Mega Man ZX Advent Script (Grey's story)

Script from the game Mega Man ZX Advent, Grey's storyline only.

Scene 1: Awakening
(The scene opens as two Hunters, Mick and Robin, try to break in to a sealed room in an old laboratory.)

Mick: Well, how's that lock coming?

Robin: This is one tough nut to crack... but I'm almost there. Yes! Got it! We're in.

(They enter the room and see lots of old machinery.)

Mick: ...Not again! It looks like this isn't it either. I was hoping we'd find it on the first try, and show it off to the guys back at Hunter's Camp.

(Robin walks deeper into the room and sees a strange capsule. A form is visible inside.)

Robin: Hey! There's something in there!

(Mick and Robin run towards it.)

Robin: What the...!?

(An unknown Reploid is in stasis inside the capsule.)

Mick: ...A Reploid kid? No way! What's it doing here?

(Mick walks closer to it.)

Robin: Hey, don't touch it! If you trip the security, we'll have Mechaniloids crawling all over us.

(An alarm rings and a group of security Galleons run into the room. The two sides fire at each other, and Robin is hit, throwing him against the side of the capsule, which starts to crack. The capsule's alarm rings as it starts to unlatch. Scene cuts to after the battle to see the capsule open and the Reploid inside fall out. He shakily stands up and gasps as he sees the bodies of Mick, Robin, and the Galleons.)

???: What the!? W-what... happened? Where am I? Who am I? Hnnngnn! I can't remember anything...

(A female Reploid teleports in.)

???: W-Who are you!?

Pandora: I... am Pandora. Grey... I'm here to dispose of you...

Grey: Grey? Is that my name? What do you mean dispose of me!?

Pandora: You... are like me... A Mega Man... But you were awakened... before the mind control sequence was completed...

Grey: Mega Man? Mind control!? What have you done to me!?

(Pandora fires a bolt of electricity at Grey, who is thrown back near the body of one of the Hunters.)

Grey: Ugnnh!

Pandora: Defectives must be disposed of...

Grey: I don't think this guy will be needing his weapon anymore... Aaaaagh!

(Grey grabs a gun from one of the fallen Hunters and fires at Pandora, who deflects it while Grey bolts out of the room.)

Grey: *pant*... *pant*...! Why did she call me defective!? Anyway, I have to find a way out of here before they kill me!

(Grey continues on until he comes to a long bridge with a giant Mechaniloid guarding it. He eventually destroys the Mechaniloid with only the Hunter's gun, but the bridge suddenly collapses.)

Grey: Aaaagghh!!

(Grey and the Mechaniloid's remains plummet down the waterfall and the scene fades out.)

Scene 2: Hunters Camp
(Grey wakes up on a bed inside a room.)

Grey: Mmmwwaaa! Huh...? Where am I?

(A Hunter named Billy enters the room. Grey, startled, pulls out his gun and aims it at Billy.)

Billy: Whoa! Hey, let's just calm down, OK!?

Grey: Are you here to kill me!?

Billy: I'm the one who found you outside the camp! Put down your weapon! I'm not going to hurt you!

(Grey reluctantly puts the gun away.)

Grey: You... helped me?

Billy: Yeah, don't mention it. What's your name? And what the heck happened to you?

Grey: Grey... at least, that's what she called me anyway. When I woke up, I was in some kind of building... And there was a woman... She said her name was Pandora. Right before she tried to kill me. I ran... Everything after that is a blur.

Billy: Well, there must be some reason you can't remember... Don't let it get you down. It'll all come back to you. This is Hunter's Camp, a gathering place for bounty Hunters. They're a pretty rowdy bunch, but they're all good people. It's good to have guys like them around. Hey, you haven't had a chance to see the camp yet. OK, exit this room and meet me at the transerver next door. There's something I wanna show you.

(Billy starts to leave.)

Grey: Uh... Umm...!

(Billy stops and turns back to Grey.)

Grey: ...Uh, thank you for saving me...

Billy: *smile* Like I said, don't mention it. I'm sure you would have done the same for me.

(Billy exits. Grey follows until they reach the transerver.)

Billy: That machine's called a transerver. You can use it to save data. Go ahead, get up there and press up on the +Control Pad.

(Grey gets on the transerver and receives a Hunter's License after saving the data.)

Grey: A Hunter's License? I don't get it...

Billy: By accessing the server, you've been officially registered as a Hunter. There are transervers spread out all over the place. When you find one, be sure to save, and save often!

Grey: Wait a minute! I never said that I wanted to be a Hunter...!

Billy: Just keep it. There are a lot of illegal Hunters, Raiders and such out there. You can't get into Hunter's Camp without your Hunter's License. Take a good look around later on. Oh, by the way! Do you wanna help me with a mission?

Grey: A mission?

Billy: Job requests we Hunters get now and then. You get paid when you carry out a job successfully. Hey, it's a living. Anyway, I've got to get ready for the mission, so I'll be at the station. Give me a holler when you're ready to go.

(Billy walks away.)

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

Billy: For this mission, we have to take this container to Legion Headquarters.

Grey: Legion...? I guess I've got a lot to learn.

Billy: ...Man, you must've bumped your head pretty hard... Let's roll out!

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

Billy: Legion is the coalition government created after the war several centuries ago, by representatives from every nation. It makes laws that govern the lives of Humans and Reploids. Basically, it's the most powerful organization on Earth. I bet the Legion database has info about you too. That's why I invited you to come along.

Grey: Isn't using a train for just one container overdoing it a little?

Billy: The stuff in that container is called Biometal. It's very rare and very valuable. We recovered it from some Raiders who pillaged it from ancient ruins. Legion pays huge bounties for Biometal. So, there's a reason we overdo it.

Grey: Hmm, Biometal... Why does that sound familiar?

(A voice is heard from inside the container.)

???: Does he know about me...?

(Grey whirls around.)

Grey: Who said that!?

???: Hm? You can hear me!?

(Grey looks around, but sees nothing.)

Grey: What? Who's there...?

(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. Pandora and another Reploid teleport in.)

Grey: You!

Pandora: There you are... Defective Mega Man...

??? (male): Pandora, you couldn't dispose of this one measly imp?

Pandora: My apologies, Prometheus.

Prometheus: No matter. We'll finish him off and take back the Biometal.

Grey: I've had it! Do you think I'm just going to sit here and let you two kill me when I don't even know why!?

(Prometheus slashes at Grey, injuring him and damaging the Biometal's container.)

Prometheus: Just lay there and die quietly, scum.

Grey: No way! I'm... I'm...

???: Hey! Grey! If you want to live, do as I say. Since you can hear me, we should be able to Megamerge! I'll lend you my strength!

Grey: 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!

(Grey struggles to stand up.)

Grey: Megamerge!!

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

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

Grey: This power coursing through me... What is it? I feel like I know this power... This is Mega Man power!

Pandora: Mega Man... Model A!

Prometheus: *guffaw* Well, isn't this a surprise! Our Defective just Megamerged! 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 Grey... 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 known 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.)

Grey: Game of Destiny? What's up with them...?

(The train starts to shake.)

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

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

Grey: If you don't want to come, transform me back to normal, and I'll go by myself!

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?

Grey: ...OK! Let's go!

(Grey fights through the Mavericks on the train until he 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! He Defective! You lend him your power, no good!

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

Grey: Who's this!? He's different from the other Mavericks...

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!

(Grey fights Buckfire and eventually defeats him.)

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

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

Grey: W-What just happened?

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

(Grey 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!

(Grey changes back.)

Grey: Is that power why everyone wants Biometal so bad?

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 another way to get to Legion Headquarters.

Grey: Are you going to help me!?

Model A: Well, it's that or you'll leave me here, right? Besides, we've got goons after us, and we don't know why. It's better for the both of us that we work together!

Grey: Thank you! First we have to help the people who are injured!

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

Grey: No way! I'm not leaving them! If you don't want to come, I can go by...

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

Scene 4: Around the Camp
(Grey 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. Grey walks around the camp, talking to some of the inhabitants there.)

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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, Grey is shown files on various characters, bosses, and enemies.)

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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*

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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?

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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
(Grey returns to the transerver to save data when he 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.

Grey: ...Who are you dudes?

???: *chuckle* "You dudes," huh? I guess you really have lost your memory.

???: Go easy on him, Mikhail. He doesn't know any better.

???: 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. How do you do, Grey?

Grey: How do you know my name? Have we met before!?

Thomas: Calm down. We know about you from the Hunters' report. We're running your file through the Legion database now.

Mikhail: We'll soon know who you really are. Meanwhile, so you're not just sitting around waiting, we have a mission for you. We'd like you to bring the Biometal directly to us.

(Grey 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. Grey, can we count on you?

Grey: So, if I go to Legion, you'll tell me about Model A?

Thomas: That is correct. First, head for the crash site. Dangers abound, so give heed to the directions of your fellow Hunters.

Scene 6: Tower of Verdure
(Grey enters a large tower completely overgrown by vines. Eventually he 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!

(Grey tries to go back out through the door he came in.)

Grey: It's no use, the doors are locked! We can't get out!

Albert: This is Albert! Are you alright, Grey? 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, Grey.

(Grey continues fighting through the area until he 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!

Grey: Stop!

(The Reploid turns around in and sees Grey.)

???: Like honeybees, one by one they are drawn to my nectar. You're quite a handsome boy. I like you.

Gerry: Graaah!

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

Grey: So, you're the one who caused the security system to malfunction!

???: I'm planting a seed! A seed that will lay the foundation for the new world and the new king! It grows by feeding on the fear of those unfortunate enough to wander into this tower.

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

Rospark: I am Rospark. Come and cry in my bosom. Cry out in terror and pain!

(Grey fights and defeats Rospark.)

Rospark: I underestimated you! I had no idea your power was so fiery...! I'm wilting... wilting! Yeeeargh!

(Rospark explodes, leaving behind some DNA. Grey 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.

Grey: 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 him.)

Gerry: Eeeagghhhh!!

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

Grey: W-What the heck 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): CROSSCHECKING... DATA MATCH FOUND... SUBJECT IS MEGA MAN MODEL A.

Grey: What the heck are you guys!?

(The two Reploids Megamerge.)

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

Siarnaq: 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.

Grey: Wait! You think you can just run away!?

Aeolus: Us? Run away? Don't be stupid! We're letting you go... for now.

Siarnaq: PRESENT PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS DEVELOPMENT AND RETRIEVAL OF BIOMETAL MODEL W. ENGAGING MEGA MAN MODEL A IN COMBAT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN STRATEGIC OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS.

Model A: What? So, you're just going to ignore us, huh!?

Aeolus: You understand correctly. We can end you at any time. You would do well to hone your skills by the next time we meet.

(Aeolus and Siarnaq teleports 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, Grey! 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.

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

Scene 7: Arctic Ice Floe
(Grey 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.

(Grey fights through the area until he 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, he's nothing more than a kid, like you.

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

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

(The two Reploids Megamerge.)

Thetis: 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.

Atlas: I'm Atlas, the Flame Mega Man... Chosen One for Model F. Don't tell me you don't know about the Game of Destiny, in which the winner becomes the king of the world?

Model A: King of the world? This just gets bigger and bigger!

Grey: Look, I don't care about that. All I know is that if I beat them, I get to find out who I am and where I came from.

Thetis: Sorry, I'm not in the mood to fight you 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 Grey falls into the sea below the ice. A large blue Pseudoroid appears.)

Chronoforce: *Ha ha ha* Welcome to my sub-zero world where even time freezes! You've got some nerve calling yourself a Mega Man, Defective! I, Chronoforce, will take that Biometal off your hands!

(Grey 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 Grey absorbs.)

Grey: Who is this HE, HIS, HIM guy everyone keeps talking about?

Model A: I bet he's the one calling the shots behind those other Mega Men. Game of Destiny... King of the world... This is all getting complicated...

(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.

(Grey 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.

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

Scene 8: Side Quests
(Grey goes to the cafe 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?

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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.

(Grey 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!

(Grey 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!
