Series 3 Issue #3 - Geminiman's Birthday

By: Gemini Man (Lennon)

The day starts like any other day on the road for the Mechanical Maniacs.

Lennon: (Waking up) Hey! I can't see!

A mysterious figure rips some duct tape covering Lennon's eyes off.

Lennon: OW! Hey!

Gary: HA! HA! April Fools!

*Runs off and vanishes without a trace*

Writer's Note: For those that are a bit slow my birthday is on April Fools.

Lennon: Damn! I'll get you back Ice!

Outside

Lennon: Hey guys!

Gauntlet: Hey Gemini!

Needlegal: Morning!

Titanium91: Hey Gem, want some breakfast?

Sean: Yeah, have a bite.

*Winks*

Nightmare: Shut up! It's a secret.

Lennon: Okay! I'm aware it's April Fools so don't bother pulling any tricks!

Jacob: We would never do such a thing.

Gauntlet: Have a seat.

*Tries to hide a smile*

Lennon looks at Gauntlet for a while and decides to sit at a different seat.

A Search Snake pops up and bites Lennon.

Lennon: OW!

All (except Lennon): APRIL FOOLS!

Lennon attacks Jacob but is easily over powered.

Jacob: Psycho!

Hard: nnnnnnnnnhhhhhh!

Nightmare: Remember Search Snakes are his weakness.

Sean: That's the point.

Lennon: *remains silent*

Needlegal: I guess he's not in a laughing mood.

Titanium91: Well he has been through a lot. Remember the time he was tied to the tow bar of the station wagon*?

*This happened in S2 #19.

Gauntlet: Yeah that was pretty funny.

After a while Lennon goes back to sleep.

Nightmare: Hey what's with him?

Hard: nnnnnnnnnhhhhhh!

Sean: What's that? It's his birthday?

Gauntlet: I didn't know that!

Needlegal: I don't think anyone did.

Mysterious voice: Why don't we all sit down and relax?

Jacob: That's a good idea Magnet.

Titanium91: What? I didn't say anything.

The mysterious person turns out to be Jonathan.

Jonathan: APRIL FOOLS! *Pushes a button* Bolts of electricity hit the Maniacs.

All: AH!

Jonathan: *Laughs like a maniac and holds the button*

Titanium91 explodes (He's weak against electricity).

Jonathan: Oops!*Disappears without a trace*

Sean: I guess we better rebuild Magnet.

Needlegal: Aren't we going to throw some sought of birthday party?

Nightmare: For whom?

Needlegal and Nightmare: Gemini! Jinx!

Needlegal and Nightmare: Rats!

Jacob punches both of them.

Needlegal and Nightmare: OW!

Jacob: *punches them again* You can't talk in jinx! Ha! Ha!

Gauntlet: Okay Hard and Top go find Gem a present. Here's some money.

Nightmare: Yes! I'm out of jinx. This is real money? You're a bit generous Gauntlet.

Gauntlet: I guess I am. Hey, what's that?

Everyone looks behind them and Gauntlet switches the money with counterfeit money

Later…

Gauntlet: Are you done rebuilding Magnet?

Sean: I'm nearly done with his head.

Needlegal: You better be! I have a feeling someone's going to attack.

Jacob: *Punches Needlegal* Yeah we have been here for quite a while.

Sean: Relax. If someone is coming to get us either Top, Hard or Gemini will come back and warn us.

Needlegal: Actually, Top can't he's in jinx.

Jacob: *Punches Needlegal*

Needlegal: Ow!

Gauntlet: Hey! This is getting old. We still need to throw a surprise party for Gem.

Jacob: I might as well prepare it.

Elsewhere

Wily: Finally I have tracked down the Mechanical Maniacs!

Chimera: So what's going to happen boss?

Spin: Yeah, what's your master plan?

Wily: You see Spin Man, We will follow him and attack once he reaches wherever the MM are.

War: Brilliant plan boss!

Meanwhile

Lennon: Great. Looks like they left.

All (except Lennon): SURPRISE!

Lennon: (shocked) Wow! A surprise party! What's the trick?

Gauntlet: No trick. Hard told us it was your birthday so we decided to throw you a party.

Sean: We couldn't get many presents though.

Titanium91: Clown decided to pay a visit.

Lennon: That would explain why you're in bits and pieces.

Jacob: I guess Sparky is getting a bit rusty.

Sean: Hey!

Lennon: Well… Let's open some presents!

After a few presents Lennon finds the last present.

Lennon: Is this the legendary Seven Force?

Nightmare: Unfortunately no. It's a replica; it doesn't have the transforming ability and we painted it blue. It cost quite a bit.

Hard: nnnnnnnnnhhhhhh!

Gauntlet: Not really, thanks to my counterfeit money making machine!

Lennon: Thanks guys.

Wily: And thank you for being in one place.

All: Wily!

Gauntlet: I thought Top killed you!

Claw: What Top destroyed was his robotic clone.

Wily: Well lets cut to the chase.

Chimera: What chase? They don't seem to be running.

War: Are you thick or something?

Wily: Never mind him. I've created a gem that will drain the power of one of your Transmetal bodies and leave you helpless. Now who should go first?

Wily throws the gem at Gauntlet.

Wily: Now I'll have my revenge!

Lennon: Look out!

Lennon pushes Gauntlet out of the way and takes the blast.

Wily: What?

Lennon stands in his normal clothes, in his human form with an energy shield surrounding him.

Wily: (Stunned) um… Attack!

War: W Strike!

Hardman's armor withstands the blast.

Gauntlet: That was unexpected.

Needlegal: (now out of jinx) I know.

Jacob: Forget it. Let's just beat these guys into a pulp.

The battle starts.

Lennon: I'd do something but I'm too weak in my human form.

Gauntlet: Their stronger than usual!

Titanium91: Hey! Watch where you step! I'm the head of Magnet the Mighty!

Spin: You're not the only one who can spin!

Nightmare: Maybe but I'm the better model!

Lennon: Wait a sec! I got an idea.

Wily: Hey! This looks like fun!

Wily uses the gem and transform into Gemini Man.

Wily: Gemini Laser!

Needlegal: OW! I've had enough!

Needlegal nails Wily with Needle Cannon causing him to lose the gem.

Lennon: Yes!

*Grabs the gem and transforms*

Lennon: Now! Gemini Force! Ram into Wily's minions!

Gauntlet hits Chimera with a Shadow Blade forcing him into Claw

Claw: Hey! Back off!

Spin: What do you think you're doing?

The 4 start to fight.

Nightmare: Take this! Top spin!

The force knocks Wily's minions over and Gemini Force destroys them all.

Wily: No! You'll pay for this!

*Escapes*

Lennon: Ha! I knew it! All Megaman characters are weak to spikes!

Jacob: Hmm… I guess everything turned out all right.

Needlegal: And we learned something to.

Gauntlet: And the magic moment…

Needlegal: April Fools is a great day for practical jokes but sometimes you can go too far.

Titanium91: Yeah. I'm a man without a body

Lennon: Which reminds me I built a transmitter so you can use Gemini Force as transport when you need it.

Hard: nnnnnnnnnhhhhhh!

The transmitter zaps the Maniacs except Lennon.

Lennon: APRIL FOOLS!

Nightmare: Well until Chimera becomes smart we are The Mechanical Maniacs!
