Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha/Script

Script from the game Rockman and Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha (Mega Man and Bass: Challenger from the Future in English).

=Mega Man's Story=

Scene 1: The Dimensions
Narrator: The year 200X. A group of robots calling themselves the Dimensions attacked Symphony City, a city where people and robots lived in peace. Though without any witnesses, the one leading the Dimensions with overwhelming power was a robot like Rockman. He was said to be a dark and wicked person completely obsessed with destruction. Rockman, who heard this news at Right's laboratory, took off to the scene despite being under maintenance. At the same time, Wily saw the dark Rockman, and to ascertain the mystery he sends Forte to the city. Just who is this dark Rockman really?!

Rockman Shadow: My name is Rockman Shadow! I am a robot with great power. I won't forgive those who don't obey me!

Mega Man: Stop your harming of everyone! Who the heck are you? How can it be you look just like me?

Bass: I've come to end the life of Rockman who I hate to this day, but somehow this situation is different than usual.

Mega Man: Forte, I don't have time to be concerned with that now. I must hold back those robots!

Bass: Ch! It can't be helped, Wily's laboratory is near this city. I won't carry out our war of attrition here!

Scene 2: Rockman Shadow
Rockman Shadow: Beating my Green Devil, what I would expect from Rockman. But ruining my robot factory I cannot forgive.

Mega Man: Who exactly are you? Why do I feel I've met you before? Stop these terrible things you're doing and we'll find a way for you to live and get along with everyone.

Rockman Shadow: Fufufu, unfortunately I cannot do such a thing. If you want to know who I am, defeat my underlings.

Scene 3: The True Enemy
Mega Man: Blues, tell me! Who is the black helmetted me?

Protoman: That is Rockman Shadow, just like his name, he is your shadow. As you become stronger he(it) will be the true enemy you face.

Mega Man: What are you talking about? What should I do, Blues?

Protoman: Just like this, love peace and continue, persist in that. You have an enemy that can overcome anyone. Don't lose.

Scene 4: Compass Man
Mega Man: Don't get in my way! Please, I want you to let me pass here. I just want to meet and talk with Shadow.

Compass Man: My name is Compassman; Rockman Shadow's friend. After this stage is Shadow's castle. But, I won't let you get past here. Prepare for me to be your enemy from now. You'd better fight for your life if you expect to live.

Scene 5: Final Confrontation
Mega Man: Rockman Shadow! This is the end of your factory. I don't want to fight with you. Let's just stop this meaningless battle.

Rockman Shadow: You finally came. Just like I told you, I will reveal my identity. In the past you fought with a robot named Quint. He was a modified version of you from the future, and so am I. In the future Wily has still not given up his world conquest amibition. To stop that I came back from the future. For the sake of the future, I must erase the existence of the robots of this time. I have no choice but to take the problem at it's roots, the past robots.

Mega Man: And that's why you attacked everyone!? I can't allow such a method like that. Using power to solve things isn't right, is what professor Right always told me. I believe so too! I don't want to see the tears of Roll and everyone! There has to be a better way, and I will stop you!

Scene 6: Epilogue
Mega Man: What a tough fight... It was like I was fighting with myself. When I took you down, I felt as if something in my heart went missing.

Rockman Shadow: Well done, Rockman... Just as I thought. I couldn't win... but this is okay. The truth is, it would be a lie to say that Wily continues his evil ways in the future. With the destruction of Quint, I was the only robot left. But I rebuilt myself to my current level of power. And then I did everything I could to destroy the world. In the future no one could stop me. But I traveled back in time, so that I could find someone that could defeat me.

Mega Man: Then... that means you wanted to die all along?! Then please go quickly, I don't know if there is any other way!

Rockman Shadow: No, it's alright. I don't expect another robot like me to be created. Didn't you realize it? As you fought with my subordinates... Every time you defeat an enemy, it becomes more dangerous for you. I was literally your shadow. Don't drown yourself in power like I did, Rockman. Keep on protecting everyone... Farewell...

(Rockman Shadow dies.)

Mega Man: I understand, Shadow... I'll continue my fight from here. I promise I won't misuse my power. Goodbye...

(Scene cuts to view Mega Man and Bass standing near Rockman Shadow's grave.)

Mega Man: Forte, I'm going to leave the rest to you. I want to go back to everyone. But if you get violent again, I'll stop you with all my power! From now on my goal is to create a world without war!

(Mega Man and Bass teleport away. After a few seconds, Rockman Shadow's spirit appears from the grave, blinks, and then rises into the sky, becoming an energy ball much like a Cyber-elf. Scene cuts to the credits.)
