Remember that time when we had all those random adventures?

By Raijin (Snakeman) but mostly Gauntlet (Shadowman)

(Many years ago, in the mythical land where Megaman Teams were new, clever, and popular...)

Skullman: Okay, guys, it's time to fill the gap between the Dream Team and Cossack's Creations with a Megaman 3 team! All you guys are set up so ... later.

(Skullman is never head from again).

C.J. (Topman): Thanks to all our hard work (well, that other team's Skullman's work) our site is up and running. I guess the next thing we need is epilogues. Anyone have any ideas, or wanna start writing something, sometime?

Gauntlet (Shadowman): Here. I wrote a series's worth.

C.J.: What? When!?

Gauntlet: Once you suggested it.

C.J.: In the last ten seconds?

Gauntlet: Are you going to post them or what?

C.J.: (reads a few) Hm .. these are kind of self serving...

Gauntlet: You did suggest we could write solo adventures.

Titanium 91 (Magnetman): While you guys sort this out, I'm gonna work on some Noid stuff for a while. LONG LIVE THE NOID!

(Titanium 91 disappears into the depths.)

Jacob (Snakeman): I'm gonna crash at Gary's place and see if Ken's up to anything. Holler if you need me!

(Jacob is never heard from again)

C.J.: Well, let's see here...hmm...uhh?...ughh...ulp...bleah! Y-yeah, sure, I'll post them when I get the chance.

(Several months later...)

XT Gemini: You all suck donkey balls! And then you eat the balls of the donkeys!

XT Proto: Heh heh ... yeah.

XT Gemini: WE CAME FIRST!

Gauntlet: You really didn't.

XT Gemini: LIES! We have our OWN MESSAGE BOARD AND SITE! And they're BETTER!

XT Proto: Yeah, totally.

XT Gemini: XTREME TEAM RULES!!!!!

(Gauntlet pummels XT Gemini and Proto.)

Gauntlet: That's enough outta you! Now that I'm leader and uber webmaster-

C.J.:What does that even mean!? Let me out of the basement!

Gauntlet: -we're finally going to post those epilogues.

C.J.:But there's already an epilogue up! And it has nothing to do with anything -

Gauntlet: It doesn't matter. I don't care. Let's get this show on the road!

Series 1

(So the world came to know of the exploits of the Mechanical Maniacs! The eight robot masters of Mega Man 3 lived in a warehouse, plotting to take over the world by resurrecting the giant peacekeeping robot Gamma, but also fought crime for money to fund this resurrection. There was Hardman, the slot that could not be filled...)

Hardman: nnnnnnhhhhhhh...

(...Gauntlet (Shadowman), who is also Shadowman (Gauntlet), the lazy and dishonest author character who blows off the team for his own adventures...)

Gauntlet(Shadowman): That's me (Shadowman (Gauntle t(Shadowman)))! Catch me if you can in my stolen Sunfires!

Topman: Is there any reason you like them so much?

Shadowman: It's just the name, actually. Here, have some money from my counterfeit money machine to cool you down.

Topman: Where the HELL did all this come from!?

Shadowman: Now THAT is a secret! Nya nya!

(...And the rest!)

The Rest: Hi.

(Together (but mostly just Shadowman), they encountered deadly foes.)

Galvatron: Nghaaahh!

Shadowman: You're tough, but no match for this super-attack I shamelessly lifted from an anime for no apparent reason!

Galvatron: Nghooohh!?

(They met their lifetime rivals.)

Torchman: We are the true MM3 team! We are the true Sinister Six!

Shadowman: *Sigh* They really are our rivals for life, aren't they? Great.

(They had an amazing adventure where they fought all the major bosses from all three Megaman series of the time ... resulting in some surprising situations.)

Dr. Wily: I'll be back! I'll take over all the Megaman webpages and then .... they'll all be ... wait, that's one really stupid plan! I'll just take over the world.

Geminiman: Why do people think this jerk's so hard?

Megaman Juno: Shall I give your tense muscles a massage, sir?

Sigma: Shall I prepare you some tea to alleviate the stress from our battle, sir?

(Eventually, Eric joined as the first Hardman-with-a-personality, just in time for the last two stories before quitting. In an odd twist one was actually the very first epilogue on the site since CJ figured they could simply write Hardman however they wanted without much regard to who would eventually join.)

Hardman: Hey all, pleasure to be workinnnnnnhhhhhh...

(When chaos and nonsense occurs everywhere at once, the Mechanical Maniacs split up with their own solo stories to fight the various threats and stop the time-traveling villain Extant, the source of all the anomalies.)

Extant: Not that my absence will stop the chaos and nonsense at all...

Geminiman Red: Stop! You'll spoil the rest of the series!

Snakeman: Wait, who are you!?

Geminiman Red: I was made in a Kryptonite accident meant to create an element of Gamma. And I'm eeeeeevil!

Doc Robot: Speaking of evil, heya, kids! The spare character from Megaman 3 is here and I'm sure to be a classic Mechanical Maniacs villain!

Geminiman Red: We'll be remembered FOREVER!

(Hardman and Geminiman pummel their respective villains as Gauntlet wonders why Eric introduced Doc Robot as such a wacky character.).

Needleman: Now that it's over, we learned something. We learned that if you want to see action on your team you have to be ready to contribute that action yourself. Well, see ya.

Shadowman: You and Hard are both quitting just when things are picking up?

Anton (Needleman): I'd like to focus on X-Force. And I'm leaving the Dream Team too.

Magnetman: You were on the Megaman 2 team too?

Anton (Needleman): Yeah. We also learned you shouldn't be on more than one team at once. I'm sure that's a lesson that will stick with everyone.

Eric (Hardman): I wrote my own solo story, but that kinda tapped me out. At least I got to write myself receiving a ridiculous amount of money. Here's a ridiculous amount of money to remember me by.

Shadowman: Sweet, now we can buy the Technodrome!

Topman: What? Weren't we saving up for the resurrection. of Gamma?

Shadowman: Technodrome first.

Cast:
Sean as .....	Sparkman	Jacob as .....	Snakeman	Anton as .....	Needleman
Nobody, Eric as .....	Hardman			C.J. as .....	Topman
Gizmo as .....	Geminiman	Titanium 91 as .....	Magnetman	Gauntlet as .....	Shadowman

Magnetman: We could use some new members to replace Anton and Eric.

Shadowman: Oh yeah, that sucks. Finding reliable people is tough...hey, sis! Wanna fill a spot on the team?

Psycho Magnet: Okay.

Shadowman: Great. Welcome aboard, Hardgal!

Needlegal: No.

Shadowman: Whatever. Hard can just go back to-

Hardman: nnnnnhhhhh...

Shadowman: Exactly. Seven members should be fine...Where did Gizmo go?

Magnetman: He just quit as well.

Shadowman: ...Okay, looks like we're out of siblings already. So it's time to accept applications.

(So Sarah becomes Hard Chick, as for Geminiman...)

Sparkman: We got applications from a couple of those Xtreme Team jerks.

Hard Chick: I was part of the Xtreme Team!

Sparkman: Yeah ... as Rush!

Shadowman: Ugh. They just don't give us a break...Hold up, they want to join OUR team? They'd work for ME? Hah! That's perfect! That'll stick it to their asshole leader. Invite them both!

Sparkman: We only have one open spot.

Shadowman: Whatever. It's Geminiman, it can be two.

(So two former members of a rival MM3 team joined as Gemini Blue and Gemini Red. Geminiman Red was also a newly-arrived demon from another dimension besides being on a different team before that, depending on the origin story you read.)

Gemini Red: That's what makes me an evil Nightmare demon, contradictory continuity.

Magnetman: Wait, what happened to that other Geminiman Red?

Gemini Red: I killed him.

Magnetman: What!?

Shadowman: No, he was Gizmo's doppelganger so when he quit there was no point to keeping him around. I mean ... "he was from that one adventure in the past so his time was always limited." Yeah, that one.

Snakeman: Now that the team is complete again (and then some), we can get back to the arduous task of hunting down those elements and rebuilding Gamma.

Shadowman: Right. The part of the plot I have no interest in.

Dr. Wily" Before you do that I'm getting my revenge by restoring Sigma's and Juno's free will! Later, suckers!

Sigma: OH! What the Hell was that!? Why didn't you just kill us!? Megaman would have had the decency to just kill us!

Megaman Juno: It's time for REVENGE!

Ash: Pokeballs, GO!

Sigma: God damn it. Damn it all to Hell.

Megaman Juno: Oh dear.

Sparkman: Thank you, random crossover!

(The search for Gamma begins and...)

Magnetman: Check it out, Doc Robot had a rebuilt Gamma all ready to go!

Needlegal: How convenient!

Doc Robot: Call me Professor Robot! I'm freakin' BRILLIANT!

Torchman: Me and my Sinister Six helped as well!

Sharkman: Yes, I dare to add that we deserve full credit!

Bitman: Quit yer speeches, Sharkie, we all know yer smart.

Sonicman: By the way, me and the other PC1 guys are part of the team.

Voltman: NOW AND FOREVER! SINISTER SIX REUINTE!!!!

Dynaman: We really have to do something about that name ...

Doc Robot: Yeah, it was a team effort (whatever).

Snakeman: Gamma's all done just like that? What was the point of everything we've done up until now?

Bizarro Shadowman: Me am not introduced here too! Me am hated by all!

Doc Robot:I made him! See? I already did something notable ... right?

Bizarro Shadowman: There am brilliant plan for me! Me am not made totally on author's whim!

Magnetman: Whatever. Let's whoop their ass! And sing a song!

Magnet the mighty
Roams through the countryside!
He never needs a place to hide,
With Needle as his sidekick!
Riding with her in a stick!

Righting wrongs and singing songs!
Being Mighty all day long!

I'm Magnet - I'm Magnet THE MIIIIGHTY!!

Topman: Let's take over the world, boys!

(The World Domination plan doesn't work out.)

Shadowman: Knew it. Who wants to rule the world anyway? Think of the work involved.

Magnetman: It would have been fine if Sigma didn't possess Gamma. I guess a computer virus can escape a Pokeball pretty easy.

Sigma: And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you pesky kids! And a plot device from the Sinister Six epilogues. And a crossover with Sniffy the Virtual Rat!

Sniffy: Squeak!

Sigma: AHHH!!!!!

Megaman Juno: Wait, I'm still in here, right?

Magnetman: Oh well, back to random adventures then.

(Eventually, the Sinister Six tires of Torchman's obsessions and delusions following a family feud and an embarrassing show at a party ...)

Torchman: But we JUST expanded! Like ... two epilogues ago!

Oilman: Yeah, but everyone's sick of it already.

Voltman: And you know, we really aren't the first Sinister Six, nor the real Megaman 3 ... right? You get this, right?

Torchman: No, no, no! We really are the true Sinister Six and Megaman 3! You ... you ...

Bitman: Torch, it's over. Just let it go.

Torchman: I'll get you, Mechs! If it's the last thing I ever do!!!

(With the new Geminimen and other members getting in on the action, the Maniacs' world expands. They are pestered by more recurring villains, like Dr.Wily's Evil Eight...)

Chimeraman: Actually we didn't have a formal name at first ... and it was just four of us to boot!

Clawman: I'm the only one imported from the Xtreme Team!

Spinman: Wait ... why do we all have 8bit sprites when everyone else has mugshots!?

Warman: Don't question it.

Gemini Blue: They were my idea.

Shadowman: Another set of 8 dark Robot Masters working for Wily? Real original.

(...And Shadowman's Bizarro clone gets assimilated by the Borg!)

Bizarro Shadowman: Me am worst character never!

Shadowman: Now that's what I'm talking about.

Gemini Blue: ...Everybody understands why I'm always challenging this guy and trying to steal the show, right?

(Then Galvatron returns to attack the Maniacs along with the planet-eating Unicron.)

Galvatron: Nghaaahh!

Unicron: GWOOOHHHH.

(The team has to sacrifice the Technodrome to save themselves.)

Sparkman: Technically we're saving the earth too. There's heroism in all this somewhere.

Megaman juno: And I'm finally free to wreck havoc! TASTE MY EVERLASTING VENGENCE! You will never be free of me now!

(We never see Juno again.)

King: I'm also present! How DARE you not properly introduce me!

Clawman: And my guys make some trouble too!

Shadowman: Quiet! Mine is the only version that's relevant!

(Alas, Topman DIES during the fight, or gets kicked out prior to it, depends on the version of the story. Don't think about it too hard. The explosion from the Technodrome and Unicron gives the team Transmetal Armor and makes Gemini Red the new Topman.)

Magnetman: Sweet. Upgrades!

Shadowman: There, how's that for a normal roster?

Hardman: nnnhhhhh.

Shadowman: Again? What happened to Hard Chick?

Topman: She wasn't too happy about being stuck with the big fat guy body still after I got shifted around, so she quit. Y'know, I didn't really want to be Gemini OR Top...

Shadowman: You'll get used to it.
