talking about? The data on the one who made Model W... and me?

Ashe: Are you OK Model A? We'd better go help the others.

(Ashe continues and finds two Raiders hiding behind a wall.)

Wolff: What!? Whoind'heck are you! This shield is made of ceratanium! Your attacks are completely useless against it. So, why don't you save yourself the trouble! Go home!

(Wolff laughs.)

Model A: ...All this talk is starting to get really old. Yo, morph into that Atlas lady, and let's hit 'em hard with a Charge Attack! Say goodbye to that precious shield of yours!

(Ashe morphs into Atlas and easily destroys the shield. Wolff immediately stops laughing and cowers in the corner.)

Wolff: Waaaagh! P-Please d-don't hurt me!

Model A: I thought so... just a buncha wusses! Morph back, and let's set the record straight...

(Scene cuts to a short time later. Wolff and Ashe stand next to the Raider airship.)

Wolff: You saved our lives. Thanks a lot, Sis!

Ashe: Drop the Sis, would you? I want to use your airship for parts to repair our train.

Wolff: Aah, it's already been taken care of. I just sent some of our guys to Hunter's Camp to do the repairs. We were all impressed with your strength and courage. We're going to clean up our act and work with you as honest to goodness bounty Hunters.

Model A: *chuckle* It looks like you have a follower. It's not a bad feeling to be appreciated.

Wolff: The repairs should almost be finished. Go back to the camp and have a look. I hope you find out something at Legion, Sis!

(Ashe starts to go to the transerver.)

Model A: Atlas can do a lot more than just that the Charge Attack! Press the Attack button while holding the +Control Pad up to shoot upwards! Hold the Attack button then release it while holding the +Control Pad down to perform the Ground Breaker move! You can even change the trajectory of the Buster shot by using the bottom screen. You can access that function by first selecting "Status" on the sub screen. Then change the trajectory by either touching the boxes or using the +Control Pad. Select "Exit" to complete the changes!

(Ashe returns to the transerver and reports the mission.)
