Temple of the Moon (Super Adventure Rockman episode)

Super Adventure Rockman episode 1, Temple of the Moon (月の神殿).

1
In the year 20XX, an earthquake happens in the Amazon Rainforest and ancient ruins surface from the ground. The United Nations gathered scientists from around the world to analyze the ruins, discovering that a strong electromagnetic wave is coming from the temple in the area. The electromagnetic field destroyed any vehicle and tool that approached it, making further analyzes impossible. One year later, the United Nations ceased formal investigations, claiming that the ruins were from the Mayan civilization and naming them Lanfront Ruins and the pyramid Temple of the Moon.

Three years later, Dr. Wily goes to the Amazon Rainforest to investigate the ruins. Still far away from them, the field causes his vehicle to stop working and his compass becomes useless. Although surprised by its effects, Wily is determined and continues on foot.

Weeks later, in Dr. Light's Laboratory, Rush and Beat are playing outside, Mega Man (Rockman) is in front of a computer, and Dr. Light (Dr. Right) is looking another computer in the same room. Dr. Light is surprised by what he sees. This is the first time the player can make a choice:

...なんだろう？ (...wonder what is it?)
 * ふり向く (Turn around) to see what surprised Dr. Light. (Recommended for the story and for those looking to have as many animations as possible in the replay that becomes available after completing the episode)
 * ふり向かない (Don't turn around) to ignore it. (Recommended for those who want to proceed as fast as possible, but skipped parts will not appear in the replay)

Mega Man asks what Dr. Light is seeing, and Light explains that the field around the Temple of the Moon is getting stronger. In the moment it is not a problem, but its faster increase concerns Dr. Light. Roll enters the room and asks if that's the place Dr. Wily went, and Mega Man believes that there may be a connection.

Proceed to 3.

Mega Man remembers that one month ago, Dr. Wily was working with Dr. Light. The two doctors see an increase in the electromagnetic field from the Lanfront Ruins, but have no clue of what is causing it. Dr. Light asks Mega Man to contact the United Nations to investigate the ruins one more time, but Dr. Wily asks them to let him handle the investigation, wanting to make something good so people can forgive his past actions. Mega Man returns to the present by a sudden noise. Roll has collapsed, breaking the glasses she was carrying.

Roll is taken to the laboratory, where Dr. Light examines her. Light realizes that the strong electromagnetic field from the ruins are starting to affect the entire planet, weakening robots around the world. As Roll is a girl robot, and one of the first of her kind, she was affected first, but soon it will spread and destroy everything electronic.

えっ！？ (Eh!?)
 * 心配する (Worry) and ask if Roll will be fine. (Longer, recommended for story)
 * 心配しない (Don't worry). (Faster)

4
Mega Man asks if Roll will be alright, but Dr. Light believes that, if the field continues getting stronger, in two weeks it will short out her microchip. The field doesn't show any signs of getting weaker, and he can't do anything if it causes Roll, and the robots around the world, stop functioning. Without the robots and electricity, it would also be the end for the humans. Mega Man is now very worried about Roll's condition.

Proceed to 5.

Suddenly, the monitors in Dr. Light's Laboratory light up and Dr. Wily appears on them. Dr. Wily declares that everyone around the world refused to recognize his genius, and now he is inside the Temple of the Moon, harnessing its power. He demands the world to surrender to him in a period of two weeks.

Dr. Light prepares Mega Man, Rush, and Beat to go to the Lanfront Ruins by coating them with an electromagnetic shield. However, it only lasts for two weeks, so Mega Man must discover the source of the EM field and destroy it before it happens, or else he and the world may come to an end. Cut Man, Guts Man, Ice Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, and Elec Man are also in the laboratory, and once they are given the immunization from the EM field, they will go to the ruins to help Mega Man.

With a jet, Mega Man, Rush and Beat travel to the Amazon Rainforest, and Dr. Light says that he will give support by sending Item Boxes to the area. Their vehicle is affected by the electromagnetic waves, and Mega Man abandons it before it crashes in the water, proceeding with Rush Jet. In the forest, he is attacked by Rembakuns.

Arrows appear in the screen:
 * If the player dodges by pressing left or right, Mega Man avoids the bombs and attacks the Rembakuns.
 * If the player is hit, Mega Man suffers 6 points of damage. Fight the Rembakuns.

連続爆撃！レンバクン (Continuous Bombing! Rembakun)
This is the first battle in the game and is very simple, serving as a training to the player. Each Rembakun and bomb goes down in one hit. There is a total of 18 Rembakuns, each dropping one bomb, and each Rembakun that passes reduces their total life even when not destroyed. The battle ends after all of them pass or are destroyed.

The player can't lose this battle even when hit in the animation (6 damage) and all 18 bombs here (5 damage each), but if this happens Mega Man with be left with only 4 HP. As destroying the Rembakuns isn't required to win, focus on their bombs if they drop any before being destroyed.


 * After the battle...

Seeing that the pit is long, Mega Man decides to try jumping over it as they don't have much time. Mega Man barely manages it, hanging in the edge. While going up, Beat warns him of a Metal Blade coming in his direction. Mega Man dodges by lowering down in the pit and nearly falls. Jumping out of it, he attacks the direction the blade came from and tells Metal Man to show up. Doing as he asked, Metal Man reveals himself, starting a battle between the two robots.
